WEBVTT - Introducing: BUZZ

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Hello, I'm John Lithgow and I want to tell you

0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>about my new fiction podcast, We Choose to Go to

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the Moon.

0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:13.080
<v Speaker 2>It's an audio thriller about Buzz Aldrey, one of.

0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 1>The true pioneers of space.

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 3>On a ramp.

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Those words would become cemented in our culture, but they

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:33.879
<v Speaker 1>weren't my words. This man is about to land on

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 1>the Moon. Everything seems to be going as smoothly as

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 1>parking your car at the local supermarket.

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.280
<v Speaker 4>Houston Tranquility Base here the eagle has landed.

0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Get to a hell of a job, Buzz. That's the

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>story you think you know. This is the story you don't.

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 4>Buzz has resented that I'm commander since the crew assignments

0:00:55.400 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 4>were announced. Predisposition to depression, alcohol abuse, and suicide when.

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 3>You get back.

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:04.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't want a hero, Buzz. I want a husband.

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 4>I want to bother for our kids.

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Pack your stuff. That's it. You're firing Buzz Aldron. For

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Christ's sake, Buzz, you were famous, you were a hero.

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>What happened? Are you? Colonel Aldron? Buzz Aldron. We'll see

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Buzz face his frailties.

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't respond, I couldn't focus. Overcome demons what do

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:29.320
<v Speaker 2>you say, Buzz?

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Another beer, much obliged foul and triumph over addiction.

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.119
<v Speaker 2>You're a great pilot, Buzz, as far as I'm concerned,

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.199
<v Speaker 2>the best I've seen, and become a.

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.679
<v Speaker 4>True hero, Roger Houston. Buzz and I will proceed into

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 4>the lunar module.

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Not because he conquers space. You see you, Buzz, Aldron,

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 1>good luck to you, but because he conquers himself. If

0:01:55.000 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm an egomaniac, it's only because I'm vastly superior. Buds.

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>We intercepted a Soviet radio transmission. They launched zond and

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>one on a lunar trajectory starring me John Lithgow. Can

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>you put it through?

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 4>Can you translate on
