The morning stream. The morning stream. Look out, Muppets! Hey, everybody, welcome back to the morning stream. It is TMS for Tuesday, January 26th, 2021. I'm Scott Johnson. There be Brian Abbott. Yes, I'm not falling into it.

Normally, if you launch into a pirate voice, I will follow suit. I'm not going to do it this time. I'm resisting. I like this. I will resist. Yeah, Brian. his own man. He doesn't need me to lead him anywhere. He can make his own choices. And then what will happen is the shoe will be on the other foot and he'll start leading me down roads. And I'll

start doing stuff because he prompted it. See, that's how this works. Exactly. Yes. So we're back. It's a Tuesday, which means second day of the week. And we're happy to be here. We've got stuff to do. Listen, the thing about yesterday was, it was a weird day for me. It was a very busy day. I didn't talk about it on the show so much, but we got, my mom moved to rehab. Right. And she actually did say no, no, no, when they had told me to rehab. Really? Okay. She didn't want to go. She wanted to go home, which she wanted to stay at home with Ray.

Maybe not quite that, but she wanted to stay home. She ain't got 15 days. Here's the problem, though, like her going from her surgery to ICU time to non-ICU to now going to rehab, which could potentially be up to a two-week thing. She doesn't want to do it. She'd rather go home. But here's the problem. John, but I don't know.

Still don't know what to call him. I guess he's my stepdad. John, call him John. All right. He was, I mean, you know. He came into my life when I was like 35. So. Probably in the court of law, if they were to say, the plaintiff's stepfather, John.

But that's, I guess, if you went to a British court, apparently. Right. But, your holiness, I present. yeah so he's whatever he is i just got you i just got you to do a british voice but thank you thank you for that see it's already happening it's already working uh but he's got so he's 90 sorry he's not 90 he's 86 or 87 something like that yeah he's pretty old's pretty old to 90 something yeah but he but for the most part he's always he's always physically been about 20 years younger than he is like he's a very fit physical dude who does just fine and that's great because you know

You want an old guy who can get around. The problem is this stuff with my mom leading up to it and during it and the stress of it all, his back is like completely blown out, like just completely fried. He couldn't even go out in the hospital yesterday was so bad. Oh, no. Right. So now there's that. So yesterday we're dealing with that, like, okay, what are we going to do? We got to help him get worked out and figured out.

And he's super stubborn and doesn't want to do anything about it. Sure. He doesn't want to talk to anybody. He's super stubborn. So we've got to figure him out. And so there's no way if my mom was going home. He can't help her. like he just can't do anything right now while his back is shot and so he's waiting for some doctor to give him some objection that'll like fix it all temporarily anyway so there's that going on there were about 10 other things happening yesterday and it just was crazy and so I felt like I didn't have a proper TMS 10 year mindset like we had a great time yesterday no question but I was just kind of yeah yeah and then like we we had an appointment for Kim to go to the doctor today I'm not getting into details it's nothing serious but she just needs to get checked for some of

something so that's happening today and uh one so it's also all this like i think we've already talked about what's going on anyway haven't we didn't we talk about that last week with i won't say anything either but uh i thought we talked about it you don't you have to go don't you have to go and do it i wasn't trying to prompt for more more details no no it's okay i think i compared it to trying to coil the hose back up after you've had it stretched out over the lawn and we did but where was this we talked about it we talked about it on tms where did we talk no i think we talked about a pre-show film sack, I think. That's where it came up.

No, because people in the chat room were commenting on my specificity of stretching the hose. It was yesterday, they said. Was it yesterday? I don't remember. Yeah, Claire says, that was literally yesterday. Here's how she said it. That was literally yesterday, she says. Says Claire Gack.

So, okay, fair enough. That's the kind of day I had. I don't remember even saying anything. But we will bring it up anyway. basically they're checking a hernia thing is what they're doing yeah and they just want to make sure it's not like you know a problem so they're doing that today at one i'm going whether they're going to make me sit out in the parking lot because you know whatever and uh so i'm going to finish up today's fred and can in the car that's good well you know is he a tin can or an aluminum can he's a tin can

um okay so he was so if some have asked me we know he's an expired can of cream corn but how expired And so the answer is, this can of corn is somewhere in the, it was canned somewhere in the early 90s. So I don't know what, what the 91, 93, that rate. What do they use? What do they use for cans currently? Is it steel? I don't know. I don't even know.

Well, steel would be stainless, right? Unless you'd have less. Yeah. I really don't know what they currently use for cans. I mean, you hear tin can, right? But I don't think they've used, do they still use tin? I didn't think they still used tin. I don't think they use tin anymore.

Aluminum is what they use for pop cans, mush potatoes. Yeah, we knew that. Steel coated with plastic on the inside, yeah. Okay, that makes sense. It's a bummer because I was really hoping it would be either tin or aluminum because it's the 10th anniversary is the tin or aluminum anniversary. Which I only learned yesterday, by the way. Exactly.

Oh, my gosh, I was so embarrassed by that. That was one of the worst. The worst, I mean, I got lucky a whole bunch, but it was one of the worst brain farts for me that we've ever had on here. That's really funny. By the way, I know, it was great watching you guess things like, you know, dirt.

Dirt. Meat. Cheese. Food? Food? Food? Chocolates. I mean, you never know.

Wait, is this Valentine's Day or an anniversary? You never know. If it's like a freaking French tradition, maybe they would say, ah, you give a wheel of cheese. There's a baguette. Happy third anniversary. There's a baguette.

It's really, really good. Yeah, why not? All right, so I brought this up directly to you via text, but I swear to God, the New York Times is watching us, specifically the New York Times crossword puzzle. Thursday, we got on this whole thing about the difference between shortening and lard and fat and Crisco. Yeah. And that evening, I was doing the Friday crossword puzzle, the New York Times crossword puzzle. So it's the Friday one that comes out. You get it, I get it at 8 p.m.

Mountain time. It comes out 10 p.m. Eastern. And I texted you a screenshot of one of the, I'm finding it right now. I'm going to put it up for the chat as well. Oh, yeah, good. Was it Friday? Maybe it was Thursday. But it was, you know, the clue was, um, oh, where is it?

The band name derived from the phrased, Crystalized cotton oil, is that the one? Crystalized cotton seed oil. Yeah. So its name is derived from crystallized cotton seed oil. Oh, my God. Which I didn't know, but I knew, oh, cotton seed oil. Oh, crystallized crystal, Chris, Co, Chrisco, right?

Yep. And so it was like the day we, the day we did it. Right. And in the 10 years of this show, and maybe the entire relationship I've ever known you for, we've never talked about Crisco until that day. Never, never until now. Not once. Um, and then I didn't tell you about this one, but, uh, you remember we, during, uh, play date, we played a game of murder mystery party.

Right. Um, and one of the questions was, how many sides does a tetrahedon have? Hmm. And, uh, oh, right. I thought it was, uh, seven or something. It was like three or 12 or seven or four. And, uh, turned out to be four. And I, I, I was thinking, oh, tetraedans, it's not like 12, but it, you know, it obviously turned out to be four. Sure. That night. the New York Times crossword puzzle

suffix, or sorry, prefix, meaning four. What? Tetra. What? And it's like, what, what's going on here at New York Times crossword puzzle? I don't like that. I mean, I'm sure someone would say, it's just a coincidence, guys. You do a lot of things. You say a lot of things.

So, of course, the puzzle is going to have stuff that accidentally falls in. But two of them, shame, one of them, shame on me. Or you, two of them, shame on everybody. Exactly. However that phrase goes. Crub 73. It's called Bader Meinhofe phenomenon. I know. I know it's, you know, I'm, I'm, things are going to randomly magically sink up. It's like when you go into a room of 100 people and you, you say a day, say a date, it feels like there's always a chance that there are going to be two people that have a birthday on that date, right? There's some weird, it's not like everybody's going to be perfectly decalated amongst themselves to, to not have any, any duplicates, but for whatever reason, it's like, oh, my God, we have two people in this audience of 100 out of 365 days that have the same birth date?

Yeah. Yeah, it's intense. That's what humans. We look for it. We look for it. We like patterns. We like stuff that lines up, and we try to find weird explanations for them. Right.

Like, it can't be, how can it be possible that how? Exactly. How did I look outside and see a dog right when the radio said the word dog? Right, exactly. Weird, weird. So, just, you know, I'm going to go, Will shorts. I'm keeping an eye on you, but I know these things happen. So if a third instance happens, then we're cooking with gas.

This time of year, he's Will pants because it's cold. Will long pants. Yeah. Will long, co-pants. There you go. Cozy pants. Will overcoat. There you go. All right. I got an email we have to share. Once in a while, we get one of these. They're impossible to ignore.

I mean, I guess I could just delete it and ignore it, but I'm not going to... I mean, it's possible to ignore it. Sure. Yeah, I don't want to... I want to get into the probability, possibility stuff here, but we're going to read this one. So this came from Chris. I know this because at the end it says, yours and Chris, Chris. Which I really like...

I do like that. I like that a lot. All right. Chris says, Dear Sylvanus and Borax. Okay? There's no connection between Silvanus and Borax. Sovanus is a fictional World Warcraft character, and Borax. and Borax is a cleaner thing. It's a detergent.

Yeah. Is it also an element? There's no boron. Boron is an element. Thinking of boron, yeah. But Borax, no. There's not a, there's not, in all of the world of warcraft, there's not a, uh, Lieutenant Borax.

A boss called Borax. That feels like it's, it feels like it's, uh. Well, it said to be, it'd be B-O-R-R apostrophe A-X-E or something like that. Right, yes. That's all they do. Borex is a 60 Toran Restoration Druid on the... I mean, this is just somebody's character. Yeah, some dude named himself Borax.

Right, exactly. And didn't get kicked for it. That's fantastic. All right, he says this. Dear Savonis and Borax, have either of you... Excuse me, have either of you ever eaten a raw potato? And if not, under what circumstances would you eat a raw potato? Yours and Chris, Chris.

only by accident like these aren't cooked yet yeah exactly right like you you decide you're gonna make some really cool uh potato rounds like they have at your favorite restaurant and you put them in the uh put them in the frying pan a little bit of oil you flip them over when they look nice and brown on the outside and whoops they're not fully cooked in the middle yeah yeah this has definitely happened to me before yeah uh sometimes at a restaurant usually not though choosing in my own making or whatever. Kim makes a really great corn chowder soup thing. And in it are these potato kind of quarter-round potatoes.

And they're almost always amazing. But one time they were undercooked and it was just like, you know, crunchy and starchy and not great. So the answer to his question for me is, no, not on purpose. Okay, so like just grab. I'm going to assume he means grab a potato, peel that bugger, and just bite into it. Right.

Have not done it. Under what circumstances would I? If I was an astronaut that traveled to Mars and got abandoned by my crew and had to make, grow something with my own poop. Yeah, your own poop. And it turned out to be potatoes. And I didn't have any way of preparing said potatoes. Then you ate a raw potato.

All right. Okay. You know, this is interesting because the guy who wrote The Martian, yeah was the lead developer like software engineer for Warcraft orcs and humans as well as Warcraft 2 and so we've made a real round connection here

no kidding from Silvanus to Borax to potatoes to the Martian to the dude who worked for Warcraft that's right take that Will Pants wherever you are right now work that into number 17 down yeah get that in there buddy anyway yeah if I'm

So basically what you described, you know, as much as it's ripped from that movie. If I'm stranded somewhere, starvation's an issue, potatoes are all I have, I've no way to cook them. Yeah. I'm eating a raw potato. It's fine. Of course. Yes. If it's the only food available, yeah, of course.

But under most circumstances, in modern polite society, I can't think of a reason why I'd want to. No. Yeah. It's not going to be good for you. I'm going to rip through you and give you the diaries. Yeah, I think it would, exactly. Yeah. uh i do need to uh make some smash potatoes um like you know where you take the small potatoes

and you boil them and then you put them in an air fryer and get them all crispy they're so good dude they are so good i've been craving them and we uh around christmas time got a new toaster oven that is a toaster oven um air fryer convection blah blah proofing this that whatever yeah broiler yeah and um since we got that, I've been craving, making smashed uh, smashed potatoes. I've not had those at a bit, but I do love them. Oh man, do I love them? They're very good. But they will not give you. Diareer.

Diarrere. They will not give you diarrhea. If diarrhea is 23 across on tonight's New York Times crossword puzzle will know. We'll know for sure. What did a weird old guy from Florida say when he came off a ship plank?

Right. Yeah. How someone from Staten Island pronounces the squirts Are they doing Can you go on a cruise now? Is that a thing I can do? Like I'm not that I'd want to

But I mean like are we Is that allowed or? I don't know I think Carnival no But you might be able to do like Norwegian or something I mean we've got friends Our friends

Rusty and Shelley Who were getting us Who are going to get us To the Pinball Hall of Fame or pinball festival in Texas this year we're going to get us last year and then we're going to get us this year and now we're going to do it next year.

They went on an 80s cruise that they had booked and it was basically they left on this thing the week after the first COVID cases in the U.S. So like it was timing wise it was like oh crap well we paid for it

we got to go. It's like a little crossover yeah I get it. But it was like a really cool like you know it was 80s rocker cruise. I wish I could find the email. I could, but it'll take too long. But there were a whole bunch of other rock stars on board like Kip Winger, I think, was there.

Oh, my lord. Inve Malmstein or something. But they had the wherewithal to install hand sanitizer all over the place. So like stations everywhere you went, even more than they usually have. And they had banners that, Let's say, hey, rockers, we know you like to high five, but let's try practicing elbow bumps instead.

And it's like a rocker doing one of these with a mask on his face. Wow. So they had the wherewithal to get those banners made up. So it was enough time since COVID hit, but it wasn't, they didn't cancel the cruise. So winger, was the winger guy like top billing or like who else? No, I can't remember. I don't know who was top billing. I could find the email.

he gave me a list of fall was there obviously they had some cancellations that's pretty funny i was looking up by the way while you're looking that up i found carnival's site and uh they are doing cruises however really uh man the sales they got going on right now i mean this is all about all about making people want to go so so check this out uh they used to so the average per person for their national plan vacation day let's see whatever regular cruise like $125 a person, $60 bucks now per person per day. Let's see.

Oh, if you book early, you had to do a $50 per person deposit. Now those are free plus room upgrades for free. Yeah, I'm sure. Please, please come here. If you do a survey, they'll give you another 40% off. These guys are like, please come be here, please. Look at this. uh four day

Bahamas if you leave Charleston South Carolina and go to the Bahamas four days 259 bucks for the whole thing Jeez like this is that's ridiculous I found the here's the banner if you want to if you want to share it

with the uh for sure the live stream I just put it on our Discord awesome right here we go oh my gosh dude really look at these two these guys are great look at these chuckleheads that's only

That's amazing. The 80s cruise recommends elbow bumps and rocking on. Yeah. Don't forget the rocking on part. They are way closer than six feet, though. That's for sure. So was that all like, you know, middle-aged dudes who kind of burned out on their 80s metal? Yeah.

Apparently. And I'm looking at the list, and he says who didn't show up. He says the B-52s and Brett Michaels both canceled. The B-52s. Hold on a minute. The B-52s. So I think it was more like an 80s cruise. as opposed to

a heavy metal like a hair metal cruise I should have broken up into factions and had a fights like Gastown and the bullet farm and stuff like that that would have been cool the 80s rockers with their freaking

Nelson come out and play I would be into that cruise that's cool let's see here's if this is the 2021 yeah here we go Human League 38 special Berlin, Belinda Carlisle, Morris Day in the Time, ABC, DSL, which is the Dyer Strait's legacy.

Oh, wow. That's not the phrase that we, that's not what DSL stood for at my time. Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, and Alan Hunter from MTV. What's Nina Blackwood doing these days? Yeah, well, yeah. The world's best 80s band called Jesse's Girl. Wait. the band is called jesse's girl the band is called i'm sure they're an 80s cover band i'm sure they wear

uh headbands and uh then you got the sugar hill gang johnny hates jazz yeah john caffrony in the beaver brown band great white uh trial by fire don't see those two together no um wait great white was the band the band that burned down the thing right that was my joke of trial by fire right but that was them they're still showing up on cruise thing i thought that was the end of that i thought we'd be done with great white well it wasn't a cruise when uh that the great right thing

great white thing happened in a bar in philadelphia was it their fault i don't remember what happened did they do it it wasn't yeah it was their pyrotechnics oh see that's what i thought i thought that would ban them from like anybody would ever hire them for anything again but i guess not yeah a road island well it certainly uh

you know i think i think nowadays they're probably doing a a pyrotechnic free show. It's a unplugged, great white experience. Must be, yeah. Yeah. Great white sucks.

They're just a bad band. Like, why do we, whatever, it's a cruise with washed up rockers. I get it, I get it. Yeah. All right. Well, I would, you know what, that doesn't sound that bad.

I would probably. No, are you kidding? Human League, Belinda Carlisle, Berlin. I'd be all over this. I don't know who, how many, of these people canceled. Right. But I'd be all over this.

And it goes to Port Canaveral, Nassau, St. Thomas, St. Martin. God, that sounds, it just sounds so good. Oh, no, the one I'm looking at apparently is 2022, March 5th through 12th of next year. And all the people that I mentioned are going. Hey, Brian. I smell a Brian excursion. Now I still can attend this thing that I've been describing. We'll see what happens.

We've got to keep those secondary. weird, mutated versions of COVID away. So far the data suggests, I don't think anything's final yet, but it looks like the current vaccines are also effective on these new, gnarlyer strains, yeah. Because one of them is like a 30% more deadly thing or something. I'm talking out of hand here. More contagious, more deadly. So let's get, hey, everybody, let's get vaccinated.

It's going to happen. I just would love to see if some of these bands change their lyrics for COVID times. So 38 special singing, hold all loosely, six feet apart. Don't touch me. Yep, that band. I used to think they were cool. I had a tape. Sure.

Back in the day. Oh, 38 special was the jam back then, man. They were great. They were all right. They were all right. Kind of a nickel back of its time, if I'm honest. Oh, no. Come on. 30th special?

A little bit. You know, like a string of okay hits and then no one cares, right? Like, that's kind of their legacy. But they, I don't think that they, they thought they were anything better than they were. And that's, that's kind of where I feel like the nickel back. Yeah. Yeah. No, there's something to that.

They, they maybe, at least it felt like they kind of knew their place in history or whatever. I mean, the knack, the knack I'd put into that cat of the, nickel knack is what in that category because they at one time said oh we're bigger than the Beatles or we're going to be bigger than the Beatles and that's thinking maybe you're a little bit more than something you are don't get me wrong I love the knack I miss uh Doug Figer lead singer Doug Figer his last name is Figer I can't remember the first name but um he now runs the MCU over at Disney that's what that's might be why I'm getting confused yeah exactly but uh yeah I don't mind the knack the knack is fine but they do have a knack for overstating their importance in the history Correct. Exactly. They might think they're a little bit more in there. Anyway, I was going to say this. Yeah, potato. Oh, yeah. Brian went, but same deal. You'd only eat the raw potato if you had to. I don't only eat raw potato if I had to. Exactly. Is that where we started this? And then that is the most divergent conversation I've ever had.

It's like, that is a, that's not a rabbit hole. That is a prairie dog tunnel system. Yeah. We just went through. Yeah, Bill Murray's out there trying to find out how to blow it up. I can feel it. Hey, check this out. Dan Wally, Dan Wally says, I'm correct. it is Doug Figer. Oh, I meant to ask you. I meant to ask you this because I was talking about it on Twitter and I meant to ask yesterday, is there a cover, I'm not sorry, not a cover song, is there a one-hit wonder? And by definition, one hit wonder is a band with a single hit is kind of the definite.

With one hit that is like one billboard hit. Some people were confused by this because when I started talking about it on Twitter, they'd come back with things like such and such from the killers. I'm like, dude, the killers are not a one-hit wonder band. That's one of their hits, but that doesn't make them a way. Some people are confused. But anyway, I don't know that you've ever told me. I'm sure you have. But remind me, Brian Abbott's favorite, I mean, so mine the other day was a teenage dirt bag by Weiss. Yeah. Yeah. That's a great one. I love that song. I just freaking love it. There's something in it that just works, I think, for every generation, it's fantastic. But that's like all they had. I mean, they had some other stuff. But it was nothing compared to. that as far as that goes. So that to me is the definition of a one-hit wonder. Do you have

one that stands out for you? Yeah, I won't say this is my favorite. This is the first one that comes to mind is to POW and heart and soul. Oh. Because that was... Give a little bit heart and soul. Give a little bit luck.

Yeah. I see and Talley Zarel says, Come and Eileen. Dexie's Midnight Runners had, they had a couple hits. Come and Aline was the big one, obviously, but they also did had a hit with um a cover of i'm in heaven when you smile it didn't chart as high but it's still it's still got on the charts see an alicar is smoking crack fountains of wayne stacey's mom fountains of wayne had a ton of gray catalog there wasn't just one song yeah yeah see these don't

count these are no good the the you got to look at things like uh oh a cinderella the speaking of hair bands remember cinderella brian remember them Cinderella yeah they had the uh shoe and they went and found the lady and it was a pumpkin. No, different. Different thing. Yeah. Same performing with Salt and Peppa. Nope, that's a different one.

But even, like, rat had, like, two, three songs you could recognize. But Cinderella had, like, a one. And that's what we're looking for here. Not a well-established, well-respected band like Fountains of Wayne. They did all sorts of cool stuff. So you can't count that. I'm too sexy by Wright-Said Fred. Great example.

Great example. Like, Wright-Said Fred had nothing, really had nothing else. Now, Chumbumbumban, Tub-Thumping. Yeah, they had two songs. that were one-hit wonders if they were in different dimensions, right? Like they just happened to have two. Two hit wonders. Who's that?

Chumbawamba. Right? They had two? Didn't they? They had the... Tub-thumping... I saw the sign. Oh, I'm thinking of somebody else.

That's an ace of base. Ace of base. Sorry, so Ace of base. Well, don't turn around. Was a hit for them as well. Yes. So they have two. And I think once you have two, you don't get lumped into this yet.

Right, right. OMC, how bizarre. Great example right there. Yeah, I'm having to look up Dix's minute runners Because you know what? People said, well, it's probably, they were hits in England, but they probably weren't hits in the U.S., which I would totally, totally go with big country.

Yeah. Wouldn't it wonder? I don't know. Is it? In a big country, dream, stay with you. I can't think of another, I can't think of another big country. Wouldn't it be good to be? Nick Kershaw, come on now.

See, that's it. Yeah, I think he only did have one hit. Bigger in the UK. Yeah. He had the riddle and, um, God, I have all of his, I have so many of his singles that were UK imports. Yeah.

That he was great in the UK only made a blip here. Yeah, with his, one of my favorite, one of my favorite 80s performers, actually, Nick Kershaw. How about here in my car? I am safe. First of all. Yeah.

How many they have besides that? Gary Newman. So cars, our friend's electric. Okay. Was that a U.S. hit? Might have only been a U.K. hit. I don't mean, think I know what it is. Don't know that song.

How does it go? Give me a bar. That I can't. That one, that's going to be as tough as trying to sing Nuthbush City Limits by Tina Turner like I tried to do during a film sack this last weekend. Yeah. That was a fun attempt, though. I enjoy it. Donald Lewis, now in a minute.

Didn't she, she also had, um, I love you always forever here. Didn't she have two? Uh, feels like that. Oh, see. Okay. And Lars, the cars had drive. Oh, yeah.

They also, come on. The cars had a ton. The cars, that car, I'm, you know what? How do you ban people in the chat room? That is terrible. Kicking ban. Just kidding. We're not going to, we're not going to kick you.

But that, you, that now, if all you ever. heard was drive okay yeah yeah exactly they have a gigantic tonight she comes uh yeah they even had like three or four more hits from the same album is drive that hello again was a hit yeah that album was huge and also they gave us that great uh that great line that's a really good advice still today this one don't let nobody pick your bum that's right exactly so all right kaja gogoo i'll give you if you don't count Lamal's success with the

solo success with the never-ending story. Never-ending story. Yeah, but as far as Kajagugu, yeah, I mean, the band, which that would be, me bringing that up would be like a technicality. Yeah, for sure. Mickey, Tony Basil.

Falco, uh, two hits, uh, Rokhmea Madeus and, uh, Dercomassar, which became a bigger hit for after the fire with their, English language version of Don't Turn Around. Yeah, I like that song. But that makes them a two-hit wonder.

The church, unguarded moment and No, church had a couple hits. Und guarded moment and Reptile? No, there was another one that was a bigger one for the church. Reptile wins. My favorite finishing move in Mortal Kombat.

Hey, did you do you know who? Oh, aha, is that count? Someone was trying to tell me that Take On Me is like their only thing that was ever there. Take On Me was big, but it was their biggest, but the sun always shines on TV, hit the Billboard charts as well. Oh, I forgot about that one.

And I think even the James Bond theme broke into the Billboard charts as well. Yeah. Under the Milky Way was the other church, big church single. And those are the rules, right? If we're counting hits, if they're on. If they're on billboards, at the billboard charts somewhere in the list, that's how we can say.

Yeah, I mean, basically a hit is making it on to the billboard hot 100. Okay. Hot 100, not the top 40, but the hot 100. The hot 100. Okay. Which is all that. I mean, that's, I don't, you know, that's, that's, it's probably pretty subjective, right? As far as what is, or objective, it's probably, uh, based on what somebody wants to say as a one hit wonder.

Do they cross, did they hit the top 10? twice, or did they hit the top 40, or did they hit the top 100? But for me, it's Dan Walley says, top 40 is a hit. Top 100 is just marketing. You know what? That's, what does Wikipedia say

is the definition of a hit? I don't know. Here we go. Do they say? Fred Bronson, a journalist and former writer for Billboard magazine in his book, Billboard's hottest hotest, hot 100 hits uses the criterion that an artist is ineligible to be categorized as a one-hit wonder if they have a second song listed on the Billboard Hot 100.

Hot 100, okay. Me and Fred Bronson. Boy, does that sound like a made-up name. Ibitt and Bronson, together at last. Ibitt and Bronson. It's Team Bronson. So the Hot 100, incidentally, or coincidentally, the Hot 100 is also what the casting agents at the CW call the only people they hire for their TV shows, the Hot 100. That's right.

That's all they work with. They do about 100 people. They're all hot and they make TV from them. So good job, guys. Hey, real quick here. We forgot about the bills yesterday. We have somebody taking us to task. Phil from Buffalo wrote in.

It says, dear scrubbing and bubbles. After listening to the brief recap of this weekend's sports ball games, I wish to lodge a complaint on the part of the Buffalo Bills, who went completely unmentioned. I ask you please rectify this situation. immediately, sincerely, 1994. There we go. We've mentioned the Buffalo Bills.

Yeah, we've mentioned them. The Bills did win. No, right? The Bills lost to the Chiefs. Right. What am I saying? We're down to two teams. Yeah, they're done.

They're out. So why would you, that's us mentioning them is just sad. Right? That's a sad. It just brings up a sore point for poor Phil from Buffalo. Yeah, mention those losers. Yes. Okay. And then we got a new listener alert.

I like to call these out on the show. Oh. Hi, guys. This is from Cal, short for calendar, I assume. So it's hi guys. Just started listening to the show about six months ago, and we moved from Oakland to Arvada. So imagine my surprise when learning that Ibit is from Arvada, and currently there, and Jury is from Oakland. Well, he's actually from Florida, but is currently in Oakland. Anyway, keep up the good work. Maybe Brian can drop some fire food recommendations for newcomers to the Denver area. Like some hot, you know, fire food.

Just some hot. They're not like food that is served on fire. Yes, Brian, could you please list all your flambay choices in the area? Well, I mean, there's, let's see, you can get a good baked Alaska over at this place. Sure. You usually have one big one you recommend, but like we're in COVID times, things are weird. It's not Costa Vita. The Lot One Burger at a place called Lot One in Five Parks is currently my new

favorite non-chain burger. And the only caveat to that, the chain burger that just goes right above that is the bonsai from Red Robin because of the pineapple and the terriaki and I don't know

what kind of crack they're putting in there, but I desire it. But Lot 1 here in Arvada in five parts, don't try and get any of the other fancy burgers they have on their menu. Get the Lot One burger and you won't be disappointed.

Sounds fantastic. What else? I want that today. Yeah. Like right now, I would eat that. I would. Yeah, I'll reach out to me, Cal. Let me know what kind of food you like.

Covervill at gmail.com, and I'll give you some recommendations. Because it's hard to just throw out, like, right now I don't even have a Mexican food place that is my go-to because the one, the one that was my favorite in downtown Denver, Benis, is closed still because of COVID. Are they planning on reopening or are they done? Who knows? Their website, they are being mum on their website and definitely not Casa Benita. They're also on the bubble.

Are they going to open? Are they just going to let it die? We don't know. Just a bummer because Casa Benita is like, you know, it feels like such a Denver. Yeah, it's a staple, but that you don't want to eat. eat you know yeah like it needs to be there for other reasons there's a reason that you have to buy to be able to walk into that place you have to buy a meal yeah you can always go to uh buffalo

shots or whatever the hell it's called uh the your your bobert lady owns she owns a place called buffalo shots oh buffalo shots yeah great i'm sure it's nothing but really intellectual smart people there i wonder if you have to wear a mask to go in there oh yeah lucille's Seals is awesome, breakfast place, New Orleans-style breakfast place, and their bignets are off the hook. Oh, a good bignay. Coffee and bignets, man. That sounds really good. Yes, Maltabeast.

Nice. All right. Well, anyway, Cal, I hope you enjoy your time in Arvada. There's some rumor floating around in the chat that juries moving to Texas. Is this true? Really? I don't know. Is he going to Austin?

Is he moved closer to Schwed so they can finally consummate and have coitus, or what's that's the time? well so it's not a rumor it's happening oh no wonder so they were talking about home ownership on the um on twitter and i couldn't figure out what they were what this is coming from because i'm like Oakland prices are ridiculous and now it makes sense okay that all makes sense all right they're just going to get out there we're going to have to do this so we can compete because uh you know if they're going to be doing i know what they're planning attack. I could see them changing their show to the nightly attack. Yeah. Do it at night. You do it in the morning and then I'm going to sue. I'm going to sue you guys into the dirt. A, A, A, A, T, N, A, A, A. If they do it, if they start doing a morning show, I'm going to, seriously, I'm going to send. Gloves or gloves are off. Yeah, I'm going to send bugs in the mail or something. It's going to be bad for you guys. Don't do it. You hear me now? You hear me then. Look at me. Look at you.

That's right. All right, Brian, we're going to do some news. Not a ton of it, but some. We're going to do that by playing this here transition right here. It's time for the news brought to you by. I can pour my coffee and do an ad at the same time. Indy games done right with Scott Johnson and Brian Dunaway tonight on the Boop Show, 3.30 p.m. Mountain Time live at frogpants.tv or later,

whenever you want to listen to it on podcast, wherever you get them. frogpants.com, boop, for details. There you go. Just in case somebody wants to spell it, B-U-P-E. Yeah, slash boop for those. Did you grab that domain just in case? No, I think we have boop-show.com, just in case. We probably should just forward it.

I don't know why I'm not doing that. I should do that. Oh, yeah. Bup. I have a few like that. Bup. The Bube show. Hey, guys, look at this. We got some trapped Chinese miners.

Yeah, that's right. Oh, no. You'd think. or 18. Is that the deal? Well, oh, I see what you thought. You thought they were kids, but no, no, no. These are, and these guys are chopping at the rocks to find the good stones. Their mining skill is almost, almost maxed.

Something like that. They're getting there. But anyway, 12 miners have been trapped underground after an explosion in a Chinese mine, which is no good. Anyway, they said, thanks for the medicine, because they sent down some medicine. That was good. That is good. And they've got this little communication, thin communication tunnel, let people know what's going on. So we've got some nutritional liquids, some medicine.

But right now they just really want pork sausages. That's all they want now. It's great. Like, oh, I just, I'm visualizing the old cartoon long line of sausages that are linked, like basically link sausages that are all attached with just like a pulley system that they're just like cranking it down. down the well and they're just constantly pulling them. Now I'm told some breaking news here. Since the story first appeared, it looks like they've all been rescued.

So that's good. Yeah. So that's really good. So now they can get their nutritional liquids, medicine and sausage at home. Yeah. Oh, I was going to tell you, my mom had to drink thick and liquid her first day after surgery.

Yeah. Because they pull that intubation out and you've had it in there for 10 hours. Sometimes you can't swallow like worth crap. So you got to eat your apple. juice. Oh, geez. Is that what she had? Was thickened apple juice? Something like that, yeah. She said, I think that, I have an hard time telling what she was telling me, but I think she said apple and, um, maybe there was one other kind, but definitely that sort of. Apple glunk. Like, Eutonium, the Eutonium liquor, what's that call? Where you can punch the liquid and it doesn't

move. Right, Newtonian. Newtonian. Newtonian. Newtonian. She says it's a lot like that. Like you could do that with, uh, what is it? It's, um, oh it's the stuff you thickened gravy with what is that corn starch right corn starch yeah corn starch and water i want to make my own but i want it to be non-neutonian yes non-neutonian i want it to be a big old like a pool that's what i want i don't want it like a little glass that's lame yeah and then you can try and jump into it and you'll look like that uh swedish guy who that that meme of the swedish guy jumping on the frozen swimming pool and cracking his spine yeah honestly of all the videos i of all the videos i ever saw on the internet that one probably lives the most rent-free in my head. I see that guy all the time. Yeah, and it's, it is just painful. Yep.

Like any kind of slipping and falling on ice and landing on your butt, ever since I did that on the, on the stairs and, uh, uh, coxed my coxics. Yeah. I just, I feel it anytime I see something like that. Do you still have your donut? Do you still have that around?

No. No. Okay. Well, I imagine somewhere in the house, but no, I don't need it anymore. That's what you're asking. Look, I don't know where you put your coxics, but I'm not going to ask. Wherever I put it, it's the 10 years of the last people who put their coxics there or something. There's some phrase there.

There's something there. We'll workshop it. Don't worry, everybody. We'll find it. I'm proud of myself that I get that whole birthday, the birthday thing, birthday problem, describe the paradox. Yeah, well done on that. Avengers in the news. Check this out.

This is crazy. So still haven't seen Wanda Vision. Can't get the family together. I think I'm going to finally just watch it myself. Really? What's the matter with you, people? Everybody's got something going on. It's like, all right, fine.

Like last night they were like, oh, I don't know if the mood to think about something new. Just watch King of the Hill or something. I'm like, okay, I'm just doing this then. It's going to be me doing it. But anyway, originally, apparently, Avengers End games original post credits had a scene that was going to set up Wanda Vision

and they pulled it. hmm i'm curious what that scene would have been um i might have given away too much i would say right like if you're gonna you just spent time in your last two-part films eliminating vision and maybe that's too much to think about when then they're setting up this thing where suddenly visions in your thing with wanda and you're like no wait a minute and maybe that makes your brain go to what they're actually doing here which i theorized yesterday based on nothing because I haven't seen it. Yeah.

But I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I would have been curious to see how, and I wonder if they'll ever release that post-credit scene because obviously it's not on the Blu-ray. Right. I'd be really curious to see what they do.

It says here it's some of their most unique storytelling to date, which even though I haven't seen it, I would agree, it's weird. Based on what's been revealed in its one-hour special premiere, this is a little older now. It's nothing like anything from the franchise before. leans into inspiration with direct reference to I Love Lucy and Bewitched but with hints to a bigger and darker

narrative going on. That said, things panned out the way Marvel Studios originally wanted and Game would have explicitly set this up through a stinger. And as it stood, we didn't get any kind of stinger at all. Right? Did we get anything? We had the funeral. We had... We had... We had...

Stark's funeral. There had... It's a Marvel movie, right? No? No stinger? I guess not I don't think we did because I guess it's a way of saying you know let's let's we we de-emphasize

Tony Stark's sacrifice if we have the rest of the team eating Schwarma at the end yeah yeah I think that that was probably the right move that's right it was the actor's signatures was like showing them and then their their signatures that was really cool yeah I really like that

by the way speaking of that Schwama thing somebody put the a Bernie meme into the Avengers Swarmacine. That's perfect. You know what everybody's been trying to do

is insert him into everything? But one of my favorite ones was where somebody finally went, well, what if we put insert things into him? So they duplicated two Bernie sitting there with their mittens and their coats. Yeah.

And then they put the heads of Waldorf and salad or whatever the other Stettler and Waldorf. And they put them both put their heads on them and it looked like they were like laughing at each other. It was perfect. It might be my favorite of all of them.

That's great. That's awesome. At some point today, and I'm hoping that it's not so far gone, but Joel telling the 3D printing nerd, great guy, and I follow him on Twitter, and so jelly that he and Bill Duran are friends,

he's going to be posting a little 3D print Bernie that you can make, and it's Bernie without the chair so that you can, like, Put a little sticky on his butt and stick him on the top of your monitor with his legs hanging over. Oh, my gosh. Right? I want that. Who doesn't want one of those? I'm sick of that meme and I want it.

I know. Right. I want it right now. Let's do this. Yeah. Yeah, no, people are crazy. The things I saw, like somebody knitted an entire thing with like within an hour of seeing this. Oh, well, it was our own Jessica Emil, I think, from the TED pool.

No, I didn't know that. Yeah. Did she crochet it? I didn't know that. She crocheted a. a yarn Bernie. Maybe I saw it on Facebook and it was her. You might have seen it on Facebook, yeah.

Facebook. Oh my God, that one's great. It's like a Jack Kirby Bernie in like the Thanos throne. Well, you know, the first thing people did was like try to think of chair, big, important chairs, right? Yes, right, right. So that's why, the Game of Thrones, the Iron Thrones made sense.

In fact, that took longer than I thought I would. I thought there'd be more Game of Thrones ones. but like I saw a great Modoc one where they just made his head huge what was the other one I saw there was another great chair one anything with a chair and you were just like racking your brain so you could be the next viral freaking mean poster this is pretty good I did the one and I did I put him in the

the the poster name Wanda on top of the no the the mom in or the grandma in vacation who dies and they put her on the roof. Doreen Gray. No, it was like classic Cloris Leachman. Clorce Lechman. Clorce Lechman? Is that right? No.

I love her. I do love her, but I don't think that was Clorce Lechman. But anyway, whoever it was, I basically put Bernie in place of the dead grandma on the top of the family truckster in vacation. You know, we're always worried about Betty White. Has anyone checked on Cloris Leachman? She's 94. Imaging Koka. Thank you, Swamp, brat. Check in on Cloris Leggeman here.

Let's just see how she's doing. Okay, yeah, still around. 94, 94 is old. And I love her, and she should never die. Yeah, so good in Raising Hope. Take that, Betty White. That's right. All right.

Final story here. Yes. A limousine awaited the Tiger King outside of a Texas prison, but that pardon never came. Yeah. But they literally... You gotta know you're pretty bad when even you can't get a pardon

in that cavalcade of pardons that happened on the last day. Yeah, there was a lot of pardons. And there were a lot of sort of not pop culture pardons, but like didn't Lil Wayne or somebody. Yeah, a lot of rap pardons. Yeah, a lot of rap pardons that day. But he had...

There was a limousine waiting out front of the federal prison in anticipation that this was all going to go through and it freaking didn't. He's still serving. his 22-year prison sentence. He was found guilty in 2019 on animal cruelty charges for trying to hire someone

to kill Big Cat Rights activist Carol Baskin. Or what she? Yeah, killed. I killed her. The entire story was told in the much-watched, of course, Tiger King thing on Netflix. No word on a possible pardon in the final

or I guess we're over that now, so it doesn't matter. Malinando Passages legal team. Remember he had that weird ass name. asked Trump to pardon him two weeks before. I call myself Joe Exotic as well if that was. Yeah, exactly. When the president issued his list of 143 pardons and commutations, commutations, right?

Commutations, right? Commute, yeah. After midnight on the Wednesday before him leaving, a Maldondo passage, whatever, was not included. So he didn't get it. He's still there. Mr. Exotic. Yeah. And he had sent this, like, heartfelt letter that was like,

I admire me. They tried everything. They tried spending thousands of dollars at a Trump hotel in hopes that that would, like, he'd see the receipt. Oh, oh, they spent a lot of money in my hotel. Yes, I'll give them a pardon. Yeah, he deserves a pardon. It was like 15,000 bucks or something. Yeah.

But then after this happened, he's on the record interviewing somebody or somebody interviewed him and he's just pissed. And going, I never trusted him. He's a piece of shit president. just like really mad you know Biden should pardon him just to just to uh like like try the nailing it you know like all right you'll pardon him sure you know what tell him he's pardoned get the limo out there again and then just do a jk as it gets close to the door jk and put him back in say we're kidding not jk grammar not jk grammar not jk or jk rolling or jk rowling rolling rolling rolling because i think of the joke that uh that uh somebody had an nerdacular how does uh how does

harry potter get around locking jk rolling oh and that's how we knew it was pronounced rolling that's how we knew it was pronounced rolling oh well there you go kids remember that in case you're wondering how to misspell a very controversial character person right now all right we're gonna take a break when we come back just and robert young will be here i'm asking him about his move but we'll also talk about some other stuff, probably in politics. We're in a new phase here, and we'll see what Jerry has to say about it. That's coming

up next before that. A song selection from the vast and unending library of Brian Abbott. You know, talking about those 80s bands on that cruise, this is the perfect kind of wrap up for that discussion. This is a Canadian retrowave

artist by the name of Ryotron. His real name is Jeff Fetz, but his his performing name is Ryotron, a riotron. He's got a brand new project called Dark Highway, and this just feels like it should be played

during the credits for the Terminator or some great 80s action film. He's, let's see, he let's just get to it. Let's just play it. Shall we? Here's the song,

Dark Highway. by the performer Riatron. I try to run With a dill scene The sky's sun I can run Forever Going out's again

New Year's resolutions of the past. We're looking at you. When it comes to eating better and consuming less sugar, let's be honest, most healthy snacks, just don't taste very good.

They don't fill you up. They certainly don't satisfy your cravings. So, this episode is sponsored by Monk Pack, who makes snacks that taste like our favorite sugary snacks, but with one gram of sugar or less. Oh, man, seems like too much to be true, right? Well, I've eaten them, and I can tell you. They're really good.

Monk Pack keto, nut, and seed bars contain less than one gram of sugar, or two to three grams of net carbs and are only 150 calories total. They're great for anyone who's trying to follow the keto lifestyle and perfect snack for anyone who's just trying to eat better or cut back on sugar and carbs without sacrificing the taste you're used to. I love these things. Let me tell you about my favorite. I got it right here.

Oh, there it is. Look at this thing. This is the monk pack keto granola bar, maple pecan. Now that's just the granola kind. I've eaten all the seed ones because those are probably my actual favorite. I love, there's something about the texture that I love about sesame seeds and other ingredients like that.

And they've been fantastic. The keto nut and seed bars have helped me feel better in the middle of the day when I'm starving and I feel like getting a bag of chips or something. No, I'll eat one of these instead. Munk pack keto and nut bars have the perfect balance with sweet and salty and crunch from whole nuts and seeds but still manage to be soft and chewy.

They come in delicious flavors like sea salt, dark chocolate, pecan almond. And my favorite of those is the peanut butter dark chocolate. Mmm. That one's definitely my favorite. Anyway, they're perfect for a quick snack, satisfy your sweet tooth without all that guilt. Enjoy monk pack keto nut and seed bars as a quick breakfast while running errands or after a workout in addition to being keto friendly. The bars are also gluten-free, plant-based, and non-GMO with no soy, trans fat, sugar alcohols, or artificial colors. You got to stay away from those sugar alcohols, they're bad.

Sound familiar. That is Thunderclease from Brack, the Brack show. Oh, really? Okay. Awesome. I need to watch this now that they're on HBO Max. Yeah, they all, they're all. I don't know how long they've been on.

Max, but I just noticed them the other day, and I told you about it, because I think you were a fan. I love, I love Brack. And I'm like, I don't know, five, six episodes in, but it's so good, dude. I've seen so few of the Brack show episodes, because my, all my Brack enjoyment came from Space Ghost Coast to Coast, which is, you know, there's not a lot of those episodes either. But, yeah, there's, I mean, there's a whole show of Brack. A whole show of Brack. His dad makes me laugh my head off.

Thunder Cleese down the street is this giant evil robot. It's like he's like a neighbor. I don't even know, I don't even know what to say about it, except that whatever is going on in Brack speaks my language 100% and I've always enjoyed it. So it's back, baby. Go watch it. Cool. Brack is back. By the way, back announced, that was Dark Highway by Riotron.

Go check them out, R-I-O-T, just like you would spell it. R-I-O-N. There you go. Riotron. It's like a, you need a riot by Ronco's riotron today. It'll do your riot for. Hey, look at this, you guys. I got this.

These are their stories. Oh, I'm terrible with names. Joining us all the way from beautiful Oakland, California, soon, apparently to be somewhere in Texas. I'm just hearing about this. Justin Robert Young is joining us. Hi, Justin. Hello. Hello, friends.

How are you? I'm good. Hello, hot Justin. You want to, you want to... That's me because I've got your volume up from last week. Yeah, you're fine. Don't go changing. It's me.

It's you. All right, how about now? How about now? It's me. Go back up. Brian messed you up. Go back up. Hello. Hello. Hello. That's what we like. What's going on? That's perfect.

So can you confirm or deny these rumors that you're, you and Schwerer going to finally put, you're going to have a penis fight and go, like, live there? Like, what are you going to do? What's happening? I mean, what are you? My dad? I do what are you? I do what I do? I'm a lone wolf, man. I'm moving through the planes. I'm just seeing where it hangs, brother. Well, I saw you guys talking about house hunting stuff on Twitter, and all I could think of was, oh, that's so expensive in Oakland.

How's that going to go? And boy, boy, howdy, that mortgage, you know, all these things in my head. I didn't realize it was like, oh, maybe it would be in the Austin area, which sounds very cool. Sounds like a great idea, actually. I'm stoked for you guys, was what I'm saying. So just don't do a daily morning show with Schwed. That's all I'm saying.

Don't do that. Have a nighttime show. We're going head to head, baby. We're going to, and I'm going to do, I'm going to have myself on as a guest on Tuesdays. I'm going to, I'm going to steal me away. And I'm going to, I'm going to counter program. Wow. No, so yeah, we're moving to Austin.

It's going to happen this year. Either Ashley or I have bought a house before, so that's been its own process. And, you know, it's weird it's it's weird leaving um a place that we've lived for uh you know damn near 10 years now and um while it's in such a weird place you know yeah like it's uh it's it's very odd you know because the things that you would think you would do when you were leaving someplace after after living here for a while like do all your favorite things. go to all your favorite restaurants,

make sure that you're kind of like getting the last kind of taste just doesn't exist. Like we, you know, some of our friends have already moved. You know, others,

you know, we are not in our bubble, so we haven't really seen in a while, nor would it really be appropriate to see them, you know, in the next few weeks. And, yeah,

so it's simultaneously, almost more intense because we've only hung out with like two people that are in our bubble one that lives in our building and another that is a friend of mine for

I mean a year now really and so it's odd but at the same time this is something that's kind of been in the offing for a while and as much as we love this area

affording a place was just never really going to be Well, I'll put it this way. There are three factors. Number one, we would need a lot of money to buy a place out here, which, like, I have faith in myself. You know, we could, I could, you know, get some job and then another job and then another job and make enough money. Okay. Then we would need to buy a place in a place that we liked around here.

Yeah. All right. Another layer of complexity. Maybe it would take a while. We've known some friends that have saved up for, for, for, for. a long time that have tried to buy and it's you know a not in areas that we

necessarily think are are great and they still can't get it and then there's the third and this is really the most tricky the state mandated monopoly of a power company PG&E keeps lighting things on fire on an annual basis

causing city choking uh smoke to to to come through and and that's something that Ashley as as an asthmatic uh has only gotten worse and and you know this year wasn't as bad because she didn't have to leave the house oddly enough COVID protected her from it but uh in the previous year she was she was dealing with the ramifications of just living in that kind of smoke for like two and a half months

afterward and that's just something that was was not going to go away Yeah. Because PG&E is a horrifying company. Yeah, they're bad from what I can tell. So this is weird. It's not weird. It seems like it's just typical. We have an estimated somewhere in the range of 14 to 15 new neighbors around here that have either bought home homes or some of these new town homes that have gone up or whatever.

And like 12 of them are from California. Like everybody's moving here from California. The big, we have this island space that's like in this lake. it's hard to explain but it's across the road from us and uh inside of that the inner island uh residences which just started being built uh maybe two years ago and now are really in full full blown mode or whatever these houses are like 1.2 2 million something like that um which for here is an enormous amount of money for a house in california these same houses would be 15 million 25 million like they'd be really expensive yeah yeah and uh so what's

happening is those are all California transplants who are either commuting, a quick, you know, quick trip plane commuting back to California every week and staying there for a week and coming back if that's their job. But they're paying enormously less amounts of money. But ironically, making the entire housing market here go, starting to go up to meet these, you know, California people that are thrilled about how low it is, but the price is coming up to meet them. And it's just, it's a, it's weird right now. just a weird thing for us, not used to it. We're used to have in our little bubble of like, you know, normal housing prices

and not having it affected by too much weird interstate stuff, but not right now. I think part of it is also just COVID. You know, if there's one thing that the lockdowns have taught us is appreciating the area that we live in all the time. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Yeah.

No, I think that's fair. And so the, you know, the, the, the fact that, you know, that's, that's part of the reason why we're, you know, it's like, hey, look, number one, I think we've understood that Ashley and I won't kill each other if we are forced to see each other 20 hours a day every day. Yes. You pass the test, dude, a whole year of that. And you guys got it. Look at that. But at the, but at the same time, boy, would it be nice to have more rooms? And it would be, it would be nice to have a little bit more space. So, you know, that's, that's the process that we're going through right now. And, you know, we'll see.

I mean, home buying and Austin is, is also a tricky thing. It ain't exactly cheap out there. It's cheaper than here. Like, we have, it's affordable to get a place that is 10 minutes away from downtown there in a way that it is not here. Yeah. But, you know, and the space you can get is a lot more, a lot more, a lot more amenable. But it is also a very competitive market, and it's not exactly going down. Right, right.

You know, the California to Texas pipeline is real. And there is no more California-friendly city in Texas than Austin. Oh, for sure. Or at least Bay Area Friendly City. Plus, then you will be under the careful, considered quality leadership of Senator Ted Cruz of the great state of Texas. So you'll have him, you'll have him looking over everything and making sure that the rights of Texans are first. The trains run on time. That's right.

It'll be very hard to give up the studied exciting leadership of Diane Feinstein. you know, I'll have to make do. I just saw her in a documentary for that night stalker killer. About the birth of the earth? No, no, no. It wasn't that. It wasn't. And on the seventh day, God called up his best gal-pal Diane Feinstein.

I mean, it does feel like that. But it turns out she was kind of instrumental in screwing up the Nightstocker case in the 80s. and making it so that guy got probably two or three more murders under his belt before they finally got him due to her leaking a bunch of stuff to the press. It was bad. Oh, really? Yeah. She was younger then, too, but it was a fascinating documentary.

She also apparently had a Chinese spy as her driver for like 10 years. Really? Yeah, look it up. She just like, it just like came out randomly. She's like, oh, yeah, no, we took care of it. He was just like my driver for 10 years, this Chinese spy. Wow. I didn't know about that.

That's funny. I'll have to, yeah, I'm probably getting some of the details wrong. But I know Chinese spy Diane Feinstein and for a longer period of time than like two days. Yeah. Yeah, she's trouble. All right. Anyway. Yeah, it's funny here in the Bay Area because I don't know if I've met anybody that is like,

Yay, Nancy Pelosi. Like, or yay, Diane Feinstein. And yet they get elected like they're like Kim Jong-un, like Saddam Hussein. Like they just get elected by like dictator margins each time. Yeah. That's a weird thing. But also I would have said, I don't know of anyone who likes Donald Trump. And yet there we were, right?

Like I don't know how this stuff happens. But hot damn does it happen? No, but you did know people that like Donald Trump. I did know. emailed you but I know you all you did was complain about people who like have you listened to your own show for the last six years look I know that but what I'm saying is I also knew people I know people now who I follow or talk to or whatever that that love Pelosi and I can't figure out why they have the devotion they have for I guess what

I'm saying is none of it makes sense like it's all crazy I yeah I'm saying it's a local thing like I know people that that defend and love Nancy Pelosi. I just don't know a lot of them in the Bay Area. Right. Who are theoretically the people that are voting for her because she's in the house. Here's the interesting thing, though. Like you changed my very DNA on politics about two and a half weeks ago. And I haven't told you about this yet.

Well, I did a little bit on text. I think you did. Maybe I did. But basically, so here it is for everybody else to hear. Justin made a comment on the show about how politics are. ground up in this country. Like it isn't, we perceive it as, ah,

that old bastard Ted Cruz is in office and he's saying all kinds of dumb stuff and it's all oh man, what a fire brand, bam, you know, like we see it. And he is poisoning the populace. Yes. That the populace are empty vessels and now the leaders

are spewing either inspiration or hate, whatever is in their little pitchers. Right. They are filling the empty vessels below them and we are a product of our leaders. Right. That is the impression or at least the sort of modus of most of us, we see it that way.

And when you said, you think it's the other way around that it's, it comes from the bottom and then those who represent us eventually not representing, obviously no one's going to represent everybody, but those who get elected

have the majority who vote for them. You know, barring gerrymandering and barring all the other issues, everybody wants to bring into this just for a second here and just push those to the side, just for conversation's sake, like the reason that a guy like Josh Hawley or a guy like Ted Cruz or a guy like Kevin McCarthy or whoever has the positions, the elected power that they have is because it came from down here. And so in a lot of ways, they are the representation. In some ways, it's like this is the system working. It may not work for everybody all the time,

but this we may not be happy about it we may be very unhappy about it right the people that get elected are so it's not top down it's bottom up right and and the idea being that there are and when you watch politics for

long enough it's fairly obvious because you see a ton of politicians trying things they all try to be oh well I'm going to try to be this kind of guy and I'm into fiscal conservatism but maritime liberalism or whatever and and they fall flat because it's just not what the people want the people

they get elected and stay elected are good at understanding their voters and giving them what they want or at least giving enough of their voters that will get them elected what they want they are trying and shifting to be the person that they believe uh they want to see and that historically uh you know is can sometimes be very ugly it can sometimes be inspiring it can sometimes be everything but but that is humanity right and uh yeah now here's so the other the other thing about it to me is what or why it changed the way i perceive things is i'll listen to somebody like ran paul the other day um they asked him point blank on some new show some morning sunday show they said, do you accept this, you know, basically, do you still deny that this election was

fraudulent or whatever? What's your stand on now? Do you think it was a fair election? Yeah, and he just refuses to say that it was a fair election. He just refuses. He danced around to use other language. He just refuses to say it. Now, my first reaction to that normally would be, you anus, like you know better, and I do think he knows better, obviously. But him saying all that stuff, I'd just be mad at him, him down. But I'm not as mad at I'm so you would be mostly mad at him because he is setting a bad example for other people. And so he is giving the okay for other people to think like that. Right. That's what I would be part of your ex. Normally why I would be most angry. What what I'm seeing instead, which I think is the truth, is that he in a calculated

way, knows how he will stay in elected seats, and the way that he will stay in those seats is by call it pandering, call it whatever you want, but by saying what those people want to hear the most, knowing what state he's in, like Lindsey Graham the other day, for a guy who I can't freaking stand, he sure once in a while says words that are true without him knowing how true it is when he said it. He basically said, you know, like where do the Republican stand? on this trial that's coming up. He says, well, talking specifically about GOP, and he goes, well, I guess it depends on what state they're in

and what their voters think. And that's it. Like, Brand Paul's hardest, most ardent, devote the most money, give the most, do the most grassroots stuff, those guys, he's saying what they want him to say because that's how he gets to be in the cyclical system of keep getting elected and never have a turn limit for a senator. So, again, I'm starting to sound naive about this, but it really clicked with me in a way that it hadn't before.

And I don't see it. I see it from a different angle now. And I don't know, just change the way I perceive this stuff a little bit. I'm not saying thanks. I'm just saying, well done, jury, well done. Well, no, thank you. Well, I mean, you're welcome. I don't care if you say thanks or not.

I'm going to act like you did and just say, you're welcome. Anytime. Yeah. No. we're at a weird time right now we're at a weird place because it does feel like some of the pressure is off compared to when Trump was in

it feels like there is a sizable portion of our electorate that has taken their foot off the gas a little bit and that of course will have its own frustrating ramifications when the changes that many were hoping either don't come as fast or maybe not at all. We've already seen $2,000 checks immediately if they win the two seats in Georgia become $1,400 checks that'll happen maybe by March, maybe by April.

You know, that when there is no, when the pressure is not as high, those are the kinds of things that, that happen. But at the same time, I do think that there is a moment for conversation. There is a moment for if the pitchforks aren't quite as sharp. I mean, in a lot of ways, this feels like the first time that we've had. this moment in six years because we didn't have it during the 2016 election. I don't think we had it at all during the Trump presidency. Right. And this is kind of what normally happens.

And even after what happened on the sixth, there is a moment now of exhalation. uh in in terms of of politics as everybody kind of reloads for whatever's going to happen in 2022 and then of course 24 yeah well the way i see it um the uh i guess i guess i guess where this all brings me to is i'm not surprised that the rhetoric on the right right now from not all of them but many of them um aligns with where the they're from, and I don't mean, you know, everyone in Kentucky's a racist. That's not what I mean. I'm not, I'm making those kind of generalizations. But what I mean is like, everybody is saying what they're saying, and I still think they're debags for saying it about how the sixth was no big deal. We should move on healing everyone, healing, all that sort of stuff. It's really obnoxious to me because if this was just a Benghazi level, they would not, they would never end. They'd go and go. go. And I'm not even saying they shouldn't go on something that's a big deal like that. Maybe you should. But it's just so, it's, it's so typical that now we're there. I'm just seeing

that typicality differently. Because it used to be just like, oh, you're just such dicks. Like, you're a dick. But now you're such a dick that you're really digging in like a real dick up here. But what I'm actually seeing is, of course Lindsey Graham's going to talk the way he talks. What else would he do? And I don't mean because that's who he is. I mean because, That's kind of who he serves. Like the mandates and the things that have happened from the left, meaning taking control of the House in 2018, narrowly keeping it this last time.

But then this Georgia runoff going in that favor so that we now have a tiebreaker and Kamala Harris and all this stuff. In the Senate. Yeah. These are all of that movement is also from people getting out the vote and doing the thing on this side of the fence. in a way that's motivating people who maybe wouldn't even have normally voted or whatever.

That's why they all control it. That's why there's a Democrat in the White House. So I guess I just get it more. I don't know. I get it more. It doesn't make me, like if I was in an elevator, Ted Cruz, I'd still want to pin him down and kick him in the nuts 50 times. Like, that would be assault straight up.

Oh, I know. I know. That would be, you could tell him you wanted to do it, but otherwise you'd be arrested. Yeah. That's a, that's assault. Yeah, it is. When's the last time you guys?

into a physical fight. What was the last time you got into an elevator? Elevator was two months ago for, what was I in the elevator for? I don't remember. Oh, when I was on that trip to St. George and we had an elevator to our place that we had. Last time I got in a fight. Last time I got in a fight. Physical altercation.

Yeah. Junior high. I was going to say it, it feels like school. It doesn't feel like you were getting in, you were throwing a lot of. hands in your 20s. I punched this kid. So here's the quick version of the story. I've told it before,

but this kid in this art class had stolen my concept and my whole project art thing. You stole my concept. So he started drawing. So junior, junior high, we're talking, what, six, seventh eighth grade? Seventh grade, I think.

And he copied it and tried to turn it in before mine was done. So basically it was going to get a grade for a thing that when I would turn mine in, it looked like I copied him. But it was the other way around. And I got so mad that I confronted him in class and said, you're cheating and you know it. And you got to tell Mr. Wintersstrom. That was our teacher's name. And he said, wow, this memory is sharp.

He goes, well, I'll tell you why in a second. He goes, I'm not going to tell him anything. I'm just going to turn it in here. Just like just being a total ass. He's this big thing. Was he a bully or was he a nerd? He was a bully. He was a big kid.

And I was as skinny as a rail like. A big kid who was copying art. Yeah. Well, you know, maybe he had kind of a tortured soul. He may have. Of course you take his side, Justin. Yeah, of course you would, Justin, of course. So I hauled off.

Yeah, I'm trying to, I don't know, I'm trying to, I'm going to option this and sell it to Netflix. You see both sides. No, I'm trying to figure out how I can get six episodes out of this. I'm going to do, I'm going to do a podcast series. So I reared back as hard as I could and improperly punched him. By that, I mean, you know, you're supposed to do it head on. I did it. I did it with more of a curve

and hit my hip mainly with the final two fingers, mostly the pinky. And without knowing it because I was so full of adrenaline, you didn't put your thumb inside. No, no, no, no. I didn't do that.

That's bad. But I broke my pinky and it came, the bone popped out of my skin. Whoa! And I didn't know it because I was so full of adrenaline, I just didn't know

what was happening until later. Yeah. But I punched him so hard that I broke my pinky. You can still see the white little scar from where they fixed it. And he, I broke his nose. Jeez.

So he's just bleeding all over the place. And he starts crying, whee-oh, like freaking out. I remember it sounded like that. It was like, bo-oh, like that. And the teacher came over and goes, okay, that, and then grabbed us and then marched us down to the thing. He took my concept. I got suspended for a week and a half and had to wear a cast and all that.

It was lame. So anyway, that's the last fight I got into. It's a long time ago. I don't believe. I'm a lover, not a fighter, jury. I don't want to, you know, I don't want a fist of cuffs with you or anyone else. I don't want to fight. Well, yeah.

I mean, you fight in school because it's basically prison. Yeah. That's why the first day of school, I went up to the biggest kid I could find and punched him out. I know. And then by senior year, you were prom king. Like, that's how it works. People don't realize. These are the pads. Well, wait. Why did you ask me, when was my last fight? I'm just curious. What was that about?

Oh, I don't know. Because you said you were going to, you were going to kick Ted Cruz in the nuts 60 times. And I'm like, well, geez, I don't even know if you have the wind for that. Like, that seems like something you should train for. Like, I was just, I don't know, maybe, maybe you don't seem like the kind of guy who would just start scrapping in the parking lot of the Home Depot, but maybe. Oh, my God. I'm visualizing such a great training montage for this where there's like a, a, a, sack of flour on the floor and he's kicking it and then you know juke and at first yeah first

he like he kicks the bag of flour and he hurts his foot and I'm just there in a flowing robe like shaking my head disapprovingly like again again yeah look I have this I did have this one problem for a long time that I've talked to Wendy about

maybe even on the show because I could never understand where this is coming from maybe it's just pent up or whatever but when I would in my old neighborhood when we'd drive past this gas station that was kind of at the nexus of where all these neighborhoods spread out from and we'd have to pass it no matter anytime you go to the highway or whatever you had to pass this gas station and out front we're always like six 15 year old kids on skateboards uh just loitering screwing around and loitering and no big deal they're just sort of there and but every time i drive by there i always had this wicked temptation like to the point of almost like like almost acted on it a couple of times to get out of the car and just scare the shit out of those kids like just walk up to him and go what do you do in your little pieces of just really put the put the fire in them and uh never did it but i feel like you know someone i'm not saying that that that fighting is good you know violence against other people is good

ever but there is something in our human nature that needs release sometimes like just to get that stuff out, whether it's punching your wall or playing Call of Duty till midnight or whatever it is. And apparently there was a period there where I really needed to get something out because, man, I just wanted to freak in those kids, dude, and they weren't even doing anything. And I wasn't that old. It was probably like

I feel like there is an element because for me, a lot of that was you know, a lot of those kind of like mid-20s testosterone was like bar arguments and bar fights and stuff like that. Yeah. And that

that seems like that that that is something that that was not a part of your your 20 something era yeah yeah uh i guess fair because because by the time that i hit 30 i knew how bad i wasn't fighting and how stupid it was and i i had been through it enough to know that like oh that's a dumb thing i'm dumb that's that's that's wow like never did i wake up the next day and be like yeah like i was always like oh what was that even about well i didn't go to enough bars because i didn't drink and i probably could have got more stuff out of me if i well no i mean but you actually had a productive life so like that's you know the things you accomplished that like yeah you i was laying on the floor of the jackson hole uh beer tap pub sure sure exactly yeah no

i i got obsessed with side quests and you just like a hundred percent ended the game. Like, you know, you just finished it way earlier. I did kind of mainline the story. You're not wrong. That's a good way of putting it. It's like an open world game. I mainline the story. You guys got hung up on side quests. I like it. But now we've got all these

world quests that are open to us. Oh, no. Well, you can't. Now we can't. Now we're screwed. Twisting course. Here we come. All right. Well, uh, where you unlock those world quests. Oh, I did want to, did I say this to you already? I can't remember now. You're always telling me how you're not a gamer. You're always telling me how you're not a gamer. But then you went

and freaking uh got did what do you do in hearthstone for the month uh you got legend you got legend in a video game if that's a video game yeah so uh

well i mean i play harstone i play because it's mobile and and let's be clear here friends i was not a legend player in harstone i am a mobile only legend player i am the mulp i don't know how many other mulps there

are in the Harthstone community but I know that there are a lot of Dalps deck tracker assistant

legend players I put deck trackers one word but that's nice it's nice that a lot of people sit at a computer and they can see what's in their deck and they have predictions and probabilities of what the other person's deck are and they can play it you know it's like uh taking a an airplane flight

somewhere not me not the mulp not the mobile only legend player no deck tracker uh uh you're playing it while you're also cooking food every day while you're eating food while you're washing dishes i don't know any other not a video game though all of these things still support the i've never said that i don't play arson the joke has always been that I don't play video games. I play Harstone. Yeah. I would play.

That being said, I have played a lot more, I got the Oculus. Oh, playing a lot more Oculus. What are you playing on the Oculus? What do you like? Yeah, what do you like? Walk about golf, baby. Yeah, me and Brian Brushwood and Andrew Heaton are,

are we, every once in a while, it's become almost like a daily thing. We just head on over to the put-putt golf course and talk to each other and play golf, and it's super fun. That's actually pretty rad. Do you also, I thought you guys were playing Among Us or something. Were you guys doing that? Not us.

That might be some other people. Okay. I just think after playing that finally, that felt like a game that somebody like you would excel in. It just seemed like. Yeah, I mean, I have nothing against it. really my problem with video games is not really a problem it's it's a problem with me it's a problem with time it's a problem with being able to make all the things that i want to make and staying on schedule and uh making sure that uh everything is um uh you know i i remain motivated

sure that's the biggest thing the biggest thing is just making sure that you know because there's a lot of stuff that i'm working on and and i've also here's the other problem is that I've also been trying to not talk about what I'm working on. Because that's another thing that takes away from from me doing it. Especially if I'm the one,

if I'm the boss, if I talk about doing it, then I will definitely not do it. Like I have to live, my motivation has to be providing as fully formed a product to people as I

possibly can. And so, So that means me, you know, not doing certain things or being cagey, but it also means that when I have free time, I think about what I can do to advance those goals. And it probably comes at the cost of me just saying, you want to know what? It's time. I go play video games. You know what I didn't need now is video games. I need a good video game.

Well, why don't you now tell us about the other things you're working on? You'll want people to go listen to and watch. What's good this week on the jury channel? Well, man, I don't know. Oh, I have merch now. Oh, yeah, that's right. Politicsmerch.com. If you go to politicsmerch.com,

then you can find, you can find logo merch for politics, politics, politics, for Raise the Dead Season 1, Kennedy v. Nick. in and Raised the Dead season two, Johnson versus Goldwater. But we got all sorts of stuff there. T-shirts and mugs, stickers,

magnets, masks. I got a mask coming. I forget which, I think it's Raised the Dead season two that I have. Yeah, that's right, because you didn't want to put your face on a mask.

Yeah. Oh, maybe I did talk about this last time. We did talk about this last week, now that you're saying it, yep. But, very good.

there we go and go and do that and then uh i'll tell you what if you haven't subscribed to the newsletter in a while or i haven't checked out the newsletter or haven't heard about it then go and check that out free political newsletter at free political newsletter dot com it's uh it's kind of changed um now now uh each day there's a little bit more of of like a written out writing tickets a little bit less of a digest there is the digest at the end but there's a part up top that's kind of me giving my thoughts on stuff. And, of course, the emails remain the best in the business. So that is a daily fixture as well.

So go ahead and check that out. Free Political Newsletter at freepolitical newsletter. Justin Robert Young, have a fantastic week. Good log on the house. Good log. Good log, you, good, sir. Good log, everyone. Good log.

Stay safe and have a good log. The jury will now have a good law. Oh, damn it. What did I do? The jury will now retire. I forget every time. Every time I forget. Okay.

It's all right. It's become funnier if you forget than it would be if you remember it. Yes. And that was, by the way, a lot more fun than talking about the trial that's happening in a week and a half. Oh, I agree. Totally agree. Blah. All right.

Let's be done. There is some information here about Frog Pants Fantasy Football. Brian, you want to tell us what that? That's right. Yeah, the Tidepool Fantasy Football for the 2020 season wrapped up. They have their biggest year this year with four full leagues running, the film sac, the TMS, the core, and the instance leagues, which is great. I just love seeing that. So let me announce the winners. Thanks to Jigger Dad who sent these in.

This one's going out to Aaron, says I am turning 42 on January 26, and would love to hear a cover that week to make up for not being able to do much to celebrate this year. I have two ideas, but if neither is workable, I trust Brian to pick something cool. Number one, surely there are spinal tap covers out there, question mark.
