And more on this episode of The Morning Stream.
You know, in several girls' colleges, they have a course in good grooming for which they give regular college credit.
And believe it or not, one full period is devoted to teaching girls how to wash their faces.
But you don't need to go to college to learn that.
Wow, that's the best soup I've ever had.
It's whiskey.
The morning's dream.
The morning stream.
The morning stream.
The morning stream.
Morning stream.
The morning stream.
With Scott and Brian and a caveman.
Street.
On Xtrecht, everybody, and welcome to TMS.
It is the morning stream for Thursday, February 25th.
Holy crap.
Are we almost in the month?
Geez.
Yeah, like three more days.
Four more days if you can include today of this month.
Is that crazy or what?
That's crazy.
This is about a year ago now, all of our fantastic government officials were telling us that
coronavirus was nothing to worry about.
Remember that?
That was great.
That's right.
We've got it under control.
It's like one guy.
It's fine.
Yeah, exactly.
Eh, a little sunlight.
It'll be fine.
Fine.
Yeah.
Anyway, so here we are on the other side of that.
Let's not hope that we're not, like, going to look back at this in here and say,
ah, when we get the vaccine, everything's going to be fine.
Remember when we said that?
Remember when we thought that once we got the vaccine, everything would be fine?
I mean, I'm ready now.
Let's go.
Give it to me.
God, I'm ready now.
Just on my arm.
I'll open, I'll rip my clothes.
off and hold my arm right here in your face and say, please, put it in me. I don't think you know how
the vaccine works, Scott. I just want my jab to get it over with. Have it done. Even though I've
got this little tiny head cold right now, I'd take the jab now and get more sick on top of it.
I don't care. Just give it to me. Give it to me. Now, you and I are, you know, we're not, we're not in that
upper, we're not any of those first few tears, Scott. No, we're not. Although, if I went right now,
an eight, like a box, an entire box of crispy cream donuts.
I might put myself into that, into that higher risk category if I just didn't.
Well, yeah, I mean, the weight card is one that we can play.
No, not weight. Sugar, man. Sugar. They put you up there. If you can get yourself into full
diabetic mode, they'll bump you way up. Diabetic shock. Yeah, right. There you go. Yeah.
Sure. So let's just fill up on a dozen greasy potato-based sugar donuts.
Well, it's funny you say that.
We'll talk to Bobby Frankenberger about it a little bit, but Krispy Kreme came out with a Mars donut in honor of perseverance on Mars.
And is it what separates it from the regular donut?
It's red.
Yeah, the little dirt.
I get some crumbly crumbles on it to make it look like Mars.
And it's take you seven minutes to eat it.
Okay, perfect.
And now, and if I put it.
it up if I put two on my eyes? Will I look like Ronnie Cox on the surface of Mars and
total recall? You will, yes.
You ask the Mars.
I need to kind of see that thing. Yeah, LC Knight says, as a diabetic who lost a body part,
please don't. No, I'm not going to, man. I'm not going to. I'm just saying, just put it in my
arm is what I'm saying. And also, there is a list now. So you can get on this list here in
Salt Lake City. I know this is true in other places. Jury's doing it in, uh,
in Oakland, you can get on a list.
So here's what happens.
If somebody in the high risk groups cancels or can't get the shot for some reason
or is sick and can't go in and get it,
there's lots of reasons why you might miss your appointment.
If you get on this list so that they don't waste those shots,
they will call you and say, hey, grandma Butterbean fell out today.
So come on down and get your shot.
So we're on a list, but I don't have a lot of faith that it's going to get to us ever.
No, I have, I'm on a list now.
So basically there's a SCL, I think it's SCL that I'm on a list for here.
Basically, the requirement is you have to be within 15 minutes of an SCL hospital so that they can say, oh, we've got extra doses.
All right.
Get the word out and jup, everybody comes, right?
And or at least they send it out to a subgroup of that and say, all right, we've got 50 doses.
Send this out to 75 people or something.
Sure.
um according to google maps and apple maps and all that stuff i'm 17 minutes away from an scel hospital
now the way i drive i think i can do it in 12 i was gonna say because you could shave some
of that off at the way you drive i can easily shave some of that off i know i know ways
yeah people are like hey brian takes 10 hours to get the salt lake for nertacular but really
he's here in seven or something like that's exactly right yes there's long stretches of
that Wyoming Highway before you get
Little America
and after Little America
you can fly. It's like that song
Wyoming Highway
I never want to drive on
you all night long. Is that how it goes?
That's exactly right. Yes.
All right. I've been practicing.
From the Disney Pixar movie
trucks. Fantastic.
Excellent. Vehicles. Check out vehicles, everyone.
Coming to a screen near you.
So, hey, here's the deal. I had a
weird dream. Got to share it.
because it involved you, all right?
Oh, all right.
Had some other weird dreams lately,
but I haven't shared them on the show
because they weren't that weird.
Yeah, I go from being excited and flattered
to being apprehensive and a little concerned.
Well, you might be with this one.
Well, maybe not because you're,
you didn't, the dream did not hose you over like it did me.
So Brian in my dream is a up-and-coming magician.
Okay.
And he's starting to get real big,
like just traveling all over the play.
getting specials made where you're like you know two hours special on uh oh wait i got to turn the
camera on you do that again okay wow it's mesmerizing truly that's right uh where'd you get that
by the way what is that it's a old-fashioned wand magician supply store yeah what was the why did
they ever look like that whose idea was it yeah what's the point of like a black wand with two
white tips yeah i always wondered about that i don't know always wondered uh probably well
I mean, because it's, it's, number one, it's probably something you can hide a bouquet of roses in easily, like one of those pop-up bouquet of roses things.
Oh, sure.
Also, because the tip, even though it's not litter or anything, because it's white, and especially in front of, like, a black tuxedo or a black jacket would stand out.
So it's easy to follow, like, you know, right now, everybody watching me is mesmerized by what I'm doing right now.
Oh, yeah, I can't look away.
Honestly, yeah, I can't look away.
Oh, wait, there's a Tempest machine.
Never meant I can look away.
But anyway, yeah, so that thing has been around my whole life,
and I swear I've never really understood why it looks the way it does.
But now that you mention it, those guys were always in top hats and tuxitos.
And this just matches that.
So I guess that's what you do.
But no one uses wands anymore.
David Blaine doesn't get up and go, look at my wand.
He doesn't do any of that.
The modern magicians don't.
But you know what?
I still see Penn and Teller doing.
As a matter of fact, when I did the.
masterclass, the pen and teller master class, that's what actually made me pick up this one
because it is a distraction. Like while you're, while you're doing this with this, you know,
I've already stolen your watch and your wallet with this hand while you're focused on this whole
thing, this business over there. The ultimate of misdirection is what you got there in your hand.
So, so yeah, so this fits really well if you took that master class because this all makes
sense now. So I don't know why it placed you in this position in the dream, but you've got a passing
but apparently I've trained. This is the dream I've been training for my entire life, Scott. Right, right. Finally, that masterclass was worth every penny. So in the dream, you're just this up-and-coming magician. Nobody can stop talking about you. You perform mainly in Vegas, but you're all over the country. For some reason, COVID-19 doesn't exist in my dream. That's great. And you're just on fire. Tonight show, like in the dream, you were on all the major talk shows and nighttime shows and all this stuff. And part of your act,
though, or an integral part of it is, I am your assistant, but I'm not just your assistant.
I'm not like teller to pen or, you know, one of those kind of partnerships on stage.
I'm the old school. I'm sorry, I should have mentioned this. I'm a lady in this dream.
Okay. Okay. And I've got the full on like little short like Rockettes dancer uniform assistant days.
Oh, please tell me you've got like a headdress. Oh, not, not a headdress.
Oh, not a headdress, but a top hat, like an oversized top hat.
Oh, yeah. Oh, do you look like Zatana?
Yes. Yes. That character, the DC character, Zatana, I look like her.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
That's funny you mention her. I just read her in a thing, a story. Anyway, she, so I look like this, and I'm this lady, and I don't know my name in there that we never talk about names. So you're not like the wonderful Bibit or anything. There's no names.
You're my beautiful assistant. They never have a name.
right so in the dream you it's great because you're having all the success and everything
and it was almost like a montage of this dream it was just like one after another and we're on
stage and there's almost like music behind us and we're showing off all this stuff
oh my god please tell me it was either uh hocus pocus by focus or magic by pilot was the
montage music that's the funny thing is i have zero memory of the music but i would have like
I would have liked maybe Blur's, what's the song number two?
The only song you know by Blur?
Yeah, that one.
The one that they used for all the trailers in the 80 or 90s.
I think, okay, Hammond and I need to do Blur for soundography and make you listen to that episode so you can realize that they had a bunch of great songs that weren't that song number two.
How about the guys that do?
Uh-da-da-da-me-me-rest, the best.
There's a something in the sky.
those guys the cover not the original but the the spirit of the sky is what you're talking about
yeah how's it go yeah norman greenbaum spirit in the sky uh doctor and the medics did a cover of that's who it is
who it was the popular 80s one is that doctor in the medics doctor and the medics what else did they do
nothing else nothing nothing okay so that one i'm okay i'm safe on that one all right yeah you can
use yeah use doctor in the medics as your one hit wonder i didn't even know their names all right
So anyway, this is where things turn weird in the dream.
Oh, this.
Yeah.
This is where things get a little odd.
We haven't gotten to that yet.
All right, good.
So I'm this lady going,
eh, me, getting cut in half and doing all the stupid stuff that you had,
you stereotypically see the lady assistant do.
We're going along with our little montage.
And at what point part of the thing was,
and I've seen this in some acts where you flip the script and say,
the amazing Brian is getting.
inside the box.
Sure.
And I, the beautiful female assistant,
am going to do the thing
that you would normally do to me.
So you got into a box,
and it was one of those cut you,
or no, it was one of those stab a million swords
into the box to make it look like
there's no way this didn't stab through them or whatever.
And most of the time when you see that trick,
there's like blood coming out the other side
to make it look like you've really stabbed through this person.
And at the end, you'd open to fling it open
and they're just fine, they made it through.
whatever after you take all the knives up. Sometimes it's even, you know, we push up the curtain,
the curtain drops. And I'm standing there and my beautiful assistant is now on the box.
Oh, right. Yeah. There's another twist on that. Well, in this particular case, we didn't get that far.
That may even been what the trick was supposed to be. But we didn't get that far because after I put
all the knives in and everybody in the audience is like, ooh, ah, ooh, whatever. Then I was like,
all right, now I'm going to take them all out. Shling, shling. All these big swords are covered in blood.
and then I pull them all out and I separate the box
and it's just your bloody punctured corpse
you're just dead
you're just laying all of a sudden this is the prestige
it didn't work the trick didn't work you were killed
and uh oh my gosh and i got like you know immediately like
keystone style cops that had Irish access
rushed to the stage and grabbed me
oh that'll be enough of that messier coming down to the station
with us kind of thing and uh that was it that was the dream
I killed you on stage at the height of your popularity.
You were just starting to hit the huge time.
You were going to beat David Blaine-level,
freaking monster hit, magic guy of all time.
And I killed you with our trick.
And then I got carted out to jail.
That was the dream.
What do you think of that?
What do you think that?
What do you think that all means?
Oh, my God.
It's, uh, it really did get dark, Scott.
I know.
What would you, how do you interpret it?
What do you think it means?
Yeah.
Uh,
you are word.
I don't know.
I was going to say you're worried that you're going to do something wrong.
And film sac basically will be three corpses in your soundboard is what's going to happen.
Three corpses in a soundboard is my new podcast coming out.
It's the new John C. DeVorek podcast that he's starting up.
Benji in the chat, or Benjin says, stop eating before bed.
I don't eat before bed.
I have this rule.
I don't eat past seven.
Once seven o'clock rolls around,
and that may change here and there in normal times,
but, you know,
because you go out with friends or something on a weekend or whatever.
But for the most part, I'm done.
Seven o'clock rolls around.
I have eaten all I'm going to eat.
I don't care if I'm starving at nine.
I'm just not going to eat.
So I don't think that's it unless this is a problem with me not eating enough before bed,
and this is my brain freaking out because it's feeling undernourish.
I don't think so.
That doesn't seem like a real.
That doesn't seem like a thing.
Like, you're not eating enough before bed.
Probably not.
Never.
Yeah.
Probably not.
You're probably right.
So, anyway, it's a weird thing.
Interpret away everybody.
I have no idea what it means.
But probably nothing.
It probably means nothing.
But the other thing is, even though you're like the main part of this act, I couldn't, well, actually, I don't think I did either.
I don't think, I think you and I were both mute the entire time of the entire dream.
Really?
Yeah.
Like we didn't say, and now, ladies and gentlemen.
It will be blah-blah-blah-da-da-da-ba.
No, it was almost like mime work.
We were like, kind of tell her sort of, just sort of doing it all and making faces and sticking
you in the box and holding up a sword and looking at it, but not saying anything, that was part
of this dream.
But also, it was a part of all of the dream, meaning in-between stuff.
Yeah.
Now it's hard to make sense of it, but at the time it all felt sort of real, but all anything.
We just didn't talk.
Not just to each other at all to anybody.
It was just like a silence, which makes no sense, given what we do every day.
It does seem odd, yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know what to make of it.
But maybe Bobby does.
So we're going to bring him in get a scientific opinion.
I like that, yes.
Bobby doesn't do any dream translation, but I don't know.
Maybe he could.
You never know.
I think science is cool.
I think science is cool as well, but it's cooler when we have Bobby Frankenberger on the show on Thursdays and we talk a little bit about science.
Bobby, welcome to the show. How are you?
I'm doing well. You know what I would like science to get figured out already?
What's that?
How to make Logitech G-Hub remember my damn setting.
All right. I have a...
Logitech G-Hub is... It's the worst.
It's pretty bad.
It is the worst. Sometimes you can't quit it.
Sometimes it just hangs.
Sometimes you can't open it unless you have it in the task bar and you right-click
and then open it instead of, I don't know, whatever.
I don't know what their problem is.
It doesn't seem like it should be that hard,
especially for a company who makes really great peripherals.
Like, they've made, I prefer Logitech mice to all other mice.
I've used them for as long as I can remember on everything from my oldest PCs
to my most current PC over here, to this Mac I'm using right now,
to everything I use that needs a mouse.
I use Logitech products.
Why they can't make a simple background.
utility work well.
Exactly.
Because they know hardware really well.
They don't know software.
Maybe they just don't know.
Maybe they're like, maybe there are actually people at Logitech sitting in their
cubicles, wringing their hands and pulling out their hair saying, I wish there was just
a way that we could save the profiles between user sessions.
Yeah, it has this way of like on my PC, I have that blue Yeti microphone that's got the
World Warcraft stuff on it.
and I really like it, but it loses,
I have this setting I like for streams and I set it there,
and I should be able to set it and forget it.
But if I reboot this PC, I got to go reset all that again.
And that shouldn't be the case, G Hub.
Shouldn't have to do that.
No, exactly.
Freaking sounds like a rapper anyway, G Hub.
G Hub.
Yo, yo, you, oh, G Hub.
Throw us some rhymes, G Hub.
Anyway, hey, Bobby, it's good to have you here.
We're not going to complain about G Hub or Logitech for very long here.
Instead, we're going to do a little bit of a follow-up.
Last week we talked about sort of, it was a little bit of a pre-show for the launch of,
wait, what's it called?
Not discovery.
Curiosity.
No.
Perseverance.
Curiosity is the one's already there.
Yeah.
I actually have a question about that, so we'll get that in a second.
But it was prior to that, you were going to do a live stream, which you did, and all this
stuff happened.
And by all measures, big success, right?
Everything happened the way it needed to happen.
Yes.
Thank goodness.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It landed safely.
No crashes, no, like, literal crashes, no software glitches.
Like, they got video back.
They got audio back.
They got all the stuff they wanted, right?
Like, no.
Well, they haven't gotten audio back, and we can talk about that if you want.
Oh, we should.
I thought we'd heard, like, a win, like a...
Ah, see, now, this is it.
Yeah.
All right, lay it on us.
Lay it on us.
No, it was a...
So almost right away before there were actual real HD images coming back,
there was a video that went around.
on social media, went viral
of the first
perseverance panoramic
view and audio from the surface
of Mars. And it was this
video of just panning through a
panoramic view and you heard wind on
the surface of Mars.
It also said curiosity on the
side of the photo, but anyway, keep going.
Exactly. So there's your first hint
that it's the wrong rover.
Because
the images, the panoramic, was
from curiosity. We hadn't even gotten
images from, I mean, it takes everything on Mars happens really slow. So we hadn't even
gotten like images from their main cameras yet from Perseverance before this thing went viral.
And that was from Curiosity. And the sound wasn't even sound from Curseverance does have a
microphone on it, but it hasn't been cranked up and it's not using it yet. But we have another
lander that landed on Mars some years ago called Insight.
And it was sent there to do seismic readings of looking for signs of earthquakes and geological stuff happening on Mars.
And some years ago, one of the scientists working on the Insight Project realized, oh, there's this weird sound coming from it.
Or this weird reading coming from it, this data coming in, and they realized that it was actually picking up seismic information from the metal case.
of insight being blown
by the wind and so they converted that into
sound and this was years ago right
a long time ago and so this got used and then
went viral and then everybody's like oh listen to
the cool new sound but none of it was real
it was just a fake freaking post
and I was immediately annoyed
I was so annoyed I'm like gosh dang it
we're even with science we're shitty at this
can we please stop with the stupid misinformation
just to get likes and hits and views
and stuff like can we just have the real
thing is it blame all the news outlets
too because they
just ran with it. They were like, oh, this is
amazing. And then they just
sent it to all the people.
Drives me crazy. It's a horrible
human foible. Okay, but here's the
thing. How do you know
unless something comes from NASA,
reliable NASA sources,
is anything else even worth following?
Like, who else can I trust?
Well, so this is a lesson
in modern
day, like being able to
tell what's fake and what's not.
you can't always be plugged into the primary source all the time, right?
Because, well, NASA's, they've got a PR department.
But what they're there to do is the science that they do.
So they're not always trying to focus primarily on sending the news out to everybody.
So you do need to be able to rely on news sources for this information.
But when something comes out, like always just kind of read through it and see if it sounds plausible.
And then go back and if it's a reputable news source,
they're going to have their sources in the article.
And if they don't have any, then there's a chance that maybe,
if the sources they have listed are just a tweet,
then you want to take that worth, you know,
a grain of salt and be a little skeptical about it.
A grain of Mars sand is what you should take.
That's right.
Exactly.
Okay, so clearly.
I hope this photo that you put in our chat, by the way.
I'm going to share that.
Yeah, I put it up there because that's all that we have right now.
That's amazing. I'm like zoomed in. I'm looking for Matt Damon somewhere in here.
That is the real panoramic view that we did get just a couple days ago from Perseverance.
It is the HD, the first HD picture from Perseverance that is very high definition and pretty cool.
There it is. So you can see him. He's way, Brian, way over there in the middle. He's pooping on a potato. Look.
It's right there, yes.
That's awesome.
But it is, it is interesting how you look at this and say, yeah, this could.
this could be a place on Earth, right?
I mean, there's nothing here that doesn't look like
a dirty, dusty, deserty section of Earth.
Well, that's funny, but you say that
because the other thing I wanted to talk to Bobby about is
there are rampant rumors around the conspiracy world,
a big, big shock there,
that this was filmed in my very own Utah desert.
Really?
Yeah, that the entire landing,
because they've got video of like it landing,
the underside, the dirt getting kicked up, all that stuff.
They're like, they did that in Moab or whatever.
What's going to be enough for these people?
Like, do they need to go there and see it?
Well, that's the thing, Brian.
I think that's what you have to kind of accept and understand is that probably there won't be enough.
Yeah, there'll never be, there won't be enough for.
Yeah, there's a saying that I really like.
It's one of my favorite sayings I repeat it all the time.
I will again now, which is, it's a paraphrased thing.
It's a, it's that you can't, you cannot reason someone out of a belief that they did not reason themselves into.
And, and that's kind of where people are with a lot of this stuff.
There's, we could talk forever.
You've talked about it with Wendy a bunch of times about where these kinds of beliefs come from.
But you just, bottom line is that people are going to believe what they're going to believe when it comes to that kind of stuff.
And you just got to be like, okay.
You do you.
Sure.
And we'll do science.
Well, plus we tend to take advantage of those people in other ways.
Like those monoliths, the monolith that showed up in southern Utah and then later copycat one showed up in other places.
Like there's a good example of somebody just stoking that instinct in people, you know, just saying, well, if it's mysterious enough and remote enough and just weird and random enough, then somebody somewhere is going to go, ooh, that must be a thing.
because how it's too it can't be a coincidence you know like they start to yeah like you said
reasoned themselves into that corner and i hate when we i hate when we perpetuate it more
because there are people just doing this stuff for the lulls somebody posted that audio
combination panoramic thing and then said knowingly said oh this is from the new thing and
knew it wasn't but why did they do it they did it to either get a rise out of people they did
it for the lulls they did it for the clicks they did it for the views and we gave them exactly
what would they freaking want it?
So all of their little base human needs got all those boxes got ticked.
And now we're all ticked because we fell for it.
And it drives me freaking nuts.
So I'm going to just go straight to NASA sources when I can on this stuff.
I don't want to be fooled into thinking I'm hearing.
Because, I mean, look, you can't blame people for the excitement of like, no way we have sound.
Oh, my gosh.
I want to hear what another planet sounds like.
Let's hear this wind.
Let's hear this stuff.
And that's such an exciting thing, right?
but we got to stop doing this to each other.
What are we doing?
Yeah.
Part of it, but also it to me sort of highlights why it's so important to send these rovers to Mars
and to get these really good images back because you looked at the picture, Brian,
and you thought it looks like you could easily convince someone that this was taken in the Utah Desert.
And we don't think about it's another planet, right?
It seems so foreign and exotic to us.
And we don't think about the fact that it actually, apparently, is a pretty familiar-looking place.
And so the more we can look at it, the more we can learn about it, and the more we can experience, the more we understand and get a realistic idea of what's going on there.
Yeah, that's the whole point.
That's a really good thing.
Yeah, the whole point is to take our quote-unquote curiosity.
and uh parlay that into knowledge so let's get out there and get soil samples let's see if we can
actually find water that isn't just trace amounts of you know molecular whatever in the in the soil let's
get actual yeah yeah you know all the things that we keep pining for and now getting to do it
with technologies that allow for albeit slow to get back to us but nonetheless HD video and
apparently sound when we want it when that when they decided to fire that up or whatever like
all of these things are so rad and so red and so
cool. It's just easy for people to get too out far ahead of it and go, you see that up there
on that panoramic view up on that mountain up there. I think I see a man. I think there's a man on Mars.
Well, yesterday we had the American Airlines flight that saw something cylindrical fly over
their plane in New Mexico, North Eastern New Mexico. Great. New Mexico, of course, is where
that happens. Of course, New Mexico. That's fantastic.
Anybody to get shots of that and kind of a...
Surprisingly no.
Weird. Weird.
But the pilot's the one who reported it.
It wasn't like somebody on the plane saying there's a gremlin on the wing.
You'd think if there were aliens visiting Earth that we, with the advent of smartphones,
would have so much more evidence.
You would think, yes, exactly.
I just think this concept...
No one seems to ever have their smartphone handy when this happens.
Like, if we, let's say we, let's just say,
You know, because that science fiction is for, it's for us to explore these concepts and ideas and have fun with them and whatever and entertain ourselves, scare ourselves, whatever.
But let's say that that rover's riding around and in a week from now, we get video back.
It ran into a small mud hut village full of one-eyed weirdos, okay?
Let's say that that happened.
Let's say that we actually happened.
We actually saw it.
It was like, oh, life on Mars.
You just immediately go to the fact that they're weirdos.
Look at you with your xenophobia, just in full view.
stay on your own damn planet
go back to your own planet
but like if we did
that and saw that
I tried to think about
okay well then we're the aliens
you know in another context
where are the aliens visiting them
would we be all mysterious and only
be a slight flash in the sky once in a while
and would we only be ooh I'm pretty sure
there was a bright light over Texas today
I think that was a UFO like how
would we be perceived
it wouldn't be so cryptic it would just be
oh look at that rover
or there's a crawling rover
and even if they don't know how to define it
maybe they're very primitive
they just see it and go
ah they would start to see it as like
some kind of walker god or
you know I don't know what they'd do
but that fascinates me
right because we always think that
whenever we think we're seeing aliens here
it's always always like
Bigfoot can't see shit
I know I know I was probed
how do you know I just know it
my butt holes three inches bigger than it was when I came here
you know, this sort of thing.
Anyway.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you want to know, first of all,
did we go down a rabbit hole far enough for you?
There Robbie fish us out.
Three inch wide or rabbit hole, yes.
So if you do start hearing things coming from Mars
about what we've gone and found and everything in the next month or so,
know that that's probably not like if we,
The rover's not going anywhere for about 60 days.
Everything happens slow on Mars.
The first thing that they're going to do on Mars is actually test the first helicopter on Mars, ingenuity.
Did you know that they have a helicopter on Mars now?
I did.
It's how they got the long shot on that thing dropping, right?
It was like a...
No, the helicopter is not out yet.
Oh, what am I thinking of then?
There's a satellite or something then.
It's what I'm thinking.
The helicopter drops this summer like it's supposed.
subscribe.
It's,
yeah,
it's satellite images
is how they saw
it falling in that
that's right,
because they've got
some orbiter
around that planet.
Yeah,
there's a couple of them.
Yeah,
I think that stuff's so cool.
Like,
if anything,
what it tells,
like the things that are making
people go,
I could do that in the desert,
are the things to me
that make me go,
man,
it's not,
you know,
like it's,
it's dirt of another place,
a whole other place,
but it's dirt,
that didn't come from here, at least not in a last few billion years sort of way.
Maybe ultimately at the biggest bang, perhaps we all came from the same dirt.
But the point is that, like, it is recognizable matter.
And it is an atmosphere, although thin, but still you see it and go, yeah, okay, it's relatable in some ways to me.
This isn't so foreign.
It's not like landing on a planet in no man sky and going, these aliens have eight penises.
Like, it's not happening that way.
I don't know.
You don't have, like, giant mushrooms coming out of the ground and stuff like that.
Right, right, which would be cool.
Don't get me wrong, but...
It would be cool in its own right.
But you're right.
It is one of the such exciting things about it is it is so familiar.
Right.
And that raises the opportunities and the chances that we could really learn something about ourselves from there and what life is like and how similar or different it might be in other parts of the solar system or galaxy.
and universe, you know, larger still.
So it's very exciting.
It is very exciting.
Now, here's one thing I know.
There is a podcast that exists on this planet and maybe on Mars.
I don't know.
I don't want to speak to it, but it's called All Around Science.
And I know a guy who hosted.
His name is Bobby Frankenberger.
And he's right here.
So Bobby, tell us more about your podcast and why that's a great place to get good facts on things

We're going back.
We're taking a time machine trip back to 1976 for today's Coverville.
Going back to February 25th, 1976, that's what, like 45 years ago or something?
I don't know.
Yes, it is.
To see what the biggest hits on the billboard charts were.
stuff that stuff that you love like
take you to the limit by the Eagles
Love Hertz by Nazareth
Love to Love You Baby by Donna Summer
and Love Machine by the Miracles
but we're not going to listen to any of those versions
you silly people
We're going to listen to covers because that's what we do on Coverville
Coverville.com Twitch.tv.tv.tv slash coverville
is where you go to listen to it.
1 p.m. Mountain Time at what I said,
twitch.tv slash Coverville.
I can tell you again.
Pay attention.
Yeah, it's fine.
Look, you guys didn't write it down.
Now's your chance to remember.
That's right.
It should be a fun one.
A lot of interesting stuff in 1976.
Sack Butagon in the chat says he used my childhood fear noises.
He doesn't like it when I play this old school stuff.
Like, he probably doesn't like this.
I totally dig that.
What's the other one?
Oh, why is it?
This one.
All of those probably freak him out.
That's fun. I'm glad.
Yeah, I like that. It's totally fine.
Yeah, I love it.
The blonde country chick, yeah, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry did really, really well.
Bo Bice.
Bo Bice was actually the winner that season.
What about Jennifer Hudson?
She got an Oscar.
Oh, at least Oscar.
Right, right.
She did pretty well.
She didn't know what she's doing now.
She wasn't an American Idol winner.
I think the winners don't do as well as the runners up.
The runners up.
Yeah.
But that year, or sorry, the.
for the Kelly Clarkson, she did pretty good.
She was like the exception of the rule.
It was her and Justin Guarini.
Side Show Bob.
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
Here's some news.
Yes, please.
Some breaking news.
I love this story, too.
Well, I don't love this story.
It's a little sad.
I know what you mean, though.
It points to a big problem that we need to stop.
Yeah, we need to quit doing these.
So here's an example of why.
A gender reveal device exploded.
I hate gender reveal parties.
This ended up killing.
the dad who was going to be the father of this little kid.
What a waste.
Christopher...
That's horrible.
Christopher Penh-Pekney, age 28,
was assembling the device in the town of Liberty
when it exploded just before noon on Sunday.
This, by the way, happened in...
This was in the UK, I think, right?
Oh, I thought it was in New York.
No, you're right.
You're right.
You're right.
It's a new Amsterdam.
Just kidding.
It's funny because it's from the BBC.com
under their world U.S. Canada news.
So it could have been...
It is weird.
We've got several places covered in that.
Plus later they talk about the California fires
and how some of that was sparked by these.
They're kind of all over the place.
But anyway,
the police said the blast killed Mr. Penke.
Penske, how do you say it?
Peckney.
And entered his brother Michael, age 27,
who was taken to the hospital.
Gender reveal parties are celebrations
announcing whether expected parents
are going to have a boy or a girl.
Police have not specified
what device caused Sunday's explosion.
New York State Police Department and its bomb disposal unit are investigating the incident.
Spokesman for the state police told in New York, New York Times that the device consisted of some kind of pipe, without giving further details.
Well, that to me sounds like a pipe bomb.
Pipe bomb.
Yeah, that's how I would translate that.
Pipe bomb.
Yep.
Pipe bomb?
Not a pipe bomb?
It says, speaking to the newspaper, his oldest brother, Peter, described what happened as the freakiest of freak accidents I could ever imagine.
He did not know what had set off the explosion.
The death is the latest in a string of catastrophes to be linked to gender reveal parties in recent years.
They can include prediction games and the big reveal being made with fireworks and colored smoke grenades.
My favorite thing when this happens, or my favorite thing I hear about what happens is they'll go through all this rigomerole.
Even if it's a safe one, it's a balloon full of blue paint or whatever.
Like whatever they're doing, they pop it and they go, oh, it's a boy.
and then I heard
there's a case where
they just straight up had a girl
like
after all that
the gender reveal was wrong
yeah they got it wrong
like what a waste of your time
and by and by doing that
everyone's gifts were boy related
everything was like you know
blue everything and whatever
I just don't know why it has to be
why you know
it has to be anyone outside the family
like it doesn't have to be a big
explosive
announcement that gets
likes on YouTube. Just, you know, have the family over. Oh, my sister made us a cake. She's been in touch
with the doctor. Whatever the color of the cake inside is, is the gender of our baby. And that's all
it needs to be. Good enough. That's what the first one was. Yes. And if it needs to be that,
even if it needs to, if you need to even go that far, that's plenty. Like, we didn't even do that.
We were just like. It doesn't need to be video, so you can, well, I mean, video it, sure, but it doesn't
need to be publicly shared. Share it on your little family group, Facebook group or whatever.
And our doctor told us, we just called people and said, hey, we're having a boy.
The third one's a boy.
We're done.
Yeah, exactly.
No party.
There's a great podcast that I am pulling up right now because it is so good, but I can never remember the name of it.
Decoder Ring, I believe, is what it is.
And back in November of 2019, they had an episode about gender reveal parties where they interviewed the woman who did the very first one.
And she's like, yeah, I really regret starting this.
I think it's become such a bad idea.
And it even goes into how these things in a, in the society we're in now are becoming less and less relevant because, all right, you're born this gender, but maybe you're not, maybe that's not, um, yeah, what your sex is.
If the stem's on the apple, great.
If you got the Vaj, great.
The point is, sex and gender, like, here's a.
the other thing. I got a friend named Tanya
in high school. His name was
Tony. She is now Tanya.
She transitioned. Okay?
Presents as a woman now, has had a ton of surgeries,
does all the things, like the full
gamut of transition.
She is a she,
right? If they had a had
an explosive freaking gender party,
what would that do? I mean,
why, why even bother?
And thank you for the correction.
That's what I meant to say is
you're not born with a gender. You're
born with either a penis or vagina, but the gender.
Yeah, you got a, you got a Pedro or a Virginia, or sometimes both.
You know what?
That's right.
Some kids come out with just a flat, flat nothing there because something got effed up in the,
in the, in the works.
And you got nothing.
You know what I mean?
I think that's a Ken doll, Scott.
I think, uh, I think something, I mean, I'm sure there's some case of somebody coming out
without anything.
That's happened, right?
Yes, exactly.
So, anyway.
The point is, like, stop doing it.
It's so dumb.
Yeah.
If you can do it, do it, you know, do it quite a little affair.
It doesn't have to be a dangerous life-threatening, in this case, life-ending, mishap potential business.
This is how I feel.
Could you come up with the last word of my sentence, damn it?
Business is always good.
It's a good insert.
Business.
This is how I feel about prom day dates.
We've talked about this before.
Yeah.
Or prom proposals.
Promposals.
Yeah.
I hate it.
I hate it.
It drives me crazy.
So quit doing it, everybody.
Yeah.
Just big deal.
So your son has a penis.
So your daughter has a Vajee.
So they've got both.
So you've got a bunch of blue paint and you get rid of.
Whatever.
Just stop doing it.
And this guy would be alive.
He'd be alive.
Now this little kid, regardless of sex and or gender, has no dad.
That's lame.
It's lame.
All right.
It is sad and lame.
Laman's sad at the same time.
It's lad.
All right.
Here's a story about a British Columbia man.
Okay? Yes.
It says BC farmer.
I don't think they mean before Christ.
Like, you know, we're not talking like caveman here.
What I'd like to know is like back in those days when they were talking like BC,
how did they know what they were counting down to?
Like they said, all right, we're in 27 BC.
Next year will be 26 BC.
What's going to happen at zero, man?
And what was the ball made out of then?
Was it a rock?
What was it?
Right.
Anyway, BC Farmer.
BC Farmer.
British Columbia.
He's in Northern British Columbia.
These guys are pretty tough as nails type farmer dudes.
Sure.
This guy's proof of that.
He grabbed a lynx by the scruff of its neck.
This is a dangerous wildcat.
Okay.
And scolded it for killing his chickens.
He didn't even say sorry.
He just said, hey, no.
You done killed my chickens.
What are you doing, eh?
The farmer in northern British Columbia
caught a lynx in his chicken coop on Sunday
did not react the way one might expect.
He didn't grab a gun or yell at the wild animal.
Instead, Chris Paulson
grabbed the links by the scruff of the neck,
lifted it off the ground, and scooped it from the coop.
He then gave it a gentle scolding.
He says, where is it saying?
A gentle scolding, not even a, wow.
The words he uses, he says,
I just looked a bit like a kid with a hand on the chocolate chip bag, he says.
He told the CBC in his home in Decker Lake west of Prince George.
So I gave him a little lecture.
I don't know why he's Irish.
Gave him a little lecture and then told him he shouldn't come back here to my chicken coop.
That was it.
And there's a photo of this, by the way.
Oh, is there?
Wait, is it a dramatic recreation or?
No, it's an actual.
Oh, he actually, like, pulled out his phone and, see, now this is a good use of social.
I agree.
This is what we...
Skulled the Lynx and then take a selfie with it.
Yeah.
But look at that.
That is like a serious ass cat.
The Lynx does, and the links does look a little regretful.
He looks embarrassed, right?
He doesn't want to go back and tell the links, the rest of the links is what happened.
Sorry, I know.
This is bad.
This is your chickens.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
If you'll point me to some rabbits, I'll go find them, okay?
Tell me where the rabbits are.
The farm up the road.
I could do them. Instead, I'll just not come get your chickens anymore. Okay. Sorry about that.
Yeah, he looks like a very sorry cat, but I'm telling you this right now. A lynx will tear your guts apart.
This guy didn't seem to care. So there's that. Wow. Yeah. There's scary cats, man. Wildcats will.
Yeah. Yeah. Rip you. Which, which Apple release was Links. I don't know, but it was a, it was a rough one, man.
Did they do links? I don't remember. Did they do that cat? I don't remember if they did.
they did all the cats
was all on. Panther
Cheetah
yeah
Cheetah
um
uh
snow leopard
leopard
right
jaguar
jaguar
I think they didn't do links
oh it's too bad
they missed out
maybe that's because there's a car
called the links
David lion
yeah no
it was rumored
that 109 was going to be
links but it wasn't
yeah they switched it
over to California
bullshit. Yeah, mountains or
whatever, yeah. Yeah, which is fine.
It's fine. Totally fine.
Moving on.
Here's, oh, this is great.
So a Kiwi Nunn, meaning a
nun from New Zealand, you know, they call
themselves Kiwi Nunn.
Kiwi Nunn. Yeah. Kiwi Nunn.
You know, don't...
I've got some theories about who this
Kiwi Nunn is.
They don't left a message on 8chan last night.
I'm pretty sure.
I'm trying to find out the identities of Kiwi Nunn.
Well, Kiwi Nunn, sister Anne Marie, she breached COVID restrictions in Ireland.
Oh, here, now you can use that accent.
Yeah, I can use that one now.
To attend an exorcism, you still do them there in Ireland, do you?
The New Zealand-born Nunn has been caught breaching COVID-19 restrictions in Ireland to attend this exorcism.
The Irish Examiner report, Sister Anne-Marie was owned of a pair of nuns,
who broke COVID guidelines to attend this exorcism
of the doll before Christmas?
Dale?
Dale?
D-A-I-L and there's an accent over the A.
Claire Gack, help us out.
D-A-I-L.
D-A-I-L.
I have no idea.
The dial before Christmas.
The dial before Christmas.
Well, no, we know how to spell it.
We see it here, Claire.
You don't have to give us a...
We were all sitting about it.
She just retypes it.
Like, do it.
a pronunciation guide for us.
What is a tree?
Tree.
Tree.
T-R-E.
T-R-E-E.
It is pronounced Dale.
Okay.
Oh, so she's just saying Dale.
First saying D-A-I-L was telling us, yeah, it's pronounced Dale.
Twas the Dale before Christmas and all through that house.
Not a monkey was stirring.
I couldn't find me blouse.
I don't know how that goes.
The cork-based sisters, they were made of cork.
I don't know if you've seen cork board.
They're made of Kiwi.
Now, this is all getting a little confusing.
Yeah, it says cork-based.
Whatever.
Attended the exorcism in Dublin on December 8th at the time of the inter-county travel was banned.
Video has appeared online, which shows the exorcism and a subsequent mass in Herbert Park, South Dublin.
Mother Irene Gibson of a group called the Carmelite.

Already on the run.

Hit us with that last sentence, Scott.
Okay, here you go.
The Irish Times earlier reported Sister Amory,
formerly of Hannah Lohman and Wingarguunee,
professed her vows of obedience,
chastity, and poverty in May of 2019
and became a Carmen-like nun in the holy face of Jesus.
Nice.
There you go.

Yeah, I mean, basically, I get all the games, and then if I score higher, then other people in my bracket, you know, I'm also, I'm also would be in the rookie bracket since this would be my first year, then there are prizes and things like that, but.
Interesting.
Yeah, so all events as a competitor, including Friday 240, all events as a competitor beginning Saturday morning, 190, and I probably.
I might, I don't know, I'd probably do, I'll have to figure it out.
Yeah.
I want you to stream it.
I mean, you playing it.
Yeah, no, I think I, I would actually love to do that, right?
And basically I would turn off the chat because I don't want any accusations of,
oh, he saw somebody posted the answer to 23 across in chat.
He's cheating.
Yeah.
So basically I would do this completely.
How would they, how would you do that though without them?
There is no way for them to know that you're not looking answers up and...
Yeah, they wouldn't...
Who is the prime minister of Ghana?
Yeah.
What none belongs to the holy face of Jesus?
That's right, exactly.
Sister Anne-Marie.
All right.
Anyway, so I'm looking forward to trying it out and seeing how I do.
Well, try out these rum-soaked raisins as well because...
Yes, I'll try that for sure.
Lucia DeClerich, who has now lived to be 105.
She says she has a quick answer for why she survived.
They left this out of the headline, but she says, prayer, prayer, prayer.
And then she says, one step at a time and no junk food.
Well, I'm out.
But surviving the coronavirus, she said, also may have something to do with another single staple of her life.
The nine gin-soaked golden raisin she has eaten each morning for most of her life.
She eats nine a day.
I like this.
This keeps your regular, man.
It'll keep your poo flowing.
It's supposed to help with arthritis.
Oh.
Well, she's got some knuckily nucks.
She probably could use them.
My mom, dude, she's had some kind of, some form of early arthritis and she was like 38 or something.
And to look at her hands, you wouldn't even know.
I mean, they're just, they're alien claws.
She has such story.
Really?
They don't hurt her anymore, which is weird.
I love this.
Like, this is a whole different article.
that September 7th, 2020
came out, but it basically has that recipe.
Place a box of golden raisins
into a shallow container.
Cover the raisins with gin.
Let the raisins soak in the gin for a few weeks
until the gin evaporates.
The raisins won't dry up, but will stay moist
just like normal raisins.
Eat nine of these drunken raisins a day
to help your arthritis.
Really?
Yeah.
Huh.
Well, that's pretty interesting.
Yeah, I kind of like this.
She goes, she fills a jar,
nine raisins a day.
It sits for nine days, she says.
Her children and grandchildren recall the ritual of just one of Mrs. DeClerc's endearing lifelong habits like drinking aloe juice straight from the container and brushing her teeth with baking soda.
That worked too.
She did not have a cavity until she was 99.
What?
Wow.
Well, I'm way off that track.
What?
What?
We, uh, all right, I'm going to try this.
Okay.
Will you do it?
Seriously, you should do it.
I'll totally do it.
I'll totally do it.
All right.
Yeah, you don't get drunk.
The alcohol evaporates, so there's not, I'm not going to get drunk from nine raisins a day.
But what the heck?
Yeah, it'd be fine.
Well, is it just arthritis, that's it?
Is there anything else that's supposed to help?
I mean, I guess it's supposed to make me live to 105.
It'll give you good, um, it's good fiber.
So you're going to have good regularity.
Yeah, this is true.
Yeah.
Um, do I keep it, well, I guess I keep it sealed when I'm not eating my nine.
Right.
I guess, I'm guessing there's a kid, uh,
kid that just arrived.
Yeah, sorry, just waiting at the boy.
Hi, buddy, you're the one that gave me this cold.
How were you?
Now he's all embarrassed.
Want it back?
Yeah, you want that cold again?
You want the mutated version?
Here it is.
Well, anyway, if you do that, we'll do them on the show, and that would be a hoot.
I would love that.
Let's watch that.
My nine raisins.
Yep, get your nine raisins.
I'll start, I'll go pick up some golden raisins today.
We'll start in then a couple weeks when they're good and plump.
So, wait, what's a golden raisin?
it's one of those that's golden colored as opposed to
dark brown or purple shrively
are they from they're from white grapes probably right
probably yeah i want you to do me a favor buddy
look at that kid's hair i know he's got a lot of hair now
usually he's the one that hits your microphone are you ready say
say so
oh he's not going to do it say you are so
you are so cute you are so cute
I know you are, buddy.
You're so cute.
All right.
I'll see you guys in a bit.
I didn't know we were going to see him today.
Where was I?
Oh, yeah.
He's lateral for the refi.
Yeah.
So she's not dead, is the point.
This lady lived.
She's not dead and she attributes it to prayer and trunken raisins.
Yeah.
Loose raisins.
All right.
We are going to take our leave.
Like I mentioned earlier, we have to sign a thing today, so I will, we have to end a little early.
But Wendy, we'll be here next week, so don't worry about her.
And also, we will have trivial things next week with our good pal Gidget.
So that'll happen.
And lots of other stuff going on this weekend.
There is a film sack this weekend, a trium for return after a week off.
We got, um, virtuosity.
Right.
Some horrible 90s interpretation of tech and future tech and VR and stuff like that should be awful.
very excited about it. Never saw it. So this will be new to me.
What else? The instance tomorrow is happening. We have a PM plan for 2.30 tomorrow and the PM is our play date.
So that means all of you can come and watch and play and hang out. We're going to be playing among us.
So who will be suspect? I think it was yellow. It was yellow. It's time to break out the use of the word sus.
Break it out, dust it off. Get ready for some among us. That's tomorrow right here.

Don't forget our mashup.
Oh, we don't have one today, do we?
The South.
Shit, we have to play this.
I can't believe I almost didn't play this.
I know.
It's highlighted in red even.
In my head, I'm like, we're done with these.
No, we're not.
We have the accent finale.
This is the big one, too.
the one that's going to get me in trouble so yeah we're both busted here's here's the one
about the south so we didn't just do a bunch of international accents on the show over all these
years we also made fun of ourselves and by that i mean the southern states so that's right exactly
and by ourselves we mean uh states far away from us exactly um drenched wildfire says racist
mashup yay oh i don't know about racist stereotypes yes but uh unless we're unless unless unless unless
Unless what you envision as white hillbillism as racist, then sure, I suppose.
But here it is.
Enjoy.
See you on the other side.
I put an extra bullet in the hard drive.
That's where I keep all my porn.
I don't need all your book learning.
F that.
I got my gun on the dog.
Exactly.
Oh, you're what you're saying.
It's okay to kill 50 dudes on screen, but you can't have a booby.
If we take care of ourselves.
Yeah.
You put yourself in a good place physically.
You might be just fine.
Do you read the paper?
I think they found your foot.
I ain't doing that.
Didn't you hear what's your name?
Get on the TV and tell everybody,
vaccinations are giving you government blood?
Everything's too gay for him.
I do.
I see some boobs while I spoke by pop.
Yeah.
Ain't nobody got time for that.
There's a blue circle in that water,
if you know what I'm saying.
We don't give no handouts.
Y'all got to pull up your bootstraps and do it from fresh hell.
I'm glad you found that.
That's quite the fun.
When the meth takes me,
it makes me dance naked on the Waffle House tables,
I will not be afraid.
The next time I take bath.
and I go outside and expose my sexual organs.
I will not be afraid.
I got a gun and I ate your cat.
Stub and by it.
Oh, there you go.
Look at all them comers.
Look, dick, there, damn.
I got over to Bill Dover's house and get some truck parts.
Everything just heat up on stove.
Heat up on stove and then you go, uh, y'all want to just put it in your armpit and
heat it up after a day or so.
Y'all want to eat.

But you know be a much better idea
Yeah we should shoot that shit
That's right
Let's take it out
Bad, Billy.
Bill, you got anything else that you want to throw away?
We can fill up.
So many Southern listeners are mad at us right now.
I'm sure they are.
We love the South.
I married a girl from Mississippi.
Yeah, you don't.
You don't see.
Well, Muffy, I think I'm going to take the lawnmower out back.
Fill it with tan ride and then shoot it in a wooded hairy.
No, you don't.
That wouldn't be the voice you'd use.
No.
Brian made my point better than I could.
This is why we're using that voice.
All right, that was pretty great.
All right, I will argue that, that our southern accents are way more varied.
Like, I'm doing Matthew McConaughey in one of those.
We're doing like, yeah, we go all over the place.
Justin Wilson.
I agree.
It was a nice.
Skeeter.
Selection of Southern hospitality.
All right?
That's exactly.
Well done, everybody.
And thank you for the reminder.
I would have screwed that up.
I would have been pissed.
I didn't hear that.
All right.
Well done.
That's it.
The cable guy just wrote and said, oh, that's a real good mash up there.
I don't know.
Did a real good job.
Glad you like that.
Yeah, we're glad to.
We're out of here.
That's it.
Thanks, everybody, for everything.
We'll be back again, like I said, tomorrow.
Back Monday, of course, with regular shows.
And all sorts of stuff in between.
So just check out the feeds and the mega feed and the site and the Twitters and whatnot.
All right.
I think that's it.
Brian, do you want to take us out with musical selection?
song? I will do
exactly that. Sean Dickinson
wrote in and said, hey there,
Scotch and Bourbon, don't forget the gin.
This year, I'm financially having to
do the quarantine birthday thing on February
finally, not financially.
I was like, that didn't make sense. This year,
I'm finally having to do the quarantine
birthday thing on February 27th. Last
year, I got to actually have a party
before the lockdown, but this year I just have
to enjoy it with my fiance.
I always loved ELO and
Mr. Blue Sky always makes me feel good.
I hope you both have a wonderful day
signed Sean Dickinson.
Dude, it's my favorite
yellow song as well.
And I think it's my favorite
Marvel, like my favorite
MCU moment is
the beginning of Guardians of the Galaxy
Volume 2 with
Groot dancing to this
as the gang fights
some evil big space
creature. I think it's my favorite
segment. It's really good. Sequence.
Anyway,
I think Lily Allen
likes it too because she recorded this
both for her fan club and for
the BBC Radio 1.
We're going to play her fan club release. This came on
2007. I'm pretty sure
this is produced by Greg Kirsten,
half of The Bird and the Bee. It just
sounds like it's part of his
production style. Here's Lily Allen and her
cover of ELO's Mr.
Blue Sky.
The sun is shining in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's not raining
Everybody's in a play
And don't you know
