Uploading sperm to the moon with Bobby. Therapy Thursday and more on this episode of Not PM, the Morning, Stream. You see, down here they got heavy armor, so avoid that route if you can. Now here, they've only got troopers and landmaid suits, so this is the way to go now. Hey, where are you going? The bathroom. This is the morning stream. This is the morning stream. The morning stream. Good morning stream. Welcome to TMS. It is the morning stream for Thursday, March 18th, 2021. This is the day. We end our public broadcast for the week. However, if you're a patron, you get tomorrow's show, so I guess don't fret. It's good to be here. Brian is right there. I'm right here. I'm Scott. Hi, Brian. I'm Scott.

It's weird because I feel like I'm right here and you're right there. Oh. How is that possible? How can we both be here and there at the same time? Life comes at you fast. And if you're not fast, how's that it go? If you're not fast enough, it'll run over you. If you, yeah, let's see, life moves pretty fast.

If you don't get up in the morning. The movie's over. Yeah, get out of here. My girlfriend's super hot and Cameron's lame. The movie is over. I know the movie, Dice Tomato. We're trying to come up with a quote here. How's it going to go?

Right. Life moves pretty fast. It's definitely the beginning. I'm looking it up. Life moves pretty fast. Life moves pretty fast. And if you don't look around every once in a while, you might miss it. There it is.

I think that's it. And I found it before I finished Googling it. You got it. Well done. It just took, we needed a starter is what we needed. Like a little bit of helper there. That was like a cue card. We just needed a cue card.

So I typed life moves pretty fast. in Google, and first few things, it gives me a few YouTube links. Then it says, people also ask, who said life moves pretty fast? But here's the second one. When you stop and look around Ferris Bueller? What? Really? Yeah.

When you stop and look around Ferris Bueller, question mark. I don't like that. That sounds wrong. That sounds discordant. It really does. I kind of like this. I'm going to put it. I'm going to copy it and put it in chat.

Speaking of weird things on the internet, so I don't know how much you've been following this NFT thing, the non-fungible token. I just like saying fungible. That's about as much as I follow it. It's a pretty good time to say fungible, I think. It's a good word. But it's all the rage with the digital artists and the what-nots right now. Basically, it's blockchain-based identification of a digital file of, let's say, I don't know, like that O.B. Henry behind me. It could be a non-fungible token.

piece of art and I could sell it. But then you would not, right, but then it would cease to be yours at that point. Well, see, that's the weird thing about it is it doesn't because you can still infinitely copy that digital file. It's no different than any other copy of that file. It's just Yeah, but when somebody owns it, wouldn't that be

copyright infringement if somebody else? Nope. No, really? No. That's the weird. What's to stop you from selling multiple copies? I thought that was the whole point is that it was a one, a singular thing. You'd think, but nope. It is a, it is a, it is purely, and this is true when I'm about to tell you, 100% bragging rights, that's it.

Like whether or not you brag or not, that's not what I'm saying. But what I mean is, let's say you want to buy an Elon Musk tweet, okay? You can do this, by the way. So you can go take your Ethereum, hop on to one of these NFT sites, and you go and you say, all right, I want to buy this tweet that Elon Musk posted in 2017 about SpaceX. that day so uh i'm gonna buy that tweet and this stuff goes for in stupid amounts of money like 50 60 grand for some of this stuff yeah if you translate the money uh ethereum's like i don't know five five ethereum is like 50 grand or something now i don't know what it is but anyway you can go

buy his tweet now that doesn't mean that a million people can't quote the tweet copy the tweet screen cap the tweet well okay yeah right so it's like having the original monelisa versus reproductions of the Mona Lisa There's only one Mona Lisa Yes, the one difference is The one difference is there are 100% Copies of each other And whereas the Mona Lisa clearly is not a

One for one One where you see the paint marks and the Right So you get you get you know literally If you're going to sell a GIF or a JPEG Which people are doing Like somebody sold like the first rotating skull Uh

Animated GIF Yeah And it went for a whole bunch of money and um but but you know i could go right click that that gif on the page they're selling it with and download it and i have it it doesn't matter and there's no illegality about that or anything it's just somebody has somebody can say i'm the actual owner of the thing you guys are looking at they just can't do anything about other people using it no there's nothing they can do no it's just a that's thrown out the window just by the nature of the of the thing so it's

really weird and so I started digging into it because a bunch of my artist friends are doing it and I'm like well I could do this let's see what this is about so I start digging around in it I'm getting close I got to get some Ethereum into a bank account that's been a nightmare actually because getting it converted

has been weird you got to like right now my best method to do this is I got to go somewhere exchange cash like US cash slash you know US money I have to exchange for Bitcoin and then I got to convert Bitcoin into Ethereum, which is a whole other cryptocurrency.

Oh, that's funny. We can't even, like, go right from American dollars to Ethereum. We have to. Well, I tried, but it told me it wouldn't take it from. I tried two methods. One, it says, oh, we will take your debit card. We won't do an American Express, but we'll do debit cards. So I put my debit card in there, like, oh, we can't do that debit card.

I'm like, all right, well, what can you do? Then I tried to do a bank one and they're like, oh, we can't do credit unions. And I'm like, well, sure is a lot of shit you can't do. Can't, you know, what can you do? So right now it looks like I got to go, dollars, Bitcoin, Ethereum. And then here's the weird bit about Ethereum. It is in real time changing its value constantly by the nanosecond. Unlike, you know, the stock market, you're like, oh, well, today, this morning it was worth $5.

By the mid-afternoon, it was worth $5.50. This, I was in there trying to add money. it says, you're going to need to put $138 worth of Ethereum into this account. I went to do it. It said, nope, sorry, try it for method. Went to do the bank method. It says, you're going to have to put $212 worth of Ethereum. It's a constantly moving target.

It's like you're playing press your luck. You're slamming your plunger down and really hoping that you end up on the pool table and not on a whammy. Yeah. So by the time I got done, I had a third one that was back down below like 120 or something. Oh, wow. It was all over the place, and it just reminded me of just how hyper fast and hyper, it's just so different than like the analog world, right? It's just so different.

Anyway, the idea is, and I've had a few artists do this, artist friends of mine. I had an artist friend who put up an old digital piece of art he did years ago. That thing sold for 0.25 something Ethereum. Okay. Dude made, what is that? It's like $1,000. oh wow no kidding yeah and so what he did like someone in the chat says everyone's going to get burned well he isn't because here's what he does he sells the stuff makes the ethereum immediately

cashes the ethereum out in the u.s dollars doesn't hang on to the ethereum to see if it grows or whatever even though right now it's growing so it might it be a good time to hang on to it but but he cashes it out now he's got a thousand bucks as if he did a thousand dollar commission like it's not a bad way to go lens doing this few other people i know are doing this so i'm gonna try it, and we'll see what happens. I'll let you guys know. A little experiment here. I'm going to do some front and can original art, and we'll see, we'll see if it

sells. Boy, it really does throw you off though, Brian, because you go on the side, it'll say, this thing's 0.22 Ethereum. You're like, big deal. That's less than one Ethereum. Right. When you see the decimal points that your money is translating to, it just doesn't feel like it's, yeah, it's ridiculous.

Like people that sell something for five Ethereum, 20 grand, 30 grand, whatever it is. It's like a ridiculous amounts of money. But anyway, we're going to get, we're going to experiment with that because I just want to know what's up. I'm not, I'm not convinced it's 100% the future. And this idea that every single pixel on the internet can be sold, which basically is true, is just a concept. I need to, I need to fart around with my head more before I make a judgment call. But it's just all very odd. We're living in weird times, Brian, trying to keep up, trying to keep up.

Low T, low T, low T, all right, moving Low T, low T, keep it up. Popeye, Popeye. We'll just bit through all these. Speaking of Popeye, Popeye's currently owned by the Warner Brothers Corporation. You know what else is owned by the Warner Brothers Corporation. Nice, nice seglay. Would it be the Justice League?

Yeah, how about DC Comics and the Justice League and all the things that are there in? And that includes their movie efforts. And I wanted to do a quick Monday, or sorry, a quick Thursday morning DC roundup of news that just happened. It might be interesting to some folks. So with word on the street that the Snyder cut is good, okay, that's the word. I didn't see the first one.

The one that's being recut, I've never seen. So if it's actually good, good on me because I avoided the problem, I guess. And I'll just see the good one. So we'll see how that goes. But anyway, there is now a disclaimer at the front of that film that rolls. that rolls before it starts on a blue screen that says quote,

this film is presented in four by three format to preserve the integrity of Zach Snyder's creative vision, unquote. Right. So literally, I just want to make this clear. In 2021, Zach Snyder's remake or recut

of Freak and Justice League is not running widescreen. It's because of IMAX. I assume so, right? Yeah, right, because he, like, they filmed it for IMAX, but I don't know why they can't make a, a widescreen version of the IMAX, and why not say, you know, if you've got, I don't know, who's got a projector or some TV screen that is IMAX format at home. Right. Give us the home version, widescreen, and if you want to go to a theater in 2022, whenever we can. Yeah.

Otherwise, this is like us watching an episode. of Friends in 1995. Like, what are we doing? Yeah, exactly. Wait, the 95 was that too later, too early. I don't know when Friends started. I can remember that. The point is, four by three and a, I don't know, man, I'm bummed about this.

I'm bummed about that. So that's one thing. And then, you know, the Ryan Reynolds feller, he's cool. We like him and stuff. We do like him. Yes. He's the Deadpool and the whatnot. He's the Mint Mobile.

He's the Mint Mobile Pitchman is his new gig. Is that his, oh, no, I'm thinking a, he has a gin too, right? or something. He's like a soup. He has his own branded gin. I think so. Oh, yeah, there it is. Aviation. Aviation. Aviation. It makes you fly. I haven't tried it. I need to try it. I just dumped all my tink array into those raisins. I'm, I'm, we're trying the, I'm doing the raisins tomorrow. I'm not waiting anymore. Oh, my gosh. Three weeks. We've got to do it on the show, though. Okay.

Wait, should we do it on PM now or do it on a regular one? I could do it. I could do it. Hell, I'll do it now. I'll go get the damn raisins and now if you want. You know what we're going to do? We're going to get those. raisins. We're going to try him. All right. You go grab him. I'm going to tell people about this Ryan Reynolds thing. You keep going with the Ryan Reynolds story. All right. So here's the deal. Ryan Reynolds live tweeted his first ever viewing of his 2011 superhero bomb green lantern. And he did it

yesterday on St. Patrick's Day, which is pretty cool. So he is among the many, says this article, celebrating St. Patrick's Day on Wednesday with his favorite drink of choice. And that drink of choice is that thing he makes, aviation gin brand. The 44-year-old actress sat down and watched this 2011 superhero bomb Green Lantern, apparently, for the first time ever, to help celebrate both St. Patty's Day and the release of Zach Snyder's Justice League on Thursday. So that's today? Is that up now?

Could I go in there now and see it? I mean, I'm not saying, I'm not saying I'm in any hurry to see that, but could I? I mean, I mean, Kim, but to hear it's not widescreen, like, what are we doing here? What? What are we doing? Anyway, he says this. Reynolds has consistently bashed his own Green Lantern movie over the years, taking shots at it in the Deadpool movies and also on social media,

but it seems he's never watched the film in its entirety, which he did yesterday with the help of his own aviation gin brand. So he sat down, forced himself to watch it, and then did commentary via social media about it as he did it. I say, we salute you, Ryan. Reynolds. We do. All right.

Brian brought his booze raisins. Let's see these things. So now, you know, when I first did this, I didn't realize that they needed to soak for a few weeks to absorb all the gin. And that's really what's happened here. So we're looking at these golden raisins right here. Yeah. Yeah, look at those. Two scoes.

Golden raisins. And when I first did this at the beginning, at the end of February, um it was basically like a a thick stew with all of the raisins and and like an eighth of an inch or quarter of an inch of gin above the raisins there is no there's like a little bit of gin moisture still left in here and it's just gin no water no without it is nothing just gin yeah just gin and raisins two two ingredients in this uh in this thing and how's that smell is it smell fermented or boozy or um it smell it smells Fruity? Yeah, there's very little smell. There's more of a fruity smell, but even like it's just a faint fruity smell. When I first opened this,

there was kind of a of the gin smell, but keep in mind to get things evaporating, I've had the Tupperware on here kind of with a little bit of air to let the, because I didn't want it, I wanted it to, you know, to do what it's supposed to do.

Did you say maybe you did refrigerator or out in the open? No. Out in the open. Okay. Okay. Yeah. So I'm going to guess these are like super like moist, moist now.

They're like awesome little. Yeah. They look plumber than they did before. There's things I don't like. Like grape leaves that somehow ended up in the, yeah, that's going. Yeah. You don't want those little bits and bobs. And there may be a raisin.

I don't even want to look at those because they're like dark green. No. Well, let's give these a shot. With a lid, yes, Claire Gack, but the lid partially off. right so let's how we live our lives we're going to consume one of these right now so here's a nice big plump yeah i'm sure it was about a third the size before i put the gin in there yeah it's like a little testicle i like to eat okay go for it now we're going to try it yeah okay so uh-oh um it doesn't taste like a raisin okay and it doesn't taste like gin it tastes like

like detergent like if um great yeah maybe maybe it's a bad one there's what i'm supposed to have nine of these anyway so that's one oh okay wait why is it nine what's the i don't remember that it was in the news story the woman ate nine gin soaked raisins every day the old lady that lived to be a million yeah okay um hmm still still still kind of a detergenty first one very detergenty the subsequent ones it's weird they're like, um, they don't taste like raisins. I mean, they, they kind of taste, it's weird, like, like soapy grapes. Wow.

I mean, they probably get better as you go, but I wonder if that's the alcohol and not the actual taste of the thing getting better. I think I'm about six or seven right now. We'll just do the last three all in one go. Yeah. Let's give it all a shot. See if you live an extra day. Five.

Mm-hmm. Because that's the idea, right? One extra day. No arthritis. That's the deal. Wow. Wow. Guys, it's a miracle.

Amazing. Oh, yeah. So it might be the juniper, right? It's the juniper in the gin. Oh, I didn't know there was juniper and gin. That is, juniper berries are what gin gets its flavor from. Oh, I didn't know that. Those little tiny shriveled up light blue berries you find on juniper bushes.

Oh. I always thought those are poison. Maybe they are. They've got to be processed or something. Maybe, yeah. I mean, they probably give you. Poisonous to dogs. Everything is.

Yeah. Somebody told me the other day you could give a dog a raisin but not a grape. I don't understand. Right. Because of the choking hazard, I think. Oh, is that the reason? Okay. I always thought it was a toxic thing, but maybe.

Oh, no, no. We looked this up. I'm sorry, you're right. It was something in the skin. There was something in the grape skin that is toxic to dogs. Oh, interesting. There are some peanuts you can't. do because of the choking hazard, but grapes, I think it's because of the skin.

Yeah, you're going to choke on a penis. Peanut. You're going to choke on a peanut. Yes. Real quick. Oh, yeah, go ahead. Raisins and grapes are both toxic to dogs. So whoever told you, it's okay to give dogs raisins lied. Maybe I was a crazen. Maybe cranberries are okay for dogs. It could be. Because I do like a crazen. And I think the dog ate one when I dropped it on the floor and she's fine. But, but, uh, I, I, I was going to, a quick follow-up, I did the, um, the pineapple thing that someone suggested. So you give the, oh, yeah, right. You give one of the dogs some pineapple.

So they stop eating poop. Yeah. So the one dog stops eating its poop. And as best I can tell, I guess it sort of worked because she has, since then, it hasn't eaten any, but. Any poop since? It feels like empirical evidence. Like, I don't have, I don't feel like I have enough data yet. What you need to do is put, uh, put some poop in front of, in front of the dog.

Yeah. See how she goes. Yeah, I need a controlled experiment here, and I just don't have the time of the resources for it. But I just gave her... No, I'm going cold turdy. Yeah, there it is. I gave her some cold dirty. Yeah, yeah.

I know. Let's move on. Let's just let that, let it die. Let it die on the line. It's washing over me. It's like slow syrup running uphill, but I like it. It turns out I like it. But anyway, well, there's your gin berries.

We'll see if that affects Brian at all during today's show. I guess I would assume. I mean, next up, you could do prunes, you know? You could move up in your shriveled fruit category. Right. Oh, and just really help me poop. Yeah. I mean, I'm guessing that that's the, that raisins do that just as well as prunes do, right?

Any dried fruit? I would assume. You always hear that that's the prune reputation, though. Right. Right, right. It's, well, the whole, so they're a massive source of fiber, but they're also, they should all soak up stuff the same. I would, if I had to guess. Again, the science I have on this is limited. So what we should do is ask an actual science person. Maybe not about this, but about something else. I'm trying to do a good transition. It's just not really working. So instead, I'll play this. I think science is cool. I also think science is cool. And I also think Bobby Frankenberger is cool. Or in my head, I keep hearing booby Frankenbogger, but I can't. It's okay. It's okay. It's your fault, dude. You're the one that did it. I hear it every day in my head ever since elementary school as well.

Oh, great. Good. Then we can just keep bringing that back and making that trauma raw. Scott, it stopped hurting a long time ago. Well, good. Take some gin raisinsit. Densitized to the pain. Yeah, yeah. It'll be fine. Bobby Frankenberger joining us. He does a science podcast and comes on the show and does commentary about science on Thursdays, most Thursdays anyway. And we're glad to have you back. you sent me an article that I had actually been holding on to for the show and ended up not using yet

because it felt sciencey and then when you brought it up oh yeah of course we're going to totally do this and it sounds like goofball on the surface of things but it turns out there's like maybe a discussion to be had they're sending like gobs of semen up to the moon right like all the semen in the war not all of it, but a lot of, like, male sperm is headed, they want to send it to the moon to do what? Make the moon pregnant? What's the plan? I'm so glad that you said it that way, because you've already

illustrated why it's important to talk about this, because there's so many inaccuracies in just that one sentence that you did. It's not gobs. First of all, it's not gobs. Wow.

I hope it's not gubs. First of all, it's not just male semen that they're, it's not, not human seed that they're talking about exclusively. They're talking about sperm and eggs and seeds from like 6.7 million different species of plant, animal, and fungi on Earth. Oh, see, there you go already. I surfaced read that and thought, oh, that's a lot of people, semen. That's one guy having a real good time. Like, what are we doing here?

That's a lot. It's not your fault. You read it exactly the way the New York Times intended you to read it. Yeah, exactly. So, yeah. Also, they're not doing it. They're just talking about whether it's feasible to do it. But still, what's the point, to see how this genetic material behaves in that climate,

aka different gravitational stuff and all that? Is that the whole idea? No, not exactly, because they could test that in other ways, right? The space station is a lot closer to us than the moon. So that would be an easier way to do it if they really wanted to test that. And also, we can just make those cold environments on Earth if you were just trying to test cold environments. In fact, most things, all these seeds probably have already been in cryogenic temperatures on Earth because people store things like that. We have the whole seed bank.

Have you heard of the seed bank, the Norwegian seed bank? No. No. What are they doing? What are the Vikings doing? A bunch of frozen Viking sperm? Like, what's that about? Yes, that's exactly what it is.

No, there's a Norwegian island called Spitzbergen, and they have a global seed vault there where they keep... Because you wouldn't find it on Swallowsbergin. No, it's only on Spitzburg. Man, that's terrible that it's Spitzbergen. Okay, but what do they keep? They're keeping there not... We're not talking about just like human sperm. They're keeping everything there.

Like, there's goat sperm and, you know, horse. Right. Right. The idea was, let's take all the different DNA samples and seed and ovum and stuff of all the living things that we know of. And let's store it somewhere to have like a bank or a library of all the living things that are on Earth currently because, I mean, things go extinct all the time. So let's try to keep it preserved. Oh, I get you. Okay. So if these freaking giant. pandas would quit be in such weenies and not

reproducing we wouldn't have to keep so much of their backup sperm around the yeah right and instead of keeping it here on earth we're basically going to create a little vault of all these things we're creating the Disney vault of humanity on the moon right well that's what these

scientists and engineers are we're proposing they're saying the idea is the earth is a fragile place it's a You know, it's subject to wildly changing environments, right? Like climate change, you've got flooding, you've got earthquakes. Like, there's lots of things that can happen on the earth that would put these seeds at risk.

So why not have like an off-site backup? Oh, it's like remote cloud backup up there. Yes. Yeah, all right. Above the cloud. We're uploading sperm to the moon is what we're doing. Yeah, that's been your excuse for years. but now you can, it's real.

So hold on, though, like, that's very interesting. Just as a cold storage backup or whatever controlled, you know, environment where they want to have, but the moon's not experiencing, you know, a freaking, you know, hurricane season and all that BS. Like, it's just up there controlling our tides. It doesn't care. That's a great idea. Actually, now I'm all for this. Let's get the sperm on the boat.

Let's go. Well, I'm not convinced that it's a great idea. Um, I, I think that there are a lot of problems still to solve. First of all, it's not just like, you know, put some sperm in a rocket and shoot it to the moon. There's a lot more that has to go on. Yeah, yeah, bubble wrap. Yeah, exactly. The bubble wrap around it.

Yeah, that's all you need. It's just a nice layer of bubble wrap. Might rattle around in there. I don't know. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, exactly. It's, it's fragile. We have to build a place to store it.

It turns out that you would have to have a place to put it on the moon, like a facility and we haven't even sent people to the moon since the 70s so there are a lot of steps to get there and they seem to think that this is

like a cost saving measure like instead of like it's more cost efficient to do this than it is to spend a bunch of money on conservation efforts for animals and everything and I think that's a weird argument. Oh yeah that is weird

I'm not sure why we couldn't do both though You know like that's well that's one thing Yeah That's usually my complaint on the other side When people are complaining about spending too much money or time Trying to get to Mars and we're not worried about enough about what's happening down here My comment to those people is again You know we can do we can do both like

Yeah And we should do both because it turns out that life on earth Over billions and billions of years Was very specifically Evolved to be life on earth there's

life on Mars or on the moon and stuff like that will it's not going to be nowhere near what we want it to be right now like that's that should be an absolute like last ditch

we have no other option let's build a colony on Mars because otherwise we're all screwed you know we should also be be trying really hard to make it so we don't

have to do that. Yeah. Yeah. Like the idea isn't to say, you know, hopefully our idea isn't like well, our only choice now is to figure out how to go all of us to Mars so we can survive longer. It should be, hey, we should explore our, you know, as we're able to and as the tech

improves and blah, blah, blah. We should reach out. That's what we do. We're explorers. That's how we work. But also here at home, you know, we probably ought to take care of a, you know, our food production problems or whatever our issues are. Right. Yeah. Right.

So, let's do both. And to be sure, and to be sure NASA is not, like, their goal and all these scientists who are trying to get to Mars and explore and everything, their goal is not, like, we need to save humanity. They're just trying to do science. They're trying to learn as much as they can about the environment of Mars for the sake of science and for the unknown that we will learn about and who knows where that will lead us. so that's not to disparage the science that's being done at all but but uh this idea that we're all going to be okay if we if we just colonize mars is i don't know that that's a good they should put if they're going to have like corporate uh you know money on this and what they need a company to run the program they should use uh there's a company in germany already called seamens they should

just use them get seamans involved right it's already right there in the name yeah yeah get them going get the, to get all these seeds onto the moon, they will, they have all these ways that they want to do it. They, they think it won't be too expensive. They would use the current like Falcon X rockets or SpaceX stuff that is to get it there. They want to invent all these little robots. There's actually lava tubes on the moon. Whoa. Of course there are. Great. Push the button. Find the button. I'm trying to find it. Yeah, I was, I said it real slow so you could You did it a lot like... I can't think of the actor's name.

What's his name? Ernie Hudson. Ernie Hudson. You did it a lot like Ernie Hudson. You did him right. You did him well. Okay, there is. I found it.

Lava tubes. There you go. Yeah, so these were just discovered not too long ago a few years back that they're these, because they're these like meteorites or something have hit the surface on top of the lava tubes and exposed them. There's all these holes on the moon. that go straight down into these lava tubes and that's what they want to do

these engineers they said well let's drop this sperm bank into these lava tubes and that's where we can store them and so then they would have to but they would have to make it a lot colder than the moon even is you think about the moon being cold

but it's not it's not down to cryogenic temperatures oh so they'd have to figure this all sounds like futurey business. Yeah, it's interesting, it's, it sounds like futurey business. Yes, that's the department of NASA that's actually working on it, believe it or not. The Department of Futury business, yeah.

I'm glad my tax money is going to important stuff like the Department of Futury business. That makes me proud. Well, more on this, of course, is out there and available if you want to go read on it. But are you planning on covering this on your podcast? And if not, what else can people find on your... a fantastic new science podcast. I don't know that we're going to be covering this. I think I would have, we try to, we try to be a little, as clean as we can on,

on all around science. And I don't think I could make it a whole episode without. Giggling like an idiot. Yeah. I get you. I get you. But, but, but we, we do talk about a lot of science stuff. We just spent some time talking about, um, RNA and different types of RNA.

You know, the COVID vaccine, we've been talking a lot about RNA. And we talked several different kinds on this last episode that just came out on Monday. So if you're interested in that. But we talk about all kinds of stuff in science news. You know, anything that we find that's interesting that we think you guys would want to hear about. So you should check it out. It's all around science is the name of the podcast. Fantastic.

And that's true. You should check it out. Bobby, always a pleasure. We'll see you next time for more science coverage. Goodbye now. All right. Thanks, guys. Thanks, Bobby.

You have a weird buzz going. Did you hear that a couple times? Yeah, it was happening yesterday during Tom's coaching sessions, and it's something with Discord. But when you and I are talking, we don't have that. No. Was it only when Bobby's in the room? Was Bobby part of the coaching thing?

Bobby was there for the coaching. He was muted for most of it, but... I think it might be him. It could be him or could be different, because I know that there was just an update yesterday or the day before with Discord. And I'm updated, but maybe not everyone is. I don't know. That's weird.

It wasn't terrible. No, no. Dice tomato keeps saying it's coming from me. No, everything comes from me for you guys. All of it gets piped to you through me. So yeah, it came from me, but that's like saying, I don't know what that's like saying. Oh, D-Tomato's on one today. It's the D-D-day.

It's D-D-day here at, all right. We're going to, what are we going to do now? We're going to, we're going to do news. That's what we're going to do. Yeah. Because we have some. So here you go. It's time for the news.

Brought to you by. Brought to you by Coverville today at 1 p.m. Mountain Time celebrating the birthday of Jerry Cantrell, who was the founder and guitarist songwriter for Alice in Chains. So you're going to get two sets of Alice in Chains covers. No covers. by the band, or at least I haven't done a whole bunch of looking for covers by the band. Found a lot of covers of the band. So you're going to hear

those, obviously. And you're going to get some Alice in Wonderland to kind of fill out the show. So things like Wonderland by XTC, White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane, lots of stuff. There's a lot of songs actually influenced

and with a nod to Allison Wonderland. I am the Walrus by the Beatles. Oh, yeah. Love that one. Based on the sequel to Alice in Wonderland. Hey, I was listening to, it's funny you bring that up. I was listening to George Harrison's solo work from the 70s, but I'd not hear anything from the 80s,

which would have probably included, I've got my mind set on you, which I didn't hear. Right, so you listened to All Things Must Pass, probably. I think so. Yeah, it was very good. It's a great album. Yeah, it's awesome. So, what, why is my echo talking?

Oh my gosh, my echo. She hears her name. What did I even say? George Harrison, 70s, where did you get, where did you, what did you hear? Yeah. There was no A word in terms.

Who knows. All right. She just hears what she wants to hear is the problem. Yeah, she is a problem. Okay, check this out. Pickle packing pervert popped on private premise. Oh, work that pop filter. That's right.

I miss the smoking guns headlines. So whenever we get to have one, they're famous for this stupidness. It's very, very nice. Yeah, it's very, very nice. A pantsless Florida man. was arrested yesterday after police spotted him plagiaring himself, as my dad would say,

with a pickle while on a private premise. A private premises. Wouldn't be private premise, would it? If it's just one, I guess. I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I would think that premises, I have one question, though. Was it a dill, though?

Do you mean his flight, was it a dill though? Yeah. Yeah, you got to. a real deal on it. He got a real break. No, not his flight. Not a deal, though. The pickle that he was pleasuring himself with. Was it a dill though? Oh. Like, did he get a good price on the pickle? Is that what you're saying? A deal, though? Is that what you're saying? A deal, though? Are you going straight to dill? I'm saying a dill. Like a dill pickle. Oh, I get it now. A dildo.

Jeez, Louise. All of those jokes made me laugh. All of them. The wrong ones. The other ones, I don't know. The other ones, I don't. didn't think were that funny. The two or three wrong ones and the one right one that you said, all of those made me laugh. Like, what flight? Where did a flight come into this? I don't even know.

Where did I get that? I don't know where I got a flight. Usually these people aren't planes doing weird stuff with a pickle. That's why. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, Florida, man, it's got to get somewhere. So if I, so is this, am I on my premise right now? I'm still hung up on this.

I guess. That's really weird. Like, you only ever hear, it's not like you say pant, right? And you'll say pant leg, but it's, you'll pretty much always say, you'll, you'll pretty much always say pants. And so I always hear it as premises. I don't think of one location being a premise versus premises. Yeah, I don't either. We need you guys to leave the premise. Get off your premise. Ma'am, is this your premise? Well, anyway, responding to a suspicious person around,

or a suspicious person call around 4 p.m., a cop saw Eric Didledge, age 47, lying on his back in front of a townhouse in Oldmar and the city in Tampa Bay, or a city in the Tampa Bay Area. Diddleage, deedage, how do you say it? Unencumbered. Did they really say unencumbered? Did they mean to say that? Unencumbered. Hold on. I think they, I think they meant it. By pants or underwear had his unit in one hand and a large, uneaten pickle in the other. Well, yeah, it's uneaten. It wouldn't be in his hand. It wouldn't be able to hold it. Right. It'd be mush. I can't hold those eaten raisins that I consume this morning. I can only hold the uneaten raisins.

I will not use the words they use to describe this next part. Let's just say he was using the pickle in a very obscene way. Okay. Let's just say that he was shoving some wood in the wood chipper while he was driving with a gear shift. There you go. That's an image that we'll stream. not.

Yeah, if nobody will have any idea what I'm talking about, we'll go over. That won't invoke a bunch of thoughts in people's heads about what they're looking at. It'll be fine. It says he was arrested on a misdemeanor exposure of sexual organs charge. That's the thing there in Florida. He's being, they probably made it special for that state. I don't know. Yeah, exactly.

He's being held in Fini, or Pinealis, sorry, county jail in lieu of a $150 bond. That's all, $150 bucks? Really? Wow. It seems cheap. Yeah. I mean, you pretty much just have to go without one pickle purchase to be able to afford his bond. Yeah. Why don't you go without pickles for a couple of months and now you can afford your bond?

He had prior convictions of disorderly conduct, resisting police, criminal mischief, and he has a tattoo on his arm that says only God can judge me. No, I can do it too. I can do it too. I can totally. We can all judge. Yeah. Sorry. We're doing it now. like right now we're totally judging eric eric what's this huge and uh good luck with your pickle all right no pickles were harmed they don't say whether the arm that that uh has the tattoo that says only god can judge me was the arm holding the pickle or the arm holding the peen yeah which one's your dominant arm which won't you get the the shot in um all right move

Moving on. That story is Vlasic. Yeah, it's a Vlasic story. Florida, oh, I didn't even mean to do this. Florida woman. All right. Sorry, Florida. I don't mean to pile on today.

I really didn't. But Florida woman who allegedly. Have you met Eric? You guys should get together. She allegedly pretended to be a plastic surgeon, surgeon. But then she botched a nose job and it was arrested mid-procedure during this nose job. Yeah. So that's a thing you do.

Florida woman was arrested. Police say that she posed as a licensed plastic surgeon and she screwed up a dude's nose. According to Miami Herald, which cites police. This lady, she's 56, was in the middle of performing another procedure on Thursday when police arrested her. Authorities began to investigate her last month after they received a complaint from a former patient who said that his nose job had been botched. They called in and said, police? Yes. My name is so-and-so.

What can we do for you? my nose has been botched. She botched my nose. I love the term botched. It's awesome. It's fun to say. Let's see. It says here the alleged victim in that case,

Vincenzozo. Vincenzo. Vincenzo. Oh, Vincenzo, is it? Vincenzo, yeah, sure. That's a sexy name. It is. Yeah.

Too bad no sexy nose, though. It busted up nose. Told NBC, Miami, that he met. Jimenez, the doctor, through a friend. He had been getting Botox treatments for a couple of months and asked her about a rhinoplasty. That's a doctor talk for a nose job. Zerlo tells the station that he was unhappy with the initial procedure

and was suffering from extreme pain. He alleges that she offered to perform a second consecutive, excuse me, corrective procedure, but the results were also disappointing. It was only later the cops found out she was faking it and they busted her in the middle of a thing and now she's in jail. Damn.

Yeah. She's like... Made my nose look like a pickle. Bobby, or no, she's like Billy Bob Thornton in Fargo Season 1 when he pretends to be a dentist late in the season. Oh yeah, right.

That whole thing. Oh, that's so freaky to me. Like the idea that your dentist is just like a hit man hiding in there. Yeah. I'm curious as to how many how many surgeries she did before this one. Was this the way?

the one that she was fixing was that her first or had she done a bunch of it doesn't get real it doesn't get real specific but my guess is a bunch before you get caught sounds like this been a scam for a bit damn damn oh that's true yeah if she's just doing botox injections injections that's probably something you can learn on youtube yeah i want to say i have i know someone who gives their friend botox injections doesn't go anywhere to do it but does it themselves i don't know if that's legal true friend right Yeah, a true friend. Come here, lay down.

I'm going to inject highly toxic Botox into your face and hopefully I do it right. Right. And we'll still be friends after. Well, anyway, she's out of commission. No more joby for her.

All right. Now we go to Japan. So get out of Florida. Shake it off. We're moving to Japan. Get your ramen and your J-pop on. A politician dressed as the Joker is running for office there.

Oh, so. Well, all right. First question is going to be, which one? Is it the, you know, is it the, the, the, the, the Christian, or the, not Christian Bell, the Heath Ledger Joker. Is it the Arthur Fleck Joker? Is it the Jack Nicholson Joker? Unfortunately, he's kind of anime Joker. Like, it's not.

Oh, really? Like, like Mark Hamel Joker? No, not even that. Go, click that link and look, because I don't think he's very good at me. in the Joker face. Oh, no. This is, this just looks like a... That's borderline, that's like somebody

who saw a picture once of Ronald and is trying to do... Saw the picture once and is trying from memory to do the makeup he saw all those years ago. Exactly, exactly. I think this is what Ronald McDonald looked like. I'm not sure.

Oh, that's funny. You want to know how I got these weird blue stripes on my face? Uh-huh. Sharpie, blue sharpie. It says here, the new figure in Japanese politics is running for office to remind voters that we live in a society. When Yuzuki Kauai decided he was going to run for governor of Chibi prefecture east of Tokyo, he clearly set out to make an impression on undecided voters.

His campaign strategy is simple. He decided to dress up as the iconic Batman villain, the Joker. Again, dubious claim. Yeah. And before you guys think, this is just some kind of joke, let's just say he has some good policy. this article. Gwai, who is the head of the event planning and temporary employment agency, is returning as a candidate for the party to make all of Chiba a land of great, oh, sorry, a land of dreams and magic. Well, that's a hell of a policy. Yeah, all right. I can see why they support

his policy of dreams and magic again. I can see the red hats now. Yeah, yeah, well, Joker hats, smiley faces and little chattering teeth ago. Anyway, according to the Japanese blog, Hachima Kiu, his campaign pledges to include renaming Narita Airport in Chibli to Disney Sky. Okay. Because there's already, the Disneyland there has Magic Kingdom and then Disney Sea, S-E-A. So now you get Disney Sky. I see what he wants to do there.

Sure. There's only one ride, and it's very expensive. But, all right. He also says he's picking Let It Go from the film Frozen. is the Prefecture's theme song. All right. He's really, I didn't realize Prefectures had a theme song.

Yeah, me neither. He's really Disney, super into Disney here. I guess the location matters. Outlawing the word trash and replacing it with the phrase Star Fragment. Okay.

So when Martin, you got to collect all the, when you go into play a Mario game, you're not collecting all the star fragments. You're connecting all the trash. Oh, I got to go pick up all this trash. It's a me. I don't know why that song's in there.

All right. Building a red tower similar to Tokyo Tower in Tokyo in the prefecture, calling it Tokyo Tower for reasons that are unclear. So I want to build a tower that's kind of just like Tokyo Tower. Yeah. I'm going to make one here and I'm going to call it Tokyo Tower. Yeah. For reasons that are, quote, unclear.

Yeah, okay. Yeah, he's got my vote. I mean, I'm not a nationalized or naturalized citizen of Japan. but if I was, I would seriously consider voting for this terrible joker. Oh, dude, if you're on the page, there's a YouTube video that is his campaign song. Oh, no way, for real. Can you link this? Yeah. I mean, it's on the page that's linked to your article. But I'll put it in here as well.

It's showtime. Is that the one? It's showtime. All right, chat. Sit back. Let's enjoy this together. This is going to be great. I'm pretty excited. Okay, I'm hitting play. Okay. Oh, it's muted.

Okay. There is. He's missing one of his joker lines. He is, yeah. He got interrupted. It's a little bit of... It's a shabu, each a yajah, so, I don't know. This is at the Shibuya crosswalks there.

Yeah, very Gengam style, very sigh. Yeah, which is, I don't know. Oh, missed opportunity. There's all these shots of him by, like, tall or, you know, really high staircases. Why isn't he doing the Arthur Fleck? dance down the staircases with his bottle of champagne. Because I, I'm just going to

put this out there. I don't think he really knows much about the Joker. I know, exactly. I think he pretends like he's got some real basic Joker stuff going, but I don't know, kind of like I kind of like his moxie. Well, if you're going to get weird, get weird, I guess.

He's been talking to a dog statue. Yeah, like you do. You do that. Oh, yeah. The, uh, the guys with masks behind him, a real selling point. The weird faceless baby masks. Yeah. One important

note, let's see, who said it in the chat? Icor asked, is he even really supposed to be the Joker? The truth is the article never really says that he's he never makes that claim. So I think it's just everyone else going, oh, it's like the Joker, but not maybe it's just clown makeup.

Yeah, exactly. He says, the article says, presumably for copyright reasons, he's also not the Joker. He just happens to be a Joker. Okay. Again, they're assuming a lot on that, but I don't know. I mean, it's absolutely like Kabuki clown makeup for sure, but... The suit is jokery, you know, like the... The suit is jokery. It's also McDonald's, the red and yellow.

Oh, yeah, that that handkerchief really makes it McDonald's. You're losing the election. You're not going to win. This is all fun, but you won't win. We're going to take a break. When we come back, my sister, the therapist, Wendy, will be here. And we're going to talk about something. I won't say it's fun, but it's going to be an interesting conversation today.

And not so much about, we're trying to have one week. What grows Brian out the most? Yeah. We're going to play, basically. Yeah, kind of. Me too. But it's also not, you know, your usual heavy, you know, mental anguish sort of episode. So stick around for this one.

I think it'll be a good fun. Before that, though, music will break with Brian. Please give me a song to play. I will do that happily. This is so cool. This is something that I didn't even know was coming out, and apparently is a surprise to a lot of people.

The band is called Ghost of Vroom, V-R-O-O-M. But it's made up of Mike Dowdy, great singer-songwriter who was with the band's solo coughing, but then had this great solo career, and his longtime collaborator, assist Andrew Scrap Livingston. Two of them are getting together in creating this band called

Ghost of Vroom. They have a brand new album, which is called Ghost of Vroom One. It was supposed to be released tomorrow. It was released today. Kind of a surprise release here. This is the first single from the album. It's called I Hear the Axe swinging.

Oh, children, sprats from the wind. Oh, oh. See that bridge on a rampsy, man, you go roll that ball, and your thoughts analytic. Oh, and a lamp's a man, you go to red stick, and I'll call your blood. Don't the wick won't be for sure On the cat line Damn, blessed the soda Deep deep on the pillow

Apparently I used two Fletchers in a row and didn't know it. I thought I had nothing wrong with that. Yeah, it's all right once in a while. Repeat your Fletchers, everybody. There's power in it. Hey, we're back. That means that it's time for us to... Oh, that song again?

You want to do a quick reminder on that? Oh, yeah, yeah. That was Soul Cuffing's Mike Dowdy with a brand new band called Ghost of Vroom. The song is, I hear the axe swinging, and it's available now, the whole album available now. Oh, very nice. Somebody in the chat was saying they knew who that name was, and I'd never heard of them. Oh, yeah, soul coughing is great, and Mike Doughty is awesome. I guess I've heard of soul coughing now that I think about it longer.

Joining us on the line is my sibling. We call ourselves here in the modern era. She's my sister. Her name is Wendy Dunford. She's an actual therapist. She helps people with real problems all the time, and she joins us on Thursdays for a little segment we call Therapy Thursday. Hi, Wendy. Oh, I don't hear.

Heard her a second ago, I thought. I did too. Perhaps she is cheek muted again. Wendy, have you cheek muted? Wendy. Wendy? Cheek mute. I know what we've done.

It's because I haven't played this. Where is it? This. Nope. Not that. This. Nope. Yeah, this.

Did that work? Did that clear it? Nope. Nope. Still not that. It's been botched. Oh, no. Like that surgery.

Call her again and see if we can clear that up. Now we hear you. That was weird. That was weird. Discord's a little weird today. It's not your fault. We give the blame squarely. We leave it at the feet of Discord.

But it's good to have you here. And how are you? How's things? Good. You're all good. Yeah. Temperatures warming up in your part of the world. It is.

Yeah. We had a good snowstorm. that Colorado snowstorm a little after you there, Brian, and, uh, but just the edge. So it's just like just a little taste of what we had. Yeah. If you want more, uh, we can, we can send you more. Oh, you still have it. Is it still? We have plenty of snow still on the ground. Oh, wow. Although not for much longer, we're going to get 60s over the weekend. It's going to be all gone Monday. That sounds so good. That sounds so good. We're at 43 right now. Maybe that means today is going to be nice and I need to

walk the dog more. Anyway, we'll see how that goes. But it's good to have. have Wendy here because, man, we have a weird topic today. Now, yeah, we do. Before I read it, you know, people out there have heard of things like my strange addiction or whatever, these TLC shows where people eat a couch or, I don't know, they like to eat their dog fur or whatever it is, like just strange things like that. And there are also things that are that are less strange than that. And we're going to talk about one of those. But I think the overall, the overall issue of why people are drawn to this sort of thing will be an interesting conversation to say at the very least.

So here we go. And you know what's nice when you was saying this before you came on? We're not having to save the world today. Today's a day where we don't have to get so dark and deep into the neurosis. None of you sent an email about your midlife crisis because I would literally solve all your problems if you would just

give me some to work with somebody. We'll give them an extra week, but so far not one email of anyone admitting to or claiming their midlife crisis or whatever. They're all in denial. They're all in denial, yeah. That's what I'm thinking. If you're between the age of 36 and 50, you are having one.

So just write me an email. Yeah, just send an email. You don't have to say your name. We're never going to mention who you are. You'll be fine. We promise. Full anonymity is what we guarantee here on the morning stream. All right, here's the email.

I'm not going to give this person a name either. I have a strange question that might not have been asked on therapy Thursdays before. Why is watching slash doing zip popping so relaxing? Makes me gag. Yeah. I know it's not for everyone. Oh, boy, howdy. But like watching slash doing zip popping brings me so much joy.

When my family has a Zit, they all pop it. They'll all, sorry, they'll let me pop it or find it myself. And I get so excited. I can't wait to pop it. The explosion of breaking the tension of the skin is so exciting. Why has my brain found this so relaxing? Thanks for answering my question. I appreciate it.

All right. Immediately puts me in the mind of, again, I don't want to call people out by name. Well, let's just say someone Wendy and I are related to directly. Really, really got excited if anybody had a scab. So let's say we're kids and we're running around and somebody's got scraped up knees or whatever. And that knee thing turned into a scab and this person and our family would go, let me see it. Let me see it.

And she just like corny somewhere and then like go like full like micro doctor scab peel on you and wanted to peel your scab. I mean, I know I know somebody likes if you get a sunburn and you're arm starts peeling they like peeling the the dead white skin off your arm there's another yep there's another one so why do we do that stuff like there's an entire show on tLC called the dr pimple popper yeah yeah and her and she has a really she has a massive following on tic talk as well because they do little micro segments on there and it's everything from just somebody's weird face thing to some guy in his 60s who in his 20s got like a weird thing in his arm that he never took care of and now it's just this giant almost extra appendage hanging off his shoulder and

she's got to figure out how to get it out of there and everyone's just like so fascinated by this what is that what are we doing when we do this because the only one I've ever seen was that one where there's a big old like third head on his shoulder yeah did you see that it's horrifying that's the only one I'm seen yeah it's bad and so I am no expert, but I would say there's a couple things probably happening. So we're going to take a evolutionary view of this. And I'm going to make you guys do the work today. All right. Okay. So think about from an evolutionary standpoint, why would a chemical in your head be released of either calming or soothing or dopamine or, you know, like you're getting a feel good

chemical? This, of course, isn't everybody, right? But for some. I feel good. chemical released when something comes out of our body, of a body that's menstrual-like or tumor-like or, you know, whatever. Why is there an advantage to giving us a dose of, ooh, that felt good? Well, probably because we're ridding ourselves, like in the case of pimple-popping, you're literally ridding yourself or potentially ridding yourself of infection. So you're-toxin, yeah, right. Yeah, so you're getting rid of infected, you know, those, I mean, gross as it may

be, that's, that's your body's way of, you know, fighting off infection. And so when puss and stuff builds up and you get it out of there, that's your way of saying, oh, I've now rid myself of this. Therefore, increased my chances of survival. Yeah, even though it's like one's at a time, I'm going to live. We think about, yeah, where most dopamine is released is eating and sex. The two things that require, like, keep the species going and alive, right? Yeah. Yeah. And then there's obviously lots of other ways. But there is a bit of a little dopamine hit, I think, that comes from. I think, I mean, that's my theory.

I haven't checked it. I just made it up. But I think it's probably true. But I also think there's something else happening here, too. So like, is it in particular or something that, like, okay, I watched that episode where the thing came out of that dude's shoulder. Yeah. It's like birth. Right?

Like a, like a, like a, the tension, the pressure, and then suddenly. freedom like the explosion element of it or the the moment of anticipation i mean think about any good movie you've ever seen we have similar elements right we are drawn to sort of the drama of that will we die will we not will that globule come out or not yeah uh so i think it has it to do with that i think it has to do with anticipation pressure like the building tension and then the like magical release of the goo coming out do you think there's like a uh uh a comparison you could make to people feeling I'm not I don't I don't have numbers to support this or any data but I just wonder if this stuff is more compelling during lockdown because

people are like I need a I need a release and and so instead of finding one I will get a small kick of dopamine out of this little video I saw on TikTok of a guy popping a giant cyst off his back and that gives them a similar like It sounds so grody while I'm talking about it. But I'm just trying to think like from a, just from a mental like, um, like I can't stand it. It grosses me out so bad. Like it's really foul to me to, to ever, I don't want to watch somebody do this. And, but I also understand like rubber neck sort of accident watching.

I understand why this is a train wreck and you might be like, oh my gosh, what is happening? Really turn and rewind that. I got to see, you know, let you know what I mean? Like you just can't believe what you just. sauce sort of thing. But for the people that actually you're getting something out of it, it reminds me of ASMR or something like that. Yeah. Right. The thing, I also don't experience that. So, so I don't, I feel like I, I feel like I'm totally useless in this,

in this world. I don't have any, I don't have any, you know. But you Brian, do you like a good zip popped in front of you? I don't. Um, but, but I totally, you know, I've seen those videos that are like, uh, somebody popping bubble wrap or, um, an industrial, real machine that always cuts things in the same perfect way and the repetition of that. And I feel like that's, that's probably stems from the same, uh, same pleasure center, right? The same.

Um, and in that case, maybe order and precision have sort of a, yeah, and that probably is it. Yeah. Oh, and that's another, that's another thing to look at here. There's something about, um, oh, I didn't even think about this. Okay. Now I know how to, now I know how to relate to this. if you get um like i remember okay back in 2015 i had this weird thing on my arm where i got this big ring like this raised ring around my my arm and my first thought went ring worm that's what

that is but it's only because it was a ring i didn't know um and i'm making all these self-diagnosis about what this could possibly be because i don't know what i'm doing and i'm not a trained professional and so there's chaos to this ring there's sure it's the chaos rings from sonic anyway i looked at it and just thought oh no that's cancer or that's this or that's that and all i could do is like, you know, I could go doomscroll on the internet and try to self-diagnose, but that wasn't going to really help me because no two rings are alike, as I learned. And then finally going to a professional and having them say, oh, yeah, we know exactly what that is. So what we're going to do is we're going to put this cream on it.

I'm also going to take a quick little biopsy of it just to make sure this and that and the other thing. And then by next week, we'll have that back and we'll know what's going on. And I'm pretty sure this cream will do it. And he was right. And it did. And it totally took care of it. So there's something about resolution. there. Do you know what I mean?

Like, totally. Stressing about a thing you don't understand or why it's so bad or whatever, but then you finally get to a place where in the Dr. Pimple Popper case, she's a professional who's making way more money as an entertainer than she ever was as a doctor. But still, you know, somebody who knows dermatology and understands, you know, skin science and all of this, giving resolution to a guy who's had a giant shoulder cyst for the last 30 years. And there's something about that resolution that I think is super satisfying. It's

like, okay, we've resolved this. And that I can relate to. I get that feeling. So maybe that's what they're feeling. To the storytelling parts of us, right, we really need things to make sense. So we have maybe a biological reaction. And here's the thing, the disgusted stuff like that also makes a lot of biological sense, right? So contagion or just like somehow that's going to get on you and it represents sort of disease or decay or whatever, right? And everyone's on a spectrum here with how they feel about those different things and for different reasons. But it also has that same underpinning of sort of survival or like a disgust response. Discuss response is think about what discussed most of us. Not everyone, of course.

But like usually it's because there's got E. coli in it and we should really stay away from it because it's going to kill us, right? And so there's some built-in mechanisms. We are organisms that have to survive. And this is one of the ways we do this. So on those levels, right, you can understand that side of it. But I do think there is some underpinning every human needs this thing, which is a story to make sense of the world. And so something can be really satisfying. So even, you know, Brian's, you know, those satisfying videos, they are amazing to watch. because I can tell you all day about them and then I can actually watch one

and it's like I get hypnotized. It's bizarre, right? Yeah. And it's because there's so much order and rhythm and that is for the brain very secure, right? There is no randomness to it. There is, you know, whatever it may be. It doesn't even have to be,

we're not telling a story about some machine that cuts perfectly, but we are finding some comfort that that exists in our society and somehow if we can do that, we'll be okay or whatever. I don't know, you know, maybe no one's actually thinking the story, but this storytelling thing is really powerful. One thing to note, I've recently, if you're not listening to Hidden Brain, please start listening to it.

It's so great. Hidden Brain is awesome. It is so great. And there's one about the stories, stories about stories. I think it's a recent one. Anyway, but just this idea that when there's an unknown entity, we need a story, like you and your ring rash. So the story is death and cancer because your brain tends to go there. and someone else might have a different, like,

oh, that's nothing. Must have bumped it or something, right? And so everyone's going to be different in the story they tell that ultimately helps them feel satisfied with whatever the situation is, right? All the way from freaked out to calm about it. But there is some explanation.

And what, you know, the Hidden Brain episode is interesting. It goes into how we just get it wrong. And like we're pretty likely to get it. it wrong, what the actual story is. And it has a lot to do with sort of whatever is underlying your experience, right? So I would say the vaccine right now is a perfect example of this, right? I have zero problem with vaccines. I'm super stoked. Let's do this everyone. I'm all about that. And then, you know, I've talked to a number of people who've had the vaccine and it just

is rocking them. And I'm like, don't tell me this. Yeah, I don't want to hear about it. I know. I know. I know that, and I know intellectually what I think, but when someone just tells you, hey, here's this thing that made me sick, you know, your biology does not want you to run to go do it, right? Right. Even though you know it's the right thing. Like, yeah, your story doesn't match what you want. The biology and the kind of the, oh, no, doesn't match the story. And then so this is where you see a lot of people so entrenched in whatever story it is that they. subscribe to because there's probably a biological factor there, some kind of impulse. And then also just misinformation and, you know, all the, like, perfect example is someone on a German website wrote, well, like a medical something just said, well, I think this vaccine causes infertility in women. One person wrote it. Zero proof evidence, no studies, nothing. But then these doctors were saying, all these folks started coming and saying, well, I read

that it'll cause infertility. Do you think of how easy it is to undo any actual reality with something that biologically or just like story-wise is just super impactful? Plus it's really hard to dial back. Like once that starts happening, yeah, you kind of can't dial it back. It's out, which is really disconcerting. I freaking hate that. I hate that.

And it goes for, well, whatever. I've been grappling with this lately. The idea that back in the 90s, I was told that the internet was the information super highway and I was gonna give whatever I need whenever I need it and it was true for a chunk of time.

But now it's all about who's twisting it in a way to feed their deal and whether or not I'm a sucker for it. You know what I mean? Ah, it's annoying. I'm looking at my headlines.

Look at this. I open up my phone. I'm like, oh, what's going on in the world of things I care about? well my phone thinks what I care about is the following lawmakers demand an end to anti-Asian hate many Asian Americans see shooting as a culmination of year of racism Georgia's sheriff official condemned after saying Atlanta shooter was just having a bad day like the

most this is all so annoying and not annoying but you know it's all about this horrible shooting but it's all just so everything's dower why because they want me to feel dower. They don't want to just inform me. Okay. Those days are gone. We're done with that. Now they just want me to feel like crap. Or to feel like I have no control over any of this, right? It doesn't help sell product. It doesn't help get advertising. You wonder what the, what is the end game on that? Just getting people wild up. Let's back up for a second. Go back to the evolutionary purpose, right? Yeah. is why have we had town criers?

Why do we have gossip? Why do we have any of that stuff that we want to hear what's going on? We need to know. Think about that from a biological perspective. Because it makes us feel better to see other people doing worse than us. Right. Well, there's that. There could be that.

But there's also like when maybe similarly to watching a zip be popped, it's like, you know, and you can witness. And it's not you, right? It's not my zip getting popped. So my giant shoulder gnome, this is, you know, you're observing. And so that's my sense of, like, we can't ever blame the media for existing. That you'd have to blame humanity, right? Like, that's just in us. You're right.

You're right. And again, the money will, what bleeds leads for a reason. There's a biological reason. So, for example, if you want to sleep well at night, don't read the news. And if you want to sleep bad at night, read the news. What's the difference? Are you safe or not? It doesn't change.

at all. But your body goes, you know how scary it is to be here. So maybe I'll keep one eye open, right? Versus being ignorant of all of the news and all the things or only listening and reading about good things that are happening. It absolutely changes how you feel about other people. So there isn't cost to this, absolutely. But understanding why it happens to me, it feels very, I don't know, simple on one hand and then where it gets complicated. And what has happened is we're morphing as a society from one or two news sources to one million news sources, which again, it's just, everything's biased, of course, but now it's so biased in every different direction.

And it's just massive. It doesn't have this, it's not helpful anymore. It's just massive and everywhere. So it just occurred to me while you were talking. I was trying to think it's something where I can relate to say somebody to bring it back to the original point, which is, you know, why is watching a bunch of people pop zits cool for some people to watch and not me? but for me this is fail videos i love them i could watch them all day i love watching some skateboard

idiot wipe out most of them that those are the ones that i actually have the problem with the skateboarding idiots who land like right on their coxics or or um their heads on the cement or their neck and bends in a way or whatever yeah all of that stuff is i mean it's hard to watch those are the ones i can't watch i wince but i can watch them i can watch parkour dummies wipe out after missing a leap or whatever. I don't want to watch snuff films, but, you know, where people didn't die, I'm all into those fail videos. Fail Army is my favorite thing on YouTube. And I will watch it. Anytime you want to send me a fail video, they crack me up and I find them cathartic for some reason and I don't know why. So, why? I don't know. Figure it out. Why? I think it's because

what Brian said rings a bell to me, which is it's not happening to me. Yeah. you think funny like you're laughing as your response some of them yeah yeah some of it is some of it's funny to me so i i'm married to someone who thinks i'm literally the devil because i think that stuff's funny too and he doesn't he i cannot stand it he thinks it's the humanity is ruined because of it you basically married me you married the male version of kim she's the same way she hates those thing, freaking hates them. Hates them. I think it is interesting that there's laughter.

Like, that's a funny response to have to someone else getting hurt. Well, okay, let me put it this way. If they're getting hurt, hurt, it's not so much laughter. It's more like, oh, my gosh. But if it's like... If you know they're going to get up after that, like Alleycar brings up great ones, people walking in the glass doors. I can watch videos of people walking into glass doors all day long,

especially if they're carrying like a big old Starbucks latte and it like splatters all over the glass door and them. Yeah. And you just know that they're embarrassed. They're trying to think of what they're supposed to do. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that stuff's very, very funny to me. They're fine. Yeah.

The other thing is, it's maybe somewhat relatable or it's a group you, it's easy to hate, right? Maybe. You both just said parkour idiots. I mean, you had some names for this. I did not say that. I think I'm the one that said it. I'll take the credit for that, but yeah. But I say that, I don't think they're idiots or I don't dislike them.

I think that parkour people are, you know, incredibly daring. They're doing a thing I would never do. And so that's fascinating in its own way to say, oh, my gosh, look at this thing that I would even consider almost superhuman because I just don't have the mentality or the physicality to do what they're doing. And that goes from that all the way to somebody, these people that climb sky. scraper just to get up selfie and then climb down. Yeah. I don't know. I just can't imagine a world.

Yeah, they get on those like long, the cranes that go over the city, like on the top of a building just so they can take a picture. Look, no wires holding me or anything like that. Right. Like that's scary. Can't do it. Can't even think about it almost. But, but watch a video.

People are awesome. I like that too. Yeah. Like the fail army has a sister site called. They're just not as funny, Wendy. fail army has make you like humanity more some of them do just like wow we are better than I thought we were sometimes yes sometimes yes like the win army stuff on fail army I like those because it's just just a nice change of pace it's like oh that's a guy that just saved three dogs from getting run over

in the craziest video i ever saw or there's a guy who uh stopped his grandson from falling off the edge of a building or or whatever they give you a similar kind of thing though to me which is amazing moments caught on camera I don't know like America's funniest tone video is cranked up to 5 million is where we're at now which is a lot like the news thing which is a lot like everything everything's cranked up to 5 million

because everyone's got cameras everyone's capturing moments everyone can post something up there you know I have my brother-in-law Richard had something posted to fail on me because he wiped out on his four-wheeler and it was an awesome video and they ran it. So it's just like if you got a camera and it's mounted to your helmet, you're filming

everything. If you're Russian, you all have dash cams. You're catching the weirdest stuff on the planet happened right in front of you. And so now it's all out there. So there is also something about the availability that's tempting, I guess. Totally. Totally. And I also, again, so think in terms of stories, right? It's what do we expect? And then our expectation is, you know, twisted very suddenly, right? Like, we can love or hate that, right? Usually it's, you know, you're walking along the street. You're just, you have expectations of what's going to occur, right? So these things also show us the just out of the expectation that we like, we like a story. We like it to fit. We also like to be surprised. It's so funny. When I was in Sweden, I went to, uh, what's that movie?

The Mars one. Oh, the Martian. Was it the Martian with, um, Matt Damon? Matt Damon. I was going to Come, dad bought it. Pooping on a potato. Yeah, that guy. Anyway, we watched it, and as we were leaving the theater, the friends that were with me, there were two Swedes and one was British. And they just, at the end, I said, oh, did you guys sing the movie? And they just said, you know, sometimes it's just so nice to watch an American movie

because everybody wins every time. It's like, it's never a French movie. You know what I mean? It's always. We have to feel like it's resolved. justice was served there's always you know and it's just it was always so funny to me to hear because again i just think oh that's movies and they're like no that's american movies you're like yeah i forgot we have our own and we have our own little dark twisty stuff it's just that when

we do it it's like oh wow really took a took a uh a real interesting swing there you had everyone died the end of rogue one whoa like in mainstream movies that's a it acts like uh everyone acts like that's like this huge avant-garde move but really it's old hat for like italian and french filmmakers that's all they do yeah today we rented out a theater uh just us and another family which is like fun the most expensive movie i've ever been to um and uh it was just it was fun and we it was one of those moments where i mean when's the last time we were in a theater and you have like oh i have to pee and i'm cold and I have the taste of popcorn in my mouth.

It has been so long. A perfect storm. What did you watch, by the way? It was so nostalgic. I loved it. And then people laughing in the theater, I've always thought, oh, I wonder who has that laugh.

And this time it was, because I know all of the people in the theater. Yeah, because you're running around. But what movie did you see? We saw Raya and the Last Dragon. Oh, I hear that's rad. It's really great. And there was a couple things I could really appreciate it about it.

There were a couple typical tropes, right? did you have in any movie because it's the formula to get people to pay and watch it, right? Yeah. On one hand. And the other, I really, I really appreciated that every actor in that movie was Asian. But there was no white kids trying to act like they're Asian in this movie. It was awesome. And then the other thing I really liked was there was no romantic interest.

When was the last time besides where, and even then, Frozen twisted it for us on its head, right? like the sister's love was the whatever. How about Brave? Brave's a good example. They never had a great example. Yeah. But even had the topic of marriage and her being betrothed as part of it. This had nothing.

And at one point I was like, when's it going to happen? When's the cute army guy going to come around the corner and blah, blah, blah, nothing. It was great. Yeah. So that was fun. That was fun. But again, it was. Moana.

Moana didn't have that. Moana was about family love, but Moana didn't have a suitor. That's true. that's another good one same same creators of that did this thing you just watched so that maybe they got a theme going yeah and here's the thing soon enough that will be a norm

and it won't be surprising right so this is how sort of and this is why I think humans adapt we're super adaptable so I'm guessing this emailer let's go back to Zitz because it's very important going back to like if we showed her endless endless videos of this to the point where it's not

enjoyable, we gotta get harder material. She's not going to just want to watch, you know, is it like white heads being popped for four days. She's going to want to get, you know, more exciting stuff. And I think that's part of what we see with news and we see with whatever.

You've always got to break the next barrier. It's got to be the next. Yeah, right. Yeah. And if you think back, have you guys seen Moonboy by chance? It's, um, moon boy. On Hulu. It's so funny.

It's, uh, you'd know him. He's famous and I can't remember. He's an imaginary friend to a kid. Anyway, it's very funny. It's Irish. Put on your subtitles. Oh, we've seen Moon Boy. It's a guy from IT crowd. Yeah, there we go. That guy. Chris O'Dowd. Yeah. Uh, yes. Moon Boy, I forgot the name, but yes, Moon Boy's fantastic. It's great. Moon Boy's fantastic. One thing I love about it is all of the references to things that are in the future, because this is supposed to be 1979 or 1980, you know? Yeah. And this girl really likes spicy food. And he's like, you could be.

like a spice girl. I mean, it's just dumb. Or like his code name in this, his theater class was iPod. He just came up with it. And everyone kept calling him iPod. And it's just dumb. But every time we've watched it, I just laughed so hard because I think there was a time when we didn't know what those words were. You know, like I said COVID the other day. And I went, that is a word. I did not know a year ago. Like a word I would have never said out loud a year and a half ago, you know? And it's just interesting as we sort of change and grow. and stories change and grow. I think it's, you know, watch your zip popping.

Watch your fail shows, whatever. But just, you know, be nice in real life. That's how we ended up. Yeah. And just know you're going to crave the harder stuff. Right. Take it easy. Yeah.

Because that, I mean, there's a whole other episode we could do about when people go down the, the porn road, they have the same problem. Pretty soon you're watching stepmoms popping zits. Yeah. Wow. I don't want to know. websites, that came from. Well, and this is a downer, so I won't dwell on it. But it is something maybe we ought to talk about at some point is just how we know from

research that the delay from a major traumatic event for a community in suicide rates and depression and anxiety rates, the delay is two years. So we are a year into a pandemic, hope there's some light at the end of the tunnel, but the ramifications for the long term, we don't. know yet. We don't have enough of the study of this original thing. We're still in it. And so anyway, there's lots of sad things to talk about. So this was nice. Thanks, guys. Yeah, it was nice. A little zip popping, fun time talking is what this is. is what we did here today. Well, awesome. I'm also glad to hear you like fail videos and that Adam is

like Wendy or like Kim. I think that's hilarious. And better than both of us. Yeah, and better than both of us combined. They will make one giant Voltron awesome spouse one day. All right. Wendy, in the meantime, people should go check out Realsteps.org and get ready for whenever the next signups are soon. May is coming up. So just sign up. There's just a place to put your email and we will send you more information, but the signups

will be, I got to get through March. And then April will come and then I'll send an email. And anyway, we'll get started. It's going to be a lot of fun. It's going to be great. You can also follow Wendy on Instagram, even though you don't post a lot on there anymore. I've noticed. You should do more. You know why? Have I ever told you this? No, tell me why.

Well, before, I only did it because I was in Sweden and Sweden had a hilarious things. And lots of like funny cultural differences to post about you. Sure, sure. And my kids are like queens and teenagers and they're older now. Not as cute. So I'm not as cute. They're not as cute.

I mean, look at anyone's Instagram. As soon as the kids like 11, the pictures drop. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's like if you buy a black dog, nobody takes pictures of black dogs. If you notice that, it's a bummer. It's because you can't see them. You can't make out the like contours of their face. stuff so they're not as cute as other dogs and it's annoying so I try to just looks like the silhouette of a dog yeah I try to change that friend with my dog Rainer who's who's just

jet black her fur but then I noticed that the pictures are bad you can't see anything it's just it looks like a bat anyway oh sorry continue on by the way if you need to feel good about the world a canine shoot canine intervention is on something else can you tell I've been watching TV lately yeah you sure have geez can more than ever No, is a canine intervention is this guy in California who's created, like basically will train these totally untrainable dog. He just helps to rescue people and dogs. It's amazing. It's supposed to be good.

Carter wanted to watch this because she's, her dog's huge and she wants to. I mean, these dogs are ones that have had problems, though, right? He's trying to train. Oh, yeah. But it does give you hope that you can train your little sweet dog just to be a little better. Yeah. But he hits, it's so great. And he talks a lot about, um, rescuing black dogs in particular.

and what he has to do there. It's, anyway, it's good. Anyway, what were we saying? I forgot. Oh, why I stopped posting? Yeah, why I stopped posting is truly this. And I can't bring myself back to it. And I get it like everyone does this sort of thing.

But when George Floyd was murdered, I just couldn't. I feel like never again. And I know that might be weird and I should get some therapy about it. But there is just something about everyone going, all right, I'm on to this. And here's the blackout screens. and just like, I know, in like a week, you're going to post a picture of your puppy and your kid, and you're going to do nothing. Like, it made me, I couldn't handle it.

So I still go on there to watch Fail Salad, by the way, which is a great sale. But, yeah, so I don't know. I need some help or I should just never go back. I can't decide because I just feel like I wanted my energy to go through. I've had a similar coming to, coming to Jesus moment, but just kind of a moment here of like trying. I need to restructure what I think of as social media and get it back to what, back to being a positive thing in my life. Because right now, it is just so full of contradiction, hypocrisy, clickbait.

I read a thing I have not been able to get out of my head. It was the statement. I forgot even who said it, but it said if the product is free, meaning, you know, if think of Facebook or whatever, if that, if the service is free, then you're the product. and I've never felt that more acutely for some reason. It really is hitting me lately. Like, I am just a sucker in here. So I'm a change it.

So we're changing, you know, I did a big Twitter pruned. Don't only do the ones you can pay for. I've been pruning people. I don't want to follow anymore. I've been just rethinking all that. And I don't know. I don't know if it'll get me anywhere, but that's interesting. All right.

Well, don't visit Wendy on Instagram. She doesn't post there. That's what we're saying. Yeah, I don't. But I sure love your fail videos. Yeah. Keep those fail. videos coming every keep failing

fail upwards keep failing everybody yeah Wendy uh pleasure to talk we'll talk soon have a great week we'll see you soon you too bye all right there she goes nice yeah I've never been able to watch any of those pimple popping

I don't dude I don't blame me I can't do it I can't do it and they'll and then they'll very rarely but once in a while show up in my TikTok you know random stream and I'm just I can't flip fast enough right yeah just like oh you think I'll get this cyst on my bips. God's past it. We're done. We're moving on.

But, yeah, we, we, I don't know, Kroger owns something that's big here that used to be only here. And now it's all owned by Kroger. I forgot what it is.

Yeah, Kroger's, Kroger's like Walmart now. They're freaking enormous. Anyway. Huge. Huge. All right, that's it. I think, I'm sure the other stuff I can't think of it.

It's fine. Oh, my, there's a Fred and Kahn this week. It's coming out today, but it's, I got to finish, I got to finish it. I'm doing, I'm doing final color stuff today. So that'll go up shortly.

Brian, you have a song to play for us today. I have a song in my heart. Well, and it's also queued up in my library here. This one's going out to Amy Robinson. She says, hey, shoes and boots. Shoes and boots. My husband Chuck lost his job in a massive COVID-related layoff back in. November and has been searching for work ever since. To be honest, he's been working harder

at finding a job than most people work at their actual paying jobs. So it's just heartbreaking to watch him go from certainty was going to get an offer to being ghosted over the last several months. After all this searching, he just received confirmation that he's getting an offer to do really cool software work for DSW, which, as you may know, is an international chain of shoe stores. We have him here, and I've gotten shoes there. Very cool. I'm so proud of him. I'd love to playing a fitting a fitting tune. If you have a cool cover of Adam Man's Goody Two Shoes, that would be great. If possible, it would be really cool if you could play it on a Thursday because he makes

a point of listening with me on Thursdays because he loves the Wendy segment, don't we all? I hope you still like the pimple popping discussion today. Yeah. Maybe you tuned out. I don't know. I love you guys. Thanks for always making my day suck less. I can certainly see why you like it, signed Amy. I can play that. I can definitely see why you like it. There you go.

We'll take certainly. Certainly's fine. We don't, it doesn't have to be in that. Yeah. She's also, I've been greatly enjoying my Phoenix Pearl Tea and my TMS mug. Yay.

Very nice. All right. So, yeah, a cover of Goody Two Shoes. This is a really good one. This comes from a compilation that came out in 2014, about the second British invasion,

right? Your first British invasion was the Beatles and the Dave Clark Five and the Herman's Hermits and all those bands that came out then. um your second wave was the new wave of uh british um british music and adamant was part of that uh here is a cover by jim bogia and pt donnelly of goody two shoes hold on a second is that where the term new wave comes from i think so yeah new wave like new wave second wave of the british invasion i think so all this time later i've never heard i feel like i'm a dummy holy crap.

I don't, don't, you know, don't quote me on that. I could be wrong, but that's, that's how I've always understood it is that it was the wave. Wow. T. Degon says correct. I mean, he's, he's of our era. You know, that just, if that's the case, mind blown. And I feel dumb for not knowing it.

I just thought it was like, I don't know what I thought. There's guys with purple tails and, you know, flocks of seagulls on their faces and weird leather pants and lots of hair, aquanette. Yeah. That's all I can think of. What song is that? I was just singing. I was Level Teris Apart by Joy Division.

Okay, there we go. Which became New Order after the suicide of their lead singer. Oh, really? Yeah. Again. I don't know anything about nothing. My youth is just superficial. I have no knowledge of anything underneath.

All right. And they became the new order after the loss of Ian. Oh, what was the guy's name? Not Ian Hunter. Ian Curtis. Thank you, Kiwi Domo, 72. Yeah. I love New Order.

Didn't know they were connected. Yep. All right, here's that song. Sorry, everybody. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. And we will be back very soon with more. We'll see you then.
