Starting point is 00:00:16 Salacious turd and more on this episode of the morning stream. Your gift pleases Femputer. Femputer demands to know why there are men on her planet. There's no sign of anything in the desert, Batman. Man, I'd better, wait a minute, I've spotted something. This is the morning stream. Excuse me while I whip this out. Welcome everybody to the TMS show.
Starting point is 00:00:55 That's right, the morning stream. It is Wednesday, August 11, 22. 21. I'm Scott Johnson, and I'm joined today by fabulous guest host, sometimes 30 Thursday contributor, Mr. Bobby Frankenberger. Three names, right? Hello. Middle name Franken, last name burger, right? Bobby Frankenberger. It's actually five names. Nailed it. All of the syllables are separate names.
Starting point is 00:01:19 It's good to have you here, man. You guys know him from a science segment on Thursdays, and some of you are fans of his podcast as well, so you know all about Bobby. But it's great to have you here, man. Thanks for being here. it's great to be here yeah it's such a fun time already my wife and bobby are a co-host this week so look at that some of you probably at home heard the the call i had with brian yesterday good news we're going to have him on again here shortly talking about his day and his plans what happened last night the meetup and all that looked like fun i saw a picture there's like 10 people or something showed up that's pretty cool and uh he was wearing a loud shirt which is what happened last night the meetup and all that looked like fun i saw a picture there's like 10 people or something showed up that's pretty cool and uh he was wearing a loud shirt which is what How many imaginers do you think are going to be screaming? You want to take bets? How many imaginers will be screaming in the background of this?
Starting point is 00:02:04 Oh, man, that one yesterday was like, I mean, they were trying to get that crowd hyped. And I understand why you'd want that at a Disney resort. But I always feel like they're already hyped, and so you're kind of redundantly hyping them. So I've never quite understood that. Yeah, I've never been to a Disney world land and not been hyped, like in an amazing mood, you know. Yeah, that's just the, that's, I feel like, I feel like, its default status of being in a in the Disney space but uh nonetheless those people were super hyped and hey who am i to tell them how to do their jobs you know it's fine do you think they
Starting point is 00:02:40 were like whenever i hear height so they were like a hype man like they were back in the background going like yeah yeah like your flavor flaves your uh yeah the little tiny guy that went around with chris not chris rock kid rock right uh Who else? Who's another good hype man? I love a good hype man. I'm a fan of that. Especially That's the job I want. Yeah. That's my dream. That's pretty good stuff. Little John, is that a guy? Who's that? The little guy from Kid Rock? Is that who that was? He's not around no more, though. He ain't around no more. Look, I'm not talking like this just because you're from South Carolina and currently there now, but for some reason I went a little, I went a little weird. Anyway, it felt really, it was comforting. I felt at home. Did you? Good. Well, that's fantastic. So I got a story to tell that I just have to get this off my chest and then we'll probably be right around the time to talk to Brian and then we'll have some other stuff to go through today. But here's the deal. Last night, I'm sleeping. All right. Dead asleep. Went to bed a little late. Was up drawing until about midnight. And I was just having a hard time sleeping. But I was, it's fine. I knocked right off. Fell right asleep. Great. That's a good sign. 2 o'clock in the morning I hear this I hear
Starting point is 00:03:58 And I thought It was in a dream And then almost immediately I hear The exact same thing Whatever it was A little muffled Repeated again Now I'm awake
Starting point is 00:04:14 Yeah I had no idea at the time Now I'm awake And I hear it a third time And then a fourth time And I sit up on my elbows And I go What the frick is that? And I hear it again
Starting point is 00:04:24 and I think for a second it's my weird neighbor my Tesla neighbor maybe having a fight or something but it sounded like a lady's voice and they were repeating it so whatever they were saying they were repeating it in this stern
Starting point is 00:04:41 like you'd say did you go to the bar after work did you go to the bar after work like that kind of tone to it you know yeah like did you pick up the eggs I told you yeah exactly like that and I thought well this is a weird fight I don't know if I should be privy to this but also why you waking me up at two o'clock in the morning but they've done this before they were working on their car the other day Kim and I talked about it and they were banging doors all night so so it's not unlike them to sort of be up and doing something right and so I got up and I'm like listening really close and Kim at this point is now awake she's going what is that and I listen again and I hear it but I start to make out the words so it's getting closer or you're just just getting better.
Starting point is 00:05:25 I'm just getting better at discerning it. Okay, okay. And what it is, it turns out to be, it's my freaking Amazon Echo show in the kitchen. And here's what it's saying, now connected to Carter's Jim Jam. And then alternately, now disconnected from Carter's Jim Jam. Now, you might say, what is the Jim Jam? That's just the name of her phone. Absolutely my first question.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Yeah, we all name our phone something dumb. Mine's called the Duke. Kim's is called, I forget, Bubba or something. She named it after Nick, because we used to call him Bubba. And then Carter's has called her, it's her gym jam. I don't know why. It doesn't matter. But the point is like, it's, she is just far enough.
Starting point is 00:06:07 So for whatever reason, she's been Bluetooth, her phone has been Bluetooth to that show, playing music, whatever. And she didn't turn it off or whatever, but she just happens to be exactly at the right distance where it will alternately connect and disconnect because the Bluetooth is just real weak right there. because it's far away across the house. She's rolling around in the bed. Yeah, for all I know, that is actually happening. So it kept saying, now connected to Carter's Jim Jam.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Now disconnect from Carder's Jim Jam, with a little boop in between it, although we couldn't hear that very well. The dogs are losing it because they're in the room with the echo in their kennels, losing their freaking minds, all in the middle of the night. So I guess what I'm saying is, turn off your Bluetooth at night. Gosh dang it. Because we were up thinking first the neighbors, then that,
Starting point is 00:06:54 And then I kept thinking I could hear it. You know when you hear something repetitively for just too long? And now you think it's still going, kind of. But it's not. I know exactly. Do you use one of those sound, like white noise generators when you sleep? No, but I was tempted last night because, you know, I got, I got, I don't know, a half hour, 45 minutes later, and I still kind of think I'm hearing it.
Starting point is 00:07:18 I can hear the air conditioner. And then I feel like I'm hearing, like in the background somewhere. and I'm about ready to kill somebody. Oh, by the way, the way I fix this is not going to wake my daughter up because that would have been just, you know, she's not happy when she's tired. So I turned over to this other echo we have in the room.
Starting point is 00:07:38 It's like one of the old original tall ones. And I say the A word. I go, A word. And I couldn't remember the language of what you do to tell it, to tell another echo on the network to do something. Right. So I said, and then she goes, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:07:54 I don't. I'm like, hold on, I'm thinking. And then, you know, Kim's laughing. And I go, I go, I go, I finally get my, I get my bearings and I go, please turn off the echo show and disconnect Carter's Jim Jam. I think words like that. And it goes, we don't know what the hell you're talking about. And it just kept repeating it. Right. And so I finally went, oh, no, what I need to do is just turn the volume down to nothing. Who cares if it connects and disconnects all night. I don't care. But if I don't have to hear it, that's all the matter. So I said, A word, turn the echo shows volume to zero, and that did it. But then I couldn't sleep for like another hour and a half. Right. Because you're awake now. Yeah. Oh, I was so awake.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Do you ever in the middle of talking, like giving a command to your echo, realize that you've done it wrong and then start screaming at it to stop, like it's its fault? So you're like, like, you know, A word. add something to the grocery. No, stop, cancel, stop it. Yeah. And then there's that time Nick ordered a ton of toilet paper as a joke.
Starting point is 00:09:04 He thought that was hilarious. Yeah. We ended abusing it, though. It was funny because we didn't send it back. I think we got it, put it in storage. And then when the toilet paper shortage happened, we had a bunch of extra toilet paper. We did good. So Nick's joke turned into, you know, sometimes, what do you call it?
Starting point is 00:09:21 You turn water into wine? no yeah that's what the catholics do you you turn mud into the nutella i don't know how it works but anyway that's that great fruit into something nailed it what was i thinking nailed it all right i think brian might be ready for us to call yep he is so i'm gonna we're gonna add them to this and then we'll continue on our way uh he is in anaheim california in line for something and uh we're gonna find out what and where and what the hell's going on right now okay this should work. He may even be able to send us video
Starting point is 00:09:56 that we'll see in Discord and then I'll show it to the chat if he has enough bandwidth. I don't know. Yes, we're looking for a Brian Ibit. Is there a Brian Ibit there? Oh, there is a Brian Ibit here. Hello. Oh, look. You do have video. Look at this. Look at this. That's right. Look at you. Ooh. He's in Star Wars Town, Glenn.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Can you see what's behind me? Let's turn sideways. Maybe that helps. That's all perfect. That's perfect. That's perfect. That's the Millennium Falcon, as far as I can tell. It is the aluminum falcon, yes. That's awesome. Do you say Falcon? You say Falcon or Falcon? All right.
Starting point is 00:10:31 I say, well, you know, I say both. It's like data and data. It depends on what my mood is. Now, would somebody, would one of the employees or Gary or somebody there, like, chew you out for saying it wrong? Is there any kind of big, like, hard rules there about how you say Falcon or Falcon? Gary wore his Star Wars, well, his Star Trek shirt that's done the Star Wars logo. So it says Star Trek, but it's in the Star Wars logo.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Oh, yeah. So Gary can't chew anybody up for anything as far as I'm concerned. That's awesome. You don't look, it doesn't look crazy busy. It looks kind of nice. No, it's really, it's not. It's actually really nice. I've got my green milk here for a warm, warm green milk from a teat of a walrus on Octo.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Nice. Oh, you remember the plush. Look at you. Gosh, dang it. Yeah, I did. I squeezed the teat myself and then got some of my mustache. just like Luke let's see if I can find
Starting point is 00:11:26 Chewbacca was here a minute ago and I had them almost all to myself if your internet would have been good this morning like on time then we would have had a special guest Chewbacca yeah sorry about that stupid internet I'm just glad it worked
Starting point is 00:11:39 and you're coming through like crystal here this is great cool yeah good internet here's Ogs canteen this is the canteen that I sent you photos from oh yeah explain this they do alcohol now right they do alcohol now yes and lots of it like there's about uh i don't know five or six places now
Starting point is 00:11:56 in disney and california adventure where you can day drink uh get completely blasted and then puke on the person in front of you on uh california screaming nice that's great that's what you want in a uh park going experience uh look i wonder who lives up there oh yeah dude uh like a sandperson or something something's going on up right yeah exactly so let's see here called i forget are those blaster marks on the wall? Is that what that's supposed to be behind you? Probably. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's cool. Yeah. I'm pointing like that. Like, that helps. Can you speak to the authenticity of this stuff? Like, that's the other thing that really
Starting point is 00:12:33 impressed me from your photos. Does everything look legit? It is absolutely amazing. So I was talking to everybody that we had the TMS meetup last and I'll talk about that in a second. But I was saying what I thought was really amazing about this place is that it's not made up. to look like Star Wars Land. It's made that to look like a planet that would exist in the canon of the movies. So in other words, like when you look at a trash can,
Starting point is 00:12:59 there's like a trash can right there. Yeah. You can see one off in the distance. It's like a little drawing or something. It's kind of cool. Yeah, but it's not made to look like an R2D2, like an R2 unit, which is what I think other amusement parks might do, like a really cheap thing like,
Starting point is 00:13:12 oh, make it look like an R2 unit. It looks like a trash can you'd find on a distant planet. Check this up. There's like a, uh, there's all these, uh, all these things like, oh, that says crew only. I was going to say, I can probably sneak back there. Let's see what's back there. And then I saw the side that says crew only. Let me see what I can find here.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Crap, I really wish you hadn't a seen crew only. That would have been great. I know, it would have been great. Let's get tackled by the, uh, the, uh, get that on camera, baby. The Disney employees. So there's like a, uh, Kilo, uh, Kilo Renz shuttle back there. Oh, yeah, look at that. That's the coolest ship in the, in the new movies.
Starting point is 00:13:47 I love that thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but okay, so here's a good example. Like, here's just some random stuff on the wall and a weird little sort of energy device or a little... Looks like a radiator. Yeah. Radiator-looking thing.
Starting point is 00:14:04 It's even making noise. Yeah, there's a little speaker in it, and it's just making noise. And it, who knows what it does? Nobody knows what it does. See, I love that kind of. That's my favorite kind of thing about Star Wars in general. Like, when they started making things too clean in the prequels, I got pissed because I like the scruff and the gruff and the gruff and the gritty details and stuff and that seems like this place is full of that.
Starting point is 00:14:24 But like you said, who knows what it does? It might actually do something and they just dressed it up. Yeah. It might. And there's actually like if you get the app, so there's a Disneyland app, there's all of these when you find one here. That's actually right next to the men's room, so I'm not going to do that one. There's one I wrote over here. Yeah, that'll get you, that'll get you sent to the home office on Main Street there, if you're not careful. All right. So right here is a little security. panel, right? Nice.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Right here at another employee's only door. But if you get the app, you can actually interact with these things, go around and while you're waiting in line or while you're waiting for something, your mom's in the bathroom or something, you go around and turn them all to resistance to turn them all from red to blue. No way. That's cool. That's cool.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Are you getting, are there, I know this is a dumb question, but are there Pokemon inside the park there where you are? Oh, yeah, tons. I mean, there's Pokemon everywhere. But there are gyms of plenty here, and so I've actually been catching, like, doing raids. And because I'm waiting in line, it's like, all right, well, let's just, you know, catch something. And, hold on, I might be kind of noisy here. So I'm catching something when I name it after, whatever that area is.
Starting point is 00:15:38 So I have a hair across named Chippendale, because it's by the Chippendale tree. Yeah, not the strippers, but the chipmucks. Not the stripper, the Chip and Dale. tree. So here's where that's where Chubaka was at the top of that thing. Because everything is social distance, right? So he won't be down here with the Hoypiloy getting sick. He's up there
Starting point is 00:15:57 on his little platform waving down to everybody. Making himself sick in a suit that stinks and makes him human and dehydrated. Check this out. There's some some land speeders. Oh. That's cool. And it's like, you know, you can't see what's making it hover. Oh, really? That's
Starting point is 00:16:15 it's off the ground, but you can't see. it's probably that it might be that hose yeah that hose is meant to look loose and uh and not stiff but it's probably what's holding up that's that's so cool dude fix it droid back there you ever feel like just jumping the fence and like getting right up in all that stuff it's amazing it's like you know this is there's only two rides in this whole area and this whole star wars themed area but i could spend half the day here just checking everything out No, there's another random door, just to know, or who knows. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:50 I like, it's like a, what do you call it? It's world-y to have that stuff all over the place like that. Yeah. By the way, speaking of the Pokemon thing. So naturally I've got that little device that automatically spins. It stops for me, so I got it turned on while I walk around here. So it's always getting me, you know, balls and potions and stuff like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:12 So I come in and you have to go through a metal detector on your way in. And, but you're not allowed to bring vape pens or anything into Disneywads. No vaping here. Yeah. So they look down at my little Pokemon spinner thing. They say, is that a vape pen? And I said, oh, no, it's a phone charger because it does actually have a battery and charge it's a phone. And it's a Pokemon catcher.
Starting point is 00:17:36 And they go, oh, like that's worse than a vape pen. Yeah. I imagine they probably thought you were lying or something, right? or trying to tell a story. No, I think they actually genuinely believed me. Wow, that's funny. That's great. Check out this whole bazaar here.
Starting point is 00:17:55 So this is what's really cool about this. Well, it's like they've got like this little bizarre with stands and stuff like that. T-shirts like you have in Star Wars. T-shirt, yeah, exactly. Yeah, so okay. So you can't, you can't completely, you know. It's not going to be all robes. But even like inside here, you've got this little.
Starting point is 00:18:17 You've got a cage with some weird sleeping creature in it. Oh, that's cool. Those aren't porgs, right? And it moves, and, yeah, they have tons of porgs. Look at all those forks. Oh, there's porgs for days. And the little, what's his name, Salacious. Forge the plane, actually, every, every critter from the movies you could possibly imagine.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Yeah. Do they have the, what's this? I think I saw him, Salacious Turd or whatever's name is, the little. Oh, yeah, so Salacious Crump. So let's check this one out. So this one, this guy sits on your shoulder. shoulder and has a little hydraulic button system that you keep in your pocket and you make his head turn and his ears move and his mouth open and stuff like that. So he sits on your
Starting point is 00:19:00 shoulder and just like, you know, provides visual commentary. A bunch of people in the chat want to know if you're wearing any sort of sunscreen today. They want you to be safe. Yes. I'm wearing 70 SPF. All right. Good. Yes, absolutely. Good. Good. That seems good. I slathered that stuff on. As a matter of fact, I forgot to completely rub it in this morning. Yeah. That's what she said.
Starting point is 00:19:28 And I went out to Starbucks, got a drink, got a coffee, and then came back to the room and looked in the mirror, and I had a huge white glob of sunscreen like down my nose. Oh, my gosh. That I didn't rub in. And nobody told me. People at Starbucks, you know, just said, whatever. There's something about Mary moment for you there.
Starting point is 00:19:48 That's pretty good. Yes, kind of, yeah, exactly. So now this part you're at right now, this looks familiar to me. This is this outside where the thing enters? This is where you start? Sort of, yeah. So we're close to, well, there's a cool little, like a job of the hut door looking thing. That's cool.
Starting point is 00:20:04 I want to bang on it and see if, like, something sticks its head out. Yeah, the ball with a stick would come out and go, Akuta or whatever. That'll be amazing. Yes. Maybe set my drink down. It does open. There are, there are, um, it's probably like for vehicles or something. Is that?
Starting point is 00:20:18 Oh, my gosh, he banged on it. Do you happen? Did, uh, let me ask you this. Did, uh, um, the play is probably going to come out and be. Yeah, he's like, uh, are those nuggets here? What the hell? We thought we were getting nuggets. How's the food and stuff in that zone?
Starting point is 00:20:37 Like, is it edible? Like, what do you do there for food? Well, I'm drinking green milk right now. Oh, yeah, I mentioned that. Um, yeah, I mean, they keep it, you know, it's stuff like, um, Bantha Bites and, uh, Karelian space fries or something like that. I mean, I guess there's, there are a few things that they're not going to be able to completely world build with food and drink and stuff like that, but sure, um, is the drink
Starting point is 00:21:02 you're drinking? It's not, it's not spiked. It's just whatever they're, no, no, this is, uh, virgin green milk. It's like a, um, it's coconut milk with, like star fruit or something oh okay that's good good yeah so blue milk is like a blue raspberry coconut milk and that's also really good it's like a frozen blended oh it's like from from uh aunt verru herself did uh did you uh did you uh did you feel or does that drink give you the fur a little bit of front no uh no the coconut milk doesn't if it were real milk then i'd be then i'd be clear in the lines then i'd be then i'd be uh mean that six-foot distance from everybody.
Starting point is 00:21:46 That's a funny thing. So they're really strict about, like, you walk into, right now I don't have my mask on, obviously. It's the only time today I probably won't have my mask on. But you walk into any, here's a cool little outpost thing back there. Oh, that's cool. That's the entrance to the rise of the resistance, right?
Starting point is 00:22:03 I'll talk about that tomorrow on the show. But you walk into any vendor or restaurant or anything and they say, hey, please put your mask on. When you're indoors, you're supposed to have a mask on. Dang, it's the size of that thing. Do you see that? No, aim it again. It's a huge-ass bug.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Oh, it just flew by. But it was like... It's a drone. There are no such thing as bugs. It's always drones. Disney drone or something. Yeah, sir, put your blue milk away, sir. Like that.
Starting point is 00:22:30 That's right. But, um, oops, I went from vertical. Hold on. There we go. There you go. So they do that. But then when you go on a ride, especially in an indoor ride, they say, oh, please put your mask on.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Let me know if it gets too loud right here. There's a lot of spaceship noise. You're good. Okay. So when you go into a ride, they say, oh, come forward, please fill up every, fill up all the available space. So we go from, okay, wear your mask, practice good social distancing, except for right now in Haunted Mansion, when we want to pack the elevator. Yeah, they want to pack you in. when they can, but they want to do the rules when they have to, right?
Starting point is 00:23:16 That's kind of the deal. Exactly. Exactly. So how did the meetup go, by the way? Oh, yeah, look at that. Oh, it was great. So we had probably about a dozen of us. I'm going to forget some people's name.
Starting point is 00:23:30 I'm going to forget some people's name. So, but like, Gary and Leslie and Kathy Hopkins and Tom and not Tom Merritt, Tom couldn't make it. But, yeah, it was a good group. We had about a dozen of us, and we took over a small area by the Kiki Bar, and had a great time. Like, we had pretty much had this whole area,
Starting point is 00:23:55 had a whole area to ourselves. It looked great. You guys were, it's up on Facebook. If anybody wants to see, it's up in the Tadpole group, so you can go see everybody hanging out. Brian's shirt was very loud. It was very loud.
Starting point is 00:24:06 There's another loud one, but there's no hidden. There's no hidden meaning or anything? No, no Marvel or. Star Wars stuff in this one. This is just Could you apply your own meaning to it, like your own special meaning? I could. I mean, I've got a, you know, I've got Gimora, and then there's a little poo on my shirt. Oh, you got some poo on his shirt. There's my, there's some poo on my shirt.
Starting point is 00:24:27 That's adorable. Bobby, did you have, did you have any questions for Brian? I've been kind of hogging the mic here. Do you have anything you want to ask? It looks a lot bigger than I thought it would, the whole area. Yeah. Yeah, the Star Wars area is massive. It's, I would say, for a place that's only got two rides, I'd say it's, it might be the largest land of the park. Oh, I didn't know that. Adventure land, I guess, is pretty big, frontier land.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Yeah, I mean, if you count, I guess if you count what remains of Tom Sawyer's Island and stuff like that, this took up a lot of some of that frontier land area. But this feels like the biggest land in the park to me. I remember when they were working on it, and we were. I remember being there when they were like, you know, physically building it and thinking that it looked like a giant space. Like it was just going to be enormous and never done. But I guess that finally happened. It's done. Yeah, as compared to the Marvel area across the way over in California Adventure, which is a lot smaller.
Starting point is 00:25:32 A lot smaller than the some probably is the smallest area over there at California Adventure. Because they just took up the toy or the, sorry, the Bugs Loddy. thing yeah yeah yeah they took out the bugs life which wasn't very big to begin with there were you know maybe three bugs life rides and a and a movie uh interactive movie theater thing yeah um it's the only ride that made my wife sick my kim got sick on that one ride where it just does the swing out and then the kind of crossover swing whatever that was it's the only ride only ride in disneyland that made her sick for whatever reason yeah she gets motion sick and yeah thanks bugs life you're great did you so you were about to get on
Starting point is 00:26:10 something when we hung up yesterday. What ride was it? Was it the Tower of Terror? The Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout. So it's what used to be the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror re-skinned. It's the only thing I've written multiple times on this visit.
Starting point is 00:26:26 I did that thing three times yesterday. Got a different song every time. It's easily my favorite ride in the park. Yeah. You know, I forgot that the music part that they do is probably a giant draw for you, just from, you know. It is because it's all the awesome. awesome mixed stuff, but it's also, it changes what the ride does.
Starting point is 00:26:46 So it's a different experience. You get different visuals with the cast, and even the order of the drops changes because it's not just one drop, it's like drop and then rise and then drop and then rise. Don't you think it'd be better if it's named Groot Shoot? Wouldn't that be better? The Groot Shoot. Yeah, the Groot Shoot. That would be the equivalent of making your trash can look like R2D2.
Starting point is 00:27:10 that's a fair point all right well I'm stoked for tomorrow because you'll be back and we'll get to hear about it yeah I'll have a bunch of stories yeah it'll be great and I'm you seem like you're just having a great time okay here's something that Missoula said and it seems like you would agree and I think I'm kind of going down this path too solo trip to Disneyland might be the
Starting point is 00:27:30 the best way to go like yes and no I mean I you know every time I'm on a ride I'm like oh I wish Tristan or Tina we're here but but there is absolutely something to that there's something to be said for you know what I feel like
Starting point is 00:27:47 on a mansion boom let's go to haunted mansion and you don't have to wait for somebody to go to the bathroom or like well no I want to do I want to climb the Tarzan tree house or you know some garbage like that right or if you're not you feel like man I just rode that too many times I'm a little weege queasy
Starting point is 00:28:04 you get to take time out but you're not making anyone else wait So it's nice little thing, yeah. I think that sounds all right. All right. Well, tomorrow we'll go into major depth on what happens today and all that. But I'm glad you're having fun, man. It looks like a blast. Yeah, definitely having a blast.
Starting point is 00:28:20 I needed this. You need this trip. Yeah. Sometimes you need a trip, you know? I'm going to get the H out. I'm just glowing from the, from all the sunstreet. It's, you know, it says it's 75 degrees out here, and it feels like it's 98, Colorado degrees.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Oh, yeah. Well, it's a little more humid, right? You got the humidity there a little bit. Right. Not too bad a little. Yeah, for sure. All right, Brian, be safe and keep your GoPro in your pants or whatever. I don't know what that is.
Starting point is 00:28:50 We'll see you tomorrow. Well, there he goes. Well, that was fun. Yeah. Look at that. You guys just got a VIP walkthrough of Star Wars Town land. Wait, what's it called? He convinced me to do that, that Guardians of the Galaxy ride.
Starting point is 00:29:06 because I also don't like drop rides. Yeah, I don't either. Like he said he doesn't, but he said he likes that a lot. Yeah, I think that one is a cut above, given the the theming and everything. That'd be great. They should now make, six flags or whoever should make an equivalent, since James Gunn made the new suicide squad. They should make an equivalent of that ride, but have more blood and swears in it. That's what they should do.
Starting point is 00:29:35 They can call it the suicide ride. Hey, look at that. It rhymed and everything. Oh, I don't know if that would go over well. Suicide ride seems bad, maybe, from a PR perspective. Anyway, hey, we need your help, listeners. Why? Because I'm doing something.
Starting point is 00:29:54 And the other day I was thinking, man, I could just make this up on my own again. And me and Brian could put our heads together and come up with it. But then I thought, it might be fun to get ideas from the listeners. What am I talking about? Well, our new mug. we're making a new one and we always have these mugs for like big points in the show the last one we did was for episode 200 or 2000 so the tms mug that went out says tms the morning stream 2000 plus established 2011 on one side on the other side it said i can definitely see why you like it so we used a you know one of our meany lines that we've had on the show so we need a new mug and i've made a form to take your concepts and ideas and uh put them on the web. Super simple. Really, really easy. Here's the website. Frogpants.com slash mug. I couldn't have made it more simple. Frogpants.com slash mug is the address. Chat, I'm
Starting point is 00:30:46 going to give that to you right now. I just copied it. We're going to paste it. For those at home, just go to frogpants.com slash mug and enter anything you think would be good. Funny, referential to the show preferably. It doesn't have to be, though. If it's something you've just come up with, we'll consider it. We just want to include your ideas with ours. And If we choose one of you, the person who got it that we picked will get one of these mugs for free anyway, just for their time. And everyone else who did it and didn't win will get precisely nothing. Okay? That's how it will work.
Starting point is 00:31:19 That's how it will be. I'll give you guys a free one. Anybody can put this one in. It should say, I like coffee beans. That's not bad. See? Look, Bobby's already got a better idea than I've even had so far. So be quick about it.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Well, you don't have to be that quick. We're not going to, there's no limit on this. I think we'll probably just look at them in a couple of weeks and decide. But we want to get these going, get them up on the store. It's one of our favorite things. And a lot of people really like these mugs. And they're all asking, hey, when's the next big thing happening? Well, I can tell you, we're at 2158.
Starting point is 00:31:52 We were thinking about like 2,200 as the commemorative number. But on the back, it matters what we say, man. you can enter more than once if you want just refresh the page after you're done it'll give you more options or more times if you want to do it I'm not really set up to take more than one during the first entry but as Kit Lennon asked in the chat can you do it only once?
Starting point is 00:32:15 No, you can do as many times as you want all right head on over to frogpants.com slash mug all right Bobby how'd your no kid vacation adventure business go? Oh yeah so yeah this weekend I we dropped the kids off at the grandparents' house
Starting point is 00:32:32 right before they're about to start school and we were like we're gonna send them away for a week and have for the first time in forever some time to ourselves which is good
Starting point is 00:32:44 which is great for me because it's kind of like kicking off my my youngest daughter's five and so she's starting kindergarten so she hasn't been in school yet so this is the first time since my eight year old was born that I will
Starting point is 00:32:59 have any time free, like on a regular basis during the first half of every day, because they're both in school now. And so this, we sent them away for a week to sort of like kick off my celebrate. It's not really for that reason. We're not just trying to get rid of our kids. I totally feel yeah. I get it. It's easy to, it's easy for it to sound like that, but I know exactly what you're saying. Well, we were already, well, of course, we do, we do like to have time to ourselves, but we were already planning on going to GenCon during this week. which is in beginning of August every year. But then, of course, you know,
Starting point is 00:33:34 the virus got bad again. Is it, they're not doing it because of that or what? They are doing it, but we're sure is hell dot going. Yeah. They are doing it. I've got too many friends with like kids under 12 that are in hospitals or on stuff right now. And that, that delta thing seems like it doesn't care how old you are. That thing's bad.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Yeah. It's, it's not giving a lot of, doesn't give a crap for your vaccines, it seems. But yeah, so we kicked it off by spending a weekend in Charleston, downtown Charleston in South Carolina here. And we like to go to do fancy stuff. We splurge and stay at like really fancy hotels and go to fancy restaurants when we go on vacation and everything. And the first night while we were waiting there, we went to this like five-star restaurant. They had this, I looked at the dessert menu when we were done. They had this, to give you a sense of the type of restaurant we were at,
Starting point is 00:34:32 they had this shot of, you could buy with your dessert a shot of cognac, Louis the 13th, Cognac. It's $280 a shot of alchol. Yeah, no is the answer is no. I asked the waiter if anybody ever gets it, and they said usually once a night, which is way more than I thought. Yeah, I would have thought that was like, you know, Oh, this is a rare Kobe beef cut that's from the first cow ever made.
Starting point is 00:35:01 And it's $3,000 an ounce. And it's like once a year, a billionaire will buy it or something. Yeah, they did have a Wagyu steak on special that they tried to sell us. It was like $200 or something. That's so good, though, man. Oh, man, it's good. I bet it would have been, but we like to splurge, but not that much. Yeah, that's a lot.
Starting point is 00:35:24 You can actually get some pretty good wagu beef on your own and cook it, make your own. Yeah, yeah. I had duck for the first time. That was really good. Yeah, duck is oily, but pretty good. Yeah. I always found it to be when I was younger off pudding because it was like eating grease, greased up chicken or something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Yeah. It's like really, it's like not fatty in the way that you would chew up. Like there's not like chunks of fat that you're chewing up, but really fatty and moist, dark. meat like darker than the dark meat chicken you have like a really good uh dark meat turkey that's been brined for a day like where you've really just like soften the meat up with some kind of goo you know right this is not a culinary term i'm using here but uh you know what i mean uh and it is very rich red fraggle's right it's like a very very flavory yeah so so we were there and our reservation was at nine 50 we couldn't get anything earlier we had to wait
Starting point is 00:36:24 till 9.15 to eat. We're old people now. So, we like to eat at like five. Sure. Sure. I feel you. I'll do that. So we were like, man, that's going to be late. We got to go somewhere and like pregame our dinner. We went to some other restaurant
Starting point is 00:36:42 and got an appetizer and had unfortunately I had I was like, well, it's a long time till dinner. I'm going to have a couple of beers. So I got and I was on an empty stomach. I was kind of a little tipsy when I got to the restaurant which was
Starting point is 00:36:58 turned out to, that's a different story, but it turned out to be a bad idea because I didn't have a great night. But at some point, I was like, well, we'll just have like a glass of wine and then my wife convinced me to get us a whole bottle, so it was a whole thing. Sounds like a party, man.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Yeah, well, I went to the, at one point, I went to go to the bathroom And, and, you know, I already have like a social anxiety issue. Sure, sure. And so COVID has made, for me and many people, has made that kind of worse. Oh, it jacked it way up for people of social anxiety. Yeah. So I went to the bathroom and it was empty and I was like, good, okay, fine.
Starting point is 00:37:45 I'm just going to go to the bathroom. I was at the urinal and some guy, there's two urinals. Look at me telling a bathroom story. TMS. This has never happened before. Hey, someone just called you a kid, by the way, in the chat room. I like that. That must be cool. Look at this. He says, just figured out why this kid looks familiar. He resembles a young George Lucas. I get that a lot, actually.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Yeah. You do, actually. You could do it. You could put on some plaid. You're wearing plaid now. So, all you got to do is show up somewhere, I don't know, I don't have to do much. And just talk, change your voice and go, yeah, so what do you think about it? Like that. You got to go like that. Yeah. All right. I'll have to. That's what I'll do when I go to Star Wars land as all cosplay is jerkily.
Starting point is 00:38:27 That'd be amazing. Except people would be like, wait, that's him in the 70s. Where is he now? Where's the waddle? Anyway. Sorry, we interrupted. You were, you were dead. Yeah, so I'm in the bathroom and some person comes in and they're standing behind me.
Starting point is 00:38:40 There's two urinals, but they're standing behind me waiting. I guess they were waiting. I guess they were social distancing, is my guess. They didn't want to stand next to me, which is fine. That's great. But I started to get like that that anxiety dread because there's somebody like standing behind me. Like you're trying to like you feel like you got a hurry now because there's somebody. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:39:02 So I'm like, okay, I'm going to finish up. I'm going to go. And so like, I'm already like, oh, God, what's going on? Why is he standing behind me? Okay, he's probably doing this. But was he watching me pee? I don't know. And so I go to the sink.
Starting point is 00:39:13 I'm washing my hands like you do. And then and then he comes up to the sink. So, and then so, so I'm like, okay, I got to get out of here because this person, I don't know if this is what's going on. This is drunk anxiety brain, by the way. Sure, you got to keep that in mind. So I go to wash my hands, and this is a fancy restaurant. They don't have like the blow dryers, you know? Like, you don't have any of that at one of these places.
Starting point is 00:39:41 So I'm looking around for a towel or something. So I grab the first thing I see right in front of me. And it turns out to be, it turns out to be. it turns out to be a tissue box. Oh, I was afraid you're going to say it's some guy's t-shirt stand next to me. Oops. No, but if you've ever tried to dry your hands with a tissue, it's not, it doesn't work. No, it's a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:40:00 No, it's bad. It's lint and fragments of tissue everywhere. And it doesn't hold a lot of water. So I had to, instead of like, once I realized that, instead of looking around for a proper, you know, like hand-drying implement, I realized, oh, I just grabbed a tissue. I washed my hands. This guy who's been watching me the whole time saw me do such a dumb thing. And instead of correcting the behavior, I just had, I committed.
Starting point is 00:40:28 I was like, I'm just going to grab all this. Go all in. So I just acted like, this is just what I do. I just dry my hands with tissues. So I just like started grabbing more and more and more. I had like six or seven tissues by the end of it. I'm drying my hand. There's like, it's turned into like a soggy, sopping wet mess in my hands, you know?
Starting point is 00:40:47 and I turn around and I just kind of like look at him and I go hey how's it going and I jump it into the trash can and I walk out that's great that's great I feel like we've all been there in some form or another but TBZGon says it best you commit to the bit well done that's exactly I learned from A&TP to commit to the bit always commit to the bit but also this weekend the other great thing that happened this weekend was I got to fly a plane Whoa, shut up. Yeah. Like a plane plane, like sitting in the cockpit and like flying an actual aerodynamic.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Yeah, it was like a four-seater aeroplane. What? Did you really? How did this happen? Yeah. So I've been playing a lot of Microsoft Flight Simulator lately. Well, I've always been, um, that's a weird way to start this story. Sure.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Then you're qualified. You're automatically qualified. You've been playing Microsoft Flight Simulator on an Xbox or a PC. Congratulations. I told the pilot that I met randomly. been playing Microsoft Flight Simulator. He said, here you go. Here's the keys to my plane. I work for Delta. You now have a job. Welcome to the company. Exactly. Right. So, no, I, I've always wanted to learn how to fly. And so I've been, and Microsoft Flight Simulator, by all accounts, is a very good simulation. I now know that that's true. But a friend of mine, who we're going to see this weekend, she, her boyfriend, her is a pilot. He has been since he was a really long time, since he was young. sure um and uh i've only met this guy once uh but she's an old high school friend of mine so
Starting point is 00:42:19 we've known her for a really long time and i was just joking with her i was like hey is is will going to be that's his name i said it will going to be there um because i've been playing a lot of microsoft flight simulator i got questions for him like i want to annoy him with some questions that's what i told her and i guess she thought that was funny and screenshoted our conversation and sent it to him and then she said to me hey i sent him what you told me and he said i should take bobby up in the plane and i was like wow that's amazing but i just figured he's going to fly me he's just
Starting point is 00:42:49 we're going to get in his plane sure and we're going to go for a flight around the charleston harbor area and that that'll be fun so that's what i'm lovely sure yeah yeah um so me and and him and and stephan my wife and uh and our friend we all get in the plane and we're up there and he takes off he's telling me all about the instruments and and what you look for and and how you do everything you know like oh you got to use these rudder pedals to break and you know you check your heading you know all the things and so he takes off
Starting point is 00:43:18 and we get up to altitude and uh and then it's not one of these planes that has a co-pilot's like you're sitting next to each other but in a plane where there's an intended co-pilot usually you have two yokes one for each person this one doesn't have that because it's not it's more intended just to take passengers and stuff so he's got one but what i didn't realize was that you can um it's going to be hard to describe this, but you can like swivel it around to the other side to the person sitting next to you. And I didn't know that. So we're up there. And he gets up to altitude. He levels it out. And then he just like, unlocks it, flips it over to me. And he's like, here you go. Holy shit. And I was like, whoa. And I panicked for a second because I'm like,
Starting point is 00:44:03 what's going on? And so then I start flying it. And at first I thought like he was just going to, I've just figured he's like, here, you can hold the, the, the, yoke and keep us level and and pretend like you're flying i kind of figured it was going to be that but no for like 25 or 30 minutes he let me fly all the way around and turn and climb and descend and all this kind of stuff do you have the bug now do you feel like you want to like i don't know go all absolutely i already started this is true i already started like looking up planes for sale and sending pictures screenshots to my wife like hey look this one's uh only you know 50 000 dollars uh wow that's fantastic, dude. Very cool.
Starting point is 00:44:44 I've never had anything close to that. It was probably the highlight of my I don't know how many years. It was amazing. But I've any doubt that I had about wanting to take lessons to become a, like get a private pilot's
Starting point is 00:45:00 license, they were dashed. Like I am on that track. Eventually I will be Oh, that's super interesting. I've decided. My brother used to do this. My older brother, Mark, used to fly small plane. and had like all the, he was doing all the classes and then had like the early licensed stuff where you could do certain amounts of time, but you had somebody with you or
Starting point is 00:45:20 whatever. And then at some point, he just stopped doing that and instead now rides in those little, like, it's like a chair attached to a hang glider with a motor. What are those called? Oh, just, you see them. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, and there's, and a lot of places they're illegal, you have to, you know, no ultralights. Is that what they're called gyrocopters kind of like that and you don't need a pilot's license for ultralights i don't think yeah so he just suddenly just went all in on that and gave up on the pilot thing and i think it was because he was like all right this is really expensive that i'm doing over here and all i really care about is getting in the air and hanging around around up there so i'll just do this weird thing over here
Starting point is 00:45:59 that somebody could shoot me out of the sky with with their freaking pellet gun and i'll go do that right it is very expensive yeah he loves that stuff there's a place here you can do it but you have to be really careful because just over a little bit further toward town, it's suddenly illegal. Like there's some kind of dividing line. I don't know what it is. It can't anything. And as soon as you cross it, you're like in huge trouble. But if you don't cross it, you're totally fine. They don't care. Is it because of a military base or something? I don't know, actually. It's really weird. Or it's some kind of ordinance. Maybe it's a noise ordinance because you're starting to get into these very rich neighborhoods on that end of the valley. It could be that. I don't know. Seems like
Starting point is 00:46:37 money makes things happen. But it's the one where famously this local dingus who used to sell computers, his name was Dale Chonsie. We've told whole stories about this dude on the show before, but the short of it was, he's a total weenie. But he was up in the air one of these days with this thing, and he saw some eagle or something and decided to ram it and punch it. And it turns out that bird is like super protected, like major, what do you call it,
Starting point is 00:47:07 on the list, the extinction list? No, the president, whatever it is. So he got in huge trouble for that and then fought it. He's a total psycho. He's got too many guns. People should have him on a list. They probably do. Anyway, so there's that.
Starting point is 00:47:20 That's a fun story, and I'm glad you're a pilot now. Congratulations. Welcome to the United Family. I'm officially a pilot. Yeah. On your next Southwest flight, check for me in the cockpit. And then listen to the news. Hey, we're going to do some news.
Starting point is 00:47:34 It's brought to you by Bobby Science Show, which I thought I'd let Bobby talk about it so people can learn more about it if you haven't heard about it. Bobby, tell me all about all around science. Yeah, you know, if you are a fan of science, or even if you have just what I would call a cocktail party interest in things sciencey, we talk about science every week, and we try to do it in a way that is not pejorative. Is the word pejorative, pejorative in of itself? No, no. Is it making...
Starting point is 00:48:04 I think it hasn't yet crossed that. I think you're safe. I think you're good. We like to do it in a way that's not, that doesn't talk down to people and we really like people to understand what we're talking about and just understand science, even the basic stuff. And we just get really excited about it. Every week we talk about some news and some other thing this past Monday.
Starting point is 00:48:26 We talked about neurotransmitters. We probably got some things wrong because we are not expert science. So people who, you know, listen, email us and tell us how we got it wrong. But we talk about neurotransmitters in this last episode and we talk about COVID every once in a while and all kinds of things that are going on in science. I'm sorry, I got to give a shout out to Sidion, who sometimes says the funniest things in our chat. He says, science isn't a front to the sky wizard is my favorite line ever all day. That's great. That is.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Thank you, Cidion. Well, awesome. Go check it out. It's, of course, at All Around Science. com. I just showed the chat room what that looks like, and you can go check it out today. All right, let's get through a couple of these stories here today. This is a weird one. I don't know why I chose this.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Hey, whatever. They're all kind of science-related today, so sort of. So here's this one. I think I know exactly why you picked this one. I really don't know, but a man learned that he could suck water up into his anus and then turned it into a career. Now, this isn't recent, all right? this is something from a while ago, we'll get to that. In Spider-Man, for example,
Starting point is 00:49:35 a young Peter Parker is given superpowers by a radioactor of Spider-Bite and decides to fight crime. In Daredevil, a little comic history, a young Matt Murdoch gets covered in radioactive material and developed supersonic senses, also deciding to fight crime. In the 19th century France, a young Joseph Pujol,
Starting point is 00:49:52 I don't know how he said, was taking a swim when he realized he could inhale vast amounts of water through his anus. Eventually, I have a great clip with that. Where is that? Hold on. Sorry, it just reminded me of it, and now I'm going to play it, because it makes me laugh.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Not the anus is a useful thing indeed, although we could do that. Here it is. You waxed your anus. No, that's not it. If I had an anus. No. This is your anus.
Starting point is 00:50:22 There you go, anus. There it is. Yeah. You anus? All right, I have a lot of those. Anyway. Big shock. Scott's got a bunch of anus clips. So he did this, and then he realized he could do it,
Starting point is 00:50:38 and then eventually he turned it into a hit stage show at the Moulin Rouge under the name Le Petomaine, which is The Fartomatic, if you translate it. That's pretty great. Every word of this opening paragraph gets better and better. Yeah, it's really well written. We don't always get these on the show. It's extremely well written. This is on ifscience.com, by the way.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Sorry, IFL science, not if science. He was born in 1857. He discovered his superpower a little bit later in school at the age of 10. Let's see. He didn't like water back then, but then the boy mentioned the incident to his family because he was leaking water. They told him it was nothing to be concerned about and didn't contact the Avengers, says this writer. For a time, he forgot his skill.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Years later, however, he recounted the antidote to his friends, of the French army. He decided to try it once more, with his friends gathered around, presumably, resigned to the fact, sorry, at that the dinner party didn't quite have the original classy tone that they had intended. He placed his anus below the surface of some water and sucked it all in. The rest is history. He made himself a great stage show, and it's an amazing, it's an amazing story. Now, the Moulon Rouge didn't have, they didn't have this reference in the film, did they? They didn't talk about it. I don't remember that part of Moulon Rouge where they were squirting water out of anus, bringing in like the kitty pool so that you could stick your, dip your butt in. Huge fan of Moulon Rouge. No zero complaints for me about that film, but it does seem like they missed an opportunity if they didn't talk to or have the anus sucker on display at some point.
Starting point is 00:52:20 They didn't do it. Yeah, no kidding. So part of the article says that he actually went to, he was concerned about it and went to the doctor. and I just wonder and like mentioned this and I just think about like when you go to the doctor you know and you're waiting for the doctor the nurse is in there first and they're like the nurse always says like okay well do you have any questions for the doctor yeah and it's like well now that you mention it yeah now that you mention it I'm I'm holding two gallons of water right now and I'd really like to discuss it yeah it holds two it said two liters a two liter bottle of soda yeah
Starting point is 00:52:57 This guy could suck into his butt. Yeah, less of a colon, more of a condominium, if you know what I'm saying. All right, moving on. Hey, let's do this story about iPads. I like this. Brittany Spears, you know, hit me maybe one more time and all that. You know, you know who she is. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:15 She just bought her first ever iPad, and she's super stoked about it. Now, you might say, what? That's weird. She's a loaded singer. What do you mean? You know, why is this even a story? Well, it's a story because she's not allowed to buy her own stuff. Brittany Spears has a...
Starting point is 00:53:30 This is a kind of funny, weird, lighthearted story with a really dark underbelly. Yeah, that conservatorship stuff is shitty, man. Like, it's bad. And I don't understand how it's at all, legal at all. Well, the reason, I don't know how it's legal in her case. But the reason that it exists in California, I don't know what other states have things like this, but the reason it exists in California is for people who might have dementia or some other thing, some other situation where you would be
Starting point is 00:54:08 concerned about them making decisions on their own because they're not of the right state of mind or something like that. And you can imagine like someone in late stages of dementia of being concerned about that. I can see that. This is effed. This is like loophole city. man like like i get it if somebody let's say yeah like you just described somebody's in their 80s they're they're in late stage dementia they can't control any of the stuff they have to do you come in and you and you say all right well my son's going to do it or or the son says we have to do this like what else we're going to do we got to help them i get it but this is a guy who clearly just took control of his very talented daughter's career for the money and just held on to it
Starting point is 00:54:55 It's horrendous. It's horrendous. And I'm not even like, like, it's easy to see this on the surface and go, rich people on their problems. But it's far, it's got far-reaching implications, and they can't be the only case.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Like, there's no way. The fact that this can be done at all and that it, because this happened in, what, like 2008, I think is when this conservatorship started. And so, like, there's been court cases,
Starting point is 00:55:25 recently. I think it's actually set to end in September after finally years and years of battling it in court and everything there's a whole documentary about it now. I haven't seen it. I didn't want to do either. I felt like I was going to be sad if I did. I didn't. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Because I know that in South Carolina, for example, you can and there's lots of states that are like this, you can have somebody committed by the state if there, if something, if some If they're having like a mental health, an acute mental health problem, you might, you might have them committed, sent to wherever, a mental, a hospital to deal with that.
Starting point is 00:56:08 But this seems like it goes above and beyond that. It's like, not only are you going to be sent to this hospital to be treated against your will because of some acute thing that's happening. But now you don't have any control over anything for, what, more than 10 years now, 13 years? Yeah, no, I agree. Talley mentions that's that movie I Care a Lot, the Netflix movie. Yeah. Kind of has that, I mean, that's a pretty dark. That movie's meant to be funny, but also dark at the same time.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Right. But it deals with the same idea. It's like having somebody swoop in and just, by the law, take over your shit, but not have to really prove out why or what. It's really, it's just deft up, man. I don't like it. But really, congratulations on your first. I think that's great, dude.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Have a party. Go for it. She has two kids and they both have them and she talks in the story about how, you know, she was always jealous and now she's got one and, hey, that's great. I think that's awesome. Quentin Tarantino in the news. You may know him from such films as Reservoir Dogs. I like Feet and other movies. Hateful Eighthate.
Starting point is 00:57:17 Hateful Eight and then Toes are the best. That's my favorite. All of those movies you just listed are real and they exist. Yeah, the magic of feet is his new one. That's still a couple of years out, though. But watch for that. Anyway. Just started filming.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Quentin Tarantino fulfills his childhood promise of never giving, this kind of related story, never giving his mom a penny from his fortune. Not a dime. Here's how this story goes. Quentin Tarantino's keeping a promise he made to himself when he was 12 years old. Hollywood director who is worth an estimated $120 million has stuck to his vow of never giving his mother a penny from his fortune after she be, belittled his writing and filmmaking dreams when he was a kid. The 58-year-old man made the reveal on an episode of Audacity's The Moment podcast.
Starting point is 00:58:05 I'm sorry, odyses, not Audacities. I don't know who that is. Who is that? Odyssey. It's spelled really stupid. Yeah, I don't like it. You can't be faulted this time. Yeah, I feel like saying audacity.
Starting point is 00:58:17 It's spelled audacity without the IT. Yeah, it looks like misspelled audacity is what that looks like. Anyway, the moment is the name of the podcast. he recalled being reprimanded for being or for writing screenplays in school. The director told the host Billions co-creator Brian Copelman that his teachers believe that his decision to focus on his writing rather than his schoolwork was a defiant act of rebellion. Well, of course, you'd say that at the time. That's what you do when kids are rebelling. But sometimes they're...
Starting point is 00:58:45 Yeah, sometimes they're actually going to be worth $120 million one day. Anyway, says my mom had always had a hard time with my scholastic non-ability. Boy, this sounds familiar. This was me in high school. I was so bad. Then in the middle of her tirade, he says, or she said, oh, and by the way, this little writing career with the finger quotes and everything, this little writing career that you're doing,
Starting point is 00:59:06 that shit is effing over, she said. The director recalled being triggered by those words. Boy, that word trigger is very triggering these days. Yeah, it is a triggering trigger. Yeah. Let's see. Then or when she said that she meant it in sarcastic way, I was in my head and I go,
Starting point is 00:59:24 okay lady then when I become successful writer you will never see a penny from my success there'll be no house for you no vacation for you no Elvis Cadillac for mom you get nothing because you said that and he says he's done it now if he's clearly matured since then yeah clearly a lot of maturation has settled in I feel like um I feel like if it were me I'd rub it in her face plenty probably but I would try to do it in a fun way and I would and I would try to I would try to I would forgive and forget and understand that parents don't know everything. Like, it's okay. How many, how many, what do you like, Oscars?
Starting point is 01:00:02 Has he's, he's an Oscar winner? How many has, oh yeah, Best Director, many nominations, writing, best screenplay for, oh, geez, let's see, Tarantino Awards. There are many of them. It's a long line of deals. Okay, here we go. You're ready?
Starting point is 01:00:19 I'll give them to you right now. nominee 2020 for Best Most in Picture of the Year Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Best Achievement and Directing Once Upon in Hollywood And Best Original Screenplay Once Upon Time in Hollywood All of those were nominations
Starting point is 01:00:35 Winner in 2013 for Best Writing Original Screenplay for Django Unchained He was a nominee in 2010 for Inglorious Bastards writing, directing, and screenplay 95 was the winner for writing, screenplay and direction or sorry screenplay for Pulp Fiction and a nominee for Best Director
Starting point is 01:00:56 for Pulp Fiction which is you know obviously his giant breakout and then a bunch of uh let's see oh he directed an episode of he directed an episode of CSI yeah CSI that got a nomination for prime time Emmy that's cool I didn't know that anyway
Starting point is 01:01:14 Poppin Klein says forgive and forget but belittle along the way I think that's exactly what you're saying and what I would do too. Like, I asked about the Oscars because I feel like I'd invite Mom over and I'd be like dusting the Oscar shelf. Yeah. And I'd be like, oh, oh, look at all these Oscars that this terrible, non-scholastic ability student has to move out of the way.
Starting point is 01:01:41 And whatever will I do with these? They just collect dust all the time. Yeah, no, I agree. um here's the thing my opinion is his best movie is hateful eight but no one ever agrees with me so i can't win that argument with people i love hateful eight that's a good good love it man i love it and you know what i love even more i love the way netflix now has it permanently and broken up into four chunks like a miniseries oh they do that it's already a long movie he added in a bunch of cut stuff directors cut stuff right and then they separated it it's already a long movie it's like a
Starting point is 01:02:15 three-hour movie, but now it's like a four-hour miniseries, basically. And it's perfect in those pieces. Like the way that they bookend it, it's really well done. Damn, it's good. Oh my gosh. Hateful eight, you guys. It's not for everybody, mind you. But you want to see some
Starting point is 01:02:31 I can't think of his name. Played, he was on Justified. That's wrong with me. Amazing actor. He was Shane on The Shield. Help me. Help me. Not Kurt Russell.
Starting point is 01:02:45 Goggins. There you go. Walton Gaggins, who's also in Django and Chained. He's amazing in hateful 8. Amazing. Oh my lord. I want to watch it right now. All right. Uh, that's your, that's your news. And a quick note before we get out of here. It's a short day, guys. We don't have no guests today. All right. It's like Monday. Guests are taking a break. We're giving them a little time off. And that's okay, because we're about as long as the show runs anyway. Our walkthrough of Disneyland made things seem, you know, this may have seemed short to some of you, but we're literally almost at time. Anyway, I want to remind you about that mug thing.
Starting point is 01:03:22 We really want to use you and your concepts and ideas over at frogpans.com slash store. That's frogpans.com slash s, T-O-R-E. Or no, that's not right. Why am I telling you that? That's frogpans.com slash mug, all right? The other thing I wanted to tell you about is the broken hearthstone thing is still in full effect. We've gotten a tonne already. We already know what the major donations are going to be.
Starting point is 01:03:46 We're already fulfilling orders for the merch. We're being fully 100% transparent about this because that's how I want to be with stuff like this. But if you want to give to some great organizations and also get a cool t-shirt in the process, that's what this is about. For example, if you get the No Way Home T-shirt, which features the broken hearth stone on the chest and the words No Way Home, art by me, you can give the donation. A limited profits from that can go to Black Girls Code, rain, or women in Games International. All three are amazing places to give and help. If you want to do something serious toward helping people when it deals with sexual assault or violence against women or women in the workplace, these are all amazing places to do it.
Starting point is 01:04:34 And what's crazy is we're looking at the number so far, and it's pretty evenly spaced. Like all three are getting basically a third so far, which is. which is pretty awesome. I didn't expect that. And in some people, and I know a few of you've been doing this, you've gone in and done, you know, gotten a different item and then, you know, did it separately so each one went to a different organization,
Starting point is 01:04:55 which is really cool. But anyway, you can go find it now. There's T-shirt, stickers, buttons, print, possibly some, we're thinking about doing some mouse mats at one point. I'm not sure when that's going to happen. But anyway, all the profits 100%, none of it goes to me, all of it goes, to these great organizations
Starting point is 01:05:13 and is a good cathartic way of dealing with all that blizzard crap. So if you're interested, go check it out. Frogpants.com slash store. All right. I think that's it. Bobby, before we go, give the folks another ring of ding on where they can find more Bobby.

That's what I, read about all the time in my free time and I love explaining science to people and communicating that because it's not as complicated as people think. I mean, it's very complicated, but you can

Starting point is 01:06:22 Yeah, walking through the neighborhood, sweaty. Yeah, because it's humid there. It's freaking South Carolina. It's the devil's armpit. So watch for that. That's good stuff. That's going to do it for everything. I'm trying to think there's anything else going on.
