Welcome back to TMS, everybody. It is the morning stream for Tuesday, August 17th, 2021. I'm Scott Johnson. He is Brian Ibbott. Good morning, Brian. Good morning, Scott. I'm hungry now because our pre-show was talking about food. That's right.

We talked about a potato cake. Potato cake. I think it is called the box-ty. B-O-X-T-Y. The box-ty. Okay. Oxty. It is a shredded. So you take shredded potatoes and mashed potatoes, and you mix them together. I don't know what else you put in there. I assume you cook the outside, right? Kind of hash brown style outside to it or something?

Yeah, right. Like exactly, you fry it in a pan and let's see here. Finely grated raw potato and flour. Starch City, man. yeah there's nothing uh there's nothing low fat about that description no exactly my god but look when in ireland you gotta do what you do it's fine yeah exactly i really am curious about your um your blood pudding business you gotta like we're gonna have to have a phone call that night or next day or something

and just talk about how that was because that's gonna be you know i mean you're gonna be you're gonna do it because it's the thing to do while you're over there but if i had a prediction you're gonna have a hard time separating the idea that there's like cow blood in there while you're sure oh i'm sure yeah you might like it maybe you'll crave it fortnight i might like it i like sausage uh boy there's no way to take that out of context and use that in a mashup is there nope nope 100% sure that won't show up in a mashup uh you're safe you're safe here brian it's

all safe here well anyway uh yeah exciting stuff the food is uh you know it's a traditional place with traditional food and uh you can wash it all down with traditional whiskey or whatever they do over there to get drunk. Or Guinness or Murphys. Yeah. Yeah. They got the Lucky Charms. They got...

Right. Yes. Lucky. Yes. The traditional Irish Lucky Charms. That'd be great if I go to one of these Ben breakfast and says, oh, yes. In the morning, we serve you a full Irish breakfast. And it's a bowl of Lucky Charms.

That'd be the best. And then you could say, wait, I was told this is only part of a nutritional, a complete nutritional breakfast. That's right. Where's the orange juice? the toast and uh the five other food items yeah full balanced breakfast that like it would take five people to eat in those commercials oh they were we were so dumb when we were kids we just saw the cereal but really they were they were covering their butts they were like yeah you're not

going to be healthy as you eat all this other stuff um well anyway it's good uh we're working toward it it's in a few weeks a couple weeks uh before we're leaving two weeks two weeks all right so I got a, we need to take a look at the... Provided the world stays same. Yeah, that's important. Oh, we're getting out the dream box. All right, good deal, the dream cards. All right, dream cards.

We've got a whole deck here. Now, here's the problem. I don't know if this fits any of these. Here's the description of the dream. And then you can, I don't know, you can tell me if any of these fit. It's a lot of cards. I probably can't go through them all. So I'm doing this dream.

And in this dream, I'm doing this dream. Like, it's something I control. I'm doing this dream. Yeah, I got this dream going. going and in it the main focus feature of the dream was Stephen Schlecker Monday's Stephen Schlecker

Major Spoilers.com Stephen Schlecker is on the lamb. There's a massive manhunt and for some reason I'm in charge of it and I don't know why I'm in charge of it but we're on a manhunt for Stephen Schleiker who was last seen fleeing in a van full of kids

that he had kidnapped from all of us, all of our kids were in this van and my kids were younger in the dream you were in it and Tristan was younger and was in the van. Yeah, he must have been, yeah.

Almost, I felt like almost everybody I knew, at least the dream felt that way. Now that I think about, I can only remember maybe three people, you, Kim was in it, and maybe well, other than Stephen, I mean. Oh, for some reason Tom was in it and he had kids and I don't know what that's up.

To talk to him separately about that weirdness because he has no children. But anyway, the point is that he knows. that he knows of right he's had you know he's been places he's done stuff so so a whole bunch of kids across the country that no tech back and forth and uh oh that's right and they love they can they talk to each other about a uh cryptocurrency and that's right yeah all they do is just hop on red it and talk cryptocurrency to each other yeah they argue about why sci-fi's better than fantasy that sort of

stuff anyway so i don't understand what happened here this dream was um the whole dream was Did they catch him, or was he, did he just get away, scout free? There was no, no catching him, at least the dream. No, no resolution, but it was a very spirited hunt, you know, manhunt. It was like, we were all on the, on the roll. And for some reason, he would call in with these, like, menacing calls to the police and go, yeah, you think you got me, but you don't. I'm not even in the state you're looking, like this kind of like. No, we know the laugh it would be, though.

yeah yeah we have that laugh what are we talking about actually I'm going to play it it's this laugh this is what we would have heard right here right here that right there so he would do that evilly every time he would say ah you're you think you got me coppers but I'm one step ahead of you sort of stuff and it was weird because the dream the dream didn't feel like the idea of your children being kidnapped is one of the got to be one of the single worst feelings of all humankind I can't imagine anything worse but in the dream it didn't feel like that it felt like a movie like i don't know we were more like all right let's get going and it felt kind of montagey we're all like you know like you're seeing

other characters not in your scene kind of thing yeah kind of like that and we were all in it together and it felt like a film and so we were you know on our way let's get them let's go and then um i woke up and it didn't finish and now i have no resolution so this this none of these cards have any kind of like guy kidnapping or No, there's like, let's see. Where's the one I just saw? That's body parts again. Hold on. Yeah, there's one about driving too fast, but that's speeding.

Yeah, there's just nothing here that's, there's one where you're in a hurry to do something, and we did feel like we were in a hurry. Well, while you're looking in there, look for one on spiders, because I actually do remember the part of my dream that took place right before I woke up this morning. I found it. There we go.

All right. Insects slash reptiles. You've got reptiles and insects in the same card. Cool. Yeah, I dreamt that, so there was a spider on the wall. And as I was getting closer, a closer look at it, it raised its abdomen straight out, which spiders I don't think can do. Right. They have, they're not like, they don't have abdomens that don't have legs on it like other insects do, like three-part insects do.

Oh. Um, and, um, and, um, and then like a, a circle of webs appeared around it and five other spiders appeared at evenly spaced under those webs. Like it was, like it was creating, oh my lord. Somehow five new spiders that were protected by a web, by web thing. And I smashed it with a Melissa Atheridge CD. I just distinctly remember there was a Melissa Atheridge CD case. I don't know why. Hold on a minute.

Have you done something with her lately? No. No, I have not thought about Melissa Etheridge in, like, I don't even know when last time her music came up in a shuffle or a recommendation or anything like that. That's hilarious. She didn't have a cover album last year. And then I smacked it against the wall, pulled it back, and the spider, the five outside spiders went, and like they re-inflated and came back to life. Okay. Well, let's see what this says, okay? Let's see if this gives us any kind of understanding here. It's hard to read in this light. Here we go.

Oh, pretty good. By the way, Ray the Okay, I guess the spider was the only one. That's about the best. I came up with any other Melissa Etheridge. I don't even know what that is. Is that a song? That's one of her songs. Well, I'm the only one who walk across the fire for you. Oh. Yeah, I don't even know that one, I don't think. Uh, and that might have been one of her biggest hits. Oh, no, there's that, what was that one? Uh, oh my God, it had Juliet Lewis in the music video for it. Come to my window.

Come to my window. Oh, window. Herda-da-da-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-the-light of the moon. Yeah, I know that one. Okay, I do know a Melissa Etheridge song, it turns out. I know what I like, I've seen her in concert. She's great. Really?

Yeah. Yeah, really, really. I did go with all the, lesbians in my office back when I worked with back when I worked at media marketing. Wait, are you telling me that stereotype's true then? That's a true stereotype that all the lesbians... It's a true stereotype.

We got in trouble once. Again, it was me and Chris, Nancy, and Gina and we went to the record store the day her third album came out to pick it up before, like as soon as the

store opened. And I don't know why. And And we kind of got in trouble because we did it during office hours. Oh, oh. So we took our lunch early. There's no big deal. Do you blame it on the lesbians? Of course.

Everything. Everything at that job. Blame it on the lesbians. That's what you always do. All right. Here's what this says. Within the animal kingdom, reptiles and insects carry a strong symbolic charge with largely negative overtones, says this card.

In dreams, they typically represent worries or threats in your waking life. A reptile. And we'll skip past that because we don't care. Something about relationships. A snake, blah, blah, blah, I don't care. Insects tend to represent irritating problems or distractions. Chat room? It's a chat room.

The chat room is my spider. Yeah, the chat room is my spider. That's a good title. Someone submit it. A spider may symbolize a small issue that could become larger if attention isn't paid to it. However, there's a however, though, with the spider. Spiders can also denote patience or the success sustainable through skill and hard work. Okay.

If any creature in a dream takes monstrous form, did it take monstrous form? No. I mean, coming back to life is kind of, but it wasn't huge, but it did come back to life, which is kind of... That's kind of monstrous. Don't forget also, I had a spider bite the other day, so... Oh, right. This could be that venom, like... Oh, maybe now I have powers.

Oh, I should check. Yeah, check. Can you do anything? No. No. Yeah, but... Oh, no, never mind. That was...

That's a bad origin. That was the Toby McGuire. Yeah, he couldn't organically shoot webs. Right. You need to, like, see if your hand sticks to a wall or something like that. Yeah. Or if you can tell someone's behind you or whatever. It's not my spidey sense.

It's tingling right now, Scott. Yeah, no kidding. This also says, oh, it says if it's monstrous, we'll say that them coming back to life is monstrous. It says this is probably about coming to terms with your shadow side. Or aspects of yourself you find hard to accept. All right. There you go.

My shadow side. I've already got the evil goatee. What does my shadow side look like? Oh, that's a great question. Yeah. Just bigger goate, like longer with like a handlebar mustache or I don't know how that works.

Yeah, if you already have a goatee in this timeline and you, what is you? Oh, right. Yeah. What do you have in the evil timeline? Yeah. You pack heat.

You got a gun. I know that. That's always a deal. Uh, sometimes you wear like a, you got like a stripe thing you wear. Uh, if you're Spock in particular.

That's Brian peeing, by the way. It's not him pouring coffee. It's pee. Oh, yeah. No, it's me peeing. I'm peeing webs. Oh, I'm ping webs. Oh, what?

Oh, do you have the power. That's my power. Eichor says you have a scar sometimes. Oh, sure. Sure. Okay, so that would be it. I'd keep the goatee or I guess is this, this is like a, is this a Van Dyke? What is this where the mustache doesn't connect to the beard?

There's a different name for it, and it's not a goatee. I don't know. Is that a Van Dyke? is that named after it's not named after dick van dyke what is that named after van die um mustache yeah i'm definitely not named after dick van dyke or way older if i remember than uh oh that is the van dyke although the van dyke has comes to a point normally on the mustache and you oh okay uh-huh uh-huh uh but some of them don't like the jeremy renner one Jeremy renner has a van dyke he looks like you a couple people are saying the painter the painter

Oh, comes from the, the name Van Dyke comes from the painter. Oh, the painter Van Dyke. The painter Van Dyke. Of the Van Dykes, yeah. Got it. Some culture, damn you. Well, anyway. All right, so there's that.

Also, I'd like to take a moment and remind folks about our mug redesign that we're working on. And you say, wait, Scott, what are you talking about? Well, I talked about it the other day, and some of you may have missed it. We are redesigning our traditional TMS mug.

So waste your time and a couple of Google's fields time. And it's fine. And your internet, it's fine. We don't care. All right. Let's get to some news. We haven't done this in a while. News keeps getting bumped. Been busy, but here it is now. Today's news, brought to you by. Brought to you by Scott Light about the Boop Show yesterday. It's today, 3.30 p.m. Mountain Time, the only time zone that matters. Right here at Frogpants.tv, there was a, I totally forgot. I had a meeting that conflicted and it got a left up. And we couldn't do it later. So we moved it to.

today. So me and Brian Dunaway today, 3.30. We'll see you then. Sorry about that. Unforeseen issues. Yeah, well, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? What are you going to do? Here's a story. Speaking of Brian Dunaway, South Carolina man. Mm-hmm.

South Carolina. Carolinian? South Carolina man. South Carolina man. I don't know how we say it. I think South Carolinian. I think that would be the Are you North Carolinian or South Carolinian? Oh, that does sound weird, the more you say it. Is Bobby in here today?

He's one of them. He could tell us. He was in her earlier, yeah. Yeah, Bobby, if you're in there, you can clear this up for us because we don't know what we're talking about. Oh, he says it is South Carolinian. South Carolinian. But not Carolinian, right? Not Carolina.

But you could say South Carolina man, right? Well, you do. Often. Yeah. You say, oh, he's a South Carolina man. Yeah, well, we'll do that in this case. Would you draw a line from North Carolina to South Carolina? Is it Carolinier?

Oh. When they're right next to each other, is it carolel? These don't work as well. They don't work as good. Okay, all right. Let's get to this news story before. I like where we took it. I like where we took it.

I like where we took it. Let's do this. So the South Carolina man is charged with stealing a horse and then hiding it in his bedroom, which, you know, I guess it depends on the size of the bedroom, but in this case. And the size of the horse. Yeah, good point. This one is pretty big, though. A man in on, sorry, Ocany County.

O-C-O-N-E-E-O-C-O-C-N-E-E. O-C-O-C-N-E-E, I don't know. You guys are your freaking southern names. is facing charges after authorities say he stole a full-grown horse and then allegedly tried to hide it in a bedroom. According to the incident report, deputies responded to this place in South Carolina to reports that the suspect had been seen riding down the road on a horse and eventually taking it inside the home.

I would assume just like front door too, that'd be weird. I would assume so, yeah. That's weird. That's weird. That's weird. Yeah. People are weird. I feel like at some point you're having to back that horse up, like, you know, to get it out or to get it around a corner. Yeah. That's a monster. I don't care what

breed. It's big, man. Yeah. Yeah. Initially, deputies were unable to make contact with a suspect, hearing him speaking, but not able to make out exactly what he was saying. He was saying, but will, burr. Everybody who gets that joke

is dead. Yeah. You're all dead. Dead. Dispatch was able to contact the suspect's father who was not far away, told the deputies that the home was his and that his son was supposed to be in there. Upon entering the home, deputies stated the report. They found signs of the horse made nearby. They didn't say what the signs were, but I'm sure it pooped.

Big shit on the floor, probably. There's big pooping. Road apples. Yeah, road apples. Mule muffins. I've been watching a lot of mash at night. We go to sleep to it right now. Oh, yeah?

That's good. It sucks, though, when it's like a serious one when you go to sleep, because then you're just like... Yeah, because then you have weird dreams about your friends kidnapping all the children. I'm kidding. Freaking, Stephen. I've got to call him. Make sure everything's all right. He said they immediately observed that there was a horse, there was horse feces in the living room. Oh, well, there you go. There was the very next line. Deputy then demanded that the alleged horse thief exit the bedroom. Initially, authorities thought he complied, but then he retreated. And then the deputy made him, or sorry, deputy tried to take him into custody. Was that this time he observed the full quarter horse? I don't know.

with how big a quarter horse is. It's about one-fourth the size of a regular horse. Is that what that means? It can't mean that. No, it's not. I want it to mean that. What does it mean? It's fast, right?

Like it runs like a quarter fat enough fathom for long or something. I can't remember. It's like a race horse is a quarter horse. It's a racing horse. Okay. Chat seems to agree with you. Oh, here we go. Its name is derived from its ability to outrun other horse breeds in races of a quarter mile or less.

So it's a sprinter. Oh. It's a glass cannon. Oh, okay. Okay. Great. Not a good tank, but we'll deal the damage is what you're telling me. Right.

Exactly, yes. Well, all right, then. High DPS. We like that. Let's move on to this line. Where was I? Oh, is it this time that they viewed the horse. The suspect was ultimately taken into custody without any further incidents noted in the report.

Deputy stated he read the man, his Miranda rights. The only thing that made sense concerning the incident was the horse's name was Jubilee. Jubilee the horse. That's the only thing that made sense concerning the incident. Isn't that weird? It's a little weird. I don't get that at all. It's like, oh, well, the horse's name is Jubilee.

Oh, okay. Well, now that makes sense. Yeah, I don't understand that at all. It doesn't even have a good X-Men connection. Was it wearing some shitty glasses in a yellow raincoat? Yeah. Is she Wolverine's best friend? Like, what's going on here?

That is a weird line. It is a weird line. Yeah, and it's a quote. Is it the, okay, they don't even go on this. The deputy state of the, you read the man as Miranda rights, but the quote, the only thing that made sense concerning the incident was that the horse's name was Jubilee. Wouldn't it be better if the horse's name was Miranda? That would make sense. Then it would make sense.

Or at least be, at least it would be ironic. That's a really weird thing. All right. The complaint later told the deputies that the suspect was her nephew and that they had previous issues with him stealing from them. So when they saw him riding down the road, they knew that they'd stole the horse. So there you go. There's that guy. He's a real winner.

Luke Skywalker says, don't let Jubilee touch you. I think you're thinking of a different X-Man. Yeah. Jubilee isn't the problem. You're talking about a different one. Let's not tell him who, though. Let's see if you can figure out. Let's not tell him who, yes.

Let's just say she has. She's Southern. She has a streak of whitener. She does. Yeah. She was played by... When she was first... When she made her debut,

she had two streaks of white in her on the sides. Yeah, yeah. That's right. As opposed to one in the middle. And she was... She was in the movie. She was played by... Sokay.

So... So... So... So... So... So... So... So, yeah.

...she's a rogue agent. Says much potato. Well done. Nicely done. All right. Don't worry, Luke. You'll figure it out. And also to your...

Just for the record, Jubilee is a terrible X-Men character. She's terrible. She makes fireworks. That's her deal. Not even that. It's not even cool fireworks. It's not even that explosive. It's just...

She makes bling. Just bling! She causes... She's like a distraction for the enemies. Like, oh, hey, look over there, Magneto Sparkles. What? Yeah. I don't like it.

No, sir, I don't. Yeah. All right. Next story. A man's handwriting was... so bad that an Eastborn

bank staff is in the UK didn't know he was trying to rob them because it was so bad they had no idea

police say Ian slatterly Slattery Slatery Ian Slattery It sounds It sounds Irish doesn't it

That name British Irisher Yeah Ian I don't know 67 retired of Stonehouse Drive in St. Leonard's, man, the U.K. with their weird names.

It was given a six-year extended sentence when he appeared at Lue's Crown Court on Friday on July 16th. This was about a month ago. Slattery entered the three banks in Eastbourne and Hastings in the space of two weeks and used a written note to ask the cashiers to hand over all the money. According to the police, the first attempt was at the nationwide building. I don't have to read the address back in March, but due to poor handwriting, the employees were unable to read the note, and Slattery left empty-handed. It feels like you just say something at that point, right?

It's like, right, yeah, it was like, no, it's a, this is a restaurant? What? I don't understand what you're asking. Just go, I'm here robbing your bank. I'm here to death your money. Don't make fun of my poor education. I couldn't learn to ride until I was 50. This is stickums.

We don't sell steakums here, sir. I'm sorry, you're going to have to go to the grocery store. We don't sell steakums. Ha ha ha ha. This is a steakum. What is your, what is your note say this is a steakum? I haven't eaten anything with the word steak a minute in about 20 years. They still exist.

You can get steak ems or whatever. No idea. And what were they made out of? Were those pressed turkey or something? Yeah, I don't think they were any kind of good meat. Oh, they have, is that really? There he is. Captain Kipper found the note.

I want to see this thing. Oh, no way. Your screen won't stop what? Grow pot. I've got. Your screen won't stop. Stop what I got. Oh, wow.

It's like a old rap. Just hand over the tens and twenties. Think don't the customers. Think about the customers, apostrophias. Oh, not only is your handwriting bad, but your use of apostrophes is unnecessary and incorrect. Yep. But I got to say, I'm just going to say, I feel like you just did a better job of translating it and would know what he meant better than those tellers is. But the problem would be that I'd have to be saying it out loud.

Your screen won't stop. Yeah, you would have to phonetically get it out first, right? Yeah, what I've got. And he'd be going, you have COVID? Keep it quiet. I'm trying to take your money. Don't say it out loud. I'm old as shit and I need my money.

At least he didn't put, I like how he made little S's, superscript S's for the tens and 20s. Like it's, Yeah. 10 to the power of S and 20 to the power of S. Yeah. Think about the customers. Yeah, think about the customers.

Who will think of the customers? That guy thought. All right. Stakems, just for the record, are absolutely still in full, blown. Really? You can still get Stakems. Oh, yeah. They got, let's see, here.

There's a commercial. Wow, there's a commercial of this guy with a giant box of Stakems on his head. That must be a ad campaign where they have a Stakem's box on their head, because there's a lot of that going on. And let's see, what are they mean? Oh, J.C. Calhoun says that the Steakums' Twitter account is very popular. Is it? They got Steakams sandwich steaks, chicken breast sandwich steaks, and Angus Beef Sandwich Steaks.

And now I kind of want some. You know, I mean, it doesn't look like that's real meat or anything, but I'd eat it. Beef sheets. Beef sheets. Beef sheets. Beef sheets. Someone make a title, quick. Oh, that's totally a, totally a title.

That's a good one. Beef sheets. Why does that sound so great coming out of your mouth? Beef sheets. Wow. Yeah, they like, very prolific on the tweeting for steak-hams. Yeah. I guess that is what you want to use if you're just in the mood for a,

a Philly cheese sandwich at home, right? You just get the steak-hams, heat them up. Yeah, because they're just, you know, a good strip. Cheese-wiz. Beef-like thing. whatever um let's see we don't want no beef just wants to be we should be scared we just want the beef sheets uh they want i'm trying to find one of their good tweets here literally that tweet says i love me some frozen beef sheets and then they retweeted it there's a bunch of there's a bunch

of tweets yeah where they say beef sheets i'll listen to this stacom's uh quote your you advertise obvious cultural commentary to avoid telling people about your nasty food unquote and then they said sir We literally refer to our main products as frozen beef sheets. I love it. PSA, we also make frozen chicken sheets. It actually tweeted by the Steakam background on my birthday. Yeah, that's great. Okay, they're great.

Achieve and Unlocked. Jim Gaffigan and two others followed you. Wow. So they've been doing this just so they could get Jim Gaffigan to. Well, he's a guy that seems like you would eat a lot of beef sheets to me. For sure. Yeah. And then have a whole.

whole bit in his stand-up about it. Beef sheets. I want the commercials. It doesn't quite roll off the tongue like hot pockets. No. Hot pockets. And then beef sheets. Yeah, you need more syllables.

Right. Let's move on to this deal here. Amazon, oh, this is crazy. All right. Amazon, they have a plan, literally a, not a plan, like a policy, in place that avoids lawsuits. Here's how it works. If, Brian, you order, I don't know, a blow dryer.

That's a bad one. Thanks, Scott. Thanks a lot. Thanks for reminding you that I'm bald. Thank you. Oh, I know, I got a better one. You bought a, like, a power strip with a bunch of, you know, USB boards and stuff.

Yeah, or whatever. Which is true. I actually just bought one of those today that has a UK plug on it. So that's true. Oh, okay. You literally did this. Now, if you get it and you open it and you plug it in and it goes and like shocks you or catches your hair on. Sorry.

Wow. Damn it. Your shirt on fire or something like that. They, their plan is the way that they avoid you suing them is they just immediately offer you $1,000. That's great. Yeah. But it's like Rain Man. it's like

the rain man's their lawyer this product causes some bodily injury of this person how much is that about a thousand dollars this one broke this guy's phone how much is that

about a thousand dollars how about this one sorry I gotta watch Wapner time this one ruined their welcome Matt about a thousand dollars oh by the way because we just mentioned Wapner

we have to wait to play that that's a Rule, right? Meet the defendant. Billy Jones bought this anchor USB phone charging dock for,

from Amazon.com. Yep. He says that when he turned it on, it fried his hair. He's suing Amazon for $1,000. Yeah. Meet the, oh, no, I guess that would be the, the plaintiff, the defendant.

Meet the defendant. Jeff Bezos. He laughs and he just went to space. Do they do the, that's the order? They do the plaintiff then? Yeah, yeah, the plaintiff. first then the defendant because otherwise meet the defendant he says he didn't do any of the things that the plaintiff says that he did right now meet the meet the plaintiff yeah that's a good

point that's a good though yeah why was they thinking he says he didn't do it yeah next to meet the plaintiff to learn more about what he didn't do now here meet the plaintiff that sucks uh tally man she any chance she gets to And EA. Don't forget EA. Why don't you just include EA and all those things? That's a good idea. All right.

So anyway, they do this. They announced this new policy in which they will pay the customers up to a grand when a third-party product causes property or personal injury damage. Payments of any, or sorry, of any amount less than $1,000 will be made at no cost to sellers. And that's just, you know, if they hold current insurance, I'll just cover it. But Amazon said it will also pay customers more than that when a seller refuses a valid claim. So basically, this is a little bit of them covering their own butts, but also, you know,

if they've got some third party, they can't control. It's probably a good policy to have. I mean, I don't know. It does sound like they're kind of paying people off, but, you know, what else are you going to do? Right. No, I think it's, I think it's great, and it kind of is a, like, I don't know, I think it's customer service to say, ooh, problem here. let's take care of that right now as opposed to all right let's drag this through the court system and and you know waste your time and mar time and money and all that stuff so yeah that's true um have you ever had have you ever bought anything from amazon that like hurt you or otherwise damage something went bad you know well my penis stretcher kind of uh caused some oh that's right we talked about that back in april no i don't think i've gotten anything at amazon that i've gotten some defective things at amazon and um

They just immediately send you out a replacement, which is great. And I think in nine times out of ten, and it's only been like three or four times, they've told me to just keep whatever, as opposed to sending it back. Yeah. You just keep it. You know, or we accidentally sent you two of the same item? Just keep them. Yeah.

It's more money for them to do it the other way. Right, right. But I love the fact that they now work with Coles. And when you get something from Amazon that if you want to return it, you don't even have to, like, put it an envelope. You just take you to Cole's boxed or unboxed and, you know, it's done. It's taken care of for you. I love it. Yeah, I like that too.

I like getting quick returns and something. Even if I don't like a thing, like I thought I was going to like it and it sucks, they'll do the refunds like that day. Yeah, they're great. It works pretty good that way. Now, we know they have very problematic business practices and they don't treat their employees great. We're not having a conversation about that, you guys. Okay, okay, we're not. This is true.

Including our very. very own Monica. Yeah. She's being very mistreated. Just kidding, we don't know that. She is. Is she? I think she is.

She is, sure. Okay. She is being mistreated? Really? We should... Well, I'm about... I mean, she... She's forced to pee where she stands.

Just can't leave her spot. I'm kidding. I don't know if that's the case. I do it voluntarily. I'm peeing right now. Well, I do it, yeah. I mean, we do these long shows, and I have a bladder the size of a fidget cube. so what am I supposed to do?

What a weird thing! What a weird thing to say it's the size of. I love it. I love it. I just have an apple right here. That's why. That's great, though. What a weird non-sequitur kind of thing to point to do.

It's like saying, oh, I got the, you know, I got the size, it's a size of a quarter, and everyone goes, oh, yeah, a quarter, you know, whatever. You're like a fidget cube. That's great. All right. Oh, it made me laugh. where are we final story uh this is cool it sounds like something my dad would have done he loved this kind of stuff a mechanic customized his car to shoot flames from the not the rear the headlights headlights all right great yeah this is a devil car uh it's a russian hot rod of course

uh enthusiast uh this dude uh showed off his latest custom vehicle a car that shoots jets of fire from its uh right from its headlines von mika alien alien alien el alien elian The Han Mikaelian, Michaelian, sure, I think you had it. It's pretty close. A mechanic whose previous creations included a car that walks on eight legs instead of wheels. Although their typo in here says instead O wheels, like bucket O chicken kind of, it's pretty great. Instead of wheels. Instead of wheels.

He used a Vaz 2106 Zaguli, commonly called a lot of 1600 is some car I'm not familiar with. to create his latest custom car, which he dubbed the dragon. Oh, my gosh, Van can't stop talking about dragons, by the way. That's all he wants to talk about. Oh, really? Is that his new thing? Loves him. Dinosaurs and dragons. Does he move from dinosaurs to dragons?

A little bit of both. Like he'll play with both, but he'll come up to me and go, he'll go pops, pops, pops. And I'll go, dragons? Like, a question almost? Dragons? Dragons? And it'll hold up a dragon when it was toy dragons. Dragons?

And he just loves them. I just can't wait to talk about freaking dragons. Oh, that's awesome. Two-year-old, obsessed with dragons. He likes to imagine them. Yes, he does. He imagines dragons. Let's see.

He dubbed it the dragon. Mickey Aylan shared a video on Reddit showing the headlight flamethrower launching jets of fire, distance about 20 feet. Good Lord. Says he's planning an event for later in the month to feature another set of fire. Or sorry, another car being set on fire by the dragon. Let's see if we can see this video. Yeah.

If it was on Reddit, we should have access. My God. I mean, is this guy, is he going to burning men? or uh burning car he's in the new burning car let's see uh oh here it is on reddit okay so i got click that link okay we're doing it we're getting there just put a video in the chat as well yeah he found it quicker than i did oh there it is okay so let's just hit play whoa oh that's not even like you can shoot across the intersection with that thing that's badass and that car is badass but it leaves little the the uh the liquid that must come out of there leaves little uh

back to the future flame trails on the ground. Yeah, like you just did 88 point whatever miles. What is it? 88. Gigawatts. Whatever. 88 miles per hour. 88. 48.

something, though. 1.21 jigawatts, Marty. That's not how we're going to pronounce this in the future, but whatever. Isn't it a, is it a, no, there's a, hold on, now my brain hurts. It's 88.8 point something. No, just 88 miles per hour. When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, Marty, you're going to see some serious shit. In my head, there's a point.

Like a point something. You're thinking of the 1.21 gigawatts is what you're thinking of. Oh, you know what? I have done that. I have conflated the two. Yes. Well, done, Scott. Your brain is shit.

All right. Well. That's like the third time I've dropped the S bomb in this show. I don't know what's wrong with me. Too much coffee this morning. We're working blue. It's okay. Got to do what you got to do.

That's right. You're saving me from doing it. so it's, it's fine. Oh, good. Okay. Do your cars have decimal points in its spinometer, Scott? Well, yeah. Of course you do.

So you do like 55.2 miles an hour? That's normal, right? So you have a card that shows you a digital readout for the miles per hour. Yeah, but you could also do it with the incremental pointing at the... The needle? Yeah. I mean, you don't have decimal points on your... Well, it wouldn't be decimal points, but if you know you were halfway between, let's say,

50 and 60, you could say, well, I'm doing 55, right? Yeah, and that's not a decimal point. Oh, that's true. So what if I was, like, right between... Oh, this is fun. How did these work? Hold on. I have to look at it. Between 50 and 51?

Hold on. Odomator. I have a picture of one. I just need to... Well, yeah, they do it like... They have it like inches where... But it's all estimate, right? So if, like, I was between...

Let's say I was doing between 35 and 40, and I was just somewhere in there. I'd have to make something up, right? No, I wouldn't because those are just numbers that lead to 40. 36, 37, 38, and 39. But wouldn't you in theory, hold on, let me think of this. Wouldn't you, though, in theory, isn't it, it is possible if you had a way of measuring it, you would be going point something, right? Well, you're always going point something.

I mean, you couldn't be. But I'm saying your readout's not going to tell you if it's one of these dials, but in, but you are going, let's say, 20 point something because you're never going to be exactly at 20 miles or an hour or 40 or 60, right? Right. So that's, so it's true that it's happening. You just can't read it. You don't know. Right. Yes. Correct. All right. Yeah, that's fair enough. Yeah. For some reason, I thought you could, and maybe I thought it was because I had this confused in that movie, but I thought you could do a, point something. I don't know why. I think on some digital readout speedometers, I don't even know if those show, because I'm thinking about like ours, we have one that has the needle gauge and the digital. No, I think that one just still says miles per hour and it rounds up. What's funny though, is that I wonder if I have a picture of it. Oh, you know what I'm

thinking of? I'm thinking of the damn radar gun. The cops use, or the thing they used to see how fast your baseball goes. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Those do that, don't they? Those, those probably do go down to the decimal, sure. Okay, well, yeah, so there's ways of you know, you measure speed, you could have your decimal points. I'm not that crazy chat room. I'm not that dumb.

Come on now. All right. Anyway, sorry. There's a, there's a parking lot near us, well, south side of town that has speed limit signs in the parking lot. And they say something like 15,

5.5 miles per hour. Like they've actually got a Yeah, here we go. Speed limit, 8.2 miles per hour. Wow. Really? Yeah, here we go. Right there.

Okay, I'm clicking it. Oh, yeah, look at that. Okay, well, explain that to me then, brilliant chat room that thinks they know everything. Look at that. Well, I think that's probably a translation from kilometers to miles per hour or something. Well,

it probably is, but look at them doing the decimal scene. Yeah, yeah, but I mean, again, who's going to say,

oh, I think I might be going 8.4 miles per hour. Yeah, and the actual practicality of things, none of this matters, right?

Yeah. No cop's going to go, I'm sorry, I clocked you at point two over the limit. Right, right, exactly. All right.

Yeah, I took a picture of a, we were, I was in a, um, parking garage in Baltimore for a, trivia thing years ago, and they had one like that in there as well.

And the actual picture that I've taken of a speed limit sign that has a decimal, might even have half, 15 and a half miles per hour, something like that. Yeah. That's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, 15 and a half would put you at, uh, if you did that twice, it'd be 30.5 miles, right? No, wait. I'm sorry, that'd be 31 miles per hour if you doubled it. Have you doubled it?

Yes. If you doubled. 0.31.0 miles. 0.0.0 miles. Get all the zeros in there. All right. We're going to take a break. When we come back,

Justin Robair Young will be here. We're going to... I have a question for him. We'll see if he's up to answer in it. We'll find out in the moment so that I ask him. Oh, I love it. Good. Yeah, we'll see how that goes.

And that'll be here in a minute. So stick around. Before all that, though, Brian will play a song now. What do you have? Scott, do you like funk? I like funk, uptown funk, downtown funk. Do you like soul? I like soul, a little bit of soul.

Do you like blues? Sometimes depends on my mood. Let's give you all of that. All right. With a guitarist, a guitar virtuoso named Taylor Scott. This is his band, the Taylor Scott band, from Denver. He's a local boy. And he's going to be touring all over the place in August.

As a matter of fact, right now on the 17th, he is somewhere between 10 Sleep, Wyoming and Arvada, Colorado. Whoa. I think he's going to be playing here. October 6, he's going to be at the Soundwell in Salt Lake City. So there you go. This is his brand new single, and it's great. It is some amazing guitar work on here.

Here is the Taylor Scott Band, their brand new single, Bleeding Out. while I bleed Do you know how it feels To be terrified by your own thoughts Do you know what it means To have to cut out your memories One by one I don't think so

deserving or this type of deserting Oh, no, no, I look at my crimes But you left me bling out Laying in the road Play now Stranding in a cold So much for best france Who's a fool in the end

Show to leave nothing behind that you might need While I bleed The whole in my soul Is set to slow drift For maximum sustain Lord knows I would have turned almost anything to numb this pain Feel so low

And if I was abandoned Just where you left me standing I know you never really were mine Cause you left me bleeding out Laying in the road Now, stranded in a clone So much more than a friend Who's a fool is it yet?

They show to leave nothing behind. Yeah, I'm playing out. Laying in the road. Don't ask for this man who's a fool in the end The show to leave nothing behind I said the show to leave nothing behind That you might need Baby, while I bleed

anything, yeah, while I bleed, yeah. While I bleed, yeah. Listen, party, people, I'm not going to be able to be able to be able to listen, party people, and don't be late. You'll always get the scoop bag, give it to you straight. I'll give it you the news that you need to know. on Western New York's number one new show. Relax.

I'll feel you full of hot laser. I guess that's all he had to say. I guess so. That's weird. Yeah. I don't know why that version played, but that's fine. Hey, we're back. song again is bleeding out by the Taylor Scott band brand new single and go see the Taylor Scott

band they are touring the whole west so go go check him out the intermountain west you say that's right yes and the outer mountains he's going to be both performing in the mountains and outside of the mountains that's fantastic uh looks like rain today very happy about that speaking of the intermountain west that means finally maybe some of the smoke will go away and uh we can go back to breathing real air that'd be good The Fresh Prince of Bell Air. All right. Let's get Justin in here.

We're going to have some fun. Talk to our old pal. Let's see what happens here. These are their stories. Oh, I'm terrible with names. Justin Robert Young joins us from his studios in beautiful downtown. I don't know if it's downtown. He's in Austin, Texas, everybody, and he's wearing a blue hat.

I like that hat. What's this hat about? I like this. Oh, it's got pins. A lot of pins on it. Yeah, this is what I like to call the crazy coot hat. because who would wear it

but John Teesdale and I'm a co-creator on Contender made it out of all the buttons that we made for Contender and so when we went to go promo it in the caucus and primary states people would come up to us wondering who we were supporting only for us to begin selling them a card game. Nicely done. Wow, you guys.

It's a good opener. Trickster. Yeah, exactly. And by the time that they realized they were already getting paid. their wallet was already out and they were giving you their credit card info they'd been had yeah i assume there's i mean i shouldn't assume this but probably 2024 you guys will have some massive follow-up to the hugely successful game and do it again right something like that maybe no no don't count on it

all right there you go everybody never know never know anything can happen but uh also it almost certainly won't yeah well there you have it uh an answer we're all not sure we asked but we got an answer for anyway all right so check this out um i have a question for you we didn't talk about this previous on the on text or anything usually we have a uh you know a quick back and forth about possible discussion topics today um but instead you just you just you just positioned me yeah i kind of did i sent him a picture of me and him hugging at nerdtacular 2015 uh which i was going through some old photos found that one and went you know what i'm going to use this as my cold open to my text

to Justin today. It's a good one. It was a good one. It was like freaking 40 pounds ago for me. But anyway, and about three pounds of beard for you. You had a lot of beard going on in the shot. Oh, back to that. Sure. It was a lot. So here's my question. This Afghanistan thing. Yes. The withdrawal from Afghanistan and the subsequent fallout. And even taking in context for, you know, the many, many years of this 20-year war where people have said we need to get out of this thing, including the last. administration they were super huge on we got to get out of there it's stupid why are we there um and and

nobody actually did it so now we're actually doing it and uh well then demands you know Biden Biden was very very clear to point out how much was already done by the time he got it oh okay so so so that's actually good to know because I don't know how much of that happens prior you're like none of this none of this happens overnight uh because it's more complicated than us dummies at home think so I already assume that there's things more complicated than I understand here however, there's no doubt that this has political, major political ramifications in probably a million different ways. And I thought it'd be interesting to ask you what you thought those were immediately for

the current administration because what seems obvious to me is no matter who's in charge, the opposing party is going to make it seem like all of the fallout is the problem of the current administration. all while George Bush Jr. gets to just kind of chill and go, well, hey, whatever, man. I didn't start it. Oh, I actually did. Oops. Anyway, no one's talking about Bush here. But anyway, everybody, you know, rallying around Biden want to blame the Trump administration for the withdrawal. Everybody in that camp want to blame him, business as usual with politics. But does this actually move the needle one way or the other? Does it affect things like elections? Like, where do you think all this is?

So in general, the fundamentals of politics are that foreign policy doesn't matter unless we're actively shipping Americans off to war. And even then, it's more muted compared to things like the economy. So foreign policy, if all you did was bet against the position that whatever the foreign policy thing is really affects the, you know, anything at the ballot box, you would be a rich man. So the conventional wisdom would say that no matter what is happening, it's either not something that people care all that much about or will fade away by the time that it is actually time to vote. And considering how fast our world moves, that would probably be a safe bet. That being said, the question here is not necessarily just did Biden bungle the withdrawal. for which the answer, I think, is an unequivocal yes. I don't think anybody would look at how this is unfolded and say, even if you are 100% behind withdrawal, and you saw that in his speech last night,

Biden wanted to couch everything around the idea of we needed to get out. And that had basically become a bipartisan issue. That was not something that was particularly fought over. And specifically, it was a main point of agreement between Trump and Biden. They did both as people agree that they needed to, get everybody out of Afghanistan. The question, I mean, by the American presence out of Afghanistan, the question was how it went down and who showed up and how they would be extricated from the country. And then also whether or not we were doing right by our allies in the

Afghan government. A lot of that is outside my expertise. I am barely somebody that understands domestic politics. I certainly do not understand, nor will I pretend and insult the audience that is listening to me right now to say that I understand the mechanations of either the military or the Afghan military. But it looks like a total cluster. It feels like a total cluster F. Quotes out of even foreign embassies or foreign policy shops across Europe say that this is a massive, massive, massive failure. So the larger issue for Joe Biden is this reveal. This reveals an element that he has built his reputation against. He has been the wise foreign policy guy for decades.

He has been the foil to the incompetent and impetuous Trump by his own narrative for the last year and a half. And now he does something that Trump didn't do, which is a hasty exit from Afghanistan that feels rushed and bad. And that is something that for whatever you can say about Donald Trump or Joe Biden, one guy did it, the other guy didn't. And that's a problem. Specifically, more in the fact that it's not just this problem that Joe Biden has to deal with right now. He won the election in November based on COVID.

And right now, COVID is back, right? It is back in the forefront of people's minds. Inflation is an issue. Might recede. Might be a bigger issue going forward. We will find out in the coming months. And even his biggest signature win, the bipartisan infrastructure bill that passed the Senate, is now being held up based on an inter-democratic party conflict in the House.

So that all being in stasis, that all being something that is now on the wrong side of the coin for the Biden administration, is a concern in totality. the fact that Afghanistan was as loud and as ugly as it was is is really just a very rancid cherry on top yeah so all right what do you think happens in the near term uh in terms of like um like from all accounts it's now basically we just turned back time to 20 years ago and maybe it's worse because uh now they're like well yeah america was here and they couldn't do shit now they're out and now we're back and look how patient we were and we made this work. So I hope you enjoyed spending your trillions of dollars because now we're the Taliban again or whatever. So now that that's back in place. Sucker.

Yeah. So what do you think anyone does now? And what would it be? In Afghanistan? Yeah. And keeping it in the realm of like what does this do for anyone politically? Do we do anything now? Or we're just done.

Oh, Afghanistan's a forgotten issue at this point. All right. So we're just out. Fungling the withdrawal and that's pretty much going to be it, unless somebody else harbors a terrorist that sends more planes into more towers or something equivalent. Like, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, in terms of America caring about Afghanistan, unless you're a Middle East scholar, in my

opinion, or a heroin user, because a lot of heroin globally comes from Afghanistan. And before we invaded in 2000, the Afghanistan had, uh, uh, put in a very, very strict, no heroin growing policy that was effectively reversed when would we push them out of power. So if you're on heroin, I mean, inflation's coming for you, just like everything else. Wow, I hadn't really thought about those poor folks in the heroin market and how they were going to get hit. You want some more Afghan or some Taliban facts? I got some Taliban. Yeah, sure. Give it. The Taliban was formed in September of 1994 the same month that the pilot episode of Friends aired on NBC. whoa that was the year my daughter was born no no connection i don't oh in september no she was born

in april so it doesn't count that would have been a great one oh that was uh the month that kirk cobain died oh geez oh wow and that and he was 27 i looked at him because initially i wanted people was yeah i wanted it to be kirk cobain and and the taliban but instead it had to be friends i was trying to look friends in the taliban yeah yeah i was trying to look their life is always stuck in the second year though so that's what my life life is my life is looking up uh fun taliban facts on the internet i like it are they um uh but what do you know anymore any more any more hot hot uh really shouldn't build this up as a font of knowledge i really just had one to go oh it wasn't that you had taliban facts you have taliban fact a thing that i

looked up in research for the episode that i'm going to put up tomorrow all about all this in biden speech uh mullah omar the leader of the taliban and one of the founders of the taliban uh i was under the assumption because I remember while all this was happening that he was hit by a missile and I thought he had died he apparently did not either Mullah Omar, the leader of the

Taliban or Osama bin Laden was captured or killed in the first 10 years plus of our push into Afghanistan. Mullah Omar, I believe survived Osama bin

Laden and wound up dying of tuberculosis. Oh, geez, really? Yeah. We didn't even get him. Like, I mean, we got bin Laden and threw, through his ass. right but like forgetting the you're a lunger that's what took you out holy smear there that's pretty crazy did you see so the the big the the the the optics are the alaband fact that's not a fun fact no that's not a fun fact uh so speaking of not fun facts like um the the optics on this are pretty rough but as the final big air force plane is leaving uh it's it just got you know swarmed by afghanis trying to get out of that wasn't the final but it was one of one of the the first of the last, as it were. Right, right.

Among the, you know, as now the Taliban moved into Kabul, the famous video now of people clinging to the side of the plane and the gear of the plane, that is, yeah, that was the beginning of evacuations of Afghanis, specifically those that worked with the embassy to, you know, I guess go to a third country that they can then have their asylum or visa applications process. Right. Now, the worst part of that video is after they take off, somebody falls off after it's already up in the air.

It's a rough image. Yeah, I don't like it. But it's, and, you know, do not read the comments if you ever see that video because that people are horrific about what they say about it kind of all over the place. Hello, Internet. But anyway, that's an unfortunate thing. feels it felt like hey guess what we got our own little we're getting out of sagon moment on film now where we're abandoning the place we thought we were going to bring freedom to or that we were all told we were going to and we stayed there for 20 years and then left and now we got this great image of everybody not fitting on something and falling off the edge and the issue was never the mission in afghanistan was never nation building yeah yeah so but if you thought that that was that's wrong yeah correct that uh based on joe biden's speech last night

He let us know that the issue was never We were never there to nation build Which is odd compared to previous comments from literally every politician From both parts of five Including the one that started the Yeah started the invasion there In the first place

There was a lot of nation building talk at that time Wait, you mean the British? No, that George W. Fricken Bush When he started the damn thing I mean look, it is the graveyard of empires Afghanistan Like we were not the we were not We were only the most recent You don't even have to go back to Alexander the Great

to talk about, you know, the British attempted to come in. The Russians and the Soviets tried to come in and then we tried to come in. And, you know, there is apparently a saying that has been repeated ad nauseum over the last few weeks. But the Taliban's favorite saying is that the Americans or whatever the invaders are have all the watches, but we have all the time. And eventually they will just provoke an exhaust and provoke an exhaust and provoke an exhaust and nobody's really going to going to want to stay in Afghanistan except for them. Yeah. They were right.

The old video of the Russian tanks pulling out of there, like the last Russian tank, reminding me of this. And then the Saigon thing reminded me of this. Let's remember that both Ronald Reagan and Rambo helped to arm the Mujahideen in the 80s. So that is, look, we have our own complicated history that spans back through presidents. The one thing I will say about the invasion of Afghanistan is I do think that Ralph Nader would have invaded. in Afghanistan after 9-11. I don't know if anybody but George W. Bush

would have invaded Iraq, but after 9-11, when you spend this much on a military, someone's getting invaded. If it was a foreign adversary that blew up the Twin Towers, you know, American iconography, 3,000 people dead,

somebody was going. We were getting somebody. The problem is we didn't get any of the two that we wanted. Either the guy that was harboring the guy that we really wanted, or the guy himself until, you know, a decade afterward. And at that point, we, we had kind of shifted our mission to, like, this neo-conservative idea that we need to reform these hotbeds of terrorism. And that's how we safeguard America going forward. And in the meanwhile, make some

sweet, sweet green for all of our defense. That's true. Well, the heroin market's about to blow up. So get your, uh, get your money in. Well, get your heroin. Now, stock up on heroin. If you, I cannot, I cannot say this enough. If you are a heroin user, please. Please buy in bulk. Go down to coffee, get yourself, just bricks and bricks and brick. Because this thing is about the price on the package is going up. If the Taliban comes back and slashes all the crops like they did back in the late 90s and early 2000s. Yeah.

I hear the Kirkland heroin, though, isn't as good. I'll tell you it, better than it ought to be. Better than it ought to be. You know, it's not a good logo, but, you know, for the product. You know, and that's true of all Kirkland products. It's better than it ought to be. Better than it ought to be. You know, and we never really bought it a Costco before when we lived in a tiny apartment.

Now that we got a house with some with some area of store stuff, oh, man, we're going to be stuffing all that Kirkland for a rainy day. We'll bring it out at Christmas time. Yeah. You think toilet paper was valuable last year. Get into the heroin market. Get into some heroin friends. Well, that's great. I love whoever.

I'm sure that won't be clipped out. No, no, no, no. It'll be fine. Someone in the chat actually said Rambo with a question. Mr. Mark, Rambo isn't real. We just want to make sure anyone who might be confused, Rambo's not real. That's a fictional character.

No, but that's, I forget which Rambo it is, but he fights alongside the Musha Hadid, and there's a... Three, I think, right? Third? Is that... Yeah. And there's the ending credit thing, like, dedicated to all of the brave Mujahideen. That's the Taliban, those of you who aren't aware.

We were funding the Taliban. Also, the delightful picture, Charlie is about the gleeful American position to give money to the Taliban because we liked them more than we liked the Soviet Union. And we were fighting a soft proxy war there. And now we've given a lot more money to the Taliban in the form of military stuff that we didn't extricate or explode. Yeah. And also remember, someone in the chat reminded us that Rambo played soccer with the Mujah Hadin in the that in that oh he did okay got you so he didn't arm them he just he just he just he armed them with mad goalmaking skills which you know someone was going to do it it just may as well be rambo um all right well this is all educational uh which was what we were aiming for today and uh we always like

hanging around you anyway why don't you tell people what's going on this week so they can get more jury in their life sure uh politics politics politics will be available tonight uh around midnight uh you will get all of my reaction to Joe Biden's speech as well as some of the problems that he also faces a deeper dive into what is happening in the House right now where Nancy Pelosi has to balance out the House moderates with the House progressives as they are both threatening to derail all of the Democratic priorities as it stands right now, including those of Joe Biden. It is a no good, very bad month so far for Joe Biden, and we will explore that as well

as talked to Tom Merritt, who in that bipartisan infrastructure bill, there is a lot of tech stuff that I feel like folks who are listening to this show might want to get more of a download on. So go ahead and get subscribe to the politics podcast

right now if you don't. Politics. That's a fantastic idea. I highly recommend it and endorse it. I also like to play this. The jury will now retire. Justin, have a fantastic week. We'll see you next time.

Bye. All right. Jury is now retired. And you got it in time. I like that. Yeah. Brian, I think of you when I do. it now because if I don't, then you have to remind me and I feel like that's a burden.

I don't like to put burdens on people. You know? Oh, whatever. I would just say this. The chat, you know, sometimes this will come up where they'll be like, oh, great, three guys who have no idea what happens in the least we're going to have a discussion. Three white guys talking about POC issues. Whatever it may be.

I would just remind everybody that, you know, you can all, you can talk, whoever you are. We're not claiming to be experts. I have no idea how this stuff works, which is why I'm asking some of the questions I do. Jury knows more than I do, and there are people that know a lot more than he does. We're just talking. All right, we got stuff to say. And I didn't give you any good, I didn't give you any policy you can now run with, did I? Did I?

Because I wasn't pretending to. All right. Okay, all right. Let's get to the, let's get to this email here at the end of the show here. Yes. Rob Rodin says, hey, Scott, I'm visiting some relatives in Asheville, North Carolina this week. happened upon a food truck that I thought you might like. El kimchi.

They make Korean rice bowls and Mexican food, like tacos, burritos, Casey is all that stuff, all of which have Korean spiced meats and the option of adding kimchi, crazy, tasty stuff. I believe that I would agree with him that this is a fusion made in heaven.

Mexican and Korean food sounds just divine. And so here are some examples. I got some pictures here. Oh, cool. This is the actual place. He's photos, too, because he... Oh, why can't I blow these up?

Here we go. So there's El Kimchi, Korean barbecue and Mexican goodness, Asheville, North Carolina. Oh, beep and bap. Oh, that sounds so good right now. Right? Doesn't it, though? Oh, my love. Everything on this menu.

I want it all. And they have a whole... They have a Mexican lineup. They have a Korean lineup. They got the bowls. You pick your proteins. You do all the stuff you're used to doing at a Korean place. I'm all in, dude.

Asheville Times, I believe, by the way, is the newspaper. I've been to Asheville, North Carolina. I would eat, yeah, Bulgogi tacos, Kelly. That is exactly, they're on here. Bulgogi, Bulgogi. I love some bulgogi. All right. That's it for the show.
