Starting point is 00:00:29 They just should. I'd rather spell better. What's the deal with your lever? Dead Sea shriekage. A whip permit, please. Not ballgags, gag balls. Therapy Thursday and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. I'm fine, thanks.
Starting point is 00:00:42 I just woke up an hour and 13 minutes ago. Now I'm riding my exercise bike in my living group. Then I'll eat breakfast. What about you? Welcome. You guys want some sandwiches? This is the morning stream. Good morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream for October 21st, 2021. This is episode 2193. Woo! 2193. Yep. Those numbers together are this year and the year Jurassic Park came out. Right there together.
Starting point is 00:01:28 2193. Pretty cool, man. That's really funny. I never even think about. You know, there's a great trivia game that NTN, which became BuzzTime, it's like a, you go to the bar and they've got it up on the TVs and you get a little box that you play on, right? It's like a, and they have a countdown game on weekends. They're really used to. I don't know if they still do.
Starting point is 00:01:50 It's been a while. Yeah. But one of the games was they tell you a movie, a song, and a TV show, and it kind of. current an event and you have to tell them what year all that happened you'd kick ass oh i would totally rule at that game i suck at that stuff i like like i think that was in the mid 90s um maybe 96 yeah for some reason i have a real connection with years and when those movies came out i don't know why it's weird yeah that oh it's great people could name almost any movie and say i mean i'm not going to get it right every time but like big yeah marquis stuff big stuff yeah someone says ghostbusters 84 uh freaking
Starting point is 00:02:29 And Gross Point Blank, 98. Sure. Jurassic Park, 93. Like, whatever. And especially the 90s. I got a real strong run in the 90s there, early aughts as well, I think. Now, if you said, hey, Scott, you have to be exactly right about when, I don't know. I mean, you know, it's got to be movies you care about, too. I can't say, look who's talking to.
Starting point is 00:02:52 And have you, you know, immediately get the year right? I'm not going to know that. I might guess around it pretty well, but I'm not going to know that one. Let's see what your guess is. Look who's talking to. Two, so the sequel. The sequel, yes. I mean, we all know when the original came out. 1996.
Starting point is 00:03:12 1990 for Look who's talking to. The first one, 1989. All right. That's a bad one. I'll ask you one. Bad one on multiple levels. I'll ask you this one. Sure.
Starting point is 00:03:24 I suck at this. So anything you ask me, I'm guaranteeing a failure here. Really? All right. Let's try a movie you love. Sure. Shawshank Redemption. Oh, 1999.
Starting point is 00:03:42 That would be. 94. 94 is the correct answer. And that's the same here as Lion King, as Forrest Gump, as again, maybe another one. But, yeah, 94 was, that's an easy one for me. See, that's the thing, too. Plus, you're able to, you're able to look at movies and know other movies that came out that same year and, like, kind of cluster them together.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Yeah, that's a weird talent. I don't think it really pays much to have this talent. I'd rather spell better, to be honest. Airbud 4. How about Airbud 4? Oh, Airbud 4? Fourth one? The fourth airbud.
Starting point is 00:04:18 The sequels are hard. Because I know we all know when the first one came out. I don't even know what it was called. Oh, seventh inning fetch was airbrush form. Was that directed video or something? Because those don't count. I don't know, actually. Yeah, direct a video.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Okay, let's say the, let's go with the first airbud, which did go to theaters. Okay. Airbud one. Airbud one. I'd be honest. I don't even know if I'd guess the right decade for AirBard. All right, this might be totally wrong,
Starting point is 00:04:50 but for some reason the year, 2004 is jumping out of me. It's probably right. 1997. Damn it. Yeah. Ah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Well, yeah, shitty movies, I guess I don't know. Yeah. Movies that are good. And no one's ever going to say, hey, what year did, uh, dude, where's my car come out? Right. Right. No one thinks of that. But, you know, like, it's always going to be.
Starting point is 00:05:13 All right. What year was the Godfather 2? Or what year was, uh, Spartacus. See? Look at you. Uh, 60, Spartacus 68. Wait, Godfather 2 was 72. I thought it was later than that.
Starting point is 00:05:24 No, Godfather. Oh, Godfather 2. I think you said one. Two would have been 75? So close. 74. Ah, yeah. You know it's close.
Starting point is 00:05:36 See? Look at you. Someone in the chat said Mad Max. 79, okay. Take that. 79 for Mad Max. The original, I mean. Fury Road, the greatest film of all time, 2015.
Starting point is 00:05:47 They had to lead him into this. You knew it'd come. You knew it was happening. Yep. Yep. All right, well, that was fun. If I ever get in one of those contests, we'll see how I do. I feel like I could also do a lot of narrowing if they gave me all that other information.
Starting point is 00:05:59 So it's a movie, it's an event, it's, you know, all that. Easily, right. Yeah, because I mean, you know, all right, Princess Diana's death or stuff like that. You'd get the year right away probably. Yeah. You're good with the years. I don't know why I'm good with years. It's weird.
Starting point is 00:06:13 If only there was a trivia thing that just did years, then you'd be a ringer. Well, I wish I was better with hand-eye coordination. Let me tell you a fun little story. last night, went out in the garage, got me a Coke Zero, the new version of Coke Zero, just one of them, just a can. How do you like it, by the way? I like it, good. I like it a lot. Yeah, I like it, too.
Starting point is 00:06:33 I think it tastes like Coke. Yeah, it tastes most like Coke. I actually had to question somebody at the, so I went to the Bronco game last Sunday, and at Concessions got a Coke Zero. And I had to question, I said, are you sure you poured me? It's like, it was like a commercial. Are you sure you poured me a Coke Zero on this? This isn't an actual real Coke. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Yes, sir. I did it myself. It's a Coke Zero. Like, wow. I almost can't do store stuff, or sorry, restaurant stuff anymore because it's so close now that I can't tell. And if they get it wrong, it Fs me up because I spike. It's actually bad for me. So, yeah, it's kind of annoying how close it is.
Starting point is 00:07:12 I was living with it before, but now I can't tell the damn difference. Right. I mean, and Dice Tomatoes right. Coke Zero is always tastes more like Coke than Diet Coke, but now it just tastes even more like Coke, whatever the new formula is. Finally, Coke changes a formula and gets it right. Well, there are people I have talked to
Starting point is 00:07:29 who are very unhappy about the new flavor. Oh, really? I don't know. I don't understand people. Like, isn't the whole goal? The entire goal is, have it be sugar-free, but tastes like the thing you already like. That's the goal. So if it's off of that goal, every effort
Starting point is 00:07:45 to get it closer to the goal should be celebrated, in my opinion. What are they talking about? it's like Diet Coke people I can't have that zero I gotta have the diet well all right geez well you're insane
Starting point is 00:07:57 more for you but man I cannot do that diet taste too chemically do not like it yeah not a fit yeah and I've been drinking Coke Zero for such a long time now that that's that's why I probably confuse it for regular Coke
Starting point is 00:08:08 is just like wow okay it's yeah because now there's a huge difference between three coaks and the original you know that you always know the original you're like oh yeah that's real sugar or that's you know corn syrup or whatever it is
Starting point is 00:08:20 corn syrup or whatever it is Corn syrup, yeah. Yeah. I always sometimes wonder if I would do better on just real sugar than I would that corn syrup bull crap. I have to taste it. Have you had a Mexican Coke in a while? I haven't. It's probably been years since I've had one, so I should probably just test it to see.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Yeah. Just watch the numbers, see what happens. Oh, right, yeah. Going to a diabetic shock, be in the hospital. It'll be great. Let's do that. That won't happen. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Anyway, so anyway, coordination. So you're giving me a hypothetical. What would you do kind of thing? So here's the coordination problem. I go outside, it's in the garage. There's a bunch of cans out there, and they're nice and cold because it's cool right now. So I don't even have to refrigerate them.
Starting point is 00:08:59 They're basically refrigerated. I'm bringing it in, and I'm super excited, and I have it in this hand. And in this other hand, I decided to bring in some stuff that was in the garage and need to go in the house, and we just keep forgetting to bring it in. So I have that in this hand bundled up.
Starting point is 00:09:13 So Coke in this hand, bundle over here. Bundle too big to hold Coke can, free hand holding Coke can. Now, so get up to the door, it's a hand, it's not a knob, it's a hand, the lever, yeah, I go up to grab the lever and I'm thinking, well, I'll just grab it with some fingers with the hand that's holding the Coke. It's no, no big deal. Sure. Just, it's not like a giant. You can hold the Coke with two fingers and do the lever with the other three if you need to. Exactly. That's the theory. So I go rushing up there and I think the rush is the problem. I went too fast. Okay. And I lurched forward to grab. the handle, and I, I, uh, what do you call that when you, when you, uh, impales the word I'm going to use. Oh, no. Okay. I impaled the lever right through the can.
Starting point is 00:10:03 You impelled the coke. Impaled the coke. And the coke, of course, went on a spray, yeah, on a spray. So just, so I went shunk. Now mind you, I, I achieved goal of getting door open. So door opens right yeah and the coke can's going all over the kitchen i turn it around all over the garage all over the front of the car it wouldn't it felt like it was never going to stop i finally just threw it in a in a garbage can that was sitting out there i was just like i slammed dunked it in there and let it finish fizzling yeah let it let it finish its tantrum and it in time out it sucked it sucked oh my god so all right first thing i've got to ask is what's the deal with your lever. Why is it sharp enough to poke right through a Coke can? I don't know. It's metal and it's got
Starting point is 00:10:53 like, I think it's just the angle you come at it or something. I don't know. It's not, it's a normal metal, you know, handles. Like no big deal, but the can, the can did not withstand it at all. It just went right through it, man. And it was through the side, not like the top or the bottom. It was like right through the side of the can, right through the logo. And then just spray the world with gooey gross. Yeah, because that stuff is. going to be like it's it's once it congeals it becomes like this uh glossy speckled mess that you have to clean up yeah it's a nightmare so i spent i don't know probably way longer than i needed to making sure i got every drop because i didn't want to deal with some later issue
Starting point is 00:11:35 and then the dogs came in later i'm like if they start sniffing and licking things i'll know i screwed up there you go actually they're great they're a great uh field team that's true they can like go around and say oh missed a spot here yeah just a spot over here just take care of the rest of the crime scene that we missed and get out of here. But, yeah, it just sucked. And I feel like I haven't learned my lesson. There's probably another scenario where I will use that hand to hold a can and open the door at the same time. I just, I don't know why I feel that way.
Starting point is 00:12:02 I just feel like it didn't. I feel like I haven't really truly learned from what happened. Yeah. And I don't like that feeling. So I'm going to do my best, everybody. I'll do my best. What does one do? Well, he does his best.
Starting point is 00:12:12 All you can do is do your best, Scott. Got an email from Dan Anderson, who, uh, made a good point. We were talking about Muppets yesterday for the Dad Pooley feud. Yep. A really good one, by the way. I love that one. Oh, good. Dan Anderson says,
Starting point is 00:12:26 Hey, S&B. If Miss Piggy and Kermit have babies, they must be some kind of mutant creatures called Frigs. Because pigs, frogs. I get it. Yep. Why not? Progs. Or pogs. Pogs. Not progs. In pog form.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Yeah, I like Frigs. A whole litter of Frigs. Or they'd be little friglets until they grow up and then they'd be frigs. Well, the way they've done it in the past, and I don't know if this is sexist or what this is. It's not, I don't think, but it's whatever it is. When they have little kids, it's the little, the boys are always a little frogs. And the girls are always the little pigs. There's never.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Yeah, it's true. Yeah, you never get. A pig boy or a girl frog, right? Right. No, not that I remember. I don't remember ever seeing a baby, uh, you know, You know, a Muppet Baby female frog. No.
Starting point is 00:13:19 No, they don't do it. There's something there. I don't know. We got a... The frog is the dominant gene in this situation. Maybe. Or, well, I mean, they... So in that Christmas thing, they had equal kids,
Starting point is 00:13:31 numbers-wise. And you could argue the weaker of the two were the frog side, because the frog side had the sick little Timmy frog. But that's just part of the Christmas carol. So I can't, I can't fault that. Right. Anyway, it's a real dumb thing because they're Muppets and who cares. But if you think about it,
Starting point is 00:13:46 never see any you never see any boy pigs well that's not true like the lost in space but he's an adult boy pig he's a man pig or pigs in space yeah man he is a man pig that's right man pig yeah man pig not child pig
Starting point is 00:14:01 find a child pig I dare you anyway thank you for the feedback is always there Dan we got one more here from Mark in Wisconsin who says episode 2192 That was yesterday, right?
Starting point is 00:14:18 Sure. So as you left us on a cliffhanger, the episode ends with you saying people should, and then the episode abruptly ends. I have to know, Scott. What should people do? All right. So wait, wait, you must have been the Patreon episode, right?
Starting point is 00:14:32 Because you end the regular show. We do the song, and then you have like the frog pants outro. Yeah, and like a little goofball clip or whatever. Yeah. Well, it's thanks to this email. And then a ton afterward, started with this one. Okay. That I became aware that I accidentally cut off a chunk of the show yesterday on the main feet.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Oh, no. Now that new file. Let me guess. Let me guess the final song. Didn't make it into the episode. None of everything, everything right before Nicole's recommendal is in there. Nicole on lost. Not lost, but it's fixed now. I got it up there. So it's all, if you, if you were like, oh, man, I really need to know what happened there. Go and it's there. But what I really want to do here on the show, was hear what he heard. So I still have the old file that it got effed up, all right?
Starting point is 00:15:21 And we're going to hear what I left us on a cliffhanger for. Although I've got to make sure this plays through here. Hold on. Yeah, I will. All right, here we go. So let's just, why is there a normal volume? Oh, because this is muted. All right.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Show me. I can't remember. Who were talking about? So that's earlier on in the show, obviously. Yeah, because that's tadpully feud. Oh, my gosh. If you cut things off there, then we're really in trouble. Okay, here it is.
Starting point is 00:15:46 end of the show yesterday, or at least what they thought was the end. It's about, oh, you can't do a version of the thing, or even if it's a prequel, you can't mess with Graydon. I don't care. Try it. Give it a shot. Like, who cares? If it's bad, it's bad. If it's good, it's good. If it's middle, it's middle. But this, this I
Starting point is 00:16:02 liked more than middle. I thought it was a good time. Just checking in here, we got, I wish iTunes. I wish iTunes. So this is, gotcha. So this is right in the middle of your recommendal of the thing prequel. Yes. Yes. And then me justifying remakes and sequels and things like that, which I still stand by.
Starting point is 00:16:19 All right, so there's like a 30 seconds left of this. Here we go. And the only real regret I have, Brian, is that this would have been a film sack movie for sure. Like, yeah, yeah. I realized it as I got done with it. I'm like, wild red hair. Gwendolyn Christie's character on Game of Thrones.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Can't they give his name? Okay, 30 seconds left, you guys. This is a good experiment. Where's the big woman? Oh, yeah. He's in it because they're all bunch of... The wildling, not manse, but the other wild... Yeah, the guy, the red hair.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Haired wildly. Yes, yes. And he's like a mashup in the making. Has a horrible death. There's a lot of great deaths. Here we go. That's what you want from, you know. That's what you want.
Starting point is 00:16:54 And because they floss, right? Yeah, because they floss. And at the end, Travis will have to talk about this. But in the end, there's a death that I'm not sure. It ends weird. I don't want to give anything away. I know there's a 10-year-old movie and there's nothing to spoil really, but people should. Coming up on TMS.
Starting point is 00:17:11 There it was. People should. People should. it. I mean, it was probably just watch it. Wow. I don't know what I meant. Oh, no. That didn't. There was a whole minute of wasted air that I still don't know what to do. Yeah. With the information. Do you have that anywhere else? No. No backup on you. Oh, no, I do have. I have the file that's fixed, I guess. But I don't, but I don't have it marked anywhere. I'd have to search for it. Oh, to figure out what people should do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'd have to go to that exact spot, figure out the time and do all that. So here's what you got to do. Listener's a home. You re-download yesterday's show. Yeah. You just listen to it naturally because you're not going to know where to jump forward to him anyway. Just know that you can be after the song somewhere.
Starting point is 00:17:53 And then wait for that moment. And then it'll tell you. That's it. It's it. It's a song. Maybe the last several minutes of the show are in your email. You can't get to it. Oh, I guess listeners have no idea because that was all pre-show the Scott's email was.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Oh, right. Yeah, I didn't do that during the show. Well, anyway, the point is. is, it's all up there now. I fixed it. Okay? I fixed it. I replaced the file. Some of your players may be a little cashy and decide to, you know, go chokey choke on it or whatever. But give it a minute. It'll all work out. Thank you, Mark from Wisconsin. We appreciate your email. If you'd like to email us, you certainly can. That email is the morning stream at gmail.com. We got a lot coming up today, including Wendy and some other stuff. But now it's time for news. The news is brought to you by... Brought to you by Coverville today, 1 p.m. Mountain Time, the only time zone that matters, at Twitch TV slash Coverville. Today, celebrating the birthday yesterday of Snoop Doggy Dog, also known as Snoop Dogg, also known as Snoop Lion, and real name Calvin Brodus. Oh, is that his name? I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Yeah, Calvin. He looks like a Calvin, doesn't he? Oh, weird. Now it makes me wonder, I'm watching the rewatching the wire, and in there is a character named Brodus, and also a character named Snoop, but they're two separate people. Now I'm wondering, do they name these guys after? Yeah, I don't know. That'd be interesting if they were. Anyway, so covers of all of his hits. Now, if you're not a fan of rap, don't worry.
Starting point is 00:19:28 It's a coverville, right? So you're going to hear covers of Snoop Dog songs by folks like Scott Bradley and Postmodern Jukebox, the baseballs, cissy bar, Rally. Oh, Raleigh is great. Rally is a Swedish band. And they do a cover of, what's my name? Who am I? What's my name? Snoop Dog, you dog.
Starting point is 00:19:52 What's my name? Snoop Dog, you dog. But it's all in Swedish, and it's the best. It's a female lead singer, and it's so good. All of these coming up on Coverville today. And watch as I play Death Loop for the last time during a Coverville, because Guardians of the Galaxy comes out next week, and that'll probably be the one that I play.
Starting point is 00:20:15 during the show from now on. Do that mean you've beaten or you'll beat? Oh, yeah, beating it. Yeah, totally completed the game, left nothing unfinished and... No stone unturned. No stone unturned. Completed the game.
Starting point is 00:20:27 And, yeah, the loop has been undethed. You've closed the loop. Well done. I've closed the loop. I've closed the loop. Dice tomato, no. You know, the Gord's version of gin and juice is a Hall of Fame cover. It is, it is, without a doubt,
Starting point is 00:20:42 the best cover of gin and juice, or the most well-known cover of gin and juice. However, this version by Sissy Bar is really, really good. If not for the lone fact that it's a pair of female lead singers, and they change smoking endo to smoke in menthols. Oh, wow. That's amazing. And it's great.
Starting point is 00:21:06 It's so good. Sissy Bar, Jinn-Jews, you'll hear that. And many, many others today, Coverville, Twitch.tvil, 1 p.m. Mountain Time. Be there. Here's a four-second preview. I smoke weed every day. That's new. I haven't heard that guy.
Starting point is 00:21:24 I've heard that guy, but I haven't heard that clip. It's our bees guy, and I don't know why I have that clip. I don't know why I have that clip. I thought that was Snoop. I don't know why we haven't used it. Why haven't we used it, Scott? I don't know. Well, now we have.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Now we have. Now we have. Let's get to the news. Crisis averted. We've got a few stories here. It all happened over some cheese eggs This falling in this next story Cheese eggs
Starting point is 00:21:49 Yeah man says Waffle House waitress pulled a gun on him Ooh Wow, that's an unusual turn of events That's usually the other way around Yeah It says it was a frightening moment for a customer After he said a waitress at a Waffle House
Starting point is 00:22:04 pointed a gun at his head after a dispute over his food She was like She will blow my brains out Says Candy Franklin You know, news organizations, you have full cart blanche to take out likes and you know's and stuff like that. I mean, I know you're going for accuracy here, but I feel like that stuff's... Yeah, we'll let it slide. We can leave them out. Yeah, the meaning will still be there.
Starting point is 00:22:31 We implore you to leave them out. Candy Franklin said the argument, said an argument with the waitress over food sizzled out of control this last Wednesday. Quote, it happened over these cheese eggs. At first, they didn't bring them to me. Then they brought me normal eggs, and I said that I ordered eggs with cheese on it. I tipped her and everything. It was all normal dispute over food. I never in a million years thought it would come to gun violence, says Franklin.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Franklin said it happened at the Marretti Street. Marietta. There you go. Big town in Georgia, Marietta. Oh, is it? And also a street, apparently, too. Marietta Street. But Marietta, Georgia is a...
Starting point is 00:23:10 Oh, okay. Okay. Like a whole place, people live and stuff. It's a whole place where people live. They live and subsist and all that. Yes. Fantastic. There's also coming. Oh.
Starting point is 00:23:20 There's coming in Georgia. Okay. Oh, is there? Is there? There is. Yeah, there's coming, yeah. Great. Yeah, but it's spelled, well, I know if it's spelled better or words.
Starting point is 00:23:28 It's C-U-M-M-I-N-G. So maybe it's not. That's terrible. It's a terrible way to spell it. Do you guys have the convenience store come and go? No. It's like a loaf and jug or, you know. and it's spelled
Starting point is 00:23:42 K-U-M-N-G-O. It's like they said, what's the worst way we could spell this? No kidding. Why not spell it C-O-M-E and go? Come and go. Like, oh, I'm going to go to come and go and get some ice. Look, unless you're Mortal Kombat,
Starting point is 00:23:58 you don't get to use the K like that. Okay. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? There's only... We'll allow Chloe's and Courtney's and... Sure. Because those are their names.
Starting point is 00:24:09 You know, they were born with a K-K-L-R-R-R-A-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-... K. That's their thing. Moral Combat, they get away with it because they just have. You can't just suddenly have a place with a K in it. Don't do that. It's lame. We don't have a loaf and jug. I love that name. Is that a real thing? Loaf and jug we have. Yeah, there's a loaf and jug a block away from my house. Those feel like they've been around forever. And it's like, you go there for a loaf of brandy jug of wine, but they don't sell wine. Maybe it's just milk, the jug of milk, you know? Or is my daughter you would say? said when she was a little mute.
Starting point is 00:24:42 She used to call mute. Mute? Yeah, like newt, but with an M. She'd say, Daddy, I want more mute. That was her thing. Let's see. Or she'd say chocket mute. So not chocolate, but chocket.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Chucket mute. That's adorable. Yeah, she was cute that way. She's funny because the other two kids, when you grow up with yourself, and maybe you can speak to this because you were an only child, and you've had one as well, it seemed like I've both been one and hosted one. Hosted one, right.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Created one, yeah. You introduced one to some eggs at one point. Anyway. Yeah. So the point is, oh yeah, so Taylor being the first, the first one, our experience was,
Starting point is 00:25:26 at first we didn't know any different because it's just the one that we have. But the other two come along, and those two picked up speaking and words and just nuance of words and pronunciations and all that stuff way faster.
Starting point is 00:25:39 And Nick, by the time Nick came around, he's talking at two, like he's Mr. Fluent at everything. Carter, pretty good. And then Taylor, kind of not great. She did a lot of, you know, whatever. So I think what happens is the siblings are there, especially when they're three years apart, to sort of help you speak sooner because you're there with you, like the parents are with you. And, you know, it's doubling down. As a kid, you see the other kids, even though they're older, you see the other kids as your bellwether. It's like, all right, I need to be doing what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:26:06 You work harder to do it. when it's just like, you know, a kid, only child sitting there at home doing whatever, then without that built-in competition. Because your parents already adore you, so it's not like you have to impress them. Right, exactly. Like, they're not saying, oh, we're only going to like you if you start talking. Tristan didn't talk for a long time. Like, he was a silent kid. He didn't talk until he finally had something to say, and then we couldn't shut him up.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Yeah. That's the problem. But he walked earlier than average. Oh, interesting. Yeah, I wonder if they're just more mechanically motivated at that point and like linguistics come later. I think every kid's different. It's, you know, just the fact that you can't really, something like that with so many variables and a product of their surroundings, you can't really say, well, this one was way late. This one was way early and that sort of thing.
Starting point is 00:27:06 That's true. There's no standard. I was talking and reading at an early age. Oh, yeah? What were you reading? You know, the Iliad. I was hoping you would go, something falloutin like that. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:27:22 What am I going to say? I don't know. Dr. Susan. I was just reading things like menus and stuff. My mom loves to tell the story, which I'm sure she's embellished and added to over time. Sure. But that we went to a restaurant. I don't know how long.
Starting point is 00:27:36 old I was like a year I really don't know she could tell the story better than I and and the waitress comes over and says do you guys know what you're going to have and she says oh I'm going to have this and I said I'm going to have that and I'm pointing to it on the menu and she says he knows where it is on the menu and she says no he reads
Starting point is 00:27:54 the menu and she had me read like the first five items on the menu to prove that I wasn't that she wasn't lying now whether or not that actually happened is up for debate Moms like to do this. They like to...
Starting point is 00:28:08 Oh, they absolutely do. Yeah, we've... Tina and I have, like, questioned a few of the stories. My mom tells, like, yeah, I don't remember that ever happening. Yeah. Yeah. No, you're... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:19 They, we haven't started doing that yet, but I fully expect to push those stories more. You're going to be doing that as a grandparent for sure. Yeah. For sure. And so, Kim, we'll just do it. But my parents definitely do it. My mom these days will be like, oh, I remember that bra, bra, bra, bra. I'm like, I remember two, and that did not
Starting point is 00:28:37 freaking happen, but all right. Whatever you want to do, mom, it's fine with me. Anyway, don't pull guns on people because of their... Oh, yeah, yeah. I don't even know what... So just cheese eggs are... They just have to call it cheese eggs. They can't just say eggs with cheese on them. Yeah, just say...
Starting point is 00:28:53 Cheese eggs. I specifically ordered cheese eggs. I ordered some salt and pepper eggs earlier. Yeah, where's the salt and pepper eggs? No, these are eggs you put salt and pepper on. No, I ordered them with the... Like, I don't know. I don't know if... that was what was going on but he said this he says he was looking down at his food making sure
Starting point is 00:29:09 it was right and that's when he saw people running he looked up and she had a gun on me um i didn't think she would shoot but she cocked it back was very oh my god wow um she's like well maybe i'm maybe she's about to do something now it's time for me to turn into rambo and get out of here says franklin that's not how rambo works no no no it may be how dirty harry works but not i don't think that's how rambo works Oh, Carter, by the way, sorry, back to this point. Carter's in the chat and she says, I already do this. I already embellished stories.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Oh, you're already doing this. You already like that. I'm already there. That took no time at all. Van's able to land a plane right now. He doesn't have his license yet. He'll get it eventually, but he can just land it. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:29:57 All right. Moving on to this story. I don't, hold on a second. This last sentence that's in here, Um, oh, yeah, this is them. I don't know who the journalist is. It's terrible. I didn't see it before.
Starting point is 00:30:11 As tensions boiled, Franklin is glad things weren't worst. Things weren't worst. What the, well, at least, at least things weren't worse. J.C. Calhoun, not a two-year-old cannot land a plane. Oh, I get it. Well, you technically can. Everybody could land a plane, just whether or not you are able to get out of it
Starting point is 00:30:35 after doing it. Yeah, landing, I guess landing deserves some definition there. Right, right. All right. Check out this artist. This is crazy. An artist recruits 300 people, nude people. Nude.
Starting point is 00:30:46 How come you didn't say it like that? Nude. They were nude. There we go. For a photo shoot near the Dead Sea in Israel. Some 300 male and female volunteers stripped naked and donned white body paint. For a grand video. Yeah, heck yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:00 She's on the sand and how does that go? She dances on the sand. Yeah, there you go. They put them in white body paint for artistic installation meant to draw attention to the shrinking dead sea. Well, definitely would draw attention, I suppose. Because that's the idea. Posted Sunday for the American photographer,
Starting point is 00:31:18 or they pose Sunday, rather, for American photographer Spencer Tunic, who has done similar installations in exotic locales around the world, including French wine country, a Swiss glacier, as the British would say, and a beach in South Africa. The shoot was promoted by Israel's tourism ministry. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:31:37 There's a photo here that's not, it's fine for Twitch. Hold on. Yeah, it's fine for everything. It's fine for everything. It's maybe not great for a couple of the bodies I see, but whatever. It's fine. They're okay. So, yeah, see all those people?
Starting point is 00:31:51 I just put it in the chat too. Oh, yeah, there you go. So look at them all. They're all just out there, naked with some kind of white powder. You can see more of this on Seinfeld than you can. That happened the other night I forgot to tell you about this So you told me about that thing
Starting point is 00:32:08 And put that GIF in the thing So I knew about it I hadn't heard So there was my first exposure So the other night We were like Oh there's the beach one With the lobsters
Starting point is 00:32:15 And the shrinkage and everything Kim's like What's the deal And I'm like this is the one where she goes Oh the one where you can kind of see Your side boob And I said How do you know about this?
Starting point is 00:32:23 She goes Everyone knows about this or something I'm like really? Like I had no idea So her and Carter already knew Howder Carter and her already knew somehow So then I look like some kind of weird purve in there going, hold on, hold on, pause it for a second.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Is this the scene? Oh, wait, okay. Get out of a car. Get out of my way. You're in the way. I can't see it. Like, it looked like I just couldn't wait to see this free boob on TV. Oh, how times have changed since the nudity towel.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Yeah. Now I'm like, pull the towel off the TV. Right, exactly. But I just wanted to see if it was true or if Netflix had gone in there and done any little hanky-panky with it, like edited it. Oh, right. If they fixed it. Yeah. And no such thing.
Starting point is 00:33:01 They're too distracted by that. I guess that Dave Chappelle thing's very controversial, and they're all walking today or something? There's like a walkout? There is a walkout. Yeah. Flicks walkout. I just want to see what's going on with it. I saw somebody destroy a sign.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Who will push play when I go to Squid Game and want to watch it? Who will push play for me on the other side when I push play on my side? Yeah, who will that be? Who will that be? Who will do that? Who will step up? Help Brian. Let's see. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:34 So does the Chappelle special Spurs Netflix walk out. Oh, yeah. Look at that. There's a whole bunch of people. Yeah. Well, Netflix, good luck with that. Yeah, I mean, it's... Not going near that fire.
Starting point is 00:33:46 I don't want to go anywhere. Oh, he's worse than EA. It's Talley. Whoa. I know how about you hate EA, so... Yeah, I haven't heard. I know that the comments are very transgender homophobic and are transphobic, transphobic and
Starting point is 00:34:02 I don't know how in this day and I know Chappelle likes to be edgy and stuff like that but man it just feels like there's there's lines you don't cross yeah well he and I like I liked Dave Chappelle
Starting point is 00:34:18 and I probably still like he's a brilliant comedian there's no question he's a brilliant comedian but uh yeah I didn't see it so I don't know I won't judge because I have no idea but I haven't seen That's what I'm saying. So I don't know the comments, but Dice Tomato says the media spin is transphobic, not his content.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Oh, really? Okay. All right. I don't know. I mean, listen, the chatmer's probably about to have a fight now. It's one of my, I'm thinking so. So I'm going to stay away from this. It's early.
Starting point is 00:34:45 I mean, we haven't even gotten into therapy Thursday yet. I don't know. So they're already in fisticuffs. Yeah, I'm avoiding all this. Let's move to this story about Reno. You know, Reno is a lot like Vegas except Grocer. That's right. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:34:59 It's the RC Cola to Vegas's Coke Oh, that's a great way of putting it I've never heard that before It's the Dr. Thunder to Vegas's Dr. Pepper You know, Dr. Thunder's not too bad But also I haven't had it in 20 years or so What do I know?
Starting point is 00:35:13 Well, Dr. Pepper's zero. Okay, let's do that. Oh, it's the Diet Coke. Reno is the Diet Coke to Vegas's Coke Zero. Perfect. There you go. There you go. All right. Reno bans use of whips downtown. You can't have no more whips in Reno.
Starting point is 00:35:27 And the reason is it sounds. sounds like gunfire, that's why. What about it in my hotel room? Can I still have them in my hotel room? As long as no one thinks anyone's shooting a gun in your hotel room, I'm going to say yes. But you can't be outside. Damn. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:35:41 The Reno City Council has banned the possession and use of whips without a permit in the greater downtown area. I guess that's where maybe you could get a permit, Brian, a permit. Oh, I can get a whip permit. Yeah, a whipper. Whip permit. Hello, may I get a whip permit, please? That's a pretty good, Mr. Burns, you got to go on there. What about a writing crop?
Starting point is 00:36:01 Can I still use my writing crop in the hotel room? Yes, and your gag ball, those are fine. Okay, good. You can have your multiple gag balls you take with you on trips and stuff. It's totally fine. They're called ball gags. Oh, ball gags. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:36:13 What do I say gag balls? Gag balls. Sounds like a Saturday morning kid commercial. Gag balls! Gag balls from Galoob. Oh, yeah. I'd love a. Remember Galub was making everything.
Starting point is 00:36:27 back in the day. Galube was great. Glob wanted our money, man. Yeah, gag balls. So it's not gag balls. It's ball gags. Now it's starting to mix up in my head. It is ball gags.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Ball gags. Yes, ball gags. Okay. It's a ball that gags. Just don't Google. I know you're going to your question whether or that. Sometimes I do that. This is one I am not doing that.
Starting point is 00:36:47 This is one where no matter if you're right, we're still all wrong. Yeah. No, thank you. We're still all lose. All right. Here's the, oh, yeah. So the whole deal is there's been a big, what they call a steep increase over the past two years of 911 calls from residents who
Starting point is 00:37:02 mistake the sound of a cracking whip as gunfire says here at whips are a daily part of life in many rural areas where ranchers and livestock operators use sharp crack producing sounds to scare or direct a herd of animals so sure cowboy stuff Reno's got it's fair sure of that stuff the council voted six to one to approve the ordinance Wednesday and the one guy damn it how am I going to get my cattle back in of the thires how's it gonna do it?
Starting point is 00:37:30 It's not going to happen. Anyway, police recommend banning their, or say, recommended banning their use downtown because the sound resums the sounds of shots.
Starting point is 00:37:39 They also said, they, let's see, he said they also are being used in public areas for fights and intimidation. Oh,
Starting point is 00:37:47 so like a game. Like the warriors are all of a sudden. Yeah. They'd be like a theme gang, wouldn't they? Right. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:37:55 They'd be the Indiana Jones gang or the Cowboy gang. I was thinking like, you know, Reno has to have an equivalent of Fremont. I guess Reno is Fremont Street. Yeah, yeah. Really. Basically. But there has to be like a performance area where you've got somebody who uses a whip to knock a cigarette out of somebody's mouth, you know, standing sideways or or to put a hole in the center of an ace of spades or something like that, right? A figure. Yeah, yeah. That's the, I mean. It's not all topless nuns and naked marionettes. Yeah, or on the other end, cattle wrestling. There's stuff in between. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Like, how am I going to do my Indiana Jones cosplay without a whip? You know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. So you're going to do that proper. You're going to have a big old whip, and you're going to know how to use it. You know, people are starting to have to ask for their time off for 2022. We might need to start figuring out if we're doing a term of fingers.
Starting point is 00:38:44 I want to do a team as Vegas. I kind of feel like right now I kind of want to do it no matter what, because here's my thinking. We design it. it's already kind of this anyway. It's super casual, right? It's not like a major thing where we got to worry about indoor systems and now we're all indoors. And what does that mean for COVID? Like we're going to, I think the way we plan it is like, all right, it's happening. Here are the, here's our plans. It's real simple. The meetups are at these places. Those places exist anyway. They're open anyway. It's not like some special thing. They'll have their own. If they have requirements, they'll have their own requirements of masks or vaccines or whatever. Right. Right. Right. So, yeah, I don't know the best thing to do at this stage, but I feel like we should say yes right now and then just go for it. And then if we get that far, let's say we get to March or April or whatever.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Because I'm thinking April, last weekend in April, I think is kind of what I'm looking. Since we've got last week of March, we've got pinball festival. And last week of April is like, it's warm enough to get in the pool. Yeah, I love it. But April is my favorite time of year in Nevada. It's great. Yeah. So totally agree.
Starting point is 00:39:55 I really feel like we can, and here's the nice thing, unlike a nerdtacular where I got to, like, put 10 grand down on events and all that. Way in advance. Yeah. Yeah, we don't have to do any of that. We can just say, yeah, we're planning on it. And as we get closer, we'll make a decision as we get closer. It's fine. Don't you think?
Starting point is 00:40:11 We'll start talking offline and I emailed you a bunch of dates. I don't know why I haven't responded to them. Did you really? Did you send me dates? No, I'm kidding. It's another email, missing email joke. Oh, I see. By the way, everybody listening, if you send anything to Scott at frogpants.com, it ain't getting nowhere today, all right?
Starting point is 00:40:28 So don't do that. Send it to My ExtraLife.com or at gmail. Or send it to Frogpants. I'll see it, Gmail. One of my Gmail addresses, don't do Frogpans. My email is dead. Scoop Fest is last week of April, Wolfglen, because that might actually work in our favor. It would work in our favor.
Starting point is 00:40:49 And we take the last weekend. Yeah. Um, that might work in my favor. Because there's, there's some overlap of, of, uh, Diamond Club folks and, uh, Scoop folks and Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And TMS folks. Yeah, I think that would be cool. Uh, I would like that. Anyway, all right. So, so, uh, yeah, we'll talk offline and we'll let you guys know when we have something, uh, going. Well, there you have it. Um, anyway, no whips. No, yeah,
Starting point is 00:41:13 don't bring your whips. You can, actually, if we have it in Vegas, bring your whips. If we have it in Reno, don't bring your whips. No. And if we haven't Reno, then we've done something really wrong. We've made a huge mistake. Right. A huge error. All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, my sister Wendy's going to join us. We're going to talk about some lighter fare today. Good.
Starting point is 00:41:32 We've had a couple of heavy therapy Thursdays in a row. So I'm looking forward to this one. What gift ideas should I get for my friends for this holiday season? That's it right? That's the question. That's the question. What should I get for this Christmas?
Starting point is 00:41:48 No, it's somewhere in between, though. It's a little Halloween-ish and one of our favorite Cadpooler sent this in. So we're going to talk about it. When we come back after this break with this song that Brian and I'll tell you about right now. Yeah, back up to Vancouver, Canada for another punk rock band. These guys,
Starting point is 00:42:03 I think we've played before. I bet we've played another song from their upcoming release. I'm looking right now to see I don't see it, but I'm pretty sure that I've seen these guys in their jean jackets before. In any case, this is another song from their upcoming album, them, um, which comes out,
Starting point is 00:42:23 comes out. I don't have a date. Why don't have a date? Oh, because this is just a single they've released. This is like it's on its own. All right, here's a new single from Vancouver band, The Core, C-O-R-P-S, with their new song, The Last Last Laugh. Oh, should I sue them for using the name Core? Oh, wait, it's not spelled the same. Nevermind. It's fine. Right, exactly. No suit here. All right. We'll be right back, everybody. White and told It's better to lead than to follow Survival guide

She's currently showing offline, so I'm going to... Hi, sorry, we have a whole other thing going on. We got the chat all warmed up for you. Yeah, we got.
Starting point is 00:47:49 I've got them all warmed up. You're going to make them mad? No, no, no. It's just, there's a... We put them all in a glass jar and put a magnifying glass on it right before Therapy Thursday, so it's perfect. Here's the truth. The truth is they're a very passionate group of people, and sometimes that passion spills
Starting point is 00:48:05 over in the chat, and it's okay. It's all right that it does. I'm glad we can be a place where they can have it out with each other a little bit, and I hope they'll be respectful and all that. All right. Hey, Wendy, it's my sister Wendy, and how do you know? because this plays That's right

Starting point is 00:48:31 Wendy how are you? I'm great That was quite the introduction there Wasn't it? It was a real Long-winded introduction I gave you Oh gosh Wait take it down a notch Wendy
Starting point is 00:48:44 Geez Everyone's got a You've got some energy coming out. Yeah, I do have a little bit today. I don't know why. It's good. I haven't lately, so I'm glad I have it now. The last couple days, I felt like I've had no energy.
Starting point is 00:48:56 So I don't know what's going on today. I feel better today. Anyway, hey, let's get to it. We're going to go, I was talking to Brian earlier. We're going to go a little lighter today on the subject matter. Yeah, because we've had some heavies. Yeah. The last couple were real rough.
Starting point is 00:49:10 So we're going to dive right into this. This is an email from Amy, a regular to the tadpole. and it says this Hi Scott and Brian and Wendy I have a question for Wendy that is somewhat lighter fair but is appropriate for the Halloween season I would like to understand the psychology of the differing levels of tolerance people have
Starting point is 00:49:29 for fictional scary things she says I have none I cannot watch anything remotely creepy or scary I took Brian's recommendation for that you show and I couldn't sleep for a week good job Brian thanks thanks yeah thanks for throwing me under the bus And that's like, and you is like not even really scary as much as much as it's just creepy,
Starting point is 00:49:53 thrillery kind of stuff. Yeah, I've heard really, well, from you and others, really good things about it. But it sounds like it's just, you know, strange in a way that's unsettling. It's a stalker. It's basically about a stalker that you almost root for in the same way. You root for Dexter the serial killer. Yeah. Yeah, which is a weird thing to do.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Almost. on the surface, but once you see the show, you kind of get it. Yeah, anti-hero stuff and all that. Right. Anyway. I like extra better. Yeah. Anyway, she says, she couldn't sleep for a week.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Never mind actual horror movies or haunted houses. I cannot do them. My brain just kicks into hyperdrive and makes me completely terrified, even if I appreciate the story or the humor, I just can't do it. However, I have lots of friends who just love creepy stuff and enjoy the crap out of horror movies, and I just don't understand why my brain won't let me enjoy things like that. I just end up saying, quote, I can definitely see why you like it, unquote.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Love the show, though, Amy. So it's an interesting one. It made me ask myself about my own... I really like a good horror movie. The movies I don't like are ones where people are realistically terrible to each other. Like, I could watch a slasher movie any day of the week, and who cares? I'm just having a good time. You're laughing at the ways people are dying.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Like, it's no big deal. If you show me a movie that's like, here's the true story of Ted Bundy and the things he did. No, thanks. Not into it. I was thinking you were talking about people being jerks to each other like succession. Oh, no, no. I mean, that stuff, too.
Starting point is 00:51:22 That stuff wears me out sometimes. But, you know, when it's well written and stuff, I can deal with it. But when it comes to, like, creepy, scary stuff, I mean, the only horror movies that really scared me were that, was that hereditary movie. Oh, yeah. And the midsummer, and the same director did both. Both those movies. Same director, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:40 place, man. I have a problem with possession movies if they're done well, if they're done believably. It's like Carter with zombies. She doesn't like the idea that somebody's totally different than they were. Like a possession movie is all about somebody being forced to be a thing they're not. Being changed or out of their control being something else. Yeah. And so there's some examples.
Starting point is 00:52:05 You don't like that. I don't, I'm, you know, I'm a little more, I'm less open to realize. and more open to fantasy but sounds like amy can't do any of it and i'm sure there's plenty of people like her he doesn't like bookstore stockers yeah yeah so so windy where do you how do you well first of all what is this that we're even talking about is there a name for this or is there a you know how do you want to go chicken shit syndrome yeah that's what's called yeah uh you know there's probably a name i actually forgot we're talking about this day so i was going to look it up got um but it is i mean i can i can kind of explain why part of it is okay everyone has
Starting point is 00:52:49 their own first of all let's start with this everyone has their own history yeah okay so um the other weekend we were up on the north shore of lake superior with some friends and we were all sharing what we remember seeing accidentally as children and it was fascinating you know your babysitting and the family had cable and you watch the most disturbing thing you've ever seen and my memory was and Scott I feel like you're probably there for this memory but I don't remember because I only remember one thing which is walking into Aunt Susan's basement and seeing on a TV in my mind it was a big screen TV which of course didn't even exist then so it must have been not true but it was so big life to me and it was a movie that had a movie that had
Starting point is 00:53:40 something to do with airplanes or something, but the only thing I really remember, and it is vivid in my head, and you know I don't visualize things very well, is someone having their fingers cut off in a paper cutter, you know, those big old paper slicers. Oh, yeah, that's no good. It was a movie about airplanes? Yesterday, right? I'm trying to think, is there a way to find out who got their fingers cut off in an airplane movie? Well, that's what my friend's husband did. He Googled all night to try to help me figure out what movie it was and it's it's possible that it I don't know because our memories are weird right I could have been made it made half this up I don't know but I don't
Starting point is 00:54:18 think I would have made up the paper cutter finger thing yeah but you know I'm sure there are plenty movies from the 70s and 80s that have this scene well think of like you know I to aid the other day what his fears were when he was younger and have they changed and he's like oh quicksand I thought for sure all of us ready for quicksand deaths yeah because the movies make it seem like it's they're all, it's all over the place. Like, totally. You walk through the wrong person's yard, right? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Right. You know what's funny. And it could have been during a happy movie like Princess Bride and you were like, yeah, that's going to be how I die because I'm six years old. Or a bad movie like Indiana Jones 4. Sure. What's funny is that we kind of all have these or I don't know about all of us, but certainly the three of us have these movies that we don't remember the movie itself, but we
Starting point is 00:55:06 remember the scene that freaked us out. Like, Scott, you had the rolling boulders coming towards a, and there was somebody else, there was another thing with a, um, uh, somebody in an aquarium getting their head. Oh, that's me also. Yeah, that was me as well. And it was, um, Elliot Gould cutting off some lady's head in a fish tank is what it was. Right. And then, uh, Wendy, you're talking about yours?
Starting point is 00:55:29 I had, it took me a long time to find the movie and I bought it on Blu-ray and I still haven't watched it. I don't even know if I still have it. we got to talk about that where is it but it was a movie called the not the relic crap now I can't remember it
Starting point is 00:55:45 like somebody falls through a glass ceiling above a swimming pool and there's shards of glass in the pool coming down in the people who are in there and a cat a white cat really fluffy one hissing and then like what is it dude
Starting point is 00:56:01 I can't remember I bought the damn blu-ray I will get it. I will go and get it out off the shelf while we're doing this. It's not constant. Way older than that. Like a 19, late 70s, early 80s horror film. And it's, what's like an heir, but what's another name for an air?
Starting point is 00:56:20 Like somebody that gets something. Not heretic. You are succession, not succession. What? Legacy. The legacy. It might be the legacy. The legacy.
Starting point is 00:56:33 The two of them might have found it. Hold in a second. The legacy trailer. What I like about this, by the way, while you're looking that up, these all have something in common. They're all gritty and ugly televised garbage from the 70s and early 80s, which is the two movies Brian's mentioned the head cutting off and the rocks following the SUV or the RV thing are all like 77 low rent garbage horror movies that I just happened upon. Like I didn't go to watch them. they just were on at our friend's house and I happened to see a scene that really
Starting point is 00:57:08 bothered me and then what I did later and this Brian I'm sure this is probably why you bought the Blu-ray so you can go back it was really cathartic for me to find that RV one and watch that scene and then go this is stupid this is so dumb why is this
Starting point is 00:57:24 bit of my head so long it's so dumb it's absolutely the legacy and I put the trailer in the chat room Catherine Ross and Roger Daltry of all people from the who um and 1978 seeing the just seeing the trailer on tv freaked me out so much i wouldn't watch tv um when it's on oh yeah there's like a scene where somebody swims like they're stuck under
Starting point is 00:57:48 ice or stuck under glass in a swimming pool that freaked me out oh i don't like that either there it is right there pops and recline found the scene too all right so go ahead sorry please continue well i well obviously we're uh dredging up some uh some space and your brains and what it is is okay so you're a little kid the world is a particular thing it's safe in theory and you're exposed to something notice at least god and i both our stories are we happen upon it yeah we walk into someone's house into a basement and suddenly it's playing and it's a scene i didn't watch the whole movie i watched one gross thing you know and it was so i'm sure it's so cheesy i don't know but it's the it's the way our brains work so we all have
Starting point is 00:58:33 an amygdala. And the amygdala is, that's the word for almond in Greek. Is it really? It looks like a little almond. Yeah. Hold on. Are you saying there's such thing as amygdala butter? Is that what you're telling me? Yeah. Or amygdala joy? Okay. I think it's Greek. I need to double check. But anyway, it is, it's tiny, it's like an almond. That's why it's because it's small. Looks like an almond. And it is, it's got two jobs. Its job is to look around, scan everything in your life, every smell, everything you can see, everything you can touch. It uses all your senses to see if you are safe
Starting point is 00:59:11 or to see if you are in danger. That's its primary job. And so when it sees something that is perceived as danger. So imagine a young kid, and I always think about this today, so a young kid looking at instantly seeing a horror movie now in like the most incredible technological color, versus the 1970s.
Starting point is 00:59:35 It kind of doesn't matter, but I can imagine it might be even worse. Because it's so visual and it's so well done, it looks so real. But it doesn't kind of matter because the amygdala just scanned the room and said, oh, your aunt's basement that's supposed to be fun is now a place where people get their fingers chopped off. And you have some reality check. You know that's not actually happening, but the amygdala doesn't know. It doesn't know. It just knows that that's a terrifying thing and you need to be safe from that.
Starting point is 01:00:03 So it scares you. It kind of imprints itself a little bit there. And then later on, you're living your life, doing your thing. You're, I mean, I'm Amy. I don't want to watch any horror shows. Like, that is so unappealing to me. And it's not, I just don't find any of it entertaining. And if it was actually really good, it would scare me.
Starting point is 01:00:23 And I don't want to be scared. That's like unappealing. I don't know if it's directly connected to the hands getting chopped off or not. Yeah. I think it has more to do with that I like to, you know, I hear enough hard stuff that to suddenly spend my evening watching hard stuff is hard for me. I'd rather laugh. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:39 I can't imagine. I was trying to imagine the other day. Like what, what would it be like for Wendy to see? I'd see a TV show or an episode where it deals with a bunch of, I don't know, domestic mental health stuff or something. An episode of The Wire, for example, just dealt with some of this. And I thought, my sister, there's no way she's going to want to sit down and relax to this.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Like, this is not a story she wants to hear. because A, you dealt with it all day, and B, it's kind of realistic. So you really would be dealing with it twice. I always wondered about that. So now I guess I have my answer. Well, so I just watched that you answered yourself. Would you like my answer? Yeah, I answered myself.
Starting point is 01:01:18 You go ahead and supplement my answer that I gave myself, but go ahead. No, I don't seek it out. But once it starts and I'm just watching it and it's like really well done, I can't turn away, just like any human, right? it's just I don't seek it out which is kind of my point here for Amy is other people are seeking this out and it doesn't make a lot of sense
Starting point is 01:01:39 to her and similar to me like I don't know why you guys want to be sad all night that does not make sense but it's because of course it's human drama we're all attracted to seeing human drama especially when it's not our own I mean just make a weird noise
Starting point is 01:01:55 or have a little fake fight in a restaurant you're going to get everyone's eyeballs everyone's we are so tuned in, and that's because we all have amygdalas, we are so tuned in when we scan our environment, is it safe or not? So the amygdala also does, I am scanning the environment and it is safe. I'm with this particular person. I am safe. At this person, it's unknown. So then anxiety is the result. So amygdala sends out a signal. The brain, the cortex of the brain goes, oh, let's make a story. So we understand this response and it's, I'm going to die.
Starting point is 01:02:31 Or this person's very kind and is telling me the truth. Maybe I'm safe. And the system will just respond. We just have a communication, two parts of the brain that are going back and forth about are we okay or are we not. The problem is the cortex is incredibly good with stories and it can scare the amygdala. So that's what everyone's choosing to do with these movies is they're choosing to get scared a little bit. There's something really fun about that. And that's because your life is, you're not in a war-torn country.
Starting point is 01:03:01 You're not currently being threatened because it's entertainment. And that's because of the way the cortex is like, ooh, tell me a story to make me a little scared. We all love that a little bit, right? But you don't love that if your life is actually scary. Or you maybe had a bad experience when you were a kid or maybe you just have a higher sensitivity. There's another thing here. Pete has this in spades with a heartbreaking things or awkward things. So, I mean, I don't know when the last time you sat down and watched all the Pixar shorts.
Starting point is 01:03:34 Oh, yeah. There's a few that are so dang manipulative. Holy cow. And my kid. Is that too. Yeah. Totally. So the one with the dog, there's like a fighting dog that gets rescued and this little abandoned cat.
Starting point is 01:03:51 So we're watching it. The whole family is just kind of sitting there like, oh, this is adorable and so moving. And I turn around and Pete is hiding. under a blanket. He's watching it, but he is wracked with grief and sobbing and sobbing. And he's trying to hide it from us. We're like, buddy, what happened?
Starting point is 01:04:09 And he's just like, how could people treat animals like that? And like, he just feels it so, so deeply. So imagine if he accidentally saw a slasher movie and felt like it's going to go well. But it's because there is differences in emotional receptivity
Starting point is 01:04:25 to certain things. Now, those dole over time as you live life, it's how you sort of survive life because if we were all children and face the reality of life it would crush us all right so some of our walls have to come up and our protections
Starting point is 01:04:39 and all those different things but some people are just more sensitive of others you can show another nine year old that thing and they'd be like oh dogs are dumb and you'd be like okay you know they're just having a different experience the other one is embarrassment this one's really common
Starting point is 01:04:53 is that seeing too much awkwardness like the office is the most paint That would be like literally torturing someone. Yeah. So it's similar. It's just kind of this sensitivity and everyone's a little bit different and she's right. They can enjoy it. Maybe she can't.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Yeah. Watching any show where somebody has to get up in front of a crowd, like do public speaking and fail and screw up. That's like a horror show. That's a hard movie to know. Yeah. We all have our things like that. Like my, you know, everyone always makes fun of me and pooping on a plane, but it's my worst. It's my, I don't want to ever happen.
Starting point is 01:05:28 What movie did you see? see that had. Well, yeah. Good question. I think you to make the little for that one. I don't know where that came from, to be honest. But, but like, you know, me doing, okay, let me ask you this. Clearly, you know, when we're much younger and impressionable and all of that, these are really, you know, there's a stake in the ground when this sort of stuff happens. Like, bam, you're never going to forget this or whatever. Then later in life, you experience a months of life and you realize, huh, it's probably kind of dumb. But you still kind of have this weird fear in your head about the thing you think might be dumb now, but you're not sure.
Starting point is 01:06:02 Is there value in like that exposure therapy to like, like for me to go watch that stupid scene where, what's his name, cuts the head off of this lady with a broken fish tank, sounds terrible just describing it. It's really dumb. It's like super awkward, terribly shot. The effects are bad. Like there's nothing good about it. And I wouldn't have known that had I not gone back and saw it.
Starting point is 01:06:25 And honestly, it felt like a weight lifted. like I saw that one oh this is stupid and I was a kid and of course it freaked me out but now it's dumb so I'm moving on and I'm going to do my best to make it so other kids don't have to feel that way but when they're old enough they'll also see their things are kind of dumb like I had a real moment there is that normal normal to feel that way or should I have felt that way or should I've been still felt like it was bad or something I don't know I'm torn on it yeah okay okay this is I was actually going to ask at the end of this for someone to send us in a phobia question or an OCD question or some type of anxiety questions so I can talk more about the amygdala and the cortex because it's fun and the way I mean you jump to the one of the solutions and that is exposure therapy and so what it does is think of it is like pipes you have this moment as a young person and all the pipes are wide open because you haven't shut any of them yeah. And you see something scary. Okay. And suddenly the amygdala's like, all right, we got to memorize everything about this. So this never happens to us again. This feeling that, you know,
Starting point is 01:07:38 this story back and forth of like, oh, you know, whatever. And you can create phobias. You can create that, you know, this is so scary. Never go here again. Never go to your. I don't know if I ever went in her basement again, I'll be honest. I'm pretty sure I didn't. Right. So what that does is tells let's take that that tells my cortex my amygdala all of the story and the feeling the whole system now knows aunt susan's basement is where bad things happen don't go down there yeah yeah so the so i don't go down there the rest of my life i bet you if i went down there now it's not the same house but if i went down there now i'd be like okay right it would just there'd be light it didn't look the same and just exposing yourself to the change now that's easy to
Starting point is 01:08:25 exposure therapy. Heart exposure therapy is, I'm terrified of spiders. Now I'm going to put one in my hand, right? And so we can talk about how that actually works. If someone sends in a real story, it helps kick that off if someone has a phobia or something. Because what happens is the brain is so good at making sure we don't put ourselves in danger again that it will create whatever it needs to create to stop you from doing it. So if you can do it, now, Now, remember, the pipes were open, you got freaked out, the pipes closed. If we can put you back in the situation that scared you in the first place, it's like the pipes open back up and you can have a new experience.
Starting point is 01:09:08 And like you're doing it with 40 years in between. Yeah, yeah. That's a long time. I did a long time to do that, sure. Yeah, so a long time to have those pipes. So that's why it feels like a weight is lifted is that it's like your amygdala side. Like, oh, right. So that's not scary?
Starting point is 01:09:24 Okay, good. Yeah. And it just doesn't have to hang on to the file that says, be afraid of fish tanks. And that guy with a jagged knife cutting off a lady said. In Elliot Gould. Elliot Gould, that's who it was, yes. Always be afraid of Ross's dad. It just teaches the system.
Starting point is 01:09:38 It doesn't need to be afraid. So, so, okay, let me, so the Susan, Aunt Susan's basement. This is a really great topic for a second. I have a similar thing with it, that basement, but it wasn't a TV thing. It was that everything was wood panel and old looking. and that Uncle Joel had like the world's largest vintage porn collection in every room. I don't know if you knew this, but every room. I did.
Starting point is 01:10:04 I saw it once. Yeah. Yeah. Like he had a one room that was dedicated to tons of stuff that was locked. But then every bathroom had a stack this high of something in them under the thing. You're like, where's the towels. Oh, next to the stack of freaking nudie magazines from the 70s. That's where you'll find the towels.
Starting point is 01:10:22 Every room had a stack of this stuff. And so when we'd go there, it just felt like I was in this seedy, like, red light district, psycho place. And I couldn't wait to get out of there. I just didn't like it. It just felt greasy and weird. And so maybe it was more of that than the TV and the thing you saw. I don't know. It's just a weird joint.
Starting point is 01:10:44 Yeah, so we should both go back to that basement and see if we can handle it. And here's, let me say this caveat. Nobody go expose yourself to your childhood fears unless you're pretty confident you're going to be fine without, you know, like, but most people are if they're either really crippled by this thing or it's kind of like your situation where it's just like, oh, that's weird. That still bugs me and that you can then do it. So, Brian, you're obviously going to watch the trailer and eventually watch this movie, right? I'm going to watch the movie. I've already watched the trailer because I've figured out what movie it was. And I did this, I did this a couple of years ago or a year ago when I wanted to find out what that movie was.
Starting point is 01:11:21 But it's funny. I haven't watched the movie yet. And it certainly isn't because I'm afraid to watch the movie. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. But I think during Halloween time, I'm going to watch it. I'm going to watch it in the next week or so. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 01:11:35 There's also a thing maybe for Amy here. Maybe she just doesn't like it. It's fine. Because there's things people don't like. And I mean, do you like to be? I mean, there are people who really like to be scared, right? Sure. Well, I think she genuinely, I think she genuinely.
Starting point is 01:11:51 was scared by you, by the movie you, not you, Wendy, but the movie or the TV show you. So it wasn't a matter of not liking it. It was just like too much. Yeah. I mean, maybe it's, you know, like any other thing that's maybe less, I don't know, controversial is not the word, but let's just say you don't like science fiction. There's plenty of people just don't care about anything where people are pontificating about space. So why would you, why would you want to watch that? You'd just be bored to tears. In this case, it freaks her out but it's the same kind of thing right maybe it's just a like or a dislike and if you don't like it you know i i don't think there's obviously nothing wrong with that but
Starting point is 01:12:30 i i understand that feeling of like why is everyone else so into this and i'm not or you know that feeling which is which is a whole other thing right that's a whole other thing of of i'm not trying to speak for amy here but you know somebody who may feel that way or wonder why everyone else likes it and i don't is that a you know they have a sense of missing out or there's like a i don't You're not part of the cool kids or something. Well, and I have a question as gamers, like you probably, she might be an odd man out in the gaming interests, right, that maybe a little more gore and a little more intrigue or whatever. Like, that's just normal. And so for all the people there, they're just going to maybe more likely, that's okay.
Starting point is 01:13:14 But for her, she feels really different. And that happens within all the tribes we belong to, right? We sort of, oh, I go to this knitting group, but this lady also really likes baking and I hate baking and why don't I or whatever. So you can just feel a little odd and that's okay. But that's hard. You're right. I mean, that's probably a piece of it. It's like, I should want to like this.
Starting point is 01:13:37 What is my problem? And just maybe you don't. And owning it's actually the best part. I love games and I hate scary things. The Shatry is bringing one up. Like I think we're all kind of in the same. same nerd tribe here, but I just can't get into Doctor Who, like friends can. Like everyone I know likes it more than I do. And I don't hate it, but I just don't care.
Starting point is 01:14:00 It just not my thing. You don't connect with it. It doesn't work for me. And I love British stuff. And so it's not that. It's just, I don't know what it is. But there is that there's once in while that feeling of like, I'm the only one in the room. It doesn't like this thing. And that's not fun. Because, you know, people are going, really? You don't lie. Really? I mean, they're doing the chat already. People are mostly kidding, but they're in there going, unfriend me. That's it. We're done. We can't be friends. Like, I get it. I understand that feeling. It's like when somebody says they don't like Mad Max Fury Road. I cannot understand how they even exist on this planet. It's no different than that. But I just, you know, I just don't feel it the way they feel it. The Mad Max thing's
Starting point is 01:14:39 actually a good point. When I saw that in theaters for the first time, a monumental moment in my life, I love that movie, if it wasn't clear. My sister-in-law, came with us. And she's having the exact opposite experiences that I'm having sitting next to me. And she's right there next to me. It's my wife, me, my sister-in-law, my brother-in-law. She hated it and wanted to leave and didn't like anything about it. We'll never watch it again.
Starting point is 01:15:05 Just absolutely hated it. And I'm over there thinking it's the greatest thing I ever saw in my life. So there's just that, right? Yeah. There is. And there is, but think about the dopamine hit. is when you meet someone and you connect on something, like,
Starting point is 01:15:24 like, I mean, I've done this a couple times because I'm not, I'm not truly nerdy, but I'm surrounded by them. Yeah. And I do love Lord of the Rings,
Starting point is 01:15:33 like a little too much. And I can quote all the movies. And so sometimes I will throw out a Lord of the Rings quote, um, in a really weird space and someone will be like, and I'm like, say, it's a soulmate.
Starting point is 01:15:46 Like there's something about it that is just, so connecting, right? So that high, it's like having the opposite of that high, which is like, hmm, I'm going to be left outside the circle to die. And that's not, we're not even conscious of that, but that's just how humans are. It's who is sort of, we are like interests do give us a tie. And there's some power to that. So when you marry someone or you're in a long term relationship with someone or you're trying to, you know, maintain a long term friendship, you have to find the things that connect you and then you there's got to be a way to figure out how to not have things also be the same yeah because nobody's actually all in the exact same tribe in every
Starting point is 01:16:28 single way right um like doctor who's got i can't believe it i'm really disappointed i'm just trying to picture you though like at a a restaurant and suddenly wendy stands up at dinner throws her napkin down and says a wizard is never late nor is he early he arrives precisely Honestly, when he means to, I just want to see you. I don't do it loud. I always do, I'll do like, I'll tap my nose like Mary and say, like, it'll be things like that. Just like very subtle and stupid. And Adam's always like, okay, stop it.
Starting point is 01:17:04 Do you ever kick the kids out of that, like get to school and say, fly you fools or anything like that? Do that or? All the time. Okay. All the time. And they do it to me. And so it's, it's great. But also, can we just give Bo Burnham a little moment here where he,
Starting point is 01:17:18 says attributing a quote from Lord of the Rings to Martin Luther King it's so funny it's so funny my children have not seen that for many reasons but we have listened to some of those songs
Starting point is 01:17:33 on repeat like White Women's Instagram and the Bo Burnham yeah that funny feeling is such a great song anyway and we laugh and I'm like so my kids are going to one day say oh we did this thing all the time as kids and they'll be like
Starting point is 01:17:48 wait what And that's part of it, right? Like, what happens as a kid gets stored in funny ways. And trauma and scary things get stored in funny ways as well. And so I really would love someone to send something about a fear, kind of a very specific fear. General anxiety is everybody. And that is interesting, but not as interesting as what I want to tell you about
Starting point is 01:18:11 the amygdala with a specific phobia. So if anyone's got like a fear of some type of animal or high- Tina's got arachinophobia pretty bad. Kim, too. Kim hate spiders. Carter's always trying to save him and Kim wants to destroy every spider that ever lived. Yeah. And then we're over at the Crazy Neighbor's house and Mrs. Crazy Neighbor like sees a spider
Starting point is 01:18:30 on the ground and reaches down with her hands and picks it up in her palm and takes it outside. Okay. That's too far for even me. Yeah. That's awesome. A Red Solo Cup, maybe. Yeah. Not your bare hands.
Starting point is 01:18:44 Yeah. So someone sends something in and I will walk through how you, treat that and what you can do and it's very it's actually really related to what we're talking about here in some ways um but there's some really new cool stuff happening for treatment that's gonna it's just fun okay i'm into that we'll we'll collect we'll collect a few during the week see what we get um yeah the the morning stream at gmail dot com that email's working fine everybody it's my frog pants one that's busted um real quick uh the when you were younger okay when when he was younger i mean maybe even still today, but, you know, we're all busy with adult things, so who knows.
Starting point is 01:19:20 But Wendy was the great proponent of April Fool's Day. There was no way that day would come without Wendy doing all kinds of gnarly things on everybody. That was just the way it was. I don't know if you're still that way or not. I'd have to ask Adam or the kids, but here's my question. What is it that, what is that desire that I suddenly feel to go to Amy's house and do scary stuff there? Like, I know her. So her and I are friends.
Starting point is 01:19:45 And so this isn't a mean-spirited thing. It would all be in fun, but there's this temptation for somebody who doesn't like scary things to go do some tricks on them. And you used to do that all the time. So you tell me what that is. Why do we have that as people? Why do we desire it? Well, okay. I, you know, it's interesting why people do the jobs they do.
Starting point is 01:20:07 And I'm still in the process of trying to figure out why the hell I do this job. I think I'm good at it. And I think one of the reasons I'm good at it has to do with. that I think, and you're good at this as well, which is like you can read people fairly well and read the room and you're sensitive to what dynamics are happening or whatever. And I think that helps me do my job. And I think that for a long time and it used to be used for evil and now I use it for good. All right.
Starting point is 01:20:42 So instead of going, well, my April Fool's thing, I really think is what that was. It's like I would, I could hone in on someone's like what would really mess with them and then try to make it funny. And I've probably scarred a few people. Oh, it was bad, you guys. You guys didn't even know. Like we, my parents' room, she'd go in there and just wreck it. It'd be toilet paper to death. Wet toilet paper on the ceilings.
Starting point is 01:21:09 Like I'd find the worst, I'd always had to turn like this too. It was so funny. It's so funny because when I talk, when people hear you on here and they know. you in general. They don't, they've never heard of this side of Wendy, but she was devious. Yeah, because I have always good. Yeah, always good. But you were devious back then with the, with the pranks. And to this. Oh, yeah. And I have one when I was like 13 or 14 that I cannot believe mom forgave me for. And as a parent now, I would, I would seriously give my kid away if they did this. That was a good one. It's terrible. Yeah. I remember that. Didn't you, you and dad did one together.
Starting point is 01:21:47 it looked like he kidnapped you in a car and left your date in the road. Oh, man. I got it from dad. That's what I'm blaming on him. I mean, he had the same, that same sneaky, like, like, we really love people and we want everyone to be good, but we also want to mess with you when, when on one day of the year. It's pretty weird. Like, weird.
Starting point is 01:22:07 That's weird. Anyway, but let me tell you this. I moved to Sweden and I stopped even thinking about April Fool's. Is that weird? Like, it ended. And then Halloween, like, it was just not as big a deal there. It's because the Swedes aren't funny. I used to be insane about those two holidays.
Starting point is 01:22:23 And now I'm kind of like, oh, crap, it's super fools. All right, kids, should I put green in the milk? And they're like, no. And I'm like, okay. I mean, like, I don't do any of it. It's really funny. It's because nobody in Sweden laughs, right? They're not very funny in Sweden.
Starting point is 01:22:37 No, they are beyond funny. They are so funny. They're great. It's not that. I think it's that they're also like, I think I've shared this before, but, like, there was a political, absolute upheaval, and it was this controversy. It was one of their legislators. It was a total scandal.
Starting point is 01:22:58 And let me tell you what he did. Yeah. He had another business that he also earned money from while he was working for the legislator. Oh, my gosh. So that's the level of ethics and transparency. And I'm not saying they're perfect. man, I don't, I feel like April Fool's, I feel like anything that's mean-spirited is inherited from Americans.
Starting point is 01:23:24 Feels like it sometimes. Feels like it. You know what the other thing, you just were born in the wrong era. You could have had a huge career on YouTube. If your pranking era would have lined up with the YouTube era, you would have been, you'd be 50 million followers right now. You'd be huge. I'd have 50 million followers. I'd also have anxiety and body dysmorphia.
Starting point is 01:23:41 So thanks. Yeah, that's good. Yeah. All the YouTube things come together. You get the whole package. That's the way it works. They do. All right.
Starting point is 01:23:46 So people stand in your phobias. I want more than one. I need like a spider and I need like you're afraid of boats. Whatever. I'll compile a list, a whole list. And then you can, and I'll get them to you early so you can decide what you want to hone in on. But yeah,
Starting point is 01:24:00 that'd be fun. That's a perfect little pre-Hallowing deal. Is next week how old? It is. Oh my gosh, it is. Well, let's see, 10 days. So. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:08 Sort of next week. Talk about anxiety and Halloween. So funny. Come on. Oh, yeah. It's perfect. We'll do some spooky music. It'll be great.
Starting point is 01:24:15 I'm looking forward to. it. All right. RealSteps.org currently taking signups, right? That's happening. It's currently happening. So you'd be signing up for the next round. So, sorry. Oh, that's right. Yeah. It's still good. Yeah. It's going great. We have a lot of new, very cool people. So it's really fun. So just sign up and I'll email you like once a year. Fantastic. Go watch some sad Pixar shorts with the boy. We'll see him by now. I do that to Carter. So she knows how this feels. I like to, I like to sit her down to some Pixar sadness and then she's she always gets choked up and I don't know why I like it. I like it because there's just a purity to it.
Starting point is 01:24:50 There's like a nice, I don't know, like there's so much fake emotion in this world when I can, when one of my kids expresses real emotion, it's like, ah, see, there it is. It's right there. Kids, man. She's 23, then whatever. 24, sorry, 24. Shut up, she says. In all the caps.
Starting point is 01:25:08 Shut up. Shut up. All right. Quick shout out and vibe time to a listener. Seems like a lot of people have been going through some stuff lately, and we're always happy to, you know, combine our powers and wish you well. Channel them for good. Good news from yesterday.
Starting point is 01:25:23 I heard back from Tanner. He did have a procedure and went well. There's still some stuff to have happened, but it's actually looking a lot more positive as of today. And Tracy Haley's back home, too. Oh, that's right. Our vibes work, people. See proof right here. Yep, we talk about old actors.
Starting point is 01:25:40 They die. We talk about you guys, and you feel better. That's how it works. Anyway, he got this from Albert and Maryland. Mayor McCheese in the chat room when he's here. So if you guys and the tadpole have an extra positive vibes, my wife and I could use some. My wife is having a hysterectomy tomorrow. This would have been yesterday, and I got this a little bit late.
Starting point is 01:25:58 We were both very nervous. It's not cancer as far as we know, but she's been having problems for the past year, and this is the last resort. I'll interject here. My wife had a very similar experience and did the exact same procedure for the same reasons. So there's that. Oh, wow. Okay.
Starting point is 01:26:13 What makes this really hard is I am the only one allowed to go in with her because of COVID. She really wishes that her parents could also be there. On top of that, I have extreme social and general anxiety. And the thought of someone or something going wrong just terrifies me to make things worse. I have two sick cats and one of them won't eat. So we have that extra stress to deal with. I started to burning you guys with our problems, but I needed to tell someone. Well, dude, all the vibes your way, man.
Starting point is 01:26:36 That's hard. You know, this stuff I think about when Kim went in for that or when anybody has to deal with this sort of stuff. back in the day you could all visit and bring flowers and bring whatever but during this COVID stuff it's like so much more limited and you can't necessarily have everybody in there like seeing my mom with her brain surgery was like pulling teeth it was so hard to get all that done and so we feel for you and I'll bet I'll bet on the other side of this everything will be fine because that hysterectomy is a good thing for certain things like I don't want to say it works for everything but right oh these kids are horrible kids are the I mean
Starting point is 01:27:13 especially the ones who talk in all caps in the chat room. Yes. Oh, those Northern Irish kids. Oh, my gosh. Those kids, man, they should just pay attention and eat their lucky charms. All right, moving on. Albert from Maryland, and we're happy to do it, and we wish you and your wife the best. Also, Mary McChese is my favorite, he's my favorite, least favorite mascot in all of fast fooddom.
Starting point is 01:27:35 He's my favorite fast food politician. Yeah. He always has my vote. I mean, who else would go? Who else would go up against him? Like the king? There's a monarchy, yeah, the king, the deary queen. Yeah, I didn't think of that.
Starting point is 01:27:49 Well, Mary McChese gets the work done, so vote for him this fall. All right. That's it for the show. Huge thanks, everybody, for being here.
