No, you better don't. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the morning stream. It's Tuesday, November 2nd, 2021. I'm Scott and he's Brian. back, Brian. Thank you, Scott, and thank you, uh, Tedpool for being here. Vermont is, it's your loss and our gain to have Brian back. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. Brian was gone for a few days. It was ever so brief trip to Vermont. It was lovely, though. Uh, had some rainy weather, had some

nice weather on the last day. Um, boy, Halloween itself was, um, rain on and off. So it's kind of like, uh, a good year for me to be there, although I guess here it was fairly nice. It was a little overcast was fairly nice. It was weirdly warm here. I don't know what was going on. Really? Yeah, we had warm, uh, trick-or-treaty weather. That never happens. It's almost always too cold. You got to put like a jacket over your Batman costume or whatever.

Yeah. But it was nice. You could walk around. Boy came over. Dressed like a dinosaur. I dressed like Hawkeye. Kim was the death lady or a, uh, sorry, a plague doctor. A plate doctor. I saw the, uh, saw the photos online. Holy mackerel. Yeah, she was scary in that thing.

Yeah, my Halloween costume, I wore a shining socks, like socks that are modeled after the carpeting and the shining. That was the extent. It was great. No trick-or-treaters, because they live far enough away from everything. And this, like, everybody lives far enough away in Jericho that no trick-or-treaters. So added benefit, no candy. Yep.

So didn't have to hand it. out any and two for you and one for me kind of situation. Didn't go nuts and eat like four Milky Ways in a row and none of that. No. No, no Milky Ways aren't my jam. It's, you know, that's the problem. If Tina gets, like for Halloween candy, if she gets Kit Katz, it's all over. Oh, yeah, right. In fact, you put a tweet up saying, I hope everyone gets Kit Katz, that's the son. Brian likes them Kit Katz. That is the, that is, and you know, it's been a constant thing here. People sending KitKats from Japan, which are infinitely

better. The chocolate is so much better than the Kit Katz here. I don't know why. I don't either. Well, they just higher-end chocolate. Is that what it is? Have we figured that out? Okay. You figured that out that they're, it's like Cadbury versus Hershey's. You know, it's, oh, man, the UK chocolates and

Ireland chocolate. Yeah. So much better than, uh, what's wrong with us? What can, hey, America. Carnuba wax covered brown, whatever. Yeah. Can we, can we get back in the, can we bit get back in the running with the chocolate and do better here in America? Exactly.

Exactly. Good Lord. I mean, what is even, what are we even doing? Who are we? What is this? Anyway. They also have a snowflake chocolate in Vermont. I did have a little bit of that because it's a local, it's as local as maple syrup and cider, the snowflake

chocolate, which is really funny because it was called that before conservatives started calling liberals snowflakes in Vermont, very, very full of liberals so it's like oh go go eat some of your snowflake chocolate snowflake yeah snowflakes double snowflake is it uh what is that it's just made locally i mean it's not like a it's not like a flavor or a style of making it it's a candy factory in vermont that is just really good snowflake it's a brand okay it's a brand and it's yeah they're good i want i i desire what you have

it's funny this it's something that i feel like everybody should do and We're horrible at it. We need to start doing it better ourselves. But when we go and stay with my parents, the room, so they say, oh, well, here, go and take your bags up to your room, and we'll have a drink when you come back down. And we go up to our room, we put our bags in there. And on the nightstand is always a little local gift, local food gift, and it's, in this case, snowflake chocolates.

And we don't, Kim probably does that if you guys have people stay over. She probably does that. But I need to be way better about that. Like when people come over and stay with us, like we had my cousin and her husband a few weeks ago, a couple weeks ago, is having some sort of local delicacy, something Colorado that they can enjoy sitting on the nightstand for them to take home or eat before bed some night or whatever. Don't feel bad. You're like me. I don't think of that stuff. Kim does.

I don't. Partly because Kim does, so I don't have to think about it because I know she's going to. Exactly. Like when Tom came last time, she went. found a bunch of Utah brewery beers and made a little, excuse me, a little beer basket for Tom that was specific for him because he likes a good craft local beer, you know, wherever he is. And so she just knew to do that.

I didn't have anything to do with it because I don't know shit about nothing. I really don't. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's something about that. Our wives are, our wives are so good at that. And it's because of that that we don't have to be good at that. That's right. We don't have to think at all.

But one of the main things that we did out there on Halloween was something called the pumpkin glow. And this is an annual tradition in Jericho. And I'm trying to remember, oh my gosh, I'm forgetting the name of the couple in their farm who do this, but they grow hundreds of pumpkins and spend the two weeks before Halloween carving them and sometimes assembling them into words or related. related designs, that sort of thing. And then decorating this strip of Silly Hill Road. And yes, the street is called Silly Hill Road. It's not spelled with an S. It's C-I-L-L-E-Y Hill Road.

And spending time decorating it with all these pumpkins. And basically they make these wooden stands that are about five or six feet tall with five levels or six levels of pumpkin. shelves on them. Got it. And so they'll say the top one will be pumpkins that spell out essential workers in four or five pumpkins. And then you'll have an ambulance and a fireman and a policeman and things related to that.

So a little police car and a badge and fire hydrant, which on its own would be a really funny pumpkin to see, a little fire hydrant. I agree. Tell your dog peas on it. It's great tell your dog peas. Exactly. Exactly. And so they put all of those.

those groupings together, and it's really, really cute. And then somebody down the way, and I put these up on Twitter, some amazing carvings with synthetic pumpkins. So they do them year after year. They use a Dremel tool. But they do these amazing, like there was a Pac-Man pumpkin, and it had, it was basically the game board of Pac-Man on a pumpkin. Oh, that's cool.

And just amazing stuff like that. But they're synthetic pumpkins so they can use them year after year. I can remember foam resin or something like that. Oh, okay. So they carve them out of some material or whatever. Yeah, exactly. Still carbon them though, right? They still carve them by hand.

You know, no like CNC or anything like that. It's all done by hand. That's cool. And they had them up the night before Halloween, which was the clearer night. So we just went and checked those out after dinner. but something happened between that and Halloween because we went out Halloween night and drove through the down Silly Hill Road and all their pumpkins were gone and we don't know what happened like if they if somebody took them or if something happened with their displaced and they had something to look like bleachers with all of these pumpkins on there and they were gone that quick which leads me to think they didn't just go take them down overnight yeah yeah that's weird I don't like that was right it was right really weird. Oh, Awful Waffle in the chat room says, I used to work with that guy. He does a ton of those plastic carvings. Yeah, there were, there were probably 40, maybe 50 of those pumpkins on those

handmade bleachers that he had out there. Two different Jack Nicholson ones, a Charlie Sheen for some reason. Freddie Kruger and Jason and Mike, yeah, Michael Myers and Charles Manson. I mean, it was really cool. I'm pretty sure he doesn't sell him, Taxi Cab. But they did have an issue. He said there was an issue a couple years ago or last year with some college students that came and tried to steal Spider-Man. Oh, those bastards.

I was like, you know, it might have been me in my college days. Yeah. But with great power. Great responsibility. Exactly. But had a great time out there. My dad's got a good size like forest on his, on his property. some really cool landscaping that they're in the process of doing.

And we look out and there are a dozen wild turkeys just roaming around his back, his quote-to-quote backyard. Yeah, like a roving gang of turkeys. I'm like, oh, this is so cool. So I was going to take a picture. So I opened up the door. And the door makes a little bit of noise when you open it. And they all shoot their heads straight up and go, lo, like, out of view.

Like, I got a picture of them just as they stuck their heads up. and then took off out of there. That's great. I love it. I love it. I love when the turkeys yell. It's great. It's amazing.

You didn't kill one and eat it, right? Did you kill one and eat it? But it's not Thanksgiving yet, so, you know, there's still plenty of time. Okay. Get out that axe. I'm sorry, hatchet, whichever it is. Hatch, ax or hatchet. Whichever it is.

He had a hatchet in his garage and that's what I took a picture of and sent everybody. Oh, that was his. Okay. That was his own very hatchet. Very nice. His very own hatchet. He has his own hatchet? Wow.

He has his very own hatchet. He's, you know, he's got a forest. He got to have a hatchet. Look, going from medical cancer doctor to... He has a hatchet and an axe and an ATV and a snowblower. And, like, I mean, he has to... Yeah, it is not the... It is not the dad I knew when he lived here or when he was in Houston working at MD Anderson Cancer Center.

This is like a completely different dad. New phase. Total new phase. Yeah. Unkempt hair. flannel shirts What the heck, right? I mean, it's like,

this is not, this is not my beautiful dad. That's really interesting. Well, you know, he's got his retirement. He's ready to roll, ready to rock. He has been adopted into the Vermont collective. I'll say that, for sure. Has he got the accent yet or working on that?

No, no. Still has the slight British accent. Oh, okay. I need to hear your dad talk sometime. I just need to hear it. just so I can make a sense of it because it doesn't make any sense in my head that he has a slight British accent.

I just can't picture it because it's you and I just can't. Right. No, I know. But I need to. It's weird. It's weird. I need to experience it. Well, all right. You were missed while you were gone and I'm glad you had a good time.

Oh, somebody in the chat, Lucky Phil said Hershey's has a souring agent in it which prolonged shelf life. It's the butchric acid, I believe, is what it is, according to Cidion. It says, but Americans got used to the taste, hence why American chocolate is worse than the rest of the world. So it's a little bit like how, you know, you change Coke and people get all riled up or you change, you know, when they do a new version of Coke Zero, they have to have the other version still on shelves or whatever because they can't deal with it.

It's like that, it sounds like. Except it's always been better. Yeah. Well, no. At one time, urgency is really good. But, yeah, I guess they said, well, let's sacrifice some flavor for shelf life. Because if our chocolate tastes like crap, it'll be on shelves longer. So we want to make sure it tastes like crap for as long as possible.

There you go. Yeah, exactly. You can't have that spoiling. But here's the thing. I used to not mind a nice Hershey bar here and there. So I don't know what that says about me, but I thought it was all right. Still to this day. Because then you had a Cadbury.

Yeah. Oh, can berries are good. See, that's a thing. Once you have like a Cadbury or a Toblerone or something, I mean, then see how you feel about your Hershey's. your ham and cheese yeah exactly i can eat once you've tasted steak i can eat uh i can eat dark chocolate now um yeah that stuff's not a problem for uh my my anti shug diet yeah and to some degree it's it's kind of good for you yeah it's supposed to be good for you so i'll have it here and there um but what's funny is prior to the anti shug uh it if i had dark chocolate i both knew it and hated it

I was like, oh, this bitter, bitter, awful, disgusting piece of bark you've given me. Why have you given me this? Right. If you ever as a kid, I wonder how many other people did this because I know I did, found your parents or your mom's stash of baking chocolate and said, oh my God,

look at this massive chocolate bar. I'm totally going to have some of this. Oh, my God. This is horrible. Oh, hell yeah. Hell yeah, right? Like that stuff, it looks like the mother load,

and it's really the most bitter stone of death. It's horrendous. But now, yeah, give me a, Give me dark chocolate all dang day long. Yeah. And now with no shug, I can't tell the difference in this in, like, the way I used to like milk chocolate. It tastes fine to me now. It's like no big deal.

I have to have people test, taste my, like, if I get a, you know, we're out somewhere and I get like a Coke Zero somewhere. Yeah. I'm convinced that it's sugared because they, for guy in the back, put it under the wrong hole or whatever. So I hand it to Kim and go, please check this. She's like, oh, yeah, that's definitely zero. I'm like, okay, cool. I can't tell anymore. no i've had i've had coke zero for so long i can't tell i can tell obviously a diet coke

versus a coke zero yeah that i can tell that that's freaking horrendous because it's nightmareish it's it is it really is it's like how can anybody drink this yes and there's a whole swath of the population who will only drink it yeah and to them i say what's wrong who hurt you what is wrong with you yeah at what point in your life did you did you experience such trauma that you beaten with a coke zero bottle is that what happened what the hell happened all right uh well that's great vermont uh good times my sister lived in vermont for a while i don't know if we've talked about that wendy did think think we did yeah what part do you remember uh i don't remember what part but she loved it there and she was only there a couple years

it was part of a school thing her husband was doing and they lived there for two years when the babies were when she had little babies and she loved it and wishes she lived there again i think she still wishes she was back yeah oh it's such a beautiful part of the country it really is yeah It's like, what you went to Vermont? Yeah, it was Vermont, then Sweden. Well, all right. So it was Utah, then Vermont, then back to Utah, then Sweden, then back to Utah for a little bit, and then Massachusetts. Minnesota.

Yeah. Or, sorry, Minnesota. But I say Massachusetts. I don't know why. I don't know. Because they're all M. All those M states. It's not even fun to say.

I don't even like saying it. There was. All right. Oh, I had to report this. I know it's post-Hallowing now, but whatever. I watched the rest of Midnight Mass and finished it up. The final episode I watched on Halloween Day. Perfect.

And that fifth episode, right? Oh, my Lord. The ending of episode five. That was something. Into the credits even, like, oh, my God. Yeah, that was nuts. I loved the series. Yeah.

I've decided that Matt Flanagan can make whatever he wants, and I'll be there. uh there's something about it's there's something about his takes on this stuff that really resonate with me and obviously everybody you know these are popular so it's not just a me thing but uh this this take on vampires which is really what it was yeah it was one of the most unique i've ever seen and i don't like vampire stories ever no vampires have been played right time big time and this was just such a different different handling of that entire thing and amazing acting across the board. Kim's in the middle of watching. She never watched Hill House when I did. So she's in the middle of watching that right now. And I'd forgotten just how many of those

actors are in everything Mike Flanagan does. Yeah. What's her name in particular? I can't think her name all of a sudden. She played Theodora in Hill House. Can't they get her name? Yes. And she's currently in the show, Y-O-U. Oh, is she? Oh, she's great. She is. Victoria Padretti, I believe. Oh, I'm thinking of, that's the mom. Oh, you're thinking of somebody else. I'm sorry. No, no, no. I'm thinking of, uh, so Theodora was played by, uh, crap.

Oh, oh, oh, right. She's, uh, right. In, in, um, uh, in midnight mass, she's the girlfriend. She's the girlfriend who's pregnant and then isn't that whole thing. Right, right. That may have been slightly spoilery. I apologize. You can ban you from the chabroom.

You know, you had your time to watch it, people. Yeah, that, that, that thing came out in 2018, all right? There's been some time. Uh, okay, her name is. uh if i can find it there it is kate seagull kate seagull not katie seagull very different person right no relation she's in she's in almost everything this uh that matt flanagan does but um so many people in here the the lady that plays um um luke's not luke uh the other brother the older brother uh steve stevey that plays his wife is bev in midnight mass the crazy lady

Oh, really? Okay. Man, she was nuts. That's, oh my gosh, dude. I loved it, though. I can't recommend it enough. I loved it. It's not for everyone if you don't like, you know. I mean, this one is, I would say, is less, there's less jump scares, but there's definitely unsettling stuff.

And no ghosts in the background as far as I was able to discern from, you know, from Hill House. Sorry, Mike Flanagan, not Matt. Mike. Oh, Mike Flanagan. I keep doing that. I don't know why I keep doing that. But yeah, like you said, it's like, there's no like, blah, but there's a lot of, ooh. Yeah, yeah. I mean, there is one particular jump scare that did make me jump, and it's when something kind of, something or someone kind of flies at the screen. Oh, yeah, that got me pretty good. Yeah. Someone. We'll call it an individual. Someone, an individual. Yes. It's such a weird.

so weird and to have the good news at the end be that line, I'm not going to ruin it but you know what it was and that in any other context is the worst thing that could happen but in that context you went oh thank goodness

exactly oh I loved it just loved it and that Matt Saracen guy what's the actor's name oh he's really good yeah Saracen from Friday Night Lights Friday Night Lights guy He was awesome in this.

Just great. Like, I don't know where he's been. I mean, I'm sure he's been busy. Zach Gifford, that's who it is. There you go. He's been doing other stuff and he doesn't look any different. And no, it doesn't age. I think they keep him in a box, in a container or, you know, hyperbaric chamber or something.

Because he looks exactly the same as, as he did back in the Friday Night's days. Oh, yeah, Annabeth Gish from Mystic Pizza. and, yeah. Oh, interesting. Okay. What's this Midnight Club from Mike Hannigan or Flanagan coming out? Midnight Club follows a group of terribly ill patients from a Rotterdam home begins together. Oh, this is next thing? Oh, and they're all in it again. So, so Zach Gifford's in it. The girl, the young girl at the end of this Midnight Mass. Anara Simone is in it. He just likes to drag people with him. Yeah, now, when does this... I mean, it's already announced we've got actors and...

Yep, there's Samantha Sloyan. Heather Langenkamp from Nightmare on Elm Street is in this. William B. Davis, the cigarette smoking man is going to be in this. Yep. There's Samantha Sloyan again. She's Bev. She's back. Doesn't say when this is going to come out?

Where's Henry Thomas? Yeah, right? Henry Thomas is in everything that he makes. And it's great. production on September 10th, but doesn't say when this thing is supposed to come out. It looks like it's only a four-episode deal, so it's a short. I'm fine with that, totally fine. Yeah, totally fine with that.

Hey, look, if you can tell a good story, tell it in however many episodes it takes. Don't feel like you've got to stretch it out, Stephen King Under the Dome. Yeah, Stephen King Out of the Dome. Oh, Under the Dome is such a good book. And such promise. Dumbasses. It's like, oh, well, I can. stretch this out for another 12 episodes and uh i don't think it was him choosing though i think

it's i think it was a bunch of just bad production choices he was executive producer wasn't he on that yeah but i don't know how much control they give that guy sure it was NBC NBC higher ups probably had there it started strong everybody was too good looking but it started strong and then it just petered out and it's a bummer because i think that could be revisited shutter or somebody why don't you all get your hands on it and make something real. There you go. Yeah. Reboot it. Do it the right way. Hey, we found our Star Wars guy. I'm going to read this email from the Netherlands. Excellent. Yeah, this is great. A meal

from Star Wars, no, from the Netherlands. The Niederlands. He says this. Hello Scott and Brian. In episode 2196, he said that someone had told you that they had never seen Star Wars. Well, I haven't watched it either. Oh, man. It's not that I don't like sci-fi. I love interstellar, and I really like the expanse books. I'm 25 years old now, and maybe the reason is that I was old enough to start liking these movies. They were... When I was old enough to start liking these movies, they were too old looking, and I didn't have the nostalgia to like it, he says.

I could see that. Like, you're... I don't know. If you look at the original trilogy, especially for episode four, episode four, A New Hope It looks like a 70s ass space opera shit show From the outside, right?

You don't If you don't have the connection to it You weren't a little kid then Like all of that I totally get it True Because anyway I do not know Whose father Anyway I do know

I do know Who is the father Because of the internet And there is that cute baby alien Oh my gosh Baby Yoda Yeah which one Might be talking Ewarks

Might be talking Yoda might be talking... I assume you mean, Jota. And also, I assume from his email he's not seen, like, hasn't seen The Mandalorian, hasn't seen phone wars and all that. No, no of the Star Wars story,

Saga stuff. Yeah, says, I'd like to finish with a question. Do you guys have a movie or series that almost everybody else has seen, but you haven't? And have you, uh, and not a recent one, but comparable with not watching Star Wars.

Love the show, though, Emil from the Netherlands. Well, I mean, a series. I've never, seen a single episode, a single installment in the Halloween movie series. Oh, okay. That's an interesting one. But I am aware of Mike Myers. I think I've seen two of those, so, so not many. The chat room is saying parasite. Yeah, but that's recent and not, it doesn't follow his category thing here. But you're, but you're one about Halloween does. Yeah, Halloween is probably the

closest thing I have because I've seen at least you know some of the other things that have been popular the right um watch the entire new run of Doctor Who now you haven't watched any Doctor Who since as a kid like the Tom Baker stuff right? When I was a kid I watched some

Tom Baker because it was just on and then I saw a big chunk of the of the new stuff with Eccleston to start with you saw the Eccleston stuff okay not all of it but most of it and then I fell off and then that's it. So that's probably one of mine for sure. Because that's, you know,

my nerd Craig gets tested every time I bring that up. Somebody's like, you can't see you. Yeah, but still, I mean, that's, you've seen some of it. And I don't think it's that, uh, I don't think it's that out there for, for you to see some of the new stuff and it just wasn't enough to keep you, keep you going. Yeah. Now, I think about it. Oh, no, I've seen some of those. Because then you've got, yeah, You've got Matt Smith, and you've got Capaldi, who's really good. Oh, I never saw an episode of The Good Wife. Well, I haven't either. Yeah.

That was supposed to be really good, like, one of the great last, you know, last times that network TV had like an Emmy-worthy drama on TV. Okay. All right. I never saw any of that. Let's see. I'm trying to think. unfortunately most anything that's like you know genre fiction or whatever i do see like i can't help it um yeah oh yeah i mean david tenants run i guess if you're going to say

well i'm going to watch a little bit of dr who watching david tenants run especially uh don't blink um is is probably a good way to go that's one of my favorite episodes ever of i think maybe be my favorite episode ever of Dr. Hohen is so good. That's pretty high praise. A bunch of people, let's see, Free Ranger's saying, never seen an episode of Friends, so there's that. Claire says, have not seen a single actual episode of Seinfeld, only clips and sound

bites. We were just watching Soundfeld last night. Yeah, fix that. Community or Modern Family, M. Humph, 23. Community is really worth watching and make it to Season 2 because they really find their strides. Season 1's good, and you get a lot

of the right, a lot of good humor in there, especially Troy and Abed's interactions. But season two is when they start saying, all right, we're going to really have some fun and break the fourth wall. Yeah. Season one for almost everybody is never great in retrospect. Yeah.

They're all getting their footing. We noticed that about the Seinfeld season one is like that, Simpson Seasons ones like that. Like any good show, season one's rough, voices are weird, acting is strange. The characters don't exactly behave like they're, eventually going to do. Parks and Rec absolutely worth watching. Someone's talking about not ever seeing that.

Parks and Rec is definitely worth saying, yeah. I've never seen, oh, I've seen the pilot episode of West Wing and I need to go back and just watch it. Yeah. I've watched enough for. Wasn't because I didn't enjoy it. Five times through that series. I'd do it a sixth. I'd do it a sixth. I'd do it a sixth. I would. All right. Well, well, well done, everybody. Thanks for that email.

Send those emails to the morning stream at gmail.com, and we'll read them right here on the show. Okay. We have to do news. It's the news, and it's brought to you by. The third Halloween with no candy. That's right. Not since 2019.

How did you clean up eggs off your house or toilet paper out of your trees, Scott? I mean, well, we gave away candy, and of course, Kim, you know, went all out and did full candy bars because she's a psycho and all that. But I didn't eat any for the third year. The third year in a row. Which is saying something because I used to... So humble brag comes in fun size is what you're saying. I just can't.

I'll end up spiking and then I got problems. Well, and you know what helps though? The fact that she gets the full size. Because if Tina were to get full size, you know, when we are here to give out candy, I'd look at that and say, oh, I definitely can't have that. It's the fact that it's like little fun-sized ones. It's like, oh, well, one of them. of those won't hurt me or two of those won't hurt me or three or whatever even though they're

like you know one big candy bar is what like three tiny size ones or whatever it is so you're kind of eating you're kind of eating the equivalent size yeah um what's funny here is I don't know if it's funny it's kind of sucks actually but we had um we had two hallowines basically because when Halloween's on a Sunday there's the more churchy folk don't want to have their kids on Sunday going around door to door. So they kind of force a Saturday. So enough people do it on Saturday now

when it lands on a Sunday. So we were at the door doing it on Saturday and it was a fair amount and then back to the door on Sunday again a fair amount. So you got like the secular and the religious deciding

which day they're going to have their kids go do Halloween and so we ended up doing two nights of it. It was crazy. We never had any trick or treaters on Saturday. So I wonder if that is just more prominent in Utah. Oh, I think so. It would make sense. Well, it would have to, again, Halloween has to be that one of those years where it lands on a Sunday. That's the only time it happens. Right. Right. And then when it does, it's usually the day prior. Yeah. And it's probably like agreed upon neighborhoods where that are that are discussed on next door. Yeah. All right. We're going to be doing the Saturday thing. So everybody. There is a bit of that. Also they'll or they'll schedule like a trunk or treat of the few. days ahead or something like that and then there was like there was this chatter people I don't know what's wrong with people but I was I actually look I'd look at next door once in a while because ours is really boring it's mostly just people helping each other it's not a big deal

but this time it was like hey California people who want to have the Halloween on Sunday night you can't change us don't think you can come here and change us I'm like who what are you even saying what is this you're even doing it is it is like torches and pitchforks on next door, man. It is, it's crazy. Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like it. It's people who start out the conversation already at a level eight.

Yep. And already at DefCon 1, you know, it's like there's, they're ready for the fight, and they've basically got their knives out. They're ready to start brawling on next door. Yeah. It's like, open a conversation. Here's the thing. You're the good neighbors.

Don't use it. Right, exactly. They probably don't even know it exists. They're too busy being good neighbors. So stop it. Quit using it for stuff. Exactly. Lame, lame, lame.

All right. Carter did an amazing thing. I see she's in the chat, so I'll mention her. She was Aang from The Last Airbender. She actually shaved a blue arrow into her hair. Wow, that's dedication to her craft. Very dedicated. Last Air, Avatar, Last Airbender, a series.

that everybody else in the world has seen but me. Oh, see, there's one. That you... It's a great one. You should watch that. It's awesome. I probably should, yeah. I love that show.

I've never seen a single episode. So she's got, you know, she's got this big blue arrow. It's all dyed in there. It's blue. And rest of her head shaved. And then her dog, Ripley, she dressed up like Appa, the big giant flying dog in that show, which you probably have seen, even though you have seen photos of it. Yeah.

And I saw photos in, on Twitter or Facebook or whatever. whatever and yeah it was awesome the dog did not love it but she got used to it it was fine anyway that was really great we had a good time uh i just saw she was in here so i just wanted to give her a little yeah give her a little exposure shoot a little light in her direction she loves she loves it when i call her out well she's deserving of light there you go uh let's get to these news stories here oh before i do i can't believe i forgot to tell you this okay i put a video up on twitter about it but i want to mention it again because this is perfect show content all right Yesterday, Kim and I are raking leaves.

It's time. It was going to rain, and it did overnight. So we're out in the front yard, and we're just getting all the leaves. The final layer of leaves done that look like the trees are about done now. So we're just, you know, this is what we think is the final layer. So we're scooping them all up. And as we're doing it, we got a cable box slash power box thing, the green thing that sits out in front of people's yard, you know, the ones. Yep.

A little sticking up out of the ground monolith. Yeah. You know, we don't have monkeys dancing around like 2001. Exactly. It's a little green utility penis or whatever it is, right? Just sticking there. So we're scooching around there and Kim sees, she goes, oh my gosh. And I go, what's matter?

And she goes, someone hid their full dog poo bag back behind this. No way. Oh, behind it. I thought you're going to say, in it. No, no, no, no. Like right behind it. So it's hidden from the sidewalk. Seriously.

So we go around and we look and there's a purple bag all tied up and everything relatively fresh big loaded dog dump in this bag and it got me to thinking

well I was irritated that's the kind of thing you'd go to next door for it right? Yes for sure yeah I would absolutely put this on next door but it was

somebody had a bag and bagged their poop at some point in their journey but then decided I'm too lazy to take it to that drop off over there that can over there, I'm just going to hide up behind this guy's cable box. What the fray!

What a jacking ape. Man, you know, I'm all for, if you're going to walk your dog and they poop at the very beginning of the trip and you don't have something, a place to throw it away along the trip, I'm all for put it on the side of the sidewalk as long as you are coming back that way and you'll pick it up on your way back and throw it in your own trash can. Totally for that. Totally for that can sit there for 15, 20 minutes or whatever, however long it takes you. to walk your dog but to hide it in the back they had no one you could tell no intention

none none so i had to like take it put it in my can you know make sure it's not gonna you know rip open and make my life worse like this is not my poo it's not my poo somebody else's not my problem to deal with yeah that's exactly right so i'm really annoyed by it um darth marquis says or ass or darth marcus says uh what were you trying to blur out in the video so in the video i found this app that lets you blur stuff. Oh, really? Yeah, because I had my street address on the thing and I didn't know it when I first took the video, so I'm like, oh, I can't put that up. So I got this app and it lets you just put a little blur smear on things. Oh, cool. Does it follow it along? Like if you

say, this is the thing I want you to cover up. It knows in later frames if it moves around. I wish it did, although there's probably some that do. This one, the way it works is it's almost like key framing in, like tweening in a weird way. So like you'll start with a blob and then if the camera shifts and the blob is not going to be there but the you know the image is going to shift over here you can drag you can go to another keyframe down the timeline and drag your blob and now if you go back and play it the blob expands to cover it as the video goes on it yeah that's cool that's a really cool way of doing it yeah it is real weird anyway ike b c14 says cover well why is it a big deal to carry it for 15 to 20 minutes not arguing but too many things

can happen that may force you to go to another direction and forget to pick it up. And I say, yeah, this is true. If there's the chance of that, if you think, oh, I might come back a different way and I won't pick up the poop, I agree, take it with you. But for me, leash goes in one hand, Pokemon Go goes in the other, or whatever cell phone thing you're doing, whether it's, you know, chatting with friends or reading next door or posting photos of poop on next door. Yeah.

You probably want to have the leash in one hand and the camera. or your phone in the other. Right. I agree. And also, just bring enough bags. You know, it's not hard to bring some bags.

For like four bucks on Amazon, you can get a little plastic black. It looks like a pill, like a giant pill. And it's got a thing in there that you can just pull bags out. And it comes with about 30 refills that will last you a year at least.

Oh my gosh. 30's plenty. That's a lot. 30's plenty. It's got a little plastic carabiner on it. And you just basically pull up. a bag put the poop in the bag we're close to bins here so really i take it with me there's you know i won't i won't leave it anywhere but um we have bins all along the trail

ours too like everywhere there's plenty of places for this guy to have taken his bag so annoyed with him whoever he is if you're listening eat a poo all right exactly Brian here's our first news story it's taking me long enough to get to it okay all right get to. Crypto investors, everyone's favorite dude bros of the moment, are bidding to touch a 1,784 pound tungsten cube once a year. Okay. Okay, so they want to, so wait, only one person gets to touch it. They're bidding on who gets that benefit? I think they get to bid on who gets to do it. I don't have any questions. This all, this all makes total sense. And I don't feel.

feel like I need any more information about this. It's completely... It's very... Well, okay, you know what? For everybody else, let's go ahead and put some more information. All right, well, here's some context. In the latest phase of the quest to turn everything in into an NFT, crypto traders are now bidding to digitally own a 1,784 pound cube of tungsten in Willowbrook, Illinois.

According to the terms of the sale, they will have the receipt posted to the blockchain for posterity. the owner can have one supervised visit to the cube per year to touch it or photograph it. All right. Over the last two weeks, a joke fired off by coin centers neareraj Arjwawi. Yeah, I think it's Agrawal. I thought that L was an eye. I think that's the answer pronounced Joe Smith, but keep going. Pretty close, pretty close.

Sissy, it was about a non-existent tungsten shortage, thanks to crypto traders buying cubes of tungsten due to a meme actually caused one of one for a Midwest tungsten service. The Illinois manufacturer actually creates small cubes of tungsten, and the tweet caused 300% increase in sales that depleted the company's stock on Amazon, according to coin desk. The bottom line is, they're all super freaked out over this because of a meme and a tweet. Yeah. And that's all it takes now for these weird ass markets to shift around and people to get weird. Crypto bros, there's going to be no tungsten if you don't hurry up. You got to this last one, you're going to be able to touch it. I find it so annoying. Oh, it is. All of it. I find all of it so annoying. There's going to come a day.

Stories do, though. They always remind me to go check my very, very small investment in cryptocurrency. And my $100 of Bitcoin is now $300 currently. I'm sure it'll drop down to $50 and go up to $40,000 and whatever. Yeah, it'll go all over the place. That's what happens. Probably won't go up to $4,000. But in my case, like, here's what I believe.

as someone who creates art that could potentially be NFTs. Oh, the NFT stuff, yeah. Here's what I believe about the future of it. I think there will be some future in some form where you'll be able to easily and simply purchase NFTs or purchase digital concepts, art, whatever it is, and you'll own it. And it'll be all above board and across the board easy to do and no, no one, you know, it's like buying anything. want to collect a poster, great. That's easy to do today. Do you want to collect a digital version of a poster? That's the thing that will happen in the future. But we got to get to a

place where it's not mired down in 650 pounds of goo and bullshit. It's so crappy right now and so full of scams. Like there was something the other day, some major trader had said, look at this stuff selling off like crazy. Get in here. There's a crazy NFD sale. And then two days later, it was over. And then somebody looked at the transaction and the blockchain. The guy had initiated the runoff by selling, or no, he dumped it somehow. And then re-added it back to his shit like a day later. So it was all a stunt just to get people going.

And it's just all, that stuff has to stop before I take any of this shit seriously. I just cannot do it, dude. can't do it. Yeah. I'll get there. I'm saying they'll get there. I really truly believe it gets there. It's a thing that's kind of ruined by the people who are involved with it right now. Yeah. Yeah. And it always is. You go back to other times in internet history when people were wary, okay? Let's say it was, I don't know, using your credit card for the first time on the internet. Those were, that was a wary thing. You weren't sure about it. Yeah. And part of the reason you weren't is because it was rife with, uh, bullshit. Security issues. And scams. Yeah.

it was scammy and it had all kinds of problems and security issues and none of that had been solved yet it takes time for that stuff to suss itself out now it is absolutely a no-brainer to use your card in many ways on the internet to buy things all the time commerce works there works better than anywhere else in fact it's almost the primary way i do any kind of commerce now like that would have been unheard of if you just said this to me in like 2000 i was gone what no way forget it so i understand that these things evolve and change and i fully believe that this stuff will too but right now it's in that mired stage

of just gross uh scam messy weird it's just too weird like until until the day comes where you can go to a website and not worry about how much Ethereum you have just go to a website and say yeah

I'm going to buy that for 10 bucks I'm going to buy that for a $500 whatever it is and you just do it transparently with whatever currency and whatever country you live in and it's all handled you know, securely and it's done and you're done.

It's just, that's, that's it. That's when it'll, that's when I will go, all right, let's open it up. Let's get some NFTs going.

Because right now, it feels skeezy to be involved. It does. It totally, yeah. Super skeezy. All right. Moving on. Boy,

that was news. That was news and commentary. It was. It was an op-ed piece and. We're like a whole paper. We've got a whole operation going here. We've got sports and some kind of weather thing and a chart. Right.

Yeah. Do I need to talk about Monday night football and what happened? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, hey, the game you bet on you, you end up losing that game. Your Broncos won. Didn't the Broncos win? I bet on the Broncos this week to win and they won. Oh, I thought you, wait, who did you?

Last week, I bet on the Broncos to lose and they lost. What am I thinking of? I'd have been Packers. I think I bet. I think I said the Packers weren't going to cover the spread and they very much covered the spread. Oh, that's what it was. It was Packers. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Do you have any remorse about that, or is everything fun? No. No, it happens. And I should know better. Listen, my next-door neighbor would say this without any hesitation. Brian, you should know better than to bet against the Packers. Yeah, that is. I mean, you know, time will tell. I don't tell him.

I tell him I'm always rooting for the Packers because I am always rooting for the Packers, even when I'm betting against them. But I am always rooting for the Packers. And I just need to put my money where my heart is. Oh, your heart. Yeah, I don't know. Final story, Scorpions, not the band. Oh, darn it.

I was hoping it was a rock like a hurricane story. Don't get excited about double-necked guitars for a second and a mustache. I love that guy. Their guitarist is great. Yeah. He always looks so dumb. I love him. Scorpions found in a package delivered to Joy Wave drummer in Rochester.

A shocking afternoon for a local man who found scorpions, yes, literal live Scorpions. Not the Scorpions performing live, but live scorpions. inside a package which arrived days ago and the plot thickens that man is also the drummer for the internationally renowned and locally based rock band Joy Wave

do you know them? You heard of them? I don't know them, no. I've heard the name but I don't know anything about I was just looking in my library to see if I have any Joy Wave songs and if they've done covers I don't have them and if they've been covered I don't have it.

Yeah, well there you have it. Joy Wave, never heard of them myself but maybe they're big. He says at first I thought it was a tick or something. I mean, they were really small, says Paul Brenner, Joy Wave drummer. We're really small if you confuse a scorpion for a tick. Holy cow.

Yeah, exactly. Package sat quietly on his floor all weekend. When he got back on Monday, he opened it and found something he didn't order. That's when I realized, no, that's a scorpion, he says. That's when my shirt, sorry, that's when my shirt left my hands and went into the box. So I'm guessing that, and I'm trying to, I was looking back to see if, did we miss it, but apparently he bought a shirt. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then with the shirt was, we're scorpions.

Yeah, they don't make that clear in the article. They really don't, no. They ordered, basically, he ordered a shirt. It sounded like he ordered a box of scorpions. Yeah, and it came with a shirt. We said, we didn't want any scorpions. But imagine that. Like, if you ordered, like, I don't know, one of your cool shirts you're wearing right now, and it shows.

It had a bunch of scorpions in there. What would you do? Oh, look at the size of that thing. All right, that is, I don't know, eyesight-wise, joy wave must really be doing something in your eyesight, because that's clearly a scorpion and not a tick. Yeah, not into it, man. I like it out in the rain.

Someone left the scorpion out in the rain. And it's on the shirt I purchased, and that shirt's not coming in my house. Wow. Listen, we got a whole song. I like it anymore of it. That's all you want. That's all.

That's really good. I was waiting for the third stanza. And I'll never buy from that internet company again. See? See, there's more. Oh, no. Oh, no. And then that's the end.

Let's do this quick story about a Colorado hiker because we got Colorado Connection here. Colorado Connection. You had a hiker out there. You may have heard of this. Lost for 24 hours. ignored rescuer's calls because the hiker didn't recognize the number on his phone that kept calling him.

This is a Gen X down to Z problem. I'm telling you, only baby boomers, only people age 65 and older actually answer phones. The rest of us, unless it's my wife or someone I know, we go, we'll let that go to that. I don't know that number. Yeah. They can text me. Like, we don't use phones for phones anymore. We don't.

And so it's especially true of the Zs and the millennials, I believe. But anyway, here's how it went. Colorado hiker wandered off the trail and got lost, ignored repeated phone calls from rescuers because the hiker didn't recognize the number. The person hiking or started hiking, Mount Elbert. Do you know where that is? Totally do. Yeah, Mount Elbert was where we had outdoor lab when we were sixth graders. Oh, very nice.

this is south from the south trailhead october 18th that's been a little bit uh this is the hiker did not return by evening so five ls or l c s a r that would be what would that be uh local colorado search and rescue or something colorado search and rescue lake county lake county search and risk oh there you go okay uh members search for the hiker until early in the next morning but we're unsuccessful the missing hiker finally showed up at the place of law their place of lodging around 9.30 a.m., and the search was called off. The hiker told officials he had wandered off the trail around midnight and could not find their way back, said that they spent the night researching, or sorry, searching for the trail,

and once located, bounced onto a different trail, or bounced around onto different trails, trying to locate a proper trail head. I guess that's how that work. Anyway, never realized the rescue team was looking for him because ignored the phone calls. Yeah, well, I mean, he didn't feel like he was so lost that he needed to enlist help. He was just like, oh, well, wandered off the trail. Let's see if it's this trail. Nope, it's not this one.

All right. Let's see if it's this trail. Nope. Why didn't he call out if he was ignoring calls? Exactly, if he was, well, because he didn't feel like he was that lost. It was really more like, like the people calling are, are bitching about him, not answering the phones, rather than him saying, oh, well, I was lost. Why didn't you call me? Yeah.

He didn't feel like he was lost. He didn't feel like he was lost to the point where he needed help. Well, we've solved it all, and that's your news. That's all the news she wrote. We'll come back in a minute with Bill and Bobby. Oh, yeah. A little change on the Tuesday schedule. We'll get to that in a minute.

Wait a minute. I know, weird. Bill and Bobby on Tuesdays. Bill and Bobby. I mean, I'll tell people now. Basically, it came down to this. Jury told me that he's got so much stuff going on right now. He's got so many projects in the hopper.

he needs some focus time and he's going to have to drop kind of step away from extra stuff for a while and we're part of that extra stuff yep so we're a little bit of that I told him no problem the seat's always there for you if you want it just let me know for now I'm going to shuffle some people around we're not going to you know replace you so we've we've pushed some people around meet our meet our replacements bill and Bobby yeah Bill and Bobby so Bobby's going to move to Tuesdays or Bill rather going to move to Tuesdays Bobby who was usually three times a month on Thursdays will now be every week with a science segment

on Tuesdays for now. And Stephen will have Mondays all to himself. So that's how we've worked in. And when juries is, you know, when he's got some of these projects wrapped up and he's able to come back, then he will come back. Yeah, he's all good and he made that very,

he wanted to make that extremely clear. This is nothing to do with the show or anything else. He's just got stuff he needs to focus on and is, you know, give all his brain power. to, which I totally get. Man, I go through that all of a freaking time. You wouldn't believe how many days where I'm like, I'm going to chuck these two things.

I'm getting rid of them. I'm not going to do them. And then I don't. And then I might. And then I don't. Like, he's just better. Like, back when he canceled when he canceled unfriend me, nobody was happy about that. You know, listeners weren't happy about it.

But it was absolutely the right thing he needed to do at the time for what he was working on. Like, he needed that time. and he knew it was the right choice, he's better at that than I am. I know, I've done it a couple times. Pokemon Go podcast, I left just like, I can't. It's too much time.

Can't do this anymore. The Marvel gaming podcast, I had to leave. It's like, yeah, you know what? You guys have got this. I don't have the time. Take it and run with it. Yeah. So that's what we're doing.

We're filling it with Bobby and Bill. So it'll be after this break. Hey, Brian, we need music, though, to make a break. And just a little tease. tomorrow don't feel like we're going to be high and dry with recommendals either, so we'll talk about that tomorrow. Oh, right, because Nicole's now got that job at the school, but who will be here? We have somebody stepping in, and we'll find out all about that tomorrow. Yeah,

we will. Okay. Now let's play a song. Okay, let's go to New York. New York City specifically, and a band called Imaginary People. Man, if you like Brian Ferry, Roxy Music, you're going to love this. Also, bands, if you're fans of moving units, future islands, or Interpol. You're going to like this as well. Clarion, call media, send this one over to me. And they've

got a brand new album called Alibi coming out spring 2022. It's a New York City band called Imaginary People. Here is their song Soft Token. Walk the storm That's the day Place the wound

Please don't make me way You know, you know, I'm going to I'm I'm I'm You know,

My dogs. love Jimenez. I think your dogs will too. When I say dogs, I got multiple dogs. They're hard to please. They just want to screw around all day and play and stuff, but when it comes time to eat or snack, I choose Jimenez. Did you know feeding your dog with dog foods made from cricket protein uses less land and water to produce? And it drastically eliminates greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional animal protein food for dogs. Well, it's true. I'd like you to meet Jimenez, nutritious and sustainable food, and treats for your dogs made from cricket protein, another delicious plant-based ingredients like sweet potatoes, oats, peanut butter, and flax.

What dog doesn't love peanut butter? I ask. They all love it. Anyway, I'm big on this environmental impact stuff because it's always shocking to hear how much water gets used to make stuff. Uh, insect protein. I mean, it may not sound good to you, but it's a very sustainable protein source. Better land you. and feed conversion support this. And in addition, less water and almost no greenhouse gases. One five-ounce bag of Jiminy's Treat saves 220 gallons of water. What?

Versus traditional animal protein types. And if you have an average-sized dog switching from chicken-based diet to an insect-based diet, well, it saves about 480,000 gallons of water per year. Hoo! That's got to be enough for you. It is enough for me. And it's really good for food-sensitive dogs with allergies. Insect protein is considered a hypoallergenic food.

And, you know, beef, chicken, and lamb, soy, even fish are often the ingredients that dogs end up having allergies triggered by. I don't know if, I mean, mine does. I'm sure yours might too. Especially these pure breeds, man. They're messed up with that stuff. Insect protein is an alternative protein for dogs. And, you know, dogs have not been exhibiting allergies to this protein, which is nice. In fact, veterinarians are already using Jimenez.

Elimination diets to determine food allergies in general. So, we've had nothing but great experience with Jimenez. My dogs love their treats. And they see me open a little cam where I have them stored and they all freak out. I can't wait for them. Maybe your dogs would be like that too.

Wait until you hear it. You'll say, oh, my God, it did. I think you're totally right. Your bat caves open there, Bill. Check it out, everybody. It's Bill Duran joining us all the way from his headquarters there in the Pacific Northwest. Bill, welcome to the show. How are you? Hello, I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween. Tried to. I think the Johnson's came out swinging. Yeah, we did all right. Amazing costumes. Yeah, more this year than usual. I usually kind of, you know, not worry about it too much. Yeah, I don't know if I poop poo of it. I just, I just, I just, I just.

don't get I don't know it feels like it always took more time than I was ready for in this case it was like put on these three shirts and this hat and you're good yeah that's all it takes yeah and it was fun talk tags yeah I really enjoyed it Kim of course you know plans way ahead and get some crazy thing going and she always does that but yeah but it was uh-hanger's uh-ang and oppa was top-knock it was pretty good right oh yeah yeah we're we loved it i've got a clue as to what I dressed up as you're ready yeah let's hear it you hear that no no no again it wasn't loud enough i turned out my proton pack oh oh cool i think i knew this because i saw you in a picture somewhere uh oh yeah smasher

that's right ghost beater and ghost beater who you're going to beat i've been like i've been in ghostbusters mode for about a month now uh getting stoked about the new movie uh and i and i cosplayed for the first time in over two years. I haven't like gone out and cosplayed since Dragon Con 2019. Oh my gosh. Yeah, we had a little convention here called King Khan

in Renton, Washington. And I put on my whole get up, grab a proton pack and did some cosplay. Just went, saw friends, hung out, and I got to field test my proton pack. I hadn't used it out in the world yet.

Yeah. And it is one of my very favorite toys. It plays all the sounds. There's a switch dedicated to playing the Ghostbusters theme song. Yeah. So, yeah. I've been in Ghostbusters mode. And I wanted to talk about Ghostbusters props. Oh, okay.

Let's do that. Yeah, we went deep on that proton pack. But there's way more to that world. So let's do it. What do you got? Yeah. So putting together your own Ghostbuster costume is actually pretty attainable. In fact, I have a video from a couple of years back covering,

The flight suit, and most of the smaller stuff. Like, you could just get the flight suit, get a patch with a name on it, and a Ghostbusters patch, and, like, the belt, some boots, and you're a Ghostbuster. Like, that's really all you need if you want to go super easy. Yeah. But there's also a ton of options for the toys, and there are so many cool toys. Yeah. So Spirit Halloween, known for making cheap Halloween costumes. Yeah, they've been killing it.

They're numerous stuff, especially their licensed stuff, is really, really good. And they have a whole bunch of Ghostbusters things that are pretty good, that are a great price. And if you want to update them, you can, to make them a little more legit. So they have the gloves. They have a really good walkie-talkie. I still need to buy that way cheaper than trying to find the real walkie-talkie they used in the movie. There's the PKE-E meter, which I would say. that's probably the one that looks the most

like it's straight out of the movie. That's the little handheld thing with the bunny hair. Yeah, and it's animated. It has lights. The little the antenna move on it. Like, it's crazy legit. They have a deluxe proton pack

that's pretty good. They have a trap that's really good and they have the ecto goggles. And all of these can be modded and repainted to look a lot more legit. In fact, I have videos on the trap, the PKMEE meter, and I'm currently working on a pair of ecto goggles. Nice.

Nice. I'm looking at their site right now. I didn't realize, or I didn't realize they had such a presence, like, I don't know. I mean, I always see the stores, and I just thought, oh, okay, well, that's some low rent bullshit there, you know. Yeah. Like moving into an old Hobby Lobby or a circuit city or whatever. Yeah. I just don't give them much credit.

Troisor Us in town here. Exactly. But they've got a ton of stuff here. I'm a little surprised. And they've got licensed stuff from like Disney and... Yeah. And they're all pretty good. And now is the day to buy it, right?

Like, they're still open. They're just trying to sell off all their old merchandise. Yeah. So they don't have to ship it back. Yeah. Right. Because I assume their big time of year is right before Halloween. And then the rest of the year is what?

Just regroup? Like, I don't know what they do. They're probably not even there 10 months out of the year. But, or they open in September. and then probably close November 15th after they've sold as much of the remnants as they can. Yeah. Right, yeah.

That sounds right. Anyway. So, yeah, definitely, if you're thinking about putting together a Ghostbusters outfit, that's the way to go. Although the suit, I would buy a real flight suit. You can get them on Amazon. They're not expensive.

And it's exactly the same suit they use in the movie. And then if you want, you can get patches. Actually, if you look on Etsy, you can find people who will make a custom patch for you so you can get the Ghostbuster logo patch and you can get a name patch so you could you know you could be

thank bin if you want but mine says Duran I got a Duran cool you had a custom yeah oh that's cool now the proton pack like I said you can get one at a Spirit Halloween it's pretty good it's not great

if you want a more legit proton pack and you don't want to spend crazy money. Hasbro is actually selling a ridiculously legit new pack for like $400. Who's selling this? Hasbro. Hasbro. Oh, really? Weird.

Okay. Wow. So they have a, they have a Spangler Neutrono wand. They've been selling for a while. That's really, really nice. Actually, Adam did a video on it recently over on Tested. And they're kind of not really kickstarting, but they're launching this. this proton pack

and I think they need 7,000 people to commit before they'll put it into production and they're at like 6,000 so people should go buy this thing because it's amazing. I feel like I've been hard selling this to people all weekend. I got a friend to buy it and I was leaning on Garrett Weinzerer last night trying to get him

to buy one. Oh, you totally should do that. Someone convinced him to play Final Fantasy so they're clearly we're making inroads with Garrett. We've got to keep pushing. This looks amazing. Like it's got the um you know wear and tear on it and uh wow okay that is really impressive i mean it's it is 400 bucks yeah well i'm here to tell you uh if i didn't already have my own proton

pack that i made uh i would buy this in a heartbeat yeah now a few caveats um it does not have the straps to attach it to your back you'll have to buy an alice frame uh there are about 50 bucks on amazon what's an alice frame you just bolted to the back of your thing what does that I mean, like, oh, it's like the part of the backpack that holds it. It's the structure. It's like the... Yeah, it's a metal frame that attaches to the proton pack, and it's got straps attached to it so you can wear it on your back. So you have to get that.

If you want to wear it, if you don't want to wear your proton pack, you can just buy this thing and chuck it on the wall, and it'll look amazing. Yeah. The wand, uh, Hasbro also sells one of those. It's a 180 bucks, I think. Again, a little pricey, but it looks really, really, really good. So all told, you. you're in like 650 bucks to get a full on proton pack that you can wear and I'm here to tell you you cannot get a proton pack or even close to that if you try and put it together yourself

or if you try and get commissioned someone on the internet to make one yeah which you can but it's going to cost a lot more than 650 bucks so I'm kind of stoked for everyone who's going to be able to get a really good proton pack for what I would consider a really good price yeah that's pretty good uh yeah and you would probably you know know, even if you got this one, you would be doing some of your own custom work on it, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. That's just the deal with you.

Yeah, yeah, it's just how I roll. So, uh, anyway, one of my favorite things about the Ghostbuster outfit as a costume is just how modular it is. Like I said, my specific outfit is, it's not a Spangler or a Vankman. It's just me as a Ghostbuster, right? Right. So like I said, I have my Duran patch that on there. Um, and there, there's this weird leg. tube on the costumes that I don't know what it's for and it's annoying to walk around with this

tube stuck to your leg so mine doesn't have that I just took it off and I put a patch on my leg where the tube connected to imply that maybe mine fell off sure which is great and you'll see people at conventions who do their own like custom Ghostbuster outfit sort of thing there are there are many local Ghostbuster costuming groups all over the world and they frequently have like their own style and flare to kind of like bring some local um color into their their ghostbuster out as if there are different ghostbuster franchises all around the world which that makes me feel so excited that people do that yeah yeah that's pretty cool i um with that movie comes out when i'm pretty excited for that november 19 okay two

weeks three weeks are you uh i mean the little kid in you's probably losing its mind right you're pretty stoked about this. I'm really excited. I watched Ghostbletters 1 on Halloween and Ghost Switcher 2 last night, and I am so ready. Well, the movie looks like, you know, like they're being faithful here. A love letter to the fans, yeah. Yeah, not only that, it's like, hey, the son of the director is making it. And, you know, the dad did some consulting around this.

And, like, you know, it feels a legit. Like there's a family line of Ghostbustering happening. And also the end of that trailer has me all kinds of. interested in who might show up so yeah I hope they can get it right I'm pretty excited about it looking everything I've heard from people who worked on it are it's very very optimistic that's good optimism is something we lack sorely in our community so why not now right excellent bill that and so much more can be found at punish props.com you can see all sorts of archive videos dealing with stuff you've done around and in the world of Ghostbusters.

And I'm guessing after the movie hits, you'll probably have some new ideas, which will always be fun to watch. Probably, yes. Yeah, pretty much a guarantee. Before you go, you got a little bonusy business for us? I do. So this is a video from some friends of mine in the Northwest. The YouTube channel is Ghostbusters Northwest,

and the video is how a proton pack works. Oh, that's cool. So it's like an infographic-y-looking video. sharp really cool super good animation they have a handful of videos out a couple more like how the trap works how the ecto containment system works and uh like i said this is like uh the northwest chapter of the ghostbusters in fact i've got a ghostbusters northwest patch i need to put on my my flight suit nice yeah look at this they these guys did a real nice yeah that's my buddy's proton pack it is far more legit than mine uh but it was about that

That's a $2,000 proton pack for perspective. Yeah. That proton pack looks like it's going to cause skin irritation and possible mortal danger to you. Like, that's how real that thing looks. Oh, yeah. That's awesome. So I implore folks go check out,

if you're in a Ghostbusters, check out Ghostbusters Northwest. They have those fun infographic videos, and they have some skits they've done. and I was talking to the art director and I may end up showing up in some of these videos because I got a pro top back. So we'll see how that goes. Nice.

Ain't nobody going to balk at that. That's fantastic. All right, Bill Duran, everybody. He is Punish Props. Over there, Punish Props.com, of course, the YouTube channel. And as always, you can find him at Chinbeard on Twitter. Bill, have a great day. You too.

See it. Bye now. I don't know I had to burp, but I did. That's fine. If you have to, better out than in is... Better out than in. Yeah. That's what I say.

Unless it's your bag of poo you hit behind my thing. Then less in... Well, there is that. Yes. All right. Trying to get used to what I'm doing now. Oh, yeah. Bobby.

Bobby time. Bobby. Bringing in Bobby a little early week science. Man. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. We're going to have some fun here with Bobby. I may even have a new thing for him.

Check this out. science hey look who it is it's it's bobby frankenberger where thomas dolby's not going to come after exactly i had to actually thought of that i'm like how much of this can i play and get away with right can i have him say blinded me with anything probably not probably not i didn't do it you can have angus dr angus i can't remember his last name but the guy goes science yes science good heavens miss yacomoto you're beautiful now here's the weird bit bobby is sitting here and looking just like normal Bobby, but I know that he just got done with, like, a massive run. Oh, really?

Bobby, how'd you go? Yeah, I just ran, my hair still wet from the shower. I just ran 18 miles. Oh, man, look at you. Look at you. Are you full of energy? You got like, uh. I, I am.

I've sat down long enough that my legs are not on fire anymore. I mean, I've done that, just not all at once. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Well. Over the course of 52 years, I've run 18 miles. I'm getting towards the end of my marathon training.

It's on December 11th is the marathon. And so this is the second longest training run that I will do in two weeks. I'll be doing a 20-mile run. Good Lord. Nice. On Tuesdays are my long run. What got it is you? 26.2 miles, right?

Is the full length? Yeah. What got into you with this whole thing? I mean, what is it about running that's like grabbed you so much lately? Well, I accidentally kind of fell in love with running because I used. used to be overweight and so I was looking for ways to lose weight and I used to hate running because I also used to smoke. Then I quit smoking. And then, and so I was like doing my sciencey research that I always do. And I was like, what's the most efficient way to lose weight? And it was

running and swimming. And I didn't have a pool. So running it was. And so I was doing it. just to lose weight and then I realized like everyone always says there's all these endorphins that pump through your body when you go on runs and I just kind of fell in love with it and and so in back of my mind it's always been I'd like to do a marathon one day I wonder if I could do that but then we had you know I've got kids at home I'm a stay at home dad so it's hard to fit training for because I don't know if you know but training for a marathon takes a lot of work sure it's um it takes up a lot of time i would guess i would assume so yeah yeah but um so i finally did it both the kids are in school this year so i have days that i can go and do it and so i

decided to do it that's awesome been quite a journey so far that's really cool when did it kick in for you that you actually went oh i actually do like running like was there a moment where you like mile five of something and went oh this feels all right and then you were hooked or what because it never works for me it's confusing it it's it's it's It's not a bad question because it's kind of confusing, because I stuck with it for so long, I think, at the beginning because I saw the weight loss results so dramatically. And so for a while, I know that that's why I stuck with it. But then there was a time when I was getting, you know, like, to periods of times where I would take a break from running. And I noticed physical and emotional, you know, like missing it.

You know, it really is a great stress reliever. And being home with kids all day, you kind of want that. So I think that's what it is. Just eventually I realized, oh, I guess I kind of, I kept wanting to get back to it whenever I would take a break. So it was kind of like, well, I guess that means I must like doing it. Yeah, you must like it. It's like playing wow or something. You're like, I got to keep playing.

This is great. Well, I'm happy to hear that I wish running and I got along better But maybe you'll inspire me I don't know Hey, so here's what we're doing We're doing science on Tuesdays now And we're excited about it

Is this like, do I have like a residency now? Can we think call it that? If you want Please call it that it would make me sure You're a resident If you need to put that on your resume Yeah Because I don't have the week off

It's like every week now Yeah, that's true Well, yeah But you know like Britney Spears we might replace you with Holly from the Girls Next Door Playboy Mansion deal. That's right. And I'd prefer not to have like a conservatorship or anything. Oh, okay.

Yeah, we now run everything about you. I don't know if we told you that part. Yeah, exactly. Sorry. We basically own you at this point. So, sorry. But, hey, keep running, though. Keep that running going.

All right. So, Bobby, what is going on this week? I guess there was some solar flare business or something happened. and you were like, hey, we should talk about that. What's going on? Yeah, that was the big science news last week. It was all over the place. People were taking pictures of Aurora Borealis

and posting them on Twitter and Facebook and all over the place. Yeah. And so that was the big news. It was last week on October 28th, there was an X-1 level solar flare was detected. That's actually the X-Category, of solar flares are the highest level that they that they categorized them

and so it was a pretty strong solar flare that they detected and and so they knew that because of that some few days later on the 30th that we were going to get

some geomagnetic storms whoa Brian and I are about to watch geostorm yeah we're about to watch that for freaking film sack this weekend So this is amazing timing. Yeah. And it would have been stronger the geomagnetic storms, but it kind of like grazed the earth.

It didn't hit us head on. Geomagnetic storms can be pretty devastating for our electrical infrastructure and everything. But fortunately, that kind of thing didn't happen. And we just got a lot of beautiful auroras. But I thought it would be cool to talk about what a solar flare is, what a coronal mass ejection is. because they're not the same thing and solar flares did you know solar flares typically do not cause the aurora and that's what a lot of people think oh really oh i thought it did yeah i'm glad you explained this because i thought it did yeah um it kind of in a in an offhand like like uh it it caused solar flares caused the thing that caused the aurora okay sometimes so it's but not always anyway we'll i'll get to that you were about to say something brain oh yeah no i mean just hearing about this one last week that um They were saying as far south as Raleigh, North Carolina, there was the potential of seeing it.

It was completely overcast where we were, and we were really excited to potentially see it. I've never been anywhere where I've been places where it's possible to see it, but never at the time I was there. So it would have been nice. It would have been cool to see it. I saw one one time. I lived in northern Minnesota for a while, and I saw one one time when I was a teenager. It was pretty cool. Yeah.

And I'm hearing it, it's misleading. Like, when you see the videos of it, like, going, it's, that's a time lapse. Yeah, those are still. Yeah, those are still. Yeah, those are still. And so it's not like it's a, it's a constantly moving thing. It's just like, you know, slowly changing green.

It moves slowly. It's a lot of times it's not as, it's not quite as bright as you see on videos either because, you know, of exposure and everything, they, they brighten those up. And you'll see the photos look amazing. usually because they take longer exposure photos to really make the color and the light pop. But the cool thing about the Aurora, and this is why it's not moving so fast, is that the ribbons of light that you see are literally the magnetic field lines where they are coming into the earth. That's literally what you're seeing. It's just lighting up the magnetic field lines. Okay. So because, okay, so it starts with a solar flare.

Solar flare is a burst of solar radiation. So the sun is made of plasma. And plasma is what makes a plasma, a plasma is it's this gas with all these free electrons that are just like an electron soup freely moving between atoms. And it's hydrogen and helium is mostly what's in the sun. And so all these electrons are just freely moving around very fast. because the sun is super hot. But you might know this, that electricity is,

what electricity is, is the movement of electrons, right? Yeah, of course. Some one, from one place to another. And so electricity and magnetism, the reason it's called the electromagnetic spectrum is because they're very, they're intertwined. They're almost the same thing, just like different properties of this one spectrum,

and they are very closely linked. so when you have moving electrons moving all over the place they create these wild magnetic fields on the sun sun spots are where are where the magnetic field loops are intersecting with the upper atmosphere of the sun that's what causes them to be dark spots and and so what a solar flare is is because all these electrons are moving around so much the magnetic field line are moving around a ton too and they can get they can get like twisted up and and kinked and tightly wound and sometimes like spun around in a helical like a spring almost and when all all this movement happens sometimes they get twisted around each other and then they have to realign and they'll snap

and pop apart and do the realignment yeah and that's what the flare is is the snapping of the magnetic field lines the reason we see it is because it kicks off a bunch of photons and causes a bunch of radiation to shoot away from the sun when that snaps. Because again the magnetic field will take

because it's connected to electrons and photons and everything. It'll take a lot of that stuff with it. It'll pool it. How big of a flare would there have to be to pose a threat to the solar system? Like to us or just to any of the planets. Like, is Mercury at any given time just ready to get zapped by a giant flare that's close enough that it just melts a hole through? Mercury is getting bombarded by radiation

all the time anyway, because it has no atmosphere. Earth is typically not really in a lot of danger from solar flares because of our atmosphere and our magnetic field. But the radiation that gets shot out from these solar flares, it travels at the speed of light. And that's one of the big differences between a solar flare and a coronal mass ejection, which I'm going to tell you about in a second. And it's also why you can't predict when the flares are going to hit us because the flare itself travels at the speed of light. You don't know it until it's here. Yeah. Right?

You can't see it until you see it. So what will happen is the upper atmosphere blocks a lot of the. radiation that would come. And most of it's in the form of x-rays from solar flares. But having said that, if you're, if you have something that is outside of the atmosphere, it's very much at risk from solar flares. So satellites can can be disrupted by solar flares. Um, astronauts that are in the space station are very much at risk from solar flares. Sure. It's how, you know, it's how the fantastic four got their powers in one, uh, that's right. Yeah, that's an important case study that NASA studied.

Right. The case of Richards versus Richards versus Grimm versus Storm. Some important case law went down that week. That's one of the big reasons we monitor the sun is to try and predict when solar flares are going to come. So I said we can't predict them, but that's not entirely true because we can see sunspots and we have like models for predicting. But it's kind of like the weather, like it's solar weather.

right like we can say oh we think it might happen sometime soon and um but it's not always super accurate but once a solar flare happens one of the other things that it does is it shoots especially if it's strong like this one that happened it it shoots with it a ton of matter from the from the atmosphere of the sun and that is called a it's from the corona of the sun which is the upper atmosphere. And that's why it's called a coronal mass ejection or a CME. It's shooting a bunch of that crap. So the sun is spreading corona is what you're saying.

That's what I'm hearing. Yes. Okay. The sun is spreading its corona. It's really, it's been a nightmare trying to get the sun vaccinated. But as you can imagine. They're thinking about using Bezos's ship because it's like a big injector penis. That'll get it in there.

It's been a little bit sharper on the end, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a little too, well, like a penis right now. I'm with you. So that stuff that gets shot from the sun from a strong solar flare, that's what happened. And that is what the cause of the Aurora typically is, because those materials, that material will hit the earth and be charged and be directed by the magnetic field lines down into the atmosphere. and then it interacts with the atmosphere and just causes electrons to get excited and start glowing and stuff like that.

Sure. But you as a, like an average person is never even going to know, right? You're never going to know a flare aimed right at us, even a big one. We're not going to have phenomena on a personal level where we're like, oh, I can tell there's a flare today. Did you feel that? Solar flare just went through me. There are dramatic effects from strong solar flares that cause strong coronal mass ejections that actually hit the earth.

There was, I think it was in 1989. There was a huge blackout in, I want to say Toronto, because we got hit by a massive coronal mass ejection and their power grid was not prepared to handle. Because what will happen is all this stuff hits the earth on. one side on the day side right because that's the side that faces the sun yeah um and it because it's getting hit by all this stuff it actually compresses the magnetic field on that side it gets kind of pushed because it's it's getting hit you can imagine it like a big gust of wind because that's kind of what it is it's solar wind and then it compresses the um the magnetic field on that side but it moves past the earth and because these are charged particles from plasma

It will drag the other side of the magnetic field away from the earth, and you get this kind of like long tail of the magnetic field. Now, the reason that's important and why I'm explaining that is because as it gets pulled out, magnetic fields like to realign themselves. It'll snap back towards the earth, and then it'll drag some of that stuff that was flying past it into the earth at very high speed, and that's what causes geomagnetic storms, the realignment of the magnetic field and all this stuff. And when magnetic fields shift on such a large scale, literally the power lines in the power grid will have massive fluctuations of power. Because again, electrons and magnetism, they're interlinked. So you start messing with the earth magnetic field, then the electrons in power lines shifted around on a large scale. And if the power grid is not prepared for it, it can cause transformers to explode. It can overload the grid in different places.

And that's what happened in Toronto. Nowadays, power grids are, like power companies are prepared for that. And they have all sorts of things like these like dumping zones where they can open up extra capacity in the power grid to protect it from these shifts that might happen. And that's, we didn't see anything happen this weekend when all that happened. And a lot of that is because the power companies are prepared for it. And they can say, okay, this is going to happen. The NASA's told us from their observations that this is about when it's going to hit. So we're going to open all these things up and to be able to handle it.

There was another one in the late 1800s. And this is crazy to think that we, that all this happened at that time. But at the late 1800s is one of the first coronal mass ejections that we ever. noticed because that's when telegraph lines were around. Yeah. I remember hearing something about this. This one was super strong.

They said there were people, there were reports of people saying that the telegraph lines were just spontaneously turning on and they could hear sounds in what they thought were voices coming from the telegraph lines and stuff like that. That's cool. Because they were just overloaded with electricity and so everybody thought the earth was haunted.

Yeah, because that's what we do as humans. When we can't explain a phenomena, we immediately go to supernatural cause. Haunted or God hates us. Sometimes even after, if it's like, ah, we don't like that science. Let's call it demons. Yeah. Let's call it demons. Why not?

Those are demons. So, if we had a flare that was big enough to do, like, mortal damage, like destroy the earth style, it wouldn't matter because it'd be so big we'd just be in an instant, right? just be gone. Right. If it was really bad, you would have a couple days to prepare. Yeah, because you'd know it was coming from what telescopes.

Because remember, it's not the solar flare that really does all the damage. It's all the stuff that gets launched from. And the solar flare travels at the speed of light, but all the other stuff is much heavier. And it takes sometimes a couple days to get to the earth a day to five days or something like that. So we'd have a couple of days for, you know, for all of us to sit around going, oh, what was us? And then boom, we're out.

But yeah, and there's some things we can't protect. Like, satellites could be destroyed. And power grids, hopefully, they seem to be preparing, but they could be overloaded. And you're right. Like, a lot of it is just you're not going to be able to prepare. Some people think that if one hits big enough that it could take our, like, GPS systems offline and stuff like that for who knows how long because satellites are up in space they're not exactly easy to go and repair it'd be great if they all freaked out and started

you know everyone's series and google assistance and everything just started going turn left now turn right make a u-turn right just everything was wrong right that'd be great that's all it does what happened on y2k everybody's tom tombs we're going to tell us to go exactly tom tom tom i haven't heard that in a while Wow, Tom Tom's. All right. Well, this is all super fascinating. I love this stuff.

And if you want to learn more, you can listen to a really cool podcast out there called All Around Science, which Bobby hosts and does a great job with. Bobby, you want to tell people about what you're doing this week? Well, we just – this is a great thing about Tuesdays, right? Now I can tell you the episode we just released. When it was on Thursdays, it was like – Two days old. Science is stale and maybe it's spoiled by now. Right.

Do I tell you about the one that's coming out of? on Monday and then everybody forgets over the weekend. I don't know. But this past episode was the big, it got delayed because of the the, anyway, we talked about I talked about the science of hair care finally. People have been

nice. Because I've always wanted to know how does shampoo work, how does conditioner work is deep conditioning really a thing. How does hair dye actually work? That's really fascinating. It's not just dumping food. coloring on your hair. No, it's not.

It's actually complicated chemistry. So that was the big thing that we talked about on the episode that just released yesterday, so go check it out. Now we can all learn how your glorious hair is achieved, which is very exciting. Yeah, look at that thing. I'm envious. I'm envious. Everyone should be.

We're all envious. Just collective envy for that hair. Bobby, everybody, he's the man. Bobby Franks have a fantastic life. No, a week, until we see you again, by now. Not a life, just a week. And life, sure. All right.

Cool. Why did I say Bobby Franks? That's Frank and Hyman. No, that's Franks. I'm just using his short, you know, his short name. Yeah, well, he uses Bobby Franks as his screen name and chat room, so. May as well. Might as well.

He's okay with it. Hey, Bobby, is your Twitter account, Bobby Franks? It probably is. People should follow him there, too. All right, that's going to do it for the show. I wanted to remind folks at home that we're in a brand new month. It's the 2nd of November, which means perfect time to hop on board of the Patreon that evolve. Some of you, not all of you.

Many of you do support it. But if you haven't, you're like, man, I just haven't gotten around to it. Maybe now's the time. You could be like Sven from baseball camp. That's literally what his name is. This one time at baseball camp with Sven. With Sven. I love that name, Sven.

Also, Annie Martin and Elisa. these are all brand new patrons want to be like them yeah they're awesome they're great i want to be able to read new names too and uh that'll only happen if people keep signing up so head on over to patreon.com slash tms and join one of the many levels and get the benefits of being a member and also supporting your favorite show that's patreon.com slash tm s keep those emails coming the morning stream at gmail.com we'd love to hear from you we'll have a show tomorrow we got recommendals and Tom and all that your usual Wednesday business I think that's everything Brian almost usual a little surprise tomorrow oh right right little surprise but you'll all be

happy won't be yeah a lot of people won't be surprised they'll be like oh well that makes sense yeah you'll say oh well that's perfectly sensible um yes but yes you'll have to wait until tomorrow to find that uh what else is going on do you have anything going on you want to mention you know you got nothing going on today um I'm recording a thing today that'll go up on the feeds in the future, but there's no point in talking about it. Now, future. All right, I like the future.

Then tell us instead about a song we can play at the end of the show. I will do that. This one is a request, unless you count it as a request. It's a request from me. It's Day of the Dead. Dio de los Mertos, as I mentioned earlier today, and I'm going to eat a,

I'm going to make myself a black bean and chicken breast burrito for lunch today and celebrate. It's also a good way to celebrate to listen to a cover of Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo. This one I haven't played before. It came out in 2020 on Abney Park's album

Esoterica. I think it came out earlier, but that's like a collection of their stuff. I happen to be a supporter on Kickstarter or a Patreon of Abney Park because they put out some great covers. Nice. Dead Man's Party covered by Abney Park from their collection Esoterica coming at you

right now. Oh, just stuff with nowhere to go Walking with the dead mat over the shoulder Oh, just that's nothing to go Walking with the dick mat I'm going to put a little bit of a rotation to arrive. No one's still alive We can fool my interpretation to my life

I'm looking for the body but no one's still alive I was struck by lighting walking down the street I was struck by something last man You might see Incident mass mind go to that's more
