Ha ha ha ha. S. S. D. S S S S S D. The morning. stream. You have chosen poorly.

Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream for Tuesday, December 14th, 2021. I'm Scott. He's Brian. I am. You know, that band clip, I think it cracks me up more every time I hear it. Like, it amplifies. Because this last time it just It felt like he was channeling the weird Swahili dialect from the beginning of the gods. It must be crazy. Like, he's this far from putting a little potts in there.

Oh, man. Do you remember what a force of nature that movie was when we were above a certain age? That was so weird. Like, it came out of nowhere. They paid nothing to make it. It was like this huge overnight hit. It was like it's viral in a time where we don't think of things being viral. and it was like massively huge

the gods must be crazy and then they tried to make a sequel and that sequel was bad it was garbage yeah our sociology teacher in high school I guess took a day off from teaching us and put up that movie

I later found out by the way later and by later I mean like a couple weeks ago through a mutual friend I was introduced to somebody who graduated a year or two before me and so we spent the entire evening saying, oh, do you remember, did you have this person as a teacher? And do you have this

person as a teacher and this, you know, this person? And I brought up that sociology teacher because I always found her. I mean, she was, she was really pretty. And she was one of the teachers that had made the most impact on me as a student, right? I think about the stuff that, that, that we talked about in that class, more than almost any other class in high school. Sure. Not just because she was cute, but, you know. Not just because she was cute, but because it was like, you know, I love sociology. It's probably why I like reality shows and torturing you guys for trivia and things like that. Sure.

But so I said, I'm not going to use her name. So I said, I'll use Ms. Wilson. Ketterman. Oh, Miss Wilson. All right. I'll say Miss Wilson. Wilson.

All right. We like it. Go ahead. So we're talking about teachers. I said, oh, did you have Miss Wilson? and I was about to say, yeah, she was great. And he said, oh, yeah, man, she slept with all the students. No!

Is that true? Well, I asked for some clarification. And he's like, well, I'd be not all of them, obviously, but apparently there were rumors floating around it. And I'm like, oh, damn, she didn't sleep me. I kind of thought I was one of her favorite students. Damn. I'm sorry, Brian. that kind of relationship. I just want you to learn

and grow. Exactly, yes. Oh, man. That's funny. I don't know if I had any teachers that had that rumor. It was just, it was funny because it was the first thing out of his mouth as soon as I said her to him. Wow, that's crazy. I had

a teacher who was, I mean, this would be seen differently today, I think, but in 1985 I'd have been a junior, sophomore, I guess, whatever I was. and um we had a we had a math teacher who was gay it was like an it was like one of these secrets that everybody knew but it was supposed to be not known but he was gay and that's fine but the big rumor was that him and the janitor were getting it on at night yeah and that he'd

like after hours or something yeah yeah he'd stay after hours like grading papers but really he was down in the uh you know the gym or whatever him and uh him and i came remember that guy's name it was mr carter i don't mind saying his name he's probably long gone i don't know mr carter we thought that was pretty funny um but anyway yeah that was our thing the janitor was male and uh he was male and uh we in nineteen eighty five we thought that was a real a real hoot because you know back then right i mean it was a yeah we learned our lesson though it was a friend of in god all right this would go back elementary school sixth grade because we went to outdoor lab And it was always assumed that he was gay.

I mean, even back then. But I was friends with him, and he was my bunkmate. And now that I think about it, when we went to outdoor lab and we had to stay in the cabin, and we were looking at bunks, he was my bunkmate because we had the top bunk and bottom bunk. He asked me if I was a top or bottom. And now that I think about it, hmm, it might have had some different meaning back then. some hints in there. Might have been asking me something.

I don't know, Brian. Maybe, you know, that window closed. Well, anyway, it's good to see you all. We hope you're well. I get a booster today, so I hope I stay well. But getting the old COVID booster. They were, I had to reschedule it. It was originally scheduled, but it was scheduled right in the smack middle of my sinus infection.

They won't give you the booster if you're sick. So I'm good enough now. The antibiotics have done enough of their job to jab me. So that's today after the show. Actually, right after the show, I got to run over there and get her done. Excellent. Yeah, it's going to be. I'm sure it'll go well.

You didn't have a reaction to the first two, so I don't think you're going to have a reaction to this one. Yeah, it should be okay. Sam mentions in the chat, and we heard from Randy over the weekend. Right after FilmSack, his booster kicked in, and he got, it just floored him, just wrecked him. Yeah, yeah. But he also had kind of a reaction to the second one. So, yeah, my guess is my first two are nothing. Yeah, my first two are nothing for me, so I don't expect I'll have much.

Although they say if you get it when you're just coming off of a cold. Oh, great. A really bad cold that comes from a toddler. I don't know, man. Those stories I hear from that are just horrible. I hear it's bad if you've been playing Halo. You're going to have a... Yeah, right, exactly.

We'll see how that goes. Anyway, so that's today, but we have other things to discuss. For example, found a little something I thought you might find interesting. It's, again, from our... our era, sort of, more early 90s, but, you know, pre-internet or right as the internet was about to happen, Bill Gates went on David Letterman, and he did it to, I guess this has been 95, so it's a little well in the 90s, but he went into, to Letterman's show in 1995 as part of a promotional tour, Bill Gates running around the country, talking to talk shows and stuff

for Windows 95. And this question came up, and Dave's reaction, though, you know, it's comedic because he needs to be comedic. I get that. But it also, I think, is a telling thing about the time where we really didn't know what this, quote-unquote, new internet thing was. And I just thought the clip was interesting. So I'm going to play it, all right? So here's that clip.

But, you know, I think about this. And what about this internet thing? Do you know anything about that? Sure. What the hell is that exactly? Well, it's become a place where people are publishing information. Right. So everybody can have their own homepage companies are there.

the latest information. It's wild what's going on. You can send electronic mail to people. It is the big new thing. Yeah, but you know, it's easy to criticize something you don't fully understand, which is my position here. Go ahead.

But I can remember a couple of months ago there was like a big breakthrough announcement that on the internet or on some computer deal, they were going to broadcast a baseball game. You could listen to a baseball game on your computer. And I just thought to myself, does radio ring a bell? You know what I mean?

Swap, by the way, swap that for podcasts, just for the heck of it. Right, exactly. Radio show, and you'll get why this was interesting to me. So anyway, here's the... Well, Dave, it's actually how people are going to get all their porn in the future. Here's the rest of it. There is a difference.

It's not a huge difference. What is the difference? You can listen to the baseball game whenever you want, too. Oh, I see. So it's stored in one of your men. memory deals and then you could come back a year later yeah yeah yeah do tape recorders ring a bell okay so i just thought i just thought like you know as much as it's dave just trying to be funny it's also kind of shows everybody's brain at the time of like yeah exactly like why would you

yeah well i can go to a library and find books i could do this and get you know a newspaper and get published works yeah i thought that was great so uh so yeah and there's lots of other stuff like For example, ICOR says it. Radio has limited range. Radio has, what else are going to say? Oh, um. Interference. Interference. Right. There's like a sound quality issue. There's a million little caveats you could throw around this thing that we would all understand now. Right. You know, we're all running around with Spotify and Apple Music and a million other services in our head and podcast players and all this stuff. We don't even think about it. But, you know, at the time, it must have seemed insane to a lot of people. In 25 years, you're going to have a show, Mr. Letterman, that is only available via streaming. Right. And your beard will be snowy white and 40 feet long.

Can you believe it? And Schaefer will still be bald. Yeah, and you'll go, ha, Paul, Paul, he'll say. Well, anyway, I thought you didn't do that. Paul. Hey, speaking of stumping, no, there's no speaking of. I have no transition. Yeah. Speaking of Stumping Brian, let's stump Brian. A listener, a very cool listener sent something into me that we have to do. And let me see if I can find it. Hold on. That's right here. There it is. Okay. So this is the person who sent it in. Tim Watson. I want to thank him for this because it's awesome. He's almost the dentist from Seinfeld. Right. He almost is. If it was Wattley, we'd all be. He's almost the Martian.

So he said, hey, you know, it sounds like Brian's Mr. Music guy and always talks about the Beatles this time of year. Why don't you stump him on some Beatles questions? And I said, ooh, okay. That'd be fun. Let's do that. So, Brian, I'm going to give you some questions here. If you get them right, you hear this, you get it wrong. And this is our chance to throw questions of Brian, because he's always quizzing us.

And, you know, it's nice to turn the tables. I like when the tables are turned. I like being quizzed. Yeah, why not? So here's his first question. Let's see how you do. These are multiple choice. They're 12 of them in total. According to the Beatles song, what is the capacity of the Royal Albert Hall in London? Well, now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall. Let's see. Do you want to know? I won't even give you the options if you just know it.

I think it's, I might need the options. I think it's 100,000 holes in Blackford, Lancashire. Yeah, let me have the choices. Is it A-3,000? B, 1, 2, 3,4, C, 4,000, or D, 10,000. Oh, shoot, 10,000 holes in Blackford, Lancashire. 10,000, I think, is right. Is it 10,000? Incorrect, the answer is 4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire,

and now they know how many holes it takes to fill. All right, here's... I don't know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall. There you go. It's all right. It was an early, keep going, keep going. It was an early, you know, just an early get you wet kind of, geez, wet your whistle. I'm wet.

Thank you. Great. That was the wrong terminology. Okay, here we go. Who in August 1962 advised Neil Aspinall to stay on as the Beatles road manager when he was considering quitting. Was it A, Pete Best, B, Paul McCartney, C, Pete Best's mother, Mona, or D, Brian Epstein. I was going to say, Brian Epstein would have been my guess. He was the Beatles producer before George Martin, and that would have been my guess without hearing the choices.

So you just stick with that one then. Keeping them on as road manager. Yeah, I'm going to say, I'm going to say Brian Epstein. Brian Epstein, is that correct? Ah, man. Pete Best, actually. Oh, really? It was Pete Best.

Yeah, it says when Pete Best. One of the 12 people lovingly called the Fifth Beetle. There really are. It's like, I don't know about that being 12, but there are a bunch of people who, oh, Yeah, he's like the fifth beetle. George Martin, Brian Epstein. Sure. Yeah.

Yeah, lots. Now, what's funny, here's some added info. When Pete Best was sacked in August of 62, he persuaded his best friend Neil Aspinall to stay with the Beatles. Neil Aspinall at the time was in a relationship with Mona Best, his mother. Oh, his mom. Okay. Neil Aspinall later became managing director of Apple Corps, which is their recording deal.

Yeah. Yeah. And then along. Preston, another fifth beetle. A long, long lawsuit would happen with Apple computers. It was a long and winding road that came from that. Decades. All right.

Next one. What is the relationship between the subject of the Beatles song, Dear Prudence, and the person nicknamed Old Blue Eyes. So what is the relationship? Wow. Okay. So, well, Old Blue Eyes is Frank Sinatra. Prudence.

Mm-hmm. This is a John Lennon's song. But John Lennon's... John Lennon had crappy upbringing like his mother didn't even live in the same house lived down the street

in like a different house kind of disowned John Lennon's father and John. Geez, I didn't know that. Yeah. So I'm pretty sure Prudence is not

I want to say no, Martha was Martha was the dog. What made you say that name? Let's see. Prudence? Who would that been about? Do you want the options?

I can give you the options. Oh, yeah, let me have the options. All right, here you go. Sister and brother-in-law, there was no relationship, is B. C, daughter and father, or D, wife and husband. Okay, well, daughter would have been Nancy Sinatra. I'm ruling that one out. Sister, brother-in-law.

What was the last one you said, brother and sister? Oh, no, husband and wife. Wife and husband, yeah. I'm going to say husband and wife. I'm going to say one of Frank Sinatra's wives was the inspiration for Dear Prudence. Is that the correct answer? Incorrect. The answer is sister and brother-in-law.

Prudence Farrow, whose sister Mia Farrow was married at the time to Old Blue Eyes Frank Sinatra. Prudence Farrow, I didn't know that. Okay, cool. I didn't know. I always forget that Mia Farrow, even after seeing that documentary, was married to Frank for a while. I forget all about that. All right. What part did Mark Dingham, Philip Gard, and John Bining play in the making

of the Beatles song, I Am the Walrus. Here are your options. Wow. Yeah, I'll better take those options because I don't know any of those damn names. Oh my God. These are tough. These are tough. A, they were the costume designers for the promo film of,

for the promo film, I am the Walrus. B, they were members of the stream of consciousness therapy group that attended John Lennon and are credited as additional lyrics on the record or four additional lyrics. C, they were session musicians for the song, or D, they were actors in a radio play featuring the song. Oh, interesting.

Okay. Geez, I mean, there are a whole bunch of backing vocals at the end of that song chanting. Jumper, jumpers, stick it up your jumper, something like that. I can't remember what the actual line is, but that's the, that's the, what it's been written as. I'm going to say they're the stream of consciousness, the John Linen thing. Let's find out if that's the correct answer. Incorrect. The answer is they were actors in a radio play featuring this song.

Who would know that, though? Who would know that? In a radio play? That was the one I ruled out immediately. Yeah, it's surprising. Actors in a radio play. I would have as well. All right.

Which of these so-called Fifth The Beatles appeared in the 1978, Peter Frampton, and B.G's movie, Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Oh, okay. All right. A, Pete Best, B, George Martin, not to be confused with George R.R. Martin, just George Martin. Just George Martin. Yeah. C. Billy Preston or D. Eric Clapton. Ooh.

Man, Billy Preston was my first thought. And, you know, I'm going to stick with Billy Preston because his funk would have fit in perfectly with that B.G's abomination. Well, you are. Correct. Nice to go. Finally. Jeez. I needed one.

Billy Preston appears as Sergeant Pepper. George Martin worked on the soundtrack, but did not appear in the things. Oh, really? He was Sergeant Pepper? How did I now remember that? I remember George Burns is Maxwell and his silver hammer. I remember Aerosmith doing Come Together. Man, I forgot that Billy Preston was Sergeant Pepper himself.

Now, here's one. I don't know how you'd ever know this, but here you go. Okay. Which actor from the Beatles film A Hard Day's Night is connected to the Sanford and Son character, Fred Sanford, as played by Red Fox. So which actor from Hard Day's Night is connected to Sanford? It's connected, okay, all right. Yeah.

And your answers are, A, I hope Lamont is a choice. A, Victor Spenetti, B, Wilford Bramble, C, Anna Quail, or D. Lionel Blair. I don't know any of these people. I'm going to say the first one, because that's the only name that actually sounds familiar. Victor Spenetti? Spenetti, yeah. Let's see if there's any Spenetti spaghetti here. we go let's find out oh i'm all right not knowing that one yeah it's uh wilford branville brandville he

started uh let's see albers of the equivalent of fred sanford and hard day's night but he played paul's clean grandfather okay that's a weird one's clean gray okay yeah that's weird god i've only seen that once you know that was one that's funny that uh it is funny this is actually funny uh i saw that because back when apple was introducing quick time we were developers and they really wanted us to do a lot of stuff with QuickTime. So we got a big box of promo stuff. And one of the things in there was a CD with the quick time of a hard day's night, the entirety of the film. This is before DVDs and stuff. Oh, weird. That's weird. Yeah. So we got a CD containing the entirety of

Hard Days Night from Apple. I might even still have that somewhere. What was the format? How'd you play it? Was it like just the ABI? We played it with QuickTime on our, I don't remember what the format was. QT1. But just some file? That's all it was? Just some file, yeah. Wow. Like on a CD. I mean, we had to put the CD in.

We had to launch QuickTime, and it would play it on our perform a 630s or whatever we were using for development back then. Nice. Yeah. My memory is that the way, there was a period of time where some CDs, they were pushing a format where CDs would auto play certain formats, but your player had to be compatible with doing it. Yes. I don't know what that was. Yeah, they also, we also got the residence. freak show and I was a big residence fan anyway it's these these four guys who wear giant eyeballs

they dress in tuxedos with the top hats yeah and then they have giant eyeballs for heads residents wow wow and um that's pretty cool uh yeah and anyway they gave us their entire freak show interactive experience weird well all right here's uh here's your next one yeah you just watch this so this may help peter jackson's film get back covers the period before ringo star goes off to make the Magic Christian movie. Who was Ringo Starr's co-star from the Magic Christian? Was it A?

He even appears in the film. I'll answer this without... Oh, good. It's Peter Sellers, who shows up and just sits around like a bump on a log while the band is talking about, I don't know, something. You're correct.

Well done. Yeah. That's exactly right. Inspector Cluso himself. The options on here were Eric Idle, Michael Crawford, Barbara Bach and Peter Sellers, and you absolutely got it right? Barber Buck. I think Barbara Buck showed up, too, because she was

oh no, she wasn't married to Ringo at the time. She married Ringo afterwards, and they're still married, I think. Yeah, they're together. She's the one in the Caveman movie with him. Caveman, yeah. That movie is a piece of holy shit. Yes, it is. It's so bad. Ringo. I bet it's

better, though, if you compare it to the Magic Christian. Probably. I have never even seen hide nor hair of that. I've only heard of it. I have no idea what to expect from it. I wouldn't mind seeing that. We should film sack that. We should film sack that.

All right. Here we go. What connects, this is a weird one. What connects Richard A. Cook, sorry, Richard A. Cook the third. Eleanor Braun, Julian Lennon, and Meta Davis. Oh, these are all people who are sort of named in Beatles songs. So, let me hear the choices. Because I know Jude, Julian is Jude.

Eleanor, it was reused for Eleanor Rigby, but let me hear the choices in case that's not one of them. So that whole Jude thing being heroin is bull crap. That was never true. Yeah, no. But Blue Lucy and the Scout with Diamonds is LSD. Oh, it is. Yeah. Wait, what, strawberry fields, what do we got there?

What do we got going there? The rumor, and I don't think this was, the rumor was that it was the track marks left on your arm from shooting up. Oh, everybody wanted to make everything a drug reference back then. They absolutely did. It's the same way, you know, they said, well, Paul's dead because, you know, if you play this backwards, it sounds like they're saying Paul is dead. Yeah, this stuff is so stupid. I kind of loved it when I was younger, but it's stupid now. Anyway, stupid.

All right. Let me hear the options. A, they are all featured in the Beatles film, Help. B, they were members of a pop group that performed Lennon and McCartney songs in the 1968 Eurovision Song Contest. That's a dumb one. That's a great. Wow. I mean, someone went deep with the, I love whoever wrote these. Yeah, these are really great. They were inspirations for Beatle's songs, or D. They were members of a short-lived Beatles tribute act formed by Julian Lennon. Obviously, C. Yeah, I'm sticking with the C. Now, so let me have those names again, because I got Julian and I got Eleanor Rigby. Who are the... We got Richard A. Cook, the third. Eleanor Braun and Meta Davis. Davies, sorry.

I wonder if Richard A. Cook was the inspiration for Mr. Kite and the benefit of Mr. Kite. That's an interesting. I'll have to look those up and see who those get, what songs those two inspired. So, hey, Jude. Meta Davis. If Hey, Jude is just. It's Julian. Yeah, Julian. Don't be sad about your parents' divorce.

Was that? It was basically what that was. And then, but that kid just got left in the dust. He really did. Yeah. Hey, June. I'm leaving. love Sean more gonna treat him like he's related

where are they now are they round they're round right him and Sean they're doing stuff okay yeah yeah I want to say that um I think they might have both been involved I know a lot of the surviving or the one of the Beatles children were involved with um or maybe they just all got together and watched get back when it got really or something. Oh, okay. That's, I should, I should, I actually really need to see that. I've watched it.

Everybody's telling me to see it. Okay. Final two questions. Here you go. Who was said that Ringo, or sorry, who first said that Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles? Okay. Was it? Probably Ringo said it first.

Was it John Lennon? Was it Jasper Carrot? Was it Paul McCartney or was it Philip Pope? Oh, man. Oh, was it the, uh, so didn't get back. They read an article from the, uh, the Daily Mail that kind of talks about the Beatles being past their prime and they're doing all this stuff. And I want to say Philip Pope was the, uh, I might be wrong.

I think Philip Pope was the writer of that. I'm going to say Philip Pope. All right. Let's see if it's Philip Pope. Is it Philip Pope? It is Philip Pope. It's fun to say that name. Um, here's some background.

So for many years, comedian Jasper Carr was thought to have. said it first, but it was first said by the actor Philip Pope in a 1981 sketch written by Jeffrey Perkins, that one you mentioned, for the BBC comedy show Radioactive. By the way, earlier we were asking who Richard A. Cook was the inspiration from what song? He's bungalow bill is who that is. Oh, really? Okay. Oh, the children sing! Yeah, that's the guy. All right. Final question. I think you're doing all right at this stage. I might have turned things around about halfway through this. Yeah, and considering the, I think, the high difficulty level of the thing, I don't, I think you've done pretty good.

Yeah, these are, these are tough. Here's your final one. Sorry, who did John Lennon publicly describe as a stupid get? Oh, yeah, okay. Here are your options. It's for Walter Raleigh, I think, but let me hear the choices. Paul McCartney, Walter Raleigh, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, or Tommy Smothers and the Smothers Brothers, of the Smothers Brothers. Boy, they're really keeping with the bungalow bill.

Sir Walter Ralee, he was such a stupid git. No, no, no. Well, by the way. Oh, no, that was, I'm so tired, not Bunglobill. That's also from the white album. And for the record, chat, it is, I probably is supposed to be get, but it's written here. It's written here as get. So, that's why.

Oh, really? Okay, yeah, such a stupid get. Yeah, it means get. You would, so you say Walter Raleys? Sir Walter Ralee, yeah. You are correct. Well done. You did it.

Thanks. Brian, I didn't keep track, but you did well. It's just somebody out there Somebody out there kept track You can tell Brian what a scar was Good set Who's the person who sent that in I think is in there right

Greg yes the name once again is Hold on I have it right here That was from Tim Watson who put that together Tim Watts oh yeah of course right the Martian TRPW in the chat AirPW Oh wow so is the T Tim and the W Watson And you have two middle names

Yeah what's that about Or does that sound Does that sound for only will P. or something like that. What's your deal? Now we must know more. R.P. Yeah, that was great. I like doing these. Jim, real player, Watson. He's a real player. I like it. All right. I love doing those sort of things.

So, thanks for that, Tim. That was awesome. All right. Yes. Brian, tell us about this horrible news because this is bad stuff. Oh, yeah, no kidding. Boy, we go from that to this. So some sad news going on here in the the Emmett household specifically Tina's

family her dad a couple months ago was diagnosed with the squamous cell carcinoma and previously

had a blood cancer that required him going through chemo he went through chemo came out and we thought things were

going to be okay the squamicell carcinoma has kind of devastated his health and it was so far along that there was really

nothing they could do to treat it, except kind of just extend his life by having him do some chemotherapy and taxil and stuff like that. So, um, uh, he, they basically said, yeah, we're looking probably at like six months. Well, that changed, uh, this last weekend with, um, him contracting COVID somehow. We don't know where, um, but somehow, Jim, um, Um, we got COVID and, uh, the COVID just basically accelerated everything. And he's got blood clotting in his lungs, which is something that, that COVID, you know, can cause in, in circumstances. And this cancer is a lung based cancer, right? It's a, the, the squamous cell carcinoma can be a lot of different things. It can be, um, bone. It can be, uh, it can manifest in different

places. And I can't remember where it was that the blood clotting has definitely come from the lungs. I think, I don't remember if the squamous cell carcinoma. So, um, so he's in the hospital. He's in, uh, he's being moved to hospice care. Um, and I did something that I never, you know, 18 months ago, never would have expected that I would have done. But I, as well as Tina and her mom, suited up in full gown, face mask, gloves, a shield, face shield and went into his uh you know went into his uh hotel room so kind of exposed we kind

of exposed uh all of our our health uh to potentially getting COVID but I don't we couldn't not have done it right like you know it's it's a situation where you've got to yeah um and you're quarantine now that's the that's the thing is you yeah self quarantining I've had the it's funny he's had the Vax and boosters um which probably probably is what has made things so so much better than he probably could have been for his wife, for Connie. Obviously, I don't know how much worse things could be for him, but for her, the fact that she's been vexed and boosted as well as probably what's kept her from getting it this whole time. So, but yeah, so, yeah, I'm self-quarantining. um talk to uh dr tollbert basically four days after our last interaction with him i'm gonna take the test

and see if i've got it or sooner if i have any symptoms but um so no puzzle pint tonight no spider man thursday no you know whatever that's fine what i obviously those are such insignificant um yeah even spider man you guys might think that brian would do anything for spider man but no. Yeah, no, I'm not, I'm not going to potentially infect an entire theater full of people. Yeah. Because I can't rip on people who are jerks with COVID and be one of them myself. So I obviously have to be.

You don't want to be that guy. I don't want to be that guy. So. I don't like this world we're living in of resurgent cancers. My wife's sister, you know, I told the story about her stage four colon cancer. They thought they got it all. She went in for a new test. He's got like eight new tumors.

And they're all moved into her abdomen. and it's all this mess now and now we don't know how long that's going to take or what the deal is. She finds out today, I think, what the plan's going to be or what the, you know, all of that. She's a lot younger, but, man, it's just like, which is even worse, right? I mean, it's bad. It's horrible regardless, but, man, when somebody even, when it's somebody young, it's even worse. Yeah, it's terrible. She's not even in her 50s yet.

She's like 48, I think, her sister. So, man, and like you said, we went to the hospital yesterday, and, I can tell you just firsthand seeing the hospital workers and how overworked and stretched the limit. Basically, beds at the hospital are they, if somebody checks out, somebody leaves, they turn that room around and somebody's in there that same day in that same bed because there are so many COVID cases. And the current count is like 81% of the people taking up. hospital beds right now in Colorado are unvaccinated. Yeah. So, yeah.

So if there's people listening who are unvaccinated, yeah, you know, maybe it's time. Do I just go ahead and get it down. Pull up your big boy pants. Get the shot. It's no big deal. Super easy. Well, pull down your big boy pants, get the shot in your butt or pull up your big boy sleeves and get in the arm. Well, it definitely sounds like he's on, you know, this is your, instead of the months you

are going to get or even the week's going to get it. I know. We were thinking, all right, we'll get Christmas with them. We did Christmas. Christmas, like we gave him a Christmas present last night, we picked up a, when we were in Ireland, picked up the coat of arms for his family and had it framed. And we knew, you know, that this might be the opportunity. Yeah, what a cool thing. Yeah, he loved it. Oh, my God, his face lit up. He is in amazingly the best spirits. He is such a strong, positive person. So he's taking this in. tremendous and he still has hope and whatever what i'm not going to stop people from oh heck no yeah yeah yeah you well i you know all the best to them and and to tina of course and as someone who's lost their father it's it's doesn't matter what process or when it happens it's

it's all it's bad it's it's never it's never easy yeah well uh so there you go there's our there's our dark part of the morning news yeah so sorry folks to kind of bring things down after that great beatles quiz but um we go i figure if people you You know, people on Friday are going to say, Brian, what did you think of Spider-Man? I'm going to have to say, oh, here's, I didn't see it. No spoilers, please. Oh, listen, if anybody does want to take their phone into a showing and stream it for me all happily. Yeah, you got any Plex server folks out there.

That's a movie I don't want to see on anything but a big screen. Even if it's my own big screen here, we'll be in theaters before it finally comes to video. Yeah, there you go. I would think so. I think it'll hang out for a bit. Oh, I, Corey, yeah, we've got the, we've got the AMC Stubbs, so there's no refund. We just basically, we get 12 movies a month, and so there's no, I don't have to worry about getting a refund. I'm excited for whoever looks today and gets those tickets that we got right in the middle of the packed, completely, you know, sold out theater. Good, good for you guys. Yeah, well done.

Somebody checked and did it, I'm sure, already. Somebody's got your spot. They have no idea. Somebody has, yeah, exactly. Like, whoa, how are these seats available all of a sudden? Yeah, their minds are blown. All right. Well, we'll launch into some.

Our best to Tina and her family. And obviously, Tina's who I'm most worried about because I'm, sure, I'm a bald fat guy and COVID ain't good for me. But she's immune compromised because of her previous cancer and that sort of thing. So keeping her safe is my number one priority. So anyway, that's my big worry right now is her. Well, now to cheer us all up, let's do some really dumb news. Stupid, stupid, stupid news.

Brought to you by. Brought to you by Andrew Lee and his Etsy store, which you can find by going to Etsy.com slash shop slash Andrew J.L. or just visit Andrew J.L.com. Andrew says, quote, My custom leather business is Andrew J.L. leather. I made custom leather goods, custom leather cigar cases, leather book covers, pouches, laser etched keychains, wallets, et cetera.

End quote. Check it out at Etsy.com slash shop slash Andrew J.L. Yeah, go check it out. One of our listeners making cool shit. That's right. All right. Here's your story, first story of the day. a woman delivered her own baby in a car.

But not just in a car. You hear about these stories all the time. Oh, pull over to the Walmart. I got to have this baby or whatever. No. I think Linus from Lost was born in a car. Exactly. But in this case, she was born while traveling and driving.

60 miles per hour. No. Was she really driving? I think so. Let me make sure about that. I don't think she was driving. No, you're right. You're right.

It was in the passenger seat. I was hoping she was a Tesla. It was on auto. Yeah, yeah. The robot was getting him there. She gave birth to this kid at 60 miles per hour. A partner sped through flooded roads trying to reach a hospital in Cumbria. It is appropriate because that's where he was conceived in a car going 60 miles an hour.

Yeah. Try to do all your big moments at 60 miles an hour. Or she, I guess. She was conceived. Yeah, there you go. Let's see. Her name is Chiara Musetti, age 28, was just minutes away from Furness General Hospital. baby sienna popped out as her partner james spence 32 rounded a roundabout oh those roundabouts

they'll do it to you every damn time you want to be late for something getting a roundabout we have one here that nobody knows how to use everyone's stupid they're all stupid really oh my gosh we know how we know exactly how to do it the opposite way thanks to ireland yeah right exactly like if you've had enough experience with a roundabout it should not be a problem but there are people who live here that are just like, I'm in the circle, so I'm just flooring it. I'm not yielding anything. Yeah, exactly.

Dumbasses. They're so dumb. Well, if they're in the circle, they don't need to yield. It's the ones coming into the circle from outside. Yeah, that's a good point. So this lady had the baby. They stayed calm as best they could.

You know, obviously it's hard to have a baby, but little Siena. Could you turn the radio down? He was, she's okay, though. Baby's good. Good. Congratulations to those people. I don't know where Cumbria is. It's in the UK somewhere. Yeah. Oh, yes, Cumbria.

Yep. Here's a fun story about fake meat. Okay. I'm into this. So some faux meat burgers made from maggots and mealworms are on their way. Yeah. And so this is going to get us into a conversation about would we or wouldn't we eat this. But anyway, dinners have been increasingly warm to the idea of burgers made from peas and coconut oil, crab cake, crashing from arachokes and kelp, and kelp, and chicken nuggets form with gluten and tapioca starch. But big food producers are bedding, and they'll soon welcome crickets, beetles, mealworms, and maggots into the mix as well. Everyone's looking at the environmental impact of sourcing food, so there's a lot of growth potential, says, Tai Wanat Kesa, Zippewan.

Sure. Group Director of Innovation, a can tuna producer, Thai Union Group, PCL, which is diversifying into insect proteins. And we already, like, I've got a bunch of dog food here that's all cricket protein. Oh, really? And the dogs love it. They freaking love it. It is an animal, isn't it, is it not still considered, I guess an insect isn't meat? No, but it's a, it's a protein.

It's a crispy carapace. I mean, it's considered a, I mean, it's a safe to eat protein. and it provides the proteins you would get from meat and does it in a way that's actually healthier for you, but also way less, like, what is it like? I mean, we've eaten crickets on this show. I've eaten scorpion. Well, but see, the idea here is it being burger farming?

You won't even know. Right, exactly. You're eating a double animal style. Yeah. And supposedly, like, you'll save, I forgot what it was with the dog food. It's like 400,000 gallons of water a year, would be used for your dog's food to be produced,

or you could go the cricket way, and it's, like, cutting 90% or something of how much water it takes to do a thing. And we don't give the dogs the option. We're going to say, would you like your food to be made out of maggots and crickets? Yeah, they don't know. No, no, those are bugs.

Ruck you, Raggy. Ruck off. I'm grieving. Good people are crazy. What should do, scooby snacks? Rock off, Raggy. All right. Let's see.

Let's see. Oh, vegetarians wouldn't eat them still because they're living gangs. Yeah, because they're right. It's still an animal product. Yeah. Insects are, after all, animals. But evangelists say the 2,000 or so species of edible critters have low carbon footprint and require less than livestock and many grains.

That part's pretty much undisputable. The question is, if we're going to get used to this idea of that burger patty being made out of a bunch of crickets. Yeah. I don't know. Oh, I don't know about the, I mean, I'd do it if you didn't tell me about it, right? So it would have to be a situation where after I ate it, you could say, by the way, you remember on TMS when you said that you'd eat a burger if it was made from mealworms

and crickets and maggots, you just did. Yeah. But I couldn't do it if you said, Brian, here's a burger, enjoy it. And it's made from crickets and maggots and mealworms. For me, if you said mealworms, I'd be more attuned than I would if you said crickets or maggots. Maggates I'd still be okay with. But the maggots is where I kind of draw the line. Where I struggle with crickets is they've got like hard edges to them and shells and like legs and things.

Or at least mealworms are kind of just a meaty little worm, you know? Can we just go back to eating dolphins? I mean, things were so much simpler. Yeah, life was easier. when we just kill a dolphin. It was easier when we just could eat dolphins. That's my dolphin. That's as good as I had right there.

That's all I could do. That's the best I have. Sorry, everybody. Bobby Frank says, so you'll do something if you didn't know you were doing it. What a brave statement, L.O.L. Well, yeah.

I mean, yeah. But the difference is that I want you to tell me afterwards, right? So it's not like, nope, if I ate it, I don't even want to know I ate it. Go on with my life. Yeah. I think the brave statement is saying, by the way, you just ate cricket or you just ate maggot. Yeah, and then you not throwing up right then or whatever.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. That's where the bravery comes in. It's a small, it's a tiny bit of bravery, but I'd say it's still bravery. Well, when I was in China, when I ate those dog tongues, I didn't know what they were until I ate them and then they told me. Yeah. And so I started to wonder, would I eat them again, knowing that I'd already eaten them and it was fine. right no I think I wouldn't yeah they grossed me out to know that I don't know like there are

parts of the world that are already used to this they're eating mealworm based food and they're already eating crickets by the handful and everything else so they're they're going to be fine but I don't know you got a you got a cultural problem here we got to work on it and I'm I'm fine with the beyond meat my only issue with the plant-based burghers is that the way they're currently producing them there's not a calorie difference because they add so much salt to make it taste burger-like. Yeah. I love sodium.

I agree. You know, if I'm going to be, you know, happily do it, but I just, I don't know. I want, if I'm going to eat that, I want to lose weight doing it. Not only that, they, they're, the process of making those meat alternatives is not as, it's not a giant cut in the carbon footprint. Like, you're actually not saving that much. So there's, there's the health benefits and the vegan benefits and all of that, supposedly. but the environmental impact is still pretty strong. I'm all for like an alternative thing.

And what I want is them to figure out the lab-grown meat. I want them to get that nailed down. So you take DNA of a steak, you know? Right. And you grow it in a lab and just do it so well that it's like the perfect steak. We're good. We're going to Joey Pence. Come on and tell me, I know that this steak was grown in a lab.

That's right. It's the most delicious steak I've ever eaten. I just saw him in my recommendal this week. Which I'll talk about on... Oh, can't wait. On Wednesday, yeah. Beverly Hills... No, not Beverly Hills Cop.

Was the Beverly Hills Cop? No, I was running scared that we had the first appearance of Joey Pan's with the red mohawk. I think it's the first time I ever saw him ever. Yeah, yeah, you too. Very young in that. The one I saw him in here is a little later. Let's see, that would have been 88, my movie that I watched. Okay.

I watched an old movie. Can't wait. I watched the second of my two recommendals last night, and it was also very good. Really? Okay. We're going to find out tomorrow on Recommendantial. All right. Final story here. A Bay Area, let's see, you know, there's San Francisco and all that business.

A Bay Area horse molester is sentenced to jail, finally. Oh, geez. Yeah, you can all unlock your doors, everybody. That guy is going to do. Yeah, say nay. Yeah, say nay to this. A man who sexually molested horses at an equestrian center in the Marin Headlands was sentenced to 210. Sorry, 210.10, I know I said 12.

210 days in jail on Tuesday Because you wanted it to be a palindromic number I think I did I think I did Deep down secretly you want everything To be palindromed Part of me wants every number To do a pattern

Yeah I can't help it I get it I believe it Cotian Dion Baker age 23 Who was ordered to register As a sex offender for life And stay at least 100 yards From the crime scene

The Presidio Riding Club As well as other stables and barns Do you really have to sign up To be a sex offender Not sign up But, you know, register is one because it's the horses you're after? I don't know. I mean, man, that just seems odd.

Like, do you have to expect, you go to your new neighborhood, and the neighbors are like, we hear he's a sex offender. It's just horses, I swear. Yeah, I don't, but I don't know if that makes it. I don't know what it makes it. It just makes it a weird, not better, not worse. It just makes it a weird, weirdly worse, yeah. I don't know.

It's really weird. Because I don't want to see, I mean, God, it's horrible if it happens to a kid. Yeah. So I can't really say what's worse if it's a horse. But it just feels like, yeah, I think our kid might still be in danger even though this guy's molesting horses. Yeah. Like. But the first of all he's a child molester.

Well, at least our horses are safe. Yeah. If he's capable of the one, you worry about the other or you worry just that the guy's unstable. Exactly. Exactly. At some point, the horses aren't going to do it for him anymore. Yeah. He says the brutality, the Martin County, or sorry,

Marin County District Attorney, Lori Frugoli, Fugoli. Frugoli, says the brutality of the defendant's act is reprehensible, she says. Whether the victim is a human being or animal, there's no place in our society for this kind of cruelty. Well, I agree. Yeah, I agree. Rangers found a vehicle crashed near a ditch when they tried to, he tried to run away. In the interview, the defendant admitted to crashing his vehicle, breaking. to the buildings, you get tools to get his vehicle out, and then sexually assaulted the horses

while he was there. He further states, he was under the influence of mushrooms while the events occurred. Well, that could be a huge part of this. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I hope when the judge sentenced him, he said, all right, the number of years you're going to be sentenced to is, he banged it out, however many times. Yeah, I'm trying to try to do that so that I'll listen to the audience. could enjoy it as well, but that would be 210 times.

By the way, I can make laugh, I can make laugh. I can make van laugh too. I can make van laugh uncontrollably just by doing a horse noise. All I have to do is go, and he loses it. He thinks that's hilarious for some reason. Oh, we're going to take a break. I made that word when I dropped all my scrabble tiles up before.

Oh, my God, Obie, that's not a word. Moops. I'm sorry, the card says moops. All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, it's time. to spend some time with Bill Duran making things. We're going to have a science segment with Bobby, all that and more coming around the band, but Brian has to play a song first.

Sure. Well, here is a band that is touring, touring the U.S. with Dropkick Murphys, and it won't surprise you because this band feels like, oh, well, I listen to these guys, and then I'm also going to be in the mood for some Drop Kick Murphys. These guys are Celtic Punk, The Rumjacks. They have a brand-new album coming out February 11th called Brass for Gold. I guess it's an EP. This is the second single they've released for.

from the album. It's called Blood Soaked in Chorus. Here are the Celtic punk heroes, the rum jacks. Mommy and my dear, can you hurt me here? I don't want you to go away. Spending my time being lost in the tides. I'm riding for you everywhere. I'm spinning like a record and I'm blacking out and never thinking that I ever let you go. I'll be riding every day until I've said it every way that I know.

Sing till my grow words, break my voice for you. Love so decorous because you're my only music. My mom, my dear, how I want you here I'm sick for your song in the night It's been a long time since we drowned in the wine I drink till I lose my sight I'm betting like the record And I'm blocking out and never thinking that I ever let you go

I'll be riding every day until I've set it every way that I know Sing till my brovers I'll break my voice for you Love so decorous Because you're my only music My name, my dear, can you help me here

I don't want you to go away Spending my time being lost in the tides I'm riding for you every day I'm spinning like a record Blacking out and never thinking that I ever let you go I've been riding every day until I've set it every way that I know Sting till my throat is just to break my voice for you Love's so decorous

It's got my own music Hey, y'all. Hey, y'all. What are you doing? What are you up to these days? I don't know. A lot of people are thinking about therapy this time of year. It's just the right time to do it, you know. It's getting cold out, a moment to think to yourself. And I don't know. The best way to think about therapy is through a bunch of analogies, really.

You know, we get our cars tuned up to prevent bigger issues down the road, right? That's the thing we do. It's worth checking in on. We get our annual checkups to go to the gym to maintain, you know, physical wellness. Or we go to the gym to do that as well. And prevent injury, disease, that sort of thing. You get that yearly, you know, check up with your doctors. Good.

and we do chores regularly to avoid big messes. Nobody wants a roach running around. Keep that house clean. Well, going to therapy is like all of these. It's routine maintenance on your mental and emotional wellness to prevent bigger issues down the road. Going to therapy doesn't mean something's necessarily wrong with you. It just means you're investing in yourself to keep your mind healthy.

As you know from listening to the show, you know, my sister Wendy, who's a therapist also. You know this stuff's important. You know what matters to you and those around you. Better Help is customized online therapy that offers video phone and even live chat sessions with your therapist. So you don't have to see anybody on camera if you don't want to. It's much more affordable than in-person therapy. And you can't start communicating so quickly in traditional methods. You can start doing that right away, like in 48 hours or less with better help.

Why invest in everything else and not your mind? Taking care of that carb and not your own mental well-being. this podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp.

A little dabble, do you? All right, we're back, everybody. That song again was? That song, The Rum Jacks from their upcoming EP,

Brass for Gold. It's a new song called, blood-soaked in chorus. That's awesome. Yeah. All right. Punish props time. I'm going to talk to a real maker now.

The maker. And I don't mean a giant worm on Iraqis named the maker. Okay, that's not what I'm talking about. But you are talking about the person that C-3Pio thanks when he goes into his hot oil bath. All right. That maker. Thank the maker.

It's Bill Duran. Your bat is open there, Bill. That was a good, Anthony. Daniels or whatever his name was. Thank you. Thank you very much. Very good. Bill Duran joining us, Maker Extraordinary and purveyor of all things, punish props.com. Bill, it's good to have you back. How are you? Oh, good morning. Good to talk to you guys. Yeah. Good morning. You too. I feel like it has been a couple. Oh, yeah, because I was gone last Monday, right? I think you were sick last Tuesday, yeah. Or Tuesday. That's what it was. Oh, yeah, Tuesday. I was

sick as a pig. And I did, I went in for the COVID test that morning. That's what it was. Yes. Right. Yeah. And then the forgotten the wallet and then go back. Yeah, that will fail. Oh my gosh. It feels like a million years ago. Anyway, Bill, having you around is just such a treat. And here we are the holiday season, trying to find out what we should be making for each other instead of just buying. And I thought maybe you'd be the guy to ask. Actually, you don't have to talk about that if you don't want. But hey, Bill, what's going on this week in the world of making? You should make stuff for your family and friends. I made some stuff for gifts myself. Good, good practice. Yeah. Why not? We recently put up a video, last week we put up a video of a prop tour in our basement. Oh, that's fun.

Yeah, so we put most of our props up on the wall in our studio. And I like that because when we film our videos now, you can see them all in the background, but that means people have been asking about them. We've been making these things for well over a decade. There are an awful lot of them. So we put up a tour of me walking. walking around and talking about all of them.

In fact, there were 118 of them that we cover in this video. Look at that. Oh, my gosh. This is so cool. You guys have a good security system. I'd worry somebody's going to see this and go, man, I'm going to break in there and take all those cool props because they're red. As far as anyone knows, we live in Fort Knox. Great.

What is he going to say? No, actually, we don't even lock our doors at night. That's awesome. So, yeah, we, 118 that we didn't even cover everything. I'm sure there's more things around here somewhere that I missed. What's funny is I never really set out to be a collector. I don't really collect things. But my life kind of just attracts this stuff.

You just can't get rid of the things you make. No. Yeah. And there's also that. So many of the things I have up on the wall are things I made, most of them anyway. But some of the things I made are things that were purchased are gifted to me. And I wanted to talk about prop collecting because it is a big world. You don't even have to be a maker to get props. You can just collect them if you want.

There are a lot of different types of props you can collect. Do you dump the props into the thing? Yeah, you dump the props into the thing. I don't know how you have so much room. I mean, I know at some point you would have to either bigger place to store it all or start getting rid of stuff. But do you find that's a challenge? Just, you know, keeping it all. Yep. Definitely a challenge. We don't have a dining room anymore. We got rid of our dining room table to turn it into an office. And most of the office is full of props. And the spare bedroom is full of props. And then there's a bunch of them in the living room. And then there's the whole basement shop, which is just full of props.

All right. You keep going like this. And you're going to one day mean my favorite episode of hoarders. It's going to be an amazing episode. Oh, yeah, yeah. Because it won't just be like cat turds in newspapers. It'll be like amazing stuff. No, it'll be, but it'll be like, why made these cat turds out of resin? These newspapers are made out of foam. Yeah, there'll still be plenty of cat turds in paper. Oh, yeah, yeah.

No, that's great. I don't know how you do it, but, you know, this business you're in necessitates the physicality, right? It's not like my world where almost everything is digital. You've got to have a lot of physical stuff. And who would trust a prop maker that didn't have props all over him? his walls right like yeah i mean great point great point oh you've got one of those uh i've got so that little um extra hands uh bendable thing with all the eroch clips on it uh i have one of those two and i put it on my chest and put some sunglasses on and pretend it i was dr octopus nice

perfect good you look like alfred malina sometimes i do yeah hello peter oh peter i'm back with a lot of makeup and cg i look good hello peter Anyway, sorry, Bill. Continue with your tour. So one of the types of props you could collect would be a screen-used prop. And I'm here to tell you that Hollywood makes a lot of them. So they're out there, and they keep making them. They keep making new stuff.

So there are websites like the prop store, which I've talked about before on here. They auction off-screen-used props. And there are several other websites like them, and if you look on eBay, you can find screen-use stuff. Authenticating things like that is the tricky part. So if you buy something on eBay, it may not be authentic. Websites like Prop Store do a great job of screen matching and authenticating the stuff that they sell. So if that's your jam, like if you just, if you want, you know, a prop from your favorite movie, that's the place to look.

Oh, yeah. I just noticed there's a, they got the gun and the vest from the Punisher TV show that's just up now. and let's see what they're asking for this business let's see they'll usually put an estimate on there because these are auctioned off so the price is variable yeah it looks like it's

oh it's in auction now they don't have a price weird okay so it sounds like they're what do I hear for the thing and then they yeah exactly exactly yeah okay so now obviously like you can go by you can try and buy like a hero prop

or a screen-used costume. Those tend to go for big bucks in the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. But there are a lot of other props that can be had for a song. So looking for things like smaller props, handheld stuff, or things that they made many copies of. So, for example, sometimes they need currency for a movie.

And they'll get a bunch of funky alien currency printed and then they just got piles of the stuff lying around. That stuff can get sold off for cheap, cheap, cheap. sure uh also look for props from movies that weren't very good all right sure the props are amazing and people aren't interested in them because the movie wasn't very good that's a really good point right like you could have a crappy prop prop from uh dune but it will go for so much more money because it was dune but you can get a great prop from i don't know uh who's talking too yeah

a Bruce Willis head baby or something. I don't know what you'd get from there. But, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. So, like, your crappier-made sci-fi and, you know, fantasy-type epics that nobody cares about, you're going to find some rad swords, guns, and that sort of stuff, I'm guessing. Absolutely, definitely, yeah. Yeah, so keep an eye on it. If you just want something from a movie or a TV show, look for that.

Now, in my collection, I don't have anything that's actually screened use. I've never tried to purchase anything like that. I do have a couple of things that were used in production, though. I have a resin casting of a blaster from the original Battlestar Galactica. So it's just a blank resin casting. It hasn't been painting or anything. It wasn't used on screen, but someone on the production had the mold and then ran some copies and somehow I got one. I have the same thing, a resin casting of a belt buckle from one of the pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Pretty cool. And I also have a chunk of metal from Mythbusters. It's a piece of one of the things they built that was cut into small pieces, and I got my hands on one of them. That's cool. So I have a small chunk of metal. That's awesome. I mean, that's kind of like getting a piece of the Berlin Wall for nerds, you know? It definitely is.

I do. I cherish it. I just looked, nothing from Hudson Huck or Spice World. Oh, man. You have to look at like, what's your favorite bad movie and then just kind of go from there. Yeah. I look for Fury Road, and they've had some Fury Road auctions on here, but they're all gone. It's done.

super expensive. Yeah, yeah. It's bad, unfortunately. Now, if you don't get, get your hands on a screen-made prop, you can get a fan-made prop. And nowadays, there's tons of artists you can find it on the internet

that will sell you a fully finished replica prop. Etsy and eBay are great places to look for that. The junkyard on the replica prop forum is another good place, although you need to be, have an account in good standing to access the junkyard.

You can't just side up and start buying stuff. And then digging around on Instagram is another great way to find, artists who do prop commissions. I used to do prop commissions. I don't anymore. I just, I only want to make videos.

But there's still a lot of people out there taking commissions. You can just straight up buy a mass effect done from them if you want. Yeah. You're, your day, is there, obviously you'd rather be making videos of the work you're doing. But why is it that you would?

Like, just for any other burgeoning dudes out there, is there a reason why you don't want to make props commissions anymore? Like commission work not, just doesn't do it for you or what's the deal like it just too much focus or what yeah the main thing was we shifted especially once brit started working here full time in 2015 we shifted our focus to educational content um and that just takes up our all all of our time i just i don't have time to do individual commissions for people unless there's a special case for a friend or

someone with a giant pile of money yeah i can always i can always make time yeah i absolutely have a have a price. You never say never I always say. I am available yes. To accomplish what we want to do with the educational content we had to put all of our focus on it so that's the main reason why. That makes sense very cool. Now I have

quite a few props that I got fully finished either as a gift or so I actually bought a handful too sometimes one of my friends will be selling a prop and I'm just I need that I'll buy it. And then of course you can get fan made kits and I tons of these.

So since painting and finishing can be the most time-consuming part, lots of artists will just sell the raw casting or a raw 3D print for you to go paint at home. And it's kind of fun to like collaborate with someone. I have a bunch of these and it's fun when I see one of these props up on the wall because it's like, hey, my buddy Harrison made that and then I painted it. And it makes me think of him, which I think is kind of cool. Yeah.

No, that's cool. And of course, you could just make all of your props from scratch. mostly what I've been doing for the last 10 years. You're a scratch proper. That's how you can build your product collection. No, that's cool. Well, I recommend this video highly. It's nice to see all this stuff.

Every once in a while I want to pop up. And I'm like, I remember when he came on the show and talked about that the week you made it or whatever. Yeah, and most of the ones we talk about have videos if you want to go watch that. Yeah, yeah. It's very cool. So go check that out. Punish Props.com, of course, has the featured video right there in the YouTube channel as well. A, Bill, you got a little extra bonus content.

this week? I sure do. Just drop the link in the chat there. If you look up miniature Howls Moving Castle on YouTube, you'll find this Studson Studios. This guy does a bunch of miniature work. He built Howells Moving Castle out of

garbage, and it looks amazing. Oh my gosh. It looks so good. It also looked like it took forever. Oh, that's interesting. He's just, like if you got old Tupperware, old container, You basically have shapes, and then you make those shapes work for, oh, that's a freaking great. That is incredible.

Okay, well, I'm not good. This person's good. That's what I feel too. If I've learned anything, it's that this person's great, and we all are not great. Yeah. That's my takeaway. All the rivets. Holy cow.

So many rivets. A lot of effort went into the video, too. I'm very, very impressed by the whole thing. I think it's my favorite of the Miyazaki films. I love that one. something about that castle that's the main that's the main really yeah

I'm a spirited away guy but I still do like this one a lot Spirit in the way is cool especially because it's got that weird ghost thing that eats furniture and then throws it up or whatever it does that's weird yeah

anyway I really nailed the why people love that movie Bill always a pleasure I hope you have a wonderful continued Christmas season I guess we'll talk to you one more time before Christmas

maybe two No, I think we will. No one. Oh, yeah, we will. I'm sorry, we will. 21st. Yeah, yeah, we still got. We got one more with Bill.

We got time. We got, we got Bill. Bill DeRan, everybody, Punishprops.com. Of course, carm, calm. Plus, you can follow them on Twitter at Chinbeard. Bill, have a great week and we'll see you next time. See you. Bye now.

All right. Well, that's, that's a thing we did. That is the thing we did. Yep. And we did it well. Yeah. If we did it well, we can't, we don't know. You'll have to tell us.

Yeah. But now Bobby's in, and he's in to win. Hold on. Here he is. Hi, Bobby. Oh, wait, I got to play your freaking deal. Hold on. Science.

There he is. Hey, Bobby Frankenberger, joining us as our science correspondent and the host of all about science, or all around science. Hey, Bobby. Yeah, run on over here, Bobby. Yeah, why don't you run here and be real sweaty and stuff when you get here? How was your, let's talk about that. How was your run?

the marathon. It was very sweaty. So it's in December, of course. And all leading up in the month or two leading up, it was getting colder than normally. It does in South Carolina. So I was feeling really good about that. And even just a week ago, it was nice and cold. And all my runs were really great and comfortable and cold and and uh and it's like it's like mother nature decided to save all the warmth and humidity just for that one day suddenly suddenly nice and warm and muggy it would there was like a fog warning the morning that we started it was so humid outside and and um but it cleared up about halfway through but yeah 26.2 miles is a long time a long distance my legs still hurt yeah that's a lot uh full marathon and you said on

your facebook post uh i noticed that you oh for some reason you got small there we go uh that you you uh you weren't sure you'd do another marathon but but you felt like a bunch of half marathons were maybe in your future so so this my takeaway from that was like all right he had the goal he worked up to the goal did all the prep got the goal and now he can he can be gladriol and recede into the west or whatever you can kind of just do your next you know do a little things and become the kind of runner you want to be not mr max runner all the time i think my takeaway from that was i love half marathons i'd done many times throughout my training so it's i've done those and those are fun um and and i can i could do that i think in the day since the marathon

and thinking back i think i could be convinced to do another full marathon, especially if, I think I could do another full marathon if you didn't tell me I was doing a full marathon. Brian, you know what I'm talking about. Like crickets, Brian. There's no crickets in your food. It'll be fine. It won't tell you until after. Yeah. No, I, in all seriousness, I do think I could do another, another full marathon. I think I would like to eventually. I just don't know when that's going to be. It's, it was really hard, though. So I would definitely have to train up for it again. You remind me of the women in my life, specifically Kim and my sister, I have sisters,

who all did this thing where it felt unique to childbirth, but maybe it's like a marathon. They had their baby, their first babies, and it was really hard, like, you know, especially if they went natural and didn't have any pain killers or whatever. Kim did this twice. and in the throes of labor and right after you're like okay I can't do that again I can't do that again right but then a little time pass and you're like all right gearing up for the next one let's go let's do this

and and maybe that's or kind of happens with runners Tina held to that she says no I'm not doing this again and we never did that again and that was the last time Brian had sex Brian you do the 150 yeah the NS 150 and every year I say yeah, after I finish, I'm like, all right, I think this might be my last year of doing this. And then, you know, spring rolls around. I'm like, no, I'll totally do it again.

And I always say that I don't do the full 150. I just ride to the next stop or the next, what do they call those, pit stop. Yeah. And then if I feel fine, I keep going. And that just has gotten me all the way through. You're after year, whenever we don't get taken off the course because of rain, whatever, you know, COVID, that sort of thing. And you probably had something similar, right? Or I don't know.

Do they have pit stops on a marathon? They probably don't on a marathon, do they? No, on a marathon, they do sort of, I mean, more or less they do. They call them water stations or water stops. Yeah, okay. And it's about every two miles or so, depending. And you actually stop and drink water as opposed to, like, when you're running and they just put, throw water in front of you and you grab it. Yeah, well, you can stop.

keep going. I usually kept going. A lot of people, a lot of people will walk through the water stations, like they just make that part of their plan. And that's what I did for the most part. There are two or so that I had to stop and sit down for because I hit a major, my time was about five hours and 20 minutes. I was going to be, it was a little bit less than that. I wanted to hit, I was hoping to hit around four and a half miles, or four and a half hours. But I hit huge wall at about 18 miles where I had to walk for most of the rest of it and that was because I probably didn't pace myself very well at the beginning and this is the first time I've done a marathon so there's a lot of learning that happened and and anyway so so for a couple of those water

stations I had to sit down I was having some cramping in my legs so I had to sit down on the side of the road and and let my legs recover for a couple seconds. or a minute or something like that and then keep going. But yeah, the water stations, they've got water and gatorade at them. It's just like you see on TV. You can either run past and grab it and throw it in your face or just throw the cup on the ground because you're in a hurry. That's the funny thing.

They have these designated what they call drop zones where you just are, you can throw whatever trash you have. People will like plan as part of their run where at the beginning they'll have like a coat on. This giant styrofoam cardboard box that I get with my big screen TV. I know how we're going to get rid of it. Yeah. Right.

People discard their clothing at these drop zones, but it's, I don't know. As like a conscientious person, it feels really weird to like run by and have like a paper cup and just like throw it on the ground. Totally. Yeah. Yeah. No matter what, no matter what the context, that just feels weird. But I guess there are people going to clean it up.

Totally. Does there, so here's what I picture, and you can, you can confirm or deny this. but I picture, if you run past, okay, you're the runner, and there's a signal that you know to give if you want it, and that signal is, if I run past the station, the drop zone, and I pick up my shirt, that means I want somebody to run over with a finger full of a lube or whatever and rub my nipple. Vaseline, yeah, Vaseline your nipples, and then run away, and then you put your shirt. Now you're good for the next, you know, stretch for having your nips.

I knew I knew nipples would come up somehow in all that. Oh, they always come up. I don't know about that. Nipples always come up. Well, there's definitely, I mean, you got to consider your nipple care during a run. Yeah, take good self-nipple care is what I'm saying. Yeah, I used that body glide stuff I've talked about. I just rub deodorant sticks on my nipples, basically.

Oh, that's fantastic visual. I'm glad you gave us that. Yeah. I mean, it's exactly what you're picturing. That's what it looked like. Wonderful. Hey, so in the midst of all of that, did any amazing science ideas come to your head or, you know, how do you want to do today? What's on your mind?

I figured we would end up talking about the marathon a little bit, and I was too tired to prepare much science news. So I did come up with some, I came up with a list of fun winter science facts that we can pick from if you want. Oh, fun. Yeah, I like this. Let's do it. It's cold now. I'm freezing. I don't know how fun they really are, but winter science facts.

Do you guys get blizzards much where you are? Sometimes. We do, or I do, yeah. Sometimes. It's been a while, I have to say. We've had a weird couple of winters where we don't have near the snow we are used to getting, but there are some winters on record here that are super-plizarding. There's a dairy queen maybe three miles away from me.

Oh, you took my joke. Oh, nicely done. Nicely done, Brian. I do that with Randy on Film Sack. time we had we have to make a dairy queen joke at least one of us does um the uh blizzards uh one piece of i was looking up some in looking for the science facts i did find out there's a strict way that they define blizzards and it's a visibility reduced to a quarter of a mile yeah uh winds of 35 miles per hour or more yeah and it has to last at least three hours i didn't know

that that all that oh those are your three caveats well i've definitely been one of those then we were we had a drive home from Park City once and the entire thing was in those conditions it was bad like real bad and it was in a Honda Freakin Civic I think which is like you know a fine car but conditions as they were

was not the best thing to have in the middle of a blizzard but it's been a while and I'm kind of grateful I mean on the other hand it's also signals some weird climate change here where we're not getting the snow shed or the watershed we're used to so that's kind of bad right but I remember the last really big

Kim was out in it visiting her sister. I was working home that day. It was before, I guess this was before I jumped out. So it's been like 0-708. And, but for some reason I was home that day, thank goodness, because my kids were little. And Kim got out there and was doing some with her sister. And we got hit with this like sudden blizzard level storm. And she got, tried to come home in it and ended up having to pull over and stay inside of a school or something.

It was crazy. So the whole, that whole night. It just got hosed, and everybody got stuck, and it was bad. So, yes, to answer your question, Brian and I both experienced some blizzards. I lived in northern Minnesota for a year, and we had several. I was in, like, seventh grade, though, so my memories are very fun of blizzards. Yeah, I'll bet, because when it happens in your kid, this is not a big, it's great. Yeah, it's snow day from school.

Yeah, there were a lot of them. Did you guys get snow days? Did you know that thunderstorms don't normally happen in winter? No, I didn't know that. Yeah. It's very rare. Thunder only happens when it's raining. Yeah, yeah.

I didn't know that that song was scientifically vetted, that it was true. There is a phenomenon called Thunder Snow, which is an amazing name. Yeah, we get that, which is really weird. It's my ACDC cover band. I used to be in Thunder Snow. Thunder snow, yeah. But the reason thunderstorms don't happen in the winter usually is because you actually have to have, to have warm

moist air that causes thunderstorms. The warm moist air has to go up over the cool air. So in the winter time you don't have a lot of warm moist air and you don't get the lightning and thunder

phenomenon even when it does snow, even though there's clouds and stuff like that, because the lightning is caused by this circulation of warm moist air dropping down ice particles. and hail dropping through the clouds, melting, getting shot back up. And like the friction and movement between the clouds causes the bottom of the clouds to be negatively charged,

which then forces the ground to kind of change to a positive charge, which then causes night. But that doesn't happen when there's no warm air in the mix. So I thought that was pretty interesting. So we have an exception to that rule where we do get thunder sometimes in the winter and during those storms. but it's because of our inversion in the valley. We basically live in a bull here a big prehistoric

lake bed which is essentially a bull with mountains on all sides and as a result in the winter sometimes we get this horrible inversion where the warm air is out on top and the cold air gets trapped and then what else gets trapped

is all of the freaking smog and car exhaust and all the other bullshit we pump out and it's horrible. I mean, like, you know, air quality and, like, we were as bad as the worst town in India or something for, like, two days. And then it lifts. Kind of like fires during the fire season in California.

It's just, like, really, really bad. But I've seen a couple of times during those conditions and it's snowing, you'll hear just distant thunder. It's rare, though. So, like you say, it's not going to be your typical thing happening. Yeah, that's, um, Atmospheric phenomenon are so complicated and really fascinating. Yeah.

Katie Davis says, I love the inversion. Nothing like chewing on your own air. He lives here. He knows. He knows what's up. So snow, did you know that snow is 90% air? No. Oh, really?

Well, I guess that makes sense. Like, when you can compact it down so far. Yeah. Two and a half cups of water roughly could make a gallon. of snow. Oh, my gosh. That's a lot of stubs. And vice versa, I guess.

A gallon of snow could melt down to two and a half cups of water. That's how math works. It's all done. You did the reverse there. It was pretty good. It's a lot easier to do it that way than make snow out of two and a half cups of water. Yeah, I don't know why I said it the other way. So what do you make of, how do they make fake snow?

Like when a ski resort's like low on snow that year and they make a, they have snow machines? How's that even done? You can make them yourself if it's cold enough if you have an air compressor and a water hose. Really? I don't know how you make them. You're just basically making a mist in freezing conditions. That's how you make it. You can, yeah, there are plans online you can do, you can get to do it.

I knew someone around here who made one because it gets to freezing temperatures in the wintertime sometimes, but hardly ever at the same time that it rains. So they made themselves a machine. with an air compressor and a water hose. And, yeah, like you said, Brian, basically just putting them together in such a way that when you turn it on it, it mists the water and it freezes the air. Yeah, right.

Okay. So it's like the, it's the cubic zirconian of snow, right? Right. And you just don't get, I would have, oh, there's an interesting question. Do you still get, you don't get snowflake patterns. You don't get ice crystals like, like you do with naturally occurring snowflakes.

Do you? Or does the water, freezing when it's in air it probably makes some kind of a snowflake shape but you're not I doubt I bet you're not going to get them as big as natural snow

because that floats around in the atmosphere a bunch and collects more moisture yeah right okay because it can take two it can take like up to two hours for a snowflake see how we segued into one of my other uh oh nicely done it takes a snowflake up to two hours to fall down to the earth is that true

oh yeah that's crazy two hours wait a minute holy shit that's a lot I don't know why that's so surprising to me I mean I guess it's going to be there's variables but there's some sort of average there right so that's crazy

I mean it's it's just it's it's very light and it just keeps like going there's a lot of moving air up there pushing things around yeah hail I mean boy some of the because hail just keeps getting more and more coats of moisture until it's heavier than the wind

that keeps sending it back up until it finally dropped. So I'd love to know how long some hail stays. So I could fire up, I don't know, two episodes of Succession in a row and watch those. And by the time I'm done, that one that just left will be here. I like that that's where you go. It's not like, oh, I could watch the entirety of the movie Jack Frost in the time it takes for a snowflake to wear. Well, I've been thinking about Succession because I'm behind and I want to catch up because I'm hearing good things about this new season. Snow falls on cedars. Yeah. That's crazy.

And that is, okay, that was a fact. I didn't know. Give me another one. Give me another big one. What else you got? I'll leave some more on us. Here's a water and ice fact. Did you know that water freezes, a body of water freezes from the top down?

I mean, if you thought about it, you probably knew that, right? That makes sense. It freezes from the top. It's exposed, right? How the air is exposed. It probably depends on how, I would think how deep, I would think, maybe it wouldn't matter because deep depth doesn't matter. because there's lots of frozen earth and parts of the world where deep down it's super cold

which should freeze water but I guess you're right the most immediate access it has to the elements or the top so that makes sense right so and the reason it is is because and water is very unique in this regard because other substances that freeze are always more dense than their liquid counterparts but water is very unique in that when it when it freezes and turns into ice, frozen water is less dense than liquid water. And so that's why ice floats, but that's very unusual. And the most dense water gets is around 4 degrees Celsius. So what happens is a body of water, which is exposed to the very cold air, the top of it starts, it cools the top. And then as the stuff at the top gets to 4 degrees Celsius, it all sinks to the bottom. So another interesting

thing is that before a body of water can freeze, and this is typically, I'm sure there are exceptions to this, but before a body of water can freeze, pretty much the entire thing has to get to 4 degrees Celsius before it will start, and then it'll start freezing. So like lakes are a good example of this. Yeah, yeah, like ponds and mountains and everything. And because of that, that's why, you know, if it did it the other way around, fish would not be able to live through the winter, you know, because it would freeze from the bottom.

up and there would be no place for the fish to go. Do you think there's a ton of people in Arizona that have no idea what the hell we're talking about today? What is the snow and ice they keep talking about? Are they talking about cocaine and diamonds? Because we have those here. I know what those are, they'll say. Says them. All right, give us another

one. Give us a triumvirate of facts. What's a third one? Yeah, all things are better in trees. Science. Let's see. Geese fly south for the winter, right? Yeah, yeah. But did you know that the, so they fly in a V formation, and apparently they fly in that formation,

and that's the most efficient flight formation for them to be in because of the way the wind breaks across their body. So that's... Really? I hesitate to say that's why geese are doing it, because they're not, like, making decisions about... I think the wind just puts them in that spot. Yeah.

They're not saying. They're trying to go somewhere else. Nobody's asking the geese, and even if you could, they can't tell us. But it seems like there's probably some method to their madness, right? Some evolutionary. They play in a V formation because it's the dickish thing to do. Because geese are dicks. They are dicks.

They tried. The geese who evolved to fly in like a T formation didn't get as far and died. I do know that the lead goose changes constantly. throughout their flight. Like, they swap out who's... I didn't know that. Who's leading the V. That's funny.

But Chiron points out that Flagstaff, Arizona's the snow capital of the country. I know. I know that Flagstaff's... Yeah, Flagstaff's weird. They're up high. There's an elevation thing there. I'm talking, like, Phoenix and stuff. Phoenix is, it's like 85 degrees today.

So they think that's winter. I guess Arizona's big. Yeah, it's a big state. It's a big state full of wonderful human beings and a few weirdos. It's like my sister used to live in northern Texas. And she said it, you know, would snow every year. And I was like, Texas? Texas.

How is that possible? How can you do that? Yeah, no, there's parts of... Isn't it desert? Even, yeah, there are parts of Arizona, northern Arizona that are, they're just like here. They just get what they get. All right. I like that fact a lot because geese are dicks and they should all fall out of the sky and be gone.

Fact. Peace or dicks. Yeah, what if geese all died? What actual impact would it have? Really? Think about it. Oh, I would have no paté. And I would be bummed about it.

My occasional French delicacy paté. Oh, it's too bad. Isn't that the one where they torture the geese or something? Yeah. Yeah, that's what makes it delicious. And that's what makes me enjoy it even more. Oh, because of those dick geese. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Exactly. You're right. Do you have one where the goose was extra tortured for the paté? Ah, I'll take that one, please. Yeah, somebody the other day, one of my neighbors says he thought he saw Mendoza back at the lake. But I got to think, since that was like a 24. team deal. I gotta think that geese is either dead or, they don't live that long.

I don't think geese are like, they don't live for 20 years, do they? I have no idea. I don't claim to know anything about geese other than their flying formation efficiency. Yeah, like a big vagina in the sky. That's what they do. All right. I think foie gras and pete is the same thing, isn't it? I thought those two that were the same thing.

Fwagra is, I think, from ducks. Oh, right, right. Is that tortured ducks then? Is that the deal? Yeah. Yeah, can I get the paté or the foie gras from the duck that's slow. I slowly walked across the street in front of my car and stared at me the whole time. You want specific revenge. Yeah, you want specific revenge against that one duck.

I like it. Speaking of running, when I'm running and there are geese, they don't give a F. Like, they will not move. They're like, you're running here? Okay, you can go around us. Yeah, they hate your guts. There's nothing a geese won't do. A geese, a goose won't do to make your life worse than it was before you saw him.

That's just the rule. Well, Bobby, this has been enlightening. I feel filled of new ideas, facts, and concepts around the scientific use of snow that I didn't expect to get today. And some bonus stuff about running real hard. So why don't you tell folks where more of this sort of thing can be found on your podcast and how they can get it? My podcast, where we talk about science every week and science news and just whatever we're thinking about and interested in in science is called all around science. Uh, that's, we, uh, just this past yesterday, an episode released where we talked, it's a Christmas themed feature on our episode where we talked about virgin birth. Oh.

Oh. And, uh, the science about, did you know that there are creatures in the world that do have virgin birth? No. They reproduce asexually? It's not exactly the same as as a sexual reproduction. Oh, really? Okay. Oh, well, I got to learn. I want to learn what this is. We're literally talking about an egg, which is.

getting fertilized. The female gammy, an egg, being growing into a new offspring without needing fertilization. Oh, wow. Okay. All right, I'm in. I want to listen. And we talk about whether or not. Does it get dirty, though?

It's real dirty, and it's called the Jesus egg. Tune in. Find out now. You'll have to listen to find out. But we do talk about, as the final teaser, we do talk about whether or not humans can give, can give birth using what's called, the scientific term is parthenogenesis.

Can humans have virgin births? So you'll have to listen to find out I'll give you a little teaser. The answer's no. Oh. Damn it. That's more of a tease. That's less of a tease than just a flat-out answer, Bobby.

There's an interesting reason why humans can't give birth. using with parthenogenesis and so you'll have to find out exactly what that is all right and what kinds of creatures do it all the time i was new that word parthenogenesis from a song called nemesis by shriek back because i think they couldn't come up with enough words to rhyme with nemesis so they just use parthenogenesis oh because that's the only one there may really be the one yeah yeah yeah that makes sense uh well there you all around science that's what you want to

go listen yeah go check it out bobby have a great week and don't run too hard so we see you all right by now all right there goes bobby Hey, hey, listeners. Someone out there knows that song and they'll be like, oh, yeah, right. Yeah, somebody knows it. Right in. Guacamore. I think Guwachmar just said it.

Oh, he did. Oh, yeah, there you go. There is a song. Quick email before we leave from Keaton. Yeah. Yeah. He says, I'm Batman. Just kidding.

He says, hey, gang, everyone knows Scott's hatred for George Harrison's. I've got my mind set on you. I was always very neutral about the song myself, but when I heard the James Ray original, I found myself really enjoying it. My question is, does Scott hate the song regardless or just the George Harrison version? Love the show, Keaton. I am of the opinion that the George Harrison version ruined the song.

Really? That was okay when James Ray sang it, but the George Harrison version is so repetitive and so annoying to me that it makes it hard for me to hear any version because all I can think of is the George Harrison version. So there's your answer. You know what? I totally get that. because I hate the original version of simply having a wonderful Christmas time. But there are covers out there

that's like, oh, I kind of like this. So it is separate from the song. Yeah, it can happen. Yep, totally is. That, my favorite theory... It's the version, not the song. My favorite theory on that song, what was... Did I read this on Facebook or something? It's not even think it is even that new, but somebody said

it's basically... The song is about somebody interrupting Paul McCartney and his friends doing witchcraft. And here, I'll hear, I'll let me get this up so we got to go simply wait simple it's such a long ass title simply having a wonderful

and it's just about all the lyrics to the song time yeah so I got to find the lyrics here here we go okay so um I've got to find the right one yeah here it is so the lyrics go they say it's like they're doing witchcraft and then they get interrupted here's

where the part where they're doing witchcraft the mood is right the spirit's up we're here tonight and that's enough and then someone walks in and goes what are you guys doing simply having a wonderful christmas time i like that theory a lot yeah i like that too that's great that's pretty good it's pretty good uh all right that's it for today's program i'd like to point your squinties to Patreon.com slash TMS.

I don't think there's anything else going on that I need to mention today. Um, no. I don't think so. Yeah, we're good. Do you have anything? You have anything today? You want to? Hammond and I were recording a, uh, a soundography, but that won't get posted for a couple weeks until he does some editing on it. Um, so, yeah, no. Uh, you want to know who we listen to? Alice in Chains. Ooh. Listen to the entire catalog of Alice in Chains. Did you come? Allison and the Chains.

Allison and the Chains, snuff and roosters since 1991. Very exciting. I love that band, like unapolourable. I do too. I, you know, I knew songs like Wood and Rooster and, um, uh, other hits. Other their mainstreet songs. And I never listened to their entire catalog. I have the album with three-legged dog on it, which I think is, isn't that just called Allison Change? That's their self-titled. I think so. Yeah. The third album or something. And then I have the jar flies EP. But I'd never listened to the entire, uh, catalog before. And I got to say, good stuff. It is. I don't, I don't think I've heard anything post lane staley like after he passed away i don't think there are only two albums post lane stey were there the dinosaurs yeah and they were famous for they got a guy who sounded just like him

and that was supposed to help or hurt or something i don't know yeah sometimes that helps sometimes it hurts hey it helped journey yeah it did help did it though did anyone care about journey after that or other than well i mean people see them in concert but i don't know if i don't know if journey's released anything with san pinata yeah i don't know about that but yeah like like uh alison Shane's one of the great early grunge era bands. I love them. So that's an episode I think I'll be listening to because I want to hear what you guys say.

Yeah. Excellent stuff. Brian, let's get out of here. We need to have a song, though. Do you have one? I have one. Oh, thank goodness. Going out to Troy,

aka Yavang in chat. Oh, nice. Greetings Scott, Brian, and fellow Tad Pulligan's. December 15th is my birthday. Oh, hold on. Pause. Brian paused. Wait, I got to play the whole thing.

Happy birthday to you. And a happy new year. There you go. I love it. It's tomorrow, obviously. It also means that we're only two days away from the season two premiere of The Witcher. I have three birthday wishes. I hope everyone has a safe and enjoys holiday season.

I hope the NIF Guardians have less weird-looking armor this season. And I would like to request a song on TMS. Can you play the Dan Vass cover of a Witcher song? Thank you, friends. P.S. Instead of a sound clip, can I get a happy birthday in the song? song intro done by Tina Brin impersonation. Oh, hilarious.

Well, you're getting the clip, and Tina would say, Troy, I hope you have a very happy birthday. I'm going to go isolate that and use it. That's amazing. That's really good. All right, so this is toss a coin to your witcher, of course. This is performed by Dan Vask, V-A-S-C. It's the first four letters of vasectomy in case you're wondering.

This is a brand new single he released last year. The metal version of Toss a coin to your witcher. Fantastic. All right. We'll be back tomorrow. We got recommendals and you're usually Wednesday nonsense. So please come back then and we'll see you all then. When a humble bar.

Grace to ride at home with garote of Rivier, along came this song. From when they went forth. A silver-toned devil His army of hell His hostly day Revel They came after me

With mass of all to see Broke down my loon And they kicked in my tea Wound at the horse Men start tenderly And so cried a witcher He can't be bleat toss a coin to your wicker over the empty over the

of empty oh toss a coin to your wicker over the of empty at the edge of the world fight the mighty hawk that matches and He brings you and brings you to the moon

He thrust every elf Far back on the shelf Lie up on the mountain From once he came Yeah He wiped out your past He got kicked his chance He's a friend of humanity

So give him the rat That's my epic tale A champion breathing Defeated a villain Now for him from hell Toss a coin to your witcher Oh valley of plenty Oh valley of plenty

Oh oh Toss a coin to your witcher A friend of humanity Just according to your winter Ovali a plenty Ovali a plenty Yeah Just according to your winter

A friend of humanity Wow Just according to your witcher All right a plenty Allie a plenty Oh Just according to your winter A friend of humanity
