Dental floss and craps. In Soviet Russia, the dressing undresses you. All ninjas are handsome. It's a purple-nerple zirple.

Didja hurts these nuts. See, Anel Street. In France, they call it dressing royale. What's this here, sauce? More macaque talk. Contemporary liberal hairdo. Why does it smell like Helena Bonham Carter? A man-shaped mannequin with Bill.

A little science with Bobby and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. Who is the thief? The guy that's going to walk in your door, wearing a bandana around his eyes, or maybe the guy with a real villain mustache. How about a guy like me with a nice suit on and a polite smile, smoking a pipe? Eat shit and die, Ricky. Each shit and live, Bill. You taste like a burger.

I don't like you anymore. This is the morning stream. Morning stream. Morning, everybody. Welcome back to the morning stream. It is Tuesday, January 25th, 2020. I am Scott. He is Brian.

Hi, Brian. Hi, Scott. How are you? You know, I'm a lot. I'm all right. I actually slept, but just dreamt weird things. Just weird. You were in it, but I don't remember how. You were in a dream again. Some Brian thing happening. And I have no memory of it now. I don't know what it is. I think I actually prefer that you don't remember. Like it's, you know, better than me trapezing naked above your virgin Pinacolada or whatever it was. It's like, or who is it? It was Arnold Palmer and Laura Palmer mash up. Yeah, whatever the hell that happened there. But yeah, in this particular case, it was like, you were very prominent whatever I dreamt last night. The second I woke up, just poof, gone, other than I know you were there.

It was like, it's like I witnessed a crime and then forgot all the details. It was weird. Wow. I don't like it. Not that you're, not that it was criminal. You know what I mean. Like, I don't want to make this end of something. I know.

I know. I'm performing illegal acts in my dream. Anyway, so good morning, everybody. we hope you're well. It's a Tuesday. I hope you're excited for what TMS is on Tuesdays, which involves all sorts of stuff. We get a little science, a little making stuff. Got some news. We got some stuff up top here. In fact, I have a thing that I'm not sure is true, but I wanted to play with you and not think too much about it until I got here because I didn't want to, I didn't want to spoil it for myself. I heard somebody claim something. I'm going to play a clip,

all right? So you're going to hear this. And this is the claim. And then you and I are going to try to suss out whether this is true or not. All right, so here you go. This is what I heard this on a video just yesterday. There is no English word that starts with a D and ends with a Z. All right. Now, the, the clip was a funny one because at the end, somebody said D's nuts, but. I was just about to say, what about D's?

Yeah. Those don't, those don't count. It has to be actual words. So do you, do you, can you think of a word that starts with a D and ends with a Z? No, I can't It's hard to think of any word that ends with a Z, right? Because, you know, Z ends words when you're talking about pop culture and branding that's like crazy raisins or things like that. Sure.

Or people's names, like someone put Deas, so Cameron Diaz, but that isn't... Right, exactly. Pronouns and stuff, or not pronouns, but proper names. that sort of thing but um chat room says dits yeah a lot of foreign words yeah dits dits is one oh dits is it's in here it's not it's it's in here is that an english word hold on dictionary dot com says ditsy slaying a scatterbrained stupid or simple-minded person does slang count yeah but i don't think it's i think ditsy is a real uh all right is it in, uh, let's see if this is in Webster's.

Let's see. D-I-T-Z-Y. Yeah, D-T-C-Y. Yeah, that's an adjective. DITC-C-U-T-C-W-T-E. Uh, fight. And I think DITC, I think DITS is really just a, um, a slang shortening of DITC. Yeah.

Like basically turning it into a, um, to a noun. So it doesn't count. It is, it is in Merriam-Webster, though. Ditz is? Well, it's in all of them, but they, but they, they label it as, slang, though, right? Not in this one. DITS.

Noun. Okay, maybe we did it then. Maybe that's it. I think we did it. Oh my gosh, Ditts. A.V. Tech John, you win. You win, dude. I just put a link in our show notes.

Click that. If you're not seeing anything, I'm not seeing. I think it's, I think maybe we found it. Yeah, we did. According to Miriam Webster, let's see how they say it. Dits.

Dats. Dats. Miriam. That Miriam Webster, she's funny. Miriam's always. Oh, their word of the day is quip. Listen to this. Quip.

Ah, quip. Clip. Yeah, this, according to this, it's a noun. And if Miriam Webster, I mean, English Oxford or somebody else, I don't know, can confirm this. I think we did it. It's dits. I think so, too, yeah. All right.

Yeah, there are only a few four-letter words that end with the Z. There's only, Ditz is listed. as a letter or a word that ends with Z but all of them are like foreign oh there's a lot of science gigahertz megahertz killerhertz those all end with Z

yeah but is there a D in front of that no like Diga Hertz Die Dita Hertz or anything like that yeah but then a lot of Jewish things blints yeah schmaltz yeah plenty of Z words with gibbets with the ending I think this guy just thought

no D's, but I think we proved him wrong. The double Z's common, right? Like the buzz, fuzz. Yeah, two Z's. Um, fizz. But even then, what would be a D I, what would be a D and then two Z's? Diz. Diz. Diz. Like, that guy's so Diz.

He's so Diz. Son. Y'all going to Diz World. Sorry, what do we look at the Decker Hertz? Deckerhertz. Is that a thing? Deckerhertz? A lot of people saying Deckerhertz. Is that a real thing? It doesn't sound right.

It doesn't sound right to me. Decc would be, what, 10? 10 hertz. Is that what that is? 10 hurts. Yeah, I found penis. Penis is in here. Penis.

Yeah. Why does that person say it that way? Penis. Penis. All right, well, there you go. So if anyone ever asks you or challenges you with, find me a D word that ends in the Z, you can tell them Dits. Can just say Dits. Yeah, and you'll be correct.

Dits. Nicely done. also i thought it'd be fun to share some interesting trivia with brian oh i like this okay interesting trivia uh-huh this is all about new orleans because you're going to new orleans a place i've been before some of this i didn't know my wife lived about 30 minutes i've been before too you know oh i thought this is your first time there i didn't know that no no tina's first time but uh oh no no we had um that was common for trade shows at the company the sales software company I went to, which means a lot of drunken evenings on Bourbon Street

with customers and clients. Business people, yeah. My favorite, here's one real quick, my favorite little story from New Orleans. Yeah, go. Oh, my God, well, there's a couple. I wonder if I can tell that one. All right, I will tell that one. There's a couple of these I will tell.

Okay. So they'll make it really quick. So, I won't say who, but a couple salespeople that I'm friends with that I still know and talk to, one of them actually even listens to this show. Whenever we would do traveling for trade shows and things like that, those two would always stay in a room together. Okay. And one night after a really late night on Bourbon Street, some drinking probably involved some hurricanes. We came back to our hotel rooms. he went into his and I went into mine and he was he was going into the room that he shared with

another salesperson with his sales manager to be to clarify oh geez all right he uh apparently um in his drunkenness thought he was climbing into bed with his wife oh no those aren't pillows and even though there were two beds in the room he started he went over to the sales manager's bed and was had his thumbs in his in the waistband of his boxers about to pull them down and the sales manager heard him looked over like had his back to him looked behind him and said can i help you don't say yes please don't say yes and woke him up and uh oh sorry sorry sorry getting in his bed oh my gosh dude yeah that's one you'll remember the next day at the old office get together,

the breakfast, coffee breakfast. Same trip, I was out on Bourbon Street with our CEO. Yeah. And again, both of us holding plastic cups with hurricanes in them that you get like little slurpy hurricanes that you just get right there on the street

and walk around with no open carry issues in New Orleans. And we bump into a client that we were trying to get. And the CEO knew this. And CEO was friends with him or knew him and said, oh, man, we really knew the sale.

Client comes up and the client is sober and says, oh, hey, good to see out here. My CEO goes into, let's sell mode, but he's already had some to drink. So he's in like, all right, let's, I want to sell. I want to get this client. So he takes his, he takes his drink and stealthily puts it, oh, good, it's good that I'm wearing a pocketed button up shirt today because, so the CEO is wearing a button up shirt. He takes his plastic cup with his hurricane in it and just drops it. into a shirt pocket it's a huge cup i mean it's like did it fit it's like this sort of thing where

oh wow quite fit and it's yeah like a huge cup kind of so i that seems dangerous like it's kind of flip out very dangerous it didn't fall out or anything but it just was really kind of hard to take him seriously with that that huge cup sticking out of the front of his shirt pocket like you know like oh you know what let me put away the the uh party and let's talk business Yeah, no kidding. Well, it sounds like your times in New Orleans are a lot more fun than mine. Mine were mostly crackheads and trying to keep kids on the right streets. Yeah, see, that's the tough thing.

I can't imagine taking kids to New Orleans. And it was always that way because when we go down to visit Kim's family, all her siblings were younger then. And so they were all, we had a big throng of us. Everything was fine in the daytime on that end of town. But the minute you crossed one street too many or something, you were like, oh, man. And we always felt in charge because we were like the new married couple and these kids, these kids need, you know, her parents wouldn't go with us. They were like, ah, we hate New Orleans, so they wouldn't go. I'm hoping that between J. Funktastic and B4 Tank Girl and I think Burn and Nate reached out to me and said, yeah, Burnin Nate is, oh, not Burnin' Nate.

Somebody else reached out to me on Discord and said that they're Nalans, Nalyn's local as well. hopefully they're going to keep me keep Tina and I in the places that we don't get killed. It's a good idea. Yeah, they probably know. Should be just fine. They know all about where to keep you you suckers. So here's... Exactly. So here's... Let's get trivia. Now, do you know, you know what they like

to be called there? If you're a local there, what do you call them? Do you know that? I have it here. Oh. Let's see if you know how it is. You know, like, where are Utahans? You guys are Colorado. What do they like to be called? What is it? Nolens or something like that? They like to be called New Orleanians. New Orleanians. Okay.

That's what it says here. And I, you know, this according to some website I've never used before. It feels so weird. It's like it's like pronouncing the foreign name of a country in that foreign tongue, like that city in Northern Australia, Cain, which we'd all call Khan or Cannes or Cairns or something like that. Or Cairns. I think it's. C-A-I-R-N-S. But are we supposed to pronounce it, Nallens?

Even though that sounds like it's making fun of an accent. No, we're going to N'Alands. I think people maybe live there and have the accent do it. I can't do it because it sounds like I'm making fun of it, so I just say New Orleans. And I think that's perfectly suitable. It's people who say New Orleans. New Orleans, yeah, exactly. That we need to kick out of all parties.

They need to leave those people. All right, check this out. The total land size of New Orleans is 350.2 square miles. That's for those using space points on the other side of the. place. It's 901 square kilometers. That's smaller than I thought it would be.

So that's news to me. 350 miles is not that much. It's not that much, but I mean, that's, that's the MSA, the Metropolitan Statistical Area. So that doesn't, you know, that doesn't include what they'd consider the

New Orleans suburbs and things like that. Yeah. Yeah. It just seems, I don't know, it just seems small to me. Yeah. Did you know the game of poker originated in the city of Norlands? Oh, I did not. Really? Yeah, as did the game of craps.

It was named craps due to its original name of crepod, which is the French word for frog. I'm sure I'm pronouncing it wrong. This links back to... It's just frog. This links back to the nickname Many Give the French Frog Eaters. So there's that. Oh, really? So that's a thing they don't like to be called frog eaters.

They don't like to be... I don't think they do. Do they? As far as I know, French eaters. far as I know, no. They do like fries. Yeah. So I always thought those were both French, that poker and craps, I mean, French,

as opposed to French Creole, I always thought that they were both originated in France. Roulette originated in France. That makes sense. Rulet, very French word. Ocarot, I think. I think what happened is the French came here. Cleo's just yelling wrong, but we'll find out why in a second. The French came here, and they completely, like, just had a party.

They just partied hardy down there and made up. this game and bam there it is now i haven't i have not done any kind of like you know verification vetting the article yeah no here on tms accuracy is secondary to we're just all having a party here all right uh this original streets with the city's french quarter are all named after french royalty and nobility did you know that no didn't know that either yeah so like uh i don't know what any of these are but like like st charles i believe and uh it's probably a louis street or something i forget yeah um uh let me see here that's interesting so yeah you mean there was a there was uh somebody named 16th avenue yeah this uh probably royalty royalty named 16th avenue

there was there uh maybe there was somebody named something the 16th that probably just the 16th uh anyway so wilkins yeah chart oh uh chart uh chart because i know it's like it's c h a r t r e s and i don't think you pronounce chartra street or doffin burgundy those are probably all nobles or something yeah loyal oh interesting royal street well oh yeah that one that one's just straight up it ran out on that one yeah where's noble street i'm sure that's in there uh let's see canal street was once the why whitest street in the world not just the country oh it's pronounced canal okay i thought it was pronounced canal all right good good to know it's not anal with a seat glad it did not pronounce that one incorrectly when I was there. Yeah, anal street. Canel Street. Canel Street. Cainal Street. See Anel Street.

You probably can at certain times of the day. So Canal Street is one of the wide, once the widest street in the world, mainly due to the fact that, obviously, by its name, it was originally meant to be a location for a canal. So they dug it for a canal, kept it as a street. It's now one of the widest, is still one of the widest streets of the world. Interesting. Yeah, so that's cool. How about this one? The Louisiana State Museum, which is in New Orleans. is home to the death mask of Napoleon Bonaparte. Ooh, the death mask. Yeah, you got to go see that.

So that's what? When he's lying in state or something, they put the mask over him, and then when he's buried, they take it off and put it in a museum. Is that how that works? I think, no, death masks are, it's a plaster mold of your face. Oh, okay. All right. So they do that when, I don't know how common it was.

I know in the 1800s it was common, but you'll wear like a death. So if you want to find somebody historic, like, I think Abraham Lincoln, for example. Let's see. Abe Lincoln, death mask. That's funny. I've never, this is, yeah, I've never heard of these. Why have I never heard of these?

They straight up, they straight up freak me out, these things. There's the Lincoln thing. Huh. It's weird, right? I've heard of Death Eater masks. Those are different, right? Very different. Okay.

Yeah. Historically accurate yet different. Why does this one smell like Helen a bottom car? She's probably a lovely, she has a lovely smell. I bet she does. Yeah, that she, uh, she smells like lavender. Yeah, she smells, she smells of anti-aging is what she smells like. She smells like incense and lavender, I'm sure.

She doesn't age that, that woman. All right, here's a couple more. Oh, okay. No, the Napoleon one is crazy. Oh, I haven't seen, let me look at it. I'm going to give you, I'm going to put a link in the, uh, here we go. Let's see, copy image. I'm going to put it in our Discord and you can look at it there.

Oh. It looks like, uh... Weird. Yeah. Weird. Weird. It doesn't look like any of the, Napoleon actors that we've been given our entire life.

The dude from Bill and Ted's Excellent Venture did not look like this. He's very smooth and convincing. Look at it. He's like, exactly, yes. Okay. Kind of a handsome, uh, handsome face. Why does Napoleon look like the lead singer of Midnight Oil? Right, right.

I wish we kind of did these for all of us now. You know, I want a death mask. Someone do me one when I die. I don't have a problem with it. Sure. Do me one when I'm alive. I'd rather just have a light, a bust one of those. called life bust or life you want a life bust okay i do i really do actually okay i'm fine with

that hey when does i want to be able to like uh you know use it for modeling 3d print board pieces to stick on my face or something i don't know how old was he when he died he was awfully young looking in that math so i just want to see how old he is let's see he lived from 1669 to 1821 help me with the math uh uh napoleon boner part I can't find his death Oh, here we go He was only 51 Brian Oh, where'd Brian go?

I didn't notice I didn't notice Brian disappeared Sorry, I was getting my death mask I found it Oh, you found it oh, there it is Oh yeah, yeah Put that in the museum

Here's my death mask You guys at home who can't see it Brian's Ibit face I have one of the Ibid bomb Full-size ibit bomb masks that uh oh this even funnier like if i just do this the whole show yeah oh yeah okay hi how you do that i could i could fake that but it's better if you had a physical one that's awesome it's way better yeah yeah cleo b4 tank girl had these printed up and held them up during uh tms

one year very nice uh check this out the city motto of new orleans oh uh translates it's in french Are you going to finish that? Yeah. In French, it's a French phrase, but I'm not going to say the French phrase, I can't do it, right? No, I meant, I meant is the motto of New Orleans, are you going to finish that? Oh, oh, you mean, that's the motto. Got it. Sorry.

That's how much sleep I had. All right. It's let the good times roll. Oh, of course it is. Wow. Yeah, yeah. In 2017, over 17 million visitors came to New Orleans. Oh, wow.

Contributed $8 billion to the local economy. Was the Super Bowl held there? I'm sorry, was the big game held there that year? I don't think so, but I don't see anything here. Okay, if you live there, you often refer to it as NOLA if you're local. Yeah. I didn't know that. That's cool.

New Orleans, Louisiana, N-O-L-A. Yeah, it's the Big Easy, and do you know why it's the Big Easy? Because it's big and easy, but also... I was going to say, when I'm there, it's definitely going to be the Big Easy. They named it that because the big apple name, they wanted something that kind of countered New York's nickname at the time. Really? Yeah. And Big Easy was... Yeah, the Big Easy. The Big Apple's like, ah, the place you go to get it done. You're going to make her life in New York. Let's go to New York. Anybody can make it here kind of thing. And then New Orleans, you're like, nah, just come down here and party and relax. Make it easy. I got you. Okay. I was thinking it's like comparing apples to Easies.

Yeah. Yeah. Don't ever compare an apple to an easy. the world's first movie theater was in New Orleans the vitus scope hall it was called so that's kind of cool and now my favorite one to finish us out dental floss was invented in New Orleans really okay dental floss and craps

yeah interesting dentist Levi Speer Parmley invented the dental floss so well done there's a bunch of spooky stuff too but it's all bull crap so I'm not going to read those yeah we're going to we're going to Muriel's, which apparently is a haunted

restaurant. Hunted by high prices. I get it. That's good. But really seriously, he's supposed to be haunted. What's a haunted by? Like, somebody's significant? Or what's it? Some Karen that wants to still talk to the manager. Oh, man, they never leave.

What is it? Let me see. What is it? Let's see. Muriel's Jackson Square. Even in death, they don't know. For many decades, blah, blah, blah, blah. Claude Trepenier. What's his deal? I don't know if he was he. I don't know if he's the deal.

There is a long, I'm not going to read all this. Yeah, don't read all this. Good Lord. Just give me a really quick, why is Muriel's, oh, okay, one of the most haunted restaurants in Norleans. Why? Yeah, why? That's what we want to know. Revolves around one of the past owners of the building in which Muriel's resides.

Pierre Antoine, the party, Juldan, bought the property sometime after one of New Orleans's huge fires. um he stepped in about the damaged property set forth restoring the home to its former glory he was proud of his home he could communicate with the ghost of uh jordan um he with the levy okay so it's really just the previous owner loved the game and or love the love the restaurant he also uh lost a lot of poker games there um but he loves the place so that's why he still haunts it oh so because he just can't give it up i get it Jordan. Well done, Jordon. Jordan. Give me my mingo phone. Oh, that thing will never leave our memory.

No, never, never. A quick note, programming note, sort of. We're working on it, but it looks like the weekend we chose for our TMS getaway in Vegas is a little weird. They're doing the NFL draft there that weekend, and they now have an NFL team, which means hotel rooms are like $300 for the cheapest things. For a night. Just Thursday night, $300. hundred bucks so yeah so we're in the process of figuring out a different weekend it'll probably it probably will just stay in i may not even be a weekend it'll stay in april we might just move it

to weekdays which would be a lot cheaper a whole lot yeah and we could do like tuesday through thursday or something or monday through right exactly yeah we'd be out of there before the the crowds start coming in not and it's not just the prices that'd be an issue but also be the crowds you know we don't want to have to deal with a bunch of a bunch of people for many reasons for lots of you forget about COVID for a minute when when when there's a giant thing happening in Vegas and that happens more now that they have an NFL team and an NHL team for that matter yeah just avoid that place on those game nights unless you're going there for the game but it's a nightmare just yeah just go to uh I mean just don't go uh to the strip during the hockey

games or the football games the downtown totally fine yeah downtown's usually stadiums are far away from that. So, um, the, the most important thing to take away from this is go to the TMS Discord, uh, the Frog Pants Discord and, uh, find the TMS Vegas channel. That's where a lot of the discussion and planning is going to be. So, yeah, yeah. If you're planning on going, go, uh, the way to do this would be to check the, well, to get to the discord. It's super easy. Just go to frogpants.com slash TMS. All the links are there. And, um, Brian's right. That's going to be the best place for sort of coordination of all this. Um, but I know there's a couple of people. Like I know Will Harris in the U.K. is making a plan to be here.

I talked to Justin, and he thought it's the perfect weekend because I guess they're also doing that ice cream social thing that weekend. But I don't think he knew about this. But if we did earlier that week, it may still land well for everybody. So we'll figure it out. Exactly. Well, let's all get in there and get her done. Make sure Tom can make it. And of course, Cleo, and since that's a special thing going on there for her.

So, yeah, we'll figure it all out. But the best place, I'm not going to do updates here. unless there are big updates. Obviously, once we get a date squared away, we'll talk about it here on the show. But for all the other details, just head on over the Discord and stuff will be there. Yeah. And for those at home going, wait a minute, are we in a pandemic? No, we know.

We're planning ahead. We know it's a ways off. We're giving ourselves some breathing room here, literally. The goal is, by then, hopefully things are a little better. Tucker Carlson told me that Owen Crown will be over by the end of March. Oh, did he? Oh, well, he told me I'm supposed to have. the hots for a green M&M. I didn't understand that. Oh, you don't? I mean, those high heels,

come on. I mean, they're pretty hot. Who doesn't want to screw a sexy librarian piece of candy? I'm sure that'll make the rounds on our next mashup. I'm excited. She's Louise. All right. Well, there you go. We'll let you know more as we know it. And we'd love to have your voice in it. Let's do some freaking news. Yeah, that's right. It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. Tom Norma from the chat, and Patreon says, I'm a web developer, author, and podcaster. I do a weekly D&D stream, battle map creating, or battle map creating. It sounds like he actually fought creating maps and some games at twitch.tv. That's Tomem, N-O-R-M. That's T-O-M-N-O-R-M.

I'm also coming out with my new book in the next month or two. Everything can be viewed at shafen-creative. That's S-C-H-A-F-F-F-E-N-Creative.com. Love the show, though. Thank you, Tom. He's in the chat today. Hi, Tom. Yes.

Hi, Tom. I'm-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma. What's up, buddy? All right, let's get into this couple news stories here today. Brian, some important stuff happened overnight. Yes. After more than 70 years, this didn't happen overnight. This was a while ago.

The FDA, the Federal Drug Administration, Food and Drug Administration, is dropping its regulation for French dressing. Or as this headline says, dressin. Dressin. Some dressing. French dressing. Or French dressing. Yeah, you could go either way.

Sure. After more than 70 years, the federal government decided that French dressing is no longer in need of regulation. Quote, when the standard of identity was established in 1950, French dressing was one of three types of dressings we identified. The Food and Drug Administration said, in the final rule posted to the federal register rather on Thursday. The other two were mayonnaise and just plain old quote unquote salad dressing.

Okay. Whatever the hell that means. French dressing is the only pourable dressing required to adhere to standards that require it to contain oil, acidifying ingredients, and seasoning. Other foods, including bread, jam, and juices, have their own standards of identity. When it comes to French dressing, many consumers expect red or red orange color. and tomato or tomato-derived elements, none of which are required under the standards.

The Association for Dressing and Sources, this is a real thing, by the way. I know. What surprises me is, without reading the article, I would have said, oh, like, I would have assumed that they had to come from France. Right. The recipe had to come from France.

Right. It doesn't matter. No, it doesn't matter. This is what you call a lot of red tape for nothing. Let's see. The Association for Dressing and Sources, which is a group I really want to attend their next meeting. They sound amazing.

It's an industry group founded in 1926. Good Lord. They petitioned for the standards to be revoked in 1998, citing the explosion of varieties of salad dressings available, among them ranch, cheese, peppercorn, and Italian. French dressing is no longer a baseline for other dressings and has become marginalized, said that association. So they finally got their wish in 2022.

It took this long, but no longer do they have to adhere to whatever strict rule they have for French dressing. can go nuts with it. Do you think the association for dressing and sauces, when they hold their meetings, do you think they hold it in a ranch? Oh, my gosh. I don't know if I'm allowed to keep doing the show after that one. That's really...

Thank you. I'll be here all night. That was a rough one. No, yeah. I know. Sorry. That's what they should do. No matter what they should do, everything should be dressing and sauce related, don't you think? Yes, exactly.

So I actually agree with you. They should have their meetings in like a ranch. Oh, yeah. hold it in the hidden valley yeah the hidden valley exactly damn straight they should have um uh all let's see what what else could you have i know i'm like trying going through and really quickly see what else i could uh think it was a blue cheese uh have a russian guy everything else is like italian or blue cheese or what's the russian stuff called it's not always called russian oh yeah there's one that's like what uh well it is called russian dressing there's like a catamaran

Not Catamaran. What is it? It's like Catah of a, Catah... Well, isn't Thousand Island? Catalina? Catalina dressing. Oh, Catalina. I thought Catalina was French.

It was the other term for the French dressing, no? Do I have that wrong? I thought those were separate. They could be. They could be. Oh, I'm... This is... Because I think, because I'm pretty sure that Russian dressing is also Thousand Island.

Right? Oh, okay. Yeah, here we go. Catalina, a trademark name for a specific product dressing is essentially ketchup, oil, vinegar, various spices, and sweeteners. French dressing is a too sweet vinaigrette with paprika added for color. Okay. So that clears that up.

Thousand Island is what? Hold on. Thousand Island is a white dressing? No, it's that pink goo. Is it pink? Oh, yeah, right. It's what some people use for fry sauce. Yeah, and isn't it also?

Mayanays, olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, paprika. what's this here sauce, mustard, vinegar, cream, chili sauce, tomato, puree, and ketchup. Okay. Or Tabasco. Or Tabasca, yeah. And yes, I said, what's this here sauce? Yes, you did. Because as you hold that up and say, what's this here sauce?

Now, Russian dressing, oh, that's why I'm not crazy. Here it is. Russian dressing is very similar to Thousand Island. Oh, really? Russian in Thousand Island. Yeah, so sometimes they omit the mayonnaise to make it less creamy. But I knew it was close.

Yeah, that looks almost the same. But also that originated here in the United States. It's not actually Russian. So I don't know what's going on. All right. Excellent. There's also a movie called Russian dressing. No, thanks.

I don't want to see it. Let's move on to next door. Okay. Hey, Brian, you want to be more attractive? I do. Do you? Sure. Who doesn't?

Nobody doesn't. Maybe Steve Bouchemi. It would hurt his brand to be. It kind of would, right? Yeah. He needs to look like he looks. So here's the deal. We're wearing a facial mask or a surgical mask, I should say, make you look more attractive

according to a new study. I think that absolutely 100% is true. Oh, you do. All right. Well, let's see what this study says. And then you tell me how that, because it sounds like you've got empirical evidence that that it's true regardless of this study. So I want to hear that.

Face masks can make you more attractive, according to a research from Cardiff University. Images of men wearing blue surgical face masks were perceived as being more appealing or most appealing. This is from a dude named Dr. Michael Lewis. He is it says reader at Cardiff University. I don't know what a reader is. I don't either.

I guess he just goes to Cardiff University with a good book. He reads. Yeah, he just reads there. Yeah, I'm a reader. Sure, why not? Kind of a reader. He likes a good book. Maybe he's easy reader.

It could be. Says what we found that is, sorry, what we found is that in the past when people put on a surgical mask, this cues people into thinking there's disease present, and that will make people judge the face as being less attractive. But what happens now is when people see someone with a mask, they are no longer being queued that there is a disease here.

But what they are doing is seeing people as being more attractive. Okay. 43 women were asked to rate attractiveness. So this is all women being asked of images of males wearing masks and without masks, wearing a plaincloth mask, wearing a blue surgical mask, and then covering their face with a book. That makes you a reader as well. It's more my understanding.

Yes, right. Lewis says the sample size was large enough to draw some conclusions. The experiment took place February 20th and 21st when there was, let's see, and let's see, currently the UK face mask mandate was happening. So that was going on. Let's see. I'm trying to find the actual results here. I didn't put them in right.

I like that. It's a huge sample size of 43 women. Yeah. They claim that's enough, but you never, you know, you know. Yeah. No, I think, but I still think it's true because, and here's my theory on it. Okay, give me your theory. It hasn't really come up, is that when you can't see the rest of the face, you basically, your mind fills in what you think the face looks like based on the top half. And it's always going to pick the ideal bottom half of the face based on the top half. Your mind just does that. It does that with anything.

Like, if you're shown something that's hidden, your mind fills in whatever you can't see. with the ideal. I could see that. Is that why I think every ninja's good-looking because the only all they show is this? Well, those hot ninjas, yeah, exactly.

I really do. When I see a ninja, I just assume there's a very good-looking Asian person. They all look like Jean-Claude Van Damme under those ninja, uh, ninja, uh, faces. Sure. I don't know I was thinking of Ryan Reynolds,

but sure, that's fine. I was thinking more like an attractive Asian person. I'm always thinking of Ryan Reynolds, Scott. He's on your mind now, right now. He's a dreamy. he is pretty dreamy yeah let's see I'm so sensitive

like if if you're okay it says something about George Clooney so what we'd expect is if we had George Clooney or someone as attractive as George Clooney yeah you look at the top of the face and you're right they fill in the gaps that's exactly what he says at the bottom of the study

oh really so it does okay that's funny it took them a long time to get to that because I I did not read this article before no I think you're right I think you're just dead on my garbage you're just dead on That's just, you're exactly right about how it work. I think what we need to do is, is like a test, right?

Where we take actors and cover the bottom of their faces and, and then just kind of see if what we perceive is better looking than when we take the mask. Does it have to be, it has to be somebody we don't know, though, right? Or else we're... Oh, yeah, it kind of does have to be someone we don't know. That's true, yeah. So we just need to find some faces and then both handsome and ugly. Not ugly, but you know, whatever.

And Terry Zee in Chicago, by the way, happy birthday, Terry Z, says, because I think today is your actual birthday, says, so if you put a mask on Prince Charles, your brain would make his face look attractive. If you didn't recognize him as being Prince Charles and fill in what you know about Prince Charles's face, then I say yes. Yeah, probably you would fill in based on what you see, what's not there, and it would be the ideal version of what's not there. Yeah, exactly. But you'd have to not already have the image of Prince Charles in your head. So it would have to not be famous people, I guess, is the point. Right. There's, you know, I'll say this.

There's a restaurant I go to locally for breakfast. I go out for breakfast on Fridays, every Friday, without fail, go out to breakfast. But I have like five or six different places I go. And one of the places is a local diner called First Watch. And there's frequently two people at the hostess stand, both of whom I think must be really attractive under their masks. And, and, um, uh, uh, there's a, uh, a woman with long brown hair, always has a pulled back and I just see the top half of her face and she does really like she's great with her eye makeup. And then there's a dude with like, um, uh, greatest American hero kind of blonde

curly hair, the, the fro, the blonde fro. And then halfway through the pandemic when things were starting to relax, I saw them both without their masks. And I said, Oh, wow, neither of them look as good as I imagined. As you imagine, yeah. You were in the test and didn't know it. I was in the test and didn't know it. You were the Arvada control group.

That's what you were. You just didn't know it. Yeah, when I say the first watch being local, I'm not saying, I'm just saying it's close to me. I'm not saying it's a mom and pop place that's right. Yeah, I'd never heard of them. I know they're, oh, really? Yeah, they're great.

They're on the healthier side, right? So they have greens bowls and assay bowls and things like that. And then they do also have like chocolate chip pancakes and chorizo poutine and stuff like that. That sounds really good. Oh, it's all really good. Gosh, dang it. I should do, I like your Thursday thing or Friday thing. I have shows in the morning.

Yeah, I screwed up. I got to quit having shows in the morning on Friday. That's my problem. I got to like, hey instant. Sorry, you're done. Goodbye. Who wants to talk about video games? the morning on a Friday. I know. I know. Right? I don't want to do that. I want to put a pancake

in my face. That's what I want to do. Yeah. But I'm usually there and gone for breakfast by like 745s, 8 o'clock. Like I go early and I get out of there early to beat the rush. And so I'd be done before, you know, you'd be done before the instance. I can't eat that early though. Oh, right, right. The time fasting. It's not even that. I just can't eat. I just don't like eating early in the morning. Just can't do food too early. I don't know why. I got to, if I eat before 10, it's weird for me. Oh, really? Wow. Yeah. Isn't that weird? That is weird. Like, the intermittent fasting thing actually is kind of just me and my normal, like 11 o'clock. That's about when I eat 11, 11.30. So, I don't know, it keeps me from, I guess it keeps me from eating three giant meals a day.

You know what I mean? Like, usually two. I actually tend, lately I've been tending to do the, um, uh, uh, break like on fridays that will do a bigger breakfast salad for lunch small dinner um and and then even during the week i still try and put all my if i'm going to have a lot of calories or if i'm going to do bigger meals i do them for breakfast or lunch and still try to do a light dinner because i don't want to uh i don't want to just pig out when i'm going to be laying in bed in a few hours and yeah that's the worst yeah you got to do uh you do the you do the carbs in the morning and you and you do the proteins at night. The grains, the proteins, the grains, and the greens at night.

Yeah, get that in there, baby. Terry Z in Chicago, you're 75. You only eat one meal per day? Terry Z. Terry Z. And it begins that with, wow, I only eat one meal. Like, you guys are all crazy. I only eat one meal per day.

Yeah, but look at him. 75, kicking it, doing great. Doing something right. Yeah, good point. Maybe I need to eat like Terry Z heading into my next few couple decades. Terry Z, I only eat, I only eat one meal per hour. There you go. That's my rule.

Yeah, my problem is I eat too much. I've been better at it lately, but my snack problem is a problem. I snack too much. Even sometimes it's healthy shit. It's like I got these awesome organic dry roasted salted cashews and I'm supposed to just eat a few, but before I know it, I've eaten too many. I always do it. It's because you bring the whole bag down.

Get yourself a set of little ceramic bowls and never bring bags of food to your office It's just pour some into a little ceramic bowl. You've got to do that. Yeah, you're totally right. Just, you know, once again, self-control, right? Portion control. Portion control. And you've got to have a better ability to control your damn self.

All right. Here's a fun one for you. We talked about monkeys yesterday. The monkeys are all over the news lately. We got a lot of monkey news. All monkeys all the time. That's right. All 100 lab monkeys have now been accounted for.

after a whole bunch of them escaped because of a crash. It was like one of those movies where a prison truck crashes and all the inmates get out. It's like that. Oh, God. This whole thing sounds like a horror movie. Like, oh, my God. We've got 99 of the 100 monkeys. One monkey's still out there.

And he turns out to be the one that's got the infectious radioactive superpowers disease or something like that. To be honest, I'm rooting for the monkeys, if I'm honest. We all saw E.T. We know how this goes. Yeah, I don't like lab. Lab monkeys, they have a rough go of it. Anyway, the last of the escape monkeys from a crash of a truck towing a trailer load of 100 of these animals

was accounted for late Saturday a day after a pickup collided with the dump truck on a Pennsylvania highway. That's American vampires live in Pennsylvania. I don't know if you know that. Right on the Pennsylvania Highway. Yeah, they're right there. Several monkeys that escaped following Friday's collision, according to Pennsylvania State Police,

but only one had remained unaccounted for as of Saturday morning, prompting the Penn Game Commission and other agencies to launch a search for it amid the frigid weather they're currently having. Kristen Nordland, a spokesperson with the Federal Centers for Disease Control Prevention, said in an email Saturday evening that all 100, semongulus, simulgus, sorry, synomolgus, macaques. Simulgus. They're all macaques.

Macawks. Yay. McCoc. Hey, more macaques, more macaque talk. Yeah, a doctor says, where does it hurt? Macoc! I'm just kidding. If they tried to stop the monkeys, they would have been macaque blocking.

Oh, geez, Louises. That's actually true. They've all been accounted for three were dead. They were euthanized, which pisses me off. Anyway, the email did not elaborate why the three were euthanized or how all came to be accounted for, but said the euthanized ones were done so humanely by clobbering on what they have with a bat. Just kidding, that didn't happen. I made that by the top.

Did they see the monkey that was driving the dump truck that collided to get them to free the monkeys? It's the first one of the euthanize. They were like, you bastard, you were driving that truck. It wasn't me, it wasn't me, it, e, e, e, e. The collision happened on Friday, and the worry was that these monkeys might be full of some drugs or some weird, you know, infectious anything. But they assured everybody, A, that they aren't, B, that they're all accounted for us, so now everything's fine. So don't worry about your monkeys. Everything's fine, you guys.

Final story in the wake of the death of meatloaf. Meatloaf says Prince Andrew. You know Prince Andrew is the one that's kind of in trouble for all the... Yeah, all the stuff with... Jeff, what's his name? Elaine Maxwell and Jeff Epstein. There you go. He's tied up with that stuff.

He says, Meatloaf said in an interview that just unearthed this interview that said that Prince Andrew once tried to push him into a moat after he caught. Sarah Ferguson, quote, paying attention to him, unquote. Wow. Rockstar, an actor who died on Thursday at age 74. He was an actor? What was he in? Oh, are you kidding me?

I really don't know. Little movies like Fight Club, Rocky Horror Picture Show, that great Steve Martin movie with a leap of faith. Oh. He was a preacher. I think he's the bus driver in the Spice Girls movie. I didn't know that. Yeah, he's been in a lot of stuff.

I actually like his acting more than his singing. Completely forgot about fight club, him being in there. I should know that one. Tenacious D. They keep saying tenacious. There's a couple people, nice to me on a bad poor saying tenacious D. They're confusing him with someone. Are they thinking Jack Black?

Yeah. There was no Tenacious D movie that he would have been in, right? Or did he guess sing in it or something? Oh, he was J.B.'s dad. Really? Oh, man. I forgot about that. Jack Black's dad was played by Meatloaf.

I don't remember that. I don't remember that either. In the Take of Destiny or what it was called, the Tenacious D and the... Oh, I never saw that. His name was Robert Paulson. Anyway, was that really his name? Robert Paulson was his name? Was that his real name?

Whose name? What's Meatloaf's real name? What's Meatloaf's real name? Do you know it? It's Marvin. Marvin a day. He later changed it to Michael a day because kids were making fun of how fatty was in school. At the time when Levi's had a commercial.

that said, poor Marvin, he's too fat to fit in Levi's. So he actually did go to the courthouse at 11 years old or something and legally change his name to Michael. I respect that. I respect that. Well, anyway, he says that he was pushed into or attempted to push into a moat by Prince Andrew because of this attention, the singer and actor, who's real name. Oh, it's right here, Marvin Lee Aday, participated in the 1987 television charity tournament. It's a Royal Knockout filmed in Elton Towers. That's what he was doing there.

members of the Royal Family competed in teams kind of like you know family feud style alongside celebrities such as John Travolta Sheena Easton

Really? Cliff Richard and John Cleese in a bid to raise money for charity They had to get a Brit in there Let's see In a 2003 interview with the Guardian Meatlo said it was great fun

He had a great time But joke that the queen hates me He revealed that he caught the attention of Sarah Ferguson Prince Andrew's wife prior to their divorce Fergie wasn't exactly flirting with me But she was paying attention to me He said

And I think Andrew got a little I could be wrong I'm just reading into this, but he got a little jealous. Anyway, he tried to push me in the water. He tried to push me in the moat, unquote. There you go. That's crazy. I know you don't watch a lot of reality television,

especially reality television hosted by our former reality television host in chief. But when Meatloaf was on The Apprentice and fought with Gary Busey over paints and sponges, it was some of the best television ever. So this is funny. I have, I never watched a single episode of The Apprentice or most reality TV, but I remember, someone showed me that interaction, yeah. It's like some kind of YouTube video or something of that fight. And now that you said it was for The Apprentice, that's actually news to me. I didn't know I had anything to do with that.

I thought it was just. Here's a link if you'd like. Yeah, let's revisit it. It's audio muted out, so. That's fine. All right, I'm going to hit the thing here. okay here we go let's skip out

here we go let's see started about that ain't good dude so there's started about three minutes and seven seconds three minutes seven seconds

did you buy this paint right here yeah why I'll come get you I'll come get you he didn't buy on this those big brushes this is stuff you picked out

yeah I know Busey was on that show I guess huh I got sponges I brought a spray I have my We can also go right back down there And grab some more stuff But you just don't

Assume And you fucking ask Dude meatloaf's pissed Meatloaf is He goes from zero to 100 And like Ooh it looks like they're gonna just go down Does this look like it?

And then Busey just stand in there taking it? Yeah How bad is it when Gary Bucy Seems like the sane one Yeah I don't think that's good. I think that's bad.

Yeah. All right. We're going to take a break. When we come back, our guests will be here. We'll talk to Bill first and we'll get a little science in with Bobby. So stick around for all of that. Before that, though, we need a song. Brian, you got a song.

Yeah. Let's go to Austin. A singer named Scott Strickland is releasing a brand new single called L.A. This is the first single from his debut self-titled album, which is going to come out Friday, April 29th, courtesy of Smith Music. This is the first album that he's released since his 2015 EP, Flight of the Sun. So it's been a while for him, and we're glad to have him back. He is, let's see, getting ready to do an album release show in Austin.

He says that these little songs are flares, fragments of what my life used to be as I pursue onward with my pursuit of what is good and true in the world. So here is Scott Strickland and his first single from his brand new album, LA. Saying that you want to go back to L.A. Saying that you want to quit your jobs and it drives you crazy. Taking everything that I gave you away, even all the hearts, all the cards, all the letters on your birthday. You could have had me in the summertime.

Wind blows and the breezes are fine. California sky. high on a Saturday afternoon Saying that you want to go back to LA Start over Tell me all about the shit You did that day

Look at me and said I'm lying With the straight face Lord knows that I did wrong I did a bad thing Some bad things you just know that you can't erase But you still could have me in autumn When the leaves turn Camp fire in the wood burns

Texas orange sky getting high all afternoon Saying that you want to go out to LA It's not old you need it take your time in LA I'll be here when you need me save me for any day but it never rains in LA It's your head If you're not leaving And I'm not leaving Why do you leave?

Why am I leave? It's your heart to leave Your life The world It's your mind You know It's your life It's your heart

To live It's your heart to live to live in the world that's all your bad be no me it's so hard to

give away from the world it's hard to leave the way for the world to the baby no way it's why you leave I mean, you're in an independent Baptist church and you've got a King James Bible in your hand and you've got a contemporary liberal hairdo. What in the world is wrong with you?

Hello, we are going for a little walk, so let us not waste any time. The MorningStream, Space Rock. We returned. Tell me that song again, so I don't forget it. You bet. The song is called L.A. It's by Scott Strickland, his brand new album is coming out at the end of April. That is great news. Yeah. Yeah, it is. It's great news.

It is great news. Bill incoming. You're not wrong. You're not wrong. Punish Prop's Own, Builder in, heading in. All guns blazing, all fires set. I got a play. I found a clip, well, I played it earlier, but should we make this the clip where Bill comes in? Let me play this real quick. Each shit and die, Ricky. Each shit and live, Bill. I don't know. I haven't decided. I feel like maybe, maybe not. I think Bill needs to decide that one. I don't think we can decide that for Bill. What do you think, Bill? You like? your new intro? What do you think there, bud? I don't know how on-brand that is for me. I don't know. I feel like Bill

the roles are switched. Bill would be more likely to say, eat shit and live someone else. Yeah. It's Bill who's the problem. And I think that was a clip from the movie, not the Razor's Edge. What's the one where, um, Tom Cruise and everyone's in it. It's a long time ago. Outsiders? I think that was it.

Yeah. The outsiders? Right? No The Stephen King book's called The Outsider The Outs something I'm the one that's based on the book It's got sleepaway sleepway camp No, it can't be right? No outsiders had what, C. Thomas Howell and Patrick Swayze and

Yeah Outsiders, oh that's it Outsiders. Yeah, they weren't greasers Bob, Bobby Greasers What do you got like three decades wrong on that That's not what they were. They were just punk kids like gangsters but they weren't greasers.

You're thinking of the wrong way. It's all fine. It's all fine. All right. Well, on that, for that, okay, then this. Your bat caves open there, Bill. It remains for now. Bill's here.

He is from Punish Props.com, and he joins us like he does every Tuesday. We're here talking about makers and making things and props and stuff. Bill, I have a follow-up for you before we get going. Yeah, last week, we talked about which of your props you would use to defend your home and had a whole discussion about that. And this guy wrote in named Kent G. he said, why does that remind me to somebody? Oh, Kenny G is what I'm thinking of.

Saxophone is Kenny G. Ken G wrote in, Bill, wouldn't it be more effective to have a very flashy and lavish prop to scare someone off with, even if it was not as effective as stabbing with as a simple knife would be? So his idea is like, if you had a big, scary looking, wacky weapon, that might be the deterrent you need that wouldn't really hurt the guy.

He just wouldn't know. He'd be too scared. What do you think of that? I think if you're going to go with that route, then I would set up all of my mannequins. Because let me tell you, if I'm walking through my dark shop and I catch one of those mannequins out of the corner of my eye, that scares the crap out of me. Yeah, it does, right? Oh, my gosh. All of my mannequins I had to take apart, put on the ground, and cover it with something.

Because even a body on the ground catching out of the corner of your eyes a little startling. If the mannequins, if the mannequins don't scare them, we have a giant surter skull on the wall. I think if someone saw that, they might think twice as well. Yeah, I wouldn't mess with, if I saw one of your mannequins, that'd be enough for me to get out of there. Oh, yeah, yeah, just a naked, naked. Actually, funny, the mannequin, we bought this mannequin. I think I pointed this out to you a while ago. I bought a mannequin.

It's like a man-shaped mannequin. The head of it looks a lot like Nick Johnson. It looks like your kid. Oh, really? Yeah, the boy, does it? Weird. Yeah, it really does. I'll have to share that with him.

He'll be not at all creeped out by then. I'm going to take a picture of it. Okay. Yeah, do that. I actually really like to see it. Well, it's good to have you here. Why don't we dive into what you're working on this week? What's going on in the maker world of Bill Duran?

I'm going back in time a little bit, reminiscing. I was thinking about this last night. I'd forgotten about this TV show from the mid-90s. Do you ever watch the show called Movie Magic? No. Oh, Brian's up for Sarah. It's familiar, but no, it doesn't... Like 70 episodes, I think, from 94 to 97 on the Discovery Channel.

And on YouTube, here I'll drop a link in the chat there. On YouTube, I looked up movie magic playlist. Sure enough, someone found every episode collected them in one playlist. Ooh, very nice. And these are, are these out of, I mean, are they legal to play on YouTube? Probably must be. I couldn't find it literally anywhere else. There isn't even a Wikipedia entry for this show.

Oh, interesting. So someone collected them all, put them up on YouTube. Okay. Now, the show is about how movies are made. And every episode will showcase a specific effect or effects from a specific show or movie. So if you look at the playlist, there's an episode on the visual effects from Independence Day. Or there's an episode just on motion control or old age prosthetics or a whole bunch of different things like that. So they would collect behind-the-scenes footage.

on how those things were done in specific movies. I have a very vivid specific memory about the episode on Demolition Man and how they did a whole bunch of that stuff. That's awesome. Okay, now that I've seen this intro, I just watched the intro in silence, but it's something very familiar about this. It's bringing back some memories, yeah. It's crazy.

I didn't remember them making so quite so many episodes, so I may have to go back and watch a whole lot of these. Yeah. So this got me thinking, as I was reminiscent, thing about this old thing. DVDs, the DVD era that we are rapidly sprinted away from.

That may have been the golden age of extra bonus behind the scenes stuff. Because now when you buy a movie, like I bought Ghostbusters Afterlife on Amazon because I'm impatient. I just wanted to watch the movie right away as soon it was available.

And all you get is the movie. That's it. Depending on where you buy the movies, you do get the bonus stuff with some places. Like I buy, I do my digital, like the Marvel ones, I actually stopped. Marvel were the last Blu-Rays I was buying, right? So prior to, I think Black Widow, did I buy, I don't think I bought Black Widow, I think Black Widow, Shang-Chi, and Eternals, I just bought the digital because I may not be a Disney Plus subscriber forever, but I do will.

still want to have access to all those movies. And those all come with all the extras, the reasons that I bought the Blu-Rays in the first place. Yeah, it's just the difference this now compared to the DVD years where you were almost guaranteed every DVD had some extras on it. And these days, it's like, oh,

you don't even know. Like, I bought the 4K digital Blade Runner 2049, and I was really hoping that that had stuff. It didn't have any extras. Yeah. Oh, really? That sucks. Now, I think our favorite MCU movie's got to be Thor Ragnarok and I believe on Amazon when we bought it the movie itself is like four hours long because they tacked another hour and a half on the end of it with extra stuff which is really cool it's just weird that it in the digital age I can't like buy a movie on Amazon and on the page for Amazon why don't I have like all the extra features there are a separate broken out thing like it's possible I know it's possible yeah you get that that's that's exactly the interface

when you do it with the, um, with the Apple, uh, that's cool, video store. And I probably with voodoo and, um, uh, what's the Sony? Sony, what's the Sony one? Oh, uh, is that ultraviolet? Ultra, is that, uh, mate? There's, I know that I've seen some of these where when you buy the movie, you get a page. And it looks just like that, that DVD launch window where you've got watch movie, watch bonus features.

And then that expands to say, deleted scenes, gag reel, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, I can't remember. You'd think that all of these things would be really easy to do in a digital age. They can update those things whenever there's new information. Absolutely, right? They can film stuff years after the fact and add it, right? Right, right. So maybe

we'll see a resurgence. I would love to see that. Now, this is the rabbit hole. I was going down last night. This got me thinking, though, what were some DVD movies that had really good behind the scenes? And my gold standard,

As far as I'm concerned, is Lord of the Rings. Absolutely. Those fucking box sets. Oh, man. Yeah, they were amazing. One disc for the movie and like three discs of extras. Yeah. The Blade Runner one that came out that had the theatrical release, the directors cut, and then the new directors cut, the new Ridley Scott, you know, end all, be all version.

I think was probably for me another highlight besides. Oh, yeah. now a lot of the extra features there's so much cool stuff director's commentary what a great idea or a different cut of the movie that's awesome what I crave though is footage of people making the movie well that's how we're bringing it back

to making things with Bill we got it yeah by the way just a real quick note here it looks like ultraviolet was originally a Dolby standard and still is I guess oh really yeah movies anywhere somebody said I think is the one I was thinking of movies anywhere might be that yeah anyway

Sorry, go ahead. So lots of touch really good stuff, but what the Lord of the Rings thing did was someone, I don't know who, and I would love to hear this story, someone had the foresight to be like, film everything, everything behind the scenes, film people making hobbit feet, film people making chain mail, talk to people during the movie while they're producing it so that after the fact, this is all archived. Yeah. And that's one of the only ones I could think of where that, that's what happened so that we got this just. just an insane look at how the movie was made. Yeah. Now, I watched those ones, the Lord of the Rings one several times. Brittany has always been way into Lord of the Rings.

So when they were coming out in the early 2000s, she got all the extended DVDs, and we watched all them when we were coming out. And I'm willing to bet watching those amazing folks at Weta Workshop making props, costumes, and armor. I'm willing to bet that had a pretty, big influence on me and the course my life took after that. Yeah, I'll bet.

No, I mean, it's funny, I'm trying to think what would be, I guess the Star Wars is that for probably Brian and I, like we're not, we're not that far removed from Bill's generation, but we're, I think that's maybe the one. And I remember as a kid seeing all kinds of, I don't even know where I saw these, but they were like mini documentaries of, you know, when they mocked up the, for example, from Return of the Jedi, they mocked up the speeder chase in the forest. And they did it with action figures, and they filmed it with, like, dynamic camera angles. Yeah.

I love that stuff. What do they call it? There's, like, a term for that. Mac, um, shoot. M.A.K. something. Anyway, but yeah, no, I've still, I still, over there have the laser discs of the original Star Wars trilogy. Nice. Which, which, again, you want to watch Star Wars on those.

You're getting up and flipping those things four times to watch the full movie. a lot of people think those are the laser disc actually is the most the truest version of the the original trilogy that you can still get your hands on sure sure my cats yeah there we go okay squishy twitchy mackettes mchettes that's what it is so we used to i mean i basically did that based on that i got my dad's video or a camcorder and i started filming my own star war stuff it's how i got burnt kirk i've told you guys about burnt kirk like i love that's freaking stuff so much and today people are prototype in all kinds of creative ways. Usually computers are involved, but there's something rad about saying, all right, we're going to make a big, expensive, incredible effects scene. Let's do it all first with action figures

inside of a tiny little space and make a rad little thing. I just love that. Yeah. In fact, that makes me think some of my favorite props are things like Doc Brown's little mock-up that they made

in the third Back to the Future movie. His little mock-up of the town. Well, which he did, he did in the first movie, too. Oh, yeah. He didn't, I think he might have even done it all, well, I don't remember if he did in the second movie as well. But certainly in the first and third,

and it was like a mirror image of the Hill Valley that he created in the first movie. In fact, so they did that in, they had a similar thing in Ghostbusters afterlife, a tiny little town. They did, yeah. Or the house, right? And that makes me wonder that they build that little macket

for the production and then go, dude, let's just put it in the movie. Yeah. Yeah. I would love to build a little scene like that of the house from a afterlife. Oh, for sure. You should do it. Yeah. Is there a movie? Let's say you pick a movie right now. You have an open table and you're going to create the set or the, the venue of a movie that's a favorite of yours. What do you create? What do you build as your little miniature? I'm going to fill this. table up with a miniature of a movie. Oh, geez, like a little town. I'd probably do Moss Isley, probably. Oh, Moss Isley's a great one, yeah. That was my favorite place in the world back then. I would make, this just makes me want to make more Mad Max RC cars.

Yeah, oh, yeah, like, you know what, if you could do like an action, an action set of just the, the, the, the, the, the convoy chasing down the borderline. Oh, man. Oh, my gosh, dude. Oh, yeah, Halloween Town is another good one, night before Christmas. I wouldn't mind recreating the Pee-Wee Herman, Rube Goldberg device that he uses to make his breakfast in miniature. Oh, wow.

Or even the house, the playhouse. Or even the, right. Oh, yeah, his Peewee's playhouse. Totally. That would be great. Or Jerry's apartment? Yeah, Jerry's apartment. I saw your post-apocalyptic one, Scott.

Yeah. I kind of want to make that version of it. You know what that made me think of, actually, is if I'm ever making a movie where, like, it's post-apocalyptic and the characters are, like, going through New York City and they need to crash somewhere for the night, what if they just happen to break into an apartment and it just happens to be Jerry's apartment? You don't say anything, but it's obviously. Yeah, you just do the movie the way you were going to do it. It doesn't change anything. This is where John Wick is hiding or whatever, but to have it be Jerry's apartment, but that would that, would be an amazing

right yeah I would freaking love that oh my gosh it's a great idea uh well all right this is uh I'm I'm gonna watch this whole series by the way this is yeah I'm already I've had it on silent here but I'm already like super stoked about just this makeup episode

they're talking about how they got Terminator makeup they do interviews with Stan Winston like this is no joke how did I not watch this religiously back then I wonder I don't know why I wasn't yeah and it's and I can't find any information about it now I mean, in the five minutes I looked on Google last night. But it doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry.

So this YouTube archive is where it all lives. Wow. Look at young Rick Baker. Right? Young the youngest of Rick Baker's. Yeah. He wishes he was that thing now. That guy's cool.

Oh my gosh, Harry and the Henderson's. How they made that? That's fun. All right. Very cool. Go check it out. You guys, search for it. It's on YouTube.

The entire thing looks like movie magic. And they start with an intro and they have a whole playlist for every damn episode. Very cool. So, yeah, go ahead. Recommendation, our friends over at Tested, if you go to their YouTube channel and go to the playlist section, they have a playlist for everything they've filmed about Ghostbusters afterlife. And it's like 34 videos. And they were there on set filming two years ago, two or three years ago when they were filming it.

And they have a ton of coverage, lots of behind the scenes stuff. Now, now a lot of it was happening while production was going on. It's more like afterwards they showed up or they kind of interrupted them. But it's still a ton, a ton of great information on how the movie was made. That's awesome. That's our friends over it tested. Very nice. Savage and Norm and those awesome.

Norm was showing off a freaking Wonder Woman LED lit. What the frick was that, dude? Oh, it's so good. Holy shite. Brian, you got to see this. Really? Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, I don't even know where to find this. I guess his Twitter account had it. Let's see, Norm. This is just too good not to share. Yeah. Norman Chan, there it is. I'm curious about.

The Wonder Woman with the golden armor with the wings. It's a figure that he got. Oh, okay. And then he did a bit of special effects with her golden lasso, her lasso of truth. Yeah. Using some ultra-thin LED wire. It looks like a strand of light. It's so good.

As opposed to, right. So it's like that, what do they call that, the light fiber stuff that you can build with clothing? Yeah, electro-luminosant wire is good, but you need like an extra bit of... Oh, there it is right there. And it winds, and it's not very bright. These LED wires are insane. Is that she fighting Thanos? Oh, that's the other thing I forgot to mention.

She's fighting Thanos. That's a big important part of the story. Holy crap. That is so much bright. than any of the other luminescent way so that is a different thing freaking gorgeous I'd turn that on and leave it on and never leave

never leave the room that's so cool that just like that instantly made the water room in 1984 movie better yeah it did that suit wasn't the problem with that movie that suit was just fine that suit was cool and those wings and stuff oh man all right well anyway

Bill thanks for that as always punish props.com's your destination for cool stuff getting made and give Bill a Follow on Twitter as well over at Chimbeard. Bill, have a great week. See you. See you next time.

By now. Why can't I find his name? Goodbye. There we go. Okay, and I'll find it. All right. So now, I feel the need for some science. So why not?

You know, we've had our education about making things. Now let's get our education about how these things work. Yeah, how about that. Science. It's Bobby Franks. way from South Carolina, our second South Carolina native, who comes on the show all the time. And we're happy to have him. Bobby, welcome back to the show. Hello. Well, thanks for having me back. Yeah, heck yeah. Look at you in your casual attire today,

like a true scientist. Is it casual Tuesday for you? Is that the deal? Every day it's casual Tuesday here in the Frankenberger house. Very nice. So it's been a week, and I wonder what you've got in store for us today. What's going on? Well, I've been doing some reading and research about something that I want to cover on the podcast this week, and I thought I'd bring it here and talk to you guys about it, which is that over in Europe, there seems to be a lot of nuclear power plants being shut down with not a lot of plans to replace them. And I think that that might make meeting carbon emission goals by 25. 50 challenging.

So wait a minute, is it, what is the reason they're shutting them down? Are they giving reasons? There's probably a lot of reasons, but I think that probably a big reason, I say probably, but I know from some of the research that I've been doing that a lot of the big reasons is that there's a lot of anti-nuclear sentiments. There's a lot of people who don't like the idea of nuclear for various reasons, like thinking it's not safe, thinking about nuclear waste and how you dispose of that,

thinking that renewable energy like solar and wind would be better and cheaper and cleaner, stuff like that. You know, nuclear has historically been thought of as an expensive power source. And so there's a lot of arguments. A lot of those things are political arguments, I'd say, but there's definitely some science that can be... Is anyone just straight up scared of a meltdown? Like, you know...

I think a lot of people are scared of meltdown, and that's one of the factors that go into the general... The public sentiment that nuclear is not safe. But, you know, is that true? Is a meltdown really a dangerous risk? It's happened before. There have been nuclear accidents, you know, of course, famously Chernobyl and then you've got more recently the Fukushima

accident that happened but those are well well tragic accidents certainly people died and and have injuries and and long-term effects from that and we shouldn't discount that but but is do those those accidents kind of end up dominating the public perception of nuclear, right? Yeah, it's like airplanes. The safest thing you can do to travel is be on an airplane, but it doesn't feel like it if you think about crashing airplanes or hear about accidents with airplanes. Right, you're much more likely to die on the highway than you are in a plane, and you're

much more likely to die from fossil fuel as an energy source than you are. It's just, again, you don't really hear about it because the deaths are coming from you know all the pollution sure well sometimes it comes from a coal mine collapsed and killed 30 people or sometimes it's uh like i guess you have these bits and pieces that happen and people are used to hearing about those and we just kind of shrug our shoulders and go well that's part of getting the coal you know but the minute you have a once in a 50 year accident in a you know in a in a in a in a plan a nuclear plant like the fukushima thing is unfortunate mainly because It's an earthquake started the whole problem.

So this thing you can barely predict as it is. And it's so big that it's in everyone's mind, they're like, well, these must be nothing but unsafe. So therefore, get rid of them and then let's just pollute ourselves more because we're dumb. But there have been some analyses that have been done looking at the relative risk and safety of different sources of power. you can't just look at like you have to you have to compare apples to apples when you do these kinds of things right for so so some of the analysis that i've been looking at will compares um first of all end to end uh risk of death which is you know you're talking about like like the the material gathering the materials for construction you're talking about gathering the raw materials

to turn into power um you're talking about the people who are working there and the risks that on their lives as working in the factories or in the power plants. And then also considering pollution and all that kind of stuff. If you take all of these things into account and then, so count up all the number of deaths and then compare it on a per terawatt hour of energy released, because you have to consider that too, right? If you shut down a nuclear plant, they produce tons of energy. So if you replace that energy with fossil fuels, you're going to have a single fossil plant like a coal or oil plant is going to produce less energy than a nuclear plant.

So you have to consider the amount of actual plants that you're going to need. And so there's more people involved and stuff like that. So if you look at the deaths per terawatt hour of energy produced, it's crazy. something like 250 to 350 times more deaths come from coal and oil on a per terawatt hour basis. Nobody likes math, though, do they? They don't like data. No. They like the emotional reaction.

That's what people like. And it frustrates the hell out of me. And I understand it, dude. I totally get it. Like, I know when I get on to a Ferris wheel that it's not going to kill me, but I still feel like it will. You know what I mean? because I don't like heights. So I don't know how you, when you have a collective, when humanity as a collective

has whatever collective fear they have, what do you even do? Like it doesn't matter what you say to them, hey, you know, statistically speaking, you're going to die from stuff we mine way faster than that. They're just going to go, well, look what happened over there. And we still don't know what caused me. And like they're just going to do that. So that's why a lot of these are political. problems. And I think, you know, you have to have the political will exist to make change. But

it's important to have the science and the facts and the math behind it so that those decisions can be made more clear-headedly. And I do want to be clear for anybody listening. I think there are problems with every energy source when we're talking about how do we, you know, make it through the next 50, 100 years on Earth. Every solution, every energy source has drawbacks. And nuclear certainly does also have serious concerns. Nuclear waste being one of them. Like, what are you going to do with that?

I think there are ways to solve that. But again, you have to have the political will to do it because there's a lot of, like, nimbie problems, you know, not in my backyard problems with disposing of nuclear waste. I never heard anyone say that acronym before as the spelled out word. That's right. NIMBY, like FOMO or all those other dumb words. That's great. Zerple.

Zerple related penis. Pesper. Whatever it was yesterday. Zerpy. And if that happens because you're drunk, that's called a wine zirple. Yeah. And if it's a, if it's just a zirple, it's getting, it's getting Garrett's penis stuck in your zipper. And don't even get me started on a purple zirple.

You don't want any of that. No, no. You don't want any of that. I can promise you that. Screaming purple zirple, yeah, no. Well, that's interesting. So what do you think? I mean, you know, reaching carbon goals and all that other stuff aside, like Germany, I know, made a bunch of changes after Fukushima, right?

That was the deal. Well, they, yeah, and that's actually where this the story came from and why I started looking into it is because on December 31st of this past year, Germany shut down three of the six plants. that they have left, and by the end of this year, they're planning on shutting down the rest of them. So by the end of this year, Germany is not going to have any more nuclear plants. And yes, in response to Fukushima, there was a ton of political action being made, and what's her name, Merkel, I think was at first against shutting down the nuclear plants. But it, you know, the public wanted it done. And so that ends up being what happened.

And there are other countries that are doing the same thing, going the same. direction, Belgium, Switzerland, they're all shutting stuff down. But then there's other countries that are trying to build up. France being a big one of them, they're one of the biggest nuclear generators in Europe. But it's all happening over there. And the reason that I think it's really interesting and important to look at is because Europe right now is supposed to be, it's who we always talk about as being like the shining examples of this Paris climate agreement. the one's taking charge and really trying to do something to reach these carbon emission goals by, you know, net zero by 2050. And if that's going to happen, it takes a, we have to have a good

mix of clean energy in order to do that. And renewable sources like solar and wind are not going to cut it by themselves. I believe, personally, I think my opinion is that I think nuclear needs to be a part of that equation. And if you're shutting them, down with no plans right now to build new ones, then you're not going to make that 2050 goal because even if you change your mind with whatever the next, I don't, different countries have different government setups, but whatever the equivalent of the next administration is, right? If you, even if you decide then, okay, we need to do that, it takes a long time to build a nuclear plant. And so you're probably not going to get it up by then.

And so it's really disheartening and it makes me second guess or question whether even over in Europe we're going to even get close to reaching those goals. Yeah. It's always the easy scapegoat to say, well, America's just doing whatever they do. But thank goodness Europe's focused on this or they got it taken care of. And then you're just like, oh, maybe they kind of don't or maybe they're not as interested as I thought they were or whatever. and that's a bummer, you know, it's more of a bummer, because I expect us to be resistant. Anytime anyone tells an American what to do, we always go, can't tell me what to do. That's what we do.

It's our natural weird thing. We always fight against the fight against it. It's the thing that made it, you know, in some ways you could say, well, it's the go get them spirit that got this country moving and got us going and we got to innovate this and do that and grow here and blah, blah, blah. But it bites us in the ass when when it's in our business. best interest, and we're like, you can't tell. We just start being rebellious children. And I hate it. And I do it, too.

We all do it. Everybody has whatever it is. But it's still annoying. Anyway. So I'm looking deep into that. And next week, it'll probably be what we talk about, the main thing we talk about on next week's show. Because, like I said, there's a lot of politics to it.

And we don't, it's a science show. It's not a political show. But there's certainly scientific answers to a lot of. of the questions that politicians are asking, like, about safety and, and whether wind and solar are options and stuff like that, you know? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, that makes sense.

More on that when all-around science starts talking about it, everybody, and they will, because that's what they do. Anything else you want to mention? Yesterday, the podcast that came out, we, the podcast being, I should say it out loud, is all around science We talk about science every week and what's going on in the news and just what's on our minds

and yesterday's episode that just came out was all about the episode's title We don't know how planes fly and it's actually in a funny kind of strange way that you might not have expected true physicists and aeronautics experts can't actually agree on how planes are

able to stay in the air. Really? Wow. They know they do. You'd think that would be kind of established. Like, all right, well, at least we know this. You think so, but they actually, there's, there's

a lot of debate on that and they haven't really been able to nail it down. Next up, magnets. How do they work? How do they work? They need to call the insane clown posse. They could figure that for him. I like parts of physics where we're still

confused. I think that's great fun. You know what I mean? Like, I like it when we haven't figured it all out because you know you gotta always have a goal you gotta have something to reach for can't know everything so may as well be...

Dice Tomato says yeah Dice Tomatoes says Bernoulli talking about the Bernoulli principle for planes we talk about that on the show so if you want to know

it's that only answers some of the questions so yeah you should check out the episode we talk all about what we wish we knew and what we don't know about how planes

actually stay in the air what I thought the term Bernoulli was a I think of. You're going to say hard drives, aren't you? Is that what I'm thinking of? You're thinking of hard drives. Yeah, because the, it's a, it's the, and you can correct me, this is basically what I remember from high school science, but if you've got a curved

wing, air travels slower over the top of the curve than it does under, and that's what causes lift. You got it backwards, but yes. Is it, okay, I'll be backwards. It's the other way, but still. That's what causes planes to get pushed into the ground. That's right. It slammed into the dirt.

Right, but it had to do with hard drives because hard drives function on a similar spinning hard drives. Bernoulli drives. Bernoulli drives were a thing in the 90s, 80s and 90s, and that's why we were thinking about that. That's exactly it. You did it. You found it. I found it now. Bernoulli Drive.

There it is. I had one of these. A scuzzy Bernoulli. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Good old Scuzzy Brunuli. That's awesome. High capacity removable distorage storage system.

All right. The woman I took to prom was scuzzy. Scuzzi Bernouli. She was a trip. You can hear all about it on film side. Sounds like a football coach to me. It does. It kind of does. Well, Bobby, as always, pleasure is ours to have you here. Bobby Frank's on Twitter and everywhere else you find them.

And, of course, don't forget the show, which is all around science, which you can get anywhere. You get your podcast. Have a fantastic week, dude, and we'll see you next time. Thanks, see you. Bye now. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe.

Maybe we'll see you. Okay, there goes. All right. Hey, we're almost done with the show. But before we go, we're going to eat some Japanese things because that's our commitment in life to try to get through these things. Take this. It's for you. It's food. Hold on. Hold on. Didn't that sound like David what's his name?

Patton, Patton, Oswald. Oh, David Cross. That's right. It is David Cross on Rick and Morty, right? Right. It was just weird watching Station 11 and seeing him on there and going, oh, yeah. Oh, no kidding. yeah. Are you done or how are you in that? I'm done. Finished it, loved it. You know. Piece of art, that show. Peace of art. Absolutely beautiful. Yes. I loved it. And you know what? I even like what's her name with Harry armpits. She can have Harry armpits.

Lori Petty? No, the other one, the main one. Oh, McKenzie Davis. Yes. Sure. She can not shave those any time she wants. I don't care. All right, what are we doing here? Let's do, what's in this tin? This thing. Tea. Oh, don't do that then. Yeah, we're not eating that. Um, no, really we're down to, we're just down to Kit Katz, I believe. Everything else we've tried. Yep, you're right. Uh, all right.

Uh, do you have one in my? So pick, uh, pick a couple of Kit Katz and we'll eat them. The one with dolphin meat in it. Yeah, yeah, gotcha. Let's eat the dolphin. That is, uh, the Save the Blue Ocean flavor. Mm, save the blue ocean flavor. Save the blue ocean.

Save the blue oceans. Is there anything to translate on this? Uh, it's all English. Oh, no. The bad, the ingredients. is on the big bag, so I'm going to scan that. It's a white. Brian's moved on to the big bag.

It's on the big bag. Check up my big bag. Oh, it is white. Okay. Yeah, there's a picture of it on the front of the bag. I haven't even opened my wrapper yet. Unexpected. Oh, it just smells like another one of those cooking cream flavored ones.

Maybe this is just that, but it's to help save the freaking... It could be. And we'll find out. Oh, yeah, there it is right there. AviTech John found it. I do like Aviate. Mike, John. Quick with the, quick with the finding stuff. No, he not only found that.

He's the one that figured out the D to Z letter word today. He was first with that. Oh, right. Dets. Yeah. He is no dits is what we've learned. Oh, look at that. There's a little sea lion there. And the, and the Ben, I only have dolphins on mine. But you got the, you got the full deal.

Oh. Is it a little fishy? It's a little, there's a little bit of a salty. Oh, yeah. Salted chocolate. Um, that's not bad at all. No, it's very good. Yeah.

What, um. Sweet and salty, yo. Yeah, let's see. Come on, focus. There we go. I like that better than just pure sweet. I just want to see the flavor on these things. I can't.

Ocean sea salt. Is that just it? Sea salt and the sweetness of white chocolate. So it's white chocolate and sea salt. Okay. Which is not really chocolate. What is white chocolate? forget. It's like butter and cheese or something. What is it? White chocolate is. Like,

what is white chocolate? It's like something that... It doesn't contain cocoa, right? But it's still, yeah. Okay, here it is. White chocolate is a confection, pale ivory in color made from cocoa butter. Oh, there's some cocoa butter. Coco butter. Sugar, milk solids, and some vanilla. And cocoa cheese. And I don't know why I said cheese. It is, let's see, dark chocolate. That's very good. Yeah, so it's, it's very good. Yeah, so It's cocoa butter, and it's just super not, in large quantities, it's not good for you. You don't want to eat that stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right, you got to say, you want to pull a second one out? Yeah, let's do two. Okay. What do you like? And also, Cleo says she has a story if we can pull her in after this. Oh, she has a story, does she? She does. I'll pull her in now so that she can talk to us while we do it.

While we eat chocolate. Yeah, I don't know what I have her on here as. Is it just under Cleo? Cleo, I don't have you on Discord. Yeah, I don't have you on Discord. I need you on Discord. So friend me. Okay, Brian, what do you think of this green one that looks like this? All right.

Okay. Finding that. All Japanese all the time. There's like a little igloo in the upper right corner and the two ends of the wrapper look like a twister. Okay, looking, looking, looking. It's like little twister balls, twister circles. And it doesn't have... And it's a Kit Kat.

Is it springy? Those are all pink and white. I will hold it up. A picture of a squirrel on it. Okay. Pocodots, yeah. Yeah, Poca dot ends. Can we do that?

I think we did that one last... Oh, did we? Yeah. Did we did? Oh, I don't remember. So I gave you multiples of... I think that is the same one we... Yeah, that is the same one we did last.

week, or a few weeks ago. Sorry. No, no, it's good. How about the pistachio one with the rat on it? Not a rat. Squirrel. Is that a squirrel or some other rodent? I don't know. It's a squirrel. It's a little red-tailed squirrel. Oh, he's adorable.

Pistachio. Ooh, look at the color of that. I love me some pistachio. Me too. You know, I'm going to tell you some, you can't say pistachio without me thinking of the James Bond movie where the guy eats pistachios. the whole time. Oh, yeah. Heim Topel. Yeah. He's throwing him up in the air

and catching him in his mouth. Yeah. Can't separate the two. It's impossible for me. Dr. Zarkov from Flash Gordon, too. That's right. And it's way up in the it's the one where the fortress is way up in the mountainer up on the impossible to climb thing. That is for your eyes only, I believe. Yeah, I think so.

Mmm. Ooh. How's a pistachio? Damn, dude. Is it nutty? It's good. Oh, that might be my favorite in a while. Oh. Oh, yeah. Fantastic. Oh, Japan. Japan.

What are you doing over there? Oh, my God. You might have weird earthquakes and horrible shutdowns of your power systems, but hot damn, your Kit Katz. Yeah, I want this one. Hubba. Hubba. Oh, is you going to call via the phone line? All right, hold on. Let's do that because I don't have run on Discord.

All right. Well, this is all going great. It's very improv here, folks. We're going to just make it happen. All right. It's the lines open. Hopefully it'll be her that calls. I'm not putting the number out there because she should know it, right?

Yeah, she should know it. Oh, it can wait another day, she says. Are we waiting? Oh, seriously? Really? That's what she says on the thing. Oh, she's going to call. No, Claire's going to call now.

No, don't call Claire. No, don't let Claire call. Now they're going to spam the line. All right, well, Cleo, you want to, oh, wait. Okay, I got a number coming in. Let's see who it is. Okay. Hi, who's this?

I'm supposed to be working. What are you doing? Oh, it is, Cleo. Gosh, dang it. I'm calling from Peculiar. Yeah, from Peculiar, everybody. Calling from peculiar. Yeah, give us your full address and we'll get it all taken care of.

Hey, what's going on? You have a story for us? What's happening? I did. I mean, you know, because my stories tend to be colorful, fair warning. Happy birthday, Claire, by the way. Um, so you were talking about, you've had a couple of people come on now talking about home security and protecting yourself and all this stuff.

Yeah. So, stories. When I was, let me say my early 30s, I had two kids at that point. Middle of the night, we had an alarm system on our house. Yeah. The alarm goes off. Okay. And I jump out of bed.

Yeah. Like you do. I, too, had a baseball bat. Yeah. I too had a baseball bat next to the bed. So I grabbed it. Yeah. and I grabbed the closest thing that I could to put on my head, which was a football helmet,

because we're chief fans. They were chief fans out here at the time my ex-husband was. Yeah, and if you're a chief fan, you always have a helmet near the bed. That's the rule, right? Of course, that's where you keep them, yeah. Okay. So I went creeping through the house at first, still half asleep, and the alarm is going off and going off, and I stop at the keypad, and I don't look at it, but I try to punch in the coat, and it won't go off.

So I'm walking around the house, and finally, I go down to the basement, And I think I hear something, so I yell at the top of my lungs, get the F out of my house, leave my kids alone, blah, blah, blah, blah. Wow. My ex-husband is asleep in the bedroom. Couldn't give a tinker's damn what's happening to me at the moment. Or the children, apparently. Burn the whole thing down.

He doesn't care. Yeah. So I come back up the stairs, and I hear the police cars coming, and I'm like, I don't know who's here, but hopefully they left the house. Yeah. And I realize at this point, A, that I'm naked, with a baseball, with a baseball bat and a football helmet on and as I crest the stairs

to go out back up to where the bedroom was to make sure everyone's okay the front door has been blown open by the wind and the police are coming down the road it gets better the police are coming down the road with the big old headlights on and there I am

naked football player nice in the front window naked football baseball player moment then the screen cuts to black and they do the intro for cops fantastic. Oh, God.

And the screen cuts to black and he goes, Bum, Bon, Bon, Bon, Bon, B, D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D- It is like the end of curve. Sorry, God. I slam the door, and I run to throw a t-shirt on. Meanwhile, the cops are pounding on the door

because now they've seen a naked psycho in the window. Yeah, they know. So I throw a t-shirt on, and I throw off the hat. Aaron probably just rolled over and farted. I don't even remember. And I run back to the front door, and I'm like, Hi, how are you trying to be cute? And they were like, you know, we saw somebody is everything okay.

The alarms from going off. Yeah, it looks like the wind blew the door open, but I was just on a, I was just on a naked tie raid, don't mind. That's awesome. Now, the two stories we've heard this week of people responding to possible break-ins. Everyone's naked all the time. Here's my question. Am I the weird one? I wear a pair like gym shorts, you know, clean gym shorts and a T-shirt when I sleep.

Is everyone else naked? Am I the weird one? Yeah. I'm wearing underwear, but that's all I'm wearing. But at least I'm wearing something. Yeah. I don't get it, man. It depends.

If the kids aren't here, I'm just free-balling it all over the house. Free balling it. During the day, I'm making phone calls to doctors. All my junk's hanging out. I don't care. I'm not getting on a Zoom call. You're not on Zoom. Yeah, what does it matter?

You're not on Zoom. Yeah, I don't care. Chat room's all. I'm asking your doctor about your meds, though, so you never know. Like, I'm not, I guess what I'm saying is I'm not like in genes. in a, you know, a freaking jacket or something. I'm not saying I'm dressed dressed, but I'm not like, I don't know, just not in there naked.

I don't know why. I mean, there's a full beaching happening at my house. Full beaching. All right then. The whales have reached the shore and we have crashed landed in peculiar Missouri. I feel like part of it is if I do, if I, if I slept naked every night, one of these nights, that's going to happen. And it's me with a bat.

with a helmet on. You know what I mean? Like, I don't want that. But nobody would be shocked if that was you, Scott. Nobody would be shocked. Well, nobody in this neighborhood. Oh, there's Johnson and his doodle. Yeah, Johnson and his doodle.

We're doodle in his Johnson. Either way, that works. All right. Well, there you have it. Oh, yeah, it's also really cold here. Thank you, KT. Data. It's freaking cold. It's not the middle of the summer.

You got to put a layer of something on. I'm telling you. All right. Keep that in mind. Cleo, it's a pleasure. I will insulate from here on out. All right. Say hi to your kids. We miss them all and we'll see you soon. See you.

Maybe one of the most covered Pink Floyd songs in my library, if not the most covered Pink Floyd song. Also, one of the greatest songs ever written in my opinion. I love that song. It totally is, yeah.
