Now please explain to me why you just didn't leave a text message like a normal person.
You a weirdo?
Okay, bye.
In the bushes.
Now.
This is the morning stream, and this is my boomstick.
Good morning and welcome back to TMS, the morning stream for Tuesday, February 15th, 2020.
I'm Scott, and he's Brian. Hi, Brian.
Hi, Scott. How are you?
I'm good. I'm better than yesterday, although I slept like garbage.
I don't know what's going on with my sleep patterns lately, but this is the weird thing.
It's kind of a grumpy ass yesterday.
But the night before I slept like a, like a perfect, it was a perfect sleep.
Like a baby.
Slep like a baby.
A baby, that's what they say.
Maybe they don't sleep very well, really.
I don't know why we use that term, because babies wake up, cry, bang on their crib, all that stuff.
I guess when they do sleep, they're like super sound, but you're right.
Yeah, slept like a cat.
Like cats, you watch a cat sleep.
And it's like, God, I wish I could.
I wish I get sleep like that.
Plus, don't cats need like 16 hours of sleep or some weird?
Something like that.
Yeah, something like that.
Well, anyway.
16 hours of sleep, eight hours of knocking stuff off of countertops.
But I slept like a, okay, a rock.
There you go.
Rock's never wake up.
Oh, rock is good.
Yes, like the rock.
I sleep like the rock.
18 chicken breasts and six hours in the gym.
I'm sleeping like the rock.
But yeah, like, so I don't know why that was a thing.
I should have been refreshed and great.
And then last night, slept terrible, just in and out of sleep all night.
The slightest noise woke me up, just weird dreams when I did sleep, all that kind of stuff.
And I'm in a fine mood today, so I don't know.
I don't get it.
Well, I'll take it.
Whatever the reason is, I'll take it.
Yeah, look, would you rather have well-slept Grumpy Scott or no-sleep happy Scott?
I think the latter, right?
I just could not be the Waldorf to your statler yesterday.
I just couldn't do it, Scott.
Oh, man.
these damn commercials with their cryptocurrency and their NFTs.
Yeah, I went old man yesterday a little bit, but I still hate it all, but whatever.
I know you do.
I'm in a better mood now.
And you can.
You can and you should.
I can and I should.
That's right.
Hey, welcome back, everybody.
We got a show to do for you.
That's our commitment.
That's our promise.
Yeah.
Yeah, we will complete the show today.
We won't just stop halfway through and leave you hanging.
There you'll find a beginning.
We're in it right now.
A middle, and then an end.
And then an end.
Yeah.
Now, if the power goes out or we have internet problems, that changes things.
Oh, crap.
I didn't even think about that possibility.
So that might happen.
I'm not saying it will.
Just saying it's happened before.
It could happen again.
The other thing is we almost didn't have a show.
I was supposed to have an appointment this morning.
They canceled last second.
So now we're here.
So I'm really happy about it.
But then after this, I got to go get an eye thing, an eye appointment I have right after the show.
And that's fine, except I had to.
push because of other appointments. I had to push play retro to today, which is fine.
Dunnways, cool. We're good. We're going to still do it. But I'm going to be, I didn't even
think about this. I'm going to be all dilated for that. So it's going to be me staring at the screen
going, I think that says video. Oh, video game. Okay. Great.
Well, they give you those cool one sheet plastic wrap around and sunglasses to put on your
face. Oh, the granny cataract glasses? Maybe. Maybe I'll ask for.
for a pair. We're going to the place
where, I don't know if she likes me saying
her name here, so maybe I shouldn't. But anyway,
a listener works there. So she's always very nice.
We always catch up about stuff. And I'll
ask her, she'll probably say, yeah,
here's a pair of 90-year-old
lady glasses. Yeah. I'll wear them
on the show. I don't have to impress
anybody. Yeah. And you say,
your clothes, give them to me.
Give them to me now. Your boots, your
jacket. What is he actually say?
He says, yeah, he just says,
you clothes, give them to me. Now.
I thought he said boots.
No boots.
Why have I had boots in my head and arnold?
Give me your pants and boots and pants.
Okay.
We have to like play that clip because there's some people that don't know what that is.
It's been too long.
We're referring to.
Do you have it handy?
I do.
It's right here.
Check this out.
Boots and pants and boots and pants.
It's an old commercial.
We played years and years and years ago.
Yeah, I was thinking you were going to play the Terminator.
But, yeah, I'm glad you played that one.
Yeah, that's the one that matters.
Yeah.
Was it Boots?
Oh, in T2, he says Boots.
When he's talking to Paxton.
That's right.
Hunker Paxton goes, give him to me now.
That's right.
Right before his demise.
Did Captain Kipper just give us the link right there?
I don't know.
That's what he does.
He does.
Yeah.
Captain Kipper and AV Tech, John.
Like, quick on the Google.
Oh, yeah.
The Google thing.
Oh, no, he gave us the T2 one.
Oh, yeah, this is the boots.
Let me zoom in here.
The HUD.
The, uh.
Let's see if I can find this part.
Yeah, here it is.
Check this out.
Since Captain Kippen went through the trouble, I will go through the trouble.
Sure, sure.
He's scanning him.
I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle.
I need your clothes.
Your boots.
So we were both right.
I was doing T1, you were doing T2.
Yeah, and together we met in the middle and watched T3 and then regretted it.
Too bad.
And regretted every second of it.
Too bad.
Sorry, Cristiano Loken.
All right, speaking of football, because yesterday there was football talk.
We got a couple of follow-ups, and one of them I wanted to read here from Ryan and Michigan.
First of all, Ryan and Michigan tells me a thing that I've always wondered, and now we know I'll get to that in a second.
But he says, Dear Stafford and Breeze, these are football references, players.
On yesterday's show, Scott asked if the people of St. Louis were happy, the Rams won the Super Bowl.
I can't answer that question, but I can tell you, by and large, the people of Detroit are thrilled.
Now he's going to explain why.
We, Michiganders, that's the part I was going to point out.
Oh, Mishanders, okay.
I always wondered, what do you call yourself?
If you're a Michigan resident, do you call yourself something else?
No, I guess it's Michiganers, or Michiganders.
Michiganers.
Oh, that's worse.
I like Michiganders.
Michiganers.
Then you sound like you're a goose gender.
Oh, you don't want to.
Yeah, you can't be a goose gender.
That's no good.
Right.
Nobody wants to be a goose gender.
We, Michiganers, watched him play for 12 seasons
wearing a lion's jersey.
We knew he was an elite quarterback
who would never get the recognition
he deserved while playing for the Fords,
the family that owned the Lions.
It's great to see him.
Is that true?
The Fords?
Is it the same Fords?
The Fords?
Is it the same Fords?
family? I mean, Michigan, if it, it seems like it could be, right?
It could be interesting. Yeah. I hope they're less racist than they're great. People are confirming, yes,
it is the same fords. Same fords. Okay. Henry's children. Are they less racist and
anti-Semitic than their great, great grandfather? I hope so. He was kind of an ass.
All right, let's see. They own the Lions. It's great to see him and a team that is so focused on winning. He can now be in the
conversation for who is the best quarterback playing today.
Us Lions fans are on the wrong side of an abusive relationship with our team.
It became a meme, but I know people who owned Detroit Rams shirts with the Lions logo sporting Rams horns.
It's sad, but it's probably the closest we'll ever get to Super Bowl in my lifetime.
Love the hobo, Ryan from Michigan.
Well, there you go, Ryan.
There you go.
Okay.
So, yeah, so some Lions fans happy, some Lions fans are not so much.
I imagine so, yeah.
Although, I mean, Detroit was pretty good in the late 90s, early odds.
Yeah.
What happened since?
What's going on?
You guys?
You had that crusty coach.
He had the cool mustache.
He looked like a buffer, more worked out version of Freddie Mercury or something.
Remember that guy?
Oh, yeah.
I forgot about that guy.
What was his name?
There's no way I'll ever pull that out of my hair.
I remember.
But they were good.
They seemed all right.
Oh, am I thinking of the Steelers?
I might be.
You know what?
I might be the Steelers coach.
Are you thinking of the Steelers?
Okay.
I might be.
So the Lions have never been good.
Okay.
Salt was Sal to saying Detroit was never good.
One playoff win my entire life and I'm freaking 55 years old.
So yeah.
So I think you might be thinking about.
I think I'm thinking of the Steelers.
Yeah.
So hold on.
What's the losingest team in the history of the NFL?
It's not the Lions.
It's got to be like the Browns or something.
I would think the Browns would be my guess.
They did have a good year this year, but for the most part, the Browns were.
How do you look that up, losing this team in the NFL?
Well, here we go.
Oh, here we go.
Who is the worst team in NFL history?
Okay.
Well, that may just be like one season.
Well, let's find out.
Worst team in the NFL record.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the lowest win rate, 0.397.
Oh, and 14 in 1976.
Yeah.
The Arizona Cardinals have the most loss rate.
uh worst team
but that doesn't um
that doesn't
it only takes into account one year right it doesn't oh here we go
every NFL team by historical winning percentage
how about that yeah that's good all right
I like it all right uh let's see here
uh bleacher report
gotta be Cleveland right
I would think so
Denver Broncos number 10
oh
uh in the first 17 years of so
they're a 0.533.
New York Giants is a point,
also a 0.533.
Oh, okay. So Denver,
actually, on this list,
showing up the lowest.
So they had a hard start
to what that sounds like, because they did fine later.
Yeah.
With those beginning years, maybe they're lower up.
Unless they're counting,
no, I mean, because they went up from there.
But then they're showing which franchises
just missed the cut.
Colt with a 528, Pittsburgh Steel's 529,
Kansas City Chiefs with a 532.
so oh I'm sorry so these are the top 10 Denver is number 10 this is not this doesn't list every anything below 10 okay oh I see okay well that's not so bad so Broncos are a little bit better than yeah they're not as bad as you thought yeah no kidding the L way years were strong though you guys you know you had your moment they were they were great and the Peyton years were also very good that's true that's true okay I found one that says who is the worst team in the NFL regular season and it's
It says here, it's a tie between the Detroit Lions,
ding, and the 2007, that was the 2008 Detroit Lions and the 2017 Cleveland Browns.
Worst teams in the regular season based on 43 year win rates, their record was zero and 16 that year.
So J.C. Calhoun also sent us a link, there's a Wikipedia article, list of all-time NFL win-loss records.
And these are current right up until today, right?
So this is, from the time that team started, first NFL season for that team, to now number one team, Green Bay Packers, with a win-loss percentage of 0.572, 782 games won, lowest Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a 0.402 since the team started in 1976.
Damn. Sorry, Tampa Bay. What are you doing down there?
Yeah, exactly. Surprisingly, I would think the Browns would be somewhere in the bottom five or so.
No, Browns since 1950, 4.9, I'm sorry, a 0.49, so almost half.
But number 20 in the list of 32 teams.
Oh, you won't like this number, though. Here's our final stat.
Who has lost the most Super Bowls, and it's a tie.
Oh, yeah. I know one of the teams in that time.
One of these is the Denver Broncos.
The other, weirdly, is the New England Patriots, despite them winning many, they have lost many more.
They've made it to a lot of Super Bowl.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So some of those winning years with your freaking goat quarterback.
I mean, you've got to kind of look at it as a, well, all right, how many times have other teams made it to the Super Bowl?
Sure, we lost, but, you know, we made it to the big game.
Yeah.
I guess the 2009 St. Louis Rams, now L.A. Rams were the worst team.
Ever. So they're at number 10 of the losingest, yeah, which is great because they just won.
So take that.
Yeah.
Take that.
Despite their peeps-looking pants, they were wearing stupid pants.
Hey, Scott, I'm a nerd. I don't care about football.
I care about movies. I care about the Oscars. What do we know about the Oscars? Anything new?
Let me tell you about this email I got from Edward Wendig.
Weedig? Weedig.
Wendig.
Would you say weedig? Would you say weddig?
Wedig?
I would say weddick.
Okay. That's good.
He says, this is in regards to Drive My Car, which you mentioned yesterday,
an Oscar contender, I suppose, that's hard to see.
Was this the one we were saying wasn't in full theater release or something?
It was in art theaters.
So limited release in art theaters, not even in full release in mainstream AMCs and Regals and stuff like that.
Well, he says this, since you were talking about Drive My Car in the February 14th show
and how it wasn't streaming, you'll be happy to know it's coming to HBO in March.
yeah March 2nd to be specific so um that first week of March west side story and drive my car
both on max so when i i'm sorry no uh um uh disney plus for west side story oh so that might mean
it might be one of their premium charge deals oh could be i don't think HBO's doing that so you
should be okay with the should be okay with drive my car i feel like it'll be fine with drive my car but
we'll see what happens with the west side story so um you know we'll get back from um california from
the trip to california yeah we'll watch those last two those last two movies and then start watching
uh oh no moon nights at the end of march there's something else that's the beginning of march that comes
back like while we're gone like oh well i guess we have to wait till we're back to be able to watch that
but i wonder what that is uh it'll come to me and i'll all all right i noticed the new uh the raised by wool
Season 2 has been trickling in, and I haven't watched any of it yet, but I really liked that first season, so.
Did you? Yeah, I started it, and I never finished it. Maybe I do need to go back and finish it.
It's a weird show, but I think I, I think the weird worked for me. And I, you know, a lot of people didn't like how it ended, but it ended kind of cliffhanger. And I'm like, well, yeah, it's a series. They're going to probably try to do more of these.
So, and the new episode's been getting good reviews. So yeah, I got to get in there.
Mm-hmm.
The last episode of season one was horrible.
I don't know, J.C. Calhoun.
I think it was all right.
It was okay.
It wasn't the greatest thing on the planet.
But it was okay.
It was all right.
You know, there are worse things on TV, is what I'm getting at.
Oh, also, I saw an episode of Euphoria last night that if a freaking Zendaya doesn't win an Emmy for her performance in this season, this is all broken.
She's so good in that.
My gosh, she's good in it.
And, you know, all the rest of the series, she's good in all of it.
But in particular, in these last couple of episodes, it's dealing with drug addiction.
She's incredible in it.
Like, I'm blown away.
If she's not nominated, then you got, this is all broken.
It's all busted.
Forget the Emmys.
Trash them, throw them away.
We're done.
No more.
Golden Globes, all of it.
She needs to win that stuff.
It's all broken.
It's all been proven.
Yeah, it's proven to be broken.
Yeah.
Broken bust.
so at some point i probably will break down and watch euphoria i mean it's you know you
included everybody that's uh watched it says yeah it's good yeah it's good but it's rough
it always preface it with that uh yeah heavy sigh like oh it's really rough but it's really good
and i'm not used to tv i normally just be the kind of thing i would bounce off of because i'm
like i just this is gross or whatever but something there's some some weird something there
All right, well, let's get to today's news.
We've got a whole slate of breaking news, everybody.
Yeah, so get ready because now you're going to be informed.
So here comes.
Check it out.
It's the Daily News brought to you by.
Atrin Rishi B, who says, I have a public health podcast, Healthy, Schmelfy,
focused on helping people make sense of what's going on in health news.
Past guests include jury who talked about having a healthy relationship with politics.
Tom Merritt, who joined me for Health Respective of the Twin Peaks Show.
That's crazy.
All episodes at RishiB.com.
That's R-I-S-H-I-B-E-E dot com.
Thanks for the Pluggerino.
Yeah, man.
Rishi, a great contestant from season one of America's Next Top podcaster.
Was season one, right?
Was that right?
Was it season one?
I think so.
Yeah, he was great.
Always a good guy.
That's a good sign that, you know, we've,
done so many seasons that they're all kind of blurring together it is right it means it's worked
out pretty well yep um i was gonna say something about oh twin peaks i don't know if i've ever said
this on the show okay i put it on twitter because i was reminded of it and i don't think i've talked
about it here which is weird because we've talked about twin peaks before i just never came up
sure we've talked about a lot but i went to twin peaks elementary school as a kid and it's uh yeah
we have a there's a place or part of the valley if you look you have to be in that part of the
valley, but if you look straight up to the eastern mountains, there are two Twin Peaks, literally
twins of each other.
And any other angle on the valley, it looks wrong, but right there, it looks like Twin Peaks.
And that's where the school is?
Yeah, so the school is like right down to the base of that, so you just walk out of the school
and you see Twin Peaks, so they call it Twin Peaks Elementary.
And in the school, we had a teacher named Lorry Palmer, Mrs. Palmer.
Oh, no way, really.
Yeah, not Laura, not Laura, but Lari.
So close, right?
How do you spell L-A-R-I-E? Right? Hold on. Okay. L-A-R-I-E, but L-A-U-R-I-E? No, it's like L-A-U-R-I-E, but L-A-U-R-E? No, it's like L-A-U-R-E. Let's see, there's lots of people with L-A-Names, right? Like Hugh L-L-A-U-R-I-E. Yeah, but that's L-A-U-R-E. Oh, maybe I've spelled it wrong. No, it is right, I'm sorry, L-A-U-R-E. On him, it's pronounced Lori, but is it... It's L-L-R-R-R-E- Your teacher was pronounced.
Laurence Lorry? I believe so. She was when she wasn't as so I had Mrs. Phipps. This this
Palmer lady was second grade. I was in third grade then so I didn't have her directly but she
we knew we knew she was there and just the other day we were going through some old stuff and I
found like all these kind of the equivalent of a yearbook at an elementary school you know
and sure enough she was in there but nobody's wrapped in plastic. Nobody died. It's fine. Ray Wise isn't
there. Everything's fine.
Yeah, we have, in Longmont, we have the Twin Peaks Mall, and my friend Donnie and I got dropped
off there on the way back from a sailing trip at Carter Lake and had to stay there overnight
to wait for the bus to take us back to Denver the next morning.
And, of course, the mall was closed, but we had firecrackers, and we found little cracks
to shoot firecrackers into the mall through the doors, through whatever openings we could
find.
And we kind of raised hell at the Twin Peaks Mall.
That's perfect.
No, that's what you're meant to do with that.
age. Yeah, at two, three o'clock in the morning. And it was, uh, we were horrible, horrible
kids. That's, and, uh, that's amazing. Did you ever get in any sort of trouble for it or, uh,
none whatsoever. Somebody did call the police. And so we did have a little like, we had to run, but, uh,
it wasn't like a, they're like right on our tail. It was like, oh, we heard the sirens. And so let's,
let's take off. Let's hike, as Donnie would say. Let's hike, Brian. Come on. Let's hike.
Oh, hike. We always said book it. We have to book it. Oh, book it. Yeah. Yeah. Book it out of
here, man. It's the fuzz. It's the fuzz. Yeah, yeah. We never said it was the fuzz, but
somebody did. It's the huskow. Come on. The huskow. Oh, my gosh. My dad used to say
who scow. We're going to end up in the who scow. Which was jail, right? Wasn't that the deal?
That was jail, yeah. Where does that come from? The who scow? Or the po-po. We're getting chased by
the po-po. Yeah, the poe-po's good. Cheez it. It's the fuzz. I've heard that. Cheez it. It's the
fuzz. Yeah. Beat feet. That's pretty good.
Well, now, or no, for a while in high school, it was, uh, oh, what did we say?
Oh, haul cheeks.
Got a haul cheeks?
Yeah.
Yeah, just meant move your butt, I guess.
Uh, here's your first story about the National Weather Service.
Exciting stuff, guys, exciting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're warning Florida.
All our Florida listeners, listen up.
Uh, residents there may see frozen iguanas falling from trees.
I love to frozen iguanas.
Yeah, oh man, it's the best thing
There's money in the frozen iguana stand
See, I could even make the joke
Because I went right into the development
I do like the you said banana instead of banana
Banana because I was like merging my iguana
Banana, I like it
Anyway, they say they may see some frozen iguanas falling from trees
As cold weather slams the East Coast
The story's a little old now
But the idea was that these creatures who are cold-blooded
Normally are fine and climbs like Florida
would get too cold and they essentially became
you know cryogenic at that point
right exactly like just just
Rigamortis settled in still alive
yeah still living still there
yeah it's like you know
Ellen Ripley in their inner little pod
just going to the next planet
heading to the prison planet
anyway if you see this
this happens by the way because
lizards become temporarily paralyzed from sub-freezing
temperatures
it says
at the main point of this
was don't throw them because you think they're dead
or put them in the trash or, you know.
Don't throw frozen iguanas?
Right.
Don't do it.
They said much of the state will remain mostly clear and frigid tonight.
Chances for scattered, isolated falling iguanas from trees.
According to the animal experts,
iguan are usually not dead when this happens.
Instead, the lizards were cold blood had become dormant
to protect themselves against plunging temperatures.
Their joints become stiff so they may lose their grip on branches,
which causes them to fall.
If you come across one, you're meant to leave it alone.
Don't be picking them up.
Poking them or anything.
Right, right.
And they said, let's see, the creatures can occasionally still bite people while coming out of their frozen paralysis.
The other article I read was literally like, don't let kids, like, throw them and, like, you know, because you see a dead thing.
Yeah, don't play with a frozen iguana.
BioCal says, this is all true.
my uncle's friend got a concussion from a falling iguana.
Really?
Yeah.
How big it?
Crazy.
That's either a big iguana or it fell a long distance.
From a high tree, yeah.
Yeah, like some kind of terminal velocity on the iguana.
That sucks.
How do you get?
How does that happen?
Holy crap.
I don't know.
Talk about wrong place, wrong time.
I mean, you go to the hospital and say, yeah, hit on the head with a falling iguana.
That kind of stuff is no joke, man.
They had like, uh, who was the news said the other day that, um,
Oh, from a palm tree.
Yeah, way up there.
That's almost terminal iguana velocity.
Yeah.
That thing almost reached.
So, so didn't, they found out what's his name, didn't die of a heart attack in the hotel he was in.
Oh, Bob Saggett.
Yeah, did he hit his head and went to sleep and.
Yeah, and didn't wake up.
So it was like the same as, same as what's his name.
We used to do the oxyclean.
That guy.
Billy Mays?
Same thing.
Oh, okay, yeah.
Hit his head in a plane or something.
and then some turbulence, went home to his hotel, laid down and died.
And they said it was like a concussion thing.
That sucks.
It does suck.
You know what?
If I hit my head real hard, I'm going to not go to sleep.
That's what I'm going to do.
Yeah.
Get checked out.
Just make sure you're okay.
Yeah.
I'm not going to blame these people.
You know, I'm not going to blame the concussion.
Sorry, let me say it again.
I'm not blaming Billy Mays or Bob Sagitt for not doing that.
I'm just going to use their examples and go, oh, you know what?
I'm going to try not to.
to fall asleep because that seems bad seems like a bad thing i'm going to go to the hospital
instead of go is it lupus is it lupus don't look it up on webmd either no just go to the right
thing don't ever look anything up on there no exactly go to uh you know what's pretty good is that
mayo clinic website if you're just looking for like uh what are the side effects of this
medication i was prescribed if you want to just find that and not go well it could be penile
cancer. If you're just looking for, you know, oh, it caused dry mouth. Okay, thanks. And then leave.
That's a good website for that. I like it. Okay. It was respectable. He had multiple head skull
fractures. What? Is that true? Really? Citation needed platypus surprise.
Platypus surprise. I did not read that. I didn't, I had no idea. That makes it sound like he got
beat up or something. Yeah. Because why would you just, you're not going to have multiple head
fractures from bunk in your head
on a cupboard or something in the hotel kitchen.
All right, well, we'll find out later.
Yeah.
Moving on to this story, the Dutch, the Dutch are in the news.
Okay. What are the Dutch doing? What are the Dutch up to these days?
No good as usual.
Some Dutch organizers plan to throw eggs at Jeff Bezos's
mega yacht.
I can't quite decide how I feel about this.
I think part of me wants to say, yeah.
And then part of me are like,
I probably shouldn't do that.
They'll probably get in trouble.
Anyway, the Amazon owner Jeff Bezos gets his $500 million mega yacht in June.
It may come primed in the egg yolk more than 1,200 Dutch protesters.
Oh, wow.
That's a lot.
That is.
Yeah.
It's like one of those naked photoshoots they always do.
You know the ones I'm talking about?
No, I don't know what you're talking about.
There's always like a Dutch photo shoot?
Well, I don't know if it's the Dutch, but there's always like some European group of like 1,000 people.
They're all naked on a beach.
they're all laying down or something, and then some guy's taking pictures.
There's always something like that going on.
J.C. Calhoun, I'm counting on you, buddy.
You just said somebody taking pictures at a nudist beach is what happens.
Well, maybe, but it's like all planned, and it's meant to be art.
And I don't know why they do it, but they keep doing it.
Anyway.
Real flash mob.
Yeah, true flash mob, the flashest of moms.
Wieners out, I say.
Let's see, 1,200 people.
They organized to shell the big boat with eggs when it passes through the most, or the city
of Rotterdam. That's where
a historic conning-shaven
bridge is. Or
might, I'm sorry, might have to be dismantled
so Bezos's a 400-foot yacht
vessel thing can get through there.
Oh, geez. That's lame.
Find another way. Don't get
a boat that big or find another way.
That is reason to egg
his boat, right? Oh, we have to take a part
a bridge so that he can come through.
I'm starting to be pro-egg here.
Are you? I am. Now I'm on the side of the eggs.
Yeah, I'm on the outside. The Dutch eggs have got it right.
Let's see. The Dutch city, let's see where is it? Oh, okay, the nearly centriole bridge.
So it's almost 100 years old, 131 feet above water level, which may not be high enough for Bezos's trio of masts to pass under safely.
I say break the masks and buy new ones, you billionaire freak.
Yeah. Just let out some air out of the bottom of the boat so that it sinks a little bit.
And like the tires, you know, when the truck gets stuck under the bridge and the kid has the,
the bright idea to let some air out of the tires so the truck can pass through.
Dude, I'm ready for this to be egged.
I want to egg it.
I want to see it.
I want to see some eggs.
Yeah, I wonder if this probably hasn't happened yet.
I don't know what the date was on this.
Well, anyway, let's see here.
Dutch city agreed to dismantle the historic bridge to make room for his super yacht,
calling all Rotterdam's take a box of rotten eggs with you.
And, oh, they just, they want rotten eggs, do they?
How do you make sure you get those?
That's tricky.
I don't know.
buy them a week before
in Rotterdam you've got rotten eggs
Rotter eggs
Rotter eggs
Rotter eggs
Throw them in mass
at Jeff Super Yacht
when it sails
through the Heff and Rottingham
they say on their Facebook group
The heff is how locals
know this bridge
It was built in 1927
Rotterdam was built
from the rubble by the people of Rotterdam
and we don't just take that apart
for the phallic symbol
of megalomaniac billionaires
protesters continue
on Facebook. Not without a fight, they say.
Geez. I don't know. Kind of pro-eg. I think I'm in.
Kind of them, too. Yeah, exactly. It's like, you know what?
You, uh, if you're, if you're driving cross country and a Tesla, you map out where
your, your, your charging stations are. If you're driving, driving your new mega yacht
through, uh, Europe, you figure out which bridges you can get under and you, you adjust
your roadmap slightly. I agree. I'm, I'm team egg here. Uh-oh. J.C. Calhoun.
See Calhoun sticking up for Bezos. What does he say? I hate to stick up for the rich, but this isn't his fault. The company built it there and they knew they would have to do this. So if you're going to be mad, blame the company building it. It's all the same problem, though.
Well, hold on. So, but they're building, okay, so they're building it in a place where it can't get out without dismantling. There's got to be another direction it can go, yeah? I would think so unless it's trapped in some sort of, you know, one way inlet or something and they can't get.
any other way.
Oh, if that's the case, then that's, that's, it's worse.
That's worse, right?
The company is like, yeah, we'll build you or make a yacht.
We'll make it so big that you can't get it out.
Here's what you do.
You egg the yacht and then you keep moving down the road and you egg the place that made it.
And you egg the manufacturer of the company, the yacht builders.
Yeah, this is ridiculous.
Have a normal yacht, Jeff.
So here you go.
Half build the yacht.
Get it past Rotterdam and then build the rest of the yacht.
Yeah.
A $500 million yacht.
Yeah.
Now, I know that's pennies for this man.
I, you know, I say this, it's easy to say it.
I just, I would hope that I would, that that's, that just seems insane to me.
Why do you need that?
Like, to what end do you need that?
You could have a thousand yachts in every port in this world, and they're all super mega nice yachts.
They don't have to be this one.
Neh.
I don't know, man, rich people in their money.
Um, moving on.
Yeah.
Because I don't want to talk about him anymore.
Stupid yacht.
Stupid yacht. penis, penis rocket yacht.
Uh, that yacht, okay, if the yacht's a big penis, then maybe we can talk.
Let's see how that looks.
There you go.
There's a picture of it, by the, Captain Kipper just posted one.
That is an insane link that's kind of broken.
Hold on.
It is a crazy, I mean, that's nuts.
Like, they're building it right in the middle.
It almost looks like they're building it in a residential neighborhood.
Yeah, what?
Because that looks like their houses on either.
Oh, that's not where they're building it.
Is that just them moving it?
Is that dry dock?
Oh, I see the water.
No, there's water in anything, yeah.
That's 500 million?
Okay.
I believe it.
I think it's gross.
I mean, I'm sure it's nice.
Nobody needs that much boat.
Even the Roy's.
Even Kendall and Shiv.
None of them need that much boat.
Nope, too much boat.
Greg.
Greg Eaton his.
drinking his
dishwashing liquid and saying
this isn't good?
Yeah, yeah.
And the worst part is when you get on that boat
and it's just Jeff Bezos
and people he thinks are his friends
because they never are.
But that boat will be full of that
and then you'll just hear somewhere
in the core of the boat somewhere
you'll always hear
because Jeff Bezos can't laugh
like a normal human being.
That's why you'll hear that.
I have not been programmed to laugh.
Him and Marissa
a mire down there having a party
money money money all right
you're trying to start up a
Yamaha
why a Yamaha
why a Yamaha in particular
why did that make because it's the only thing
I could come up with at the spot
I like it that's a good one
it's my
it's perfect it's funnier because it's funnier
because it's funnier because it's
funnier and I don't know why
You name a product and it just instantly adds a little bit of funny too.
I love that.
It's got to be the right one, though.
If you just said Honda, it's not as good as Yamaha.
It's not as funny as Yamaha.
Three syllables are funnier.
Yeah.
There's some comedy lessons here, everybody, pay attention.
Yep, yep.
All right, moving on to this story about Peloton.
Sure.
They're kind of in everyone's poopy eye right now.
No one's happy with them.
They really are because everybody on sitcom, everybody on TV is dying on a Peloton.
Yep.
it's not just your uh your your your your your sex in the city man sex in the shitty did you watch
the full thing did you see the no didn't watch any of it oh okay you kidding me i haven't watched
anything since uh the finale of the original show and that was even under duress but no movies
or anything like that since how come uh why did i think oh is it because Tina wants it to watch
it or maybe i was thinking of somebody else um did randy say he watched all those oh you know what
that was it that was yeah he was he was saying he should and i'm like yeah really should we yeah no
there's i have a lot of other things to watch before i get to that uh blank blank tv screen uh me i'd
immediately catch up on blank tv screen yeah right before i get uh i have a problem with the name
to start with where i'm just already kind of boycotting it i just hate the name not sex in
the city but the just like that just like that yeah i hate that yeah because that's
sounds dumb when you talk about it. Sam Jane says it wasn't Randy.
Who was it that was talking about this?
Oh, I swore it was Randy. Somebody was raving about it to us.
It was somebody that, that, Sam Jane says he watched the old one.
But didn't somebody that we had on the show?
We'll nail this down. It's one of the people in this room and nobody's leaving this
room until we identify the killer.
Yeah, somebody who was physically here on the air with us said, oh, you really should watch it.
it's great it was not done away no way it wasn't done away he doesn't care about that stuff red
fraggle was amy was it you uh jury wasn't here so no can't be jury he would he would he would not
tom wouldn't uh would be tom definitely not tom i've heard bobby bobby bobby did you do it was it you
huh no i don't know i still but we both remember somebody saying that the new one that they watched
the new one oh 100% yeah 100% for a second
I was thinking it was you, but now that you said,
when you said Randy, I immediately went,
oh yeah, right, right, right.
It was not Stephen.
It was definitely not Daryl.
He hasn't been here in a while.
I don't remember.
And I, you know,
the only other thing I could think of is if somebody that
came on the show as a contestant said it,
but we'd remember that.
Yeah, we'd remember that.
Is it sex in or end the city?
Sex and the city.
And the city.
Yes.
All right.
I'm glad I know that.
Because you could have.
sex outside the city it's just sex and the city oh okay it's and the city the city and the city
the sex being kim control pretty much right right she was the sex one so now and just like that
she's not there and just like that just like that she's not invited to do mannequin three that's right
can't wait all right anyway back to peloton they have they have laid off 2800 workers
and uh this is what they're offering of a severance a one year subscription
to the Peloton service.
Oh, good for you, but you still have to buy their machine.
So we'll give you a free one-year subscription,
but you will need to buy a Peloton machine on your way out.
We'll give you a 20% discount,
or I don't know if they do or not.
They laid off 2,800 people.
Part of their severance is a 12-month subscription
to the company's fitness services.
John Foley and exercised by company's co-founder
announced the layoffs on Tuesday
in a bombshell message
in which he also said he'd be stepping down as CEO.
As I recently shared, that we have been in the process of reevaluating our costs
across the entire organization to ensure we are appropriately structured for the post-COVID landscape.
The post-COVID landscape.
Post-COVID landscape.
I don't like that name.
It's dumb.
Basically, they're saying, yeah, now that everybody's going back to work and going outside and doing other things,
we're not selling as many bikes.
Yeah.
I feel like he's, I feel like maybe Peloton.
is kind of full of shit generally you know i don't know okay all right let's let's analyze this
yeah let me get into why so okay i always had a feeling when i would see like peloton ads yeah
it was just a little too excited it reminded me of i know it's not related to this but it reminded
me of a multi-level marketing thing i just had that vibe around it of like oh well you're not good
unless you're Peloton good
and you better have a live coach
on a TV screen talking to you
and if you don't do that
then what are you even doing
it's not even exercise
if you don't have it
there were just something kind of
Jimbroughy
if you don't do it this way
you're doing it the wrong way
kind of vibe to it
and that vibe always
makes me suspicious always
just I always like
something's weird about you
like if you're coke
you're selling coke
people buy coke
you're just buying coke
and they're showing people
on the commercial smiling
and enjoying Coke.
Yeah, but there's something about this one.
But what's different about Peloton?
I don't know.
There's something about like that lady, remember that controversial commercial commercial
with the lady that was like trying to make her husband happy?
Right.
And she's like all like, oh, here, my husband just bought me a Peloton and I'm going to lose weight.
And then it's like different videos of her losing weight on the Peloton.
That's what it is.
It's Coulty.
Captain Kipper nailed it.
That's what I'm feeling.
I'm not saying it is.
I'm just saying that's the feeling I got.
and so to me
the marketing team
the device itself like
oh I'm sure it's fine
I'm sure it's fine
all that okay
it's probably good hardware
and you know I don't I haven't used one
my sister has one
yeah I'm sure it's fine
I have the makeshift Peloton
I have a $200 spin bike
a place for my iPad
a big screen in front of me
where I put on Apple Fitness Plus
and that's all I need
I went a $30 cadence
a $30 cadence monitor
so that
that I can put that on the pedal and know how fast I'm peddling.
Oh, that's cool.
I didn't know that was even a thing.
That's neat.
It is.
I actually just got it because, well, little, little information here.
Getting ready for the MS-150 this year.
Tina surprised me with a new bike.
Oh, nice.
Yes, a very nice one.
And I'm going to be using that for training.
But while it's cold outside, I got to get to.
training on the actual
indoor spin bike.
Yeah, yeah, that's the way it works.
Back into it. I was back into it.
Oh, the Oculus would be great, but
yeah, you got to have the rubber
the rubber thing on them like that.
Oh, yeah. You know what I ended up getting
for mine? Check this out.
What'd you get? This was a life changer
for sweaty games or things that make you move a lot.
Yeah, and that sort of thing.
The rear or the big, like,
misty um you hear that oh look at that yeah it's like they had undectal nightmare yeah kind of
kind of also you're active because you know you're swinging your head and around you don't want
to fling the uh that thing right off oh that's 100% yeah like anything including stuff like
beat saber is if you really want to get moving in there the other one had a tendency the other
strap had a tendency to kind of droop down on my face and I hated it sure um this literally like
vice grips it to me and um
You can get a little too tight, so you've got to be careful.
But it's good.
I like it.
Yeah.
I like it.
It was only 30 bucks, so it wasn't too bad.
Very cool.
All right.
Anyway, so they're going to do this.
And, yes, CrossFit is what it reminds me of.
Yeah.
CrossFit has this.
CrossFit very, very much culty.
Like, I can see, and I get parallels with Peloton.
Yeah, yeah.
I like your setup.
What you're doing, it seems more like my jam.
Yeah.
I'm just so.
And I bet I get this with Pelot.
I get this with no matter what service I'm using.
But, God, those people who do the trainers that you have on these things,
they're what's your face from planes, trains, and automobiles.
I just want to say, wipe that rosy-effing smile off your rosy-effing face.
Yeah, they're a little...
Tell me how fast I need to pedal.
Play me some spice girls and just shut up.
They're human stock photos is what they are.
You know what I mean?
Exactly.
Like tiger catalog faces with the headset on going, how may I help you?
It's like that.
Yes.
I don't need you to tell me to find my best self or visualize on, you know, cycling in Hawaii.
I can do that on my own.
I don't need you guys to tell me to do that.
Just say, all right, we're going 85 RPM right now on the pedals and increase your resistance to moderate.
And da-da-da.
That's all I need.
Just tell you what you need.
We know you can do this.
like okay just calm down and tell me what i need to do yeah i you know what here's where i'm at in
this post-covid landscape here's what i have less patience for than anything anymore and i think
part of what was making me grump yesterday was some stuff that i was dealing with that nothing to do with
the show but stuff that just bugs me i am not interested in anything artificial anymore
i don't i don't want fakeness i don't want forced smiles i want realness in my life like anything
else just seems, well, I agree, but some people, some people are fooled by a smiling Peloton lady.
Oh, I can't, I'm not. I see it and go, okay, I don't even know you, calm down. You hate what you're doing, probably. Why are you doing it? Like, I don't, I don't know if they are or not, but it just feels disingenuous and I don't like it. I'd rather have, like, warts at all, man. Like, that's where I'm at. That's my mindset these days. I don't want any more artificiality in my life, except in video games. I like artificial reality.
in video games. That's cool.
Like, I'm getting that.
That's good artificiality.
Yeah, I like fake stuff in video games.
I'm getting that, I got to get it for review, but also I want to play it.
That Forbidden West comes out this week, and got to get my hands on that.
Aloi shooting robot dinosaurs.
Oh, cool. Yeah. Oh, right, right, right.
Yeah. And the Lego has a new set, by the way, based on that tall platformy-headed
Tallneck, I think it's called.
Oh, yeah, Tallneck, but the one you had to, you know,
Yeah, you had to rope up there the first time or whatever.
Yeah, and then, yep, they have a new Lego set based on that, which is crazy.
That's what I saw floating around Twitter or something.
I saw a photo and I went, oh, wait, what is that?
And they flipped past too fast, and I didn't bother going back.
And that was it.
Yep.
That's cool.
That was it. That's what it was.
Oh, you know what it was.
It was Shojo Beat posted something with giant, giant SpongeBob eyeballs is like to say, oh, wow.
And it threw me.
It threw me.
Really? Okay. All right.
Anyway, good job. I don't know if she's in there now.
All right. Well, anyway, Peloton, get your shit together.
Moving on.
American Airlines.
They're an airline here in America.
So something special in the air is what I hear about them.
Is that what they do? Does that they promise?
I think that was them. We're American Airlines.
Something special in the air.
Right?
Does that, am I misremembering?
Or is that?
I might be it.
I don't know.
It sounds like a smell in the air.
Doesn't it a little bit?
It does.
I mean, I don't think they used it.
We flew American coming back from Ireland.
So I don't think, I don't remember hearing that at all.
So I don't think that's their current slogan.
Well, they got a little raucous.
They got a little.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah.
This is pretty intense.
American Airlines flight attendant strikes passenger on the head with a coffee pot who tried to breach cockpit the cockpit mid-flight.
Yeah, dude, you don't do that.
Just use a frozen iguana.
I hear those can give you a concussion.
I'm going to order the frozen iguana next time I'm at...
Next time, next time I'm at the Tiki Bar in Vegas.
I'm ordering me a frozen iguana.
It sounds like a real drink, doesn't it, a little bit?
Oh, look at that.
Who found?
Somebody found the...
There's video.
No, not the coffee pot, but the American Airlines...
Oh, well, let's hear it.
The old American Airlines slogan.
Let's hear it. Why not?
Okay.
It's how close I was.
At first glance, all airlines
may appear to be the same, but one gives you a special way to fly.
An airline so large it carries over 30 million people a year, yet so personalized, you can reserve
your seat a year in advance.
Okay, I'm going to skip ahead.
We have the seat you won, Mr. Martin.
Welcome aboard.
Something special in the air.
You're 100% correct, Brian.
Thank you very much.
Nicely done.
Nicely done.
I mean, it was the 1980s.
I don't know what their thing is now.
Yeah, it's probably...
We're American Airlines.
We're not Spirit.
Don't get us confused with Spirit or JetBlue.
One mile at a time.
Spirits joining with Frontier to make a super bad airline.
Yeah, it's going to be great.
It's going to be an airline that takes away everything that's good
and still tries to sell you a credit card.
It's going to be perfect.
Great.
Frontier it, they'll call it.
Spruntier it.
Spruntier it.
Spruntier it.
Their new slogan is,
One mile at a time.
That's the American Airlines, one mile at a time?
Their current one, yeah.
They even have the URL, they have one mile at a time.com where they...
Oh, jeez.
That's horrible.
Yeah, I don't think I like it.
It makes it sound like they're slow or they're going to nickel and dime you along the way.
Yeah, it does.
I'll go another mile?
I'll have another 20 bucks.
Yeah.
Claire asks, this is United okay.
That makes me think she's got United to the States in a month or two.
Yeah, United is fine.
United's okay.
I had a really bad experience with them, like, 20,
years ago, but it was 20 years ago, so I can't hold that grudge forever, but they, boy, they
made my life miserable. It involved Denver even, the Denver International. Oh, boy. Oh, right. And
the gates being on opposite sides of. Yeah, and them effing up my ticket so bad that I had to run
with a seven-year-old. Oh, it was the worst. That was one of the worst days of my life. Because we were
already delayed and we were stuck in New Orleans, and New Orleans, the New Orleans airport that you were
just in. Yeah. Yeah. There was a bad
storm, not hurricane level, but a really bad tropical storm that was pounding the place
and they wouldn't let us take off. And so we were supposed to be there an hour. We were there
like six, seven hours. And the roofs were leaking. They had big rubber garbage cans catching
water everywhere. And it's just me and my little girl at the time. And we're trying to get
home. And when we finally get out of there, we're like, okay, we're going to Chicago. We're heading
to Chicago and they're like, uh, ladies and gentlemen, we are diverting from Chicago. There's a snow
storm so now
Chicago's no good
so they routed us like
three or four times
of different things
got to Denver
but with only like
five minutes to make
your next connecting
it was a nightmare
and they screwed up our tickets
we had to run all the way
one end of that horseshoe
to the other end of that horseshoe
twice or something
missed that flight
barely made it on the other one
and the whole thing
it was almost like a 20 hour
or it was the nightmare
it was a nightmare
I think the DFW I think is
the
shoe. We're like a, um, we're like a T basically with a bunch of crosses. So it's like you've got
tunnel and a train in the middle and then three parallel concourses that if you, if you don't
catch a train when you need to catch a train, you're waiting. And it's not like, um,
Atlanta where if you miss the train, you can just walk to the next terminal. You're stuck.
So this is, so this isn't like the, but it's, it is the one they say is,
shaped like a penis. Well, I guess a T is kind of
a penis. Right?
Third Eagle always said that.
Third Eagle was saying swastika. Wasn't he that a shape like
a swat? Oh, no, he was saying something about a penis.
I think he... There was something
swastika about it, too, that
there was
something about a wiener.
That's like his greatest hits, right?
I mean, it is the...
And he was a very
famous and evil, actually.
Pagan King. No,
it's not it. Oh, let's see here.
The gay agenda.
The gay agenda.
No.
I don't know where it is.
Yeah.
I can't find it.
I thought I recorded a thing about it, but I guess I didn't.
Yeah.
So no, it's like, you know, our current airport, not horseshoe, just like a train line in the middle,
and then three terminals coming off of that.
And again, if you're changing planes and it requires you to go from one terminal to the
Your only way to do it is via train.
And if you, if the train doesn't come for a while, you are stuck there for a bit.
It's nightmarish.
It was a bad time.
If you got time and you're just chilling, it's fine.
No problem.
But if you're in a hurry, oh my gosh, dude.
God.
I got a crying seven-year-old.
Your line is smart and puts its connecting flights in the same damn terminal.
Yeah.
My, Taylor's little, but she was so upset.
Oh, my gosh.
Never forget it.
All right.
Anyway.
Oh, yeah.
So this lady hit her in the head.
Oh, yeah.
he was he was just an unruly passenger probably didn't want to wear a mask I'm guessing he stormed
worse he stormed the cockpit he was trying to get in there and uh okay so and they had four
passengers trying to contain the dude and the lady hit him in the head of the I love it that's
good thinking on her totally uh yep totally legit don't let him go to sleep though you might
have a concussion and we don't want that all right we're going to take a break when we come back
after the break we'll have Bill Duran here
and also Bobby will share some
science with us. I also have a surprise pop email
for Bobby
that I'll read to him when he gets here. Yeah, kind of crack me up.
Anyway, that's all coming up next.
But before it, we need a musical thing.
Do you have one?
I do. How about something from San Diego?
Surf, Skate Punk's Wanted Noise.
They're premiering a new video and single
for the song called Clench.
They have a new album coming out
called Next Generation. It's coming soon. I don't have a date on that. But this is their brand
new single. And if you wanted some rock folks, surf, skate punk rock, here you go. Here's
Wanted Noise and Clench.
But your tail
Did you hope to bleed
This bedroom's filled with oaths and dreams
That would never cross our minds
Take it all in the memory
Of hopeful times
Now I shredding my dream
So I crunch my kids in mind
I'll be waiting for you here
The moment it's end right
Stay close, don't fear
This is just not your time
Time has come to greet the green
He took me down beneath the sea
It clasped my lungs and hopes I drown
All alone in my room
I clench my fists and remind myself
In anger bills to crush the soul
I grew from dust to desire to fight
Wake up, hold on, good luck, to get a hug,
so come on, hold up, there's more to life that you can grow from
Wake up, hold up, hold up, get got together,
all the else, so come on, hold up, hold up,
there's more, the life that you can't.
I'll be waiting for you here.
The moment is right
Say close, don't fear
It's just not your time
I'm going to be able to be.
Pull it up to brush it up until brush us down.
wiggle it and then sharpen it
just like you would
or a knife wiggle it
Maybe you ought to think about it
It from hell's heart
I podcast at thee
This is the morning stream
All right we're back everybody
That song once again
That song again was clenched
the band Wanted Noise from their upcoming album, Next Generation.
Nice.
I like that kind of music.
Wiggle it.
Wiggle it.
Wiggle it.
I found a great Bob Ross collection where he just says weird little things.
Oh, that was, I did not catch.
I don't know why I didn't recognize that was Bob Ross.
Of course it was Bob Ross.
Yeah.
Like wiggle your brush.
Make it sharp.
Wiggle it.
Wiggle it.
Wiggle it.
Somebody to make a song out of it and call it wiggle it.
And we're in.
Weiglet it real good.
Beet, beat, beat, beat.
Oh, my gosh, that commercial.
All right, here is this, this right here.
Your bat caves open there, Bill.
It's Bill Duran joining us as he often does.
Most every Tuesday he's in here talking about the world of makers and making things.
Bill, welcome back.
Good morning, friends.
Happy to be here.
Oh, that's good to have you, man.
I hope you had a good week.
We're excited to hear whatever it is you've got cooking.
What's going on?
It has been a really good week.
I've been working on a project for a while that I'm really excited about.
It'll be done soon.
I'm working on a course, a video course, on Fusion 360, on 3D modeling stuff.
Nice.
I don't know. Have either of you ever tried to dive into a CAD program like that?
For sure. Yeah, I've done, and I like Fusion 360 the most, probably.
But I tried TinkerCad and I tried AutoCat and Fusion 360 was my tool of choice.
But if I don't use it for a long time, I forget all of the, like, how do I,
what it was called when you
curve the edge
oh what is that
called um that would be a
phallenging fillets yeah
fillets and chamfers
champers is the word yeah
chamfer
that's what I yeah
so 360s like one of their newer
things for the auto desk
people right that's one of their new
it is yeah I've actually
had a long
history with auto desk
I learned
auto or AutoC
12 when I was 10
It was on my mom
My mom brought her computer home from school
She's a teacher
It had AutoCat on it
And at 10 I was like
Yeah
I'm gonna learn AutoCad
And I did
It was really handy
It's still kind of
Let's see
360 by itself
$495 bucks a year
That's a lot
Fusion 360 with NetFad
You're going to pay 14 grand a year
So maybe just get the 360
So here's the great thing about Fusion.
And one of the reasons why it's become my default program to use.
If you're using it for personal use, it's free.
It's free.
There are a couple of limitations.
They don't seem to be that big of a deal.
It's not a big deal for me.
So if you can look up Fusion 360 for personal use,
you'll send you to a web page.
You just have to make an account, give them a little info, and you can use it for free.
You do have to re-up it every year, but it continues to be free.
Like a three-click re-uping. Yeah. It's easy. Super simple. But also, like I said, I've used a ton of other things. Maya, Blender, Free Studio Max, all of those. I like Fusion 360 for what I do. So I'm writing this course. I'm filming it. It's a video course. And if you open the interface to Fusion, it can be a little daunting. I'm specifically covering only the things I use to make.
make props. Very basic stuff. This is, this course is designed for people who have never used
it and they want to get into it and it will just guide you through only the things I use to make
props. And one of the very first lessons doesn't even have anything to do with Fusion. One of the
very first things is collecting reference images. And collecting good reference images can be an
important step for any creative endeavor, not just 3D modeling props. That's what I wanted to talk about
today. Oh, awesome. Yeah, this will apply
to 2D artists and everybody.
We used to keep these things in the 80s called
morgues. Brian will remember this.
Yeah, yep. And what that meant was a
vanilla folders full of magazine,
shots, and
yeah, it was like kind of a nightmare, actually. But at the
time, we thought it was super cool. And now we
get lazy and use Google image searches and things.
Yeah. Well,
my collection of reference image
is all digital now, but I
imagine it is just as much of a nightmare.
None of the images are named correctly.
Takes up a lot less desk space, I'll tell you that.
That's true. That's good.
That's true.
So obviously, if you're going to recreate a film prop, you need photos of said film prop
so you know what it looks like.
But if you're making something from scratch, either a sculpture or physical object of some
kind or a drawing of some kind, your referenced image can serve as inspiration.
But also, it's great to collect images of specific elements of a thing.
So, if you see a cool texture, or you want to recreate a cool texture, or you see a color scheme that you really like, or a composition that you really like, or any of the elements of art, let's say.
Sure.
Collecting, either going out and taking your own photos of things like that or collecting them from the internet can be really, really handy when you're trying to nail something.
You can go look through your library and go, oh, yeah, that's what I was going for and then try and recreate it.
Nice.
Does Fusion 360 have a way that, like, you've got to reference material, great shot of a lightsaber hilt, for example.
Can you put that into the background, like basically on one of the planes of Fusion 360 so that you can trace that shape and then you can kind of rotate or you can?
Okay, cool.
I'm glad you mentioned that because I did exactly that in my course.
I did Luke's lightsaber from Return of the Jedi.
Oh, funny.
Okay.
There are plenty of reference images out there on the internet.
And what Fusion has that I love is they have, it's called a canvas,
but you just take a JPEG, slap it on there,
throw it in your scene on a flat plane.
And then they have a way that you can calibrate it.
So by calibrating, you click on two points in the image of known distance.
So, for example, Luke's lightsaber is 29 centimeters long from pommel to the tip.
Not the blade, just the handle.
Yep.
So I click on the bottom of it.
I click on the top of it and I say 29 or 290 millimeters and I hit enter and it rescales the image for me dead on.
It's so good.
That's great.
One of my absolute favorite things.
You can also make the image a little transparent so you can see through it.
You can flip it horizontally and vertically.
You have a lot of options there.
It is so handy.
Yeah.
Like you said, you basically, you can be.
basically just trace it in 3D space and you'll know that the scale is correct.
If you're starting out finding good reference images, you can take your own, but the best
place to start if you're looking for something specific is just go to Google Limit Search
and just look for the thing. You'll want to try a combination of search parameters.
So for a screen used prop, I'll probably include that. If I'm looking for, let's say,
you know, the Noisy Cricket, which is another one that I was working on.
I went to Google Image Search.
I looked up Noisy Cricket.
I looked up Screen Used and sent me to the Prop Store website.
They do such a good job whenever they get a screen used prop and they have, you know, many thousands of them.
They take great reference images and they always include an image with a ruler in it, which is...
Oh, that's probably it sounds like probably a straight down top view and then a side view and that's all the thing.
That's fantastic.
Yeah, and if you're, if you can't, you know, if you're looking for something that isn't a film prop,
and the PropStorm website isn't going to help you out.
Try and find things that have as many angles as possible.
And if you can get a straight-on, like, orthographic shot of your thing, that's going to be even more helpful.
And then I also always search in the Google image options for the largest image possible.
Because people out there taking these images, they're making them teeny tiny.
And then they're shoving all the SEO in those images.
And that next thing you know, your reference image is like 18 pixels wide.
And it's completely useless to everyone.
I would make a side recommendation there.
And that is the duck, duck go.com search engine, which I already like for lots of reasons,
mostly security reasons.
But the main reason I like it is their image search works like old Google image search used to work.
So you just get images.
and you can easily grab them, move them,
do whatever you've got to do with them,
whereas the way Google image search now works,
I don't know if it's because of lawsuits or whatever,
99% of the time,
there's no click through to the actual image.
Often you've got a screencap it.
It's more like trying to get things off of Pinterest or something.
It's bad.
And duck.com is really good.
Wow.
This does quite literally look like Google Image Search
circa 10 years ago.
Yeah, it absolutely is.
and it's great. It's really good.
Yeah, and your link goes to view the file as opposed to, oh, go to that website where then you've got to hunt it down. Exactly.
It's, I mean, I understand why Google felt like they needed to cave because everything's about ads and tracking and everything and they've got to do whatever they got to do.
But that's not a problem over here on duck.com. It's really good.
I am done with Google Image Search. This is where it's at.
And it shows the resolution right in the image there so I know that I'm not getting a 640 by 4D image.
Yeah. And you can do all of those same sort of.
of like, you know, narrow down your filters and search for what you want to do. Bing's also good
Jay Cahoon's right. Bing has a pretty good image search. My experience with Bing is, if you're
looking for, let's like, I need a reference image of a game controller. There's like a four out
of ten chance you're going to also find somebody's erect penis by accident. Because Bing is
weird, man. Freaking Bing is a strange beast. I have a fun story about Bing. When Bing came out,
I was working at Microsoft, and there were, people were trying, people who worked at Microsoft
were trying to make, hey, why don't you Bing that a thing, right?
They were trying to turn it into a verb like Google.
And my boss was in my cubicle, and I had to search for something, and he said that.
He was like, hey, why don't you just Bing that?
And I very deliberately opened a new tab, opened Google.
and search for it on Google
I just refuse to be that guy
Yeah now look you gotta do what you gotta do
And since I started
Since I started using duck dot go
It's been at least two three years now
It's exclusive now
I don't even use Google at all
So it's 100% search stuff on there
They don't track you there's no ad tracking
It's just I'm into that
Yeah that's pretty great
And you get the results you need
And I looked up Luke's lightsaber
And I don't see any penises
So I'm pretty excited
Yeah yeah yeah now if you want penises
I suppose you could unclick that moderate tag and, you know, go for it,
but they're not going to accidentally give you one like Bing does.
Bing's like, oh, oops, well, here it is.
There's your penis.
So, reference images.
Collecting your own screen.
Taking your own reference images can be really handy, too.
I frequently end up taking photos of props by playing a TV show on my television,
and they're just taking photos of the TV screen.
And that works pretty great for me.
The one thing I really want to point out, though, is that if you can get a skis
scale reference in your image.
So if you have a physical object that you're taking a photo of, throw a ruler in there
or any object of known dimension, like your ID, your driver's license, right?
Because then if you throw that into fusion, like I was saying before, you can measure your
ID, the length of it, and then just click, click, put that in there, and it'll scale the entire
image correctly for you.
Nice.
So getting scale references in your reference images can be really,
super handy especially for prop making
obviously sure yeah that's awesome
uh well get on it everybody it's the modern day morgue
we used to call them uh don't think anyone calls it that anymore
no no i haven't heard that term in forever yeah bygone era
but uh there's still use for why you did it and now you can do it and take
every time i'd find a picture of sean connery it'd say yips and two of these to the
morgue yeah whenever i look up pictures of shon connery it's him in that zardaws suit
That's all over the internet.
Hard to avoid.
Oh, yeah, look on Bing.
I have a Zardaz print I made that I drew years ago hanging somewhere.
Probably not in plain view on my camera, though, because it's a little, I don't know.
It's shocking if you don't know what Zardaz is.
It's like, Wayne, what the hell is that?
Zardaz is a nightmare.
All right.
Hey, well done, Bill.
It's always good to have you here.
Do you have a bonus piece of content for us today?
I sure do.
My friend Jarris, his YouTube channel is called Jarris of All, is making a Halo rocket launcher.
it's he's trying to make it look correct he's trying to make it launch rockets and he struggled trying
to get the scale correct so in order to make it look right it has to be pretty big and his is
very big it's really cool and he's got a series going on it and it's looking really really good
that's awesome i recommend checking that out that halo rocket launchers one of my least favorite
things in the game because it does tons of damage and is really great
that it takes up like three-fourths of the screen.
I know, right?
It's so big.
Look at that thing.
I think they did it on purpose because they don't want you just like running around with that all the time.
And you only get two, I think two missiles per, unless you find some ammo.
Anyway, it's a hell of a thing.
That's awesome.
Well, he's cool.
You've shown us his stuff before.
He's been on.
Yeah, he does a lot of fun stuff.
I like this guy.
So go check him out.
It's Jarus for all.
Not to be confused with Garris from Mass Effect.
never confusing with anybody uh boy yeah there you i think garris is great i didn't romance him but boy
did i come close anyway hey bill you're the best have a great week and uh build some cool shit
and we'll talk to you next week you got it see you now see bill except we can't really hang up boy
okay there we go all right we got to get our science on and we do that with the help of one bobby
frankenberger yeah you may know him
as Bobby Franks.
It doesn't matter either way
because here he is.
Hey, science.
Look who it is.
It's old Bobby Frankenberger,
joining us from South Carolina
to talk a little science.
Hi, Bobby.
How are you?
I'm great.
How are you?
Old Bobby Franks.
Did it freak you out?
Did it freak you out that I said I have an email
for you?
Did that freak you out?
No.
No?
Okay.
Let's do it.
Oh, it should.
It might.
Well, it may not.
I don't know.
Maybe it will.
here's the email and then you can tell us what you think.
Hey, Bobby, it says.
This is funny because now I'm freaked out.
A good way to start.
Yeah, when it came to me, the subject line was blank and it just says, hey, Bobby.
And if I wasn't really paying attention, I would think this was like a miss email,
like someone got the wrong email address or something, because, you know, whatever.
But I figured it out.
Here's what he says.
Hey, Bobby, here's a question for you.
What if science eventually proves that science isn't real?
Wrap your head around that one, Colin Turney, is the guy's name.
Ternie, Ternie.
Toney? Toney? There's an R there. No, it's just an R, yeah.
It looks like an M, doesn't it?
It does look like Tumie, Cullin Tumie.
Weird. Cull into me.
Yeah, UR M, E Y.
Call into me. I like it. Maybe he's making a joke.
But anyway, so Bobby, the question is, what does science eventually proves the science isn't real?
It's obviously a very dumb question. But, you know, let's play with it. Let's play with it.
What do you think of that? Do you like that?
Do you like that? How do you feel?
I do, Colin to me, I do not think that your question is dumb.
How would science prove that science isn't real?
Well, plus, if prove that science isn't real, then that would be bunk,
because then the science that prove that science isn't real would also not be real.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Brian answered it.
It's like, what's that old riddle about, you know, if I tell you that I can, one of these statements,
is false or something like that.
Oh yeah, one of these statements is a lie, one of them is truth and yeah, right.
Something like that.
We just a self-defeating statement.
Thank you, Monkey Banas.
That's the word.
Oh, yeah.
I like that monkey bananas fix that because he's great.
What if God just shows up and says, I'm not real?
Yeah, then what are you going to do?
It doesn't matter anyway, because if you were paying attention last week, I think your
question is great, by the way.
I don't think your question is done.
You've said that twice now.
You're really buttering up to this calling guy.
I like it.
Um, if, uh, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, it's, what's the word I'm anything. Uh, there's no, uh, there's no, what I'm, there's no, what's the word I'm looking for, uh, there's no, um, what do you call it when there's something like, uh, something that kind of proves something wrong in only one case. What's that called?
the exception that breaks the rule or the the yeah there's a word not conundrum uh we're just like whoa that's a foul not fallacy what am i trying to say are you thinking of catch 22 no it's a word it's just a paradox that's it a paradox oh gotcha okay all right so this is not a paradox right it's not going back in time killing your grandfather and then you never make a time machine to go back and kill your grandfather right i actually thought it was thinking of that while you're i love
is the lord of time travel mistakes.
He knows what good time travel is, and most of the time it's bad.
Even movies you think you like.
Yeah, exactly.
We all love Looper, but Looper's broken.
Yeah, it is.
Quite a super power.
I was bitten on the hand by a radioactive time travel movie, by a radioactive Back to the Future.
It's when you were whipping around the sun to try to turn time backwards or something.
Yep, exactly.
And now you have the superpower to throw a wet blanket on anybody's time.
That's right. Exactly. Here's why your time travel movie is dumb.
Yeah. There you go. Always got that cock and ready. So, Bobby, let's get into some real science here. Not this fake. This isn't even a paradox. It's not even a single docs. There's no docs. Okay? This is not even there. All right. So what did you bring to talk to us about?
Well, I was reading an article that talked about, so apparently researchers have discovered a new relationship between a person's ability.
to count and their ability to perform matching tasks that involve numbers up to 25.
And that suggests, it seems to suggest anyway, that in order for humans to think about exact
numbers, we have to know a word for that number in order to even think about it.
Now, it seems like, so on the surface of it, it seems like, okay, big deal.
But I've been thinking about this, and I really think that this has much more far, it could
have much more far-reaching effects, not effects, but implications about the way we think.
But I want to get into it after I explain the study a little bit.
So it was a study between MIT and University of California, Berkeley, and what they did was
they were looking at the Chimane people of Bolivia.
They live in the rainforests of Bolivia, and they're very isolated.
and the culture and the way that they live does not require them to need to know a lot about numbers.
So they can get by pretty well without having to know numbers.
Just because, I don't know, they live the simple life and they don't need to count a lot.
They do know some numbers and they do have an education system.
Their kids will start school, quote unquote, around the same time.
time that children, that are, you know, industrialized nations and societies do around five years
old or so their kids will start school. But so kids in children in industrialized societies typically
start to learn to count at around two. And once they start to learn to count around two,
it usually takes them until about four or five to have a sort of sophisticated understanding of
numbers. And when I say sophisticated, I mean, they can count beyond four and five, get up to six,
and then they can start putting group larger numbers together based on the smaller amounts
of counting that they can do. So it's not even like, so Van, he's three, he can count to 30,
but he can't go four plus six is 10. Like he doesn't know. Right. Yeah, exactly. So we're not
talking about arithmetic. We're just talking about counting and understanding numbers and size and stuff
like that. Yeah. So the Chamein people in Bolivia, they have a similar trajectory of learning
numbers when they do learn numbers, but they don't start until around the time that they start
school. They tip their children really start to learn to count at around five years old,
and they will finish that trajectory of learning and having that sophisticated understanding of
of larger numbers by around
eight years old.
So it's just same trajectory, but they start
later than we do. And what that
and because they start
later and because their culture doesn't
really require them to need to know
numbers, what ends up happening is you have
older children and adults
who have
let's say
a much, a very wide
range of how high they can count.
So what I mean, I guess what I mean by that, and I'm laying a lot of framework here
until we can get to the like mind-blowing thought that I have about this research.
But you and I, I hope, have a, can count arbitrarily high, right?
We can just keep counting.
Yeah.
And, but these people, the Chimain people, because they don't have as, as, as
much of a relationship with numbers, they might only be able to count to say 10 or 15 or 40,
you know, because they just don't develop this more abstract way of thinking about it.
And an important point here is counting means that you have words for those numbers, right?
So, having said all that, what the scientists did was they got about 15 people who could count to somewhere between 6 and 20,
and then they got 15 people who could count up to at least 40.
And they gave them all a task, and it was a matching task.
So what they would do is it was called orthogonal matching.
What they do is they line up a number of items in a row on the ground or on a table or something like that,
and they say, ask people to then, so maybe they'll give them all like rocks, like 10 rocks in a line in a row.
And then they would give them another, they would ask them to,
take another object, say like spools of thread or batteries or something like that, another small
object and say, now I want you to line up the same number of items. Only they're not, they have to
do it vertically instead of horizontally. And the only, the reason that that's important is so that,
because they don't want them to be matching one to one. Oh, I get it. Okay. And that's why it's
called orthogonal matching is because orthogonal refers to the different direction. Yeah. Right.
Um, so, so what they found was that they, they could do this.
They could perform this task, but the number of matching, the number of, that they could match up to was limited by how high they could count.
Uh, and so if, if, if let's say you could count up to 10, you might start to make mistakes at around 8 or 9.
If you could count up to 15, you might start making mistakes around 13 or 14.
Now, on the surface, that sounds like, okay, that makes sense.
But what they are saying that this implies is that having a word for numbers is what gives you the ability to think about the numbers and actually manipulate those numbers.
Interesting.
Beyond what we already say is like 11.
I mean, that's a word.
Right.
No, no, no.
That's exactly what they mean.
if you do not have a word for the number,
if you have not learned a word for that number,
then they believe that that has,
based on this research,
that it has far-reaching implications
for how you can even,
how you can and whether or not you even can
think about the numbers at all.
That's fascinating.
I've never even thought about this.
We have to have a name for the numbers
or that doesn't work.
Or we don't, yeah, we can't visualize it.
Makes sense.
Right.
So, and yeah, I'm glad that you realize, like, that's, that, that is fascinating and
interesting because math is already really abstract.
You might think that we don't need concrete words to think about it.
Like, you, you might sort of think, why can't we just visualize the number or we already
do math in our heads, you know?
So why can't we just, why do we need to have words for it?
But, um, but this is implying that you do need to have words for it.
in order to think more concretely about numbers.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Seriously, I'd never even thought about the idea that we needed.
I always knew we had numbers with names because that makes sense because how else are you going to talk about them.
But I didn't think beyond that, like, that's literally part of how we can make sense of them.
Otherwise, what would I even say?
If we didn't have a number for, if we didn't have a name for the number five,
what would I do?
I would go
there's a
one two three four
something something six seven eight
but I mean like
the concept is you
if we didn't have names
for any numbers
then what are we even talking about
like how are we even
reconcile that that's just crazy
it's funny that you even count up to
count it up to four Brian
because there's a lot of research
that shows you don't need
words for numbers up to the number four
oh really it's it's beyond that
larger numbers
that we start to need
to have that information
now this is all really interesting
when it comes to math and numbers right
but I think
what this makes me think about
is how language
like how far does this go
does this is language
then involved in our basic understanding
of other concepts
like and and does
language and having words for things make it possible for us to think about other things in the
abstract. There's research. It made me think of research that's been done in maybe you, I don't
know if you've heard of this before. There's some languages like Russian and Greek that have
words for light blue and dark blue. They don't have one word for blue. They have separate words
for light blue and dark blue. And so research has been done that shows
that people who speak and were raised speaking Russian and Greek
they are actually able to more quickly identify different shades of blue
than other people and they can actually better perceive
like if you take an object like a square that is light blue
and overlay it over a dark blue background
they're able to more quickly perceive that that's a separate object
than people who do not speak those languages
because they have, and the implication there is they have words for those colors so they think about them as separate colors.
Rather than people who speak like English who just call it blue, we don't spend our entire lives thinking about them as separate things.
And so it literally impacts our understanding and our concept of those things and it has direct impacts on how we think and see the world and perceive the world.
I love that kind of stuff.
I don't know if that's clear or not, but it gets me going.
Because it gets really, it gets into some philosophical questions about why we are who we are
and why we communicate the way we do and how we got here.
I think it has massive, massive implications for society and social justice concepts.
And, I mean, think about how in the past decade or so, especially, we've been, we've been,
coming up with a ton of gender identity and sexuality words and how important that must be
for people who don't have a word for the way that they feel.
So that's just one example I think of when I think of how having, how language and having
words for things can literally shape the world.
That stuff evolves.
It's like in the early days, you would just be like, ah, there's a devil in him.
and then in the 80s it was like he's gay and that's all you had right and then you know obviously there were more nuance then but not much and then now it's like no it's we now we recognize there's a huge difference and there's categories and there's incremental stuff it's it's granular so now here's a whole bunch of names and I know that drives some people crazy but I don't know I like having names for stuff we understand better why wouldn't you want that you know right yeah exactly and and it helps
not just us understand people, but people to understand themselves,
and everybody just have a richer, better, fuller understanding of the world
and the people that live in it and how they interact with the world
and all that kind of stuff.
This discussion would only be better if we were all smoking weed right now.
What if, yeah, what if?
I'm telling you, there's something there.
All right, well, Bobby, always fascinating stuff.
I always love talking about this sort of thing.
And good news, if you liked it and you heard it at home,
you're like, man, I sure could go for more.
Good news is Bobby has a whole other podcast where he talks about scientific stuff.
Bobby tell people where to get it and how they get it.
Yeah, my weekly science podcast is called All Around Science.
And I'm going to be, I'm probably going to at some point either this week or next week
talk about this same thing with my co-host, Mora, and flesh it out a little bit
and maybe go into some of the research that exists, that I know,
exists on cognitive linguistics and stuff like that.
So if you're interested in this topic, stay tuned because we're going to talk about it some more.
The episode that just came out yesterday, we talked all about evolution with one of our other favorite science communicators, Nikki Ackerman.
Oh, yeah.
She's great.
She came on the show.
She's a biologist, and she came on and talked to us about evolution, and we had a blast.
So we love having her on the show.
Nothing wrong with her.
She's doing really good stuff with Tom Merritt as well.
So if you guys haven't heard some of her segments over there,
you should check that out on her,
the Daily Tech News Show stuff.
Very, very good.
Awesome.
Well, Bobby once again, and as always,
we're glad to have you here.
We'll catch you next time.
Have a great week.
And we'll see you then.
Bye.
Bye.
See you, Bobby.
Science.

Randy,
or we have an update
on this Randy thing.
Tell me what you found out.
Icor posted.
He said,
on today's TMS,
we were talking about
who watched
the new Sex in the City show.
Apparently in episode
543 of FilmSack,
I asked Randy
if he's watching
the new Sex in the City
and he says yes.
And a minute later,
Randy asks me to watch it
since it has a different
quote unquote feel to it
and he wants my opinion on it.
I knew this discussion happened.
Samantha, he's holding back on you.
He's not telling you everything.
Busted, Randy's watching it.
Do you ever wake up drowsy, Samantha, and try and figure out, God, what happened in the last several hours?
Well, it's because Randy got you drunk and then he watched the sex in the city.
Wait, which episode was this?
I bet I can find it.
I have it right here.
543, film sack 543, which was...
Was that Wild Things?
I think it might have been the one before Wild Things.
No, then I don't know if I have it.
Maybe I do.
I mean, I keep them all, but I don't know, I don't number them.
The problem with the, I kind of screwed up a long time ago.
FilmSack, I don't number each file.
But, oh, it's hearts in Atlantis.
Is that the one?
Probably.
Okay, 135.
Here, watch this.
When I was being a little kid and there was a, there.
Hold on, 135.
Here we go.
It cools the throat.
They're hardly even cigarettes at all.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, cools are hardly even cigarettes at all, man.
They won't give you cancer.
Yeah, not a day.
just the voice
she sounds exactly like Cynthia Nixon
there you go here you go weird me
cools they cool the throat they're
she does kind of are you watching and just
like that Randy
yes yes yes yes yes I can't watch that I can't even go
near it
you guys why I'm glad you are
hold on I hate sex in the city
I hate it I hate that show
I hate everybody in it it's the most
middle aged white lady problems
I freaking hate it oh okay because I just
want to make the case
that this is different.
Okay.
But it's those characters and stuff.
It's a different thing.
Like, you know how they're making a fresh prints that has...
Anyway, it goes on.
Yeah.
But yeah.
Proof.
Yeah.
There you go.
Sam, I think you need to visit Randy in the night and poke him in the bum.
No, I don't know what I said.
All right.
Well, thanks for that.

no matter what. So be here today, 3.30 for that. All right, Brian, song time?
Song. Well, Scott, song, because I'm playing your request. You actually used your own,
listen, you ate your own lunch. And you used the TMS song requester form to request a song
yourself. This is, oh, and I forgot to write down the name of the person he's covering,
Marty Robbins.
So this is Colter Wall.
When somebody you've mentioned is being a favorite country, current country performer.
And his song Big Iron, which is a cover of Marty Robbins, he's done quite a few.
He's done Diamond Joe, which is Kelly Harrell's, Bobby Holmes Frawling, Mark Williams' Night Hurting song, Ty Knott's and the Devil's Tale, stuff like that.
But this is a good choice.
This is from the album Western Swing and Waltz's.
This is some old style country folks and love it.
Here is Colter Wall and, oh, do you want to say anything?
Well, the only thing I was going to add, I was just going to add his new album's really good.
And for those of you're hearing me to say this and going country, what?
I thought you didn't like country.
Not a big fan of mainstream country.
You never have been.
But if you're looking for like an old soul, the dude's all of 25.
He just turned 25.
He's super young.
But he sounds like he was lifted out of the 50s or something.
Yeah, he does.
He tells these really, his original work is always really dark, cool stories.
Kate McCannan, canons, an amazing song that should be a movie or a TV show.
He has this amazing guttural, low, 60-year-old sounding voice, and it's just a cut above what anyone else is doing.
In some ways, it's very retro.
In other ways, it's very current.
Lots of stuff in between, and his covers are great.
And a lot of you will remember this song, Big Iron, from playing,
fallout new Vegas that was the original was one of the songs that was always on the the local
Vegas radio station while you're out in the wastelands and um that's why i were my first exposure
to that song was that that's an ancient song anyway he does this amazing cover and i'm really glad
brian's playing it so uh yeah so here comes uh very exciting stuff thank you for playing that thank you
all for listening and being here we'll be back tomorrow with the wednesday stuff and uh with randy lover
of all things, sex in the city.
So check us out then.
Bye.
No one there to ask his business, no one there to make a slip.
A stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip.
Big iron on his head.
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town.
He came riding from the south side, slowly looking all around.
He's an outlawless side.
outlaw loose and running
came a whisper from each lip
and he's here to do some business
with the big iron on his hip
the big iron on his hip
in this town
and live an outlaw by the name of
Texas Red
many men
had tried to take him and that many
men were dead
he was vicious and the
killer, though a youth of 24, and the notches on his pistol numbered 11 and 19 more.
One than 19 more.
Now the strangers started talking, made it plain folks around.
Was an Arizona ranger, wouldn't be too long in the town.
He came here to take an outlaw back to life.
law back alive or maybe dead and he said it didn't matter he was after texas red
after texas red wasn't long before the story was related to texas red but the outlaw
didn't worry men that tried before we're dead 20 men that tried to take him 20 men
made a slip what he won would be the ranger with big iron on his hip big iron on his hip
well the morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet it was 20 past 11 when they walked
out in the street folks were watching from the windows everybody held their breath
And the Eunice handsome ranger was about to meet his death, about to meet his death.
There was 40 feet between them when they stopped to make their play.
And the swiftness of the ranger still talked about today.
Texas red and not clear leather for a bullet fairly ripped.
And the ranger's aim was steadily with the big iron on his hip, the big iron on its hip.
It was over in a moment, and the folks had gathered around.
There before they lay the body of the outlaw on the ground.
Oh, he might have went on living, but he made one fatal slip.
When he tries to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip,
Big iron on his hip.
Big iron, big iron, big iron,
when he tried to match the ranger with a big iron on his hip,
big iron on his hip.
