A thermostat. Crude tools with Bill. Getting along with your upper atmosphere with Bobby and more on this episode of the morning stream. Hey, there's Peptobismal. Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea. Yay, that's so bismal. Are you going to throw up? I already did.

This is the morning stream. No butt touching. Hey, everybody. Welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream for Tuesday, March 29th, 2020. God, I love that Weezer song. What a great Weezer song. Isn't that a great Weas?

I know. It's back when Weezer really just tore it up. He was still, we were still holding that thread. His sweater was unraveling as he walked away. That is the song that Tristan thought sounded like Weezer's strange situation. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Well, he's not wrong.

I don't, I kind of hear like the chord progression, but you know what? Whatever. I think Bo's song is, I'd much rather listen to Bo's song than the Weasers song. I would too. Take that, Weezer? Take that. Unfriendly! Yeah, take that. What's the singer's name? Von, Chuckie Vaughn Potato Head. What is it? Yeah, that's it. Yes, exactly. His name is Chuckie Von Potato Head. I can't remember his name. Hold on. Don't say it. I know you know it. Okay. Yeah. It's like one of those names, though, that's like kind of, um, oh gosh. Yeah. It's a little, I don't said fruity.

I don't mean it like a pejorative. It's a plural, it's plural noun, his first name. Oh, that's right. It's like, oh, it just flashed past. It just flashed past. All right. His last name, he shares the last name with a beleaguered New York governor. Hold on, Pataki, Giuliani,

Oh, I guess there have been a few. Current governor of... I guess he was mayor. I guess he was mayor. I'm sorry, yeah, Julianne who was mayor, but... Oh, oh, oh, uh, Jules. No, uh, Cuomo is the last name. That's correct, yes.

First name is, uh, uh, not Jules. It's like something with an ass. It is with an S. Good? I can't do it. It is with an S. Rivers Cuomo.

Oh, it's Rivers, Frick! Rivers, yeah. Oh, my gosh, that hurt, getting that out. It actually caused me pain. He still never got it out. I never,

I didn't. That's what I mean. It's like they had to do C-section in the end. I pushed and pushed and no head would pop and I finally had to just pull the baby out. Why are you guys all shouting Barry?

Barry. Yeah, where are they yelling Barry? What's their Barry deal? I don't know. Oh, that reminds me. In my bag is something. What do you got? Brian's got something in his bag, y'all.

This is my bag. This is the bag. I take my road bag, my going on trips bag. It's one I got for having a very good performance in the longest day, which is the Alzheimer's research. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's cool. You don't call it your stink bag like Bill does, right?

No, because I don't put anything in there that will stink. Oh, that's good. That's good. Now, um. An old can of sardines, open can of sardines You know I can hide, there's a lot of places Benjian That I could hide weed in there if I wanted to

There's even like Here's one of the best parts Like right here is a This bag or this this pocket You see that? It's like Oh yeah, look at that It's like a heat

It keeps stuff warm in there So like if I'm getting on a plane I want to throw a quiz nose in there It'll stay nice and warm It's like the McDonald's BLT You can keep the hot side hot And the cool side cool Exactly. So Barry and Bobby Ann brought me something in or bought me something at the pinball festival.

Yeah. And I just remember, remember that when you guys were putting Barry in there because I put in one of the pockets that I forgot to empty when I got home. They got me a chocolate gold covered Pikachu here. Oh my lord. Is that wrapping on there or something you eat the outside? It is something you eat. That is an edible luster gold luster dust. It's what it's called luster dust, which is my favorite, my favorite movie starring divine. is edible lester dust hey wait i got a question about divine real fast before you i think you should eat i think you should eat that by the way on the air but i want to ask this question about divine the problem is i want to eat one of the ears but if you don't start with the mouth then when you eat the ears uh you hear them screaming it's the same with uh yeah it's the same with uh yeah it's the same with the scream is just Pikachu i choose you or something it's no big deal so that's why i always

start with the head when i eat animal crackers because i don't like the screaming yeah i always say always start with the head that's my that's my motto um so uh uh my question about divine yes divine was this actor slash well waters used him in a lot of movies and stuff right yes yes and i say him because i don't know what the preference was there this was a different time it was pre pronoun so did i mean divine presented as female so i guess you say she did she because i i always thought maybe or was it one of those deals where, no, just a, just like a drag queen at night, but in the day, I'm just

good old Phil Phillips divine, this is a very interesting question. Pre, right, like pre when we knew to ask the right questions. Yeah. Was divine, I mean, he was a drag queen.

Yeah. I assume. Like did stage stuff, right? All that kind of thing. As far as I know. Yeah, exactly. My memory. Pink Fleming. I think that was the one where she ate a turd, or he ate a turd. Ew. Really?

Actual poop. This happened? I've seen pink flamingos. I don't remember that. Was it pink flamingos? Let's see. The dog feces in the infamous final scene is real. According to director, John Waters, the dog was fed steak for three days beforehand.

Devine's reaction to eating it was real. It was real, real poo. I didn't know this. Sounds like, wait. to watch this for film set. Oh my gosh. We really should do a Water's movie. We should do a John Waters movie.

Yeah, why not? Yeah, we don't have any thin mustache directors we watch for it. I mean, it is a guaranteed what gross scut out the most. Oh, yeah. You'll just be, cringy just waiting for the final scene to get to it. Honestly, I remember that movie seeing it with Bill, my friend Bill at the Blue, I forgot the name of the Theater. We used to have this little theater called The Blue Something.

And we watched it together. And I remember thinking, oh, that was weird. and I get why he's no tour and all this. I do not remember dog poop. Don't remember it. One of you left. Was it in a stinger? Post-credit stinger?

It was to get you excited about the sequel? I don't know. Oh, there's a video. I ain't looking. Pops and McLean ain't looking. By the way, J.C. Calhoun says, according to Wikipedia, Divine considered himself to be male and was not transgender or transsexual.

That is the other, right, the other part of this, right? Is it just someone who wants to perform as a woman, but is not transgender, not transgender, transsexual. Right. Nobody called, who's the comedian that just died? Who's the president that liked to dress in a women's clothes? No, it wasn't president. It was, uh, Jager Hoover was a... Oh, that's right. It was the FBI, uh, right, Jake or Huber. Um, who, who am I thinking of? Who just passed away?

Big, big rotund dude. He was in baskets, won an Emmys for that. Oh, um, yeah, Louis Armstrong. Louis Armstrong. Louis, or not, Louis Anderson. come on down we're going to play the few there we go louis anderson he um he played his mother in that show but nobody ever went oh we need to start calling him her you don't say that about lithgow or um or or Dustin Hoffman or you know any of that stuff so we did Hoffman hold on don't

there was okay don't answer that hold on Hoffman Justin Hoffman oh yeah Sorry, Tutsi, the obvious one. Yes. Just for a second, I was like, wait a minute. Let's just rent, like, we're just going to rabbit hole our way through a bunch of stuff that we both have problems remembering. Yeah, none of this is good. All right. I found a thing I wanted to share.

So I like a good sandwich. You do two, I think. Right? Yes, I do like a good sandwich. And by good, you know, that's, that's a, the word good is, what's the word? It's a personal word. It's a personal word. You're not all going to feel the same. Objective.

Or subjective rather. And so I found a list of sandwiches that I wanted to ask you if you would eat these. Okay. All right. Some people find these beloved and some people eat them on the regular and I just don't know yet. So I'm going to- I will not be eating the spinal tap shit sandwich. I would not eat that either.

Okay. So here's your, here's number one on this list I found on all-womenstalk.com. Oh, no. All women. Stock. That's what it is. It's allwomenstock.com. I bet they didn't look at that as one long, all lowercase word when they created that website.

No, welcome to penisland.com, everyone. Allwomenstock. It's pretty funny. I love it. Oh, it's awesome. And we are not saying the official stance of TMS is that all women's stock is not our stance. We do not believe they all stock, okay? We think a couple of them do.

The most are fun. Oh, and you know who you are. Yeah. If you're stalking, you know who you are. All right, check this out. Honey and cheese. How's that sound to you? Oh.

Honey, does it say what kind of cheese? Yeah, so here's one. This is... Goes better to give them friggin' cheese, McDonald's. It says Stilton is their favorite. But this is the entire sandwich. So it's bread of some sort. Imagine a nice like brioche sort of, you know.

Yeah. Something like that. And then you got a slab of Stilton or similar cheese. Okay. And then just drizzle that thing full of honey. How's that laying on it? No problem whatsoever. That sounds awesome.

Stilton would be a good, a good cheese to pair with honey. All right, fair enough. How do you feel about grapes? Yeah. How do you feel about grapes in your sandwich, like actual grapes? Fine with grapes. Are we adding it to the cheese and honey sandwich or just on its own? Just slice the grapes.

So here's what you do. Nope, you do. You take two pieces of bread, butter. Yeah. Okay, butter those breads. And then the feeling is chopped grapes. Okay. That's it.

Again, no problem. Because you know what chopped grapes, the more you chop them, you know what they get closer to? Wine is my thinking. Or grape jelly. Not quite wine. Not quite wine. I mean, sure. If you keep going and let it sit for a while.

Yeah, do it with your feet. Let them sit. Yeah. Just that's the problem with you don't have a mortar. You need a mortar in there to hold the grapes. Otherwise, if that sandwich veers off of that perfectly horizontal holding, grapes will fall. That's true.

They will, won't they? Yeah. The grapes will fall. Grapes will roll. Yeah. And they'll be wrathful. The grapes with wrath. Here's one that seems common.

I don't know why this is on here is weird, but peanut butter and banana. I used to have those another kid. Oh, nothing wrong with that at all. There's a place here that did a bacon peanut butter. and banana sandwich because he made it for Elvis. When Elvis came to Denver, this guy was hired to make the sandwiches

for him. This was, of course, in Elvis's fat years. Yeah. And he had a restaurant on Union Avenue by Alameda, and I swore one of these days or one day when it was

open, I was going to go there and get a bacon, peanut butter, and banana sandwich. Because it's basically, like, it's on the menu with highlights and arrows and lightning bolts and whatever around it. Tina and I only ever went there for breakfast, but the place was decked out with photos of Elvis and press clippings from his time in Denver and all that stuff. But they're gone now? You can't still go?

They just closed like two weeks ago or something. Mid-March, I think they closed. Should have gone and asked for a fish sandwich. I should have gone. I'm so bummed. I missed out on that, and I didn't think about that. Too early to get a peanut butter and banana sandwich you said. right yeah too late i guess um all right here's uh this one now i you know nutella i get it on bread's

fine whatever how do you feel about nutella with cheese like cheddar oh now we're getting into some dangerous territory because chocolate and cheese because nut's hazelnut chocolate hazelnut spread um yeah and that's weird right that's weird that is i don't think that's the Right combo. I feel like that's rough. And this one that literally says in the quote, don't knock it until you tried it. I mean, I would try it, but I'm not seeking that out. I would try a bite of it, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, I'd try one bite. And if I was blown away, well, maybe I'd stay for the full deal. But I'm not convinced. So the sandwich, by the way, the oldest sandwich is called Fool's Gold Loaf. Ew. Loaf. No, I don't like loaf. It's the sandwich consists of a single, warmed, hollowed-out loaf of bread

filled with the contents of one jar of creamy peanut butter, one jar of grape jelly, and a pound of bacon. So no banana. I thought there was banana in there, but... Definitely is fat years. Holy crap. Yeah. That's a lot.

Yeah, I don't think that's for me. I think that's too much. No, I don't think that's for anybody who's basically not hoping for a heart attack. Yeah. Although, it's too bad it was. the drugs, though, right? It would have been cool if he had died on that toilet trying to pass a giant sandwich. Trying to pass the big fool's gold loaf turd. Yeah. Yeah, that would have been a better

story, I think, because otherwise it's just sad. He liked that thing so much. He actually flew his private jet out to get one of those. To Denver to get it? Yep, yep. Wouldn't it be better to... I guess it wouldn't be? When you're Elvis, you have all the money, so who cares, I guess, right? Yeah, right. I put a link in the, um, the chat room to an article on messy, nessy chic, and it's got a photo, like a cutaway photo of the sandwich with all of that bacon and peanut butter and jelly in there. Oh, we got to see this. Okay, if you're watching the YouTube archive of the show or you're here live, this is, uh, this is, it's on messy, nessie chic. Look at this right here. Oh, gosh, that actually looks really good. It does. I would

do, like, basically, if you take that, cut one inch of it, I would feel like, That is a, maybe two inches, I'd feel like, all right, that's a good sandwich. I could, I could, uh, I could do, I'm just trying to word this in a way that doesn't give, that doesn't make it too easy for Jamie. I mean, I don't want to, I love Jamie. I just don't want to make things too easy for him. Yeah, I wouldn't either. Uh, I understand.

But I would do two inches of that sandwich. Yeah. There you go. No, you still made it easy, but I, I still made it easy, but he's going to have to cut it really tight after after two inches, but before the sandwich. Yeah, which is also, also, also, good in its own right. That might actually also be a good material. I wanted to show everybody real quick this couch on Elvis's plane. What an ugly plane interior. That's so ugly. And I know it's

of a time, right? I get it. Yeah. Yeah. That couch with the, that looks like somebody put another couch on top of a couch. Yeah. It's bad. It's just really ugly. In that bedroom? I don't want to be on that plane. That guy right there. So right under those photos of the couch, the bald guy holding the sandwiches that is nick of nick's cafe he's the guy who served him served the sandwich and he's the guy who also brought us our breakfast and you can see how covered the walls are with elvis memorabilia in there oh yeah there's more elvis there than elvith has feels like yeah so so uh um so i don't know why why wouldn't you do why wouldn't you do this why wouldn't you have a suitcase full of ingredients this guy and then elvis

say you know what i'm flying you to nashville for the weekend and you're just going to make this sandwich for me and you're going to hang out with me and I'm going to let you just have your way with my mansion and stuff. Why wouldn't you do that instead of fly there? You know? Well, let's think about this. I mean, all right, I'm trying to find a good equivalent. You like, you like Freddy's? Yeah, I do like Freddy's. So do you feel like you'd get the same Freddy's sandwich if one of the minimum wage kids from Freddy's came over with beef, a bun. Fair point. You make a fair point. You make a fair point. However, if this guy, that your stone is here, if he came over and made it, I would feel pretty good because that's just all handmade stuff.

All he has to do is just right. He just has to cook a pound of bacon. Everything else comes out of a jar and slices a loaf in half. So that's, yeah, you're probably, for that one, you're probably right. I hope he's, is he still with us, this little dude? Do you know? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. I think so. Yeah. All right. Yeah, because the interviews were talking about how sad they were to close, but they're just like, yeah, we're, we can't do the restaurant thing anymore. Yeah. Nobody cares about Elvis anymore. It's not selling seats

We don't talk about Elvis No How about this one? All right We got This is one that would Upset some people I know Okay

All right Pineapple and mayonnaise How's that land? Oh now we're getting into Into no territory Yeah This is almost a for sure No for me

But it says I like Maynays I like Those two together Feel like An unholy Bastion of terror Yeah

I mean it said It says here, according to this person, he says, I don't like mayonnaise and I don't particularly like pineapple, but he says the combination of the two is amazing and he was blown away by it and he couldn't believe it. I guess I would try it, but I don't, I wouldn't make any promises on, on, having any more than one bite. That could be a fun, that could be a fun show test for it. We both have to do it. This is not a, you know, not a solo situation. Oh, we both have to do it. Absolutely.

Yeah. Do we do weird sandwiches at TMS Vegas as part of the... Oh, my Lord. Because we need, been looking at, like, what we can do as far as, like, a live, a thing we could do live. Yeah, it could end up being that. My plans for a game show are quickly fading as we approach, and I don't know what venue we have or what our options are going to be for a display, a video. Yeah, but don't worry, everyone.

Something will come together. Yeah, yeah. We're definitely doing something. and I just don't know if we're going to have video screens, which the thing I'd like to do hinges on a video screen. Yeah, that would make a difference. All right, this is maybe just as bad. Peanut butter and pickle.

How's that one land? I'm sure that somebody's pregnant concoction. Yeah, you're having a baby. You eat that. Otherwise. Peanut butter and pickle. We'm trying to decide. Like, would it have to be sweet pickles to do it?

Oh, good point. This doesn't specify. This dill would be tough. The tartness of the dill would just absolutely clash with the... Oh, this definitely says dill. It does say dill. Yeah. So you're right to be concerned, though.

I don't think that's... I think the idea there is maybe the tartness is the key, but it sounds wrong up front. I just can't. I don't think I could do it. I would try it, but I don't know. How about toasted? Starburst.

What? You can toast Starburst, the little free chews? Yeah, it says, oh, you know what? I think I remember doing this with the kids once. How do you toast them

without them just turning into Rennie goo? I don't remember. Kim would have to answer this for me, but we did this with the kids once, and it was good, I think. But how did we do it?

We had a fire pit and we used to do marshmallows and stuff over it and somebody said, oh, you got to try Starburst and we did it and it somehow worked, but I don't remember what the deal was.

I think you probably I mean I guess that's the thing right you just you roast it until it starts turning into a goo and that makes it easier to spread on the on the thing oh Gordo the Great or Gordock the Great says we do toasted starbursts

when we go camping they don't melt that quickly Yeah they don't they don't melt very quickly That's the weird thing The outside caramelizes pretty quickly So the inside doesn't Yeah but you have to be careful because I remember one of my kids burning their tongue or something

Yeah Oh, by the way, Cleo, so Cleo was saying, when I was pregnant, I used to carry around a little bag of, insert your guess here, to stave off. Oh, wow. Before we get to that question, Singer Her reminds me, did you know, did you know that Gwyneth Paltrow has a new candle in the goop store? No way. Yes. What's it said? What's the?

It is, this candle smells like my orgasm. Oh. Oh. Okay. That really escalated then. She really did go next level. Okay. Yes.

Okay. That's, you know, I don't want to know, I don't know, I'm just going to pass on that candle. As I was searching for that one, I found a third one, and this is not a joke. She also has one called, this smells like my pre-up. My pre-nup for real? Yes, this smells like my pre-up. What does a pre-up smell like? Preductual agreement?

Yeah, but what's it smelled like? Oh, what does it smell like? I don't know. Probably like paper. You ever smell paper? Yeah, ever, you ever smelled paper? Is that basically like, did Chris Martin get half of her vagina candle money? And so this is kind of like a reminder. Oh, maybe. I don't know. Does he, he hasn't really talk about his time there, does he? Pretty quiet about it. Why wouldn't you be private about your life? Yeah, exactly. They were always, I mean, they always seemed to be kind of private and not defensive, but protective of their, of a little apple. Yeah, which makes sense. You know, you want to be, you want to keep your private life as private as you can. But then you also want to sell candles that you claim smell like your orgasm. So there's that.

The eye child. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Do you think Chris Marr would say, yeah, actually, that's pretty accurate. Yeah. Or what if he said, I don't recognize this at all? Oh, that means she was faking it. That's right. All right. Like Elaine says, fake, fake, fake, fake. All right. Oh, did you see?

I put a link on Twitter today. Oh, I did you already know this. Did you know about that? Watch Seinfeld. Did you put the link or where did you, because I never saw a link. Yeah, because I, in my original tweet, I f-ggot to put the link because I'm new to Twitter. I was, you know, just a, a web designer

thought out by your scientists and taught the ways of social media what's the address I want to see this watch watch signfeld.net feld dot net I can't edit my tweet so is it

it's not an option is it no it never has been which sucks okay so why does this exist this seems illegal doesn't it right how yeah how is it that they're able Is it because you can't choose? It's just a live stream or something?

Seinfeld. Oh, gotcha. Thank you, Wayne's PDFX. I get the joke. I get it. Well, we're a little slow. It touched a nerve because I want to be able to edit my tweets. For some reason, the dot net's not working for me, but the dot cc works for me.

Oh, weird. Maybe we've already broken it. Maybe it's not even the same. No, watch Seinfeld is working for me. Weird. Oh, no, that is too. Are you spelling Seinfeld correct? Yeah, I got it, but for some reason, so there's another one called dot CC and they let you do it per episode.

This one just plays in perpetuity, right? Yeah, this one is a nonstop one right after another episode. And I don't know if they're showing him an order or showing him in a, it would be better, I think, if they were showing them in a random order. Oh, interesting. They're doing, okay, so I'm just trying to see this domain's hosted off offshore somewhere. So that's how they're getting away with it. It's just some hacker. Really?

Like an offshore Swiss bank account website? Because otherwise, this is illegal what they're doing. Because it's, you know, the rights are owned to a thing. Oh, this is a great one. It's where Newman's giving them advice about the bike that she got. Right. Yes. The Kramer wants and they're going to cut the bike in half.

That's great. I love stupid internet stuff. Look at all the stuff in the background of Newman's apartment. Holy cow. Yeah, that guy's got, I think he's a, I think he's, They never really said it. He's on the wall, a Chinese food container. He's a hoarder.

A big ice cream, plastic ice cream cone. Yeah, he's a hoarder. I think that's what's going on there. They just never dealt with the hard-hitting psychological issues of hoarding. Instead, they laughed it off and made a show. Finally, Brian, how do you feel about a potato chip and ice cream sandwich? How does that one land for you? We're getting that ice cream place that has the macaroni and cheese ice cream.

I would, of all of them, I would actually try that. because heaven knows one of the greatest things you can do is go to Wendy's or order some fries on a frosty and dip your fries in the frosty. And those are just two Kevin Bacon's away from potato chips and ice cream. I agree. Yeah. I think this would be okay. As weird as that may sound on the surface of it.

Let's go for it. It sounds all right. I like potato chips in all sorts of weird places. Not softball. Jamie, you don't even have to do anything with that one. That's like such an easy edit right there. Just play the first 12 minutes of today's show and you've got your mashup. All right, there's that.

A quick follow up from Tony. The other day, as you know, I registered a complaint. My complaint was that heaters from Costco, this one over here, this radiating heater should be better and actually heat the room and not be only two, basically two settings. Cold or burning hot. And I wanted some in the middle. Here's what Tony and Buffalo said in regards to that. That's a guy who knows cold, by the way. Yeah.

Oh, I bet he does. Dude, Buffalo. You got your bills. You got your wings. Your wings? Yeah, your wild wings, right? Well, sure. I don't know how good they feel about Buffalo Wild Wings.

Yeah. If that really originated there, if that's just some bastardization of the name. Who knows? I don't know what else they got in Buffalo. You got other stuff, I'm sure. But you got a lot of snow is the point. A lot of winters, heavy winters. Oh, yeah.

heavy winter he says hey slumber and bunk get a quartz electric heater from a good name they radiate heat well and have no eco settings i got mine not see the word no just have eco settings just oh and oh i thought it said hadn't have no why did i read that i don't know but you want eco settings i guess you do it says i got mine at lows and they are pretty quiet i enjoy sitting next to it while i eat a tender crisp bacon cheddar ranch love the show though tony nice i think that's him trying to get me to play something so i guess i will Hold on. The Tendicus, bacon, cheddar ranch.

I'm here for you there, Tony. Okay, quartz electric, never heard of it. I'll check it out. Interesting, yeah. Get it from a good name, though, Scott. What does that mean? Or Charlie. I don't know what did, I don't know how to take a good name.

I think, like, you know, get one that's like DeLongi or some reputable heater name. I think quartz is not the brand. It's a style of heater. Yeah, it's a type of heater. So just get one that's made by a legit. brand and not don't get the anchor quartz electric heat actually the anchor model would be one of those reputable brands i think anchor is doing great right now there's a there's a whole bunch of these um let's see okay there's a brand called comfort zone that is all over amazon i don't know if they're

any good um there's a brand oh okay we've heard of uh duroflame makes one uh yeah but they make things that set on fire that's what i thought but they've got an actual uh thing gigantic I don't know any of these brands, so good name. Black and Decker makes one. Okay, that'd be cool. The best seller on here is a $30 one, but there's no brand. It just says generically portable electric space heater with thermostat, and that's all it says. Thermostat.

Thermostat. Oh, yeah, wow, that's a, I saw Bosch, and I'm like, oh, how much is that one? $873, but it's not a quartz heater. It is a thermotechnology 40-gallon standard electric store. water heater. Oh, that would not work for what I need. Yeah, they just took my results and said, let's throw the word water in there. Yeah, yeah.

Well, you know what? I'll do some looking. If anyone knows a good brand, I mean, here's Costway, heat storm. I don't know these people. Heat storm. It feel like an Overwatch character just popped his ultimate. I don't know what that even is. Right.

Yeah, it was really nice. And I will check out your show. All right. Here's your first story. in on duty Chicago cop I don't know I'm you know

duty's funny but I didn't expect to laugh at it I don't know why Yeah I know it's just funny Like on duty Just happened Anyway Chicago cop who was on duty

Was allegedly served food containing hair and dirt After ordering food From a drive up Wendy's That's just our baconator sir Yeah sorry Yes the hair is on purpose And the dirt is extra

Did you get dirt from a Wendy's salad, didn't you? No, it was a Carl's Jr. Yeah. I'll never forget that. It was a dirt cloud in there. And it was like, I know I always say this, but I always have to point out, it was like a wet dirt clod. But if you tapped on it, it opened up and it was full of dried dirt. Yeah.

So it was like crazy, remember crazy sand or whatever it was, magic sand, was it? Oh, yeah, yeah. Is that what that was called? Oh, interesting. When we were kids, whatever that stuff was. But it was one of the worst things that ever happened to me at any sort of food. establishment and it took me 20 years between

then and the next time I ate anything at Carl's Jr. Wow. That's right. It was the footprint on the Wendy's burger. That's right. Yes, right. Yeah. Somebody stole. That was the Wendy's experience. Yeah, so Wendy's has their moments. It says here, female officer drove through

this drive up, reportedly started eating her food and she discovered that hair and dirt were in there. Chicago Police Department, CPD has confirmed that the detectives are investigating the incident, the news outlet states the officer proceeded to order a double cheeseburger and was already eating when she found hair and dirt. Oh, just dirt.

Just the sound of dirt in your teeth, man. Yeah. That's the worst. All I have to do to Kim, I think I've said this before, all I have to do is suggest the idea that there's sand in something. Uh-huh. And she can't put her teeth together for the next 20 minutes or something. Oh, yeah, right, right.

Oh, I hate that. Well, I hit that feeling, too. And it's sad because I really like clam chowder, but that you, I know exactly the thing you described, the sand, the grit that you sometimes get. I get that sometimes just eating an oyster, like you get a little chunk of shell in there. Yeah, it's just part of my problem with those things. But, man, people like, oh, here in Boston or wherever, Vermont, we can't eat clam chowder unless there's some sand in it. And like, well, then more for you then.

I don't want it. Yeah. Well, it's, I don't know those things have a quota that they must contain sand. Yeah, the one I had, supposedly it was a very authentic bowl I had in San Francisco once. yeah was full of sand and i said to the lady this seems wrong is this normal she's like oh that's that's what everyone demands this is how this is how you know it's authentic i'm like yeah maybe what else is on your menu that must be something she tells to our obvious tourists oh yeah everybody demands it this is authentic yeah i never kind of i kind of never got over

that statement because i just yeah that is that is such bullshit that is such like uh can it be true it's not true pardon my french but That seems like total BS. Yeah. Chat room, unless someone can confirm, I think that lady was having her away with me a little bit. Again,

I think that might not be the phrase you meant. Oh, that may not be the way to mention to say. She's having a laugh. Gotcha. Let's see here. Oh, they talked to the manager of the place. The manager gave the sergeant attitude,

says the report. that would not take her complaint seriously and all they would do is offer her a refund the report well i don't know what else are they expect her to do though like beyond a refund what would you expect from that just a yeah i mean i guess an apology and a and a here's a here's a coupon for a free we're giving you this one and we're and uh you'll make your burger we apologize and here's a coupon for another free entree sometime you come back yeah there's there's like a three there's a three win kind of way to do this. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

They didn't do it. They did not do it. They did not follow the rules. The report notes that the officer became ill as a result of the incident, began to throw up several times. She declined medical attention at the scene, though, because she's a tough mother ever. Yeah, I have issue with hair.

If I find hair in food, even if it's Tina's, even if it's, you know, believe it or not, I do have hair, eyebrows. and stuff like that. Even my own, I think I have issue with, I have a problem with any hair and food. I know, I know Rublax says, wow, Brian has an issue with hair. I mean, I think a lot of people do. That's pretty common.

But I always wonder, like, if it's such a strange thing for humans to be totally cool with, like, you know, let's say you're with your girlfriend. And you're running your fingers through her hair. You love her hair, beautiful, long, illustrious hair. it's so nice you love it the minute one of those strands falls off and lands in your soup you're like this is the worst thing that's ever happened to me i can't eat this yeah it totally is exactly i i'm sorry we cannot see each other anymore that's so weird i loved your hair to run my fingers through it uh now that it's been in my mouth now i'm done bye bye yeah the same hair you were just nuzzling before going oh your hair smells so great you know having it all up in your face

like worse than you're going to do with that soup when you take it out yet somehow the minute it detaches we all get grossed out it's really weird weird human behavior but i get it i'm with you i don't want anybody's hair in there uh i assume the worst like if it's a hair i don't i don't even think it's the server i go well who's what what cook's armpit strangly armpit hair oh yo god yeah because you don't have to assume you don't want to oh god yeah you don't have to assume that it's from their head because they probably have a net yeah is the terry in the chat says another Seinfeld reference what the hair thing i don't remember that is that a thing like when it leaves your body

It's suddenly gross. Yeah, I don't know. Okay. Well, yeah. Strangly armpit hair. Let's move on to this story here about Pete Davidson. Who guaranteed has straggly armpit hair. Oh, you know he does.

And it all, it's all. Somebody, I can't remember where I heard of it. Somebody was doing an impersonation of Pete Davidson says, Hi, I'm Pete Davidson. My tattoos look like the notebook of a teenage school shooter. So now that's all I can pick of. They do. He doesn't even bother with it.

He just goes into whoever does him for him and says, here, write this sentence and do it. Right. Yes. In this crappy writing, you know, like I don't understand that guy.

Actually, I kind of, I think he's funny, but I do not understand his current. What is the allure? Right. How does he go from Kate Begginsale to Ariana Grande to Kim Kardashian?

I really don't get it. Girls like funny guys, I guess, but. Yeah. Something's up there. I mean, Another Seinfeld references, he's the Kvorka?

Isn't that the thing when the Kramer? Yeah, the Kavarka. Yeah, the Kvorka. When the lady's trying to leave the Orthodox Lithuanian, whatever. Yes, exactly. I remember, what brings you to defeat? What brings you to defeat? That guy says.

Yeah. Well, anyways, no longer going to space. This was a bit of news a couple weeks ago that we actually failed a report here, but he was going to fly in the Bezos rocket. Right, right. For some reason, Pete Davidson was going to space. That's no longer happening because the launch got postponed and to change things. He's not going on Blue Origins next place flight after the company pushed back the launch by six days.

The launch of the Bezos-owned company rocket originally set for March 23rd is now for the 29th. That's today. Blue Origins' 20th flight of New Shepherd has shifted, blah, blah, blah. Let's see. Five paying customers are set to go on the flight. This includes Marty Allen, an investor and former CEO of the party supply store. Oh, my lord. Wait a minute.

The guy owns the CEO of a party supply store is a... Yep. Pretty weird, right? All right. That's a weird one. Jim Kitchen, an entrepreneur and business professional, professor, rather. George Neald, a former associate administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration Office of Commercial Space Transportation. Mark Hegel

and Orlando real estate developer and his wife and his wife Sharon Hegel And the rest She founded a space focused non-profit Anyway

Let's see This doesn't really get into What happened with I think it was a scheduling issue Right Because Pete Davidson Is somehow so busy That he can't go to space now

Give me a break That's the question what is so what do you have scheduled that you can't reschedule or miss because you're going into space I don't get it this whole thing is this nightmare we're all living in a nightmare that's what's going yeah yeah anyway so he's not going to space you're not going to get his hot take after his space travel um you'll just probably hear some take about him in a car with Kardashian doing something that's what you further angering uh ye yeah do you think he um there there's a new Kardashian show coming to the Hulu I guess

Okay. Like a brand new one. And I've zero interest in it. Yeah. There's another one I won't watch. Yeah. But do you think he's going to be all up in that? Probably.

Probably. Probably. Yeah, I would assume so. I mean, if it focuses, depends on how much it focuses on Kim and not Chloe and Courtney. Because she's definitely in it. And her mom's in it. I know because she was announcing it on Twitter. Whatever.

I don't understand the allure of any of that stuff. Also, she's in trouble right now. Kim Kardashian's in trouble the other day for saying, telling women to work harder or something if they want to succeed in life and I'm like dude you're famous for doing it with a right you're the only

reason we know about you is because of a sex tape you made with Ray J yeah with Ray J how's that going for you I mean I understand look whatever once you're there maybe they're savvy with media and I don't want to discount any actual business acumen that may exist in the Kardashian family

but yeah sometimes you're just getting lucky and sometimes you're more plastic than human, and sometimes that's all just working for you in the moment. Did she tell women to work harder or work it harder? I think she said work harder, and then she apologized. Oh, it's one of those apologies where she says, I'm sorry if anyone received it in a different way. The I'm sorry, the good old I'm sorry if. Yeah, the sorry ifs.

Those always work real well in the long run. Nice job. Yes. That's going to do it for the news for now. We have some more tomorrow. We have a Denver story for tomorrow, so that'll be fun. we'll get to all that later but today we got to make room for our guests coming up we got bill coming up we got bobby coming up a little science little making stuff before all of that a song break that brian ibitt made or has yeah i wish i could say i made it uh we're going to be listening to a band called the lazy eyes um pulling the information up because uh you know i can't read time and know to expect that we're getting to the point of the show where i'm going to need to talk about a song um all right these guys are uh like psych pop, super cool psych pop psych rock, which is psychedelic rock, but they shorten it for the kids

This is called Starting Over. All right. We're going to play it now. And when we come back, Bill and Bobby, stay tuned. I had a feeling that I knew you'd understand, starting over, shaking hands, meeting not afraid to start again, start again. From the moment that I saw you, I was sure, didn't notice you before. Time to changing people stranger than before. Someone's going to change your mind.

I don't like this marriage anymore. I've been living life with my husband on the edge of a knife. Eat it? The morning stream, when news breaks, we're there the next morning, except on Fridays and the weekend. All right, we're back. Hey, Brian, tell me who that was again. That song, again, is called Starting Over. It's by the band The Lazy Eyes from Australia coming up on their brand new album songbook,

which comes out next month, April 22nd. Go check it out. The band is The Lazy Eyes. Very, very nice. Little flaming lips in there, a little tame impala. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Not a different impala, but the tame impala.

Yeah, the tame impala, the one that behaves itself and does what I tell it. That's right. Yeah, the tame impala. We're going to dive into some maker business with this. Your bat caves open there, Bill. Bill Durand joining us as he does each and every Tuesday to talk about the world of makers and making things. I've been on a real run lately with some cool stuff. Bill, welcome back.

How are you? Oh, yeah. I'm doing good. I got a cat right here. Yeah. I don't know if you can hear her, but I can... What's she made out of? Yeah, what are you got? Mostly... Resin or...

A resin cat? Well, actually, she's mostly fur, and a lot of that fur ends up in a lot of my props. Carved her out of some wrestling foam. Yeah, a big old block of foam. Yeah. You can always tell when somebody's got a cat and all their computer stuff and everything gets like that stuff in there. There's just no getting around it. And it's fine.

She's your... She's your cat, you know? She's your cat. Hey, Bill. Yeah. When last we spoke, I was working on, I don't know if you're looking at the stream, at the video stream. I was working on this Star Wars Khyber crystal holder right here. Oh, yeah.

So good. Brady resin printed. That was Model 1, which I did a week ago. I have now come out with Model 2. That's how it always works. Interated. Still unpainted. But this one is.

has got the Star Wars elements on there. Oh, yeah. The indentations, that. Some greeblies? Some greeblies, exactly. Yeah. The piping on top is now silver, chrome painted. And because I think ahead, I even create a little, little holes in the back where I can hang out of the wall. Oh, that's great.

Yeah. I didn't even think about it in a shelf configuration. That's awesome. Yeah, because I've got my lightsabers right back there, and this will sit right beneath the lightsabers once it's painted. Oh, it's so perfect. And it still lights up. You know, you just move one of the crystals or you move the middle crystal, and it all lights up. That's awesome.

Does that yellow one sit in there weird? Why is that one? Are they – I guess they're not snug. They're just sort of hanging out in there. Yeah, they just sit there. They're like little – this is what the sleastacks used to play with on Land of the Lost to trigger the time portal. Oh, man. Ask your uncles, I guess. Ask somebody old about that one.

That's a hell of a thing. Well, all right, that's a good update. I like that. It's looking really good. Yeah, I love that the iteration that 3D printing allows is one of my favorite things. Yeah, that's awesome. I like the term greeblies, because I know exactly what you're doing? Yeah, adding little greeblies to make it look authentic.

The greeblies sounds like a race in Star Wars, let alone a, what do you call them, thing on there. Hey, Bill, you brought stuff. What are you working on? What are you doing? Sure did. Yeah, I wanted to talk about YouTube. Something that happens a lot on YouTube and something I've experienced. Every once in a while, you may notice that your favorite YouTuber makes a change.

It changed the way they make their videos. Maybe podcasts, probably happens to podcasts too, right? Sure does, yep. And every once in a while, now I've been making YouTube videos for over a decade now. And every once in a while, someone leaves a comment to point that, that out to me, that, you know, they're disappointed because I don't make videos the same way I make that, you know, a decade ago, or really, whatever it is that they, they jumped on the train, right?

And it's true. If you go back and watch one of my videos from 2012, they're quite different. Yeah. They're a lot longer now. It turns out. Right. They're less frequent now. They're longer.

I use more expensive tools. I use more advanced techniques. And I'm a lot better at talking to the camera. I also have a lot less gray hair in my head and beard. Yeah. Something's changed, right? That stuff really took on life of its own during COVID. I noticed your gray went from, you know, just starting to, you know, a nice full gray thing going on.

For sure. Same with my. Oh, yeah. I just wish the gray on either side of my beard would come in evenly so that it looked intentional. Yeah. Well, you could be like me where you still get the brown on the sides. But underneath here, it's like white. and then over here it's a weird...

What is that about? Why is it so much to ask that we could all just have at least one genetic thing that isn't all over the damn map? How about that? Right. It may be something that looks better as we grow older. I don't know. That would be nice. Exactly.

So, yeah, like I said, I've been making these videos for 10 years and it's changed a lot. And I'm here to tell you, everyone, even though it's a bummer when your favorite YouTuber no longer makes videos for you, let's say, that change is inevitable, it's necessary, and it is good. It is good. I realize that if I make a change to my videos,

like intentionally change the way I make my videos, I will probably lose viewers. And sometimes people like to point this out. And I like to tell them that I already know and worry about that. Sure. It's already on my mind. I mean, trust me, is somebody who's had, I don't know, almost 20 years of this and you make a change to a format that somebody's used to,

they lose their minds like even when if i change up when i change this music in the show uh we have this mid break thing where i moved to this recently right so it's this like cool transitional music and um it was just to change things up no big deal most people are 100% fine with it even brian was like oh it's cool i like that oh love that track yeah it was like a neat little change i still got emails from people going my brain can't deal with it i can't deal with the change right so you're going to have that kind of even for small dumb stuff like that. Or even if you just, like, get a new microphone and your voice sounds slightly different.

Yeah, actually I'm having that right now because my mixer changed and I still haven't quite dialed in my settings for voice stuff. So I think I sound a little different in the last couple days and I'm trying to, I'm trying to narrow it back. It's hard as hell to actually do that. I didn't actually mean to do it. But, yeah, that can be enough to have people go, this is a change and, you know, different people are going to have different sensitivities of those changes, I guess, that sort of thing.

I feel you. An interesting to think about it with a, so my YouTube channel is 10 years old. We have 700,000 subscribers, and we gain them over the 10 years, right? We get new viewers every day. We lose viewers every day. It's this constantly evolving mass of humanity, right? And trying to appease, like, let's say someone who would be considered an older viewer, just to keep them around could also mean alienating newer viewers.

Like, there's this weird, it's this weird algebra that you just kind of have to play in your head when you're making these decisions. And it's all part of the process. So what I wanted to talk about is why? Why do we change? Why do our content? Why does it change over time? And I have a couple of good reasons here. So first of all, we try really hard to make better quality videos.

Every video we make, we try and make a little better than the last one. Yep, absolutely. Right? So that means like, I have a new lab mic that makes me sound a little different because the old one broke. I got new camera lenses. We get new cameras. We try different things with the lights. We try and up the production value.

And that changes the final product. And we can change it dramatically, too. But also, over 10 years, like, we do this as a business and the model changes and our goals change. Something I love pointing out is when I started making video. I wasn't making any money from videos. All of my income was from commission props and resin castings. Now I don't do any of that at all. And all of my income comes from videos and books.

And that changed over the, let's say the first five years of making my videos. In the first video I've made, I point out, oh, look, everyone, I'm not making tutorials, okay? These videos are just for fun. And now it's all I do, right? Yes, right. And most people would be like, yeah, awesome. I love that you make the tutorials. But if I stop making tutorials now, there will be a riot, right?

Yeah. Unless I do it very slowly over a long period. Right, that's the thing is. Really gradual. Yeah. More gradually you do it the less they notice, but it's these abrupt changes that can really throw people into a tizzy. Yeah. I don't know how you do that.

Do you just slowly start shortening the tutorials until finally they're gone? Oh, you know what, Bill? I wonder if this is true for you. So this has always been true for me in the show. If I announce a change, it's way worse. Yes. If I just do the change and just have it happen organically and don't bring any attention to it,

90% of the time nobody even notices. Or if they do, they're just like, oh, well, this is just different and they move on. But somehow when you make a point of it, now it's a talking point. They have to have a reaction. We're going to be changing that middle of the show theme song that we play when we come out of the Indian

the middle it's like oh no yeah people would have freaked out some other good reasons why we changed so my skills and my wants as a maker have changed the things i want to do the the type of projects i want to tackle have changed i've learned a lot of new skills over the last 10 years i've also acquired a lot of new tools a lot of very fun new tool 3d printers laser cutters vinyl cutters i have a rad CNC machine now and I have an intense desire to use all of these neat tools 10 years ago I had like a sander and a scroll saw and some knives and that's it so though my videos reflected that and over time as I as I acquired more tools and skills they've got looped up in the

videos but that means it's a huge shift in how I made those videos what were the what were the knives for what did you use those for back in the day I mean I use knives every day for all sorts of things but back then that was all i had just like an exacto knife right gotcha cutting plastic or whatever so if you're making one of these uh let's see where's that gun put it somewhere close so i could have it here anyway your jim rainer gun you gave me uh yeah probably part of that was like you scraping around with with knives and exactos and junk like that right i think i used rocks and sticks for that one scott it was early it was the early days yeah Crude tools made from the bone of a yak.

Yes. I love this thing and I'll never let it go because to me it represents this like a moment in your career where things are about to pop, you know? I love that. And I don't even have one of those. Yeah. Yeah. You don't even have one to look at. Look, in my will, I'll say this goes back to Bill if I die.

Excellent. Oh, fantastic. Yeah. And then you'll hide it somewhere because you don't actually want to look at it because you'll be annoyed at how old it is. I know that feeling. A couple more things here. One of the things that leads to a lot of change is that keeping things fresh makes this fun for me.

While someone might get to watch a 45-minute video for me every couple of weeks or every month or so, I spend all day every day making these things. And if I just keep making similar props using similar methods and materials, I would get bored. I would get so bored. So changing and updating things makes it fun.

for me and I don't know if everyone that watches my videos knows this but that's the most important thing as far as the outcomes of the videos concerns the most important thing is that it's fun for me to make yeah and I and that and that has to stay that way otherwise I will not make videos anymore I'm with you dude that's a that's a real I'm glad you brought that up because similar I mean a lot of people want to know just like the you know all of the reasons why the instance ended when it did and part of it was you can only spend so long trying to force it to be what it either was at its peak yeah or what it can't be given the certain you know current circumstances around blizzard or other things and trying to force it never works

it never freaking works and no matter what you do it no matter how hard you try no matter how earnest you are if you are not passionate for it it will eventually end in sadness so you got yeah yeah we gotta not do it we had a while when we were in our big shop where we were putting on a video every week they were long they're like half an hour to a 45 minute video every single week and our YouTube channel was doing gangbusters like we were getting more views than we've ever got before uh and it was destroying me it was so much work and it wasn't fun anymore um everyone watching the videos loved it it. And the data reflected that, but it was, I couldn't keep it up. Like, it was just an

insane amount of work. And like I said, most importantly, it was no longer fun, which is why we don't make as many videos as we make as we did back back. Sure. It was insane. And my last point is that life circumstances change. So moving into and then back out of that big shop had a huge impact on the way we make our videos. And some of those things, we can't, we, it's out of my hands. You can't replicate. Yeah. Exactly.

Yeah. So we make videos now the way we want to make them. We have fun when we make them and we make them at a pace that is healthy for us. Yeah. And if that means that someone doesn't want to watch my YouTube videos anymore because I'm not making them for them anymore, that is a them problem. It's not a me problem. It's a problem with them. Sure.

Well, this is good advice, man. You've been there long enough, I think, that. that is enough for people to hear that and go, oh, I should really take that advice seriously from a guy who's done this for more than a decade. Sure. Really,

the lesson is just a little more empathy towards your creators. Yeah, that's a good idea. I agree with that. I had somebody, it wasn't this show, and I don't want to say what it was. I don't want to make a bigger deal out of it or give them too much oxygen,

but there's an actual patron of another show, not this one, who was being really mean and saying terrible things in a Patreon reply about one of my co-hosts who I consider to be like brothers and I was so pissed at this

because it just was it was showed that like the least possible amount of empathy and truly it was this moment of like you you are treating these human beings like they're only objects to you and they are only there to perform for you and do exactly what you think they should be doing

with their lives and you've forgotten completely about the fact that they're actually real human beings and they have real lives and they you know they have feelings and stuff so I I went total I did I try not to go off on that stuff but I couldn't help it it's like dude what are you even freaking doing? No you got to defend them like your your brothers

yeah you know so anytime that stuff happens it's just like gosh dang it freaking I haven't been on the receiving end of that we don't have regular guests on our channel or anything people we bring in all the time but I've watched I've had friends who do that sort of thing And sometimes someone will say, oh, I really don't like the new host you have.

And the maker is like, well, it's my friend. So what do you expect me to do with that information, right? Just go to my friend and be like, bad news, the folks don't like you. Or this one guy doesn't like you. You're off the show, right? Right. Yeah. Or do I just block that one guy and never hear from him again?

I'm like, ah, that seems a little bit less resistance than telling off my friend. Yeah. I mean, all you can do is just. just move on, say, well, I'm sorry, and if you find you missed the content, come on back because I'm still going to be making it for you. That's right. That's right. That's a great attitude. It's a great attitude and the tasty way to have it. All right. Bill, as always, you leave us with a little bonus link or content of some sort. What do you got today? Yes, I do. One of my favorite YouTubers, our friend Ali Spagnola, who is always hustling. She is such a go-getter.

she decided to cover her car in pop sockets this is after she covered her car in AstroTurf and then she made it into a driving Chia Pet Chia Pet, yeah so awesome so she's removed that to cover the entire thing in pop sockets I've seen, I've witnessed this car in person it is becoming quite the legend

her dumping all the pop sockets out that she bought in bulk yeah it was like a weird weird levels of anxiety for me because I just thought That is so many, so many freaking pop sockets and you're going to have to put them all over your car. That car will never, that car will either never be resellable or will be the ultimate valued car in the history of the world by the time. Exactly right. Those pop sockets don't have an adhesive on them. They've got like a really sticky rubber surface that just like you can peel off and not leave any sort of residue.

Oh, yeah. But what I mean is like it's the same car that had that other stuff done. And when she went to put these pop sockets on it, it's still covered in like well that's true yeah it's got the residue from the previous but I think I think she's on to something she may be able to sell this car one day for way more

than it's worth because it'll be seen as the car that had all that weird shit yeah yeah exactly it's a Toyota Yaris it won't be that it won't have to be that much to be more than the car's worth yeah this is true and these popsockets she did this with a wall once right the same stuff yeah I played with that wall it's cool

yeah do you pull them all out and then you just kind of fall back on the wall and let them all go I pulled like 10 of them out okay all right yeah interesting

oh that was fun I'm not doing that whole thing pretty great though I wish I had a car I could just do this too yeah these kind of ideas but this is what she does

so go check it out it's pretty great Alex Pagnolo on her what do you call it her YouTube account is what I'm trying to say YouTube

and her music's amazing her fitness stuff is great she's just a all around kind of a content psycho really she is I envy the amount of content that she puts out on a regular basis it's absolutely amazing oh she's peeling the the chia pet off the car

this is so nasty because that was it's all dead now oh gross that makes me want to take that car straight over to A1 and get it cleaned anyway hey Bill this has been great always fun to have you on in the meantime people can check out your stuff at punish props.com

and of course the punished props YouTube channel, which if you just search YouTube, you'll find it. You should subscribe because there's great stuff there. We hope you have a great week, and we'll see you next time. Bye, Lou. See ya. Bye, Bill. Bye.

Bobber. Hey, Bill. Bye. See you later, Bill. All right. Bobby incoming. Yeah. Yeah. Let's get a little science in our lives. Yeah. Because why not, I say. Science.

It's always good to have Bobby on. We're going to play his little thing here. Science. Hey, it's time for some science. Yeah, you heard me. Science with Bobby Frankenberger, who joins us from South Carolina, right, Bobby? That's where you're at. That's right.

Columbia, South Carolina, the capital of the state. Yeah, you got, that's where all the moving and shaking happens. That's where it all happens. We make it happen here in Columbia, South Carolina. Have you, who's, give me the most famous person that you know of that came out of Columbia, South Carolina. Do you think of one? It's not a politician. They all suck.

Forget those guys. Yeah, right. I can't think of anybody, eh? That's all right. It's okay. You don't always have to have someone famous come out of your hometown. It's totally fine. We have a gym named after Strom Thurmond, the famous racist senator.

Oh, yeah. He was racist and a senator. You're right. All right. I'll give you some. How about Aziz Ansari? from Parks and Recreation. How about Anna Camp,

who always plays the blonde woman that you hate in movies? Yeah, sure. Who else? What else are you? Mike Colter, the actor, Mike Colter. Oh, Mike's people from South Carolina, not necessarily. Luke Cage's Mike Coulter is from,

no, he's from Columbia, South Carolina. These are either born in, residents of, or closely associated with Columbia, South Carolina. I will, I'll clear that up. Mostly associated. Well, I know that as he's on sorry, he was born there because he's talked about it before. So that one's legit.

The Parks and Rec dude. What's his name? The late night guy that is, I'm bad with names, with the glasses. Oh, Steve and Colbert? Colbert. He's from South Carolina. Oh, all right. I didn't know that. See? Not from Columbia, though,

according to this. No, no. But look at that, though. How about... Go ahead. Yeah, how about Kristen Davis, who played Charlotte, I think, on Sex and the City? She's one of those ladies. Yeah, she's one of those ladies that were, you know, too old to be doing it with Chris Noth or whatever. So she's good.

Look, you got, I'm saying. Listen, she was born in Boulder, just right up the street, moved to Columbia, South Carolina when she was a little kid where she stayed for a long time, lived for a long time. Her father was provost and taught psychology at the University of South Carolina. Oh, very nice. That's where I got my psychology degree. Oh, my God. You might have been taught by Charleston. it's dad. Yeah. Who knows? You never know. You might be a Miranda. Yeah. So I'm going to say my

favorite, my favorite person born and lives there is probably Bobby Frankenberger, who joins us today for a little science with Bobby. Way to bring it back. Yeah, you know, that's what I do. Hey, Bobby, I got an email for you real quick. I didn't warn you about this. You never do. This is before we talk about the big hole we've made. We'll get to that in a minute. This is a question for Bobby from Mike eye, I think, or maybe that's a lowercase L, I'm not sure. I think it's I. Anyway, says, was wondering if Bobby had a favorite science story from last year

and why, Mike. So, 2021 I guess. Was there a story that year where you were like, oh man, this is an innovative thing or I'll never forget this or this changes everything that wasn't like COVID stuff or something, you know what I mean? Well, that's the tough thing, right? Because last year was dominated

by COVID and everything else seemed so small. but the my favorite thing from last year unfortunately was COVID-related but it's like tangential or touches on it which was the fact that the two Nobel Prize winners, both women

who won the Nobel Prize for for the CRISPR. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a big one. Yeah. So, CRISPR being the, oh man, I used to know what CRISPR, the entire acronym was. But the technology that allows scientists to be able to edit genes, like you're typing in a word document or something. Sure, sure, sure.

They won the Nobel Prize for that last year, and it was very, very, it was very quick that they won that they won that. And because it was so such a big, it's such a big life-changing or world-changing technology and stuff. Sure. Okay. Well, there you go. There's your answer, Mike. We hope that helped you. Let us know.

And if you guys have a question for Bob, you can send them in, the morningstream at gmail.com. Today, though, we're going to talk about something a little different. Remember those big, horrible Australia intense fires in late 2019, early 2020? Do you remember that? I do. It was bad. Yeah. And I remember a lot of Australian listeners in particular.

They were like, oh, you should see it. It's this and that and the other thing. And it was just real gnarly. They, that turns out that smoke actually damaged the ozone layer, which is already a little flaky. Oh, yeah. And because blazes like that do happen more and more frequently these days, obviously there's greater fear that we're going to accelerate the, you know, the deterioration of the ozone layer. But why this one in particular?

What happened here that's like made it so. distinct that we have to at least mention that the Australia fires in particular were were bad I don't know that it's that it's something particular about the Australia fires I mean they were really there were all it was a big big wildfire and lasted a really really long time so there was just a lot of smoke and I think it was really big I think that the news here is that this is the first time we've noticed that wildfires can negatively impact the ozone layer and it's a very frustrating finding because

because we worked so hard to fix and it was fixing itself like it was being repaired so to speak the hole in the ozone layer. So for those people who might not know about ozone and the ozone layer and maybe didn't

live through the 80s and 90s where everybody was constantly talking about the ozone layer the ozone layer ozone is oh three. It's three atoms of oxygen and floats around in the upper atmosphere well it floats around all throughout the

atmosphere but the ozone layer that we're talking about is in the upper atmosphere the stratosphere and the reason it's so important is that it absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun and it protects us

vulnerable puny weak humans on the earth from UVB and UVC light ultraviolet radiation and And the way that it does that is, and I'm explaining this not because it's just cool science, but also it'll help understand how wildfires have caused a problem, which is the way that the ozone layer protects us is that oxygen up in the atmosphere or ozone up in the atmosphere, whenever UV light hits it, it has enough energy that it will get absorbed by the ozone or the ozone or the O3. three atoms of oxygen. It absorbs that energy and it kicks off one of the oxygen atoms

and creates just an oxygen molecule, O2, and a float another free, they call them a free radical oxygen atoms floating around. So it just knocks one of the oxygen atoms off. Now you would think, okay, so wouldn't you just run out of ozone from, wouldn't the sun destroy the ozone layer if it's doing that, right? Yeah. But it's a self-sustaining process because other close-related ultraviolet wavelengths also do the opposite. They provide the energy for oxygen and those individual atoms to recombine to create ozone.

So ultraviolet radiation from the sun is destroying ozone and then also creating it all the time. But because it's doing that, it has to absorb the radiation from the sun. And so by absorbing it and causing that to happen, it doesn't make it down to us. And it protects us. Right. So the ozone layer is very important. Yeah, yeah. Because otherwise you'd have a really bad sunburn.

So what is it, why is it? You'd sizzle when you walk outside. Yeah. Why are you always, we always hear about, um, uh, cow farts wrecking it. Oh, methane? Yeah, what's the deal with methane? I don't know that that does anything to the ozone layer. it does that's a different problem methane is a greenhouse gas so it's so I'm glad you brought that up because

it's it's easy to conflate these two they're both global warming or or climate change they're all environmental issues but the ozone layer the reason that's such a big deal is not so it that's not necessarily contributing to a greenhouse effect it's just that it's protecting life on earth from radiation from the sun, dangerous radiation from the sun. So that's why the ozone layer is important. But it does get a little bit more tangled up with this climate change thing that we're dealing with because of these wildfires, all right? So do you guys remember back in the 80s and 90s when ozone, everyone was constantly

talking about the whole of ozone? It was the hot thing to talk about back then. All the rate. Get it? I get it. You remember what it was that was the cult, what everybody was blaming for putting? Oh, CFCs, right? It was hairspray.

Hairsprays and stuff. Yeah. Yeah, CFCs, hairspr was a big thing. So CFCs are chloro-fluorocarbons. That's the molecule. But we shorten it to CFCs because no one wants to say chlorophy. I can barely say it. And so, yeah, hairspray.

like aerosol cans used CFCs as a propellant also it's in refrigerants for your refrigerator it was in a it was in styrofoam so this was a huge thing back in the 80s and 90s and scientists discovered that holy cow

we are rapidly like very rapidly within the next few decades back then they said by 2050 we're not going to have an ozone layer anymore that was their estimates and so there is this big political mobilization to say, we need to stop putting CFCs into anything. And it worked. And industries

stopped. They came up, scientists came up with an alternative. And now things just really aren't made with CFCs anymore. And not only did it work to get them to stop using it, but the ozone layer has recovered or has started to recover in a big, big way. And so it was like, this is a big success. Science and politics all coming together. Everybody felt good about it. at it and the whole world did something good, right? And the way that CFCs cause a problem is inside that giant molecule, there's a chlorine atom that the sun, the chlorine from the CFCs gets out and then interrupts the process, that process I described of oxygen, ozone breaking apart and recombining.

Because when it breaks apart, the chlorine will grab up one of the oxygen, molecules and won't let it recombine. Right. That's the simplified way to, it just interrupts the process when chlorine is in the atmosphere. So back to the wildfires, right? How did the wildfires cause an ozone depletion? Well, particles from the smoke get shot up into the stratosphere because it's really, really hot and hot things rise, right? Yeah.

Actually causes these fire-fueled thunderstorms that they call, the clouds they call them pyro-cumulonimbus clouds oh wow it's a cool name look at you they uh but yeah it's like these wildfires cause thunderstorms to happen

but the result is that smoke gets shot way up into the upper atmosphere and the smoke contains biological molecules and then the sun interacts with those and things get broken apart and there's all these chemicals in the atmosphere now that come from down below and one of those chemicals happens

to be chlorine. And so it causes the same problems that CFCs did and it starts to put, it starts to deteriorate the ozone layer again. And in fact, all of the, all of the, all of the, a lot of the progress that was made in repairing the ozone by by getting rid of CFCs has been undone just by, it looks like just by the Australia wildfires. And the ozone levels have dropped down below the average that there was between 2005 and 2019 and so

that's concerning why is it concerning because we have more and more and more wildfires and they're not predicted to slow down because of climate change yeah and that seems bad so all you Californians with your oops I dropped a cigarette out in the dirt careful this year not

not that that solves your problem you're going to have fires anyway but maybe some of the man-made ones could slow down, that'd be good, you know? Yeah. Yeah. All our fires always start with somebody's shooting. Certainly some wildfires are unavoidable.

Yeah, some are happening because... Lightning strikes. Right. Dry brush, whatever. Sure, sure. But the ones where, like, out here, I swear, ours always start with some ding-dong out and pacing with his shotgun trying to hit a pigeon 50 yards away and ends up starting to fire. It's gender reveal, Scott. It's the whole gender reveal party has caused all the wildfires.

That's right. It's all gender reveal. Yep. Just, you know what, next time you find out a gender, just say it. Yeah. Just go, oh, it's a girl. And be done. Yeah, exactly.

Be done. Not everything has to be a giant thing. Just say, here's the gender. He's a little boy. Okay. Dr. Burke had never invented social media. Yeah. We wouldn't have wildfires.

And we wouldn't have water. Totally true. Yeah. Well, all right. This is all bad news, but we're going to. Yeah, I know. You picked, I was searching for. like the positive twist, but I hate

to say it. We haven't figured out the climate change thing yet, guys. Yeah, we're still there. We're still digging around, but well, you know, whatever. It's also nice to hear when there are gains. Like, hearing the ozone layer was, you know, experienced a great deal of

healing after we made a big change. It is great. The ozone layer problem is reversible if we can stop getting things into the upper atmosphere that are causing problems. Yeah. It'll, because, it's because it's already proven that it will self-regulate if we back off we just treat it a little nicer yeah a little nicer right like your mother will still make you pie if you treat her nicely can't we all just get along with the upper atmosphere can't we getting along with the upper atmosphere with bobby is a great title someone take there we go somebody put that in yes it's real good uh bobby as always the pleasure of hanging out with you is ours but uh we'd like

people to know more about where they can get more stuff where is all around science and how do they get it all around science lives where podcasts live in the great podcast the lower atmosphere yeah the lower yeah and and we

we have a science episode every week where we talk about just cool things in science and what's going on in science news yesterday's episode that just came out we had we had Nikki Ackerman's back Nick, and she's always a delight to have on the episode. She is. She's awesome.

She's so fun. And we talked about whether birds have language or not. We discussed that. Oh, bird language. Birdledge, I call it. She'd be an expert on, right? Because she is a birder. Yeah.

And I'm realizing now that I missed the perfect opportunity for a birds-the-word joke. The bird, bird, bird is the word. Maybe she hasn't heard. Yeah, maybe she hasn't heard about the bird. About the bird? Yeah, about the bird. Nicky, Zoe says Nikki's coming to Vegas.

That's awesome. She is, yes. I hope she's bringing her big glasses. I hope so. Oh, yeah. I hope so. She's great. I feel dumb when I'm around her.

She is such delight, yeah. So I'm excited to feel even dumber while I'm around her, so we'll see how it goes. All right, excellent stuff. Bobby, always a pleasure to have you here. We wish you nothing but wind here back for the rest of your day. All right? We'll see you next time.

Bye now. all right Brian As we close out today I would like to mention the following thing Play retro today 330 Mountain Time going deep into the relationship

of Capcom and Disney back in the day when they were putting out games for the NES and Super NES and why one of those games in particular is considered an all-time classic that I never played at the time

but man do people love this game and that's Duck Tales for the for the Nintendo Entertainment System now that may sound dumb and boring and for kids or whatever but apparently and you're right it is and i played that game this week it is hard as nails it's really really freaking hard and a lot of people say this is the dark souls games before dark souls games um so yeah we'll get into that so bring your childhood memories and your nostalgia to play retro today at 330 mountain time right here at frogpants dot tv or later on the site or wherever you get your podcast just

look for play retro. It's also a brand new soundography. Yeah, tell me about it. Yeah, Manick Street Preachers, finally. Hammond and I've been talking about this one for a long time, but this is a Brit pop group that kind of barely made a little bit of a splash here in the U.S. Big in the UK, though, and the Manix. It's funny, I was in the Barnes & Noble the other day looking for the cover magazine.

The cover issue of Classic Rock Magazine. Oh, let's see what you got. I finally got The Rock's greatest covers It's like this You know, they should have just sent this to me If they weren't going to interview me for the article Then they should have just automatically sent this to me

I agree Anyway, you're the cover master What are they even thinking? I'm annoyed by this. What are they thinking? But you know, they've got those one-off quote-unquote magazines Like Justin Bieber magazine

And BTS magazine and stuff like that You see these weird things in Barnes & Noble They actually have a Manick Street Preachers magazine which blew my mind. I mean, it's one issue. These are all done as a single issue. They're really just fan books that are put into the periodicals section.

They used to do this with video games. They would do like a one-off issue of Halo or... Right, right. And it was really just cheat codes and tips on how to... Yeah, right. It was all... I mean, it's all just like a big ad, basically, but still it's kind of cool to have.

Exactly. I can't create a book, so I'm going to make a magazine. Yeah. Anyway. So that has absolutely zero to do with what soundography is about. Soundography, manic street preachers find out about this really cool band that had a bizarre disappearance of one of their members in their, early in their career. You'll find that at soundography.com and get it wherever you get your podcast.

Sounds great. Patreon.com slash TMS is how this show stays afloat. We're about to enter a new month very soon, so consider hopping in now. I want to thank Ryan Johnson, director of Knives Out, for being a supporter of the show. He's at the grade A plus level. Sure. I'm sure this Ryan Johnson never gets into. Totally the same one, yeah, for sure.

I really like Brick. Let's see. Princess Tocobo is also in here at the Great A Plus. Thank you for that. And also the Mird. The Mird, who is at our morning brew level, which is a really great level if you guys want to check that out. If none of these makes sense, do you?

Go check it out on the Patreon and you'll figure it out. Also, there will be a PM edition of the show this week. We had a couple of weeks of Playdate, then out of townage. Then me in Dallas. By the way, those three people, you just mentioned the patrons. Those, so Ryan Johnson, Princess Jacobo, and the MIRD, those are the final three bosses you encounter when you play Solid Ferret, the action RPG from TellTale Studios.

Solid ferret. Solid ferret. Yeah, the final three bosses that you get to. I want to play Solid Ferret now. Well done. I actually really like this new bit. It's very good. frogpants.com

slash TMS is for everything else you might need and I'm telling you. Requesting songs whatever, it's all there. So head on over there and check it out. The morning stream at gmail.com for your feedback and thoughts. That is it for the show. We do need to leave with a song though and Brian brought one.

I did. Well, Alex, aka Senraven, sent one. So technically I just brought his. He says, hi scoot and boot. My birthday is on the 27th. So I figured I would request something. What? I don't know.

But it don't know. but it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing, so make it swing, says Alex. Yeah, well, we had some requests earlier this week, so finally get to this one. But Alex, how about a cover of Technotronics classic Pump Up the Jam, which we actually talked about earlier in the show, or maybe it was in the pre-show. This is by an electro-swing band called Swing Rowers or Swing Growers. I can't tell where that G belongs. Maybe it's Swing Growers.

Maybe that's it. And you just pronounce the G with both words. This is from the EP. They released in 2014 called Do Not Cover. And it also includes a really cool Electro Swing cover of Mr. Sandman. But this one is the one I chose because I think it rocks. Here's Pump Up the Jam by Swing Growers.
