All across America and around the world, children listen with thrill and excitement in their hearts
as evangelist Tim Todd takes his little dummy friend Freddy out of his suitcase to share
life-changing Bible stories. Remind me not to take a dump in that hole.
This is the morning stream, a rat turd.
Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to TMS. It is the morning stream for Tuesday, April 19th, 2020. I'm Scott. He's Brian. Hi, Brian.
Hello, Scott. How are you? Oh, I don't know, man. I feel like I have more energy today than I have.
having a few days, but now I also look at my day and I realize I will expend it all
on a million things that are already lined up.
There's a lot going on today.
I did tell it pre-show you had a lot of energy.
Like a lot of singing, a lot of joking, jiving, jiving, all that.
Rappen?
Oh, yeah, always rapping.
Always be rapping, I say.
ABR.
Yeah, the deal is, so there's a lot going on today.
But today, some people will be like, wait a minute, I thought you ended the instance.
But CORE is doing an interview with a World of Warcraft dev after their announcement of whatever their new expansion will be today.
And so we'll be putting an interview on CORE talking about whatever 10.0 is in World of Warcraft.
Oh, wow. 10.10.0.
If you can imagine, it's pretty crazy.
Can't even imagine.
That announcement comes in about 45 minutes from Blizzard themselves, so maybe we'll see what that is.
But yeah, maybe dragons is what everyone's saying dragons.
So we'll see, whatever that means.
The important part is, you know, I heard somebody yesterday say the term running mythic Andouin, which is a thing you can do right now in the game.
Okay.
That sounds ridiculous.
If you go back 10 years, just 10 years when Andouin's a little whiny kid and you hear the term, I need to run Mythic Andouin, that just sounds like an insane thing to say to anybody else.
loud yeah it does but uh anyway that'll all soon be behind us and new expansion and we'll see
what happens so uh watch for that and that'll be like i mentioned on core tonight uh sometime i'll put
the file up after after play retro um all right brian today is a day where i wanted to play a thing
for you that you probably missed yeah okay i believe it was like a thing a thing i missed because i
wasn't there for it?
He just missed it because maybe the same reason I missed it.
I just didn't know it existed.
Just happened.
You and I are both, maybe not rabid, like watch every episode type guys, but we like
David Letterman when he was on.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Dave's a massive influence for me over the years.
And he did an interview once with Harrison Ford, and I didn't know about this interview.
And Harrison Ford says some pretty interesting stuff.
So I wanted to play this for you.
Uh, it's a joke. Harrison Ford tells a joke. All right. And whether you think it's funny or not will depend on how you feel after you hear it. Okay. So, oh no. Okay. So here it is. This is Harrison Ford telling a joke to Dave. Probably it may have been his, well, of course, it was a couple years ago. He hasn't been on since 2015. But Dave's, it may have been Dave's last week. It was one of those deals where everybody dressed up and had all his favorites on or whatever. Anyway, here is Harrison Ford, aka Han Solo, aka, uh, uh,
Indiana Jones. We name the dog Indiana. All that stuff.
Sure. Tell him this joke. Check it out.
So this guy's working in the produce department at the grocery store and the lady walks up and she says, excuse me, he says he is.
She says, where's the broccoli? I can't find the broccoli. He said, oh, I'm really sorry, ma'am.
He says, we ran out of broccoli. We'll have some tomorrow morning.
and he goes back to his work
and he's stacking the oranges
and he hears behind Mr. Mr.
He turns around and it's the same lady
and she says
where's the broccoli?
You got any broccoli?
He says no ma'am
we're fresh out of broccoli
we'll have some
tomorrow morning
goes back to work
a couple of minutes
a minute later, this woman walks right up in his face and she says, how come I can't find any broccoli?
He says, lady, he says, do me a favor, will you? She said, what? He says, how do you spell, indulge me?
How do you spell cat? He says, like in catastrophic. She says, C-A-T. He says, how do you spell dog?
like in dogmatic she says do g he says how do you spell like in broccoli she says there is no
brookly said that's what i'm trying to tell you ladies man is uh he's got unusual delivery style
first off it's just weird hearing harrison ford be funny outside of a character that he plays
i agree such a convergent otherwise yeah he seems like it right just a
you know, bad pilot
golf course land in Kermudgeon.
That's true.
Also, he hasn't done this.
I feel like this bit here.
She says,
there is no fucking broccoli.
That's what I'm trying to tell you,
ladies.
I feel like he hasn't yet like that since like Temple of Doom or something.
It's been...
Well, that ended up hearing an F bomb out of him is weird.
Yeah, that's true, yeah.
Yeah.
But I just thought that was a nice little treat.
And he does sound old.
And guys, he is old.
That was five years ago.
Or no, I'm sorry.
seven and a half years ago imagine how old he is now seven and a half years later you know what to imagine yeah that was that was very shortly after uh he got an refrigerator and uh survived an atomic blast yeah that was an important moment in cinema history that we should never forget never forget really powerful stuff yeah i would be fine if if uh indiana jones five which i guess is still mads mickleson says it's a uh it's a return to raiders of the
Lost Ark style, Indiana Jones.
That would be nice.
They should have never left that style.
I agree.
I agree.
Like, what is the point of leaving that style in the first place?
So that's good.
Right.
Yeah, I guess that's still happening.
We don't need a family comedy, Indiana Jones.
We don't need it.
Let's see, Indy 5.
Let's get a release date.
We have one.
I guess Indy 3 was technically family comedies.
Just weird how they did so well with 3 and so poorly with 4 when it was introduce a new family
member and have them come along with you on.
the adventure yeah i guess that's what they were trying to replicate there i suppose
maybe yeah oh here it is indy five here's what we know oh i Spielberg's not directing it
no uh-uh james mangold is doing it i didn't know that yeah i don't know how i feel but he made
he made no i's a good movie i'm like yeah exactly and spilberg made uh temple of the forbinaire
or whatever it was called uh crystal skull crystal crystal unit there okay let's see here you got your
Harrison Ford. You get your Mads-Mickleson. Of course, your Phoebe Waller Bridge.
Gosh, she's great. Yeah. Antonio Banderas, Toby Jones. This is a decent cast.
Indiana Jones and the Lost Fleabag. That's what's going to be called. Yep.
There's no, it says, the plot is unknown at this time, and there is no release tape. So enjoy.
2023, it says. So we have a year. It's next year. And if they don't hurry up, Harrison Ford might not be with us. So come on.
Oh, geez. Jeez. I mean, heaven forbid, you don't want that guy to die.
Of course, yeah.
I mean, what will be left?
Just the ranch and a lawyer girl living on the ranch?
What's her name?
His current wife who was on that show where she was a lawyer, Allie McBeal.
Cali, Calista Flockhart.
Callista Flockhart, just running the ranch, keeping the cows fed and all that.
That's right.
What was the, remind me the future on the Allie McBeal equivalent.
What was it?
It was something female lawyer.
Oh, I love that one.
Yeah, you too.
Where's lure and his people?
Yes, it's hooked on.
I love that one.
I can't think about it.
Just single female or sexy female lawyer?
I think it's single female lawyer.
I think that's it.
Single female lawyer.
Yeah, it's definitely not sexy.
Yeah, it was a great, great episode, good stuff.
Anyway, there's that.
Hey, I had a Vegas dream.
Oh, okay.
All right.
In a week from now, we're in Vegas.
It's happening.
We are, yes.
And so here's the deal.
The meeting to ask you, by the way, are Nick
and Carter. I know Kim's coming, obviously, but
kids are not. Carter's got
a big work thing, and Nick is
working two jobs right now, so
he is not going to. Gotcha. So the big
party will be at the Johnson House
from the 25th to the...
Yeah, I got all those cameras aimed
squarely at the...
Kanger!
My guess is it'll be Carter, a dog, and that'll be
it. But anyway, so
we
get to Vegas in this dream,
and for some reason we all arrived together
in an entourage-style arrival.
So it's me and you and everybody,
all just kind of in a big wad.
Like the opening credits of the HBO series,
or you mean just we all show up at the same time?
I can't say,
because I've never seen that series,
not even once.
So I don't know.
But maybe, maybe it matches that.
But we're all together,
and we come in like a big entrance,
and I don't know what casino it is,
but it's a fancy one.
Okay.
And we open the doors,
and there's people lined up
on the left and on the right, just throngs of people.
And they just erupt in applause.
We walk in there.
There's clapping and screaming and whatever.
And we get up there and we go to the main desk and those people are so eager to help us.
They're so stoked.
Oh, Mr. I'm take your bags out.
No need for tips here.
We're doing this all for you.
And Mr. Johnson, do you need anything?
Can we get you anything?
You know, just this whole like Mr. Ibit, Mr. Johnson treatment.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the, oh, here's the best part of the dream.
So as soon as we're done checking in, we turn around and right behind us are two pedicure or petty, manny, petty stations.
Many, petty, okay, all right.
And a little Asian lady on each one, which is just, you know, a stereotype that you see a lot of Asian folks doing that.
So we turn around and me and Brian pop down, pull our shoes off, and we get pedicures right there in the thing.
And people are going, oh, whew!
I was already, like, hating this, like, walk through the wedding tunnel kind of experience,
and then you brought in like, oh, I'll have to take my shoes off in front of listeners, what?
Yep, in front of everybody, our big, gnarly feet out on full display, and they love it.
They love it.
They just eat it up, and that's where I woke up, so I don't know where that's, you know.
With some of the other dreams you've had, I'm glad it ended there.
I'm glad that that's where...
Yeah, I heard the dog bark.
I had the dog not bark, perhaps, I would have gotten more.
But you'll all have to come to Vegas and see what happens after the pedicures.
I don't know.
Yes, exactly.
Hopefully something okay and not terrible.
Yeah, and don't, you know, it sounds fun, but don't try to make this happen, people.
No, no, no, no.
I'm not getting a many petty any time during TMS, Vegas.
Yeah, you could tell me, okay, I've had one of these done once in my entire life.
It was my sister-in-law.
I went there with Tina.
She's like, let's go get a pedicure.
I've never had a manicure.
Let's go get a pedicure.
And there's no audience for that.
You just go do it, right?
Yeah, exactly.
And I felt weird the whole time.
Like, I wanted to chit-chat with the woman working on my feet.
And, you know, it's a stereotype.
But she was an Asian woman.
A little Asian woman.
And she didn't, she was not talking.
I don't think she understood me.
So.
No.
She just saw the work.
head of her and got to it. I get it. Right, exactly. I think that's what you do, too.
If you have to work on people's feet all day long, your mind is anywhere else.
Oh, yeah. You are at Knott's Berry Farm with your brain for those, for that 30 minutes,
riding Montezuma's revenge.
She's, you know, I'd love to know what their, what their happy place is while they're working on my narnly feet.
But feed are gross, and I don't want an audience for feet ever.
So, you know, I know there's some people that are really into feet.
Hey, no judgment here.
Hey, do you see my movie?
Pulp Fiction?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Check my movie out.
Hey, you like that Pulp Fiction?
You show your feet.
I don't require nudity.
I require a feet.
You know, it's in the briefcase?
I'm not going to tell you it's in the briefcase.
Yeah.
And my new movie, it's all feet.
It's called Engrorious Feet.
And there's all feet, feet, feet.
Anyway, okay, so there's that.
Yeah, yeah.
Quick email from a listener here at the top of the show.
This is from Zach in what he refers to as way too snowy for April, Alberta, Canada.
I feel you do.
Although yesterday we had like 73 degree weather, it was beautiful, sat in the sun for a bunch.
It was nice.
And now today it's going to be cold again.
So, F that.
Anyway, he says, hey, scrizzle and brizzy.
Okay, I don't know what brizzy means, but Brian, you're going to have to live with it.
Yeah, I'm brizzy.
You know, like, it's just what you do.
Yeah, brizzy.
In the hizzy.
Okay, you're brizzy and the hizzy says.
He just takes the first, uh, the first consonant.
adds izzie or isl or whatever after it that's all he's doing so he still do that i wonder like
it's kind of an early aughts thing and i wonder if you kept that going yeah you think for shizzle
he's still no i bet he doesn't i bet because i i don't you never hear anybody do it anymore so
yeah i feel like he maybe ran ran that chorus but right around the time the snoop lion thing
ended he stopped doing that yeah yeah anyway hey scrisal and brizzy i have an idea regarding
will wheaton not reprising his wesley role for the show picard like we talked about the other
He says, I think he is better known as a Star Trek fan slash famous geek than he is a Star Trek character.
He is kind of a meme these days, and I think it'd be even more difficult to take him seriously now than it was back in the TNG days.
Possible.
Yeah.
I still think it would be a fun moment of just, okay, there's some, you know, we can put some Wesley lore to bed.
Or at the very least, maybe in this new Picard episode, they can all be sitting around talking,
or this new season
and talking about the old days
and then one of them will say
oh remember that time Wesley
broke that thing
and almost got put to death
and then they all get somber
and go
oh yeah Wesley
he had
oh yes rest in peace Wesley
yeah that horrible accident
they could even just like have him
almost get beamed onto
into the
into the teleportation day
right like you can say hey
Yeah, just a chunk of him.
Hey, it's good to see you, mom.
Anyway.
Exactly, yeah.
He also says, by the way, I just got back to this show after three years.
So stoked, it's just as awesome as I remember.
I'm glad to be back.
Love the show, though, Zach from Alberta.
Well, where'd you go, Zach?
We were here the whole time.
Where'd you go, buddy?
We were here the whole time.
We never left, but you did.
I'm sure, you know, people, that happens to people, right?
They, you know, they get distracted by something or they go and find
another show that's not as good and they give it a chance. They give it a chance for maybe three
years and they realize, wow, this is just not as good as TMS and then they come back. That's true.
And we've said since the beginning, like all terrestrial morning shows, the idea isn't that you
catch every freaking second, although I know there's some of you out there. I can't get it and it's
fine. You can do whatever you want. But the idea isn't that you make sure you're there for every
single second. The thing is that it's like exists and it's there for you and you have it when you
have it and if there's a time where you don't it's okay because come let's not give them an
out don't don't give them an out scott all right no outs that's it no stay here you can never leave
yeah yeah uh tally says wesley learning to become the traveler could be uh so is that how he's out
is that the is that lore is that like uh canon that he's a traveler i mean he's in that episode
and the traveler takes him out of there but then i don't know if we ever get any kind of
resolution and he was at the wedding
uh for uh wart not worth uh riker and and and uh zippy
Troy Troy that's so that happened for a brief second so if he's the traveler he came
out of travel mode for a hot second for a wedding and then he got back into it so I don't know
I don't remember that would be a great way to you know to continue his story on as
having being a traveler or even a you know remember the Q continuum Wesley the Q
Oh, Q Wesley, would be stupid.
Quesley.
Quesley.
Nobody wants Cuesley.
Oh, Quesley is a terrible idea.
Don't do it.
Don't do it, Rick Berman or whoever's in charge now.
Forget the new guy's name.
Anyway, hey, Brian, what's Shrillic?
Schreelich.
Schreelich.
Schlerick.
What is that?
Schlerick.
I don't know what that is.
So a couple of weeks ago, we were talking about Wirtle and Cordle and Actorley and
hear or hurdle depending on how you pronounce it and i said you know the one i'd love to make is one where
you get a song lyric and you keep getting additional song lyrics until and you keep guessing until
you get it or until you you know you make six guesses and and uh and get out yeah and jack fox
in our uh uh incredible tms tadpool uh community said hey i'm a programmer i can help i can help make that
And for the last two weeks, Jack Fox and I have been working on shlyric, shleric.com.
It's spelled just like it sounds, S-H-L-Y-R-I-C, sh-l-l-R-C-L-R-C-L-R-C, as in, there's no sound, lyric.
Yeah.
And don't be like me.
Only because lyrical was unavailable.
Lyrical would have been perfect, but lyrical was not available.
And don't put an S on it.
It's a bunch of Indian music or something.
Indian stuff. Yeah, I know.
And I wish I would have seen that.
But anyway.
uh so uh this one you go to uh you go to the the thing it tells you it gives you a hint now it didn't before and we're like oh this is this is almost too hard but it gives you the year and then it gives you um six lyrics and after each one you can guess and if you uh if you want you can share your results and um it's i will say even knowing lyrics as much as i do it's a it's a difficult one we went and picked only the top hundred billboard songs from every year.
year from 1965. We said, all right, let's start in, you know, well into Beatles time,
1965 to 2015 and said, all right, the top hundred billboard songs for each of those years
and plopped them in there. So it's kind of like the framed one. They can't do anything too
indie or no one's going to know it. Right. I mean, yeah, exactly. Who knows the lyrics to, you know,
can't come up with a really obscure song because everything I'm thinking of is a very famous song.
Yeah. I mean, just take some random dude on, you know, SoundCloud. You're not going to include his music because nobody's heard it yet. Exactly.
So we had to figure out some, we had to figure out some way to kind of isolate it.
Heart of Glass by Blondie was a couple days ago. Bad Day by Daniel Powder. You had a bad day.
Okay, so let me ask you this. So I've done three, two, two, two, three guesses so far and I'm nowhere near getting it.
Yeah. This is a tough one today. Yeah. The year is 1994.
for, and now a question about the rules.
So the lyrics.
And it'll auto fill your, it'll auto fill with only available songs, right?
So if you start typing, it'll only say, it'll only pull from this list of whatever.
Right.
That's like framed, the way frame does it, yeah.
Yes, exactly.
So the lyrics that it's giving me, they don't run together necessarily.
They could be pulled from anywhere in the song.
Nope.
They're absolutely consecutive lyrics.
So it's, you know, last night I, I saw you.
you stand in i started started pretending if i don't know how the song goes master baiting let's see
started pretending i knew you i still don't know this yeah uh you knew me too i have no idea
i can't so i'm not gonna i'm not gonna spoil it even if i did but um i'm gonna go ahead and
just admit that i don't know it oh yeah and then you'll say oh okay i've heard of that but
that that's a song i didn't recognize or i don't
know. So it's, you know, it's like, it's like herdle or hurdle. Sure. We should, we should all
agree on how to pronounce that, by the way. H-E-A-R-D-L-E. Do you pronounce it hurdle like
wordal? The problem with that is that somebody hearing that says, oh, h-U-R-D-L-E-L-com, that's not
something. Yeah, yeah. But if you say Heardle, people like, oh, H-E-A-R, but then it doesn't
rhyme with wordle. So let's all agree on how we pronounce H-E-R, H-E-A-R-D-L-L-L.
as a people can we come together on one thing and spell hurdle correctly right exactly anyway i don't know
why they all feel like they have to like i kind of i like yours because it's not doing this but how
everything needs to rhyme with wordle it's like come on guys you don't have to do that like that's why
framed framed it's just freaking framed framed framed is great what a great name and i and i try to come
up with something you know that would work lyric wise right that wasn't already taken and it was
really tough and i said you know i want something short like schlerick yeah schlerick like stephen schlerick
Yeah, it comes on Monday.
Stephen H. Lyric.
There you go.
Fun, fun stuff.
Oh, you got, Captain Kip, you got one guest today on frame?
Oh, I did not.
One guest.
It took me until, it took me to the third frame.
Yeah, I think it took me three.
I thought it was the pianist.
That was my second guess.
Second guess was pianist.
First guest was Amadeus.
Oh, got you.
Which didn't even come up as an auto-complete.
Oh, I'm sorry, people, if you haven't done.
Oh, it's fine.
We won't give you, we won't give them the answer.
But just so you know, those two are not correct.
It's not the pianist and it's not that other one.
Anyway, that's cool, very cool.
Check it out.
Shleric.com, everybody.
Shleric.com.
Get it before the New York Times buys it and we make a lot of money.
Yeah, yeah.
Absolutely, they're going to zero in on the one new one called Schlerick and avoid all these others.
That would be great.
That would be amazing if they did.
It'd be great.
You know, the one, I'd love it if songfacts.com or allmusic.com, one of those guys should buy it, right?
Because it would be, yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
Oh, yeah, somebody sent me, I don't know, who does.
There's one called Wordle Peaks.
It's not a very easy site to remember.
It's Vegita 897.gitub.gov.io.
So it doesn't just roll off the tongue.
But it's wordle, but instead of telling you, oh, you've got this letter right, but in the wrong
place. Each letter is treated differently and it does highs and lows. So here, I'll put a link to it
in the show notes here. All right. Or not the show notes in the, uh, oh, there we go. Yeah,
AV Tech John just posted it. That's because he's so damn fast. He's so damn fast. So the way it
works is you put your five letter word in and then it tells you, okay, this S is too low. Go higher than,
you know it's higher in the alphabet than or lower in the alphabet than an s right you have to
hit enter this i is correct and so it tells you a green one is correct oh i got that so i got an
s correct my first try okay oh this is cool yeah but it doesn't you know you're not it's not telling
you higher and lower yeah that's the weirdest part of this is it's higher and lower making my
brain fart it's more like it's like wordle with some direction you know
Yeah, literally, up or down.
That guy knew he was going to start such a weird trend, you know?
I know, right?
And how it became everything.
Like, this is, this is Flappy Bird business.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe even more than how one guy came up with Flappy Bird and then everything else,
Crossy Road, Zippy Monkey, whatever, right?
I want to play Zippy Monkey.
Is Zippy Monkey available?
Because I'm playing it right now.
I would come up with, is that the next thing?
Do we need to get Jack Fox on the phone and start working on Zippy Monkey?
Jack, let us know.
I would love to do, Jack, send me a message.
I have an idea, just a slight tweak on an idea that I, that frame does, but I have my own take on it.
Send me an email.
It's all porn.
Yeah.
Let's make Jack Fox.
It's all frames from pornos.
It's foreign, yeah, it's all, it's just a porn, you know, there probably exists.
You know this exists, right?
It's like find the porn.
No, definitely not.
That, I would say, very unlikely that,
that they would make a
version of Framed that uses porn films
because nobody's going to recognize those from
11 frames, let alone six.
I mean, if there's Loodle, somebody might, you know,
like, I don't know.
Let's see.
I mean, maybe if it only used
those triple X porn parodies,
like the Brady Bunch triple X porn parody
is like, oh, okay, yeah,
that's clearly supposed to be Jan and Marsha.
Yeah.
By the way, don't type framed for porn because it gives you a bunch of results that say framed for child porn.
Oh, right.
Yes.
Oh, good.
Now you're, you don't want that.
I'm on a list.
I'm on a list.
Oh, no.
All right.
So if, well, and the truth is if that exists out there, I'm sure Captain Kipper or somebody will find it.
Avitech John will have a little.
Yeah, AV Tech, you know, that's what he does.
Audiovisual tech.
All right.
Well, that's all she wrote for this morning.
Do bookmark that, though, everybody.
Shrillic.
Or, sorry, Shlirik.
Shlick.
I keep on to say Shrillick for some reason.
Yeah, don't do that.
Don't put the R after the H.
Nope.
Shliric.
You'll just find a guy with greasy black hair ready to drop the beat and make the bass.
And, you know, even if you suck at it, do it and then share it on Twitter so that the world discovers it and says, God, this game is too effing hard.
I'm never going to play it again.
You guys suck.
Yeah.
That's what people get.
Or they'll say, boy, this is great.
The New York Post should get in some of this business.
Oh, the post.
Yes.
The post in there so they can compete with their big mother paper out there in the East Coast.
All right.
Let's get to today's fantastic and earth-shattering news stories.
And a delay of my time there for a second.
It's time for the news, and it is brought to you by.
Brought to you by America's Next Top Podcaster.
This morning, we posted the three contestant submissions for,
week, too. The challenge was to create a scripted, nonfiction history podcast, and our three
teams did. We learned about brewing. We learned about 10-cent beer night at baseball, or I guess
it wasn't, yeah, it was 10-cent beer night and baseball. And then we learned about animals on
trial. And three incredible shows, who is going to take the prize this week? Find out by

Dot C-O-M.
All right.
Check this out.
This story here.
Taco Bell, something we've been talking about all the time.
Not just Taco Bell, but always our desire for old food items that they took off
their menu and don't do anymore.
They are officially...
Oh, hail the Doja Cat.
They are officially bringing back the Mexican pizza.
And we all have up and coming, well,
She's sort of already here, star, mega star, pop star, doja cat for making a big deal about this.
Because it worked, I guess.
Anyway, those who...
Yeah, I don't know how was she involved.
I know that she got to reveal the news at a concert a couple nights ago.
But I really, I have no idea, even in reading articles, how she can hold the claim that it's because of her that we, that makes confutes us back.
Well, it says here, the Kiss No More rapper became a mouthpiece for the Blubes.
love menu item in 2021.
She implored Taco Bell multiple times to put Mexican pizza back on the menu,
charmingly pulled rank in an attempt to encourage them to do so.
She worked alongside the chain to create its tunes for its commercials and promotions
in the past, so she's already kind of been working with them.
So her TikTok account, which I see occasionally on my for you page,
has been full of her saying bring back the damn thing.
Gotcha.
Okay.
Now, at what point was she actually working with them on that?
And who knows?
Yeah.
All right, doja cat.
Why didn't you just say so?
Yeah. She probably went,
Bring it back a pizza for the pizza, pizza, pizza.
That's how she sings. That's her whole thing.
Now, who do we get to champion the Enchorito?
Who is our, who is our megastar that we enlist?
Does it have to be another rapper?
When we do something else?
It doesn't have to be another rapper.
I'm thinking, uh, I'm thinking we, we get, uh, Rick Astley and we play off the
never going to give you up thing for the incherito and say, uh, yeah, let's do that.
Let's do that. Let's get the, I'm sure he's got nothing else going on.
get it on there get it going exactly
we'll talk about
we get camilla cabello
I don't know who that is
and she sings it
Enturito to the tune of Despacito
oh that's who that is
I think so
I like it when you call me
Luis Fonzi was Despacito
You call me Desperito
and I got do do de dido
Is that the song I'm thinking of
Yeah that's it
I like it when you call me
Signorita is that the one no
Right no Havana was Camia Cabello
That doesn't rhyme with, uh, that doesn't rhyme with, uh, enchirito.
So it's got to be despicito.
Ancherito.
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da di, da, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, de de di, de de de de de de de deito.
Yep.
Yep, that's a terrible song.
I hate it.
Yes, it is.
Uh, uh, I really don't like that song very much.
Um, or we get the eagles.
Could be the eagles.
Encherito.
I like it.
Why don't you bring it.
Back to us.
Three olives on the top.
Yeah.
Smothered in sauce.
Was that a rule?
Was that a rule about the olives?
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
Three olives on top.
Why is that?
Why just the three?
What's their deal?
It's just like, you know, how, why is there a second stupid piece of bread in the
middle of a Big Mac?
Like, you don't, it's not like it does anything.
That's a really good point.
Just adds another 150 calories.
or whatever. It just adds another, you know, you could make the top and bottom
bun a little bit thicker and get rid of the middle piece of bread. Yeah, cut out the middleman,
I always say. It's just like a little visual trademark of the entreato. When they brought it
back, they only put one olive on it, and that's kind of why it failed. Oh, dumbasses? You think
they'd know, yeah. Well, they did an official press release, and they removed the menu item in
2020, which I thought it was out of the menu for a decade or more. So,
that surprised me. I didn't know that. I didn't know in 2020 I could get a pizza at freaking
Taco Bell. No, I do remember this. And I remember the last week or so of the
availability for the Mexican pizza. And I think I went during the last week as available and got
one. Well, I kind of want. You know what? I don't know that I've ever had one. We talk about it
all the time, but I don't think I've ever done it. Yeah. So now I will. 100% well now.
I don't know what makes it so dang good.
There's a sauce that they put on it.
I don't think it's their typical red bean cereal sauce.
It's not their little packets it, is it?
They just squeeze on it on those.
It's something slightly different, and I don't know, yeah,
I don't know what it is about the Mexican pizza that makes it so good.
Well, they are not doing it until 519, which is a bummer,
because I have that amazing Taco Bell between me and St. George,
and I would love to get it on my way.
Oh, that would have been a great way to pick it up, yeah.
It's not going to happen.
She wrote on her two platforms of note, TikTok, and Twitter on Monday with a video of her announcing the news to her Coachella audience, quote, I brought back the Mexican pizza, by the way.
Which out of context is a really funny thing to say in concert.
But they all cheered like mad.
They were like stoked.
Like, I mean, they're all on, you know, how many edibles by then.
Who knows what they're doing?
Will this, will this be like the, the Seshwan sauce?
Remember how McDonald's had their Setshwan sauce for, for limited time for their nuggets or something?
And then disappeared.
And then there was all the hubbub when Rick and Morty had a whole episode about that.
And then they brought it back and was like, eh, this is all right.
Yeah, it's not, it's not as good as we all think it is.
90s kids were wrong.
Yeah, the Setschwan sauce came about because if I remember correctly, it was a co-promotion
thing with uh moulon back in the 90s the moulon animated movie that's right that's what yeah that's
what uh initially yeah come back yeah let's get down to business all right uh anyway so
there's that looking forward to it 519 check it out 19 so may already shaping up with dr strange
mexican pizza yeah wow all right bring it on may i was trying to find the i thought i had
ingredients by c ab tech john's done it two crisp corn tortilla shells filled with season ground
beef, hearty beans, and then topped
with pizza sauce, a blend of three real cheeses.
Oh, thank goodness, it's real cheeses.
Cheddar, pepperjack, and mozzarella.
Melted to perfection.
Yeah, my perfection.
I could have sworn that they were
flower tortillas.
Says corn. I know.
Yeah, I'm looking at that too. I could, like I said,
I could have sworn it was
I wonder if they changed that because
when I was working Taco Bell, we were
using flour. I had to do all
the flour tortillas. I was the friar.
So, like, I had to fry the flour tortilla is flat like that.
I don't remember, I don't remember ever seeing a corn tortilla that large.
Oh, really?
No, it's like, it's basically toast status-sized.
I mean, the whole thing is really like, it's like that big.
Yeah, it's tiny.
It's not like a, I was thinking it would be bigger, like a 10-inch thing or something.
Yeah, but I guess maybe not.
Like a big flour tortilla, but.
Oh, here we go.
Yeah, according to an affair from the heart,
Mexican pizza from Taco Bell takes a couple of flour tortillas to accidentally.
the act as the crust.
So I wonder if they change it, because that looks like
if you take John, you copy and paste it from somewhere else, right?
Yeah, I must have, I assume.
Unless you found it on Twitch.
I would assume so.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
Oh, it's from the Taco Bell Wiki.
Yeah, so that's what I'm saying it.
Taco Bell Wiki.
I mean, that's, of course there is, but I'm always surprised
when I find out certain things have wikis, you know, some fan base.
It was definitely, it was definitely flour tortillas back to
the day and I could have sworn even when I had it in 2020 it was uh um it was still flour
tortillas so maybe I don't know no sale then don't care if it's no I don't like you some corn
I like corn I prefer I prefer flour tortillas but I like corn I mean I'll eat whatever they hand me
you know and if there are five of them I'll eat them in a parking lot it's fine um
let's see here uh here's a story this is interesting Quebec or Quebec as they say
the Frenchies up there in the Great White North, you know, the ones.
The Quebec Ministry of Health has apologized for tweeting a link to a porn video instead of a COVID page.
Oops.
Yeah.
Oops.
Is Ted Cruz running your social media up there?
What's gone?
Quebec's Ministry of Health and Social Services apologize after I accidentally tweeted out a link to porn hub and a video there instead of a government site with brand new COVID-19 data.
the Canadian agency, which has more than 100 to 3,000 Twitter followers.
I would have thought it would be more than that for some reason.
Yeah, no kidding.
All the government ones are usually pretty big.
That one's not that big.
Yeah, exactly.
Just because people, like, they followed it once to get some update about something,
and then they forgot to unfollow it when they lost interest.
Yeah.
Well, speaking of feed earlier, the video they sent out is a foot fetish porn video,
to whatever extent that it means, yeah.
I was going to make the joke that, well, at least it was a stepmom,
explains COVID to
to horny stepson.
No.
Just some nasty dude telling it to his feet.
That's it.
It's all you get.
It was more than a half an hour
passed before the officials corrected the error.
So it took him a minute.
The error, really?
Like, you can't just say it's an error.
Well, it's an error.
I mean...
I mean, it is, but somebody copied a link to a porn foot video
and then pasted it.
That's more than an error.
That's somebody copy and pasting porn.
at work is what that is. Even if you
in air put it in the
tweet thing you weren't supposed to,
I don't know.
Or somebody's playing a big fat joke.
Could be that.
It could be. It could be, yeah, just was, I mean,
the way these things happen, right? He's like, oh, I got to
copy this video to watch later. And then
it's like, oh, I got to make a new Twitter post
about COVID update. Okay. And he
forgets to hit the copy button on the
press release and paste it into the
Twitter post.
I think he gets fired for this, probably.
I think so, yeah, for sure.
Yeah, that might be happening.
Didn't happen to Ted Cruz.
Or move to a different department than social media,
one that does not interact with the public.
Yeah, maybe don't put him in the mailroom or I don't know where he should go.
Right.
By the way, maybe Tech John found officially from Taco Bell,
their press release says flour shells.
Okay.
So it is flour.
This article's wrong.
Whoa.
I don't know why that had to be the Pac-Man.
theme, but it was. I don't either.
All right. Well, anyway, Quebec, good luck to you.
I hope you can recover after your problems.
Oh, I hate when they...
Oh, never mind. I'm not going to read that because then I'm doing it.
I'll say this. As a general rule, I hate when news articles use
random people's tweets as news information.
I don't like that. Stop doing that.
I mean, I've even been featured a couple of times and I still don't like it.
it's not news
It's not news
I ended up in like a Forbes article once
Where it says
Twitter person
Scott Johnson says
And I'm like
No don't put
Don't lump me in this
Twitter is this
Ephemeral
Just poop it out in the air
And let people eat it
It's not a thing
Where you have to put it in an article
Hate that
Anyway
Here's a story about a Florida man
Florida man
Where is he here
Here he is
He likes the Spiderman
A lot
Big fan of Spider-Man.
Sure.
He's seen Spider-Man no-way home 2-92 times.
In the theater, by the way.
Yeah.
Yes, this isn't like just watching it at home.
No.
He went to the theater this many times.
Yeah, he didn't get some hacked copy on someone's Plex server.
Back-to-back a lot of times, yeah.
Yeah, sets world record as a result.
He's even submitted it to the people over there at the Guinness deal.
Some Marvel Cinematic Universe fans take their movie viewing seriously,
but none as seriously is Florida man.
They say, man, he looks like he's 15.
He saw it in theaters a record breaking 2192 times.
Romero Alanis is his name.
Isn't that ironic?
Broke the Guinness World Record for most cinema productions attended of the same film,
which is the category, after seeing Spider-Man's for 720 hours,
30 days worth between the 16th of December and March 15th, 2022 last month.
In order to qualify for the record,
he had to watch the movie in theaters and independently of any other.
other activity.
So just movie in the theater.
This meant you could not check his phone, no sleeping,
a bathroom breaks, nothing.
Right, exactly.
Bathroom breaks between the film, you know, between showings.
But if he had to leave the theater to pee, that one did not count.
Do you think he had an inside?
They don't mention this at all, but do you have someone on the inside or did he pay the
$15 or whatever?
He paid $3,500 to, for this record.
Is that worth it?
No.
No. I mean, if you've got 35 grand or 3,500 bucks just laying around, sure, I guess.
I don't know. Yeah. I think this is insane. Also, I'd be terribly bored. And also, he's going to be like Eli,
Book of Eli. He's going to walk through the wilderness and then lay on a couch with a shaved head and repeat the movie, word for word.
Mary Jane says, no, let's get out of here. No, Spamian says,
Seriously, though, if you watch anything that much and that short amount of time, it's part of you now.
You'll never shake it.
And I like that movie.
I didn't like it that much, you know.
I don't like any movie that much.
I don't even like, you know what?
I couldn't do Fury Road that much in two months.
No.
No, I, yeah, there's no movie that I could think of that I would be fine watching 292 times.
Yeah.
I mean, like, that, and they, you know, equate that out to third.
30 days, like basically 30 days of nonstop viewing if he were to watch it.
There we go.
Although he didn't keep track of the exact amount he spent on movie tickets over the course of the attempt,
Ramiro estimates the total to be about 3,400.
Okay.
And he's in Florida.
So he's not paying like East Coast prices because that's closer to like 4,500 or almost 5K.
Yeah, I don't know.
I have no idea how much tickets are in Florida.
I mean, you couldn't do this on your thing, could you?
because you can only do three, or it has to be new movies?
I can do three a week.
Yeah, the maximum I could do is three a week,
so I'd only be able to see it at the most 12 times a month.
Yeah, well, for free.
You could always pay for the others, I guess.
I could, yeah, and for free.
Well, yeah.
Kind of like how Netflix has a movie on it,
and we call it free.
Sort of like that.
Exactly.
Oh, this is what's on free streaming.
Free if you pay for it.
Yeah, free if you pay for it.
That's a great distinction.
Free if you pay for it.
Free if you pay for it.
Anyway, maybe he was laundering some doge coins,
says pops and recline. Possible.
Oh, right.
So you only got those, the first, the first showing.
You only got Doge coins or whatever, crypto or no, it was an NFT that, you know.
Oh, that's right.
That was the Spider-Man NFT.
That was the Spider-Man thing, yeah.
And I don't think we even ever claimed Tina's NFT.
So there's an unclaimed NFT sitting out there floating around in space.
What's going to happen to that?
That's a UCNFT.
Oh, an unclaimed NFT.
Yeah, yeah.
well um that's a funny thing happened on twitter yesterday i'm speaking of nfts um sure there was a survey sent
out internal or externally by blizzard entertainment you may be familiar with the embattled studio
those guys yeah in five minutes they're gonna they're making their new announcement yeah they're
doing their thing here um they put out this survey asking people about a range of things including
nfts micro transactions just kind of generalized stuff which isn't that unusual but people flip
out. And so Ybarra, Mike Ybarra, the current head of Blizzard, got on Twitter and said,
nobody's doing NFTs. That was it. That was his whole tweet.
Nobody's doing him. He says. Excellent. I love it. Yeah. I hope they don't. They don't need
any more controversy right now anyway. Oh, God, no. No, definitely not. Yeah, you want to add to your,
add to your controversy. Oh, someone just snucking Carter, what's up? What is that?
Did you go to Taco Bell? Is that a pizza? Oh, no. It's not till
May. Oh, Kim got me a, um, what are you, what are these called? CrunchRap? Yeah. I can't eat this
till after the show, though. So it'll be nice and cold right here. Oh, I'll put on the heater.
Is it a breakfast crunch wrap? Because it's, it's only, it's not even 10 o'clock yet. I know. I don't even eat till 11, so I don't know what she's thinking. But I'll take it. Tell her, thank you for her offer of kindness.
All right. Damn it. Now I want Taco Ball for lunch.
Well, that'll happen when we talk about it and show it on the air. Yeah, it's exactly what happens.
every damn time.
Oh, let's do that thing where you reach through.
Let's see, are you, you're, no, you're this way, right?
Yeah, I'm this way.
Can I, can I reach through and grab that?
Go the other direction.
Do the other direction.
Oh, this way, sorry.
Yeah, so we go.
Well, wait, how is that possible?
Because I'm looking at you.
No, it's on, because my thing flips on, um, uh, Discord flips my video, so it's offset.
Yeah.
Chat room will probably capture it.
And now we'll have a new clip to play with.
There we go.
Um, let's see.
We got time for maybe this one.
Okay.
Oh, yeah, look at this.
Here's something you don't want your kid to do.
Kindergartener, Gardener, Gardner, Gardner, Kindergartener.
Kindergartener.
It doesn't sound right.
Kindergartener.
The more you say it, the more weirder sounds kindergarten.
Kindergartener.
Uh, brought a, brought tequila to school and shared it with classmates.
Uh, this is in Michigan.
Parents are pissed because they're kindergarten.
Attention.
Attention.
Uh-da-da-da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na.
They have detention at that age?
I don't know.
No, I don't know if they do.
I don't know if they do.
I don't think so.
I have no idea.
Anyway, for snack time, this kid brought a bottle of tequila from home.
From this kid in Livvione.
Livyne.
How do you say that?
Livonia.
Livonia.
Livoni.
Livioni.
Michigan.
From Iran.
I'm Sylvioni.
Vigioni.
Michigan.
a bottle of Jose Cuervo
mix with 10% alcohol content
to her classmates before the teacher stopped
it. Oh, so it's like
one of those margarita, I mean, still,
it's got tequila in it, but it's one of those
margarita mixed bottles as opposed to like
taking a bottle of Patron.
So it was a pre-mic, yeah, you're right,
it's a pre-mixed bottle, they say.
Four classmates had some, including the
daughter. I asked
her like, is my daughter okay? And she said,
she's right here and she looks okay. And then I said,
okay, well, how much did she drink?
uh school would not give her a definite answer because they didn't know daughter takes medicine
and first up no kid should be drinking and just the shot itself at burns she said this mom's a little
weird no kidding uh the way she talks there's a lot of likes and ums and stuff they include in the quotes weird
yeah smith picked up her daughter from school uh early that day principals sent out a letter addressing
the issue said disciplinary disciplinary measures will be taken in accordance with the student's code of
conduct uh kids will be back on or the kid will be back on monday
Smith, the mother says, it's so heartbreaking.
I feel like her first year of kindergarten was already cut short because of COVID,
and situations like this are making it worse.
Well, then lock up your booze.
Lock up your booze.
Yeah.
Oh, what a sad thing that has happened to us.
Yeah, happened to us with no effort of our own.
Exactly, yes.
Lame.
Cheezley.
All right, we're going to take a break when we return.
some time with Bill, I think. I haven't heard from him, but I think he's back.
Okay. Oh, I forget to bring down my, uh, my super soldier's serum. Dernet. Uh, Dernet. There's the
Dernet. Um, who else? Oh, Bobby after that. So watch for that. Uh, but before that music, though,
we got to do music. So do you have music? Yeah. How about a band called Colatura, C-O-L-A-T-U-R-A.
They have a brand new, uh, debut album coming out this Friday called, uh, and then I'll be happy.
That's the title of their album. Great.
great title.
Love it.
This is a New York trio
and from Brooklyn.
This song is great
because the chorus asks,
are you content or are you content?
Oh.
Wow.
How thoughtful and metaphysical and philosophical.
Here is the band Colitura
from their brand new album.
Here it is.
Are you content?
Run away
Come inside
The ship is filled
stranger
And barely alive
Oh, you were
Sturray
In the night
Packages brought for drugs
For transit
Stand on the inside
Are you
Cutter
Or are you just content
There's no way of knowing
What are we doing?
You know
Never turned
And I'm
Maybe
I'm out of
It's turn to sit to stand in a line
Everyone's known for a story
Miss the market friend
Why are you coated?
Or are you discarded?
There's no way we're doing it.
What are you doing?
Are you content?
Or are you content?
There's nowhere to know it.
What I'm doing?
You know,
I'm going to be able to be.
I'm single and I'm going to take myself to subway.
That's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to take myself to subway because I'm single.
How many genders are there?
I don't know. I just got here.
The morning stream, I'm the captain now.
All right, we're back, everybody.
That guy's awesome.
I just like the answer.
I don't know.
I just got it.
To the answer to any question somebody asks you.
He's at some, it was like some kind of,
there's a video saw where they were at like some kind of event.
A bunch of people are around.
it was some kind of rally or something.
Yeah.
And then the guy has how many genders, and this dude looks unplus, he just goes, I don't know, I just got here.
As if he's going to have the answer to it in a while now that he's there.
Let me get settled in and then I'll be able to answer.
They'll, you know.
Oh, that's so stupid.
I love it, though.
All right.
Hats off to that, dude.
Hey, Brian, tell me again who that song was.
Yeah, that song was the band Colitura with their brand new song, Are You Content?
from their upcoming album, and then I'll be happy, which comes out Friday.
We're all, uh, both content, we're both content, content and content at the same time.
That's true. Yes. You and I are both content and content. Yeah. I'm often content. I don't say
I'm always contentious. Yeah. Contentious. Contentious. That's not a word.
Hey. It should be. Hey, everybody. I know what's next. Your bat caves open there, Bill.
Perfectly rested underwear full of sand.
Bill Durand joins us from Punished Props.
He's been in Hawaii for a long time
and really had a good time from all the pictures I saw.
Bill, welcome back to the show.
How are you?
Good. I have one more pun to add to the pile.
Oh, please do.
I couldn't get a room at DragonCon.
So I put up a tent in the middle of the show floor.
I call it my content.
Content.
That's really good.
That's really good.
I'm embarrassed.
We didn't think of it.
But that's why you're here, damn it, to finish things off, to give us closure.
I appreciate it.
How was your trip?
It seemed like you had a ball.
It was amazing.
I'm going to talk about it for the next 10 minutes.
Totally fine.
This is our segment today.
Getting rest so that your creative mind can be freed and come home and do new work.
Yeah.
But also, I brought all my camera gear, and I took a lot of photos of wild animals.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
If you're going to take photos of wild animals, of why, it's a pretty great place for it.
so we spent a week there on the big island of Hawaii and actually I started my digital photography journey in Hawaii back in 2008 I went there for a trip and I was into film photography but I had my camera had been stolen my camera and my lenses for film were all gone and I wasn't in photography for a couple of years until I went to Hawaii and then I was like I need a camera so I bought my first DSL
are while I was on the trip and I've taken like hundreds of thousands of photos since then
nice nice wait so you got the camera there you didn't take one with you you bought it and
I bought what well in 2008 oh oh bought it back then I'm in my head I'm like wait he bought this now
holy no no no okay all right so that's it's just Hawaii is a special place because that's where
I kind of started my photography journey yeah well I went back with all my newer camera gear
with the goal of shooting photos of animals
is mostly what I wanted
I got some other stuff but mostly I wanted to
shoot photos of animals
I bought a GoPro for this trip
mostly because they're waterproof
and I wanted to get video while I was snorkeling
but I also brought my big camera
I have a Sony A7R3
I have a macro lens I like for shooting small animals up close
and then I have a telephoto lens
for shooting animals that are far away
I have a 200 to 600
If you're going to try and shoot wildlife animals that aren't at a zoo and forced to be near you,
you do need a pretty long lens.
200 would probably be the minimum, but having a 600 millimeter lens is really good, really cool.
Do you end up with a lot of, because I think you've talked about birding before and stuff,
are there a lot of birds, do you can see?
There were so many birds in Hawaii, yeah.
So the cool thing about birds is they're everywhere.
So I took a lot of photos of birds from the house we rented
In the morning I would go out
There was a park kind of across the street where they would all hang out
And I would just wander over there
Take a few photos of whatever birds happen to be around
And then that was it
It was really easy
But if you have a specific bird you want to get
That's when you have to be a little more
A little more on the ball, a little more patient
But fortunately
Sorry, I was going to say, if you were in Europe
And you said I'm taking photos
of birds today?
Mm-hmm.
They'd think you were a pervert and tell you to stop.
Probably, yeah.
Because that's a lady over there.
Yes.
Anyway.
Until I got more specific, it said, no, no, no.
It's focused on the cattle eagret.
Oh, I see.
Yeah, then you'd be fine.
They would take you out of Europe jail and you'd be fine.
There we go.
Nice.
So you see anything that was like super rare?
Like, oh, man, I can't believe I just saw the flying gorilla with two heads or whatever.
No.
And I bet, you know what?
I bet there are.
a few things like that.
I really just went, we were
traveling with friends, so I didn't want to be
too much of a pain of the butt. So I just
took photos of whatever was around. I didn't
go specifically seeking things, except
for sea turtles.
I'll get to that in a minute.
The birds were awesome. There were tons of
different kinds of doves, several different kinds of
cardinals. There was that cattle eagrant
I told you about.
And there were plentiful. It was really
fun to just
shoot photos of lots and lots of birds.
There were also a lot of mongooses.
Mongeese?
Mongeese.
Mongeese's.
There are lots of them.
I didn't realize that.
They were brought to take care of a rat problem.
They did not solve the rat problem, and now there's a mongoose problem.
So there are tons of mongoose.
They're really cute.
They're really adorable.
I got a few shots of them.
In fact, I just posted a bunch of my photos over on
Twitter if you wanted to take a peek.
I am going to take a peek. This sounds
exciting. Chinbeard on Twitter,
by the way, if you're listening at home.
That's right. And then one of my
very favorite things were
the sea turtles. I knew
going into Hawaii that I wanted to find
sea turtles. I wanted to take photos of them.
And I researched a
couple of bays that
are famous for having sea turtles hanging out.
And we ended up at a place called
Kejolo Bay.
And you had to park and then like
walk a mile and a half to get to the bay, but it was a really lovely walk.
When we got there, there were like a dozen of these sea turtles hanging out, eating, just
eating algae and stuff, and they were super chill, and you could get pretty close to them
and take all sorts of photos, and it was really, really cool.
The sea turtles were probably my favorite animals to take photos.
Does it weird you out?
I don't know why this has always weirded me out, but it always weirds me out that these
animals, in most cases, not all cases, sometimes you'll see a baby or something, but
they've been on this planet
longer than you in a lot of cases.
Yeah, the sea turtles get pretty old.
Crazy me.
Just always trips me out to think of it that way.
Meanwhile, the sea turtles like, is that an A7R3?
I remember when photography was new.
When they watch old turtle movies, though,
they say, you know, everybody in this movie
is probably still alive.
Complain about the ninja turtles and say things like,
I don't.
We wouldn't listen to her.
Totally miss my joke.
No, I liked it.
It was a good joke.
I heard it
I was just moving on to the next one you know
Joke to joke yeah yeah it's a
radio show
Because it's something you always say
All the people in this movie are dead
No I got it it's good
All right move on
I got it I got it
So hey Bill
You don't get to keep any of these though
Right use pictures and go home
Yeah
The GoPro now
If you're on my Twitter there I saw
There are a couple of videos I posted
One of them was
we were swimming
at a snorkeling in a place called
Two Step and a bunch of dolphins showed up
and I had my GoPro so I got footage of dolphins
swimming around us which was super magical
but the most amazing part of the whole trip
was
Manta Rays. We got to go see
Manta Rays. We went snorkeling with them
at night and it was
extraordinary. Oh wow. And I did
post a video up on
Twitter of that.
Basically, you go out in a boat.
It's like a five-minute trip from the shore,
out to this area where the mantarais eat at night.
And you get out of the boat,
and they have these rafts that everyone clings to.
It's a floating raft with lights on it,
the lights point down.
And you just float there with your snorkel,
holding onto the raft, looking down,
and mantarays show up.
And they just do backflips,
and they eat plankton,
and they're amazing and enormous.
You can see right into their giant mouths.
Oh, wow.
It was absolutely bananas.
And again, I had my GoPro there because it's waterproof to film the whole thing.
And I was pretty impressed with the way it pulled off filming at night underwater.
Yeah, I guess that blue light is, I assume, artificial.
Yeah, the light on the raft was blue.
I'm not sure why it was blue, but that's what they used.
And the Manta rays seem to like it.
Those things are freaky looking in the face and the front.
They scare me a little bit.
They came inches from my face.
Like, I was, one of their giant eyeballs was like five inches from my face.
It was wild.
That's crazy.
It looks like a blast.
It looks like you guys had the time of your lives there.
Yeah, it was so, so cool.
And then finally, I did lots of animal photography.
I love my animal photography.
But natural phenomena is way up there, and Hawaii has lava.
So we hiked through the Volcano National Park to the Hala Mau Mau Crater, right next to Kilauea.
It is an active crater with lava spewing out of it right now, and we were able to go check that out.
We hiked there at dusk, which is good.
You want it to be a little darker, so you see the glow.
And you want to bring a flashlight so you can get back, went in the dark.
And if you're going to shoot photos, bring a tripod.
I did not.
I would recommend bringing a tripod.
So did you do any lava video?
I can't find it.
I did.
I may have not posted that yet.
Oh, you should put some live.
Dude, you got lava video.
I got to put that on the internet.
Yeah, I will.
Still going through it all.
But yeah, it was bananas.
You could hear the lava.
It made the entire night sky glow.
Nice.
It's just so amazing.
That's cool, man.
Very cool.
well I'm jealous
this looks like a blast
yeah I'm sure the weather
was perfect like every minute
it was really good yeah
the weather was really amazing
I recommend it
if it wants a fun place to go
for a week and especially if you want to
even just see you have to take photos
just go see all these animals
those turtles were just chilling there
they were so chill it was amazing
I would like to be one of those turtles
if I was in nature
turtles would be great because they mostly
get to just chill they don't have a ton of
predators in certain areas and they lived for like 200 years yeah they and they were uh really just
gnaw it on rocks that had algae on them like that was their whole day and they seemed pretty into
it also when they have sex it's weird have you seen them ever mate you ever seen a turtle
i've heard that video that yeah that weird thing is is one of the strangest things in nature so
um yeah i'm pro turtle turtles turtles turtles well bill with shredder yeah
always. Even though
this is mostly today's
fun travelogue, you probably still have a little bonus link
for us. Do you have a little something? Yeah.
Another restoration video, this is my
mechanics. He
restored a electric doorbell
from the early 1900s.
I want to say early
1900s because now people are
starting to refer to the time I was born
as the 1900s,
and that doesn't make me feel good at all.
Oh, no, I don't like it at all.
Oh, look at this thing. This is old.
Jeez.
That's old.
Not me.
Yeah.
Even though it was an actual bell.
So this is electric.
They, oh, what?
Mm-hmm.
Basically an electromagnet that would make the ringer oscillate and ring the bell.
That's cool.
Wow.
Really cool.
Oh, look at that.
And it would just go ding-bing-b-b-d-mm.
Okay.
This is rad.
I'll have to watch this whole thing.
So I assume he's cleaning this out.
It's funny because I played a whole bunch of this power wash simulator game.
oh yeah over the last few days and everything in that game reminds me of stuff like this
just dirty grimy you know whatever i had to i had to clean a big uh cottage that was basically
the shape of a shoe out in the forest and uh hadn't been hadn't been cleaned in like what felt
like 50 years and taking a power washer to that stuff is so satisfying i probably would like
stuff like this take something old make it new again you know yeah when's someone going to make
a restoration simulator right oh well they have one actually um
It's it called toy?
I think it might be called toy restoration simulator.
So they focus on old toys, but it's like, here's an old train set from 60 years ago.
Yeah.
I have that game.
It's great.
You'd like it because it's basically this.
It's just this gamified where you take the little parts apart and unscrew it and clean a little bit.
Toy tinker simulator.
That's it.
That's it.
Recent reviews, mostly negative.
Oh, shit.
Oh, no.
I actually liked it.
I don't know. People are weird.
I think that game's okay.
Yeah, they got a little screwdriver.
He's taking it of rusty parts apart.
Look at that.
Yeah.
I mean, some fine chore core games a little tedious,
but I think they're fascinating.
And, yeah, why not?
Why the hell not?
Awesome.
Go check that out.
That's my mechanics on YouTube is where you'll find that video of folks at home.
Thank you, chat, for putting, or for, no, I guess you put it in there.
Bill, thanks for giving us that link is what I'm trying to say.
You got it.
Have a great week, and may all your turtles be.
old.
All right.
Bye.
Bye.
Hold on.
There he goes.
Well, that's cool.
I want this bell, but it's done.
I don't want it all dirty, though.
I want it finished.
I know.
Yeah, exactly.
I think it looks,
it's cooler looking dirty,
but it's cool that he does
this restoring thing with it as well.
Oh, he doesn't,
it actually didn't work.
He had to fix it.
Oh, I thought it was.
Well, it was at first,
but his reassembled didn't work.
First, oh, I see,
once he reassembled it.
Yeah.
Because at the beginning,
he hooks up a little thing to it.
And it's like he pushes the button and that thing totally rings.
He's basically me.
This is what would happen to me.
I would get done.
It would be beautiful and perfect.
And then I would realize, oh, I've screwed up somewhere.
I've got to take it apart and find where I screwed up.
Yeah, that's exactly what happened.
I did that this weekend with, so I put in a new wall junction box.
Because we had taken a mirror down and this junction box had all the wires.
And it was just floating around because when it was behind the mirror, it didn't really matter.
The cables came through.
where the plugs came through.
We took the mirror down.
We redid the bathroom and we still had this floating junction box.
So I had to cut a bigger opening to pull this thing out, take all the wires out,
reconnect everything, put it back in.
But all along the way, it's like, okay, those are the, all the wires are connected.
Nothing's touching, but turn that thing back on to make sure I didn't make a mistake
and have a light in there.
Okay, light works.
Turn it back off.
This is the breaker.
And then now push everything back in.
Now let's make sure it works.
No, that's the right way.
You did that the exact right way.
It's the right way to do it, sadly, is just keep trying it every step of the way
so that you don't put everything back together and say, okay, not working.
Where did I make a mistake?
What you got to do is, how was I going to say that?
Oh, like in a PC build, same thing.
You pull out of your, you know, you got all your parts out, you're putting your motherboard in, all your stuff.
Don't seal it up before you test it.
Right, right.
Or else you're screwed.
That happened to me.
too many times.
Chatroom says the announcement was made.
Let's see.
It's all tortolan.
No, it can't be.
Yeah, I think that's the joke.
Let's see.
Expansion Reveal.
Let's see.
New Class, the Evoker.
New Race, the
Drac Their, which I think is
Dragon, Man Dragon.
Let's see here.
Two specializations, Healer Range, DPS,
hero class, starts at 58 with new
starter zone where's mail
what's the name of the damn
thing
uh here let me see what's
see that one's oh
it's Ian what's her name and what's
his bucket oh it's a it's they're still in the
live thing I don't think they've given it a name yet
no there's
uh dragon flight
details leak ahead of reveal but
uh
huh
there we go dragon flight
is the that's the name
that's the name all right so those rumors were
The leaks were true.
It is Dragonfly.
All right.
Well, I have to compile questions to send a hoo-ha for my interview later.
I shouldn't call her hoo-ha.
She's a very nice lady named something else.
Not really, her name is not-haha.
Yeah, the name is not hoo-ha.
No, why would I do that to poor Mats her name whose name is not hoo-ha?
All right, let's get Bill in.
Bill's in.
He likes himself a little bit of the old, not Bill, Bobby, is what I meant to say.
Bobby, but what we need to do is you need to split it up.
so that we don't have two Bs on the same day.
Yeah, what were we thinking when we did that?
Oh, oh, look, look at this.
Science.
Hey, it's science time, you guys.
You know what that means?
Bobby Frankenberger, also back from a nice little trip away with the family.
A little Florida vacation.
Yeah.
Yeah, how to go.
A little vacay.
How was the vacation, sir?
It was great.
It was fun.
It was celebrating my younger daughter's,
a sixth birthday there.
Nice.
This was a Disney World that you went to.
Yes, Disney World.
The better Disney.
Yeah.
The better of the two Disney.
Anyway.
Yeah.
I guess they're so...
The more stuff, the more stuff, Disney.
What's the total?
We got Anaheim, you got Orlando, you got Tokyo, what else?
France.
France?
One in France.
You got Shanghai.
Oh, Shanghai.
I forgot about Shanghai.
Is that it?
Is that it?
You're a Disney, Shanghai, Disney.
I feel like there are two around the...
around China like is there one in Shanghai and then oh Hong Kong oh yeah Hong Kong has a small one
I think so Hong Kong and Shanghai Tokyo maybe tech John says Disney's ruining all the parks
what does that mean what are they doing yeah the the new Bob Chupac is just nickel and diming
everything what used to be you know like free fast pass no more now you've got genie plus
and all of these you know the genie plus thing we did
It worked really well.
We enjoyed it, but it is a nickel and diamond kind of thing, like you said.
You do have, like you pay for it per day.
And when you've got a big group of you, that's, you know, that's you, it's four of you, right?
So that's an extra 80 bucks a day or whatever.
Yeah, it was a lot of money to add it on to every day.
But it was incredibly useful.
Yes.
And, but the other thing, the other nickel and timing part is that not everything is included in the Genie Plus.
So the brand new ride where we were at Epcot was.
Was the Guardians of the Galaxy thing open yet?
No, we don't have that yet here.
So that's the main thing that we're missing, right?
But it was the Ratatoui ride, which was amazing,
but you couldn't use the Genie Plus thing to get your fast pass,
because I'm just going to call it fast pass because it was a better name.
Yeah, for sure.
But you couldn't get your fast pass.
You had to pay to get into that ride.
Just for that ride.
As a fast pass.
Yeah, like if you want to,
your fast pass for that you had to pay extra for that
and some of the rides are that way the really
popular rise of the resistance is that way
yeah it's exactly
used to be free used to be great
no bummer
I mean you still paid for the fast pass plus
before but it was it was way
easier to understand before well you had
but you had free fast fast
fast pass included with your ticket
at least in California
oh yeah yeah you're right if you were a
a Disney resort
guest even if you were
wanted a resort like fast pass um if i'm if i'm thinking the same thing i mean you could
well there's fast with your ticket so this has always been the problem right because there was
fast pass pass and then there was fast pass plus what was fast pass plus okay that was the extra one you
got that was that was commercial free would that let you have two all at once i don't remember who
knows you know i think so yeah that was commercial free and you got all of the golden girl seasons all
once if you got the plus that's how it was all confusing i don't know i was all confusing i
think that all of those Disney
those Walt Disney
parks like you know those
extra fan websites that do
all the like plan guides
and stuff like that I think those are in
those sites are in cahoots with
Disney and they're saying you got to
keep it complicated
so that people have a reason to come
to our website
oh and here we go so
FastPass Plus was only at Disney World
California still just had FastPass
regular well then
that's yeah so there you go they needed you guys to feel better for having the work
yeah well uh guys i wish i was closer to you know closer to california but yeah anyway so
do you guys drive or fly what'd you do we drove it's only like a seven hour drive okay that's not bad
the reason i ask is uh this is just sort of late breaking stuff here um yeah but in covid
science uh since we're about to do a science segment the uh it's not really of science reason
that this is happening, but a federal judge struck down the mask mandate for airlines, and so
airlines, I think they still choose to enforce it on their own, but they're basically saying,
okay, yeah, we're not going to do masks anymore.
So the one time for me to fly to Vegas.
The one, yeah, the one place where you've got 200 people crammed in a tight space where I would
think, despite, despite, you know, dips in numbers here in the States, although there's
problems in other places and ends some rising in the coast, but despite all of that, you'd
think the one place where you have the most transference of the virus, and a tiny little
tube, you might be, you might keep that going, you know? I'm a little surprised by it, to be
honest. It's, I think, who knows what the real reason is, but it's also, so airline travel has
very strangely, and not really strangely, I guess, if you understand what they're doing, but,
but seemingly contradictoryly or paradoxically, airlines travel has been the, in terms of COVID
transmission like super safe this whole time there has been there's studies have shown that
there's been very little transmission that's been linked to the act of everyone getting on a
plane together and that's but I think that's probably because of how strict they've been
including mask masking and for you'd think that they'd want to keep that so that you
could continue to have um safe travel
And people believing in the safety of airline travel because that's a really big part of it of these mandates, right, is making people feel comfortable.
Not necessarily like the truth and fact of transmission is important, sure, but almost more important for the economy is people believing that it's safe, right?
which is one of the big benefits of mask mandates in general in businesses and stuff like that.
You enact mask mandates for businesses because you want people to feel safe going to those places of business.
Right, right, right, right.
Well, I mean, so for whatever reason, despite the fact that there's some indicators that there are numbers on the rise, they're going to go ahead and do this.
I think it's kind of insane.
I mean, I suppose, I mean, some people are saying this is a huge victory.
they finally don't have to be inconvenienced anymore on an airplane.
Right.
But, um, whatever.
Fine, whatever.
But my, my, my practical take is, well, now you're just going to see numbers go up.
And then what are you going to do?
Like, don't we want them to stay down?
But, but, but you might see airline travel go down.
Yeah, maybe.
I just like to see it stay.
Like, if we're happy that it's less, we, how about a few measures just to keep it less?
You know, easy ones, too.
It's no big deal.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah, it's like saying, you know what, the fecal bacteria in our food at the restaurant is really low now.
You know what?
We're going to stop requiring our employees to wash their hands because we don't have the problem anymore.
Now, that is exactly the, that's a perfect comparison because it's exactly the same.
And people don't see it that way.
Instead, they've got all their politics wrapped up in it.
And it's stupid.
It's freaking stupid.
So whatever, man.
I still, you know, I hope a bunch of people still wear them.
If someone's a dick to you, you have my permission to kick them in the nuts so hard,
they go up their butthole, like whatever.
Oh, a dick to you because you're wearing, like, you know,
somebody gives me crap for wearing it on the planet still.
Yeah, like people who cough on other people, those people have a special place in all.
I haven't run into situations like that in a really, really long time.
There are plenty of people, so Disney didn't require anybody to wear masks.
I think unless, if you're not vaccinated, you had to wear them indoors.
But if you were vaccinated, you didn't have to.
But I didn't see, like, there was a mix of people wearing masks outdoors and indoors and not and all that kind of stuff.
And everybody seemed to not care either way.
You know, like everybody was just continuing on and being nice to each other.
As long as they're doing that, I'm, you know, I don't care what people do.
Just don't be dicks, you know.
Try not to be a dick if you can help it.
Exactly.
All right.
I'm going to read this email we got for you this week.
All right.
It actually came out.
It was last week, but you were gone.
so we've been holding it
and it's been aging
like a fine wine
so here it is.
Tofer D wrote in.
Tofer D.
It's a cool for D.
It says high space and balls
mathematician here
with some feedback
about your recent science
discussion in which you mentioned
that if space is infinite
then there must be blank
Earth's exactly like ours
except everyone's ween wean is gigantic
or whatever.
So that was the whole discussion.
He wrote that, not me.
Infinity does allow for a lot
but it does not necessitate
everything. Here's a simple example. Think of real numbers between zero and one. There's, let's say,
0.1, and there's 0.111 and 0.111 and maybe even 0.1111. He says literally, infinite,
infinitely is the word I was looking for, many more extensions of that pattern, each
adding one more digit. Also infinitely, many using twos instead of ones or three.
or start making more complex patterns.
And that doesn't give or that doesn't even touch the no pattern decimal numbers that you could
write or the no pattern never ending ones you could never finish writing.
Infinitely many of those two.
So clearly infinity means real number values between zero and one.
But this doesn't mean that because there's infinitely many that any number you can imagine is in there.
For example, two, two isn't between zero and one, nor is the number.
I can imagine called Squirville.
Squir-squarell.
Squir-W.
Squirrelve.
That's awesome.
Squarellve.
Like rhymes with 12.
Yeah, he made it up.
Moral of the story, there are infinite variations of what could exist in an infinite
universe, but just because you can imagine, it doesn't mean it must exist within an
infinite space.
Love the show, though, Tofer.
So, what do you think of that?
I think that is an incredibly good point.
And I'm surprised.
but but what but but but but but isn't like all right saying that there's not a number called squirrel
saying that is like well yeah okay that couldn't be that there's no way for that to exist
but having an infinite universe or you know another earth parallel earth where um where i don't
have a goatee but everything else is the same that that's a possibility that's a could exist
well i don't think this emailer is saying that it's not possible i think they're saying that it's
not, because what we were talking about, I remember the conversation, we said that if there
are, if there's, if the universe is infinite, then that must mean that there does, that
necessarily means that there has to be, that there has to be another world that is the same
as ours because it's infinite, right? And what this person is saying is that, that by
mathematical law, that is not necessarily true. And this person is true. And who am I to say that
they're not true because this is a mathematician.
I'm, I am, I'd merely play one on a podcast.
How is your math?
Are you a good mathematics?
I love math.
I have a degree in computer science, which is essentially a math degree.
Okay.
But I'm not a mathematician because we, we, we only touched on these, like, theoretical
math topics.
But I have talked about it, and that's why I was surprised I didn't think about this,
because the concept of infinity is really fascinating to me.
and I think this is an awesome excuse
to talk about what actually infinity is
what do you think infinity is
oh man to answer that question
I mean in my head it's like infinity has
you know has no end
I don't like when people represent infinity as a loop
because I don't think that's accurate
because a loop implies that you just kind of come back
to the same stuff all the time right exactly
cyclical yeah which I guess you could say
some things are cyclical or
infinite in their repetition but I'm not talking repetition in my mind infinite if you say hey Scott
there's an infinite universe I would say okay well that means it's got zero end to it and it's a
concept that we have a hard time as humans even grasping because everything we have has a start
and an end to it including our lives right so you know when I when I do finally eat this Taco Bell
item it's going to have a start and a finish yes and then another finish and it's cyclical
because it'll come out yeah there you go
there you go it loops back on itself but uh but yeah like i see when i hear when i think of
infinite in the larger sense i do think of like okay well if that's true then the possibility of an
earth just like ours existing is not only possible but probable because infinite means
every chance it would ever have ever to be just like ours would would happen somewhere plus
every possible variation which is in the the kinds of numbers humans can't really
comprehend so that's my my take it brian you have a you have an alternate
that's pretty much my take too
the problem is I paid for infinity plus
so I figure I should get more
you know
you laugh but there's kind
that's kind of almost a
segue to some topics
in the idea of infinity
yeah because some infinities
this is going to blow your mind
some infinities are bigger than
other infinities
How is that possible?
Exactly how is that possible
okay so first of all the first thing you have to understand is that
Infinity is not a number.
Right.
Get rid of that idea in your head.
A lot of people, we talk about it like it's a number, but infinity is not a number.
It is an idea of something endless like you, like you were describing.
Right.
It's a concept.
It's more of like a quality of thing than it is an actual thing.
It's not a number.
So you can't like, you can't like think about it as a number.
You have to think about it as a quality or a tool.
almost. A lot of mathematicians use the concept of infinity as a tool, but the idea is that it's something that doesn't end. And that infinity can be infinite numbers. It can be infinite, whatever, infinite space, infinite time. It's just something that doesn't end. Now, how can some infinities be larger or smaller than other infinities? Well, okay, so, so, so.
So when mathematicians are talking about, like, infinities and different sized infinities,
they talk about either countable or uncountable infinities.
This gets really complicated, and I don't want to dig too deep in it because it's hard to...
Dig ourselves out of.
We could do it.
We could talk about it for infinity.
Wow.
See?
See what I did?
I like that.
I think you might be the only one who's ever made that observation.
Yeah. Yep.
But anyway, so this idea of infinity really started to be explored really deeply when this type of mathematics was invented called set theory.
And set theory just has to do with like how you group things in math and the mathematics you can do on these sets of things.
So the idea of an infinite set came up, which would be a set of things that was never ending.
So an infinite set might be the set of integers, like whole numbers.
Okay.
And so in set theory, one of the things that's interesting about set theory is you can count things without having to have numbers because you can just match them together.
Let's say you are playing musical chairs and you want to know which group is larger, the number of people or the number of chairs.
because you need to make sure that the number of chairs is less than the number of people, right?
You don't necessarily, if you have no words for numbers, you can still figure that out
because you can just match the two things, which group is larger, the number of people or the number of chairs,
and then you know which one is larger or smaller.
If you can match one for one people in chairs, then you know those two things are the same size, have the same number.
Infinite size.
Yeah, so you can do that with infinities.
Let's say you have positive, let's say you have even numbers and you have odd numbers.
And we're talking about whole numbers.
You can match each of these up one for one.
You can match one with two.
You can match three with four, five with six, so on and so forth.
You will be doing it forever.
But you can match them one for one.
And therefore, you can say that those two groups of infinite things are the same size.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah.
So that's a way of counting in set theory.
So one of the inches, so, so how do you figure out one infinity is larger than another?
Well, if you have the number, an infinite set of whole numbers of integers, of, of, of, of, integers.
you can actually, and I won't go through the proof of this because we don't have all the time to go through it, but there's, you can prove that if you, if you have fractions in there, those are countable as well, you know, one half, one over two, one over three, one over four, if you have the set of every possible fraction that you can write, that's also countable, it's also the same size, but, and it's infinitely large, but if you include all of those, you know those numbers that are
decimal numbers that are repeating forever, like the person mentioned, you know, like, you know, right, 33%, like, you know, right, 33% what it translates to in decimal form.
Sure.
Exactly.
Well, that's technically a fractional number.
I'm talking about things like pie.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, gotcha.
Okay.
Where it just goes on forever and yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, pie.
So non-patterned.
Yeah, those are called irrational numbers.
Gotcha.
And they're called irrational not because they don't make any sense, even though maybe they do.
But it's because the opposite of that is a rational number, which is one that can be expressed by a ratio or a fraction, right?
Yeah.
An irrational number is like pi or e or something like that.
If you include those numbers into the group of integers and fractions, there's a mathematical proof that shows that that is actually not countable.
You cannot match those numbers up one for one because no matter what two fractions you write,
next to each other, or irrational numbers,
you can always find another number that would fit in between them.
And the reason that that's important is because as you're counting it,
you can always prove that when you went from this number to the next one,
you missed some in the middle.
Oh.
You can always prove that.
Like I said, I won't walk through the proof because it'll take forever.
But because of that, those numbers are considered uncountable,
and that group of numbers is larger.
than another infinite set.
But that's the whole point is that infinity is this really insanely complex topic of, that's very hard to wrap your brain around.
But that's what mathematicians.
That's why they exist.
Yeah.
I mean, by consequence, you can actually say that all the even numbers, I told you, the even numbers, the set of all even numbers and the set of all odd numbers is the same sized infinity, right?
But the weird thing about infinity is that if you put the even numbers and the odd numbers together and just say all whole numbers, the set of all whole numbers is actually still the same size as just the set of even numbers, even though it seems like it should be half the size, it's still the same size because it's infinitely long.
You can still always match them up one for one.
Oh, weird.
Even though, and that's just really hard for us to wrap our heads around, right?
It is.
Yeah.
Well, I just, the concept in general, obviously mathematics gets us closer to, to a fuller understanding, but I just don't think we have, I don't know, the brain for those levels of thinking so much.
Well, that's what mathematics does, right?
Mathematics is a set of rules and a set of, and it condenses things down and tries to understand these abstract concepts using logical rules.
so that we can wrap our brains around it and it's just really hard and there are
practical applications to understanding these seemingly pointless concepts
right understanding infinity actually is what led to calculus which help
which helps us do innumerable number problems oh sure sure
because because the idea was the classic description of how calculus was was
or why calculus was formed is that
who was it Newton
I think
Sir Isaac Newton
He's the one with the
He got the fruit to the head
The apple
Yeah the apple bunk
In his noggin
Yeah right
So he was trying to figure out
He was trying to figure out what the area
Underneath a curve on a graph
Was if it's like a curvy
graph and not just like a square shape
If it's an irregular shape
That's like curvy and weird
How do you figure out
How much stuff can fit under there
and he was trying to solve that problem
and he found that, well, if you
draw rectangles under it, you can compute the area
of the rectangles. Well, if you make those rectangles
skinnier and skinnier, then you get closer and closer to the
real answer. Well, what if we just
arbitrarily say that those rectangles are
infinitesimally small?
And then how can we add all
those up? And that solve the problem.
And that's what calculus does, is it deals
with the infinitesimal.
You know what? I'm going to admit to something embarrassing
here. Yeah? For years.
well up through my 20s I guess but somebody had told me in junior high that the reason
Newton was so smart was because he got hit with that apple and it caused some kind of
not brain damage but some sort of something that made him so oh it clicked on a switch in
their brain improveage yeah brain improveage from getting whacked in the head by a giant apple
and that's why he was so smart and before that he was just a dummy like the rest of us and I
believed that dumb story for years and years and years and
I was probably 25 before somebody who said,
dude, what are you doing?
And I figured it out.
Yeah, yeah.
What's, that's like that we call that the, uh, the Looney Tunes logic of,
of learning.
Did you start spending all your time under Apple Trees, Scott?
No, no, you'd think I would.
I'm going my lunch into the apple tree.
Yeah, you'd think I would.
And things that they just,
they don't fall off in the way that, you know, you'd hope.
It just seemed like a one in a million chance.
So it never, never happened.
Also, here's another thing that bugged me.
This is a side note.
the infinity brand of cars
the luxury vehicles
I've never
that's never sat well with me because
that car's not going to last forever and there's no way
like it's going to break down they want you to think
it will yeah but I don't that's why
they spell it with an eye at the end
instead of a why because it's
infinity
yeah that's what the lawyer said they needed
quotation marks yeah and by the way
the chat's right TRPW I want to make this clear
I know this too but Newton did not get hit with
any apple that is true
Yeah, exactly, just like cherry,
Washington.
All the cartoons that Brian and I grew up with,
he's always getting hit in heaven.
The old house rock showed an apple,
Your Honor.
But can you prove Newton never got hit with an apple?
No.
You know, prove it you can't.
You can't.
Prove it you can't.
Right.
Try, don't even try.
That's what prove it you can't means.
All right, well, there you go.
We've gone from infinity to infinity and beyond.
And beyond.
And I had a really good, good time.
understanding all of that.
So thanks for addressing it.
And if you guys have questions for Bobby like that,
please keep them coming,
the morning stream.
I love when we get questions because it's just,
it's the easiest way for me to come up with things to talk about.
That's right.
It's content that makes you content.
Yeah, it's content content, content, and a content.
Excellent.
Hey, Bobby, anything else going on with all around science you'd like to tell the fine folks about?
Well, I would like to say I won't be here next week.
Oh, no.
Oh, darn it.
Where are we going to...
Oh, I'm going to miss seeing you on Tuesday.
Taking a trip to Vegas.
I don't know if you guys...
Oh, maybe we'll go, too.
Maybe we'll meet you up there.
Oh, that's pretty good idea.
I'd be happy for you guys to join me up there.
Anybody else who was to come who's listening?
Live Fremont Street Science, the science of topless nuns and things you don't want to pick up off the sidewalk.
Right.
Yeah, I'll talk about the five-second rule.
Oh, it does not apply in Vegas.
I should mention, by the way, if we end up having the wherewe
are a way to decently record our live show like audio of our live show well put that up on
the feed too i'd keep forgetting to mention that but well yeah you will be part of the tms
live thing because i need you to be part of the tms live oh i didn't i didn't know that bobby is that
so what's bobby gonna do you're going to put a i got an email from brian yesterday so apparently
it's happening okay as did scott yeah yeah we were on the same email and scottcher and amy and uh
Did I get copy down?
Did I go to my spam or something?
I don't think I got it.
Oh, well, fine.
I might have.
I may have gone to spam.
That's right.
You already know you're going to be part of the line.
Yeah, I know what's going on.
I'll be fine.
All right, well, that's great, Bobby.
I'm very excited to see you there.
Oh, before you kick me off, there is one.
I want to say what just came out on the all-around science feed.
You would probably be interested in this, Scott, because it's about kids.
And I know how much you and I both enjoy.
Kids are great.
shouldn't say it that way. Yeah, it's all coming out weird, but I know what you mean.
The development, happiness, and growth of children is a key thing we're both interested in, yes.
Yeah. There you go. But we talked about, we had a kind of free-form discussion episode because it was filler content while I was going to, while I was at Disney.
But we talked about kids and how we talk to our kids about science and our ideas of how to teach children and the best ways to do that.
and stuff like that.
So, um,
Mora and I both have kids.
And so we think a lot about that.
And,
and that was a big part of the last week's episode.
And then I also,
as a treat,
um,
included,
speaking of A&P,
I included my science podcasting origin story on there,
which was a piece of,
the first piece of science content I ever created was on my season two of A&P.
Nice.
And,
I included that in that episode as fun content as well.
Nice. It's all good, fun content.
So all around science is the name of the podcast in case I forgot to say that.
So go look for it.
Go look for it.
It's wherever you get it.
Bobby, have a great week.
We'll see you next week in person.
See ya.
Bye now.
See you, Bobby.
In person.
In person, yes.
Explain the science of that.
So, yeah, you and I'll talk about one part of the TMS Live thing.
I guess I have to figure out, do we have a table?
And if we don't have a table in microphones, well, then that part maybe doesn't happen, but we'll figure it out.
Yeah, we'll figure it out.
Some of this stuff you don't know until we're right up in it, and it's okay.
Exactly.
Yeah.
That's the nature of Vegas.
Sometimes you've got to fly by the seedyer pants in Vegas.
Yeah, Vegas is, you know.
Sometimes the seetier pants is going down the side of the stratosphere.
With a really tight front crotch bit, whatever that thing was.
It really was.
Yeah.
It was really tight.
The photo is all the proof you need of how tight Brian's crotch was that day.
All right.
If I'm circled sized or not with that down photo.
A little extra skin helps.
We're out of here.
Thank you all very much.
We're going to go to patreon.com slash TMS is how this show is supported.
If you like this and other content that we produce, we'd love it if you sallied on up and did it.
Patreon.com slash TMS.
We'll get you there.
All kinds of bonus content.
You only need to sign up.
Frogpants.com slash TMS for everything else.
It is time for us to go.
But before we do, we will leave you.
with music. Brian? Yeah. Got a request for
Audie, Audie Norman, or Oddly Normal, as
we know them, also an A&P contestant who says,
Hey Art Dude and Song Guy. So, me and some pals
recently start up a new podcast. We actually advertised it yesterday.
Heck, you might even know a few of them. It's Amy Frost.
TV's Travis, Stephen Adams from Two Dorks,
and me talking classic TV. The show's called Those Were the Days.
And this coming Monday, yesterday, we were talking about
one of my favorite shows, The Greatest American Hero. Yep, a big
shameless plug to request a cover of believe it or not by joey scarberry whatever kind of
cover you've got will take it thanks for all you guys do love the show though oddie oh thanks
all any excuse to play a cover of believe or not a song that really doesn't get request
doesn't get uh cover it enough there is no postmodern jukebox cover of believe it or not and
there should be there's no um um um pomplemoose cover of uh believe it or not and there absolutely
should be, a vitamin string quartet
I don't think has a version. So
get on it, you frequent coverers
of things.
But this version is pretty damn
good. This one comes to us from Ben called
Gas Hammer. And it
comes from a 2009 album called
Channel Surfing, the Telemaniacs,
adds a little bit of a harder edge
to that song that was originally by
Mike Post, you know, TV theme,
extraordinaire with vocals by
Joey Scarberry. Here is, believe it or not,
the theme from the greatest American
and hero. Oh, very nice.
All right. We'll be back tomorrow.
Come back for recommendals and all that fun stuff on a Wednesday.
We'll see you guys then.
Believe it or not
I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Why in a way
Oh we had a prayer
Who could it be
Believe it all not
It's just me
Just me
Just like the light of a new day.
Just like the light of a new day
Hit me from out of the blue
Breaking me out of the spell I was in
Making all of my wishes come true
Believe it or not
Though I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Find a way
All the way and a prayer
Don't want it be
Believe it all that it's just me
This is too good
to be true
Look at me
I'm following for you
I leave it over
I'm leaving so much, oh, walking on air, I never thought I could feel so free
By the way, out of way and a prayer
Who could it be?
Believing or not, it's just me
Oh, walking on air, I never thought I could feel so free
Oh, away, oh, wing, and a prayer
Who could it be?
Believe her not, this just be.
