It is TMS for Tuesday, May 10th, 2022. I'm Scott Johnson. He's Brian Abbott. Hi. Good morning. I am. Hello. Hello.

Oh, man. weird night lots of dreams not going to get into it but um here's the recommendation don't eat uh yogurt too late at night i think that's what gave me the dreams oh really yeah that's funny because that's usually my that's my go-to like oh i'm a little bit hungry get an hour before bed i want something i'll have a yogurt so it's actually that's the reason i did it you're you're i'm right on cue with you here the problem is i think because yogurt's got a bunch of active cultures in it does you think they're activating in your brain or something i don't know like there's a lot of there's a lot of serotonin in your gut so maybe it has some effect there we'd have to ask one of our experts

but uh all i know is i had the weirdest freaking dreams and really yeah just so weird and i but on other nights you've had really weird dreams you haven't had yogurt that's a good point one of those nights you had checks mix if i remember correctly yeah it's not always yogurt it's good point i i think if i eat late at all that's my problem yeah i was going to say that seems to be the common denominator is not what you eat it's that you eat yeah yeah it's that i eat at all at late and i'm usually pretty good about it i try not to eat past seven if i can help it on you know week nights or whatever sometimes you got a weekend where you're doing dinner late or whatever but i try to do that but last night no i failed i went got some some sweet nectar of the gods out

of the fridge the Costco um uh greek yogurt oh yeah that stuff is good Tina's into getting the um oh is it nuza i think it's nusa Nusa. Sounds like something that Jar Jar Binks would order, right? Yeah, nice big hot cup of hood. Oh, bring me some Nusa. Oh, Lord. He probably would.

Wait, so what is that a new? Is that a brand or is that a flavor? What is that? It's a brand. It's a Greek yogurt brand. And it is like they have a lot with fruit on the bottom. They have one that's key lime on the bottom. Yeah.

Oh, it's so dang good. That sounds all right. Oh, look at that. They have ice cream now too. Frozen, I'm sorry, frozen yogurt chelado. sign me up. Yeah. All this sounds good.

Sounds yummy. But yeah, no, their, their key lime is excellent. And what I do, because, you know, apparently I can't not just make it, I can't just enjoy it the way it is. Yeah. I have to take one rectangle, you know, a quarter of a gram cracker. And put it in a Ziploc bag, bash it up with a, with a spoon, and then sprinkle it on top of the,

key lime to make like a little key lime pie action nothing wrong with that that sounds amazing gram cracker crust yeah you got me you have me at you had me at uh graham cracker to be honest big fan so i put the way i do my yogurt is i'll do i'll put the yogurt in there and then i'll dump a load of like uh honey bunches of oats cinnamon addition or whatever and now it's basically cereal with really thick milk is kind of right now it goes right milk that in any other situation would be milk gone bad yeah that would be a smell at first kind of situation right before I did it but yeah it's I don't know it's weird so I'm glad to be awake and alive and in a time where I'm not dreaming because it was weird like it was all strange I didn't like

do you remember any of those dreams and none of this one this one I just remember it all being psycho and crazy and uncomfortable and that's it that's the only details I have I uh for the first night my back is starting to get better that's good pure formis syndrome that I had that's So for the first night, in six nights, I did not take a muscle relaxant to go to sleep. I had a hard time, had a little bit of a hard time getting to sleep. And then I did my usual wake up at 3.30 in the morning, can't sleep, watch an hour of the show I'm either going to recommend until this week or next. So you, so still, so that's interesting. I was, I would have thought, I don't know why I thought this, it's probably dumb to think this, but because that stuff will put you to sleep.

nicely the muscle relaxers and stuff yeah i kind of thought the day you didn't take it maybe you'd have some care not carryover but you'd be maybe used to the like trained maybe no i think it's i think it's a lot like when you take um melatonin where your body just starts relying on it say oh you know what all right uh you've got this cool i'm gonna go ahead and i'm gonna go and sit this one out and uh and then after a week of that your body is not ready it's like oh no i'm still on vacation you figure it out and isn't wanting to use the muscle relaxing to help me sleep. I think that's how heroin works, right? The whole idea behind heroin.

I think it is. Yeah, that's exactly. Probably. Well, I mean, any sort of withdrawal, like any sort of. Yeah, it's your body going, wait, you need me for this now? You were using this for a while. Why did you stop? Because it was helping me do this thing.

Yeah. Yeah, the body got slacky and now it has to overcompensate. Look at us. We're drug experts, everybody. We are. We're self-trained, self-proclaim. drug experts. You know, came with a pandemic.

We all became epidemiology. Epidemiologists, I think, isn't it? Epidemiologists, thank you. Is that right? Yeah. It might be an issue. A syllable or two in there. It started to sound funny.

Epidemi-easios. Don't be an apizologist. Those people snip vaginas. Skin experts. Virus experts. That's what we became. That's right. And then when we need to be political experts and what we need to be where, you know, the

internet is full of excellence. experts. Right. May we all armchair quarterback our way into hell. All right, check this out. Everyone seems to be on Facebook in your friend's list. It's amazing how that works. Exactly.

So speaking of words with an X in it, that zero-scaping business yesterday? Yes. John from Saskatoon wrote in. Hey, that's where Coulter Walls hails from, writes a lot of songs about Saskatoon. Saskatchewan, yeah. Yeah, yeah. He says, Scape and Bergenia or Bergenia. Bergenia, Bergenia.

I don't know. I don't know what that is. I don't know either. I don't know how to take it. I'm not going to look it up because right now I'm okay with John from Saskatoon. If I look that up and find out as something like a butthole, then I'm really going to be ticked off. Yeah, what if it's a butthole? You don't want it to be a little.

I'm not looking it up. I'm not going to look up, Bergenia. Yeah, we don't know. Yeah, always clean your Bergenia. Some Saskatoon thing, some Saskatchewan thing up there. Anyway, so I just wanted, or no, I just finished turning my lawn into mulch, uh, raised beds and garden boxes, six inches of malt spread over the grass is what you need. most absorbent companies, sorry, arborist companies,

absorbing companies. You know, companies can really suck up the liquid. It's not just me. All right, good. Yep, yep. They will send you truckloads of it for cheap. That is true. Dogs don't mind going on it, and it's easy to pick up after them. The mulch slowly breaks down over a few years and enriches the soil below immensely,

giving water shortages and climate change, or given water shortages and climate change, eliminating lawn and replacing it with mulch and beds of native plants, tend to require less water is the way to go. Google no-till gardening, if you want to get into it. Love the show, John. Yeah, man, I'm, I'm into it. We talked about that zero-scaping thing yesterday, and we got a bunch of replies about it.

Yeah. You're still going to call it zero-scaping, even though it's seriously. I can't help it. I've said it that way, my whole life. Zero-escaping. Zero-escaping. Which sounds like me saying zero-ro-ro. Yeah, the O is what you don't want to say zero.

It's zero-escaping. I can't help it. Or zero-escaping. It's just stuck in my head. I know. I know it is. So I'm looking at photos of no-till gardening. And right now I'm just visualizing.

I'm like thinking, oh, my God, I'm just visualizing in my head the letter that I would get from the HOA if I did this to my wife. Well, see, this is the biggest problem. HOAs are the big thing standing in front of everything because they, for whatever reason, they think they need to have the final say in all this bull crap. And it sucks because that's what's going to be hard. to change. Yeah, there it is chat. You can see some pictures of it. Yeah. Um, I mean, I look, we've got neighbors with like, so I was talking to Kim about this yesterday. We have neighbors with really beautiful zero, zero escaping. Okay. I feel like I'm saying zero like zero. Zero. Hey, zero. How many times have you seen me this month? Zero. Anyway, he's, so they've got this

beautiful, beautiful setup they've done with their yard and it's eliminated all the lawn stuff. And it's basically a deal like this. And I said, well, how do they do that and get away with it? She goes, no, it's not a problem. You just have to do it slowly. She goes, you can't do it overnight. Yeah, because then the HOA doesn't notice that it happened. And by the time you're done, it's beautiful and they love it.

So you just have to slowly, you know, go in there, take a little strip out. And I add a little sneaky, sneaky. And then before you know, the HOA is just none the wiser. They don't know. HOA suck anyway. They freaking suck. Gosh, dang it. I hate them.

anyway. Yeah. And then they allow people to have like, you know, hot pink trim on their houses. Yeah. It's so, it is so inconsistent their rule. Yeah, they suck. Look, HOA, your real, your acronym means horrible, uh, horrible, uh, over, overlord assholes. There you go, there you go.

We don't, I'll help you out with this one. Yeah, that's a good one. That's good. That's exactly the one I was looking. for it. Very well done. All right. Well, thanks for that. We're going to do a quick phone call. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you heard me. We're going to make sure this is set up. Yeah, there we go. Because we're going to do 555-T-T-T-T-T. We're going to bring Gwen in and we're going to do this. All right, everybody. Pull up to the beautiful T-Set table that we have set

before you and get ready to test the TMST, or at least Brian and I are going to, and then we're going to talk to Gwen about why this T is rad and why well, why you might all want to try to get it yourself. Gwen, welcome to the show. How are you? Oh, I'm lovely. How are you guys? Good.

We're good. Are you still in you're still in Montana or no? Did you move? I am still in Montana. Yes, I am. I'm not in Red Lodge anymore. Okay. Really close to Captain Pike's summer home. Oh, my God. Is that where he is?

Is that where he is up there? Is that supposed to be? So we watched the first episode of Strange New Worlds, which I'm super, super stoked for. It looks great. It opens with him in his home in Bear Creek, Montana, which is a podunk town of 70 people, like 10 minutes from Red Lodge, over the hill. Wow. It was a mining town, like 50, 60 years ago. but it was it was bizarre just seeing bear creek pop up i had to pause the show and like talk to my

partner like what the hell is going on that is crazy so do they so do you guys you probably are all fans oh i don't know how people feel about montana based entertainment so you got that uh you got your uh your yellowstone show right people love the yellow stone do they love the long mire but that's wyoming yeah that's true close enough close enough you guys are neighbors from the border so that's interesting just to have all this stuff lately that's like set in your in your neck of the woods a little bit weird yeah people are discovering us it's unfortunate it is right because housing prices go up it sucks it's the worst yeah i just bought a house tell you tell me we have a neighbor so we have a neighbor of ours who bought when they bought here

they've spent like 2 30 and with the recent bubble they sold for a million two oh wow yeah it's really gross and then they moved to Montana out in the middle of nowhere where they got a house for like 480 but it came with 12 or 13 acres of land and they are living in life sadly they're loving it except their internet

sucks they have terrible internet I'm like well what do you think you were going to get when you go out in the middle of nowhere he's got to use like satellite or something and it's bad yeah well for 600,000 profit maybe they can buy a satellite or something I don't know send their own satellite internet satellite They'll run their cable from Washington across the tip of Idaho.

Yeah. They're loving it, though. I get the best of both worlds. I'm up in Great Falls, so there's an Air Force base just outside town. So I have fiber. Oh, nice. Perfect. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Wherever the government is, they're going to pull in the big bonus business. Yeah, yeah. That's good. Well, we have one thing we like government for. Let's move into this tea business today. So you've made a new tea. Oh, I forgot the bag.

I was going to show off the bag. But you probably have a bag there that you can show, right? Or do you have a bag? No, I don't. Oh, really? Labels on the bags I have at home. I know what they are. I just go right real quick and Sharpie.

It's just really a nice bag. I just wanted to show people how nice the bag is. Brian's always showing off his bag. I thought we'd show off this bag. See what's going on. Are you on my only fans page? I didn't realize you had access to that. Yeah, I'm on the lower tier, so I don't get all the really good stuff.

That's why you only get the bag. Yeah, I only can... I'm on the bag, dear. That's right, yeah. Can you do that on there? Is that a thing people can do on? Only fans can they have like, well, this one's only good. Yeah.

Somebody had a show title. That's why you only get the bag. Oh, yeah. Dros 1705 has got it all taken care of. All right, so this was made... I made this before we, obviously before we called you. Before the show even started, I put it in a thermosode, stay warm. Ryan's got his nicely steeped and ready to rock.

I haven't tried it yet, so we're going to give it a little. So first of all, hold on, Scott. So, yeah, how did you make it? How did you? Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said, how did you take it or what did you think of it? Make it. So we did it.

Kim did it. Let me make sure I give her credit because she's good at this. Otherwise, otherwise you would have put the leaves in a glass, microwaved it, put cold water in there and waited for magic to happen. I wish so bad you were wrong about that. I really wish you, I wish that was like hyperbole. It's not. That's what I would have done because I'm bad at these things.

But my wife, who's really good at it, she has this beautiful little teapot set thing. She's got a steeper. She's got all this stuff. So she does the whole smear and like did the whole. When I got a whole of you years ago with this tea, I sent a fancy infuser up to you. All you got to do, scoop the leaves in, plop it on the cup. Oh, that's what she used. That's what she used.

That was it. I couldn't remember where I got that. She did use the infuser. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I totally forgot where I got that. Fantastic. Oh, my God.

That thing's so easy, even Scott can use it. That's right, even though I haven't. That improved my T input dramatically because it was like, oh, they lose-leaf tea. What do I? I got to get that little ball out. I got to open it up. I got to somehow fit the T in there. Yeah.

It's a bunch of work, but this made it easy. So, yeah, that's what's. T-balls. That is, who is it? T-Balls. What's a T-Ball? What's a T-Ball? That's the next level on my OnlyFans page.

Oh. T-ball. Yeah, T-ball when I was growing up was a little baseball game you played. I invite a toddler with a plastic bat over.

Oh, that's so weird. I just learned that T-ball was a thing this past weekend. Oh, really? I never heard of it before. You never heard of it? Oh, my gosh,

I have pictures of me playing T-ball when I was eight. I should find those. I should unearth those. They're terrible. I was a very bad player. One time, I hit the ball

really hard. It was like an awesome hit, but I was so scared about actually getting a hit that I ran, instead of to first base in the diamond we were on, I ran to third base on the diamond next to us and rounded its bases.

And yeah, it was real bad. I never forgot that. Was that where you were crouched down in the team photo with your little ball hanging out? No, that was soccer, but it was similar era. It may have been that same year, but it was soccer that year. Anyway, because you got those little shorty short soccer shorts,

you know, and I didn't wear underwear that way. I played soccer. I know that one. This happens a lot. lot. Anyway, all right, so let's test it. The question here is, does your tea have milk in it? Did she make it with milk? I didn't do any milk. Should I have done milk? I did milk in mine, yeah, because I'm drinking it without milk. Okay. I'm drinking it raw, raw ass straight out of the deal. The Brit in me will not do Earl Grey or English breakfast tea without milk.

I've got no milk, just a little bit of pure white sugar, no adultering flavors. I have no sweetener of any sort, and I have to say, I really like this. I like this lemon thing I'm getting out of it. What's in there? So not a lot of people know, but Bergamont, which makes Earl Grey what it is, it is Black Tea with Bergamont, is the extract from the peel of the Bergamont orange native to Italy. Oh, okay. I didn't know that.

Okay. Yep. It's really a lot. lemon it's a lot closer to a lemon but it's technically an orange um so i guess i do you know what i'm getting kind of an orange vibe now that you say that like it's it's definitely citrusy and you know kind of in the family but now that you say orange i guess i can see that it's a kind of orange or a variation of orange sort of can taste it so depending on the earl gray you get it might be the extract of the burgomat fruit it might be the peel it might be the flour

traditional's the peel because it was medicinal the uh earl gray was invented because Because the Earl of Grey, Viscount Howick, wanted a tea that would overcome the lime in his water. Lime the stone, not lime the free. Oh, lime stone. Yeah. Got it. There was real nasty lime in the water up there, and it affected the flavor, and his tea tasted wrong. So a traveling alchemist from China gave him some Bergamont to put in his tea.

And he liked it so much, it became a thing, and he eventually sold the recipe. to uh twinnings oh okay oh yeah because they're a big they're a giant brand they were they were kind of the first mass producer of of rural gray they they invented real gray okay gotcha yeah it's still huge i mean that's yeah yeah and it's twinnings i never knew if it was twinnings or twining so twinnings twinnings okay i always heard i always thought it was twinings as well but i bet the british they want to get a couple the twinnings in the morning yeah so this is uh so this is jean luck pickard except it's well no this is what that is right yeah it's a little more floral than a typical earl gray which i really really like and i usually don't like the floral i'm usually not into the flower taste but i kind of like it in this case it's good

so a lot of people call earl gray flowery or perfumie do you know why uh why because earl gray because bergamot exists in 80 percent of women's perfumes in america Oh, weird. Really? Oh, that's crazy, huh? So people highly associate it with perfume. It's like licking my grandma's neck kind of is what it tastes like. God, I hope not.

All right. Now, we didn't make this clear at the beginning, but we should. This is candidate numero uno for our tea level on the TMS Patreon, right? Yeah. So. Yeah. I was talking with them a couple months ago, and you guys said you wanted a tea for TMS. and we came up with the testing the ship's phasers because Gene Luck Pickard, as you said,

drink Earl Gray. That makes perfect sense. Drink Earl Grey while testing the ship's phasers. I think people are really going to like this. So the way it works is that level up on our Patreon, if you sign up for that one, every month you get this Phoenix Pryl T.T. And you get it in that sweet little bag I was describing that's upstairs and I can't show anybody. With a whole bunch of great TMS in jokes, by the way. We're not going to spoil them for you.

You've got to actually get the bag yourself to see all of the TMSN jokes. And I'll have them on the website. Yeah, pretty awesome. So, and if you're curious, wait, they're like, wait, website, what? Go to phoenixprilt.com. Do we have a slash TMS or no? I don't remember if you did anything. I can certainly set that up.

Wouldn't be. It's not available yet. And my website is closed this week for maintenance. I've got a brand new website coming up this coming Monday. Oh, nice. Very cool. Very cool. Yeah, yeah.

Well, that's awesome. All sorts of new features like subscriptions, so you can subscribe to this tea if you really like it and get a bag every single month outside of every other kind of subscription. That's very cool. A brand new feature of the new website. Very, very cool.

So I was talking to, who was I talking to? I don't remember. But anyway, somebody was saying that the tea market has gotten crappy. And their description to me, I don't remember who this was. Oh, was the guy at this coffee shop

in in St. George. And he was going on and on and on about how the current state of tea is no good. And you should only get teas from little shops and places that really curate what they're doing. And no weird stuff about Burgermont and all the stuff you know. So. Burgermont. Does that jive with you though? Does that jive with you? Kind of a greasy taste. Yeah, greasy flavor to it. Does that sound right to you like your, your world? Obviously, So you guys are very curated, but the mainstream state of tea, he was acting like it was a big mess right now. Like, not a cool. I mean, it's the shipping routes mostly is like it's really hard to get good tea because it comes from China on a big shipping container that takes for goddamn ever.

So people are getting cheaper and cheaper teas that are available here. They're getting them from cheaper sources. Some are probably getting it from like Argentina, which grows a lot of black tea, believe it or not. I don't carry any Argentinian black tea because I have yet to find a single grower in Argentina that grows good black tea. Why is that, do you think? They just don't have the right setups or... Because they prefer the herb they drink down there with more caffeine than tea, which is Yerba Mate. Oh, sure.

Okay. Never even heard of that. What is the caffeine level of this stuff, by the way? Like, if coffee is a 10, where does this sit on the caffeine range? If coffee's a 10, this, what you're drinking right now is probably like a three. Oh, really? Okay. Okay.

A straight black tea would be like a four. Gotcha. Mote would be like a six. Okay. Okay. Really? So even the matte is still not like right off at the level of coffee. Is there one that is?

If you want tea that's like coffee, you want to go to Ecuador and get the Waiusa. Waiusa is a relative of Matae, which we carry proudly. I have one called The Song of Storms. It's amazing. I've got a bag of that or half a bag now upstairs. Have you tried it? I have. That's why I only have half a bag.

You like it? I love it. Yeah. It's good. It's grassy. That has the same caffeine as coffee. Okay. Oh, really?

If you make it properly. Okay. And is it good? Like, you can make it taste good and all that? Okay. That stuff got me through college. Man, I just did a search for why. Waiusa, and here's the number one result.

Viewers left horrified by a 90-year-old granny who enjoys sex orgies. Why is that on there? I'd love to know how you spelled W-U-U-S-A or something, or... No, I did W-Y-U-U-S-A. So I just dropped it in your... It's like Wyoming, USA. Oh, it's with a G? It's pronounced Guay-U-U-A-U-S-A.

G-U-A-Y-U-U-S-A. but it's pronounced why you say It's because they heard you talking about licking grandma's neck Like it's Google And their listening algorithm Is why you're getting stuff like that

Oh no I was afraid I'm on a list now Google's listening Well this looks interesting too But I should also mention that Pixie blush that you love so much Scott That you can't drink anymore Because you're off the shug

Has double the caffeine of coffee Oh wow Okay I do remember that thing Used to get me pretty hyped When I would drink it But it's better for you Because it has Tienine Yeah, that's true.

All tea, matte, why you saw is tianine, which regulates with your natural circadian rhythm. So it slowly brings you up, slowly drops you off. Is there a way to, is there a way to, yeah, I never felt like jittery on it. No, it doesn't give you the jitters. It doesn't give you the crash. But it brings you to the same high as a double shot espresso. Yeah, I really like that about it. Let me ask you this question.

Is there any way that that pixie blush stuff could ever be artificially sweetened so that it's not so much damn. sugar, like muck? Not the pixie blush, because the pixie blush is actually the way that they make the flavor so proper with that one, is it's mixed with blueberry and raspberry and vanilla extract in the sugar crystals. Oh. They actually grow sugar cane right next to the tea plantation, and they harvest the sugar cane, process it, soak it with extracts, grind the matcha, the green tea, super, super, super fine,

and then tumble them together so the matcha binds to the sugar crystal. Oh, okay. So it's probably got some real basic, like, rudimentary connective stuff there that you can't reproduce simply by, you know, introducing an artificial flavor or something. I'd have to spray extract on maja powder, which would just get you a big bag of clumpy macha. Ooh, clumpy macha. Hmm.

So we have a lot of coffee drinkers in the tadpole. What is your recommendation for, like, a good starter tea for somebody who's, who's, only been, you know, enjoying the bean. I love that question. Enjoying the bean. Also another. That'll get you on another list. As a lesbian, I can tell you I enjoy the bean on a daily basis.

So, if you want the caffeine, you want to go for matcha because it's got double the caffeine. There's a bunch of delicious flavors of blueberry and raspberry and vanilla. And I just put out an Earl gray black tea mancha that's super good that I should probably send to you, Brian. And super high caffeine. You want to drink that as a latte. You want to make it with milk. I make mine with oat milk. I've got a, this mug I was starting with over here is a masala chai.

If you do the masala chay lattes, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon. I make them with oat milk. Oh, yeah. Oat milk's the best, dude. Whenever that happened, my life changed for the better. Oat milk's great on everything. I'm off the dairy. Yeah, same.

Because it makes me toot. Yeah. So I do the oat milk. Yeah, old milk's great. We used it in, what do we do? I can't remember now. Some other fancy thing I got while I was on my way to Vegas, and they used oat milk instead of milk, and it was so good.

Like some sort of macchiato or latte or something like that. It wasn't like, I don't know, I'm not really a coffee guy, but they made something that tasted good. And it was like, and it was no sugar in it. Also, it was like sugar-free. They used monk fruit to sweeten it. Oh, no. Monfort's great.

Yeah, monk fruit's awesome. And they used that, um, uh, they used, uh, the, the, the milk. And the other thing is my daughter would love, uh, more people to use oat milk because she's like super big on like, let's do less environmental damage. And I guess, uh, almond milk takes like four or five gallons of water per almond or something. Yeah, it's awful. It's really bad, but oatmeal. Well, I like the flavor. I like the flavor of California's in a drought.

Yeah, that's the other thing. That's the other thing, Brian. That oat milk flavor is better than that almond milk flavor, at least in my opinion. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how you milk an oat, but, uh, hey, whatever they're doing, keep doing it. Keep milking them oats. I think you soak it in water for a real long time in cheese closet.

Yeah. I got you. So it's really just, it's just oatmeal. It's like, uh, I mean, yeah, it's kind of, oatmeal residue. Yeah. I mean, I like it because it tastes like cereal milk, but it's, it's, it's just, it's stuff. In short, though, yeah, if you want the caffeine, go for

mancha. If you want the caffeine but not a latte, go for the Yusa, which again is spelled with G, G-G-U-A-Y-U-S-A. Look up Song of Storms on my website. It's delicious. If you want the flavor with caffeine, go for a black tea with chicory root. People love chicory because it's got that roasty flavor. If you don't want the caffeine, there's tons and tons of chikery root herbals. I have a

coffee replacement on my website that is called a ram's head it is it tastes like fermented coffee really it's made with um it's made with lynchie mushrooms and um it's got chickery it's got it's got all sorts of good stuff in it interesting is it say like is it more savory then like a it's got a savory it's got a savory flavor it's really deep it's really earthy it's uh it's weird it's not for everybody but Yeah. It's like a fermented coffee in a way. If you get that, don't put milk in it.

Yeah. Don't. I, I, it, uh, the, no. Mushroom milk is not great. No, yeah, no, that's not a mushroom milk. Gross. That sounds gross. And I love mushrooms, but,

I had somebody order an iced latte with the Ramshead once, and they handed it back to me, and I poured a little in a shot glass, and it, it was vile. It was awful. I have had a mushroom-infused tequila in a, in a, in a, margarita that was incredible It was so good mushroom infused tequila There's a place here in Denver called

Ghost donkey It's right by the train station I love that Ghost donkey and they make the best Like they have a dozen different kinds of tequila A lot of different infused And then they also do cassidias And you know like

More snack foody kind of stuff As opposed to like full on smothered burritos and stuff But stuff that you can sit there and eat with you know with your hands instead of having to have a fork and knife i played keyboard for ghost donkey for a few years yeah i'm sure yeah they were awesome uh well for pink floyd that one year oh yeah it's a hell of a thing great tour and everything um all right well here's what you're gonna want to do at home if you're interested in these things and i'm talking like really cool like assembled for by smart people for the right taste and all that sort of thing go check out phoenix pearl tea dot com and become

We're back, everybody. We're back. All right. Hey, how about some of this? Oh, look at this. It's time for the news. Yeah, that's right. The news is brought to you by.

Do you like Firefly in the Expans? Do you need a little darkness in your sci-fi? Well, check out the Carasoo. A short story written by Riley Boydston, now available on Kindle for just a dollar. That's right, a dollar. A pirate crew trying their best to survive in the universe ruled by the tyrannical sanctum happen upon a derelict ship only to find themselves facing their worst fears. The first short story in a collection titled The Books of the Void.

Check out the Karasu, K-A-R-A-S-U. I like it. Space Pirates are my favorite space subgenre. My favorite kind of pirates are space pirates. Yeah, honestly. I don't like, you know, regular water pirates. Yeah, they're fine. Yeah, they've really lost their Lester over the last few years with the,

the real ones. But if you're telling me, you're going to, you know, try to commandeer a ship full of, you know, I don't know, important space rocks or something. Companions, sure. Yeah, that's awesome. I love that. All right, here's your first story of the week or the day. Airline, big airline, united in the news.

Sure. I used to fly them all the time. I used to, too. I hate them, though, now. I do. I hate them as well. They're really bad, hard to work with. Anyway, United Airlines Passenger opened an emergency exit and slid down the wing.

Nice. I hope the plane was parked at the time and he didn't just say, I'm on my way out. Bye-bye. Well, here are the Dietz. A passenger board the airplane was arrested for opening the emergency gate and sliding down the wing after the plane had landed. So they had landed. The incident happened at 4.30 a.m. Nothing good happens at 4.30 a.m., in my opinion.

That is a bad time to be alive. Thursday, when flight 2478 at Boeing 737-900 from San Diego, touchdown in Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, where the plane was approaching the gate. A man opened the over-wing exit in row 21, climbed out of the plane, and onto the wing, and then jumped down. Did a little sliding, but then jumped down. You're not allowed to do that.

That's the thing you're not supposed to do. Randy Frank DeVilla, age 57, has been a rote. arrested for his reckless behavior by Chicago officials. He walked out under the wing of the plane and jumped onto the airfield, according to the police. He was arrested and charged with criminal assault, according to police as well. He will appear in court on June 27th. A passenger on the plane at the same flight shared a post on Twitter, it showed the aircraft's emergency door open. It says in her post, Guy jumps out of a plane before we get to the gate, she said in the caption.

So nobody actually got it on camera, unfortunately, like the actual opening and jumping out. because you know you're not you don't have your phone i would think this guy was doing it for his tic-tock like he was doing it for the uh the likes and the views he might have been yeah i would love to see that but uh anyway they have uh real rules about that so that dude's busted and will be arraigned he never gets to sit in the exit row again he broke the one rule of exit row yep it's like that delta flat i took to japan and that uh that drunk japanese business man who kept punching his wife next to him. And so the

flight attendant goes over to try to get things calm down and he punches her. And then they were like trying to restrain him. He gets up, walks all the way to the front of the plane, bangs on the captain's door. He comes out.

This is while the flights in in the air. Yeah, we are over the Pacific Ocean, like in the middle of nowhere. Good Lord. Oh, God. I was a little freaked out. I hated it. Yeah. But he pulls this, this guy comes out and he goes, here's what we're going to do. We're going to turn around and we're going to land in Alaska. We're going to dump you off and you're going to never fly here again and you're going to be taken into custody.

It's totally up to you how you get home from Alaska. Good luck. But then I guess they came to some agreement where he would still be banned, still be in trouble, but they were going to get to Tokyo and they were going to separate him and his wife and I can remember how it all went. So that's what they did. So we didn't have to. And that's where the duct tape, I love the duct tape to a chair. If it didn't cause, you know, so much damage with the glue residue to the chair,

I would think that should be just used as a default. Like the first infraction. I agree. You're out. You're done. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

Here's a fun one. If you ever write a book about murdering your husband, maybe don't admit that you've actually murdered your husband. Maybe use a pen name. Maybe a pen name. Ghost writer. Yeah. This woman who wrote How to Murder your husband, that's the name of the book, accidentally confessed to him murdering her real life.

husband. In 2011, Oregon-based romance novelist Nancy Crampton, Brofey, as her full name. Nancy Crampton Brofey. Yeah. She penned a guest post on a writer's blog titled Consequently about police procedure. Let's see, Campton Brofie wrote, quote, after all, if the murder is supposed to be, is supposed to set me free, I certainly don't want to spend any time in jail. And let me say clearly for the record, I don't like jumpsuits and orange isn't my color. unquote. The 700 word piece was then split into two sections detailing the pros and cons of killing your villainous

husband. Seven years later, on June 2nd, 2018, Crampton Brofey's real-life husband, Dan Brofey, was filling buckets of ice and water at a sink to prepare for his day as an instructor at the Oregon County, let's see, Oregon, the Culinary Institute in Portland when he was shot in the back.

After Brofie collapsed on the ground, he was shot again in the chest at close range. his body was later found in the classroom by the students. While Brofey's death gripped the Oregon culinary industry, nobody's seen more shocked than his wife. For those of you are close to me and feel this deserved a phone call. You are right. I'm struggling to make sense of everything right now, she said at the time.

In a plot twist that arrivals her own books, Crampton Brophy, was arrested three months later in charge with her husband's murder. The self-published romance novelist is currently standing trial, which opened on the 4th of April. so this just started happening in Portland. While the tongue-in-cheek essay serves as a major flag for investigators, the trial judge has deemed it inadmissible as evidence on the grounds that could be unfairly prejudiced the jury.

But in the book itself, she details how she did it. Oh, no way. Really? Seriously? Or how she was going to do it and then did it. And then now she's on trial for doing it. You know, at least O.J. had the common sense to put the word if in the title and say, if I did it. Yeah. If I did it.

here's how I would have done it. Right. This reminds me of something, something where... I mean, it feels like this is how you prove that you want... Oh, my gosh. Look at her. Yeah, I know. She scares the hell out of me.

She does. She looks like somebody that might murder her husband. She does. That is like the worst photo you could possibly... Worst mugshot you could possibly have taken. It's pretty gnarly. She looks like she's about to explode and have a demon come out of her. Wow.

So I know what it reminds me. It just hit me. So that documentary I watched about that Jim Will Fixit guy in Britain, who was like the most popular celebrity in Britain of all time. He was a DJ. You did that Jim Will Fixit show. And then it found out like just prior to his death that he was like a total like child molester and been doing it for years and just horrible, horrible dude. And it reminded me of that because in that there were a bunch of times where he would say out loud things that were so such like he was saying. it out loud, but people

were so enamored, they were missing it. Jeez. And that's like this level of hubris that I don't know how you get there. Yeah, right. You know? You're just like so you're so up there. It's not even as subtle as the jinx who forgot that he had the little microphone

on his shirt. We went to the bathroom. It was like, oh, you know, they're going to figure out that I did it. Oh, crap. They're going to figure out that I did it. Yeah, but in this case, you're like so open. saying it yeah like you're you're saying it so openly that out of it yeah and it's almost like you're caught or something yeah yeah but yet you know the guy lives to 80 something and never did but he died before they could get him uh get him in trouble a jack an ape anyway claire doesn't like that

story i'm sure she probably grew up everyone grew up with that dude he over there he's like our version of i don't know uh i don't know what to compare him to because he had stuff for kids he had stuff for adults he had stuff in the music business he had stuff for TV just variety show stuff he's just yeah he's gross it's like finding out that Ryan Seacrest has a dark

like a dark passage maybe it is like that you know Sechrest is probably as good as examples we could get he's yeah he's probably just as damn squeaky clean as he appears to be on television he seems fine yeah I mean who knows you never can tell with people but he seems fine we're not casting any aspersions of his

direction is what we're saying okay everybody we know we're not saying pee we just we just masturbated in a movie theater in a in a porn theater there's come on now yeah you know how many people do that how many scott i don't know i really don't know well i'm counting seven right now uh all right here's a fun one i got to send this to my real estate friend real estate agents sued for alleged sex Capade in their clients' home. Nice. This is another bold-faced thing to do.

James and Laura Glenn expected an easy payday when they listed their three-bedroom condo on a red-hot Hampton market with the Browns-Harris Stevens last spring. That's the name of the real estate company. The real estate company, yeah. But the listing agents, Christopher Burnside and Aubrey Peel, I don't know.

I'm not trying to make anything of their names. I know. I'm trying to think like Burnside and Peel. Hmm. Sounds like another law firm or something. It does, yeah. Anyway, had other uses for the unit in mind, according to the couple. And the lawsuit filed in December, the Glenn's allegedly had, or rather than soliciting

office for the home, the agents used the guise of an open house to engage in a big sex capades in its primary bedroom. The lawsuit, which alleged that Burnside and Peel breached their contractual and fiduciary responsibilities, in addition to inflicting emotional trauma on their clients, sought $100,000 in damages. Burnside Peel, Brown Harris-Stevens, and the ham. Hamptons were named as defendants. The total lack of interest by a defendants to act in the proper manner for the exclusive agent listing was compounded by the absolute disregard for another's privacy and flagrant disrespect for another's property, said the complaint. So they basically had an orgy in there and invited their friends. Is that what the deal is?

Because I'm trying to figure out what the actual, what the definition of a sex capade. Was it just the two of them having sex? No, it was them. I think it was them bringing people in. According to this, there was a... Let's see here. It's later down in the article. Here we go.

We confronted. Yeah, I'm looking. It's very sure he did. Oh, here we go. Complain Prince has a schedule for me. No, that's not it. Yeah, it looks like... I mean, it looks like it's just the two of them having sex.

Yeah, maybe that's it. I mean, they still shouldn't do that. No, no. It's not their house to do that in. But it's not, it doesn't look like it's like a big sex party. I thought it was. Confident with this information lawsuit claims Burnside confessed to using the bedroom for a sexual encounter and offered to continue the listing with zero commission and fulfill his fiduciary duties under the exclusive contract. Why were you in there doing that?

I mean, you know, let's, okay, what they did is bad, but it's hardly deserving of the title sex campaign. Yeah, I don't think the word sex capade is good, right? Were they in costume on ice skates or something? It's like, that's what I'm... Right, when you put capade on something, it's like ice capades or... Right, you think it's a performance, exactly. Dance capades or... I'll see the Sesame Street sex capades or whatever.

You've never seen Grover like this. That's right. Boobes on ice. Boobes on ice. No, don't do that. That would hurt. No, don't do that one. Yeah.

Let's take a break. When we come back, uh, Bill's out of town. He's driving with his wife to see some family. Her side of the family. So he's not going to be on today. Instead, we have a substitute in the form of one Garrett Wineserl. And I won't even hint what's happening yet. But when he gets here, we'll talk about it. So that's coming up. I know. I know. We have Bobby and Garrett Wineserl in today's show.

I know. I know. The hair. Like, I can't, I mean, I got to leave. I can't compete with the, with the hair product that's going to be on display over the next time. Brian, it's a hair capade, really. It is a hair capade. The quaffcapades. If you guys are ready for the hair quaffcapades, we got good news for you. So come back after this song, which you will now play.

So what song is it? Yeah, so playing a song by an artist named Yasei, Y-A-S-I. And probably most recently famous for a Taco Bell commercial. I love the Taco Bell commercials about the return of nacho fries and a whole deja vu thing. Their song, her song was featured. in the background of that but she's got a brand new rnb bop which i'm just loving this thing is so great and we were in california yesterday for the uh for the india in the middle a song called california today we're we're going even uh closer in with a song called beverly

uh this is yasi with uh featuring rick wilson and it is a brand new single let's see here it's second in the handful of singles that yasi is going to be releasing throughout the year So no album plans, but certainly this song will be on everyone's ears. Here is Beverly featuring Rick Wilson by Yassi. Why? Why we never try a second time? What I got it through to make it. Bye. I'll do anything to make it.

And the next day forget words that we had Kind of want to figure ways to avoid Escape and cultivate all the love we made Before you let this fade Yeah, come on Before you're saying It's getting complicated Trying to convey this

It's getting hard You've got to know These feelings we're exchanging Baby I'm afraid you let's go I don't want to be a memory baby tell me that you really love me no pleasant tree

I don't want to be a memory tell me that you'll meet me at the house I don't believe I don't believe I don't want to be a I don't want to be a I don't want to be a I don't want to be a memory

Oh, I don't want to be a memory. I don't want to be a memory. Baby, tell me that you already don't need no present. I don't want to be a memory. Hi, I'm Lily Tomlin. I'm a Pac-Man freak. Just once, I'd like to taste something without getting a mouthful of hair. The morning stream.

It's what's in the yogurt. That's funny. playing that yogurt thing with the yogurt talk. Which would just be cereal in Scott's case. It would just be cereal. Hey, Brian, who was that again? I liked it. That was, yeah, that was Yasee, Y-A-S-I, and a brand-new song called Beverly.

Very nice. Beverly. Beverly. Beverly. Oh, no. Duk, Crusher. Do they get married in the lore? What's going on in Picard these day?

I haven't seen any of this Picard season two. I haven't seen any of season two. And I fell off season one. we actually just finished I'm not going to use it as a recommendal but we did just finish the second half of season three of Discovery oh yeah whatever the

current season is a fourth I can't even remember but it was good you know it's more it's uh I'm looking forward to seeing Strange New Worlds and getting back to the problem of the week kind of yeah I really like that they're doing that I think there's there was a lot of resistance to doing that and I think them finally doing it

there's so much good buzz about this might be the one best decision they've made with with treks so we shall see what they do i will say this the second half of whatever the most recent season of discovery was better than the first half of that season oh so it did pick up in the second half okay well what's his name is my favorite character oh he's great yeah the michael burnham is a good character i also like the alien guy whose name i never remember all right i'm gonna play i'm gonna play a theme and it's going to be a little longer than you used to but hey it's a one-off so why not here you go

Today's quality cars are miracles of engineering precision. I couldn't help but have a whole crash at the end. Wow. Nicely done. Welcome to the program. Garrett Weinzerol joining us this morning for driving stuff with Garrett. Garrett, welcome. Sorry, Garrett, we're out of time.

Sorry for the incredibly long intro, but it's good. to have you here. How are you, man? Brian, Scott, could one of you please call an ambulance? I appear to be in great need of medical aid. Yeah, you're going to need some, you're going to need some traction, probably. That's right. I think that's my medical opinion. But anyway, it's good to have you here. We were, when Bill told me he wasn't coming in and then, you know, Garrett and I talk all the time. And Garrett's like, car this and car that. And he was like, why don't we just do one of these? So we're doing one. We're going to talk about cars. Last time I filled in for Brian. We had a long car chat. Oh, yeah. We did. It was almost car talk, but that name was taken. So

we didn't use it. I was going to, I was consider, you could call this grinding actual gears. Oh, very nice. That's pretty good. I like that. Grading actual gears with Garrett. Yeah, actual gear grinding with Garrett. So it's good to have you here.

Of course, we'll talk about some of the cool stuff you're doing these days a little bit later. But we wanted to talk today about the Nissan Z. There's no number in front of it, right? Like, usually there's a number. There is no number. Yeah. This thing's been rumored for so long because the day. Sam 370 Z is over 10 years old now, basically unchanged.

And so everyone thought the next one was going to be called the 400 Z, because it was rumored to have 400 horsepower. And then Nissan was like, ha, just kidding. It's just a Z. Have fun disagreeing on the name, American and European pronunciators. I think it's probably okay because, yeah, Zed. It's called the Zed. I think it's probably okay because it's got its own iconic.

history right like I remember the the Dotson 280 Z yeah my dad had one of those that was the coolest car I want one now in fact take give me one of those restore it I don't want to do the work it sounds like a lot of work so I don't make me do it but just give me one of those restored and ready to rock and I'd be really happy is this in any way sort of throwback to that era or are we looking 100% yeah there's there's so many like every angle you look at this new Z there's there's winks and nods and much less subtle uh throwbacks to older versions of the z

cars because uh yeah you're right the 280s is is one of the precursors um and before that we had the 240 which is a very first z car um which back then you would have known them as a dotson because Nissan was calling anything outside of Japan a dotson that's right oh now that's interesting were they were so in Japan they were Nissan yeah I didn't know it's my understanding I think there were a couple cars specifically they called Dotson but the simplified view is

cars they sold outside of Japan got a Dotson moniker until I think like 84 83. Okay. Yeah that sounds about right. When I was in high school short story here my dad was buying and selling cars from California

go to the auction out there, bring him to Utah and sell them in the local thing or he would fix him up himself and sell him himself or whatever. He was doing this on and off and contracting with dealerships and stuff for used cars and he would often come home with some really dumb lame cars but sometimes really cool cars and one of them was a 300 ZX black tea roof uh like new almost in every way um and i got to you then what would happen the nice thing about this was if i was if he was in between auctions or sales cycles and i had a date on a friday or saturday night i could take one of the cool cars uh on the date and sometimes

that would suck because he'd have nothing but lane cars and I'd end up taking a you know some stupid chavette or chival or chvette yeah just garbage car but this one date with this one girl I got to take that car had an amazing stereo in it CD player and all this stuff

it's just so nice black leather interior beautiful car and it was turbo and I'm driving this thing around time was this an 80s one this was an 80s one for sure okay so this is the first 300 ZX there were like two gens of the 300 ZX. If you had the turbo model, I believe that was a Garrett Turbo. Oh, really? Oh, really?

Named after Garrett Weinzerl, our guest today. Just kidding. It's even spelled correctly. They have two R's N2Ds at a turbo company. Well, they, so this may speak poorly of that. I don't know, but when I was in the middle of driving that thing, I hit a bump, not too hard, but kind of a dip or bump where it wasn't clearly marked and I was going a little too fast or something. And basically, whatever the turbo is stopped working and parts of it fell out of the car and like scattered all over the road so that was a lot of fun because i had to come home and go dad i think i did i think something weird you know i had to try to explain what the hell happened to the car and that's that sort of

sucked um but where the turbo's not uh you know i mean what is the state of turbo i don't know that i've ever known anyone who's had a car with turbo where it's worked for very long they always break i had it i had the vogue new beetle with uh with turbo and uh maybe you Used it twice. Never gave you trouble or broke down or anything. No, never had any problems with it. All right. Maybe it's just my experience.

My last car had a turbo, and it was great. Turbos are fun, man. They make great noises. Also, they're horribly expensive. You broke like the second most expensive thing on that car. I know I did. And then I did the same thing with an MR2. About a month later, I hit a speed bump too fast and I broke struts on it.

And then the thing wouldn't turn anymore. You and Japanese sports cars apparently. it along, which is hilarious, because they are known for their reliability. Yeah, that's true. It's not like I'm talking about some jalopy that nobody can trust or a total lemon or whatever. Well, this thing looks super hot. There's no plans for an electric as best I can tell, right? This is just... No, no, no. This is... In general, it's just kind of an awesome time to be into cars. Like, regardless, if you're excited about the new stuff, if you're into EVs, like, that's exciting. but also if you're into gas engines,

the writing's on the wall and all the car manufacturers are just having one big last hurrah for gas-powered vehicles. That's an interesting. Okay, I wanted to ask you that because it does feel like that, but I always wonder if that's just my bias

because I'm reading about EVs and I'm like following that whole market and I just, I get to hang around a Rivian last week in Vegas or two weeks ago. One of our fans drove one. Super cool truck. That thing blew my mind. and so the feeling in my head is Brian and I even talked about this like it feels like the next car if I get another car it'll be electric like why would I even why wouldn't I yeah I'm thinking either electric or hybrid I'm looking at that Kia Nero and one of the one of the two models that they have for that I just want to see what reviews look like when they finally come out I saw a Nissan uh juke yesterday that was a I don't know if those are all electric but the one I saw was

you have an electric juke maybe it was converted i had a quite i stopped making the juke and well i mean they had it there was a juke there whether it's old or what the deal was i don't know but it said electric on the side so i i assumed it was electric i didn't actually verify this uh listen i am i would not call myself a juke specialist so i can neither confirm nor deny is it weird that i kind of like the juke looks like uh 2022 juke hybrid okay no okay maybe it's a hybrid they're still making that hideous thing. Now, what does it say about me that I think the juke is kind of cool looking? Am I broken a human? Like, what's wrong with me? You know, listen, it, uh, your, your question of like, why would I get anything out of than an EV? It really kind of depends on like, my answer to that is like,

well, what are you, what is a car for you? Because if a car for you is getting A to B, yeah, I don't think there's much of an argument against just going EV at this point. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, a good point. Because like, the, the issues around them used to be, well, you're never going to get the mileage you want you get out of the other car. Well, that's all change. You know, you're getting 350, 400 miles now. Okay, and the other complaint was, well, you know, top speed or even zero to 60 speeds are all hindered by the limits of electric cars. That's not true at all anymore. No, no, there's straight up the fastest car and really outside of extreme, extreme edge case modification stereos, there's no beating electric straight line speed.

They're just torque for days. So as a guy, as a guy who's super invested in that world as you are and you know these cars, you, you know, you're always, you know, interested in what's happening in that space and all of that. You're not one of these people that's like jaded about, well, these new EVs taken over. I'm going to sure miss, but, I mean, you're happy, you're happy to see it go this direction. How do car aficionados feel about EVs, I guess is what I'm asking? It's a mixed bag, depending on what you're into. So, like, if your answer, like, to what a car is to you is essentially an appliance that you need to have to get to work or to just, you know, get

around for commute purposes. Yeah, it's totally, there's really, EVs are great. But if you're an enthusiast and cars to you are also something that you like you enjoy, whether, and there's so many different things you can enjoy about a car, you can enjoy the way they look from like an artistic perspective, you can enjoy the way they drive like different types of cars for enthusiasts, feel different ways, drive certain ways, and, and you talk to one car enthusiast to another, they are going to prefer different things and different cars for different reasons.

And that's kind of where the Z comes in. It is an enthusiast vehicle, like first and foremost, you know, going all the way back to the 240, this is like Nissan's flagship sports car. Yeah. And it's the classic recipe of a sports car is an engine in the front and its rear wheel drive. Right. That is the classic sports car recipe, also two doors. Yeah.

So this is a brand new car that's going to be a 2023 model year. And the big news in enthusiast space. the reason we are all excited about it is they're still going to be offering it with a six-speed manual transmission oh nice that's what you want you don't want no automatics for losers man that's what i say so that's the thing right so this is like the big dichotomy between like are you in the cars as like for an enthusiast purpose or are you into cars as like i like the newest latest best from like a commuter purpose because if you're the latter you're more likely to be into EVs and be very excited about that but if you're into it for an enthusiast purposes and

you're more excited about the actual act of driving, you're probably going to still be more into the gas side of things because EVs, while they are, cannot be beat in straight line speed, they're really heavy, which luckily that most of the weight is at the bottom, which still gives them a really low center of gravity, but you're not going to get like these light spry scalpel precision performance sports cars. Oh, interesting. So far it doesn't exist.

the batteries are simply too heavy. So how does, do you think there's a future where they get really, you know, they focus on an EV sports car so much that they're like, all right, we have to consider this weight distribution and figure out a way to like, I don't know, spread these batteries around the way they do with like an iPad where it's like all, you know, the batteries kind of everywhere to make it so it's nice and flat and long or whatever. Do you think there's a, there's a path for that?

I think so absolutely. There's a lot of interest in it too because, like to people who, who, who, haven't even, like, looked at a manual transmission in 30 years. It seems insane that there's people who prefer it. But the enthusiast driving and the act of driving, it is a big hobby for a lot of people. And it's honestly, for me, I kind of explain it to be like, I don't know, it's kind of a hipster thing. A lot of people still like vinyl. It's horribly inconvenient, but you may prefer it for one reason or another.

I'm that way about manual transmissions. It's just, I think it's more fun. I like the act of shifting a car myself. And so that exists, and there is that niche, and a lot of car manufacturers understand that. And as a matter of fact, I know Toyota, for a fact, has a prototype manual EV. Oh, wow. So there's companies working on it. And there's also, like, full-on EV conversions.

A few years back, I'm a big fan of, like, professional competitive drifting, like, what you would know from Tokyo Drift. Sure. There's the best of the fast five movies or the Fast and Furious movies is Tokyo Drift. I love that movie. Yeah. Yeah, there's competitive forms of that. And a couple years ago, they did a full-on, they converted a Camaro to full-on electric. But to drift, you have to have manual transmission.

So it was a EV converted Camero that still had a clutch and a manual gearbox. That's pretty cool. Do a clutch dump and light the real wheels up. All right. So let's do this real quick. If you are somebody who, there's somebody comes to you and says, I want Garrett's number one car pick for the next model. year or it could be a 2022 we'll give you a little leeway there

what do you do where do you send them and let's say that they're there you know issues like I mean obviously there can be somebody well we need a van for the kids I don't mean that like in this in this arena enthusiast car enthusiast car yeah and and specifically

I guess it doesn't have to be Japanese make but you know like in this zone what are you what's your go to this year there's so there's so many things to factor and I'm I'm going to be hugely biased in this answer, but if you want a good enthusiast car that isn't going to make you take out

a second mortgage, I really love that two manufacturers basically make the exact same car. Toyota and Subaru, we have the first gen of this, Katie drives one, it's a Toyota 86. They just came out with a whole new second generation of these cars over on

Subaru, it's the BRZ, and on Toyota it is now the GR-86 and it's a little four-cylinder engine in the front, power goes to the rear, You can still get it with a six-speed manual. They're light, they're fun. They're not wicked fast in a straight line, but we take Katie's up to the mountains,

usually once a year, and it's among the most fun things I've ever done is just with that thing around mountain roads. That sounds great, and you're not going to break your bank, which is the key. That's cool. Yeah, they start around 28, I think, brand new,

and the used market. Because the first gen's been around since 2013, so you can find a used one for a good price. Uh, this is so weird. It's like talking to my dad back in the day. He used to be so into this stuff. So, all right, let me ask you one final question. If Garrett was going to go out and slap down, let's say you had 100 grand to work with to buy an EV today. What would, uh, what would, what would get you? Yeah. Brand new electric vehicle. I actually don't know how much the Rivian is, but I love the Rivian. How much is a Rivian? They're about 100 grand. Well, I think 80, start in the 85 range or something. Oh, then I'd probably go get a rivian. That or I, I, I, I, I, that. That. I, I, I, had a right wait for the f-150 lightning i think that uh i think the the f-150 lightning looks i love that it just looks like a real truck like a normal truck it doesn't look like totally does five years is gonna it's gonna be like epcot where it's gonna right their version of space or their version of the future yeah exactly uh yeah i i guess i was blown i was so blown away

by this rivian the little tour he gave us that i was i walked away convinced this is this is what i want my next car to be but i'm like i'm not i don't have a hundred You know, he works for Rivian, so maybe he gets a huge discount or something. Oh, yeah, probably. I mean, 100 grand? Can't do it. It's not happening. I would.

67,000, 675 on the R1T on the low end. That's not too bad. Yeah. Good luck getting it for actual sticker, though. I know applications are quite difficult. Yeah. It's like that new, that new Hummer they put out. I've seen markups more than double.

Oh, really? Oh, they made an EV Hummer. That's right. Oh, yeah. It's absolutely insane. One of the most ridiculous looking EVs ever. I kind of love it, though. Oh, I kind of do, too.

Look at the top down. But it's super low production, and, you know, the MSRP is already ridiculous. But I've seen them marked up to almost half a mill, depending on where you look. I have to admit, this is a rad-looking car. I didn't think I was going to. Yeah, when you said, you said Hummer. They managed to capture the essence of what a Hummer, like, what makes them look cool. and then also like it kind of looks like you can just take the damn thing to the moon

and be fine do you have any uh thoughts up or down on the the um what's the Volkswagen one the car brand new one oh the not the bus they just announced that they're doing an EV bus which I love I really like that one too is it a new a new designation thought it had let's see Volkswagen I thought it had a new name but maybe I'm remembering this wrong oh here it is ID4 it's called Yeah Any thoughts on that thing? Because we're

I don't know Kim and I We like our Volkswagen As an enthusiast SUVs make me die A little inside They are I'm glad

Every manufacturer has High volume selling boring cars Because they fund The low volume selling sports cars That I love

Ah that's the attitude we have about John and I are talking about this We need mobile games to thrive so that his so the all our triple a games continue to get funding that's that's the idea i mean that's the only way you could probably sleep at night after that warcraft mobile

yeah that's right uh at least for me anyway i don't know that thing looks like poop uh all right well this is great um i still to this day think garrett should be doing a like a regular show on cars but uh in the meantime you got plenty of other content tell people where they can get some of that stuff yeah absolutely a move dot tv as always but my big new thing is chronicling my first ever play through of Final Fantasy 14 over on YouTube. It's my first ever YouTube-only content. I'm doing it with Kyle Ferguson from Into the Nexus. And you can find that at YouTube.com slash amov TV.

AM-O-V-E-TV. You should do that because it's really good. And you guys are kind of kicking butt over there. And I'm super happy to see that. So congratulations. It's my fastest growing content in a really long time. And it's been really rewarding. Well, well done.

Go check it out. Yeah, that's very cool. It's Garrett Weinzeril, everybody. Zerple to his friends. and you can find him at Garrett Art on Twitter as well. So make sure you spend a little time over there. Garrett, have a fantastic time. We'll see you next time.

This happens. See, Garrett. Bye. Bye, Brad. It's a good one. Into the ether. Always like a good one like that. That's great.

I try to time it so it works, but it doesn't always work. All right. If you're all starving for a little science, I understand. And thank goodness we're here for you because now we're going to do this. Time for some science with Bobby Frankenberger, who comes on the show and does, you know, a little bit of catching us up on what's going on in the world of science. Bobby, welcome back. Thanks for welcoming me. I don't know why I was not expecting to be greeted.

You're welcome to be welcomed. I feel like you're always going to be welcomed. And, you know, so welcome, I suppose, to the show. It's good to see you as always. I feel like we just saw you in Vegas, but I know it's been two weeks now and it still feels like we were just there. so I don't know what's going on. It does. Yeah.

It's a great. What a great time. Great photo floating around of Bobby in his freaking disco jacket he wore. Yes. So good. Everybody keeps saying that I need to be wearing it to these, but I say save it for the events. Come on, guy.

Right. Why do you want to spill all your popcorn in the lobby, you know? Yeah. You want to see the jacket. Then you need to come to Vegas. Yeah. Come to Vegas. Or in the meantime, go to South Carolina and bump into him.

at some store at a pigly wiggly or something i'll wear it to the store every time i go to the store just in case perfect perfect perfect all right well one thing we like to do on our tuesdays is get a little science update what's going on in the world that sort of thing and bobby brought something what do you got man yeah uh so a week ago uh i was talking with brian about some some boring an tp meeting i'm sure yeah sure and and and brian asked me a question that I gave a kind of a lame answer to which Brian you are asking me

how like for some tips and advice on like training because you're training for a bike ride a long distance thing oh yeah and I told you well I kind of remember what I did for running but I took a different you know and I just wasn't prepared so I thought

so I started reading on it because I was going to send you some stuff and as I was reading and learning more and more and refreshing my memory and refreshing my memory on what I knew, I thought, wow, this would be a great thing for other people. Like, we could talk about it. So I wanted to talk about what happens to your body when you're training for an endurance like when you're endurance training, which is very different from other types of physical training.

Yeah, this is, and I'm not going for speed. I'm going for how do I last on the bike for five and a half to six hours? Right. Two days in a row. Right. And so to cut to the chase, I guess, and then I'll give some more info, but to cut to the chase, the idea with endurance training is you want to, you want to take it really, whenever you're training and practicing and doing your workouts and exercises, you want to, you want it to all be very easy and slow, which is very different than other types. But why is that? There's a lot of science behind why it is that you want to go slow and easy. easy. So, um, so, so when, when you're trying to endure, train for a long distance sort of thing,

whether it be running or or cycling or something like that, you're trying to get your muscles used to doing an activity for a long period of time, which is very different than like trying to lift 150 pounds. I don't know what's a lot to lift. Is that a lot? I think that's a lot to me. Sounds like a lot to me. Yeah. I don't lift weights. It seems like a lot. But it also seems like not a lot. If you're doing it all the time, like people would be in the 230, 300 range at the top end. But I think that that still supports what you're saying. Like start low. Right. So when you're lifting weights. Yeah. When your strength training, when you're strength training or bodybuilding, the goal is a lot different. You're actually

building muscle. Or rather, you're increasing the size of your muscle because you might not know this but but you your muscle cells don't actually multiply it they don't make you don't make new muscle cells oh I didn't know that yeah you actually when you're when you're weightlifting strength training bodybuilding you're just increasing the size of the existing ones by adding stuff to it but but stuffing more things inside the cells basically is the easy way to think about it sure and so that's that's what you're doing when you're strength training, but that's not helpful when you're long

distance endurance training because you want to, the goal is different. Right. You don't, and it all comes down to energy, needing energy for your muscles to do their job, right? Right. And so, I'm just going to call it

energy, but for those who like to know the terminology, the energy that your body uses is in the form of what's called ATP or like adenicine, tri-phosphate, I think is what it's called. America's top podcaster. That's what it sounds like.

Current, not next. Ah, gotcha. But the, so it's ATP. And when you're endurance training, what you're trying to do is make it so that your body is better, more efficient at creating and using that energy. So, so the, the way you do that is by. slowly training your body and slowly doing low intensity activities so that you can stay in certain zones and certain areas of heart rate and breathing that will put your body in a condition where hormones and different enzymes are moving around,

triggering your body to say, oh, we need to do this more often. So when you're doing those types of things, when you're doing long distance runs or long distance bike rides and everything, the way your muscles change is that, first of all, you need to get oxygen to your muscles, right? The part of the fuel, so the fuel of exercise and your muscles is, is fat and carbohydrates, right? That's why you always hear about, like, carboloading before a race or something like that. People eat, like, 15 chickens and then... The ton of pasta, yeah. Yeah, exactly.

So you want fat and carbohydrates to give your body the fuel it needs to be able to last. But to turn that those fats and carbohydrates into energy, your body needs oxygen. And so that's why you breathe so heavily when you're going on and when you're running and doing all that kind of stuff is your body's trying to get more oxygen. So this is called aerobic respiration or aerobic refers to oxygen. It's your body is using oxygen. oxygen to turn those fats and carbohydrates into energy. And using oxygen is a really efficient way to do it. But it's not the only way to do it.

The other way to do it is called anaerobic or without oxygen, respiration or energy production. Sure. And the problem with doing it the other way is that that produces what's called lactic acid. And it makes your muscles burn, right? Yeah. So you're used to that feeling. Now, I'm giving all this background because it's going to help understand what it is that you need to do to make your body better at doing those things. If you push yourself too hard and then you're going to start, your body is going to run out of oxygen that it can use to to produce energy.

So, Brian, like if you're going up a hill on your bike and you're pushing really, pumping really hard with your legs, you're using. those muscles quite a lot and your body is just you're breathing heavy your body's converting you know making energy using oxygen but it's saying oh crap we need we need energy faster than this because we're going up a big hill which i'm sure there are lots of in denver lots of many many hills right um so so you're to do that your body starts saying okay we're gonna we're gonna do the anaerobic thing now and we're gonna start we don't have enough oxygen here but we need still need energy and so to do that it starts doing starts using a different cycle a different process and the byproduct of that is the lactic acid that ends up in your muscles and it starts to burn right

yeah um now your body can clear that's like it doesn't stay there forever your body can clear all that lactic acid but it takes time and and if you're producing it too fast then it's going to start to build up and that's when you hit those walls and you can't can you can't go anymore because not only does it burn but lactic acid in your muscles also makes it so your muscles can't contract and do their job as easily so that's when it's harder to move them and you start cramping and things seize up is it is that process corrosive over time like if you're doing it too much too much lactic acid like can be destructive to your muscle tissue or I think technically it can be there's a condition called lactic acidosis that is pretty

dangerous but that's I think very extreme typically your body is just going to like give up before then you ever seen like a marathon where people are running past the finish line in a marathon and they're like all wobbly legged and falling all over the place yeah that's because their muscles are getting to that point they're just saying we're done yeah we're right and so they're just going to stop and and so what you want to do is you want to there's a line between your activity where your body is using oxygen and it no longer is able to keep up with the oxygen and it needs to do something that's going to produce lactate or lactic acid. Right. That is a, there's a threshold there, and it's an important threshold because we call it the lactate threshold. Okay. Well, and so if you ever hear about, if you read about training for endurance exercise, endurance training, the,

lactate threshold is an important thing that has talked about a lot because that, again, that's the point when your body switches over. It's more complicated than this, but essentially you can think of it as switching over from using oxygen to using harder to maintain forms of energy. So you don't want to cross that threshold when you're trying to go 75 miles in a day, right, Brian? Or, you know, you're trying to run 26 miles. Just under that threshold. Right. So that's the goal. Okay. So ideally, if you can push that threshold further, then that makes it so you can last longer and do better in whatever, you know, marathon or bike ride you're doing, right?

Yeah, yeah. So that's the goal of endurance training is to push that threshold further. And the way that your body does that is by add. capillaries all around your muscle fibers so like the capillaries are the little tiny blood vessels that carry blood directly to your muscles and all the tiny places around your body so if you can add more capillaries around your muscles then your body will be able to more efficiently transport oxygen so you that will help push the the that threshold further if you it will also help clear waste from your muscles

like lactic acid so it'll get rid of it more quickly. Okay. So that's one thing your body does, adds capillaries. Another thing it does is it produces more mitochondria. Have you ever heard of mitochondria? Yes, I have. I don't remember what it is. That is the energy factory of your cells. They actually do the work of creating the energy. They take the oxygen and use it with the fats and carbohydrates to make the energy. So if you can make, if your cells can have more mitochondria, then your cells are more efficient, that's another thing your body does when you're in training is it actually produces more

of these, makes more factories, energy factories, right? So I'm given all this background, how do you actually make your body do those things of making you more efficient? It's all about hanging out in your training, hanging out in that aerobic zone of spending a lot of time, you know, using oxygen, but pushing yourself pretty close to that line of, you know, going over the line of that threshold, but not quite getting there. And so if you hang out close to that, your body says, okay, that's when it starts to produce these capillaries and increase your mitochondria density in your cells and everything. Now, is there a way to know

when you're hitting that lactate threshold? Good question. That is the hardest part. Great question. There are a lot of, there are a lot of like rule of thumb ways. If you look it up, there's going to be varying ways that they teach you how to find out

where that threshold is. And in running, there's, you know, these methods of running a certain pace and then measuring your heart rate. It's all based on heart rate and breathing, right? Okay. So there's all these different ways in running that you can measure it.

There's a rule of thumb, an easy way to do it when you're running. They call it like the seven-word test or something like that. It's like, I can't remember. But it's the idea that while you're running, you should be able to say like a seven-word phrase pretty easily. Yeah, if you can't speak a sentence without breathing, really having trouble, then you're going too hard. Okay. Well, I mentioned it would be very similar then for cycling, right? Probably. Yeah. But fortunately for you, I did some research for cycling.

Wow, you get your own little personal workout researcher here. This is great. Yeah, I like it. Great. So I'm putting some links in the chat if my thing will actually paste anything. Oh, I was pressing the wrong control key. You just sent all this stuff to your wife, via text. Well done. So let's, here, there's two things I have here. The first one is an article about cycling training zones.

So there's all these different training zones that you're in. And a lot of the terminology is used both in running and cycling, right? You have your, the big one that you want to think about is what are called tempo zones. And the tempo zone is just a fancy word for being in that zone right before you're crossing the threshold. and it's where your body is going to be trying to push that threshold further. Like the sweet spot, the most effective. Yeah, gotcha. Okay.

Right. And then the second link I did was an article I found where somebody was describing how they trained for a long distance run. And I thought that might be useful for anybody else also who was like how to put that knowledge into practice. Interesting. So in general, though, for anybody who's listening and doesn't feel like, like looking anything up. The idea is that first thing you want to do if you're ever training for a long distance,

like a marathon or a long bike ride, is you want to spend a lot of time doing what they call base training, which is for running, you know, it might be six to 12 weeks of base training where you're sort of just getting comfortable, getting out and working out three to four times a week.

For a lot of the examples of distances I'm going to give is in terms of running, because I don't cycle but um but um so like with running you would go out and try to work your way up over six to 12 weeks of getting up to running you know one day a week running about six miles um and then the other days just doing a few miles at a at an easy intensity and this is the easy part of your training it establishes a base it uh it gets your body used to doing this aerobic stuff and it helps you helps you strengthen your lungs and your and your muscles and everything. And you want to take your time because that strong base is going to help you. But after

that is when you when you would start your proper training, quote unquote. Like the ramping it up kind of thing. Yeah. And so the general template here is you want to have one long distance activity a week. All right. This is now this is not your highest intensity activity. This is your long distance activity it's it's uh the one where so for uh for a for a marathon you know that's the one where i would run 10 miles and then you remember when when i was on thursdays that used to be my long distance time or maybe it was to anyway you know sometimes before i would come on the show i'd be like oh i ran 18 miles today um that was my long distance day i wasn't running 18 miles every day um sure so so with a bike ride you know you might say what's the longest i can comfortably

ride because this long distance day should be an easy workout. You should not be pushing yourself too hard. You should be gaining confidence that you can go these long distances, but also pushing yourself not too hard because these are the times when you're saying this is, you know, you're just increasing the distance that you can go. You're practicing doing the long distances, right? But at the same time, you know, training your muscles. So I don't know. know how long that is for for you brian in particular for cycling in general but but whatever long distance you can comfortably go and you want to increase that by about 10 to 15 10% or so every week how long till the ms 150 what's the day it is uh may 20 or sorry June June 25th I was

gonna say you got uh you got no time left but I like seven weeks okay yes so that's not terrible That's not terrible. Definitely doable in this. Because you've already been doing stuff, right? Yeah, exactly. It's not like I'm starting today. So when you go out and you do a long bike ride, what does that look like for you? Yesterday was 12 miles.

Like a typical long bike ride, there's a 25 and a half mile one that I do regularly. Like I'll do that on the weekends because I want to, you know, want to do those on back-to-back days for the recovery and the practice of doing them one right after the other. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you might consider increasing the distance for that by like two to four miles every week. It sounds like a lot, but, and still only do it once a week. Still only do it once a week because you want your body to have a lot of time to recover. And I know last time I suggested maybe you should try doing two back-to-back because your actual race is two back-to-back days, right? Yeah.

But you consider this also. you might just have it once a week and increase the distance more so that by the time you get to the race day where you're going to do 75 miles in one day maybe in your training you've been going you win 100 miles two weeks before and or maybe that's too much

again I don't know what needs to be too much but uh but uh going like maybe the day before like a week or two before you went you were able to push yourself to go 80 miles, then the 75 miles won't seem as bad. Right, right. And you've also got the confidence that you were able to do that, you know? And I know an 80 mile ride that I've done, I've done half of, you know, just planning saying,

I'm going to do 40, Tina, meet me at the other end of this and I'll see you there. But I could do, I could do it as a loop. Go there and back, yeah. Go there and back, yeah. So that would be my suggestion. And again, the point is, don't, the easy, and I know this first. experience because I've done it the easiest thing to do is to accidentally get too overconfident and try to push yourself too hard right yeah no definitely don't you just want it

to be easy you want to have a good time while you're doing it and because not only is that properly training your muscles because if you go past that threshold that's a different type of workout that does a different thing you want to be under the threshold so that your body is used to being there and starts building those capillaries, adding mitochondria, doing all the things that it needs to do so that you can push that threshold further. Super interesting. Well, you got time, Brian, you got this. You got time.

And these two articles are great, by the way. I've just, you know, kind of scanned them. But talking about fueling and the three zones, you know, the... Yeah, there's a whole lot to endurance training that we could do. many, many episodes on. Right, right. No, this is great. And knowing heart rate, which is, you know, when I do the rides, I have the Apple Watch

on, I have it in outdoor cycle workout mode. So at a glance, I can look over and say, oh, I'm at 135 BPM, or maybe I want to go up to 140 or whatever. And that's kind of a good way to say, all right, that is my, that's my current threshold. I'm not going to go any higher than that. Yeah, there's a whole chunk in that article that's all about. how to use a heart rate monitor to calculate it. That's great.

So read through that article. It'll tell you like a specific day you need to go out and push yourself really hard, do this thing. You know, set your, you know, check your heart rate monitor at this time and then this time. And, you know, it'll tell you how to calculate it. And then it says, well, your zone that you want to be in is like some percentage below that maximum. Seeing that right there. Yeah. Less than 68% for recovery.

Endurance 69 to 83%. This is great. Yeah, love it. Very cool. There you go. I like it. A little bit of science today with Bobby. Science you didn't expect about running, or body things.

Body things. Body things with Bobby. It was car stuff and then workout stuff. Yeah. We're covering the wide range that people need, really. That's what we're doing. Bobby is always pleasure to have you here. tell people about all around science where they can get it and anything else you want to mention.

Yeah, all around science is our weekly science podcast, me and my co-host, Mora, do it. And we talk about science stuff, just whatever we feel like is in the news or that we're geeking out about and everything. It's pretty fun. We just did an episode that came out yesterday, which I can't remember what it was about, because I just had company over. So many things have happened. So much stuff is going on right now. I'm sure it was a great episode, and you should definitely listen to it. Well, I'm sure it was.

I've zero doubt about that. In the meantime, have a great rest of your week, and we'll see you soon. Bye now. Thanks, Bobby. Oh, we got them going. I love that. Yeah, we get that with Garrett. We got it with Bobby.

Perfect. My goal from now on is to always get it with whoever's on. Nice, yes. Quick email at the end of the show here today from Jeff Seier, wrote in from Grafton, Ontario. a.k.a. Bronco, I hope he's doing well. Say hi to Jen. Anyway. Oh, and he's from Canada. Canada! Here's what he says. Oh, I should play this. Send and receive email. This email address is the morning stream at gmail.com. The morning stream at gmail.com. Jeff says this. Guys, I just watched the first episode of the new Netflix show, the pentaverit. Pentaverit. Right? Pentabrit.

Yeah, pentavrit. That's how I think it's pronounced. Yeah. This is the new thing with Mike Myers. Yeah, the Mike Myers deal. He says, I don't know about the rest, but the first episode is one big love letter to Canada and especially Southern Ontario where I live. There are so many in jokes. I don't know how to tell, or I don't know how well this will play for any place else. I'm writing this because I know one or both of you will at least take a look and I'm wondering if the humor will carry across the border. Just an example, the Ken Scarborough character, Scarborough itself is jokes in Scarborough as a Toronto suburb, is based on Glenn Cochran, a CFT-O-Rour. reporter from when I was a kid. He even has the mannerisms and double entendres with the girls around him. And then he gives a link for that. Anyway, interested to hear your opinions, even if you think it's shit, L.O.L. Jeff Sire. Well, I love Canadian television, and so I'm probably going to like it, as my guess.

Yeah. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see, you know, is this a typical Mike Myers, lots of prosthetics and a funny voice? that sort of thing. Curious as to how much this is going to be. So is he in it or is he just producing writing? He's the star of it. He's the star of it, okay.

He's the, yeah. All right. I missed, I guess this completely missed my radar until he mentioned it. It just came out and I, you know, it's one of those things where Netflix sends you an email. Hey, uh,

something new we've added that you might like. It's the new Mike Myers comedy, the Pantavent. Oh, J.C. Calhoun says, Mike Myers plays like all the roles, I think. Oh, really? Is he almost every character in this thing?

He's good at that, so, hey. He is, yeah. Eight characters? You start out with Austin Powers. Then you add Dr. Evil, and then you add the fat Scottish guy. And then you add the fat Scottish guy. I can't remember. I can't remember his name.

What was he called? He ate. He always wanted to put things in his belly. Yeah. Fat bastard. That's it. all right well i'm going to check it out because it's mike meyers and i have a long fandom for that guy so yeah uh there you love guru uh skip that one that's bad movie yeah oh he does he plays eight

characters in this thing holy poop yeah it's a lot it's a lot of characters all those eight characters uh all right we're done for today uh would like to encourage more people to send those emails in the morning stream at gmail dot com and i also want to call out a patron today uh jared williams a long-time patron of the show. You've been called out, Jared. Yep. I pulled him out of the list at random, and I sent him a quick little private message,

said, hey, I'm going to talk about him on the show tomorrow. So hopefully he's listening today, and I just wanted to tell Jared, thanks for being a long-time supporter of the show. It means a lot to us. And if you go over there and sign up now, you might get mentioned on the show as well. Patreon.com slash TMS.

For everything else, per usual, it's frogpants.com slash TMS. Man, I have a loose monitor cable, and it's pissing me off. Oh, no. So is your monitor like going pink and black? Yeah, a little bit of, like if I wiggle it, I get it right where I want it. And the bit if I accidentally touch it, it'll either cut out all together or change colors.

I got to get a better, it's a display port, but I don't know if it's the cable or the port. Oh, that sucks. Hey, you got, you guys have a play of retro coming up tonight? We do. Tonight, 3.30 mountain time. We are going deep into all things. Well, we're starting with Dragonslayer, but we're moving our way up through all those real-time action, action real-time, whatever. the heck they call that mechanic,

kinds of games. Laser disk based games. Yeah, laser disc games. And that includes like a ton of stuff you probably never even heard of, but we're going to focus, obviously,

mostly on this and Space Ace and Dragons Layer 2 and many others. Was that Dana Plato thing, Night Trap? That wasn't, I know that was, that wasn't laser desk based, obviously because it is on there, though.

It's definitely on our list of stuff today. So I think, I think that's kind of the run, right? Like you start with the Laserdist stuff, and then it kind of crescendos or ends with Night Trap, sewer sharp. dark, all that.

There was one Western one where you shot a bunch of cowboys. I don't remember the name of it. Oh, yeah, where it was on your, right, right. It was like a draw. It was basically just draw. Yeah. Yeah, that was it. You were trying to beat the, it was never just shooting gallery people.

It was like, no, no, it was standoff. What's that called? It was the first person shooter that was only draw. Yeah. Well, there it is, Magdog McCree. That's it. Yeah. So anyway, we're going to have a great time with that.

So check that out, 330 Mountain Time. You got anything else? going on today? Yeah, I just posted all of the contestant submissions for what we called podcast Madlibs Week. This is where we gave each of our three teams a choice as to what kind of podcast they wanted to produce. And we ended up because they did this to themselves, people. We ended up with self-help comedy game show. So if you visit America's Next Stoppodcaster.com, you can listen to the three submissions that they were responsible.

for categorizing as self-help comedy game shows. Yeah, it was a hell of a combination and worth your time. Jury loved it, by the way. Jury said it was his favorite challenge. He's never liked anything more, I don't think. I think this is his favorite thing he's ever liked in the world. Right, exactly. He likes his mom, but does he like his mom as much as that episode?

Probably not. It's hard to say, yeah. Probably not. I mean, he didn't shave his head for the episode, so I guess that's, you know, one checkmark on that side. Good point. All right. We're out of here. Thank you all for listening. We'll be back tomorrow, your normal Wednesday shenanigans. So check us out then. Oh, and we may have, when do we, did we pick a date yet? I think Nicole's going to be back on a date this month or something. Oh, yeah. No, next month. June first. Okay. Yes. Early June. We're. We have time. We have time to break the news to Randy. Oh, yeah. I mean, we all knew it was, you know, possibly temporary. But she's out of the school year and we're going to get her back. So watch for that. For the summer, probably we'll lose her again.

I think once fall starts up again and kids are beaten down her door. Mrs. Spagnolo, how do I 3D print a gun, Miss Spag? Jimmy farted on me. Can I 3D print a gun with resin? With real bullets, please. Anyway, we'll let you know when that happens. Okay, we got to go, but we got to go with music, so go with music. music. Yes, are you ready, Scott? Yeah. Yeah, that's how the song begins. Andy says,

my birthday is Thursday, May the 12th, and I would love to hear a cover of Ballroom Blitz, if any exist. Oh, many, many exist. Years ago, I like how he says this, years ago, Wayne's World did a cover that was rocking, so I'm hoping there are other covers out there. Keep up the good work and rock on. Now, technically, Wayne's World didn't do the cover. Boy, Mike Myers, twice in one episode today. Weird. But it was Tia Carrere for the movie, Wainsworld. It wasn't even Mike Myers and Dana... Plato.

Carvey, Dana Plato. That's our second data of the show as well. Weird. That was weird. No, it was Tia Carrere doing it, obviously, for the movie. But there have been a ton of great covers of this song. This actually, here's a little bit about a trivia about Brian Ibbett, The very first vinyl LP I ever owned was Sweet's Desolation Boulevard, which had Ballroom Blitz.

It had the 16s. It had like all, you know, a majority of Sweet's greatest hits on this album. That's great. Do you still have it or no? I do. I do still have it. I should put it up in here, although right now I've got Pink Floyd the Wall and that's, you know. Yeah.

Well, you can't have any pudding if you don't eat your meat, so I get it. Exactly. Stand still, Ledy! All right, so let's hear a cover of Ballroom Blitz. But, you know, just Ballroom Blitz on its own. How about a cover that mixes Ballroom Blitz with Abba's Dancing Queen? Yes, it's time for another song from the Black Sweden. From their 2000 album, Gold, here's a mashup of Ballroom Blitz and Dancing Queen.

Are you ready, Bjorn? Aha. Benny, too. Okay. All right, fellows. Let's go! Friday night and the lights are low Looking out for a place to go
