This is the morning stream. Behave yourselves.

Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to TMS. It's Tuesday, May 31st, 2022. I'm Scott, and that's Brian. Hi, Brian. Hi, Scott. We've reached the end of May. We've almost fully achieved May 2020.

22. That's right. It's almost in the book, in the history books. Yeah, it's got to be not May anymore soon. Right. It's got to be not May. There you go. We're back. As you may have noticed, we had no show yesterday because it was a U.S. holiday. We did have a play date and had a lot of fun with friends and listeners and stuff. So we did. Big thanks everybody for hanging out. I don't think I've ever been imposter so many times during a play date, an among us play date. It felt like I was imposter like three or four times. and, you know, I panic. It's like, all right, oh, I've got this person kind of pinned down in this navigation. I'm going to kill him. And then I'm going to just slowly walk out. Yeah.

And just as I do it, like three people walk in and go, hey, Brian, I'm just walk past a dead body. I bet he killed him. This is the problem with 15 people in that tiny ship where, you know, especially early on, it's almost impossible not to get somewhat noticed. That's why the only time I was imposter. I did a crowd kill like a killed somebody in the middle to stack, stack, whatever they call it.

Yeah. And that, I got away with it. Nobody even voted for me. And that felt like almost the only way to do it in the early goings. Otherwise, if you're isolated, it's only a matter of seconds before somebody's there.

Exactly. Or what I'll do is like, okay, I'll kill him. There's a duct right there. I'll kill them, then I'll hop in the duct. And what I do is like, kill. They're dead. Now I'm like, stand on the duck. Okay, use, use.

What's the activation button? Which button am I doing? How do I get down? Come on, come, live the duck. It's hard. It's hard. It's hard. Especially in the moment.

It's just insane. But it was really fun and love playing with you guys. It was a blast. We'll do more of that. We should do more of that. Even though we only do it once a month. Rift tracks has a new thing that's similar to the what the dub game that we'll have to try sometimes.

Same devs even. Same, same. Is it? Oh, same developers, really? Okay. Yeah. They worked. They combined their powers and made a,

made a game. I'm sure those guys just sort of modified their code base and just made a version that's a little bit more geared to them. But yeah, it's pretty cool. I'd love to try it. And those guys reached out last time. It might be fun to poke them and just say, hey, can we... How about a film sack version? That'd be great.

Yeah, hey, about we little film sack. How about that? A little sack, new sacky version. Check out my sack. So look at this. Hey, Brian, speaking of things like sacks and bags full of goodies, I don't have a good transition. so we're just making us up.

You know, everybody out there making content. They're all looking for ways to monetize their content, you know. We, of course, went the dumbest possible way ever and did a monthly Patreon at very low prices. So we're dumb, but go ahead, take advantage of us anyway. It's fine. Exactly. We're in. The genies out of the bottle.

But here's the thing. Some people have really smart ideas. Some people have terrible ideas. I would like to give you one that I'm not sure how to define quite yet until we talk about it. There's this lady. I think it's the same lady. There's a lady who's sure. Something in the door.

I could actually, but we'll do the reveal on the article and, you know, then I can start writing. Yeah, then you got, yeah, then you got a whole, the whole world ahead of you after this. So here's the headline. This lady, this girl, makes $5,000 a day. So five grand a day per day. It's pretty good money. selling

under-boob sweat in jars under-boob sweat fantastic yeah you know when you got the you got the boobs right this is my understanding okay I'm not a lady

but let me you know from my my small breasts that have developed over years you're going to man's plain boob sweat is that what's happening yeah so you got you got your big you know sort of beefy fleshy

boob unit there and that's hanging that's kind of hanging over there and if you're out in the sun or a humid day or whatever you accumulate the sweat under the, under the boob, you know, where you're sweating there. And that's okay because humans need, you know, we sweat for a reason. It keeps us cool, cools down our core.

It's a reason we don't pant or have other methods to do this. So that's our way. Well, this lady, this enterprising young lady thought, you know, what if I put that boob sweat in a jar and sold that? And then I think I also found out this is the same, this is the same girl we talked about months ago that had the fart problem exactly well problem she was making a fortune selling jar farts yeah yeah but she had to stop because she had a what was her deal she like blew her guts out or something weird happened um she had to go to the hospital and they were like you can't

like she uh oh look at following a heart attack square back uh scare square back in january um yeah she's so basically she's also i mean she's kind of a reality show uh oh well what's the what would be the politically correct term to use uh hmm yeah i don't have a good one uh she's a she was on that 90 day fiance uh oh she's known for a thing that i've never seen okay yeah exactly so she was on a thing that nobody saw well nobody in our circles anyway uh then she starts selling fart jars and when she had a heart attack she said oh darn it okay i need something else and uh now i'm selling boob sweat yeah boob sweat yeah Yeah, boob sweat.

And she did really well with the fart in the jar thing. Made a bunch of money. Then she had that medical scare. So now she's all like, hello, I'm going to take some of this, some of this here sweat. I'm going to put it in a vial or a jar. I'm going to sell that to you. A vial is the correct term. Yeah.

Yeah. And then you at home have really no guarantee, you know. Let's say, I don't want to judge. I don't want to shame. I just want to say this. whoever it is out there that's like oh yeah man i got to get me some of her boob sweat yeah what do you do with it when you get it oh i don't think we want to know and i and i say uh maybe uh hold on all those addresses that you send the boobloat to because maybe those people should be put on some

sort of list oh yeah that email list is much more than an email list that's a like a future i don't know what kind of it is some good yeah yeah keep her eye on those people people. But like if you, okay, I'm just trying to think. First of all, how do you verify it? There's no government oversight here. There's no FDA approved method. It's actually sweat from her or sweat or not even sweat from her. Right. Or even sweat. What if it's a little bit of tap water with some table salt in it? And you're like, yeah, that's sweat. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't get this. Five grand a day. We're in the wrong business, Brian. Clearly we are. Yes. What do we do? What do we do to buy i sell boob sweat in a bottle the first thing that i'd like to do so wait though we got to answer

this question how do you and okay what would it what could we sell that would make five grand a day what part of our bodily excretions could we could we uh could we market do you think i think you know what scott you and i have a we have a skill we have a certain set of skills as i'm Mr. Neesons, as Liam at Neesons, would say. And what we're doing is right here. We do this very well.

This is what we bottle up. And we sell jokes in a jar. All right. Little vials. Look at this. I'll even, okay, I'll start the first one. All right. All right.

Go. All right. He's walking. He's doing. He's going places. He's got, he's checking stuff out. He's going. Hold on to your butts.

He's coming back. All right. He's in another room. There he is. He's come back. All right. He's putting headphones on. There he is.

Like wrapped. Wrapped in a sort of very protective material. Oh, look at that. Empty vial right here. The cork. Yeah. What are you going to put in there? Hey, is it doing for such?

Oh, yeah. Close it up. Really quick. Close it up. It's corked. Yep. All right. That's perfect.

Who wants to buy it? All right. First top bidder. Who's got the money? Who's got the cash? Let's get this going. The bidding starts at $400. Do I hear $500?

$500. Stealing it back up. This will go in a padded envelope and we'll go to the highest bidder that we get during the show today. All right. You heard it. This is it. We're starting our new thing. We got Tom Norm with $600.

Tom Norm with $600. I don't think that that's genuine. Wildly successful author, Tom Norm. He sent me a copy of his book. Check this out. Oh, I know. I have one too. Did you get it? Awesome. Look at this, guys. Thomas Norman, Night Tracer. Yes. I've done, we did a, I did an intro, a pre-news intro or something.

Yeah, we, that's right. Back when I think it had just hit presses or whatever, but I can't wait to dig in and read this. And he left a very nice note in the front thing for us. Yes, he really did. Really nice. Thank you, Tom, for that. Super cool of him to send us that. Tom Norman was born and currently lives in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He's been an avid superhero fan his entire life. This is the second book that he has written. I love it.

So anyway, congratulations. All right. Our bio-Cal, I think we have our first legitimate offer. $20 in a bank of toenail clippings. Oh. You got to go higher because Stephanie and you bet $20 or right now bet, wager or bid $20 already. 20 bucks.

You've got to go 21. Yep, 21 or higher. Because the toenial clippings aren't going to be enough of a, enough of an increase. Yeah. So, and then, oh, quadluse, 100 quatluse, those, that's a good exchange rate. We had, um, yeah. Yeah, it's not bad. Oh, 25, and I don't have to ship overseas too much potatoes.

$30 and a spice girl's drawing to Stephanie. Ooh. Wait, 30 bucks and she'll give you a spice girl's drawing? No, I think I need to, I need to do a drawing of spice girls.

I don't know. I feel like we're in a, I feel like we're breaking somebody's terms of service, but I don't know who's. Probably mine. I don't know. I have no idea. Well, anyway, good luck to everybody out there who can monetize your boob sweat and don't. Don't send any to me. I don't care who you are. I don't care who you are.

Is that that guy? It's that guy, isn't it? No, it was Ringo Starr, that video of him going, I'm warning you with peace and love. If you send me anything to get signed after this date, it will be tossed. You sound like that. It sounds like an impression of that guy with the penis thing. Yeah, I know.

Are you prepared to receive? Oh, I miss that guy. Hope he's doing all right. Yeah. Well, he's not. He's in jail, I think. Oh, really? Yeah, for some other thing, like some unrelated.

offense. He's in jail. I think we talked about this. I don't remember. My brain. My brain's a throbbing turd. He doesn't warn much further thought, sadly. No kidding. All right. How was Philadelphia? You went to Philadelphia. What happened? We went into Philadelphia very briefly. Basically, we got landed in Philadelphia, hopped in a rental car, and continued on our way across the border to New Jersey to Long Beach Island. Island, and, uh, dude, I am, I am in love with Long Beach Island. Like, this is, it's kind of got all the, the charm of, um, a typical kind of beach town, but you've got so much great food, like a lot of, um, uh, a lot of, um, fresh fish and scallops and, and soft shell crabs. I had a lot of soft shell crabs and and scallops and stuff like that.

Flounder, big up there. Oh, we were talking about flounder the other day. That's interesting. Yeah, and it's basically like off of the coast of New Jersey, off of the coast of like Manahawken, Camden, you go past Camden, New Jersey, continue to the coast, and you get to Long Beach Island. And we picked this place, or I picked this place,

because it was a mystery date trip. It was the first time I've tried to do a mystery date trip for Tina. And I have a couple clients out there. one of which is easily the nicest place to stay on the island which is a place called Gables Now these guys pride themselves in being the place to go

for a romantic weekend No question These guys are like flowers everywhere And a guy in the lobby playing music And a prefix gourmet meal And wine and all that sort of thing And so they very generously put us up for a couple nights and gave us a room. And it's funny, after working on their website for 12 years, 13 years, this is the first time I've actually ever seen the place in person.

Oh, wow. So they put us in a room. This room had to have been designed by MC Escher. It was really bizarre, but it was cool. So we were in one of the upper floors, actually the very top floor, kind of an attic, what would be an attic room, because we had. you know some some diagonal sloping uh ceilings sure that makes sense you're up high and a very cool black and white vintage looking wallpaper with um uh greek columns and flowers and stuff like that but when you're when you're laying in bed kind of looking at these and all these different angles

and surfaces it's like wait a bit does that one continue on to this part and this part continue on to that part, like it does look like it's very Escher. Ooh, that's cool. I love the idea of that. Sounds awesome. Yeah, in the middle of the room. So we've got a little separate bathroom off to the side with a sink and commode. And then, but in the center of the room itself is a bright red, claw foot bathtub.

Oh. Freestanding bathtub. Bright red. Like the, the, right red. Okay. Well, you know, I guess romantic. I don't know, whatever. Sounds like a place to sacrifice a human for a vampire.

It is, yes. And other than that, I mean, you know, there's no shower in the little tiny bathroom that we've got. There's no bath in there. So in the morning, when you're wanting to kind of freshen up and wash yourself, well, you're doing it right there in the middle of your room. Right in the middle of your room. Yeah. Now, this is the only room of theirs that has this.

There are other rooms. actually have like separate bathrooms with showers and stuff like that but um so it's kind of a bed and breakfast style thing it's very bed and breakfast yeah and and true bed and breakfast where you come down and there you get a cook to order gourmet meal this woman named is melda uh is melda that's amazing yeah she said okay well so our specialties today we've got an omelet with uh fed of cheese and artichoke we can also do pancakes and we've got this kind of of fruit if you want the fruit in the pancakes and da-da-da-da and french toast and bacon and sausage and so it's just damn so cool sounds really good oh my gosh so of course you know that's where we had all of our

breakfasts where it was there and um but yeah so i had to like not even curtains and we had a shower like so so the faucet sticks up right off the side of the bathtub sure and there are just two knobs a hot and cold, and then a little hangar tray that the shower handle sits in. It's like a shower wand. Yeah, got it. Yeah. And the only other movable item on there was a metal ball on the top of a, like a steel rod that could come up out of the top of this thing. So I'm thinking, oh, okay.

So you probably get the water going, and then you pull that ball up, and what it does is it causes suction, causes like a, what do they call those things, siphon thing to happen, and pull the water into the, into the deal. Like when you're sucking gas out of a gas tank. Exactly. Yes, exactly. I could never get that damn thing working. Never. So, Brian in the morning would basically be fill the bathroom. tub up with a little bit of water and then get in and then have the water running and do

like a like a all right soap soap up yeah fortunately fortunately I don't have to shampoo soap up and then just kind of like shoo shoo shoo push and throw in the water at myself oh wow okay and uh less than optimal but still you know you can get the job done sounds like you get the job done and it worked out just fine like you know for for for washing my, my head, I'd stick my head under the water faucet and that sort of thing. Yeah, yeah. But you know what? I've got to say, like the first morning, it was like, oh, this is so weird.

Okay, I'm doing it. Second morning, I was like, I fully embraced the bath and said, you know what, whatever. I'm just going to kind of soak in here. I had a towel curled up behind my head. I just kind of sat there with a cup of coffee. I went down and got a cup of coffee before I took my bath and just sat there with a cup of coffee, steam rising from the coffee steam rising from the bath just kind of like this is this is just fine yeah relax this is no no complaints whatsoever yeah i think i would want that that sounds

all right um the island uh also in addition to just like you said tons of uh restaurants has uh its share of maybe about a half dozen miniature golf courses oh did you do any of that do you guys we did we picked uh we picked one that was kind of like the uh here's what i like here's what i look for in mini golf courses scott uh you listen you can have all those bangly dangly things sitting over the course that uh that cause problems for your ball getting down to the hole yeah i like ones that have levels and stairs and drops and and hills you have to climb and that sort of thing that's what i look for if you could have a miniature golf course that doesn't have any windmills or Abraham Lincoln spreading his legs or anything like that,

just give me one that's got like hills and levels and that sort of thing. Where you got to like it, work with physics and gravity and, you know, actually, yeah, I'm with you on that. That to me seems more like the, there's an RNG when, when there's a windmill going fwhip, fwap, fwap, fwap, trying to stop you from going to a hole. I don't like that. I don't play. You can't really, you can't really, with the speed those things are going, you can't

really just time that. That's BS. So, uh, so we picked that one now. this was the day that apparently all the sandflies were out as well and even though we're on a miniature golf course far from the beach the sandflies were aggressive they gave us some cutter when we went and got our brightly colored ball and the the golf clubs the putters that are way too short for us yeah always they also said hey sandflies are pretty bad today here's here's some cutter you may want to just spread you know spray it on yourself which we did and I can't even imagine what it would look like what I'd look like right now if I didn't have if I wouldn't have put that stuff on but I am so what is it a cutter is it like I don't know I've never heard that term oh cutter is just like a spray like it's like uh not not raid it's like uh a deed free oh okay like mosquito repellent without the deed in it exactly okay okay off good good comparison oh

off yeah off's a good brand sure yeah um and that did do a pretty good job of keeping away however I'm like covered with little bites and it's like my god I've I've I've It is me saying, like me struggling to not scratch myself. It's almost like I need to be pinned down to a gurney with my leather strap. I hate that feeling. I did ask our medical crew what they recommend. Dr. Tolbert says hydrochortazone is the primary go-to-any-stronger needs a prescription. Yeah.

Did Dan add anything? Did Dan say? Since itch is carried on the same nerves as pain and temperature, a hair dryer on a low setting will also relieve itch acutely without scratching. Just don't burn yourself. Oh, interesting. Wait a minute. How would you?

I don't get that. How does that work? Is that just a thing that works? It's just a thing that works. Yeah, I mean, heat, because I noticed that with our shower, if I, we've got a shower wand as well. And if I would, when I was this morning, running the hot shower on the bug bites, it was like, Oh, that completely eliminates the it. Yeah, that'll eliminate.

I mean, in some ways, you're kind of micro-scratching it, I guess, by having water hit it. But it's not really a word, is it, micro-scratching? But anyway, yeah, no, that's you and my wife are the same. She came home from Mississippi, just covered in little bites from a million bugs. It's just that time of year. So, you know, you go to these coastal towns. Time for her to hit the hydrochortizone shop. No kidding.

And it's always at the beach. It's always like a million little, what you call him? She had deer flies. Those are the monster, like big old, unfortunately those you kind of feel when they land on you because they... Who needs those? You know, I know there's an ecosystem and we need all the bugs to do the thing. But do you need a fly named after a deer?

And sandflies suck because, and they literally suck, but they suck because they're smaller than mosquitoes. Like at least a mosquito, you're like, oh, yeah, there it is, bam, and you get it. Like, these sandflies, they are, they look like little tiny, um, fine point sharpy dots. Yeah. Like a ballpoint pin mark on your arm. And it's like, oh, man, these are frigging, aggressive. Yeah, annoying little things.

What is it about people? They suck something out of you or whatever? Or what's their deal? Yeah, I'm sure they do. They'd probably do the same thing, the mosquitoes, which is mix, like the, they put a saliva in your, um in your skin that like makes your blood uh thinner so that they can suck it up you i don't like that deal i don't like that at all that seems like a blood thinning agent that they put in i think i think that's right well i'm just glad you don't get the monkey pox from them no monkey pox i did

not see any monkey pox no and that's the thing about monkey pox you'll see it you'll yeah people show those those symptoms so look out world actually we got a monkey pox science segment coming to play to today. That's right. Yeah, we're going to be talking about the monkey pox. Yeah, looking forward to that. The, uh, also got to see former A&TP contestant Vincent Manucci.

Oh, Vincent Manucci. Talked about a couple podcasts that he, like he basically is reviving a podcast that he, he and I used to work on together, called Lyrics Undercover. Yeah. It's coming back. Nice. Very nice. You're ready for that. Yeah. And an indie music podcast that we're talking about. So, um, you know,

That's always a great thing. You get a couple podcasters together. Yeah, for sure. Did you end up, you didn't see Monica while you were there? I take it. Didn't see Monica. She's too far south. She was the first person I reached out to when I was planning the trip.

I said, hey, how far are you from LBI and Manna Hocken and that part of the country? He's like, oh, too far to make it work, I think is the way she said it. I gotcha. Well, we met her. I mean, we did get to meet her at BlissCon a couple times. I met her a couple times at a couple BlizzConns and stuff. She's great. And I did, I did get a cheese steak, Whizwit. Oh, you did?

I'm sorry, yeah, Wizzwit. And it was great. Chicky and Peets did not make it to Jim South Street, which would have been my go-to. But Chris Brown, who's from that area, said, ah, hit up Chickie and Peets at the airport. They're, you know, maybe not quite as good as anything you'll get on South Street, but she'll get a very good cheese steak there and we did that sounds amazing and it was a good like you know you're looking for that authenticity right did it do that was very authentic it was

yeah it was great okay so it's just what we needed and felt like I accomplished like I achieved cheese cheese steak cheese you achieved it that's good I cheezed it I get an achievement so check this out I this is kind of a very short but weird story yeah Kim and I while you were gone, we're just hunting around for a place to eat. We were on a date and we're like, you know what? Where do you want to go? Let's go find something, you know, cool. So we found this place that had just opened, or we thought had just opened, called Super Chicks Chicken and Custard.

And we kept hearing all these things about it. Like, oh, this place is amazing. You have to go. You have to go. And I'm like, yeah, there's a million chicken places. Like, everybody thinks they're the best. I don't know what to tell you. Anyway, we're driving by there and we see there's people in it.

We're like, oh, it's open. Okay, let's go in there. Pull in, walk up to the door, a guy whose name I now know as George says, hi, you know, we actually don't open until Monday, till the holiday. And I'm like, oh, well, no problem. It looks like you guys are just training or something. And he goes, yeah, it's like a friends and family and then also kind of a big train run through before we do our full opening on Monday.

So they had, you know, all the employees were there, plus their families could come. Not even like a soft opening. It's just like a, you know, friends and family. Friends and family, yeah, just purely like. hey we're celebrating getting ready for this and our employees families can come and I didn't know this but they're all they're eating for free um so we're like okay well no problem he looks at us he goes you know what though I like how you I like to look yeah oh nice he goes just why don't you come in here go ahead and go we're like really sure and he goes yeah now we didn't

know that it was free food we went in there thinking oh well we're gonna pay for whatever we yeah we were prepared to pay and then we started pulling money out the girls like oh no no this is all this is all free for whoever you're here with and we're like yeah whoever we're here with we're here with us oh yeah we're friends of uh chris yeah exactly so they make these really great you know they're clearly aiming for the throat of things like you know the chick flas and the canes and the people like that they want they want to kick their butts um anyway so we go in there we eat and we decided to eat outside because it was kind of nice that day and uh george we start to notice he's turning some people away

because a whole bunch of people are doing like we did. They see it and they're just coming up to see if they can go in. And he's turning some of them away, but he's letting others in. And so I start to kind of observe like, all right, how is he making determinations? And he seems to be just doing it off of just impression. Really? Like, okay, like you.

You come in. Like he's velvet roping the chicken sandwiches. Yeah, kind of, yeah. And then finally, when things chill out a little bit, he comes and sit by us and he says, how are you folks doing? We're like, oh, he's nice. and um and uh george or horay uh he's a he was a Hispanic dude he goes he goes uh um what do you say i can't remember how he said it basically though he is like a huge big wig with this with this food group that owns this place so he is as soon as he was done here he was flying to tennessee to

open another one right after that down to Mississippi to open another one then coming back here to open a new one in American Fork, like he's some big shot and goes to all these openings to make sure everything's good and was the nicest dude. Just the nicest guy. We had this big long conversation with him. And I was tempted to

say, dude, how come you let us and this little family here and that one guy? Why'd you let them in, but not that they all looked the same to me. I wanted to ask him that so bad because I just felt like there was something there. How did you decide? Yeah. Like there's some trick or he just has some intuition.

But anyway, it was great, and I just want to recommend them. Super Chicks is awesome, and they're open there now, the one out here. I'm looking at the page right now. It looks amazing. Yeah, they're all over the place, none in Colorado, but Texas, Alabama. Oh, I asked for you. I asked for you. I said, any plans for Denver or Colorado says, we're working on it, we're working on it, he says.

Okay, all right. So whether or not they get it done, I don't know. We'll see what happens. They've got a lot of coming soons on their site. I imagine those have to open before they'll say. oh, well, let's try Arvada. Yeah, yeah. And if the guy's got, you know, if he's got the touch, maybe he did, like TVZGON suggests,

he smelled the free publicity. Maybe he had a sense that somehow you and I would talk to 50,000 people today, and we would say, go to Super Chicks, chicken, and custard. I didn't get to have the custard because the line for custard was a mile long, so we didn't do the custard, but I had a lovely chicken sandwich. You could do that in the same different lines. I mean, I could have. The problem is we didn't know what was going on at first.

So we just got the chicken and then realized what happened. Although we did make some kids' day. We paid him like $15 tip because we had some cash. Wow. And which was less than we would have paid to eat there. Of course, yeah, but still, holy cow. He made this kid's life. And he was super nice, so he deserved it.

Thanks. Thanks, mister. I'm going to go spend it all on hookers and blow. Anyway, it was great. I really enjoyed it. And so George, aka Jorge, if you're listening, I doubt he is. I explain the network from what we do. but he's a busy man.

You were really nice, so thanks for that. Oh, and we also wanted to a quick shout out. We went to a place called Eclares. It's a French bakery bistro thingy in Old Saltler and Sandy, where I grew up, drove out there, and they made Bosnian breakfast, which I've never had before. And what it was? Bosnian breakfast. Philo dough with a bunch of beef in it, some sort of cheese cream, feta thing,

and then spinach in there, flaky crust on there. about died it was so good freaking fantastic it's called eclair and uh it reminded me of claire i know claire she's getting all excited it was all about you there um and they also gave what kim kim got this thing called a turkish coffee now i've never tried this sure yeah i have i have came in a i have came in a and it always served in one of these really ornate brass very fancy yeah yeah yeah and they cook it in in hot sand yeah not cooking it It's brew it. Oh, really? A hot sand.

Yeah, it's like I should say brew, not cook, but they have this set up. So this sand, which is apparently from that part of the world, is superheated sand. And it, I mean, it freaked me because I'm like, I don't want sand in my food. You know, like that's my first thought. But it's an old tradition, and they have it all set up there. And this thing brews right in the sand. And then it, and then you take it out and you got your thing and whatever. And you're supposed to go, you know, no, no creamer or anything.

I'm not really a coffee guy, so I tasted it, and it was okay. Not really my jam, but it was very unique and interesting. But anyway, if they do that Bosnian breakfast thing and you're out that direction, do it. If you just want a good Eclare, like French style, not over-sweetened, do that. And this Egyptian family came in that had reservations, nicest family I ever met. I want to be those people. They were so nice. And it was just a really lovely time.

So look at that. We got lovely time with Kim and I. here on our little homestead here. Brian out there, Philadelphia and beyond. Out of East. Yeah, hanging out with Manucci. What else can you ask for, really? Yeah, nothing, nothing else.

Nothing else. There was a great holiday weekend all around. Except maybe this. It's time for some news brought to you by. Film sack, mining the depths of film entertainment for all mankind since 2009. I thought 2007, 2009? Nine? Oh, yeah. October, and our brand new, I guess you'd know more than, more than anybody.

And our brand new episode about The Italian Job, the show is now crowdfunded. So, check out your favorite movie podcast right now. Go to FilmSack.com for all the details. That's right. Yeah, let's see. October 09, we did, what was our first movie? Oh, Krull. Kroll.

Kroll was our first movie. Yeah. May it ever rain. You know, there is a day somewhere, somewhere in the future where we were rewere, we rewerewe, watch Kroll and do a fresh episode about it. Just for fun. Yeah, October 30th. 30th? Wow, day before Halloween. Look at us. Yeah. Scary. Scary. All right. Let's read this story here. An asteroid, the size of 350 giraffes. It's going to fly past Earth. Such a weird measurement. That's why I love it. Okay, 350 giraffes. Sure, now I can completely visualize that.

Yeah, it's 100% why I grabbed this article. because, okay, a giant, a big asteroid. How big is it? Well, so many tons or, you know, whatever, they'll get megatons or something. But no. Didn't we used to say Volkswagen's like, oh, yeah, it's about the size of 35 Volkswagen. Yeah. Oh, that I can visualize for whatever reason.

Back when the bug was like, the beetle was like the same size all the time and never really changed. It became kind of a weird unit of measurement. I guess giraffes are a thing. I don't know. It's just, they're not, they're not. they're long but they're not a lot of mass so it's a weird thing to say like it's there's not a cubic a cubic mass of giraffes you know it's like you're you're thinking of like how they would all fit if you there's no barrel of giraffe's game to play where it's like oh i can hook on the little

giraffe one to the next yeah it's such a bizarre it's very weird right yeah i barely i barely can get my head around why they would choose this and it probably is just being a dumb article but here's some other info I was supposed to pass over on the 27th I don't know if I heard anything about that so no I didn't I didn't hear about it we were supposed to do this I know there was a meteor shower last night and I completely forgotten didn't didn't go out and look but uh was it supposed to be visible for us here yeah yeah I was bummed on that blood moon night because we had clouds and I couldn't see anything oh really oh that was so cool we were able to see that that was just amazing I've seen one before but it was years ago it's rare right how often is it

happen it's like every that I don't know whatever it is I'll be dead by the next time there's another one no I don't think so oh I hope not it's a little more

it's a little less rare than once in a lifetime I'm good makes me happy to hear that it says asteroids fly past earth on a regular basis asteroid 7335 which is this one is bigger than any of them

measuring 1.1 miles or 5,900 feet across so not see those are measurements we can understand right there it's got nothing to do with your day that we can Right.

So then it goes on to say, for comparison, it's four times larger than the Empire State Building and more than twice as large as Burjee Califa. The Birch Caliphah. Which is that Dubai thing. The tower, right, exactly, yeah. Yeah, that big gnarly one with the curves on it and stuff. That's not the one that Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones climbed in entrapment, right? No. That's a different one.

That's a different one. I think it wasn't. Which Clef is the one, Tom Cruise climbed in one of the, yeah, Mission Impossible, four or three or something, yes. Four, I think. Well, the one with Jeremy Brenner, whichever one that was. Yeah, yeah. Like I see did two. Anyway, let's see.

How many Wiz Khalifah's is that? That is a, well, does Wiz Khalifa's neck, how far does it go? Because I could compare it to a giraffe. All right. This thing was discovered, by the way, on May 1st, 1989. Oh, wow. We've been waiting for this one for a while. Yep.

This is one of 2,265 space rocks that NASA has labeled as potentially hazardous, so they keep their eye on these things, even when they're super far away. This one just finally got its time to pass us over. Let's see. To be considered potentially hazardous, an asteroid has to be at least 460 feet across and come within 4.6 million miles of Earth and its orbit around the sun. This may sound close on a cosmic scale, but the distance is more than, and 19 times farther away than the moon is from the earth.

But still, they got to, you know, they got to keep your eye on this stuff. You can have an Armageddon event where we've got to send. Right, exactly. Well, I guess we can't send him anymore. But somebody can go up there and take care of it. Does it kind of worry you that NASA is watching almost 2,500 space rocks that they consider to be potentially hazardous?

Yeah, that's a lot more than I'm a lot. I'm a little surprised at the number. I kind of thought that maybe we had two or three, you know? Yeah, no, we've got the 2,265 asteroids that are like, yeah, that could kill us at some point. Do you think anybody at NASA's like, all right, hey, keep your eyes open, 7335 coming on the 27th. Boy, that sure looks like a lot of giraffes.

How many, hey, Bill, how many giraffes would you estimate that thing to be? Yeah, what do you think? That's about 350, I think? It's about 350? How many IKEA Billy bookcases would you say that asteroid is? How many gummy worms do you suppose he could fit in that? Like just what random thing do you want to measure it with? So stupid.

How many Alanis Morset CDs do you think you could fit in that thing? Right. And the answer is one. Just kidding. A jagged little rock. Jagged little rock. All right. Our bitterest is I often say for no reason.

Yes. I know. Final story that we have time for here. Let's do this one about dolphins and how science has shown or shown that dolphins recognize friends by tasting their pee. Oh, good. All right. Let the titles about dolphin pee commence.

Sorry, go ahead. That's smart, that intelligence pedestal that we've been putting dolphins on for years. I think we can finally take them off of it. Yeah, we can finally kick that thing out from underneath them. Scientists found this in what they're calling a wild experiment. Scientists were called anecdotes of dolphins swimming through excrement or excretion plumes. That's how they put it. That's piss to you and me, says this vice article.

Excretion plumes. Yeah, excretion plume. So the next time someone to accuse you. I want Ernie Hudson to say that. Excretion plumes. If anyone ever pees in a pool, you can say, ah, this kid made an excretion plume. Please keep your excretion plumes out of our pool.

That's right. That's right. We don't swim in your toilet or however that old phrase went. Anyway, they do this with their mouths open because they can't smell. They have their or factory bulb. is the thing that they do with their mouth. And, you know, even humans, our mouths have a lot to do with what we smell. Sure.

And what we smell has a lot to do with our mouth. Anyway, after collecting samples from dolphins in Lagoon's in Bermuda, Hawaii, other places like that, which have been trained to give urine health assessments. They put the pee in a little cup at the end of a very long pole, poured it in front of the dolphin while playing, or sorry, while playing the whistle of another dolphin. and researchers measured how the dolphin sampled the pea, opening their mouths and running their tongue along the water.

And if the, let's see, if the dolphin's response has changed when the pee came from a familiar or unfamiliar dolphin, the upshot is they could recognize friends. So this would be like me and you hanging out, and I'm like, if I don't quite recognize you, Brian. That's right. It's like, oh, I think Scott was through, came through here a minute ago. Yeah, I think he's at the deep end of the pool down here somewhere with me.

pretty gross but you know animals are weird they don't care i was thinking about this yesterday the dogs go out and they smell each other's poo and they don't even they don't even flinch it's just like if we did this like imagine if we did that humans uh-huh uh-huh walking around going hey hold on a second getting all up to someone's butt or whatever like what why i mean i understand why animals do it but don't i don't want to do it we've evolved past this no no exactly right exactly celebrate that we've evolved past it everybody and don't Don't inhale each other's excrement plumes. All right.

That's it for your news for the day. We're going to come back here in a minute with Bill Duran from Punishpropes.com. That'll be fun. And after that, some science with Bobby. We're going to talk a little bit about all this hubbub about the monkey pox. How scary is it? Should it be? What's the deal?

How many people have it, all that? Lock your hide your kids, hide your wife because the monkey pox is getting them all out there. So watch for that. coming up after this song break from Brian David. Enjoy the excretion plume of music that I'm about to swim you all through. This is a band called Deep Throat Choir. And they have a brand new EP, which is coming out on June 10th, courtesy of Bella Union.

Big thanks to them for sending this over. This is actually really, really good. They're like, how many, let's see, how many of them are there in this band? Is it going to give me a number? do I have to count, count heads. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, twelve, thirteen. It's like fifteen, fifteen, fifteen people in the deep throat choir. It's like the osmans or some shit.

That's crazy. Kind of, yeah, exactly. This is, uh, this is great. Basically, uh, amplifies the notion that nothing good happens after three a.m. And that's what the song is titled, three a.m. Here is deep throat choir. I went to the party You would not have liked it

You would have said it was cheesy I wish that you could have seen me Dancing like I I don't care I stay at the party as long as I stayed at the party as long as I wanted long after the memory hit me Tell me, nothing good happens after 3 a.m. All of my friends that you never cared for

We're gonna talk about everything I ever love I'm gonna play all of the songs from before I met you All of the songs They'll be here after you're gone I stayed at the party As long as I wanted Long after the memory hit me How you used to tell me

Nothing good happens after Let's take another look at Michelle without makeup, and now with makeup. Wow, that's the maxy look. Oh, hello. The morning stream. What are you going to do? Charge me with smoking? All right, we're back.

Mail me once again with who that was. That was a band called the Deep Throat Choir from an EP coming out a week from Friday called 3 a.m. Coming on June 10th, that is the title track, 3 a.m. from Deep Throat Choir. Very, very nice. Yes. You played a song last week that I ended up falling in love with and playing over and over. Now I can't remember what the name of it was. Is it a cover or an original?

It was an original. It's one of the Indies and the Middles. Oh, also the cover. Halfway by Flipturn or? what's the use, the real use, by phones with cords? That's the one. Very good. Yeah.

If you guys don't, don't skip music, what I'm saying. No, don't do it. Okay. You'll regret it. If you're tempted, don't, don't freaking do it. All right. Bill. Yes.

Where's Bill? Bill. Bill. Bill. Hey, Bill. We don't have Bill. Where's Bill? When's Bill coming in?

I'm looking for Bill. Your bat caves open there, Bill. Oh, there's Bill. Bill Duran joining us from Punish Props.com and doing so from the beautiful part of this country known as the Pacific Northwest, and he does it every Tuesday where we talk about making stuff

and I don't know, expanding your skill sets, learning a little something new. Bill, welcome back. Hello, good to be here. Hey, man. It is lovely here in the Pacific Northwest. I'll bet it is.

You got some sun maybe a little? There is a little sun today. Give it a try. Yeah, give it a shot. See what you think. Might get some vitamin D out of that deal. Do people in Seattle get scared when they see the sun sometimes? Just nervous.

Yeah, you're not scared, but a little nerve. What is that giant glowing orb? I might burn. Exactly. Well, it's good to have you here, and I always look forward to what you bring. So what is going on today? What do you want to share with this? Well, I thought I'd try something a little something from a tiny game called Skyrim.

Sky. Oh, weird. You never do any of the Skyrim. I still have so many Skyrim props I want to make. Yeah. And I made another one. Oh, my gosh. So this one's a little different. It isn't a weapon for armor. Yeah.

I know. I made one of the pub signs. What? There are many pubs in Skyrim. There's the ragged flagon. There's the being. Winking Skever. Solitude. My favorite.

Yeah. And they have these really fun ornate signs. They all have different logos. So we made one. We made the winking skeever sign. It's got an image of a ski. Kind of looks like a giant rat. Yeah, that's what you want.

Do we lose them? Bill, you there? Yeah, he was getting choppy there for a few minutes. Yeah. Bill, you there? My back. Oh, you're back. You're back.

You got a little choppy for a second. I think you're good now. All right. All right. All up and down lately. Yeah. I think you got some, that's what it sounds like. Sounds like you got some weird ISP things.

But anyway, so why did you pick that in or that tavern in particular? Just happens to be my favorite solitude is my favorite in Skyron. Yeah, I love it that too, big fan. Plus, it's early, right? You get in there like, I don't know, I feel like. You can. You can run straight there if you're brave. Yeah.

You'll die a lot, though. It's been my experience. Most of that I'll take the river and then sometimes get eaten by a giant. crab or some horrible turtle creature but yeah. I did not last long enough in that game to know what either of you were talking about. Right. Found a cave very

maybe this isn't the game for me. Sure, sure. It's good though. So the sign I made out of genuine wood looking like a nilo over here. My wood. What kind of, when you say genuine, what wood? What from what tree?

I got really cheap panels from the home center pine this is not something that Mark would make a piece of furniture but I figure

the sign's going to be all beat up and painted or they spend in like $80 and walnut on this thing sure but it's real wood and you can

instead of using something like pot or foam add a real genuine brain texture to it I really that heavy texture is it sappy because I always worry about that

like having a Like, I don't know, you cut into it and there's like a weird. I just think of those trees as sappy since we have so many of them here. Is that not a problem, I guess, once they treat it and cut it? I got my particular piece of pond sappy. Yeah. They cut. Yeah.

It's just sappy and more of it like a rom-com kind of way. Yeah, right. It'd be like a Catherine Hegel movie? Yeah, yeah. 28 dresses now. That's the sequel. That's right, exactly. Uh, cool. So, sorry, go ahead.

Oh, so the fun part, the really fun part, to follow this thing out, I use my new C&C router. I got a Shepoko 4 from Carbide 3D controlled trim, and you put a bit in it to cut out the different things you want to do. Uh, so I modeled the entire piece in, in 360, fusion to also cutting path and see me. He's so choppy right now. Hold on a sec. You're so choppy. Does that new C&C machine use Wi-Fi? Yeah. In some reason, you are so chopp right now. Yeah, it's really choppy.

Do it change our region or something, Scott? I did once, but it didn't help. Let me try. No, I think this is totally on my end. Let me try the, let me do West real quick. Let's just see what we get on the west side of the country. Okay, Bill, say something now. Hello.

It's even worse. Weird. Yeah, it's not, we'll see if it's, It may, sometimes it takes a minute, so we'll see what happens. Oh, look at this. He's got, so wait, these little engravings, does your C&C just do that? Like the text and the detail work around that? So you got to know how to tell it to do that, and you have to know which stick bit to use.

But when it's out, it'd be cool how it can just go and engrave the text like that. Wow. That's actually, I didn't expect it to be this detailed. I mean, I'm looking at your 3D view, so I've yet to see the finished process. product, but I didn't realize a CNC could do that kind of stuff. I didn't know that. I don't know why I didn't know that. I thought it was just good at cutting, like, you know, big edges and curves and, you know,

shapes and whatever that would be harder to do with a more traditional saw or whatever. But that's really rad. Yeah. And I'm really just learning capable of and learning how to make it bend to my will. Yeah. But it's fun. I'm getting super excited about what else I can. can make with that machine. That's awesome. I love that you have to bend it to your will.

I do. I do. It's the thing. It'll do exactly what you tell it to do. And sometimes that's pretty catastrophic adults. Yeah. Sometimes the circumstances are, yeah, they go places. You really have to learn what it is you're telling the machine. What is the stuff you're painting on it? Is that just paint? What's the white? So to age it, before that, we aged it a little bit. I used a wire wheel to really rough up the texture, the wood grain texture, that did a lot of work. And then I brushed out a mixture of vinegar and steel wool that ages the wood that actually sort of chemically ages it. And then we did the painting.

That's just the acrylic paint, but I put it down to some of that wood grain color popping through, which is really nice. Yeah, that looks really cool. So why is vinegar age things? Is that just an effect or does it actually? Does it actually prematurely age that? I'm not sure. And I was also told that if I'd use tea as well, the tannins in the tea would have helped. But that's a whole thing.

It can be experimented with prematurely or artificially aging wood to make it look old. It's a pretty common thing. I thought I just looked up on the internet and there's a bunch of different techniques. I want this thing on my door. It's great. It's hanging up right behind me. I'm looking at it right now. And it looks sharp.

it looks real good you should make uh all of them now now now your job is to make a a tavern placard for every tavern in the game that's your job i don't know if anyone told you that's what you have to do you have to do that now okay i'm sure there's a comment on the video that recommended probably yeah i feel like that's what i was as i was saying it i realized i sounded like a youtube commenter as i was saying yeah yeah it was pretty good uh all right as usual uh very cool stuff check it out punish props dot com and of course the uh youtube channel will have But there, what is your bonus link of the week? What are you doing there?

I got it on here. So James Bruton, who's called X-R-R-I think it's just called James. He makes cool Arduino-powered robot printing and stuff, and he built an Omni-Wil bicycle. The front wheel is an auto. Oh, wow. What the heck? Like skateboard wheel wheels, okay.

Oh, weird. 20 degrees, the front wheel is 90 to what you think it ought to be. Wacky. Yeah, that is wacky. That's wild. So, yeah, he steers sideways. Oh, that is crazy. Oh, that's so weird.

How is the, oh, because those are wheels. Yeah. And they've got a, and it's got a motor in there that'll keep you stable. Wait a minute. Has he done one of these with a wheel made of shoes, it looks like? Yes. What? Are you kidding me?

That's really. Oh, my God. This is amazing. I mean, is it... Hmm. It looks like he's grinding a plastic wheel down to the nub if you didn't know those weren't wheels. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah. It's like super novel. I don't think Trek is going to be putting out of these things, but it's still a really neat idea. It is cool. He seems to be a little wobbly on it, just a little. That's the thing. It feels like it'd be less stable because if that thing is,

it turns on its own so easily. That's bizarre. Very weird. Very weird indeed. Go check that out. That's, of course, James Bruton on YouTube as well. And as always, Punish Props is the place to go check out, including PunishProps.com. Bill, have a great week. May your Wi-Fi Lord smile upon you in the future.

See you later, guys. Bye now. See you. Yeah, his internet was poop. Yeah, it's unfortunate. Poopoo-pooh. Poopi internet. Yeah, but we pushed through.

That's what we do. We did, exactly. Man, you know, next thing for me is a CNC machine. Those things look so damn cool. Aren't they cool? My brother-in-law, Steve, has one. Who might be listening right now. Hi, Steve.

Which 3D printer do I have to move to put a CNC machine? Right. Somebody tell Brian how to do that. All right. We're going to get right into this here. Hey, look who it is. It's Bobby Frankenberger with his hair pulled back. Yeah.

Hubba, hubba. Aerodynamic. Yeah. You could go into a wind tunnel and no one, you wouldn't, I don't know, you'd be aerodynamic. Yeah, you just have any resistance. No one could resist you in a wind tunnel. No one could, not even the wind. Hey, Bill, Bobby, what's going to your other bee, the Tuesday bees?

The Tuesday B's. We've really got to split these two up. We can't, we can't keep. The B boys. The Bobby and the Bills, it's killing me. But it's good to have you here. How the heck are you? I'm doing great.

Are you really, you're not a, You're not a Robert, right? Like if there's not... Funny story. Funny story. On my birth certificate, it says Robert. So I am a Robert, but the only reason I'm named Robert is because my mother in her naive youth thought that, you know, Bobby is like a nickname for Robert, right? Yeah.

And she thought that you aren't allowed to put a nickname on the birth certificate. Oh, right. So she knew you, she wanted you to be a Bob. but she thought well they won't allow me to do right right she she thought there were like rules about that or something you had to put so so you know it's a cute story about my mom I guess oh that's all right when my daughter I'm that's why I still go by Bobby and and and because that's my name when my daughter was born at like 3 a.m. we were so tired and bleary-eyed that we put the certificate down that her name was Taylor spelled like the guy that fixes your suits oh with an eye basically. Yeah, T-A-I-L-R, which is totally incorrect. And I can't remember, it cost me like another $75 or something to change it. Oh, so it's now $15.

Yeah, I thought it was just $15. No, it's more now. Turns out it's more. By the way, you know what else is more? Go into the DMV and getting your license renewed. Last time I did that, $20. The other day, $52. Wow.

Yeah. And then a bunch of Canadians were like quit whining. That's like $500 up here is what we have to pay. So I was like, okay. All right. Holy hell. I know. It's a little free health care, but no free.

I was about to say that's still cheaper than getting like a tooth removed. That is true. Yeah. I think I'd take the expensive license versus the expensive health care. Well, anyway, so speaking to health care, Bobby, there's a lot of talk right now about a thing called monkey pox going around, virally infected thing. It's the new hot thing. Yeah. All the kids are talking about.

But I don't think a lot of people know what the hell they're talking about. I've seen photos of people with it. It's a very pronounced sort of visual symptomatic type thing. Don't look good. Does not look good at all. And would probably convince a whole lot of anti-maskers to actually wear masks. I've always felt like the invisibility of COVID has been a problem. Yeah.

That when things become visible. If COVID looked like monkeypox, then we probably would have had quite a bit more adoption. Oh, it would have changed everything. We'd be like the Asians who've already been smart about this for 100 years. But anyway, I don't think a lot of people, including myself, and I don't want to speak for Brian, but I'm guessing he probably knows about as much as I do about it. What is the monkey pox? How do you get it?

And who's going to stop the monkeys from their pox, their poxing? The poxing? Well, it's funny that you mentioned masks and COVID, but if, so first of all, monkey pox is not a respiratory virus. So the masks wouldn't probably really help that much anyway. But it's what is monkey pox? It's a pox virus. It's actually specifically an orthopox virus. But there's a whole family of pox viruses like chicken pox and small pox and all the viruses with pox in the name.

And the one thing that they all share in common is that they create pox on your skin. They create lesions depending on the virus you get. It varies in severity of how many, what kind of lesions you get. But with monkeypox, they're the little round sores on your skin. And it ranges from, some people will just get a few. Some people will get thousands. And so it really just depends. And it's a virus that's endemic to central and West Africa.

Endemic means that that's where it just persists. It's always there. There is a vaccine for this, right? There is a vaccine. Yeah. And I'll get to the vaccine in a minute because we have a vaccine, but we're not really administering it for reasons. Right. There are good reasons why we're not administering it. But it is being administered in small amounts and very localized areas where outbreaks have been identified in the U.S. But anyway, I'll get to that. Okay. Um, but, uh, yes, the short answer is yes, there's a vaccine. Yeah.

It's supposed to be... It comes from rodents. It exists in small animals. Oh, not monkey. How come they call it monkey pox? I always, I hate that. It should be, but a monkey did it. Right.

Yeah. Well, it can go, it can go to monkeys. It can, it can be transferred to monkeys and just like any other small animals, but they, like I said, they think that rodents are the reservoir for it, where it's, where it's sustained. Okay. But the reason it's called monkeypox is because, it was first identified in monkeys back in like 1958 in Denmark

in a lab. And so they just called it monkey pox because back then they didn't care as much about technical fancy names. Yeah, they don't get into that back then. It's a pox virus and it's in the monkeys so there you go.

The monkey seems to have it. What do you want to call it? I don't know. Monkey pox? It's coming from the monkeys, sir. Sure. Well, yeah. So, I mean, is it a, what is the, is it a deadly disease? Is it disfiguring in the long run? That's what people want to know, right, is how worried should we be about this? Yeah. We're just finishing up, hopefully, with COVID here very soon. And the last thing we want is another viral outbreak that's going to cause us a bunch of problems. So that's probably why you've been seeing a bunch of headlines about it. because it made its way over to the U.S.

But the short answer, and then we'll get into some of the details, and I can answer any questions that you've got, hopefully. But the short answer is the risk of it becoming some sort of epidemic or even pandemic is very low. It's the risk to the general population. The CDC has made multiple statements saying that they consider the risk to be incredibly low. Um, but, uh, but you know, it's, there is a risk of people getting it in those areas, but they've been, they've been identified. There are three cases in the, in, in Utah right now. Um, and they don't know where they came from or, you know, how they, they're, they're working on that, I guess, obviously probably travel and who knows, like, how that works.

I think there's only, as of this morning, as of the spreadsheet that I, uh, of all confirmed cases that I looked at this morning, um, there was only two in Utah. Oh, two. I heard three. Okay. That's good. But they are in Utah, and there are another two in Denver, Brian. Uh-oh. There's a total of 15 confirmed cases in the United States right now. Huh. And, again, as of this morning when I was updating numbers. But that, again, it's not likely to spread.

So one of the reasons why it's not likely to spread really super far is because well first of all it's a very visible disease right yeah you can see when people have it um it does have a long incubation period um an incubation period for those who don't know is just the time from when you are exposed to when you will typically start showing symptoms yeah um the incubation period is usually they say it's typically five to 13 days which is a little long but it can be as much as 21 days. So some people might think, like, if the incubation period is so long, you know, that was what we talked about with COVID. If it's so, if during that incubation period, you can transfer it to other people, right? So if this virus has such a long incubation

period, isn't the risk of transferring it to other people really high? Yeah. And the answer is not likely because the main way that this virus spreads is through the lesions, through the open sores. And so if you haven't started showing those symptoms yet, if the sores haven't even formed yet, it's very unlikely you're going to spread it. And when you have the sores, the main way that you spread it to someone else is through close physical context. So the types of people who are spreading it are family members, health care workers, sexual partners, things like that. And that's how they're seeing that it gets spread. It's not airborne then. It's not like you're blowing it around with a sneeze or something like that.

So we wouldn't call it airborne, but technically, technically it can spread through the air. It's very hard, but it's, in those cases, it's because people have lesions in their mouth. Oh, God. That sounds terrible. Oh, my gosh. Because I've just been looking at a bunch of pictures that are horrifying. And to know that that's inside there, I just was thinking all, external, but you're going to have some of these in your mouth.

Oh, you probably got them in your butthole. Well, it's funny that you say that because some of the cases they've found have had around the butthole, as you put it, and the groin region where symptoms start. They don't know if that's

because it's a mutation of the virus, because it doesn't typically start that way. They don't know if it's because of a mutation of the virus or just because they think one of the super spreader events that occurred was somewhere over in Europe in Spain and I think Belgium in populations of

males who have sex with males and so they don't know if that's because of the sexual transmission nature of this seeming super spreader event that might be why it's When you're talking about people or monkeys? People.

People. Okay, so people doing it there was a wait like a like a big orgy or something like a big I don't actually know what the event was I just saw it refer to as an event but I'm interested I mean I don't know why that's interesting to me

because it's like super spreader event to me is like a giant group of people so was this like a coliseum full of people doing it like I don't know and now my imagination's going places and I'm going to stop I'm going to stop right there I should have stopped it butthole

but whatever continue on go ahead the uh the so the um they don't really know quite how this outbreak went from animals to people but it does do that on a somewhat regular on a semi regular basis over where it's endemic and it happens from you know the way that you hear about it right like like through hand hunting and handling wild animals and bush meat and stuff like that that's um that's how they're They suspect that these things have what they call crossover events or they cross over from animals to humans. I feel like the vegans are on to something a little bit. By that I mean.

Well, I mean, because they're not, if you're, if you're, let's say everybody went hardcore vegan, like industry wide, worldwide, everybody just stopped producing meat and dealing with animals for their fur, leather, any of that, like full vegan turnaround. I'm not advocating this. Just keep your emails to yourselves. But I'm saying if it did happen, would we suddenly see a, because you don't have the wet, you wouldn't have wet markets anymore. You wouldn't have these potential like, oh no, a freaking, some guy handled a monkey and shouldn't have, and now we got the pox, you know, like those things would stop or slow. Don't you think a little bit?

I'm not saying that's the solution of this, but if you theoretically could pull that off, I feel like we probably, that would probably happen. I don't know. Possibly, but you got to wonder, because of the nature of viruses and how they mutate, maybe they would just find an easier way to, a different way to cross over, you know. Yeah. That's a good point. So, you were mentioning vaccines. There is, there's no specific treatments that have to do with monkeypox itself.

but there is a vaccine and there's vaccines and antivirals that exist for smallpox and because it's related smallpox it helps and I said none for monkey pox but that's not actually true in 2019 there was a smallpox and monkey pox it was there was a vaccine that was approved for both smallpox and monkey pox there's not a lot of them right now there's only like about a stockpile of a thousand of these vaccines right now but they're planning to ramp it up just in case. But, you know, just taking those precautions ahead of time, trying to do things the right way this time. Yeah, yeah. And because the last thing we know,

even though it's very unlikely, the last thing we want is to be eating those words six months from now, you know? Oh, yeah, we don't want to eat those words. Those are words I would like not to eat. But it's the risk of spread, because that's why I wanted to talk about it, is bring up what it is and everything, But also to allay people's fears who are seeing these headlines that the risk of spread is very low, it's not likely that we're going to be seeing all this.

In fact, there was another outbreak of Monkey Pock's back in, I think, 2003. And it was like 45 people that happened in a relatively short amount of time because this is actually, it's not funny. I don't want to use the word funny. Not funny ha-ha. Yeah, more funny, interesting. that it happened because of a bunch of prairie dogs that were that were brought over from Ghana that were infected or that had monkey pox and then they were given out as pets to people that's kind of vermin right yeah yeah and so and so they it spread that way and because in even those 45 people which you know like that's three times as many as we have right now identified, um, we still didn't have a wide spread outbreak. Um, the response was, was, and you got to imagine the CDC is on super high alert for these types of things right now. Right. So,

oh yeah, they're good. I mean, yeah. But, but, but I guess the bottom line is we're not going to suddenly be told by the CDC or anyone else. Get your monkey pox vaccine. Like, they're going to keep their eye on it and they're going to see what things happen with these cases they've identified, but they're not like, that's not a thing. Right. Yeah, yeah. It's, it's, it's, it's, It's not likely. I mean, I guess the most likely thing might be that you might be, you know, here in local news if there's like a hotspot of something where you are, they might think. But probably only, like they've dipped into the vaccine stockpiled a tiny bit for people very close to where these things are happening who are extremely high risk. the other thing is if you're a normally healthy individual with no risk factors then once you start showing symptoms which begin as flu-like symptoms and then you get the lesions once you start showing symptoms it usually lasts for about two to four weeks and goes away on its own this particular strain of the virus there are two main ones

the one that is having the outbreaks right now is the less lethal one and there's only about a 1% fatality rate Which is high when you think about a COVID, like something that's very transmissible, like, transmissible like COVID. That would be super high for COVID. But when it's something like this that doesn't spread very easily, 1% is pretty low. Yeah, 1% is only, well, obviously it's a two-pronged problem. But if you, if it spreads really fast and easily and it was 1%, we'd all be, it'd be bad. Right. We were talking about with COVID, which was, I think, around that, we were talking about how terrible.

that was and that's why I wanted to clarify that it depends on the case it depends on what's what you're talking about 1% you know out of if if the like if out of 15 people is not very much you know but when when with COVID it was and still is much worse than that oh yeah so yeah it all it all depends um we just have to it's it's um this is why we monitor these things and why the CDC monitor these things and why we should as a people be sending people overseas to try to deal with things at the source because helping other countries like these vaccine problems are or these virus outbreak problems are not just an other country problem you know yeah it comes over here sometimes so we that's why we need to pay attention to it when it happens in other parts of the

world because the best way to handle it is to deal with it at the source that's also the best way to deal with potential deadly mutations. The faster you tamp it out, the less chance it has to mutate. That's true. Yeah. The more you isolate the cases and keep them from spreading. Like if a frequent COVID wasn't so damn spreadable, we probably could have done that. Like H1N1 was easier to contain.

Isolate. Yeah. So it was, what's the one that is really bad, but doesn't spread very easy? I forget what's called. Ebola. Ebola? Yeah. Yeah.

yeah that's really really deadly super deadly but less like you can contain it yeah yeah um so yeah it turns out this bunkeypox thing not not not uh not a new bill gates uh lab it's not a way of getting rfID chips into uh no no coasters turns not not no in fact well never mind am i going to bring that person up because they deserve no that's who i was thinking of yeah they deserve no extra help uh cheeseburgers and zaping you. Anyway, well, that's fantastic news that it's not so spreadable, but also keep your eye on the prize, everybody. And don't fall for any bull crap. Don't over panic and listen to experts. How about that? Do that. Bobby, excellent stuff. As always, you've got a science

podcast of your own where you talk about these and other issues. Tell people what it is and where they can get it. Yes, it's called All Around Science. And we talk about things like this that are popping up in the news all the time every week and this past week we didn't talk about something that was in the news we talked about something well we did anyway let me just get to the point we had an episode where

we talked about immortal jellyfish you guys heard of immortal jellyfish no I have not heard of these it's my favorite new steam game it sounds like it sounds like a rogue like doesn't it Yeah, that's what he does. So wait a minute.

This is the thing? They live forever? Yeah, there are jellyfish who can actually when they reach the adult stage of their life can undergo a process that causes them to basically Benjamin Button back into an infant stage of their life and go back and repeat it and do it keep going back and for it? They can repeat it and keep going for that infinitum. Do they know it? Like, are they smart enough to know what the hell's going on? Because that's the problem is it's all lost on them.

Jellyfish are, so jellyfish, as you've seen, I'm sure, are transparent and I've never seen a brain in there. I mean, there's something going on, right? They're moving around. It's all electrical impulses and some basic whatever. But that's, this is the bummer. This is like youth or youth being wasted on the young. It's like, these jellyfish have no freaking idea. How cool that is. Yeah. They're just like, rip, rip, rip, and that's it. That's what they do. So we talked all about that and how it works and why it is that they do that, you know, as insofar as we can know why, quote unquote. All right. Very cool. Well, if you want to learn more about eternal jellyfish, check it out all around science. Everywhere you get your podcast, Bobby, we'll see you next Tuesday.

Have a good one. Thanks. Bye now. See it, Bobby. All right. Do you see that thing I put? Look at the image. I know.

I know. That's kind of what my sandfly bites are probably going to look like in a couple days. I hope not. I hope not. jeez that'd be terrible no i saw that and immediately that's nope that's a big fat nope for me you'd have to go full burka or something on the show so nobody could see your your hideousness oh my gosh that's nasty all right uh well done everybody we got one last thing to do today and that is to play this bonus mashup even though it's you know technically well it's not monday but whatever

it's a mashup and i'm gonna play it yeah yeah it's a tuesday morning making up for a monday morning mashup that we had a holiday for us. That's right. And it's a PRS version which stands for poorly remembered shit. It's called One Direction Lads. Which is funny in its own way. I already know the context. I remember us trying to remember their names. So this is perfect.

Yeah, this would be great. So enjoy it. Jamie, thanks for this. Here it is. A Wii U game with Yoshi and it was called Yoshi's... Oh, shit. Pretty sure it was it, Yoshi's... Oh, shit. Yoshi's woolly thing. Mammoth. Oh, I lost it. Oh, she's woolly thing.

Hold on. Who's he with now? The lady that left Coach Lassow? Yeah. What's her eyeballs? Can't think of her name. Who's he? She was in that Tron reboot.

Can't think of her name. Olivia Mun. Olivia Mun. No, Olivia. Olivia Mun. No. Not dead eye. Olivia Munn.

Someone else. Wild. Olivia Wild. Still. Now, still Livy Mun. What? No. Still Olivia Mum.

Wait a minute. John Mullaney. Still Olivia Munn. I'm not kidding you that my brain is completely broken on this then. Mon. Bill Medley. And, uh, who was the other righteous brother? Shoot, I can't remember.

Jeremy Pie Licker. Jeremy Pie? Oh, my God. If that's on the border of going the wrong direction there. He is. Yes, exactly. What's the singer's name? Chuck E. Von Potato Head.

What is it? Yeah, that's it. Yes, exactly. His name is Chuck Evon Potato Head. I can't remember his name. Don't say it. I know you know it. It's like one of those names, though.

It's like kind of, um, oh gosh. It's plural noun, his first name. Oh, that's right. Uh, it's like, oh. It just flashed past. Cuomo is the last name. That's correct. First name is,

not Jules. Something with an S. It is with an S. Yes. Good. I can't do it. It is with an S. Rivers Cuomo.

Oh, it's Rivers. Frick. She's with One Direction Kid now, isn't she? Is that where she went? Zane or Nile or something. I think you're right. Harry Stiles.

That's it. Yeah. Olivia Wounds with Harry Stiles. Oh, he's with Harry Styles and his watermelon. song okay great watermelon sugar sugar I'm talking about a vagina I really don't know all the one direction lads Claire thank you I know Zach one of them's called Zach something to him pretend he doesn't know the one direction lads the one little the Zach one's kind of a douche right that's all I know

is there a Zach although Zane is it Zane it might be Zane my niece used to be really into one direction, and that's about the extent. Zane, Harry, Nile, Parchisi, and R2D2 are the 5-1 direction. Parchisi was the worst. Parchisi, yeah. Yeah, Zane is the name. It's Z-A-N, Claire. That's all I know.

That's Z-A-Y-N. Oh, it is? Yeah, it's four letters. Z-A-Y-N. Oh, well, one of them's talented in his acting and making more music. The rest are just sitting around picking their butts. That's a good one. That's great.

Jamie, well done. And you are right I mean Olivia Wilde was the one with Coach Lassow But yes She's talking about the one who was with John Mullaney Who he left his wife for is Olivia

That's what I mixed up Because I was thinking she left Coach Lassow to go to John Malaney But that was That was not it Two different Olivia's Yeah plus Malini left

His wife to go to Mun Right Right after he did an episode Of comedians and cars getting coffee where he said, I can never have kids. And then he immediately went and had a kid with Olivia Mung. That's right. Yeah.

So there's all that. Well, all right, then. That's it for the show.

Nice. A file with a joke in it.

Don't open it, though. Don't open if the joke will fall out. It'll fall out. And you won't even see it because it's an invisible joke. Oh, my gosh. Don't do it. Yeah. All right.

Excellent. All right. Let's get to the song, the ending song here. This one's going out to Veronica Susie, actually going out to Jana. who we got to meet at TMS Vegas. She was lovely and she she's a listener of the show. Apparently she only listens to the first half of the show. So Nika, you got to make sure you get Jaina listening to the full episode, please.

Yeah. All right. She says, hey, Brian and Scott, today is our friend, Jana's birthday. She loves playing the ukulele, so any cover with one would be amazing. Snow the Go, though, sign Pixie. Jane's never going to hear it because she checks out after the first time. half for the show. I know, well, you know, she's going to have to break the rules just this once to hear this awesome cover right here. This is awesome. This is Amanda Palmer, who is Neil Gaiman's better half, other half. Girlfriend. Great half. That's an amazing couple. Power couple. It isn't like the creativity power couple right there, for sure. Agree. This is from an album she released called Amanda Palmer performs the popular hits of

Radiohead on her magic ukulele came out in 2010, and as you can guess, it's a cover of Radiohead. It's High and Dry, here performed by Amanda Palmer.
