                                        Coming up on TMS, Uncle Ben killed Batman's parents.
                                         
                                        Good for Hummy.
                                         
                                        I didn't expect that.
                                         
                                        What kind of sick cucumber snuff film is this?
                                         
                                        How do you make baby pants?
                                         
                                        Darts in your cornhole.
                                         
                                        Tossing your tortillas.
                                         
                                        I'm getting too old for this space travel.
                                         
    
                                        Is it too early for a funny, fresh yet, fresh, fish?
                                         
                                        It's better than I could have hope.
                                         
                                        Uh, where the hell am I?
                                         
                                        German is a big language.
                                         
                                        Use my baldness to my advantage.
                                         
                                        I would gladly throw that at your head.
                                         
                                        I don't like blowing peas.
                                         
                                        Get the Mucinex monkey off my back.
                                         
    
                                        It's not magic, Bobby. It's an illusion.
                                         
                                        Nerling knobs with Bill.
                                         
                                        Well-rendered fish sandwiches and more on this episode of the morning stream.
                                         
                                        Part of the trick to entertaining unexpected guests is keeping on hand certain generally
                                         
                                        useful foods. One of these is cheese of an easy melting type, which Sally is going to use as a
                                         
                                        base for the rare bit.
                                         
                                        I don't care. This is the morning stream.
                                         
                                        Good morning and welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream for June 14th, 2022. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Ibitt. Hi.
                                         
    
                                        Hello. Hello there. We're starting a little late today. It's a freaking internet God's fault, but we got it worked out. Everything's fine now.
                                         
                                        Yeah, exactly. It's all fine now. And just as just as the show started, I got the results from my latest DAL-E entry.
                                         
                                        Oh, is it, dude, it puts this anywhere, I want to see it.
                                         
                                        I will put it somewhere.
                                         
                                        My search subject was Baby Spice dressed as a cucumber.
                                         
                                        Perfect.
                                         
                                        And I'll copy and paste it into our Discord, and you can share it with...
                                         
                                        Excellent.
                                         
    
                                        Boy.
                                         
                                        I'll probably also, I'll probably also put this on Twitter because, boy, howdy.
                                         
                                        Oh, geez.
                                         
                                        Okay, this is a good one.
                                         
                                        Here, chat, check it out.
                                         
                                        This is...
                                         
                                        This is gnarly.
                                         
                                        There's some nightmare fuel going on here.
                                         
    
                                        Yep.
                                         
                                        Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                        That's just what this thing's good at.
                                         
                                        If you're at home listening, I can only describe this as horrifying.
                                         
                                        I don't think any of these are baby spice, first of all.
                                         
                                        No, the one at the bottom center kind of looks like her.
                                         
                                        Maybe, yeah.
                                         
                                        A little bit.
                                         
    
                                        The one on the baby to the right is just a baby.
                                         
                                        It's just a baby, yeah, dressed as a good thing.
                                         
                                        But I think there's like a, I can't tell down by that baby's hand is maybe like a pepper,
                                         
                                        which is maybe the spice thing getting thrown in there.
                                         
                                        Oh, could be.
                                         
                                        That's an interesting thought.
                                         
                                        I didn't even think about that.
                                         
                                        That it's like, oh, now, how do I figure, how do I get the word spice in here?
                                         
    
                                        Exactly.
                                         
                                        I think one of these might be Gwen Stefani.
                                         
                                        Oh, like the center square here, or even bottom left.
                                         
                                        Or top right.
                                         
                                        Top right could be Gwen Stefani.
                                         
                                        Oh, that could be, yeah.
                                         
                                        The one in the center top, that's, I hate that.
                                         
                                        That is Silence of the Lambs is what we're looking at right there.
                                         
    
                                        That's how Hannibal Lecter got out of that little jail cell inside the high school auditorium
                                         
                                        where he was being held.
                                         
                                        Yeah, there's something about the lighting there.
                                         
                                        Just don't like it.
                                         
                                        Yeah, it's like the snuff film where somebody kills a cucumber.
                                         
                                        If you guys, you guys haven't messed with this tool, it's really weird.
                                         
                                        It's really freaking weird.
                                         
                                        I can't wait to see what the new one does because the new one's supposed to be insane.
                                         
    
                                        But it's all the rage right now.
                                         
                                        Everybody's making these stupid things.
                                         
                                        And what are you going to do?
                                         
                                        What are you going to do?
                                         
                                        It's just so bizarre.
                                         
                                        Hey, Scott, how you doing, man?

                                        I don't, I don't, probably nothing will happen.
                                         
                                        You'll probably just fine, is my guess.
                                         
                                        Yeah, I'm probably, and I'd say I'm maybe at, listen, if my normal living state is 100%, then I feel
                                         
                                        like I'm probably, I'm probably at 85.
                                         
                                        That's pretty good.
                                         
                                        Pretty darn close, getting up there.
                                         
                                        I did get on on the bike yesterday, did a five-mile ride just to get myself back.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
    
                                        So you're first since the, since you were down?
                                         
                                        First since start, first in a week, or first, yeah, first since Tuesday last week.
                                         
                                        Damn.
                                         
                                        um today uh is puzzle pint day oh so i'm going to ride down to the brewery that is next door to
                                         
                                        casa benita ah is it open yet they redone the thing no still working on it there still but they're
                                         
                                        working on you can see like stuff going on when you go by there and there's like i never go by there
                                         
                                        so i don't know but i will know tonight i'll be able to to tell you know i shouldn't be able to tell
                                         
                                        because the outside should remain untouched if if you know if everybody has their way
                                         
    
                                        It'll still be a weird pink, weird pink building in the middle of the city that, you know, that seems so freaking out of place that it shouldn't, it's a thing that should not be.
                                         
                                        It just seems like the South Park guys, they would want, they would be interested in keeping that alive, right?
                                         
                                        I think so, yeah.
                                         
                                        They would absolutely maintain the integrity of the exterior while improving the, really just the food of the interior.
                                         
                                        Everything else about the interior, I think, also needs to be maintained.
                                         
                                        Right. It's just the food.
                                         
                                        The Acapulco cliff divers, Black Bart's Cave.
                                         
                                        Sure. All that stuff, no one's complaining about that.
                                         
    
                                        It's the food. Fix the food.
                                         
                                        Fix the food.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Have some actual decent food on your menu.
                                         
                                        How about that?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Except your soap of Piaz, which you always tell me you're good there.
                                         
                                        Oh, they're fantastic.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Dude, what a day to not have Stephen Schleiker this morning.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        We got the news that Lady Gaga is in early talks to play Harley Quinn.
                                         
                                        Oh, this is so weird.
                                         
                                        in The Joker sequel, which will be a musical.
                                         
                                        Yeah, is that real?
                                         
                                        Someone's yanking my chode on that, right?
                                         
    
                                        It can't be real.
                                         
                                        The Hollywood Reporter is the one that's reporting this.
                                         
                                        You know, if this was anybody else.
                                         
                                        Cannot get my head around this?
                                         
                                        They must be like in his head and he's weird and he's having a dream and the dream she's involved and it's a musical in his dream or something.
                                         
                                        It can't be.
                                         
                                        I love this idea, though.
                                         
                                        All right, Gagas, Harley Quinn.
                                         
    
                                        And it's a musical.
                                         
                                        I mean, what else?
                                         
                                        What else do you want?
                                         
                                        What else can you get?
                                         
                                        So obviously, we're now, like, it's now fully, yeah, we're outside the regular DC extended universe.
                                         
                                        We kind of knew that, right, since it's a different actor playing Joker and that sort of thing.
                                         
                                        Yeah, so I assume, yeah, you're not going to bring Margot Robbie over for this.
                                         
                                        She'd do something weird and, you know.
                                         
    
                                        Well, plus we see at the end of Joker, spoiler alert, at the end of Joker, we do see the end of Joker, we do see the,

                                        I really liked it, but I don't remember all the details, I guess.
                                         
                                        I remember I only saw the movie once.

                                        I should watch it again.
                                         
                                        And then I would remember, oh, right, there's a scene at the end where we see the alleyway business.

                                        in the world that he kind of

                                        really was an embarrassment. That's what they needed to have with the No Way Home was Toby McGuire saying, oh, thank God I'm in your universe because holy crap, my universe went to shit.
                                         
                                        That 70 show kid. Started out with so much promise.
                                         
    
                                        Worked out well until, I mean, I guess they kept the best parts, the Doc Ock from 2, and you got your, I like Sandman as a character. He was the best thing of three, except for the part where he shot Uncle Ben.
                                         
                                        Yeah, which apparently a lot of us had blocked out.
                                         
                                        forgot because it's dumb and terrible.
                                         
                                        So I forgot.
                                         
                                        Well, anyway.
                                         
                                        Anyway.
                                         
                                        Hey, I did a fun thing yesterday.
                                         
                                        So I've been telling you about this V-Rising game, the vampire survival game.
                                         
    
                                        It's really fun and totally scratches about 13 inches I have in gaming.
                                         
                                        But the best part was yesterday.
                                         
                                        I'd forgotten we did this for our core patrons.
                                         
                                        We opened it up so that they could be on our server.
                                         
                                        And they all have to have this like secret.
                                         
                                        password and all that. Anyway, so we're on there playing. And I had to take down this guy called
                                         
                                        Nicholas the haunted or the undaunted or the whatever. He's just a huge douche who's down in this
                                         
                                        graveyard that is really hard to kill. And I need to kill him because I need to get this
                                         
    
                                        recipe for a thing I don't have. And he's the only way I can get it. So I go down there and I go like,
                                         
                                        I don't know, seven tries dead. Dead, dead, dead, dead. Run, corpse run, get my stuff. Dead, dead,
                                         
                                        dead, keep dying. It just sucks. So I'm finally like, wait, we have other people on here.
                                         
                                        I'm going to, like, do kind of an MMO thing where you're wanting to do, like, a world boss or something?
                                         
                                        I'm going to say, hey, anyone want to help me take on Nicholas the butthole?
                                         
                                        Yeah, you're kidding.
                                         
                                        Nicholas the douchebag, and they all said, sure.
                                         
                                        And Tesserit was one.
                                         
    
                                        I can't remember the other guy's names.
                                         
                                        Anyway, these guys all flocked down there, took the guy down, no problem.
                                         
                                        Nice.
                                         
                                        Sucked all his V-blood.
                                         
                                        You crowd-sourced your boss.
                                         
                                        That's right, damn it.
                                         
                                        And it was great.
                                         
                                        I just love that game, V-rising rocks with listeners even better.
                                         
    
                                        It's very good.
                                         
                                        we were talking about Star Wars the other day
                                         
                                        and somebody had a reply about this
                                         
                                        okay uh the person that wrote in's name is Luke
                                         
                                        and he says dear Sith and Bacta
                                         
                                        I like that okay good
                                         
                                        pretty good uh I've heard Scott mentioned this a couple of times
                                         
                                        recently Rogue 1 is the only new Star Wars movie
                                         
    
                                        that tried anything new and that thought kills me
                                         
                                        keep in mind that I also like Rogue 1 as you read the following
                                         
                                        all right here we go
                                         
                                        The Last Jedi tried all kinds of things
                                         
                                        new to Star Wars writers
                                         
                                        and director Ryan Johnson tried quote or here's your list supposing that the Jedi order was an outright failure and Luke is driving the anti-Jedai train okay sure what if the universe doesn't revolve around the Skywalker's and the Jedi maybe we should try new things and not rely on our elders and maybe Kylo the bad guy has some really good ideas is number three does he really though
                                         
                                        it's a weird I like the way it's phrased because it sounds like you know
                                         
                                        maybe maybe the
                                         
    
                                        opponent isn't all bad
                                         
                                        maybe they've got some really good ideas
                                         
                                        yeah maybe you know
                                         
                                        Hitler has some maybe there's something to
                                         
                                        this Thanos thing yeah this 50%
                                         
                                        thing maybe maybe Hitler had a couple
                                         
                                        of bright ideas you know
                                         
                                        like you could take that anywhere I suppose
                                         
    
                                        right exactly so but yeah I do
                                         
                                        agree at that point he says the reason you don't
                                         
                                        remember any of these is because JJ took over the
                                         
                                        episode nine and undid all the amazing potential
                                         
                                        that Johnson had fostered the last Jedi
                                         
                                        much like Empire Strikes Back was one an awesome movie
                                         
                                        two laid down some track that could have made for an incredible third movie.
                                         
                                        But sad trombone, episode nine starts with the dead speak and the palpatine is back and Ray is
                                         
    
                                        Skywalker and same old story and is rightfully forgotten by most.
                                         
                                        Overall, it's a bummer, but I'll stick up for The Last Jedi any day.
                                         
                                        Love the show though. Luke.
                                         
                                        All right, Luke, here's where I will agree with you.
                                         
                                        It did have a different tone.
                                         
                                        I didn't, and there was a lot of hate for it at the time, but I liked Last Jedi.
                                         
                                        Um, my only, the only thing I really liked about it though, honestly, at the end of the day was that cool planet of like red salt. I thought that was cool. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. I don't have a lot of love for that for the new trilogy. It's fine. It plays out. It's a thing. You can see it. You have a fun time at the theater. Woo-hoo. Yip-you-hoo. Um, I like Ray as a character. Like, there's things I like about it, but it just doesn't scratch my, my itches at all. I like the, I like the, I like the rogue.
                                         
                                        one just that's how it is and solo may as well be a weird like christmas special i can't get into
                                         
    
                                        that very much i thought solo was kind of bad yeah i need you know what maybe i need to see solo again
                                         
                                        i i thought for an action movie it was fun and the uh the danny glover casting is landau brilliant
                                         
                                        but i think i need to see i need that's really all i remember about it and that damn uh how many of

                                        I can go back in time.
                                         
                                        There's some things,
                                         
                                        some character origins that you don't need to explain.
                                         
                                        No.
                                         
    
                                        You don't need to...
                                         
                                        Even if you did, why is I have to be asked?
                                         
                                        I'm sorry, Donald Glover.
                                         
                                        I'm getting too old for this shit, T.P. Travis.
                                         
                                        What did you say?
                                         
                                        I said dating Glover.
                                         
                                        Oh, Danny Glover.
                                         
                                        I should have gotten it from the tool for this show.
                                         
    
                                        That's funny.

                                        Boba? Not like Boba Fett?
                                         
                                        Boba Fett?

                                        I'll love her. It was inspired casting, but
                                         
                                        it's just wasted in a movie
                                         
                                        that's just kind of, I don't know.
                                         
                                        It had problems. Problems.
                                         
                                        Problems were had.

                                        With an ungarnish at the bottom.
                                         
                                        I don't know what that means.
                                         
                                        I can tell these are chips,
                                         
                                        and I can tell that there's a pepper on there.
                                         
                                        And these were sent to us by a listener.
                                         
                                        Let's see.
                                         
                                        Does this come with German?
                                         
                                        Does my Google translate come with German free?
                                         
    
                                        It does come with German free.
                                         
                                        I assume so.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        That's a big language.
                                         
                                        I've got to support that one.
                                         
                                        It's a big language.
                                         
                                        Yeah, that's one they should probably do.
                                         
                                        Now, we're to Gombin Gabbin.
                                         
    
                                        Funny Fresh is, uh, translates in English to funny fresh.
                                         
                                        Okay, great.
                                         
                                        So that means chips is, uh, crispy fresh.
                                         
                                        Yeah.

                                        And then the word Ungadish is Hungarian.
                                         
                                        So it is just Hungarian-flavored.

                                        It's not telling me what language
                                         
                                        I've got detect language

                                        What language
                                         
    
                                        It is
                                         
                                        Well then we shouldn't feel nervous about eating these at all
                                         
                                        Then I'm sure that they're 100% okay
                                         
                                        And so they came actually
                                         
                                        I think via
                                         
                                        Out of Vegas somewhere
                                         
                                        Who's the listener?
                                         
                                        Do we have their name?
                                         
    
                                        Oh, yes, Dominic.
                                         
                                        Dominic.
                                         
                                        Dominic, giving you credit for this here, bud.
                                         
                                        All right, here we go.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
                                        Let's take a smell.
                                         
                                        Oh, they smell fine.
                                         
                                        It smells like barbecue chips, basically.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        This will probably taste like goulash, is my guess.
                                         
                                        Let's give it a shot.
                                         
                                        There's a pepper on there.
                                         
                                        I assume they're meant to be spicy, maybe?
                                         
                                        No.
                                         
                                        Because it's like a bell pepper.
                                         
                                        All right, let's see.
                                         
    
                                        Oh, these are good.

                                        Congratulations, Germany.
                                         
                                        You duplicated a common American chip.
                                         
                                        Or maybe we duplicated yours.
                                         
    
                                        No hires of paprika, not at all.
                                         
                                        Like, you know, and I know paprika.
                                         
                                        I grew up with the Hungarian grandmother that
                                         
                                        pored everything in that lovely red dust.
                                         
                                        Every time I hear paprika, I think of the anime,
                                         
                                        which is weird because I don't really like anime that much,
                                         
                                        but there's an animated movie called paprika,
                                         
                                        and it's weird as hell.
                                         
    
                                        People should watch it.
                                         
                                        I mean, it'll freak you out.
                                         
                                        And there's boobs in it.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
                                        Moving on.
                                         
                                        Well, you had me at boobs.
                                         
                                        Indeed.
                                         
                                        So we got a note from our good friend, Gwen.
                                         
    
                                        She's in the chat now.
                                         
                                        Provider of all things, TMST, the T's that we do here, also the Ruey Dungeons.
                                         
                                        Oh, yeah, we need to get the hookup on some ship's phasers, Earl Gray.
                                         
                                        For sure.
                                         
                                        But check this out.

                                        Hey, y'all, I'll just wonder if you could throw out a shout out to my former home of
                                         
                                        Red Lodge. A quarter of it is underwater right now. The entire country has had awful flooding, power out, waters out, no idea when there will be back on. It's a rough situation. I know there are a few listeners of yours in town. If you have time, it would mean a lot to me to mention it. Well, of course, we'll mention it. Also, I didn't realize. So I'd heard Kim was reading something off her phone yesterday going, do you hear what's going on in Yellowstone? I said, no. And she described the flooding and the, just stuff that, you know, the power out and all the stuff that was going on in Yellowstone, which is
                                         
    
                                        currently closed in a total mess and uh i forgot entirely that red lodge is like right near there right

                                        roads away like the flood eroding the um the roads away so it's this is going to be more

                                        go yeah and if you guys are
                                         
                                        If you guys have never seen Red Lodge, I'm putting a picture up on the chat here.
                                         
                                        This is, it reminds me of Park City or probably any number of towns in Colorado.
                                         
    
                                        It's like this beautiful mountain town with like this amazing old, old-timey-looking main street.
                                         
                                        Mountains just like immediately in the background.
                                         
                                        It's really beautiful.
                                         
                                        Anyway, I hope they recover quickly.
                                         
                                        That sucks.
                                         
                                        Sucks big time.
                                         
                                        I know Gwen's in the chat, I think.
                                         
                                        Yeah, she says that it's the only road to the Stillwater Mine, the largest employer of that area.
                                         
    
                                        is completely ruined.
                                         
                                        Miners are trapped there.
                                         
                                        Holy cow.
                                         
                                        Oh, I didn't know that.
                                         
                                        Geez.
                                         
                                        I'd hoped everybody was at least out.
                                         
                                        It sounds like maybe not.
                                         
                                        So I always had this question.
                                         
    
                                        Yellowstone's like a pretty massive tourist draw,
                                         
                                        and it's a, you know,
                                         
                                        it's a national park and all that.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Do people live there, like in the park?
                                         
                                        Or is it?
                                         
                                        I imagine there's probably,
                                         
                                        there's probably rangers that live there or that have,
                                         
    
                                        oh yeah, Glenn says, yeah.
                                         
                                        Yeah, there we go, some rangers.
                                         
                                        and stuff live there.
                                         
                                        Yeah, makes sense.
                                         
                                        But it's not like there's not like a whole town in there.
                                         
                                        It would be more like surrounding towns like.
                                         
                                        Right.
                                         
                                        Like Estes Park, like outside of Rocky Mountain National Park.
                                         
    
                                        There are rangers that live in Rocky Mountain National Park,
                                         
                                        but then most of the people who work there who live outside of there in Estes Park.
                                         
                                        I gotcha.
                                         
                                        Oh, and chat, another good example, Sicily, Alaska.
                                         
                                        Yeah, these kinds of little towns.
                                         
                                        I love those things.
                                         
                                        Well, that sucks.
                                         
                                        and I hope they get out soon and that's taken care of because what was it from that
                                         
    
                                        that massive rain that came through the whole Intermountain West was pretty bad I'm guessing
                                         
                                        that that was part of this probably because we got soaked but it wasn't like you know
                                         
                                        flooding soaked I think we got I think we caught the tail end of whatever the heck that was so
                                         
                                        anyway our thoughts to all those people and thank you going for bringing it to our attention
                                         
                                        and I hope you and yours are all doing okay all right uh well geez that's about as far
                                         
                                        as far as that'll go. Let's do some news.
                                         
                                        That sounds good.
                                         
                                        Hey, Brian, how about some news brought to you by?
                                         
    
                                        Brought to you by the delightful combination of crackers and kimchi.

                                        They're the ones of which you speak. They're like, they look like little flattened,
                                         
                                        crispy dried out pretzels.
                                         
                                        Yeah, and they're great for like cheese balls and, you know.

                                        Good for hummus.
                                         
                                        They're good for all sorts of stuff.
                                         
                                        But what I didn't know is how good they are for kimchi.
                                         
    
                                        So here's what I did.
                                         
                                        I got a big bag of those from Costco.
                                         
                                        And I'm like, you know, I'm feeling a little peckish, not starving, but just a little
                                         
                                        something to get me by.
                                         
                                        So I made a little plate.
                                         
                                        And on the plate, I put like, I don't know, six, seven of these flattened pretzel
                                         
                                        cracker things, a little salt on them and all that. These aren't flavored. They're just the
                                         
                                        standard ones. And got some fresh kimchi from the Asian market a couple of days ago. And you take
                                         
    
                                        that out and big slabs of the stuff and you put it on those crackers and then you just eat them
                                         
                                        like an hors d'oeuvre. They're so good. That sounds good. That does sound good. It's good for
                                         
                                        your guts too. So highly recommend. Let's move to this story here. A British man throws a
                                         
                                        He throws a tortilla more than 90 feet, thus getting the Guinness World Record for Tortilla Toss.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        So, Brian, I don't know if you've been wanting to compete in the area of tortilla tossing, but...
                                         
                                        I've been wanting to...
                                         
                                        I would like to put my mark in the Guinness Book of World Records someday, and maybe this is my chance.
                                         
    
                                        Maybe I can huck a tortilla.
                                         
                                        It feels like there's a lot of luck, right?
                                         
                                        Like, there's no rim to the tortilla.
                                         
                                        It's like throwing a record, and we've all done that.
                                         
                                        that where we threw a record like a frisbee and it goes wheeves around and
                                         
                                        right right yeah we've all done it but have we successfully done it for 90 feet the answer is
                                         
                                        no i have not no no did he was able to all right is this a is this a burrito size tortilla is it
                                         
                                        a taco size tortilla soft taco size tortilla well it doesn't tell me some information so here um
                                         
    
                                        david rush is his name uh let's see if i can find this here on that size i don't know if they
                                         
                                        have it here. I assume it's just a standard tortilla. Let's find out. All over Miles told
                                         
                                        Guinness Burke World Records, he decided to do it. Oh, this is the guy that took the title
                                         
                                        from this David Rush guy. Anyway, he wanted to attempt the world record after watching a YouTube
                                         
                                        video while COVID was in, uh, had everybody in lockdown. Quote, attempting this gave me
                                         
                                        something to focus on during the lockdown, which really helped my mental health and actually
                                         
                                        break the world record, uh, will really prove these efforts weren't in vain. He told the
                                         
                                        Guinness people. He managed a distance of 90 feet, 11 inches. It's a funny feeling. It's a super
                                         
    
                                        silly world record. I can't believe I'm the person who can throw a tortilla the furthest in the
                                         
                                        world. The said the record stood at 30 feet one inch when he originally decided to break the
                                         
                                        record. But that was busted in the meantime by this David Rush guy who did it for 54.5 inches.
                                         
                                        Rush's mark was again beaten before Miles had a chance to take top spot. So somebody else
                                         
                                        even did it. Doesn't say, I assume it's the standard ass freaking flower tortilla as you buy at the
                                         
                                        store. They don't get into it.
                                         
                                        It just doesn't say, you know, it could be corn tortillas.
                                         
                                        And we don't know if they're, uh, um, they're more dense.
                                         
    
                                        You could throw that further probably and they're smaller, less resistance.
                                         
                                        You could definitely throw the flour further than the corn, for sure.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Well, I don't know.
                                         
                                        Unless the corn's small, because this corns are smaller, right?
                                         
                                        Usually.
                                         
                                        Corns are smaller.
                                         
                                        So I don't know if that, if that cuts down on wind resistance, a friction, drag.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, that's why.
                                         
                                        See, okay.
                                         
                                        Number one, it doesn't surprise me at all that you said you would like to have a
                                         
                                        Gannisbrook book
                                         
                                        before you die
                                         
                                        okay because that seems like
                                         
                                        something Brian did
                                         
                                        but we wanted to do
                                         
    
                                        what do you think
                                         
                                        it'll end up being in
                                         
                                        like should we
                                         
                                        should we have Jamie right now
                                         
                                        start counting up the total
                                         
                                        minutes of podcasting
                                         
                                        that we've done on TMS
                                         
                                        you know just TMS
                                         
    
                                        and then
                                         
                                        Coverville and then like
                                         
                                        maybe we've already broken a record
                                         
                                        yeah because we talked about this before
                                         
                                        like there was somebody
                                         
                                        and maybe it was Adam Curry
                                         
                                        it was one of these people
                                         
                                        that literally does like
                                         
    
                                        a two or three hour show
                                         
                                        every day.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Who is, who's doing that?
                                         
                                        Is he doing that now?
                                         
                                        Don and Drew were doing some long.
                                         
                                        They were doing shows almost on the daily and it was like, you know, two hour plus
                                         
                                        shows.
                                         
    
                                        I think we've caught up with them now, though.
                                         
                                        I had to have been that by now because they're not doing that now.
                                         
                                        Possibly. Yeah.
                                         
                                        Huh.
                                         
                                        I don't know.
                                         
                                        I'd love to find out.
                                         
                                        I'm just curious.
                                         
                                        Like, is there an entry for that already and like who has it?
                                         
    
                                        And if not, are we even in the running?
                                         
                                        It's possible.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I mean, what would be my,
                                         
                                        What would be my, what skill do I have that I could use,
                                         
                                        that I could harness to turn into a Guinness World Record?
                                         
                                        Is it like most useless facts of music trivia spouted off in a one minute?
                                         
                                        I don't know.
                                         
    
                                        I mean, almost anything can count if you can demonstrate the process, right?
                                         
                                        Isn't that how it works?
                                         
                                        It's like.
                                         
                                        Right, because you can make up a thing and say,
                                         
                                        did this the longest or the most
                                         
                                        or the fastest or whatever
                                         
                                        and if there's not already an entry for it
                                         
                                        how do they decide
                                         
    
                                        like that's really a dumb entry
                                         
                                        like I can tie the most t-shirts
                                         
                                        into a knot in 11 minutes
                                         
                                        and the thing is I think some of this stuff
                                         
                                        like here let's look at the dumbest
                                         
                                        or no let's say the strangest
                                         
                                        Guinness
                                         
                                        oh that's one we need to find right
                                         
    
                                        One of the dumb ones that they've allowed in that somebody thought, well, no one's ever going to do this.
                                         
                                        I'm going to do it just to get my name in there.
                                         
                                        And then I'm going to do it one minute faster and boot them out.
                                         
                                        Yeah, exactly.
                                         
                                        Okay, here you go.
                                         
                                        Well, not that you want to do this one, but here's one.
                                         
                                        Fastest time to crush three watermelons with your thighs.
                                         
                                        That's an actual entry.
                                         
    
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
                                        Jeez.
                                         
                                        Yeah, that feels like.
                                         
                                        It's pretty nuts.
                                         
                                        Oh, by the way, the record for the...
                                         
                                        Oh, we talked that we watched a video of this woman.
                                         
                                        It was a...
                                         
    
                                        It's a woman, right?
                                         
                                        Yeah, kind of having a...
                                         
                                        Oh, yeah, Olga Listic Chuck in Milan, Italy, did it.
                                         
                                        Yes, we watched a video of her, and what she...
                                         
                                        She's more dropping on them than she's crushing them with her...
                                         
                                        Like, crushing them with her legs.
                                         
                                        I don't remember.
                                         
                                        Well, the record says 14.65 seconds.
                                         
    
                                        That's about how long that video was, if I remember.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Okay, most straws stuffed in mouth with hands off.
                                         
                                        I don't know what that means.
                                         
                                        Oh, without holding them in.
                                         
                                        Okay, so basically, like...
                                         
                                        Like how many straws can I fit into my mouth?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
    
                                        And then stand there with them in your mouth for some period of time.
                                         
                                        And then that's the record.
                                         
                                        It's 400 currently achieved by Simon Elmore, who did it for 10 seconds in Germany back
                                         
                                        10 years ago.
                                         
                                        I could beat that.
                                         
                                        Can they be those little coffee stirring straws that you get at diners?
                                         
                                        Probably, because then you just...
                                         
                                        You're not going to drink a Coke out of?
                                         
    
                                        It's probably a different category, but it's a different listing.
                                         
                                        Like, you would hold a record for that.
                                         
                                        I can't choose the straw.
                                         
                                        I can't say, give me those little teeny tiny straws.
                                         
                                        Exactly.
                                         
                                        Oh, here's one for you.
                                         
                                        Farthest marshmallow nose blow.
                                         
                                        They put a marshmallow up their nose and then hork it as far as I can go.
                                         
    
                                        That's cool.
                                         
                                        I think I could do that.
                                         
                                        Like a little miniature marshmallow?
                                         
                                        Yeah.

                                        Most spoons balanced on the face.

                                        You'd have to have a really big face for that.
                                         
                                        Oh, is there something where,
                                         
                                        my baldness, like where I could use my baldness to some advantage. Oh, let's see.
                                         
                                        Largest bubble gum bubble. No, you don't have to be bald to do that. What about, is there any
                                         
                                        any, like, most number of suction cup, um, darts stuck to head? I mean, that's not bad. What about
                                         
                                        those darts? Yeah, the ones you toss across the room, kind of like cornhole, except they're
                                         
    
                                        darts and they're rubber and they have
                                         
                                        two ends that'll stick. Do you know the ones I'm
                                         
                                        talking about? I would gladly throw those at your
                                         
                                        head. That'd be fine.
                                         
                                        Seems I don't want them thrown at me.
                                         
                                        How about heaviest weight lifted by a human beard?
                                         
                                        You'd have to grow your beard out.
                                         
                                        Yeah, no. That's again, that's something that I don't
                                         
    
                                        I don't want anything that like
                                         
                                        pain might be involved
                                         
                                        and pulling
                                         
                                        that much weight up being pulled on
                                         
                                        my chin. All right, one more
                                         
                                        here. How about? Oh,
                                         
                                        this is crazy. Is this real?
                                         
                                        All right. The most rotations hanging from a power drill.
                                         
    
                                        Oh.
                                         
                                        So before it breaks or stops, you'd have to be small.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        What's the number?
                                         
                                        What's the number of rotations?
                                         
                                        148.
                                         
                                        Achieved by the Hui Gyang on the set of the Guinness World Records in Madrid, Spain in 2008.
                                         
                                        So as I understand this, they've got a power drill mounted up high with the drill pointing down.
                                         
    
                                        they've affixed something to the drill head
                                         
                                        that is attached maybe to their feet.
                                         
                                        Yeah, or your head could be.
                                         
                                        Or their head, or yeah, right, a little harness.
                                         
                                        Yeah, and then they spin as long as they can spin.
                                         
                                        It feels like that has more to do with the drill than you, you know?
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                        How's the torque on your drill?
                                         
    
                                        How's your battery?

                                        All right, here's a story for all you fans, I guess, of Willy Wonka.
                                         
                                        Two M&M factory workers were rescued after falling into a giant chocolate tank.
                                         
                                        Oh, my.
                                         
                                        Wow.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, they just took a biff right into the chocolate tank.
                                         
                                        Two workers of the NM.
                                         
                                        Be great if this is the origin story for the talking M&M's.
                                         
                                        Hey, this is how we ended up like this.
                                         
                                        Yeah, I guess this is...
                                         
                                        I don't get it.
                                         
                                        Hey, fun side fact about that.
                                         
                                        That Red M&M was played by both Billy West and John Lovitz at one point.
                                         
    
                                        Oh, I totally believe that.
                                         
                                        Yeah, John, I absolutely can hear both of their voices in that.
                                         
                                        Who did the dopey?
                                         
                                        I think that was at one time John Goodman,
                                         
                                        but I think it also could have been someone else.
                                         
                                        I don't think it was ever.
                                         
                                        I always think of Patrick Warburton,
                                         
                                        but I don't think that's him.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, and I don't think, I don't think he's ever.
                                         
                                        All right, okay, hold on.
                                         
                                        Now I got to know.
                                         
                                        We got to know, now we've got to know.
                                         
                                        Well, Yellow Simmons, I'm sorry,
                                         
                                        Yellow, voiced by J.R. I'm sorry, yellow,
                                         
                                        voiced by J.K. Simmons and one other.
                                         
                                        Hold on a second.
                                         
    
                                        Yellow Simmons.
                                         
                                        That's funny.
                                         
                                        Yellow Simmons.
                                         
                                        I love Yellow Simmons.
                                         
                                        Parker.
                                         
                                        I'm yellow.
                                         
                                        Parker.
                                         
                                        Let's see here.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, yellow voiced by J.K. Simmons and one other. Who else is the one other?
                                         
                                        Oh, John Goodman. So John Goodman and J.K. Simmons.
                                         
                                        Oh, I did not know.
                                         
                                        So J.K. Simmons doing that like, yeah, I don't know. It looks like an envelope.
                                         
                                        Does he just do everything?
                                         
                                        Is he just like... The dude has such an incredible...
                                         
                                        Listen, J.K. Simmons and Giancarlo Esposito have the best agents in Hollywood.
                                         
                                        They really do. It's so odd to me.
                                         
    
                                        Like, when I first... J.K. Simmons's first exposure for me was Law and Order way back in the day.
                                         
                                        played the, he was the go-to for the district attorney would go to for psychology stuff.
                                         
                                        He was a psychology expert and would come and speak on, you know, behalf or against whoever was
                                         
                                        on trial. And at the time, I meant, oh, he's an interesting guy. I didn't really think much about
                                         
                                        it. It just seemed like a bit part on a show. But then suddenly he was in everything always forever.
                                         
                                        And here we are now where everyone loves J.K. And they should, rightly so. The guy's awesome.
                                         
                                        Oh, they should absolutely love him. Did you ever see Weplash, by the way?
                                         
                                        saw whiplash.
                                         
    
                                        Oh, dude.
                                         
                                        Please, please.
                                         
                                        It's like the ultimate J.K. Simmons, right?
                                         
                                        It is one of the greatest

                                        kind of like, oh, God, I see why
                                         
                                        he's doing what he's doing, but man, he's,
                                         
                                        he's
                                         
                                        how does it stack up to
                                         
                                        Cave Johnson from the portal games.
                                         
    
                                        Because I love that character.
                                         
                                        They're like neck and neck, really.
                                         
                                        Unfortunately.
                                         
                                        Yeah, I love that character.
                                         
                                        But again, he's just great.
                                         
                                        So I hear he's in a thing and I go, oh,

                                        Whiplash? Okay. You could find out.
                                         
                                        And that kid is in it.
                                         
                                        Miles Teller, who's,
                                         
                                        nope, currently not streaming, by the way.
                                         
                                        Damn it. Unfortunately.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        All the things I want to watch,
                                         
    
                                        not streaming. I'm looking at a list of like who
                                         
                                        does all the voices for the other
                                         
                                        Eminems. Not a lot of people I recognize
                                         
                                        and all of a sudden they veer off
                                         
                                        into Martin the Geico
                                         
                                        and the Humpty Camel
                                         
                                        and that sort of thing. But
                                         
                                        they say Orange is voiced

                                        Eric Kersberger.
                                         
                                        Who's that guy? I don't know
                                         
                                        but I could have sworn that it was
                                         
                                        Pat Nosswald. I think
                                         
                                        something is incorrect. I think something is incorrect
                                         
                                        because I absolutely remember.
                                         
                                        Could have been a one-off or something?
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Was the green Eminem, the girl?
                                         
                                        Was she ever anybody famous?
                                         
                                        No, it's somebody named Cree Summer or Larissa Murray.
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        And I don't recognize either of those names.
                                         
                                        Yeah, those names are not familiar to me.
                                         
                                        I always thought, for some reason, my head always goes to Paula Abdul.
                                         
    
                                        Does that make any sense?
                                         
                                        No.
                                         
                                        None.
                                         
                                        There's no sense in that?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        None.
                                         
                                        Oh, wait.
                                         
                                        Bebe B. B.B. Newworth didn't.
                                         
    
                                        it for a minute. Someone says in the chat.
                                         
                                        Is that true? Really?
                                         
                                        I believe that. Okay.
                                         
                                        Yeah. This website

                                        Oh, we did see Larissa Murray in the movie
                                         
                                        Rain of Fire, apparently.

                                        those guys are okay by the way? The guys who fell into
                                         
                                        they're okay. They took them to a hospital
                                         
                                        to be safe. They got them all
                                         
                                        showered up. They're good. They took them in the hospital
                                         
                                        to be safe. Everything's fine. They didn't
                                         
                                        take a bunch of chocolate into their spleen or
                                         
                                        anything. They're okay.
                                         
    
                                        So, well, well, it's a good thing. It's a good thing.
                                         
                                        We weren't responsible for saving them, Scott, because we watched them fall in, and then we would be like, what it would be funny if this is the origin story of the talking M&M guys?
                                         
                                        Hey, who does the voice of that?
                                         
                                        At least you remember what got us on this track, because I couldn't remember how we did.
                                         
                                        I have no memory of it.
                                         
                                        All right, we're going to take a break.
                                         
                                        When we come back, spend a little time with our old pal Bill, you know?
                                         
                                        Bill's pretty great.
                                         
    
                                        I haven't talked to him in a couple weeks because we didn't have a show last Wednesday or Tuesday.
                                         
                                        So we're going to do that today.

                                        Cod Name Rocky from their brand new EP entitled Blueprint.
                                         
                                        And it's, for an EP, it's got a ton of tracks.
                                         
                                        So it's almost, it's, it feels like an LP in an EP's body.

                                        I don't think.

                                        Bill, welcome back to the show.
                                         
                                        Hello, you know, I was in a scow band in college, right?
                                         
                                        No.
                                         
    
                                        We do know that.
                                         
                                        I didn't know that.
                                         
                                        Did you say this before and I just forgot?
                                         
                                        You probably did.
                                         
                                        Probably a long time ago.
                                         
                                        What was the name of this band?
                                         
                                        It was called the joystick generation.
                                         
                                        Oh, my Lord.
                                         
    
                                        We played almost exclusively Real Big Fish covers.
                                         
                                        That's fantastic.
                                         
                                        Really?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I don't you want.
                                         
                                        The Big Fish was covering somebody else.
                                         
                                        Would you cover their cover of another?
                                         
                                        right? I love it. I love it.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, I'm doing
                                         
                                        Hungry Like the Wolf
                                         
                                        by Real Big Fish
                                         
                                        Covering Duran, Durand
                                         
                                        Fantastic. I love it. Oh, that's so good.
                                         
                                        That's really great. Do you have any old recordings or anything
                                         
                                        that we could ever share on the show of you doing this?
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah, I do.
                                         
    
                                        I think maybe it's time.
                                         
                                        What did you, what was your
                                         
                                        band or job in the band? Were you singing? Were you playing?
                                         
                                        I played guitar and I sang.
                                         
                                        Didn't know this?
                                         
                                        Yeah. I did.
                                         
                                        Finally, you still have the urge to do you
                                         
                                        still have the urge these days to pick it up pick it up pick it up i do i just bought a guitar last year i
                                         
    
                                        i've been playing it recently really i didn't know you're a little troubadour guy that's no idea
                                         
                                        oh yeah that's cool all right well learn something new about our friends every day well bill it's
                                         
                                        good to have you back we're we're gonna talk about uh whatever creative endeavor you're working on
                                         
                                        right now to try to inspire makers who listen to the show to go make their own stuff what do you
                                         
                                        what do you got going i wanted to teach everyone about a neat technique a thing i like one of my
                                         
                                        favorite things to do on my lathe called nerling do you know what a neural is no nerling
                                         
                                        they're like third generation Pokemon yeah kn uraling right that's right oh yeah so what is it
                                         
                                        yeah uh so you got like uh probably a sound uh level machine what are those called mixer a mixer
                                         
    
                                        a mixer there we got the i have a miami sound level machine that's my uh the uh the knobs on it has
                                         
                                        have a texture, right, to make them more grippy?
                                         
                                        Little ribs for my pleasure, yes.
                                         
                                        Yeah, there you go.
                                         
                                        Those ribs are nerls.
                                         
                                        Oh.
                                         
                                        So wait, some nerling is using those to nerl something, I guess.
                                         
                                        Yeah, adding a texture to something, usually a cylinder to make it more grippy.
                                         
    
                                        So you'll see this in a lot of mechanical things, a lot of knobs.
                                         
                                        Like my camera has a bunch of different neurals on it.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I think trying to turn knobs that don't have neurals.
                                         
                                        I know.
                                         
                                        Yeah, right?
                                         
                                        They just slipped.
                                         
                                        They slip in your hand.
                                         
    
                                        It's like I have no control over them.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        So I got a new tool for my lady that came with a new neural.
                                         
                                        So I've been playing with neurons.
                                         
                                        I've been kind of learning a little bit more about it.
                                         
                                        And I thought I'd share.
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
    
                                        Because it's the sort of thing that once you know about it, you look around the world, you see them everywhere.
                                         
                                        Yeah, I've seen my dad used to have something that was like a roller with a handle.
                                         
                                        And then, you know, think of a, oh my gosh, I can't think of another example of what this is.
                                         
                                        but basically on an axel on the end of this roller was, I guess, a neural.
                                         
                                        It was like a textured thing and you would use it to like, I don't know what he used it for, actually.
                                         
                                        He rubbed it on something.
                                         
                                        Don't know what.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        So the way these work, I'm dropping a quick video clip in the chat there.
                                         
                                        The way it works is you have the tool you want to add a texture to.
                                         
                                        You have the cylinder.
                                         
                                        You put that in your lane, then it gets spun around.
                                         
                                        and then you take your nerling tool
                                         
                                        which is a disc that has grooves cut into it
                                         
                                        and you press it into the surface
                                         
    
                                        until it basically leaves an imprint
                                         
                                        in the metal surface.
                                         
                                        I did a bunch of these on my
                                         
                                        ecto goggles and it has a couple of different
                                         
                                        textures. There's a straight
                                         
                                        neural. There's also a diamond neural.
                                         
                                        There's a bunch of different patterns you can do.
                                         
                                        Jeez, it feels like you're
                                         
    
                                        limited by the width of your
                                         
                                        neural and how do you make sure
                                         
                                        that as you go up and down that
                                         
                                        that rod that the um that the neurals line up right because it feels like you could
                                         
                                        accidentally offset your you are correct yeah so there are different side the the um the disc in
                                         
                                        the nerling tool there are different sized ones so you can have different um scale of texture on
                                         
                                        there uh and then as far as getting it to line up perfectly a little little bit of uh trial and
                                         
                                        error sure to work correctly i mean is there a trick in the end or is there a trick in the end or
                                         
    
                                        is every single time you try this trial in air?
                                         
                                        A little bit of a trick.
                                         
                                        You kind of have to get the diameter kind of close.
                                         
                                        But really what I found is you've got to mash the tool in there
                                         
                                        so that it starts forming the grooves correctly.
                                         
                                        You really have to use a lot more force than you think to press it in there.
                                         
                                        So it's a lot like gears almost by the time.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
    
                                        And a lot of experimenting too.
                                         
                                        Like I said, though, I'm still learning.
                                         
                                        I still have a lot to learn about this process.
                                         
                                        But it is very cool.
                                         
                                        this knob that you made is gorgeous.
                                         
                                        I feel like I'm looking at a technique's turntable knob.
                                         
                                        I guess that's how they make these, either industrially or...
                                         
                                        Manufactured and cool looking.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Yeah, it feels really good to add that kind of detail to a piece.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        The sort of thing they would do in a factory.
                                         
                                        Oh, look at this.
                                         
                                        And now you've got like an angled neural.
                                         
                                        Oh, and it's doing like the cross hatching.
                                         
                                        It has two different wheels on it that spin in opposite directions to cut the diamond pattern in two different directions, yeah.
                                         
    
                                        Look at that.
                                         
                                        Oh, dude, this is so cool.
                                         
                                        So is this how this always is done?
                                         
                                        I mean, I've used lots of knobs or that had this texture on it.
                                         
                                        Have I always been, I always assumed a robot did this.
                                         
                                        Maybe it did.
                                         
                                        I don't know.
                                         
                                        Sure.
                                         
    
                                        There are a little pack of standing children with the box cutters that were.
                                         
                                        I don't know.
                                         
                                        It's hard to say.
                                         
                                        bit yeah so anyway so any any machined knobs are going to be done this way even with an automated
                                         
                                        like turret leave this could all be automated but um the knobs on your mixer are probably
                                         
                                        cast plastic the original is probably made like this and then they cast the parts in plastic
                                         
                                        now you're you're you're i never even thought of this before mine's all mine's neural to hell
                                         
                                        and back this mixer yeah yeah and you're gonna now you're gonna walk around everywhere and
                                         
    
                                        see neurals everywhere i mean if you're if it's plastic knobs you're probably just dealing with
                                         
                                        mold but if it's metal labs then yeah for sure you're looking at uh neural i swear
                                         
                                        nerals is something somebody has used in some fantasy or cartoon or kid context like there's a
                                         
                                        creature called a neural or something i don't know why it's driving me crazy something there's a d andd
                                         
                                        monster called a neural isn't there that might be what i'm thinking of not a neural but like a narl
                                         
                                        narl narwhar wall narwhal i don't know it's in a bug me all day though um wow that
                                         
                                        This stuff looks like pro, dude.
                                         
                                        Well, that's what you are.
                                         
    
                                        It really does.
                                         
                                        I don't know why I'm saying.
                                         
                                        It looks like a pro.
                                         
                                        You are a pro.
                                         
                                        What am I saying?
                                         
                                        You're a pro.
                                         
                                        This is very cool.
                                         
                                        Any other application?
                                         
    
                                        Tell me what this metal is.
                                         
                                        What are we using?
                                         
                                        Most of this is aluminum in this video, but I've been working a lot with brass.
                                         
                                        You can do the same thing.
                                         
                                        It'll do brass or steel.
                                         
                                        Steel will work.
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        You have to do anything to soften, like heat up the metal to make it more pliable?
                                         
    
                                        You can.
                                         
                                        It doesn't seem like it's super necessary.
                                         
                                        for this, but you can heat up the metal to anneal it.
                                         
                                        Aluminum and brass could both be annealed that way.
                                         
                                        But it didn't seem necessary for this.
                                         
                                        And there's nothing that's pre-neurled the way you need it,
                                         
                                        because you're making a replica of a thing where it matters that you're duplicating
                                         
                                        the exactness of the prop, right?
                                         
    
                                        Right.
                                         
                                        I got to make the knob the right diameter first and then add the neural.
                                         
                                        Gotcha.
                                         
                                        You can't go to a hardware store and go, yeah, I need a four-inch,
                                         
                                        or four-eight-s-s-inch, a freaking neural.
                                         
                                        They're not going to be able to give you what you need.
                                         
                                        No, they're not.
                                         
                                        And this is not the sort of thing you're going to buy at Home Depot either.
                                         
    
                                        This is more of a specialty project or a tool.
                                         
                                        Oh, that's it.
                                         
                                        Bobby's right.
                                         
                                        Sorry, it's that the cat, Garfield, the other cat in Garfield is normal.
                                         
                                        That's what I'm thinking of.
                                         
                                        That's exactly it.
                                         
                                        It's normal.
                                         
                                        Oh, my Lord.
                                         
    
                                        Now I can rest easy.
                                         
                                        Anyway, this is really rad, dude.
                                         
                                        Super, super cool.
                                         
                                        I love it.
                                         
                                        I feel bad for, I feel, Bob.
                                         
                                        Bad for Bobby, who's going to have to follow this?
                                         
                                        Yeah, I know, right?
                                         
                                        What science magic is he going to have to come up with?
                                         
    
                                        Right.
                                         
                                        Something neural-like, maybe, Bobby.
                                         
                                        Think about it there, bud.
                                         
                                        Anyway, very cool.
                                         
                                        And are you, so is this a project you've already done or is this one you're working on?
                                         
                                        I think you already did this one, right?
                                         
                                        Yeah, that's the ectoggle.
                                         
                                        There's a few knobs on that that got nerled.
                                         
    
                                        But my Hellboy Bullet has some neurons on it and some project coming up, well, for sure,
                                         
                                        because I'm just excited to add neurons to everything.
                                         
                                        Well, now you're a neural.
                                         
                                        pro when you have a brand new hammer everything looks like a nail so it does yeah
                                         
                                        the other cool fun thing too is like now that if you didn't know what nerling is now you know the
                                         
                                        vocab i find that when it comes to making and tools once you know the vocab it becomes a lot
                                         
                                        easier to find information about it because you can go google it and look it up yeah it's like
                                         
                                        mMO uh talk it's like uh lfg and uh uh i can't think anything else uh tank and tank dps like none of
                                         
    
                                        These make sense to normal people until you are in the world.
                                         
                                        And now you're not to search it.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Now you can search that stuff.
                                         
                                        That makes sense.
                                         
                                        I get that.
                                         
                                        Oh, that was, look at the thing.
                                         
                                        Looks like a weaner.
                                         
    
                                        Anyway, uh,

                                        We're required to have so much science, percentage of science content every week, and we missed it last week.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, exactly.
                                         
                                        If we don't hit that quota, we're in real do-doo.
                                         
                                        Yeah, so now's the time.
                                         
                                        Science.
                                         
                                        Science, that's right.
                                         
                                        It's science with Bobby.
                                         
                                        Oh, he was here, and then he hung up.
                                         
                                        Nope, he's back.
                                         
    
                                        The science of vanishing Bobby.
                                         
                                        Now he's back, everybody.
                                         
                                        He has not vanished.
                                         
                                        He is with us.
                                         
                                        Bobby Frankenberger.
                                         
                                        Welcome to the program.
                                         
                                        How are you?
                                         
                                        I'm doing great.
                                         
    
                                        I did that thing where I started a.
                                         
                                        call with I don't know who oh that happens I feel you that's happened to me many times
                                         
                                        do not worry hey you did a great job last week while Brian was out so thanks for that
                                         
                                        oh man thanks I I had a blast I don't know if I've ever told either of you this but it was
                                         
                                        it's always been sort of a like I always wanted to do a a daily sort of morning show as well
                                         
                                        and I tried partly with the old thing I did the shadowcasters network and
                                         
                                        and that never worked out.
                                         
                                        So it's a format that I super love.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, but now that you've done it,
                                         
                                        are you like, oh, man, dodge that bullet.
                                         
                                        I don't have to do that.
                                         
                                        No, I was jazzed afterwards.
                                         
                                        Like, just the energy of the content and the format
                                         
                                        is really what I like so much about it.
                                         
                                        I mean, it's such a commitment.
                                         
                                        You know, it's fun for the first couple of years.
                                         
    
                                        Right, right, right.
                                         
                                        And all of a sudden, it's definitely,
                                         
                                        I'm definitely in a, definitely in a,
                                         
                                        Definitely at an easy position to say how much I love it because I don't have to do it every morning.
                                         
                                        It's a lot of work, but I feel you on the point of like the energy of it and the structure.
                                         
                                        Part of the reason I even approached it in the first place was like, I want to make this thing that is already a thing somewhat on radio, but I hate how it's going.
                                         
                                        I hate where it's headed, but I like this energy, and I want to make, I want to make something like that.
                                         
                                        So, you're speaking where my head was at in 2011.
                                         
    
                                        But also like, doing a show where you're just kind of getting to be you, you know, and because, and I know you're you on other things, but when you're doing stuff like, you know, core or, you know, one of your other shows, you still have a purpose, a drive.
                                         
                                        direction and you kind of want to stay in that lane but you know a show like a like a daily talk
                                         
                                        show where you're just existing yeah and and also I like the structure of it as well because
                                         
                                        I'm very structured in the way that I like to produce things yeah you're a structured guy
                                         
                                        very structured I have a I'm sending you a picture um in the thing I I played around with that
                                         
                                        uh oh hey dally scott johnson eating tacos at an office depot parking lot who is this guy this is not me
                                         
                                        it's a bunch of scott johnson's yeah different dude than me but yeah this has been the problem i did one
                                         
                                        where scott i did one that said scott johnson drawing or something and it found it basically did
                                         
    
                                        pencil drawings of all nine of these and no one of them looked like me but one vaguely kind of had my
                                         
                                        face a little bit so this is the problem you run into if you're not really truly internet famous
                                         
                                        These combos are going to be weird.
                                         
                                        You know what I really like about this compilation, though, is that the AI behind it has done some sort of determination that if the person is eating tacos in an office depot parking lot, they've all got to be big heavyset dudes.
                                         
                                        And they're almost all in parking garages too, which is.
                                         
                                        But the heavy set part, that's interesting because what that is is that's, and they have.
                                         
                                        have a biases link. You can look and see what
                                         
                                        some of the biases are. But there's
                                         
    
                                        bias in AI whether we
                                         
                                        want to acknowledge this or not. We probably should acknowledge
                                         
                                        it. That's important. But there's biases
                                         
                                        in there whether we know we've injected
                                         
                                        them in there or not. Because at the end of the day,
                                         
                                        as smart as you make it, it's still people
                                         
                                        building it, subconsciously inserting things without
                                         
                                        even knowing you're doing it.
                                         
    
                                        And there it is. Well, if he's
                                         
                                        eating tacos in a parking lot, this must be a big
                                         
                                        fat guy in the parking lot. Yeah, there are no thin
                                         
                                        guys in this collagic
                                         
                                        pictures yeah well top right is the thinnest like but he's still got a little bit of a
                                         
                                        an overhang and he is double hand in it dude double fisting that some of these people are in
                                         
                                        an office too i just realized that it's not all parking garages it's like yeah but some of them in
                                         
                                        an office with cars parked in it yeah yeah that's pretty nuts pretty nuts i love it well the part
                                         
    
                                        the the the uh unfortunately it's nothing like the real thing the real thing happened in an outdoor
                                         
                                        parking lot of a yeah of a of a of a of a oh maybe you have to
                                         
                                        just add the office max part maybe this would have solved everything i don't know and that'd be just
                                         
                                        actual photos the surveillance photos of me eating tacos that'd be great i really hope that somewhere in

                                        Still think about season three a lot.
                                         
    
                                        Season three is a hell of a thing.
                                         
                                        Anyway, well, Bobby, you've brought some science, I assume, today.
                                         
                                        Tell us what you got.
                                         
                                        What are we doing?
                                         
                                        Speaking of neurology, neural, you know, you were invoking that a moment ago.
                                         
                                        It is kind of neural because I wanted to talk about optical illusions.
                                         
                                        Oh.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
    
                                        Have you guys seen going around there's this obstacle?
                                         
                                        It's a dress, and I know it's blue and green meat,
                                         
                                        Green needle.
                                         
                                        Got it.
                                         
                                        There's a new one going around.
                                         
                                        It's called the Black Hole Illusion.
                                         
                                        Have you seen this?
                                         
                                        No.
                                         
    
                                        I don't think I have.
                                         
                                        Look it up now.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
                                        Let me send you, let me send a link to it.
                                         
                                        It's a, well, it's a New York Times thing, so I, God, man.
                                         
                                        I don't know, I hate that.
                                         
                                        You could probably Google Black Hole illusion.
                                         
                                        Oh, I found it.
                                         
    
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        Sign to explain the new black hole optical illusion why it's so trippy.
                                         
                                        Okay, so I'm looking at it now.
                                         
                                        Right.
                                         
                                        Oh, there it is right there.
                                         
                                        So look at it and tell me.
                                         
                                        It looks like it's growing, even though...
                                         
                                        Yeah, it looks like you should be, like, almost getting sucked into it.
                                         
    
                                        And if you look at it, it looks like it's growing or you're getting closer, you're falling into it.
                                         
                                        That's amazing. Yeah.
                                         
                                        Weird me out.
                                         
                                        What's great about this illusion is that, like many optical illusions, knowing how it works, and for the chat who's watching, that's not the black hole illusion that's on the screen right now.
                                         
                                        Oh, it's not?
                                         
                                        But it is.
                                         
                                        No, it's not.
                                         
                                        this is what it said okay wait so which one do you guys have do you have a link did you put i have one
                                         
    
                                        that's dots that's uh yeah it should be like a big hole with a sort of stippled looking around the edge
                                         
                                        um oh okay popular mechanics has it i can send you an image why is
                                         
                                        i hate this hold on here i put i put it in the in the discord the discord oh yeah this is totally
                                         
                                        different than what i had okay yeah all right i'm bringing this so so and if you look at it
                                         
                                        What's great about this illusion and what's great about many optical illusions is that knowing what's happening or knowing all about it doesn't make it not happen, right?
                                         
                                        And it's because it's optical illusions are being, you know, they're somehow affected by how your brain works in the limitations of your brain.
                                         
                                        So optical illusions in general, so your eyes can only, like, you see, like, you see,
                                         
                                        the world because light comes into your eyes and your eyes can only send that information
                                         
    
                                        that it's receiving to your brain in a limited number of ways.
                                         
                                        Sure.
                                         
                                        Right?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Our brains are what are actually telling us what we're seeing because your brain, in different
                                         
                                        parts of your brain, are doing the interpretation and the actual perception of the image.
                                         
                                        But your eyes are, it's all based on the information that your eyes are sending to your
                                         
                                        brain but your brain is just got these rods and cones and it's just sending stimulation to the
                                         
    
                                        rods and cones in your eyes to your brain and your brain has to do all the work um the
                                         
                                        but the thing is your brain there could be ambiguous pieces of information in those in those
                                         
                                        signals that that your brain your eyes are sending to your brain and your brain hates
                                         
                                        ambiguity yeah it wants accuracy that's what it's looking for yeah it wants to
                                         
                                        To understand everything, whether you like it or not, it will try as hard as it can to make sense of all this information that's coming in.
                                         
                                        And sometimes when your brain gets confused, it has to make its best guess at what's going on.
                                         
                                        So this one I just put up on stream, this is not the same, but the principle is the same.
                                         
                                        If you stare, if you look at the dots as they disappear and come back, these pink dots, it's just blank when they're gone in the space that they're not no longer inhabiting.
                                         
    
                                        It's just blank on this gray background.
                                         
                                        But if you stare at that plus in the middle, the disappearing space has become green.
                                         
                                        Yes, yes, right.
                                         
                                        And it works every time, even though I know it isn't green, my brain's like, no, it's green.
                                         
                                        I can tell it's green.
                                         
                                        And that's a really interesting one because these different types of color illusions that you have where you have negative colors that pop up and everything, those are happening because it's taking advantage of just a neural pathway in your brain.
                                         
                                        where color information is sent to a part of your brain that processes that information.
                                         
                                        And a lot of that information is based on how closely related to colors are.
                                         
    
                                        And if they're sitting right next to each other, because your brain has to make quick calculations based on that, on those colors.
                                         
                                        And so it can make mistakes.
                                         
                                        Sure.
                                         
                                        And so your brain has to make all these guesses all the time.
                                         
                                        And the guesses are based on past experience, sometimes the wiring of neural.
                                         
                                        of the neurology
                                         
                                        and also based
                                         
                                        on your memories and stuff like that.
                                         
    
                                        Depth perception is a really good example of this.
                                         
                                        If you have two types of depth perception,
                                         
                                        you have binocular depth perception
                                         
                                        that uses both of your eyes.
                                         
                                        That's for stuff that's close to your face,
                                         
                                        the difference between the images.
                                         
                                        It's what makes VR work
                                         
                                        because your brain is calculating
                                         
    
                                        the differences between the images
                                         
                                        that your two eyes are seeing.
                                         
                                        But anything that's beyond, say,
                                         
                                        an arm's length in front of you are called is monocular depth perception it uses different depth cues
                                         
                                        and all of those are based on your past experience of things if you look far if you look at something
                                         
                                        far away if if an image if something appears to be obstructed by something else if you see a building
                                         
                                        with a tree in front of it if it looks like the building is behind the tree because it's being
                                         
                                        blocked by part of the tree then your brain is going to tell you that that that
                                         
    
                                        that that building is farther away than the tree.
                                         
                                        Oh, right.
                                         
                                        It reminds me that car one.
                                         
                                        There's a famous one where there's three identical cars parked on the same street,
                                         
                                        but because of the perspective, here it is right here,
                                         
                                        the perspective of the street, the car way up in front looks much larger,
                                         
                                        and the middle one looks like middle size and the one in the rear looks the same.
                                         
                                        But if you Photoshop out the background, they're the same exact size.
                                         
    
                                        But my brain won't let me...
                                         
                                        I'm looking at it right now.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        They all look different to me.
                                         
                                        But clearly...
                                         
                                        I'm using my fingers to compare them right now, and you're right, they're the same.
                                         
                                        But I cannot convince my brain while I'm looking at it that that top car is the same size as the bottom.
                                         
                                        Yeah, which is nuts.
                                         
    
                                        Like, that's just a wild freaking here chat.
                                         
                                        You can see the end result, which is you Photoshop it out, and then look, that's all the same car.
                                         
                                        In fact, they're not even there
                                         
                                        They're photoshopped into the image to begin with
                                         
                                        But they're exactly the same size
                                         
                                        They just don't look like that.
                                         
                                        And even the photoshopped one
                                         
                                        The one that's farther away
                                         
    
                                        Still looks a little bit bigger
                                         
                                        And it's because of the
                                         
                                        You're seeing obstruction
                                         
                                        Each car is the one in front of it
                                         
                                        Is obstructing the next one
                                         
                                        So your brain is saying
                                         
                                        Oh, those should be
                                         
                                        Like if this one is in front of the other one
                                         
    
                                        Then that one should be
                                         
                                        bigger if it's sort of appearing the same size it must actually be bigger in order to be
                                         
                                        it's like so such a complicated circuit right yeah um and uh the black hole illusion
                                         
                                        to get back to that cool illusion yeah is um is is that's why it's working it's it's taking
                                         
                                        advantage of some of these shortcuts that your brain uses to to to help you operate in everyday life
                                         
                                        Because specifically what this illusion they think is going on in this illusion is the sort of heuristics and shortcuts that your brain uses to function in a world where things are moving.
                                         
                                        So you may know that from the moment light hits your eye to when you actually perceive it, there's about 100 milliseconds of lag.
                                         
                                        It takes some time for your brain to perceive the information.
                                         
    
                                        that hits your retina. And 100 milliseconds, that's less than a second. That seems fast. But when
                                         
                                        like, when you're like got something like a baseball flying at your face or you're driving a car,
                                         
                                        that's, 100 milliseconds is a long time. It is a long time. Yeah. But your brain makes, gives you the
                                         
                                        false perception that everything's happening or in order to compensate for that lag, what it does is
                                         
                                        it takes up, it takes in a lot of information and makes some assumptions about what's like
                                         
                                        to happen next. And it tells you
                                         
                                        this is probably what's happening
                                         
                                        right now, even though
                                         
    
                                        you're not, you don't quite have the information
                                         
                                        yet. You know what I mean? Right, right.
                                         
                                        But it reminds me though, I mean, it's a good
                                         
                                        reminder that historically
                                         
                                        this F's with people.
                                         
                                        Like, you see
                                         
                                        something happen in the sky and now
                                         
                                        we have a perfectly reasonable
                                         
    
                                        cogent sort of description of
                                         
                                        scientifically what's happening in the sky.
                                         
                                        But when you see this phenomenon
                                         
                                        as a cave person,
                                         
                                        you can only ascribe it to something magical, right?
                                         
                                        Because you just don't know,
                                         
                                        because your brain won't let you see what's really happening.
                                         
                                        You're just seeing whatever the illusion is of what's happening.
                                         
    
                                        And I think that's another good reason why this stuff's fun to study
                                         
                                        because it also can just change our...
                                         
                                        It's why I love optical illusions and sensory illusions in general
                                         
                                        because it doesn't just work with sight
                                         
                                        is because it really, to me, is a very strong, humbling,
                                         
                                        reminder of what you're talking about.
                                         
                                        You hear all the time, people claim to be experts in a particular realm, and so that
                                         
                                        gives them the, you know, the veracity to make the statements that they're making.
                                         
    
                                        Like, when you talk about UFOs all the time, it's easy to say, like, oh, the average
                                         
                                        Joe on the ground sees something weird in the sky.
                                         
                                        Well, they just, their brain was messing with them, and they misperceived something.
                                         
                                        So they're not seeing a UFO.
                                         
                                        But when a pilot tells you, I'm experienced and I know what I'm seeing, and I saw something
                                         
                                        weird in space then it becomes harder like then you start to think well they know what
                                         
                                        they're talking about but you got to remember that it doesn't matter you can look at
                                         
                                        these optical illusions yeah and know you know how they work no exactly how they
                                         
    
                                        work and it still fools you it's still the perception is different and it's so you it's
                                         
                                        very humbling to remember you are your brain your your your reality that you
                                         
                                        are experiencing every day is what like psych neurologists and everything we'll call a constructed
                                         
                                        reality your perception of reality is is a constructed reality by your brain yeah right yeah you're
                                         
                                        everything you're seeing is not literally what your senses are perceiving it's what your brain
                                         
                                        has interpreted that all your senses together the one advantage we have is that we we are this one
                                         
                                        species that I'm aware of who can reason through it. You know what I mean? Can see the thing that
                                         
                                        is fooling us. Like you do it with a dog and they see like a, you know, I take a fake moose head that
                                         
    
                                        hangs on the wall and aim it at the dog. The dogs go, it's a threat. It's a moose. I need to
                                         
                                        kill it or bark or run, you know. They don't have a way to stop for a minute and go, oh weird,
                                         
                                        that looked like a real moose anyway and move on with their lives. They don't do that. Right. But we
                                         
                                        So to get back to the black hole illusion specifically, I said it had to do with, this was an illusion that was created by scientists to take advantage of this lag time compensation that your brain does.
                                         
                                        So what it's doing is when you're looking at the hole, the sort of like dots all around the outside.
                                         
                                        And I really encourage anybody who's listening at home to, again, Google black hole illusion.
                                         
                                        You'll see a big black hole that starts to face.
                                         
                                        out around the edges and then there's also this like stippling like like a bunch of dots all
                                         
    
                                        around on the outside too and what it's doing is it's sort of it's sort of mimicking the the smear
                                         
                                        and blur around your perception of when you're moving forward yeah and so that's what it's
                                         
                                        telling it's what it was designed to do is to sort of trick your brain into thinking that that
                                         
                                        that the edges look like you're moving forward and so the black hole that you stare at
                                         
                                        out appears to be growing because your brain is telling you, oh, you're moving forward now.
                                         
                                        So in order to compensate for this 100 millisecond lag time, we need to appropriately and
                                         
                                        accurately make the size of this hole that's in front of you get bigger so that you will be
                                         
                                        able to accurately gauge how close you're getting, right?
                                         
    
                                        Here's a really cool, really fascinating part about this illusion.
                                         
                                        They did a study about this.
                                         
                                        This is why it's in the news, actually.
                                         
                                        They did a study tracking people's eyes while they look at this illusion
                                         
                                        and measuring their pupillary dilation, how their pupils dilate.
                                         
                                        And they found that not only when people look at this illusion do their pupils dily,
                                         
                                        but the more intensely you experience the illusion, the more your pupils dilate.
                                         
                                        And the reason that's fascinating is because it implies.
                                         
    
                                        that what your brain is doing
                                         
                                        is not only giving you the perception
                                         
                                        that you're about to enter a dark
                                         
                                        hole by making it look like it's getting
                                         
                                        closer, but it's preparing
                                         
                                        your eyes to be inside
                                         
                                        dark dark. Oh, weird.
                                         
                                        That's wild. Yeah. Weird.
                                         
    
                                        By dilating so that you
                                         
                                        will, you will be able to, once you
                                         
                                        get there, see better. How do people
                                         
                                        there's an illusion, my hand looks closer
                                         
                                        to the screen makes me look like I have a big hand.
                                         
                                        How, how
                                         
                                        starting to get all trippy here. How,
                                         
                                        Who sits down and comes up with this, though?
                                         
    
                                        That's the part that blows me away.
                                         
                                        Because nobody, this isn't a natural forming phenomena.
                                         
                                        Suddenly there's like a bunch of stippled dots in a hole that looks like it's moving.
                                         
                                        And we went, oh, what's this?
                                         
                                        And we study it.
                                         
                                        Somebody had to think of this or see something similar and go, well, what if we added, blah?
                                         
                                        Like, that's what blows me away.
                                         
                                        I'm looking at a page, this thing called Flex Your Brain, this website, and they've got like hundreds of these.
                                         
    
                                        And I'm just like, well, who did this?
                                         
                                        Who's sitting around coming up with this?
                                         
                                        I don't get it.
                                         
                                        blows my mind.
                                         
                                        There's another one called the Asahi illusion
                                         
                                        that is older
                                         
                                        that looks like a sun,
                                         
                                        sunlight. I just put that in the...
                                         
    
                                        That's another move forward, move back one.
                                         
                                        If you move forward into it, it gets really bright,
                                         
                                        you pull back, it goes dark.
                                         
                                        So what this one does is it gives you the illusion
                                         
                                        that the center of this image is brighter
                                         
                                        than the white surrounding the image,
                                         
                                        even though it's the same.
                                         
                                        and it's because it's designed to look like sunlight shining through leaves
                                         
    
                                        or through a cloud or something like that.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        And so the opposite happens here.
                                         
                                        They measure people's pupil dilation.
                                         
                                        And when you look at this, your pupils constrict.
                                         
                                        Because your brain thinks you're looking at the bright sun.
                                         
                                        Rock.
                                         
                                        Even though the white in the center of the image is exactly the same as the white of the paper or website that you're...
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, it's a static image.
                                         
                                        If you do this thing, though, where you go toward it.
                                         
                                        and then away from it and then toward it again?
                                         
                                        That is a trip, that one.
                                         
                                        Oh, that does.
                                         
                                        I just did that, and it kind of like almost dims and brightens, yeah.
                                         
                                        That makes no effing the sense.
                                         
                                        So optical illusions, it happens auditorially as well, different kinds of illusions, even tactile illusions.
                                         
    
                                        It's just your brain trying to make sense of perception.
                                         
                                        There's famous auditory illusions.
                                         
                                        My favorite is the auditory ones are.
                                         
                                        really cool because you can hijack your brain
                                         
                                        part of this
                                         
                                        perception loop
                                         
                                        has to do with your
                                         
                                        memories because your brain needs to know
                                         
    
                                        how has this happened in the past
                                         
                                        and that's going to impact how you
                                         
                                        how you interpret it so like a visual
                                         
                                        example is when you know that image
                                         
                                        of the beautiful woman versus the witch
                                         
                                        the old lady the hag yeah yeah and once
                                         
                                        you see one of them
                                         
                                        it's hard to see the other one
                                         
    
                                        right well it's kind of like this
                                         
                                        I have this five so here's an auditory verse
                                         
                                        version. I have this file that is supposed to be the Gettysburg Address as read by Morgan Freeman. However,
                                         
                                        here's how it sounds when I add just a little tweak. Listen to this.
                                         
                                        See, that sounds like Brian saying P-N-M-M-M-M-K-M-K-E-M-K-E-M.
                                         
                                        Wow, it's crazy. Isn't that weird?
                                         
                                        It just plays with your mind, man.
                                         
                                        No, you can't even, you can't convince me that that's not you saying P-N-M. Yeah, that's you saying P-N-M. I hear it.
                                         
    
                                        Now that's all I can hear, is me saying P-M-M.
                                         
                                        So there's another good example.
                                         
                                        A good example, you know the Batman Pooping Snakes, famous one?
                                         
                                        Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We have that.
                                         
                                        Let's play it. Let's play it for people.
                                         
                                        It's so hard to, yeah, let's hear it.
                                         
                                        Okay, pooping snakes.
                                         
                                        Hold on.
                                         
    
                                        That's my favorite one.
                                         
                                        It's pretty great.
                                         
                                        Okay, here it is right here.
                                         
                                        Take the Batman pooping snakes.
                                         
                                        Keith, think of Batman pooping snakes.
                                         
                                        It's all I've got.
                                         
                                        It's all I can hear now, yeah.
                                         
                                        So you can't hear anything else, but if I tell you, and get ready to play it again,
                                         
    
                                        if I tell you that what it's actually saying is take the path that moonbeams make,
                                         
                                        Okay, now let's play it.
                                         
                                        You should be able to hear that now.
                                         
                                        Take the path that moonbeams make.
                                         
                                        Take the path that moonbeams make.
                                         
                                        Yeah, of course.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I totally hear it.
                                         
    
                                        And it's because it has to do with that memory loop.
                                         
                                        Oh, now I have new information in order to process it.
                                         
                                        So all that kind of stuff.
                                         
                                        Johnny and Green Needle and Brainstorm and, yeah.
                                         
                                        The last thing I'll say that has to do with this,
                                         
                                        there's actually you can take home a piece of information about this
                                         
                                        that will improve your life.
                                         
                                        which is
                                         
    
                                        when I learned all this
                                         
                                        I figured out
                                         
                                        have you ever had
                                         
                                        those sound machines
                                         
                                        that play white noise
                                         
                                        in your bedroom
                                         
                                        when you're trying to go to sleep?
                                         
                                        Sure, yeah.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, we still have one
                                         
                                        Tina uses it.
                                         
                                        Have you ever been in a situation
                                         
                                        where you're laying there
                                         
                                        and the sound machine
                                         
                                        seems to be making
                                         
                                        a repetitive noise
                                         
                                        that you just can't get out of your head?
                                         
    
                                        Do you know what you're like about?
                                         
                                        Set the house on fire.
                                         
                                        Set the house on fire.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I don't know how you resisted it for so long, Brian.
                                         
                                        But sometimes it'll make a like re-re-re-re-re- Or anything like that, right?
                                         
                                        You hear, right, you start hearing a pattern or a, yeah.
                                         
                                        I do this with some video games where there's enough repetitiveness to a certain aspect.
                                         
    
                                        Let's say it's your character's footsteps, and if there isn't a lot of variety, I start to hear that.
                                         
                                        I'll hear like, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, and it annoys me.
                                         
                                        Yeah, I hate it.
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah, so, and Amy in the chat read.
                                         
                                        Fregell is saying, yes, it plays music. That's what happens to me. I'll sometimes hear a tune in it.
                                         
                                        And it's repetitive. And I can't get it out of my head. It does the opposite of what it's
                                         
                                        supposed to do, which has helped me go to sleep. And it just distracts me. And but it's not there.
                                         
                                        And the really you know it's not there is because it's white noise. It's static. It's all
                                         
    
                                        completely random frequencies, right? Yeah.
                                         
                                        So the reason it's happening is a similar mess up in your brain. Your brain is
                                         
                                        trying to get rid of that ambiguity and make sense of this random stimulation. So it puts
                                         
                                        something in there that creates a pattern. So what you can do, and it has to do with sound waves all
                                         
                                        reaching your ear in a particular wave, interference patterns happening in a certain way,
                                         
                                        bouncing off of the walls, and they all collide on your ears in the location where your head is
                                         
                                        in a particular way. And I've reliably been able to fix it by literally, if I just move my head
                                         
                                        over a couple inches on the pillow because the sounds now the way they're bouncing off the walls
                                         
    
                                        it's different in that location it seems it goes away huh so and it's because now your brain
                                         
                                        is hearing a slightly different version of the same sound and it's and it's no longer trying to
                                         
                                        it's no longer engaged in that feedback loop of of reinforcing this sound that you hear
                                         
                                        It works for me.
                                         
                                        I've told it to other people, and it seems to work for them.
                                         
                                        So maybe give it a try.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
                                        How about this one?
                                         
    
                                        Help me with this one.
                                         
                                        He says, don't let nobody pick your bum.
                                         
                                        Yeah, I never.
                                         
                                        Yeah, exactly.
                                         
                                        That's another great example because I never heard that until I heard you say that.
                                         
                                        Now that's all I hear.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Now, you know, like wrapped up like a douche and all those things.
                                         
    
                                        Like in this case, I don't actually know what O'Kasik is singing.
                                         
                                        I don't know what the words are.
                                         
                                        I used to know, but I don't anymore.
                                         
                                        Don't let nobody.
                                         
                                        Pick your fun, I think.
                                         
                                        Pick your fun?
                                         
                                        Hold on.
                                         
                                        Don't let nobody pick your phone.
                                         
    
                                        I'm hearing bum.
                                         
                                        I still hear pick your bum.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I don't know what that is.
                                         
                                        Anyway.
                                         
                                        Yeah, we can find out.
                                         
                                        It's not like this doesn't exist somewhere.
                                         
                                        So Brian will look that up.
                                         
    
                                        In the meantime, Bobby, I love this kind of stuff.
                                         
                                        And more like this on all sorts of scientific topics are covered on all around science.
                                         
                                        to your awesome podcast. Tell people where to get it and what you're talking about this week.
                                         
                                        That's right. It's all around science. Just search for it. You'll get it. And we've got a website and we're on all the podcast places. This speaking of senses and sensory input, we just did an episode that came out yesterday all about your senses, but not, as I like to call them, the five senses on your face. We're not talking about the five senses on your face that you're already really familiar with.
                                         
                                        we talk about a lot of the other senses that you have that nobody doesn't don't get as much
                                         
                                        press don't get as much attention like proprioception or noisception or stuff like that
                                         
                                        whoa that's crazy okay you know what here's any i want to play one more auditory tone thing okay
                                         
                                        just because i found it and i was trying to find it and i found it so this is shepherds ascending
                                         
    
                                        tones you probably heard of this is a good one yeah so this is if you loop this seamlessly
                                         
                                        oh right it sounds like it continues to keep going up like it never ends so i've seen some pretty good
                                         
                                        tic-tock videos where they use this to a great degree where it adds to the illusion that the video is also
                                         
                                        not looping because it feels like the music is making it more eternal or whatever but it sounds
                                         
                                        like this here we go so this is one form of it i've heard the ones and we're like me
                                         
                                        meep me me meb and this is like that
                                         
                                        this is only a single second loop repeating over and over.
                                         
                                        But in our heads, it's just ascending.
                                         
    
                                        That is amazing effect.
                                         
                                        And it's super simple the way they constructed.
                                         
                                        It's just overlapping sine waves that are about an octave apart.
                                         
                                        And they do increase the base frequency over time, but like you said, only for one second.
                                         
                                        And so each individual second of that loop is exactly the same.
                                         
                                        But again, because when it loops, once the loop happens,
                                         
                                        because those frequencies line up in a particular way,
                                         
                                        your brain thinks, oh, well, it's increasing.
                                         
    
                                        So it must be continuing to increase, right?
                                         
                                        And so, yeah, and that's a fascinating one.
                                         
                                        Freaking wild. I love this stuff.
                                         
                                        All right, well, check all that out.

                                        All right. I'm glad she was able to continue on. Yes. She was.

                                        on a recent TMS I used to work
                                         
                                        for a now defunct retail store

                                        with one leg rolled into rolled in with his wheelchair he was uh shopping shoes and found a pair
                                         
                                        that he liked uh he let me know that these were the ones that he wanted and wanted to ask me if i would
                                         
                                        sorry if he would have to pay full price since he was only going to be wearing one of the shoes because
                                         
                                        he's missing a leg uh i was i was in a wheeling and dealing mood and decided to give him the shoes for

                                        Not too much hassle.
                                         
                                        By the way, I did enter Too Early for a Fish sandwich into Dell E. Mini, and I'll share the results with you.
                                         
                                        It's kind of disappointing.
                                         
                                        Oh, is it?
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, I was really hoping for something better, but here's what we got for Too Early for a Fish sandwich.
                                         
                                        I did. I'll show everybody. Also, chat, you can see this one, I did a Captain America doing a very sexy dance.
                                         
                                        It's not that sexy. It's okay. It's, I mean, it depends on your definition of sexy. Maybe this is sexy.
                                         
                                        Yeah. And I've just lost track of that.
                                         
                                        Let me see Brian's here real quick.
                                         
                                        Oh, those are just a bunch of...
                                         
                                        It's just a bunch of fish sandwiches.
                                         
                                        Pretty well-rendered sandwiches, though.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, like, you can tell they're AI created, but they look really good.
                                         
                                        Some of them have some weird lettuce going on, but...
                                         
                                        That reminds me.
                                         
                                        There's a TikTok channel that does nothing, but AI...
                                         
                                        So old images that are too blurry, there's some AI stuff that will go and try to sharpen it all up, right?
                                         
                                        so kind of the zoom and enhance is finally actually starting to look like it might happen
                                         
                                        sure sure and one of them was spice girls and what he does in this video is it'll play spice
                                         
                                        girls music and then take a blurry photo of the spice girls and from far away you'll see that
                                         
    
                                        it's blurry and then a little wave goes past and you see it all sharpened and from there it looks good
                                         
                                        you're like oh that looks awesome that looks like the spice girls but then they zoom into each face and

                                        something of Brian's choosing for her special day.
                                         
                                        She is endlessly supportive, loving and a great mother.
                                         
                                        Did you see that, too?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Everything about the previous presentation was gold.
                                         
                                        That was all good.
                                         
                                        I have no complaints.
                                         
                                        Nothing to complain.
                                         
    
                                        And then watch said chip fly out of my mouth,
                                         
                                        ricochet off my microphone.

                                        Oh, geez.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
                                        I look forward to what the future has to bring,
                                         
                                        and I'm so glad that I have heard
                                         
    
                                        to navigate life with.
                                         
                                        Thanks for all that you guys do.
                                         
                                        Love the show, though.
                                         
                                        Will.
                                         
                                        P.S., can I get a Daryl Skeels saying,
                                         
                                        what, five times in a row, please?
                                         
                                        Oh, hell yeah.
                                         
                                        I keep trying to get Daryl to come on and just do a,
                                         
    
                                        like even a one-off, hey,
                                         
                                        what do you think all this new Star Trek stuff?
                                         
                                        Dude won't answer me.
                                         
                                        Here it is.
                                         
                                        Okay, you want it five times?
                                         
                                        Is that what I heard?
                                         
                                        Five times super fast, yes.
                                         
                                        Okay, this is as fast as I can do it.
                                         
    
                                        What, what, what, what, what.
                                         
                                        There you go.
                                         
                                        That's fantastic.
                                         
                                        Yeah, I wish I could do it.
                                         
                                        But I'm not set up for it.
                                         
                                        By the way, here's Dally with Let's Test the Ship's Phasers, and it's.
                                         
                                        Is it good?
                                         
                                        It's amusing, and I'm not sure what it's coming up with here.
                                         
    
                                        Oh, what in it?
                                         
                                        Oh, processing.
                                         
                                        There we go.
                                         
                                        Okay, let's take a look.
                                         
                                        Oh, there's a...
                                         
                                        We start off with a phaser.
                                         
                                        It's just a straight-up phaser.
                                         
                                        Just a straight-up phaser.
                                         
    
                                        And then a bunch of ships with, like, push pins and...
                                         
                                        Yeah, what is stuck into these weird...
                                         
                                        What is that?
                                         
                                        These weird ships.
                                         
                                        I don't know what's going on here.
                                         
                                        Test the ships, phasers, push-pin-looking things.
                                         
                                        That bottom one, I don't know what to make out of almost all of that,
                                         
                                        except for the top left.

                                        Maybe you can show me how to love
                                         
                                        Maybe

                                        You can turn me on just to touch
                                         
                                        baby
                                         
    
                                        I look around
                                         
                                        and listen
                                         
                                        it is cold and empty
                                         
                                        no one's around
                                         
                                        to judge me
                                         
                                        I can see clearly
                                         
                                        where you're all got
                                         
                                        I said
                                         
    
                                        Ooh
                                         
                                        I am lying in by the lights
                                         
                                        No
                                         
                                        I can't sleep
                                         
                                        Until I feel your
                                         
                                        I touch
                                         
                                        I said
                                         
                                        Ooh
                                         
    
                                        I am drowning
                                         
                                        in the night
                                         
                                        Oh, when I'm like this,
                                         
                                        You're the one I trust
                                         
                                        Hey, hey, hey
                                         
                                        Hey
                                         
                                        Oh
                                         
                                        I'm running out of time
                                         
    
                                        I'm running out of time
                                         
                                        Because I can see the sun
                                         
                                        Light up the sky
                                         
                                        So I hit the road
                                         
                                        And off a drive
                                         
                                        Baby
                                         
                                        Oh
                                         
                                        The city's cold and empty
                                         
    
                                        No one's around
                                         
                                        Don't judge me
                                         
                                        I can see clearly
                                         
                                        We are gone
                                         
                                        Are on
                                         
                                        I said
                                         
                                        Ooh
                                         
                                        I am blinded by lights
                                         
    
                                        No
                                         
                                        I can't sleep on
                                         
                                        Until I steal your touch
                                         
                                        I said
                                         
                                        Ooh
                                         
                                        I am drowning in the night
                                         
                                        Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust.
                                         
                                        I'm just walking fine and let you know.
                                         
    
                                        I can never say it on the phone.
                                         
                                        We'll never let you go this time.
                                         
                                        I said, oh, I'm blinded by the lights.
                                         
                                        No, I can't sleep while until I feel your touch.
                                         
                                        Hey, hey, hey.
                                         
                                        I said, oh, I'm blinded by the lights, no, I can't sleep until I feel the heart, I'm blinded by the lights.
