                                        Let's just rip off that zero days without a Fury Road reference.
                                         
                                        Yeah, guaranteed to have happened.
                                         
    
                                        Don't see here.
                                         
                                        Why can't I find it?
                                         
                                        I imagine you completed framed yesterday without any problem.
                                         
                                        Yeah, framed first frame.
                                         
                                        You got it right away.
                                         
                                        And when people start saying, oh, make sure Scott does frame today, Brian, like telling me to tell you, like, oh, okay, I'll mention it to him in our meeting this morning.
                                         
                                        Yeah, our very important meeting we have before every episode that we do every time.
                                         
                                        Exactly.
                                         
    
                                        And I, as soon as somebody said that, I'm like, oh, well, I think I can probably guess it without seeing frame one.
                                         
                                        Is there a way I can guess on frame zero now?
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah, exactly.
                                         
                                        Now, there's some question here.

                                        You're sick of my Mad Mac stuff, I know.
                                         
                                        But from what I can tell, this one image that I link to you first, there's four images total.
                                         
                                        This is just a production shot.
                                         
                                        There's some, you know, guys out front here.
                                         
                                        You can tell they're working on the set and stuff.
                                         
                                        But back there behind the wall, looks like if it's not Furiosa, it's somebody like her with the head color, you know, the grease head.
                                         
    
                                        Right.
                                         
                                        the uh right very much like the charliez there on yeah and it's not her as far as we know
                                         
                                        because she's keep saying she's not in it but i've learned to not always believe that sometimes
                                         
                                        secrets are best best kept by lying to everybody and telling you you're not you know it's
                                         
                                        possible that the story is bookended by her by charlie's going let me tell you about the time
                                         
                                        that i first encountered blah blah yeah exactly so this is entirely possible now what's
                                         
                                        interesting is, I don't know if anyone else is noticing this in the chat room or Brian, but
                                         
                                        there is a lot of green in this place.
                                         
    
                                        And in the movie, they refer to the green place all the time.
                                         
                                        So I have a feeling this is what that is.
                                         
                                        I see a bunch of ladies on motorcycles, which tells me those are the many mothers,
                                         
                                        or at least they're part of that whole thing.
                                         
                                        So there's a bunch of lore coming together in my head that I have no basis for other
                                         
                                        than just quick visuals here.
                                         
                                        But I'm so excited, I can barely freaking stand it.
                                         
                                        Oh, I can't, that third picture, I can't wait to find out which character drives the white Nissan Centra.
                                         
    
                                        Right, exactly.
                                         
                                        Yeah, that's going to be great.
                                         
                                        By the way, I love one of the first comments on that third image.
                                         
                                        Or maybe it's, I guess it's all these.
                                         
                                        It's the first comment on all these where is Medmex?

                                        but I guess there was a bunch of competition

                                        Here's another one, vacationrentals.com.
                                         
                                        35 million.
                                         
                                        Good Lord.
                                         
                                        That's a lot.
                                         
                                        No kidding.
                                         
                                        And so that one is, okay, that redirects a verbo bought that one, which, you know, vacation
                                         
                                        rentals could just be as simple as an Airbnb or Verbo, for example.
                                         
                                        It doesn't have to be like a, I'm going to rent a big mansion for my Fire Island festival.
                                         
    
                                        Exactly.
                                         
                                        But the thing here is, if you're going to spend that kind of money on a domain like that and all you do is forward it, same with FB.com.
                                         
                                        Right.
                                         
                                        I think you make too much money.
                                         
                                        You know what I mean?
                                         
                                        Like, that's just, that's ridiculous.
                                         
                                        You're going to spend $35 million on a URL that you've never planned to use it all.
                                         
                                        It's just only going to be a forwarding URL.
                                         
    
                                        Like, I'm sure they have numbers that say, well, enough people use that link that we make, you know, that we're, it was more than justified.
                                         
                                        But gosh, dang, dude.
                                         
                                        I don't know.
                                         
                                        Does it, do enough people search for vacation rentals that wouldn't search for, you know, that their, that their regular SEO for the two words, vacation rentals wouldn't do for them anyway?
                                         
                                        I 100% agree.
                                         
                                        And I think it's ridiculous.
                                         
                                        This means you have too much money is what it means.
                                         
                                        Yeah, it does.
                                         
    
                                        Insurance.com.
                                         
                                        So the full insurance, insurgents.
                                         
                                        Just kidding.
                                         
                                        It's insurance.
                                         
                                        35.6 million.
                                         
                                        This was, let's see, aside from automotive insurance company also provides comparison
                                         
                                        services for home life and health insurance.
                                         
                                        Again, if the insurance company, if insurance companies make, if they can buy domains
                                         
    
                                        for that, that's too much.
                                         
                                        And that means we're paying them too much money.
                                         
                                        Insurance is a scam.
                                         
                                        Exactly.
                                         
                                        We're going to have to up your rates because we bought a domain.
                                         
                                        Yep.
                                         
                                        We bought insurance.com, so I'm afraid your rates are going to have to go up.
                                         
                                        And here we go into...
                                         
    
                                        By the way, Quinn Street, by the way, is this company that owns so many, like four or five of these that...
                                         
                                        Oh, Quinn Street, yeah.
                                         
                                        It feels like their whole business model was to buy domains when they were cheap, but no one had them.
                                         
                                        Hold on to them.
                                         
                                        No, I think they're the ones that are buying, that are spending the money.
                                         
                                        Quinn Street, like if you look at insurance.com, Quinn Street bought that for $35.6 million.
                                         
                                        Oh, I see.
                                         
                                        So they're the ones actually buying these...
                                         
    
                                        Let's see, a strategy to take over prominent insurance-related domains.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        So it's almost like they are, like, they're buying it to sell them as a big cluster to, like, Allstate or Progressive or Geico or something like that.
                                         
                                        What a skee-vis.
                                         
                                        I don't like it.
                                         
                                        It is.
                                         
                                        It is.
                                         
    
                                        It's all right.
                                         
                                        How about this one?
                                         
                                        Carinsurance.com.
                                         
                                        49.7 million.
                                         
                                        Again, the Quinn Street-owned domain things.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Okay, number one is my favorite, because it reminded me of you, partly why I wanted to share this list.
                                         
    
                                        Gosh, can't imagine why.
                                         
                                        Vegas.com.
                                         
                                        Yes, Las Vegas.com.
                                         
                                        I'm sorry, Las Vegas.com went for $90 million.
                                         
                                        Wow.
                                         
                                        Oh, my.
                                         
                                        Comprehensive domain pricing estimates that Vegas, Las Vegas.com, is bought at the cumulative price of 90 million.
                                         
                                        Vegas.com LLC, the buyer, signed a contract to pay for the exclusive domain ownership under this scheme.
                                         
    
                                        initial one-time payment of $12,000, $83,000 monthly for 36 months.
                                         
                                        That's a hell of a monthly payment.
                                         
                                        Then $125K for the next 60 months and $208,000 monthly for the next 36.
                                         
                                        That's their payment plan.
                                         
                                        So three years, five years, three years.
                                         
                                        So 11 years of payments.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
    
                                        Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                        You know, and that one is a, that one's a defamation.
                                         
                                        offensive play. You look at that and say, okay, because it was bought by Vegas.com. So if you own,
                                         
                                        if you're the company that owns Vegas.com and you're basically, you know, the, I think it's like
                                         
                                        the tourism board of Las Vegas. Is that who owns that? One of the worst things somebody could do is
                                         
                                        slip under and get Las Vegas.com and start pointing to their own hotel deals or airfare deals or
                                         
                                        whatever. Oh, I see. Yep. And just swipe them right up. You're right.
                                         
                                        Swipe them right up front of underneath you. I'm looking at it right here. It just gives you.
                                         
    
                                        you some price guarantees it's actually kind of broken their image their image carousel's not
                                         
                                        working oh no on Vegas dot or Las Vegas dot com this just tells me people have too much
                                         
                                        slushy money just just throw away you know what I mean the other can I tell you the other thing
                                         
                                        that I really like about this I mean this is where somebody with some Photoshop skills the

                                        west side of the Las Vegas strip, right?
                                         
    
                                        I'm sorry, that's the
                                         
                                        east side. You're looking at the east side of the street.
                                         
                                        Right, because on the other side, because that's the whatever you call it
                                         
                                        over there. That's Paris and the Bally's and the Cromwell and all that stuff.
                                         
                                        And the CBS! Sorry, go ahead. That's what I was going to point out. Exactly.
                                         
                                        Look how prominent freaking CBS is in the middle of that. Like, you want
                                         
                                        to show off, ooh, hotels and glitz and glamour and fountains and all this stuff going on.
                                         
                                        Like, they captured this perfect moment that the fountains were shooting up there,
                                         
    
                                        but also something shooting up over at the corner of Caesars and the high roller wheel on the background.
                                         
                                        Everything looks great.
                                         
                                        It's all lit up.
                                         
                                        CVS.
                                         
                                        And CBS is just right there, for all of your toiletry needs.
                                         
                                        If they didn't make a deal and say, five million dollars, or we blur that out,
                                         
                                        or replace it with Walgreens.
                                         
                                        We Photoshop that.
                                         
    
                                        Then you're effed up.
                                         
                                        You've done effed up.
                                         
                                        Exactly.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I agree.
                                         
                                        Well, you know, I don't, I'm just going to say it.
                                         
                                        I'll say it proud.
                                         
                                        I think 90 million is too much to spend for anything, let alone a freaking damn domain.
                                         
    
                                        I agree.
                                         
                                        I mean, yeah, I get it with the, the, but somebody made a beautiful payday that day.
                                         
                                        Yeah, they did our right, I think.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
                                        I also have a little bit of a clearinghouse problem today.
                                         
                                        We've got to get rid of some short emails that we've been piling up for a while.
                                         
                                        Do you have some, do you have some short email answering?
                                         
    
                                        music? No, but I have this.
                                         
                                        Send and receive email.
                                         
                                        That. Good enough. Good enough. Good enough.
                                         
                                        Or this. In the news. No, not that. I can't find it. I had a fart sound. I was going to
                                         
                                        play and I can't find it. So here's all those emails. These have been piling up for a while.
                                         
                                        We got one from Darren. This is his short email. Hey, Scott and Brian. You say dude a lot.
                                         
                                        Why do you say dude so much, signed Darren?
                                         
                                        I don't know if he means both of us. I assume so. Because I say dude a lot. He probably means,
                                         
    
                                        I say dude a lot. Yeah. Oh, dude.
                                         
                                        I feel like dude was, dude is a word that's been around forever.
                                         
                                        You could go back all the way to probably, I don't know,
                                         
                                        1700s or something for dude.
                                         
                                        Right.
                                         
                                        But it's prominence in my life happening.
                                         
                                        Something totally different for Sam Elliott.
                                         
                                        Exactly.
                                         
    
                                        He was talking about the dude.
                                         
                                        The dude abides.
                                         
                                        But if you go back to high school, junior high and high school for me,
                                         
                                        it was planted in me permanently.
                                         
                                        It was just part of the vernacular of the time.
                                         
                                        That's what we said dude with everything.
                                         
                                        And I just don't know how you take it out of us.
                                         
                                        It's just in us, right?
                                         
    
                                        No, it totally is, exactly.
                                         
                                        And you look at the fine work by the comedian David Spade,
                                         
                                        who explained that dude covers so many different instances,
                                         
                                        different ways of saying it and different meanings depending on how you say it.
                                         
                                        There's even a card game based on it.
                                         
                                        Come on now.
                                         
                                        Yeah, it's absolutely true.
                                         
                                        I was wrong about the...
                                         
    
                                        So for the rest of today, instead of dude, we're going to replace it with Darren.
                                         
                                        There you go.
                                         
                                        Oh, Darren.
                                         
                                        Yeah. And by the way, I like that.
                                         
                                        Darren, I'd have to really get used to it.
                                         
                                        What up, Darren?
                                         
                                        I was wrong about the timing.
                                         
                                        Dude is an American slang for an individual, typically male from 1870s to the 1860s or 1960s.
                                         
    
                                        Dude primarily meant a male person who dressed in extremely fashionable manners or a dandy.
                                         
                                        So this word, according to this, chronology, replaced dandy.
                                         
                                        Dandy?
                                         
                                        That's interesting.
                                         
                                        So guy was like, you know, a fancy coat and a top hat and a cane,
                                         
                                        we would have called a dude in the 1870s.
                                         
                                        Someone comes to town, right?
                                         
                                        Brick comes into your small backwater freaking Arizona town
                                         
    
                                        and he's all dressed to the nines like he's from New York or somewhere back east.
                                         
                                        And everybody would go, well, look at that dandy.
                                         
                                        Or they began to say, look at that dude.
                                         
                                        That's what they'd say.
                                         
                                        Right, exactly.
                                         
                                        It's so much better than a dude ranch sounds so much better than a dandy ranch.
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                        I'm going to go hang out with the dandy ranch.

                                        How did I miss it?
                                         
                                        How did I not get that on my schedule?
                                         
    
                                        I guess he's played Crash in a couple of the Ice Age movies.
                                         
                                        Oh, yeah, in that lethal weapon show.
                                         
                                        I forgot about that.
                                         
                                        Oh, that's right.
                                         
                                        He came in and replaced other crap.
                                         
                                        Maybe I'm thinking of that guy's the one.
                                         
                                        Maybe you're thinking of that guy, because that guy, right, was problems.
                                         
                                        He was a poo-poo.
                                         
    
                                        That guy.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Yeah, we don't like him.
                                         
                                        He's also in the brand.

                                        We really have.

                                        So it's like, okay, that's kind of where the comedy direction of this thing is.

                                        Oh, bridesmaids and stuff.
                                         
                                        Right?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Bridesmaids, the Ghostbusters.
                                         
                                        The bad one.
                                         
    
                                        Answer the call.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I would say Ghostbusters, too, was the bad one.
                                         
                                        I thought answer the call was adequate.
                                         
                                        It's better than two.
                                         
                                        That's for sure.
                                         
                                        Better than two.
                                         
                                        Two's bad.
                                         
    
                                        Two's straight up a piece of garbage.
                                         
                                        You've got some great moments and some very quotable lines from Peter McNickle.
                                         
                                        But other than that.
                                         
                                        Still haven't seen that new one.
                                         
                                        I should.
                                         
                                        We should watch it.
                                         
                                        Just haven't.
                                         
                                        Oh, you really haven't?
                                         
    
                                        Oh, wow.
                                         
                                        I haven't gotten around to it.
                                         
                                        Where is that?

                                        Darren.
                                         
                                        Darren, you need to watch that.
                                         
                                        Oh, Darren.
                                         
                                        It doesn't work as well, does it?
                                         
                                        It's hard.
                                         
                                        It really doesn't, no, because it really, you can't,
                                         
                                        the dude is just so general.
                                         
    
                                        And even though you're trying to replace it and make Darren feel general,
                                         
                                        it still feels like you're talking to that one guy who emailed.
                                         
                                        Yeah, plus I know a guy named Darren here locally, a friend of mine,
                                         
                                        and I'm worried that I would say, oh, Darren, Darren,
                                         
                                        like I'd mix Darren's and dudes.
                                         
                                        Nobody wants to mix Darren's and dudes.
                                         
                                        here's one from KinderSpace who says hey Scuttle and Brisk
                                         
                                        What would you do if you ate a B? Thanks for the show
                                         
    
                                        Well it depends
                                         
                                        It ate it like swallowed it or it flew into my mouth
                                         
                                        Let's say one okay we'll go we'll do a two-parter here
                                         
                                        The B you're at a picnic you're on your whatever you're hanging out with Dave
                                         
                                        Crazy neighbor you're looking at his cool new you know on above ground pool and and you're going
                                         
                                        Yeah that's pretty cool right and right as you say it and then you breathe that you laugh and then you
                                         
                                        breathe in to capture some air. In comes a big, fat old bee.
                                         
                                        And we'll not say it's like a hornet or something, because hornets are dicks and they'll sting you
                                         
    
                                        whether you want to or not. Oh, yeah, that'll be like the stinging inside your throat as it's
                                         
                                        going down your... Yeah, that's a nightmare. Now, the bee would certainly be capable of the
                                         
                                        stinging. It's just less likely because a hornet's a dick. So what would you do? If first of all,
                                         
                                        it flew in your mouth, what's the first thing you try to do? Drink a something like the closest
                                         
                                        alcoholic drink that I can to
                                         
                                        to both drown it and
                                         
                                        drunken it
                                         
                                        drunk in it exactly like
                                         
    
                                        I want to

                                        sting now what okay then
                                         
    
                                        and also potentially with that liquid in your mouth
                                         
                                        you'd like slosh it around and blow the bee out of there

                                        mouth you got bee mouth right now oh yeah yeah then anesthetized maybe that's it uh in any case
                                         
                                        slash around spit the bee out no problem okay now let's say the bee if i can spit it out
                                         
                                        prior to the alcohol then that's what i'm doing but what this now we're saying now now now
                                         
                                        now what about this though here's let's make a twist you were breathing in when it came in there
                                         
                                        and they breathed it all the way down into your one of your lungs it's like in your lung now
                                         
    
                                        so you got you got bee lung what are you going to
                                         
                                        do.
                                         
                                        Because that's not like that's, that's, he'll, he can fly around in there.
                                         
                                        Yeah, he's got mobility.
                                         
                                        Sure.
                                         
                                        He can crawl, fly, whatever.
                                         
                                        And he's going to cause him, he's going to, uh, inflict some mayhem.
                                         
                                        Well, that, he's going to panic for sure, right?
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Because he's in this wet, arid nightmare of a, I mean, those, you know, I know that they can,
                                         
                                        obviously have a stinger.
                                         
                                        They have one stinger.
                                         
                                        And if they sting you, then it, it causes them to die.
                                         
                                        But they can still bite, right?
                                         
                                        uh oh i don't know can they can they bite i don't know if bees can bite never actually uh heard whether
                                         
                                        they can buy i assume they could probably buy bobby says fly around in your lung what the heck do you
                                         
    
                                        think your lungs are balloons i mean there's they hold air they're they're large enough yeah i mean
                                         
                                        he's not going to be like he's going to have some room right yeah he's going to go blubblah you get
                                         
                                        the the uh inside the uh inside your lungs the little fingers but uh uh there's
                                         
                                        some room for them to fly, aren't there?
                                         
                                        Yeah, he'll do some stop and start and kind of, you know, bumping around a little bit.
                                         
                                        But even if he gets all wedged into a little bit of a goo hole or whatever, then what, though?
                                         
                                        Do you let it die and absorb it?
                                         
                                        Do you worry about infection?
                                         
    
                                        Because now there's a dead bee carcass?
                                         
                                        Okay, pretty, like a dense sponge.
                                         
                                        Okay, so J.C. Cahoon and Bobby are saying no, lungs are more like it.
                                         
                                        So I've been looking like all those commercials, those TV commercials that show the cutaway of a dude who can finally
                                         
                                        breathe using afrin or something like that who like has his head turned and he's going
                                         
                                        and they show his lungs they're showing his lungs like freaking balloons yeah they're like balloons
                                         
                                        they've we again they're like dude like dude the word uh the 80s been planted into us we have no
                                         
                                        idea what adanabe looks like on the inside because all the commercials were just this side
                                         
    
                                        view of that guy going right and his fake lungs simply squared he's saying this is like the
                                         
                                        episode of rugrats where they thought watermelon seeds would grow in their belly
                                         
                                        Um, not quite.
                                         
                                        I'm not saying more bees would come out.
                                         
                                        Yeah, it doesn't mean more bees will be there.
                                         
                                        I'm just saying, let's say the bee got into this dense spongy material that is your lungs.
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        And he's in there.
                                         
    
                                        And he dies from, he stings you.
                                         
                                        And maybe you don't even feel it because who knows how your nerve endings work in there.
                                         
                                        I mean, Bobby probably does, but I don't know how.
                                         
                                        So let's say.
                                         
                                        Bobby apparently knows everything.
                                         
                                        So let's say that happens and then bee dies.
                                         
                                        Are you just going to, do you just say?
                                         
                                        okay well the bee's dead or do you do something like uh antibiotic sort of precaution
                                         
    
                                        and like what do you do nothing i don't know what do i don't know either i mean i think i call

                                        quiet no keep we like this keep keep it coming man anytime we say
                                         
                                        something scientifically ridiculous.
                                         
                                        I like when Bobby pipes up.
                                         
                                        Exactly.
                                         
                                        Whatever Bobby had lined up for his segment, it's been replaced by lung education.
                                         
    
                                        There you go.
                                         
                                        Now, I do have a sound I would make if I ate it.
                                         
                                        Would you like to hear what sound I would make?
                                         
                                        Yes, please.
                                         
                                        That's the sound I would make right there.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I want to say that somebody in my family, and it might have been my uncle,
                                         
                                        did swallow a bee or a yellow jacket or a wasp because I,
                                         
    
                                        I distinctly remember being at a picnic, really, really young, probably like seven or eight years old, and a bee flew into his soda can, and he drank it.
                                         
                                        That's horrifying to me.
                                         
                                        And since then, or at least for a while after that, whenever he would pop the top on a soda can, he'd flip the little thumb popper over to the hole to make it a smaller opening so that to hopefully keep bees from flying in there.
                                         
                                        I mean, they can still wedge their way in there.
                                         
                                        Sure.
                                         
                                        Oh, bees love sugary drinks in the summer, man.
                                         
                                        They do.
                                         
                                        Yeah, they'll go right into your can.
                                         
    
                                        And you don't want that.
                                         
                                        You don't want to be right in your can.
                                         
                                        You don't want to be in your can.
                                         
                                        There is someone asked in the chat,
                                         
                                        isn't there a childhood song about this?
                                         
                                        Yeah, it's the old lady who swallowed a fly.
                                         
                                        I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
                                         
                                        I hope she'll die or I think she'll die or maybe she'll die.
                                         
    
                                        Perhaps she'll die.
                                         
                                        I hope she dies.
                                         
                                        I hope that old bag dies after eating that fly.
                                         
                                        She was a bitch.
                                         
                                        But the rest of them are like, I knew a guy who ate a tree.
                                         
                                        I don't know why he took the tree.
                                         
                                        She keeps swallowing bigger and bigger things, right?
                                         
                                        So she swallows something to eat the fly.
                                         
    
                                        And then she has to swallow something else to eat the second thing.
                                         
                                        And then she keeps swallowing bigger and bigger things to, to, yeah, spider.
                                         
                                        She swallowed a spider to eat the fly.
                                         
                                        And now it's inside her.
                                         
                                        Spider's inside her.
                                         
                                        I don't know why it's insider.
                                         
                                        She likes apple cider.
                                         
                                        There's the song.
                                         
    
                                        Yep, nailed it.
                                         
                                        I remember it perfectly.
                                         
                                        It's made for some great titles that we'll have to hear at the end of the show.
                                         
                                        Yeah, we're going to have to dig through these.
                                         
                                        All right, here's one from Constable Bishops.
                                         
                                        I don't know who that is.
                                         
                                        Freaking love that name.

                                        I am Constable Bishops.
                                         
                                        Come with me.
                                         
                                        To whom it may concern.
                                         
                                        I guess that's us.
                                         
                                        Is therea or Thera?
                                         
                                        Thera.
                                         
                                        Potato.
                                         
                                        It's not spelled potato right.
                                         
    
                                        potato with a T.
                                         
                                        He spelled it like Dan Quail.
                                         
                                        Okay, so is there a potato there, but spelled the wrong there?
                                         
                                        Possessive there.

                                        I don't know what to.
                                         
                                        Why did I even pull the email?
                                         
    
                                        The answer is yes.
                                         
                                        Thank you, Constable Bishops.
                                         
                                        Is there a potato there?
                                         
                                        You want to ask for Indica.
                                         
                                        Okay, next time you're at your Bud, your Bud salesman.
                                         
                                        Indica, not the other stuff that hypers you up, okay, bud.
                                         
                                        But, all right.
                                         
                                        Armin, final one, Armin.
                                         
    
                                        Okay, all right.
                                         
                                        I hope the last name is Hammer.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Or Amarin Shimmerman from a freaking Star Trek.
                                         
                                        Deep Space Nine.
                                         
                                        Yeah, that guy's great.
                                         
                                        Hey, guys, important question here from Germany.
                                         
                                        Oh, Germans.
                                         
    
                                        Would you rather eat a, oh, man, it's one of these.
                                         
                                        I forgot.
                                         
                                        I put this in there.
                                         
                                        Would you rather eat a rotting, nasty, severed big toe once and keep it down?
                                         
                                        Or, before.
                                         
                                        to put Danny DeVito's big toe in your mouth every day for 90 days.
                                         
                                        The world must know, Amron, or Armin.
                                         
                                        Is that Armin?
                                         
    
                                        I've never heard that name.
                                         
                                        It's Armin, yeah.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Germany name.
                                         
                                        You know, here's the thing.
                                         
                                        If we reward this person by giving them an answer, they're just going to send more.
                                         
                                        By giving them a platform.
                                         
                                        Yeah, it's a good point.
                                         
    
                                        Okay, Armin, don't take this as an opportunity to ask this.
                                         
                                        all the time or anything.
                                         
                                        But I think I would do the
                                         
                                        the rotting toe once.
                                         
                                        I don't want to put Danny DeVito.
                                         
                                        I would do the rotting toe once.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I would keep it down.
                                         
    
                                        I'd push it through.
                                         
                                        You know, I don't want to.
                                         
                                        He doesn't say how long Danny DeVito's toe,
                                         
                                        the Danny DeVito would have to be in our mouth every day.
                                         
                                        The DeVito.
                                         
                                        DeVito.
                                         
                                        That's good.
                                         
                                        Would it be right after his shower?
                                         
    
                                        Like, even that.
                                         
                                        Good Lord.
                                         
                                        I know.
                                         
                                        It doesn't matter when.
                                         
                                        at this stage of his life, at this stage of my life, I don't want Danny DeVito's toe
                                         
                                        anywhere near my mouth. Oh my gosh.
                                         
                                        Yeah, exactly. At least maybe it'll step on the bee.
                                         
                                        Thank you, everybody. There's a callback, ladies and gentlemen.
                                         
    
                                        Because honestly, the eating, I could swallow a toe, severed toe.
                                         
                                        Rodding or not, I could have it go down and one sleep.
                                         
                                        You could get it down and just be done with the whole thing.
                                         
                                        Yeah, be finished with it in one fail swoop.
                                         
                                        But 90 days of, all right, Mr. DeVito, give me your big nasty club foot with freaking
                                         
                                        400 years of goo on it.
                                         
                                        Put that giant toe in my mouth.
                                         
                                        Oh, you didn't clip your nail this time.
                                         
    
                                        It snagged my cheek.
                                         
                                        Like, F off!
                                         
                                        Like, cut my tongue on your
                                         
                                        ragged toenail.
                                         
                                        That's horrendous, so no.
                                         
                                        Because basically you're saying,
                                         
                                        do you want to eat one nasty toe once,
                                         
                                        or do you want to basically eat 90 days
                                         
    
                                        worth of a nasty toe?
                                         
                                        Suck on a nasty, a live nasty toe for 90 days.
                                         
                                        Gosh, dang it. I don't even care if Danny DeVito
                                         
                                        likes it, but you probably wouldn't.
                                         
                                        This is why I didn't want to reward Armin
                                         
                                        with this business.
                                         
                                        Yeah, that's a good point.
                                         
                                        Maybe he does wash his toe.
                                         
    
                                        Maybe that's why.
                                         
                                        Black his evening address.
                                         
                                        Whatever.
                                         
                                        Maybe, maybe Rea Perlman left him because his toes were bad.
                                         
                                        I don't know.
                                         
                                        Maybe.
                                         
                                        I have no idea where this evening is coming from.
                                         
                                        That's the other thing, Armin, if you want to send in an email explaining where your
                                         
    
                                        mind got this, that'd be great.
                                         
                                        Hey, Latka.
                                         
                                        You got take taxi number 15 and pick up a thing.
                                         
                                        Hey, Rieger, where's that fair you was supposed to bring me?
                                         
                                        I'm the same person my entire life.
                                         
                                        I've never changed.
                                         
                                        That might be my next, is that streaming anywhere?
                                         
                                        Taxi is streaming, I think, on Hulu, I believe.
                                         
    
                                        Let's see.
                                         
                                        Is it all the taxi?
                                         
                                        Streaming.
                                         
                                        Oh, I'm sorry, Prime video.
                                         
                                        It looks like somewhere.
                                         
                                        It's streaming somewhere and it's worth it because that's still a very funny show.
                                         
                                        It's worth watching.
                                         
                                        Some early producers that would go on to do all the cheers.
                                         
    
                                        stuff and all the
                                         
                                        Frazier things and the Simpsons
                                         
                                        and a bunch of other people all came out of there.
                                         
                                        It's really good. That's right. Yeah.
                                         
                                        All right. We're going to
                                         
                                        never read emails again and instead
                                         
                                        do this.
                                         
                                        It's time for the news and it is brought to you by.
                                         
    
                                        Brought to you by Coverville. There was
                                         
                                        a brand new episode last week and since we
                                         
                                        do and do a Thursday show. I couldn't tell you all
                                         
                                        about it. But I'm going to tell you about it now because
                                         
                                        as it is a podcast, you are able to go back
                                         
                                        Good listen to it.
                                         
                                        Paul McCartney turned 80 this last weekend,
                                         
                                        and so, of course, I did a big old Paul McCartney show,
                                         
    
                                        focusing on his solo career as opposed to his time with the Beatles.
                                         
                                        So he heard covers of Paul McCartney songs by folks like Tim and Neil Finn,
                                         
                                        Robin Zander and Rick Nielsen from the Crowded House.
                                         
                                        I'm sorry, from Cheap Trick.
                                         
                                        Tim and Neil Finn from Crowded House.
                                         
                                        Cheap Tricks, Robin Zander, and Rick Nielsen.
                                         
                                        The band, Enough, Zenough.
                                         
                                        And even Death Cab for Cut.
                                         
    
                                        a rarity from Death Cab for Cudy.
                                         
                                        All that over there at coverville.com.
                                         
                                        Go listen to it and enjoy today.
                                         
                                        That sounds great.
                                         
                                        Paul McCartney,
                                         
                                        did you got any covers of simply having a wonderful Christmas?
                                         
                                        I have covers of it.
                                         
                                        I did not play covers of it on this episode.
                                         
    
                                        Good, because it's the worst thing ever made.
                                         
                                        Yes, it is.
                                         
                                        Yes.
                                         
                                        It's horrendous.
                                         
                                        There's no question about the truth of that.
                                         
                                        No, but there are good covers of it out there.
                                         
                                        Are there?
                                         
                                        Really.

                                        i noticed the other day you're starting to see cars called like the wellington or whatever like
                                         
                                        they're giving them dumb names for cars because we're all out of
                                         
                                        we don't have any more names. No more cool names for cars.
                                         
                                        No, they've run out. So they're all stupid. The Sorrento? What is that? A chili pepper? What is that?
                                         
                                        Lame. All right. First story of the day. Yeah. I like big dogs. I cannot lie.
                                         
                                        Lost giant dog rolls up to a dollar general store and then refuses to leave. He had had enough.
                                         
                                        Why? He rolls up. It seems like they didn't need to.
                                         
                                        To add any other flourish to the headline for this.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, giant dog doesn't need to roll anywhere, I guess.
                                         
                                        Lost Dog in Florida decided to cope with the situation via retail therapy.
                                         
                                        Employees of the Dollar General, which weren't they controversial recently?
                                         
                                        Because stuff is now like two, three bucks, five bucks there.
                                         
                                        It's not really a dollar.
                                         
                                        Probably. Yeah.
                                         
                                        Something like that.
                                         
                                        In Bradenton called police this week reporting a giant dog that wouldn't leave.
                                         
    
                                        Florida dog.
                                         
                                        Florida dog.
                                         
                                        Let's see.
                                         
                                        There's now viral Facebook post.
                                         
                                        It includes body cam footage of the canine lumbering around the store.
                                         
                                        He's 135 pounds.
                                         
                                        His name turned out to be Bentley.
                                         
                                        It's a great name.
                                         
    
                                        Bentley.
                                         
                                        Has entered the store on his own, spent a couple of hours browsing before it was closing time,
                                         
                                        and then the staff didn't want to simply turn the gentle giant out onto the street.
                                         
                                        He had a microchip.
                                         
                                        Officers were able to track down his owner, and the dog had apparently broken through the gate at home
                                         
                                        before his attempted shopping spree.
                                         
                                        He didn't actually shop.
                                         
                                        He didn't buy anything.
                                         
    
                                        No.
                                         
                                        Come on, article.
                                         
                                        He smelled food in there.
                                         
                                        He wandered around looking for food.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        He realized he didn't have any pockets.
                                         
                                        Yep.
                                         
                                        So no money.
                                         
    
                                        And then, you know, got chipped and returned.
                                         
                                        And then, you know, euthanized and buried.
                                         
                                        Nope.
                                         
                                        No, no of that happened.
                                         
                                        Just kidding.
                                         
                                        Let's see.
                                         
                                        Is this video here?
                                         
                                        That's what Dollar General story goes too far, Dollar General.
                                         
    
                                        Oh, there is a video.
                                         
                                        Let's see if we can play this.
                                         
                                        I don't know if it'll do justice on this or not.
                                         
                                        I mean, it's going to be a dog walking around.
                                         
                                        There's a guy driving.
                                         
                                        Convenience store.
                                         
                                        Oh, it's the cops.
                                         
                                        Uh, what do you call it?
                                         
    
                                        Body cam.
                                         
                                        Yeah, they're body camp footage.
                                         
                                        Body cam footage freaks me out because I always feel like I'm about to see something terrible go down.
                                         
                                        We've been trained.
                                         
                                        We've been taught that, you know, that nothing good ever comes from body cam.
                                         
                                        No.
                                         
                                        And there's a reason, you know, you always hear about them refusing to give the body cam footage because investigators are like, we need the good footage.
                                         
                                        And they're like, oh, I'm sure you have nothing to hide then if you're just outright saying no to your body cam footage, which only exists.
                                         
    
                                        the camera on your gut or in your chest
                                         
                                        only exists to capture what you're doing.
                                         
                                        So if you refuse to give it to people, why?
                                         
                                        That drives me crazy.
                                         
                                        Anyway, look at that giant dog.
                                         
                                        Always going to the office.
                                         
                                        Well, come out of there, buddy.
                                         
                                        Yeah, there we go.
                                         
    
                                        Have you guys added up the till yet?
                                         
                                        We're not leaving until you sweep the third aisle over there.
                                         
                                        Until things are equal.
                                         
                                        I like that dog.
                                         
                                        He's cute.
                                         
                                        Yeah, I do like St. Bernard's.
                                         
                                        You know what we have.
                                         
                                        we have a listener in the form of H who knows all sorts of cop things.
                                         
    
                                        H, if you're listening, send me an email about body cam footage and why do cops hate them?
                                         
                                        And if so, why and also why don't they want to turn them in sometimes?
                                         
                                        Is it just self-preservation?
                                         
                                        Is it just, is that just the natural thing to do and you've got to make a warrant happen?
                                         
                                        Like, I don't know.

                                        normal stuff because usually you always get something in the
                                         
                                        in this part of our world

                                        That is.
                                         
                                        That's one for every...
                                         
                                        But one of the ones I'm looking at here is, you know, one that got put out eons ago.
                                         
                                        So they're not good about keeping up their data?
                                         
    
                                        I don't think there's a Wonderland Lake Fire is still going on, but...
                                         
                                        No, apparently it's active.
                                         
                                        It's a one-acre fire, 18 miles west-northwest of Denver.
                                         
                                        Well, all right.
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        Updated two hours 26 minutes ago, so...
                                         
                                        There's probably something here, and I don't know about them.
                                         
                                        They're probably, I know Arizona, well, this one in Arizona we're about to talk about, definitely happen.
                                         
    
                                        A 57-year-old man arrested on suspicion of sparking a 5,000 acre forest fire in Arizona told deputies he was burning used toilet paper Saturday while living in a
                                         
                                        Cocoa Nino.
                                         
                                        Coquino National Forest.
                                         
                                        Is that right?
                                         
                                        Coconino.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Coconino.
                                         
                                        She felt like one if I got it wrong.
                                         
    
                                        It sounded really bad.
                                         
                                        I don't know why.
                                         
                                        Coconino.
                                         
                                        Coconino.
                                         
                                        The pipeline fire was first reported shortly after 10 a.m. Sunday, roughly six miles off north of Flagstaff, Arizona.
                                         
                                        I have friends in Flagstaff.
                                         
                                        Hundreds of Cocasino, sorry, Koko-Nino County residents were ordered to evacuate as strong winds fanned the flames,
                                         
                                        according to emergency officials.
                                         
    
                                        Anyway, the guy was burning and used toilet paper.
                                         
                                        He thought that would be the way to do it.
                                         
                                        It's like, oh, took a dump.
                                         
                                        Now I need to get rid of this here, toilet paper.
                                         
                                        I guess I'll burn it.

                                        door cam footage of people coming up to their doors and doing stuff at like 1.30 in the morning.
                                         
                                        And one of them is this shotgun kick.
                                         
                                        I don't know if you've heard of this, but it's teenage idiots doing this.
                                         
                                        It sounds like something me and my friends may have attempted when we are 16, so I, you know,
                                         
                                        as much as I want to complain of these kids today, it sounds like something we would have done.
                                         
                                        But anyway, they run up to the door and they're doing this over in this place that's a 55 and
                                         
    
                                        older community thing. It's like an older folks thing. So they're all in like their average 60, 70s.
                                         
                                        that live there. So old people
                                         
                                        middle of the night
                                         
                                        1.30 in the morning. You walk up
                                         
                                        you go bing bong with the button
                                         
                                        and then you turn around
                                         
                                        and you horse kick the door as hard as you can.
                                         
                                        Oh my God. Okay.
                                         
    
                                        So you know like kind of a reverse kick.
                                         
                                        It makes a sound that sounds like
                                         
                                        somebody just shot a 44 caliber
                                         
                                        freaking right from her pistol.
                                         
                                        It's so loud and so gunshoty
                                         
                                        and there's just a spade of these.
                                         
                                        So whatever, warmer weather, kids are idiots.
                                         
                                        That sort of stuff happens.
                                         
    
                                        But then my friend, Darren, that I was talking about earlier, who we want to swap dude for,
                                         
                                        um, Darren's not a dude swapper.
                                         
                                        I just want to, I'm not trying to say that.
                                         
                                        He's a real good guy.
                                         
                                        Anyway, not with.
                                         
                                        They have this footage of a guy out walking his dog at 2 a.m.
                                         
                                        He's walking his dog past his house.
                                         
                                        Goes past his house.
                                         
    
                                        I've seen this footage.
                                         
                                        It's all like done in night vision.
                                         
                                        So it's even weirder.
                                         
                                        He passes the house.
                                         
                                        And then he backtracks, goes up to their porch, grabs the long.
                                         
                                        cushion from their like lay down kind of
                                         
                                        furniture that they have on the front
                                         
                                        porch, they have a big porch. And then the
                                         
    
                                        smaller, one of the smaller seat cushions
                                         
                                        just takes those and walks away.
                                         
                                        Then they're like,
                                         
                                        okay, well, that's weird.
                                         
                                        He seemed to have some kind of like expensive
                                         
                                        shoes and he didn't look
                                         
                                        homeless or something. That's what we thought maybe it was
                                         
                                        going on. Right, right. Just needed somewhere
                                         
    
                                        to sleep or whatever. But then they
                                         
                                        found these cushions in the tunnel
                                         
                                        over by the river
                                         
                                        that leads to the lake.
                                         
                                        they were laying there
                                         
                                        so he must have
                                         
                                        so the current running theory is
                                         
                                        this dude who's just some average dude in the neighborhood
                                         
    
                                        got kicked out of the house by his wife
                                         
                                        oh interesting and then slept
                                         
                                        slept under the tunnel with his dog
                                         
                                        that's the only theory we can come up with
                                         
                                        because we don't know what else is the cause here
                                         
                                        yeah I was thinking like when you described
                                         
                                        I thought oh he was he was
                                         
                                        wanting to do something nice for the homeless
                                         
    
                                        and employed
                                         
                                        somebody else's cushions to do it
                                         
                                        yeah yeah basically
                                         
                                        they got them back though so they're pretty weirded out but this is just a I don't know there's like an uptick in this stuff I don't know if people are just restless maybe it's always like this I don't like to make too much because I don't know I really don't know it's easy to look at and go oh it's worse than ever I don't know exactly it's the burgeoning homeless problem yeah and it may be I don't know but I doubt it in this particular case I think this guy he would have had his shoes stolen and sold by now because he had really nice shoes on
                                         
                                        I think I would just, if they've got that nice little setup on their porch, with the nice cushions, I would just sleep there.
                                         
                                        Just sleep there and leave it like four.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Exactly.
                                         
    
                                        Get up before things turn on for the day.
                                         
                                        Darren goes to CrossFit in the morning, but he doesn't leave it, you know, 2 o'clock in the morning.
                                         
                                        You'd have been fine.
                                         
                                        Right.
                                         
                                        And what's he going to do?
                                         
                                        So like, hey, get out of here.
                                         
                                        Okay, sorry.
                                         
                                        kicked out of the house.
                                         
    
                                        Bye.
                                         
                                        Darren would scare me if I didn't know him because he's like ex-Nabby, big guy, does CrossFit, just a big monster.
                                         
                                        He's a total teddy bear.
                                         
                                        the sweetest guy. He's an intimidating looking Darren?
                                         
                                        Yeah. He's just saying? Yes. He's very intimidating.
                                         
                                        If you don't know him. Once you know him, he's the
                                         
                                        sweetest dude you've ever met. Like, literally
                                         
                                        just like you want to hug him and he'd hang out. He loves
                                         
    
                                        Star Wars. He's just the nicest guy.
                                         
                                        Oh, cool. Yeah. But if he saw him and didn't know
                                         
                                        him, you go, ah, we're going to die
                                         
                                        today. He looks scary.
                                         
                                        Jeez. He may hear this. I don't know.
                                         
                                        All right. Here's a, oh, we got a big
                                         
                                        we got a big fish and a dildo story.
                                         
                                        You ready? Great. This sounds
                                         
    
                                        like the lead into a joke, right?
                                         
                                        this the start of a really weird episode of
                                         
                                        A fish walks into a fascination.
                                         
                                        There you go.
                                         
                                        Wait, what is that?
                                         
                                        Is that a thing?
                                         
                                        What's fascination?
                                         
                                        That's a store.
                                         
    
                                        I thought there was a national chain of like sex toys and stuff like that.
                                         
                                        Oh, I don't know.
                                         
                                        Maybe we have them.
                                         
                                        I don't know.
                                         
                                        Someone looked that up.
                                         
                                        We got one of those in Utah.
                                         
                                        Sure.
                                         
                                        Pretend you've never heard of it.
                                         
    
                                        I really have never heard of it.
                                         
                                        We have one here called.
                                         
                                        What is this browsers you keep mentioning?
                                         
                                        I really didn't know what that was either.
                                         
                                        I do now.
                                         
                                        But I knew what a, or we have a place called the Blue Boutique,
                                         
                                        but I don't think that's national
                                         
                                        I think that's just a local place
                                         
    
                                        and then we had one more called
                                         
                                        the French connection
                                         
                                        which is no longer there
                                         
                                        that was there in the 90s

                                        well yeah because then I can take it back
                                         
                                        to any other store
                                         
                                        I don't have to go specifically
                                         
                                        to that store
                                         
                                        that's right
                                         
                                        duh that's right
                                         
    
                                        when he returns them all
                                         
                                        because that's what he does
                                         
                                        right yeah exactly
                                         
                                        get to them
                                         
                                        I return
                                         
                                        Yeah, get them, use them for...
                                         
                                        Use them, and then take them back.
                                         
                                        We used to call that the seven-day return at a game style or software, et cetera.
                                         
    
                                        You could play it, buy a game, play it for seven days, take it back before the seven days
                                         
                                        or up, they give you a full refund.
                                         
                                        That's right, exactly.
                                         
                                        That's the same deal.
                                         
                                        Well, all right, big fish ate a dildo.
                                         
                                        This is what happened.
                                         
                                        An Indiana man's routine fishing trip with a friend turned into anything but ordinary after the pair
                                         
                                        learned what was inside of a catfish they had just reeled in a big old adult toy.
                                         
    
                                        Richard Kezer, Kayser, Keezar, something like that, wanted to take his friend John Hoop.
                                         
                                        His last name is Hoop.
                                         
                                        That's great.
                                         
                                        Out on the Ohio River near Lawrenceburg, so Hoop could catch his first big blue catfish, according to the local news channel.
                                         
                                        Hoop caught a catfish, making it the first catch of the day.
                                         
                                        Then Hoop and Keizar noticed that the fish had a larger than normal stomach, but I didn't think much of it because they often swallow other fish, turtles, other animals, that kind of thing.
                                         
                                        I've actually seen that.
                                         
                                        I opened a fish.
                                         
    
                                        I caught once and I had another fish in.
                                         
                                        So I get it.
                                         
                                        They kept fishing, catching a few more and felt the fish, or saying, felt the fish,
                                         
                                        and noticed that it was inside was too hard to be another fisher animal.
                                         
                                        It's just too hard.
                                         
                                        You know?
                                         
                                        So once Kezer got home to his wife and three-year-old daughter, they cut that fish open.
                                         
                                        Then they immediately sent the daughter to bed.
                                         
    
                                        Get out of here, kid.
                                         
                                        Yeah, right.
                                         
                                        We decided to cut it open and we found a foam ball, part of a fish,
                                         
                                        and the other object.
                                         
                                        The other object.
                                         
                                        Fish was about this big.
                                         
                                        It was a master cat.
                                         
                                        Anyway, we decided to open up,
                                         
    
                                        and there was the other thing inside a foam ball,
                                         
                                        part of another fish,
                                         
                                        and a phallic-shaped sex toy.
                                         
                                        So, yeah, next time you're fishing.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I mean, what probably,
                                         
                                        see, this is where things go raw for me.
                                         
                                        If I start to think about the story of how it got there,
                                         
    
                                        yes that's trouble because what this means is somebody tossed a freaking ding-dong into the lake
                                         
                                        when they no longer had a use for it or whatever that's weird right that fish said oh a smaller fish
                                         
                                        gulp oh that wasn't a fish well nothing i can do now fish don't really throw up so i'll just keep
                                         
                                        this in here but now why am i the most popular fish in the pond yeah why does everybody want to be
                                         
                                        near me uh yeah did that guy eat the fish probably not
                                         
                                        He doesn't say, he doesn't get into it.
                                         
                                        I don't think you could eat that fish.
                                         
                                        Look, I love catfish.
                                         
    
                                        Fried catfish is one of the greatest things man has ever done with nature.
                                         
                                        But I don't think I could eat a dildo fish.
                                         
                                        I don't think I could do it.
                                         
                                        I mean, I'd like to say I could, but I really don't think I could.
                                         
                                        All right, we're going to take a break.
                                         
                                        When we come back, it's time with Bill.
                                         
                                        It's time with Bobby.
                                         
                                        It's a good time for all.
                                         
    
                                        But to do that, we got to play a song.
                                         
                                        So, Brian, could you play a song?
                                         
                                        I could. I could, Scott. I could. And I will.
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        We're going to play a song by a band called Telanova.
                                         
                                        I feel like these guys are either New Zealand or Australian, because they're touring all over Australian, New Zealand this summer, to promote their brand new EP, which is called Stained Glass Love.
                                         
                                        This is, boy, this is a good description right here.
                                         
                                        widescreen pop music, cinematic and scope and ambitious in design,

                                        Say hi to some friends.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Fressed up as a Ghostbuster.
                                         
                                        Yeah, you looked like a proper Ghostbuster.
                                         
                                        I wasn't afraid of no ghosts when I saw you.
                                         
                                        Did they say, who are you going to...
                                         
                                        Who are you going to call Bill?
                                         
                                        I got a lot of those, actually.
                                         
    
                                        Oh, you did?
                                         
                                        Walk around in public, dressed as a Ghostbuster.
                                         
                                        People will yell at you.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        But you had your...
                                         
                                        Did you wear your fancy new backpack you made?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I was going to say my proton pack has...
                                         
    
                                        a button that just plays the Gus Buster
                                         
                                        theme stuff. Whenever
                                         
                                        anyone would say, who are you going to call? I just
                                         
                                        hit that button and it started playing the theme
                                         
                                        song. You have to pay
                                         
                                        what's his name? Any royalties for that?
                                         
                                        No. No. I think he was name. What's his name, Brian?
                                         
                                        And you don't say, hey man, Bustin makes me

                                        All right, hey, real quick, Brian has a question for you
                                         
                                        that we have to get out of the way. I do. Yeah, so
                                         
                                        eagle-eyed viewers who are watching the stream might
                                         
                                        notice that next to my my captain america's shield there's a vacant spot because sometime over the
                                         
                                        weekend the uh one of the little arms holding up my um my 3d printed mulener broke and now my moulner
                                         
                                        is in two pieces no two piece mulener like uh it's just like what uh what hella did in
                                         
                                        yeah oh she's such a butthole okay so what she is
                                         
    
                                        So you're like, how are you going to hook that back up?
                                         
                                        I guess that's the question.
                                         
                                        You can see the 3D printed honeycomb pattern inside there.
                                         
                                        You can see the 3D printed honeycomb pattern inside there.
                                         
                                        My thinking, and here's I'm going to run by you, is that I take a drill and I drill out the same size hole in both of these.
                                         
                                        And I put either a dowel or some PVC pipe for the thickness or the depth as far as I can drill.
                                         
                                        it to connect these two and then use like a gorilla glue or something like that to fill in
                                         
                                        from because otherwise just straight glue is not going to do this right because it's it's lost
                                         
    
                                        it's you know even if I glue this thing it's not going to be strong enough to keep this thing
                                         
                                        yeah you definitely definitely want to add some sort of support a PVC pipe is a great idea
                                         
                                        a threaded rod like a steel rod you could get at the door that would work and then I would just
                                         
                                        he's like a five-minute epoxy.
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        Probably.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Did he say epoxy?
                                         
    
                                        I think he said epoxy, didn't he?
                                         
                                        Apoxy.
                                         
                                        It's like a gorilla glue.
                                         
                                        There's that glue that like, that foams up when you add water to it.
                                         
                                        That's like gorilla glue, right?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        That stuff sticks to everything.
                                         
                                        It really does.
                                         
    
                                        Like it, I think actually that's what's holding the two halves of Mielner together because this is a, this is two pieces right here.
                                         
                                        Those guerrilla people aren't, they're not the same people to do the glass.
                                         
                                        right that's a different thing gorilla glass no they do have gorilla tape which is like the best duct tape
                                         
                                        oh my gosh that sounds amazing i'm gonna give you some gorilla tape screw ducts can go quack their so oh it's
                                         
                                        not ducked oh okay anyway hey bill i'm lucky like with all my little arcade machines there like my
                                         
                                        new wave toys arcade machines i'm really fortunate that it didn't break something on the way down
                                         
                                        because this thing this has some this thing it has some weight to it yeah maybe your other items were
                                         
                                        worthy, and they could handle it.
                                         
    
                                        I don't know.
                                         
                                        Clearly, my IKEA wall panel was not worthy.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Clearly.
                                         
                                        Anyway, well, all right.

                                        Oh, no, my
                                         
                                        modem is actually going to go
                                         
                                        today.
                                         
                                        That's another stuff, is replace
                                         
    
                                        your modem? Yeah, why not?
                                         
                                        I think that's the cable, it's the problem.
                                         
                                        It must be.
                                         
                                        So, it's funny you
                                         
                                        showed your Mielner
                                         
                                        that we're going to make with the kids.
                                         
                                        is little foam hammers
                                         
                                        for the boys to run around with.
                                         
    
                                        Nice.
                                         
                                        I figured it was a good idea
                                         
                                        foam hammer.
                                         
                                        They're going to put each other in the head
                                         
                                        with won't make.
                                         
                                        So make it out of foam.
                                         
                                        They can't hurt each other too much.
                                         
                                        That's a good idea.
                                         
    
                                        We just bought Van,
                                         
                                        I guess we got it on Amazon,
                                         
                                        but they have a whole package of foam swords.
                                         
                                        You can just buy for like 10 bucks.
                                         
                                        There's like 15 swords in there.
                                         
                                        That dude's in heaven right now.
                                         
                                        He's just swinging at everything,
                                         
                                        probably too much.
                                         
    
                                        You know, we've put a little bloodlust in them, I guess.
                                         
                                        I don't know what's going on.
                                         
                                        But no, this is great.
                                         
                                        So, yeah, I assume all of your foam smithing will come to bear here a little bit.
                                         
                                        Definitely a little different kids.
                                         
                                        They're between the ages of four and eight.
                                         
                                        Lots of adult supervision, no power tools, no toxic clue.
                                         
                                        Probably no hot unless an adult is in charge of that.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        No sharp knives and something that we can finish in a ton of time.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        and you're there you're just there for the weekends that the plan or something like that
                                         
                                        oh we'll be there for a few days all right that's nice that's great old uncle bill with his
                                         
                                        cool skills and uh making his foam shit is awesome what a great we're a rad thing for those kids
                                         
                                        that's great yeah i hope that's the that's what they get out of it um so i'm building these kits
                                         
                                        these i'm going to make pre-make them with uh double-sided it tape on it so they're
                                         
    
                                        off to glue it they can just peel the tape off together and that
                                         
                                        then let them paint it.
                                         
                                        They can just go nuts.
                                         
                                        They can paint it however they want.
                                         
                                        And that's the best part.
                                         
                                        They can personalize it.
                                         
                                        That doesn't have to look anything like the real mule.
                                         
                                        They can just have fun with it.
                                         
    
                                        And then each one of them has their own thing.
                                         
                                        And which is important.
                                         
                                        And I thought about making each one of them an event.
                                         
                                        But that would be the favorite and they would all fight over it.
                                         
                                        Yeah, you don't want that.
                                         
                                        That's the hard thing with kids is they all have their own.
                                         
                                        Well, they're going to just say no fair.
                                         
                                        He got whatever.
                                         
    
                                        So you got to try to figure out.
                                         
                                        It's like video game balance.
                                         
                                        You got to figure out how to give this kid the sword and this kid the hammer.
                                         
                                        And somehow Hammer and Sword Kid are both happy with what they got.
                                         
                                        And I'm hoping that if they want something fancy about their hammer, they can just do that.
                                         
                                        They can paint it themselves.
                                         
                                        I also have a bunch of self-adhesive foam and like glue and stuff that they can use to fancy it up all they want.
                                         
                                        Nice.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I'm excited.
                                         
                                        You're now the cool uncle.
                                         
                                        for sure. I hope so. That's what
                                         
                                        I'm going for. Yeah, you should document some
                                         
                                        of this so you can show people off what cool
                                         
                                        stuff you made. That'd be cool.
                                         
                                        Inspire a new generation, Bill. That's your goal.
                                         
    
                                        That's what we're going. That's what we're going.
                                         
                                        All right, very nice. Well, I can't wait to

                                        In the meantime, do you have

                                        YouTube, he decided to go
                                         
                                        get a buzzlight your toy

                                        Hold on, where is it? Here we go.
                                         
                                        This is great. Oh, my God.
                                         
                                        I love the fact that he's got a little video
                                         
    
                                        attached or a little camera attached to this thing.
                                         
                                        Wow.
                                         
                                        Wow. Holy cow. Is that the right way to open a
                                         
                                        toy box?
                                         
                                        He's like using a blow torch
                                         
                                        to open a...
                                         
                                        Makes more more fun video, Brian. You got to
                                         
                                        you know... Oh, yeah.
                                         
    
                                        Let's see what I find that. Oh, that's great.
                                         
                                        Yeah, they had to adjust his wings, his
                                         
                                        Little Wings are a problem, and then they had to add a little bit of propulsion.
                                         
                                        I'll let you watch the video to see what they use.
                                         
                                        I guess a little propulsion propulsion is...
                                         
                                        Like Estes or rockets or whatever these things are.
                                         
                                        Oh, no, these are fireworks.
                                         
                                        Oh, God.
                                         
    
                                        This is great.
                                         
                                        Oh, he's falling over.
                                         
                                        This guy, you know, blow torch for everything.
                                         
                                        This guy is going to...
                                         
                                        These are going to be evidence at some point.
                                         
                                        This guy...
                                         
                                        Like, he's making content.
                                         
                                        Pretty soon he's going to be...
                                         
    
                                        responsible for setting forest fires with his burned up buzz light year.
                                         
                                        Can you imagine the 9,000 acre fire was started by a toy from Toy Story?
                                         
                                        Exactly, yes.
                                         
                                        And they'll question bills and accessory to murder.
                                         
                                        No, that's not true.

                                        Bye now
                                         
                                        Oh his internet's bad
                                         
                                        I know so rough
                                         
    
                                        You had to really, like, it was all a context, right?
                                         
                                        Like, we had to intuit.
                                         
                                        It's like listening to my brother, Matt, speak English.
                                         
                                        It's, you just need to intuit a bunch of it.
                                         
                                        You just have to.
                                         
                                        The words before and after to figure out what, uh.
                                         
                                        Yeah, it's the only way.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
    
                                        Uh, well done.
                                         
                                        Hey, how about this?
                                         
                                        How about, uh, how about it?
                                         
                                        How about a bobby?
                                         
                                        That's pretty good.
                                         
                                        I should go find those clips.
                                         
                                        Go find, uh, see if Veronica will record a new one saying,
                                         
                                        How about a Bobby?
                                         
    
                                        I'll bet we could get her to.
                                         
                                        Her and I haven't talked in a while.
                                         
                                        It's time.
                                         
                                        It's time for some friendship dues.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
                                        I'm going to play this, though.
                                         
                                        Science.
                                         
                                        It is science.
                                         
    
                                        And Bobby's here to talk about some of that science.
                                         
                                        It's Bobby Frankenberger all the way from the beautiful American South.
                                         
                                        joins us each Tuesday.
                                         
                                        And we talk about some science of one sort or another.
                                         
                                        Hello, Bobby.
                                         
                                        Welcome back.
                                         
                                        Thank you.
                                         
                                        It is beautiful in the American South.
                                         
    
                                        It is.
                                         
                                        I love it down there.
                                         
                                        Except, well, you have great.
                                         
                                        food.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
                                        I'll give you that.
                                         
                                        You got your,
                                         
                                        you got these maiter bugs,
                                         
    
                                        I call them.
                                         
                                        It's not the right word.
                                         
                                        Maiter bugs.
                                         
                                        In the spring.
                                         
                                        Are they on tomato plants?
                                         
                                        No, they feature the film cars?
                                         
                                        No, they're mating
                                         
                                        in the air while they fly.
                                         
    
                                        Oh, those flying ant things.
                                         
                                        Oh, we call them hair bugs.
                                         
                                        Oh, well, I call them
                                         
                                        a mouthful of protein because when I
                                         
                                        was down there and on a bike or something,
                                         
                                        if you didn't, if you forgot
                                         
                                        to close your mouth, you would get six or seven
                                         
                                        of these bugs in mid-coitus
                                         
    
                                        and you just eat them
                                         
                                        and there was no way around it. It was awful.
                                         
                                        And they're slow moving
                                         
                                        so it's not like they're
                                         
                                        zipping too fast or whatever. They're just
                                         
                                        like floating and they just
                                         
                                        they're fast on their own but when they're mating
                                         
                                        they're just hovering and it's nasty.
                                         
    
                                        Pops and recline says that's the other
                                         
                                        thing is love bugs. People all over
                                         
                                        call them love bugs but yeah we call
                                         
                                        them hair bugs here. Why
                                         
                                        hair bugs? They're getting your hair? They're in your hair.
                                         
                                        No. Well, only the people with long hair hear that. Not mine. Yeah, not Brian. Brian gets bird poop. That's it he gets.
                                         
                                        Yes, that's what I get. Well, Bobby, it's good to have you back. What are we talking about today? What's going on?
                                         
                                        Well, before we get to what I'm going to talk about, I wanted to tell everybody that I've been, remember, I told you I was going to start streaming some video games.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah. And I started doing what I said I was going to do. I'm streaming Rim World.
                                         
                                        Oh, Rim World, right. I saw your post last night. I meant to pop in and see how it went.
                                         
                                        That's a game I can't get my head around.
                                         
                                        It's got a steep learning curve.
                                         
                                        So I looked up a bunch of guides to get started.
                                         
                                        And once you get started, it's not too bad.
                                         
                                        But we made a world with a bunch of characters of people from the Frog Pants Network,
                                         
                                        people with like 18 different people all over the world.
                                         
    
                                        And you set it up and you start with three.
                                         
                                        and then you'll slowly encounter and find other people and hopefully have them join your colony.
                                         
                                        And it's been fun so far.
                                         
                                        We've got, we started off with just me and the two of you who landed on this island or this planet.
                                         
                                        And we were trying to make things work, building things.
                                         
                                        And Brian, you started the drama first actually.
                                         
                                        Of course.
                                         
                                        Yeah, that sounds about right.
                                         
    
                                        You're an early riser.
                                         
                                        You don't sleep as much as the other people.
                                         
                                        That's actually accurate.
                                         
                                        I tried to accurately make these people as to my ability.
                                         
                                        And there's a trait called, I can't remember what it's called,
                                         
                                        but basically it makes it so that you don't need as much sleep.
                                         
                                        But you would get up.
                                         
                                        We were a one-room place.
                                         
    
                                        You'd get up and you'd start turning rocks into bricks in the middle of the room
                                         
                                        where we were all sleeping and that caused some drama because we weren't too happy about that.
                                         
                                        Right about the noise, sure.
                                         
                                        I get it.
                                         
                                        But anyway, we got a bunch of stuff.
                                         
                                        We found Tom Merritt, Bo Schwartz, joined us.
                                         
                                        Oh, wow.
                                         
                                        Amy Frost.
                                         
    
                                        Amy Frost is funny because she tried to attack our colony first.
                                         
                                        Oh, geez.
                                         
                                        And we had to stop her and try not to kill her and then convert her.
                                         
                                        You should have done it.

                                        when you stream that game because I want to
                                         
                                        understand it more. I feel like it's this crazy
                                         
                                        overwhelmingly positive reviews since
                                         
                                        it came out. Everybody raves about it
                                         
                                        and I just, I have it
                                         
                                        but I launch it and I just go, I don't
                                         
                                        know what I'm doing. It's overwhelming at first.
                                         
                                        You have to set up. It's one of these
                                         
    
                                        types of games where there's a lot of like
                                         
                                        planning and setup before you can, because it's
                                         
                                        all simulation, right? You don't directly
                                         
                                        control anything. Yeah. So
                                         
                                        isn't it basically, it's dwarf fortress
                                         
                                        but like a modern, more modern
                                         
                                        take on it's like a yeah it's a more modern version of dwarf fortress it the graphics aren't that
                                         
                                        much better i guess it's but uh but they are better and and it's that is the one thing that
                                         
    
                                        throws me is it so damned ugly uh i wish somebody cartoony so so rim world is more cartoony than
                                         
                                        than dwarf fortress was yeah um because that game was like it was like asky art when it first
                                         
                                        came out right yeah oh yeah it was very very old very ugly um and and i don't know rim world's while
                                         
                                        an improvement is still pretty freaking ugly.
                                         
                                        However, why couldn't
                                         
                                        they just skin this thing, man?
                                         
                                        It's like meeples. You got a little meeple running around.
                                         
                                        I wish they could skin it like a modern
                                         
    
                                        game or something, but whatever.
                                         
                                        Well, there are a lot of, I mean, if you get on Steam,
                                         
                                        there's a lot of, I think that might be the only
                                         
                                        place you can get it. There's a lot of mods for it, right?
                                         
                                        In the Steam Workshop. That's true.
                                         
                                        Somebody's probably done an overhaul graphic mod or
                                         
                                        something. I always like those.
                                         
                                        Well, all right, now you're
                                         
    
                                        now you're making me tempted to try it
                                         
                                        again. Well done. Well done.
                                         
                                        You just have to look up a guide.
                                         
                                        That's all I did.
                                         
                                        It taught you how to get started.
                                         
                                        I'm not here to just talk about that.
                                         
                                        I just wanted to let people know that I was doing it.
                                         
                                        I don't have a regular schedule.
                                         
    
                                        So just follow Twitch.combe-Franx, and I'll let you know when I'm coming on.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
                                        But I've got kids in a life and stuff.
                                         
                                        Sure.
                                         
                                        I'm not trying to make a living out of this.
                                         
                                        Anyway, I wanted to talk about traffic.
                                         
                                        Oh, sweet.
                                         
                                        Traffic and weather on the nines with Bobby Franks.
                                         
    
                                        Traffic science.
                                         
                                        Yeah, there is a lot
                                         
                                        surprisingly of traffic science
                                         
                                        which makes sense if you think about it
                                         
                                        because traffic and the flow of traffic
                                         
                                        is sort of like
                                         
                                        the lifeblood of a city, right?
                                         
                                        The city lives and dies on how well
                                         
    
                                        traffic can flow through it.
                                         
                                        And if traffic can't flow smoothly
                                         
                                        through a city, it's hard for it to grow
                                         
                                        and if it's going to grow and get more and more people
                                         
                                        then it needs to be able to move people through it
                                         
                                        very easily so there's all ever since the 30s when really when when cars started to be really
                                         
                                        really common people have been studying traffic and so I was doing some research on this because
                                         
                                        I'm going to talk about it on one of the episodes I record tonight with Mora for the podcast
                                         
    
                                        and as I was researching it all I thought it'd be fun to talk about some of this and in particular
                                         
                                        I wanted to talk about something called phantom traffic jams oh no no no no
                                         
                                        No. Is it when an old lady rubbernecks because there's a wreck and, oh, no, now everything's slow?
                                         
                                        So there's a lot to? It's an old radio show.
                                         
                                        Ah, my Morris Minor just stopped for the cars.
                                         
                                        Welcome to this week on Phantom Traffic Jams.
                                         
                                        There you go.
                                         
                                        Wow. That was something.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        So basically, have you ever been on the interstate driving and, and every.
                                         
                                        Everything seems to stop, and then you're slowed or stopped for a while, and then it starts up again, and you never saw anything.
                                         
                                        Oh, yeah, all the time.
                                         
                                        I hate that.
                                         
                                        Nothing.
                                         
                                        There seemed to be nothing there.
                                         
                                        That is a phantom traffic jammer.
                                         
    
                                        They call them phantom bottlenecks as well.
                                         
                                        And did you ever think that you knew?
                                         
                                        Like, I used to think there must have been an accident that I've just missed.
                                         
                                        Oh, yeah, no, I was always sure.
                                         
                                        Or maybe they just cleaned it up right as I got to the end of it or something like that.
                                         
                                        Well, I saw a video, like, for a while, there was this viral.
                                         
                                        video going around talking about
                                         
                                        if you follow somebody too close
                                         
    
                                        and then they like
                                         
                                        tap on their brakes and their brake lights
                                         
                                        come on, you stop, you probably
                                         
                                        stop more and cause this
                                         
                                        new slowdown and then all of a sudden
                                         
                                        it just has this ripple effect on creating
                                         
                                        this
                                         
                                        you know, this place where everybody stops
                                         
    
                                        for absolutely no reason
                                         
                                        whatsoever. Right. Right. You've
                                         
                                        kind of nailed what happens
                                         
                                        with these phantom traffic
                                         
                                        jams. So in general
                                         
                                        what you're describing is right
                                         
                                        when someone
                                         
                                        especially on a high speed
                                         
    
                                        road like the interstate
                                         
                                        highway or freeway
                                         
                                        you know
                                         
                                        when you're following close behind someone
                                         
                                        if you press on the brakes
                                         
                                        then the person behind you
                                         
                                        has to press on the brakes
                                         
                                        a little bit more
                                         
    
                                        because of the
                                         
                                        because of the reaction time delay
                                         
                                        right so they they're going to
                                         
                                        If they were to press the brakes at exactly the same time as you, they could theoretically press it for exactly the same amount of time as you did because then you'll both stop.
                                         
                                        But they don't.
                                         
                                        So they have to slow down more quickly and press it harder, which then causes the people behind them to have to do it even harder than them and so on and so forth.
                                         
                                        And it causes a ripple, like you said, but they call it a shock wave down the line of traffic.
                                         
                                        And if there's enough, if there are enough vehicles on the road and the, and there are enough vehicles on the road and the,
                                         
    
                                        following close enough to each other, which if you have a lot of vehicles on the road,
                                         
                                        face it, they're all going to be pretty close to each other.
                                         
                                        Then that shockwave can go far enough back to where it stops traffic.
                                         
                                        And then the reverse will eventually happen once that first car accelerates again,
                                         
                                        then the next car behind it, the shockwave goes in reverse and there's an acceleration shockwave, right?
                                         
                                        and so that's why you have this experience where you seem to be slowed a lot or even stopped and then nothing was there and it's just because some some idiot was it probably isn't the person who stopped or slowed down actually it's likely the person who is following too close yeah absolutely the um yeah for a while i was when i still try to be conscious conscious of it that you're the ideal way to keep this from happening you
                                         
                                        is to not necessarily don't follow too close obviously don't don't tailgate but to maintain
                                         
                                        equal distance between the car in front of you and the car behind you so if they come up you come up
                                         
    
                                        a little bit more and but i don't know if that's really true so i'm i'm hoping that you explain
                                         
                                        that so so when that viral sort of
                                         
                                        video that you were talking explanation that was going around it's a good way to say to
                                         
                                        a viral explanation because there were a lot of people making videos and stuff about this
                                         
                                        a little while back, that was based on some research that was done modeling traffic and
                                         
                                        computers and AI algorithms and everything. And they did find, you're right, that if in the
                                         
                                        algorithm you programmed in where all the traffic tried to keep equal distance between the car in
                                         
                                        front of them and the car behind them, then that minimized the effects of these shockwaves.
                                         
    
                                        And it makes sense because if the car in front of you is far
                                         
                                        enough in front of you, then when it presses on its break, you have time to react. You don't have
                                         
                                        to press on the break as much. Or maybe you don't have to press on the break at all. Right. Right.
                                         
                                        Because you have time to react. But if you're too close and it's not. So they did find that.
                                         
                                        And that's how they programmed it was keeping equal distance in front of you and behind you.
                                         
                                        It's very hard to do that with other people on the road. But if everyone were to change their behavior in the way that they
                                         
                                        think about things and just try to keep, you know, a certain amount of distance between you and
                                         
                                        the car in front of you. If everyone's doing that, then naturally it would mean that the car's
                                         
    
                                        behind you would be a good distance away as well, right?
                                         
                                        Presumably, sure.
                                         
                                        Yeah. So that's the best way to avoid that situation. You're right. But it's also, bottlenecks
                                         
                                        in general are just caused by this human-
                                         
                                        error and slowing down.
                                         
                                        Whatever situation happens on the road that causes slowed traffic.
                                         
                                        You know how when you're on the interstate and one car in one of the lanes is going really
                                         
                                        slow, right?
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, my favorite.
                                         
                                        That can also cause a problem.
                                         
                                        You might think, well, everybody could just go around that person, but it effectively turns a
                                         
                                        It effectively reduces the number of lanes by one, having one person there, because if everybody's moving, if one lane of traffic is slower, then you can think about, like, if everybody's trying to move past it, that's, you can almost think about that slow lane as not being an effective driving lane, right?
                                         
                                        Because people are trying to move through, move faster than that, right?
                                         
                                        Right.
                                         
                                        And so what ends up happening is someone gets close behind that person.
                                         
                                        everybody does it right you you you don't want to change lanes so you do end up following too close behind that person because in your head you're thinking they'll see me yeah yeah right they'll see me get really close and they'll get out of the way i'll chase them out of my lane yeah right exactly but that doesn't happen so you get behind the person and then you and then you want to go around them or even if the person does get out of the way it still causes a lane change and lane changing causes people to press
                                         
    
                                        on brakes, and pressing on the brakes
                                         
                                        causes this shockwave, right?
                                         
                                        This is why we need automated cars sooner than
                                         
                                        later. Yeah, yeah. That is
                                         
                                        absolutely, I think, one of the
                                         
                                        benefits that will happen from self-driving
                                         
                                        cars is that
                                         
                                        they'll be able to... But everybody's got to
                                         
    
                                        do it, right? Right, exactly.
                                         
                                        There have to be a lot of self-driving cars
                                         
                                        for that time, because that's another thing in the research I was
                                         
                                        doing is that you would think that
                                         
                                        self-driving cars will end up reducing
                                         
                                        traffic congestion, right? Because even
                                         
                                        in cities, self-driving cars
                                         
                                        will find like the most optimum path and it might not be the shortest path right but it'll be
                                         
    
                                        the fastest one yeah it'll reduce overall congestion but they actually found that if only part of
                                         
                                        the cars on the road are autonomous driving cars autonomous vehicles it actually for the short term
                                         
                                        until enough until you reach a certain threshold it increases traffic congestion and it's because
                                         
                                        both the drivers on the road and the algorithms in the in the the AI of the cars all are trying to
                                         
                                        compensate for each other so so as an AI programmer you have to put into the code some sort of
                                         
                                        an understanding that some of the people on the road are not going to be automated drivers right
                                         
                                        so you have to so it'll it'll drive slower and more carefully than it could
                                         
                                        if everything on the road was autonomous, right?
                                         
    
                                        Right.
                                         
                                        So that ends up slowing things down.
                                         
                                        Traffic is so complicated.
                                         
                                        It's going to be weird.
                                         
                                        I'm going to think about this when I'm on the road next.
                                         
                                        I don't know if this is good or bad,
                                         
                                        but next time I hit any kind of snag of traffic,
                                         
                                        this is all I'm going to think about is the science of it,
                                         
    
                                        because it's going to drive me nuts.
                                         
                                        Because I'm going to know that we are all falling to these moments of,
                                         
                                        like, what we think is, oh, must be a wreck in front of us,
                                         
                                        Or that lady moved too quick.
                                         
                                        Or I hit the brakes because that guy's blinker's been on for too long.
                                         
                                        Or whatever.
                                         
                                        Like all these little things.
                                         
                                        And I'm going to know that we're all contributing to this slowdown because we're stupid.
                                         
    
                                        And it's going to bug the crap out of me.
                                         
                                        The worst part is that when you start to think about this and you realize that,
                                         
                                        you'll realize that you are always and still part of the problem.
                                         
                                        You can't not be part of the problem unless everybody changes their behavior, you know?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Because we're all just part of this one collection.
                                         
                                        like fluid of traffic um and so your change your individual changes is is is very small and
                                         
                                        doesn't make a lot of a difference because you're just you're just one tiny speck of a car yeah
                                         
    
                                        you're a tiny you're you're you're an atom in the overall you're what are you you're one organ
                                         
                                        in a big complicated body how about that yeah yeah yeah that's not bad yeah you're one little
                                         
                                        tiny, meep-a-looking guy in your game of the thing you're playing.
                                         
                                        His name I just forgot for some reason.

                                        Yeah, you're one rim and a world.
                                         
                                        How about that?
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Interesting.
                                         
                                        So, I don't know if you've said this, but what inspired this topic?
                                         
                                        Like, what were you thinking about?
                                         
                                        Were you in the car?
                                         
                                        Like, that's happening.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Spending a lot of time driving.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        It's the summertime.
                                         
                                        We've got to visit family, and I'm always thinking about, it might,
                                         
                                        surprise you to know that I'm always thinking about science. So when I'm driving, I do think about
                                         
                                        this a lot. I've actually wanted to do a thing on the show about traffic for a long time, but
                                         
                                        it's kind of hard to do a feature on traffic without just listing like, here's a bunch of cool
                                         
                                        sciencey facts about traffic. And I like things to be a little bit more cohesive when we do it.
                                         
                                        But tonight we're doing like recording a double episode because of scheduling stuff. So we're
                                         
    
                                        recording two episodes in one night, so one of them is just going to be me talking about,
                                         
                                        because I don't have time to prepare two whole things in, anyway.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        That, you don't care how I plan the thing.
                                         
                                        What, um, what you care about is that it won't be this Monday, but the next Monday
                                         
                                        will be the episode that comes out, uh, with talking about traffic.
                                         
                                        We're going to, we're going to, I'm going to talk about more than just this, uh, these phantom traffic jams to,
                                         
                                        what causes traffic inside a city as well,
                                         
    
                                        things that like the length of city blocks
                                         
                                        and the timing of green lights
                                         
                                        and all sorts of things.
                                         
                                        How to improve traffic.
                                         
                                        What people are doing to try to figure that out
                                         
                                        and you always got to throw in traffic stats.
                                         
                                        Stats are,
                                         
                                        we love stats on science shows.
                                         
    
                                        Wow.
                                         
                                        Wow.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
                                        Cool.
                                         
                                        Fantastic.
                                         
                                        You want more?
                                         
                                        All around science, baby.
                                         
                                        I like this kind of stuff.
                                         
    
                                        It doesn't always have to be about, you know, like you do a lot of really important coverage.
                                         
                                        Like, well, we talk about climate changes.
                                         
                                        What does it mean?
                                         
                                        Or we're talking about COVID.
                                         
                                        What does it mean?
                                         
                                        But this is like, hey, also, here's an everyday thing you don't think that much about.
                                         
                                        Why not understand it better next time you're out there on the road?
                                         
                                        Yeah, that's what we like to do.
                                         
    
                                        Because on our podcast, all around science, we just love science in general.
                                         
                                        and so sometimes we just get geeky about science-y stuff, right?
                                         
                                        Before I go, I did need to make sure I announced that we just yesterday launched our Patreon.
                                         
                                        I feel weird promoting something like that on someone else's social,
                                         
                                        so I'm not going to spend a lot of time talking about it.
                                         
                                        If you like our show already, you'll hear about it,
                                         
                                        but I wanted to let everybody know that they can find that.
                                         
                                        And, but in conjunction with that, we launched a Discord community server,
                                         
    
                                        so you can find that also go go do that everybody because bobby's there for you he's your frank
                                         
                                        he's your frank and your burger okay you'll you'll have a cool show to listen to while you're in traffic
                                         
                                        and understand why you're in traffic yeah and then you'll feel less less inclined toward road rage
                                         
                                        perhaps you know no you it'll make you angrier I will right because it's that person right
                                         
                                        there you all like everyone thinks my wife is all sweet and nice and kind and she is
                                         
                                        is, but you put her behind a wheel and somebody does something dumb in the lane next to her,
                                         
                                        you will see a different human being.
                                         
                                        And I don't think I want her to hear this, because it'll just make her matter.
                                         
    
                                        The other day, double bird had her elbows on the wheel, double birded the other guy.
                                         
                                        F you, buddy.
                                         
                                        Oh, my gosh.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I love that she still steers with her elbows, like, just to give somebody the finger.
                                         
                                        It's not like, nope, one finger hand on 10 and 2.
                                         
                                        Yeah, she is not one to be messed with on the road.
                                         
                                        She's not proud of it, but she gets really pissed at other drivers.
                                         
    
                                        Put that on TikTok, Scott.
                                         
                                        I know.
                                         
                                        I really should.
                                         
                                        Why am I not?
                                         
                                        Why am I not?
                                         
                                        I'm sitting right next to her.
                                         
                                        I'm not driving.
                                         
                                        I may as well film it.
                                         
    
                                        That's what I'm a deal.
                                         
                                        All right, Bobby, always a pleasure.
                                         
                                        All around science, everybody, go find it.
                                         
                                        We will see you soon.

                                        Bye now.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        See you.
                                         
    
                                        Thank you, he says.
                                         
                                        Thank you.
                                         
                                        Thank you.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
                                        Let's get to the dregs of the show, but not the dregs in a bad way, not in a negative way.
                                         
                                        Oh, gosh, I know.
                                         
                                        That sounds such a good.
                                         
                                        negative tone. Yeah, it has a pejorative tone
                                         
    
                                        to it, but it doesn't because this is where we play
                                         
                                        a mashup. This is called TMS
                                         
                                        mashup Doja Cat
                                         
                                        S-P-T. This is an
                                         
                                        SPT, which is
                                         
                                        or Dojo Cat. Scott pronounces things.
                                         
                                        Scott pronounces things, you're right, which
                                         
                                        explains the dojo cat.
                                         
    
                                        Dojo Cat. By the way, I really like her
                                         
                                        duet with Post Malone on his new
                                         
                                        album. This is so
                                         
                                        ironic. Like Post Malone
                                         
                                        his songs are, you know,
                                         
                                        kind of all over the place, but it's not really kid-friendly most of the time.
                                         
                                        And Doge Cat, for sure, her music is absolutely not kid-friendly.
                                         
                                        But those two get together, and they made the most wholesome song on any of his albums.
                                         
    
                                        It's the sweetest song about just having a friend who's a girl, but it doesn't have to be more than that.
                                         
                                        Just a friend I like to shop with and hang out with.
                                         
                                        And it's this silly little, I don't know how to explain it.
                                         
                                        It's really odd.
                                         
                                        I don't know that song, so I'm going to have to go listen to it.
                                         
                                        You're going to have to check it out.
                                         
                                        It's a pretty good.
                                         
                                        The whole album's pretty good.
                                         
    
                                        But anyway, here we go.
                                         
                                        Here is that mashup from TMS mashups.
                                         
                                        On Jamie, enjoy.
                                         
                                        Just an early get-you-wet kind of,
                                         
                                        yeah, wet your whistle.
                                         
                                        I'm wet.
                                         
                                        Thank you.
                                         
                                        Bum plug.
                                         
    
                                        So we all know about this Gisillane Maxwell.
                                         
                                        Gailene Maxwell.
                                         
                                        Is it Gellane?
                                         
                                        Yes.
                                         
                                        It's not Gis-Lane.
                                         
                                        I know, but Gis-Lane is great.
                                         
                                        It's pretty good.
                                         
                                        start calling her Gis Lane.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, I think Gis Lane might be the appropriate deal.
                                         
                                        And Chris, Chris, Chris, Wala cacottis, Walla cacottis.

                                        Wallachatis.
                                         
                                        Wallachatatis.
                                         
                                        Damn, hey, you have me doing it.
                                         
                                        Wallachatus.
                                         
                                        Kardashian made the promise that we fully believe she'll keep.
                                         
    
                                        The brunette broody, booty, booty, beauty.
                                         
                                        All of which are correct.
                                         
                                        Yeah, I guess every one of those variations.
                                         
                                        The broody, booty, beauty.
                                         
                                        The 400 has been identified as Sandeep Turkum, Pawa Mangesh, Janitar, Janathar, Jandatar, Kamatarktakar, and Ashki-Sun-Nol.
                                         
                                        We're giving out their names here on GMS.
                                         
                                        That's fine.
                                         
                                        If we could pronounce them.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, it's not even a good doxing.
                                         
                                        It can't say these names, right.
                                         
                                        Here's another word I've never known how to pronounce anise or anise or whatever.
                                         
                                        You're saying anus.
                                         
                                        Yeah, right.
                                         
                                        You boil your peanuts with licorice flavor.
                                         
                                        So you're saying boil your peanuts.
                                         
                                        genus in an anus. Is that what I heard?
                                         
    
                                        That's exactly what I said.
                                         
                                        Both holes.
                                         
                                        Chanita Kudram, I'm going to say.
                                         
                                        Sure. Shot Buccini Moostin.
                                         
                                        Oh, let's go Boon Chooey.
                                         
                                        Boon Chooey, Mooseeton.
                                         
                                        Okay, yours is better.
                                         
                                        I like Boon Chui.
                                         
    
                                        Boon Chui. That's like a buffed chewy.
                                         
                                        The case was taken to the Indian Penel Penal Court.
                                         
                                        Sorry, not Penal. It's penal.
                                         
                                        Come on, yeah.
                                         
                                        Perfect opportunity to push that penal court.
                                         
                                        When I just spent the last two minutes trying to pronounce a bunch of Indian names,
                                         
                                        nothing else looks right now.
                                         
                                        It's all wrong.
                                         
    
                                        This is good.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        This is good.
                                         
                                        Yeah, just don't keep going to like new ones like Dojo Cat and some of these guys.
                                         
                                        It's all vaginas all the time.
                                         
                                        That's all it is.
                                         
                                        Dojo Cat.
                                         
                                        It ended up being a few minutes of a Troja Cat?
                                         
    
                                        Sorry, Doja Cat.
                                         
                                        Doja.
                                         
                                        I had a few minutes of...
                                         
                                        She's teaching karate to Johnny Lauren.
                                         
                                        Feline kitty karate.
                                         
                                        I mean, very excited.
                                         
                                        I can't figure out why I enjoy more.
                                         
                                        Our old age or our whiteness.
                                         
    
                                        I can't figure out.
                                         
                                        There's something.
                                         
                                        We got a little film sack in there.
                                         
                                        Yeah, a little film sack.

                                        Anyway, there you go.
                                         
    
                                        Thanks, Jamie.
                                         
                                        That was awesome, as always.
                                         
                                        And that's it.
                                         
                                        I want to remind people Tuesdays are for play retrods for old games.
                                         
                                        Tonight we're talking about the Dreamcast, the Sega that could have been.
                                         
                                        had things been a little different for them in terms of competition.
                                         
                                        So we're going to talk about that launch, the best games on that thing,
                                         
                                        and what the world looks like without a dreamcast today.
                                         
    
                                        Why Sony, really?
                                         
                                        It destroyed Sega's dreams.
                                         
                                        Okay, that's what happened.
                                         
                                        The PlayStation 2 destroyed them.
                                         
                                        Anyway, that's tonight.
                                         
                                        Play Retro.

                                        It's probably origin.
                                         
                                        Yeah, with a C-Z Polish or Hungarian or Austrian.

                                        I would like to request the rock cover of a good country song.

                                        There was another popular country duo that recorded it.
                                         
                                        Shoot, and I don't have it in front of me.
                                         
                                        So let's just say, okay, I'm Mark Wills.
                                         
                                        Because he was the first person to record it.
                                         
                                        He was the writer of the track, I believe.
                                         
    
                                        But this is a great version, a great rock version.

                                        the most. This is by state of mind
                                         
                                        from a single of the same

                                        is, what hurts the most. All right, that'll
                                         
                                        do it. We'll be back tomorrow with the Wednesday
                                         
    
                                        edition of the show. It feels weird not having a Monday
                                         
                                        because of the holiday, but whatever.
                                         
                                        It is what it is. But we'll be here. We've got all the stuff we plan on
                                         
                                        Wednesday. So come on back then. We'll see you
                                         
                                        then.
                                         
                                        I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
                                         
                                        That don't bother me
                                         
                                        I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
                                         
    
                                        I'm not afraid to cry
                                         
                                        Every once in a while
                                         
                                        Even though going on with you going still upset
                                         
                                        me there are days every now and again i pretend i'm okay but that is not what gives me what hurts the most
                                         
                                        is being so close and having so much to say and watching you walk away and never know when what could have been
                                         
                                        and not seeing that loving you is what I'm trying to do
                                         
                                        It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
                                         
                                        But I'm doing it
                                         
    
                                        It's hard to force that smile when I see your friends and I'm alone
                                         
                                        Still harder getting up getting dressed
                                         
                                        breathing with this regret but I know if I could do it over I would tread give away all the words
                                         
                                        that I say to my heart that I had learned and spoken what hurts the most is being so close
                                         
                                        and having so much to say watching you walk away and never know when you know when
                                         
                                        What could have been
                                         
                                        And I've seen that loving you
                                         
                                        Is what I was saying to do
                                         
    
                                        Ooh
                                         
                                        What hurts the most is being so close
                                         
                                        Having so much to sing
                                         
                                        And watching you walk away
                                         
                                        And never knowing
                                         
                                        What could have been
                                         
                                        I'm not seeing that loving you
                                         
                                        Is what I was signed to do
                                         
    
                                        And that's what I was trying to.

                                        I decided to pursue medicine once I realized that ASU did have the online program for biological sciences.
                                         
                                        You're still required to learn the same curriculum.
                                         
                                        You're still being tested on the same content that anyone would be tested on in person.
                                         
                                        the comprehensiveness of the program
                                         
                                        prepared me so well for medical school.
