This is the morning stream. Hold on to your butts. Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream for Thursday, June 30th, 2022. Last day of the month. How are you going to celebrate, Brian? What are you doing?

I'm going to celebrate by kicking June 22 in the butt and out of my life forever. Right in the corn shoot. That's right. Exactly. Right out the door. I like it. Goodbye, June. You were weird. Exactly. You were weird, June. You were weird. You were weird last night. Even last night, it was weird. We were sitting there trying to sleep, you know, laying there in bed there. And I hear like this really low starting through. Like it was really loud noise out the thing.

And I'm like, is that somebody's cars? Is that a neighbor being an idiot? What's going on? No, it's freaking June. It's June, a thunder, man. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah, with so much thunder last night. We don't get thunder very often around here. Yeah, we had lightning and, yeah, we had lightning, light rain, but a lot of lightning and probably thunder. We had our windows closed, so I didn't hear it, but.

Yeah, I would assume so. That's far enough away. It dissipates, but, yeah, it was this crazy. And the whole day yesterday would be like 98 degrees and super hot and sunny. And then five minutes later, a microburst rain thing would happen. And then it would go away again. And then it would be normal. And then it was no warning.

It was like living in Mississippi. You just get these like sudden, sudden. sudden storms. I kind of like that. I kind of like them, too. I don't mind them. But I don't think it's normal for June, but whatever. Do whatever you do.

Listen, weather, I can't control you. And you can't control me. Okay? That's right. That's our relationship. You just, you keep on being the weather. I'll keep on being the guy who's in your, in your weather. All right?

Hey, look, you know, and I hear the forecast says that there's going to be thunder a week from now as well, along with a little bit of love. Oh, love and thunder. Love and thunder, one week from today. I can't believe how fast that happened. I know, I know. Who's our bad guys? It's Christian Bale.

It's Christian Bale as Gore the Godbreaker. That's right. Godbreaker, God killer, right? God Killer? I think God, Gore the God Killer. God inconveniencer. Yeah. And then, you know, Brian mostly is a.

excited about that new minions movie so there's that's really that is really what i'm excited about yes yeah god butcher thank you god butcher god butcher uh the guy that so you can get uh let's see i'd like uh how's how lean is that uh is that god rumbrose oh yeah well get some of the shoulder yeah maybe he's dating alice you know you get a little relationship going there hey it's a throwback to your old 70 sitcoms of yore everybody all right i got an email i want to read it's an interesting one Oh, just a quick note about programming today. Normal show right up until there is no windy. She's still in international waters and will not be here today.

So just know that. We'll do things kind of like we did last week. It's really abnormal show, right? Because we're putting news after the music. Yeah. It's like last week, basically, everybody. Yeah, right, exactly. So strap in and enjoy.

We got an email from Tony C. I'm not sure I know who that is. Every time there's a Tony, I think of Tony in Vegas, who's now not in Vegas. Right. Tony Sandoval? He's a Tony S. You don't think of Tony P? Where did they end up moving? I don't remember.

When he docked him? He went in like Missouri or something, just like Nicole or something like that. Something like that. They did go east. Yeah, and I can't remember where. Yeah, I don't remember either. Anyway, not in Vegas anymore. He's got a little kid and super cute and proud of those guys. Anyway, Tony C.U. is not that person at all.

Wrote in and said, Scarf and Braggart. Oh, wow. Okay. All right. I don't know. I'm trying to figure out. We're just going, wow, I, you know, I brag all the time and I'm really good at it. So whatever. All right.

Then you're a bit of a braggart, although he spelled it wrong. Yeah, that's not correct, is it? Braggart. But it should be two, two Gs and braggart. Unless that's like a different, unless that's some other reference that I'm not getting. Oh, maybe. That's a good point. Well, either way here, Tony, see, I don't know why I'm scarf.

I make you cozy and the cold around your neck. I don't know what I'm for. Yeah, I don't know. Anyway, Scott mentioned his little car chase in high school yesterday. And I was wondering, have either of you been chased by police and either gotten away or got stopped? I guess this can be on foot or in a car. Thanks for anything, or thanks for answering my strange question. Rowe the boat, though, Tony C.

So I assume he means like an actual chase, not pull over. Yeah, not like a ticket. I got chased for about half a block. And then I got pulled, then I pulled over and when there was finally a shoulder. Yeah, and had a lovely exchange with the man. No, I don't, I've never run. Let me think, let me think before I say that. No, there was a time, okay, there was a time in high school where we avoided some cops.

Yeah. But I never was, I've never been chased by a cop ever, on foot or in car or any of that. Have you ever? I have. Oh. So. Oh. All right.

So let me regale you with the story really quickly of one night in Longmont, Colorado. Let's say the year was it was the 80s. Okay, it was right after, I can pinpoint the place. So let's see. Art of Noise, Dwayne, Eddie, Peter Gunn theme, when that, when did that, that song come out? So there it is. 83. 86.

Okay, 1986. Okay. So the Art of Noise cover of the Peter Gunn theme with Dwayne Eddy had just come out. And that's only relevant because I had to figure out the timeline based on music because of a boom box that was brought along with us. All right. So on weekends, sometimes my dad used to take me with him up to Carter Lake, which is up northwest of where I'm at. It's a big lake, sailing lake. he would take his boat up there.

His boat would actually be moored up there. Sometimes we'd take my boat up there. And sometimes we wouldn't and I just kind of hang out and cruise the shoreline, hang out with another guy that was the son of my dad's crew. My dad's crew used to be this guy named Mike Mosby. And his son, though he would come along, close to my age, was a guy named Don Mosby.

Don Mosby was, listen, I was relegated to distant, distant wingman whenever Don was in the room. Don was in our wedding. I could show you photos of the guy. He is a freaking handsome lad. He is a, you know.

A Don Juan, really. A Don Juan, yeah. You know, strong jaw, good looking. And basically, I would get, when there were girls up at the lake, I would get, sometimes I would get whichever one wasn't interested in Donnie.

Sometimes, if there were two, they'd both be interested in Donnie and I'd just basically be conversation while he was deciding between the two of them. Sure. He had that power. I get it. Exactly.

So one weekend, we decided we wanted to kind of hang out in Longmont. There was a girl that Don liked, or Donnie, I guess at the time we were calling him Donnie, that he liked, that lived in Longmont, and we were going to hang out with her. But the only way to do that was to have my dad drop us off in Longmont, along with all of our stuff. and then we would spend the night there and then take the bus back down to Denver in the morning on a Monday morning. It was middle of summer, obviously, no school or anything like that. Sure. Makes sense. Seems dangerous to just let a couple of 15-year-olds, whatever, you know, run around on their own for a night without any supervision, but whatever. We hid all of our belongings except for my boombox and a cassette of the Art of Not.

Covery's cover of the Peter Gunn theme. Yeah. And proceeded to kind of, I don't know, cause miniature mayhem in Longmont. We went to the Twin Peaks Mall. Donnie had some fireworks that we would fit in between the doors to fire fireworks into, like, bottle rockets, into the mall. Okay. Through the glass doors. Did some of that growing up, yeah.

Did some of that. It was about that time that we heard the sirens. So we, you know, we high-tailed it over to the Walmart next door where we got all of the carts that were in the corrals and spread them all over the parking lot doing demolition derbies and stuff like that. And it was at that point that the cassette, that the boombox in the child seat area of the basket that I was pushing somehow got pulled. pushed as it was playing the art of noise and into record mode. And we have a little bit of recording somewhere of Donnie and I like, oh yeah, run into that one. Oh, cool. Oh, man. Okay, the sirens are coming. Let's hike. Let's hike. Let's hike. That's he did say. Let's hike. That was his let's get out of here sound.

It was let's hike. Brian, Brian, let's hike. Wow. And that pretty much just went on for the entire night. Basically it was like, you know, after the curfew of his girlfriend, we kind of just were let loose in that town and just screwing around finally got back to the bus station at 7 a.m. and made our way back to Denver.

I've looked him up. I haven't been able to find them on Facebook or anything to because I haven't seen him like since about a year after the wedding. We kind of lost touch and man. That's what happens to your high school friends. I don't talk. I don't hardly see any of those people anymore. Yeah. Just too much

time passed. So you got but it's not really a chase though. Really? I mean, you know what I mean? Like it didn't end The sirens, no, the police cars came to the Twin Peaks Mall. The police cars then went to Walmart, but we had, we had kind of long gone after both of those places. Or, you know, we never were on, like, we never were seen by the cops. They just ended up at all of our, all of our leavings and all of our destruction and mayhem. So you were, you were always a step ahead of the law, basically, is what you're saying.

Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, I mean, chase, okay, maybe not technically a chase, but, uh, yeah. Still, you know, you were, you were fiddling with, uh, fire there. We were, we were, we were basically, uh, playing with, with the law. Yeah. Take that. Uh, what are they, the fuzz or whatever term you want to use? We really inconvenienced that Walmart cart collector guy who had to come out the next day. Oh, my gosh. You really got him, didn't you? We're re-monsters. So when people say the fuzz, where did that come from?

I know there's a TV show. Oh, I don't know. Yeah, the, uh, let's see. Oh, here we go. I found it. It comes from the fact that a lot of police back in the 60s joined straight out of the military, and they brought with them a very short military haircut that gave them the appearance of fuzz. So when they took off their hats, your first comment on bay, oh, look, it's the fuzz.

And that's stuck. So there you go. Cheese it. It's the fuzz. Yeah, I do like that phrase. It's pretty good. Also, don't read Toom further down the Urban Dictionary because some other stuff as well. Definitely not.

No good there. All right. I've got to look at that again. Here's another one from more ho. Or not from more hoes. This is from Brian from Denver, not you, but Brian down. From more hoes sending us email. Yeah, we got more hoes writing in.

Hi, my pimp is a big fan of your show. He really loves the show. He walks down the street with his cane and his huge coat and then listens to your show. His giant hat. Yeah. Bram, brim, brim, brim. Anyway, here's what Brian from Denver. Brian Dowd from Denver says.

He says, hi, Scott. So I had the TV on this afternoon and happened to glance over where a hose commercial was running. And what did I see? A little kid drinking from the hose. Oh, really? Yeah. But to set your mind at ease, the hose had an attachment, which I assume filters out all of the nightmares. It looked like a hot weather hose.

or look like hot weather hose drinking is now safe for a whole new generation. I thought I'd let you know, Brian from Denver. So apparently this is a device. You put it on there and it'll filter the water. So when a kid drinks out of the hose, he's not getting like rust water or whatever. All right. I'm trying to think.

Have I ever seen a hose commercial? I guess I have because there was that, that Ron Papil, Ronco hose that like, it's this big when you, you know, when it's being stored. But then when it's, when you attach it to a faucet, oh right when it was flat you're right right you could roll it up easily and those always were bad those were always those would not hold up those hoses it felt like no no problems yeah problematic oh yeah here we go like uh here's a 19 oh that's leg hose i don't want that

like panty hose yeah somebody oh this is interesting okay let me see what this is hold on we're gonna we're gonna that's we're gonna see all right burn You weren't going to drink this, were you, burn? Burn, this is tap water. This comes from that place downtown that goes, you know what you should be drinking, burn? Trouts, pure spring water. Burn, it's guaranteed pure and clean, natural.

Know what I mean? Burn that tap water is so bad they have to put a drain under it to get rid of it. I don't know if that's the actual Jim Varney or someone faking it. Oh, it sounds like the actual Jim Varney, but... Let me see here. Oh, no, it's an impression. It wasn't a video, huh? It's a video.

It's a guy doing an impression of Jim Barney. That's not Jim Barney. That's amazing. So it's something recent. Is that the deal? Yeah, it's a recent thing. So never mind. This is no good.

The Internet sometimes doesn't give me what I want when I want. It's bastards. Lars says it sounds just like Dunaway. A little bit. Brian can carry that on. Our new Jim Barney. Yeah, and we needed one. We did.

We did need a new Jim Barney. Why not? Anyway, thank you for that. both those emails came to us at the morning stream at gmail.com if you'd like us to read your weird stuff on the air that's a great place to send it how'd dinner go at the spags last night

was it fun oh so nice so good to see them their house was man for people who are are leaving soon like within a day it felt like their house had a lot of stuff still left to be packed up but maybe not

you know maybe it was just maybe we just were only seeing like just the the last little remnants of things that need to be packed up but um it was great to like we seriously we haven't seen them since before the pandemic so it's been since 2019 since we've seen mark and Nicole in person and uh both eva and matteo were bigger now eva's talking she wasn't she wasn't talking or at least wasn't talking much uh last time we saw her in 2019 but she's she's just a little chatterbox she uh had something to add to every conversation. She was great, super cute.

They put up a picture of those two together, and I swear it's just tiny Mark, tiny Nicole hanging out. It totally is. I was thinking about that when we were looking at him sitting on the couch playing video games, and it was absolutely tiny Mark, tiny Nicole. Yeah, they've made their own, they've made themselves here. That's what they've done. They really have.

What did you guys eat? You mentioned you were going to get DoorDash or something. We door dashed some Cajun food from a place called the Lodian. lost Cajun here in Colorado, some people that moved here during Katrina, moved from New Orleans to Denver and opened up a restaurant. And I'm all over this. I know there was one down there by the two of them, but in a little bit of a search, we found that there's one up here, sort of by us, 104th Avenue, the north side of town. And heck yeah, I'm going there as soon as I can to get some more Cajun food. I had

some catfish and some fried oysters. Ooh, they're hardcore sounds like, that's great. They're not just like, they're not just like, hey, so there's a little spice in our food. It's like legit food. That's great. It's legit, yeah. And I guess they're in California as well.

Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina. Wow, they started as a little family-owned place in New Orleans and then came out here. Then expanded back down. explode it all over the place. Yeah, so good for them. Yeah, it's very cool. I love good Cajun food, so anytime there's a, sounds like there's not one here, so that sucks.

Not one in Utah yet, but the way these guys are going, I feel like it's any time now, right? You got this place downtown, this bar called the Bayou, which has amazing Cajun food, so I can go there, I guess. Anyway, well, that's good. So they're on their way. Is it today? Are they out of here today? No, they're leaving tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning, okay. Yeah. It's a lot of work, man. I hate moving. It is a lot of work. And, you know, Mark's got, you know, a ton of stuff that has to be the whole studio and all of his tools and his presses and saws and things like that that he needs to go. So it's, you know, I expect an entire train making its way to Missouri with those guys. But they talked about the new place they're moving into, the new shop that he's got.

And it sounds like it's going to be a really, really good situation for them. Yeah, that's good. Nothing wrong with that. I don't know if you've ever tried to... I'll miss them here in Colorado, though. Oh, of course. Yeah, the state will be less without them. It will be, yes.

If you've ever moved a table saw, it's a nightmare. It's one of the heaviest, most awkward things in the planet. Plus, it's got blades built into it, for hell's sakes. Like, it's a nightmare. So, hats off to him. I'm sure he'll figure it out because he's good at these things, but I wouldn't be good at them. No, sir, I would not. No, no.

I think I'd rather move a grand piano than a table's. off. Well, at least you got, you know, 10 other people usually. Yeah, right, exactly. It'll be easier to get your hands around it and stuff. Yeah, at least you can budget. But table saws, they have sharp under bits, so you hold them wrong. You're going to cut your fingers.

Exactly. It's a nightmare. It's a nightmare. It is. Totally is. All right. Red fragling coming. Okay.

Are we talking books? I think we're going to talk books. Yep. We're going to get, we're going to see if we can read into what she's bringing. today. Do you get what I did there? I see exactly what you're. Yeah, I use the word read creatively. Look who it is. It's Amy. She's been going through COVID and I hope is doing better today. How are you doing, Amy? Oh, good morning, friends. Apparently still sounds sick. All right, cool.

Yeah, you do. It's not as much sounding sick as just not your usual bubbliness, right? Like, you know, there's a, there's a, there's a, a level below the usual Amy cheer that we're hearing today. Yeah. Oh, yeah, definitely. This stuff is, like, if I have any recommendation for anybody, don't get COVID. It's not. Not recommended?

It's not recommended, eh, after one star would not do again. Well, you're feeling better, though, I understand, than you were a few days ago. That's good. You're on the mend, and that makes me happy to hear that. Yes. Yes. If I have another piece of advice for anybody, this is a thing that, like, I ignored the crap out of this advice for years. You know, people, you know, you get the flu or whatever. And people would tell you, oh, get a humidifier. And I'd be like, okay, yeah, whatever. No, it works. Like, it helps. Because that was one of the worst parts was my throat felt like absolute sandpaper. And I couldn't even sleep because my throat hurt so bad. And a lot of that is because the air was just dry. So, and especially for you guys. out in the west there where you don't have you don't have the humidity that we have

out here you know like so definitely if you get sick get a humidifier your mom is not full of beans with that one it totally no it works humidifiers are the best yeah love that stuff it always seemed like it was a little bit we always do the the humidifier here yeah it seemed like it was always kind of a weird

idea though because you've got you're trying not to get fluid in your lungs with the with whatever you're ailing from but then you're going to add, you know, fluid to the air, you know, and then breathe that in. It always seemed a little counterintuitive. Like the opposite of what you want. Yeah.

And I'm sure in some cases it is. But in this particular case, yeah, do it, especially in dry climates if you can. Oh, yeah. Well, and anybody who follows me on Twitter, you guys saw the whole, like, I was feeling so bad last weekend. I was ready to try anything. And my mom used to tell me the most ridiculous thing. And it was take VIX and put it on.

your feet. Yeah, put it on your feet. Oh, yeah. And I was like, what, what kind of crazy Southern Mama witchy BS is this? Yeah, it is BS. It doesn't work. Okay. So I will say this. There was one year, 2008, I had the worst flu of my life. The thing wrecked me. And it took like, I don't know, 16 days of fever. It was awful. It's like really bad. It's before this show started. So we never talked about it on here. But really, really bad, you know, COVID-like, like, flu thing and for days my cough was so bad and so racking that i was just i just thought i was just thought i was going to die it was so bad and so kim goes all right i'm trying it i'm going what do you mean you're trying it she goes i'm doing this thing my mom used to do i don't know

if it'll work or not but i'm sick of this i got i got to try something so she goes and she gets this garlic paste that's a big a bucket of garlic and it's like literally like the kind of garlic you'd cook with. Yeah. And so there's not cloves and stuff. It's like a big smeary butter, like your chode butter, Brian. And she came out, she rubbed it all over my feet and then wrapped my feet in plastic. Uh-huh.

In, uh, what do you call it? Saran wrap. Seran wrap. There you go. And, uh, I slept all night. Now, it's entirely possible that it's psychosomatic, but I was in no shape to believe anything. I was so messed up. I was like, she could have said, uh, you're,

dying and this is it. Okay. I'm dying. Goodbye, everybody. Like, that's the, that's the brain space I was in. So I'm not, I have no scientific basis for this. All I know is that day, for the first time in 16 days, or like 12 of 16 days, I slept when she put that on my foot. And the next day, I didn't do it, and I didn't sleep. And I coughed all night. So the next day, they did it again, she did it again, and I slept again. So I just don't have a good explanation for it for it aliens freaking you know magic mana whatever you want

garlic on your feet somehow for me did the trick but I'd always heard that that was the same effort or was it was supposed to be the same result with putting vix on your feet and I guess that just didn't go for you yeah I mean I haven't he's in the chat he's say he's like yeah no it doesn't like vix actually responded to me the company vix responded on Twitter they were like

they were like no Well, like, used as directed, in other words, put it on your neck and chest. Vicks will help you, but it's all because you're breathing it in. So I actually, it's interesting that you tell that story, Scott, because I had a kind of a little working theory that, like, everybody I knew that thought the Vicks on the feet thing worked because it was, like, short people and, like, we could still smell it from our feet. But you're, like, forever tall, so that doesn't work for that. I love that idea. But, yeah, like, I didn't have, I, I am, I'm, I'm, I'm, definitely not quick to say to somebody, oh, to make sure you put garlic on their feet.

But both Kim and I were like a little shocked. And if it was all psychosomatic, I didn't care because those two days were so much better than the rest of my illness. But it was only when you put that stuff in my feet. And it reeked. We had to like throw the upper bed thing away because it was so nasty. Like we smelled like some homeless guy that had just been eaten out of a dumpster. It was horrible.

But for whatever reason, knocked me right out. and I went to sleep. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, there comes a time when you're so sick. You're like, bring on the placebo. I don't care. I don't care. I'll take whatever it is.

I was just so out of my mind. I don't know how I was receptible to a placebo effect. Like, I was so fevered, like 105 at one point. It was really high. 106, I think. It was really high. And I was like delirious. Nobody looked familiar.

Even Kim looked. I didn't know who she was. Like, it was that bad. So it seems to me, I wasn't in any brain shape to act. actually expect a placebo effect. You know what I mean? It's hard to explain. I don't know.

Yeah. Anyway, well, I'm glad you're feeling better, though, and that I hope it continues and that you feel way better sooner. I do, too. I seem to be on the upward swing, so I'm grateful for that. All right. Well, good. All right.

Well, so on to today's book. Today's book is kind of interesting, and I'll, I'm going to read you guys a passage because I didn't, I didn't like the sample that Audible had, so I'm just going to read it my side. Not because I didn't like the narrator. I just didn't like the particular passage that they chose. Chosed. Chosed. Yeah, I said that.

COVID brain is real. So, yeah, I did not like the particular passage that they selected. So, and I had a particular one in mind anyway. So I'm going to read it to y'all. And so forgive my COVID voice. No, I love this. I like it. You sound like an old smoker lady.

I like it. Let's do it. Oh, that's funny, because that comes up in the passage. Oh, good. All right. In Sunday school, we developed a form of entertainment based on abusing Owen Meaney, who was so small that not only did his feet not touch the floor when he sat in his chair. His knees did not extend the edge of his seat. Therefore, his legs stuck out straight, like the legs of a doll.

It was as if Owen Meaney had been born without realistic joints. Owen was so tiny We loved to pick him up In truth we couldn't resist Picking him up We thought it was a miracle How little he weighed I'm skipping over a little bit

Sorry bear with me for a second I practiced this I swear to God Okay His vocal cords had not developed fully Or else his voice had been injured By the rock dust of his family's business Maybe he had larynx damage Or a destroyed trachea

Maybe he'd been hit in the throat wrote by a chunk of granite. To be heard at all, Owen had to shout through his nose. Yet he was dear to us. A little doll, the girls called him while he squirmed to get away from them and from all of us. I don't remember how our game of lifting Owen began. This was Christchurch, the Episcopal Church of Gravesend, New Hampshire. Our Sunday school teacher was a strained, unhappy-looking woman named Mrs. Walker. We thought this name suited her because her method of teaching involved a lot of walking out of class. Mrs. Walker would read an instructive passage from the Bible. She would then ask us to think seriously about what we had heard.

Silently and seriously. That's how I want you to think. She would say, I'm going to leave you alone now with your thoughts. She would tell us ominously, as if our thoughts were capable of driving us over the edge. I want you to think very hard. hard, Mrs. Walker would say, then she'd walk out on us. I think she was a smoker, and she couldn't allow herself to smoke in front of us. When I come back, we'll talk about it. By the time she did come back, of course, we'd forgotten everything about whatever it was, because as soon as she left the room, we would fool around with a frenzy, because being alone with our thoughts was no fun, so we would pick up Owen and pass him back and forth overhead. We managed this while remaining

seated in our chairs. That was the challenge of the game. Someone, I forget who started it, would get up, seize Owen, sit back down with him, pass him to the next person who would pass him on and so forth. The girls were included in this game. Some of the girls were the most enthusiastic about it. Everyone could lift up Owen. In Sunday school, when we held Owen up in the air, especially in the air, he protested so uniquely. We tortured him, I think, in order to hear his voice. I used to think his voice came from another planet. Now I'm convinced it was a voice not entirely of this world. Put me down! He would say in a strangled, emphatic falsetto. I don't want to do this anymore. Enough is enough. Put me down, you assholes.

So, and then it goes on. So, I was going to read you a little bit more, but yeah, it's a little too long. What's the name of the, what's the name of the, name of the book? The name of the book is a prayer for Owen Meaney by John Irving. And so the interesting thing about this book is that, you know, you may notice, like he's talking a lot about Sunday school and church and things like that. And then I am Jewish and also just not particularly religious in general. So this might be surprising for some people that I picked it. This book falls under the category of a book that was impactful to me because of when it entered my life. So I remember learning about this book when I was 12 years old and I was in eighth grade and my teacher, Mr. Durkin, read that part of it aloud to us in school, including the assholes part. So, of course, all of us were sitting there, we're 12 and 13 years old and we're like, our teacher just said asshole, you know.

And so, but it was, it was a really strange and interesting thing. And he would, he would read as passages from it every once in a while. And then it later actually entered my life when I was, it was between my freshman and sophomore year in college and I was doing a summer abroad in France. And, you know, this was before we had smartphones or little personal entertainment things to keep you busy while you're on an eight hour flight. You had to have a book. Right? And so I was like, oh, yeah, what about that book that Mr. Durkin used to read to us? I'll take that with me.

So this book was basically my companion that whole summer while I was in France. And it is a fascinating book. It's by John Irving, who if that name sounds familiar. Yeah, why is that name familiar? I know that somewhere else. He wrote The World According to Garp and the Cider House Rules. and, you know, many other novels. And his writing style is very much that.

I think a prayer for Owen Meena is probably the least graphically disturbing of some of the books of his that I've read. But it's really fascinating. So the main character, the narrator is a sky named John and his relationship with this character, Owen. And Owen is convinced that he is an instrument of God. and that he knows the date that he is going to die and he is going to die heroically

and, you know, save some children. And so that's sort of the premise of it is what Owen believes about himself and about the world. And it's really interesting. And it goes into a lot of like, it talks about the difference between faith and organized religion. And it talks about it takes place in the 60s.

you know during vietnam it talks a lot about the vietnam war um things like that so it's it's it's not a light read but but it is a good and impactful one and so i wanted to i wanted to kind of share it with you guys and because like i said it this book entered my life because i was a goofy 12 year old who giggled at my eighth grade teacher saying asshole you know yeah we got we would take it from wherever we could get it back then you know right right wherever the swears came from we were happy to, we were happy to support it. The interesting thing is that there was,

there was a movie that was meant to be an adaptation of this book, but it was so not true to the book that John Irving actually refused to let them use the name Owen Meaney.

What was the, what was the book? In the movie. The movie was called Simon Birch. Oh, I remember that movie. Yeah. Yeah. Interestingly enough, so there are some,

there are some, scenes in the movie that are lifted directly out of this book. But John Irving felt like it was a disservice to people who would see this movie and then read the book and it's like, this is these, these two books, these two stories are nothing alike. So the interesting thing is the reason they, they called it Simon Birch is because the people who were adapting the screenplay figured out that if they had done a good enough job adapting it, that John Irving would let them have Owen Meany, that the lip movements were similar enough that they could have looped Owen Meaney over Simon Birch. Like the actors making those mouth movements, they would

be able to ADR it in and it would be similar enough that nobody would notice. So that's why they chose the name Simon Birch. I just thought that was a fun little piece of trivia. Yeah, no kidding. great cast in that movie but I don't remember I don't think I saw it Oliver Plaid Ashley Judd David Statharan

Jan Hooks wow You know what I forgot Oh Jim Carries in that Weird Yeah it's it does It has it has quite a cast But and there's a there's a scene Where Owen

Literally plays the baby Jesus In a nativity play Which is funny right Because they usually just bring a doll Right But nope Owen was so small He was like nope

I'm going to be the baby Jesus, you know, so it was, I don't know, it's, it's strange. It's funny and strange. And it just, yeah, it makes you laugh. Is it worth seeing the movie at all? Like, would you say skip the movie entirely and just read this book, or is that movie worth seeing? Yeah, I mean, it's, it's different. It's, it's a completely different thing. And like I say, there are some scenes that are, oh, yeah, they got that scene from a

per row and meaning, but the story is not at all the same. the ending is not the same you know it's it's very not the same it's kind of they kind of disneyified it if that makes any sense you know they were like afraid of the they were afraid of the darker things that have i mean it's a john irving novel so dark stuff happens if you've you know if you've ever read garp or you know it's like it's not for uh it's it's not for kids not for kids no for sure yeah okay well interesting yeah i I would definitely recommend read the book. Okay.

That's funny you've got this one. As opposed to the audio, too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I don't think the audio book, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Like I said, I just didn't like the passage. Oh, right. You didn't like the one they used for the website.

Yeah. Yeah. I didn't, I don't have anything against the narrator or anything at that. I just, I was like, I had a very specific part of the book in mind that I wanted to share with you guys. So, I was like, I was like, uh, he's, uh, 80 this year, John Irving, yeah. Oh, wow. Looks great. Man, that guy looks like a cool old dude. So writing keeps young. I guess so. He does a lot of, he does a lot of writing from personal experience to write. Like, the main character in this book, he never knew his father. And similarly, John Irving never knew his father. And he actually, he kept trying to get his mother to tell him about who his biological father was. And he was. And he, he kept trying to get his mother to tell him about who his biological father was. And he,

He said, you know, he's an author and whatnot. So he's like, I'm just going to start making stuff up and write it into my books if you don't tell me. And his mother said, you go ahead, dear. And so she's like, all right. I don't have to tell you anything. You just do what you got to do. I never saw the world according to Garp. Is that worth seeing too these days?

It is good. It messed me up as a kid. But I saw it, geez, I saw it a few years later. I haven't seen it probably in about 15, 20 years. but um i remember it being really really good yeah i should yeah it had robin williams in it right yeah yeah very early gal and glen close early robin williams stuff i think like maybe even prior to and not and not manic robin williams obviously because he's playing a character that's not yeah exactly i missed that um i didn't know jan hook's died did you guys know jan hook's died sorry this is totally a side note

She died in 2014 at the age of 57. She, I guess, had a bunch of liver damage from drinking and stuff. Anyway, just, I didn't know this. I thought Jan Hooks was still kicking it, doing stuff. I think it's forgotten about it if I'd heard about it. She was in 30 Rock and a bunch of stuff toward the end there. Yeah, lots of SNI. I mean, she was a few seasons of SNL with the, uh, the, uh, the thing, the, uh, clang, clang,

goes the trolley it feels like one of her bigger recurring characters yeah she was in that awesome group with farley and yeah the swini sisters that's right she was great she was in a bunch of futurama and simpsons she played a pooh's wife on the simpsons oh wow really i didn't know that okay been around for a long time well anyway i had no idea she passed away uh well all right uh there you go we've we've learned about a new book and we found out about people we like who We learned about Jan Hux. Yeah, we weren't about Jan Hux. Well, in the chat room is talking about the really disturbing scene and the world according good garps.

So, you know. Yeah, the wean, the wean scene. The weir. Yep. Oh, I didn't know there was a, is there a wiener? All right, I'm in. Let's get us to do it. Let's get this going on screen.

There's not an on screen wiener, but there's a thing that happens to a weiner. Okay. So a wiener experience is something I'm going to cringe at. I'm not going to be happy about. Okay. All right. Well, I look forward to it. always fun hanging out with you

Amy anything else you want to tell people about where you're at and what you're doing or anything else no man just I'm just still trying to get well again so everybody stays safe because honestly like I I didn't I got this from my son went on a week long thing up to Yale and then came home and so my joke is like

yeah my kid went do a thing at Yale and all I got was this lousy COVID it's pretty good I didn't do for shot number four, so maybe I'll, because I was waiting until after the ride to do it. So maybe I would just better do it. I think you should because, yeah, so this is like my real contribution to you today, Brian, is like his Chuck is over 50. Therefore, he has had the fourth shot, like the second booster. I am under 50. Therefore, you know, CDC says I'm up to date with my two vaccines and my one booster.

I got way sicker than he did. So go ahead. Yeah, I'm just worried because the booster, you know, the second shot in the initial series and the booster both knocked me on my butt for a day. So it's like, all right, I just have to figure out what day, Scott, you know, might just have to plan a co-host for it. Or no, listen to what we should do. We should both do it the same day because I haven't done the booster either. Yeah, and then we'll take the next day off. Now, neither of none of the shots affected me in any way.

So I'll probably just have a real good day and you'll be sick. Yeah, probably. It'll probably be the case. Yeah. And I still don't know how to feel about that because that either means, in my head, that means either I'm strong enough to withstand it or it has no effect on me because it's not working. And when I do get COVID, it'll floor me.

That's probably the truth. That's probably what happened. For one of those to be the case, I think neither of those are the case. Who knows? Different systems have a different reaction to it. Bobby in the chat points out, knock you on your butt now so you won't be knocked on your butt later. I would also purport that, I mean, you know, it's far less time because I, I keep now with it. Versus a week. I mean, I've been sick for, you know, I was on the show

last week and I was okay. But by Friday, who I was sick. Oh, wow. Yeah. It's been almost a week now. Amazing what a day will do. That's like I keep hearing about the current, the trending variances that you are way, before you start showing any symptoms, you're way contagious during that period. Yeah. And that's a little odd, right? It is, right, because you have no idea you're having, you have it and you're just spread it around. Yeah, that's not good.

I don't like that at all. But anyway, I'm glad Chuck's good. I'm glad you're on the mend. And may we all meet here again at the burning fires of TMS. Let's read things with Amy next week. Bye now. See you. Oh, she breathed in and then I cut her off.

that's all right it's you know it's uh your mo scott what i do that's what i do what you do all right we're going to take a break when we come back it's the morning news but we need a song so can you give us a break here with a song please yeah how about some uh let's go back to you know one of my favorite genres some good old jangly pop this is a band called the happy fits uh f i t s not some guy named our my name is fits and i'm happy no this is their third lp it's called Under the shade of green.

I love the smell of polyurethane in the morning. This is the morning street. All right, we're back, everybody. Yeah, I got a question after you tell me that song and artist again. Who was that? Sure. That's a band called The Happy Fits from their upcoming album under the shade of green comes out late August. That's the song called Do Your Worst.

Nice. All right. My question is for Christine Fletcher, if you're listening, is this the right clip? Congratulations. You're a winner. Is that the one? I bet that is. yeah okay because it's because i have that and then i have the one i played yesterday which now i can't

find that's wonderful anyway oh wait is that it no that's not it okay so i just i need some confirmation is that the one i'll play it one more time congratulations you're a winner all right christine you know my number it's got to be yeah by the way she finally did reach out to me she's like oh yeah you know you do all these uh great impressions yet the only thing you can do for any female impression is the so-called Tina voice? Yeah, yeah. This one really rubs her cheese. She doesn't like it. It doesn't like

it at all. I love it too. Happy birthday to Sophie, by the way. Their daughter had a birthday yesterday. It's very nice. All right, let's do this first story here. Okay. This one right here says a woman was rescued from a hostage situation after sending a note begging for help

to a restaurant through Grubhub. Oh, gosh. Yep. The gig economy saves yet another life. The woman was rescued from a hostage sitch in Bronx, New York, after she sent a note to this local restaurant. It was via Grubhub, asking for them to call the police. The Chipper Truck Cafe and Yonkers wrote on its Facebook page that helped save a woman from a five-hour hostage situation on Wednesday morning at about 5 a.m. She ordered a delivery through Grubhub to our restaurant, added this note. The restaurant wrote on the Facebook alongside the photo of the note, she wrote, quote,

please call the police. He is going to call me when you delivered, come with cones, please, don't make it obvious. So there's some misspellings because she's freaked out. Listen, if you're going to, just a helpful tip, if you're going to hit up the restaurant for getting out of this hostage situation, please use auto correct. Yeah, use your auto correct. To make it clear what you're looking for. Do you want cones or do you want cops? Yeah. I mean, are you even going to tip? Do you even tip, lady? No, obviously she's under serious duress and she's typing whatever she can.

Yes, of course, of course. When she says he's going to call me, she meant kill me, apparently real rough deal. Oh, gosh, okay. Yeah. And they came. Yeah, that's a very different thing. Call me. Oh, yeah. He's going to call me. Yeah, he's going to call me. Anyway, I think, I think this is good because, you know, she got saved and once again, you know, ordering food and paying too much for it is, paid off. Good job, everybody. Wow. She ordered an Irish breakfast sandwich and a cheeseburger as part of that order. What's in an Irish breakfast sandwich? That sounds really good. Like, I don't know. Like everything? Because basically an Irish breakfast is everything. It's all things, right? It is. It's like eggs and blood pudding and toast and sausage and chat says whiskey. Yep.

Whiskey and beans and tomatoes and mushrooms and yeah. Ooh, an Irish breakfast sounds good right now. I'm looking, I've got to look at what an Irish, you know. I like how this harrowing situation, this woman was so glad to get out of, has led to, what's in an Irish breakfast sandwich? Yeah, shows where our heads are at. I like it. Yep.

I like where we go. While you're looking that up, let's read this story about some friends. Oh, I found it. Oh, you did? Tell me more. What have we got? I found instructions on how to make it. So, two slices of Rosen's rye bread, two egg scrambled, two slices of Irish cheddar cheese, two Irish banger sausages sliced, and two to four slices of bacon.

And you basically look at this photo. I'm going to put in our chat, Scott. Oh, my God. Okay. I want that now. I'm looking. Oh, look at that. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, I've got to put it up for them. Look at this rye bread ass looking freaking. Well, you have to have the cheese, Claire, to hold everything together. I might be with you on the rye, though. I don't care about rye. I'm not a big rye fan.

Oh, I love rye. You don't like rye? I would do that on a chabada roll or a Kaiser roll. Yeah, almost anything would work. I do like a good rye bread occasionally. I guess it depends on the sandwich, though. Ruben is the only thing I'll say, all right, give it to me on rye, baby. Oh, yeah, you can't do it on anything but rye.

I mean, you could, but it wouldn't be as good. You could, but then it's not a Rubin. Yeah, then what is it? It's a robin. It's a goobin. Yeah. It's a Rehruheuben. Well, anyway, congrats to her.

Check this out. People drawn to others who smell like they do. Oh, okay. This is like a... Some science dropped, Brian. Sure, okay. Yeah, check this out. The expression could be true in the literal sense,

according to a new study published by the journal Science advances on Friday, which finds people with similar body odors are more like. likely to hit it off as friends. Non-human terrestrial... Herds of an odor flock to goater. To goater. Everyone goater to the goater. Non-human terrestrial mammals consistently sniff themselves and each other, based on this,

decide who is friend or foe. Wrote a group of researchers led by Inbal Ravell B at the Wiseman Institute of Science in Israel. I'm sure I'm saying that name completely wrong. 100% correctly, yes. Inbal Ravreverbe. I think that's absolutely it. But since people seek friends who are similar to themselves, the team hypothesized that humans may smell themselves and others to subconsciously. So this is not happening as like a choice.

You're not like, you know, oh, you smell like me. We're together. You subconsciously estimate body odor similarity and judge them for compatibility. And they're really just talking about friendships here. They're talking about some like stinky love deal. To find out they said about collecting. samples from pairs of same-sex non-romantic friends who described themselves as having clicked at first sight. That is to say, where a sense of friendship was formed before extensive biological

or biographical information was exchanged, according to the paper. I love how they have to get specific about that. That's what I love about this kind of stuff. After an extensive recruitment effort, they found 20 pairs, half of whom were male, the other half were female, all between ages 22 and 39 years old. In order to prevent contamination or outside factors influencing their samples. All participants had to follow a strict protocol that included avoiding pungent foods and sleeping away from their partner and pets in a clean cotton t-shirt that was provided to them. No rubbing garlic on your feet either. No, hell no. No one wants to smell like that. The t-shirts were then collected, so this is from the t-shirts. Collected in Ziploc bags, tested with an electric nose.

It's my favorite alternative band of the early 90s. My favorite song by MGMT was Electric Nose. Better reference. That was good. A device equipped with sensors to analyze chemical composition, the researchers found that the odor signatures of click friends were statistically more closely matched than odors between non-friends. That's interesting.

That is wild. Pretty weird, man. Yeah, they need to go to like a blizzcon or Comic-Con or something. something like that and really test that theory. Like, see if all the people who smell alike are all right there in Hall H. They're all the best friends possible in Hall H. I don't

know. I have a lot of friends that are kind of internet only friends. Some that I've never met and so I don't even have the meeting to confirm anything. I wonder if like, well, let's just say my friendship with Brian Dunaway since I've seen him less than anybody I work with regularly.

I see you and Tom and others and a more frequent way. So in Dunaway's case, he and I really click and get along really well, have been friends, friends for years. But is it possible that if he and I got into a room and had a little of our t-shirt time, if you know what I'm saying? Would we, would we be less friends? You know what I mean? Right, right, right. No, I think it's kind of like it works the opposite way. Like, we all, you know, we all met electronically, right? You know, like, I think it's less, you're not going to be friends with people who don't smell like you as opposed to you're going to be drawn to become friends in a real world situation with people who smell like you got it that makes

sense yeah so so you know i'm going to um whatever denver comic con is called now fan expo well that's what ours is called too it's dumb it is dumb because those damn comic con san diego comic con people sued everybody out of using the comic con name no it sucked so we changed ours to fan x and i hate it i hate it too it's like come on it It's a comic convention. Yeah. Con is short for convention. You can't, you can't claim that as your own.

Those those San Francisco guys are litigious bastards. They really are. So anyway, we're popping over there for a little bit on Sunday just to see what's what. But, you know, I'm wondering if I'll be drawn to people that smell like recent Cajun food and gin and tonic or something. I'll have to look and see. Yeah, what if they? People who had a latte that morning and what is the smell of, I guess Hawaiian shirts don't have any different smell and anything else, but maybe you'll find a bunch of it. Yeah, what's the smell?

It smells like pineapple and, uh, and, and relaxation. Sand. Yeah, and sand. Yeah, and sand. Hey, you know what, you know, we didn't do at the top of this, uh, set or the top of this segment, Scott is, uh, introduced the news so I could tell you that the news today. Oh, how did I not do that? Because I think we were doing the Christine Fletcher thing, and we skipped over there. Oh, you think you're right.

Okay, sorry. Yes, please do this. Who's the news brought to by today, by the way? It's brought to you by Coverville today at 1 p.m. Mountain Time, Twitch.tv. slash Coverville, 50, I don't want to put 500, 50 years since the release of the rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders for Mars.

Trudeau and Macron. Those guys are good-looking dudes. Probably all right with a shirt off. I'm not saying that Boris Burthole, what's Boris Johnson.

I'm not in any hurry to see Angela Merkel. No, I don't need to see... Well, she's not there anymore, but yes. You know, that would be... But I don't, you know, like, yeah, sure. I've seen... Look, I saw... Who's the famous British military mind?

Winston Churchill? Winston Churchill. I saw a picture of him swim in the other day. He wasn't swimming the other day. I saw a photo that was taken 50 years ago of him swimming or longer, 75 years ago. TMZ, we're here watching Winston Churchill go swimming. No, he's out there in like his little banana hammock-looking swimsuit, and he didn't look good. So I admit there are some, but they're, you know, I don't even think Biden probably looks that bad.

He's old, but he's not like all flubbery and flopping all over the place. probably looks fine probably oh my gosh cap kipper is this uh is this like this is this is real this justin trudeau this what is it check this link out uh that cap and kipper just put in the chat it is justin trudeau on a scale shirtless are you sure that's not a photoshoppy i know it looks like uh does look photoshoppy doesn't it there's something photoshoppy going on i can't tell oh mean it could be i mean look he's a handsome feller he is Take that Putin. Yeah, take that Putin.

I feel like maybe Putin, who we've only ever seen riding a bear or whatever the hell he does with his shirt off. I guess it's not a bear as a horse. Somebody photoshopped him on a bear. I don't want to be a misinformation here. That one I think is photoshopped. Yeah. Anyway, there's like a horse sleeves on the back of a horse topless. That one's a real photo.

Yeah, that one's real. And ugly, too. I don't know what he's talking about. He seems, I think he's not looking in the mirror. Anyway, he's made this comment. a visit to the Turkmenistan, this was early Tuesday, or Thursday, when he asked about Western leaders joking about him at the G7 summit. As he sat down for talks, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Jester, the G7 leaders should take their clothes off to show that we're tougher than Putin. So he's the one that started this.

Canadian premier Justin Trudeau joked that the Western leaders could try to match Putin's naked torso pictures with a bare-chested horseback riding display. One of his widely publicized athletic adventures. Speaking to reporters, Putin then reported, unlike him, Western leaders abuse alcohol and don't do sports. Okay. Okay. But Putin's, come on, you're telling me that Putin looks like that and he doesn't drink vodka on a regular? Yeah, give me a break. He's just as lumpy as the rest of him.

Give me a break. He noted that to look good, it is necessary to stop abusing alcohol and other bad habits to do physical exercise and take part in sports. yeah okay yeah if you want to i i mean sure but you're throwing shade when you're in you're under the tree directly you know exactly yes you got all the shade plus you attacked another country unlawfully yeah that's kind of a bad habit you know maybe maybe the occasional gin and tonic vlad yeah is okay compared to i don't know the bad habit about invading another country yeah about just walking into ukraine is if you own it how about that yeah a whole and i know we Americans sometimes

ride that edge of, hey, we invaded your country because we thought we knew a thing, but we didn't. We know. We know. It's never us, though. It was never you and me, Scott.

It was never me and Brian. Just like it was never, you know, Yuri Petushkakov or some guy on the street in Russia. We know that. You know, Petushikov. Petushikov, yes.

I'm Yuri Petushikov. Why are you picking on me, Johnson? you give me her time? Why you pick on me? Here is a final story for you. An Eastborn actor found a tooth in a Greg's sausage roll. This is very UK. Boy, but not in an Irish breakfast sandwich, hopefully. No, no, no, no, no. All right, good.

No Irish teeth. We're lost in the making of this story. Liz Morgan, who lives on the seafront, said she discovered a tooth inside of her sausage roll while at the branch in the beacon. These are all things, probably British people are like, oh, yeah, sure. and I have no idea. The former voice actor said, quote, I was chewing something hard and I took it out of my mouth

and I saw it was a tooth. I couldn't believe it. Gosh. Not hers, though. Someone else's. Like a human? Did we know if it was a human tooth? It doesn't say whether it was human,

although the photo looks very human to me. Oh gosh. Okay. All right. So chewing something hard, I took it in my mouth, saw it was a tooth, could not believe it.

She used the voice on Captain Scarlet and the Mysterions back in the 60s. Did she say if the sandwich was very filling? She didn't say. She did say, I get where you went there with the filling, though. I get that. Thank you. That's pretty good. I like, I underlined it and italicized it, so I'm hoping it came through. Although it did look like it might have a filling.

I'll find a look at that photo. Really? Yeah. I'm trying to load the photo I can. It's like redirecting me to Sussus Express. Let me try it. Which is really just SussSexexex Express. Sussex Express. Exactly. Oh, here it is. Oh, that sex express is very suss.

Yeah, look at that. That looks like an incisor from a human. I think that is what that is. I'm going to re-click that link and see if I can do better. Yeah, if you scroll down a bit, you'll get... I mean, it's still loading the link. It's like, it's... Oh, weird.

Can you copy and paste that photo into our chat? Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. It shouldn't be hard. It's just a JPEG? Let's see. Yeah, there it is. All right, here you go, Brian. Tell me that's not a human tooth when I put this in here.

Hold on. Shit. There it is. Look at that. that's a human tooth dude don't you think still loading what the heck you can hear me fine

I can hear you fine internet is working yeah you're not and your video's fine I can see you's like my my world is blocking this photo Scott it's like uh frick Whistle Lowe 34 says I can't handle the tooth I think my system has decided that I can't handle the tooth

I guess not are you not getting um so wait in Discord I have two blue dots spinning around indefinitely on that photo. Sounds like a, don't know, there's some DNS outage or something.

That's weird. Yet I can, if I like, hover over that link, I can see the photo of the woman. Yeah. But when you go there and go to that link, it doesn't.

Well, and that doesn't explain why this file, which came from me to you directly via Discord isn't showing up. That's really weird. Right. Unless there's something in the name, this is a wood old lip brain,

see that JPEG. Yep. Well, we've uncovered a grand conspiracy, everyone. It must be the various actors doing business. Anyway, don't eat teeth is the point. That's the thing to learn here. All right, that's it for news. And we got a sandwich little have you saying, oh, no molar, no molar.

No molar for me. No. I'm full, no molar. Wait, there's more here. There's more here. There's more here. Hold on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's got to be. We can't leave on that one. That was garbage. I'm on a very restrictive diet I'm trying to put dental and diet it doesn't work no I got nothing

that's it's the best I can do hey quick PSA we got some shows today in the weekend I'd like people to know about uh core do you not hear me oh maybe he is slowly he's slowly losing his internet and dying you don't hear me at all no here here oh no

oh no I mean Discord's still working I think Oh, maybe not. Oh, it is for me. That's really weird. You must have had just some glitch, some weird internet glitch. And some weird glitch that just happened right when I tried to open that link. Never again, suss, sex express.

You put suss in your name. Hmm. I also had a really, really good pun with incisor, and I've completely forgotten it. Oh, man. All right. Well, come back another day, everybody. We've got to do some show discussion here real quick. Tonight, Core at 5 p.m.

Check it out. We've got a lot of video game talk to make. and you're going to be there to hear it. We may even talk about the possibility of this thing I'm about to put up for the chat of being a real thing. I might actually make a quarterly magazine. I don't know. Oh, that thing that, yeah, that cover you put up?

Isn't that look amazing? My gosh. Would it be a physical printed magazine? Would you do a digital magazine? I mean, we could do, we'd do both. But I think there's enough, I think the nostalgia factor of, hey, this would come in the mail every quarter would be too good to pass. I don't know.

I feel like, I've always wanted to do that anyway. I've always wanted to make my own magazine. Of course, yeah. Even though I know it's not like... Please tell me you to have cheat codes for a film sack in there, right? Like if you... Yeah, maybe. If you do this key combination,

uh, Randy's, Randy's voice goes up an octave. Yeah. We have to just kick him in the nuts when the, when the mic's muted. Uh, anyway, we'll see.

But we're going to talk about all that and more tonight on CORE. That's 5 p.m. Mountain time. There'll be a film sack on Saturday. We're watching... The born and convenience. Oh, yeah, that's right. The born in convenience. I don't really.

I actually really don't remember which born it is. It's born identity. It's original. Okay. The born identity. First one. That's the one where he says, where is it here? Oh, Jesus.

It's Jason Bourne, he says. Anyway, that's this weekend. And then, of course, skim will happen today sometime. Kim will be putting that up. So watch for a brand new, brand new skim episode.

So Barry's is just a really sweet guy who talked to you about anything and just the nicest guy. But it was really fun to be out there on the pool and hearing him be just Barry. Yes. And then he would go, oh, hold on, I have to take this and take his phone over in a corner. And he became business Barry, like ultra-Berry business Barry. And it was a trip to hear him being all businessy. I don't know. He's in like the biotech industry.

It's like this big, he's a big deal. Yeah. But it went from like our Barry to big. deal, Barry. It totally was a different, yeah, it was like a, like he, like he put on a different voice. Yeah, it was really weird, but it's great. I'm going to try, I haven't even mentioned to him that I'm doing the, the Vegas thing in the middle of this month, but I wonder if it'll work out. Oh, yeah, he's, he seems pretty fluid on that stuff. Maybe he'll get out. He does. You know, he's always up for fun time in Vegas. Sure. All right, well, anyway, any
