Bringing up your breakfast with Bobby and more on this episode of The Morning Stream.
Well, the problem that I have with Power Rangers is that Power Rangers get their power from dinosaurs, the spirit of dinosaurs.
Nice wiener!
Man who can catch for?
Why would Chopstick accomplish anything?
This is the morning stream.
Good morning, everyone.
Welcome to TMS.
It's the morning stream for Tuesday, July 12th, 2020.
I thought it was the 13th today for some reason.
I don't know why.
It's 1-2-2-2-2-2.
Welcome to the show, everybody.
I'm Scott Jopson.
That's Brian Nibbitt.
Hi, Brian Nibbitt. Good morning.
Hello, Scott J-Jelter.
Hey, Tuesday, you know,
It's what we do. We got the Tuesday here.
Yeah. You know, Tuesday. It's not Wednesday, but it's also not Monday.
Nope. So that's good. Nope. It's not even, uh, so at the Wednesday, we did this once before.
If Wednesday's hump day, what is Tuesday? It's a, uh, uh, loob up day.
Lube day. Okay. Sweet.
Apply generous amounts, copious amounts of lube. That's right. Or if needed chode butter in a pitch.
That's right. Anyway.
Oh, I still haven't gotten back on the bike since, uh, I'm sorry.
so horrible. I haven't gotten back on the bike since
the big ride. That's not horrible. It's been what
a week, week and a half, two weeks I guess.
Yeah, yeah. That's not
that bad, you know? Two and a half weeks
almost. If you go, if you go two months
and you didn't get on, then I'd, you know, then you
can feel bad about it. Then I can feel bad.
No, I need to. I need, because otherwise it's like,
well, I feel like I've just got to start back over with
like small hilly rides and then
extend back. It's like, all right, let's get out there.
Yeah, I believe, I believe
in you. I think you can do it. Oh, thank you.
You're welcome. Now that you've got my
my approval. It's all downhill from there.
All right. I got a thing I want to talk to people about that I'm kind of excited about,
even though there are some people concerned about schedules, which we'll get to in a second.
But we're going to announce a brand new thing happening on Fridays.
So just a little bit of history.
When we started TMSPM, it was always a thing of like, well, let's do a little something extra.
And it didn't always have to be that.
But that was kind of the staple.
and then we would insert playdate occasionally.
It would insert other things occasionally.
And it was always a little bit fluid.
It was always meant to be a little bit fluid when it converted to a Patreon-only sort of thing.
I remember how mad everybody was when we took it off the main feed, though.
That was pretty funny.
But hey, whatever.
It's for patrons.
It's for patrons, everybody.
We just didn't know what we were doing in the beginning, okay?
Give us a break.
So anyway, we're going to launch something called the TMS Couch Party this Friday.
and what it is is well first of all it's a nice change up to the usual you know the way p.m works
right now is you're kind of getting a watered down normal episode which is fine we do you know we
have a good time we have Dan on there more on him in a minute uh all that kind of stuff but you know
it's not it's not proper TMS it's just oh it's at night or whatever but we also you know
the questions we love the quick questions we'll still take those and put those on the show
on the show proper but starting this Friday and I'm already supposed to
the patrons so people are aware of it who are already patrons this is for everybody else out there
is maybe on the fence or maybe this sounds fun to you i don't i don't know but here's what we're
going to do uh patrons at any level so it doesn't matter which level you're on are invited uh you
are invited to a weekly 100 percent private viewing with us on discord now before you freak out
and go private private viewing what is this mean you know like what kind of sexual deviance are we
up to that's not what we mean at all what we mean is
Nobody else can get to it, but you.
If you're a patron, you're in.
If you're not, you're not.
It's just like locked out.
There's no cheating.
There's no sharing links.
It doesn't work that way.
You just are in if you're in or you're not if you're not.
And in this place, we will spend an hour to an hour and a half, sometimes a little longer,
uh, watching full episodes of television that we, that we choose from the cheesy to the good to the whatever.
We'll take votes.
We'll let you guys have a voice as to what we're watching and when.
Um, movies.
uh if you think to yourself like you know the stuff we would
stuff that may not fit on film sad right stuff that might actually be good like you know
i want to i really want to watch edge of tomorrow this week because i don't know i'm in the
mood yeah we all know we all know the one reason you want to watch edge of tomorrow and uh and of
course she's in it yeah she's in it and uh yeah and then also that lady who's married to john krasenski
she's in it also just kidding there's too many ladies anyway uh we so that's currently on the plan
although that could change who knows but the point is uh all these sorts of things dan is still the plan
is to have dan still join us once a month right now he's with us less than once a month so we would
actually increase his his um his appearances on the show but he would be on a proper like tms
monday through thursday sometime uh at least once a month so we're going to make that happen uh we would
move this up to 1 p.m.
instead of two, just to kind of, you know, make it a little less crazy out of Friday,
give us a little more time on the back end of that thing so that we can see something that might
be a little bit longer. And while you're in there, people can, we're going to make it so
that you're going to hear us, you know, we'll be able to talk anytime we want. But if anybody
else wants to like raise their hand and go, oh, I got a thing to say, it's going to be really easy
for it to pull people in and out of audio whenever they want. We can't have like hundreds in
there talking at once. Otherwise, we won't hear the thing we're all watching. Yeah, but that
We'll hear our funny comments.
Yes.
And you might hear one of you here and there say a thing or two.
And we'll still put all this audio on the audio feed for those who can't be there, which brings up a point.
A bunch of people on the comments on the Patreon are concerned about schedule because, you know, a lot of them are like, well, I'm still at work and I can't do an hour and a half thing.
And they were maybe people that were already just getting the show via audio anyway.
And it hadn't really occurred to me when I was setting all this up and talking to you and everything.
It wasn't flashing with me that, oh, yeah, right.
This is kind of middle of the day for the rest of the working world.
Yeah.
And even, I think even on the extreme, on the eastern coast, it's what, three?
Three o'clock on the east coast, yeah.
Yeah, so it's only three o'clock.
So, you know, Brian and I'll have some discussion and we'll take that feedback seriously.
you know to make a decision about whether this is the best time or not i don't know right i'd like to
maximize people's ability to be there obviously and that's the whole point of this and so we'll
we'll we'll talk currently we're gonna we're gonna fire that one off this friday at one as planned
yep yep but we'll talk and see if there's any you know wiggle we can do on that i don't know
what that is people say yeah people work no i know i get it i just you know what i'm saying because
Brian and I have weird jobs, okay?
And we forget sometimes that not everybody can just go, hey, it's one o'clock, let's do the thing.
I get it.
I totally get it, all right?
Yep.
I just want to make sure as many of you can be there as possible.
And, you know, I was thinking about, well, but there's guess the connection.
You know, that is a very fluid thing that I can move kind of anywhere during the week.
It's a 30-minute show.
Sure.
So I could really put that anywhere I want.
So, yeah, maybe we, you know, we'll talk.
Scott and I'll talk.
The parents will talk offline.
Yeah.
And we'll...
Don't make us turn this car around.
All right.
And then the other thing was, oh, yeah, I'll still put all the audio up on the feed.
That'll probably evolve and turn into whatever it's going to turn into.
And for those of you worried about, well, audio is not going to be as fun because I'm listening to you guys talk about a thing that I can't see.
Don't worry.
If you've heard film sack, you know that conversations devolve and we add things and start talking about things while we're talking about the thing that we were meant to be talking about.
So it will be, you know, it will be, there will be the comedy that you know and love from TMSPM.
You'll just get more of it.
I was thinking maybe doing a video capture of it.
It would just be a commentary on top of a film.
But since I can't put that on like YouTube or something, just giving everybody like a Dropbox link or something.
If they want, just having it there if they want it.
We want to see the video version so you're all synced up and can hear the movie and us.
You know, maybe.
Maybe I'll do it.
I don't know.
I got to decide.
uh so some of this is still up in the air anyway let's see oh once a month we'll still do playdate
that's still a thing we'll swap in and do that so that doesn't change and uh you can actually
submit upcoming session ideas like what do you want to watch if you're like man there's this
weird british tv series i really want those guys to see it's only nine episodes uh whatever
um we want to know you you know what people want you to watch scott i don't know if
you've been watching the chat room when we first talked about this but uh uh uh uh uh you
Yeah, a certain adopted Norse god, half Norse god, half ice giant, frost giant, would really...
I would watch Loki.
Here's the problem with that, folks, is that we need, we can't just willy-nilly say, all right, we're watching Loki, because we can't make Loki a weekly thing.
You don't want to have that much time in between episodes.
Nobody does, right?
So we just got to make sure
We pick Loki
Episode 1 at a time
When you are ready to binge the rest of the series
After watching it
We watch the first two
We watched the first two
As part of TMS Couch Party
And then you continue that weekend
And watch the rest of it
Yeah, I would totally do that
That'd be totally fine
And if you guys are like
Hey what about an old episode of MASH
Fine
You want to watch a couple of those?
Great. You want to watch some ancient thing
Made in the 60s?
The point is, it can be anything.
We're not limited by anything here.
There's no weird Twitch streaming rules or any of that.
It's all a private Discord.
We're all friends in the same house, basically, is how that's going to work.
Exactly.
Your key to do this through the Patreon should be super simple because I'm finally tying the Patreon functionality directly to Patreon so that,
or Patreon directly to Discord, I should say, so that you'll be able to just.
see this room and go in there because your role is the correct role. You don't have to have
to have to worry about anything fancy. You just go in and you're in. Um, so anyway, there's a,
there's, if you go to the, the webpage, oh, I forgot to tell you, frogpants.com slash couch party where you
want to submit your, your submissions. Oh, that's cool. Nice. Uh, so you go check that out. And it's
also linked on the web page. So you can find it easy. Frogpants.com slash couch party. And of course,
all these details are up at patreon.com slash TMS if you're a patron. Now, uh,
Like I said, could change, could tweak, could move.
We don't know.
We don't know.
Maybe we get into this thing, Brian, and we're like, actually the best thing to do is one of these or two of these a month interdispersed with a normal PM and a play date.
Or maybe we, you know, I don't know.
I'm just, it's all, none of it is like in stone.
We're just trying to like freshen this little part of this up a little bit, do something fun and interesting and do it with you more of a communal event type thing every day.
every week. So anyway, that's the thinking. It doesn't have any effect on TMS proper. It's all
normal. No change there. Right. But if you want to know details, go check them out, especially if you
are a patron of the show. Okay. I think that's it. Do I miss anything? I think that's everything. I don't
think so. I think that, you know, any other answers will come about, we'll come about as we do this
thing because, you know, we're still figuring out ourselves. But yeah, it's a good way to kind of
freshen things up. Yep. I agree.
Great. All right. So here's a quick email from, oh, here, I promised to play this more when I get these.
Send and receive email. The morning stream at gmail.com is the email address. Greg from Madison, Wisconsin, sent this about the worker shortage because we were talking about my bad experience at Smash Burger and all that.
Oh, right. I guess I'm the manager.
You're the manager now. It says, hi, Scott and Brian. I'm listening to the TMS 2315 right now.
And I'm hearing you guys talk about the worker shortage. He says, well, much of what.
you said is true or while what uh what i think he meant while anyway while much is what of what you said
was true do not be fooled into thinking that most of these big companies can't afford to pay their
employees more a CEO pay rose in 2020 by 19 percent and grew uh from there in 2021 large companies
are making conscious decisions to continue to pay their employees at the same wages they were uh were
banking before the pandemic regardless of the fact the people at the top are making more and more money
yes, costs are going up right now due to supply chain and demand, but also note costs are fluctuating rapidly right now, also due to supply and demand. But these large companies can easily afford to pay their employees a living wage. I left a job last month for a new position in the same field. My old employer refused to give me a raise while my new employer was forced to give me a $10,000 raise due to my experience and the success that I've had in my field. CEOs and companies know what they must do to bring employees back, but they still refuse.
Thanks for reading, Greg.
Yeah, that seems to be the consensus.
I haven't heard anything to counter this.
Well, I know it's true because anything publicly held out there like, you know, public companies,
they have to release these numbers and CEOs and everybody at the top and bottom lines are through the freaking roof right now.
They're making so much money.
So I don't buy any of it where they're like, well, we're, you know, due to these trying times.
Things are tough all over.
Uh-huh.
Real tough.
Freaking CEOs.
with their golden underwear.
I can barely afford to put chlorine in my giant infinity pool.
Yeah.
So I don't like it at all, and I think it sucks.
Also, I'll tell you what else sucks.
I don't watch the news very often.
I don't watch the news.
But I was watching the news yesterday, a stream.
I don't even remember who it was.
But they have these guests on who just a month or two ago were the same guest that they
had on saying that the gas prices,
was the worst thing to happen.
This is the administration's fault to this is, you know,
basically blaming everybody except giant oil companies who are gouging everybody.
Right.
And then they're on yesterday because gas prices are now plummeting.
They're going down.
And he comes on.
And these same people said, well, we're worried about these mom and pop gas station owners
who are going to be strapped with this lower.
like you can F off you can F right off oh here we go right there yes cap Kipper just put a thing in the thing uh Fox News is now saying the gas prizes are falling too fast with a host saying that this decline is historically faster than usual which is causing independently on mom and pop gas stations to struggle eat a turd which way do you want it it's everyone's fault exactly yeah it's with the way they want it is in a way that makes it very easy to blame the liberal administration
or or I don't even care who's in there right now like just the news can eat it they're bad at this and it's not just that they're bad at this they bring on people who are bad at this and they do it on purpose because controversy and idiots sell it makes money so double bird to the entire freaking 24 hour news network industry here's the two birds I'm giving you eholes yeah yeah
A little worked up there, Brian.
A little bit worked up.
Apparently so, my goodness.
By the way, a big shout out to Madison, Wisconsin.
A lot of our listeners are from there.
Oh, yeah.
And if we want to have a nice meetup, some Saturday or Sunday morning at the place called smut and eggs,
where you can watch porn while you eat breakfast at a bar in Madison, Wisconsin.
Sure.
This is real?
I've never heard of this.
Smutton eggs.
Yeah.
Wow.
That's fantastic.
Guess who?
Guess which people in my life told me about smutton eggs who might be from Wisconsin.
Let me think here for a second.
I wonder if they have crazy in their name and Dave at the end.
Yes, as a matter of fact, yes.
That sounds right.
Speaking of Wisconsin and people from there, a shout out and birthday happy wishes to Jules Scott, who is from there.
She currently lives in Minnesota, but she's also from Wisconsin.
It hurts their birthday today.
Happy birthday, Jules.
And happy birthday also to Wicked Kitten, who is not from Wisconsin, but is great,
Nonetheless.
She is great.
Oh, you're not from Wisconsin?
Even though she's not from Wisconsin, she's still pretty darn good.
Yeah, you're pretty darn good.
Well, happy birthday to both these fine ladies.
Happy day, do you.
So there you go.
And may your eggs always be smutty, okay?
All right.
Oh, it's Monica's mother?
Oh, okay.
Happy birthday to wicked mother kitten.
Oh, Monica's, it's not Monica's birthday.
It's not Monica.
I saw something about Monica's birthday, and I guess it was Monica's mom's birthday.
Okay, well, you know, there you go.
That's all right.
I mean, look, they're related, genetic material, passed down between generations.
Right, exactly.
May as well be the same person, it's fine.
May as well.
Hey, I'm going to tell you really quickly, I didn't put in our show notes here, but I did drive for Lyft yesterday.
Oh, yeah.
How'd that go?
And one of the worst things that can happen happened to me when I drove Lyft yesterday.
Oh, no.
So I was like, all right, well, I'll just drive for a couple hours, no problem.
That'll be just fine.
I get in the car. I have to take some computers up to this place in Boulder, so I take it up there, drop it off.
And then as soon as I'm done, I flip on Lyft and say, I'm online, give me rides.
And I haul a couple people around Boulder. I decide, all right, things have kind of dried up here.
I'm going to start heading towards Denver, because if things dry up in Boulder, I can go to Denver and usually get a ride right away.
On the way, I get a pickup from a Vista hospital, which is a hospital that's along the way.
I don't know if you may have heard about some horrible fires that we had last year, wiped out 200 homes.
Oh, yeah, those were bad.
That was bad.
Right up to the edge of a Vista hospital.
It's that area kind of along the way.
We almost got evacuated in our neighborhood because it was kind of close to us.
That's right. That was bad.
So it's not uncommon, too, for hospitals to request lifts for patients who don't have family members who come and pick them up.
You know, I've had to drive people back from the hospital quite a bit lately.
Sure.
So I go there, I pick up this woman.
She is carrying a couple big plastic bags.
And she says, I'm just going to apologize right now when I,
came into the hospital it was during the rain so everything i had was sopping wet and they just
shoved them into plastic bags three days ago and they've sat in those plastic bags for the last
three days mildew so i apologize for the smell and like oh i can't imagine yeah yeah mildew
clothes man nothing good about mildew in your clothes it's bad actually i i keep a thing of a spray
thing of uh febrize in my car for just that reason so i looked in the app i said
say, all right, Karen has been picked up.
I made up the name Karen.
Just, you know, I don't want to docks or give anybody's room.
I don't know if it's worse, though, naming her Karen in these trying Karen times.
It was similar to that, so that's why I picked that.
And then it says, all right, get ready for your hour and 15-minute drive up to North Fort Collins.
Oh, my gosh.
This is past the place that it took me, six.
hours to ride my bike to at the end of last month.
I had to, uh, do they give you more for that or no? Do you not, does it the same?
No, I get, it pays me just as much as if somebody not at a hospital.
Well, what I mean is like that distance. Like let's say it's only five blocks versus 20 miles.
What's, oh, yes. I mean, you get paid per mile. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
It's, you know, your, your, your drive is based on the distance.
and sometimes the time if you have to do, like if there's any sort of rush hour traffic
or things like that that you have to deal with.
So yeah, yeah, it was absolutely, like it ended up being like a $60-some drive up there.
Okay.
Here's the problem with that is that great.
Now I'm like I'm close to 60 miles away from where I started.
How do I get back?
Like I'm not just going to magically get a ride up in North Fort Collins says, hey, I'll let
you back to Arvada is like they immediately matched me up no I've got to figure out like all right
I can bounce around up there in Fort Collins for a while then make my way down 10 miles to
berth and see if I get any rides there then make my way down to Longmont fortunately I had one person
in Fort Collins who wanted to go really close to Longmont so I'm like oh you you are I should
tip you for for like making it so that I could actually make money driving back towards where I want
go and so that's kind of what i did i just whenever i got to a uh a town i just kind of bounced
around there picked up some people until uh either it dried up or until i got a ride that was like
i want to go north i'm like nope sorry south is south is where i'm going so does she so when you
got the lady at the hospital mildew let mary they say in the chat did she you don't know when
you're doing that pickup that fort collins is the destination or do you do you know then
I do. There's a little tiny thing underneath the thing that says a 40 plus minute ride or sometimes 30 plus minute ride or 50 minute ride.
And it kind of gives you an idea. Now, every other time I've seen that, it was airport.
And it's like, great. I can hop on the toll road. I've got a sticker in my car that cheapens the toll road for me.
I'm out there in 20 minutes. I can get a ride back from the airport.
near the airport, usually back west, later in the day when people, when flights are coming in.
Morning, no, it's, it's, if you, if you, if you, if you, uh, have to go to the airport in the
morning as a lift driver, the way I look at it is, uh, the city is this nice pool, right?
We're all just, ah, we're like all these little toys floating in the pool, uh, floating along.
Oh, what's that?
Oh, it looks like I'm getting close to the filter.
Oh, I'm sucked into the filter.
And you just stay in the filter.
You never get out of the filter.
the airport in the morning is the is the filter that all the toys are trapped in waiting to get out
oh it sounds like a nightmare i hate that the whole idea but uh no you know it's it's uh it worked out
i got paid for most of the rides that that i got up there and whatever i there's something
about chatting with people 99.9% of the people that i've had in my lift over the three
or four years that i've been doing it have been have been either
really cool to talk to or interesting to talk to or they just didn't talk and we had a nice
you know relaxing introspective silent ride but uh i can't believe you've been doing it
it felt like you just started doing it but three four years well it was a year and a half that i
didn't do it true because of reasons but i remember that when you started it was right before
the pandemic right it was like 2019 yeah right before the pandemic and and uh and look if
there's anybody out there who's like i've been thinking about doing this let me know because i do
have um i have bonus codes i can give you so that your first like if you do x number of rides
in your first month you get a huge bonus like a thousand or twelve hundred dollar bonus so and i
can give you tips i can be your i'll be your your guide your shirpa yeah your lift shirpa i like that
yeah yeah let sherpa what is that you got the a word was that the a word talking to you no it was
the s word on my uh it was the s word on my uh it was the s word on my
on my wrist she thought i was talking to her somehow and i don't know why yeah i don't either sometimes
the s word she thinks things let's just put it that way okay yeah yeah i don't trust her stop thinking
stop thinking of yourself there robot face all right look at this we got uh we got a we got a
lineup of news today it's important breaking news we're going to get to it right now
it's time for the news brought to you by brought to you by a brand new episode of soundography
with that I just posted.
We had a sponsored episode
from a listener
and Hammond and I had to listen
to a band called
The Dirty Heads.
Ugh, right?
You think to yourself,
The Dirty Heads.
I don't want to listen to some band.
No, these guys are great.
If you like 311,
if you,
311 was easily the biggest comparison.
Maybe sublime,
little Jack Johnson.
It's kind of that real positive reggae
kind of sound to them.
Positive trip,
trip hop reggae.
Dirty heads are great and him and I listen to all of it
And we're here to talk to you about it
Soundography.com is where you can find our season finale
Very nice, the dirty heads
The dirty, dirty heads
The rest is clean, just the head is dirty
Correct, yes, you just want to clean that head
It sounds dirty, dirtier than I meant it to me
All right, let's get to this story here about Pringles
Pringles is in the news because Pringles
wants to name a spider after itself
Here's why, so this is a very visual
story. I'm going to have to pull this link up here.
Oh, does he have a Pringle-shaped body?
He has a Pringle's logo
for a body, basically.
Look at that thing. Look at that thing.
Oh, my gosh. Pretty rad.
Yeah, I think if Sonny Bono
were alive, he would say, well, hold
on. Just one second, Pringles.
Hold on you guys. I don't know what his voice
was like. I don't remember. That's pretty close to
it. I think Tom Selleck at one point would have
had a way to claim this one, too.
Oh, yeah. Tom Selle could do it. He could do it now.
Probably. Does he have the mustache
I think so. I thought he hasn't in that blue blood show. Maybe he did shave it. I don't know.
Maybe he has it back. I don't know. I just know that for a while there, he shaved the mustache and I was like, who's that guy?
Yeah, who is that foot? I don't want that. Put that back on.
So here's the deal. Prinkles and spiders, probably two things you don't want to associate with each other until now.
The Kellogg-owned brand is petitioning. Oh, I didn't know Kellogg owned them.
I didn't know that either. Wow. All right. It's the same, it's the same material just flavored differently than your corn flakes as my guess.
It kind of is, yeah.
It's all mashed together into a shape.
Anyway, they're petitioning the Anacrid community or the Arachnid community
to recognize the little-known kidney garden spider as the Pringle Spider.
And the reason is the snack food maker says has this uncanny resemblance to the moustachioed logo.
In 1968, the world was introduced to the iconic Pringle's can and logo.
But little did we know.
There was a creature amongst us who was unknowingly spreading the Pringle's love, says,
Marucio Jenkins
Maricio
Yeah, Maricio Jenkins
That's what I yell when I
I read
Mustache, I just like that by the way
Maricio Jenkins
If he doesn't, it's a crime
He's the marketing lead here in the US
He said this via a press release
Their online petition began last week
And has just over a thousand signatures
It's not a ton
It says if it's officially recognized
By the Araknid community
Community, what does that mean?
The spider community
No, the spider community, like the, the, the, uh, the, uh, the, the, uh, the arachnid, uh, loving.
People are just way into spiders.
I had to leave that discord. It was just getting too, uh, too venomous. It was just, uh, the spider discord.
It probably exists. Right?
I did make a joke in the chat room. I said that a stinky spider is an acrid or anacrit.
Ah, a stinky spider is an acrid arachnid.
There you go. See, that's, um, an acrid.
An accurate and a raccoon.
Oh, speaking to that, I think Kim and I discovered a new tongue twister yesterday.
See if I can remember what it was.
Oh, crap.
She'll have to tell me.
Why don't you leave your sex life out of this show, Scott?
That's funny because I made a similar joke at the moment.
But she didn't appreciate it.
But I can't remember the thing.
It was an amazing.
Ah, I should have written it down.
Why don't I write things down?
But it's one I've never heard before, and it's hard to do.
Really?
Okay.
I'll find it later.
I'll text her during the break or something and see if I can figure something out.
Anyway, they are, so here's the deal.
Pringle says it is going to give away 1,500 free cans of Pringles to the first 1,500
signatories to celebrate the spider's new name.
Hmm.
I'm guessing.
Can you bribe people to sign a petition like that?
I mean, is that fair?
Is that legal?
It seems illegal, but I guess petitions are just, oh, now they're way past this.
They're at their, they're at 6,400, yeah.
They've already gotten rid all.
their pringle, free pringles.
Almost 7,500, which...
It was also very misleading.
You thought you were getting a can of pringles.
You were just getting a chip.
Yeah, you want a chip.
It's sent you in a number two envelope.
Yeah.
I guess it's a number 10 envelope.
I can't remember what number two pencil, number 10 envelope.
Number two pencil, for sure.
There's number two pencil.
Yeah.
There's the 6B.
There's the...
Has the right hardness for you, the 6B, does it?
That's more than a handful.
Let's put it that way.
Anyway, if anyone out there got the free Pringles, you have to let us know what they actually send you.
Oh, yeah, please do.
If you get to choose flavor, you're going to be, is it just a basic one, probably, my guess?
Just the crappy, whatever the baseline flavor is of those things.
Sure, sure.
All right.
We'll see if this happens.
Right now it just doesn't seem like it's got the legs to make it.
I see what you did.
All in doesn't have eight legs.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It needs eight legs to make it.
Wait, do spiders have eight legs?
Is that the deal?
They do.
They have eight legs, yes.
Why am I thinking?
And eight eyes.
How many legs does an octopus have, Scott?
Well, wait a minute.
Spiders don't all have eight eyes.
Yeah, they all have eight eyes.
All spiders have eight eyes?
Is this true?
Here's where you're going to Google and find.
No, the rare no, no, no, no.
No, no.
This isn't about me trying to, I'm not trying to preview right or wrong.
I'm just, I am blown away by that.
Is that always been true that every...
I think all spiders have eight eyes.
I'm looking it up because I'm pretty sure.
Nope, here we go.
Spiders usually have eight eyes, but if you have good eyesight.
So some have six or fewer.
Look at that.
I thought it was, uh...
Six, seven, eight.
Okay, but I found one that seems to be indicative of the ones you talk, you're,
you're mentioning.
I found an eight eyeer.
And I guess I just thought,
I don't know what I thought.
I thought they had two, Brian.
I really thought they had two.
But what was I thinking?
Because I know I've seen something like this before.
I just put it in Discord.
Look at that guy.
Oh, isn't that freaky?
Yeah.
Yeah, you don't want that.
Your grilled cheese.
I'll tell you that right now.
Here's the cool thing.
So, obviously, spiders, eight legs, eight, usually eight eyes or often eight eyes.
Yeah.
Octopus.
Yeah.
Eight legs.
Yeah.
Nine brains.
Whoa.
What?
Per octop.
Per octopus?
What?
How is that?
What is that for?
What do they do with nine brains?
Is it a brain per head and then one per leg?
Per leg, a brain per leg, and then one for the head.
Wow.
And one for Jenny in the whip.
Humans suck.
We're boring.
Right?
I know.
Exactly.
Oh, one.
Look, they've just got one of most things, sometimes two.
I found a, so I found a spider with two.
and I don't and I you know what I don't like him here
a spider with two eyes yeah I feel like he's about to
launch at me and tell me that his food order was wrong or something
look at this guy look at that it's like hey what are you doing
I might just be the manager excuse me he's just too
he is I mean the legs up there like that
not a fan and we're sure that that's a two eyed it's
well you know what good point
on the sides and back of his head and stuff yeah it's good point I'm we're only
get in the front, so who knows. I follow
this, uh, it was kind of sad. I follow
this, uh, ticotker who
has a, um,
a spider, a pet spider named
Leopold or something like that.
And, um, it's this cute, furry
kind of white one. I don't
need, they're probably a certain species and it's
actually kind of cute. Like, it's cute for a spider.
And the poor thing, it did
passed away. I was sad.
Aw. The entire point of their
TikTok account now, now gone.
Oh, yeah. See? Yeah. It's a real
Bummer. Man, I did not know this about, look at all these spiders with all their eight eyes.
And here's the thing. None of them are in the same place.
Like, if you go from spider to spider, this guy's got them.
Oh, right. The arrangement of the eyes. Yeah. Wild to me. Just wild. All right.
It's like headlights on different model cars.
Bobby, I guess we don't need you today. We did some science. Just kidding. Hang around.
Well, I hope. I hope Bobby's going to talk about that James Webb telescope deal.
Yeah, I want to talk something.
Yeah, that stuff's Brad, although I heard...
It is amazing.
Can I share with you an email I got after I tweeted that?
Sure.
All right, Chad, I'll put it up so you can actually see it.
So, you know, I'm not just pulling this out of my ass.
I screen capped it.
So after I put up that image of the telescope capture, which is absolutely insane, amazing.
Yeah, just a massive number of galaxies and stuff in there.
And here's what the listener said.
I'll keep their name private.
And it came to my email account.
but I think they're a TMS listener. I'm not, I'm not sure.
Scott, I see, and I'll read typos and everything, okay?
Scott, I see you already falling for the latest attempt by the globalists,
pretending to be scientists to fool you into thinking that that image is real.
It's all fake and designed to drag Y-U further away from God
and into the waiting hands of Satanists.
It is, sorry, it is easy to see if you take a minute to look, or to think,
about it. Don't get pulled into this
trap. The choice is yours
to make, but he spelled yours, Y-O-U-R-S.
The choice is yours to make,
but you're getting
you did W-Y-O-U-R again.
That's the point.
But you're getting duped again by
Antichrists and Satin's
followers. Satins.
Satins followers?
Yeah, a concerned fan signed Anonymous.
Yeah. I don't even know who's
Play of this image from NASA.
I can't even tell if I'm being trolled or if they're goofing or if it's real.
I don't know.
I'm not claiming it's real.
I don't know.
I can't tell when you people are being serious.
I can never tell anyone.
As we know.
I haven't watched him in a while.
I see that he,
you know,
he keeps,
he keeps seeing his,
his prayer YouTube video live things.
I see them when they go live because I guess I did get,
I did allow notifications,
damn it.
But it's,
it's uh now the way you've got abortions uh locked up let's go for let's go for gay marriage or
something like that i don't mean it's not quite the way he's phrasing it but it is his yeah his uh his current
uh his current uh credo mission fantastic keep it up there weird old man um uh i almost forgot to say
we were talking about birthdays earlier and i totally spaced that gary fisher's birthday is today so
Happy birthday, Gary Fisher.
Yeah, hope you're doing good there, bud.
Well, she's not.
Who?
Gary Fisher?
Oh, Gary Fisher.
I thought you said Carrie Fisher.
No, Gary Fisher.
Gary from Lantronics, you know, listener of the show.
From the Toy Story, Latvia.
Oh, yeah, we'll talk more about Gary Fisher later on.
For a second, you had me thinking he had both died and was trans.
I heard Carrie Fisher.
That's funny.
Larry Kenobi says, I heard Carrie, too.
says, I heard Carrie too.
All right, good.
All right, Ryan's not crazy.
I must have.
I must have.
I need to enunciate.
I can tell you she's not doing well.
Yeah, she's not doing so good.
Or maybe better.
I don't know.
This world kind of sucks.
Maybe she's better off.
I don't know.
But Gary Fisher, alive and well, the news of Gary Fisher's
passing is, look at everybody.
I heard Carrie.
Yeah, I heard Carrie.
I heard Carrie.
Some mashed potatoes hurt, Gary.
Thank you.
You have mashed potatoes, yes.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
It's also Eileen Rivera's birthday, so Tom Merritt's wife's birthday.
Ilyne.
Rihara.
Yeah, Geraldo Rivera's birthday.
All right.
Well, Gary will probably have a good time with that.
Let's see.
Oh, speaking of bugs, a German museum has removed Damien Hirst's deadfly installation,
saying it wasn't aware that insects were covered by state animal, the welfare act for animals.
So now...
Well, don't worry, folks.
They've moved it to my local.
pizza hut. It's right there in the corner by the window.
There are a lot of flies right now. Have you noticed this? Are you having a bunch of flies?
I noticed them or like in the spring when I was. We're having them bad right now.
We're riding that yeah. And we don't get them in, we get them in the fall usually. We don't get them in the summer. And I don't know what's going on. Why we have so many freaking flies. But they're everywhere. So he was trying to eat dinner last night outside. And it was just like, no, it's fly time. Get out of here. Can't do it.
Gets the flame thrower. That's right.
Ever get tempted to buy one of those bug assault things?
Have you seen those?
Is it just the zapper thing?
Well, no, it's a gun that shoots salt.
Like, you basically pour table salt into it.
And it shoots flies with little like a, like a, oh my God, what's the, what's the gun type where it shoots a whole bunch of.
Shotgun?
Scattergun.
Scattergun.
Scattergun.
Scattergun.
Scattergun of salt.
Oh, my gosh.
Well, I want to do that.
now the best thing about the bug assault isn't necessarily the device itself it is the slow motion
videos that they put online of people shooting flies with bug assault i think i saw this but didn't
know what was happening i think i saw some like some close-ups of flies getting obliterated by some
white powder yeah just playing along and it's like it is the best it is the best uh marketing
you could ever dream of
is having these slow-mo videos of
bugs getting. So this isn't the same as like
the salt gun I got hit with
when I was a kid. A guy,
basically it's a shotgun that shoots salt.
It's not like that. It's not like a full gun, right?
It's like a small.
I mean, it's like a, you know,
I mean, it's probably this big
kind of. Wow.
Yeah.
Because I get hit when I was a kid.
If you have an ace hardware near you,
they're right there before you get to the checkout line.
Look at that.
there it is.
I kind of want one.
I mean, right now, especially, there's so many.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Is there a gun in your house?
Make it a salt gun.
Here's like all the,
the most popular video with slow motion
flies getting
popped.
It's like a Nerf gun that shoots a pinch of salt.
So I just load it with salt.
Like, yeah, you just load it with salt.
You just pour, you know,
your basic table salt,
uh,
And why is it salt specifically?
Is it because it's just a good...
Because it's cheap ammunition and...
So it's not that the salt or the sodium or whatever is not really doing anything.
That's not the reason.
Right.
No.
All right.
Although I think if it takes a leg off, that's...
Oh, geez.
Can you imagine?
The salt going in there is...
Oh, my gosh.
That's horrible.
Also, somebody told me that the thing where we all think flies only live a day, 24 hours, is not true.
Mayflies do, but yeah, house flies are a few days, aren't they?
Yeah, and I didn't know that.
I thought, for all my whole life, I thought every fly was born in the morning,
and then the next night, or the next morning, it was like,
well, tell my grandchildren I love them, and then they're dead.
And I thought it was every freaking day.
Well, anyway, I'm going to consider.
All about science.
Who needs Bobby when we have all this great science that we're learning here on the show?
Really strong science today.
Yeah.
Anyway, this Damien Hearst guy.
Oh, yeah.
His deadfly installation.
Yeah, his dead fly installation, which I don't know if I'd, well, whatever, I don't know if I want to see it.
This feels a little bit weird.
Anyway, the artist's installation 100 years from 1990, in response to a complaints from the animal rights group, PETA, the work now a bisect a glass cube, sees flies hatch on one side, travel through a hole to reach artificial light, and then die upon.
arrival from the insecto insecto cooter cuter cuter insecto cuter like an electrocuter right yes insecticuter
insecto cooter oh oops wait a minute that's not cooter that's uh who is no that was uh that's uh
er that's uh enis uh rosco p coltrade yes yes but there was a i'm sure there was somebody named cooter on
that show there had to be. Wasn't there a cooter? Oh yeah, he's the local
mechanic guy was cooter. Yeah, yeah. That's right. Sure.
Saw one episode with you guys. I know, but that's still pretty good. You
remembered? All of that, that's good detail for a show you never watch. It's better than
talking about the other usage of the word cooter. Anyway, this, so
animal rights activists are all pissed because you're doing this to flies. I don't know
where the line is. Like, at home, you can kill one with a, with a fly swatter.
or this salt gun or whatever, but you can't have a little cube that does it.
I don't know.
Yeah, that is an interesting, because you're, you know, what's, what's the line?
Indoor for art's sake versus indoor for cleanliness sake?
Yeah.
Like, nobody, nobody, if anyone gets upset at this, I would actually call foul because I would say,
you're killing flies and spiders all the time.
So the only difference is you're not doing it for an art show.
Is that the difference?
Well, yeah, I mean, Talley says it's displaying.
suffering for our amusement, which it kind of is
that is like
that is what it boils down to.
Like, you know,
the fact that if it was a kitten,
you know, like we'd obviously have a huge problem with it.
We would have a huge problem with it.
Why is a kitten okay, but a fly is not okay to do this?
Yeah, but at home, like nobody's killing.
Why is it okay to do this to a fly and not okay to do this?
Nobody's at home with a stick beating cats.
And if they are, they should be, and if they were,
they would be prosecuted for animal cruelty,
but nobody's getting arrested for squash
and flies on them. So I, I don't
know. To me, that's a, I'm not
calling it a slippery slope. I'm just saying it's a
weird little, it's a weird little
deal, you know?
One of those weird societal deals.
I mean, you know, I hate flies,
so I'm kind of like,
yeah, probably shouldn't do this, but
you know, at least it's flies.
Yeah. Yeah,
that's, at least the flies are dying.
At least the flies are dying.
Although they are creating flies just to kill them, right?
It's not like flies are hatching and then they're immediately getting killed
as opposed to like taking existing pests and getting rid of them.
Yeah.
And also why, okay, chat makes a point.
So watching YouTube videos of a fly getting hit with a saw gun, isn't that the same thing?
I mean, I don't know.
That's my point, is it?
Is it the same?
It's entrapment because you even see them putting out fruit to attract the flies that they're going to hit with a bug assault.
Nobody is, are they going after them?
Are they getting, well, I guess they'd have to have their videos taken down, but I don't know.
I don't know.
All right.
Well, once again, the world's complicated.
There's no, it's not all ones and zeros, everybody.
It's not black and white.
Nope.
Shades of gray and flies are shades of gray.
That's right.
And they stand on your poop and rub their hands together.
They do.
Exactly.
Yeah, one of my favorite jokes was two flies sitting on a piece of poop, and one of them says,
oh, man, and I tell you what I did this last weekend, I got so drunk, and I just puked all over the place.
And the other one goes, hey, I'm eating here.
Yep, day and life of flies.
Fantastic.
All right, one final story.
This is a Colorado connection.
Enjoy this one.
former NFL quarterback Jake Plummer.
Oh, I know this guy.
Is now Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos guy.
Now mushroom farmer in Colorado.
Nice.
What kind of mushroom?
Yeah, I know, right?
If you ever wonder what former Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos quarterback,
Jake Plummer is doing now, wonder no longer.
Plummer is now co-founder of my colove.
Myco-love.
Michael Love.
Michael Love Farm.
Marco-Love Farm.
Marco Colove Farm, I don't know.
My co-love farm.
Which has been selling locally grown medicinal and culinary mushrooms and mushroom extracts 30 miles outside of Denver since 2021.
Says, it's not like we've discovered this new mushroom, says Plummer.
They have been around forever.
We're just figuring out ways to grow them efficiently, extract them so they're very potent,
and make them available to people who are interested in their health and wellness and preventative maintenance that are sick and tired of being sick and tired.
He makes about eight grand a month.
Congratulations. You've created mold.
Yeah, you made some mold. Nice job.
He makes about 8K a month in revenue.
It's not a lot.
That isn't a lot. Really? Is that it?
That's it.
Plummer age 47 first learned about the medicinal properties of mushroom extracts
while working for a CBD company for years after his NFL career ended in 2008 or 2007.
He said the supplements helped him feel better and sleep better and eventually co-founded
Umbo to make and sell mushroom bars and supplements with two.
others, including former UFC champion, Rashad Evans.
The company faltered a bit in COVID-19's pandemic because of supply chain,
which prompted Plummer to explore farming the mushrooms.
That led Plummer to the Michael O Farm, where his co-founder, Shane Schoolman, Leo Polio.
That's a horrible last name.
Leo Polio.
Yeah.
Leo Polio.
Michael Heim opened it in 2021.
I think I saw this dude because he was under,
that's the same guy.
there was somebody who was having a really hard time in the NFL and was suffering like from massive panic attacks or something.
So he started doing a little bit of weed and the NFL notoriously hardcore about drug tests and stuff.
Put him on probation.
It was a huge big deal.
Even though he wasn't doing it, he was doing it outside of the game.
And it was also in a, I think it was legal when he was doing it, I think.
anyway, but it was still against
NFL rules.
Yeah.
Point is, I think this is that guy.
And I think he's just,
now he's just like, yeah, man,
making
mushroom bars.
If you decide to open a grow house,
Jake, he could probably put an extra
zero at the end of that.
But, you know, that is a point, right?
It's revenue,
not profit.
Because how much is he paying
for that land?
How much is he paying to
to employees.
And that's why I'm thinking.
Eight grand just didn't seem like...
No. He's clearly not in it for the money.
I don't think.
No, clearly.
He may be...
In it for the mushrooms, man.
Yeah, he's in it for the shrooms.
He's in for these mushroom bars.
I've never had a mushroom bar.
I would try one, but I've never had one.
If anyone out there has access to these, send us some mushroom bars.
Brian and I'll try them on the show.
Having tried mushrooms, I mean, you know, culinary mushrooms, love mushrooms.
Put them on pizza, put them in a soup, put them out, you know,
know, give me raw ones with some ranch to dip them in, I'm all over it.
Yeah.
I will say the one time I tried the hallucinogenic kind of mushrooms, they tasted like shit.
That's not a word I use lightly, Scott.
Is that how your intake those?
You're supposed to just eat them, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, you can chop them up and put them and have them with something, but, yeah, no, they were not good.
I never tried that.
Are they, uh, did you, did you get a kind that you could verify like, uh, I don't know,
these aren't poisonous or this came from, I didn't, no, I get them from, uh, let's just, let's just,
got it from crazy neighbor. I mean, let's, you know, of course you did. Yes. Of course it was Dave.
In Vegas. Yeah. Yeah. And did it, did it, did it, how did it leave you? How did it affect you?
Oh, it definitely had an effect. It was, um, it wasn't like a, oh, wow, I'm seeing,
hand trails and stuff.
It was like a, oh, yeah, feel a little lighter, you know, like a little, like a little, like the world is slowed down a little bit for me and that sort of thing.
Oh.
Yeah.
That's how that weed in a Bol Vegas made me feel, felt like that.
Like all of a sudden I'm hearing sitar music and the bellagio founts are a big kaleidoscope or anything like that.
Oh, that's too bad.
That's too bad.
That's too bad. I know.
I'd like that.
Whatever that is, I'd like some of that, please.
It's probably a quantity thing, right?
If you take more, you get a bigger effect or something.
Probably, yeah, I did only, I did partake in a very, very small amount.
Yeah, I never had a mushroom that I know of.
No one's ever slipped me anything that I know of.
I was talking before the show.
I've never smoked a cigarette.
Still don't know what that's like other than secondhand.
And I don't know what was the, oh, but now I've done the weed thing in Vegas, so there's that.
Yeah.
I guess I got what's next heroin?
What's the gateway?
Yeah, you know, when you do something in Vegas, it doesn't count for the rest of the United States.
No.
I can say, no, I've never taken drugs except for it in Vegas, but that doesn't count because it was Vegas.
And it stays there.
I mean, I remember that slogan.
I know they don't use it anymore, but it still holds, still law.
Oh, yeah.
It's the law of the land.
I wonder if they're still using your Vegas is showing.
What is the current?
Yeah, is that still.
Your Vegas is showing is so dumb.
It's so bad.
Like, pull up your pants, your Vegas is showing.
I hate that one.
What is the current Las Vegas slogan?
Where is it?
Is it just Vegas.com?
When you're here, you're broke.
The tourism board?
Because remember how we were talking about how somebody bought the Vegas domain?
Nope.
It's a...
Nothing?
Las Vegas tourism official.
Let's do that.
I feel like I saw an ad recently, but I don't remember what they said.
Visit Las Vegas is the official.
That's it?
No, no, no, I'm saying that's the visit Las Vegas.com is the official.
Enjoy live in Vegas.
Enjoy life to the fullest.
No, what is?
Wieners out.
Oh, what happens here only happens here.
Oh, so they just is the current slogan.
Okay, so they're playing with the stays here.
Yeah, it's a playoff, exactly.
He probably got in trouble for that.
Yeah.
It's better than the last slogan.
Las Vegas, that probably.
that probably won't wash off.
I have a shirt with a stain from Vegas that won't wash off, literally.
It has a hole now because I scrubbed it so hard.
I had a little hole forming.
It's fantastic.
I think I should just throw that shirt away.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
That part of the shirt is now transparent because you've tried washing it with something.
I really did.
And it's still got the stain plus like two little holes in it.
So I think I should just use it as like a dust rag and be done with it.
Speaking of dust rags and being done with it, that doesn't make any sense.
We're going to take a break.
when we come back, Bill's back in town.
He's back from his vacation.
We're going to see what's going on with him.
I'm also told he has brand new router and Wi-Fi set up,
so that means we shouldn't have all those weird
brand with problems we had within the last couple of weeks.
Anyway, so that's coming up next.
We got Bobby after that.
Stick around everybody.
Brian's going to play music in the meantime.
Las Vegas.
Does this look infected to you?
Let's go to Ontario, Canada, for a band called Among Legends.
They have a brand new album called Take Good Care.
It was recorded with Sigford.
Fried Meyer from face-to-face and Chuck Ragan or Reagan.
It's now available on Little Rocket Red Girlfriend Records and the sounds of Subterrania.
They're going on tour.
Here's the first song from the album.
It's called Magnolia.
The day with it feels just like the day we met
Two strangers on the corner never annexed
Two stories and demon
to drive for the star for so long you forget they were ridden apart
and the first half they don't match
but nothing is perfect
chucking up to
different histories
never thinking that
your plans aren't the same
for me
it's out to go
Outside a Lodge of Wading and Fierge a toll
What's this mistake for making a people know
And some stories after close
So take good care of all stay in touch
The day we live is exactly the way you should feel
Having a bright, humid and far too still
A swell as it desperately aches for a breathe
But everything stacked in the air in the leans
We're making decisions we both know we need
And maybe you've got the same questions as me
But it's time to go
Outside our lives are waiting
And being told
What's this mistake we're making
And we both know
I took stories out and close
So take a candle
Stay in touch
Yeah, it's a miracle
We can split it all
Four rooms
With 16 empty walls
Someone else is right by not more
So long in the door
And we'll walk away together
Turned once more
Look back in where we've planned forever
And we both know
That a story's about to close
about to close
And just because it's good
And doesn't mean it's mine
It's time to glow
And sound to know
And sunrise are paying
It takes off
What's this mistake
We're making
And we know
There's a story's about to close
So take a careful
Stay in time
Is that something you can understand.
Sure, I understand.
Oh, because you were young ones, huh?
No, not exactly.
Who pissed on the sandwiches?
This is the morning stream.
You're a freak and a cannibal, and you've come to the wrong town.
And we're back, everybody.
That song once again was...
It is called Magnolia from Among Legends from their brand new album.
Take good care.
Oh, it seems like good advice regardless.
It's very good advice.
You should definitely do that.
Take good care of you and those around you.
okay even your eight your eight-eyed spiders your six-eyed spiders it doesn't matter yeah
whichever spiders yeah whatever spiders your black spiders your Hispanic spider all right check
this out your bat caves open there bill bill der ran all the way back from vacation the long time
he was out of town and he's joining us today like he does on tuesdays to talk about the world
of making stuff hello bill welcome back hello good to be back oh you sound so good this week
listen to that. I know, right? That's what
$300 worth of new equipment will do
for you. That's
very nice. And sadly, the ISP
does not supplement that. You're on your
own usually when that happens. So
hats off to you. Well, it's good to have you back. How was
your trip?
It was great. Both
mine and Brittany's families live in upstate
New York, so we fly up there once a year to go say
hi to everyone. I
was telling you guys I did
those Thorhammer
kits for my nephews.
How'd that go?
Huge hit.
Went very well.
We're talking young boys between the ages of five and ten.
So they built them themselves, but they made these foam with Thor's hammers.
And then for the next three days, I was fixing Thor's hammers because they were not gentle with them, which is fun.
That's kind of than fixing kids, right?
Yeah, right.
Exactly.
Yeah.
That's cool, though.
I knew those.
I mean, they're kids and it's Thor's Hammer.
Why wouldn't they be out of their minds?
Oh, yeah.
That's awesome.
That was really, really fun.
But I had another bit of fun that led to an opportunity.
I think today I want to talk about how being a maker makes you really good at fixing things.
Oh, all right.
Because I had an opportunity to fix something very expensive.
Oh.
While you were away?
While I was away, while I was in the field, so to speak.
All right.
So right when we got to New York, one of the things I was the most excited about was to fly my new drone.
I have the DJI FPV.
You wear goggles like VR and you get to see what the drone sees.
It's really fun, but I can't fly it near my house because I live near three airports.
Oh, you're in a no-fly zone.
Very much a no-fly zone.
But in upstate New York, my family has a farm where we can do whatever we want.
So right when I got there, right, fresh off a red-eye flight, I pulled out my drone just to show it off to my brothers.
I showed them just how fast it could go.
It can go about 60 miles an hour.
And I flew it 60 miles an hour, straight into a tree.
Oh, 60.
Ugh.
Like right away, I was in the air for less than a minute before I obliterated the drone.
Just, that's faster than a lot of cars are driving in those neighborhoods.
I tweeted out pictures a couple days ago if you're interested in checking out the carnage.
Oh, man.
But basically, this drone has four wings, one of them,
snapped right off and it's got this very delicate looking array of cameras on the bottom that
broke off too. I was pretty devastated but I went to the harbor store. I got some five minute
epoxy and I got some zip ties and boy howdy I was able to fix that thing. I was able to fix it
so they can fly as good as new and I was very happy because it's about it would have been
$700 to replace the drone and that that's that would be a lot a lot more than five minute
epoxy yes for sure oh yeah look at this banged up also sorry i accidentally got i skipped
head too far and went back to may and found a picture of you from 2002 with long hair at a
concert that freaked me out for a second all right uh so yeah how did you how did you know what to do
oh my gosh that thing is banged up geez yeah so the the wing the wires seemed like they were okay
It was dangling, but it seemed like it was only cosmetic.
So I was able to glue the wing back on and hope that the electronics were okay.
And some of the lights don't work anymore, but those aren't really necessary for flight.
So, yeah, and it worked just fine.
And then the cameras, I just zip tied those on.
They had screws that snapped right out.
I just zip tied it back on.
Good is new.
Totally fun.
I was going to try and fix the screws, but you know what?
zip ties work fine there is nothing wrong with a zip tie in any situation zip ties of the
bomb yeah oh yeah like the mcgiver for for stuff like this yeah so many things i also like
that you i like that you did so is this video uh that you did the fireworks drone viewing is this post
or pre uh damage this is after the repair you can tell i was i was super cautious once i fixed it
Yeah, I flew it right through some fireworks as they were over a lake or something, a body of water.
In the dead of night, too.
Like, I couldn't, you can't see a thing.
Yeah.
But it was thrilling.
It was so worth it and so much fun.
That's awesome.
I love drone shots through fireworks.
It's so cool.
Yeah.
Do it in first person with those goggles on while you hear the explosions going on around.
You were just extraordinary.
No kidding.
I didn't think you'd, I didn't know you got audio from that.
Is that I didn't know what was a thing?
Well, I'm sitting next to the fireworks.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
I thought you meant like the drone itself was
No, it doesn't, it doesn't.
But I was, I'm actually in frame in that shot.
You can't quite see me, but.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, man, I see a little dude down there.
It must be you.
That's cool, man.
I was just, I was thinking how the tools and skills I've collected over the last 10 years
have made me quite good at repairing stuff.
Also, when we were kids, we had RC cars and planes.
So we got a lot of practice fixing those as well when I was little.
but here in the shop
I've got every kind of glue
every kind of raw material
I have multiple 3D printers
so if I have to make something complicated
like a replacement part
I can do that from scratch
and I have a lathe and a CNC machine
if I need to make parts from metal
that's pretty amazing like
just what we can repair
with what we have
I mean obviously me but anyone really
has a lot of things around their house
that could help them fix stuff
Brian you've ever had to do that
like 3D print something to fix an existing device or you know um i have for other people i fixed a
um a blender for someone uh like who who found the 3d part online because apparently it was a frequent
thing that that broke currently um it's actually printing right now i'm printing a
um a cord charging cord holder that works in my cup holders in the back seat of the car so that right
now, you know, I tell people, oh, yeah, just charge, you know, there's charging cables back there
for you, but they're flippy, floppy, all willy-nilly. Yes, I said, flippy, floppy, and
willy-nilly. And I want something that kind of organizes them in the cup holder area back
there for them. And so, yeah, I'm designing my own stuff as opposed to just downloading
Mandalorians and printing them like crazy. Wow. Awesome. Wow. That's, yeah, that's cool.
Pretty cool. I was just looking around the house of things that I've repaired.
uh my glasses i've fixed multiple times multiple glasses sure uh little uh fixes around the house
a bunch of equipment like a vacuum cleaner the lawnmower um parts of my vehicle i've fixed my cell phone
before i've fixed furniture before and and also like especially with the car if you look up the
the exact problem you're having with the exact car and year someone on youtube yeah has has done it i'm sure
It said that there, yeah, this is a problem.
Here's how you fix it.
You know what you need is four screwdrivers.
Yeah, absolutely.
So even if you don't have the know-how, if you look it up on YouTube,
someone out there has fixed it.
So I implore you if something in your house is broken,
give it a shot.
Like my drone, it wasn't going to fly again.
I might as well try and glue this thing back together.
And lo-me-hold, it worked.
Save me $700.
Because I was very, very close to buying another drone.
Oh, my gosh.
$700 is no small fee.
I know, right?
Yeah, well done.
That's awesome.
I was so sad, though.
It was the first day of like a 12-day trip where I had planned to fly this thing every day.
Yeah.
I remember thinking, I don't know, maybe this is just, you know, back in the days where you'd build your own PCs all the time and, you know, kind of everything was DIY.
I feel like I've gotten to a place in my life now where even though all that stuff's easier to do and more accessible, I feel like I just have no patience for it.
So how do you do that part?
You know, like the drone, in the drone case, I mean, 700 bucks would motivate me to fix it.
Yeah, yeah.
But, you know, let's say it's, I don't know, a faucet's giving you trouble.
Yeah.
Part of me's like, let's go to Home Depot and do this.
And then the other part of me is like, no, Scott, you could do this.
You're a freaking man.
Get in there and figure it out.
But I'm terrible at that.
My tendency is to think, well, do I have the tools and materials I need to give it a shot?
Because if I do, I might as well give it a shot.
I'm going to save myself a trip.
I'm going to save myself some money.
if I just if I'll go sideways
fine I'll bite the bullet I'll go to the hardware store
but like nine times out of ten I end up fixing the thing
and I haven't to worry about it
well that's why I need you I need to live closer to you
yeah well having the I have just
every tool you can think of in my basement
and every glue and so I'm equipped to handle that
a little more than most people but I still think it's worth a shot
yeah if mine if mine can be done on a screen
I got you covered you're all good
well that's awesome it's an interesting way to have to i don't know it's look we if we if 3d printers
and fabrication and all this stuff becomes the norm in every home which it probably will be at
some point we're heading there then it only goes to say that we should all probably get a little
more up on the idea of you know fixing things you don't need to go replace everything that lamp
still works just to do a little wiring in there it's fine i say that because i have a lamp that i was
going to throw away. Now, I'm not going to. I'm going to fix it.
I can fix that
leg with fish net stocking on it.
That's right. That's right.
Just a ton of zip ties.
Yeah, all zip ties all day. Those are the best.
All right. Best use of plastic in the history of plastic.
Bill, it's always good to have you here and good to have you back, of course.
And people want to follow you and see all your cool stuff.
They can only need to check out the Punish Props.com website and or
YouTube channel, which is all tied together.
You can find out what he's going to be working on in the future.
And, of course, he'll be back next week.
Bill, anything else going on you want to mention?
A quick video to recommend.
Sure.
From hand tool rescue, this guy does tool restorations.
He found this really wacky, fractal vice for holding weird shaped stuff.
That seems like a useless vice.
Oh, it's so cool, though.
It's so, just look at it and you'll think, wow, that's cool.
I wish I had that size.
Oh, what the heck?
Things don't fit in there.
I guess what?
You just kind of wiggle stuff around until they fit in their,
perfectly and are completely secured.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, look at that.
All right.
I've never even heard of that.
Me neither, right?
Until I saw this.
Now I want one.
Fractal vice.
It sounds like a band or an album, doesn't it?
It does, yeah.
Fractal vice.
Fractal vice.
So would, in theory, any object can go in there?
Yeah, within, within the, you know, some parameter.
Sure, size would matter, yeah.
Oh, I like the way this guy does.
This is intro. This is fantastic.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
That's cool.
I didn't know that existed.
Steve's probably listening going, dude.
Of course, that exists.
What are you doing?
Go check it out.
That's over at Hand Tool Rescue.
And, of course, punish props for everything else that Bill's got going on.
Bill, have a great week.
We'll see you next time.
Bye now.
See it.
All right.
He always sounds like jury when he says that.
Yeah.
Jury's in London right now.
Oh, is he really right now?
Wow.
Yeah.
They're with Ashley having a.
having a gay old time, yeah.
Having a great time.
A jolly old time is what I would guess.
Yeah, you know, gay means something else now.
So probably not a gay old time.
I don't know, though.
Maybe they do.
I'm not here to shame anybody for anything.
You do whatever you want.
Sure.
I don't care.
You have whatever time you want to have.
You do what you got to do.
I mean, while some of you send weird emails to other people about...
Satin.
Satin.
Satin followers.
All hail satin.
That's right.
All right.
Oh, yeah, Bobby.
Globalists.
Globalists.
What does that even mean?
I don't know.
What does it mean?
What does that mean?
When someone says,
people who span the globe.
Okay.
Who believe the globe is around.
There it is.
Those are the people you're talking.
Nailed it.
Hey,
Hey, guys, I don't know if you noticed, but Bobby's here, and he's here to talk about
some science.
Look at him.
Look at that glorious hair.
My gosh.
It is glorious, no doubt.
I feel like if Jesus saw you'd win.
catch you and walk by you know what i mean he has oh that's right you live in the south you got
that hair yeah no kidding uh well i'm i'm loving that uh hey bobby welcome to the show it's all
around science his own bobby frankenberger he comes on tuesdays talks about science stories and
stuff are we doing the telescope today what what do you want to do it's up to you uh we can we can
talk about what i saw there's not like there's not been time to sort of what do you call it like
consolidate all the stuff coming out of that because they just I mean it was what time is it
now it was like an hour and a half ago that they started releasing the images live on
YouTube oh really wow oh I was look I thought it was yesterday I guess yesterday was the
snapshot the very first image they did release late sometime yesterday yeah and so that was
pretty cool you got to see this great image of a very small spot in the
sky with tons just like ridiculous amount of stars and galaxies just all over this image and um and one of
the cool things if you've seen the image it's just like filled with stuff right and they and they've even
cleaned it up there's a ton more stuff in there that we're not seeing but but uh that image which was a
really big high resolution image that they released uh it's it the amount of sky that that represents is
if you hold a grain of sand in your hand at arms length up to the
sky yeah that's how much of the sky that's looking at yeah this is there's an amazing yeah there's an
amazing gift floating around that I retweeted that that does this really well visually it shows the square
and then they pull back and show you where the square fits oh really yeah it's just it's just to
give you some perspective on yeah it's insane it's just really I've seen the comparison images of yeah
of that image.
I think that was the one where they're taking
the James Webb Space Telescope image
and sitting it on top of
the same space that you can see using
Hubble, right? The Hubble.
Yeah, and the Hubble one is, man, talk about...
It's like going from VHS to 8K Blu-ray.
It's nuts. It's crazy.
And one of the cool things you can see on there
is you can see
there's these smears
around the image
that look like a circular smear
and those and there's it's a galaxy
that's just been smeared in the image
and it's because of gravitational lensing
which is just the light from a grab
the light from a galaxy
really really far away is passing past
a cluster of galaxies in the middle of
image and the gravity of that galaxy cluster in the in the middle is bending all the light of
the galaxies around it and it's just it's just crazy the amount of detail that you can see and how
this is just after them just looking at stuff for a week like we're going to get so much stuff
out of this telescope and learn so many things it's just absolutely wild now that i'm looking
at a time lapse of the james web telescope being built and showing the chat room as i'm doing it i'm
curious um if who is james web like why are we what why is this named after him should we
we don't like to talk about james web because he's got a troubling past so really yeah um and there
was a there's even what is james web yeah um the there's been there was even a petition early on
when when we started talking about before this was launched uh to to rename the telescope and everything
He was, he was not, didn't have the greatest views on gender equality and people in, and, and, and sexuality and people working for NASA.
And let's just leave it at that.
But he was an astronomer.
Okay.
But he must have been a good enough of one that they were like, hey, we should name this after him, despite him being kind of dick.
Well, they named it after him a long time ago.
Like, this, this, this telescope has been being planned for a very, very long time.
and he was like a NASA administrator or something
and so
Oh my gosh, are you seeing these...
Probably not the best views.
Are you seeing these nebulas this thing is putting out?
My gosh.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
There were some of the images that they showed
were some planetary nebula
and they're just jaw-dropping,
how much detail that we're able to get.
Not just because of the high resolution,
which absolutely is part of why these images are so great,
but um but also because this telescope is able to see a much wider spectrum of light
yeah than than any other telescope that's been put in space like Hubble or or especially ones
from the ground but you can see infrared light yeah the one I'm looking at on the stream right now
um unbelievable is uh are the images that they've put out and uh and yeah it's just it's just
outstanding because you can see near infrared mid infrared and far infrared all of
it different and you can combine those
images of different light
because this telescope is all
about infrared light and
everything. It's a pretty
wild stuff. I love
I love when everyone suddenly
stops doing anything else and talks about space
because it has this really
great way of making all of our
dumb assery seem small
you know. It really does.
Yeah, it puts things into perspective, doesn't it?
Yeah, yeah. In the biggest possible way
but anyway. There will be a lot of time
to talk about, I'm sure we're going to get lots of stuff out of James Webb, but
what I was going to tell you about today was a piece of news that came out of Florida
and might actually shed some light onto why maybe people are so crazy in Florida.
Oh, wait, we have the primordial ooze of Florida, man. Oh my gosh.
Yeah, it turns out that there's this giant African snail that has been found there
that shoots brain parasites into people.
What? Is that true?
It doesn't actually shoot brain, but it's more fun.
If it was a D&D, if this snail was a D&D monster,
it would definitely shoot it.
But it does give people brain parasites,
and it's a giant eight-inch-long snail.
You've probably seen pictures of it before.
Oh, is this the one we talked about on the show?
They were going to do...
Yeah.
Yeah, they like eat concrete.
Yeah.
And they were, or something like that, but they were going to, like, shut the city down or do a quarantine or something because of these snails.
They've done this before.
Yeah, this is the third time that they've attempted to eradicate this, or this is now going to be the third time that they've attempted to eradicate this snail from Florida.
And it's, it's a huge, it just looks like a snail, but it's gigantic.
Yeah, it's big, really big.
Yeah, and it's really, really cool looking because of that.
But it's considered one of the most invasive species of things that exists because it eats over 500 different plant species, including lots of crops and ornamental plants and stuff like that.
It just eats everything, and it eats a lot because it's huge.
It's a giant snail.
Does it really eat the concrete like Brian was saying?
I didn't read anything about that, but I mean, I wouldn't be surprised at this point.
Look at that thing.
goats and they're almost as big.
My gosh.
It's huge.
It's kind of cute.
Yeah, the snail's goat.
I mean, you think we could just cook them all up and eat them?
Wouldn't that be the solution?
Or they probably...
Well, you don't want to do that, and I will...
That's what it gets to the brain parasites.
Oh, gotcha.
All right.
But, yeah, it eats all sorts of fruits and vegetable crops and everything, and it's also
dangerous to people's health.
And it breeds, like, very prolifically.
It lays several thousand eggs over its multi-year lifespan in its...
Oh, these live for years?
Oh, my gosh, dude.
Yeah, yeah, very difficult to get rid of.
So this one was found, they've been found all over the place,
but this particular one that made the news was found on a property in Pascoe County, Florida, north of Tampa.
And when they found the one snail, the entire property,
was quarantined and shut down
and they've been putting snail-killing pesticides
all over the place
trying to kill this thing
because it's so invasive
and it transmits a parasite
called rat lungworm
and it's been a, it's a parasite
that can invade your central nervous system
and cause meningitis
and yeah
that's a joke
yeah it's a very dangerous
What's even more dangerous about it is that sometimes it'll infect people and do nothing, but then other times it'll just destroy people.
I'm literally killing some people.
There's lots of symptoms ranging from like just severe headaches to eye problems, nerve damage, paralysis, coma, death.
You're basically describing, you're making me wonder why Florida would be so quick to quarantine this and not another famous disease we've had lately that,
can also kill you some people
and cause other issues and other people
and yet they wouldn't quarantine for that.
I think that's weird.
Yeah, exactly.
This is probably a little bit harder
to transmit from person to person than COVID is,
but it can,
you can get it from,
because if this snail starts to,
not only is it going to destroy crops,
but the crops that it doesn't destroy
has the potential of putting this parasite all over it.
And then if it gets into your like salad or something,
Or on your grilled cheese, as you like to say.
What gross got out the most?
So is it?
It looks stinky.
Is it?
You think it's stinky?
I don't know.
I've never smelled one.
Because look at that thing.
You just know if you got up close on that, it would just reek.
Blah.
The science, so as disgusting as it is, I actually find the science of the parasites' life cycle pretty interesting.
So what happens?
They're called rat lung worms.
Yeah, that's wonderful.
As you might imagine, a lot of the information is already in the name.
They get into the lungs of rats, and they lay eggs in the lungs of rats.
Now, the way that that ends up affecting snails and then people is this long, interesting process.
So it's in the lungs of the rats, and then after the eggs in the lungs hatch, the larvae,
hopefully nobody's
finishing their breakfast or starting one
oh I think everybody's finished
their breakfast
yeah
yeah they're done now
you're good
because what happens is after the
the eggs hatched in the lungs
of the rats the rats
will cough them up
and but then
get into their throat and
mouth and then they get swallowed again
so it's
it gets the
the larva of these worms go from the lungs to
the stomach in that way.
And then they get pooped out.
So this is how they travel.
They get out of the rat.
Then snails like poop.
So they eat the rat poop.
That's how they get into the snails.
And then normally, the normal life cycle is then more rats come and eat the snails.
And then the cycle starts all over again.
It gets in the rat's stomach.
The adults get into the rat's stomach and then go up to the rat's brains where they,
They then breed and then lay eggs in the lungs and then it starts all over again, right?
Wow.
Life finds a way in this case.
You sure we can't just talk about space?
The problem with this process is rats are smaller, so it's easier for the worms to move around.
But when they get into human bodies, and if they get into the central nervous system,
in trying to go from place to place, they die before they make it.
and then it causes that that's what causes problems and meningitis in humans so so okay look we live
in a time where we can do all sorts of modern things why isn't it we can't just um i don't know
do these hide somewhere these snails are they are they really good at stealthing around how can we
can't just get them all going i mean that's what they're trying to do right but it's the eggs
they lay thousands and thousands of eggs the snails do and so you have to do they do and no one's
looking like they're like ah you suckers i'm laying eggs right now and
you know they're sneaking around following the snails and
waiting until that ideally you kill the snail before it lays any eggs but if you
missed any of the eggs then then more you know hatching and then so they are
trying to quarantine and they've gotten rid of them before I'm not sure how they
got back maybe through produce from another place this isn't the only time one of
these infestations have happened in Hawaii back in 2019
there were like a dozen confirmed cases over there
and several people died.
Dang.
Yeah, 2018, 2019, there was a CDC alert and warning
telling people, hey, you know, we're not saying
you can't go to Hawaii, but if you do,
you might want to watch out.
Yeah, don't go near snails.
Because this is happening over there?
So is this a tropical only kind of climate sort of thing,
problem?
Like Florida, you know.
I'm, I mean, I guess.
I didn't actually look at where all the snails are, but I mean, they're called African, giant African snails.
So over there, it's in like middle Africa, northern and middle Africa, and then over in, you know, we've got the ones in Florida and then in Hawaii.
So I'm guessing warm climates, yeah.
They like lots of leafy crops, so wherever those are growing.
So Phoenix, you're probably fine.
You're fine down there.
It's very dry there.
The snails would dry out.
Yeah, they'd just be a little...
Just salt the earth.
Yeah, that's the other question.
You can just salt it all, man.
That's how you get the snails.
That's what I was taught growing up is you just salt them.
Just get one of these bug assault guns, an entire army of people.
Just don't do as an art installation or else it's evil.
Pete will be all over you.
Yeah, that's right.
Well, that's super interesting.
I'm going to ask you a question now that you have to answer.
Okay.
Did you know all, most, I should say, spiders had eight eyes?
Did you know that?
Or were you like me?
I thought they all had eight eyes as well.
I thought it was part of their like, you know how a lot of creatures have these body plans
that follow sort of like a numerical symmetry all over the place, just like we have two of most things.
Sure.
But so, yeah, I thought, I also thought spiders all had eight eyes.
Yeah. I was born two, one testicle, two penises.
Wow.
I know.
It was a real, something got messed up on my paperwork.
So you do what you got.
Well, spiders have eight of all of them.
Uh, all right.
Well, this is fantastic stuff.
Um, so we will probably have more to say about James Webb and his cool microscope.
Uh, next time.
Telescope.
Telescope.
What's the difference really?
Yeah, really.
What is the difference between a telescope and a microscope?
Telescope, microscope, microscope.
Yeah, it's all scopes, right?
It's fine.
Anyway, we'll have more of that, I'm sure, coming up,
because, like you said,
they're just starting to pump this stuff out,
but it's very exciting.
The cool thing about these kinds of things
is that it gives us lots of things to talk about.
Yeah, and I think, you know,
as names of telescopes go,
Hubble named after a dude,
is a more fun word to say.
It's fun to say Hubble.
Oh, yeah.
When you say the web or even the full name, James,
that's boring.
We need somebody named.
like, I don't know, galoshes
or, you know,
like Galileo galoshes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Something cool.
Like, I don't know.
Name it after an ancient astronomer or something.
Do that.
Sure.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, so I don't know.
Bobby, if you can get that done for us, that'd be great.
All right.
I'll work on it.
I just put it on my to-do list.
Sounds good.
It's Bobby Frankenberger, everybody.
Tell us about your show all-around science
where people can get it and why they should listen.
Oh, yeah.
Well, we will, I'm sure,
mention the telescope on our next
episode of all
around science. That's our weekly
science show where we talk about
science news and just
things that we find interesting
going on in the world of science.
Yesterday's episode that just came out, we
talked all about colorblind vision
was inspired by a
fellow tadpuler
and A&P contestant
who listens to the show,
September McCready.
Oh, cool.
Yep, she was
asking about
her child
who's colorblind
and on our discord
and so
Mora thought
let's do a whole feature
on colorblind vision
and talk about how colorblindness works
so that episode came out yesterday
it's really fascinating
how it's much more complicated
than even I thought
okay well look at that
getting deeper every week
there on the all around science
well fantastic
Bobby have a great week
and the mean
time, and may all your spiders have eight eyes.
Yours too.
By now.
All the better to see you with.
All the better.
All the better. All right.
Hey, everybody.
It's time for a quick little email moment.
Send and receive email.
The morning stream at gmail.com.
Here's one from Brett.
He's not really in the tadpole, but when he is, it's Sny Walker.
I like that.
It's also Snywalker on Twitter.
Snye Walker.
He says, hello, Scott and Brian.
I was wondering if it would be cool to get a podcast.
plug on the show for my store's charitable effort. I had the idea of making soccer jerseys
based on pop culture entities and the first one was based on the Green Power Ranger. It has some
references sprinkled throughout the design without being as in your face as the nerd fandom
T found at Target. We have a, sorry, we have a small quantity remaining in select sizes and not only
is it on sale, but I'm donating all the remaining sales to no kid, no kid hungry.org.
uh thank you and love the show though uh brett so this is pretty rad it's really cool yeah i didn't
realize it was a it was it's a whole like like soccer jersey i mean i always said that but it's like
uh you know it's not just a green soccer jersey with power rangers it's like it looks like
if you didn't know better you'd say this is just a team logo right yeah yeah yeah i like that
because then you don't have to over explain yourself to people who don't get the reference
but then people who do get it and that's all you need um
You can go find this over at, let's see,
giltedgoose.com.
There it is.
Guiltedgoose.com and then just go to the shop and you'll run into it.
Pretty awesome.
Oh, yeah, look at this.
Is this you, Brett, in this photo, I wonder?
Might be, yeah.
It's a glorious beard, if that's the case, man.
Anyway, it's all for a good cause.
So go over there and help them out.
If you're not familiar with it, you can check out the charity,
which is no kidhungry.org.
Always have you.
You get to Guilted Goose and you can't find to do a search for Angel Grove and that should take you to the shop.
Yeah, that'll get you there.
All right.
I think that's everything.
I wanted to tell you that we got some upcoming shows today at 330 Mountain Time.
Play Retro has a brand new show where me and Brian Dunaway discuss all things old video games.

Brian, anything else you got going today?
I want to mention?
No, nothing else for me.
It's a workday, so, oh, and Puzzle Pint tonight, sadly they cancel the in-person bar thing because of variant B-A-5, so we're just having the moors over.
We're going to do Puzzle Pint here and pour Pints and do puzzles to do their puzzles.
You can get them online at Puzzlepint.com.
Oh, they're not doing like a stream thing?
You just have to.
No, no, you just go to the site, you download it's a PDF, you print it out, you do the puzzles, so.
The BA5 thing needs to chill.
Hospitalizations are up, man.
I don't like it.
And I really would wish that to stop.
Okay?
I know I don't have a lot of sway with this virus, but...
Yeah, make it stop.
Slow your role, BA5.
All right.
That's it for the show.
I want to thank brand or not a brand new patron.
We didn't get one yesterday.
So get in there, everybody.
We need new people.
Instead, I'm going to talk about an old one from way back.
Who's still with us joined in 2014.
Jamie Snell, Jamie, thanks for being a long timer.
We appreciate it.
That's awesome.
Patreon.com slash TMS for details.
And again, that's where you'll find the freshest of details
when it comes to what we're going to try with our couch party this weekend.
So go check that out.
And a little sneaky thanks goes out to, who was I going to think?
I was going to thank somebody.
Oh, I was going to thank wicked kitten.
Monica for, she's going to help kind of facilitate anybody who doesn't understand how that works,
like how the Patreon part works
and she's very good of that stuff.
So preemptive thanks to her
because I have a feeling I'll be sending
some people her direction who don't get it.
Cool. All right, frogpins.com
slash TMS for everything else.
It's patreon.com slash TMS for that.
And if you'd like to email us again,
the morning stream at gmail.com.
That'll do it for us.
Hey, Brian.
How about a song from Brian?
Well, sure.
We mentioned Carrie Fisher earlier.
Happy on birthday to Carrie Fisher.
But also, happy birthday to Gary Fisher, who says,
Shine on You Crazy Diamond, or anything appropriate for someone who's written around this rock,
ridden this rock around the sun, 73 times.
Love the show, though, Senior Geek.
73, amazing.
73, man.
So, so good.
I get to hopefully see him at the beginning of September when we go to Anaheim.
So looking forward to that.
Shine on You Crazy Diamond.
and I've played a few covers of that song on here on the show.
But this is another great one.
This is a really cool stripped-down acoustic version
where you can really hear the lyrics and the emotion for Sid Barrett.
This is Ricardo Lolly from the tribute from 2018 called Echoes of Secrets.
Here is, shine on, you crazy diamond.
Fantastic.
We'll see you tomorrow for the usual Wednesday business.
We'll see you then.
But when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes like black holes in the sky.
shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught in the crossfire
Of childhood and start of blown under steel breeze
Come on your target
For far away laughter
Come on you stranger
You legend
You martyr and shine
You reached for the secret too soon.
You cried for the moon.
Shine on your craze a diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night.
Exposal light
Shine on you
crazy diamond
Where you are
You will come
With rat down precision
Road under steel
breeze
Come on you raveon
Zero visions
Come on
You painter
You piper
You brisler
And shine
Nobody knows where you are
How near or how far
Shine on you crazy diamond
pile of many more layers
and I'll be joining you there
Shine on you, you crazy diamonds
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph saying on the steel breeze
Come on a boy child
You winner and loser
Come on
You mind of the truth
And illusion
And shine
