Three, the Morning Stream? I work hard all day. And after doing a man's work, I want a man's cigarette. None of them puny, funny boy, kind neither. That's why I smoke the big cigarette for the big man. Are you boys here to look at the refrigerator? The morning stream is part of a nutritious breakfast kids have grown to love. They're pretty good, I guess. Yeah, they're okay.

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It's Tuesday, July 26, 2020. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Hi. Hello, Scott Johnson. Brian is one day away from going to Las Vegas, Nevada. Exactly 24 hours from boarding time, as a matter of fact. What will you, okay, I'm going to go ahead and make a. assumption here. So Brian is... What time will I have my first alcoholic beverage tomorrow? No, that could be

that's anyone's guess. I have no idea. But if I'm guessing what Brian is doing as he sits out in the chairs waiting for the first call, you'll be playing Marvel Snap and enjoying some sort of breakfast item. That's my thing. Certainly the former,

probably, I don't know about the latter. I'll probably have already I'll probably have already, well, definitely will have already had breakfast by that point. The question is, well, I eat something here at the house, or will I grab something at the airport where it's, it's all unfamiliar territory, you know, new places to get crappy breakfast foods? That's right. You never know, I've had, okay, so I've only had food poisoning, I think, a couple of times in my life. One was at an airport, and it was on the way home. We got something, and then later I got, like, really sick on whatever I ate.

Um, I'm not saying that's common, but I am saying, because of that, I've got this thing in my head where airports are sketchy. They're just sketchy. Right. 50% of the food that you get at airports gives you, gives you food poisoning. That's what I've gone ahead and, uh, yeah, I went ahead and did the math and it all, it all checks out. Uh, but, but, but yeah, like, I'm always just a little like, hmm, who's going to be the right choice here? Even though there are different restaurants, the restaurant you, you had food at probably isn't around anymore. I don't know how long ago this happened.

I don't know what it was. Yeah, I don't remember. This was forever ago, like 20 years ago or something. We have some great restaurants in DIA. There's Root Down. There's, um, the Root Down is like a farm to table kind of, uh, vegetarian and vegan place. But they make some incredible stuff that's like, I, you know what? I don't care that there's no meat in it.

It is fantastic. Oh, yeah. No, done right. That stuff is incredible. I would eat that every day if everybody did it, right? Chop House has a location in that. the Denver airport. A couple of the local breweries have restaurants in some of the,

in a couple of the concourses. Yeah, I mean, I have no, you know, I have no qualms about eating at the airport. That's good. And I've eaten at a lot of airports. Now, okay, here's a statistic I actually think is high. Three times my wife was in, and some people are going to say, well, maybe it's Kim's fault and whatever, we'll get to it. But three times she's in different places.

usually down south somewhere so she'll be like in the Houston airport or should be in Mississippi or whatever three different times somebody there where she went to get something like oh just get some fries or something or I'll get a drink somebody scans her card with one of those little sneaky scanners really is a little yeah and then I get notified oh someone bought a 65 inch flat screen television in Texas do you know is that you and I'm like no it isn't freaking me and then we have to cancel the cards it's ever happened to you, right? We're at, oh no, because you've had it happen at a restaurant or something. We have, yeah. We also, we also happened at BlizzCon in 2014, I think. And we couldn't use any of our

regular cards that week, so we had used, like, debit cards. And so it was fine, but, you know, worked out in the end, but it was so annoying. The problem is that when you're, when you're out at these things and somebody recognizes you, you do this sort of thing. Oh, hey, can I get a picture with you, Scott? Oh, yeah, sure. Yep. And then you, you hold up your, you hold up your, my credit card. For people not watching the stream, you're holding up your card while you're taking picture. Yeah, I don't do any pictures without my credit card held up.

I want them to see that I have spending power. You know what I mean? I want them to go, oh, he's got a American Express. Oh, American Express, Green card. Ooh. Yeah. Then they steal it and go buy a TV. That's how it works.

Right, exactly. So it always happens. So I got a question for all the mail carriers in our listening audience. I actually know there are a few, so hopefully they'll write in about this. Or maybe some people are familiar with how municipal systems work when it comes to male issues. And I don't mean male like man in their erectile dysfunction. Oh, not people who carry men around. No.

Not those kind of male carriers. Yeah, not those issues. So yesterday, I had a thing that I was already mad because on Sunday, they were supposed to deliver this little router I needed with my switch around with hard drives and stuff. and um they sent me the wrong or they they said attempted delivery couldn't do it i'm like what does that mean four o'clock in the afternoon attempted delivery i go and look at the detail says yeah i couldn't park very well so i'll try tomorrow was basically what the guy wrote seriously like i'm like i had to walk too far to get to your mailbox yeah and literally what that meant was across my street he would have had to parked get out walk it across the street

now i'm not i'm not one of those people it's just like, you know, I'm not going to demand to talk to your manager, but that felt pretty weak because they're always having to park there. That's incredibly weak. Yeah, that's, you're not being a Karen by being a little irritated by that. Yes, thank you. Validation is what I was looking for. So, yeah, as a result. Sorry, Karen's in the audience. Yeah, sorry all you Karen's. Actual Karen's and otherwise. Actually, Karen's, not. Yeah, not the ones we all have vilified. Yeah. Anyway, so he comes, he decides to come the next day and he brings it, but then he doesn't bring it to the door, even though this is the kind of UPS package I would expect to have at the door.

instead it says left in receptacle which means they put it in the mailbox stuff which we have a grid of for the neighborhood you know where I'm at sure and so all the townhomes on the off side of the street and then us and the houses across that way we're all using the same grid of you know these boxes so I go over there ours is normally box six I have the key I open it up and in there's some junk mail and some other stuff and I'm like sweet okay there's a key in there and when they do that that means oh the box was too big so it's in one of these larger ones The larger receptacles. Oh, that's a clever. That's a good way of doing. Yeah, totally works fine. Usually it's zero problem. I get it. I look at the key.

It says 6B. Okay, cool. Where's 6B? Oh, there it is. And I try to put the key in. No dice. It's not working. It just won't go in.

It looks like somebody has like crammed a screwdriver into this thing or something. So I'm like, oh, well, this won't open. And by the way, I'm out my bare feet in 90 degree weather like an idiot. So my feet hurt. And so I'm trying to turn it. I'm like, well, wait, maybe this is just the key to a different box. I put it in all the other boxes, four, five, and seven, or, for some reason, there's no one, two, and three. I don't know why.

Okay. Maybe on the other, in another. Oh, yeah, probably that. Another grid, another box grid. That's a good point. I think of that. But anyway, so I try those, and it fits. It doesn't unlock them, of course.

It doesn't turn, but fits. Right. So, yeah, there's something jammed in there. Yeah, so it's effed. Which, wait a minute. Yeah. Wouldn't the mail carrier have to put something in to unlock that box to put your box in, and then put a key, probably from inside there.

Yeah. That's exactly my thought. I thought the exact thing, Brian. And so I was compound irritated because the day before he was supposed to bring in it, tried it, didn't try very hard, and then had it weighed a day. So I was already annoyed by that. I'm like, really, of all the boxes here, you chose the one that won't open. And then my brain did like yours just did.

Wait, didn't he have to have a key to get in it in the first place? No, they have a master key, apparently, that opens all the boxes probably from the back. Oh, from the rear? From the back, yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. Okay, if that's the case, that makes sense. Yeah. What do they tell you to do with that key?

Like, let's say it did work, you opened it, you get your router out, and bobs your uncle. What do you do with the key? Do you just leave it in the front? Yes, and it stays. Once you've turned it, it doesn't come back out. It doesn't come back out. Unless they come, just do whatever they do. Unless they push a little bit.

I got you. Okay. Oh, interesting. So that makes sense. And maybe what happened here, some kids saw a key dangling and went, oh, if I get this key out, I can use it later when there's a box in there. and then jammed it, you know, wrecked it or something. I don't know.

But however you got it in there, so here's what's weird. I'm getting real frustrated. I'm like, gosh, what can you do? I don't even know who I call. I got multiple boxes in this thing. I'm freaking so irritated. And then I just, for the heck of it, took that same key and kind of pried the bottom of the door.

And it just popped open. It's not how that's supposed to work, is it? No, that's definitely not. That seems like, like, yay, what a salute? Oh, that's kind of bad. Yeah, that's actually bad. It's actually really bad. And there were stuff in there that had somebody come and taken.

It would have been real bad. So I took it, you know, my non, my discreet brown non-labeled packaging. Your brown paper wrapper magazines. Yeah. Just kidding. None of that was in there. Anyway, I get these things, including my router out of there. And I just thought, okay, well, that was dumb on every level.

And I don't know who to talk to. Do I wait for a male person? Because I don't think the EPS guy normally uses that thing. Do I, do I call somebody? I don't know what to do. Yeah, I almost think you, your homeowners association, possibly, or, or sadly, you've got to call back, call USPS. Maybe I do that. I think I don't, I'd be surprised if your homeowners association has a master key.

Obviously, the post office certainly would. You'd think so. I would assume so. I don't know. And then I thought, well, maybe today I'll, because they always come around 1 PM, maybe I'll just have an alarm at about 12, 50 to just remind me to go out there and just see, you know, if someone pulls up, hey, real quick, I was curious, this thing was, you know, I'll explain the story to them and see if they'll do anything. I don't know. But freaking UPS, bring it to my door like you always do. I got treats and snacks there, got drinks for you. Yeah, Kim will make you a pie. Yeah, you want a pie? We'll make your pie? You want some jambalaya? Got a whole bowl here, hot and fresh for you.

Freaking, I was so annoyed. But it came, it's here, it's working, everything's fine. My hard drives are backing up beautifully. Oh, quick shout-out. I know I talked to you about this, but I'm going to mention it to anyone out there who might be using Macs. You might all think, oh, the only way to do anything is time machine with backups. Incorrect. I didn't know about this utility.

Brian, I guess you used it for years. I didn't even know. Oh, my God. Yeah, I've been using it. Like, the first copy I ever bought, or when I got in their ecosystem, was in the 90s when I was at media marketing. Oh, wow. That's a long time. That's a deep, yeah, it's a long time.

Or whenever it was I could first download it, because I don't think I ever got discs from them. So maybe it was 2000s, but still, it's been a while. Well, it's called Carbon Copy Cleaner. Sorry, cloner. Cloner. CCC for sure. Cleaning your carbon copies. I'm always cleaning your carbon.

It does everything that a time machine does now, but with a whole bunch of other options for just, you want to clone a drive, do that. You want to do another kind of daily maintenance run on a drive. You can do that. You want to do a time machine style backup where you're like, show me the incremental changes and let me go back a few days and get the old file,

that stuff, you can do that. It's awesome. And it was only $39 and I'm freaking loving it. Guess what I don't use anymore? Time machine! because it irritated me with that last drive problem. Yeah, I guess so. Like, you were having, it was just hanging, right?

That was horrible. And it's the drive. It's not time machine's fault. But I'm also happy just to find something that has a few more options to it. So it's pretty cool. Sure. Sure. No, it's really good.

We used to use it all the time for our work computers to, because we'd always get these performas for the training system or the training room. And we'd have a. Master ISO copy, and it would basically just be the fresh, untampered with version of the systems that need to go on all those computers. So we basically just used carbon copy cloner to set all those up. Yeah. Chatroom says, it reminds me that it was good that they didn't spell everything with a K. Because that would KKK. For sure, yes. We don't want that. That's a real smart move they made there.

Hey, we talked about bees, some. Bees, bees. Oh, before we get to bees, can I do a shot? I should put it in the notes. But, so you remember a while back we were talking about a couple, a couple of listeners, but a couple who were driving around the U.S. in there with their tiny house. Oh, yeah, right. Right, their little micro-house. YouTube.

Yeah, yeah. They came through Colorado yesterday, and Tina and I had dinner and drive. drinks with them and Matt and Logan and um you do it in the tiny house thing or did you do it as you guys go somewhere what'd you do you didn't do it in the tiny house well here's the deal they don't have the tiny house anymore they um that thing was just too unwieldy to maneuver around and a lot of places that they went um uh to park wouldn't take tiny houses they're fine with campers but not tiny houses it's really weird especially California so now they're have an airstream and basically they scale down their whole life down to the tiny house and then

they scale down the tiny house just a little bit more a little bit further down to the um the air stream and uh but they they didn't bring the air stream but they showed us photos actually had photos two of the tiny house as well and it's um it is so it's so cool in there and the tiny house is really freaking rad too like that stuff's awesome was the tiny house like a container converted or something or is it no no but it was probably about the width and height of a container but about you know half the length or two-thirds the length or something but they are um they're the nicest couple um she does cardiology work so so she's able to find hospitals that need somebody for a three month a three-month stint oh stint um and so they basically can go wherever they

want in the country and she'll work there for three months then they'll be like great this was a cool place let's go somewhere else and that's what they do it and that is like that life sounds so freeing and cool to me but i look at this house and i look at all the shit in it and i think what would it take oh i know like stripped down to uh just the the bare essentials of of life what would i need i guess that's probably going to get edited out for jamie but the you know like get rid of how much stuff would i have to get rid of for us to be able to do that we've talked about the same freaking thing a few times kim and i i don't know how i i mean i'm just not in the right brain space right now to do it but right i love the idea of it always have

yeah yeah just an amazing concept it's it does sound like you're just free of everything like you don't need to put down roots anywhere just just go but i'm also kind of a put down roots kind of guy so yeah so it's hard for me to actually imagine it um i don't know if you're i I guess if you're younger, in my 20s, had this been an option, we'd have done this. Yeah. See, what I'd almost like to do, and this is probably something we could do, is do basically have the studio and everything down here where it is, blah, blah, blah, you know, and kind of have it all set up the way it is right now. Yeah. Then have a lock on the basement door where the living area upstairs completely, you know, it's a couple bedrooms, kitchen,

blah, blah, blah, blah. And then we figure out people who have cool houses in places that we want to visit. And we trade for a month. And so, you know, I take my laptop and microphone mixer and all that stuff and the stuff that we need. And we technically move to another house for a month somewhere on the other side of the country while those people live in our house for a month. Sure. And then, you know, this is the kind of swapping I'm into, you know. That's exactly. I definitely swing this direction. you know right this idea interesting oh god i meant to tell you so uh heard from some people about the conversation yesterday i was talking about dropping that couple off at the uh swingers

club oh right in south denver yeah the one that has good food i guess or whatever that has a good restaurant yeah um they sent me a video of the inside of one of those clubs like a tour of one of those clubs and my it's just fascinating like there's there's a whole there's so many protocols for what you can do, where you can do it, how you indicate to other people, what you're fine with them doing or not doing. They've got like, you know, this open area. This is where you kind of meet people and maybe figure out who you want to go and mess around with for a little bit.

And then there's this other section that is for couples and singles, apparently singles, can go to one of these places as well. It's like, oh. Oh, so you don't have to swing with another couple. You could go in there and it could be you and some. You go in there as a free agent and basically, you know. Oh, man. Like, uh, any, any teams looking for a new batter?

Who's looking for a new batter? Which would do they have like a, they have like a month free and then decide if you want to stay kind of thing? Or how does it all that work? Free trials, seven, seven day free trial period. But then they, so they've got these little rooms. So they've got the, the room that's got all of these smaller rooms in it. And each of those rooms has a elaborate. curtain system that has what looks like a screen sewn together with a blackout curtain.

And so if you want to mess around, you want everybody to watch, you'll leave the curtains wide open. I think that also might be a invitation for anybody who wants to jump in. Then you've got the semi-private, which is like a screen curtain that you put over it. And it's like, oh, what did that indicate? I think that just indicates, join us if you want and then you've got the blackout curtain which is like nope what's going on here is for us only and sorry and blah blah blah do they have do they have watch is closed no uh you can watch but you can't join are there any people that come in that are just watchers you know oh i'm sure i'm sure totally yeah those people give me the willies i don't know why i don't know why

the whole place would get me right i mean i guess everybody's got there everybody's got their thing you know maybe no i've no problem i mean they can do whatever they want but if i was in there I would be like, what's that guy just standing? I don't want the staring guy. You're right, exactly. Yeah. Hey, buddy, move along. Move along.

Yeah, and then there's a whole different set of rooms where it's couples, couples and other couples only. You can't go in there as a free agent. You have to, you must have a partner, wife, girlfriend, husband, whatever to attend. Yeah. This is so out of my zone. Oh, mine too. I was watching this going.

Yeah, yeah, can never do it. Yeah, that's interesting. Could never do it. Could never do it. That's cool. But it'll look, you know, well, nicely, nicely clean and, you know, like a nice place. Yeah, look really nice, clean, you know, well-maintained. They have protocols that show when a, so they have people who come in, anytime any of those beds or those couches or any of those rooms are used, there's like a little indicator.

It's a pillow that you put in a certain. place or basically move from a certain place to indicate that the room has been used and somebody swoops in there and cleans the hell out of that room and then puts the pillow back in the place that indicates, yep, this room has been sanitized. Wow. Big rolls of towels next, like rolled up towels next to each room. Like, okay, now I'm having to visualize why you need a towel. Yeah, like I feel like it's, you know, ejaculation.

nation in there and you'd have to you'd have to really you know you'd have the night crew come in and really hose the place down I don't know that's right no black lights allowed in these clubs by the way the light would be blinding yeah that's weird

all right well that's interesting somebody sent you that or somebody sent me a link to the to the tour do you want me forward it on to you? Yeah I actually kind of am curious because it yeah I'm curious for sure I want to see what these I'm I'm never going to be in one so

Of course. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's... I want to know what's up. I assume this was like a tour when no one's around. No one's doing anything. Yes, yeah, the place was empty. And so somebody just giving a tour. You think a big Vincentinoffrio-looking guy with a shirt way down to his belly and his freaking gold chains owns the place? Like, I'm picturing who owns. You're picturing. I know exactly who you're picturing. You're picturing, what's his face? We got who ran the bunny ranch and died. Yeah, though he was in that reality show they had for a while.

Yes, yes. I don't remember his name. I actually saw his deathbed. Ew. Because it was at that Zach Baggins, or Zach Baggins, I guess Zach Baggins would be a hobbit. Zach Begans' hunted tour in Vegas with Tanner and Alex. This is Frodo.

This is Bilbo. That's right. Exactly, yes. That guy's Zach over there. Zach, the ugly, ugly. cousin. That's amazing. All right. I will check that out after the show. Not Hugh Heffner. Now, Hoff, yes.

Dennis Hoff. Dennis Hoff. Yeah, it was shortened for something shortened. But anyway, yeah, that's who I'm visualizing as kind of the person who runs like this. From the grave, probably. From the grave. And no, Claire. This will never be a mystery date ever, ever. No, no. I mean, you know,

at the very least, I don't even trust hotels. The mystery would be how long Tina stays with me after I take her. Exactly. I don't trust even the way the hotels are cleaned. I can't imagine I would trust this anyway. You know? You'd have to really show me your protocols for me to get down with it.

Yeah, if you see them in person, I want to see the person who cleans the room and I want to watch how they clean the room, please. Yeah, and even then I'll just watch old Guy Fierry reruns with somebody in a room. I'm not even interested. I don't want to go in there for what people go. I want to eat the food. and see if that's any good, unless they prepare it naked or something, you know? Yeah. Like, because there's a, there's a strip club downtown called.

I recommend you stay away from the clam chowder, sir. There's a, there's a strip club in downtown Salt Lake City called the, oh, shoot, I forgot the name of it. Southern Exposure, that's the name. Okay. All right. Their logo is an upside down triangle. You get the idea. Anyway.

Oh, wow. So, uh, we went in there once for lunch. we'll fully work because because someone said they had amazing chicken salad sandwiches there and so we went in there to get them and then while we were there the guy I was with

goes Chuck is his name goes you think they make this like their strippers back there they're like naked making these yeah like thanks a lot dude I don't need to hear that I don't want to eat this sandwich now I'm sure it's like hey what do you say we just make these chicken salad sandwiches naked oh sounds great that's right and then we'll dress up again and then go strip all that off again,

and then make more sandwiches. Then we'll pull our clothes back on and take the chicken sandwiches out. Yep. So dumb. So dumb. All right, bees. On the subject of bees.

Please, let's talk bees. Bees. These are emails. Send and receive email. One of these is from Jason from British Columbia, Canada. Canada! And he says,

Hey, Sting, and B. Okay, so I'm the thing coming out of your butt and you die when I can. Think of that. Yeah. That's what I thought of. says, I was listening to TMS 2322, and you were talking about bees. I work for a honey producer in Canada, and I do find that in particular, honey bees are attracted to the color yellow.

We have a big yellow specialized for beekeeping used to move hives around, and any time I get in the forklift to drive around, all the bees are swarming me. Sometimes in the warm weather, you can have thousands of them flying around your head. It could be a little scary, or it could be a little scary, but as long as you don't mess with them, they won't mess with you love the show though jason well that's interesting um yeah the color thing so yeah i guess if the bees like to look at the stars and see how they shine for you and all the things you do i mean i just all i know is i grew up with that if it was an old wives tale then that's what i grew up with or if it's true whatever but they always said if you wear bright

colors especially yellow you're going to attract bees and so i say jason is an expert and uh uh listen he he's around bees all the time if yellow attracts them he wouldn't he would be the person to know absolutely there you go uh follow up about bees from crucifudge it's an amazing he's an a i for life he says uh dear or high sting and buzz so now your buzz oh look at that wow you know i'm i'm singer songwriter sting you are buzz light here uh to infinity and roxan space ranger buzz layer. As a budding beekeeper, I've been stung a few times in the past few years. Although I'm not allergic, bee venom will still make a sting uncomfortable beyond the initial stinging, including itching and swelling. It's giving me a new appreciation for those with, for those notorious buttholes, yellow jackets. Oh, no kidding.

They are notorious buttholes. Honeybee can only sting you once since doing so usually kills them. On the other hand, a jackass yellow jacket will keep on stinging you until its malicious heart, or to its malicious heart's content. The good part is there's no venom. Once you get stung, there's no swelling or anything. It just sucks, and then it's done. So the next time you get stung by a yellow jagga,

thank your lucky stars, and think of the time I had to drop my pants because a honeybee had flown up my pants leg and was buzzing around my junk. Good luck. Crucifuge. Well, Crucifuge, when I was a little kid, this happened to me where a bee, I assume it was a bee. I was eight.

I was on a green machine. Remember those? Oh, I totally remember those. I had one, and at some point, I think it needs to be a Wendy, a Wendy story. Yeah, we should, we should figure out why our beloved, why we were so obsessed with green machines. Oh, no, there's, it goes even further than that, but please continue to tell me about your green machine. There's a story, is there? Yeah, there's a story.

Well, I'm on the green machine. I'm like eight, and I get stung. I freak out and run in the house. My mom takes off my shirt. It turns out it was on my back shoulder where the bee had gone. gotten up in my shirt. So she's like, oh, well, it looks like you're okay. And I didn't, you know, I'm not allergic or anything. And takes my shirt off, bangs it out, never did see the bee, puts my shirt back on, go outside of the green machine, not five

minutes later. Three more stings. The bee never left the shirt. Was always in the shirt the whole time. I don't know how it kept stinging. And it never, oh, that was the other thing. She didn't find it. Was it a bee? Like it wasn't a, uh, wasn't a yellowjack if it kept stinging you? Well, good point. I don't actually remember for sure. She said B, and we thought, and by the third or fourth sting, the b, or the stinger was actually there. But previous to that, we couldn't see it. So I don't know if that means anything. If it came out of, I guess, a yellow jacket could still lose there.

So bees also have, I wonder if bees can bite. You know, I mean, could you get bitten? And then finally is like, ah, screw it. I'm just going to sting. I know I'm going to die, but I just got to sting this jerk. Yeah. One bit and twice stung, as the old phrase goes. I don't know.

But I remember being, I remember hating that. And for the rest of my life now, I still to this day, I see a bee. And I'm like, uh, stay over there. Like, I just get really freaked out about these. Well, anyway, all you guys in your awesome bee stories, thank you for writing those in. We appreciate them. No kidding. Oh, I think.

And then Rett Law 7 threw photos of the green machine into the chat or through a link to photos of the green machine. Yeah, basically, it was like a big wheel. but instead of having, instead of you turning the front wheel with a handlebars, with a set of handlebars, you had two levers and basically it operated like, you pull one lever back, push the other one forward, and you turn left. You push the other one back and you turn right. Like you basically operated it just like that. It was awesome.

The front wheel stayed put. It was the back wheels that would change direction based on those levers. Yep. And everybody wanted one. It was the most like sought after gift that year. It's all anybody wanted if you're that, if a kid of a certain age. Yeah, I mean, the story that, you know, maybe needs to come out with Wendy is that I, when we lived in an apartment, I had one of these. I begged for it, finally got it for Christmas from my dad, but we didn't have a place to put it inside the apartment.

I don't know why. What a fit just fine. Or my mom didn't want me to bring the apartment or something like that. And so, you know, a lot of kids had bicycles and tricycles like sitting outside their door. funny because you wouldn't think about doing that now, but back then, they usually didn't get messed with. But because these things were so sought after and idolized by other kids, one day I came out and my green machine was gone. And then later on, that same day, I saw it in the apartment dumpster like, like wrecked. Like, in other words, these other kids,

whoever did it, we're so jealous that I had one. It wasn't that they wanted to take it and steal it and have it themselves. They wanted to destroy it so I didn't have it. And that I think has been something that stuck with me my whole life about like

protecting my stuff and being very paranoid about leaving anything where somebody could get it. Oh wow. You locked in on that. That's interesting. I did. That was a very that like I can remember the way I felt when I rounded the corner and saw the

and saw the green machine sitting in the dumpster busted out. It's like when people come home and their house has been not just burgled but kind of like direct inside. Yeah, exactly. Like vandalized. Yeah. Complete violation of what you thought was sort of sacred, you know.

All I know is they let you spin out real good. I remember that. They did. That was the best thing about that. Having the back wheels be the things that turned basically meant that you could. So I guess how, what were the breaks on that thing. Was it just the reverse, you like went in reverse with the pedals really quick? Oh, I don't remember. I think, I think yes. And you could, you could use that to your like

spin ability as well. So you could like stop without, but you'd kind of turn around. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then turn the level, pull the levers. The video I just watched, these kids are all wearing helmets. We did not do that. No way. Really? Oh my gosh. Yeah. Definitely no. None of those in our green machine life. Yeah, man. It was like the late seven. these early 80s we didn't not even on bikes not even on skateboards i didn't have a helmet until i became an adult and got a bike and like oh you have to wear these now okay yeah and most most motorcycle people i knew back then didn't wear them and also a lot of more a lot more people probably died as a result yeah yeah so that's kind of why that happened um all right well that was all good and

well yeah from green machines to a little bit of news good morning good morning everybody in the news this morning good morning it's time for the news brought to you by To you buy chord killers, yeah, we're going to talk about a show that features two people who aren't on this show today. Tom Merritt and Brian Brushwood and, of course, Bryce, who is way more like the last time I was on there, Bryce barely, you know, said anything on the show. This time last night, he was on there a lot, which is great. I love Bryce. Yeah, he's great. Yeah, last night we talked all about the new MCU phases 4, 5, and 6.

We talked about a whole bunch of Netflix stuff with their cordial. earnings and and their firm stance on no, we're not going to go to the week-by-week delivery of shows, but, you know, we still want to give everybody the chance to binge everything as soon as day one. Anyway, I was on the show last night. It was a lot of fun. Go check out Cord Killers wherever you get your Court Killer podcasts. Yes, the Cord Killer podcast, available wherever Cord Killers happens.

Exactly. Martha Stewart in the news. Yeah. Oh, that's good. Back in jail. Just a good thing. Just kidding. She's not back in jail.

A coyote attacked her ranch thing she's got and killed six of her peacocks. All right? These are peacock, not the pluses. Owning six peacocks, or owning however many peacocks she has, six less now, but I don't know how many she has total. Yeah. Isn't that just like a, I have a lot of money. they're not companions. She's not like

oh yeah these are the peacocks that I hang out with day in and day out and we cuddle by the fire or they sit on my lap or whatever. That's just like a I have a lot of money. I want peacocks. Yeah, I'm going to get a peacock. And then, you know, Peacock Plus if I'm

really feeling like not watching commercials, you get that. Ah, nice. The coyote killed six of these damn things. Let's see. These were, I guess she shows them on Instagram a lot. So that's Oh, really? Oh, okay. So, well, that that proves or that, you know,

disproves my point about her wanting to show off how rich she is to have a bunch of peacocks. Exactly. If anything, it enhances your point of view, I think. Yeah, exactly. It was a brazen daylight attack. The lifestyle Maven confirmed Saturday via social media.

Rest in peace, beautiful blue boy, she says. The coyotes came in broad daylight and devoured him and five others, including the magnificent white boy. Helmsway did this in a radar voice. Like, he just walked into surgery, pulled down his mask and said,

The coyotes came in broad daylight and devoured him and five others, including the magnificent white boy. There were no survivors. Oh, man. Ask your parents, I guess, for some of you. Yeah. I haven't watched MASH.

It's an amazing moment. Anyway, let's see. any solutions for getting rid of six large aggressive coyotes who have expensive taste when it comes to poultry she says oh thanks oh thanks martha stewart thanks martha stewart thanks martha stewart yeah maybe maybe get cheaper birds cheaper birds cheaper birds that don't taste as good I love that can I reply to our Instagram right now and say maybe buy cheaper birds that don't

taste as good yeah there you go I like that one Salon confirmed that the attack occurred on her Bedford Estate in Winchester, or Westchester County, New York. It's fancy business up there. Yeah. The video clip is accompanied by Marvin Gaze. Let's Get It On, according to the today report. Yeah, when I first saw this article, and I just scanned it because it was like,

oh, what do we get be talking about today? I honestly thought that she had video of the peacocks getting eaten by the coyotes. And the video was set to, let's get it on. And I really wish that was the thing, right? Why doesn't she have, like, I don't know how many acres she has, but it's probably big enough that these things can't be watched all the time, right? Like, you can't keep your eye on every peacock. I don't know.

I mean, if you can afford peacocks, you can afford security or a big fence or something. Yeah, I kind of feel like she. Be on the lookout for six coyotes with giant feathers sticking out of their mouths. My experience of peacocks is They're kind of jerks Never really ran into one that was like nice Like the ones at the zoo They all kind of walk around

You're like oh look at this You get close to it And it's like bra And like hisses at you No you can hear them when you're at the zoo Making those I hate it Yeah

F peacocks He had to look out for six coyotes Who howl like this Bung Bung Bung It's an unusual howl, but you'll know it when you hear it. Easy to spot them.

Oh, yeah, Snoop Dog should go over and help her. There are pals. There you go. Why isn't Snoop Dog watching her place when she's out? A brazen daylight attack. She'd say, what should I do, Snoop? And he'll say, smoke weed every day. Doctors in Egypt have extracted a mobile phone from a patient's stomach.

Mmm, tasty. They removed a mobile phone from the stomach of a patient who swallowed the device several months ago, since it's been in there for a while. I knew a lady who swallowed a phone. I don't know why she swallowed a phone. Perhaps she's don't. I guess she's boned. Like that. That's probably the better one, yeah.

As Juan University Hospital admitted the patient on Friday after suffering severe abdominal pain. I wonder if you told them right away. Well, I did swallow a phone two months ago. It seems, yeah. Why would you wait multiple buds? Ah, you know what? Now I'm having stomach aches. Yeah, weird.

Weird. Don't feel great. Feel these vibrations every once in a while. I wonder how the battery did. I don't think it's like a full-on like smart phone. I think it's like a little flippy bird phone. It would have to be, right? Yeah, like more like a no-ka.

I could probably swallow. We had a, God, what was it called? When Tristan was young, we, before cell phones were as prevalent as they are now, we had a little phone for him that basically had three buttons on it and it was like you know for any any age of your kid because it had a picture of mom on it

had a picture of dad on it and had a picture of the police on it and he could push any of those like it would basically call our phones or the police if he was in trouble sure I could have swallowed that thing that thing was small enough

yeah and from the photo they don't really give you a lot of detail but it's pretty much like you get him did you get him what is it what did you get Ew. Is that a mosquito? Like a fruit fly? What do we got there? That's like a little nat. Eat it. Eat it. I'm not going to eat it. Oh, eat it on the air. Come on.

No, that's just gross. I would do it, but there's really no point. We're not that kind of show. No, we're not that kind of show. And we're not, you know, it's not like knucks in the back of the war rig who's starving and a spider comes on. That's right. Doesn't work that way. I was like, where is my hand sanitizer? Hand sanitizer. That's right. Hans? Don't we have a guy?

We have a guy that follows us called Hans Sanitizer, I think. Yeah, I think he's in the patron. I always see him in there. Anyways. There we go. All clean. See, I'd lick my hand now. See, now I can lick his hand.

It's fine. Clean enough to eat off him. Yep. Eat off Brian's hand. Ew. Anyway, the after examination, they found he was suffering severe infection and stomach cramps. They said that it was originally just a foreign body inside the patient's stomach.

found out later it was a small phone a small phone cell phone is what i'm trying to say small phone small phone uh this subsequently led to preventing food from being digested and caused painful cramps patient's condition is now stable they got it out originally i thought what would they do go the other direction they jam a phone right right uh so this is where it gets interesting right the stomach pains weren't caused by the phone itself it was caused by not being able to eat because the phone was blocking food from making it to the stomach yeah that's That's right. You tried to down a plate of curry and there's a phone going, nope.

Exactly. Okay. Well, that's call blocking right there, yo. Which means, yeah. Which means, you know, he never thought that swelling the phone would become a problem until, oh, yeah, I guess it did become a problem when I couldn't get food around it. Yeah, and also just, we still, this article goes into none of this, but I don't understand the motivation. Why did you swallow the phone? Oh, yeah.

No, exactly. Tell me why. It looks so yummy. Yeah, I'm sure. Google Pixel? Oh, my gosh, that looks delicious. Did he ever say, I can't try to understand why people do things they do? Like, why would you just follow a phone? And then why would you act like everything's fine?

Oh, okay, I'm just going to dinner now. Why wouldn't you open with that when you get to the doctor's office? Oh, well, I have stomach pains. By the way, a couple months ago, I had a phone. I had a freaking phone. You have a phone in your guts. Might be related, but I don't know. Yeah, maybe he was hiding from the police.

Could have been one of those deals. Like when they eat paper and stuff, yeah. It's a burper phone. Burper phone. Burper phone. Yeah, that was bad. No, I kind of like it. I'm not going to.

It's not even worth, yeah, acknowledgement. The court will allow it. Yeah. Speaking of which, look how many mobsters have died. Mobster actors have died in the last. Oh, yeah, no kidding. Paul Sorvino, right. And I forgot that he was,

yeah. Played quite the, like, had quite the mafia boss. Yeah, multiple times, but especially in Goodfellas, he was the chief dude in that. And then a, then you got your Ray Leota from the same movie and other movies, often playing a mobster type guy. Then before that, you got the Polly Walnuts guy from Soprano's passed away. Yep. Oh, look at that.

So, uh, in James Con. You said James Con. James Con. The, um, yeah, now with Paul Sorvino, there's no objections. There's the one blockage to me dating his daughter is gone. Yep. His, his forbidding me from dating Mira Sorvino has now been lifting. Finally.

Finally. Our chances now. Sorry, Tina. Yeah. I remember him getting all fired up when he found out Weinstein was the reason his daughter got blacklisted because she wouldn't go along with his bullshit. Oh, really? She got kind of blacklisted for a long time after she won her Oscar for, what was it she won for? Best, best.

Oh, is a mighty Aphrodite, wasn't it? Was that it? I can't remember what it was. I think so. I always liked her and stuff. but I always just think of her in the replacement killers I freaking love that movie

the John Mu movie or not John Mu movie Antoine Fuqua movie Love it love it love it Oh look she's still just lovely Yeah she's great Nothing wrong with her at all Give her her career back is what I'm getting at though

Yeah, I think we did. Okay, I'm going to look. just to make sure, because this drives me crazy. QuickSack. Dotley, here we go. Okay, all right. If I could spell it. Yeah, we did.

229 back in 2014. Failing to kill any more because of his conscience, a troubled hitman seeks aid from a forger to help him get his papers to China. However, the drug lord has hired replacements to finish the job and kill the hitman. Oh, did you watch so 2019? there was a miniseries for Netflix called Hollywood. It seems like it's right up your alley, but it's a, it's a, I haven't heard of that.

Let's see, how is this done? American drama streaming television miniseries, ensemble cast, Darren Chris, Joe Mantello, Dylan McDermott, Holland Taylor, Samara Weaving, Jim Parsons, Patty Lupone, Mir Sorvino, about aspiring actors and filmmakers during the, Oh, interesting. She plays an actress whose career stalled out after a relationship with a studio head.

Oh. Ooh. That was in 2019. Wow. Does that, man, how do you not have some PTSD from playing that kind of character after all the Weinstein stuff? Jesus. No kidding.

It didn't review super well, but people like it. Let's see. Yeah. I've got a cast in this thing. Yeah. I'm going to watch this. Ryan Murphy,

There you go. I still mad at him for Glee. Glee sucked. Oh, well, yeah. It did. It did. There was, yeah. Hated it.

All right. Even when everyone says it was good, I hated it. All right. That's it for news for today. We're going to come back here in a session. second and hang out with first Bill Duran and then after that Bobby Frankenberger. But we can't do any of that until I've had a song in my stomach with my phone in there. So what do you got? If you can get by that phone. Let's get to a band called Daz. This is their eighth studio album. You've probably

heard of them. D-A-W-E-S. You know this band. Their brand new album is called Misadventures of Doom Scroller. It's about Scott and his TikToks. Just kidding. I do love that one you sent me last night with the guy who sounds just like Michael Jackson. That thing is so freaky. He's so good. Oh my gosh. The rest of his videos are good, too. He's really good.

He's like super talented, but he could fake it. He could be Michael Jackson. That's cool. Crazy. Yeah. Anyway, the whole album is available now. Misadventures of Doom Scroller. It's the band Daws from Los Angeles.

Here's a single from the machine, or from the album. It's called Ghost in the Machine. Standing right outside the echo, we were still just cutting the teeth, turning right outside the echo, and we were still just cutting the teeth, turning madness in the waveforms, turning madness in the waveforms. Searching chords for what's beneath All these existential freshmen Trying to keep our noses clean Scared to show our faith in The ghost and a machine

Standing right outside the echo When we were working for the door Assuming all our dreams We're brighter than The bands we played before But you could see it in their hunger You could hear it in their screams They too were just trying

To make contacts With a voice in a machine Through the buildups and the breakdowns, through the boom and through the crash, filling stockpiles of excuses, but how to train it in for cash. All the poisonous motel rooms, the lobby call at 615, One million miles apart a highway Vogel goes from the shoe I'm going to be.

I'm going to be. I'm going to I'm going to be able to be. I'm a little bit of the I'm a oh my a lot of

I'm my oh my and I'm and I'm and

I'm You know, I'm going to be able to be. All the doubts and hesitations I've built up in my early years are on the reconsideration through the music of the spheres, which I can not deny any. longer when every night I reconvene with these vibrations giving proof of the ghost

in a machine the ghost of a machine The ghost of a machine The ghost in a machine The ghost in a machine I'm not I'm a bit of the I'm

Aux I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm

This electronic miracle removes human error in cigarette manufacture. We must find this butthole that took our TV.

Bombs spells trouble for Scott and Brian. This is the morning stream. All right, we're back. Remind me who that was. Yeah, that was the band Dawes from their brand new album Misadventures of Doomscroller and a great little bluesy rocker called Ghost in the Machine. Nice. What does that remind me of?

I guess Ghost in the Machine. Yeah, like the police album that had them as pixels, or not pixels as like digital clock faces. Those, they don't like each other anymore, right? The band? Sting doesn't like Andy Summers and Stuart Copeland, but I think Stuart and Andy like each other just fine. Do they not like him?

Like, is it kind of a mutual thing where Sting annoys them, they annoy Stang? I think so, yeah, I think that they just had a lot of fights in that band and they didn't end things amicably. I saw them, it's funny, after the breakup, I saw them, Elvis Costello opened up for them at Red Rocks, and it was an incredible, incredible concert. Yeah. And, you know, they can play together as long as they just don't talk to each other.

Sure, yeah, don't talk, just play. Yeah, Red Rocks. Don't stand so close to each other. It's such an awesome venue, man. I got to get there someday. I want to see something there. I want to see a comedy concert there. That's what I want.

I don't know why. I just do. No, I think you want to see something with music and acoustics. Do I? I get, I get why you'd want to see, because you like comedy concerts, right? Yeah, I do.

I enjoy them. It almost feels like a waste to see a comedy show there because of how those giant stone walls can affect the music in ways that other amphitheaters can't. It's a fair point. Yeah. Then I'll think about what band I want. That'll do it. Okay, okay.

Think about what band you want. I would say, just. figure out, you know, a time you can come out here and see whoever's plan because it'll still be. Yeah. I'm just going to pick the band first, ask them to come out there. And then I'll see you. Yeah. I'll make that work. Your bat caves open there, Bill.

Hey, look who it is, you guys. It's Bill Duran from Punish Props. He's also fun, but he's also from Punish Props.com. Makes a fantastic channel all about making things. And since we live in the world of makers, what better time to have him on in this fine Tuesday. Bill, welcome back to the show. good to be here and happy to and excited to talk about a really fun project that I did

oh really cool I love it so lay it out what do you got so this is a little something that I worked on back in like 1997 maybe yeah okay my dad restored well I helped him my brother and I helped him restored a 1968 Volvo P800 sports car yeah and if you're curious what it looks like I just tweeted out some photos of it. Okay. And it's just the coolest little car. My dad had one when he was in his 20s, so he was very nostalgic for this cool little sports car.

It's a two-seater. There is technically a back seat, but you need to really not like the person that you cram back there because there's really no leg room. Oh my gosh, look at that tiny little back. Yeah, that's awesome, dude. I love this. And it's the car that Roger Moore drove in the show, The Saint. Oh, cool.

Oh, cool. Yeah, that was familiar to me. What's the modeling make again? So it's a 1968 Volvo P-1800. P-1800. Yeah. And it's sitting there. So I got to take it out driving and someone in a 240, a Volvo 240,

pull up next to us at Duncan Donald because they're excited to see it. So I guess like Volvo P. people. They know, right? They know what's up. Yeah. Also, I'm pissed at you for having 70 degree weather and wherever you are. Oh, right. Yeah. I saw that on the sign. Looking at all the buttons on the dad, like, I want that there to be like an inject button in that center thing right next to the cigarette lighter. I should add one and not even tell my dad, see if you notice is. So is this, is that first shot of the far off shot? Is that your dad in that car back then? Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

No, that was, I took that maybe 10 years ago. Okay. Okay. Yeah. That's awesome. Freakily. So, this was a huge project. We ended up getting our hands on, I think, three cars, the one main car and then two other kind of wrecked cars that were donors.

And we ended up pulling parts off of those to kind of build one complete car. And it took us a couple of years, both to collect all the parts and cars and to do all of the work. But I'll tell you what. we learned everything about that car both inside and out i'll bet yeah we used to call those my dad used to do some of this stuff as well pull from other cars and add them to a different car and we he called them a frankin car back then because it was always parts from like oh this came from a honda but we're putting it in a Volkswagen no one'll ever know you know but we he loved doing that um oh yeah we did a lot of that we had a lot of sobs and we had a attic full of sob parts

And if we could get a wreck that we could pull all the parts off, we'd do it. Because we did all the work on the cars ourselves. That's really cool. Very cool. And this car resides where right now? This is up in New York still? Yeah, this is in where my parents live in upstate New York. Nice.

So like I said, it took a ton of work. We took everything off that car. The leather seats were re-apulstered. The car body was completely stripped of paint. and we had it repainted the bumpers got recromed all the brake lines and electricals got re-ran every single component

since we had to repaint the body everything had to come off of it so everything got taken off everything got cleaned everything got repainted and everything got put back together nice what was the time what's time to complete for this thing from start to finish do you think I would say maybe two years two or three years maybe

yeah worked on it regularly like like once a week you'd get in there or like yeah a couple days a week maybe a lot of times waiting for parts waiting for like a specific part or sending a part out to get like we sent the bumpers out to get re-chromed and then that shop

closed so my dad had to sneak in and get the bumpers back like the shop closed up for good I mean it and they he didn't yeah so it was an adventure there were a lot of weird things like that where we'd have to wait for something or steal part of our car

back or whatever and it still runs he can get in there turn it over and go it does yeah it's weird so it has a it has a a choke you gotta pull the choke out a little bit let's get it started it also requires a lead additive

to the gas you have to add lead to the gas oh really there's no more lead to gas you have to do yeah there's a regular unleaded and extra leaded yeah yeah so it's like what is that something you can just buy in a bottle and pour in there

Yeah, it's a funky little body. I'll squir a little in the tank when you fill up. Yeah. Wild, man. But it does. It runs great. It's a sports car. It's a quick little car.

It's really fun. Your sphincter is about six inches from the ground, though. I'll tell you what. Like, your butt is low, and your head is bumper level with every other modern car. So it is an experience. Yeah. Weird. It's hard to tell from the photos, but I guess.

Oh, and actually, the one where it's next to the wagon, the Volvo wagon, you can kind of see the lower profile of this thing. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's a stick shift. It's super, it's really fun. It's super, super cool. Now, I never got to drive it as a teenager. Oh, boo, boo.

When it was finished, my dad got it, he had to get insurance for it, and you can get classic car insurance, and it's very, very cheap because they expect someone with a classic car to baby it. Yeah, right. Makes sense. Yeah, they made him sign a thing saying that under, No circumstances will either of his twin teenage boys drive this classic car. It's such a Ferris Bueller, like, all I could visualize is Cameron and the...

Yeah, absolutely, that's totally it. And the Ferrari or whatever it was, yeah. And it was like, the last thing I need to do before we can drive this car on the road is go get it insured. And he came back from the insurance place. And he's like, so I've got some great news. The car insurance is extremely cheap. bad news you can't drive it you will never set foot behind the steering wheel or set butt behind the steering wheel so uh so anyway my twin brother and i were fighting over who was going

to get to drive this thing to the prom well neither one of us got to drive to the prom instead we got to share the minivan which was not even close to boom that sucks yeah i mean whatever when you're like for me it was i had access to every every every you ever you every time my dad came from California for these car auctions he would bring something awesome usually and then it would always be the worst timing for dances and proms and stuff because the week before

it could have had a 300 ZX right with a T-top turbo black beautiful amazing car to take a girl anywhere in and then the very next week's like oh we sold that one but we got this hugo where the steering wheel that comes off so don't turn too hard like dude

it's my date tonight you don't have a bit oh well I should the way that football fumbled he thought that was great but anyway yeah I totally I totally feel that but do you think you'll I mean you know not to jump too far ahead but you think you'll inherit this car or are you and Jamie going to have to fight over it or what's how's that going to go

um I I would love to have this car I want a brother fight I want I want to see the Durans go at it we'll see so my little brother we already know he's getting the house. So I think I can pull hard

for the car. Yeah. Yeah. If he's inheriting a house. Sure. Yeah. That's the problem with being twins. It's just like dead on competition. Oh, that's the worst. Yeah, but you're older by like a couple minutes, aren't you? That's true.

There you go. I finally get to wave that seniority flag. Yeah. Just, you know, push that a little bit. Say, I'm sorry, but as you know, I got here first. I turned 16 before you. I've been driving a little longer than you. Right, there you go, exactly.

Plus you're a teacher, and it's not cool to drive this car if you're a teacher. Your kids make fun of you. You can come up with all kinds of ideas, I'm telling you. You got this. Yeah, that won't work. My dad was a teacher. He drove at the school, and it was very cool. I bet it was.

Well, that's awesome. If you want to follow Bill on Twitter, he posts stuff like this all the time, and you can see these images over at Twitter. com slash chinbeard. Uh, do that today. Hey, Bill, do you have a, you have a little side, uh, little side. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

So Alex Steele, the blacksmith is making a crescent wrench from scratch. Uh, he recently did a ratcheting, um, socket wrench from scratch. And I just think it's absolutely fascinating to see how these tools are both made and how they work. Uh, so he's got his, he's got an example one and he's trying to recreate it. I think as a practice in making, I think it's a really cool idea. Oh, yeah, right. Start with something you just physically have and make a duplicate of it.

Exactly, yeah. And just to figure out the steps it takes to recreate that. Is it like, is that a form of reverse engineering or would you call it something else? I don't know. I don't know. Probably. Or just, I don't know. I guess he's making a replica.

Yeah, I guess he is. This is actually closer to what I do. Sure. It's good to see that this guy's getting work now, that one direction broke up. Yeah, you know, look, when these kids, you worry about these kids, you want them to do well. You know, they can all be that one that ended up in that movie. Anyway, well, this is great. As always, Bill, fun hanging out, punish props.com.

And, of course, the YouTube channel always is there. Punch Props on YouTube. Have a fantastic week. You got it. See you next time. Oh, wait, hold on. There we go. Bill got to hang out recently with Joel telling you.

I forgot to ask him about that, Joel telling the 3D printing nerd. Yeah, that guy's a, oh, shoot, we should have poked him on that. The guy's great. He's just so cool. Him and, I don't know if I've been watching another, another 3D printing YouTube dude named Uncle Jesse, and that guy's good, too.

Uncle Jesse, the guy's excited about everything. Yeah, I know, right? You think, like, Duke's a thing I thought of. Those old Duke boys in their 3D printing, let's see what kind of hijinks they get into this time. Yeah, freeze frame, go to commercial. come back later and see if they make the jump. Spoiler, they always make the jump.

All right, check this out. Science. It's Science with Bobby Frankenberger, who joins us on Tuesdays. Talks a little science every week. Hi, Bobby, welcome back. Hey, thanks for having me back. As always, a pleasure, as my dad would say. What's going on with you?

Do you have anything crazy happened since we last saw you? You're all good? I went to This weekend I took the family For a semi-spontaneous trip Like we kind of planned it last minute To go to this I don't know if they have them everywhere

Or where they go But it's called Great Wolf Lodge Have you ever heard of it? Oh I have Been to one of those Yeah That's cool Where near I guess in South Carolina somewhere

Well it's in North Carolina So it was about an hour and a half away But that place I'd never been before That place is pretty cool You know how, like, there are really cool things that until you, like, kids give you permission to be excited about. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah.

So, there's like this cool scavenger hunt type thing that they do called Magic Quest. Is that with the wand? Yeah, you get these wands that you can point out. Like, you can activate all these different, like, treasure chests and things all over the walls, and you're giving quests by this old bearded wizard. and it was pretty cool. When we went, Tristan was almost the perfect age for that. I had to kind of like, you know, push him along to like, no, let's go see what it does.

We pointed at this thing over here. Now we've got to find the blah, blah, blah. But there's one here in Colorado by Colorado Springs. There's one in Ontario by the Anaheim Convention Center and big old, big old water park in the middle of it. Oh, yeah. indoor water park for this terribly on fire time of year

yeah for sure no kidding yeah yeah they're all over the place nothing too close to me I could have sworn I'd been to one of these maybe I was in Scottsdale there's probably things other things that are similar right

yeah it's interesting though like it's super rustic right all that stuff's supposed to look like you know old timey it's like you're in a lodge yeah yeah you know just just like a rustic lodge with

with a mascot characters walking around and uh yeah and golden team machines just like a real lodge yeah like in the olden times yeah

did you uh did you have to wear a coonskin hat or cap no but they give you complimentary wolf ears oh you can put on that are like

it's like a headband you know you put on and it's got are they from actual wolves or these are replicas of wolf ears yes in fact they give you the wolf you have to kill it yourself

Oh, okay. Now we're talking. I'm in. Sign me up. Skin it. They have skinning classes. Yeah. You got to get up early for those. Well, anyway, well, that's fantastic. What scientific data did you bring for us today to have our mind-blones by? Well, this week, I've been reading and researching a bunch for our, to do a round-up on the science podcast, all around science. I've been reading about all the things that in just the few short weeks that the James Webb Space Telescope spin out, what has been discovered? We keep seeing pictures and headlines of random various things and just seems to be all over the place.

So I've been doing a roundup of that kind of stuff. And I came across one that I thought would be interesting to talk about, which is the, you may have seen headlines that we've spotted the oldest known galaxy ever to be. spotted has just been done and when we say oldest we we it's it's funny when you talk about time and telescopes right yeah when we say oldest we do mean the one that we've seen that uh light that is the oldest right like light that has come the farthest and and is the oldest so the one the particular one that we spotted was uh just about 300 it's light And we're looking at the galaxy as it looked just about 300 million years after the Big Bang, which is really, really impressive. Because if you, the, the universe itself is 16.7 billion years old.

So this is just like a few hundred million years, just 300 million years is, is a blink of an eye in terms of how old. And this may very well be the oldest light we are able to see right now with the technology that we have. And possibly pretty close to the oldest light that it's possible to see at all. Period. Yeah. We may not be able to see light before then because of the universe is described too much younger than that. Like too much closer to the Big Bang, the universe is often described as being open. opaque. And that has to do with the fact that big objects hadn't formed yet, and it was just clouds

of hydrogen gas, and they were neutral hydrogen, which means it hadn't been ionized. And so any photons that were bouncing around would have been absorbed by the hydrogen, and it wouldn't have let the light escape. So that's what we mean when we say opaque, that you couldn't see into it. It's because the light wouldn't escape these clouds. Right. Yeah. So this is pretty cool that we're able to see this far back. Let me ask you this.

I'm looking at this image. And how do they know? Okay, so let's just take that one little section that it was so famous, the very first shot that everybody saw. At first, yeah. If you took that and just pointed at any of those points of light, how do they know which ones are the oldest? Like, how do you know? Yeah. How do they know how long the light has traveled to get here?

Yeah. That's a really, really good question. Brian, you said it. So the basic idea is you look at how long has, how old is the light. How long did it take to get here? Because light travels at a constant speed. It only has one speed that it travels. And so if you know how long the light took to get to you, then you know how far away it is

because you just do simple arithmetic to figure it out, right? Okay, sure. It's a little bit more complicated than that, though, because the galaxy or the universe is also expanding as light is traveling through it. And so since light always goes the same speed, it gets a little tricky because the distance that it's going is actually stretching while it's going through that. Yeah. Wow. And so you have to get really, really creative and figure things out. but the short answer, or the medium-length answer to your question, I guess.

I think I already blew past the short answer to the question, but the answer to your question is that they measure the red shift of the light. Oh, okay, okay. So what happens is as light is moving, since space itself is actually stretching, then the wavelength of light itself also gets, gets stretched as it's moving. So when you take a parcel of light that is a particular wavelength and you stretch it out, the wavelength gets longer. And that's what they refer to as red shift, because the longer, as you stretch out light, it shifts it towards the red end of the spectrum because red has a longer wavelength.

And so visible light, red is at the longer wavelength end, but then you go past that and you get to infrared. And as you may know from reading or me blathering on about it sometimes, this particular telescope is very specifically designed to look at infrared light. So in particular, it's designed to try to probe the deepest parts of the universe because that's the light that's getting out from those very early stages is the infrared light. And even if it wasn't infrared light, it would have been stretched to infrared. wavelength.

Levels. Yeah. That's wow. I mean, and they know that, you know, they just haven't discovered a new kind of star that outputs light closer to the, to the infrared spectrum. Like, it's not, it's not a star that's, you know, 12 miles away that just happens to be. Oh, yeah, right. They can pump out infrared light.

Sure. Right, exactly. And they use other methods in combination with that. Where is it located? You know, what is the spectrum? of light like they look at the light in totality what can you see um is it does it look like it's being warped and shifted around other things that would indicate that it's behind other things they look at all sorts of things one of the cool ways they identified that this was as old as

it is because once you get that far back you can imagine that it might be harder to pinpoint exactly is it 300 million years after the big bang or is it 400 million years after the big bang but one of the ways they were able to pinpoint that it was around 300 million years is pretty interesting infrared light is actually a wide range of wavelengths right there's there's they group it into three different kinds but you can you can chunk it down even further than that you hear about like near infrared mid infrared and far infrared and these are just you know dividing the the range of wavelengths up into different chunks right right um And so what they know about the universe at this time was, as I said, light was just starting to escape these hydrogen clouds because hydrogen was just starting to coalesce and come together into larger packets and chunks and begin to gather energy enough and basically thin out in a way space.

So light could get out. But as that happened, only certain parts of light would be able to escape at a time. It wasn't like none of the light could get out and then suddenly all the light could get out. What would happen is as it slowly thinned out, some of the infrared at longer wavelengths would be able to escape. And then, but shorter wavelengths of infrared would still be trapped. And then as it thinned out some more, even, you know, mid-range infrared might be able to escape. able to escape. And kind of like that. So what they were able to do is look at this galaxy and because this telescope can can really look at light in a bunch of different tiny bands of infrared

wavelengths. They were able to take the same picture in multiple exposures of different wavelengths and they were able to just basically one at a time look at them and see, okay, we can see that galaxy now let's look at a shorter wavelength we can still see it and then once they get short enough it disappears wow so that's yeah and that's how you that's really cool that's wow and so they know that oh light is escaping at these wavelengths but not these ones so that tells you even more information about how far away it is how old the universe was or how young it was really at that time and all this kind of stuff it's just amazing cool things that they're able to do With this telescope, now that they're able to collect such high detail infrared light

that could never have been done because that telescope is a million and a half miles away, or a kilometer's way. What are the reasons why this may be, I don't know if this is a whole other subject for a different day, but why are we getting so much lens flare on the new images and the Hubble stuff didn't have all that? What is that? Because J.J. Abrams was a sponsor. That's what I thought. Yeah, exactly. He's directing the whole thing.

But also, fortunately for him, it's actually just part of the way that the telescope is constructed. Those flares that you're seeing actually, every time you see a flare, it's a certain exact, exactly the same number of flares in every star, if you look closely enough. And it's because each of those lines, those rays, radiating out from a star, corresponds to where two of the mirrors from the telescope actually come together. And so that's why you're seeing that. It's just a refraction pattern as a result of how the mirrors are constructed. Interesting. In fact, you still see that same sort of pattern with Hubble,

but they're a different pattern because they had different. the mirrors were different, constructed differently. Sure, sure. Yeah, it's fascinating stuff. You know, since they can gauge the direction that, you know, everything is moving slowly out from the center of the universe, right? Like super duper slowly. Sure.

Can they, so they have a pretty good idea of where the quote unquote center of the universe is. we need to get a telescope out there. I don't know that that's true, though. I wouldn't have to look this up because I'm not 100% sure if what I'm about to say is true, but I think that there's not a lot of agreement on if there is a center to you.

Oh, really? Okay, because I would think like wherever the Big Bang originated would be considered the center. But I think when you talk about the Big Bang and you're talking about like quantum forces that didn't even exist at the Big Bang and I mean space and time this is where it gets really weird is the actual thing space and time didn't exist until a certain point after the Big Bang because those are actual physical properties of the universe space and time right right and that's about as much as I can say about that because it's very complicated

in Mathian, I don't understand. But space and time itself are the result of how the physicality of the universe is condensing in a way. It was so hot that space and time, everything had so much energy that space and time couldn't exist. Very, very, you know, fractions of fractions of fractions of seconds after the Big Bang. It didn't take long for those things to form. But so that's why some people say, like, maybe some people will say the universe is infinite, right? Yeah. If the universe is infinite, it doesn't make sense to talk about the center.

Yeah, right, obviously, yeah. A lot of people in the chat room are agreeing, like, basically echoing that sentiment, sentiment that every spot is the center of the universe. I am finally the center of the universe. Yeah, you are all the center of the universe, exactly. All these years you've been, like, giving yourself shit for it, but really, you were the way. Yeah, it was truly true. Prove it. They can prove it, Mom.

Yeah, prove it you can't. Finally. Yeah, because everything in the universe is expanding away from itself, right? So like every galaxy is getting big. Space itself is getting bigger. Yeah. So that's the other downside to think about is that you're also just getting bigger every day. Yeah.

Yeah, it's so cool. It's pretty rad. Well, all right. This is deep stuff today. It's a deep space. Yeah, I love it. I love to talk about space. Probably more of that coming as we get.

I mean, that's the other question I had is, is the plan to just keep sucking images out of this thing and sharing it with the public? Or is, you know, for as long as they can. Yeah, there's a lot of different projects going on right now. Lots of different plans for things to do. This, identifying the earliest galaxy we've ever seen

as part of the glass project or the glass survey. And there's other ones, though. there's like the Sears C-E-R-S survey, there's different projects to look at, you know, stellar nurseries and how galaxies formed in the early universe. But even looking at, we've taken pictures of things in our solar system. There's a lot of information coming out about Jupiter and stuff like that. And so there's all these different tiny projects. They're just going to do as much as they can for as long as it's going on. But a lot of this stuff is already coming out.

And that's what we're going to talk about. That episode will be out on. this coming Monday because we haven't recorded it yet. I'm still doing the research, but that's what I'm going to be talking about is what are all these things that are, these projects that are being worked on and what have we, what have we discovered even just in the three weeks since it went online? That's pretty awesome. So keep your eye on the prize over there at that show all around science. They're going to cover that stuff. We'll bring it up here and we'll have future episodes as well because Bobby's a regular now on Tuesdays. Bobby, always a pleasure, man.

Yeah, and always a pleasure to hang out with you guys. Yeah, I'll see you next week. Yeah, I'll be here. We'll add you to the call next week, and then our minds will be blown away again, you know? We'll see you later. All right. There goes, Bobby. All right, Brian, we're winding down here, but real quick, a note about today.

Play Retro is happening at 3.30 p.m. mountain time today. Over at Twitch.com. We're doing all things Kirby, at least the early years. so expect a lot of NES through Super NES sort of era of content, but we'll talk a little bit about where the series is now and why the current new game is the highest selling Kirby game of all time. I love Kirby, unabashedly, and you might as well. So tune in and find out either live for the show at 3.30

or if you prefer the podcast, you can get that right after. That's me and Brian Dunaway I should mention. All right. What else? Patreon.com slash TMS is how you support this show. I want to thank Vatterrung, who has been supporting us since 2014. He's awesome, an all-star, and someone who should be thanked for being here.

All the time. Frogman's.com. slash TMS is our website, and you can always find us via email. The morning stream at e-mail.com. Brian, we got to get out of here, but we can't do it until we have a song,

so you must play it. I will do that. Brian wrote in. Wait, was it me? No, I don't remember writing this. So it must have been somebody else. Brian wrote in said, on July 22nd,

my wife and I took possession of our first home. Could you play a cover of Iron Maiden and the Stranger in a strange land for us to move? It seems like an appropriate song. If you can't find a good cover of the song, any cover by or of Iron Maiden would be great. Please feel free to play the song any time during the week.

If you already have requests for that day, blah, blah, blah. We'll be moving and unpacking for several days, probably months. Hey, is it too early to get an mmm sausage? No, although I have to find it real fast. Let's see, I don't have it handy. Sausage. Okay, here we go. no that's not it

here you go sausage oh we need the slow one though um sausage oh yeah that's good stuff still

still to this day feels like you play a longer version of that clip wouldn't it be funny if I was like if I had gone I know it'd be totally like I've thought about that being a possibility that you're playing a very long

joke on me The long con's going to go to about 2028, and I'll finally reveal that I've been doing it the entire time. Exactly. I love it. I swear. Just what I think she's about to stop saying, mm, and switch to sausage. No, she has more in her. She has more in her.

Mm-hmm. Yes. All right. Well, I looked for a good cover of Stranger in a Strangeland. Found a lot of Screamo stuff. Was not happy about that. Wasn't happy with my choices. So I hope you don't mind if I go with another Iron.

Maiden song being covered. This is probably, you know, one of their biggest songs, The Trooper being another one, but Run to the Hills. Very, very popular Iron Maiden's song. This is a cover by Stephen Seagulls from their 2015 album Farm Machine. It's Iron Maidens Run to the Hills. I'm sorry, Stephen Seagulls. Stephen Seagulls. That's amazing. All right. I've played these guys for you before. This is not the first time you've ever seen. I don't know why that name is jumping out to me today it's really like until you hear their music it's even better than you could even expect i will make sure to take some time after the show that's fantastic all right that's it thank you all for being here we'll be back tomorrow with more oh yeah windy or

kim is sitting in tomorrow i should mention brian's traveling so it'll be kim tomorrow skim ms skimms tomorrow uh thursday brian will be there remote and uh we'll be doing it normal there and then friday you're home friday for play date play day we have you're home friday for play date Play date. Yeah, we haven't you mentioned playdate Friday, everybody. Yeah, we're doing a play date, Friday. It'll be fun. That's in place of couch party, which is in place of PM, which some listeners are still mad at me about. I got to figure out, I am, for those listening who are like, man, I miss having an extra chunk of just audio stuff because that's how I get the show. I got some ideas, okay? I've been thinking about it. We're going to work with Brian on it. We're going to talk about it. I'm not saying any, I don't have a solution yet, but I'm, we're working on it. I'm not ignoring your pleas. I get it. I totally get where you're coming from. And everyone else who is really enjoying it, well,

you'll keep enjoying it because we're not going to end it. We're not going to stop. So it'll work out for everybody in the end. We might add another thing on top of it to appease the people who can't come here live. And it's like, well, yeah, it's great listening to you guys watch Loki.

But if I'm not watching it, it's not as fun. Yeah, and I agree with them. You know, it's not. So we'll come up with something. We'll let you know sometime soon. But anyway, Playdate this weekend. That'll do it for us.

Thank you all for listening. And we'll see you next time. White man came across the sea He brought us pain and misery He killed our tribes He killed our crean He took our game for his own need We fought him hard
