and Gwen's awesome uh all right hey a lot going on we have some things uh real quick here uh ducks are the worst let me just get into why what's up with the ducks you might be uh the geese uh i feel like uh ducks ain't got nothing on geese as far as being jerks but let's hear your story and we'll all just say usually that's totally my thing as well like geese are the jerks and ducks are fine or they're just sort of there or whatever um you know they're kind of scavengers if you walk toward a lake with a bunch of bread they're all going

to come around there and whatever uh but yesterday we're at um not mitchells maxwell's i was get the name. Maxwell's Pizza up the street. It's amazing New York style pizza place that I highly recommend anybody who's out in this area ever. And it's really close. So it's nice. We walked out there with Taylor, Dylan, and the baby. And I guess the other baby was with us as well because Taylor was waddling. She's very pregnant right now. Technically that baby, she's not going anywhere without that baby. No, she can't go anywhere without her. Not for another couple months. Yeah, not until October. But she's so pregnant right now. And it's all being carried like way out front and uh anyway we waddle our way on down there and we get a big big pie cut right down the

middle we got pepperoni on one side and just cheese on the other we're just looking for some basic business here we're not going crazy sure sure but it's really good versions of that kind of pizza and so we go and we do that and we're sitting down and we're chilling and we notice there a couple of ducks walking around no big deal okay uh van throws a fry outside the restaurant I hope oh yeah we're outside definitely outside okay good and And Van throws a little half of a French fry at one of these things. I think that's how it started. It could have been somebody else's fry, but I'm pretty sure he started it.

And so now they're kind of going, oh, walking around going, just kind of want more action. That's fine. I get it. You're a duck. That's what ducks do. Yeah. But what ducks don't do is they don't get to jump up and land on your table with all

your food around and flap their wings and act like it's their job to disrupt everything and take all your shit freaking F you birds yeah no kidding oh yeah for sure that that's uh that's that's that's they're on their way to becoming Peking duck yeah when they do that that uh yeah yeah that's right point your point your bill point your bill north and get your get your ass to mars like get out of here did you think about all those mites i did i thought of mites i thought of their wings oh yeah oh yeah and your food and all that yeah and i thought of like uh how birds poo for no reason all the time you know i thought about that well they have a reason they just don't care about it's a reason because they poop yeah so then we thought well

we'll shush him away and they'll be fine so carter does this whole like gets up and slaps it away and it goes out and now they're on the ground again but one of these is so aggressive that it just keeps coming up like supercharged and hard and fast at us and hissing at us as it tries to like get it's i'm like dude you're the guest here you don't get to just come in here are you kidding me freaking ducks so anyway and carter says i don't know how to stop them if they said i just i do i'll break one i'll break that duck's neck i don't have a problem with it actually i wouldn't want i was fine with that she was fine with that she was like i'll do it dad if you want i'll break the ducks neck here let me let me kick it can i can i kick it that's right and i don't i mean i'm a big

talker i probably couldn't do that it seems mean but uh anyway freaking ducks dude just go somewhere else. You can go get bread at the lake. Why are you, they're across the street and like, it's four blocks over. Yeah. Yeah. Into human territory. It's our town, buddy. Was there a busy street between you and the, uh, the lake? I'd say ish. Yeah. Okay. Especially that time of day. So you should throw in some more vans fries there. Put him out in the road. In the middle of the street. Yeah. Oh, man. And it's all bad for them. like i'm kidding people these like yeah brian save your emails Brian doesn't mean any of that um no i'm a animal lover not an animal fighter exactly and we know giving him you know fries and bread is bad

we know right you you you did kind of start it yeah kind of well the three year old i blame the three year old yeah he's being sweet he thought he was like sharing with the animal kingdom and all that and i can't blame him but at the end of the day we learned our lesson and there's probably i probably ate some duck poo. I don't know. I probably did. Oh, I'm sure you did. Totally did. Because it was a hot ready-to-go pizza that I was not going to let go away. There's the pizza you can see. There's the duck poo you can see

and then there's the duck poo you can't see. Right. This is a great life lesson that you just expressed. Duk-poo dust. Dusted your pizza with their duck-poo dust. Gross. And mites. Gross. There's a reason. It is my goal to keep you inside your house

for the rest of your work. It's working. It's working. It's working. Nicely done. Anyway, we also got a hard question from a listener. Real hard one. All right. All right. Lay it on me.

I'm ready. I'm ready. Send and receive email. I also think he's Canadian. The email address led me to believe that. Anyway, his name is Tate. He says, hey, squirt and burp. Okay, that's fine.

How come Brian says golly so much? I think he means golly like that. Gali, really? Do I? Oh, yeah, you say it quite a bit. Is that new? That's funny. I remember when I did absolutely all the time

And I That is such a verbal crutch That I don't even think about doing it Yeah It's like it'd be like a thing where we'd be like Oh see you just did it Yeah that's like I'm trying to think of like the natural Oh golly

Yeah And then he says And why does Scott say freaking so much Thanks for any help you can provide Tate Well Tate I don't know Because if I say God eff and damn

Then we've got it all of a sudden Put an explicit tag on this show Yeah, that's part of it. And Freakin is my replacement for the F word, because I don't really drop it that often or ever, really. All right. So, chat room, I need you to stay on me and catch me when I say golly. Because, again, this is one that I don't even think about. This is like a completely subconscious.

Yeah, it is very gomer pilely. Well, if I was going, golly. Well, Andy, you can come down to the. the gas station, and, oh, let me sing as long for you. I'll have to dream the impossible dream. Yeah, I know, right, Jim Neighbors. He's just like, he was two people, that guy, for sure. Yes, there is like a 72-year-old person laughing their head off at my joke just now.

Yeah, they love it. 99.9% of the audience does not get it. Look, if you're younger and you want to understand, here's what you do. You go to YouTube and you search for Gomer Pile, and you get plenty of examples of that, And then look up Jim neighbor sings, and then you'll be blown away by this guy's freaking baritone. It's crazy. It's incredible. It's almost Ozzy Osbourne, right?

It's the ability to talk kind of goofy. And I'm sure, you know, his Gomer Pyle was an act. It was not his real voice, but still that versus his singing voice. Yeah, you pretty much set yourself in stone when you do that sort of stuff. And it's fine. Who was his brother was Gomer? No, Guber. goober he took over when i don't know what happened there oh no he went off had his own show

that's what it was he had a spin-off yeah he did gomer pile us mc that's right pile you're oh my i don't know if i remember there was a serge but i couldn't even tell you if sarge ever acted like that if you ever yelled their name like like like you like not duly like what's it like Jetson what was the oh i always think of the simpsons when they go Animal House. I always think of that for some reason. Right. The dude on Animal House, I don't think ever said it, but everyone thinks he did. Anyway.

Right. So there you go. Sergeant Carter, Toga. What? Oh, now they're all just saying random words. Sergeant Carter was, yeah, Gomer's sergeant. That's actually kind of a stupid fun show to watch. Just put it on, let it go.

It's real dumb. I know you love your yokel humor, so you probably would hate it, but it's okay. Yeah, I'm trying to remember. I know that was one that my grandparents watched, so that was on in the house. Yeah. As far as like reruns and stuff, because it was, obviously, it was in syndication when I was a kid. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Way before our time. All this stuff is. Everyone always says, like, you know, how do you know so much about that? Well, it's because we had reruns, man. That's how we grew up. We didn't have, we didn't have 24-7 streaming services that had a billion things constantly all at once. And plus, you know, 300 channels of cable. It didn't exist.

We had three stations. Yep. It was all, you know, whatever they had. And then if you had any extra time, you might get a VHS tape or something. right that was us you basically came home from school you flicked on uh the station that was showing syndicated reruns of i love lucy and gilligan's island and yeah bewitched in the munsters and you ate a maybe you made a sandwich or you made some cereal or something sure you waited for uh and you were happy with it because that's all yeah and it's all you had that's what you had yeah

it's it yeah and when that's all you have you have you take what you have and you make the best of it and it's totally fine in my case the house is full of coin operated arcade games and that was nice. That's pretty nice. It was nice, except I never knew who my friends were. Never. Your true friends, right? Who's here for the, who's here for Battlezone and who's here for me? Yeah, my friend Dan and Mark would hang out and do more stuff with me, which told me they were my real actual friends. Everybody else would come. They'd play, I don't know, missile command all night and then leave. And I know that meant that they were, they were just Johnny Come lately's, you know, looking for free play video games. That's what they want

They're not your real friends No, no, you couldn't tell You just couldn't tell And now I don't care where they are My missile command should be coming any day now My The New Wave Toys You bastard

Foot tall version Is that a little ball? Because right now Does that have a little ball on it? It does, it's got a track ball The centipede has a little track ball Oh You're making me want that

I used to love that game But the question is like What happens? Because right now I've got five arcade games in a change machine. And that is the full width of that table right there. What do I do? I don't know.

You got some rearranging to do, man. I might have to make it like an L-shaped arcade or something. Yeah. No doubt. There's a brand new game on Steam called Arcade Paradise. I'm desperately curious about it. It looks like you basically have to run a laundromat in the early goings to pay for this like underground arcade that you're building and every arcade machine in there is playable

which is crazy a business builder kind of thing right yeah one of these chore core games that I like but uh boy I need that to be just right to like it is it good for sure for sure I don't Captain Kipper yes I do have a Vectrix and it's playable it works and I even have the cartridge that's got all the games yeah that's what you want the 3D printed full ROM business. I have a hard drive full of so many games. I'll never play them all. There's no way. Yeah. Oh, you and me both. I have a steam library full of games I'm never going to play. Yeah. Get a steam deck and then you'll wonder how you're ever going to stop. That's the problem. Exactly. That's, you know, maybe the steam deck would help, right? It's like, oh, I'm sitting here. I don't have to be in front of my PC to play it.

Yeah. I played Assassin's Creed Origins all night on that thing. And boy, howdy, is that thing like battery life. Just like, I'm gnom, nom, nom, nom, nom, no, no, no. Yeah, that game really likes to chew it up. All right. Any lift stories yesterday? Anything happened? No, everyone was pretty boring. I was really excited because it's moving week up in Boulder.

All the students are coming back. And so I drove up there. I had to pick up a check from somebody. And then I waited to turn on my lift online until I was actually in Boulder City Limits. Because I'm thinking, oh, great, all the new students here, I'm going to get a bunch of short rides in. It'll be quick, easy, fun, perfect. Sure.

Second ride I get is out to the airport. It's like, goodbye, Boulder. See ya. Off to the opposite. Off to the great pool drain in the sky, basically. Yeah, that's the opposite thing that you wanted. It was literally somebody leaving Boulder instead of all the coming in. Exactly.

Yeah. But sure enough, I did get, I got rides immediately from the airport, then took somebody and then pick somebody else to take him to the airport and then back away. from the airport but then i had one person who made me drive southeast i live in the northwest part of town i had to drive southeast to the furthest part of denver i swear to god it is the furthest part of denver i've ever been and it's actually southeastern aurora or parker and it is it is as uh diametrically opposed to my home location as you can possibly get How far are you from

Bobert's Bar and Grill thing that she has? She's over on the Grand Junction rifle area So that would be about a five or six hour drive Oh, that's a, okay, that's... Far enough that I won't get any of that on me. No, you don't want to do that. That's how far I am from Boebert.

I just thought it'd be fun Like if the show could get a first-hand like Wings, you know, testing. Dude, if I could, I would so, like, I would love to rig up some sort of, uh, hidden cam recording thing. Yeah. And do a, uh, you know, do a, let's go to Bobert's Bar and Grill. Yeah. Let's, you know, maybe you'll catch her there one day. Her and her weird husband who's drunk all the time. Maybe they'll be there. Maybe. Oh, God. Yeah, you probably

show his wean to me. Yeah, you can see his wiener. Yeah. Yeah. He's famous for that. Yeah, he's famous for that. Yeah, he's famous. Oh, no, I guess I'm not a minor. Never mind. No, yeah. You need to be the only shows it. He only shows his wing to minors. Look, if you were under 18, it'd make some sense, you know? All right. We're going to get some guy on YouTube's going to go, how come you guys don't give this kind of heat to the other side? I get that every time we make any comment about anything.

So hold on a second. I'll go ahead and give you one. Liberal ex-freaking, what was he? Well, this is a representative guy. There's all these things, all these people we could make fun of. And we don't make fun of them. Come on, man. Come on.

a good Biden. It's not bad. Yeah. I'm working. I'm working. I need to really workshop it. Yeah. He's old nottering there. I learned a little bit from Dana Carvey about the, you got to do kind of the whisper thing a little bit. What's the, oh, man, you got it. Come on, man, did it do. And we're trying. Yeah. But the latest episode. Yeah. Of that fly on the wall, which is, I'll admit it, I have a little crush on Vanessa Bayer from SNL.

Oh, I like her too. yeah she's great uh she's great in that i love that for you by the way on showtime which i recommend a few weeks ago and you still need to watch it um anyway yeah um at the very beginning of that dana or no david says uh don't worry venezso at some point we'll let you talk you know this show is all about us we're kind of self-involved well good they admit it they're they know what they are they know they know the first step is admitting they have a problem yeah they know they have the problem i just don't think they have any interest in fixing it no they don't have any interest in changing it. It's really, everything is just a, how can we work in another Lauren Michael's impersonation?

Yeah. There's lots of opportunity, it turns out, in one episode to do that. Lots. Yes. All right. Well, look, reading's important as well. Not just listening, but reading. Right. Sometimes listening. Who can tell us about reading those guys? I know. It seems. Anybody out there? It seems like a weird request, but we're going to find out now as we play this intro. Yes, that's right. Cettle up and grab your love sack or whatever. We're going to sit around and listen to Amy Robinson say some things. My goodness. Isn't that a thing? There's a thing called the love sack, right?

Yeah, I have one on the other side of the basement that was really comfortable until the dog decided it was her bed. And now it is, there's enough fur on there to make another dog. Oh, don't worry, Amy. We'll let you talk about. Yeah, don't worry. We're just, we're pretty self-involved here. I totally feel you because I have a, I have a humongous beanbag chair in my office, but it is now my dog's bed. Like, that's where they lie.

all day long. Yeah, they take what they want. It's their world. You're just living in it, right? It's true. Correct. Speaking of living in this world, I can't live in this world without Red Fraggle's recommendations, so she's here.

It's Amy, and we're glad to have you here for another edition of Read This. You'd probably get something cool for us this week. What are we doing? I do. I do. Well, you know, so I'm honestly, I'm still on California time. I just came back from a trip to San Francisco. Bay area with my son because he's getting ready to start applying for colleges and he wanted

to go out there. We toured Stanford and UC Berkeley and so that's my my voice is a little hoarse because I'm still a little like, uh, I just traveled. Did you witness any, uh, witness any college debauchery of any sort? Any kind of weirdness? No, no, but UC Berkeley, the day that we were there was move in day. So we witnessed lots of parents like very fuss. you know, kind of moving their kids' stuff in and everything. It was kind of fun. My kids all did local colleges. So for us, it was never very fussy.

It was like, you're up the street. See you later. Have a good day. If you need anything, let me know. Mom will bring you a casserole. Yeah, basically. Happened more time than I'd like to admit. But anyway, so a good trip, though, had a good time up there.

Oh, yeah, we did. And we got to drive around San Francisco a little bit. we went and did one of those silly touristy things where it was called like the House of Illusions or something like that where they have all kind of little optical illusions painted on the wall and the floor and then you can they if you position your camera just right it'll it'll look like you're flying or being attacked by a giant crab or something like that yeah so we had a good time with that and then we did there's an escapeology out there which is the same escape room that we did with Tanner in Vegas. Oh, cool. Is that the Star Trek? Yeah, yeah. But we didn't, you know, we didn't do the Star Trek one. My son and I did one.

It was like, I don't know, there was like a deadly virus that some mad scientist was releasing or something. Perfect. But we did it and it was just me and him. So I felt like that was, that was pretty cool. You know, we actually managed to finish it on time with just the two of us. Yeah. And you can make it if you try, if it's just the two of you. So hold on a second.

I love me an escape room. It's fun. So do you, did you, this is, I haven't realized that was like a, um, like a brand that did other stuff in other states. Yeah. I didn't know that. That's cool. I didn't either until I got there. And I was like, oh, sold. Let's go there. You know. So. That's great. Well, uh, it was good fun. Yeah. Good. Well, you know, higher education. Higher prices. Everything's good. It's all good in the end. Oh, yeah. Tell me about it. Uh, and I'm sure he will just be studious. No partying. He'll just spend all his time in class. It'll just spend all his time in class. It'll, it's. It'll, he'll, it'll be fine. No way. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's going to be great. Yeah, it will be. All right. Well, let's get to your book recommendation this week. What do you go? So I got a clip for you guys. If you want to go ahead and play the clip. It's more. I'm going to warn everybody. It's more Will Wheaton. Oh, more Will Wheaton. All right. You know, more Will Wheaton is just like watching more Star Trek. It's fine. Here you go. This is what it is. I don't even know who'll read this. I guess someone will find it eventually maybe 100 years from now. For the record, I didn't die on Soul 6. Certainly the rest of the crew thought I did, and I can't blame them. Maybe there will be a day of national mourning for me, and my Wikipedia page will say, Mark Watney is the only human being to have died on Mars.

And it'll be right, probably, because I'll surely die here, just not on Soul 6 when everyone thinks I did. Let's see. Where do I begin? The Ares Program mankind reaching out to Mars to send people to another planet for the very first time and expand the horizons of humanity blah blah blah the aries one crew did their thing and came back heroes they got the parades and fame and love of the world aries two did the same thing in a different location on mars they got a firm handshake and a hot cup of coffee when they got home aries three well that was my mission okay not mine per se commander lewis was

in charge. I was just one of her crew. Actually, I was the very lowest ranked member of the crew. I would only be in command of the mission if I were the only remaining person. What do you know? I'm in command. So hold on. I love hearing about Mark Watney, the dentist on Seinfeld. Oh, yeah, the Watney. Dr. Watney and his... Dr. Watney. What's his name? Oh, it's Watley. It was Whitley. Yeah. It's close enough. So this sounds like the Martian to me. Is that what this is? It is the Martian. It indeed is the Martian. Yes. So if and I realize this is one that, you know, I try to pick books that maybe not everybody has read or heard of. But in this case, if you've only ever seen the movie, I definitely recommend you check out the book because he gets, there is a lot more precarious, bad shit that happens to him that doesn't, that, you know, they had to cut out in the, movie just for time and it's it's stressful it's a it's a good read i second that i devoured this thing at the mandalay bay pool over a three-day weekend uh like the physical book not the not the

audio book which i kind of like oh man the audiobook with uh will wheaton sounds awesome but this yeah i picked this book up and i could not put it down it was so well written yeah he's awesome by the way i don't know if you guys know this but the author of that book andy weir i always bring this up, was the chief programmer on Warcraft II. And that's awesome. Like going from like program and video games to writing like this international bestselling freaking novel and a follow up. Like it's amazing. I just think that's the coolest thing. I did not know that. And Warcraft 2 is one of my favorite things in the world. In fact, my son, speaking of my son, he had the, let's see, the lack of wisdom to challenge me to, like, head-to-head Warcraft to recently. And I demolished him.

I was like, honey, this is what I did when I was in college. Like, no, no, dear. What's your, what is it, APR? No, what is actions per APM? What's your APM? Yeah, what's your APN? I don't even know. We were just going based on, okay, let's just go through the scenarios, because all we could do, we could find an emulator, right? So we couldn't actually play, you know, multiplayer. But, yeah, so we played over this emulator. God, I forgot how much I loved just the non-world of and just the regular Warcraft and Starcraft playing against the AI who can build and take over the other one quicker. I forgot about all that and how much I loved that. Oh, my God, it's fantastic. I need to get back and play game of that. See how good I think I... And you have to play with the sound on because

Like, the sounds are great. I always play as the orcs, and they're hilarious, like, or hoary, you know? Like, I mean, it's like, when you build a... Yeah, exactly. And if you keep clicking on them, then they say funny stuff. Yeah, right, the peons, yeah. Yeah, oh, I love that. So, anyway, yeah.

But, yeah, he, he, I even gave him the cheat codes, man, because I know all the cheat codes. And I was like, here you go, have the cheat codes. and he still didn't beat me. So, yeah, I was like, yeah, old ladies can still do stuff. Drop the mic on him. Right. I don't want to challenge him to Fortnite. He'll destroy it.

Sure. Sure. He's also good, more proof speaking of the book. And this book came out in 2011, I believe, and was picked up by the publisher that year and then made widely available that year. Anyway, this is a guy who would have been, so he's 50 this year. He just turned 50. So he'd have been 40, 41.

when he had his first success. So if you're at home and you're like a 27-year-old aspiring author and you think, ah, none of this is working out. I feel like my days are done. Yeah, give it some time. Give it some time. You never know. He's got a new book this year or last year called, uh, crap.

What's the name of that book? Uh, Project Hail Mary. I've heard good things. Kind of want to check that out as well. Anyway, uh, I didn't know that Will Whiten did the read for The Martian. That's pretty rad. I didn't either until I went to go get a clip for it. I was like, oh, look at that.

We get more Will Wheaton narrating. He's just narrating everything. Yeah. His new one says, Project Hill Mary, 2021 science fiction novel, blah, blah, blah, blah. Set in the near future, it centers around a junior high school teacher named a returned astronaut named Rylan Grace, who wakes up from a coma, afflicted with amnesia. He gradually remembers he's been to the Tau CETA solar system, 12 years from Earth, and finds the means of reversing solar dimming event that could cause the extinction of humanity. That sounds great. I'm in.

Let's do it. I'm in. Yeah. Sounds like fun science fiction to me. How cool would it be, though, to go from, I'm helped make Warcraft too, but I'm also bored with that. So I'm going to write a book now. Oh, Ridley Scott wants to make a movie.

Sweet. Let's go ahead and do that. Yeah. Like, what an amazing. Yes, please. That's amazing. Such a cool thing. And the movie is awesome.

That guy got the Mary Sue of authors, right? I mean, he's like, let me try my hand at this and then blame. But it's great. And also, you guys are absolutely right. The book is required reading, I think. It's very good. It really is. It's so engrossing.

Nice one. I think it's a well-known one, but I think it's a 100% fine to recommend those here and there. I think that's awesome. Yeah. They don't all have to be unknowns. So go check it out. Available everywhere, as you might guess, with a book that popular. And Amy, it's always good to talk to you.

Do you have anything else going on you want to tell people about? Oh, yeah. So I'll just second the little reminder there that you should, you should post that that video oh i heard from kevin he wants me he wants me to hold off he says he's got a he found an error and he's going to fix it then send me the new one so oh okay all right all right so i'm putting that up later then i then i will remind you then that you were going to send us some swag for the uh the the the meetup in uh and i am too i've got this is this is the box actually i'm probably going to do a bigger box but this is the box i'm going to be filling up probably

to send a whole bunch of swaggy to you guys. What is the, do you know the total number yet, Amy? I think right now, no, I don't because Chuck is as managing all of that. So hold on. I'll uncover one ear and maybe he'll shout it from the other room. Okay. But yeah, I don't know. I think we have, you know, we definitely still have room, by the way.

So if anybody listening wants to come to the Asheville meetup in September, I promise it's not like some orgy, you guys. if you live out that way, they're not weirdos. They're all really nice people. Chuck comes and tells me it's about 20 people. Okay. I'm going to send you stuff worth about 30 just in case worth, not worth 30, enough for 30. Worth 30 pesos.

No, it'll be 30 items. 30 duck farts. 30 duck farts. Dirty, dirty, 30 duck farts. When is this? Okay, so it's the 30th of that month, right? No. The fourth or no, I'm sorry, seven through the tenth or seven?

The 7th through 10th, yeah. It's like, it's the second weekend in September. It's not Labor Day. It's after that. It's the same. Yeah. It's the night through the 11th. No, I'm sorry.

Night through the 11th. I'm sorry, you're right. The timing is poopy. Exact timing of D23 Expo. I'll be exactly on the opposite side of the country for me. That's right. But we'll be thinking of you while I'm also somewhere else. And what was the other thing I was going to tell you about that?

I was going to tell you that I can't remember. Oh. I'll say this, and I have no basis for any scientific proof of this, but I think our southern contingent of listeners, some of the nicest people on this planet. Oh, for sure. So all I'm saying is if you're just a little bit north, even if you think you're full-on Yankee, get down there, experience firsthand people like Amy and others who are just the nicest people in the South. We always got these stereotypes. Everybody in the South got there going wrong, but they're not like that. they're really nice all right so get more than 30 people's what i'm saying all right

uh amy that's always good to have you on i hope uh things go well good luck to your son and uh we'll talk to you next week thanks bye bye oh it's not working oh no oh hi get no no sorry sorry as some i didn't mention earlier we're going to be uh the show's going to be a little short today not not a ton but a little. So we won't have Wendy today and we'll have her next week. And yes, Brian and I will have the results of our little test thing we're doing and all that. That's right, our Gallup dilly. So that's still happening

next week. But today a little bit short, I have a appointment I can only get today. So that's the reason it's happening. Anyway, so we're going to, yeah, so we're going to do there'll only be a single song today. So we're going to just go ahead and do news. Then when we finish that, we'll see what we're at. And then we'll do, we'll do

the final song. Okay, everybody. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Now this. I don't watch the news. It's the news, and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by Coverville today. Doing a cover story for a band that I have never done a cover story for. In 1,410 episodes of Coverville, I've never done a Jethro tall cover story.

Coo Scott. Oh, sitting on a park bench. There we go. Do do, do. Eyeing something, something. It's pretty gross. Do do, do, do girls with bad intent or Brad intent. Hey, Brad.

Hey, Brad. What do you intend to do, Brad? Anyway, sorry. Go ahead. Yeah, so, you know, there's the one song Scott knows. But then there's also songs like Locomotive Breath and Bungle in the Jungle and so many more other Jethro Toll songs out there. Plus a cover that he did, that Ian Anderson did of The Thin Ice by Pink Floyd. Let's see. Hymn 43, Teacher, Mother Goose. Oh, my God, there's so much stuff.

Thick is a brick. Yeah, thick as a brick. Anyway, listen, you know, one of the greatest heavy metal bands in history, according to the MTV Music Awards or Grammys or whatever it was. Heavy metal? Or they beat Metallica. Yes, there was that whole Grammy thing where Jethro Tull somehow beat Metallica. That seems wrong. They screwed that up.

For sure. Yes. Oh, well. There was somebody who really, it was the Grammys. Yeah, it was like, there we go. 1989, Jethro Toll beat Metallica for the first ever heavy metal Grammy. I'm sorry. They got the whole genre wrong.

A little bit wrong. Yeah, it's flute. And maybe they could have said rock with flute. That could have been the winner. That's fine. Right. Yeah. And tell me if you think more than one of these don't belong in this category.

Metallica and Justice for All. Jane's addiction, nothing's shocking. Nope, no. ACDC blow up your video. Sure. Yeah. Iggy Pop, cold metal. No.

Not heavy metal. And Jethro Tull, a crest of a name. Yeah, none of those, none of those except two belong on there. Yeah, and come on, between ACDC, bloop your video and Metallica's End Justice for All, uh, you give it to Metallica.

It's no contest. Yeah. And you know what? Nothing wrong with ACDC. In fact, they swing more of the kind of just good old fashioned rock and roll side of things. But, but, but if that's your category, A, put more, put more heavy metal in the category. And B, give it to the one. that deserves it. Like Metallica. Nothing wrong with Jeff Role. They're fine. They can look at little girls with bad intent all they want. Well, they shouldn't, but they can.

Anyway, that sounds like a fun show. Anyway. So, yeah, Jethro O'Tall. If you don't like Jethro Toll, you don't think you're familiar with Jethro Toll, great. Perfect, perfect opportunity to listen and hear some of their songs done by artists you know, or maybe you'd like to know bands like Clutch and the Canells, Morris Portnoy and George and Emerson Paris and more. Today, 1 p.m. Mountain Time, Twitch.TV

slash Coverville. Excellent. Here's our first story. It's about a monkey and I like monkeys. So we tell monkey stories when we can here on the show. Darn right. Anytime we get a monkey. Anytime we get a chance. I always wanted a monkey. A monkey. Monkey in California Zoo called 911.

Yeah. Called 911. Okay. That's what monkeys can do. It was after it found the zoo's cell phone. I guess there's a general cell phone that gets passed around the zoo. Really? Okay. The zoo has a cell phone. I know, that is weird, isn't it?

It's a little weird. The new Matt Damon movie, My Zoo has a cell phone. Yeah, can't wait. That sequel's a long time coming. I bought a cell phone from my zoo. Do you ever see that movie? I never saw it. No.

Never saw I bought a zoo. I hear it's bad. I hear it's really bad. Yeah. The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office said it received a 911 one call that disconnected and when dispatchers attempted to call the number back, nobody picked up. That's the one thing monkeys are bad at is picking back up. They're not good at. Just known for being shitty your players. Always goes to voicemail with those damn monkeys.

That's right. Duties, duties. Deputies were then sent to the cell phone's location to determine if assistance was required. They arrived at the address of the zoo, sorry, the zoo to you offices near Paso Robles, Robles, Robles. But nobody there had. made the call. Oh yeah? I know someone who did. Quote, was someone trying to make us look like a monkey's uncle, says the sheriff on

Facebook? Hilarious. Hilarious. It was then determined the zoo's capuchin monkey named Root, or route, was likely the caller. That's a weird name, root. Route. I mean, it's spelled like Route 66. Yeah.

Do you say route or root 66? I say Route 66 because of the song. Yeah, same. I think. I think that's why it's... But if you tell me, oh, I think I might have to take another route. I think I do pronounce that route. Yeah, you'd never say, I'm going to take another root. That's weird.

Yeah, I... Sounds wrong. I don't, but I don't think that's... I don't think it's weird. It just is whatever, for whatever reason. It doesn't roll off the tongue for me like route. Same. Oh, yeah, it might have to route me another way.

Now, when you say root, like root 66. Yes. But then you say, how do you say roof again? You say rough. I say roof. There's a hole in the roof. You do like a root. Okay, I do. You say roof.

Yeah, roof. It's the rest of the world that says rough or roof. I know, and I can't do that. Yeah, that's roof. Yeah. I also say, I also say wolf. Yeah, it's a wolf. I don't, I don't leave the L out.

Yeah. Like some people do. How about both, both? Do you put the bell in L there? I don't, I'd leave the L out of that word as well. Oh, English. Kevin Kipper says, say solder. I'd say solder.

Soder. I don't say Soder. I don't say Solder. I don't say Solder. I don't say Solder. Let me solder that wire to the board. Yeah, it's solder. Sottering iron.

No one says soldering iron. Who does that? Lennon A, do you talking Donaway says rough? He does. Somebody says rough in our circles, and I can't remember who. Probably. Randy says woof. Oh, yeah, no, we had a wolf come through our community the other day, and it ate all of our chorizo.

When I was in Texas, eastern western Texas growing up, we moved catwoman. I moved Catwoman. We were just a stone's throw from Albuquerque. Oh, Sam's in the chat. You should pass that on to your husband. Please do. Please do. Oh, that's funny.

Holy shit. Oh, my gosh. I don't know if I can go on. I can. I can go on. Anyway. Oh, really? Rainbow Bright says that I say rough for roof.

Look, if I'm talking about, oh, yeah, it's up on the roof. No, I can't. I feel like it rolls off the tongue from me. Roof, it's up on the roof. It's up on the roof. Where have you been on the roof? I'm on the roof. Where's the snow?

Oh, it's all on the roof. Yeah, we say, both of us say roof. Oh, but Jeannie's confirming. Apparently, I do say rough. Ruff. Rough? I probably, I might say, I could, I'll concede that I might say rough. Okay.

We'll give. We'll give the chat that. Yeah, maybe. There's a hole in the, well, if I do that one, though, it's the, the quote is there's a hole in the roof. There's a different of the roof. Yeah. Rough.

Anyway. Rough. Rough. I think you can get away with either one. It's a fluid language. What do you, the drink that's made by A&W, how do you pronounce that? Root beer. Yeah, I say root beer.

I never say root beer. I don't say root beer. Yeah, it's like, you guys do have any root beer? Root beer, root beer, yeah. Got to pull that thing out by the roots. Yeah, Oot. Always Oot. Yeah, yeah.

Unless I'm saying out in Canada. They do make a fine cream soda, yes. Yeah, that's fine. It's fine. I don't like cream soda. Do you like cream soda? I do like cream soda. I feel like I'm eating a dessert, foamy dessert or something.

It is, you know what? It needs to be cut with vodka and butterscotch schnops, but yes. Butterscotch. It doesn't sound, I mean, I never had scotch. That's how you make butter bear, my friend. Vanilla vodka, cream soda, and butterscotch schnaps. That is your, that is your Hogwarts buttercream right there. Wow.

Really? I mean, that is that kind of what they're describing? Is that the drink? No, that is how you simulate what the kids are, I don't think the kids are drinking butterscotch and snaps. I mean, I hope they're not. I don't know. Hermione, I feel funny.

All right. Next news story. Anyway. Restaurant, I want to go here. There's this restaurant run entirely by robots. Robots. Entirely, like not just on the front of it or just, you know. Like there's, because there's a sushi place here that has robots that'll take you to your table.

Right. And deliver your food. But this one is like entirely by robots. Yeah. And this isn't even like a lot of the robots you see in Japan. I can't stop saying robots now. Robots, we only say because it's funny. We're not actually meaning it everybody.

No, no. We know it's robots. We know. Robots. My dad said robot for sure. He was definitely into that generation of robot. Oh, I did. You're right.

Look at you. Kazama smokers. I did. I went to a robot restaurant in Boston. There was like a bowl, a restaurant where they make bowls. It was actually developed by MIT, and it's like,

here's a rice bowl with beans and this and that and pork and all this stuff. But there's still human people that take your order and hand and take the food off of the robot. Now I'm not sure I'm trying to say it on purpose. The robot. takes the food off of the robot and hands it to you. I think robot's just so funny, it's hard on to. It is so fun.

It's so stupid. Maybe we should try and bring it, like, bring it back. Okay, yeah, let's do it. Robbins. Yeah, I'm in. Let's do it. My dad will stop the uprising. Yeah, for sure.

So here's the deal. This place is called... Or hasten its arrival. Yeah. This is called the Mezzle, Mesley, mesley. Okay? It's in San Francisco. And it says here, it's not the first automates.

restaurant to roll out there, but at least according to its three co-founders, it is the first to remove humans entirely from the on-site operation equation. The fully robot-run restaurant begins taking orders and sliding out Mediterranean grain bowls. Once again, the bowls.

Oh, yeah, okay. By the end of this week. They can't identify crosswalks and they can only make Mediterranean bowls. Damn straight. They're celebrating the grand opening on August 28th at the Spark Social, wherever that is. it says startup tales oldest time blah blah blah let's see I'm trying to find the part about

here it is uh where is it okay entrepreneurial minds decided to do something about it combining their conventionally aligned skills uh with software and artificial intelligence experts and robotics uh wonderkind some dude they also have an aerospace engineer involved and uh basically they came up with a way to do this so if you want to go have 100% delivered to you buy robot food prepared delivered to you you pay them all of it the entire process no people no no one to complain to Karen who's Karen going to complain to well not even then you can't even see the robots basically like it is it is a it's a giant vending machine basically that sounds where you place your order and the food comes out the side and uh we just

assume it's robots in there but that's that's how you do it right like you you completely eliminate the ability for people to interact and screw up the robots you give them five things to choose from that they can customize but it's still pretty much like a you know it's a slightly customizable vending machine yeah it's a big giant vending machine and if you think of it that way everybody's cool using vending machines i'm fine with this i would like i'd if there were one here i'd go oh i'd do this do it in a heartbeat not a not a problem problem. They don't talk about how much this costs. Oh, let's see. Let me find the, um, mesley, mesley.

You know, like it says, they make some references to how expensive food is in San Francisco, but they don't say how much. $6.99. What? That's reasonable. We could do that. Yeah. Oh, look at this. They show the, they show like the, uh, oh yeah, it's opening March, August 28th that's Spark Social in San Francisco. Yeah. Oh, where that is. I need to, I need to go to Spark Social. God, I was walking right by there. the other uh when i was out there in geez almost a year ago holy cow last when i was in uh san francisco for chris brown's birthday it was september you could have gone if it was this week

you could have been there yeah i could have yeah well no it doesn't open for another 10 days what's i'm saying oh oh you're right 28th is there a fifth day yeah yeah uh yeah i'd eat it no problem yeah zero it looks great wow i would eat that food. Someone down there go there and tell us what you think. Please do. Is it worth our time next time we're in the San Francisco Bay Area? Here's a story

for you. Queen Elizabeth's Olympic stunt double was jailed for attack on girlfriend. Oh, so much to break down. A lot to unpack. Queen Elizabeth has an Olympic stunt double. First of all, I just want to focus on the first five words of this headline.

So here's the breakdown. Gary Connery. Or you ever do yous your car keys? Was convicted of grievous bodily harm without intent at Oxford Crown Court on Tuesday. That's interesting without intent. I guess there's no motive, whatever. In addition to a prison sentence for the attack, which took place in October 2020,

the judge also imposed a restraining order. The spokesman said, quote, it is abundantly clear that you have shown absolutely no remorse for what happened and except no fault on your behalf. says Nigel Day judge who told a 50th year old Connery according to the PA media news agency

I'm Judge Nigel Day I like that name Nigel Day Hello I'm Judge Nigel day At the opening ceremony for the London 2012 Olympics Here's what the media says He stood in for the British monarch

In a skit in which the queen met James Bond played by Daniel Craig before they both appeared to get in the helicopter and fly to the Olympic Stadium Viewers then saw what appeared to be the queen and Bond, which were, in fact, Connery and a fellow stuntman who was playing Bond parachuting into the stadium.

So that's what it was. I love that the stunt double, the woman that James Bond pushes out of the helicopter, I don't really pushes, but jumps out of the helicopter his last name is Connery. That is fantastic. It is great that his name is Connery.

And Tim's a douchepper just posted the video, by the way, in our chat room. Oh, let's take a look of this. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, wait. Did it do. Do it do it do.

Wait, how come that didn't work? That's weird. Open Linkin' new window. What's wrong here? Okay, there we go. All right, Chad, check us out. Oh, yeah, I remember this bullshit. Yeah.

So that's that dude as Queen Elizabeth. Yeah. That's actually kind of a funny stunt. It is. It's great. That was the last opening ceremonies I watched. Oh, really? Yeah.

I still like those. I still like the technology that they use for those. I don't dislike them. I just haven't, I don't know, I couldn't be bothered this last time. I don't know why. I don't know why I was, I just was not in the mood to watch that Chinese one. Just couldn't do it. Well, you know, I don't know why.

We weren't fans at the time. I don't, I haven't zero problem with China, been there a couple times. Like, they're fine. It was just, I don't know. Yeah, but maybe they were under fire for treatment of their citizens and stuff. Yeah. But what I'm saying is I wish I had a high-minded reason like that. I don't.

I just wasn't into it. Oh, there's Philip walking. Philip. No stump person for Philip. I'll tell you that right now. Anyway. What did I? So I read on air lighted something, Luke Sightwalker is saying.

Yeah, earlier I said, I said, where is it? Oh, where did it go? Oh, yeah, this one I said it was the restaurant was opening on the 28th. And someone in the chat goes, right on air lights, I flashed it. Oh, gotcha. Okay. Because I'd said that And then you came back later

And said, oh, it opens on the 28th I think that was all right Oh, no, because you said next week So I'm like, no, it doesn't open until the 28 But then I think I probably did do an extra Yeah, it was before that, but yes All right, moving on. Hey, check this out.

A dog has tested positive for monkey pox. Oh, shit! Well, now it's dogpox, isn't it? Maybe. Maybe. Which names? I guess you want to be careful with your pets at like dog parks

because if they share water. Oh, yeah. They can give it to each other if they get the thing. But this is a, this particular case is the first case documented, uh, confirmed that transferred from a person to their dog. Um, and even though a lot of this spread is like,

it's really intimate contact that you're getting this from is the thing. So lots of macin out or doing the dirty with whoever doesn't matter. Um, that's how this thing is spread. And it's also surfaces and junk like that. So he probably, you know, some guy got it on.

with his girlfriend, got the pox, went over to his dog and went, hey, ah, you're a great dog, and rubbed all over his face and let him lick him and everything, and now the dog has it, the poor freaking thing. Did you see pictures of what this looks like on your face? You've got to see this. Oh, not on the face.

Yeah, you got to see this. I don't know how this will land on you. If you're going to like this or not. Oh, God. Is this picture of the dog on Yahoo News, the actual dog that has it, or is that just I think that's just a dog. The saddest picture of a dog they could find in their clip art library.

I think it's just a dog. I could be wrong. Oh, my God. I know, right? So this is a guy who got it on his face. And he shows July 11th through, let's see, the August 1st. And that's just like the road it took. Honestly, July 21st is where I would have been like, oh, shit.

Yeah, exactly. I mean, July 18th, not so good either. No, none of this is good. none of this is good so you don't want the you don't want the monkey pox is what I'm saying yeah and he's he's smiling as of August 1st but I'd still say maybe you want to give it till the 15th for the smiley photo

don't go don't do the after photo until there's no trace of the left but he does he's looking up though you know he's feeling a little better he's oh right he's feeling a little positive about it yeah yeah he might he might get there uh all right so watch out i am not touching anybody in Vegas are you

kidding me like nothing nobody nope me neither uh but that's your news we hope we've enjoyed the news because today that's all you get well watch the news uh here's the deal lots of shows coming up like brian mentioned coverville today at one o'clock yeah definitely tune into that watch that live couch party this weekend for friday uh friday's couch party we are going to watch kingpin kingpin for second the name left starring woody harrelson and the crazy uh quade and the weird old lady who Bill Murray. Yeah.

And the weird old lady. Easily the most strikingly memorable scene in the entire movie. Yes, exactly. My favorite moment in that movie is actually just a pure physical gag where he's hanging out with the Amish people and he's dressed that way, Woody Harrelson is. And he's only got one hand.

So his prosthetic hands down here and a dog gets and he's like, he's like yanking him. And at some point, the dog lets go and it's a simple pratfall but he just goes whack right in his own face with his hand it makes me laugh every freaking time

my favorite most memorable thing for me and I will absolutely guarantee that I'm getting this line wrong but it's Chris Elliot at the craps table going calling over a cocktail waitress saying yo top heavy give me two hot sake and sodas

and a tipperillo sioux plate something like that i know i'm getting the line run but it's something along those lines and i can't wait to see that line and get it right i mean even just you saying it is the essence of a chris elliott delivery that was exactly right i'm very excited to see this so that's tomorrow couch party patrons only check out details on the patreon which by the way is over at frogfants dot com or excuse me patreon dot com slash tms uh core tonight 5 p.m so watch for that also kim and i'll be putting a skim up this afternoon, probably around two.

I've been getting a lot of ads on Twitter about Wieners. What's that about? I don't know. Because it's not like you, you know, post about dogs rubbing their wieners on the couch cushions on Twitter at all or anything like that. I wonder if that did it. That might have done it. So I get this ad from bent carrot PD, okay? And it says a bent with, or say a bend with a bump in your erection might be parian, parian's disease, whatever that is.

Ask a urologist about PD and some, what they're selling here. click on let's see click for safety info and risk of penile fracture and then there's a picture of a dude who looks like a slim Ted Cruz staring down at a at a weird shaped carrot really a good carrot I don't know why this is happening no it's not the disease I just had trouble with a shanghai hooker yeah you did if you got this you did here I'll give you can see it I'll put in the thing it's I don't know why I'm getting those because I don't I don't I don't have that. Right angle.

I love your listings. No, I have the nicest people. I had conversations with people who paint cars, who, like, you know, do restorations, car restorations and stuff like that. That's cool. Love that. A dude who's directionally challenged, who lives in Southeast Aurora. I mean, it was, you know, I had great conversations with people yesterday. And sadly, none of them were wackadoos.

Well, let me tell you, you're having a conversation every day with someone who's directionally challenged. So, congratulations. I'm terrible at it. maybe if you drove more hot i drive all the time it didn't matter my whole life if the sun goes down i'm effed yeah i'm effed yeah even in this easy gridded out freaking utah thing we got going people are like oh meet us at 128th and fifth or whatever and i'm like shit even with phone help i'm still not great i'm bad at it interesting yeah i i honestly well you get the same situation right you've got mountains that are on one side i guess when

the sun goes down you can't see those mountains you don't know which Which way is east or west or north or south? Well, we have east and west mountains. And the problem with that is, it's not that I can't tell the difference between them, is that it's just like I'll get to a street and go, like, even with like a satellite thing on my phone, it'll go turn left on the upcoming her, her. And I'm like, this left or the next, wait, wait, the left after that. Like I just.

The left I'm currently at or the left that's like a block up that you're probably warning me about ahead of time. Yeah, there was a time. Me and my sister, Misha, are both really bad at this. And there was a time when her and I were supposed to go to a dinner and we got so lost. We were two hours late. Two hours. Anyway. Moving on.

We're done. Hey, play a song. You have a song. Yeah, you know who's not directionally challenged is Carol because she followed the directions and sent her request via the frogpants.com slash TMS link. If you have a request, send it there. I do need a couple more for next week, but, you know, give me your birthday requests, your anniversary requests, whatever.

Carol wrote in and said, Hi, TMS. Already, no S&B thing. Last year, my partner and I decided to finally forge ahead with our dream of moving from Silicon Valley to Amsterdam. We're in our early 30s, childless, and have no other attachments.

So why not? He quickly joined a company who could sponsor his visa. So on New Year's Eve, we said our goodbyes thinking I would join him soon. Boy, were we wrong? For us, 2022 is consisted of him navigating his new Dutch life alone. And me, spending four months job searching, and another four, dealing with visa headaches.

After countless hours of trying to stay connected through Final Fantasy 14, Lost Ark, and Tabletop Simulator, I'm finally reuniting with them on Friday the 19th tomorrow to start our new adventure together in the land of bicycles, tulips, and strupe waffles. And lots and lots of dope. To celebrate, I added that part, to celebrate I'm requesting any song related to the Netherlands and or new beginnings and any day that you have an opening will work. I'm not picky, just excited to hug the love of my life again

because I can definitely see why I like him. Oh, sign Carol. Oh, I like that. That is so cool. Well, Carol, and does she say his name? She doesn't, but so happy for the two of you to be reunited because it does feel so good. Let's get to your request.

You said basically anything related to the Netherlands. How about one of the most popular Dutch singers of all time, a singer named Anuk, or Anuk, A-N-O-U-K. I'm going to say Anuk. Sure. She's hugely popular out there, and she got together with Sarah Betten's, the lead singer of Kay's Choice,

for this cover of Live, the band Live, from the Lost Tracks album, Here is I Alone, an acoustic version, by Anuk and Sarah Bettins. Oh, that's awesome. I love that song. I love that band.

Thank you all for listening. We'll be doing stuff later. So check all that stuff out we talked about. And back on Monday with a brand new TMS. We'll see you then. It's easy enough to be wise. Measure these things by your brains. Sinking to eat and with you.
