Starting point is 00:00:50 Hard landing with Bobby and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. It just grosses me out. I don't like soup. I don't even like to see people eating. and I don't even like looking at it either because it's food-flavored water with just food chunks swimming in it.
Starting point is 00:01:09 The morning stream. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It is Tuesday, September 27, 2022. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian, Ivitt. Hi, Brian. Hi, hi, Scott.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Hi. Have you ever thought about soup that way? It's just floating food-flavored water with food chunks in it? I mean, can't you, couldn't you describe anything? Like, oh, gelato is just fruit-flavored mashed up ice. Oh, good point. you know what that's true it's uh boil everything down to that no pun intended but there's probably somebody out there though that well like this kid i assume he's real i found him on youtube but some you know
Starting point is 00:02:10 somebody out there looks at soup and goes gross this is just floating meat i guess but it ain't me yeah it's not me either i like this soup better yet bring me a bisque yeah big me a nice biske oh give me a sweater that the weather change i'm gonna sit out on the bed deck and i'm gonna eat me some bisque oh i'm gonna hold on I'm going to pretend it's cold out and I'm going to drink my coffee with my cup, my, both hands on my mug. Yeah, there's some kind of pumpkin spice in there maybe because that's what you do this time of year. Oh, okay, Brian doesn't do that. He doesn't put it out. I have pumpkin spice boba yesterday.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Tell me more. Tell me more. There's a boba tea place right around us called boba boba. Isn't there a boba place? Called boba something? Yeah. It's called boba boba. I don't know why there's no boba places.
Starting point is 00:02:57 I'm sure somebody's going to find us a link. But I don't know of any boba places that are called Boba Fett or something like that. Oh, why aren't there? Well, probably because it's copyright. Probably licensing, but maybe Boba. I can't even think of a good play on Boba Fett to use. Anyway, so it's, uh... Oh, here it is.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Arvada, Colorado, the only location, dude. For Boba Boba. Yeah. Wow. All right. They, they know me. I'm the norm of that place, by the way. When I walk in, all of the employees go, Brian!
Starting point is 00:03:26 I need to, like, record it. Oh, you should. should record that do that yeah yeah i want that i want that anyway all right so uh it was a black tea with um whatever dairy substitute they they use they don't use actual dairy there i found out uh with some pumpkin spice and then a little bit of unsweetened um whipped cream foam on top and gram cracker crumbles and then of course boba in the bottom sounds all right and yeah it might be a little much I think it's a little much
Starting point is 00:04:02 because I'm typically one of two things or one of three things I'm either a tarot Boba I'm a brown sugar or I'm an almond those are my three go-to flavors almond sounds like my jam
Starting point is 00:04:17 I would do that oh it's so good yeah if I could deal with those little balls which is the whole point of Boba I don't like those so you don't like little balls see that is that is like the cilantro of Asian drinks basically it's like you either hate those or you love them those little tapioca balls yeah a lot of people really love them i understand that i don't want to be smirch there i don't want to yuck they or yum but that just not
Starting point is 00:04:37 for me man yeah no it's it's and i would even go so far as to say if the line isn't 50 50 on people who hate versus love boba it's it might even be like 75% people who don't want round chunky things in their drink and 25% who say, oh, bring them on, bring on the weird black balls of chewy goodness. Well, the good news is that enough people like it that you have sustainable businesses that sell boba tea all the time.
Starting point is 00:05:05 So many, so many boba. Yeah, so many boba places. And for me, it's a drink that lasts a long time because, like, I'll take a sip, I'll get a couple boba in my mouth and I'll, you know, while I'm driving down the road, go, um-gum-gum-dum-dum-dum-dum-choo on the boba.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Like a, and I do it like a little hamster. Like, you know, like in my mouth, it's like the little hamster, jurbling, like, just nibbling on the, uh, the edges of the boba until it's, until it's gone. Num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, that's where you had me. Yeah, that's where you won me over with that. Yeah, yeah, if you didn't like boba before and now, you're hooked. Well, that's good. That sounds like a real sugary one you had, though, and I don't know if that's good for you.
Starting point is 00:05:49 It seems bad. It's not. I don't want that. I don't want that. I don't want the sugary one. one and it was because not only did they have everything I described in there but then there was like a they do before they put the drink into the cup they do the weird Starbucks drizzle down the walls of the cup oh yeah yeah it was in the glass the whole time well my wife the caramel the pumpkin spice syrup was in the glass the little time my daughter
Starting point is 00:06:17 loves boba so I don't know if she's listening but she she's probably going to want to go get one of those now. So good job on that. Yeah. Oh, good. Well, you know, get the, get the typical ones I get or the, um, the low sweetness, uh, brown sugar or almond or taro. Nice. Terro is a root, right? It's the root. It's the purple root that Poi comes from, I believe. Oh, I didn't know that. I thought that was a purely, um, I guess, you know, there's a lot of Asian influence in Hawaii, obviously, but I thought Poi was purely a Hawaiian deal. But what do I know? I could be, I easily could be wrong, but I think that tarot is where. And I've never had poy either.
Starting point is 00:06:59 So I've had Hawaiian dishes. We've got a big Polynesian community here in the valley, and there's always cool places and events and things with great Polynesian food. They always have poe. I just never tried it. Should I try poe? You should try poe. Yeah, I was, I rather enjoyed poe.
Starting point is 00:07:17 We went to Hawaii to the, to Oahu, and there's a, the, the most boring name for a place, the Polynesian Culture Center, something like that. I can't hear it. It's such a boring name. I think that's it. I think that's exactly it. Polynesian culture center. That is where you went. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. But you go there and it's like, oh, no, you learn about, like, they've got all these performances and shows of Tongan culture and Samoa and all these other Polynesian locations, and not just Hawaii. And then at the end, there's a big luau, and they do the fire dancing and lots of pork and poy and... I'm pretty sure doesn't... I'll bet you guys did that then, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:58 I think the LDS Church owns the Polynesian Cultural Center. Oh, really? I think so. Am I have that wrong? Hold on. Oh, my God. It really is, yeah. It is the Polynesian Culture Center.
Starting point is 00:08:11 I remember the name. That might be why it's boring because it's a church thing or a church-owned thing. Well, it's just a boring name. the actual place is great if you've oh i was right corporation of the president of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints owns the polynesian culture center it's an lDS deal that's that's that's kind of funny i don't know why i find that funny but big church population there on the island there's there's quite the and like i said here in the valley there's so many cool Polynesian folks also there's this thing growing up now it might sound a little racist but
Starting point is 00:08:42 there's this thing growing up where if you had to pull a tree out i mean i've talked about this If you have to pull a tree out of your yard, you know, you've got a big gnarly tree going and you've got to pull it or even a stump or whatever. Oh, yeah. You always hire the couple Polynesian dudes, the Tongans, specifically Tongan dudes to do it because a many Tongans in Salt Lake. Oh, there's a ton of them. Yeah, there's a ton of them. You never want to have some like business run by a bunch of white dudes. You want to hire the two brothers that are Tongan who have a truck because they're going to charge you hardly anything and they're going to be really good at.
Starting point is 00:09:16 it. They're going to tear that thing out. It's going to be perfect. They're never going to have a problem. And you're going to spend less than like a hundred bucks. The Tongans rock when it came to pulling your, pulling your tree out. That was just a thing growing up. I don't know if that's still true, but growing up, we were always here that. It's like, oh, hire a Tongan. Don't have, don't have that guy to it. Hire a Tongan. It was really weird. Really weird. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. I mean, yeah, why not? Isn't the rock, uh, wait, he's not Tongan. Samo. Is he's Simone? Yeah. And that's the other thing. People think they're all together having a good time.
Starting point is 00:09:48 The Tongans and the Samoans, at least growing up, locally here, did not like each other. Really? Like warring factions. Kind of, yeah. So you'd have like, you know, dumb white guys like me that couldn't tell the difference, you know? It's like, oh, that's my Tongan friend. No, he's Simone or whatever.
Starting point is 00:10:04 But those two would just there was like fights in their high school. And I don't know what the deal was, but very tribal. And we love them. All right. Interesting. Hey, I got a question. It's like Australians versus New Zealanders. Yeah, there you go.
Starting point is 00:10:20 It's a little like that. Why those two places haven't gone to more war, I don't know. Or at least early on, like you said, hey, so you sound like you're from Australia. Now, I'm from New Zealand. I'm from New Zealand. You dick. All right, check this out. I was listening to a, or I was watching a movie trailer, and I had a question about the state of movie trailer voiceovers.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Now, keep in mind. this was a horror movie, so it's entirely possible. This is that, this is what they do for horror movies now, and I just don't see a lot of trailers. But I'm going to play just a piece of it, so you can hear it, and then we'll talk about it, okay? So here's what this guy sounded like. Here you go. Only in theater. Special previews Thursday at 7 p.m.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Get tickets now. Only in theater. It's so, it's so, it's so nasal. Yeah, it's just. Only in theaters. Are they even saying theaters? Is it even sound like theaters? People are out of luck.
Starting point is 00:11:15 This Thursday, at 40. Only in theater. I don't like it. Yeah, no, that's, that's not from the new Pixar film, right? No. See, watch onward, only in theaters. Right, exactly. So it must be genre specific.
Starting point is 00:11:32 I think so, yeah. I think he's somebody, when I was talking about this yesterday, a couple of people online said, that's a dude who does a lot of horror movie bumpers. So maybe this is a thing now. This is for the movie Smile, which I, Oh, God, we've seen so many previews for that. Like, when we, like, the last few movies we've seen in the theater have all shown us a preview for small. We're like, oh, my God, just get this over with already.
Starting point is 00:11:57 It was kind of like that for Nope. We really like Nope, but up until we saw Nope, it was every, because it was like all of the Oscar nominees were showing previews for Nope. It's like, okay, we get it. We want to see Nope. We don't want to see any more previews. It's easy to overdo that. They've got to stop doing that. Yeah, they do.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Like, I get it. You want to have the word out, but maybe you're over, you know, you can't flood us. And I don't want to be the guy who, like, times it so that I'm walking into the theater after the previews and having to step over all the people who've got their recliner seats out and stuff like that. Plus, I like previews. I just don't want to see the same ones, like eight times. Like, four times, great. Sure. That, that, I'll decide if I'm going to see your movie.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Like that one with, oh, shoot, who is it? It's called the Beast, or just maybe it's Beast. Get the one where Idraselba fights a tiger or whatever? Yes, Idriselba and Charlito Copley, Charlottockeko Cotophony. That's the one. There you go. That's it. I said it wrong.
Starting point is 00:12:58 You totally. He turned into a District 9 monster. Yeah, I know that guy. Mad Murdoch, mad boy Murdoch, or whatever they call him in the A-Team. Sadly, it's not a movie featuring Beast starring Kelsey Grammer. That would be great, wouldn't it? That would be great. You know what? I want a movie. Get Nux and Kelsey Grammer together and do like a lifetime version of the Beast.
Starting point is 00:13:21 And let's go ahead and have him when he's young. Nicholas Holt is who I'm thinking of. I only thought of Nucks for some reason. And then later on it becomes the Kelsey Grammar version because both of those guys played great versions of Beast. And I would like more Beast. You know? There's nothing wrong with that. To say what you want about the Fox era of X-Men and how it kind of petered out toward the end. Yeah. Say what you want. But those two guys, great cast. think great actors nothing wrong with it i'd i'd say that all right and i'm trying to think if there's a better example but uh fastbender great young magneto and um agreed uh what's his face great old magnito yeah wanted kid guy uh glass not glass uh fury or whatever the hell he was called uh great great young and i'michel thank you great uh great young and old and i'd say uh great young and i'd say uh great
Starting point is 00:14:14 young and old Xavier, but other than that, you know, Patrick Stewart and then, uh, what, McElroy, that's it. Maceroy, McCoy, McCoy, McGremyg, uh, not McElroy. McElroy. McElroy. Roy McElroy. No, the kid's name. Ah, shit.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Played the young, uh, Professor X. McGroin, that's it. McGroin, yeah. The first name Holden. Yeah, McAvoy. Yeah, McAvoy. Yeah, James McAvoy. Yeah, James McAvoy.
Starting point is 00:14:43 He's awesome. I like that guy. That's great casting. But I'm trying to think, is there any other, are there any other young versus old X-Men actors where both actors, both choices were really, really good? Oh, geez. And I guess you could say what, Rebecca Romaine and Jennifer Lawrence.
Starting point is 00:14:59 They were fine. I mean, they're just the same age kind of, which is weird. I mean, they kind of are, yeah, right. I don't mean the actors are because obviously there's a difference, but they play the same age. Like, it's not really that different. So that always threw me a little bit. Um, who else even was there?
Starting point is 00:15:16 Besides Beast, uh, oh, Scott, I guess Scott, Scott Summers played by, yeah, unmemorable young Scott Summers. I mean, you know, what's his face? Marsden was a, yeah, adequate Scott Summers. And the new one was the, the, the, the VR movie kid, um, can't think of his name. Right. Or the movie from, uh, Ready Player 1. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I can't think of his name from mud. Vicarious ether, I would, I would, I totally are you. on Gene Gray. I think Famke Jansen is a great Gene Gray, but I think that Stark what is Sansa Stark was not a great Gene Gray. Yeah, I didn't like her in that.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Yeah. Just the wrong cast. Sophie Turner, thank you. Sophie Turner's fine. I'm not this is not a good choice. Oh, well, she's red-headed. Let's make her Gene Gray. No, you can, you can, you know, you can pick the red actress and give them red. Way better choices out there than that. That's just a bad for sure. For sure. For sure. Real quick here.
Starting point is 00:16:15 So the bigger question, the longer question is this. Oh, yes. So this guy right. This guy right here. Only in theater. Do you think in his real life, he's like, pass me the salt? Where's the remote? I can't find the remote.
Starting point is 00:16:28 It's usually in the seat here. It's sour peanut cheese on my Chipotle place. That way he orders food. Yeah. That's the only, exactly. Double calf, extra shot latte with a. I want to. spend time with him. I just want to know. I miss, I miss Ray LaFontaine, man. I mean, that's, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:50 that's a voice that we grew up with in movie trailers. It's a Don or Ray? I think it was Don. I'm sorry, Don LaFontaine. That guy was great. He just established the norm. There's a musician named Ray Fontaine or Ray LaFontaine and I always get the two confused. Yeah, he's the beginner of the in the world, in a world, that guy. In a world. Like he is the creator of In a world. That guy was great. There's a very good documentary about him floating around somewhere that I don't know the name of, so this won't help anyone. But if he can find it, it's great it's very good uh all right we got an email real quick here from it's called i know that voice or something like that that's it that's it yeah and they had a bunch of people but he was like
Starting point is 00:17:24 the core of it it was the core of that movie yeah that was really good um okay so i'm gonna play this here send and receive email rusty nails and uh 102 in the chat we know him he's always in here he uh sent us an email regarding the cruise thing and the whole like uh single lane highway at the bottom of all cruise ships. Oh, yeah, right. He said, hey, I watched The Secret Life of the Cruise. I think that's an excellent show. Thanks for recommending it to us.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Well, you're welcome. It is very good. It's just very informative. I liked it. Anyway, in regards to the main transportation corridor that runs through the length of the ship, it is called the I-95 in the show, but they never said if it was true of all cruise ships. I believe that the reason that ship would use that interstate name is because it's based out of Miami.
Starting point is 00:18:07 And Interstate 95 runs through the entire length of the eastern seaboard of the the U.S. from Miami to Canada, much like that corridor on the fourth deck. Love the show, though. Rusty Nails. Good point. I thought the narrator dude said common to all cruise ships, modern cruise ships, that they had something like this. And I wouldn't be surprised if they all had something like this, especially newer ones. But good point. They didn't really say that. So I was spreading misinformation, Brian. Well, according to behind the scenes on a cruise ship on matadornetwork.com. I don't know what this is.
Starting point is 00:18:43 The I-95 is everything. While the I-95 is one of the biggest highways in America, it's also a specific hallway on every cruise ship. The I-95, as it's really called, is located on deck zero, and it's where workers spend their days running beneath your feet. So it sounds like it's all ships. It might be all ships.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Who knows? Maybe it's all ships that are registered from Miami, you know? It could be, or if they're all, maybe they call it something different on other ships, but think about the advantages here. You're talking about a design advantage that they would all want to use because you need to be able to get
Starting point is 00:19:16 from stem to stern, you know, bow to back, whatever they call it. Very quickly, you need food services to move food, tons of food to this section really quickly. If there's an emergency, you need to be able to get over there
Starting point is 00:19:29 and get up there, you know, like I think they probably all have it if I had to guess. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it is on this page, which is called behind the scenes on a cruise ship, secrets from the crew, Number one thing is the I-95, like talking about I-95. Two, living situation is dismal for the people who work on the ships.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Three, they nap like cats. They don't sleep overnight. They nap throughout the day so that they can put in a full day. Weird. They're ready for pirates is number five. Guests are entertainment. Wow. I bet they are.
Starting point is 00:20:01 The food is torture, number eight. And number 11, sex? Yes. Oh. oh so apparently a lot of uh oh a lot of cruise people maybe it's you know julian isaic or julian doc or whatever but uh they're all yeah julian doc on a cocaine uh bender yeah exactly so if you've wanted to work on a cruise ship before maybe this sways you one way or the other the bad food but lots of sex sure be doing it all the time napping all the time eating bad food all the time that sucks that they get bad food when all the rest of the food for everybody's everybody else is good food maybe they maybe they get what's it didn't get taken at the buffet or something that's exactly what says it says the food is torture imagine eating leftovers every single day this the life of a crew member although there are ways around it the crew mess is full
Starting point is 00:20:52 of guest leftovers that a chef attempts to throw together in a special way I call this food mush as it's basically a bunch of items thrown into a pot and mixed around you'll often find workers doing everything they can to hit up the guest buffet because the crew mess is unbearable oh my gosh that sounds bad well they didn't finish the uh peach cobbler and the suck attach so let's just put in a pot and stir it all together gross i'd feel bad for them now i didn't know this was the case at all that's a bummer right all right well they they it's only like 180 people or something that crew give them good
Starting point is 00:21:30 food yeah exactly i mean you've you know instead of giving them the leftovers and mixing them together just giving the leftover stuff from the buffets that you know and don't mix them all together like you know keep it in the same steamer trays let them i'll bet that's the logistical problem because they're like all right we're turning over breakfast into lunch we got to do it quick and all of this stuff gets just dump somewhere and then you mix it up and don't it's all got to go into one pot because we need the steam trays for other things yeah it's like a big dessert bowl full of mixed dessert things and then your other food that's awful now that's that's water with food floating in it there, kid, at the beginning of the show. Yeah, there you go. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Enjoy your soup. Yeah, enjoy your soup. It could be worse. He could work on a cruise ship. Well, there you go. That email was great, and we love your emails. Thank you, Rusty Nails for that. And we have some clarification on the end of it. So that's always good. If you'd like to send your emails in here, you can the morning stream at gmail.com. Hey, look, it's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. live on Kickstarter until the end of the month, Lichen Solomon's Odyssey Chapter 2, a beautifully illustrated
Starting point is 00:22:42 72-page graphic novel, continuing the story of the world's first werewolf. The book delves into the ancient Arabic folklore, mythology, and horrifying monsters. Comes out Thursday, while also touching on themes of PTSD and grief and opening the world up to magic. Please check it out and share it with others by going to lycanbook.com. That's LyscAN book. dot com. Very nice. Only in theaters. All right.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Why can't he just at least say, he can go low, go only in theaters. Instead, he's, only in theaters, and early moving my mouth. I need to take a shit. Only in theaters. I don't like it. Jill. Jill. Barry.
Starting point is 00:23:28 All right. There's your, there's your thing. Now we do the news. Pizza Hut, speaking of food. Sure. They have announced an Italian taco to rival the Taco Bell Mexican pizza. Bet it won't be as popular. I actually had Mexican pizza on Sunday, one of those from Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:23:46 I like those. Yeah. That was after, that was my third attempt at going to a Taco Bell to get food, by the way. Third attempt, what do you mean? Three consecutive days, three separate Taco Bells. First Taco Bell I showed up. I did the order on the app ahead of time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:03 I get there and the lobby is closed and it's dark. Yeah. And there's like a line 20 people deep in the, in the drive-thru. I'm like, well, shoot, I said I'd pick it up because when I placed the order in the app, it said, you can pick it up from the lobby. So I guess, all right, I'll get in the drive-thru line. So I get at the very end of this drive-through line. As I do this, I see people walking in and out of the front door, not the main side door where everybody parks, but the front door that you have to walk around the building to get to. So I'm like, oh, cool, back out of the line.
Starting point is 00:24:33 go park I walk around that front door or try to walk around that front door and it's locked but there's like a couple um
Starting point is 00:24:39 uh uh cheese whatever the people who go to a restaurant customers geez louise a couple customers
Starting point is 00:24:48 sitting there by the door and I like show them my app that I placed in order they're like oh okay and they open the door for me and I get inside and the person behind the counter says that's why we lock the doors
Starting point is 00:24:59 quit letting people in oh my gosh dude to the people who just let me And I said, well, I've actually got an app order that I'm here to pick up. Oh, yeah. No, it's going to be a while. Probably like 45 minutes. You're welcome to sit and wait.
Starting point is 00:25:11 What? Like, well, screw that. So that was Friday. Is this the same problem that I ran into where just they can't hire enough people or something? Something's going on. They just close their lobby and create a massive drive-through. So then Saturday, I'm like, well, I still want to get Taco Bell. So I do the same thing, but I choose a different Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:25:29 I go there. And this time, the order doesn't. um doesn't fully go through but i'm already at the at the taco ball because i'm doing the app order ahead of time since some time yeah and i go i go to the again lobby closed drive-thru open but there was nobody in the drive-thru so i go in and and uh i say hey i'm picking up an app order for brian guy behind the guy and the other speaker says oh yeah we're not taking any orders right now as a matter of fact um somebody's sick here and we've called the paramedics like are you kidding me i'm not kidding they're barely
Starting point is 00:26:03 and just closed things. Oh, my gosh, dude. So, third attempt, went on Sunday, different, completely different Taco Bell. Again, place the order ahead of time. Get to the Taco Bell. Guess what? Lights are off, the lobby's dark.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Drive-thru's open. I go through the drive-thru, and I say, I'm picking up an app order for Brian. They're like, oh, yeah, we're not taking any more orders right now, but I think we just made yours. So I drive up there, I eat my food, and then I drive off. Wait. Like three different Taco Bells.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Look, I get it. Like, I get this soft, what do they call it? Soft quitting thing or this idea that nobody, here's the problem. It's compounding itself. Instead of quitting, you just don't show up until you're finally fired, right? Something like that, I don't know. Or they just can't hire people. I don't know what the deal is.
Starting point is 00:26:54 But whatever the deal is, it's compounding itself. Because let's say, let's say your Taco Bell. Right. And you're like, oh, shit. Shoot. We can't. We're losing people and we can't get new people. We're going to have to do, we're going to have to do something drastic. How about what? How about we pay people better? Okay, cool. They raise, let's say they raise pay. Yeah, yeah. But then what you're doing is you're asking people to come into that chaos. Yes. Of having to stand at a thing going, the reason we shut the doors to keep new people. Like, why would you ever want to work there? You know? Right. Exactly. It, right. It's a, it's a self, like the snake. is eating its tail it's a self-fulfilling prophecy if you keep if you have these problems and expect to bring in new people to work there among all these problems they're not going to stay and the problem will just continue no this is heinous it's that's bad dude i know we need uh oh okay
Starting point is 00:27:49 i'm sorry soft quitting is just doing enough at your job to not get fired no over time or going above and beyond gotcha okay that's also a porn uh when you're working in the porn industry soft quitting yeah yeah you got a soft quit that's just how it works at the end of the day How about if I just slap you with this thing for a while? The problem, I mean, I wouldn't mind if this was happening to Burger King or Wendy's or something like that. But dang it, I like Taco Bell. And I don't want to see problems like this continue happening. I agree.
Starting point is 00:28:18 The food is better for me. I know that sounds weird to say in a fast food context, but it's true. It's better than other options. I like Taco Bell here and there, generally speaking. Yeah. It's not an every week. food. It's a every three weeks food kind of thing. And maybe they're all having this
Starting point is 00:28:35 problem? I don't know. I guess McDonald's pays their people pretty well. Certainly the three closest to me are having this problem. Well, I mean like other restaurants. I have a feeling that I see what you're saying. I'm not saying McDonald's is immune to it, but McDonald's apparently, like, base pays like 15 an hour, which
Starting point is 00:28:52 is pretty good compared to the others. So I don't know what Taco Bell's deal is, but it's the same thing with our local one. I haven't been there in a long time, mainly because I ran into this problem you're running into, including twice where I ordered on the app, it went through successfully, and then just went off into the ether
Starting point is 00:29:08 and neither location was opened at all. So it's not just me, it's you, it's everybody. It's so weird. Right, and it's going to be the same like, you know, we talked about the employees and how that cycle will just continue. The same thing's going to happen with customers. If I can't trust the Taco Bell closest to me
Starting point is 00:29:23 is going to have the food that I preordered and even paid for in one case and can't cancel the order, I'm just not going to go to Taco Bell anymore, and I'm going to go somewhere else. I'm going to go to Kudo or Chipotle if I want, air quotes, Mexican food. Sure. Cheap, fast Mexican.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Alternative Americanized cheap Mexican food, exactly. Yeah. Yeah, weird, man. I didn't know. I'm glad you shared that. That's insane. That's crazy. That might be the last Mexican pizza you ever eat.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Who knows? It might be. So, Mr. Bell, if you're listening, then please see what you can do about this. I love that the guy's name is Bell. I assume that it's named, you know, it's named after a guy named Bell. Yeah. His nickname in high school was. Taco and so they
Starting point is 00:30:01 He sang He's saying putting on the Ritz It was great It was an awesome Yeah Just parlayed that into a successful restaurant chain
Starting point is 00:30:08 Well anyway Pizza Hutts announced Anyway Pizza Hut Italian Taco Thanks Sorry I had to I had to do my gripe
Starting point is 00:30:15 You know we had the music Oh yeah I should have given you The Register the complaint You know what We'll do it retroactively Why not Posture
Starting point is 00:30:21 Well I hope not Possumously Because you're still alive You know I'm still alive But my My complaint is now dead because I've issued it. A posthumous complaint.
Starting point is 00:30:34 I love it. So anyway, fast food lovers or who love the Taco Bell, if you can get in there, Mexican pizza is undeniable. So here's what happened. Let's see. Let me move here. I'm going to move down. The folks at Pizza Hut, who, as their name implies, would know a thing or two about pizza, certainly seem to think that's the case.
Starting point is 00:30:53 They did not explicitly call out the Mexican Pizza for appropriation. Pizza Hut has launched a campaign sure to raise some eyebris. browse. They have announced they have begun to sell a new product called the Italian Taco. It's basically, if you look at the photo here. Yeah, it's a pizza. This is so goofy because it's not, it's nothing. It's basically just a slice of pizza. They put the two ends together. Yeah, it's really not anything. In fact, if anything, it looks like they just pinched the crust together like you would a New York style pizza, sort of. Yeah, exactly. Like if you have a wide piece of pizza, you just basically put the two
Starting point is 00:31:29 corners together on the crust side and the whole still the rest of it's wide open it's not like uh well here's what they say it almost feels like a joke right like they just made those little boats called italian taco just so they could jokingly say oh it's an italian taco yeah they're poking fun of their they may even be owned by the same food group they were for a while it was all PepsiCo foods and then what became yum or oh yum food man or zam or zam or something that bam foods um it says here let's see there they're This is what they said. Feast your eyes and mouths on a hand-tossed taco shell. Stuffed with a classic marinera sauce, mouth-watering melted mozzarella cheese,
Starting point is 00:32:09 and whatever feelings you choose from pepperoni to jalapinos, said a representative. Even though moments later they admitted the whole thing is just a slice of pizza that folds like a taco. It is. Okay. That's all it is. That's all it is. Yeah. This is such a...
Starting point is 00:32:24 So they just spent a lot of money to make those boats. Yeah. I mean, they say nothing burger all the time. This is a nothing taco. It's just a nothing taco. Yeah, it's not real. It's just a bunch of bull crap. So I guess I didn't know that at a Pizza Hut, you could actually get a single slice.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Oh, I didn't know that. Well, I guess you can with this, but I didn't know you could do that before that. That's what I'm saying. I didn't know that. I would maybe do that. I don't know. Pizza Hut and I've had a rocky relationship in our lives. They used to be amazing.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Like when I was a kid, we'd go there as a whole family, get big pictures of root beer. yeah a couple of pizzas great pizza back in the day now it's just kind of an oily turd it's not great it really is yeah so whatever that's what happens and you get bought and sold 15 times over three decades okay and kkatsumi confirms taco bell pizza hut are yum corporation which is a spinoff from Pepsi co got it and they don't but they no longer are they co they still own pot taco bell under that banner or no i think probably yeah it's probably still PepsiCo at the very top of that that org chart yeah um but then you got yum foods and i i'm guessing that what was it the frito lay was a subset of that something like that also didn't kFC and kfc was
Starting point is 00:33:39 part of it too yeah and w kind of had those combo restaurants which was never made sense to me but whatever it's all gross now yeah yeah they still do here like we still have uh those the ones i haven't tried yet from my taco bell uh cravings is the combo restaurants there's two of those to me too. I'll tell you what, man, if your brand is yum and you have all this gross fast food, you should change, you should buy the yuck domain just to be safe, just to save. It's like you're, you know, like what a tryhard call it your company Yum and serving this stuff. Jeez. I don't buy it. Doctors have, here's a new story. Doctors remove 50 AA and AAA and triple A batteries from a woman's gut and stomach. Oof. Yeah. And that's why they're not
Starting point is 00:34:22 included in the toy you just got. Damn straight. And also before you go, oh, what's happening in Florida today. This is an Ireland, Claire Gack. Oh, no. We've found a bunch of batteries in their gut. Doctors in Ireland removed 50 batteries from a woman after she swallowed them in an apparent act of deliberate self-harm. The woman
Starting point is 00:34:43 age 66 was treated at St. Vincent's University Hospital in Dublin. After ingesting an initially unknown number of cylindrical batteries, according to a report in the case. This was Thursday, September 15, so it's been a bit. in the Irish Medical Journal, which is a thing.
Starting point is 00:35:00 It's the Irish Medical Journal where we chronicle all the things people put in their guts. Next ray. I'm going to give credit right now to your man, Jeff won, because I was going to make the joke, was she charged? But he went so far as to go, they had to discharge her.
Starting point is 00:35:22 That was a far better joke than the one I was about to make. So, hats off to you. Oh, gosh. It's off to you, Jeff. I don't know what to say about any of that. That is all nightmare jokes. Man, oh, man. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Credit where it's due. Good job. Yes. Our man, Jeff. I guess your man, Jeff. Your man, Jeff. Yeah, it's not my man. Anyway, where were we here?
Starting point is 00:35:44 Oh, it says here, an x-ray revealed a multitude of batteries in her abdomen. Thankfully, none appeared to have been obstructing her gastrointestinal. trapped. Oh, no kidding. And no battery showed signs of structural damage, so no leakage of battery acid or any of that. Treatment initially took a conservative approach, which means no rated our movies. And I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Very conservative. Meaning they observed the patient closely to see if and how many batteries would pass through the GI track on their own. Over a one-week period, she passed five batteries.
Starting point is 00:36:24 oh wow but x-rays taken over the following three weeks showed that the vast majority of the batteries had failed to continue progressing through her body by this time
Starting point is 00:36:35 the patient was experiencing diffuse abdominal pain I assume that means kind of all over diffuse I don't know oh yeah
Starting point is 00:36:43 probably not localized to one specific part like the whole her whole stomach hurts yeah I would assume that's the deal the woman then underwent a laparotomy
Starting point is 00:36:52 that's laparoscopic surgery in which surgeons make an incision, access her abdominal cavity. They found that the stomach pulled down by the weight of the batteries had become distended and stretched into the area of the pubic bone. I played bass for pubic bone for 10 years. Never saw any residuals after they... No, no. I picked up their anthology release, but I never listened to each of their individual albums.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Man, what a shame that band. The team then cut a small hole in her stomach and removed 46 batteries from the organ. these included both AA and AAA. I love that they've got both in there. No hearing aid. Those would be the easiest ones, right? That's where you start.
Starting point is 00:37:32 You do the hearing aid batteries. Yeah, they move up to the little watch ones, the Sony watch batteries. They're a little flat. Right, exactly. Oh, yeah, don't do the 9 volts, I-Corps. Those will totally get caught. And if they don't, they're going to not be pleasant to poop out.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Yeah, plus the whole time, you're just going to fill a little... Oh, gosh, yeah, that's right. Yeah. It's like a giant body tongue licking a... Every time it touches the wall of your stomach. But she stopped short of the double A or the triple A's or no, sorry, the C's and the D's. The C's and the D's, baby. You don't even make those now?
Starting point is 00:38:06 Is that a thing I can buy a D battery? No, definitely can because there's, I mean, there are still devices that require them. Like a flashlight, right? They still use those. Flashlights, well, if you newer flashlights are recharge. but yeah I've got how about my black I have a black light here let's see what we got okay
Starting point is 00:38:26 those are probably C's uh here we go so let's see what this looks like on camera ooh ooh oh that's pretty small it actually might be uh yeah these are small might be double a's and it's not rechargeable best I can tell but we're gonna find out because this is a show where we do dumb shit yeah so where we learn we all learn together
Starting point is 00:38:44 oh these are oh okay it's a little cartridge that holds four triple a's yeah okay she should have just eaten that consolidated you know yeah exactly oh my gosh one one big cartridge just eat the whole thing i don't know why it's blinking because uh that's one of the settings oh in case like uh if i'm just in the hotel looking for uh the seaman yeah you don't want to use that version you want to use like that's that's if you uh you know you're on the side of the road fixing a tire and uh you want kim to stand there and hold that and it's flashing
Starting point is 00:39:19 mode to make sure people see. Weird, I don't even know how I set it. Let's tell you a story. It's usually like every click advances it forward through different settings. Yeah. Well, anyway, if you want to see what kind of weird stuff you have on your keyboard, this thing's awesome.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Yeah, I don't think I ever want to see that. It's actually pretty gross. All right. All right, don't eat batteries, people. Don't eat batteries. That's a lesson. Yeah, it's one of those my strange food obsession discovery shows or
Starting point is 00:39:47 whatever it is. See, I could put that on as easily as I'm watching intervention. It's kind of the same same vibe, you know? Maybe I'll do that. I don't know. I don't know why I'm doing any of it. Should watch Futurama. I know. Like, go 70s, 60s and 70s sitcoms or something.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Like, get yourself some, like, happy resolutions by the third act kind of stuff. I bet some Andy Griffith. I could use that. There you go. The old stuff. Not when they went color. I don't want that. That's a weird time. Shark Jumping Era, don't want it.
Starting point is 00:40:22 I want the black and whites, man. All right, check this out. Final story. A trail of slime leads German customs officers to bags of giant snails. I love the fact that, you know, whoever's got, you carry these bags, the slime is somehow going through the bags and like leaving a trail behind the person. And if this wasn't the associated press, I might have thought. this was the onion, but it's not. German customs officials say a trail of sline led them to a stash of almost 100 giant African land snails.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Are there sea snails? Maybe there are. That implies the existence of sea snails, is what I'm saying. So I've seen snails in aquariums. Those are, you know. I guess that's a sea snail. That would probably be a sea snail. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Freshwater snail? I don't know. Okay, there are a chat says. I've never, don't think I've ever seen one. Anyway, there were other items. him's hidden in these bags as well in the Dusseldorf airport. In a statement, Friday's authority said officials stumbled over
Starting point is 00:41:24 one of the snails in a bag of baggage truck and initially thought it was a toy. I don't know what voice I'm doing. Yeah, I don't either, but the Dusseldorf voice, clearly. Philip at the end, I don't know wherever we were on there. Anyway, they followed a trail left by a 20-centimeter
Starting point is 00:41:40 eight-inch snail. That's too big. I don't like that. No, sir. No, sir. That's a... Ugh. Buh. Yeah. Like, that's my, I don't have a problem with snails. I have a problem with big snails. I don't have a problem with spiders.
Starting point is 00:41:52 I have a problem with big spiders. Like, it's all size issues for me with bugs and animals and creatures and things. Anyway, they found this bag with a hole and another snail already peeping out of it. He was peeping. Hello. Hello. There's a bunch of us in here. Please let us out.
Starting point is 00:42:11 This is a problem. Anyway. The one's on the bottom of her is like swimming in slime. You may have seen our trail. Hope you found it. Possibly preparing for a dash for freedom, it says here. That's funny. There's no dashing with a snail.
Starting point is 00:42:27 In total, they found six bags containing 93 giant snails all around that size. A total of 62 pounds or 28 kilograms, if you're keeping track in space points. Of fish and soaked meat was also there. A suitcase full of rotting meat was also part of the acquisition. They'd all been imported from Nigeria and were destined for African goods store in West Germany. Snails were handed to the animal rescue service and Dusseldorf and the meat was immediately eaten. Just kidding, destroyed. And the guy says, never in the history of Dusseldorf customs office has a trail of slime led us to smuggled goods, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:04 So the spokesman. All right. That's the end of today's news. We hope you gain something from it. Here's what we do at the middle of the show. We'd like to break things up and give you a little bit of audio entertainment and Brian's in charge of that. He brings music, really. Oh, you're saying I should have actually had something. Oh, okay. I think I got something ready, Scott. Oh, my gosh. Man, you're so good at this last second song selection. I love it. Yes, it's almost as if when you were talking about that last story. I was pulling up my notes about the song. Hey, brand new album came out last Friday, and it's really, really good. It's called Crushed Grapes. And it's by a guy named Jason Bahada, B-A-J-A-D. So basically you just put one finger on the A and then just go B-J-D and just
Starting point is 00:43:46 keep it in that A every other time when you're searching for this. If you like Sufion Stevens, Fleet Fox's, Father John Misty, there's like a John Lennon-E-Betles kind of feel to it that I really, really like. Then you're going to like this album. Well, first single is Walt Disney. You can check it out right now. Here is Walt Disney by Jason Bahada. Do you care to join my army? I've been staying inside. Feeling safe, maybe sorry.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Cowering behind, bitter sweetness, come spend the night. Kill with kindness, rid ourselves of spite. I've frozen you in time. Kind of like Walt Disney, a block of eyes Look a way to feel better Because any sign of life brings me back to your bitter lives Those were definitely darker ties
Starting point is 00:45:09 As I'd drive down Sunset Boulevard Under this California suns With my best friend by my side We end up laughing till we cry Visit mansions in the heads She pretends to be my wife. Belize my bones won't turn to glass. This kind of love will last a life.
Starting point is 00:46:09 As I drive down sunset pull the far, under far, under the sunsets, under this. California sun With my best friend by my side We end up laughing till we cry Visit mansions in the hills She pretends to be my life
Starting point is 00:47:06 at least my bones won't turn to glass This kind of love will last a life At least my bones won't turn to class This kind of love will last a life At least my bones won't turn to class Don't turn to glass, this kind of love will last alive. I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it?
Starting point is 00:47:55 And what's it seems weird and scary to me. Is there Phil Cosby? The morning stream, better than a straw-tart blueberry pop torch. All right, we have returned. Remind me who that was, please. Yeah, that is the song Walt Disney, performed by Jason Bahada from the brand new album, Crushed Grapes. Nice. One might say that's wine. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:48:32 What might say that? I haven't heard the song yet, because I'm going to go back and listen, but is it, is it an anti-Walt Disney thing? Is it a pro-D-D-D-A? It's funny. I listen to the lyrics, and I didn't pick out where he was talking about Walt Disney. It's more about kind of driving across the country and pretending you're my wife and that sort of thing. Like, it's kind of sweet.
Starting point is 00:48:51 It's a sweet song. Oh, well, now I like it even more with this explanation. Thank you for that. Sure. Now you've got some set up. You'll enjoy it, and you'll be like, okay, I think I like it. Yeah. Now I can listen with impunity.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Please, too. We're going to call our pal from the Pacific Northwest. You know him as Bill, but we know him as the grand maker of things. Your bat caves open there, Bill. Oh, my gosh. Look who it is. It's Bill Duran, who we didn't have him last week because we took it off for reasons. But he's back and he's here and he's got stuff to talk about.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Bill, welcome back to the program. Hello, did you guys take a peek at Jupiter last night? No, I heard about it. I saw it Sunday night. The way we were facing at the Bronco game was directly at Jupiter. So, like, when we were watching that messy, messy game, you were watching Jupiter. Oh, here we go. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:49:42 Closest pass to Earth in 59 years. Whoa. Yeah. That was before we were all born, boys. That's awesome. No, I missed the actual viewing, but I'm looking at some photos now of some telescope stuff. And my gosh. It's cool.
Starting point is 00:49:59 It'll still be pretty close today if you want to take a peek. Yeah. That thing is a gnarly planet, man. That thing just, you know that if we could somehow get on the surface, which will never happen, but let's say we did, somehow could survive it. That must be one hell of a thing, you know? Like just constant swirling storms that never stop. I don't know if this is the planet that rains diamonds or that might be Venus, but somewhere just rains diamonds all day. Like weird, I'd love that kind of idea that we could get there, but we're probably never going to get there.
Starting point is 00:50:33 be so cool yeah uh bill's good to have you back you and brian are uh expat covid buddies uh both recovered from your covid uh little fight there um how do you feel you feeling good yeah you out of the woods i'm good yeah i'm i'm feeling back to 100 percent that's good no brain no brain fog no long covid symptoms any of that stuff as far as i can tell no okay the bullet yeah i always people if ever get it when people say do you have the brain fog us i know i was always this slow i'll say yeah Anyway, it's good to have you back. We missed you, and we can't wait to hear what you've been working on. So tell us and inspire us.
Starting point is 00:51:09 We got a good one. We have a new video out over on punishprops.com. We finished our satisfactory costumes. We made them for Dragon Khan. Most of this build was done in the month of August. A bit of a sprint at the end, but we got it done with 12 hours to spare before our flight took off. And it was awesome. It was a really, really fun build.
Starting point is 00:51:33 But the game is satisfactory. Both Brittany and I played it together, and we'll play it again because it's just, it's the kind of game that just pulls you in. Yeah, and it's not even 1.0 when it hits that. It's not even fully released. I know, right. I watched that whole video this morning. It's just amazing, like the sanding and the gluing and the sanding
Starting point is 00:51:55 and then the priming and then the sanding and the assembly, but that the visor, the way you got that set, like everything, seeing everything, fit together just the way you expect it. It just feels like such a, you know, I don't want to use the term satisfying, but it's a very, it's just such a, ah, kind of feeling.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Yeah, I love that. Tell me why this shirt, this shirt you're wearing in the beginning of the video, what's to deal with that thing? That's pretty normal. Well, if you'd go on to Dragon Khan a few years ago, you'd understand the shirt was all about.
Starting point is 00:52:25 It is the carpet. I get it now. Okay. And then you have this t-shirt, is that from the team that makes the game? That's awesome. That's merch from coffee stain. That's great.
Starting point is 00:52:38 It's the helmet I made, so I had to get it. Nice. This is great. So the helmets were 3D modeled, and I made one for me, one for Brit. So there are actually two different sizes. I modeled in tandem. And also, by the way, if anyone is interested in making these helmets, the 3D files are available for free over at putish props.com. If you want to print them out yourself.
Starting point is 00:53:03 your scanning of your face using the phone stuff we talked about a few or maybe a month ago that's cool to see you're using that you're going to do you probably do this for all your future uh well maybe you only have to do it once because your head is your head right i have it now yeah we're good unless my head changes in size or volume dramatically in the future hope it doesn't uh so yeah we did lots of 3d scanning uh me and britt and i um dropped those into fusion 360 so I can model the helmets right around our head. I actually had the in-game model of the helmet. I threw that in there as well so that I sort of had something to work around. And I also scan those store-bought visors to drop in there. That was the really satisfying part. Getting
Starting point is 00:53:51 those visors to fit perfectly. So good. That's interesting because the visor part of that helmet is I think what makes that helmet kind of unique. How did you know what? How did you know what to get to duplicate that. I guess you can probably touch this stuff up in 3D, obviously, before you know, print it or whatever. But yeah, we really kind of design a lot of the helmet around the visors that we bought because we found these like medical visors. It's almost like a pair of sunglasses because it's got stems,
Starting point is 00:54:24 like glasses stems and a nose piece on it. But then it has this big visor part that covers your whole face. It was the right color. It's got that color shift thing going on. I spruce it up a little bit I've used some clear adhesive vinyl and cut out a hexagon pattern to put on the visor to give it that
Starting point is 00:54:40 it's got that in the game and it just gives it that little extra bit of something it makes it special I really love how those turn out it looks so cool with that that hexagon thing on it which I watched you try and like that's where my not OCD
Starting point is 00:54:56 but something was kicking in as I was watching you trying to get it all straightened out while I was speaking to the visor like oh no oh it's it's buckling right there oh no it's folding on itself right there but it's hard it's hard to get so it's going over a complex curve and it's hard to get all that to lay flat so we did a pretty good job on it and it looks i like i really love how it looked i talked about this last time with you but that that that the idea of starting with a thing you can buy like the visor is kind of what i'm doing with the pym particle the pym energy course so i got this uh this light this lantern that
Starting point is 00:55:32 is going to be the center of the PIM Energy Corps and I'm building a 3D thing around it and my holdup has been well I want to record the whole process like you know video screen capture record the whole process of me making the the lantern shape that this goes into and because of that it's like oh I really want to get started on it but I'm not ready to start that part of it so this thing this whole thing gets pushed off but yeah I'm so excited to do it. That's fun. I will say screen recording or recording yourself 3D modeling something is painful. Is it? Because I don't know about you. When I model something, I'm like, and next we do this part like this. Nope, that's wrong. Let me do that again. Oh, wait, maybe five
Starting point is 00:56:18 millimeters is too much. Let's go three millimeters. Yeah. No, what I'll probably do is just record the whole thing, edit, and then do a voiceover. Yeah. Yeah. So good luck, with that, but I'm excited to see it. It's so much fun. Yeah. Our helmets were all 3D printed. We used as many printers as we could find. So I have my Ultimaker that's set up with ABS, so I printed a lot of parts in ABS,
Starting point is 00:56:42 which works really well. We have a photon mono X little resin printer for printing all the little parts on the helmet. And then we even convinced our buddy, Joel, the 3D printing nerd, to print one of the helmets on the Form 3L, giant resin printer. And they're tough resin. They have a durable resin. So Brittany's helmet is actually probably a lot more durable than mine. And then as you mentioned, lots of assembly, sanding and priming and even more sanding.
Starting point is 00:57:11 How big is that Form 3L, by the way? It's pretty, you can do, how large a piece? I guess as big as that helmet. We had to split the helmet in half to print each side separately. Interesting. About the size of a helmet. Wow. Yeah, they claim, I've kind of followed this one because I'll never afford it.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Maybe I can. I don't know. But life side prints of larger than life ideas, they always claim, and then they say that it's big enough to make human scale models, which I assume is like, all right, you can do a hand and then here's a forearm and then here's a bicep and that sort of thing, right? Like if you wanted to. Have you ever been tempted to do that, just like a full-size dude? I'm going to make a Bill mannequin.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Yeah, Bill mannequin. You should do that. I should. I have a 3D scan of my whole body. and also that 3D scan was from a few years ago and I'm in better shape so we should scale you could totally print that one
Starting point is 00:58:05 yeah print that one that's great well very cool I'm just watching this this looks like one of your I don't know why I'm getting this impression it looks like one of your bigger projects would you say that's true yeah it was a ton of work so there's the helmets and the jumpsuits
Starting point is 00:58:21 Brittany did the painting on the helmets and she sewed the jumpsuit from scratch came up with a pattern and did some fitting and then put the whole thing together we also have some found parts
Starting point is 00:58:37 we bought boots and gloves and the undershirts were all found objects that we purchased somewhere and then we were we like I said got them all done at 7 p.m. on the Wednesday before we flew out at 7 a.m. on Thursday. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:55 Wow. It was pretty good. And we even had a couple hours in the evening to chill out before we had to go to sleep and then fly to Dragon Con. So it wasn't even too, it wasn't that stressful, but it was a lot of work. Yeah. Sometimes your best work, though, is under the gun like that. You know, I find that to be true. So let me ask you about this adhesive with the, the, the, um, honeycomb pattern. Is that a thing you buy ready like that? Did you? No. So that was just a sheet of, of, of, of, of, of, vital and I used my vinyl cutter to cut that pattern into it. Oh my gosh, that's so bad. Using all the tech we've got. Yeah, although I guess warning to tripophobians or whoever you are out there that don't like this.
Starting point is 00:59:39 Oh, what is that? Yeah, the triptophaniophobia? It's triptophobia, I think. Yeah. I have a friend who can't, he wouldn't be able to look at this part of the video at all. Or even that metal thing you have weighing it down the big block. One, two, three blocks? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:54 What is that? What do you get that one, two, three block? I was watching that. Yeah, where do you get that? Is that a thing you made? Amazon. Yeah. Amazon's got them. They're really useful for weights.
Starting point is 01:00:04 They are exactly one, two, and three inches on each side. So you can use them to make some measurements. They have so many uses. It's very cool. Well, congratulations on an amazing build. This is great. Thank you. And this thing went.
Starting point is 01:00:19 When does this video go up? You put this up when? Yesterday. Already at 30K views. Look at you. Just creaming the crop here. Look at all these comments. It was at 29,999 until I watched it.
Starting point is 01:00:31 I know. And then you get a prize for that, by the way. Free watching of the video. That's right. It's just one of those little. A free one, two, three blocks. You get a spider ring where you turn your tickets into the arcade. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 01:00:44 Well, this is great. Everyone go check it out, please. It is the satisfactory build. Already some great titles for Bill's segment today. We got a satisfactory build with Bill. Some really good stuff in here. Anyway, Bill, you always leave us with a little bonus extra. What do you got today?
Starting point is 01:01:03 I got a build video from Simone Yetch and Laura Kompf, two makers that I'm friends with and are awesome. They got together in Germany and did a pair of videos together that were just really, really fun videos. Simone is a gift from heaven. Yes, she is. I don't know the other girl, but it sounds like somebody I should follow. Yeah, Laura is out of Germany. She's currently renovating a 120-year-old house, and it is going, it has become an adventure, let's say. She looks like the kind of German that would kick my ass, just saying.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Yeah, and she's also an incredibly talented maker in so many ways. Like, she would kick your ass at sign making and all sorts of other stuff. Yeah, she would beat me physically and then do it intellectually as well with all her fun. work. That's what I'm looking for in a woman. Anyway, hey, Bill, that was great. Always good to talk to you, man, and I'm glad to have you back. We'll do this again in a week if you're down for it. How's that sound? Sounds great.
Starting point is 01:02:06 Okay, Bill Duran, everybody. Punish props on Twitter. Punish props.com is the website and, of course, the YouTube channel. Go be one of these 30,000 plus people who have already seen the video. All right? Let's push it to 31,000. What's going, baby? We'll see you later. All right. There he goes.
Starting point is 01:02:25 It's good to talk Bill. It is. I'm just glad you're both over here. It inspires me to make, and I just need to freaking get off my butt and record my video of me making. You got to make, man. Make it. Make it or break it? Got to make. Um, I forgot
Starting point is 01:02:42 who's on next. Bobby, Bobby would be next. My brain locked up for a second. Boy, if he didn't feel bad about you not checking in on it before. Look, Brian forgot the term or he forgot the word customer. Yeah, customers, and I forgot who the hell Bobby is.
Starting point is 01:02:59 All right. Anyway, I don't know what's worse. Here's this. Science. It is science. Science time with Bobby. It's a Tuesday. That means we're going to talk about a little bit of science today.
Starting point is 01:03:10 Bobby, welcome back. How are you? You didn't check in with me yesterday. I got who the hell I am. I know, I know. But I forgot the word customers, Bobby, so it's all even. It's even. Right.
Starting point is 01:03:21 I'm sure the word customers feel. You were a customer. Yeah. It's good to have you here, man. I hope you're doing well. Oh, how was your flight stuff last week? I know that was, we were a little worried about schedule because you were doing a big lesson. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:34 I got back in time. That was all fine. Usually I make people think that I'm going to be late when I really, there's not a lot of risk. It's just I don't like, I don't like springing it on people. So I just want to be like, okay, heads up. It is possible, albeit a small chance that something like super, super. bad traffic could happen or something like that. Sure, sure.
Starting point is 01:03:57 I was back in time, but you canceling the show did make it so that I could hang out with my wife for a little bit. Oh, that's good. Nothing wrong with that. So how, just a progress update, the flight stuff going well? You're, what are you ready to? It is going well. Last week, when I did go, it was a really nice, smooth flight, and that felt really, really nice.
Starting point is 01:04:18 The air was nice and calm. But yesterday was probably the most. discouraging lesson I've ever had. It was really hard. We were doing what's called pattern work, which is where you just stay around an airport. You just land and take off over and over again to practice takeoffs and landings, really. Right. And landing is really hard when you're first starting off. It becomes easier, of course, once you get it all. But there's so much when you're coming to, when you're approaching and getting into the traffic pattern in an airport and trying to land. There's so many things to keep track of all at once. And I was doing really bad and my takeoffs
Starting point is 01:05:00 were worse than they normally are. And it was just really discouraging. But then I found out when we were done, he said, because he lets, I am in control most of the time. But the last landing, I was doing so bad, he just took the controls. And he was like, listen, we're just going to land and we're going to be done. Wow. That's not fun to hear that. I don't like that. Well, I'm exaggerating his tone a little bit because he's really nice he's a great flight instructor but um but that's what was going on and we were getting closer to the end of the lesson and then he told me after he landed he right as he was coming into land the stallhorn in the plane went off which tells you you're about to stall and he was the one doing it and then he finally lands and he says okay turns out that
Starting point is 01:05:44 and you might not have known this because you're new at this it turns out that there was like a ton of really bad um shearing wind like gusts across crosswinds across the runway and it was making it really hard to fly and he just didn't know how bad it was because I was the one doing most of the flying he just thought I was doing really badly the whole time
Starting point is 01:06:07 but he said in hindsight he said given that those conditions you actually probably were doing pretty well wow I mean that's you're to be expected to have some of this be troublesome sometimes right that's the point of learning how to do it yeah and it was it was so knowing that that was the case was able I was able to like shake off some of the discouragement because like okay it's not that I'm terrible and sliding backwards it's that it was
Starting point is 01:06:35 really the conditions were really tough but it was it was the the discouragement stuck with me for a while because it felt like a lesson where I was going into it I was expecting to make a lot of progress and learn landings and takeoffs a lot better but that didn't happen because of the conditions and so but but like you said all experience is good experience especially when when you never know what could be the conditions when you're flying so at any time you know so so it's an experience that I had and uh there you go there you are and you survive still cost the same amount of money though yeah that's true you don't get a discount on a bad day I get it well uh uh maybe all of that left you open
Starting point is 01:07:22 to learning about some cool scientific facts so you could share them with us. That's my transition. So tell us, a host of All Around Science, what are we talking about this week? So you've guys ever heard of the Ig Nobel Prizes? I have heard of those. Yeah, so every year.
Starting point is 01:07:39 Did we lose Brian? Brian, you there? Oh, Brian left. Oh, he did leave. Brian must have to poo or something. I don't know what happened. He took off. Anyway, go ahead.
Starting point is 01:07:48 I didn't want to talk to him anyway. Oh, his dog is his dog. One of his dogs, or his dog is pooping, I think, is the deal. A dog emergency. We're good. All right. So the Ig Nobel Prizes. They do them every year.
Starting point is 01:08:00 It's yearly awards that, and in their words, to quote, honor achievements that first make people laugh and then make them think. Oh. So it was on, they were on September 15th. I actually always forget about them every year. But shout out to our good friend, Nikki Ackerman. She let me know ahead of time. She said, hey.
Starting point is 01:08:22 they're about to happen um i love niki nicky's great she will not only inform you of things but she's also super nice and people should uh know about her she's rad i like her she's awesome um so they're kind of like funny awards but they're given to genuine scientific achievements um and that's important right so they're not like the darwin awards that you hear about where they're just given to dumb things that people do um so uh they're They're also given, they're given to scientific achievements that are just weird or funny or something like that. And once in a blue moon, they'll give them out to, like, to satirically, to stuff like homeopathy, to criticize it.
Starting point is 01:09:09 But that's not very often. And I like them, because I think they highlight the importance of doing science just for the sake of discuss. because a lot of these things are just like weird things. And so I thought in honor of the Igno Bells and to laugh a little bit, I'd go through some of the Ig Nobel Prizes that were given out this year. Oh, all right. I'd love to hear this because I did not follow this year's stuff at all. I have no idea who won anything.
Starting point is 01:09:43 Most people don't. And you wouldn't be faulted if you don't. A lot of it is just like people in the science community laughing. at the research that scientists do, but in a nice way because, you know, science has to be done. And even science of weird, seemingly pointless things has to be done because that's how we learn about things, right? Yeah. So there's a, it's given in a lot of different areas. We'll start with the Applied Cardiology Award. Ooh. I like heart stuff because, you know, I got a family history of heart stuff. I'm always happy to hear the advancements over there.
Starting point is 01:10:21 so let's do it it was it was given to uh the the title of the paper was physiological synchrony is associated with attraction in a blind date setting um and what it basically was is they found that when two people are in love their hearts synchronized um so uh this uh basically the when they approached this uh study they thought well when their hypothesis was that when two people are attracted to one another, that they're going, that they would synchronize certain physiological responses, right? And so it was interesting how they did this. They set up the study and said, they took pairs of people that they found in, they recruited from like conferences and stuff like
Starting point is 01:11:06 that. They would go around and find pairs of people that were willing to do this. And they would take them into what they called a dating cabin, which sounds really scary and creepy to me. But they're a dating cabin, quote unquote, and ask them to sit at a table, well, not face to face, but across from each other with a plastic divider between them. Okay. So they couldn't see each other. And what they would do is they would raise the divider three times throughout the experiment. The first time they would raise it would be for three seconds for a quick first impression of each other.
Starting point is 01:11:40 And then they would do it two more times for two minutes each, one for verbal interact communication with each other. for non-verbal communication with each other, right? Mm-hmm. And the whole time that they were doing this, they were measuring physiological responses. They had to wear eye-tracking glasses. They would measure their heart rate, their skin conductance, which is just a fancy way of saying
Starting point is 01:12:06 whether they're sweating. Mm-hmm. Gotcha. Okay. And other things that they measured. But those are some of the main things. They were keeping track of all these responses, Because their idea was, if two people are attracted to each other,
Starting point is 01:12:20 they expected that there might be some sort of synchrony between these responses between the two people. And when they were done with this, they would ask them separately, hopefully. So if they'd like to go on a date with the other person. If you'd like to go on a second date, we'll pay for it. So basically as a measure of, this brief encounter, was there some attraction, right?
Starting point is 01:12:51 34% of the women said they wanted a second date. Weird. 53% of the men did, because of course they did more men did. Because they're horny, those men. They're horny. Right. We have lower standards. And they found that only 17% of those people had both people in a pair said that
Starting point is 01:13:14 they would like to go out on a second date with that person. Okay, so let me make sure I got that right. The percentages I get for women versus men, but the only time that both sides said yes, that's 17%. Exactly. When they asked the people after they were done, sometimes just the woman would say that they were willing to go on a second date, sometimes just the men. But 17% of the time, both in the pair said that they would like to go out on a date, on a second date with the person. A second date, as if this was a first date. Sure.
Starting point is 01:13:49 A second brief window of looking at each other. A second time in the dating cabin. They found that, and this is the interesting part, they found that whenever there was a synchronization between heart rate and skin conductance. Now, what that means a synchronization, by the way, is that whenever one person's heart rate increased, another person's did. it's not like they're beating at the same time
Starting point is 01:14:17 it's just the increase and decrease in heart rate would happen at the same time between the two people whenever they found that that happened it was predictive of whether or not both people in the couple
Starting point is 01:14:32 would want to go on a second date but also interestingly they found that other signals like smiling or gaze direction did not correlate with whether or not there was a traction between them. Interesting. It could be that smiling and looking at each other or looking away,
Starting point is 01:14:53 those could be false signals that are maybe for other reasons and these unconscious signals that you have little control over because they're tied to your autonomic nervous system, like heart rate and sweating, those were better predictors. Do you know how many people were in the study total, just for background? there were a total of 140 couples, 140 pairs. That sounds about right.
Starting point is 01:15:21 You wouldn't want less than that, and more than that seems problematic, right? I don't know, it seems like redundant. That's probably all you need is that sample size. I don't know. You probably want at least around that much. More wouldn't hurt. I mean, if you start to get way more
Starting point is 01:15:35 than it starts to get weird data mining kind of, like, is there really an effect kind of stuff? The more people you have, the more, the statistics have to work out, right? So that was the applied cardiology. So they got an award for that. There's another one in literature, which is a fun one. Oh, that's for reading.
Starting point is 01:16:00 Yeah, I like that. That's a good one for reading. Right. So the paper was called poor writing, not specialized concepts, drives processing difficulty in legal language. So what this basically was, a summary was, is that they were analyzing what makes legal documents so hard to understand. They decided to attest what there.
Starting point is 01:16:23 So there's these competing theories of legal convolution. You know, legal documents are really hard to understand, right? Yeah. And some people argue that the reason that they're complicated is because the law, it's technical and it's precise. You need to have technical language in order to get the precision that. that you need for the law, right? And that's their argument for why you have all this convoluted language. Others, though, argue that no, the law is actually built on very ordinary concepts and we
Starting point is 01:16:58 don't really need all this complicated language. We could explain things in contracts and legal documents more plainly to make people understand. It's not required. Interesting. So scientists decided that they were going to analyze. this a little bit and see what they could figure out. So they analyze the text of a ton of legal documents. Altogether, 10 million words they analyzed.
Starting point is 01:17:24 So gamers, by the way, listen to this because these are your Ula's that you're scrolling 500 miles to sign and stuff like that. And you never look at because they're insurmountable in terms of having to read them. They're ridiculous. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. It has definitely to do with these types of license. user license agreements, yeah. So they found in their results that, no surprise probably, legal documents seem to be unnecessarily convoluted. And that they could, and importantly,
Starting point is 01:17:57 they probably could be made much easier to understand if they avoided a lot of the features that they identified as the culprits. They found that there were a few big things that caused these documents to be really convoluted. Non-standard capitalization. Have you seen that before? all the time I hate that where you'll be reading like like some sort of legal brief or like you see illegal and words are in all caps for seemingly no reason and sometimes it's just one or two like it's like the the complainant has found that the defendant doesn't have as love as of it like that right why do they do that what is that about I don't know I'm sure there are people listening like lawyers that are listening right
Starting point is 01:18:41 now who are thinking like no there's a reason we do that um but uh but in this they found that it leads to further confusion the non-standard capitalization also the use of archaic words that nobody uses anymore like herein or a foresaid or to wit um so archaic language a legal jargon that probably could be expressed in in simpler language and the biggest culprit they found was this language thing called center embedding. And this is really fascinating. Center embedding is this process of sort of like nesting phrases inside other phrases that sort of unfold themselves.
Starting point is 01:19:29 And you have to sort of, in a weird way, unfold them accordion style to figure out what the sense. Like you're doing an equation, like you're breaking out the, parentheses in an equation. Exactly, and they're explained off in using it parentheses. I got some examples that you'll like here. So the first example is, the rat, the cat, the dog chased, killed ate the malt. I hate that. I hate everything about that. Right. So the breakdown of that, the easier way to say that would be the dog chased the cat, the cat caught the rat that had eaten the malt. Like, that's what that sentence is saying. Right. Right. So you can imagine how impenetrable this stuff is. My favorite example I found here was the dog, the girl, the boy, the
Starting point is 01:20:22 teacher, the mechanic, the owner of the dog uses, lives with likes, no, saw, ran away. Wow. I hate it. And so are there commas or parentheses in that that at least help you break it down or how? Not in the ones that I found. But, but. You know, they were constructed examples I found online. So they might have left the commas out on purpose to further obfuscate it. But this is in legal documentation all the time where they do this. And they, in their analysis, they found that it's quite likely that they suspect that this is deliberate obfuscation of things to make it so that it's not as easily under. Now, that's maybe speculation.
Starting point is 01:21:11 I don't know. I'm not trying to call any lawyers out there deliberately deceitful in their legal documentation. But the point is that they did find that if you did away with a lot of these things, that legal documents would be easier to understand. I agree. I don't know why if it's important that people know what they're agreeing to, why does the language have to be so nebulous and difficult? like yeah so that they you can get people to agree to things that they may not realize they're
Starting point is 01:21:44 agreeing to yeah so so all that does is just instill distrust in whatever company or service i'm signing up for and i and at or it's kind of for me it's just throwing my hands up and going whatever click like i yeah i already assume i've agreed to a million bad agreements with video games and movies and a million of the things i may as well just do another one it's fine when i when i went and got our house and you know you close on a house anyone one's ever done that. It's just a, it's miles of signatures. Oh my God. For stuff they're like, oh, you don't need to read this, just sign this. Okay. What does this say? Well, this 400 pages says basically that you aren't going to default on your payments. Like, why do you need 400 pages that say I won't?
Starting point is 01:22:22 This homepage document agrees that you will not lick the lead paint off the walls. Yes. You agree to not eat the lead paint. It's really a weird part of our modern society. And I kind of hate it. But on the other hand, I'm like, eh. Like, it's the way I feel about, don't you worry to govern. Don't you worry to government. Herman's watching you. I'm like, whatever. Just watch. I don't care. What are you going to see? My fat ass in the morning, like, who cares? But I actually do care. I'm annoyed by it. But I feel like I can't do anything about it, which is part of the problem because they've worn us down with their legalese, you know? Yeah. Anyway. That's the end goal. That's what they're trying to do is wear you down. Well, congratulations. Industrial Complex. You've done it. You've done it. There are a bunch of other, just very funny ones. There was a study that, looked at whether or not constipation makes it difficult for scorpions to move around as they do yeah yeah it turns out that it doesn't okay that's good um which i read that uh a little bit of that one and i didn't know this so scorpions can drop their tails um like lizards can do you know oh like off like drop off like yeah they can off off um tail uh um but uh
Starting point is 01:23:38 And it's like as much as 25% of their body mass, but they can do it. They don't grow it back like lizards do. They will die. But they die some month or more later, and it's not because their tail is missing or anything like that. It's because dropping their tail off causes them to become constipated so much so that it kills them. And I didn't look further into it. It was just stated that way as if it was a fact that I. I should know.
Starting point is 01:24:09 Are they supposed to just watch their diet? Is that because their butt was dropped off, too? Yeah, are they supposed to just watch their diet? Like, what are you supposed to do for a constipated freaking? There's nothing they can do. They will die from it. And so, uh, like cut back on cheese. But they live long enough to mate.
Starting point is 01:24:23 Okay. Still. Okay. So as long as they can get that going and, uh, kept to keep the species going, then sorry, grandpa's going to die early because of a stupid constipation. We'll have new, we'll have new scorpions before you know it. That's such a weird thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:38 It is a weird thing. There's another one that found that this is, again, probably no surprise to anyone, but that ice cream used instead of ice chips after chemotherapy helps chemo patients have better pain outcomes after. Really? Yeah. If they just use ice cream instead of ice chips. Because those ice chips, it's like you hear about that all the time.
Starting point is 01:25:04 And Tina did that too. And pregnancy, they do it after pregnancy. like, oh, here's ice chips or surgery or whatever. Right. That's crazy. I could have been given ice cream a whole time. Damn it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:16 You drop the ball on that one, Brian. Yeah. It wasn't me. It was the doctors. How dare you not know about this obscure scientific story? Right. Exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:27 There was a study that looked at how best to use your fingers to control columnar knobs. Basically, how best to turn knobs. Okay. Just vertical knobs like the ones on my mixer. Yep, yep, exactly. There was a really interesting one that looked at, that analyzed ancient pots that, you know how you have like old pottery that has like art on it that depicts common practices that people would do? Like, you know, Egyptian pottery or Mesopotamian stuff, you know, that'll show like things that people, it shows people doing stuff, right? They analyzed some pots that apparently depicted the technique of using alcohol and drugs in enumas and how to administer those.
Starting point is 01:26:23 Wow. Well, that seemed like good. And the scientist on this one for science did it, decided to actually administer. He's the guinea pig, you're saying. He did the... Yeah, exactly. He did that to himself with some alcohol and or...
Starting point is 01:26:42 And there was another one. It like would administer an alcohol enema and take a breathalizer every once in all. Did he get results from that? Did it actually show up at all? Yeah, it turns out that your rectum can absorb things faster. Yeah, but then I guess, you know what? This shows my lack of knowledge about how breathalizers worked. I assumed it's because you drank a lot.
Starting point is 01:27:04 so it's on your breath, but it's actually your lungs are generating stuff. Yeah, the reason a breathalyzer works is because you've got alcohol in your bloodstream and that exchange of blood in your lungs includes alcohol. And so it's actually coming out of, it's actually
Starting point is 01:27:20 accurately depicting blood blood alcohol levels. Interesting. I did not know that. Yeah. So even if you shoot it up your butt, you're still going to, you're still going to show up on a breathalyzer. You think that's still popular with the kids, the the college freshman, you know, putting the...
Starting point is 01:27:36 Hot-co-soaked tampons and whatever. Was it ever popular? Right. It could be like the whole FDA popularizing NyQuil-marinated chicken, right? Yeah. Maybe one person said it, but then the FDA is like, oh, no, here, quick, let's launch this huge campaign to stop people from doing this. And I bet you it caused...
Starting point is 01:27:57 Yeah, it caused more people to do it, right? Yes, yes, exactly. That's my... Oh, I'm sure they did. but like that's the problem is on the one hand you want to warn against it and on the other hand you don't want to popularize it by warning against it so they're kind of they're in a catch-20 that's why i started eating tide pods yeah i know exactly i think if you if you see one person doing it you just say uh let them let them you know let them take themselves out of yeah
Starting point is 01:28:20 contention for breathing but if it's a big thing sure you're like oh maybe there's something to that yeah i remember look in 1993 i remember i started pulling people spines out not because of Mortal Kombat, but because they warned me that if I played it. Exactly. It was like, what? Every time I hear the phrase finish him,

Starting point is 01:29:39 hey Bill or Bill hey Bob Bob and Bill Bobby what else you guys you got this show this all around science show which continues a lot of the threads that you bring up here and I'd love people to know more about it where can I get it it's a science podcast every week we talk about different science-y stuff. It's called All-Around Science. That's just, if you search for it, wherever you listen to podcast, you'll find it, all around science. This past week, the one episode that
Starting point is 01:30:07 came out yesterday, we talked about Saturn's rings. You've probably seen them. Or at least seen pictures of them. And we talked about where did they come from? Because did you know that all gas giants in our solar system anyway, they all have rings.
Starting point is 01:30:23 Jupiter does, Uranus does, Neptune does. But why is it that Saturn of all the planets? It's not even the biggest one. Why is it that Saturns are so big and compared to everybody else's? They're so dramatically different. Yeah, that's why it was the recent shot the web got of, oh shoot, what's the planet they did? I think that was Neptune. Neptune. Neptune. You don't even think of Neptune as having rings. We knew it did, these dusty, more dusty, finer rings, but because the previous tech wasn't able to show it in the that Saturn always is, we see these new ones and we're like, oh my gosh, like a whole different
Starting point is 01:31:01 planet. It's like a whole different thing. And it's great. So why, I guess you go into it, why? Yeah, we talk about why scientists are pretty sure what caused Saturn's rings to be so dramatically different than the other planets. And you should listen and find out why. Well, I'm going to and I'll find out why along with the rest of America and the world. Bobby, it's a great to have you on with us. As always, do check him out on all that fun stuff. Have a fantastic week. In theaters.
Starting point is 01:31:33 In theaters, Thursday. Thursday. All right, there goes, Bobby. There he goes. Let's do the final bits of... I want to go see that. Don't worry, darling, while it's in theaters. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:47 I want to hear a friend tell me if that's good. Yeah, I know, because I hear mixed reviews on it. Like, it's more the excitement of the hype over Olivia Wilde and everybody not liking her. Yeah, like all the controversy around the production of the thing does the movie hold up despite all that? Exactly. I just don't know.
Starting point is 01:32:07 By the way, a quick check here. Smile at 80% currently. That seems like a good horror. Oh, really? I didn't even think that was out yet. I thought that didn't come out until this weekend. Ooh, don't worry, darling, at 38. That's concerning. But I'll take what you end up saying.
Starting point is 01:32:23 Audience reviews around 78. That seems better. Oh, interesting. Okay. So when it doesn't seem better, it definitely is better. You never freaking can tell. All right. No, no, you really can't. We're going to take our leave before we go. A quick note that tonight at 3.30 Mountain Time, it will be tonight for some people, but really just afternoon for many others.
Starting point is 01:32:42 3.30 p.m. Mountain, we'll be doing an episode of Play Retro. Myself and Brian Dunaway are digging deep on some very cool retro topics. If you would like to tune in for that live, it's a 330 mountain time right here at frogvance. tv or get the podcast later um let's see what else probably a new diary today brian you got anything coming out today we should mention uh nothing coming out today i got to start prep for this week's coverville and uh and that's about it any hint as to what we're what coverville will be about no i haven't even looked to see whose birthday's coming up or who it's gonna you know what it's who the subject is going to be so right now you all know as much as i do you ever have like a last minute contingency
Starting point is 01:33:21 if someone dies or whatever where you're like slip them in you know what I mean like yeah oh yeah I mean like you know let's say heaven forbid let's say well let's say some famous musician dies tomorrow then I will absolutely scramble together a show that's a sign that we're starting to believe what people say about us say the name exactly like yes we say their name but that's the thing it's like and I break the rules for those shows where I try in most shows not to play songs I've played on the show before so if I do like a you know a regular clash episode, for example. I try not to play songs that I've played on previous Clash cover stories.
Starting point is 01:34:01 So somebody could listen to all the Clash cover stories and have like a six-hour clash enjoyment fest. But if somebody dies, then I kind of break that rule because, A, I need the quicker turnaround time. And B, because I want not just to have a good selection of their songs, but I want, if I've already played what I consider to be the best cover, of one of their songs on a previous show, I don't want to have to, like, play a different cover so that I don't, you know, they deserve, in passing, they deserve a tribute with the best covers of all of their songs.
Starting point is 01:34:35 Well, you guys just got a behind-the-curtain look at how Coverville is made. There you go. Sausage, right there. That's the sausage coming out of the grinder. Look at Brian sausage. All right, moving on. Let's thank some patrons real quick.
Starting point is 01:34:47 Actually, so we don't have any new ones since yesterday, which isn't that unusual, to do a fun little thing. When there's no names here, I'm going to do this more often. So if you haven't signed up at patreon.com slash TMS, the next three new patrons that sign up at any level, doesn't matter which one you're at. You've got to sign up and stay, though.

But you will get a print magnet sticker pack that includes some sort of print signed by me, some art for me as well a magnet likely based on my own artwork possibly carters i forget what i have over here and a sticker pack of some sort uh will come to you in the mail internationally locally doesn't matter we'll cut we'll cover the costs on it it doesn't matter we're sending it
Starting point is 01:35:36 to the next three patrons who signed up and the last guy that signed up was uh let's see mailman wasn't it i think it was mailman so what i'm going to do is automatically because mailman you know he didn't know about this opportunity. I'm going to give Mailman one as well. So the next three plus Mailman, they all get a frog pants megapack for me. Okay? And galactically as well, codes from home.

Starting point is 01:36:18 And if you've got feedback, thoughts, and comments, send us an email, the morning stream at gmail.com. I like the end of the show with a nice little song in my heart, and I can't do it unless Brian brought one. So what'd you bring? Well, let's do one going out to one of the unsung heroes of TMS, a person who doesn't always get the credit they deserve for their little secret behind the scenes contributions. I'm talking about Ice Warm, aka Mike, who wrote in to say, hello, stacked actors in breakout. That is tracks one and two off of his favorite Foo Fighters record. There's nothing left to lose. I'm here in California about to go to the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert.
Starting point is 01:36:57 L.A. represent. I was supposed to see the Foo Fighters back in August. However, after the tragic passing of Taylor Hawkins, the tour was understandably canceled. I was lucky enough to get tickets to the L.A. tribute show. I'm still shocked I was able to get a ticket because it sold out in minutes. Definitely a once-in-a-lif-lif-I've ever seen one. so any cover either by or of the foo fighters would be awesome i leave it in brian's very capable hands to pick a great one love the show though mike aka iceworms the best he does all sorts of little secrety things that none of you know about but he does him without blinking he's amazing and he has the softest ears on the planet i don't know why yeah it's weird they're made out of some material that isn't known to man it's very odd they're like little lamb's ears anyway uh how about this one right here uh a lot of people's face favorite foo fighters song is ever long i think mine might be ever long i love that track
Starting point is 01:37:51 it's really good um how about a cover by the band first to 11 they released this one last year on volume 10 of their covers series here's ever long by first two 11 see you guys tomorrow Oh, I've waited for you for you ever long. I throw myself in too And out of the right Out of the head she's saying Come down And waits away with me
Starting point is 01:39:11 Down with me Down with me There's no how you wanted to be. I'm over my head, out of the head she's saying. And I wonder, and nothing along with you. If everything could ever feel is real forever, If anything could ever be this good heart yet
Starting point is 01:39:49 The only thing I'll ever ask of you You gotta promise not to stop when I say when she sang So I can breathe you in, hold you in. And now I know you've always been out of your head, out in my head I say. And I wonder, when I sing along with you, When I sing along with you If everything could ever feel this real forever If anything could ever be this good again
Starting point is 01:40:54 The only thing I'll ever ask of you You gotta promise I'll stop to stop when I say when she's saying And I wonder, is that we're going to be able to be able to be. And I wonder if everything could ever feel this real forever. If anything could ever be this good, oh, yeah The only thing I ever ask of you You gotta promise not to stop when I'm saying, This show is part of the Frog Pants Network. Frog Pants Network.
