Huh, what's this wire for? Snip. Scott's Unforgiven avoidance of parasite. A laptop named Bill. What's in the bag? What's in the bag? Well, I wouldn't look in that bag. Sorry. On the fresh hot backside.

Defication, delicatessen, desecration. The most Harry Pratchett clip with Amy and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. When you have a bad day, give up. Go home and sleep. Fuck it. Try again tomorrow. Some days are f***ed and cannot be unfit. When you have a day that is f*** beyond repair, that is the universe speaking to you,

sending you a message, listen to the universe, go home, save your energy. Tomorrow is another day. For now, just fucking chill. Mrs. Peacock was a man? Yeah, the morning stream. I got a middle. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to TMS for Friday, September 30th, 22. I'm Scott, and that's Brian. Hi, Brian. Hello. Oh, hello. Happy Friday to you. It's weird. It's weird in here on a Friday. It is weird. It's weird. It's weird. Yeah. We're doing it a slightly different time, 10 a.m. Friday. That's because the internet went out yesterday while the show was going. stream started out fine and then

pre-show I should say and after a bunch of wrestling around with problems and resets and all that turns out it was a physical line cut and I couldn't do nothing about it so we're making up for it now okay

sometimes there's just nothing you can do but say effort yeah and guess what having a backup ISP makes no difference if they share like a joint whatever you call it like a little fork

they share that and that's what got cut And now I'm just like, well, all right, why do I pay for both of you? Right. It's basically just, you know, it's getting the same burger from two different fast food places. Well, all right, both, if the meat stops, the cows stop producing the meat, they start becoming artificial. Whatever choke point the cows are, that's the choke point I hit with the internet yesterday. Hopefully that means we're all good. I mean, I was able to stream all last yesterday afternoon, no issues.

who's had some sort of sloppy early fix time that it kind of fixed itself over time. But the rest of the day, great. Corps went off without a problem. It went really long, three and a half hours, good Lord. That was a long show. And now we're here. Holy cow. Really?

Wow. Like, is that pre-show and regular show, or is that all just regular show? So the show itself, the pre-show was 18 minutes. The post show, or sorry, the show show was three hours like, or something and then posho was another like 15 to 20

so yeah it's a beast it was a lot but it's always it's always about two and a half but we usually don't hit the three hour mark

that was that was crazy oh I love it I love it yeah you want to have us go long have big news like stadia being canceled have that come up

and then we'll have a lot to talk about so now the big question is Kim's been gone for 24 hours yep what have you eaten well I'm having a Coke

zero for breakfast and uh I had And, no, I actually did okay. Last night, Carter, while I was doing the core, Carter went to the food trucks. We have a Thursday night food truck thing that's a regular thing around here. Cool. And so she and her friends went over there, and they got me a barbecue thing. Okay.

It was like chicken, butter chicken something with beans and like just a kind of barbecuey thing. So I did okay last night. It was fine. Good, good. Yesterday for lunch Carter made. There's a lot of Carter helped. Yeah, it sounds like as long as car. can fill the role of food, prep and delivery. I didn't really realize it until I noticed her name has come up three times now.

And I'm like, oh, maybe I'm not really, not really fending for myself this week. It's the same. Yeah. But she gets home, let's see, tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, she gets home at like afternoon and it'll all be good. She's out there now and doing fine. Everything's going good. She said it was a little bit weird, though, because they went to her sister's house, which is the scene of the crime.

and there are still bullets like lodged into the garage wall God, I was thinking about that. Yeah, that, it's got to be just really hard for her sister just being there, being there in that house. Yeah, she kind of can't wait to move. She's going to get out of there soon as she can.

But, you know, it's good. She's got family around. Her parents are there. And the cops, this is kind of weirded me out. The cops did an investigation, but they left bullets in things. And I thought part of that investigation process would mean the extraction of bullets from walls and stuff.

Yeah. But I guess, the, today, well, today some inspectors coming by that's working for her lawyer that will now look at all this. So maybe they have to keep some of that in there for. Maybe for insurance purposes. That would make sense, right? All right, we finished our investigation, but in order for you to get reparations, then we need to leave things in the state so that your adjuster can see them.

Yeah. So they're going through all that right now, and it's all real lame. like it was really weird seeing all these bullet holes knowing where he was standing like just all that stuff it's just weird man anyway should be home someday life will go back to somewhat normal around here and uh we got halloween to look for it too so there's that yeah yeah hey uh i also watched unforgiven don't ask me why it just did so i took yeah well you don't have anything else on your list so might as well here's the reason well here's partially the reason i didn't have to act on it but i did um done always been trying to forever try to talk us all in

to think in 2BTV is a cool place to go. Oh, sure. And I thought, well, let me go see if these commercials are egregious or like how bad this is. Like, is it, what's their selection like? And actually, I'm kind of impressed with a selection. There's a lot of cool stuff on there. But I didn't know that, and just naturally using the Brave browser this kicked in. But even if you use some other browser with an ad blocker, you don't get into the ads at all.

Right. It's almost as if you're watching not 2BTV. Yeah. It's like I'm watching it on something else. And as far as I know, Unforgiven wasn't showing anywhere else. So I had it go for a little bit. And I was like, oh, yeah, Sally Two Trees. We never really got any closure with her in them.

Oh, yeah, Morgan Freeman's character. It turns out kind of sad, doesn't it? I don't remember exactly. And before I know it, I'm watching the whole gosh dang thing again. Wow. And it's great, by the way. Well, of course it is. We know that thing's great.

There's no... Holds up, man. No question. Like, you watch it now and you don't even feel... It doesn't feel like a movie made in 92. feels like something you could have just made yesterday. But anyway, it's very good. Recommend it.

It's on Tooby for with commercials if you're watching it on your television. But if you're on a browser, you can get around this stuff. Yeah. And not streaming anywhere else, commercial free. Not that I know of. I didn't look that hard, but, you know, it's usually the way it works. And then they'll rotate it back on. Netflix will get it for a while and they'll lose it and whatever.

But anyway, it was fun. Okay, Brian, you, who texted me yesterday and said, I have the ultimate lift story. I can't win for tomorrow. So now I'm dying to hear what happened. Oh, we've got to play intro. Hold on. I'll play the intro.

Be courteous and obey traffic regulation. All right, go for it. And I even said in my message, I'm currently on the strangest lift ride I've ever given. It's not like, ooh, just finished a weird lift ride. No, I was actually able to send you a message while this weird lift ride was going. And that said it was from Siri's help. Did you have to say this out loud? And could they hear you?

I did. I did say it out loud. So, all right, let's get to the story. All right. Let's hear it. All right. So, doing Lyft yesterday, drop somebody off in a little part of town called Cherry Creek. Cherry Creek is the Beverly Hills of the Denver area. It's the pricey area.

It's the, like, all the fancy restaurants and the expensive shopping mall and the, you know, the furs and jewelry stores and stuff like that. Sure. and a salon, apparently. So I get a new lift ride. And then it says note included with lift ride, which means that the person who requested the lift ride has sent me a text message, usually to say, here's the gate code,

or come around to the west side of the building, that was where I'm at, et cetera. Like, it's usually something along those lines. Right. Like, okay, make sense. And I sent you the message that they sent me, and I'll read it now for the chat room. It says, hey, if it's okay, I left my money at work. I'm going to have one of my coworkers just give it to you to drop off to me.

Nobody's actually going to be writing if that's okay, period. They didn't say period. I didn't even put a period there. I just added there because it along there. I love that they would have said period. That would have been great. I'll give you a $10 tip. I reply back, okay, sure.

I'm thinking, wow, you know, probably left their paycheck at work, or maybe they left wallet with $200 or something like that. And I'm looking at the ride, and it is a 12-and-three-quarter-mile drive, 31 minutes that it's going to take me to pick up from point A and deliver at point B. So, all right, cool, interesting. I pull up to this hair salon, and I flip the little button. that says, I've arrived, and somebody on their phone comes out and says, here you go, and hands me a $20 bill. Okay. Folded $20 bill. All right.

And I kind of look at her like, this is it. She's like on the phone. Yep, thanks. And then she gets back to her talk and runs back into the salon. Weird. $20 bill. Yeah. That cost them, I looked it up, $34 to deliver, not including the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

the promised $10 tip that I still haven't received. Oh, so they didn't even give you the tip, but still. They didn't give me the tip, but I don't, at this point, I don't care about the tip. I'm thinking myself, you have 31 minutes on this drive. I have 31 minutes to try and think of, all right, how is this a scam? How am I getting taken advantage of? How am I getting bamboozled? Like, should I not have touched that $20 bill with my actual fingerprints?

Is it used, was it used in a crime and they're turning it over to the, police? Is there drugs all over the $20 bill? Are these just the stupidest money launderers ever? Like, what's going on here? Yeah. Weird. I unfold. I did, I mean, I did unfold the bill just to make sure there was nothing weird inside, like a little baggy or anything. No, it was just a $20 bill folded for us. So I get to the delivery point, and it's this young kid. I'm thinking the whole time i'm thinking god there's got to be a great story behind this and i was currently on the ride when i texted you like wait till i tell you about this this bizariness of basically no wonder you were saying it out loud because you're talking there's a 20 in the car it's not a person all i'm

carrying is uh is alex no not alexander hamilton uh who am i carrying um uh oh god why can't i remember who's on the 20 all of a sudden it's uh i can't think of it is how little we use paper money these days. Jackson, Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson, the racist one. Yeah, he's on there. Right, exactly. Yes. So we're, you know, I'm driving, like, all in my head, I'm thinking, oh, okay, you know, maybe, you know, maybe there's, this is on somebody else's expense account, and they're really trying to stick it to somebody.

And they just needed something to put in the ride to, you know, to do or whatever. Yeah. I get to the location. I, you know, I pull up. And the kid comes, kid comes out, maybe 22, 23 old kid, roll down the window. And I say, here you go. And I said, just out of curiosity, how much did it cost you for me to drive this down? He's like, ah, 20 bucks.

Which I know is a lie because I looked it up. Yeah, you have access to it. I have access to that. And I said, so why? And he said, oh, well, I've got a lot of DoorDash credits that apparently work with Lyft. And so I just used DoorDash credit to get my $20 delivered from my work. And I'm thinking, still, you could use that $20 of DoorDash credit to pay, I don't know, for DoorDash. I mean, is this $20 so crucial that you needed this?

this cash in hand for some sort of transaction that you couldn't have done with a credit card or with a debit card or something like that. Do you feel like it was part of some desperate drug deal or something weird like that? I don't know. I don't think so because, I mean, what, you know. Kind of have cash. I don't know. It seems like the tougher part of the drug deal is the transportation of the drugs, not the,

not the passing along of the money. Yeah. It feels like the money transaction could have been done if I was going to carry anything. it would have been the drugs. I'm really curious. Like I'm, now I want to know. I need to know. How are we ever going to find out?

I know. I know. And that's the last I'm going to know of this whole story. But it's, it was not a very satisfying answer from this kid about why he spent $34. 15 of which, I mean, I got 15 for that drive.

Again, not including the promised and never received $10. That's really weird. My opinion on that. That is, yeah, not getting a tip is fine because the story itself is worth it. And I had to save, I mean, basically, I took screenshots of all of this stuff because, A, it doesn't seem like anyone would believe me if I told them the story. Yeah, I delivered a $20 bill halfway across town. That does seem like an odd thing to tell anyone ever.

It's a very weird idea. B, protection, in case shit goes down and you show the police, no, here's the text message I got. here's the way bill here's the information no that's wild dude what a weird thing i wonder if you i mean i could have taken the 20 canceled the ride and he would have come out ahead yeah he would have yeah he would have had more money in the end he would have had more money in the end are you what if you did you consider swapping one of your 20s with their 20 just to see oh hell no no it was there was there was um there was a little part of me thinking i wonder if this is some sort of weird test of, you know, like, driver honesty.

Like, you know, I said, oh, all they gave me was this $10 bill to give to you or or give them a different 20 and they'll say, oh, the serial number doesn't match the 20 we gave you. What did you stop and get a coffee on the way or? Weird. And the 20 was a good passenger. It didn't ask for water and didn't change the station, like the music you played. It didn't ask for the heat to be turned up, didn't open the window.

Well, God, good thing. It didn't open the windows. no kidding right dang yeah but it's just i've you know i've i've i've driven a laptop before which made sense because somebody needed it for work sure um the roommate said yeah here you you'll brought it to the car here you go and i delivered downtown Denver but i've never had to deliver a twenty dollar bill and i don't think i'll ever have to deliver a twenty dollar bill ever again yeah that's why that's a great story though you can be able to you know this is why i love lift stuff because there's always something, something weird.

The potential, the potential for odd is always there. It's just a matter of, you're going to hit it or not. It really is, yeah. And the two rides I had after that, I told them the story, and I said, what do you think? What's the deal? And we were all trying to come up with reasons as well and couldn't do it. I didn't know that you could, that the service even had a way for you to take stuff to people. I just thought it was people, people.

I didn't realize that. Technically, I mean, they treated it as a ride. It was, you know, I was transporting a laptop that was named Bill, basically. Is really what it came down to. I've even seen lift rides take dogs before without people. And it's just basically getting it from a dog sitter back to the owner. And they don't have access to a car or something. And you realize it basically just use it as a courier service.

I didn't know that was the thing you could do. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. All right. Well, maybe next time you get a 50. I don't know how they feel about it. If Lyft would have a problem with me or somebody transporting a dog. Well, I mean, they couldn't get mad at you, could they? Because you're just responding, responding to the call. Yeah, but I could say, no, I can't take a dog without a human companion. Oh, I see. So you could have turned down this 20. If it was a service dog, yeah, as long as there's a human companion with it. Right. But if you could have turned down this 20, you just, you just, you just,

no reason to so you'd you know yeah i could have um and they don't have rules somewhere explicitly saying anything any other stuff because that just seems that seems crazy to me that they wouldn't have at least some rules because what would stop you from you're like what if somebody said look i've got eight pounds of marijuana it's legal here in colorado and i just need to move this somewhere i and you would be technically breaking trafficking laws i think even though the we itself is legal that's true exactly yeah and lift you know i've taken food before, too, right? Like, you know, you pick up food at some place and you deliver it to somebody and it's still, it's still just considered Lyft. It's not considered DoorDash or Uber Eats or Grub or anything like that. There is, Lyft does have some sort of connection to one of those. Obviously, not Uber Eats, but one of the other ones. And I don't know which, which one, but, um, but prescriptions, food, auto parts. I mean, I'm, I'm able to, to do that. Um, can you pick up sexual eats. I'm just looking to see if there are any rules or anything. Should pick up sexual aides at the drugstore.

You know, a box of condoms for some guy named Larry in the... Right, yeah, exactly. Look, if it's... That's the question. Let's say I get a bag folded over, but not stapled, not taped, nothing like that. And it's like, you know, pot brick-sized. But the opening is folded over. Now, me, I would not...

I would basically take a picture of it when it's put in my car, take a picture of it when I arrive at the place so that you see the time stamps on the two so that people can say, yeah, you know, those wrinkles match exactly. That bag was not moved or opened or anything like that. But anybody else out there, would you open it, Scott? Like, would you say, I've got to know what's in there? Oh, if it's not sealed is the big kicker, right? Right, exactly.

No, you know, there'd really be no way. for the recipient to know that you just peeked in the bag. There's no staple, there's no tape, there's nothing. I might look. I'm trying to think, you know, like what circumstances would make it so I would like be, if it was just like a lunch bag, barely folded over, not even tightly folded, just sort of hanging there. You mean a brown paper bag, not a lunch bag like it says Taco Bell. Right, not like that.

I don't need to look at that. But if it was just a brown paper bag, nondescript, and I felt like a little brick in there, I think I'd peek. I think I would. Even though I think I shouldn't, I think I would. If I'm being honest,

like I would be so freaking curious. And also, if I'd committed to a thing, I'd kind of want to know, like if I looked at it and went, oh my gosh, this is a brick of cocaine. I'd call the cops and,

you know, I'd immediately like turn this shit over and get it out of my car is what I would want to do. So, yeah, I think I'd peak. If it was sealed, no. Yeah, well, of course. I'm not going to open it that way, even though it's not mail. I mean, I'm not...

BioCal has the best answer. What if there was a phone live streaming at the bottom of the bag facing up? So, in other words, it is literally a, like a ceramic brick with a phone, an iPhone pointing upwards with the live streaming. What would be live streaming? You? Or they would be filming you? Yeah, live streaming to see if the driver opens the bag.

Oh, I see. So they're just, they're filming me opening it. Yeah. Then they would have my face. Yeah. And then you'd get stitches, I think. Per the, uh, the, the, uh, the, uh, snitches v. stitches, uh, case of 1972. Sure.

That was an important case. Case law has never been the same since then, yeah. Yeah. Well, it's all marked rober. Yeah. Interesting. I, uh, I don't know, but I'd love this. it. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't open the bag.

Yeah. The more we talk it through, I think this is good, because if I ever am forced faced with this, I don't think I'd look at the bag. Yeah. Because then if I took it, at the very least, I would dump it off and it's out of my hands. And then if it turned into a big thing, I could say, yeah, I had this bag. I took, here's a photo of the bag that I took.

And then here's where I dropped it off. And I took a photo of that. And I did what the app told me to do. And there's nothing in the terms of services to say, I can't do this. So you'd be in the clear that way. and never know, yeah. You know what? You're right.

That's the way to do it. I'd still be curious as shit, though. Oh, for sure. And I would, without a doubt, when I got to the recipient, I'd say, can you tell us? So what's in the bag? What did I just drive somewhere? Yeah. And if they're like, I'm not telling you.

Then I know it's Coke or pot or something. Yeah. What if they pull out like that? Oh, it's a, it's a copy of Candyland for my kids. Candy land. You just basically hauled candy land across town. That's great. Shoots and ladders.

You know, I collect them all. Got a good deal on it. That's fantastic. What a great story. Yeah. All right. Well, may more of that happen in your lifting experience? Let's hope.

Let's hope. I'm going to do a little bit more. I'm going to go see my chemical romance tonight. Thanks to listener. Shoot, I had his name in front of me. Anthony, I think it is. That's cool. Yeah.

just he bought tickets he couldn't use and um they changed the date basically is the problem um oh the band he wasn't able to make the the new date yeah the the band changed the dates oh and they didn't get wow usually get options for maybe they did have options for refunds or something when they do that probably did and i imagine they would have to right yeah you'd think so um so uh so he's like you want these tickets and i looked and they're like 10th row first like first level 10th row. Yeah. Do you like My Chemical Romance?

Are you fans? I could name maybe five My Chemical Romance songs. Gotcha. All right. Yeah. I'm looking at their... So... I don't even know if I can do that.

Like, Welcome to the Black Parade. Teenagers. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na. Oh, that song, yeah. Yeah, uh, what else, what else? It's a song called something last words, final last words, famous last words. The decay of my ineptitude or something.

I mean, there are all, there are a lot of songs that sound like, like the literal verbal equivalent of, uh, well, maybe you'll come away a giant mega fan. Oh, I might. I might. You know what? I think regardless, it's going to be an awesome show. Like, it's going to be bombastic and big and, you know. Oh, okay, it's interesting. Here's their timeline.

They've founded in 2001, I think, two, something like that, played all the way up until 2013, disbanded, said, we're out. We hate this band. We're done. Okay. Quit. Uh-huh. And then 2020, they got back together. They were like, hey, man, it's a pandemic.

We should make music in our basements. And they did. so now that's why they're back so you get to see him on the on the fresh hot backside of her yes exactly the the we uh needed the money to her very nice uh all right nicky rodin to it's gonna be fun i think so too i'm and i hope something weird happens there you know yeah all i care about is content i want brian to get peed on or something weird and then oh thanks i mean i don't want you i'm sure there's a better thing that could happen to me than getting peed on that would still be good content i hope you see someone else get peed on that's what i okay there we go that that'd be good I don't want you to get pee on you. Nikki Ackermans wrote in. We know her. She's smart. She cloned sheep.

She's great. She was runner up on the third season of A&P. That's right. And now she's got an awesome. Parlayed it into a DTNS career. That's right. She has some cool new gig at some, not zoo, but like a research animal thing that she's all excited about. Anyway, Nikki wrote in, says, Dear Stem and Bow, when talking about Scott's cruise ship

adventure. You asked if anyone who worked on ships wanted to ride in, well, not only am I your friendly neighborhood sheep scientist, but I also worked on yachts for a few summers, and all of my family is in the industry. My dad and grandpa are naval engineers. Uncle is a captain, and my brother is a chef, or a chef. Maybe she means chief, probably chef. Oh, she definitely means chef. That's good. I guess I mean a chef on one of these boats, I suppose, is what she means. A lot of the yachts actually have a, so when you rent, a yacht for a week for $250,000. I worked, did work for a website for a lady down to Fort Lauderdale.

So probably the ships that the Ackermans were on, where you see prices for these things for like a week. And it's like, yeah, you get a full crew, and some of these bedrooms look better than your bedroom in your house. And how much of those usually, do you think, for a week? $235 to $250,000 a week to $1,000. to sail to the whatever's, the Azores or the Trinidad and Tobago. Buy a cheap house for that.

Oh, yeah. Horrible. Anyway, she says, I was a deckhand since the stewardess has spent most of their time cleaning and not enjoying the outdoors wherever the boat was. So she liked working on the deck. Cool. Anyway, I have lots of stories and quirks about mega rich people on a huge boat. And she gives us a little list.

One time our generator died, so we had to eat all the Wagyu beef and lobster before the freezer thawed. That was a shame. Tarn. Yeah, it's a real bummer. My main job was to get up every morning, jump off the bow, and line up all the jet skis outside for the guests in the morning. Even if they didn't plan on using them. I also had to consistently wash things that had already been cleaned, including outdoor ceilings, which made a drop of ice cold water drip down my armpit and is probably the reason I couldn't bear the job. You're cleaning the ceilings.

I hate that feeling. Spence if it's cold. Blah. It says I had to wake up a few times in the middle of the night to make sandwiches for the guests coming back from parties. Makes sense? I don't know if I want a 2 a.m. sandwich from someone who's just sleeping prior to that. Anyway, I was youngest, or I was the youngest, so I was stuck on watch from 3 to 6 a.m. looking for floating ship containers that didn't get picked up on the radar.

Talking about Scott's weed question, it's illegal to have drugs and guns in international waters. my uncle once got arrested because of a certain D-O-D-O-D-G because of this. I assume she means... Don't know, Snoopy, poopie, poop dog. Who she must be talking about. Interesting. Then we go on here to say when crossing the Atlantic, there's usually a party halfway through to baptize sailors

who make the crossing for the first time. For us, it meant saving all the food scraps from the first half of the trip and dumping them on to the poor sailors, then hosing them off the fire hose while dressed as Poseidon. Crossings are boring. We had to stay entertained, she says. I have more stories. Happy to share him best, Nicky. That's great, Nicky.

That's awesome. If that kind of debauchries happen on a small boat, there's got to be some kind of stuff going on on on big cruise ships that we just didn't hear about. I don't know what, but yeah, that's, you know, we have the secret life of the cruise ship or whatever the documentary you watch. I want the

cruise ship after dark. Oh, yeah, dude. Which is probably sadly one of those stupid Bravo shows, isn't it? It's going to be like below deck well who was it was it film sack or randy or somebody was saying that there's a lot of sex on those the cruise yeah we were saying it here because we found a top 10 things you didn't know about cruise ships when we were looking up the confirmation on that i 95 thing oh right it was here and there was a yeah there was a uh there was like a list of all the the things that you wouldn't expect happen on boats and one of them was uh all the sex yeah

one of it was sex yes putting the wieners to the vagina is. That's what you do. Just pressing, firmly pressing one up against the other. That's right. Yeah, you've got to get it in. All right.

We're going to now do some news and see how that goes. So enjoy this. It's time for the news brought to you by. Now live on Kickstarter until the end of the day. Like in Solomon's Odyssey Chapter 2, a beautifully illustrated 72 page graphic. novel continuing the story of the world's first werewolf. This book

delves into ancient Arabic folklore mythology and horrifying monsters 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 www.likenbook.com. That's L-Y-C-A-N book.com. Fantastic. All right, this is a weird

story, and I never saw this, so I don't know who this kid is, but I have a picture of it so people can help me identify it. Anyway, the Diary of a Wimpy Kid actor, turns out, murdered his mom. Cool. And also admitted to a plot to kill the Canadian Prime Minister, you know, that handsome guy. Yeah, the Trudeau. The Trudeau, yeah.

What a handsome man. It says here from the, an actor from the beloved 20th Century Fox movie franchise, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Is it beloved? I don't know, because I've, I've never seen it. I don't, I can't speak to whether it's beloved. loved or not. Because doesn't it just exist? Like, it's just a thing.

Anyway, whatever. He was also on Riverdale Supernatural and Eye Zombie. All right. So a bunch of WB-style things. Yep. In a movie called Liz. Oh, the Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassas, which I did want to see, but I never did. Yeah.

That's the, um, it's another one with, uh, what's his face that was made that was released after his death, uh, the Joker. yeah Heath Ledger Yeah That was the What's his name The Monty Python guy

Yeah I think he was name Terry Gilliam There we go Terry Gilliam I never saw that one I've seen all his movies Yeah it's one I wanted to see

Yeah never saw that one I think I was sad I think I was like I don't want to see this last movie made thing Sure That's annoying to me Anyway so here's the deal This kid did all this

Gary, or Ryan Grantham, he's now 24 years old, pled guilty to second degree murder in March after killing his mother and the British Columbia, sorry, and the British Columbia Supreme Court began to hear his case this week. According to CBC, he shot his 64-year-old mother in March of 2020, allegedly loaded his car the next day with three guns, ammunition, a dozen Molotov cocktails, camping supplies, and directions to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's family house. it's those printed out MapQuest directions that get you every time. Every time. Damn it MapQuest. Damn you. Grant them allegedly missed. He admitted to his plans to kill the Prime Minister to the police as well as excerpts from his private journal to read in court. Let's see. He never made it to the residence, turned himself in in Vancouver. Court hearing is underway. Let's see. They revealed that he rehearsed the murder and took videos. He also recorded videos confessing to the murder after killing and showed. his mother's body. Boy, this guy's got some, need some help. Pretty bad. Hope he's able to find it. I hope so. I don't know how you go from like,

well, whatever. Not that making movies makes you better, but you know, it's a seem like he was doing fine, you know, all this stuff going on. And then bam. Yeah. Mental health. All right, move on. No joke, man. No joke. No joke indeed. Here's one. This one is

kind of a joke. Man caught urinating and defecating on ex-wife's grave. I guess, well, that's, uh, yeah. He got the last laugh. Yeah, he did. A New Jersey man was caught urinating on his ex-wife's grave near five decades after their divorce.

Wow. Michael Andrew Murphy was horrified as he captured, uh, this, this desecration on September 18th. The gravesite is in, uh, let's see, in the Tappan Reformed Church Cemetery in Orangetown, New York. It was the resting place of his mother, mother, to Torlello, and none of that matters. Oh, geez, okay. Murphy told local news outlets that his mother's ex-husband was leaving feces and urine on his mother's headstone for months. Apparently holding onto a grudge from the 1970s.

The suspect 68-year-old Dean Etcher, Etchler, was briefly married to Torrello before they divorced in 1974. They've had no contact since 76. They were only married for a year. They had a bad breakup, says Murphy. this shouldn't happen anyone so the guy's got such he and his sister started finding deli bags

filled with feces at their mother's grave in April deli bags deli bags I don't like this at all on rye yeah you like the

you want the pepperoni is this shit kosha uh man like get over it dude it's over it's done it's passed Yeah, I feel like this is a, well, again, you know, I can't get into other people's heads,

but this much time, you're just going to, you're just going to say, oh, well, now she's dead. I'm going to poop on her grave, a whole bunch. Godly. Very weird. It's very weird. So there's that. Watch for that, everybody. If you go to a grave and you see a bag, a deli bag.

Right. Don't pick it up. Don't touch it. Yeah, get out of there. Anyway, he's in trouble. I don't know what you do for that, though. I don't know what the law is that you're breaking when you're doing that. And it might just be public desecration.

Is there a desecration? Like a grave thing? I don't know. I don't know if, yeah, I don't know if there's an actual law. My mom used to say that. She used to say, if you walk on graves, they'll arrest you. She'd tell us when we were little. No way, really?

She was lying, but she said that. And that was just her way to have us not get on graves. Sure, be, yeah, exactly respectful and walk between them. I would just say, you know, if you walk on the graves, when they come back to life, they can reach through and grab your foot. That's not bad. That's just as realistic. Yeah.

Just as realistic of a story. I would have preferred that. The funny thing is, though, it's kind of our fault. It's adult's fault because we make cemeteries. Modern cemeteries have a lot of headstones that are flat to the earth, right? Not necessarily ones that stick up. So when you go to some of them, especially this one out here, my dad's buried, every gravestone is just like an equidistant. skipping stone like right right like a paver yeah and so when you put a bunch of kids in there

and they see this grid this checkerboard of fun things to jump on what do we expect them to do you're basically saying look at this big game of hopscotch we found for you yeah they're six years old they don't know so go easy on the on the children someone think of the children all right uh here's a fun story I don't know how I'd feel about this a box of 200 mosquito did the vaccinating in a malaria trial. And that is not a joke. One Seattle morning, Carla Reid or Carolina Reid, rather, sat in a room with nine other volunteers, each waiting to take part in a clinical trial for a new experimental

malaria vaccine. We're always working on that malaria, you know. We've got to get that there. Her turn came. She put her arm over the cardboard box filled with 200 mosquitoes and covered with a mesh that keeps them in, but still lets them bite. Oh, God, okay. Yep.

Literally a Chinese food takeout container is how she remembers it. I doubt it was literally that. A scientist then covers her arm with a black cloth because mosquitoes like to bite at night. Then the feeding begins. The whole arm swelled and blistered, she says. My family was laughing asking me, why do you subject yourself to this? And she didn't do it just once. She went back and did it five times.

I hope she got paid a lot for that, but that's, Uh, interesting. So, so, so they're letting, they're letting the mosquitoes. How are they administering, like, how are they, how are the, uh, how is the vaccine getting into the mosquitoes?

Because it's not a natural, like, oh, we have some mosquitoes that are born with the vaccines, some that are born with malaria, like how. Well, here's how it works. So it's actually not that different than traditional vaccines, but instead they just use the bugs themselves. But anyway, they say, there's what the doctor says. We use the mosquitoes like there are a thousand small flying syringes, says, the University of Washington.

The lead author on that thing. Let's see. The insect delivers live malaria causing plasmodium parasites that have been genetically modified to not get people sick. The people still make antibodies against the weakness or the weakened

parasites so it's prepared to fight the real thing one day. So it's really not that different than getting it in a syringe. I don't know why they have to have it this way and not the syringe. It's not so bad. You're not getting stung by a weird mosquito. That mosquito is just putting parasites in you.

Oh, that's so much better. I mean, it is literally the process that, I don't know why this is a thing because the process of getting a vaccine is often involves either a modified or dead or weakened version of the virus, right? Yeah, right. And they inject it into your arm. That's what these mosquitoes are doing. But why? Why not just do the syringe? could you

and they don't really tell you here they don't answer the question I mean is the is the thinking that let's say you've got a population that maybe 50% is hearing misinformation about a vaccine and they believe it from Facebook and so here's a good way

to get everybody vaccinated is just fill the area with a million mosquitoes and let that handle it well they are saying here later on that the doctors or the scientists are theorizing that this will be a better response to the real problem than you would get from a single shot.

That getting kind of this- Oh, really? Wow. This swarm thing is supposed to actually help you be more resistant. So I don't know. Freaking. Yeah. We're going to go release these mosquitoes at, I don't know, a Trump rally or Sturgis or... Oh, Sturgis would be great. Sturgis would be perfect, right?

At a smash-mouth concert. Yeah. Start them on stage. Have him come out of what's his name now. He'll go somebody, and then it'll go flying out. Like Candyman. Instead of bees, it'll be mosquitoes. Yeah, I can't wait.

It's going to be great. I'm going to Sturgis next time. Yeah. All right, check this out. I love this story. Church is using shameware apps to make sure members don't watch any porn. This is great. The Evangelical Southern Baptist Church,

excuse me, known as Grace Point, was caught relying on a little more than God's watchful gaze to keep an eye on members in his congregation. And if the church feels compelled to clarify it is not a cult. Anyway, members joining Grace Point's congregation are asked to install an app called Covenant Eyes. Okay. Which is explicitly marketed as an anti-pornography app. And according to a must-read investigation by Wired,

Covenant Eyes spies on members' web traffic takes a screenshot of their phone screens every single minute and then sends this information to the accountability partner. in quotes, in reality as more like spyware. I mean, that basically is what it is. I don't think this would even run on an iPhone. They're not going to let this in here. This is like Android and stuff. I don't think so.

No. Okay, so I'm fine with that. I won't watch any porn, but it's going to take a picture on my screen every minute. And it's going to know that I'm currently at church and not take pictures of my screen every minute all the time. Yeah. Holy crap.

I mean, literally, holy crap. Yeah. And also, I'm not going to join that dumb church. Forget it. this is a bad this is a bad yeah covenant I would please install this if you're no no no I'm good I'm not coming in that you guys are weird that's just weird even for look I don't care if you're here's here's what I think is true yeah yeah people who go this hardcore on this sort of thing are hiding something it's always a case of don't protest too much for you always and I'm almost always always right about it I hate being right about it but it's often true clearly the the the um the head pastor or whatever is big into porn and is like, I've got to make sure nobody watches porn. Yeah, he's got to overcompensate for his porn use.

Yeah, yeah. And it's almost always the case. So I guess what I'm saying is Grace Point. No. All right, we're going to take a break, play a song. When we come back, we're going to have some reading time with Amy. She's going to recommend a book. Yeah, I'm very excited about that.

So stick around for that. We've got to play this song, though. What do you got over there? Burning a hole. I've got a group called Cave States. they have a brand new LP. It's called Liminal. Just came out last week, September, I'm sorry, earlier this week, September 26th.

So it's just a few days, a few days since release. These guys kind of remind me a little bit of, oh, like a mellower, Mumford and Sons, maybe, luminaires probably would fit, you know, fit with a concert with them. Anyway, it's really, really good stuff. Here is the first single from the brand new album, Liminal by Cave States. It's called Something for Someone.

Looking for a hand from time to time Trying to be Something for someone Nothing for no one Something for someone tonight on the other side Looking for some kind of sign Something to say

Everything will be all right Trying to be Something for someone Nothing for no one Something for someone tonight We're raised by rules Caught into the race Talked that love was a game

Standing in place But the longer you wait The longer it takes Trying to be something for someone, nothing to no one, nothing to no one, something for no one, tonight Check out the dirty bird Ain't it gay I'm just glad you're doing this in the privacy of your own room

This is the morning stream with Scott Johnson and Brian Ibbett. By the Power of Grace Gold. And we're back. Hey, I have a terrible short-term memory. Who was that band again? That was, uh, I mean, it's only been four and a half minutes, Scott. That was the band Cave States from their brand new LP liminal. The song is called Something for Someone.

Like subliminal, just without the sub, right? That's the spelling. That's exactly right. Nice. Sub liminal. Nice. That's when they break up into two smaller bands, they'll both be subliminals. Oh, I thought they were the one that had to wear the collar and the ball gag, and they were the subliminals.

No? I don't know how that stuff works. I'm talking out of my element. Hey, look who it is, everybody. It's this person who has this theme. Yes, that's right. Curl up in a ball and grab a couch. We're going to talk to Amy.

how do you relax scott i don't know starting to get a little weird around here i need kim to get um anyways amy we're going to do read this and i'm really glad you could uh postpone a day with us thank you amy oh my pleasure yeah i i i didn't have anything on my calendar today so it worked out well that's awesome perfect perfect uh well good we're going to get right into it um i can tell already from what you sent me that um you're probably excited about this one because this is a this is a book you really like any any set up before i play that i am No, this is. So my only setup is, you know, we did some hard work. We covered some hard stuff last week. So I decided it was time to take a little vacation. And when I want to take a little mental vacation, my favorite place to go is Discworld. So we're going back to Discworld, folks. Back to Discworld, y'all. All right, here's a clip for you to enjoy. He tried to read grim fairy tale. They had titles like How the Wicked Queen danced in Red Hot Shoes and the Old Lady in the Oven.

There was simply no mention of clocks of any sort in any of them. Their authors seemed to have a thing about not mentioning clocks. The glass clock of bad shoeshine, on the other hand, did have a clock of a sort, and it was odd. A wicked man, readers could see he was wicked because it said he was wicked right there on the page, built a clock of glass in which he captured time herself, but things went wrong because there was one part of the clock, a spring, that he couldn't make out of glass, and it broke under the strain, and time was set free, and the man aged 10,000 years in a second, and crumbled

to dust, and, not surprisingly, in Jeremy's opinion, was never seen again. The story ended with a moral. Large enterprises depend upon small detail. Jeremy couldn't see why it couldn't have just as well been, it's wrong to trap non-existent women in clocks, or it would have worked with a glass spring. Oh my gosh, this is the most Terry Pratchett sounding clip I've ever heard. Absolutely. That's great. That also sounded like an old tape.

It sounded like they recorded this in the 70s and then just said, yep, this is what we're using. It's all good. Right. Well, and yeah, surprisingly, this was from the newer release of the audiobook, which is, it has like six or seven different narrators and, you know, sounds pretty cool. I actually haven't consumed this particular book on audiobook, but I have read it with my own eyeballs several times. It's called Thief of Time. And yes, it is by Sir Terry Pratchett. And it's my absolute favorite, favorite,

favorite disc world book. I love it. It was, this was the first disc world book I ever read. And I, I've never I love all of them and I gobble them all up but I haven't found one that I like any better than this one. It's got everything. It's got death. It's got

Susan, which if you're at all familiar with Desk World, you know Susan is one of the most fabulous characters. It's got the time monks. It's got basically everything except the watch. Everything except the guards in it.

And, you know, there's witches. There's, it's all kinds of great stuff. And I just love it. In fact, I confuse, there's a scene or several scenes, rather, where the four horsemen of the apocalypse get back together. And I often confuse the anthropomorphisms of the four horsemen of the apocalypse in this book with the ones in good omens. and which is always fun because I'm like, okay, which version of war do we get in this book? I don't remember, you know?

So, yeah, it's fantastic. Yeah, the bit you were hearing there about one of the protagonists, there's sort of two. There's a guy called Jeremy, who is a little bit odd, but he's obsessed with clocks. He's a clockmaker, and he can make, ridiculously accurate clocks. And that is just what he does.

He makes clocks. And then there is another character named Lob Seng, who is sort of an acolyte at the Time Monks Monastery. And so it switches perspectives a fair amount. And so the minute you get bored with one thing, he gives you another thing. And it's great. I absolutely love it and I don't want to give away too much but there are the antagonists of the book are the bureaucracy type creatures that are doing the paperwork of the universe and they're called auditors and yeah it's it's really fun they're all about order and so if you if you put

up a sign that says turn left but the arrow is pointing right you will you will baffle them you know so like there it's it's that level of of you know kind of goofiness but also intrigue and I I just love it it's good how many times you read it is this your first or how many times yeah oh my goodness I have read this book four or five times at least one of the times I read it this is it This is a great story, actually. One of the times I read this book was when my husband and I were on our honeymoon and we were sitting on the beach and we've got, I'll have to send you this picture, because I'll have to find it first. But it's this great picture of us sitting on the beach and we're both back to back and both of us are reading. And that was the book I was reading.

And I just turned and I looked at Chuck and I was like, you know what's awesome? reading because at the time I had small children and so it was like oh reading was not something I had time to do and so it was just

this great moment I was like you know it's awesome reading you know so it is awesome Brian you're going to say I was yeah

so the where does this fall in the can I read it as a standel and if I've never read any other Discworld book this is a good this is a good

I mean it sounds like it was the first one you read, so it was a good starting point for you? Yes. Yes. I think, I think this is a perfectly fine starting point. You probably, you know, he gives you enough exposition about who everyone is, uh, that you can absolutely just jump in and read this one. Um, you know, like I say, there's a little bit of background and stuff on characters like Susan, uh, but it's fine. She's death's granddaughter. That's fine. That's all you need to know. And thus she is conferred with certain preternatural powers. But yeah, like there. And if you, if you like a particular character and want to dig in more to them,

there's plenty of books you can go and and read more about that character, get more background on them. But yeah, the story is, is fantastic as a standalone and it works really well. Awesome. Awesome. Cool. Well, I'm, you're my go-to. two for Terry Pratchett. So if I ever get questions or concerns or thoughts or what should I read next sort of stuff, it's Amy all the way. Did you ever read Mort?

No, but I haven't downloaded on my Kindles. Just sitting there. Oh, good. So you should totally read it. It's, uh, I got to, I keep getting in there and going, oh, right. I haven't finished Stormlight Archive. I got to do that. And then I, then I forget whatever else I've got queued up.

So I'm still digging through that enormous freaking first book. Uh, but when I get done, I, that's, those are lined up. So, yeah, those are like the, the, the Discworld books are all. fairly quick easy reads. Some of them are a little heavier than others, but not this one. This one is great and it's very engaging and it goes quickly. It actually talks about a thing you guys talk about all the time.

It's good to get this one in on the last day of September because I know you guys were talking about, oh gosh, September really just flew. And then, you know, and Brian always says, no, Scott went the same speed. It always does.

It addresses that phenomenon where to some people, it feels like time is going slower than to others. Well, I imagine if there's a thief of time, then he's stealing time from Scott and somehow giving it to the rest of us. Like a cat when they take your breath at night or whatever they do. Right. Yeah. You know, I don't trust them, is what I'm saying. Well, that's great. So go check it out.

Give them the title of this book one more time so they all know where to go and get. It's called Thief. of time by Terry Pratchett Thief of Time available everywhere you get your audio and reading content. Your shirt is making me think of that little kid on TikTok because you've got a

Oh corn? Yes. I just like cone. Yeah. It's cone. Some people see it and go Why do you have a giant can of corn on your chest? And I say I don't know. You ever heard of this comic called Fred and Can? They're like no. I'm like

well then now you go. Fred and Can com and that's it's a great little marketing tool just tell them to go check it yeah exactly but uh yeah that kid with the corn fetish he's uh i shouldn't say fetish the kid who really likes corn he's awesome i love that kid i do too he's so joyful about it he's just like look at this thing i can't imagine a more beautiful thing and this mash the mashups people do with the who's who the guys that always take take viral clips and make songs out of them i can't think of their names now yeah i don't know their names either but yeah Brian you probably with the Gregory brothers.

That's it. Gregory brothers. Yeah. Okay. And they did an amazing version of this kid with this corn. It was great. I feel like those guys haven't done anything cool in a while and that one popped up on my radar and it's excellent. So find the corn kid. There's your side recommendation for today. You don't know what we're talking about. That corn kid

he's a happy little dude. And I wish I was him. And I'll go ahead and also give you another recommendation since Wendy is not here. We're doing like substitute Thursday on Friday, but Wendy's not here. I'll do it for her. Real Steps, we're starting, starting on Monday, and you can still sign up at real steps.

dot org. Wow. Very nice. Yeah, I did. I'm in lots of other cool people in it. So come join us. I got a bunch of emails. Oh, yeah, it does.

It's ending, like you just said. You got to get in there, guys. Get in there. Sign up before the cut off. Because it's awesome. And ask Amy, she'll tell you. She knows. She knows what's up.

Indeed. It is, it's great. It's great stuff. I've done it six, seven times now, and I look forward to it every time they do it. Nice. Well, that's good to hear. And Wendy, if you're listening, she isn't. But if she is, I'm sorry for chasing you down with a cold soldering iron and touching your forehead.

That'll do it for our time with Amy. Amy, thanks so much. We'll do this again next week. And have a great one. We'll see you later. You too. Bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

All right, look at this here toward the end of the show. Well, we're almost done. Oh, you're right. We are a little short today. It's okay. A little short. Yeah, but that's all right. Once in a while, it's fine.

You know, we just live. Sure. Sure. I'm not going to put extra padding in my driving a $20 bill lift story. Just to give people an extra half an hour of content, that'd be disingenuous. And I don't want to be disingenuous. There you have. Oh, hey, real quick.

Christine Fletcher email just came in. We're going to have to wedge this in. Oh, all right. We can't ignore this. All right. As long as it doesn't begin with, please don't read my, this email on the air. I've done that before. receive email.

I do that all the time. I hate it. I never read ahead. Anyway, Christine Fletcher says, hello, friends. Heard about this on NPR yesterday, and I'm going to try to sign up. As far as I know, Scott Morgan and I have not had COVID,

at least not yet. So we could be what they're calling in this, Super Dodgers. How great would that be? Scott and Kim, you should also check this out. So there's this NPR.org article. It's also part of a show. There's a six-minute listen on this thing.

Anyway, throughout the pandemic, some people have avoided catching COVID altogether, despite multiple exposures. do their immune systems have some type of protection of others those others are missing and there's this whole back and forth with this doctor or this expert that it's entirely possible that there is a subset of people who just don't freaking get it and you could be like the the kid the baby born that can see and the TV show see where nobody can see yeah nobody else can see but the baby can see on sea see oh but I'd give that show a name I was almost a super dodger so close to be Being a Superdodger. Vegas. You took it, yeah, Vegas doesn't like. Vegas is, if Vegas is going to make you not a Super Dodger, or if any place is going to, it's Vegas.

If any place is going to, right, break my Superdodger status. Yeah. So this is really interesting. I'll have to go listen to it and read it. Bobby as well. Like, I know Bobby's still clean. Still clean. Still fresh and clean.

Here, Chad. I'll put it there. You guys can click it. Brian, I'll put it in our Discord. I guess you have access to the chat, but I'll put it in here. Yeah. And, yeah, that's awesome. I don't qualify anymore, but.

Well, thank you, Christine Fletcher, as always, for your feedback and your awesomeness. We love Christine. Maybe we could have mosquitoes bite you and then come out and bite the rest of us. Hey, why not? Let's do that. Let's go right back to the source. Let's have diseased bats bite us directly. Perfect.

It's a great idea. I want to put my arm in a hole and come out with 1,000 bat bites. I'm very excited. Excellent. All right. That'll do it for us today. Thank you all for listening. and sorry again about the day bump

Yes, some old Western crooners that I've never done cover stories for before. So it was time to get to him. Gene Autry, Patsy Klein, and Jimmy Rogers did all three in one episode. nice big episode with lots of lots of music and if you're not a fan of old crooner music don't worry I play a lot of modern covers that don't sound like the originals

of course because that's what coverville is coverville.com if you want to go back and listen to that episode and Twitch.tv slash coverville if you want to come and try your hand at guess the connection starting at about either in 12 or 1230 today I've got the list of the songs I just need to find the right versions that I want to

play. Nice. Very nice. And you did this during the show time, right? I did this, right, exactly. When there wasn't a TMS, I just said, oh, all right, I'll do a cover film. I'm really glad you did, gave everybody who showed up of things to watch. That was good. Yeah, absolutely. And they get to watch me play a deck I'm having a lot of fun with on Marvel Snap right now, which is Lockjaw and Thor.

This is Monve, 18, well, officially next month, because tomorrow is the beginning of October. comes out October 18th and so you and I if we do a series like basically a series of videos where I explain the game to you and we put those up on YouTube those will be huge when the game goes live because people will be lucky like all right how do I get cards in this game how do I how does the ranking system work how does this work how does that work right all I've watched you play a few times but I'm probably going to need advice I don't know how to play that game for sure we'll cover all the basics even the stuff that you know and understand very cool All right. Cool. All right. Let's get to a song. This one goes out to Xander who says,

Hey, sweeps and bleeps. I'm recommending this fun synth cover of the hotel of Hotel California because I've gone down a rabbit hole learning about music production with synthesizers lately, and I love the sound engineering that goes into this type of music. Let's see. Whenever you're able to fit this request in, I'd be happy to hear it.

You guys are the best. Thanks for all you do, Zander. Oh, thanks, Sandra. All right. So this is a version by a group called the Moog Cookbook. um if you look at any of their albums you might think that they're daft punk because they're they're wearing space helmets you can't see their faces they look like they're trying to be anonymous that whole thing going on sure so that might be the vibe you're getting from them uh however

in reality um it's a derivative of the band jellyfish if you remember a 90s band had a big hit with a song called the king is half undressed um one of the members and i want to say it's it's um Andrew No, not Andrew Sturmer I got to pull it up because Roger Manning Roger Manning from the band Jellyfish Gotcha

They're involved with this And It was such a cool project They released two official albums And then they If you emailed them directly for a while You could get their third album Which was called Bartel

Which was like B-Sides Remixes and things like that really if you emailed them and they would just send it to you wow yeah okay and in that email i don't know if it works anymore but i that's how i get a hold of it and it's just great i love that um yeah and matuba if you my favorite guitarist of all time is a guy named jason falkner who is part of jellyfish during the first album and i've followed everything in his career since the end since the since the since he left jellyfish and i've never been disappointed every every every album of his is fantastic. Isn't that the one you always tell me

such a great cover? My favorite cover of all time is his version of both sides now. Both sides now. Yeah, I'd love that. Yeah. So good. You were correct about it. All right. Let's get to the Moog cookbook and their cover of Hotel California. This came out on their second album, which was called Ye Old Space
