Right there, I said, she is. I'm going to be an actor. No? The morning stream, steady as she goes. Number two. Good morning and welcome back to TMS. It is Tuesday, November 1st, 2022. I'm Scott, and that's Brian. Good morning, Brian. Hello, Scott. Hello. Hey, so my daughter left. She left. Yeah. It was a sad morning. It was hard. It was difficult. I sure was. Yeah. But, you know, she's just around a lot and we hang out all the time and we collaborate all the time. And so it's

only two months but it feels like longer and you know she'll do fine she's very excited she's on her way to iceland for those who aren't aware heading there for a two-month art residency in Iceland so exciting i mean that is such a cool what a cool experience that is going to be right i mean holy cow i hope so i just want to make sure i want her to have like cool people there you know like i don't want to get there and end up with a bunch of freaking euro snobs who don't want to hang out or just weird about Americans or something. I don't know why. That's what we always want for our children

basically. Yeah, that's basically true. We don't want them to be around the bad people. Yeah, I don't want butt holes at this thing. And they shouldn't be. They should all be fine. I don't know what a Euro snob is. Chad, I'm not going to explain it. I don't know. I don't know what I even mean. Euro snob. Oh, come on. If you, people out there,

you don't know what a Euro snob is. Like, what movie should we direct them to? Yeah. The Saturday Live Juni, no, it's pronounced Uni. No, he's pronounced uni. The Fred Armisen character. That is, that's the

definition of Euros. Yeah. I just think that, you know, sometimes people like to throw all Americans into one category. And she is definitely not one of those. So just be nice to her. Okay, Iceland. I know you're all see-through and transparent and all that. Just like the finish. And

I love you for it, you know. That'll help. That'll definitely let's start by, you know. let me go ahead and throw shade at their weird white skin and right exactly that's a good way good way to begin their elven heritage reaching across the aisle yeah anyway she'll she'll do fun she'll she'll be great

good we had Halloween she hung out we hung out last night had fun passed out candy did you do the uh Santa I did for van just for van only only temporarily because I didn't want to do it the rest of the night because I was like I'm not wearing this stupid Santa costume costume I'm sure well that and just it's dumb it's santa claus i'll do it for him but not for anybody else and so he goes he shows up in his santa outfit and he has little fake gifts with him and he's got the full beard and a hat and everything and he just is convinced that that's as good uh hallowing

costume as anything else he could have chosen so it's fine i'm not you know look i'm not gonna tell him he's wrong you be santa claus you'd be whatever you want you're three years old you get to choose but he did say we were talking about um we had a little fire pit going and we're making marshmallow, you know, schmores, schmores. The reason I say schmore is because somebody, Nick or somebody in the background, goes, piping hot schmose from, from, toy story, right? Toy Story, I think it was. And it was, uh, oh, really? Okay.

I think it was, I think it was Buzz Lightier said, could gather around the fire for some piping hot schmows and he's got it wrong. And Woody corrects him, tells him it's not schmose. Anyway, he says that and then Van says, Schmo? Schmo? Schmo? And now that's all he wants to talk about is schmows.

He wants to say schmoh. So Nick's a Schmo. Nick's a Schmoe. He's a Schmoe. He's a whole, I'd say to him, hey, what do you think of your Uncle Nick? Schmo? Yeah, and we say yes, because he kind of answers it. He kind of says it in a questioning kind of tone.

Schmo? Like he's not sure. Schmo? Schmo? It's like, yep, that guy's a schmo. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. We're all good now. I didn't eat any candy, so props to me for just avoiding it.

Kim gave out like huge giant can. candy bars. And we saw like, I don't know, it felt like Brian, we saw like maybe four little kids. Yeah. But a ton of teenagers that were all very nice and respectful. But for some reason, it felt like those were the kids who didn't get Halloween for two years because of COVID reasons. Yeah. And now we're like, well, we're taking Halloween back because there were hardly any little ones and tons of older kids. It was really weird. I thought, what was your experience there We ended up with maybe about 75 kids, and I would say it was probably half and half, but we had quite a few last year, too. Definitely not up to, like, 2018 or 2019 levels, but, you know, like I said, about 75 kids, about 20 clusters of three or four kids each.

And they always come in packs like that, right? They do. Yeah, exactly. Travel for safety to keep from getting their bag snatched. basically by bigger teenagers who don't even want to do the bothering of going trick-or-treating. We're getting their fentanyl snickers or whatever fear-mongering is going on right now. Exactly, yeah. Had my Deadpool head in full effect lit up and chatting with everybody as they came by doing his Ryan Reynolds thing.

Nice. Did we determine, I think I asked you this last year. Is it his voice? I think it is. I'm pretty sure it is. It certainly sounds like there are times it's like, oh, that definitely sounds like Ryan Reynolds. And then there are other times it's like, maybe that's Ryan Reynolds. So who knows?

Maybe he came in and recorded a few things, like some of the more common phrases that it utters. And then for other ones, they just had somebody come in and do fill in kind of stuff. Well, I did have, I made Kim watch, I didn't make her, she chose. She watched a Barbarian with me. Oh, nice. We asked it kind of late. And she, I've never heard so many nopes come out of her mouth. A lot of nopes.

Really? Yeah. Like when she go, you know, the parts in the hallways and then deeper into the basement and all that. Yes. Yes. She's like, no. Nope. Nope. Nope. She kept saying. I'm like, well, wait to you see what's down there, babe. It's all going to get better from here. So, uh, I liked it more the second time. She said nope a lot, but she didn't uh, didn't leave, get up and say, I'm done with this. No, she really liked it. By the end

of it, she was like, that was a really good one of these. And she doesn't love horror movies, but she's like, I think she saw what I was seeing in it, which is it's something extra. It's not your usual fare. It doesn't rely on tropes and stuff you can predict or whatever. I just never quite knew where this thing was going. And she goes, was that really Justin Long? I'm like, yeah.

I mean, it's hard not to recognize it as Justin Love. I agree, but he's so different in this compared to anything else. It's such a different character for him. Yeah. I've never seen him be such an ass. Yeah. It's such a but a butthole. It's great. uh watch watch it even if it's not Halloween everybody get get that going yeah exactly all right you can watch scary things all year round like werewolf by night or a giermo del Toro's cabinet

of curiosities yeah did you finish that now you know what i watch all right i'm not going to use it for recommendals all right uh because i've got something i liked a lot a lot more than this that said i'm surprised at how much i freaking liked a movie movie on Netflix that certainly isn't targeted towards me. Yeah. But I had a good rotten tomato score. So I'm like, all right. I don't mind falling asleep if I watch this because it was middle of the night.

I woke up. I couldn't get back to sleep. So I left the bedroom. Thank you, Wendy. Went on the couch and. I've been doing that too. I'm glad to hear that because I've been trying to do that as well instead of staying there or being tempted to like watch it. I've got my iPad here.

I'll just watch it. I'll just watch it. And I'm like, no, Wendy's why if she's ever watching, Giant, the Eye of Wendy is over us. She says there's only two things in the bedroom, and that's sleep and love boat. Yep. Yep. Coitus. Anyway. Exactly. So I watched a movie called Do Revenge on Netflix. And this is your, you know, every generation needs their strangers on a train. They're Alfred Hitchcock strangers on a train. Sure. We had it with Throw Mama from the train. That was our generation's strangers on a train. It's basically the same kind of thing, right? You need to get revenge on. your group i need to get revenge on my group but why don't we swap so that you know we have an alibi we won't get busted and there's no connection with each of our groups to um to the person people are getting

revenge on and it's got um uh the woman who plays robin on stranger things uh she's the daughter of umma thurman and Ethan hawk and i didn't realize that until after the last season of stranger things that I watch and I said, oh my God, that is, that absolutely is what you'd get. If you mash their faces together, you'd get, yeah, Maya Hock. I didn't even know those two were together. I didn't know that. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I'd no idea.

Since Adagataka or whatever, has it been that long? And I just didn't know about it? I think so. I think, you know, there was a, it was a quieter thing because we knew about Uma Thurman and, wasn't she with Tarantino for a while? Maybe. Maybe he just had her feet for a while. while. I don't remember what the deal was.

Yeah. And then it has the Gell who plays Veronica on Riverdale, not that I've ever seen it, but... Oh, it's got Austin Abrams in it. He's a good Euphoria actor. I like that kid. Yes. Oh, and he plays a dickhead. Oh, really? Because he plays a nice guy on Euphoria. And we finally got into the point where Sarah Michelle Geller is playing a headmaster at a school instead of playing a teenager or a young adult or, you know, like... Finally. Did you mention Sophie Turner, I guess, is in this? Sophie Turner is in this, and she plays a wakadoo. Maybe not Sansa-level wakadoo, but definitely wakadoo. Anyway, it's that formula. It's basically, it feels like mean girls and ten things I hate about you and all and clueless. And it feels like there's less of a difference between the 90s high school.

um comedy dromedy kind of thing that you get as big but there was a bit much bigger difference between that and the 80s ones that we got fast times and porkies and stuff like that to american graffiti sure it feels like the 90s ones to today feel like like this felt like mean girls 10 things i hate about you kind of connected right it didn't feel that that sure sure that oh man i can I'm looking at my hawk now, and straight up, you can see the, I don't see him so much, but I see her. I see big time. You can see the Uber. Yeah, you see lots of Uma in that face.

Yeah, that's great. 23 years old is all, kicking butt. That's awesome. Oh, you know what? I saw a tiny piece of this. I watched Kim watch this. For just a second, I walked in the room and it was something at a rich kids pool, a giant house.

Okay, I saw a tiny bit of this. So this is good? You recommend me watching this? I recommend it. It's actually pretty good. like it's um you know it's uh uh harmless you know like you said if you liked mean girls probably would like this kind of along along those lines you're not you know you're not getting a shakespeare remake here right you're not getting uh well it's taming of the shrew

was 10 things i hit about you wasn't it yeah that's something easy a was the scarlet letter i mean this is you know this is that but strangers on a train yeah i always remember othello was called was the movie called O. Right? Isn't there? That was the thing I don't remember that wrong. Is that Tay Diggs? No, who was that in O?

Very handsome black man. That's my memory. Yes. Which is why I would immediately go to Tay Diggs. This is called, again, the name of this, this movie again, is do revenge on Netflix. Dio. Revenge. Yeah, not, not, oh, my car got wet overnight, not that kind of do.

Not that kind of, yeah, not D.E.D.O. Mountain Dew revenge. Yeah, and not Dio like the same. singer from not Ronnie James Dio. Right, not Ronnie James Dio revenge. No.

Just Dio is in spelling it with a D in and O. As if Shilabuff was telling you, Do Revenge was his arms out and a green screen behind him. Yeah, exactly. Brian, I got a game for you. Do you want to play a game?

Let's play a game. All right, since I don't have a thing for this, let's play that, why not? So here's the deal. I put the together some stuff because I got in the mood for some of these things and I went you know it'd be fun is to test Brian a little on these all right okay here is the concept uh 80s stuff and specifically I want you to try to identify based on what I'm going to play these audio files identify what 80s

cartoon they're from oh god 80s cartoons okay and these are all from their intros to help make things a little easy so for example here's a throwaway yeah and the last Okay, sure. Easy one. He Man in the Master's universe. Easy one. It would be He Man in the Master's universe. Exactly.

I said it right there in the clip. Yeah, the rest of these, a little less. You know how little, like, oh, man, there were some of these that, that, uh, yeah, all right, all right, let's get into this. I'm already, I'm already, like, if it's Transformers, I'm probably out. If it's, uh, Thundercats, I'm probably out. Those are real, those ones are easy, though. Like Thundercats is just straight up, like, uh, well, I don't know.

If you heard this, here, I have Thundercats. Hold on. Okay. Where is it? see it says Thundercats Yeah that would That would be the giveaway

Right okay All right here we go Let's start with this one So he man's a gimmie Let's start keeping track now With this one See if you can identify it Here you go

In a distant time And far away place The planet New Texas Close deep in space Sky is three sons Land the precious four The carrion rush

Brought outlaws By the score And then they were about to say They really should have gotten that guy a little close to the microphone to explain what this show is about. I agree. All right. The chat room is over there, so I'm not looking at the chat room. So I'm going to say this, though, it's a thing that's in space.

It's flying around. It's definitely in space. Is it Starblazers? Let me check. Is it Starblazers? Incorrect. The answer is Brave Star. Brave Star.

Okay. Amazing show. It's so stupid. It's the one you've actually talked about this before and you've, I think even watched it for adventure time. Yeah, I absolutely love it. I cannot get enough for Brave Star. Brave Star is the stupidest idea and it somehow works. I would love a revival. Never saw a single episode of it. But boy, based on that intro, I almost think I know what it's about. Yeah, you kind of do. I mean, the damn, they're on a planet called New Texas.

New Texas. And it's a planet and with a bunch of robots and aliens and stuff, but it just plays out like a Western. Like, everyone's just, it's all Western tropes, but in space. Perfect. Except his horse can turn into kind of cringer style. And this is filmation doing this. This is the, the he-man people. His horse is a normal horse that he rides on, but sometimes the horse turns into a standing tall horse that talks.

Oh, like on two legs walking around kind of horse? Yeah, and it's horrifying. And he calls, he calls Brave Star pard all the time instead of partner. Anyway, and here's number two. So we're zero for one. Let's see if we can mix things up here with this one. God, no. I feel like it's the first time I've ever heard that.

You want to take a wild stab? All right. Let's see. All right, so it's, it's, it's, uh, it's, uh, the Forrest Grove. Just the bag that he's like, we're the, he, he, he, he, uh, uh, this feels like, like a sit and Marty Croft, uh, bong residue, uh, kind of show. It does, but it's, I'll give you one other hint. It's absolutely, definitely, definitely animated.

and it has Is it snorks? I'm going to say snorks. All right, let's find out if you're right if it's snorks. Is it snorks? Incorrect. The answer is Ewox.

Ewalks. Oh, EWox. Really? Yeah. Horrible intro song. Terrible. But that's him going with a E, E, E, E.

And then eventually they kind of say EWox, but it's so bad I knew you wouldn't even be able to hear it. Didn't even hear it. Never even heard him actually say the Wox part of me one. Yeah, it's really bad. Oh, okay, good. Glad I've waited that one. That one is pretty bad. All right. Here's one that you might

get. I'm not sure. I think I beeped part of it, so it wouldn't give it away, but here is this one. From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend. The legend of

Defender of the universe. A mighty. robot. Love by good, feared by evil. So loved by good, feared by evil, and it's a mighty robot. A robot that's a defender of the universe. Yes, and that is, by the way, if the voice is familiar, I just don't want to send you in the wrong direction. That is the normal voice of Optimus Prime, but this is not Transformers. Yeah. Frank Welker. Is that Frank Welker?

Fred, not Frank Welker. Peter Cullen. I'm sorry, Peter Cullen. I'm sorry, Peter Cullen. Yes, okay. But a single robot who is Defender of the Universe He's not married He's not even dating He's sick He's a loner Daddy, he's a rebel

God so if that rules out For me that rules out Go bots Which would have been my My guess I don't remember A ROM the Space Night cartoon But boy that would fit

That'd be cool That would be really cool actually I'm trying to think of another robot Oh, like, let's say Gundam. Gundam. Is it Gundam? I'm guessing Gundam.

All right. Brian says Gundam, one of the gundams. We'll take any of the gondoms here. Any gundum. Yeah, any gundums? Incorrect. The answer is. Oh, of course, Voltron.

Oh, damn it. Yeah. Totally Voltron. And it would have really gotten that one. Oh, my, yeah. Had I not bleeped it, you would have, surely. Well, and I imagine you not bleeped that. I would have heard the word Voltron.

Yeah, you would have heard the term Voltron and thought, oh, I bet this is Voltron. by the way, none of these shows did I actually watch, so this is great. Oh man, Voltron was so good. I keep waiting for Captain Caveman or Jabberjaws or something like that, like some of the garbage that I did for whatever reason watch. Oh, maybe I'll hit one of those.

I don't know. Maybe, maybe. Here's one for you. I am Adora, twin sister and defender of the crystal castle. That's Shira, princess of the universe. For Princess of Power, that's what it is. Princess of Power.

Congratulations. You got that one. Thank you. Through an easy one in there. She basically said exactly what Adam said. She just said Crystal Castle and had a different, had like a unicorn horse or something instead of a cat. It was all the same. And, you know, she has to tell us, well, I'm, it's cool.

I can do this because I'm his sister. Yeah. Like, you know, I'm valid because I'm the sister of He, man. Right. That's how we did it in the 80s, you know? That's right. Exactly. You had to lead them in.

All right, here's one that I will admit to not watching, but a lot of people suggested this one. So I'm going to play this one. All right. All right, any ideas there? Whoa, I was trying to figure out what he was saying at the end. Boy, Steve Perry really had a bad career after he left journey, didn't he? Boy, all right, masked crusaders. Masked Crusaders is what I'm focusing on.

And it's definitely not the teenage mutant turtles, which would, you know, be a group of masked crusaders that I would think about. But obviously, that's not the Heroes on the Halfshell song that I know and love. I mean, part of me is just wanted to say, is it Masked? like the m.a.a.s.k. Let's say mask. I'm going to say mask. All right. Let's find out. Congratulations. You did it. It's mask. Thank you very much. I always heard I should have watched that and I never did. Never saw a single episode of that either. That might be one I try to track down. I don't know. Let's see if I can find it. Yeah, maybe that's a couch party business. Could happen. Now, here's one that I did watch, but I always always feel like no one else knows about this one. And I don't know why. I feel that.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe a bunch in the chat will be like, oh, no, I totally loved it. I don't know. But here it is. We've got three more of these. After years of peaceful existence on the distant planet, Valorna, Questar and his people were forced into battle.

The power of their step crystal ripped a hole in the fabric of time, sending them back to prehistoric world. Unaware that at the same moment, the evil emperor Krulos was plotting to capture the step crystal with his own grotesque Rulon forces. And so the battle continued. in a new place in time will It stopped right when he's going to say the name

Perfect, perfect, yes, well done And that, my friends, by the way, It's a really good intro. It sets up the show perfectly. It does. I agree. Is it Herculoids? I wish it was Herculoids.

It is absolutely not herculeids. Hercules was great. That is not the correct answer. The correct answer is Dino Riders. Dino Riders, although it makes sense with the prehistoric thing. Yeah. I don't feel like a lot.

A lot of people saw it, but I did, and I love Dino Writers at all. Wow. I mean, I remember it. I remember it existing. Or a good show, not a good game. All right, here's a tricky one. This might be, just as you and I were like maturing out of what we would be our era of Saturday morning cartoons. Saturday morning, cereal, whole of cereal on the floor, footy pajamas. Yeah, smell, you know, we all smell like toast, whatever, not toast, waffles. That's right.

Um, and this is one that would have probably just been like late, very late 80s, 88, 89. Okay. Oh, wow. Okay. So it might be tricky, but here you. Welcome to VideoLand. Mega high. Real quick, he said mega high.

I just want to put that out there. Mega high. Which, I mean, there's more. I think it was the Pac-Man and friends, but, uh. Well, here, I'll give me more. Let's hear a little more. Okay. Wake up, Kid Icarus.

Welcome to Castle Beach. It's Congleland. My brain will kick you, little princess. Princess, the palace is under siege. Behold, the ultimate warp zone. All right. Okay, well, definitely not Pac-Man and Friends. So that was a Nintendo thing.

Obviously, Kid Icarus and Castlevania and all that. But I'm trying to remember what the actual show was that collected all of those. Was it Nintendo Superstars or something like that? You're so in the periphery of this. You're very close. I don't know. And I'm looking, now I'm looking at the chat. So don't accept any answers for me at this point.

But people are saying Captain N. Was it Captain N? It was Captain N. Well, first, let me give you this. Yeah, give me one of those. Captain N and the Game Master, it was called. Okay. Captain N.

It was absolutely a bald-face attempt to just sell video game cartridges. That's what its job was. It was not to be good or entertained properly. It was like, do you want to buy Nintendo? Here's a bunch of characters you know about. Oh, no, it's jumping flash, a giant rabbit that's going to jump on us. No one's ever going to buy. Watch out, Spyro the Dragon.

Sure, except that'd be Sony show. Except actually, right, that's right, exactly. Captain S and the Game Master is what that would be. All right. Here's your final one. Okay. I thought this was a cool show at the time. I'll see if you can figure it out.

In the near future, Doc Terror and his cyborg companion hacker unleash their forces to conquer Earth. Only one force can stop this evil, a handful of brave men. In specially created exoplanes, they can be transported anywhere. To fuse with incredible assault weapon systems, being down from the space station Skyvalt, becoming man and machine power extreme man and machine power extreme what show we're talking about here so it's another one of these uh i think it's another one of these where it was like um people in

in robot suits that uh that then could join together and become like another big robot um kind of like Voltron but there was another one that was like that shoot or no maybe I'm maybe I'm I'm still thinking of Voltron. Well, there was G-Force, but they didn't really join, right? They just had a ship. Right. Yeah, right, right. Forget how they worked.

I was, G-Force and Voltron mixed me in my head for some reason. Geez. I love the intro like that. And his stupid sidekick, Borgon. Yeah. Oh, and we should, I mean, it may have been obvious to everybody, but that was the guy who did most of the super friend stuff after Ted Knight left. Yeah, right.

Meanwhile. So he was super friends from like, I don't know, season three forward. And now he's here doing this. Excellent, excellent. Oh, Battle of the planets was G-Force. That's right. Battle of the planets. I mean, it was G-forced in America, but Battle of the planets in Japan?

Or was it, did they flip it? No, I don't know. Maybe. Whatever. All right. So that's a whole different thing, though. This is, um, was this Gundam? Let's find out.

It might have been. Let's see. What does the judge say? Is it Gundam? Nope. The answer is Centurions. Centurions. Okay, I remember the name.

Don't remember the cartoon at all. That's a really cool cartoon. It's very cool. They basically were a bunch of Iron Men is how it was. Oh, really? Okay. It was marble. They didn't join together to form one big Iron Man, though.

Not that I know of. Maybe there was an event at some point where they all joined forces, but for the most part, they were separate. One was like a seat, a guy who was really good in the water, another guy that was really good in the air. and another guy, I think, was just really strong and tanky. It was cool, man. Centurions are cool. They were basically, but they were rip-off Iron Man, totally. Yeah, they looked like G.I. Joe Iron Man.

Yeah, good way of putting it. They were like Yo-Joe inside a freaking Iron Man's sense. And they had an orangutan, like a sidekick orangutan. Yeah, because everyone did. Y'all had to have one. Yeah, monkey sidekick, everybody. Pick your monkey sidekick. Everybody's stupid show in the 80s had to have a dumb sidekick.

I hate it. Why? Why? What was the deal? Yeah, Orko. You think Orco's bad. Brave Star has this like alien from the planet. He just looks like a turd. And he's just always going, Brave Star, we need to hurry up and save him. He just has that kind of voice. Makes me want to poop a brick the wrong direction. Anyway, Brian, you did it pretty good. One out of nine.

Yeah, what? Okay, that's all right. You know what? knowing the context, I'm kind of impressed that I got one of those. It was the gimmie. It was freaking Shira who basically just repeats everything Prince Adam says. I got to go watch some of this stuff.

It's got me in the mood. Yeah. I stopped watching, I mean, basically 84, anything 84 and before, because that would be like 14 years old for us. That's when I, maybe they just stopped showing them out here because that stuff was starting to phase away.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, they quit. They, they, to me, my memory of it is you used to be able to start at like 6 a.m. And you could go till like one or two in the afternoon. Like it was a big long block. And it felt like by the time we were in high school, that had changed so that you could go from 6 a.m. to about 8 a.m. or something.

And then an infomercial would be on or wrestling or something. Like they would, they started cutting back. yeah which bums me out because i missed that stuff anyway there you go that was fun that was a lot of fun you know missing them getting him whatever i don't care but it was a lot of fun well thanks for playing along we're going to now do a quick text here from a listener this is from step who says step here the only one who had dinner with brian and tina on friday prior to his sickness can confirm i am not the dirty den denverian who got him sick as i'm a uton driving back to salt lake city on friday See you soon, Scott's stuff.

So, Stephanie, uh, wasn't you. She still didn't confirm that she didn't get me sick. She's just saying, um, I'm not the, I'm not the Denverian. Yeah. I'm the Utah. By the way, I think we're Denverites or, uh, what are, Coloradoans? You're Coloradoans. Coloradoans or Coloradoans.

Either is acceptable. But, uh, Denverite, I think is, is what I've heard. People always give me cheese for Utahan, but it's, really the same. It's the same naming convention as Colorado. It really is. Yeah. I mean, we don't end with an age. So it's like... What are it going to be U-Tites? Uts? Oh, that's a whole different group of people. Yeah, the Uts are an actual tribe of Indians.

They're an actual tribe. Can't be the Uts. Can't do that. So I don't know. Chap, if you have better ideas, let us know. If you want to be like Steph and write in and tell us if you're the one that got Brian sick, you can do that. 801-471-0-462. All right. Let us know. We'd love it. sniffly here, but that's about it. I'd say 94%, 93% hovering right there in that area.

That's pretty good. You have a concert next week. You'll be in perfect condition for that. I do. Yeah, exactly. It should be just fine. Back to the hot zone. Back to one of the places I might have gotten it. Yeah, some sweet, sweet COVID history with you in Anaheim. All right, let's get this underway here

with the news. It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. Gore, the podcast all about scary movies, with Monica and Wesley. Check out Gore wherever you get podcasts. Do it. I think TV's Travis is on that too, isn't he?

Oh, is he? I didn't know that. Yeah. I thought they said the two hosts. Oh. Yeah, sorry, Travis. If you're in there, I didn't use your name. Oh, that's great.

Dude, Travis has got a good eye for that crap. That's awesome. Oh, four hosts. Who's the fourth? So Monica, Wesley, TV's Travis, and... Uh, Jerry Pinkleton. Oh, the Pinkleton's finally. Yes.

Oh, Faye, okay. Faye. Got it. So you got four of you in there. That's good. I think a movie show, I mean, I can only speak from film sack experience. But it feels like that's about the number you like. It's the best with four hosts.

Yeah. I think four is what you want. Joey, Joey's not on there, is he? No. No. No, no wrestlers. No wrestlers. Okay?

Forget it. No. No, Claire is her secret lover, not her co-host. No, I think they're just trying to pull you into say Monica, Joey, Phoebe, Chandler. Oh, I see the whole lineup. Did you hear, did you watch that? Now the Matthew Perry Tell All special? Yeah, I haven't.

I'm not sure I will because I think Tina will and she'll give me the top notes. Oh, you can give me the top notes then. The main thing, main takeaway was he was really, really struggling with drugs during the time. That show was being made. And so his constant weight changes between seasons was. What I hear is when I was fat, it was alcohol. When I was skinny, it was drugs. Yeah, basically.

He's also still very slurry. He's clean. He says he's clean. But my guess is the toll has been taken. Yeah. And it's just kind of wrecked a little bit. But it was also very, I don't know, it made me really, it was really nice to hear how kind and considerate Jennifer Aniston was. Yeah, that's what I hear, that she was, you know, like constantly in touch with him and keeping, you know, basically helping him.

and being there for him. It seemed like she actually gave a crap about him. And I'm not saying that by default that means the rest didn't. I don't know. That booger Matt LeBlanc, man. What a bugger. He didn't bring them up in that regard. But I think maybe she just went the extra mile or whatever, which is nice.

Right, exactly. The most prominent of the people helping him. Therefore, I will never make fun of her breath again. Oh, look at you. Well, you know, oh, my dogs are gone. Oh, they miss Carter already. That's what's going on. It's the song of their people.

Let's get to this story here about an Iranian man who didn't wash for half a century. It's 50 years for those keeping the math. Died at 94. That's it. He's out. 50 years. He's been called and known as the world's dirtiest man. Oh, yeah.

You got to see the picture of this dude. Oh, no, really? Deweyer, is it going to gross me now? I think it's beyond. He probably doesn't even smell anymore. It's probably like he's just Earth, you know? Yeah, I don't kidding. He's just part of the planet at that stage.

I'll pull this up, Chad, so you can see it as well. There he is. I mean, if that's his house, then it makes sense, right? Because I don't see a nice moan faucet in that little hut or a, or a shower. No, no, he isn't interested. Now, if you go down a little bit, you see. Wait, wait, wait, is he smoking four cigarettes at a time? Yeah, four sigs in his hand at the time.

He would do, I guess he was known for that as well. It's like always smoking more than more than one cigarette at a time. I'm not saying that this is an example, all 94-year-olds, you know, that this is like a way to live longer is to have zero self-care of any kind and smoke for cigarettes at once. But, yeah, that dude, that dude. Anyway, his name is Digimon Hansu. Just kidding. His name is Amu Hajji.

Amu haji He refused soap and water For more than half a century Fearing it would make him sick The Iranian lived in the southern province of Fars For Farts They left the tea off of the farts It's a typo

It's a typo He avoided previous attempts by villagers To get him to get clean We're talking about Matthew Perry Sounds like the same thing Anyway but local media say He finally succumbed to pressure and washed a few months ago. Oh, that's what did him in. He got what he washed. Finally,

he washed. And he became ill shortly after. I feel bad, man. He should have kept being dirty. Anyway, a previous interview given to the Tehran Times in 2014 revealed his favorite meal was Porcupine and that he lived between a hole in the ground and a brick shack built by concerned neighbors in the village of Dejga. He also told the outlet at time, his unusual choices were down to emotional setbacks when he was younger. Oh. Years of not bathing, lift him with skin covered in soot and pus. Oh, geez.

As diet consisted of rotten meat and unsanitary water from an old oil can. How do you live to be 94? Man, I hope I live to be 60. And I, you know, I shower every day. No kidding. Yeah, maybe that's the problem. We're washing all that important stuff off of us. know, like we're washing all of that, uh, that, uh, that, uh, that caked on dirt that keeps us alive.

I only smoke three cigarettes at a time. So, you know, I'm conservative. That's a problem. Is that the problem? I need to go one more cigarette and then I'm... One more. Well, one in each nostril. And, uh, okay.

Every, every orifice has a cigarette hanging out of it. Great. Uh, let's move on to this story. The attorney who fought Florida helmet laws died in a motorcycle craft, crash while not wearing a helmet. Look, I'm not celebrating this at all. No, but it is, oh, I hate the, God, it's like such a rough, rough. Like, you don't want to, you don't want to do a Doth protest too much, and then I told you so,

because it's such a, you know, somebody died, which is kind of sense. Yeah, but he should have worn a helmet in the end. Like, I will say this, good luck to his family, sorry for everybody's loss, all that stuff. He should have worn a helmet, and he shouldn't have fought those laws. all those years. In the late 90s when Florida bikers were still required to wear helmets, Phineas, or, sorry, Pine Allis, Phineas, lawyer, Ron Smith was an aggressive

advocate for overturning that law. He was a member of Abate, a Brotherhood Against Totalitarian enactments, and American Bikers aimed toward education. Backronym. Backronin. 100%, dude. Wait, wait, so they can't even agree on what

A, B, A, A, T, E, Stance for. It's like two different acronyms. Yeah, it's two different acronyms. So they finally just said, whatever, just say it all together. And then they just kept a bait because it's fun to say, I guess. Anyway, they lobbied against the law for years. He represented clients. He ran a foul Florida's motorcycle requirements and court cases.

And he helped flip that law to make it so it was not, you didn't have to wear them. One of the cases went all the way to the second court of appeals, which ruled that Florida's helmet law at the time was constitutional. Then the Department Highway's safety and motor vehicles had failed to properly publish a list of protective equipment as acquired by law. Anyway, there's all this background. He got in a helmet crash and died because he didn't wear a man. Now, what I'm going to say about this is maybe a little bit weird. I don't, how do I put this? Part of me says, yeah, if you don't want to wear a helmet, don't.

There shouldn't be a law. Yeah. But you're stupid for not wearing one. I know. I drove somebody in my lift yesterday. And he was a chopper rider. and I was giving him a ride to a hotel that a housing company, housing group, the VA was putting him in because they're working on a house for him. And so they're putting him up in a hotel. And so he's telling me all

about this, you know, he's got this settlement from this woman who teaboned him while he was on his chopper. And I said, all right, I'm going to ask you a question, no judgment here, but were you wearing a helmet? And he said, nope. And the only thing that I ended up with on my head was a scratch that was so minor that the hospital didn't even treat the scratch. You know, it was like, my, my legs were, were busted. They thought there was a chance I would never walk again, but I'm walking now. And I was in wheelchair for six months and blah, blah, blah. And I said, does that make you, like, when you get back, because he was talking about

getting back, you know, a motorcycle eventually, just like, I just want my house and I want my motorcycle. I'm like, when you get back to your motorcycle, is there, are you going to do anything different? Are you going to wear a helmet? No, no. Isn't this just bias confirmation? that's all this is because in his mind he's like well I was a he survived because he didn't have a yeah because he didn't like what the frick dude yeah exactly like you lucked out maybe don't rely on

lucking out again don't push your luck dude exactly yeah just wear a helmet it's no big deal it's like not a big deal you're gonna ride a thing wear a helmet and if you don't fine but don't be shocked if you end up in a hospital with freaking major head trauma or death okay right yeah what i'm saying Golly. Oh, the poor guy. This, this, uh... Yeah. It's just kind of ironic, though.

You spend your life, you know, trying to... Fighting a thing that eventually is the thing that kills you. Yeah. There was always that story. I don't know if it's true. It may have been apocryful, but who was the guy that would only eat meat as their diet? The Atkins diet. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And, uh, Atkins, the guy, the actual Howard Atkins, whatever's name was, died of a heart attack one day on the street. Right. And they didn't, you know, there was no, I don't remember there being word that it was specifically attributed to his diet. But still, it's really, eh, it didn't help things. You certainly don't hear about the Atkins Day as much as you hear about paleo and keto and, uh, well, it's because those, those involve vegetables, so they. Well, that's what I'm saying. Like, you know, you don't hear about the Atkins one anymore. Like, it's people like say, you know, maybe we're not doing that one. There is a new one called,

uh, uh, oh, well, me, not even me new. What's it called? Shoot.

What do you call it when somebody eats only meat? Carnivore diet. Carnivore diet. And it's all you do. It was some, some dude yapping about it on YouTube and talking about how great it is and he's never felt better. Uh,

that dude up in, uh, Canada that's controversial that Peter's, Jordan Peterson guy claims that he, his three meals a day are a medium rare steak, salt. and some water. That's all he eats.

And claims it's changed his life and cured his daughter's cancer or something she had. I mean, it wasn't cancer, allergies or something. Yeah. Bobby was saying, isn't paleo just like basically Atkins? Like it's all meat. I was thinking that paleo involve more earth grains and stuff. Oh, yeah. No, paleo is like what would what would cave people eat?

Cave people eat. They would eat plants. They would eat. You know, berries, they would eat things they could go and gather and meat. So it's not just meat. But the carnivore people, it's all meat all the time. Yeah. So they're basically Atkins.

And what was the lifespan of the cavemen again? I'm thinking it was pretty short. It was pretty low. I think you just need a nice, you know what you need. It might have been other things. It might have been other factors, you know. You know. Lack of Shelt.

permanent shelters and yeah and huge tigers with giant tusk teeth and things like that sure different different ones a bunch of cringers everywhere that's right oh hey man I don't want to go um all right if you got some money

I got a place for you to throw it away okay you're going to throw your money away at this thing okay tell me I'm ready I've written out my check I've made it out to blank so tell me who I'm putting in this make it out to Costco is the brand Costco, all right, okay. You're familiar with the work of Costco?

Am I buying more meat, Scott? No, more earth grains? No, more toilet paper and bottles of water. That's all you're getting there. Or this lovely gift idea, you can get a mega jigsaw puzzle at Costco that is 60,000 pieces, 29 feet wide. I don't know who has space for this. I don't know who's doing this. Yeah, no kidding, because you've got to have, so a 30 foot wide.

space in your house for a crossword for a jigsaw puzzle i can't uh if you have that you must have no pets because guaranteed your cat or dog is going to eat one of those pieces and just screw you yeah i guarantee it not with that many pieces i don't even know how you do this i can't stand i don't like puzzles i don't like yeah jeannie is with you she says i don't get jigsaw puzzles don't you have something else to do yeah i like jigsaw puzzles actually honestly i tina's a big fan of them i bought her a set of the haunted mansion. You know those stretching paintings in that first room of the haunted mansion.

So it's a set of all four of those stretching paintings. And she just finished one of them. How big are they? They're not 29 feet, Scott. There may be about, I don't know, maybe 18 inches, two feet high. So it'd be about

nine inches wide. Five hundred to a thousand pieces, something like that? Yeah, something silly like that. Exactly. Well, this one is 60,000 pieces if you're into it. And here's the problem. If you said to me, hey, Scott, this thing, and if you're really into this, I get it. If you said, hey, this thing's a hundred bucks. I'd say, oh, okay. Maybe, sure.

It's $5.99. $600? No. $600 for a jigsaw puzzle that's bigger than your house. If there's, you know, if this was one of those, like, you know, the first 10 people to complete this puzzle get $10,000 or something. Yeah. Then I'd maybe be like, oh, okay, I kind of see this. But no, it's just, it's just pictures of the Taj Mahal and the, uh,

Eiffel Tower and yeah Forget this Yeah National Park stuff It's that's all it is It feels like I could just do 15 small jigsaw puzzles

That have all these different things And use one table And get rid of them The next time I put another one together There's just so many things I would spend $600 on before I'd do it Oh for sure This is really dumb

But I guess if you're that person You know who you are And you were going to get it anyway And that's fine No judgment here I guess They did say this does not beat the record. The current Guinness World Record belongs to

the United Arab Emirates, which holds the title for a 65,9505 square foot jigsaw puzzle. Geez. Whoa. No way. 65,000 95, 955 square foot. Probably

in some dedicated space in the UAE if I had to guess. Right. You know? That's what they do over there. They just throw money at everything. It's like, hey, we got all the oil money. We got infinite money. oil money for all these years. What do you want to do? Build a skyscraper that can walk around. Let's have buildings with

fountains built into the sides of them. Yeah. Yeah, there is Dubai's got so much money, they don't know what to do. So when you put something like this together, somebody gets you this as a gift. Oh, here we go. It's actually 60 1,000 piece puzzles. So it's

really, like, you could do these as 60 individual 1,000 piece puzzles. You could. I think I didn't go down bored. You could, but that's just how, why? 60? Screw that. Like, even if it was like 60 Marvel Comics,

classic Marvel Comics covers that are each 1,000 pieces. Yeah, forget it. Would you do it, Brian? No, I'd get bored after eight. Yeah, yeah. Like, give me, like, give me, like, a Marvel Comics cover collection that's like eight, oh, I'd probably do it, but not 60, 1,000 piece puzzles.

Yeah. You put these things together and then, and then what, like, slack it back up and put them back in the box or do you well when we were growing up we always we always did that glue thing when we were grown up so I assume you'd do that yeah and then what did you do with them once they were glued like they'd still get thrown out later oh yeah like my mom had ideas that we like the rec room area downstairs we would like cover the walls in them and say these this would be like our wall of fame where you completed these puzzles like no they're getting thrown away and they did no one kept that exactly why would you the whole point

of it is to is the zen experience of putting it together and then when you're done you're freaking done. I do like these TikTok videos where like an old lady or somebody will finish a huge puzzle and then their grandson or son will run in there and just for just for likes and clicks

he'll go and just wreck it in front of their mom. Sure. Those are fun to watch. I assume those are mostly staged if I had to go. I'm sure. Oh no, what have you done? You're out of the family.

Exactly. All right. We're going to take a break. When we come back, Back. Time with Bill Duran. We've got a question out there in the audience for him, plus whatever he's brought this week. And some science with Bobby. I wonder if he'll bring up that asteroid that almost hit us. Or I guess it's swinging past us next week that's pretty big and gnarly. Maybe not. I don't know. Maybe jumping ahead here. Anyway, we'll find out here shortly. But when we do that, we have to take a break. We have to play a song. Brian, play the song. What are we doing? Yeah, how about Nate Noface? This is a guy who spells his name N-8-N-O-F-A-E. So if you're searching for it, just replace the letters eight and Nate No-Face with the number eight.

There you go. This is the first single from his Bound to Let You Down remix EP. This is really good. This is a remix by Adult of his song Spray. Here is Spray by Nate Noface. Love to be used and I'm just the way they're going to go. Something like you now, well, they got a reasonable to know the story we just know. Like that we're not doing well, we're probably going to follow.

I thought you're trying to find out Sin to see them sooner And there ain't No sale of my soul That you don't Say my soul Same with my soul

Same but gotta hang up When I'm corner with my friends I promise you're around When I do it all again I'm people wish the girls But there ain't around no I'm gonna do the quick they say Take this in the crowd

Nice Down to the hill down Straight goes I'm hanging down But I gotta read the bull And we just know I gotta be the ball When I'm standing down to the ground

I'm not in the world When my puppy dies in my puppy dies, will she go to heaven to go to heaven? Well, Matthew, that's a very good question and I think I have something in my pocket that might help me explain the answer to you. It's a candy bar. Fortnite is a homo-erotic video game for young people. The morning stream.

A bug planet, a planet hostile to life. And we're back. Tell me who that was again. That was, I want to know how a candy bar is going to help explain what happens to that kid's dog. That was an ain't no face and a song called Spray. Now, I think I actually have another part of that guy explaining the candy bar. Let me see if I have it here. I have your dog's remains in my pocket right here. Okay, here's what he says.

He goes on to say, there are three different ingredients to it. There's the chocolate that covers the whole thing. And then if you bite into it, there's what's called the Nugget. And then there's caramel in the middle of it. You can see all three of these different things, but they make one candy bar. Who knows where that's going? That's as far as I have it. Nugget.

Nugget. Nugget. Nugget. That's good stuff. Teach your children well, everybody. All right. Hey, what's up now? I know what's up.

It's Bill time. let's time it's time to do our billing bill our weekly billing bill uh okay here we go all right he's in coming we're gonna do this where's this thing there it is all right your bat caves open there bill bill daran joins us as he does each and every tuesday from punish props dot com to talk about making stuff and i know he's got cool things going on bill welcome back to the show good morning friends happy to be here nice to have you here i got a thing for you before we get going let's do it there's a text This came from a listener named Kirk, who says, How great is it that the first two syllables of your TMS resident maker's name is Bill Durr?

Like Builder. Love the show, though. Kirk. Is that a thing you've always kind of known that you're a builder? Like, if you shortened Duran, it's you're a builder. Yeah, in fact, I've once or twice had people call me Builder Man. Yeah, Builder and the Builder Man. Pretty relative.

We might have even done that ourselves. Probably. Yeah. I make my own Bill Nye intro. I agree with Kirk. It's actually very cool. And you deserve the title. All right.

Well, you're here again, as always. And I know last week you were launching into a pretty cool new project. What's happened since? What are we talking about today? Not much because instead of finishing that project, we went to Las Vegas. Oh, yeah, you did. Yeah, that looked like fun. You guys saw cool, cool stuff while you were there.

Yeah, I want to talk about battlebots today. so Brittany's birthday was last week and the only thing she wanted to do was go to Vegas and watch robot combat so we did and I want to talk about what we saw because we got to see how the show is filmed and it's fascinating I'm of course not going to talk about any of the fights

or what happened I don't want to spoil anything because the show hasn't aired yet the show is filmed at Caesar's Entertainment studios. That's where hanging out. They have a big old tent with the battle box and everything set up inside. And the teams fly out to compete over two weeks.

And they film dozens and dozens of robots over those two weeks. And they're fighting to determine the winner of the Battleboss Championship and the trophy, the big nut. I got to hold the big nut. Nice. Hey, can I ask you a question?

And why do so many of them must be effective, so I know the answer to this. But why do they all do the, they have a flip mechanism almost in every case. Oh, yeah. Flipping mechanisms are so handy because you use the opponent's robot's weight against them. Yes, they're in the air, especially if they're like 30, maybe not 30, but like 10 feet in the air. On the way down, they're going to do a ton of damage to themselves. Flippers are super effective. Yeah.

That's really cool. So the competition is both a live competition with an audience and a TV show, but the TV show doesn't air until months after the event, which makes it a little interesting the way they film it. Every day there are two four-hour filming sessions, so we bought tickets to one of them that started at noon. There's a different audience for each section, so they film a bunch of fights,

and then they scoot out that audience, and then they bring in a new audience, and then they film a whole bunch more. The live audience gets a sneak peek at the fights in the winners, which is pretty cool. We got to see some fights before they'll air. But we were told explicitly to not spoil anything, but also not take photos or videos of the actual fights. We were told, though, that since we know some of the winners now, that when the show does air, we could win bets against our friends, which is pretty handy. Oh, that's nice, yeah.

You have a little bit of an advantage. So I'm looking at some of the recap on their official YouTube channel, and can you tell me about the environments a little bit? because I didn't realize there were hazards in the environment. Is that a new thing or am I just not? No, no, no. Okay. So the battle box, they have added new hazards over time. A couple of years ago, they added the upper deck, which is a higher spot that robots can get stuck on.

The battle box is a huge enclosure with inch and a quarter thick Lexan. It's bulletproof. It has to be. These robots are incredibly destructive. Yeah. The floor is like inch thick plate steel. are gaps where sawblades come out at the after uh two minutes of fighting sawblades come out every once in a while there are screws on the wall to bind up your robot there are hammers in the

quarters that the teams can activate those hammers are called the pulverizers it's quite an enclosure i also got to go in there no way you get to walk in there dude oh that's cool i yes yeah i i mean we got to not everyone got to we got to did you uh did you get to like pieces of anything thing or like walk out of there a little chunk of a broken. No, they do it a great job of cleaning up. I do have some battlebop parts that I've acquired through other channels. Yeah.

The fights are filmed in a haphazard order. Basically, they have as fights progressed, they figure out who's fighting who, which changes. And then basically, whoever's ready to fight, they throw in there because there's a lot of hurry up and wait.

A lot of people fixing their robots. Sure. A little less fine tuning And yep Yeah So everything gets filmed out of order So it's a little wacky to watch it live Because the hosts will throw to things that have

Haven't happened yet or happened a while ago There is a there was a host there that was just to keep the audience engaged between the fights They would show us the last fight in slow motion and stuff On the big TV screen between fights to keep us entertained But also there was a guy on the speaker like a direct rector over the PA who would tell us what to do. So he would say, okay, you guys want to stand now, get ready to clap, we got a fight starting in five seconds, so-and-so.

And then, the fights last up to three minutes, unless there's a knockout, and then it was about 10 to 20 minutes between the fights, and that's what you really don't see on TV. So a final end, they announce a winner, and then people run into the battle box to do things like, put out any fires, remove the last bots. collect any parts, sweep up bits. And they also have to repair damage made to the arena between fights. Frequently, we're talking about those flipper robots. Frequently robots get sent into the ceiling of the battle box,

destroying lighting and filming equipment, and glass is just raining down everywhere. So between fights, someone will come out with a ladder. We've got to fix that light. Someone else has a grinder who's grinding away all the sharp edges left in the flip. lore from the weapons it's intense and then uh and then they do another fight

and we we got to see 12 fights in our four hour block which seemed like a lot a lot of robot combat did you if if I would well you don't have to you can decide whether you want to tell me this or not is there a team that I should be watching for them for this airs

um not really so we saw they filmed two different tournaments they filmed the main championship but since they have so many robots in town and robots get knocked out of the championship They take the robots that have been knocked out, and they do a secondary tournament called the Sin City Slamfest, I believe. So most of the fights we saw were from that. We saw 11 fights from that. We saw one fight from the championship.

So I wouldn't even be able to tell you who to look for because we didn't see many fights from the main championship. But I wouldn't anyway. I want it to be a surprise. Sure. And it's still a surprise for me. We only saw a handful of fights out of the dozens and dozens. that they film. So I'm excited to see it when it finally air. When does this air? Sorry, where does it air? I never remember who's doing it. Who carries this

thing? Discovery Plus has it and they also have all the old battlebots seasons of the last run that started in 2016. So if you want to get caught up in battlebots, they have the championship fights. They also have the slam fest fights I was telling you about and a bunch of extra stuff. And then you can also buy it on Amazon. I'm not sure where it does on TV, probably Discovery Channel, but I don't have cable, so. Sure, sure, sure. Me and neither. Okay, well, I'm going to, I need to, you know what, I just, I feel like I've just let that simmer and I've never gotten into it, and it's dumb because I'd love this sort of thing.

Love watching this crap. It's incredible. It's so, so good. And I, and we've gotten into it since the last, since the show started up again in 2016, we've gotten to learn the fights. I've gotten to know a lot of the people that work there and have bots. The community seems incredible. Everyone, like I said, they're there for two weeks. It's like summer camp for battlebots. They're all friends and families, and they've known each other for decades. And they get together for two weeks in Vegas every year to fight with robots.

Like, I can tell this is a group of people that all really support one another and love fighting robots and putting on a good show. I'm going to throw out an idea. Okay, this is just an idea. But you've got this name, Punish Props, amazing game. You've got a love for BattleBots. when does punish props become a team in battlebots? I know, right? Punished bots.

So that's good. I like it. So here's the thing. Battlebots are expensive. And then you break them. So it's common if you're going to get into robot combat to start much smaller. There are ant weight categories. We're talking like a three-pound robot, not a 250-pound robot.

So if I got started, that's where I would. get started and it is very tempting um there are local teams here in seattle in fact i talked to some while we're in Vegas we're going to go hang out with them and and potentially pick up another hobby i would i if it progresses that eventually maybe in a couple years we'll have a team in the big show that would be amazing to see yeah i also do what i point out too i want to do a little proselytizing for my my twin brother is a robotics coach for his high school. And his goal is to get young people into robotics. Battlebots is a really great inspiration. But if you're a high schooler and you've got a robotics program in your high school,

I'm going to say it's worth checking out. You'll learn actual valuable skills you can apply to jobs. And you'll be on a team and you'll learn teamwork. And it's wicked fun. If I had to guess, I'm guessing less schools have it than would be optimal, right? It's probably a rare It's more every year. And there are a couple of different leagues, next robotics and first robotics. You want to take a peek out for them. Nice. See if they have any programs in your area.

Nice. Go do it, everybody. Fight robot. Robot fights. Woo! Yeah. Nice. Keep them, you know, build them up so that when they take over, they've got a lot of experience.

Yeah. Yeah. And then maybe they'll respect you. Yeah. And you'll be spared. Yes. Oh, this is the guy that put us in a ring and made us fight each other. He's the first to go.

It's a lot of maybes. Who knows? Bill, you always bring a little something extra with you. What do you got this week? This is an older video from William Osmond. He's a goofy maker man. He got to, I'm using air quotes now, build a battlebot and fight another battlebot. This video is called a $40 battle bot versus a $25,000 battle bot.

It's fun. It's silly. Is this the arena that you went to, by the way? yeah it's so good um he has friends there and they let him play in the arena somehow and they built a tiny robot out of an rc car and put it against a real battlebot imagine what happened it doesn't make it any less fun to watch wow this this video versus subscriber count is like what you all dream of it's he's got 2.7 million subscribers of this video has 2.4 million views right that's pretty good ratio right there yeah i'm going to have to watch and see how this all

Oh, my God, Lord. It's like a pink unicorn. I love that's got a little horse head on it and little pinwheels. Funny enough, this video does get a pretty good idea with the behind the scenes at Battlebots is kind of like. Yeah. Oh, God. It's a long, moist pony. Just destroys it.

Brian, when you get to the point where he blows it up, I'm going to. That's amazing. Yeah, it's like, it's like it just exploded into a bunch of flies. Yeah, it's barely even, it's like nothing's there now. Yeah, they were, they found five. Parts of it in the ceiling rigging later. That's really incredible. All right.

Nice, fine. That's really good. Robo combat. Get involved. Make it happen. In the meantime, follow Bill over at Chimbeard on Twitter. And, of course, you can find him at punishprops.com and YouTube and all those places. Do it today if you haven't already.

Bill, have a fantastic week. We'll see you next Tuesday. See you. Bye. That is great. I thought I would chuck it, like, into the air or whatever. Yeah. It disintegrates it.

It vaporized the damn thing. Yeah. That's insane. If that gives you a better feel for what the power of these are, like, that's, that is disgusting what that thing did to that poor creature. All right. Nicely done. Hey, how about some science? How do you feel about that?

Yeah. Yeah. You like a little science, do you? Yeah. Let's balance some of the fun with, you know, some of the education, you know. Yeah. Got to be educated. Why not? Here you go.

It is science. And that means Bobby Frankenberger's here. Not to host while Brian's sick or anything like that. He's here to talk about science. Oh, but you did a great job, man. Thank you for filling in last week. He did a good job. Nicely done, Bobby. Thanks. You did a great job too, Brian.

Oh, thanks. Recuperating, healing. Congolessing in the chat room, hazing, everybody? All of those things. Hey, Bobby, can we play this video of you that you sent me before we do anything else? Absolutely. Oh, gosh. Yeah, let me pull up Twitch so I can watch it. I'll also stick this. Let's see. I've got to pull up. Oh, yeah. If you put it in our chat, then I'll share it and then you can play it without sound and try and match things up as best I can.

Way less weird. Hold on a second. Okay, this is coming to you. I don't know about way less weird. It's pretty weird. All right. Let me pull it over here so the chat can see it. Yep, that dude leaning against that wall is absolutely Bobby. Let me zoom this in some. Okay, here we go. I'm going to play it with the audio. Enjoy.

It's music. Is it a PVC pipe? Is that Nick Fury? I can't tell me. That's one of the inspiration. Oh, that mustache. And look how sweaty he is. Hotlights

South Carolina Pete This music is so bad All right here we go I'm here to fix the cable He's got an airsoft gun in his pocket Took you long enough Me and my mustache are getting bored waiting for you

Look man, we ran into some traffic all right You think I give a damn about the traffic What do I look like some kind of hoity-to-oity business man, fresh out of business school? Frayy getting his taint ripped out because he's been late for the first two times in his life. Look! I have a mustache. End of list. It was a nice long pause. I'm just busting your chops, man. I'm just busting your chops. All right.

Chops busting. Listen, wise guy. Do you want this stuff or not? I think I smoke this cigar for my health? Because I do. Why did you open that damn truck? It kind of goes like that for a while, but it's amazing, you guys. It's amazing. Bobby, tell us more.

Why are you the one-eyed, tough guy in this? Cigar chumping, mustache wearing. When I was in college, my very good friend, very close friend, started a production company. He was a media arts student in the same college that we went to. I was studying psychology. And he was studying media arts. But anyway, he had a production company called Pretty Penny Productions,

and we made a bunch of, this is one of the things that we made. We also made another thing featuring that same character in a different way. But anyway, I had the idea to make a buddy cop. sitcom sort of and this was before by the way there was a period of time where this making fun of the buddy cop genre was all the race so this was before

all of that we were we were on the leading edge I claim that's right before loaded weapon one yeah but you know before things like I don't know there was a there was an adult swim

show that came not too long after we did this and that that that got really big and then of course there was like um what's the thing what's the thing that everybody knows the thing i can't remember brooklyn nine nine oh yeah came along and it also made fun of the genre anyway this was before all of that this was also like right before youtube um so we had we put these all the videos that we made we put on our own website and we had like hang flyers at the university to try to get people to watch them what you what are we talking here

Is this like 03, 02, 04? It was, well, so I think it was 04, so YouTube technically did exist, by the way. It's just, it was very small, and people, back then it was just people putting their, like, cat videos on, right? People hadn't really started doing, this was before, you know, the Guild wasn't around yet, which was kind of like when it seemed like that was about when everybody started to realize, is, oh, you can make web series. Right. Oh, this must have been, okay, wait a minute.

Oh, okay, I found some data. This is interesting. Just a little history lesson, everybody. February 14th, 2005 was the date it was founded. So that's 17 years ago now. And then Google bought it a year later as all. Oh, really? It was that short.

That's quick. So it must have been so, like, ridiculously upticked. What a bargain, man. Yeah, they did get it for a bargain, no question about it. See, they sold it for... We worked on this the winter of 2004, so it was before YouTube, right before YouTube.

Yeah, yeah. And that scene that you played was... I wrote that, I dreamt that scene in its entirety, the way it is, and I woke up... It was like a story you're here. I woke up in the middle of the night,

got a notepad, or got on my computer, or whatever, and I typed out the script for the whole thing. And the next day, I gave it to my friend, and I said, this is my pitch for the series we're making. And then we made it. But it was very fun. That's awesome, dude. Well, thanks for being willing to share the goofiness of it because we all have dumb videos like this in the past.

Oh, for sure. I've made way more dumb videos than that. We made a lot. We had this whole thing because we were trying to gear up to make this show. And we knew we needed a lot of experience. gear was expensive to have back then this was before cheap LED lights that you can you know stick to the top of your DSLR camera right yeah we had to rent things not rent but we had to check things out of the media arts department they were like giant halogen lights that you lugged around you had to have like a whole crew of people we had big shoulder mounted cameras that only like shot in 480P wow wow same mustache Or did you grow your mustache or was that a fake one? That was a fake mustache.

If you watch to the end of the scene, he rips it off. Oh. And to reveal that he was undercover the whole time. Oh, man. Who would have thought? Who would have thunk it? That's fantastic. I love it.

You should make more. Let's do a sequel. Sequel series on the way. There's four full episodes and we premiered them in a local theater and sold DVDs and everything. Really? That's awesome. Wow. All right.

You guys were entrepreneurs. entrepreneurs and we were trying to make it on to public access television i think there was like some political uh people not knowing the right people things that kept us from doing that but um but we were we were serious yeah uh by the way so just just for fun these numbers are interesting uh so it was only 10 months after its official launch 18 months after the first video was ever posted youtube bought it for 1.6 billion which at the time sounded like like a lot of money. Their revenue this year, or just last year, which is the last recorded full revenue run,

$28.8 billion in revenue last year. I think Google maybe got a deal. They may not know it. They probably know it. I'm sure they know it. I'm sure they know. They're like, brilliant. Whoever got in on that one early.

Yeah, pretty smart. Anyway, well, let's talk about some science. I didn't want to assume that you were going to talk about this, this meteor, I guess, that's coming past us next week. and if there's anything to bring up about that. But even if you didn't, do you know anything about that? Is there anything to worry about? Are we supposed to do anything?

I know a little bit about it. There's nothing to worry about. But it's a, so the astray that you're talking about, there is one that's passing. It's actually passing by its closest approach as we speak. Oh. It's a, it's like a, well, it's like, what is it, 50, it's like one and a half million miles away, which is six times. the distance between the moon and the earth

which on astronomical terms is pretty close so that's why people think like when they make a big deal out of it is because they're saying like that's a pretty close there's things passing by us all the time that are really really close we should probably do a better job of monitoring all this stuff

is this one closer than the one that we shot a rocket at to kind of test our Armageddon practice? Oh yeah yeah a lot a lot. Why didn't we wait for this one then if this one was going to be closer? Yeah, it seems easier. I guess. It's actually an interesting question because there is a very deliberate reason

they chose the I think it was a pair of asteroids that they shot the DART project at that you're talking about. That's right, okay. And it was the Demos and something else were the name of the two, but it was a larger

asteroid and then a smaller asteroid that was orbiting the larger one. And the reason they picked that is because A, it was really far away, so if they messed up, it wouldn't accidentally knock it into the Earth. Oh, that's a very good point. Right. You hate to, you know,

go for the eight ball and scratch. Right, exactly. You know what they should have done? They should have named that asteroid Tanagra. Name the two missiles, Darmac and Jalad. And then Darmac and Jalad at Tanagra is what they should have done, those dummies. Anyway, how did that actually yield anything?

I never heard follow-up. Yielded tons of data. It was super successful that project, the DART mission. Very successful. Lots of data was gathered from that. The reason, but again, the reason that they chose it is because a very small asteroid orbiting a larger asteroid has a very weak connection to system. Like, it's a very weakly connected system, but also very predictably connected. So they could, they could calculate what they expected to happen and then easily measure whether, what they expected to happen, would happen. And they could gather really easy data from how much, like, what size of an object do you need to crash into another object? What would happen? What would, you know, and stuff like that. So it was just easy to collect data from such a small set of things. Interesting.

And this thing that's passing us as we speak, if it were big enough to, it's not big enough to alter any, you know, any gravity, gravitational poles or any kind of any of that. that, right? No, no, it's, it's not. But it's big enough to, to give everyone on Earth a bad day if it hit us. Yeah, it'd be bad, right? It'd be, would it be an extinction level event size one or not? I don't remember what the size ranges are for things like that, but it's very big. It's like, it's like, it's like 500, something like 500 meters across estimated, which it's like as big as a skyscraper, yeah. Okay, big enough to probably act like a multiple number of nukes being set off or something. Oh, yeah, yeah. It would certainly, I mean, I feel comfortable saying that if it hit

the United States, then you could say goodbye to the United States, but... That'd be the end of it. Even the bunkers that are all that we keep all our fancy people in, those wouldn't make it either, probably, something like that. Maybe not the whole country, but I don't know. I don't know. I don't want to say too much because I don't have the numbers in front of me, because they have size ranges. Because you have a good bunker. You just don't want people crashing the bunker. Yeah, exactly. I don't want to talk too much about the bunkers. I'd rather people think that bunkers aren't a big thing. Bunkers are ineffective.

Yeah. I've still got my spot on one of the bunkers, one of the fallout bunkers. Nice. Nice. Well, all right. Well, no. Forget about meteors for now. They're all good. They're all flying around and doing their thing. What, uh, what, what, what great science have you brought with us today? I, I just had a COVID update. I thought, uh, we would just talk about, just check in with COVID every once in a while. the middle there. Yeah.

Okay, good. Yeah. It's still around. It's still a pandemic. It's not quite endemic yet. But it's, anyway, there's a couple of things to catch up on. First of all, you know about the new strain, BQ1. I know we talked about that last week, Scott, you and I.

It's continuing to become dominant. They think that it's going to become the primary strain within the next few weeks, by the end of the year at least. So there's that. that's one thing you should know. They think that there's going to be a big new wave coming this winter. The White House is talking a lot about it. Biden's talking a lot about it, which is funny.

Do you remember not too long ago he said the pandemic was over? Oh, yeah, yeah. And now he was just sent out. I'll that back a little bit, yeah. Then he just literally said this, talked all about how this is not over. He said, he's... What I don't like about what the White House is saying with the pandemic is they're focusing a lot on personal responsibility, which makes me uncomfortable. And I know that everybody should get their vaccines and do what they can to prevent things.

But I have, I don't know, I have trouble. And it makes me uncomfortable when people just try to put it on the individuals. And there's a lot we need to do probably on an individual. It's an easy way to, like part of me, I'm a big believer. in personal responsibility and people doing the right thing. But the problem with saying it at a level where power is at its peak is that you are making a lot of assumptions about where people are, where their heads are at, what their economic status is.

Like you're kind of making it sound like everybody's at the exact same place and they're not. So I just don't think it's too blankety and easy. It's just too easy. It's a easy way to. It's just a matter of we're saying, well, the people who do take personal responsibility will automatically go out and get the new vaccines. And the people who've been fighting this whole thing, it's not going to change if we just say, okay, take personal responsibility. That's not going to change their minds. So why spend that, why go to that effort, basically?

Yeah. Yeah. So like, for example, Biden said, this year, you know, this coming year, or he said this year, nearly every death is, he's talking about upcoming death. because they predict that we're likely, with this new wave, they're expecting between 30 and 70,000 deaths this winter. Which sounds like a lot, and it is a lot, but it is less than it was last winter. A lot less than the hundreds of thousands that we had in 2020 and 2021, yeah. Yeah, yeah, because that's like 350 deaths per day that they're predicting.

That's the current level, and they're predicting that and maybe up to 500 per day or something like that. But last winter, we were at like 11 or 1,200 a day. And that was at its lowest, right? Like, it's gotten even higher than that. So we're on the down trend, but yeah, we want there to be less death, certainly. But anyway, what he's talking about, he said this year, nearly every death is preventable. He said that. And while that's technically true, it's like, yeah, we've been talking about how it's all preventable for a couple of years now, and it's not changing anything anymore.

so maybe maybe that's not the way we need to to approach this yeah i don't like it either but i the way well i i the way i look at it now is that if you there are not a lot of people on the fence you either got the vaccine or you didn't you either contributed to the problem or didn't you know what i mean so i i don't know how you're going to make any headway there the headway you were going to make there happen in 2020 or 2021 early or something but at this stage i feel like this flags are... You're shouting it to a void saddle. Well, the flags are planted.

You know, wherever you planted yours, you planted it. So, I don't know. Is that what... No one's going to turn around and say, all right, you win. Yeah, no one's going to do that. So since they're not going to do that, when do you call it endemic? When can that happen? Because can they use that up?

Yeah, I'm glad you're asking that. There are some people in the chat who are also saying, I thought it was endemic. And I have certainly talked about how it's more or less, like experts are saying, it's more or less going to be endemic and whatnot. Technically, it's not technically endemic yet. It's still technically a pandemic. And that's because for it to be endemic, what it needs to be is, there needs to be sort of a steady state.

It's there and it's always kind of at a background level and it's not on a large scale or even a small scale, but on some sort of level it needs to, not be spreading not not be spreading exponentially right and and you need to stop seeing death and and hospitalizations at such a massive scale that we're seeing right now so like so like the flu I guess what I'm saying is is it possible that that it will just have a higher higher rates across the board of both hospitalization spread and death and still you can just raise the definition of endemic to match what the virus decides it is for the next 10 years?

You know what I'm saying? Does that make sense? Like, the definition of endemic may have to change a little, is what I mean? The trouble is that there are sort of two definitions of endemic that people use. There's the technical, like epidemiology definition of endemic, which is very technical, and it means that, and it's on a local level. So you can have a virus that's endemic to a particular country or endemic to a particular continent. And it's a, and it's a particular continent. It just means that you remember talking about the R value early on in the COVID pandemic? I do remember that, yeah. The R value is this number that they give saying, what is it, on average, any person who is

infected, how many people are they going to give it to? So if you have an R value of three, this virus has an R value of three, that means if one person gets infected, they're likely to spread it to three people. The reason I bring that up is because on an epidemiological level, endemic, one of the main features of an endemic virus is that the R value is one, which means that if you get it, you're only going to pass it on to one person, and that's how it maintains a steady state. Because any R value higher than one means it's going to spread on some exponential level, and any R value less than one means it will eventually die out.

So an R value of one. That's the epidemiological definition. But we tend to use it in sort of a public health way and sort of a colloquial way. we tend to use endemic to mean that it's sort of just in the background. Now, the flu, you might be able to argue, is not endemic on a purely epidemiological level, at least at certain points in time, because when it's flu season, the R-value of the flu, the influenza virus is definitely more than one. But then it also dies down eventually and goes less than that, right?

So on a larger scale, you think about it. it as endemic. So yes, the definition of endemic really just means if you want to just have an easy definition, it just means the virus has entered a steady state and things on some sort of larger scale are not changing and it's just there, doing what it does. Yeah. Interesting. Okay. Well, that's where we're at. It has, you know, I've got some travel to do. Brian's got some travel to do. I'm really hoping we beat whatever wave is coming with this stupid travel. And, you know, whatever. I just don't want to see a bunch more death this year.

It'd be real nice not to have that, you know. Yeah. You're going to have some. You always have some. You're going to have flu deaths. I mean, the version of the flu Brian got would kill a 90-year-old. Like, people would die. It was horrendous, especially compared to my COVID experience.

Yeah. The flu knocked me out. The plus side of all of this is that as long as like your good news on an individual level is that as long as you are getting your booster vaccines and as long as you are paying attention to what you're doing and trying to be as careful as possible like if we're in the middle of a wave, for example, just, you know, maybe wear masks when you go to the grocery store. um as long as you're doing those little things then then covid has gotten to the point where if you get it you're going to be you're probably going to be okay and if you want to if you want to really head your bets then if you get it then see if you can get um a prescription written for paxlovid which is the antiviral for for covid right and um and that'll help too and just just do the smart things and you're fine you're we're gonna you're probably going to be able to live with it i hesitate

and I keep saying probably because I don't, there are outside cases, which is why we want to get this under control because that's not the same story for everybody. There are people out there who are still dying from this, of course. And so we want to encourage everybody to do the right thing in order to help those people, right? Yeah.

But you've gotten your booster and that's what you can do. When another one comes out at some point, you get that one and you're doing, You're doing what you can do. How soon do you think, just to kind of finish things up here, how soon do you think we start to see MRNA technology in other stuff like flu shots? Maybe it already is. I don't know.

But is that stuff on the way? It wasn't in this flu season. It just might have been a little too early. People were focused on doing that with COVID. But there's no telling any time now. I would suspect probably next year I wouldn't be surprised if they at least don't start. messing with experimenting and figuring it out because it's it's a very good in technology that's easy to implement once you've once you've identified the MRI strain that you're going to use

so and we know so much about the flu that that it doesn't seem like it should be um should be too hard it's just they need to do it and and I think we're getting to the point if my guess is that we're getting to the point where that's going to be any time now all right I'm down with it. Yeah, yeah. They're already experimenting with this technology in lots of different places. It's just when are we consumers and just regular old people going to start seeing it. Yep, regular old people. That's what I call myself now. I'm an irregular old person. Well, you know, more fiber, Brian. They make metam useful for that. Yeah, you just need fiber. Well, Bobby, always a pleasure having you on and talking about this stuff, tell people where they can find

more science coverage and news from you. Well, I've got the all-around science podcast that you guys can listen to. Every week we talk about science-y news stuff. This past week, the episode that just came out yesterday, we talked about, well, it was Halloween yesterday, so we talked about the science of fear and why we're afraid of things and why we like to be, why we seek out things that are scary and stuff like that. Nice. That sounds great.

It's all-around science. and you can get that wherever you get your podcast. Bobby, you have a great day. May your mustache never fail. And we'll see you next time. Bye now. See, Bobby. All right.

Glad he was willing to share this. Do you want this stuff in the trunk or not? My mustache is cutting checks or whatever. It's pretty great. My mustache has been waiting for you for half an hour. I just got here myself. Oh, I'd love a mustache that got there before me. That'd be great.

By the way, here we are two weeks after my accidental overshave. Yeah, it's looking good. It's back to normal. Yeah. Back to about the way I like it. You take about as long as I do. I'm afraid to cut this because it's going to take me forever to get this back if I cut it. So I'm going to hang on to it for a while.

All that work with the just-for-men brown dye shampoo, damn it. You have to start over. Now you've got to start over. Robert from Hender Tucky would like to start over an email here he sent in Okay this is a he calls this the final solution That's a that's a not a term you want to use lately It's a it's a term maybe Yeah I guess maybe we're taking it back I don't know

But anyway Robert says the smoke detector issue Dear Scott and Brian is not difficult to solve I use a little thing called a calendar event In this case I use my birthday as the day and I changed the smoke detector battery in the house on every smoke detector. And then I go get the old finger up the bum. It's like happy birthday, grab a ladder and bend over all in one day. It's, you know, if you get up on that ladder high enough to change the battery, then you

could probably get both things done at once. Yeah. I don't know if I'd go to my doctor on my birthday for the finger up the bum. Yeah, no. Whatever. Hard pass. Anyway, it says even a cheap battery will last a year. It makes more sense to schedule battery replacement than to have the smoke detector industry.

redesign and the beep reminding you about, sorry, remind you to do what you were already supposed to have done, knowing that you will hate chasing down the beep at 3 a.m., which is more annoying, replacing one battery at 3 a.m. or replacing all of them in the middle of the day after you've had cake and a finger up your bum. Don't get me wrong. I really enjoy hearing you to noodle on the detector technology industry, especially like the idea of having a voice a voice talk to you before the battery would die. Y'all know what else you can talk about at a scheduled time? No, no, no, no.

You know what else can talk to you? Oh, talk to you at a scheduled time. A calendar event. Lick a batteryo, Robert from Hender Tucky. Yeah. All right. I mean, if you do it at the daylight savings time, that's the ideal, right? Just like, yeah, daylight savings time, change all the batteries.
