Starting point is 00:00:00 I earned my degree online at Arizona State University. I chose to get my degree at ASU because I knew that I'd get a quality education. They were recognized for excellence and that I would be prepared for the workforce upon graduating. To be associated with ASU, both as a student and alum, it makes me extremely proud and having experienced the program, I know now that I'm set up for success. Learn more at ASUonline.asu.edu.

Starting point is 00:01:06 Stream. Why do people play rock paper scissors? It's a stupid, stupid game. It does not work. The logic is really not right. The following scene is a simulation, but it might have happened. The morning stream. Where can I hook up my modem?
Starting point is 00:01:41 Good morning and welcome to TMS for Tuesday, November 9th, 8th, rather 8th. It's the 8th, 22. Oh, thank God, because otherwise I'll be like, oh, no, I'm late. I was just looking at the, looking at Wednesday on my calendar here and I left it up like a dumbass. Speaking of which, Brian is, it's his last broadcast day this week. he'll be gone for the next two days. It sounds so ominous. It does sound ominous.
Starting point is 00:02:03 He's coming back. Don't worry. He'll be back there on Friday for a little couch party. Oh, yeah, even Friday. Right, exactly. In film sack and all that. So he's not really, really leaving. He just isn't going to be on TMS for two days.
Starting point is 00:02:13 But it's fine. He'll be getting chiber crystals and concerting. Watching a concert. Maybe having a drink with render. Yeah, why not? Seems like Randy was down to clown. I tried to get a reservation at jazz kitchen.
Starting point is 00:02:29 I moved Catwoman. Yeah, he moved Catwoman, is what he did. That's right. Yeah, that'll be fun. It's always good to... It'll be fun. It's a, you know, it's a fun part of the country to go to. Even though I'm not going to set foot in Disneyland proper, sadly, it'll be very difficult
Starting point is 00:02:45 to be on the outside of that fence looking in as we, you know, we walked through downtown Disney, be like, oh, there's Guardians of the Galaxy. Oh, there's Space Mountain. Oh, I can smell the church. Oh, there's pirates of the car man. What's the deal? So how come, so, so, so Disney, downtown Disney always confuse me a little bit.
Starting point is 00:03:06 It's meant to be available to everybody, right? You don't have to have a ticket. It is available to everybody, yeah. Right. There was never a time where that was locked off, right? Never a time. Never a time. The only thing they've got are, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:16 like security checkpoints at each end so that you're not bringing anything dangerous into downtown Disney vis-a-vis-vis, whatever. to Disneyland because basically it's the security checkpoint for Disneyland and DCA as well. Right, because if you're in Disney, you just walk right over there. It's no big deal.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Right, exactly. So they got to keep the riffraff out of there. I get it. I understand. There's no more freaking Earl of Sandwich, which was my go-to. That was such a great restaurant there in downtown Disney. Yeah, what happened there? They just couldn't cut it or just couldn't cut it? I don't even know, you know, it's been such a long time since I've been in
Starting point is 00:03:57 Planet Hollywood in Vegas, which I guess isn't Planet Hollywood anymore. It's back to being the Aladdin. Is it? Isn't it? Wait a minute. No, I'm confused. I didn't know that. Is that that's true?
Starting point is 00:04:09 That'd be amazing. Hold on a second. I know Tropicana. I know Tropicana went to a different name or something. No, Tropicana is still Tropicana. That's where the... Somebody helped me out here. Am I forgetting, like, is Planet Hollywood, I know that used to be the Aladdin, and I
Starting point is 00:04:27 thought they renamed it back is what's happening scott to my vagus memory i don't know what the heck that means you've been away from Vegas too long you got to get back there it is still planet hollywood right it is okay okay that's right it was new aladdin from 2000 to 2007 it was uh it was uh it was uh latin regular original flavor aladdin before then vanilla aladdin yeah and still hasn't i don't know why i was thinking uh yeah because it is such a stupid stupid planet Hollywood. No, Aladdin. Way better name for that casino. I don't care. But anyway. I agree. I didn't know about the era where it was called New Aladdin. That's news to me. I didn't know that. Yeah. Yeah. I had no idea. I don't know if it was actually, like, I don't think they had the word new on the sign. I think it was just Aladdin, but it was referred to as New Aladdin. Just need Aladdin classic, and we're all set. Right. Original flavor. Regardless, there was an Earl of Sandwich in there. And I don't know if there is still an Earl of Sandwich in Planet Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:05:27 but it was my number one reason to go to the Planet Hollywood casino because I wouldn't usually stay there. No. It would be no other reason for me to go to Planet Hollywood except for going to Earl of Sandwich. Yeah. Maybe the Earl was promoted to a Duke of Sandwich somewhere. Maybe. Is that the succession to go to Duke?
Starting point is 00:05:48 Oh, I don't know. I don't know. Is Duke above Earl? I don't know. Is Zoe here? I know there was a Duke of Earl, but that was just a song from the Duke of the Duke. the 50s. I think there was a Duke of Sandwich or an Earl of, an actual Earl of Sandwich, like the place was called Sandwich, right? Like an old British something place. Yes. Yeah. The origin
Starting point is 00:06:06 of the term. Yeah. The old, old, uh, Berg. Yeah, the old, uh, Berg. Yeah, the old, uh, don't want to call it a city. It's only, it's only, it's only, it's a township I'd want to go to is a sandwich. Why would you go anywhere else? Man, I'd love a good sandwich. I do love a good sandwich. Oh, it's so good. All right. Hey, you guys, I thought we'd do some clearinghouse today at the top of the show. Oh, good. Blow out some old product. Okay. It's going cheap, everybody. Grab it now. Yeah, get it now while the getting's good. We just have a pile up of texts I'd like to read that you guys have sent in. And as always, these are great. And we love them. So keep them coming as a reminder. Play our text sound. There you go. Here's the number you got to use. 80147-10462 to send these texts. This isn't for live people.

Starting point is 00:07:06 Here's one about animals. This is from Sarinix, who I think is in the chat today. I thought I saw his name flash by. Hello, Scott and Brian. There are many animal-themed characters in Marvel and D.C. What animal theme would you choose for yourself and what powers would you have? yours in this life and the next Syranx
Starting point is 00:07:23 Why is it yours? Oh, he's doing the core thing from John Sorry, I couldn't understand what I was Because so many of them are taken Like it's, you know, there's not many left that haven't been You're like left with the mosquito Or The naked roll rat
Starting point is 00:07:43 Well, let's think of what we got We got Blue Beetle already We got Squirrel Girl, she's done And I'm counting insects Wolverine, right? It's a perfect one. Black Panther, of course. Tarantula, Black Widow.
Starting point is 00:07:56 I mean, if we're just even going in the Arakhanid family. Yeah, there's plenty of spider stuff. So, like, skunk man says the chat. You know what? There's probably something like that. Is there a hero that, like, farts real bad or something?
Starting point is 00:08:10 Yeah, right, or can just like, you know, a noxious fumes creature. I know there is. Could I do some sort of play on the Pachycephalosaurus? Yeah, always. Always. Because I like that dinosaur because he's just got a big, you know, a big plate in his head that's super strong. And I wouldn't keep hitting mine on the trunk of my car accidentally.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Well, outside of Spider-Rex, are there any dinosaur-type heroes in the DC or Marvel Universe? I can't think of one. There's a devil-dino. Oh, Devil-Dino. Devil Dinosaur. And be on the lookout for a brand-new cartoon coming to your Disney Plus. Oh, Disney Plus. Is he going to Disney Plus next year?
Starting point is 00:08:53 Oh. Got to see, I get to you and I got to see the pilot. Yeah. Is it good? It's great with Morpheus. Morpheus was there introducing the pilot of his brand new show that he's producing. Oh, wait a minute. For real?
Starting point is 00:09:06 Like, what's his name? Is producing it? Yes. And I'm glad you're running into the what's his name too because now all of a sudden I can't remember. I can't think of his name. we're talking about you know Dallas Byers Club skinny guy right we're talking about him
Starting point is 00:09:23 Fishburn Oh oh Lawrence Fishburn Yeah no not Wait wait wait I thought you said Morbius You said Morpheus Oh I said Morpheus Yeah I heard Morbius in my head
Starting point is 00:09:37 For some reason I'm sure you said it right I'm being done nice Good old Larry Fishburn Who he just saw running the halls of Of Dream Warriors high Oh yeah The Dream Warrior Sanitarium. Credited as Larry Fishburn.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Larry Fishburn will always be Larry Fishburn and me. I didn't realize this was his gig. That's cool. This is his gig. He does a voice and he's also producing it. And it was really good. I'm looking forward to it. It's got a very Power Puff Girl's frenetic style to it, which we really, really like.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Well, Sarinix, my answer to this is I would do a bat. Now, let me explain. A bat, like a bat man. I would be. I would prowl the night looking for criminals. Yeah, it's original. Nobody's done this shit. I would work kind of with the police department,
Starting point is 00:10:26 but in a clandestine way, and the only way I'd know is if they'd shoot a thing into the clouds that said, hey, we need your help. It's all original. Like a big sign that says, hey, Batman. Yeah, hey Batman, get in here, and I'd go help them with whatever they needed. This is all original.
Starting point is 00:10:39 If you will. Yeah, signal. You could call the bad signal. I don't know. You could do whatever you want. Sure, sure. be in this town called Gritham
Starting point is 00:10:48 and it'll be great I really can't think of a good animal thing though I really can't I know I know What hasn't been done Dogs have been done Is there a honey badger? Pretty sure there's a honey badger
Starting point is 00:10:58 Right Is there It's gotta be I figure like You know we found Oh I guess you didn't watch it But a recent Disney Plus Marvel series
Starting point is 00:11:10 Reintroduced us to The Porcupine Oh Did that happen in She-Hulk, I guess? I'm not going to say. I'm not going to spoil it for anybody. Sounds right. But, you know, like all of these D and E-List Marvel heroes that I think, you know, we've gotten.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Oh, there we go. So, yep, there is a honey badger. How about the pigeon? Someone in the chat says pigeon. Is there a pigeon? I mean, there's a dove, hawk and dove, and dove is a pigeon. Did you guys know that pigeons are just doves? They're just gray, dirty doves.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Doves? Doves. Doves. Doves was a separate. Doves are just part of the pigeon world? Or the other way. Like, pigeons are part of the world. Oh, I see pigeons are just doves that have, like, been under a car and getting all oily. Pigeonopedia says, this is literally true. Oh, there's a, there's a source that I trust. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:12:07 It says, while doves and pigeons are both descended from the wild rock dove, the one big difference between the species is they have different number of chromosomes. 76 of their 78 match, though. So they're basically doves. They're basically doves. Yeah. According to Mental Floss, which is a side I trust, Scott. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Both dove and pigeon refer to the 300 plus species of birds in the Columbidae family. No difference between a pigeon and a dove in scientific nomenclature, but colloquial English tends to categorize them by size. Yeah, and usually color, if they're white, everyone's like, oh, they're beautiful. Let them out on your wedding. And if they're gray, you're like, get out of here, you sewage rat. Yeah, you're flying rat. People hate them. But you're hating on the same.
Starting point is 00:12:50 They're all the same bird man. Bird man. There's another bird man. See, we got two men. I can't think of one that hasn't been taken. Oh, so many birdmans, right? The vulture, the condor man. What are we going to watch Condor man, by the way?
Starting point is 00:13:02 Hawkman. Condor man would be amazing. Why aren't we watching that right? This freaking second. Eagle, well, what the eagle something. Eagle man. Eagle man. I don't know what you.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Eagle man. I'm not sure. Sadly, he's bald, and that's his only power. He's pretty good at picking up rats and eating them or whatever he gets there. Serenax will have to get back to you. I don't know. I have no idea. Here's one from Missy, who says,
Starting point is 00:13:29 random question. Have Scott or Brian watched Players? If not, you have to watch this amazing show, says Missy. I don't know what Players is. Players is a mockumentary series about a League of Legends type e-sports league. Oh, I heard really good things about this. Really? Okay. Yeah, like legit except just the description.
Starting point is 00:13:49 I heard it was like legitimately funny and good, but also they get, they absolutely get the culture of what they're having fun with. See, that's good because that's one of those things you don't want like an outsider saying, well, this is what I think e-sports is from a completely outside the world of view. Yeah, exactly. Let's see. Matt Fowler of IGN says players about a professional league of legends e-sports team is another big monument. win for the creators of American Vandal. Nine out of ten. Wow.
Starting point is 00:14:19 What's it on? What's it streaming on? Paramount Plus. Yep, Paramount Plus. Okay. All right. So that is one I definitely want to see. This is one I can add to my Brian Watch without Tina list because she certainly won't care about an e-sports league TV mockumentary show.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Yeah, I guess it depends on how good they are at the mockumentary part. You know what I mean? So that it feels like it stands, even though if you have no interest in e-sports, maybe it's like a, I don't know, to get you a little further because it's funny. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe, yeah. But speaking of that world, I'm so glad Mythic Quest is about to come back for its new season.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Love that show. Is it third and final or do we know? Third, but I don't know about final. They haven't announced it being the final season. I thought I saw something about it. Oh, Atlanta. Atlanta's final episode. God, I loved this most recent season of Atlanta. I just loved and
Starting point is 00:15:14 it's an amazing show it really is yeah one of the best I'll be it's over it after this right they're done yeah Thursday's episode is the final episode this last one with oh not Darius not Ernie what is the guy's name the rapper dude a big boy not big boy
Starting point is 00:15:34 Brent to the paper boy paper boy him and his his farm life is just so fantastic Such a great episode. I've got this whole season I've got to catch up on. I'm excited to, though. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Will you guys watch the Hallmark film with your wives? No. Eight bucks for Christmas. That's terrible. That's terrible. But also, Kim is, she is getting in the mood. But here's how it goes. She starts with non-Christmas rom-com material and then works her way into it.
Starting point is 00:16:11 So right now she's watching. I don't know what it was last night, something with a bunch of people, I don't know. But it was some rom-com, and then she'll do probably one or two more of those, and then she'll start dabbling in the Christmas-themed ones, and then it's full hallmark for the rest of the season. That's how this goes.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Wow. Yep. So I'll go and watch e-sports mockumentary. That's what I'm going to do. She can sit up there and watch all her bull-ess. There's a weird way of saying bullshit. All right, let's move on. Here's just a nice thing somebody said.
Starting point is 00:16:40 This is, let's see. I'm not sure they give us their name. Anyway, hi, Scott and Brian and Wendy. Sarah here with a quick hat trick of comments for the three of you. I'll pass this on to Wendy as well. Oh, there it is, Sarah. Scott, thank you absolutely for everything you're doing, and I appreciate all the hard work and chore core recommendations.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Brian, absolutely on point with the music selections. You are the reason my iTunes wish list is growing exponentially. Finally, Wendy, thank you for the hour and a half sleep suggestion recently. That's done wonders for both me and my husband. Thanks, and have a lovely day. Oh, nice. I will pass that on to Wendy as well, so she's made aware. Thank you, Sarah.
Starting point is 00:17:17 C-E-R-A is how it's spelled. If that's your real name? In case you're stalking her, it's spelled C. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, just to give you one more step toward meeting your true love. But I love that spelling. What a cool spelling that is. I do too, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Because you could say to me, hi, I'm Sarah, and I wouldn't know. I just say, oh, S-A-R-A-H. Unless it's your last name and you're a quirky male actor from Rested development. Yeah, you could be Michael Seira. Sierra. Seat belt thing from a listener here. Question for TMS from Aaron.
Starting point is 00:17:50 He says, Scott mentioned on Tuesday that he's against motorcycle helmet laws. I didn't say I was against him. I think I said I was kind of indifferent. I think people should take care of their heads. This is what I think I said. Yeah. Whether or not it should be a law, I don't know. I'm kind of torn on it.
Starting point is 00:18:04 But anyway, what is his opinion on seatbelt laws? Same concept of law, of a law meant to force people to take safety measures. they might otherwise not um yeah it sounds like if you're if you're for the helmet laws feels like it's got to be yeah or sorry i should say the other way if you're for seatbelt laws you're probably for helmet laws um i'm for here's why i'm here's why i like seatbelt laws and what makes them different in my in my mind yeah um it made the industry include them mandatorially, and they're built into the product. So you have
Starting point is 00:18:42 this seat belt that is in there. You can't get a car without one. I was just going to say, motorcycles, you don't have to buy, the helmet is a built-in helmet that can come down on your head when you sit down on the...
Starting point is 00:18:58 Right, right. And also it's all set in stone, so it just is what it is. And there are plenty of motorcycle drivers who hate helmet laws and will fight it at every turn, but are fine with having seatbelt laws. Well, that seems weird to me too. So, I don't know. Brian, you have a... The big thing for me and Kelly 138 nails
Starting point is 00:19:16 it is that seatbelt laws force parents to put their kids in seatbelts regardless of, you know, whether the parents put them on or not, fine, let it be their own gamble. But if it forces parents to put their kids in seatbelts, then I'm all for it. And you don't
Starting point is 00:19:34 see a lot of kids on motorcycles. That's a good point. I just think having it, I don't know. To me, to me, it's like anything that's almost, it gets team sportsy. It's just, to me, it's like gun ownership or anything else. Like, you're going to, whatever side you pick, you're going to dig in. And for summary, even though it seems contradictory to be okay with seatbelt laws,
Starting point is 00:19:58 but not okay with helmet laws, people are just freaking weird. That's the end result. People are weird, man. Yeah. I mean, I feel, yeah, exactly. I mean, I feel like it should be in a situation where if you are mature enough, you know, mature enough adult to take care of yourself, you can make that decision. However, it should be mandatory for those that are not able to make those decisions for themselves maturely like kids or the other. Yeah. Yeah. If you ever fight, if someone ever fights for like removing seatbelt laws, then, um,
Starting point is 00:20:36 fine do it for adults but you got to keep the kid thing in there yeah you know and i'm always gonna wear one because i'm not a dip shit right exactly that's my whole thing is like that's why that's why i probably sounded like i was i wasn't anti helmets i'm just like if you're a dumb ass fine pro common sense yeah i just we're all pro common sense yeah if i want to wear i'll wear a helmet because i'm not stupid and if you're not wearing one because you feel like you're making a stand freaking good luck with that tree or that rock you're about to slam your head into good luck have fun yeah yeah uh here's one what did brian do is the header here we got one from uh new brunswick canada from josh he says hey fellas i've been wondering what brian did for work when he says he did a little
Starting point is 00:21:18 or he did an install at such and such newspaper plays been listening for years but have never caught what he actually did for a job back then love the show josh from new brunswick so uh brian you want to explain your uh so i ran the support team for a software company from 1992 till two thousand And part of that was either me going or sending out members of my team to different newspapers around the country to do installations of our software at the newspapers, either in tandem with or prior to the trainers going there. Because we really didn't want to rely on somebody at the newspaper. Usually it's the ad director who's super overworked and retail ad manager can't. go around to every computer in their sales department and make sure the software is installed, test it, and that sort of thing.
Starting point is 00:22:11 So I would go out there and I would install anywhere from like five to 50, you know, Dallas, the Dallas Morning News and New York Times and stuff like that would have these massive rooms filled with retail ad sales and I'd have to install on every computer. But then you'd go to someplace like the Vallejo Times in Northern California. You'd be like three computers. Take me like five minutes. Okay, I'm done. Yeah, going back to the hotel.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Yeah, so basically I'd get to decide when the newspaper got sold. Am I going to do the installation or am I going to send one of my people out to the installation? And for the most part, it was like, no, I'm going to go. Are you can? I'm going to go check out Northern California. I'm going to go check out Central Florida or the Carolinas or something like that. but is like, all right, we've got one for the Detroit Free Press. Who wants it?
Starting point is 00:23:08 Let's see. I'm going to send Ashley on that one. Or let's send Adrian or whoever. Sure. Did you become like lord of this, like to the point where you were this expert on all remote installs? And you would be like the guy to talk to and all that. Oh, for sure. Because I mean, I was head of the department.
Starting point is 00:23:25 And so I'd actually be the, you know, I'd have to be the one to answer questions. If I sent somebody else out and they called me from the road. at uh you know six o'clock in the morning because it's eight o'clock where they're at and they're like oh there's a problem we're trying to install it but i'm getting this error on their PC and uh you know i'd have to be the one who'd who'd handle all that anybody in the chat have access quick access to brian's gif of him picking up a chicken instead of phone if i could if i could just use your chicken because i can't find it i can't find it i can't i thought i had it i was like okay well brian's telling the story i'm going to find that gif and
Starting point is 00:24:01 i can't freaking find it but for a long time the Chris Brown that we talk about on this show, my buddy Chris Brown, was my boss for several of those years. Oh, I didn't know that. He was my, yeah, he was, uh, um, uh, head of, uh, of sales and because of that, head of the, like, the training and installation. So Chris Brown was my boss. Nice. Chris Brown calling the shots, as it were. Uh, all right. Here's another one from, uh, see, this is our last one, I guess. This is, from, I like that you put a note here, saying his job back then was high-priced hooker. Yeah, I was going to try.
Starting point is 00:24:40 I was like thinking you'd see that and just start laughing before. I didn't see it until that. I didn't even notice it until that. I was too zoomed in. What a brand new? High-priced hooker. Yeah. Yeah, he was, he did specialty stuff.
Starting point is 00:24:49 You couldn't just get, you know, can't get that stuff anywhere. Here's one from Josh in Indiana, another Josh, two Joshes in a row here, says, this is about translations. I was listening to Tuesday's edition of TMS, and Scott referred to an actor as Digimon Honsu. He says, is there a list somewhere that translates these Scottisms to their real-world names? I can't figure out who Scott was referring to.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Thanks, Josh. I think of all of the people that mispronounced names, like, you know, Chloe Maritz Cortez or whatever you do for Chloe Grace Moretz. I feel like Digimon Hansu is probably the most obvious of who you're talking about. I would have thought so, too, because it looks like. Jaimon Hansu is who he's talking about and all he's doing is just pronouncing the D. That's at the beginning of that name. That's right.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Here's this Wikipedia page. As you can see, it's D.J.I.M.O.N. Which means that actually translates directly to, uh, um, my jokes just fell flat. I couldn't think of the name of the damn thing. What's it called when you do it? Oh, that stands. That's drone mon. Do you get it?
Starting point is 00:25:58 Oh, DGI. I get you. I get it. Drone mon. Anyway, Han, Han... Glad to be waited for that one. I'm too, boy. I'm going to go edit it and post.
Starting point is 00:26:07 It'll sound perfect. Anyway, he's your 58-year-old, amazing actor who's in tons of stuff, and he's great. Think Good Buddy Friend and Gladiator. Think from Guardians. Guardians, Corath the Pursuer, yes. Yeah, think the main actor. His real breakout role was that Spielberg movie where he was a slave in the ship. What was that called?
Starting point is 00:26:31 Oh. Slave in the ship. Amistad. Amistad, yes, thank you. Yeah, I think that was his first deal. Yeah. Or the one that really got him noticed. Anyway, and he's a very, very striking man.
Starting point is 00:26:46 He's just like, wow, look at this guy. Yeah. So there's your Digimon Hansu. And no, there's no list somewhere of all the names I get wrong. No, but you have to make up your own list, and then if you can, then that's great. Yeah, that's great. Yeah. You know, I've, uh, uh, obviously almost all cut up.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Haven't watched the newest episode of Andor, which I think dropped today. But I do like the reuniting of, um, of Forrest Whitaker, uh, and Andy Circus from, uh, Black Panther into, uh, into Andor. Yeah, look at that. A little crossover there. A little crossover. A little, little repairing of those two. I assume the characters that, what's his name, Frandle, Hacksaw? Hacks, Hacks, saw, saw, saw. You're talking about it and saw. It is Saw, Garera.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Saarerrera, yes. Hacksaw, Guerrera. Yeah, that's cool. I didn't know, I didn't know they were both going to be back. I saw screen grab, so I figured they were there. How far are you into? I'm only five episodes in, so I'm way behind, but I'm, I'm on. the catch-up. I really like it, so I'm kind of taking my time.
Starting point is 00:28:00 The one thing I would say, though, I guess somebody online today said that there was a really distracting thing in the latest episode. Oh, really? Somebody's wearing ski boots. Really? Yeah. Are they carrying an ice cream maker by chance? No, but and there were something else, like something, what did he say?
Starting point is 00:28:18 There was some other thing. Oh, I need to see a screen grab. I didn't catch that at all, but that's really funny. Who made, um, oh my gosh. who made like all the old like LucasArts point and click games oh geez
Starting point is 00:28:33 he Sierra? No they just got bought by Microsoft it was it was LucasArts they were the Sierra was the competing company back then Why can't think it was name He made the Jack Black game Where he's like a heavy metal guy
Starting point is 00:28:46 And then he made Oh yeah yeah right Uh The Oh Tim Tim Tim Yeah but I don't want just his first name Tim what
Starting point is 00:28:55 Schaefer. This is the broken age guy, isn't it? Yes, thank you. So Tim Schaefer is the one that pointed it out. Let me see if I can find the post. These are literally just snowboarding boots. Oh, my God, is this, this is such, if this is from that same Reddit, oh, it's not. darn it. There's a Reddit thing called, it's literally just a booklight. That's what it is. There it is. Okay, chat. I see I'm looking at the photos right now of them walking down the hall with those. Those are really just snowboarding boots. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:30 And there was one other, too. I have no idea. There was one other one where it was like snowboarded birds and something else. What was it? Oh, they're the boots. Okay, yeah, the ones they walk on, sure, in the, in the zap floor prison. Oh, I guess what he's talking about earlier was there's a Polaroid camera in there that they use as like a navigational aid, but it's just a Polaroid camera. oh yes yes is what's his face was using it in their in their little siege group i love that too
Starting point is 00:30:01 he hates it he thinks it takes him out of the show is what his problem is and he later says i have expected these guys the guards down the hall to be holding some mountain dew so he's a little annoyed there's uh yeah you've seen the reddit the subreddit that's a book light right uh no let's see i want to there's so much great stuff that they're like pulling out of andor like his cereal that The dude eats Cyril's weird blue cocoa puffs are actually the troll's world tour tricks cereal. No way. That's great.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Yeah. I'm fine with all of this. I am joining. Okay, another one. You know how much I love Dune, right? Dune's great. Yeah, yeah. When they're up in the omnithopters or whatever they're called,
Starting point is 00:30:50 the helicopter things that work like bugs, at one point Papa Atreides there is wearing a helmet and he's flying he's piloting the Omnithopter right you remember this right yep yep
Starting point is 00:31:03 so on his head is this like helmet array thing that just looks a little bit odd but it the reason it looked familiar to me and I went and looked it up it looks like or not only it looks like it is this accessory thing
Starting point is 00:31:16 you can buy for the the HTC Vive like the RHHHH headset that makes it like weighted better in the back kind of like the one you can buy for your quest that like gives you more balance or whatever or I don't know oh yeah what you can buy it like a $50 ad on it's like one of those they literally just used that on his head he's put that on his head and it's doom you know how much money they have for do and they have so much money for due right
Starting point is 00:31:43 you know what though I'm so fine with it there's another photo of like uh an egg slicer that's used as a light in and or I just put in the chat room These are just fine. They are pretty good. Oh, they've got... All right, that's funny. There's another Andor one. Star Wars Andor, uh, wall steps are food trays.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Oh, really? They're just food trays. Oh, my gosh. These are great. Yeah, this Reddit is great. It really is, yeah. Oh, my gosh. I'm just going to, I mean, this is my new obsession.
Starting point is 00:32:20 It's like, oh, here's an old Nintendo controller. or here's a this is amazing this is really great TV remote control that they used in Doctor Who or this is so good
Starting point is 00:32:33 Battlestar Galactic are from 79 they've got a weird alien tree with fruit on it they're just water balloons full of water amazing that's amazing I mean that's what we would do right if we were making a movie
Starting point is 00:32:48 it's like well all right you know let's let spend money on that thing from you know that's going to be fairly noticeable in the background will, like, use a jart, like a, you know, a lawn dart. Yeah, I mean, I don't even know if we have lightsabers without them just jury-rigging pipes and stuff. That's true. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I love that stuff. Just a bunch of random crap glued to a pipe. Is it jury-rigging or Jerry-rigan? Oh, I don't know if I've said the right thing. I'm sure the chat will correct me.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Jury-rigan? Jury-rigging, I think. Jury-rigging, I think. That's what I thought. I always say jury-rigging. Is it Jerry-rigging? I'm having a, I'm having a crisis. If it's not, if it's not jury rigging, then unfriend me. That's right. Unfriend me, damn it. All right.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Well, there you go. That's all that she wrote for the text. If you want to send yours in, 801-471-0462, you can send them anytime, anywhere. Just kind of indicate that it's for TMS in some way. Usually you guys say, like, dear bibbit and scrippy or whatever you do. You can do that, and we'll know. That way we'll know. And we'll read them here on the show.
Starting point is 00:33:51 It's time for the news. it's the news and it's brought to you by a shout out to jim and robin jensen may today's surgery be quick and pain free yes so they're the nicest human beings ever they really are they came by the house yesterday while the baby was over and dropped off gift for kim and her birthday brought me some shirts for no reason i don't even need i don't even need shirts and now i love them they're great drop off shirts they gave me shirts basically is what they are for you i don't know why they thought of me in this way but i'm glad they did because i need a couple of them with the new shirts. They're perfect for winter. I love them. Anyway, they hung around for a while. We just talked and chatted and robbed and played with the baby and it was great. Anyway, today she has some surgery that should be quick in and out,
Starting point is 00:34:34 you know, same day stuff. Yep. So we just want them to know we're thinking about them and wish them the best as that all goes down. For sure. Absolutely. Brian, we got a student problem. A problem with the students. Oh, no. Don't somebody think of the students? Well, we're going to think of them right now. Fifty-five of them
Starting point is 00:34:52 in this regard may have to retake their SATs after they were lost in a UPS truck. Oh, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what you do. I don't know why you may, why are we mailing? I guess you...
Starting point is 00:35:06 Right, as there, could there be somebody on site who who approves those, please? Yeah, it's very weird to me, but whatever. It says, taking the SATs is a stressful anxiety inspired, inspiring right of passage for many high school students. my notable SAT experience was that I was doing terrible in grades at that time, but I freaking rocked the test.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Really? Killed it, which was typical for me because what I didn't like was busy work, homework, and sitting there. But I was smart. I got the shit in my head and I would take tests and ace all my tests. But I would just be bad at turning things in
Starting point is 00:35:45 or being on time or all this kind of thing. kind of a turd that way, but SATs, I think I was a 28th. So what happened to us, man? I know. Look at us now. Where did all that stuff go where we can't even pull Jaimon Hansu's name or Lawrence Fishburn's name out of, out of the air? What the heck happened to us? Age. All right. It says here, 50 students in El Paso have to take these tests again. Their tests were flew out of a UPS truck. Flew out. Yeah. That means they're back with. open and they probably didn't secure them or whatever. Aren't those always open?
Starting point is 00:36:22 They're always kind of open, right? The backs usually aren't, but the sides, I noticed that the Amazon delivery drivers in my area anyway, at least drive around with the side door open. And it's like, all right, I sure it saves you a lot of time, but doesn't stuff just fly out when you make a
Starting point is 00:36:39 left-hand turn? Yeah, yeah, that seems weird to me, but anyway, these papers flew out, they lost them. So now the Independent School District of El Paso tells CNN that they are currently working with the college board, which administers the SETs to determine a remedy for the students who tests were lost. They're going to have to retake them. That sucks. Yeah. Yeah, that does suck because those poor kids already had the stress of having to do it once. And it's like, oh, thank God,
Starting point is 00:37:04 that's over. And I think I did really well, but I can finally relax. Oh, you know, you're going to have to take that thing again. Yeah, plus some of those kids, the Sharpie, they used to cheat and right all over their arm. It's all worn off by now. That's right. Maybe they'll do better the second time. Maybe they've gone back and said, oh, yeah, shoot, I should have said blah, blah, blah, now they can get the chance. It says they got a statement from UPS, which had a big apology. It says, quote, our employees are working to recover as many of the tests as possible. Also, they might get some of them if they find them. They might, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:36 We did find a semi full of meat. Would that work? Throwback, everybody. Yesterday's show, throwback. If you're all listening, you know, you know. That's right. Now, who says there's no continuity in TMS, huh? Not us, not you, not ever.
Starting point is 00:37:51 It says, let's see, they're going to try to resolve it, said the company. The driver's actions in this case are not representative of the UPS protocols and methods, and we are addressing this with him. Well, I don't know if you want to throw him under the bus. Maybe the papers were badly, I don't know. I don't know. My brother's a UPS driver. I don't want to just, you know, throw shade on UPS guy.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Maybe he didn't do it. Maybe he's okay. Wait, but your brother's a UPS driver, and you're saying that those guys usually drive around with their backs open, Like the back doors open? Good point. Maybe I'm seeing a kink in the chain here. A kink in the chain.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Not a kink in the chain. A kink in the hose. A kink in the armor is the phrase. Oh, we're kink in the armor. Is it a kink in the armor or chink in the armor? Chink in the phrase. Which is my brother when he wears armor, right? Now that's a joke we can say because I grew up in a household where we called my brother
Starting point is 00:38:42 that word and it was an end term. Brian's out of this. You can say that. It was a term of endearment in our house until we got out of the house and heard mean people say it and then we realized, oh, that's not nice at all. If you're explaining you're losing,
Starting point is 00:39:00 trust me, I've done that my entire life and I have no shame in it. Matt would sit here right now with me and I'd go, Matt, how do you feel about your family calling you that? And you'd say, it's no big deal. I'd say, why do you feel about some stranger calling you that? And he goes, I beat him up, I beat him up, he'd say.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Yeah, yeah. Which he would do. He would kick their A. Watch out. My brother, he doesn't remember all the taekwondo that he was taught before he came here. But it's like in him a little bit. You know what? If he remembers enough of it, that should be just fine.
Starting point is 00:39:28 That's all you need, right? Just a tiny bit of Taekwondo. One or two things? You got me beat. It goes a long way, if I can say the word. I don't know how to say it. Anyway, so this is weird. And I hope those kids get to retake their tests in a way that makes sense or they find the shit.
Starting point is 00:39:44 All right. That's what we want. and if not then i hope those kids do better the second time yeah i always never hear that though you always hear when a kid retakes it usual punishment to make him do it twice you always hear when they take them again that they're lower though that's always the story oh really i mean that's what that's all i ever heard like kids in school they're like well i'm going to try to get better into 26 and then they come back with a 24 okay i don't know if that's going to be everybody but that's how it always felt so good luck i guess to all of you find young the future of our world
Starting point is 00:40:14 hangs in the balance as these kids get their tests done and go to college. Moving on to this story here. Yeah. I heard a big bang, says a man who wonders
Starting point is 00:40:24 if a meteorite destroyed his house. Oh, if I stay in a cheap hotel, I usually hear a big bang. Yeah, right next story. You ever had to call the front desk
Starting point is 00:40:34 and tell them a neighbor? I don't mean for that, but I mean like somebody in the hotel is too loud and you were like, can't sleep. No, actually, I never, oh, well, have I? I'm sure I have.
Starting point is 00:40:43 You know what? I've stayed in a lot of hotels, and I'm sure I've had to say, hey, could you call the people in the room next to us? That's usually a Tina thing. Like, Tina gets pissed off if somebody's walking down the hall past our room too loud. Tina has zero shits to give. She also has incredible hearing. She's like Kim.
Starting point is 00:41:02 They both have crazy hearing, and they can hear everything. She absolutely does. I don't think that's fair. You know, I'm usually, like, you know, if I can sleep, if I'm usually able to sleep through all that stuff, that's usually not going to be the thing that wakes me up, but I have had, I've had noisy people above me doing it.
Starting point is 00:41:21 But that was in an apartment. And then, you know, I just would see them later and be like, you guys are, you guys are nasty. Yeah. I'm calling you Mr. Mrs. Coitus. You guys are talkers, man. So do they, but in a hotel sense,
Starting point is 00:41:36 I feel like for me it's always somebody yelling at somebody. And it's always, it's always Vegas where this happens. But I always feel like somebody's screaming at somebody else. And I'm always like, all right, in the movies, somebody might even go down to their room, knock on the door and go, hey, we're trying to sleep up here. I would never do that. You get yourself killed. Yeah, exactly. I ain't doing that.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Yeah, and it's not like you can say, well, tell them anonymously that the person who, there's only one room that's adjacent to them because they're at the end of the hotel. Yeah. Tell them anonymously that there's making too much noise for the, for one of the people around them. Yeah. That whole thing is frustrating. Yeah, the crank, crank kids, I mean, that sucks because there's really nothing they can do about it. Yeah, that one, you just turn on some white nose and noise and hope for the best, you know. Just do what you can.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Well, anyway, this guy, Northern California, here's the deal. So Northern California officials are looking to see if a bright ball of green light seen in the sky. and Friday is a meteorite that landed and destroyed this dude's house. Oh, well, if it's not, then what else would it be? Then what was it? Yeah, alien laser, I don't know. Right. Witnesses came from all over the region following the path of the bright ball in the sky to see where it landed,
Starting point is 00:42:54 and that path led right to Dustin Procata's home. He was sitting inside the house with his two dogs when he said something hit his home and started a fire. He lives in a quiet rural area amongst rolling hills where cattle graze. Oh, this is nice. And the buffalo realm. Yeah. And the meteor's fall. He said the area in his home, or sorry, he said the area is home to multi-generational cattle farmers and ranchers.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Well, you've all of a sudden he's an Aryan. What? What? Wait a minute. He had just fed the cows and sat on the couch listening to music when it hit his home. Didn't say what music he was listening to. I'd like to think it was Egget Stage Right from Rush. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Okay. That's an interesting pull. Is that weirdly specific? I'm going to guess it's Jason L. Dean is what he was listening to. Oh, geez. All right. You might be closer to correct. Just trying to think who... It's what they listen to where the deer and the angelo play. I'm just trying...
Starting point is 00:43:52 I'm just trying to picture, like, if you're a dude, a kid of the 70s... I don't even know how old this guy is, isn't say. But for some reason, I just picture him being a guy who, like, loved Rush when he was a kid. And now he's listening to Rush with his dogs. I don't know. I don't know why. Anyway. Today's time.
Starting point is 00:44:11 So they saw this thing. The problem is it got real small by the time it hit ground. And so he thinks the fire. So what they saw in the sky was much bigger as it broke up in the atmosphere. And then when it hit his house, it was probably on the size of a cat or something. Sure. I don't know why I chose cat.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Whatever. Why is it? Yeah, why cat? Scott? Why couldn't you say basketball or football? I said cat. I mean, do we know that this guy just didn't accidentally burn down this house? say, oh, it was something that came from the skies insurance company. Please, believe me.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Hey, and now, see, look at Detective Ibit with the, with the new, the scheme. I like it. I like it. I like, no, I think you're right. I think you've got the, you've got the thing of it. I'm, you know, I'm Joe Skeptic here. It's like, uh, wait a minute. Yeah, Joseph P. Skept. Why did they have the camera rolling when that Costco truck hit that guy in the nuts? That's right. Hmm. You know what we should do when we talk about stuff like this. Meet the Defender. He says a meteor hit his house. He thinks a meteor hit his house and set it on fire.
Starting point is 00:45:18 The city claims. A little alien gave him a green ring. Oh, that music brings me back. It's so weird to play it. All right, there's that. How about this story? Lindy, you know, there are Lindel, is it? Lindel.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Well, there's Lint. There's Lint. Lent. Yeah. L-I-N-B-T and then L-N-R-L-L-L-I-D-L-L-L. Well, these guys make chocolate. This is the deal. They all make chocolate.
Starting point is 00:45:46 And Little was told to destroy golden chocolate bunnies after it lost a copyright case with Lint. I don't know why they just give this stuff away to charity or something. Why you get to ruin? Why destroy it? Yeah, exactly, you know. I understand. Like, we did the whole thing with the Target bikes some time ago. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:46:04 They throw away old bikes that didn't sell. And I'm like, dude. could have been, those could have been defective, though. I think somebody had came back, come back to us and said, well, they might have thrown those away because, you know, there were other issues or... Yeah, I guess it could have been a recall. There was some explanation that somebody came back to us.
Starting point is 00:46:21 I'm like, oh, that does kind of make sense. Yeah, but it was like a... It was like a terrible reason. It's a reason that made sense, but it was like a capitalist reason. It was like a... Right. Like, I can't remember what it was.
Starting point is 00:46:36 It was a liability thing? Is that what it is? Yeah, liability of lack of out of form models that people could have been bouncing up and down on and breaking and that sort of thing. That sucks, though. Yeah. Let's go back to the 80s and you can give shit away and not worry about it. But at least, you know, if it's a problem with these bunnies, it's like, no, you can't sell them because they're bunnies. We'll cut the ears off and call them gold chocolate cats.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Yeah. They're just cats with short ears. It's just cats. Or long-eared cats, if you cut them down, just call them cats. I agree. Everyone wants a chocolate cat. Who doesn't? It's not the size of a meteorite.
Starting point is 00:47:09 It sounds like there's hair in it. Anyway. A gold chocolate cat. So there was some copyright protection thing for a similar product is the whole thing. So the Swiss company, they had to give it up. Switzerland's largest court, highest court, in the land, agreed and overturned the ruling last year by the country's commercial court that had sided with little. Little. So this is interesting.
Starting point is 00:47:36 says destruction is proportionate, especially as it does not necessarily mean that the chocolate as such would have been destroyed. It said in the summary of its verdict. Yeah, so basically he says, oh, well, you know, melt the chocolate down, use it for other products. You don't have to destroy the bunnies.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Just melt them and make them into coins or whatever dumb thing. Chocolate people make. Did you like the chocolate coin as a kid? I used to think that was amazing. I love that. Yeah, you get the weird mesh grape bag of those little gold coins.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Yeah, those were great. Those were great. I don't know why. They were good. They were probably not good. They were probably terrible chocolate in there, but as a kid, you didn't care. It was a coin, man. And sometimes you get a little bit of the foil.
Starting point is 00:48:20 You forget to take it off there, and you get it like on a filling or something, and it would hurt. Yeah. But it would hurt so good, you know? I used to love those. Final story. This is a happy ending. I like those.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Yeah, he always liked those. Yeah, big fan of the happy ending, are you? Yep, sure. Miss Argentina and Miss Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico. Uh-huh. As a former president once coined. Puerto Rico.
Starting point is 00:48:53 There's some paper towels. There you go. Paper towel. Yeah, the paper towel thing must have worked, because you just don't hear about it anymore. It's all good down there. Yep. Let's see. Miss Puerto Rico and Miss Argentina revealed that they secretly got married.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Oh. Nice. If only other countries could come together like this. No kidding. No pun intended. Give peace a chance. That's right. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:49:17 No pen intended indeed. A pair of international pageant winners are showing love knows no boundaries. Miss Argentina of 2020. Malaria Valerina. It's Mariana. Marilla. She does not have the name of a disease. Look, it's just a bad fever.
Starting point is 00:49:37 We got shots for it now. 26 years old and Miss Puerto Rico, 2020, Fabiola Valentin. Hey, that one you nailed. I was ready for that one. She's 22. They wrote in an Instagram post. They got married October 28th
Starting point is 00:49:52 after having kept their relationship out of the public eye. Hmm. Aww. Let's see. After deciding to keep their relationship private, we opened the doors on a special day. 28, 10, 22.
Starting point is 00:50:04 couple wrote their message. Oh. It's adorable. It's, man, for two years, they've been keeping this thing a secret. It would have been much better if it's like at the end of the pageant, they kissed passionately and got married after the sash went to Miss Cambodia. That's right. Miss Cambodia. There she is.
Starting point is 00:50:25 That's right. A couple posted photos together in recent years, but not shared any info that they were dating. Everyone thought they were just pals that met on the circuit, you know? Nice. Yeah. Nope. They're married now, and they're lovely, lovely ladies. Oh, beautiful ladies. Isn't that how, let's see.
Starting point is 00:50:43 Reinhardt. What's the guy's name on The Simpsons, the guy that's like Arnold, but they call him something else. Reinhardt Wolfheart or? Rainhart Wolf Castle. Yeah, that's it. I love his thing where they're like, how do you sleep at night on a pile of, let's see, on a pile of money with many beautiful ladies, he says. I've been watching the Simpsons. A Rainier Wolf Castle. Rainier Wolf Castle.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Reinhardt has a shield. I still got it before anyone in the chat room post it. So there's, you know. Our brains are still capable. Credit for that. Yeah, our high SAT scores on display today. All right. That's right.
Starting point is 00:51:19 That's it for the news. And now we'll take a break. When we come back, Bill DeRan will be here. Let's see what's going on in the world of makers. Also a little bit of science with Bobby. I also have a question for him from one Syrinx in the chat room. So that's all coming up shortly. but I need a song to make it happen.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Yeah, let's go to Germany, yeah, to a band called the Espreys. And they're spelled like the old, the shirts that we bought in the 80s. Remember those shirts we bought in the 80s? Sure. S-P-R-I-T-S, the Espris. These guys are already, like, killing it in Germany. And now they're making their way to America with a feel-good energy bomb called White Shoes and the Walk. I like the song a lot.
Starting point is 00:52:03 The video is kind of, uh, eh, all right, this looks like some sort of weird Eurovision crazy pants thing. However, the song is great. Here are the Espris and White Shoes and the Walk. See ya. Can I escape you? I don't even try. I am addicted till the day that I die. You got me moving electrify
Starting point is 00:52:36 To sonic groove in my Valentine So how can the devil commit a crime If I was the devil, you would be mine Don't want to blame I don't want to play Just play again Don't want to play Hey a new game
Starting point is 00:53:11 Don't want to play To play again Don't want to play Play a game That's why Sound is all around Just sound is all around Babe
Starting point is 00:53:25 Lift the sound Sound is all around The song is all around Yeah Don't need religion Cause your beat is divine I hear you calling Your tune is my vibe
Starting point is 00:53:47 Souls revolting in paradise It's your decision by Valentine How could the devil commit a crime If I was the devil, you would be mine. Alright, let's do it. Wherever you are Wherever you are Wherever you are
Starting point is 00:54:38 Sound is all around Your sound is all around Yeah In the sound It's all around The sound is all around Hey, my sound is all around, just sound is all around, hey, wherever you're sound, it's all around, hey, wherever you are, wherever you are, a sound is all around, You sound is all around
Starting point is 00:55:19 You sound this all around Hey You know You know I sound This all around You know Riga, rha-i-tie-ta-e-a-e-ta-a-r-r-d-a-r-r-d-a-r-r-d-a-r-r-a-d-r-you- know.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Bitch, what? From corn. I never watch corn. Oh, no, that's the band, the band, she said I've never watched corn. I've never watched corn. You ain't that or that you take that right down now put it. I feel so much more social when I take these mushrooms.
Starting point is 00:56:20 You know, everyone talks about the William Shatner audio when he goes, oh, Jesus. but they never play all the rest of his audio from that flight. I know. It's because it turns out he's a corn fan and he doesn't want anyone to know. So you got to watch out. Brian, I need to know who that song was again. Oh, I'll tell you. That was the Espreys,
Starting point is 00:56:42 a brand new single that they've released called White Shoes and the Walk. Nice. No, that was not William Shatner, by the way, people. No, no, no. No, I was just... Let's not confuse things. Oh, Jesus.
Starting point is 00:56:53 That's William Shatner. This thing, So that, my understanding is that's somebody talking normal and doing corn impressions normal, but they're using a voice filter that makes them sound like a really like slow talking drunk dude. And so that whole conversation was converted and it just weirded me out and I thought, well, I'm going to use that. It's really weird. I don't know what to make of it, sir. I do not know. I like to use weird things. So that's what I did. Bill Duran incoming
Starting point is 00:57:24 as you may expect here but I got to remember how to spell punish props there we go on his way in here to talk cool stuff check it out your bat caves open there
Starting point is 00:57:36 Bill Duran joining us from the Pacific Northwest somewhere near Seattle I won't say quite where we're not going to docks him entirely but he's over there making cool stuff all the time and he comes on the show on Tuesdays and talks about making stuff
Starting point is 00:57:49 the world of makers that sort of thing Bill welcome back I'd like to formally announce that I'm retiring the Maker Life and I'm going to be an all-time Marvel Snap streamer. That's the only thing I do now. Fantastic. You know, if there's one way to get you off of grounded, it's to introduce an addictive card game into your life. Yeah, or satisfactory. Yeah, you want to quit playing other video games.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Play a card game. That's the way it works. Welcome to the party, pal. Yeah. You know, it's, it's, I'm glad it's doing as well as it's doing because it's the least predatorial card game on the market, digital card game. Yeah, and I like that. And it's just crazy fun. It's just super short games and it's really fun.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Yeah. But I am still making stuff. Oh, good. I have been distracted. Thank goodness. He's making a replica of Marvel Snap Physical Edition. There you go. What are you working on?
Starting point is 00:58:46 What's going on these days? Or like you might start making Marvel snap cards. It would actually be not, I mean, it would be a lot of stuff, but you can make that into a board game pretty quickly. Sure. Oh, yeah. Sure, sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Well, what is going on over there? What are you making now? So I've been working on this brass project, and I wanted to talk about brazing. You guys familiar with the method? Only when my burgers come to me from Dairy Queen, and they feel like they've been soaking and cooking in water. That's the only braising.
Starting point is 00:59:17 I was going to say that to me I think of meat when you say brazing so I'm not sure what to expect here So it's a method For attaching metal parts together It's kind of like welding but it's not Welding. Welding is very high temperature like mig welding
Starting point is 00:59:35 You take two pieces of steel You introduce some filler metal It melts both the base metal and the filler metal until it is all fused into one homogenous piece. That is is welding. We're not doing that. We are brazing. What you end up doing is you put two pieces of metal together and then the filler metal melts to fill in the joint, but it doesn't melt the base metal. It doesn't fuse it. It just acts like a cement that fills the joint. It's still
Starting point is 01:00:07 pretty strong, but it's not as strong as something like welding. However, it is very, very useful for a lot of different reasons. You just don't want to use it to, like, fix the rim of your car. You don't want to, nothing that is going to be under a lot of high temperature or high stress. Sure. But, again, lots of really great applications. Mostly, you can braze two different metals together. Like, normally you wouldn't be able to weld aluminum to steel, but you can braise them together.
Starting point is 01:00:39 So depending on the specific project you're doing or the needs you need of brazing, may be the solution for you. So it's not just like the equivalent of welding at all, though. I mean, if it was as simple as that, you could take a welding torch and bam, those two metals are together. But I don't, it doesn't work that way, right? That's correct. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 01:00:58 Look at me with my metal knowledge. My metallurgical knowledge is a nose no bounds now that I've talked to. So here's the process in a nutshell. You take the two parts that you want to stick together. You prepare them, clean them off. and then you find some way to hold them in their final position. You can't touch them. They're going to get really hot.
Starting point is 01:01:17 So usually little clamps or something to hold them in place. And then you put a little bit of flux on the joint. Flux is like a paste type stuff that you can brush on. And that prevents oxides from forming on the metal, which would prevent the join from happening. So you put a little flux on there. And then you heat up the parts, usually with a torch, especially if you're doing anything small like I've been doing. You use a little torch. when the parts are hot enough to melt
Starting point is 01:01:41 the filler metal, you just touch the filamental in there, and it melts into the joint. The flux helps it sort of wick in there with capillary action. It's really cool. If you've ever sweated copper pipes together, it's kind of that process, and it's
Starting point is 01:01:56 just, it's really neat. It's actually quite simple, and you don't need a ton of tools or materials to do it. You don't need to buy a welder. Just need to torch the filler material, and the flux. It sounds like hardcore soldering in a weird way. It kind of is, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Yeah, because you got the filler part, which, you know, is like your solder, and then you got the heat element thing, and then you got the other kind of metal you're trying to put together. So it's like, you know, solder's for the little kids. This is for men, you know? And it is quite a bit stronger than solder. Now, you could do the same thing with solder. In fact, for very, very small brass things,
Starting point is 01:02:35 I've used solder because it's all I have. I have just normal electronics solder. But there are more robust ways to do it. And I recently picked up some silver solder. Whoa. Which is, it's got silver in it, a bunch of other stuff. And that creates a much stronger bond than normal solder. So I'm going to be experimenting with that this week.
Starting point is 01:02:57 If you use silver solder to build a motherboard of a computer, would you, by doing so, would you limit the ability of, of werewolves to use your brand of a computer? I would certainly hope so. Okay, good. I'm going to have to remember that next time I build a computer. Perfect.
Starting point is 01:03:16 Well, that's cool. Are you going to, I assume you're going to chronicle some of this and do some footage? Yeah, definitely. This will be in our next... You should do this for the channel. Yeah. Well, I'll be using this to put together my arcane brass butterfly, so we'll definitely film all that. It'll be fun. Oh, right.
Starting point is 01:03:33 I was talking about the filler metals. So I've got the silver solder I'm going to be trying, but there are a lot of different types of filler metals depending on the type of metal you want to join. And of course, if you're going to give this a go, this is something you look up pretty quickly. You're like, oh, I want to stick two pieces of steel together. What sort of filler should I get?
Starting point is 01:03:51 Right. You can look that up. And then, like I said, for my brass project, silver solder seems like it'll be really good. Last week I showed you guys that video of Adam putting together a can, a watering can. This is exactly what he used to put it all together. Oh, cool.
Starting point is 01:04:06 Brazing with silver solder. Nice. And then, like I said, it can be useful for a lot of stuff. I'm using it, obviously, to make small metal sculptures. But it can be really good for repairing things like jewelry or metal eyeglasses, especially if they have like a metal frame that broke. You could totally braze those things back together. But really, any non-structural parts or repairs on metal that don't have too much
Starting point is 01:04:32 stress on them and won't get hot enough to melt. the filler metal. Quick question. Can you use, if you mentioned the solder, silver solder you're going to play around with and you mentioned these other type of metals and stuff, could you brazer solder with gold?
Starting point is 01:04:46 Is that even an option? I wonder. That sounds very expensive. I mean, it sounds expensive, but yeah, but let's say cost was no issue, and it was like as easy to get a silver,
Starting point is 01:04:55 copper, brass or whatever. I wonder what the product, because I was talking to my dentist the other day a couple days ago. And he was like, that tooth you got in your mouth will never go away.
Starting point is 01:05:05 you're going to always have that gold crown and it'll never be a problem it'll never have to be redone it's because it's so perfect for the human mouth as a replacement for your teeth it's just cosmetically no one likes it because it looks like big old gold bling in your face unless you want that of course um so i always wonder well is that true of gold and other applications could i take gold and make i mean i don't know how conductive it is maybe that's part of the problem is you don't see it in electronics because it's less conductive than whatever the hell they're using i don't I don't know. So there's my gold.
Starting point is 01:05:36 That's the golden question. Cost could be a factor as well. I did a quick search here. It does look like gold is used as a filler material. It's likely not solid gold. Right. It's likely that gold, just like silver solder is not solid silver. There is some silver mixed in.
Starting point is 01:05:53 But there is, I guess, some reason to have gold in there as well. Yeah. And it's just, it's soft and pliable compared to other metals. So maybe that's another reason why you wouldn't. Or in cases where you need the flexibility and less rigidity, Maybe that is a good reason to use it. I don't know. It would be.
Starting point is 01:06:07 Anyway, there's my fun gold tangent. Let's go back to what you were doing. Gold tangents. So you're going to do a video on this. I'm excited about it. This kind of stuff totally intrigues me. So I will keep my eyes out for it. Bill, you have anything else you want to mention this week?
Starting point is 01:06:21 I do, yeah. This is an older video from one of my favorite YouTube channels. The Craftsman, Steady Crafton. He did a video on silver soldering. And he does a lot of small jewelry-type projects, which is what this is perfect for. So if you want to learn about silver soldering, the Craftsman has a great video for you.
Starting point is 01:06:40 Oh, look at these little tiny things. Like little people. Yeah. Oh, these are great. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. This little key thing. Oh, look. I mean, think about it like you can just glue metal together
Starting point is 01:06:52 and then decide what you want to do with that. Once you realize that, the potential is pretty limitless. I want to make a little robot. Mm-hmm. Well, tell your friend, thanks. for that. Okay. You probably have a lot of scraps of metal stuff around your house. That would make a great robot. Probably would. Hey, I forgot to mention this. We got a text from a listener from
Starting point is 01:07:14 Jeannie who said, I want to add to this conversation about titanium because we talked about it last week. And we got way too many titanium questions and emails. I know. Like it really turned into the T and TMS for a while. It really was. Titanium morning stream. Anyway, another reason titanium is so widely used, says Jeannie, is for medical applications. It is not magnetic. This can be crucial when needing an MRI. Also, I guess, you don't want it to break down in the body when you have internal stuff. So, yeah, so like if you get a titanium rod in your knee, your back or something, those are the kind of people you also need to do follow-up MRIs with, like, down the road.
Starting point is 01:07:51 And you can't have metal that's magnetic or magnetically affected metal. And so there you go, another titanium deal. So there you go. Bill, with his titanium inspiration, it's just, One more up for titanium. I've never worked with titanium before. Probably pretty cool. Yeah, it would be cool.
Starting point is 01:08:10 You talked, I think I only came up in passing, too, because we were talking about Rod. You could buy your metal marketplace. You always buy all your metal from. And we're like, ooh, they have titanium. I think that was like the extent of it. And then suddenly the world wants to talk about titanium. So there you have it.
Starting point is 01:08:24 Well, damn. Anyway, build around, everybody. Now I go look up titanium. I kind of want to buy it. Yeah, see what we've done? This was all part of big titanium's plan to get you to buy. Buy more titanium. The whole thing was a smear, a sham.
Starting point is 01:08:37 It's just a... It's a way to push big titanium. Big titanium right down your throat. Hey, Bill, it's always good to have you on here. Of course, punishprops.com is the place to go or the YouTube channel or both. Why not both, I say? And you can see all the cool stuff he is working on and has worked on. If you're not already following or subscribing, it should be.
Starting point is 01:08:56 Bill, have a grand week. Thanks, guys. See you later. See you next time. Oh, he's just so pleasant there at the end. I know. That bill. Even the whole time, really, Scott.
Starting point is 01:09:08 It's true. It was never unpleasant. Never unpleasant. Nope. And I'll take that over unpleasant. Well, really, any day. Sure. Okay.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Here's some fun, everyone. Get put on your science hats. Science. That's right. It's time for some science. A little science with Bobby Frankenberger. You may know him as a co-host of a fine show called All Around Science. and he's also on the show quite a bit.
Starting point is 01:09:37 In fact, he'll be here tomorrow to guest host while Brian's out. And we'll have TV's Travis on Thursday. And, you know, a couple of our good buddies helping us out. But it's Tuesday, so it's time for science. Bobby, welcome to the show. Science us up. Yeah. Thanks. Wow. That was a lot of stuff.
Starting point is 01:09:55 That was a lot of stuff. But, you know, you're worth it. You're worth every penny that we don't pay you. Hey, welcome to the show. It's good to have you here. you know you come to us with science and knowledge and that's always good but before you lay it on us I have a question from Syrenx
Starting point is 01:10:10 in the chat room okay okay a good friend Syrenx good good pal Syrenx good guy he sent in this text and this text says hello we read earlier actually yeah it is oh that's true oh is this the same one oh it is the same oh never mind then hey Bobby I'll ask you the question of all the animals not currently represented in comic books okay so you got your Black Panthers and your Hawkman
Starting point is 01:10:32 and all that, is there an animal you would want to be associated with your superpowers in the Marvel or DC universe? Since we already answered, or actually lack of answered, you could maybe answer this. Platypus. Platypus man.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Platto man. Something like that. Who was the comedian that had a platypus man thing in the 80s? Wasn't there? I don't know. Let's find out. Catapus man. Tipus man. something oh there is yeah what was that guy's name oh it's a comedian it's a sitcom it says is that right oh is so that was like he parlayed into a sitcom like it was his maybe is his bit are you thinking
Starting point is 01:11:17 a richard jenny richard jenny that's exactly who i'm thinking that's who this is okay it's an american sitcom uPN back in the ninety five same year as voyager started uh comedian richard jenny television series based on the hour-long HBO special. He filmed a 92. It only lasted one season, total of 13 episodes. Had nothing to do with a superhero. It was just like his, there was some comparison of
Starting point is 01:11:43 of a platypus to a way he lived his life or something. Yeah. And he called himself Platypus. So I think maybe you're good. You could, there may be some confusion. statute of limitations has run out, so Platypus Man is all yours. Yeah, you can have it, Bobby.
Starting point is 01:11:56 You'll let us know when you go to town on this and make it happen or what you're gonna i will you'll be the first to hear about it okay well we appreciate that um and thank you serenix for your thing that i read twice today all right let's get to uh let's get to get to whatever science you've brought how's we all survived the meteor by the way i don't know if you noticed oh it didn't kill us or did you well yeah right this all could be maybe you're living on a in a simulation in a computer somewhere there are times i wonder but uh yeah yeah no That thing just went right by us, right? Nothing.
Starting point is 01:12:30 No residuals. I felt the breeze as it went by. Yeah. Just kind of scoched on past us. It was going by pretty hot. That's why the warm weather here happened. Why is it so cold here, though? See, now there's a conspiracy.
Starting point is 01:12:47 Well, the cold weather, as you know, the cold weather, the weather always moves from your side of the country to ours. So we're getting cold weather, I think, this weekend. That's true. We have rain turning into snow, and then this weekend it's supposed to be the high of 39, low of 20, something. Which will be nice for me at the end of the week, beginning of next week, because I've got some flying lessons lined up in cold weather is better for flying. Is it? Did you know that? No.
Starting point is 01:13:19 Hold on a minute. So you're telling me, because we're expecting, like, stormy week next week, and I go to Texas for a couple of days. and the forecast is kind of nasty. Are you telling me we're going to have a better time because there's cold air? You're going to be flying where you're going? Texas, yeah. Well, it doesn't really matter when you fly on airliners because they all fly above the weather anyway. Oh, that's true.
Starting point is 01:13:44 But is the cold weather good for you while you're climbing? You know? I guess. What kind of science expert is this? We need a science. Check on aisle for. You want to be our airplane guy. So strictly, technically speaking, yeah, it'll be better for the climb, but you're going to be at that low altitude for such a little amount of time that it's not going to make that much of an impact.
Starting point is 01:14:13 Sure. No, that's a good point. Well, I wish you the best as you climb those friendly skies and all that. But that's not what you brought today for science. What did you bring? but talking about you want to talk about spiders let's talk about spiders okay Brian you like spiders right
Starting point is 01:14:27 I hate spiders with a passion so this is great well this is great because I'm going to tell you all about how spiders are smarter than you think they are okay oh shit okay how smart are they they don't run when my foot's over them well we're talking about black widows today can't be that smart if they're not running from Brian's foot how smart
Starting point is 01:14:46 can they be yeah how smart could they be yeah you're cape in my house so a lot of small creatures like insects, arachnids, they don't have very big brains, right? Because how could they? Right. I mean, just
Starting point is 01:15:00 look at them. They're just these little tiny guys. How big could that brain be? How big could their brain really be? Yeah. Yeah, really. Really? And so how do they accomplish complex tasks, right? Like ants and spiders, they build very complex things, webs,
Starting point is 01:15:18 entire ant colonies. They organize themselves when you have like like bees and and ants they organize themselves really really well how do they how how do they accomplish those types of tasks right it's an interesting question to think about and the typical explanation is that they do it through sort of like algorithmic processes in the brain right like it's it's it seems complex but it's not as complex as it might seem because it's really just a simple set of rules and stimulus response right like something happens and you just respond to it. And if you have a bunch of ants and they're all doing this, it can create sort of
Starting point is 01:15:55 like emergent behavior out of a bunch of things doing this. Right, right. Spiders, you know, they might catch and capture prey. But really, are they just, aren't they just sitting on the edge of their web and just responding to a vibration and then they jump to action and then just do what they're pre-programmed to do? There's no thought there. They just do it. It feels instinctual. It feels like, I don't know, when your dog's ears perk up because they hurt a cat or something. It's just what they do. Right, right.
Starting point is 01:16:25 They can't, it's just pre-wired programming in the brain and there's not like complex thought that is being involved. No higher level cognitive problem. That's what we've all thought, right? That's what we've assumed. But I have feeling you're about to break a plate over our heads. It feels like there's a butt. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:42 Well, the scientists don't ever like to just sit by and say, oh, that's what it looks like. okay, well, then we're done. Just file that one away. So there's this scientist. His name's Clint Sergi at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, and he just published some results of experiments that he did testing the memories of Black Widow spiders.
Starting point is 01:17:05 And it turns out that they may have greater cognitive functioning than you might think, at least in terms of memory. I mean, they're pretty good at calming the Hulk down. I've seen that before. Black Widow. Yes, they are. They can at least remember songs. Big fella.
Starting point is 01:17:20 Big fella. Calm down there, buddy. Yeah. They can remember sequences of phrases. You're right. Yeah. They're really good at saying, I don't, they're good at detecting when something's not a party. When something feels like a party or not.
Starting point is 01:17:35 Yeah. Whether it's a party or not, she'll know, you know. Are there, by the way, are there male? I've never asked this. Yeah, there are male black widows. Yes. But they don't have the huge butt and the nice, big, similar. in that, right?
Starting point is 01:17:48 Yep, they're brown. They're bulbous, but they're brown, and they don't have the hourglass. And plus she eats. And they're not as poisonous, right? Isn't that the deal? I think so. I'm certainly no Black Widow expert,
Starting point is 01:17:59 but I do remember reading one time that a lot of the myths that we have, and I say myths, but a lot of the ideas we have about Black Widow spiders are actually not totally true. Like how they all eat the male after mating.
Starting point is 01:18:17 Apparently, that's not. always true and that they're super deadly apparently they're not all that deadly they've definitely hurt and you probably need to see someone about getting bitten by one but this is totally an aside I guess but apparently apparently all the data that was collected about you know you get bit by a black widow and then you're going to die very quickly because they're very poisonous very venomous. Apparently after a review of that was done, that was all
Starting point is 01:18:48 the result of the people who were getting bit by, like, apparently black widow spiders don't like to bite people. Okay. They just want to stay away. They don't like to bite people. And they only bite when they feel like they're cornered or threatened and have no other
Starting point is 01:19:06 recourse, right? Okay. And where they like to hang out is like dark, dank, places. Wood piles, uh, garages, uh, underneath that city rack right there, or inside the, uh, the, the business zone of an outhouse. Oh gosh. So apparently, business zone, apparently the people who would get bit by black, apparently the people who would get bit by black widow spiders are, are guys who were going to the bathroom and they'd get bit on their junk
Starting point is 01:19:42 and there would be a lot of blood flow apparently which would spread the venom quickly to the rest of their body and that's why all the data and statistics were that if you got bit by a black road of spider you die but
Starting point is 01:19:58 there are so many more cases of people just being bitten like on the arm in like normal circumstances and they don't die yeah some of them get powers and beat Dr. Octopus. That's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:15 I don't know what kind of spider. Do we know what kind of spider, Brian? No, Spider-Man got bit by? Do we? Oh, yeah, no. I'm sure at one point during the lore, they probably said what kind of spider it was. But he definitely was not a black widow or, you know,
Starting point is 01:20:29 probably just your, what they probably referred to as just a generic house spider or laboratory spider or something. A lab spider. You know, the famous lab spiders. Yeah, you know, lab spiders. sure so back to black widows in memory sure um so it's been known for a while that that black widows can actually remember when they've caught prey um that was already known that what it would it'll it'll catch
Starting point is 01:20:54 its prey you know it wraps it up in webbing and it'll come back for it sometime after but um they it's been known that that they can remember that and it makes sense right because a black widow you don't it takes energy to go after and capture prey. So it benefits a species. It benefits the spider to be able to remember, oh, I've recently caught some prey. I don't need to do that again for some time, right? Or at least I've caught a certain amount of prey. I don't need to do that for some time because I've got enough to survive right now. Sure. What Clint Sergi wanted to know was how detailed is their memory? You know, how, can they build mental representations of their webs, for example?
Starting point is 01:21:44 Like, they build the web, but do they know, do they have like a mental picture in their mind of what the web looks like. Oh, I'm going to build the web like the same web I built a few days ago because that worked out really well. Yeah, that's what I wonder. Or even more so, can they remember, oh, I built the, I built the den over here. And I built the The game room is over here The foyer is over here Yeah
Starting point is 01:22:14 That's where the bugs can So hold on a second Remember that old thing Where they gave cocaine to spiders and stuff And then their webs were all jacked up Oh and had them Yeah right Doesn't that lead them
Starting point is 01:22:24 Doesn't that indicate That they do in a way Have something set in their head And we're altering it by introducing cocaine No because you can just Yeah well sure But all that that really shows us. If you just, I don't know the details about that, those experiments, but if we're just using
Starting point is 01:22:42 the images of the webs as of the data that was collected, then that could imply that they're just the, that the drugs are just affecting the way that they move around. Right, right, right, right. You don't, you don't really know what that means unless you do some more detailed experience. And I'm sure more detailed experimentation has been done. I just don't know what it was. But this one, like I said, Sergey wanted to know. No, does a spider have some sort of detailed memory of what's going on in their web and what's going on with prey that they catch? So what it would do is he would present blackwood of spiders with dead insects in their prey and then they'd take them away. They'd go and they'd wrap up the dead insects and leave them there.
Starting point is 01:23:28 And then what he would do is after they wrapped up the dead insect, he would then snip it off the web and take it away. okay um so so you know the spider has gone has quote unquote captured their prey and and then it's gone you want to go do some runs some other errand yeah yeah exactly went to go pay the bills or something like that and then now it's coming back for lunchtime does what does the spider do does the spider go back to the same place where does he put up his two front legs and go what It turned its little head back and forth a few times. Yeah, scratch its chin. It's blackwood spider chin.
Starting point is 01:24:12 Top of its head. So what he found was that, yes, the spiders would go back, the blackwood of spiders would go back to the part of the web where it caught the prey. It wouldn't just, it's not like the spider's just doing a, because one thing you could think is maybe the spider's just very, like part of its behavior is it remembers that it caught prey and To find it later, it just does a systematic search of the web until it comes across it, right? That would be a way to find the food that you caught without having to remember where it was on the web. But he found that the spiders would go back to the specific location where the prey was captured. So that's very interesting. Also, even more than that, when it would catch multiple prey, like when Syria would offer multiple prey, some insects were bigger than the others.
Starting point is 01:25:05 the Black Widow spiders would spend more time looking around because it would go back to where it was and it would in a sense scratch its head and look around Brian because it would spend time like looking around in that area like where is it? Did it wiggle its way around to the other side of the web or down further or just in the general area it would look around to see if it was there and it would spend more time looking around to see if it could find bigger. insects that it had caught so the bigger the insect was that is now missing the longer the blackwood of spider would spend looking for it as if it's like more concerned about that missing
Starting point is 01:25:47 meal right interesting so that's that's really interesting so you might wonder like who cares that we know this about spiders now but the interesting thing is that it wasn't it's always been thought that nonvertebrate animals you know what a vertebrate is
Starting point is 01:26:05 Yeah, like a vertebrate is Me and you We got vertebrae Non-vertebrate would be like Jellyfish Jellyfish, yeah, it's good one Snails Yeah, exactly
Starting point is 01:26:16 It's a backbone, right? A vertebrate animal has a backbone And spiders are made of goo Like crabs, beetles and crabs They've got goo in there that holds it all together So like, you know, right? Am I have that right? That's non-vertebrate
Starting point is 01:26:30 So skeleton. Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. insects and and arachnids are non-verte they're invertebrates so they're not vertebrates like this but it's always been thought that vertebrate animals were the ones that had complex cognitive abilities and invertebrates didn't and this implies that that may not be necessarily true and and helps to kind of further our our nuance understanding of of how other animals are able to think and how their brains work and how different kinds of brains can work because their brains are very different than ours and stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:27:10 Sure, sure. Well, that's fascinating stuff. I don't know why spiders as much as I disagree with where they are all the time. They fascinate me as a... You disagree with where they are. Yeah, I don't like it.
Starting point is 01:27:23 I don't agree with you being in the living room. Have you tried having a discussion with the spider's... You know, really, if I just talk to... I'll never remember that we've talked about it. Yeah. If I could just take a second and talk about, talk to him and let them know I'm with them. I'm here too.
Starting point is 01:27:40 We went over this yesterday. I moved your food. Yeah. You're outside now. Apparently I just need to give them caffeine. My gosh, dude. Apparently so, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:49 This is even a worse one I found. Look at this thing. I'll put it in the Discord. You guys can see it. But it's like freaking, I mean, it sounds like the worst thing to give a spider is caffeine. Look at that. Oh, wow. It basically turns spiders.
Starting point is 01:28:01 into Halloween monsters is what it does. Right. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Because that's how we put fake webbing around on Halloween. Anyway, it's fascinating stuff. Bobby, as always, love having you on talking about these weird things and hope for more. In the meantime, you've got a show that you do about science. What's going on on that thing and what's going? Yeah. Our science show that me and my co-host, Mora, do is all around science. And we just had an episode that came out yesterday that talks about antibiotics and antibiotic resistance because that's a big problem
Starting point is 01:28:36 that scientists been talking about for a while. And so we dug a little bit into it of what causes antibiotic resistance and what really is the problem. So we talked about that. Nice. So yeah, check it out.
Starting point is 01:28:51 All around science, we just talk about science stuff every week. And it's wherever you get your podcast. Wherever you do that, whatever it is. Yeah, every, everywhere. Yeah. It'll be the featured number one show on every service. Splunker or? It will be if you make it happen. Audio. Remember audio?

Um, Miss Jack. Oh, Jack. Do we get Jack back? He had an argument with Musk on Twitter yesterday. Really? Yeah. It was like this argument about some feature they use, and he was like, we're renaming it. And he was like, I think that name's good.

All right, check this out. We got a few things coming up. Today at 3.30 Mountain Time play retro. We're talking about the early 8-bit and 16.

Like, I'm not a big wrestling guy, but I love the games. And we'll talk about why that is. Like, why is it the games are cool to me, but the actual sport is not that big a deal. It's real to me, damn it. It's real to me. Anyway, there's also a brand new diary going up today. And I wanted to just tease a little bit, something coming up Friday. I'm going to be sitting down with the great Chris Metson. for a long conversation. Probably put that on a few of the feeds

Starting point is 01:31:42 I can't even remember my own damn pick. I know. But I love that music back in the day. It was an early 90s thing. Can't think of the guy's name. Anyway, it's good. And so are all the other episodes of that show, so do check it out.

Starting point is 01:32:45 Like, all caps. So that should give you an idea who it came from. It says, hi, shite, and bastard. It's just over four months since I was kindly freed from my cheating C. Bleep, uh, X. I'm not going to say that word, but it begins with a C. You might be able to guess what it is. It's also four months since I put an offer to buy my first house.
Starting point is 01:33:05 Well, four months later, and today, if all goes well, I'll be moving into my house that I bought all by my damn self. But before I kick that twat to the curb, I told him I'm taking the dog dumbass. So me, my hairy weaner, forest, and my vibrators could live happily ever after together. Hey, we're now entering the NSFW portion of TMS. If you're at work, here, welcome to Clairetown. That's right. Oh, that's true. In Ireland, it's pronounced twat, not twat.
Starting point is 01:33:35 Oh, thank you. Here in the U.S., it's pronounced twat, just to let you know. Yeah, yeah. I've supplied some suggestions you can pick a cover of or just play something that's about boss-ass bitches that don't need no men or about moving on to greater things that I can listen to while unpacking. Love the show, though. Claire. P.S., just play me all the S's and Fs you have. Wait, wait.
Starting point is 01:33:57 I'm sorry what you just heard was give me a lot of S's and Fs. What I said was, give me all the S's and Fs you have. Wow. Do you understand? Yeah. We do get it. We get it. We do get it.
Starting point is 01:34:06 So one of the songs that Claire put on our list was a cover of Alonis Moress, you ought to know. And I have a version by the Dan Band that does seem to have all the S's and Fs in it that you could possibly want. However, it ends abruptly because they fade, like Dan Band usually, Dan Band usually does. they go into another song really quickly. And it's really short. It's like a minute long. So rather than that, let's go to a geek troubadour, someone I consider a friend and who came and performed at my concert way back low so many years ago back in 2008. In August 2008 at the Bally Casino Hotel in Las Vegas, I was joined on stage by one Jonathan Colton, who also does his own version of Alonis Morissettes.
Starting point is 01:34:54 you ought to know, making him one of two performers on stage that day who do covers of this very song, oddly enough. Oh, weird. Was the other one, uh, spitting? Richard. Cheese also does a cover of you ought to know. Okay. So no cameras and spit, uh, did also. No cameras and spit. This version spit, uh, you know, camera all you want. Share this on social media. Talked about how much you love it because Jonathan Colton understands social media. Uh, this is one that he didn't release on one of his thing a weeks. He just recorded it and released it. And it's got a couple of the The swears in it. Here is Jonathan Colton
Starting point is 01:35:27 And his version of You O'Don Know. See you guys. Tomorrow. I want you to know that I'm happy for you. I wish nothing but the best for you.
Starting point is 01:35:53 an older version of me does she perverted like me would she go down on you in a theater does she speak eloquently and would she have your baby I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother because the law that you gave that we made wasn't able to make it enough for her to be open wide

Starting point is 01:37:09 Things look peaceful I'm not quite as well I thought you should know Did you forget about me, Mr. Duplicity? I hate to buck you in the middle of dinner. It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced. And are you thinking of me when you fuck her? Because the love that you gave that we made was unable to make it enough for you to be open wide.
Starting point is 01:37:53 And every time you speak her name Does you know how you told me you're holy Until you died Till you died But you're still alive And I'm here To remind you Of the mess you left
