Good morning and welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for November 29th, 2022. I'm Scott Johnson. and that's Brian Ibbett. Good morning. Hello. Hi, and welcome to the 29th of November. Brian, bring a little color to the show. I've got, like, the most gray-ass, gray clothes on today.

And it's snowed, and it's like 12 degrees, and it sucks. What we got, yeah, it's 16 here, and snow coming down, like crazy, actually. Yeah. Yeah, Kim was out. Oh, by the way, it's Kim's birthday. I want you to do something, chat room. Oh, that's right. Yeah, we got to do, we got a lavish.

her with praise. Yes. Overwhelm her Facebook page. She doesn't really do Twitter or anything, so lucky her. Smart woman. Lavish her with praise or whatever, well wishes over on her Facebook page. Just bury her freaking page. Okay, that's the goal today. It's Kim Sohn's Johnson if you're trying to search

for it. And yeah, just bury her in it. I just want her to be embarrassed by it all. Okay, she's just go nuts. She's out with her sister right now for breakfast and then later She's got a thing with a bunch of friends And she had another one last night And she barely made it home Because the snow was so bad It was like freaking blizzard conditions

But she made it All the while I'm sitting here with the dogs thinking I might be a widower tonight If this snow keeps up This is so bad It was so bad here Snowed like a butthole dude Like a like a butthole

That's not the kind of snow I want to be out in No No avoid that snow At all costs Hey we're doing a show We got stuff We have things today

and we're going to get to all of it. Don't distract me while I'm writing a post to your wife, okay? Come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, hey, look, I'm not here to distract anybody. Go do it, everybody. Go nuts. All right, snowstorm.

Yes. Snowstorm 2022. It was bad. Look, I knew it was coming. You know, this is the time of the year. We're supposed to be getting, you know, finally getting some meaningful, lasting snow. Yeah.

But now I'd like to take it back. I'd like to go back to what it was before. And, you know, might have that. I mean, I love that we get all the seasons here. I really truly do. I love that. I love the hot summers and the cold winters and all that. But every time I think, oh, I'm excited.

It's Christmas time. Get a cozy in with some hot soup and some, you know, warm house while there's raging snow outside. That all sounds great until you get it. And then you're like, oh, right, I got to take the dogs out and pooping this. I got to, you know, clean the driveway. You're picking up your pooping this is like, you know, because sometimes it just, they poop it. It goes right into a little. poop-shaped hole that moved to in the snow.

Yeah, and if you miss one, it's spring when you'll be getting that out. It's compost, baby. Yeah, I, you know, my, I don't mind the snow. It's very pretty, but I hate driving in it. But the good news about that is, I still don't have my car. Oh, I was going to, I meant to yesterday. Welcome to week three of Brian Has No Soul. How is this possible?

I don't get it. I've never heard a car take us long. Apparently, you know, we're living in a G. graphical anomaly where there were a hundred miles from the nearest Kia part. No kidding. Geez. Do they have to import some crazy part or something? Is that what happened?

No, I don't know what the deal is. I mean, obviously part of this was Thanksgiving, but still it's just insane that a repair can take this long. And we're still waiting to hear back from Kia themselves on if we're making Mexican. go pay for it, basically. Yeah, no kidding. We're going to Bill Bride's engine and we're going to make Kia pay for it, everybody. So the same people that have it right now, they're just waiting for parts?

Is that the deal? Yeah, yeah. Okay. And when I talked to him, I did call him this morning. I gave him a whole week of me not calling him. Yeah. You know, Mr. Nonsensical nine-word reply. I called him today and said, hey, just wanted to check in on things.

He's like, oh, yeah, let me go and check. can see if your parts have come in and and I'll get back to you at some point today. He told you that this morning. Told me that this morning. Do you feel good about your chances of hearing back? Do you think you're going to hear back from that guy? No, they don't have a great

track record for communication. I was afraid you'd say that. It's, you know, it's, I swear to God. Talk about, here is a business right here that does not make the customer feel like they're valued. Like, I feel like I have to do all the work. Yeah. And you're talking about,

all Kia and talk to Kia about paying for it. I have to ask him to order the parts. I have to like what what exactly do you do? Yeah. Kia repair guy. Yeah. And by the way, so I was doing a little bit of history here and there. And I was doing some stuff about reading about the year, specifically the year 1942. And something that jumped out at me was that they were trying to keep inflation low while they were trying to ramp up the war machine after Pearl Harbor. And part of the discussion was they had to the the the u.s had a guy entirely in charge of price control in the country the president basically established a position in the executive branch for a guy who just basically his whole job was to keep companies from gouging and so one of the things

they locked in was a ford back then the particular popular family sedan Ford was 500 bucks and they didn't want it to go higher than that. That was the cap. And that was still pretty good money back then. But, you know, in terms of inflation, it's insanely low. What is that now in inflation terms? But the more I was thinking about it is, anyway, the reason this connects to what you're talking about is

you're talking about potentially $6,500. Yeah. Which is, what is this, 12.5 Ford's in 1942. Right, pretty much, yeah, exactly. and a half cars or something and um right and and the fact that they're not being like i feel like that number 6500 yeah is a big enough number that no matter who you are as a company that should represent the highest levels of customer service i agree exactly like whether whether i'm paying them $6500 or kianz up paying them $6500 that should be a freaking priority yeah that should you know

yeah that's uh uh uh the amount of time they've had it and as as a bunch of people in the chat room have pointed out they should have offered me a loner yeah 100% that part surprised me a little bit yeah they didn't get that but like you know i 6500 dollars it's a lot it isn't like brian's going oh we have to wait for a a gas cap to come in that's costing me eight dollars exactly no it's almost seven thousand dollars i mean i know and the the stress like this is this is basically I'm on week, week, week three of not having a car, but week two of having this, you know, job of the hut size bounty on my head that I have to find out if, you know, who's going to shoot first in the foundation Kia dealership window. Dang, it's really rough. But anyway, I hope they call you back today.

Give you some news. That'd be nice. I hope so, too. I was thinking, too, about, so Kim's already, came well into her stupid holiday fucking. Hallmarkathon? Yeah. Turns out Paramount Plus has it. No, no. Is it Peacock? One of those two. One of the two peas has a ton of that stuff.

Has she, so there's a new one with Lindsay Lohan. She hasn't seen it yet, no. Okay. And then there's another one with Justin Hartley or what's the guy's name from This Is Us? Oh, I don't know. The handsome guy that Tina has a little crush on. he's got his own deal I mean it's starting to become Bob Hartley

Bob Hartley That can't be it The one she wants to see She wants to see this Kelsey Grammer one that's coming out Oh really Yeah where it's basically Toss salad and scrambled eggs for Christmas Is what it's called

I wish it's more like It's more like It's more like Oh gosh What was a Oh it's like Scrooge kind of He's like a fancy businessman Then he's to learn the real

meeting of Christmas. It sounds like shit, but I'm noticing this trend toward mainstream actors and others like, hey, I'll do this once. I'll come make one of these. I know the money must be good, right? It's got to be. It's weird. It's very weird. I mean, you know, this doesn't lend credence to why Lindsay Lohan's doing one because, you know, what's going on with her lately. How she doing? I hope she's doing okay. I hope she's doing okay too. And she, you know, by all accounts, and I still need to see it. I need to put on my list that her performance in that Lake will be gone

Oh, she is good in that. That's what I hear. Yeah, that's a good movie. That's a, that was a Robert Altman joint before he died. Yeah. Robert Altman? Is that name right? Robert Alman. I think so. The guy, the player and shortcuts and

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's good at this huge ensemble stuff and that was a very good version of that. I liked it. Yeah. Yeah. It's no Popeye, but No, but what is? Yeah, really what is. At the end of the day, what is? Anyway, so it got me to think.

Hey, Shelly DeVall. You were great in the shunning. Can we give you olive oil as your next role, please? Exactly. Now, here's the thing I don't understand. I'm watching this thing on, or she's watching some, you know, girl from the big city is now stuck in a town

and falls in love with the candy store owner or whatever it is. So that's all going on. And then there are commercials. And I'm like, wait a minute. I pay for, I pay for peacock. Plus, not Freecock, which gives you the commercials. So I'm all annoyed. I'm like, why are they're commercials?

She says, well, I thought that's just how this thing was. I don't know why, but apparently all those Hallmark things have commercials in them. Even if you pay for full Peacock. Really? Yeah. Peacock Plus or whatever. That's insane. It's all plus now, right? There's premium, so there's, oh, so okay, there's, there's, here's the deal. Peacock free.

Frecock, right, freecock. Then there's premium. And then there's premium plus. Oh, what is that? $4.99 gets you premium. Yeah. Which is 80,000 hours of great entertainment all in one place, tons of hit shows and originals, new and hit films, live sports and events,

$4.99 a month or premium plus, no ads. $9.99 a month. So for additional $5, no ads and download. Okay, I'll have to check because I thought I was paying for the higher tier, but maybe I'm not. I might not pay because I don't value, I hardly ever go to Peacock, ever. Yeah. I just don't go there.

Like, I do more on Paramount than I do Peacock and not even... I know, because it feels like everything, uh, everything you'd want from Peacock. I think you can get from like Hulu and stuff if you have a lot of it, right? Like SNL comes on the next day on both services. So it's like, I think that might be, oh, I take that back. Quantum Leap, that's right. We do watch Quantum Leap on Peacock. Yeah.

Well, commercial, I guess I have commercial cock. and that's it's going great it's going great really enjoying it anyway so what this got me thinking I was sitting there and I thought you know what I liked more than this one I said to my wife I says I said you know what I like more than this was that

Guardians of the Galaxy holiday special I like that better than this and then I kept saying it every time a new one to come on I'd say the same thing and it was just to annoy her but it got me to thinking what other things would be fun to do this treatment for

and they don't have to all be nerd stuff although maybe those fit well but like uh yeah i would like i would watch a fury road holiday special just like a one-off stupid thing out of canon or in canon i don't care sure just a dumb half hour to a 45 minute tv thing just a little bit like what they did with guardians morton in morton joe has lost the christmas spirit yeah there you go there you go it's exactly right Nux is like, poor Jacob, or no, Jacob Morley, who worked for him? Who worked for Scrooge? Yeah, wasn't it Jacob Marley? No, Marley's the old dead guy ghost.

Yeah, and I thought that he used to work with Scrooge, no? Yeah, oh, he did. Oh, Bob Cratchett, the current. Bob Cratchett, current guy, there you go. He's the one, so he'd be Nux because he'd be scurrying around trying to do everything Mr. Scrooge wants him to do. You got the, it's all, it's written for you, it's done. Perfect.

Yeah, well done. To call George Miller, I have a beautiful idea for him. If you could take a thing that you like a lot, Brian. Yeah. It can be more Marvel stuff even. Obviously, you know, I'd love a Spice Girls Variety Hour that were they saying nothing but Christmas carols without posh? They basically just have, maybe just have posh sipping cocoa on a white leather couch in the back

and have the other four of them joined by new Spice Girls. Oh, yeah, who do we put in? Redney Wolf. That's good. I don't know if she's British, though. No, it's got to be like... Well, it has to be British, yeah. She has to be British.

Who am I liking lately? Churches? Churches lead singer. Is she British? I like Cherverches, and that singer's cool. Are British, I think. I think they are. I think so. Okay.

I'm checking the guy, look, because I'm curious. Do something wild getting like Judy Dentch or something in there, you know? Oh, they could, you've got it right there. Special guests line up, and every song has a new spice girl joining them. Yeah, I'm in on this. I think it's a great idea. Speaking of Judy Dench, what did I just see her in that was like a weird cameo? It wasn't the holiday special, wasn't no, something else.

Oh, no, it was, it's the new Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell thing. Oh, right, the spirited. Yeah, Judy Dench has a very brief cameo, and it's awesome. the way they do it. Cool. Yeah, we were going to watch that over the weekend, and we did not. You should. It's good.

It's very good. Before the holiday, just before Christmas sometime, if you get a chance. I thought it was way better than it should have been. What about other Marvel stuff? Like, could you, could they, I mean, the ultimate like. It feels like Ms. Marvel. Oh, yes, Ms. Marvel wouldn't be. It would be like.

Oh, yeah, they'd be Ramadan or whatever. Ramadan, yeah. Let's see, a Wakanda Christmas. I like that. that one. It works for almost all of them. It really does. I mean,

you could easily do, because it's basically the same kind of thing, right? It's character X has lost their Christmas spirit, or the members of this team decide to put on a Christmas play or... Yeah. You know what you could do.

Just redo another Star Wars one. Let's get back to the original. You could. Yeah, exactly. And especially since Disney has fully leaned into the whole Life Day thing. For a while, it was like, oh, no, sorry, that's not canon. No, we don't do that.

But apparently, like, Life Day at Disneyland, people walking around in big red robes, and they're selling the robes at Disneyland and selling the orbs and all that stuff they have fully leaned in at Black Spire Outpost. Yeah, there's money to be made, so embrace Life Day, I say. Yeah, exactly. Get those wookies what they want.

I'm going to be using the tenderest cut of the banther, the loin. Yeah, remember that? Oh, I do remember that. That's not Harvey Corman right there. Harvey Corman, yeah, that's right. Sped up Harvey Corman at 1.25 speed on Downcast. That's what that is. Bring that back.

All right, there's that. Hey, I saw some pictures of you yesterday making something that looked big, not so small. No, no, no. Wait, what? I don't know. I'm not doing it right. But you look like you were making homemade shit. Way to do my joke that I wrote and I got to learn not to do that.

Yeah, it's a pretty good joke. But what did you? What did you, I mean, I can't believe you made that. That looked amazing, and I'd like to eat it. Yeah, it's called honeycomb, and we've been seeing people make honeycomb on British bakeoff for years. For season after season, somebody's like, I've decided to do a cake, but also make the bottom layer crushed honeycomb. And it is relatively easy to make. It's like a lot of, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, okay, it's 300 degrees.

Now you have eight things to do all at once. It's basically honey, sugar, or sugar and corn syrup and water, and you cook it until it starts to caramelize. And then you, as soon as it gets to 300 degrees, and you have a little candy thermometer sitting in there letting you know as soon as it gets to 300 degrees. Then you take it off the heat quickly, whisk in a tablespoon of baking soda, and the thing blows up like you're in. an airline headrest. Oh, weird. It's like three times its size. Does it do it quickly?

Like you can see it do that? Instantly. Yes. Weird. So, like all at once, you got to take it off the heat, drop in the tablespoon of baking soda, take out the thermometer, whisk it like crazy, so it mixes in that baking soda thoroughly throughout everything, and then pour it onto a prepared cookie sheet with some parchment paper on it.

Yeah. And then once you do that, you just got to let it sit and cool for an hour. And then it turns into like a hard, crispy, like almost like a toffee crispiness. Maybe not quite as dense as, definitely not as dense as toffee, but light and airy. If you've had a violet crumble, which I know listeners, I know you've had it because listeners sent us a big box of Australian candy. Oh, yeah, that's what this is. Oh. Or violet.

I keep wanting to call it violent crumble. Violet crumble. Here's the deal, though. The problem with this stuff is on its own, it's, I mean, it's honey and sugar. It's effing sweet. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

What you want to do is crumble it up and put it on yogurt or crumble it up and put it on ice cream. Or, as B4 Tank Girl and Jeannie suggested on Twitter, melt some dark chocolate and pour it over it, like basically have a semi-sweet or not an under- sweetened dark chocolate on there and that'll kind of counteract the oversweetness of it. Interesting. So you smashed it up

with this Thorhammer. I did. That's a meat tenderizer that Tristan gave me for Father's Day. That's awesome. It was like the perfect thing. Oh yeah, Squid Game, that's right. The whole thing where they're like trying to cut the shape out of the of the deal, that was honeycomb that they were trying

to cut the shape out of one of their tasks. Okay. Cutting the umbrella shape or the heart of the circle or the triangle. Oh, man. If I wasn't off the shug, I'd eat that whole freaking, look at that. That looks so good. I mean, this is like, this is probably the worst thing.

If you're off the shug, you could pretty much not even glance at that because all it is is shug. It is kind of, I am kind of having, just looking at it. I feel a little diabetic by looking at it. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to turn that off there. No, that's awesome. So anyway. Very, very nice.

What do you think Paul Hollywood would have said? Would you got a handshake? What do you think would have happened? No, because on its own, it's, you know, he would have said, that's great, what are you putting it with? What are you going to do? What are you going to do with that honeycomb? You think he would have done one of those weird things where he stands like 12 feet away and stares at you? It just looks at you.

Yes, like in the background, like. Yeah, those are so weird when he does that. I love the shots. And I don't want to cannibalize anybody's, because I don't think anybody's using it for, for recommendals. But we've been hooked on, now that the most recent season, of Great British Bake Off is done. We're hooked on junior bakeoff. And we're like, apparently the U.S. is like three years behind the U.K.

So we're, they're showing season six on, uh, uh, Netflix right now. Those kids are all in college now, so, yeah. Yeah, exactly, exactly. But these kids, I swear to God, it's hilarious watching because they drop crap on the floor. They pick it up. They put it back. And they do this thing where they do that. And then they look and see if the camera is,

on them and of course the camera's on them it's like they're totally busted or there's this one girl that we really like named Fern and she's making eclairs and so she's trying to fill the eclaires like you know with the the pastry filler

and it's not working so she just like looks at Leclair and kind of looks around and then just like shoves an entire Eclare into her mouth and then looks around for the camera that's amazing that's great yeah well this still has um what's her host

not in season six season six is is oh what's the guy's name Liam who was a contestant oh right right oh right right he was great on his season I think he won

or at least came in second or third and then a woman named or they shorten her name to RAV she's great and then the host is a was it Matt no Bill Barry or something like that Anyway, he's like a British

comedian and all three of them Excellent with the kids Like they you know Paul Hollywood would would rip these kids Apart mercilessly Oh yeah You need you need them The rest of them to help pad that out

Totally so all these you know The other two judges are like All right well I see what you're going for here And it tastes great You just need to work on your your presentation, and it's really like a pile of uncooked dough on a plate with a squirt of chocolate in the middle. Yeah, yeah.

I'm looking at some of these finished works. Really see what you're going for. These are horrendous some of these. Oh my gosh. They really are. It's almost like watching nailed it. It's like watching me do it. This is how about how I would do it.

I would not be able to compete with these kids. That's amazing. All right. Well, cool. It's good to know, actually, because we finished the season as well. And Kim was like, I'm in the mood for more of that. Oh, you got. to watch this. Like, you will fall in love

with these kids. They are so freaking adorable. There's a, yeah, this kid named Charlie who is like a walking espresso. I mean, the kid is like, a little hyped up. Yeah, like, I don't even know if who's the guy that

collected the beans in the mountains of Columbia, Jose. Oh, or Juan Valdez. I don't even know if Juan Valdez is this amped up. Yeah, I wonder if Juan Valdez gets high in his own supply. You know? I think he might.

I was wondering. That's the, that's the, that's comedian with the, uh, Harry Hill. Genormous Harry Hill. He's the, he's the actual host and he walks around, talks to the kids, and not a judge, but he's the Noel and Matt of, um, uh, of the season. Just one dude, no, no. Just one dude. Okay.

Yep. Probably a little overwhelming to have more for those kids. Maybe. Yeah. And also, I mean, he, you know, all he, that's all he needs to, basically they don't need a couple of, uh, guys doing this. Is it still one? person to say 30 minutes bakers you have 30 minutes is uh prue still doing not prue um yeah prue no no no not involved not involved with season six although i hear that she and paul hollywood

come back for other seasons so they just seem like they'd be annoyed to do this i don't know i know prue maybe not so much pro like i could see prue and nole and matt loving the kids and just you know playing along with them but i could definitely see paul hollywood just not having any of it No, lacking the patience required, is what I'm thinking. All right, well, good luck with that. Anyway, go watch that. If you've not watched it, that's the best thing you could watch instead of Hallmark Christmas specials. There you go.

If you're looking for chiber crystals or honeycomb, Brian Jermann. That's right, exactly. I have both. Yep. You never ended up with a black one, right, or whatever you're looking for. Never ended up with a black one, but they only did five. So it was a very, you know, it's like buying five lots. lottery tickets and looking for the $100,000 winner.

I probably have to buy another five or maybe 10 more or whatever. Good point. You've got listeners who don't have a red one and who've emailed me about, hey, can I buy one of those from you? I'm like, yes, you can. Why, certainly you'd say to those people. Certainly. I do want to take a picture with one of my chiber crystal holders filled with red crystals.

Oh, that would be so cool. Yeah. You should do that. You can do that. I will do that. Yeah, you can and will. you shall you might you shall you will you can you must that's right can I do it yes I can all right it's time for the news today's news is brought to you by the Jack Hannah method

oh let me explain this so please do I had a bunch I've got this project I have to work on and kind of really focus on but I can't focus without something this is a weird thing about me. I can focus, but I need some background things to help me do it. Yes, sure. I think a lot of people are like this. Like a little noise, right. Music or white noise or something, TV, something. I need something. So I decided to play this giant playlist I found on, um, on YouTube that is all of Jack Hannah's appearances on David Letterman from the first one in 85 all the way up until 2015 when Dave retired. And it's so good and perfect, by the way, for what I needed, because it's just smile-inducing, funny as hell every time, always amazing, never let me down kind of

moments. And I just had that on repeat behind me, and it was fan-freakantastic. Hi, I've got to do, I've got to do instrumentals. I could not do anything with talking or words or lyrics or anything like that. Depends on what I'm doing. I can see what you mean because there's certain things I can't do without um you know if i have lyrics like if i it's the worst just like human human words while i'm trying to think of other human words for it's bad it's bad time anyway does not does that work highly recommended though just go search for jack hannah letterman playlist and it's all there uh he's amazing if you don't know what i'm talking about boy are you in for a treat oh you're in for a treat yeah that guy's amazing i hope he's doing every episode is david letman getting up away from

his desk and saying, nope, sorry, I'm not. Yeah, it's amazing. Some of the stuff. Bring a live tiger? Some of the stuff is, I forgot how ridiculous the things. He would bring out entire elephants, like two, three elephants, and then try to manage it. And it was a night.

It's a nightmare. It's a nightmare. Yeah. Check this story out. A woman sues Kraft Heinz, I didn't realize they were merged. Did you know that? I didn't either. No, Kraft Heinz.

Kraft Heinz. They're the same, they're the same. Any relation to Cheryl Heinz? Because I really like her. Oh, she's great. You know. Larry never Larry never really truly

appreciated Larry what the hell's the matter with you I'm ready for a rewatch of that too that sounds like fun Oh see now that would be a good rewatch Yeah I'm in the mood Anyway She sued these folks

Craft you know they make the Mac and cheese You get the Heinz And make the ketchup Uh well anyway She sued him for $5 million She says This is because the mac and cheese

Preparation isn't as advertised Oh, geez. Florida woman is suing them for $5 million, claimed they misled the public about the time it takes to prepare its velvita microwaverable mac and cheese cups. Oh, gotcha. So these are the little individual standalone containers.

You open it up. It's like the cup of noodles, but it's mac and cheese, basically. And they're really, my experience was, the one I ever had, it was not good. Right. It was a bad food choice. Okay. I'm just going to put that out there.

Court records show that West Palm Beach-based law firm filed the suit on behalf of Amanda Ramirez in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Florida on November 18th. Ramirez is listed as the main plaintiff in the class action suit, which alleges Kraft-Hein's violated federal law by saying Velvita shells and cheese cups take three and a half minutes to prepare. She doesn't think this is true. Sure, yeah. This is how the lawsuit describes the process. first customers must remove lid and cheese sauce pouch sure nothing nothing better than cheese yeah if that doesn't get your mouth watering cheese sauce pouch yeah i'm starving now pouch in it i can't wait for lunch and i'm instantly hungry yeah i'm gonna eat that today

next they must add water to the fill line and stir third microwave uncovered on high for three and a half minutes do not drain finally they should stir in contents and cheese sauce from cheese sauce pouch, defendant then notes that cheese sauce will thicken upon standing. Wow, I love the caps in this. Like, it's all caps, like the actual things that would take time. Remove. Yep. Lin and cheese sauce pouch.

Yeah, remove. Do not drain. Stir it in. You know, cheese sauce is the only, not the only thing that will thicken upon, well, I thicken upon sitting. I need to stand more. Consumers seeing ready in three and three. and a half minutes, we'll believe it represents the total amount of time it takes to prepare the

product. The suit states, meaning from the moment it is unopened, to the moment it is ready for consumption. I think this is a overly litigious suit and a little bit ridiculous. Five million dollars. Yeah. I mean, I think, okay, this is, you know, if you're like, oh my God, I need to leave the house in three and a half minutes for my dentist deployment and, you know, heaven forbid you go to the dentist and have a craft or a craft mac and cheese. the moments before you leave without brushing your teeth. But, you know, like an actual lawsuit instead of just saying, hey, you know, maybe you want to adjust this and actually include the eight minutes it takes to prepare, not just the three and a half minutes in the middle of it. Yeah, lame.

I think she should not. Five million in damages. She should not. What damage? What, how are you damaged? Because you had an extra minute? I believe she's damaged, but I don't believe it comes from the mac and cheese. Oh, yeah, good point.

I don't think the mac and cheese damaged you at all, but something. Yeah, you came pre-damaged before we even pulled off the lid and dumped cheese sauce, India. It's the kind of people, I think, if you check into their history, they probably have done something like this before, you know. Cyber squatting or something burn them somewhere. They're into the get rich quick, you know, the, all right, how can I make some money really clear? Yeah, like Sabarro pizza, there was a hair on my pepperoni and I'd like to sue for $8 billion. Like, come on, man. try not to be weird

uh here's one uh if you ever wonder what happened if you got like a ton of cannabis and it just suddenly disappears I do I do oh you do okay but it hasn't disappeared yet okay that's good oh that's good well that means tell me what I need to do

well that's good because it means you don't have rats that's what that means oh good according to Indian police they have now they are now blaming 500 kilograms gams gala gams kilagams those are really good legs I don't have rats, but I do have neighbors from Wisconsin. Does that count?

Yeah, it totally does. Yeah, totally does. And they've got the cannabis to be eaten by rats for sure. Anyway, these rats, according to the police, ate 500 kilograms of cannabis stored by Indian police. Rats in Northern India have been accused of eating hundreds of kilograms. These were seized from drug dealers, by the way, and stored in police warehouses.

I think that probably means I was going to ask if there was any part of India where pot was legal. I don't think so. I think Pott is still very criminalized there. Yeah, I don't know. That's an interesting question. As far as I know. Tell Dave not to go to India.

Is it just Amsterdam or have other countries started saying, all right, we see what the U.S. is doing. Maybe we'll do the same thing here. Well, Carter says in Iceland, it's like here in that it's like the equivalent of federally illegal, but everyone's doing it and nobody's enforcing it. Gotcha. So I think there's a lot of that going on around. Right, right.

I mean, it happens here in the States a lot. Yeah. You know, somebody in, I don't know, you could go. You could be Idaho and drive to... I mean, Utah is still medicinal, but no recreational. Yeah, medicinal, no recreational. Every state around us is recreational. So it doesn't take anything for Utah to drive down to Vegas and get their weed.

And they don't seem to... I don't know, maybe this is a lot of white guy privilege, but I think a lot of people like, oh, we'll go down there and do that and come back and never, no one's the wiser. Whereas I don't, I don't want to speak for everybody. I know people of color get pulled over for no reason at all. So maybe they get, maybe they get busted. I don't know. Right. Right.

Anyway, so here's what it says. Rats are small animals and they aren't scared of the police, noted the court document. After hearing that police, local police were unable to furnish almost 200 milligrams of confiscated cannabis and was supposed to be used as evidence in a recent case. They said the police had been asking, or had been asked to provide. provide this cannabis, but the prosecution flagged to the court, flagged to the court, that's weird, that more than 700 kilograms of the marijuana stored in various stations across there had been impacted by the rat infestation that had been going on.

Apparently, it's not the first time it's happened. They say that Rodents have also been blamed for a total of more than 500 kilograms of pot and weed for various cases. The court laid down guidelines for the police to auction or dispose of the. the cannabis, auction. See, that tells me that if it's auctionable, then that's, maybe there's a legal aspect to it. Exactly.

Yeah. Otherwise, how are you auctioning it if it's not legal? So, yeah. I mean, I guess it's still illegal even, like in Colorado, it's still illegal for someone to, without a license be selling pot. So like if Ryan, if you went down the street in Denver and said, I couldn't sell. Right. Exactly.

Yeah. You can't sell weed without a, you know, you have to be a license. Whatever the state's. rules are. So maybe that's what this is. It's like... And I think I can grow my own up to a certain number, you know, up to like a certain number of plants or something like that. Right. Does Dave do that? Stuff that I use personally. Does Dave do that? Just curious. I'm surprised he doesn't try that. No, it's too easy for them to get it otherwise. It's like, why would I, why would I go through the hell of

growing and having to take care of a plant and all this? It's a good point. I don't know how any personal pot growers actually get anything done. I know. It's like dedicate your whole closet with that grow light in it. And, you know, you've got to constantly maintain it looks like. Vegas Edibles made me feel like I didn't care about anything but the weird shapes on the street. That's all I thought about. Why am I hearing this flick noise? What is that coming from?

What is that flicking sound? I can hear it from here. Anyway, so there you go. They got rat problems. So India, get on that, fix that up. There you go. And now you've got to worry about your supply of Cheetos. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, that's value. Oh, Brian, the knock-on effects are terrible. Pizza rat, step aside for Cheetos rack. Pizza rat. Pizza rat. Here's a story. I like a lot. A man has been arrested after family monopoly game turns violent, Tulsa police say.

I like this because I hate monopoly. Oh, yeah, exactly. And I could, I could, without reading the story, I'm going to guess. that the person who got angry wasn't involved with a trade that gave two other people he was playing with monopolies on some properties, you know, all three of the orange and the red properties, they did a little trade. Oh, interesting. That's without me reading the article, but that's what I'm guessing was the...

All right, let's find out of Brian. Let's find out if Brian's close. I'm not sure they get into that much detail, but I kind of hope they do. The Tulsa Police Department arrested a man Saturday night after the set of family game of monopoly turned violent. Officers were called to a shots fired. Wow. So gunplay was involved.

Yeah. It wasn't just a little silver thimble and a wheelbarrow. Was there, did he fire the cannon? Yeah, that's what it is. The cannon and then, you know, there's probably some other. Oh, the iron, block, block. Yeah. And they have like so many little pieces now.

They probably have other guns. Who knows? No, they definitely don't have it. Didn't they have other guns for the pieces? I don't think they have any projectile weapons, except for the, except for the canon, if they even still have the cannon. I can't remember. I thought I saw something.

You know, maybe in Americaopoly, you know, like all the, it's a cheeseburger and a gun. Right. An AK-47, a cheeseburger. Yeah, they do that. I guess, yeah, the custom ones would have different stuff, but you're probably right. They don't, like, the Star Wars one probably doesn't have a blaster as far as I know. No, no. But probably is a little.

Oh, I don't know. That's a good question. Now that you say it, like the, I see what you're saying, like the fantasy ones. Uh-huh. Oh, they might. They might, I don't know. I haven't played one of those in a long time. I have the Warcraft one, but I think it's all hammers and swords and stuff.

Yeah. I wonder if the Game of Thrones one has those cool little pieces that they use on the map table in House of the Dragon. Oh, that's cool. Those pieces were great. You know, I probably could find those in 3D print those. Those are so cool, dude. All those different house, the different house playing pieces. Hell yeah.

Parchezy pieces of Westero. I never followed up with you. Did you watch the whole thing? Did you guys finish it? We did. We enjoyed it tremendously. I did too. I loved it.

Yeah. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Yeah, I like how, you know, you think you're rooting for this person and then you're kind of rooting for this other person and then, oh my gosh, I'm not rooting for that person anymore. No. And then, I mean, some people have complained about the time jumps. I'm fine with them because I think they're trying to, they're trying to, they're trying to,

whatever they've established that this is a different pace and that's fine but the uh some of these kids are turning out to be turds man yeah oh gosh yeah the uh patchy mcgee over there i patchy mcgee holy cow he freaks me out agon yeah he's your next joker i'm telling you hire that guy is he uh is he do we is the mad king uh from from the original flavor game of Thrones. Was he a Targaryen or was he a Baratheon? He's a, he's a Targaryen. He's a Targaryen. Jamie. So, but we don't have that guy yet in this. We don't, okay. Because he's not, he's not been introduced as a character in House of the Dragon as far as we know. Yeah, because it's like 170-something years or something. Yeah. But the, oh, right. That's right. He was, that's right. He was,

DeNaris's dad was the Mad King. Yeah, exactly. And Jamie killed him. Um, that was he, that was, that was 2011 you guys it's it's okay if we say it's totally fine but jamie james that's why he was the king killer the king whatever it was king slayer king slayer and then that's when barathean stepped in and took over and then

that's right was the king yeah and then he had it run him with a bad pig so that was fun I kind of want to watch that over all over again now that I finished which season would you stop at um I think I'd go all the way you know what I keep hearing like my daughter's just finished the whole run and she says she says it's so much better first of all outside the window of overhype but also um

binge it when you you binge it isn't it doesn't feel as weird as the as the tail end did when you watched it happen live every week okay so all right we're worth probably revisit i'm gonna i'm gonna find out for myself i guess and see but yeah yeah let me know yeah i'd be curious um where are we here oh uh Yeah, the Monopoly game, and I looked and there's no information on the news story. What caused the fight, but... What I love about it is it says officers were called shots fired near Admiral and Mingo. Give me my Mingo phone. I need to talk to Flash Gordon. Flash Gordon. The caller identified the suspect is John Armstrong, can't read,

saying he chased her down and fired a shot at her and her father. When they arrived, they took her with custody. they've been drinking alcohol and playing Monopoly. Bad combo, man. Yeah, yeah. The fight broke out between this dude and his stepfather knocking over the game board

and turning over furniture. They took the fight outside. Armstrong pulled a gun out after getting cut in the head and chased his stepfather and sister down the street, pointing the gun at them. The police said he fired one shot

at the ground, is the quote. Officers did not find the gun saying they believe Armstrong hit it in the house before surrendering. He was arrested and booked into the toll. Tulsa County Jail, which sounds like an Old West story. I love that. Where is he?

The Tulsa County Jail, we got to go bust him out. Tulsa County Jail sounds like it's part of a Johnny Cash song, doesn't it? Yep. Hey, I'm out of Trinidad Tulsa County Jail. Monopoly Money and Game Pieces scattered around the living room, validated the story. I'm like looking to see if any of the articles have more information. Yeah, they don't say what, nobody's got info on what kicked it off. That's a bummer.

No, it was definitely somebody traded. at Indiana for New York Avenue and gave two players a monopoly that John Armstrong was not involved in. And so his goose was cooked as soon as they put some hotels on that shit. Yep, I agree. I think Brian, look, Brian knows the apex of when people fall apart. I know what would anger me. Maybe not to the point of shooting at somebody, but.

Right. What always made us mad is I have a sister, not Misha, not Wendy, the other one, who I don't talk about very often, who was the bank, always wanted to be the. the banker and was always stealing money. Wow. Always taking fake money out of the fake bank. It pissed us off so bad every time we pulled. Drove us crazy.

And we'd see her do it and she'd deny it. She'd like slip a hundred and go, you'd see her pull it away. And I'm like, damn it. Tara, what are you doing? Oh, there's her name, Tara. I was going to avoid not saying. You know, anybody listens to this show, no. She's trouble.

Not just in monopoly either. She doesn't have a monopoly on trouble. Oh, Lord. Final story, this is a quick one. A genetically modified tobacco plant is now producing cocaine in its leaves. That's right. Tobacco is the gateway drug to cocaine. We found it.

That's right. The complex biochemistry that sees coca plants make cocaine has been unpicked and replicated in a relatively weird way in a tobacco plant. Recreating the process by modifying other plants or microorganisms could lead in two ways to manufacture the stimulant or produce chemically similar compounds with unique. properties. Good news. You can get your Coke and your cat and your, uh, I can't read. I can't read tobacco. You can get your tobacco and your cocaine at once. Are you excited? I am. Totally. Yeah. I mean, you know, because nothing, who doesn't like a good cocaine chaser? Oh, yeah. After a, just immediately. Posting the chat room. TMS taskmaster for Vegas 2023, rousing game of monopoly. Nice. Nice. What could go wrong? It'll be fine.

could go wrong. Bobby hates it too, apparently. My game sucks. I don't know how Amy or Fletcher or... I'm going to, you know, I'll admit something. I'm working on a game right now that's gotten a pretty farm process and it is a follow-up to my Rock Runner's game but a little bit more advanced and

I've been working on it for a while. I hope, at the very least, I should have a deck, a playable deck with me, if not like done decks to take to Vegas. So I hope to be doing that. And here's the other admission I'm going to make. Yeah.

As much as I just talked about hating monopoly. Yeah. My game has some inspiration from a tangential monopoly game. Oh, right. Like the Monopoly card. Yeah, Monopoly deal is where I got some of the, not all, but a couple of the ideas I've integrated in here are fully taken out of that. So I'm excited about it.

I can't wait to show people. It's going to be great. And I coughed all over my mess. My mock-ups yesterday, so that was great. Oh, no. Did you cough up anything? Like, you didn't cop up something on you? No, no, no, no.

Just, I mean, I'm sure if we blacklighted it, we'd find some evidence of something. I don't want to do that. There are hawk-up mock-ups is what they are. Yeah, hawk-up mock-ups. They're hawk-ups. All right, speaking of hawking things up, let's hawk and do a commercial here, or not a commercial. What do we call these? That's called a song.

It's called a midi in the middle. That's what I refer to them at them as. Well, tell me more about this song that we're playing in the middle. Yeah, I will. As of about a week and a half ago, two weeks ago, a German funk band, listen, if you have not heard any German funk today, then I'm glad that this is going to be your first German funk listening as of, you know, November 29th.

A band called The Winston Brothers, their debut album, Drift. It just came out on November 18th via Coal Mine Records. This is freaking awesome. And this is like, this is like some 70s era. Oh my God. Who's the green onions, uh, dude? Shoot, why can I not remember that guy's name? The more I struggle to remember that guy's name.

Green onions guy. I don't know. Green onions. There was a song called Green onions that you know that you've heard a million times. Oh. But do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Why do I not? Booker T and the MGs.

Thank you, Moose, for saving me there. This is so Bookerty and the MGs, it hurts, and it's fantastic. The Winston Brothers from their brand new album, Drift. Here is the title track. I'm going to be I'm going to be I'm going to I'm going to

I do love the tentacle. The morning stream. I don't know what's scarier. Losing nuclear weapons. Or that it happens so often that there's actually a term for it. These bold Fletcher things I'm finding are very weird. So good. Anyway, hey, remind me who that was.

That probably was great. I'll listen to it later, but I'm sure it was amazing. It was probably great. Yeah, those are the German funk band, The Winston Brothers. Their debut album, Drift, just came out earlier this month. That was the title track, Drift, by the Winston Brothers. That's a great name for a thing. It is the Winston Brothers.

Yeah, it's pretty good. The first track on that album is actually the Winston theme song, and it's, you know, it's all instrumental stuff. This is actually would be great music for while you're getting worked on. Oh, really? Okay. smooth, funky. Ah, it's great. It is really, really good.

All right. I'm definitely listening to that after the show. Yeah, please do. Okay, we got Bobby in coming. Bobby? Yeah, Bill's down with some sort of head cold thing. So now it's up to Bobby to not just bring us science, but also make something. Yeah, he's got to make something.

It's his scientific duty to do both his job and bills. That's right. That's right. Bobby, welcome back to the show. you. I'm doing fantastic. I landed the plane today. Oh, nice. Tell me more. Is this your first

landing or where is this in the process of your learning thing that you're doing? Well, so I've been working on landings for a long time. I've been working on what's called traffic pattern work.

And so you take off, you do a rectangle around the airport and then you to come back and land again. And I'd been working on getting the takeoff and traffic pattern flying and getting the various, getting the plane into various setups and everything. Doing that really, really well, but the landing is the hardest part, of course. And so the way my flight instructor does it is he progressively helps less and less

as it goes on. And so the whole time, I'm. supposed to be treating it like I'm I'm the one doing it right like like he's just he's just only jumping in when he needs to and today I did two landings where he didn't have to do anything at all oh weird so when you do that purely logistics question I guess but when you do that you take off you do your rectangle or whatever you land do you immediately take off again uh yes exactly So when you're, if that's the practice that you're doing, they're called touch and go landings. If you've ever heard of that, that's what a touch and go is.

Cars have a great song about that. Yeah, so you come down, wheels touch the ground, and then you immediately go into a takeoff configuration. For my plane, that means you put the flaps up, full power, and then get back up to take off speed and then take off again. And, you know, sometimes if you take too long to land, then you might be. too far down the runway and then you'd have to stop and taxi off and taxi back to the to the start of the runway again but yeah um but the goal is you just and not that the goal is this but but the it's it's more efficient it's faster if you can just do touch and go landings but yeah you just wheels touch the ground and then you take off again do you feel a sense of like um i don't

know confidence that you've never had before because you've conquered the skies in such a meaningful way today like how to yeah i actually feel if i feel really really good because it's been i mean i've been in the plane been flying time engine time 15 hours working on this is like months and months of working on it and uh it's still not perfect by any means like i i did do it on my own but you know one of them was really hard a hard landing and and so i'm still working on it and it'd be lots of practice, but it's a big milestone to get that done. I was just thinking, like, your instructor, to be a flight instructor seems like a very precarious job.

Like, it seems scary. It does because you have to, you know, it's not unlike, I guess, teaching teenagers how to drive or whatever, but, um, I assume he has like, like a, like a, uh, a teacher with a car, you know, training at a drive, they often have gas and brake pedals on their side and stuff like that does he have that kind of stuff so if he was suddenly like yeah oh shit bobby just took it did the worst thing yeah can he do that and he has yeah and he has had to do that before because because i'm learning and and mistakes in a plane are a lot more deadly than mistakes in a car yeah but uh he's dead mistakes off his plane but he has all the controls um he can

he can fly the whole plane from the right seat and and uh i think most planes are like that right the they they have two yolks oh i didn't realize that two yolks yeah if they don't have two yolks then i've i've been in a plane before a friend of mine who has a plane who has um it's not two yolks but it's got it's a yoke that's on a swivel that you can just swivel over to the right seat yeah um so the point is that yeah your co-pilot the person in the right seat should be able to fly the plane from where they are and there's two sets of rudder pedals and everything you just have to reach with the opposite hand you know they call sometimes they call two yolks they call it the double chicken you know they call it that yeah yeah they don't they don't do that it's a weird one when

you crack it open and there's two yolks that is true um it means twins right i guess i don't know what it meant what does it mean if you didn't murder it yeah if we hadn't murdered it or had gotten properly fertilized we would have had twins right yeah right's the deal and those ones that are um that sometimes times like eight of them will come out. That's just, that could have been a quintupper. A litter of chicks. A litter of chicks. Yeah. Fraternal twins, right? Yeah, they would have been fraternal. It was almost a girl group. They would just, the fraternal chicks of chicken birth or whatever their name would be. Hey, Bobby, let's get to some science. There's probably a few things roiling around, and I'd love to know what we're talking about this week. So what are we doing?

First, I have a question for Brian about something he mentioned earlier. So you, you, So your honeycomb recipe, it doesn't have, it just has baking soda, no, no, it's not baking powder? It's not baking powder, it's baking powder, it's baking soda, the little orange box with the arm and the hammer on it. So it's interesting, do you taste, there's no bitterness in it at all? Uh-uh. No, you're doing a tablespoon in like a cup and a half of granulated sugar and, uh, and honey. So it's, I guess there's a lot of sweetness. There's a lot, like, basically it's like, I didn't taste that shot of alcohol that I put into that two-liter bottle of Diet Coke. Right, right.

Yeah, because that's why they, you know, baking powder has tautoric acid in it to kind of like cut through the bitterness of the baking. Yeah, and I don't know what if there's other recipes that use baking powder in place of it, because it seems like that or by carb or something like that would do, would have roughly the same effect. It looks a lot like when you mix, what is it, vinegar and, uh, baking soda as well? Is that the deal of vinegar and baking soda? Yeah.

Like where it just goes for you know. Yeah. And it's actually, it's pretty much the same reaction to the vinegar in the baking soda just is a kemp

is just a purely, like it just makes the reaction without heat. But yeah, it's the same thing. You're getting, you're getting carbon dioxide. That's what's causing the puffing up

because the heat. And TV's Travis explains that baking soda is bicarbs. So what they call in the UK bicarbs. is basically is what we call carbonate soda

is what they call it when it breaks down you're getting soda ash that's the sodium carbonate two carbon molecules

and yeah it's my favorite overwatch skin carbon ash carbonite ash yeah like ash is great but she looks real good in her carbon suit

anyway I wanted to talk about I wanted to talk about talk about the what happens to things that I don't I'm trying to go from like ingesting liquids somehow but you don't you eat honeycomb anyway pee okay all right no no you know that segue was just fine yeah that yeah you took the freeway but you got there it's fine yeah yeah yeah I like taking the long way around but you got off the freeway just the same yeah it's like there's people, you know, who just missed the...

You know how they're, like, cutting all the way across the stripes. From the left lane, all the way to be off-ramped. Podcast edition. So, there was a... So, not just pee, I want to talk about urinals, even better. Sweet. Yeah. Great. So, I've had...

A cake in them? Yeah. Exactly. There we go. There's your connection. There's a little cake in them. All right. Nicely done.

So, so I've had, I've had women complained to me before, or, you know, people who have to sit down to pee. I've had them complain to me before about their general annoyance at the fact that those of us with penises can stand up to pee. Right? Yeah. That is, that's, well, we can still sit, but you're right. We have the option. We do have the option. Yeah. If I need to get a quick game of Marvel Snap in. Right, right. I do find myself sitting down to pee a lot more lately. Sure. You're right. But I'm here to say that it's not all it's cracked up. up to be, right? Because urinals, urinals are disgusting. They really are, yeah. It's not, just because you're avoiding putting your flesh down on a seat doesn't mean you're avoiding

any sort of grossness and splashback and all that stuff. Right. A lot of times they contain debris too, which can't be flushed, right? What do we qualify as debris? Oh, like if somebody spits their gum in there or something like that. Well, I suppose some debris could be people doing the wrong number in the urinal. That's true. my brother did that when he got here from america like first week of school he pooped in a urinal i had to take him home the teacher is like what's he doing this we can't have this take your brother home and i was still pretty i mean i was eight or nine but i was like well he doesn't understand in korea they they squat over holes and he he thought that's what that was and so he you know

was one of the floor you're not not the ones that are up high it's one of the ones that urinal goes from floor all the way to whatever height they go to my brother took a big old dump in it. He wouldn't do that now. He's learned his lesson, okay? He's in his 50s, but I'm saying. Or he might, he might do it, but for a different reason. For a whole different reason. It's for the likes and the lulls or whatever. But back then, he didn't, he didn't know. And Mr. Wood, I'll never forget that guy's name. Mr. Wood, this tall, bald administrator, came storming into my class and said, Scott Johnson, I need you to take your brother home. Why? He defecated in the urinal, he says.

Anyway That was your responsibility Yeah, my job was to take him home Even though he was older than me My brother's older than me By like a few years, a couple years And I still, it was my job to take him home So Scott, get him out of here

And Matt didn't know English really at all So I was like Right You know go You know shit in the urinal Like what am I supposed to say Anyway, sorry So also the

I think a lot of people people who don't use urinals don't really fully appreciate how you're standing there in a line of people. Yeah, it's the worst. I hate it. But anyway, it's not all it's cracked up to be, especially because there can be splashback. And that's what we're going to talk about. This is great.

I'm really wanting to know where this goes. So let's go. Where are we? Tell me more. Splashback is the idea for those who don't pee with penises. Splashbrack is when you're peeing on the urinal, and it's splashback. back onto you and anybody who's used a urinal it's it's happened to you you can't deny it I mean you can but you know I try to deny it when you walk back into the chilies and you've got a

you know a wet a wet mark where there was no wet mark before we've all used the excuse that oh I was washing my hands and it's splashed um but uh the uh but but there's a scientist who just published a paper recently they've been working on how to prevent the physics of how to prevent splashback. Okay, all right. There's lots of fancy urinals that try to accomplish this by having like really weird shapes or really curves and stuff. Yeah, deep, deep set urinals and everything. But the reason that splashback occurs is due to the angle of the stream, all right?

Okay. The lower the angle. That varies, though, depending on who's aim and where, right? Right. Depends on how tall you are. Depends on how you like to aim. Yeah. But either way, the angle determines the splashback.

The lower the angle, 90 degrees being the highest angle, the lower the angle, the less splashback. So if you're shooting straight at the back of the urinal 90 degrees, you're going to get lots of splashback. It's a bad idea. You want to lower the angle until you reach a crossback. critical angle where no splashback occurs. These are terms that they're using, critical angle. This water is cold. Yeah, and it's deep, too.

Yeah. Exactly. So they got the idea for how to construct this and this critical angle idea from watching dogs pee, because I guess that's what physicists do. Sure. Now, that's some animal testing I don't feel too bad about, you know? Yeah, you're watching the dog pee. They realize that they're always going for.

a low angle. They seem to intuitively know how high to lift their leg, all that kind of stuff. Right. Because they don't get splashback. Um, and so they designed a tall, thin toilet that has a specially engineered curving on the inner surface so that the critical

angle, you're, you're always getting as close to the critical angle no matter where you stand, how tall you are, or what direction your aim. Do you have a photo of this or a link? I was just going to ask the exact same thing. I tried so hard. I think, So a lot of times, so this was where I didn't, so that to answer your question, no, I couldn't

find a picture of it. And I really wish I had a picture of it because I want to see it too. But it seems like very visual. But I think what it is is this was revealed at a conference of a sort. And I think at a lot of conferences where people are presenting data and presenting research, it's early in that and that they don't want to, they don't want all of it in the hands of people necessarily because they're still working out the kinks and they haven't published yet. So, you know, you go to conferences and a lot of times, people will say they don't want you taking

photos to post on social media and stuff like that. So that's my guess as a why I couldn't find any photos. Or maybe they're just trying to sell this toilet eventually. Oh, right. They want to keep it away from the idea jackers, basically. Yeah, yeah. So they said that the shape of it they got, was inspired by the shape of nautilus shells and how they curve. So that might give you an image in your mind.

Sure. A nautilus shell, though. Why can't I picture that? What is that? Like it's your typical, your spiral shell. Oh, okay. Like your stereotypical, hey, there's a crab walking and he's got that on his back. That whole thing.

Right. Kind of. But see, the problem with those, like the smaller, the, opening that you have to pee into, the fewer people that that can support of different heights, right? Because they've got to basically get, be able to get to that hole. Right. So the person, so, there was a link in the chat asking if this was it. That's the paper, the article that I looked at, but those aren't the, that's just a stock footage of a bunch of different toilets or stock photo. oh look at those weird things oh they're privy dude i kind of like the tear drop upside

number five is uh belongs on our film sack checklist basically yeah no kidding some of these are i can't tell what's going on with the one in the middle what are we doing there yeah i mean it's like an angled with a like angled thing with a triangle opening yeah that's really weird what's uh what's your what's your what's your take on uh uh what number urinal you're supposed to use if you walk into a bathroom with five urinals that are unoccupied oh i always go with the third one in that's what i do you go the middle i do the middle so you're you're the a hole that i don't like then that's weird because i don't want to i figure that others are going to go on the edges and if i go middle they'll avoid me yeah but here if you're the first one in there and you go to the middle so so

the alternative is you go all the way to the end so that the next person in can have the maximum distance away from you yeah exactly what you're doing is you're guaranteeing that the next two people have to be closer to you than they then the next person exactly next person has to be one urinal away from you where they could have been five journals away from you you know what that's actually i that's really a good point i'd never considered i thought i was actually doing a favor to everybody by avoiding the sides i rescind calling you an a hole and just yeah take that back davis actually thought about it's just he hasn't done the math yet it's the Clearly not, but that makes sense.

Okay. I love it. You know what? I love some of the women in our lives. Shojo beat in the chat. I go to the first available one. Do you have urinals in the ladies room in there? What do you guys got going on in there?

It's a whole different experience because you have your own little stall. Exactly. Stalls don't matter. But you have to be able to have a square if you need to spare a square. That's right. We have to think about people like accidentally catching sight of other people's junk. We have to think about like, are we going to be so. close that somebody can whisper into our ear, uh, stuff like that. Yeah. It's, um, it's, it's,

all right. I'm going to, you know, I'm going to change my behavior. What's, what were you saying? I'm going to say, I'm going to change my behavior. I'm, I'm annoyed that I used to, that I, I, I, honestly. You want to maximize your distance from other people, but also the next person's distance from other people. Exactly. Exactly. It's like you take number one or number five first, and then the next person takes the other one, one or five. And then the third person has to take number three. Well, can me ask you this? What if it's, what if it's a good citizen? What if it's, one of those bathrooms like at an airport where there's just like forever shorties yeah and there's a ton of them do i just just still stay to the sides and work your way in or if it's one of those giant

troughs at like rest areas oh those are the worst though those are the absolute worst yeah oh my gosh who ever thought of whose idea was that honestly beat that person up you ever notice that when it's the trough they always just make it out of like brushed metal yeah yes it's like the cheapest material they can find. Because they're like, we're already going to humiliate you by putting you at a trough. You know, it's only slightly better than, oh, we just took a roll of aluminum

foil and made a a canoe out of it, pee in that. Right. I hate it. Those things are, our high school had that. We had a big circular one. We didn't have urinals in my high school. We had a big giant troth. Everybody had to share. And if you want to know why I avoided ever going to the bathroom

of my school is because of that. Come on, give me a break. They had these portables outside. The teachers, the teachers had a portable. You know the portables? Is that what they called them? They were like separate buildings. They're like add-ons for your school.

We called them portables. We called them. Oh, what do we call them? We had a different name for them. I don't even know why we called it. Yeah, that's as good. Basically is what it was, right? They were pop-up trailers, but we called them portables for, I don't know why.

Interesting. But anyway, they had, one of them had bathrooms in it. Nobody was supposed to know. Teachers would use them. the annex the teacher's lounge yeah and we found out and we started using it and that caused a kerfuffle but anyway yeah but a troth freaking what are you trying to do you trying to make everyone's life bad my gosh anyway sorry bobby continue on so we're so so do you think this is it

we're gonna see this is the problem of these kind of innovations japan will do it no one else will do it sure you know sure like every other bath i'm not going to go to the mall see total washlets make a more prominent of visibility in America and not just in the uh that secret bathroom at the mandalay bay i want i want total washlets all over the place i agree total washlets for life man i mean but seriously like that's what happens that's a when you have infrastructure already laid out and by that i just mean everybody's already got a giant room full of their urinals uh what chance does this have to permeate that you're only going to see this in, like, fancy restaurants

and other places like that. The 1% gets to benefit from the cooled new toilet tech while the rest of us plebeians have to pee in a trough. No more pee on their khakis. That was a place. Oh, it's the Colorado Tap House. So we got a brewer in here ass that I'd never use their urinals until a couple

weeks ago was there for trivia. And went in and they were like their urinals were um like the half like a two-thirds of an egg okay with a small opening near the top so it's like a like a much deeper base that definitely seems like it prevents splashback and at a brewery you don't want splashback because you're just sitting there drinking beer and there's going to be a lot of urinating yeah and you're tall though did it did it was it was a it was and they had like one tall and one short but none that were like low enough to be considered kid level. Okay. Yeah. So you just take your kid into the stall. Yeah.

If you take it to the bar, you're taking them to the stall. Yeah. When my kids were little, we never had tiny toilets. You had to take them into the room. That's just the way it was. Oh, yeah.

Sure. Yeah. I used to hate doing that. He's like, I told you to pee at home. That was basically my thing every time we went anywhere. That's interesting.

I mean, you know, all jokes aside, peeing is a human thing. Yeah. Everybody does it. Yeah. And it's important. that you do it. And it's also important, I don't know, to have public, as close as you can get

to public cleanliness. Men's bathrooms are gross by design. And women's are also not that nice. I mean, the worst bathroom I ever saw still to this day, without any hesitation or comparison. And I've seen a lot of roadside stuff and a lot of weird things up in the mountains and all that. Sure. The weirdest, worst, grossest bathroom was 4 a.m. main floor of the Hilton and in Anaheim. Oh, my. Luscon. Disgusting. Worst than the Jack in the Bible. the block off of the strip in Vegas. Worse than that, because that, yes, that had a heroin guy shooting up when I opened the stall.

That was clean. But it was kind of clean. This thing had, there was vomit and feces and urine and people sitting in there on the floor and no toilet wasn't plugged. Every urinal had paper everywhere. Nightmare. The cleaning staff at the Hilton, I have nothing. No wonder you charge a $10 for a water bottle.

You need the money to clean that mess up. It's so bad. I wonder if this toilet will help vomit splashback. Maybe. Oh. No. You better not be vomiting in the urinals. In the urinal?

That's a good point. There's your debris problem right there. There's debris. Oh, my gosh. You're right. Don't barf in a public urinal. Don't do that. Well, all right.

This has all been fascinating. I'm more. Enjoy your breakfast, everybody. Yeah, enjoy whatever you're eating. And don't forget to stay high. So you pee a lot and do it in a clean place. Bobby, before Bobby leaves, though, we have a quickfire question for him.

Oh, we do. I totally forgot. We had this. Sorry. Thank you for bringing that up. Bobby, I do have a quick fire question for you. This actually came via text, and they said this. This is from Kendor, who I assume is some sort of Star Wars villain.

He's, no, he's, that tiny little city under a cloche that Superman keeps in his garage. Oh, fantastic. That's the Ken Dor. Well, then this is an even more powerful question. He says, hey, guys, quick one for Bobby's science segment. If you could have lunch with one science expert, living or dead, who would it be? Love the show and the segment, Kendor. Bobby, do you have an answer to that?

Who would you, you know, plop down and have a sandwich with? I think the easy answer is Bill Nye, but I've always found Brian Green to be kind of interesting to talk to. Who's that? There's a kid from Beverly Hills 9-0-2-0, really? Brian Green, he's a physicist. Oh, not Brian Austin Green. Not Brian Austin Green.

They're completely different brain-grin. Wasn't it Greer? Yeah, he's a physicist and mathematician. He does a lot of science communication, and I think he does a lot of physics topics in a way that's easy to understand. I think it'd be really cool to sit down and talk to him and help me understand

a lot of like dark energy. stuff that I don't get. And he yet lives, so he's around. You can totally do that. Him and Bill Nye totally. I see the Bill Nye one because Bill Nye seems like he'd be fun at lunch, you know, like a good time, a bunch of laughs and stuff. Is that Neil DeGrasse Tyson or Carl Sagan or...

Carl Sagan would be great, but probably heavy, right? Yeah, there's no, right? It's like, oh, man, you realize we're only on this tiny blue dot. I want it to be light conversation. Yeah, you know, it's a good point. You don't want somebody who's going to be too deep. Oh, my God. May. What a great choice.

Yeah, Brian May is good. Hey, there you go. Yeah, he's a... Fine men would be a great one, too. Yeah. Okay. Who would you do if they were dead? Give me a dead one. What's his name? Hawking. Hocking. Hocking. It would be good.

Copernicus. I mean, you can go that old. Socrates, the original. Yeah, go way back. Cathagiaia is like, boy, you just get one-trick pony. Yeah. Tell me about your theorem and then lunches over. What was this now, the inventor of the Pythagoras? You're right. Pythagoras, that's it. Okay, yeah.

Yeah. They call them... That would be... They call them Aggie, for short. Pyth. Hey, Pyth. Hey, Pyth. Come here. Give me your theorem. Neil deGrasse Tyson annoys me. He annoys me, too, but I don't know why. I don't actually have a reason. I think it's just his delivery. He seems so, like, snarky and up his own butt all the time. Like, he's like, this is... Couldn't you just be smarter? right exactly there is a little bit of that you can't do da da da da yeah my impression of him is he's brilliant

as as anybody he just comes off as really arrogant about it and maybe he's not he just has that way i don't know i can't judge exactly yeah it's very weird um but anyway brian green's your answer there you go uh so do that uh everybody send your questions in and if you do bobby might answer one i might who brian might who knows where your text will go 801-471010462 is the number to send those two. Bobby, tell us about All-Around Science and what's going on over there this week. The podcast they do, weekly science podcast, All Around Science, with my co-host, Mora. We just put out an episode, which is sort of we finished up the Nobel Prizes from 2022.

We talked about a while ago when they first came out, we focused on the one in physics, but we just, we did the rest of them this one on Monday, the Nobel Prize in Medicine and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. And it was fun. We talked about it, and we had a good time. And you should check it out. We talk about science news and interesting things that we find interesting every week. Nice. All around science.

And you can find it anywhere that podcasts are available. That's my understanding. Bobby, have a fantastic week. We'll see you next time. Well, he says, yep. Yep. Paul is dead. Go land the plane.

Go land the plane again. All right. That's it for Bobby. Thank you, Bobby, for that. That was awesome. Let's do a quick email before we get out of here today. This is an email from, sorry, Emil in the Netherlands. He says, hey, S&B.

Yesterday talked about the speed of podcasts. And Brian said it would be impossible for him, also because of the music. He says this. I listen to you guys at 1.5 speed or at 150% smiley face. That is appropriate use of the percentage above 100%. Well done. Well done. Nicely done.

And the smiley face makes me realize that that guy is listening. So thanks for listening to the show. The song you played at the end of the show yesterday was played at 1.5. Most songs sound weird at that speed, but sometimes it just sounds like it's supposed to sound if you've never heard the original. So if you've never heard it, it's something. sounds normal to him. I might think that, yeah, exactly, yes. That's the problem, though, because then one day you're going to hear it somewhere and go,

why is that all screwed up? Wow, is this the slow dance version of Mamba number five? Wow, it's... No kidding. He says, I thought it'd be a fun game to let Scott guess songs that Brian has or hasn't sped up. Anyway, I love the show, though, Emil. There you go. That could be fun. That could be fun, yeah. The trick is doing the speed up the way that the podcast steps to speed up, which is taking out space as opposed to just cranking up the speed. Doesn't it do also? I thought it also did just, it keeps the pitch the same, but it's like when we do the slowdown thing with me and you. Yeah, it does, doesn't it? Right. It depends on the

app, though. I don't know. They're all not at the same. Some of them cut out space. Some of them cut out space and speed up. So I don't, I don't know. But in music's case, since there's no space, well, I just have to hear it, I guess, and I never do that. Maybe I'll do that today. After the show's posted, I'll go back to the podcast app. And listen to this episode with the music sped up and see what you think. And maybe I'll play, you know, record a little here and then we can talk about why we still think it sucks tomorrow. Have you, uh, Netflix for a while was giving you the option to watch movies at higher speed? They still do.

Yeah, did you ever do any of that? Never did. Have you ever tried it? Uh-uh, no. I just abhorred the idea so much that I know. I did you like David Lynch was pissed off about people watching movies on their phones. I can imagine what he'd say about, I can't imagine a director would be like,

yeah, I'm totally okay with that. That's such a great idea. I'll pull up some random Netflix thing, and let's just see what it does. I don't know what to use. How about, I don't want to get something that'll give me in trouble here. Yeah.

Okay, the extended cut of hateful eight, let me just pull up a scene here. Be hateful four and a half is what it would be. Okay, they're in the... I don't mean to unduly imply intimacy. I love this movie. Kurt Russell right there. All right, so there it is now.

Can I play it? Oh, here we go. I still got what? 1.5, here we go. The Lincoln Letter. Goose. Got it on you? Where?

Let me find some real dialogue. Now, are they doing, like, does the movement look like Keystone Cops kind of stuff? Oh, yeah, it's totally speeding up. So what you hear matches video, everyone's moving faster. It blows. Yeah. That is the dumbest. I hate it.

Hate it. Who is doing that? That would drive me crazy. There's a two or a two speed, too. Isn't there? Max on mine is only showing one five, but maybe it depends on program. Also, it will do a one-two-five, so it'll do a little quarter faster. But, yeah, that sucks. Freaking hate it, Brian. I hate it. No, thank you. Emil, do what you want, though. Yeah, exactly. You live your best life, all right? And if we sound like this, that's fine. He won't even know. He won't even know what that sound like because it sounded normal. He won't even know. Except I guess it'll be like 2.5 now because everything we say,

it'll screw them out. Okay, quick note about today, 3.30 Mountain Time. There will be a play retro. Me and Brian Dunaway doing our thing. We're talking about Mario Kart and all the stuff that inspired. So check that out.

If you like retro games, it's the perfect show for you. Play retro wherever you get your podcast. Brian, you got anything else going on today? I don't. I do have a sound dog if you have got a post we're starting to post are you got to listen to this episodes in in anticipation of the next season of the show but uh that i think actually it could drop today

as a matter of fact i think uh i want to make sure you give us enough time so that we've got a a pool of episodes for around the holidays where we're not going to be really recording new episodes and we want to have um uh and we want to have content still coming out week after week but not, you know, not recording week after. Right, right. No, that makes sense. Sandbag or whatever we used to call that. Yeah.

Awesome. Hey, if you're at home are sitting there going, man, you know what I sure like? I like extra content tacked on to my podcast. Or I like to never hear commercials. Or how about, I don't know, cool art in the mail? Well, there's one way to get it. Head on over to patreon.com slash TMS and sign up today. We've got a brand new month coming.

That is patreon.com slash TMS for all else. Dogpants.com slash TMS has you covered. Brian, let's get out of here. A little secret, by the way, is coming on the heels of the film sac video cassette magnets that I created, holding up one for a demonstration. I love these. Yeah. I might be working on something for TMS. Oh, you don't see.

That's awesome to hear. Yeah. Trying to find mine. Oh, there it is. It's probably stuck to their fridge. I keep it handy. right here by the, well. When are you going to paint that thing?

I don't know. I guess, when am I going to paint anything is a bigger question. Yeah, right, exactly. Batman's still sitting there. He's still gray is gray, man. Right there. Look, and I'm going to paint me. Paint me.

My parents were killed. Paint me. They were killed in an alleyway. All right. That's it for the show. Thanks everybody for listening. Brian, let's play a song. You got one?

I will play us, because you've asked nicely, I'll play a song. And again, we're in the situation where I've got, got a lot of requests to catch up with. So this one actually is from the end of last week, I believe. Me? Yeah, last week. Okay. Friday.

TV's Travis, our good buddy, TV's Travis. I'm always quick with a movie recommendation that we haven't seen or a correction in chat. I said my birthday was November 25th, which I know is a Friday and probably not a TMS day. So fit this in where you can. I love Clutch, and their cover of Electric Worry is just a toe-tapping good time. Thanks for the endless tour, hours, endless tours, endless hours of entertainment and fun. Let's test the ship's phasers. Oh, we should test the ship's phasers.

That's easy to do if I can just click the right button. I don't know. Let's test the ship's phasers. There it is. Nicely done. All right, so this is the song, Electric Wharton is performed by Clutch from their album From Beale Street to Oblivion.

Now, if you're looking for, wait, I'm looking for the original version of a song called Electric Worry, you're not going to find it because this is only a partial cover. Muddy Waters did the original version, or did the original song Trouble No More, and this feature is, it's kind of a partial cover of that. Also kind of reminds you a little bit of boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, do do, do, do do, do by John hooker. Uh, anyway, here is Electric Worry from the band Clutch. See you guys
