Hey, follow my crime on TikTok. The car was a toad. More glue than plastic with Bill. Backseat junk bag with Bobby and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. Okay, brothers and sisters and Mrs. Here's your daddy-yo with a sound to go. No shuck and no jive. And I'm telling you, your music's arriving. Category 5, loser, now departing.

the morning stream reverend you've got balls as big as church bells good morning and welcome to TMS it's January 10th 2023 I'm Scott Johnson that's Brian Nibbitt hi Brian oh hi Scott hi how are you today I'm fine it's a Tuesday uh you know Tuesday things apply whatever that means I don't know I got up uh Taco Tuesday That's what it means. It means that it's Taco Tuesday and Taco Rules apply. Oh, so annoyed this morning. My dog would not pee.

She's in the kennel for 12 hours. I know she needs to pee. I'm 100%. Never been more of a surety in my life that a creature needs to do something. In this case, pee this morning. And she just danced around and acted like there's no way I'm doing this and looked at me the whole time. I couldn't even scare it out of her. She's just not going to pee.

It is scared. Oh, please. Tell me, you tried to scare it out of her. I did. I did. I went like this. I went, Boehner, like in her face. Sometimes, because she's a nervous dog.

Sometimes she'll do that. Yeah, nervous dogs just piddle like that. She didn't do it. Not a thing you want to like, like foster. Like you don't want to. No, you don't. This isn't a good idea to do this to your dog. I agree.

Anyway, she just won't pee. I don't know what's going on. And then when she will need to, someone won't be around. So she'll be around. So she'll be dancing at the door for. out and I won't be able to help her. So thankfully Carter's home now and she can take care of it. Well, this is her dog.

Oh, no, that one's not her. No, this is mine. Hers is now back to the old. Oh, I thought she was gone forever. And now that she's back, I will never leave her side and obey nobody but her. Oh, you got to love that. Yeah. It's out of control to be honest, but whatever.

Hey, we got some stuff today. Let's get right straight to it. Yeah, let's do it. You know that Harley Quinn show we talk about a lot here. We like it. I know it very well. still still in the middle of the next season the the the current season yeah season two i think is all there is right season two and three is i guess coming three is coming uh which is good to hear hbo doesn't uh yeah screw something up they'd keep chopping uh animation projects so i'm always worried but i think this was a big hit for them so i think they're probably probably good but anyway

yeah got a text from an anonymous listener uh they just didn't share their name it's not like i'm keeping them anonymous they just didn't say where they said hey scott i heard you guys mention you wish there were more Harley Quinn on TMS yesterday. Says, it's my wife and I's favorite show this year and we talked to my uncle at Christmas who has been an artist for various Disney and WB animations and he's

working on an animated spinoff of Harley and the villain bar called Noonan's. Kite Man is going to be the main guy in it. We were very stoked to hear about it and thought I'd share it with you. So it's probably good you're anonymous because I don't think this is public. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's

sure that's NDA right there. That's probably why you're anonymous. Oh, Warner Brothers is calling, they want to know if you can give them the phone number that that text came from. Yeah, exactly. Good thing I delete these after I get them. But that's awesome. That's great.

Yeah, that says good things. You know, obviously I know Kaylee Kwoku, Ku Koukow, Keli Kukko. Does the voice of Harley Quinn. Lake Bell is the voice of Ivy. Who's the voice of Kite Man? Do you know? I do.

Or I did. Let's see if I can look at it real fast because I know Ron Funches is your King Shark. Clayface is Alan Tudick. That guy cannot hide his voice. No, it's impossible. Alan Tudic's great as Clayface. He might actually be Kite Man too. Let's see. He's great. Yeah. Let's see if I can. Oh, no. Kiteman is Matt Oberg. Do we know him as anything but Kiteman? Superstore. Who was he on Superstore? Someone named Bruce on there. Was he on a lot of episodes or just one episode of Superstar? It looks like four episodes of Super episodes, yeah. A lot of Veep. He played Buddy Calhoun on Veep.

I don't know if that is. Okay, now I got to see. Modern family, someone named Trent for a one-off. He didn't around. He has been around. I mean, I'm looking at him and there's, he looks a lot like, uh... Fresh off the boat, Matthew Chestnut, Chestnut. You watch that.

No, never seen a single episode of Fresh Off a boat. We're too busy watching bleakish. He looks like if, uh, if, hold on, it's coming to me. All right. He looks like if. Give him a minute. Oh, my God. It would help, it, like, it would be great if I could remember the two names that I'm saying if those two had a baby.

It would be, uh, if mystery person A and mystery person B had a baby. If he would like just like that, exactly. Hold on a second. Give me one second here. He looks like if Bill Nye, the science guy. Yeah. That's a good one. And Ed Helms had a baby.

You know what? That's pretty good. Just having to have a glance at his photo, you're pretty close. The other person I love on there is I would love Clayface and the bane they do to have their own show. They make me laugh so hard. like oh the bane is fantastic actually the play face is fantastic what are you three doing in here i mean they're just doing they're just making fun of the tom harney bane but it's amazing it's so good it's so it's so it's so good i can't believe you left me again he's just always pissed and maybe maybe he'll be a regular in noonan's

bar that'd be great i'd be into that wasn't uh wasn't lost my memory joker or they thought he lost his memory, Joker, a bartender at Noonan's for an episode or two? Oh, maybe. Was that season one? No, that was season. It was the after, season one is when Joker's kingdom comes crashing down, and then he supposedly lost his memory and was a bartender at, I thought, Noonan's. Oh, that might mean why.

I think that means I haven't seen any of season two, I think is what that means. Oh. I know, which is bad. I should, I love the show. Why haven't I seen it? Part of me was like, oh, I guess you know, the Joker survived. Well, I mean, you can't kill the Joker, you know. I know, I know.

But the way I see these things is like, I got to stop doing this because Warner Brothers has been chopping stuff, but I always see it. Like I tell you about Netflix, like, oh, it'll be there forever. I'll get to it. That's not so true now. No, it's not so true. I was bummed to find out. So one of my favorite shows that got canceled and just bums me out that it got canceled

because it was so good. It was a show called Vinyl. Oh, I loved V. And I recommend old this. Yeah, had that guy we like in it. Yes, the Carnivalal guy. Bobby Carnival all, yeah. And it's an HBO Max original series, right?

So I thought, oh, well, that'll always be on HBO Max. No, no, it's not anymore. Even though it was a single, I know they didn't get renewed, so it was a single season, right? It was a single season. I just figure that stuff just lives forever, and it's not. Like, that bums me out a lot, actually. Because I don't know where you get that now. If you ever wanted to go watch that season with him and Ray Romano, he's in it.

He is in it. He's great in it, actually. Now, let's see, Vinyl Season 1. Oh, yeah. Like, you can watch bonus stuff on. What? I don't get this. They forgot to take the bonus stuff off.

Yeah, no, on Amazon Prime. So if you go to Amazon Prime, you can watch, I don't know what. bonus is. Me neither. But that's what you can watch now for free. It's the B-side of the vinyl record. Yeah, I guess this is like a making of. Yeah, it's an episode zero.

Season one, episode zero. What is the point of that if you don't have a show? I know exactly. Would you like to watch the behind-the-scenes of the show that you can't watch on the... That seems super dumb to me. But what do I know? I don't work in that world. Who knows?

I don't know. But keep an eye out for vinyl when it comes back, because, or when it comes back for that one season of streaming, because it is, God, it is so good. They could have kept going. I liked their version of, was it? Robert Plant. Yeah, Robert Plant.

Yes. It was weird to see all that stuff in that, you know, as it happens in that era. 70s, 70s era. Tuba says, I didn't like vinyl. It was okay. He says it was oak. But the timelines and stuff were all dumb. It was like a movie based on rock legend rumor.

Oh, really you think? Because I... I liked it more than that. I liked it quite a bit. Yeah, I didn't think it was... I didn't think the timelines were that far off. Also, wasn't it a kind of a big deal showrunner that was doing it at the time? Somebody who's done something else, maybe a co-writer of the Wire or something.

Not David Chase. It felt like a David Chase thing, but... It's one of those people, though. Yeah. It's like either Sopranos, X-Sopranos or X-Wire or X-Madman or something. Right. I'll tell you, actually. I'll tell you that it was the show.

Showrunner was. Some prestige. Oh, Martin Scorsese. Oh, he was a producer. Created by, though. Executive producer, also Mick Jagger, executive producer. Oh. All right.

He danced a lot. Yeah, let's see an actual showrunner listed. That's kind of weird. That is weird. I thought there was somebody of note there, but maybe I remember it wrong. Yeah, maybe not. It's easy to mix it up. We got another correction here from Dan and Rhode Island.

Okay. Okay. We never hear from Rhode Island. No, I mean, it's the smallest state, so it has the fewest number of TMS listeners, I believe. You know what weirded me out? Carter got home and reminded me that the entirety of the Icelandic population is less than the entirety of Utah's population. Oh, really? And we have that their entire country would fit inside of the state of Utah in terms of size.

Really? Oh, that actually does surprise. I don't know why I thought Iceland was bigger than that, but I guess not. On the map, I mean, they do that thing on the map where some stuff's bloated out because of where it's, you know, you flatten a map. It makes things look bigger or smaller than they really are. So I think there's a little of that going on, but that blew my mind. I couldn't believe that. Yeah, no kidding. Anyway, here's the correction.

This is about Lorca, or as I called him, Gorka for some reason. Gorka, sure. Captain Gorka. Yeah, Dorka, Gorka. I could not think of his name. I mean, he says, Dan says, Scott, Lorca was supposed to be a shitty captain on discovery, or was supposed to be one is the emphasis. If you remember, he was

actually the mirror universe version of who replaced the real Lorca. Right. Okay. Yeah, good point. Yeah, I forgot. But I understand that. I'm still saying the point is that you take the Star Trek template and you and you effed with it in a way that is

maybe it's interesting from a story perspective and any other thing. But in Star Trek, I feel like you got to be solid with your captains. I think It's dangerous not to. It's just, it will drive some people away, is all I'm saying. Will I still watch your show? Sure. Will I hold it in the regard that I hold the ones where truly true heroism comes out of captains? No, I can't hold it that high. Now, I haven't been past season two, so, you know, I'm going to, I'm going to, Kim's watching it. So when she catches up season two, we're going to keep going. And we're just going to finish discovery before the next season of, uh, uh, hoo-huh comes out. Um, uh, strange new worlds. Strange New Worlds, sure. Which they're filming now is my understanding, so that'll be good. Yeah.

Anyway, thanks, Dan, from Rhode Island. Both those people texted us from our number, 80147-10462. And a reminder, you can use that number to text us, but you can also use it to leave voicemails, which we are happy to play on the show. I just hardly ever mentioned that, but you can leave a voicemail, and if it's not five minutes long, we'll play it here. Okay. All right.

That's Sam. There's probably has got to be a little. limit an audio limit on the recording oh i don't know i've had some people well maybe i've had some people go six seven minutes just because it was like a butt dial or something and just sat in their pocket so it it doesn't seem to but i'm sure that at some point that if it detects silence i'll bet it i'll bet it stops or something yeah probably but though i got one once where it was just the guy's pocket going oh geez then i heard some i heard a middle like a mall going and a bunch of other voices in the background and i tried to make sense of it it wasn't good show

content so I checked it. Right. Oh, prepare. Prepare yourself for a four minute and 59 second recording from some smart ass. Yeah, with an Irish accent. Yeah, that'll happen. Hey, I think your mom called the show, Benjamin, very funny. I like that. All right, quick note, speaking of calls, I've been trying to figure out a more efficient way to do the feud calls on Wednesdays. So that's not today, but I wanted to put this out there. I think I've, figured out a relatively simple way of dragging people into a call that are calling us via discord or trying to get in via discord uh in order to do that though anybody out there who needs to be on with us or wants to be on with us okay or wants to participate listen if you need

to be on feud please yeah please please reassess your needs because that's weird but i but i respect you if you want to be on and uh we want you to be on so what i need you to do um it to try this experiment and this is just for live people people at home you no one's going to care about this all you can friend me if you want to but you need to friend me on discord which is for uh my name on discord is frog pants pound sign 1277 so frogpants pound sign 1277 uh everybody so everybody so that you can have a name that someone else can share it's like it's it's like blizzard same thing

blizzard does the same thing with with friends list if you there could be should I should I tweet out the pound sign you need the you need the pound sign though literally you do you do but some people call it like number oh you know frog pants number blah blah blah blah blah

well some people call it hash they do call it hash or hashtag you're on Twitter when I grew up it was pound sign wasn't it pound sign wasn't it pound sign when you grew up that's what we called it at 100% was because that's what all the that's what all of the touch tone phone companies would tell you to press yeah yeah you want to get to an operator press pound they'd say or maybe they were trying to say pound sand our phone system sucks i don't know

what they're saying i still like octethorpe octethorpe is pretty good i like that a lot i like uh i like empty uh tick-tac toboard that's pretty good that doesn't take much to say you know so you say frog pants empty tic-tac towboard 1277 there's the number anyway to find somebody to find the full tick-tac toe board uh key on their keyboard yeah good luck with that oh i see already seven people are doing this that's good we want this so what will happen is there will be a pool of you that i will then invite to a certain place within discord i'm still working on how to do that i should have a fixed today and then we should be able to pull them in based on a random pick so we'll be like you know there's 30 of them in there we'll we'll pick a number randomly between one and third

I'll say to Brian, pick a number between one and 30. I'll say to Dunaway pick a number and then we'll, I don't know, we'll figure that out. Oh, there you go. We do have a private Chan, you know, in the Frog Pan Central Discord, there's Private Chan. Yeah, we have all that. The problem is I can't pull people in there to our call, and we would have to leave this call to go in there. Well, no, I mean, we could actually do our show in the Private Chan. Oh, I see what you're saying.

And then people who wanted to play could go into play. play date waiting like they do when we have a play date and then we just drag one of those people into the private channel that's only a problem for guests because when we're pulling guests we have to pull them in a different way i don't know but getting getting play date waiting bill getting play date waiting yeah yeah we got to figure that out so anyway uh we'll work on it i'm going to work on it today we'll figure it out but if you want to 11 of you that's good if you want to get in there again that's frog pants pound sign 1277 you don't even have to be a part of the frogpants discord to do this by the way.

But why wouldn't you be? I mean, you should. You should. Yeah. Because it's open and free and just get in. Yeah, you should. But if you don't want to, it's fine. You can just do this thing and it'll make you get in.

So anyway, there you go. That's all I want to say about that. Let's move on. Cool. No more Gorka, no more Lorca. Time for the news. Today's news, it's brought to you by Soundography, featuring the last you got to listen to this episode of the season with

Brian with me and War of the Worlds, that awesome Jeff Wayne War of the World's recording. If you have not heard that album. I haven't. Oh, my God. It is... I didn't even know this is a thing. You need... This is some great stuff. Now, you almost want... You want to do the original, but there are newer versions out there that have Liam Neeson and all these other, like, you know, big names on it. But the original is the one to listen to. So this is a music thing or both? It's like a story.

It's a rock and roll musical without, with no video. Like it is a, is a musical presented only as audio. And it's, and it's, The War of the World's based on the original H.G. Wells, not this Tom Cruise crap, not this, you know, the, uh, Orson Welles thing.

You don't like the Tom Cruise movie? I do like the Tom Cruise crap. And I like the Orson Wells thing too. But, um, but there's a, there's an authenticity to the original there's an authenticity like you've got you know characters that hg wells had in there like the artillery men and the and the guy and his wife and stuff like that so it's uh um yeah go boy put it on your put it on your next thing to listen to on spotify or apple

music or wherever you get your music the jeff wayne war of the worlds and uh carve out an hour listen to it and you will thank me at the end of that i am absolutely going to do that i didn't know it was a thing at all. How old is this? It is 77, I think. Oh, so it's, it is old. It's old, yeah. Maybe, could it be early? Is Richard Burton? That's who. I was trying to think of who the narrator is, uh, yeah, renowned actor Richard Burton.

And, uh, why can I remember? I know the name. Oh, that Richard Burton. Okay. Yeah. Did you be Dr. Doolittle or, uh, Shakespearean dude. Oh, was he Dr. Doolittle? Really? God, why I could be, am I wrong? Am I thinking of somebody else? Oh my gosh, he's older than Henry Kissinger and Henry Kissinger's still alive. That's weird. No, he's younger.

I'm sorry. He was, this has been blowing my mind. Everybody that was born 100 years ago. Yeah. Is mostly dead except for Henry Kissinger, Bob Barker. Those are the two. Like we talked to it yesterday. And Richard Burton was born two years after them and he died in the 80s.

Oh, wow. Oh, Rex Harrison was Dr. Doolittle. Yep, thank you, TRPW. Well, it was Richard. Richard Burton was, yeah, like Scott said, a bunch of Shakespearean stuff, but wasn't he also like a... Cleopatra, I think. Oh, maybe that's what I'm thinking of, yeah. Let's see here.

You can tell you real quick. He was. Yeah, there was even a video game based, a 1984 computer game based on this version of War of the Worlds. Oh, no way. That's cool. Yeah, yeah. I kind of want to see that now. Yeah.

It was pretty bad. Let's see. Was it bad? I watched some video. You could either play as the aliens or you could play as the humans. And it was kind of like, almost like risk where you're trying to take over as much of the UK as possible. Wow. That sounds weird.

Alexander the Great he was in. He was in Wuthering Heights in the 50s. A bunch stuff with Elizabeth Taylor, Camelot, Cleopatra, and, you know, they're making that new Cleopatra. And you know who's making that? So they're redoing Cleopatra entirely. Starring, Anya Taylor Joy. Nope, they got the Galgadot you were talking about yesterday. Oh, really?

She's perfect for that. Gallagadots. Galagadots. She'll be in it. Galagadots. I love Gallagadots. And then being directed by Denise Villeneuve, who's taken, I guess this is after he finishes Dune part two.

He'll move on to that. I think that's his next thing. I am all in, dude. All in. Bring it on. Wow. That's cool. So excited.

Did you know that Richard Burton was married to Elizabeth Taylor? No. Not once, but twice. Whoa, really? Yeah. Did they meet it? Married 1964, divorced in 1974. Married again in 1975, divorced in 1976.

Oh, man. Then he died in 84. Really thought those two were going to make it. Dang it. He drank a lot. Looks like he was a big drinker, according to this. Yeah. Well, anyway.

Anyway, there you go. So, Jeff Wayne's musical version of the War of the Worlds. Also featuring music by Justin Hayward of Moody Blues, David Essex, Phil Linot of Thin Lizzie. Yeah. That's great. It's so good. Yeah. I like a good thin Lizzie.

Let's like something get ordered at like a deli or something. I want a thin Lizzie, please. Lizzie Zero, I think, is what the band would be called now. It wouldn't just be Diet Lizzie. It would be full. It would be Lizzie Zero, yes. Diet Lizzie in the 80s, but now it would be called Lizzie Zero. Time passes.

All right. Here's your first story. There was a man stuck in the snow. He decided to break into a school. He spent two days cooking and shooting hoops in there. And I kind of love it. It's like a weird version of Castaway. Yeah.

A bunch of Wilson's. Start talking to his basketball, give him a name. Right. Let's see. A man in upstate New York broke into a school over Christmas break and spent several days inside, cooking in the classroom and playing basketball in the gymnasium, a word I hate. I hate that word. Just say Jim. Just say Jim.

It's fine. They don't have to say. I don't know why the article had to. But then he gets confused with the name, right? Like. Oh, good point. Yeah. Yeah.

We can't have that. My friend got stuck at a gay bar and a gym. No, how would that work? It would be, uh... Got stuck in a guy named Jim in an upstate New York. nobody wants that see driving on stay highway on christmas day 35 year old man got stuck in a snow bank near brownville they had real bad snow in upstate new york that week yeah they did it was really bad um small town near the canadian border according to jefferson

county uh sheriff's office press release uh the area had been pummeled by a blizzard leaving behind several feet of snow according to the police it appears the man uh then spent the next two days Habiting General Brown High School located nearby. He snacked on food from a concession stand and cooked in the home economics classroom. I love that. Like, cooked in the home ed classroom. I hope you got a good grade. I hope so, too.

I hope they give it. Maybe he didn't graduate from high school, and this gives him his GED just for doing this. That's right. Exactly. Why do they have inhabiting in quotes? Because he was inhabiting the school. I don't know. They don't need to quote it.

It's not like ironic. Yeah, there's no. Right. Inhabit? jiggery pokery going on that's he he inhabited it yah who news man they're just writing stuff who knows uh that's really funny says uh at one point he left the school to his snowbound vehicle it was an SUV still still got stuck but discovered that it had been disappeared um when he called the county officials he was told the car had been towed and they were trying to get in touch with him so he had

to get in touch with the towing company instead the man returned to the school stayed for another day hung out in there afterwards the man a resident of water time made off at the school school snowplow and that's how we got home. I love it. It's pretty great. You took my SUV? I'm taking the snowplow. I mean, what do you actually, are they, they don't say here, but are you going to charge

this guy? Like, I feel like you let this one go almost, you know? I think so, right? I mean, he, you know, this is, this was kind of like a way to save his life basically was like, I'm stuck. You got no other place to go. I'm just going to get to the school and stay warm. and

yeah i mean do you only want to throw the twinkies in the uh do you really want to throw the book out of him i would feel bad if you did just let it go or or you know have him pay back for any food he ate and all the stuff he did and if he broke anything you should pay for those things but don't like i don't think you should get like full larceny you know breaking and entering stuff i do want to watch the tech the the the the Netflix series that uh is going to be based on this guy and what he did in that uh school for three days i can't wait another Tom Hanks reference

was that movie where he was stuck in the airport and live there? Oh yeah, it was the immigrant. No, the terminal. The terminal. He wasn't immigrant though. So that's a good call there. But I heard that guy, that real guy, just died.

Oh, did he? And still lived there or something? Oh, no, really? You never got, I thought he... Because he was, like, he... The legal reasons he couldn't leave the airport, but he also couldn't fly back home. like basically right there was some combo of things let's see if i can find it oh yeah here it is

the terminal man marin marin carmi me how do you say his name age 76 dies at the airport where he lived for 18 years wow uh and reigning resident who's caught in legal limbo after his home country objected him as a citizen in 88 has died uh he was a refugee that had lived in terminal one's departure lounge in paris charles de gall airport from 88 to 2006 Well, wait, I thought it's still said he... Oh, yeah, maybe he went back to the airport to die. Hold on. Oh, yeah, no.

You know, I have one last thing on my bucket list. I must go back to airport and die. I don't know why he's Armenian, but we'll take it. I don't either, but that's... I can't do an Iranian accent. It's totally fine. As per reports, the man died due to a heart attack in Terminal 2F of the airport. Oh, not even in the departure lounge.

No. Midday on Saturday. They tried to resuscitate. They couldn't. Let's see. He wrote an autobiography while he was there. This is crazy. What a weird deal.

Yeah. Anyway. Yeah, he died. Tom Hanks is alive and well, though, everybody. Don't worry. Yes. Yes, and has a new movie coming out that... Oh, Mr. Pitz or something.

What's it called? Two hours of watching him. We've got a Snickers bar with a fork and knife. I finally turned that into the big screen epic it was always meant to be. Muslim buddies, the movie. Yeah. What's this called? I'm going to find it.

A man called Otto. That's the name. Man called Otto. Okay. He's a producer-in-acting in it. And that looks interesting. You're right about the double T. Yeah, I was close.

That was close. Could they make a bosom buddies remake, a reboot or whatever, in 2023? like what uh they could they're doing it with these other shows i you know if they're going to make it that 90 show if they're going to make a new night court like yeah but is but are people dressing up as women to live somewhere is that funny anymore oh they would have to they would at the very least either have to change that whole story arc or yeah it would have to be you know flip it to be well they're going to pretend to be because back then that meant gay because people were dumb and that was the joke that was the whole like jack trip

or uh right so what they do now is they would want to join an actual gay sorority or you know whatever it is and they have to pretend to be gay but they're not they could maybe do that because then you can explore social issues and have it be a little wink wink and then and not have that be like a positive thing to be lying to everybody but have it be a problem you know what I mean they could do it they can pull it off or don't have it about that at all just have it be like I don't know I think you redo it here's how you redo it And here's how you make it good. It's a couple guys who are broke and figure out that they can live really cheaply in a retirement home.

So they use lots of makeup to make themselves look like they're 80 years old. Oh, my Lord. And they have to act old. No, this works. Instead of acting like women, they have to act old to live in this place. That's a great idea. Instead of, ageism is way less of a problem than sexism and gender equality. I mean, you're still going to have, yeah, you're still going to have ages and jokes, aren't you?

Oh, yeah. You definitely will. That's what I'm saying. Like, you could do that and get away with it more, I think, than, and then what you do is you stack the- Do we have to watch Matlock again? But you've got to stack your cast with amazing old actors that are really sharp and funny and, like, take the stage and really kick the butt. And below the whole, you know, age. ageism stereotype the you know like oh i thought we'd be living here and watching and playing bingo

and going to bed at five o'clock every night icore wants to call it sagging bosom buddies that's fantastic that's really good dude also bio-cals boomer buddies boomer buddies might be our title today congratulations on that already that's very funny golden buddies Golden buddies I like all these These are all good Yeah All right

Here's a story for you After that guy in New York Let's talk about this guy An arsonist No one likes an arsonist No I can't think of an arsonist Anyone really likes

I can't think of an arsonist Like could you think of anybody The only The only person who I suspect might be an arsonist Is that little girl in the meme That's kind of looking With a smile at the camera with the fire burning behind her.

She did really well. At the height of the NFT craze, she sold that image for $800,000 worth of Bitcoin. Jeez. Nicely. Wait, like you did it right. But the bottom fell out and now whoever owns that is. Yeah, and now whoever owns that is like,

crap. Plus, it turns out it's still everywhere. Guy Fox. Guy Fox is a great, okay. Okay, Guy Foxx. There's the one arsonist. Yeah, one arsonist we can get behind, I guess. Just depends on which side of the conflict you're on.

Don't get in front of them. is the problem. No, never do that. I loved him in V for Vendana. That's such a good movie, dude. That movie's great. It's so good.

My favorite Guy Fawkes movie was V for Vendon. So here's the deal. There's arsonists set themselves on fire while, this is all by accident, while trying to burn down a California immigration center. I'm kind of glad this happened to them. Yeah, I am too. A video surface two arsonists,

setting themselves. are wholeness nests, I would call them. Setting themselves on fire while attempting to burn down an immigration services building and business in California. Fox 11, the local affiliate, which obtained the footage of the fire taken from the ring security camera, reports the incident to replace on Monday. This was a company that provides immigration and naturalization services to people. As seen in the above surveillance video, two unidentified masked individuals approached the business,

began dowsing the business, whether it appears to be gasoline or some other kind of lighter fluid, when one of the suspects attempts to light the fluid, the fire immediately engulfs both men the paris seen running away with flames trailing in their wake. Let's see if I can show this. I think there's gifts at least.

I hope. Let's see. I mean, I don't want them to die, but I do want them to be... No, no, I want their clothes to be burned off and they have a long walk home. Yeah, I want them to have a hard time. Let's see, if I can get this video.

Oh, God. Wow. Geez. Well, this is a problem is there. First of all, They're just throwing it everywhere. Oh, shit. Run, you dumbass. And then one of the falls over.

That's not a stop, drop, and roll. That is a, whoop. Throw the ring at these turds, man. I hate these guys. Throw the ring? Does I say throw the ring? Throw the ring at them. I didn't mean ring.

Throw the book is what I meant. Throw the one ring at them because obviously they are the fires of Mordor. I was reading a ring. ring camera right when I said that and it came out of his ring. Anyway, it says they responded to the fire. They've not been caught yet. But they hope that they can identify them and get them. I agree.

They have to work harder on that aspect to keep the community safe. We're a small business. We help many people. There will be people not be able to receive our services due to inactivity because of the fire. Yeah, that sucks. Go get those but holes. Yeah. Enist trees.

I might find them at a local hospital, possibly. yeah yeah check the burn unit at the local hospital although they're probably so dumb they went home and just wrapped themselves in ice and dealt with it you know yeah yeah because that's how dumb they are yeah uh hey get excited the satanic temple yes please get excited the satanic temple has a big deal coming up they're dedicating the largest satanic gathering in history in boston it's happening and uh the boston mayor will require masks at the event. Oh, good. That's good.

If it's satanic temple. Now, see, I have a question before I read this story. The satanic temple thing is all just a ruse to say, hey. It's all a ruse. They're not really devil worshippers, whatever that may mean to people. They're just kind of throwing things in the face of religion and tax-free status and all that. Isn't that the deal? It's like a, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

Uh, like a, just a title that gets the attention to the things that they are. I think so. Protesting. I think so. I don't know. I don't know this for sure. And I know someone in the chat will know, but it's like, my understanding is at least in some cases, like, like, there are people who think, oh, there are people that are sitting around doing devil worship. I don't think so.

I think this is just like, people are like, oh, you got your churches, you're all tax free and you can do whatever you want and you molest kids and you this and that. we can have a church too we'll call it the devils whatever take that you know like it's kind of it's kind of a screw you kind of thing I think so there's a Netflix documentary called Hail Satan

question mark yeah hosted by Dana Carvey oh hold on let's do this right if I'm going to do it Dale see oh look at that right at your hand tips or fingertips

right at my hand tips yeah I'm surprised this is one you haven't seen No, I would lie. That sounds my jam. I'll watch that. It does sound like your jam, yeah. I'll watch that. Hell yeah. That might answer my question. Well, anyway, Satanic Temple's dedicated to the largest satanic gathering in history to Democratic Boston Mayor Michelle Wu after the group wasn't allowed to deliver a satanic invocation at the Boston City Hall.

Satan con 2023 will take place in downtown Boston. Oh, it's the week we're in Vegas, dang. Oh, no. That's a shame. You got to make a big decision. decision. Are you going to go to Satan con or are you going to go to? Claire, are you still going to come see us now? Now that you've heard your competing con is that. She's the keynote speaker at Satan Khan. I don't think she looked at her schedule when she booked her flight to

Vegas. She might be Satan herself. She is Satan. Anyway, registered guests are required to wear masks and show proof of COVID-19 vaccination, according to the organization. Attendees must wear their N95 or disposable surgical mask, says the site. Gator. bandanas and cloth masks will not be allowed what are gators Gators are those those like neck

like basically you can just pull them up but they're like cloth rings that you wear around your neck and you can just pull them up over here one of these arsonous guys was wearing one of those I think probably yeah probably

seems like that would be a great it's what they call buffs on Survivor Oh really? I've never heard either of those things I guess I don't want to survive Buff might be the brand. Buff, buff gaiters.

Yeah. Drop your buffs. Weird. The theme of the gathering and celebration of the Satanic Temple's 10-year anniversary is Hexenacht

in Boston, German for Witches Night. I was going to say nocht is night. So which is Hexon. Sure, okay. Which is night. That makes sense.

Yeah. Which marks the ancient pagan holiday of May Eve. Which is night. And the feelings right. Oh, what a night. Do do, do. Yep, that's the song.

Oh, what a night. The night was also later changed to Walpurgus'nacht, to commemorate Walpurgia, a Christian saint who evangelized Germany and was said to have exercised demons from the sick. Sure, whatever. Yeah, good luck to him. Good for great work from that dude, but man, poor name, Walperja. Yeah, Walperja. Perga. Perga, perga, I don't know.

Yeah. The Germans. have these names. They struggle. It's it is what it is. Oh, I had something funny. Speaking of Germans and cars. Sure. Is the Germans? This is, we should play this anytime cars come up. Hold on.

Where is that? Be courteous and obey traffic regulation. We do lift stories, we do car stories, and I just got to play that more. Anyway, Kim's out driving Carter home from the university yesterday and it's raining cats and dogs. We've had nothing but rain for like 24 hours and no snow, which is weird, but it's been

warm enough that all the snow is melting and just tons of rain, which means I have poop soup out in the backyard. I got to go clean it up today because the dogs are gross. Poop soup. Yeah, it's gross. My favorite E-network TV show. Oh, it's the best. So anyways, she's coming home, and they're on the freeway doing about 70, and their windshield wipers are going.

V-V-V-Vort, and suddenly one of them makes kind of a weird fart noise, like it rubbed wrong. Oh, yeah. And then went, on the way out, went, fling. Like slipped off. Oh, no. and flew off like a freaking like a freaking twizzler off into the median yeah oh shoot it just landed in the median and then kim went the rest of the way home and it was her side too so she had to go the rest of the way home like kept having to put a rag out there because it's dirty water from all the snow and i or uh sure i'd also be worried about the metal the exposed metal scraping the glass now yes that's why she she had to turn that off to pull up she pulled over twice to clean it up because it got so dirty and then the rest of time just like eagle eyeing it the best she can It was a little intense.

But thanks, thanks, volts wagon. Wing, fring. They both saw it happen. She said it was like slow motion. And there was nothing they could do. No. Because they're doing 70. You're just watching, you're right.

You're watching those last swipes as it's coming loose. Yeah. I would have been, it would have been all kinds of angry. Anyway, final story. Yep. A biker got caught after posting his police chase on TikTok, dumbass. Oh, nicely done. I love it when they're, they're dumb enough to social media, their crimes against humanity.

Yeah, this is how you identify people. This guy's an idiot. Biker in Georgia, no offense. Amy, don't worry. We know, we're fine. Some people in Georgia, I guess. Anyway, Biker and Georgia was on the run from the law and almost got away with it. That is until he prematurely posted about his victory in social media.

The Clayton County Police Department issued arrest warrants for the unidentified motorcyclist. What I got away with it, too, if we weren't for those TikTok teams. He uploaded a video of themselves chasing or chased by the police on TikTok and YouTube. According to the local affiliate, the motorcyclist was being chased by Georgia State Patrol and managed to throw them off the trail. However, authorities were able to identify the make, excuse me, and model of the rare sports motorcycle through footage posted online of the chase itself using investigative software. As it turns out, there was only one of those vehicles registered in that area and the authorities were able to track down. owner. They're also found photos of the motorcycle on the suspect's social media accounts.

Don't. Don't. The video is posted on the Clinton County Police Department's Facebook page and shows the driver speeding on the interstate while maneuvering through traffic and in between cars. The police department celebrated the arrest with a siren and a police car emoji in their post. So everybody's getting all social media up in here. Yeah. Well, you got to, you know, play into the joke now.

so that's just fine. This made me think of, is there anything I have currently sitting on social media from all the years I've posted to it that would ever be, so if I then went and committed a crime. Yeah, like if I did some,

let's say today I went and committed some crime. Yeah. Is there anything in the history of my total post, social media post, that they could go through and suss out and find something that would give. Yeah, there were a bunch of photos of you wearing some sort of pelt, face paint,

and horns and walking around with a, a government lector Yeah, that happened. I mean, no, I didn't. I was home on January 6th. I didn't go anywhere. The frog panty and shaman. What's that guy doing? He got...

He's in jail still. He is in jail, right? He was one that got time, I think. He was one that got time, yeah. Same with the dude who put his feet up on Nancy Pelosi's desk and, like, all these people who put social media video of themselves. Oh, yeah. So the guy that broke in his office and put his legs up, he is definitely in jail.

He's definitely in jail. And he wrote you bitch on a piece of, like, on one of her documents or something. I just don't know how bored you have to be to do this. Let's see. I'm bored. I mean, those people, I guess they're not, I mean, if your life. For the likes, baby. How hungry for likes.

I guess so. Here he is. He's the shaman. Yeah, he's in jail. He's in jail. His mom's still complaining that he isn't eating. right in there. I feel really bad for him. I'm very sad for the Q&on Chaman. The Yellowstone Wolf. Are they otherwise known as the Yellow Stone Wolf? Yep. Lame. All right. Well,

that's your stories for the day. We're done with news. That means we're taking a break before we do that, though. I'd like to mention that Bill is in the wings, ready to talk about maker stuff. And then after that, some time with Bobby and some science. All of that will happen after this song from Brian Abbott. Yeah. Well, this one comes to us from Al Alberta, Canada, so I don't know, you know, in English, in American, it's two minutes, 34 seconds, I don't know how that translates to Canadian time. But it's a band called Trashed Ambulance. They have a brand new single called Syntax Air, and it's spelled with a C-Y for syntax as opposed to S-Y. As if you're a fan of the flatliners face-to-face or pulley, you're going to love this.

This is some great punk rock right here. Here is the band Trashed Ambulance and the single syntax error. Another year His crumb to passing time will tell if it was better than the last Another beer For all the people around the globe who are lucky enough to know This happy day

When a lot's upon this earth's forever chasing better ways All want your head You better have a smile on your face on your face for the entirety Oh Oh Oh Oh

We hear the call Oh Oh Oh Oh My dream All MXPM

Yeah Was it big That we passed in Your main event That night Family You say that somehow It's pronounced

But I'm not looking for a fight 2,000 miles from our own But you and Bruno never let us feel alone She's intact ever loose a blocking whatever Kick you terrier She won't She won't be pushed around She understands around

Yes. Courtesy a thousand islands, records. They're great on salad. That's Alberta Canada's trashed ambulance and a brand new single called Syntax Error. Nice. That's excellent stuff there. It is excellent stuff.

All right. It's time to punish our props. Yeah. Give props to the Prop. Props ain't gonna punish them soon. Yeah, who's gonna punish these props if he doesn't come in here and do it? Your bat caves open there, Bill.

Nobody is the answer. Hey, it's Bill Duran joining us talking about MakerStuff from PunishProps.com. Bill, welcome back to the show. Hello, good to be here. Hey, you informed me yesterday that we have been friends, at least on Facebook, for 12 years.

I think it was 14. 14 was it? Oh, my gosh. Something like that. How is that even possible? Long time. Yeah. Yeah, that's weird.

I remember, okay, first time I ever saw Bill, 2010, nerdtacular, we're at a pizza place. And I show up there. I think you're there, Brian, with Tristan and Tina. Probably just Tristan in 2010. Oh, it might have been just Tristan. Tina didn't come to nerdtaculars until we had them at Gillian, or not Gillians.

What was that place called? Noah's? Noah's. Noas, thank you. So 2011, the very next year. Was that? Okay. Yeah.

It was my point. Oh, my point was, I remember him standing there, and I remember thinking, and I saw your wife, and I remember thinking, she is a lot taller than he is. Yes, everyone has that reaction. We have that initial reaction. But then since then, you know, I see you and Britt, I don't even think about it. But at the time, it was like, wow, he is either very small or she's very tall. Two makers, a podcaster, and a pizza place. That's right.

Those were good times. Anyway, hey, welcome back. It's good to have you here. Let's dive in. What are we covering today? When you guys were kids, you ever put together model kits? Oh, yeah. Yes.

Brian, what? Those Aurora models were all over those. What were you the most in? Like, it was like, well, tell me what kind of models did you have as a kid, Brian? Because I think all I had was cars and crap. It was boring. Yeah, I did. For me, it was all spaceships.

It was, you know, Millennium Falcon. It was Frankenstein. It was the ad-at, AT-A-T, whatever you're, or whatever the, the appropriate Star Wars pronunciation of AT-A-T-T is. Yeah. I remember we went to the Air and Space Museum and I got an X-Wing model. Oh, nice. By the time I was done with it, it was more glue than plastic. Specifically, the canopy, right?

Yeah, right. The transparent part of the... Any part that's supposed to be transparent, right? If it got a little bit of super glue on it, it just crazed and turned completely opaque. Right, and it was like fingerprints, fingerprints in like an opaque yellow. Yeah, yeah. We're using super glue. Why aren't she using, like, testers model glue or something?

Because I was seven, Brian. Okay. Because this stuff can make a guy hold with a hard hat stick to the bottom of a girder. It'll definitely work for an X-wing fighter. That's what they told us when we were kids. Yeah. We know what was up. That makes sense.

I don't know about you guys. I never got sick of putting together kits. It's still just so much fun. Obviously, Lego scratches that itch. Oh, yeah, big time. I used to go to this place called Hammond toys, or maybe it was Hammond Hobby. I forget. They're not around anymore, I don't think.

But it was this local place. And they had everything. They had trains and cars and planes and vintage stuff and I guess probably robots and other cool stuff as well. But it was kind of mind-boggling how they would vary for me. So one car would be like easy. Like, oh, I put this together in a day and I did a good job and look at that. And then we'd say, all right, let's do this airplane. That looks easy.

And it would take us weeks and be broken and stuff. So I never, that always felt like a very inconsistent experience for me as much as I enjoyed it. Sure, yeah. And I know that a lot of model kits are designed for different ages and complexity levels. I've put together a bunch of store bought kits. But more than that, I've been fortunate that I've been able to get a lot of really fun, like, fan-made kits of things. Obviously, lots of props, my friends and I both make, or all make space guns and stuff. Yeah.

But lately, I've been getting into more, like, models as opposed to props. Like a while, I got this quite a few years ago. I made a Mr. Handy model from the Fallout series, a robot. And he's like 20 different little pieces. you've got to glue together. So you can buy him as a set you're saying? That's a thing? I have a, I 3D printed that one.

Oh, that's cool. I completely made the kit myself and then I molded it and cast it. See, now that was my question. Can you, if Brian or anybody else with a 3D printer, can you go get these model kits as 3D, you know, make them yourself and then? Right. Like if they even come on the spruce, like basically you print a, really? with about five parts on there.

Oh, that is so classic. I make sense that you would do that, though, right? Yeah. Yeah, totally. Yeah, it would be fun. Yeah. I was just in a hobby town yesterday, picking up some snips and

uh, uh, uh, exacto blades and stuff like that. And I walked through the model aisle and I was like, oh, man, that looks cool. Ooh,

I can make that and I didn't end up not getting anything, but there was some really cool Gundam. I do have a Gundam model that I got in Japan that I brought back and stole him and put together. Awesome. You should, Open it. Open Gundam style. Get that out there. Yeah. Let's just be the catalyst. Yeah, I'm kidding. I was in a Hobby Town last week getting paint for our current project. I did the same thing.

The models are all. They always look so neat. Tell me more about this Hobby Town. Is that everywhere? Can I go there? It's a chain Hobby Town USA. It's just a national hobby store chain. Let's see if Utah has me. I don't know if they have them where you are. They're good. Like they've got like tons of RC car stuff and RC airplane, but also filament now. I can go buy filament there if I need to. It's where I go for paint. When I need paint, I go there. Yep, me too. Most of my paints are model paints from there.

They also sell a lot of really neat raw materials. You would, like you can buy a pre-made kit, all sorts of pre-made kits, but in their section with styrene plastic. If you take a peek at the display of that, there are sheets of plastic that all have different textures on them. And also little pieces of extruded plastic that are meant to look like eye beams or different shapes. tubes. It's an insane variety of shapes and stuff that you can get in the little piece of a plastic. What's cool about that is

that I take pictures of the stuff I 3D print either to put on just on Twitter or if I'm selling something and put on Etsy. And I'm always looking for like, oh, this could use a really cool background. And I forget about going there and just getting the stuff that they use for

model railroads. It would be like perfect backgrounds for a giant ex-a-lottal lizard. or something like that. That's the way you do it. Don't do a traditional like mountain scene for your trains. Do like a badass. Have it like it's the, you know, a monster movie basically.

Oh, sure, an alien planet. Yeah, love that. Yeah. That's cool. So I'm putting together something right now. Technically it's a prototype from a video game. We're actually working with the company. I'm not going to spill all the beans, but you guys know in a couple weeks.

Cool. But the long and short of it is, we had got the 3D files from them and 3D printed all of them on our resin printer and now I have basically the coolest model kit ever it's a prototype design for manufacturer so it has all the screw holes

and everything and it's split up into lots of different pieces for manufacturing so it's really nice that is a lot of footwork you don't have to worry about right? I know right and then I'm stoked because today I get to put it all together we've been painting all these pieces but today is a day where I get to sit down

with my cool model kit put it all together and I got to tell you I'm stoked yeah you've never looked more forward to a Tuesday in your life than today yeah I woke up thinking about this but like there's there's something about the putting together a thing with lots of little pieces that just scratches a particular it's for me something about having lots of little parts especially if any of the parts can move or have lights which this model has moving parts and lights which gets me actually excited. And it's also the sort of thing that I want to do more of.

And I want to design more of because like you guys were saying, if you could just give out or sell a file that people 3D print and they just pop it off the build plate and glue it together or screw it together to make the little kit, that just sounds fun. That sounds like a fun thing to make. All right. So I'm in my head this whole time. I'm like, is he dropping any hints to help me figure out? And I haven't figured it out.

So well done. I've technically said a lot. A lot of hints. I'll give you one more. It's going to be a very satisfying build. Oh, but then now I know. It's what I thought is it's absolutely from Sex with Hitler 2 available on Steam now. Get it now while you can.

Sex with Hitler. That's the sequel to Wolfenstein. Yeah, the sequel to Wolfenstein, Sex with Hitler. That's an actual game and people buy it and someone even offered me a key and I don't want to ever see it. But that's the thing. It's real. Yeah.

anyway now I know and that's fantastic to hear you obviously have a lot of love for I mean yeah if there's anybody that that they need to tap on the shoulder for that it is you right right the stars align it's a really really neat project yeah and we have actually have again more I'm going to be vague again but we have a couple of other video game companies that have actually reached out to us to do some projects and they're like the video the exact video game companies that I would I would want to work with it's been it's been kind of surreal lately yeah that's great look at you 2023

goals this is great that's awesome the other one that we're going to be starting on soon won't happen for a while but it is I'm even more excited about that one really yeah I smell a smell a little Starfield something in the future do I smell no it's not Starfield

but if anyone it's Bethesda wants to reach out for me to make Starfield stuff yeah Bethesda look you and Bethesda long history you know Lots of cool stuff going on. Let's make that happen. I used to work at Microsoft. They're going to be owned by Microsoft or they are owned by Microsoft.

Yeah, they are now. They're 100% owned by them now. So, yeah, why not? Yeah, just get in there, get that done. Yeah. So anyway, to let that be a, I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who make model kits that you can download a print yourself. So anyone out there with a 3D printer looking for projects, maybe add that to your keyword search, like model kit. Nice.

Or go buy a model kit. kit. Go buy a model kit. Go find a hobby lobby has them, too. If you've got a hobby lobby as horrible as they are for everything else. And they're, don't they have crappy views on stuff? But anyway. Yeah, they're kind of poo-poo heads over there.

Yeah, I got... At the Hobby Town, I got a... One of those... It's a flat sheet of metal, like really thin metal, and then you pick the pieces apart and fold it, and then I ended up making a... Oh, yeah. A Dolorian. Yeah.

A little... Yeah. something rare not rare earth what do they call that like yes i've got a i've got a a tie fighter and i think a captain america shield that that uh oh yeah and it's got that real nice metal shine on it red yeah the red metal and white metal and stuff yeah that's so if anyone's looking for a fun project looking for something that scratches that creative edge could put together a little model kit it's like it's i can see the lorian right now and i'm remember about you know how much of a paint It's so tiny. I needed tweezers to put it together.

Yeah. Sometimes it's fun, though. Little stuff is kind of fun, right? Little tiny details and stuff. That's right. And go to a Hobby Town, USA. Avoid Hobby Lobby if you can. Oh, good news.

I did a search in that Hobby Town is, there's four or five locations here, and there's one just up the street. Oh, good. Yeah. I had no idea. I don't know why I've never been. Be prepared to, like, spend some money because that place is so fun.

Oh, yeah. I think I'm going to. They won't know me, but, you know, they'll send me. me some punish points they call him and we'll get that all done. Bill before you go today and I can't wait to see this project

as it evolves but do you have a little bonus link for us before you go? I do this is a YouTuber named Tyler Bell and he is I learned local to Seattle so local guy I don't know him but I started chatting with him yesterday because I just

watched this video and it's really exciting he made a video becoming an action movie star and he built a jump ram it's a thing you jump on that sends you flying for stunts and it looks like so much fun yeah and uh anyway so i reached out to tyler so that we can become friends and that he'll let so hopefully he'll let me jump on his on this thing oh look at that dude that's so rad just like in his backyard hey want to come over and get thrown by my jump yeah and i'll do a backflip like that guy i'll film it don't worry guys i'll film before i go to the hospital i'll film

me doing a backflip. This looks like simultaneously awesome and dangerous. Yeah. Well, he did all the pro-typing himself. I'm sure he's got it all figured out now. I'd spend all day jumping off then. That's ridiculous. All right, that's awesome.

Go check him out. Tyler Bell on YouTube is the channel. Becoming an action hero is the video in my backyard. Bill Duran, always a pleasure. Don't forget to check out Punish Props.com. and, of course, his YouTube channel, Punish Props, and follow him on Twitter at Chinbeard. Bill, have a great week.

We'll see you later. Thanks, you too. Oh, my God. If you still have that video up, go to nine minutes and... Nine what? Nine minutes, 49 seconds. Okay, hold on. Pulling it up.

Here, chat. We'll let you see this too. Yeah, you got to let the chat see this one too. There, here you go. Let's he set it off by clicking it. Oh, I'm scared. No, you have somebody who does it. All right, here we go.

The anticipation's killing me. All right, here we go. He's squatting down. Oh. Isn't that great? Just enough to, like, jar him, but not enough to actually fling him. Yeah, that's probably not the greatest stuff I've ever seen. That's amazing.

All right. Always good stuff from Bill. fun to have him on today. All right. Bobby turn. Bobby turn. Let's get Bobby in here to talk some science, get it through our thick skulls, how things work. Very exciting. Science indeed. We have with us, Bobby Frankenberger, who joins us as he does each and every Tuesday that we can. He's not flying like a fancy boy. That's right. He comes in and joins us and talks about science. Science. First of all, how is all that going? Are you like a genius now? Are you like a flying? Are you? Oh, I am the best. Yeah. Um, I did fly today, by the way. I heard her in the pre show you talked about

how I wasn't. So I, you were grounded. Yes. I thought you're. No, I, um, so I, I, I usually, you, you think, you might think that because I often let you know ahead of time. Oh, I'm flying and there might be a conflict and just a heads up. Sure. The only time I tell you that is, is if I think it might run late. It's usually 9 to 11. So I was up and down, hanging out, flying around, all of that, and down and listening to the morning stream on the drive home all before you guys started. How many times a week do you fly?

I try to fly two times a week, but sometimes I get three. More often things get canceled. Does it always really early in the morning? Like, what time do you go? I try to go in there earlier in the morning, mostly because of the kids. I do it while they're in school. Oh, sure.

Don't you ever worry that, like, I had some coffee this morning. I'm going to get the coffee poop. The jitters. I do quite often, like just today even, when I get out there, he sends me out to the plane to pre-flight and inspect the plane and everything before he joins me,

and he comes out to the plane, and he's like, ready to go. He's got everything, and he's walking out, and I'm like, I was walking past him to go back into the airport, and he goes, what are you doing? I was like, I got to pee, I'll be right back. Yeah, you got to pee.

Because, yes, I drink lots of coffee. You don't want to be up in the, you know, I don't know how high you go on those planes, but you don't want to be 20,000 feet above the earth going, oh, man, I forgot to pee before I left. Yeah, you don't, you know how you don't want to pee in like an airline airplane, like one of those. Well, in a SESNA, four-seater, you've got a, there's a bag you put around your junk in the backseat. Really? You guys have that? thing? I don't know if this plane has one actually, but that is a thing you can buy is just something to

That's great. That's great. It's like the stadium pal or whatever they call that thing. Yeah, you just, you just pee into it. Because you can't, what are you going to like land the plane and go to the bathroom? Crazy. It'd be crazy talk. Chat room. Tom Norm does us. He's almost, it's almost like he's doing a little bit of chest pounding here. He says, that's what wide mouth bottles are for. What are you saying there, Tom? You need a wide mouth bottle. Is that what you're saying? Hmm. Interesting. Trying to tell us how big your junk is. I get it. I get it. Anyway, it's good to have you here. Let's do some science. Lay it on us. What is scientifically significant this fine day?

There's a, so there's a, for stargazers, there's some news happening. Something cool is coming. There's a comet that is going to be coming by, and it's green. Oh. And it hasn't been seen before. I'm sorry, why is it green? What's that about? It's just the composition of the comet makes it so that when light interacts with it and it starts to off-gas stuff, it's green.

Okay. There's hydrogen makes up the cloud and then some other elements and it just looks green. Huh. Interesting. But it hasn't been seen since the last ice age, roughly 50,000 years ago is the last time it was around Earth. Oh, my gosh. And so it was just spotted earlier last year in March. And now it's about to be here.

Have you guys ever seen a comet before? Yes, but only the, what was that one where the psychos all thought that they were going to get picked up and taken to heaven? Hail Bob. We saw that. Mbop, I believe it was called. It was that 90s? It hits the top. I think it was 90s.

That's as far as that joke can go. 97 or 98 or something like that? Whatever the year was. I know I was in middle school when it came by, so 98 sounds about it. That sounds about right. Yeah, I remember seeing that. It was real vague and also cloudy and was hard to see. And we had used somebody's telescope.

The cult, what were they called? Heaven's Gate. Heaven's Gate, right? There's a great documentary on Netflix about those people. There is, might be HBO. I forget. But it's, man, what a freak. They were the Kool-Aid ones, right?

Yeah, they were the cool. Well, they're the ones. They're one of the Kool-Aid ones. The Kool-Aid's in a yes. Brian's right. And they all wore the weird suit, uniform things. Yes. But that's where the phrase comes from, the, drink the Kool-Aid.

No, that comes from the Jim Jones thing before that. Does it really? Yeah, the Ghana thing. It was before my time. He made everybody drink the Kool-Lade before he shot himself. That guy was terrible. See, here, all of them suck. Okay, look, this culty business all sucks, but.

At least the hail-bop people all kind of just went all in and made the decision for themselves. They could leave if they wanted to. They didn't have to do it. Yeah. But Jim Jones, like, made people do it, murdered people while they were trying to leave on a plane, shot himself in the head like a coward a hole. Like, I'm not saying, I'm not trying to say one is good and the other is bad. I'm saying I more appreciate the one on the level of like you can go if you want to, you know, you can get out of here. You don't have to do this.

If you're to find the silver lining in cult mass suicides. Right. Sure. That's where it is. Yeah. But the cyanide lace drink thing, I think, was, I don't know if it inspired them, but that was definitely a Jim Jones thing. And if you've never seen a documentary or anything on that, that is some weird shit right there. The Jonestown thing.

Yeah. It's bad. Anyway, on that fun note, let's continue on. Well, I haven't heard of any cults related to this comment yet. yeah not yet but um they have a name did you give it a name or is it not have a name is a number it does have a name the name is uh very pithy it is a comet c slash 2022 e3 zt f oh i'll never forget it oh that's that sounds like something Elon Musk would have named his kids they named it after one of Elon's kids that's amazing yeah yeah that's how it was named yeah okay cool and it but like

I said it was spotted back in March of last year. Its closest point to Earth will be on February 2nd, but that's not probably the best time to see it. They say your best chance to see it is probably on January 21st, and that is because of the moon. There's going to be a new moon at the time, so the moon will not be as bright. It'll be easier to see it. Okay. And there's no danger anything, it's not going to throw off anybody that tilts or accesses or a freaking no, even if it was coming real close to the earth the gravity is not going to be strong enough

to do anything like that and the closest point it's going to get on February 2nd like I said is about 27 million miles away so that is a 0.29a u astronomical units which is

an astronomical unit is the distance, the average distance between the sun and the earth. We being very earth centric humans. We like to base everything on us. That's true. That's true. It's all from our perspective. So we have to make it about us. How about this? The greenness of it? Is there any theory as to the makeup of it being perhaps minerals, oars or otherwise that we've never heard of? Do they know what's making it green? Like, we're better at that stuff. I actually didn't

dig too deep into what's making it green. But different comments. So I'd, The short answer is I don't know what makes it green, but most comets are mostly just ice anyway. And the funny thing about comets, this is a fun fact. Comet fun fact. Yeah, love those. Yeah, the nucleus of a comet, which is the ball of ice itself,

is usually about between like 1 and 10 kilometers in diameter. Did it always ice? It's always ice. Yeah, comets, that's what makes a comet a comet a comet, is that it's made up of frozen gas and rock all clumped together why is it so stoked to get the F out of there

you know like why is it always hurling somewhere you know what's the hurry where's the fire man it's on its way somewhere else it's just got to make a quick trip to see the sun and then uh whip around go home okay getting the heck out of here yeah so it's only one to 10 kilometers wide but what you see is this big glowing cloud

and that big glowing cloud can be as much as 2 million miles across which is bigger than a lot of planets in our solar system so it's actually very very big the glowing cloud that you see and the tail can be hundreds of millions of miles long

what is in the tail just gas and yep so as the comet comes into the solar system as it gets closer and closer to the sun the sun heats up the comet And that causes it to not really melt. What it does is it just, the word that is what's the chemical change or the phase change is leaving my brain. It's not evaporate, right?

It's not evaporate because that's liquid to gas. This goes straight from a solid state to a gas. And it's just, I just for some reason can't remember. Oh, like a burrito with me. Just all the state and gas. Sublimate. Thank you, Matua. Oh, okay.

Sublimate. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. That's sublimation every day. I do that with burritos. I had a smother burrito last night. Immediately turned solid in the gas. Yeah. It's maybe a little slender with me.

So what happens is that gas gets trailed behind the comet. You've heard that comets often have two tails. Yeah, I have heard that. That's because there's one tail is the comet is going in a direction, and the tail is trailing behind the comet opposite the direction. It's traveling like you would expect. but the other tail is the solar wind that tail goes in the direction

away from the sun oh right so like if you're watching a car do its aerodynamic tests and you see the that effect it's not the same but the effect of like you can see the wind traveling over the curvature of the car is it a little like that because you see that like if the solar wind's coming and it hits it it blows around the sides and comes out the back? Is that the idea?

It's not exactly that because the two tails are caused by two different things in a comet. The first tail that is going opposite the direction that the comet is traveling because the comet is not

going directly towards the sun. It's going obliquely towards the sun. It's going to go past the sun, right? Yeah. So the easiest way to imagine this is imagine that the comet is passing the sun and the sun is

to the comets left. let's say well there will be a tail going directly behind the comet in opposite the direction it's traveling but then the sun itself is blowing another tail off to the right of the comet because the sun's wind is pushing glowing dust and hydrogen and stuff like that away from itself because the sun's solar wind is pretty powerful wow god you wouldn't think it would be i didn't know it was that strong yeah that distance yeah yeah we don't we don't feel it here because we're protected by our magnetic field that's true yeah and then uh also killing murphy and all those other people went and saved us by shooting a nuke into it so that worked

out good yep um do you where do you stand on uh if we needed to let's say this thing was heading straight toward us all right yeah we've all seen the classic uh michael bay film armageddon where we send uh you know a bunch of oil workers up to the to the to the thing and they land on it and then they figure out a way to stop it what would we Are we prepared for such a thing? If one was aiming at us, it was as big as this one is, and it was coming straight trajectory on, do we do anything? Are we just screwed?

Well, so two things about comets, we would probably see it at least a little bit ahead of time, because they're decently big, and this, like I said, was spotted a while ago, but it was first spotted only back in March, right? That's not a long time to prepare for something like this. so so yeah so fortunately though the biggest way the big the most effective way to stop a comet made out of ice is to send heating blankets up there and wrap the whole thing up in just electric blankets okay you know this is as possible as marmageddon was so space heaters as well those have been floated by you're supposed to be stuck behind by the way putting those warming blankets on there yeah yeah absolutely I know this was a one way

trip. I'm kind of in the mood to watch that now. Dang it. I am too. That movie's so good. We talked about it a bunch on film suck, too, and I think we're just in the mood. Because it was so much better film than Moonfall. At me, Dunaway. Yeah, that movie sucked.

Dunaway just likes to be contrary. I'm bad movies. I'm telling you. You does. Yes, exactly. Well, it's interesting. I hope it continues to not be on a path to destroy us, but also be an interesting thing to watch as it goes by. So are we going to be able to see it?

line will be fun can we see it can i go out and look and watch this go by you you actually might be able to it would be hard to see right now um it's not quite close enough i think it's it's at its closest point to the sun right now which which also makes it difficult to see um which is that'll be on january 12th is when it's the closest to the sun i would wait a week or two and then you might be able to see it so if you want to to look again your best chance is on the new moon on January 21st or the day before or the day after maybe what you're going to want to do is look you have to be in the northern hemisphere so sorry Aussies you're not going to be able to see it okay so it's just the way the earth faces you have to be in the northern hemisphere but here

if you look out into the to the northern sky a little bit below just below the big dipper in the northern part of the sky you should be able to see it and if you wait until later maybe in very beginning of February you might be able to see it around Mars but your best chance to see it

with the naked eye is when it's the closest to us which is why I say January 22nd if you're a week out from that you might need binoculars or a telescope to see it Kipper rank of captain in the chat says

it's very low on the horizon. Good luck if you're in a valley. So I guess if you're low, you may not see it. Sorry, Scott. Is that the apogee? Is that when it's closest to us? Or is that just being like at the height, like when something's at the very highest that it gets?

Apagy. No, that's when you get Commander Keene on your hard drive and you play. Didn't they make, I think it was Apage that made that. I think Apagee is the highest point in its orbit. So that's... Gotcha. So it's orbiting the sun.

So the apogee would be when it's the farthest away from the sun. Gotcha. Let's see. Apogee. Point in orbit of an object such as a satellite, orbiting the Earth, that is, at its greatest distance from the center of the Earth. Also, the point farthest from the Earth would be apogee. It also is... Ferrethus from the sun.

That's what I want. Because they're defining apogee in reference to Earth satellites. But it's orbiting the sun. So it would be furthest from the sun. It's perihelian is the closest point to the sun. um oh what if you use it what if it's an objective epigian apagian what do we say in there when we say apagian apagian i think you might have spelled it differently than with an e p no it says apo g e a it's like apagy but but uh but as adjective i don't know so apagian

that's an apagian asteroid you'd say would you yeah i do i use that adjective all the time Epigeon. Great. That's fantastic. Well, I love this kind of stuff. So I'm going to be looking for it. Fart. I'm going to try and see it.

I've never seen a comment before. Sorry. There's a web site here that I'm on that'll just say all the words. And fart was on the page. And I'm like, well, that's not going to play. It played it. So that's fun. Well, you see fart on the page.

It might say it. You got to try. Oh, you have to click it. Are you kidding? Yeah. There's no rule saying you shouldn't. or something anyway uh watch for big giant green asteroids everybody they're coming for you whether you know it or not uh that's the lesson to take away from today bobby tell us about your

your awesome science show and what you guys are covering this week all around science is the name of the show so stop what you're doing right now well keep listening don't stop doing that um but go to a web browser and type in all around science and you'll find it um that is uh our podcast we do weekly science stuff and the last episode we just put out a month day was the second part in our dark series. We did dark matter the previous week. Now we're doing dark energy this week. And it's a 70% of the matter energy in our universe is dark energy. Whoa, really? Yeah. That's a high percent. That's like Apple's profit percentage when they work with an developer, the 30-70 split is what that is. So what you're saying is 70% of

the energy is going to dark and 30% are going, we need to, we need to change that. We need to get the, we need to make it equal, right? You know, the one, the one thing I love about you as a podcaster, you make these great analogies that make everything so easy to understand. Right. They're perfect non-sequit, or no, they're sequiters. No, I don't know. All right, Bobby, take it easy.

Have fun. Fly around a lot and we'll see you later. Bye now. All right. We're done with that. Let's get into a final text of the day. This is from Greg from Texas, who says, I had shingles in 2020. I was told it was a light case.

It lasted four months and only on my right side under my arm around the front of my chest. And it felt like a cattle prod. I am still numb in parts. So the point is, don't get shingles, you guys. It sucks. Oh, my God. Oh, for that long. I know.

Four months of that. And he's still having weird things. And so I guess what I'm saying is as rough as that second shot was for this fax. I'm really glad I got it because I don't want to do this ever, ever, don't want this. God, yeah. Even a mild case, as they described it to him. Four months of being cattle prodded. Good Lord.

Anyway, hey, some quick PSA here. We got some shows coming up and already out. Play retro today at 3.30 Mountain Time. We're talking about all the times Sega attempted and failed to reach the heights of the Zelda series. and Nintendo kind of won that battle but there's some really fun attempts in there we're going to cover those so watch for that I don't know if I know any of those that's

going to be interesting there's one called is it Legend of Senti I forget the name it's a terrible name but the game's really good and it just didn't get the coverage it needed to to get any kind of legs and there were other attempts I don't know they just never could quite pull it off we'll discuss why

that's today at 330 Mountain Time and of course on the podcast later also a brand new The Diablo show went up yesterday, did a big deep dive on Tereal and what his role might be in the new game coming out this June. So go check that out. A bunch of great calls and emails from that one as well. So I think you guys will enjoy it. That's the Diablo show, wherever you get your podcast. And a new skim went up as well.

Kim and I sat down and talked about her windshield wiper flying off into the meeting. Oh, good. That and how do you feed 100 Ukrainians? Well, if you want to know, find out on the latest episodes. It sounds like the beginning of a joke, doesn't it? It does. It kind of does. The point, the trick is, buy a lot of pork. They like the pork over there.

Sure. Anyway, that's, sorry, in Ukraine. I don't want to get any emails about me saying, the Ukraine. Yeah. We know now. You don't say how to feed 200 the Ukrainians. No. Nobody does.

Do you have anything going on? You want to mention before we get out of here? No, I don't. Not recording any podcast. I'm done podcast. podcasting Scott. That's it. He's out. I'm done. We're making the announcement now. Yeah. No, soundography just went up.

And what else? There was something else. Oh, the, I should have this TMS steam deck stand. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Up on Etsy later this afternoon. So keep your eye on Coverville 3D. Dotsy.com, I think is the... I think that's it. Yep. It's a subdomain, I think is how they do it. That's right. We'll make sure that goes up.

And when we do, we'll talk about it tomorrow as well. Yeah, we'll tweet the crap out of that and stuff. And then we'll go up and we'll talk about it tomorrow and stuff. Although by then I might be inundated with orders and you might be waiting a long time. You never know. Each one takes like 12 hours to print. It really does. I'm not kidding.

It's a long time. Anyway, that'll be great. We're looking forward to that. Don't forget our Patreon needs you. That's right. Patreon.com slash TMS. There was like some auto ads that ran out. in the show yesterday, and I had somebody write me and said, hey, is there a way to support

the show and not get ads? I said, well, if you'd hang around to the end of the show and hear me say this every day, the answer is yes. All you have to do is sign up on Patreon, even at the lowest amount, a buck a month, and you'll never get an ad. You'll get pre-show content every day that you wouldn't get otherwise right there in the same file. You'll get couch parties on the weekend, art in the mail, other benefits that you can only get this way. The T-level, that's still in there. It's amazing. We love working with Gwen. There's lots of other great stuff. So do check it out. Patreon.com slash TMS. And you know what?

I'm feeling generous. The next three people that sign up today. So it has to be posted on today's date. January 10th. Next three patrons we get, you all get a rad frog pants multi-pack in the mail. Whoa. Yeah.

Stickers, prints. Multi-mack. Multi-pack. What else? Maybe a couple of pins. I don't know. Something cool. I'll throw that together and get it to you.

So if you haven't done it yet, now's your time. Patreon.com says TMS. Now's the time for us to leave. Let's do it with a panache. Let's have a song. Now is the time when I play a song. Yes, Luke, aka A. What Not in the chat, said, sub-starbrain banana, as I've done for the past few years,

I'm requesting a cover of a song by Queen for my birthday. This year is a bit different in that it's also a request for my girlfriend's birthday. Any cover of, you're my best friend would be perfect. Let your mind go. as your dreams grow try to remember them so you have stuff for the show happy birthday monica miss your face thanks luke a whatnot in chat let's party it's really the worst best thing every time i hear it's so dark uh all right so i have played so many different covers of you're my best friend by queen on this show that i'm running out of of um

of really good ones thank goodness that a couple years ago, Michael V. Dohn released an album called 8-track back in 2017, which included a version that I forgot to label as a queen cover, and so I found it today and said, oh, I got to play this version. This is good. It's different, and that's the other thing.

It's got to be different, right, from the original. I've got one by horse feathers that's too much like the queen version. This is the one Brian rule I always remember. If your cover doesn't have these variations to make it unique, then he's probably not going to play you. I'm not going to play it. It's going to sit. It's just going to sit and collect dust.

Here is Michael V. Dohn, joined by Andrew Savalski, for a cover of You're My Best Friend by Queen. Who you make me live Whatever this world can give to me It's you, you're all I see Who you make me live now, honey Ooh, you make me live Oh, you're the best friend that I ever had

I've been with you such a long time You're my sunshine And I want you to know that my feelings are true I really love you Ooh, you're my best friend. Ooh, you make me live. I've been wandering around, but still come back to you. Rain or shine, you stood by me, boy.

I'm happy at home. You're my best friend. Who you make me live Whenever this world is cruel to me I got you to help me forgive Who you make me live now Honey Who you make me live

Oh you're the first one When things turn out bad You know I'll never be lonely You're my only one And I love the things I really, really love the things That you do Ooh, you're my best friend
