Jamming the airplane. breaks with Bobby and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. Look, pot marks take the time. Even steel wool can't do the job. But watch Ajax with blue chlorine, just a soft sponge and pot marks gone fast. Well, that's the quitting fart. See you Monday. Mad apes have the crystal lasers. Hello, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It is the morning stream for January 31st, 2023. I'm Scott, and that's Brian. Hi, Brian. Correct. Welcome to the final day of January

2020. Oh, my gosh, it is. Hey, something, speaking of dates, did you know that I'm going to be insufferable about this because at the end of this year, we are going to have a one, two, three, one, two, three. Oh, look at that. Yeah, no kidding. All right. Yep. I'm going to be the worst person that ever podcasted in the morning. It's really funny, too, because I was like, wait, one, two, three, one, two, three. But really it's one, two, three one, two, three. Correct. Correct. Okay, I got a fashion question just real quick. I noticed. Oh, yeah. I'm definitely the person to ask about that. I'm wearing this horde-assembled hockey jersey. that I got years ago. Right. Yes.

And I always forget why I don't wear it on air, but now I remembered. And I'm just wondering if this is a, if you're supposed to, in hockey jerse is, if this is just a built-in feature or if this is unique to this shirt. But it gives me fake little shoulder pad increase. You look like Savannah Guthrie on the Today Show with this, Scott. I don't like it. It bothers me. I feel, I don't know, I feel like I'm trying to look bigger than I am or something.

Sure, sure. I don't like it. Well, that's to threaten your predators. Yeah, no, it's, I don't know. I don't really even notice it. But, yeah, I guess, you know, you say it. It's like, yeah, it looks like extra penny. But I think for a hockey jersey, that that's completely fine.

Yeah. If this was a blazer, I'd say, sure, welcome back to the 90s, Remington Steel. Yeah, no doubt. Or a little bit late, oh, what was that show where they all had the Miami Vice? Women? No, that's like that's even better. I don't want to look like a designing woman. That was the worst offense to shoulder pads ever in the history of television was designing

women. I think you have nailed it there. No offense to fans out there. It was actually a character on the show, just shoulder pads. Yeah, her name was Shoulder Pads. Yeah. Delta Burke's Good Pal, Shoulder Pads, Jr. That's right, exactly.

Hey, check this out. So, you know, the great thing about our audience. I'll say there's many good things about you guys. You're all pretty cool. But what I like about you is you hear us say a thing, and then you're very quick to write in and either correct us or educate us or answer a question we may have had or whatever. Or just provide a guess as to something.

Absolutely. And we're 100% here to field your guesses and your thoughts, all right? By the way, before anybody writes in, Remington is still completely in the 80s. Did not even cross over into 1990. Oh, is that, I, you know what, I heard you say that, I didn't even question it. And I think it was just because I associate Pierce Brosnan with the 90s, even though. Oh, that's true, I guess. He had, he had left that and was on Bond Road by then.

She was on Bob Duty, yeah. Yeah, that's true. Because, geez, we got, Golden Eye was, what, 94? 95, yeah. 95, yeah. So it's like, yeah, you're right. And die another day was 2002. Tomorrow never dies.

World is not enough. Yeah, well, I still think your shoulder pad thing holds, though. Yeah, okay, all right. Yeah, forget about dates. The shoulder pads were bad. I course corrected with a designing women reference, so nobody noticed. That's a true magician. You just are doing sleight of hand.

Let's be staring into the skin. Anyway, we love our audience. We love them. They're great, and they answer great questions for us. So, for example, Carlos wrote in. I'm sorry, this is in response. This is Luke and Boulder. Oh, yeah, Carlos's original.

Correct. If you guys remember, I'll read Carlos again. He said, Hiscott and Brian, what's with the Fang? F-A-N-G, Carlos. All right, this was the other day. And we were like, we don't know. We tried to suss it out. We don't know.

So we get this message from Luke and Boulder. He's right there near you. He says, by the way, he still hasn't ever had Brian as a lift driver. I would love that. You know, I've had, I've given right to one person who knew me, but she was a former roommate of Tristan and Kay. But nobody else, like, I haven't had like a. Oh, my God, this is the Covermobile. You're Brian from Coverville or TMS or whatever, but not yet.

We've got a guy up the road who is the nicest guy. I never talk about him because I never know if it's okay to say his name on the air. But he has like a doppelganger dog of our, like looks just like Ripley. It's nicest guy. And he's been in here forever. And whenever I pass him, it's always a lovely conversation. He listens to, I don't know how many shows. He's listened to the instance for years.

Anyway, I forgot to mention he showed up on Christmas with like, a nice plate of homemade goodies. Oh, that's cool. He's super nice. I just don't know if I'm allowed to say his name because he lives so close. Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. He'll write it until I'm. Anyway, so we got this from Luke, who says,

regarding the guy who wrote in about the word fang, my guess is he was referring to your recent TMS episode that was titled TMS-211, paging Dr. Tang. Texts are typically typed out on phones. Phones auto-corrected. Tang to Fang. ipso facto there you have it i mean yeah okay but but why would you say what's with the tang yeah two two uh sticking points on this then you're saying yeah what's with the tang which you were

about yeah what you were saying is like that doesn't make any sense either just makes less sense actually than fang uh also tang is a word wouldn't really get auto corrected i don't think it would not just not just the product name but you know oh that that that a girl I kissed has a certain tang to her. Yeah, yeah. I get it. I see where you're headed. Why is that the first thing that came up?

I don't know. I'm going to type out tang. Yeah, it doesn't autocorrect anything. It just does tango and tangerine are other options, but I don't get anything that it corrects. Maybe he meant what's with the tango and cash. Maybe that's it. And it got autocorrected to fang.

Well, then the answer is, it's a great. 80s I think 80s it's a great 80s movie go watch it there you yeah oh yes sure uh all right well you guys you destroyed my car oh you you guys dude that movie we did film we did film suck that right my memory we filmed sac the crap out of that and I don't know that that as far as like guilty pleasures yeah that's right up there with Hudson Hawk for me yeah something just dumb that I love about that movie and it's yeah I mean, it's rats in the maze, and it's the dude with a massive jaw. Yep.

You broke that jaw? It also felt like prototype buddy cop what we were going to get from now on type movies. Like a lot of buddy cop movies were based around that. Or it was just the prototypical one. Yeah, I think it was prototypical. I mean, we'd gotten lethal weapon before that and a couple of other ones, but still it cemented that buddy cop, like formula. and took itself way less seriously than say even even even even even with all the joking around and lethal weapon movies they had they took themselves a little seriously sometimes right yeah yeah i like tango and cash they're just like eff it we're blowing everything up we're having a blast it's all good let's go tango and cash worth your time everybody even in 2023 okay now yes as i just said people often write in with helpful information sometimes they write

or call in with weird things. And I don't know what to make of this call we got, so I'm going to play it. Brian's first hearing of this. He hasn't been prepared here. Nope, nope. This is good, because I get to hear it fresh. That's right.

I get to hear it blind, basically. Here it is. I got this via our phone number, our voicemail line 801-47-10462, and this is what he said. All right. Okay, now I see why you're commenting about the noise I made when you called me on the Discord this morning. You were doing your little music jam and it reminded me of that.

So, all right, so he's, the caller is creepily excited about a box of tartan tini's, maybe. That's that it sounded like, it didn't, it sounded too bassy to be like tick-tacks is like more like a... Maybe, maybe, but definitely one of those long fly. boxes of candy and hard candies in there could even be uh mike and ikes oh that's possible yeah hot tamales because it was more of a box right not a tin it was definitely a box oh yeah definitely wasn't a box or a bag or a tin because i have a tin here of unopened um what are these something called mints with a why i don't know my wife got me these might these must be a hint and a mint anyway this is still in shrink wrap but that doesn't sound the same let's play his again

No, no. Hold on. That's close. It could be a 10. So it could be alt-oids. Could be. But why? Why grunting and breathing weird and then shaking alt-oids at the thing?

What's the deal? Let's try the alt-oids. Chat says junior mints. It'll be junior mints. They're so refreshing. See, there's the alt-oids. Oh, that is. Okay, hold on.

Do more of that. Yeah, you're, I feel. Here's this closer. Yeah, there's a little more base to it. Let's see. And it's hard with a phone call anyway because it's so tinny. But yeah, I don't know what. Now, as some are suggesting in the chat, that was Brian Dunaway, which is not so far-fetched.

You know, Brian's known for being a bit of a goofball sometimes. And he used to call me all the time and leave me weird voicemails. But he usually said who he was or didn't change his voice or tried to hide it. Let's see if I have one of those old things. Okay. And we'll compare it here. Okay, here's where he called me and said stuff. This is back to C.

This is 2014. Brian Dunaway. Here we go. My Gmoney Monkman is level 20. Scott Johnson. Okay. Don't know what that was. And then there was this one.

It is. It's been to my calling you. Brian Dunaway. You remember me, right? All right. Oh, wait. Says something on. I forgot.

Hey. Oh, okay. And then this one. What I call that, I call that cheating. No, that's not it. Okay, well, I have another one somewhere where he's even weirder. But the point is, he always announces himself. Yeah, yeah, he doesn't disguise his voice or just fail to announce who he is.

By the way, do you want to see why I have alttoids tin? So this is a still sealed in plastic alttoids tin right here. Yeah. Because I haven't taken it out and enjoyed the altitudes in it. Yeah. This is the one that I previously enjoyed all the alttoids from so that I could 3D print. Oh, right. Right.

Switch card holder. It is, so was that 3D file made for that exact tin? Yes. It was made for alttoids. Amazing. So like you can just pull out your little. Amazing. Have you been tempted to do the little toaster I've seen floating around?

You put the two little cartridges in and it actually ejects the cartridges. Yeah. No, that's too soon. It's a 3D print, but I don't know how you do the spring part. I don't know how you make them pop. Maybe it's just a lever and it's not fancy or, you know, I don't know. But the one I saw is a 3D-printed little toaster. It fit two of them, and on one side you could flick the thing,

and the thing would go chunk, and stick out. Really? It will pop them open. That's kind of cool, actually. But, I mean, that's, you know, only two, only holds two. Then we've got the Mario Brick. Oh, I love this one, yeah. This is good.

And then you open it up, and it's got your Switch games. Oh, my gosh. How many Switch games do you own that are physical? Well, six in there. You have more Switch games than I do. Well, I guess I have a lot of digital. You probably have a lot of digital. Physical, yeah.

Seven into here and probably like three or four still in the box. Oh, my Lord. How many of those games have you finished? Most of them, actually. Really? Which games are easy for me to finish because I can do those like sitting on the couch while Tina's watching some show or while we're watching some show I can actually finish. I do that a lot.

I mean, if it's, you know, Astraneer is one of them. And, oh, no, Asterineer is digital. But I'll never finish that because they keep adding new stuff to it. There's a whole new thing now. with Astraneer. I heard about that. I wanted to ask you if you tried it, and I kept forgetting it.

I have not. I've gotten back into Astrineer, but because I bought it on Steam so that I could play it on the Steam deck instead of the Switch, way better control system. Well, way better control system with keyboard and mouse, honestly.

So I'm back in on Steam. And I had to start over with new planets, so I'm only on the fourth planet, collecting all the stuff. So I can... It's awesome. Let's see. It's on sale right.

now too they must be oh it's this awakening update yeah yeah uh let's see what do they add here uh just i'm trying to i'm making me want to play a new quest line and and all that stuff i might have to play you i think you will yeah because i think you told me that you got you got off the first planet and then you start playing something else yeah i just got busy i've been and i've had that game since early access so it's just always sort of been there way way longer than i have Yeah, but you're way further than I ever got. But I love that, I love that game. Technically, I've finished the game to the point that it was released when I finished it,

but now they've added two extra things. I've never built a rail system on any of my planets. They added that after I finished. And then there's this new thing where there's like a whole new being that you're helping, um, helping with stuff in your, in your planets. I like, yeah, I like being. beings are cool all right I have to check out that update that sounds awesome

I've been completely hooked on Hitman the Hitman update they added oh yeah this is crazy they took the first three games Hitman 1 2 and 3 the 2016 game the 2018 game and the 2019 game whatever they were I don't know how they're spread out and they mushed them all together if you already owned Hitman 3 then you just

have it all but they all of those games are now one game and it's called Hitman World of Assassination Cool And so all the campaigns are in there, all the extra contents in there, all that stuff. Right now, it's like $38 if you don't already own it, or it's on Game Pass, the entirety of it's for free on Game Pass. That's the way to do it. Yeah.

Anyway, they added a mode called, oh, shoot, freelancer? Yeah, freelancer. Where you have your own safe house that you're trying to build out and you go do missions that are kind of randomish. Yeah. And you do these campaign missions, but there's no saving. And if you fail, you really, you really. really did fail and you lose any items that you took with you, like any of the guns you unlocked all that kind of stuff.

Yeah. It's like really like higher stakes. Yeah. It just makes it a very intense experience and it's addicting as hell. I'm so, that thing has its closet and is so bad. It's really good. Anyway.

That's cool. I need to, I played the first one. I need to go back and play some more Hitman. Did you, it looks like you've started playing Dead Space. The brand, it's the brand new Dead Space.

Yeah, the Dead Space remake. So it's a, it's a full, it's a complete remake of the first game. Right. Okay. Um, and it's really good. Carter and I played it, uh, on stream the other day. And we're going to try to finish it either tonight or tomorrow, but we're super into it.

It's really good. Like, that's cool. It looks insane. It looks so good. It's just boggling my mind. But, um, they, they really knocked out of the park. Like, I don't, I like when remakes really go for it and don't just up res a few things and say it's a remake or whatever.

Yeah. I like it when they really go nuts and like really, really remake it. And they did that here. They, they added stuff. There's all kinds of quality of life improvements. The way that zero gravity stuff works is totally retooled. It's really, really good. You know, speaking of things that look good, I'm going to make a horrible admission right now.

Go. That I thought I'd been watching 4K for eight months now, and I haven't been. I've got 4K Apple TV, and I've also got a 4K, like, Omni Amazon 5. fire TV, right, does 4K, does HDR 10, whatever, 10 plus. So, had all the pieces between those two items is the receiver that does all of

our audio for the 7-2 surround sound in our living room. Yeah. And it wasn't until last night that we were watching the Last of Us, episode three, which is excellent, that I realized, wait a minute, this just doesn't look like 4K.

And everyone, I think there's so many people to do this. I don't think you should feel bad. It's like, you know, I thought, all right, well, it's just going to pass the signal through the receiver. Like, basically, the receiver is just a junction and not doing any processing

or anything. So it shouldn't matter, but no, apparently it doesn't matter. You need a, you need a freaking receiver that has 4K. So what we're going to do is here's some fun technical talk for all you people out there. Going to totally rewire things on. I don't have to

replace the receiver. Thank God, because I don't want to spend $300 on a new receiver. But, no, we're going to have the, it just means more wiring through the walls, have the Apple TV go into the TV, and then the TV out audio into the receiver and never change anything on the receiver. It'll always just be. Oh, yeah. Because that's just an HDMI spec uptick, right, to get 4K?

Exactly. And that thing doesn't support it. Yeah. Yeah. I'll bet you more people running this than you think, because as it turns, out, all of those features minus a little resolution still look incredible, right?

Yeah, it was enough of an improvement that I thought I thought it was fine, but then I started doing, like, I was noticing when the credits came up and I was wiping the tunes for my eyes that a purely black screen, and then the text coming up, there was like a couple

little artifacts that came up with lines connecting it to the side that we normally wouldn't see. I was like, wait a minute. it it's like if this is 4k we should be it should be looking a lot better so yeah that must have been annoying though to realize it you're like wait a little bit yeah it's like no now now now it was partly partly annoying and now it's like oh my god so it's even going to look better than this cool oh yeah no that's that's a good point sure enough that was my first concern and I first flired it up because I was like I don't know if this is how do I know any of this is really running

at 4k and so I had to figure out what the TV's how the TV would tell me so if I'm playing a 4K game at 120 frames. How do I actually know it's a 4K and not like 1440 or lower? So I had that same thing, you know, when I first took it up. But I don't have any in-between hardware other than the consoles to mess around with that. So I think I was 4K from the get-go. Yeah. But yeah, you probably were.

But TVs today, man. Woo! Oh, I know. And 4K is not, you know, there's 8K now. So it's like, so I was looking at receivers and saying, well, I'm not going to, if I'm to buy a receiver, I'm not just going to get a 4K, I'll get one that does 8. so that when I eventually upgrade everything else, then... By that time, 16K will be around the corner.

Totally well, yes. The problem is with the, we are definitely to the point of diminished returns. As you, as your six months probably showed you that, you know, even now we're at diminished returns over 1080P. So it's like, 8K doesn't drive me. I'm not, like, you're not going to say, ooh, it's going to look more realer if I get at some point my eyes aren't going to be able to tell the difference the content being produced isn't going to take advantage like there's all that stuff but at some point like it's like when

someone tells you this this thing supports 184 million colors right yeah the human eye can recognize 64,000 what are you doing exactly good anyway I can only recognize 256 I'm I'm you know you're VGA you're VGA Brian I'm VGA Scott is my problem he's VGA Ibit we called him back in the day right Better than CGA, but that was before. Anyway, so that's a fun thing. Yeah, I already do have the high-speed HD-My cables. I've got the 4K cables, so they'll support that.

But, yeah, no, it's... That's funny. This afternoon, probably be a little bit of rewiring, and then we'll watch TAR. Probably not tonight, trivia tonight, but tomorrow night we'll watch TAR. And in the highest 4K resolution that my devices will support,

and Kate Blanchet will just look amazing. Yeah, you know what you should do. You should watch TAR and then Birdman with Michael Keaton, and the reason you do that is that way you can say I watched tar and feather. Oh, wow. Do you see what I did there? Did you see? Oh, how droll.

Very droll. All right, moving on. Let's get to some quality journalistic pressure here on the show. So enjoy this. In the news is sponsored by. You'll find quality in our corner. It's time for the news and it's brought to you by. The truth that there should never be a long, dark hair in your bottle of ibuprofen.

Oh, yeah, that's true. So two things. reminds me so two pharmaceutical things one big long dark hair in the ibuprofen brand new bottle not not one that where somebody's hair fell in it although no one has long black hair anymore either no she's got short purple hair well in fact right now she's she's doing the carter shave thing so she's down oh really oh cool zip oh so i knew it wasn't her i knew it wasn't carter the dogs don't have hair like this and the thing wasn't open it was still sealed so somebody at the freaking ibuprofen kirkland brand factory manufacturing let their big ass hair fall in there i know it makes me nervous not the i kind of think

i may take it back to them i don't want to really part of the reason i just why i just listened to a eight-part documentary on the tylonal killings in the 80s and i'm about saying it's poison i'm just saying all that talk about how these are impenetrable now whatever there's freaking hair in there now lame see that's normally hair in my food yeah i'd be i'd you know i would absolutely be taking back hair and ibuprofen like all little individual pills that won't it's probably fine like you say i agree with you it's like it's not going to be anything i just feel weird about it that is my thing is like oh god there's hair on my food i just can't go any further it feels like a it feels like a security breach you know it's yes i don't like it people should

just do what i do shave uh your head and your entire body i'm smooth like a dolphin that's right then send all that hair to your friend who works at the ibuprofen plant Just dump this in your random bottle. That's right. Then the other thing that happened is I opened a bottle of vitamins and did so in a way, such a way that they went, they exploded and went everywhere. Oh, no. Were you picking up little Dinos and Barney Rubbles? I wish.

I wish they were worse because they were these ones that are the same color as the wood flooring I have. Oh, no. Ish, sort of. Yeah. So they're just a little hard to see. So I had to go and all of them came out. It's not like just a few. Like they all went everywhere.

So I spent way too much time picking those up. So, yeah, good times here at the Johnson House. All right, let's get to the news. Here is a story for you. Buzz Aldrin, dude what was on the moon once. Known for punching moon deniers, moon landing deniers. Oh, really? Oh, that's awesome.

Yeah. It's a great old video. Someone in the chat will probably put in there. But somebody was going, sir, why are you perpetrating the lie that is, the moon or something like that he just hauled off and punched him oh i love it it was like 80 yeah i spent all this time prepping and training and going to space and put all the strain on my body for you to say it was all fake all right yeah there it is tally found it there it is right

there yeah he full on decks him just like a quick punch and he was in his i think 80s then um now he's in his 90s uh 4 zero f's left that's right none none left uh he is 9th uh he is 9th years old, same age as oh geez, who's the Royal Tannenbaum himself. Why can't they give his name? Oh, Gene Hackman? Gene Hackman, also 23, or 93 this week. Anyway, the astronaut celebrated his 93 birthday

and is getting married as a result to a 60-something-year-old. So he's robbing the cradle there a little bit. Robin the 60-year-old cradle. Yeah. Says, his quote was, we're as excited as eloping teens. Aw.

Which tells me, well, it tells me things. Anyway, on my 93rd birthday, that's a weird. That's a weird. That's a weird. That's a weird. So actually got married on his birthday? Yeah, it says on his 93rd birthday and the day I will be honored by living legends of aviation.

I am pleased to announce that my longtime love, Dr. Annika Fowar, and I have tied the naughty, wrote. We were joined in Holy Man. matrimony in a small private ceremony in Los Angeles, California, and are excited as eloping teenagers. Accompanying this tweet were the photographs from the couple's intimate ceremony. I'd be a little bummed Ankafauer, because like I said earlier, he's got zero Fs left. Yeah, he's done. He doesn't care. The guy moves like Jagger. He's doing just fine. But I wouldn't mess with him.

Actually, yeah. No, he's like he's got. He does give off a, not crazy old man, but like a hair trigger. Oh, yeah, no. Like, you don't F with him. Yeah, he's a proud, a proud man. Yes. Not, not, no, me, don't mess with him. Here's that video, chat, if you haven't pulled it up yourselves.

Here he is, and he's talking to this guy. And then he goes, hauls off, wham, right there in the beak. Wow. Yep, then walked away. I mean, look. I would be tempted to, I mean, especially at that age, like, have you, dude. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Heck yeah. Oh, you don't think I went to the moon? Mear. Anyway, what was the point? Oh, so they got married. He got married. He got, uh, she had, she wore a bridal gown adorned with rhinestones. Oh.

Yeah. A little, uh, Dali Parton, uh, Sylvester Stallone business going on there. So, so she got married to address that, uh, definitely should not be singing. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. 100%. Oh, my gosh, dude. We had this question for trivia last week, and we guessed Buzz Aldrin because you and I hadn't done this news story yet, but we did get it right. Oh, was that the question?

Was who got me? Yeah, it was who, which, what astronaut just announced their marriage to a woman 30 years there, junior? Oh, nice job. Because he's like the last one. There are no other Buzz Aldrin era astronauts, I don't think. Right, I guess not, right? All of the people from the Apollo 11 crowd. Especially, I mean, what is he?

Yeah, 93. So there's no, yeah, he's got to be one of the only ones, if not the only one left. OG. Yeah. The OG. The OG. Don't mess with him. Here's a, oh, stay in space for a minute.

Okay. All right, good. I didn't mean for these. I was there, so I'll stay. Oh, okay, good. Earth's inner core may have started spinning the other direction. Oh, boy. Uh-huh.

Yeah, check your toilets to throw back to a other. dumb topic we talked about. Coriolous effect, everybody. Coriolous effect. According to a new study, Earth's inner core, a hot iron ball, the size of Pluto,

has stopped spinning in the same direction as the rest of the planet might even be rotating the other way, according to some research suggested on Monday. I hope I'm not...

Hillary Swank says she can fix it, by the way. Oh, thank the Lord. She's got this. That'd be great. That or can we get... With the original Superman back, he can fly around the world

the other way. Oh, sure, yeah, Reeve. Yeah, Christopher. Reeves, he could do it. And Bobby, if we're usurping your story today, I apologize. I don't know if we are or not. Anyway. I just heard him fly over me going, damn it.

Damn it. This is exactly how the inner core rotates has been a matter of debate between scientists, and the latest research is expected to prove controversial. By the way, this is roughly 3,100 miles below the Earth's surface, the planet within the planet. It's just like a little metal, a little, Pluto-sized ball in there. Yeah, that it's like, you know, not connected with anything but magma. Yeah, magma.

Magma. Part of the reasons of it's controversial is because we have limited ways of measuring it. So here's what they say. What little we know about the intercore comes from the measuring of tiny differences in seismic waves created by earthquakes and sometimes explosions that you could call nuclear. That's how big they are as they pass through the middle of the earth. seeking to track the intercourse movements new research published by the journal nature geoscience analyzed seismic waves and uh or from repeating earthquakes over the last six decades wow

according to the study's author this is from jendong song and y yang of china's peking university oh i love peking university's uh orange chicken you have to order it a couple hours in advance though always yeah they don't deliver either kind of sucks no no uh they found that the inner Core's rotation came to a near halt around 2009, and then it turned in an opposite direction. Wow. Yep. That's pretty crazy. So now there's...

Core is spinning in its grave, basically. Yep. And now the science community around this stuff is scrambling to try to confirm that, you know, back it up and then talk about it and debate it and all that. I love this kind of stuff. I just finished. It'd probably be my recommendal, so maybe I shouldn't bring it up. Oh. Well, you know what?

I'll just do it because I have another thing I can recommend. Okay. I watched Our Universe. I talked about this a bit with that already, but with Morgan Freeman doing the thing. It's on Netflix. It's fantastic. And as mentioned before, it's like, they go

crazy with like this whole idea of, we're down here talking about a monkey and its mother. But then we're going to zoom all the way out to the cosmos and talk about some parallels about how the sun was created and all this. And then back to the monkey and then out to space and then back to the monkey. And it sounds weird, but it works really well. It's really

fantastic. Anyway, I've had this stuff on my mind. They'd have a heyday on that show about our inner core moving the other way, you know? Oh, for sure, yeah. I mean, I imagine there will be a documentary series about this, you know, kind of explaining

what's going. Although, you know, it seems like there would have been one with the core coming to a halt around 2009. Yeah, you'd think, right? Yeah. I guess didn't know it until they looked at these measurements now, but what if that was, well, if it was catastrophic, we'd know it, we'd all be dead or whatever. But I'm trying to think what happened in 2009 that would have.

I was just going to say, like, we almost need a Twitter joke train of like, what happened in 2009 that caused the core to just stop? The Avatar and 3D. Star Trek. Oh, I know. Spock messing around with Red Matter and Star Trek. Oh, that was that one. Oh, gosh. Okay.

Sure. There's your problem. No, Obama had already been in a year. He doesn't count. So it wasn't a presidency thing. Thanks, Obama. Yeah, thanks, Obama. Another thing to thank him for.

I can't, 2009 was not. I mean, he wasn't president until January of 2009. He was elected in 2008, but he didn't start the job. Oh, until January. It's a good point, yeah. Until January. That's a good point.

Yeah, I don't know. No, nine's a little non, well, it was the year I started. Oh, I know. That was the year I quit my job and started Frog Pants full time. Oh, look at that. That was it. There you go. See, there it is right there.

That was, oh, and it was also the first nerdtacular Brian went to. Oh. Oh. Was it really? Yeah. Was it really? Yeah. Star Trek, I think.

Right. Isn't that the first theater one you came to? Pretty sure it was because, oh, wait. Oh, were you there in 08? I was there at Dark Night, yeah. Never mind. That wasn't it then. It was not there for Spider-Man 3.

Yeah, that was 07. No, wait. Yeah. It was 07. We tried to do, what a weird year. We tried to do Transformers that year. Yeah. But we missed the dates on it.

So we were like, well, it's coming up. Oh, Spider-Man 3. That last one was awesome. This will be a no-brainer. It could only get better from two because it was two was so good. And now we've got 11 villains in this one. Yeah. How can they go wrong?

I have a list of how they went wrong. Right. there been the news you like music brian you're into music i'm into music but i that does not have any connection to the black eyed peas well that's a shame there's gonna be so there's something coming up tomorrow night that is uh they're they're doing all the schoolhouse rock songs live or i'm about live but like it's going to be a uh an abc special where they have new people singing like jason biggs is doing i'm just a bill dressed up as a bill jason biggs

jason biggs and the black eyed peas are going to do something who's jason biggs the actor that was in saving silver miller jason biggs yeah jason biggs the actor that was an american pie that was in a pie that's weird okay i didn't know he's saying is that a thing we should know i mean it's a it's the i'm just a bill song very little singing is required for that sort of thing that's a weird one though yeah but uh i don't know why that's so fun to me but it's so weird like uh uh Femster, what's her first name?

Fortune Femster is going to be unpacking adjectives. It's a weird, I want to say the black eyed peas are doing verb. That's what's happening, but I'm not sure. I thought I remember saying that, but it's like, I kind of want to watch this, but I kind of feel like it's going to be a train wreck.

I expect bigger names than Jason Biggs and the black eyed peas. Right, and the black eyed and two third or three fourths of the black eyed peas. I didn't see no mention of Fergie, this is really just going to be apt-y-app and taboo, getting together to sing a verb. That's

what's happening. Well, every time she turns around, men look her up and down, how's it go? I forget. I don't know. That's the only Furgy thing. Why don't you come every time you come around by a blonde and bridge? Some of my, my fairy ladyhumps. No, that's not.

Way to combine two horrible songs into one Voltron terrible song. Yeah, well, you've got to fight the big moth or whatever creature so we got to come together uh well speaking of my humps uh the song uh let's see ripped off by pooping unicorn toy uh according to a lawsuit so there's this pooping unicorn toy that stole the my humps tune really and now they're suing that's the state of things for the black eyed peas oh yeah this is the one that you put on a toilet and it actually drops a poop in the

toilet like a little i think so oh i want this thing but it's yeah i kind of want one too they're though. $100 to $300? Geez. No kidding. Geez. Anyway, so it says this. If the toy tweaks the lyrics of a popular song

is simply exploiting the market for that song without contributing anything to the cultural discourse. That is the big question. They'll have to answer sooner or later with the submitted legal stuff to the federal judge of the Southern District of New York after BGM or BMG rights management filed the lawsuit on Thursday.

BGM. Kind of funny. Well, even BMG. Yeah, BM. Where you got, where you going, yo? I got to do a BMG. That's what I said. My unicorn's got to do a BMG.

That's right. Let's see. The manufacturer of poopsie slime surprise collectible toy. Poopsie slime. Poopsie slime. Surprise is the part I don't like. Anyway, it's a brand of slime pooping unicorn that currently retails for up to 300 bucks on Amazon. In addition to pooping slime, the toy also dances to a song called My Poops.

Whenever it's heart-shaped belly button is pressed, the manufacturer MGA Entertainment has also produced an animation video in which the unicorns dance to the same song. According to the record label's lawyers, they are alleging that my poops and fringes on the Black Eyed P. Surprise 2,0005 single hit. I love the surprise hit part.

Surprise is a great word. My Humps, 75% of those publishing rights belong to BMG thanks to a corporate acquisition. Anyway, the suit claims and a review the song's genius annotation confirms that the two compositions bear a strong resemblance. My guess is they settle and they pull it.

Yeah, resentment. It's a strong resentment. Definitely has a common resentment. I'd play one or the other except I know I'd get pulled for this, but... Yeah, BMG might have have an issue. I gave you a video, but... Oh, you did? Okay, you know what? I'll pause up for YouTube. Sorry, YouTube. Hang on, we'll be back. Okay. So it's paused for YouTube. Yeah, you know what? It should be

protected or parody. You're totally right the derog. Oh, it should be. It absolutely should be, but freaking, oh, you mean for the law, for the lawsuit? Yeah, I agree. The lawsuit. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I should be. But they're making money from it. That's where things get weird. But you could argue a lot of parody makes money. I mean, Wittall Yankovic made money. Yeah. And me, me, me, butchering their songs, that's parody. And we have Patreon. Like, I don't know how the, I don't know where the line is. Anyway, here's, here's some of it. Oh, is it a plight? Okay, we're at. All right. Poopsie slime surprise. My poops, my poops, my poops. What you're going to do with all that poop?

All that poop. Yeah. They're 100% stole it. Or at the very least, they're doing a parody of it. But drenched wildfire is absolutely correct, and then it should have been lovely lady dumps. Yeah, lovely lady dumps. My dumps, my lovely lady unicorn dumps. That's amazing.

100% should hire you. you. You should work for the marketing company or whoever makes this dumb thing. What's you going to do with all that dung? All that dung coming out of my bung. My bung. B-U-N-G. It's my favorite. It's my favorite. Finally, here's a story I really like. It's a nice, sweet thing. Oh, good, because we need it after this. Back to Space, it looks like. Yeah, we're back. I did not mean to do this, but back to space. Mars Craters and Cracks create an adorable image of a teddy bear.

they got some imagery here and you won't believe how cool this is look at this link here it's the biggest hidden Mickey ever yeah yeah now normally someone of you know back oh look at that I know it's super it's super adorable here's the thing obviously stuff makes you know we're we're built to recognize patterns and so right there's that old face on mars that look like a head but now that we have higher resolution shots of it all those conspiracy theories got dashed because it's nothing like what we thought it looked like but this straight up looks like a little bear. It does. It looks like, I mean, especially the snout, right? I mean, the two dots for the eyes, kind of perfectly, relatively perfectly placed.

But, uh, needs ears, though. Got to put your ears on your back. It does need ears. Yeah. Yeah, what kind of bear has no ears? Come on now. This is ridiculous. Yeah. Anyway, I love it. Wow. One of my favorite stories of the year. I think it's a god-offal small affair. It's what it is. Uh, one point two miles wide, that, uh, space by the way. And, uh, it's hard to say what created like the almost a perfect circle of of cracks you know yeah right like that's unusual like a meteor would have to kind of skitter along the side and then another one would have to skitter along the other side like it's uh oh here it is they try to explain it they say uh the circle encompassing the bear's head is actually a surface fracture that could have been

caused by the settling of a deposit over a buried impact crater uh the the eyes were formed by two small, two more craters, smaller, smaller craters. The most prominent feature of the bear snout appears to be some kind of collapsed structure or perhaps some kind of volcanic vent with lava or mud flows. Yeah, it looks like it like poofed up and then went bleh. But, you know, humans, we see a bear. That's what we do. Yeah.

Even a nice, sweet bear. All right, well, that was my, that was amazing. I loved it. Thank you, NASA for that. Now, like, every time Bobby, like, oh, they just took one of mine. All right, I've got this other one. Oh, dang it, they just took my other one. All right, well, I've got this third one.

Dang it, they took the bear on Mars story. Yep, every time. Oh, uh, come on and talk about making a volcano with baking soda. I would love it if it all came down to that. Like, that's all you had left. It's all I got left, guys. It's all I got left. Oh, I would laugh my head off.

Real quick, apologies. I guess as I'm doing this, the video playing to the side on the. on the CBS news site is these there's a really sad protest for the stuff going on in Nashville and it's just a crappy duck juxtaposition next to this cute I was hoping it was still a pooping unicorn the poopy unicorn brats dancers yeah that would have been better I mean not not that that is an important it's just a bad contract well no no yes exactly like we're sitting there laughing about a bear on Mars it's much fun funnier to have pooping unicorns than protests indeed I guess it does though remind us that there is a

we have a cosmic reality we don't think about very much you pull the camera out a little bit and go oh all of our petty shitty shitty stupid stuff we do to each other on this planet pretty small compared to like you know a massive bear on mars for sure all right we are going to uh oh were they showing the actual beating i didn't even notice i apologize jack oh no really i didn't see it i didn't look i still haven't seen the video i've seen descriptions of it which i think are are they give me a of the of what I you know I saw part of the other day I had to turn it off because it was so bad it's just like yeah so brutal and then I saw one today where this guy is I couldn't tell where they were they were inside of some sort of store and the cops said get down put your hands on your head get on your knees and he did exactly what they told him and they walked over and just beat the shit out of this guy just clocked him I'm like okay this story about just comply? Yeah. I didn't seem to work for, you know, Junior McHooever was in there. And I don't know what he did. Then that guy shoot at them? He didn't look like it. Oh, really? They say,

get on your knees, put your hands above your head, and then came over and clocked him. I don't get it. I don't know if I buy that shooting thing. Maybe they did. Maybe I don't know the whole story. But the point is, we got to do better. Let's take a break. When we come back, Bill will be here talking a little bit of the Maker World, always love that. And then, of course, Bobby, who has no stories left, because we usurped him on all topics. Usurped. You have been usurped. But we have not usurped Brian on his song selection, so tell us what you picked. I have picked, listen, we've talked about bedroom pop. We've talked about shoegaze pop. We've talked about, obviously, J-pop, K-pop, all those other letter pops. What we haven't talked about yet is Outlaw Pop. And you might be

thinking, well, we just talked about Pez Outlaws. And that's the same thing? Well, no, it's not. Has nothing to do with that and why did you even bring that up brian but i'm going to tell you about a new artist named devora she's got a brand new ep called god is dead this is the title track from that this is outlaw pop it's kind of got a little bit of a pardon pardon me ice warm a little bit of a garbage feel to it oh don't get him too excited you know he'll get very excited it's it's the i'm sending him up to to you know to really uh have anticipation of this because he loves garbage so much that nothing that I compare that to will ever be as good as garbage. But it's like if Lana Del Rey replaced Shirley Manson in garbage, maybe.

Oh, man. All right. Anyway, here's the song, God is Dead from DeVora. stops bathroom in a truck stop vision all messed up and I'm spitting the blood shedding all my snakeskin like it's my religion straight out of sequentin but I'm still on the run now I've been all right been a ghost in every place I've crossed all the state lines looking for a god to give me grace turns out there's nothing down that road when you're running from yourself you take that shit with you

and drag it down to hell walking through the valley I got no regrets on the sign I read this is the end and God is dead where the last one puffed could lay me down right this is the end

you've got it's dead Where the last one's left Could lay me down the rest This is the end And that was dead I've been living so fast Driving through the badlands Laying down on train tracks

Trying to feel a rush Marching totes Tows Tried up to a bedpost Blood on my stilettos Staring up at the sun Go and no one knows my name All the things I've done to see

I'm drowning out my legacy And a tank of gasoline All the lights have let it up All the dreams have turned to dust And the only promise kept is there is no one left to trust Walking through the valley I got no regrets On a sign I read this is the end

And God is dead Where the last one's left Could lay me down the rest This is the end And God is dead Where the last one left Could lay me down the past This is the end

And God is death This is the end And God is dead All the angels Something hang alone No one knows where they go in the middle of the night All the angels sold the hallows No one knows why they never did put up a fight

Someone told me that they song with the devil in the middle of the desert getting high Walk into the valley I got no regrets On the sign I read This is the end And God is dead When the last we've left Could lay me down the rest

This is the edge God is dead Where the last we've left Could lay me down the rest This is the end I've got it's dead This is the end I've got it's dead

Crunch Meet the great American quencher Lipton iced tea It has more quench because it has more risk flavor than other iced teas Why? The Lipton blend And the flow-through tea bag

Are you going to step down or eat dirt The morning stream. Stop eating my sesame cake. We've returned. Tell me more about the garbage-sounding people. Sure. That was Devorah from her brand new EP called God is Dead. That is the title track.

Oh, nice. John C. DeVora. John C. DeVora. She knows how to use a soundboard, so she'll come and teach us how to do it. Those guys. So funny, because it was like 2011, but we still bring it up. I love it. Silly podcasters. Yep. What do they know? Let's see. It's Bill time, right? Yeah. It is Bill time. Yes.

I was like, who am I doing now? Oh, that's right, Bill. Let's get Bill in here. Let's talk about makers and making. and the making of things right here, right now. Your bat caves open there, Bill. Bill Duran joins us for PunishProps.com, located in the Pacific Northwest, and servicing the world with fantastic new creative ideas.

And he comes on the show on Tuesdays and talks about some of those. Bill, welcome back. Hello, hello. Dude, I feel like you were just here. I don't know what happened to last week. Last week was a blur. Yeah. Yeah.

Time means nothing. Just gone. Yeah, you're telling me. It's almost February. It's almost time for me to go to jury duty. What I hold it forward to Yeah, are you what? Tell us more Are you going to

Are you going to do one of those tricks Where people go in and you know, they say Is there any reason why you're whatever And you go, I ship myself just now Or whatever it is That's a wedding That's a wedding Yeah, why

I'm not be married I'm going to do my best I'm going to do my civic duty But I'm going to complain about it the entire time Yeah Nice Well, look, Seattle Need you, okay?

Wherever you're doing it, I don't actually know But your great state needs you And so you'll do your duty And then you'll let us know back how it went Yeah, and I'm basically like Batman, right? Yeah, you're like Batman. And when I show up in a Batman costumes, they'll understand why.

That's right. What would your signal be, by the way, for punish props? They put a big signal in the sky. What would it be the outline of a foam floor mat? Perfect. It would be, we'll know what the symbol would be, but it would be made out of resin. Yeah, and it'd be square. Just a big square in the sky.

That's right. Fantastic. Well, Bill, having you here is always a good time, and I like the creative flow of it. So what did you bring today? Oh, this is fun. This touches everything I like. Have you guys ever watched any video game console restoration videos? I have, in fact, done that because...

Oh, really? Video game console restoration. We had some discussion on Play Retro about... this and I can't remember what the console, I think it was an old a old dirtied up Genesis, Gen 1 Genesis that somebody had to clean out and do. And it was weirdly

satisfying watching that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. This is a, the restorations on YouTube are a big thing. Cars, what else? Tools. I really like tool restorations. Matchbox car restoration. I think I've brought that up before. Video game consoles, cars, tools.

old toys like Tonka trucks really satisfying to see those get redone But yeah There's a whole section if you go Over to YouTube and look up your favorite console with the word Restoration you will find several options

For that specific console And the Nintendo consoles are very popular A lot of NES Super Nintendo, Game Boy, N64, that sort of thing But you'll find pretty much any any console that you had growing up someone has found a crusty old version of it and fixed it up it's like a version that was buried along with all those ET cartridges in the Mexico desert you're not wrong like this Genesis fun I'm looking at right now and showing the chat is so gross

like where did this where did they keep this damn thing and also look at how industrial this dude gloves are like I know yeah like the way he's holding with the gloves it's like was that in shit. Yeah. So I wonder, I've seen, I saw, I watched a different video. Someone was pointing out that sometimes people will do a restoration video where the thing they are restoring has been artificially made to look much worse. I guess gun restoration videos are a thing and this is something that people do sometimes.

So I don't know, sometimes I see someone with a video game console that looked like they pulled it out of a honey bucket. yeah but then they clean it in it looks all pretty so the more dramatic the change the more the more the more exciting it is i feel and i feel like this video this saga one that scott's showing i feel like uh maybe he's got the camera too close to what he's doing like he's a little probably yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah he can afford to pull it back maybe a foot yeah a little bit i know people want to get detail which i guess some of this is sure it's fun but uh yeah i don't i i'm trying to think I have an old 2,600 that looks like this, that's this beat up.

That wasn't mine. I got at a garage sale. And my intent was to do this very thing, to go through it and not make it work, but just pretty it up. But part of me wants to have, like, I kind of want to mount the nasty ass thing, you know? Because then it's like, oh, it's from the 70s. I want to mount the nasty ass thing. But I don't know if I've got it in me. Like, I don't know.

You people with, like, I love video games that make me do this. One of my favorite ChorCore games, a game called electrician simulator. And you take old electronics that are sent to you and you got to make them work again. But part of it is you got to clean them and you got to dig stuff out and, like, clean out contacts and replace parts and buy new parts and all that. So I've done this process in a very digital way before. But telling me I got to do this with a real physical thing, it just sounds like a headache. I don't know if I can do it. But Bill could do it because Bill loves that stuff.

Bill could do it. good. Yeah, for sure. When I was reminded that I haven't purchased an old system. We have a couple. Brittany had a, her old Game Boy that she found at her mom's house. And it didn't need a ton of work, but she did clean it up a little bit, got it working again. Although, we did once buy a Nerf blaster from a Goodwill that someone decided to load with gummy bears before, before, uh,

giving it to the goodwill. So that was a fun little find. And that was one that we had to clean out. Oh my gosh. Wait, how did they do that? They just filled it full of them? Yeah,

it was a child who decided to try and fire gummy bears out of their Nerf blaster. They didn't come out because they don't come out. Wow. So we found them. That's amazing. If you ever did, if that kid's listening and you ever did find something that will shoot gummy bears, let us know what it was.

Oh, right. So that's, that can be a part of the experience. with these console restoration too finding all sorts of fun stuff in them um one of the oh sorry watching him actually like clean even the the PCB with alcohol

and spray and stuff like that that's crazy I'm sure the the got to use like distilled water and there's like all kinds of tricks to that right yeah stuff that won't corrode or denatured alcohol will do it yeah lots of good stuff one of the things that's really common especially with the Nintendo consoles they all were all made out of that

injection molded gray ABS plastic. And if they were sitting near a window, they get that yellowing. Yeah. So a lot of the ones you see have a ton of yellowing, and they figured out a way to handle that. So you'll see these guys put the, they'll strip all the electronics out, and they'll put the yellowed plastic in a bucket with big hydrogen peroxide and then UV lights. I believe that's the mixture. It may not be exactly what they do.

But you can actually remove that yellowing. It's kind of bananas. Totally. get it back to an almost completely new state. Interesting. So I had a friend, he and I both had any S's and we'd go to each other's house to play. A couple years into owning them. His was yellow as hell.

And mine wasn't. And I thought, well, is it by, you know, I thought it was light or something. His dad was like a chain smoker. And it was, it was freaking cigarette smoke, man. He had the yellowest, nastiest thing. I bet it might be easier than the long term. Maybe it's easier to clean that or fix that than it would be light, you know, light damage or whatever. But it was, when he told me that, I was like, well, I'm not playing at your house.

And I knew he smoked. You could smell it over there. Yeah. But I don't want to get secondhand hit on your disgusting yellow NES. Oh. Yeah, it's gross. It's freaking gross. Anyway, I'm looking at NES one now.

Boy, they do get ugly when they're dirty. Yeah, they do. Yeah. But, again, it makes the transformation even more fun. Yeah. For sure. So one of the other. cool things too is there is now

a secondary market for replacement parts for these consoles so again if you look up your favorite let's say Gameboy specific even you can really really specific like Game Boy color or whatever you can find stores that will sell

all the parts probably enough parts to just build your own but you can get all the different replacement electronics the buttons screens speakers all sorts of stuff so For example, Britney's Game Boy had a scratched up screen. And we were able to polish it and it looks okay.

But if we wanted to, we could just replace the screen cover or the entire, the LCD screen as well. But the screen cover is the thing that was all scratched up. You could just peel the old one off, get a brand new one, stick it right on there. Yeah. Also very popular is if you get a Game Boy that's just, you know, not working and you're not trying for accuracy or creating a whole new game, you know, making it back. to its original form. People are gutting those, replacing buttons, replacing screen, but using the

shell to put like a raspberry pie in there and have, you know, kind of the ultimate every game's on here, sort of a little emulation device, which is way, for me, way more interesting, because getting it and working original shape, I'm never going to play it. Like, I'm not that interested in that, but I would, I would

if it had 4,000 Game Boy games on it. Right, right. Yeah, we have that Game Boy breakout it all fixed up, and we load it up, you know, Super Mario or Dr. Mario or something, like, neat. And we put it down and never touch it again. Yep, that's true.

Something else people do that's really neat is they'll take their old Game Boy and take it apart and know all the parts out in a nice pattern and frame it and put it up on the wall. I do like that. That's so cool. Yeah, that's cool. Who was it? It was Wendy's husband that did that with a

Game Boy controller, right? Yeah, it was... To spell out, I love you? Oh, that was No, it was her son. It was freaking Peter. Yeah, did that. Pull it out and made words. But yeah, like I, if I had my, if I could do this, I'm sure I could figure out a way to pay my way there, but it's expensive.

But I would love to have every console I ever owned done in that way, like explode it out. And then under glass and then you frame these. Like, I've seen that stuff. And I think that is the coolest way to, because I'm not going to go plug them in and playing. The blueprints, you know. The blueprints are great, but man, I'm just trying to figure out how much room it would take to have it exploded out, even sort of at an angle, but still have them separate so that you could kind of look and you'd have to have each thing like mounted on loose site or something, each layer. Boy, it would be really cool. If you want to see a console that got real yellow, this Dreamcast I'm looking at, good Lord.

Oh, yeah. Really? Oh, Sega. What plastic were you using? Because that's terrible. Oh, my gosh. But look at that. I'm telling you that, that UV light.

Hydrogen peroxide trick they do is able to remove almost all of it. Yeah, it looks I mean, he's got it back to that. It was never pure white anyway. It was most, it was kind of an off-white gray sort of eggshell thing, but I don't know what the original plastic was, but geez, I look bad.

Anyway, I respect this a lot. I don't know if I have the patience, but I respect it. And also, if I was going to do it, I might want to just have it gross and broken out and mounted. There's something about the vintage quality of that that I So I don't know.

I'm torn on that part. But as always, all this stuff is numerous and available on the fantastic website. Yep. And also, PennishProps.com is as well. So you're going to want to go check that out. Bill, what's our bonus link today? What are we doing? So this is a restoration video.

The channel is called Odd Tinkering. They do lots of different restoration type stuff. But they did a Game Boy color that I thought was pretty great. Oh, this, the old jellyfish style. 90s C-through deal. Oh, I had one of those purple, I believe.

Oh, so cool. I had a yellow... No, maybe mine was clear. I don't remember what I... I used to think this was the bomb, though. This style design, I don't know why they're going to do it today. Transparent.

Yeah, I bought... Look, I would seriously consider a Series X or a PS5 that did this today, even as a second console because I just love the look of it. What the hell happened to the display on this thing? Why is the weird circular...

Yeah, that looks like someone. somebody just wrote on it or something or yeah or melted it with a torch or something geez look at that thing yeah this is the channel I've been showing the other one so this you that we when I was showing the NES one same same dude

yeah good shot really well too uptight shots when you need it yeah not too tight those uptight shots uptight shots up type shots shots he's a he's actually replating the the battery connections yeah with nickel

which is pretty cool. That's something I'd like to figure out how to do nickel plating. Oh, that's really rad. And look like these buttons are second market, you know. Right, yeah. You could just totally order those.

The screen, he probably just purchased a new screen and swapped it out. Oh, so much work. I bet this is a 20-minute video. I bet there's, I bet this is what, four hours of work or more? Right. Oh, God.

If not way more than that. Yeah, probably. I bet I'm underestimating. But anyway, fantastic stuff. As always, a pleasure, Bill. Again, punish props.com and punish props on YouTube. Also following him on Twitter. He's a good follow over there at Chinbeard.

That's right. And those of you listening later, that post is up on quicktms.l. If you listen to this later, and you want to see what the hell we're talking about. Sounds good to me. Bill, stay out of trouble. We'll see you next time. Toot-Loo. Bye now.

Tooteloo. Tootles. Don't feel like anyone said tuteloo except Bill in a long time in my life. Yeah. No, I like it. I want to, I want to bring that back. Bring back the Tudaloo. Bring back the Tudaloo. And don't be. East St. Louis, Tudaloo, you see. Yeah, I love it. And have, uh, do you say Bay St. Louis just now? No, East St. Louis. It's a, uh, it's the song that goes, wwop, wwop, wwop, wamp, wop, wamp, ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Had you said Bay St. Louis, that freak me out because that's Kim's hometown. That's where she was born.

Oh, really? Well, I take it back. He was born in Nashville, but they lived in Bay St. Louis, and then she was immediately in Bay St. Louis the rest of her life until she moved out here. So there you go. Speaking of the Bay and St. Louis, no, none of those things, actually. We have Bobby with us. And we'll see if he has some science left after today's show. But here's his theme. Science. Bobby, are we all out of science now? What have we done? Hold on. Give you just another minute. I've got to dig through my... I don't know. I'm still looking for a science thing. You haven't covered yet. I thought you could fully work there. That is good. Did you just have to have a box?

You got a box of junk or something you can just rummage through. That's great. That's my trash can. Even grosser. Hey, it's good to have here. A lot of paper in there, Mr. I hate recycling. That's right. Get on the wagon.

Hey, it's good to have you here. It's Bobby. He does a show call all around science and he talks about science stuff all the time. And we're happy to have him here. He's also tomorrow's co-host because Brian's got a doctor's appointment or a, what do you call it? physical therapy appointment. Yeah. Because that was kind of a, hey, get it when you can get it, we made a little last minute pivot and you'll have to deal with Bobby tomorrow. All right, everybody. Well, Bobby, I'll tell you my recommendals. You have to just act like you watch them and enjoy them as much as I did and talk flowerly all about them. Yes, flowerly. I like it. Bobby, what did you bring? I'm sure you have something.

Oh, yeah, sure. So you told me that, so because I'm going to be on. Tomorrow morning I had to get a little bit of work done ahead of time. And then also I was, I didn't fly today. And so I did, because it got canceled, I did some practice. I did a practice test because you have to take like a written test for the FAA, you know? Oh, I didn't know that was part of this? That makes sense. Yeah, it's like, you know how you have to do a written test for a driver's license?

Sure. It's kind of like the same thing. They even had to do that in Top Gun. They all had written crap they had to do all the time. Oh, yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of studying you have to do. And so the test took a little bit longer than I thought it was. So I basically didn't have any time this morning to prepare anything.

So I thought I'd talk to you about things, interesting things that you didn't know that have to happen when you fly a plane. How about that? Oh, I love it. That's scientific in a way. Sure. It is. There's some aerodynamics that will be involved, I'm sure.

Great. So the first thing that I always think is interesting that one of the first things that I didn't realize, when I went to learn how to fly a plane is when the plane is on the ground, you're like taxiing in the airport to the runway. You have to steer the plane, of course, through the taxiways. It's like there's streets that you're driving the plane on. Those are the taxiways. You steer the plane not with your hands, but with your feet.

Did you know that? No. No. Wait a minute. Is that true of all planes or is this just big commercial planes or what's the deal? Well, I don't fly a big commercial plane. I play that's true. Oh, speaking of which, have you been back to doing it since the landing mishap or no? Yeah, so landing, almost crashing the plane update. I went back and the next,

the two days later and the weather was a lot more windy that day. But I was anxious and nervous. In fact, I text my flight instructor and I said, hey, before I got there and I said, hey, I don't, I'm not sure what you had planned today but can we just do takeoffs and landings because I really got a I really need to like shake this feeling that I have from that bad landing and I need to get right back on the horse you know and he said I was fine and I did great oh I did uh I did awesome even in the wind nicely done yeah and the wind it's even harder to land and um and so I did great and then I got an imprompt to short flying lesson a few days after that on Sunday and And it was totally calm, dead air.

And I did great then, too. I did three landings because that's all we had time for. And in those three landings, he didn't have to touch the controls at all. So I'm progressing steadily. And I'm over that close call. You also had three, I assume, successful takeoffs because you can't have those landings without takeoffs, right? Yeah, takeoffs are way easier, though. Yeah.

You only mention those. Screw those takeoffs. It was very easy. I mean, getting up in the air, piece of cake. Coming down, boom. Yeah. You always hear, though, the biggest accents or the place of the most crashes happen during takeoff or landing, though. Isn't that still true?

That is 100% true. And the reason is because of stalls. Do you know, so there's another thing I didn't have on my list here, but we could talk about, do you know what a stall is? When you go straight or do you go up too fast, too sharp an angle and you... Oh, I thought it was just with the ladies' room. All they have is stalls. There's no urinals. It's what you use in a urinal if you're afraid in the bathroom,

if you're afraid to use the urinals. That's right. Exactly. Exactly. So, Brian, you're right. So that's one way you can stall. That's probably the most common way you can stall is by pitching the nose up too high, too much, right? But technically all a stall is is when there is not enough lift being generated

to keep the plane flying. so um and and they say a stall can occur technically at any airspeed at any pitch angle oh really because yeah because all it requires losing juice yeah is if all it requires is that there's not enough lift being generated so that can be that can happen in weird situations but you're right and that's why most accidents happen on takeoff and on landing is because those are the slowest air speeds um when you take off you're obviously out of slow airspeed because you're just getting enough airspeed to take off. So if you try to pull your nose up too high, the angle of attack, which is the angle of your wings

to the relative wind, if you pull up too high, then that angle gets too high for the wind to get underneath it and generate lift, and then you fall back down. So you've got to be really careful when you're taking off not to pull back too much. you have to pull up just enough and keep an eye on your airspeed and make sure that your airspeed says high enough. When you're in the movies, whenever they depict a stall, the engine always kills.

That's not true, not always true, or maybe never true, right? That doesn't have anything to do with the engine. The stall, stalling doesn't have anything to do with the engine. An engine going out can lead to a stall if you're not careful, but even an engine going out doesn't have to stall as long as you are keeping an eye on your airspeed because that's an emergency situation

that we train for is an engine an engine out emergency and you can still land the plane you just have to glide to where you're going to land and that means maintaining enough air speed

to keep lift and not stall my mom says I landed in a situation like that but I was too young to remember it I have no memory of this I was probably three but we'd landed or a medium-sized commercial jet lost. Wasn't both engines, maybe just one.

So again, I'm sketchy because I don't know. That would be very, that would be very unlikely for both engines to go. Yeah, that would be super rare, I would assume. It's like a redundancy that's just there. But they landed no problem. It was like no big deal, but I guess everybody was freaking out. Well, it's probably pretty scary, especially for the passengers to see, because you can probably see some indication of something going wrong.

and you could feel it when it first happens, I'm sure. Yeah, that's what she always describes as like you could, the plane had a, had a weird. It probably lurched to a certain direction because when an engine goes out, even if there's two engines on each wing, if an engine goes out, that's one side of the plane that is not producing as much thrust. So that means one wing will now be moving faster than the other wing.

And so you can, you can still fly the plane. It's just you have to account for that, right? You have to apply the correct, you know, they call it ailerons, which are the things in the wings that cause roll to happen. When you turn the yoke back, the steering wheel back and forth, that's a affecting the little flaps come up on the side, sides. Yeah, exactly, exactly. The little flaps, boy, I'm ready for my test.

Give me the written test. Yeah, it's good enough. Yeah. I'm sure I'll pass. Flaps are technically something different, but I know what you're talking about. So when she described it as centripical, the feeling of some typical force when you're holding like a bike tire, spin it, and then try to move it around. You know that feeling of pulling you kind of in a weird way? Oh, kind of like a gyroscope, like when you have a gyroscope spinning, you try and move your hand and it.

Yeah, and it just kind of wants to pull you in a direction that you're not, doesn't feel natural. She says that was the feeling you had in your seat when it happened. Probably, probably because you have to imagine that everything that you're, all the motion in a plane is all relative to the earth and gravity and everything, right? Right. So if the plane suddenly loses an engine, let's say it loses in a left engine, so the plane is going to start to turn to the left. Yeah. Because the right wing is going to have more thrust. Well, the plane will yaw in that direction.

Yaw is like if you were to set the plane down on the ground on like a turntable and spin it around. That's yaw, right? It's moving the nose left and right, not up or down and not rolling, but left and right. So it'll yaw to the left, but you were going, you were just a second ago going forward very quickly, and then the plane suddenly turns yaws to the left,

you're still going to have a tendency to go forward, which will then be relative to the side of the plane, right? Because the plane is turning. And so you'll feel it in your seat, you'll stop. It's not like you're going to smack into the other side of the plane, but that's where that feeling comes from. Right, right. Well, I'm glad I don't remember it, if I'm honest.

That's not something I remember. It was probably very, very scary, and it's probably why she sounds like tells the story still. Yeah. Well, anyway, sorry, I derailed you. You were heading a direction. No, no, no. These are all really interesting.

So, yeah, you steer the plane with your feet on the ground. And the reason you do and the way that that happens is the petals that your feet are on are called rudder pedals because they control the rudder of the plane, right? The rudder is that tail that sticks straight up on the back of it. It has a

flight surface that moves back and forth and that's called the rudder. So yeah, you control that rudder whether it's deflected left or right with your feet. I had no idea that that was where you controlled that. Do you know that, Brian? I was assumed it was some hand thing

for that stuff. I had no idea it was feet. Did we lose Brian? No, I'm still here. Oh, here. You didn't hear my question. The, uh, I asked you a question. You didn't hear it.

Oh, I didn't hear it. Oh, weird. You just said, I thought it was hands and our feet. I said, huh? I said, hey, Brian, did you know that? It wasn't the hands and then I didn't hear anything. Oh, I heard you say something, but I think it was the same time Bobby said something. Oh, it's a stupid discord.

It's a discord. I was playing Discord. Anyway, but so that's interesting. So I'm picturing like Flintstones, but that's not right, right? No, no, no, because I'm not putting my feet on the ground. But you control the rudder with your feet, and the reason that that's how you steer on the ground is because turning the yoke doesn't do anything, right? Because you're not going fast enough for the wings to generate lift, so that's what turning the yoke does is changes those ailerons on the left and right. wings which would cause the plane to roll but

even if you were going fast enough on the ground you don't want to roll the plane when you're on the ground otherwise you'll crash a wing into the ground right yeah so so what you do is even you're as you're moving the tail the rudder moves and it causes the the tail of the plane to move left or right which causes the the plane to steer there's usually also a cable connected to the front nose wheel as well which helps turn with the rudder, but most of it is in the wind going across the tail, and that's how you can... Is it like two pedals that, you know, pull it in different directions, or is it like one thing you put your feet on and kind of move it back and forth? It's two pedals, one under each foot, so you're absolutely right. And it's a little weird to get used to because you're so used to a steering wheel, right?

Yeah. And so you might imagine that pushing your right foot forward, at least in my head, because when you push the right, foot forward the left will come back a little bit um and so so in my head i imagine that that's akin to turning the steering wheel with your right hand going up and your left hand going down so you would turn left but actually pushing into the right rudder causes the plane to steer to the right to have to get used to that this is this is why people in flight games and racing games sometimes change the xy option to go the other way right now invert access is the uh so does the flight stick I know, obviously, that control, that's like your throttle, right? No.

Oh, no, that's to raise and lower the... Yeah, the flight stick or the yoke. Mine has a yoke. That controls the either... They call them elevators and ailerons. Elevators are on the tail, which cause you to pitch your nose up and down, and ailerons are on the wings, which cause you to roll left or right to turn in the air. But there's no left and right movement on that thing.

So I always visualize the, of course, why wouldn't I? Like the Tron light cycle controller or, you know, any flight simulator home joystick like that where it does left and right too. Does that not go left and right? And if it does, what does the left and right? What would that control? It doesn't go left and right. It just doesn't go left and right. Okay.

So when you, oh, see, we've been misled by video games. We've been misled by tons of Logitech game. No, to be clear to people who are listening, you're talking about how you can twist the stick, right? No, no, no, just moving it left and right, but keeping the trigger forward, but moving the... Yeah, if it's a stick, if you're using a stick, yeah, you can move it left and right. Okay. But what does that do then? That controls the ailerons, it causes you to roll.

Gotcha, okay, so the left ailerons would go up right of the alarms. Okay. So some of that is accurate for, like, flight sims and stuff like that. That makes sense. So, okay, here's my question. You're a guy who drives a car, right? I assume you drive a car here and there. Yep.

When you had to get used to the way these foot things work, is there muscle memory that's like a brake or clutch or gas? You know what I mean? Like, I feel like I would go into my car brain and want to treat those pedals like I always treat pedals when I'm on the road. So yes and no. For the brakes, there are actually brakes on the wheels of the plane.

And those are also on the pedals. It's weird. It's extra controls that you have to get used to. Pushing, pushing the rudder padders in your feet forward and backwards causes the rudder to move. But they also have what are called toe brakes, so you push your toe, like you push the pedal down with your toes to apply brakes either on. And you can apply differential braking so you have left and right brake controls and you can apply one, the other, or both. Okay. And that can actually aid you with steering on the ground. So when you hit the, they hit the tarmac there, I always thought it was something automatic kicked in.

Like, and I guess it is. You're saying it does, but it's, but you can tweak that or control that or augment it. Maybe that I'm sure there's a lot of automatic stuff happening on airliners on mine. So the primary way that you slow a plane down once you hit the runway. Yeah. You've, your wheels have touched the ground, you're on the runway. You do not use the brakes because you're just going to, burn the brakes, right?

Okay. Because you're going so fast. The primary way you slow the plane down is what's called aerodynamic braking, which is you slowly until it comes all the way back into your lap, you pull the yoke all the way back. Because that causes the elevators on the tail, which are, they deflect and come down, basically generating more air resistance,

and it's like an air brake you can think of it. Yeah, you always know, you always see that too if you're by a wing and you look out and it's like you see that thing go down hard or up, I guess maybe. Is it up or down? Up for the brakes. Yeah. And so you do that until you, until you no longer feel the aerodynamic braking being effective. Once it's no longer effective, then you can apply the toe brakes. If it doesn't slow fast enough because you got a big heavy plane and it's loaded, did they just start chucking the big people? out of the doors like what do you do every every every um every uh flight attendant is uh is trained to be prepared to throw heavy people out of the plane all right okay confirmed you all heard it here that's how it works every airline that's what they do uh talk to you about it if you sit in the emergency seat they talk to you about it have you ever sat in that one you know no actually

i have a couple times but i'm definitely not the biggest dude on the plane so i don't know if uh They say that they tell you about how the door can open, and yeah, you have to assist, but they're kind of hinting at the fact that they can shove you out if they need to stop. They're just going to boot you out. See, the way I would do it, if I was that pilot and things were not going well and we weren't slowing as we were heading toward, you know, whatever retainer wall or something. I feel like I'd just pull out all the stops. I'd push whatever button causes the two big raft things to poop out the sides. I'd do like, you know, whatever you can do, is there a button that'll just drop all the long?

luggage out the bottom of the plane or something. Just stop, eject, eject, eject, exactly. I don't know if you can do that. When it comes to landings, pilots of all plane sizes are very alert and aware of what's going on, because that's a critical moment. And if there is any indication that you would not stop fast enough, now I know this is for smaller planes, I don't know how it is for airliners because they're very big, but on a smaller plane, we're taught that if anything is going wrong

or anything, then you immediately apply full power and then take off and go around. Okay. Like, it needs to be all going well for you to commit to and initiate a... It's so much so that if you touch the ground

I'm taught that if I touch the ground and I hit hard enough that the plane bounces off the ground a little bit, then that's immediately. You don't even think about it. You should immediately apply full power and fly away. and gain altitude and go around. Wow.

Because it's just an unstable situation. It's not safe. We did that one time, but it was on our way home from Bliscon one year. We were landing in SLC International. And you can always tell them we're about to land because there's a big drop as you come down past the mountains. You're just like, bra, just like go way down. Air pressure drop kind of thing. Yeah.

You guys probably get this even worse in Denver. We get it. We get it. Yeah, because we come down. We have a little bit more distance between the mountains and the airport. it well probably pretty close to what you guys have similar but yeah similar but i think the way last time i flew to denver it's been it forever but when i did it it was like it just felt like you got over the mountains and then it's went hurrah just like an elevator down at least it felt like it

but this this was one of those cases where there was a bit of that and then it looked like we were going to land like normal and all sudden brr the power comes on and it just and it flies up and circles and the captain goes uh ladies gentlemen we did that because uh there's a problem or there's too many people on the tarmac we're just trying to make sure we got room so that's a reason not just you're going to crash or you got speed issues absolutely absolutely i had to do that just recently on one of my flights um there was just a at our airport some guy landed ahead of us and just was taking a really long time to get off the runway and it's um and it is 100% illegal uh the f aaa will does not like it you're only one plane

per runway i think technically you can have more than one plane per runway at like very large airports in very specific circumstances, but it's all being controlled by air traffic control. But in our situation, if there's another, you cannot touch down unless there's no plane. So I had to do that. It was just taken forever. So I went around and took another turn.

And I was really mad too because it was such a good approach. It was going to be a great landing. Yeah. But your flight instructor is probably happy. You did the right thing at the right moment. and all that, right? Yeah, yeah, that's one thing that you're learning

is good decision-making. Yeah, give you a little... The steering with your feet happens in the air as well. Because you can do the same thing. It's just a flight surface the rudder is, right? So if you apply rudder pressure while you're flying,

the same exact thing happens. You will yaw the plane left and right. And you kind of... You have to when you're turning. So when you turn the plane, like, let's say you're turning. turning to the right. You turn the yoke to the right.

There's this thing called adverse aileron yaw. It's a very complicated term, but term. But basically what happens is when you turn the plane to the right, the reason your plane turns is because you have changed the shape of the wing and the left wing now is

generating more lift than the right wing. And so it goes up. And that's what causes you to turn, right? But because there's a fact in aerodynamics that when you generate lift, you generate, you also generate drag. It's called induced drag. It's just without getting into the complicated physics of it, it's just a natural consequence of lift. It's creating friction with the air in it, right? Yeah, there's all sorts of reasons why and air friction and the way air moves across the wing and stuff like that.

So if one of your wings is generating more lift than the other one, it's also has more drag than the other one, which means that as you're turning, you start to yaw as well. So the nose of the plane will lift up relative to the horizon, which is an uncomfortable turn and also not very efficient. So you have to, when you're turning, also apply rudder to correct that and bring the nose back down to the horizon. and it's called a coordinated turn. Well, I have one last question. I have one last question, though, about all of that going south. Let's just say, you've done it all right.

Things have gone bad. Can you, in the plane you're in, I know you can't do some commercial airliners, is there an eject option? Can you maverick out of there? All your questions seem to be focused on getting everything out of the plane. You're not wrong. You're not wrong.

I don't know why my head's going there. But can you like, you know, goose, Goose is a bad example. But can you maverick out of that thing? I definitely don't want to eject like goose. Good point. But is that a possibility or, I mean, getting out of the plane in general, I guess it doesn't have to be an ejection,

but can you both just fly a door open and jump out and you got parachutes and all that? I guess you could, but you certainly were not told to do that. You can't eject. There's no eject button in a Cessna. okay um but uh but i guess you could open open the doors and parachute out um but we're definitely we're not taught to do that we're taught to try to land the plane right right um that's the safest thing to do for everyone us and the people on the ground oh yeah people on the ground that's

right because that plane's got to go somewhere it's not going to hover down that's a good point you wouldn't need to ejective it did that uh it'd be cool it would be cool as if you guys ejected to the sides you know what i mean so instead of having a roof thing you just go Oh, no, eject, eject, and you'd both just go flying out on the left of the right of the plane. Opposite directions? Yeah, sure.

Yeah, that I want to see. I want to see that happen. It won't, that would be very cool. Some planes, oh, what kind are they? I think it's a Cirrus, there's some serious planes that have a parachute. Like a plane-sized parachute. Yeah.

Oh, that's cool. So the plane, like, so you just turn everything off? Yeah. You're just like, you know, can you shut everything off? Make sure the back door's locked. Okay, see ya. It's like leaving the house or whatever.

So wait a minute. That's like the kind on cars where they do the races. Comes out the back and slows the plane. Oh, yeah, right. Surely. Yeah, why not that? Yeah. No, it comes out the top.

Actually, I just saw TVZ. I put a link and shows a picture of the parachutes that I was talking about. Oh, that's cool. And those are easy planes to land. I wish I was learning on that one. Oh, look at that. That's awesome. And when it's good, you know, I was thinking, God, it would suck because it would be, like, out the back of the plane.

So you're just basically, like, hanging face down. Nose down. Nose down is for the 20 minutes it takes you to land. But I guess if it does it on the top like that, that's actually kind of cool. Yeah. Yeah. It seems like that's manageable, at least. Are there people in it, though?

There are people in it, right? Yeah, for sure. You're not ejecting. It's just in an emergency situation, it helps to bring the plane down safe. Oh, there's video of this. Let's see what that looks like. Yeah, the reason the article that he posted says those parachutes for small airplanes really do save lives is the reason that's the headline is because there's been debate in the industry about whether or not those parachutes on serious airplanes actually do anything to, like, in the real world, do they actually have an effect on helping people? Like, does it save your life in a crash or not? Is that just a matter of not having enough crashes to make reliable data from, you know? I don't know.

That's, it's been an open question in my mind until I saw the headline there. So I've got that one open on a tab. I'm going to read it later. But, yeah. One of these, they got video of one landing on a busy freeway. Geez, Louise. Oh, God. Yeah, that's wherecholt taught also you don't land on an interstate unless it's an absolute emergency.

Yeah, no. You know what? I agree with them. I think that's a good idea to avoid that. Well, the thing is that you put, it's very dangerous. You might save your life, but what happens if that propeller slices through a car? Right. Right. Ain't nobody, ain't nobody want that in their life. Yeah. All right. Well, this fascinating stuff, as usual. Bobby, always good having you on. And if you want to hear more fantastic science coverage, all about all around science, rather, is your show. You can get it wherever you get your podcast. Anything going on in your latest episode you'd like to tell people about? Oh yeah, this is a good one. The one that just came out yesterday all around

science, so we decided to do something a little bit different. There's been all this talk about chat GPT, the chat bot you know. So we got we got chat GPT to write

us an explanation of a science topic in the form of a two-character play. And a multiple scene two-character play and Mora and I performed the play on the show. Wow. That's great. That is great. That is great. It sounds hilarious. It was very fun.

I replied to a client using it. Did you really? Yeah, I wanted to see how well it would create the email based on a few simple prompts about the reply. Yeah, did you, so would you copied and pasted the email from them into chat GPT? No, but I copied and pasted the stuff they were asking about and a little bit of background on me so it could pull some stuff up and it did it really I had to edit it wasn't perfect it thinks I host a show called something I can't remember now play courtro so I wish it was even something weird show I'd never heard of so it had

me confused in that way but it was easy to fix so with just a couple of tweaks it actually was a pretty good, well-structured and accurate email. It does a good job. You can have a conversation with it, and it remembers the things that you were talking about. Oh, that you said in the past. It felt very, it felt a little weird. I have to admit. We talk all about that on this episode that just came out yesterday.

So that's all around science. And our feature is, we talk about, it's mostly we're talking about Chad GPT, but we did it with that first. Check this out. I asked it to, this was days ago. I just saved it. I said, provide a, I think I sent this to Brian. Provide a short promotional description of the morning stream podcast. And it said, The morning stream is a daily podcast that delivers a fresh and entertaining start to your day. Hosted by Scott Johnson and Brian Abbott, this show features a mix of news, pop culture, and personal stories, all with a healthy dose of humor.

Whether you're looking for a distraction from the daily grind or just want to hear some funny stories, the morning stream is a perfect way to start your day. Tune in and join the conversation. you won't regret it. Now, here's what I love. It doesn't mention poop jokes or, yeah. It doesn't mention poop jokes, but I did the same thing for Film Sack, exact same question, but just subbed out that. And it did a really good job, but at the end it said, tune in and join the conversation. You won't regret it.

It keeps doing that every time. We talk a little bit about that in the episode, too, because what we did was, what I did was I tried to generate the script, asked it to make me a script. And then when I was like, you know, I want something a little bit different. And again, to what I was saying, it remembers, I didn't retype a prompt. I just said, that was really good. Can you do the same thing? But can you tweak this a little bit? And it just comes up with another one. And you start to see, you start to be able to see the seam line. The chinks in the armor. Yeah. Yeah, it's easy to look at it. I just tried the Joe Rogan podcast. And it ends with tune in and join the conversation. You

almost certainly regret it. Oh, it's a slight change. Oh, weird, weird. I did it for core and it got it all wrong. I said, it says the core podcast is an informative and educational podcast. I mean, dead stop there. That's definitely not what we are. But it says that helps listeners understand the complexities of the core values that shape

and drive our society. And of course ends with tune in and join the kid. Did you look up and see if maybe there's another core podcast that they're talking about? I did and I could not find anything. So I don't. it just made it up but at the end it did say tune in and join the conversation you won't regret it so fun stuff it really did it did on every single podcast description out of that line uh so robots aren't quite there yet anyway we'll get there uh bobby always a pleasure uh tomorrow you'll be here

co-hosting in the show uh sitting in for brian while he's on his appointment we appreciate you doing that for us looking for you bobby yeah it'll be great uh is there anything else you want to say or do or say nimmie get bit bit whoa that that came i didn't I didn't expect that, but I know. We'll take it. We're expecting him to get cut off mid. I think he did, and I wasn't ready. Yeah.

All right. That's it for today's show. I do want to say that play retro will be. Now, it depends on a message that's got from Dunaway because we might be doing this tomorrow now. Hold on. Yep, we're doing it tomorrow. So tomorrow at 3.30 Mountain Time, not today, but tomorrow, 330 Mountain Time on Wednesday, just this week. Normally it's Tuesdays.

We'll be doing Play Retro. We're going to talk about all the rated RR. 8-bit NES games. And by that I mean like Robocop and like Terminator and these movies that were, you know, rated our films but turned into games. Kids were supposed

to buy. Into a kid friendly games. Oh, I'm going to look, I'm Robocop and I'm going to completely destroy this gas tanker. That's right. And do it in the most rated G way possible on your console. So that'll be tomorrow

330 Mountain Time for that. And tomorrow, of course, a brand new show. with recommendals and Tom and Bobby and no Brian but we'll all be here waiting to hear stories on Thursday about how it went I can't wait. Can't wait to come back with stories about cursing her out

because she bent my leg the wrong way. That's right. Yeah, maybe she'll touch you in your private swimsuit place. You never know. You've got to be careful when these What kind of therapy is this? Excuse me, I think it's my back, not my growing? Anyway,

He says, hello, Stringstot and burghurl. Okay. I'm sure it's butchered those. On January 28th, help, help, it's happening. I will be turning the big 4-0. Let's party. He says, I think I probably started listening to Scott when I was about 24. Yikes.

Last year, Brian, Brian played me, blind prayed me, a Metallica cover. So this year, I'm hoping for a Lincoln Park cover this year. I absolutely loved the Can't Help Falling in Love, dark version by Tommy Prophet that you played on the show. So I'm thinking his version of In The End would be perfect. That's the song that first got me to singing and continues to be one of my absolute favorites. Are we still saying, oh, there we are we still saying staf? See, he even put one in there. Oh. So I wouldn't feel bad about saying Blion prayed me on the Talak covers. So are we still saying safe, saying stave? Jesus Christ. It's hard. But I, but I like

his attempt and I like how you did it. I think it was great. It was perfect. My mind's been flying because I've had to pee for like the last eight minutes and I didn't want to interrupt. I didn't want to leave and interrupt Bobby. I've just been kind of dancing. here. You're more peat than man right now. I'm more peat than man. Like everything's yellow. Anyway, in the end by Tommy Prophet from the album covers volume 1 from 2018. Here is, in the end.

All I know So, unreal. I'll I'll go I tried so hard so far but in the end It doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all

But in the end It doesn't even matter One thing I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme To remind myself of a time when I in spite of the way you were mocking me acting like I was part of your property remembering all the times you fought with me I'm surprised it got so things aren't the way

they were before you wouldn't even recognize me anymore not that you knew me back then but it all comes back to me you kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart what it meant to me will eventually Deep a memory of a time when I Got it so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter

I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter One thing I don't know why it doesn't even matter how hard to try keep that in mind i designed this rhyme to explain it to time all i know time is a valuable thing watch it fly by is the pendulum swings watch a countdown

to the end of the day the clock takes life away it's so unreal didn't look out below watch the sign go right out the window trying to hold on but you didn't even know wasted it all just to watch You go I kept everything inside And even though I tried It all fell apart What it meant to me Will eventually be a memory
