Midget and broom and whatnot. The MorningStream. I can't just give you new irises. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Tuesday, February 7th, 2023. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian David. Hi, Brian.

Oh, hello, Scott. How are you? Happy Tuesday to you as well. I got to ask you a question. Have you noticed in the last couple of days that my voice has sounded. it any different than usual um it's a little more feminine but i wasn't going to say anything and uh oh dang i was not all the people everybody's been saying it i just you know didn't want to mention it yeah you don't want to bring it up didn't want to make it you don't want to stir the pot i get it that's right no i didn't uh didn't notice i did some uh some some some some very basic sort of recalibration of mixer and mike did you used did you use the uh that adobe software thing that uh oh no no no that thing sucks for what we do because we have too much other stuff going on um that thing i figured out the use case for that adobe thing it's good for uh i recorded a thing on my phone and it was

an echo week garage or something no not not that there was a thing that am i am i completely remembering something different there was a tool that helps you get your settings correct oh no you're thinking of the tool okay so there's another tool on there that's not a nobody then right well it's don't be but it's called mic check and uh that's it let you it tells you whether your mic's on all the good ranges and stuff but that wasn't even that what i what happened to me was i was listening to film sac just went back and listen right here's a little bit inside baseball everybody i'm listening to the old shows and i'm listening to our shows sometimes sometimes not always occasionally usually it's just to like say how does everybody sound should i text randy and say hey you're mike's little on the fuzzy side or you know

these these kind of things sure so i'll do that occasionally and i did this the other day and i realized listening to myself that I was just a little bit on the robot register, just like a little too modulated or something. And I couldn't figure out why I was and nobody else was. And so I started fiddling. I just started working here. I'm not trained to use the robot register. Don't worry. We'll have you clean him back and then later you can come up front and learn how to use that. Anyway, so I decided to this thing they call, oh, now I forgot the name, but basically there's a name for this. Audio people know it. It's a, you stage your, stage

mixer staging or something like that but basically just means kind of get back to a reset of where all your basics are and then kind of tweak it out to where it fits your voice the best and I think I'm there but it took a couple of days

so I probably sounded a little tinny the other day or yesterday maybe to some people maybe it doesn't come across on Discord but it might yeah Discord might not have but I mean you obviously use the same microphone for Discord that you used for the recording

Yeah it's the same deal No, I didn't. Okay, Claire got it, gain staging. Gain staging. Yeah, which is not... Is it a detergent thing? It's what Christian Bale had to do before he became, what's his name, Cheney, Dick Cheney. He had to gain stage.

No, it's literally like, hey, put your gain in neutral, put all your other stuff down, and then work your way to a place you like. Oh, that's good, because then you don't get that hum that, you know, from people who just crank up their gain, you get, yeah, you get a lot of hum and this is a good way to avoid that. Yeah, and chat says, I sound better today, but a little nasally. I'm not nasally at all. I just think the way I have it set up, I don't know, I'll keep tweaking is what I'm saying. All right? Yeah, yeah. I'll keep at it. All right, let's get to some stuff. Brian, I brought a movie quiz for you today because you're always quizzing me. Damn it, it's time to quiz you. Okay.

Sounds good. Let's see, let's find out how little Brian knows about movies. That's right. Now, the way this one works is, I'm going to give you a series of, we'll see how many we get through. There's like 50 here. We don't have to do all 50. But there are a series of quotes, and your job is to attribute them to what film. Okay, gotcha. Now, some of these, we're going to start easy. Sure.

And then we'll work into some that are a little bit harder. Maybe none of them are. I don't know. Actually, the more I look at these. Your father fought in the Star Wars. He wanted you to have the Star Wars lightsaber. Luke? Right. No, not that easy. Okay.

Some of these are that easy. Some of them. In fact, number one starts right in that zone. So the goal here is speed, not so much accuracy, but speed. Well, accuracy matters, but because these are relatively easy. Yeah. Because you're going to be able to, you're going to have to go, oh, yeah, boom, boom, boom, boom, okay? Sure. If you get them right, if you get them wrong, I'm not actually keeping track here.

Okay. Someone in the chat want to keep track of Brian's performance. That's up to you. All right. So let's start with this one. May the Force be with you. Well, that would be Star Wars. A New Hope, Episode 4, if we want to get...

If you want to get crazy. You want to get jiby with it. Sure. Yeah. Number two, there's no place like home. That'd be your Wizard of Oz. Nice. I'm the king of the world.

That'd be Titanic. Nice. Carpe DM, seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary. What's your... Goodwill hunting? No, that's the other one. Robin Williams.

Oh, my God. Why am I blanking on this? It's a captain my captain, stand on the desk. You're getting there. Oh, geez. Oh, my God. Why am I blanking on the name of this? Nobody's saying in the chat or don't. I'm not even looking at the chat. Robin Williams, he's a teacher, inspires his students.

Stand on your desks. You dumb kids, he says, in another line in the movie. Yep, get on those desks. You screw it. I've already blown this time-wise. So let's keep, what is it? Dead Poet Society. Dead Poet Society, damn it.

That's all good. All right. Number five. Elementary, my dear Watson. Well, that's any of the Sherlock, you want me to go, hound of the Baskervilles? I'm going to give it to you because I'll give it to you. They're saying it the very first appearance was the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in 39, but I'll give it to you because you're absolutely right.

Sure. Yeah. It's alive. It's alive. It's alive. that's a Frankenstein. Correct. My mama always said life was like a box of chocolate.

That's first going to be back. I'll be back. Terminator. You're going to need a bigger boat. I was waiting for this one. Jowls. Here's looking at you, kid. That's Casablanca.

Nice. My precious. That'd be Lord of the Rings. Yeah. Houston. We have a problem. Apollo 13. I was hoping to get the number wrong.

Dang it. All right. I know. I never saw the first 12 There's no crying in baseball That's the league of their own Good Lord, you're killing it E.T phone home, oh my lord

Come on now, that'll be E.T. Cull in the extraterrestrial. Yeah, that's really literally on here. That's so stupid. E.T. colon, yeah. You can't handle the truth. I'd be a few good men. A martini shaken, not stirred, oh my lord.

First uttered in Dr. No, I believe. It says here, well, if this is correct, Goldfinger was the first time, but you knew it was James Bond. Oh, really? Yeah. They claim that. I don't know if that's true, but they claim.

It might be, you know what? He, oh, don't know if he ordered martini and Dr. No. That was the first James Bond movie, but I'm not sure if you ordered martini. Now, things get a little weird here. We're stepping it up. All right, good. Check this one. Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death.

Ooh, that sounds like a Scorsese line. I'm going to say Goodfellas. It is 1958's Auntie Mam. Auntie Maney Ames. Is that it? Never heard it. Mammie. How I love you. How I love you. Mammie, ma'am. All right. If you build it, they will come. That'd be your field of dreams. Yep. The stuff dreams are made of.

That's it. That's the line. The stuff dreams are made of. I actually knew this one, but only because I'd seen it in the last couple years. Wow. The hint is it's old. Son of Flubber. Let's see if that's correct. Is it correct? No. It is the Maltese Falcon, 1944. Oh, I've never seen it. I need to see it. that. You should. It's very good. I need to brush up on my

Bogart. Yeah. It's one of the best noir noir deals ever. Magic mirror on the wall. Who's the fairest one of all? That'd be your Sleeping Beauty. Ooh. Cinderella? Snow white in the seven doors. Snow wide. And it was

you were in there. You were in the zone. All right. Here's a keep your friends close, but your enemy's closer. Oh. Damn it. That one feels like about a thousand movies. Yeah. Let's say, let's go good fellows on that one. Nope, he was friends with Scorsese. But anyway, Godfather part two, 1974. Godfather. Shoot. Yeah, okay. I am your father.

That'd be your Empire Strikes back. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming? Yep. Oh, is that, uh, uh, uh, the abyss? let's find out oh sorry I didn't mean to hit both it is finding Nemo

2003 oh Nemo sure a lot of people in general we got that one yeah today I consider myself the luckiest man

on the face of the earth well I mean that's uh jack no not Jake Robinson that was the the guy with

uh it was Lou Gehrig said it and the film was called oh shoot it was so far you're 100% correct yes uh

Luke Erig, the man and the myth. No, I can't remember the name of the film. Dot com. It's the Pride of the Yankees, 1942. Look at this. Oh, Redfragel, killing it with this one. She's smart. You is kind, you is smart, you is important.

Oh, shit. And this is relatively newish. It is, yeah. I mean, compared to the other ones, and it's like, um, uh, precious based on the novel Sapphire by Push or, only whatever they still you're totally right it's one of those

for sure I can't remember blinds that no what is that uh you give up I give up yeah it is the help 2011

oh I've never seen that I need to see that I haven't either but it's uh but it is one of those who's the guy it's help by it's it's got one of those names like you said oh is it like the title says the novel in it or something Tyler Perry's the help or something

thing. The Diaz help. I cannot remember for the life of me. All right. Eighth fart? Oh, Chad's counting farts. That's a fantastic idea. Well, they're also keeping track of my score, I think.

Oh, good. I just got to update that law. 17, I think, is the last one. That's a great way to do it because if you just count farts and you minus that from 50 when we're done. See, that'd be easy. There we go. Yeah.

What we've got here is a failure to communicate. That is, yes, that is Cool Hand Luke. Very well done. Hosta de vista, baby. be your Terminator 2. Oh, very good. I jumped the gun, but you are correct. It did, yes. You don't understand. I could have had class. I could have been a contender. I could have been somebody instead of a bomb. On the waterfront. Nicely done. Bond, James Bond. Where did that first get out? Okay, that's Dr. No. It was definitely,

definitely the first one. You are correct? Nicely done. You talking to me? Yeah, it would be a taxi driver. Nice. Roads. Where are we going? We don't need roads. The very end of back to the future. Very good. That'll do, pig, that'll do. Babe. I love that movie. Yeah. Next to Fury Road's my favorite. My favorite movie he made.

That's the truth, by the way. Oh, I totally believe that. Yeah, I love that movie. All right. I'm walking here. I'm walking here. That's your, it's the Dustin Hoffman, not electric cowboy.

It is Midnight Cowboy. There you go. Electric Cowboy. electric cowboy first uh x-rated oscar winner or something i think so yeah by those standards that thing would have been like pg 13 today easily yeah exactly so weird um it was beauty killed uh sorry it was beauty killed the beast king of the con very nicely done uh stella hey stella streetcar name designer nicely done you're killing it uh as if that's it that's all i get that's it as if Uh, is that, uh, mean girls?

Oh, you're, you're in the rain. Oh, no, it's, uh, clueless. There you go. I'll give it to you. Yeah, I'll give it to you. It's one of these 90s era deals. Yeah. Uh, here's Johnny.

That'd be your shining. Rosebud. That was your citizen king. I'll have what she's having. What Harry met selling. Nicely done. Inconceivable. Uh, Princess bride.

All right, Mr. DeMille. I'm ready for my close up. Oh, shit. Betty Davis said that, I believe. You are correct All About Eve Incorrect Sunset Boulevard

1950 and it may have been That was not Betty Davis No it's A Hayworth One of those ladies Yeah Of that area

Oh Gloria Glorious Glorious No Not Gloria Steinem Joan Crossohn Swanson Swanson

Okay Here's one Fasten your seat belts That's going to be A bumpy ride Oh that is Betty Davis And that is

you said it before is that all about Eve you are correct nicely done okay nobody puts baby in the corner that be your dirty dancing well you know what's funny about nobody puts baby in a corner I always get that confused thinking that's from

the boxing movie of Clint Eastwood and the karate kid lady nobody puts a million dollar baby in the corner except which he's about to start boxing every time if you put me on a stage and put me under the lights and said which movie did it come from I'd probably freeze it's funny because it kind of makes sense right the movie's called million dollar baby and she starts out in the corner for every boxing match yeah i think that's what i did i physically put her in the corner uh all right well nobody's perfect oh geez okay um how do you get that that's a hard one i think that's another um is that another bogart it's another something like that um shoot not maybe not bogart but well nobody's perfect um i feel like a hundred movies A thousand movies have had that line in there.

Yeah, since then anyway. It's an old thing. It is, and I think it's the last line of the film. Todd couple, Jack Lemmon, maybe? Let's find out. Some like it hot, 1959. Some like it hot, yeah. Right?

Roughly the right era. Yeah, you're in the zone. Just a different title. Snap out of it. Oh, that's Moonstruck. Nicely done. I almost felt like Cher when I did it. Uh, here's a dumb one. You had me at hello.

Uh, so you're, uh, Jerry McGuire. Nicely done. Just show me the money. Okay, they have, uh, see, they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom. They'll never take our freedom. Braveheart. Love that movie. Uh, to infinity and beyond. That'd be your, uh, toy story. You're killing me, smalls. That's your sandlot. And finally, number 50, Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.

Again with the, we're, we're, we're ending, with Wizard of Oz? I guess so. All right. All right. Nicely done. Now, someone kept track there. What do we get? We got 40.

40 looks like. 41, I think. 41, okay, yeah, because of the door. 41 out of 50s, not bad. That's not bad. Nine, nine misses. And dead points aside I'm kicking myself for. Clearly, I need to watch more old movies.

Yeah. But that's where that's one of those deals is where you, you said goodwill hunting. Yes. I do that with those two movies all the time. Yeah. You know what? And that's because they came out of. right around the same time there you know it takes place in a in a classroom inspirational

positive movie yeah all everything seems like it's sepia toned a little bit uh it's all they're kind of the same vibe yeah i feel you i think they're given they're taking away half a point because of my um uh clueless my my stumble of bean grills into clueless oh well that's because there's 90s kids in here and they're they think those movies are good see that's the problem They all think clueless was a fine film, and they're wrong. I think clueless was a fine film, too. I don't know about that. It was okay.

And the source material, Emma. Then you know what? If you guys think that's a good movie, then no one can ever make fun of me like an Encino Man again, because I love Encino Man, all right? And I know it's not a great film, but it's a good movie. I watched a clip of that recently because somebody, um,

oh, God, what was there? somebody on there who makes like a cameo somebody who like he's one of the nerds like the chess club nerd or something and he he's a little bit part but he's like somebody huge now shoot

oh I don't know red dang it uh Paul Rudd's in there but who else would that be yeah somebody help me out here there was like a I wonder if I couldn't look at eye Paul Red was a threat even then though so I don't yeah it was I mean he was in I mean he was clueless uh like yeah

Great and clueless, but I mean, he was clueless. Oh, short round, that's right. It was, yeah, Khuiquan. Huquan, messing up his name. Yeah, it's hard to say. But he was, so there you get your two best actor nominees playing against each other in Encino Man. Oh, weird.

Yeah. Okay, I didn't know that. I didn't know. He was in that. Yeah. He's great. I like him. Yeah, he is great.

Will it blow everyone's mind to know that I only saw Goonies once and I remember hardly anything from it? Oh, really? Yeah. Goonies is like, you know, it's burned into people, and I'm like, I saw it one time. And it's not that I didn't like it. That's one of those movies that if you would have put a gun on my head, I would have said we watched it on film sex, but apparently we did it. No. I think we, it was one of the pulled ones. I swear, we always think we did a pulled one. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's right. I think that was the case. We led up to it so much, but like, all right, we're doing Goonies next week.

Yeah. Yeah. Um, let's see. Let's see. Let me take a look at just watch and see if Goonies is streaming anywhere. And you can currently watch Goonies on AMC Plus, if you have AMC Plus, which I do, but that's not a, do you have AMC Plus? No, but it's not as, you're right about it not being as common. I can probably lump that into something, though, right, Prime or whatever? Yeah, you can, well, you can rent it on Prime. You need to, listen, I've been, I've been recommendling stuff all over the board from AMC Plus because there's a lot of really good stuff on there. And obviously, you know, you need to go back and watch if you haven't watched all the better calls. Saul, you need to go do it.

I got to read that final season I got to watch of that show. Or the last, sorry, the last, I saw that first episode, and then I was like, I'm going to collect it all and binge it. Oh, wow. Okay, well, perfect. Holy mackerel. You love it. I have a lot.

I love that show. But I just saw the first episode of the final season is what you're saying. Yeah. Yeah. And then I was like, I don't want to wait every week. And then I was like, okay, fine. I'm not waiting every week for Last of Us. That one, we're watching day and date.

Yeah, that one I can't avoid. Other than this week, I'm going to do them both on Friday. But other than that, I'm pretty much week to week on that. All right, let's move on. Hey, whenever you invoke the name Paul Hollywood, I get excited. Yes, so Tina's birthday yesterday, I told her I was going to make her a cake. She said, I said, what kind would you like? She says, I don't know.

And so I said, all right, how about if I make a Swiss roll? because I've never made one of those and I'd like to try my hand at it. So what a Swiss roll is, you take a, you basically make a really light sponge. There's no butter in it. It is like whipped, eggs that have been whipped it to a frenzy with powdered sugar and not even granulated, or not even castor sugar. Yeah. But, but, um, wait, castor sugar is like normal, like, you'd think of his sugar, like, uh. No, it's sugar that you dust onto things.

Oh, like powdered? like uh yeah powdered sugar oh okay okay i've never heard a caster before that name castor castor sugar is your typical sugar oh that's okay that's what i meant yeah so castor is just the sugar you get out of a thing that looks like white granulated sugar gotcha okay fair enough uh so i made the sponge and you're supposed to kind of while it's still warm and pliable um you fill it you put your fillings on there i did even though it recommended uh or suggested jam uh i wanted uh uh i wanted uh cherry pie filling because we love the mix

of cherries and whipped cream and then a layer of whipped cream and so what I did is I added some almond extract to the whipped cream to give it kind of a cherry almond flavor which is just a great combination sounds amazing the world the earth here in Colorado is a little dry

it's a little dry Scott and unfortunately as I was rolling it we had a couple cracks so it turned into a Swiss fold as opposed to a Swiss roll but it tastes amazing but it doesn't look as good as it tastes well people that's the problem so paul hollywood would have liked he would have said it tastes very good but he would have a problem with your presentation that's what you're saying yeah exactly it looks like you know when you have to fold an envelope into a letter into thirds to put it an envelope kind of like that

except uh your letter is full of whipped cream and cherries i think the cherries also screwed screwed me because they provided more lumps and variables for the, the cake to fold around, the sponge to fold around. So, yeah, it's... It sounds fantastic, though. Tasty-wise. I'll send you a photo. Once you cut the sides off, I mean, there's a, you know, there's a definite spiral there.

It's just like if you didn't know how to use the spline tool in Illustrator and you tried to make a spiral. Okay, now I get it, but now I totally good. Using just line segments, yeah. How sad is it that I understand it way more now that you made it, you know, you put it in my world and I get it now. Yes, exactly. That's fantastic. All right. Well, we're going to do some news today.

And later, here's the good news. Later, we got Bill. He makes things. He'll be on. Sure. Bobby, he does science things. He'll be on. Sure.

And then even more. We got a voicemail later from Gary from Lantronic slash Lot B. slash wherever he is now. He's retired. Well, I guess that, too. Yeah. Black Spire Outpost. That's right. And he's got stuff to say.

I guess he's still recovering from his second bout of COVID. He is. Yeah. Which kind of sucks. But he took some time to call in and tell us a funny story. So we'll get to that all soon enough. But now the news. It's time for the news brought to you by.

Finding blood all over the porch and thinking it must be human, but figuring out it was just two stray cats fighting. Yeah. So a quick story. My daughter and wife, for some reason, have taken it upon themselves. I think I've talked about this before. But they want to keep feeding these stray cats that come around the house. And they don't ever come in the house. They just are outside. And one of them was pregnant once, had a bunch of kittens. Then the kittens were lost. It was super sad. So we're always trying to just like keep them alive, these two cats. We don't know who they belong to. They don't have collars or just strays. So we put a little bowl out. Do they strut right by with their tail in the air? One of them does. Absolutely. And I think he's responsible for the blood. bloodshed. So these two will happen is the one, the strutty one will usually come around the back. And the mama one, they call her honey for some reason. I don't like that name, but she comes to the front. And once in a while, the twain shall meet. They'll both be in the front. And you'll hear like total freak out outside and we'll rush out there just to sort of break it up or whatever. And usually it's no problem. But the other day, it was so bad. When I went out of the front door, there was like blood everywhere from these cats. And like, I mean,

like dripping big globules like like dex you have to call dexter and have him come do a full workup of the blood he's going to like connect little pieces of yarn to show where the blood spatter traveled yeah yeah basically we were doing it was it was that kind of c s i kind of thing and i now i've not and we haven't seen one of the cats in a while so i'm a little worried oh no okay so anyway that's what that's about usually those things don't get so vicious that it ends in bloodshed usually like one of them says all right uncle and runs off but uh not in this case yeah i'm worried that some FedEx dude or someone's going to come by and see this blood, which is really hard to get out in the cold.

I can't scrub it out very well. So it's still sort of there. So I don't know if people see that and go, a murder has taken place here or whatever. And you know, there are certain things you can't use to try and clean up because I guess Grissom will show up with his black light and say, oh, look at that. They had blood here and they tried to clean it up with dishwashing liquid. Oh, yeah. Oh, you know what?

I have a black light. I should take it out there. That could be fun You can still see the blood Well that's true But I just kind of want to see what it looks like You want to see it blow? Yeah sure

I wonder where that is All right Later I'm doing that Cool And then that's the only place I'm taking it Because I don't want to be freaked out By other weird things on things That I don't know about

I know Yeah whatever you do Don't bring it to Vegas No no no Leaving that home Also the dog barfed on my wife's comforter Yesterday so that was good Oh on her comforter

Do you have two separate comforters? No but it's funny you say that. I didn't realize my bias until I said it. I don't like the comforter because it makes me really hot, too hot. Even on cold nights, I feel like I'm sweating in there, so I hate that freaking thing. So I refer to it as her thing. So she says, your dog puked on my comforter. So that's why we've got the, that's how the ownership worked out. Anyway, let's move on to this story.

Michigan boy, age six, spent $1,000 on Grubhub. yeah you don't want to give your kid the phone i guess doorbell just kept ringing cars kept coming is the quote the doorbell just kept ringing a six-year-old michigan boy went on a wild one thousand dollar spending spree uh he was like he was on a game show it says here using his father's grubhub account ordering large amounts of food from numerous area restaurants the food piled up very quickly for keith stone house of chesterfield township in metro detroit on saturday while he was home with his son, Mason, and with his wife, Kristen. They were

away at the movies with some friends. Doesn't make sense. Hold on. The wife and the husband are away. I know. There's a date. Yeah. His home alone with his son Mason, comma, with his wife, Kristen, away at the movies with some friends. But it should be, you know, they should have used while his wife, Kristen, was away at the movies with some friends. Because they do

too many with his son Mason, with his wife, Kristen. Away at the movies with some friends. There's so many with some. Yeah, it's horribly written. It's terribly written. I don't know what they were thinking there. Anyway, this is like something out of a Saturday Night Live skit, says Stonehouse, who says he still isn't laughing. Okay. Which is much like a Saturday Nighter.

This is like the last three skits on any SNL. About one o'clock in the morning. Yeah, that's pretty bad. I was probably, oh, do you see that, you saw the one with the Mario Kart. Mario Chart, yeah. Dude. That was next level stuff. That was so good.

They are, they're pre-recorded stuff. is fantastic. The stuff they do with the three writers, the pre-recorded bits with those guys is fantastic. The music videos they do. Their pre-recorded game is on point. I agree. I would watch that show.

Ironically, I would watch this Mario show with Pedro Pascal's, the role of Mario. Yes. And when he gruffly... These mushrooms make me feel big. When he turns to the camera, when she pokes him and says,

I need your help and he... Or what's your name? And he goes, it's a me. It's a Mario. Like, deadpans, you can say it. Joel voice, amazing. Amazing. Anyway, there was something out of a Saturday Night Live skit.

He says, okay, the next day I was at an eight, and now I am at about a three. I don't really find it funny yet, but I can laugh with people a little bit. It's a lot of money, and it kind of came out of nowhere. So I guess he had to pay it. There's no, like. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You can say, oops, sorry. I know you made all this food restaurants, but sending it back. You think, you know, DoorDash and Grubhub are expensive now. Wainty's order a thousand bucks worth of food. Ooh, boy. Anyway, the kids, what? How old do you say?

Six years old? Yeah, cut the kid a break. Don't give them your phone. How about that? Yeah, exactly. Who's to blame here? The parent who didn't supervise their kid ordering food on Grubhub or the kid? Yeah. And also, there's details missing. Like, did he order it all? And then bing bong, bing bong, bing bong. And then they had their phone back by then. So they knew the damage was done and it was just rolling in at that point. Or did they not know he was still ordering food when some food was arriving? Like... Right. I'm curious as to how many different restaurants. I mean, this kid just went down like he's spending his winnings on the old Wheel of Fortune ceramic Dalmatian kind of thing. Like, oh, I'll take the... I'll take the Schwama for 75 bucks. I'll take the four large big Macs for 18. Yep, yep.

Just, I feel like you, you're partially responsible there, dad. Yeah. I hate to tell you this. Six-year-olds aren't supposed to be responsible, but you are. Yeah, from Chicago asked, how is the kid paying for the food? Well, he's paying for it because the phone, the app has the dad's credit card information connected to it. So all he has to do is just say, order it, done. Yeah, yeah.

you don't have to there's no pay at the door it doesn't have to enter the card every time or do anything like that he's basically no yeah if you if i go use door dash right now for taco bell it will arrive all you need to do is just say done done purchase yeah it's parent that's the whole thing so it is the parent's fault absolutely yeah uh let's move to this story tylonall murder investigator investigators rather order a new DNA test on key evidence from 1982 now the reason i put this story in here is because i just watched a documentary about this oh about this specific one yeah now you remember when we were kids yeah 82 was was we were we were 13 12 13 years old yeah whatever we were and uh there was a huge freak out because basically people were dying from ingesting um tampered with Tylenol right and uh they were just buying Tylenol the store took it home took it and we're dead within 10 minutes um and it was scary uh of course it was very few incidents like it was only let's see how many it even says here um or maybe it doesn't anyway the documentary i watched it was like it affected like four different families or something and this is like you know people of a certain generation remember when

Tylenol didn't have that protective foil seal on the on the bottle you basically could go into the store and just open the bottle of Tylenol and it didn't even have like a the the hold down and turn and all that yeah no of that stuff was there. There's a whole like an entire swath of federal legislation that came out of it. Yeah, the cotton. It was also a chunk of cotton. I don't know if the cotton. Did they add the

cotton later? Was that already a, I don't know. No, I think they already had it. But, uh, but all that stuff came out of this story. And the, the worst part of the story was they never actually nailed down the dude, uh, or parties, uh, who did it. Oh, wow. Okay. So it's an unsolved murder, a bunch of murders. And the person they think did it is in jail for other things. And it,

I think it is him after watching this documentary, but they didn't have any, like, proof in 82, he didn't have DNA. There's like, I mean, we had DNA, but we didn't have a way to, you know, check against it. Um, all that stuff. So, anyway, they're reopening it and doing DNA tests. Yeah. And if that guy, I mean, do they, do they have the, like, bottles that they can see if he's touched kind of thing? I assume they still, probably still in some kind of deep storage evidence they have the original bottles, yeah. So, I mean, it might be, they'd have to be really, I mean, that's stuff so old now, right?

Right. I know. Yeah. Some reports say it could have been a humor bomber. They brought that up in the dock, but they kind of, it didn't match up that it was him. But I don't think it's him. I think it's this other dude whose name is not in this article. But anyway, it's a pretty intense story if you've never heard it.

And it goes, there's two things going on. One, it was an actual tampering that led to deaths, but it was also created a panic that outsized the risk. It was ridiculous. Overkill panic, which is what we do around here in this country. So every time, or maybe other countries, too, I don't want to leave you guys out. But we do this. We freak out about a thing that's actually small. The kids are putting vodka and tampons and shoving them up their butts.

Right. Or there's razor blades in all of your Halloween candy or whatever it is. Although I'm glad you went with the alcohol-soaked tampons in the bus. Yeah. Because that one felt like the most egregious one most recently, right? Yeah, it was pretty bad. You know, there's the current one. And, well, the current one might be more widespread than we think,

but it's like fentanyl-laced edibles, marijuana edibles. Or are people putting their edibles in kids? This concept of people that have edibles, which are expensive. Yeah. and that are now putting them as a mean thing to do and putting it in kids bags when they come around for Halloween is just utter bullshit nobody spends money on those edibles to then give them away yes give me a freaking break but anyway that stuff happens all the time NyQuil chicken that's a recent one remember that people cooking chicken and

the NyQuil eating tide pods like all this stuff is just we're so bad at memory we're so bad at remembering how things were I'm so fired up today because of the stupid Sam Smith thing about a song I can't even stand and about a performance I thought was annoying. Apparently I need to watch a video of this thing. The whole world thinks that Satan's on his way and this was some kind of seance to bring him back and I just look at everyone. I just want to look him in the face and go, are you freaking kidding me?

You bunch of cavemen? What are you doing? I was here when Ozzy ate the head off a bat. I was, I'm old enough to remember when Madonna and Britney Spears made out on stage while holding snakes um right i'm i've been around long enough to hell these people that are making this claim now they grew up with maryland manson i'm like what are you talking about satanic panic two point oh i'm now looking at the the uh devil horn's top hat that sam smith wore and oh geez do you remember the you ever like a prayer it's so comical you know it reminds me of it reminds me of

Danny Elfman, when he played as the devil in I think Forbidden Zone and did the Mini the Moocher song. This is how comical devil it looks. Yeah. It's ridiculously stupid. And the reason

that they add additional meaning to it is because Pfizer was one of the sponsors of the Grammys as a whole and they ran their title card after that performance. So you know when you have a performance and the camera zooms out and they show Grammy statue and it says

Tonight's Grammys brought to you in part by Coca-Cola. Get the cool taste of and then they go to commercial. They did that with Pfizer. So people are linking the two and saying, oh, well, Sam Smith out there doing devil shit. And Pfizer, uh, see, that proves the whole thing. Proves what?

You dumb asses. You weirdos, you correlation, uh, I just can't stand it. I can't stand it. I can't stand it. People were telling me about back, backmasking lyrics and free Paul's dead and all this bullshit. Old people suck. Quit listening to them.

They really do. They don't have your best interests of heart. For real. They really don't. Oh, my Lord. Yeah. Anyway. Oh, can I tell you this fun story that happened?

Yeah. This is a quick one. As part of this, I had just said to, I can't remember what the reply was, but basically I just said, you know, this is, are you guys all acting like history never happened? And I was bringing up other examples and, you know, kiss and wasp and you know all these all this fake satanic panic stuff in the past it's just no different d and d whatever and this lady replies and she says are you developmentally challenged can't you read gosh she goes can't you read the writing on the wall and then she gives me a video

of somebody taking the fyser logo which is just the name fizer yeah in that font they use light blue future italic i believe yes this person took all the letters moved them around kind They're trying to make an anagram. So they move it around, and then part of the P, they had to take the lid off the P, like the round part of the P. They brought it down. Anyway, at the end of it, they kind of spelled Lucifer, even though it was a Z for F. So that's what she sent me. And I said, and she had this name, her Twitter name with some jumble of letters.

And so I wrote back and I said, I can do this too. I took out some of your letters and mixed them around and it spells Pito. I said, look, I can play this incredibly stupid game, too. And then I replied, she blocked me immediately. Good. Yeah. Yeah. But the point is, like, I guess here's, here's, I need to get away from people.

People suck. And I don't mean you guys and I don't mean Brian and I don't mean people I like and respect. I'm talking about the rest of these whack-a-doos sucker punchers that all suck big weiner donkey. I don't like them. I'm done with them. I'm finished talking to you. people. All right? You're all freaking me the F out. Sorry, go ahead. I found the Lucifer. Like you have to, yeah, you take off the round part of the P, flip it down, move the Z. And that's not even how you spell

Lucifer, by the way, people. And then the, you take off the chunk of the F, separate the F. This is so ridiculous. It's so dumb, dude. It's the dumbest thing. There it is. Chat, look at that. So the concept is, me move the subs and see the whole thing. But you have to really use your imagination to move this stuff around exactly you can do like you said like you said to her you can actually do it with anything yeah you could probably you can make a lot of words out of the the curves and straight lines that are used for the word Pfizer you wouldn't believe the shit I can make out of the name Brian a bit it's insane oh I'm sure yeah you know or my name doesn't matter right doesn't matter who you are it's so I'm not going to do it but it's so stupid

and when people do this like this thing and want me to take it seriously It makes me want to pour gas on it and burn it all down, you weirdos. Yeah. All right. Sure. Tylon all. Anyway, they're reopening the deal. I love the cold case aspect of this, though, for sure.

I do, too. I like a good cold case. It feels like there aren't enough old 80s things getting dug up yet, but I like when they do that. All right. Here's a fun one for you, the Apple people. Brian and I are Apple people, I suppose. We're Apple people. Made from apples.

The Apple crash detection, you know, the thing, if you fall real hard with your phone or your watch and it'll, you know, report stuff. Well, anyway, it triggered, in this particular case, triggered 100 false alarms in a Japanese Alps emergency services thing. So check this out. This is emergency responders in Japan near skiing areas are troubled by the numerous crash detection alerts they are getting on the phone, on the iPhone 14. Oh, sure. According to Apple Insider, there's an influx of emergency calls at Japanese fire departments near skiing areas. as iPhone 14 models are triggering false crash reports because people are wiping out on their

on their skis. Even going off a jump, like going off a jump and landing probably could trigger it. I mean, who knows? Yeah. So they're sending all these false things and it got me to thinking like, what's the solution here?

Because I actually think it's a cool idea that it's there. It is, yeah. Yeah. I think, and plus, here's the other thing. Like, if you run into a tree, that's a crash that you would, like, it's skiing, so it's not like you can say, well, I'll just turn it off while I'm skiing, because you really still want, you want that thing on in case there's a skiing emergency.

Right. I don't know, man. What do you, what is the solution there? Yeah, I'm, let's see, it goes on to say. Maybe if it shows that you're still moving after the crash detection and saying, oh, okay, well, we'll give it a second. They're back up. They're moving, so it's fine. Well, some of that stuff that you can obviously refine, right?

But like, here's the big, here's the big problem here. a countdown will commence on the iPhone's user device on the interface with a siren with a sound that will let the person say hey we we think we detected a wipeout if you didn't hit this and it'll cancel it so that exists but the problem is you're skiing you're covered in like four layers of coats and shit and you're out in the nowhere and you got maybe even headphones in you don't hear this yeah you don't know that it's going off right you're not going to see you're not going to feel that it's especially if it's in your pocket you're not going to feel that it's going

of. Elsie Knight says would it would go off while water skings well yeah probably would but you probably shouldn't

have your phone on you when your water sking yeah I mean probably not they're water resistant but you know if you're on a motorboat

on choppy waters and you're like as you go through that probably could even trigger it because it's some heavy you know heavy smash and yeah I don't know

what the see I don't know what the upper limit is I wonder what the yeah I guess you'd have to well I guess wiping out on a ski slope and then getting up again is that's the answer that is the

I think so yeah just before the countdown starts see if give it a small amount of time four or five seconds and if the little dot if the little blip

starts moving again or is even moving while it's you know crashed and it's moving immediately then have it not do its crash protection thing Well, I hope, I don't know if anyone, I've probably nobody in our chat, but I just wonder if anyone can write in and say whether you had this ever go off. And if you did, be curious.

Yeah. If you did, what was the circumstances? Did you notice it and say, don't worry about it? Was it an actual emergency? We almost always get somebody who's had some experience with it. So I'd love to hear what happened to you guys. So let us know. In the meantime, we are going to take a break.

When we come back, it'll be some time with Bill, which is an anagram for Lib. Oh, I knew he was a liberal. Oh, no, my gosh. See, that's, look, you can do it. You can do it with Bill, man. Yep. And Bobby, he's boybo. Oh, boybo.

Boybo. I don't even want to tell you what the word science anagrams to. The patterns are real. Wake up, sheeple. Anyway, that's coming up after this break, which Brian will provide in the form of a song. Yeah, let's go to Richmond, Virginia for this one. A band formed in 2013. called Keep. They're an alternative rock band and very influenced by 80s goth music as well as

like shoegaze pop and grunge. Very, you know, I get a big stone roses vibe from this, some of the early cure stuff. Hello, the cure. I love the cure. This is from the brand new album, Happy End here. This is the first single from the album. It is called Desani Daydream. He drank some water and had a daydream about it. He's a big fanish liker. He took his advice. I get it. That's right.

He's staying hydrated. Yeah, it's fine. It's totally fine. All right. We'll play that song. We'll be back in a moment. Stay tuned. Like the picture I'm just lost in the train

There's new world in a line I'm fighting away I'm fighting away I'm fighting away I'm fighting away and love the world and I can rise and I'm still living in a while

trying To be able to try To get your mind To try I was spiraling through the feeling I grew as part of myself I'm sliding

like the world's voice wine I'm But you make mine I Still in ride

trying Yeah still in run to try Try You know I'm trying

You know Try Try Try tomorrow tonight tonight tomorrow

tomorrow Try Try To try I'm old are you old. You're not old. You're not even a person. You're a testicle.

No, I have no idea who you are. don't really give the damn. The morning stream. Hey, that doesn't seem very loud at all, does it? Does it? Hello, hello, hello, hello. Hello, governor. Hello.

That's better. Now, that's a knife. Hello, governor. Chip, chip, pip, cheerio, and all that. Oh, jolly good. Oh, that'll put the shrimp on the bobby. I can go for a fastest. Or I can go for a foster's.

Fasters. Foster's. That's better. Hello. Hello. You're right there? You're okay? Somebody need to reboot Fletcher?

Someone reboot Fletcher. And then write down the song that Brian talked about. Well, who was it again? Oh, I can't remember after all that time. The song is by the band Keep from the brand new release, Happy in here. That is a song called Desani Daydream. Love it. Love it.

brand placement there in that song. Yes, it is. Sponsored by Coca-Cola. I had to look up and see if Desani, like, was another, is it another word for something, right? That Coke just kind of adopted. No, they actually came up with that name.

It's a fake, it's a fake name. Really? I didn't know that. They made it up. I would have sworn. It was something real. Desani has no history in the English language prior to, uh, huh. Yeah. Well, I feel like I learned something new. Good job. Coke. Yeah. They're always full of new information.

So is this guy. Your bat caves open there, Bill. Bill Duran, who calls his home and office, the Pacific Northwest, and a little company he calls punishprops.com, which you can find with any regular old-fashioned web browser. But you can also go to his YouTube channel at Punish Props on YouTube. Hey, Bill, welcome back to the show. How are you?

Hello? Good morning. I'm doing great. Good. I'm glad because my maker week isn't complete. Neither is Brian's until you come on and tell us what the hell you're doing and inspire us fledgling makers that just look to you like some sort of god sitting on a hill with great information for us wow demigod at most oh okay that's fine then you're like to be you're like you're like hercules then you know not quite zeus not quite you know one of those guys but full on hercules hey that seems like an okay thing to be

called yes uh anyway bill what's going on today i can't wait to feel creative Oh, how do you feel about ceramics? Oh, my gosh. You're surrounded by ceramics, whether you know or not. Didn't you do, didn't you have a wheel or something? Or am I thinking of somebody? I might be thinking of somebody else. You're thinking of somebody else? I never had a, you're asking me if I had a wheel?

Yeah, I thought you had a pottery wheel. But that was the thing. My mom was really into pottery and stuff when I was a kid. So I would constantly be going with her to these places where she would be making pottery. And I can't remember if there was a wheel there. But probably, I'm sure there had to be. But, yeah, no, it was fun as a kid. I haven't done much of it since.

Did a class, but that's it. Yeah, that's cool. Somebody we know, is it Red Fraggle? Maybe. Oh, that's right. Red Fraggle absolutely does pottery because I'm helping her make a stamp for her pots. That's right. Oh, that's great.

You're going to 3D print that? Yeah, yeah. It's like a little stamp that she can put on the bottom that's got her brand and stuff like that. Oh, that's awesome. Oh, yeah. And then someone's pointing out Bonnie Brushwoods spent heavy, heavy into the surrounding quickly. Yeah, she's, she is the arts and the farts over there. She's, she kicks, kills it with her stuff.

I love her work. So good. They all got hooked on a ghost and thought, well, I'm going to, uh, waiting for an erotic encounter with a ghost. Right, exactly. Never quite count. It's all starts. Everyone knows that's where pottery first began. Yeah, exactly.

It was invented by Patrick Swayze. Yep. Like so many things. So are you getting into it or what? What's going on over there? So I have a friend who's been getting into it. So I've been talking about it a lot. But also my mom, her major in college was ceramics.

And she taught a lot of it as an art teacher. She's retired from teaching. But now she has a little pottery studio in my parents' barn. Cute little room with a pottery wheel and a kiln. So she's been doing a ton of that stuff. I have lots of bowls and mugs made by. my mom, which is always really great. I'm going to pour a bowl of cereal

into a bowl that my mom made. Nice. Really awesome. Very cool. Very cool. Indeed. Also, I've mentioned this show before, but the Great Pottery Throwdown on HBO Max. It's like the Great British Bake Off meets pottery.

So it's just delightful. So very positive. Nobody's like, I didn't come here to make friends. Right. No. No, at the end, someone has to leave every episode they all cry and hug. So it's like great. This is the British Bake Off method model.

I prefer that so much. I wish more people to do that. I can't even turn on stuff that isn't like that. I can't even do it anymore. I'm spent on it. So yeah, if you tell me that, I will. This is one actually been meaning to watch and you've talked about it. I don't know, a dozen times.

Haven't gotten around to it. Maybe, maybe finally. You know, like get in there and watch that damn thing. Seems like it's good. So as a hobby, ceramics is very. really, really fantastic because you only need clay. You can just buy some clay. That's all

you need to get started. You can make stuff by hand. You don't have to use a pottery wheel or anything. You can just completely sculpt it by hand, literally with your fingers. You don't even need sculpting tools. Although I will say, once you go to a pottery store and you see all the really neat tools that they have, you're going to want to get

all of them. Because they're neat, and there's lots of them. Nice. But like I said, just kidding. started super easy. You just need clay and then you can let it dry at home. Let's say you make a little cereal bowl. Let it dry at home and then to fire it, you can find a local

ceramic studio that'll fire it for you. Now, I live near Seattle. I get it. I live near a big city. But there are at least two pottery studios within 10 minutes of my house. And there's more in closer to Seattle. So you should be able to find a place that has a kiln that can

pay a couple bucks to fire your pieces for it's pretty cheap because I've seen those where they can just fill the kill to the and they wait until they have like enough stuff to run it and then they uh then it just like you say just pennies on the dollar basically to get them get all that put in there yeah uh yeah and then uh making friends with people out of ceramic studio is really great uh also making stuff out of ceramics is great for gifts uh like i said my mom has given me many many things uh that she's made over the years. And if you do get into using a pottery wheel and you're going to make like, let's say a series of mugs, you can sit at the wheel and just crank out a whole bunch of like the same

mug for like a bunch of gifts for, like if you want everyone in your family to get a mug for Christmas. You can see something like that. Nice. Now when you are ready, like I said, I mentioned the pottery wheel, you can level up to that when you're ready to either get the equipment yourself, or if you've got a local studio near you, it's very likely that they have classes and they'll let you use their equipment. The clay is cheap and

pretty forgiving to work with, so you can get a lot of practice. And you will need a lot of practice to get the repetition and you really get the hang of using something like a pottery wheel. But that's the fun. That's the fun of it. You get to be messy, you know?

You get to experiment. If it doesn't work out, you just lump the clay back up again, smash it down onto your wheel and start over. So you get to have a lot of fun experimenting as you learn how to do it. And all of your early pieces that don't look very good,

you just make those into gifts? You just give them away? It's basically a candy dish or an ashtray for the person that doesn't smoke. Yes. Totally, yes. Yeah. So over the summer, we were in visiting my parents

and Brittany got to get a personal lesson, pottery wheel lesson from my mom. So she got to make a whole bunch of stuff. And she did all the throwing, which is the term for sitting at the wheel and making a poorly shaped ashtray. That's called throwing. Learn that the hard way. So she got to get a personalized lesson and make a bunch of stuff. And her first stuff obviously wasn't terribly great, but she left it all there. and my mom glazed and fired it for her

and then mailed it to us. So we have a bunch of stuff that Brittany made here too. Nice. What do you think about investing in your own oven or kiln? Do you think that's worth it? I think you want to get to a point

where you're making enough to make enough things consistently to justify it. However, if you have friends that are into it and you could be the friend that fires everyone's stuff or if you and a bunch of friends want to go, go in together and getting a kiln, that's probably a better, better option.

They can be pretty pricey. They're big, heavy, and can be a little pricey. But if you're doing enough, then it's worth it. You just got it. You don't want to have a kiln that's just sitting there all the time. Yeah. No, that makes sense, right? So have a little sub-business.

It's a little like, you know, if you're going to own a 3D printer. Maybe do, like, Brian, sell some stuff on. Yeah, maybe do, sure. Yeah, still you finish my spot-off. I keep calling it spot up on my Shopify store. Oh, yeah, so I'm going to ask you about that. You made progress on that, I guess, yeah? No, I have not.

I've been so busy with lifting and podcasting and having to change out the FEP and now potentially the LCD panel on my resin printer, damn it, because it was a hole and stuff got actually hardened onto the glass. I can not scrape it off. I'm using a plastic razor blade and is just not coming off. Sure. So, replacing that anyway. But, yeah, no, hoping to get that stuff on Shopify very soon.

Someone in the chat pointed out there's a website called Kiln Share. Oh, brilliant. Yeah. Makes finding or renting a kiln easy. Yeah. Very good. Yeah, kiln share. That's pretty cool.

That's a great idea. Yeah, but I just always. I want to believe it's an app like Uber or Lyft. Yeah. right yeah you just like you punch it in and then like it shows kilns uh going or driving around to your neighborhood and you yeah yeah whatever one's nearby bill did you ever use so in high school we had this kill or i guess it was just an oven or i don't i guess it was a kiln but basically we would sculpt in wax this this horrible brown deep brown wax stuff that we would get sure um

and we would create whatever item out of this wax and then we would put it how did this work we put it in the oven and then the wax melted but left a shell maybe it was more like a oh you'd have to put it in like a refractory like plaster right right yeah that must have been it melt the wax out of that to make

it must have been it it was more like a relief in the inside of it or whatever now we had a mold um is that a thing that is fun to do today like yeah okay so that's not not really a ceramics thing but um for casting let's say bronze into a mold that's

how you would do it. It's called lost wax casting. Right. And there's a bunch of different things you can cast that way. Nice. It's really good. So the way that works, the mold itself gets destroyed with every use, so you'd have to remake it each time. So if you're going to make a bunch of those, you would make a silicone mold,

and you would cast your wax copies out of that. So you can make as many as you want, and then those wax copies get put in the plaster and then baked out and then cast metal into it. I'm saying I haven't done that before, but I would really love to do that build a little forge to melt ingots of metal i'm totally into

that idea that's cool that's really cool we used to do so side story that don't i don't recommend this you might get like put in juvie for it but we took some of that wax was just the exact same color as uh bronze it was a look like finished bronze if you just looked at it you go oh that looks like a bronze thing yeah and we had the bright idea of going down to this bank so there's this bank that was near the high school that had a mascot or something outside of the statue, a bronze statue of this guy with his arms out and his legs kind of tucked down in a briefcase on one hand and he was like a businessman flying, you know, it was like some kind of bank thing. I don't know.

Anyway, big giant life-sized statue of this guy. So what we thought would be funny is if we got a bunch of that wax from the teacher and made a big old phallic looking weiner. Yeah, of course you would. Yep. Because it's the same bronze as the statue. Yeah, took it down there, tried to make sure nobody was watching and went shunk right between that guy's legs and ran. And that thing stayed there until, I don't know, about three days when the weather heated up and then kind of melted down its leg.

It was great. It was great. I don't regret it. But I don't, I'm not necessarily saying to the kids, go ahead and do that now is what I'm saying. All right. Disclaimer. Disclamer. You didn't hear from me.

Anyway, sorry. Bill, this all sounds great. I love it. Yeah. Let's make some pot. Oh, yeah. And the most fun part I think about the whole ceramics thing is you get to glaze it. So instead of paint, you use glazes that get brushed on and then get baked into it.

And there are just countless types of glaze and finishing techniques that you can do. And they're really fun. And you get really neat effects that you can't get with paint. And mixing and matching them makes some pretty astonishing results. So that's part of the fun. Getting to, again, to experiment a lot with that is super, super fun. very cool all right well now you guys have your your marching orders get out there and make some damn pottery all right yeah it's a cool fun thing to do with kids too my mom uh did a little class for her

grandkids got a bunch of clay they all sculpted little things by hand and then she took them home to fire them and it's great nice good thing to do with your nephews yeah no for real that's great um i feel like i there's still some things that my kids made when they were younger that they made you know some pottery and stuff that we will never get rid of we'll keep that stuff until the end of time and uh it's it's amazing so yeah especially with your kids man get out there and make some cool stuff i still have this super cool guy that uh that amy made for us oh look at that yep it's awesome yeah my uh my daughter when she was in junior high they made um she's such a nerd i think it's junior high and if carter's listening she can confirm but she made a um colonel tie

bust oh really yeah because it was right around the time bsg was at high school she said it's okay um it says bsg uh and she loved it and she made this colonel tie bust it still sits outside in the garden like a gnome just staring at people as they walk by it's amazing yeah i'll have to get a picture of it it's the weirdest it's the weirdest it's the weird sight when you come past our house but we're not changing it it's staying right there anyway this is great uh bill as always the inspiration is real and uh we also like it when you bring a little extra something did you bring something extra? Sure, it did. Our pal Ali Spagnola made a ska song, so I have to talk about it. So Ali covered a Taylor Swift song as a ska cover. And it's with a long, she got helped

by the guy from ska tune networks. And he does a great job of explaining like how to make a ska sound, which is really fun. Yeah. And the song is obviously high energy and a really really, really great time. Yeah. Well, because Ali Spagnol is high energy, so of course. That's right.

She doesn't know how to not, she doesn't know how to chill to sit in and does not do anything. No, no downtime ever, it seems like for her. She's always doing something good on her. Yeah, good on her. She's awesome.

Go check that out. She is all over the YouTube's and the TikToks and everywhere else if you are looking for Alley Spadnala. Bill, it's always good talking to you, man. I hope your week is great. And whatever it is we talk about next week will be even cooler.

for me and with us. Oh, yeah. Bye now. Punishprops.com, everybody. Jimbeard on Twitter. All the things. Yeah. All right. Hey, Brian, you want to do science? So we science up the joint? All right. I'm all for that idea. Love that idea. Feels like everything around us is science. It certainly can be explained with science. That's right. Why is my, what is my leg hurt? Ah, science. Yep. Yep. Also, I don't want to freak you people out at home, but look at this. If you mix up the letters, in conservative, you get cave investor. Oh, look at that. If you mix up the letters in liberal, you get air bell.

Wake up, sheeple! Wake up! All right. Let's get Bobby in it and make something happen. Here's his theme right here. Science. Science is right. And Bobby is also often right.

He is here and not flying an airplane this morning, although maybe he did. I don't know. Bobby, welcome back to the ship. show. How are you? I'm all right. Can you hear me? Do I sound all right? Yeah, you're just fine. You sound great. Yeah. Did you change something? I did not fly this morning. It got canceled, but I have, I'm on a different backup mixer because the podcaster's worst nightmare happened to me. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. My mixer,

the something on the board blew. Oh, no. Oh, shoot. That's a rare thing, but. Last night. Let me tell you, you actually sound amazing. So I'm not, I'm not here to say that your old mixer sucked. I'm just saying when the backup one sounds pretty good. You know how you've been talking about, earlier you were talking about how you made some settings changes. I have to do the same thing with the old one. I ordered a replacement,

but I think I found out, I'm going to do some DIY electronics stuff, I think, because I think I found the culprit. I'm sending you a picture. Oh, please. I opened up the mixer. It's this big mixer. Oh, wow.

and if you see there for those listening at home it's just a capacitor with some capacitors with some a diode yeah I think I see the problem right there yeah I think I see your issue there's your problem there's your problem

I think you blow a diode because if you see I've got my mixer opened up that's hilarious so just go to Radio Shack buy a new diode solder it in place and you're fine oh one problem

yeah I ain't got no bad at microcenter. Probably, right? We don't have a micro center. I'm probably going to have to go online and order one. I have, I have, like, very amateurish experience with soldering. But those larger components aren't that bad, so I'm going to try. I've already ordered a replacement.

It's just, it's an expensive mixer, so I would like to. Yeah, no, if you can fix it, think of the things you could learn, and you just use a little solder, a little hot iron, you're good. Yeah. Amazon, I've got the backup, which I don't like, because the reason I got the new mixer was because it made it so I didn't have to use a software solution to do the mix minus stuff. Oh, right. Yeah. And because I don't like all those, you know, like whatever things.

You know the Windows version of audio hijack? Oh, yes. Oh, yeah, they're nightmares. They're awful. Yeah. Yeah. Hardware solution for that stuff is great. On the Mac side, there's amazing stuff, but it's still, you know, hardware's probably

preferable across the board if you can. I get it. Yeah. I was going to say, though, I got to correct you because the actual worst nightmare of all podcasters is not this. This is a fine thing to be upset about. Don't get me wrong. You should fix it.

But the ultimate is when you've recorded a two-hour show and find out that both your main and backups didn't work. And so you recorded nothing. Now, this has only happened to me twice in my entire. quote-unquote career once in an episode of the instance which we did the very next day I hated it I absolutely hated that episode because there's so much great stuff you're thinking we're never going to be able to recreate this yeah yeah I hate it it's the worst and then I did it recently with Kim on an episode of skim and there was same awful feelings and I hated it so two out

of like 5,000 ain't bad but still I don't like it exactly you're right that is the worst nightmare because redoing an episode is the worst feeling ever in podcasting. For those of you who don't podcast, imagine you had a dinner party and you had like a great conversation at dinner and then your friend comes over and you're like, oh, we really want you to hear this conversation. So guys, let's have the conversation. Let's restage that exact conversation with all of the improvisational bits that we came up with at the time. It's going to feel dead. Yeah. Oh yeah. For sure. No doubt about it. Well, it's good to have you here. We're going to talk about some science with Bobby and uh I actually have no idea what you brought so tell us what you brought

so I wanted to talk about um have you heard there's this company colossal that is um this has been in the science news a bunch is that this company colossal has decided that they're going to de-extinct the dodo bird have you heard of yeah I heard about this I was talking to um my brain just went dead our sheep lady I can't think of her name all the sudden oh Nikki actually. I was talking to Nikki online about it. And I told her that I think it'd be cool if they somehow combined the dodo and the mammoth. And she said, now I want to see that and drawn. And so I drew it for it.

So somewhere in the internet exists, a picture of a dodo with tusks, basically, is what I did there. But anyway, sorry, continue on. They want to bring back the dodo. Do we really want to do that, though? Because it seemed like a dumb bird. well I'm glad you said that it's called the dodo bird

and it's become synonymous with dumb but it actually I think the reason for that is because I think I think its reputation was made by all the people who caused it to go extinct

Ah okay You know what I mean? Like it's not a dumb bird It lived in an island The Mauritian Islands it's like off the coast of Madagascar and the Indian Ocean sure and this was back in the

1500s when we discovered late this late 1500s when Europeans discovered that island and like they often do they brought a bunch of like rats and other invasive species and it just did a number on the dodo bird did not have any natural predators

on it's on the island where it lived so it would walk there are tons of reports of it just walking right up to humans, not being afraid. Like, there was no, they would hunt the bird for meat to eat it. And there were, like, all these reports about how you could just walk right up to the bird and smack it in the head. And it was, like, so easy to hunt.

And I think that's how it got its reputation for being, like, synonymous with kind of dumb. But it's not. It's sad. It's because the bird trusted us. Yeah. Had no reason. Well, apparently did have reason to not trust us.

But, yeah. I always thought it was just because people thought of it as a dumb bird because we have been able to reconstruct it visually and it and it has a look of I'm not a smart bird and it's hard for me to look any dumber than a platypus no you're absolutely right that's my that's my point is like we think well a it's ugly or weird looking B it's extinct ergo oh and it's called the dodo right somehow and I think

us using the term dodo for for dumb came after the bird right it wasn't it wasn't that we said oh this bird looks dumb let's start calling the dodo i think i think i think the i think the etymology there you're right brian i think because because from what i understand the it's called the dodo bird because it's it comes from the dutch for like daughtered which has to do with like like a it basically i think the dodo part of it is supposed to describe the tuft of feathers on its rear end oh really okay yeah huh wow but but um it's a it's uh it's the the different word for tutu basically oh i wish we could swap them i've always felt this way though i wish we could take

words like a chair and swap it with um i didn't it's something dumb i don't know uh potato so it's like pull up a potato we're having chair tonight you know what i mean like just to throw things off some you can do that if you want oh when i was a kid i thought that was the greatest thing when as a kid is just to think of all the swap and I would do with words for no reason it's all done quit trying to make potato happen not in that context anyway but anyway so they they want to bring it so one of the other problems with this bird and one of the troubles that they're going to have with with bringing it back is that so there are all these rats and and deer and goats and and stuff and pigs that they brought over that that would eat the dodo's eggs and dodo

birds only lay one egg a year, or laid, one egg a year. So, you know, when, that makes it very vulnerable if a predator eats its eggs. For sure, yeah. And so it was very quick that it went extinct. It was like within, it was like 50 years or something. It's almost like nature wanted it to go extinct. Like, sure feels like it. Right. Yeah. So, so the, anyway, so, one interesting thing about this is how are they going to try to de-extinct it. It's a little bit different than how they're de-extincting. So this is the same company that wants to de-extinct the woolly mammoth, you mentioned, Scott, and also the thylacine or the Tasmanian tiger was what they announced last year.

I think I even talked about it on TMS. So this is like their 20-23 announcement. I guess every year they're going to pick a new thing to try to de-extinct. But anyway, what they have to do is first they have to get a complete. genome of the bird and the way they do that is by extracting samples from from from extinct like samples you know they have like it wasn't it was only a few hundred so there are birds that people would like hunt and taxidermied and stuff like that so they can get um they can get samples of the genes that way is it how old is it i mean age has a thing to do with this right so

if you've got something that's like a million years old and it's a single hair and it was stuck in ice or something, is there enough there to do something? So DNA absolutely does degrade over time. So for a lot of reasons, one of the big things is sun exposure, which is why sometimes the, the woolly mammoth, when it's encased in ice, it's not as exposed to the sun. So that's why some of those samples survived for thousands and thousands of years. But if you've got a dodo attacks, Dermy Dodo Bird that's sitting next to a window sill in a museum somewhere, it's going to have a lot of DNA degradation.

So what they do is they take multiple samples and then they try to compare them and see sort of like puzzle pieces where this one has this piece missing, but it can be filled in by this one and so on and so forth. And then you get as complete a genome as you can

and there will still be probably gaps, but what they do is they then look at the closest living relative, which is the Nicobar Pigeon, which is very colorful. That sounds made up, but keep going. And what they do is they look at the Nicobar Pigeon and the gaps that they have in the Dodo Bird genome, and they try to, like, they try to ascertain what might have changed. Like, over time, what are the changes that, would have happened in that missing fragment to lead to where it is now in the Nicobar Pigeon

and they can work backwards and give their best educated guess on where it was back then. Right. Right. That makes sense. So the next steps are the harder ones though, but you have a question. Well, I was going to ask you this because I am interested in those next steps. Real steps is what he might call them. No, what I would say is we're getting better we're getting to the point where in all sorts of ways we're getting better at extracting this old information and then using it to our whatever our needs are whether it's like brian and i were talking about cold cases and the Tylenol murders and getting old DNA and saying okay well now we can do this at a much lower more granular level so let's do that those things make sense to me the more we the closer we get to we're going to bring back a bird that didn't doesn't exist uh boy It feels like it just opens the door for already, people are already skeptical of science. Now they're going to jump on this whole bandwagon of, you can't pray, God. I didn't want that bird to be around anymore.

So why are you going against God? Right. And I guess that's the point. I was reading about Galileo. That is the truth, by the way. I went down a deep Galileo hole the other day. Because, yeah, because, Vigero. I was hoping you throw a few more.

Galileo's back. I probably should have. That song needs it. I was reading this thing because I just wanted to understand more. We talk about them all the time or you hear about them all the time and stuff. And I just thought, well, I don't, I don't personally know enough about the man. And that guy was like, just for saying, for suggesting that the opposite, the belief that the world or that the, that the everything, including the sun revolved around us, that the opposite was true, that we all revolve around the sun and the ergo, you know, here's some new physics we understand or whatever that got him thrown in jail that got him shut down that got him uh tortured that got him treated like garbage um and i'm not saying today is the same as those times or anything but it just feels like you know you're asking for it a little bit i'm not saying we shouldn't we should push it i'm glad galileo stuck to his guns and said yeah you guys are all full of horseshit but you know what i mean you know what i'm saying yeah yes yeah fortunately we don't live back in those times anymore. Well, that's good.

Scientists aren't deterred by this. Everything scientists do, they expect someone's going to tell them that they're, you know, an abomination to God. That's just the way it is nowadays. Vaccines, you know, anything. But anyway, so what they have to do is they take that, once they've gotten a genome that they think is going to work, they grow it in an embryo. they use, well, in mammals you use stem cells.

You know stem cells are like the cells, cells that can turn into any other type of cell in your body. Yeah. And so with things like the thylasein or the woolly mammoth, they would take the genome and they'd put it into stem cells and then try to get it to differentiate, grow and then they would, you know, implant that into some womb somewhere to get it to grow. Birds don't use stem cells. Birds are different in the way that they work. they use what are called, because they have eggs that get laid, right? Right. So with birds, they use what are called primordial germ cells, which are kind of like stem cells, but a little bit different.

It's just, I don't fully understand it myself. I just know what they say is going to be a lot more complicated, and it's not quite as proven. And so that's part of what they're trying to do here is figure out how do you do this kind of thing with a bird. Right. And that is why I think that this type of research is useful. So that's what people are talking about, should they do it, right? Right. I don't think that there's a huge, with the woolly mammoth,

there's a lot of question about whether you should do it or not. And that's because that's a very large animal and will likely, if you bring it back, wherever you put it, is going to have a very large impact on the environment. dinosaurs, like the Jurassic Parks of Taurus, right? Exactly. The bigger they are, they bring this one thing if you're going to,

we're going to bring this flea back, although that's probably a bad idea too. Oh, that's probably worse. Yeah. You know, lose control that really quickly. Yeah. But like, you know, you got to, if you got to have a plan.

If you're going to bring that back. And if the plan is to have one in a closed environment and that's all you ever did because you just want to study or whatever. Yeah. And then eat it when you're done or whatever you do. What do you do? And do all this work just to have one dodo

bird that lives for a couple of years and then dies, doesn't lay any eggs because there's no opposite sex dodo birds to fertilize it. That's right. You don't want that. You do have to have a plan. You're right. And so with all these animals, they do talk about the plans. One of the plans they have for the dodo bird is they think that they're going to have to go to

the island where it was native, the Mauritius, the Mauritian Islands. and say, like, basically remove all the invasive species that caused it to go extinct to begin with. And that's time-consuming and maybe good for bringing back historically the undoing what colonialism did to that island and everything. But I don't even think you have to do that. So, like, there's lots of arguments against this, right? like couldn't that money be spent on other conservation efforts and all this but i don't think you need to answer all those questions i think first of all i think the technology that you're going to learn from doing this is going to be useful in a lot of ways um it's going to be useful

in helping us preserve currently existing like we're going to need this stuff because we're already on the brink of causing currently living animals to go extinct, wouldn't we like to know how to bring them back once we, once that happens? It's easier to get their DNA and just kind of lock it in now. Right. So that if things do, if we do have a hard time rehabilitating the species, we can start 3D printing around numerous. That's right. You want your own white tiger. I got good news for you. I mean, like couldn't, and speaking to white tigers, why couldn't we We spent a bunch of time on figuring out how to dupe those things. We do it with sheep already, right?

Sure. As Nikki would inform us. And then if you did some white, or whatever those, I don't know if white tigers are the thing. I've been to magic shows on the strip. White tigers are disappearing at an alarming rate. I mean, I know they're rare, but I don't know that they're, I don't know that they're endangered. Yeah. Maybe they are.

Are they endangered? Would you know, Bobby? I don't know. White tigers? I think, yes, I'm pretty sure they're endangered. But your point is that currently endangered, you know, species of animals that we like, like the giant panda. And they're a good example, I think, because we have so much trouble breeding them in captivity. Maybe this is a way that we could help with that. Dice tomato, you know, is being Diced Tomato, but does ask, does it. raise an interesting question, which is, should we be preserving currently living animals? Isn't that the point of natural selection? The argument I would make is, is it, and this is not an easy question to answer? I'm not asking this question as a gotcha. Is it natural selection when we have, are causing them to go extinct? Some would argue that it is because we are a part of nature. Yeah. But some would argue that we have an ethical responsibility as like a part of nature with the ability to, to change with forward thinking and the cognitive abilities

that we have and the ability to make tools and do science that we have an ethical responsibility to be better the problem is you're going to someone's going to claim well it's a slippery

you know the slippery slope argument that one day you're preserving the next day you're creating a race of super apes and they're going to kill everybody you know like you're you get into that mindset and there's no... You're right. Some people think there's an arrogance to us trying to save

things and we're just going to through our arrogance cause even more problems. That is quite the point of Jurassic Park, right? Maybe the answer isn't necessarily unextincting

lost animals. It's increasing the libido of the animals who are bad about reproducing in captivity. We just need to use our science brains to make panda Viagra. Yeah, there we go. Nailed it. Nailed it. Pandagra. Pandagra. When the walls fell.

Yeah, when the walls fell. Oh, man. That's great. I'm, this does fascinates me just because I don't know. I guess as from a kid forward, there's always this dream of the Jurassic Park dream of like, hey, can we bring something like that back? Things we've never seen before. Yeah, exactly. I'm excited by meaning of the mammoth thing works. It would be really cool to see them.

I'd love to see it, but I also don't want to, you know, wreck parts of the world. because we brought a thing back and we shouldn't have. And, you know, I try not to be, you don't want to be Jeff Goldblum in every case, but, you know, he has that famous line. It was a fictitious movie with a character, but he still said that line that kind of resonates, which was, we knew, we didn't, we were so busy knowing or seeing if we could, we didn't think if we should or however the way it's worded. Do you think Jeff Goldblum, when he uttered that line, really realized that he would forever make it impossible for regular people to have serious ethical conversations without laughing? Without invoking it. Yeah, right, exactly. Yeah, that's a really good question.

Probably not. I don't know. I mean, who knows? He was just reading it anyway. It's not really his deal. Right. I'm fascinated by this kind of stuff, though, because it leads to both interesting science and science fiction, and I like where my brain goes when that stuff happens. So it's always good to have this stuff on the show.

Bobby, what's happening on your show? What sort of science are you guys talking about on all-around science? Because you're around science, so what is it? What are you observing around it? What am I observing around science? Well, as you said, our show is all-around science. we do that every week, talking about science. And this past week, we talked about clouds.

You guys, of course, know Stephanie from Wisconsin. Stephanie of your pets. Stephanie, you know, but she, every once in a while, she sends us phone messages, asking us questions. And she asked, she said she was in the car with her husband, Kyle, and they were talking about clouds. and so we went we talked a bunch about clouds this week and and how they're made and how they move and learned about how to look at the clouds out your window and actually try to forecast the weather there's a there's a systematic way to do it

yeah oh that's cool that's pretty cool yeah well uh do check it out it's a fantastic podcast available wherever you find them bobby frankenberger i want you to have a great day sorry i've moved brian's video and didn't mean to Let's put him right back where he belongs. Let's see if this is shaking. It might crash. Let's find out. Nope.

Okay, good. Did it? Nope, we're good. Oh, good thing. It wasn't a very good goodbye, though. I feel bad about that. Thank you, Bobby. It was awesome.

As always, let us dive into this voicemail I promised earlier. Okay. This game from Senior Geek, aka Gary from Lantronics, aka Gary from Lop B, and Gary from, what's the new one? Where is he now? Bat, too.

Oh, there you go. Bat, too, yeah. He has got some important stuff to share with this about Vegas. Here you go. Hey, this is for TMS. This is Gary, the Senior Geek. I was just listening to Coverville's story about having to walk the length of the strip. And it reminded me of the last TMS, Vegas, I was going to meet Kathy Hopkins at the, oh, man, good drugs.

I was going to meet Kathy Hopkins at a bar, the Griffin, because I wanted to go someplace where I didn't have to have a poker machine in front of me. And I got down there before she did, and she kept texting me saying she was on the way. And in the meantime, I kept ordering beers, and I kept getting a shot with my beer. And I sort of lost count, I think, had about four beers and four shots. And at the end of the whole thing, I wound up, I stood up, and I was all right getting out of the bar, but it was a good thing there was a railing right outside because I nearly fell on my face and so I sort of had to heel and toe

all the way down the Fremont Street experience to the plaza. But I made it back okay and it turns out she was in the process of beating somebody up in the plaza bar so I missed that but just like you guys would enjoy that story and doing very well

by the way on the COVID. Thank you very much. Good. I know he got the he got the Pax Lovid with this one. He did yeah and he basically has been feeling fine just like enough of a sniffle or something that he got checked and found out the COVID but because of the vaccines probably because he's had it before also was a much lighter symptoms than he had before you know what's cool though too is one I don't know if this is cool he said in a Facebook post that um the HR people at Disney has at the Disney

parks asked him are they you know he said I've got COVID again they're like okay well we You have a mandatory downtime. Don't worry about it. You're all good. You know, treating them well and everything. And then they said, standard procedure. Just need to find out. Where do you think you may have come in contact with it?

And Gary's like, I work at Disney around a billion people. Are you kidding? The happiest, what do you call it, the happiest virus factory on Earth? Yeah. That made me laugh so hard when I read that. That was amazing. It's so funny. Anyway, thanks, Gary, for that.

Appreciate it. are always welcome to send in your voicemails like Gary 80147-10462 and you can send into your emails like Jen who is say nope to dope normally in the chat room but like Leslie nope it's kind of fun anyway oh that's cool

even better the defib question about whether the like that Mexican place I found yeah right yeah we had a couple people Bronco even wrote in about this yeah a few people have taken me to school about it because I didn't know these were like required at places but apparently it is. Anyway, he says, I work for a fire department here in Colorado. Hey, Colorado

Connection. Oh, Colorado Connection. Says I wanted to send you a quick clarification on your conversation yesterday about the AEDs or defibrillators and fire extinguishers. Typically, AED requirements are made at the state level. For instance, many states require AEDs at schools and airports or airports. Both AEDs and fire extinguishers are only useful if they are accessible. Putting AEDs in a place where anyone, including patrons of a restaurant, can see it, helps with the CPR slash life support process. When you perform CPR, you are supposed to pick someone nearby to go find an AED while you find compression, or you do compressions.

Keep the box visible and you will help non-employee people find it. Also, fire extinguishers are required by code to be conspicuous. So they shouldn't be hidden or blocked. If they are tucked away in a closet or cabinet, there needs to be assigned indicating that location, depending on what code your jurisdiction is adopted. Hope that helps clear things up. Jen, does. Yeah, for sure.

A lot. Because I was thinking, I was thinking about, you know, all right, well, the employees who've been hastily trained on how to use this thing, as long as they know where it is, it's important. But I wasn't thinking about the fact that, no, it needs to be usable by random customers in case they're the only people who can get to it or they can get to it faster than anybody else, which is like, oh, okay. So there's enough, like the instructions are minimal enough that with no training, I could look at the, pictograms and say, all right, I can save this person's life with 3,000 volts of electricity. Right, right, right. Yeah. Or I can take it and run and put it on my burrito just to see what happens.

My burrito's cold. Let me grab that AED, please. I just go clear, blah, and everyone gets, like, green sauce all over them. I don't know. Anyway, the other thing I was going to say about this is, like, I took a CPR class years and years ago. It's been a long time. I was CPR certified for a while.

Oh, wow. Probably have to redo it now. But anyway, I did it because I was one of the leaders for a scout group. Anyway, long or the short of it is I do not remember them saying a thing about the AEDs or public locations or any of that. So I don't know if that's a new thing or if they just CPR certification doesn't require it, but you should know about it. Like it's just good knowledge or something. Yeah, yeah. I don't know.

But anyway, I hope nobody ever asked to use one. Gosh, no kidding. That's the lesson there. Jen sent that to our email address, which is the morning stream at gmail. So use that number, use that email, or text us if you want at that phone number as well. We'd be happy to read them on the show. Thank you, everybody who supports us on Patreon.

Go check it out and read all about it at patreon.com slash TMS and giant kisses and thanks to everybody who already supports us over there. Smoochy, Smoochy, Brian, all other things, frogpans.com slash TMS. That includes requesting songs, and you'll now hear an example of that from Brian of it.

Yes, you will. This right here is an example of that. very thing. Howdy Sonata and Bolero. I've been listening to you guys since day one and Scott since I discovered the instance back in 06. You've helped me through countless hours of otherwise mind-numbing work at several different jobs

through the years. I finally remember to request a song for my birthday this year, though maybe too late. I'll be turning 33 on February 6th, but any day is fine for the request. I'd like to hear something jam band or jam adjacent if you've got it. Widespread panic, Grateful Dead, fish, et cetera. Believe it or not,

they're not all 25-minute meandering. and guitar solos. Nobody that mostly are. The pizza tapes has some great Jerry Garcia Bluegrass covers. I trust your judgment. Thanks a bunch. Love you guys.

P.S., you still got scooters? Oh, I do, but you have to hear this first. Let's party. All right. And then, oh, no, I still haven't done the scooters conversion. So instead, you're going to get, um, here. Bad gay movies.

There you go. That's what you get. There you go. By the way, I went to trivia last night. And, uh, I'm up at the bar paying for my cider, and a guy comes up and says, how do I know you? I totally, I recognize you, I can't figure out. Did I inspect your company?

I'm like, well, no, I don't really, I mean, my company never needs any inspection. I don't know. I do graphic design, web design. I've done Lyft for a while. Do podcasting. He's like, that's it. Oh, my God. You're Brian I'm like, yeah.

He's like, I listen to you and Scott on TMS, or I used to listen on TMS when I was training for a marathon. I was stationed in Iraq and I was training for a marathon. And I was listening to you guys nonstop during that. Oh, wow. That's awesome. Thanks to you and a thanks to me for the hours of the hours of work. Oh, that's great.

I love when that happens. That's awesome. Very cool. Totally. It made me feel like a big shot at the bar, too. Like, oh, yes. Oh, thank you. Yes.

I'm recognized far and wide. The bartender turns around and goes, this one's on us. This one's on the house, Brian. Yeah, exactly. Oh, podcaster, you're helping people. Well, gosh, your cider's free. Yeah. No, it doesn't work that way, folks.

No, but shout out to Joe and Casey, in case he's listening. Anyway, Jonathan's request, something jam band? Well, let's give you some jam band. Let's listen to some panic, which I realized during a lift ride recently, that in jam band circles, panic refers to widespread panic and not panic at the disco, as I mistakenly replied to the passenger. Anyway, here is widespread panic from their Jackassal Lantern album from 2004, Keeping the Rolling Stones rolling this week with a cover of sympathy for the devil.
