on this episode of The Morning Stream.
This toy comes with something that can really open up a kid's imagination.
Its own legend.
It's the Masters of the Universe collection.
And for my kids, the legend begins here with Castle Grey Skull.
Some peepsy soda in a bottle.
The Morning Stream.
Would you like a closer look?
The morning stream.
Good morning, everybody.
Welcome to the morning stream.
It's April 4th, 2023.
I'm Scott Johnson.
That's Brian Nibbitt.
Hi, Brian.
Well, hello, Scott.
And happy Tuesday, too, April 4th.
Yeah, April 4th.
We're careening ever so quickly to Vegas, TMS, Vegas, everybody.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
It's like no time at all.
I will be probably a big stress basket.
And people will be saying, oh, Brian, can I buy you a drink to help calm you down?
And I'll say, okay.
Yeah.
And then you'll be fine because you'll have that drink, see.
Yeah, no.
That won't do it.
No, but look at it this way.
By tomorrow this time, then.
Yeah, exactly.
A little more relief.
A lot more relief.
I'll have time to play some board games and yeah and then some viji games later and oh yeah it'll be fine it'll be fine actually and you know what I'm doing so much prep ahead of time this time that that trip last week probably reduced my anxiety level by 80% just because I was able to see oh all right here's the stage here's where this is going to be here's where that's going to be the people will be sitting there Claire will likely be sitting over there there'll be a drink in her right hand um yep
No, it's good to have, it's good to have on the ground perspective ahead of time if you can, you know?
So I think that's good that you got to do that.
That's really cool.
Yeah, for sure.
We're going to have a blast.
And I'll tell you what, that board game time will be, many of you will be your first time playing dungeon murder.
I'm bringing a deck with me.
A little, a little preview trial.
Yeah, the Kickstarter might actually be live before that, but no physical copies will be available,
except for the one I'm bringing.
So get ready to figure out if you'd like my game or not.
Cool.
I'm sure we're going to love it.
Find out the hard way.
All right.
Let's get to wait to find out all the typos.
Please do.
Please do.
I've already had a couple of them come up that I was like, really?
How did I miss those?
And not only how did I miss them, I've had four people, four separate people,
one of whom is a full-time, that's what they do in their real job.
Yeah.
copy editor, who I thought would catch it.
Zip right by him.
So I think we're good now.
I'm pretty sure that there might be one fix in the deck that I have now that will be fixed in the final.
But I think we got it all.
But there's always something, dude.
We're going to find out.
Nobody publishes a book without finding out six months later that there was a the in the wrong place or something.
The card always says moops.
The card says moops.
It always says moops.
how do you do that every time you bring up
this is this okay we're going to
suss this out
when you bring up a Seinfeld reference
almost not always
but nine times out of ten the night before I saw
that episode and last night I saw that episode
did you just watch the bubble boy episode
seriously we watch it at night before bed
it's just like a usual thing we do
and the bubble boy episode was on
and I don't know how you do that you've done this before
many times maybe not every time but many times
it's almost like I have a camera in your house
Oh, shit!
Well, you actually do, I guess, right now looking at me, but...
Oh, yeah, it's true.
Hey, yeah, yeah.
He definitely doesn't have one in my bedroom above, on the wall, pointing down.
Oh, no, gosh.
No, hell no.
No, I can't wait to...
Dr. Calhoun points out, yeah, watch Parasite, you coward.
I can't wait to bring us some parasite quotes.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, we just watched it last night.
Yeah, see, let's do that.
Maybe that's all we need is Brian to bring up a thing, a line.
Do you know a line from Parasite?
Give me a good line.
No, I can't.
Oh, see?
Do you a line from Parasite?
There's your problem.
There's some Korean, there's some Korean sing-songy thing that one of the characters does that I really like.
But, uh, well, listen, it's no nacho, nacho, the other, the other foreign film that I'm trying to get you to, uh, to read.
Oh, yeah, right.
Nacho, nacho, got to watch the freaking RR, R, R, man.
There's no reason.
There's a, none whatsoever.
That should be, that should have jumped ahead.
Like, I, you know, parasite, whatever, it is what it is.
But RRR has so much other stuff I know I'm going to like.
Yes.
I don't know what my deal is on that.
Because you, you're going to just freaking love it.
Because it feels like such a throwback to the Jean-Claude Van Dam action, you know, kind of stuff.
It's just so good.
Yeah.
And a good dub, which is what I need.
I need a good dub.
Yes.
It's a good dub.
It's a fine dub.
Yeah, it's a fine dub.
All right.
I got a funny thing to tell you.
So last night.
So this is going to be interesting pre-top of the show stuff here because we got a little story.
and then I have three phone calls in a row from listeners.
All really important stuff from listeners, all right?
Before we get to that, though, I want to tell you something funny.
So the little ones were here yesterday, Taylor was out this side of town getting
doctor's appointments for the baby.
She was getting some shots.
That's what you do with the babies.
You get shots.
You have certain stages where you do it.
She's 26 weeks old.
I don't know what shot that is, but it is whatever it is.
And so they're here hanging out.
And apparently,
well I'll tell you what happened first
then I'll tell you why
so my
was it Kim somebody in the house sneezed
it wasn't me it was either Taylor or Kim
sneezed really hard maybe it was Carter
but somebody sneezed really hard
just kind of about
like that yeah
and off in the kitchen I hear
a little tiny four year old little boy go
shit
like that
and I was like what the what the frick is that
and turns out
you know a kid you'd think a kid might be trained at four to say bless you or gazunti or something that he's heard something like that yes and i looked at his mom and she goes no it's because every time i sneeze i say shit
really i'm like what why's that i don't know i said why do you do that she goes i don't know i just do and i said and then i reminded her you know you're the little girl
who made me have a swear jar when you were like three because every time i swore you would get mad at me and you said daddy you got to put money in the in the swear jar
And now you say shit after every sneeze.
Are you kidding me?
Anyway.
What a weird.
I mean, you know, if you like hurt yourself when you sneeze, I can say, oh, shit, you know, like that.
All right.
She doesn't have that excuse.
Nothing hurts.
She's just yelling shit.
And then he is, so now that's what he does.
So if anyone sneezes and I'm really excited to have like Kim's mom around next time this happens.
Oh, yeah.
That'll be great.
Yes.
Just like a big, p.
And he'll just go shit in the other room.
Anyway, four-year-olds are great.
I just want to put that out there.
They're hilarious.
They make me laugh.
And also, I can't believe he's for him.
Tina used to give Tristan, you know, rides everywhere as a kid.
As parents do, you know, the kids can't drive themselves yet because they can't reach the pedals.
But so she, you know, when she drive them around, she didn't realize how often she would say, what the hell?
Like, you basically, she'd say that whenever a car cut in front of her or something like that.
Sure, sure.
Imagine she still does it.
And we got the family together to.
to meet for dinner at the Armadillo Mexican restaurant,
no longer around here in Denver.
But they sit Tristan down.
Grandma's here.
Grandpa's great-grandma's here.
And as soon as they put food in front of them, Tristan goes,
What the hell?
It's great.
It's great how they pick up on those things about the things you want them to do.
Yeah, all the other, you know, the entirety of the rest of their language that they've learned.
they don't say that they just say what the hell or shit
which is which is great
I was going to ask you
oh you reminded me of something I was going to ask it
was a Tristan related question can't remember it now
there was a thought
there was a chance he was coming to TMS Vegas
but unfortunately work is going to get in the way of that
but hopefully future
TMS Vegas will get the return of Tristan
same thing happened with Carter she was going to come this year
and then couldn't because of work.
Did Carter ask, am I going to have to keep score on anything?
Because that's what Chistan asked.
Like, are you going to make me have to keep score on this game you're doing?
I'm like, no, you don't have to keep score.
I don't know.
I don't know if she's in the chat this morning, but she has a love-hate relationship, I think, with that.
I don't want to speak too much for it because she may counter this.
But I think that she really, looking back, I think she really loved that her interest and got chosen for that all the time.
Yeah, yeah.
I think that it made them really nervous leading up to it, though.
Yes.
And I found out a lot of the reason why Tristan finally told me.
I don't think he ever told me beforehand, but it came out when I said,
no, you're not going to have to keep scoring.
He's like, good, because that was stressful.
Because apparently when we were doing the trivia thing,
I would look to him and Carter and say, yep, that's two points for this team,
one point for that team for that question.
I would just keep plowing through, like the game show, like keep in going,
And assuming that, oh, well, they know, they know if the answer is correct or incorrect.
So they know to score.
And so Tristan was, he basically had someone in the audience that he made eye contact with that would give him the high sign or the low sign.
Oh, that's great.
Depending on if he needed to add points.
I don't know if Carter had the same thing, but it's really funny to find this out.
Now I want to find out.
Do you know who it was in the audience?
Do we know who that was?
No idea.
I want to give that person a shout.
I'm sure somebody front row, so it was probably, you know, the Jensen's or something.
Yeah, that was nice, whoever that was.
That's cool that they did that.
For sure.
Yeah, I think that was a lot of pressure for them because, you know, you're in a room with a thousand people and it's, you know, this bunch of trivia, you may not know, your high school kids, you're trying to not screw it up.
Exactly.
You don't want to have a very public screw up, especially with an occasional angry Veronica on stage.
Yeah, no kidding.
who might be upset if the points that she just earned on in question were not accurately tallied exactly she's going to wolverine on everybody and slice everybody to bits so yeah that's a lot of pressure did we either taught them a great lesson or we added to a pile of anxiety they didn't want we basically set them up for therapy later on yeah i just don't know which it's hard to say yeah uh all right i'm going to play these calls cool uh 8-0471 0462 is where these came to uh there that's our voicemail line you guys can call any time leave us a voicemail
and we'll play it on the show.
Here's, if I can find them, there we go.
This is one about, well, it's Luke, and he called in,
and it just seems like there was some confusion,
so I wanted to play it.
Here it is.
I call this clip, will the real Luke please stand up?
Here you go.
Howdy, gents.
It's Luke in Boulder,
and I was listening to the contest the other day,
and you mentioned that it was a Luke
and that it was a Johnson,
but this person maybe lives in Iowa,
and I live in Boulder, Colorado.
So I guess I didn't,
win, which is a bummer, but
kind of amazing that there's two different
Luke Johnson's that also listen to the show.
So, just spread
the news, or maybe I did win.
Nope, you didn't win, but
you can win any time, so don't worry, Luke,
the future is yours. But here's the funny
thing. There's a Luke Johnson in
Boulder. There's this Luke Johnson
in Iowa who won, and
my nephew is Luke
Johnson, and he lives in
Vegas, of all places. He's part of the band,
yeah. Yeah. So, weird.
All the Luke Johnson's.
So many Luke Johnsons, yeah.
Yeah, you can't get enough of them.
We're lousy with them.
All born roughly around 1977.
Oh, weird.
I really don't know if any of them were born.
I don't know either.
Actually, let's say, Luke would have been, Luke's 10 years younger than me.
So, wait, is that making my cousin or my, no, he's my nephew,
he's my brother's kid.
Age really wouldn't define whether he's a cousin or a nephew.
Well, 10 years just seemed like short, right?
like it really just depends on when your your brother or your sister my brother my brother's 10 years
older than me oh no this makes sense because he was 19 when he had the first kid which is luke and then
yeah i would have been 10 yeah that makes sense we're all good now everything's good now oh good oh good
yeah i would like to you know maybe we maybe we have a um some sort of scheduled planned
Luke Johnson off, and for one of our trivia competitions, one of the, you know, asses or feuds or something,
it's the paddle of the Luke Johnsons to see which Luke Johnson reigns supreme.
Yeah, I'd love that.
I love my nephew, so that'd be cool.
I don't know if we're going to see him or not.
I hope we do, but he may come around.
And he hangs out with James and Svet here and there.
So, cool.
They have some common band roots.
All right, here is, oh, remember my neighbor yelling misdemeanor outside?
Oh, yes, right. Oh, my God. Are we even getting an answer to this finally?
Possibly. Here's a theory that came in via the call line. Here you go.
Hey, Scott and Brian. This is for TMS. My theory for your misdemeanor guy. He's probably listening to a podcast.
And that was an answer to a question or his vocal comment that he forgot nobody else is listening to what he's listening to and he just blurted it out.
All right, thanks. Bye.
Common thing for podcast listeners, right?
Totally, yes.
But we have listeners who have accidentally shouted something on the bus,
probably like pumba or you're like.
Yeah, or yell something out in the office or something they get headphones on.
Exactly, exactly.
A name that we're not able to remember they're correcting us or they're telling us.
Yeah.
So probably not our show because I don't think we ever brought up misdemeanor.
Plus, I don't think Tesla listens to anything I do.
Although he always talks like,
how are the shows how the show's going every time i see him oh cool like they're going good you could
tune in you know and check him do you want them to though i mean i know i know you're in good terms but
yeah everything's good now i think if he'd listen now it'd be fine but if we went back to 2015 and
heard a few episodes you might not love that because that was uh you know we were at odds
there was a bit of a kerfuffle yes exactly so now this is an episode you don't want him to listen to
because now he knows to go back to 2015 if he wants to hear.
Yeah, don't listen to this one either.
Don't listen to this episode.
Maybe the next episode is the one you want to listen to.
That makes sense.
I appreciate the theory and I actually think it holds water.
I think it's a pretty good theory.
Could have been listening to Wait, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me or something, right?
Yeah, it could have been anything.
Anything with a trivia answer or, I don't know.
Your average podcast is, what, three dudes in a room?
So let's say there are three white dudes sitting around talking about a thing.
Three white dudes, yeah, exactly.
And it came up where they're like,
oh, what do you call it when you,
it's not a felony.
It's, uh,
when you,
when you,
when you just break a guy's windshield,
what does that call?
Yeah.
And he's like,
misdemeanor,
he yells.
Exactly.
Exactly.
All right.
I think that could have been it.
There we go.
Uh,
it's as,
as good as anything else that we could come,
uh,
come up with,
I'm sure.
Yeah,
I have no other,
I have no other good ideas.
I'm what this might be.
I've been struggling with it.
Here's one from,
uh,
oh,
we got an idea about,
uh,
We talked about casting Galactus.
Oh, sure.
Okay.
Because, you know, we got some Marvel stuff coming up that might include Galactus.
Good.
Yeah, certainly would be fantastic for getting a new writer.
And I think we said something like Nicholas Cage or something because we were, I don't remember why that came up.
Yes, because we talked about him being able to eat a planet for hours.
Oh, that's what it was.
Okay.
Duh.
Well, we got a call about that.
Let's find out what they say.
Hello.
You were talking about Galactus being Dick Cage.
Here's a hot take for you.
What about Deep Roy?
Love the show, though.
Okay, so Deep Roy as Galactus is funny in the same way that Peter Dinklage was funny for...
That's, yeah, and if you're a Trigion or whatever it was, yeah.
And that's why I think they couldn't do it twice.
I'd be like, you know, having two giants that are played by little people might be...
Might be...
Maybe a little two on the...
That's a pattern after that.
Exactly, yes, maybe a pattern they don't necessarily want to go down.
Yeah, I didn't, I was thinking about that after I got the call.
I was like, I don't know if they can do it twice.
You can do it once maybe.
I think you get away with it.
You know, it's kind of funny.
It's like, oh, he's huge.
That's hilarious.
What a, what a, it's almost empowering.
It's almost like, hey, it's the opposite of your real life.
And no one can be offended by that.
But if you do it twice, you're like, okay, you guys, come on now.
Yeah, I think John Hamm as Galactus.
All right.
Hold on.
It's not bad.
I'm picturing it.
You know, big booming voice.
A strong jaw.
Picture a world that I'm going to eat.
I'm going to eat that whole world.
Housewife.
Sitting there, she's, her husband's gone off to work.
She's looking for something to do.
Have you seen that?
Then something catches her eye out of the corner of the kitchen.
There's a meme floating around of John Hamm aged.
He looks like 79 or something.
It's supposed to be like, the idea is like, hey, what if we did a follow-up show?
Maybe it was an April Fool's thing.
I don't know.
But what if we did a follow-up Mad Men 2 show?
So he's way older.
He's still working in advertising.
He owns the place now.
And he's up pitching an idea in the early 2000s for that horrible Quiznos ad with the little monkeys or whatever it was.
The sponge monkeys, remember it called?
Yeah, yeah.
It was really, really caught me funny.
I'd love to look for that.
That's really, really funny.
But I'd be all right with John Hamm.
I still don't know any other good.
J.K. Simmons isn't bad, but he's already in the MCU, sort of.
Not really, but kind of.
Yeah.
We think of them as Jay Jonah Jameson?
He's in that, right.
I mean, he's in the, if Tom Holland's Spider-Man is in the MCU, then so is that.
Oh, right, because he hung around for that.
That's right.
He hung around for that.
He's still there, yeah.
I don't think he can do that.
Now he's, now he's the, like the shock jock, you know, kind of fake news spouting.
Angry blog, right?
I don't want to say angry blog, because all that makes me think of is Dr.
Doom and I'm sad that.
Which is such a sad idea.
What a terrible freaking thing.
Anyway,
yeah,
if you guys have not seen that commercial with the SpongeMonkey,
waste a few minutes of your time and go check it out.
It's fantastic.
And that was done by,
oh,
shoot,
a really clever art house that did like a great video for Lowe's cover of
independent women by Beyonce or Destiny's Child.
That group is so awesome.
Yeah,
I actually, so as much as people
look at it and just think
what a weird, why would that ever get aired
or whatever, I always liked it.
It worked for me.
It made, it was memorable.
It is an ad that we still talk about today
and that was 20 years ago.
20 years ago, yeah, or maybe even more.
And I remember, I remember even at the time going,
ooh, I could go for Quiznos.
This would be all right.
You know?
Yeah, what else do you want out of your ads?
You want it to be memorable?
You want somebody to think of it
and immediately want your product. It totally works.
Yeah. Have it have it associate with the thing
you think of. So I think of Quiznos every
time. It's not hard to connect
the two. I think it's like brilliant marketing.
I think so, too. Yeah.
So yesterday, Stephen brought
up Jamie Madrox, multiple man
when we were talking about the secret invasion.
I think that, I don't think that
what we're seeing in there is multiple men.
I think we're seeing scrolls that are all
looking like the same person.
Oh, interesting.
Okay. It's not that character then.
It's that character.
Okay.
So, but is it still, okay, there's still this issue of,
uh, the scrolls are fundamentally different in the MCU due to what they did with them in,
uh, right things. They're, they're villains in the, in the, uh, comics.
Yeah. And they, and then, and they're unapologetically villains. There's no like,
oh, they were actually better the whole time. We just didn't, you know, like, they've taken a real turn with it.
So it feels like calling a secret invasion.
invokes what the comic did,
but they kind of can't the way they've set them up.
Unless there's a faction, like they're saying to the chat,
maybe there's a faction of horrible scrolls.
And I think that's exactly it.
I think it's going to be a faction of evil scrolls
that have infiltrated Earth.
Okay.
I'm actually looking forward to this series.
I am too.
It looks like it's got the winter soldier vibes,
and I'm all for it.
A little dark, little gritty.
I like seeing, I like seeing, I'm a sudden Nick Cage.
I like seeing Nick Fury without his patch, so all you see is the small...
But now that I know how he lost his eye, I'm kind of annoyed.
I'm still annoyed about that.
A little bit, yeah.
I just, I think that was a weird idea.
Listen, a flurgan's not a cat.
It's a, you know, he got slashed by a flurgan and did, and it, uh, flurkin.
That's true.
A brutal alien slashed his eye.
Yeah, exactly.
And that should be how I think of it.
But unfortunately, I think of it as a kid.
You see it's just a cat, a tabby.
Yeah, just a cute little tabby.
Abby cat. Poked him in the eye. And Sam Jackson, who doesn't take any crap, who reads from the Bible before he shoots you in the face, you know, that's who, that's now, now he's got a little kitty scratch. Like, I don't know. It's hard for me. It's hard for me. What's under your eye patch?
I haven't quite and got over that yet, I guess. Anyway, otherwise, I quite like that movie. Let's, let's move on. We've got some news to cover today. Thank you all for your calls, by the way. 801-471-0-462 is the number. You can leave voicemails or text.
texts at that line we'll take either all of it works yeah yeah and uh course email if you'd rather
the morning stream at gmail.com okay we got some of this to do here let's uh let's push this
button it's time for the news and it's brought to you by master webbit and his gaming stream
at twitch.tv slash master webbett okay a little uh he's been playing uh splatoon three which is
really fun to watch oh cool okay if y'all want uh if you hear you hear you
hear this stuff and you go, wait a man, how come he's getting his cool thing mentioned?
Here's what I do sometimes.
I go into the Discord, the TMS channel in the Frog Pants Discord, and there's a group in
there called, hold on a second.
Pimp My Stuff or something like that.
Promote Yourself, it's called.
Promote yourself, yes.
Pimp My Stuff sounds more MTV, and I like it better.
We should change it.
It kind of does, yeah.
We should change it.
Because I don't know how friendly the term Pimp is anymore.
Yeah, I don't know if, you know, pimps, we used to think of it.
of his lovable fur-wearing, cane walking.
Yeah.
Lucky bear, sure.
But it turns out they were kind of, and are kind of terrible.
Anyway, when people post stuff in there, I go look in there and go, oh, this sounds like a cool
stream.
We're going to talk about that guy's thing.
That's how I found out about the book and, you know, these sorts of things.
Promote yourself is what I'm saying.
So get in there.
And if you got a thing that you do on the regular or you just publish something on Amazon or
you just made a cool thing and you just want people to see it, you got an Etsy channel
or something, we'll just do it.
These are like free little promos for you people, okay?
Just do it.
Yeah, just do it.
All right, Brian, here's our first story.
Okay.
A woman is suing.
I'm trying to do more Vegas stories as we laid up to our trip.
Okay, all right, good.
I just figure, you know, why not?
And if nothing else, it gives us cautionary tales.
Yes.
Right?
You know, we get, we get, oh, we'll stay away from this intersection in Vegas because there's a chud living
that pops his head out of the sewer every once in a while.
Yeah.
which wouldn't surprise me with that weird underground stuff.
Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me.
But we don't want to scare anybody.
Vegas is a very welcoming town.
It's a great time.
There are, you know, little corners of it.
They're a little suss, but you just need to know where they are and that sort of thing.
You know, in Missoula, we trust.
In Brian, we trust.
Like, they know the town.
We just listen to them where everything's fine.
But, you know, there's the little places you probably shouldn't go.
And I just don't want to freak any of you out, all right?
Everything's fine.
It's all good.
It's an oasis in the desert, Brian.
It's a beautiful city on fire.
the lights and the and the smells and the attractions.
Boy, I should work for the Las Vegas tourism.
You should, yeah.
Maybe don't start.
Maybe the tagline shouldn't be.
It's a city on fire.
Maybe that shouldn't be the, uh, you don't think.
What happens in Vegas?
Burns in Vegas.
That's right.
It's a city swarming with locusts.
That was a few years ago.
Um, all right.
A woman is suing Las Vegas Wendy's, a Wendy's,
a Wendy's location in Las Vegas after she says a hamburger broke her teeth.
Oh.
Yeah, that's not good.
She filed a lawsuit on Thursday against the Las Vegas Wendy's after she claimed it bit,
she bit into the hamburger, which contained pieces of glass-like particles.
Oh, God, I'd be more worried about the glass-like particles cutting my mouth than breaking a tooth,
but maybe whatever she'd been into turned into glass-like particles after she bit it.
This actually brings up the question I've been wanting to ask on the show, and I always forget,
But when you get a burger, I don't care from where.
Fancy burger, cheap burgers, something in between, whatever.
Sure.
Do you open the lid to check things before you eat?
I don't.
I don't think I ever do.
No.
I feel like I don't either, but I should when I read stories like this because I don't want,
I mean, I did that one time with the burger that had the footmark in it.
Yeah, right.
Also a Wendy's.
Also happen to be a Wendy's, exactly.
You should do this more often.
I mean, if you do that, then, you know,
why just limit it to burgers?
Why not, you know, dump all the fries out of the container and kind of look through and make sure there's nothing but fries in there and lift the steak and make sure there's nothing hiding under it?
That's true.
I guess you could get really weird about it.
If you start down one hole, you're just going to overcheck your, analyze your food to death.
I think the problem is, or part of the problem is a burger is, there's a couple things going on there.
One, it's a self-contained cacophony of items.
So there's meat, there's lettuce, there's to me.
made other's condiments, there's all this stuff inside of this little package and also prepared
by a 16-year-old somewhere, right?
So, you know, having that friend that worked with the lid, you're just going to see what's
on top of the cheese.
You're going to see some condiment action, but you're not going to see what's under the cheese
or under the meat.
That's true.
I don't get cheese anymore, so I have that one advantage, but it's not much of one because
it's still, again, it's just a mess.
Like, you don't know what's in that meat.
It's probably in the meat.
If it's a problem, it's either in the meat or under the meat.
Exactly, yeah.
You make a good point.
I think we should all just trust in the burger we're given.
Yeah, and if you run into glass-like particles, then, you know, just don't go there anymore.
Sue the pants off of Wendy's if that happens to.
Exactly.
You give an old-fashioned lawsuit.
Yeah, and old.
Dave Thomas, in his grave, grinning and smiling and thumbs up in that idea.
He loves it.
Well, anyway, she did this, according to.
Clark County District Court.
They broke her teeth, this stuff.
Jennifer Halston, Haston, Haston, I think is I'd say it?
Haston. Yep.
Cues of the fast food restaurant in Rancho Drive, or on Rancho Drive near Craig Road.
I don't know where that is.
No, me neither.
Serving a burger with hard and clear glass-like particles in a court document said,
when she began to consume the burger prepared and cooked by Wendy's and provided to her via the pickup window,
she experienced a tremendous sense of shock and fear as her burger was not juicy
and tender as expected, but instead consisted of hard and clear glass-like particles that not only
created loud, crunching, and breaking sounds, but in fact, these hard and clear glass-like particles
actually broke many of Mrs. Hasten's teeth.
Oh, my God.
I'm just not sure.
What is it again?
Oh, I'm sorry, glass-like particles.
Yeah, I say that a lot.
So I'm trying to think, if this happened to me, this kind of happened to Kim.
She was at a Habit Burger.
Yeah.
And if you know anything about my wife, she has, I don't know how she did this, genetics or just something, something's in the water in Mississippi, but she has perfect teeth and all her wisdom teeth.
She has like extra teeth. She's like a xenomorph. She's got all these extra teeth. And none of them need to be pulled. And they're perfect. All around. They're white as snow. Just my wife and her teeth pisses me off how great her teeth are because I don't have those. And she has hardly any work on them. I think she maybe had one.
one cavity when she was a kid,
nothing as an adult, just pristine.
When they see her mouth, they go, oh, wow.
Can we take a picture of this?
Well, you're a patient of the month.
Again, and there's a long-row...
Every time you come, it all says Kim Johnson on there
and she goes to the dentist.
Right.
But anyway, we were at a habit,
and she bit down on a burger,
and the burger didn't have glass-like particles in it,
but it had a hard, like a little bone,
in you.
Oh, sure.
Right.
Like the cartilagy, whatever.
Yeah.
And hit that just in the right place and just hard enough that it cracked her most
rear right tooth.
Oh, no.
And so she has a crown now as a result.
But it's the only time she's ever had it.
Yeah.
Her perfect record.
She was so pissed, Brian.
She was so mad.
We weren't mad enough to sue, but it was like, I don't think we-
piss me off too.
I don't think we've been back since then.
It's not that they, you know, every,
You're always going to run this chance.
Beef is beef and stuff's in there.
Yeah, exactly.
But we haven't been to the habit in three years or something since it happened.
But anyway, that's story number one.
I don't have one close by, so I can't.
Oh.
You do have them in Colorado now, though, right?
Yeah, somewhere in Colorado, but not near me.
They're not worth, I mean, they're fine if you're near them, but you don't need to, like, go out of your way.
I don't think.
Okay.
They're all right.
They're just like the same kind of thing you get at a, oh, geez, I don't even know what
else to compare it to they're like them smash burger yeah smash burger that's actually i would if there
was a smash burger habit and a five guys the the the argument would be is it five guys or smash
because i'd prefer either of those over over habit over habit so other habits bad there's just of the
three it's not my favorite and those other two i've got close to me so there we go brian's got five guys
right next to him i got five guys just arms reach away oh yeah at all times
All right, here's a story.
Boy, I didn't mean to do this all about food, but I did.
Raman for breakfast?
Well, cup of noodles.
New flavor tastes like egg sausage and maple syrup pancakes.
How do you feel about this?
I'd try it.
Yeah, I'd try it.
I don't know.
I wouldn't seek it out, but I'd try it.
Right?
I would seek it out to try one, for sure, because I'm a big fan of breakfast.
I think it's the most important meal of the day.
And, you know, I like pancakes, too.
so why not can we get these maybe we should try these
imagine we can by the way we have popcorn we have to try on the show oh yeah
do you have it handy like right there i can have it within 60 seconds
all right here's the deal um
you know what mine's right here maybe we do that we just try these you know what go
you want to take your 60 seconds you finish uh talking about cup noodles which doesn't
have an up or an of which always blows my mind that they're not cup a noodles yeah they're just
cup noodles. This is a Mandela thing for me.
It really is, yeah. I can't even look at it
without saying it. It's too weird. All right, I'll bring it back.
All right, so Brian's going to go grab his popcorn.
We got some custom,
custom-ass popcorn.
Where's the, I have a...
Hold on. Hold on.
Oh, somewhere.
Oh, there it is.
I have their business cards, so we can give them props.
Anyway, ramen for breakfast.
Cup of noodles, new flavor. It tastes like egg,
sausage, and maple syrup.
cup noodles I can't say it that way that's effed cup noodles has already cornered the lunch and dinner market for people looking to dine on dime but now it's setting its sights on breakfast the iconic ramen brand's latest product is its first designed product for the most important meal of the day cup noodles breakfast it's a limited edition offering with bright colorful package advertising it being artificially flavored as maple syrup pancakes sausage and egg uh here's my plan some
some way, Brian and I are going to buy these
and we're going to try these on the show.
We're going to get them for the show, and we're going to have
cup of noodle breakfast on the show.
That's our commitment.
I don't know how or how soon.
They're rare.
They're limited time only, so we probably have to find them soon.
But if anyone out there has a line on them and let us know, I'll Venmo you and get
them coming.
I don't know. Maybe I can just get them at the store.
I don't know.
Might be able to. Yeah, I don't know.
These are part of that Nissen Foods USA thing.
said by adding cup of noodles breakfast to our lineup we are truly feeding cravings around the
clock morning noon and night or late night it says i want to say that when we went to japan
there was uh the first morning and we were looking for breakfast and we ended up in one of these
places that you basically have a um a big panel when you walk into the restaurant and you actually
pay for your meal using like coins and bills yeah with this panel choosing what you want
it spits out a little ticket, you take the ticket to the front,
and then they give you the food that you ordered.
Oh, interesting.
One of those things was noodles.
I don't think it was a full-on ramen bowl of like ramen soup,
but it was just noodles.
It was noodles for breakfast, which is like, oh, okay, cool.
I guess if it's just, I mean, it's just carbs, right?
It's just, it's like having cereal or something.
I don't know.
It seems fine.
I don't think it's going to be that bad.
We're going to try it.
Okay, so we got on our hands this popcorn from the popcorn Baron.
Yes.
Keith C. Perry Jr.
That's a cool name.
Super cool.
And I think we might have gotten different flavors because you mentioned Korean barbecue.
I got Korean barbecue and then where's the other one?
Oh, Ambassador Domo says these will be available at Walmart starting tomorrow.
Oh.
These cup noodles things.
All right.
I actually have a Walmart connection.
I got to see if I can use that.
Yeah, you have a direct one.
I'm going to use my connection to Walmart is, hey Kim,
when you're out today, grab me some cup of noodles.
And she'll say, isn't it cup of noodles?
And I'll say, nope, it's cup noodles.
Surprisingly not.
Anyway, so this, the kind I got here is the Korean barbecue.
I can't find the other bag.
I know I have a, actually there's two bags.
One of them had, so there's three, I got three total.
Two of these are savory.
One was sugary, so Kim took the sugary one because I can't have that.
Those would be bad for me.
But I can test these Korean barbecues here, which are very dark.
I mean, that's dark.
Look at that.
That is.
Look at that.
So we did get different flavors because I got cinnamon roll, honey barbecue, and butter chicken.
Oh, my gosh.
Butter chicken.
Butter chicken.
So I'm going to start.
I guess I should start with the savory and then my way down.
That sounds amazing.
I know.
This should be really, really good.
Butter chicken popcorn, you guys.
I know.
I can say with some authority, the last bag, that I can't find is good because I did taste one.
But then I back it up.
That means somebody took it.
Uh-huh.
Let's blame the kids.
Time to blame Nick.
When was Nick here?
And what did he do?
Yep.
All right.
All right.
I'm going to try the butter chicken while you try the Korean barbecue.
All right.
Here we go.
Oh, my Lord.
Oh, wow.
Oh, that's fantastic.
These are flavor blasted, ma'am.
Are yours like super intense?
Super intense.
I am like, I'm at an Indian restaurant right now having butter.
Wow, this has a kick.
I mean, if you look at them, these kernels are just buried in it.
Yeah, yeah.
So it's a kind of snack.
You don't want to, like, eat the whole thing.
You want to, like, spread this one out.
For sure.
All right.
These are great.
Hold on.
Keep going with your other flavors.
Yep.
All right.
I'm going to switch to honey barbecue.
I'll save cinnamon roll for last.
You don't have a website on here.
Is there a Discord or something?
I have a Discord link or like a QR code.
All right.
I feel like I should have a cup.
Oh, no, no, it might.
What were you going to do?
I was going to have some coffee in between to kind of cleanse my palate.
Oh, right.
I don't like it was water.
Hmm.
Which one's that?
Which one's that?
Honey barbecue.
Is it good?
I feel like Violet Beauregard.
I'm like describing.
The everlasting gobstoppers, every flavor.
Oh, no.
Comes into play.
You're going to turn purple.
Oh, second course is chicken.
Yeah.
It's like roasted chicken with honey barbecue sauce on it.
Yeah, we're going to roll Brian out of here when he's done.
That's right.
Oh, here comes dessert.
It's a cinnamon roll.
With all the trimmings.
Oh, man.
Uh, yeah, shoot, I was hoping to send people to a website.
He does have other stuff, though.
look on Twitter, he's at G-E-E-K-O, so G-E-K-I-O-H.
Hmm.
I would seek this shit out.
It's really good.
It's fantastic.
I don't want to take these back upstairs because I don't want Tina to have any of them.
You should hoard them.
You should keep them all for yourself.
Yeah, big fan.
Holy crap, this cinnamon roll is fantastic.
Is it?
I think that's what Kim got.
She won't let me have it.
because it's sugary.
And that's good because I can't be doing sugar.
Yeah.
Yep.
Were the same people?
No,
separate people sent me.
I don't have their name here,
so I probably shouldn't bring it up.
The same people sent it to you,
but it was a different,
like Natalie got this stuff from the popcorn baron.
Oh,
that's what it was.
And then also got these other,
yeah,
the,
the sugar-free gummies.
Yeah, these sugar-free gummies,
these Albany's brand,
shocked by these.
They're,
they're zero sugar.
um let's see and then we gave you the poops no these don't that's what i love about it because the amazon jelly beans were terrible they gave me the poops like nobody's business because they were all sugar alcohols this thing's like some other stuff they're they come off a little sour but actually like that these are great yeah cool thank you everybody for yeah your contributions in particular her what was her full name again do we have her full name uh natalie i don't know her last name Natalie thank you so much that was really nice
Natalie and the guy's name and the cats, if I remember correctly.
I can't remember the guy's name either. I'm horrible.
I can't remember either.
And then Keith C. Perry, Taylor. Natalie Taylor.
Natalie Taylor.
Awesome.
Yes.
Natalie Allen and the Cats.
There we go.
My apologies to Alan for forgetting his name.
I played bass for Natalie Allen and the Cats for a while.
Did you?
Yeah, it was all right.
They didn't really have a good direction in the end.
and we had to break the band up.
Let's see.
One more story here.
We got a four-year-old boy who became the youngest person on the planet to publish a book.
Oh, I like a little feel-good story.
No kidding.
Here's your story.
United Arab Emirates boy became the world's youngest person to publish a book at the age of only four years old and 218 days.
He's working on five.
Wow, no kidding.
Yeah, really.
It's weird to think he's fans age.
Guinness World Records and
Saeed Rashid Amiri
was four years old and 218 days old
when he published his first book,
The Elephant, Said, and the Bear.
The record was verified
when his book sold 1,000 copies.
I guess there's a threshold
that you have to hit to say
you've published a book, I don't know.
Exactly, yeah.
Because you could draw something
on a piece of paper
fold it and have and say it's my book.
Yeah, yeah, and I feel like
that would be slightly disingenuous
to do that.
Yes, exactly.
Let's see here. It says here, his book, or Mary's book, is about kindness and friendship,
and he was inspired by his sister, A Diabi, is her name, who holds the Guinness World record
for the youngest person to publish a bilingual book as a female, and youngest person to publish a bilingual book series, also a female category.
He says, I love my sister so much, and I enjoy playing with her all the time.
Well, he's quite the little speaker for four. We read, write, and draw, and do
many activities together. I wrote my book inspired by her as I felt I could have my own book
too. All right. Just what did? You've set your bar already pretty high. Good luck the rest
of your life trying to live up to that. Yeah, no kidding. Where do you go from here? At five,
you'll be the first person. I mean, I don't know. Where do you go from there? I don't know.
Maybe we're witnessing the next great brain, you know? It could be. This is going to be the future
will be a TED talk. And then after that, everyone will go, oh, I can't believe he did a TED doc at
years old and then at six he'll he'll fix cancer or something i don't know yeah and then at eight he'll
announce his retirement yeah and that'll be the end of it that's gonna do it for today's news
when we come back after this break we'll talk to bill who's been fishing in florida nice
we'll see how he's doing hopefully he didn't get any of that nasty weather down there i hear it's
his brother's birthday today oh just his brother though just his brother not him just his twin brother
yeah not him though because we'll have to tell
to wish his brother a happy birthday from us.
Yeah. Please do.
Anyway, we'll have him here. We got Bobby here.
Got a question from a listener for Bobby.
All kinds of fun stuff coming up.
But we need to take a musical break.
And Brian, as usual, prepared a song.
So what do you got today?
Oh, I love this.
All right.
So if you're a fan of like the mid-1990s alternative rock bands,
things like super chunk material issue,
the heavier stuff the Toad the Wet Sprocket did,
stuff like that, you're going to love this.
this. This is a Brighton, UK band called Harker, H-A-R-K-E-R, and such great stuff. This is really,
really good. This is a brand new track from their, I'm sorry, it's a brand new single that
they released last week. It's called Wasting Time. Here is Harker.
Let me pen this note
I promise that it will be quick
Won't you be me sympathy
It's been two days
Since the cutting length
And the cord is stopping the blood up to my head
Compassion makes us free
But you can't see
I said what I had to say
I've found every word I said
And if you won't talk to me
I'm just wasting time again
Figure on the pulse
What else is left to be
Because I'm not feeling it just yet
I said what I had to say
I'm at every word I said
And if you won't talk to me
I'm just wasted time again
I said what I had to say
I'm at every word I said
But if you want to talk to me
I'm just wasted time again
I said what I said what I had to say what I'm in every word of every word I said
And if you won't talk to me
I'll just waste it time again
All these are the voice
Broken hearts
Everything else is
Why don't ever want to lose to me
I'll just never sense again
Do you ever look at Instagram accounts devoted to you being a heartthrob when you're feeling down?
Yes, I do.
E, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, the morning stream.
Raw meat.
And we've returned.
Who was that one more time, that performer?
Yeah, that is the punk rock powerhouse Harker from Brighton, UK, and their brand new single, Wasting Time.
Nice.
I feel like we don't have enough hardcore punk rocker type modern-y things.
I agree.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It all turned into kind of the emo punk like Blink 182 and.
Mm-hmm.
and that's fine.
It's fine.
We don't mind, but, you know, where's the modern sex pistols, you know?
Exactly, yes.
What happened to them?
Well, we know what happened to them.
What happened to, I don't know.
Well, we know what happened to a couple of them anyway.
I don't know what happened to all of them, but.
They're both, they've been putting their holster.
The sex pistols are, they're being properly cared for, you know,
it's your second amendment right to hold a sex pistol in your hand.
That's right.
That's right.
You need to be trained and have a permit.
Make sure you go to classes to handle your sex pistol.
Yeah, all of those things are important for sure.
There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill?
Oh, look who it is.
I always forget the fart of it being.
Bill Durand joining us from Punishprops.com and recently returned from a big fishing trip or something down there.
Tell us about that.
What did you do?
Sure.
So my parents vacation in Florida every winter.
winter now because they're retired and when you live in the east coast that's what you do
um right uh they used to go down to sanibel island but a hurricane uh clean wiped that right
off the map oh yeah so uh we went to key larko we went out of the florida keys i've never
been down there um brittney and i visited for just a week but my parents were down there for a solid
month and they did lots of fishing oh wow did you catch anything i saw a photo i think of you
Oh, yeah. We caught many fish. Fishing is the thing to do down there. Turns out, everyone's very into it. Every house has a boat lift to put their boat in the water and...
Sure. It was a whole thing, but it was really fun. Fishing isn't exactly my thing, but my dad's very into it. He has a boat that they trailered all the way down there. And we got to go out in the ocean and do some fishing, which I've never done before. And I threw up a lot.
lot oh no just from the boat rocking oh gosh so we went out one day and it was really um just just rolling
waves about three feet and just enough of that over an hour or two yeah uh was enough to
upset my belly yeah i was not the only one my dad's friend ed was there he was also throwing up
so it's a great way to chum the water though and get those fish in there's exactly what we were
doing that is exactly what we were doing and there were many many
And I did catch a fish that day.
I caught one good keeper, a yellow tail snapper.
We ate it later.
Yeah.
Oh, yum.
But we got to go out again the next day, and it was much calmer, and I didn't throw up,
and we caught a bunch more fish.
Did you get your, did you feel like you had your sea legs by then?
Like, you could handle it better or something?
That's what they always say, right?
You just do it long enough and get used to it.
This was more just the weather was better.
The weather was nice and calm.
Yeah.
You're like my wife.
She has the worst motion sickness stuff.
Oh, yeah.
worst. When we went on that cruise, day five was like a choppy day at sea.
Oh, no. Not a good day. Bad day.
No. Yeah, it's, it's miserable.
She was very angry that day, my friends.
I was more worried about her. I'm usually pretty good. I grew up boating and stuff. I'm usually
pretty good, but there's something about like trying to retie a hook while you're staring at it
and the boat is just bobbing up and down by like three feet. That did me in.
That can be a lot. Well, I'm glad you had a good time and got away. It's nothing wrong with that.
It sounds nice. Oh, yeah.
While you were gone, I thought of you a lot because I got, you know, once again, completely obsessed with a Dyson Sphere program, which is, you know, one of these automation freaking things.
My gosh, that game just gets its claws into you and you don't want to stop.
I kind of had to quit and do other stuff because I was doing it at night and I was dreaming all night about conveyor belts and where to put them and why this particular one is all jamming.
up and another one hardly has anything on it.
Did I forget an intake thing somewhere?
Like all of those things you go through while you're playing one of these gains,
satisfactory like that as well.
And I just thought, oh, where's Bill when I need him?
He'd probably have a good solution for the stupid belt.
Anyway.
I haven't tried that one.
I haven't tried Dyson's fear yet.
We did dive into V Rising recently.
Oh, V Rising is great.
Survival crafting.
Yeah.
We love that game.
And thoroughly hooked.
Yeah, that game is certified.
I'd crack. I had to do a similar thing with that one. I had to get off of it for a while, but
it's whole like daylight, stay in the shadows thing. It's pretty unique. It's pretty cool.
It's neat. It is neat. I'm going to be probably playing that all today. Yeah. And probably
make a prop or two is my guess. You never know. Speaking of which, what did you bring for us today
to talk about? Sure. So while I was down in Florida, other than fishing, there was a lot of wildlife.
Of course, I did some photography.
Oh, good.
Shot some animals, my camera.
Oh, yeah, camera.
That's the only way to shoot them.
That's great.
My mom was also there, and she's the photographer that inspired me to be a photographer.
So the two of us were out there trying to get shots of whatever the local wildlife is,
whatever I can't shoot when I'm up here.
And we saw tons of stuff.
So there were iguanas everywhere.
In fact, I just tweeted.
out a handful of photos
that I took while I was out there
if you want to check those out. I'm gonna, yeah.
Eguana's everywhere, but the birds are
really what we were into, and the
bird that I had never seen before,
it was a great white heron.
We see lots of great blue herons,
especially where I'm from in New York
and around here in the Pacific Northwest.
But I've never seen a great white
heron before, and there were a couple of
them around.
Oh, these shots are so good, dude.
Oh, my gosh.
National Geographic knocking at your door or what
So here's how we did that
My mom had been doing recon before I got there
So she kind of knew where to find the birds
And one of them was just in the
It was a short boat ride from where we were staying
And we would go out at sunset every night
During the golden hour
And we knew where the birds were going to be
So we just motor our boat over there
And
just take some photos of him and maybe get
see if he'll take off and try and take a photo of him while he's in the air
oh very cool that's awesome but yeah very much owed to my mom having done
a little bit of recon and research before we got there so that we knew
exactly where to go to get the shots that we wanted
so we saw lots of great white herons you saw lots of eagrots which are very
similar slightly smaller white birds
tons of pelicans of course they're like they're like pigeons around here
There's just pelicans everywhere.
Well, we also saw frigate birds, which I had never seen before.
I don't even know what that is.
What's a frigate bird?
They're really big.
They fly really high up, and they can stay in the air for like days at a time, which is kind of cool.
Well, that is cool.
Also, I'm trying to think, because if they call them a frigate bird, that does imply size.
Like, they've got to be big because frigates like in...
Unless they just hang around frigates.
Oh, good point.
Yeah.
Yeah, like if you're not going to call, like if it's, you've got a power line bird,
it's not because it's made of electrical, whatever.
It's shaped like a power line.
Yeah, it's because it hangs around on power lines.
No, that's really cool.
I knew, you know, someone who appreciates birds like you,
probably every time you go to a place where you're going to have a different ecosystem like that,
you probably get pretty stoked about what you're going to see.
I do, yeah, especially, yeah, the stuff that aren't around here.
And the frigate birds are huge, like six feet and,
wingspan
the bananas
We also saw Osprey
Which aren't that exciting
We have them around here
But I saw lots of them
And I had my long lens
I have a 600 millimeter lens
And we just keep it in the boat
Because we went out fishing a ton
And whenever birds showed up
I could just grab that
And snap them while they're doing fun stuff
I got lots of photos of
Pelicans
Like we'd catch a tiny fish
And hurl it to the pelicans
And try and get a photo of them
Eating it
Because that's a weird
creature
what other creature has a sack on their neck
that they use to swallow fish
hold? Yeah, yeah, I need
look, none of us get to use our sack for anything
that cool. No, certainly not. Not for eating at least.
No, not at all. That's right.
So something else fun I got to do. I brought my GoPro
and I
zip tied it to a stick
to like a mop handle
so that I could
shove it in the water
and film animals that are near the water.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah, this manatee thing or something.
And you'd have a remote, like you'd be looking on your phone at whatever it's capturing.
You can.
I tried that, but the impedance from the water actually cuts the signal off pretty quickly.
Oh, really?
So I did try and view it while it was underwire.
That didn't quite work.
But you and I have the same idea.
So I would just sort of blindly stab under the water and hope that I could frame.
frame the manatee
or whatever it was
behind the house where
every house is on a canal
and your back
yard is just water
and there's a little fish cleaning station there
so we'd clean the fish
and then throw the bits in the water
and I got a video of a nurse shark
at some point swimming around under there
and then this manatee friend showed up
and wanted to gobble up some
the cows of the sea
yeah yeah look at that
see, like, scars and stuff on.
Yeah, he's, what do you think that is?
Scratch on his neck there, geez.
What is that from, do you think?
Is that, like, another animal did it?
Or you get it from, like, a boat?
Friggin' bird.
With a knife.
It's probably the propeller of a boat.
Oh, man, he is banged up.
Look at the back end, too.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I'm good for him, and is vacuuming up all the shit
nobody else wants to eat.
That's what you want from your cat's sea cow.
Good on him for getting that big eating lettuce off the bottom
the ocean that's so cool look at you mr uh mr's deep sea freaking uh right
Netflix will call you for their new attenborough documentary anytime dad yeah my documentary
is called go pro on a stick go pro on a stick you know what i would watch the hell out
of a series called go pro on a stick for sure yeah all the weird stuff you could do with a
go pro on a stick is an amazing idea for a show don't tell anyone a good thing we're not on the
air where lots of people hear there's nobody tell anybody yeah no i do it's completely
We are a little secret.
Bill Quest DSV says the chat.
That's perfect.
Oh, my lord.
So I had an idea.
I didn't, I wasn't brave enough to try this.
My GoPro says it will survive up to 130 some odd feet underwater.
And we were fishing in 130 feet of water.
I considered tying my GoPro to the sinker on my fishing pool and just dropping it down 100 feet and see what it gets.
Yeah.
But there's no light down there.
And I also didn't want to lose my camera, and I also didn't want to get crushed,
it to get crushed by the depths.
But I was tempted.
It would have been pretty cool.
Yeah.
Now, that's cool.
Do you ever feel like you maybe had a second life in that career, you know, doing?
Like videography.
Yeah, like animal stuff and all that.
I could see you doing that.
Yeah, I really, I enjoy, like, the Attenborough nature documentaries, like that sort of stuff.
And I'm always blown away when you see a shot, like a wildlife shot.
and you're amazed by it
but then you stop to think
how did they get that
how on earth did they get that shot
I would watch a documentary
a documentary just about that
about how they get those shots
yeah the how they made it stuff is fascinating
because a lot of times it's just simply
crazy lenses no one else has
or sometimes it's like
or sitting and waiting for a long
long time just taking a ton of B roll
until that goat did a thing
that you couldn't believe you caught on film
finally be able to use
like John Wilson basically
Yeah, that's a great way of putting it.
He just does a urban version of the same damn thing.
I hope that new season comes soon.
But anyway, this is great, dude.
I always love your stuff with this.
I always find it fascinating.
I'm glad you could share it here.
And before we let you go, we have to wish you a happy birthday.
Well, let's wish your brother a happy birthday today.
Yeah, your brother's birthday today.
My handsome and charming, identical to a brother, Rob.
Happy birthday, Rob.
That's right.
He spent the week fishing for, I don't know, term,
papers or whatever he does now.
He's a teacher and it always cracks me up because I always felt like you guys could swap
places one day and he could do some really weird build and you could teach a bunch of kids
and don't want to be the wiser.
Nobody would know.
When I was young, I wanted a twin so I could Freaky Friday everything.
You know what?
I never wanted to do that as a kid.
I don't know why.
It turns out actual twins don't care the way we all think you should.
No, no.
It's weird.
This whole thing is a lot.
Yeah, it's a lot more novel for you.
Well, that's awesome, dude.
I'm happy birthday.
Do you have a little bonus link for us this week before you go?
I do.
This is a fun YouTube channel called Project Air.
He does a lot of RC car and plane type stuff.
This particular one is an off-the-shelf RC plane that he bought, but he put rockets on it.
So while it's flying, he could hit a button to launch the rockets and make it go wicked fast.
Oh, God.
Also, first you throw it.
After burner button, basically.
Yeah, what?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't watch this whole thing.
Yeah, I want to do stuff like this.
You should do this.
I want to have rockets to more RC vehicles.
When I told you, when my dad, you and my dad are similar souls.
My dad, when I was a kid, we did the Pinewood Derby thing.
And he figured out a way to rig.
This obviously we couldn't compete in the proper contest, but he rigged a CO2 cartridge in the
back of a car and then made a launcher out of a out of a mouse trap and a ruler and it was just
like super janky put together thing but we raced it and that thing just about hurt somebody i mean
that thing flew out of there ripped through the track nearly hit a kid in the head went halfway
across the gym it was an it was an amazing thing that's what this reminds me of uh you guys would
be fast friends if generations were different anyway uh very cool go check this one out again this is
project air on uh youtube and don't
Don't forget the Punish Props YouTube channel as well.
Amazing stuff happening there.
PunishProps.com as well.
Bill, have a great week.
Thank you.
See you guys.
No more pukin, all right?
Slow down on the weapon.
Keep it on the inside.
Yeah, Cube.
Sometimes it's good to reset, but I don't know.
That would have been the end of my streak if I was Bill.
Right.
Yeah.
So no deep sea fishing, not deep sea, but, you know, I guess it is deep sea fishing, right?
Because it just wasn't in the sea.
He was out fishing for...
Yeah, I think you're still technically deep sea fishing.
Deep sea fishing.
I mean, it doesn't have to all be sorted.
In any case, that video is now on quicktms.l.
I for those people who don't listen live and want to go see what the heck Bill was talking about.
Yeah, all these things we bring up, most of them go there.
So check it out.
It's a resource, you know?
That's right.
Mostly.
Mostly.
We're going to add Bobby to this call, mostly.
And it'll be great because Bobby,
is the man, and he has a plan.
Here's his intro.
Oh, you know what?
It's doing that thing.
We figured something out.
It's this done-away thing in the region.
Well, we'll get to it in a second.
There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill?
Well, you're not, Bill.
Damn it.
Say it!
Bob is hungry, and the soup looks good.
I just hit the wrong button.
It wasn't because I confused him with Bobby.
Or Bill.
Sure.
you're really you're really making it clear that that's the case yeah let me dig that you have
another shovel I could use another shovel to dig this hole uh sorry Bobby is here and he's here to
talk about science and stuff but before we do there is this thing that we think is going on we finally
have a theory done away has this problem and you sometimes have this problem connecting and we
think it's something to do with the region you're in which is down there in south carolina
of somewhere and where servers for Discord are located because every time there's like a weird
little what's that air RC something thing that's because it's the air message you get yeah and it
takes a while sometimes you have to reconnect it's like stupid weird and I think that's what
happened and I noticed something also you guys tend to have a little more lag going your way and
coming back than when we're on that connection but if I switch things to be central it fixes
itself?
Our servers here in South Carolina, they're always trying to secede from the rest of the
servers.
That's the problem.
Dang it.
Oh, man.
I thought Texas was trouble.
You guys down there.
That actually wasn't the problem this time.
I accidentally, when you called, I accidentally, Claire had just sent me a message and
I accidentally called her real fast, and so I had to hang up.
Oh, you probably made it.
Did she answer and go, God time that.
no no no I hung up before anybody answered she's doing an escape room right now I guess
oh really hilarious what weird timing since I yeah yeah it's that that was but um anyway
no she didn't answer and I called you real fast god damn let me ask you this when you're doing
us well you won't know this but Claire would have to answer this but if you do an escape room in
Ireland is it like try try be careful and get away from the potato before it I mean like
What do they do there?
You have to find the pot of gold in order to.
That's right.
Every escape room is the same way.
It's, uh, yeah, somewhere, somewhere hidden in this room is a pot of gold.
There's a rainbow.
But you thought to be aware of the lucky charms.
Yeah, they got a lucky charms.
You got all the stereotypes.
I, uh, I drove somebody, uh, lifted the other day who, um, it was, it was, uh, two women,
uh, wives to each other.
And, uh, one runs the, this brewery and the other one runs this escape room next
door and they both they work together so where you're at the escape room you can actually
order a drink they will bring your drink into you in the escape room they also serve for food
but you can't have that in the escape room but you can drink while you're in the escape room which
really that is crazy that is crazy you should do that one and tell us what that's like that's weird
because i i wouldn't want to order a drink only because it would take time well that you know
I mean, you just keep working while you're waiting for your drink, obviously.
As long as I can work, as long as I can just yell my order while I'm doing,
because you're yelling everything while you can.
Yeah, that's exactly what you do.
So you're like, okay, you go over here and put that thing.
Hey, I need a beer.
Exactly.
I want a nice Irish stout.
But they, the thing I'd be most worried about is people spilling on the delicate controls.
Oh, right.
That's a weird thing.
That's like, not like going to a movie theater.
having food. It's like you're in an
interactive environment where you're trying to
get out. Knobbs and dials and little
switches and things. You've got to look for tiny keys.
You can't get them all sticky with beer residue.
Yeah. But what are we? Animals?
No, we're not.
That's it. I'll go try it and I'll let you know. Yeah, you should let us know,
Brian.
Working on yet another YouTube channel, Brian's
escape room reviews. That's right.
But that and Bill's new
GoPro on a stick coming soon to a YouTube
channel near you.
Perfect. Bobby, it's good to have you here. We're going to
start things with an email before we get to the science.
And this deals with your whole flying world.
And this is what Road Rash and Canada said.
Oh, hold on. I said Canada.
Here we go.
For Bobby on Flying and Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Interesting.
He says it's on the spring sale right now on Steam.
This email's a little older.
This text, so that's gone now.
But it's also on Game Pass, everybody, if you want to play it there.
Anyway, is it fun and worth the 60 bucks?
Does it mimic the technical mechanics of flying close?
Honestly enough, I'm not trying to be a pilot, but I enjoy an accurate simulation and real-world physics versus easy mode arcade style.
Mouse and keyboard are okay or controller or full yoke and foot pedals needed. Thanks, road rash.
So have you messed around in there much? I assume you have.
Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. I love Microsoft Flight Simulator. I think this is a good question for, not just for this person, but also for people like me who want to learn to fly and have questions about Microsoft Flight Simulator.
it's usefulness.
Can't you, instead of spending whatever the cost is now, now that it's an off sale and stuff,
can't you just type some code into Excel and play it for free?
Yeah, it's just a secret field in Excel.
It goes you go.
You could type and you'd get there, like Windows 95 Flight Simulator, whatever it was.
There used to be a way.
That was a thing, right?
That was a thing, yeah.
Yeah, I remember that.
This is, boy, this new one, this new, I don't know if it's a version.
Is it 10 or something?
thing, whatever it is, uh, is the most realistic looking thing I've ever laid eyes on. It's insane.
And it's got nice VR support. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. And it's got really good. Um, they had this,
so there were some bugs early on that were pretty funny, but it has this really cool geo mapping, um,
technique. So instead of them having to go and hand build all these landmarks and because it's all
based on actual, you know, distances of things and everything in between is, is accurate and everything.
but in the early days
it kind of reminds me
of this AI stuff today
but in the early days
some things would be just too big
like a tree for no reason
in Montana
would be like 9,000 feet tall
and you had to go bug squash it
but it's in really good shape
and absolutely beautiful game
yep it is
so
I do reckon it's very realistic
it's so with caveats
right
um and i'll explain what those caveats are when i talk when i explain how you would want to use it or not want to use it if you're actually learning how to fly
but it's very realistic the it is called Microsoft flight simulator and so that's what they do is they're trying
really hard to simulate flight right um and they've got a lot of different planes in there all the way from a little uh little
Piper Cubs, like one or two-seaters that are very small, all the way up to big A-320 airliners.
And you can fly all of them, and they've got good tutorials in there that teach you how to fly.
They teach you about, you know, somewhat of the aerodynamics of flight, but at least how to do it, what to press.
You know, you've got just different things.
you've got to worry about things like stalling and lift, and it's very realistic.
These instruments all work, and you can do all kinds of stuff in there.
You can play it with, you can play it with your keyboard and mouse.
You can play it with an Xbox controller.
You can actually get it on the Xbox.
And you can get a full flight yoke.
I've got one right here for that you.
Let's take a look at that.
Oh, yeah.
That's cool.
Oh, yeah, a little.
Oh, you have all the smear.
Okay.
Thing to clip and mount onto your...
I know some people get nuts about it and they buy the...
You know, they build like a cockpit and they go crazy.
Yeah, it can be very expensive.
I want to get all sorts of stuff, but it's expensive.
Does it also have like foot to foot rudder?
Yes, I'm not going to pull those out, but I do have the rudder pedals as well.
That's cool.
That's cool.
And if you're looking...
Can you use those squish to talk like, you know, when you're not playing?
I bet you can.
That'd be awesome.
Yeah, it'd be totally cool.
Might as well.
You've got them under there.
That's a wonderful idea.
Yeah, I bet you can.
but um i got so so the question about what you should use it depends on what you're trying to do like
if you just want to fly around and look at things like using use whatever the keyboard mouse
use a controller but if you're trying to if you really want to feel the experience of flying a plane
you should i really do recommend getting the at least a yoke and um at least that so a yoke for
people who don't know are just the things you hold on to and turn to to to fly the plane like you
pull back to go up, you push forward to go down
to pitch forward, and then
you turn it left and right.
There's, you can,
you'll get a lot out of it
just from that. I also
got the
the,
the like,
what do you call it? Like throttle
panel. That has the lever
on it. Yeah, the
push forward, pullback thing.
Yeah, and it's got like three levers on
it that you can use to adjust throttle and
mixture. Because when you're in a plane, you know, you're
controlling the air and fuel mixture and stuff like that so and the rudder pedals you don't you
don't need that that's like so that's the order in which I would get those three things if you're
looking for simulation is the is the first the flight yoke then if you want to go further I
would get the the levers and then the rudder pedals I would go at the end because
those are probably the hardest thing to get used to how they actually work and and you
can, in Microsoft Flight Simulator, you can, you can have it set up to automatically
adjust the rudder for you.
Do they have a setting where I get stuck in Detroit for three hours and then my bag goes
missing or any of that?
Is that part of the simulation?
Yeah, you can be stuck in a holding pattern and then lose everybody's luggage.
Wonderful.
Yeah.
Wonderful.
Somebody throw up during food service.
It's just realistic as it gets.
So in terms of how much, how closely it simulates.
This is what my recommendation for anybody who's learning how to fly,
like actually starting from zero and wanting to learn how to fly for real.
If you really want a pilot's license,
I suggest you not fly a flight simulator.
And if you've already been flying a flight simulator
and you plan to learn how to fly,
I recommend stopping now.
I speak from experience.
I did learn a lot about instruments,
and I learned a lot about how the things in the play.
plane work, but the problem is
that when you fly
in the flight simulator, you
develop a lot of really bad habits
because
a lot of learning how to fly,
especially small planes like Cessna's,
a lot of learning how to fly
is learning, you have to learn
how to
feel what's happening.
Because you're in the air, you're
flying, you know the old term flying
by the seat of your pants that actually refers to
how you're
body feels in the seat and you need to you can't simulate that um at least not in your home office
so it's really hard so what happens is i flew probably a hundred hours in Microsoft flight simulator
before i ever took a lesson and you develop all these habits because of the fact that you can't feel so
when you're learning how to fly you have you have to learn how to look outside the plane and judge a lot of
things by looking around you, where's the horizon, where are you in relation to the horizon,
you know, pitching up and down, banking left and right, all that kind of stuff. And it feels a
certain way. But when you, since you can't feel that in Microsoft Flight Simulator, you end up
developing a sense of looking at the instruments a lot, which are good and useful. But when
you're first learning how to fly a plane, it's, it's looking at the instruments too much is bad. You
don't want to do that. So it took me a long time to break that habit. So it's not quite as
rudimentary as like, you know, they always say if you want to be in the Army, don't train on
call of duty. You're not going to learn out of fire again. Like it's not, it's not real training.
This is closer to, from a technical standpoint, closer to the simulation aspects of it, but you still,
there's nothing like the actual deal, obviously. Right. And there are some good use of
for Microsoft Flight Simulator when you're learning how to fly,
but not to actually learn how to operate and aviate the plane,
like how to fly the plane.
Microsoft Flight Simulars really good as a procedural simulator.
So there are a lot of things in flying where you have to learn procedures.
When you start to get good at flying well enough that you're staying in the pattern
and learning the step-by-step procedure about how to take off and land a plane,
the simulator can be good for that.
because you have to memorize certain things.
And so doing it over and over again at home can be really useful,
as long as you are not trying to make a one-to-one connection between how things look in the simulator
to how it's going to look in the real plane or how it's going to feel and stuff like that.
Also, I haven't done this yet, but once you go start, if you're a pilot who decides to get an
instrument rating, from my understanding, a flight simulator can be really useful for an instrument rating
because of the reasons I just said before, you're flying only by the instruments.
And there's a lot of procedure that you're trying to learn for things like how to make instrument approaches to airports and how to navigate only using instruments and stuff like that.
Yeah, and my understanding, too, I'm watching video right now of a London to Paris flight on a commercial type jet.
And it takes as long as it does.
Yes, that's 100% true.
That's one of the fun things about it, too, is that if I want to fly from here and
Columbia to Atlanta, it's going to take, you know, an hour and a half, two hours, whatever it would
take. Yeah, a lot of sky and clouds as part of that. Like, you're just going to be up there at 30,000
feet looking at nothing. And it's like, you know what it's like? It's like that Euro truck
simulator. Yeah. People think, oh, fun. I deliver stuff. No, no. This is like you're behind
the wheel for eight hours. This is driving in nowhere land trying to get from one place to the other.
And there is a, there is a market for that. People like that. People like that.
that. It's not really for me so much. Like for me, I've played Microsoft Simulator, or a flight simulator,
but I played it on some of the more arcadey settings. And the good news is if that's what you're
looking for, you can totally do that. You can have real simple map to your controller kind of
controls. And if you want to see what it's like to slam your jet into a Eiffel Tower and get yourself
on a list, go for it. But it's for the folks who really want like this, they want to
simulate the experience, the procedures, the cloud cover, all those aspects and the time it takes
you to get from like New York to London. Good deal. That's what this does. Yeah. You can control
that too. You can control the weather. You can control where the cloud bases are, how much the
wind is, how many, like what the cloud coverage is. You can control, um, oh, one of the things they
added in this current version of Microsoft Flight Simulator is you were talking about like you,
if you fly from like New York to, to London. Yeah. How long is that?
that's going to take a long time in the game.
But they actually made it to where you can speed it or like you can you can cut out the time if you want to.
Yeah, you can skip it if you want.
The boring, the long boring parts.
Yeah, you can like skip forward.
Like you've got everything set up and you're just flying and you can skip to like a certain point in your flight.
Let's skip all the Atlantic and get right to the coast.
Yeah, honestly, because you might want to do that, you know.
Yeah, I'd like to do that when I'm on that flight.
That'd be cool.
No kidding.
Yeah.
So that's where I try to sleep.
I'm not very good at it, but I try.
Very cool.
All right.
Well, there's our little bonus conversation.
If you guys have a question for Bobby or for Bill or anybody else who's on Tuesdays, you can always send us in.
We're happy to read them here on the show.
Bobby, you didn't bring just that, though.
What else did you bring today?
What's going on?
I brought a really quick thing.
It's actually fortunate that we had a question because I didn't think I was going to make it today because of flying lessons and then they got canceled and all this kind of stuff.
So I threw together something real fast, which was that,
Just yesterday, April 3rd for anybody listening on the podcast after the fact, NASA announced the names of the next astronauts to go to the moon.
Oh, right, yes.
Yeah.
The actual Artemis crew just got announced yesterday.
And it's pretty exciting.
I mean, like, these are the first people in over 50 years that are going to go to the moon.
And are they going to just orbit around it, or are they going to set foot on?
Yeah, okay.
So this is the Artemis 2 mission is they're just going to orbit around the moon.
A lot of it is to test and practice all the operations that are going to happen for when they finally do go on a mission.
I think just Artemis 3 actually is the next one is supposed to go land on the moon.
I could be wrong about that.
Have you noticed these people look like AI generated people?
I was going to say that to you.
And it made me wonder.
Oh, that's hilarious.
That picture does look like it was made by AI.
It's a real picture, but it made me realize I can't trust photos anymore.
I know.
Even if it's not AI, it looks like just 3D generated from a good video game.
Yeah, like a video game's presenting a trip to Mars or something, and here's your crew,
and pick one of your pick your hero, and you're going to go play that person.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah.
It's very weird.
And I didn't expect that when I saw it yesterday.
So part of me was like stoked.
I was excited.
And then I went,
I can no longer tell reality from not reality anymore.
Yeah.
But you'll notice when you look at that picture,
you'll notice right away that the exciting thing is that the first woman and first person of color to go to the moon are in that picture.
Oh, yeah.
That's great.
So that's a big deal.
There they are more full-bodied shot.
Still looks AI generated.
Still says the head same.
You could have just shown me the heads, and I would have said, probably an astronaut.
Yeah.
Like, if I didn't see the suit, the uniforms.
No kidding.
Especially that guy on the right, he's the one of the mission specialists.
He's a Canadian.
Oh, cool.
And he, like, definitely looks like an astronaut.
He does.
He looks like he's got a, he goes by a nickname.
He doesn't go by his actual name.
He looks like he goes by, you know, Brick, Brick Taylor.
Yeah.
Brick Taylor's a perfect name.
Brick Taylor.
Oh, my gosh.
That square jaw.
Yeah.
These guys are, the way you tell it's not AI, though, you zoom down to their laps and their
helmet there, and you can see their hands.
Those fingers all look good.
Those are people.
They only have five fingers.
They only have five fingers.
I hope that they always keep that in AI so we can tell the difference.
I know.
That should be the, you know what?
That should be the agreed to watermark for all AI generation.
The fingers will be effed.
That's how we'll know.
Anyway.
So the names of the four people.
People are, the commander, the mission commander is Reed Wiseman.
He's, he's been up, this is a second trip to space.
He's spent 165 days in space.
He's going to be the mission commander.
The pilot is Victor Glover.
And he's also been to space before on the ISS, the International Space Station.
Wow.
There's, oh yeah, not just first person of color to go to the moon, but first person of color to leave Earth's orbit.
Yeah.
Wow.
And he's flying the thing.
That is amazing.
Like, can you imagine being a pilot of a spaceship?
Oh, my God.
Dude, I know.
He looks like a badass, too.
Look at that guy.
I like him.
He looks like he's going to save all the asses.
But a friendly badass.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
When something goes wrong, brunt, brunt, brunt, oh, no, we're leaking schmoo fluid from the ding-dong.
He's going to walk and go, I got this.
I got this.
Yep, that's what he's going to do.
Christina Hammock, Koch, Koch, Koch, I don't.
know what her name is.
She's
mission specialist. There are two mission specialists.
The other one is Jeremy Hanson,
aka Brick.
Jeremy Brick Hanson. I like Brick Hanson
even better. Brick Hanson.
Brick Hanson. He's
the other mission specialist, and
he's the Canadian. He's, I think
it's the first Canadian to work with
NASA on these. I'm probably
wrong about that. I shouldn't say that. Oh, we forgot to
fuel it up. Sorry. That's what he'll say.
canada that's great great canadian's uh lots of cool space people in canada um who's the dude up there
with the mustache everyone loves uh oh um damn i wish you had no because he's he's a cool guy who's
always up in space station talking to everyone yeah he's just great someone in the chat will know
his name i can't remember his name he's awesome though so canada look oh chris hadfield
Chris Hadfield.
Yes.
The guy who sang the cover of Bowie's space oddity.
Yes.
Oh, yeah, right.
That was him.
Yeah.
Not to be confused of Chris Redfield, who is just a Resident Evil character, not real.
Oh, I always get those two confused.
Yeah, it's hard to mix them out or not mix them up.
Why is that guy from Resident Evil singing that David Bowie song?
And why is this spaceman shooting zombies?
You almost became a David Bowie sandwich.
oh my lord well this is great great news and when is this mission it's ways off right
uh we i think it's sometime next year i think but it's sooner than i thought i thought it was like
years and years away i don't know why i don't i honestly don't remember i i don't pay close
attention to the dates when they're this far away because nassah always delays um so it's
just i try not to get too excited understandable but this is still cool and
It's very cool.
I just can't imagine being one of those people, and they're going to be going to the moon.
Yeah.
Well, space suits are badass, too.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're new, brand new space suits.
That's one of the big deals is that there were new spacesuit designs that are supposed to be more modular and easier,
because one of the problems that NASA's always had is you had to be, in the specifications to become an astronaut,
you had to be a certain height and size because their spacesuits only fit certain kinds of people.
Right.
Oh, sure.
Because they were just, until these ones, they've been using the same space suits that were made in the 60s.
In the 60s and 70s.
Wait a minute.
So are you saying that James Bond couldn't have just taken Jaws' suit in Moonraker and put it on because they have a different body type?
What?
Yeah.
Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
Well, there it is.
Look forward to it.
And I don't know.
Stuff like this makes you optimistic about humanity.
I need more of these sorts of stories.
Yeah.
You know?
It's like, hey, we're going to the moon again, for real, and look at all these cool people,
and they're all ready to go, and they look like AI-generated robots, and that's all so cool.
And usually don't get scandals around astronauts.
Usually astronauts are like, you know, the best of us, unless they're that woman who peed in a bladder,
drove across country to stalk her.
Oh, yeah, that was weird.
That was weird.
Yeah, that was a weird one.
I forgot about type of lady.
But other astronauts.
Yeah, most of them.
One bad astronaut doesn't spoil the whole flight crew.
No.
That's the one bad Apple scenario.
It actually applies to astronauts.
It does.
Yeah.
Sometimes not cop so much.
Anyway, well, that's fantastic.
Good news, everyone.
We're going to the moon.
Quick question.
Is the point to just go there again?
Or is the point to do a bunch of new shit that we didn't do before?
Oh, holy cow.
The point, we're trying to build a moon base, Scott.
Oh, my God.
Oh, right.
further for further exploration.
Didn't we have this whole story on here about,
did we bring it up on this show,
how Rolls Royce has a deal for powering something
or doing, bring an internet up there or something like that.
They're doing something.
You know that that's not the car company, right?
It's, well, it's the parent company that owns it all, right?
They do cars, but do other stuff.
No, so it's a, I think it's,
I'm pretty sure it's a different company because they just,
it's like, you know how two companies might split off
and they just like one of them just puts,
like limited at the end of it
but they have the same name
but they're like two different companies
I think that's the situation with
there are two Rolls Royces come on
well okay so there's motor cars and then there's
Rolls Royce delivering power
let's see power solutions
those are the ones whoever they are
but they seem like they're the same
parent
I'm certainly I'm just speaking
I'm certainly have not
looked deep into it but I think that's what I heard
I don't know.
All right.
I'm going to look them up later.
But even if what you originally said is right, yeah, they're not the same.
They're not like making cars and.
No.
No.
They're like GE.
The overall parent company.
Yeah, they're like GE when they split up and did a bunch of weird stuff.
Or when IBM broke out, you know, different services or whatever and became like, okay, well, sure, they still do some consumer stuff.
But really, the main company now is doing all this, like, high-end, whatever.
I think it's like that.
But anyway, that's kind of cool.
Sure enough, rollsroyce.com, uh, Pops and Recline found a link.
So they're,
they're backing it to do the nuclear power plant to put on the moon for future use.
Yeah, that's what it is.
I don't know if they're working with them on this particular mission or not,
but I knew it was the moon.
But I want to go to the moon.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Can I get a,
can I get a Kevin Spacey voiced robot up there, or is that not an option anymore?
Do you want that?
I mean, if it's just his voice,
and not his behavior.
I'm okay with that, I think.
Although, if I get to choose voice,
right, give me, like, I don't know,
we talked about Attenborough earlier?
Give me that voice.
Give me David Attenborough.
You know, could Bowie's son just go in
and put a new voice into that?
It's not like you have to match it up
with any mouth movements or anything.
Well, that's true.
They could redo that movie.
You could redo that movie with a different voice.
I want a robot with Gilbert Godfrey's voice.
Oh, my God.
Gosh, rest his soul, I think it's, I think he, his, his family would approve your idea.
I think he'd be down with it.
You want me to open the pod bay doors?
I can't do that right now.
You're going to have to do something else because I can't open the pod bay doors.
I'm sorry, Dave.
I can't do that.
Rest in peace.
All right.
Bobby, always fascinating stuff as usual.
And if you want more science content, good news.
Bobby makes a podcast called All Around Science.
Tell them about it
and where they can get it.
I do have a podcast called All Around Science.
Mora, my co-host just actually,
so we talked about the people here,
but before they were announced,
last week's episode that just came,
or the one we recorded last week that just came out yesterday,
Mora talked all about the Artemis II mission
and what they're going to be doing.
So if you're curious about that,
you were asking about that, Scott.
If you're curious about it, go listen.
All around science.
You can find it wherever.
All around science.
Real fast, before I go,
I do have to mention, because I talked about it last week.
I know you two know, but I should let everybody else know.
I did pass my medical flight test.
Congratulations.
Yay.
Woohoo.
The eyes have it.
Yeah.
So if anybody, if you're up there and somebody goes,
ah, my spleen, you'll know what to do.
Exactly.
Exactly.
I'll ask if there's a doctor on the plane.
Yeah.
Fantastic.
Was it, were you as nervous as you thought you would
be? I was very nervous, but the guy did a really good job of putting me at ease. And it was mostly
fun once we got up in the air. And when I got down, he said, you're done good. And now I'm just
waiting for the paperwork and then I'll be able to start flying lessons solo. What would you,
what would happen? Let me ask you a scenario. Okay. You're going up in the air. You're up there.
How high do you get in these planes that you're flying right now? When I'm flying, usually I'm somewhere
between like 1,500 to 3,500 feet.
All right.
Let's say you're 3,500 feet.
Everything's going great.
And you get up there and he goes, okay, now level off.
And you're like, okay, I'm leveling off.
And then he goes, now take off your pants.
What would you do?
What would your reaction be?
Would you immediately nosedive and go, I'm out of here, buddy?
And you go, like, land or what would you do?
Eject?
I would unlatch his door.
Kick him out with your left leg and fly home.
All right, fair enough.
I don't know why that popped into my head, but it did.
We all know why that popped in you.
We have an idea.
You're the only one who doesn't know it.
I'm honestly surprised it took this long for you to ask me.
I just like to think of all the scenarios.
You know, it's just always there.
Bobby, have a fantastic week.
I look forward to next Tuesday, and even more so in a few weeks seeing you in Las Vegas, Nevada.
No kidding.
See you later.
Bye now.
All right.
There goes Bobby.
Cool.
Okay, Brian, couple easy things here to mention.
There is a stream today that people may want to attend.
I don't know.
If you're a sucker for me being a freak and being scared of things on a screen,
then today's of your day.
Three to five p.m. today.
Resident Evil 4 remake playthrough part two with me and John Jagger
will be streaming that at twitch.tv.tv slash frogpants.
That'll be every Tuesday until we're done.
So do check that out.
That's 3 p.m. through 5 p.m. today.
That's mountain time.
right here at twitch.tv.tv slash frog pants.
So check that out.
Two hours of ridiculous, stupid, scary things.
Will there be, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
There might be that.
There might be that.
There could be, that might happen.
Can't think what else.
There might be a little bit of, hold on, maybe there's this.
Hold on.
Maybe this right here.
We'll see.
We'll see how I do.
That's good, too.
Yeah, maybe a shit on me or a shit potatoes.
Or a mention of Mark and Hoffler, parts of Mark Knopfler's body.
It's so funny that you always remember that.
I saw an interview with him, some short YouTube thing,
or he's talking about how he came up with the riff for the money for the chicks for free.
And he was interesting, his whole process and everything.
But the whole time, all I could think about is yelling Mark Knopfler's penis or whatever.
It's just a weird thing to do.
Anyway, that'll be tonight.
So check it out.
Patreon.com slash TMS is how you support this show.
We lost a couple of you last month.
We need you back or someone to take their place.
Step into their place somebody or up your thing so that it keeps the ship even.
You know, we want to.
Exactly.
Or even make the ship float a little higher.
Listen, we've said this before.
If everybody listening to our voices right now, just put in a dollar a month.
Just a dollar a month.
Then we'd have, I think we'd reach our FrogPence All-Stars trivia game level.
We'd, listen, I could quit lifting.
Even though it gives a lot of fun stories, I could, I could just put that, just put that, push that aside.
Yeah.
And you could do it before the robots take over and do self-driving.
Robots are going to be here anytime.
Yeah, they're coming anyway.
May as well get out in front of it.
So, and look, I'm not, I realize there are people who, for whatever reason, they're having a rough month, or it's a little tight.
and they got to put it on pause for what i get it i totally get it and there's not no shade in your
direction um and please keep listening to the free version of the show we don't have a problem
with that um but if anyone else out there's like well i'm doing real good right now your dollar
could come in you know your dollar yeah yeah anyway go check it out and uh see what you think
patreon dot com slash tms for all the details let's get out of here we need a song though did you bring one
or i done brought a song and uh this one's going out to matthew said good morning skittles and button
A year ago, I started a new job, and Brian was good enough to play my request to celebrate.
I sure was.
Well, I'm back again to request another song on the first anniversary.
I know you're worried that he was going to say, and I just got fired, so can you play a song about, no.
That would suck.
Who knew you could go to work each day and not hate what you do?
A big part of this has been thanks to my colleague, 80.
We quickly bonded over our love of Stranger Things, so I wanted to request this cover of a Kate Bush song.
Thanks for all the joy you both bring each weekday morning, signed Matthew.
you. Well, happy
first anniversary and your new job. Glad you
love it. And big thanks
to 80 for
providing you some friendship there
at the new job.
This is not
the
Kate Bush song you most associate with
Stranger Things, which is running up
that hill. This is a different one.
This is the one that Matthew requested.
I like it. I like hearing a different take on this.
This is very similar to one that I got
from LitRefs.
which takes Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights and just adds a nice little guitar hard edge to it.
This is so good.
This is by a band called China Drum.
This is from the album, no, I'm sorry, it's from a single that they released in 1996.
Here is Wuthering Heights by China Drum.
Out on the wily, windy moor's, we'd roll and fall in green.
You had a temper, like my jealousy, too hot too greedy.
How could you leave me when I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you too.
Bad dreams in the night
that told me I was going to lose the fight.
