The morning stream, the morning stream, morning stream. The morning stream, it is the end of the beginning.

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It's Tuesday, April 11th, 2023. I'm Scott Johnson, and that is Brian, but good morning, Brian. Good morning to you. Morning. Morning. Morning. I had to talk to three new brianes yesterday. Oh my God, three brand new bryans. Yep, I got a commission I'm working on for somebody doing some art for somebody.

His name is Brian with a Y, but still, you know, pronounced Brian. Another Brian who's working, he's my accountant's, some sort of assistant role at my accountant's office. Had to deal with him for tax stuff. and then we had a Brian do our erration. Wow. Yeah. Look at the diversity of Brian. No kidding.

Oh, I can't wait to talk to these guys at the convention. It's going to be so cool to say, hey, I hear all three of you just worked with Scott in Utah. You're going to keynote at that thing? They say, oh, we know like 45 Scots. Tell me which one you're talking about. You should keynote at that event. You should be the hot Brian of the week. You know, being a Brian means different things to hold on a second.

It's not bad. It sounds like kind of a half-empty convention room. It's a very, this is kind of like, yeah, this is kind of bathroom, the bathroom one. I like it. All right. Thank you guys all for coming. Oh, I've been a larger bathroom now. Woo! Woo! Brian!

You know, being a Brian comes with it some very important responsibilities. Yeah, yeah. Preach. Preach it, Brian! I know some of you are waiting to go to the keynote session about with a, eye or with an eye. Don't worry. We'll wrap up before that. But, uh, show us your boobs.

I would say, I would yell from the 20th row. Yeah. Who would be the, like, you know, who would be the ideal keynote speaker at a Brian convention would be. Oh, man. Brian Dennyhy, Brian Brown, Brian. Well, they're both dead. We got to find, oh, they're all three

dead. Oh, yeah, he's dead too. Yeah. Oh, famous Brian Cranston. Oh, Brian Cranston is, uh, Yeah, yeah. He's good, too. Maybe not Brian Williams. Maybe not that one. Maybe not him.

Is he in trouble? I didn't know about him. Is he in trouble? Brian Williams? He did the whole lying thing that the news. I was on a helicopter news. Oh, something in the second Gulf War thing. It's why we have Lester Holt doing the NBC Nightly News now.

That's right. I think his Brian Williams' daughter's doing better than he is in the public eye. Brian Possein is a good on Brian Cox. Yeah, Brian Cox is good. He could talk about this new season of Succession. You could do... Sure, he cups like your knife, I hear. I just did...

I did a search for famous Bryans, and it gave me a list of famous Ryan's. That's stupid. Like, I got Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling, Ryan Seacrest. Like, Ryan Coogler. You know why? Because even the least famous Ryan is more famous than the most famous Brian sadly right now. The Ryans are always

oppressing the Bryans. Is that what you're saying? Listen, you got Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling. I mean, come on. Brian Crenstyn, I think, is our most famous Brian. And, you know, in the height of Breaking Bad, he could hold a candle to Ryan Reynolds. But sorry,

the Ryan Reynolds kind of is the shit right now. Yeah, and real quick, just to throw it out there, I screwed up. Brian Blessed is actually 86 in doing fine he's oh good thanks yeah i swear i heard he died kill brian blessed you know what i do i mix him up with oh it's alive that's the one i mix him up with uh with hagrid that guy that died uh robbie coltrane yeah for whatever reason those two are the same dude for me sometimes in my head and i don't know why um we got any theory on the oh brian may oh brian may is a very good

brian oh that's a good brian we got some more we're probably some good song or music bryans including Oh, heck yeah. Brian Eno, of course. Yeah, you got your, uh... Nobody said Brian Boitano. Interesting. All right, fine. Weird. Who's Brian Johnson? I don't know who that is. Brian Johnson. Uh, Brian Johnson. I know Ryan Johnson. Is it right? Am I thinking wrong? Isn't he? No, he's, um... Yeah, ACD.C.

Wait, is that right? Yeah, I checked his vocalist for ACDC. Oh, yeah, duh. Brian Johnson. Yeah. He's the like our show. Yeah. He's basically our show. It just sounded so, it sounded wrong. When you said that, I was like, am I, have I been getting his name wrong this whole time? No, it wasn't ringing a bell. Oh, there's also the life of Brian. It's not really a guy, though.

It's a character. It doesn't count, I guess. Well, anyway, hey, we have a new theory on the misdemeanor deal. Oh, good. Let's hear it. This is a text from Buffy Dino in our chat room. And it says this. It says, you're sort of dog spurt.

That's what she calls herself. I love it. Dog spurt. Which I had to read two, three times to understand what she meant by that. Yeah, because the whole sentence is, for a morning stream, hi there, it's Elizabeth, aka Bephe Dino for your, sorry, your frog pants sort of dog spurt, L-O-L. It's a weird sentence. And dog spurt, I thought, oh, this is how, this sounds gross. I would have spelled it D-O-G-X-E-R-T, dog spur.

Oh, I see. It's supposed to S-P-R-T, which is like, watch out. Don't step right there. There's some dog spurt. Yeah, you don't want. You don't want to, who's cleaning out the dog spurt? I didn't, it's not my turn. Anyway, says I have a theory about Mr. Meener.

What's your neighbor's pet's names? Maybe they were opening the door and they tried to get out and the person yelled Mr. Neiner or Mr. Meener. So they got an, I don't think that's it. I love the idea of a cat or a dog named Mr. Meener. Come on, Mr. Meener. Where's Mr. It's time to eat, Mr. Meener? That's middle of the night though, right? Because it was like two in the morning or something.

Yeah, it was in the morning. and they also have no pets, so I hate to crush this theory, but they have no pets over there. They're the ones that used to have the big fat dog that pooped in my yard all the time, but they no longer have that dog and no dog to speak of or cat.

Take dogs nor leave dogs. Yeah, they neither take dogs nor. We don't know what happened to that dog, but that was the impetus for our neighbor fight. Yeah, yeah, that was the, sure. Yeah, everything's fine now. It's all good now. Although that guy, dude, that guy in electric cars,

he's got two Teslas, maybe three. can't remember if he kept the coop or not he has one what's the beamer electric whatever that is that weird looking at the beamer and he has two Chevy volts and one

what was the other one maybe the new Hyundai something some other electric and it's just the two of them in the house right them and them and their two kids they have two little young kids and I imagine he's doing Turo I mean that sounds like that sounds like

someone who's renting all of those out. That's an interest. I hadn't thought of that. Because up till now, I just thought, what are you doing? I know he knows someone at a dealership and maybe just rotates through these. He also has a bunch of inheritance money.

He just sort of spends on stuff. It's all I know for sure. He opened like a gaming cafe right before COVID, and then that all pooped out because of COVID. Oh, that's too bad. God, wouldn't have been great if you could have like partnered up with him on that and had an event there.

well or just you know been like a co-owner of a gaming cafe oh i'd love that yeah it's a scott johnson thing right there but i don't know if me and me and tesla can be partners yeah no that would be after our history you know yes it'd have to be like you go to the office stay yep all right i'm staying home you know you never see them both at the same time and the same place no he has meetings with employees i have separate meetings with them we can't do it right exactly uh well Well, anyway, nice stab and an idea, but unfortunately, no dogs or cats. So the mystery goes unsolved. If anyone has any ideas, let us know.

We'd love to hear it. We got some calls as well. These are always good to get. I like these. We got a Galactus idea. Here you go. Hey, Scott and Brian, this is the message for TMS. This is Andy in Memphis, and I just wanted to throw in my vote for Galactus.

I think the best guy who could portray the purple giant is Hugo weaving. He's got a strong jaw. He can be menacing. He can be fierce. And I just think he would be really, really up for the task. So my vote would be for Hugo Weaving. I think you'd do great. Thanks, guys.

What do you think of that? What do you like about that? Well, I mean, I know we've had other minor characters who've played dual roles in the MCU, but Red Skull would be a pretty major one to be both Red Skull and Galactus. What I do like about that is that you can, could see the bottom half of Hugo Weaving's face and know it's Hugo Weaving, right? Because Galactus's whole, like, you know, you basically just see everything from the nose down. And it's an angle one like that, right? It's like a T.P. on his nose. I think so. I've got him, got him over there if you

want me to grab Galactus, and I can bring him over and show him to you. Grab Galactus. Want me to grab my Galactus? Yeah, grab Galactus, Brian. I want to see this. So I'm going to look him up too while you're doing that. Let's see here. Galactus headgear looks a little like. oh that's not him that's galasius that's not him at all all all right here we're a little dusty because he's been sitting on top of the uh the deal but yeah he's uh oh yeah okay this is a big big ass uh this is a build a figure thing that is what what is so if you held that you need the really tiny tiny little mccars around him right because that's got you have to show the difference here's galactus with howard the duck oh perfect

Perfect. Oh, the crossover I've been waiting for. Fantastic. Who hasn't been waiting for that? Yeah. But anyway, yeah, Hugo weaving is good. I mean, really, I mean, Steve Bishemi could pull off Galactus because, again, you're only seeing like a little bit in his face. That's true, dude.

So is that where we focus is that little section there? And then voice obviously matters. So you want to have the menacing thing. They can do anything with the voice and CGI and stuff. I mean, Chris Eccleston relatively vocally unrecognizable in Thor Dark World. It wasn't until somebody reminded me, like, oh, yeah, that is Chris Eccleston. Yeah, we were in the face. It was when we were watching it Saturday or, yeah, it's Friday and you were like, oh, my gosh, that's Chris Eccleston.

I was like, I couldn't tell until you said it. Like, he really did disappear into that role pretty well. He really did. But, you know, they can do stuff with the voice to make it somebody else. No, no, no. I mean, it really, Galactus could easily be a no-name actor that they bring in. When they always show him grabbing a world or standing above a world or whatever, where's he standing? Is he floating out there? He just floats in space, but he floats in an upright position like he's, yeah. He does, he has been shown to be standing on platforms, like a platform that, like a super Kirby-esque pipes. coming out of everything platform that he flies through space on but and is he a kirby creation

did he make him yeah oh yeah i'm pretty sure had to be right because he looks like it 90 90% sure that he's uh sam neal's not bad sam neal would be a good oh yeah i could go for sam neal oh john sina maybe and that world eater's name yeah i don't know if i could take him as serious as john Sina, though, you know? Yeah, that's true. You almost can't have a comedian. You couldn't have, like, Jack Black as Galactus. Yeah.

Oh, hey, guys, I'm going to be eating your planet. I'm going to be eating your planet. Exactly. I want to know if, you know, if we hadn't already used him and had such an amazing Thanos run, I think Josh Brolin can do it. Yeah, we've used him as cable as well, which with all that stuff, with Deadpool stuff folding into the MCU now. Oh, right.

that's good point didn't who who did it it was some totally different dude who played red skull and uh end game right that was the it's the guy who is in um the walking dead who does amazing impersonations of other people he's uh um oh god what was his he's this guy is like you got to watch videos of this guy doing impersonations of other actors that he's worked with yeah um are you looking him up i'm trying i'm not seeing him he can he can do anybody basically he can do anybody

ross mark one thank you yes gotcha oh i just found it you know who i wanted okay i've cast i've cast uh galactus so you're ready here it is all right it's mark strong it was always mark strong it'll always be mark strong that's your guy well not bad got that big cool deep voice amazing square jaw strong big beefy he's got a um uh english accent natural to him like just Mark Strong, you're done, you got it. Not bad. Yeah, not bad. I like Mark Strong. It's a great idea. Yeah, he's awesome. I would love that. Oh, apparently I'm not alone. I just looked like Mark Strong Galactus and there's all kind

of fan. A lot of people already saying that. That's great. Oh, man, I was hoping I had a good idea there. Yeah, he does the voice of the Immortal and Rudy in the Invincible animated series. By the way, we should be getting some more of that here pretty soon, right? That should be soon. I think so. Season two was being worked on. I would hope so. The voice of Ultron in Dr. Strange and the multiverse of madness? Oh.

I'm trying to remember Ultron and the, oh, you see him in the, um, the alternate universe, uh, you know, uh, thinking, like basically talking about defeats in alter in other universes or something. And he was there and was his, I don't remember him talking though. I guess maybe it must have been a, I don't either. Something small. Yeah, I don't remember. Yeah, talking about the Illuminati and stuff. Is anyone not in the MCU? They're all in.

You know? Yeah, I mean, there's a lot that need to be. I mean, there's a lot that are. But, I mean, you think of like Liam Neeson and, yeah, no, yeah, yeah, Liam Neeson? Yeah. Star Wars, DCU, but no MCU yet, right? I don't think so unless he did a voice of something or maybe he has in a cartoon. But like live action, I can't think of anybody.

You're not going to have Terrence Howard do it, Max Trollbox. Terence Howard got fired by the MCU. He's not coming back. He's done. Former roadie Terrence Howard. Yeah. And I like Terrence Howard as an actor. I just think he was a debutante and got kicked out for good reasons.

Right. Ooh, Mark Strong's in the new upcoming Dune TV show? Channing Tatum. Oh, you guys, is a terrible idea. No Channing Tatum. Although, you know what? He's kind of a, you know what, he'd be good. He'd be good as a Sentinel.

Because they're kind of blank-faced, big block. he just jar head. Yeah, but you never see a Sentinel's face. It's not like they're huge dudes wearing Sentinel costumes. Those are 100% CGI. Yeah, of course, of course. But it would be like in the same in the same way that Thanos is, you know, resembles Josh Brolin. You'd have it kind of look, you know, be mo-capped by those, those that want me to grab my Sentinel now, Scott? Yeah, grab me a Sentinel, yeah. What do you got over there?

Sentinel. Uh, okay, I'm looking at one. I mean, I don't know. You could do this. Oh, yeah, they're like Iron Men, basically. They're like Iron Man, aren't they? They have, like, metal faces. Yeah, they have metal faces.

Oh, yeah, that one's a cool one. Yeah. He's flipping everybody off, too. Or did you get that guy? He's awesome. He's another Build a Fig. Early days of Build a Fig had big figures you could build. Like, now the build of figs are,

are probably about half this size and warlock and stuff like this. But yeah, Galactus and the Sentinel were the two huge build of figs. Interesting. Yeah, no Channing Tatum. You don't need him for that. You don't need any actors for

for Sentinels. No. Is there a Sentinel that's like, ooh, King Sentinel, guy who's... Master mold. Oh, is that a thing? Yeah, still a robot, though. Right. And we had Dinklage as a, um,

Tresk, the creator of the Oh, and we had said that before. Like, he would be, he could, it would be funny to do it, but that would be twice now that they tried to be funny with a little person being a giant person. Oh, yes, having, having, right, uh, dinklage is a galactus or has. Yeah, you can't do that twice.

This is master of old or something, yeah. Yeah, you do that twice. You're starting to look like you got one joke to make. And it's not the best joke, I guess. All right. We got a, uh, another, uh, call here about, Well, it's about itching. So let's check this out.

Hey, Scott, I keep forgetting to call. But a few weeks ago, you mentioned you have a patch of skin that from time to time, it's just like crazy. You said your doctors have said that there's nothing that can be done about it. Have you tried hydrocoders on cream? I'm surprised no one has recommended it. It's readily available in pharmacies. I always have it in my medicine cabinet for just the thing you're talking about.

It's over-the-counter strength is 1%. There used to be a 2% available with prescriptions. You should try it. Again, the hydrochor of cortisone spring. Love the show, though. Terry Z and Chicago. All right. I have, Terry Lee, I have that stuff.

But the problem is, I thought that was only for, was he say Z? What did I say Lee? Yeah, Terry Z said Lee. Terry Lee. Oh, I couldn't tell. The patch of skin that we're talking about does not turn red or get puffy or have any visible sign of anything. And I thought that stuff only worked on like rashes and stuff.

But maybe, maybe I should try it. I just have this one place on my calf. It's not doing it today. but this like in such an intense itch and I've tried everything lotion I mean whatever it doesn't matter the only thing that seems to solve is if I itch it a lot

and then it'll go away and I won't have it for a month and then it'll come back but never any visible anything it's just like a sensation so if he's saying that stuff will work on you know if that cream will work have a visible skin skin issue yeah I'll try that I just didn't think about it

Because normally, I've used that before on like real rashes and stuff or like an erlogic reaction to something or whatever, but I didn't know that. Yeah, I think it should. It should work just like it does on puffy red, you know, inflamed skin because it's basically just soothing and I don't know what it's doing the skin, honestly. I don't either. Skin's weird, man. Skin's weird. Skin's weird. If only science understood skin, you just don't.

Science has no idea what's going. Can we get our heads around skin, science? It's a mystery. The next big project. I was going to ask you. Live on the show, because, you know, that's a great place for doing this. Sure. Any luck getting cup of noodles, maple syrup, bacon, eggs.

Oh, shit. No. Okay. So I'm glad you said that because I kind of forgot to have Kim follow up. But she's going out today to ship a bunch of stuff for me, and I'm going to have her do a check again. Yeah, just pull up the Walmart list. And, you know, you can, you just basically pull up that item and then just keep changing your store until it shows available for pickup. And then you can order it, pull up into one of their pickup spots and have somebody deliver a $1.99 cup noodles to your car.

That's right. That's right. Well, a big question mark above their head. Yeah. Why are you doing this? They look like a quest giver in World of Warcraft by the time you're done. Exactly. Because, listen, I've got this one sitting up on my countertop waiting for me to consume it.

And I want to consume it. Yeah, I want to, we got to do this before we go to Vegas. We have to at least digest this once and never have it happen again, you know. Well, I bought, I bought five and gave one to Tristan, so I'm going to be at least consuming four of these, unless it's so horrendous that I throw the other four out. That's maybe going to happen. We'll see. Maybe it'll be great. I don't know.

Yeah, we have no idea. Katie Data says he's got one there for you. Yeah, he does. So we have to just hook up with him as my backup plan. And I talked to Kim about that. Like, if we can't find this, then we'll just meet up. Yeah, I'm going to do it. I just didn't want him to go through too much work, you know.

I don't like to be a drag. I know, I know. I don't like to be a drag. He's happy to do it because he'll be on the show. He'll be able to like watch the show and say, hey, I made that happen. Yeah. It's content. It's content.

Speaking of the itch, I'm sure that after all this talk about creams and whatnot, uh, Dr. Jerry Tolbert will say something after the show on our discord and fill us in on what's up. Yeah, I like that. I like that too. Okay. Time for some of this here, news that I've provided. it's time for that news and it's brought to you by a mouth full of nets i went on a brief uh walk jog with my dog walk jog with my dog a walk with your dog and there's these nat things flowing around this time of year

it's always like right around the first touch of spring and uh i ran through a cloud of them got a big mouthful and uh yeah i mean that no side effects or anything that you know no side effects or anything weird, but all the damn time and I hate it. It's gross, right? It's not, it's not what you asked for. And I realize, you know, we're consuming all sorts of microship we don't see every day. Like, I'm probably just breathe one in now and don't even know it.

But when you can see them and you know that they have a presence in your mouth, it's awful. It's terrible. Yes. Yeah, it's, and it's, when you're on a bike and you're going 15, 20 miles an hour and you see this cloud and there's zero that you can do other than close your, like you basically just close

your face. You just go, wait for all the rickshake little Beep, peep, peep, peep, peop, peop, beo. Try not to breathe in. Try not to, you know, have your mouth open, but I did. And it didn't taste like anything, but it made me want to die. So there's that. Yeah, protein.

That's right. It tasted like protein. Yeah. All right. Here's an interesting bit of news. Everybody's been talking about, you know, is Donald Trump the first president to have, to be indicted? you know, by a federal court. And the answer is yes.

However, did a little diggin. Ulysses S. Grant, former president of the United States, President Grant, General Grant, and the great civil war of this country, was arrested for speeding on a horse-drawn carriage. Oh, that son of a bitch. I know. What a dark day in American history.

That must have been. I can speed on a horse-drawn carriage. horse-drawn carriage through the center of the city and nobody could do anything about it. Well, he had kind of an ad-he, he had sort of a reputation for this. Did he really? Yeah. So this Manhattan Grand Jury thing that's going on with Trump right now, it's unprecedented stuff for sure. But he's not the first command and chief to learn that no one in the country is above the law.

1872, President Ulysses S. Grant was arrested for speeding on his horse. drawn carriage in Washington, D.C., which was highlighted by the Washington Post way back in 2018. They brought that up again when he was doing the impeachment stuff. Grant still faced some stuff. It wasn't impeachable what he did, but he faced consequences, okay? It was a witch hunt, Scott, back in a time when we actually had witch hunts. Yeah, we were horrible, horrible.

Yeah, real witches then. Anyway, the general who helped lead the Union to victory in the Civil War was arrested on the corner of 13th in M Streets in the National Capitol, or M Street, I assume. The story of his arrest was once told in the September 27th, 1908 edition of the Washington Evening Star with the headline, Only Policeman, Whoever Arrested a President? Then they interviewed the cop. Let's see, the police officer who arrested him was a black man who fought in the Civil War named William H. West, who gave him. his account of the incident to the star, which the post then dug up. Grant apparently had a pension for speeding and a love for fast horses

and had more than one run in with Officer West. Wow. Well, you know, some of us have proclivities. You know, I don't know who I'm talking about here, but somebody out there may just like put their pedal to the metal because they really enjoy the sensation of speed. Sure. Doesn't make him a bad person, just makes them a, you know,

know what's the horse equivalent putting the whip to the to the main did they have a I wonder if there was a is there is there a saying for that let's think here what would you say man he was he really put the I mean all you can think of is the the whip the horse truck carriage I guess the spurs to the whip to the horse and was flying he was did they sperm least 25 miles an hour down that street early 1900 they were still spur horses, right? They had spurs on their shoes and boots, I think. So maybe that's it.

Oh, yeah, but that's if you're on a horse with not a carriage. Oh, right, that's a single horse. Right. Right, right, right. Can't go out there and kick him with spurs. Well, if you like icorrs, though, put the spurs to the furs. If he was just sitting on a horse and not in a carriage, put the spurs to the furs is really good. That's not bad.

Yeah, that's pretty good. Yes. I feel the need to go 25 miles an hour down the busiest street in town on my horse-drawn carriage. Yeah, the mad, or the magnet, no, the fast and the spurious. Ah, see what we did there? Oh, there you go, the spurious. Yeah, not bad. All right.

Anyway, so that's the thing. Just remember, there's always some cool history about something you don't know about, and that was one I knew or didn't know. Sure. Until today. Here's a fun one. A man faces charges after stealing a school bus, which led to police chasing him in a multi-county chase. people have reported this here where is this Fox 43 and is this Florida I think so

Abbottstown where is Abbottstown yeah the York County Carol Township Police Department all right I'm going to just go right to the article probably it's probably the only way it's the only way to be sure Brian it's the only way Harrisburg Pennsylvania Harrisburg okay oh and also there's Gettysburg that would have been a giveaway anyway police have a arrested a man who allegedly stole a bus in Adams County before leading authorities on this chase. Tony Saunders, age 24, why they always ride around 24 to 28? What's it going on with that right now? Aren't they all? They're all like this. This newest shooter? Wasn't he right around that? What are you all doing? I don't know. I can't remember. Yeah, he was young 25, I think, yeah. Yeah, why are you guys all? What's the problem? Are you guys okay? Are they are all 20-somethings just angry men, you know?

Yeah, I think so. I'm worried about that. I got my outside camera and a big cherry picker vehicle just pulled in front of our house and they are looking at our tree. So it looks like Tina arranged to have some, can you come over and cut some branches off our tree? Yeah. Can you trim our tree? And they were more than happy to oblige.

They're happy to come to our tree. Yeah, cones all in front of our house. Look at this business. Oh, Brian, this is a big deal. You better wrap up before 11 because I have to back out. of my garage and their vehicle is completely blocking the driveway. What if they take your whole tree? What will you do then? How will you feel? I'll sit and watch this because I'm too busy doing a show to do any damn thing about it.

That's right. Tina, this is your chance. Have all the things done. Brian can't do anything about while he's on the show. I'll lay down in front of their cherry picker, but that probably won't work because it'll be way above where I'm at. I can't, I can't, I'll be a political hero for decades if you lay down in front of it. I love that. Um, well, anyway, this guy stole a Lincoln coach line. Wait, wait, I'm sorry. Yeah, Lincoln coach lines bus. There were no kids on the bus.

There were neither kids, neither took kids nor left kids on the bus. Yeah. Um, this is reported by the state police in Gettysburg, uh, where they made an address, I suppose, about the situation at the Gettysburg address. Uh, I see what you're saying. Yeah. I see where you went with that. Did you see where I went there? Uh, in the early morning hours of Tuesday.

and be on the lookout has been sent to law enforcement agencies all around the counties. The Carroll Township Police spotted the stolen bus shortly after 8 a.m. After it drove through a parking lot of a giant foods and right aid. I don't know why that's important, but that seems like a weird detail, doesn't it? Yeah. Here are the stores that we're in the parking lot. The CVS parking lot is way more, like too many parking blocks and medians and stuff to get through the CVS. But the right aid, wide open.

Sure. See, not only is it a felony because it's a, vehicle, it's a vehicle, but the new part, you add to it now, were there any children inside, says the police. Of course. Did the mail stop to pick up? It's just the dumbest vehicle to try and steal. Yeah, why would you do this giant yellow thing?

It's the most lumbering, you know, you're going to be, oh, leading people on a medium-speed chase through the city, through Gettysburg. Yeah, I'd like to do a real low-key robbery. Should I take a giant yellow bus that's bigger than most trucks? Sure. You can't hide it behind a. you know hide it behind a building or something it's very obvious it's very large it's big and it's yellow when i was young i wanted to have a bus so bad i wanted a big giant school bus yeah because i

wanted to like a live in kind of like drive of places live in it oh yeah and i wanted to clear everything out of it so like gut it and then put like a hot tub in the middle of it and then like cushy stuff all around and just make it all customed out and like you know cool lights in there and everything. I had all these ideas. 3,000 lights? Yeah, 3,000 lights. I had to collect them all first. 84 is my collection here.

But yeah, that never fruitioned probably because where are you going to find a bus like that? Yeah, I don't know. Like the Partridge family business. Would you paint Mondrian artwork on the side? I mean, I would probably, we would have probably if I had my way,

it would be like, oh, I'm going to do crazy murals on the outside. We're going to paint it do like custom van type airbrush crap is probably what i wanted at the time probably not now but but then i never with the thing i never thought about is those things are probably a nightmare on maintenance probably a total pain in the ass right i'm sure yeah like they break their freaking diesel i think yeah um i don't think i want that now but yeah you're you're better off just getting to winnebago yeah or you know even better it's like that new vw evbuss i want that Oh, I haven't seen it.

Have you not seen that? No. Brian, you got to see this. Evie Bus. Think of all the people that are the ID Buzz. Is that what it's called? There it is right there, yes. I love it.

It's weird looking. Oh, it's just the, oh, wow, look at that. Oh, I like the white and green version. That's actually kind of cool. I know. I would drive the hell out of that. Oh, no, it is the ID Buzz. ID Buzz?

I hate that name. I do buzz. Yeah. I changed my mind. Think of all the people I could lift in that. Look at that thing, though. I think that is a sexy hot car. That's, uh...

I would drive the shit out of that. Yeah. No problem. I do like the fact that it, you know, it looks, it's a, it's a more aerodynamic version of the, you know, the Hurley driving it down the mountain and lost from the golf course playing Shambola on the radio. Oh, I forgot all about that and that. You're right. One of my favorite episodes of that show. When they find what's his face is dad,

the mummified remains of Michael Emerson's dad. And they start playing the tape deck as Shambola going on it. Is it just me or should I be getting, I'm getting direct lost, like rated R lost vibes out of Yellow Jackets so far. Oh. It feels like lost to me. Because you got flashbacks, flash forwards, you got the, whatever. For sure.

Yeah. Yep, there's a little bit of potential supernatural component going on. Yeah, I'm totally getting lost vibes from it in a good way. Secret factions and the others and, yeah, sure. No, no polar bear yet, but who knows? Oh, it's coming. That's not really coming. It's a shame.

Anyway, don't steal buses, I guess, is our lesson today. Don't take them or steal them or do anything with them. Yeah. Magic Johnson in days. Don't take nor leave buses. Yeah, take nor leave buses. magic johnshin johnson johnson yep that's the name that should be hard for you to pronounce yeah it's a rough one for me shares his wellness routine and this is a guy don't forget this this this is a

fellow what gots the hiv that's right and he's held it at bay for what 30 years now years yeah decades yeah i think at least 30 years he says i wake up at four o'clock every morning brian this guy's this is oh he me and me and magic look at all right good deal he does it it sounds like he he does it with an alarm clock. I do it with my eyes. Yeah, your eyeballs. Like, what did you get up? What happened today?

What time did you get up at six? But I did, uh, I was awake from one until 215. Damn. What'd you do during that time? I watched, uh, I watched, uh, two more episodes of a show that, uh, that I don't even know why I'm watching because I'm interested in how it turns out. And I may, I may, I'm not going to say too much because I'm, might end up using it for

recommendals. I have one episode left, and I'm curious how they wind up a show where the two main characters, I just don't like at all. Really? But I don't think you're supposed to like the two main characters.

Guess what this is, and I can't think what it is. It is brand new, less than been out for less than a week. I know what it is. I'll bet it starts with a bean ends of the nests of an F. It does, yeah. And I've also mentioned it in our recommendals planning discussion. Oh, I didn't know if you talked about it.

My son, Nick, is raving about this and telling me I need to watch it. 99%, 99 slash 92 on Rotten Tomatoes. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's all the talk these days. I'm not even a big, I don't, well, let's say I'm the person whose initials are AW. Yeah. I only can take that person in small doses.

usually, like with the comedy side of it. I'm so 100% with you. Yes. And I don't know why that is. I feel like she's kind of a little bit of an over-actress. Yeah. And then the other initials, the S-Y, I could watch change tires. He can do no wrong for, yeah. Yeah, that sounds like he plays a character you're not going to love.

We can, we've said so much. I might as well say, it's Ali Wong and Stephen Yun, and the show's called beef. It's called beef. I'm not sure I'm going to recommend to it. I want to see, I need to see the last episode. If only I could stay awake for what more episodes got, I could have decided, but, I mean, here's a clip from it. I'll just play this.

I smell like beef. Yeah. Yeah, that's, that's, man, a little bit of a spoiler, because that's like in the fifth episode, you finally get the revelation. I know. It feels like that, yeah, this is. For the first four episodes, you're wondering, man, who smells like beef? Like, what the big mystery of this TV show is who smells like beef?

And then finally, it's revealed. in the fifth episode. That's right. It took a long time, but we got there. We got there. Beef stick. Beef stick. Yep. Beef stick. That's where it all ends. Anyway, so Magic Johnson says, he wakes up at four. He loves the morning when it's just still and quiet. He has an hour or two to himself, right? He likes to just chill out. He says he gets moving. He stretches. Then he lifts weights for an hour. I do cardio for another hour. Stationary biker treadmill. And then I'm off to the office all day. You know, the Magic Johnson. office is where he go. Yeah, right. Exactly.

Equally disciplined to bedtime, 8 or 8.30 p.m. Unless the Lakers are unless the Lakers are playing, he says. I guess he's still a fan. Yeah. He says to taking, or in addition to taking his own health seriously, Johnson, age 63,

has been a public advocate for nearly 30 years. These days, his focus is on older adults. He's partnered with GSK to launch sideline RSV, a new health education program to help older adults become or to better understand the risk and potential seriousness of RSV infection and how to help protect themselves.

That's usually the thing you hear about with kids and babies, but adults can get it. Respiratory virus. I mean, geez, if I had time to do two hours of weightlifting and cardio in the morning, I guess if I do wake up at four, then I do have two hours.

And I can do a lot of that while I'm watching whatever show that I'm normally watching just sitting on the couch. So there's something. Yeah, there's something. I don't know if I could do the 830. sleep thing, but I... No, do you want to bed that early? But I guess if you're always getting up at 4, you'd adjust, I suppose.

You'd get used to it. I don't know. You'd think, Scott, but no. I'm just trying to do the windy thing where I go to bed with no screen time, no nothing. Like, it's hard for me to remember to do that, you know? Because I'll get in there, go. It's hard for me to want to do that. Yeah, want to and yes, remember and want to. It's hard because here's a period of time where I get to read my book.

catch up on the thing I want to see or whatever and so you'd say well Scott get a real book and read the paper you know I don't know that that's really gonna make

that big a difference for me I understand not sitting there scrolling through TikTok for three hours that makes sense that that isn't good for me before bed but reading a little book I don't know

I argue with myself every night about what to do I'd rather try and change change my brain to love and and rely on some blue light and some Hulu, Netflix, Disney Plus, whatever, for about half an hour before it's time to go to sleep. Yeah, well, it's too bad that there aren't, some study doesn't say, it's good for humans to stare at their phone for an hour. If you really work hard and do this for two years straight, your brain will actually work for it.

And it'll, yeah. Yeah, listen, I have no problem falling asleep. And I don't think the blue light is what wakes me up before. o'clock in the morning, or in this case, 12.30 in the morning. You just got like an internal clock thing, right? It just happens. Yeah. Yeah.

I think everybody's got some version of that. It's more likely that, you know, I'm having caffeine at the wrong time of day or I'm not doing a good job of clearing my mind with writing down all my to-does so that when I wake up and say, oh, you know what I could do for this is, you know, install this thing. or add this thing and um that's what i just need to not think about it you know that's you basically describe me i can't turn my brain off just really hard for me to shut things down and uh and if i have to get up and pee i dread it so i try to pee as many times i need to before i go to bed because if i'm if i have to get up and pee yeah that's when i my brain goes brr and i can't go back to sleep exactly exactly stupid pee stupid brain stupid brain pee all right we're going to take a break When we come back from this break, we're going to spend a little bit of time with our two favorite Tuesday people.

I don't know why. Oh, I'm on the wrong tab. That's why. We have Bill. Then we have Bobby. So come around for that. But before we do, song. Brian, song, you have song.

Yeah. So I'm already a fan of the band Dawes, D-A-W-E-S, because I think they're great. And they've turned out some very likable, enjoyable stuff. Good pop that is indie and does and. it go into extremes one way or the other to just kind of make it, you know, it's your vampire weekend. It's your easy, easy to get into pop. Lee Pardini, who is an acclaimed pianist, saying it very carefully, joining Daz for a collaborative single that just came out. This is a song that was composed by Pardini and features original

lyrics by Taylor Goldsmith of Daz. The song is called What It Takes. Here is the brand new song from Lee Pardini and Dawes. If you look out of the skyline From far enough away The city's just a row of broken teeth It's rumbling and it's growling It fosters and decays But I still hear it calling out for me

I thought my debts were settled Some rules have been enforced As a beat of sweat starts rolling down my cheek I was good at treating symptoms But I never found a source So these voices might not ever let me be I know I'm never gonna break If I can find you at the end of every day

They'll say I don't have what it takes I just won't let go up What it takes away What it takes away I could have been a contender, but I bound a bit too bright, until I couldn't take another swing. I kept up with the training, giving up the fight,

and now I'm being forced back in the rain. I know I'm never gonna break, If I can find you back the end of every day I'll say I don't have what it takes I just won't let go of what it takes away What it takes away What it takes away

What it takes away What it takes away away We're going to be able to be. We're going to be able to be. Are you a Mexican or a Mexicant? You are Fritz Kruger, wealthy Ecuadorian rancher. The morning stream.

Well, of course, I am the supreme being. I'm not entirely dim. Do tell me who that was again. Hi, that was Lee Pardini, joining forces with L.A. Rockers, Daws, for a brand new single called What It Takes. Wow, that's great.

Yeah. It is what it takes. Very good. You know, the Aces, the local band here that I like so much? Yeah, I like them. Do they have something new? They got a brand new album coming out. It's not out yet.

I don't think we even have singles yet, but I'm pretty excited about it. I think it's June or May. I'm not sure. Sure. Awesome. We'll get a song here on the show as soon as it's out because they're, they work with one of my PR agencies. Oh, no way. That's perfect then. Yeah. That's how I heard the 801 for the first time. It was right here on the show. That song's like an anthem around here. We freaking love it. I bet it is. Yeah, I'm sure. Check this out, y'all. There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill? Oh, look, it's Bill Duran joining us from the Pacific Northwest and all things punished props. Bill, welcome back to the show. How the heck are you?

good morning friends i'm doing great oh that's good to hear that's good to hear before before you get into stuff have you have you seen the most recent episode of mandolorean no i haven't yet okay if you are anything like me or maybe it's reverse if i'm anything like you then once you watch it you're going to have an idea for about a half dozen things that you want to build that you want to make uh really i want to know now i haven't watched this season at all so I'm going to have to binge. We're like two left, right, Zahl? It's like, yes.

Okay. Yes. I'm way behind it. And I really enjoy that episode, and man, is it divided online about people who loved it and hated it? But I really enjoyed it. Oh, is just the Lizzoa Black thing? It is. Yeah.

Yeah. And that didn't pull me out of it at all. I don't know why people are such a problem with it. You're saying, though, there's lots of good. There's some interesting new tech things that it's like, oh, I kind of want that security droid thing. I want to make that or, you know. You could 3D print Lizzo's head gear that she was wearing. You know, it's pretty cool.

It's like covered with constellations and stuff. It's actually not a bad thing. Like, I can actually see that being a popular 3D print as well. Yeah. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, it's one of my favorite things, watching something that's fun and going, ooh, I want to make that. Oh, I want to make that too.

Yeah, for sure. Well, so I got to catch up. I'm behind bad. I'll be doing that. Well, it's good to have you here, Bill. What's going on this week? You know, you've been home. You let the smell of fish waft away.

You're good now. What do you got going on? I made a hammer. I made a cool hammer. Aren't those readily available to purchase, though, really? They are, but I thought, what if I spent way more time and money on it? So, there's a story. I have a, my wedding ring is something I made.

It's a pewter ring that I cast myself. And it's getting on. six years old since I been six years since I made it and pewter's a pretty soft metal so it gets scratched up I have to polish it from time to time but also it was no longer round

like very not round anymore and I bought a ring mandrel to reshape it basically a tapered tube with different the numbers on it represent the sizing on it and you're able to

slide the ring on to this tapered tube, and then you can bong it with a hammer, just sort of reshape it. But you don't want a metal hammer. You want a soft hammer. And yes, on Amazon, they sell kits that include the mandrel and a nice hammer with a plastic end on it. But that's not what I wanted. I wanted my own hammer.

I wanted my own experience. Sure. So I made my own. Oh, no way. I also happen to have everything I needed anyway. So, yeah, you walk into your little space and you're like, gosh, I'm missing a thing. Maybe I could just cobble these four things together and bam, you have it. That's just your life now.

It's such the McGiver, uh, Begiverer route. Have you posted photos of the hammer anywhere? I'm looking at your Twitter and Facebook. Yeah, on Twitter last week, I posted photos of it. I'm seeing all the butterfly, but I had not found the hammer. Well, so the most of the hammer, the head of the hammer anyway, is made out of brass. I had about an inch diameter, I think, rod of brass that I had made it from. And I did most of that work on the lathe. And I did some fun stuff to challenge myself. The hammer has some

tapered cuts on it. So I had to do some tapered cuts on the lathe, which is something I don't have a lot of experience doing. And there are little parts on the lathe that are like a rounded, like a radius indent. And I had to make a custom tool for that. I had to use my grinder and a piece of high-speed steel to make a form-cutting tool, and I've never done that before. So I'm really happy with how that turned out. It's a really fun challenge. What were the challenges in doing such a thing? I'm trying to think what that would be, and I can't think of it. So it's a, the high-speed steel blank is just a quarter-inch, about two-inch-long piece of metal, and you have to grind away the tip of it until it makes the shape that you want. And you also have to

grind clearance under it for allowing it to interact with the geometry of the lathe and all that. There's a set of things you got to do to make sure that it works correctly. And it did. So I'm really happy with that. Hey, you should be happy. It looks awesome. Is that, is that tip of that? That hammer you're using with the blunt tip, kind of plastic-y-looking rubber tip? Is the top part brass? Is that what that is? Oh, that's awesome. Look at that there. So the, most of the head of the hammer is brass, but then the other side of it is made out of plastic. So I made that also on the lathe, and I was able to press it into the brass. So the brass had a hollow I cut into it, and the plastic had a protrusion that were what's called an interference fit.

They just fit, but not quite, and I was able to use my arbor press to press them together. So there's no glue in there. It's held in completely by friction, which I thought was pretty cool. That is cool. That thing looks awesome. That's going to be, man, one of these days. When you're, you know, old and dead, you're, all your, like, your nephews and nieces and stuff, everybody in your life's going to have the coolest, like, crap to, like, split up and hang on their walls and stuff from, you know what I mean?

There's something needed about having, like, a custom, what's the word, bespoke, um, heirloom quality tool, right? Right. Like, this is, this hopefully is going to last longer than I am and someone else will get it and remember. every time I swing it. So once I'm done with it, I still have a lot of use to get out of it. Yeah. That's neat. I'm getting more and more things like that in my shop.

I do still have a lot of tools that are like cheapo tools I bought from Harbor Freight or Amazon. And what I've been doing is if I've had people over that need tools, I've been giving them away. And then I will replace it with something cooler. You know, especially if it's Harbor Freight. Harbor Freight is the destination of disposable tools. It really is. Yeah. Here's an air pump.

Great. I'm going to use it for a week and I can really just throw it away because I spent $4 on it. Oh, yeah, yeah. Or airbrushes. I met a couple that they did face painting at conventions. Yeah. And they brought, they did not bring a compressor. They brought compressed air in like a scuba tank.

Oh. And then they bought like 50 of the cheapest airbrushes you can get. at Harbor Freight and each one was for a different color and if it got clogged they just threw it away and brought up got a new one heck yeah and they still probably spent less than a hundred bucks absolutely yeah they probably spent less than I have an airbrush I've spent no kidding oh that's hilarious so when you say their airbrushes are cheap how cheap like super cheap like if I go there can I get them for like 10 bucks really that is cheap 12 1499 or something it's really cheap that's crazy yeah all right wow

oh yeah look at that airbrush kits on their website oh my gosh this my parents wouldn't have been so cheap if they'd gone to harbor freight back when i was in high school they were like so cheap all they bought me was the airbrush some inks and the tubing but they were too cheap to get me the compressor because they were like well we'll have to get that at a different time well then this is useless to me mom i can't freaking use the damn thing what do you expect me to blow in a consistent stream of air at the other end of the tube i was so annoyed by that back then but this stuff it's not bad it's cheap airbrush Impressor kit, $89. Where are the airbrushes? Airbrush cleaning bottle. Anyway, cheap. You can get the cleaning kits for like five bucks. Yeah. I kind of like that $10 airbrush holder,

because I can use that for a lot of, holding a lot of different things that are not airbrushes. Yeah, I need to go. I still have never been foot in a harbor freight. I need to go. Oh, man. I know. The smell is great.

Yeah. Such a good smell. We have one here. I don't know why I haven't gone in, but I just need to go in. It'll be like, you know what? Here's what I'm going to do. Next time Kim drags me to Zimms or some kind of nightmare craft store that I don't want to be in

where it's a lot of foam shapes and bullshit, I'm going to tell her, all right, when we're done here, when we're done at Roberts, it's over to the Harbor Freight with you. It's over to Harbor Freight. Yeah, I bought a couple saw horses at Harbor Freight for probably, I think the pair for 15 bucks. And got home, opened the hatchback, took the saw horses out, leaned them up again. to the side of my car and as I was closing the hatch they fell over and shattered into eight pieces. Damn.

That's a Harbor Freight guarantee right there. Exactly, yeah. Guaranteed to make it home. Wow. Wow. That's not good. Well, this is really, it's really cool, dude. Tooling your own tools. Seems like a new theme over there for you. You're not going to find a hammer like this at a Harbor Freight. I used figured maple for the handle. So it's very pretty.

That handle is gorgeous. Yeah, it's really nice. Just thinking about it, it's kind of funny to bring this up because I am making something that I'm going to use as a tool for something else and designing it on the 3D printer. So I'm totally, you know, this is a good time to talk about it. So it's not something I can talk about because it's going to be in Vegas. But we're going to see you in Britt there in Vegas?

Oh, wouldn't that be nice? It'd be so nice. You know, funny you should mention. that that's in a couple weeks right yeah yeah i should i should make it out to that i don't know if it'll make it out but um i'm here right now having not done any work or ordered any hotels or flights go telling you that i'll be there if you're somehow there we would of course celebrate that and enjoy the hell out of your company oh my god yes but no pressure we don't want you to feel any undue pressure but if you did we'd all be thrilled out of our minds so it's up to you yeah it's entirely up to you

all right you've convinced me i'll go all right he's in Vegas yeah here you're that everybody sweet uh bill red i need to order flight get some killer deals out there um you always bring a little extra bonus linky thing today do you have one today i do yeah so another restoration video i've been watched you guys are talking about going to sleep it at night watch some restoration videos right before bed that'll help out this one is a singer sewing machine restoration and it looks like they pulled it out of a swamp it looks like it's in really bad shape but they this is natural restoration i haven't watched them before so the new one for me and they do a bang up job on this sewing machine oh my gosh look at that thing that thing is

horrendous they get it out of the titanic or something my gosh that's what it looks like yeah totally does wow that's amazing more rust than sewing machine don't show this my my daughter carter would lose her mind she would love this because she loves old sewing machines even though she never use them probably although that's not true so i was thinking to you the other day her and her two friends her best friends from high school they stayed close and go out and they hang out all the time mostly watching anime and drawing and they're all artists and stuff like that anyway they're going to london comic con in september i think it is oh cool um and they're right now in the middle of like deciding all the cosplay stuff ideas they've got and they're buying parts and pieces and

doing some sewing and all of that and i thought of you while they were getting ready oh awesome And I know quite a few people in the London-based cosplay scene. It's a good group of people. I've been to London Super Comic-com before, and it was really fun. They're very excited about it, so we'll see how things go this fall. All right, go check that out. That is Natura Restoration. Like natural, but shortened.

I like it. Natural. Oh, man, they really went nuts on this thing. Yeah. And link to the video on QuicktmS.org for those of you who do not listen to ours. There you go. Go find your own junkie thing in the garage and restore it, everybody. That's what we're saying. Bill, it's always good to talk to you. And the idea of seeing you in Vegas, well, my heart skipped a beat. We hope that happens. If it doesn't, it's, you know, again, no pressure from us. It's Bill Duran, everybody. You can find him at Punish Props.com or the Punish Props YouTube channel. I suspect you'll probably bookmark both because you'll love the content. He's also chin-beard on Twitter while it lasts. Bill, have a fantastic week. You betcha. See you. Bye. all right that's awesome yeah i'm admiring this these people these restoration people i don't think

i have the i don't have what it takes i don't think i have no i don't either i mean if i did that is the only thing i did and did youtube content for that okay that i could learn to do that and deal with it but um it it it's not something i could fit into my current bandwidth for sure yeah i can't add This is no add-on to my schedule. I'd love to, but yeah, no, not a chance. Not happening. I'll tell you what is happening, though. This right here is happening.

Science. Bob is hungry, and the soup looks good. That's right. Bob is hungry, and he's hungry for a little bit of science discussion here on TMS on Tuesday. It's Bobby Frankenberger. joins us for his science segment each and every week. Bobby, welcome back. Thank you for having me.

If it wasn't for this show, I would be in, in a mindless zombie state building, trying to make blue research cubes in Dyson Sphere program. It's the red ones I struggle with. Those are the ones I really get goofed up on my... I have the worst spaghetti... I don't even want to show you, Bobby, what I've done because it's so bad in that game. Well, you know what happens with me and why I don't get past those types of things is that I get... I'm like, oh, I could have done it.

Like every step of the way, I could have done that whole thing better. And then I just start a new game. You're not wrong. I do the same thing. In fact, I started fresh probably four times. And then somebody said to me, hey, by the way, if you just scrap everything, you'll keep all your research and just start over with, you know, just delete everything. But you don't lose any of your research. And then you can immediately start making the better belts, the better intakes, all that stuff.

So I started doing that. But it's still kind of a problem of like, I love where this is going. I love where this is going. I look at my back out and look at it and go, well, shit, there's about 20 things I'd rather do if I was to start this over. And so, what do I do? I start it over. Yeah, yeah. But it's so good.

I can talk about it all day with even the little bit that I've been in. But most of your listeners probably have never played that game. So they would probably turn this podcast off. Probably. He's speaking of Dyson Sphere program. If you haven't seen it, it's a PC game, 20 bucks. It's amazing. It's very good.

Yeah. What I love about it is the depth is insane. And, like, your whole, you're, where you ultimately need to go is putting a literal Dyson sphere around a star. Yeah. But you're not joking. You weren't joking. Last time we talked about this on this show when you told me, you, yeah, eventually you're supposed to be system, solar system wide construction building from like this whole planet is a factory to make this thing. But you start as just like one little robot guy.

Yeah. And you cut down a few trees, a couple stones and some weeds. and you're expected to go from there. And it does that really deftly. Like a lot of these games, I don't like them. I think the initial starting game is a little rough for a lot of these. They're not very welcoming in the early parts.

This game is the opposite of that. It feels great immediately. And you just keep growing and growing and growing, changing your mind, scrapping it, starting over. Talley in our chat has got some amazing shit on her planets. It makes me sick. Really? Yeah.

She's really good to have you here. We're going to read a little thing to you that I got in the old text box that came for you, and I'm going to read that first. Hello, TMS, says this listener. By the way, they sent this in to 801471.0462. Use it on the frequent. It says, question for Bobby on the topic of flying.

On MythBusters, one episode, they showed that a person with no prior training or experience could be given instruction over the radio to land a plane safely in an emergency situation. Now that you've been trained yourself, would you confirm this is a realistic notion, Jack the Knife. So obviously it's an extreme notion, right?

You're like, they're going to crash. The pilot's passed out, whatever. Somebody in the back has been asked to come up, and the most experience he's had as he built model planes in high school. We're going to talk him down with the radio. You think it's even possible now that you've seen enough of your training.

That you've done it yourself. Yeah. So I'm assuming that the situation here, like the emergency is just that there's no one to fly the plane, but the plane is okay. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, the captain and the, the, the first, the co-pilot have drank the coffee. They're unconscious on the floor of the cockpit.

Right. Somebody, somebody poisoned their coffee. So it's basically the, it's the, it's the theme of airplane, the movie airplane, except even less training, because in airplane, he was, he had plane, he was from the war. He was fought in Vietnam or whatever, he was a pilot, and had to fight his, you know, PTSD to get the plane down or whatever. hilarious PTSD back in the 80s. But yeah, like the concept still remains. If I was on a small plane, everybody else was incapacitated and I needed to land that thing. Could I do it? So I'm going to think about this and talk about it from two angles.

First is thinking about it as you are actually aviating the plane by hand. So like what I do, right? Um, and though safely is a word, I think that would mean, you know, like you can get it on the ground without everyone in it dying. Um, so people might be injured. Yeah, exactly. People might be injured. The plane might not be flyable again afterwards, but safely means that, that most hopefully all people live, survive the, the landing. And I think that's totally true. Like if somebody was in, like, if somebody was in, like, If I had, you know, one of you in the plane with me and then I, you know, suddenly went unconscious. Could you land the plane if on the radio somebody told you what to do? Yeah, you could.

And it might not be pretty. And I mean, I'm certain it wouldn't be pretty because it's not easy to do. And you have to know a lot about how the control, like if you've never flown a plane and then now you're being asked to bring a plane down to the ground, it's going to to be hard and you might make a mistake and you need it's going to have to be very carefully done they're going to probably send you out way out from the airport and have you try to come in straight and and you're going to be talking to you the whole time and all this kind of stuff right right maximize all your all your options but and so you this is not a situation you want to be

and nobody's comfortable with this backup plan right right right and and and and a lot could go wrong especially because there's there's there's the closer you get to the ground the more you have what's called the more turbulence you experience it's called mechanical turbulence and it's it's not mechanical because it has to do with the mechanics of the plane what it means is like the air is mechanically moving around things on the ground moving through and around and over trees building stuff like that in a way that's not just like smooth laminar airflow um so so as you come into a landing it just it takes a lot of practice to be prepared for that, the plane might suddenly, you know, jerk to the left a little bit. And you just have to be prepared for that and know how to, what to do. But if you're not and you don't know what you're doing, you might over correct or what they call over control the plane, which could cause it to stall or go into a worse situation, right? So it's not an ideal situation. But I never saw this episode of Myth Butters. So I don't know what the specifics of that.

situation were but if you but if you're talking about an airliner like a like an airbus you know um or some some big jetliner with a you know a hundred passengers on it um you're i would say you're going to it's going to be very difficult for someone to hand fly that plane um because the controls like it's there are a lot harder it's my understanding i've never done it before but it's my understanding that you're like slowing down and speeding up the plane by pitching the nose up and down is you're pooling and pushing a lot more and everything's much slower to change configuration and stuff like that but having said that there are a lot of autopilot systems that can do most if not all the work of landing the plane for you oh that's true the planes of 1977 for airport 77 or whatever. They're not the same. Like the stuff that,

but even then they had a lot of automation, but today it's like tons of it, right? So you're better, if it's a little Cessna or something, you're actually, that's a way harder process than if it was a commercial airline where all that stuff's built in and they can walk around a lot of that stuff. Now, depending on the small plane,

like my plane does have autopilot in it. I don't remember if it has autopilot enough to actually bring me down on what's called a glide slope to the, to the runway i don't think so but you can like you can fudge it by by manually changing altitudes on the on the on the on the autopilot in the plane that i fly stuff like that so you could be even talked through that if you knew how to tell them what type of autopilot you have but if you're on an airliner it definitely has autopilot i i'm not a hundred percent sure if the autopilot can

straight up land the plane but it can bring you low enough to where you are just having to do the very last part, which is like applying the brakes and making sure that the plane touches down with the right way, you know. And no pressure at all for this sort of thing, right? It's super easy. Yeah, no pressure at all. Yeah. The pilots basically sleep through the landing.

Yeah, of course. I assume they're always asleep up there. I don't want to say it because I think a lot of airline pilots, like they call them ATP pilots, I think they get annoyed when people say that. It's definitely a hard job. But the talking through, I imagine, and again, keep in mind I've never flown one of these planes. But I imagine the talking through would just be telling you what buttons and switches to flip, you know, so that you could have it come in properly, you know. I feel like I've never seen a really tall pilot.

You ever seen like a big six foot four plus tall pilot? I don't know. I think there's something there where it's like, I feel like you rarely see it if you do it all. It's like actors. You see them walking through the airport and they look tall, but I wonder if it's just because I admire them. I think it's because you admire them. I do. I see them and go, and they're always in great shape, you know, all that.

But it's just, I'd never see one that's like taller than me. Here or she. And I've also never been on a plane with a female pilot, which I don't, I think that's weird. At least, best I know. I have, I have for sure. I definitely haven't. I don't know why. I don't know why I've never seen a lady pilot.

I want to see a lady pilot, too, like you guys have gotten to see. You don't fly super often, do you? Not that often. Probably average, well, pre-pent. Usually two, three, maybe. Well, two at the most. So, yeah, probably an average of one to two times a year. I really don't go fly that much.

That's all right. Do you look in the cockpit every time you get on? Oh, every time. I do. I like to see what's going on. Yeah, I'll pass it by. They're like, good morning. And I'm like, hi, and I'm kind of side-eye and go, what's going on in there?

Yeah. I usually see them, you know, while I'm waiting in the gate, I see them with their little rolly bags going down the jetway. Yeah, yeah. Because I'm usually on the first flight of the day, so. And I don't know about the plane, the airlines and the planes that you guys fly on. But I know that nine times out of 10 when I get on and off a plane, at least one of the pilots is standing there greeting and saying, saying, you know, farewell to the people getting off.

Yeah, most of the time they're there. I just feel like I've never trying to think back. I look every time and I've never seen a female. Well, the industry definitely is male heavy. Yeah, like a lot of them. I don't know why, though, but we talked about this before Brian last week. We were talking about how I trust lady massagers more. I trust lady doctors more.

I'd trust Lady Pilot more. Is that weird? Does that make me weird? I know what you're saying. I don't necessarily trust them, but I feel more, I do feel more comfortable around, in the same, like you're talking about. I think it's because, I think, for me, I think it's because I grew up with just my mom as a single parent. So I think I feel, I think there's got to be something to do with that. It's not with that.

Yeah, for me, I think it's because I had a lot of, most of my friends in high school were girls. like I just not girl friends but you know friends that were girls and it and I just was around them all a time and most of the guys were dicks so I was like so I have this and I realize this is just a weird bias I have I'm not saying it's better I'm saying it's just how I always feel if I saw a female captain I'd go all right we got this we got a nice balanced view of the day she's awesome check her out she's not strutting around like a weird like I have all these built in things and I don't know where those come from it's really weird Yeah.

Anyway, well, Bobby, that's great. Thanks for the flight update on how things could happen if one of us idiots had an Atlanta plane. Now let's throw it over to you for some science you brought with you. What did bring? So I did bring one or two things that we could talk about, but I was going to ask you. It was like a week ago you had said you had a call about stars. Right. What was it?

Do you remember? I don't remember. What was it? It was something about a sun swallowing the earth. You sent it to me. and um oh yeah in discord and um right if you i think i don't want to search for it i have other things i can talk no no no i have it right here i don't remember doing this so i'm glad you brought it up um let's pull it up and play it i love that you sent me so but if you guys wanted how into into creating

his uh his assembly lines in this game are going bobby actually made this uh what'd you make this in you graft it out it's draw dot i oh my lord look at this brian home on let me send it to me. Yeah, I'm putting this in our group. You got to see this. So this, and it's a really efficient. Oh, look at that. Way from mining to storage, to smelting, to assembling, to your blue matrix lab. Like, look at you, dude. See, I need to do something like this for my satisfactory now. Yeah, that's really great. Um, anyway, let's see if I can find it. Was it before that? It was, right? Yeah. Yeah. Let me, hold on. Sorry, everybody. Give me one second.

There it is. Okay. Here, I'll play. Let it. Here we go. Hello, Scott and Brian. My name is Alice. I am a, well, a PhD candidate in particle physics, but I'm currently stationed at CERN in Switzerland. But I have a special interest in astronomy and such. And so yesterday's episode got me thinking when you were talking about whether or not, well, the movie Sunshine and how they go to the sun, which is dying to help restart it. Sadly, while it makes for a very good movie, it has a, It doesn't. It's not super realistic. So the sun will eventually die out when it runs out of hydrogen and its core to burn. And at that point, the sun will start expanding and its gravitational pull on the planets will start to kind of loosen a little bit. And where the planet Earth exists will kind of cease to be a Goldilocks zone. And eventually, it could either actually get swallowed up by the sun and end in basically a fire and blaze of hell and glory, or maybe it escaped. that fate, but essentially what will happen is that the Earth will, the Goldilocks

dome that surrounds the Earth will cease to exist, and Earth will become a bit more like Venus, which is kind of a barren housecape. Anyway, I understand it's probably a bit weird that I'm calling and saying, you know, well, actually, it's very typical scientist with me, but I just felt like I should, it felt like I should weigh in on that. All right, cool. I appreciate that call a lot, and I'm glad Bobby remembered that we needed to play it here. but I've never heard of the Goldilocks zone before.

Oh, no, you haven't? No, that's interesting. The Goldilocks zone is a zone around a star in which liquid water can exist on a planet. Like perfect conditions for life, right? Yeah, where potentially life could have. It's not as we know it, it should always be said, because we only have one example of life on a planet, right? So life as we know it, the Goldilocks zone. zone is that zone around a planet where liquid water could exist and where an atmosphere could

maybe form. Yeah, for the life we, like you keep saying, as we know it, like if you go to Venus, we don't know this yet, but maybe there's some weird life forms that can exist in that harsh atmosphere that we just haven't detected or seen or know or understand or whatever. Not necessarily aliens camp down there. It's not what I mean, but, you know. Well, you know, for a short time, it was later disconfirmed. but for a short time

scientists were excited because they thought they detected signs of life in the upper atmosphere of Venus so you know what did it turn out to be they didn't know what it could be but you know speculation was like some sort of bacteria maybe that was floating around

yeah that's women come from Venus I don't know what that means bacteria is important is what I'm saying it helps your gut so let's go from that where do you want to take that call Well, I thought the color is totally right. And also, by the way, this person works at CERN in Switzerland.

That's amazing, by the way. So that's... How cool is that, right? I know. Yeah. But I just thought it was totally right what he was saying. I just thought it's interesting to talk about why it is that the sun would engulf the space where Earth is. And importantly, I like how specific he was that it's not necessarily that it will engulf Earth.

That's a question mark. but it could easily engulf the space where earth exists right now because as the sun gets bigger and this maybe is counterintuitive but as the sun gets will get bigger it will have less mass and so because it has less mass it has less gravitational um you know influence on the things and so so the orbit of earth would theoretically go out get larger right um but the reason why is really fascinating. So the way the sun works is that it fuses hydrogen atoms. Well, stars fuse elements, and it always starts with hydrogen,

fuses hydrogen into helium, right? Because of the pressures are so great in the core of the sun. But the core of the sun is very small compared to the overall size of the sun. That's where the fusion is happening is in the core, because deep inside the center of the sun, the gravitational forces are very high. And so all those hydrogen atoms in there are getting smashed together, forced together at such a great pressure and temperature

that they're able to fuse and form new elements like helium. Right. Now, the thing is, the gravity of the sun or a star is so great that all of these elements should get pushed all the way down into that small area, or at least a smaller area, then you see the size of a star. Stars are very, very big. But the reason a star is the size that it is

because all that fusion that happens, yes, it's pushing down, pressure down into the core, but the fusion creates a massive amount of energy that also pushes out from the core. So it creates an equilibrium state that puffs the star out to its size that it is. Okay. Now, as fuel, as hydrogen keeps getting burned,

it will the fusion energy the energy of all that fusion will eventually start to die out there will not be eventually there will not be

enough hydrogen to to create fusion pressure that will hold all that stuff out okay how many millions

billions of years are we talking from now I actually don't know the numbers but you are talking about the order of billions okay

we're good then we got this we're fine No problem, no problem. This is all just theoretical. I mean, my consciousness is going to be downloaded into a machine before I die. So, potentially, I will be around for it, but yeah, whatever. Yeah, your consciousness will be being used to help power the logic of the Dyson sphere that we build around. Oh, nice.

Oh, thank goodness. We'll be pumping little red cubes out of Brian. That's what we'll be doing. Right, exactly. Good. So what happens is the fuel, the hydrogen fuel runs out. and that means there, like I said, that means there's no fusion happening

so there's no pressure pushing all that material out. So what happens is all that material that's getting pushed out is now able to collapse into the sun, right? But now that more stuff is collapsing into the sun, now you have more things, eventually lots of stuff

will start collapsing in and you'll have enough stuff again to start creating more pressure and more stuff will get start fusing and then what ends up happening is after all the hydrogen is is done helium starts to fuse and when helium fuses it actually creates more energy than when hydrogen fuses so again this is way in the future when this will start to happen helium will start to fuse into things like carbon and oxygen but the energy that's produced from that is much higher than the energy that's produced from hydrogen so as you can imagine since energy is higher that means the outward force is greater and that's what causes the red giant

to happen why that's why the sun puffs will puff up into a much larger size because once helium starts fusing it'll push all the material on outside of the core out at a greater force so it's like it's like you're blowing when you blow a balloon up and you put blow harder into it it'll make it larger so will these things will this happen um what is the best case scenario for like the speed at which the unlivability happens in other words can can let's say there's a the millions and billions of years from now mankind has figured out a way to live in perfect peace with one another and we're all doing great and just renewable energy left and right and we're all just awesome right and then the sun starts to take you know a dive none of this is

I see what you're saying. When the sun runs out of hydrogen, how long do we have? Yeah. Is it an immediate experience? Is it like suddenly life is snuffed out all in one breath? Or is it a long process of, oh, it's getting colder and colder and then eventually everyone dies? It's not immediate, but it's much faster than you might imagine. I'm talking about the in the order of years. Because from what I've read, once the sun will run out of hydrogen in phases. Okay. So all the hydrogen that's around the core. The core is fusing a bunch of hydrogen. A lot of fusion is happening in this relatively small core, right? But there's still a layer of hydrogen outside the core that is not close enough to the core to be burning, to be fusing. So what happens first is that core runs out of hydrogen and then it collapses enough for that outer layer to get pushed

into the core, and then it continues to fuse more hydrogen. And that actually happens a few times before all the hydrogen runs out. And from what I've read, I think it takes like a year or so. It'll take like a year or two for each of those layers to then burn off. So after that happens a few times, so after a few years, all the hydrogen, after the initial depletion of the core, it'll take a few more years for the rest of the hydrogen to get burned out and then and then it'll all be helium and then that puffing out i think happens pretty quickly um but i don't have numbers on on how how quickly that happens that's interesting because the the movie sunshine which is the you know what started all this conversation um that's how they do it it's an over a few years kind of thing where it's like much colder this year much colder that year the light is the It's basically a slow dimming of the sun as a heat source where things get ridiculous is going to launch a nuke into it to restart it.

But that's their idea is that it's going to happen over time. And to be a little bit with a little bit more detail, each of those phases where the core collapses and then more hydrogen gets burned, I believe that each time that happens, the sun will get, the volume of the sun will get a little bit bigger because each of those shells that is outside the core actually has more volume than the initial core did.

So, and that's just geometry, like the layer outside the core just ends up having more volume, just because of math. Gotcha. Yeah, math. And so I think it gets a little bit bigger each time, but not like

a ton bigger. But all through this process, you know, mass is being burned from the sun so slowly over time, the sun will lose mass and have less gravity. But the sun is cooler. When it puffs into a red giant, the temperature of the sun is cooler in that outer atmosphere is cooler than it was when it was, than it is right now. But we can't withstand that though, right?

Because it's going to mess up all the, well, the Goldilocks zone, as you called it, it's going to get all, well, as the, I guess the caller called it, it's going to get all left up. Whether it's cooler or hotter. Yeah, I mean, when I say it's cooler, we're still talking about like thousands of degrees Fahrenheit, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, because, I mean, the sun, the surface of the sun, the outer atmosphere, I guess you could call it, of the sun, is like 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, I think. So, you know, you could be half that temperature and still, you know, still burn your pizza, you know. Yeah, yeah, which, you know, nobody wants burnt pizza.

Although I do like it a little crispy, if I'm honest. I leave mine in for a little bit longer than the direction. Same. Yeah. And when they do it at a place, I appreciate it when my crust is a little, not burnt. I just don't want any soggy crust. You know, I've got a lot of toppings on there, a lot of moisture. I don't want a soggy crust.

Yeah. What's your favorite pizza topping? Oh, my gosh. Mine? Yeah. Not Scots. I don't care about it. Yeah, he doesn't get his shit about mine.

Honestly, I like barbecue sauce, chicken, cilantro, red onion and bacon. That's a tasty-sounding pizza. That's a freaking amazing pizza. That sounds really good. I'm going, I'm all mushrooms. I can make that at what you would call it. What's that place?

Oh, uh, mod. You could do that at mod. Mod pizza. I can make that at mod. I think it's called the, begins with a tea and it's not the Tristan. There's another one that, yeah, that is that.

I always make my own, but that's easy if I can just click a button. It is one of their, or part of it is one of their ready maids. I had cilantro and red onion. Okay. Yeah. Their menu says it's called the, not the mad dog.

That's what I always have. Tristan, it is the Tristan. It is the Tristan. It is the Tristan. It's why you tried it. T-R-I-S-T-A-N. Mozilla is Asiago, roasted red peppers, mushrooms, and pesto.

That's not the one, though. No, that's not anything like what I just described. I mean, it's called the Tristan. Yeah, no, I knew there was the one called the Tristan. Oh, the Caspian, the Caspian. Castian. That's it. Yeah, mozzarella, Gorgonzola, barbecue chicken, barbecue sauce, sliced red onions, yeah.

And then I add cilantro and bacon to that. I do the, I'll do anything just covered in it, cover it in mushrooms. Don't care what it is. Just want mushrooms. My, my six-year-old loves mushrooms, so. Oh, she's seven now. Oh, don't tell my gosh, dude, yeah. I'm with your seven-year-old, mushrooms are the best.

I love them. You can put them on anything. Yep, I had a burger the other day. It's kind of like this. your own well they give you the burger and then you go and just do all your toppings and i just load it up on a big stack of sauteed mushrooms it's good to have one person in the fan because none of none of the rest of us like mushrooms you get it's good to have one person who likes it's like having you got to have one person in your in your household that likes black

licorish yeah right yeah but you never like that person yeah oh brian i should bring i have some that i need to get rid of i hate oh great it's not it's not that salted monkey car No, not that. Okay. Remember the listeners sent us that salted monkey black licorice and it's like, oh, this is horrendous. That was the worst thing I, I'm trying to think of all the stuff we've tasted on air, not counting Nurtaculars, freaking rancid soda. Oh, the yogurt soda, right. I think that black licorice might be the worst thing I ever ate on here.

It was one of them, I'm sure. Obviously, it's got to be whatever made me go, you know, the yogurt or the thick and liquid. Thick and liquid, yeah. I saw some of that at the hospital the other day We had to go there for reasons Anyway, that doesn't matter But we saw they had a whole tray Of thickened liquids

That were going around to different rooms And I thought of you You know? Thank you for thinking of me for that Well, you know, I know how much you'd like A nice, oozy orange juice, you know Listen, a milkshake is the only thick and liquid That I am all in favor of

Yeah, I'm with you there. All right, well, this is very fascinating And if you would like to know more about our son or many other topics of scientific interest, you'll find them at All Around Science. Bobby, what's the latest over there? Well, on All Around Science, we just recorded a bunch of episodes yesterday, actually, because we're getting ready for Viva TMS Vegas. I'm not going to be there, right? So we have to get stuff done ahead of time. But the episode that came out, the episode that came out yesterday was about, I'm trying to remember, it's about a Oh, domestication.

We were talking about, there was a news story that just recently came out that some scientists have figured out that it's very possible that elephants, modern day elephants, were not domesticated by humans. In fact, they domesticated themselves. What? Which is pretty fascinating. I had no idea that self-domestication was even a thing until I read that. So I dug deep into it and talked all about it on our episode yesterday. So to give you some context, humans have actually self-domesticated and also bonobes. and also bonobos are a monkey that is self-domicated.

Oh, I love a good bonobos. Bonobos are the ones that get ripped, right? They're all like muscular as hell. Bonobos are the ones that are real chill and love to have sex. Oh, they're the whoop, whoop, boop, poop, poop, pooh, pooh, pooh, that's those with the the way they make their sound, right? Hold on. Maybe.

I don't, I'm not an expert on. They look like chimpanzees. They're the, like, the, they're often compared to chimpanzees all the time whenever you're talking about how they're. are different than other... Oh, yeah, here we go. Yeah, the males, some of the males are just ripped. Like, look at this guy.

It's funny, though, because they don't fight. They're famously, like, very calm and don't... And get along very well and everything, so... I think it's because part of it is that one of those newer Planet of the Apes movies, they had a bonobo in there. There was just a badass. And I think it just stuck with me. All right.

Because he was cool. He was the one with no hair. I don't remember his name. Movies are great. I've been a little tempted to re-watch all of those recent three ones because I really like those. Wasn't that Mark Wahlberg? No, that was. The one with no hair.

No, the one with no hair. Yeah. The jacked one with no hair. Yeah, he's the, he's like, I think I saw a chimpanzee. I think you saw Bonobo. Well, Bill. Say you to load you bonobo for me. It's always a pleasure to hang and talk and all that.

We'll have one more of these together before we see you in Vegas. Are you excited? I am super excited about Vegas. You just called me Bill again, which will... If Bill does come... If Bill comes to Vegas, that's going to be really confusing. Why do I keep doing that? Why do I keep doing that?

You're going to have to get name tags for you, too. I know, we are. Why is Bill and Bobby so effed in my head? I don't understand it. I got to figure this out. I'm going in for help. I got to get real help on the Bill and Bobby split, you know? That's right.

I'll just keep calling you on it every time until you stopped. Well, I appreciate that. I hope you have a great week that all things science come your way. Oops, I did not mean to do that. Shit. Hold up one second. I just closed the entire thing.

What I meant to just do was kick Bobby out of the call, but instead I kicked everybody out of the call. There we go. Oh, there we go, yes. I don't know how that happened. Let's get rid of them there. All right.

That was stupid. All right. Command Q and I should have in Command W. I was going to say, you do know how that happened. I can guess how that happened. Exactly. Because I was stuck in a channel with Bobby still. Like, hey, Bobby with you and me still.

Oops. All right. That's it for that. Let's get out of here on a quick, this is an email or a text. I think it might be a text. This is from Nikki. Not sure it's our Nikki.

Maybe. Well, she's got, she spells her name like Dr. Nicky. Yeah, this might be her. If it is, that's even better. Nicky Akramans. It seems like something she would write in about. But anyway.

Totally does. So hi, guys. In case you're wondering, AI generated images of animals also have creepy fingers. Someone gave a scientific talk at my university about mice and I was impressed at how they had managed to get such precise and well-lit images of their mice doing experiments

until I noticed they all had nine fingers on each hand. Grow the no-yo, Nikki. Oh, that's great. Yeah, it's a tell-tale sign. Patrick this morning put up some picture of, I don't know what it was, somebody performing on a stage, Japanese performer or something, and they were beautiful

images really nicely colored and lit. I could tell immediately they were AI, but they were nice. They looked nice. But then you zoom in, one of her hands is backwards this hand's got two thumbs for some reason she had a her hair which was supposed to be wispy was like creating a beard so her beard was going down the chin oh god weird okay it's like you just as much as those things keep improving yeah there's still pretty some telltale signs that slip in every once in a while yeah and i would share it if i remembered it but there's a

link somewhere a group of researchers decided that hey instead of using our AI tools to make a bunch of stuff. We're going to use ours to be a way to detect things that are AI generated, whether it's text, images, or whatever. I wish I remember the name of it, but it was very cool. You can run an image or a block of text through their system, and it will tell you with a percentage chance. Real or fake. It would be like 99% sure this is AI, and it will even tell you what tool they think it was made in because these tools have these signature things. And it was great. Really? That actually made me really. happy because it just felt like there hasn't been a lot of equilibrium to this massive

explosion, this gold rush on AI. And it's nice to see somebody say, hey, what if we had a way to like, you know, make sure that that definitely wasn't Trump being tackled by cops in that picture? Or that wasn't, you know, the Pope in his stupid wrapper coat or whatever, which is the one that fooled everybody. Anyway, I'll try to find it and share it. I don't know where I saw that. um okay that's it for that thanks for that message we appreciate it tonight you can catch me and john jagger continue our playthrough part three in fact of our resident evil four remake playthrough that'll be tonight on the twitch channel twitch dot tv slash frogpants or later on youtube uh so that series continues and will continue until we're done with it so uh check that out each and every

One of my favorite bands from the 90s, late 80s and 90s, and today a band called The The horrible SEO, great band. Yeah, I agree. Shanaya Twain having a moment here, I guess.

Jim from Northern California

here on Wednesday, tomorrow, April 12th, I'll be turning the uninteresting age of 56. Oh, I'm taking the day off of work and going for a bike ride and maybe see a movie if something interesting is out. I'm requesting a cover of or by Authority Zero.

I'd never heard of this band until Mr. Coverville played one of their songs on TMS. Really enjoyed the song, so I went and listened to their whole discography on Amazon music, and I really like their music. Scott, I'd play a random sound clip here. All right. Well, first you get this.

Let's party. How do you not get that, right? Yeah, that's a requirement, sure. And then here's, I don't know what this is. Smoke weed every day. Here's your random. Nice, that's a good random one, signed Jim. P.S. You should come out to San Francisco next January for SF SketchFest.

Have some live shows, meetups. I'll be retired and happy to help. So SketchFest is like, what is that? Like comedy sketch? type thing? It's a thing where things are kind of suss. You show there's a little sketch. Oh, it's a little sketch.

Oh, I see. Yeah. Oh, it is a comedy. I'm assuming it's a drawing. Oh, it is. It is a comedy festival. I thought it'd be art, too. It sounded like art.

Plus, they have a whole thing about Bill Plimpton on the top. Oh, I love Bill Plimpton. But I think what they're saying is he's just part of this. That's cool. It's a comedy deal. Yeah, cool. That's awesome. Comedy deal.

All right. Anyway, so Authority Zero, happy to play another song by Authority Zero. This is one I have not played before from their album Andiyamo from 2004.
