Well, boys, this has been real educational now, but now let's part with that old EA sports saying, get the fuck out of my building. You like the smell of fish? The morning stream. I'm the captain now. All right. Whatever. I don't know what happened there, but we'll just let it be. We'll just let it breathe.

It's totally fine. Yeah, we'll just let that soak in. Let it be what it's going to be. It's fine. Hey, everybody. It's Tuesday, May 23rd for the morning stream. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian. Hi, Brian.

Oh, hi, Scott. How are you? Hi, I'm all right. I realize that we did this already in pre-show, but I would like people to know about your cool, your coin holders. You should put them on Etsy. You should put them up. Put them on Etsy.

I'll put them up on like Etsy or, I still need to get my Shopify site going. But, yeah, challenge coin holders, for those of you watching the stream. Look at that. Oh, here's another awesome challenge coin. Oh, featuring Scott and Brian on a lady's leg. Sitting on a lady's leg named Vicky. A very recent one, yeah. That's right there.

And they're rearrangeable and mountable and all that. Watch for more information, everyone. We'll let you know. That's right. That's right. These I might, you know, I might just make the STLs available and we'll see. Yeah. Yeah. Do you just sell, do you sell, do you sell STLs or do you just give that out? What do you do? These I think I would just give out. Okay. Well, you're feeling very generous. Very generous guy today. Yeah. I'm a nice guy. Just giving shit away, you know? Yeah, exactly. Left and right. Exactly. Yeah. Let's talk about some stuff. I have this dental appointment today. So everything on the show today is designed to distract me from that, all right? because I really don't want to go. I'm just not in the mood.

I don't know why. I'm just irritated about it. Maybe it's because I just had one fixed, and now I'm immediately going back for a new one, and it's just annoying me. So I found something that's very distracting. This was sent to me via a listener via Twitter. Yeah.

You know, the Twitter. Oh, yeah, the Twitter. The Twitter. I've slowly been, I don't know about coming back to it. I guess I've been kind of coming back to it, but still not posting a whole lot there. I'm still more weaned off than usual. I still post about the same amount, but I don't read it like I used to.

I sort of stay away from my timeline. Yeah, I still only read when somebody mentions me. Yeah. Like when they tell me to stop singing at the beginning of Filmsack. Did they tell you to not do that? One person says, with the abbreviation, F-T-L-O-G for the love of God. Oh, he didn't like that. That's funny because most people love it.

yeah so there's always somebody my next one I'm going to do a song you gotta figure out a good song where the lead vocalist just talks you know maybe it's like everyone's free to wear a sunscreen and I'll just do that one dedicated to him yeah yeah remember his name let's let's drag him out in the public eye

so this original post came from Isabella Rosner I don't know who she is but she uh she's doing some research and she came across according to her tweet a lot of good 17th and 18th century Quaker names during her research because she's working on her thesis and has something to do U.S. history and stuff like that.

Anyway, says, now that my thesis is done and the submission is near, it's time to share more than 90 of the wildest early Quaker names I found in alphabetical order. So I found this, or she posted this list,

and it's been making the rounds on the tweets. But I thought it'd be fun for us to see who we think we'd be here. Yeah. Oh, my God. There's so many great names in here. And there's a big list. So it's, I'm not going to read

Somebody's... What the toddler eat us, I think, was one too. Yeah, I think the top, with the two-year-old

Brian in a elevator that was stuck for 10 years or whatever. Well, here's the deal. Somebody sent us this bit of weirdness from this is from a listener regarding the issue of eating your humans. This influencer says

she put part of her knee removed during surgery into a spaghetti bowl and and fed it to herself and her partner. Now, what makes this... Influencers are the worst. They are the worst. Let me tell you what makes it worse.

This freaking photo. Oh, no, there's a photo. Let me see. Yeah, and all I see are knee parts. And I know that's not what I'm looking at here. Right. You know, all you're seeing, you know, probably a lot of beef. I guess, you know, it's a beef bolognese.

Yeah. But, yes, all you can think of is that some of those people, pieces of meat are not meat. Yeah. Or these noodles here are like cartilage or something. Yeah. Or a kneecap is just under the surface. Gross. Oh, that's just a stock photo of Bolognese.

That's not. Is it? It's not the real one? Okay. Good. Yeah. This whole time I've been just looking for bits in there. Anyway, here's how this goes.

This is a Spanish 30-year-old content creator with two million followers on Instagram. She's a host of the Club 113 podcast. Never heard of it. She had part of her knee cartilage called the meniscus removed during surgery following an injury. Dr. Astor asked her if you wanted to keep it. She said, I told him yes. First of all, what doctor ever says can you keep it?

I never had one do that with anything I had removed. Did your doctor ever do that with you? You want to keep it? Really all it would have been was, I think the only part of my body that has been taken from me would have been just a few hours. hours after I was born. Oh, you've never had a, um, you've never had like a surgery or anything. Never had a gall bladder out or, uh, you still have your, well, you can't have your gallbladder out, but like a, well, you can have your gallbladder out, yeah, you can totally take it out.

Totally have that out. As a matter of fact, uh, April Ness. Herz is out, called it Galbert and she was able to keep hers. All right. So it's this girl, chat, and she, she ate part of her knee. That's gross. I couldn't, I couldn't do it. So what I guess what I'm saying is, this isn't the same as,

will the baby eat us or will the dog eat us? This is someone eating themselves. This is something I wouldn't do unless I wanted a bunch of followers and likes on TikTok slash YouTube. Ding, ding, ding, ding. I think you nailed it. Yeah, yeah. Would you? I really like, I like her phrase, according to Gano, people eat the bones, cartilage, and other parts of, quote, worse animals.

End quote, so what she did wasn't that weird, she said. Worse animals than, what? Worse animals? I don't understand that. Influencer? Pretty low. Pretty low on the animal's list. Yeah. I tend to agree. So if you, I mean, you know, the truth is we eat like a chicken, right? And we'll tear it apart. And there's like all the stuff and the bones and whatnot.

I had a chicken donner last night. Yeah. Also chicken donner and a pita. Do you think it's just because we were born? We saw this all the time. It never bothered us. But this would be really gross if we had never eaten a chicken before. Do you know what I mean? like it's is the only reason it's gross to eat your own knees because just culturally you just never did it but we're okay eating uh you know i love that no i mean i think eating eating eating any part of you would be gross regardless of whether or not are you saying that are you saying that because we've had chicken it's gross to eat part of ourselves no i'm saying or if we'd never eaten chicken i guess i'm saying somebody came you and said hey brian i'm prepared skunk for you and you'd go yeah I don't know if I want that or squirrel or something else because none of these you know they on the surface you're like that's not a thing I've eaten or would eat whereas chicken you're used to it beef you're used to it is that only reason like is it just that we're used to it we get a turkey and we obliterate it on king thanksgiving so I think the first time you try any meat like sushi is great for this right like having octopus the first time like what I mean an octopus no way or having calamari oh I'm eating squid you're kidding me But then you have it, you know, you do the taste and you're like, oh, this isn't bad. Do you like that?

I don't ever want to eat Scorpion again. Thank you. That was fine the one time I did it, but I don't need it ever again. No, you don't, you're good. You're sated on that front. I'm totally sated. Have you, have you ever, so you've eaten an octopus before. It's one I've never done.

I can't bring myself to it. Oh, I love, yeah, I love taco, T-A-K-O, taco at the sushi place. Is it rubbery? Is it rubbery? It's chewy. Yeah, it's, if it's fresh, it's not so chewy, you're not going to be able to chew through it. It's just like, it's just a firm, it's a firm meat. Okay.

I can get used to it is what you're saying. Yeah. Oh, eel. Oh, my God, shojo, yeah. Eal sushi, love, love. I have had eel once. I did do that. That was really good.

And that's always cooked. Yeah. It's not raw. But it also felt like there was a moment there when I got the eel. It was probably sushi, I think, where I went, oh, I really want to eat eel. And I kind of waffled back and forth. And then I ate it. And I was like, oh, that's actually really good.

And now I wouldn't even think twice. I would eat eel, no problem. No problem, right. So I guess you're right. It would just be what you're used to. It's really like, exactly. Like, there are people who live in, in parts of the country that have had squirrel and don't think anything of it. You know, like Jennifer Lawrence in Winter's Bone.

That's right. That's right. I've had it once in Mississippi. It was good. It was just a little greasy is all. I didn't mind it, though. Alligator, gator's really good. Oh, I love gator.

Yeah, see? So, anyway, I guess my point is, could I eat a knee bone? Eh, maybe. Yeah, so you're just right. If you had a lot of human knee, it wouldn't seem that weird to you to have some more human knee. Yeah, I guess that's my thing. If human beings were used to eating their knee, then maybe we would be okay with it. Anyway, I hope those views were worth it.

Spanish influencer with 2 million followers. Exactly. Let's move on to this. We get a call from this guy a lot. That's how many I've got. Oh, yeah, yeah. If that's the way, forget it. If that's the way, eh, it's not worth it.

All right. So we got a call from, I forgot his name again, but he'll tell us. Anyway, talking about why I was saying that, When I went to the M&M and the Hershey store, it just smelled kind of sour and weird. And he has an answer. Hey, Scott and Brian, Zinger from Wisconsin here to drop a little bit more chocolate knowledge on you. Scott, in a really recent episode, you mentioned that when you're in area with a lot of chocolate, it smells like a diaper. So what the story of what that is is Hershey, when he was trying to copy the Dutch milk chocolate from Peters, he thought they put actual milk in it.

And what happens when you put milk and you warm it up, it spoils, right? So you get kind of a spoiled milk flavor. He didn't realize he was doing it wrong, but that's what he did, and that's what people started to like. So they tried to change it at one point in time and actually do milk chocolate correctly, but the market rejected it because everybody got so used to his spoiled milk chocolate. So now they actually add a chemical compound called butyric acid, which literally smells like baby vomit. You can talk to Bobby about this, too. That would actually be a great segment for you.

guys. But yeah, I just thought I'd let you know why sometimes a lot of chocolate, especially American chocolate in an area, smells like baby diapers. Have a great day. See, it's the Hershey guy. We have him to thank. There you go. Thanks, Hershey guy. Yeah, thanks Hershey. Larry Hershey. Yeah, so I think that's just an American problem. I don't, you know, everyone. I haven't noticed it, but then again, I've only been in the Las Vegas M&M store once. And it was, you know, like early 2000s, late 90s maybe, well, probably early 2000s. It was new.

And I said, huh, what am I doing in here when there are craps tables nearby that don't have me standing next to me. Yeah, these are not, this place is not for Brian. It's not for me either. It's really,

it's for kids. And that's great. But even Van made a little face when we walked in. He's like, and smell good to him. This smells like Phoebe. Yeah,

smells like my sister. This is gross. I'm getting out of here. Anyway, well, thanks for the clarification. There's Zinger. And Zinger reminds me that my favorite before I gave up the shug my favorite little sneaky treat was a zinger

oh zingers were great I love zingers little sneaky treats so you never had like an appendix appendicitis I still have my still have both kidneys gallbladder liver I'm doing everything I can to get rid of it

appendix I've got everything you've got all the thing you've never I'm still factory factory complete So nobody, other than voluntary, like the, what's it, with the weaner one, what's it called? Yeah, circumcision?

No, the other one that you get when you don't have kids. Oh, well, they didn't take anything out. My, uh, your, you're snip, snip, right? My snip, right. So that other than these voluntary things like that. Yeah. I still have my tonsils. My gosh, you are a walking, you're either a walking time bomb or you're a miracle.

I don't know what. A miracle of modern science. I do have my, I did take out my wisdom. teeth. I took one of my own out and then the dentist took the other one out. You took one of your own wisdom teeth out? I took one of my own wisdom teeth out. Yeah, it was impacted at a buffalo wild

wings and so it pulled out. At the wild wings, you took it out? Oh my gosh. Why are we just hearing about this? Why is this good now? This is insane. I think Tina doesn't like me tell the story of it. Oh my gosh.

Dude. Broke a wisdom tooth and took out. all the pieces out of Buffalo Wildlings what we were eating. Damn. So like all this, you know, sauce, is that sauce or blood or whatever?

No, I did in the bathroom, but, uh... Wow. Wow. Did that hurt? Um, the initial breaking of the tooth hurt, but when I pulled the, um,

pulled all the roots out and stuff, it did not. It, it hurt less. You were able to pull all that out. Wow. I was able to pull all that out. Damn. I had a doctor take my wisdom teeth out. Like everybody's like, what?

Oh my gosh. Holy crap. Yeah, Amy Red Fragles. Are you insane? Yeah. That's really something. That tells me you have a higher tolerance of pain than I previously thought. You'd think, right?

Yet, uh, I can't ride my back because my leg hurts. Well, here's hoping that your first surgery isn't. your leg or your back let's hope for that all right i don't want that i did i absolutely did so matthew sergeant asked did you follow up with the dentist after uh completely the next morning called the dentist got in there right away and uh and then he's like yeah okay well let's get the other one out

and so we made an appointment to pull the other one out okay so you have no wisdom teeth now yeah i you know there were i mean i wasn't i wasn't drunk or anything but there you know i did have some alcohol and i think that helped a lot yeah that's what they used to do back in the day you were like Like, oh, I've got to take your leg, Sergeant, so you drink this. Here's a swig of whiskey, and then they douse the whatever implement they're about to use on you with the rest of the whiskey, and then they give you a leather belt to bite on. I've seen so many movies, and that's all they ever do. And when you buy, I always say, well, wait, if you bite too hard, now you're going to have dental problems and you don't have a way to fix that pain either back then.

Damn, that just blows my mind. I don't know why. I don't know why. That just is impressive. So enjoy your dentist visit, Mr. Scott Johnson. My gosh, took your roots out and everything. Just nuts to me. All right, well, well done.

Well, that's about all she wrote when it came to that. We're going to move on to a little bit of the Tuesday news, and it starts with this. Where's this? There it is. Yeah, that's right. The news today is brought to you by. Brought to you by Soundography.

A brand new episode just got posted all about the band. Chumbawamba. Can you name two Chumbawamba songs? The answer is probably no, because you can name tub thumping, and that's probably where your Chumbabwamba knowledge ends. Fix that by listening to Soundography and realize that that is kind of the outlier of their music. It is the one party song amongst a huge field of social commentary, protestee, I mean, God, it's almost like a turnoff to describe it like that. But they put out a lot of music and a lot of incredible stuff. Oh, Amnesia is the best song like you, Phil. You're right about that. So there are good songs. Would you say it's good?

Like, these are good, this is good music? Yeah, very good music. I'm blown away by this, too. First, I find out Brian Rooved a tooth, and now Chumba Wamba's good. I don't know. Chumba is good. And it's funny because that one song, even though that's the song they play over and over in the bad place.

Tub thumping is not representative of all of their sound. Wild. Wild. Very, very cool. Start with, oh yeah, they did do a cover of Bella Chow, Jacob Grove. And if you have not watched Money Heist, what are you waiting for? Go watch Money Heist.

Wow. But, yeah, go listen to a sing song and a scrap. That's one of their later albums, or Whissywig, or ABC, D, FG. All those are really, really good. Is this a band where you say the single kind of hosed them a little bit yes yes yeah i would say that i think i feel like aha suffered from that too take on me is a great song um but it directed them down a path where everyone

said oh that's aha now i know what aha is i don't need anymore and the rest of their stuff is so good it's like okay they feel like um the theme song of living daylight so the sun always shines on tv are kind of like okay yeah i get they i guess they do some different stuff No, no, no, no, all their stuff is really, really good. Aha, is such a great band. Well, check it out, Sandography.com, if you want to learn more about Chumbawumba, and they're apparently good music. Blows my mind.

All right, let's see what else we learned today. We got teeth coming out. We got that. What other discoveries can we make on this 2,467th episode of TMS? Well, let's find out. How about this one? A double amputee. Gurka veteran.

I don't know what Gurkha means. That's a kind of pickle, Scott. It says Gurkid soldier veteran, but I don't think that's what that is. No, it's not a Gurkin. I can't find that part. But anyway, he's a veteran. Lost his legs in duty, both legs and arms. Or no, both legs.

Just he has his arms. Anyway, he lost those in Afghanistan. It's achieved mountaineering history after reaching the very top of Mount Everest. It's a feel-good story that we got here. Eastern Indian, by the way. Eastern Indian, all right, cool. Yep. Gurk is cool.

The Paule's and Nepali speaking Indian people. Nice. I would be, I would feel safe around a Gurkha. Yes, you would. Harry Buddha Magar, who lives in Canterbury, Connecticut. Oh, no, Canterbury, Kent. My brain went Connecticut as soon as it saw Kent. I don't know why.

I got Americanitis. Anyway, reached the summit of the world's tallest mountain at 3 p.m. on Friday, having started the climb on the 17th of April, exactly 13 years after he lost his legs after an IED explosion. While waiting 18 days at the Everest Base Camp for the weather to clear, the veteran in his crew faced freezing conditions and saw two dead bodies. Oh, yeah. Being dragged down, yeah.

Sherpa's probably doing that. Speaking to the PA News Agency from the Mount Everest Base Camp, he said, quote, all of my jackets were completely freezing. It was all frozen, even our warm water. we put hot water in the thermos and that was almost frozen as we were not able to drink unquote to continue when I came down and ran out of oxygen these guys came up with oxygen I was bumping down on my bum and we had 30 to 40 minutes of oxygen and we still had about two or three hours to get down oh my god they made it though they did it that's awesome that is yeah we had a friend Brad um Tina and I knew that that summited Everest and talked about all the dead bodies you see on the way up, well, and presumably on the way down, if you don't become one of them, that basically it's just too much work to try and bring them down because you've got this limited amount of oxygen and you've got to conserve energy and hauling down

bodies from Everest would expend too much of that energy. So they just leave them up there. Yeah. And I guess it's... They're well preserved in the frost. I assume they're probably perfectly preserved. Yeah. Yeah. So then you'd then you take a couple locals and you just send them up there to get them. That always seems to be the way. Like none of these, you know, people who are up there doing the climb seem to be able to bring anyone down. But then later it's like, no, we'll send some Nepali folks up there. They'll take care of it.

Yeah. They always do. If I was dead on Everest, leave me there. I'm good. You don't have to bring me down. I don't want to risk anybody else's, you know, tail coming up there. Yeah. Leave me up there.

It's fine. Just, yeah, the mountain has claimed. over 300 climbers in recent history and about two-thirds of that number remain on the mountain. The current estimate of remains left behind on Everest

total about 200. That is as of what's the date of this article? Oh, March 11th, 2023. Oh, so recent. Yeah. Okay.

I mean, whoa. Let me think about this. How about I ask this question? Is there anything that would make you want to go to Everest? Would a cat eat the dead body? No, I mean, it would. It would if the cat can survive. But I would definitely eat the cat, I can tell you that.

If you could, or is that the thing you'd ever want to do? You want to go to Everest? Do you want to go up there? No, I'm all right. I'm all right, not summoning Everest. Same. I don't need to either. Yeah.

I'm good. Yeah. I feel like. Because that feels like one of those things that you have a desire, like you have a desire that is carried with you for most of your life to do, right? you don't just all of a sudden wake up and say you know what now I've decided I want to summit Everest Yeah

But you do it if you You know if you want the Instagram likes Here's my photos for Everest Yeah I assume that I can't get a signal up here Right oh it sucks The 5G is horrible at that height I guess That's right I'm really curious about what makes people want to do it though

I watch a lot of like if there's an Everest documentary I watch them I always see them Oh fascinating yeah I think they're wild And every one of them is about somebody either dying up there or almost dying up there yeah and i just think okay well now that you're down and you can talk about it makes for a great story you can say you did it it's all this amazing stuff but man i don't think we're meant to do that we're not supposed to go up there no

no not i mean whatever human beings of reach for what all sorts of stuff we shouldn't do but that just seems like you're just asking to get killed i don't want to go yeah i'll stay down here and have my teeth worked on. It'll be fine. That's about it. It's about all I need. Yeah. Yeah. Here's a guy kind of morbid, but here I'll give you Oh, I like morbid. From this article. Here's one of the bodies on Everest, 1996.

Oh yeah, look at him. Is that his body there on the side? That's his body there on the side. They call him green boots because he wears green boots. And so everybody sees him coming up, coming down. He's like, oh yeah, so yeah, we passed green boots. about 20 minutes ago and we're headed up to base camp number three. Wow.

I don't know. I guess if you're a regular up there and you're always doing runs up there, which I know there are people that go up and down all the time. Yeah. That's how you have to look at this. You have to say, oh, it's green and you have to have kind of a light feeling about it. Elsewise, it's just too grim.

Oh, my God. Some of these photos are... They're gnarly, right? One more? Yeah, give me one more. I'm not putting these on the chat, by the way, everybody, because I don't know sensitive to what. They might be over-sensitive. to do. I don't want to freak anybody out. Oh, look at that. Wow, let's just say this one has to do with...

Kane da! He's just wrapped in a Canadian flag. Oh, I get one more. Okay. Let's see what you got there. So, yeah, these are... Oh, I guess I'll give people a link in that way they can. Yeah, they can decide if they want to see them. I don't know if they...

Oh, this guy that's just sitting there. Because this guy looks like he just stopped to sit down. Oh, man. Put his hands on his knees and then just froze there in place. It's got a little bit of the shining vibe to it, you know? Oh, very much so, yeah. Or jacks out in the maze. Yeah.

All right, well, that's creepy. There you go. Nice, nice. So good job, Gurkha veteran, Hari Buda Magar, who got up there without having any legs. Yeah, and I'm glad you didn't leave any of the rest of you up there. Glad you're still. No kidding. Still good.

Let's do a Colorado story, Brian. This is a little local to you. Southern Colorado, anyway. The admins down there are not laughing at this senior high school prank. Oh, God. They call it a major security concern. May 4th through 18th, or no, sorry, May 4th, 18th, 18th, 18th students. That's the number of students.

Six from Woodland Park High School and 12 from Manitow, Manitou High School. Manitoo. All right. They plan to swap places at school that day. Okay. All right. Quote, we were just going to switch senior classes, Woodland Park. would come to Manitou and act like us,

and Manitou would go to Woodland Park and we would act like them, explains Nola Christensen, a Manitou Springs student who participated in the swap. We didn't mean any harm in the situation, she says. That seems like such a, such a harmless prank. We're just, oh, we're,

I'm going to your classes, you're going to my classes, huh? Yeah, so here's what happened, though. So school administrators, so this is in a statement, as to what happened here. Well, a few teachers were in the loop, too, on the deal. Yeah.

And a statement released to News 11, let's see, superintendent, superintendent. Super Nintendo Chalmers. Eric Martin said in part, after hearing rumors of Woodland Park students in their school, quote, school administrators and staff members immediately did a sweep of MSHS and SILC and the SLC building to see if there were students on campus that should not be there. We discovered three non-MSHS students in one of our classrooms,

after which they were escorted to the front office. School administrators also intercepted three additional non-MSHS students trying to enter the high school through a locked commons door. The students were told to leave campus and they complied. All right. So we're just heating up here. It's heating up. Yeah. Okay. All right. Good. Yeah. After the splits or after their second split, the girl who talked earlier says she ran into Woodland Park's principal he told us go into this room or I'm going to arrest you

you're all going to jail we thought he was joking then slowly all the rest of the kids went into that room and when we realized he was being serious he said that he that it was a serious charge that was going to happen and that he was

going to have cops come in and stuff and stuff so later about three or four cops walked in and then that's when we all knew it was really serious this girl's going to drive me up a tree anyway they were going to they were going to charge them all they claimed that it was a huge security risk

I think they're just trying to teach him a lesson right that's all this is yeah having having people on the school grounds that aren't the students from that school you know how do you know that it's that it's just harmless students doing this prank and not something more nefarious or something more dangerous

I get it, but still, like, you know, stealing the other school's mascot and putting it on top of the roof kind of thing. Yeah, we had something at the top of the roof at Arvada High School. What did you guys, what was the worst thing you felt like. I'm trying to remember what the thing, it was a statue or something from Pomona or part of their sign or something that the seniors put on top of the roof of our high school. And I wasn't involved with any of this. I don't care. I participated in Ditch Day because it's like, oh, yeah, I'll do that, whatever. You didn't, so you didn't do, oh, man, I feel like a rebel.

I didn't do any senior pranks or anything. This is why you don't have any operations. I'm paying for all the pranks I did. Right, exactly. Right. I would have done that. And next thing, you know, one of my kidneys would have to be removed. Yep.

Okay. So I don't know if I'd told the story on the show, but toward the end of our senior year, we did two things. One, we went to a bowling alley and bowled. Okay. But we stole four bowling. bowling balls and five pairs of bowling shoes it's so dumb we took them out and we painted these me and my friend Dan and some others painted these bowling shoes to look like fancy loafers like nice leather shoes okay we did a good job but anyway we tried to make them look nice and then we

the goal was we would wear those at graduation oh okay har-har-ha-ha right we're all wearing stolen bowling shoes the bowling balls got put in various lockers sure at the school and I don't remember how that panned out but I'm pretty sure somebody took the fall for that and the rest of us were okay. What's funny is that I doubt the bowling alley even noticed about the bowling balls.

They probably noticed the shoes. Yeah, they probably noticed they're short on shoes. Exactly. I think there were so many balls that were just like, what? Something's missing. We don't know. So anyway, and we never got in trouble for that.

But here's what we did get in trouble for. The, I don't know, last week of school, we had this stupid idea. I still can't believe we did this. We loaded a truck, one of our friends, trucks full of sand. I'm sorry, sand bags. So they're bags full of sand

that you normally use for like flooding and stuff. And our school was a cylinder. It was a round disc. It's no longer there. They tore it down and put it in a new one. And it's normal. But this one had these circular halls. In fact, our song had this whole line

in it about within these circled halls. It's real stupid. But anyway, the reason that that's interesting in the story's case is we had very few staircases of any kind. It was all either slow ramps. to the next level or it was in a circle. And so all he had to do, and we did this right before school open,

we were trying to make sure nobody saw it, we backed the truck up through where normally the food comes in for the cafeteria. But we just kept backing it up through this very wide hall that had no stairs, and that took us right up to locker space. Okay. And then we dumped, or we took enough of the sandbags to make a perimeter around a bunch of lockers. And then in where we had made a perimeter, we dumped the rest of the sand in there made a beach on the on the floor of the thing and then we all tore off our shirts and we all had just you know swimming trunks on yeah everybody he was in on the sand yeah and my buddy dan had a had a had a blender in his locker so he took that out and he's making like margaritas without any alcohol as if we're not in big enough trouble already but man's right right right oh gosh yeah yeah and I'm like this is not going to as we're doing it I'm like this isn't going to work this isn't going to work right

in huge trouble. He's like, ah, we're seniors. What are they going to do? We're out of here in like a month anyway. Who cares? Yeah. And I'm like, I don't know, man. Whatever. I guess I'll participate anyway because this is cool. And so we did. And we played, I don't remember the music we played, but we had music playing. So all the teachers could do was come out of their stuff or arrive at the school, walk down the hall, look at us, shake their head. And then they told the principal. And then we got all busted. And we had to clean it for days. It was so stupid. We didn't get to suspended or anything, though. So, wow. Yeah. Well. But, but, but we felt we felt like we had we had done the ultimate prank we thought maybe somebody had done

something cooler at the school and we just never heard about it but that was at the time anyway it was pretty legendary that feels pretty legendary yeah HD even went to olympus one year after you and or when you're behind you and he even heard about it at his school awesome that is good to hear because i never really heard how far it went out i knew it was a big deal on our own school but like hill somebody hillcrest once told me they heard about it but that was years ago yeah Hillcrest was like our They were our diabolical enemy We hated them

Was it really like your Arch Enemy School? Oh, I love that Was that where you're rival Do you have that? Was it the one? Yeah, Pomona was We had our Vada West

So we were Arvada High School We had our Vada West Which right now is just a mile down the road for me And then Pomona were our two rivals And Was it mostly like sports stuff Or just in general?

Yeah, just in sports stuff Yeah But obviously that carried through Oh, you go to Pomona You're one of our rivals yeah it wasn't highland HD it's uh it was brighton brighton high school's where i went okay and uh yeah we i thought we were in bigger trouble it was not nearly as much punishment i think they were just like they had it with the class of 87 for real they was just like uh whatever just have

them clean it up get them out of here i like the group group coming up or something i don't know what's going yeah oh funny uh but now i checked with them and alta and skyline are the big rivals so it changes. Really? Interesting. I wonder what makes it change. I guess probably how the teams do that year, right? Yeah, I think their divisions get a little bit, you know, scrambled or whatever.

They change school. I don't know. High school is weird, man. It's a weird time. Hey, speaking of sports, hey, the Denver Nuggets last night clinched or won the Western Conference finals for the first time ever in franchise history and are going to the finals. Despite that insane game. Yes. A sweep.

a sweep against the Lakers I don't believe four games Bam bam bam bam And what's his name Had the best first half of his career What I think of his name LeBron James

Had the best First half of his entire career And you guys still swept him And we still stomped him Yeah I blame the rest of the Lakers for that I think so exactly Not pulling their weight for sure

No that's great though Gratz you're gonna Well at the very least you're going to have a bunch of freak shows in the streets and stuff. Yeah, exactly. And, you know, once again, Caller a Mammoth, making it to the finals. And I'm going to get overshadowed by another one of our local sports teams, our bigger of the big four sports teams that's going to be like,

ah, hey, did you hear about the, but okay, that's great about the mammoth. But did you hear about the Nuggets? Have you guys, has the state ever had one of those years where all of the major sports are the winners that year? No. No, that'd be great. but no we've had trying to think if we've

of the big four if we've even ever had two that like you know World Series and um the abs or something like that or Broncos and abs no I can't think of that

would have to be who would be right because this is the first time the nuggets have made it to the finals and it's been forever since the Rockies were good it has been a while haven't it yeah so it's a building decade it's a building decade it's right exactly it's a rebuilding

building year. That's right. Here's an unfair firing that we're going to report on. Okay. All right. Weather anchor says she was fired over her curly hair. Oh, no. Yeah. So she wasn't wearing pants. Yeah. Oh, I see where you went with that. Yeah. See here. See where I went with that? Yeah, I see where you went with that. Weekend, whether a reporter claims she was fired

from her on-air job in Knoxville, Tennessee. There's a Tennessee story for you. Yeah, here you go. This is at a TV station because of her physical appearance on air, including having hair that her manager said was too curly. Tabitha Bartow worked at W-A-T-E. Wait. Wait. They need an N in there, and then I'm all in.

Yeah. This is an ABC station in Knoxville. Since February, her first job out of college. Soon after she started, she repeatedly clashed with the stations management over her parents. She told the Knoxville News Sentinel. Did you ever go there? I did totally go to the Knoxville News Sentinel, yes. Yeah.

Anything cool there? Anything unique happened? No. I don't remember anything about Knoxville. Knoxville is cool, right? It's supposed to be. Yeah, it's nice. I mean, I like Tennessee, Kentucky.

I like those states just for the, you know, the food and the mountains. Good people and all that. Yeah. Got the great smoky mountains on one side of them. Just because you have terrible state representatives and senators doesn't mean the rest of your state's not cool. Right, exactly. Yeah. I've got all kinds of puds over here, but I love you, Tom.

Anyway, it says, in one early appointment with the station's hairstylist, Bartow said that she was asked about getting her hair relaxed. Is that what they say? That's weird. Yeah, get your hair relaxed. Never heard of that before. With one person reportedly telling her, quote, if you straighten your hair, the curl will just fall out over time.

That's what we're looking for, unquote. But in her subsequent appointment, management told the stylist to make Bartow's curls more defined, according to the Sentinel. Anyway, this all culminated in her firing. Here's a picture of the lady. She seems fine. I don't understand. Here's a picture with curly hair, too, if you want.

Oh, yeah. Is there a more on that? Yep. Let me pull up. Oh, yeah. See, what's wrong with this? Nothing is wrong with that. Look, chat.

Look at her. I mean, she, other than the fact that she looks like she's 14. How can anyone be 14 years old and be a meteorologist? It's crazy. That's right. Or anchor, I guess. It's like, I'm going to the Katie Perry concert. Also, there's a cold front coming in.

I don't know. I don't know what 14-year-olds do. I don't know what they're up to. And they barely go to Katie Perry concerts. I think you're exactly right. You think I was on? Okay. That wasn't just me making that up.

That's good. Let's go down to Florida. Stay in the South. Sure. Florida. Florida researcher is going to break the world record for living underwater. This is on track to happen. An underwater researcher on track to break the world record for the longest time

spent living underwater, retired U.S. Navy officer, or commander rather, Joseph Duturi, I believe is the correct way of saying his name, who holds a doctorate in biomedical engineering and teaches hyperbaric medicine. Hyperbaric, I guess that's when that's underwater medicine, right? Well, hyperbaric is like those chambers that people get in and float. Oh, hyperbaric chamber. No, no, no, they're the frozen ones, right? Like the, isn't that hyperbaric? isn't that like the not like cryo

is a pressure okay pressure chamber okay I prepare a chamber but it's not like the ones where you're all your sound and sight and no not the not the what do they call that sensory deprivation tank different from sensory deprivation I want to do so pressure high pressure

chamber do you ever want to do I kind of want to do a sensory deposition oh I do totally want to do one of those yeah so anyone know like a I don't know is there a thing around here like around town I guess there's a there definitely is go to Groupon you'll find them they always have coupons on a Groupon would you worry I know you get a little claustrophobic sometimes

but that buggy to be in there they feel big enough that I wouldn't get that I'd I'd more worry about turning into the guy from altered states Deep cut Oh man Speaking of aha Yeah right

Oh man We should watch that I don't know why we haven't watched Altered States for film sex That needs to be on our list. That is an egregious miss there. Also, I screwed up last film, sec. We, somebody said, oh, our next movie is Mission Impossible three. And I went, oh, I love that one.

John Wood directed it. It's all got all the slow motion and doves, and nobody corrected me. But that is two, not three. I don't know why I get two and three mixed up. Three, okay, who directed three? Do you remember? Three is J.J. Abrams. Gotcha.

And he has Felicity in it because that's a rule. and she's great. We've been watching Felicity and a Thing, and I won't say what it is, but it's very good. Oh, I know what it is. I bet I know what it is. Yeah, because it's brand new, so it's pretty sure you know exactly what it is.

Hearing good things about that show. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. God, she's great. And freaking Rufus Sewell. Dude, I could watch him read a book. I could watch him change his clothes. He could sit and pick his nose, and I'd be happy.

I love that guy. I still recommend you check out kaleidoscope on Netflix eight-part series about a heist with Giancarlo Esposito and that's a dumb gimmick about, oh, you can watch these in any order and it still tells the story.

That's all dumb. Forget that. Just watch it because it's a really good. It's a good story. Will it just play for me the way it's supposed to or do I have to do anything? No, it'll still shuffle them, but Okay, that's fine. But he's in that is what you're saying. Yeah. Yeah, Rufussel and Gene Carlo Esposito kind of button heads

and those are two great guys. guys to have buttheads. He can be around for me. Rufus Sewell was so good in that got the man of the high tower. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

He was, he's my favorite thing about dark city. I love dark city. Yeah. Let's go find all the Rufus Sewell we can eat. All the Rufus Sewell. Such an interesting actor, you know? Yeah.

Oh, it's a sad day though for Ray Stevenson. That was sad and died yesterday. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Only 58. It's a little too young. celebrate by watching RRRR. Yeah, I didn't even know he was in that.

I know you've talked about the movie, but I don't know he was in that. And then he's the backbone of Rome. I loved Rome back in the day. Oh, really? I never saw Rome. Oh, it was great. He was great.

I'm about to finish season four of the wire, even though that has nothing to do with Ray Stevenson or Rufusel, but it finally opens it up for me to binge something else like Succession or Barry or Rick and Morty's new season. and something. Something. Barry, I got to get on Barry. I hear Barry's great this time.

Yeah, got to get on Barry. Got to get on Barry. Barry's never bad, but I'm hearing great things. And I need to, I need to, if I hear one more people, one more people, if I hear one more person, we're one more people. One more people. If one more people, it comes to me and says, why aren't you watching Succession? Oh, yeah.

And I've seen the first season. I just am not caught up. I'm tired of all you telling me. I will do it, okay? I'll get to it. Also, let me register a complaint. Today, I think is the. official day? Is it today? Maybe it's the 25th where HBO Max is the official. Is that it? Okay.

Well, if you're talking about Star Wars. No, no, no. I'm talking about, um, uh, they're changing HBO Max to Max. Today is the day. Is today that day? Okay. Today is Max. Yeah. Imagine if Disney changed their service to just call it plus. And said plus, the home of Disney programming. Yeah. But it wasn't, uh, didn't it start because they had some Cimax stuff on? No, I it's not right it was always separate from cinemax because HBO and yeah they don't know that I don't think HBO who owns Cinemax maybe they do actually

don't know that I shouldn't say but if they own them then maybe you could make a you could make a connection but I don't know if they do yeah but they the branding is so weird to me it's like that's the brand you're taking the thing the prestige name

also called home box office right home it says home in there But box office implies movies, and they're much more, you know, they're much more shows than movies. Well, that's a good point. That's a good point. But they're so known for, like, prestige, some of the best television in the history of the medium. Yeah. And you're taking their name out and putting something else. And you're taking their most significant part of their branding, the HBO part of their branding. Yeah. It's not HBO anymore. It's TV. Hey, guys, sorry. No more team. No more of the morning stream. It's now just stream. Yeah. Yeah, but Disney, you know, they may not be just dropping their Animit Plus,

but they're doing a thing where it's like, if you subscribe to both Disney Plus and Hulu, you'll get all your Disney, all your Hulu stuff in the Disney Plus app now. But you still need to subscribe separately to Hulu to get all your Hulu stuff in Disney. That's also weird. All of the streaming, the streaming retraction that's going on right now is all very strange. Yeah. I don't like it.

It makes me nervous. Yeah. But whatever, it's been an embarrassment of riches for a while. Maybe it needs a little recession, I don't know. Maybe. Yeah. That's going to do it for today's news. We are now going to take a break when we come back some time with Bill and Bobby.

It's your usual Tuesday, everybody. Yeah. We can't do any of that, though, without music. So, Brian, would you bring? No, you got to have your music. All right. So if you're a fan of, like, Matthew Sweet, that kind of style of 90s indie rock, you're definitely going to like this band.

Setting Sun, this is their sixth full-length EP, self-produced. just came out called The Feelings Cure The Feelings Hello The Cure This is the first single From the album It's called Good Die Young

Get ready for some sweet New York-style indie rock They say the good die rock They say the good die They say the good die young, but you're old and you're bad and you'll never even finish the song. You say you're one for one in losing. One day when you were young, you ran into a wall chasing a ball. It was a ping pong ball.

And then you went to war for none. And when it seems to seem like no one ever calls, I was the one to pick up the phone. They say the good die young, but you're old and you're old and you're bad and you're bad and you're and you'll never think to finish the song you'll just keep singing along to none na la la la la la la

flin and when it seems to seem like no one ever called oh I was the one to pick up the phone to say hello

but we don't know Roberto we'll go and I think you think it's fine when you just don't have the time to show

Roberto is it's thinking it's none of your stinking business where I'm going Margarita Roberto is very bored with this conversation. This is an unhappy Beanie. Damn it. Why does it do that?

It's only once in a while. It's going to irritate the hell out of me. Hey, that was great, Brian. Who was that band again so I know who to find later? Yeah, from their brand new album, The Feelings Cure, that is The Setting Sun and a song called I want to put Only the Good Die Young. It's just called Good Die Young. Not only The Just Good Die Young. Not a Billy Joel cover. No. But the Good Do Die Young, I don't like it. It's true. A lot of real A-holes out there just living, you know?

Just living forever. Just forever. Yeah. And some of them, well, never mind, am I getting into that. I'm going to throw myself a rope here. All right. Yeah, that's good, good. We are going to bring Bill in if I can remember how to do it. Here it is. We didn't have them last week, so it'll be nice to reconnect with the old feller somewhere. There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill?

Hey, look, it's that old feller Bill Duran joining us on a Tuesday to talk about making and making things and all that fun stuff. Bill, welcome back. Hello? Bill. Hello. He might be muted, Bill. He's in the call, but he might be muted. Muted this wrong microphone, perhaps.

Press all the buttons until we can hear you. All the buttons should be. Could be anything, really. Could be faulty. There it is. Oh, there you. Hello. Good deal.

Hi. How are you? It was an unplug and plug-back-in situation. Ah, we all have those occasionally. But it's nice to have you back. How are you, man? I'm doing good. Yeah.

Yeah, you had to be on a little extra time away from TMS, probably busy making something rad. Well, if I'm honest, I've been playing an awful lot of that new Zelda game. Yeah. Breath of the Wild 2.0. How far are you? And by that, I mean, are you still tinkering like a weirdo like everyone else? Or are you actually progressing in the story? How's it going?

I'm tinkering, and that's what I'd like to talk about today. All right. Great. Let's do it. I love it. Oh, yeah. So, obviously, video games, for my creative career, video games have been my muse. And this one is a good one. This is the kind of game where you play it, and it makes you want to build stuff in the real world. And I've been getting lots of ideas, and I want to talk about those ideas. I want to give you a glimpse into my mind when I'm going through these games.

All right. But I don't want to start with the disclaimer. I'm going to talk about some. ideas. I've been brainstorming, but this does not in any way permit me to making any of this stuff. So I don't want to hear people asking me when I'm going to build all this stuff. You want to weld a mining cart to a shield so you can use it as a skateboard. I know. I'm sure. Yeah.

And also, please feel free to take any of the ideas that run with them. I will not have enough time to make all this stuff. So the first obvious thing is, Props and costumes. This game, so many other games, are full of a wide arrangement of, especially costumes in this game, because you have all the different sets of armor. There's new ones, there's old ones, there's cosmetic ones to find down in the underdark, or whatever they're calling it. And then the weapons, there's a lot of cool weapons, and you can stick weapons to other weapons, which is also fun, which, again, opens the world of possibilities for things to make. In fact, you could make some real-world props, like hand-prop size, one-for-one things, and then make it so you can stick them together.

You'd be running around with DragonCon with a whole bunch of different things, different arrangements that you could set up. And I think that'd be really fun. Yeah, it would be really cool. You think you're going to see a lot of that this year, like a cosplay? Oh, I bet we are. Yeah. I bet you do too.

Yeah. That'd be cool. And of course, we have a new race. We have the Zonai, our buddy Rauru, that we meet early on. It's new space goats. New space goats, absolutely. I don't think I'll be making that as a costume, especially the hair. It would be hard to fit that in my suitcase.

But again, I bet someone's going to make that guy as a costume, and it would be extraordinary. Yeah. But props and costumes aside, there's a bunch of other really crazy, cool stuff I'd love to build. And this game has so many wacky things. First of all, I'm sure someone's actually done this before, but I had the idea to make link on his glider.

You know, you spend lots of time flying around on his glider. Yep. Build that as a drone. There's a little drone. You can fly your own link around, right? Yes. Yes. With that dangle in there?

Yeah. I love the look of that glider, too. I love flying around on a glider. Yeah, me too. I spend about 50% of my time in the air. Yeah, that's awesome. It's the only way to get around, too, especially when you get shot way up in the air

and you get a flyder over you watch. And not only that, people are finding really clever ways to shoot yourself up in the air with all the different Zonai devices. Right, a rocket attached to a shield or a rock or a rocket attached to a corrock. Those poor little guys have endured a lot of abuse. I also found out you can use a coroc as a platform for your vehicle. You can just stand on him and put a little. Yeah, you can use him as building devices. I've seen people collecting many Korox and sticking them together

and using them in fun and creative ways. Yeah, they're kind of a torture simulator for the four things. Yeah, yeah. They're durable. They're fine. Yeah, they're okay. So there's this whole crafting system in the game, and it is the thing that has really sparked a lot of ideas for me and many,

many other people. In fact, there's a subreddit called Hyrule Engineering. that is where all the craziest ideas are I'll drop a link in the in Discord for you there Oh my God So it's like combined All the things you can combine

To make cool things Oh and people are going insane Like I really need to get more battery slots for my Because I don't have a power to power these things People are building They're like recreating metal gear in this game Like full size mecks that shoot lasers and cannons and stuff Yeah

So if you want ideas, go through that subreddit and just see a bunch of the crazy stuff people are making. This guy made a boat that has a laser that shoots all the fish and then a scooper to scoop them all up. You just drive around in a lake. Wow.

Just murdering all the fish and then scooping them all up. So how the energy system in the game, it's like a little battery thing. Yeah. How do you maximize... Is there a way to maximize that more than I see it? Because that's the one downside. It feels like they're always running out of power of the stuff. Yeah. You have to collect a

kind of the zonite metal, and then you have to turn that in for crystallized charges, and then you have to turn those in to get more batteries. It's a little convoluted, but I'm working on it. I don't have enough. I need more. Yeah. I spend a lot of time down in the gloomy underside. Oh, my gosh, there's so much stuff here.

Holy crap. This bread is amazing. It's bananas. So, yeah, the one you're playing there, the guy used a fan and the recall thing just to be a cheap way to launch himself way up in the air. So clever. Yeah. So this got me thinking, someone else should do this.

I'm not going to do it. I don't have enough time. What if you built a little scale set of all these pieces that you could 3D print and put magnets in to have like a little toy set to make a build your own things? Yeah, yeah, that'd be cool. Love that. Like a couple fans and a, then some wheels and wood. Wood, little wood plank platform thing. Oh, totally.

Maybe Nintendo will steal your idea. You never know. Let's go for it. I'd be happy. I had the same thought about Astraneer. I would love to have a little toy set of all the vehicles in Astronair. You can snap together because it's so modular. Yeah.

So happy. Wow. All the little storage platforms and things like that. Yeah. Totally. All the little materials print out a bunch of little... A little tiny little resins and compounds. Yeah.

That would be so good. That one, and I would love to build... That's been on my list for forever since I first played Astroneer. is an RC rover that I get to stick little things to yeah dude this is great I want uh why don't you this should be one of your things print a thing show that it works Nintendo will call you I'm sure and say Bill let's get together right you live there in Washington the Nintendo of America I've been there yeah you know all of you and you know I have I have friends there I haven't in all right we're done deal everybody watch for

this hot line of Nintendo toys they're going to bring him to to real life. Oh, yeah. Coming soon. So I mentioned the Korox. So there's the Korox with little backpacks that they can't move because their backpacks are so heavy. And I think they're hysterical.

I love the, you got to bring them to their friend. My friend is over there. Help. Yeah, the fun creative ways people are using and I've been using to get them over there. I like to just stick them to the harness on my horse, just drag in there. It seems to be the fastest way. Just going, oof, the whole time. Or making a put,

one on a wheel. He didn't like that, but it got us there. It just rotates and yeah. Just oh, ooh, ooh! Oh, my God. Hilarious. But I would love to build a full size one of those guys like inflatable

like an inflatable balloon sort of thing with a weight on the bottom so he's kind of like a weeble wobble. Just leave a couple of those around Dragon Con for people to just, you know, bounce around and kick around and get them to their friends. Yeah, yeah, for sure.

To their friends. I figure you could sew like an outer pouch for it, a lightweight outer pouch and then just blow up a balloon or a beach ball inside of him there and have yourself your own inflatable corrock. You should do it. You should be the guy at Dragon Con to do it. That's a maybe. We'll see. I'm not sewing as kind of my Achilles heel.

Oh, yeah. And then my last idea here, there's the Zonai Constructs, and I think those would make extraordinary puppets. the sort of mechanical dudes you have to fight or sometimes there's nice ones you can talk to. Yes. Oh, yeah. That it's like they expand out with their love mix and stuff. Yeah. It would be a really difficult costume because they have so much negative space and they don't have legs. But I think as a puppet, that would be so cool. That will look really cool. Yeah. That's awesome. So these, I am now releasing these ideas into the public domain.

Yep. The word's out now. So, uh, no. We don't need to pay bill. Just maybe give them a little bit of credit for the idea. Just say, hey, this is inspired by a dude on a show. Absolutely. More importantly, if you do make anything like this or anything from the new Zelda game, just tweet them at me. I just want to see these ideas.

Yeah. And this Reddit, do go, everybody. It's high rule engineering. This subreddit is amazing. Oh, the one you're playing right now, I had so much trouble fighting those guys with swords and stuff. This guy's a flying meck raining laser hellfire from the sky. It was a much better way to do it.

Yeah, that's the way. See, that's what's crazy. The game has no set solutions. That's so impressive to me. So few games let you do that where there is progression. And you'll think your idea is janky, right? You'll go, I don't, this isn't going to work. But then it does, and you're like, what?

Freaking, I made it. Bill, always cool stuff from you. Very inspirational. Do you have a bonus link for us this week? I do. This is a new YouTube channel to me. This is a guy out of the U.K. He has a channel called New Yorkshire Workshop, and he is a carpenter.

Oh, wow. This specific video, he's building a plywood sink basin for his own house. He's got this ancient house in the UK that he's been updating. And building things out of plywood is really cool because it's so accessible. He's made this really gorgeous sink out of it. Oh, yeah. Look at all this stuff. oh wow you know what he's doing here he's making it um what is this new yorkshire

okay making a 13000 euro or pound table i guess turntable is this for like a record table hold on i think it's for uh laving right or maybe not is it hold on i know it's an actual record player it is an actual record player he's making this oh what look at that beautiful thing uh-huh a lot of plywood and like a fancy veneer it looks like wow some chrome stuff okay well he's next level this guy jeez louises all right can use that guy when the zombies come

hey bill it's been nothing but pleasure to have you on as usual people need to check out punish props.com if they haven't already and subscribe to your YouTube channel we'll see you next Tuesday already see you guys bye now bill bye now bill bye bye all right I have word

putting that link up for folks who visit QuickTMS.L.I. Very nice. I do like that size. All right. Let's do some of this. Science. Bob is hungry and the soup looks good.

Oh, it went quiet for some reason. I can't figure what's going on on this thing. You're having so much fun with the new Farrague. Yeah, it's working great. Hey, Bobby, Frankenberger. Welcome back to the show and let's do some science. What do you say about that? I say that.

That's amazing. You know, I, too, have been playing a lot of Zelda. Yeah? Yeah. Been noticing it on your, on your be real. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that's usually what I'm doing when it pops up because I'm playing it all the time. So I wanted to talk to you about the elemental properties of choo-choo jelly.

What? No, I'm just kidding. Is that really a thing in the game, Ch-choo Jail? That's really a thing, Choo-Chi-Jelly. You know, ch-choo's, they've been in the game forever. The little slime blob things that jump around. Sure, sure. I need to

I don't have the game yet but I've been watching my daughter play it and the reason I don't have it yet I told Brian this already but normally I'd be right on this but I have five copies floating around my household my three kids plus two others

that I know of are all in and out of here with that game all the time really someone's gonna fall off of it someone's gonna get bored someone's gonna not finish someone's gonna have to go on a trip and I'm gonna take their cartridge that's how that's gonna work

I wanted to play I love Zelda's my favorite franchise of all time but it's a I want I wanted to be able to play it so bad I we almost bought two here because my daughter is really into it as well and we bought the physical ones because we have more than one switch you know or we bought the one physical chip because of having more than one switch and I almost bought two so that I would not so I would not have to take turns yeah see this is the problem does it do the saves locally and then when they run it

But the saves aren't on the cartridge, right? That's no, it's independent from the thing. Okay. So I just need one of my kids to just get sick of it or something. Problem is, the game's so good, they're not. I mean, good luck having the most highly rated video game of all time and have my kids get sick of it. Damn it.

It's so massive that, you know, they're, you know, even if they get tired of completing challenges or quests or anything like that, there is so much just exploration that they can do. Yeah, I should just get it. I don't know. I don't even know why it's that big a deal. It's 70 bucks. It's not cheap, but knowing there are five of them floating around. It's just like, why am I doing this? Anyway. Yeah. Yeah. But that's probably not what you brought with you today. What did you really bring? What are you doing? I wanted to talk to you about diapers and concrete. Sweet. Okay. I'll see you. Yep. Bye. Bye. Bye, everyone. That sounds great. How are those two connected? I wonder. So there's a research team

Yeah, well, the choo-choo jelly Yeah, Hylian bass, I don't know, Sizzlefin trout The There's a research team in Japan that's reporting that they've used diapers To incorporate it into concrete Without reducing its structural integrity at all So a way to recycle used diapers Oh my gosh

Yeah, but won't there be a problem later Where it's like A smell? Yeah, well, What's wrong with your house? It smells weird. You know what I mean? Or if they figured that part out.

What's wrong with your M&M store? Why does it smell like a baby's diaper? Yeah, exactly. That's really what's going on over there. So finding ways to make concrete more environmentally friendly is that's been a huge goal people have had for decades, right? Because concrete is not great for the environment. It's an amazing structural, it's amazing material to use. use for construction, it's enabled us to, some would argue that it was one of the factors

that made the Roman Empire so successful is concrete, or at least why things have lasted for as long as they have. And we've only improved upon the concrete in small ways since then, right? Yeah. But the process of making concrete puts a ton of CO2 into the atmosphere. I didn't know that. Why is that exactly? I didn't realize that was a thing. Well, concrete is The, what it's, so concrete is made up of two main parts. You've got the, the cement.

Many people don't know that cement and concrete are different things. Cement is one of the components of concrete. The other stuff is the aggregate, which is, so basically, concrete is just a bunch of, if you really want to simplify it, it's just a bunch of small rocks being held together with concrete. Yeah. So concrete is, uh, or I'm sorry, held together with cement got to use my terms correctly sure um but the cement itself the process of making that it's a chemical process it's a the main components of cement are lime and clay

and you increase the heat of the like you you heat those up to thousands of degrees uh and it chemically changes them and just that chemical reaction and the heating up and that whole process just releases a bunch of CO2 into the atmosphere it's it's one of the byproducts of the chemical reaction that's going on. Interesting. Okay. So, and the whole process is just very exothermic and puts a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere. It's one of the major contributors, I think, to how much carbon we have in the atmosphere, actually.

So it's, it's a big thing, a big problem that, that people want to solve. And so even the UN a few decades ago sort of like laid down some suggested building codes to have concrete, have, less environmental impact and also to decrease its cost, which is kind of illustrates the the like competing issues with concrete. The one that it's bad for the environment and two, that it's very good for like architecture and construction and everything. The reason they wanted to decrease the cost of producing concrete is because a lot of Developing nations who want to, it would benefit them to have low cost building materials like concrete that are easy to make, you know. Sure, that makes sense.

And we sure use a lot of that, right? Because concrete is like, I don't know, I don't know what to compare this to to any other era of humanity. But it's like the very foundation, for lack of a better term, of how we build everything today. I mean, quite literally. Basic building block. Yes. Yeah, it's like literally foundation. The foundation in your home is made of concrete, almost certainly.

Yeah. I guess I don't ever, I've never really had to think about how it was made or, you know. Yeah. Yeah. And it's, it's been made that way forever. The Romans developed this lime and clay process, right? Ancient Romans. Sure.

And, but, but it's, it's, it's not great for the environment. Anyway, so the idea is if you can add some, if you can find a way to either, cut down on the footprint of concrete on the environment, or you can use the process of making concrete as a means to recycle something else, then that helps to benefit overall. There's so much concrete that is used, wouldn't it be great if you could use one of the materials in the concrete as a recycled material? So I guess, I'm just speculating here, but I guess that's why they decided to try diapers? I don't know. Well, to renew it more is just a way of recycling diapers or using diapers that, you know, it doesn't help. It doesn't reduce what it takes to produce concrete, but it makes you use less concrete because you're supplementing with diapers. And so that's the, that's the offset. Well, it reduces the amount of aggregate because it's the, the diapers that you're using are replacing the aggregate. So you're holding, right, you're holding the diaper. You're holding the diaper. You're holding the diaper.

together instead of gravel. Yeah, no, it's time to like two birds, one stone, though, right? Because we're going to keep pooping out the diapers and we're going to need the concrete if you can figure out a way to take one horribly non-renewable thing that we throw away every day and use it in a place that is also known for, I don't know, its impact on the environment. And so that would be less. Yeah, why not? Why not combine?

Exactly. Because disposable diapers also are something that are filling up landfills, right? Yeah. So, yeah. So they did this in Japan. The whole process is they, first, to answer your initial jokey question, they sanitize the diapers. They put it in like a high concentration solution of sodium chloride, which is just the fancy way of saying salt. It's a very briny solution they put it in.

I guess that kills all the bacteria. Then they dry out them, and then they shred them up, and then throw them into the concrete mixture. Okay. And they found that they were able to use as much, they were able to replace as much as 10% of the aggregate in the concrete that's used for structural components, like in roads or load-bearing walls. They could replace as much as 10% without compromising the integrity of the concrete.

And for non-structural concrete, so things for like non-load-bearing walls, or like cement pavers on the ground or something. something like that. They could do as much as 40% of that. Oh, wow. And not compromise the integrity of the concrete itself. Wow. So I like this. It's a great idea. Yeah. You know? Okay. Here's a practical question, though. Now you got to figure out how to get all the diapers and separate them from everything else. Do you... Well, that's true. Yeah. So what's that look like? Like, do we have to... Like, do they just send people into landfills to go pick out the diapers?

Yeah, yeah. Like, I don't know how you sift through the existing stuff or even have a plan for the future where everyone is, I don't know, there are new cans that everybody tosses them in. Then you start talking about huge costs and tax dollar stuff. You know, you, that's really smart, Scott. You have the right brain for that because these are what are called like externalized costs that are not directly related, but other externalized costs that contribute to like what is the end to end process? look like because if you have to create you know drop you know because it's not unreasonable to think that people would be able to to hold on to these dirty diapers and then and drop them somewhere because you know you've got like diaper pails if you've got if you've ever had kids and you've got grandkids now so like you've got it's you don't just throw it into your trash anymore i mean you can but most people usually get these like diaper genies or or some trash can that is that is designated for dirty diapers.

Right. So you've already got them. Yeah. Right. So you've already got them. That's exactly what they look. That is the perfect description. Definitely does.

Yeah. But that is that you've already got them sort of segregated from your, from your regular trash. So it's not unreasonable to think you could just easily dump them into these drop boxes. But like you said, Scott, if that's going to create, you're going to have to build an infrastructure, drop points for these things, then maybe people have to drive trucks to go pick up. up like is that going to cause more trucks on the road like all sorts of are is scaling this up going to create you know like like what about the sanitiz sanitizing centers for these diapers and right and stuff like that is that going to create um is scaling it up going to create problems that kind of make this a wash or or is it actually going to that's that's where

whenever you have a new technology that's where the rubber hits the road rubber meets the road is that is when you go to scale it up right so if you said if you suddenly had a initiative that said all right everybody government funded buckets and they're out in front and every Tuesday you're going to take all your diapers and put them out on the road and then we're going to come pick them up specialized pickups and take them to a specific place and then haul them all over the country like the more I say those words the more the money adds up right starts to really pile up and I don't know if they could ever go that far. So that's always this big issue of renewables. It's like we have,

on the one hand, we want everybody to have their own little plod of peddle in, have a house or an apartment or whatever it is, and you're all doing your thing. And we haven't really thought ahead to like, how do we automate that? Things like this, you know. But what it does say to me, and I don't know how much people have been doing this for a long time. And the only reason we're hearing about this one is because it's funny. It's about diapers, you know. It's a seems funny um but what it does say is that to me is that oh well maybe this won't work but i'd never thought about the fact that maybe we should try a lot of different things as aggregate and concrete you know part of me wonders why do they choose diapers right but

but it's the reason i wonder that is because well is concrete just being like could you just use that as a as a trash can sort of like like something somewhere to show shove something that you don't want in a landfill, could you just shove it into concrete to, and it's still, and the concrete still be okay? Right. You know, so maybe this is just the, some early steps in rethinking other things that we don't want it. Like maybe could we shred up plastic and put it into concrete as an aggregate?

How would that? Yeah, maybe we're getting to the point you could take an entire landfill and just shred it. you know the guts of all landfills like if it's all mushed up enough maybe the main cost is just well what's this weird hardware that'll do that and what's the chemical process to run it through so it's not toxic caustic or otherwise whatever and then then it's just a matter of shipping it to whoever makes concrete right right right that could be profitable that could actually be a profitable thing like i could see that being a moneymaker for somebody instead of a huge draw on public resources So, yeah, that sounds great.

When I'm older and I got the adult diapers, I hope by then they'll be putting me in concrete. That'd be cool. Yeah, that's what you should do, though, is you should just turn it into your adult diapers into concrete. Yeah, that's my plan. Build your grandchildren a house. Yeah, well, by them we'll be three-D printing it out of used diapers.

That'll be the plan. Well, likely. Yep. Brian won't be buying filament. We'll be buying diapers. I'll be buying diapers and I'll have a filament, a diaper filament producer. The hot end will be your butthole.

That's right. Perfect. Perfect. That's what you want. Well, well done, Bobby, as always. I love hearing stuff like this. I don't know, feel like this stuff doesn't ever surface in the mainstream news, you know? Well, that's where I find it in the science news.

That's right. That's where you come in and boldly go. That's where I'm in the science news so you don't have to be, right? Damn straight. Speaking of which, let's tell people where your cool science podcast is. and what you guys are talking about this week. We have a podcast called All Around Science. My co-host, Mora, and I talk about just whatever is,

whatever we find interesting in science that week. And this past one, the one that just came out yesterday, we talked about, speaking of plastics, I did a whole feature on microplastics and what they are. But in terms of, because there's some news that came out, some research that was done on a recycling. plant, like a plastic recycling plant, where they found out

that while you might be recycling the plastic in that plant, it turns out that that plant might be spewing so much millions and billions of pounds of microplastics into the environment. I don't like that.

No. That's not good. Not something that we really planned for or thought ahead about. And Moira on the show makes the makes the comment the the comparison that microplastics really might be the the leaded the lead of our generation of our current time you know wow yeah and that's an interesting way of looking at it's the asbestos of 2023 exactly right because it's so obviously so tiny yeah yeah that's another good comparison something that lead and asbestos both materials that were were like really huge Boone's material science advances that were like, yay, this is amazing. And then we don't find out until it's fully incorporated into our environment, how bad it is.

Hopefully we're smarter about that moving forward. Do you know if this stuff floating off of Canada is anything I should worry about? Is it all just trees and shit? Or do we know what's burning up there? Well, it's definitely trees. And I actually have been asking more a lot about that because those fires are very, are very close to where she lives. Oh, right.

Like, very, very close. Like, I'm checking in as often as I can to be like, you're not, you're not on fire yet, are you? Because that's, I hope you are not. Like, that's how close it is that I'm worried about it daily. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we'd like her not to be on fire.

If we can help that, that would be great. Well, all right, then. More over there, all around science. Find it wherever you get your podcast. Bobby, a pleasure has been hours by having you here. Oh, thanks. I don't know if you felt it, too, but we felt the plate. Damn it, Discord, you did the thing again.

Freaking Discord. I'm still here. Why does it do that? It sometimes doesn't. Sometimes doesn't. I don't understand. All right. Science.

There, I kicked him on. Finally, it kicks him out, but it reboots everything. That doesn't make any sense to me. Of course. Of course. Bastard thing. Oh, maybe it's the days I said it to another region that it doesn't do it. Oh, right.

because it's always Bobby in the South or something. Yeah. All right. I may have learned something there. That's an interesting correlation. Yeah. Let's find out if it is also causation. We'll do that off there.

Right. Yeah. That's going to do for today's show, except I do have a text I want to read real quick and a quick reminder. The text goes like this. This is from Infected Mind. He says in episode 2449, the first week of April, I'm behind in listening. You talked about liking women versus men doctors.

I think it was me in particular. Mm-hmm. Yep. My hypothesis is that for, sorry, is the reason some people, guys and or guys presenting may like them better is that they may perceive them to be more compassionate than men due to the many older generation of men growing up not allowed to have feelings. I've thought about that, but I didn't, I wasn't raised that way. You're not, you're not, right, you're not, you grew up in a family that was compassionate regardless. regardless of gender. Your dad was just as compassionate as your mom was. Yeah, maybe even more so

than my mom. No offense mom, but maybe a little bit more. I don't think in this case, I'm not saying this isn't sometimes the case for some people, but I think in my case it's not that. I don't, honestly I don't know what it is. And I don't somebody also wrote and said, maybe it's because you're, you just, you know,

I don't think you're much of a homophobe, but maybe you got just a little bit of a nervousness about the homophob business. I don't want a doctor, man, doctor, touch. you know like kind of a George getting a massage kind of problem I don't think that's it either

I don't have it doesn't that's not what it's not even like it repels me it's just sure is a lady cool let's do that yeah I don't know I don't know I don't feel this way about dentistry but maybe that's because I've never seen a female

dentist in my life I know they exist oh really never seen one you know um we had one I was trying to think I've ever had one yeah we had one when uh Tristan was younger the perfect smiles or someplace that was really close to our house that we went to

and she was really good except she had to show Tristan would not let you put anything into his mouth unless you showed it to him and he looked at it got it first right so hold on what you put in my mouth this needle to numb your gum so that we can do stuff with your teeth

does he still do that today? Is he still a lot he's completely fine from that stuff but boy that freaked out that that's the first time that he put up his hands while she was coming in with a with a hypodermic needle. Like, oh, whoa, can't do that. Yeah, no, he was taking

charge of his own life. I like it. Well, anyway, thanks for the text infected mind. If you want to send one like him, you can 801-47-10462 is that number, or you can email us the morning stream at gmail.com. Quick reminder about our Discord. Lots of fun in there. We just gave away a one-terabyte Samsung SSD drive

for free. That's cool. Big thanks and courtesy of the folks over at doghouse systems more of that and other smaller stuff coming there's always something to give away in fact uh tanner our good pal tanner in our uh in our community gave away two copies of breath of the wild or sorry tears of the kingdom tears the kingdom yeah yeah and uh that was just recently as well so if you want to be a part of that you just join our discord it doesn't take anything to get in there it's no there's no door or password or anything weird you just go frogpants dot com slash discord join us today and uh hang out with the community and have a good time

it's a good place to be. All right. That's going to do it for us without mentioning this, or I do have to mention this, Patreon.com slash TMS is how the show is fueled. It's how the engine runs. Without you and your occasional contributions, there is no show. So please continue that. Those who are there, and if you haven't joined yet, it's never been easier. Patreon.com slash TMS. That's going to do it. Let's get out of here. Brian, you have music to play to go.

Yeah, I have songs. I have a song. By the way, Tanner, now in John. Japan and sending photos and I'm so freaking jealous. I wish I was there right now. Yeah, it seems to have a good time already. Yeah. Good for it. All right. Pirate Ian wrote in and said, hi, saggy and bottom.

This year, I'm turning the ripe old age of 40. A pirate looks at 40. Just dawned at me. And was hoping to get a song to celebrate. NoFX was a staple of my youth and they recently did a split with Frank Turner. Anything off? That would be great, but I leave the decision. In your

more than capable hands, can I get a honk, ah. Love the show, though, Pirateean. I bet we can. I was just looking at that file, and I found it the other day. Hold on. It's right here. Okay. There you go. There it is right there. And it's his 40th birthday, Scott. You know what that means. Oh, that means this. Let's party. Happy birthday. Perfect. Well done. So there were no covers, unfortunately, on that no effects, Frank Turner split, but I did find a no effects cover that I haven't played on the show before. I'm really surprised. This is by a band I really like called Streetlight Manifesto.

Go listen to Hammond's in my episode of Soundography all about, oh, I'm forgetting the guy's name that's been in all these other things and Streetlight Manifesto being one of those. Anyway, they did a cover of No Effects's Linolium and included on their 2010 all-cover album, 99 songs for a revolution. Oh, my gosh, it did it again. Sorry, ignore that. Frick. Sorry, go ahead, Brian. No worries. Anyway, Streetlight Manifesto on their 99 songs of a Revolution album from 2010. Included this cover of Linolium by No FX.

Here it is right now. All right. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Possessions never meant anything to me. Yeah, I'm not crazy. It's not true, I've got a bed A Nuggetar And a dog named Babu Biss is on my floor

That's right, I've got a floor So what, so what, so what? Yeah, I've got Fockets full up, Kleenex and linen holes Where everything important to me Just seems to far right down the leg And on to the floor My closest friend, linoleon, linoleon, supports my head, gives me something to believe.

That's me, I'm the beachside, covered the sand, metal meter in my end, swir in a pocket full of change. That's me on the street with a violin under my chin, playing with a grin, singing gibberish That's me You're the fact Of the bust That's me in the south That's me inside your head

That's me inside your head That's me inside your head That's me inside your head Thank you. that's me you're the back of the bus that's me in the cell that's me inside your hand that's me inside your hand a very good chance you will like all the shows on the Frog Pants Network.
