Ladies and gentlemen, this commercial is going to use subliminal advertising. It depends on you. Ladies and gentlemen, this commercial... The morning stream. Would you like a closer look? Everything's popping off this morning. everybody. Welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream for June 13th,

2023. We got a couple of threes in there today. It's the 13th. That's why, Scott, right there. The 13th, yeah. I have to say, I admired Blizzard's announcement of how much they sold of Diablo 4 over over the first five days because it was exactly $66

million. Get out, really? Yeah. And it was released, technically released on the 6th, even some of us got early access to it. So they're really leaning into the whole number of the beast business, you know. Released on six, six, twenty, three. But if you take twenty, twenty, three, and you add, you multiply the two times the three, you get six. Yeah, that's it.

No matter, you know, look, not, we can't always have a. As we know, if you multiply the three by the two, you get six. You're not going to wait until 20266 to release your game. So you've got to do what you got to do. I think, oh, yeah, I'm over on Third Eagle's streaming currently. He's actually, he's only level 14. He's got a level 14 necromancer. Oh, fantastic.

Fantastic. Boy, imagine what that guy could see in the subtext, you know? I just find it to be a harmless video game. I, you know, I'd hope he'd do that, but I don't think he'd do that. I think he'd say... Not even a small chance. Yeah, I killed an undead today, and he reminds me of the leopard. Anyway.

Exactly. We're here to do a show, you guys, and as often is the case on Mondays and Wednesdays, Brian brings quizzes to the show, but because today's a Tuesday, I thought, you know what, I'm going to sneak something in between. I'm going to put a little something in here. Yeah. This is for you, though. This is a quiz for you, Brian.

Oh, good. What can I win? Can I win Steam game, Scott? Yes, you can take a code. of your choice in this in our steam library of codes um it's a little bit weird and that it's not an actual quiz i'm going to kind of make it up as i go but basically i'm going to give you some some strange facts about animals but do it in quiz form oh cool so i'll ask you things like you know i'll throw one away here um how about this one uh do do uh do what do owls see with and then you would

say their eyes. You'd say their eyes, but you would be wrong because they have eye tubes. They don't have eyeballs. They have eye tubes? Yeah. Now, technically you'd be right if you said eyes because that's still an eye, right? It's their visual, whatever. But they call them eye tubes. They actually go back. There's no ball. It's just like this thing. Yeah. All right? Yeah, for real. So that's a really weird one. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. I got L.I tubes. Yeah. I've never heard of such a thing. Yeah. They're like little like little, uh, They're elongated tubulars. There you go.

Yeah. Like a flat, like a, huh, interesting. Yeah. Weird, right? Yeah. Those birds never, those birds, every time I hear something about an owl, I'm freaked out. Every time. It's like, oh, have you seen their legs?

No, I'm sure they're fine. Ah! Have you seen their legs? They're horrifying. When they lift up their skirt and they show their full legs, it is the weirdest thing. Have you seen them? Boy, I know of any field mice near here. It's really odd.

Like, let me find a weird one. I mean, they've got, yeah, they're, I mean, they're just feather-covered talon legs. Yeah, but by the way, that kind of explains why they, you never see owls like move their eyes left or right, their eyes, you know, inside their sockets left and right, because they can't, right? Because the two's. The way their eyes are shaped, so they have to always just move their head. their pupils stay in the dead center. They're like the internet. There's a series of tubes in there.

A series of tubes. I have no idea. This is already learning something new. I feel like a better man. Look at those crazy legs. All right. Here comes more information. More data.

All right. Here's one. What color is, if you were to shave them, what color is the skin of a polar bear? Oh, black, I believe. I believe their skin is black. That is correct. nicely done. It says it's black skin. It helps to absorb heat from the sun to stay warm in the Arctic climate. So it likely protects the bear from harmful UV rays. They've evolved to

sort of do that. So that's why. That's right. All right. How about this one? And their fur is actually not really white. It's semi-translucent. Like it's a cream color. Oh, right. Yeah. And their hair is gross. Their outer stuff is gross. They look like pee. They look like pee. They look like urine. Yeah. I don't like it. Pea-soaked nightmares. They don't look like the why it's it's really because their fur is translucent that they don't look but they're not really white right and if they looked as good as they do in the coke commercials then we'd all be happy but that's just if they were as friendly too yeah that's misleading yeah very misleading thanks a lot coke all right here's one how many hearts does an octopus have oh well let's see link has my currently link has six um i'm trying to get more right you're always trying to get one more heart if you can get it yeah um

I believe they have nine, one for each tentacle and one for their brain. Incorrect. Is it eight? Three total hearts. Three, okay. One pumps flood around. There's something that they have multiple, like a squid or something or some other kind of. No, no, no.

Octopus, maybe they have like nine brains or something. They have nine something. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, maybe. Maybe they got like little, they got the main brain, right, the big knobby brain. And then they got eight little brains out in the. Out in the reaches. Is it brains?

Anyway, okay, so three hearts. Three hearts total. One pumps blood around the body. The other two pump it to the gills. And also, their hearts are blue. Oh, really? I'm sorry, their blood is blue. And I said heart.

Like Clingons. Yeah, a little bit like Clingons are green, but same, same deal, right? They cut into them and it'd be like, oh my gosh, what's this blue liquid? It's their blood. Blood? Yeah. Blue blood. Yes, nine brains, by the way.

Nine brains. That's crazy. A fucking bag of organs, basically, is what they are. They're like a Klingon. All right. They are. If you were to have to charge or continually have your brain plugged in, the human brain. Sure.

About how many watts are needed to operate the human brain. Oh, geez. The equivalent electricity would be required. Sure. Well, let's see. The light over here is kind of dim. 40-watt light bulb. I think it's going to be more than that.

I'm going to say 2,000. 2,000 watts? You're going to be shocked. The answer is 15 watts. 15 watts, so less than this little 40-watt light bulb I have a next one. You need very little power to run your brain. Jeez. It turns out.

Good news. Octopuses need nine times that. So ha, octopuses. The way I'm going to ask this next one is probably going to give it away. But I'll do it anyway. What do butterflies taste with? Oh, their feet. A lot of flying insects taste with their feet.

That is correct. This is interesting. Females select the correct leaf on which to lay eggs by drumming it with their feet, and they release these little juices, and it all contributes to them tasting with their feet. Really? So is it gross to you? Like, will you now not let a butterfly land on you because, you know, it's tasting you?

No, I don't mind. Let them taste me. I'm here to be tasting. It's not a problem. We have a place here in not too far from me, Westminster, real close to Ravada, called the Butterfly Pavilion. And the outer rooms are all like, hey, have a tarantula, walk on your hand, and oh, over here's some hissing cockroaches and blah, blah, blah. But then this big center atrium area with all this light and all this space is the actual butterfly pavilion. And you go in there and it's just like butterflies flying all over the place and cocoons over here.

and these might be hatching and... That sounds like fun. Sounds great. I'd take the end of that. Yeah, we have a thing similar to that, but not nearly that many butterflies. It's like, I don't know, maybe 30. Oh, yeah.

It's all spread out. It's nothing compared to that. I'm coming. I'm going there. Come here. Let the butterflies your taste. That's right. Come here, Van.

We're going on our road trip. Okay, pops. All right, check this out. Let's see. Oh, how much stronger is a dog sense of smell than that of you and I. So you're looking for a multiple, like 10 times stronger kind of thing. Yeah.

Not percentage, but like, yeah, times. Yeah. Sense of smell. Boy, it's like, it's probably 30 times. Let's look at it. Is it 30 times? It is 100,000 times. Shut up.

100,000 times? According to this. I was thinking, I was thinking I'm going to go 100,000. hundred times, and nope, that's going to be ridiculous. They're going to laugh at me for going as high as I did. Yep, but we have six times the taste buds than they do. Shut up, really? Yeah, that's weird, right?

Oh, that is weird. I thought the dogs would have had better sense of taste as well. I would have also. I guess not, because they lick their own butts. They have no taste at all. Oh, good point, right? Yeah. I don't know.

I was thinking about this yesterday because Ripley's out there sniffing away at Rainer's butt. I'm thinking, what would it take for humans to just be cool with that? you know and i don't i don't have a good scenario my hair where it works it doesn't work mr friendly greeting hey welcome to tmsv yeah yeah just check him out did you change your diet you're still great and have that be totally normal and not a weird thing at all like i don't know what society would have to go through to make that happen but um all right this is interesting what color let's see is that that that's kind of hard uh all right well all right there's only

Okay, reindeer, actual reindeer, not the, not the faky kind with the red noses. Sure. Like, real reindeer. Their eyeballs, their eyeballs turn a specific color in the wintertime and no other mammals are known to have this ability that they know of. What color do they turn? Only in the winter. Reindeer's eyeballs turn a certain color in the wintertime.

Yeah, and it's to help them see it lower light if that helps because there's lower light in those parts of the world. I mean, I guess black. but um eyeballs are black how would that benefit how would that benefit how would changing any certain color benefit yeah i'm going to say black because it would sure be weird if it was white is it black it's blue weirdly blue really yeah i don't know uh they're golden colored in the summer

by the way so there's uh that's the deal there but i would actually think it'd be the opposite just practically i'd go oh blue better for sun somehow i don't know why but i'd For some reason, I would do blue then, and then the brighter orangey color I would do in the nighttime where now you need to see better. I don't know why my brain goes the other way, but anyway. That's really wild. Okay. No idea why. What does a spider have?

No, hold on. That's a bad way to ask that. I have to make these up. Okay, I'll do this one. A single strand of spider silk is thinner than a human hair. So a human hair. Spider silk thinner, but is a certain time stronger than a piece of steel of the same width? How much stronger is a spider silk than a steel, like a hair made of steel?

Right. If you had a piece of steel that was as thin as a spider or a single strand of spider's silk, how much stronger would the spider's silk be? Right. That one I'm going to go with a hundred times because I like a good round hundred times. Let's check it out. Five times. That one's a lot closer to what you're thinking of the other one. Spiders, you suck.

It says here it goes on to say a rope of just two inches thick. Spider silk could stop a Boeing 747. That's crazy. That's crazy. All right, here's one. Okay, let me read this right. Okay. Why? Let's see, I'll ask it this way.

Oh, good. Why is rat poison so effective against rats and other vermin? Or, what would you call those? Not just vermin, but like, what are squirrels and chipmunks? Rodents, there you go, that's I was looking for. Vermin feels mean. I know, vermin. So rodents, why is it so effective against rodents,

but other, like, dogs and stuff, they can make it through. Why is that? Because of Retson. The cool, refreshing effect of Retson? Cool, refreshing breath freshener has the opposite effect on rats. Oh, my gosh, you're right. Just kidding. Go ahead.

So why does rat poison? I don't know how rat poison kills rats. I figured it was just like stops their heart, poisons them. I don't know. That's what I thought. Same. Hard same. I thought the same thing. It's like, oh, okay. But I was so wrong on this. Wow. Well, I hate the fact that the chat room is talking about dehydrating their animal, dehydrating the rats.

I hate looking over there. It's all right. They're helping you. They're helping. That's fine. Let's say that's it. All right. Is that it? No, that is not it. Here's what it is. Squirrels and other rodents. They use squirrels as an example, but it works for rats. Can't burp or vomit. none of them. They can none of them have that ability. So they can't chew out the poison once they've ingested it.

Correct. So dogs or cats, if they run into it, they'll hork it before they... I mean, some of them will still die because, you know, maybe it's a lot or whatever, but they can get it out of there and maybe survive. I'd never knew that. So literally, this line says, squirrels can't burp or vomit. What a great little bit of knowledge there.

You ever seen a burping squirrel? No, you have not. No, but I kind of wish, you know, I figure it's like they can water ski, why can't they burp? It just doesn't feel fair. Exactly. All right, here's how do I ask this? All right, there used to be a penguin on the planet called the Colossus penguin.

This is a gigantic penguin. Sure. It was just one. What famous basketball star is the exact height of the average colossus penguin? Shut up. There's a, no way.

There's a basketball player that, like, there's a penguin at one time that was as tall as any basketball player? Yeah, well, as a very... Who's the little shorty guy? LeBron? Is LeBron the short, little shorty guy? No, you're thinking of... Who am I thinking of? LeBron's big.

You're thinking of, well, who was he back in the day, the little runty guy that was in NBA Jam, or the Space Jam? Meadow Lark Lemon. That's what I'm going to say. Let's see, is that right? No, that is incorrect. It was actually LeBron James. It was LeBron James. Who is, I guess I should look that up.

So I guess it's not really a shirty guy. It was just a really tally penguin. A very tall penguin. Let's see. LeBron James' height. Why can I find this? Oh, 6-8. 6.8 and a half.

Wow. Really? So it was a 6-foot-inch tall penguin. A nearly 7-foot-tall penguin. Can you imagine that? I can't imagine that. Was he still, was he like just super skinny, or was he still as a wide? Like he looked like Totoro or something.

It doesn't actually say. Let's see if I got a photo or anything that's like comparative. No, they don't have anything. It'd have to be a drawing because it's extinct, but. That's, that's freaking nuts. By the way, basketball kind of a big topic today here in Denver. Yeah. There are nuggets.

One, for the first time ever in franchise history. Yeah. Made it to the finals for the first time ever in franchise history. and then nearly swept the Miami heat. Yeah, pretty crazy. I feel like it all happened. It was in the audience. Didn't it feel like it was all a little quiet?

Just all of this? Didn't it feel like the NBA finals? No, because it was absolutely nuts here in Denver. It's all over the place. Like every billboard, every single thing out there. As it should be, yeah. When the jazz would do good stuff in the 90s, you know, we'd lose our minds. But outside of that, it just feels like the NBA,

stuff is quieter than usual. I feel like I heard more about Stanley Cup than I did basketball this year for whatever reason. Maybe it's because... Oh, that's interesting. I mean, we, the Avalanche, what, got kicked out in the second round of the playoffs, I think. Yeah. Maybe Vegas was taken out. Vegas is why.

Yeah. The Golden Knights did really well. Yeah. And the fact that we're, you know, that's the closest we have to a team. Well, I guess you're closer. No, Vegas is closer. I think Vegas is closer to you guys now. Yeah. So there are, there are sort of team now.

And that A's deal may not go through, it turns out. There's a big stink over there in Vegas. Oh, really? The Oakland A's may not be moving to Vegas? Yeah, there's some big hold up with the local government tax, something, this and that, building the thing. There's some big hold up. And so if that happens, the rumor is that there are possible buyers here in Salt Lake City that want to put them out in that new big old space. They want to build a stadium out near the airport. So there's talk and make him here.

If we got a freaking MLB team, I would go to games. I love, I love live baseball. I love it. The Utah's. Yeah, the Utah's. The Utah's. No, wait, we can't do that.

We got to have Z's in there like everything else. We got Brisleys. Well, it'll be the Utah A's. A's. Azee. Utah A's. The athletics. They'll call it.

All right, one final one, Brian. If you were to see a common honeybee, which, you know, good for the environment. I often do see a common honeybee. Oh, that's good. That's good. They won't sting. They're very nice little, buzzy little guys, right?

Yeah. I mean, they will. They'll leave you alone kind of thing. They're not like hornets who are dicks, okay? Yeah, right. How many times can they flap their wings every second? Oh. And by the nature of the question, it probably makes it sound like it's a lot.

So I will say it's a lot. It is definitely a lot. I'm trying to remember, like, they're not on par with hummingbirds, but they're up there. Like, uh, per second, how many times do the, flap their wings per second. I would say 120 times per second. Oh, you're so close. 200 is the correct answer.

200. Wow. You were close though. I think you're in the neighborhood. I was closer than the dog times and spider silk steel. Sure. And maybe imagine like a cold snap and that honeybee's a little slow that day. Listen, there's got to be a honey bee that's like, I'm just not feeling it today. About 120

per second. So I didn't get into it, but there one here about the jellyfish, and I didn't know this, but the jellyfish is the only known animal or the only known creature on this planet of any species or genus that's capable of cheating death indefinitely. So, really? Unlimited death saves? Yeah, you can cut it. You can rip it apart. It'll grow all back. It can get, in fact, a chunk of it can be on its own and then find new life. Like you can live forever, basically. Wow. Yeah, which is great. You do that with starfish, like cut it and grow to starfish if you cut it correctly. Yeah.

And then one tiny bit of warning, this is mainly for you because you got cats. I have cat and some dogs. Dogs don't matter in this case. But if you have a cat or a horse, which I think is funny that there's just these two, these two, highly susceptible to Black Widow Venom. Oh, really? Way more. We have Black Widows in Colorado.

As a matter of fact, I've seen them in this house, Black Widow spiders. Yeah, you don't want those. So cats, real bad. Horses, real bad. Dogs, very resistant. They may be a little itchy and bugged, but dogs are very resistant. Sheep and rabbits, immune. Nothing.

Human's fairly resistant, too. Like, we'll get welts, but it doesn't, it's not like the danger, like insta-kill, like we were all led to bleed. Yeah, we all were brave. I mean, hell, they made an MCU character out of it. Like, it's all about the MCU. They made a comic book character. exactly but it's supposed to be deadly

right the whole idea is deadly oh deadly spider right you're much worse to get a brown recluse in your house or something like that yes oh yeah because that's got like the the the necrotic flesh eating deal

necrotic flesh eating deal yeah no thank you no thanks that's the one way I don't want to go I'll go give me any other way well I don't want any other way Don't give me cancer or whatever, but if you're going to make me go, I'd really like it not to be rapidly with a flesh-eating bacteria or poison, you know? Yeah, exactly.

Sounds bad, man. No, thanks. No, thanks. All right. Well, there's your fun animal facts for today, and you did quite well. I did okay. Some of them were impossible, though. Like, how are you going to know how many flaps a damn bee does unless you look it up?

Exactly. Oh, and I learned that possums Don't hang from their tails ever Oh, really? Cartoons lied to us. They never hang from their tails. They'd be too heavy and it wouldn't work. They're not that strong of a tail.

But we've all been raised to think that that's the way that deal goes. I totally was raised to think that's the way that deal goes. That's crazy. It's like, oh, they just, you know, they hang on trees. They do play dead, right? They play dead. Yes, they do play dead. Yes.

And they are. Death talent? be expected to feigned death. Yeah, they can hit F and then just and just lay there, but they cannot hang on with that tail to save their life. Literally, they do not do that. There are some animals that do. There's some monkeys and some

other stuff, but possums don't. So there you go. All right, well, we've all learned a little something. Now let's learn one more thing with this phone call. So I was listening to episode 2470, and this is actually following up on another person's call.

about preon diseases. Preon diseases are actually some of these scariest diseases that are out there. They are caused by misshaped proteins. So they actually have some of the highest fatality percentages of any diseases that we are aware of. They have almost a 100% fatality rate. They tend to actually be very fast diseases. I hope you have a wonderful day. That is all.

Well, I was. What a great way to end that call. Fantastic. Exactly, yes. By the way, I hope you're doing well. I hope you're feeling okay. I mean, gosh, dang. Oh, here's how they, here's how you say it.

Let me pull back up the audio. Oh, preon. Preon. Preon. Make sure. Pre-owned. Toyota Preon. Yeah, it's the new Toyota Preon.

The electric card disease, it's going to take away your paintings on four and oil. Yeah, that's right. I like that they used that guy for the spokesman. That's great. He's not going to have to pay for oil no more. You know, I discovered last night, I learned something. What? I learned that back in February when I told my friend Kathy that we would go with her to Red Rocks to see

Semic Delmetry and the Bare Naked Ladies, I learned that that concert is tonight. Oh, shit! Are you, well, I guess you're not going now, or are you? Or what are you going to do? Well, of course I'm going. Why wouldn't I be going?

Oh, I was thinking you didn't. Okay, I was thinking you had to have time. Yeah, we bought tickets. I just forgot that it was June 13th. Well, you'll be wide awake for TMS tomorrow then. You'll be perfect. You know what? I'm sure I will because she's going there specifically to see Semi-Sonic.

It's her favorite band. I like Bare Naked Ladies. but I liked them a lot more when Stephen Page was part of the band. I don't, I'm not, I've listened to their album since, and they just don't have the charm. There's something missing. Something's missing. Yeah, yeah. It's more like, Ed Robertson.

You need the two. It's more like bare naked lady at that point. Right, exactly. Yeah, exactly. I came here for ladies, not lady. So we're going to watch Delamitri. We're definitely going to watch Semi-Sonic, and I'm looking at the set list, thanks to setlist.fm. and let's see matter of time opener don't know that song it's all been done i know that song again

it's going to be weird not having uh stephen page sing it yeah uh roll out don't know that one adlib don't know it uh gonna walk don't know it just wait don't know it lookin up don't know it uh big backyard don't know it oh song number nine pinch me well i know that one okay uh big bang in there no no big bang theory theme number 16 oh shit don't know if we'll make it that far one week if i had a million dollars, not till the AniCorps it looks like. And that's another one where you need those to both guys, man.

Yes, right. You got the one guy's... Although, if I had a million dollars for sure. One week, I mean, that is pretty much an Ed Robertson you know, hold me down, let me stop thing. Oh, yeah, that one's fine. That one's fine.

But the one where they're going back, when they do a lot of back and forth, those are hard to hear. Those are hard to do, yeah. You know, if I had a million dollars, pinch me is uh is is you know what about um the old apartment that's that one's just straight up stephen page yeah it's his song broke into the old apartment that's they're not doing is he doing his own solo thing or no yes yeah oh i took that back their first so they end with one week if i had a million dollars and then like a a a bunch of uh at least when they

did this in kansas city uh night before or last, they ended with a bunch of covers. First encore is the old apartment. Oh, okay. Oh, and then they cover jetter liner with Semi-Sonic and Delamitri. Oh, Brian. So they come back out for the last song.

You're going to be tired tomorrow. Back to the point. You're going to be tired. I don't think I'm going to tell Kathy that Semi-Sonic comes back out for the last song. Yeah, this is the big. Okay, so now we're on to a whole new ethical question.

Do you tell her? Oh, geez, do I tell her? Oh, my God. Because now you know, so do you... Now I know. Do you say, do you omit this information and call it good, or do you feel bad and tell her? I'm going to tell her and let her decide. We're going to drive separately, separately, so we don't have to stay just because she stays.

Yeah, you have an out. That's good. That's good. I have an out, but oh, my gosh. You have it to tell her. I love it. I like this conundrum. I can't not tell her because I would be pissed.

if, like, I found out, you know, like, let's say, let's say when I saw Elvis Costello open up for the police. Sure. And let's say I wasn't a huge Elvis Costello fan. And that's a bad example, because he came out before, he was the opening act, he came out, or Sting came out and performed Allison with Elvis Castella. And I would have been pissed if I would have missed that. But it's not like, I guess that would be the same thing, right?

Like, I'll just show up when the police start, because I'll always. like Elvis Castello. Sure. And then I found out that Sting sings, you know, Allison with Elvis Castello. I would have been pissed off. Which sounds like a cool duet, by the way. It sounds great. We, at the time, it was me in the real Chris Brown, went and saw those two.

Or the, I can only say those two, those four, because it's three police and one Elvis. All right. And Chris Brown, you know, does what he wants. And so he decided during the Elvis opener, we would go as far forward in the reserve seating area as we could. And so he's like, up front, I see like two open spaces in row two. Let's go get them. Like, oh, really?

All right. So we make our way, excuse me, excuse me, pardon me, excuse me. We get through about three quarters of the Elvis Costello set. And we're second row. Great seats. We're watching this thing. And again, at Red Rocks. And then the real owners come and they're like,

Oh, I think you might be in our seats. And Chris Brown's like, yeah, we just want to come up and see Elvis Gasto up close. We'll move. And he's like, and the people said, oh, no, sorry, take your time. Oh. And so Chris Brown and I just sit still. And we're like, okay. Take your time.

Did they stand there? Or what? The guy meant, well, no, I don't want you to run. Oh, I see. I do want you to get up and walk out of our seats. But like you said, take your time. How are we supposed to translate that? No, it's all right.

take your time like like oh okay cool yeah i don't know what i meant i meant now but don't did he say that did he have to correct and say it you did you totally did that's freaking amazing how embarrassing is this this is a terrible story it was a little embarrassing so as we were going to our seat like going to our actual seats is when uh sting came out to sing uh alison with elvis castello so i missed the first minute of it because we were trying to find our seats i could hear it i just couldn't sit there and watch it couldn't be two yeah two rows away from it is what you you couldn't do yeah exactly that's great though that's funny take your why would you say take your time why would you say take your time exactly or no rush or whatever i mean it was like there's something along

those lines like oh okay cool no rush i think that well i think you may have that's what he said no rush i think he should have said was just oh no he shouldn't have said anything like because we were getting up to get like we were we weren't gonna run no yeah that's a weird for that's like when you say uh you're talking to i don't know the bank on the phone and at the end of the call you accidentally say love you because you talk to your wife on the phone a lot and you just say that by accident now you're now you got a whole thing you got a whole thing to deal with just don't say anything say oh i think you're in our seats oh shoot okay no worries and then then you're done talking you just wait for the people to get up don't say right don't say

no rush don't say no rush yes exactly weird that is one of the weirdest things I've ever heard all right yeah let's uh let's dive into some news today I don't watch the news we got some news and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by Soundography. Hey, remember last week when I told you there would be a new soundography episode that was a special episode where Hammond and I watched the Broadway show

Chess, the live for TV version, featuring the songs One Night in Bangkok and others. That episode didn't get posted because of my trip, so it's getting posted today. So, Soundography.com, listen to me and Hammond do what we normally do for patrons with these special movie episodes and we're going to tell you all about chess live.

That sounds like a good time to me. It is. It still is a good time. It may not be the good time people were expecting last week, but it'll be the good time they get this week. That's right. We said no rush, and then Brian waited a week. That's right. Oh, no rush to get this chess and concert, Hammond? Okay, cool.

Yeah, no worries. And then you just stood there. Let's get to the story about a sushi chain. Has sued a high school student who licked a soy sauce bottle for $480,000. dollars. Okay, that feels a little excessive. You think? That seems like a little. Yeah, I think it's a lot too much. Uh, sushi chain is suing a high school student for 67 million yen. That's worth 480 grand here in the Americas. After social media footage showed him licking his finger, then touching a plate of sushi as it passed him on the conveyor belt.

Oh, this is a... That too. That's also horrible. Yep, I agree. This is according to the Japan's public broadcaster. I don't, I assume that's like their people. PBS, I don't know. I think so. A Kindo Shirro company, which runs the Sushiro restaurant chain, claims to have suffered a sharp fallen customers after the footage of his actions at the outlet in the city of Gifu went viral, according to the Japanese broadcaster and HK. The footage of the student also showed him licking a soy sauce bottle and a cup that he placed back onto the communal pile. Oh, gotcha. So, hey, watch this, TikTok video, and he does all this stuff.

And if they had a sharp fallen customers, I mean, they're, you know, a lawsuit is, is warranted, but, wow, did they lose $480,000 worth of business? I mean, they're claiming it's that kind of damage, huh? Yeah, that's what I mean, it's hard to say. Yeah, kids a dick. Now, the thing is in my head, I picture some white kid in America. I just do. Kind of do, too. But it's not.

I picture Logan Paul. It's a, yeah. You picture like a Logan Paul type, but no, it's just some Japanese kid. You know, it says to say the short clip was shared widely in Japan after it was uploaded in January and was one of a number of similar videos, including some of their competitors, that helped give rise to the term sushi terrorism. Oh, no. That's stupid.

The term is used broadly to refer to unhygienic actions in Japan's sushi train restaurants where customers pick dishes on conveyor belts. Those are very popular there. You've got one near you that you go to, right? Yeah, well, not that we go to. There's one near me. It's not near enough that I'd go to it unless I'm in the area. But it used to be sushi boat.

And now it's sushi train, but they kept the sign shape, which is the shape of a big boat. But it says sushi train on the boat. Oh, weird. That's the sushi train boat. That's weird. Why did they do that? Yeah. That doesn't make any sense to me.

It says they claim, this is what they claim. They've claimed they've lost 16 billion yen, which translates roughly to be 115 million. is their claim of loss. Well, actually, $480K is not that big. No. Following the release, if they can prove that, I don't know if they can prove that in court. They have to be able to prove it. Following the release of the video, due to a sharp drop in customers

and a slump in the stock of its parent company. Let's see the students' legal counsel wrote to the court and May asking for it to dismiss the complaint. It said the student had admitted the act and regretted his actions, but added that there was no proof of a link between his actions and the dropping customers at the sushi chain. It suggested that the decline. and customers could be due to a fierce competition in that industry.

Well, if they can track it from when the video was released until now, they can probably show a direct correlation. I don't know. That's hard to prove in court, though. It is, yeah. You know, I mean, but if their sales are basically like this, do-do-do-d-d-do-d-do-d-d-and-pugh right after this video goes viral, I feel like they've got a case.

Yeah, that is probably what it shows. I just don't know how you prove. Well, and I don't know what the standards for prove. for proof are in Japan. Like here, I don't know if you'd have to settle. Something would happen in the middle. You'd settle, I think. Yeah.

Anyway, what were you going to say? If you look in your Discord, I sent you the sushi train sign. Oh, let's take a look here. Oh, yeah, look at that. That is so weird. Here, chat. Look at this. I'm going to zoom in a little.

Oh, you can eat sushi. Sushi train. We know it's a boat. Yeah, it's throwing my brain off. It's like when you see one of those things, say the colors out loud. It's the word red, but it's in yellow. I'm really bad at that. I struggle with that test.

That's not really a test, but if I really focus, I can do it. But my brain does the thing they're trying, they're hoping, you know? Yeah, yeah. All right, we'll do this story. This is a fun one. Hundreds have attended church entirely run, this entire service generated by chat GPT. You knew this was coming at some point. Oh, yeah.

Wow, I didn't think you would hit the world of religion this quickly. No, I didn't either, but the artificial intelligence. I was expecting porn first. I don't know, I'll bet it is. There's not much chat in porn. Yeah, less chat and more porn. The artificial intelligence chat box asked the believers of the fully packed St. Paul's Church and the Bavarian town of Firth, I guess.

Fierth? Probably just Fierth. Probably Fierth. In Rye. to rise from the pews and praise the Lord. The chat GPT chat bot personified by an avatar of a bearded black man on a huge screen above the altar, then began preaching to more, I don't know why they had to tell us he was black. Yes.

I don't understand the point. And they capitalized it too. Yeah, they capitalized black man. This is a Bavarian thing. Anyway, on a huge screen above the altar, then began preaching to the more than 300 people who had shown up on Friday morning. for an experimental Lutheran church service almost entirely generated by AI. Dear friends, it is an honor for me to stand and preach to you as the first artificial intelligence of this year's convention of Protestants in Germany.

The Avatar said, with an expressionless face and a monotonous voice. So people knew. This wasn't like a, they showed up thinking that this was a real deal. They walked in knowing this is experimental. I think a lot of people probably went because they wanted to see how weird this would be, right? I would. I'd go to this. I would. I'd want to check it out. Yeah, in a heartbeat.

It was 40 minutes. Please install this communion wafer. Yep. In your mouth. Please open your mouth. Beep, bo, beep. I have 10 fingers. Please download the blood of Christ.

The digital power of Christ compel you. The 40-minute service, including the sermon, prayer, and music was generated by Chat GPT, and Jonas Simmerlane, a theologian and philosopher from the University of Vienna. That's where they got the sausages. you know. That's right, yes. I conceded of this service, but actually I rather accompanied it because I would say

about 98% comes from the machine, says the 29-year-old scholar. The AI church service was one of hundreds events at the Convention of Protestants in Bavaria. This is all part of in towns of Lake Nuremberg and the neighboring Firth, and it drew such immense interest that people formed a long queue outside the 19th century neo-Gothic building for an hour before it began. So, yeah, it's just a, you know, I don't think this is like religious zealotry. This is just like curiosity. Like, what is this going to be like?

If they did a second one, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be popular. Like, nope, seen it. I've seen the A.I. Church. That's all I wanted to do is just CVA church. I kind of want to see video. I don't know if they link it here. Let's see. Oh, yeah.

Mr. Photo or something. I want to see that guy up there, that capital B black guy up there. Oh, yeah, there he is. That looks like a woman. Oh, yeah, it does. This is just. maybe it's just a different part of the thing or something. Here you go, Chet.

It's way back there. She's the opening act, the digital opening act. Yeah, she does Allison. Warms up the crowd. Hey, who's ready for God? That's right. And then this other guy, look at him in his sneakers in the pews. Are you ready for God?

You know what they all also have? They didn't say anything. They buried the lead. But if you look at the photo of the guy down in the middle of the article, all of the pews have screens with, with, QR codes for, I don't know what reason. So I guess you can watch them on your iPads as well. Do you scan that in here?

Oh, I did see something. Yeah, I'd be curious to see. I did see something cool yesterday. So somebody's got an AI bot that's only job, it's a modified AI bot, is to take, is to make QR codes, but do them as painting. So they look like a small village in the snow, like all of the buildings. If you looked at it close, you go, oh, it just looks like a very bunch of interestingly arranged buildings.

But if you back up, you realize, oh, that's forming a thing. And it scans like a QR code. And it works and it scans. Yeah. Oh, that's cool. I remember, you know, for a while they were doing like colors and then you'd have like a little photo in the center, a little image in the center of the QR code. But that's cool if you can do. It's really neat.

See if I can find that real quick. it's pretty cool QR code AI art that's bound to find it I would totally do here it is if I had the right thing

I would totally do a QR code tattoo I'm thinking that may be what I do finally like the problem is it's but what would you have it because if it goes to isn't that rad

isn't that cool hold your phone up yeah hold your phone up on that good try I'm gonna try right now there's the village one chat that I thought of a bitch that works isn't that crazy totally crazy

scroll down and look at these there's the village when I was telling you about in the snow and then you can scroll through the others but they all that looks like aerial photos I mean they all have these big square things because I think you have to yeah they have to that that that helps but even that like they make it look

like it's a banner hanging off the side of this character's head it's really cool village no way that's amazing where does it go Does it take you somewhere? Yep. It takes you to, I think, the artist's page,

QRbtf.com. And then they show you like, like you can actually have it generate. It looks like it. Oh, no way. Oh, wow. This one with the tree and the clouds and stuff. Oh, the little printed circuit board.

These are absolutely amazing the fact that they work. Yeah. It's rad. I actually think that's very cool. That's a really cool use for that. That is, okay, finally, somebody using QR codes for good. Now, would you do the tattoo? See, I would be tempted to go old school, pixely looking thing,

but might be cool to have some full-blown art like this. Yeah. If it's still stand, you know. And then you've got to have a destination that you're never going to change and it will always be up. That's the other rule. That's the thing. Yes, exactly. You can't lose your URL.

That would suck so bad, dude. like what if you what if it went to frogpants.com and then I let it lapse and some guy bought it and it forwards the porn or something like that might yeah see that's that's a problem right there yeah you'd have to maintain it like in perpetuity until I die yeah or have it purposely go somewhere that's never going to go away that isn't even yours like um you see that's that you get you even got to worry about that like you know YouTube might go under someday so you can't Rickroll uh yeah that's true uh Oh, my gosh, do a Rickroll. What if the tattoo artist trolled you and did it, so it was a Rickroll? Oh, my God. That would be hilarious. Holy shit.

There was a, there's a podcaster who does a show, did a show, maybe he still does a show called the Hollywood podcast. Guy named Tim Coyne, and he's, again, one of the OG podcasters, Orange County, but, like, was back in the day when I started podcasting. And he got a QR code. And I think there was, I want to say that there was a little bit of a smudge or something or that the tattoo artist effed up a little bit. So sometimes you'd get his sight. Sometimes you'd get a different site altogether. That seems bad. That seems like not optimal.

We had a lunch at a pizza place in Orange County with him and Dan Klastina and I did when we were out there. And he was showing us his brand new tattoo. Let's see if I can find it here. Yeah, tattoo, there it is. Tim Coyne, Hollywood Podcast Tattoo. Oh, that's certainly not it. Oh, gosh, that's definitely not it. Oh, man, I was trying to find if there was also a way to have it go to something that's less ephemeral than a website, but it really isn't.

This is all this is for, I mean, it's for menus. and libraries and there's other uses. It's certainly, like, we were thinking that the, the, oh, hilarious. When you do a search for Tim Coyne Hollywood podcast, the first photo that comes up is a picture of, oh, never mind, I thought that was Tina, one of the podcast words, the thumbnail looked like Tina, because we've taken our picture with Tim Coyne before, and I'm like, oh, my God, there's a picture of Tim Coyne with Tina, but it's not her. Tim Coyne's Tina Doppelganger wife, I think.

Yeah, there's always more than one. There's always. Wow. Well, anyway, yeah, this stuff's fascinating. And I hope those church people all learned their lesson. If a robot can do it, maybe something's up. I was about to say that the QR codes were just about dead. Like we were just about to give up on QR codes.

And then was it the pandemic that saved? It was, right? Because we all had to have menus. I didn't know they were done. Were they? Well, people were I think they were still a thing, right? I mean, they were still being used, but it was, they were falling out of favor.

And then everybody needed a way to scan a menu. Yeah. Because we couldn't have paper. We couldn't have menus that you handed people that other people touched. Yeah. So we had to have QR codes all over the place. It definitely didn't hurt to have that research. It definitely helped.

Yeah, I think QR codes. Yeah, Matthew Sargent. I never used them until the pandemic. Merrick says nobody ever used them. I could have sworn there was like even an article in New York Times that said QR codes were on the way out until the pandemic saved him or something.

Weird. Well, good for them. They're going to live long now, I think. All right, we're going to take a break when we come back. We'll spend a little bit of time with our old friends Bill and Bobby, Bill and Bob. Yeah.

It's the old Bill and Bob morning show and that's all coming up. I sure hope we can tell them apart. Yeah, me too. That'll be after this break. And this break consists of a song, and Brian's prepared one. So, Brian, what do you got there? Yes, this one is a band called Night Talks.

Oh, I hate having those Night Talks. They never end well, those Night Talks. This is an indie rock pop trio, led by the magnetizing and sonorous vocals of Soraya Subgatti, alongside guitarist Jacob Butler and Josh Arate. they have a pension for creating joyous rock anthems big uh big thanks going out to grimy goods for getting this over to me um this is the song roll on here's the band night talks head up in the clouds even if I'm stuck in the house I'm in this race alone but I can't keep up with the Jones living out a dream I'm thinking all about

We're back in me And we're running with the bows Well I'll be able When I'm old One step, two step Three steps forward, back And one step, two step, two step Three steps back

One step, two step, three steps Forward back in one step Two step Bouncing up the walls In my head, yeah, they're just Bats Cutting circles on the floor Yeah, it won't stop

Because I want to break this feeling I'm going to pass through the ceiling But I'm stuck inside the house While it keeps on rolling on I'm still up in the clouds But an elevator takes me back down I barely miss the ground I've got no time to catch my breath

You chalk it up the chest For all of the things that I don't have Just take it like a man Just leave it in the past Bouncing up the walls in my head That there just starts Because the circles are on the floor Yeah, it won't stop

Because I don't want to fight this feeling I'm going to bust through the ceiling But it's stuck inside the house when it keeps on rolling on. Roll on, roll on, roll on. Roll on, roll on. One step, two step, three steps, four, we're back, and one step, two step, three steps back. One step, two, step, three steps, four, we're back in one step, two step, two steps, four, we're back, and one step two steps.

Founcing up the walls in my head, but they're just fine. Collecting circles on the floor, yeah, it won't stop. I want to fight this feeling I'm going fast through the ceiling Stuck inside the house But it keeps on rolling on Rung inside the house But it keeps on rowing on

Stuck inside the house But I keep on rolling on Host Grape Nuts presents Bonnie Pruden, whose research led to the organization of President Eisenhower's Committee on Youth Fitness. Clicking sounds good. And we've returned. Who was that one more time? Sure.

That was the song Roll On by the band Night Talks, brand new single. from that indie rock pop trio. A song all about deodorant and the best application. The best way to play it. Yep. Always. I would agree. I would agree.

I prefer to roll on. I do too. I don't like a cakey stick. Oh, no. Yeah. Not into it. Even the gel where you've got to turn the crank and the gel comes out, little goo holes.

Yeah, the gel holes. I do like those too. Those are pretty good. Yeah. I don't, what I don't want anymore is the cakey ones and I'm never going to spray anything. Okay. No, no.

No, no spray. What century are we in where we still spray shit under there? Come on. Because when you're spraying your armpits, you're pretty much pointing that thing in your face. Yeah. Yeah. Plus, aren't we, I mean, it's still not good for the ozone layer or whatever, I don't think. I don't know how that works now.

I'm pretty sure it's bad for the environment. I don't think it's good. All right, let's, um, shit. Who, we, oh, Bill. Bill. Let's shit. Let's shit. Let's shit.

All right, Bill incoming. I'm going to have a little bit of fun with the old Billster, and here we go. There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill? Oh, look. It's Bill Duran with his iconic intro and his masculine energy. He's joining us as he does every Tuesday from his headquarters over there at Punish Props.com, a place I got all excited about yesterday. I did a little mini video about one of my favorite props ever, this Nukakola, he sent.

I love this thing. and I did a little short video about it and pointed people to the video where he created it. And so to say I'm in the mood for Bill today is an understatement. Bill, welcome back to the show. Hello. Hi. Happened to be here.

I'm excited you're showing that off. Today I wanted to talk about 3D printing and that is one of the very first things I 3D printed. Oh, my gosh. I didn't even know it was 3D printed. I didn't know what process he used for this until I went and saw the video again and sure enough. But it's also got

I don't know how you did it. Maybe you've explained this before. I thought that was a, you made a mold and then. So the original was 3D printed. Oh, got you made a mold of the 3D print. And the stuff you got in there is almost like translucent cola color. Right. So we used the resin that is transparent and then we put a little pigment in it to make it that brown.

It's a little dark, but especially if you shine a light up next to it, you can see that it's transparent. Yeah, especially down on the wings, you can just sort of see this like, it really, gives it the feeling that it's glass, you know? That's cool. Yeah, yeah. I love this thing. It's what it really truly is. Let the seam around the edge, because glass bottles have a seam. That's right. It was like a perfect,

worked perfectly to like continue the illusion. Yeah, they're only the, like I said in this video yesterday, my two favorite things in Fallout as objects, sort of like iconic objects, are all the new Coca-Cola imagery, for whatever reason, I just love it. And the computer terminals. I love those things.

Even more than like the pit boy. Everyone's like, oh, the pit boy, that's the thing. No, that's cool and all. Don't trust me. They're rad, and you've made plenty of those, Bill. But I really, really like the little terminals with the round screens, these ancient-ass-looking computer terminals. I love that stuff. Anyway.

Well, what did you bring today besides the long history and legacy of making cool shit? Well, so Brittany and I have been cooking up a new 3D printing venture, a new thing. It's not quite ready for mass consumption yet, but we've been designing things for other people to 3D print. Now, this isn't something new. I've done this before for our prop stuff. I've got our Blade Runner Blaster and the Vastro Stampede Revolver. Those are both kits that we sell on our website

where you download the 3D files, print them yourself, and then you can put together your own prop. And that's what we're really well. It's cool because then... so the work is done and it's a digital file. I don't have to, I used to mold and cast all my props and sell castings, which is a good way to do it, but then I have to mold and cast all the stuff. So we really like this whole make a file, you 3D print the thing,

and everyone gets a thing out of it. Very nice. That's awesome. I love that idea. You've hinted at this before, but it's nice to hear some of this taken share. Yeah, and we'll be talking more about it in the coming months as more things come out. But anyway, in the process of designing these kits for other people, I've learned some things because when you're printing something for yourself, and I'm guilty of this, you may take some

shortcuts. Say, I'm not going to fix that feature because I'll just sand it later or I'll just cut it off with the bansar, remodel it by hand later. Right. You can't really do that when you're making stuff for other people to print, mostly because you want them to obviously have a good and fun customer experience, especially. if you're selling them these things. But also, you don't want to have to deal with the customer service emails.

You want to make sure people can get their files, print them themselves, and have a fun experience without having to reach out to you every single time. Especially when you're sending this to many, many people. Sure. So here's some stuff we've learned, and this is some of the stuff we're including as design considerations for our new stuff. So, first of all, you want to make the files, as easy to print as possible.

So something I've been keeping in mind is trying to design parts so that they don't need supports. Oh, interesting. I mean, not everything needs supports, right? Like, they're cases of things. You design it correctly. Yeah, you can print it.

With, when I'm replicating a prop for 3D printing, sometimes you have to, that's a compromise you have to make. Some parts just need to print supports. All right. So, for example, Yesterday I was printing a little propeller, like a little boat propeller. And there's just no way to do that without supports, which is fine. But because I'm designing things from scratch right now that are my own designs, if I can help it,

I've been able to design things in a way where you can print it without support material. Support material, there's nothing wrong with it. In fact, it's got a lot better. However, you use more material when you do it, and it can leave blemishes on the surface where the support material touches down. That's one thing that I've been keeping in mind. And then also, if the parts are going to be big, so for example, with like a giant sword, right?

You want to cut those apart ahead of time and include a way to attach them later. Relying on the customers to slice a thing into pieces themselves will result in a lot of customer support emails. Angry, angry messages. Ask me how I know. Exactly. What's your preferred way to do that?

Like, do you do a tab and then a hole, like a cylinder sticking out and then a hole in the other side that is larger, but, but. One way I've done that, so for the satisfactory helmets that I, those are actually for free. If you're into satisfactory, you want to print a helmet, go to our punish props.com. We have a free file section. You can print that for free. That had to be cut up into smaller pieces because it's not going to fit on a normal size printer. along the seams that I cut I included peg holes

and I believe I did it this way if memory serves correct but I've done this on several projects these are three millimeter peg holes so you could use your three millimeter filament if you have that or a one eighth inch or three millimeter rod so I have steel or brass rod

down to the shop that you can use both to lock it together and to align the parts back together that's cool so like you can instead of having a tab that you've got to match up you can just get it's like those little pegs

that come with IKEA furniture basically. Absolutely, perfect. That's smart. That's a really smart way to do it. Yeah, and I did that with the with the Vasha Stampede Revolver too. It's got a bunch of parts

that need those three millimeter or eighth inch rods. The other thing to consider, how big is your customer's printer going to be? There are bigger printers, but there is kind of a standard size. We're doing all of our

testing on a normal size Prusa, which has a print volume of 250 millimeters by 210 by 210. So everything we design will print in that size of a volume. The idea there is your, cut to smaller pieces. The idea there is what lowest common denominator, try to nail

your, that's like when somebody makes a PC computer game. They want to match a range of builds. Right, yeah. Same idea. And then this is kind of a no-brainer, but print the parts before you sell them.

Try it out yourself. Because you'll run into every problem your customer's going to have before they have it. And that means you're going to print parts several times until you get it just right. That's actually what I'm going to be doing today. That's actually my favorite part. The printing and testing and fitting and

that repetition. Sure. And then include instructions. This is the This is the most challenging part. Yeah. So I plan on our kits having printed or not print text and image instructions and assembly videos. If you have a lot of parts that have to get put together, you should make an assembly video. In fact, while I did, we made project videos for the Blade Runner Blaster, let's say.

That's me figuring out how to make this thing. that's up on our YouTube channel. I made a second video that's just the assembly. It's super instructional. It's not funny or sensational or anything. Because that project needs specific hardware, screws of different sizes and lengths. And it has to go together in a certain order.

So I just made a video that very dryly goes through that step by step. Same thing with the trigon revolver. I found that when it comes to a set, assembly there's no better way to do it than with a video yeah i also wish uh there was i wish there are more videos that were just no nonsense like that in general like when i want to find uh hey how do i actually shout out to um uh bill from the run jump stomp podcast he did a video on youtube about how to get diablo four running on a steam deck and there are there are thousands of those videos his is the only one i'm going to recommend it is so to the point it exactly does what

needs to do, it's extremely simple and straightforward and he knows his stuff and he doesn't dink around or over-explain or tell me a big story before he just gets to the freaking point and I love that. It's not a 45-minute video that shows you how to do something in two minutes.

Just you got that. More of that, please. Full of jokes and he made my day with that thing. So true. Yeah. We love Bill. A-T-P. Yeah, A-T-P of

of the old run-jump stop. Yeah, he's great. I had a similar experience yesterday. I was trying to 3D model a boat propeller in Fusion 360, and I found a six-minute video, no dialogue. It's just a little music, and a guy's showing me the bare bones of how to make a boat propeller. Nice. That's what you want.

Take heed. Sorry, go ahead. There's a bunch of information you probably want to include. So I'm thinking I'm going to have like a PDF with every kit that includes. images that show the correct print orientation on the print bed very important specific settings so like some of the parts

I'm making very small parts should be printed completely solid 100% infill other parts shouldn't be you can include that in your instructions if there's any additional hardware like I said that my trigon and blade runner kits require screws so if you need

hardware specific screws you can include links to that so for example for my trigon a revolver, there's a PDF with images and instructions and links to McMaster Car to the specific screws you need. So there's no

ambiguity about which screws to get. It's literally a link that sends you there. I've found that all of that has worked really well. I don't, we've sold lots of those kits and I haven't hardly ever got any customer service e-bills, which is my gold standard.

If I'm not getting customer service e-bills, emails you've done it right yeah I did it right that's a really good feeling to know you covered it well enough that you didn't get bugged about it all the time sure yes and it's not always nailed that so I know yeah I know that's great yeah very cool as usual if anyone out there's like um I don't know how do I put this like the when you're the the whole support thing fascinates me because you need it to print certain things right you have to put in supports obviously you want to have less so that you're a not using a bunch of material you're not going to use later it's all going to get checked away but also just it's just more efficient it's not having a lot of crap to remove yeah you don't have to sand stuff down or find out why this little crease is wrong or do you know you're going to have to do prints that come out and you go oh crap I should have had a support there and I didn't think about it now I got to go back oh I could show you one that I did just use it as a matter of fact I'll bet I'll bet this is super common for all you yeah everybody doing this um so I I really this is I appreciate this easy to someone who who's not printing as just kind of a, I don't know, everybody just efficient up your stuff a little, you know? Sure, yeah. Especially if you're selling it. So if you're going to sell it.

That's a huge thing. If you're asking people to pay for it, people are going to start expecting this. We've been downloading a lot of other people's kits and printing them. Yeah. And there's a wide range of the file quality is one thing, the 3D print file, but then the sort of support surrounding it, the instructions, the considerations, there's a huge wide range of that. understanding now how much I appreciate when you get all that and a delivered product that you

paid for it's a lot uh well bill always a pleasure you got any uh a little something bonusy today to share with us yeah yeah so uh this is a youtube channel i've been following this guy on twitter last night i realized he has youtube videos goes by sublight drive on youtube and he makes little model spaceships and he makes them all old school using not 3D printing, but styrene and glue airbrush and painting. Styrene. This is so

cool. It's deeply satisfying. Remind me what like where we commonly find styrene. So your model shop like a hobby town or hobby shop. Yeah, it's that stiffer plastic. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

So and please go to, if you have a local hobby shop, go and check out the styrene selection because they have sheets of it in different thicknesses, which is great. But they also have, like, textured ones, and he used some textured styrene on those cargo containers. Basically, a pre-made stuff at scale. So tiny little tubes and eye beams and all sorts of stuff,

all made out of styrene, which is a really easy material to work with. You pretty much just need an Xacto knife. Oh, my gosh. I'm in love with everything he's doing here. I know. It's so cool. Wow. Wow.

He needs more than... So, yeah, very few tools required. He uses a well-bond three glue, or you could use super glue, but well-bonds the standard and some paints and an Xacto knife. And you can get fancier than that, but that's really all you need to make stuff like this. Sublight Drive deserves more than 6,000 followers on YouTube. Everybody, get over there. I agree. Follow this guy.

Amazing. Oh, my gosh. Does he do commissions? Seems like a lot of work. Beautiful. All right. Awesome, as always. You'll find that at Sublight Drive on YouTube and, of course, Punished Props on YouTube as well as PunishProps.com.

Bill, it's always good to having you here. Thanks for hanging out with us, and we'll see you next time. Good to be here. Bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye. That link is going up on quicktms.l.li right now. So this ship isn't, is this the, it looks like the Galactic. It's obviously not.

It kind of does, yeah. But I don't think it is. It's just like some weird container ship. Yeah, I could see it in like the fleet, you know. Yes, right. It's where they carry all their food and toiletries and stuff. That's really cool. All right.

Let's get this going here. Who we had now, Bill for science? I say, let's have Bobby. Or Bobby's what I meant. I say Bill again. All right, here he comes. Get your science hats on, everybody. Because it's time.

Science. Bob is hungry. And the soup looks good. It sure does, as always. Bobby, here to join us for a little science time. Bobby, hi, Mr. Pilot, man. Whoa, you're all blasted out. Look at that.

Yeah. Adjust camera. There we go. Whew. Ooh. Hello, Bobbert. Hello. Hello. How are you?

Hi. I'm doing great. How are you? Thanks for asking. Oh, well, you know, you didn't, no flight. How's your flying going? How's that going? We just like to check in.

We're about to do your night flat, I think, last time we talked to. Or had you just done it? No, I think you're prepping for your first. I was going to be doing it. I was going to be doing it. It got canceled because of the weather. But I have soloed. I think I said that last time we talked.

I've started going solo. And last week I flew like four different days, which was great. That's unusual to be able to go that often. But I can, things can, my mom was in town, so I was able to schedule some more. And when you're solo, there's a little bit of flexi. because I don't have to have my instructor there. And that was great because I did two solo flights in the pattern

and then I did two solo cross-country flights with a, if I haven't explained that before or anybody who doesn't know, a cross-country flight is not as long as it sounds. It's just a, it's a flight where you are going to another airport that is at least 50 nautical miles away. How high do you ever get?

You're not like 30,000 feet. This last one I did, this last flight I did was the highest I've ever flown. It was 4,500 feet. Oh, okay. I wasn't sure because, you know, like commercial airliners, 30,000 or whatever. And I guess I never know what the little puddle jumpers do or the little, you know, small. Yeah, you can't go that high unless you're not, you're not supposed to go that high. Well, first of all, a plane that I fly would not get that high.

It's just not powerful enough. It's not the right type of plane either. I think you have to really have a jet engine to be. be able to fly that high and you're that beyond I think I don't know this for sure I've never really bothered to memorize these specific numbers because I don't have any intention of flying this high but I think it's 20,000 feet above that is a special type of airspace reserved for for things like like passenger jets and airliners and stuff like that makes sense the only You're not allowed up there unless you are in air traffic control system on an instrument flight where you've got, you know, you've filed flight plans and all this kind of stuff.

Right. So the other question I had, and this is just, I've had this in the back of my head for a couple of weeks now, and keep forgetting to ask you, when you land and you're done, is there like a big maintenance regimen for someone to do because some other guy's got to take it? it up like how often is the flight or how often is the plane you're flying also just is it always in rotation I guess is what I'm saying someone's always flying most of the time every day I was just looking at the schedule for that plane um last night because I you know I'm always looking to figure out when I can insert a flight because I need to you know I want to fly but also I want to keep practice for my sure test in mid-August but um during the week it's being flown three to five times a day by different people my instructor is is usually always is always almost always

the one that's in there with students but it's like different students are being are using this plane all the time on the weekend it's pretty open and and um and that's when when i can sort of schedule something it's not very often being rented by anybody other than students but but sometimes it is and so it gets a lot of flight whenever i think during the day like when i bring the plane back i park it in in the parking at the airport and um and uh they have the line crew the linemen come in and uh and refill it okay fill it back up with with fuel it's it's always good to top off the fuel because if it's not then condensation can get inside the fuel tanks and it's not like a huge risk. It doesn't have to be, but it's just if you can, it's a good idea.

So there's always somebody, there's rules about that, right? They have certain, it's a maintenance regime of some specific type, and every time it lands, it goes through a check, a bunch of checks. And it's going to be their rules at that. They're called FBOs, flight, I don't know what Funky body odor. That's what I, yeah, flight business organization. I don't know. I can't remember what FBO stands for, but it's, it's their, their business that they have, they have a fleet of planes. And it's, so it's going to be their rules that they set. There are, of course, rules for how often an airplane in service, like federal regulations about how often it has to be maintained. But that's like every year or every two years or something like that. It has to be

kind of an airworthiness inspection and stuff like that. But interesting. Other than that maintenance-wise, that's their, that depends on the owner of the airplane. Yeah. And there, it's, is it against the rules to leave like a little Easter egg in there for the next guy? People might not like it. I don't know what you mean by Easter egg. Well, I don't mean like something gnarly, but I mean like, you know, a little sticker on the dash that just says, hey, hope you have a good flight, you know, like something dumb. You probably can't do that.

Like a little sticky note. Like, I think they'd be, I think they'd be mad at me if I put like stickers on that they'd have to, like, get their. goob on out. How about a sticker covering the altimeter that looks just like the altimeter? See, that I think they'd have a problem with it. It feels like. Yeah, they might not let me fly the plane anymore. Feels like that one might be a bridge too far.

If they could prove it was me. Right, right. They'd never be able to feed that out. Well, I don't know. These parts of it fascinate me because no one ever thinks of these parts. And I like the other things. Yeah, it really is interesting all the different things. Like, I had no idea.

until I started learning to fly that, that even as a student, it's day one, well, I guess day two, day two, because I had to be shown how to do it, but ever since day two of my second lesson, it was my responsibility to pre-flight the airplane, for example. Oh, wow. And I didn't know how detailed it was that every time you fly a plane, even airline pilots have some responsibility for pre-flight inspection of the aircraft. um it's crazy i didn't know that there's like all these little things about being a pilot that you just don't know and it's it's kind of cool yeah that's awesome well there's your flight update

everybody uh sit back in your seats and enjoy and check out the grand canyon on your left and uh we'll arrive soon uh bobby you're a science expert of sorts and you like to come on the show and talk about said science uh what's uh on offer today what are you doing well first of all i wanted i heard you guys talking about black widows have did i ever told you guys about um the how Black Widows got such a bad rap for people? This would help our story, our info today. Alice Cooper wasn't it?

I'm sure it was Alice Cooper. If Alice Cooper was in an outhouse, then yes. Sure at one point. If it's outhouses that gave Black Widows such a bad rap, they would, they would bite people in outhouses and those people would not survive or have a really gnarly outcome. But the problem is, the reason is that

whenever a male person with genitals would sit in an outhouse and get bit by a black widow while the black widows are hiding in in dark places so you can imagine where they were being bit bitten and there's a lot of blood flow in that area there's a lot of very easy to access and just close to the surface veins and stuff

Yeah, yeah, it's my understanding as well. So it would spread throughout the body very quickly. Oh, it's a spread thing. That's interesting. Yeah, so it's, it's Brian's right. Black Widows, we have a pretty good resistance that if we get bitten like on our arm or something, there's time. Like, you might not even get that bad of a reaction because. Well, as you can hear, we lost internet at the worst possible. time. Bobby was just getting going and it hasn't come up yet. So we decided to go ahead and end

the show early. I hate doing this. I'm really ticked. Both ISPs that I rely on are down today or down at the moment. I don't know when they're coming back up. But we're going to have to cut TMS short. That means Brian's not here to tell you about our song as we leave. And that's okay because he's texted me that information and I have in my hand what we need to know. So here's what we're going to do. I'm going to tell you that our outro song today before, oh, before we leave, real quick here, I want to thank Bobby and Bill for being here, Brian, for his patience today with this stupid problem. And all of you for being supporters of the show, Patreon.com slash TMS is the place to go. Here is your song.

It's a request. Someone wrote in named Andrew, who says, Dear Sox and Boxers, I'm turning the ripe old age of 40 this year. Let's party. Nice. If you could play anything that to. about being 40 and a pop sounding style. I'd greatly appreciate it. If you can't do that, then any Disney cover you haven't played before would be fantastic. Show the hoe though, Andrew. Well, Andrew, Brian picked for you, 40 by U2, covered by Starfield. I've never heard this cover

before. So we're going to hear it together, you and I. That'll do it for today. Back tomorrow. ISP gods willing. Well, we will be. We'll be here. This stuff gets cleared up by then. Not too worried. Thank you all for listening. We'll see you then. patiently for the Lord He inclined and heard my cry He lifted me up out of the pit Out of the my reclaim And I will sing

A new song I will sing A new song How long How long to sing this song You know, I'll send my feet in here, and he'll send my feet upon a rock And made my footsteps burn And many will see, many will see and hear

And I will sing a new song, sing a new song. I will sing a new song How long to sing this song? How long to sing this song? How long? How long? To sing me soon I'll sing this song

I I waited patiently for the Lord Be inclined and her. of my crime lifting me up out of the pit out of my reclaim
