Two weeks. There's no such thing as two weeks in the news business. Hey, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Tuesday, July 11th, 2023. I'm Scott Johnson with the returning Brian Nibbitt. Hello, Brian. Hello. The divot is still warm from Bobby, who did a great job. Thank you again, Bobby, for filling in. Very last minute. Yeah, it was kind of last second. The whole weekend felt like a bunch of series of last seconds. Yes, it really was. It really was.

Like FilmSec, both Saturday and Sunday, we all woke up thinking FilmSec was going to happen. I woke up much earlier than all of you realizing that FilmSack wasn't going to happen. Yeah, I think we got a message on Saturday at 4 a.m. or something, you were up? Yeah, it was three. Yeah, Tina woke me up. Well, let's get into that, right? So, in case, in case you don't read my threads, threads dot whatever slash coverville,

threads. Threads.tv. L.U. What is it? Is it? Threads.com. I don't even know. I think it's threads. Threads.net, I think, but the web version doesn't even work yet. So just use the... No, it doesn't even work. So don't even go to threads.com. Anyway, so Tina, the day after 4th of July, had started feeling sick like she was having a cold and started with, like, just sore throat. And some congestion. So I was dealing with, you know, making sure she was taken care of in that sense of things like, hey, do you need anything? You want some soup? Blah, blah, blah. Right.

That started on Wednesday. Thursday kind of got a little bit, a little bit worse. Friday, she sent me to the store. I'll talk about that as a whole separate story. Oh, is that when this happened? Okay. That's when that's when the story number two happened. yeah and uh but things you know just slowly not getting better and and a little bit of chest congestion

and pain and sore throat and just not you know weakness just not doing well sure uh Saturday morning you know she says or Friday night she says if I'm not feeling better tomorrow morning then I'm just gonna take myself to urgent care like okay makes sense sure so Saturday morning she gets up I've got all my stuff queued up for a film sack um she wakes up and says i need you to take me at urgent care i'm feeling weak it's it feels like uh pneumonia to me she's had it before this is her second bout with it or third maybe second or third bout second bout and uh she says i think that's what it is but i'm just going to go there we'd been doing covid test both of us all week long which is kind of fun it's like uh remember remember we're doing this all the time in 2021 it's just so so much fun yeah um

So we get her over urgent care. They basically confirmed, by the way, this urgent care place, it's called care now, it's overbias. It's in network, so thankfully it's inexpensive. Make sure you check on those people because sometimes if they're out of network and you don't know they're out of network, it's going to cost you fortune. They've got TVs in their waiting room. The TV, apparently all the TVs, because there are some in the medical offices as well for when they take a while to get to you. Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factor the Gene Wilder one on a loop

And we walked in as the kids were going into The Candy Factory Tina walked out when Cheer Up Charlie was playing on its second go-round Oh okay, I was going to say That was either a really fast appointment or a long one Because it was a really long one Like the movie had looped around

To the beginning of the second one Before Tina far better than Fox News Stoic squirrel. Absolutely. So I get to listen to that while I was sitting in the lobby playing Marvel Snap, which is a lot of fun. She comes out and says, yeah, it's pneumonia. I'm like, all right, well, let's get you home. Let's get you squared away.

And of course, prior to any of this stuff, I had reached out to all the film set guys and said, hey, let's, can we push to tomorrow? This is a kind of emergency thing came up and thinking that that was, you know, that we'd basically figured out. pneumonia and we're just going to take care of that and she'll be right as rain in a few days. Sunday morning, I'm woken up by Tina at about 3.30 in the morning. Brian, I'm having a hard time breathing. My chest is really hurting. You got to take me to the emergency room. I'm out of, like out of bed like a rocket. Packing up, you know, all right, what do you need? Toothbrush,

grabbing stuff, throwing bag. Yeah. Getting there and getting her and getting couple things for me because I know it could be there a while. So, again, iPad, phone, sure, snap. Do you have, like, a bag nearby, it's like a go bag type thing? No, because, I mean, why would we? Like, it's not like she's eight months

pregnant, we know we could be any time. This is like, this is like, you know, we've got the one that has our collection of passports and wads of money in foreign foreign increments. Of course. That's a whole different go bag and that's buried under the house.

we get her to the emergency room and sure enough they say yeah it looks like it's spread to the other lungs so you now have double pneumonia and we're going to admit you into the hospital can i tell you i'm embarrassed i am to only have learned when you told us about double pneumonia in my lifetime i always just thought it was like extra bad it didn't actually mean both lungs like doubled up like lung number one and to join the club it did like when you've you finally makes sense. Like when you hear, it's like, oh, well, that makes sense. You get pneumonia. I didn't know you just got pneumonia in one lung. Because I thought, when you have pneumonia, it's, you know, it's, uh, I always figured it was the whole kit and caboodle and you just, you didn't separate it. So when people say, oh, double ammonia, I'm like, oh, that's like two times as bad. That's super bad pneumonia. Yeah, no, that was, you know, when they said, oh, man, so it's spread to the other lungs and I have double pneumonia. I'm like, oh, and oh, right.

You both learn something and then learn something. Yeah, exactly. So, we get her into a hospital room and they're basically, you know, her chest pain is still really bad. She's still having an hour time breathing. They've got her hooked up to oxygen. They're trying to do everything they can to mitigate everything. And finally, in early afternoon, you know, after being there for. six or seven hours um she's the the pain is is lessening she's breathing a lot better um and she's

she's doing great so well doing great doing better let's just say yeah doing better yeah and um uh you know kind of uh it's still joking she's you know in good spirits the whole day uh not like uh what was me she's like you know joking around with me and we're we're that shit chatting. And so I had tickets to see Sparks for the first time as just the band, because I saw them with Franz Ferdinand when they were FFS,

a little joint project that they did with Friends Ferdinand for one album. And I told her, I said, well, I'll call George and see if he wants to take Barb or one of his daughters or something like that. And she's like, no, you're going. And I fully was fully prepared and said it even again,

no, I'll stay with you. There's no fun being in the hospital alone. She says, what are you going to do? Watch me, watch HG TV and fall asleep. Oh, man. For several hours. It's a really solid point, Tina. That's a great point. I can only take so much of house hunters. Bill and Elaine are looking for a small two bedroom to potentially raise a family. Blah, blah, blah. So after she, she, after I gave her two chances. I said, no, no, no, no. And then finally said, okay, two chances. And she allowed me to go. So Sunday night when saw Sparks with Uncle George. Get in there right and early Monday thinking, you know, we're going to get you out of here

pretty quick. And actually, you know what? I take that. I shouldn't preface it like that because the folks there at Lutheran Hospital were fantastic. They took good care of her. They, everybody who came in. So during the ER time, she'd have a lot of people coming in to take vitals or change in oxygen tank or something like that.

and everybody who came in as they were leaving, say, I hope you feel better soon. And it didn't feel like a, thanks for coming, have a nice day, kind of like you're trained to say this. It's like it just felt like a genuine thing that they, you know, they set on their way out. Not just platitudes. I'm sure they say it to every customer or every patient.

I don't love, I'm not a big fan of empty platitudes, so it's always nice to hear when people, you know, they sound like they're, they mean it. I don't, I wouldn't doubt it either. That sounds like a very nice thing for any hospital. Lutheran or not. It sounds like the way to live, you know? That's good.

Exactly. Nothing wrong with that. So about noon, they started the discharge process. Took about an hour and a half. Got her home at about 1.30. And that's where she's been ever since. She's upstairs resting right now. Kitty rubbing against her legs.

Oh, and now we have this extra fun thing. she's got because she still needs oxygen for a few more days until she gets her strength back up we have a concentrator which is a roller bag sized machine

that sounds like it sounds like Darth Vader learning how to breathe when he first initially got his his respirator on shortly shortly after no it's what it's what

Darth Vader sounded like and so she's got a 50-foot tube connected to that so she can kind of get around the whole house wherever she needs to go. But you know who likes long, stringy things are two cats. Oh, my gosh. I bet they're loving that. Yeah.

We are. We're basically, you know, armed with spray bottles to spray them anytime they come near that thing. But how far can she go tethered like that? Is it a pretty good length on that thing? It's 50 feet. So she can get anywhere she wants in the house. And we've got, um, we've got, um, we've got.

uh like portable tanks that we can hook her up to on a little um like a little miniature dolly yeah like they're there the regular oxygen tanks are probably three feet tall and the and it's just like a little wheel dolly that's the size of those tanks with wheels and a stand so that she can plug in her little hose to that walk around if she needs to go outside and water plants or something she can do that so i blame denver fan x for this they somebody gave her something there that's That's what we think, yeah. And it's, we were wondering about that because it's bacterial, not viral. And so I don't know, I don't know where she would have gotten it.

But, you know, we were around people for Fourth of July. We were around people, you know, prior to that. But the largest number of people in those stupid streams of, you've got to get into the stream to walk through the vendor area. The con seems like the most likely. it's a pretty good ground zero theory it feels like it right it's it's like yeah that's definitely seems like the most likely yeah well I'm really glad she's

feeling better and and feeling better all the time that's the important thing me too and she we were listening on the way back to your TMS with Bobby on the way home from the hospital and and you know hearing your description of barf all over the place and pu and diarrhea and all that stuff I said, you know, I'd still rather deal with your pneumonia than what the stuff that Scott had to deal with last week.

She's like, yeah, I'm kind of with you. It's funny because we had a similar thing. I said, oh, no, Tina's in the hospital. It's like, what's wrong? And I said, it sounds like pneumonia. This is before we knew it was confirmed. Yeah, yeah. And I guess it was just Saturday that we were talking.

And she says, oh, that's awful. I think I would rather have what happened to us happen than have to deal with that. And I said, I said, I'll bet they would say the opposite. Because when you're in the middle of this, it's just like, you know, anything feels better than what you're going through, right? But like I even asked Carter, I said, would you rather have this again, this nightmare double dragon again? Or like a just a really horrible, congesty, awful, you know, two-week chest flu thing. And she says, oh, I'd take this.

I'm like, all right, I understand what they mean. They don't mean I'd take this plus no water. please they don't mean that thing yeah you know oh a day you know 24 hours of uh of everything coming out both ends uh i'd rather do that but when you couple it with the perfect storm of uh yeah of no running water in the house and you're basically you're basically faithful eight yeah we're we're we're living little house on the prairie times for it for four days and uh that was the it was bad it was really bad yeah may it Never. May it never shadow my door again, is my hope for either of us, this business.

So that Friday morning, before we knew is pneumonia, she sent me to the store to pick up a couple things, her mucinex, that she likes, that she likes, that she prefers when she's sick. Could you go, could you go treat me to some mucinex? Make sure you get the kind I like, because I'm not taking the kind I don't like. Yeah. Exactly. So she, you know, sends me out there. I run over to our little. local King Supers. It's also called City Market in some places. I can't think of what else. There's another thing that it's called in other parts of the country.

And I score the best parking space. It is the one closest to the entrance that's not the if you're just going in to get a Starbucks order that you placed parking spot, which is the one kind of in front and to the right of me. So it's like those

pull-in diagonal cell spaces. Oh, those are good. And nothing's better than that. unless you're, if you're handicapped, you got even a slightly better one. But for the most part, that is like the primo spot. It's the primo spot.

So I run in, I grab the things that she wants. I come back out just as, just in time to see a car pull into the space opposite me. Yeah. And push into my car and hit my car

and kind of like push it. Like, you know, it's a... Like push it, like out of the way, push it? Like, push it from the front. So basically, we're both parked in head first. Yeah. And this other car is like pushing my car back a little bit. Because it's not just hit me, but it's continuing to push me back a few inches.

Why? And because I parked in this very front spot, it was easy for me to see, like coming right out of the store. I'm like, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh my gosh, witnessing that first. It's one thing to find out of it. happen later it's another to see it you know so i i go up to the the uh the driver of the white car this this car pushing in me and i'm like waving my hands and little old lady turns and looks at me like and gives me a big smile and waves back and i'm like no no no i'm not waving to say hi

and i'm gesturing she's got her window up so i'm having to gesture you hit my car and i do my two fists hitting against each other like this like bam you bam my car right there stop because you still have not turned your car off and i don't know what's going on yeah and finally she rolls down her window i said you you're in you're you're you're hitting my car right now you are pushed into my car she's like oh i said yeah you're like stop pushing your car forward anymore you've hit my car yeah oh dear i swear to god it is like it's like sylvester's mom from the warner brothers cartoons oh i love her She's amazing.

Always taking care of that, the bird, making sure the bird doesn't die. I love it. So she backs up, she turns off her car, and she gets out, and I show her, like, this of white paint now on my front panel, front right panel. And I'm like, oh, man, this is, yeah, did you, did you not feel my car that you would, you know, there's some pressure pushing against your car as you were going for? It's like, well, no, I didn't. She's parked at this dumb angle. Like, she pulled in, what's weird is,

there was a big puddle because it had rained a lot the day before and this big puddle right where she parked. And if she would have parked in straight, she would have been able to step out onto dry land and go into the store. But the way she parked at an angle, she was basically going to be,

and did, have to step in this giant puddle, giant pond to get out of the car. So I don't know if she was like, oh, I'll avoid the pond by driving in at this angle and then just completely screwed that up. Did she share with you her documentation and all that? She did not. So here's, she comes and looks at the quarter panel and is like, oh, oh gosh. And I'm like feeling like, oh, yeah, here's a little part where like she's actually taking some paint off.

Here is what she does. And it is, I wish, if it wouldn't have felt so aggressive, I would have taken my phone out and video. this, she licks her thumb and starts wiping off the white paint off of my bumper like it's a chocolate chip cookie smudge on a grandson

she's licking her thumb and wiping it off and then she licks her thumb again and wipes it off. Now keep in mind, I drive on the highway there's bugs, who knows what I've run in it? Oh yeah. What's in my car? And she keeps put that same thumb back it back to her tongue and licking and wiping off the uh the the pain granted you know i mean it was a good four inch square chunk of white paint she was doing this process she got it down to

where we could see oh yeah here's where you actually took paint off my car yeah and and i said look my wife's sick i'm getting this medicine back to her i'm not i'm not i don't have the time to deal with this right now. Yeah. You know, you can, I even said something, you can lick your thumb all you want. You're not going to replace the paint that you pulled off my car. And she just keeps on, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, so. I mean, she, sounds like she might be toward the end of her license, ability to carry a license.

For sure. Tina, Tina said, yeah, if you weren't in a hurry, you probably should have called the police, because this enters into adult protective services territory where it's like, yeah, we might need to take your keys away. You're not, you know, this is the sign of something far, far worse if you're not even able to tell that you're running into people in a parking lot. I just think the funniest reaction ever is to get out and lick your finger and say, oh, I can just buff this out. If I ever get in a car accident, that's exactly what I would do. I'm going to go up to the other car with, you know, a smushed-in fender and be like, see, it's buffing right out.

It's succumbing right out. This giant, you know, bumper sitting on the ground. Let me lick that and see if I can get it to get back up on your car. I was going to, Greg asked the question I was going to ask me. Maybe she'd give you some hard candy to make this all go away. She tried. It was all, it was like a peppermint, but it was in the candy dish so stuck to all the other peppermints in the candy dish. It came out as one giant.

one giant peppermint candy. And everything smells like a mix of aquavela and coffee somehow. That's the smell of her house. Yes, exactly. Some sort of sanitization. That is an amazing story. That may be my favorite thing to come out of all of this. Think of it this way.

Tina made the great sacrifice of acquiring double pneumonia so that you could go experience this. So I can experience this. Exactly. It's good. The sacrifices our wives make. It's amazing. we uh that's great and i hope she just continues today to just

yeah i'm sure she will she's she's gonna rest she's gonna you know let me take care of her and um get whatever she needs uh going to the walgreens i'm not going to that damn king supers anymore that's also but it's a shitty wallgreens right you always talk about it is actually the shittiest wallgreens they're yeah they're so i used to take the uh the the the one of the gigs that I do is those laptops, right? Where they send the laptops in from people leaving this company. I clean them because I'm the only guy who knows Mac in their company, and I'm not even their company.

I clean them, put a new, you know, make sure everything's updated, refresh it so that basically when they open up, they get that, hello, bonjour, bienvenu, and all that stuff, so that they can get in there and plug in their own information. Sure. And Walgreens was also a, or is also a FedEx location. Like you can drop off things and they'll take them and deliver it. Or take it and then give it to FedEx who delivers it.

Sure. And so I'd get these FedEx laptop boxes and I'd put the laptops in, seal them up, take them over to that Walgreens to the photo counter. And the same woman would always be there who would take her little scanner thing. She'd scan the label that I put on there. Say, do you need a receipt? And I'd say no, because I've got one via email. I don't need your damn paper.

And then she would take the box and she'd flip it on its end. And then, like she was flipping it over to make sure there weren't any old labels on there. And then just kind of let it fall on the counter the rest of the way. So think of it this way. She's a good comparison. Let's say it's a, I don't know, PlayStation 5. You've got your PlayStation 5 in its horizontal arrangement. And then you put it in its vertical arrangement,

and then you provide just enough pressure to the side to let it go back to a second horizontal thing on its own with gravity. It's weird that I can absolutely 100% visualize this. I've seen it before. I feel like I've seen this behavior before, and it doesn't have to happen this way. Exactly. I know. I know it's, you know, FedEx is not. going to put on their little white cloth gloves and and gently carry it to their truck and

gently place it onto a um you know onto the the stack of other boxes i know that they're going be like shug shug i just don't need to see it right in front of me i don't need i don't need to be reminded that this is the potential treatment it's going to get when it leaves my sight i want to think i want to basically live in the ignorance that it's going to get treated uh wonder and friendly, like. Yeah, you just want to eat your medium rare, freaking, you know. I don't need to see the cow.

I just want to enjoy my Wagyu burger. There you go. That's it. I don't need to see it slaughtered all over some floor. I don't need that. So be kind to the packages, everyone. That's the rule. Yeah, I probably would have been more irritated if it wasn't,

if it was my laptop. Our PO box people are screwing up left and right because they got a new notification system. So they're supposed to let me know. something arrives there and then they're supposed to send out a blast to let me know and it's not working we haven't been notified for like the last six packages and so we just kind of keep going over there saying uh did we get any is it possible you guys oh yeah here's one burp burp anyway i just want to throw a shout out he knows why vincent minucci sent me something really cool we'll talk more about it on play retro but uh sorry that took so long it's because those people have a broken

notification system and brian reminded me of it horrible uh speaking of broken things we got broken stuff in the world. One of them is always the ice cream machine at a McDonald's, right? That's always, we hear about it all the time. 90% 99% of the time the ice cream machine is broken. Well, we got a call about this and I'll let him explain what's up. My wife, 27th.

That's not it. That's for Wendy next week. Here it is right here. Hey guys, it's GameLips again over in Wisconsin. Listen into TMS 2475. I just got to the spot where you're talking about the grimace shake. Ironically, this past weekend I went out looking for

one, went to three McDonald's, all shake machines are broken. Now, I was thinking to myself, hmm, maybe there's a, like a McRid locator, similar setup or website or whatever, went and found it's called Mick Broken. And the ironic part is that it was also broken. They had a bunch of functions that were taken and, like, it just wasn't working, right? But, yeah, they actually have a McRib locator version of the Shake finder thing, I guess. So, if you're still looking for one, use Mickbroken.com and see if you can find one. All right, take, guys.

So did you try to get one of those shakes at all during the grimace thing? I never tried to be grimace shake. Yeah, if I'm going to, listen, if I'm having a milkshake, I'm going to some. I'm actually going to an ice cream store, an ice cream shop as opposed to going to McDonald's or anywhere else. Yeah. The only, the last thing that has natural anything in it is a purple shake at McDonald's. Well, exactly. The purple shake that continues to be thick, even after it melts. That's right. Oh, gosh. And then also, what else? Oh, the memes that came from it where people were doing fake videos of the aftermath. If you try to grimace shake, it'd be, you know, explosions or death or you turn into a zombie or something. There was this whole meme thing. And at first I thought, these are funny. I like these. And then after about a billion of them, I said, I don't ever want to see one of these again. I've had it with your dumb meme.

go away. Not interested anymore. I think we're over. His birthday came, we're done. Yeah, good. Right? We can move on with our lives. We can move on grimaces now, however much older he is, he's forgotten his angry ways of when he first started out when he had extra arms and was evil.

But I'm here. I'm at, I'm at McBrooken.com, and this is amazing. Like, it shows you all of the McDonald's, and all right Colfax and Wadsworth status could not be determined 10,000 West Colfax Avenue

and Lakewood checked 119 minutes ago machine broken the one that's right by my house checked also 118 minutes ago machine working I'd like to know how they

because it sounds like they check these all at the same time yeah or they're report they may have to be crowd reported you know like somehow well bad God crowd reported

car rowd report it wouldn't mean that they'd all be showing 118 minutes ago checked at the same time unless somebody is actively driving around and hitting they have a map of all the mcdonalds and just i don't know that's a good question like how would you get this data but mine mine says up and down the salt lake valley 17.75% are broken uh in new york 38.78 like they have percentages and yes i love the the percentages on the side yeah yeah uh the ones near me. It looks like the two near me are working, but most of the ones in the valley are down. What's the time check

on the two near you that are working when you click on the little green dot? Let's see. This one right here is probably closest. Yeah. Time stamp 136 minutes ago. Okay. Interesting. The West Jordan location. If I check another one.

Oh, they're all saying 136 if I hover on them. Yeah, okay. So isn't that weird? But I really like Mac Attic 89's theory and the He says, I think they use the ordering app, which is brilliant, right? Because you know, like, if you open up the McDonald's app and say, I'd like a milkshake, it'll either say currently not available or great, what size would you like? And they're probably using some sort of API to simultaneously order a shake from every McDonald's in the Denver metro area.

Yeah, it's why I really like this site, actually. It's very useful. It's amazing, yeah. Yeah. Oh, the Harriman location. I could definitely go get one there. There you go. Well, this is cool. You hover over them on the side and they, and they blink at or, you know, light up over there. Almost like we're watching a movie where it's like, there he is, get him. Swarm, swarm. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, that's awesome. I like a good site like that. All right. Well, thank you for that information. We appreciate the knowledge we now possess. All right, Brian, it's time for this right here. I don't watch the news. We're going to do a little bit of news, and it's brought to you by.

A header that's been in here since I think Tuesday, or Wednesday. Grumpy James Jonathan employees. So we were at Jimmy Johns the other day, right after we were starting to feel better. We were just starting to feel better. We're like, all right, what do you want to do? Oh, no, me, was this pre-sick? I don't want to say, you know, I can look back. Let's see.

It would have been, I would have put it in on, put it. You know what it was? I put it in for Thursday. It happened Tuesday. You had it in here July 5th, which was when. Wednesday. Right. That's what I'm saying.

Before the blowout. Right. That's what I'm saying. So I put it in there before that, which means I experienced it the day before. So this happened to me on the holiday. We went to get Jimmy Johns and to go sit somewhere. Yep. And like a river by the park.

Not a parking lot. Not the Home Depot parking lot. No, no. It was like we wanted somewhere nice. We found some ducks in a river and a whole, you know, thing. So we did that. But while we were at Jimmy Johns, we went inside to get them. because their drive-up was crazy.

So we went inside, and that was fine. We were the only people in there. And Kim goes up to the thing and says, here's what we want. And this guy, this stone-faced guy, seems so pissed at the cash register the whole time. No reason. We didn't do anything weird.

We just said, we'll take this one, this one, and this one. And he goes, great. And she goes, can we get an extra pickle with each one of those? And he goes, can you? Like that to her face? and then after that was he was he doing the parent thing of like i'm sorry may i have an extra pickle with each of those like he was trying to correct your your grammar usage the may or can could be now that you say that i wonder but but not then then after that he goes uh she goes

and for the loyalty because usually they ask for the card or the number yes right he goes do you need that at all and he goes i don't need it oh jeez this guy's having a bad they either having a real bad day or he just got in a fight or he's on these this close to quitting and all i can think about is please let him not be the one making the sandwiches could somebody else back there be doing it thankfully someone else did it but he was a grumpy sack and by the end we were like you know you could have had one of these magical kim moments in your life you didn't get to have it because you were so grouchy she had a casserole in the trunk just waiting to give to you if you would have been friendly at the cash register yeah or at the least at the least she'd have

passed him like a five or something, you know? Just to be, hey, thanks a lot. We know you guys are busy. Instead, he just actively, purposefully made it impossible to want to like that guy. Anyway, that's what that was about. Jerk. The jerk store called.

They want that guy back. And they can have a pickle with you. That's right. Can we get pickles with that? I don't know. Can you? But an a hole. And I told that, or I, well, anyway, it's a long story.

I talked to the Jimmy John's. manager there and I just said he might just be having a terrible day I don't want him in trouble or anything but you know you probably ought to know yeah maybe maybe you talk to the guy then I got sick and I forgot all about it um all right uh and no it's not we didn't get sick from jimmy johns okay whole different thing van never had it carter didn't have any jimmy john no so you can't no and nick and erb uh taylor and dillon both got violently sick they had nothing to do with that day so Oh, yeah. All right, Mori Povich is in the news. Mori Povich.

Oh, really? Yeah. Remember that guy? He's a deal for a while. Not the father. That's right. And he's married to what, Connie Chung, I think. Connie Chung, yeah.

Still together. Dad, I don't know. He's launching an at-home paternity test, fittingly called, The Results Are In. Is that a thing he used to say all the time or something? Yeah, that was their whole, like, this show basically just devolved into, I think my baby belongs to Jed over here, but it could be Jeds or it could be Bobby Lees. And they bring them both on the show.

It felt like early on. It felt like early on it felt more like they were trying to do a legitimate talk show. And then later it just turned into this like Jerry Springer Jr. It was basically right. You know, they all have good intentions at the start. Jerry Springer and Moripovich and all of them. these and uh yeah no they basically it's like oh we're getting we get a lot better ratings when we do these paternity test episodes so i guess we'll just continue to do it's like the it's the entire

tlc network to me yeah they started out being called literally called the learning channel yeah seemed like we're going to get like a discovery like you know here's some educational science thing here's a show all about science whatever right and then they turned around and said nah we're mostly about this midget family sorry a small person family, this two-headed girl. Right, this 600 pounds, sisters, or whatever. A&E, right, arts and entertainment, the AD channel. Oh, look how highfalutin we're going to be.

And, oh, well, maybe we could put an asterisk next to arts and an asterisk next to entertainment as well. I feel like it all says more about us than them because they clearly had to pivot to make the money or to make their channels relevant. And so why did they? Because we consumed it or demanded it or clearly it wasn't good enough to just have science on TLC? They had to titillate us with a two-headed girl, you know? If it's outrageous, it's contagious. It's really weird. Well, anyway, the former Mori host, the show's not on the air anymore, he's 84 now, is partnering with DNA Diagnostic Center,

the same DNA testing lab, his daytime talk show relied on to settle guest's paternity disputes, as Brian was describing, Jed's baby. During those often offensive, or excuse me, explosive segments on the show, Povich would utter his famous catchphrase, the results are in before revealing the child's paternity. The company said in a release that it would be this new test aiming to provide families with an affordable, accurate, reliable paternity test from the comfort of their homes. So really, it's just them using his stupid phrase.

It's nothing else. That's it. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. It's boring. It's basically like the Kola guard saying, here our new tagline is please shit in this box That should be the news

Sign me up Shit in a box I'm ready to go Please shit in this box Thank you I'm down with that I had to look it up because I want to make sure That Mori's real first name was Maurice

Like that Mori is short for Maurice and it is It is confirmed it is yes he's Maurice Povich Nice and Connie Chong was never Connie Povich right that just sounded wrong yeah

I think she she said she's keeping her established brand of I'm curious if she legally changed

like if she I'm sure she just kept her name right she's Constance Chung so Constance Chung it has to be

Wade Maurice Povich and Constance Chung she must be a lot younger than him let's see she's 76 oh geez

well not 10 Only about eight years. Eight years. Okay. Well, that's less than I thought, but she doesn't ever seem like that she's in her 70s. That blows my mind. I know.

She looks great. I like Connie Chung. He probably looks like an old lizard by now. Anyway. The results are in. You're part lizard. Yep. You're in a guise.

And you were the whole time. An Oregon family has finally legalized pumping your own gas after 70. Oregon family. Sorry. Oregon, the state of Oregon. finally is the word I was trying to read. Legalizes pumping your own gas after 72 years. Now that I think about it, last time we drove through Oregon,

I think I remember being surprised that I couldn't do it. Yeah, you couldn't do it. No, we did one of my favorite road trips of all time, may be my favorite road trip of all time. We started in Seattle and drove down the Pacific Coast Highway all the way to Santa Barbara, or actually all the way to Los Angeles. And it was, I had no idea before entering Oregon that you couldn't pump your own gas there. And it was just so weird.

It's like, great. So now you have to pump my gas. I sit here and just watch you. And now I have to tip you because you did a thing that I was fully prepared to do. Yeah. You could totally do yourself. And in every other state you do exactly that, your entire life. And then suddenly Oregon's like, nope, we got our ways here.

Yeah. Well, that's no longer the case. I've always wanted to say, oh, fill her up. Yep. Fill her up, my good man. That's right. Actually, at about age 10, or age 12, Moripovich would have seen this law enacted, but now this many years later. Oh, wow. No kidding. Look at that. Yeah. This many years later, they're repealing it.

Let's see. They repealed it. They say there have been, let's see, the intermediate years in exceptions, notably in rural counties. So that's been going on for a while since 2017. During wildfires and heat waves since 2020, they've had exceptions. But House Bill 24, as proposed would require gas stations to, sorry, staff half of the available pumps, but allow the other half to be self-service. So they're not even going all the way.

They still are, it's still like half those pumps need to be serviced or, you know, manned. And then the other half Brian can go fill his car with. Give me an app that shows me were the ones I can go to. That's a weird thing to keep around. Yeah, yeah, it really is. It just feels like so, so old-timey. So, you know, of an era. But then again, I guess, you know, the country, I don't know, is going back to some of those old and discriminatory ways.

And I guess, you know. Let's be antiquated. Why not? Yeah. Let's, yeah. What was I going to say about that? Oh, I remember the first time I think we went to California or something when I was a kid. And I remember, well, I was probably 12 or 13.

So I was a young teen. And going to California and my dad having to pay for gas first and then pump it. You couldn't, you had to go in, pay for what you said you were going to do. Yeah. And then go out and fill the car and try to get it to the exact penny of the 50 bucks or the 25, you know, whatever you paid. Right. I mean, before, you know, it was probably the early, if they even had them yet, credit card readers to where you basically had to go in and give them cash. or write a check and say, I'm going to do $18.

I'm going to fill up my tank, $18 worth of gas, please, or probably even back then, even less than that, $14 worth of gas. Boy, gas prices sure are higher, aren't they? All right, I signed it. Here's my check. It's crazy because nowadays, you know, you even think about it. You just swipe your card and you get out of there. Exactly, yeah.

But back then it was like, and when I was driving a car in high school, we would always fill whatever I was going to do and then go pay. But then the states were probably. high rates of people rip them off. Like if you weren't in South Jordan, but maybe you were in, I don't know, Orum, they might require you to go in and pay first before you. Yes, Oram, the high crime capital. I don't know what the high crime areas of Utah are, if they're already.

There are a couple. We got, so North Salt Lake, which is a little sketchy. Draper? No, Draper is like rich jerks. Draper is the hoi-hoi. Yeah, oh, big-time hoi-hoi. Um, and then I guess Ogden maybe has a little bit of scruff going on. Okay.

All right. But yeah, for the most part, we're pretty. We're all right. Yeah. You don't have an, we have an Aurora. Oh, it's Aurora your, your zone there. That's, uh, when they film cops in Denver, they film it in Aurora. Uh, yeah.

I'm trying to think like when I was a kid, Westside meant crime, but now it doesn't at all. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's the other for us. It's east side means crime. Even like, even east sides of, um, of cities, like the east side of Arvada is a little more crimy than the west side of Arvada. Eastside when I was growing up used to mean rich and affluent, and now it means boomers and bad opinions is what it means. If you live on the East Side. Listen, if we learn anything from the

Jeffersons, you're moving on up when you move to the east side. Yeah, that's what they said. That's what they told me. That's right. Then you finally get a piece of the pie. Yeah. Yeah. And that really weird, tall, white neighbor guy. He was like, uh, lurch, I think is well. They would call him lurch, had that not been taken by another TV show. He was rather lurchy. No question about it. He was on Breaking Bad ones, though.

That was fun. I don't know. Better Call Saul. Anyway. Oh, was he? Okay. Yeah, some lawyer on Better Call Saul season two or three, maybe. They had the guy who was on, uh, from the, the Jeffersons.

Yeah. He's still around. It's actually kind of a cool, you know, some of these actors, they just get cooler, the older they get. Yeah. he's like that he just got cool and i got benedict okay i was so sad about the uh passing of uh adam arkin or alan arkin sorry adam markan's still alive um i love that guy and almost everything i've ever seen him in and i realized that i had never seen um uh glengarry glen ross

which i was always told this amazing movie right yeah i'd never seen it so i thought you know what i'm going to skip right over parasite again and watch this uh so i did I'm not, you know what, I am not at all, I feel that was a very good choice. I feel like that was Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross, that whole Alec Baldwin's speech, you've probably seen all of the, like, the SNL parody, the toys, the Santa Claus and the toys. Yeah, it almost felt like watching it for the first time, and it happens early. It's like the first 10 minutes of the movie. And it's all very mammat dialogue, you know, very fast-paced, all this stuff. and I remember seeing it this time or I saw it this time

and it felt like almost a parody of something else because I've seen all the parodies before and I didn't realize how tied to it was but anyway that movie is amazing and Jack Lemon is insane in that he's so good but not Jack Lemon yeah no Jack Lemon Jack Lemon's amazing it

I've never seen that movie and you can it's stressful like yeah it reminds me why I'm really glad I don't work in the 9 to 5 anymore Bales. No, I'm kidding. Oh, my gosh. By the way, Paul Benedict is the actor we were talking about from Jefferson's.

And if you're unfamiliar, just Google image search him. And you'll see that the guy's face is half chin. Yeah. Like his mouth, when we learned to draw faces in art class, Scott and I, we were told you draw your little oval. You bisect the oval and your eyes go there. No, his mouth goes at that halfway point. He made it seem like our art teachers were lying to us, is what it made him. he really did exactly wait a minute what about paul benedict but this guy here this second image search

here where he's a mustache and looking older that's what he looked like in saul and he was very good in that role that's cool still working that dude he's tall isn't he or maybe holly yeah yeah i think he's he's might be it he's hollywood tall because hollywood tall is like six foot you know it's like yeah everyone's like oh jeff goldblum he's so freaking tall and i'm like i'm taller than jeff goldblum just by this much, just by a little bit. But, you know, he's like six, two and a half or something. All right, moving on. I also saw him, but I'm going to talk more about that on Recommendals tomorrow.

Cool. Let's see, what else? Actually, I guess that'll do it. We're going to take a break. When we come back from the break, we'll talk to Bill. Okay. He's got stuff, I'm sure. And a little bit of science talk with Bobby as well.

Bobby was just here. Now he'll be back. We'll see what he has to say. And a few more things to finish this out today, so stick around after this song that Brian hath brought. Yeah, this is a band from Boston, a six-piece band called The Burning Paris. Brand new album is going to be coming out later this year, but for right now, this is first track you're going to be able to hear from it. The upcoming album is called Everything is Broken and I Don't Feel a Thing. So hopefully you're ready for some good old down-tempo rock, kind of like the band Low, if you like Low, Tender Stick.

You'll like this. From the album, upcoming album, Everything is Broken. I don't feel a thing. Here is the Burning Paris and The Fire Lines. This is a still life, she says Under her soft like a kill of dead stars You were happier than I'd see you in years.

Between me, my friend. Between you and me and me. I don't know. this is beautiful I said this is love I said this is beautiful And you should have known my now Yes, you really should have known now

Yes, you should have known but now. I said this is the beautiful, I said this is beautiful, I said this is well. You know, This is a STILLI- This is a still-A- Jesus I'm good soft like you're killed in soul. Heinz ketchup. Think how good it's gonna taste when it finally gets there.

Well this guy owes me bacon now. That was Arnold Schwarzenegger, by the way. Hey, we're back. Oh, wow. Everyone. Welcome back to the show. Hey, Brian, who is that again? The song, the fire lines, the band, the Burning Paris.

The upcoming album, Everything is Broken and I. Don't feel a thing. Check it out today. Sounds like my week. Everything is broken and I don't feel the thing. Everything is broken and I can't poop in the house. That's right. Oh my gosh, dude. Just the thinking of, just the memory of it all. So bad. Oh, oh. Real quick here, the song you had me play yesterday for the, uh, the outro, the outro song, the cover.

The cover, yeah, the, uh, um, I can't help falling in love, Haley Reinhart. That was so good. Yes. She's got one of those voices that, that, you know, can melt butter. It's just so warm and comforting. It's like a nice, hot, weighted blanket. I repeated that a bunch yesterday. played it a whole bunch and I loved it. Okay. So, speaking of loving things, let's love on Bill Duran. Let's love on Bill.

Yeah. Let's give him some love. Sure. Some friendly man love. He's earned it. He's definitely earned it. That's weird. Added him and then didn't.

Hold on. Let's try that again. Add. Create. Okay. Back is totally hurting. Oh, we don't want that. We don't want that to be good.

We don't. We don't want it. Here's this, everyone. There's still some. Something wrong, isn't there, Bill? No, there's nothing wrong. Bill over at PunishProps.com never does anything wrong. He just makes cool stuff, and then we have to just groove on it and wish we could do cool

stuff. And then maybe sometimes we get inspired to do cool stuff because, well, he's an inspiring guy. Hey, Bill, welcome to the show. Hello, good morning. I have missed all of you. Oh, we've missed you too. That's right. We had a holiday since the last time we all talked.

Right. And then I was out of town before that. That's right. You've had two weeks out of here. It's like almost not a month, but, you know, two weeks since we've talked to you last. I guess it's been three weeks, technically, since we've spoken to you. That's a really long time. I imagine during that time you've done everything in the world, and now you can just tell us what it was that you did.

You finished making everything. Everything's done. Sure. No, I went out a family trip, not a vacation. A trip. There's a difference. You need a vacation after you get back from a family. Exactly.

That's the difference. I don't usually redo a deck on vacation, but I definitely did that on this family trip. You redid a deck, like the entire process of redoing a deck tearing out the old one and all that? Yep. Oh, my Lord, that's a lot. Holy moly. Oh, yeah. Okay.

But that's not what I'm here to talk about today. Oh, all right. Now, today I want to talk about an event I went to called Flight Fest. So we flew, my family lives in New York. However, my brother and sister-in-law live in Ohio, and there's an event in Ohio called Flight Fest. So we flew into Ohio, met up with my brother-in-law, and our two nieces. My brother-in-law is an Air Force engineer, and he is a super RC plane nerd. And this event, Flight Fest, which is held in Malvern, Ohio, is a gathering of RC plane enthusiasts.

So over on YouTube There's a channel called Flight Test They're also in Ohio A huge channel They do tons of cool stuff With RC planes and drones and all that And every year they They host this event called Flight Fest

And hundreds, maybe thousands of people show up It's a whole weekend long event sort of thing We only stayed for the one day Because we had to get going on to New York But it seems like most people will like bring a camper, bring in our RV or tents or whatever, and stay for the whole weekend. It's pretty cool. And we might go back next year and plan to stay for the whole weekend because that seems like the thing to do.

People have like cookers and stuff set up. Very community oriented. Lots of friends you could tell. It's like Ohio's Burning Man. Yeah. Kind of, yeah. Flying man. So hold on a second.

I'm looking at some of these pictures and they seem like some of these. these planes are very customized, like very hand-built. And that's the idea, right? Everyone's bringing everything from, you know, super high-end fancy business to I made this. Soft-lift camels to, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's cool.

There were lots of families and lots of kids. I think one of the sort of defining features is that they are very into getting young people into the hobby, which is very important. And I thought it was really cool because I like making more. acres, and that's exactly how you do it, right? Right. You make events for children to show up, low barrier to entry, and there's a ton of activities for them and anyone to do.

They say anyone from 8 to 88 or something like that. So, for example, if you show up without a plane or anything, you can, everything you need, you can buy there. You can buy a kit to assemble these foam board planes. They make their planes out of basically foam core, so it's cheap, it's lightweight, weight, it's easy to fix. And they have all the electronics there. And it's a little while, too.

The electronics are starting to get cheaper than the food. There's like little microcontrollers and stuff for $5. And the nine-inch pizza I got there was 15. So it's a little wild. It's almost perfect for you, though, because you can get that stuff cheap. And, well, the little microelectronics probably cheaper there than you get them at your local hobby store, Amazon, wherever you tend to get those. Sure, sure, I bet.

The folks at flight tests, the way they make their money is they design these kits for different planes. They give out free plans. If you want to just buy your own foam and build your plane at home, you can download a free template to cut out all the foam and make it yourself, or they have a warehouse full of plane kits that you can buy. They have their own branded motors and, and controllers, they had the receivers and transmitters

and everything you need. Most of the planes were battery powered. So you could just show up and have a kit to build right there. And then they also had, they have all these tents set up and several of the tents were for workshops. With organized builds, you can sign up for one of these workshops, show up, you have the kit right there,

and then someone will guide you through the entire build for a couple hours. And then you can immediately go and fly the thing. That's awesome. Which I think it's just really, really cool. Again, like I said, a lot of these workshops kits and stuff were designed for kids. And my two nieces did one of the workshops. They showed up, got their kits right there, sat down and had someone talk them through it.

There were a whole bunch of other people building their kits. And there was someone walking around helping anyone who was having trouble. So that way, everyone gets to finish their kids. kit. If they need to help, they get it. And then they can go right out and fly it. The girls made these little gliders, just hand-thrown gliders, which is a really great entry point for the hobby. And for learning how to build stuff. And of course, learning how to fix them and learning how to deal with things when your sister breaks your plane. That's a whole thing.

Oh, no. Yeah, some life skills have to be learned. Absolutely. Lots of life skills. Of course, Brittany and I were there. We got to help our nieces fix their planes and help guide them through the sibling turmoil that was involved. And everyone got to have a whole lot of fun. That's awesome.

That sounds like a total blast. I don't, you know, when I was a kid, I wanted to be more into RC than I could be because it was cost prohibitive to do anything cool that I thought was cool. So it was a lot of Radio Shack crap, you know, that I would bring home. Yeah.

Yeah. And it was realistic stuff. Yeah, probably. It's probably the realistic name. And they were usually the crappy ones where it was like just the little trigger controller. There weren't like two sticks or... Oh, those RC cars where like you pull the trigger and it goes forward and you push it forward and it goes backwards and turns a little bit.

Yeah, yeah. That's basically a rip-off. It's such a rip-off. And they were, they lasted like a day and your, you know, big triple C or double A battery or no, they've been C batteries. Big C batteries just littering the house because you have. It would only last like 10 minutes in those things. And then I had a tethered one.

That's the dumbest thing you could ever buy, by the way. It only worked. A wired? Yeah, it wasn't even like remote controlled. It was wired. I had to run with the car to be with it. So this stuff makes me wish for a different childhood when I hear you describe it. So I was very fortunate.

One of the coolest things my dad did. So my dad races snowboats. He's very into it. He's been into it for 60 years now. now. And he did it a lot when I was a small child. But when I was 10, my mom went back to school to get her degree and become a teacher. And dad quit racing sailboats. He gave it up so that he had had more time with us. Right. But to sate his sailing lust, he started building RC sailboats. So we had a little part of our basement that he walled off. It had a fire

place in there and we turned that into a hobby shop, a little hobby workshop. That's so cool. And he started these sailboats and we got to help him with the sailboat. And then we got cars and then we got an RC plane and boats. Like it turned into just the coolest little RC shop at her basement. So for my teen years, we did that a ton. Now we had a plane. But here's a thing. It was like one of those balsawood planes. We spent months building it. You had to like, ironed this, this, uh, mylar over the, the structure. Um, it was gas powered, which was just terrifying and, uh, inconsistent. And then flying it, if you crashed it a little bit, it was like a week or two to fix it. It was this huge commitment. Yeah. And it was pricey. Um, now we got to have

a lot of fun with that plane until eventually it lost, my dad was flying it. It lost contact with the receiver and just kept going. Yeah. into the trees until they had to go and find its remains. The planes, we were able to rescue the engine and the electronics, which was good. But the rest of it was a total loss. I'll bet, yeah. No, that's great, what a fun thing. I didn't have that.

I don't want that. It was really cool. Now, the neat thing about the way that the guys at flight test do it is it's not that huge commitment, right? It's a much cheaper kit. And especially that everything's made out of foam core, like I said, Super easy to fix. Super fast to fix.

Just hot glue stuff back together. You're in the air 10 minutes later. And there was a lot of that happening at Flight Fest. Nice. There was lots of flying, obviously. You got a lot of the repetition. Build the plane, fly the plane, crash the plane, fix the plane, over and over again all weekend long.

Which means people would do lots of weird fun stuff. They would try out and experiment a lot, which was really exciting. And then my favorite event, to watch every few hours they did something called combat everyone would throw their planes in the air there were over a hundred planes in the air it was just chaos and the last plane in the air wins so is demolition derby with rc planes yeah oh my god you've got to just put your junkiest like when they hit something else do you see them racing over to like where all their pieces are falling down to at least retrieve the motor no you got you got to wait you got to wait till it's done

until all the planes are out of the air. Yeah, that would make sense because, yeah, otherwise you've got more parts raining down on you. Yeah, just an anarchy. Yeah. Oh, my God. I don't know if I'd like that.

I mean, I'd love to watch it, but I would feel so like, oh, I spent so much time building that thing, even if it was a little junk plane that I knew I was using for this purpose. Right. Sure. Oh.

Well, that's the thing. People purpose build them for that event. And also people have multiple planes, too. Right. And if your plane gets totally demolished, you can just rescue the electronics. and build a new one out of foam. Yeah.

And a lot of that was going on. So it's a really fun event. It encouraged a lot of creativity, a lot of learning of fun maker skills, and I had a really great time. Are you any, are you going to suddenly, I don't know, we're suddenly going to get a bunch of remote control stuff from Bill? Are you going to go nuts on this stuff now that you've been exposed in this way? I think I'd like to build something for next year's event if we end up going.

Like I said, my brother-in-law lives nearby and he's way in. it and he's trying to get the grills into it too yeah um the the guys at flight uh flight test have a kit for the duck or the the the tailspin plane the sea duck so it's one of those planes that can lay in the water

and I'm very into that so I'm thinking maybe I'll buy that kit and put it together and I can paint it up to look all like the cartoon I think that would be super cool that would be great well I'm uh I think this stuff sounds awesome and um I can't wait for you to go again and tell us even more. I'd go to this.

Obviously, if I build this plan, I'll share that build out. The process, please do, yeah. If I still lived in that area and had a camper, why wouldn't you go to this? Just go. Oh, for sure. We might rent a, fly nearby, rent a camper and go and stay the whole weekend.

I think that'd be great. That sounds all right. My grandparents used to do this. They just travel a country and go to all the camping events that would just let you have a camper there. They would go to this and not give two shits about the planes. Oh, yeah. Just get your grill out,

Watch the carnage. That would be awesome. Make greasy eggs and pancakes and, oh, man. Well, this is great. As always, hey, Bill, you often have a little bit of a bonus link here for us. What do you got? I do. So at the event, another YouTuber Peter Striple was there.

He does a lot of fun experimenting with RC planes. And he tried to make the longest RC airplane. And it's, oh, my God. It is obnoxiously long. And we got to watch him fly it, which was really good. cool and of course he put a video up on his channel so it's peter striple s or striple s ripol whoa uh yeah i can't believe that they can fly that's oh yeah yeah it's absolutely absurd and they kept making it longer they flew it and then it it flew it just fine so they made it longer

and they flew it again and it's just basically adding another chunk of fuselage to the middle and more wings oh yeah more wings i think it had five wings by the end of it uh and then they flew it in the combat at the end and um i won't spoil how that went but you can make some predictions yeah feels like the length may be worked against it in the combat competition um i didn't realize this until this video because we i was just looking at their website before but they they set up these like landing strips that's so cool yeah oh yeah that's awesome all right well go check that out that how long can an rc plane or rc plane be on peter stripoles channel and of course punish props.com as as the Punish Props, YouTube channel

is the place you want to go and be. Bill, it's always good to have you on, man. I'm glad you had a good time, and it's glad to, or it feels good to have you back. We'll see you next week. Thanks, friends. Bye. Bye. Wow, look at that thing. Oh, I hope Bobby checks this video out

because this is so, oh my God, looking at this massive thing trying to get off the ground. Oh, and it's flying. Wow. Yeah, I can't believe it worked. I'm to be honest. I would have been like, nah, my money would have been on that doesn't fly

at the big size. No, kidding. Five pairs of wings. It's like a... It seems impossible to me, but... Yeah. Well, what do we know? We know this, though. Silence! Bob is hungry, and the soup looks good. Oh, look who it is. It's a one-time guest host from yesterday, Bobby Frankenberger, joining us today to talk about some science. Bobby, welcome back to the program. How are you? I'm doing... I'm doing well. I'm doing all right.

All right. You hesitated. convincing really yeah yeah well i was talking about it yesterday on the show i'm it's with my child gone it's it's been a rough business it's hard right i don't like it i don't like it when the kids when they're especially when they're they're young i always hated it if they went away for i feel like i can't get anything done and and she's having a rough time too so it's like both of us and yeah the worst part is cleaning up after all the parties i had after tristan moved out woohoo it's like blur uh well that that's right look Bobby, I understand, and I hope, the hope is, right, that she'll come home and go, oh, actually, that was kind of great.

I met friends I never would have had otherwise. I kind of wish I could go good. I'm not so sure that's going to happen. Yeah. You feel? She's, she's struggling with the, like I've told you yesterday, she's a pretty anxious kid. Yeah. And she's struggling with some homesickness really hard, some, some just, just struggling. And it was like, I was getting to the point last night where I was like, maybe I'll just go and get her. but then I thought after after because she keeps asking come home and um after like a minute I thought you know what no like I feel like I feel like if I were to do that yeah part of it would be that I'm trying to relieve my anxiety which is not fair to her right um and and then the other

part of it is is like I feel like if I go and get it that's teaching the wrong lesson it is yeah you know like even if it's hard I feel like there's a valuable lesson to be learned in knowing like like hard things sometimes you have to you don't you can't just run away from them right um so we're we're sticking it through and and she is by all accounts like she seems to be having a good time i think she but you know like how when she how long will she be away when the whole thing is said and done uh for five nights so total of like six days as long as this place isn't called freddies she'll be fine yeah so i think she's doing all right she just um she's She just, she's a, she's a ruminator.

She gets, she, she ruminates on, on, like, negative thoughts or bad things that have happened and stuff like that. And so, yeah. It's kind of, like, constantly reminding her, you're doing a great job and remember, try to focus on all the positive things. And also trying to get her to stop calling me so often. Not that I don't want to hear it, but I think, like, that sends her back into that, like, homesickness mode, you know? Right. She's also not taking advantage of the fact that, you know, she could be using that time to go on and hang out with. friends. Yeah, yeah, exactly. The hard thing, well, whatever. You gave birth to me. This was

me as a kid. I would get fiercely homesick when I would be away. And I hated it. And I remember nights were the worst part. Not because you were just left. Oh my God. I'm so glad you brought that up. Yeah. Just because like, like it makes me feel better that that's what it is. Like all day, she might, she might text us or sometimes she'll even forget to call and maybe she's feeling down or something like that but she gets through it and then the night time comes and like my stomach is turning because she's having a terrible time and the nights are rough yeah nights are the worst part if you're a homesick kid yeah because you're just left you're left alone in your own head uh you're in a strange place you're trying to sleep it's almost impossible i get this way you know so there've been times as an

adult i still get this way it's a it's a thing man it sucks yeah totally but you're doing the right thing and uh she should totally stick it out and yeah yeah yeah yeah She'll come home and feel better that she did the whole time, you know? Yeah, and we'll give her a big hug, and we'll all be really happy on Thursday that she's back. Where'd you guys get this? Hold on. My daughters just both showed up. Where'd you get this?

The planetarium? Hey, perfect for science time. Real quick here. I'll show the chat room this. That's hilarious. Look at that. This is the tiniest he-man action. Whoops, I can't get full camera.

Hold on. There we go. Look at this tiny. So tiny. mint on card mint on postage stamp you can open it he moves he has tiny weapons and he's he's he's adjustable oh my gosh i have the power planetarium oh what's this one yeah the planetarium this actually works it's a tiny little view finder oh that's awesome a little viewmaster where'd you guys go there for just for funzies oh did he infect that place with the bum flu as well i guess he man was the master masters of the universe that's true it would be appropriate for a planetarium because you've got that's where you see the universe yeah that's great why he man i wonder that's odd okay sorry for this interruption bobby this is your segment

it's okay i i do want to hear about the masters of the universe yeah they just showed up and said look at these dad and okay speaking to speaking to weird kids but anyway uh i'm sure she'll be great when she gets home yeah i think so i think so but as a result um i didn't prepare anything for today but i do have something to talk about. Oh, good. Because I've also been flight planning. I've got a night flight tonight. Oh, cool.

Are you nervous about your night? Are you a little nervous about it? You can tell you you sound a little. No, no, no, no. It's just it takes work to flight plan. I'm not nervous about it. I'm like, I'm ready to fly. You're a pro now.

Give me my damn license already. Let me ask you this, though, about a night flight. Is this, well, is this your first night flight or is this another of many? It's my first, I've told you what a cross- country is before. It's just a 50 nautical mile distance flight at least. It's my first night cross country. I've flown at night at our airport and done 10 takeoffs and landings at night before. So I've seen what flying looks like at night, but I've not done a cross country at night yet. Okay. I'm excited for you, though. That sounds like I'm stepping. Yeah, I'm looking

forward to it. It's going to be a lot of fun. It's just the planning. The point was that the flight planning takes a lot of work. And so I've been, I had to work on that this morning instead of searching through the news, but fortunately I have big news from last week that we can talk about. Oh, fantastic. Which is that just recently, just last week, in fact,

the nanogram, the people at nanograv, that's a, it stands for North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves. They've collected some pretty excellent data on gravitational waves, and they've basically used a brand new method, and this is the excitement,

thing. They've used a brand new method to detect gravitational waves and have determined that we, everything, the whole universe, but that includes us, we are awash in a constant hum of gravitational waves, like a veritable ocean bobbing us up and down and gravitational waves. And it's pretty amazing because do you guys know what gravitational waves are? Well, no. I mean, I think we know what gravity is. We know what gravity is and we know what waves are. But I guess what I'm saying is, is like we're on the planet. The planet is causing the mass of Earth is causing gravity for all of us right now.

We all weigh something and are pulled down. Except for her. Exactly. Or the finish. They're all floating around about two inches above the ground. But the rest of us are in the meat space. We are getting pulled down to the Earth because of those reasons. You're saying this is an addition

to that. There's like some other kind of things. So it's very, very complicated. There's a gravitational field that we live in. that we exist in, that's what causes gravity is this gravitational field. And whenever you have a massive object, an object with mass is what I mean, it warps space time and it has an effect on that gravitational field. And it makes objects, that's what makes objects gravitationally attracted to each other,

like the earth to the sun, the moon to the earth, right? Whenever a massive object, so normally that just creates a force and exerts a force, and warps the space time around it. Now, the space-time is quite literally the fabric of our universe, okay? Right. It is all around us. It's kind of like the force. It's all around us.

It flows through us. But far fewer metaclorians. Yes, exactly. Instead, there are what I think gravitrons is what they call it. It sounds very sci-fi-y, but that's what it is. That was a video game, I think. Gravatron? I think it was.

It was, yeah. I kept crashing my little spaceship into the moon. So whenever an object with mass accelerates in any way, it creates waves or ripples in space time. And they call them gravitational waves. Now, normally these are too small to ever detect. And I'm talking about any acceleration. You move your arm, and technically it's happening

because you're accelerating your arm in space, right? They're just going to be so small that you can't detect them. Sure. sure um but when we can detect them is when supermassive objects accelerate in space now what an acceleration and they have to be accelerating very very quickly um so what are what types of things are we talking about we're talking about um pulsars or neutron stars uh or or black holes whenever they are accelerating now when i say accelerate i don't necessarily mean like on a highway um uh not that's it's not like it's going in a straight line

and putting its foot on the accelerator and increasing its speed. Acceleration happens. Like that old lady at the Walgreens, Brian, or wherever you were. Exactly. Right. When that collision happened with your car, there were gravitational waves were made. Sure. Sure. We could not detect them. You know what they call those, gladys waves. That's what those are called.

That's what those are called. It's the official term. Exactly. Yeah. But acceleration is defined not just as going, changing your velocity in a straight line, but whenever you change your velocity in any vector. And so that's a lot of math words that I just said. But what I mean is to the take-home point is that an object, when it's moving in an orbit, since it's constantly changing its direction, even if it's going at the same speed, quote-unquote, because it's constantly changing its direction as it moves around in a circle,

it's constantly accelerating because its velocity is changing because velocity, it's constantly turning. Does that make sense to you guys? Yeah, I get that. Okay. So when two massive objects, like two black holes or two neutron stars, are orbiting each other, they will start to get closer and closer together, and they'll orbit super fast. So their velocities are changing very quickly, and they create ripples in space time. So, like, imagine two speedboats in a lake, and they're circling each other, there would be waves emanating around them, right?

That's what we're talking about. And so we've been able to detect those for a while. Have you ever heard of LIGO? Yeah. I haven't. So let's pretend, let's pretend there's people on a Vardians who have not heard of this thing. They probably have not heard. I know exactly what it is.

I've heard of it. I've heard of it. I've heard of it. Ligo, it stands for laser interferometer, gravitational wave observatory. I love these acronyms in astronomy that don't tell you any more about what they actually do if you don't know what they. it feels like it's almost is this an acronym like where they came up

with LIGO first and said let's come up with letters definitely not because if you know what the individual words mean it actually perfectly explains what it is it uses lasers that's the L there's these two lasers and these two lasers are pointed

at each other and create an interference pattern where they intersect they're 90 degrees away from each other so they're aimed at each other at a right angle and they create an interference pattern so what happens is if

If one of, the interference pattern that you can, you can measure looks a certain way. And if you move one of those lasers, then it will change the interference pattern. And not just move it, if you move it in any direction, even if you get one of the lasers closer or further away, right? Yeah. It'll change that interference pattern. And so you would see that it was moving. These two lasers are four kilometers long. They're two and a half miles long, all right?

And they have to be so big because that's how, that's how, that's how much. much you have to be able to measure in order to detect a gravitational wave like two black holes circling each other right right and those things are so well as listening to you know we're talking yesterday about um uh uh Brian Cox not the actor the the science the physio astrophysicist yeah he was just talking about this idea that those big twisty like you've got a black hole here and something else over here and they're so big and massive and they're kind of going

whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, and they end up colliding at some point. Yes, yes. And then that's, the theory, and I'm going to get this wrong, but the talk was, it is added to the theory that the universe is rapidly expanding

because when that happens, it causes so much energy to go, that that's a part of the accelerated, and we're talking cosmic scale. So acceleration could be a million years, could be a minute. I mean, whatever. But it's like that, it's those events that are causing this massive expansion.

Yeah, some physicists definitely think that that could be a source of this expansion. Because when these two big, when these two types of black holes collide, it can often create the energy in just the gravitational waves, the intensity or the luminosity of the gravitational wave is, is larger, just the gravitational waves, is more energy than in all the luminous energy of all the stars in our universe combined. Wow. That's how massive of an event this is in just the gravitational wave energy, okay?

Yeah, it's a lot. So it creates waves in spacetime. Now, why is pointing two lasers at each other so that we can measure these events? And the reason is because this is the cool science fiction part of it, Okay. Gravitational waves, whenever you change gravity, you literally are stretching and expanding space time.

So whenever a gravitational wave from one of these collisions passes through these two lasers from LIGO, and this is not an exaggeration or a simplification, this is literally, literally space time squishes and stretches and causes the length, the distance, the length of those lasers to change. Oh, wow. Okay. And when that happens... Stretching light is what you're telling me?

It is. It's stretching everything. Right. It's stretching the thing itself. It's stretching the space between them. But the end result is that because not only does space time change and change the distance, but it also changes how... It stretches and squishes time. Wow.

It makes it so the laser, the photons take just a little bit longer to get... to that interference point and it changes the interference pattern and they can see that it happened and they can detect it. So this is not quite the news. So this has been about 10 years or so. They've been able to do

this, maybe a little bit less. And they've been detecting black holes smashing into each other for a while using this method. But that only, that limits the length, the wavelength of the gravitational waves that you can detect to a pretty small amount. I know it's a big giant event, but the wavelength of the waves is pretty small, only about 1,000 kilometers, and I know that

that, or thousands of kilometers, it sounds big, but in a universe scale, it's pretty small. Yeah. So, so we're able to do that, right? We're able to see that time itself is stretching and squishing because of these events, and we can see black hole collisions now. But what they did here is they wanted, these scientists were not happy with that. They wanted to be able to detect bigger and bigger gravitational waves. And so you can't make, like, it's really unfeasible to make longer lasers to be able to do that.

Yeah. But they figured out a way. And what they did is they said, we're going to look at dozens of pulsars in the nearby galaxy. Pulsars are these stars that are spinning so fast. They're neutron stars that are spinning so fast that it's almost like a lighthouse beacon of light is shooting out either end. And every once in a while, some of them will pass, like the beam will cross. Earth and we can see them. And so thousands of times per second, these stars will spin and we can measure the ticks, you know, we can measure it. That's fast then. For an object that large. Some of them

are hundreds of times. Some of them are dozens of times, but it's still per second. That's a very fast for a star to spin. Yeah, no kidding. How do we catch it? We just, we have things trained on it. We have radio waves and radio telescopes and x-ray telescopes pointed at these pulsars and we're just measuring the ticks, all right? That's wild. So what they did was they theorized if, if we watch these pulsars, they tick very regularly, like incredibly accurately and regularly. If we watch them, if a gravitational wave passes by it, then the timing of the ticks

will change. Right. It'll get a little bit faster or a little bit slower. Right. Micron second, like tiny little, yeah, but still changing. changes, right? Changes in time. Yeah, exactly. And they were like, so what we're going to need to do is we're going to watch these. We're going to need to watch these pulsars for a very long time, and we're going to need to watch dozens and dozens and dozens of them in order to confirm all this information.

They watched something like 60 or maybe 80 different pulsars in our nearby, nearby us in the Milky Way galaxy over many, many light years. And we've been watching it for the past 15 years. And they finally have evidence now of, they call these pulsar timing arrays. They finally have evidence now that there is not just individual waves of energy passing by but that so many of these giant events

and the size of the events we're talking about are supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies. This is black hole collisions from galaxies colliding with each other. And they're happening all over the place all the time so much that they describe it like the bobbing like the waves on the surface of the ocean.

waves happening everywhere all the time and they've detected it and the light the wavelength of these that they've detected are light years long wavelengths wow wow now we're talking about the crest of one wave to the crest of another wave is like light years long wow that's crazy and they can detect it Scott and Brian that's the amazing part is they now have a new this is how what's his name finds the Vulcans right there's like a there's like a there's like a We'd get good enough at detecting shit like this. And then if there's a disturbance big enough, we're like, wait a minute, that's not even normal. That's a warp signature.

Break right through their stealth technology. That's right. Yeah. That's cool, man. Wow. So that's very, that's the exciting news. That's why all of the science Twitter and science, I guess it will be threads soon, science threads. Yeah.

A bunch of my science follows have moved over there, I've found. Yep, yep. People are moving. That's cool. And everybody was excited about it. And they had, they did, they'd even, this announcement, they even did one of those like, like announcement announcements, you know? Yeah, yeah. They were like, in a few days, we're going to have some big news in the world.

Oh, I love it. Like a teaser, like a little NASA teaser, a little science teaser. They were just really excited. And can you blame them? I don't blame them. No, that's huge. So cool. That's a, you know, there's certain dead scientists that are sad they're not here for this, you know, this is a big deal.

It's a big whoop. You ever think about that? Because it's, I've heard it compared to, I've heard it compared to when we, we kind of knew that cells were a thing, like cells in our body, but we finally built a microscope that can see it. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's what this is. We've known that these types of events must exist, and now we have, I mean, it's not, it's not an exaggeration to call it's a new kind of telescope that can detect him. And so that means that we should be, theoretically, we can look further back to events at the creation of the universe. Like, that's, again, not an exaggeration.

We can now. Right. Or the hope is that we'll be able to with this new type of. Well, right. Because once you know what the real time pattern is, extrapolating where it was or where it'll go, now you can make those mathematical roadmacks. Exactly. Because when we're looking at light, that's what all of our different types, even radio telescopes, you're looking at light. It's just a different type of light. When you're looking at light, it's all subject to interference. It's subject to going through gas clouds in the universe, going through the clouds in our atmosphere. Yeah, exactly. It has to sometimes, it gets bent by galaxies and black holes. And light is really, and you have to account for all that. And it's very difficult. gravitational waves

basically don't interact with matter and they don't get affected by these things they just move to us we just have to be able to detect them so it should be when we get more experience with this it should be easier to extrapolate where the sources once you do all the math

where the sources of all this stuff is and what was going on where it came from which in terms of universe stuff when you're talking about light years, billions of light years, you're talking about billions of years ago. You're looking at events that happened that far back, and it could be back to the first seconds of our universe's creation.

That's crazy. That's so cool. I was like looking for visuals because you have to explain things to me like I'm five. And I found a great little great infographics all about it. Yeah, that's cool. Look at this little... Look for visuals for sure, infographics and everything, because it is hard to describe this kind of stuff,

and it helps a lot if you can see. I like this one. This is great. Yeah. It looks like a National Enquirer thing, though, doesn't it like? Yeah. I just hear, universe's background, hum. That's right.

Their layout design and their headline writing could have came from the 20s. Yeah. Albert Einstein has sex with his cousin. More at 11. It's like that kind of stuff. It's very cool, though. Wow. This is rad.

love this kind of crap. Science. Who knew? Bobby, how does it work? It's always always good to have a little science on the show and I would love to hear more about what you got lined up. I know we talked some yesterday, but what's going on on all around science? Yeah, I talked in a little bit more detail about what I just told you guys on this past episode of all around science. That's my podcast name. That's right, all around science. And that's the episode that came out just yesterday. So if you want to hear more, I talk about more about what pulsars are, a little bit more detail about what's going on on that. We're also starting a four-part series about

about the four fundamental forces of our universe, of which one of them will be gravity. So I'll go in coming weeks. I'll be talking more about gravity. But we started with electromagnetism. Speaking of, how does it work? We'll talk about magnets. Love magnets. Magnus are great, man. How do they work? Well, you can find it on your show. Oh, we could explain it to the insane clown posse and everybody will finally be happy.

Yep. We'll figure that one out. But check it out all around science is the podcast for all your science. All your science needs, everybody. Go check it out. It's Bobby Frankenberger. What was your thing on, what's your new threads name? At GM Funky Town.

GM Funky Town. That's what we're doing now, everybody. It's all about them threads. So go check them there. Brian is Coverville. I'm actual Scott. by the way oh it reset hold on a second

okay there it is I don't know why I did it this time I did the same thing I always do I've now given up on it was a little bit different because I didn't end up in a separate little powwow with Bobby like I know that's usually when I hang up on or I leave you guys or call somebody else in this case when I reset it always just like resets discord

I got you damn sick there's no there's no learning why I don't get it but I do know this. This is what I have learned. This show has an end and a beginning, and we're now at the end of the show. With two exceptions, I got to read these texts, all right?

Yeah. One's for Brian. There is no name on this. It just says, Brian, poison is not heavy metal. It's what you find at the bottom of a garbage bin. Someone's not a fan of the bad poison. Yeah. Well, I think they're just saying,

if all they're making the distinction here is that they're not heavy metal, I mean, they were of their time. The two sentences together. It's like, it's, you know, Poison is not heavy metal. They are glam rock or something like that or, you know, or hair metal or blah, blah, blah. That's one thing. But then it's what you find at the bottom of the garbage bin. It's like, okay.

They're clearly not fans, yeah. They got a bias here. But I'm telling you, at the time Poison was at their peak, people called it heavy metal. They did. And yeah, it falls into hair metal now because I, you know, you look at what else is considered heavy metal and there needed to be some distinctions between what they were. But it's what we had at the time, you know? At the time, for sure.

Here's another one. You kind of all lumped into that same bin in the record store. We talked about embalming and all that, whether you've got to be embalmed before cremation, and we got a text about it, somebody who seemed to know what was going on. Why would you? Why would you want to put chemicals into the body before you burn it? Well, in my mind it was to, I think this is why we asked the question,

because my thinking was if you're going to have a viewing and do all that other stuff before cremation. Oh, before cremation. Yes, okay. You got to preserve the body or whatever, right? That does make sense. But if you're going straight to it, it's like, all right, we're going right to the oven. Hurry up and filling full of chemicals. I wouldn't make any sense.

Gernied oven. Yeah. Anyway, what does this person say? It says, you were talking about whether a body needs to be embalmed on TMS before cremation. I don't know the answer to that, but I used to live in a funeral home with a crematory or with a crematory, and the body's were placed in cardboard boxes before they were put into the crematory. Fun fact, love the show. So my dad was cremated, and the way they did it with him was we, he was embalmed because we had him for the viewing and all that other stuff. And then when the cremation came around, they didn't move

them to something else. The coffin we bought is the one that they burned the body in. Like it was a wooden coffin and that was part of the cremation and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, pushed it through and the whole thing got burnt. And the only reason I know this is I asked the funeral director. I go, do they just take him out and put him in the oven directly? Or do they, you know, how do they do it? Right there. Right there in the, yeah.

Yeah, he's like, the reason your dad isn't using or the reason we didn't do a carbon fiber type, because that's a lot of the, a lot of these are, you know, composite materials. Yeah. The reason they did wood was for that very reason, because you just feed it right into the oven and you're done. So I don't know. If anyone out there's an expert, let us know. I've got some friends over. Totally, that doesn't make sense.

By the way, I do like his first sentence, if you break it down, is kind of funny. You were talking about whether a body needs to be embalmed on TMS before cremation. Sentence structure. It's like Keitel in Pulp Fiction. Now you've got a corpse in the car minus a head in the garage. Take me to it. Yep. The car doesn't have a head?

The corpse doesn't have a head. Speaking to him, my recommendal had him. minute, and he freaked me out. This is your recommendal for tomorrow? Yeah. I heard about this kick you're on, and I'm excited to talk about the thing you watch. Yeah, I'm in a mood at the moment. I guess that new one's out today, I think.

According to Bob yesterday, it is, like for rent. Is it really? Like, oh, streaming, really? Yeah, let's see. Let me see if I can find it now. Because yesterday it was, there was just news about it. Wow, that's quick. Yeah.

supposed to be able to stream it today Amazon Prime Video 599 look at that yeah you're renting it so I think I'm going to be doing that tonight yeah I don't see why and why not yeah I mean I've got that I've got all the movies I want from Alamo draft house right now but oh that's true they probably still in theaters with that movie it's definitely it's absolutely still in theaters and this feels like it's really fast I don't know what the deal is why why so quick like is it just because West Anderson movies are always small and they're always kind of you know they're definitely a they're not a massive crowd pleaser they're just weird art movies and maybe that's why i don't know maybe maybe that's why we have tickets for mission impossible tomorrow night at

on the big screen at alamo draft house and of course with Tina's current situation she doesn't not want to haul oxygen there so i had to pull in trist and say hey you want to go see mission impossible in theater tomorrow night is like yes i'm hearing very good things good i'm excited yeah i'll talk about that on Thursday, and I'll tell you about the whole time travel aspect of the new Mission Impossible movie. Very nice. I can't wait. It's all in the trailer. It's all in the trailer. It's in the title, Mission Impossible. Of course it's time travel. Yeah, of course it's time travel. How else would you have a mission that was impossible to do? Because time travel is impossible. It makes perfect sense. It all makes sense to be known. It makes perfect sense. Total perfect.

Yep, you sure did. On July 11th, I'll hopefully wake up for the 56th year on this beautiful rock. For this special occasion, I would love to hear Sea of Love from the beautiful Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power. You guys get me through the days till the next Vegas trip. Can't wait to see my Tadpool family each year and tumble down the stairs at the sand dollar. I added that part. Scott, could you tell me if it's too early for a fish sandwich? Never.

I bit mix. Oh, I bit mix. You want ibid mix? I can do that. Hold on. Here we go. Hey, is it too early to get a fish sandwich? Hey, too early to get a fish sandwich?

It's like the same guy. It's like the same guy. Sounds like the same guy. Love you. Greg for Walkman. Oh. Oh. Oh, he doesn't imitate the meme as well as I do.

No, not even close. Real quick, Greg is. a saint. We love Greg, right? For sure. St. Greg is how we refer to him. And he referenced Vegas and all that. I am so bummed. I mean, I'll get there to see it soon enough, but I'm so bummed that that giant dome wasn't done.

Now that I've seen it in action, like video and stuff, that's awesome. They need to do the Pokemon. They got to do the Pokemon convention again next year. And then they got to turn that into a giant Pokemon. Do it right now, Vegas. What are you waiting for? For sure. Perfect. Yeah, like the whole Nintendo, yeah, do Nintendo

world out there or something the the basketball like turning you into a giant basketball that was really cool but then they showed one where it looked like a glass sphere full of basketballs they were all bouncing around and zero gravity yeah it looked like a like a lava lamp of basketballs like a yeah like a gumball machine full of uh yeah it's so cool fucking so amazing it's amazing and i didn't even know that's what that thing was about i just knew there was construction i'm like oh they look like they're building another little i don't i didn't know what because no one ever told me. And now I see it in action. I'm like, how do we miss this giant globe? It's like a huge eyeball. They're doing all this cool shit with it. Even even hearing that, oh, it's going to

have video screens on the outside so they can show you cool stuff. I was thinking, oh, great. So it's really just going to be giant ads for the strippers direct to your room 39.95. Great. Terrific. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, God. Are they going to turn into a giant boob for the adult video awards when the AVN is in in Vegas? Yeah, right? Like there's a lot you could do. that maybe they shouldn't do. Maybe they should. The question is whether,

not whether you could. I remember, so I read something about it. Each of those, so it's LEDs, right? And they're the size of hockey pucks. And so if you get up close to it,

you'll see there are these little round dots that are black that are all up and down that thing and they make up the screen. And it apparently breaks like 15 world records on what it actually does and all of that. I cannot wait to get up there. see that there's a really good like if you look up youtube uh youtube um msg sphere again it still boggles my mind how they just squandered the opportunity to call this thing madison sphere

garden as opposed to the madison square garden sphere it's so awkward and dumb the madison sphere garden come on i agree anyway um there's a great video with bondo on the edge walking around with uh a dude and they're surveying the inside of this thing talking about, all right, the stage is going to be there. We figured out, this is the cool thing that I learned from that, is that because it's a concave surface inside, they can do 3D effects that work no matter where you are sitting without glasses because it'll all look correct.

As opposed to a flat screen, you have to have the 3D glasses to me. those work but if you're sitting in the right spot with a flat screen you can say oh that's 3d we see it every year with the um the super bowl halftime show they have some sort of weird floor that everyone's dancing on and it looks like cubes are falling away where the dancers are and stuff like that oh i see what you're saying yeah looks great from one perspective but if you're sitting on the other side of that stadium it looks jank as hell right with uh with the sphere inside it they can do complete like total 3d stuff no matter where you're sitting and have it all look really cool that sounds so cool i can't wait to see it's amazing can't wait to see we're going to see it in

uh september me and uh the d and d group so i'll report see if you can get in there can you get in there is that is that might be able to um i don't think i want to i think i'd love to see you too again but i don't have the money to see you two again so but i think they'll be doing regular shows if it's open by the time we get out there um i think they'll have other entertainment that you can watch from the inside like a whole our nation, our world and our oceans

or something like that. Little interior things that you can watch that aren't the concert and they clear everybody out and then they have the concerts. So cool. When they do the moon,

I'm looking at it now. Yes, the moon looks so good. It looks like the moon just fell on earth. Like it crashed into. Yeah. It's a catastrophic event that no one was warned about

and bam, there it is. But then, I saw, I don't know if somebody faked it, but I saw it like a Death Star projection. Oh, really? Yeah. No, I haven't seen that one. Like, if I was in charge of this thing, I would just be going, all right, what are all the balls? Let's do them all. Everything that's spherical, we're putting it on there, you know? Yeah. I want the ultimate evil from the fifth element that the glowing ball that looks like lava and ripples and stuff.

Yeah, that's what I want. I want them to do on that thing. Yeah. It's really, really rad. We'll just make it look like Gary Oldman's head with a little bit of blood coming through his little plastic visor. That disgusting thing, he doesn't wash enough.
