The Morning Stream, Two Weeks, There's no such thing as two weeks in the news business. Greetings and welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for October 26th. It's a Thursday, and it's 2023. I'm Scott, and that's Brian. Hi. Hello, Scott.

We're getting real close to the spooky day. We've got Halloween coming up Tuesday. Ooh. Yeah, yeah, I know. We got lots of stuff coming up. Obviously, we got a very spooky edition of play date, which really won't be that spooky because it's going to be a jackbox. But it will be in the dark.

Are you, do you have any extracurricular parties planned or any kind of Halloween stuff? We're basically going to, oh, you know what? Gosh, it falls on a Tuesday. Just dawned on me, and that's usually trivia night. Oh, I bet they do it up at the trivia. thing right here at the bar. If they do it, I want to go. Yeah. I mean, uh, it means probably getting egged, but I'm okay. Turning the, turning the house lights off and, uh, and go on and playing trivia. I'm kind of fine with you. Why not? House lights off. No bowl of candy. Go to your thing.

Take Halloween back, Brian. Take it back. Be a kid again. I don't know what we're doing. We're probably going to be. We're taking it back. We're taking it back. I know Van, so Van's neighborhood that they live in is kind of boring. So they're going to come over here and he's in his big astronaut outfit we'll probably walk around here a couple of laps and then park our butts and give out can I don't know I don't think we're doing anything else

you know maybe a movie later that night or something I don't know I don't like it when it's on a Tuesday it feels weird to me I like weekend Halloween's that's my favorite yeah I'm with you it's like oh you know let the let the kids let the kids go out you know and stay out late and not have to worry about school the next day and plus it's going to be like

50 degrees here it's going to be Oh, what's your, what's your costume? It's a parka. It's a coat. My mom made me wear. Exactly, yes. Yeah, no, you're not wrong. And it's going to be cold here as well.

And I just think that you could do a thing like they do with Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is in a particular day, it's the fourth Thursday of November, right? Right, right. So do like, fourth Friday of October is Halloween. Why don't we do that? Why are we not? Why do we not do that with almost all holidays? Christmas, too. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Christmas is annoying when it's on like a Sunday or something. Oh, Sunday Christmas, I don't mind, but it's like Wednesday Christmas.

She was really dumb to me. Yeah, that seems dumb. Sunday, for whatever reason, like a Christmas Eve on a Saturday night. Oh, yeah. Give it to me all day long. But, but a, oh, yeah, Tuesday nights, Christmas Eve's like, oh, really? That feels like, you know. Yeah. Sand will be out as soon as he wraps up his webinar kind of thing. Yeah. He's got a TED talk in San Jose. He's going to be late. Exactly. As soon as he finishes that presence, totally happening. But before that, yeah, Santa's got a webinar. Well, let's just say me, if I'm Santa, I have a webinar for everybody real quick about a tasty treat for folks looking for less sugar in their lives. Okay. Okay. All right.

Do you have Roxbury there, the chain of juicing places, juicer joints? No. It's like a jamba juice. but called Rock Sprabee's It's a night of the rock No, it's a You go in there and you're a place your order like this They want to know how many It's for ounces so when you're like 24 ounce

You gotta do 24 of those 24 of those oh geez oh gosh Yeah it's a lot People are in line a long time No it is like Jamba Juice It's a lot like that And we went there Esther to get Carter one of these flute busters

She's fine It just makes her feel better Yeah Do a little vitamin C going yeah sure yeah and it's got it's really citrusy and i don't know helps clear nose and that sort of thing anyway uh so we go to get her one of those and i notice on the menu my favorite one when i was when i when devil may care about sugar intake was this peanut butter blast thing they made and it's basically a peanut butter shake but at a juice place so there's no fruit in it

it's just like there's peanut peanut butter you know it's basically a peanut butter smoothie and, you know, some banana and other stuff in there. It's really good. I used to love them, but they're just chock full of sugar. We go there yesterday, and on the menu, they've got, that's the only one, too, that has a light version of it. It's not 100% sugar-free, but it's way, way, way less. I think the sugar may only come from the banana or something. Sure, just natural sugars, banana sugars. And it's so good. It's as good as the other one. It's so good. Really? Yeah. Really. Or maybe, I may be, so I don't really do. sugar anymore so when I have it's gotten to the point where we're artificial sweeteners or even

just stuff that's like naturally sweeten tastes 100% fine to me and as good as anything ever used to I'm sure if I had the sugar one I would go oh well objectively the sugar one is better of course but I'm so used to it that it didn't matter and it was so good so looking at right now by the way Roxbury's tagline is the best smoothies in Utah so well shoot but they do have they do have a couple locations in Idaho which are still the best smoothie these in Utah. But their peanut butter blast is almond milk peanut butter, chocolate, bananas, and non-fat frozen yogurt. This sounds amazing. Yeah, it is good. So the chocolate, did you see what they put in as far as chocolate? Was it syrup? Was it powder? Didn't see. Can we did the drive-up so we

couldn't see how they made it? But I think it's, uh, I think it's dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Okay. And there was something else they said on the menu and I came over what it was. This sounds amazing. Now, there's a jomba, the closest jomba I can think of is probably Boulder. I'm sure there's something closer than that to me. But a couple blocks away is Intajuse, which I don't know if they just thought they were being funny. Like, hey, are you into juice? Yeah, I'm into juice.

Are you introduced? Like, like, I bet they did, dude. I bet that is exactly how that name came around. I think so. But they make an incredible smoothie called the Sunset Beach, which is like, watermelon juice mixed with like peach sorbet and then fruit they dump a ton of fruit in there and stuff

and it's amazing I'll bet they do one of these too like a peanut butter blast this looks incredible it's so good dude for real so until I guess you all have to get it in Utah or parts of Idaho but hopefully other places have it

if you do get it though and you can get the light version tell me if I'm wrong it tastes to me it tastes it as good and I devoured it I was like oh I never get this sort of stuff anymore. Abdom, nom, nom, nom. And it tasted as good as the other one ever did to me. Nice.

Fantastic. I'm looking right now at the menu for the into juice by me. Let's see. Into juice. Oh my gosh. Into juice. Yeah, I know. I like juice, too.

And I'm into it. You know, I understand where they're coming from. I just don't think I'd use it as my name. I'm just going to look for a peanut. There we go. They're chocker nutter. Oh. Fat-free milk, banana, chocolate, peanut butter, vanilla, non-fat, frozen yogurt.

Chaka Nutter is the peanut blast or whatever it is. Peanut butter blast. That's it. That's it right there. I'm ordering one of these. You should get one. They're really good. You will not be disappointed.

Cool. All right. I'm a sucker for peanut butter based things anyway. Yeah. If you came to me with cookies and said, all right, you have a choice. Here's chocolate chip. Here's this other kind. Here's three other kinds.

And here's peanut butter cookies. I'm taking the peanut butter cookies. Yeah. Nutter butter is unequivocally my unequivocally. Unequivocally, my favorite? unequivocally. Uniquically. Uniquidly, my favorite, uh, cookie. We'll just, we'll just, uh, watch up. We'll just avoid that landmine all to you. Yeah. You, uh, you've porky-pigued it there at the end. I like it. Abidea, aberea, abdi, abriably. Uh, anyway, go get one. They're really good.

All right. Um, speaking of fluids, uh, Brian and his Blake, uh, Blake, his brakes. Yeah. That was I corrected your spelling of breaks, by the way. Yeah. I know. That was good. Um, um, you got, you had some, Remember you're supposed to bleed your brakes? Everybody was talking about it. Yeah, no, yeah. I remember that somebody claimed I was supposed to bleed my brakes. And then a bunch of people countered it. A bunch of people counted it, including, well,

well, this guy's, his is a little more nuanced, which is why I'm using his call. We got like 50 of these, all right? I'm only playing one. Sorry to everyone else. His was the most concise. One of them was five and a half minutes. I can't play those.

Yeah, Jeff Seyer sent me a few paragraphs. And it was glorious. Yes. I love Broncos. Oh, he's verbose, that guy. He can say so. He is. Anyway, here is that. Hey, Scott and Brian. This is Racer 951. Why?

Hey, the person emailing about the bleeding the brakes is right, but if Brian only pushed the pad back and didn't crack open the system, he didn't need to breathe the brakes. The pumping of the brakes was just reseeding the pistons from the caliper. onto the pads and making contact. It's just a normal thing. As long as you don't open the system up, the hydraulic part of the system, you don't need to re-bleed your brakes every time. Now, you're supposed to change out your brakes fluid every five years, but that's a different thing.

Love the show, though. Bye. All right. Some good level-headed advice there. And he also said, bleed the blakes at one point in there. He did say, breathe the blakes. Yes. Yeah, it's hard not to.

Which my friend Blake will find very amusing. Yeah, no, I never, I never disconnected the hose from the caliper system. And that really is the definitive question. Did you take off the hose? Basically, here's when you know you need to bleed the brakes. Do you have a pool of brake fluid underneath your car? No, then you don't need to bleed your brakes. Then you're good.

Okay. That seems like good advice. I'm going to take it next time I don't do this manually because I never will. So Chicken Schmitz and the tadpool says that's also a good time to change your blinker fluid. But it's a great joke, Chicken Schmitz, my roommate. So for a while, I had a couple roommates just out of college that were a married couple that hated each other. Oh. Let's just not even mince words.

Wow. They, yeah, they were always very angry at each other. They stayed in the house, actually, with Tina in a while. While they were getting resettled and stuff like that, and it was like Fight City and all that stuff. Were they recently married, like young married? They were young married, yeah. They married really, really early on. And they divorced really early on, and they stopped talking to each other forever, really, really early on.

Wow. Fun. But at one point, he convinced her that she needed to change the air in her tires. And she actually went to a gas station, emptied out, like basically held the little button in on her tires or did whatever. Like a little, you know how on the back of the air, the thing that has the air, there's a little, tab where you can lower the pressure, she emptied out each tire and refilled each one. Oh. This was before, this was what, 90, 89 or 90, I guess.

And this was before you had to go to one of those things and pay $2 for five minutes of air. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Dude, I used to love getting free air. That was awesome. It should still be true. It should still be free. It should still be free.

But they, okay, let me understand this. Yes, yes. Is it this sort of thing is why they hated each other because that is the meanest prank to play on somebody. I mean, this wasn't, this wasn't,

this was indicative of, of, um, who he was. But he, uh, yeah, he just, he was a very,

at the time, a very self-centered, full of himself kind of guy. And she was, demure and Mousy and he thought he could change her and you'll learn in relationships you can't change the person

no area that you that your relationship to be who you want to be you have to basically accept them for who they are and love them for who they are and this on Therapy Thursday that's our show everybody thanks good night we'll see you next time see you next time coverville at one quarter five but

yeah no this you know that's probably that's probably an example of who we was as a person that made them split up, but it wasn't, that specific event wasn't something. Because she did kind of laugh about it once he, well, once some time went by. Well, that is one of those stories you have to have time go by before you can laugh at it. Exactly. I would be so pissed if that was hurt.

But it actually sounds like if you really don't know and you're kind of new to car stuff and everything, it sounds real. Like you can't have the same air in your tires for the full year. Make sure before winter comes, you change out the air because it gets. stale and your tires. I could see that. I could see that being convinced or somebody being convinced of that, you know? Did they, you know, when you went to Jiffy Lube the other day, did you ask him if they changed the air in your tires?

They didn't? You might need to do that because how long has it been since you've done that? That sounds like a normal question. Like, you could, you could say that in a very believable way to somebody and they'll fall right for it. Yeah, that sounded like a normal question. Even just the way you said it just now. And even though I know what we're talking about, it still sounded normal.

That's devious is what that is. Yeah. Like I had you guys go on on film sack when I said that Chris Sarandon and Susan Sarandon both had the name Sarandon before they got married. No, it's just a coincidence. The two people named Sarandon married each other. Yeah. We all were like. And it was the long pause. We didn't know.

One of you said, really? And I said, okay, no, come on. I think it was me. I think I was the one to yell the word really as loud as I can. I don't know why I do that. Claire in the chat says, here's her two things. that she says, no, Scott, that's effing stupuitt. And then she went, stupid again.

And then stu-piff. Stupiff. I think she's drinking. That's what I think's going on. All right. Well, you know, it's five o'clock in Ireland. I don't know actually what time it is in Ireland. 420.

Who knows? Anyway, so that's the thing. So bleed your brakes when it's the right time to bleed them. Don't bleed them for times when you don't need to bleed them. Exactly. And in all cases, Blake, keep breeding. Keep breeding your blakes. The world needs more blakes. And you're here to make it happen. All right. Check it out here. I got a text or I guess this is an email. I can't remember where I got this. But it's about misheard lyrics. And it's from Ryan.

Not to be confused with Brian. Okay. Let's make it clear. I'm confused all the time. Thanks. You think if there's, if you guys, if you guys were gangs in like the Warriors, You'd be in the Brian gang, the other, there'd be a Ryan gang. Like, everything had a theme in the Warriors. So you could be a Brian gang. Why not?

It's, you know, but you'd have to explain it. I think at least the baseball gang, you could look at them and say, oh, I see why they're a gang. Or, you know, the disco-looking gang or whatever. I can only remember the baseball gang. But they stood out. I understand. They stood out. But you have, like, eight Bryans who are like, yeah, whacking baseball bats and stuff like that.

Like, what are you guys? We're the Brian gang. See, his name is Brian, his name is Brian, his name is Brian, but he spells it with a Y. His name is Brian. You don't really have an outward, you don't have an outward showing, uh, no, no, allegiance, you know, you can't say. I'd be part of the 3D print gang and we'd be like, uh, we'd be, you know, using our 3D printed weapons, but we'd have to be, we'd be in the process of breaking the supports off of them to get them cleaned out. The whole time. And then you'd wear, you'd all wear like one of the older makerbot, uh, size on your head, you know?

So it's just your head looking out. Oh, man. This is, now we're on to something. Yeah, now we're out of something. What theme gang would you have belonged to? Oh, my gosh, dude. Who would that even be? I don't know.

I don't know what we, you'd have to, again, have this outward looking thing, right? Right. It would have to be a visual gang. You couldn't say, where are the Johnsons? I mean, everything I'd do is so digital. That's boring. I'm trying to think, like, uh, we would be the, I don't know.

Like, chat, this is where you kick in. a, like game controller, we're the game controller gang, and you're like, you know, you're all carrying game controllers and the Nintendo glove and, uh, that's cool. And rolled up, uh, dance revolution mad and, uh, no, I like this. Everyone's got a glove. Everybody's got the NES glove. Everybody's got, um, I don't know, on their back, we have Bob the robot or whatever. right what else Rob I believe Rob is yeah I always say Bob and then we're we're using controllers like nunchucks you got them tied off in the same end you got a big fat original Xbox controller on this side and a gnarly PS2 controller over here and just that's pretty good I like that's good I think it's pretty good all right I'm in chat we'll come up with something terrible and that's fine too they can do it over there all right this is an email about misheard lyrics from Ryan who was part of the Ryan gang That was a weird, that was a weird off ramp we took there for a minute. It was fine, but it was a fun off ramp. It sure was. We're back on the road, and it was one of those on frames where if you just keep going straight,

don't turn left and turn right, you're right back on the line. Yeah, you're right back where you were heading in the first place. We're on our way to Provo. Okay, here we go. This is from Ryan. He says, regarding misheard song lyrics, when my sister and I were young, I think she was five and I was seven, she told me there was this awesome song in the radio about a dragon named Sauriel, or Sarl.

She went on and on about this dragon. She had a whole story about him. months later the song played on the radio and it turned out to be your wildest dreams by the moody blues specifically specifically the line quote and when the words are touched with sorrow unquote that was touched with sorrow yeah and he says that was my first experience with misheard lyrics it's funny and awesome my baby sis totally ran with it and I love her for it while half the tadpole looks up where the f who the f the moody blues are my old ass is going to take a nap, shove below the

Orion. That's awesome. Yeah, the moody blues. That's a deep cut. That's a pretty deep cut. It's a pretty deep cut. I mean, people have heard knights and white satin, right? Come on. Sure. People have. Yeah. I have. It's like, well, we're old, Scott. I'm talking about our tet. Claire, you ever

hear nights in white satin. I know I've talked about my roommate in college who kept a clear bottle of mountain dew for his spit on our desk on our communal desk for art school but that's also his favorite song

and he'd listen to it over and over and over again. So how do you feel about that song now? I have a hard time still listening to it. I like covers of it. You wouldn't go like purposely fire that up later because you're now. No, no. No and you know what?

As far as Moody Blue songs, there are half a dozen, I like way more than that song. Like, Your Wildest Dreams is one of them. Questions. Is it questions? What is it? It's, uh... I don't know that one, I don't think.

Let's see. You know it from, you don't know it from the title, but you know it if I were to sing it to you. Oh, I'd love to hear you sing it. Let's hear you sing it. Where is it? It's called, it's just called question. Do we ever ask a question when they're knocking at the door? Oh, I know that song.

that's a great song yeah you know what moody blues is all right they're all right yeah i know you're out there somewhere tuesday oh tuesday afternoon yeah that's a good song tuesday afternoon and of course jemini dream uh yeah all right i'm gonna go listen to every moody blues song except for nights and white satin thank you everybody thanks i'll see all later bye bye yeah bye now um anyway so thank you ryan for that insight and yeah people mess up lyrics all the time i think that's a that's a sweet one um shut up claire what it's What did Claire say? She says, okay, now you sound like an old man, Brian.

Whatever. Someone hop in the night button and create a shortcut for me for, you know, like an exclamation point, Claire, and it just. Yeah, what do we call that? Bang sign? It's a bang, bang, well, you said, I don't think we want to say bang, Claire. Yeah, don't bang Claire. Somebody come up with a different term for that function,

because we don't want to ever say bang Claire again. Good Lord. Well, anyway. There's that. Hey, everyone, we have a little bit of news lined up. Our crack news staff have been funneling stories through the desk, yeah, through the news desk. And we have to report on it now, so enjoy. Today's news brought to you by. Brought to you by Coverville today, back at 1 p.m. for the next few weeks while I wrap up a class in SEO that is going to be taking up my weekdays for quite a while. However, cover will be one, and it'll be, we're just going to listen to Moody Blues Greatest Tits. No, we're not.

We're going to listen to the 10,000 maniacs show that I promised you last week when I got feverish. Feverish, I have the fevers from my COVID shot. No, we're finally going to get to it. So all this time that Natalie Merchant has been waiting for the weather and the carnival and the, what's the matter here? I don't have a thing for that one. But, yes, 10,000, all of them, 10,000 maniacs covers and covered today at 1 p.m. Mountain Time. Twitch.tv slash Coverville. I'm going to say something about Natalie Merchant.

Okay, let's hear it. Let me go ahead and do this. I'll admit, like in the 80s had a little bit of a crush on her. I thought she was adorable. Yeah, I just really liked her. But I haven't really paid much attention or seen anything. I'm just going to say, she looks freaking great. has aged beautifully just as looks she looks awesome kind of our age like she's not that much no she's probably right around maybe even yeah she's older than us and she's got this amazing shock of white hair in the front she just looks she looks awesome it's like you just see her up there still you know banging out the hits and you know getting her done anyway she looks like she could hang out with francis mcdorman and they would get they would get coffee and uh yeah uh and talk about how the

world's going to hell. Yeah, they'll hang out in the back of her van. Hang out at a pea berry because not a Starbucks, because Starbucks is too commercial for them. But they'll actually meet up at the coffee bean and tea leaf at 10 o'clock after I take the dogs for a walk. That sounds right. They're in my Subaru forest.

You are 100% dead and dead on this. You've got it all. It's Boulder. It's Park City. It's all that. It's that whole vibe. Exactly. Yeah.

Oh, you nailed it. um all right let's do this let's do this thing uh delorean remember the delorian the car the i do remember i remember because uh thanks to the back to the future and cocaine i know all about the delorean yeah those without cocaine and back to the future is there even a delorean is there even a delorean yeah what was it was the main guy was hiding cocaine and a delorean right uh john not oh john delorean maybe he was the founder guy yeah i saw a documentary on him and i think you're right that he's the one that had coat he yeah they found coke in his he had the cocaine problems yeah he was super into cocaine he liked trafficking cocaine there we go yeah there's a weird

that's a weird story that whole thing yeah um but everybody because back to the future we all as young youngsters at the time all were convinced that it was the single coolest car in the history of the planet i mean that's just how it was you really here are the cars you had growing up when you're brian and i's age you had delorians you had that ferrarii and i's that Ferris Bueller had. Yep. Or even, I guess you could take the Ferrari from, can I think he was name.

Magnum P.I.'s Ferrari. That was a big deal. Oh, sure. Except you were watching Love Boats, so you missed all those. I missed that, yeah, yeah. Night Rider. Oh, you missed Night Rider, too, though. You missed that car. Yeah, I think, I think Gopher drove a sensible K car. In one of the rare episodes where they were in, driving around. It was just out driving his AMC. Grislandland. And don't ever get the Porsche.

11 that was big for oh yeah no 9-11 that was everybody that's all anyone wanted was a 9-11 yeah everybody had a poster or knew somebody who had a poster of a Porsche 9-11 with a black background and a woman in a bikini a red bikini laying on top of the hood yep yep and a firebird transam for a while had a moment right there are these there's just a certain set of cars and that was the 80s and we knew we didn't know or care about any other cars but those cars except for the shitty ones we could only afford and buy in high school But you had to. But then even then, I would pretend that my car was cooler than it was. Well, anyway. By the way, by the way, even though I didn't watch Magnum P.I. or Duke's of Hazard or any of those shows, I'm still fully aware of the cars and the premises of each of those shows. Yeah, I mean, that stuff was all over the popular culture. You could avoid it.

I knew the Golden Girls was about four elderly ladies before I watched an episode. That's a good point. It was part of the zeitgeist. this stuff for sure it was part of the zeitguest exactly by the way tvs Travis has a sweater with the golden girls on it I swear the the B Arthur looks like Jay Leno we had this discussion over over chat the other day but his ew yeah it's absolutely Jay Leno Travis you want to post that someplace so I can see this I want to see this yeah I'll copy and I think I can copy it from our from our discussion yeah I'd like to hear it wherever the heck

that was I don't you remember what channel that was in yeah me neither um all right a DeLorean, a brand new one, basically. Brand new DeLorean. Okay, I'm sorry. Let's get back to that. We went places, but it's all right. 977 miles is all, was ever put on this thing. It was found in a Wisconsin barn. I love that it was a barn. Oh, no kidding. Was it covered with a tarp to make sure that the one would find it? They won't find it. I'll never see it here, Marty. Yep. And then a farmer showed up with a shotgun. Oh, there's a lot.

That's right. Tintin, by the way, submitted the story. our Discord, so I appreciate him doing that. Oh, excellent. Two men went on a mission to retrieve a Delorean from a remote location where the car had been left preserved and unused for decades. No, not Marty McFline, not Doc Brown. Way to go, NBC, New York.

Although there are many parallels to the scene and back to the future three, where the two removed the time machine from a cave in hopes of restoring it to full condition. See, that's not the movie I would have referenced. I would have referenced the first movie with a barn in it. That's what I would have done. Yeah, but the cave, like basically he drove it

into the cave in the past so that he'd have access to it in the future? Right. I think that was the deal. I mean, that was the only way it would work, right? You couldn't put it in the future

and it would show up in the past. Right. Yeah. Oh, you know what? I saw something yesterday. Did I send you this? Shit. No, I don't think you did.

Okay. You know Brian Cox, not the actor Brian Cox, but the astrophysicist Brian Cox? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Really smart, dude. Maybe it's here.

Hold on. If I have this, I'm going to play it. Okay. I just thought of you because it was about time stuff. let's see if I can find it here oh geez god this is so okay one two three four there it is oh no that's not it oh this is it oh this is it you look at the history of life on earth you have microbes around

3.8 billion no that's not the one that's him but that's not the one so yeah oh it's the time travel one right yeah did I send you that I must have sent that to you okay so it was interesting because you sent it to me over the weekend because he said he goes the short of it was somebody asked in an interview is time travel possible and he says going back no it's just not but but it is possible to travel forward in time and then he explained all the all all the back end of the science as to why that is possible and it was freaking fascinating to listen to man that's something that uh um that we learned in like basically it's that whole thing if you fly away from the earth

at the speed of light, or 99.99% of the speed of light, parallel, or not parallel, perpendicular to the surface of the earth out, time for you, time for, everyone else will go slower than time for you. So technically you are flying into the future. Correct. So it is on a technicality. It's not quite the same as like, I'm going to go see where my kids ended up. It's not like that.

Yeah, exactly. Although, if you do that, I mean, yeah, theory of relativity. or general relativity. Yeah. But if you, like, all right, you fly out and then you fly back at the speed of light, you will be. Yeah. You'll be, you'll look like you did when you left. Or you'll be like, you'll be like, oh, technically you'll like be, oh, look at all of you guys.

I still look like Matthew McConaughey. Yeah. That's going to say, it's the interstellar thing, I guess. It is. So what was it on there? It was like, when they were on that planet with water, it was seven years for every hour they were there. For every hour they were on there. Yeah.

And they were there for like an hour or something. just long enough to lose the doctor from from Firefly I have him go drownty drownedy I went into okay I got to say something by that movie I went into that rewatch yeah recently and as soon as it started and I saw

I forgot the name of the robot I forgot the name I saw that thing and went oh right this thing's weird I don't like the boxy shape it annoys me like I remember being annoyed by that thing and the design of it and I immediately was like that again. But then as the movie you went on,

I got way more forgiving of that robot. Totally. You know why? Tell you why. Cybertruck. That's what did it? That's what did it. That's why you're okay with Tars being all boxing. I have a

friend, family friend who bought one of those trucks. Get out, really? Yeah, and he got delivery on it. I won't say where he lives or what his name is. He listens, I think. the quarter panel's all effed it wasn't lined up so he has to send it in to get it oh no really it's not like he has to ship it back to get fixed i don't know if he's ship it back he at least has to take it to an authorized sort of thing i'm hoping you can take it to a tesla repair shop

yeah there's stuff i think those exist i don't know how close one is to where he is and i'll say he's in the state of oregon that's as the closest i'll see where he lives but yeah he probably has a way to do that. He was very upset about it, though, because, A, it took forever. He was on this waiting list for eons. The first ones are just now shipping. And there is talk that there's a bunch of problems with the way that the frames are line, or not frames, but how the metal lines up. So the gaps are wrong and stuff. There's like reports of this. So he's a little, he's a little stressed about it. I guess he can return it, though, probably, right? Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah. But it is funny, I mean, talking about a DeLorean, this is basically, like, if you made a DeLorean

ugly and one color, it would be the CyberTrum. Yeah, and you can carry like a dryer washer combo in the back, I guess, or whatever. Right, exactly. No room for the flux capacitor, perhaps, I don't know. Right, yeah, that's right. I forgot it's a pickup, yeah. It's easy to do, Brian. It just looks like a PlayStation 1 game is what it looks like.

Exactly. If you put a DeLorean in Tomb Raider 1, it would look like a cyber truck. Yeah, exactly. Now, I know there's some people listening who think that thing looks cool, and I am totally fine with you thinking it looks cool. I think they look kind of bad, but more than I think they look bad, I think they look attention grabbing to the point that I would be nervous every time I park the damn thing. People are going to be gross and awful, and they're going to do stuff, they're going to key it, they're going to, you know, I don't know. They're going to baseball it. what they're going to do. I keep a baseball on my car just in case I find a cyber

truck. Yeah, exactly, because that's how you break them windows, you see. Yes. But the, but my point is like, I don't want to, I don't want to target on me. And that's what happened. Like, I felt this way when I rented a Ferrari in, or a Corvette convertible, yellow Corvette convertible in California to do the coastline run there with Kim. Yeah. Yeah. In 2017. Total blast and everything. But it, it, that was the trip where I went, I will never own one of these. Yes, right, because you felt nervous. I remember meeting you for lunch at... Oh, that's right.

You were in Disney. I forgot about that. Yeah, that was fun. They even came and took a picture of us to try and sell us, and I think we took a picture of their picture. Yeah, we were pretending to decide if we were going to buy it from, and then we gave it back to them. If I remember Craig, I can't remember if we really did that.

That's about what we did, I think, if I remember. But, yeah, that was the trip where you guys had that. And I remember you just being nervous having it parked at a protected parking lot, like downtown Disney, where you have to go through a game. to get in and still is like... Yeah, and he even has insurance for this sort of thing because it's a rental, but I still was like,

all I can think about is this car when we're not in the car. When we were in the car, it was fine. We're driving it, we control it, whatever. But when we were out of the car, and at the end of that trip, I said, you know what, Kim, we can never own a fancy sports car.

It's never going to happen. It's just too crazy. I want to be nondescript. I don't want to be standing out. I just want to be, you know, give me a Honda Civic. No one will notice me. Everything's fine.

you know and i'll never have to fix that thing anyway because honda civics are great uh well anyway this thing only had 977 miles on it and uh they're gonna read they're gonna get it all cleaned up and i don't know probably sell it that's the story that's cool that is really cool though 977 miles yeah right can you imagine i imagine there's like rubber tubing and stuff like that that probably has been eaten through by barn rats and oh yeah field my shit on it from an owl I'm sure sitting there that long stuff just atrophies, right? It just deteriorates. The rubber gets hard and cracks and stuff like that.

You probably have to replace a lot of that. Your tires are probably bad. One of the things that happened to me once was, I don't know if you remember a few years ago. Taylor was in high school. I would have talked about it on the show. She got busted for trying to, her and her friends tried to break into a empty house. I don't know if I talked about it.

It was great. It was a wonderful learning experience because her and her idiot friends. they're so dumb they went and opened this garage door pull it up and then went inside didn't break anything weren't trying to cause any trouble it was just this house that was for sale forever and never was going anywhere and uh the police came and i was all for it i was like sweet let's teach these kids a lesson yeah she'll learn a lot more from them talking to her than she will from me talking to her yeah and she was pretty she was pretty freaked out and i'm sure had a big conversation with her about it. The point is, though, one of the things I didn't know before,

that house had never been used. It was five years old. But everything inside was probably going to have to be redone in some way. Like the countertops, just not being used got weird and multi. The kind of dust that settles in there became permanent in places or like part of the paint. Yeah, right, right. And it didn't occur to me that if you don't use stuff, it just can go it can go to the earth again it's just wild it's just not a thing I normally think

there's a brand new house but you don't want you don't want to let her know that well you're going to have to replace that no yeah I didn't do any of that yeah it's good that you basically you helped him demo that house from the inside but

she doesn't need to know that I mean the cop even came to me first and pulled me aside and said hey so I'm I'm just going to tell these kids I'm just going to freak him out a little bit and I said 100% cool because there was really nothing he was going to do. He's not going to arrest anyone. He's not going to do anything.

He's just going to give him a stern warning. But he's like, I really want them to remember this. I said, all right. I support this fully. And was there when he did it. But he had all these kids lined up and was like, you know, just talking that, you don't want to set foot in jail. Oh, yeah, big time. And she, and they were all like, okay. They were all pretty freaked out. I love it. That was a good time. Check this out. Okay. Blizzard Entertainment, now part of the Microsoft Xbox family. Microvisor.

Microvisord. Microvisored. I like that. Microvisored. Or Blizcovist. Blizzca soft. Blizzca soft. Anyway.

Blizzard is going to raffle off a human blood-infused PC, personal computer. If Diablo 4 players donate 666 quarts of blood to their local blood dispensaries. Kiss did it first. I know. They kind of did. Give me a comic book with your blood in there. That's what I want. Exactly.

Blizzard hasn't exactly been subtle in marketing for Diablo 4, but his latest PR stun is especially on the nose. To celebrate the release of the game's new season, season of blood and the high payoff blood harvest events introduced. Blizzard has launched a month-long blood drive in the U.S. that will unlock in-game rewards such as, as more people participate. Once donations reach 666 quarts, I don't know how they track this, by the way. Do you have to self-report that you went and gave blood?

Yeah, you probably have to show, like, a dot. document, right? The receipt from the blood bank. It seems like a lot of work for them to track this all. I guess worth it, though. Yeah, totally. And we need blood. Anyway, they're going to give, players are going to enter the sweepstakes for a custom liquid-cooled PC infused with real human blood. Oh, that's cool. Does, is the liquid cool, like is the, the cooling liquid that goes through the thing? That's not blood, though, right?

No, it's got blood in it. It's got blood in it, but not, it's not all blood. That'd be cool. If it was nothing but blood, I would love that. Nothing but blood, yeah, exactly. But it's got a little bit of blood in there. Although the fact that it's human blood, kind of like, oh, all right, it's kind of gross. If it was demon blood, sure, but if it was, the fact that it's human blood is like, oh, it's kind of gross.

It's a little grody, you know, like a human DNA in there. Thing is, though, they don't say anywhere in this or any article I could find, who's blood. We don't know whose blood it is. Sure. Well, which Blizzard employee have we not heard from in a while? Well, is it Mike Yubara, the new CEO of things? Or is it, you're going to have Bobby Kodick's blood on his way out before they force him out in January? I think it was that employee that set up the, what was called the Cosby Room at BlissCon.

Or the Krosby Room, as it was. Yeah, Crosby. The Crosby Room. So that would have been, I know. Oh, do we know who that was? Yeah, we know who that was. totally know who that was and he's the one that ended up getting exiled to California basically or sorry to Hawaii what a rough place to exile too yeah oh gosh oh can't they give his name he was

he was one of the people on stage when I did my thing the stage thing I can't think of his name yeah I don't know I can't think I don't know it a Frazerabi that's it oh okay yeah he's a turd we're back to we're back to Italian sports cars all right fine yeah driving your Fraza Robbie too fast and uh before you know it they're using your blood and blaming you for entire harassment scandal. Anyway. Yeah, Terry Z confirms actual blood couldn't stand the temps in that cooling system. Plus, it's a little bit more viscous.

It's not going to travel through the lines as well. And seriously, if a line ever breaks and you've got human blood pouring out into your system, oh my God, that's horrendous. Yeah, plus wouldn't it clot? It would clot. The whole point of human blood is it clots. It would clot. Exactly, yeah, right.

You'd have to keep that thing cycling the blood constantly or it would clot. Yeah, a big wet, gnarly blood ball popping out of there? Gross. Although, does it only clot when it's exposed to oxygen? I think that's the thing with clotting. I don't know. That's why it doesn't clot in our... So when you get a clot in your vein and you get an aneurysm, that's an abnormal thing.

That's not, yeah, there's not, right, there's not oxygen. Or embolisms? Or whatever they're called. Yeah, embolisms aren't, yeah, it's not because they're exposed to oxygen. But that's... I know we've got Bobby. Bobby will answer us in about eight seconds and explain why. Yeah, he'll let us know.

Explain how I'm wrong about when blood clots and doesn't clot. And if not him, Dr. Tolbert probably has some ideas. For sure. What's going on? Let's talk about Taco Bell for a second. Sure. Taco Bell, we talked about it before, they were in a battle to free the Taco Tuesday trademark from somebody else who owned it because Taco Bell wants to use the Taco Tuesday trademark. We talked about this before, but it's now official that trademark battle is over.

Taco Bell has won its fight over Taco Tuesday trademark in all 50 states now that the lone holdout, a restaurant in New Jersey, has parted ways with the term. Oh. Oh. So it's a... That's a shame. So it's a restaurant in New Jersey that was the holdout. That's funny.

Yeah, they wouldn't let them do it. They had a copyright or trademark. Wasn't there talk for a while that LeBron James was the guy who owned the coppers? Somebody, some basketball or something... I don't know. let's see Gregory's restaurant it's called oh co-owner Gregory Gregory Gregory it's not really his name is it Gregory Gregory it says it is all right he says relinquishing the trademark registration doesn't change the fact that we can use it but it does allow others in New Jersey the same opportunity to build their own traditions and help spread Taco Tuesdays throughout New Jersey he's really focused on Jersey but it's the whole country now so Taco Bell can say the thing the other states gave it gave it up just fine but Gregory Gregory Gregory, apparently, was the holdout.

Oh, dude, you don't want to mess with Gregory, Gregory. Or as I call him, because we're friends, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg. He's just Greg, Greg, Greg, from, Greg, Greg for Walkman, Walkman. Nice. Anyway, so now they can do it. So they can do, like, ad campaigns, and they can, like, say, hey, Taco Bell, you got, it's a Tuesday, get in here and pay too much. Like, they're, they're, they freed the Taco Tuesday trademark, right? So, like, it just, it doesn't mean that Taco Bell now owns it.

It means that anyone can use it without copyright. Correct. And that's how it should be. Which is really good. It's, uh, you know. That's how it should be. Let's celebrate with a Mexican pizza, shall we? Yeah.

Hey, there you go. Bring those back again. I like those for the hot minute you brought them back. They're still back. Are they back now? They're still back. They're back permanently. Yeah.

Oh. People love them. Yeah. I went there yesterday. I should have done that. I didn't want what I got. You should have had a Mexican pizza. I got a cravings box, which gave me heartburn.

Oh, yeah, the old cravings box. I like that. Because you can do your one classic, your one specialty, and your one side, and then a Baja Blast Zero. Oh, that's the only way to go. To wash it all down. I like a Baja Blast Zero. You too. Big fan.

Of all the zeros, that's one of my favorites. Yeah, it's top, top tier. Here are my favorite. Here are my top three zeros. Ready? Okay. All right. Dr. Pepper Cherry, specifically, zero.

Specifically, Dr. Pepper Cherry, yep. That's a really good one. Right below that, I'd put Coke Zero. And right below that, and probably Coke Cherry, if I can get it. And then below that, I would put, I'd put the Baja Blast Zero. Yeah, top three for me. It's really good. And I don't mind.

Look, I like Mountain Dew Zero by itself, sort of. But if you're giving me the choice, I'll go with the blue one. Let's go. Yeah. Get that Baja and blast. together baby the teal a nice teal beverage yeah and teal's not a drink enough it's not nearly used enough it just don't use teal enough for uh for beverage i like they used to um all right final story here sure we got a theft of two million dimes uh from a truckload of coins from the u.s

mint and the four people involved are facing federal charges that's what happens when you mess with federal money i guess yeah uh federal authorities have released more details and unsealed charges and the theft of more than two million dimes. This is, by the way, up to, it was $750,000. Oh, wow. Which is, if I was to guess how many two million dimes was, and I wasn't good at math, which I'm not, I would have said, oh, that's probably a couple million.

That's not. Well, two million dimes would be, so that doesn't make sense, right? Because if two million dimes, you would just basically move the decimal point over. Oh, yeah, because it's tens. So hold on. tens so a portion of his cargo i'm sorry take it back the entire cargo which was a bunch of other coins

they only got the dimes all of it together was 750 000 so you're totally right two million dimes would be 20 grand 200 000 200 000 1-0 off 200 000 yes 1-0 you'd move it okay that's not bad i could buy things with that oh no i'm sorry it'd be the other way around you'd move it one more up so it wouldn't be 2 million each dime is worth 10 times the number of dimes, right? So basically, or not each dime's worth in terms of the number of dimes,

but basically you'd move it the other way. So 20 million. So two million dimes is worth $20 million. Oh, oh, right. No, no, no, no, no, because it's one-tenth. Hold on a second.

So not the dollars. So I'm sorry, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right? It would be 200,000 because you're going one. 200 grand, right? Not 20 grand, 200 grand. 200 grand. I could spend 200 grand of dimes.

I'd walk into a store, slam some dimes down. Give me that car, I'd say. that's right let's see a tractor trailer was loaded with these coins shut up all of you he's going to drive the chat crazy exactly oh we just broke the chat room the check driver was born for born bound rather for miami when he pulled into a parking lot to sleep on the 13th of april so this is just barely being talked about during the night thieves made off of the portion of its cargo a shipment weighing over six tons by the way with all the coins combined

That's a lot of coins. Is anyone using coins? What are we doing with dimes now? Yeah, no, nobody's using coins. Why do we? Coins go basically, I get coins from whatever. I put them in a jar. I take that jar to the bank, turn in to put it into my account.

I never, like I don't say, oh, hold on, I have exact change. Let me pay for this. I never do that either. Like, here's here. Oh, wait, no, hold on. I have a quarter. I never do that anymore. I used to.

Everybody used to, but I don't do that now. What do you use, what do you use the little change, catcher in your car for now if you don't put change in there? Or do you still? I use it for, uh, I use it for packets of splenda because a couple places that I go to breakfast, they've got stevia in the raw. I don't, I don't want that stuff. Takes too long to dissolve and it's way more bitter than Splenda. So I just keep, I just keep Splenda in that little container. Yeah, because that stuff's the, uh, it's plant based. It's very better if you have the concentrated stuff. Exactly. Even the light stuff, even the light stuff's got a bitterness to it.

That's, yeah, not to everyone's taste. but no exactly nope i take uh when i go out to breakfast i take splendor with me because uh 90 of the time places we go don't have it uh there's some people in the chat i think probably keep their weed in there oh probably a lot of those yeah you know um back to the change though you're finding a lot more at least i'm finding a lot more places that when you do order something when you like you go through the drive through let's take taco bell for example you went through taco bell yesterday yeah did they ask you you want to round up your change to the nearest dollar amount for such and such

cherry. They did actually. And we did it. Yeah. Yeah. And I do it too. And it's mostly because, well, number one, I'm not paying cash anyway. I'm usually paying with the app. Right. But that's probably to start lowering our dependence, lowering their

dependence on keeping change in the register. Well, I'm going to start, I have an idea. So that's, we're rounding up when we do that, right? Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to start rounding everything up. And here's what I mean. Okay. Anytime a number is high enough toward the whole number, I'm going to round up.

And so when someone says, do you have 75 cents? I'll say, I have a dollar, right? If somebody says... How often does somebody say, do you have 75 cents? Very rarely. Very rarely. This is a bad example. But if I...

Sir, can you spare 75 cents? But from now on, when I, when the doctor says, what's your, what's your temperature? And it's 96 point, whatever? I'm going to say it's 100. You're going to just round it up to the nearest hundred. Okay. Yeah. And he'll say, whoa, you got a fever then.

No. No, I just round it up. I just rounded up. Making life easier. But you're never going to round down. You're not going to go to the Taco Bell and they're going to say, all right, your total is $12.39. Please pull forward. I'm going to say, here's 12.

No, I'm not going to do that. I'm rounding down for charity. Yeah, I'm definitely not doing that. That's funny. Yeah, notice nobody ever asked you to round down. They only want you to round up, bastards. Well, there you go. That's all the news you can handle today.

We hope you enjoyed it. Now, we're going to take a break. When we come back, my sister will be here. It's a little bit of a follow-up this week in a couple of ways. We also got a follow-up text from somebody I'm going to read. But in addition to that, Brian and I both had homework this week. If you don't remember what that was, we will fill you in. We will tell you how we did.

And we'll see if Wendy has any judgment in either our directions. And then we'll kind of get. Oh, it was a bad time for this. this, but it looks like my router's about to go down for about half an hour. Darn it. All right, well, we'll see how that goes. It's weird how just yanked out of the wall like that with your fist using pulling action. Exactly.

It's so weird how, yeah. That's very strange. Anyway, that's all coming up after this song break, and Brian here probably... I can't believe my Ethernet cables are not impervious to scissors. All right, let's talk about the India in the middle. Hey, I'll put my two cents in for this one, which is worth

$2, by the way. This is a band called Shower Curtain. they are playing in Brazil alongside the American football like when football goes to Brazil in November this band Shower Curtain is going to be performing before that game, that NFL game

It's a song called Edgar. Edgar. Yeah, who the hell is Edgar, Claire? Edgar, that's what I want to know. Edgar Allan Poe. When I hear Edgar, I think of the old commercial from the 70s or 80s, and it was the kids' the kid's stomach was talking to him, and we'd go, Edgar, Edgar, this is your tummy, Edgar. Oh, what was that for?

What was the product? I don't remember what it was for. Food, probably. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was something that Edgar liked to eat. Let's see. Malto meal, apparently. Is it Malto meal?

This is the worst day of your life, Edgar. All right. I'm ringing Wendy, but it keeps coming back. I don't know if she's declining it. Or what's going on? She might be, maybe a call happened. Let's see if she texted me. We'll find out shortly here. Call happened. She says, give me a second. She says, give me a second.

No worries. That's all right, Wendy. It's not like we're doing a show here. It's not like we got, you know, time and stuff to keep in mind and all that. Just kidding. I don't care. She's fine. We can fill the air with whatever we need to.

This is a good time to say that I've never had maltoneal in my entire life. Wow. What about cream of wheat? I've definitely had cream of wheat growing up. It's kind of the same, right? same thing different brand different brands

different flavors like I think cream of wheat they have a different maybe even a different consistency slightly multi meal

oh yeah oh Campbell's owns them that's why Campbell's cereal company which is part of the now the mom brands company who is that she's from

Futurama there mom's mom's favorite little boy or whatever this Maltamil Oh, my gosh. There's a long history here.

Malta Mill, 104 years ago, founded in 1919 by John S. Campbell. Yep. Oh, they defunct in 2015. They're gone now. They defunct. Wow. Hi. Oh, hi, Wendy.

Hello. Sorry. Were you doing a call? We were trying to break the room. I know. I just needed like one more second. And that ringtone is a nightmare. Yeah.

Yeah. You can mute it, but then you won't know we're calling it. So it's up to you. You can totally turn off the sound, but, you know, you do what you do you. It's just alarming. Yeah, no, I understand. But I'm here now. Hi.

Hi. Welcome back. How are you? Hello. I'm good. Oh, good. Let me talk to Wendy. You got to do my intro.

Oh, yeah. It's Wendy, everyone. She comes here on Thursday to do therapy Thursday. She helps you with your problem. She's a real therapist. And that's good for you because you'll get some free stuff here, some free ideas, all right? And last week, you gave us homework. Before we get to any of that, though, I have a follow up from a listener.

There's a short text that I would just like to read. This is from Katie in Philly, who says, Hi, Wendy. Last week for Therapy Thursday, you were talking about things that we enjoy that not everyone can identify with. See, my very own bird watching hobby kicked in as I heard a Blue Jay outside your window through the microphone. Yes. It has happened two weeks in a row, and it always makes me do a double take and my nerdy birding ear activate. I thought you would get a laugh out of it, Katie.

Oh, I love it. I just had a cardinal just now staring at me. Oh, my gosh. There's a sweetest app where you just hold your phone up and it hears every bird in the vicinity and then tells you what they all are. Oh, that's cool. That's cool. What's that called? Tell me more about this.

What's the name of the app? I can't remember. But it's great. Adam does it all the time. And now he thinks he can guess the birds, but whatever. Can he? Can he do it? Yeah, probably.

And there's always a swallow in there. 100% of the time. There always some little swallow doing anything. Weird. But that's so cute, because I get Blue Jays and I get Cardinals, and I can't stop thinking about baseball every day because of it. Well, here's some advice, though. If a Cardinal is staring at you through your bedroom window and you're not in the Vatican, everything is fine. Don't worry about it if it's a bird.

But if you were in the Vatican and there is a Cardinal standing there in his big red robe staring at you in your bedroom, I would be freak the F out, all right? That's all I'm saying. How long have you been working on that joke? Oh, weeks. Finally got it out. Still workshopping it. Wendy, let's get into it. Now, here's the deal. You gave us some homework last week. Brian's was to do some reading.

Yeah, but that's not important. Brian, everything is a therapeutic issue. Is there a reason? You did not do it? Well, he did. I read, but I didn't read something that was fully out of my wheelhouse. I read something that had been sitting on my shelf for a long time that I'd been meaning to read because I couldn't get to the, I don't know where the box of classics are that I was planning on reading. I was planning on reading, like, something Po or H.G. Wells or something like that. So I ended up reading a graphic novel that's been sitting on my shelf forever.

So that's something. Is that all right? That counts. I read, I broke my tradition of just, like, plopping down in front of the TV and I read something. It's the equivalent of, it's like in school when these kids, it's like, use Wikipedia and the teacher, you know, the teacher's like, well, I guess that's okay. It's like that. Yeah, no superheroes in it. It's no superheroes.

It's about an A&R man in the world of music. and had nothing to do with superheroes. How's that? Yeah, see? I mean, it's a new genre. Way to go. And just sitting and reading. I mean, even just doing a different behavioral thing, I think, you know, that's a start.

Good job. No need to apologize. Mine was to cook something and not just microwave, you know, hot dog or whatever, but to actually cook something and do it from scratch and with real ingredients and all of that. So I did. The only thing Kim helped me with was the core idea. for what I was going to make, which she was like, well, do you want to make? What do you want to make? I'm like, well, it's getting cold, you know, something maybe soupy or, you know, some kind of

stew or something. And she says, well, we have this Tom Yum soup base stuff. It's like a powder form, which makes like that, where do you get it from? You get a Thai place type restaurants, right? And I said, oh, okay, let's start with that. So from there, I built a, where do you get a, you vegetarian because I wanted the carter to eat it a vegetarian soup thing I don't know what to call it doesn't really have a name but I will share these so I put photos in our discord so you both can see what I the stages but um chat room you can see him as well that's the that's the beginning with it with the mushrooms then we got we got the potatoes I cut all this stuff up got all the ingredients myself yep cut up some green peppers kale potatoes mushrooms mushrooms are mostly for me

no one else in the house likes him. The base is this a little bit of chicken broth, water, uh, four teaspoons of the Tom Yum stuff. Chicken, chicken broth are not terribly,

uh, vegetarian. Or not chicken broth. That's not what it was. What was it? Shit. Or no, maybe it's that Carter is fine with chicken broth.

That might be it. Okay. Okay. I think that might be it. I was just going to say, um, real quick. Yeah,

no. Before we get email. To her, to her, it's not meat. But to me, it's silly to not eat meat if you're going to eat chicken broth. But anyway, that's the whole Carter argument. But anyway, this base here with all this is in the pot there.

And then I added all the ingredients. You can see that stage there. It looked pretty gnarly at first. I wasn't sure it was going to work out. It just looked like I was making like a mess. But then the final one is a little bowl of the stuff with some nice toasted sourdough. And it was amazing. It was so good.

It was fantastic. And not too spicy, just spicy enough. tons of veggies just a lovely little thing i got leftovers i'm going to eat some of that today kim uh kim and carter both thumbs up they didn't they didn't uh tell me what to do or how to do it except when i was cutting stuff kim said um don't put your fingers like that you want to me she has a really sharp she had a cut yeah she has really sharp uh i forgot the name of the knives there some fancy knife she got for a gift and she told me how you do the knuckles out but the fingers tucked in and I didn't know that so prior to her telling me that I'm like you know within a

millimeter of cutting myself every time I was bringing the knife down and she's like no no no do this other than that though I worked really hard on making this just like me doing my thing and everybody was very happy so Wendy what do you think of what grade do I get in Wendy class today oh you're muted by the way I don't know if you cheek to muted or what you did there but you muted oh yeah no I went to go get my phone so I could text you a picture of the thing I did for homework Oh, very nice. I did. I didn't.

I'll tell you about it. It looks amazing. I'm really, I'm going to. Are you impressed? All right. Yeah. It does look really, really good. Now, here's the big question, though.

Did I experience the thing you're pushing for here, which is this kind of a get out of your, I don't know. You said it earlier. What's the term we're using here? Your comfort zone kind of thing. Yeah. But you have a word for it, Wendy. What was it? I don't.

maybe know what you're referring to other than like we were talking about loss of self right and how throughout life we sort of are doing yeah various reasons a lot of what we who we are can get loss like starting parenthood is a great example of how some identity features dissolve or you know maybe something traumatic occurs like there's a lot of folks will describe those kind of like I don't even know what I want or who I am anymore that kind of thing um all the way to just like never knew what you wanted because you were always doing what everyone else said to do. So this is just, I don't know what word I use, but this is the idea of, I'm going to, I have an inkling that I care about something or I want to try something.

And you both said them quickly, right? And whoever's listening, like the bird friend, you know, she's like, I need to get a look at birds or whatever it might be. Like you, some people are already doing the thing that really they can feel is part of their identity. And this is not all about your identity as everything you do, but I think it's rekindling a connection to maybe a you that never existed, but could have. Yeah. It's a little sliding glass door moment. You really are Guy Fierry, right? Yeah.

Yeah, for a hot second there. Honestly, it did have this, it had this, it has had this weird. So I was paying, you know, I don't know if I was paying hyper attention to it, but I was paying attention to how this felt to do this. and what I came away with was you have convinced yourself you're so bad at this that you're, it's actually,

it's become a false truth in your life. Like I have told myself for so many years, partly because, by the way, Kim says she does this with art. She used to draw all the time. She's very good. But when we got married,

you kind of quit. And she's always said to me, well, I always just felt like I couldn't keep up with you and now with Carter. and everybody else who was doing this. It just didn't seem like I was good enough. And I didn't know that.

And I think she did a similar thing in that regard. So her cooking, which is awesome, I think I've put myself in a corner where I'm like, well, you can't cook. Kim can, but you can't. You suck. You're bad at this. And then if I just do it,

if I just lay the stuff out and go for it, crank up the heat, try not to burn nothing and watch your fingers, I can actually do it. And so it was kind of not revelatory. like life changing but it was this moment of like oh well quit being a baby you can do this more often than you think and it's not all dogoritos and it's not all you know microwave burritos weird eggs and weird eggs yeah i can do more than that like the stare the stereotype that the husband doesn't know how to cook anything is kind of fun and funny and we you know i can only take that so

far but at the end of the day i made enough food for probably six people and it was all very good and it was healthy and it worked out and it wasn't gross and broken and you know i didn't anything so yeah like it was a really positive experience for me that made me want to try to do it more yeah and i'm not just telling you that because it sounds like the way this story should end yeah we're gonna follow up tell me what it is you'd like to hear and i'll say it yeah i'll say whatever you want yeah that's just like real school i like this like real homework anyway yeah very cool okay do you can you put my picture up did you get i did so wendy wendy looks like you're doing a little uh little crafty work yourself here what is this looks like

A table? My friend cuts my hair and does my hair and I'm at her house and there's pieces of her old dining room table all over the place because she's putting up a new one

and got to get rid of it. She got it when she bought the house from a very old lady they just left it because it was so heavy. And when was the last time you saw really heavy, good wood? There's something that happens in us as humans that our grandparents

did not appreciate in their furniture. They did not have laminate garbage and so they don't appreciate when you really feel the wood. Anyway, so she's like, oh, I'm just getting rid of this. And I'm like, as much as I really wish I could be like a Facebook marketplace person who can just go get someone's crappy thing and refinish it or something. But I just can't do, I don't know, I, someone's just got to give me it.

So that's what happened. So she gave it to me. And it's not like we really need a new table, but I just couldn't help myself. So I brought a home and I bought a spray gun, you guys, like a professional it's really not that expensive. You'd be surprised. That's one of those painting spray guns. Yeah.

That you would... Right. Because I got a couple things I need to paint and I actually enjoy painting a little bit and but I have never done furniture. What? Tell me you went to Harbor Freight because you probably got that for like 12 bucks at Harborfront. Oh, I did not. Oh, you should go there.

That was a better choice because mine was way more than that. Anyway, so I just went to the old fratel Avalonies Ace Hardware. Does anyone else have a Fratelonis or is not a local name? It's a local name, but we do have an Ace Hardware blocked away. Yeah. And it is so it feels like you're walking back in time. They even have a whole-timey candy and 200 people to help you.

It's like the opposite of Home Depot. Right. They have a popcorn machine at years. Oh, no, but that'd be perfect. But everything costs three times as much as you expect. It's so expensive. But I'm like, I am supporting local. Anyway, so I go in, talk to this guy.

He helps me with all. all the things. I buy all the stuff. And then I just went at it. So the picture you have is just the, are you going to post it on the? It's up on screen for people. Oh, they get to see it. Yeah. Oh, sorry. I thought I did. Apologies. Hold on. Oh, that's great. But that table is heavy and it was already ruined guys. So I can't ruin it anymore. But you can see all the pieces that go that's a wild, wild base thing. I know. It's so cool. You could put a child in there and they could not it out. A hundred percent. Oh, just birds. Just kidding. Or something. Like, you could put something, fish. A small dog. But it is so freaking heavy. Anyway, and there was weird brass around the

base, and so I ripped it all off and, like, have been spraying and painting. Anyway, it's super fun. And I'm like, who needs something painted? I'm, I've turned into, I don't know, like, I feel like I should, my alternate life, I was a house painter. I don't know, but it's really, it's really fun. So I had a similar thing. And this is. is what happened when I was painting. It was this morning I was doing a second coat and I should not have been. I should have been getting ready for clients. Don't worry. What else gets me doing an activity at 7.30 in the morning only apparently spraying furniture. But anyway, so as I'm doing it, I have this feeling like, oh, I want to cancel all my clients and just do this all day. And I thought, oh, there's not a lot of

things in my recent life that I have had that feeling about. You tapped into some primal thing that you never explored before and it's interesting and just like the satisfaction and also the speed you can paint a whole thing in like 10 minutes is pretty amazing um so so there's like an awakening let's call it that right now am i going to do this for a profession probably not right at certain ages maybe we don't do certain things for um like this is my new trajectory of life but that's what a hobby's for and we have this problem in america we have a problem where hobbies have to be a side gig because no one can afford to live, right? So now everything is sort of put into a hustle culture kind of thing and maybe the actual reward of the hobbying. We just don't get it. It turns into another

obligation or it turns into another burden, right? But I am open. If anyone lives in the Twin Cities and you need my gun, I will love to come help you paint something. Yeah. Because it's just so fun. So that's like a classic hobby in the sense of like I'm going to get something out of it. You know, It feels productive, but it also is really fun. And while I was painting, I was listening to Maria Bannford's book. Anyone? I love Maria Bancord. I like her as a comedian.

I don't know. Oh, my God. You guys. She's a genius. She's a local hero. She's from Duluth, Minnesota. Her impressions of her parents, oh, my gosh, is the greatest comedy. Anyway, she's wild.

And she is not for everyone. Her ability to switch between different female personas is almost, It's almost like you need to have her checked. It's crazy. Yeah, it's terrifying. But her whole book, it's a memoir, and it is her mental illness journey plus her comedian journey and acting. And it is a wild ride.

There are things you're like, what? And if you have never, you are not familiar with intrusive thoughts and OCD, and you don't want to know about that, do not listen to this book. But she just does not hold back. She has a thing where she feels this like, and she talks about this, but just this intense need to give actual numbers. So the editors always have to fix her stuff because she gives numbers. She's like, they offered me this much money for this book. Like she has to, she feels that urge. And one of my favorite things she's ever done is she went to the University of Minnesota

commencement and they asked her to speak. And she took the first 15 minutes describing how they asked her to do it for free. And she goes, I'm going to use the one skill that this school taught me and that is to negotiate and she went through and talked about how much money she asked for and went through the whole thing. Like she showed you how the sausage was made for a thing in a way that you are like, what? Anyway, I just, she's made. She's waiting. Yeah. So my, I finished the book, so I got to find another book to listen to while I paint. But it's great. If you want to a wild ride into mental health and realize like either you're doing great or you really need to call 988, she's got a book for you. It's pretty great. Yeah.

So that was what I did. But anyway, yeah. So that's kind of this idea of, hey, guys and gals and everyone, what is it you maybe haven't done in a long time? Or a thing you just thought, oh, that's stupid, right? Like, I can imagine your 20-year-old self or your 15-year-old self or your 10-year-old self. Like, what were the things you wish you might have been able to do

and you could do now, but you just are in the slog of life and maybe not thinking about it. And it's not going to have magic. fix your identity crisis. No, it's not going to fix a midlife crisis. But it is maybe a sense of, hey, are there pieces of me that have been neglected that maybe just need a little sunshine. Right. Yeah, I know that there are things like that in my life for sure. And cooking honestly is one of them because it's such a, it's such a communal experience. Everybody enjoys what you do. When you make something a good meal, people appreciate it. Also, humans have to eat. Like,

it's an imperative for our survival, like all of these aspects of it are a thing that I've let modern society conveniences just push away from me because I don't need to. Well, really, your wife is a good cook. Well, she's also, that's the other excuse I have, right? But when she's not around, well, we all know how it goes when she leaves town. It's a nightmare here. I know. Like crap. But I honestly, now I look at it this. So her, her sister and her sister-in-law and her niece are all going to go to Nashville for something. They were supposed to go during the week that Angel passed away and they obviously couldn't go for that. So they had to push it forward. So they're going to do that still. And when they do, I'm already thinking, all right, well, I know

what I can do here. I'm going to be like, you know, some of my friends, I'm going to go to the store. I'm going to go to the grocery store, you know, where they got groceries. Yeah. And I'm going to walk around and buy like vegetables and things that aren't in a package that aren't ready to heat and eat, you know, that sort of thing. And I'm going to actually really go for it the next time she's out of town. Let's just see what happens. And I feel inspired to do it just because of that simple hour long, however long it took me, it didn't take more than an hour to make that. Yeah. And most of it was making sure it was hot enough for the potatoes were cooked through and all that. Um, but it really did have that, that effect on me. Are you prepared to be asked to get

things off grocery yourself, Scott? I am prepared. Well, I don't need to because I'm tall enough. I can get whatever. I'm good. No, no, you, people asking you. Oh, no, I'm prepared for that. But the problem is you have you have resting helper face i have resting bitchy face that's i really do yeah so people see you and they think you work there even if you're not wearing a shirt the same color as the other guy doesn't matter they're like that lady seems like she cares about what i'm doing right now and i do in my case i'm scary looking and i look too tall and i look like i'm mad and i'm not and you do look like you're mad you're right you got a grumpy resting face okay i love this okay so we want pictures of what you make for yourself because the communal part you got to invite someone over you got

You have to have a reason to cook that might help you. If you can do it on your own, great, but maybe invite somebody over. Yeah. So what I was thinking is I would do it with the least partial people I can think of. Totally. Who is desperate for food? Carter's got a friend named Alicia who is super, she's one of the most straightforward, like logical, no, no nonsense kind of people.

No nonsense, right, right. So I think I've got to sugar coat or pussyfoot anything. Exactly. Probably have her over. We have next door neighbors, Mike and his wife next door. They would be maybe a great pair to bring over and they can bring their baby. Like I'm thinking that that would be a good way to litmus test this, right? I'll be nervous, though, because...

That's the best part. Is it? Yeah. All right. Well, I'm going to take your word for it because right now it feels like the worst part. You're going to be proud of it. You're going to work hard at it, right? Like there's some, the performance value of just enough nervousness, right?

Yeah, there's something to do that. There's something to that. You have some steaks, basically. You do. You do. Maybe we'll have sticks. Where's my table? I'm just going to eat on it until I don't.

We're having high steak steaks over at Scott's house. And Brian, you can just add maybe a different genre onto your reading list, but keep it going. Keep it going. Yes, we'll do. For sure. I love it. Okay. So this, I'm going to, I mean, we can, if you guys have other things you want to talk about with

this specifically, I'm going to just do something annoying with real steps. If you guys are open to it. Go for it, let's hear it. So I sent out an email today. So if you got the email, you can just hang up now because you've already heard it or you've read it. But I sent it out because, you know, I was thinking about often my tone in sending out emails for real steps is like, yeah, buddy, yeah, join us. And I thought, you know, okay, this happened the other day with a client. A client said to me, we had a session where it was just like, I just didn't like how you.

we're handling that, which is like brave to have honest feedback, you know? And he was like, you were just too enthusiastic. And I was like, oh, dude, I am deeply enthusiastic. So that bugs you. He's like, yeah. I'm like, dang it. Okay. Well, I will try to be less enthusiastic. But it was just a very funny conversation about like, we all have different responses to different people, right? So I was like, listen, Wendy, you can be real sincere in these emails. You don't have to be enthusiastic, but I still couldn't help a little bit. Anyway, but I'm going to do this. This isn't annoying. No one wants anyone to read to them, but I'm going to read to you the email. You guys ready? Yeah, I'm ready. Do it. Okay. I'm going to read it because it's a really good

example. And this is just a recent development of a client that I was going to share about doing what we do in real steps and how it's helped somebody because it's, it is serious. Even though we have a lot of fun doing it, it is, you know, it matters. Okay. So, Oh, here we go. I have a client who has struggled with her self-image since her eighth birthday when her grandmother told her to, quote, take it easy with that cake in front of everyone at her birthday party. Her mother, her aunts. I say aunts now, by the way. Do you say aunts now?

What the frick, dude? I like, I like it better. It's better. It's brilliant. Oh, no. Brian's right. You guys are totally right, but I can't believe they goose that out of you over there. That's crazy.

And I used to feel so weird. Now I feel weird saying ants. It sounds wrong. Yeah, that's weird. Sorry, everyone. Let's start over here. All right. Her mother, her aunties, her sisters and both grandmothers shared the same problem.

Body dysmorphia, chronic dieting, binging, and self-loathing. For many generations, they shared the same deep self-hatred and exhausting obsession about weight and size amongst themselves. This, unfortunately, was passed wholeheartedly onto every little girl, each new generation. So throughout this past summer, she and I have been working the real steps principles together. She worked hard and dug deep and has been able to heal her relationship with food and her body. She stopped weighing herself, learned to move in ways that finally felt good, and then almost miraculously, after 30 years of struggle, found total peace with food. Her birthday was

earlier this month. This is how she described her birthday meal out with friends and family. So her 38th birthday. So 30 years from that time her grandmother told her to take it easy with a long time to have that affect you. Every birthday, right. Okay. So after dinner when, this is her, after dinner when everyone was ordering dessert i checked in with my hunger levels and felt full and satisfied i didn't order dessert and felt nothing but calm and content not because i didn't have cake which would have previously been a form of sick pride but because i didn't want it for the first time in my life it had no power over me i could have eaten cake or not eaten cake it had miraculously lost all its meaning all its power all that mattered was what i wanted for myself on my birthday i finally felt free from

I finally feel free from the perceived judgments of others. I feel freed from overeating and mistrusting my body's cues. I am simply at ease in my own skin. Wow, right? When she shared the summary of all her successful changes, it hit me. What kind of world could we live in if more of us felt at ease in our own skin? What would it be like if parents taught kids the skills to be at ease in their bodies? What if generations of mothers, fathers, uncles, and aunts and grandparents handed down self-love instead of shame?

All was sharing a joyful slice of birthday cake. Wow. You know what? I want to feel like somebody who's at ease with their body. I don't know. Yeah. Right? I love to feel good in my own skin because I've seen you've got a lot more skin in the past. Yeah. I don't know where you guys would ever be able to participate in something that might help you with that. Gosh, I don't know. Is there any place around that could do that for us? You'll have to Google around. Figure it out. Anyway, so that was my, that was my pimping for real stuff. Um, Real Steps.org. It starts in two weeks. It starts Monday the November 6th. It's on a little post-Hlloween, a little pre-Thanksgiving. Um, and just to note everyone, we meet at noon central time on Mondays for a live meeting. Um, and if that doesn't work with your schedule, there's a recording you can check in afterwards. We also have a new group thing happening on Thursday nights. It's going to be a blast. So join us and eat birthday cake with us. Because we definitely, we eat,

birthday cake during it. It's pretty great. Right, but it's made of, but it's made of kale and healthy things. No, it is not. It is actually birthday cake and it is, it's an eye-opening experience. We love it. Nice. Well, that sounds great. That sounds like a really good time. Check it out. Realsteps.org is also where you can find all the information and you're going to want to, you don't want to be a part of it at some point. Maybe even we do. I don't know. I don't know. Wouldn't that be wild to have you guys there? Wouldn't it be wild? It would be, it would be, vulnerable. It would be like Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift

coming to your steakhouse in Kansas City. Oh my gosh. You're like, what? I don't even want to get into which one of us is Taylor Swift. No. I don't even want to be the football side of it. You know what's funny?

I was reading something about that and I thought, wouldn't it be funny? And I'm sure this joke has been not a joke, but this idea has been talked about, but they should put Taylor Swift on the cover of the next Madden game because she is drawing so many viewers every time she's on that she should be on there.

And then somebody pointed out, though. Picture of her cheering from the... Yeah, just doing like this or the big man, Madden 94 or whatever. But here's what's funny, though. There's a curse associated with that. When you make the cover of Madden, there's a long-running curse that if you do, you'll have a bad season after that.

You'll have a bad season, or you'll tear a ligament, or you'll blow your knee out. Like, there's a whole bunch of those that have happened. it's probably all, let me just say this. It is all bull crap. It's also true that a lot of football players get injured. That's really what the problem is. So I don't think she would suffer from it.

It's like her next album will be a flop or no one will care about her concert anymore. So just put her on Madden, all right? Put her in there. Unless you believe in curses. And I don't. Yeah. But can we just all appreciate this that it's made so many young, middle-aged and old men angry. to have Travis Kelsey reduced to his relationship and not to his profession.

Just a moment of what's that like. Taylor doesn't know. She doesn't know what it's like to have her career second. Yeah, but guess what? Everyone and their dog with an internet connection has an opinion on that whole relationship. I know. Who doesn't? That's really tight.

Can you imagine the wait? And for Sunday, the Chiefs are playing the Broncos here. Oh, Brian. I'm sure old T. Swiffy is going to be inattent. She did not come to Minneapolis and we're all bitter. Like the mayor even asked, please come. She didn't. I know it was new in the relationship, but here's the thing.

We were Kansas City fans before Taylor Swift because my daughter, Allie is in love with Patrick Mahomes because he once said he likes ketchup and she likes ketchup. Nice. And so she got a T-shirt. It's coming in the mail that just says, just a girl who loves Patrick Mahomes. A little hot take, by the way. I love ketchup. So cute. Loving the ketchup.

Also, his weird side throw is so fun to watch. It is fun to watch. Yeah, he's great. Well, more on that as the season continues. As the relationship continues. Yes. And then next week, we'll have another one of these. Wendy, thanks so much for hanging out with us.

Real Stops, I don't know, everybody to go check it out. Have a great week. And we'll see you next time. You too. Bye. So cool. See, Wendy. Okay.

Did that kick her out? It did. It did. And I'm still here. I like when she brings her mom to the games. I think that's cool. Oh, it's totally. cool, yeah. She seems like a sweet lady.

It's not Taylor Swift's mom, right? It's Travis Kelsey's mom that Taylor Swift is hanging out with. I thought she went with her mom once. Did she bring her mom? Okay. I know the photos I've been seeing were of her with Travis Kelsey's mom. With mom. Let me see if I because maybe I'm attributing the wrong mom

ship here. Well, that's definitely a lady. I think she came to a game. But also, you're right, she's hanging out with the other mom a lot. You know, that's just a nice thing. I think it's great. Look at these homes hanging out with the new girlfriend, uh, soaking in their own money, you know, yeah, yeah, they're all loaded.

I'd vote, I'd vote for Taylor Swift. She ever ran for something. I like her. She's nice. I do too. She seems to be an incredibly smart business woman, really. And it really seems like genuinely nice, which I respect. Uh, the best we can tell from here.

Miss this one on the 14th, but get into it now. Crowley wrote in and said, B and S, I approached my 50th birthday on 1014 with fear of being old,

but excitement for making another decade here and with my family. Unfortunately, on the 13th, my 15-year-old Shepard Lab mix started having some major GI issues. We knew he had had some problems in recent years with his liver, so we were worried the inevitable end was coming. Fast forward to 1 a.m. on my birthday, he started crying uncontrollably and other things I'll limit details on. 90 minutes later, we're at the local ER, the vet ER, where nobody ever wants to be for putting him at rest from his pain. Our pup's name was Jedi and was my, my wife's, and especially my 18-year-old son's bud for almost his entire life.

It feels like yesterday we were bringing him home from the adoption event. Please play something that has some connection to Star Wars as the word named Jedi will always hit differently from now on for me, signed Mike Crowley. Oh, man, I'm so sorry to hear that, but also happy birthday. one way and the other there. Yeah, exactly. And, uh, man, Scott and I both experienced that kind of loss and, uh, hurts like hell. Hurts way more than you think it is going to, you think it's going to, especially, you know, when you bring them home from the shelter, you never think ahead of time, it's like, well, I'm just bringing, I'm just bringing home heartache in 15 years or whatever it's going to be. Yeah, you never think about that the day you get them, do you?

No, no. But you know what? You gave them, uh, you gave, uh, Jedi the best life he ever had, he could have had and good on you for doing that. How about everybody's favorite Jedi, Yoda? This is from one of my favorite Star Wars cover albums of all time. My favorite, of course, being the one Andrew Allen did, live from the

canteena. This is a runner-up. Eucolalee Force, Star Wars cover is done ukulele style. This is performed by some Japanese name that I cannot read. Just blp-b-b-b-blop-prop-pruple little symbols. It is Yoda's theme, and it's on the

ukulele. And really, what more do you need than that? Going out to Jedi and to Mike Crowley. I'm going to be. ...andah, ...and... ...and... ...and...

I don't know what I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be. . I'm going to be. I'm going to be. I'm going to be. I'm going to be able to be.
