Starting point is 00:02:25 I'm Scott, and it's Brian. Hi, Brian. Hello. I think I like Daniel. Craig saying, ladies and gentlemen, the weekend. More than, more than I like Drew Barrymore saying, the sex say, our badge. Hey, you do a pretty good, you do a pretty good version of her.
Starting point is 00:02:42 That's not bad. Basically, we just have to talk like Kim Kardashian with a lisp, basically. It's like the vocal fry with a lisp. Did she get her, she got her show back after that little controversy? Oh, yeah. I don't know if she ever lost her show, just lost a lot of, um, cred. It's like a weird A weird bit of creed loss
Starting point is 00:03:01 With both her I guess her writers and her people But I guess she's back Yeah Now they're back to frolicing and having a good time Daytime talk show fun You know like you do I've never seen a single episode of her show Or of Kelly Clarkson's show
Starting point is 00:03:17 I take that well I've never seen a full episode She does covers every once in a while Clarkson does And I see those on YouTube every once in a while And I usually make it about 30 seconds into them And I'm like, okay, yeah, that's pretty much what I thought it would be. But it's a full-on talk show that she does, right? Like it's...
Starting point is 00:03:33 Yeah, yeah. But she performs sometimes, or does she do anything? She performs, I think, every time she does a song at the end of every show or something. Oh, really? Yeah. That reminds me, that's like back to our parents' variety hour TV days. Lawrence Welke, kind of, yeah. Weird.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Or more Dina Shore. Didn't Dina Shore used to... I want to say that she sang on her talk show all the time. Yeah, saying something off. at the end or? I think so, yeah. Oh, that's funny. That's a really big throwback and they're doing it again. Everything comes back. No Michael Douglas. We never had Burriff Griffin or Michael Douglas or Michael, Mike Douglas. Listen, I'm sure it's short for Michael. I'm sure his real name is Michael Douglas, but we already have one of those. So let's call Mike Douglas. That's why I wish these Brian Cox guys would get together and come up with a solution case.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Right. And just exactly. It's hard for me. It's like, oh, hey, Brian Cox, the one from Succession? Or the one that knows all about the black holes. Which one? The one that put adamantium into Wolverine or the one that... That's a even better way. Go deeper and go into their film roles. Or the one that goes on Rogan and classes the place up. Actually makes that show better when he goes on there.
Starting point is 00:04:46 We're going to do a whole full show of Tuesday goodness today. And I'm happy to be here and announce something, this is a very crucial moment. A turning point, really, in the... can you carbonate meat or not discussion? Yeah. Is that really ever the question, can you? It was more the question, did Scott once eat carbonated meat? I feel like that might have been the actual question, but okay.
Starting point is 00:05:11 You're right, you're right. But I think that it's gone, it's gone further and farther. It's the same thing when I say further and farther. I think we get established you probably didn't eat carbonated meat, but is it possible to carbonate meat? Is it possible to not only carbonate meat? meat, and then therefore, congest it. Congest it, ingest it is the word I meant for. You don't want congested carbonated meat.
Starting point is 00:05:33 That sounds terrible. So, someone in the, uh, our chat, or no. Meat failure. I got an email from Gabby, uh, listener to the show who sent this in. This is a video she found on, uh, YouTube under an account called omnivorous, omnivorous Adam. Pretty good name, actually. So Adam meets everything.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Adam meets everything, which is really a great title for the television show based on his life. Adam eats everything. The omnivorous Adam's story. Anyway, here it is. I'll play a little audio here as well. This guy's making carbonated steak and claims that he's done it. So let's just hear a bit of this here. Some of you guys have been asking me to do this for months,
Starting point is 00:06:13 and it's probably the only reason you're still following me. I can't believe in doing this. Here is how to carbonate meat. To give meat the bubbly treatment, we've got to make sure it's lean. A leaner cut of meat is going to take on carbonation more so than a fatty cut. So here I'm using filet mignon. The water content and size of whatever you're trying to carbonate matter, so here I'm just dicing them up real small.
Starting point is 00:06:30 The smaller and more water content, the item, the more carbonated it will become. And yeah, cooking does release a little bit of moisture, but I'd rather eat cooked pieces than raw. And this is called a whipping siphon. Maybe you've seen one of these at the ice cream shop or the coffee shop to make whipped cream. You know, but today we're making carbonated meat. And that's a mini CO2 cartridge. I'm going to drop three in today, and then I'm going to leave one for tomorrow, so for a total of four charges. Then I'm going to chill it down for 24 hours in the fridge for ultimate carbonation.
Starting point is 00:06:52 All right, one last charge, and now we're ready. When's the last time you heard your steak sizzle like that when you weren't cooking it? That popping is the sound of millions of little bubbles rising to the surface in this meat. There you have it, carbonated meat. It works, and it is a thing. Okay. So, here goes nothing. He, I feel slightly redeemed.
Starting point is 00:07:11 I think that's what I had. You think you had like you went to this guy's house. No, no, no, not his house, but somebody made this like he made it, is what I'm thinking. Somebody took steak. Put it into one of those CO2 whipped cream makers. Yep, yep, filled it full of CO2. Filled it full CO2. Carbonated it.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Shilled it for 24 hours. Yep, came out. And then put it on a plate for you. Yeah, and I ate it. I didn't see any of the process. I just know they said, hey, have you had carbonated meat in this scenario? And I went, no. And then they gave me some.
Starting point is 00:07:47 I swear that's where, that had to be the process. How else can you make this stuff? If I say, you know what, you're probably right. Does it put this thing to bed forever? No, it doesn't. Because even though I feel like this is the closest I've gotten to some proof dirt here, I feel like I still got a dig, you know? I got a dig.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Right, okay. All right. Anyway, more as we have it, more as we know it, everybody. Oh, Clark brings up a good question. Was it hot or was it cold? I'm sorry, no. Stephanie asks, was it hot or cold to meet you ate? Oh, that's a great question.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Do I have many memory of the temperature? I mean, my natural inclination to answer that off the cuff as if I was just being asked it without the context, I would probably thought, well, I think it was hot when I had it, but I don't know. I don't remember. So it's entirely possible. It was cold.
Starting point is 00:08:40 I do know it was beef. Have I said that before? Okay, well, we can rule out carbonated chicken, carbonated pork, carbonated fish. Yeah, none of the other meats were involved. It was definitely a steak or beef derivative. Anyway, I feel closer to the truth. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:59 All right, good. Thank you, Gabby. I appreciate it for you finding that. I'd like to ask you now she found it. She goes searching for this? Did it just show up on the feed? I'm sure. Listen, I mean, you can, you can find anything on the internet.
Starting point is 00:09:13 You can, there is enough stuff there to validate our Mandela's, enough stuff there to say, see, it wasn't a dream. You know, there's enough stuff you can prove or disprove anything somewhere. That's true. And if you can't, you can easily write up a Wikipedia article about it or make a YouTube video about it. Yeah, and there it was. So, you know what I might actually do? I might actually try and make this.
Starting point is 00:09:38 I don't have that thing, though, that he has. Oh, really? I've got one of those. It's a fancy coffee or mix cream. What's the deal with it again? You could, no, it, well, you can. You can put cream in there. It's basically a CO2 cartridge.
Starting point is 00:09:51 And then a container that you're basically adding pressure. You're basically putting the pressure, the CO tube and pressure into the whatever is in that container. So normally it's cream and then you just do whipped cream. And that way you can have like a whipped cream that's not full of sugar, but you can get it on demand and stuff like that. Okay. God, the thought of putting meat in there and then having to wash it out, because that meat in the actual carafe part, not a big deal, you can wash that up, but then having it go through the little valve that has to go through with the CO2 cartridge. Yeah, you're coating that whole upper upper apparatus with some meat, meat particles. That's kind of weird.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Exactly. Yeah. It's funny because I saw somebody yesterday with a bong cleaner, and this is how they did. this is crazy. It's reminded me of it because you were talking about cleaning bottles. You had a bong,
Starting point is 00:10:49 right? Like the kind of Dave, your neighbor would have. A big old fat base to it, curved up, you know,
Starting point is 00:10:56 I don't know how bongs work, but it's like, look like a bong. And you drop, he drops a magnet in there, and the magnet on the one side that would also be opposite,
Starting point is 00:11:06 you know, not repelled, but the other side. On the outside, that side had kind of a bit of a... Attracted to the, to another thing? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:11:14 that's I was looking for him. And it had like a little brillo side to it. Sure. And that was the attractive side. And so then this thing on the outside, he would grab that. It would go slink and hook up to it. And then he just rubbed around this thing. And all that weird dark residue in there from all the weed the guy smoked all got out of there.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Yeah, I've seen people do this with like big fish tanks, like where they can just basically have a thing that sits in the water. And then when they want to clean the tank, they just go, schloop. And it hooks up to the, you know, attracted to the magnet on the other side. And they just go, jip, jip, jup, and it cleans off the deal. That's a great idea. I'm trying to think when I had fish, did I ever have, well, my complaint when I had fish was none of the normal filtering systems ever really did that much of a good job. It was always as far as keeping the water clean and that sort of thing.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Yeah, I hated maintaining that thing. I hated it. Yeah. I didn't love those fish enough to keep doing that. So I gave them to somebody who liked fish, gave them the tank. They got the whole package deal. They got everything. Fish and their home.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Yeah, and they're good now. They repurpose their lives into a place they can survive. That's all good now. Nice. Nice. Lasaraj, no, he didn't squirt the meat out of the little pressure canister. He just had the meat in the container. That's true.
Starting point is 00:12:35 It's a good point. Maybe you wouldn't have to clean the little valve thing because it just was sitting in the thing. Do you guys, you don't have a soda stream? I don't think so. I thought everybody had a soda stream. We somehow missed that weird fad. We didn't get one. Weird.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Okay. I don't know why. We didn't. It seems like something we would have gotten, to be honest. Yeah, we'd love. We still use ours occasionally. And like we'll say, oh, yeah, you know what? I'm going to make a bottle of soda water and we still have a couple syrups in the fridge.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Those things live forever. Can you do zero type stuff on that? Yeah, they have tons of zero stuff. As a matter of fact, we have a zero cola that's not too bad. zero ginger ale, which is really good. And then Mizzula figured out, oh, well, you can make your own syrup by taking crystal light and adding just enough water to it to make a syrup from it. And you can put that in the soda stream. Oh, you make like a little slurry from the powder.
Starting point is 00:13:33 That's interesting. Exactly. But I imagine you could do the same thing with the soda stream as this guy does with a bottle. you just basically put the meat in the plastic bottle, no liquid, screw it under its little deal, press the button, and it adds CO2 and then cap it, refrigerate it, maybe do it two or three, two or three more times, and you're good to go.
Starting point is 00:13:56 I could do that. I mean, we'd have to get a thing, but maybe we will. I don't know. What are those costs now? What do you get one of those for? So to stream, imagine you can probably get one for $30, 35 bucks. I don't know. That's not bad.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Cheap on Amazon. It's not too bad. super cheap. I would have thought, like, I thought you were going to say 200 bucks or something. Oh, yeah, no, no. Definitely under 100, maybe like 50 max. People asking how I dust in my room, believe me, I use a, I have to use an air can because there is so much stuff. It's just basically got to go dust the whole thing, blow it all, and then vacuum like crazy. Yeah, same here. Which actually I'm due for another vacuuming. I have a good, uh, oh no, that's all gone now. I got to get some.
Starting point is 00:14:40 I used to have a can of really amazing compressed air cleaner stuff that I swear by it because it seems to last forever uses no frie-on or some other aspect to it that was environment-friendly or whatever. I don't remember the brand, but I would highly recommend it. I think I'm out, though, which is why everything's dusty in my office. Anyway, let's clean, Brian. Today is a clean day. Let's just dust.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Let's stop the show right now on dust. By the way, people are saying around $100 for a soda stream. So I think I must have gotten my... on a Black Friday or a Woot deal or something like that. Okay. Yeah, that sounds like what I would expect. And I'm sure there are brands that are better than others. I just have to figure out what's good.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Just the Soda Stream brand is the one you want. Because then you can get your cartridges at coals or wherever. You probably can find him at T.J. Max. Is that the place you go, T.J. Max? Yeah, we like going there. That's where I got the little soybeans and the else I get there. I got a shirt, a pair of pants, some weird hot sauce. That place is great.
Starting point is 00:15:46 That's great. That's so awesome. All right. Got a text from somebody that is important stuff. Ken wrote in. This is about when you joined ELR for the first time. Oh, yeah. Because we were kind of vague about when that all happened. We couldn't think of when it happened.
Starting point is 00:16:03 He says this. This is from Ken. He says, Hey, Scott and Brian, long time listener, first time caller. I was listening live this morning at a couple of hours. had a couple of hours to kill at work and decided to go do some sleuthing. Brian's first appearance on Extra Life Radio was episode 135.
Starting point is 00:16:16 You talked about Seamus calling you about chat services. Then it happened at 43 minutes into the thing for about a minute. Okay. He says, I hope you can track that guy down on the white pages. Love the show though, Ken. So I thought it'd be fun to see if we can hear this.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Okay, all right. Yeah, this is what Seamus actually called me while I was doing the show with you, while I was on live. He looked up, found my phone number in the phone, you know, the online white pages or something at the time. Yeah. Because this was what, 20, 2008?
Starting point is 00:16:49 2007. 2007. Okay. Yeah, looks like. According to the file date, like that could be wrong. Sounds about right. All right. I'm going to see if we can track down the time on this one.
Starting point is 00:17:00 So let's get off the bat. I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about the teachers who are also children of the 80s. I'm worried about my shitty mom. microphone is what I'm worried about. All right. Let's see. What do we say? Forty, what do you say? 43 minutes. 43 in here. Okay, here we go. Let's see if we can catch a bit of this. I'll start a little before it. In my mind right now. Oh, good. Well, yeah. The Bollywood, you know? Yeah, the Bollywood stuff. I would love that. If you could do that, that would be sweet. But I'm telling you, dude, this is, this is really, it's a pleasure for us to have your
Starting point is 00:17:34 stuff on the show. I hope you continue to be a fan and a control. in the way that you're doing it. And you'll always be a friend of the door. So thanks so much. Thank you, Scott. Extra life. Hey, everybody. We're back.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Thanks again to Rob and thanks again to Rico. Always enjoy his stuff as well. He's actually going to Taiwan. So I'm not sure how much we'll hear from him in the next couple of weeks. And by the way, I did not get a mashup from Sebastian today. So no dessert to today's show's dinner. Unless I get it before I post the show. I'm not sure what's going on.
Starting point is 00:18:04 He may be out of town. You sound so weird. I know. I hate it. And by the way, I didn't tell you guys this yet, but I went to get some water at the break. And Seamus, our ultra fan, who I'm actually thinking about getting the restraining order against, I kid, I kid. He called right in the middle of the show, when we were all talking. My wife's in here trying to hand me the phone.
Starting point is 00:18:24 She's going, it's Seamus. I'm like, he's just a nerd. He can't talk to me right now. And I said, I said, well, what does he want? And she comes and whispers in my ear. She says, you need to switch. to you, Torrent, over stick cam. I'm like, are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:18:42 He called me in the middle of the show on my home phone number to tell us to switch to a different chat service. I may have to. It's something he called me, too. There it is. My wife handed me a note saying, tell Scott you need to use Ustream.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Are you kidding me? I'm not kidding you. Oh, dude, I'm seriously freaked out. That kid needs to be stopped at all costs. Weird. That's so weird. Isn't that weird? That is really weird.
Starting point is 00:19:08 It's so strange hearing us from, I mean, 07 doesn't feel that long ago. I guess it was a long ago. Oh, 50, 16 years ago? Crazy! I had nasal mic disease. It sounded awful. All right, so we're going to talk to a famous here. I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:19:26 I can't do an impersonation of you, the old 2007 Scott. And I'm leaving all these old files to whoever, when I'm dead, these are all whoever's going to happen, right? Let's say Van will be in his 30s or something, and he'll find these. They can have them. I'm not listening to them. Unless there's a reason on this show to bring something up, I'm never listening to that again. Yeah. I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:19:47 I just can't go over it. No, I haven't listened to it, re-listened it to an episode of Coverville in years. Like, basically, once I record it and then I edit it, I listen to it long enough to figure out where the breaks are between songs so I can put chapters in there. And, nope, I'm done. That never, never to listen to that again. Yeah, I will occasionally do it now for just to see how things sounded, like making sure all my hardware is working and all that just in case I miss it in live or whatever. So I'll do that here and there. Once in a while, I'll end up like playing a film sack that we just did and end up loving the whole thing and just listening to the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Sure, sure. That will happen. But you're right. It's usually like record it, put it up, forget I ever did it, you know, don't think about it ever again. which is probably good and bad because I'm sure I said some shit in the early aughts that I would regret now yeah I'm sure we all did yeah I used to make fun of I used to do an impression of my brother all the time I called it ding pong and back then that seemed hilarious well guess what I'm not Korean and I probably shouldn't make those jokes even if he's my
Starting point is 00:20:56 brother so you learn you live you learn you move on you know Patrick I have a whole thing I have I have I have dirt on Patrick. You want to hear the dirt I have on Patrick? Check this out. Yeah. I mean, should, is there, is this, do we want to have dirt on Patrick? Well, let me just show you what I've got here. And you can tell me, is this?
Starting point is 00:21:13 Okay, I love you. Oh, that's my brother. That's my actual brother. Hold on. Patrick. Where is it? Let's see if I can find. No, hold on, everybody.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Just hold on your butts. Fine. No. Fuck up. Oh, there's plenty of games, oh, which I eat baguque, oh, okay, I eat baguette. I said, honestly, you need to have your head check. Sorry, I'm getting my fucking out.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Ah, there we go. Hold on. It's not about... Oh, this is a mashup or something. I'm just going through files trying to find it. We're going to swim in money. Bastion has a cuck. Oh, geez.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Scott has spent a little bit of time playing with his, and I have spent a little bit of time playing with mine as well. I'm not saying your literal penis. All right, I can't find it. He does it. Oh, is this it? Keep working on that. No.
Starting point is 00:22:07 No. Gosh, dang it. Really, really? Ah, I can't find it. I was hoping we'd get to the really, really. At some point, he did a full-on ding pong impression. Oh, really? Yeah, he got in some big trouble for that.
Starting point is 00:22:20 And I think I have the file somewhere. So, if he, you know, Patrick, you ever want to... If he ever gets out of line, you can... Oh, yeah, I can hold it right here and go, look what I got, by it. Yeah, great, nice. Anyway, Ken, thank you for that. That was awesome for you to go check. It was fun to revisit 2007 and then never go there again.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Oh, no kidding, yeah. 801471010462 is where that text came, and that's also where this one came. We heard from a cop who plays Pokemon Go. We asked for it, and we got it. Okay. He says... You asked for it? You got it.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Toyota. He says, yes, I have played Pokemon Go while on duty. Although, I am not a regular police officer. I belong to a reserve sheriff unit, and I have this. same authority as regular deputies, except arrest powers, but only while on duty. While it is sometimes a lot of downtime, uh, when we get to a location, uh, sorry, and when it actually starts or there's a break in, sorry, there's a breaks within an event. I don't know what an event means, but whatever. Uh, he did like a like fairs and schools, games, stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Exactly. Yeah. Uh, he says, uh, there's just a lot of downtime. So his point with, Because, yeah, they'll pick it up. They'll catch some shit. Yeah, and that's no big deal during downtime. I think the one we read, the article was that they were trying to catch an elusive snorlax while they were heading to a burglary in progress. Yeah, that's the seriousness of the actual event. Exactly, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:51 So I'll bet, you know, I'll bet 99% of the police who play Pokemon Go are just fine, or just totally fine. It wouldn't do something like that. Yeah, I'm sure. Like, that's the big difference. but also I guess, you know, we said, hey, if you're a cop, write in and let us know. Oh, and he's also anonymous. If you, if anyone, let me say this real quick.
Starting point is 00:24:11 If anyone out there is like worried to pipe up about a thing you're involved in because you don't want to be identified, I'll never reveal your name unless you say it's okay, right? Like some people were right in and just say, hey, I also like that movie. Well, I'm fine saying your first name, whoever you are. Of course, of course.
Starting point is 00:24:28 But if you're like a cop or a health worker or somebody who knows some stuff, or you got like insider business we're never going to like out you on the show so feel free let us know if you skipped out on some old lady getting beat up by a by a robber because you're playing a Pokemon go i won't use your name we'll just say you know you were a police yeah i might judge if we get somebody who emails that we won't reveal your name but i won't be happy with you oh yeah we're not okay yeah judgment we'll still judge you harshly and soul history but we won't say who your name is all right it's funny
Starting point is 00:25:02 Max robot says, I know people who used ambulances to chase Pokemon. Oh my gosh. You mean like turn on the siren and everything? I wonder if that's what he means. Oh, my God, siren and lights and everything. Quick, we've got a, uh... Oh, man, that's amazing. I'm trying to think what, what trouble you could get in with that.
Starting point is 00:25:19 It seems like a lot. That's right, yeah. You know? Like, don't you have to, if you turn your sirens on, you have to, you have to report that you're doing something. I don't know if you do. I wonder if you do, right? Anytime, I know that, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:32 anytime you fire your gun as a cop, you have to fill out a report as to why you fired it, even if it was just in the air to shut people up, which I know only happens in movies. But I wonder if you have to do, like you have to report why you turned your sirens on. Because one would assume, like you said with the bullets, I assume every bullet is tracked, right? Probably. I think so, yeah. So if you're going to be that picky about that, you'd be that picky about everything, I would think. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Maybe. Yeah, we'll hear from cops on this issue, because this isn't out of anyone. Yeah, they can tell us. My buddy in Nashville, pipe in. Let us know. I know you know. Hey, Scott, I forgot to mention this, but so Tina had a mistreated plan for Saturday. I had no idea what it was.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Turned out that because we had heavy snow the weekend before Halloween, they postponed a festival to the following weekend. So I finally got to go to a Dia de los Mertos festival. It was the weekend, it was a civic center park the weekend after Halloween. That's right. You were saying you weren't going to be able to go, but you didn't know. Yeah, I was thinking I missed out, right? Because I drove by that one on the first, and I'm like, oh, I really wish I would have stopped and just parked and went and had some awesome food and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:26:48 So, yeah, we had some incredible tacos. We had some sabiche. We had some, oh, like a cucumber cut in half, scooped out. and then filled with, like, a fish and vegetable deal. Oh, my God, it's so good. That sounds so good. Yeah, that was awesome. Did you guys get alote, the corn stuff?
Starting point is 00:27:13 We didn't. We saw some there, and I was like, eh, you know, I like a lote, but I don't need it on this. There was a really long line. It was like a bunch of different food stands, and so we picked from the ones that, like, had stuff that we definitely wanted that had the shortest lines. and if there was a short line for a Lute, we would have gotten it, but that's all right. That's great.
Starting point is 00:27:34 You got to go do that. Really cool. I should have sent you this. I guess I can still send you this now. But this incredible display. Let's see here. Let me send this to Scott Johnson. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:51 This is, what I'm sending you is a photo of this display that was at the front of the stage. And between performances, you could walk up and take a look at it and take pictures of it and that sort of thing. I was like, is this something that's okay to take pictures of? And they're like, oh, yeah, absolutely. We're celebrating, you know, celebrating the life of these people. Yeah, so this is like a massive shrine thing. Look at this chat. All of those, like, are little candles with photos of people that people have lost.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Somebody put a bottle of Southern comfort, lots of crosses, lots of. lots of skeletons and skulls and sugar skulls and reminds me a cocoa that movie very much so
Starting point is 00:28:37 yeah yeah all that kind of design that's awesome wow yeah that's beautiful and so I've never heard of an entire
Starting point is 00:28:45 festival getting bumped for snow I guess that makes sense why wouldn't they yeah because it's an outdoor it was at the Civic Center park and so they just said
Starting point is 00:28:52 you know what we're going to move it to the following weekend I had no idea until T and I pulled up and she's like oh awesome you're getting to you're getting to finally go to a dia de los marptos uh situation you know what i really wanted to see that lit up with the candles at night or yeah night would have been amazing yeah that'd be cool dude that's awesome nice nice date
Starting point is 00:29:14 once again tina delivers you know she delivers i've got big plans for uh for january that's my month that's your month you got a big month coming up well you don't do one in uh December with all We don't do December, because if we do December, then we always get the same months, right? So it's like, because there are an even number of months, it's like, well, you're always going to be January. I'm always going to be February. So we skip December because it's already a full month of things going on, family and all that stuff. So, and that way it alternates the months you get. Nice.
Starting point is 00:29:51 I don't know if I've told anybody this. I just realized it. I was about to go to news, but I was going to tell people this. So tomorrow, in a very small, and I mean very small, like no extra people, really just parents, siblings, whatever, Nick and B are getting married. Oh, shut up, really? Yeah, they're doing like a little shorty, shorthy thing. This all just happened.
Starting point is 00:30:16 I found out yesterday. Oh, my God. That's awesome. Oh, good for them. Just like a little justice of the peace kind of situation. Yeah, kind of a real simple elope kind of deal. and then in June they have bigger plans and they're going to kind of blow things out.
Starting point is 00:30:28 So that's the plan, but here's the weird bit. They've asked me to do the thing to marry. You're going to officiate, uh-huh. But I'm a little nervous because where's my wallet? I don't have it here. The card that I got that says I'm allowed to do this is all rubbed off on one side. And it's the side with like kind of the important.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Is it the expiration date? Yeah. And there is no, as far as I know, there was never an expiration date. you're supposed to be just kind of in perpetuity, which makes me think all this stuff is just a bunch of, it's just a racket anyway. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:01 But I'm just slightly nervous. I'm going to get there. I don't think anything is going to happen because they just, you know, they are the ones that procured the marriage license. They hand it to me. I sign it as the officiant. I think that's it.
Starting point is 00:31:13 I think we're done. There's a witness. But it's not like there's a representative from the state of Utah there to make sure everything's on the up and up. Right. So I'm pretty sure a lizard could marry them and it'd be fine. Yeah, I think really the important thing, thing is the piece of paper that they sign
Starting point is 00:31:26 with the witnesses and all that stuff, the marriage license. That is really the key. You can have a you can have Zoltar. Zoltar machine marry them if that would be awesome. It would be awesome actually.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Yeah, I would do that if I could. Who you take you may now kiss the bride. Here is your fortune. So just a quick story around this so they were scheduled they were engaged and have been engaged for for a while their original engagement was going to be a wedding next june that was the plan well now there's a
Starting point is 00:32:05 baby coming and they went oh well there are good tax reasons and other reasons that we really should do this now but then we'll still have our fun next year with the big thing and everybody coming and everything still do a big ceremony reception kind of thing yeah yeah yeah all that stuff so it's all very exciting and you know they get a little girl on the way we think i think that's what the doctor said they checked there was no stem on the apple as they say what's the um the due date uh February something okay so early next year and that way she's not you know I don't know she's not they just don't want to spend the money to do a wedding twice you want to do a little simple thing here and then that thing later yeah so I'm making them legal right cool and then the world will make them give them
Starting point is 00:32:53 you know, Amazon points or whatever the hell they are you. I don't know how that works. Anyway, so that's all very exciting stuff. Let's move on now to some news coverage from our crack news team here at TMSK4, local news. I can't find the thing. There it is. Today's news is brought to you by. Brought to you by someone who says, hi, I'm a big fan of frog pants.
Starting point is 00:33:23 and you've been a huge influence in my life. In my early 30s now, I owe a lot of it to you in the Frog Pants Network. I've donated my hair multiple times to help young girls with hair loss due to medical conditions. I'm currently raising funds for this charity and will donate my hair again. Here's the text from my order form. It says, I've been growing my hair since April 2021 to make real hairwigs for children and young people with medical conditions causing hair loss. I'm partnering with the Little Princess Trust and collecting donations at.
Starting point is 00:33:51 here's where you get your pencils out or you start typing Tiny.cc slash Chop that mop capital C-T-M and hyphens in between each words. So chop-hyphen that mop or dash, whatever you prefer
Starting point is 00:34:07 with capital C-T-N-M to support their cause. So one more time, tiny.cc-slash Chop that mop. Yep. And of course, tiny. dot CC weird about their cap. So you have to, that's stuff you have to pay too.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Yep, you do have to pay attention to the caps. It's a little annoying. I don't know who set that in like their name, but that's awesome that they did that. I think that's really cool. His name is George, and it sounds like George has a ton of rad hair. Yeah. I wish I had hair to donate. I would like to have some donated to me.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Thank you very much. I would like some. Yeah. Yeah, you too. I'm pretty thin now. I used to be thick and luxurious up here, not anymore. Sure, no. I used to have a full-on mullet.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Yeah, you did. So did I. All those were the days. those were the days what a time to be alive 1988 89 yeah oh you could just pull it walk up and pull it it was so good
Starting point is 00:35:01 yeah yeah all right let's talk about hundreds of pounds of cooked pasta mysteriously dumped in the new jersey woods now it'd be one thing if this was uncooked pasta right a bunch of shells right just a bunch of dry noodles like all right a shipman went awry and somebody needed a place to dump the yeah we haven't over it's ral sergento or whatever it is exactly we don't know to dump this. We don't know what to do, so we're just going to put it in the woods. Totally get it. It's Tony Soprano move 100%. It's all good.
Starting point is 00:35:28 However, this was cooked pasta, which is very weird. It says here in this article, imagine going for a leisurely hike and stumbling upon mounds of pasta in the wood. And that would be mounds if it's wet. Sure. Sure. Wet, gloppy, hundreds of pounds of wet cooked pasta. And probably steamy, right? A little steam coming off it. I mean, it depends on, like, how quickly you got to it after it was cooked. That's true.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Well, in the cold weather, you'd probably get... My guess, and I will get to the further in the story, but my guess is restaurant, made a lot of pasta, needed a way to get rid of it, didn't want to put it in garbage bags, said, you know, animals will eat this, let's put it in the forest. Well, they don't know. That's as good as, you could be on that police force because they don't, they have no idea.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Yeah, look for chef, look for chef Boyardee as a person of interest. Yeah, that guy's, he was always a little skeevy. I didn't like the way you looked at me. Exactly. Anyway, it seems very unlikely unless you were recently walking near the river basin of Old Bridge, New Jersey, where, oh, I like the name of that town, Old Bridge. Yeah, that's cool. See, hundreds of pounds of cooked pasta were dumped there last month. The origins remain a mystery.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Nina Jonowitz, who ran for city council in the town of about 66,000 people, posted images of the piles of pasta and a Facebook group thanking the Public Works Department for cleaning up the estimated 500 pound mess. I'm now going to share that photo with the chat. That photo is amazing. Oh, I just posted it myself. This is amazing. Look at this. I mean, that is a lot of pasta.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Yeah, that's a lot. I'd love to know how close to the road that is. Like, is it, you know, is it really close to just kind of toss it from the car? Or do they have to trek into the woods with bags of pasta?
Starting point is 00:37:10 That's a really good question. I would hope from a work standpoint, they just could dump it. But you know what it looks like? It looks like about 10 special forces guy brought the wrong they brought the wrong gilly suit to the yeah right they could all stand up and go freeze yep yeah they're like wolverines and uh right yeah was that called red dawn red don they got the wrong color they brought the desert ones and dumbasses yes exactly um i really like
Starting point is 00:37:38 how that looks anyway uh they say they're in her post she criticized the mayor saying he ignored the situation um she ran on a platform of cleaning up the waterways and environments in town and wants to improve waste and recycling services with new initiatives like bulk pickup. I mean, this literally is like mob territory, though, right? Kind of New Jersey, sure. Yeah, trash stuff. Like, I know the Sopranos is all about his cover is trash management. The front is, right, exactly.
Starting point is 00:38:07 But I think it's based on some, like, real stuff. I think so. Yeah, I think it was based on some mafia boss that was a real. my father sanitation uh front my my weird my mom's husband that guy john he says okay so take that for what it's worth he says that his he has a nephew out in new jersey still who is a maid man really a big high up in some crime family out there wow wow and that everywhere he goes everybody's real careful around him and real weird around him and stuff and i said to john i go why how come you You're always telling me these mob stories and these different nicknames.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Like he had a friend named Johnny Lookback. And this is literally, he says Johnny, he just told us this story, too. He says, Johnny Look Back. The reason they called him that is because his name, first name was Johnny. And everywhere he went, he would constantly look back while he was moving forward. So if he's walking down the street to a story, you'd look back, look back, always look back. So they called him Johnny Look Back. But he's got all these people like that.
Starting point is 00:39:11 And I said, why didn't you ever get in there? Why did you hold back and not join the family business or whatever? And he never has a good answer for me. It's usually just like, oh, I wanted to be a teacher or I wanted this or he never really had. Do you think he really was and he just couldn't say that he was really in the moment? Possibly. I mean, he's out here living in freaking Orham, Utah. Like, who does that?
Starting point is 00:39:31 That sounds like witness protection to me. He does exactly like he's hiding out for sure. And he's a little bit of a pain in the ass, so I don't know. You know, but he's got that whole, he's got that whole Italian like the stereotype of the loud guy at dinner. he's that guy and he's got a million stories and he's like hey hey like that kind of stuff
Starting point is 00:39:52 yeah he sees something that bugs him he's like oh like that Johnny look back so stupid that's great I love it sounds like a movie Brian Brian walked out of Johnny Lookback oh sorry
Starting point is 00:40:05 I would have I would have walked out of that that sounds horrible yeah that sounds bad alright here's another story according to this now you're a Disney fan you like going to Disney World and Land. I do. I like the Disney. Yeah, you're not a freak. You're not wearing Mickey ears every day like some people do. No, no. I have a, I have a
Starting point is 00:40:23 stitch bobblehead in my car. I get a lot of compliments on Stitch as he bounces around while I drive and that's kind of the extent of my outwardly presented Disney adult status. As a Stitch fan, where do you stand on the live action news that that's getting a live action treatment? It's been, I mean, when this this got announced, man, feels like months ago I love hearing that Pat and Oswald is involved
Starting point is 00:40:49 yeah I thought Little Mermaid was great What's his character do you know I think he's going to be playing a different alien I thought for sure Oh Pat and Oswald great He's definitely going to be doing the voice of Stitch But I don't know
Starting point is 00:41:03 Let's see if I can find Live action Lilo Stitch It's like such a strange one to make To me Chris Sanders is going to be doing the voice of Stitch with the obviously CGI. He did the original voice in
Starting point is 00:41:20 the animated film. Zach Alfanaxus is going to be the voice of Dr. Jimba Jukuba. Fantastic. Billy Agneson, Tia Carrera is Mrs. Kekwa, Jason Scott Lee, Amy Hill, Courtney B. Vance.
Starting point is 00:41:37 You know, I love that Jason Scott Lee. He's great. He is great. Yeah, should have done more stuff. I feel like he had a weird career. He started strong and then nothing for a while and then did that uh played played bruce and the uh dragon i think it was called dragon right i think it was called dragon yeah dragon the bruce lee story fantastically yeah i'm not finding i know i saw something with uh i'm not seeing let's see let's look at patten no no no patent mentioned in the wikipedia article so maybe that was a um a red herring
Starting point is 00:42:06 but uh when's this dude come out 2024 i'm guessing maybe he'll cameo is modoc maybe that'll happen great maybe anyway yeah it's all part of the multiverse scott it's all part of the multiverse it's all connected
Starting point is 00:42:21 that's what they do at Disney now well anyway according to this there's an urban legend been around for a long time that people poop a lot in lines
Starting point is 00:42:30 ride lines at Disneyland and Disney World it turns out the urban legend is true and it sounds awful but hear me out it does sound awful I can't imagine
Starting point is 00:42:42 Imagine what you're going to, how you're going to follow that with a butt? Yeah, right? Well, you might proceed it with a butt. It sounds too disgusting, too outlandish, and too weird to be real. A Disney urban legend of the gross out variety that people are dropping trow and pooping where they stand while in line for rides. But unfortunately, for the weak stomach, the rumor is absolutely real. Twice in the last month, posters on the Disney World subreddit comment commented in fury and horror about the cursed things they said they'd seen while waiting in line. quote, I am in the queue for the rise of the resistance.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Someone let their kid take a dump on the floor, and then they just walked around it and left it. WTF, one wrote recently. How about this one? Well, you know, in their defense, that can be like a two-hour wait, rise of the resistance. Pay the 20 bucks, then you can poop.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Some of these rides have like bathrooms in line. Like, you don't even have to worry about losing your place in line, especially if there's multiple people, have one person save a spot. Is that true? Rise of Resistance, so you could, like, peel off and go to the bathroom and then come back? You can peel up. There's, like, a bathroom for a couple of these rides.
Starting point is 00:43:47 I want to say, um, uh, Avatar has it. I'm sure Rise of the Resistance has it. Space Mountain, I think, has it. Hmm. Yeah. Wow. All right. So you just, you know, you just go, hey, hold my spot in line.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Go poop. Come back. Here's a guy from Disney on another thread. And he said, uh, let's see. Flight of Passage is the wildly popular attraction that he's going to comment on here. Oh, that's the, yeah, that is the Avatar ride. Oh, that's Avatar. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Yeah. So that's down, that's in Florida as well. Bodily fluids, here's the quote. Bodily fluids no longer bother me after working at Disney. Let's just say that the attraction I worked at was, or sorry, has what the cast ended up dubbing the poop hall? Because of the amount of times guests have gone there and pooped. We even put up a camera and it didn't. Oh, God. So it must be like a little separate hall that goes off of the main line. And people are like, here's a little quiet place I can drop a little dumpy-wumpy. Yeah. And they, yeah. I still, I'm still, people always say, what's the, what video were you accidentally bumped into on the internet? Like someone sent it to you as a joke or whatever that scarred you? And a lot of people might say, oh, well, that'd be goatsy or tubger or whatever. Any of those things, right? For me, it is this one video that isn't even that graphic.
Starting point is 00:45:11 it's black and white and it's in a store like a grocery store I think it's black and white I can't remember if it's color or not but anyway it doesn't matter it's security footage so it's kind of already creepy
Starting point is 00:45:23 and a lady walks through this aisle it's like a frozen food aisle you can see the refrigerators she stops looks both ways lifts up her skirt and just takes a big crap and then just keeps walking I have never
Starting point is 00:45:40 gotten over that. It's just the most that sounds like the most horrifying thing to me to do. To do in public. Like, where are you? A freaking bonobo out in the middle of the desert or wherever they live? Right, exactly. There are bathrooms and grocery stores. They will let you use them. I can't believe how awful that is.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Someone in the chat will find this video because it's kind of not famous, but I think it went around. It did the rounds. It's awful. You, uh, did you watch White Lotus season one? Yes, we did. Kim and I did. Oh yeah. There's a moment in there. There's a moment.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Thankfully, the other seasons didn't feature. No poop in the suitcase from Christopher from the Sopranos. Somebody said, someone in our discord or I can remember where I read it, but somebody was saying they should hire for the next season because of a certain character who's no longer in the show for reasons that you'll know because you watch that, they should bring in, oh, I've just lost her name. She's the
Starting point is 00:46:39 Handmaids Tell Mean Lady She was in Oh yeah You knew what I'm talking about I know who you're talking about Leftovers Yes She went on
Starting point is 00:46:50 She got confused with With With Madge Yes Yes exactly Actually either of those women I thought you're going to tell me Like Jane Lynch
Starting point is 00:47:04 Would be a good replacement For that first That'd be perfect Given the previous history that's perfect oh my gosh that would actually work pretty well
Starting point is 00:47:13 what is that woman's name hold on she was um how lee I know I just I just had it in my head and left yeah
Starting point is 00:47:21 and doubt and doubt she's also incredible in hereditary she's also in that oh yeah yeah she's very good
Starting point is 00:47:31 she's great yeah Payman Payman the great all right moving on let's Oh, Fred, it is time for you to do your duty as a handmaid.
Starting point is 00:47:45 That's not a bad endowed. It's not bad. No, it's all right. She has that weird, like almost New England, uh, twin gender voice, yeah. Did I, I told you that I played wow for all those hours and I ran into those mole. I did talk about this, the mole people that sound like Fargo characters. Oh, yeah, yeah, Fargo chitmunks.
Starting point is 00:48:06 At first, it really graded on me. Now I love those little guys That's awesome Because they're just like Oh be careful Oh we did Oh okay I'm not gonna show it
Starting point is 00:48:17 It's not safe for work it says So Daily motion They have everything That the world wants to hide This does look like it This is it Watcher
Starting point is 00:48:27 Look at this Brian Oh it's her Wow All right I wasn't unexpected Can you imagine this and she stays for the extra little to-toot-toe walks keeps on walking and then she looks back to oh geez then takes a turn hoping nobody saw her but the eye of god saw you isn't that awful that's horrible
Starting point is 00:48:52 oh my god that was actually good for me to see because it's less it freaked me out less this time got some closure yeah is you feel less scarred a little bit yeah not much though i think is the one that scarred me which which oh tub girl's terrible tub girl yeah oh god Someone, boy, it was a long time ago, it was what, Bud, J. Bud, somebody, Jay, or Bud. Larry Bud Melman, no. Not Larry Bud Melman, but there's a, you know what, I'm not even going to bring it up because it's just too, it's too freaky, but somebody, that's one video I stumbled on. I'm like, oh, God, I never need to see that thing. It was something televised back in the 60s, and it was like, oh, geez, that's horrendous.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Oh, is it like an on-air? It was an on-air, live... Like a shoot-yourself deal. Kind of exactly. Yeah, those are bad. I recommended a movie about a lady who did that. That was actually a really good movie. But it was, you know, it's a pretty stark subject matter, for sure.
Starting point is 00:49:51 Yeah. Let's move on to some starker subject matter of a break. That's a very stark thing to talk about. Oh, okay, sure. We're going to take a break. When we come back from this break, Amy will join us. We've got a couple of books from her to recommend this week. I've got one as well.

Starting point is 00:55:03 All right, we're back. Tell me who that was again. Sure. That was a band called The Sex Tones. From their brand new album, Love Can't Be Borrowed, that's the song The Other Side. Nice. The other side. Yeah, the other side, baby.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Don't forget about the other side. They're darksided too. All right. Let's bring in red fraggle. three. She is mostly known by Amy to her friends and family. I think we qualify. We're her friends. I think we qualify for that. Yeah. And we're going to do this right here. One of the things that I enjoy also is reading. Ah, yes, that jaunty music means it's time for read this with Amy and she's here. Hi, Amy. How are you?
Starting point is 00:55:56 Hi. Hello. Good morning. It feels like it's been way too long since we talked here on the show. I know. I know. I'm not quite used to this new page where I really talk to you guys once a month. I know. It is weird. It's like you're just some strange neighbor that sneaks in and leaves Twinkies or something. Oh, Sleasing he's leaving Twinkies. Leaving Twinkies? Not even homemade baked goods. It's Twinkies? Just Twinkies. Still better than leaving us. Jeez, what a sheepskin. It's better than leaving a certain something in a hallway of a store and a security camera, though.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Yeah, right. It could be worse. It could be a lot worse. Anyway, it's good to have you here. I'm going to make a quick recommendation of my own real fast just to get it out of the way. It'll also be very tonally different from what I'm guessing you're going to have to recommend today. And that is a book I just finished called Intercepts. It is by an author named T.J. Payne. And on the front of it, it says intercepts a horror novel.
Starting point is 00:56:54 But I'm here to tell you it's way more science fiction and intrigue than it is horror. It has horror elements. And it's kind of intense in parts. but for the most part, it is a book about kind of a science fiction thing and a what-if sort of question and, you know, the surveillance state that we might live in and that sort of thing. But it's really unlike anything you're expecting. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes any of the stuff I just said. It was awesome.
Starting point is 00:57:19 I ripped through this book. Just tore through it. And I'm already on to his next one because I liked it that much. Again, it is called Intercepts by T.J. Payne and would recommend it. didn't do the audio books. I have no idea how that thing sounds, but the Kindle's where I read it. It was very good. Oh, and it's on Kindle Unlimited, which is nice. And even if you don't have unlimited, I think it's only like three or four bucks for the platform. But yeah, this is going to be a guy to watch. T.J. Payne. Yeah, T.J. Payne is his name. T.J. Payne. P-A-Y-N-E, you said.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Yeah. P-Y-N-E. That is correct. Yeah. Okay. Cool. He's awesome. All right. There's mine. Out of the way. Done. Now let's move on to a more. positive book track with less entry in science fiction and horror. I don't know if it's more positive, but it is totally different. So I brought two books with me today. Oh, and before I forget, you guys mentioned this. This is way back. You guys were pontificating about do they still do the thing where they present somebody
Starting point is 00:58:24 with the key to the city? I can tell you they do because, yeah. And this actually ties in well because Brian was mentioning the mystery date thing. And so I took Chuck on a mystery date last month for October. Patton Oswald was playing at this teeny little club in Athens, Georgia, called the 40 watt. It's like a tiny, tiny little place. And so I jumped on that. And it worked out great.
Starting point is 00:58:56 Like he had no idea what we were doing. He's like, okay, we're in Athens. Why are we in Athens? and, you know, we're definitely doing something that has a time thing. And then we pulled around the corner to where we could go park the car. We drove past the venue. And, of course, it was on the marquee. And he goes, holy shit.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Are we seeing Pat and Oswald? I bet he was stoked. I probably got so excited. That's awesome. That is so awesome. Well done. Nice, nice pick for the mystery date. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Well, it just kind of, it happened to work out well. I don't know. I guess I just kind of happened to come across my feed that that was going to be there. And unfortunately, I have no pictures or anything because we were, they put the fear of God into us like, this is all new material. He's just trying stuff out on y'all. So like there's no recording, no, no, no pictures, no nothing. Just don't have your phone out.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Don't be that guy. And I was like, okay, okay, message receipt. I knew. Not do that. I knew I had heard of this place, though, this 40 watt place. And I just found it on their webpage. I knew this. I had heard that this was like an R.E.M. B.52 joint.
Starting point is 01:00:04 Like in their earliest days, they were getting gigs here. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Awesome. You know, I grew up in Athens. Like, that's where I, that's like my hometown. And I also, you know, I went to UGA. So when I was in college, the 40 watt was where we went out dancing at 2 in the morning
Starting point is 01:00:23 after we, you know, closed down whatever bar. And by that, I mean, got done working at. the bar of course we would go to the 40 watt because you know they would have they would have you know club dancing after after hours you know so that's where we would go to blow off steam that's great that was my old stomping grounds but but to tie into the actual story i wanted to tell the mayor of athens came and presented pat and oswald with the key to the city oh my was it a giant was it like a big it was a giant oversized key a big novelty actual key those are the best yeah yeah see i would love one of those you would hang that up with pride
Starting point is 01:01:04 right behind your wall oh for sure hell yeah i would love that can i get the keys to sol like city probably not i don't think i've done anything you give me the keys to coverville how's that okay send me your comically large key you could you could 3d print him i could i was thinking about 3d printing a giant key yeah that would be great we could do we could do a big prize for some major contest and call it the key to TMS or the key to TMS key to the city like you know one level because we have the crown for a while yeah yeah the TMS queen of king and queen of TMS we could do it we could do it I'm telling you well anyway that's awesome that's so if I walked into the 40 watt and saw you and you're off somewhere in the corner I could say that's you in the corner I could say it
Starting point is 01:01:47 in Michael Stuy boys uh is there a spotlight too though it's a question always a spotlight you know it's the 40 watt so it's very dim in there it's got to be a dim in there it's got to be a dim A dim spotlight, yeah. Yeah, that's a very small bulb of 40, a power of a bulb. Yeah, it's a small club. And so that's, you know, that's literally, that's the, that's the history behind that club. That's the thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Got a bar here in Arvada called the 12 volt kind of similar situation. But that's a place you don't want to accidentally brush up against the walls because you might, you might move enough dust to see the actual walls underneath. Oh my gosh. I love places like that. It's so funny you say that because I had I had similar thoughts. I had to use the restroom while we were there and I went in and there was just like you could tell everything was clean. It wasn't that it was just like everything was painted really glossy black and you could see how caked with multiple levels of paint, you know, because they come in there, everybody graffiti and whatnot. Yeah, they just paint over it.
Starting point is 01:02:50 I'm going to just paint over it again. And it's like, man, that thing's probably more paint than door at this point, you know. Yeah. I love that kind of stuff, though. It's our version. America can only do so much aging because we're such a young country where, you know, you go to Rome or you go to freaking England or anywhere and you've got thousands of years of shit, right? Old, crusty buildings, crappy old stone structure things.
Starting point is 01:03:15 Here, we have to like just paint over a door a million times or we have to, I don't know, We just don't have as cool, you know, our closest thing to mythology is the Old West. You know, we don't have stuff like the Greeks and all that. So we have, we don't have, like, ruins that we can uncover in a cave somewhere or something. Right, we don't have that. We're boring that way. I've stayed in hotels in Europe that are older than, you know, our entire country. So, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:42 That's crazy. And they're still just taking, selling rooms and taking names. That's fantastic. All right. Let's get to your book. You've got two of them this week. So I have two. So I'll let you guys pick which order we do these in.
Starting point is 01:03:55 I have a fiction and I have a nonfiction. What do you think, Brian? You want nonfiction or fiction first? Let's do nonfiction first only because that's the order that I have them in on quicktms. There's zero other reason to choose. That's fine. It's a clerical reason. We'll take it.
Starting point is 01:04:08 Okay, good. Excellent. All right. What do you want to say about this nonfiction book? Yeah, I will say that it's timely and put it at that. All right. here's the clip. Let's not sugarcoat it. At 49, I was still afraid to be alone. Left alone, my crazy brain, crazy only in this area, by the way, would find some excuse to do the
Starting point is 01:04:33 unthinkable, drink and drugs. In the face of decades of my life, having been ruined by this, I'm terrified of doing it again. I have no fear of talking in front of 20,000 people, but put me alone on my couch in front of the TV for the night, and I get scared. Oh, man. So this is his recent autobiography. He didn't recognize his voice at first, but then when you realize who it is, it's like, oh, man, he sounds like he's been through stuff, you know, and he has. Yeah, it sounds, yeah, it's, it's, and it's, it's hard. I'm not so much recommending this book as I am, you know, putting it up to kind of honor him. So that is, of course, for anyone who didn't recognize, it was Matthew Perry reading his own autobiography, which is called Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.
Starting point is 01:05:27 And, you know, it's, it doesn't have a great rating like on, on Goodreads. And I read some of the, some of the negative reviews, a lot of which came in before he passed. Okay. And, I mean, they have valid criticisms. Like, it's kind of a stream of consciousness at times, you know, it kind of a bit. bounces around from timeline to tie. It's very nonlinear in the timeline of him telling the stories. So it's at times it's hard to follow like, okay, where, wait, where are we in? Like, have you, like, are you on friends yet? Or what's going on, you know, that kind of thing. So, you know, some of the criticisms that the book received are actually, they're valid.
Starting point is 01:06:13 But I think it's good to hear him tell his. story, his way, in his own words, and with his own voice. And yeah, it is hard to listen to because, I mean, he sounds like, he almost sounds like he'd had a stroke or something. Like he sounds like his face doesn't work properly. That's very slurry, yeah. Yeah. And like, I didn't know this, but a few years ago, he, he had a very, very close brush with
Starting point is 01:06:41 death a few years ago where his, he was in a rehab facility and his colon. exploded. Whoa. Yeah. That is something. Now you never want to hear those two words together. I know. I know, right?
Starting point is 01:06:56 And that's kind of the reason why I, you know, and I don't get really weepy about celebrity deaths very often, you know, because I, you know, I can be sad that that person is not going to be producing work anymore because they were very talented or whatever. But this one hit me very hard because friends. was, and I, you know, Friends has its pernicious aspects. It's a product of the 90s, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I recognize all those things. But the connections that I made with other people through that show, my sister and I used
Starting point is 01:07:34 to watch Friends, my stepmom and I used to watch Friends, my kids and I watch Friends, you know, I mean, there are, you know, everybody makes Joey jokes and stuff like that. Like, it is a, it's a, it's a touchstone. A frequently repeated, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so that's why it made me very sad to hear he had passed. And so I felt like I should read his book. But then when I got into it, I was like, oh, I feel like this is even more important to share because when we think about people who die, particularly celebrities who die, who have had very public struggles with substance abuse, you know, drinking and drugs and that kind of thing, we just kind of think about, oh, they spent their whole life high and, you know, oh, yeah, they, they battled with withdrawal here and there, wherever they tried to get clean, but then they just overdosed one day and that was
Starting point is 01:08:27 it. And that's not the case because being that, I mean, Matthew Perry started drinking when he was like 14 years old. Yeah, very young. So, yeah, he had, he had a really rough time. And basically he spent his entire life begging the world to love him, you know. And, uh, and, uh, So that takes a real actual physical toll on your body and your organs. And I mean, it was really physically bad. Like he had destroyed most of his body. And we don't think about stuff like that. The colon thing was because, you know, opioids, one of the things they do is constipate you.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Yeah, hardcore. That's one of the side effects of taking opioids is they make it. really hard to poop. And he says in his book, and I quote, I hadn't taken a shit in over a week. And he was like screaming in pain. And his, you know, assistant, not really his sponsor, but a sober companion kind of person who was there with him was trying to get them to let him go to the hospital. And the rehab people were stopping them from taking him to the hospital because they, you know, they were like, well, if he goes to the hospital, they're just going to give him drugs. And so, and ultimately, they, you know, they caught it in time.
Starting point is 01:09:56 He had a colostomy bag for several months, you know, because he had destroyed part of his intestines. So, you know, I think it's just important to think about, like, sometimes we think about addiction and substance abuse and things like that just as, oh, yeah, it affects your personal relationship. and it makes you an asshole and all those things are true but it also destroys your insides and it's it's a painful screaming horror it's not it's not a it's not a painless way to go and and it's not a way to dull your pain really
Starting point is 01:10:34 you're just you're procrastinating your pain for later and adding some more yeah and it's often still see this is the one difference too Wendy talked to me about this privately before but there's this moment of the big difference between you and someone else meaning an alcoholic and someone who's not
Starting point is 01:10:51 or a drug addicts and someone who's not is that even after all of that even if you blow your colon to pieces even after you've had all these internal issues your liver's barely hanging on your cognitive ability is affected all these things you'll still do it if someone gives you a drink
Starting point is 01:11:08 you'll still go down the room and that's so freaking sad like it's so And it's got such a grip. Man, just awful. Awful. I get that way with food sometimes. Like it's a tiny,
Starting point is 01:11:21 tiny version of this, but I get this way with food occasionally where if I'm depressed or frustrated or irritated, I will eat. And I know when I'm doing it. I'm like, you're asking for trouble. You're going to be up at three. Like, this is a huge mistake.
Starting point is 01:11:34 Why are you eating a whole pizza tonight? But I do it anyway, even though I know, right? It's not the same level, but, you know. Angry, frustrated, stressed out, happy, sleepy, dopey, sneezy, pretty much any. Well, it used to be opposite for me, right? I couldn't eat when I was stressed, but it all, something flipped. My metabolism at one point in my mid-40s went, what if it was the other way?
Starting point is 01:11:57 I went, oh, no, no, don't do this to me. It's the same problem. But anyway, yeah, like, it's only a taste of that. I cannot imagine what he and others like him feel like all the time. They must just feel like they know where a happy place is, but they can't go there. And then when they go there, that happiness is fleeting or that relief is fleeting. And even though they may be high as a kite for a minute, there's a part of their brain that goes, I'm going to be miserable after this. And I know I shouldn't be doing this, but here I am doing it.
Starting point is 01:12:28 Like, I can't imagine how hard that must be. And even in the moments of genuine happiness or, you know, that are not, you know, driven by the substances, you know, if you feel a genuine moment of joy, it gives you anxiety. because, or it can. I shouldn't say, I shouldn't use the word you because I have no idea. Thankfully, I don't, I don't really struggle with this. I did, I did have a problem with smoking back in my misguided youth back when I was a teenager and, uh, early 20s. I smoked. And so I understand from that perspective, um, how difficult it can be to like get rid of an addiction. And it's part of it is like just letting go of it being part of who you are. Yeah. you know um and but yeah like it's it's really hard like in those moments where someone can experience a moment of joy it induces anxiety because they know it's fleeting you know so you can't even you can't even enjoy the joyful moments because you know that it's going to be bad again. And it's a really, really awful way to live. And yeah, and it's and it's really sad.
Starting point is 01:13:48 And my, my heart breaks for all, you know, all of his friends and family. And, and it was, it was, it's very rough to watch someone you love go through that. And there's only so much that anyone can do to help somebody in that kind of situation. Right. Like there's, there's only so much you can do. And, yeah, it's, it's really hard. So, so I just wanted to pull that out. Like I say, it's not a, it's not funny. There are a couple moments where you kind of chuckle a little bit at, you know, stuff he says because he's Matthew Perry.
Starting point is 01:14:25 Right. But it's mostly just him sort of confessing his sins almost and, and just laying out his struggles bare for the world to see. And in that, in that, I think it, it deserves some attention, even though, you know, clearly not the best written biography I've ever read, you know, but it's, but it's important, I think. I think there was a lot of important stuff in there that sometimes gets glossed over when someone's struggling with addiction and that kind of thing. So close to the timing, too, that book came out. He went on all the talk show runs, did a, did some podcast. prominent podcast and stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:15:09 It feels like it was just like a week or two before. I know it was longer than that, but it felt like he just barely put that book out. Oh, wow. Oh, yeah, that's true. Because I remember when his book came out, I put it on my TVR list to do on this show for that, you know, exact that reason.
Starting point is 01:15:25 I was like, oh, this will be a fun one to do. Little did I know. Not that fun. It turns out not that fun at all. It wasn't fun, but it was timely and needed, I think. Well, let's swing our crane over to something made up. Go over to a picture. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:43 So this clip, I will say, is this actually, this recommendation doubles as a recommendal because it is a book that has now been made in series. I don't know why it started playing. Sorry, go ahead. Oh, that's okay. It's a book that's been made into a series, and the clip that I chose was from the trailer for the series. Oh, okay. Cool.
Starting point is 01:16:03 A little different. Let's do it. In life, discoveries usually lead to more questions. The only constant variable is the unexpected. We can't control it. It's only when you look backwards that you see how it was all connected. Let's begin, shall we? I would like to offer you a job as the host of our cooking show.
Starting point is 01:16:26 Are you concussed? No. Wow, I don't know what this is. It sounds like Captain Marvel. Is that Captain Marvel? It is indeed. Captain Marvel is Brie Larson. Yeah. So the book and the series are both called Lessons in Chemistry. And the book is written by Bonnie Garmus. And yeah, it's great. It takes place in the 1960s. And this woman who is a chemist and very, very no nonsense. She does not suffer fools well at all. And just.
Starting point is 01:17:04 very get down to business woman who has suffered some unfortunate incidences and trying to make it as a scientist. And then also along the way, she is discovered because cooking is basically chemistry, that she is an excellent cook. And she gets, through happenstance, offered a job as the star of an afternoon cooking show called Supper at Six. Oh, wow. I heard about this because the guy is the showrunner, Lee Eisenberg, so this is an Apple deal, right, I think.
Starting point is 01:17:41 Yeah, Apple TV Plus, yeah. And he executor produced that recent jury duty thing everyone loves so much. He executive produced Little America, Queer's Folk. We crashed. He was an office produced on the office for a long time. Like this guy has chops, and I was told, hey, anything he makes is good, I'll bet this will be awesome. And I didn't even know this is it. This is news to me, this whole subject.
Starting point is 01:18:04 That's cool. My stepmom is loving the show. We haven't started watching yet because we're waiting for all the episodes to be available. But looking forward to checking it out because I'm hearing good things. Yeah. We're really, really enjoying it. It hasn't all dropped yet, and much to our chagrin because we want more of it. There's an adorable dog in the show.
Starting point is 01:18:26 I heard one of the background of your call, by the way. I heard another adorable dog. Yeah, sorry about that. Oh, no. That's, I love it. Just whining and I'm like, funny. Wendy's birds, it's your dog. Yeah, why not?
Starting point is 01:18:38 Yep, always. So, yeah, this Beauregard. He's got to get, everyone must pay attention to him. So, yeah. It's his world. We're just living in it, right? That's how it works. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:18:50 That's exactly right. So, yeah, so it's a really good, it's a really good entertaining story. I'm really, really enjoying it. And I was, you know how sometimes you watch a series and you go, this feels like a book? Yeah. I don't know what, I can't quantify what that is for you, but sometimes you watch a thing and you're just like, this feels like it was a book. And then you go and you find out, yep, sure enough it was.
Starting point is 01:19:18 So I started reading it and I'm really, really enjoying it. And, you know, of course, a lot of the themes are based on, you know, you know, the sexism and whatnot, the discrimination that she faced in the 1960s. And we looked it up to see if it was a true story. It's not. It's completely fictional.
Starting point is 01:19:41 Oh, really? But it could have been, you know? I mean, this could have been a real thing. I am quite certain that there were a vast non-zero number of women scientists who have been well passed over because of, of the time that they were in, including our current time. But, uh, but, you know, it's fun. Um, it's fun, but also there are plenty of moments where you're like, oh, my God, that
Starting point is 01:20:13 happened. Uh, and I'll just, uh, I'll just leave it at that. All right. And I'm excited to see this. It's getting killer reviews, uh, everywhere. Everyone seems to love this. So Brie Larson, well done. I also like Lewis Pullman.
Starting point is 01:20:28 How's he in this? Is he good? He's the Calvin character? Let's see. Oh, Calvin. Yes. So I was watching it and it was killing me. I was sitting there staring at him and going, where do I know him from?
Starting point is 01:20:41 I know him. What do I know him from? Yeah. And then finally my daughter pulled open IMDB and he was Bob in Maverick. Yeah, Top Gun Maverick. Oh, really? Yes. That's who he is.
Starting point is 01:20:56 Lieutenant Robert Bob Floyd. That's right. He was a little, he was the weird. nerdy one that grew on you throughout the movie or whatever. Yeah. He was great. He's in that Outer Range show as well. He's just, I just really like that guy. He's just cool. Oh, I love outer range. I wish we'd get more of it. Oh, God, no kidding. Yeah. We're not going to get more of anything for a good while. For a while. Yeah. Unfortunately, he kind of looks like Tom Holland's older brother in a weird way. Yeah. Yeah. I can see that. Something about it. I can see that. His face.
Starting point is 01:21:28 Anyway, well, this sounds fantastic. A book and a show, everyone. It's like a movie, dinner and a movie here with our day with Amy. A book to a book in the show. Yeah, this is fantastic. Go check both of these things out. They'll be up on quicktm.li. They're already there.
Starting point is 01:21:44 And they're in the order that we talked about them. So you can check that out. Exactly. Amy, you got anything else going on? You want people to know about or do? Yeah. Oh, thanks for playing my request yesterday. Oh, you're welcome.
Starting point is 01:21:56 Yeah, absolutely. Thank you. Did she enjoy it? Did you play the song even though it has F-bombs in it? Yes. Yeah. Okay. Good. F-17. I know. She's heard of whatever. She's uttered those on a daily basis, I'm sure. Indeed. Yeah. So, and we love, we love pink. We listen to pink a lot. So it was,
Starting point is 01:22:13 it was really cool to hear a fun cover of that song. So yes, yes. Nice. That was awesome. And, yeah, just, uh, keep, keep thinking about me. I'm in between. I had to do my little test with the APAP machine, and I had to turn it back in yesterday. And so now I've gone from, it's like flowers for algernon, right? Like, I've gone from being able to breathe at night, now not being able to breathe. And oh, it sucks when they take that thing away. Like, so you did the, what, two week long sleep test with the machine at home and it just tracks it. Yeah. Yep, yep, exactly. Exactly. And it did, it worked a lot. Like the doctor said, looking at the data, he said,
Starting point is 01:22:56 Yeah, you know, you went from having about 17 to 20, you know, apnea events per hour to two. Oh, geez. That's good. So, yeah. So they're coming on Thursday to deliver me my permanent machine and get me set up with it and everything. So I just have to get through like, I just have to survive two more days now. And so I'll be able to breathe again. Just have Chuck put his mouth on your nose and constantly blowing in so that you can
Starting point is 01:23:26 you'll be just like the real thing. Oh, yeah. That wouldn't prevent me from sleeping at all. No, not at all. A nice garlicky visa garlic bread and spaghetti right before he does it, you'll be fine. Oh, yeah. I hope they prescribe you a good one. That's what I hope.
Starting point is 01:23:47 Something that'll take all that pressure off. I hope it's the Phillips Dream Station because that's what I have. I love it. Okay, I'm writing that down. I think I'm getting a resmed machine because that was like the one that they had there. But I'm going to write that down because, you know. I think it's the Phillips Dream Station. Let me see here.
Starting point is 01:24:08 It's sleek and black and it's fantastic. Boy, that won't get taken out of context. No. Not at all. The Dream Station 2, the Phillips Dream Station 2. That sounds nice. It sounds like you should play games on it or something. It does.
Starting point is 01:24:22 Yeah, exactly. You know what's weird? Is that available on the Dream Station? what's weird is the as Phillips does this with a lot of products they make kind of best in class stuff but no one ever talks about it that's like top of the line there they make a shaver that I would I'll never use anyone else's like trimmer it's the best trimmer on this planet and I don't know how that happens just Phillips over there making cool shit you know yeah Yamaha does that too it's really strange like they make like motorcycles and also pianos like I don't it's very and and they're never necessary related, right? Like, why pianos, cousin? I don't know. Hard to say.
Starting point is 01:25:02 Celestian G.C. says, don't use the Phillips. They've been recalling those like mad. No, the Dream Station, too, is what they replaced my recalled unit with. And it is fantastic. So the fixed filter, it's quiet. It's, um, uh, it adjust really beautifully. It's awesome. Second time is the charm.
Starting point is 01:25:21 Don't get an old Phillips. Yeah, because that's what they regained. Yeah, don't do that. And don't use a Phillips screwdriver. it'll just hurt your sinuses. Yeah, yeah, that'll hurt. Yeah. It might clear things out a little bit, but...
Starting point is 01:25:31 From the screwdriver, people, come CPAP machines. All right. I'm due for a waxing. Ooh, get in there. Get that done. Well, there is. And also your nose later on. Hey, thanks for being with us, Amy.
Starting point is 01:25:44 It's always good to talk to you. And good luck with all that, and we will see you soon. Bye now. Bye. She hung up quick. It wasn't me, even. She did. Just like, bam.
Starting point is 01:25:54 All right. we are moving on down the road toward this show being over. Before we officially end it, though, I would like to mention this text we got from Alex and Savannah, also in Georgia. A lot of Georgia today. A lot of Georgia. He talks about, we talk about
Starting point is 01:26:08 soccer and people call it football and all that. Sure. He says, TMS comment as a positive for watching soccer. Don't give me that football crap, he says. I'm sure that one upset anyone. That'd be fine. Don't give me that football. On TV.
Starting point is 01:26:24 the positive thing for watching soccer on TV is that it is continuous coverage with no commercial breaks until half times or games end. As an ADHD guy, I usually flip in commercial breaks and often forget to go back if something else grabs my attention.
Starting point is 01:26:41 Give you up the great shows, Alex. I didn't know they went like that without commercials. I didn't know that. It is great. Like sometimes the commercials are like picture and picture or that sort of thing. uh, no, it is, here's what I love about it. And I love watching soccer too. I'm even wearing my West Ham. Yeah, you are. Look at you. Representing. Nice. Yep. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:04 Wear this just to piss off, Claire. But, um, uh, no, the fact that, you know, ball gets kicked out of bounds, ball goes in the corner, uh, goalie has to pick up, throw it back in, any of those things. They don't stop the clock for anything. Like, maybe an injury, yes, but that's about it. And then at the very end of the half, they'll say, the judge has, uh, uh, decided to add in two minutes to the end of the period, so they'll throw in two more minutes. But it is bam, bam, bam, bam, nonstop. Not high scoring usually, but, you know, it's, uh, it's, uh, it's not stop. Whoever was, uh, whoever invented soccer was not a capitalist. They weren't thinking ahead
Starting point is 01:27:42 to the commercial opportunities. I don't want a game where they can put commercials and make money off of my game. That's right. I'm sure he sounded just like that. Just like that. That's exactly how he sounded. It was not, uh, four, at all it was uh he sounded like yosemite sam is who he sounded like yeah they sure did i'm gonna catch me land wabit that's right thank you alex from savannah that was very nice of you to write in about that um also a note of information here i can't remember if it's the ninth or eighth either tomorrow or i think it's thursday anyway gregg street and his brand new game studio he used to work at blizzard big deal at blizzard ran wow for a long time uh he went by

It's fantastic pixelcastle.com. The reason I'm bringing this up is on Thursday, I believe, they're doing a live stream AMA about the new studio and what they're planning. And let's just say, without giving it totally a way, because I'm not supposed to until that day, an important frog pants thing will drop in that event.

Starting point is 01:29:26 Big thanks to everybody for listening at home, live, or wherever you are, and especially our patrons at patreon.com slash TMS for being such wonderful, dedicated people. We love you. All right, that's going to do it for the show. Brian, we should do a song. Do you have a little thing to? You should. I forgot to give a shout out to Joe Acosta, someone who's contributed a lot of stuff to the show.
Starting point is 01:29:45 Back in the Babel Realde, a lot of the questions that I would get came from Joe Acosta. And I think we even did a one of those live, not live, but where we asked Joe questions and you guys had to predict the answers. Remember that? Like on something that he was a specialist in. That's right. That was a fun game. I need to maybe get back to do it. Yeah, it was a good time.
Starting point is 01:30:04 But had dinner with him last night. He was in town for, or he is in town for a dental conference. We met up. And let me tell you, a place called 5, 280 burger here in Denver. There's a few locations around here. I don't often do the food restaurant recommendations, but 5,280 burger, that's legit, good. And they have a burger there called the perfect hamburger, the perfect cheeseburger. That's what I had.
Starting point is 01:30:32 Grier mixed in with the meat and the bun, pickled red onions. I mean, this is, this was the bomb.com, man. It's awesome. 5280 burger. Look at this. Okay. So Austin, Colorado Mills, downtown Denver, Westminster, and that's it. So very limited access, but this looks amazing.
Starting point is 01:30:50 Holy smear, look at this food. Yeah, yeah. And the fries were so good. Like, it's rare you find a place that does fries. Like, if they make a killer burger, usually the fries are like, me, okay. The fries were on point, and I brought home the leftovers. I threw them in the air fryer this morning and made hash browns,
Starting point is 01:31:13 topped them with a couple fried eggs. and freaking... You're living your best life when you do that. That sounds great. I live in my best life, exactly. These are beautiful burgers. Holy Schmole. All right.
Starting point is 01:31:27 I don't look like their tacos look really good or empanadas. Oh my God. Fried pickles or friccles. I like frickels. I like frickels. I didn't realize those one at Colorado Mills. That scares me because I live right by Colorado Mills. Oh, Brian.
Starting point is 01:31:42 Oh, oh, that's trouble. That's big trouble. Yeah. All right. Sounds like an awesome place. Anyway, so big thanks to Joe Acosta for a lovely time. Brought me a couple bottles of whiskey. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:31:54 Some Woodford Reserve and... Fancy. Bulldog. It's like how to have some of that last night, too. That sounds fantastic. Okay, here we go. Let's get to the request. Let's do it.
Starting point is 01:32:04 This is going out to Anthony Gridley. Anthony sent this in this one in the last month. So a little bit late. High spit and burps. Geez. 28th of October is my birthday and my wedding anniversary. Oh. Happy birthday.
Starting point is 01:32:23 We did the old lady because they're married. They got to be, you know. Plus he's old. Yes, I got married on my birthday, so I would not forget my wedding anniversary. I've been a long time listener, first time requesting a song. I live in Australia, and I only listen to the podcast a few days later. I've listened to every episode, episode. That's how they say in Australia.
Starting point is 01:32:41 Since TMS started, I started listening to Scott during. Burning Crusade instance. Hey, me too. While growing up, Queen's greatest hits was the only tape in my car, which I would sing at the top of my lungs while driving, 1930, 1930, 1930, 1930, love the podcast, bro, Gridoo in Discord. Jeez.
Starting point is 01:33:02 All over the place. Did you get bitten by a red beck spider? You look a little peeked. Maybe you got bitten by a redback. There's that voice. That's the one. There's that voice. Can't not do it.
Starting point is 01:33:14 Love it. This is a, it's funny, I didn't even think about this when I started talking about this song, but so Tristan worked security at Meow Wolf here in Denver. Oh, that's right. I wanted to ask how that was going. I'm sure that's awesome, right? I'm having a great time a little bit. Oh, he's having a great time.
Starting point is 01:33:31 And basically, you know, he gets paid to gently usher tourists who've taken one too many edibles into a quiet space in Meow Wolf because they get overwhelmed. That's really like about the worst against. They maybe have a couple things. But he also just makes sure that people don't harass celebrities when they show up to walk through Miao Wolf, including Brian May and Roger Taylor of the band, Queen, who walked through yesterday. Tristan's like, guess who's here? I'm like, who? He's like, Brian May and Roger Taylor from Queen.
Starting point is 01:34:09 I'm like, shut off. Oh, my God. I want to go. stalk them through meow wolf yeah no kidding that's crazy so cool and he of course you know his job he can't take pictures or anything like that so he's got to he's got to behave but i really wanted to take a selfie or something sure all right well let's get to this um this is a cover of the song under pressure it just came out this year it did not it came out last year on an album called gloaming uh-huh feels like just this year uh by our friends scala and colloquia
Starting point is 01:34:41 You know that, that Swedish choir, I think they're Swedish, something, their skinnavian choir, or maybe, I'll just, I'll just generalize it, European choir of women that do amazing covers. You'd probably know them best from the social network trailer where they did creep, where they sang creep. Oh, I like that version. Yes. Well, you'll like this version of under pressure, ba-ba-ba-be, be-de-da-it-up, de-da-it-it-up. Here's Scowland-Claugny brothers. All right, here it is.
