stream hi I'm Wendy's founder Dave Thomas from the day I opened the first Wendy's my goal has been to serve the best hamburger in the business a Wendy's old-fashioned hamburger so I started with a fracious beef I could find, 100% pure beef, never frozen, and we paddied it in squares, so the hamburger hangs over the side of the bun. The liver and gizzard are prime suspects. Hello and welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Monday, November 13th, 2023. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Ibbett.

Hello. Good morning. It's time for the fracious, fracious TMS in the Binness. In the Binness, he says. You know, back when we played that thing in like 2011, I didn't remember hearing the Binness part. No, I know. There's a whole bunch of stuff in there.

Yeah, you get Fracist and old-fashioned was the thing that we focused on and forgot about all the other gems all around it. also using the term patty as a verb we padded it into squares oh i don't know if that's a verb either i don't think that's a verb i don't think you can say we paddied it geez mr hot and juicy there in your grave what were you thinking that's right wasn't he uh so ohio native do i have that right because i think there's an ohio thing going on with the accent like the bidness and the fray yeah somebody out there knows that you live out there confirm or deny Dave thomas his existence in your great state of Iowa.

Right. They say Iowa or Ohio. Born in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Oh, that's totally wrong. Died in Fort Lauderdale, so he just slowly made his way down the coast. But I wonder if he spent, like, lived most of his life in Ohio or something. Kalamazoo, Michigan. Michigan.

Maybe it's a Michigan. So where he spent most of his youth. And then at 12, they moved to Knoxville, Tennessee. Oh, my lord. And then 15, back moved with his dad. up at the hobby horse restaurant, a hobby house restaurant in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Okay. He's all over the place.

He's all over the place. He's just got a Midwest thing going, I guess. I think that's just the accent that comes from all of those places. No doubt the Atlantic City, New Jersey is where you got Bidness. Yeah. That sounds like, hey, you know, you can come to Casino, we'll take care of Bidness. Bidness. Bidness.

Very weird. Bindness. Well, anyway, we're glad to be here. We hope you're all well. A quick reminder that about an hour after the show ends tomorrow will be the first episode of Word on the Street with myself and Greg Street. Frogpants.tv. Which will take you to either Twitch or YouTube, wherever you prefer. Oh, you need to be doing it live.

Cool. Oh, yeah. Totally live streaming it. We'll have Vods and everything and the podcast, of course. And that reminded me to remind people that if you are interested in asking Greg questions about his new things, I think tomorrow's going to be just me and Greg. there'll be other team members on different episodes but we're going to talk about

the founding of the company kind of its founding principles what he wants to do some other early ideas we're going to take some questions we already have or use some questions we already have but if you want to send yours in

you can use our self-same frog pants hotline number 801-471-0462 leave a text or voicemail and we'll ask it on the air keep him short though I have one question for Greg Street and I'll have to get it

I'll send it in the appropriate ways, but it's a, what is this new MMO and what's it going to be called, and how much is it going to cost, and when can I have it? Oh, perfect. Those are the questions we're looking for, exactly. I'm sure he's ready to answer all of those things. Yeah, he wants to Nerf Paladins or something. Yeah, we're, and by the way, we will favor shorter, succinct questions over long, drawn-out ones. So just know that, everybody.

If you're sending something in, just, you know, keep it. keep it in the realm of short okay it's just a better chance of getting played or heard so there you go is your favorite fresh hamburger topping

he probably has he'd probably have an answer on that probably would yeah right now it's probably eggs because he's raising chickens in Texas oh really oh nice he moved down there from Orange County

bought a little you know a little place with a little bit of chicken zone there I could a chicken zone The chicken zone, and now goes out there, gets eggs in the morning, you know, checks on them. I think it's great. Perfect.

Anyway, that's tomorrow. Tomorrow at noon, mountain time here at frogpants. TV and, of course, the podcast afterwards, which you can find all that stuff for frogpans.com slash street or at fantastic pixelcastle.com, which is their company name. All right. More now than ever. I've come to a conclusion. Need to share this. Tesla, the neighbor, the Tesla neighbor, right?

Yeah. It has like five Teslas. they had a baby oh this is their third and just to give you some perspective on time here when we had our big neighbor battle with them because nick put a bag of poo on their driveway from their dog they kept pooping in our yard right uh that was 20 early 2016 and they only had one kid and it was a it was a baby then so this gives you enough you know we've had some time pass lives have changed three kids now started with one.

You've seen each other and talk to each other and stuff. Sure. Things have happened. It all really started to kick off when Kim and Nick went and saved them from their car getting stuck in the snow. That's right. Oh, these guys are nice. But now I have a theory that I cannot shake. And I'm not a positive, but I also don't know how to confirm this.

So yesterday, Kim goes, let's go over there and bring them a little baby gift and then see if they want dinner. I said, okay, that sounds great. Let's do it. So Kim and I walk over there. Nice and chilly and cold. Bing, bong, she comes to the door. and she says, oh, that's so nice, thank you. And we gave him the leftover Pokemon cards for her son, you know, all that.

And it turns out the two other kids and the husband, Tesla himself, are all in Disneyland so she could have time with the new baby to chill and not have two other kids running all over the place. Exactly. That's kind of, okay. It makes, I mean, it seems like everybody wins. It makes sense to get the other kids out of the house, but you'd think that, I don't know, the father should be there. I would think so. Personally, I think you kind of want to be there for the early bonding stuff, but what do I know? I don't know.

I just had the baby. You guys go have some fun in Disneyland. I'm going to take care of the day. Yeah. So they did that. They took off. She's there just with the kid. And we were finding us out as we're at the door.

And she's like, oh, that's so sweet. You guys are really nice. We'd love dinner. That's awesome. Whatever. So Kim's like, great. We're going to go back. We're making some kind of fetichini variant or something.

And so we go back to do it. And as we're going back, I say to her, I go, do you think they know we're the same people from that incident because there is a real feeling or a sense that so if you knew Kim in 2016 she had long dark hair

dark black hair I was about 20 pounds lighter and also had a lot more hair and it hadn't gone gray yet and in that very sort of brief amount of time you know all of those things have changed in fact in 2017 when we all shaved our heads for tina here at the house uh that kim never grew her hair full of backing in it's always right since then it's

been the mohawk short little little point still purple yeah uh no right now not but most of time yeah she likes to do a color so it's just been completely different from a yeah overall look standpoint but it's not like you guys haven't seen each other since 2016 no there's been times like i said when we helped him move the car up but that was in that was right before nick moved out so that had been 2019 okay so we didn't we didn't see them hardly at all during the pandemic yeah i saw him once at a neighborhood barbecue where he wanted to talk about podcasts oh right so we sat and did that and that was surreal because this guy you know was making threats suddenly he's not and it was fine it was all very lovely and everything but there's just i just get this feeling that they are not sure we're

the same people that used to live there. I could be dead wrong, but it feels like from like 2019 and on, they might be under the impression that somebody else came and helped them get the car out. Somebody else moved in there and checks on them sometimes or is friendly at Halloween or whatever it is. Well, you know, there might be something to that because there are houses on our street that I don't know if the people living there that I see and I wave to when they walk their dog and go by the house have been there for.

years or if they just moved in this last summer right like there are people now not directly across the street i know you know all the people basically in a two-house radius around our house like all the um the neighbors next door the neighbors next door of them across the street blah blah blah but um but you go four or five houses up the way like we we met one of our neighbors um on halloween because we went up there and wanted to see their whole setup, and they did a walk-through horror maze in their garage with a lot of special effects and lights and stuff like that. Sure. And, you know, we've seen their, like, it's the funniest thing, like, their dog, I know their dog has lived here for years, but the owners, it feels like it might have been the first time I've ever seen them, even though somebody has to walk the dog and let it poop in our yard. when it walks by right yeah so that's interesting so it's i guess it's possible

yeah that this is the case but it just and you know what the other thing is maybe it's just the way that they the way they talk to us they they have always have a look on their face like they're not sure sure but is it but is it just her because it was just her that you interacted with yesterday yeah it's just her and i barely ever see him so we don't have that many interactions with him but kim's talked to her here and there we had when she was very pregnant and was like a two weeks overdue or something and out walking around Kim was out there and says oh how's it going oh we're two weeks over and they had this whole conversation um but even Kim who has had these conversations said yeah they I don't know she says

I don't know if they do or not and it's not like last night they're like um and she goes and what's your name it's almost like she forgot talking two weeks ago when they were out on the street and Kim's like oh it's Kim and here's my phone number if you need anything thing if you know if anything comes up while your husband's out of town let us know and so she jotted our number down but i'm pretty sure they already had our number so it's all just a little there's just something dude i can't explain it can't explain it and they're being lovely they're being very nice and they're awesome and they got you know new teslas all the time it's you can hear him driving up in the back going sure that weird sound they make easily could be uh it could be

their way of saying you know all that all that weirdness that transpired with the dog poop we're going to put that behind us all and pretend we're going to pretend you're brand new people yeah maybe that's how they dealt they dealt with it could be they shoved us into the past forgot who we were on purpose and started anew that's entirely possible i don't know so when you so when you have dinner with them later on because i'm assuming is it dinner while uh the husband's still at Disneyland or are you going to wait for no so she made dinner last night and we rewrote oh and took it over last night yeah we took it over last night yeah okay because the uh um i was going to say you need to sit him down and say, hey, do you remember about four or five years

ago, middle of the night, you were outside, you yelled something and then got in your car and drove off? What was it? Can you remind me that expletive that you yelled in front of my house while you had a baby in the car and all that stuff? And then when I went outside, you were already driving away really fast, but I couldn't hear you because it's a Tesla. Do you remember this? Like, I have such burned in specific memories of it. That's funny. And I don't know if they do. They probably do, and this is just them kind of weirded out that we flipped it. That we turned it around, that everybody's getting along, and that we're making food for you. And, you know, that

part maybe has made them feel, I don't know, I don't know. We killed them with kindness, Brian. That's what happened. We killed them with kindness. You know what? If anyone can do it, it's, it's Kim and you, but mostly Kim. Mostly Kim. I just follow her in her wake. That's right. So anyway, it was weird, and I just thought I'd share it. I don't know. Maybe something... What's it? No, no, go ahead. Oh, we went to a birthday party for my niece, Madeline, Maddie. She's getting married next year. Love her fiancé and got to meet his parents.

She turned 30, and so it was like a big event, dinner. And before that, we went ax throwing, which the only other time I've been ax throwing is with you in Vegas. Yeah, that was part of the TMS Vegas, and that was a lot of fun. Off Fremont, right? Is that where we went? The Fremont line? Yeah, it was a place. the Neonopolis or something area.

I don't know if that place is still around, but I think... It's kind of tucked back behind that Denny's over there, like the... Yes, the Denny's with the Wedding Chapel. Yeah, it's weird. So weird. Anyway, yeah, that's fun. So did the axe throwing, and we're just having... We're laughing so hard.

We're having fun. You know, one of my other nieces was there, and she... Just because she's super girly girl, when she would throw it, she would twist her body and be like all weird when it was like kind of afraid that it was going to bounce back and hit her and stuff and I made the comment that um that she looked her final pose after she throws it she kind of looks like a hood ornament with like the you know mercury or something that's cool and uh so we're laughing and you know tears laughing so our tears are coming to my eyes etc well um uh i go up and i do the axe and you're supposed to be really careful like you

you know, when you pull the axe out of the target, you lift it straight up to kind of rock it out of its whole. You don't stand in front of it and pull it straight back into your face. You have to kind of, you know, wiggle it out of its... There's ways to do it, and there are ways not to do it. And you were doing it the way you're supposed to do it. I was doing it the way you were supposed to do it. And then, of course, when it's the next person's turn, you hold it by the blade, and you put the handle out towards them to grab it. And all of these things I was doing, I went up and I got a close to a bullseye, went up, pulled it out the right way, and then grabbed it.

And as I was grabbing it by the blade to turn it around, to hand it to the next person, the blade, like the corner of it, just to show you how sharp these things are, barely grazed the back of my left hand. And I'll show you, I mean, you can't really see much, but there's a slice. Yeah. More predominantly right here. Kind of like a cat scratch kind of. A little bit.

Kind of like a cat scratch, exactly. And I, you know, what's that? I said less fecal matter in the cut. Less fecal matter, sure, exactly. Less that thing is going to puff up and poison you. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, it just felt like it barely touched me. And so I handed it off to the next person and I'm just waiting.

We're still chatting and laughing with everybody. And then I look down and realize, oh, crap, my hand is bleeding out of those wounds. I'm like, really? Wow, that thing was so sharp. It was, I barely felt it. Like, it cut the skin super clean and, um, uh, and, and was enough to break the skin, but I barely even felt it because it was so sharp. So I'm like, oh, crap. And Tina's like, Tina gasps.

Like, no, it's fine. It's just a little bit of blood. It's totally fine. So I, I, you know, we're right by the bathroom. So I go in the bathroom. I'm going to go wash it off and everything. Sure. And, uh, uh, I wash it, clean.

some soap really good, get some paper towels, kind of dabbing it off. And because I'm laughing so hard, after I dry my hands, I'm using the paper towel to kind of dab the tears out of my eyes. I know where this is going. And this is when the manager comes in, Tina had said,

oh yeah, he cut himself, might need a band-aid. He comes into the bathroom just as I'm like, dabbing my eyes with a paper towel. I'm like, oh, no, no, that was laughing really hard. That's why I have tears. That's fun, man.

I don't need those sticking band-dains. I'm fine. Yeah, well, they were, you know, they worry because they, they probably have you sign a thing. You got to sign that. We did in Vegas. Yeah, I said the thing on the way in that, uh, like I even read it, but basically just saying, I won't serve them if I take off a pinky or whatever. It's like a video game, you just sign it and move on and play your game.

Exactly. It's like, come on, I want to start killing monsters. Yeah. So I, yeah, kind of made it look like I was sobbing my eyes out from getting a little tiny nick on my hand. But it was, oh my God, so much fun. And he, I can't remember if they did this at the place we went. I think we went to a place called the Axhole. It was the Axhole.

That's it. Yeah, yeah. In Vegas. And this guy, this guy is the number, or was the number one knife thrower in the country as part of the. knife throwing league rolled knife throwing league that's even i never heard of that that's a new there's a thing there's a thing for everything scott wow and so he brought over and says anybody want to learn how to throw knives i'm like yes i want to throw knives at the target i had such a blast throwing knives now it's harder than an axe because the axe um the weight of it you know

you have a couple specific places and you can be a few inches back a few inches forward and it'll have enough rotations to stick in the board with knives you have to be in like one specific spot and it's based on how hard you throw like what you know angle your wrist is at and stuff and so he would say all right move forward two inches and i'd move forward two inches and it's like shung right there perfect it would go in weird a knife right in um i had that was my favorite thing to throw was knives well now that yeah i was so that's interesting because there's a ton of rotations with a knife right? Or more. Yes. Yeah. More rotations than with an axe.

An X is like, and a knife is like, I guess if you do it enough, you probably get a feel for it and it just feels you know, you know what your wrist speed and your distance should be at any given time if you're really good at.

That guy could probably throw a knife from anywhere and hit the target the way you want to. No, oh no, he knows like, because it's going to be the same for him. He knows that there are going to be enough rotations. He knows the specific places he has to stand for the number of rotations. So like either here or a foot and four inches back for one more rotation or whatever.

You know, I'm a little surprised that the axe was sharp enough to cut you. I would have thought those were kept more dull because they don't need to be super sharp to embed themselves in that and that wood or that cork or whatever they're using, but I guess not. It would. Yeah, no, it's a sharp, sharp-ass, sharp-ass, sharp-ass blades is what they were. Well, if you're looking for Brian DNA, we know where to go. That's right. I'll put some little vial, and somebody can sell it to you on the streets of Austin. That's right.

Get that going. Like Madonna's Papsmere. We just watched a movie. Madonna's Papsmere. Yeah. It's the whole story. Don't come out of it. We'll talk about that before the news, possibly.

Yeah, maybe. We'll see. Well, anyway, let's get some, speaking of games, you know, kind of like axe throwing. Let's throw some trivia around by adding Randy to this call. Because Brian, done away as a thing and is stuck in an office trying to get something done for his dad at a doctor's office and it's taken forever so he's uh he's like man i can't do it today and we're like man it's okay we'll bring randy in so let's do it right now

joining us right now is pinch hitter randy jordan hi randy good morning morning stream i have a story so 48 hours ago i went to make biscuits and I had a can of pop biscuits in the fridge. And in my entire life, I've always known people who were, like, afraid of pop biscuits, right? Because they pop. When it pops. And I've always thought, oh, that's nonsense. That's nonsense.

You just pull the wrapper off and then you tap them on the side of the counter. If they're really, really explosive, like, maybe you have to, like, use a knife, right? Yeah. Yeah. But, like, it's not a big deal. So I go, and as I start pulling the paper off the outside of the pop biscuits, this thing explodes and rockets into my body. And right now, 48 hours later, I have a circular bruise that you could see on my stomach. Really? Yes.

From the recoil of the bottom of the Pillsbury can? Yes. It is, I would never believe this if it had not happened to me. Like, you could, it's just unbelievable. And it hit me so hard. I screamed. I was mad. It was like getting shot by a beanbag bullet or something.

What's your, what's your go-to brand? Do you do the Pillsbury? Or is there another brand you like? Pillsbury, yeah. It's kind of the standard. Some kind of grants, Grans flicky layers or something. Sure. I have audio of you getting hit. Here it is.

Just kidding, not really. That's pretty much what I sounded like. It was so painful. And I'm telling you, a perfect circle bruise. I just, it's like, I didn't know this was possible. And now I believe, I understand. Everyone out there who's afraid of those damn cans, I understand. I will never look at it the same.

Yeah, it'll never be the same. well good well I'm glad you're first of all okay and it's only a bruise second of all that you're here pinch hitting and you do even your name sounds like a baseball pinch hitter Randy Jordan stepping up to take a shot for the A's or whatever I don't know sure sure anyway Brian Ibit over here has all the rules and all the thing regulations I guess so Brian explain those to people please please fill out this NDA form welcome to the morning half ass is a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving the two of you the answer I'm going to give Scott and Randy a category and six possible Anders, three of which are correct and three of which are, like my tears, false. Depending on how confident you are with the category, you can provide one, two, or three guesses. But if you get any of those guesses wrong,

you get zero points for that round. Get one right, gets you a point, get two right, gets you three points, and get all three correct, you get five points for that round. Player with the most points after three rounds wins the prize for their contestant. Who are these contestants you may ask? Well, I will tell you.

Scott, you're playing for Juan Toro. from Boca Raton, Florida. Okay. Feels like I could retire there. That's kind of tuna you can get at the sushi place. Randy, you're playing for Michael Zwurt from Amsterdam. Nice. All right.

Let's go. Legalized hookers and sweet weed. That's California, too. So don't be too. And Nevada. Yeah. There's a few places you can get that stuff now. I love it when you name a place and Scott just says whatever he happens to know about it.

Yeah. That's the way, man. That's how I do. Exactly. All right, let's get to it. Get your first question here. And let's, you know, where we're talking about geography here. Let's go to geography, specifically currency.

Tell me which of these six items, which three of these six items are actual currencies of Africa. Your choices are the quokuo, the bagu, the bur, the Moto, the Sedi, and the Kwanza. Which three of those are? are actually currencies of Africa. They all look like they could be. Damn. I have no idea. This is hard.

I'm going to go at two and hope for the best. If I did three, I would feel like I over did it. I know. Why? It's tricky. Yeah. I feel so okay. I also went with two.

Oh, I've screwed up so bad. Maybe. Well, we'll see. We'll see. Neither of you picked the same ones, by the way. Oh, nice. You guys both, between the two of you, Scott, you chose Burr and Motto. Hello, Motto.

Randy, you chose Bagu and Sedi. You each chose one correct and one incorrect. Damn it. The actual answer is Kwanza is actually currency of Angola. Oh, I didn't know. So when you celebrate Kwanza in Kwanza, no, sorry. You celebrate Kwanza with Kwanza. Right? That's right. You're going to buy some Kwanza decorations for Kwanza.

Setti and Burr were the other two correct choices. SETI comes from Ghana. Burr comes from Ethiopia. Oh, nice. None of these are dong like in Vietnam. I like the dong. I know it's Rand in South Africa because I was working for a company that got purchased by a South African company. And then they all came and met us and my name is Randy. And they were like, oh, Rand, that's right? It's short for Krugrand, right? is it sure i have no idea i don't know i don't know i don't know somebody might be able to help me

with that one let's get to the next question shall we all right all right let's let's go a little closer to home which of these six are colognes for men uh your choices are quip dinosaur zipped cigar lucky you and showdown oh my lord these are actual clones for men i hate these Cigar? They all sound dumb, don't they? Yeah. How can it be a cigar?

The problem is when you feel really strongly, like you know one of them for sure. And that's the one that's been made up. That's why you feel like you know it's for sure. Yeah. Right. He's all sound bad. Yeah.

I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to put any of these on me. And I'm sure they're expensive and I'm sure that people love them. And you should have gotten the wrong three from Anchorman, by the way. Right, yes, exactly. I still haven't seen that movie. Oh, wow, really? Yeah, neither of them.

You're pretty at the end of the time. It works all the time. I don't know why. All right, you guys are both locked in. You both said, lucky you. And lucky you is a Liz Claiborne Cologne for Men. Very good. Zipped also is a cologne that's made by Performers Workshop for some reason.

Dinosaur is just a dinosaur. Ah, shit. so the answers were cigar lucky you and zipped cigar is made by the remuleture company and why would you want to smell like a cigar i don't i'm not is it's probably a gag name though right like that's not probably not gag i'm guessing it's like this the mystique of cigar smoking in your den you're a man with a you know it's that yeah right i want you to know you almost got me with showdown and i wonder if that's probably that thought that's probably that's probably you're close. I almost chose that. Yeah, I almost chose that. Yeah, like right from the, from the makers of Stetson showdown. I almost chose cigar because it sounded so impossible. And now I'm mad that I didn't. Yeah. For years and years, I wore Tommy Bahama and their signature cologne is so great. And you just can't find it anymore. Like they, you know, that's a company. They quit making it or what? What happened to them? I didn't, I think they still make it. But I can't, you know, like, there are Tommy Bahama stores around anymore. And like, I don't know where to get it. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah, Remy Latour's Cigar for Men, 1996, introduced in 1986, a blend of sandalwood and patchouly. Oh, sounds all right. Yeah, that's actually, no, that's actually not bad.

Except for the patchouly. I get enough of that at Red Rocks. I don't need to smell any more, patchouly anymore. Yeah, patchouly is probably, yeah, that's a good point. It depends on how strong it is, but that sounds okay. I think I could work out. Yeah. When I was younger, it would occur to me that women really decided what men's colognes.

Yes. So, like, yeah, I would be, you know, like, hanging out with some friends and the one I was most attracted to would say, you know, I love Burberry Britt. And then the next thing I know I'm wearing Burberry Brit. Yep. Yep. Remember when Polo was like you basically, if you did not own Polo Cologne, you were, you were hot garbage. For us, it was Dracar Noir. Oh, it wasn't really. Okay. So Polo was a Colorado thing. Oh, yeah. We were that in high school, people had it by the gallons, man. It was the thing. I avoided it because I thought. It was way too cool, and I was being rebellious and thought it was cool not to like it. But everybody wore it except me and my nerd friends. Oh, funny. Because we were hipsters.

Wow. Yeah. Stood out. Sto, your natural scent. That's right. All right. We're going into question number three. Randy's got three points.

Scott needs some catching up. So here's your chance to catch up. Languages on the Rosetta Stone, not the software. That's easy. You can figure out what software languages you've. can find with Rosetta Stone. No, the actual physical Rosetta Stone, which I think is sitting in the National Museum of

London, if I remember correctly. I've seen it. Your choices are Egyptian Demotic or Demotic, Demotic, Ancient Greek, Linear A, hieroglyphics, Aramaic, and Sanskrit. Our languages you will actually find on Scott Locks so fast, wait a minute.

I'm going with three. Oh, I'm screwed. I'm going with three that I feel confident about. I'm probably wrong, but I'm, you know, I'm going to give it all. I'm giving it all. You had to, right. You know, you kind of had to go big or go home. That's right.

That's right. I don't want to go home. I don't know. I can see him making his choices as, uh... I don't know. You get to see when stuff gets clicked, unclicked, clicked again, that kind of thing, right? I do. I do.

I get to see the light. I think this may be the first time ever that between the two players, All six answers were chosen, which means... What? Yeah. So, like, all, like, every single answer on the board has an option. Obviously, it doesn't mean one person's all right or one person's all wrong, because that easily could be, you know, half of one, half of the other.

That'd be a shame. Scott, you went with linear A, Aramaic, and Sanskrit. I don't even know what linear A is. Randy, you went with the Egyptian, demotic, ancient Greek, and hieroglyphics. We have a winner. Andy DeLis chose the three correct ones. Scott chose the three incorrect ones. I swear we aren't collaborating.

I swear. That's insane. Did you know this or was this a guess? What did you do? So I was made to study it in high school. Like we had, there was a poster of the Rosetta Stone in my sophomore high school English class. Yeah.

And so like I knew really, really well when you first put this up that Aramaic was not the thing because like aramaic is like the main thing for the main language for the bible or whatever anyway but like it's just the rest was just guesses yeah that's amazing well done holy cow yeah nicely done i've uh you know obviously we've seen the real rosetta stone but i could not describe to you i just remember it was black and it had a bunch of like little little um uh carved out things on it and i'm trying to figure out like how do you have a bunch of languages on there is it like all right here's a and here's how you do a in ancient Greek and Egyptian demonic

and here's the hieroglyphic for things that A can stand for It must be, right? I'm still blown away that even exists. What I remember about it is that it goes from a much larger size font, let's that's not the word, but a much larger

script to a really tiny one at the bottom. Yes, okay, you do remember that. It looks to me like somebody was late writing their essay. They didn't leave enough time or enough writing. for the whole thing. Oh, yeah, I'm looking at a picture of it right now. Like that whole top section, the big font, as you say.

Yeah, I wonder, that might be hieroglyphics, and then the next chunk is like much, much smaller. I mean, this is before you could go to CVS and pick up a pair of readers like I'm wearing on your first. That's true for a couple of bucks. Those are, who did, what they do back then, only the really well-sighted people could use the Rosetta Stone. That's right. Exactly, yeah. like six point type uh well awesome uh well done randy you've won for that dude oh wait i should play you a thing congratulations you're a winner this is for me though uh who gets the prizes brian yeah michael's ward you are getting a copy of bendy and the dark revival and pathologic

too i know nothing about either of those games but by golly they sound fun yeah they sound great um but uh uh uh juan torro i feel like you might be the real winner here. You're getting a copy of Alan Wake's Collector's Edition. Oh, yeah. So nobody leaves empty-handed. You guys both get pretty darn good games for basically what, typing your name in a form. Yeah. Google form. You did nothing. Really worked hard for it. No work at all. Piece of cake. It's the easiest thing you've ever done. Congratulations. Yeah. Well, lazy mother. Speaking of, uh, yeah. Speaking of Egyptian writing, uh, either of you play Immortals, Phoenix.

Rising? Yes. Love that game. It is so inexpensive on Epic right now. I don't know why I'm advertising. People should grab it. If you don't already own that game. I bought it in two places as how much I like, because I like the cross save they did.

But that game deserves a follow-up. I could not be more pissed at Ubisoft for canceling it because they're not going to do it now. Oh, no, really? Yeah, they canceled the sequel they were making. And it pisses me the hell off because that game is rad. And let me tell you the main reason it's rad. It's like, what if you took the best things about Breath of the Wild but didn't break the weapons all the time? Right.

It was great. And it was actually funny, like the stuff between Zeus and what's his name that would narrate through the game as you ran around? Oh, yeah. A sarcophiles or whatever's name was. Something, yeah, yeah. So good. And that's hard. Good puzzles.

Good fighting. Like the bosses were. were tricky to battle and stuff. Yeah, that's the last game that I finished, actually. The last game I played Star. Oh, no, I take that back. Breath of the Wild. No, I never beat the final boss on Breath of the Wild.

You beat Tears of the Kingdom, though, didn't you? I'm sorry, Tears of the Kingdom. No, I didn't beat the final boss of Tears in the Kingdom. I beat all of the bosses that lead to the last boss, but then Spider-Man came out that week, and I said, bye-bye, bye-bye, Link. That's what happens. Well, all right, Randy, you've been a fine.

stand in today. You've done a great work here and it's nice to have you in the wings when needed. Do you want to say anything to the people of them? Have a really great week. Don't shoot yourself with biscuits and I'll see you on Wednesday. Bye now. See you later. Ringbelly. We're going to call them old ringbelly Randy. Old ring belly. Ring belly Randy. All right. Well done everyone. That was awesome.

Let's do some quick news. It's time for the news brought to you by FilmSack, where we just took a look at 1989's Slacker, the first real movie from Richard Linklater. How's it hold up? Well, tune in and find out and maybe get a free Madonna Papsmear in the process.

Go to FilmSack.com or wherever you get your podcast. You think we're making up that Papsmere thing? It's in the movie. It's featured. We didn't make it up. We're not being sexist. We're not being weird and gross. It's just in there.

Even a lady says it. The drummer for the butthole surfers says it. That's right. He tries to sell it. Yeah. She thinks you might be interested. It's weird. That movie had a great concept and had a great concept.

It did. It was about an hour and a half too long. Yeah. But it had moments. I appreciate it for what it did and what it was and when it was. Yeah, I really liked the guy with the conspiracy theory guy. Oh, wait. That was two thirds of the movie.

That was everyone. Yeah. No, the one in the bookstore, I'm serious. Put him on a list. Keep your eye on that guy. I don't trust that guy. That's a guy that has to introduce himself to the neighbors every time he moves. Of course.

Let's move on to this story here. We're going to tell the story of DC Firefighter has been fired. They fired a DC firefighter in D.C. Oh, no. After stopping for a chick-fil-A while on an emergency call. We're getting a lot of these lately. What kind of Pokemon is a chick-fil-in? it does sound like one

if we weren't used to that name we would it would easily be a Pokemon name it totally easily could be right yeah oh I got a shiny chick fillet what do you think they what do they evolve into a Popeye evolve into a canes a canes yeah oh I got a raising cane

a raising cane oh it evolved into a raising canes actually that would be the top level that Popeyes would be the middle level so it evolved first into a Popeye's and then into a raising canes at the end although of those three I still prefer the basic chicken sandwich. I prefer Popeyes of all of them. Yeah, I do too.

Both have other things that I would prefer over other Popeye's things. But that one item, I think Popeyes has an amazing chicken sandwich. Oh, boy, they over by us, they are building a Chick-fil-A over on Youngfield. And they're putting it, it's in the parking lot, basically, or in this shopping center that also has a hobby lobby right behind it. So if you're looking for a place to avoid gay people, make sure to go to the parking lot that has both a hobby lobby and a chick flay in it. You can get your chicken and you can get your crafts and no gays. And no gays. Yeah, no gays at all.

Although I still love that our local chick flay over here hired on purpose, the franchise owners hired like two or three gay kids to work there. Not on pert, not like, oh, we've got to hurry up and hire some gay kids. I'm sorry, you're not gay. We're only looking for gay kids right now. Yeah, because they were just like, they were feeling rebellious and wanted to stick it to corporate. D.C. Firefighter is in trouble. He was with his partner. They stopped for fast food while on an emergency call in March.

He has been terminated from his job, not from life. He wasn't killed. He can't say terminated, you know, without. Sir Connor's son? No, he was just, yeah. he's uh he's more like i forgot his name who'd shan b or uh michael bean play what was his character reese oh reese yeah two firefighters emts uh assigned to an ambulance ambulance number three they stopped for this thing in northeast dc at around 4 p.m on march 24th instead of responding

to a call for a woman suffering chest pain at a kaiser permanente about a mile away and we don't have kaiser permanente here because we're all iHC here but that's like a they have clinics and it's that kind of thing right yeah yeah yeah And if she's, I mean, you know, in defense of the firefighter, if she's already at a Kaiser Permanente, what do they need firefighters for? What do they need EMTs for? That's probably what they thought. She's at a hospital. Yeah.

She's at the place that the EMTs usually take them. My guess is it was like a clinic style where they didn't have all the stuff. Yeah, that's true. Because they, right, some of them just have, have like a little urgent care clinic and no other really real big facilities. But I could see that firefighter going, ah, it's a Kaiser Permanente. We got time. I don't know. I mean, I'm not saying you're right.

I'm really not defending him, but yeah, I don't think, I think you can wait for lunch. You've taken this job, and it's, you've taken this job with the knowledge that it supersedes anything else. Hunger, having to pee, having a poop, it's tired, any of that stuff. You do that first, and then you can do all your other things, but. Well, he is now officially no longer, this is the official word, quote, no longer with the department, unquote. Well, he's got time for all the chicken. and biscuits you want. Yeah, everything you want, it's all yours there, buddy.

Yeah. Ape Fest happened. Have you heard of Ape Fest, Brian? No, I have not heard of Ape Fest. Well, I wish it was like people who studied primates or something like that. You know, you get what's her name Fossi to come and do a keynote speech. Sure. Is it Diane Fossi?

Diane Fossi, yes. You get Sigourney Weaver talking about her movie gorillas in the mist, you know, whatever. That's right. That's not what this is. This is people who bought those stupid Bored Ape NFTs. Oh, geez. Really? So they figured out a way to make more money from those people. Oh my gosh, dude. It's such a scam. ApeFest attendees report vision problems and extreme pain after the event.

And here's why. Attendees of Yuga Labs ApeFest, which happened on November 4th in Hong Kong. That's where it was held this year. I guess there have been multiples of these. have reported burns, damage, vision, and extreme pain in their eyeballs, which they attribute to the use of improper lighting. Somebody on Twitter posted, for example, woke up in the middle of the night after eight feths with such pain in my eyes that I had to go to the hospital, wrote one attendee, Crypto June. Oh.

Yeah, crypto June. Crypto June. Yeah. I mean, I'm trying, look, I want to feel bad for, eyes are precious. We need them. Of course, yes. I mean, we feel bad for the people in their eyes, but we don't feel the, we don't feel bad for the fact that they're bored A, NFTs are not going to be worth the paper they're not printed on in five years. Yeah, I don't care all about that.

A doctor told this person, quote, it was due to UV from the stage lights. I go to festivals often, but I've never experienced this. It says one attendee, no to one. Many of those reporting eye problems were up in the up close area near this lighting display near the event's main stage. neither ape fest guest who goes by the name or the pseudonym field on X oh feld on X

it screws me up when they say X they mean Twitter I know me too yeah described identical symptoms quote anyone else eyes burning from last night woke up at 3 a.m. with extreme pain and ended up in the ER in Hong Kong where you don't know English

or you don't know Mandarin or whatever Oh yeah no kidding oh god yeah it'd be the worst so yeah you know like when I have I have a UV curing light for my 3D prints, right? So after they come out, wash them off in an alcohol bath, take them out, let them dry, and then put them in the UV, a little UV turntable that cures them the rest of the way.

Yeah. And that's got a shield that goes over it, that this thing won't run unless that shield is on there. So obviously, you know, UV, not a thing that you want burning in your eyes at any level. And the fact they had this on stage and had some pointed at the audience, dumb asses. Yeah, dumb. Just so dumb. Why were they think... I mean, there are other ways to do

colorful, interesting lighting. Sure. Don't UV light. I mean, the whole reason people have to wear sunglasses in the sun and, like, also put on sunscreen and shit and not die. What are you doing? UV protection. Exactly.

Yeah. These eight people. They don't know what they're doing. I would trust an ape more than I would. These people. Then someone who buys a board ape NFT. Yeah. For sure.

Or goes to ape fest. Good Lord. Yeah. Scientists have created. a chimeric monkey with two sets of DNA. They found one set in the jungle and they found the other set

in an axe-throwing place in California. Recently, just like yesterday. Yeah, it's crazy. So he's half a bit. Scientists based in China have created a monkey chimera. Didn't I say Colorado? I thought I said Colorado. Did I not? Yeah, he said California.

Oh, shit. Wait, what? Yeah, I got my C states mixed up. They created a monkey chimera with two sets of DNA experimental work that they say could ultimately benefit medical research and the conservation of endangered species. The monkey, which lived for 10 days before being euthanized. Why? Let him live. Why'd you kill them away?

I don't know. Maybe there was a reason. Maybe there was some pain it was going through or something because of its mixed genetics. He was a very bored ape, and they wanted to do that. It was a bored ape. It was made by combining stem cells from a synomogulus monkey. Sino-synomulgus. Nice of a tree is that.

Also known as a crab-eating or long-tailed macau. Macau. Macoc. Come on now. I wanted to make that right. Right away. You wanted to try to pronounce it. Macac.

Yeah. Listen. Would you get these words that could be said? And like this, you've got to take advantage of every opportunity. Yeah, it should just say it. Let's see. A primate used in biomedical research, which genetically distinct embryo from the same monkey species in the world's first live birth of a primate chimera created with two stem cells or with stem cells.

It's a proof of concept. It was a steady thing. I still think you ought to let the monkey live. If he was okay. I mean, exactly. There had to be a reason that it, that they euthanized it. Because otherwise, I mean, obviously, they'd want to keep it live to study. it and see how it develops and stuff like that so there must have been a reason must be they don't

say in here though anyone out there in that business you had to euthanize brundlefly so they'll have to euthanize the monkey that's true poor brundlefly help me that's from the first movie um all right we're going to now take a break when we come back from this break we'll get a actual person who really is into science okay cool he's not a science So much as he has a science enthusiast, but... He's more of a scienceist. Scienceist. There you go. He's a scientist.

Yeah. Then you could hear that and mis-haired almost and think you might be a scientist and it's still... Right, exactly, yes. I like that. Anyway, he's coming up after this break. We're going to do a little song. Brian, do the song. What's the song?

Yeah, this one came to us from Hey, Clown Baby. You got a couple requests that were India in the Middles this week. So this is the first of them. Hey, Clown Baby says, hello, you two beautiful bastards. an Indian the middle request. I went to college with the lead singer and founder of The Faye, Zach, in Lincoln, Nebraska. It was always a great time going to his live shows, and I figured I'd give him some love by promoting his music. The song was recorded in L.A., but he does most of his work in Omaha.

I already messaged him, and he gave me permission to play his music. He actually even picked this song, Wolf of the Wild, to be played on the show. Love the show, though. Hey, Clown Baby. Nice. This is great. This is the Faye. from the

2021 album Palm Tree Shade if you like this make sure to check out more of their music the F-E-Y the F-E-Y

the Fae and Wolf of the Wild Comey up La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-ha Yeah La-na-ha-ha

Ha-ha Oh I'm the one they hunt after Let the Moto Jackets Wacker Young and wild Gripping down something good These is all of the lover's praise

The scent of California Cation Now what you say we rumble through these wolves No I don't toy with Mother Nature I bowed my head And let her play They say the Reaper comes out hunting and I ain't hard to find propane and women money on my mind I'm the woman of a wild baby na na na na na na na no town baby

ain't no selling to my skies send another over my mouth I can't be sober now Now, see they gonna try to run me out this town. Ooh, I can hear the tie speaking to the moon. Ooh, ah, ooh. Baby don't cry, I'll be home soon. Lava, lava, ooh, uh, left with trail of tears for ya. I'll pray my son don't try and catch you.

Lord knows I away my doom. Don't know. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Oh.

Yeah. Oh. Yeah. . Come hunting And I ain't hard to find Propane and women Money on my mind

I'm the wolf of the wild Baby Na na na la la tauntown Baby Na na na na na na yeah There ain't no selling to my skies Yeah yeah yeah yeah There ain't no ceiling to my skies

Nah-da-la-la without talking so much. You never saw such a sick bunch of men in your life. And we're back. Hey, who was that one more time? That's the Faye and a song called Wolf of the Wild from their album, Palm Tree Shade. Excellent. Ain't it though?

Ain't it? That's the best shade, dude. it is palm tree shade because you you know if you're some place that's got palm trees you're already winning and then you're in the shade double double win my buddy darren is in uh well i guess he's on a boat he's on a cruise but he i think he's gonna get out in like mexican places with palm trees i wish i was him right now that'd be nice too it's getting cold here uh not as cold as it is in the hearts of southerners every now i'm making all that up let's just play his intro here it is science Bob is hungry and the soup looks good. That Bob in question is Bobby Frankenberger. The best burger in the tri-state area or something to that effect. Bobby, it's nice to see you.

How the heck are you? What's going on over there? Does every state have a tri-state area and how do is it? No. I bet Hawaii doesn't have a tri-state area. I know that New Mexico, New Mexico. Arizona and is Utah part of that?

I'm not sure, but there's some place out here where you can stand right where they all meet. And it's like a little corner thing and they have like a whole It's not like a state. Well, you're talking about four corners, right? Yeah, four corners. That's what I'm thinking of. Yeah. That's sort of well, that'd be quad state. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, exactly. No, like some states have like

Indiana, Ohio. There's like some tri-state they're the main tri-state right are they is that is that uh i think two of the three what would be the other one oh i don't know oh i don't know this maybe they should just always say like if there's three just table for every third three states so me and brian and and uh up in let's say i don't know montana that's there's our tri-state that's the tri-state area all right so we've got i've got a list there are a lot of tri-state areas so the new york tri-state areas so the new york tri-state state area is New York, New Jersey, Connecticut.

That's the one or one thinks about. Yeah. The Philadelphia tri-stayed area, which is Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Pittsburgh tri-state area, which is kind of the same, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia. Erie, the minisink, the Berkshires, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. So Pennsylvania belongs to multiple tri-state areas? It does, yeah. Wow. The New York tri-state area and the Philadelphia tri-state area.

Wow, that's cool. They love their tri-stateness. Yeah. Chicago tri-state area, which is Indiana, Wisconsin. Wisconsin and Illinois. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of these tri-staderias. So I guess it's basically where you've got states where there's a city.

Well, I mean, there, again, aside from Alaska and Hawaii, every state touches more than one other state, right? Right, right. So it's basically where you've got three states that connect, and there's a fairly major city nearby, and then you call it a tri-state area. That must be it. The reason, I also think there's a reason they don't do it out here in the West is because we're sprawled too much. It's not easy to say there's an area. You know what I mean? Like even that four corners thing is kind of out in the middle of nowhere.

Oh, Maine doesn't touch more than one state. No, it just touches New Hampshire. Just touches New Hampshire, right. Inappropriately, though, in a way that. Can you show me on the map where New Hampshire touched you? Yeah, exactly. Well, anyway, Bobby, that's not what we're here. to talk about today. We're going to talk about some science stuff. Before we get to what you brought, though,

can I play you a thing that I thought was interesting? Are you down with that? Of course you can. All right. So this is just some audio. It's your show. This is some audio about how this is now what scientists believe, according to the Sandia National Laboratories. They believe that this is what T-Rex's sound like now. All right. Great. So just for comparison, I'm meant to bring this up. Let me do it real quick. Let's play the Jurassic Park. T-Rex roar. Oh, that music's good. Even you doing that makes me excited. Oh, yeah. So here is the, here is the

sex, or this is the biggest roar from the T-Rex. Okay. All right, that's what we were told. We've thought for years, this is the sound. That's what we're going to have, and that's what we think. And even that, at the time, I remember Spielberg saying in an interview,

they were trying to approximate stuff based on current knowledge of vocal cord stuff and things that we knew then. Did he really say that? Because I remember watching a documentary where they were just like, well, we took an elephant and we mixed it with a with a lion and... Well, maybe they lied to him because he was told that he said this in some DVD thing or something. Well, maybe they were trying to approximate it by using other animals. Right, right, right. Exactly. So you get there however you get there. But now, this is what they think. And I have now lost all respect for T-Rexes. Here's what they think they sound like now.

Not that part. Oh, hold on. Is it laughing? I think there's like a big thing. Hold on. I think that T-Rex wants to merge. Better let it in. Do you know how there's birds that do like weird go-g-g-g-g-gag-gag-gag-gag-gag-gag-g-g.

Like that, there's stuff moving. They think that's what's going on with the T-Rex now. And there's a whole bunch more info about it. But it's really hard to, that reminds me that burping guy we had all those years ago, Brian. Yes, that's what it sounds like. that guy. Don't worry, Jeannie. We won't play the file.

But anyway, I just thought that was interesting. We'd share that. That's great. So, feathers. Now they got feathers. Now they got this voice. Yeah, I think the way they do that is they get like as complete a skull as they can. And then they try to figure out how it resonates and they blow air through things.

Yeah. Stuff like that. It makes sense, right? Like, that they would have, we should be able to approximate that stuff better now than ever. And so I'll take their word for it, but I'm not going to be scared by that. I'm just going to hear that and go, dude. No, it just sounds like my sister-in-law when she blows her nose. Wow. It's just really... I have an image of your sister-in-law that I will know long, that I will try not to share with anyone now that you've said it. Bobby, what did you bring to the science table today? What are we doing? Well, I have a quick thing to start with, and then I want to get into another thing. We'll see how long we have for the second thing. But the first thing, it was I just noticed in Discord somebody tag me i can't remember who it was i think it was andy w five five you know who that is yeah um anyway asked uh saw a article about a black hole that was expelled from a galaxy and was flying through the universe at like breakneck speeds and was like asked what is this about but we covered it on

our show all around science a little while ago and it was um it's a pretty interesting story just real fast it was uh hubbell found a supermassive black hole that was not in a galaxy at all. It was just a rogue supermassive black hole. And for context, supermassive black holes are usually those black holes that they know now are at the center of almost every galaxy. So it's weird to find it by itself. But not only did they find it by itself, but it was it was going through the flying through the universe super fast, fast enough to go from the moon to the earth in 14 minutes. It's 5.6 million kilometers per hour. Oh my gosh. and that's that's really really fast in fact it was they saw it because they were able to see that it was it was creating um like compression waves in gas that it was going through so it was just really fast going through stuff and um but the way they noticed it at first was all this image they saw a trail of what were stars flying behind there's like this weird line this weird trail of stars falling behind it doesn't seem cataclysmic at all like it's a bad thing you know like man that sounds like if you're going to start if this thing's got enough gravitational pull and velocity to yank a bunch of stars with it well here's the really

interesting thing about it is because that's your first thought right is oh it's pulling a bunch of stars with it yeah but what they found is that and this is even cooler to me is that the reason there's a trail of stars behind it is because this black hole passes through like like gases and nebula in the in the universe and it's moving so fast and it's got so much gravity and it creates these compression waves that it actually causes stars to be born so um that trail of stars is not being dragged along with it it's just literally like as it passes by uh it causes a star to form he's just farting out stars as it goes you know it's like brook it's like uh shashank redemption and brooks going through handing people uh books from the cart

It's just like, you get a star You get a star, you get a star, you get a star There you go Wow Yeah, leaving new baby stars in his wake But I just thought that was really interesting And thought I'd mention it because It's pretty cool

They think it was expelled Like why was it not with a galaxy They think it was part of a binary Black hole system that was in a galaxy And then another galaxy came and smacked into it And so there are three black holes in a system together there would just be too much. One of them got launched out.

Okay, so literally flung it out of there because of the forces at play. Wow. Yeah. That's awesome, actually. I mean, like, you're talking about the most cosmic scale thing

I think we've ever talked about on here. That's massive. Well, let's kick it up a notch. Okay. What? Bigger than that. Bigger than that. Bigger than that.

So there's a paper that was released. I think it was first written earlier in the year, but it's made its way into archives. the pre-print server that a lot of paper is going to. So this caveat, this paper has not been fully peer-reviewed yet, but the idea is that some scientists are describing what they think might have been a second Big Bang that happened only about a month after the Big Bang we know about,

and they think this second Big Bang might be what's responsible for creating all the dark matter in the universe. Okay. So what is dark matter real quick? Dark matter, well, it's tough to talk about dark matter because we actually don't know what it is. What do we think it is? Yeah, but what we do know about it is that it's it does not, it's something out there that interacts with all the matter that we can see gravitationally, very strongly. But it does not interact with electromagnetic radiation, which is why we call it dark matter because we can't see it.

electromagnetic radiation includes light, x-rays, everything on the electromagnetic spectrum, which is what all of our telescopes, be either radio telescopes or just visual telescopes, they all are detecting stuff on the electromagnetic spectrum, right? But dark matter doesn't interact with other matter in that way. And so we can't see it, but we can see the effects of it, right? It was, um, first, the term was first coined back in the 30s when, uh, Fritz Zwicki, which is a great scientist name. Um, Fritz Zwicki, uh, just noticed that there were, there was a cluster of galaxies that, that were all, um, orbiting together, like this, this galaxy cluster was moving together,

but when he did the math, it shouldn't have, there shouldn't have been enough stuff for those galaxies to hold together. In fact, after he, he crunched all the numbers, he found that, Of the observable matter in this galaxy cluster, it should, it would, it would only account for like 1% of the forces necessary to hold the cluster together. Oh. And so he, back in the 30s, proposed some kind of matter that had to have been there that must have been exerting very large gravitational forces. And he called it ducle materie or dunkle materie. Okay. I think you nailed it.

I'm sure you nailed it. I'll have to go check Wikipedia, or Zikwipedia or whatever that guy would be on. Zwickipedia. Zwickipedia. But yeah, it's German for Dark Matter. So he did that. And then Vera Rubin later came by

and she was a scientist in the 70s who collected tons and tons of data from 60 different galaxies and confirmed that dark matter must be everywhere because all of these galaxies were rotating the outer arms of these spiral galaxies were rotating far faster than they should have been. And the only way to account for that must be that there's other stuff in the galaxies causing them.

Stuff we can't see. Right. Stuff we can't see, right. And we still can't see it and we don't. How come we don't have? We don't have instrumentation at all that can see it yet, right? We're still in the dark. Until very recently.

So the only way that this seems to interact with matter is gravitationally, right? That's the only way we even know about it. That's the only thing we know that it, the only force that it seems to be able to exert on the matter that we can see. So, so, so theoretically, we might be able to detect it with gravitational wave detectors, which are a very new thing, right? I saw new, yeah. And, and that's what this paper actually proposes. Not only does it propose that there's a second big bang that may have caused all of the dark matter,

because that's a big question, right? Like, if it doesn't interact with regular matter, then how was it even made in the first place? Right? Because, because it has no interaction with regular matter. So all the ways that we can... Yeah, what can happen to cause its creation or produce it. Right, exactly. Because how did that happen?

And it's kind of been like ham-fistedly suggested that maybe at a certain point early on in the universe's creation after the Big Bang, things cooled down enough and it just sort of like fell out of all the stuff. But that's not really been a very satisfactory explanation because it's just they're just like, well, maybe it just has. happened. Yeah. And so, so these, um, the authors of this paper propose that it's entirely possible that another big bang happened about at a certain point in the universe of creation where conditions might have allowed it to happen. Um, and the reason that this is a, so, so in order for this to work, there has to be also another, uh, another field of energy that, that holds dark matter and they call it the dark field and so in order

so if that did have if that does exist then it's it's it's possible that another this other big bang happened that created that dark field and then dark matter came out of it the reason it's a good theory they think is that well it would have it would explain why it doesn't interact with matter

and it would explain how it could be possible if it doesn't interact with matter because it was a separate, an entirely separate event. But that's really all they're able to do with it. A lot of the math checks out to make it possible, but it's not really, the tough thing is, is it testable? And they do think that it is testable because if it did happen this way, it would have created gravitational signatures in the sort of gravitational background waviness of the universe. And those signatures can be predicted mathematically, and we should be able to detect them. Because if we can predict what it should look like, then we can try to look for it. Yeah, that's some of that calculatable determinism stuff that I've been getting into lately. Not the everything's determined theory. I mean, like, if we have the right math, then you can accurately predict all sorts of shit.

And I'd love that. Right. And that's important for how science works, right? Science isn't collecting a bunch of data and then looking for something interesting in the data. That's backwards. The way science works is that we, based on what we can see, we make a hypothesis and we figure out what would be the way we would test that hypothesis and then we go and look for it. do we try to confirm or deny the hypothesis? Right. But you can't confirm one, but you at least try to prove it wrong. And if you can't prove it wrong, then there's a good chance that it might be right.

Right. Then you keep moving down the path and finding out other reasons why it should get in the way. I mean, I'm sure that there's, you know, finding out where maybe dark matter came from and that it is there is one thing, right? Right. But then when you, we get better and better at understanding it and exploring it, you, you, you, I'm sure there are answers we have no questions for yet, you know, like a lot of stuff in science.

Or questions we don't even know to ask yet. Right, right. Until we, yeah, sometimes learning more opens the door and then we're like, oh, okay, well now, how come that's true then? Or brer, bra, bra, bra, bra, bra, ber, I love it. I love it. My whole, my astrophysicist obsession

in the last month or so continues unabated. I'm into it. So I'm really glad you brought this to there. The universe abounds with incredible, things that we have yet to discover and it's it's so interesting i think to find new stuff that we don't understand because we we sit in this i think probably every generation and every all along the way has probably thought this but we feel like we're sitting in this particular space and time when we're like well there's nothing left to figure out yeah yeah like we've got

it all figured out but it's it's clear and i and maybe we live in a unique a relatively unique time in that sense because everything, science and technology and everything advances so quickly. It's almost like hard to say that we figured it all out because we see at such a rapid pace new things being discovered.

And not just new things can be discovered, but new things that contradict things that we previously believed or at least augment or change the things that we previously believe. So. Yeah. Yeah. I love that. The phrase exact science isn't such an exact thing anymore. It doesn't exist. Yeah. No kidding.

But yeah, with all these new gravitational wave detectors, as those get more accurate and better than presumably we'd be able to one day test it. We can't test it yet. We don't have the resolution. Like, they've done the math and they know what you would need to look for, and we just don't have the resolution to see the signature that would be there if this actually happened. But when we finally get there, they'll presumably start looking for it. Sure. well when we get there if it's in the lifespan of the morning stream

we'll talk about it here on the show we'll talk about right here exactly but there's other stuff yeah we'll fill it in with other stuff in the meantime don't worry and if the morning streams we'll just reboot the morning stream yeah we'll reboot it we'll let AI run it we'll all be dead by then oh yeah yeah good point it's true whatever just like the Seinfeld

the show yeah I heard their um this is funny you brought that up but there's talk that they're actually going to do a reunion short series like the show's going to yeah they're going to all they're going to get malayne george kramer and is kramer going to be there yeah they're bringing kramer i know right he just published a book uh called i forget i'm sure he addresses that thing in it oh he better yeah his end word he stayed right he's like the only reason people are going to read that book right exactly yes yeah but uh i don't know they could maybe pull it off you get the right people in charge

maybe Larry David pops over and helps, I don't know. It would have to be, yeah, because I felt like we got good closure with the Kirby enthusiasm. Well, that's what I was thinking is why, I only feel like it's not necessary because Curbier enthusiasm, A, is kind of a Seinfeld anyway, and B, they did Seinfeld on that show, so. And they also absolutely addressed and had a great time with Michael Richards stage mess. Yes.

And they did, they handled it really well. And the fact that Leon was there and was part of that was amazing. And like, they really did a good job. Are they so impressed with the success of the Frazier sequel? How is that going? I heard it was all right. Is it bad? Oh, really?

Oh, I haven't heard anything good about it, but I'm guessing maybe it's that I haven't heard much about it. Yeah, I guess there just hasn't been a lot of talk. I haven't heard a lot about it either. Well, anyway, that's a fun way to end a science discussion. Bobby, tell people where all-around science can be found so that people can get more of your thoughts in their head. Oh, you know, do we even need to tell people where podcasts are found anymore? You can find my podcast, my... Right.

All-around science, me and my co-host more. We talk about science every week, science news, science stuff, just whatever we can... Whatever we feel like talking about, because we just love science. And that is just everywhere that you get podcast, just search all around. science. We just talked about, I just did a whole thing on allergies. What are, what are food, what are allergies and, and what are, how are the, how are the, how are allergies different than food, um, like sensitivities. Sure. And intolerances and stuff like that. Right. And, um, that's a good distinction. Because some people, you know, I have a reaction if I have really a certain kind of hot pepper, but then other kinds of hot peppers don't bother me at all. I wouldn't call that an allergy. Yeah. Calapinos make me hiccup. Yeah. Oh, that's right. We've talked about that. Really? You get hiccups from hellipinos, but not from habaneros or ghost peppers or any other serranos or anything else. I get hiccups when people say jappellinos and then I get hiccups when they just say it. Really? Yeah. I just go into a hiccup fit and it takes all my. That makes me my eyes roll. Weird.

Straight into the back of my head. That's like a sensitivity or something. But yeah, no, that sounds interesting because there are distinctions there and I think it's good for people to know those. I had this kid who I knew as a kid, when he was a kid, his name was Jared Kirby, a really cool kid. But he had severe peanut allergies, like really bad, two, three trips to the ER, like, his childhood was riddled with, make sure there are no peanuts anywhere near him. And then around 18, 19, poof, gone. Something changed in his, his metabolism, somewhere, something. No one saw it as miraculous. We just were like, well, I guess whatever you grew up into. to, you're fine now. So he can eat peanuts now. You can touch them. They can come and go.

It's weird, man. I had a, I have a cousin who is severely allergic to milk, and it's the same thing. If there's, like, even a tiny bit of, it's not just milk, it's any dairy. And there's a tiny bit of cheese particle or something on a spoon. Like, everything has to be very, and that's not the same as lactose intolerance for reasons that we talk about. But you're a little bit more. A little more going on there. That's what I get. Yeah. Brian gets the. Dustin Snowbird.

Yep. They've still, they still talk about it up there's a legend. They do. Yeah, well, there's still

there's still parts of snowbird you can't go into. They're not allowed off by, there's a little tape. There's a whole east wing and you can't get in there.

There's like a plaque. That's right. Commemorating it, like wartime memorials, all that stuff. Yeah, it's like, Ernest Hemingway slept here. Brian,

a bit farted here. And he never left. Bobby, have a fantastic rest of your science week and may World of Warcraft treat you well because I know you're playing right now. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Never stopped. I know. Never. He never really did stop. He kept playing. No. He and Alex and their raid team, which I had such a great time with.

Two, the two, no, actually three raid teams that I had such a good time with. And they were the most recent of the three. And when I come back to Wow, and I probably will at some point, those are the guys. I'm going to be looking up. I'm looking you guys up. Looking up your skirt. Let's go. See if you'll let me back in.

Can I please come back in and hit monsters? with my stabbies, can I? Can I hug the floor for most of the fight? Would that be okay? Can I use my ketchup packets on my character and join your raid team? I love that they called them ketchup packets. Catchup packets. Yeah, it was really great.

Fantastic. Okay, we are at the end of things, the end of times. End times. End times. We should check in on him. He's probably just doing Rosary. We should check in on Third Eagle, make sure he hasn't gone to that big level. in the sky.

Yeah, probably, he still just does rosary crap, right? Yeah, it really turned into, uh, just literally phoning it in. Yeah. Let's take a look here. Third Eagle. Yeah, pray, Mary, mugshot heard around the world. Oh, that was two months ago. Oh, he's, he's slacking on his updates.

Oh, really? Oh, no. Yeah, two months, three months. You're ever going to get another song from him? I mean, let's hope not. Let's hope never. Maybe. Anyway, uh, let's tell you a couple of things here.

A quick text from, uh, did we get a name? Yeah, Brian from Waxahatchee, Texas. Something like Waxahatchee. Waxahatchee, Texas. Waxahatchee. Something like that. I don't know how to pronounce that. Something like that.

Uh, he says, hello. My name is Brian from that place in Texas. And I have a question for the show. Do you say hire and higher the same way? Well, clearly I do. Yeah. Higher is in the, uh, this, this building is higher than this other building. And hire, can you hire me for that?

job right uh those those two hires for those of you who are other than scott and me listening to what i'm not reading it he says you uh do it says do it says do don't i think he means you don't yeah but i know i don't i think he's saying i don't but i don't know how to explain the difference he put the word do um yeah uh it's one of those english it's like two and two and two like uh not for me i think because higher is two syllables Oh, and higher. The comparison is two syllables and higher is supposed to be one syllable. So I say, higher and higher.

Higher, hire. I don't know if I can make myself do it. Higher. Higher. Oh, boy, we sure get higher in Colorado than any other states. By the way, I'm trying to get hired for the dispensary down the street. Well, let's combine them. say, I want to

I want to test your weed at your weed company so you're going to hire me to get higher. Yeah, but you definitely do H-I-R-E as a two-syllable. I totally do, yeah. Absolutely do. I never noticed it before, but I guess I do.

We're trying to hire an intern for the show. Just got to make sure that they're not higher than higher than... It's another one of these H-words, done away with his horror, Hara, whatever he does. Hara, yeah.

Because, you know, for me, it sounds like I'm talking about a sex worker, horror. You know, I don't like horror movies, except for clout and leaving Las Vegas. Yeah, those are good. Hua, hooah. Two great horror movies. That's amazing. We got some confusion from Michael in an email. That last thing was a text, 8014710462.

Here's an email from Michael. There's some confusion. He says, Scott, feel free to read this on the show. episode 2543, you and Brian were talking about cremation and then proceed to mention about your cremated remains being fed to old people in the form of brownies. Where did this sick joke come from? And is it actually not a joke? Love the show, bro. Michael. No, it's no joke. I want to be, I mean, I don't really want this. All right, you want the truth? I don't really want this. But I kind of do. You kind of want it. Yeah, I kind of do. I like the idea of my ashes being mixed

in with a beautiful batch of brownies. I don't mean bad brownies. I mean, like, a really great, you know, best recipe we can find. Only the best brownies. Best brownies. And then feed them to the old people at the old folks home. Serve them to the people at the GOP conference. That'll be delicious because they're made from the best bones.

You guys doing all right in the chat. You guys are all right. I'm waiting. I'm waiting. It's a good way to see how long are our time. delay is because I could do the voice and then count to seven and then start seeing the yeah yep there it is right there from rainbow bright and uh genie and yeah they they uh they hate it uh all right well anyway michael no that that is the thing i've said um i don't actually want to do i don't

i think there's legality issues there's definitely a legal issue here i can't i don't think i'm i don't think i'm i'm not going to make whoever i leave in this planet if it's my kids or my wife or whatever i'm not going to make them do this it's illegal for them to do this. I just like the idea. What you have to do is give each of them a job that doesn't involve the other children. So Taylor's job will be to take your body to the crematorium and have it put into a container. Maybe not an urn, but a container.

Then that urn will be or that container will be left somewhere and it will be Carter's job to come pick up that box of power. and take it to Nick, Nick will take that box of powder and say, oh, this is what I'm supposed to make brownies from. Cool. He has no knowledge of what went on before to produce that powder. He's just going to make the brownies. His job is take the powder, make brownies. Bring the brownies, deliver the brown. And then some, Kim, or one of their kids, like Van, the grandson will take the brownies to the actual thing.

Van's got to actually deliver the brownies. All right, there's a plan here. Although it feels like Taylor, once Taylor talks to somebody else, and the chain, the realization will happen. No, no, yeah, no, there's no, you got to tell them. You have to talk to them each individually and say, here's what I want you to do. And if you discuss this with any of your siblings,

you're out of the will. Yeah, you're out of here. You're not going to get my hard drive. The only thing I'm going to leave to you is a slash funco pop that you have to somehow get rid of. It'll be, you'll be saddled with that thing for the rest of your life. They do the will now. That's pretty boring.

It's a lot of nerd shit. It is, yeah. A microphone, I guess. You can have that. I don't have much. I might gaming PC and joy. Trench Wildfire says, there's a perfect secret plan that was just broadcast to thousands of people.

Yes, it was. Yeah, I'm sure it'll be fine. Some 30,000 people will hear this, and I'm sure no one will tell anyone. It'll be fine. Right. Hey, check this out. you should do is eat some before you die have the last thing they feed you is some cocoa powder

and some hydrated eggs or the dehydrated eggs and butter and stuff like that and then there's very little like you'll come out like basically they'll just put your body on a brownie tray going into the crematorium and then comes out of the other side it'll be brownies and no one's the wiser yeah well except the guy pushing it through i guess but yeah no like that's a great idea idea. I like it. I'll just, I'll just eat some Sarah Lee frosting. Some brownie. There you go. Yep, exactly. Just eat that before I die.

All right. We have a plan. Let's get out of here. Thanks everybody for supporting us on Patreon. Those who have when I say everybody, it's not everybody. A portion of you have. A select few, if you look at the larger thing. But man, I'm telling you, if a whole bunch of you just did a buck

a month, you change our lives. In a massive way, TMS would become unstoppable. No, exactly. If you guys became sentient, if you guys became self-aware, you'd be, who knows what you could do with us? It'd be incredible. Yeah, so get over there and check it out, patreon.com slash TMS and read all about it. That's it for the show. Let's get out of here. You got music? I do have a song. This one's going out to Daryl, not that Daryl, but a different Daryl.

I don't know which Daryl this is, really. Dear Space Wolf and Black Templar, on the 13th of November, that's today. I will be celebrating one year of sobriety. That's awesome. That's great. This journey has had many ups and downs and major life changes, but TMS and film sac have been constant rocks of stability for me. I would love to hear a rocking cover of St. Elmo's Fire as I continue to grow into my new life. Cheers, Daryl.

That's awesome. Here, let's play this for him. No food or drink allowed on the tour. Oh, it's close. Yeah, close. It does mention drinks, so very good. Well, Daryl, if you come to TMS Vegas, I will buy you and enjoy a lovely Coke Zero with you. With nothing else in it except ice and a straw.

There you go. Sorry, Dolphins. All right, Darryl, St. Elmo's Fire, this is also known as Man in Motion, originally done by John Parr. And crap, I sent you the wrong version. I think I sent you the John Parr original. Dirk. You'll fix that. That's really funny, because I'm looking at it in my list here.

Did I? I wonder if I sent you the right version. Hold on a second. Maybe you did. I can play a little. Oh, I guess you have it too. We both have it. Yeah. Well, I have what I could go into the folder here. So the version I'm playing and that I will resend you. Yeah. It's funny because I only had two versions in my library, the original and this cover. And this cover is by Clouetta Paris. And it is, it does not have the subtitle, Man in Motion, but trust me, same song. that's how I know I sent to the wrong one because the one I said she doesn't have a sure there we go

putting the new one in our drop box right now so that's the original yeah that's the original that's John Parr that's John Parr singing about Emilio Estabez and Ali Sheedy and Demi Moore I think Demi Moore yeah yep no the whole

I haven't seen that a long time I remember Jud Nelson was Jud Nelson in that Judd Nelson was in that I mean that was the ultimate That was the ultimate brat pack, right? It was. Because he had Rob Lowe as part of that as well, and he wasn't part of the breakfast club.

There we go. Now you got the real one. That's it right there. We're good. Oh, it's so good. All right, Cloetta Paris, and their cover of John Parr's St. Elmo's Fire. Sounds great. We'll see you guys tomorrow for a fresh new, hot Tuesday edition of the show.

We'll see you then. Growing up, you don't see the lighting on the wall. Passing by, moving straight ahead, you knew it all. But maybe sometimes if you feel the pain, you find you find you're all. I found you all that long everything has changed. Take it again. You know you can quit until it's won. Soldier all.

Only you can do what must be done. You know in some way you're in love like me. You're just a place of night and you try to break free. I can see a new horizon up with the blaze and sky I believe the eagle's flying higher and higher gonna be a garden motion I'm a visible move Take one of the future's lying center most fire

Ooh Who Don't know just how far that I can go Just how far I'll send you home Only just a few months on the road I can't make it I know I can't keep up the shouting me But you won't break the road

I see a new horizon Oh up with the glist and fly Where the Eagles flying higher and higher Going to be a girl in motion I'm going to be a bird in motion I'm going to be a bird of roof taking over futures flying sent down most fire

I can find the highest mountain past the water in the sea I can feel central most fire burning in me Burning in me There's once in her life A girl has her time And your time is now

You're coming alive I believe it makes a play I'll see the better's fly Feel like you're back again and home right and high Gonna be your girl in motion motion, all the need is a better move. Taking all the pictures lying, sight of all the fire.

I can see a new horizon up in the blaze in the sky. All the weather is flying higher and higher. Gonna be your girl in motion of all the moon is a better move taking all the pictures, lying in the center most fire. Woo!

Burn, burning me. I can feel it burning. TMS. Earlier this week, you guys were talking about car logos, car emblems. You mentioned the Toyota logo. You can spell out the word Toyota. I liked Scott's take on the Accura. I'd never noticed that that. Acura is a it always looked like a

pen point to me, like a fountain pen. But I'm sitting in my 2006 Subaru Forrester And I'm looking at the logo And I don't know if you know this But the logo is a group of stars It's actually a star cluster

That we call the Pleiades But the Japanese called Subaru And that's where they got the name And I always thought that was cool To look at that Because I don't like astronomy and stuff But also Did you know

That Subaru backwards is you are a boss. Take that into account on that. So, thanks for listening. I'll be listening. Love the show. Talk to you all later. Bye. Hey, guys. It's GameBlitz over

in chat. There's a couple of hot minutes listening and catching up. I'm on episode 2525 of TMS, and you're talking about cool digging games. If you haven't played it, the mechanics in this game are great. You should check out super mother load. It's pretty cool and relatively cheap and available pretty much everywhere.

So yeah, check that out. Love what you guys do. Keep it out. Thanks. You look at the history of life on Earth, you have microbes around 3.8 billion years ago, pretty much not long after the Earth formed in geological time. But if you look for evidence of complex life on Earth, then really there isn't any in the fossil record until about 600 million years ago or so. For most of the history of the planets, there was slime, basically, single-celled things, doing interesting stuff, photosynthesis and things, but nothing more complicated than a single cell. And it's only in the last half a billion years or so that you get this explosion of life on Earth. Less than a million years that we've

had Homo sapiens on Earth. And in the last few tens of thousands of years, we've had a civilization. So here, it took pretty much four billion years to go from cell to civilization. And that's the third of the age of the universe. And so that leads many biologists that I speak to, to suggest that whilst microbes might be common, civilizations might be rare. For TMS, the continuation of the continuation of the weird town names discussion, I'm from Indiana, and apparently we're the place that pronounces things correctly. I live in Warsaw, Indiana, named after Poland, and pronounced Warsaw. We also have a Peru, Brazil, Mexico, and Versailles, Indiana, all pronounced correctly.

There's also a Santa Claus, Indiana, and the thing that gross got out the most, We also have a French lick, Indiana, spelled how you would think it would be, and is known for wine. All right, thanks. Bye. Hey, Scott and Brian. This is Rob Uston. Yeah, you guys always mispronounce my name. I know it's spelled U.S.D-I-N, but it's actually U.S.N., not used in.

It's Ust and in with the D in the middle. Anyway, I just wanted to give a little comment for the morning stream on the discussion of Halloween costumes. I was at New York Comic-Con a week and a half ago, and in as much as, that might be a predictor to what kinds of costumes we might see. Did not see any kind of Megan mashups. Did see a couple of Megan's. Saw a good amount of Spider-Man and a good amount of Barbie and Ken. And then I saw, and there were more than one, Spider-10, which I think was an awesome mash-up

because we have the multiverse, so why not? We could have a Spider-10. and then there were a lot of Asoka costumes. Asoka herself, Hera, and some of the other characters from Asoka, we had a lot of. So just wanted to give you that feedback. Maybe we'll see some Asoka. Maybe you'll see, and, you know, there's always renewed interest in the Star Wars stuff. Always a lot of Jedi Knights and Kylo Renz and Dark Vaders and all that kind of stuff too.

but that's basically what I saw there as some of the popular stuff. So have a good one. Bye. Hello, Sam and Dean. This is Seamus. I'm Dragluya in the Discord, even though I never go to the Discord. I am calling because I was out of work for eight months, and I drive around in a truck going to different jobs.

So I missed quite a bit of the show, and I'm slowly getting caught up. But something I noticed is that you guys are saying shit out of luck.com really quickly at the end of little tales or sentences that you're saying. And I cannot try to figure out what that's about and why you keep saying that. So if you could explain shit out of luck.com, that would be awesome. Thanks for the show, though. Bye.

Hi, this is Bruce from Oregon, and this is On the Ticks. So from what I've heard, you want to cover them with Vaseline, that way they can't breathe and back out by themselves because they can either vomit in you, like the one guy said with like hot match or if you pull them out by the head the head could break off so yeah hi Scott and Brian

push your glasses actually the bombastic bagman or the amazing bagman as he is well known was appeared only in the issue Amazing Spider-Man Volume 1 number 258 and unlike what Brian said that he was Peter Bucket was additioning for the Fantastic Four and

uniform somehow. Instead, what actually happened was that while using the alien symbiote as a costume, Peter Parker asked Reed Richards to examine it. And finding that it was actually causing him harm, Reed Richards removed the symbiate using a sonic weapon, which is one of the few things that the alien symbiote is vulnerable to. With no costume on and having no way to get home without one, he lent him a Fantastic Four uniform from back in the day. But without a mask, he had to improvise that paper bag with two holes cut into it. And being the prexter that he is, Johnny Storm put a kick-me sign on the back of the uniform. On his way home to get his new costume, Spider-Man actually had

to stop a couple criminals and was interviewed by some reporters, but that was the last time the costume was seen in the usual comic book continuity. But it has been seen many times since then in various video games where you can change the Spider-Man's costume into the

Bombastic Bagman or The Amazing Backman. Thank you. Thanks, guys. This is Thomas from Missouri, just letting you know. Thanks. Hey, Scott and Ryan, I couldn't think of anything clever. But when you guys were talking about Internet security, I have a story. One day, my Capital One card went off, and it's like, are you sure you want to do this?

and I looked on Amazon and somebody had two care bears, a baby play thing, whatever you call it, the little baby cage, and then nine iPhones all at once. And I was like, oh, no! And they, like, refused it all at once. But, yeah, I mean, that stuff is real, man. Anyways, love the show, though. All right. Hey, spoon and bowl.

I appreciated when you guys had Amy on this past week that you guys were doing spooky suggestions for books to read. And as a horror buff, I wanted to toss a suggestion out there. Something that just came out recently, it's called Camp Damascus. This is the author's name is Chuck Tingles, which I think is a pseudonym. I don't really know much about him but just came out recently I've been getting a lot of high praise from the people I follow

that are into horror and whatnot so I figured I'd grab it it's really short I think it falls in just under 250 pages so something you can easily knock out in the weekend and it's all about a girl who

lives in a very strict religious community kind of turns out to seem like it's pretty Colty. It's a town that's largely ruled by this organization, and she kind of starts to have interactions with demonic entities, and that leads to a path of kind of trying to solve what's going on, and it seems like maybe there's more here than what people are admitting to and things like that. It was really good. Great little read. I would say that if you or maybe sensitive or triggered by extreme religion or have sensitivities to LGBTQ issues,

maybe this isn't necessarily the right book for you. But otherwise, definitely a great little pickup and an easy one to breathe through if you're trying to knock out a few scary books before the month of October comes to an end. Okay. I'll be good. Enjoy. Oh.
