Starting point is 00:01:00 The morning stream. This little piggy's going to market. Good morning and welcome to TMS. It is the morning stream for Tuesday, November 14th, 2023. I'm Scott, and that is Brian. Hello. Hello. Good morning. I hope your morning is as good as your morning is supposed to be good. it's a good morning so far yeah that's good all right november 14th denver colorado we're supposed to get 70 degrees today oh my gosh i don't know what's up with going on there man i want that we don't have that right now that's a bummer all because the broncos won broncos win we we we get we uh we win heat our uh our state gets heat turned on fantastic yes we are we are currently at 50 and looking at a high of uh 58 is
Starting point is 00:02:00 all. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, that's going to make its way over the mountains here pretty soon for us. Usually try it out and then you send it over here. Oh, I lied. 64 today. Hi. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's good. That's not bad. That's inching close to where you're at. Sure. I don't know why I missed it. Oh, I know I missed right. I was looking at the 10 a.m. 55 maximum. Today at 3 p.m. we will top out at about 64. Cool. Yeah. That's not bad. I can live with that. Yeah. That's nice. I mean, I just, hope we get fall weather before the winter comes in i want i need to be eased in i need to a little i need to be winded and dined before uh before the the the snow comes and takes a big dump on me
Starting point is 00:02:42 yeah so so you know i agree dude i don't feel like a little bit of fall weather first i don't feel like we have much of a fall as it was like usually september october are are you know they're fall months and they feel great kind of a nice easy transition but it was so busy it just felt like we didn't have a fall so i would really like a nice slow burn November, December, where it's not, you know, avalanche material yet. Exactly. No blizzards, but no, you know, maybe a little bit cooler than this weather. Just enough to make the leaves on the ground crunchy when you walked on them and that sort of thing. Oh, we're getting some temps around the country.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Max Trollbot says it's 55 in Chicago, Fahrenheit, 26 Fahrenheit in partly sunny New Jersey. Currently 50. It'll be a high of 20. New Jersey 50F 26F what does that mean overnight I don't know what that means maybe a high of 50 currently 26th 39 in Seattle 80 in southern California all right well thanks you guys for letting us know oh 40 in Portland geez I just wrote a book about Portland and man I don't want to think about Portland for a while it was oh really oh my gosh it was the serial killer novel
Starting point is 00:03:53 it was rough and it was like they kind of made Portland a character in a weird way You know how, you know, some movies and things. Yeah, a lot of times in New York, usually New York and L.A. get turned into characters and stories and movies and TV and books and stuff. Yeah, New Orleans gets it sometimes. Portland became a character. Yeah, Portland felt like a character, like a, like you couldn't have the story without it be set, being set in Portland. And I'm assuming Portland, Oregon, not Portland, Maine.
Starting point is 00:04:21 No, Portland, Oregon, yeah. Portland, Maine is a whole different bag of chips. In fact, you guys just get confused with the one in Oregon. Don't, don't they? Right. Portland, Oregon is known for being weird, and Portland, Maine is known for being confused with Portland, Oregon. Yeah, there you go. I like them.
Starting point is 00:04:38 I think we've done such a great service to our nation by naming major cities the same in different states. Well done, guys. Nice work. Anyway, it's a Tuesday. We got stuff. We got a Tuesday's worth of show stuff today, including a phone call we're going to start out with. Boy, this is a great way to start the show. Ooh, let's hear it.
Starting point is 00:04:57 This is someone who worked at a Walmart. and, well, you'll understand why they sent this in when they did, so enjoy. This is no sense of Flash Itachi's mom. Yes, we had a pooping incident. I work at Walmart, and the person, well, I had to be a woman, pooped on a pot. She threw clothes down. She pooped on a pile of clothes and then changed her clothes while she was there
Starting point is 00:05:27 and less the store. This is in Cedar City, Utah. But you find this funny. That's because it's high altitude in Cedar City. People lose their minds down there, man. Is that the deal? Yeah. That's hilarious that you, like, make a pile of clothes,
Starting point is 00:05:42 poop on the pile of clothes, and then change into some other clothes. Yeah. I mean, that can only be, there's three things at play. Some sort of mental disturbance. Maybe drugs or alcohol. I don't know what else.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Those are only two excuses. You don't get to go. kind of pile of clothes. Do you need to go further than that? No, I think that's it. I think that probably covers it, you know? Like, why, I'm trying to think of, if I walked into a Walmart
Starting point is 00:06:07 and I witnessed somebody throwing down clothes from a rack onto the floor and then taking a dump on those clothes and then changing into other Walmart clothes and leaving, I assume that's what she meant about other clothes. She didn't bring clothes with her. Right, no, I'm sure she changed, yeah, because then walked out of the store, like,
Starting point is 00:06:25 I'm assuming because she wore the, the clothes that she stole. I don't know what I would think. I think I'd be horrified. Oh, I'd definitely be horrified. I mean, obviously, I'd go and let somebody know about it as quickly as possible, but I'd stand there and pull my phone out and record it? What would you say to the lady at the thing?
Starting point is 00:06:43 Would you go? Oh, gosh, it'd be pretty easy. There's a lady in women's wear who's dumping, taking a dump on a pile of clothes on the floor, and I think she's in the process of changing into fresh clothes. the poor employee but it's you know high altitude so that kind of explains yeah they'll all just blow it off it's like
Starting point is 00:07:03 oh we're so high up here we get it's not a problem yeah we get that all the time drugs and alcohol and plus we're high up yeah I mean I think we're I think they max out at at some point in Cedar City maybe 10,000 feet above sea level or something and oh I heard the wildest thing yesterday about the planet okay so we look at the planet
Starting point is 00:07:21 we see like your science discoveries Scott laid on I know right I see it looks like a bunch of, you know, mountains and then the water and then there's land and then more water. You know, like it looks uneven. Like it's... What is it? The earth? It looks like you touched it. If you grabbed it, you'd have like the texture of it. That would be lumpy. Oh, yeah. Is this a billiard ball comparison? Yeah. I heard this from, who was it? Maybe Nile to Grass Tyson or somebody was a TikTok. And he said that on that scale, it's as smooth. If you had a hand that could come down touch it the way that you would a cue ball, it would be more perfectly formed and machined
Starting point is 00:08:01 and smoother than a cue ball would be. Smoother than a cue ball. If you reduce the earth to the size of a billiard ball, it would be smoother than a billiard ball. Yeah. So if you're galactus and you're grabbing the planet you want to eat and you just holding it up like a lot. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:08:20 I would have thought it would have felt crusty and I don't know. I don't know what I would have thought. I wouldn't think of it as being all smooth, but I guess it's all, it's all, it's all relative, right? Relativity, baby. Relativity. Everything's not really relativity, but still it's relative. Yeah, it's relative, but not the theory of relativity. But not the theory of relativity, different thing, but it's all relative. Everything's relative.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Be nice to your relatives. Be good to your, yeah, take care of your relatives. Yeah, all of those things are relative. Anyway, it's very interesting. It's a squishy sphere, says Claire, maybe. I mean, if you squeezed, if you had the size and you could, squeeze it. Yeah, you'd destroy everything. Well, I mean, you'd destroy
Starting point is 00:08:58 the outer letters. I don't know, was it because, I mean, I assume Earth is pretty dense. I know we've got a core. Yeah. But I can hear the song as you're saying it. What's that? I can hear that Big Bang Theory song as you read. It's a very dense.
Starting point is 00:09:18 But if you were to, I don't know, could you squish the earth? I don't know if you could. Maybe not. Maybe it's too dense. maybe it's like a cue ball in that case it's like yeah if that's that small to you you couldn't just take your regular hand i mean the water parts would be squishy you go ooh yeah i would assume so yeah uh oh whoa tallies in the chat drooping earth just to submit it a thing it's a great title already starting it's already a good one that sounds like her the bar the bar has been set super high so uh good luck with that uh all right so there's a thing
Starting point is 00:09:50 Thank you for Walmart on the ground reporting. Yes. You know that Pokemon thing about cops and Pokemon and whether they're allowed to capture them while they're all hanging out or whatever? We've got another one. And this one says this. Hey there, Scooby and Booby.
Starting point is 00:10:06 I'm on TMS the other day. Just wanted to say you guys were talking about police and Pokemon Go and lighten up the lights and everything. Typically in modern cars, when you turn those lights and sirens on, it activates the dash cam. so there is some accountability to go in Code 3 or whatever
Starting point is 00:10:23 to go chase Pokemon's but that's only if somebody looks but yeah love the show though bye yeah I didn't think of that or I didn't know that I didn't know if you flipped on those light or you did a full sign of all of a sudden which is interesting and that you know prevents a lot of abuse of like I don't want to stop at this red light
Starting point is 00:10:38 I'm going to turn my flashes on just so I can get through it and then I'll turn them off which we've seen but a lot of times they're doing that because they're not trying to alert the person that they're going after to their presence right yeah and they would know that and be able to you know people back at hq would be able to clear all that and everything but if i was scooby and booby i gotta say i love being called scooby and booby it's good because those are two of my favorite things they really you love scooby do you're a huge oh no no i just meant booby oh just the booby
Starting point is 00:11:08 okay yeah those are those are two of my favorite things gotcha yeah i like that they rhymed uh yeah you know i was thinking the other day too if you were somebody who abused that power you probably well how do you like if you're in a really small town I don't I don't know this I'm making this up this is just pure conjecture
Starting point is 00:11:28 but it seems like if you lived in a small town that maybe wasn't all wired up that this wouldn't be an issue because you're just you know cletus and you fire up the siren and do what you want because no there are no dash cams you know what I mean like we're just
Starting point is 00:11:41 chasing the dude boys yeah you think like just a little small town sheriff turning his sirens on and his... Yeah. But then would he be playing Pokemon is the thing, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Yeah, who knows? I don't know. I guess they have... That's a really good question. Because those obviously smaller towns, sometimes the more rural you are, the fewer spawn points you get. And so there might not be
Starting point is 00:12:06 pokestops or gyms or even spawn points in some of those places. Are there places on this planet where there are just straight up no Pokemon or Pocosts or any of that? Spont points, yeah. They, they make hospitals,
Starting point is 00:12:21 graveyards, like they've gone through and adjusted their maps so that there are no spawn points in like hospitals or or graveyards or I think they started doing churches
Starting point is 00:12:34 but that doesn't make sense because there are a few churches here that are pokey stops and gyms. Yeah, two of my closest pokey stops are churches. So, so, okay, that's interesting because... And I'm saying,
Starting point is 00:12:47 all this, it's been six months since I've even opened the game, but yeah. So do you, are there probably some countries you can't even do this in, right? Probably, somebody said in the chat room, North Korea, I'm sure North Korea has no pokey stops or gyms, or maybe they would, because I mean, South
Starting point is 00:13:03 Korea is a big time game playing country. They probably don't. I don't know what the game climate is in North, uh, yeah, and I don't know if you need permission or if we have geo, geo data, can't you just put them anywhere you want is there i think you've got special you know it's really it's called
Starting point is 00:13:21 uh uh kim jung un go yeah and you you know you go and you know you go and collect kim jung un's and what do they involve into what's their evolution their ultimate they go from uh great leader to supreme leader oh super effective yeah i'd be curious about that i mean if they don't have internet obviously they can't see it but from neantics point of view are they just everywhere, you know, that anyone could possibly be. It definitely is higher concentrations in more, in more populated areas. So there are probably stretches of like Wyoming that have nothing, that have no spawn points, no gyms, no.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Because why would they bother, right? That's such dead area there. Exactly. Yeah. But it doesn't cost them anything to, I mean, all they have to do is type a little piece of code, put a dot on a map, and there's a spawn point that just randomly does it. I'd be curious, well, it's probably a searchable thing, but like, can I play? Let's find this out.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Pokemon Go in North Korea. Because that does seem like the one place, if they're going to have an issue, it won't be there. Right. It'll be there, exactly. I wonder if the Vatican has no spawn points are. Yeah. Oh, here it is. Pokemon Go in North Korea.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Okay. Hold on. There it is. Okay, northeast China isn't geo-blocked, two entire provinces plus half of two more provinces. Let's see, bu-p-pah. Okay, there are places you can catch Pokemon in North Korea, it says. Okay. Some guy had been there.
Starting point is 00:15:01 By the way, the Vatican does have Pokemon Go locations. So St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican Gardens, all are gyms and pokey stops. Apparently in 2018, a third-party developer created a new game that's only playable in the Vatting called J.C. Go. Oh, my Lord, really? Is that true? Is that not made up? Oh, my gosh. That's not made up. You know what's better? One of the other headlines is it should have been called Popamong. Yeah, Popamon Go. Do thou, you dummies.
Starting point is 00:15:35 That's a perfectly missed opportunity. Popamon Go? Popamon Go. I mean, they probably are. You collect popes. Yeah, they're probably pro-Vaticans why they made it, so they didn't want to make fun of the grandfather or whatever they call him. What's he called? The Holy Father, yes. The Holy Father, yes. The Grand Holy Father.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Claire in the chat probably has no comments about the Pope or any of the Catholic stuff. Oh, probably not. Yeah, no. I don't know of any people from Ireland who have comments about the Pope or carry photos of the Pope or tear pictures of the Pope up. No, there's nothing about the Pope that's controversial. in your country, is my understanding. Not even a little bit. Claire says, I am Catholic, but F the Pope.
Starting point is 00:16:19 How do you do that? How do you do that, though? How are you Catholic? Well, I don't think she's probably like hardcore Catholic. Like, Claire, are you at church every week? Are you doing the communion? Are you doing any of the stuff? Are you got the rosaries, you know?
Starting point is 00:16:31 Yeah, yeah. Probably not, is my guess. She just really just goes for the sacramental line is what she goes for. She's just there for the. Sacramento gin. that they got. That's right. What are we taking communion? Would you catch a Pope in Pokemon or J.C. Go?
Starting point is 00:16:52 So, like, oh, I caught a Pope John Paul. Ooh, it's evolving. It's now Pope John Paul the second. I love it. And then you got to get the really rare one that was born in South America. I've got shiny Benedict. Yeah, Benedict. That's how you know how rare they are. oh that's funny um all right so there's that that's awesome i saw a thing yesterday i'm a little
Starting point is 00:17:18 confused about or concerned about oh okay near where i live uh i guess to the probably to the happiness of of yesterday's mentioned uh tesla neighbor we have a charging set of charging stations and they're they use the tesla interface stuff yeah but they're not branded Tesla i don't know what they are they might be city i don't know what they are sure yeah and there's and there's um that you can get for your non-Tesla cars to make them work with with adapters that have the Tesla interface if they're not, even if they're not Tesla branded. Yeah, that guy with that truck at TMS Vegas had one of those. Rivian, yeah. Yeah, the Rivian had a, he had it tucked in there, but they actually had like two or three of them.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Yeah, because there are a couple of different kinds. They're trying to, you know, they're getting close to unifying all of that and just make it one big USBC. Like, how great would it be if it was just a giant USBC plug? Oh, man. That'd be great. Or even better, make it a tiny regular USB plug and you just plug it in. And then if your phone's down, all you have to do is go, shung, shung can pull it out. And your phone's just...
Starting point is 00:18:25 I don't think a tiny USB plug is going to carry the amount of electricity needed to recharge a Tesla in 25 minutes. No, I don't think that's going to work. But anyway, so this one near us, we got, I don't know, it's like four stalls, something like that, maybe five. and I was out there walking and I watched a guy plugged the thing in well I didn't see him plug it in I saw him walking around his car
Starting point is 00:18:49 while it was plugged in got into his car a Tesla drove off without unplugging it broke off the nozzle what would you call it not nozzle connector or whatever the adapter the plug yeah plug whatever let's say the plug yeah and just drove off
Starting point is 00:19:05 like you know like you've seen we've seen videos of dumb people at gas stations was electric just spilling out all over the ground like it was like a store i'm gonna have to dump some kitty litter over here because it's to absorb all this electricity i don't know what i don't know why he i don't know why he did that like tim this i don't know why people do it with gas stations either i don't know why you're so absent mind that you do that but i guess this is no different than that right you just do that it's pretty much you just forget that it's plugged in you drive off i think my stepdad did that once and there's a thing in the um at least in the gas station that he did it uh where where he drove off with the pump still in his car that automatically shuts the pump or shuts the line off if the pump gets disconnected from the hose. Oh, so it's not spewing gas everywhere or whatever. So it's not just pouring gas everywhere, which I think, you know, after the first person
Starting point is 00:19:56 does that, somebody's going into the, back to the drawing board and coming up with a way to prevent that from happening probably like. My guess is similar to the, they'll do like, what are those things on Mac Notebooks called? What's that called? MagSafe. Oh, MagSafe charger. It's basically a mag-safe. Yeah, they should just yank it out and then it's, oh, oops, so well.
Starting point is 00:20:14 The Tesla plugs, maybe the Tesla plugs should be mag-safe, so if you do drive off with it, it just goes, and you, you know, and it doesn't rip the thing off. Yeah, I don't see why that'd be a problem, just magnets. It's all magnets, right? Yeah, it's all magnets. Just large. How do they work?
Starting point is 00:20:27 Yeah, they do work. They're great. They saved me a few times when I had that notebook. Yeah. And then they got rid of it for a while, and everybody was pissed. And then they brought it back. And then they brought it back. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Oh, yeah. What else going on, Brian? I got a text from the Kwan's yesterday. First off, they told me about they live, or not they live, but they know of another tri-state area that they're familiar with. Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana, the tri-state tollway goes between the three. So you have another tri-state. But then she also said, by the way, I don't care if the live audience hates your Trump impersonation on TMS. I love it, all caps.
Starting point is 00:21:08 makes me laugh every time so there we go so there you go prove positive that brian can keep doing it as long as he wants and as much as he likes and i and i hear the the mix of people like there's people in the live chat room that say they love it that say keep doing it there's also people who uh genie rainbow bright say stop step Stephanie um yeah somebody of the uh somebody in the discord channel oh i need i wonder if i could even find it it's probably uh the thing is they don't hate your impression, they hate the person you're impressioning. Well, and somebody said something made me ask that, right? So binary
Starting point is 00:21:45 hermit wrote let's see, he said, I assumed the talk of whether he could vote for himself as a convicted felon was that dude that Coverville horribly impersonates. And so I replied and said, are you saying that my impersonation is horrible or that it's horrible that I impersonate him?
Starting point is 00:22:03 Yeah. He ever answered by the way? Can you get back to him? What's that? He ever get back to you? He did. He replied. He says, I mean, It's good enough where I know who you're going for, but not really accurate. Okay. Wow. All right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:17 All right. That's funny. I thought, see, I saw that same comment, and I thought he was, I thought his comment was the other direction that it was. Yes, I did too. Like, you know, that I'm a horrible person for impersonating him on the, on the show. Yeah. It's like, okay, come on now.
Starting point is 00:22:34 That's funny. He's calling you out on your poor impersonation. I think it's a really good version of, a version of, Well, thank you. And it's more an impersonation of all things, Sean Bloom. Oh, my, yeah, a couple people. Jeff Ginell, love the impression, hate the person. We all, that's exactly the sentiment that it should be.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Yeah, but keep your emails to yourselves, people who love them. I don't want to hear from you today. Okay? Seriously. Oh, God. If you're going to write me, love me. Oh, I get them all the time. Send the emails that say you love me.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Keep the emails from Scott that say they love Trump. I get them all the time, and they don't really want to have a conversation with me. They just want to get mad. But just, it's fine. Just keep, you know what? Save the characters for another email to someone who wants to read that. But let's be honest. My impersonation is an impersonation of a mix of Austin, James Austin Johnson from SNL and Jamie Fox.
Starting point is 00:23:27 And I don't know who James Austin, whatever that name you said. He's an SNL guy. Oh, dude, he is the current SNL guy who does Trump and he has. got it's funny because they they do his makeup to look like trump and from the neck up it's great he looks like him he's got the big waddle baggy waddle under his chin but um uh but he's a skinny guy so it's like this big fat trump head on this little lollipop body uh weird yeah i haven't seen i haven't seen any of this season or any of this cast i guess i did see part uh i saw the um a chunk of one with I can't remember who.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Oh, the one with Nate Bargazzi on there. Oh, yeah, that's a good one to see. You could kind of avoid the Timothy Shalameh one from last week. I had no interest in it at all. I was like, I'm not watching that. F that.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Why is he on there, by the way? Well, he talked about Dune. He missed him talking about Dune. Oh, I love Dune, but why is he on there, though? Because Dune got pushed the next year. What's he doing? He's currently in, is he in Killer of the Flowers of the Flower Moon or something. There's something that he's
Starting point is 00:24:39 currently promoting and then something Wonka that he's got coming out. Oh, Wonka. Timote Chalame. He used to do 360 hacking videos on YouTube before he blew up. These old videos exist. They're great.
Starting point is 00:24:58 He's just a kid. You know, 2000s. I guess it's just, I thought he had something currently in theaters. No, it's just Wonka, which comes out later this year Dune Part 2 next year Okay The last thing was
Starting point is 00:25:13 Bones and all Probably had them scheduled You know Because Dune was due out A week and a half ago Oh yeah Yeah Yeah just kind of got pushed around
Starting point is 00:25:22 Yeah Yeah which sucks I want to see that sequel So freaking bad I know you do Uh well all right then Let's move on Thank you Don Kwan

Starting point is 00:27:45 Coming out from a tadpooler. That is cool. It's very cool. Go look at that right now while you're listening to the story. While you're listening to the show, get on their mailing list. You can find out more about it when it comes out and all that. Learn more today. That's right.
Starting point is 00:28:00 I have no affiliation with them. No, not at all. None at all. Brian's completely independent in this situation. Well, independent. I'm not the person who does their website. No, no skin in the game. No skin in the game whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Not at all. Let's talk about this Waffle House story here. We got a Waffle House in the news. This is where a lot of things happen at the Waffle House. Yes, things do happen at the Waffle House. Waffle House is the Florida of chain restaurants in some way. It really is. I mean, the Waffle House is in Florida.
Starting point is 00:28:32 It should just be called redundant. Just for Flof falafel house Oh, that's a different thing That's a whole different thing Do we have falafel houses? Is there a restaurant called falafel house? I doubt it.
Starting point is 00:28:44 There should be. If not, why not? There should be. There's a place near us That does falafel and it's very good But they are not called that. Oh, there's one actually Pretty 12 miles away from me,
Starting point is 00:28:53 32nd on Wadsworth. Flawful House and Grill. You should go today. I should go. That sounds great. Yeah. Hoping that car and drive, man. Waffle House workers demand protection from violent customers.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Quote, we are not MMA fighters, unquote, they say. Well, then maybe you should close at a decent time. Yeah, maybe you guys are open too much. Waffle House cook, Gerald Green, is aware of the reputation of his workplace. Dozens of online videos documenting late-night brawls at the 24-7 diner chain gave the impression that its staffs are ready to fight unruly customers at a moment. once notice. But Green, who works in Georgia, says he and his colleagues are tired of having to throw hands and flip pancakes at the same time. And they're calling on the company, they're calling on
Starting point is 00:29:41 the company to take action. Quote, I know the joke is everybody, sorry, everybody's an MMA fighter, but not one actually is an MMA fighter, he says. I told this to the independent. We don't want, we don't want that stuff. Stop trying to be on your cousin's fight compilation video. we're just trying to get your food and send it your way. I don't know the joke that everyone's an M.A. fighter, but no one actually is an M.A. fighter. I've never heard that joke before. I haven't heard it at all. I have seen videos of Brawls breaking out, but it's usually customers breaking out, not the...
Starting point is 00:30:17 Breaking out with each other and not breaking out with the staff. Yeah. Yeah, the fights are always out in the front area there, and I guess maybe they have to intervene. So the apparent lack of concern from management about this steadily, steady drumming. beat of workplace violence, plus other complaints, led staff at three locations in the South to launch a petition calling for change, which Green and his colleagues delivered to the Waffle House headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. Oh, I didn't know they were based there. That's news. Makes sense. I guess so. In Georgia. In Atlanta. Good job, Georgia with your waffles in your house.
Starting point is 00:30:48 To see, petition contained. On every, on every exit in Georgia, Waffle House. Yeah, when I was in Mississippi, they were every four feet, it felt like. They were so, and we don't have I shouldn't say we don't have any But I don't think we have any here We have very few out here And I remember the waffles being really good So I went out there and did Dragon Con Stayed in Airbnb
Starting point is 00:31:10 Outside of Atlanta and rode in with McFall and Clots in the gang And And we stopped at Waffle House on the way in It was like, yeah, this is damn good These are damn good waffles But it's not a place I'd want to go very often
Starting point is 00:31:27 I liked them when I went, when I visited one or two in Mississippi, they were fine. Yeah, they're fine. Part of the problem is you're open 24 hours or some crazy thing. And weirdos are weird at night. Yeah, yeah. You know? And guess where they go? They're like mobs.
Starting point is 00:31:41 They go to where the light is. And if the Waffle House light is on, they're coming in. Yeah, they're going to get waffles and they're going to beat the shit out of each other. They got 13,000 signatures on this thing. This is all from workers claiming they face, quote, the constant threat of in-store violence and poverty wages. That's a whole other, that's almost bearing the lead. They want to get paid more.
Starting point is 00:32:03 It doesn't make sense as to what the, what do they, what do they want? They want less. It just says they, they're launched a petition calling for change. Like, do they want bars between the patrons and the workers? Do they want, because I mean, you're not going to change people on the outside from being violent and drunk at two in the morning? Well, at the very end of this, they call for 24-hour security at the location in particular. Okay. I think that's their thinking.
Starting point is 00:32:34 So they get a big buff dude with a gun and that'll take care of it. Yeah, that'll probably help. Yeah. I mean, you know, a buff dude with a gun. Sometimes. Just that's a buff dude might be enough, too. Yeah, you may not need the gun part. And it doesn't call for guns, but like security.
Starting point is 00:32:48 It feels like exactly. I don't think you need to shoot someone who's hurling fried chicken and waffles at a. Minimum wage employee. That sounds so good right now. I did go get chicken yesterday. I went to Buffalo Wild Wings and got some nuggets, some, their boneless wings, I guess they call them.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Right. And boneless wings. Their hot barbecue flavor is back and it's really good. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong on this, but boneless wings are just amalgamations of meat. Yeah, I mean, they're just nuggets. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:33:23 And the nuggets aren't. When you say amalgamations of meat, I mean, Depending on where you get them, it's, you know, a chunk of, like a chicken breast cut into quarters or something. Right. We assume or hope anyway that that's what most places do. We know some who don't, but most places, that's usually it. But when they say boneless wings. Like they put the chicken in a blender and pour it out into shapes like McDonald's does.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Yeah, I don't think they're doing that there, as far as I know. But I will say that the term boneless wings annoys me, because it does imply that somebody went in and removed bones from wings so that it would be less inconvenient and I don't like that that's annoying just call them what they are which is uh I don't know
Starting point is 00:34:09 if Nugget's not right maybe it's fine maybe I shouldn't worry about such thing yeah but no it's it's uh yeah I know what you're saying like they need a different name like I mean it's when you're known as a wing place you want to stay in that you want to paint still from that palette And so calling them boneless wings, even though they're not wings, and they're typically white meat. Like chicken breast?
Starting point is 00:34:34 I think they're, I think Buffalo Wild Wings uses chicken breast to make, to make those things. That would make sense to me, yeah. By the way, did you know chicken make nuggets? Because do you know how they're all, they're pressed and shaped? Yeah. They have four different shapes specifically that have names. Right. Oh, they have name.
Starting point is 00:34:53 I'm sorry, they have names. I only knew about the shapes. No, do you know the names? The ball, the bone, the bell, and the boot. Shut up. Why does it feel like you're talking about a version of monopoly that comes with special characters or something? That's right. What do you want to be?
Starting point is 00:35:08 I want to be the boot for this game. Yeah, the ball, the bell, the bone, and the boot. I didn't know that at all. Yeah. I don't think any of them, well, now that I think about it, there is a boot-shaped one. Yeah, here I'll give you a piece of art that talks about the four shapes. The bone one, I feel, is questionable, because that's just a slab. That's a rosetta stone.
Starting point is 00:35:28 It should be called the stone, the boot, the bell on the ball. I'd never heard this before. And Bell is also a little bit of a stretch, too. Yeah, I think they, I also think they should have more. I think four is not enough to create some differentiation in your pile, you know? Oh, yeah, no, I mean. You should do 10, 10 different shapes. But what's, to what end?
Starting point is 00:35:50 I mean, you're there, you think the 5% of people who, who still think that they come out of the chicken looking like that are going to be, wait a minute, this one's shaped exactly like this other one. Yeah, that's true. I mean, oh, that would have made a great half-asses question,
Starting point is 00:36:08 automaton. Oh, we've ruined it. That's a really good one. That would have been great. Damn, damn it. Learn something today.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Didn't know that was the case at all. Next time I get a boot, I'm taking a picture of it. And I don't even eat those. Take the boot. The boots are better. the best of the shapes. Occasionally, when Vans over,
Starting point is 00:36:25 Kim will get him nuggets, and this time I'm going to get real up in it. I'm going to check those out. Wait, hold on. Claire Geck says, you're forgetting the ones that are sold on eBay that are different shapes. I mean, those are mutants.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Like, those are mistakes, right? People sell those, like, mistaken ones on eBay? Yeah, the ones that it's like, oh, that one looks like Jesus. That's because the bell, the bell one pooped out a weird one. That's why. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:36:52 They're not, it's not like they, That's the point is they're, they're aboricians. They're, they're outliers. They're exactly. They're malformed. And people who pay real money for, I don't know, a Cheeto that looks like Batman. Yeah. What is wrong with you?
Starting point is 00:37:13 Right. What is wrong with those people? Yeah, but those people who really love Batman. Like if, all right, let's say somebody said, dude, I found a Cheeto that looks exactly like Scott. Johnson. You'd be like, crap, how much do you want for it? I'd say hurry and eat it. So we'd never have to talk about this again. So no one ever has to see it. Yeah. Eat it. Quick. Quick, before anyone finds out. Jason G. In our Discord sent this.
Starting point is 00:37:39 Jason G. Shout out to him for the pulling up news. By the way, anybody can submit news if you want. We'll pull from many of them, not all of them, but most of them. It's over on our Discord. We have a whole group of TMS News. We have a great place on the Discord for submitting stories. We get all kinds of stories from you guys. Jason G sent this in and says he attempted to study this quote he attempted to study fertilization and frogs by fitting the males
Starting point is 00:38:01 with tiny pants or trousers well look at this I mean no wonder Jason G sent this. Yep this was sperm science in the 1700s it's a whole article and can be read at length I'm only going to excerpt
Starting point is 00:38:17 this because it's huge and it's not like a quick story but apparently well I'll read I'll read this part of it. In the excerpt below, taken from beautiful experiments in illustrated history
Starting point is 00:38:29 of experimental science, the University of Chicago Press made this thing, this year, in fact. Philip Ball dives into the 17th and 18th century experiments that sought to figure out the answer to a fundamental question. What induces eggs to develop?
Starting point is 00:38:44 Worthy scientific cause. Makes sense. It's part of the circle of life. Let's go. From microscopic observations of spermatozoa to special little sperm-catching trousers for frogs. He reveals how we came to understand fertilization. So they basically built.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Those are the ones that get really excited and accidentally. Oh, well, give me 10 minutes. Before they get there. We'll try it again. Before they get their little, their frog pants off. Exactly. Let's see. I'm trying to find if there's a, is there a photo of these little frogs?
Starting point is 00:39:22 I mean, it was the 1700s. Nobody was taking photos, but let's see if they have like a anything, like a drawing. Oh, they do. Do they have a little illustration of the frog sperm pants? I think so. Okay, concept was strikingly illustrated in 1694 by the Dutch microscopist, is what they called him. Nicolish Hatskover, who drew a sperm with a fetal, fecal muculus packed in the head of the thing. Look, you guys got to see this.
Starting point is 00:39:49 That's the dumbest-looking drawing ever. my God. That is amazing. Because they didn't know, man. They just were like, well, I don't know. I mean, look, it's like a little dude in there. It's like a little dude, like a little swimmer, like, oh, don't want you to see my privates. Oh, it's so good.
Starting point is 00:40:07 I mean, you got to start somewhere and then you branch out and you learn, right? And I'm fine with this being the place you start, but good, Lord. Yeah, that's really funny to me. Somebody, I don't know. It feels like there still could have been a microscope available to this guy. Well, he had one because, you know. Because you can see on the drawing below, they saw the basic shape. They just thought inside of there, probably based on how much...
Starting point is 00:40:28 That's what happens, like, once they approach the egg little legs, arms legs and stuff sprout from that head. Right. All right. Looks like I'm going to be swimming towards that big egg right there. I think maybe tadpoles fooled them as well, because those are weird, how those happen. Because they look like little sperm. You tadpoles? Tedpoles like the frog babies.
Starting point is 00:40:53 They look like little sperms. You called them tadpoles. Oh, did I say pool? Oops. Yeah. That tells you something. I wonder why on earth you could have said that. Yeah, we're around these people too much.
Starting point is 00:41:01 What's going on there? Way too much. Anyway, thanks for the frog pants article. I appreciate it. That's nice. But yeah, he made little pants, and then these little mesh pants would capture the frog's sperm so they could then study it. It's pretty great. Amish Overlord, I think you might have been in the chat, sent this one.
Starting point is 00:41:19 if he's not, usually is. Anyway, astronauts drop a tool bag into orbit that you can see with binoculars. This is real, by the way. Was it Jake Paul? Was Jake Paul the tool bag? He is the tool bag and currently orbiting over Australia. Fred Durst? Oh, we dropped Fred Durst into orbit.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Well, you can see him with his, put on your glasses. There's Fred Durst, son. I'd love to be able to take a kid out and go, if you look just right in the northern sky you'll see fred durst fly over there exactly just following his little path and you can hear him going it was one of those days don't feel about you do you can hear him rapping that's right all for the nookie all for the nookie all right uh here's that's so stupid Here is Amish Overlord's article. Astronauts drop the toolbag into orbit.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Somewhere hurling more than 200 miles above Earth, the planet of the planet surface is one of Earth's newest satellites, a toolbag, a bag, a bag of tools. That is, it's possible you could actually spot it with a telescope or a good pair of binoculars. We know where to look and when to look. It's important. It's moving very quickly. It's a big-ass tool bag, if you're able to see it with binoculars from the surface of the Earth. Yeah. That's huge.
Starting point is 00:42:40 It's just one you could carry, though. It's a satchel, like a... Yeah. but how is that visible from from the ground it's well 200 miles up isn't that far up the hardest part would be the speed okay so so you're saying that if uh so you're saying that if somebody dropped a tool bag on the ground you'd be able to see it from 200 miles away that's an interesting point i mean obviously you've got the curvature of the earth but let's say let's say you're in a building and you could see even from that you can't really see well let's say 200 miles out from that distance You'd be able to see a tool bag on the ground. Let's say you had a perfectly flat black surface 200 miles away on the ground. No other environmental stuff in your way.
Starting point is 00:43:26 No clouds, no, you know, no obstruction of vision. Yeah. And you had a good pair of binoculars or at the very least a medium-powered telescope. Then, yeah, you could see it. I question it. I don't think. You couldn't see it with your naked eye, I don't think. No, no, the naked eye.
Starting point is 00:43:41 But I mean, I'm even saying that like, all right, you're in a sense. super tall building, right? And you're looking out, let's say, 60 miles out to a neighborhood where you can make out houses and stuff like that. I don't think you're, even with a pair of binoculars, you're picking out a tool bag that's, you know, sitting on the front lawn of one of these houses. Yeah, I think it'd be a lot harder to see there than it would in the blackness of space is what I'm saying. So if you had like, if this object, well, they have a picture of it, you can see. Is it a lit? Is it a lit tool bag? It's not lit that it has, um, here, I'll pull it up it's uh there it is chat you guys can see it too i can see this uh this article so that
Starting point is 00:44:19 little that thing right there is a bag yeah yeah and obviously they're looking at a they're looking at it from up where they or no this might be from the ground let's see no i don't think that's from the ground uh tool bag floating wood i think you're looking down at clouds over the water in that thing yeah i think so too that's not the sky yeah uh there's no official word where the tool bag contained was spotted flying over Mount Fuji last week by a Japanese astronaut but again he's in space he's in space a lot closer to him
Starting point is 00:44:51 planet for months to meet him yeah they don't really say it is pretty far it's pretty far I mean it's it seems I don't know it seems this is a good bobby question like would you be able to see with a good pair of binoculars
Starting point is 00:45:09 and that's what they're saying in the headline right is that Yeah, you can see with binoculars. Yeah, they call it good pair of binoculars. I don't know what that means. I mean, that could mean, what is that? A good pair of binoculars that are basically two telescopes tethered together. Two of those giant observatory buildings and pushed together, like a pair of eyes looking into the sky, maybe. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:31 I don't know. I'd be curious. But I love that they just threw a bag out there and said, here you go. Here's a tool bag. Yeah. Let's let that fly around space. I mean, you can do, you can see, I don't think you can do it, binoculars, but you can see satellites all the time, right?
Starting point is 00:45:46 Yes. I think they could have stopped a telescope. Maybe they should have stopped a telescope, yeah. Yeah, because binoculars, I'm kind of on your side there. That doesn't make sense. I mean, what's a city that's 200 miles away from Salt Lake City, and what's the tallest building in Salt Lake City? And if you were in that building looking out towards hurricane,
Starting point is 00:46:10 or something. Right. With pair of binoculars, do you think you'd be able to make out a tool bag? I'm not sure. I'm not sure I could... Even if light was shining on it?
Starting point is 00:46:18 I'm not even sure I could do it for two miles away. Yeah. You know? Like, well, partly because you'd have... You'd have to assume a lot, like no obstruction of vision of any kind, right? Exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:30 Which you couldn't do on Earth very well. But let's just assume you could. I still think it'd be hard to spot. So, yeah, I don't know how they're doing it with binoculars. Take out your telescope. Oh, Claire. What Claire says, this is silly. Stop this.
Starting point is 00:46:43 This sketch is too silly. Oh, is she still looking at the sperm sketch? Oh, is that what's going on? Oh, I don't know. Or is she that buff? Or is she that calling what we're doing a sketch? I don't know. I've already given it too much time.
Starting point is 00:46:57 I know that for sure. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, thanks Amish Overlord for that. Here's a final story talking about food again here. A bear stole Taco Bell delivery from a Florida family's porch and then came back again for the soda. Oh, that's a shame. Fast food-loving bear stole $45 worth of Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:47:16 And you might say that seems like a lot. Bear said, can I have a sip of your drink to wash down this tasty burger? This tasty burrito? This very tasty burrito I just ate. Oh, there's the bear, yep. That looks like a nice house, too. Anyway, bear wandered up, took the food, got the F out of there, took the whole bag with him. Yep, there he goes, wandered off.
Starting point is 00:47:37 And then later, oh, look at these people are like checking. out where's our food honey our food isn't here they're standing out and then later so they didn't see the uh they didn't look out of the ring doorbell and say oh the i don't know they must not have heard anything right yeah they've got a car they should just go and drive and get taco bell come on agreed do you do you like cold tacos where the the meat has permeated the bottom of the shell so bad it's now a hinged uh floppy book of lettuce book yeah lettuce book that's perfect it's a lettuce book at that point it's a lettuce book at that exactly yeah don't i kind of agree plus 45 you probably have spent 30 at the if you just went there you know yeah oh yeah spending too much on us 45 bucks
Starting point is 00:48:27 a taco belt my gosh it must have been some kind of family thing like bunch of stuff but still yeah it's a lot all right that does it for today's news we're going to take a break when we come back. Travis will be here. It's going to throw a little quiz at us at fast the hyper speed. Yep, it'll be fun. So stick around for that. In the meantime, Brian brought a song. What are you playing? Yeah, Jason Ralph, Roden, Rife.
Starting point is 00:48:49 Rife, maybe. Ralph. Ralph? I can't tell. Little tiny L, little tiny lowercase eye. I can't tell the difference on the screen. Rife. Jason Rife, maybe. Hello, shoegays, and big band. I'm really excited to introduce you to Dear Misty, a band of some of my best friends who are all huge music nerds. I produced and recorded their record, and this is their debut single.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Halloween is a song about finding relief from childhood trauma. It's about searching for safe places, solidarity amidst adversity. If you like the song, please check them out at dear misty. com.com. The album is going to be released in early 2024. Enjoy Jason from Bethlehem, PA. Nice. And, of course, being the producer, he's got permission.
Starting point is 00:49:33 No problem there. Here is the song, it's Halloween by Dear Misty. like as I pick up my monkey's bite I'm over blowing through my blowing through my
Starting point is 00:50:34 A world pool for all of the coups Take me down To refer to me To get this part Where I'll love me If we're Every day of the week We're false and free
Starting point is 00:51:13 Can we It's free I'm still searching for a feeling that I'm afraid I never had. And in my middle age you'll find me. me Winders down and not driving Through my childhood neighborhood To fishing for something I feel
Starting point is 00:52:30 in the field Halloween is every day of the week with arms and freaks can read If we we
Starting point is 00:53:00 Reliefers. Relief, oh. Relief, oh. Relie. Wake up. Wake up! If you don't graduate, we're through. Bush. Here, revive with Vibron. Vibron?
Starting point is 00:54:05 He's not your daddy. I'm your daddy now. I'm your daddy now. I'm a song called Halloween by a band called Dear Misty. Brand new album comes out. early 2024 look for it in the meantime enjoy that track nice all right let's get Travis up in it yeah let's get him all up in it all right all parts of it showing and
Starting point is 00:54:45 exposed this is Travis and you'll do well to listen carefully to what he has to say I agree and TV's Travis joining us as he does about once a month for a little quizery and we're glad to have him back hi Travis how you doing good how are you doing today good man how's that beard you got like soup in the beard or what's going on there no nope the beard stays clean i have uh i have been able to cultivate a habit of i can eat chicken wings and not get my beard oh my gosh that's amazing can i can you describe that do you would like do you pull it back to you what do you do because i get it and i only have this little scruff and i still get food my freaking beard it it started uh like the chicken wing thing actually started before the beard was big um i develop
Starting point is 00:55:29 I would get chicken wings about once a week with some friends of mine, and I figured out a way to hold them one-handed and be able to eat. That way, I could still pick up my glass of beer and drink it without any buffalo sauce all over it. I developed that technique because of the trivia games that were going on the bars where I was eating wings. That's another good way to do it. The thing that still gives me trouble sometimes, though, is pancakes or waffles. The syrup, I've got to be real careful. real careful with that. Oh yeah. Yeah. Well, plus you should be careful with waffles in general.
Starting point is 00:56:04 They're just, they're going to make... I mean, that's true. Just be careful in a waffle house, really. Yes. You don't want to get shot. Based on what we've heard today. Yeah. We've learned some things. If we've learned nothing else. Well, let's dive right in. This is always a good fun time. What have you brought for us today?
Starting point is 00:56:19 Yeah, so we're going to play another round of, name that thing. I'm going to pit the two of you against each other. You're going to bet on how many clues you need to guess this little bit of trivia. We're going to start off today with Brian. Okay. We'll be the first one to bet, and our first round is going to be a movie title. So I'm looking for the title of the film. We're going to go by cast members in that film.
Starting point is 00:56:45 All right. So we're going to start the bidding at six. Six. Ooh, look at that. So you're giving us a number to start with. That's good. Okay. I'll go four.
Starting point is 00:56:58 Four? all right four Scott do you think you can do it in fewer than four
Starting point is 00:57:04 I will attempt to do it in three three all right oh Brian you can try for two
Starting point is 00:57:11 or you can make Scott guess for three or I can make Scott guess it oh man I
Starting point is 00:57:14 hmm three is a good number two's way tougher I will you know heck with it

It's the version with the little, like, short, dark-haired guy playing Poirot, right? Yes, the little... Albert Finney.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Not the TV guy. The TV Perra is a different dude, but... That's who I'm... You know what? That's who I was a visual. Realizing was the TV guy. Yeah, he's so that role that he's all I ever think of. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Oh, it's a good one. He's tough. Yeah, he popped up in when I saw Wing Commander a few months ago. And I, all I saw was Perrault. Yeah, he's the second or second in command or something on a Wing Commander. Yeah. Yeah. I don't even know if you would have given me four.
Starting point is 01:00:21 I would have been able to get that one. I didn't tell me he gave me the cast members of the new one. No problem. Right. That the Fricken hard Well, Scott, you get to Start the bidding on this next one
Starting point is 01:00:35 We're going for an actor Okay And I'm going to give you Titles that he has been in Okay Okay Could be movies, can be TV shows Or is it all movies?

Starting point is 01:01:00 Three, okay. I will, I will, no guts and don't glory it as well and say I'll do them too. Nice. Okay. Scott, your two film titles are Fortress, Beowulf. Oh. Um, it's not. Johnston, Joe, not Joe.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Joe Johnston, no, he's the director. Wow. What was that trick the other day? I have to think of something else and then it'll come to me. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Relax. I think of something else. He's that guy. He's a mobster and a lot of things. I really like him. Shit. Oh, I know who you're thinking of. That's not him, is it? Oh, that was a little bit of the head. Come on now. All right.
Starting point is 01:02:01 No, I can source out where he's going. Yeah. I can see how he's figuring this one out. Fortress, though. Fortress. Oh, maybe I've got that. Fortress. Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:14 This is kind of a guess. Shit. I'm going to totally blow this. Fortress, I'm going to say, Guy. That's the guy's name. Not Guy Richie? Guy.

Starting point is 01:03:07 Oh, man. Dang, after all that, I was really hoping those are going to be right. Brian, here is your third title. You can steal this one. All right. The third title is, adrenaline. Oh, geez, Louise. That helps me. You know, of the three of the movies you've listed, I saw Beowulf, and the only thing I remember about it,
Starting point is 01:03:27 was Angelina Jolie, so I'm going to guess, Angelina Jolie. That is also incorrect. Yeah, I kind of figured. I'm going to give you one more title and see if either one of you get it from this. Okay. All right. Gray Stoke, the Legend of Tarzan. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 01:03:43 It's a freak. It's your guy. It's your Highlander guy. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. It's, uh, uh, plumber. He's the Lord of Lightning. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:04:03 Christopher Lambert or Christopher Lambert or Christopher of Lambert depending on where you are. Oh, that hurt you. I don't even know Fortress. What is that? Is that a newer movie, older movie? No, that is a early, I think, 93 action movie that he did. He did a bunch of like adrenaline was another one of those in like mid-90s.
Starting point is 01:04:26 did a bunch of single title. It feels like two movies we should have watched for film set. I was sure we did. I can't believe we haven't done that. And Beowulf is one he did in 99, I think. Isn't that? Oh, so it's not the one with, um. It's not the one with Ray Winstone, which is where Scott was doing.
Starting point is 01:04:41 That's where I was supposed to hit the guy. Yeah, he did a version of Beal Wolf that is, uh, not quite as good as that one. That's the one. A lot of people don't like the CG ones. Yeah, the CG one is from, uh, Tomb Raider Ronamitra. what's his name produced it or made it uh zamekis zamekis robert zamek oh really okay yeah it had a lot of problem it had the same problems that his
Starting point is 01:05:05 christmas movie had a lot of a lot of you know weird starey cgai characters it was weird yeah it got a little uncanny valley the tech just wasn't quite there yet um all right so we're over to uh round three this feels like a half asses round three is going to be uh i i enjoyed the song we did last time the hurdle thing that we did so uh we're bringing that back oh cool all right good so we're going to do a song brian we're going to start with you um for the bidding now i have i have this in one two three five eight and twelve second snippets okay so we'll
Starting point is 01:05:45 start at 12 and work backwards from there all right um i will so you see said one, two, three, five, eight, twelve. Is that right? Yes. Yep. Okay. I will, uh, I will say five seconds. Five seconds.
Starting point is 01:06:02 All right. Scott, do you think you can get it in one, two, or three seconds? I can't do it in four. Nope. I don't have a one, two, three, five, eight, and twelve. So you get your choice of one, two, or three seconds. I'm going to say name that name that name. Or make Brian get it.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Yeah, make Brian get it. We'll see him do it. Okay. All right. Brian. Here's your five seconds of this song. Boy, are you in your wheelhouse, aren't you? There's no time for us.
Starting point is 01:06:37 That is Who Wants to Live Forever by a little-known band called Queen. Bingo, you nailed it. Brian, finally, somebody won. Congratulations. Well done. That was great. I don't think I would have gotten that. I don't know if I would have gotten that because I was hoping Scott would say three and I was going to go two.
Starting point is 01:06:57 I don't know if I would have gotten that in two. I don't think about that little synthesizer part of the beginning until it starts to go all the way through. The way it starts is different than the rest of the song. It's nothing like the rest of the music. In fact, I remember that used to bug me a little bit. I used to be annoyed because it felt like a different song. Well, congratulations, Brian. You win nothing other than the accolades of this.
Starting point is 01:07:21 Of us. I'm going to give myself a prize from my own desk. Oh, I win a... Yeah, what do you get? What do you give yourself? A 3D printed toothpick holder. Oh, that's a nice... Oh, that's lovely.
Starting point is 01:07:32 It's purple. It's like the toothpick holder formerly known as Prince. I love it. That's right, exactly. My toothpick holder is my ear, and then it falls into food, and Kim gets mad. I wouldn't even put it behind your ear and then put it in your mouth. I know. I'm weird that way.
Starting point is 01:07:51 I have a thing with these things. Travis, always a blast. Tell people about your show so they can go check it out and hear it. Yeah, so I have a show called Wait, You Haven't Seen, where we talk about a movie that somebody hasn't seen before. This week, the episode that will come out tomorrow, I found somebody who hadn't seen Avengers Endgame somehow. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Wait, had they seen Infinity War? A couple of months ago, they finally watched Infinity War. So we had a really, his name's Darren. He's from a podcast called The Nostalgia Cast. So we had an amazing conversation talking about kind of pop culture, Marvel, the MCU, sort of movies at large, like movies versus cinema. And it got really interesting because he started out watching all of the movies that Marvel was putting out. And somewhere along the line, he was like, all right, I have to step off the ride. He got to a point where it was just, he was seeing the same thing.
Starting point is 01:08:44 And he's like, I'll step away. And I've got other things I can watch. but he came back and he really enjoyed endgame. So it was kind of fun to talk to him about it. It was a great conversation. So that'll be the episode coming out tomorrow. Very cool. I just can't believe he's waited this long.
Starting point is 01:08:58 Like to the end of Infinity War makes you really want to see Endgame right away. So he's a better man than I. Yeah. Yeah, same. Plus, we did it two years in row. Or not wine, or not wine, but really take down a movie. The next episode of Gore, I won't say what movie it is. but I had thoughts about the movie that we watched on Gore.
Starting point is 01:09:22 Okay. And I don't hold those back. Was it a horror movie that you saw? It was a horror movie. Okay. All right. Well, I've done away improves. That's fantastic.
Starting point is 01:09:33 Thanks for hanging with us. We look forward to doing this again. And perhaps I'll perform better next time. Bye now. Perhaps. Brett. Hey, you did, you know, score notwithstanding, you did better than I because you'll, you at least had uh you knew the murder on the orient express from from uh uh the three actors and
Starting point is 01:09:55 yeah that was it really jumped out at me but the name just could not come and why it's the most common of the that's the one everyone thinks of the right exactly nobody thinks of jewel or a murder on the night no what is it something on the nile what's i called it's that jewel of the nile because that's now that's stuck in my damn head i'm going to think of a hunting in venice and then say and then say shit on the Nile. What the heck was it? Someone in the chat will know.
Starting point is 01:10:23 Death on the Nile? Is that it? Death on the Nile. Jeez, yeah. Oh, okay. Well, this still doesn't sound right, but I guess they're right. Hit the Nile on the head. All right. That is going to do it for today's show.

Starting point is 01:12:27 Another one going out to I-Corps, which says, Hey, Stocks and Bonds, I'm putting glasses back on for this. Maybe I could just increase the font size in my screen. Maybe I could do that. Hey, Stocks and Bonds, November 14th is my birthday. Getting older isn't as fun as it used to be. but I'm glad to have friends like you both and the Tadpool in my life.
Starting point is 01:12:49 Could you play Marillians Cayley by the other cover master from the Denver area, Mike Massey. Or Massey, Mike Massey? I always thought he was from Salt Lake City, honestly. That's surprising to find out he's from Denver. Yeah, I thought he was from your neck of the woods. Weird.
Starting point is 01:13:03 The original is one of my favorites, and Mike's cover is especially good. It would also be interesting to hear the very last sound on Scott's soundboard, make him scroll to the end, above the low blow, Kevin. All right, two things. Let's party.
Starting point is 01:13:19 And then the last file I have by date, right? That's the best I can do is by day. That's all you can do, yep. Oh gosh, this might be harder to do than I thought, but I'll try. Let's see. Okay, that's not it. How about? Okay, here we go.
Starting point is 01:13:40 Let's try. Okay, best I can tell it's this, but this might not. be accurate. Okay. But let's give it a shot here. Oh, that's a long one, though. Let's do a short one. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:50 Shortest, oldest one I have. Key for Thutherland. Okay. There you go. Now, I'm 100% sure I have something older, but I don't folder them the same, so they're kind of hard to find the way he needs it. But I'm happy to do that for you, Kevin. Happy freaking birthday.
Starting point is 01:14:06 You're a good dude. By the way, as of 2012, Mike Massey lived in Salt Lake City. and then move to Denver right after that. Well, then we share him as a cultural icon. Exactly. I got custody of him now, and he lost custody. Oh, man. Back in 2012, sorry.
Starting point is 01:14:27 Let's go to court. We'll get it worked out. So, here it is, originally by Marillion. It is, oops, I lost the page. I lost the page that had it.

Starting point is 01:15:13 Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall? Do you remember dawn escapes from moon-washed college halls? Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square? Do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair? By the way, didn't I break your heart? Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart. Sorry, I never meant to break your heart, but you broke mine. Kaylee, is it too late to say I'm sorry, and Kaylee, could we get it together again?
Starting point is 01:15:58 I just can't go on pretending that it came to a natural lid. Kaylee, oh I never thought I'd miss you. thought I'd miss you and Kaylee I thought that we'd always be friends we said our love would last forever so how did it come to this bitter end? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Do you remember barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars? Do you remember loving on the floor in bells? Park, do you remember dancing in stilettos in the snow?

So sorry, I never meant to break your heart, but you broke my... Kaylee, I just want to say I'm sorry, but Kaylee, I'm too scared to pick up the phone to hear you found another lover to patch up our broken home.
Starting point is 01:17:55 Kaylee, I'm still trying to write that love song. Kaylee, it's more important to me now you're called. Maybe it won't prove that we were right, or it'll prove that I was the wrong. Get more at frogpantz.com. I'm an equal opportunity ass kicker. I have a theory about the carbonated meat. So I live in East L.A. area, and I'm not Hispanic, but I'm not Hispanic, but I'm been to a lot of backyard barbecues and family gatherings and stuff, and it is very common
Starting point is 01:18:40 for the carneasada to be marinated in Coca-Cola, especially Mexican Coke made with like real cane sugar, and it's delicious. And I can absolutely imagine Scott eating carneasata that was marinated in Coca-Cola and thinking, wow, this is carbonated meat. Love the show, though. This is Navarine, and I don't want to go on too long about this, because I know you guys want to keep it short, but I have a book of weird facts. Banker Spanker, November 6th, I'm sorry, November 16th, 1979. In 1978, a Pittsburgh area bank manager named David Rhodes was caught spanking customers who were tardy with their loan payments. His victims ultimately blackmailed him for $88,268 by threatening to report his behavior to authorities. When auditors caught roads stealing funds to cover his tracks, the 38-year-old daughter, I'm sorry, I know I would do this, the 38-year-old banker admitted that he'd been hadly
Starting point is 01:20:01 the buttocks of delinquent customers in his office for years. On November 16th, 1979, Rhodes was sentenced to three years in a Pennsylvania prison for misappropriating bank funds.
