The Morning Stream. you have job, you wear the pants. Hello, everybody, welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream on this Eclipse Monday.

Turn around. It's April 4th, or 8th, rather, 2024. We got a 4-8-24. It's a lot of 4s and divisible fours. It's too bad. It's almost a math problem. We miss the math. problem on Saturday, which have been 4-624. Oh, yeah, that's true. Well, that'll come around again in another 20 years. Like the Eclipse, we'll get it in a lot. Just everyone

live long enough. We have a partial math problem in our... That's right. It's good to see you all, though, and I hope you're all doing well on this lovely day. I'm Scott and that's Brian, and we have a show to do. We have stuff to talk about. That's right. It's right. Important issues laying at our feet. It's up to us to pick

it up, make sense of it, and purvey it to you guys. 420 will be 20-04-24, Claire says. That's interesting. Yeah, I like that, except that's just the way you guys do dates. We don't do it that way, right? Or no, yeah, because we put the four first. You put the month first, then the day, then the year. I know we've talked about it before, but why do we, did we rebel? Is that us rebelling? Why do we do it different than? I don't know why we, why that is. America. America. Rebelling. You know, if it were me, we would put the year first, then the month, then the day. because you can write that in a file name and alphabetically it will always be correct. It'll always come up in the correct order. Whereas if you do day and then month, you know, all of your first of the months are going to be first

and then your seconds of all the months, all 12 months will be there. That's a really good point. Yeah. Why don't we all do that? That's a good idea. Let's all switch to that. Yeah. How are we supposed to keep our dewey decimal system correct if we don't?

sure if we don't do that because that would be in such a pale of butt right to go say uh oh hey when is your band going to be performing oh on 20 24 oh 420 i mean maybe we could oh cool i can't wait to go see you just from a like a just a storage maybe we are maybe they do this with computers and stuff and i just don't know it maybe they do store dates this way some programmer let me know hey you know what we did when we were programming at the the newspaper software company because I had that set up in my support system. The system I used to track all the technical support, which I built in freaking supercard.

Oh, my lord. Had it had like a card for every client and then a list underneath it of all of their support calls. And this was before, what's the big one? Sales, sales, sales, uh, sales force, sales force? Salesforce, yeah, Salesforce. This was before Salesforce was a thing. Basically, I created our first CRM at the company. and we all used it.

It was great. It was great. We could look up any previous support issue that they've had and said, oh, you actually called about this two years ago and we solved it for you

by doing this. So just do that. Yep. Look up Supercard, kids. It will explain everything. Or HyperCard. Or HyperCard. Remember what I say?

Did I say SuperCard? I meant HyperCard. Well, SuperCard was the advanced version of HyperCard. Oh, it was actually a Supercard? It was a Supercard. It was, yeah, HyperCard evolved in a supercard. Or at least that was the commercial,

like create commercial applications. with Supercard. It was a, that had Super Nintendo, all of it. Did you, uh, do you ever put, um, uh, do you ever have to do anything with Access, Microsoft Access? We had to build something with that. I freaking hated Access. Oh, really?

I love. I don't know what it is about relational databases and saying, okay, this is going to be my index record. And here's, and then drawing like, oh, with, with Access, you can actually draw the little pathways to say, okay, this, um, this, um, this field here pulls from this separate database by matching whatever comes up in this other thing. Oh, I loved it. I like relational database stuff, but that thing, for whatever reason, we just always had issues. Something got corrupted every other day. Yeah. Yeah. That was our only

complaint. And we was always on this external drive that nobody trusted. I don't know. These were weird, heady days, you guys. This was back in the day. We don't know that if we were going. I was using File Maker Pro back then, too. And once they added relational databases, it was all over. a big music database to store all my records and single like the individual songs so that I could pull up you know uh covers that I played on previous shows and stuff like that and then it's like oh well I can do 99% of this in Apple music just by using the description and comments fields so let's switch to doing that I was going to ask you what you used today I guess that makes sense why why not you don't have to reinvent the wheel if they already give you

no I mean I can by typing something into a field I can tell you what songs i played on a certain episode or uh pull up a list of of an artist all the songs of the covers that uh of their songs and tell you which episodes i've played those covers so if i said uh and you could do you could also use this as data to find out what got what's been played the most right so both that both sides now song you love so much by um yeah jason falkner you probably jason falkner baby that one's probably a big old you know i'm up there i think I think I've played it three or four times on the show. There's, I tend to shy away from playing the same song on multiple episodes unless it's the end of your countdown or if, if somebody dies.

And that's like, oh man, that version is the definitive version of their biggest hit. That's the one I'm going to play, even though I've played it on the show a bunch of times. But if it's like a regular weekly, hey, they're 50th birthday. let's play a bunch of blah blah blah then I'll always try and find new songs that I have not played on the show Faulkner's healthy he's good right he's good he's doing all right no no worries for Faulkner

okay he's young yeah he's young I don't even know if he switched doing producing he had a band called TVIs for a while and then he started doing producing and I don't know who he's produced music for I need to go back and follow him because he was part of Beck's touring group for a while. Oh. Why does that fit so well? That seems just about right to me.

It fits perfectly, right? I mean, he is the, yeah. That's great. And Beck's still doing shit, right? He does things. Beck's still totally doing shit. Yeah. Making the albums, going on the tours. He's doing all that stuff. He's got the two turntables and a microphone going. Both of those things. All three of those things, yes. Devil's haircut, all that. Well, great. Fantastic news, everybody. Spanish. That's right. Who else is going to do it? If he's not, we're going to play a call here we got. Oh, cool. All right. We asked people to respond to the idea of cops playing their switch on duty.

Mm, good. And what that's, you know, if that was a common thing, we talked about the Japanese cop who got suspended for a while and all that for, and no pay and all that, or a reduction in pay. And we got somebody right in about it. So let's play that call. Here you go. Hey, Scott and Brian. This call is for TMS. We're just calling in a little. let you know that this is in response to that story about the, I think it was the Japanese police officer who got in trouble for playing Swiss while on duty. Well, happens in America here too. I know me and my co-workers, I'm not a police officer, but I work in a 911 center. And usually on holidays when we're not busy, I mean, we, you know, we organize the work around it, but we might bust out the switch for a little Mario party on the, on those long holiday shifts. I haven't gotten trouble, at least not yet. So hopefully that doesn't come down the pipeline. Great show, guys.

Thank you. Am I the only one that's surprised to hear that holiday 9-1-1 traffic is lower? I guess if it's Christmas, people are at home, I guess. I guess, but I mean, I feel like 4th of July, got to be higher than an average day. Yeah, New Year's Eve. There's no way New Year's Eve is quiet at a 911 cost. Right, yeah, exactly, all that drinking. So, yeah, you're probably right.

Like, Christmas is probably dull and boring and, like, oh, we had a Christmas tree fell on Grandpa, and you send someone over to help us pull it off of them. It's really heavy. Uncle Lewis tried to light his cigarette Or light his cigar It's after the blessing So you got like Easter's probably quiet

Thanksgiving's quiet So that makes sense I guess It would suck to get the Christmas shift At a 911 call center I would hate that Yeah Yeah But the fact that these guys are breaking them out

And not getting in trouble yet Well whatever I think that's great And also Mario Party You know what's a pretty good time killer It's all right It's not bad Yeah. Did you say Mario Party or Mario Kart? Party, I thought.

Party, okay. Yeah. I love the part. I love the Mario Party. I like it too. It's like a, it's literally a board game in your hand, you know? Yeah, yeah. And that Switch game got some heat because it's, there's some real randomization in it, a lot of RNG in that game. But I really like it. We played it not long ago with some people over here, and we had a great time. Wait, so it got heat for being too random?

Yeah, like, so I guess in years past, it wasn't so. luck based um and i don't know how much of that is you know true of older versions of the game oh i see what you're saying yeah like too much rngy in the games that that would require the little mini games that would require skill yeah because in out on the board of course that's random because you're rolling dice yeah you want your dice rolls to be random that's what i was like wait too too random yeah there's a little that does make sense a little bit of that going on but i do like that series more than i think most people do some people scoff at it when there's new ones but I think they're a good time.

It initially felt very rudimentary. It felt targeted towards a much younger audience than I think it looked like it was, but it really wasn't. I think it's fun. It just is, you know, it's got kiddie kind of music, but that just means fun for all ages. Yeah. Yeah.

Look, Nintendo, they make games and people like them. Get over yourselves. All right. Let's talk about your mystery date. well how to go this weekend yeah oh it was uh awesome team and i went out uh it was her turn to pick for me so we went out to dinner and then uh uh uh we drove over to the place where the mystery date was going to happen i saw this big sign that said circ paranormal so it's like a circ to solace thing but much more death medley looking and uh because of our 100 mile an hour winds

that we've had over the weekend uh sorry kids uh Turcus has been canceled. Moose outside should have told you. Really? So, yeah. So it was a bummer. They actually, like, the tent that they had pulled up, they was flattened, or they lowered it to, you know,

you don't want the whole tent shaking with the lines and the wires that come down from that thing that people are using to juggle fire while they tightrope walk. Yeah. Man, that sucks. We're doing, it's, they gave us. check tickets so we're going tonight at 730 so um it's not bad should be pretty cool circ i'm pulling up right now circ paranormal so literally an outdoor deal uh well a tented outdoor deal though a tented outdoor deal yes okay that makes it more authentic i'll bet you know yeah yeah more

than some yeah i think so like it feels more like a traveling um i used to call them geek shows I guess. Ooh, restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian over 21. No one under 13 admitted. Uh-oh.

What's up there, man? This is not your children's paranormal circus. So I assume it's a lot of like, I don't know, avant-garde looking stuff. Yeah, you got video? We got a trailer or some sort. I haven't even looked at this video myself.

I'm wondering if I should because I don't want to spoil any surprises for me. Yeah, you're about to see it. I'm about to see it. Let's see what we got here, chat. We'll just take a look here on the screen. Oh, we got a plague doctor looking guy. He got some, uh, oh, is an axe.

Oh, violence. Oh, this is like very horror based. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I'm super curious about your take tomorrow. It should be interesting.

Because this is wild, dude. Yeah, it looks, uh, it looks like if Rob Zombie had a circus. Yeah. Let's see. When is it? Does it go through you? The Utah? The Utah? Does it come through?

The Utah? It does not. So, Casper, Wyoming, Billings, Edmonton, Alberta, Eureka, California, Medford, Oregon. A lot of Oregon shows. Eugene, Redmond, Happy Valley, Poyallup, Washington, Tacoma, Washington. And then the East Coast, Freehold, New Jersey, Elizabeth, New Jersey. Yeah, so it's interesting, these weird, almost vertical swats that it takes, right? Right. Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Alberta. California, Oregon, Washington, New Jersey.

That'd be cool if they would come here. You can only tour on north-south freeways. It's weird. It's all longitude. And that's it. Oh, wait. That's right. Latitude. Yeah, longitude. Latitudes is this way. Yeah, latitude's... I always think ladder and like rungs of a ladder. Yeah. Oh, there you go. That's a good way to remember it. Yeah. When I was a kid, that was how you did it. So the teacher. didn't make fun of you in class.

Exactly. Very nice. We'll have fun and report tomorrow and we'll see how well. Tell you all about it tomorrow. I wonder if they'll let me take pictures in there. And if so, I'll take some pictures. In this video, there's a couple people taking shots. So you're probably okay.

Okay, cool. So it'll probably be okay. Seems like it. Plus, you know, they're showing a lot on camera here. There's some contortionist shit. There is some, yeah, some wacky, wacky contortionish shit. Yeah. Ed.

Ed? Whoa. All right. Here's this. I noticed not when I took my color of the bastard. I know. You didn't even get yellow. You got pink.

Yeah, I grabbed the pink. I'm going pink, baby. Hey, Dunaway, what are you doing? Welcome. I always, oh, hi Scott and Brian. I always take purple. Do you always take? What do I usually take?

I don't know why I have purple. Usually get gold or yellow, yeah, don't you. I had, I think it's because I, I don't know, last time maybe Travis took the one that I usually take or something. Oh, Travis. I don't know. But hey, it's the, look, it's the half-asses. We're going to play a game. Don't know why he's here to play it with us.

Brian, Nibbitt will explain what the hell this thing is. Brian, take it away. Here are your explanations. Welcome to the morning half-asses. A trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving you the answers. I'll give Scott and Brian a category and six possible answers, three of which are correct. And three of them, like the prophecy of the experience. clips are incorrect depending on how confident they feel with the category they 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 two right gets you three points three right gets you five points we'll add up all those points to the player with the most after three rounds wins the prize for their contestant and who are our contestants and what are our prizes i'll tell you right now scott you're going to be playing for jeff rose in columbus ohio nice i think he's in a he's in a path of totality. Brang is going to be playing for Kev, aka Crazy in Richfield, Utah.

Oh, nice. Crazy Kev. Richfield's cool. Hey, it's a little more rural, that's cool. I like that town. Hey, Dunaway, you're down in the south there. A lot of people come into the south that see eclipses in certain parts of the country there.

Are you excited about looking up? Yeah. What's your percentage? Because you're not in the totality, right, where you're at? I am not in the totality. The last time it came through, we did get the totality. This time we're only getting 78.7% in around three hours and 39 minutes. It's so precise.

I may have the app pulled up and may be watching it all day. I don't know. Maybe. Maybe. You're just saying maybe. That's all. Maybe. It was really cool the last time, though, with the totality thing standing outside and it just got, it got dark.

That was the one last year, right? Yeah, yeah, a little bit of chill in the air. And it's like, ooh, scary. I see why people freaked out back in the day. Definitely would be creepy. You didn't know what's coming. Oh, there's still. There's what your dogs do.

Keep an eye on what your dogs do when the eclipse is going on because they'll be freaked out. There's still people. We have some sitting Congress people who think it's a sign of God's wrath. So, you know. And their terms right now. I mean, come on. What more do we need? So stupid.

This is a sign sent from. God's like yeah he's been sending it since the beginning of time every 20 years and is that case i like to call wrong if i'm wrong i'll totally eat my hat yeah i'm no problem i like to call the moon occasionally god's hand yeah look at me who up here look the people that claim rapture i kind of hope they get taken it's fun rapture just go ahead and fly off that's great we'll do fine without you anyway uh let's play this game i'm very excited won't you tell us how you feels got let's let's get to the game All right, let's start with your first one. We talked about holidays earlier on the show

and their relation to EMTs and emergency workers and stuff like that. But which of these holidays have a Peanuts TV special? You know, so it's blank Charlie Brown or something equivalent. Your choices are Earth Day, Columbus Day, Super Bowl Sunday, Flag Day, Arbor Day, and Easter. Which of those have an associated Peanuts TV special?

My Lord, dude. Boy, one of these seems Shit. I think I'm doing I think I'm doing Some of these are trying to trick me I'm doing two I'm doing two trying to trick me

I'm picking two pinkers All right, okay All right Arbor Day is correct Yeah, it's Arbor Day Charlie Brown or you're a good Arbor Day, Charlie Ray, I don't know what's called. Easter is also correct.

Columbus Day is not. You guys both said it on Columbus Day. There's no, it's Columbus Day, Charlie Brown. But Super Bowl Sunday, oddly, is the other one. So, damn it. Between the two of you, you picked the three correct ones. You also picked the wrong one. I've been listening to another podcast called Stuff You Should Know.

I think that's what it's called. And, yeah, they've been talking about the peanuts. And I've also broke out my old 1950s through 54 Peanuts collection. I've been reading that in bed every night instead of looking at TikTok and staying up all night. And I'm looking at Charlie Brown and saying, good night, Charlie Brown.

Mm-hmm. Going to bed. Yep. Good night, Charlie Brown's my favorite Charlie Brown special. That's one of the better ones, yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, let's see if you do a little bit better question.

Not the original characters. Little folks was different in the first one. Yeah, it's different. like Charlie Brown didn't even have a stripy shirt on. No, and he was walking on all fours. There were characters you didn't recognize. It's like,

who are these people? Sure. They're all, it's like those early Simpsons where they're just drawn different and you're like, who are these freaks? Those are weird. Those are hard to look at sometimes. They are.

I love them. I love them. I know you do. You love everything. But I mean, I love them too for what they are. I just, they're so discordant.

It just feels off. It's so much fun to watch. You're so used to the way things are drawn, the way you know them. And so when you see these alternate versions like, what is this an AI version of peanuts or an AI version of The Simpsons? What am I looking at it? Yeah, it's very weird. As a cartoonist, it's so much fun seeing where a shell started it and kind of like what. Oh, I agree.

I totally agree. It's like anything. If you watch, do yourselves a favor and watch the family guy pilot sometime, it is weird as shit. It is so weird. voices aren't worked out nobody talks right looks right acts right like that is the hallmark of animation i think was uh uh was the voice of um what's her face the daughter oh i didn't even know that that's even weird wow yeah there was in like an original uh the original sponge bob episode is super weird like they're all like this all weird the first friends episode it's not even animated

that first friends episode that pilot is a nightmare it is so different than the rest of the show Anyway. How, how, uh, Snoopy like in half of the first, uh, comics is, he's just walking around with a flower on his head half the time. He's constantly getting flowers and somebody watering him. Like, I don't know where he going with this, but I like it. And he was on stick it. And he was on four legs for most of that run. And then suddenly two legs. Like this catchphrase in 19, I think it was in, in March of 50 or something like that. Anyway, he was like, I get my laughs. Every time he would do something, you'd do something asinine, and he would say, I get my laughs. And he would say, I get my laughs. And he would, and he would say, I get my laughs. And he runoff. It was great. Really? I love it. Oh, God. Good grief is so much better.

Good grief. Yeah, it is. And getting that football taken away? Classic. Classic. All right. Let's get to question number two. You've had up on the screen so you've probably had time to Google these. Prophets of the Old Testament. Which of these are prophets of the Old Testament? You've got Nahum. I'm sure I pronounce that wrong. Deborah, John, Osmo, Joel and Hezekia. Joel Osmond, you say? Yeah, Joel Osmond.

I think that's Hesekiah. Probably Hesikaya, right? Yeah, that's probably Hesikaya. I'm going to shame myself by not, I don't like the Old Testament. Well, it's got to do the New Testament. It's got some gnarly shit in there. I prefer my Testaments new. Prophets, prophets.

I'm going to pick, I'm going to pick things that sound old. How about that? There we go. Yeah, Deborah, Joel, and John all sound like new folks. I'm probably totally wrong, but that's okay. All right. Well, you guys both settled on Hezekia. Let's just get this out of the way right now.

No, Hizekia is a Judean king. John is New Testament, but Debra and Joel and Nahum. I'm really glad Osmo is not in there. Yeah, Osmo is not. It doesn't even tell me what Osmo is. usually it tells me like, oh, these three are the great. All right. Has, uh, has, Osmo the Great of the Old Testament?

No, he sounds like he sounds like he sounds like a one of those, like a orco style sidekick cartoon character. Right. Osmo is like a little, little hat floating hat with the eyes underneath it. Yeah, some little shithead you just wish wasn't in the cartoon. There you go. Anyway, I'll tell you peanuts, the Old Testament, boy, you're going biblical today. Yep. Oh, and now. And now. I'm going to go to the Alps, the Swiss Alps for this one. Just like we'll watch this past weekend on a film sack.

Okay. Oh, yes. Well, maybe there was a woman singing in the background about her favorite things. That's what I want you to do is tell me which of these are some of Maria's favorite things in the sound of music. Snowflakes, apple strudel, stockings, poodles, doorbells, and rainbows. Which three of these are things you will find in the lyrics to My Favorite Things. Shut up, I'm singing. Oh my gosh, it can't be doorbells, can it?

Narnia, narnia, narnia. Picking two again. We'll caution the chat room on not putting full lyrics of the song into the chat, maybe. Yeah, jerks. Jerks. Oh, geez, all these sound right and wrong at the same time. something apple strudel I'm not going with that night

feels too obvious right Apple strudel is good no that's not all right once again you guys both settled on stockings stockings is not

one of her favorite she hates the stockings right she's like I hate an apple struddle is it I like apple strudel that doesn't sound doorbells is there? Doorbells, yeah. Doorbells and sleigh bells and shinsle noodles. And something's nettles and poodles and rainbows. It's my mom's favorite movie of all time and I don't, I don't know enough about it, I guess. I know. She'd be very disappointed in me if I told her

my results. I've been given a score update, folks, because there's no score. So we're going to have to go right to our tiebreaker here with this one. And, uh, oh, God. Let's see. Do you remember who won last? Oh, I guess it was Scott and TV's Travis. Scott, you won last week, right? I did. Cool. So I'm going to let you pick whether you want to give the answer or do the over-under.

Oh, let's do over-under. That makes it more interesting, I think, as a final. All right. No, it does it? Yeah, it does. You'll have to live with it. All right, so, Brian, you're going to give your answer to this. Scott's going to tell us over-under.

How many wooden blocks come in the game, Jenga? oh nice i just saw your your box jenga you open it up yeah yeah i was uh i was at a store yesterday and i had a a special box it was i was at a walgreens all right it was it was a special edition jinga and so i'm not sure if it's gonna hmm i'm gonna say that has more or less special i i want to say the number is uh uh uh uh 42 42 is 42 is incorrect. Scott is the actual answer higher or lower the number of blocks in a box of

Jenga? I mean, it's been a long time. How many blockheads in a in a morning show game? Just three on this show right here. I'm going to say that's another peanuts thing. That's what, uh, yeah, it's I'm going to say it's

um, that doesn't feel that feels like too many. I'm going to say it's less. Okay. You're an idiot. great right said 42 scott said less the actual answer is 54 there are 54 in a jingle box so brian you get the uh yeah baby nicely done you deserve it means uh kev aka crazy knowers in richfield utah is going to get these prizes uh kev you won wolfenstein the old blood and super cat boy both on steen never played super cat boy

Big thanks, by the way, to King Quizumabi for sending these in. Is that like a super neat boy, but with a cat? I don't know. You'd have to win to find out, I suppose. I have zero idea. But Quizinaabe, our newest giver of code, super nice dude. Shout out to him for being so generous. There's all of our people who give us codes.

Absolutely. It's been very nice. I wish your humble bundles and you don't care about a couple of games. Send them our way. We'll give him away. It's easy. It's a piece of cake. And if you're like, wait, should I send him to Brian or Scott?

It doesn't matter. Send it to either one of us. You want to send them on Discord? Great. You want to email them? Great. It doesn't matter. You want to put them on your gravestone and make us go to your funeral and read it off the stone and then put them in the spreadsheet?

That's fine, too. We're probably not going to do that. Oh, all right. I've gone too far. Well, all those other previous things, though, those work. And please do. Give us more. Yep.

Very cool. Oh, did I say what the other person won? No. No. The other person, Jeff Rose, you're getting a copy of Song of Horror Complete Edition, also courtesy. Sounds cool. It was a moppy. Be funny if that was, uh, that'd be funny if that was tech TVs, Kevin Rose.

Or no, what'd you say his first name was? His first name was, uh, Jeff. Oh, never mind. Nothing like Kevin Rose. Nothing even close. Not even close to that name. Nothing like him. No.

Uh, Dunaway. Well done, Donoway. I feel pretty good about your win today. Even though I lost, I can't, I can't do anything but support you for your win. You know what I mean? We struggle today. It was, it was a toss-up, literally. Yeah.

We had a toss-a number up. Yeah. It was bad. Yeah. Also, that's a lot of janga pieces, guys. That is a lot of jenga pieces. It really is, and don't drop them. The record, by the way, for the highest tower created is 40 levels. Oh, my.

40 jingas high. And just standard jenga pieces, right? Not the big thick ones. Yeah, not the big ones you find it at millennial bars. That's really impressive. That's huge. That'd be a fun one to try to break that, right? That record.

That would be great, yeah. of all of the records in the record books, if the three of us were like plopped on an island with all the resources we needed and they said, you guys have to break a big record in the Guinness Book of World Records. What would you guys want to try to break?

Stuck down this island, but here, break this record and we'll let you off the island basically. That's the only way we get off. You got to break it, whatever it is. And you have the wherewithal to break any of them.

Like even, we could even fatten, done away up to be the fattest man if we wanted or whatever. It doesn't matter. I would prefer to not do that. But yeah. Largest prime rib steak consumed by a man on an island.

Got it. It's funny, you guys are going with things that you would consume. And I was thinking, like, world's largest poop. So maybe we could do both, though. Yeah, combine the two together and maybe we could do that. Yeah, let's double up. I like it. Yeah, what do you got, Scott?

What's your, what? I'm always impressed with things like things that seem stupid to make giant. like world's giant or the biggest butter or a peanut butter cup or just cassidia or whatever those things fascinate me because at scale you have to make them so differently you can't do it like you would in your kitchen it has to be right right create you know bring dump trucks of cheese an oven to put the thing in that you're going to be baking yeah so that kind of stuff is interesting to me so I would I would go for that so let's just say the world's largest butter or peanut butter cup so that done away has to say Reese's the whole time we're there

I'll just call it a peanut butter cup Solved. Fair. Ripley's, believe it or not, Charles Schultz, he was the youngest person to illustrate one of those. Oh, really? Wait, illustrate one of what? Oh, like the

Ripley's, believe it or not. Oh, the books, the Ripley's Believe it or not books. Yeah, yeah. I always forget they had books before they had a show. I always thought it was just a show. And it was always one hand push out guy. I guess my Guinness Book of World's Records or Ripley's? Well, no.

They both freak me out. The peanut stuff. The fact the peanuts started out before those cartoons was comic strips. Who did, who was the one hand push-up guy? City Slickers? Yeah.

Palance. Jack Palance. He's, didn't he host it? Believe it or not. Yeah, I used to love those. Dean Kane did for a while too, didn't he? I think so. Yeah, you did.

Right, the more modern version of it? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, you wouldn't believe or not where he is now. Anyway, There you have it. That's the fun we had today with a little game there and done away. Boy, without you, it wouldn't have been fun at all. So thanks for being here, man. Anything you want to say before I unceremoniously kick your ass? Why are you going to kick?

You don't get to answer a question with a question, you know? Nicely done, yeah. Yeah, it's a very mid-sentence. I love it. Yeah, get out of here. All right. Let's do this right here, folks. It's time for where is it this? it's time for the news brought to you by man saves woman from drowning woman doesn't return favor all right guess the movie brian my guess is titanic you are correct it is titanic but uh she does save him by going and getting a gun to shoot the um the handcuffs that he's uh like because if he

doesn't get those handcuffs off he's handcuffed to the bad guy's office and the water's filling up that's true and that is saving him technically from drowning isn't it right because He's not going to die from being handcuffed. He's going to die from drowning because he can't get in the air. I think that's a good point. This is a bad one. Yeah. Because it should be man saves woman from drowning after she saved him one time from drowning but doesn't return it the second time.

It doesn't save him the second time the most important time from drowning. Yeah. Winmagus wants to know. What is that? This door just isn't big enough. Oh, that's right. It was an axe. That's right.

Which one was the Jonathan Frakes one? Asked Winmegas. Whether you asked questions? Have you ever been in a car? What was that called? Have you ever been in a chicken? Was that believe it or not? It was a...

No, it was something else. Like in search of or exposed or something like that. Oh, Beyond Belief Factor Fiction, that's it. Oh, that's it. Yeah, yeah. The compilation. Have you ever wondered why the sun is hot? I love that super cut of all of his questions.

I think this is a huge parking area and realized you'd forgotten where you parked your car. Have we gone mountain biking? What do you want to be? when you grow up. What's the right tip? Have you called a plumber to your home lately? How superstitious are you? How much money would it take to make you spend a night in a cemetery? Would you display this as a trophy?

Do you have a pet? It sounds like one of those dates from love on the spectrum. Yeah, kind of does. Oh, my gosh. That season three kid. Is it the one who asks, do you like the zoo? Do you like this kind of? Yeah, he's amazing.

because he can't he didn't know how else to do it so and she's this you know very quiet subdued little girl and he's yeah he's like do you like the zoo yeah do you like what's your favorite animal mine's a mine's a monkey what's yours oh i love that okay what do you think of this like they just go and go and go that kid he's great Tina had to I haven't that's the only part of the show I've seen because Tina's like Brian you have to come watch this I was doing something else she's like come watch this right now and I just watch that segment it's like oh that's so sweet because it's like you didn't know what else to do.

Didn't know what else to do. This is how you make conversation. It's so good. All true. All right. Let's get to our first story. China has a big problem. They got a big problem with gonorrhea, Brian.

Big gonorrhea. Oh, no. Oh, no. Chinaria. I don't practice gonorrhea. Anyway, the study finds that gonorrhea is a huge issue in China, and they're going to have to deal with this sooner or later. Health officials have long warned that gonorrhea is becoming more and more resistant to all

the antibiotic drugs that we have to fight it. Last year, the U.S. reached a grim landmark. For the first time ever, two unrelated people in Massachusetts were found to have gonorrhea infections with complete or reduced susceptibility to every drug in the arsenal to fight it, including the frontline drug, Cephraxone. Sephtriaxone. Sure, sure. Maybe. Luckily, they were still able to be cured with a high dose of injections of the stuff, but the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention bluntly notes, I don't know if is that blunt. But anyway, quote, little now stands between us and the untreatable gonorrhea, unquote.

That's scary as hell. Sure can be if you got the gonorrhea. Well, no, I mean, if you've got the untreatable gonorrhea, right? Like, the fact that we've had gonorrhea that you could just treat with a, what is it, like a shot of something. Well, I guess it's a shot of this cetra septreaxone or whatever it is. Yeah, the point is it's just becoming resistant to it. So if you've had. It's becoming resistant.

Yeah. So, geez. know if that's one of these resistances where if you have gonorrhea for the first time you're fine you know how like if people do a lot of antibiotics they oh it develop a tolerance to it or at their strain develops a tolerance to it right however that works oh i have a medical question oh my gosh okay that i meant to put in the notes completely forgot about it i'm glad this came up i got to ask this question so may the ears of dr jerry tollbert burn right now as I

evoke his name. We'll get our answer in a chat that's marked by a purple circle. That's right. That's right. Here's what I want to know, Jerry. And you can call this one as an answer if you want. You respond however you want.

But I was told this weekend by somebody. It will not name who. But they told me that the reason baby's heads smell so good because there's a real sweet, like, babies smell great. When they're not shit in their pants, they smell great. There's something about it.

and right now we got a couple of infants in my life and so holding them I can just nuzzle them and go oh you smell so good and then somebody said you know why that is and again I'm not going to say who it was and they said because brain surgeons have shown this sounded like bullshit the minute it started coming out of their mouth brain surgeons have shown that the reason they smell good is because they're thin skin and they don't have the fully formed skull bones and stuff plates they're not for you know you have the weird little triangle of death spot that you can't touch and stuff yeah he says what you're smelling is the actual brain smells like that and it's coming up through the head and that's how you're what you're smelling is their brain and i don't believe it and they were dead serious telling me this they were like oh yeah no you're smelling their brain they just have it's a sweet smelling organ i don't think all right i'm i'm hoping that somebody proves this right because i feel like this is total BS like they smell good because you put baby powder on them and baby shampoo and you know you're keeping them clean and they're not sweaty and gross

and yeah and little babies don't have the hormonal reactions that like say a teenager has where everything stinks they they just don't have that yet it's like van van can be as dirty and as sweaty and as dirty kid as you can make him but he doesn't he doesn't get reiki armpits when he's five it's just they're different so I think that that's what it is I think it's complete BS I didn't believe in the second I heard it. So somebody somewhere, just fill us in. I know there's a flood of links. I'm not going to go read them all.

I want Jerry Tolbert, who went to medical school and graduated to tell me up or down, how much BS is this? Do brains smell good because I really, like, wanted to know? Because they do, like, Romona was here last night. And she just, I just want to just sniff her head until. they leave. She just smells so good. She's so cuddly. Now I totally want to know who told you this, by the way,

but I know you don't want to name any names. I don't want to name names. Because someone I know listens and they told me and they really, and I went, no. And they're like, I promise it's true. I'm like, well, show me it's true. Well, I'll send you some stuff, which I've not gotten yet, by the way. Do your own research.

Anyway, so this gonorrhea deal. It's really bad in China. It smells really bad, by the way, the gonorrhea deal. yeah i don't nobody wants gonorrhea uh i wouldn't want gonorrhea based on the name alone you know i don't even know what it does i haven't looked that deep but uh i know it's an s t i or d std it's a d st i would be a surgically yeah and i can't remember which is the one i know herpes is you basically just have it you just treat the symptoms syphilis and gonorrhea are treatable right with shots

right yeah they're both bacterial aren't they or maybe they're viral i don't know nothing about this world. Never had an STI in my life. Or an STD. What's sexually transmitted disease? STD. That's what I thought. STI is what, nothing? STI. Sexually transmitted Ireland,

because that's where it's coming from. I wonder what the I.O. infection, sexually transmitted infection. Oh. You know what? Maybe that sets it apart from disease, which is more untreatable. Oh, Dr. Calhoun says they changed it to STI for some reason.

Okay. So we don't do disease. We don't call it a disease anymore. So my brain saying STI was actually correct. Weird. Yes. Once in a while it gets it right. I don't know how.

Yeah. Broken clock is right twice a day. Yeah. I guess so. If I say STI enough, I'm going to get it. Let's talk about the International Space Station. Some crap fell off of it and hit a house in Florida. Oh, no.

They say May, but I don't know. They're still trying to figure out whether it happened or whether it's from the space station specifically. But move over Boeing. be pretty well I guess it'd be pretty burnt up from going through the atmosphere and stuff so I think most of the time that stuff dissipates in the atmosphere right something falls out of there but once in a while something will get through just like meteors and stuff and it says here a few weeks ago something from the heavens came crashing through the roof of Alejandro Orteo's home and NASA is on the case in all likely they've had to pause it for all this eclipse stuff though they're busy right that's right NASA NASA is temporarily pausing the case because we need to focus a a camera at the eclipse and then we'll be back to your case. That's right. 65 minutes, by the way, the current video says on NASA's website till we get to see the eclipse on video. Anyway, is it still, okay. Does it say how many more minutes still there broadcast? 65, 65, 64 now. All right. A little over an hour. A few weeks ago, I mentioned that. In all likelihood, this is a near two-pound object that came from the International

Space Station. This guy says it tore through the roof in both floors of his two-story house in Naples, Florida. Yeah. So, right, like, basically. basically just like that comic strip of right, you know, just as you imagine. Yeah, and they always say, someone confirmed this. Who was it? Oh, shit.

I can't remember who I was listening to. Some astrologist guy, astronomer guy, not astrologist. He said that if you could fire a speck of sand from far enough away at the right velocity, when it hit the Earth, it would have the power of some number of atomic bombs. Just that speck of dust.

Really? Just one grain of sand. Yeah. If you could get it through the atmosphere and all that. So Bobby is saying this is what he was planning on talking about for his segment today. So should we move to the next story and we'll pick it up when Bob is here? Yeah, we had no idea, Bobby. That's fine.

We can totally do that. Totally, yeah. Tell us more about it. Did Boeing make the International Space Station and nobody told me? Hmm. We'll have to, maybe Bobby has some information on that grain of sand thing. Maybe he does. All right.

Well, where are we now then? Oh, Harvard. Let's talk about Harvard. Let's talk about Harvard. Their school. They have removed the binding of human skin from a book in its library that was famously there for a long time. Yes, this is the one. This is the book that is bound with human skin.

And I thought, so we had this trivia class. question in which in which school library would you find the this this book that's bound with human skin and i got it confused with the um was it the book of kells in trinity college and so but we didn't we never came up with harvard as an answer so i didn't take a bad a good answer away and replace it with the uh the bad answer but yeah this is a trivia question we got recently it's the one it's the one that bruce campbell found in the basement of the of the cabin in the woods that's right it does It does have a very evil dead economic on kind of thing.

Can't help but think of that. Of the roughly 20 million books in the Harvard University libraries, that's a lot. 20 million books, geez. One has long exerted a unique dark fascination, not for its contents, but for the material which was reputedly bound in, human skin. For years, the volume of

19th century French treaties on the human soul was brought out of, sorry, brought out for show and tell. And sometimes, according to the library lore used to haze new employees. Oh, those guys, those hazing people over there at the library. Like chasing people around it with the, uh, I'm going to touch you with the skin book. I don't know.

I hope that's what they did. That's funny. I would watch an employee get haze like that. In 2014, the university drew jokey news coverage around the world with the announcement that it used new technology to confirm that the binding was in fact human skin. But on Wednesday, after years of criticism and debate, the university announced it has removed the binding and would be exploring options for a quote final respectful disposition of these human remains unquote i don't know does it is it that big a deal so you got

you know let's say it's a family member you know it's a family member's skin you're happy if they just totally fine just busted in the trash i don't care no that's i'm saying i'd rather them keep it on the book like oh don't take it off the book in the first place is my point Yeah, I'm wondering why they felt like they had to do that, right? Does it require a lot of lotion? Put the lotion on the book? I don't know. Like, I assume it's like animal skin, it's been treated and, you know, all that so that it stays there and does what it's supposed to do.

I don't know the history of like why it's that way in the first place. But they said its own handling of the book, a copy of Arsney Howseys, Harvey Say's name, Destinies de la aim for the destiny of souls or the destiny of souls. it's called, had failed to live up to the ethical standards of care and had some times used as an inappropriate sensationalistic, morbid, and humorous tone in publicizing it. Well, that I get, okay? I get it. But just leave it on and put it somewhere in a

under glass or some shit. Like, it's fine. Whoever gave the skin doesn't care. So just do it. I'm sure they don't. They haven't asked for it back. They're not looking for their skin back. They're not looking for their skin back, yeah. They don't have any skin in this game. It's a copy of the collected works of Mr. Skin. Perfect.

The hardbound Mr. Skin biography. Someone's got to keep track of that somehow. All right, we're going to take a break when we come back. Bob, you'll be here to talk about our second news story. All right? Yeah. So stick around for that. Strike all that from the record.

Pretend you didn't hear anything about the dude with the part of the space station that fell through his roof and his floors. Pretend to strike all that from the record. Yeah. Pretend you didn't hear it. I'm instructing the jury to ignore that part of the show. All right. That's right. That's going to do it for that. Let's go to the song break. Brian, bring us a song if you got one. Yeah, this is a band from Virginia, Richmond, Virginia. And another way you know is because it's right there in the name. It's a band called John Tyler Wiley and his Virginia choir. This is their first full-length album. It's called Pictures in the Dark. These guys are great. They premiered, they started touring or recording together in 2020 during the pandemic. And did it over Zoom to kind of discover their music working together on their project and stuff.

And now they're releasing their first album. It's, like you said, Pictures in the Dark is the album. The song is Flowers. Here's John Tyler Wiley and his Virginia choir. My friends, they send us flowers in the springtime For another that's no longer here to chat A rose a couple of daisies and some dandelions They send no card, there is futility in that

Dahlia can't mend a broken heart Can't fix a fractured love or rays of falling out But my friends still send us flowers in the springtime To remind me of the world's good when I doubt We sang my brother flowers in the summers Not a brother of my blood But just the same And just sunshine

It reminds me of his mother earth And that his father He is no longer in pain I think of black suits dresses and hold on a sweaty chapel Hank William's songs He smiling through tears like rain And we'll send my brother flowers

In the summers Until the day he sees his father again again I'm going to be able to I'm going to be. I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to

I'm going to my, uh, My family sends us flowers in the springtime. For the baby that's no longer on the way. and every year the same as was the last time each pedal takes the place of things to say like I'm sorry and I love you

and I know this hurts but each will tin leave from minds me still if something worse yet when my family sends us flowers in the springtime I know Rose won't bring my daughter forth to nurse But even so I still look forward to the curse Of the reminder Forgetting it would be worse My family sends me flowers in my family sends me flowers in

in the springtime to remind me of the world's good when I doubt. I didn't live anything. I'm not wishing anything. I know where everything is. We wage war on France on the morrow. And we're back. Yeah, that's a band called John Tyler Wiley and his Virginia choir from their brand new debut, full-length album, Pictures in the Dark. That is the song, Flowers. Nice. Go get it.

Yeah. Check it. Catch it. All right. Bobby's on his way. is playing right here. Science. Bob is hungry, and the soup looks good.

Bob, his mom called him Bobbert. Welcome to the show. It's nice to have you. How are you? What's going on? I'm doing great. How are you? I'm good, man.

I'm good. Sorry we almost usurped your topic by accident. No, look, I'm not here to tell you guys how to run your show. Yeah. I would have easily pivoted. You've got a backup story? I always have something to talk to them. So I was mostly saying,

whoops, I guess maybe I should get back into the habit of letting Scott know what I plan to talk about. Sometimes it's fun not knowing, but I get the value in it. I had a question, though, that speck of dust thing, is that approvable or a thing that anyone can tell me is true or not? I can't remember who said it, but somebody. Yeah, yeah, like particles, like the size of a grain of sand can embed themselves into parts of, the space, and they often do. That's why they have different shielding and very thick glass and all that kind of stuff.

But can one come, like, the, but the story that if you could launch one at the right speed, somewhere out in space, and it hit the earth and wasn't interrupted by the atmosphere. Was like let through? I was used to, yeah, the atmosphere would totally burn up in the atmosphere before it got. Right. Assuming the

atmosphere let it through, though. Is it you know, the power of some bomb or something? Well, theoretically, theoretically, yeah, I mean, because because to move it like you've got the mass of the the grain of sand yeah but then you also have to factor in the energy the kinetic energy of it moving so like all of that energy is what would cause a huge impact or explosion or something like that right if like you said if if the unrealistic situation where there is like if we remove the atmosphere right but it have to be going really fast Yeah. So, because obviously there are things like the moon or, or Mercury or Pluto that have no atmosphere that gets struck by grain of sand size things all the time and they don't, they haven't exploded yet. Yeah.

It'd have to be like speed of light, right? Yeah, and the closer an object gets to the speed of light, it's kind of, this is not accurate, so physicists don't, don't at me. but uh just this is um a very a very loose shorthand way of saying it but the the closer something gets to the speed of light sort of like the more massive it gets from a certain uh frame of reference um and so uh because of all the energy and energy and energy and mass are the same sort of thing really when you boil it down and so there's all of that so whatever energy you've put into it to get it to go that speed um that energy is going to be dissipated once it hits something so right but there's a reason why scientists would be concerned about a car-sized meteor coming toward earth oh gosh for sure yeah because even though energy and mass are the same so if it's if it's it can be moving a lot slower right than close to the speed of light to have tons of energy if it's very massive yeah exactly yeah that would be enough to tear tear you new butthole here on the planet which explains why something that is just like two inches long would go straight

through two stories of a man's house right that's right kidding yeah let's let's let's talk about that so this happened in florida and uh there was i don't know why all the articles i found i found three others that all say may have hit a house is it is it not certain that this is where it came from is that why they keep definitely hit his house he tweeted about it um well i think yeah that's the may part yeah the may part he included pictures he found it like in his basement or crawl space or something and is that how big it is it's it's like two inches i know they said it was two pounds how big was this thing it's just a couple of inches um how long but but see that goes to what they think that it is they think that it is a piece of um okay so let's back up right yeah um so

the the thing that came through this guy's house it happened on march 8th um and uh and he was wondering well what in the world is this um that just came through my house and just went straight through all the stories fortunately nobody was in the house by the way well that's not true actually his son was in the house but he wasn't home it got the it made a really loud exploding sound that was picked up on like a ring camera like everything's picked up on nowadays well yeah yeah and um and uh but it was small nobody got hit nobody was hurt thank goodness but um but uh the idea is they're wondering did this come from the space station and and it's very likely and the reason they think it's very likely is because that same day um

That same day, the U.S. Space Command detected the reentry of a piece of space debris over the Gulf of Mexico that was headed for the southwest of Florida. Basically, it was headed for Naples, Florida, where this guy's house is. And the thing that was reentering the atmosphere, they've known about for a long time. It was an entire battery palette that altogether weighed more than two tons. Oh, my gosh. Wow. A battery palette, like a palette of batteries? like a yeah yeah okay this happens the the international space station has batteries that it has to use to run and they have to be changed out just like you change out the battery in your smoke detector sure um and so does it wake them all up in the middle of the night going i'm sure these are way bigger than our you know standard uh yeah yeah and um and so and so okay so there's that i'm going to come back to that a second but you said is only a

a couple inches across but but you know you might first think but didn't they say it was nearly two pounds that's like really heavy for something that's small but again think about batteries even the ones in your kitchen drawer they're heavy yeah yeah and so the material used to make a battery is metal um and other stuff of course but um but batteries are really dense and so the batteries that they use on the space station are even more dense they're made out of even more dense metals and materials and so yeah when so what happens is we go up to the space station and to change those batteries out we have to launch new batteries in a rocket with astronauts who are going to do a spacewalk to switch the batteries out and then when they switch those the depleted batteries they they send

back down with the rocket that came up to deliver right sure sure and you know nowadays sometimes i think there are there are whole rockets that can reenter and land but usually the way that that happens the way that they they uh they bring the rocket back down with any it's not just batteries they'll just get it's like it's like they're making a trash delivery right like like they load the rocket full of a bunch of stuff that they need to get rid of yeah then send it back yeah and but it's a controlled burned reentry and they make it land somewhere in the middle of the ocean somewhere. Right. They know that that's going to happen. Sometimes Utah desert, we get that a lot down here. Sure. I don't know why, but they do. They like it.

It's a big wide area to aim for. Exactly. It needs to go down in a place where they know people aren't going to be. Right. Right. They don't want to hurt anybody with the batteries and the poo bags or whatever else is coming out of that. Right. The trash. All the space station leftovers and yeah. Yeah, exactly. They're their chicken nugget containers and stuff. like that right space nuggets space nuggets um so so what happened with this though is this was years ago this whole pallet of depleted batteries has been been flying around the earth for years actually um because years and years ago i think it was five years ago they they were they had planned to come up and change the battery here's a whole mission

that they plan these missions years in advance, right? And so they were in, it was part of a whole series of missions to change a bunch of batteries on the space station. And what happened was this particular launch that was going to get this battery

was a joint operation between the U.S. and Russia and they were going to go up in a Soyuz capsule or a Soyuz rocket. And just something happened and they had to cancel. The rocket launch got canceled. sold. So that never happened. That mission never that spacewalk to to switch them out and then send the depleted batteries back down never happened. But they still had to later switch out the batteries at a different time. But they just didn't have the space because the rocket never went up. That particular rocket never went up. They didn't have the space to send the old batteries back down on one of those future missions. So it'd been up there for a while just sitting there until they had space. Um, and then this whole program of that was being, uh, underwent to change out all the batteries.

At some point, the program halted and the battery palette was still there. It hadn't been taken care of. And so NASA basically said, well, we have to get rid of it. So, uh, I guess we're just going to push it out of the door. God, do you think that, you know, you know, you know, having space in space shouldn't be a problem. Like, you feel like you could just tie a rope to something and just let it dangle outside the, uh, yeah, we'll just, it's not going to get blown into the side.

It's, you know, it's out and it's just dangling, it's floating. Yeah, yeah, you'd think so. But I guess weight, um, that's true. And I just, is important. And the space station is moving. It's, you know. It's sort of like an aircraft, right? There's no wind or friction for it to, like, it's, like, it's,

A little bit of friction. There is a little bit. Is there? Okay. Like if you just have, if you have something tied to the side of the space station and it's doing its, it's orbit, but there's no air to go against that chunk of whatever's floating out there. Is it going to move back or maybe turn your space station around? I don't think so. I don't think there's that much. There's enough friction to over time.

You should just stay parallel with it, right? Yeah. Yeah. And there is enough friction with the very. thin atmosphere at the level of the space station. There is enough friction that over time they have to correct for it with, you know, shooting thrusters and stuff. But it's more about the weight, um, causing it to, you know, they can't, they have to get

rid of stuff and they can't just, they have to get rid of, because as they add new things, they have to get rid of things to keep that way. I mean, they have to know it's going to land somewhere. Right. So they do an analysis of these things, right? They say, okay, what's going to happen? They don't just kick it out of the door. they just say okay what's going to happen right yeah so they did that they did a whole analysis

and NASA did it determine that it's it's all just going to burn up right it'll be fine and um and there's not a lot of even whatever doesn't burn up which they think it's all going to burn up um it's all going to land somewhere small and so inconsequential pieces that'll land somewhere yeah they did a whole analysis of the orbit where it could possibly fall and I saw a map of it where it there was like nowhere it was mostly over the ocean and the only places it went over land was like unimportant places like the north of France or London so yeah who cares about that we didn't take into account that damn butterfly flapping its wings in Chile through all of our calculations off in fact the path was

only supposed to pass over the US in one place basically basically over this guy's house. And, you know, they could be forgiven for just saying, well, it's going over the U.S. Oh, no, where? Naples. Oh, okay. Sorry, sorry listeners at Naples. So it's incredibly, I mean, to their defense, I guess, it was this, the likelihood that this was going to happen was incredibly unlikely.

It was just almost so little that. you wouldn't think about it. Although some of the other space agencies, the European Space Agency and some other independent organization over in Europe, all said, NASA said it was all going to burn up, but that was never likely. Because they said that pretty much anything over a certain weight, over a certain mass that reenters the atmosphere, you can almost guarantee that 20 to 40 percent of it is going to survive in some regard. Right. The outside is going to burn off. But if it's super, super, super dense it's right wow right so so that's what happened they think so of course we have to caveat it right but all the evidence points to the funniest part of this whole thing is the is the is the tweet that the guy who's house it hit oh i didn't know about that what do yeah he made it uh let me i'll i'll give you um i'll put a link in the in the chat but um did he start growing like green mold all over his whole body once he touched it that's an ugly that's an ugly link but there it is um he said uh it was someone he he tweeted me said hello uh looks like one

of these pieces missed fort mires and landed in my house in naples tore through the roof and went through two floors almost hit my son can you please assist with getting NASA to connect with me wow like it's just so funny to me that the fact that he begins his tweet with hello like he's like like he's like he's like he's like he's just so funny to me that he's like this is this is how he's decided to figure this out like like do you think uh look um something landed on my house that i think came from the space station things are real this thing is such a burrito man look at that thing yeah yeah yeah just nasty yeah i mean i would keep that we did that oh go ahead i see tweeted to planet 4589 what is planet 458 9 yeah so i did is an official um so i i didn't

it's um it's it's it's it's the person's account is an astronomer um and i think they were they were talking about it was a tweet referencing the the the reentry of the the one that the space command knew about right gotcha okay that happened like five minutes before this thing hit his house and so he just replied to that tweet and said by the way i think you saw the thing you tweeted about just laid it through my house I think it hit my house, yeah. From a legality standpoint, if this happened to me, would I be able to keep this or do I have to turn it over? That's a really good question. I think it has probably a lot to do with, like, somebody would want to take a look at it, probably, and make sure that it's not hazardous.

But I don't know, that's a good question. I'm more interested in the insurance claim, right? Because I think you technically probably could get this covered, but the insurance company is going to have to, like, coordinate with NASA. To verify it, yeah. They're going to have to figure out what if this actually came from, not from

the International Space Station, but from something else that was launched by another government. Like, this guy is in for some some headache of a long insurance claim. Good Lord, yeah.

I've not seen J.K. Simmons being cheerful about this all-state commercial. Right. That thing is crazy. Wow. It's actually not unheard of that space debris damages things. And space debris has never killed a person, actually.

Oh, really? Oh. I don't know why. I know plain stuff has, right? Plain debris have fallen into homes and things. But people have actually been hit by space debris before. And it just didn't kill them. Famously, actually, in 1997, there's a woman Lottie Williams who was hit on the shoulder.

by a piece of a Delta 2 rocket that re-entered. Jeez. And apparently was not injured. Really? Wow. She got lucky. That's great. No kidding. In 2002, there was a six-year-old boy that got hit by a 10-kilogram piece of aluminum from a satellite.

So these are astronomical odds, right? Yeah. Especially like this one, this space turd, the fact that it hit this guy's house in Florida, if you do the extrapolate the math outward and say well what's the likelihood is his house of all physical homes on the planet would have been hit i mean the odds are insane he'll never win the lottery is what i'm getting at or or he has the best chance of all i think he spent it is my point this is it oh this was his luck you're done yeah this is one and a billion uh chance yeah i have this theory that if you have something really unlucky or lucky happened to you you're out you can never win a lot

It's just the way it is. That's funny. All random occurrences are separate events. And the dice have no memory. The cards have no memory. That's right. They call that the gambler's fallacy. That's right.

Oh, red, it's been, this roulette wheel has come up red. The last 10 spins, it's totally going to be black this time. It has to be. It's been holding the black back. Right. Yeah, exactly. Always been on black. If you Google, or if you go on Wikipedia, actually, and look up list of space

to refall and incidents, then you, you get a whole list of all of them that have happened over the years. They probably a list of airplane ones too somewhere. And those almost are always those weird like the blue water toilet things, right? The big ice chunks. That would scare the living shit out of me if that crashed through my house. Be just like, we're all going to die. Do not touch or lick the giant blue thing.

Well, that's great news for everybody except that guy in his house. So I'm sure his insurance will probably cover it. Acts of God and all that or whatever we do now when we put it on our policy. Do we still say that on the policy? Because it used to. They would say act of God. It's so it's so denominational, you know? It really is.

Like what about an act of Vishnu or an act of Allah or. Maybe they should say act of a god. Acts of a god. Like natural occurrence, although you could argue, well, this is a. You could say, well, this is a natural occurrence. Well, not really. It's a space station that a man, you know, that we put up there that's a natural.

Aren't we part of nature, though? I mean, I guess so. So I guess our space burrito is as natural as anything else happening. Well, anyway, this is all fantastic information about a story that we were just going to rip through and not care that much about. Yeah, this made a lot more interesting, a lot more fascinating. Yeah, you brought some hard light to the room. Thank you for doing that.

Bobby, you do a lot of science coverage on your show. Why don't you tell people what it is, where it is, and what you guys are talking about this week. Well, our podcast is all around science and you should check that out but I have something to say real fast about upcoming TMS Vegas. Have we talked about the board game

sign up in a while? Oh, we haven't. No, we should mention that. You should bring it up. Yeah, I've looked at it this morning and it looks like there's more board game sessions people have put on there and more people signing up, but certainly not as many people that it sounds like are going to be there. But if you go,

I know that if you go to the TMS Vegas Discord channel it's in the pins there I don't know where else you have it's on Viva TMSVegas.com as well let me make sure it's a the spreadsheet

is a Google Sheets thing that's all the events that are going on also but one of the tabs at the bottom is the board games sign up the big blue button on Viva TMS Vegas that says board games sign up and it takes you right to what you need Yeah, so you should check that out

I know I have a full group of people who are going to play Evolution with me So I'm thinking about bringing a game called Gloom fairy tale gloom that you guys would probably really enjoy playing that That's a storytelling game is what it really is It's like a card game but it's a storytelling card game And you what do you is there improvisational storytelling by the player So how that works? Basically yeah

The idea is that you all have a family and they're all based on these fairy tale characters, but it's very dark. And the goal is you're supposed to make your family of fairy tale characters have the worst life and death possible. So what you're doing is you're playing cards on your family to make them have a miserable time. But other people are trying to beat you by making your family have a good time. But the storytelling aspect of it is that you're supposed to every time a card is played, you're supposed to add on to the story that's

being told about the families and all of the things that are going on, you know, to justify what you're doing. Okay. Someone in the, a bunch of people on the chat are responding. They love that game. Yeah, it's super fun, really fun game. I'm thinking about bringing that as well. That's cool.

All right. Yeah, I'm, I, since I don't know what might be going on with me and editing and preparing for the show, I'm leaving myself open. going to say, oh, you got a space open? Great. I'm going to sit down and play some... Yeah, I think I might even do that with this game, not put a sign up on the thing. I might just bring it and see how it feels. Yeah. I'm just going to float. I like floating. I like floating too. And I've already committed myself to one game. So, there you go. I will float.

But everybody else should sign up for games. Get in there. If you want us to float to where you are, you'll need to sign up. Although you could probably float as well. There'll be lots of, lots of opportunities, even for watchers who are like, maybe I don't want to play. but then you're like, oh, maybe I do, and then you can hop in. We'll make sure there's room. And happy Eclipse Day. I'm sure you guys have already mentioned it. Oh, of course.

We have indeed. I've got my glasses right here. Can't wait. NASA says 35 minutes, 20 seconds until they show it or whatever. I don't know. I assume they're going to show it as it transitions, right? We're going to start with a little bit off and then. Yeah, exactly.

They'll show from one of the best places of totality and just have it go, to get the little corona thing on the outside. All those night attack fans are in Austin. Isn't it like raining there or something? Yeah. Oh, is it? I know that like, yeah, there have been a few places that are cloudy, unfortunately.

Yeah, I feel bad for all the people who made that trip. Well, I think they, if it wasn't clear. They were going for, they were going for Founders Day, though. I don't think they were. That's true. That's true.

Yeah. I drove to, I drove to the airport over the weekend for Lyft that, he basically six years ago started planning for this and he's like all right um let's get a hotel here let's get a hotel there as soon as hotels became available he got those with refundable you know refundable hotels got multiple flights booked for each of those as soon as those became available before prices got checked up rental cars you can wake up in the morning and decide which way you're going he he basically looked at the four week forecast and said all right let's cancel the one to

Austin, let's cancel the one to blah, blah, blah, and he's stuck with Indianapolis, and I don't know. I don't know what the weather is like in Indianapolis, but it looks like I've got blue sky, so let's hope it sticks for the next couple hours. Yeah, it's nice and sunny and clear here, but what's our percentage again here in the Intermountain West? I don't know what we get to see. 67% I think for us in Denver. We get about 75%. I got some glasses.

We're going to take a look. All right. Well, may your eyes handle it, I guess. Thanks. something like that. All around science, everybody, go check it out. Available now. Wherever get your podcast, Bobby, have a fantastic week.

We'll see you soon. See you, Bobby. All right. Yeah, you get 50%. 50? 50. Lame. We get 65, not a whole lot better.

So California, you get in what, like 30, something like that? Probably, yeah. Oh, yeah. Let's see, Los Angeles. 48.6% in Los Angeles. San Francisco gets about a third. Okay. So it seems more like a longitudinal change than a latitudinal change, right?

Like if the lower you are, the more, yeah, because that's a small jump. Atlanta's getting, what, 84% it looks like, is what this says? Pretty good. 84.7. Yeah. I like those odds. They're not odds. Enjoy that, red fraggle and not a tonne.

Indeed. All right, that's it. That's the show. We're done. There will be a Monday show tonight. Check it out. Carter and I'll be here at 5 or sorry 6 p.m. going live and there may be some other stuff during the day. Don't know yet. We're working on when we're going to be doing our monthly stream for art and stuff like that. That's all coming up. Oh, yeah. Cool. So watch for that. And all those details can be found at frogpans.com slash podcast. There's even like a link to the calendar, which I never mentioned that has all the upcoming live show times. So you can check that out. I think that's all I have. Brian, do you have anything else? before we go. I got nothing else. I did a Millennium Falken stream over the weekend.

I've got a couple more here to do maybe this week. So we'll see. As we start getting closer and closer to the Vegas event, it pulls me away from other things. So I still have a video game cabinet that needs to be decorated. Oh, look at that trophy. That's the prize for the winner. Night one trophy, not third night trophy this time.

Get it right away. That's right. Got to beat Scott at Joust. gotta beat me at Tron Dude you wrecked me in Tron Just wrecked out I looked out

Horrible and neither of our sticks worked Exactly right in that game No no so it was like it was really was just a matter Of which game came up first It was like okay All right tanks I can drive a little bit But it's really all about the

Poo pooh pooh pooh I kind of want to call them early and go How's your Astroids Deluxe machine Because I really want to play Is it right now? Could you put some could you turn it off for the next three weeks and just make sure nobody spills a pilsner on there put a big police tape over that for a minute just for us thanks appreciate it uh that is it we are going there claire first night or not first night tuesday night well that'll be first night for a lot of people so oh wait not tuesday sorry it's monday night it's the kickoff event it's the welcome reception yeah so it's our first first technical night and red fraggle again is going to be managing the um the brackets and keeping track of who's playing against who.

She's awesome, helping out with that. Awesome. Thank you again, Amy, for jumping in and offering to help with that. Sweet. That's going to do it for us. Frogpants.com slash TMS is our website. Use it at your leisure. It has links to everything we're doing.
