The morning stream. What do you say? We get nipple to nipple. Hello and welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for May 7th, 2024. Scott Johnson here, Brian Nibbitt there. Oh, oh hi.

Hello. I feel like I finally have a little energy today after the trip. It just, I've been so tired. just hammered yesterday i was kind of worthless i was just sort of like i know over the weekend same for me man i was useless i uh uh just exhausted yeah couldn't do it so finally getting a little bit of wind and uh that's good also the weather's clearing that's nice we need some sun let's get some sun in here what is this may snowfall BS i didn't sign up for this right yeah we didn't we fortunately haven't gotten anything like that and actually looks like the wind

I'm looking at the outside cover cam here. Yep. Oh, cover cam. The acue weather cover cam. And currently no, very, very little wind, only a couple leaves are moving. But boy, yesterday, trees coming down, one around a block from me. Basically, my house on the next block, their tree split. Like one part of it just pulled down right down the middle of the trunk.

That's a nightmare. It is a nightmare. No cars underneath it. It went into the street, which is better than, like, landing on the house. But aren't you in the middle of doing a fence thing with your neighbor? And all this wind is kind of ominous. Totally. Totally in the middle of that.

And the posts are up. The concrete is set. My job today is going to be to pop out there and just drill the, we took the fence panels off. I think I'm just going to be able to put the fence panels back on. Beep, peep, peep, peep. And I'm going to be done with it. That's the sound of, beep, beep, beep. Yeah, that's the sound my Milwaukee cordless drill makes.

I like it. There's something about that sound, the real sound, and you mimicking it, that it puts me in a place. Yeah, it puts me in a special place. Makes me want Steve to come over and finish my bathroom. Anyway, it's us, it's TMS. It's, you know, like we say, it's a Tuesday. We've got stuff to talk about. You know, Mike Petulik, that guy, that dude.

Oh, that guy. That guy. I forgot to bring it. Shit. I left it upstairs again. The whole point of this was I was going to show off his Wastlander thing, or his, sorry, fallout thing. So he made, he printed that, the Walton Goggins, yeah, the ghoul, and it's amazing, but I have some sad news. So I don't know, you may be, you'll know about this because you do 3D printing.

Yeah. The hat looked kind of two-tone, and he said, oh, it was two kinds of filament, so it's black filament, and the hat, and right down the, well, not down the middle, but sort of cut through it, where one is shiny and the other is more matte and it looked like two different kinds. It was fine. It didn't matter. It all made a solid hat. And as far as I'm concerned, that's kind of wastelandy and cool anyway. Sure.

But Taylor was like marveling at how cool this thing was. Uh-huh. She was over yesterday. And she's like, Dad, this is so awesome. She's like rolling around her hand. I guess it was Sunday. And the hat fell off. She didn't know it wasn't attached.

It was right because it was just. Just resting, you know. Just resting on his head. Yeah. Which you want that because you want them to be bald sometimes. You know, my role play goes deep. Anyway, the hat falls off, hits the floor, and breaks into two completely distinct pieces,

one of the one filament and one of the other filament. Right down, well, so it was like a little weak point between the two filaments when you had to change roles. Yeah, so I reached out to him about glue recommendations, but maybe you'll know, too. Like, what do you think is a good glue? Yeah, I mean, cyan acrylic glue, my guess is, unless you really, really want to keep the two-tone look,

I think Mike is already printing a new hat for you to send to you. And if he's not, I'm happy to do it. Oh, maybe that's true. He might be doing that. It's like it'll take, you know, it's like, you know, you've got this thing that's kind of glued together. It may not set right because it's filament. And sometimes it doesn't break clean.

And so putting the two pieces back together might have a little bit of, space between them if the strands basically of filament are pointing out then you can't really get a clean

rejoin. There is some hairline ones between the two pieces that's actually connected by them which is a little bit weird and that would be hard

to, I guess I could trim that and sand it but... I mean, if he doesn't offer to print one for you and I can't imagine he won't then let me know

and I'll print one for you. Here's what I'm amazed by. Yeah. he handed that to you on Tuesday at the beginning of the board game deal. Eastman released that model, I think, on Sunday. Whoa. So he cranked that thing out as soon as Eastman released it or announced it or put up the STLs for it. And that's how quickly, that's how quickly Mike operates.

Unless he got it somehow early. I don't know. I mean, I'm on the, I think I'm on the same Patreon level as my. Mike, baby. I don't know for sure. So he worked for Interplay back when Fallout 1 and 2 were made and was with

the guys who went on to make the Wasteland 3 game. So he's been around those people. It's possible he's got some insider thing going on. Could know somebody yet. Yeah, I mean, he couldn't know Eastman Eastman might have given in an early. I guess we'll find out, right?

Yeah, he'll let us know. But Mike's awesome. What a cool dude. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, I'll show that tomorrow. I forgot to bring it down. It's pretty rad, though. It's very, it's like Walton Goggins is here with me, you know?

I know. It looks just like him, just like the, um, the, uh, Tio, uh, from Breaking Bad looks just like. Eastman does such amazing work, man. Eastman is, uh, one of those people, if you are a 3D printer, um, and you like busts of, um, movie and TV characters and Marvel comics characters. I don't think he can, they can do DC anymore. I think he got the, got the cease and desist from, uh, from DC. but eastman is a great support on um on patreon totally worth it's really good it's interesting

dc's the same they're they're the ones that gave me a cease and desist for those fat heroes they did years ago i think dc is just more litigious than marvel which is interesting because you'd think marvel would be given their disney you know ownership now i don't know you'd think right yeah yeah well he's he's great and this this thing is impeccable i freaking love it for sure Hat be damned. Hap be damned. But, yeah, I mean, the cyan acrylic, the CYA glue, you're the cover your ass glue basically. Yeah.

I'm trying to think it's something Smith, Bob Smith Industries is, the stuff is the best. And Bill will back me up on this, that the Bob Smith Industries glue is the best glue to pick up. I've never even heard of the name. Bob Smith Industries. Yeah. BSI-Inck.com. Yeah. Your adhesive company for over 30 years.

I want to know more about this Bob guy. Bob Smith glue. It's glue so good I put my unremarkable name on it. Hell yeah. Let's see. Several. Is there a thing about the guy? Oh, there's no about us.

I want to learn more about Bob Smith. Yeah. Yeah, the stuff you want. Sitting around making glue. That's awesome. Bob Smith C.A. glue. Because there's the stuff.

that comes with the glue and the spray that is the insta set, which basically is like, yeah, I don't want to have to sit there and hold this part for a minute. Like, I want you to instantly set that stuff. Yeah, that's cool. And Bill's a fan. He knows Bob Smith. I really knows of the Bob Smith stuff.

He absolutely knows of the Bob. Yeah. I think the reason I have, the stuff I have is because Bill suggested it. Have we mentioned how cool it was that he came to Vegas? It was great to see Bill. Oh, my gosh. Absolutely, yes. And Brittany, it's great to see her.

And Britt, yeah, yeah. I'm going to figure out a way to, I've got some ideas on how to incorporate them into Taskville a little bit more next year. Nice. Basically, if we can get every member of the TMS guest host or guest segment host team there, then I'll figure out a way to make it all happen. Awesome. We got to get Travis in there. I want to drag Dunaway out.

We've got to get Oh, Travis, you mean, you mean Mick Fleetwood is who you're talking about. I mean Mick Fleetwood, yes, exactly. Good gosh, dude. It's the hat, it's the hair, it's the beard, it's the massive weight loss. He lost like 120 pounds or something. He looks amazing. It looked great.

It looked great, man. You and your beard wasn't even purple. It was fantastic. All right. Oh, we got a call. Remember when we talked about Ugly Muffin, was a great band name it was a yes i can't remember i can't remember anything about ugly muffin the context of talking about ugly muffin yeah it was something i don't even know how it came up but

somehow we ended up with hey that'd be a great band name and then we sort of moved on well somebody wrote in and uh talked a little bit more about how that might work in a concert setting so here's that call take long and ballad uh few weeks behind but y'all were talking about who uh scott's band ugly muffin would open for it's pretty obviously meatloaf and corn but then encore by cake so I made the mistake the other day this reminds me not mistake but I said online boy I really like cake the band sure and nothing I would think I thought that was the most innocuous thing you could say yeah yeah and I got just buried by people saying well it would be great if their drummer wasn't a pedophile or something like oh no no

Do they have a... So they've got some deal. Oh, crap. Some kind of like, I don't know if this is old news. I hadn't heard about it. Why does everything good have to be ruined by men being dicks? No kidding. Oh, here it is.

Former cake drummer gets 15 years to life for child molestation. Oh, God. 48-year-old Peter Ivan McNeil. How do you afford your incarcerated lifestyle? It was... It was, uh, let's see. 2009 is when it happened. Oh.

A guy who wears an orange shirt and orange pants. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's a little jacket. Straight jacket. Let's see. Yeah, this is a while ago and I just never, I didn't hear about it. They're still touring. I didn't hear about this either.

Damn it, that sucks. We'll get a new drummer in there. Yeah, they got a new guy, I think. So it's all fine. Oh, Travis says he was the drummer for only three years, 2001 to 2004. So it was after like, it was a, even after the like motorcade

of generosity when did motorcade motorcade of generosity came out hello um 94 yeah exactly

so that's that's my cake yeah yeah I don't know about your cake but that's our cake back then okay fashion nugget and prolonging the magic yeah so I mean come on yeah

the eye the beholder dude that was a thing, right? Was that Bungy? No, what was that? Who did that? That was... Or am I thinking, am I confusing it?

Hold on. I had to be a holder game. I can't remember now. That's what I'm... No, it's, yeah, not Bungy, but... Oh, Westwood Studios at the time, this was... This is pretty old. Oh, yeah, it's like a dungeon crawler, uh, turn-based thingy.

It's on Steam still, looks like. Yeah. Oh. Oh, I take it back. You can no longer buy it on Steam, but it used to be on there. If you own it on Steam, you can still play it. Well, there you have it. There you have it.

You know what game I really like, Scott, is getting taxes done. Oh, yes. Good a great game. That's a game I'd say play before anything else. It's a little bit late, though, if you haven't gotten them done or unless you file an extension or whatever. This is the first year and three years that I didn't do an extension because my accountant was late. Oh, wow. Okay.

Yeah, I feel pretty good about it. that we did that pulled it off somehow got it all on time and it's already spent our uh return on uh fence and uh yeah yeah i hope i just spent i just spent mine on a new uh tablet and pencil new apple product yeah i'll just pretend that that was from taxes and nothing else um personally thanks god johnson for for keeping the lights on here in our weird spaceship donut with his purchase of a new iPad Pro. So I didn't see any of that, but did he do the, it's all like they usually do, he walks around.

Yeah, yeah, they zoom from person to person and stuff like that. I like the, I do like the highly produced. You know, there's something fun about, we'll get the keynote thing in a month, we'll get them on stage with the big screen behind him. And now here's the Jonas Brothers. All of a sudden, I'm, uh, listen, I'm Lauren Michaels. Here's,

exactly yeah stone squirrel said it just after I did yeah yeah that's pretty good that's a good that's a good that's a really good there but uh sure both are running successful organizations both are um both are the least funny thing about the things they run right and their voice is fun to make fun of yeah but they clearly know what they're doing and they're profitable human beings so congratulations they belong together yeah uh we got one more thing to do here before we get to the news. We haven't gotten the news in a long time.

So excited about that, but let's do one of these. Yesterday is history today. So I'm literally going to take yesterday, this day in history from yesterday, which matches our better. Oh, that's more fun than today's history yesterday. Yeah, unless there was a good one. But yesterday there was one that was big and I missed it. And so I wanted to mention it.

It was yesterday, this time in the year 1937, when the famously, the German airship Hindenberg, exploded in flames in Lakehurst, New Jersey, killed 35 people of the 97 on board. I didn't realize a bunch of people survived that. I thought they all did. I didn't either. I thought everybody, like, you look at the photo of that thing, and it's like, how could anyone survive that?

How did they get to the ground with that thing? I guess it was pretty close to the ground, and they just jumped. Must have, right? Because that thing is all on fire. Oh, the humanity. Right. If you're going to yell, oh, the humanity, you expect everyone to die, but I guess only.

only about the not quite half of them did anyway and then one person on the ground Indiana Jones and his dad survived so that was good and the and the Nazi he threw out on the luggage and the Nazi he threw out yeah exactly you saved that Nazi's life wow way to go indie way to go Indiana uh we named the dog Indiana so anyway one on the ground died uh I don't I didn't remember that either I thought it was everybody on board who died so there's some I learned a little something but anyway that was that's a big that's a big historic like moment yeah that's when we decided as a people that's where the timeline splits and in an other dimension timeline we have dirigible and big huge flying balloon type things transit uh you and i are going to Vegas in a giant

balloon in that other reality that's right in the fringe reality yeah absolutely because they gave it up that was like the point where they said no more of these right that's right yeah exactly doesn't the lead zeppelin uh the first lead zeppelin album cover had the indenberg on it didn't it i don't remember now there was something like that um yeah yeah it's the yeah is that right that's right yeah it's the black and white um that's pretty cool yeah well there's there's your there's your fun look at kind of interesting i mean all right so that album came out 71 70 79 69 came out before we were born and um that was like 30 two years after

the actual disaster. So that would be like somebody doing using the 9-11 Twin Towers for their album cover in like about 10 years. It still feels like it might be too soon. Yeah, that was a little bit. I guess that's more of it.

This is more of like just an accident that killed a bunch of people as opposed to a terrorist attack. That's true. That's true. This was more akin to like a mini-titanic kind of problem. Right. Yeah, there we go. Yeah. Yeah. Not that anyone one wants either of those things uh well anyway there you go that's some fun stuff this morning

now about some uh some newsy news here that sound familiar do you in by the way i freaking love the rima williams soundtrack that right there i heard that like at the very beginning boring ass shots of new york for their for their opening credits but i'm hearing that i'm like my god i am instantly transported back to the mid-80s watching the stamp. It's actually really good, that riff. Shouldn't you're amazing?

No, I'm better than that. Women should be at home making babies. Brian, tell us who the news is. You don't watch it. Yeah, you got to get to it. All right, the news is brought to you by Group spends nine hours returning jewelry. This is probably an easy one.

I already did this one, right? This was the goal. He's lower the rings again. I wanted to throw you. This was my goal is to throw you, making you think, oh, he's already done this, or has he done this? It didn't work, because you got it right. Yeah, you've got it right. But I thought I could fool you because you'd think, certainly he won't do it this twice.

You certainly would not. No, Scott and his ironclad memory and... Yeah, of course not. No, I knew I doubled this one. I just wasn't sure if it would trick you or not. I was hoping it would trick you and it didn't trick you. Can't trick me. Can't be tricked.

Untrickable. Here's a story for you. a hospital story. Hospital staff plead with bite victims to please stop bringing your snakes to the emergency departments. No, wait. All right. I feel like we've done this story before, too. Have we done this story? We might have.

We talked about like how they were bringing them to show. This is the snake which done bit make. Is it poignant? Yeah, we did. Oh, we did do this. You're right. We did it before we left. It was right before TMS, Vegas. We can't be. No, we can't be held responsible for

forgetting things we did right before. Yeah. How are we supposed to remember this shit? Did we say it was Australia? I don't know if we did that. It's in Australia. It was Australia. Yeah. And you guys are weird over there. We get it. Yeah. Well, then moving on to this story, I know is new. Yeah. Nearly $40,000 in cash was found in restrooms in a Marysville business or businesses. Yeah. Ooh. Ooh. It's a lot of cash. Yeah. No kidding. Let's go on vacation there. That sounds like a great place to go to the bathroom. It's the toilets or ATMs, basically. It says here, money mystery in Marysville's police trying to figure out where nearly 40K came from.

More than $25,000. Why do they say more than 40K? Well, anyway, more than $25,000 is found with the rest of doom of the Avalon Theater on Saturday. And then Thursday night, more than 12 grand was, oh, I see why they did it. That's why. It was found in a KFC on Delaware Avenue. Investigators said they're pretty sure the discoveries are related, but they don't know why the cash is there or where it came from. quote, we were trying to figure out whose money it is and what possible connection it could be

to anything that we could see in the city, says Marrival's police captain, Nate Sacks. Nate Sacks. Nate Sacks. They have a mall store. You can go buy a Nate Sack. Very comfortable. That's probably the most G-rated thing you could have said about Captain Nate Sacks. That's right.

People wanted me to go, I was trying to think of, I can't think of the name of it. I was going to say, I went, I went that lawnmower movie by, uh, who's the director that made the lawnmower movie? What's wrong with me? He also made Dune 84. Oh, you're talking about, uh, George, uh, George Miller. No, not George Miller. Oh, I'm sorry, no, David Lynch.

David Lynch. Yeah. So everybody wanted me to go, what's the dark one with the, uh, uh, shit? I can't think of the name of it. There's one that's really violent and gross and hypersexualized, and then there's the lawnmower one. And to me, those are the two opposites of film making. the one wild at heart was pretty

bloody and that's pretty racy yeah what's the one with shit I can't think of shit today this is a day of not thinking a shit well anyway it doesn't matter the bills were found in multiple denominations

like five's tens and even $100 bills police are urging anyone who might find other cash dumps to contact them I mean I'm sure they will yeah these seem criminal don't you think like this not somebody just leaving their money it's too much well it doesn't say and i'm sure they didn't want to say how um they were found because that might you know they if somebody's going to come forward they need the proof as to well all right what in what vessel was the money stored um if it was in a wallet

in the restaurant of the avalon theater i don't know how you fit 25 000 into a wallet but uh no um you know was it in a was it in a bag a cloth sack with dollar signs printed on the front of it with a burglar mask on the floor. It makes you wonder just because I think you're right, they're being cagey because they want to solve this. Yeah. Otherwise, they

would say... And they probably don't want internet sleuths to get involved. So it's like, was found in the rafters of the Avalon theater bathroom or whatever. Pretty sure I have less patience for internet sleuths than almost anything in the world. I hate

them, dude. Whenever a documentary starts talking to them as if they're an authoritative aspect of any of this, unless you're doing a documentary about how bad internet sleuthing is, that's interesting. Bring that on. I'll watch that. But incorporating them as a, you know, on the same level as people who went to school for this sort of thing and know what they're doing and didn't just watch 10 seasons of LA law or law and order. Yeah, exactly. By the way, I just thought of a new, this is completely unrelated. I just thought of a new justification for my tablet purchase earlier. Oh, good.

Okay. Because I've already given you a few justifications. Here's my new latest. Latest justification, you guys, this is just in. Back in my Waycom days before this thing just kind of usurp that whole thing and my waycom is gathering dust somewhere and I've sold multiple Waycoms because I don't use them anymore. Those things were way more money than what I just said.

I'm still spending less money for the top. end with the new pencil the whole thing the wake home tablet with the like the screen and stuff in it which is what you want yeah and that doesn't have the the the resolution or the the mat screen business or any of that yeah and plus you have to have a computer to run the damn thing and you're paying way more for that thing than i do for this so i just again feel perfectly justified which is why i keep coming up with these excuses because clearly i'm confident in my justification uh all right Anyway, if you find any cash while you're in Marysville, where even is this? Where's Marysville?

There's one in Washington. There's also one in Ohio, and I don't know which one. I guess I could go to the link of the ABC 6 on your side. It feels like an Ohio story to me. Oh, it is Ohio. There it is on the article. Marysville, Ohio. Oh, right there.

Marysville, Ohio, right there. Yeah, I missed it. Let's see anything else about it? No, that was it. I like the person at the police station who's in charge of laying out all of the money so they can take a picture of it for the news and for the articles and stuff like basically arranging every bill and even sort of them by which ones are you know post multicolour bills versus the ones that are just green and yep yep do you have any of the old I don't have any old bills anymore I don't have many bills anyway but sure I do somewhere yeah I might in one of my many, many places I hide money in this house. Yeah, because Brian's paranoid, the government's coming. Right.

No, I've converted that old into go bullion. I don't have any more this stuff. I do have this wad here. Oh, your wad, yeah, which is the old bills. It's fake, though. I wish this was real. This would pay for that tablet. I know.

That would be, we have to figure out a way to incorporate that into a task in Vegas. Oh, that's a great idea, dude. That's awesome. Or we just take it. We make bets on what the person does when you leave it in a casino, what the first thing they do is. Yeah. Oh, yeah, dude. And then just watch them walk up to that thing.

That's a great idea. Well, I don't know. Because I don't want to lose this. That's why I don't want to just give it away. Right. Well, we positioned several large tadpoolers around the said entrapment plant. That's a good idea. I like it.

These are just on Amazon. You want to get some, like, it's basically movie prop money is what this is. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know why I love this stuff, but it's like five bucks or ten bucks or something, or is it more for that? This may have been like ten. It wasn't much. It was pretty cheap.

Can we put it on a fishing line? Yeah. Have it on the ground. So, you know, they see it down there. There's no way they're going to see the fishing line in the casino carpet. And you just like slowly pull it. And you're trying to guess how far you can make them go before they're like, okay, well, somebody's playing a joke on me. Yeah, sign me up for your prank YouTube channel.

This is, this is my cat. But you know there's going to be at least five feet where they're still going to go for it like, that's a lot of money. It's moving away from me, but I still want it. Yeah, I want that money that clearly isn't tied down to anything, and I'm still going to chase it. Because it's big money, you need money. Yeah, exactly. It's Vegas. You know what that money's going to do.

No. You don't know where it's been. It's been in some hookers G string, but whatever. Probably, yeah. Um, oh, I, shit. I totally forgot to tell you about this. Yeah. This dream I had, because what you were describing sounds like a dream.

So this is a dream I had last night. And you were in it, but you were as much a victim as I was or anyone else. You were just like, there was no significance to you being in my dream. You just happened to be in it. Or maybe there is, and we'll figure it out. There were a few people that I knew, but there was a lot of family, and it was you and a few tadpoolers, I think. Anyway, the way the dream went is we lived in a government reality thing where, mostly it's the same as we all live now

except there was one requirement every 30 days everybody who was in whatever country it was you are required to wear a hat and on the side of the hat on the left side you had to hang

a fresh uncooked chicken leg oh god okay so like just a drumstick just a raw Just a raw drumstick And you had to wear that for 30 days You can't take it off

Oh, I thought this was for one day Every 30 days you need to No, you need to do this every 30 days No, you wear it for 30 and you wait for it to Rot basically, right? Yeah, and then the end of the 30 days Which is well rotten by then Yeah

You get a new one and then you just keep going like that Yeah Do you get a new hat? Because that hat is going to get pretty gross after a month of having a rotting chicken legs stuck in the side of it. While it wasn't clear that you had to, I would agree with you that that would be the way to go. But it was very odd, and I still quite don't know what to make of it. Chicken legs rotting, everybody had to have it. If you didn't, you were arrested, Brian.

You'd be thrown in jail. Did you get to choose the hat? Could I have a wider brimmed hat to just make sure I don't get any chivaled? chicken rot juice on the side of my face? Well, it appeared in the dream that you didn't, that hats didn't have to all be the same, because you were wearing something very different than I was, than Kim was.

Everybody had different hats. I want the urban sombrero is what I want. Yeah. The rule seemed to be just you had to have a piece of chicken and it had to rot all month. And everybody had to do it. So you're just in public. Full size or were drummets allowed?

No, full size, like a big old mic. Full size. No drumettes. Yeah. No like turkey leg at Disneyland. And not like that big, but like, you know, kind of middle range, about like that. And you'd hang it there and everybody was fine with it. We would be at a public place.

Like I remember in the dream, there was a subway for some reason. We were all not the restaurant, but the transportation tube. And we were all in there. And it was just everyone packed in holding bars and we all had rotting chicken. Just all chicken legs. Yeah. It was weird, dude. Yeah.

I think if someone were to give me the choice of what I have now, which is not really ever remembering my dreams or having dreams like you like you do and i and i'm forced to remember them yeah i think i've got it pretty good i'll i'll take my uh my bliss of uh not remembering my dreams and who knows what happened in them and i'm fine and uh yeah i think you you are correct in all of the things you just said you're the right one here would you i mean that's a thing right because sometimes these things can lead to really funny illustrations of yours. I'm sure you've taken some of these things

and turn them into drawings. Oh, yeah, a few times, yeah, sure. So would you, you probably would not trade your weird-ass dreams for not dreaming at all or not, at least not remembering your dreams. No, I wouldn't, but I also have had nights where I didn't dream at all. And when those happen, it's very welcome.

I like those. Sure. But there are times, like I just drew something yesterday that was based on a dream. Look at this. Let me show you this. Okay. This is called...

Speaking of which is the dream box handy? I mean, can we look up raw chicken legs and hats or something? Oh my gosh. Can you imagine if that was even in there? Imagine hats are in there. Hats probably represent something. Probably. Like in general.

Yeah. The chicken leg part. Holy shit. Like who's doing that? Probably not. You're just hungry for barbecue. So this little alien guy did last night, and I call it First Contact. This was based on the dream from the previous night.

I like his blue nipples. He's got nice blue nipples. I almost had one of his tentacles rubbing. He's got purple nerples, basically, is what he's got. Yeah, yeah, watch out. He's coming to your town next. All right, how about this one? Yakuza lieutenant in Tokyo.

So one of these mobster fellers, you know? Yeah. Was arrested in Tokyo for stealing Pokemon cards. Oh, gosh. Wow. Seems like it's like getting... Just busted that snorlax ring wide open. That's right.

It's like getting Post Malone. What's his name? Who is the famous mobster in Chicago? What's wrong with me? Al Capone. Post Malone. Post Capone.

I think we need... It's a kind of cheese, isn't it? Post Capone? Yeah. Post Capone. Yes, exactly. I like my soft cheese. It's like Post Capone.

Because they got him on tax charges, right? Yeah, tax evasion, yeah. Like a silly thing compared to the real hardcore crimes he did? This is their way of like, all right, we got him, you know, we didn't get him on all the, like, the motorcycle theft or the money laundering or anything, but we got him on stealing that jiggly puff. That's right. That shiny jiggly puff card. I wonder what the hot, like, big money maker Pokemon card is now. It's probably like.

It's probably, I'm sure there's like a Mue 2 or something. I think those, uh, yeah, there's a reason those things are, are, you know, like the upper echelon of Pokemon card. Do you ever play the real card game? No, I've never played the real. No, not even... Like Tristan and I, we would basically, when he was a little kid and he wanted to collect him, we would basically play it like war. And we'd divide his deck in half, we'd flip him up, and it was, you know, resource card,

but then we'd flip up a Pokemon card, and whatever his power value was what we would treat as the war, the numbers you'd battle against each other. Nice. Not really, so not the real rules, but you had your fun anyway. Not even close to the real rules. I started reading those rules and I, Scott Johnson, that instruction manual. I even did this in Vegas. We were at the board game thing and I remember just thinking, let's just play around. Let's just play around. Yeah, yeah. I don't want to. I can, I learn as I go. Let's go. Let's get this going. I think part of that might be the way video games tutorialize. I'm so used to that.

that I want that out of card games. That's true that the first, that usually you learn to play the game in a video game by playing the first level or a, uh, oh, what are the, look at these new powers I've got. Let me try using them on that wall. Holy crap, I can climb that wall. Yeah, and a couple, a couple, you may get a few text prompts, but for the most part, you're learning as you go. And I, maybe I just prefer that, I don't know. Press the square rapidly to attack. Yep.

But when Ducey sits down and goes, all right, and he pulls out a book, I'm like, oh, okay. that's one of the greatest things about action castle um which was uh gotta do it which is uh the fact that you didn't we didn't need to know anything going in except you're going to answer in a prompt right an actual prompt that you you would say in a game and i managed to screw that up by the way the very first thing well but somebody had to be the sacrificial lamb and you were you happen to be first and uh and ducy i think would have done whatever sound you made as the first utter inside of your mouth whether it was even like an um he would have said um is not a valid command and then moved on to me so somebody had to be the sacrificial lamb and if it wasn't you

would have been me yeah if i would have been standing closer to ducy so i took a bullet but it was really fun that was a fun freaking thing great icebreaker that was so fun yeah we should do that every year just a different one we should totally oh make it a tradition ducy uh anyway this lecusa lecusa yakuza yakuza guy he's being accused it of taking Wow That's terrible Of stealing these cards

Strickland just rolled his eyes to that dead joke I mean I would roll my eyes if I were Him Let's see There's a whole bunch of Flavor text here says But in a real world Acuziatenna has been arrested for a crime

That doesn't have much in terms of Panash stealing Pokemon cards The Tachakawa precinct Of Tokyo Metropolitan Police Have announced the arrest of Gita Sato, a 39-year-old Kanbu or officer within the Takaganawa family in Japan, second largest crime organization syndicate in Japan. It's kind of a big deal.

Yeah. I wouldn't mess with these people. No, no, no, no. They don't even get arrested that much because they're scary. Listen, I've been watching the new season of Tokyo Vice. We just started watching that. And yeah, not a group you want to mess around with. I've been dying to watch that.

I still haven't seen it. Worth seeing it. So far, so good. Ansel Elgort, I think, is Benjamin buttoning us. I think he is getting younger as we watch. Dirty bastard. It looks like he's 14 in this show now. And last season, he looked like he was 19.

So I don't get it. Weird. Can't wait for the next season where he's a toddler. So is that show still, something got famously canceled too early. It's not this, though. It's another Japanese theme thing. Oh, really? Oh, the HBO one.

Not Shogun. No, not Shogun. That was a one-off. Well, Tokyo Vice is HBO, but... What am I thinking of? Is it Tokyo Vice? Let me see if it got canceled after the current season. Because Ken Watanabi's in that, right?

Maybe I'm thinking of that, then. Series was renewed for a second season, which premiered just this last February. Nothing, it's not saying anything about getting... getting renewed or canceled on Wikipedia. What's the one that's set in the turn of the century? Maybe I'm thinking of that, and it's not Shogun. It's, um, HBO, Japan, show, cancel. Let's see if, no, Tokyo Vice is still there.

Pachinko was Apple TV Plus. And as far as I know, Pachinko is a one and done. Like, I don't think there's going to be a second season. That thing was great. Yeah, it was so good. I need to see that still. yeah i don't know what i'm thinking of only very little about the actual game pachinko but more about the families that are ping ping ponging um yeah hold on there we go getting calls why am we

getting calls i'm gonna do not disturb yeah what's that about is that family tell them to f off yeah listen family i don't care what your emergency is freaking go away family back off fam i'm about they get a bunch of family in town and i'm not looking forward to it oh yeah some of it um all right let's see what else we got oh um oh i like this north carolina child's monster in the closet was in fact 50 000 bees oh god it was in the wall uh yep nope thank you know i think this required i think this like necessitates this i don't like bees haven't played the real clip in a while a toddler told her mom that monsters were in her closet but in fact there were more than 50 000 bees in there

A mother of three children under four years old was met with a terrifying surprise when she and her husband investigated why a handful of bees had flown into the attic of the couple's North Carolina home. After a visit by a pest control company and multiple beekeepers, a thermal camera finally revealed where the bees had gone to a massive hive. They had built inside the wall of her daughter's room where the girl was convinced she had heard a monster of some kind lurking. At first, I thought it was a body, says Ashley Massis Class.

she told People magazine. Ashley Massa's class. Yeah, for sure. Does that look right? Maybe it's Nasus? Mases? Masses. Anyway.

I'm thinking Masses class. Masses class. Hi, I'm Brian Abbott. Welcome to my Masses class. Yeah, this is my Masses class. Not to be confused with Master class. It's like you'd have to say, it's like transmorphers for transformers. Right, exactly.

This is the Bloom House version or the, what is that one, the toxic avenger group, whatever there. Trauma. This is the trauma version of Masterclass. There you go. Couldn't remember that. Beekeeper did not have his bee gear on yet, it says. I didn't know if you could get bee gear. I guess it's like...

Be gear. It would be like the protective suit thing. Probably that. Yeah, right, right. He took a hammer, knocked on the wall. Bees came swarming out like a horror movie. There were streams of bees. What do you call it?

Swarm of bees is not a stream. It's a swarm. and she say that. I guess it streamed out. Because it came out, yeah. They were streaming. Yeah, they were streaming bees. Some of them playing League of Legends. Some of them were... Don't forget to like and subscribe. Just beef feet videos, really, a lot of them.

Oh, yeah. That's the hot new thing. The wall, let's see. And the wall where he hit was oozing honey, but it looked like blood because it was really dark honey running down my daughter's pink walls. It looked very strange. That's horrifying, dude. This is Amityville Horror stuff right here. Yeah, I don't like it. I'm not a fan. No, thanks. Nope.

All right. Candyman, Candyman. You got three more. Hold on to those. Three more, yeah, we'll save those. We're going to take a break. When we come back, Bobby's going to be here. Yeah, that's right.

Bobby on a Tuesday. That's because we got, normally we were going to have Amy, but she is busy today. She's got a thing with her son and it's all tied up. So we have Bobby stepping in for a little science on a Tuesday. We also have a call for him, which we'll play before we get to it.

We'll get to all that in a minute, though, after Brian plays a song. Yeah, this is great. If you like kind of the more mellow stuff like Mumford and Sons, Lumaneers. I equate this guy a lot to Noah Khan, who's become a recent favorite of mine.

This is a guy named Donovan Woods. Big thanks to the syndicate for sending those and over to me, by the way. He's got an upcoming album that's called Things Were Never Good, if they're not good now. Comes out July 12th via End Times, End Times Music. End times.

Did they have any idea how great it is that they have a company called times for a show like ours i do love that yeah it's really great uh donovan woods so this is the first single from now it's called back for the funeral here is donovan woods Died her hair blonde She is telling me this in the parking lot of the Burlington Mall We are older now She's still beautiful

I'm back for the funeral Your hometown's just the first place you don't understand And your family's just strangers You know like the back of your hand your hand the higher you think you're above it the harder you fall it's a penthouse view of a brick wall I'm back for the funeral you can build yourself a rocket you can ride it to the moon you'll still wake up some morning in your old bedroom And it's not going to kill you But it feels like you will

When your shit head friend Takes a month worth of pills I am back for the funerals After the service Well I'll meet up at the bar Where my dad used to drink, now he just drinks in the yard. And we'll laugh about all the young, dumb dreams we had. And we'll pretend we're all only sad,

because we're back for the funeral. And I'll call you in the morning to make sure you're all right. because I don't remember getting home but I woke up I'm fine And I was hoping I would see And how fucked up is that That somebody's got to die for us to call each other back Thank you.

for the funeral that was donovan woods very cool i have a music recommendation before i pull bobby in I found, I'm always on the hunt for some good, I don't know even what brand of EDM it is, but it's just kind of, I like driving cyberpunk-y sort of heavy, you know, electronica. I'm a big fan. Crystal method kind of stuff. Yeah, that's a good comparison. There's others in my brain's dead. But I found this group just totally randomly.

I was just searching around. I don't know if it's a dude or a group, but it's called. um oh shit my brain hold on seventh oh uh instead of sector seven that's how i remember it instead of sector seven it's vector seven with a v high high recommendation if you like what i just described that kind of electronica dude it's real good nice yeah i'll check that out sounds good that was that's that was my soundtrack yesterday and it was great hype me up all right uh bobby time let's get him in here let's get some signs under our belt. It's always nice to see Bobby. We got to see him in person. Now we get

to see him virtually. I'm assuming he's still wearing that pink lamay jacket. Him dancing with Tanner. I'm surprised he didn't get COVID because of the Tanner dance, but... No kidding, yeah. I guess maybe he gave it to him. He just hasn't owned up to the fact that he's patient

zero. Didn't think about that. Science. Bob is hungry and the soup looks good. Robert, welcome to the program. Oh shit. Why play twice. It's good to have you back, sir. You didn't get the COVID, did you? The science of echoes. Nope, still no COVID after all these years. Oh, are you, are you another one who's been COVID-free the whole time? Yeah, but at least, I've never tested positive for COVID.

That doesn't mean I haven't had it, I suppose. But you might have had it and had no symptoms, but you know, you would have known if you had some severe symptoms on this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I sometimes wonder if you know there are there are plenty of times when I was um you know like feeling under the weather but it wasn't a full-blown cold and all that kind of you know it's and I wouldn't have tested because it was just like oh I feel a little sniffly and I'm not going anywhere this weekend anyway whatever yeah yeah nice I could see that I don't blame you yeah I don't but not not early on like every time my you know every time the the pressure changed in the air I was checking myself during you know that first year and a half or so but after after that you know

I might have had like I said like a stuffy nose or or something for a day and it's possible that that was COVID and I just it was not something that I tested for and you were you were one of those guys who just got the non-symptomatic or barely symptomatic maybe who knows yeah but I wasn't I didn't have any symptoms at all but I I didn't get any kind of any kind of any kind of under the weather feeling from our Vegas trip. Wash your hands. Don't touch your face.

That's my rule. So I know Brian loves my streaks. I have another streak I haven't talked about. Here's my streak. Oh, you've talked about it on Twitter. Oh, I did. I probably did. There's some streaks of yours that I don't like.

Yeah, you don't want all my streaks. Trust me. Here's my one streak, though, that is still kind of baffles me because I don't know why this is. And maybe there's science behind it. Like maybe your immune system gets boosted when you're high intensity or something. I don't know.

But at no time have I ever gone to a Comic-Con, a BlizCon, a TMS event, nerdtaculars back in the day. Any and all of those things, never come home with a illness, never had a cold a week later, none of that, never get Concred. And I do have this thing where I never touch my face and I wash my hands a lot. You do a really good job of not touching your face. Yeah, I feel like there's, you know, it's. As they touch my face.

You can, you can do the not touch your face thing and still. just one of those viruses just somehow gets into your eye or you inhale or something. Yeah, and that's why I'm surprised. I thought I would have had something. I'm surprised too, yeah. I don't know why I just got lucky. Maybe it's... Strong constitution is what you've got.

Oh, I don't know about that. But I can tell you this. Bobby's here. We're going to do some science. Bobby, I got a phone call for you first. We've been holding on to it for a while and I keep forgetting to play it. All right. This is about air travel and you and your pilot's license and all that. All right. Cool. So here you go.

Hey, this is Bruce from Oregon regarding Bobby's airplane with ab gas. The difference between ab gas and regular gas is ab gas actually has lead in it still. So it's still lead in gas, which you don't want to use in your car. It will clog your catalog of your catalog, but it's also 100 off-pane, so it is higher. I actually use it in my dirt bikes and chainsaws because it's non-ethanol, so you don't have to worry about the gaps going bad. Love it sort of So that's

That tracks the way Because you talk about the fuel types before And we were trying to make sense of it Yeah Yeah and I'm actually surprised I didn't think of saying that Because the type of gas That I use for the planes that I fly

Just the piston airplanes It's actually it's called 100 100 low lead I can't remember exactly what the 100 means But I know the LL is low lead and so it's still got lead in it. So, yeah, absolutely right. Nice.

That is a big difference. I didn't know about the ethanol portion of it, though. And I didn't know that ethanol is what made our regular gasoline go bad. I'm learning a lot from this call. I didn't know that either. Is that always true? Like regular gas ethanol is the problem? If it goes bad, like what's sour?

Like quits working right? You've never had like, have you ever had like an old car? that sat in the garage or like a lawnmower or even just a gas can that had gas in it for a long time and it gets kind of sludgy. Yeah, I guess I have, yeah, I didn't know what that meant. From like lawnmower, like you accidentally don't use up all your gas over the fall and winter when you've got your lawnmower gas thing and it gets a little gross. That's why you always hear people say like if you have a car that sits in the garage like an old car that you need to crank it and run it a little bit every once in a while. because you don't want that all that fuel sitting in the lines and stuff. Interesting.

I'm going to remember that next time I, you know, take an old mower or whatever and try to fire it up and wonder why it doesn't. Maybe it's just that. Maybe it should just be that you let it. You didn't winter treat it. Yeah. I always thought gas lasted forever. So I'm learning something. I just thought it just, it was one of those materials and not materials, but liquids where once refined.

zombies could come and we could just keep all the gas in a tank somewhere. You know what I mean? Like, I just thought it was permanent, but shows what I know. I wonder if you could just stir it every once in a while. Maybe. If that would be enough, yeah, might be. Yeah. I have no idea.

I'm going to look into this, though, now that I am, it's being said that ethanol is the problem. I didn't know that. Well, there you go. Don't drink it. That's all in it for sure. That's what this segment's all about is learning, isn't it? Yeah. This is the learning channel as far as for good or bad.

That's what you're here for. Well, Bobby, give us some TLC and tell us what we're learning today. What's going on in the science world? You know what? I learned a lot about superstition over the past week. Would you think, what about you guys? Yeah, that's a superstition. You see it all over the place in casinos.

You've got the people who are like, oh, don't, the ones for craps crack me up. Like, never put a $50 bill on the table. Never say the word seven when you're standing at a craps table. It's bad luck. do you have anything like that Brian that you do like any kind of even if it's not even if you know it's all bullshit do you do anything

I know it's bunk for whatever reason when I grab the dice I bump them on the table and then I toss them and I don't know if that's it's instinctual to me now and I don't know if it's a it's not a superstition thing

because I know dice have no memory you could roll five sevens and the next dyes have just as much of a chance of being a seven as they ever did. But for whatever reason, I tap them on the table and then I toss them. And I might just be like a, you know what, part of me is thinking that I do it to placate the superstitious people around the table. Because if they don't see that I do something to improve my luck, they'll think, well, he don't believe in luck. So I'm going to, I'm going to bet against him kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

it's um dice and craps are a really good one because there's tons of superstitions around that right yeah i think people swear up and down and i don't know where you stand on this brian but people swear up and down that there's a technique to throwing the dice um and i don't think that that's true when you say like a technique like you mean dice setting where you you position the dice uh exactly the same way and you use muscle memory to try and toss them the same way so you can right yeah With, there are people on, you know, who believe that they can do this. And I've seen YouTube videos where somebody's able to do it. You don't know how what kind of creative editing they're doing. But that back wall is a spongy, multifaceted little. Yeah, even if, even if just tossing the dice wasn't enough, which it probably is. But they make the back wall of a craps table like, like, shaped like, sound baffling.

Yeah, exactly. And it will not, it's not going to, nothing. And the rule is, with. of craps you have it has to hit the back wall it has to touch the back wall if you you know if you make the mistake once they'll say pull a little more uh moxie into it buddy you know they'll they'll exactly they'll tell you something but uh yeah you you even if it hits the floor of the craps table first then bounces into the back wall that's fine i usually try and like throw it just enough to where it hits the back wall and then comes forward but uh

do you think if they didn't have that rule though there would be a technique that would ensure a higher percentage of the way your dice landed? I think it would help. If you put a robot, this always fascinates me, like thinking, all right, if you create a robot that always use the same amount of energy to throw the dice, and it always did it the same way, it's always following the same path, the same track, and you didn't have that back wall, what would that do to the randomness of the dice? because you still have other factors of like the breeze blowing in the room or something.

But that would be, I'd love to see if somebody's done that experiment. That's interesting, yeah. Right, and I think it would be interesting to see, but I think it's just, I think the reason they have you throw it against the back wall is not so much to make it more random, but probably just to avoid, like, the argument, right? like how far is far enough to throw it and you know because certainly if I just pick up the dice

and drop it like an inch in front of me I can affect it somehow right yeah but uh but all of those superstitions how would you define a superstition in general do you think oh gosh how would I define it um yeah superstition is uh usually fear based and is usually like um thing thing that either someone doesn't know

that there is an explanation for is to lazy to look for it or just straight up we haven't learned anything better so for example uh let's go back to you know i don't know the 1500s everyone's sure that we're the center of everything right and everything rotates around us that was common knowledge that i don't know if i'd call that a superstition but it might be later on when we have new knowledge and saying well actually there's the sun and it's just our solar system and this and that there are still people go well i think when the sun is red, that's a sign that my, it's time to have babies or whatever. You know, I don't know where it comes from, but it usually feels like it's fear-based

when people come up with that. Somebody has to have started it, right? Somebody has to say, oh, there's a penny on the ground. I'm going to pick that up, and I'm going to tell people that the act of picking up that penny is good luck. Or something good happened to them when they did that, and they said, oh, must have been that penny I picked up. Oh, but it didn't happen to be the second time.

Oh, that's because it was face down or heads down. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of definitions of superstitions, and a lot of them have to do with, you know, being fear-based, that's an interesting way to put it, Scott, because a lot of early definitions of superstition had to do with religion or mystical beliefs, you know, that irrational sort of beliefs or practices that people engage in to affect some sort of an outcome, right? like and and some people define superstition um some historians and sociologists would would describe

a superstition as as a pejorative um explet like it's a it's a it's a it's a one group who doesn't believe in it is calling it a superstition whereas if you did obviously believe in in whatever that system of belief is you wouldn't call it a superstition because Because it's... Superstition is a negative term, saying that what you're doing is BS. Right. But in the 40s, a psychologist B.F. Skinner, famous behavioral psychologist, he noticed... He noticed what he called superstitions in a bunch of experiments he was doing with pigeons.

You may have heard of Skinner in relation to pigeon boxes. And he had a bunch of, you would just put pigeons in boxes and make them do things for food and, and then observe the results. And that has led to what we would, I think a lot of people refer to as sort of a modern day definition of superstition, which has to do with a behavior that we engage in because we think it leads to some sort of positive outcome or avoiding a negative outcome. So it leads to some change in outcome, but the reason it's a superstition is because the thing, the behavior we're engaging in actually has zero connection to the outcome, right? And usually it's some sort of an accident. So like an example, the reason I obviously brought it up with Vegas is because there's superstition everywhere in gambling, right? And our brains are sort of wired for it because we're always looking for patterns. like you hear that all the time we're pattern-seeking animals right the uh i mean i have

examples of just this past week of how even though i know superstition like i i'm not a superstitious person but i'm i was uh i feel the tug in my head when i'm when i'm doing things like when we were playing craps i remember specifically um we were all there together playing craps and we were doing horribly like it was it was going really bad um and then um scott fletcher joined us oh that changed everything he walked up he walked up and as soon as he walked up that's when we things started going well and then the luck changed yeah yeah and then and then he said he was just stopping in to say hi and he was about to leave and i think i yelled at him and told him that he's not allowed to leave and it was kind of a joke right it was

of course a joke, but you, your brain, I still picked up on it, right? Yeah, your brain says things were going bad until this event, I don't want that event to end. It's like the football player shoot.

Packers guy for a while who wouldn't shave his beard during the playoffs because he felt like as long as he had his beard they would keep winning or whatever the reason is. Roger Rogers, yeah, with to shave his beard. You know, that guy's got other problems besides superstition that are far worse. But it feels like it's all a little rooted in it, though, doesn't it?

It totally does. Like sports big time. Yeah. There's stuff you don't do and you don't, you know, in the locker room you don't say a certain word or you don't, you make sure you have the same meal before every game because you don't want to mess up the things that are working. It's in endeavors where there's a lot of stakes, right? Yeah.

And so you want things to go a certain way. And gambling certainly has a lot of stakes. I would just, there's got to be pilot to kind of paint in your parlance, paint with your brush. Are there pilot superstitions that, you know, as you were going through class, you know, your instructor said, well, this is kind of a little superstition, but we always do it. You never put your scarf on the left side. or your pilot scarf. You always put it to the right, or you don't go under the wing of the plane.

You always come to the plane and go, you know, from the back end. I think a lot of people do it just because they want to, even if they don't truly believe it, they're like, well, what can it hurt for me to tap this gem or squeeze this stone before I go into this meeting or whatever? Yeah. I mean, there's probably... I bet you there are, but I'm not a...

You don't do any of any of, for piloting. But I think the rewards are high, or the potential reward is high with little cost, right? That's kind of what you're getting at, Scott. Like, it's easy to do some of these little superstitious behaviors. There's not very much cost. And so I think that's what makes it so easy and why we're so wired to pick up on these patterns all the time. I mean, there's so many, you just, we can. notice them so very easily. I remember

we were playing, again, it has to do with craps. We were playing craps at one of those machines where you have to push the button to roll the dice. Yeah. That's known, that game, by the way, is known as Chabets. Shabets. You have to play Chabets. Oh, shit.

And Claire was sitting there with us. She wasn't playing, but she was sitting there with us, and she was just, you know, because Claire is, is Claire. She wanted to smash the button all the climb. She wanted to hit all the buttons for everybody, so she was going around doing that. And we noticed very quickly that whenever she, whenever she hit the button with her right hand, we would get, you know, we would, whenever we were trying for the point, we would, basically if we wanted a seven, or an 11, she needed to hit it with her left hand. If we wanted anything else, she needed to hit it with her right hand. And, you know, we know, again, we don't believe that's really happening. but we notice it even though it's the other grocery line always moves faster right you don't notice it when you're in the one that's moving faster but sure enough when you're in the one that's moving slower it's like always it's always the other line that's moving faster yeah right right i hate that so go ahead safety things that that turned into superstitions i think of like there's the reason i don't walk under ladders is because i don't want anything falling on me not because i'm worried about any sort of

of superstition. I just picture a paint can falling down from the guy who's painting up at the top of that ladder, so I'm not going to walk under that ladder. But somebody said, oh, well, it's bad luck to walk under the ladders. Maybe it's a way to say, to keep his kids from ever walking under a ladder. I think there probably is, right? Like, that's a really good example. Because I always think of, when I hear of superstitions, I always want to think of, you know,

like when you think of interesting words, you want to know the etymology of. the word. I always want to know like the history or the quote unquote etymology of like a superstition. Where did it begin? For sure. The black cat one crossing your path always fascinated me. Yeah and I bet you there are plenty. Like the latter one is such a good example of like this is a superstition but it's also you know kind of just a good idea. It's a really good idea. Don't walk under a ladder. Just don't. Right. There's no reason. Don't walk under a piano being hoisted up the side of a tall building. You just don't do it. It's not because it's bad luck or not. it is interesting though because you're talking about almost universal societal conditioning

when I see a ladder and I know I know in my heart of hearts that there's nothing wrong with me walking under that ladder or if I see a black cat it doesn't mean anything but my brain still immediately goes oh yeah there's that whole thing about not walking under ladders or don't step on a crack you break your mom's back or whatever these things get they get in they needle into our brains even if we've only heard it once because there's something about us that says, well, if this is right, then I want to be prepared. And so you, you, like, glom onto it. And that's a, you could solve a lot of human problems if we didn't do that so much, don't you think? Oh, for sure. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Flat earthers would wake up from, you know.

I have a black cat that crosses my path multiple times per day here, Salem, Massachusetts. How's your luck going? You got good luck right now? Totally. I feel like my luck is as good or bad as it ever was, which means nonexistent. There you have it. the um the way that skinner noticed all this by the way is that uh the pigeons i think this is fascinating he would had these pigeons in a box and he was testing what are called uh reinforcement schedules which is just like timing of when the pigeons would get rewards and and seeing it how quickly the pigeons would learn to do different behaviors well he was testing one where there was no connection between like like it was set up to be that there would be no connection between

the pigeons like pressing buttons or pulling levers or something like that and the reward they get it was just totally a set schedule it was just the box they were in was just programmed to spit out food at a set interval just had nothing to do with

what the pigeons were actually doing but he noticed that there were a lot of pigeons that would start to have these strange behaviors like swing their heads back and forth like a pendulum or or turning a certain number of circles in the cage and he thought that's odd and then he would notice as he paid attention that that some of these pigeons were picking up these behaviors because it was something that the pigeon happened to be doing right before food came out one time and so he thought this looks just like superstitious behavior in humans right and so he tested it and tested it and found that that's what was happening pigeons were learning quote unquote learning behaviors that that had nothing to do with like that was not how the researchers were determining when they would get food right but the pigeons very quickly learn to do it um you know

because they just happened to be doing it and so he called that superstition and um it's very much thought that that's how humans often pick up superstitious behaviors now some superstitious behaviors are just cultural and you pick it up because someone told you about it. But there are other ones like what we just talked about with my experience, with gambling in Vegas this week or other things that we do in our life that are just picked up because it just happens to coincide with something happening that we want to happen, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and like I, so can you call superstition?

Like it's one thing to say, well, if I walk under the ladder, it's bad luck, or if I step on a crack, I break my mom's back. these all sound ridiculous and kind of pop-cultry. But what is it when, let's say you grow up in a family where the extreme of superstition happens where it's like, well, Billy, we believe that if you, I don't know, I'm trying to a good example. If you go to a doctor, that's against our religion. And if you go to a doctor, you will die. You're going to die because that's against our religion.

That feels like it's still, that's still the problem. that's still the same kind of thing, right, just at a higher level of, not abuse, but you know what I'm trying to say. Like, it's not manipulation. It's more severe. And it could be that those types of things started as superstitions. When it comes to like cultural beliefs or religious beliefs or things like that, I, a lot of people will, in a derogatory way, call that superstition. I think that, I know why people say that, but I think that that those, types of beliefs have have gone beyond superstition and they've turned into something else because now they're like now they're like institutionally and culturally set in stone right like when when it gets passed on to you you can call it a superstition but it's it's almost not in the way that a psychologist is calling a superstition a superstition you know now it's now it's something else entirely right it's it's it's a cultural practice that that is you that you're doing for probably a lot of different reasons,

maybe not even because, maybe just because you're expected to, you know? Right. And you would rationalize it because as something that you do because you're trying to avoid some sort of downside. Right. But it didn't begin that way, maybe, you know?

Right, right. It's interesting. It becomes very complicated. Yeah, the best part about superstitions is when you think about them, or talk about them like this it's a great way of like reminding yourself that you probably even have a few

of these things they're versus maybe they're small like I have routines sometimes you'll think it's just your routine but then if you're really obsessive about it you might think about why am I doing this? Yeah. Why? Yeah. It's good to stop and do that once in a while I think you know totally is. Change it up

a little. Well Bobby that's fascinating thanks. Do you have any superstitions you'd like to get rid of Bobby we can help you with today like you know? Um, I don't know. I, I think I do have some superstitions. I'm really superstitious about like when something important, like is, is happening or coming up. I'm really superstitious about telling people about it. Like, like if I've got to take a big test or I've got an interview coming up, I'm, I'm kind of, I might describe that as a superstition. Like, I don't think I'm, I don't tell people because I'm afraid it will be bad if I tell people. It's more like I don't want to tell people. It's more like I don't want to tell people. I don't want to tell people. people because I don't want to have to like get mine and their hopes up. But it's it's very close to a superstition, right? Like there's no real reason for me not to. But I definitely don't. I feel you. Yeah. Well, may you all at home be less superstitious and send in your

questions for Bobby. And also if you have thoughts about how fuel works and airplanes, boy, howdy, do we have room for that as well. I do have one thing before I go. Just a real quick thank you to everybody. Zoe's fundraiser, remember I talked about last one. Oh, yeah. Yeah. She has her goal was $250 and right now, because of all of you fantastic

people, she's sitting at $3,081. That's amazing. I love it, dude. Has she seen the light does she understand? She's going to buy a zoo? Is that the plan? She's going to buy 50 copies of Zoo Tycoon. There we are.

Wow. That's a lot. She's very excited and super grateful. And if nothing else, you know, it's definitely a chunk of change to send to the zoo, and everybody should feel good about that. I know she does, and she's super excited about that. That's why she wanted to do it. But everybody should also feel really, really good about making her, you know.

Proving her wrong. Yeah, proving her wrong. Making her realize that she, because she definitely has changed her thoughts about that. She told me, like, I guess people, I guess, you know, people do care. about these kinds of things. Like, she said that to me, and I thought, that's the reason I wanted to prove her wrong, like you said. That's the reason we wanted to help. I'm glad that here it did. That's fantastic. It worked, and she definitely feels a lot better, and she's very excited to give them that money. And so, thank you, everybody, is what I wanted to say. Yeah, she's a sweet kid,

and she deserves it. That's awesome. Well, Bobby, on that lovely note, may your day be full of, I don't know, whatever you like to do. Okay. You too. Bye now. See you, Bobby. That's sweet, though. $3,000, geez. That's amazing. Good for her.

That's the important thing. Exactly. Good job. One final thing. Oh, yeah, go ahead. One more quick thing about superstition. Stevie Wonder wrote it with the intent on Jeff Beck, releasing his version first. So Stevie Wonder's version was almost a cover, but his label rushed to get Stevie Wonder's version out and out into the market before Jeff Beck's version made it onto an album.

But the intent was Stevie Wonder wrote it for Jeff Beck to release it first and then for Stevie Wonder release his version. Oh. Well, there you go. Even it's still written by him, it's still a cover, depending on who gets it out first. That's true, right? Yeah. It's all about order. Cover is only determined by first release and subsequent release. Nice.

Releases. Releases. Released. I like that. Released. Yeah, like with a T. Released you could do is. Yeah.

That's great. All right. Quick email. This is from Tina in Moody, Alabama. That place is just Moody. Oh, man, don't go on a bad day to Moody, Alabama. No. She said, she was talking about TMB, which is too many birthdays, the term EMTs used for old people who die.

She says this on TMS 2635. You guys were talking about the EMT shorthand for old people who die being TMB, which is too many birthdays. I work in a veterinary medicine or in veterinary medicine and thought you might like to know our shorthand for a pet with nondescript symptoms is ADR for ain't doing right. we use it all the time this poor dog has ADR just ain't doing right ADR is like also dubbing right it's also the voice yeah doing voice work after

or as we call it the entirety of super snooper slash superfuzz was ADR yeah and if you don't remember it just think of the song and you'll remember it hold on a second though ADR stands so what does that stand for when it's for that attention no something oh you mean

Like the something recording. Audio something recording? Yeah, I think so. Additional dialogue recording. Thank you, Bobby. There you go. Thank you. More science.

In the meantime, let's play a song and get out of here.

What do you got? Yeah. Jeff Collins wrote in and said, another Cinco de Mayo, so another birthday. Three more years to 50. let Scott do the math. Just kidding. Thank you in advance for the call out and the song. Wow. I don't want to do the math. Which birthday do you want to play for him? What did he say was his age? Do you say?

Three more years to 50. Three more? I think, you know what? We said 40, so you get the old lady. Hold on. Where is she? I can't find her now. She's wandered off. Come on back, Grandma. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. There you go. His request is, I leave it to the covermaster to pick a song, reach deep into your iTunes and play something that you love. Oh, Jeff, you know, I love it when people do that.

Just pick something you like, Brian. I'm going to pick something I like. I'm going to pick something that I love, as a matter of fact. This is one of those five-star songs in my library. I've got them labeled. I've got both the stars and the heart because I want to make sure this comes up regularly in my play Brian Abbott's Station. Sure, sure. that I'll just put on while I'm riding my bike.

This is a woman I get to see in concert perform this song several years ago in Fort Collins as part of this thing called E-Town. It was her and Bruce Coburn, not the actor, but the musician. Oh, I was going to say. Yeah, this Bruce Coburn spells it C-O-C-B-U-R-N, but don't pronounce that like the way it's written.

Oh, yeah. There you go. Okay, just hit me. Okay. Anyway, this is a song called Cathedrals. This is a song originally done by a band called Jump Little Children. Joan Osborne included it on her 2008 album, Little Wild One, and it is no exaggeration to say that in the right conditions,

when I'm listening to this song, I will tear up because it is such a moving, like her vocals, the arrangement, the piano, the build that this thing does and you get to that last chorus and she comes in and it's like oh my God it is enough to bring a tear to my eye. So here is Jonah have a tissue handy folks.

Joan Osborne and the song Cathedrals. In the shadows of tall buildings Of fallen angels On the ceilings Oily feathers In bronze and concrete

Faded colors Pieces left incomplete The line moves slowly Pass the electric fence between continents in the cathedrals of New York and Rome. There is a feeling that you should just go home and spend a lifetime finding out just where that is. In the shadows of tall buildings, the architecture is slowly peeling,

marble statues and glass dividers. Someone is watching all of the outsiders. The line moves slowly through the numbers. Through the number gate, that's the mosaic of the head of state. In the cathedrals of New York and Rome, there is a feeling that you should just go home and spend a lifetime finding out just where that is. In the shadows of tall buildings, In the shadows of tall buildings,

of open arches, endlessly kneeling, Sonic landscapes Echoing vistas Someone is listening From a safe distance The line moves slowly Into a fading light A final moment

In the dead of night In the cathedrals Of New York and Rome And Rome, there is a feeling that you should just go home and spend a lifetime finding out just where that is. In the cathedral of New York and Rome, there is a feeling that you should just go home. and spend a lifetime finding out just where that is This show is part of the frogpant network.
