It is a Tuesday. I'm Scott, and that's Brian. Hi, Brian. Hello, Scott. Hey, man. It's nice to see you, man. Happy Tuesday to you. Yeah, you know, it's a Tuesday for sure. It's all fine. Everything's fine. Yeah. That Fletcher clip, so do the bees know they make honey for you? Yeah. It kind of makes me think, right? Like, if bees could talk to each other, would they say, you know, that stuff that we barf out?

people eat that people yeah people eat that like i think i think about it yeah no what other animal like you know that that thing that i'm uh this oyster says you know that thing that i'm just like rubbing all my saliva on to make it smooth because it really hurts people like pay good money for these and they eat them raw can you believe it can you believe they eat us raw yeah there's a there's a real there's a real disconnect on certain things we eat that i think we've just we're just accustomed to it it's culturally fine or whatever we freak out if we eat grubs or whatever in this country but in some countries it's as normal as us you know eating a chicken yeah so you know like i guess i guess here's the deal eat what you want but do not uh eat barf there you go that's that's my new stance

eat what you want but don't eat barf yeah it's a life lesson yeah what's the other famous animal oh when whales barf it turns into perfume or something right ambergris yeah That's a weird thing. Who discovered that? Like, who was sitting around on the beach and went, you know? This would make some great perfume. Yeah. Also, how do you get your hands on it?

Like, I need to know more about how they discovered it. Because was a beach, was the whale come up on the beach and go, oh, I don't feel very good, and barfed on the beach. And then, or do you have to go in the ocean to find your ambergris? I don't get it. I want to know the story. Maybe I don't. Maybe we don't want to know the story. HBO four-part documentary.

Get it going. There we go. Yes. The story of perfume. Hosted by Ava Lungoria. That's right. She's not busy. Let her do it.

We went to my mom's birthday dinner last night. She turned 86. Oh, right. Nice. And she got to pick the place. I forgot the name, but it's a very fancy Italian place out in this really ritzy part of Provo, which means we had to drive a bit of, you know, a bit to get out there.

And it was fine. And food's good, you know, it's nice. However, oh, and it's also very quiet there. I liked that. Oh, I liked that, yeah. It's like a library, you know. Is it just because the people are quiet or they have really good sound dampening? Oh, good question.

Yeah, I don't know. Maybe both, a little bit of both because they didn't have, there really no kids there. There was no music playing. Maybe there was a light sort of Italian fair playing somewhere quietly, but it wasn't anything obtrusive or loud. I like that. There's that, there's that, you know, the crowd goes in there, the people go in there, the patrons go in there, and they're quiet because it's quiet in there, as opposed to like a TGI Fridays where, oh, the table over there, I can't hear you over the table over there, so I'm going to talk even louder. And then the next table has to do the same thing. Yeah, really well lit and clean, and it's just one of those places.

Nice. And the price is reflected it. It was kind of expensive. But my mom, you know, it's your 86th birthday. She gets to choose what she wants. Yes. Oh, for sure. Exactly.

she wanted filet mignon medallions oh really very fancy so we got her those i had some kind of mushroom risotto something and uh it was very good here's the thing though okay uh this place is staffed entirely by a bunch of young polytradies looking servers and and like uh not ushers what are they called hosts hostess servers hosters okay no there were no women there which i thought was weird. Okay. And they're all big curly-haired. Big Timothy Chalamey-Chalamey-looking dudes.

Yeah, cross the board. Everybody we saw. And that includes they would come out and do the whole like one guy's our waiter, but he had like two guys that would follow him everywhere. And I don't know if that was a maybe it was a training thing, but it just felt like more like this is what you do at a restaurant. There's a whole team of people watching after you at this fancy place. Oh, yeah, sure.

And they all looked like that. They all looked like, I almost stood up and went, Lissan Al-Ga-Ib, and freaked out, because everybody there looked like the savior of Iraqis. It was weird. When they approached the table with your food, do they, like, step forward, then a couple steps to the side,

and they spin around, and then another step back to the right. Just the whole way with my risotto from the kitchen to the table, they had to like, you know, well, you don't want to wake up the worms, Brian, and freak everybody out. If you walk without risotto,

you won't attract the worm. But, yeah, it was a very weird, it weird because it wasn't just one kid and by kid I mean these guys look I don't know they were probably 20 something but they looked 15 and they all look like Timothy Shalame

and it was weird me out and in the back of my head I could hear like let's see do I have this hair I heard this guy up there getting the judicars ready to go fight oh okay so it was uh yeah it was something i don't know i can't even really explain it and so the entire

meal was painted by this feeling that i was surrounded by timothy shallame clones that's funny you know i've got i've got a cover of metallica that sounds like that oh do you now yeah uh yacht ka i believe it is it's tuven throat throat singing ooh i want to hear that i'll find it this one uh it'll take but uh this one i played is from somebody made that that's the actual dune guy and then most of the song goes like this. So he just made like a pounding kind of techno thing out of it. And it's quite good. But anyway, yeah, find that and send it to me when you...

Yeah, we'll do. Good time. Anyway, it was fun. She had a great time. And Kim didn't finish her Carbonara, so I did. And that was a mistake. Because that's just too much pasta for me. I don't know what I was thinking.

So the rest of the night, I felt bloated and disgusting. And it's fine. Yeah. And then we had to go to her parents on the way home just to see them and pick up a loaf of bread because they're always making bread and telling everyone to come get come get their bread. So we went to get bread and see his garden because her dad is an amazing green thumb and makes amazing gardens every year. And he has enough grapes growing all throughout his his yard that we could probably bottle or jam, I don't know, 500 quarts of like grape juice. this year, which we're going to try to probably do. Kim will go pick it all. She did it last year. We'll jar a bunch of grape juice. If anyone needs any, let us know. In fact, you know what, Jim Jensen, I know you're listening at home or in your car. You're welcome to some grape juice

once that process happens. Nice. You're going to have to wait until this fall, though, because it takes, it's not ripe yet. So I was in, I was walking around. They all look like ripe. What are the regular green grapes called? Is there a name for those? what do you call those at the store are they just grapes yeah yeah yeah uh there is a name isn't there um like a brand not brand but like a variety name yeah i don't know what it is he says green grapes i think they might just be green grapes okay if it's just green grapes that's fine and it looked like we could harvest all these green grapes like right now and like all right let's go and he goes

oh no no no no don't eat those and i went what's matter and he says those are concord grapes and they need to be dark dark red almost black before you eat them. And I'm like, oh, so these are like proto. Proto, protocon cord. Yeah. And these are seeded. So when she does get them, she's got to do all,

she got to filter out all the seeds and do the whole mash and everything. So anyway, if anyone lives around me and seriously, this fall, if you want some grape juice, please come over. We have grapes. Wow. Ooh, yum. Yeah, anyway, it was really fun. Yeah, because I mean, it's way more, because you get so much more than you can even possibly

begin to eat. So it's like, all right, we got to make something out of the rest of this. Yeah. He also is crazy about, he has two peach trees, and he's insane about these peach trees. He will let no peach touch the grass ever. Oh, so does he have nets that catch them if they fall, or does he just, he plucks them? He plucks him right on time. So he'll go out every day, every morning, he'll go out first thing. Check the tree out. All right, this one's ripe. We're going to just pluck it. This one over here isn't. Also, these two are too close to each other. So he'd get some rope or some bungee or something and ties one of the branches to something else so it pulls away because you don't want them there's some rule of thumb where if your peaches are anywhere like five inches or less close to each other

that's bad for both peaches on the same line because they're sucking from the same resources right using up the same nutrients and stuff yeah and you also want them if you can not dipping there's a whole gravity thing you want to avoid so he's like he's got some strung up like like like Like, he's taking care of this thing like it's a freaking newborn baby. It's crazy. But his peaches are amazing. They're impeccable. No bugs, no worms.

They're perfect. His yard isn't covered with a bunch of dead tiny ones or anything. He's just out there. And if he has to sacrifice a few for the perfection of one, he'll do it. Right. For the perfect peach. You four have to give your lives so I can have the perfect peach. Yeah.

And so his line and face off would be I could raise a peach for our. I mean, that's what this guy does. Yeah. Anyway, looking forward to that too because that means canned peaches this year, peach jelly, peach jam, like all that stuff. Ironically, they don't use most of what he grows, and he grows enough for, I don't know, family at 10. So Kim, Kim is, it's usually Kim's job to go over there and get it all

and then bring it here and then make our kitchen really sticky for about three months. Of course, yeah, but see, then you get stuff like you said, like peach pie, peach cobbler. Yeah. Oh, man. If you guys lived here, you'd be, we'd be, we'd, we'd, We bring in a whole pile. We love that.

Yeah. We used to have a plum tree here in our backyard, but it would only produce fruit, like, one out of every three years. Something about it being a young tree, so it doesn't produce fruit every year. Oh. Do you ever take, you neither took plums nor left plums? I neither took plums nor left plums, and we pulled that tree out because it was causing problems. Did it, was it a neighbor thing or, like, hang over there? It was too close.

Yeah, well, it was, it was too. close to the fence and its roots were this wasn't the situation with the damn cotton woods that you know too much hassle guy had to deal with but it was another situation where like our sprinkler lines were getting jacked by the invasive

roots like breaking sprinkler lines to get to water and it was it basically just wasn't it wasn't planted with approval from the HOA anyway so it's like all right well let's just get rid of it we could we could use this the art space

for something else better a nice open part of our lawn did you ever see speaking of your old Russian neighbor there was an episode of critical role where Frog Pants friend Liam O'Brien

in the middle of a live thing in front of I don't know 500,000 people live or whatever it was with some crazy number of people totally barked out too much hassle based on what he heard here Did he really? Oh my God, that's fantastic I lost track of where this is, where the timestamp was.

I would love to find it. Why, I didn't just immediately send it to you. I don't remember what happened. I was busy or something. But it was amazing. He just, like, blurted it out. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, right in the middle of the...

And I felt like everybody else on the table was kind of look at it. I'm like, are you okay? Right. Like, read to this... Yeah, if you don't know the back story, it's just some dude, too much hassle. Too much asshole. Russian was that too much asshole. And it was something in the game where he didn't want to do a certain spell or...

or fight something, and it was just like, ah, it's too much hassle. And then somebody sent me that. I was like, oh, no way he did that. It's amazing. Oh, my God. Well, yeah, if anybody runs across that, I would love to see that. That's fantastic. It is really good.

Anyway, it was nice, and we'll be picking green beans and all that shit for the rest of the year. So good job, Kim's dad. All right. Let's move on to a phone call we got from Australia. We like our Australian listeners. It's not just Phil. There's plenty of them over there. And, you know, we love Phil, but, you know, there's more of him.

There's more than just Phil. Like Mark, and he wrote this end to say this. Yeah, good-day, Scott and Brian. Mark from Melbourne again on driving to work, bashing by steering wheel. I thought the center of the United States was a town called rugby. It may well be. I can't check it out because I'm driving. But if you have a look, it may well be right.

I don't know why Australians know more. about America of the Americans. Quiz me. Gone. Quiz me. So he says there's a town in North Dakota. North Dakota is where I've tracked it. North Dakota, yeah.

And that's supposed to be the center of the United States. Now, why they think that, I don't know. I'm looking it up now, 1886. Well, here's why they think that. And because I think they're including Canada and Hawaii in this one. So, like, we've been talking about the geographic center. of the contiguous United States. Yeah, the lower 48.

What's the term? There's a better, there's a conterminous, some like that. But that's what they mean when they say lower 48, though, right? The lower 48, exactly. So I guess if you include Alaska and Hawaii, then this might be the actual, this town of rugby might be the actual.

Geographical center. Interesting. So if that's the case, why does some guy way down there in Australia know this and we don't? That's annoying. I don't like it. What else do we not know about ourselves that everyone else knows? Right, exactly. I'm afraid to look at the chat and see what their answers are.

But still. Contra menace. Conterminous is the term. Are people like continuous? No, not the continuous. Continuous meme would mean it goes forever, right? It just keeps going. forever, yes. And I said contiguous, but there's another one. There's the

contraminius, C-O-N-T-E-R-M-I-N-O-U-S. No, I guess no last I, so contraminous. Contraminus. Or conterminus. There we go. Ooh, I like that. I'm putting the emphassus on the wrong syllable. Conterminus. Okay. Here, I have a pronunciation of it right here. Conterminus. Yeah, you're right. Conterminus. That's it. There, conterminous, United States. That sounds like, I don't know, an evil faction in a science fiction story. It does, yeah. The conterminus are here.

Oh, no, shit. We're going to fight the conterminus. Sharing a common boundary or having the same area, context, or meaning. So contiguous means what? I think it means the same thing, right? Because contiguous just means you can get to all of them from one. It says, okay, here we go. Adjective, sharing an edge or boundary or touching.

Second in line is neighboring or adjacent. And third is connect. connecting without a break. So that's your, that's the one we think of. Yeah. There you go. Connecting without a break. So, yeah. So contiguous. Same thing. Conterminous. Total, total. Contiguous. Ooh, lady. Hello. Contiguous. Contiguous. All right. Ooh. I like how she guis is at the end. That's pretty cool. No, I appreciate it, though, because we don't know stuff. We don't know things. It's funny that it's named rugby, though. I mean, that is kind of, uh. Yeah. The geographic center of North America is named after a game that did not originate in the United States.

Oh, and that's, there we go, geographical center of North America. That's the, that, that's the, um, so includes Canada then, just all of North America. Includes Canada. So not, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's, okay. That would make more sense because it's kind of high. Yep. Up. So this is more like center, east, west, north, south, just.

Exactly. That's why, yeah. That's where the, let's go to rugby. Let's do a live show at Rugby. Let's get it done. Cool. All right. Sounds good. Then we'll go to Rigby, Idaho.

And then we'll go to... Rigby and Rugby? Okay, sounds good. What else we got? Rehugus? There's no other place. All right, you guys. There you go.

Learn something today. And thank you, Australia. Once again, for being awesome, you big giant Queen's penal colony. We love you. Now, the news. Time for a little bit of news brought to you by. Hey, Billy, do you like horror movies? Well, then you will like Gore.

Join Monica and friends as they talk about all things horror. Head over to gorepodcast.com and give it a listen today. Yeah, go check it out. It's very good. You know, people sometimes will ride in and go, who's the woman on your couch parties? And I'll say, well, even though we say her name 50 times during the episode, I'll go ahead and tell you again, it's Monica.

And she co-hosts the show and does it with a bunch of rad. people and you guys should check it out if you like horror movies all right that's right absolutely yeah the um she had some good things to say about long legs actually a few people in uh in our discussions had some good things to say about long legs a new new movie with uh nick cage the serial killer movie i want to see it yeah i am i am very interested in seeing it uh it sounds like i might be able to take tina to that it sounds like it's not you know jump scare gory gross kind of stuff It's more like thrillery kind of stuff. Yeah, hard to catch.

You know, oh, no, it's happened again. We were on his tail, you know, that kind of thriller. That's a little more of my speed, too. Yeah, yeah. People really, let's see it. Here's a great review from the Times in the UK. From the outside, Oz Perkins' long legs looks like just another serial killer flick. But it's that rarity, a horror film that gives you a bona fide case of the hebie-jeebies.

Ooh, I like some hebies and jibis. He-Bs and G-B. I don't like it when I get one without the other, though. No. Don't order He-Bee's and not get G-Bs. What are you even doing? Exactly. Yeah. Excuse me. Waiter. I would like, I'm missing my hebies. Could I have the G-Bs on the side, please? I'd like the heba-jibis, but G-Bs on the side, please. Do you guys take the tail? Does that come with G-Bs, by the way?

Well, it comes with your choice of sides. One side is G-Bs, but you could also get rice peel-off. Yeah. Do you take the tails off the, the, the G-Bs, because I don't like the tails. All right. How are the hebies? Yeah, how are the hebies this time of year? I mean, you've got to be smart about when you're buying them. That's right.

Are hebies in season? Here's the story about a Provo woman. I was just there, so this is perfect. Cool. Oh, this is so right up Stephanie in a Petz's wheelhouse. Oh, good, because a Provo woman created a mobile game. Just kidding. Stephanie.

It's not about that at all. Provo Woman becomes the fastest mermaid in the world, or in the world, at the Merlympics. The Merlympics. Yep. This is a thing, which I did not know was a thing until the story pop. No, I didn't either. Yeah. The volleyball, the volleyball competition is a little awkward, but swimming is great. Can you imagine, like, beach volleyball with those fins on?

I can't, but I think I'd like to see it. Oh, my gosh. Did they be falling all over each other? It'd be terrible. The 100 meter dash, not such a popular event at the Merrill Olympics. Oh, now that I have Peacock for 99 cents for like the six months, I'm watching the Olympics this year. I think I actually care more than usual. You know why I care more than usual?

Because it's at a decent time. Like, it's still France and it's still ahead. But I hate the ones where it's like in China or something. And it's, to me, to me, all I feel like I ever get is highlights. I don't feel like I'm part of the live experience. Sure, sure. And so this is going to feel a lot more like real time. This will be a lot closer.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing the breakdancing competition, which I guess is not going to be returning in L.A. in four years. I didn't know. That was even a thing. Yeah, I didn't either. It's not one of the exhibition ones they're trying to make real. It's actually real right now. It's actually real, yeah.

Oh, my gosh, I didn't know. I will watch the hell out of that. Especially French people, breakdancing. Let's go. right um well anyway provo woman fastest mermaid a lot of young girls pretend to be mermaids while swimming in a pool or in the ocean is that true ladies do you guys fantasize about that is that a thing sure i just don't want to take this article for granted if people really feel that way or not i don't know anyways you know what you know what further assumptions if this this one is

making a leap that has been unproven yeah yeah because i don't think like i don't think my girls Carter, you over there? When you were growing up, did you want to be a mermaid? Uh, no, she says. Okay, all right. Not that you're the final answer on this, but I'm just trying to get a good grassroots kind of straw pole going. Oh, you would play mermaids.

Oh, well, there we go. Okay, well, that's an answer on the positive then, I think. Yeah. All right. Not that you wanted to become a mermaid. I mean, like, you would kind of, what do you see yourself in five years? Yeah.

I'd like to be a mermaid. I'd like to be a mermaid. Did they have mermaid school? I'd like to get my degree, please. Exactly. Well, anyway, this Provo lady made that dream come true and competed as she competed in the Merle Olympics. Mia Sim, she is 22. Now she's digital.

She used to be physical. She used to be a physical sim. They don't do those anymore. She talks like, roo-b-b-b-b-la-la-ha. She got stuck behind a door and died because she couldn't pee. She became the fastest mermaid in the world in May when she competed in the Swiss Merlympics in Geneva, Switzerland. The Merlympics have been around since 2015.

I had no idea. And the competition has held every two years. Sim had officially been mermaiding for 10 years and said the Merlimpics have really boomed in the last five years. Quote, this is an elite athleticism. You can get out of mermaids, Sim said. I don't know what that means. Many mermaids will do pageants or events,

but the Merlimpics are, quote, solely designed to prove athleticism. Sure. Yeah, it's not just about looking good and having pretty fins. I mean, it's about how quickly can you swim? How quickly can you use the gifts that your Lycra suit have given you to get through the water? Yeah. It feels like we don't focus enough on mermaid prowess, you know? It's all about, I want to be when the people are.

We don't care about that. we want to see. What is that a fork? I don't know. Yeah. Fork. I still hate that so much. Anyway, she says, of course, all the events are completed while wearing a full mermaid suit or mermaid gear.

They are a murman gear. Some mer men are involved in this. There are some men doing the murring, meaning their legs are bound from their hips to their toes and a tail. Some mermaids will fancy or wear fancy headdresses and even wigs. to compete or complete their mer look really we're going to they're going to call it mur look but why are they calling it murluck i hate because they're because they're sticking mer in front of everything in this in this article well i mer lipics mur look i mer hate it brian sim placed uh 15th overall in the adult competition uh but won the speed event and broke the

record for mermaid speed i am the fastest to date i currently hold the record she said well good job lady for provo I want to see a photo. Yeah, do they wear shells or anything on the boobers? You know how you do? Yeah, I don't think they, uh... Let's see. Let's see.

They didn't really have a good show. Oh, down low, there's a... She's in, like, pal or something. Oh, here are the five, so there are five events at the Merlympics. So ecology, the athlete dives down and retrieves as much trash as possible in 90 seconds. Okay. Figures. The competitor has to perform three of ten mermaid figures.

All right. underwater posing. Each person dies down, poses for a picture, and then has to swim away for the next person to take their spot. Sim says she thinks this one is the hardest. Rescue. The mermaid has to do a 25-meter submerged swim and rescue a dummy. If they don't rescue the dummy, it becomes trash and it's used in the first one. Wow. Speed the athletes race along the top of the water for 50 meters. Wow. All right then. That sounds like some good stuff going on. I'm not here to, I'm not yucking anybody's fun yum. No, not at all. I think it was really cool. I wanted to see, um, oh there's a shot of her and her uh with her mermaid legs on yeah with the lake pal or something

i can't tell her that is yeah oh yeah okay right something like that it would make sense because she's from here that she would go there to shoot but she's also on her tub there down later oh really okay tub shot uh yeah seems like she's into it tub shot yeah look at you guys we got tub girl here not the one you're thinking of okay that's all like bubbles and stuff and she does have shells on her top for the tub shot. Yeah. Yeah. That's the law in mermaid land. You have to wear the shells.

Ain't nobody got no naked topless mer people. My favorite representation of mer people or mermaids was the Futurama episode where they found the lost city of Atlanta.

And really? Yeah. It's funny. It's fantastic. It's such a good episode. So not Darrell Hannah and Splash. Okay. No, I don't like that movie. Splash annoyed me. Even when I first saw it, yeah, I didn't like it.

I don't know what it was. I think it was just, I think I'm not the target for the fantasy of fish people. Sure, sure. Okay. You know what I mean? So even when I was a kid and like Darren Han is a complete haughty and, you know, Tom, or, yeah, Tom Hanks is kind of breaking out. And you got freaking, what's his name in there? John Candy

John Candy and I'm thinking man this is for me this is so for me and then I watched it and went I don't think that was very good I don't know why just not my thing I don't know I liked it I wonder how it is now Eugene Levy's in there yeah it'd be interesting to see how that

holds up now I might be good for film sack people should just that why not yeah kind of a comedy but more of an adventure thing if we look if we do like not from bosom buddies is what he thinks he could do movies? All right, whatever. Yeah, it was, it was early for him, right?

It was, yeah. It was like, I think before Bachelor Party, I think he'd only done, you know, like made-for-TV movies and bosom buddies at that point. I don't think, I think that was his first film. Yeah, that sounds right to me. Although Bachelor Party may have been his, I mix those two up on the timeline. They may have been back. I think Bachelor Party was right after. yeah or right yeah established himself as a um as a comedian i think at that point yeah he was doing all

the funny stuff that was his job that's right uh let's move on to this story about a onesie you know like babies have them onesies you know what a one yes sure i know what a onesie is yeah uh i wear one at night helps me sleep whatever it takes whatever it takes onesie wearing man named mr pancake got caught hiding stolen hamsters in his pants according to police there's another story coming out of Ohio so maybe they're right about Ohio maybe something's going on there

maybe yeah you know I don't know they're not the new Florida entirely but we didn't do this article before did we? As far as I know we didn't did we? All right. We might have did we talk about it? It sounds familiar but maybe not it could have easily been somebody else with

hamsters. Yeah I don't know if it's just their pants. Seems like something we would definitely put on here before. Well, anyway, police arrested a man, they said, allegedly broke into several businesses in the far west side of Columbus, Ohio, including a pet store. Oh, no, you know what? Did we do this one? It's just a different telling of it.

It's a different telling. And I'm kind of glad we're doing it again because they had this on the news last week, and the audio, the audio was fantastic. Yeah, I think we need to play the audio. You know what it was. Pull that up for me. You know what it was? It was the other story we read was that a bunch of animals got freed. And this includes that. But the other story didn't say anything about gerbils and ferrets in his pants. That's new. And his name being Mr. Pancake, that's all new information. Yeah. Let me see if I can find this on YouTube because there's one in the bottom right that is the, I think it's the one we want. It's the body cam footage, but it's a lot of screaming. I want to see if we can get one that's better. Mr. Pancake

It says here they yell at them and call them Mr. Pancake? Yes. Is that true? The audio, here we go. The audio is fantastic. I can't wait to hear this. All right, you're right? Yeah.

Already, already it's great. Okay, here we go. Discord again, or where are you putting that? Yeah, I'm just putting Discord. All right. Pulling it up. Here we go, everybody. Actually, I can show this.

Here we go. Mr. Pancake, you're under the rest. Don't move. Get on your belly. Get on your belly. Get on your belly. Oh, get on your belly, Mr. Pancake. On your belly.

In the name of the law, pancake, get on your belly. Why is this happening? It's almost like he's playing it up in the name of the law, Mr. Pancake. Yeah. I mean, I think he kind of is, but he must be somebody they're familiar with. Go ahead because, huh? They must be familiar with them. It's not the first time they've run it in Mr. Pancake.

Yeah. But keep going, because I think there's audio where he's saying, what have you got in your pants? Nothing? Okay. A hamster or something like that. All right. There you go on. I got one.

You're kidding me. What the fuck? Give up your other hand. I got it. Breaking and entering. Beth. What's the damage. Oh.

God, there is a turbles. Oh, animals abuse. What the heck? I got gerb. What the heck? Multiple gerbils. There's multiple gerbils in his pants.

They're pulling gerbils out. Multiple gerbils in his pants. Multiple gerbils. This is insane to me. I mean, I wish all arrests were Mr. Pancake level arrest, you know? I do too. I would be such a, such a, I would watch cops if it was all Mr. Pancake. The all Mr.

condition. Yeah, that's amazing. All right, well, good job, Columbus. I'm glad we got more info on this story. Who's got gerbils? In the name of the law, Mr. Pancake. All right, let's talk about the German Navy for a minute. Definitely haven't talked about this before.

The German Navy still uses eight-inch floppy disks, like the big ones, old big ones, ones that we barely had. Not even the five and a quarters of the three and a halfs or whatever. Like the, wow. Yeah, well before our time, these things. They're still using them working, they use them to launch their stuff and do all their, like, codes and everything. And they're working on emulating a replacement. The German Navy is working on modernizing its Brandenburg class F-1-2-3 frigates, which, it's probably more like F-123, which means the ending their reliance on 8-inch floppy disk.

The F-1-2-3 frigates use floppy disk for their onboard data acquisition or Daxis. systems, as noted by Tom's hardware on Thursday. A jean, how do you say that? Great. Gargene Gerardus? Gerdes? They didn't capitalize even the G, so I don't know why they didn't do that. Anyway.

Yeah, it's a blog. It's a blog. A German defense and secretary policy blog by journalist Thomas Weingold, white we gold, notes that the DACs are important for controlling frigates, including power generation, because the operating parameters have to be recorded for a Google translation. These ships themselves specialize in anti-submarine warfare and air defense. So basically it's like their secure way of doing all of this. And if you start to take it into like modern era, not that it would have to be online, but you run the risk of hacking.

Yeah. Yeah, I think there's stuff in the States. We are really liking zip technology as a replacement for this. Feels like the natural upgrade we have been looking for. Who is this I-O-Mega? Put I-O-Mega on the phone. I have a feeling we have some military people who can pipe in on what, because I know we still do a bunch of this here. We have like systems that are ancient that they rely on because they're kind of unhackable or they're so old, nobody, you know,

there's no modern way of like digging into it. There's no internet connection. There's none of that. So it's always really curious to me. It's easy to make fun of, but I kind of get why. Oh, it makes sense. I mean, there was a, wasn't there something we talked about recently that was still using like Windows 98 or, or, because they couldn't upgrade their systems because it then would make it more prone to, to hacking or. Yeah, what was that?

It was something recent about. It was some government thing. And I'm sure. It was some government thing. I know we have IT people out there who work in government positions who have talked before about ancient, having to maintain just ancient boxes like old DOS machines and that's. stuff just because there's no clear path to i mean i'm sure there's an answer it's just it costs a lot of money to overhaul all that and yeah you know i get it but whoever's in charge of that well done man keeping those eight inch floppy's safe i know keep it going yeah keep the magnets away i was always told

don't put no magnets next to those no yeah your copy of doom will disappear right uh well anyway those guys seem cool good good job and good luck germans that that's that's right brain bro by it That's right. It was an airline. An airline was still using Windows 98 to do its like scheduling. And that caused, it didn't come up until there was some problem. Maybe it was Southwest. Yeah. And they had to finally upgrade or figure out the next step or whatever. But they couldn't upgrade because their software wouldn't run on anything newer. What's crazy is they're going to do something with SSDs and they've hired SOB to do it.

And I thought they were out of business. I guess they still do defense contracting. They just don't do cars anymore. No cars anymore. Huh. Yeah. Do you ever have a sob? I didn't know that, yeah, Tristan had a sob for a little while. We didn't, but we got a really good deal on one from a shop that I used to work next to up in Boulder.

And, yeah, really, this sob was great until it wasn't. His sob ran perfectly until it didn't anymore. Then they were very expensive to fix. They were expensive to fix. yeah like um what's the other one uh audies are very expensive to fix if they break oh sure they're nice cars but the minute one goes bad you're like shit and now you're in it for another five grand for this and another five grand for that um anyway let's talk about what a burger never eaten there but we're going to tell the story anyway you ever been you got what you have one

yeah we just started getting them in colorado in uh we got our first one in colorado springs this last year last spring I think and so it's going to make its way up here like crispy cream and in and out burger dead they always start in color of springs probably because it's cheaper and then they move up to the city okay I don't know if we'll ever get them

I'd love it if we got one but yeah they're good yeah are they as good as everyone says or are they just kind of you know I think it's more of the novelty of like oh you could only get them in this area it's like White Castle until you have a white castor like ooh white castle and then it's like oh this is white

Castle? Okay. Well, great. Now I can say I've eaten it. I mean, Waterburger's definitely better than White Castle. And I'd say it's, I might even be better than In-N-Out Burger. But still no Freddy's. Yeah, Freddy's is the best. For me, is like top of the, top of the heap. Same. I love Freddy's. We have this place called, oh, crap. I've talked to about them before. And I forgot the name of the place, but they all, they also have really good burgers. I can't think of the place. So this is a terrible recommendation because I can't remember the name. Tony burger. Tony. Oh, it's a really good place for burgers, but boy, I don't know what it is. I don't remember. It's Tony. I think it's just Tony Burger, not Tony's Burger, but Tony Burger. Okay.

Tony Burger. Yeah, and they're excellent. I think there's only like two, but they're very good and they're local. There's one right by us. Anyway, let's talk about this. So the What a Burger app, you know, like on your phone, became the unlikely power outage map for the entire Houston hurricane mess that they had with all their power out. This is pretty interesting. Fast food chain water burger app had gone viral in the wake of the hurricane barrel.

Is that how we're pronouncing that? Yeah. Yeah, it's barrel. Yep. It looks like a medication, doesn't it? It looks like a pen manufacturer. I think there is a barrel. B-E-R-Y-L.

Yeah. And this isn't a, I know they go through names. Is this supposed to be a person's name? Because I've never met a guy named Beryl before. Yeah. So I don't know what they're doing for Hurricanes. It depends on who says it, I guess. Beryl Lidge.

Anyway, they left around 1.8 million utility customers in Houston, Texas without power, as many of you who we've heard from in Houston know. Hundreds of thousands of those people may remain without power for days as Houston anticipates a heat wave with temperatures climbing into the mid-90s. Amid these frustrations with the local utility company, CenterPoint Energy, which doesn't offer an app, Some Houstonians got creative with their attempts to track the outages, and they turned to the Waterburger app instead. This is mostly about there being tons of Waterburgers all around town.

Yeah, they're so prolific around town. You can tell where the power outage was from which water burgers were out of service or unavailable. Pretty great. It says Waterburger is based in San Antonio. They have a food chain with 127 stores in the Houston area alone. According to Newsweek, it says on the Waterburger app, you can see a map of what, of what a burger locations, starting to sound weird when I say that name over and over. Yeah, yeah.

With an orange logo indicating a store is open and a gray logo, meaning it's closed. So how they would do this is they would see if it's closed, that zone is power, powers out. And if you tracked enough storage, you could see kind of like patterns of where the power's out versus where it wasn't. So they could kind of track, well, let's see. Those three water burgers are now on again. That means that neighborhood should also be on. Like, that's how they've figured it out. Wow.

That's great. to do it. I love it. Pretty great. Yeah. Looking at the Waterburger locations in, I don't know why, I've always heard you pronounce it Waterburger instead of Whataburger, but I might be wrong. Maybe we need, this is a Randy thing for sure. Like Randy would chime in on this.

Oh, it's definitely pronounced Wadderberger. Probably. I've moved Catwoman. Yeah, we know all about your catwoman. But yeah, I'm looking at Whataburger locations in Colorado and nothing, like seven of them, but they're all in Colorado Springs and just. north of Colorado Springs and Monuments. So it's still like, it would be an hour,

maybe an hour straight up for me to get down to the nearest Waterberger and Monument. I kind of want to go, but I don't have one. So I can't go. Hurry up and come here. Soon, soon, my friend. I have to wait for, I mean, we waited forever for in and out. We waited forever for Krispy Kreme. There's these national brands everywhere.

Oh, canes, raising canes. Oh, canes, yeah. That still gets lines. It's just nuts. Yeah. And we have plenty of places. It's not like we're short on places here, but, you know. Yeah.

I like to try all the popular ones, Brian. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's like, you know, getting the regional stuff. It's fun to get the regional stuff outside of the region that originated. Do you want to get, what's the one that the, maybe you have one? The one that the Marky Mark and his brother run, the Walburners. Oh, a Walberger. No, I'm fine with that.

And I can get one in Vegas if I go there. I think there's still one in front of what used to be the ballets, the horseshoe. Gotcha. That's the first place I had. White Castle was Vegas. And I remember at the time going, I get why this is a stoner favorite. Yes, right. Because this is gross and I wouldn't eat this.

It is for those of us who drink, this is great hangover food or great just, just drunk, I need something to absorb all the alcohol in my system. Yeah. And help me get it out quickly. But if you're like just straight up hungry, it's terrible. It's not good. Like, I mean, it'll do the job, but it's so onion-y and so like, it's the wrong kind of oniony and greasy. It's not good.

Yeah. Sorry everybody who in the East Coast thinks it's the greatest thing ever. I think they're terrible. No, I think I like crystals better than, so crystals I had out in Georgia, I believe, when I was out there for the Atlanta Journal Constitution visit. Same deal, right? Little tiny itty-bitty burgers kind of thing? Yeah, it's also a slider crystals.

And then I'm pretty sure I had White Castle during one of the northeastern visits. Yeah. And I was like, okay, all right. My first exposure to what it might look like was Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. Right. That made it sound, oh, everybody's saying White Castle is better.

Well, at least TV's Travis and Easy Reader saying White Castle is better than Crystal. Maybe I had a really bad White Castle or something. But, yeah, the movie, Harold and Kumar, kind of glamorized it. It made it seem like a place people really, really want to go, like really strive to go. Yeah, and it made me want one, and then I got one, and then I hated it. So no more White Castle. I'm done. Nope, no more.

Done. If I somehow magically get drunk once in Vegas, I'll consider it. But other than that, forget it. That is it for our news coverage for today. We're going to take a break. And when we come back, speaking of TV's Travis, he'll be here. He's got some trivia for us. That'll be fun.

It's his time of the month. And it'll all be great, but we have to play a song first, Brian. What is it? Yeah, how about some ska punk, some Orange County ska punk vets, the Goodwin Club. This is a brand new single from them. Big thanks to Wiretap Records for sending this one. over to me. Going to the O.C. for some ska punk. This is See All Color by the Goodwin Club.

Yeah, it's too late for yesterday Because these times are strange, yeah It's hard to change Come take the past away Because there's too much pain to just let it go away And then it takes our whole life We wanna feel the sound, we want to feel the sound, We want to be the sound

And if we shine your life Bright The world will turn around And see our color Oh See our color Oh See our color

And we can't break We can't breathe You better in day Religious It's going down The train It sounds like these We need to shine

Because there's too much pain So let it go away And if it takes our whole life We want to be the sound We want to be the sound And if we shine our light The world will turn around I see our color

If a city's stare And the underwear I do nothing but ignore But it's everywhere And the where we glare And it's out of control You're trying And it takes our whole life

I see your coming The world will turn around I see your coming You see your gun Thank you very much Oh, thank you very much Goodbye A lunatic who always causes chaos

And we've returned. Who was that one more time? Sure. That's the Goodwin Club and a song called See All Color. Just released as a single, no album mentioned. But again, big thanks to Wiretap Records for sending that one along. Very nice. Let's bring in Travis.

Let's do some trivia. Let's have some fun. Yeah. Let's play his intro. This is Travis, and you'll do well to listen carefully to what he has to say. That's right. Travis, joining us. as he always does. Travis Crawford,

podcaster extraordinaire and good friend of the program. Travis, welcome back to the show. Thanks for having me back. Again, a month later. Yeah. Yeah. I saw you on, I saw a recent concert from Fleetwood Mac, and I think you're looking great up there.

You're looking real good. Well, thanks. I try. I try. The drums, yeah, you know, seeing you behind the drums every time. Just looks better and better. I do like the fact that people are now coining this as TV's Travia. Oh, I like it.

I like that. That's good. Travia. I agree with Tandagosa. It does sound like a sweetener. Yeah. Like a non-caloric sweetener. Right, great.

Exactly. Travia. Substitute trivia. Yeah. So I have to say, because the conversation leading into this, White Castle is better than Crystal, but it's like a coin flip. Honestly, they're both just, they're both just greasy slider drunk food. Like, that's what they are.

Which came first? I assume Crystal came later, right? It's like a. Actually, White Castle. Oh, yeah, White Castle came first. White Castle is like, I think the oldest fast food, the original fast food restaurant was a White Castle. I think you're right. Yeah, I think so.

And they're really onion-y because they're not cooked on a griddle. The burgers are steamed on a pile of onions. Gross. Oh, really? Yeah. Gross. That just, I like onions, too, but they don't do it right. It's not good.

Steamed on a pile of onions. Yeah. Showtime. Yeah, why not? But are they, are they, my memory of them are that they have like a hundred of them in front of the cook guy back there. They're just laid out like for miles. Yeah. The Vegas one's kind of small, but, yeah.

Yeah, it's just a giant griddle with a bunch of, with huge pile of onions on it and a bunch of burger patties. And there you go. I've made them at home. They're much better when you make them at home for a lot of reasons. But I like them. Also, I will, I also wanted to mention long legs. I saw over the weekend, real good. Yeah.

Definitely go see it, Brian. Lots of hype on this one. Currently leading the box office for the weekend. Is it really? Nice. I have to figure out when because we've got trivia tonight, nothing tomorrow night, Mystery Day Thursday, Tadpool Meetup Friday,

seeing the Colorado Rapids play on Saturday, going out for acreage cider on Sunday. Like tomorrow night is our only free night for the next week. And I'm thinking Tina's probably not going to want to go do something. So, might have to wait until next week, but we got Deadpool next week, too. Yeah. Deadpool. Come right out. It's happening fast, man.

It really is. Well, let's get to the trivia. I know you've been preparing something, so lay it on us. Let's see how we do. I got a little something. We'll do our Name That Thing trivia. I will give you a trivia bit, and then you will bet on how many clues you need to answer it.

We're going to start. So coming into this after six months this year, six quizzes. Brian is leading four to two. So Scott, you got a little catching up to do. Wow. Okay.

And we're going to start with Scott. You get to bid first. All right. On round one, we are looking for an actor. Okay. And I'm going to give you characters that this actor has played.

So character names. All right. Cool. I love it. We'll start the bidding at six. So you can go up to six. Up to six. I think I can do it in four

four okay yeah Brian you have the chance to do it for three I'll try three okay if you don't get it Scott does get the fourth

back or Scott you can try to do it in two yeah I'm tempted being behind I'm just tempted to go all out I'll try it in two let's see what we can do here

I try it in two okay that actor all right All right, here are the two character names you get, Scott. Loki, Eli Gold. Loki and Eli Gold. Well, I don't think it's Tom Hiddleston.

But I think it might be that old guy that everyone loves. Richard, or not Richard, not Richard. shit. I know who this is. Going to need an answer. It's like Richard or something. He's an old guy. And he's Loki in Loki as old Loki or like classic Loki. Richard something.

Oh, I got it. Richard E. Grant. It's Richard E. Grant. It is not. No. Oh. Really? Wow. Okay. I would have, that would have been my guess, so I'm glad that didn't go to me. Damn it. Brian, you do get one more, Brian. Yeah. You will get the third one. The character is glitch.

Glitch. Glitch. Glitch. Glitch. Glitch. What did that come from? Okay. Well, question's a glitch. Damn it. Just wait until you hear who it is. Yeah, I guess so. Loki. So, so I'm just trying to think if there was anybody else in Loki, besides the female Loki, and I can't remember her, never be able to pull out her name. So it might have been an older thing where someone played Loki like, geez. I still can't figure it out. Oh, no, no, no. There was a Loki that was not a Marvel character. And it was,

Um, it was, uh, wasn't it the, it was the thing that Jim Carrey wore and the mask was made by this other Loki and, um, what are you hymn about back there? Uh, yes. Um, God, I'm never going to be able to pull it out. Let's say, um, let's just say Jim Carrey even though, I know. And it is not Jim Carrey. Yeah. Yeah.

Here's a couple more characters, so neither one of you get it, but here's a couple more characters, see if maybe you can figure it out. Brian, this is a character from a movie that you might like, but it's Peers. Pears is the name? Peers. Okay. There's also Boris Grishenko. Oh, God, that's so familiar. Kurt what was the last one?

Oh, Alan Cumming. Oh, Alan Cumming. It is Alan Cumming. Wait, where did he play Loki? Peers in Spice World, right? Yep, Peers and Spice World. When was he, when was he Loki? I don't know when that happened.

He was Loki and Son of the Mask. Son of the Mask. Son of the Mask. So, Brian, you were on the right track with the Jim Carrey. It was the sequel, though. It was the really horrifically bad sequel. He played Loki. What a great, what a great misdirect to give us on that one.

And Glitch. What was he? Where was he glitch? That was Tin Man, the sci-fi channel two-part Alice in Wonderland, or not Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz. Wizard of Oz thing, yeah, okay. All right. Oh, great. Wow, that's good.

Jeez. All right. So nobody gets the first one. So round two is going to be Brian starting the bidding. We're looking for a movie based on cast members, actors in this movie. Again, the bidding will start at six. All right. I will go five.

All right, Scott And I can go I can go as low as three Any number You can go as low as you want, yeah One, you could go I'll go with Go one

I'm not doing one I'll do three though I'll try three Three, okay All right I will say name that movie All right Okay

Scott here are three cast members From this movie Okay Johnny Lee Miller Kevin McKid Robert Carlyle Robert Carlisle Hmm

Um Um Um Is it Um I can't imagine it's this Because I don't As soon as I heard you say the first guy I went

Oh it's got to be hackers But I don't think it's Um Carlisle and hackers I don't remember Is he a bad guy or something? Is hackers your guess? I'm going to say hackers.

I don't know. I don't know any other Johnny D. Miller movies. Damn it. So, Brian. Oh, shit. It just hit me. I know it. Brian, you had guessed four or five?

Five. All right. So you get two more. Okay. I'm going to lose this one. Your other two are Kelly McDonald. Damn it! And Ewan Bremner.

Damn it! All right. So I know it. I'm pretty sure it's one of the 28 this later movies. At least that's my guess. And I'm thinking it's the, which one is Carlisle in? Oh, so, let's see. One of them had Eccleston.

Is it 28 weeks later? That's my guess. Nope. Incorrect. Nope. It's train spotting and I want to kill myself. Oh, train spotting, of course. It is train spotting.

the last one would have been you and McGregor I knew it as soon as it just gosh dang it dude Begby Fregan Carlisle was Begby and yeah

Kelly McDonald's shoot It really The Johnny and the Miller part threw me Because I just don't think of him I just don't think of him In anything actually I just don't think of that guy very often It's like the two things I think of

Because I love hackers So I think of him in that And then Sickboy I know he did Elementary and he was with Sherlock in that, which is a better show than I think it gets a lot of credit for.

Yeah. Yeah. For sure. All right. Round three is our musical round. Our musical round begins. Scott, you're going to start the bidding. Now, I have five segments of one, two,

four, eight, and 11 seconds. One, two, four, eight, and eleven. Yeah. This is not going to go my way. It never does. What was the one

before, or after four? Eight, was it? Eight. Eight seconds. And then the one below four was three? Two. Two. Oh, shit. I'll say four. I can do it in four. Four seconds, all right? Brian, do you want to try and do it in less? I'll take the two. Yeah. Two seconds?

Scott, do you want to try for one? You want to make Brian go for two? Name that song. All right. Brian, here's your two seconds of this song. Oh, gosh, dang it. This would be garbage. I think I'm paranoid.

Shit. That is correct. Yeah. I knew it as soon as I heard it. I could have done it in one. Damn it. I was so chicken. I'm chicken of the music ones.

They scare me. You do better with the music. ones and you think. I know, but I'm up against Brian. It just, it's intimidating because I know how much he knows and it just throws me. All right. Next up. All right. So Brian's up one nothing now, round four. And we're going to do a band this time with album titles. Brian, you can start the bidding. We've got the bidding starting at six album titles. Okay. This has been tough in the past. So I am going to, I'm going to start with six. Scott, do you think you can do it? less.

I can do it in four. I can do it in four. Four. All right. Brian, you want to try for less than that? Do you want to make Scott go for four? This music ones kill me, dude.

Yeah. I'm going to regret it. I'll say three. Yeah, go ahead and do it in three. All right. Brian, here are your three album titles. They are War Child, Storm Watch,

Crest of a name. like Final Fantasy server names that's what you sound like I know it does sound like that well oh geez War Child Stormwatch crest of a nave

War Child sounds so familiar yeah so to Stormwatch I will let's say this sounds like you know kind of fantasy

influenced rock or metal or maybe maybe the first Grammy winner for heavy metal let's say Jethro Tull oh I think that's it that is correct

damn it sitting on a park bitch yeah you got it if it had gone to four a couple others that I had because they had a lot of albums thick as a brick yeah

that would have been yeah the broad source and the beast. Either of those would have been a gimmee for me. Yeah.

I feel like we don't hear enough about Jethro Toll anymore. It feels like they've just, you know, people forgot about them. A little bit. Yeah. A little bit.

A little bit. Crest of the nave, by the way, is the one that won the best metal performance Grammy. Oh, really? Wow.

So I had to make sure that was on the list because you and Hammond talk about that. Any chance you get. We do, yeah. We absolutely do. Because it's just so,

it is the craziest thing that I think has ever happened It really is. Yeah. All right. So what that means is that Brian has won this month. Yes, he has.

Gosh, dang it. However, we do have a round five. I want to do just for fun. Yeah, yeah. Because I've got a literary character. Okay. And we'll go by story titles that this literary character is in. Okay.

And, Scott, you're going to start the bidding. I've got six. I'll do five. All right. I'll try four just because I'm really this is this feels like such unknown territory given the low stakes I will say I can do it in three cool okay Scott here are name that literary character okay three three titles uh the adventure of the speckled band okay the sign of four yeah a study in scarlet oh I don't know this um

Legulus from the Lord of the Rings. I have no idea. I don't know. Incorrect. Ryan, you might know. Do you want a fourth one? Give me the fourth one.

Fourth one would be the adventure of the musgrave ritual. I mean, is it Sherlock Holmes? Oh, shit. It is Sherlock Holmes. Shit! Of course it is. I haven't read any of those books. Study in Scarlet was the only one of the four.

that you gave me that I recognized. I was waiting for Hound of the Bastervilles is like the, it was like the giving me, but that'd have been the sixth. That would have been the sixth one. You also have stuff like his last bow, the adventure. A lot of them, because all of the shorts are like the adventure of and then the thing. The adventure of the dancing men, the resident patient, whatever, all of those. I would have gotten any that were titled Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Thing. I would have nailed that.

Of course. Encyclopedia Brown and the... Yeah, you gave me the name of the guy, I probably could get it. But yeah, that's... Classic literature and I do not... We're not the best of friends. But good job, Brian. You killed it.

Once again. And that one didn't even count for anything. That was just a freebie. That was a freebie. Still one. So, as always, there is a theme running through what I have here. Any ideas what that theme might be? All right.

So let's look at what we've got here. We've got... Hold on. Let me pull up my list here. because I was writing these down because of that. Alan Cumming, train spotting, I think I'm paranoid, Jethro Toll, and Sherlock.

These are so... Chat says all Brits, is that they all British? Scottish? Close. Scottish, all Scottish, actually. Yeah, because Shirley Manson is Scottish. I didn't know Jeff Roeckon had Scottish origins. I had no idea.

Yeah, they... They formed as a band in, oh, I can't remember the name, but it was in England, but Ian Anderson is Scottish. He was born in Scotland. And you're going there soon, so you probably got this on the mind, right? Thinking about it. Yeah, that was just it. I'm going, I actually leave Saturday to go for a week in Scotland, followed by a few days in Ireland and England. Nice.

Oh, my God. You're going to have such a great time. Yeah, you'll love it. Are you kilting up for the whole thing? I'd be kilting the whole time? I'd probably be the only person wearing a Kilt, so no. I don't think I'm going to take it with me this time.

That'd be amazing. But you've got, do you have heritage there? Like, you know, history? I do, actually. Yeah, I was talking to my dad. He's been tracing our family line back. And so I've got a couple of places I want to go to see if I can find some grave sites in Scotland and in Ireland because our family actually went from Scotland, from Crawford, Scotland,

to Donegal, Ireland for a lot. little while before coming to the States. Oh, wow. Cool. Speaking of Alan... Great if you could find some of that stuff. Yeah. Speaking of Alan Cumming, he was the bad guy in... Oh, maybe I'm thinking of somebody else. I'm thinking of the Roth guy. From Reservoir Dogs. Can't think of his name. Tim Roth?

Tim Roth. He was the bad guy in Rob Roy, which is a very Scottish film. You know what you are to me, Robert Roy McGregor. I remember that movie. It was basically taken. I understand you will teach me how to properly pronounce that town. She'll send you a 32-minute audio file in the Discord that teaches you how to pronounce it. Yeah. She'll just yell at me when I'm there. Maybe people will think you're Mick Fleetwood while you're there. Maybe. Maybe. Who knows?

Keep a couple of drumsticks in your back pocket and just see if anybody asks to take a selfie with you. Yeah. Or just stand there, stand with weird scarves and hold an apple or whatever the hell he did. Right. well that's awesome I'm excited for you I guess you'll be home or you'll have done that and be back by the time

we do this again so you can give us a full report yeah tell her how the trip goes yeah go ahead sorry oh I was listening

and in the meantime an episode of weight you haven't seen will go out that has Scott in it yeah while I'm gone oh cool that's right yeah forgot you guys did that finally watched the Antman the Wasp

and the quantumania business which now I'm convinced we didn't talk about this on the episode, but I'm convinced they named it that because of the little trick they did at the end with the title card where they, where Ant Man is in the word quantum mania. It's very clever. Very clever, MCU, very clever. Anyway, see what I thought. You might be surprised. Travis, it's always good having you on. Find him as TVs, Travis, wherever you find the socials. We'll talk to you next time. Bye now. He's got an AC bone right in his face that whole call. It's not a problem. I heard that, yes. It made me relax. It made me feel like I was in a nice, comfortable room with good air. That's a little, exactly.

TV's Travis and some white noise. Yeah. Good combo. Nothing wrong with that. I'll tell you what else is the truth. We're out of here. We're done. Today is a day that you're going to want to tune into frogpants.

TV live today at noon because it is our monthly, speaking of monthlies, monthly time hanging out with Greg Street and crew over at Fantastic Pixel Castle for an episode of Word on the Street. Today we're talking with the art director, among other people, and we've got some cool concept art to show like on stream that nobody's seen before so super excited about this if you are following the creation of that video game over there

this is going to be a good one so do check that out that'll be up on the podcast as well at frogpants.com slash street and I think that's everything else I got Brian you got anything else you want to... I got nothing. It's going to be

today is going to be a lot of catching up with stuff here in the basement and I might work on airbrushing some Spider-Man. I've got some Spider-Man pieces to airbrush, so I'm going to record that. Very nice. Tell me more about the song we're about to hear. Oh, the song, yeah.

This is going out to John Meadows. John says, hey, Brian, my name is John Meadows, and on July 12th, my wife, Nikki and I will celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary. I know there's no show on the 12th, so whenever you have an open date would be great. I put some inflection in there. I'm sure he didn't intend. guys for all you do to keep us entertained. Then he goes, Nicky, over the past 21 years, we've had a lot of ups and downs, but I couldn't imagine going through this journey with anyone else but you. I love you so much, and I always will, John. Oh, it's adorable. It's adorable. This

is a cover that I hadn't heard before that he told me about, and it's perfect, and it's now added to the official Coverville Library. This band called Thunder and Rain, and a single that they released in 2018 covering Guns Neroza's Sweet Child O' Mine. She's got a smile that it seems to me, She's got a smile that it seems to me, reminds me of childhood memories, Everything was as fresh as a bright blue sky. Now and then when I see her face,

it takes me away to that special place. If I stare or too long, I'll probably break down and grow. Oh, sweet child of mine. Oh, sweet love of mine She's got eyes She's got eyes of the bluest skies As if they thought of rain I'd hate to look into those eyes and see you know to pain

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place where as a child I'd hide And pray for the thunder and the rain that quietly passed me by eye I am sweet child of mine oh sweet love of mine I'm going to be.

Oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet child of mine. Oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet love, mine. Oh, oh, sweet love, love, love. Ha! Ha! I'm going to be able to be.
