I'm Scott Johnson. Brian Nibbitt is here as well. As always. Hello. As all. I'm here as all. Yep. I meant to say as always and as well. Brian is here as well. Yeah. And what came out was wrong. Sure, sure. Hey, it happens. It happens. Welcome, everybody. It's a Thursday. We're glad to be back. However, today's a little short. No windy today. About an hour of fun. So welcome to the show. I have a thing.

like to call it a compressed like you're getting all the fun of TMS compressed into one hour like that's right like yeah it's like one of those you know those small strawberries and you eat and it's like oh my god this has more flavor than one of those big stupid strawberries yeah all that flavors compressed in that little tiny i like the idea of a big stupid strawberry big stupid strawberry you know those big stupid strawberries that aren't even strawberry shaped anymore they're like they're like almost like two strawberries been stretched out and there's There's like a thing between them, like a wall between them, and they have no flavor. They're all, you know, they're red.

Yeah, those are like proof that they're way over processed and grown sunny, right? Because nobody's yard, nobody in their, like, proper garden is pooping out, two-sided strawberries with no taste. What the hell is that about? Exactly. Two-headed strawberries. If I want, I want the flavor, I want the strawberry flavor, I don't want all the effort of having to have like, three bites to finish a strawberry that doesn't taste as good as a one-bite little mini strawberry. That's right.

And look, if you're going to, I'll say this about it if you're missing windy today. Here's just a taste of windy, all right? The assumption is porn and, yeah, woo. All right, porn. Here's another one. I don't know what this one is. Orange-based chippery. Orange-based chippery.

Excellent. How about this one? Oh, hell no. Oh, hell no, she says. Here's a good one. All kids are little cheating, sneaky little butts. Yeah, yeah. She was going to say something a lot worse there twice.

You can tell she was going to say. Yeah, she had both sneaky and butts were almost something very different. Well, hey, everybody, we're back. Brian, look, sometimes, sometimes, let's put it this way. Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in. That's the best way of saying it. I mean, you mentioned it yesterday, but No Man Sky put out this huge update. And that was enough to get both of us suckered into downloading it and playing it again,

or at least, I got it downloaded. You actually played it. I actually played it. And I was like, this morning, I'm like, so I got it downloaded yesterday. During a conference call with a client, I just had it, you know, updating the background. And this conference call over Zoom,

she decided to eat macaroni and cheese. Do you mind if I finish my lunch while we're meeting? I'm like, and I really want to say, yeah. I do mind a lot. Call me back in 20 minutes. And I should have done that. because it was basically like my zoom screen is down here in the bottom corner that's where that's where you are right now yeah um chat is right above it right there you're right down there and it was basically like like every time i look over that corner she's shoving macaroni and cheese in her mouth and i'm like i just can't look at you when you're doing that let's talk to you about your happy to talk to you about your website but i just can't look at you and like you know it's in a plastic tupperware and it's really close to you to the microphone. She's on a laptop.

So I hear of the fork hit in the sides of the plastic the whole time. Oh, my gosh. Ew, and it's it's a macaroni and cheese. Yeah. Oh, I guess it wasn't Zoom. It was Microsoft Teams, but it was in the same

location. Sure. Yeah, and so it was like, all right, how quickly can we be done with this call? No, if you've got a thing with hearing people eat when you're on a call or whatever, Mac and cheese has to be blurred. Yeah. And, you know, Amy's saying,

just turn the camera off. Totally could have done that. It's less about the camera. The camera is one thing. I can get away from that. I cannot look at the camera or look at the screen. Oh, turn the camera off.

I'm sorry, I see what you're saying. Like, not me turn my screen off. Yeah, but the sound, you can't get away from the sound. It's like, I need to be able to hear what you need done to your site, but I don't want to hear you consuming a box of craft.

Thanks. Yeah, that's disgusting. that even i don't have quite the sensitivity to you that the brine does but if you're eating mac and cheese yeah and i'm on a call with you that's you may as well that's you'll give me the phobia by doing that exactly yeah was it misophonia i mean that poor scott you've been at the brunt of like um hey scott you eating a sandwich like we're doing uh couch party or something and and all and all it takes by the way with brian is like if i take like one corn nut Brian he knows he notices yeah i hear it And I'm, like, finishing your lunch there?

So I recommend, I'm going to make this recommendation, do not eat food while talking to Brian. Just don't do it. Yeah, don't do it. I mean, I'll go out and have a meal with you. Like, you know, we go to a restaurant. Tadpoolers come to town all the time, and if they have time and I have time and works out, then we'll go and get food together all the time.

But, boy, I said time, like 18 times. A lot of times. yeah a lot of times but so for at a meal totally works totally good right you know

but don't talk with your mouthful and don't chew with your mouth open those two things again that I cannot the dude does not abide by any either of that it's just the thing and it's fine and I respect it

I think you know we've all got our we've all got our things oh you know what I was going to ask you is and I think maybe I've asked you before but it was on film psych or something so you can answer it again you're watching a movie

like, I don't know, whatever, and there's like five people at a table and the main character's half a mouth full of sandwich and they start talking. Does that bug you even in that scenario or is it different? No, not usually because, I think because it's, I mean, it would bother me if I were also a character, a movie around that table. I don't know why it is. It's like, okay, well, that's obviously a character choice that, you know, the character is, you know, the character is, you know, know, Busey is eating that meatball sub that he got from Johnny Utah, too. Yeah. Yeah, that would be

like the breakfast the breakfast they're having in reservoir dogs probably a little annoying. There's a lot of eating there. Probably a little annoying. And I don't know if Bishemi is talking about, if he's got food in his mouth, if he's got a half a pancake in his mouth

when he's talking about the real meaning of material girl. Yeah. No, like a virgin. Like a virgin. That's it. Oh, man. That movie.

Left a mark on me. Anyway, that has nothing to do with anything else. So, yeah, downloaded the update to No Man Sky during that call, but didn't have time to jump in and start playing it until this morning. I'm like, all I've got my, I've got music all queued up for the show, I've got all the other prep. I'll do, I'll check email and then I'll play maybe half an hour of No Man Sky. And 90 minutes later, it's 30 minutes to show time. And I'm like, all right, well, I guess, I guess this is exactly what I expected from No Man Sky. And I initially launched my save, 44-hour saved game.

And I'm on a space station and it's like, okay, go hire an armorer and then go do this. And then go explore the center core of the galaxy. And I'm like, oh, I forgot how to do any of this crap. All right, I'm starting to do a game because there's a little bit of tutorial mode that I need. Yeah. that happens when you go a long time plus if you appeared in a station the station's got a complete overhaul they're all different it does yeah like i'm used to the the station having the um the kind of the runway in the middle yeah and then two big stairs on the sides and then uh you know all the stuff

is on either side of the uh the runway in those two high platforms now you go up there and there's like a food court with a whole bunch of dudes walking around in it kind of on the middle level I don't know what's going on the top level. It just looks like I'm accessing storage containers. And they're way less, like the stations are way less the same. So if you go to another one, you're not going to see the same layout either. Oh, really? Oh, that's cool.

Good. They added that a few updates or maybe one or two updates ago, and it was kind of jarring. I was like, wait a minute. The one thing that this game was never going to change, it felt like, was this hallway to land in, turn around, go up the thing. There's this guy selling on this side, and these guys over here got Quest business. Instead, it was like, holy shit. Yeah. Interlopper.

Hello. Interloper. Exactly. Yeah. And then you're like, and then this thing changes, you're like, wait a minute. I'm on like, I'm on like, this is like Cloud City over here. And now this one over here feels like tattooing. It was like this crazy change.

Oh, that's cool. Yeah, that's awesome. But I did, you know, start over and start on my planet. And I immediately noticed like, oh, this just feels, this just looks. this just looks richer environment, feels more, more, just more beautiful. Like I don't think they increase the depth, like how far you can see, but there were times there was like a storm coming in and you're getting water effects on the lens or on your view and stuff like that.

And it's just, I love it. Well, here's what's interesting is I theorize this yesterday, but their new game coming out at some point called Light No Fire. It's another great big thing, but it's more fantasy-based. You're on a single planet, you know, doing stuff. It looks really neat. But I theorized yesterday that some of the stuff, the changes to the environments of the planets may be them rolling some of that tech back to No Man Sky.

And I heard an interview yesterday with the founder of the company, and sure enough, Sean Murray said, yeah, that's exactly what we're doing. we're taking some you know breaking cool stuff in the new game yeah that we're already we've already innovated for the new game and we're just going to

yeah and they're rolling it's not even shoehorn I mean it just feels like it's got this layer of polish and yeah that's awesome so well done guys I can't believe they started by making Joe Danger look at them now is that really that was Hello Games first game was Joe Danger

their first two games were Joe Danger and Joe Danger 2 then no man's guy. Then they did that last campfire, that little game. I don't know if you remember that. That was an awesome little game. And then Light No Fire is their next big thing. Wow. And do we have a, do they have a date release date for that? TBA, it says. Okay. All right. You know what? That's fine. I'm not in any hurry.

I'm going to, I'm hooked back into Astroeneer Deluxe and I'm, you know, you're going to be playing this one for a while. Yeah. And I'm sure about the time I finished this Astroeneer 2.1. 0.0, there'll be a new, like, oh, we've completely re-innovated the Astroeneer game and a whole new game there, too. Yeah. What's crazy is No Man Sky feels like a game that three, 400 people make? Yeah. It's like when they started anyway, it was four people. Get out, really? Four people making that game. When you said that, I would, you know, it feels like a game that, you know, 100 people or 200 people made. I was expecting to say, no, just 50 people involved with this. Or like 12 people. Yeah. So here's what's crazy. Now they've got this other game going. They've had other stuff in between. The four guys are still there. You know, all the four co-founders and they're the ones that started it and we're working on at the beginning. They now have 45 employees. Still not quite 50 all these years later. You'd think they would be, you know, whatever they had. Let's see, their total equity is something like $140 million or something. They're doing good. I love these guys. Wow. They're like the fairy tale version of fixing a thing and making it right. I love it.

Well, anyway, I'll be playing more of that later. Hopefully, maybe this weekend I'll take it on the steam deck when I escape with my wife. There you go. Oh, she'll love that. Let's take Scott away for a nice little vacation, getaway, and hold on, hon, get a place of no man's guy. Oh, you know what? I probably should be streaming this. So let me hook up a...

Yeah, let me get some remote streaming going and let's pretend I never left home. You go out and get something neat, hon. I'll stay right here in the hotel room and play. well i have to check with each other's progress that game's rad it's fun to fun to get in again yeah it'll be cool to see yeah let's see where we're at uh on tuesday when we're when we reconvene indeed um got a couple of calls to play one is a correction for half asses and uh i'll let it speak for itself here you go hi this is darcy calling from phoenix um i was just listening to episode 2675 alarm diaper episode that title and on the half asses segment

You had a question that had to do with anatomy, and one of the answers was the word duodenum, which Brian pronounced duodenum, and I'm an X-ray tech, and I've heard that word a lot, and I'm here to tell you it's duodenum, not duodenum. It's like pronouncing thermometer, thermometer, thermometer. Wait, wait, wait, that's not how you're supposed to pronounce thermometer? I know. This whole time I've been confused about thermometers. Now, here's the thing, this guy says, you know, right after that episode, Dr. Tolbert chimed in on our little group chat that we have with Jerry and Dan Patrice and said, you know, he explained with the duodenum or duodenum or whatever, and I'll explain that in a second.

He says it's the first 12 inches of the small intestine as it leaves the stomach. It's also the part of the small intestine where the ducts from the gallbladder, liver, and pancreas, squirt their digestive juices. And then I replied, and I said, oh, and I just realized it's pronounced duodinum, right? Yeah. And he says, duodenum, or duodenum. Duoden is what he said, yeah. Yes. Duo equals two, and denum is a weird Latin or denom is declension for 10.

but you'll hear five different pronunciations even among doctors. I use our best guess at actual Latin, but it was dead before I was born. Ha ha. But yeah, so, House, he says, yeah, I've heard House in the R call it the duodenum, the duodenum, whatever. It's a weird word based on a dead language. Say it how you want. Yeah, it feels like one of those may be a little bit of looseness to it. Here's how OpenMDMDNA says it.

Duodenum. They say duodenum. Duodenum, which is exactly, that is what. Dr. Jerry said. So there you go. Do a deem. Which is different than our dude, which is different than what Brian said. So what I take from this is, everybody should say whatever they want.

We know what you're talking about, you know? That's right. Exactly. So do deenum. Yeah. But I also love that because the thermometer thing made me laugh. So nicely. Thermometer is great.

Yeah. When I was, so sixth grade. Yeah. We were, this was, let's see, I was in Foster Elementary School. um and we were doing like this thing in foster oh foster's the name of the school foster's the name yeah i wasn't in a foster school okay i was like what does that mean exactly all right i know it's it was such a dumb name uh named after somebody named after somebody named foster what a dumbass anyway um we were taking turns reading in class and um uh we were each taking a paragraph

and i got one and i was reading it out loud like basically it's like where you read out loud and and I got to a word that I wasn't sure I knew I'd known the word because of reading. I knew what it meant and I don't think I ever said it out loud and I pronounced it ignorant. Ah, ignorant. Ignorant. I like that. And the teacher just goes, ignorant.

To this day, anytime I see that word, it's like he was both correcting me and insulting me at the same time. That's amazing. You can do that. All you have to say is the word. the tone is if you say it in the right tone it is a yeah it's it both an insult and a correct right exactly it's a correction and an insult i love that you can't even icore reminds me by the way happy birthday isn't it uh icor's birthday oh is it is it i don't know is it is your birthday

today icor maybe no no no no it's not we should celebrate no no no it's not icores who's i saw kevin's heaven's which kevin's the k t data's birthday oh maybe it's k t data's birthday because he's kevin yeah he's Kevin he's Kevin the data yeah Kevin Kevin Tech right yeah Kevin did I miss that I think we both missed it oh man I wished him happy birthday on Facebook if that's something I haven't done anything reminds me Yosemite I pronounced Yosemite as a kid and the name of the hotel as I described it to my

mom and my uncle on a road trip was the Ramada Inn the Ramada Inn ram it in let's go stay at the rammed it in that's amazing yeah i got a million words like this but i i'll tell you what the um uh duo what is it now duodenum do adenum do adenum there it is um that's i will never forget do aden meyers you also can't say ignorant without me thinking immediately of south park and the um the michael jackson episode where he kept going that's ignorant That's ignorant. That's ignorant.

Do you remember that? Oh, yeah. Oh, my gosh. It's just in my head. You say the word ignorant. That's all I think of. Immediately think of that South Park episode. We also got a call about the anchor I got yesterday.

Where is it? Here it is. Oh, you got an anchor? Yeah, remember the, um... Oh, the anchor, A-N-C-H-O-R. Yeah, sorry, spelled it wrong. Yes. You spelled it like the company that sells every battery charger known to man.

Yeah, this is definitely not something they made. But this guy made it. And I didn't know that. I wasn't sure what this was about. Oh, shit. It's over there now. I'll get it in a minute. Anyway, the whole point of pulling that out and showing everybody.

It dropped anchor. It did drop anchor. And it's way over there. All right. Well, whatever. Wow. Here's his call about that. Hey, Scott.

This is Brent, who sent that box with the metal anchor and the Immorten Joe mask. That was fun to make. Thank you for the athletes on that. I hope you're able to do anything with it. The metal anchor, I didn't put a note about it. about that because it was sort of a last minute ad. Some years ago, before you concluded the instance podcast, I had actually cast a few Jaina Proudmore anchors for some folks, and I had an extra I was going to send you, and I just forgot about it until just now when I sent that

box. So that's all that is, is a Jena Proudmore family anchor, and I don't know what you do with that. Anyway, thanks a lot, and love the show. Bye. Are you kidding? I'll tell you what I do with it. I take it way more seriously, and I, Not that I wasn't taking it seriously, but like this is way more meaningful now because I'm a giant Jaina fan. I love that idea. And the fact that you made it makes it even cooler,

I will treasure this. It's very, very cool. And it's a little miniature grappling hook for Phoebe. Yeah, exactly. I can keep her. Hey, come here. Exactly. I love that idea.

We're way up to the countertop. Yeah. Why not? But I'll tell you what. It doesn't seem like I treasure it when I throw it halfway across the room. well yeah there's that although it held it didn't bend or do anything so we're good no it looks pretty solid is that pewter do you think actually if i had to guess i'd say this was pewter he didn't say yeah it's just it has the consistency of like a pewter figurine that's really cool that used to order on tv when they would say look complete pewter set of whatever oh i i think of old d and d minis the ones that that uh they actually produced and you know that You could get a box that had a few D&D minis, and they were all pewter, and they all bent really easily.

I want to put his sword up up here. Oh, when his alarm came off. That was good. Very pliable metal. Yes. And this doesn't feel very pliable, so I don't know what this is. Okay. It's probably the one thing that I could, like, I could make casts.

Like, I could cast something in, or print something 3D, and then make a mold from that that then I could. forge in pewter i think pewter is probably the only one i could the only metal i could very easily work with with um casting things that is a cool idea i assume that's a thing where you you 3d print has your basis for your molds that makes sense yeah yeah you don't 3d print the molds because they'll you know they'll melt in the heat but um but you i think can do like a silicon like you basically 3d print the thing you want then make a silicon mold and then No, pewter probably would melt the silicon. Oh, yeah, that's true.

But you'd do whatever, what did they do for... Bill talked about pewter molds once. I don't remember what he is. He did, and I think it was like a, not concrete, but like a, like a cast, like a ceramic. I think that would be it, like a ceramic. Yeah, something that hardens up and is impervious to metal. Yeah, exactly. Molded metal.

Casting sand, says TRPW. Oh, casting sand, yeah. That's what I do when I go to the, beach and throw it in people's faces a cast sand. Yeah, sandcasting. Sure. It's like I was going to do a Dune podcast and I was going to call it the sandcast. Yeah, it's also a Final Fantasy 14's newest ranged DPS class is a sandcaster.

Every episode of Sandcast I open with, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, man. That's for the real nerds right there. That is. When I was a kid, okay, something funny about sand people. Yeah. When I was a kid, when he does the oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, and holds a stick above his head.

I knew. The dental appliance, that giant dental appliance was. I knew at seven or eight years old, as much as I know now as a full grown adult, I knew what I was seeing was forward film and then backwards film. So that scene is one of those film tricks where to get a little more length out of it, George Lucas has them. reverse it. And I knew then what I was seeing. Yeah. And it's weird because I can't see that scene without immediately just going reverse film. Like I just, it takes me out of it. And I knew it eight years old that that was a thing and that I was distracted by it. And I don't know why. I'm

sure nobody else feels this way, but I had a weird thing with that. Weird relationship with the sand person in his reverse film. It bugs me. He's a time manipulator. Yeah. The same people are time manipulators. Bastards. They're not just dirty and sandy. That's right. All right. Let's get to the news of the day. We have a bit of news to discuss, and we're going to do it right now with this. Oh, that's cool.

Hey, it's the news, and it's brought to you by. It's brought to you by Coverville today at 12 p.m. Mountain Time, Twitch.tv. I'll be playing some Marvel Snap, but I'll be thinking. I'll be dreaming of a no man's skis. I just don't want to take the time to hook all that up. Plus, you know, I'm still having fun with Marvel Snap. No reason to change that. But, hey, let's talk about the actual show, the actual Coverville episode.

Scott, do you know what Kiss from a Rose by Seal, owner of a lonely heart by yes, Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles, all have in common? Oh, well, other than I like everything you've said. Oh, man, what would they have in common? Oh, you can throw in Oh, I'll bet significant MTV things. Oh, right. That would be smart, right?

Because video killed the radio star was the very first music video. Relax. I think at the time was maybe the longest video, or no, it was something like that. Probably was a band or they could only play it after hours or something. No, actually, these are all songs that were produced by a guy named Trevor Horn. Trevor Horn, he's one half of the Buggles. and then he was a member of yes during that album, that 901-25 album, but also produced The Art of Noise.

Frankie goes to Hollywood. Seal, that first song by Seal, Crazy, well, one of the first songs by Seal that we heard. Crazy, produced by Trevor Horn. And he is turning 75 this week. And so let's celebrate by listening to covers of all of those hits. The dude is amazing. I read his autobiography last year. and God, it's so

It's fascinating Like the life he's had And the involvement across So many different genres Not just New Wave and rock and roll But he worked with Leanne Rhymes Did some country stuff Worked with those two Russian

Are they lesbians? Tattoo You know, all the things she said And that song And they're not going to get us Or Sure Not gonna get us

They're not going to get us Oh yeah Yeah Anyway Trevor Horn, celebrating Trevorhorn, on today's Coverville at 12 p.m. Mountain Time, Twitch.tv.TV slash Coverville. I found that guy in the, check him out in 1984. This is the most music producer-ass-looking photo. I love this. Is he rocking his little circular glasses? Oh, I'm in the wrong group. Hold on.

Oh, yeah. I just sent that to Tolbert. Oh, you sent it to Tolbert and Keekchalk, yeah. Oops. Oh, yeah, look at that. Yep. And I think that's a Frankie goes to Hollywood shirt, right? It is, yeah. Yeah. It was one of those, for a while. Well, they had all those shirts that said Frankie says, Frankie say yeah, or Frankie say relax. I don't know what that says. Frankie will give you the action.

I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind one of those T-shirts. I imagine you could probably find a new one that just says Frankie say relax. Probably, yeah. Yeah. Well, I used to love them. And I had no idea that this guy had such a prolific career. That's amazing.

He really did. And I think the band got their name, the Buggles, because of the glasses that Trevor Horn wears those circular glasses that are kind of his trademark these round glasses and they were they gave him bug eyes and so they kind of called themselves the buggles. Oh, that's where that came from? I didn't know that. Oh, yeah. Look at those chat. Look at those round glasses. Oh, my gosh.

And by the way, that song, Video Killed a Radio Star, that first song from MTV. Sort of a cover. It was co-written by Bruce Woolley and Trevor Horn. The two of them wrote it. Bruce Woolley had his own band, Bruce Willie in the camera club and then Trevor Horn formed the Buggles and

Bruce Willie got Bruce Woolley got his version out first making the Buggles version the cover even though it was co-written by those two. Ah, weird. That's an interesting thing. I guess happens to music all the time, right?

Happens in music all the time, yeah. Yeah, well that's great. Superstition by Stevie Wonder was intended to be written for, like, Stevie Wonder wrote it but was intended to give it to Jeff Beck. who plays guitar, or did his own version of it. But, and, you know, Stevie Wonder said, hey, got a great song for you, superstition, gave it to him.

And then Stevie recorded his own version, but was holding on to it. And Jeff Beck was about to release his version, and Stevie Wonder's label beat them to market and got Stevie Wonder's version out first. Wow. So, so even though it was intended to be, Jeff Beck was supposed to release it first, they beat it.

That was a big hit for him, too. for uh yeah yeah it was huge for stevie wonder yeah and jeff beck's version is still great it's totally it's awesome but uh yeah jeff beck makes no crap yeah he means no crap let's get to this story here uh we got a fight that broke out between two women and a gynaecology waiting room oh no yeah real real trouble here i got this from a police no you're next no you're next i think this is athens georgia yeah it's athens georgia yeah it's athens georgia So, Amy, careful out there. The home of R.E.M.

Yeah, yeah. Michael Stipe out there, you know, putting himself in the corner or whatever. And poor Michael Stipe in the gynecology room. That's him in the corner. Yeah, that's him doing his superstition. That's me in the corner. That's me with the girl. Fight.

Garnacology or something. Well, anyway, on July 2nd, Deputy Devin Blair in three. other deputies thinking of another song responded about 3.30 p.m. to a fight between two women in the advanced gynecology office of the O'Connie connector.

I don't know what that is. 33-year-old Royston woman. Reportedly, she was in the waiting room with her three children. What a 50-year-old or 51-year-old commerce woman. That's a place, not a thing she's into.

She's into money, but she lives in commerce yeah she was sitting nearby uh tapping her fingers loudly on a chair this upset one of the children oh boy i'll go rich on the royston woman i say right after my whole uh diet tribe about uh eating food but i was yeah now if this person eating food if this 15-year-old lady was eating um had a mouth full of you know mac of cheese there's a whole different animal that would have been starting something yep the royston woman became annoyed and commented that someone is going to cuss you out, she said to the other lady. The commerce woman responded by challenging the woman to step outside.

You want to go outside, she says. As they entered the exit door, the commerce woman turned and punched the Royston woman in the face. Wow. Total cold cock. Oh my gosh. The coldest of cocks. Right at the gylocology waiting room. Yeah. Where you're never expected to see a cold cock. No, you're...

Oh my gosh, why do that remind me of what's the movie where Q's in it and he's the doctor and he's a perv, a hand that rocks the cradle. Whenever someone brings up a dirty doctor, I think of that. Yeah. Oh, yeah, sure. Really stuck with me. And I think it's stuck with me for two reasons. One, it was really effective. He was very good in it. But two, it's Q. And I'm watching Star Trek. around the same time and I'm like this is effed up man that he's doing this so really stayed with me you never left anyway the woman then grabbed her assailant by the throat and shirt you got to get both got to get that throat and shirt and throat and shirt yeah causing the royston

woman to push her back into the waiting room facility employees separated the women the commerce woman I love that they don't have names so that's just commerce woman and roiston woman versus commerce woman tonight yeah roiston versus commerce Who's going to win? The undercard. She, let's see, she accused the other woman of initiating the fight, but deputies determined she was the aggressor, and this was after interviewing employees and others in the waiting room.

She was taken to jail on a battery charge. Then she ran out and they had to charge her again. That's fine. And has been barred from the business, so she can no longer enter the gynecology office and have her Vajai inspected there. All right? They were about to smear each other

all over the concrete. That's right. So, interesting that the commerce woman, the deputies determined that the commerce woman was the aggressor, because I guess she's the one who said, let's step outside, but it was the Royston woman that said, someone

is going to cuss you out. And I'm sure at no point that someone say, oh, hey, that's bothering my son. Do you mind not tapping your fingers really loudly on the, on the chair? Can we not treat each other a little better out there, folks, you know? Yeah. I think they gave it to the commerce woman because she's the one that took the first swing.

That probably is what did it. I guess so, right, because she's the sucker puncher. Yeah, she kind of sucker punched. And I don't, I guess I don't blame them, them for arresting her, I guess. Sacramento, let's now switch over to the other side of the country. Sacramento warns Target, the store target, to stop. It doesn't take checks anymore. Nope, they don't.

They sure don't. Leave your checkbook at home. I guess I never, I'm trying to. people. I'm trying to think if I ever wrote a check there. I don't think I did, but I remember hearing that and going, oh, well, that's lame you should take. I realize, well, this is never going to affect me. Why do I care? Yeah, no, I can't think of the last, I'm sure I wrote checks to Target. I can't think of the last check I wrote. I can't think of the last check I wrote, let alone last check I wrote to Target. I guess I take that back, because I've, I paid John Funk underscore Funk for some website work. And because he's in Canada, I couldn't do like a PayPal or Venmo or Zell or anything and I actually had to pay by check and I actually had to mail the check to Canada and so I think that might have been the last check that I wrote was was to underscore that many years ago long time many years that three years ago oh is that all that's interesting that's all yeah two or three years ago and that's it no you can get PayPal like you can use all

those things in Canada he just doesn't or couldn't or whatever it didn't want to or something something yeah he's just got his own deal going on yep which is totally fine listen I you know I respect. I like being paid half in cash, half in ass for my website work. So we all have our ways that we need to get paid. That's right. Especially in Canada. They got to go lots of ways. That's right. I'd have to put it into money that has holes in it and put it in a cardboard box and mail it to him. I talked to John yesterday. He was very nice. Sent me a little birthday wish and asked him how he's doing. He seems like things are going good up there. So good on him. I lo, he and Jay Funktastic annoy me because they're both have funk in their name.

Yeah, right. And I screw them up all the time. Jay, John, I mean, come on. We need to brundlefly them into one creature called underscore Funktastic. Ooh, I like it. I like it. Yeah. But I'll do this thing where I'm like, oh, what's his name in Facebook?

And I'll go search. I'm like, is it funk-tastic? Are you searching for funk? Yeah. And I'm like, oh, that's Jay. That isn't, John. stuffed up. You two need to get together and work this out.

For all of us, you need to do it. Let's see here. Oh, here's the reason that they... Target. Oh, yeah, Target. Yeah, yeah. Sacramento Target, by the way. So there was a real run for me from the late 80s through the mid-2000s,

where I would do early morning, overnight, or midnight launches for video game stuff. I was into it. So I would go, you know, software, et cetera, at 6 a.m. or whatever. Yeah. Babbage's. You'd wait at Babbage's. I 100% would. I 100% would. Software, et cetera, babbages, all those things

before they got bought out and became Game Stops. Circuit City. Yeah. So in this, but in the case of Target, Target was the officially last place I ever did it. It was for the we in 2006. Cold November night. Yeah. Wind, snow,

and we slept out there. Oh my God. And that's when I went, I don't want to do this anymore. I'm It was dumb of this. Yeah, right. It was dumb. I'm not doing anything. It's just like me and seeing The Watchman at the midnight, the midnight showing, first showing of the Watchman.

It's like, what am I doing? I can't stay awake during this damn thing. And certainly not helping this Leonard Cohen song in this really awkward sex scene. Yeah, I don't know what it is, but there's something flipped. And I would have been, what, 36 or something at the time. And I would just, I just went, this is for a different generation. Why am I here? I'm not doing this again.

If it hadn't snowed, maybe I would have done it. Also, you know what else changed? The internet became a place where I could just now, I could even in 06, but even more so now. It's just like, I'll get it when it comes to the door. Exactly. And I think the same thing. I don't think theaters even do midnight showing premieres anymore. They just show it.

They just start the movie on Thursday for the Friday. Like, oh, the movie comes out on Friday. But really, you could watch it on Thursday. Yeah. At 6 o'clock. Yeah, and I think it actually used to hurt my impression of movies. So, you know, like, was it, 96 when, um, 94, 96, I think. Anyway, whenever, uh, Independence Day came out, I saw it on a midnight showing, midnight premiere.

And I think part of the reason I didn't like the movie, because I still don't like that movie that much. Yeah, yeah. It's because it was so damn late and I was so freaking tired. It just rubbed you the wrong way, like having to stay up that late and try and stay awake through a movie. movie at one in the morning. Yeah, because the movie, if the movie's really good, maybe it can pull me out of that. But because it didn't reach whatever level it needed to, I just, I just had a bad time. It wasn't great. Totally with you. Let's get to this point of this story, though. Sure. Oh, yeah, we still haven't even gotten past the first paragraph, have we?

Sacramento, uh, Sacramento, warrants a target to stop calling police or face public nuisance charges. So they've been calling police for real reasons, but the public, but the Sacramento police are like, you know what, quit doing that. We're going to slap you with some We'll get to the meat of this here. The Sacramento City Attorney's Office allegedly warned Target store, or this particular store, that its phone calls to police for rampant theft could result in a public nuisance charge. Not on the people thieving, but Target themselves. This is according to a report from the Sacramento Bee.

Yeah, been there. Yeah, I was going to say, I've heard you talk about the Bee before. Yep, been to the Bee, and that was a trip where we flew into Sacramento. visited the bee and then drove across the border where they asked us if we had any fruits or vegetables to declare. And then went across the border to Reno to the Reno Gazette. And do we go through Lodi? I want to say we went through Lodi because all I could think about was the Credence song. Oh, yeah.

Stuck in Lodi again. I didn't realize that was the Lodi. Yeah. I mean, I don't know where I thought. I think that's along the way from. From Sacramento. It makes sense. It's a place.

It's a thing they were saying about, but I just never, in my head, I never put where it would be. Here's what's funny about, you talking about fruit inspection when you come back over the border. I'll never forget this. The year is like 84. We're coming back from a family trip to Disneyland and we're in cars, right, or a car. My dad's driving, everybody's in there. On the way back through, you have to, on the way through and on the way back, every trip we've ever. taken to California, including recently, you have to declare any fruit you have. And most of the time

they confiscated. They don't want you to move the fruit around. Yeah, exactly. I still don't understand why. Is it a disease thing or bugs? Yeah, I think it's like fruit flies or something like that. They don't want to introduce, I think. I don't know. I don't know either. Tom Norm confirms it. Yeah, so it is bugs. Okay, so it's bugs. Well, anyway, I'll never forget this. This is maybe a time where I realize my mom, given the right circumstances, would lie to authorities. Oh, really? Yeah, because in the car, she had a small bag of oranges. She got from some famous orange grove in California,

someplace that was supposed to be amazing. I don't remember any of the details, but it was these oranges that were supposed to be the best oranges. And she had a little bag of them, and she hid them under her seat in the car, and she says to all of us as we're pulling up there in the motorhome or whatever, she goes, don't say kids, don't say anything about the fruit. don't say anything about these oranges

or like this was the like this is the extent this is your mom like her dusk till dawn moment basically yeah kind of it was like really it felt really clandestine

because we're used to her just sort of she wasn't never I don't know I couldn't remember anything prior to this where my mom was fibbing I'm sure she's fibbed plenty of times but when you're a kid you just don't know so she's like we get up we pull up to the things you got new fruit to declare or whatever they say

and she goes no No, officer. We're good. We were just heading home back to Salt Lake City. Had a great time. And I'm thinking, oh, my gosh, it's like having drugs. We got drugs in the car. Yeah, right. And you're all, and then, you know, your age, you're probably like, oh, my God, this could be the worst thing ever if I accidentally let it slip that we have fruit. Yeah, I felt like I felt like I was under this microscope. And also I felt like that, I feel like that person, you know how I'm bad at prank. Why is your son sweating profusely, ma'am? Yeah. Can we talk to him separately in a room somewhere? Because something's up. like I that's why I'm not good at keeping jokes like if I'm supposed to play a joke on somebody I immediately say just kidding after because I can't stand trying to I can't stand the pressure of it so I probably sat there going and I was probably seconds away from just going there's oranges under our seat there's oranges under the seat we neither took plubs nor left plubs throw us in jail we deserve it anyway I always remember that Thanks for the memory. Let's see.

So anyway, they got to quit doing this. I guess they call all the time because they have a lot of theft there at this location. I guess so. Wow. They don't want them to do anymore. And they just keep calling the police. You'd think, I mean, that just seems like what you're supposed to do, right? You have your, what is the asset recovery team, the asset. I think they call it, like at big box stores like that.

I know Walmart had that when Tristan worked there. Costco definitely does. Yeah. Yeah. And there's only so much that your local. asset recovery company can do. Right.

Right. They only have so much reach. Like at some point, you're dealing with criminal mischief or whatever. Yeah, right. And a guy coming in and grabbing a box of donuts, whatever it is,

and walking out with them. I mean, it's theft. So if the local, I'm kind of with Target on this. I don't really side with, you know, big box stores or whatever. But it's crime. It's crime.

You're the local crime enforcement, so come and force some of the... Right. This is your job. Yeah. So, oh, yeah, asset protection or loss prevention. Yep, that's it. Asset protection is the term I'd heard. AP. Get the AP guy up here.

We've got a shoplifter. Yeah. Get him out here, please. Yeah. He's stuck another Montgomery Ward sticker on a keyboard on a giant Casio keyboard. He's walking out of the store again. Dirty bastard. We've seen him here before.

All right. Finally, this is interesting. Credit score decline can be an early warning for dementia, according to a new study. Ooh. This could be an interesting Bobby thing if he hears this and decides to expand, but weird, right? Yeah. So credit scores are used to gauge a person's ability to fulfill their financial commitments, obviously. There can be an early warning sign, according to this new study of cognitive decline. This is research done by the New York Federal Reserve and Georgetown University, a little joint project with them.

A person's credit score on average starts to weaken in the five years ahead of dementia diagnosis, they find. While mortgage delinquency start increasing three years prior, researchers found an analyst of nationally representative samples of credit reports and Medicare data on more than 2.4 million people spanning from 2000 to 2017. That's a big sample size. That is a big sample size. You don't usually get that. While not everyone in the early stage of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders will fall behind on bills, for the those that do, the scale of change in delinquency is substantial. One year before diagnosis, average credit card balances in delinquency increase more than 50% and the average mortgage balance

in delinquency are 11% higher, according to the research. That's 600,000 delinquencies on some debt will occur over the next 10 years as a consequence of yet to be diagnosed ADRD, they estimate, or estimate. So I'm going to keep an eye on this because here's the deal. Kim and I have perfect credit. Yeah. Like it's as high as it can go, I don't know how you go higher. We've never defaulted on anything. We've never missed a payment on anything. Just like, amazing. Yeah. That's perfect. Perfect credit. And even though early in our marriage, we got a little bit of debt, but we always were like on it. We were on top of it. Yeah. Yeah. So if you start to see my credit score go down, everybody.

Well, I don't think we can see your credit score go down. That's true. Or up or anything. That's true. It's a very private thing, isn't it? Nobody sees it. Yeah, but that's interesting. Like, you know, credit score is. is, you know, that's the headline, but really it's like missed payments on public service or, you know, it's anything like that, they focus in on the headline as kind of a sensationalized credit score decline. But it's really, you know, this person hasn't paid their mortgage in seven months. And they're, you know, they're elderly. Maybe we need to check them for dementia or Alzheimer's. Yeah. But credit, I guess credit's

is a much more, like, Experian all of a sudden can say, I think we might have some Alzheimer's going on with these 11,000 people. Oh, man. Let's check on dual welfare. It's even worse. Welfare check. Now we've got to rely. Now we have to deal with insurance companies, everybody else, are going to have a new metric

to under cover us with. Exactly. Listen, just have them, just show up, have them draw a clock. Yeah. You're good to go. And then say, okay, you're good to go. Yeah. Is that a thing?

You draw clock? Yeah. So, like, if I were to say, all right, draw, you know, draw 1015. Okay. I'm going to do that real quick. Do that real quick and then hold it up to the camera. All right. So here we go.

I'll do a circle. Oops. That's a good start. Absolutely. Let's start over my page ripped. Yeah, don't draw a digital clock. 1015 with a colon. That's funny, dude.

All right. So that's there and then 15 there. So it'd be this. Oops, why did my thing go away? Sorry, everybody. Yeah, that's very good. Excellent. You've drawn 10.15 or you've drawn...

My minute... I was going to say, my minute timer's longer. I didn't mean for that to be longer, but... Oh, all right, everybody check him. Early signs. Early signs. Yeah. That's the thing.

So, like, you know, next time you're out at dinner with John, maybe you say... You know what? I'm thinking about getting the clock. Can you draw a clock and I'll just kind of... I've already tested it for his hearing the other night. I was like, hey, John, do you still have that second house that you rent? And he goes, what?

What? And I said, and I'm right next to him. The second house you rent? What? What? He's starting out to hear. I mean, he's 94. It's what you get.

Oh, interesting. Claire says the numbers are key. I guess I didn't realize that. It's probably true, right? You need to have the 12 numbers in there to make it. Oh, you're supposed to draw the whole detailed clock? I could do that. This is more like one of those swatches with like no discernible numbers on it.

Right. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. It's like, it's one of my favorite Apple Watch faces is just the two hands. Just the blank thing, you know? That's right. The other thing I was going to say was, by the way, having a great credit score means nothing when you're a small business owner. They still, they don't care. Like, I'll try to get.

Separate the business from the individual. Exactly. Even if you're a, what is it, a disregarded entity? I hate that term. But we both are, right? Like our businesses, we're a disregarded entity, which means we're a one-person business and our E-I-N is our SSN, basically. Yeah.

And the worst part about it is if you have you trying to get a new house loan or something or refi on your own house, the scrutiny is so much heavier. It's so bad. Oh, I'm sure, yeah. The financial system in this maybe world, but certainly, this country is the only one I can speak to is very very much likes oh he works at a place that pays him every two weeks that is a FICA backs this and you know they'd love that if you're a sole proprietor they want to pee on your grave exactly pisses me off uh where would this world be

without those I mean Steve Jobs and and Wozniak what were they doing they were they were sole proprietors in a somebody's garage now they got the biggest market cap in the world Yep, you know. Although that moved around a little. We had, for a hot minute there, Microsoft beat everybody about a, I don't know, a month ago. And then, NVIDIA was beating everybody for a few days. Really? Invidia was. NVIDIA is doing all the, their whole thing now is AI chips, and they're making big huge money on the AI space.

And then they slept back down. Apple's back in Happy Town. At that point, we're talking trillions and who gives us shit. Right, exactly. it's all money that is intangible and can't be held in your hand kind of stuff. Yeah, I refuse to get up in arms about it because there's zero I can do about a thing like that. Like what am I going to do? All right, that'll do it for today's news and today's show.

I told you to be short and it was. All right. It was an hour long. But we enjoyed our hour together and I'd like to remind people there's more going on this weekend.

Tyler Rowland wrote in and said July 25th would have been my mother's 61st birthday, but sadly she passed away in February of 2023 from stomach cancer. My wife and I performed a cover of Jimmy World's Here You Me at her funeral services together. If you can't find a suitable cover of that, I couldn't, I'm sorry. The song she picked for her service was Spirit in the Sky. My mom was a big lover of music and always encouraged and supported me in my playing guitar and music and I missing her

comments and love on my videos. She's dearly missed by everyone. Signed Tyler. So sorry for your loss, Tyler. Yeah, that's hard. Man, stomach cancer is what my grandma had and that was really rough. Oh, that is rough. So Spirit in the Sky, great. I think so many people, I know, I think I know a person also, and close to me, that once that played at their service as well. Norman Greenbaum did the original version.
