The Mornings, M-M-S-S-S-S-S-D. The Mornings,
stream he's taking a dump in a can hello everybody welcome to tms it is the morning stream that's what
those three letters stand for and i'm scott johnson and that's brian ibbett hi brian gibbet yellow
hello welcome to september 5th 2024 it's uh you know we're five days in uh it's our last proper
broadcast of the week.
That's right.
Although we got some stuff brewing that we won't talk about yet, but we got ideas.
We got some things.
I hear percolating sounds coming from beyond.
Yep.
Hear that, the warming of my hands?
That's what that means.
Is that the brewing?
Yep, you're brewing right there in your hands?
Yep.
Hand brew.
Yep, hand brew.
Look out for the hand brew.
It's coming.
Anyway, we got some stuff to talk about soon, but we won't be.
We'll be pulling Matt Johnson for a few days and then we'll let you know what we're
thinking about.
Yeah.
In the meantime, welcome to the show.
We've got a lot to talk about.
I am annoyed because this shouldn't have happened.
So I get a call yesterday from Costco visa something saying your Costco visa card, we believe,
has been used fraudulently somewhere.
Please call us right away and we'll make sure it's all good.
And it is.
We're not having to pay anything.
You know, you do what you do when a card gets taken.
However, this card is used for nothing.
I don't have it on any online accounts.
I've only ever used the card once, and it was at a Costco, and it was years ago.
Like, in person is the only time you've used. Oh, really? So even so, oh, I use it to show ID because it's, it's your way in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't use it very often because typically when I'm at Costco, we're there as a couple, and Kim will use her card because she just has her card handy, because she's always got her shit out, and I don't bring my wallet half the time, that sort of thing. So I don't use it very often, and I don't use it for other purchases.
I also, for a long time, we had a business FedEx Costco thing, but they stopped working with them
and then switched it over to Visa.
So really, I just had it because we have a membership, so I have it, and it's not a big deal.
It never leaves my wallet.
I don't use it to pay for anything.
I've never taken it out and swiped it anywhere, and I don't have it on any online accounts.
And yet somehow, some way, some dude in Florida is charging my card for fraudulent charges, right?
That's really weird.
Yeah.
I wonder how, how, how could he even gotten it?
I don't know.
I used to this moment, I don't, in the end of the day, they're like, we don't know because
this car, we only show you, you've used it the one time and all that.
I just says Costco was hacked.
Is that, are you, is that your, is that a guess, wicked kitten or is that like a, um,
yeah, was there a data hack at Costco?
You heard the news or something.
Cost.
I read the news today, oh boy.
Costco data.
She's making that up.
All right.
Well, it makes sense that that could be it.
Maybe there was a breach.
seems like that's the only way. If you don't use that thing online, that takes out a huge part of it, right? Because yeah, that's, that's a thing. Oh, there is one. Costco discloses data breach after finding credit card skimmer. Oh. But a skimmer would mean that you'd have to use it there to get your credit card skimmed. And you've only used it once at Costco. At a Costco. Maybe that was enough. I mean, maybe if they're, you know. I mean, if anyone's going to get skimmed, it's the person who does a podcast called skimmed.
yep I was targeted because of the damn damn exactly it's like all right who can I let's see let me look
up card skimming oh skim okay and this was back in 2021 so it's possible I am still a remnant from that
breach wow that is how that can work over time so anyway it's canceled everything's fine new card
coming it didn't really impact anything again I don't use it for anything and Kim's got her cards
if we have to go to Costco hers is fine easy to prove these days that yeah no it was not me
you'll see the whatever got ordered is not coming to this address it's uh exactly and uh the rath
asked it had an NFC chip maybe that was the way it got taken no it doesn't it's not one of those
so yeah i was just annoyed because i'm like come on man it's what i'm i try to be really locked down
on all my stuff yeah two factor and and beyond if possible on every account i have uh there's
nothing I do that has simple passwords. Everything's encrypted, and that includes the use of my
payment stuff. It's all encrypted. So how this one got out, I don't freaking know, dude. I don't get
I'm amazed because I'm the same way. Anytime I can do two-factor authentication, I do, I use,
Apple's got a really good password generator thing in there now. They've kind of done the,
the stuff I was using one password for, one password, last pass, one password. One password.
for oh no
I wasn't using the last pass
I was using the one that didn't get hacked
until like six months ago
yeah one password is the one that didn't get hacked I think
that's one that's what I'm using
but
the new Apple
so I'm using the beta of the new iOS
and they've got a thing
now that in the security
password section of the
home app or whatever
it will tell you
oh yeah this this email address
appeared in a
this password appeared in a data leak and you can actually view the the password that they have
since like oh yeah no that's one that I used before I switched to more secure methods let them have
that one that's fine yeah but it is like you look at that list and it's like 983 things it's like
holy cow and it's all pre 2014 2013 kind of stuff before I started using something a lot more secure
And none of those passwords are still in operation.
That's right.
They have a, what's that called?
Watchtower, it's called.
Is it a watchtower?
It's great.
I love it.
Just brought it up.
Let's see if I have anything compromised.
At the moment, it says I have a score of 1029, which is fantastic, it says.
Overall password strength is in the high levels.
Let's see.
I have three expiring items, 14 pass key possibility.
So if I wanted to use pass.
key i could use more of those it's cool yeah it tells you like oh these sites that you that you've
used in the past now have pass keys it's like oh yeah give me the give me the bio you know
whatever it is like uh the the fingertip on the keyboard the face in the camera the whatever
only one compromise website spoutable which i don't even use anymore oh i signed you up for that
was that you okay great yeah i signed you up for spoutable wonderful yeah i think that was like
trying to be a Twitter competitor or something.
I don't know what Spoutable was, I forgot.
Yeah, I think it was, actually.
It was like a, wasn't the thing that would combine all of your, at the time,
all the four social networks that existed at the time Spoutable was created and
give you one feed that had all of those in there?
Yeah, and then everybody started stopping their APIs, or at least Twitter did, so maybe
that's why that went away.
I don't remember why I quit using it, but I don't know.
I really like one password a lot, so I've stuck with it.
The way Apple's integrated is pretty good, but it's problematic that, for people that use other platforms, like if you're on Linux or other stuff, you're kind of screwed.
Yeah, I've got a Windows machine here next to me that sometimes I use the same accounts over there for things.
And so it's like, well, nope, I'm going to be using that on Windows.
I'm not using Apple's 45-digit weird-ass password thing because there's no way for it to auto-fill on that device.
Or there probably is if I installed Safari and logged in and all that.
Yeah, you're not going to go through that, though.
Lame.
I'm not going to go through that.
I don't want to do that.
No.
So anyway, careful out there, everybody.
Your cards might be available.
I don't know.
That's right.
Hey, Brian, you've prepared a quick quiz for me, and I'm very curious.
I prepared a quick quiz, my friend.
I am seeing Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice tonight, and it got me thinking about like, oh, yeah, you know, how long has it been?
It's been 36 years for Michael Keaton between when the original Beetlejuice came out and when the
this new one came out.
And I'm thinking, is that the longest?
It's got to be one of the longest gaps between the same actor playing the same character
in two movies.
And I'm not talking about, you know, an actor like, what's a good example, where they've
never really stopped, like Michael or Tom Cruise playing Ethan Hunt for the Mission Impossible.
He's just been playing that for a long time, but there are not big gaps in there,
like there was for Keaton as Beetlejuice.
Sure, sure.
And I want to see how many of the top 10 you can get.
And maybe I give you the two years of the two movies.
And you see if you can get the actor and the character or the movies.
I sure can try.
Yeah.
I don't think I'm going to do very well, but I'll give, I mean, that sounds reasonable as a contest.
Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah. And what we can do, the way this is laid out, it's not really easy for me to scroll through and find.
So if you guess one that is not the one I'm telling you, but it is in the top 10, then I will, I'll zip back and honor that.
Okay.
All right.
Let's talk about number 10 here.
1961 was the first appearance.
Two movies, 1961, and 1986 was the sequel featuring the same actor, playing the same character.
Oh, my gosh.
27 years difference for this guy.
Okay.
Give me that year.
61.
Yep.
61 was the first movie.
okay and 86 was the sequel oh um oh i think i know this uh the the the the paul newman deal uh color of money is
the new one uh huh yeah first one is the hustler very good that's a ding yeah yeah polemman playing fast eddie
felson uh well done sir geez i couldn't think of anything else that would have been
that would have happened that way except that one movie so for whatever reason that just stuck out in my head
all right i feel good i'm i was terrified of this contest now i already i feel pretty good no you should
you should feel very proud of this one um all right let's see here this one um i don't have the year
30 years apart the first movie came out in the 60s the sequel came out in the 90s let me see if i
can get
um
the actual years for these
60s and 90s
1968 for the first movie
and 19
um
let's see
1968 to 998
almost almost exactly 30 years
98
oh uh
ocean's 11 maybe
no
no
damn it
yeah no none of
The original Oceans 11 was the rat pack.
So none of those people.
Oh,
yeah,
the same people didn't come back in.
Duh.
Right,
right,
right.
No,
this was actually two people,
Jack Lemon and Walter Mathau.
The original odd couple was 1968,
and the sequel was 1998 featuring Jack and Walter.
Wait,
was that an actual odd couple?
It was,
yeah,
it was called the odd couple too.
I remember that.
They did other movies together, right?
Like they did.
Grumpy old men and all that,
yeah.
Grumpy old men.
And right, but this was, if you would have asked me, I would have said, no, there was no odd couple to a movie in the 90s, but yeah, sure enough.
Those two are in JFK as well.
People always forget they showed up in.
They weren't together in it.
They were in whole separate scenes, no connection, but they were both in that.
JFK is a banger for cameos.
It is unbelievable.
I mean, that is your ground zero for your Kevin Bacon six degrees, really.
Yeah, he's literally in it.
And then everybody, and John Candy plays this amazing lawyer from, like, New Orleans.
It's a, that movie, as much as I think it's a crackpot theory, that movie's awesome.
It's good.
Yeah, yeah.
I love it.
Anyway, all right.
All right, let's go to another one.
Let's see, 1983 was the last movie to feature this actor as that character, until 2015, when he came back to the role.
I'll tell you, it's a he, 32 years between this one.
1883 to
2015
2015
yeah
and you know
I'll say
multiple
people on this one
oh there's more than one person in it
there's more than one person yeah it's
oh oh
uh
uh
it's got to be Harrison Ford
and um
Force Awakens
so which
83 would have been
would have been
Return of the Jedi.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, absolutely.
This one is showing
Luke Skywalker,
but it really was.
It was Mark Hamill,
Kerry Fisher,
and Harrison Ford,
who all returned from
Return to the Jedi
to West Awakens.
Because in Mark Hamill's case,
it's not till the very end,
though, right?
I always think it's the next movie.
Yeah.
That's right.
I mess that up in my head
every time.
Right.
Let's see here.
Let's go to,
do do do do do do do all right 33 years for this one
1989 to 20 I'm sorry
1992 to 2023 much more recent on this one
oh my gosh
92 to 2023 so 33 years
92 2020
wasn't possible I think they were they looked at the wrong
they looked at the um this person played this role in
the three movies and they were looking
clearly at the
when they when they said it was 33 years
they were doing the math from
1989. Oh my gosh. But it really
should be from 1992 to
2023 which would make it 31 years.
Oh oh. Oh.
We saw this and hated it.
Except we like him.
Oh shit.
You're really good at this. I think you've got you're
getting it. Yeah.
Okay.
What's wrong with me?
Michael Keaton, Batman and the Flash deal from last year.
Correct.
Yes, very good.
Jeez.
Was it just called the Flash?
It's just called the Flash.
It's just called the Flash.
Okay.
2023.
Okay.
Looks like this list came out in 2023.
So I think there are, which is why Beetlejuice and Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice aren't on here.
So, all right, 35 years for this one.
So that would be, what were the year?
on this one. Do I have
2017
was the
newer movie. Blade Runner
and Blade Runner 2049.
Very good, yes.
I knew that had to be
we're back to Harrison Ford. Yeah. We're back to
Harrison Ford. How about another one that's
36 years? I believe
1986 to 19, I'm sorry, to
2022.
289 to 2020.
86 to 2020.
sorry.
86.
86.
Shit.
This one's harder.
2022.
Oh, I'll bet it's
Bill and Ted do other stuff.
I didn't see it, so I can't think of the name.
But it's got to be the Bill and Ted movie.
It is not, but that's a really good guess.
They're not even on this list, surprisingly.
They should.
be because right it was um bill and ted saved the world or save the universe or no am i i can't remember
the new one i can't face the music that's right that's the new one is uh no 86 was our first
appearance of tom cruise oh tom god shit yeah ah i should have had that one yeah also i think the
the bill and ted thing was a year prior maybe even then the pandemic because it went straight
to video or something it did go straight to video so 2020 and and and a bill and ted go to hell or
what was it called, Bill and Ted.
Bill and Ted's, Focus Journey.
Bogus Journey.
They go to hell.
Bill and Ted go to hell.
Well, they do.
They do.
You're right.
You're right.
I love the Reaper in that.
He's so good.
He's great.
Yeah.
Or William.
William.
Not Hickey.
Hold on.
Something similar to Matherer, but not Mather.
He's in all the Barabont movies.
Sadler.
Sadler.
Sadler.
Love that actor.
Um, this is one that I, I'm going to, I'm going to be surprised if you get, because when I saw that there was a sequel, I, I did not realize that the sequel existed. So, uh, 93 was the original film, just two films. And the sequel was 22, featuring the same actor in the same role. 83 to 2022, 39 years.
83. We've already, we've already done Star Wars.
Mm-hmm. Oh, right. Yeah.
So that's not Return of the Jedi.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh, I know, I think.
Okay, okay.
Is it the Halloween kills or what's one of them Halloween deals?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Is that it?
No, it's not it, but that's a really good one.
And that one, and I told you, I would give you one if you named it,
hotter, not harder, Nick Castle.
played Michael Myers 40 years apart in the 1978 original and in the 2078 and 2018 for yeah what I think that was hotter Carl hotter no is he he was Jason Jason that sounds right to me that was Jason but I could be wrong I know Monica's in the in the chat room so she'll be able to answer that one cane hotter cane how can I forget the guys name was cane yeah yeah cane always cane you got a chest buster yeah and his guts right um
No. So this one that I was giving you, Ralphie Parker is the character. The movie is
the Christmas story. And there was a movie in 2022 called A Christmas Story Christmas.
Oh, yeah. We watched that and quite enjoyed it. I was supposed to hate it. And I really liked it. I thought it was all right. They kept the, they kept the essence of what made the original good. And all those people came back. Even the porn actor tongue on the pole kid.
Really? Yeah.
did we talk about this or that guy did turn into a porn after yeah he did by a bunch of porn after or during his like 20s and stuff but uh i thought i was fine it wasn't great but it was like you know it could have been really bad and it was actually all right i like it's it's funny because there were other sequels to a christmas story including something in 1994 called my summer story um which featured the same characters but none of the same actors um uh and then uh 2022 hb o max released uh christmas story christmas which was uh
Yeah, 33 years after the events of the original film.
The one with new actors sounds like a bad idea.
It really does.
Yeah.
You could replace Jan, but don't replace Greg Bobby, Peter, Cindy, and Marsha.
Yeah, how do you even, it's such a classic.
It's just like scary to even touch it.
So I'm surprised they've tried to do any of these things, but, yeah.
All right, number two on the list as far as longest gaps is 50 years.
for this actress.
The original movie was released in, let's see here.
Well, the sequel was 2023,
and the original was, if I could do the math,
but I'm not going to, 1973.
Whoa.
Yeah, 73 to 2023.
And it's...
I would have been three years old when I came out.
Yeah.
Or no, four.
Depending on when it came out in that year, you know, to be quite a lot.
It came out at the, wow, the day after Christmas, 1973, so you would have been four.
That would have been four pushing five.
Right.
That's a long time.
You said actress, right?
Okay.
I did indeed, yeah.
Oh, my gosh, dude.
I might even be able to tell you the character that she played and it still might.
not be enough to get to you.
Hold on.
We filmed sacked this.
I know that's not, that's earlier.
Or no, it's later.
Oh, shit.
I'll give you the character.
Chris McNeil is the character
that this woman played.
Chris McNeil.
Yeah, and all I need is the movie
on this one because you probably
will get the
the, um,
the,
you probably know
the actress but am i right that we film sacked it because that might help me we film sack the original
but we have not film sack the sequel okay i'm just going to guess it's exorcist because i know
nothing else from that era that is exactly right oh who's wait who's chris o'neal the mom
ellen burson yeah the mom um which i think which i think sorry folks i haven't seen the exorcist
sequel whatever the new one is called um uh and i'm thinking that her appearance might be a
might be a surprise spoiler in the movie but uh she is nice
91 years old and still working.
Geez.
Wow.
Hats off to Ellen Burstin, dude.
Geez.
Yeah.
All right.
I feel good about that.
Now, number one.
That was number two?
Yeah.
What's number two?
That was number two.
Okay.
Number one is 54 years between, yeah, two appearances by the same actors, the same character.
And what's funny is the title character did not reprise their role for the sequel, but this character did.
this actor did, if that makes sense.
Okay.
Uh, 1964 to, uh, 20, uh, something.
Let's see here, 2020, what would that be?
54, 2018, that can be right.
Wait, that doesn't sound right, does it?
Yeah, I think that's right.
Oh, okay.
64 to 28th.
I guess that's right.
Yeah, it just seems like this came out more recently than, then, um, yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
I don't know if I'm going to know this.
64.
It's not going to be planned of the apes.
That was 68 or 9.
Right.
64.
64.
I had a long time ago.
Holy shit.
I will tell you, let's see.
A hint is that, oh, is that too easy hint?
I'll tell you, all right, I'm going to give you.
I'll give you an easy, oh, no.
Everyone I'm thinking of is dead.
Like, I'm thinking, oh, this Marlon Brando?
No, he's dead.
I can't think of anybody.
I will tell you that the main character in the sequel was played by Emily Blunt, who we both like.
Oh, I just talked about it yesterday, didn't I?
I brought it up.
You did.
Yes, you did.
The Mary Poppins sequel, but it's, but who's the actor?
Hold on.
I got to get that at least.
you should
is it the
it's not the
it's not the
it's not the captain guy
across the street is it
it is not no
who's like going
all here
he's like a pirate
up on his roof
or whatever
it's not him
right right
nope not
oh duh
uh
uh
uh
Rob Petrie
uh
yeah
yeah
Dick they Mike
there you go
oh my gosh
I think you gave
it
you that was
too easy for me because you
I was yeah
if I would have given you
Emily Blunt if I would have said
both movies were musicals
that probably would have also been a good
an easy clue right
might have helped but it but
the Emily Blunt part really sent at home
that was the thing that yeah yeah
I forgot he was in that he danced at the end
on a desk or something he did on a desk
don't think it was AI
I don't think it was a deep fake
54 years apart to
from for Mr. Daz
played by Dick Van Dyke in those two movies
I saw a YouTube video where Dick Van Dyke was doing
just recently, just doing like a bunch of push-ups and sit-ups.
The guy's fine.
Really?
I don't know what he's doing.
I'll have some of that.
Whatever he's taking.
He's 90, almost 100, right?
I think.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's got to be.
Dick Van, let's look it up.
Dick Van Dyke.
98 says Ambassador.
Holy shit.
That guy.
And he's super with it.
He just won an Emmy for something.
Like, man.
It's amazing.
Hootie 42 says,
I just imagine
to Kim laughing
another part of the house
as she hears him shouting.
It would be kind of funny
for her to keep a notepad
during the day
and just write down
the thing that she hears you yell.
So, Dick Van Dyke!
You know, she writes down,
Dick Van Dyke.
I can tell you a funny thing about that
whenever Phoebe's here
and we're doing the show,
whatever they're doing,
they're playing or watching Bluey
or whatever is they're doing,
she's totally focused on what's happening.
She'll hear me giggle laugh
or make a noise.
Or go, ah, or whatever.
And she'll look at Kim and go, see pops, see pops, see pops?
Did he go check on?
Yeah, she wants to get down here and make sure I haven't died or whatever.
It's pretty amazing.
See pops, smell toast?
Yes, smell toast.
Pop smell toast.
Pops have the chat do anyway.
I'm just now bringing it back.
Chat nailed it.
They needed the clue on Mary Poppins as well.
It wasn't until I said Emily Blent that I think Rufus El Gato de Baseball.
got Mary Poppins.
Nicely done, guys.
Yeah.
What I get three wrong?
Alfie's a good one, right?
Because Alfie didn't, did Michael Cain appear in the Jude Law Alfie or no?
I'm just thinking of when he appeared as an Alfie-like character in Austin Powers, right?
Oh, yeah.
It's also similar to the one he played in Miss Congeniality a little bit.
That character was a lot like Alfie.
I really, I've never seen Alfie, but I always feel like I've seen it.
and I don't know why.
Maybe it's just because it's the most Michael Cain damn thing you could see.
Yeah, it really is.
Hello, on Michael Cain.
I love that.
Okay, all right.
You guys are all saying, you know, Dick Van Dyke is going to die tomorrow because we just talked about him.
What is our limit, like, from the last mention of Dick Van Dyke, what is the amount of time that we won't get blamed?
Is it seven days?
So, like, do we have seven days before something happens to?
You've never established this timeline. Let's do it.
Yeah, let's establish it because I feel like we need to. Seven days is that.
Yeah, seven Earth days.
Okay.
I like it. Next TMS. No, that's not in enough days.
Seven, so next Thursday.
If Dick Van Dyke is still alive on September 12th, then he dies on the 13th.
We can't be blamed for it.
Yeah, I think that's fair.
That's what I say.
I think that's fair.
LC-9 says two weeks, but I think that's too much because dude's almost 100.
You got to give us a break.
Yeah. Yeah. And I don't want him to go. I love that guy.
No, no, no. I don't want him to either. But, uh, or do we, or do we, maybe the two weeks thing, you know, makes it easier to do the two weeks thing because so much else in our, in our pop culture life is two weeks.
Isn't he one of those guys? Well, I'm, yeah, we could probably get away with two weeks. He seems strong enough. The dude's literally doing pushups in this video. He's doing pushups. Yeah.
So my thing is like, uh, guys like him should be celebrated a little bit more because I don't know of, has there ever been any controversy around Dick Van Dyke of any kind of.
Did he ever go, I hate the Jews or any kind of, no, I don't think he did any of that.
A Dick Van Dyke scandal, right?
Like, oh, he fondled Mary Tyler Moore off camera once.
Right.
I don't think any of that ever happened.
Everyone loved him, adored him, loved working with him.
Like, I think he might, and I think he was married to the same person, his entire life.
Probably.
I think you could probably say the same thing for Lucille Ball, right?
Yeah, except she.
His name means penis von lesbian.
That might be the worst possible thing you can say about Dick Van Dyke, and that's not very bad.
Right.
Petus von Lesbian changed his name to Dick Van Dyck early in his career to avoid stereotyping.
Oh my gosh.
I-Corps, that's the funniest thing you've ever typed in the chat.
That was really good.
We used to call, when I was a kid, this is lame now.
We thought it was hilarious then.
Yeah.
But when we were teenagers, we called Jolly Ranchers, gay farmers.
Oh, yeah.
It's so stupid, you know.
I don't think that was a...
I'd like to say that I'm immune from that kind of crap, too, but I'm not.
I just can't think of what right now.
Yeah.
But, yeah.
Anyway, that's what we did.
Don't worry.
I'll give you all plenty of stuff to cancel me for later on.
I just can't think of anything right now, right the second.
Yeah.
I think in, like, Lucile Ball's case, she did fine, although her and Desi Arnaz didn't work out, I guess.
Not that that's controversial.
No, that's fine.
He seemed kind of hard to live.
with, if I'm honest, that guy.
You did.
Bobble Lou and shit.
Come on now.
Yeah, I couldn't.
I don't think I could.
But that's great.
When you get to your 90s and you never had a scandal, it's pretty great.
Yeah, absolutely.
Real quick lift story for you, Scott.
Oh, I love lift stories.
Let's do it.
Yeah.
Hopped in the lift yesterday and did maybe about an hour and a half, two hours of driving around.
And I was basically just about done.
And so I go in the app and say,
All right, the next ride, because they've already given me
queued up another ride for me that is close to where the person
I'm dropping off is.
The pickup is close by.
So I get that one.
It's getting kind of close to 6 p.m.
I want to go home and cook dinner and all that stuff.
So I say, okay, make that one my last ride.
I go to, and then I see where it's going, and I go to
what I can only describe as, or I think what I described to Tina,
Let's see. How did I phrase it?
Oh, I just called it Gross Hotel Central.
Okay. All right.
And it is...
That's a pretty good description. I like it.
The $39 a night American motel across the street from the $39 a night,
Apple Inn next to the Fairfield Cockroach Bedbug Fest, all that stuff.
I was like, oh, man, all right, where am I picking somebody up from?
So I go to the Apple Inn
And pick up a couple of a mother and daughter
And I look and say
Oh, okay, looks like I'm taking you to the Mallory Motel
Okay
The Mallory Manor Motel
And it sounds skeevy, but all right
It is, it is just as skeevy
But I just again texted Tina
As soon as I realized where I was taking them, I said
Oh no, I guess it was afterwards
I said, yeah, this is the most lateral move ever
Oh, yeah.
Like if I, let's see, can I send you a link to this?
Oh, I can send you a link to this Google search, can't I?
I probably can, I probably can't.
Let's do that.
Let's take a look.
I googled bad motels and there's a lot of really gnarly pictures, but probably.
Yeah, like if I put in the search, if I put in the URL, or if I go into the address field,
I just get Mallory Manor Motel.
But if you, I'll just give you, you know, the name of it, copy and paste that into your,
oh, there we go.
it did give me.
That's funny, even though it shows Mallory Manor Motel.
Oh, yeah, there it is.
This will take you to the photos of the Mallory Manor Motel.
Kofax Avenue, right?
Here we go.
Oh, yeah.
Some of these photos are not accurate.
Some of them are made to help sell.
Oh, this is the kind of motel you just know is a dump.
Yeah, this is like a by the hour, you may survive the night.
Who knows? Who knows?
Wow.
Anyway, so I drop them off there, and as I'm taken there, I'm like, oh, yeah, well, you know, don't spend a lot of time outside after it gets dark.
She says, oh, I know, this is, this is Blood Central.
This is demon blood territory.
I'm like, demon blood territory.
She's like, yeah, this is, you know, you get your crips in the Bloods, and I think the worst bloods are called Demon Bloods, or maybe there's another gang called Demon Bloods.
Oh, really?
I hadn't heard of that.
Yeah.
Jeez.
All right.
Well, I won't be stopping to get gas anywhere after I drop you off.
Eich.
So I drop them off.
Yeah.
This thing is set up.
It's a little square.
You drive into the center of the motel, which wraps around the parking lot.
And then there's one entrance in and out of the place.
Yeah, it looks like a big, like a horseshoe sort of a little bit.
Pretty much a horseshoe shape.
Yep, exactly.
Or a miss shape.
You know what it is, a misshapen tron, one of those big tron.
things with the legs. You know what I'm talking about? The big enforcer bots or whatever the
instigators or the annihilators or something-a-ers. Yeah, they look like that, although a little
skewy on one foot. But anyway. Yeah, that's kind of, that's a very, uh, recognizer, a recognizeer,
that's it. There you go. Um, so I'm coming back out and there's a median, uh, in the middle of
the street. It's Colfax Avenue, which again is, you know, when you say Colfax, to somebody in
Denver, they're like, oh, West Colfax or East Colfax is a very different answer.
And there's a median, and so I can't make a left turn onto Colfax to get me home.
So I'm like, all right, well, I'll just go halfway across, get right in this turn lane,
and I can make a U-turn and then go where I want to go.
I do just that.
And as I'm in the U-turn lane, I see a guy with facial lo,
tattoos, you know, skinny guy looking crazy-eyed across the street, mean, angry.
Like, Post Malone has sketchbook facial tattoos. This guy had a newspaper on his face.
Okay.
That's the difference.
All right.
And he is, he is laser-focused, your wife beater white t-shirt, ripped up gross jeans.
He is laser-focused on a guy on my side of the street.
And I look over, and this guy is already in a defensive stance, and he is looking worried.
And this guy is, you know, crossing four lanes of traffic, B-line across to this guy.
And I'm like, ooh, do I want to stay and watch?
This looks like it could be interesting.
And because there's some traffic coming, I kind of have to stay for a minute.
And I'm kind of watching.
and the two are like circling each other
and facial tattoo guy is like
they're both in there like attack stance
like yeah yeah and
facial tattoo guy is like kicking
because this guy you know
he's keeping kind of an arm's length
yeah and
and finally traffic opens up
and I'm like all right well I guess I need to make my U-turn and go home
because again last thing I want is
you know for one of them to pull out a gun and start
you're shooting in different directions
and all of a sudden I'm collateral damage
sir so uh so yeah i get the hell out of there but i did scour the news all night last night
to see if there was any like you know man murdered outside the mallory motel yeah you might
have been witness to something real gnarly had you hung around who knows or it probably just petered
out most people are just chicken and or you know whatever i guess gangs gangs are pretty serious
but did you hear this music in your head when you watched them
Yeah, I totally did.
Yes, exactly.
Fantastic.
But it was like, yeah, eh, e, eh.
Well, good.
I'm glad you were safe, though.
Yeah.
You know.
Totally safe and fine.
Got away from there just fine.
And what was the lady, she's just staying there?
I didn't ask.
I think, I think the Mallory Motel is probably about $10 a night cheaper than the flea bag infested place.
that I picked her up from.
So I think it was just like a money.
But they didn't bring any luggage or anything.
So I don't know what the deal was.
Weird.
Yeah.
It's hard not to want to build a story around it, you know?
Oh, totally.
And there was such, like, I kind of wanted to, instead of even doing the U-turn,
just pull into the parking lot of the hair salon across the street
and just kind of sit there and watch a little bit and just see,
maybe turn on the old camera on my phone and record it.
But, yeah, let's just get home.
Yeah, get the H out of there.
Get off Kofax, get home.
Right, exactly.
Well, there you have it.
Careful out there, folks.
Oh, by the way, we got Chuck, another Chuck, not our regular Chuck, but a Chuck.
He's still a regular Chuck.
Not Amy's person, Chuck, but somebody else's person, Chuck.
A separate Chuck, and he has some thoughts about candy bars, and so we're going to let him speak.
Hey, morning, guys, this is Chuck Byers calling about the, or for the,
TMS show you guys are talking about candy bars a couple of years ago we went to Iceland and I'm a big fan of the black licorish I know a lot of people don't like it but but I do and they love it in Iceland they have this candy bar that's so you imagine two sort of Twizzler pieces of licorish completely coated with milk chocolate and it
amazingly goes together so well the bar is i don't even know how to pronounce it it's it's d r a
um you r you can only get it in iceland but it's fantastic if you like if you like black
licorish so check it out uh drama or i guess is how you say it i don't know but uh it's really
good stuff love the show take it easy later do you find a picture of it i did yeah here's
the photo uh let's see let's see if uh here we go um
Let's get you a picture with the actual contents of it.
Oh, why isn't this?
All right, I'm a screenshot.
I can't right-click and capy.
Me.
This looks like when you build a wall and there's two pieces of rebar that are holding that foundation wall up.
Oh, yeah, look at this.
All right.
So, chat, there it is.
This is something I will not.
I can't do the black licorice.
I can't do it.
Now, see, I am not a fan at all.
of the salted
licorice.
Like remember we got the black licorice little
monkeys, I think they were.
Yeah, those were bad.
And I'm a fan of black licorice.
I'll eat the, you know, I'm the guy who says,
you need me to finish off those black jelly beans
in the bottom of the bowl?
Sure, help me out.
I will totally have those.
But I could not do the salted licorice.
That stuff just made me wretch.
This, chocolate and licorice,
gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.
And I'm bummed to see.
say that I do not see it on
Amazon site or I would order
some right now. They don't sell
these, eh?
I wonder if you can get like a home
home goods I noticed really up their game on
where they get their stuff. So it used
to be you could go in there and find, you know, strange things
from around the world, but you were never really sure where it came
from. Sometimes it'd be obvious because it was in
Korean or something. But sometimes
it's like, was this German? Is this Australian?
And now they have signs
on all of the shelving
that has a flag of the country of
origin. So if you want to find something from
Iceland or Finland or something like that, they'll have the
Finnish flag, the Icelandic flag, all this sort of thing.
And then you can grab them that way. They very well
may have some shit like this. I will not be eating it.
But, you know, I'm glad it's there for people who like it.
The, um, uh, oh God, Free Rangers, we need to get
brine salted, licorice flavored thick and liquid.
Yeah, that, I can't, I don't even know if I'll be
able to open the mailbox without retching.
I never throw up and I'll throw up from that.
So I'm finding this Danish confectionery lacrids by Buellow.
Klaus von Buello, the guy who kept his wife barely alive so that he could collect all of her money, that Bulo.
Yeah, that guy.
But it's like a little sampler box of, it's freaking beautiful.
Hold on, I'm going to send you a photo.
Like, this is apparently what you get when you order the Lackrids by Bulo box set right here.
And they're little bonbons, like little chocolate-covered bonbons.
Oh, look at those, yeah, lacquids by beulow.
That's a name I'll never forget now.
Okay, here it is chat.
Look at that.
What do you think of these?
So lacquid is a good name for something like this.
That sounds gross to me.
It sounds like milk.
It sounds likerid.
Oh, lacridge.
Yeah.
Let's see, chocolate-coated gourmet licorice produced in Denmark.
This is probably exactly what you want, dude.
This I think is what I want.
Yeah, look at the sampler, though.
Like little hexagons of chocolate goodness.
Yeah.
Is that lacrid there in that photo?
No, that ain't her.
All right.
No, it's probably Bulo, actually.
Yeah, 100% gluten-free liquor's cooked with rice flour.
How do you...
I don't even know how you make licorice.
Where does that come from?
Oh, that's an interesting question.
I mean, it's anis flavor.
It's like probably...
It's Philip 66 chemical cast off.
Yeah, I'm sure it's...
You probably make...
it like you do you some sort of extruder right based on the shape yeah twisty shape i'm guessing
that it's like you put all of your materials into a an extruder and it extrudes it and then you
just cut the shapes you want and twist them together yeah yeah not anus anus flavor andes
gregory anus flavor annes don't forget it tastes like anus well hootie says rice flour equals
hello high blood sugar yeah rice flour is the worst shoot well rice anything is
really high unless you're doing
the gross stuff but it's better for you
what is it the multi-grain is better for you but
oh yeah sure so I'm going to order
I don't know if I'm going to order one of these
these sampler boxes
look like they might be
um
you know you're only getting
what is that seven pieces of four
four different things seven pieces for 30 bucks
yeah I might just see if I can get one of their
little jars of these
chocolate covered
let me see which one's got the highest number of
positive reviews
my favorite
my favorite thing
is the culty photo
at the bottom
have you seen that
the one with
the windmill
yeah well
I don't know if there's a wind
no it's the one
where they're all
they all look like
um
oh I can't see that
1960s communist party
something
oh yeah right there
yeah with all their
almost like
Neru jackets
yeah
who's escaping
on a bicycle
get him
it's Benny Hill
getting the F out of there
it is Benny Hill
Something weird about it
I guess those are all worker
Like you'd wear this in the factory
Yeah
It looks culty to me
You zoom in on that
And there's a lot of people smiling
But there's a couple people who look like
They're asking for some help
Oh some grumps
Let's see
Oh yeah
A couple of these people are like
Yeah
I don't want to be here
Get us out
They make me work here
This Benny Hill guy's not all happy
You think that guy's happy, but he's not happy.
I have to wear a hefty steel sack to work.
Please get me out of here.
We make the world love Likwarsh, one Likwish at a time.
It's not even the right way to spell Likwish.
As someone who is part of the world, I can guarantee you to not make me like it one at a time.
All right, I got to figure out of our Danish listeners and see what they'd recommend that I try.
But give me a, I am all over a chocolate, a milk chocolate.
covered, licorice treat, tasty treat.
Hey, everybody, it's time for us to take a break.
When we come back from this break, Wendy will be joining us.
We've got an email that we're going to read.
We're going to try to help somebody with a whole marriage and kid thing.
So stick around.
All right, this is good life advice, no matter what stage you're at in your life.
So be here for that after Brian plays this song.
Yeah.
This song, by the way, is brought to you by Coverville today at noon, 12 p.m.

of Jack Black and Pink to
fill a whole show. Jack Black turning 55.
Pink turning 45. We're
mashing them together. They just having their birthdays

Beaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches.
Peaches, peaches, peaches. He'd be, I think Tom Merritt would be more happy if it were truly a Black Pink episode.
Oh, 100% would be happier. But you're going to lure him in. Your clickbait has worked. He'll go in.
Exactly. Oh, Black Pink. I'll click. Oh, Brian, you got me. It's not Black Pink.
Is that your Tom Merritt impression? I love it.
That's the best Tom Merritt I could do with no preparation with no notice.
Be careful, Tom. You got a replacement coming, buddy.
That's right. Exactly. All I have to do is just do a more straight-up news announcer.

Hey, Brian.
Tell me more about that song.
Yeah, that is the song, Everything, by Stavro.
S-T-A-V-R-O.
He's got a brand-new album coming out at the end of October.
October 25th, you can buy his whole album, U-Turning World.
But that little taste right there is just for you.
It's called Everything.
That was Stavro.
Fantastic.
Stavro.
Oh, that's weird.
Why?
I added Wendy.
Ernst Stavril Bluffel.
It's really weird how Wendy, when I call Wendy,
she's the only one this happens to.
The call will start.
But then, no, I'll add her,
and it should be added to our list,
but she doesn't start ringing until some time passes.
What is that about, stupid thing?
I don't know.
I'm annoyed by this.
All right, well, we're ringing her now.
We'll see what happens.
So if we can get her in here, have received no text as to any delay.
So it usually means we're good.
So we'll find out shortly as we wait for her to arrive.
I saw, oh, she sent me a link to a video, YouTube video,
a guy who goes to the Minnesota State Fair and just chronicles all the new food for the year.
And she was talking on the show about how amazing that stuff was at whatever point.
Yeah, yeah.
And I was like, well.
Deep fried ranch dressing and stuff.
Yeah, like really weird stuff like that.
And the video she sent, I mean, the food looked insane.
I would, this would be dream job.
Not really a dream job, but I'd love to do that and get paid to do it.
It's like, go to the state fair and sample everything and do a YouTube video about it.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, and he had a lot of pits and stuff.
I'd need the paddles at the end of the day, but.
Oh, I know that voice.
How about one of the, how about we play this?
Here's another Minnesota tradition that's not so easy to throw in the garbage.
Like deep fried ranch dressing, you don't have to throw this away.
It's Wendy, almost called you Johnson.
Wendy Dunford, my sister, who took her married name from her husband.
Anyway, she's here.
Therefore, she's no longer done.
My neighbor, by the way, is, her name is, I met her recently.
Her name is Wendy Johnson.
And I was like, ah, freaky.
And she's from Australia.
And I was like, wait, what?
Is it why or I?
Which way does she lean there?
Why, the wrong way?
now because you're the typical way
not the stripper way like your name
like not that one's the Barbie stripper version
like Tiffany with an eye or what else
welcome to the center stage it's a windy
on the center stage put your hands together
Savannah with a smile face for one of the A's
yeah yeah exactly love it
well it's good to have you here
hope things are going well how was Adam's birthday by the way
happy birthday to Adam it was good it was very good
he's you know
everyone gets older
as time goes on
he's great
he had a big
well you know what
we play this for those people
happy birthday
there you go
happy birthday to him
who is that
that is a lady
from the Sopranos
who used to date
Tony Soprano
back when he was younger
oh that's right
yeah
and then tries to come back
and get with Tony again
because she wants
the money
or something
and she does like
this
like Marilyn Monroe dance for him
and it's really annoying and gross.
Anyway, that's where I got that from.
Hey, let's get into it today.
Wendy comes on the show and uses her actual therapy job
to help you guys for free right here on the show.
And boy, howdy, do we have a nice email today?
I'm going to read this one.
Yeah.
Let me pull up this and kill that.
All right, here we go.
This is from an anonymous poster, Who Says?
Hello, Scott, Wendy, and Brian.
Four years ago, might even be today
if you use this on August 22nd.
Nope.
we're a little later than that.
Yep.
Anyway, my wife and I got married after dating for eight years.
We won't even get into the fun of planning a pandemic wedding.
Ha ha, ha, after we got married, we started trying to have a family.
That ha ha ha ha was his, not mine.
After two years, just making sure people, I'm not improvving in the middle of this thing with a ha.
Ha ha.
Ha ha.
Ha ha.
Ha ha.
Who ha is even better.
All right.
He says, after two years of nothing happening, we decided we should go see a doctor,
meaning trying to have a family.
Nothing happened.
We both get tests done and it's determined that I am the one that has the issue.
Like Hank Hill and his narrow urethra.
Okay, now I am improvving.
Anyway, the doctor said I have less than a 5% chance of producing a child.
We were floored but got through that together.
Fast forward roughly eight months.
Lo and behold, my wife is pregnant.
We were both ecstatic, but sadly it was not meant to be.
and my wife experienced a miscarriage, which, again, we got through together.
We were referred to a fertility specialist and started going through the steps of that whole
process.
There's one test my wife would have to do that would be painful and straight away.
She said, no, I don't want to do it.
While I'm sad, we stopped going that route.
I never forced the issue, but deep down I'm still sad.
But what is, sorry, but it is what it is and would never change this much.
I love this, love and cherish this woman.
That's a hard sentence.
Never change how much I love.
Oh, how much.
There you go.
Yeah, he put his instead of how, but yeah.
Yeah, how much I love.
I don't know why.
Yeah, just a typo.
But anyway, the point is, now they're at this stage.
I have people in my extended family who, this is the exact template of what they went through.
And then they ended up, they ended up adopting, which is an option here, I suppose.
But Wendy, not an easy thing, right?
Especially because A, it's him.
like he knows it's him that's the quote unquote problem it's not really a problem but you know it's
the reason they can't conceive has something to do with him and even in when she did you know we had
this terrible thing happen so where do you tell a couple like this and you work with couples a lot
I don't know if it's specifically about fertility issues but how do you want to how do you want to
approach this one well I'm going to do a big group modeling project here okay so notice this person does
not ask us a single question.
Yeah.
So they may have one.
They just didn't write in here and we could make it up.
But I want us to all try something together.
This is really hard and really sensitive stuff.
And it's, you know, I don't know, depending on the family you grew up with, you probably
weren't talking about urethras and that docks says something's wrong with my semen, you know, that stuff.
That is raising Arizona.
Thank you.
Okay, anyway, but that may not be happening for you or should it maybe be a public conversation.
So it's really private, it's very sensitive.
This is really difficult.
And so I want us to walk through how we are there for someone in this circumstance, how we might show support.
And then we can make up a question they might have, like, what do I do?
Let's say that's the question, you know, some advice on how to handle that his wife,
doesn't want to do this difficult procedure of course he still loves her what do they do next we can
answer that but let's just first practice just some good old human um empathy and understanding
for someone going through a hard time in if in an area that like if you have no experience you would
you do not get this right it's not until you know what it's like to have a seven inch needle shoved
into your belly yeah for you to get or you know other things right so you you may
maybe not coming from a personal experience.
Even if you were, some people are really bad at it, even showing empathy when they have
personal experience.
So let's just practice together.
All right.
Okay.
Brian, you're first.
How this is information you kind of find out about a friend or they share a little bit of
this.
What is your, what's your go-to method of helping someone feel seen and heard and
supported?
No pressure.
Yeah, no kidding.
No, I mean, I'd say, obviously I'd empathize to say, oh, my God, that's such a tough decision because you guys are both coming at this from two different places.
But at the end of the day, you kind of have to go with the, the, I don't want to say lowest common denominator, but it is a, you know, you go with the thing that hurts the fewest number of people in the relationship, right?
So instead of saying, well, you know, she should just suck it up, take the needle and whatever.
Yeah.
You just say, yeah, in the end, you have to do what both of you can live with.
And if she can't do it, if she, if that needle situation is just too much, then you have to honor that and respect that.
That's great advice if they were asking for advice.
So I know it's a trick question because that's true because they never did like you said they didn't they didn't ask us anything they just just shared it so I'm going to let you have a do-over because your advice was good and I think you're totally right and that's probably what we'll end up saying anyway right but
so here's what I'd say oh my yeah that is such a tough problem I'm so sorry to hear that can I buy you a beer that's good that's perfect
That's what I got. That's all I got right there.
That's exactly. Yes. Wonderful.
All right. Scott, how about you? What is your response?
My, again, with no question, the problem is people, our natural inclination is doing fur one.
Right.
We've done it today. I did this with this.
Answer a question when no question has been asked.
Yeah. Yeah. Because we're just, we're connecting all the dots and going.
And we're extra primed because this is literally what we do.
Yeah, yeah, that's true. I'll give us all a break on that one.
Yeah. I would probably, I don't know, I think Brian's simple.
approach is the right one. I think I would probably do something similar. It would be like,
I always think of what Kim and I would do together for whatever reason that comes to mind that
we would do. I would hear about this. I would tell Kim, she'd go, oh, we should do something for
him. And then we'd send something to the house and just say, hey, we're thinking about you
guys. I know you're going through a rough one. We'd do that. That's kind of our weird love language
sometimes where it's just like, hey, send a box.
Send something they like.
Here's a, here's a giant bucket of jambalai.
It'll last you of two weeks or whatever.
We do that more often than not, rather than, you know, try to verbalize all of the nuances of why we feel bad for them.
Instead, it's just like, here's something comforting and just know we're thinking about you.
That's how I would probably do it.
And I need her to help because she makes the jambalai.
I don't make that.
Do not eat Scott's jambalaya.
No.
He sends you jambalaya.
Definitely don't eat his brownies.
Yeah, no, that's a tough thing.
I mean, as humans, and even relationships, there are times we have to sit and say,
you're not asking me to solve your problem.
You're just asking me to listen.
Tina, this is big with Tina, too.
It's like, we'll do it.
We'll watch, we'll be aware of doing that to each other.
You know, she'll say, oh, my God, work.
I have this guy who's just being a total jerk and he's, you know, blah, blah, blah.
and I know that it's not
what I need to do is not say
oh well you know here's what you do
you sit him down you say hey you're being a total
pratt cut it out I just need to be like
oh god that sucks yeah
and not and not try and jump into
here's my here's how to solve the problem
yeah there is also a common thing
where somebody where you you
and I don't think this is unnatural to feel this way
because you want to you want to you want to solve the problem
you want to solve the problem but you also want to seem
you also want to seem relatable
So you, often people will say, well, you know, a couple of years ago, we did, you know, you want to tell them your piece of similar story.
Right, right.
You know, I had the same thing happened to me.
And you can even do that without saying, here's how I solved it.
And here's what you should do.
You can just say, oh, yeah, God, I've dealt with people like that at work too.
And it's so frustrating because they are, you know, they think that they're God's gift to the company.
And, yeah, it's a tough situation.
And refrain from going, here's a hard.
I handled it. I moved his desk two inches back every day before he came into work until he just
couldn't come in anymore. Yeah. There's a tendency for people to try to make it about themselves
because it's a natural. I think that is a natural inclination to do that, but I don't think
that's ever helpful. I feel like people are always a little bit like, yeah, I'm kind of talking
about me here, not you, and you know. Right, right. Yeah, it's a way of empathizing, but you're
right. It does, it does. I like how you did it. You're like, you know what? I have a guy like
that at work and I totally understand that's that's a that's a quick be relatable no details it's
just like oh I I can empathize is basically all you're saying I think that's good all you're trying
to do is say that yeah shoot I've I've had that problem before and it is you are what you're
experiencing is a legitimate conundrum yeah so you validate you validate that this is a thing
you can relate to you're a good person to have chosen to talk to
Basically, the opposite of saying, that's not a big issue.
You can get over it.
Pull up your big boy pants and cowboy up partner.
Well, and also, like, that sentiment comes across with jumping to advice.
Right.
Unfortunately, right.
You might have the perfect advice to handle this.
And they may not be able to hear it because they don't think you've actually heard them first.
So it really is, a couple example is really a good one, Brian.
Like your example of like, Tina need you to hear her out.
that's she's actually just processing sometimes we don't know we are not so sometimes she might have
to be like just listen brian and then you're like oh now i know what my to do list is it's just to listen
but if you're not clear on that sometimes that can get people can hurt each other inadvertently
when really they're just trying to rely on the other person or you know can i get this out in a
safe place so if someone comes along and tells you this they are there's a reason it's spilling
out, unless they're a close friend and they're telling you this, well, I don't know why
they chose you at the airport to talk about it.
I don't know why I pick this seat on the subway damage.
Exactly.
But everyone has this very similar experience.
And it really varies with how you're raised, I think sometimes.
But I think it's pretty universal.
Or it can be.
And this could be very American too.
Like sometimes I realize like, all this is just like American things.
But it's the somebody just handed you a problem.
And so you're going to solve it.
when what they actually might have done is asked you for an emotional space and you're like
yeah uncomfortable there so we're going to go to solving and so that solve feels like I'm helping
I'm doing something it really does um the brain does some cool stuff and one thing is when it
worries it's it's triggering the parts of the brain that feel like it's doing something which
is interesting and I think this I don't know the studies on the brain about someone asking or
are trying to vent and you trying to solve.
But I'm going to guess it's also triggering those same parts of the brain.
We're like, I'm helping.
I'm doing a thing, right?
And we're all going to do that in various degrees.
If we've not experienced how to be there for someone emotionally and feel successful at doing that,
we're going right for, well, I got a hammer and nail.
Let's do this.
Let's build a barrier.
I'll go find that guy and kill him.
Whatever, you know, like you.
Here's what you do.
Step one.
You need it.
Exactly.
Step two.
Yeah.
And usually we don't have enough information.
to actually be giving any advice.
So this is why I'm always like,
I need more information.
When you write these in,
please put your birthday.
I need to know everything.
Because I'm making up gaps
because I don't have enough information.
And we all do that with one sentence.
They're like, yeah, my dad died.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I'm going to give you space.
I don't actually know what to do.
In fact, the other day,
a friend of mine who's lost a child shared,
I guess it was a clip of
I can't ever remember her name
she's like on the morning show
anyway she's lost somebody
and she described this feeling
and she was sending it to us
how people often think
when someone's grieving and they've lost someone
or they're really going through a hard time
there is this universal weird thought
of like well they need space
I need to give them space for their family
and they need to grieve over there
or they need space
I'm going to make this awkward or ruin.
Whatever our fear is.
Exactly.
I don't want to make things worse for you by saying the wrong thing.
Right.
Even when you reach out, even when you reach out, it feels like you're, you're creating
some vulnerability.
Like I, we had, we recently had somebody in the community, long time, been here forever,
pass away.
I had a couple in a row, actually.
But the more recent one was like way back in the instance days.
And when we heard about his death, it was very sudden and kind of out of nowhere.
and there was this moment of like I really want to reach out to his wife but I don't want to be
annoying and I know how hard this is it must be so I just wanted to just enough information to say
hey let us know if we can do anything we're thinking about you blah blah blah and it I go I went
back and forth should I even do it I finally did do it she seemed very grateful that that ever you know
that she heard that we were all thinking about her and you know anything we could do and that sort
of thing but you're always like a little bit on pins and needles there you don't want to
you don't want to overstep and again make this about you even if it's just you wanting to help
whatever grieving process they're going through may not include your puzzle piece you know
and and so all of that sensitivity is is lovely but then when you are ever in that situation
and this is what my friend was reminding us all of is that it's the showing up your brain
isn't working right when you're grieving it's not you're not going to
you know what I need? Okay, I need this and this and this. You can't do that, but you will still need
those things maybe, right? So it depends on your closeness to somebody, right? You don't want,
like, hi, we just met. I'm going to take care of your children. That would be maybe a little much.
But sending somebody flowers or a note or just a text, those are, I see you, I hear you. And that's
actually what I was trying to have us model here a little bit is here is someone bringing to us
something that is really tricky.
They're in the thick of this.
So I have had some of these experiences.
I have had some fertility tests that hurt awful.
My first thought is like, oh, no, no, no, yeah, I get it.
I get why she doesn't want to do this.
But if I came in with, like you guys are saying,
like a quick, like I get you can be really powerful.
And then my next step is questions of understanding a little more.
If you can tell they really want to talk to you, right?
How old are you?
I need to know your birthday and what's your sign.
Right, right.
And so obviously, I am a terrible actual example of this because I go way too deep, too fast.
But I am also reading the person the whole time and like, oh, clearly they need this.
No one is actually asked to follow up question.
And we talked about this a while ago, my favorite thing to do when someone's divorced.
And I hadn't known that until we run into each other is I always say congratulations or condolences.
And they are thrilled to tell me.
me which one and usually it's one or the other it's it's rare that they're like it's a little of both
it's usually condolences and then i know right or i'm i'm offering them space to share what they
need to share so here's the thing it can be very small it doesn't mean you have to go do deep therapy
which i have to stop myself from doing sometimes but it is really truly like i am here i hear you
and you're making that face the empathy face and you're you're present with them and that like can i buy you
a beer is another extension of here's a thing I can do that is acknowledging this is really
tough and if you don't want to look at my face and we just look forward at the bartender while
we have a beer that is a huge silence and watch the soccer game that happens to be on the TV
up as long as long as long as you don't get a bartender who spends the entire time going
oh kids are great I wish I could have more kids yeah and then i think i think you know your
your situation is a little bit different because if anybody knows you, they know that if they
come to you and say, oh, I've just got this problem. And they're not, you know, they, by telling
you, they should know that as a therapist, you are going to drill them and ask them for more
details. Yeah, it's their fault. It is. It is their fault. If they know who you are, then they're
really asking for it. This happens with strangers, too, though. So I would argue that my unfortunate
empathy face.
Do you, oh, really?
So you do attract people who don't know that you're a therapist.
You get people who just offer this information up, like in the grocery line.
Yes.
Yeah.
Everyone's, I often just get, can you get me stuff off a shelf?
Because I'm tall.
But, and I look like I work everywhere.
I get it all the time.
You got to quit wearing a red shirt and khakis to target.
I know.
I really do.
I look like I know what I'm doing.
You have resting, we've talked about this.
I was blessed with resting bitch face.
I look like I'm pissed all the time.
if I'm not smiling.
And you got resting helper face.
And it means that everybody thinks you're in charge of something all the time and that
you're happily there to help them.
But I also, even with the RBF, I still get asked to get things on high shelves.
I freaking hate it.
We all do.
It drives me nuts.
Like, hey, get tall or lower it all.
I don't care which way.
Terry a step stool with you, lady.
Yeah, come on.
No, happily, I'll do it.
It's fine.
Go shop at the short people, Costco, would you?
Yeah.
This is short people, I'll go.
So, okay, so let's go back to, like, all right.
So we're going to be, we're going to be, I'm so sorry, this is so tough, like, you know.
Yeah.
And it can be something like, is there anything I can do?
That is an authentic feeling, right?
You don't know what to do.
And they're maybe not going to be able to, like, what would you do for this couple?
They're going to be like, well, could you go get a surrogate for me?
Like, what are you going to do?
How far are you, Lily?
to go yeah exactly so it's sometimes that's not an appropriate like thing would you mind inseminating my
wife for me right like that's that's way too far you can't do that yeah you also are like how can
I help I know we just have the beer and you might even say I got a beer like that's my option
like take it or like Kim you know Kim is so good at this and I think it's because
she has Mary Poppins bag with her at all times full of everything anyone would ever need.
So she can pull something out in that moment or she can drop something off.
Like people always need food.
People always like a nice message.
People always just want, think about yourself.
And would you want to just never be acknowledged?
You might think that.
Like, oh, I would want no one to, you know.
And there are certain things.
This one is very sensitive.
If it's like you've lost your spouse or there's like a larger, more obvious thing, your social
support system probably needs to bring some food and, you know, take you out on a Friday.
You know, like be there because it is really common that people disappear, really common.
And I have a lot of sympathy for why you want to. But just know there's a lot of little baby steps
and little things you can do. So being someone you can just say, hey, friend, I know this is
really hard. Anytime you want to talk about this, I am happy to listen as we stare forward at a
soccer game with a beer in our hands. If that is your ability, offer your ability, right?
And if there's, like, you just want to get out or, like, just know that I am here for you.
I hear you. This is tough. Yeah. That goes so far. And so really, the irony is you don't have to do
much more than that. And they may never need you to do more than that. And that's likely. Okay.
All right. So thank you for doing that little experiment with me. As I read this, I was like,
there's no question, but there is someone just sharing. No, it's a great opportunity.
opportunity for us to kind of look at, you know, what our, what our instinct is and how we shouldn't
always just jump to our instinct, which is to solve, just to listen. Yeah. Right. And he's correct in
that he would never force the issue. He's, you know, but he only gave me so much information about that
conversation that all she said was, no, I don't want to do that and now we're done talking. So I don't
think that's probably the full story. But this is a process. I think of what it took to get my
children out of my body. And it was a lot of years of crazy things and hard and lots of miscarriages.
It was very difficult. And if you had said to me at the beginning, hey, guess what? Your last child's super
cool. You really want to get him here. He's a lot of fun. You're going to enjoy raising him.
But you're going to have to go through and listed that. There's no way. There is no way I would have
done any of that if I knew what it was to sign up for it. Right. Right. Right. So,
a lot changes as you go along things definitely got easier you know whatever the thing is
that we're starting with they are at the start they just found out the reason they are now you know
learning about these issues the very real possibility is they can never have children that is
very possible so there's grief that needs to be shared and worked through there's you know
there's a million other directions this could go.
And so what is it they need from us?
I don't know other than we see you.
And this is really tricky and we want to be there for you.
So keep us updated.
You know, if wherever you live, you need a better fertility specialist and you need someone to find that for you, oh, there's a lot of people who can do that.
Right.
Like if there's a to do, ask for a to do.
People are dying to do a to do, right?
but it is this is this is the beginning of a difficult journey that I promise at the end of it
if you had known this is what it is you may not want to do it yeah but as a couple you got to
work hard to stay together on this this is tricky and so if they were asking for any advice
it would be this making sure your marriage is strong making sure we we if we're not on
the same page we have a compassionate way to do that and you know
whatever each needs we make sure some of those things are happening and yeah it's it's going to
take a minute for this to figure itself out in ways that sometimes we're going to require expensive
treatment and or not and another choice right so the way I would compare this uh this feeling of
wanting to get in and help somebody solve a thing and overstepping is what you do with your kids
when they get older and this is something we've had uh you know like any couple of
had to learn this when they're little and you say, well, don't touch the stove. You're being a good
parent. You're teaching them what it means to, you know, you don't want to burn yourself. And now you've
experienced it. And here's what that means. And next time you don't have to do it. Like all, you know,
all that process of when they're young. And then when they get older and you see them either
heading toward a mistake or making a mistake or having made a mistake, there is a, it's hard to
just not solve it for them or try to teach them. And they will, some,
Sometimes, you know, push back if you start doing it.
And my recommendation to parents is notice that and go, oh, right, I would have done this too.
If my parents doing this to me when I'm 24, I would be resistant to them stepping in.
So it's a little like that, that feeling of like, oh, I want to go further, but I maybe shouldn't.
Like really get good at reading that room, I guess, if I had advice.
And that sounds vague, but it's a real thing, especially with your kids as they get older.
It's different, obviously, when you're, you know, this is a friend you're talking to and
they're having this issue and all that.
I'm not making a one-to-one comparison, but I think there's something to that of just
knowing when not to keep stepping in mud, like see the mud for what it is and don't step in it.
And there's also the, like, you are so not alone.
Oh, my goodness.
This is so common and so difficult and thank heavens for the internet to find others or organizations that are part of supporting people as they're struggling with infertility.
I mean, every once in a while, I mean, here's a miscarriage history lesson for everybody.
Our mother had many miscarriages and some were stillborns.
One was she was pregnant eight months when one of them, one of the babies passed.
And the extent of the care for my mother's psychology was they told her it was a girl with a broken ankle.
That's the only thing she knew.
And she never got to hold her or see her.
And she birthed at nine, I think, or close to nine months.
Yeah, she was pregnant for another month.
Yeah.
It's still born in her body.
Right.
And all she knows is it was a girl with a broken ankle.
Yeah, they gave birth and they ran off with the fetus.
And that was it.
We were done.
out and she was on like passed out with whatever they used to give you to pass you out and so um and that
that is that and then i had many in the 2000s era 2000 to 2000 sorry whatever those decade was it was
long yeah the the the uh the mariah carey decade no the uh old in that it would be i don't know
yeah christina aguilera that's not right anyway um the point being i wasn't paying attention truly
But I, there were so many support groups and acknowledgements.
People still said stupid and wrong things, right?
But they were always like, would you like to name?
I had a different feeling about that.
These were not long pregnancies.
There was a lot of them.
I was in a different headspace.
So it was fine for me.
But man, I was so grateful.
And I would tell my mom, like, look at what is offered.
And we would talk through how she was not even considered.
It was never even, is she okay?
Yeah. Right. And would you like a moment? Nothing. Right? That's wild to have that kind of transformation, you know, from the 70s to the 2000s. I know that seems like 30 long years. But what we learned is that women are human and they need have emotions. No. And just like that reality. And so I look at what you have today in 2024. Maybe it's hard to pick through that and that's a little tricky. But to find support as you go along to find.
other friends that are struggling the hardest thing is maybe your friends are all having babies
that can be really tricky when it's just easy as pie for someone and you're like okay i don't want to
go to dinner with you you know so recognize it's okay to get a little insular and a little weird right now
because this is tricky and not everyone gets it and you shouldn't just be as vulnerable with every
last person um and maybe specifically your your wife feeling like she has more support or understands
more than medical things involved and some connections that way might go a long way.
So that's the last thing I would just suggest is expanding your support on this
and not just hoping your friends that you play pickleball with is going to get it.
Oh, I'd love that you pulled pickleball up.
Any chance to mention pickleball is a great opportunity.
One of me and Wendy's siblings is putting a pickleball court into their property.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I kind of look forward to either how much it gets used or how little it gets used.
But I can't wait to come in town and kick everyone's butt.
Oh, you'll kick everyone's butt.
And you're in good shape or better shape than the rest of us.
So you'll do great.
Why are we not playing this at the plaza?
They have a great people ball.
Next year, honestly, we're going to let's start like a league, not a league or whatever.
I'm telling you, I've played against a man who was not.
93 and he annihilated me.
I could not believe the ability of old people to play pickleball.
And that man's name was Dick Van Dyke.
Just to bring us back to his.
No, it's really fun.
It's basically cheating at tennis is what it is.
It's great.
You can't really get hurt.
It's cheating at tennis.
I love it.
That's a great description of pickleball.
It's cheating at tennis.
It is.
I'm sure that the National Pickleball League will not be happy with that description.
All right, Wendy, that was fantastic as always.
And if you have your own thoughts, feelings, comments about this or anything you would like us to cover on the show.
Send it to the morning stream at gmail.com.
Wendy, have a fantastic week.
And we'll see you next time.
Bye.
Took a long time for it to respond to that.
I was like, did she just hang up?
Is she done?
Did she just leave?
She's used to me cutting people off.
Yeah, she's just waiting for the hammer to fall, basically.
Yeah, the hammer does.
It always falls.
Brian, it's time for us to end things.
But before we do, some reminders.
Today, Coverville, remind folks again what's going on in Coverville?
Sure, Jack and Pink, by the way, first thing you'll learn about pink, not her real name.
Oh, I can't believe it.
Crazy.
Yeah, it's Paige.
She is turning 45.
Jack Black is turning 55 this week, so combining both of those shows into one and doing a black pink episode.
That'll be noon today, 12 p.m. Mountain Time, Twitch.tv.
You almost got Chai all over my screen.
I was trying. I saw you taking a drink. I said, let's just do it.
Perfect timing to say Bade. Nice to do it. Tonight at 5 p.m.
We'll have CORE, going to be an exciting one. We're going to talk about what happened with that PlayStation game, Concord, and why it got pulled and refunded after just six measly days.
Well, it turns out it sold like garbage, and we're going to dig into why.
Same reason the J-Lo concert got scrapped.
A little bit, a little bit. Bad marketing combo of that.
that plus hey hero shooters aren't what they used to be why and also it took them eight years to
make it and also what's the deal with triple a we're going to talk about all those things tonight
at 5 p.m plus the games we played i found a new like chore core game that i'm still getting my
head around but i think i might this is going to be a problem it's called star trucker uh-huh and it's
literally you're in space and you're in a ship but the ship is kind of shaped like a you know like a like a
a semi-truck and your job is to travel around the universe and drop off shipments that you get
hired to take around and you've I can't eat it's so up my alley I can barely even think
crazy taxi in space is what it is kind of except less for less frenetic it's more like um
slowly like those streets you have to turn on yeah it's space fedex yeah it's basically it
I picked up a trucker from an actual, like, a Travel America truck stop a few days ago for Lyft to take him to his aunt's house.
He was taking his giant, smelly duffel bag of clothes, dirty clothes.
It wasn't smelling in the car, but he was describing it.
Just a smelly bag of clothes up to his aunt's house who lives in Denver.
He's from Wichita.
And he was taken to his aunt's house.
But we talked the whole time about trucking and what that life is like, like how many days on the road he'll get before he gets a break, that sort of thing.
He says, I do nothing but listen to a podcast.
I said, oh, what do you listen to?
And he says, I listen to a podcast about opening your own laundromat
because I've learned that the best passive income job you can get
is to buy a laundromat and just be there to fix the machines when they need to
because you barely just make the money hand over fist with people coming to
use the washers and dryers, yes.
What about the initial?
The initial overhead sounds hard to deal with.
Yeah, I mean, you've got to buy, obviously, you have to buy a laundromat to start with.
But once you do that, your ROI, he said, is quick.
You know, it pays for itself fairly quickly, and then you just, that's a perfect passive income.
To the point where it's like, as soon as I get home, I'm like, let me just look and see what it would cost to buy a laundromat.
I didn't get any further than that.
I actually didn't find any laundromats for sale in Arvada, but.
I didn't get one on Kovacs.
Get a Kovacs location out there.
A little dirty little...
Oh, Koufax.
Oh, Kovacs.
Sorry, Kovacs.
No, right.
No facial tattoos allowed in my...
In my laundromat.
No demon bloods.
That's right.
You have to come do the change at like five in the morning when no gang activity is happening.
Right, exactly.
You'll be all right.
Yes.
That's wild.
There's this game.
Or that's what my dad did.
We own like three or four of these laundromats when I was.
really young. I thought he had, okay, that's right, because he would put his arcade machines into the laundromats.
Yeah, he started that way. So it started with laundromats, just playing laundromats. Then they started putting arcade machines in the laundromat, making extra money. And then he moved, that's when he moved to actual arcades and stopped. And then it was around the time the entire business crashed. But still, there was a moment there, you know, when it was going really well. And he loved that stuff. And it was fun. We used to go, you know what I liked? I was such a sucker for this. Do you remember these old vending machines?
that would poop out piping hot, like burn your face off soup.
Do you remember these?
It was almost just like a broth, like a beef broth that would come out in a little cup,
and the cup had poker cards on it.
Oh, yeah, well, we'd have that, like the coffee machine.
It would be a machine that did coffee, hot chocolate, and the soup, right?
Yeah, all in the same device.
And the bottom of the cup would have the fifth card to see if you actually had four of a kind
or if it was just three.
Yeah, and you got nothing for it.
It's not like you could turn it in and do anything,
but there was a little poker minigame on every tub
You're just playing against the person who got soup before you
Yeah I loved that thing
I don't know why it's kind of gross because it was all
The same spout was pooping out all three of those drink types
Right yeah yeah it's really weird
Your soup tastes a little bit like hot cocoa and coffee
Yeah a little bit and you felt like you were it was so hot
The water was so hot that we'd burn our tongues every time
We're just always burning her mouth
Oh geez ah the 80s
The um the the the the past
of income of that like the you know talking about laundromats and stuff the tina and i figured
this out a few weeks ago and told tina you know i finally figured out what my dream retirement thing is
and it is to open a board game shop in old town arvada that has um an office in the back with
a big window and speakers and i would do my podcasting in there yeah and at night we'd have
people come in and play board games and we'd have like a little you know beverages and they
could order, take out food, and bring it in, and that sort of thing.
There'd be a little 3D printing business in the back as well where people could print
miniatures for their board games or I need to print some horns.
Horns should be arriving soon.
Oh, yeah.
Or whatever.
But like, that is the, like I told you and I said, that is my dream.
There is not another business like that in Old Town, Arvada.
There's no, you know, you can go to bars, tons of bars in Old Town, Arvada and a couple
restaurants, but no like board gaming space.
And so it's like, all right, how do I make this happen?
Bobby says your windows are bad for podcasts.
Your dream is flawed.
Why is that?
Why are windows?
Why are windows?
Oh, I get it.
Windows.
I get it.
I don't think that's what he means.
I think he means like having people stare at you while you're making a podcast
or the sound reverberation or something.
Yeah, just darken it.
So they can see you, but you can't see them.
You can do that.
Yeah, there we go.
Yeah, sound reflections.
I mean, the original frog.
Pants name came from Kim and I thinking about doing a bookstore for kids and then we'd have a gallery
and we'd have a little cafe and Carter would run the cafe like these dreams are similar to mine and
man if I could figure it the problem is the location and the property and the cost of all that
if that somehow worked itself out it'd be an amazing thing happily die and I don't want to live
above it all right up on some lofty apartment up there holy shit I would do this in a heartbeat if
get afforded. Yeah, exactly. What do we do? Do we, do we, do we indigo go go our dreams, Scott,
and just, uh, you know, so we're still producing TMS in our, in our bookshop,
bookstore coffee shop and, and, uh, board game 3D printing place. That's right. Let's do it,
let's do it in green, uh, green river. We'll meet in the metal. Perfect. I'll bet you
the, uh, we'd get a, uh, a shop for a screaming deal there. Oh, yeah, hell of a deal in
Green River. Might have to do it on the river to get, save money. I actually do it. Yeah, exactly. We'll
nice to the squishy place.
Anyway, core is what...
Oh, yeah, core.
That's where we started with this.
Space structure, core.
Yep, that's happening tonight
along with some other cool stuff.
And then couch party tomorrow.
We're still...
So I was going back and forth with Monica a little bit.
I didn't realize this,
but we have a Friday of the 13th coming up,
not this week, but the next week.
So that might be fun.
Like start a Friday the 13th movie.
Oh, tomorrow.
Yes, and watch the second half of it.
Yeah.
So maybe we do that.
That might be fun.
What's the...
Was there a recent?
I know there was the new Halloween ends or whatever it was called with Jamie Lee Curtis.
Another one, right?
But she's been doing those off and on,
been making appearances in some of those Halloween movies all over the place.
Yeah.
Anything like that, though, something that's like a, I don't know,
just fits the 13th kind of vibe.
That'd be fine.
Yeah.
But, yeah, I'm totally up for that.
Yeah, I'm down for that.
Well, let's leave it up to her to pick something for us.
Yeah, Monica, you're in charge.
You tell us what?
You're our star of the hit podcast, Gore.
Yeah.
Check it out today.
Yeah, gore.
Gore is a good podcast about gory, hoary movies.
Well, maybe not, hoary is not the right word.
Horror.
Don't say hoary.
Don't say hoary.
Don't say hoary.
Anyway, that'll be tomorrow at 10 a.m.
So come all patrons for that.
Also play retro on Friday, 130 amount of time.
Me and Dunaway doing it up and Film Sack this weekend.
We are doing Omega Doom.
Oh, yeah, Omega Doom.
I'm actually looking forward to this.
I like it when it's like something I have no idea what I'm getting into.
Yeah, yeah.
Could be Daughters of Satan.
Could be Baby Driver.
You never know.
You don't know.
You really don't.
I'm guessing closer to Daughters of Satan than Baby Driver.
Probably closer to the former than the latter.
Yeah.
Man, I love Baby Driver.
I'm so glad to have finally seen it.
Gosh, dang it at that movie.
All right.
That is it for us.
Frogpants.com slash TMS for all your needs.
And except this one need to play a request.
Although you can request your request there,
but to play them, Brian has to have them.
And then he deals them right now.
So, Brian, what are you playing?
Sure. Well, we've had this guy on a few times for feud and asses. No, I guess nobody ever comes on for half-asses. But we've had Yana on quite a few times for the feud, and he's a member of the Frog Pan's Music League and all that stuff. He says, just like 35 years before today, it is yet again my birthday, as it is for Freddie Mercury and Werner-Zog, too. Sad but true. As you read this message, I'm waiting for the Who to start their gig, 1130 Mountain Time.
So what better way to celebrate my 36 than by spreading the joy of Mongolian throat singing through TMS?
Love the show, though.
Love Yana.
Yeah, when I say The Who, I'm not talking about Roger Daltrey, Pete Townsend, and the gang.
I'm talking about the H.U.
The Mongolian heavy metal, folk heavy metal group called The Who.
Now here's where Hobo Pope D, whose song I said, nope.
Can't play it, two growly, uh, uh, cookie monster sounds.
In this case, this is how these guys sound.
They're Mongolian throat singers.
They sound like cookie monster, but it isn't accompanied by,
good, what's the difference right there?
This pleases me.
Um, how about a Metallica cover by The Who?
This is a sad but true.
This is, uh, came out in 2020 as a single that The Who released.
And, uh, here is sad but true.
And...
