The MorningStream. This car smells weird. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for the 25th of November, 2024. Ooh, we missed a 2424 by a day. We did, yeah, we did a film sack on that day, but that's not a, we don't usually look at the date for film sack.

and comment on it. Yeah. Not my favorite thing to do, but we did it, and we had a great time. Well, I shouldn't say Films like. I love Filmsing. No, no, we had a great time. Yeah, it was a great time on there, absolutely. You enjoyed, I think you enjoyed the movie a lot more, well, certainly a lot more than I did,

but I don't know how it ranked with the other two. I think I enjoyed it, fine. It would be about the level, it's fine. I liked it a lot. I think it's just because I went in with such, I didn't know what I was getting. I just thought it was going to be, sort of by the numbers. And in some ways it was, but it also surprised me in some ways. And then also got weird with which story I was supposed to follow.

That was weird. Anyway, that's FilmSack. So go watch FilmSack. Yeah, Filmtack.com, everybody. Let us know what you think. All right, we're going to get right into it today. It's a Monday. We're starting a brand new week.

And I went and saw Gladiator over the weekend. And speaking of FilmTack, I gave kind of a brief review of it there. But there was a part of this I wanted to share here that I think fits this movie really well. and this gives zero spoilers of any kind to this movie by saying this. We saw it in a theater, very busy theater that was about half full of people going to see Gladiator 2, and on the other half we're all seeing Wicked, and there was just a cacophony of people in pink dresses and wicked witch costumes and all this kind of stuff, and then regular people going to see Gladiator with no cosplay.

Nobody in Gladiator costumes, well, that's good. No, I mean, I was kind of hoping somebody did, but nobody did. It was disappointing. So anyway, we go in there and it was great. We see the movie. I come out. And here's my take. I really enjoyed Gladiator 2 a lot.

As Brian said, he liked it a lot. I really liked it. Here's what I'll say about it in comparison to the first movie, which is what everybody wants to know. It is the first movie is a stream. Okay, I'm going to give you a comparison. It's like a streamlined RPG video game, like a role playing game where it is very, not stringent, but the progression is very consistent and has a real great loop and flow to it. You progress from level zero to level 60 in a really satisfying, kind of straightforward way.

This movie is also like an RPG, but there are a ton of side quests that can make you a little distracted sometimes. Right, right. That's the comparison I would give. so it's very true yes i'd also say it's like uh glad eater two is like gladator one but he found the warp zone i like that that's good actually skip ahead a little yeah skip some levels yeah it it does feel a little like maybe there's a there's a rid there's a redly scott director's cut in this one somewhere um yeah it's already long but that's how it was with um kingdom of heaven

it was long already but it wasn't you could tell something was missing he did this director's cut Now it's really long, but it's amazing. And I'm not saying that that will have the same effect here. I think this thing's pretty good on its own. But there may be more to fill in there just to kind of, I don't know. There's some rushed moments. It's a B plus a minus right now, but a director's cut might just shoot it right up in a solid A territory. Yeah.

And like you had said, and I just want to pile on to this and agree, the performances are there. That's what you go for. Everyone's amazing. Nobody puts in half-assed work across the board. Everyone's great. Don't go in expecting, like, I don't know how to explain this. Like, there's plenty of Ridley Scott movies with great ensemble cast that are all, like, all really good.

I don't know what it was in here, though, but everybody just kind of had their own thing to do, and they all did it extremely well. And that adds a lot to making this a really good follow-up. Also, be prepared for baboons. That's all I'll say. Yeah. Yeah, no much. And sharks and yeah.

Yeah, that stuff is great. Holy crap. It's great, really well done. The set pieces are insane in there. But I had really good time with it. And they even had, again, not to do any spoilers. They had a de-aging moment in there that actually didn't feel, didn't, you know, it made me wonder if they had uncut footage from the first movie that they used for the second.

I had wondered about that because I was my brain, because I didn't see, I didn't rewatch it like you did right before. went so you know exactly what you were given on film i know that scene was not in glad eater one yeah so how they did that and did they bring a certain person around for something maybe i don't know i can't tell but it's really good and also let's just say there's characters who you know to show something in the past they have to kind of look like someone who's much older than they would be when they filmed the first movie and they somehow pulled that off like there's some really impressive stuff in there. It doesn't all have to look like, that doesn't have to all have alien Romulus issues.

That's right. And if you've seen that, you know what we're talking about. If you know, you know. Yep. But Queen, what's her name from Wonder Woman's mom? Connie Nelson. Connie Nelson puts in such a great performance. She's great. And it also is just further proof that Pedro Pascal, as much as we're a little saturated with him right now, he's in everything, he's all around us. You can't avoid him. the dude is so good and just melts into rolls to the point that you no longer go,

oh, another Pedro Pascal role. Instead, you're just like, damn it, that guy's just killing in here. So good. Yeah. Anyway, and if you want to see Denzel Washington in the wackiest thing, I've seen him doing a long time. Yeah. Really? You got to go. You got to go see it.

Anyway, so, Brian, you on the other hand, way ahead of the curve. You've seen Gladiator already, but then you moved right into Wicked. How was that? It did. I thought, you know, maybe if I don't. put the name in there, you won't even say the name and I can get to do it. Oh, I still did it, didn't I? Brian saw Wicked. Sorry, everybody. I just got to be vague and say, Brian, you did something, right? I'll be better at that. I don't care about. I don't care about that, Scott.

But I did see Wicked. We went last night and I thought, all right, Sunday night, I think it's, I wonder if kids are just, are they fully out of school this week or usually we got, we just got a four-day weekend. We just got Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Yeah, we never had the full week. If the Kids are getting a full week. I'd demand a refund. Yeah. So it was Sunday night, school night, and still a completely packed theater to see Wicked last night at 6. And this is not a short movie, folks. This is a two and a half hour movie, and it's just part one. So be prepared that, you know, if you're taking kids, make sure that they, you know, that they're good to sit through the whole thing or at least, you know, make it halfway through

without a P-break and then go back to it. Did they do this like end game where they didn't tell you it was a two-parter until you get to the movie and then it's like, oh, crap, it's a two-parter? Like, how did they do? Because I didn't know this. I didn't know until yesterday when I asked my echo show device, how long is Wicked? And it said, Wicked, Part 1 is two hours and 20 minutes. Wait, what, or 240 minutes? Sorry, 2 hours and 40 minutes. What? Really, it's part one? Come on now.

So I don't know if they, I don't know if they, have mentioned it i don't remember seeing that in the trailer saying you know wicked part one part two is coming out next year but yeah and i haven't followed any like appearances on talk shows and stuff maybe they've been saying it i just missed maybe maybe they have yeah but uh in any case boy we uh as much as i like gladiator uh wicked won the weekend for us we both loved it and we were um at least if not out loud in our heads singing the songs uh the whole rest of the way home and a little bit in our in our heads as we were trying

to sleep. But it is great. And if you've seen the musical, Teen and I saw the musical that came through Denver, and they added, at least to my memory, it's been a few years since we saw, it's been several years since we saw Wicked the musical, the play. But

they've added a lot of stuff to it for the movie. And rightly so, if they're turning what I think was a two and a half hour musical into a what could easily shape up to be a five hour pair of movies if you put them

together. Sure. It Cynthia Arrivo absolutely blew our minds with her singing ability her acting. We already knew her acting was amazing.

But even sitting there next to Ariana Grande, who, you know, is fine singer. I think she's a little nasal, in my opinion, but that's just me. Cynthia Revo was amazing. Blue our minds with her singing. And saying, in my

opinion, again, sang circles around Ariana Nacho Grande. Really? Wow. But I hear Nacho Grande is real good at the acting, like the acting. She is. Yeah. And I think it's because this character is probably a little bit

Like the real Arianna Grande. Again, maybe, you know, this is my opinion. And seeing, you know, we talked about this on film sec too. Ariana Grande, amazing on SNL when she's guesting there. Like, her comedy

chops are great. You see her on Fallon and she, they do the spinning wheel of other pop stars. And she can, on a dime, do impersonations of Brittany and a Del and all these other singers and perfectly, like perfectly nail all those other, all those impersonations.

But she strikes me as a person who spent a lot of time in the mirror figuring out what her facial expressions should always be when she is not talking or singing and kind of has that Nickelodeon level acting ability from the Nickelodeon of the 90s and 2000s where you know oh oh kind of stuff so this is our this is a litmus test for how many fans of arna grande we have in our listening audience we're going to see where that Venn diagram overlaps with TMS and Ariana Grande but um but uh but exactly but in any case absolutely loved it uh and this is like this is a go out and see it film couple surprises in there Obviously, I'm not going to spoil them, but that would be, if I do that, I'd be defying NDA, but, uh, that's good.

I guess I'm already, I guess I'm already defying brevity with my, uh, with my review here. But anyway, excellent. Go see it. See it in theaters if you can. All right. I think we're going to, we, uh, people seemed real excited when they came out of that theater, uh, as we were going in, they were all pretty stoked. So we had signs outside of ours that said, hey, there's some flashing light sequences in

this film but nothing that said please don't sing which surprises me but maybe i guess it's almo draft house and they feel like they cover that with the whole be quiet no one to shut the f up yeah probably probably felt redundant to tell people to be quiet twice or whatever yeah exactly so uh amc will tell you don't sing but at almo draft house it's implied yeah it's part of the deal part of the deal part of the agreement cynthia rivo is my my favorite thing she ever did was her role as Holly Gibney and the outsider. I loved her and that so much. She's so good.

Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah. And there's a whole other out. There's a whole other book, Stephen King wrote called Holly, which is more story. Like she's, you know, on another case sort of thing. I haven't read it. So I don't know much about it, but I hope that comes around. And if they do that, I hope they hire her again.

Maybe she'd be too expensive now. Sure. She's so good. Yeah. Yeah, we watched the Harriet Tubman movie. We did see bad times at the El Royale, and I forgot she was in that. But really good in that. Yeah.

Oh, I love that movie. That movie's underrated. It is. Yeah. More people should have seen it. Well, anyway, good. So big thumbs up from Brian, you guys. Go see it.

Big thumbs up. So go see it before you hear all about it. Now, I don't want to shock anybody, but occasionally we say a word wrong on this show. And then somebody at home sends in a call and says, hey, you say this wrong. I know. Oh, boy. I know. Oh, boy.

I can't believe we do that. that crazy? That just seems insane to me. But insanity or not, we got this call. All right. Let's get corrected. It's only nine seconds, so, you know, they only had one reason to call, and here it is. Yeah, call for the morning stream. It's Mark from Melbourne here. It's Emu, not Emu. Eamu. Thank you. Emu.

Emu. Emu. It's how you're supposed to say emu. Yeah, like I could have listened to an Australian telling me how to speak. I mean, let's see if there's like a pronunciation. The day I let the Australian correct my pronunciation is... All right. Let's see if we can find... E-me-you.

Do we have that guy that we love? Let's see, is it this guy? Oh. I don't know if you're saying. Today, we are going to learn how to pronounce the name of a large flightless bird. We are looking at how to pronounce the name of this animal, which is endemic to Australia. this is the second largest living bird by height after its relative the ostrich

you're right on with this how do you go about pronouncing it some people say it as emu but in Australia the Australians the Aussies certainly say it as emu the emu bird okay his mouth noises need to be under control

oh dude the enu why is he so close to the, I mean, it's just like eating it. He's like, today, you're going to see you there,

the production. Also, I'm just going to say this. Maybe this makes me a bigot or something. I don't know what this makes me. But I need a guy who's going to tell me how to pronounce things.

I need him to not have one of the thickest accents I've ever heard in my life. Do you know what I mean? Like, I need a more neutral accent. And I know the world's full of accents. I understand that. But what is, find the neutrality wherever it is.

It may not be America. It might be Europe. It may be somewhere else. But find me some middle ground thing that isn't... To him, Scott, we have a strong accent. Well, that's true. He probably... But that guy, I hope he's fulfilled after eating his entire microphone.

That's right. Well, all, all right, so first of all, when you said it was a nine-second clip telling us how to pronounce something, I immediately knew it wasn't clear. Second of all, when the fact that Australians, I like how he clarifies, most people correct and sane people in the world pronounce it emu but those wacky yeah those crazy Australians those Aussies yeah you're right though we don't well sometimes we get one short like this don't know glacens sometimes it's short from Claire that's true sometimes we do get a short clarification yeah I'm gonna try to remember this though I'm gonna say emu emu emu yeah emu yeah all right

it so it goes back to my question on do you pronounce the name of a place in the accent of the people who live there um it came up when teen i went to uh can can can i can't i can't even do it right now uh not not in france but australia c a i r n s cairns oh the one that i would have said cairns if i saw it yeah right exactly um And, you know, while we were there, we said, oh, yeah, no, this is our first time ever in Cairns and stuff like that. We'd, you know, be doing that. But, you know, when you go, do you pronounce it Tallahassee when you go there? Yeah, like, how do you, that's a good point. If it's set a certain way, do you need to do it in the local dialect slash accent? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, we're going to beckshire. So if you're Australian, you say emu, emu, emu, emu. Melbourne, email. Mew. And then we say Melbourne, Melbourne, and we shouldn't. No, Melbourne, Melbourne. Yeah. Hurricane, Hurricane, Utah. Galway. Hurricane, yep.

Yeah, these are all important things. Frankfort, yeah. Frankfort, if it's in Kentucky, but Frankfurt, if it's in Germany. That's right. Yeah. Versailles, if it's in, let's see, Versailles, if it's in France, Versailles, if it's in, is that also Kentucky? Where's Versailles? Is it ever Versalus? Because I think I see that in my head when I see it. No, but if you, if four hours goes by and you don't get rid of your Versalus, then make sure to call a doctor.

It does sound like an ED medicine. Yeah. We have a, we have in Colorado, actually in Denton, in north of Arvada here by about 20 minutes is a place called Lewisville. And it takes, my brain has to like really. quickly adjust to not go Louisville. Right. You know, like, oh, yeah,

no, that's up at the Louisville liquor store. I mean, the Louisville liquor store. Yeah. I know that, like, where Kim comes from,

New Orleans is, is messed up a lot. People who say New Orleans are just laughed out of town. Oh, for sure. And rightly so. Give me, give me back those bignets

and get the F out. Yeah. You can accept Norlands and you can accept New Orleans. But if you do the New Orleans, yeah, New Orleans, yeah, New Orleans.

Although. Yeah. You don't, when you go to that Vegas hotel, you don't go, I'm going to the Orleans. I'm going to, I'm going to Thorlands. Yeah, that's terrible. Because you'd have to like even do it as one syllable. Yeah, Orleans. You have to say the Orleans, because that's stupid.

Yeah, they just screwed up there. They shouldn't have called that thing that. That is the smelliest movie theater I've ever been in, by the way. Oh, at the Orleans? I don't know. I don't know what was going on in there. It was musty. Just, I feel like I was getting mold sports.

That's not where we saw Endgame, is it? No, no, no. We saw that in that cool downtown. thing. A really cool downtown theater, yeah. Except for the lights that were so bright when you blink for... That was Infinity War, was the theater who went to for... That had those stupid blue lights that, like, I love...

You know, it's like, you figure it out before the next movie theater does it better. And it's like, all right, I'm going to have a light that we can switch on at our clean when we want a popcorn refill or a drink refill. But you pointed away from the people... Yeah, it looks like a side. And all the people behind you. It's like a sylon convention in there. It's totally honest.

This is so distracting because they would blink. And you're like, okay, I'm going to focus on this movie, but all these little blue lights are going all over the place. It was terrible. I wanted to snap my fingers and turn half of them off. Oh, only 50% though. Yeah, only 50%. We're going to play a game.

Hopefully get more than 50% of our answer is correct. We'll see if that happens or not. Oh, we don't have a done away in there yet. He knows we're doing this this week, right? He's, you know. I see him. Oh, there he is. No, he's in.

Oh, I must have looked right when he did it. Oh, I refreshed. I refreshed and maybe he was logged in before I refreshed. He needed a refresh. That's the truth. All right. Well, let's get him in here. Let's see what we can make out of this and have some fun.

You know him, you love him. It's Brian Dunaway all the way from one of the Carolinas. I'll let you guess which one. Hello, Brian. How are you? Hi, Scott and Brian. Yeah. All the way from 63.

South Carolina. How are things in 63 today? No, it's at 49. Forty-nine. Close enough. I'm not feeling well. I got a freaking head cold. Apparently viral because the rest of the family was sick a few days before me and then it's like, oh, yay.

I get the drainage. Yeah, there's something like that's going around. My daughter and her two kids just went through like a three-day thing, but it was quick. So hopefully it's like that for you, nice and fast. We better get the whole night of here because I'm sick of feeling dizzy with the with the fluid in my ear and the stuff coming down my throat.

Yeah. I need to get you back to laying down and feeling better. Yeah. You were... I tried laying down. You ever be sick where it's like... Oh, yeah. You're just uncomfortable.

No, it's the worst. I hate that. You need to be able to be comfortable. So have lots of pillows, lots of, you know, blankets, something bad on TV. VHS, preferably for you. Every couple of minutes, I have like a snot flow that kind of just like runs over some nose hairs and goes, tickle diggle diggle i'm like ah you were coming you were just

stars of you who are weren't finished with your breakfast uh there you are you are enjoy it now you're drinking uh the only time i feel good is when i'm sitting at uh sitting up and drinking uh the the throat coat t throat coat what do you put in there what's what's in there this is it's a herbal tea okay and it's it's called uh throat coat and literally it it's got a very strong taste of black licorish so if that's not your job

Jam. Well, you know, I can't taste anything anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Not a fan. But, yeah, but it does throat my coat and it makes it feel good. But then as soon as I stop drinking it, and it's like, oh, now I feel miserable. I like that you said it throats your coat. That's what you said. Throats your coat. Yeah.

I have something similar. Somehow I got on the list for absente. It's an absinth. Oh, absente. That's a good way to go. Yeah. Yeah, it's a really good way to go. The company, the absente company, sent me two.

bottles of absinth. They're 101 and then they're Especial. And each one of them came with the little metal thing that you put the sugar cube on with the little green fairy on it and you you know, you pour the drink over the sugar cube and then pour a little water over it to melt the sugar cube into the drink

and all that. That worked for you? It was good. Oh, it's great. It's very good. I don't know about, I don't know what it does to my throat, but everything else feels a nice afterwards. Right. Who cares at that point? It's that same black licorish flavor is why I brought that up. Blah. Blah. It's Gross. I'll do it if I'm sick, and it's the only thing that'll help me, but I can't drink that.

That's pretty much it. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you were coming down with it on film sack, and we all felt back then, and now we feel even worse. At least you're home. You're home, taking a little time out. That's good. Nothing wrong with that. I suppose. Well, let's see if this has affected your brain at all, and we'll play a game. Brian, tell us who we're playing four and what's at stake today. What are we doing? Yeah, we'll do. Welcome to Morning Half-Aasses, a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving you the answers. I'm going to give Scott and Brandon category and six possible answers. Three of which are correct, and three, like, throating your coat, are incorrect. Depending on how confident they feel with the category, they can provide one, two or three guesses. But if you get any of those wrong, you get nothing, nothing for that round. Get one right, gets you a point. Two right gets you three points. Three right gets you five points.

And we'll add up all those points after three rounds. And you'll win a prize for your contestant. Oh, who are the contestants? What? Contestants. Scott, you're playing for Tim in Orange, California. Ooh, Orange, California. All right. Brian, you're paying for Pete Emu, Madden in Melbourne, in Australia. Paying for Pete. Yeah, playing for Pete.

It's good to play for Pete. Pete's a good dude. Yeah. Pete's a good dude. Are you guys yelling? It's so loud in here. I don't know. It's just your echoey head with your head cold, you know?

I know. Right click on our things and turn us down. I've already done it. You know what the worst thing is about that? is that when you have a cold and you kind of get the left ear, right ear, and it swaps places throughout the day. Worst time to be a podcaster. You don't live in a mono world when you're making content.

It's the worst. So hopefully you feel better by, you know, Wednesday when you do this again. By Thanksgiving, I'm hoping I'll feel Thanksgiving. Then you can give thanks. That's a good idea. Yeah. Thanksgiving for not being sick. Sure.

And for throat in my coat. Yep. That's great. All right. All right. Let's get to the game. We're going food and family today, because this is the week that you would do food and family. And so I hunted through the...

There's food and family? Yeah, food and family. Like yesterday, like the and you shouldn't be. Yeah, exactly. All right. All right. Family and food. Let's start with this one.

Which of these were items on the original McDonald's menu? So when you walked into your very first McDonald's on that opening, Do you think I am? Old enough to look, I know that you're hunting for a McRib right now. Oh. I hear your choices. The Mighty Big Mac, the tempting cheeseburger, golden McNuggets, crispy fish sandwich, steaming hot coffee, and triple thick shakes.

Three of those things were on the original McDonald's menu. Did you see they're selling the McRib sauce by the gallon now? What? Is it just barbecue sauce? Is it special? It's special, baby. No. Really?

There's nothing special about that. special in what that it's gross and too sweet and all that that's what makes it gross yeah it's foul don't eat two thirds sugar probably is what it is all right you guys are both locked in you guys both figured out triple triple thick shakes absolutely was on that original menu there might be um yeah Brian you said crispy fish sandwich and now they think about it well they don't serve fish in the beginning but it was just some very local you know and colloquial go ahead they didn't Scott you said tempting cheeseburger and steaming

coffee congratulations scott you got all three correct way to go scy guy let me tell you why congratulations feel good let me tell you why i think these this was a guess but it was a guess based on a voice in my head going what would in the 50s the voice of these advertisements be it's a tempting cheeseburger steaming hot coffee and a triple thick shake like those make sense to me the rest of these didn't sound like something you'd say in the 50s and my new mcnuggets were way later so that helped But, you know, when we were kids going to McDonald's in the 80s and stuff. Yeah, Big Mac, I think is, Big Mac's like 70s or something when that happened, I think. Yeah, it is.

It was. Yeah. So let me tell you something. Let me answer your question done away. I feel great about getting them all right. No, no, no. I didn't say you feel good about getting your answers. No, I said you feel good about beating the sick guy.

Oh, yes. The answer is also yes. You can just move that yes right up the line. The sick guy. move over to family. We're really throat in my coat right now, buddy. When you get together with your family and you all gather around the TV to watch Jerry Springer, which of these are Jerry Springer episode titles? Pregnant gals and a mime.

Right. Because we assumed, oh, well, Ireland always had potatoes. Yeah. Brian, you also said string beans. Right. String beans were introduced. Like Columbus actually brought string beans to Europe after visiting the Caribbean, I think. Oh, okay.

Very good. He's like, what the crap are the? Look at these. Look at them. Exactly. And then finally, you both chose beats. I like beats. Oh, it is the correct.

It is corn. It was corn. You unchecked corn. You should have unchecked beats and kept corn. Congratulations, Scott. I'm glad I won, but I was, you always hear the like, we called it in Mays. And I'm like, well, that's because, oh, because you guys, you introduced it. And then, okay.

Yeah, Columbus brought corn to Europe from Peru. Oddly enough. I thought, for some reason I was thinking I put corn last time we did this. And I got corn and potatoes wrong. And I guess I just got potatoes wrong. You just got potatoes run the last time we did this. We had a different question, but it might have had similar answers. But potato, I know potato has come up before in this discussion.

Yeah. So who got prizes? Congratulations, Scott, and by proxy, congratulations, Tim, in Orange, California. You're going to be getting a copy. Finally, we're giving it away, infraspace. And you suck at parking, the complete edition. Every parking lot is unlocked in the you suck at parking complete edition. Everyone who missed out on that one truly missed out.

That game is fantastic. You're going to love it. Right. Tim, I looked up online and it said that he got it from Peru, that he got, that he did pick up corn from, or yeah, corn from Peru and took it to. So we really should be celebrating Columbus's, his ability to spread vegetables across the world. If we wouldn't have a Columbus Day, we could, you know, we can forget about the other things and just go, hey, you know, what about the vegetables? vegetable day let's do it columbus vegetable day but uh Pete don't let me let me not forget to say that Pete Madden in Melbourne Australia you are getting a copy of Jassant J-U-S-A-N-T better game for all your hard

work in sending in an email well done I don't know what that game is but I'll take Dunaway's reaction as a as true yeah you're the real winner yeah you're the real winner congratulations to both of you congratulations you're both winners in my heart sweating no just you just you. I'm a little cold, actually. I got to turn on this heater. Oh. I'll be cold later.

I'm sweating now for the later cold. Look, your menopause is none of our business. All right. Hey, hey, look, done away. Here's the manopause. Here's the deal.

You're going to feel better, and we'll do this again Wednesday, and it'll be great. And then somehow, in between all of that, you'll have time to play the video game we're talking about on Friday. Yeah.

Medieval. Medieval, right? From PlayStation 1. People have been begging us to play it. And I think I have very little experience with that. game. So I'm going to, you know, open my heart. No experience. I parted up on the PlayStation Classic yesterday, and it looks like a lot of fun. Platformer where you're carrying your head around or something. Don't I remember the main character

kind of having his head in his arms or something? I think there is some, some animation with that, but it is not a platformer. It's a third person. Gotcha. Still kind of platformer-ish, though. Like, in the way that Mario 64 is still a platform. I didn't platform anywhere when I played for like 30 minutes. I'm not saying there's not platforming later. I'm just saying there was a lot of walking. Yeah, you're right. You're right.

This one probably is more of an action adventure game if you had to. Yeah, it's got a big following. People really like it. They did a remastered version last year that did not receive much goodwill. And I'm not sure why, but we'll dig into that too. All of that coming up this weekend. And before that, Brian, just needs to get better. We hope you feel better.

That's all we want. Oh, thank you. No, you kiss our butts. Kiss our butts. Oh, I, damn it. I'm too slow on the thing. Dammit, there he goes. He's out of here now.

All right, well done. Yeah. That was fun. Now it's time for the news. And here it is right here. Where is it? We'll do this one. It's time for the news brought you by.

Ever dreamed of watching Bombats play Rocket League live? Well, we have it on. good authority that he does just that at Twitch.tv slash bombats. Yeah, that guy's great. Is there a Z in that name? Let's see, some people know. Bombads.

Yes, I should make sure to spell it. B-A-U-M-B-A-T-Z. There you go. Reminds me E-BOMBs world. Remember that website? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Still a thing? Can you go there and...

I don't know. Do shit. It's been a long time since I went near that place and I don't know if it's still a thing or not. Not that we, you know, I don't know that we need to go there, but I'm going to look now. E-bom's world.

Because this for a while was like, this was your YouTube. This was your meme station. This is where you went for all your stuff before any of those things. Right, right. And, uh, oh,

up, still there, still a thing. And, uh, oh, boy, they've really leaned into, these people are sure ugly. Really? Yeah. It's a lot of, like,

joky posts about weird-looking people. Was it always that? I don't know. Maybe it was. I don't remember that being, yeah. Very strange. All right, we are going to do some news here. Check this out. There's a dog sitter.

This is pretty gnarly in this story. Yeah. A dog sitter films explicit only fans' content in her client's homes, raising privacy concerns. So they hire this lady. You're a dog sitter. Yep, I am. I stay at your house while you're out of town.

I take care of your dogs. everything's good. And then they came home and found out she's been filming scenes for her only fans at her house. When Amanda Journey LeBlanc hired somebody to come into her home and look after her dog, she never expected to see her bathroom floor and swimming pool in the background of an explicit video posted on an adult's only website. Can you imagine? It'd be crazy. I would be a little shocked too.

How would you find out? I guess this may get into how she found out, but that's the weird part. Exactly. It's like, all right, let's, let's see how plausible the story is. It says she booked the dog sitter on several occasions over the summer when she and her husband were out for the day. She said the dogs were happy and the person was reliable. A few weeks ago, George LeBlanc came across a video of the dog sitter on social media advertising an account on OnlyFans. So that's how she found it. Subscription website is mainly for porn.

She realized immediately it was recorded in her house because her bathroom is covered in distinctly patterned. Tile. Georgie LeBlanc then paid $7.99 for a month's subscription to the dog sitters pays where she discovered the explicit content. Can I just point out to this article on Canada's cbcbc.ca. Every, every sentence, Georgie LeBlanc, Georgie LeBlanc, Georgie LeBlanc, Georgery LeBlanc, instead of just, you know, usually they say, then LeBlanc discover the video, then LeBlanc paid $7.99, but they really enjoy typing,

Georgie LeBunk. George Lee Leblum. Why'd they keep doing that? You're right, all the way down. Yeah. Yeah, there's not a part of this where her whole name isn't. It's almost like they're like,

we're not really doxing her, but we want you to remember her full name. Just remember, it's a fun name to type. Georgie LeBlanc. Georgie Leblanc. She says that she's not a prude, in fact, it was quoted as saying, anyone can do whatever they want.

I don't care. People have to make money. She says, but, quote, I don't want it done in my home. well I agree dude don't film your only only fans bullshit in my house while you're supposed to be watching my dog like that seems

like a breach that is a it is yeah not cool not cool at all and you know what it's not cool if you used it for anything that wasn't tied to you watching my dogs if it wasn't explicitly about the dogs I don't care if you filmed

you know if Brian if I didn't know Brian if I didn't know Brian and he's like I'm gonna build that Millennium Falcon Lego project in your basement every day and not tell you no yeah i mean i'd let him because i know him but if i didn't know him i wouldn't right oh really that's like doing the youtube video where i build a lego millennium falcon you'd have an issue with that if yeah if i knew you i wouldn't but if i know you now if you said hey scott i'm going to be doing this that's fine but if i didn't know who you were and you were supposed to watch my dogs

but you did this other stuff in the basement i'd be pissed so all right so let's say so it doesn't even seem like it's a video the video is the issue for you it's doing stuff that you wouldn't So if I come over and watch your dog, your dog's outside running around the backyard, pooping while they're doing that, I pull out a New York Times and I start doing the crossword puzzle. That isn't, that's not a problem. That's not an issue. Okay. But if you were like, like, using.

If I was videoing myself on YouTube doing the crossword puzzle. Well, that would also be weird, but I probably wouldn't have that big a deal with that. You're trying to figure out where the line is, but if I bring over some Legos and put them together while your dog is pooping in the backyard? I guess maybe it's not as good of a. of an example because legos can be small right i think it's doing something uh i mean i think it just comes right down to doing something explicit or um this isn't illegal but it's obviously it's it's explicit and it's frowned upon but you wouldn't want me coming over and snorting up you know doing a bump of cocaine while i'm in your house yeah i guess you're poop yeah exactly exactly or okay a better

example is this. If you had an account that was, I don't know, I'm trying to think like a cooking show that you do. You do cooking on YouTube. Yeah. Yeah. And you come to do dog sitting, but while I'm gone, you just raid the kitchen for ingredients and do one of your cooking episodes and set up cameras and do your whole thing. That would annoy me. If I brought over my own ingredients, ingredients though, would it? It still would because it'd be a thing I'd expect you to ask about or mention that i'll by the way i'll be filming my youtube thing here which it already sounds ridiculous who would do this as a dog watch exactly why aren't you doing in your own house yeah that's just weird if i if i that's where i'm trying to figure out where the line is is the

line doing something it really just comes down to boy it's really just a levels thing because again if it was if i was doing a crossword puzzle or bringing over a small box of legos and putting that together while I sit outside and watch your dog's poop. Not a big deal. But there is a level that jumps, even if it's fully dressed, making pot of chili in your kitchen and I bring over all my ingredients, that does feel like it does cross the line. I can't figure out how to describe what the line is that's been crossed. It's probably the filming part. Like, that's the line for me.

because even if you're just making selfies in the living room. Okay, so if I brought over, and I wasn't filming it, but I brought over my ingredients to make a pot of chili while I was watching your dogs. Oh, that's fine. That wouldn't bother me because you're just cooking food. So that's where the line is. Yeah, the line is you're filming it and without permission. And so you're walking around with a camera doing selfies and you're getting pictures I have on the wall,

other personal items in the house, whatever. Like you just didn't have, it just feels like a violation to be doing that. Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, it makes sense because. you know, without OnlyFans, she's just peeing in the bathroom. Without the cameras, without the cameras, it's just what you normally do in the bathroom anyway.

Well, except for this bit where she says Oh, what was there? Well, let me tell you this lady, if you didn't get it the first time, her name. She didn't involve the dog, I hope. No, no, no, no, none of that. Okay, good. But Jordie LeBlanc, full name, said she was astounded to find videos of the dog sitter,

M-baiting in her bathroom. Oh. And then posing nude out by the pool. so oh okay yeah but it's just taking a pee who cares well some people are into it i guess but i don't know i would hate this i'd be mad make sure to put that in your request to sit sit for the dog yeah by the way would you mind would you mind asking your husband because he's a subscriber and just you know ask him if it's cool yeah mr mr gerald leblanc told me it was fine if i did this dang i didn't realize that you're the side of your bath is

like the perfect height. But maybe clean it a little more. Anyway, thanks for let me watch your dogs. Well, I will now. Oh, yeah. I'm clearing the house out and have a Walter White over with the fog machine. You'll be getting that business, yeah. Here's another story.

A villager's son. Yes, there are still villages. A villager. Yeah. I assume you could do, like, there are places in England. You could call it a village still, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, for sure.

It just always throws me. It always feels so old school. A villager. The village. It says Villagesnews.com. There's really a site. Villages news.

So only news from villages. Yep. Only fans of villages. Only fans. Dot villager.com. A villager's son sentenced for jiggling his genitals at a hospital. I don't know if this, why this is such a big deal, but we'll find out. A villager's son has been sentenced for jiggling.

This is their quote. His genitalia at the entrance of the U. This is part of the problem is at the entrance of the U.S. health the villages hospital it's called uf health dash the villages hospital uh it's a weird place in florida it's a place called the villages by the way i just found out okay so it's like a it's like del boca vista phase two kind of place exactly it's like exactly oh where do you live we live in the villages i get it uh darren malinski age 52 pled no contest this week to uh sumner county court to a charge of exposure of his sexual organs.

He was sentenced to 19 days in jail with credit for 19 days already served, placed on probation for 11 months in order to perform 20 hours of community service. He had been discharged from the hospital but was also wearing his gown when he was standing at the entrance at about 6.30 a.m. on January 26th, according to the arrest report from the Sumner County Sheriff's Office, he lifted his gown, showed his penis and testicles, and was asked, sorry, and was asking passerbyes to check out quote, his balls.

He was seeking opinions as to whether they appeared to be swollen. A woman who was visiting the hospital was among those who Melinsky exposed himself, according to the report. Some of the witness interviewed by the deputy said Malinsky, who stands 5 foot, 7 inches tall and weighs 230 pounds, was

jiggling his genitals when he lifted the gown. I don't know what people do. Why do you think people do this? What do you think? I don't want to just say, I don't like blanket like mental illness across the board, right? Sometimes people are just freaking off their, they're just, I don't know what's going on. Why would you ever do that?

We have a family member who does in-home health visits for clients, medical in-home health visits, and they have a client that is like an exhibitionist. So she will show up to the house and he will have a row. that and nothing on underneath it and be sitting in the chair like yeah look at this and he's an older guy right he's an older guy yep so and he may be in a mental state where this is just who he is now right he just he just was really proud of his junk and wants the world to see it so i don't know i've told the story before but when taylor was a year and a half old very young maybe two she was on my shoulders and the reason that's important is because i just remember her she would hold

She would hold my ears, but not tight when we would do this. She would just kind of loosely have my ears cup. That's how she held on. And I used to love that. But we went to this thing for Christmas to get, to bring stuff to people in this care home. And mostly it's just older people, not a lot of family, kind of a lower end one.

So it was like a charity thing we were doing and we were trying to teach the kids. This is important to do. And, you know, here are these old people. And it was all fine. The person we went in there to help was nice and everything was good. But then we hear down the hallway. We hear this. you took my pen like someone yelling and her hands this is the part i remember so vividly her

her little two-year-old hands just started to squeeze my ears because she she tensed up right because she was like what is this oh geez yeah she's only two she doesn't know what's going on like fighter flight like basically like yeah what's going on yep and that and then what we are witness what we ended up being witness to was this woman who was screaming about her pen in the hall and it got worse and got closer you could hear her going my effing pen you took my effing pen. She was cussing and she comes into the room that we're in and it would have been okay if she was just screaming about a pen probably, but she was also topless and probably 75 to 80 something there. Yeah, okay. All right. Just whipping around with, you know, letting gravity do its business and

just going, my pen, my pen. And she was like, they took my effing pen. They did it again. I'm never going to see that pen again. She's just screaming about this pen. and Taylor's hands just tighter and tighter on my ears and I had to take her off and hold her and get the F out of there, but that was quite the experience. It can happen. All right, we're going to take a break when we come back. Science with Bobby, Frank and Burger.

Science. So sit still, relax, put your hands in your lap, and wait for the science as we play a song. Brian, what are we playing? One of my favorite pieces of trivia is that guy that you play every time Bobby comes on, the guy who recorded the spoken parts for She Blaine me with science by Thomas Dolby is a

Dr. Angus Pike. I think it was the if it wasn't the guy in the audio, it's the guy in the video. I think it's both. I think Angus Pike is the name of the guy who, uh, she blinded me with science. I always assumed it was Thomas Dolby doing the voice. I had no

idea. No, no. No, it's Angus Pike. Wow. But that's not who I'm playing now. I'm playing a guy named Bobby Halverson. Um, Bobby Halverson's promo image that I've got. It's great. It's just Timson on the couch playing Sega or something, or he's playing something with a black controller. So it might be a newer Xbox, but it's great.

Listen, if you're a fan of Sparkle Horse or The Delgado's or Doves, you're going to like this. This guy's from Sacramento, California. He's got a brand new single called Jump Start. Here is Bobby Halverson. I am just passing through, I never wanted to leave. I never wanted to leave. I need something new, if only just for a moment, so I can learn what I need

And all my thoughts are looking for a buyer To jump start my dreams I know How'd I end up here? I know it isn't for me I know it isn't for me I know it isn't for me Now I've lost a year

Looking for my esteem And other people to please And all my thoughts run through an amplifier They jump-star My dream Who's gonna promise me that I'll be fine Who's gonna promise me that I'll be fine Who's gonna promise me that I'll be fine

Who's gonna promise me that I'll be fine No, I And all my thoughts are looking for a buyer to jump and start my dreams, my dreams, Who's going to promise me that I'll be fine Who's going to promise me that I'll be fine Who's going to promise me that I'll be fine Just going to promise me that I'll be fine

This going to promise me that I'll be fine We're going to promise me that I'll be fine We're going to promise me that They're gonna promise me that I'll be fine He's gonna promise me that I'll be fine He's gonna promise me that I'll be fine He's gonna promise me that I'll be fine They're gonna promise me that

Stomp a stringy jackrabble. It's a fine barn, but sure t'ers no pool, English. Tell us again who that was. Sure, that's Bobby Halverson. I just put a photo of him. This is the promo photo that they gave me from the label, which is just great. It's just him sitting on a couch playing Xbox or something.

He's got a brand new album coming out on December 1 called I'm Already Gone on George Records. This is the lead single from the album called Jump Start and really, really like, I like the vibe and the vibe of the song fits. Like, it's great. Bobby Halverson and Jump Start. You know what I like about this photo, this feels like every apartment I had in my 20s. Like it kind of blank walls, a little bit of something up there, but we really don't work that hard. One little piece of art back there. hand me down couch is like your grandma's couch here's the pinch and zoomer in me though

I need to know what controller this is because that does not look normal what is that let me blow it up here more it could be a steam um like the steam controller maybe it might be a pro controller for nintendo oh could be yep black ones i have those that is a weird that is a weird controller i can't tell what that is yeah the shoulder buttons are the same color like they're all everything's black on that controller so it's hard to get an idea of what uh yeah what it is That's really weird. Anyway. Brian would know, but I wouldn't bother him right now.

He's sick. No, he's sick as a dog. Sick as a dog. Sick as a dog. All right. Who now? Bobby now. That's who.

Bobby now. Just did an instance episode with Bobby. Had a great time. And also banged her heads against the wall and arrayed a little bit. He and I. But not today. Today we have him on. Science.

Bob is hungry. And the soup looks good. Yes, that's right. Bobby is hungry. The soup looks good. And he looks good. And he looks good. Look at this guy.

Oh, man. Hubba, hubba. You know, we get, Bobby, I got to tell you this. I've never told you this before. When we do the science segment and now the instance videos, people write in and say, oh, that Bobby, he's a good, he's a looker. Like sometimes. They don't say that. They do say that.

I'm not kidding. They're like, they love your hair. They think he's good looking. One guy on YouTube said, oh, I look forward to when I see Bobby's. face, or something like that. So I'm just saying, you've got a, but you got a real Riz going. Your Riz is, you're going to make me blush. Yeah.

I like to see what you did. Hey, and A plus use of Gen Alpha sling. Well, I'm working on it. You know, I want the kids to relate, you know. That's right. I don't want them to think of it. Scott's nothing if he's not skibbitty toilet. Wait, that makes me terrible.

I really, I've heard that the, the number one way to get people in the, you know, middle age people to relate with with young people is to use the slang that they use really that is always that is always going to work they're never going to think that that's really well yeah yeah never going to think that that's cringe or what is it

Ohio Ohio right or Skibbitty toilet is supposed to be a bad thing right it's supposed to be oh is it really well Skibbitty toilet is the today on TMS old people talk about young people stuff yeah well isn't that every day on TMS Good point

But no Skivity Toilet Isn't that the YouTube series And Skivety is just a word That doesn't really mean anything It is So there's this YouTube series Where they took

It's a Machinima web series That was originally taken From like Half-Life 2 engine stuff I think mainly it was made in What's his name The guy that made the game Named after Craig's World No

Oh yeah Yeah I know you're talking about Whatever it is Oh EBM No Greg's That's The guy went on to make, like, rust.

I can't remember the name of the dude. Someone in the chat's going to say this name. I'd be embarrassed that I forgot. But anyway, but I thought it took on a meaning. Like, let's see. Let's find it here. From half-lif-z-z-a-z-z-a-bab. Battle Royale Arms race.

Okay. History. Okay. Reception, influence, popularity. Here we go. Nope, I can't find it. I thought it had a meaning. I guess I don't know nothing about what I thought.

Sorry, you know. You're right, though. It is that dude. I just don't know. It's definitely that series. That for sure. And it's usually Agent What's his name from Half-Life who's in the toilet, this guy. What was his name?

Yes. Freaking, whatever it is. I forgot his name. Anyway, G-Man, the G-Man. That's who it is from Half-Life. And it's all very weird. And I get why kids, they love this brain-wrot meme stuff. I totally get it.

But I thought when they said, oh, man, you're so skibbitty toilet. I thought that was bad. But I guess Ohio is the thing, which I also don't think is fair young kids, fellow kids. I think Ohio's fine. There's lots of nice places in Ohio. It's not all J.D. Vance over there. They got Columbus. Well, that's what the youngs are growing up with is Ohio being cringy, right?

That's true, I guess. But they haven't been, if they think that, they need to go to Columbus and spend a weekend near the school, the college, go to the cartoon museum, hang out there the restaurants are great that is a cool town I could live in Columbus is Columbus is definitely like one of these nice islands of niceness

yeah yeah which I'm giving I'm making it sound like I don't like Ohio I've got family in Ohio I go up there all the time Cincinnati's a great city um they feel by Cleveland apology to Ohio

how about Cleveland Cleveland okay or are we not pro Cleveland these days never been isn't there some kind of Hall of Fame in Cleveland? Yes. There's a rock and roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

Is there a sports? There's no sports Hall of Fame in Cleveland, but there's, it's like Canton, I think, has the baseball one and there might be two.

Is there a football one in Ohio? Baseball Hall of Fame is in George, or sorry, Cooperstown, New York. Cooperstown. What's in Canton then? There's a,

there's something there, right? Yeah. It's not football. Let's see. Yeah. can't find it well we've learned nothing today so far so here's what we're going to learn we're going to have bobby teaches what is it pro football oh no no well is this in canton

maybe it's the yeah pro football hall of fame is in canton ohio they said propofal like pro pro propofall the pro hypnol uh wow skibbidi indeed um all right bobby uh you you probably brought something that we can really put in our brains and use scientifically speaking but what we talking about today. Yeah, well, this week is a full week of the kids being off school here. This is the first week that they've done that, though. You were talking about that. Yeah, usually Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, right? Yeah, this is the first week they've taken a whole week, which gives us sort of like just a fall break, which makes it so I don't have to get up really early to get the kids ready for school this all week. So that's nice for me. But because of that,

I'm taking it easy this week. We're going to be traveling with some family. doing the Thanksgiving thing, and I thought, why don't we just have a nice, a nice relaxed little, uh, sciencey segment about Thanksgiving. So I was going to talk about turkey and meat that you're going to eat. Okay. Yeah. Who I hope you're going to talk about the, the triptophan. If it's a true, is it false, the whole thing there. That's a myth. Yeah, yes. That's exactly what I was going to start with, actually. So a lot of people you know about triptophan, about turkey making you sleepy, right? Uh-huh. There was a whole Seinfeld episode. about it.

They talked about triptophan making you sleepy. Now that's weird because I can't remember. I see Seinfeld every day.

I can't think of that episode. That's not the one where they have the mutton and the napkins. I don't remember it very well.

I just know that and so having said that maybe it's another TV show but I'm pretty sure it was Seinfeld. They were talking about Triptofan

and I think it was George and what was his wife? It was one of those. It was in that segment of it was that era had to do with her

so it was later later seasons I remember one where there at Thanksgiving with somebody's grandma and they talked about

the pony and Jerry's like ponies are stupid basically and she says I had pony my mother had pony we love ponies or whatever

and then there was talk that maybe he blamed his comments on something that was in the food maybe that was the trip to fan thing I don't remember

anyway we got people saying it was the toys episode playing with girlfriend's toys. Oh, he would go to this, he was, there he was dating somebody who had a bunch of really awesome action figures and he just wanted to play with him and she wouldn't let him. Right. So he got them to pass out so he could play with the toys.

Yeah. Oh, that's it. There was the whole plan and Turkey had triptophan in it so you need to have a big turkey meal so that she could go to sleep and you could play with the toys. Brian nailed it. That's exactly what it was. I forgot about the turkey part. I just remember the action figures.

Anyway. That's right. That's great. So tryptophan obviously is in the pop culture as a thing that that makes you sleepy. But I know many of you, Brian, obviously, you have as well because you were about to spill the beans, which would have been fine to say that it's a... I said, is it real or fake? I was leaving it open. Right, right.

But it's a myth. It's a myth. And I know a lot of people have heard that it's a myth about tryptophan and turkey making you sleepy. But why do we think that triptophan does make you sleepy if it doesn't? and why, you know, what does it actually do? And what's actually causing you to get sleepy when you eat a big Thanksgiving dinner? I have a theory. Can I share my theory? And then you can tell me if I'm totally wrong? Of course. So I don't think Triptophan is it because I've read enough about it to know that it isn't.

But I think what happens is twofold. One is there is a lot of stress, at least if you're, especially if you're hosting, but there's a lot of stress that sort of leads up to the event. there's preparation there's cooking that turkey in advance there's making sure there's plenty for however many people are coming there's people whose schedules got changed they're like oh shoot they're not coming now like there's all of that going on so when you finally sit down and you finally eat and you combine that with well now I'm full unsatiated I've eaten too much I can't have any more mashed potatoes that's just a normal meal where you're just like oh I got to go sit down somewhere but then add to that that you kind of at the end of the stress part you just hit a couch football's on, they're going on

about, well, he hasn't thrown a touchdown in 14 years, well, let's see tonight. And you're just like, that's funny that you mentioned. I think it's just the eating too much. Like, too much food. Body needs to, body's got to work on it. You rest. I got this.

Your body says, I'm going to work out all this food. You sit it out. So who's closer to the bone there? What do you think? Well, it's definitely, it's definitely the eating. And I'm going to get into that in a second. But I hadn't considered the stress

leading up to because you're right after you eat it's kind of like the event's over and you kind of like ah and you wind down and you sit down on the couch and you fall asleep yeah that's when we talk to the family that's a very stressful time well I was just going to say you know

maybe a dinner when they shut up and they're eating food that's actually but maybe a dinner when you fall asleep yeah when you fall asleep after the meal that's your excuse to not have to engage right

yeah see for for me it's worrying about Uncle Joel saying stuff at the table. And if he didn't, and somehow he escaped his insanity, then you're relieved from that, too. Plus, he always naps, right? I'm not worried about Joel in the corner because he's out after dinner. So, yeah, I don't know why that is. I always feel a sense of relief when the dinner's over. Not that I'm stressed the whole time, but I just feel like, all right, we got through it. We're good now. Goodbye, everyone. Or, you know, this just means people will start filtering out, and they have a second family they got to go to. And this guy's sleeping. This kid needs a nap.

And pretty soon you're home alone and you're like, all right, I'm just going to think of the next two weeks of leftovers. It's going to be fantastic. But it is the car. It's eating a ton, but in particular carbs, there's tons of carbs with Thanksgiving dinner, right? No. And so the common wisdom is that what happens is you eat all those carbs. You can put a bunch of sugars in your bloodstream and then your body, your glucose levels go up and your body has to produce a ton of insulin. to deal with that, right?

Because what does insulin do? Insulin takes the sugars and helps transport it into the cells. It's to be used by the cells, right? Mm-hmm. But afterwards, your blood sugar kind of plummets because your body will over, I don't know if it's technically overreacting, but it's mounting quite a response, right, because of all the intake of carbs. So, so tons of insulin gets squirted out into your bloodstream and, and, and then, and then all of that stuff drops immediately afterwards and you have sort of a crash.

So that's what causes that. But I do like this, this relief from stress because that's, I bet you that contributes to a lot of people. Yeah, it won't be universal, like in the way that people. Certainly for Tina and Kim and, you know, whoever's involved with all of the pressure and of, of, getting all the food together and getting the house ready and all that it's certainly not going to be everyone but it like like the idea of triptophan and its myths are that it's everyone right you eat turkey you're going to be tired is the myth yeah but but unlike the myth come from have you ever thought about that i don't know i just assume people went oh i'm so tired after it must be in this turkey bam it's stuck and everybody's said it's my guess the triptophan triptophan is an amino acid um and amino acids are the are the building block of proteins. You put amino acids together in different like Lego chunks and different combinations and you get different proteins that all do different things, you know. But tryptophan doesn't have anything directly to do with sleep, but melatonin does. And tryptophan is part of a chain that gets turned into. So tryptophan goes through a couple of steps and then gets converted by your can be turned to. your body turned by your body into serotonin and then serotonin is then turned into melatonin and melatonin um doesn't directly cause you to be sleepy but kind of like you know people take melatonin to

help them sleep but it's not that melatonin is making you sleep what it's doing is it's a hormone that tells your body um it regulates your circadian rhythm it tells your body hey it's time to you know start calming down down regulate a lot of the daytime processes in your body like digestion and and other home use you know like just things that it's i've heard i read it one time described to like either putting on a dimmer switch for your body or um or or or a melatonin will um i don't know it's like singing yourself your body a lullaby saying you know trying to help ease you into the time when you're supposed to be sleeping Gotcha.

But tryptophan is part of that chain of leading up to making melatonin. And so I think that that's where that started, you know, people thinking, oh, triptophan leads to melatonin, so it must cause drowsiness. But, like, what you all, Turkey doesn't have a particularly high amount of triptophan in it in the first place. It's pork has more triptophan than turkey. Oh, really? That's cool. I didn't know that.

Yeah. I mean, I don't know what it would have a difference it would have made. Soybeans have like double the, the triptophan and turkey. Like all kinds of foods have triptophan in it. It's not unique to turkey. Yeah. Parmesan cheese has triptophan in it. Crazy.

Okay. You know, I'm pretty tired after. But if you put parmesan cheese on top of your carboloaded spaghetti, then there you go. Yeah. Or you have some parmesan-crusted soybeans. You're going to be out like, uh, The thing is, you got to rewrite the side of them. Yeah, right.

Well, so you never hear people with that myth in the regular part of the year going, oh, that turkey sandwich really put me to sleep. They only talk about it in context with family get-togethers, celebrations like Thanksgiving or depending on where you live, perhaps it's different. But that's probably contributes to this, right? Because if we were eating turkey every day, it was like the mainstay meat, everyone ate it all the time, the way we do beef, like hamburgers and stuff. If it was just turkey all the time, I don't know.

whatever to take and hold, because it just wouldn't hold water. You'd just be like, well, yeah. Yeah, I think you're totally right about that. The science behind triptophan leading to melatonin combined with the fact that we eat it at, we tend to eat turkey. As a culture here in the U.S., we tend to eat turkey around big feasting events, you know? Yeah. So I think you're totally right about that.

But yeah, triptophan does not, turkey doesn't make you sleepy. The other thing I have about turkey is white meat versus dark. meat. You know the difference? I want, just that I prefer one over the other, but... I mean, you know the difference, like, what it is. I know the one's light meat, one's dark meat. And that you... It's supposed to be leaner, obviously, but yeah.

White meat is less fatty, yeah, than dark meat. But why does it even exist in the first place? Why does a turkey or a chicken? Those are muscles that get used more often make the dark meat. Like, like leg muscles and stuff. Yeah. The fact that they're in use more makes them dark. So if you have a particularly athletic turkey, does that mean that it's like all white?

I want a turkey that did not skip leg day. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and I like dark meat a lot because it's got more flavor because of the more fat and everything. But I get why that would be you don't want a turkey that works out too hard because then you're going to get all white meat, I guess. Well, it's a little bit more complicated than that. It's a little bit more complicated than that. So the white meat versus the dark meat have to do with fast twitch versus slow.

twitch muscle fibers. So fast twitch muscle fibers are in the white meat. That's a muscle fiber that uses, that is used for like sudden quick movements. It uses, it's an anaerobic

energy, it uses an anaerobic energy source, so it doesn't need oxygen to do it. But it's also a less efficient way to do it. So the energy currency in your body is ATP, I won't go into details about it all but just know that

the fast twitch muscles, the white meat muscles they use anaerobic energy production sources and that produces 2 ATP so you can think about it like two energy per glucose molecule but slow twitch muscles use aerobic

energy sources which produce way more 30 to 38 ATP 30 to 38 energy units per glucose just because it uses oxygen but the slow twitch muscle fibers are kind of like what you were saying Brian is that it's used for slower

sustained activity so it's actually not necessarily that it's more athletic but like maybe it's the turkeys that that are marathon runners they're the ones that are going to be going to have the big beefy

dark meat legs I would watch a turkey do a do a 10k or whatever I'd watch that yeah sure sure yeah whole bunch of it afterwards all that great dark oh dude the dark meat is the darkest image in my head of a turkey wearing like a like a sweat headband where's that from do you know what I'm talking about yeah I totally know it's a cartoon you've got like uh and I think even like socks and tennis shoes or something right yeah yeah what is that hold on now you've wrote you've You've cracked open an egg in my head. I'm Googling it.

I'm not even going to bother. Thanksgiving headband. Let's see. I can't find anything. And the reason, so I'll keep going until you find it. Feel free to interrupt me. He's like on the run or something from getting his head cut off because he doesn't want to be a turkey dinner. There's a lot of clip art images that come up when you search for cartoon turkey with a sweatband.

Maybe it's just that. Maybe it's just that. Because you have a lot of Thanksgiving. fun runs. Oh, fun runs, right. So, yeah, those fun runs would use that photo or that image is there. And little kids make this I'm showing here, this image. They make that, but that's

not what you mean. It's like a, I know what you mean. It's a turkey. It's a turkey. Yeah, the headband is on the turkey, not the turkey on your headband. And it may even have like leg warmers and wrist warmers or something. Like, there's something there. Oh, that's going to bug me all day. Yeah. It's going to bug me all day.

So the reason that turkeys and chicken both have dark meat in their legs and their thighs is because they don't fly really. Oh, because that's right, all the movements up here in the wings. Yeah, so they don't need quick or the only time that they need

to use their wings, which are supported by the breast muscles, the only times they need to use those is if they need to quickly get out of danger or move or jump up to something, you know, like, so that's the fast twitch muscles. That's the only reason why that happens. And so they just need,

They need a long-term sustained energy sources in the muscles that they do use to get around, which is their legs. And so, yeah. So humans don't have, because the next natural question for all of our cannibal listeners is do humans have white and dark meat? But we don't because ours mammals tend to, because then you might also think, why don't we talk about white and dark meat in things like cows and. Oh, yeah, that's a good point. And mammals have a more like even distribution. We still have slow and fast twitch muscle fibers, but they're sort of like distributed evenly or more evenly between inside all the muscles.

Yeah. So like when you're when I was when your marathon training and stuff like that, there's different things you can do to support and build fast and slow twitch muscles and stuff like that. Because you need both of them to do different things. it's just uh you know you need them for different different times different reasons and different activities yeah different turkey based activities right i love this this is a perfect time to bring this up because we got the thanksgiving and all you people like in canada going we already had ours and people in the rest of the world going we don't do thanksgiving tough shit we're doing it here we got we got we got the we got the

thanksgiving we got the turkey the family the getting tired after the football all of it all right And now, you know, when Uncle Al says, oh, I don't want to have any more turkey, I don't want to fall asleep in front of the TV, you can say, well, then just quit eating everything else, Al. Yeah, maybe slow down on all the other things. Slow down on the stuffing and the gravy, Al. Yeah, and Uncle Joel. So you guys are both, are you guys both dark meat fans? Big time. Oh, for sure.

Yeah. I'll eat white meat and the gravy will help, right? Gravy on that's good. It helps soft enough. For the sandwiches, I think I prefer the light meat. because you know you put on your cheese and your lettuce and tomato and stuff and it and it provides enough moisture that the you know that the drier the drier tendencies of the white meat get covered up but if i'm just eating it alone yeah give me all the dark meat yeah well the white meat can definitely

be moist you just have to just most people i think overcooked turkey right yeah that's true i'm a big fan of um slow smoked turkey uh we had a smoked turkey last year unbelievable my uh My father-in-law made it, and that was really good. Yeah. It's somehow that process keeps it juicy, and also you can, you know, just smother it in, like, Cajun butter or whatever you want to kind of add some. Oh, man, I need to text him as soon as I get done with you guys and say, hey, you're smoking a turkey this year, right? Yeah. Yeah.

But if you'd like my family growing up, no one ever did that kind of thing. It was always just the basic kind of cook it in the oven, and it was always dry. Not like, you know, not Christmas vacation, like, kind of dry. But like, like, just not what it could have been. And I always thought, well, that's just how turkey is. And then I had a real proper turkey at one point and went, oh, okay. These are real dumb birds, too. So to all our vegans and vegetarians out there, at least we're eating a really stupid bird.

It's not contributing to anything. They are mean. They are mean. At least wild turkeys are. I mean, all the turkeys that are just farm raised, I'm sure. Yeah. Sorry to them, but wild turkeys are mean. I haven't looked at the chat because I'm afraid of a couple of our vegan friends

because I just know how it'll be in there. So that's tucked away off to the side. I don't know what's being said about turkeys or meat or the horrible work we're doing or who's called PETA and when they're knocking at my door, any of these things. All right. Bobby, this is great. I love it. Food-based science.

There's that and more happening all the time on all-around science, your podcast. Tell folks what's coming up on that thing. well all around science is our weekly podcast where we talk about science me and my co-host mora uh she just started uh a uh a two part series that we're going to be doing and it just came out today on the drake equation which is a bunch of physicists and mathematicians back in i think the i don't know the 60s or something like that all of them got together and they asked themselves the question people were thinking about about aliens yeah and intelligent life right and they started they asked themselves a question i wonder how likely it is that we would ever get

that like like if aliens exist out there shouldn't we somehow be receiving signals from them like like the if because the ideas we're starting to build that the universe is vast and maybe infinite and so they started to think if there's like an infinite number of civilizations out there shouldn't we be being contacted by them right yeah so physicists and mathematicians said well we're not just going to sit and say shouldn't this be happening they said let's let's calculate how likely do we think it actually is that we should be if if they exist that we should be getting contacted by them and so they sat down and created an equation called the Drake equation that that is kind of like a thought experiment of how if we were to figure out the likelihood that we would ever get contacted by an intelligent civilization anyone that exists how likely we were to figure out the likelihood that we would ever get contacted by an intelligent civilization of anyone that exists how likely we were. would that be? And so there's a whole

the equation itself has many different parts and lots of different questions to ask that are really interesting to dig into and that's what we started this week. So if you're interested in that kind of thing, you should check it out. All around science. Drake equation. It's I didn't when he's not beefing with

the other rapper. Yeah. He's busy working on science. He was a mathematician. That's impressive. Well, that's great. Also, don't forget about our monthly episode of The Instance, we just put one up on Saturday. And this episode that we just did was a fine quality episode.

I agree. When I say fine, I was trying to compare it to wine. That makes it sound like it's like, it's okay. It's adequate. Yeah, it's adequate. It's okay.

No, it was, if I do say so myself, it was a, that was a really good episode. I agree. I really enjoyed it. It was a banger. Go check it out.

That's at the instance over on frogpants.com. slash instance and if you haven't been listening we're now like what have we done this for three months now i think it's three episodes this is number four four geez yeah we also did um we've been on a bunch of interstitial stuff too so if you don't have the new feed or you have the old feed which technically is dead because of multiple hosting changes uh go get the new feed frogpants dot com slash instance bobby frankenberger it's great having you on have a happy thanksgiving you guys as well and stay out of trouble why won't this let me hang up on you.

There we go. Cool. Nice, nice, nice. Okay, excellent. Well done. That's always fun having him on. Let's get out of here before we do. A couple of notes about today.

Core is usually on Thursdays, but because of the holiday, we're going to do a Q&A episode today at noon. Now, you might say, wait, what about the Monday show? That's usually at noon. That's being pushed today to four. So we have noon for Core, Monday show at four. It rhymes. That's how you remember it. Wow.

That's how you remember it. Yeah, it's a perfect. Yeah, way to do it. I feel good about that. So go check it out. It's going to be fun. We've got a ton of questions. I've been just backlogged forever for that show.

And we're looking forward to digging into those. We're going to be doing it live. So frogpants. com, TV for all the live shows today. Brian, anything else you got before we get out? Got nothing else. Oot. Excellent.

May your Monday be full of joy, I guess. I don't know what that means. Your tears, too. Yeah, and everyone listening. You know what? Mondays, we all act like they suck. Garfield hates him, whatever. Let's change it.

I love Mondays. We got Donaway. We got Bobby sometimes. We got Steven Schlecker other times. We got half-asses. I mean, what's wrong with Monday? Yeah, nothing is the answer. So enjoy it while you hear this song, Brian has prepared.

I do. This is dedication time. This came from Zoe and Jackie Hearn. They say, hi, guys. Alan Roth was born on November 24th, 1954. in Montreal, Canada, and moved around the U.S. a few times. Finally, settling in Portland, Oregon this last Sunday, would have been his 70th birthday. He's greatly missed by hundreds of good friends from across the globe who miss him dearly and

considered him family. Alan's dear friend Jackie Hearn has done a lot of work going through years of DMs, trying to find clues to the perfect song as a dedication, but between us, we're still not sure which song would be best. I would appreciate help with this, please, Brian, many, many things. Well, I'm happy to help because Alan and I, I wab at magic, and I talked music a lot via emails back when he would attend all of the coverthons, all the 24-hour coverthons. And he would send in requests and, you know, tell me what he liked and didn't like. And he was a fan of David Bowie and particularly requested the song for me once, Young Americans by Dave. David Bowie. So that is what we're going to play in dedication to Wabbit. It may have been 70, but he was a, he was a young American.

I sure felt like it. Young Canadian. Oh, yeah, young Canadian, American, Portlandian at the end, I suppose. But he was just a wonderful dude. And we all miss him every day. He was in every chat you opened every time. Absolutely was. Yeah, fantastic, fantastic guy. Let's get to this version right here.

It's by Durand Jones and the indications from a. single they released in 2020. Here is Young Americans. Well, they poured in his behind the bridge. He lays her down. She frowns. Gee, my life's a funny thing. Am I still too young? He kissed her then and there.

She took his ring and took his babies. It took him in minutes. It took her nowhere. Heaven knows she'd have taken anything but... All night. She was the younger man. American, she was a young American. She was a young American, all right. She was a young American, scanning up through the picture window, she finds a slinky vagabond.

He calls as he passes the poor Mustang, but heaven forbid should take anything, but the freak and the type of nothing. He misses his step And cusses his hand But showing nothing He swoos like a song She cries Where eyes off our first Heroes go

All right She wants the young American You're the American She wants the young Americans All right She wants the young American All the way from a Washington Bradwinner bags off the bathroom floor

We live for just these 20 years Do we have to die for 50 more All right He wants a young American A young American Young American All right He wants the young American

Do you remember your president Nixon? Do you remember the bills you have to pay or even yesterday? Have you been un-american with you and your eyes sing for set about leather, leather everywhere, and not a mid-left from the ghetto? Oh, would you carry a razor in case, just in case of depression? Sit on your hands on the buses, survivors, flushing out all of the Afro-sheet. Now ain't that close to love Well, now ain't that close to love

No, baby Well, it ain't that bobby doll Her heart's been broken Just like you had All night You are the old American You're gonna take it I'm American

You're not American All night You are the young American There ain't a building There ain't a hunch The prince got a caddy And the ladies got a praise The blast of respect

And one's got the sword Man's got cramps And look at your hands Hey I got to lose They're gone I got to sweep And you got the beat hands

There are a man who can say no more And there are a woman I guess I can't In at your hand And there are a child I got all without your And there are a pin

That will up Before they die Ain't you cry that we still got faces? Ain't there one damn song that can make me break down and cry? All night, I want the old American. Yes, I do. All night, I want the old American.

I want the young American All night I want the young American All night I want the young American Oh, looks like someone just got their ears caught in the audio cookie jar. It's okay. You can have another, and another after that, at frogpants.com.

We've heard enough about bleasplazin, him, ham already. Get to the bloody point!
