The morning stream. I live. I love. I slay. And I am content. Hey, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream. It's the morning stream for Thursday, February 6th. It is 2025. And I'm Scott. And that's Brian. Hi, Brian. Hello, Scott. We missed an opportunity yesterday. We had a 2-5-25 yesterday. Oh, we really did. Look at that.

2-5-25. Not that I would know what to do with that information, but it was there. It just makes you happy. The numerology of it makes you happy. It does. There's something about, you know, those patterns that I think most people, you know, we have a thing with that. I don't know. I don't know what that is.

Somebody could tell us, maybe next or two Mondays from now, Bobby can tell us the science of patterns. there we go yeah why we like those number patterns and letter patterns and when things are when you have a nice array of things uh distributed evenly and all that stuff speaking of whom he'll be here tomorrow on tms friday briefly with his daughter uh they're going to do a little uh you know shadowing at home sort of thing with her dad and uh you're going to call in do a little science with us it's going to be fun i look forward to it so bobby if you're listening tell your daughter we're stoked we're excited about it but don't but don't tell her too stoke because I don't want her to get nervous.

You know what I mean? I want her to feel comfortable here. It's a safe place. It's a place where, you know, nobody's going to go, Ew, a girl! We're not going to do that. No, I'm not going to say anything that embarrasses her or, you know, makes her feel nervous about being here, any of that stuff.

Nope, none of that. So, Bobby says what time? Probably, like, 945, I think. Something like that. It'll be after trivia and stuff. yeah last 15 minutes or so other thing something like that uh let's get to the uh what's going on today we got a few things to get through so um i got a message an email from matt boge boge he even he even put pronunciation and i included it and then we forgot yeah it's fantastic greetings birra and

sophapia beeria beeria beeria and sopapia i'm currently in ixtapa Anyway, it says it's pronounced as it spelled. This is, and it's in Zawatinejo, Mexico. Oh, is that for town familiar to everybody? Shashank Redemption, baby. That's right. I find a rock that has no earthly reason of being there. That's right.

Well, that was still in America, but yeah. Let's see. Let's see. Where are we here? I lost that place. The rock has no business being there. That was still in the States. Remember?

Oh, that's right. That's right. Yeah, because then you had to find, right. Got out and that's where it told him where they fell. Yeah. And then he went and found him on the boat. Yeah. Find a white man who does not belong there is what it should have said, because he does not

belong there. Right. Find the only tall white man in Mexico. Anyway, he says, I'm in these two beautiful towns an hour and a half northwest of Alcapulco for the next two weeks on vacation and wanted to give you an interesting fact about one of them. In the movie, Shashank Redd, Andy Dufrain, tells Red that he would love to live in Zaywantaneho when he gets out. And when he eventually escapes, he comes to live down here, where in the end of the movie, he is scraping the bottom. bottom of a boat on a beach. The location that that is filmed in is actually not Z Wantonejo. There's no N by the way. Well, well, there's one end, not two. It's Z Watanayo.

Well, I'm never going there. It'll be fine. Now you're wainting your wantonahoe. He goes on to say, but the supposed beach where they were, uh, was renamed in the late 1990s to Shawshank Beach. Thanks guys. Oh, that's so cool. Isn't that cool? That's awesome. Yeah, no idea. That's awesome. Very cool. Indeed. I would like, I wouldn't mind going to Shawshank Beach. I would hang out there. Oh, it would be so cool. Yeah. Do you have to bring a rock hammer? No, but you need you need a man who knows how to get things. If you can do that. Then the rock hammer will come after that. You got to get the guy first, then you get the rock hammer. First the guy, then the rock hammer. That's right. Anyway, that's awesome. And I hope you have fun. Two weeks on vacation.

That sounds rad. No kidding. Oh, man. Never had two weeks vacation on my life or it's a straight two weeks. Never happened. Yeah, I did. We went to Australia. We did two weeks in Australia. But, uh, I can't think of the last, that, that may have been the last time I had two weeks off. When was that back in? That was in, I'll tell you, that was, that was in 2001 in October, October 11th was one of our flights. It was one month after 9-11. And so the, like, everything was heightened security. It was crazy.

And as a matter of fact, the actual, I think, think i'll have to confirm this with tina whose birthday it is today by the way happy birthday tina yeah um the um the day that would have been the 11th was actually we missed it because of the time change going 24 hour like basically we traveled over that day when we went to uh australia nice we lost we lost that day two weeks that's how long you were there two yes they were there for two weeks exactly uh anyway thanks Thanks, Matt. Brian,

have a little short quiz for you. Do you want to have a quiz? Sure, of course. Absolutely. Here's a brief intro. Very brief. That's all it was. That's all I'm getting.

That's all you're going to get. So what this is is a little bit of an audio quiz, and this came together because I was doing some research for something else, totally unrelated. And I thought, hey, I can have some fun with Brian tomorrow. So I'm going to use this. So here's the deal. I'm going to play a very brief clip for each of these.

And you have to tell me as quick as you can, what film these are from title of the film it's just audio from movies most of them I think you're going to get just fine because they're fairly well known they're well known yeah they're okay but some of the fun of this is

there's so many of them that it may throw you so we'll see how it goes okay all right cool start with this one rog's good easy one yes that is uh citizen cane very nice horse and wells how about this one the greatest trick the devil ever pulled usual suspect Casuz-A.

Nice, uh, nicely done. Wait. Yeah. I wrote K-Pax. Why did I do that? That is cut. That's, because that's also the dude. I mean, the same dude from K-Pax.

Yeah, I don't know why I did that. I knew it was, uh, usual suspect. Uh, here's another one. Well, do you bunker. That's, uh, which one was that? That was the first one. It was just dirty hairy. Straight dirty hairy.

So far? So good. It's the, it's the one that I always get the one confused of, uh, make my day, which was the Deadpool. Is that right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. One of the Dirty Harry films, yeah. The later one, right?

Yeah. Sequel? Yeah. Or maybe three of them? I can't remember. I've never seen anybody but the first one, I've seen the first one and that's it. And I think I've seen it. Yeah, same here.

Twice maybe, once on my own, once on film sack. And I think that's it. We need all these on film sack. Feels like we need every dirty Harry movie on film set. Did we not do the first one? I thought we did. We did the first one, but we need every other dirty hairy. All right.

I'm in. Let's do it. Yeah. How about this one? This should be easy. moments that we lost. Oh, that's a Blade Runner, Roy Batty. Very nice.

Talking about like tears in rain. That's right. Ruggler-Hauer's greatest moment in film. Yep. Not that I don't like him in other stuff. He's great. We love him. No, he's great.

Here's one for you. I love the smell of night pump in the morning. That is your da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-apocalypse. Nicely done. How about this one? The made for speed. That's your top gun. Nicely done.

It is your top gun. gun so far you're killing it you're not going to lose here sudden impact thank you rufus that's the one yeah sudden impact what is okay the dirty hairy movie where he says go ahead punk making oh it was sudden impact i thought they meant the movie sudden impact about the no no the armageddon sister movie that's what i was thinking yeah uh here's this one oh deep impact that's right there's no sudden in that yeah suddenly a deep impact yeah deadpool though that can throw you if you're not careful Yeah. All right.

Here's this one. You make me want to be a better man. That's your Jack Nicholson in, hold on a second. You make me want to be a better man. That's not as good as it. Is it as good as it? No, no, it's not. Hold on a second.

Hold on. I'm trying to remember who he's saying it to. Is it as good as it gets? Correct. Okay. Why am I trying to talk myself out of the right answer? I don't know. That's a tricky one, though.

I mean, it could be any number of movies. It felt like it was an older one like, you know, pre-witches of Eastwick or Pritzie's Honor or something. But, yeah. Sure. All right, here's one. Nobody puts baby in a corner. That's your dirty dancing. I always mix it up with the movie.

Donnie Darko. No. Nobody puts bunny in the corner. What am I thinking of? I thinking of the Clint Eastwood directed boxing movie with Lutzerbeek. Oh, yes, a million-dollar baby, Hillary Swank. Yeah, so when someone says that line, I think of that movie. Because of the corner, like the corner of the boxing ring.

I love it. I don't know why I do it, but I do it every time. Even when I heard it just now, I just think of it. All right, here's one for you. I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way. That's Jessica Rabbit, and who framed Roger Rabbit? Nicely done.

How about this one? It's an easy one. I'll have what she's having. That's, boy, perfect timing right before Super Bowl. Sunday when Harry met Sally and they're supposed to do some sort of reunion Meg Ryan Billy Crystal for that thing. I think that ads already out, isn't it? It's a Maynays ad. Oh, isn't it already out? Oh, really? I haven't seen it. I think so. It looks like she's putting mayonnaise on bread. I saw this very briefly and she does the whole thing and he's all

uncomfortable and then a lady says, I'll have what she's having. But instead of it being like some 50-year-old, you know, mom, some hottie. That was Meathead's mom. That was Meathead's mom. director Meathead Mike No Oh I want to call Mike

Mike Stivick Because that was his name On all the family Son of creator Of the other thing With Dick Van Dyke Rob Reiner Rob Reiner

Thank you Yes Yeah Um Okay How about this one As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster

Easy Gangston It's your Leota Ray Leota At the beginning of Goodfellas Very nice I bet this one A boy's best friend is his mother.

That's a psycho. That's Norman Bates. Very first psycho, yep. Here's one for you. A movie I didn't see until recently, the Sandlot. Yeah, it's a great movie. It is a great movie. All right, here's another.

That the father of Christ compels you. I need an old priest and a young priest for the Exorcist. Nicely done. You'll probably get this one too. Just a flesh wound. Oh, that's Amani Python and the Holy Grail. Yep, very good. I can make sure I got the right one there.

Yeah, they all kind of blend. They all have great quotes. How's this one? I know Kung Fu. That's Keanu and the Matrix. Very good. Very good. How about this one? I drink your more milkshake.

And there will be milkshake. I'm in the mood. I'm in the mood for that movie. What? Love that movie. Where's my boy? I've lost my... Oh, here you are. Here he is.

The riddler. He's right here. All right. Here's this. I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore. It's Peter. Well, the movie's the network. The actor is Peter.

Not Scullari. No. Yeah. Peter. Peter... Peter... Not fond, huh? No.

A famous old actor. Been around forever. Finch. Thank you, James. Is that it? Finch? All right. Here's an easy one. And beyond. Wait, say that one, play one more again?

And beyond. Oh, and beyond. That's your Buzz Light here, a toy story. I may have cut that one down to try to trick you a little bit. That's a good, yeah, because I thought he was saying, NBI. Yeah. Like, go sign an NBI. All right. Final one, too easy.

It's all too easy, clearly. You've got them all, but here's the final one. What's in the box? Oh, yes. seven and seven in seven in the middle of it that's right

yeah we don't you know the 90s was real big on having like numbers for letters and some video games do it in the in the aughts but we don't really do it anymore not so much in movies yeah

I think fan four stick four really yeah the last ought movie that I think that that I remember seeing that in where they put a four in for the A in Fantastic Four

I kind of I mean I don't it's not a big deal but I just sort of miss it. I miss the stupid. It's just stupid. That's why I like it. It is really stupid. Yeah, but I do miss it too. Yeah, because it's just kind of dumb and I like dumb stuff. I think somebody is a joke. Like, you know, this would be a perfect Seth Rogen movie or Jet Appetow or Farrelly Brothers should have it as the letter, number one, as the letter I in their movie so that, you know, dedicate this is the first movie. I like it. Yeah. Yeah. And then when you do a second one,

you got to figure out how to get that too in there. Or two more. somehow? I don't know. Did they do with Megan? Was it a three or was it just three lines? I thought it was just three lines and not a three in the Megan. Good point. Let's find out. And I know the sequel just got a little teaser. It is a three. It is a three. Oh, really? Oh, what it's written out, it is. Yeah. In the logo, it's the three horizontal lines. It's the it's the hamburger menu, as they call it.

Oh, yeah. So I guess they had to, yeah, there's no searchability. if you did she model three is that way i saw the movie i can't remember why the three would be relevant in a i do not remember the first movie i don't remember there is a new trailer though for the new one so i'm i really like the first one i had a great time to teaser yeah yeah i thought it was fun i thought it i thought it out chuckyed chucky if you know what i mean did yes exactly um just the weird uh uncanny valley face uh on the on the body that moves just fine but the face just sits there. Yeah, yeah, it worked. I liked it. Yeah. Okay, one more thing. I don't have this guy's name and I feel bad. I wish I would have held on to this, but I just didn't think about it when

he sent it and then I lost it. But it was a text from somebody in Canada, and he may not have left his name. But we were talking about Peach Tree Street and Circle and all that stuff. Yeah, Peach Tree Circle Street or whatever it was that Redfragel said the library is on. Yeah. And we were talking about how that's like crazy down there and why is it that way. But then we, you know, she's like, it's not that crazy and then other people are like uh martin new king junior this and then the everything well i found i think something that beats all of that through this text and it is this image i'll put it up for everyone to see i love it this is in canada somewhere where off of highway seven the streets are called the street is literally called that street the other street

this street and then at the corner of this and that it is called this and that street yeah that and the other street that's freaking amazing they almost look are Those mobile homes, because the length and the way they're arranged, or is that, maybe it's not. Maybe they're just long homes next to each other, but. I think they look like, it's probably a trailer, trailer community. It kind of does look like, yeah. They might be the ones that are stationary and don't go anywhere, but. Yeah, yeah, like when you just put down routes, as opposed to like a campground or something.

Yeah, my guess is they're like, uh. You have rounded roofs, maybe not. Yeah, usually those have flat roofs instead of. Oh, yeah, they have a, they definitely have a, uh, point telling them, don't they? That could just be the design, I suppose. Just manufactured homes as, yeah. When I was in Mississippi, we had these ones that look a lot like

this. We'd call them shotgun houses. And the reason you call them that is you could open the front door, shoot a shotgun, it would go all the way to the back door. Right, right. And that's probably what these are like, I'm guessing. They probably are. But there you go. I'd love to live on like, I don't know, probably that street. Which of the three would you like? Would you like

the other? I think the other's not bad. Yeah, I do the other street. Yeah, I live on 322, the other street. Plus the other street. The other street looks like nice beachfront kind of almost. There's some water here. I don't know what water body this is. It could be a dirty river, but.

There's a neighborhood that I really hate when I have to go into for Ubering. Over, it's not too far from me in like Louisville or Westminster or something, but it's around 67th and 67th Avenue. but every street that comes off of it and it curves and goes around and so it's like 67th avenue has a jut a cul-de-sac that comes off of it called 67th place and then a 67th way and a 67th circle and and then another 67th avenue that comes off of 67th avenue and then that changes names when you turn off of it it is so it's it's it's hilarious you know I want to shoot a video going through there about all the 67s in here I wonder if that's a place

where, like, door-dashers get lost a lot and put it to the wrong door. I bet it totally is. I mean, you know, the maps seem to work just fine as far as getting me right to the person that I'm going to, but you have to rely on, okay, I'm going three more turns than I'm turning left. You can't look at street signs. You just basically have to say, it's the third left that I can make is the right one. Yeah.

Plus, you have, like, I don't know what it is these days, but satellite tolerances are not exact sometimes, like, you end up with, like, a... Yeah. 30 foot difference and so you could conceivably in a neighborhood like that you could really screw up and go to the wrong 67 somewhere and just drop stuff off if you're going purely by your map and your pen

and everything you know yeah well anyway that's cool so if you live on other or any of these kind of things up there we'd love to hear from you and also that guy I'd love to say your name I don't have it so thank you for sending that though map yeah thank you for that all right let's get to some news it's time for news

yeah where do we do the news we do it right here It's time for the news brought to you by. All Around Science, a fantastic podcast by our own Bobby Frankenberger and Mora each week tackling the science topics you want to hear. Get the show and all the places you get podcasts as well as all around science.com. Nice. Go check it out, you guys. Great podcast. A good listen, no matter who you are, where you are.

Exactly. Let's go to China for this story. This story is all about China's first corgi police dog. It's really good because he can get under all those other, like, you know, those low-hanging areas. He can get into a bathroom stall if he needs to. Yeah, he's super-mobile. You like a corgi if somebody said, hey, want a corgi dog? Would you take it?

Corgi is one of the few small dogs that I would like. I'm not a small dog person. I like a dog that you can hug. Yeah. And not, yeah. And also small dogs always seem to have this Napoleon complex where they feel like they've got to be a little bit more aggressive. because of their size. Not a fan.

Not a fan of that. Had our share of those, but I prefer a big dog, too. I'm with you. But a corgi is, they're just so damn sweet. I would happily take a corgi. Yeah, they're cute. They seem a little less out of their minds than the other. They do.

They're more mellow. For the small dog, they are one of the more mellow ones for sure. Yeah. I think I'd do it. If somebody said, hey, here's a corgi, I'd probably do it. Yeah. Also because they're expensive if you go buy them. Like a pure break choice.

Yeah. Three grand or something like that. Get one of the queens. Used corgis. I've got some used corgis for sale. That's right. Now that I'm dead. Take my corgis.

At Craigslist. They ever say where those dogs ended up? They were pretty prominent now when we don't see them anymore. And do you think they... They probably went to who's still... Which son is still in... Well, obviously Prince Charles. Maybe they went to Prince Charles or King Charles.

King Charles gets the corgis. I just give him to the grandkids. That's what I'd do. Yeah. This one is just adorable as heck, though, the one in this photo. Oh, that's a Chinese one, yeah. Article, yeah. Let me pull him up.

Yeah, he is cute. Look at him, guys. Look at that little guy. Super cute. Anyway, he lost his bonus over workplace conduct. This isn't actually a nice story about him. Licking his nuts. Yeah, no nut licking.

Despite the misdemeanors, Fuge, Zhao, Zhao, I don't know how he said. Fugai. Fugai, probably. FU. Z-A-I. F-U-Z-A-I. That's right. Was honored for his exceptional service in 2024 as an explosives detection dog. I'll freaking love that. Sweet, yeah. You were right about the size. He just, he can get in these little places where the bombs are. Yeah, like you send in the floater, basically. Says he received a lunar New Year gift package, including gourmet pet treats. China's first ever Corgi Police dog has become an internet sensation for both his achievements and his recent run of trouble at work.

The small-determined canine officer lost his urine bonus for sleeping on the job and urinating in his food bowl. Oh, man. You don't poo where you eat. You don't pee where you eat. Oh, this got me kicked out of the house once.

Don't do this. Don't pee in your ball. It says, it sparked wide, they should have said barked. Anyway, sparking widespread amusement and sympathy on Chinese social media. According to domestic media, Corgi joined the Weifeng Public Security Bureau in Shengdong province as a reserve explosives detection dog in January of 2024 when he was just four months old. Just a wee puppy. Just a wee little pup. Despite his diminutive size, the now 18-month-old dog stood out for his exceptional talent in detecting explosives, winning over his trainers and the public alike. But lucky boy graduated to become a fully qualified speech, or sorry, police dog a little bit later. That was a in October. Everything was going great until he peed in his bowl. Now he's in trouble.

It was all fine until then. Yeah. Yeah. Now, why I have two China stories in a row, I don't know. This was not on purpose. Oh, funny. Yeah. But you're all going to have to deal with two of these today.

Sorry. Deal with it, folks. It's just the way it is. China's hosting something kind of cool. I would go to this if I could. They're hosting the world's first foot race between humans and robots. Humans versus robots. Yeah.

Wow. I kind of like this. Okay. I would watch this. In the race to build the first humanoid robots, or the best, rather, China is quite literally ahead of the pack. Oh, blah, blah, blah.

As the South China Morning Post reports, the Beijing Economic Technological Development Area, or E-Town, is hosting 12,000 humans and humanoid robots for more than 20 companies in a half-marathon race coming this April. What are you going to watch this on something like a life? I want to see this, yeah.

Yeah. I just want to see the. robots, like, fall over and, like, keep their legs and still going, like, er, er, er, uh, or the more horrifying result, where they beat everybody and humans lose completely. Let's see, 13 miles

roughly, robotic competitors, both cannot have wheels and must stand between 1.5 and 6.5 feet tall. They can be as short as a foot and a half tall. That's great. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, kind of want to see that. So, Furby, right along with you. Yeah. Right along one of those

giant Star Wars battle droids is basically what these are like. Yes. Right. Exactly. In a statement, E-Town added, Roger, Roger. I don't think I like this E-Town business. No, you know, it's funny. There's a show that was recorded here in Boulder every week called E-Town

for economy or E, like green E, you know, use electrical as opposed to gas and stuff like that. And it was the first place I ever saw or heard of the bare naked ladies

they came down before, like, their first album had just come out and they performed at E-Town, and so I got to see them really early on. And it was run by a couple named Nick and Helen Forster, who pushed all these natural products in the commercial breaks, like Tom's of Maine toothpaste. And Helen Forster's job was to warm up the crowd before the show and get audio levels from everybody. So I would always laugh and I would always impersonate. her you know afterwards or before the show when no one's looking to to my friends and it would basically be like all right everybody applaud and i'm gesturing the the push away and then the

bring it on and then the push away and then the bring it on and the push away and yeah she's a human applause signs what she is she's the human applause sign well the the uh gong show applause meter kind of thing but uh anyway those those shows are great you can find them online old e town shows There's great indie bands and stuff on there. Wow, I never even heard of that before. Yeah, I installed their, God, what was it? This was when you did, before wireless networks, I installed their wired network, which was a token ring.

Token ring, baby. Yeah, where basically it was like the coax cable going all around the office. You had to have an end cap stopper on one thing and every, you know. It was the worst. Troubleshooting those sucked because if one went down, Everyone went down. Exactly. It's like a chain of Christmas bulbs.

Like you don't know which one is causing the break, but it takes down the entire network. Yeah, I worked for a company who made token ring cables, Terminators, and token ring. That's what it was you put at the end of it. Yeah. What was the, there was something else in there we sold. I can't remember what it was called. It was like a router, but not really a router. Absolutely horrible.

Splitters. And then this, if a splitter went bad, it didn't matter where the splitter was, the entire network down. So bad. Yeah. It was horrible. Terrible. I'm glad we got past that because it sucked.

Let's see. This is the first race ever. Oh, this is one of the rules. Competing robots must have a humanoid appearance and mechanical structure capable of bipedal walking or running movements. So they have to be humanish. It can't be just like a refrigerator

with, you know, wheels on it. Obviously no wheels because they said no wheels. Can't be four-legged like the bomb dogs or whatever those things are called. Right. None of that. It has to be two legs. Two legs running like a person. this is key.

Anyway, this will be the first race in history pitting bipedal robots against bipedal humans as opposed to the time we did quad petal robots against quad petal humans. Right, exactly. Fun same petal. I want to watch this. I totally do.

This would be great if hopefully they're going to have something on YouTube, online you can stream it or at least watch it after the fact. Yeah. They've done this before like one-on-one stuff. They even talk about it here. They have this, let's see, the last fall bipedal robot named Tangong, which means heavenly place, jumped into Beijing's Yizhong half marathon toward its end. It only ran about 100 meters.

It wasn't that fast. Got a medal because it crossed the finish line, participation trophy, basically. But that's it. That's as close as we've gotten to this. This is like a full-on 13-miler. No last second come in. No just showing the robot for a second. Run the whole time.

Here's my prediction. Humans will win, but the robots will be freakishly better at this than they've ever been. I think so, too. Yeah. Yeah, I think the human will be the first one to cross the finish line, but I think there will be robots that cross the finish line well before the final human crosses the finish line. That's good, yeah. I think that's true.

They will not be all robots at the end. That's a good point. Right. And that should be enough for us to go, yee, a little bit. Yeah, exactly. Just a little bit. Just a teeny bit. That person cheated.

Hey, cheated. I will now kill him. He started running before that gun went off. I have no conscience. I will murder him. Beep, bo, beep. You made the mistake of putting part of the race course over crosswalks. I cannot see crosswalks.

Yeah. Well, if it streams or something, we could, maybe we'll watch part of it. We'll see. Yeah, yeah, it'll be great. Happens in April. Maybe we'll be in Vegas. I don't know. Oh, yeah, right.

That would be awesome. That would be cool, wouldn't it? All right, here's a story about a family. They found a 525 pound bear in a crawl space underneath their home. It somehow survived the Eat and Fire there in L.A., one of those fires. Specifically, the Eaton Fire. This is pretty crazy. So the bear, to get away from the fire, went and hitting their crawl space.

Yeah, or crawl space, yeah. Because I guess they don't really have base. I know there's some basements in L.A., but it's very rare, right? Yeah, yeah. No basements in Louisiana. but basements in some basements in L.A. Yeah, I don't know what the, I don't know what the, I never really understood how that works. So here, tons of basements. Everyone's got one. Yeah, yeah.

Colorado, tons of basements, I assume. Tons of basements, yeah. Go back east, hit and miss, depending on what state you're in. Water table issues. Like, it's, um, the reason they don't have them and why the graves are above ground in Louisiana, it's because the water tank. Yeah, that one, that one was always obvious to me because I was just like, oh yeah, of course not. And Kim's, Kim's hometown, the, all the she lives in Mississippi or lived in Mississippi but this little tiny hometown all the graves are in these mausoleum style things and nobody if you had a basement you were just asking for trouble yeah just predict that it's going to flood you're just going to have a flood deal with it yeah but see here's Matt Johnson and my brother would confirm I was just going to say this Arizona almost no basements there's hardly any basements that's not a water table issue and this feels like Arizona you'd want a cool basement to be in to be the coolest part of the house yeah I sometimes just think is there a cult aspect to this I don't know about like

who settled what part of the country Matthew Johnson says flash floods in Arizona so same reason. Oh, that's interesting. Hmm. Huh. You know, now that I think about it, there are parts of this valley I'm in that are prone to flash floods when they get them. They're rare, but when

they happen in Lehigh, they discourage they discourage basements in that basin there. So maybe that's all it is. Maybe. You know, whenever I hear flash floods, the first thing that comes to mind is the Universal Studios tram ride where they stop at this little village

and you're just sitting there and then all of a sudden gallons and gallons of water come racing at the tram. It looks like it's going to wash over the tram. That is to be what, like, if somebody says Flash Flood, that's the first thing I visualize right there.

I love that as a kid. Go in there and seeing that. Although I quickly got replaced by seeing the cast of the A-Team filming a scene in Universal Studios a lot. That's cool. It was cool. It was a ways off, but I could see Mr. T's Hope, Mohawk, that dumb jacket that the colonel wore.

Sure. What's his name? Yeah, what's his name from Star Trek wearing his flight jacket stuff? Yeah. Murdoch. Mad I, Mad I Murdoch, but what was he in Star Trek? He was. He was.

He was Berkeley. That's it. Yeah, Berkeley. Yeah, Lieutenant Broccoli. Yep. Lieutenant Broccoli. Anyway, where was I? Oh, back to the bear.

Let's get to the bear. Yeah, the bear. Oh, yeah, the bear. So here's what happened. He and his family, this guy named Sam, returned to their Al-Tadina home after recently being forced to evacuate due to the eaten fire. Fortunately, their home was saved,

but it came with a furry friend. A massive 525-pound bear took shelter from the fires and a cozy crawl space underneath their home. This must have been a hell of a thing to find. Good Lord. God. Yeah, no kidding. This isn't the first encounter

what the homeowners have had with this particular bear, who's always been known as Barry. Berry. Well, it's spelled like beerie. What a great name for a bear in the neighborhood. Barry. Yeah, Barry. Spelled like a bear with a why.

Yeah, yeah. Dumb. He's very, he looks a little bear-e. It's what little kids do when they name their cats and dogs. It's like, I want a kitty. It's like, all right, fine, we'll name a kitty. Yeah. I'll get to tell you a funny story this morning.

We have Phoebe and Van with us for a couple of days while Taylor's in Arizona, speaking of Arizona. And last night, everything's fine. This slept great, no issues. This morning, Phoebe comes in, and I'm just getting ready. And she goes, pops. I go, what? I didn't say it like that. I just go, what's up?

And she goes, frozen. And I said, you're cold? Come here. I put a blanket on you or something. She goes, no, frozen. And I'm like, I don't know what you're saying to me. What do you need? she goes, Elsa, Frozen.

I'm like, oh, shit. We got one of those in the family. We got a frozen freak. So I put her down and put the movie on. She watched Frozen this morning. Aw. Yeah. She loves it.

Loves it. And you know what? I'm just going to say. Does she sing Let It Go yet? Yes, all the time. And when they're singing it on screen, she's sitting there with a little blanket going. Oh, that's adorable as heck. But I got to say, as much heat as we all give the overexposure that that movie got.

And it did. The popularity was out of control. It was not intended for all audiences. I mean, it is, but it isn't. It's, you know, little girls really are the focus. Blah, blah, blah. All of that being said, if you really just sit and watch it, it's good. It's a good movie.

It is good. Yeah. It's a good one of those. And there's nothing wrong with it. It's just we have vilified it for being so freaking big and popular. It's the backlash against something that's just super popular. The kids absolutely loved it. And so we're like, oh, I had to watch this ad nauseum with my kids.

because as soon as it ended, they wanted me to start playing it again and blah, blah, blah. So, yeah. Yeah, no, it's a good one. That's good. It's no, look, I know I've more, I've ones I like more, but let me tell you this. Like, Stephanie just brought up Tangled, amazing movie. I love that movie. Tangled's amazing.

And the kids also love Tangled. So I feel like it's a universally liked movie. It's just that Tangled didn't get the same level of, like, over, fervor, excitement, just too much exposure. It didn't happen. And so nobody thinks of Tangled that way. But I promise you if it had, it would. That's how we do it. We vilify things that are too big.

That's how it works. Yeah. That Adele Dazim. Adele Dazim. She really belts it out. But am I wrong in thinking she's in uncut gems that I just rewatched? Do I have that wrong? It's somebody like that, a big Hollywood.

I might be thinking of the wicked lady from the stage stuff. Oh, yeah. Adina Menzel is in it. She is in that. Okay. She's his wife, and she's so good. I forgot how good she is in Uncut Gems, man. She just wanted to kick him in the nuts every time she saw.

I need to watch that movie again. It's just, it was so heavy and dark. It's like, all right. Heaviest, darkest, man. Yeah. I really like it, but it's same. You got to be in the right mood. Yeah, for sure.

Well, anyway, Barry, they have video of him crawling in there from their ring camera, so they knew it was going on. before. They didn't just like wake up and there was a bear over their face. Gotcha. They saw him crawling in there like, well, I guess we're going to have to deal with that when we go back. Yeah. At least he found a place to stay safe. That's good. Yeah. And it was happening as they were being told to evacuate. So they had to leave the animal. It says here, working on a plan to remove the animal when the eaten fire broke out. When the evacuation orders were lifted, utility workers came to try to get him out. And so he, the bear, they had to leave the bear there, which is scary because if the fire would, I mean, it would have been sad. They kill Barry. Nobody wants Barry to die. Oh, nobody wants that. No.

Hose Barry down with anti-flame-retardant foam. Do something like that. Right. All right, we got one last story. It's a baby shark story, Brian. Aw, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Yeah. Or if you're done away. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

Baby shark, do, do, do, do you go. He's sure of it. So we're going to let him have his way. Yep, yep, that in Reese's PCs. There's a mystery as a baby shark born with no male involvement. Oh, boy. I can't find the male shark who did this. How begins, folks.

The slow wiping out of the male. Yep. The male gender. I'm going to go, I'm going to march because of my gender's at stake here. Exactly, at risk, yeah. To quote Ian McComb, played by Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park, Life Finds Away. Thanks article for pointing that out. You could have just said as Dr. What was his name and thing? No, I can't do it. What was it? Seth Brindle? Seth Brindle.

You could have said anything and I would have gotten it, but they could have just said in the famous words of Jeff Goldblum, Life Finds Away. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, says there's certainly, that is certainly the case for the newest member of the Louisiana Aquarium, who was born with no male involvement. Uh, the swell shark pup named Yoko. The rest of the band's going to break up over this. They are. Yes, exactly. This is totally going to break up the sharks. That's a bummer. Let's see. Hatched in January from an egg

laying in a tank occupied by two female sharks, neither of whom had encountered a male in more than three years. So the shark ladies are like, wasn't me? Yoko's health is currently being closely monitored by staff at the Shreveport Aquarium. I've been there. That's a cool aquarium. Yeah.

I've been to the aquarium. I gambled in Shreveport on a boat. And to legally uh to legally make it a casino it has to be undocked for about a minute or five minutes or something yeah so everybody gets on and then they closed the doors for a little while and then they open the doors for two or three hours and then they closed the doors for a little while and then they got a bunch of those up and down the mississippi it was always funny to see him because yeah they would literally some of them wouldn't go anywhere like you say they would just undock didn't go anywhere yeah sit there get drunk right gamble like crazy right right dog

again and then somehow it's illegal again once they've docked so weird to me oh they did this with our crews so we were on the cruise ship they have a whole casino in the cruise ship yeah and while we're on open water or portions of it i couldn't tell if it was everything open water but portions of open water people are down there gambling playing all the games doing poker whatever and then as soon as it thing docked and i'd walk down by the atrium area there that whole thing's blocked off like a police Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it's basically when you're attached to a place that doesn't allow gambling, you can't have it on your boat because that's basically just a, the law extends onto the boat.

It's so funny. Pull out in the water for a minute, then you're all okay. It's so dumb. The things we do, the things we do as humans, the things we dance around. Exactly, the loopholes that we find and the fact that, you know, basically it's like, Like, the law knows that they're doing it. You know, every, ever the gaming, federal gaming commission knows that they're doing it. It's just like, nope, we're going to stand behind this law that they have to close their door and lift the drawbridge for five minutes.

And then once they put it back down, they're okay. Everything's, you know, they're able to do this. It's just silly. It is silly. Well, in this case of this, uh, this weird ass animal, the shark with no dad. Yep. Uh, baby daddy says they're monitoring him closely. They want to make sure he's okay, uh, for the president.

They are not available for visitors to see, so you can't go see this particular baby shark just yet. That'll make some kids unhappy, I suppose. They're not as cute as the one of the music video kids. It's just a... Also, I bet parents... Jeff looks like Jeff in Marvel Comics. I hear Jeff is currently bottom rung of Marvel rivals. Nobody's playing Jeff.

I've not played as Jeff. I think you play it for the novelty. Currently the second most... wait is that right now I looked yesterday it could be different today every day is different but I was looking at the steam charts

it's a great way to see who's playing what and it's counterstrikes number one always is usually second is Dota 2 and then other stuff right now two is rivals rivals is like holding the number 2 spot I've not played in weeks

I need to get back in there and play been a while too been so busy with them getting the pinball machine build 3D printing figuring all that stuff out I've got a couple of commission things through Uber into the mix, freelance. I just, I feel really crappy because the only game I've had time to play really is Snap. And I want to play something else.

Sure. Sometimes. It's just a matter like, I have a minute. I can play a game of Snap. I have a minute. I can't play a game of rivals. Right. You're not going to, yeah, you can't do it in a minute.

It's not going to happen. Exactly, exactly. Seems like they're getting a fantastic four. Maybe they already got them or they're coming. Yeah, they're coming. Yeah. I don't know if they're in there yet. But I saw the announcement video.

Yeah. Some of their outfits look like they matched in that trailer we saw, which makes me think they had early access to the trailer look. Probably. Because they want to sell some skins. That's what they want to do. Yeah. Sell some skins.

That's right, baby. Well, anyway, this Greg Barrett guy says, this is an incredible situation and shows the resilience of the shark species. He's the curator of all this. And then he says, it really proves that life finds a way, he says. anyway no additional comment at this time see they have a picture of this thing let's see I want to see this baby with no dad

baby shark well there you go oh they got some video even let's see here it's loading forever no ad loading never mind oh there he is oh he's cute he is he's got a

I can't tell that's coloration or is that coming from shadows and stuff that's that's coloration that's some specklage let's see here So normally, okay, when eggs are produced, the cell division process that leaves the egg with half the parent organism's genetic information. Small snails known as polar babies are also created, also with half the female DNA. Normally it becomes the male's job to come in there and finish it up, right? But in this case, they have something what they're calling parathenogenesis, a rare form of...

Parthenogenesis. Parthenogenesis, a rare form of asexual reproduction. All right. I know that word because of the band Shriekback. Oh, do they have a song? I don't know about it. They do. It's called Nemesis.

It's one of the best post-punk. Oh, my God, what a great song. And the chorus goes, big black nemesis, Parthenogenesis, no one move a muscle till the dead come home. Oh, geez, that's cool. Yeah, that's great. It's awesome. I'd like to hear it.

You should hear it. It's a, you know, like if you, you know, like, if you, You like the cult and Gene loves Jezebel all from that era. I do. Then you'd love Shriek back nemesis. Those are all bands and groups that I do like. Yeah. Cool.

We're going to take a break. When we come back, my sister Wendy will be here. We got a follow on from something we talked about a while back about how we perceive time as adults. And she really liked this one and said, hey, let's use it. I said, okay, great. Let's do it. So that'll be here shortly before that, though, a song from Brian. Yeah, we'll go up to Northern California.

Was that supposed to be? Was that for us and not everyone to hear?

Did you not want everybody to know that you weren't peeing? I'm like a teacher that doesn't live in the school. You guys? I do go to the bathroom. That is weird. Well said. I love it. That is weird. Well, it's good to have you here. How the heck are you? You doing all right? Oh, doing good. Yeah. Oh, I forgot. I have a thing to play for you. Hold on. All right, lie down on the couch.

All right, lie down on the couch. Get ready. Let me just shake it up a little for Wendy. It's nice to have you here. We're pretty close to seeing each other in Arizona, you know. Yeah. We're going down there. It's going to be fun.

See the siblings. Everybody get to hang out a little bit, push mom around in some sort of wheeled device. That'll be fun. Yes, it'd be warm. Yeah? Can we not forget the warm part? Oh, yeah, it's going to be nice and warm. That's true.

Although it was 70 degrees here yesterday at one point. Whoa. 70. That's weird. I know. It was jacked up. That is not right. But then the wind blew real hard.

Some rain came and now it's down back to like the cold temperatures. So I don't know what's happening here. I can't explain. It's just like a little heat wave. 38 right now, high of 43. So fun. Anyway, that's enough of the weather. It's time for the real helpful stuff.

Wendy's a therapist. She helps people with real problems every day. And she comes on this show on Thursdays and does a little. little therapy Thursday segment with us usually it's an email and that is what today is it's a bit of a follow on uh to what we discussed before regarding our perception of time and how it changes as we get older that sort of stuff and wendy's like yeah let's do it and i said okay so i'm gonna read this wendy are you ready for this or do you want to set up anything for this no ready all right here we go to scott brian and wendy listening to tms 2714 you asked listeners to ride in if they had thoughts on

perception of time so here's mine when you are young your length of time to compare time with is short. So time seems longer. Each milestone that you're looking forward to, birthdays, the holidays, etc., are so far away that it's so special, you've only experienced them a few times. Easy, sorry, fast forward till now. I'm 47 with two teenage kids. School terms fly by. The office Christmas party is only 12 weeks away, and I feel like we've only had, sorry, we've only just had one not long, too long ago. This is because I have over 7,000 days of experiences to compare to just to in just to in just instead of just a few hundred like younger people i also feel anticipation may play a part in our brain the more we are looking forward to something

our perception of time slows because uh we can't wait for this special thing to happen a time doppler effect happens at the events speed as the event speed passed us uh and it's suddenly over and we have to wait another amount of time for it to happen again lastly on the flip side when we are not looking forward to something. It seems to get to us really quickly and drags out because we aren't enjoying it. Example, a work meeting. Happy, if you use my name, that's fine, he says. So we will call him Andrew Asher 77 from the future down under in Australia when we see him. He knows what the future looks like. I wish he was like five years in the future. I want to know what that looks like. Yeah. Wouldn't that be amazing?

Just four years. Four years of the future would be nice to see. Yeah, I'd like to know what's gone. 1,438 days. That's what I want to know. Do you have a countdown clock? I do have a friend who has a paper chains. Yeah, every day. It just removes a paper circle.

Oh, that's great. I love it. Yeah. That might be a good way of tracking it because you're trying to handle it day by day. That's a way to do it, I guess. Yeah, just keeps you in the moment. And maybe each paper, you have something written on it that's like. Laffination.

I don't know. I think like a thousand plus whole. advent calendar with little airplane bottles of booze would be just fine for me. There we go. I like that. That's a mentally healthy decision. Right? Right?

I think so. Just one little hit of cocaine per little door. You just open it up, snort it. Yeah, you actually even open the door with a little rolled up $20 bill and then. Oh, yeah. It's not even a door. It's just a little hole. Yeah.

You stick the thing in, snort it. You hope for the best and you walk away. You hope it's coke. Yeah. But you don't know. It could just be powder sugar. Could be anything. Well, these are terrible ideas and we love them.

But Wendy, let's talk about this. We talked about it a little bit before, but we didn't really get into the whole like, like I liked his description of this being a timed Doppler effect that can occur, especially as you get older. And it does make sense to me discussing that from the perspective of when you're a kid, you just have less, you know, two birthdays is your life when you're two. Right, exactly. that's you know you've basically got 600 days and two birthdays making making those up yeah which

really is it's that so everything will seem long to you then but when you're 70 you've had the 70 of those and then times 365 by 70 and now you're in nightmare land like and for me it's more the latter point that he makes about when you're anticipating something it time does feel like it goes slower because you're just sitting there waiting and waiting and waiting for for that time to come. Can't wait for the one week from today, the Captain American movie. Time is going so slow. But, you know, this other thing that I'm not in a hurry for, my God, that sure showed up quickly. Yeah, that meeting. You're avoiding. Exactly. And that's part of it, right? Because the kid only has the movie to look forward to

and none of this other stuff. Right. And none of the other stuff. Yeah. Well, okay, so I'm going to argue against the kids experience this differently now. I think that is just. changed since we were kids. So we'll get into that in a second. But let me just let me just give you the nerd words for what is actually happening. So it's the logarithmic time perception or proportional theory. That's what it's called. And it's the idea that we perceive time relative to the total amount of time we have already lived. So kind of what you guys were describing. So for a five year old, a year is 20% of their life. For a 50 year old, it's only 2% of their life. So as a result, each new year feels shorter in comparison to the total time already experienced.

So that's why it's the newness, right? So which also leads to this other explanation, which is just the novelty or, you know, effect. So as our perception of time is linked to how many new experiences or significant experiences that we encode in memory, so in childhood and when you're young, everything is novel. It's learning, traveling, meeting new people, learning new, sound, smells, tastes, right?

Everything is like this new, newer experience, right? So those periods feel longer in hindsight, and then as we age, you know, we have routines. Nothing is quite unique. And so time actually shrinks. And then here's where I think this theory explains, you know, why kids experience time going slower than adults. I think taxes probably does explain some of that too.

But it's so we process more information per unit, of time when we're young because our brains are absorbing and categorizing those new experiences has to do it rapidly right so and then you know it slows with age because we don't need to understand or file away all the new details because there's not that many and that can just feel like things go faster you know plus emotional stuff plus you know we are literally slower because our metabolism is slower um all those things so like okay Okay, so we'll get into how to counteract some of it if people want to, but I wanted to, I looked at a couple things to see if I could find the opposite because my children regularly talk about how fast time goes. And I'm like, what?

Yeah, so that seems unusual. You're supposed to not have that experience. It's supposed to be the opposite. Right. We're like, how was it January, you know, all that. And so I was looking to like why that might have changed or is it just my kids. Right. Turns out, it's, it's not, it's not that it's 100% like, here's all these studies showing it.

It's more like trying to understand what, what would happen using those same kind of theories, right? So take the modern, take your childhoods, right? You had to seek out, it took you a long time to find something entertaining or when you found it, you know, obviously had a really good time. But it wasn't all the time and it was, it required some seeking behavior, which meant you had to, be bored usually, right? So there's some kind of level of boredom and then seeking out the thing, whereas a lot of kids today, you'll ask them, they rarely experience boredom because it's just not necessary, right? And so they still do. But that boredom piece and sort of the slower form of experiencing new novel things feels like dragging time, right? Whereas there's, when

more sort of quick stuff that feels more adult-like in our experience, right? Sure. Sure. And then also just, you know, they're looking at adult-like content and information really early, right? So I had a long conversation with my college-age child last night about the current administration and the research he does. He's doing some research at the medical school here on accessibility and sports, and they had a big, you know, staff meeting. None of their work is federally funded, so it's not that there's a direct freeze on that. But a lot of their work is, hey, let's look at how, you know, this group of black kids in this city accesses athletics or doesn't. And suddenly they're like, do we have to only

research how sports affect white guys, right, for it to be acceptable? And then how are they going have to use language and and it's just such oh anyway i just want to scream i want to scream because it is so stupid and awful and he said you know his bosses and people he works with are all just these boring calm researchers are like flames coming out of their eyes and and how you know how tricky this is to navigate and he and he asked this question he said how do i balance my my sanity and this need to feel informed. And I'm just thinking back to when I was 19, did I once have to wonder if my sanity was at risk by doing or not doing something? It was full of the exploration stuff, of learning new things and being open to another thing. So that process is still in place for

everyone who's 19. The difference is they have adult content accessible constantly to them when they should be still engaging in, I wonder what a taco when Mexico tastes like, let's go, you know, like the adventure or the seeking out the new or the, or understanding something exists maybe for the first time. I think kids know so much, so much younger. It's like kind of think of it as like a compressing of childhood experiences so they can feel shorter.

Also, think about academic and social pressures. And, I mean, we should have a whole thing. it would be a therapy session for me to talk about travel sports and what that is doing to the American child. We'll have Dan on for that one too because he's in the thick of it. He has to go everywhere for his son who plays hockey constantly. So, yeah, it'd be great to get his opinion on that too. Yeah, and it's not small trips either.

It's not like, hey, two hours north. It's like, oh, it's like, all right, New Hampshire. Yeah. Now I'm going to go. They're like, well, we're going to go to the moon for this one. Kind of, yeah. Hopefully you can pay for it. It's crazy.

It's crazy. But if you think of what that does, you add any and all of it put together. There is a compression of childhood experiences. It's just done faster and they're exposed to more adult things quicker. You know, and, you know, I'll talk to a kid and they'll say whatever. And you're like, wait, well, you know words you shouldn't know, right? Right. Because.

Right. Yeah, it's stressful and it's, and it's whatever it is. Versus like, you know, I love this example. My mom, Scott, I don't know if you know the story, but my, the first time my mom had ever heard the word rape. She did not know what it meant. Oh, I can't remember this. She never seen it written.

Yeah, she was like 23 years old. Yeah. And it was in a newspaper she happened to see. Yep. And so she's had to ask around. And we're talking like, that would have been like six, late 50s, early 60s, right? Something like that. Yeah, right.

And so when did you guys know what the word, we're exposed to the word rape? Oh, gosh. I probably was 12, 11. Yeah. When was that movie with Jody Foster in the pinball machine? Yeah. Oh, man. So you learned early, er, right?

And you take kids today, they not only learn it earlier, they then know all about it and consent and like the level of adult. And this is an example of like, wow, this is like a good thing that kids are more prepared and understand the difficulties of life. but what that does do is means their actual innocent era is much shorter than it used to be, right? So time really has a, it plays tricks on us. I guess that's the point. And this is what our Australian friend is talking about is like it isn't as steady as you go

because it's the Doppler effect or, you know, whatever the physics of this is, it's ultimately we are unable to sort of, time doesn't feel the same, which is kind of fun. Because you're like, hey, Star Trek, what's up? Yeah. But you, but then we have the problem of not enough childhood can also be problematic, right? Yeah. And so a way to counterbalance this for kids would be just like obviously more structured, unstructured time, more play that is not endlessly entertaining in at their fingertips. So a little more novelty, a little more boredom.

Stuff they have to work for. A little bit of more effort. Yeah. board games or there's some thing we're trying to get to at the end of this hike, like a lake where we swim or something like this. It's not immediate, right? And then real-time balance. What is this outdoors do you speak of?

I don't want to frighten you, but you live in a really pretty great state for this, friend. Turns out, yeah. You're not right. And then the adult version of this to slow down the perception of time, because if I, you know, everyone's always saying things like, I cannot believe it's this month or I blinked in that one away. Now, let's be clear, January felt very slow to a lot of people, right?

That's because the novelty was coming every day and the doom and all the things, right? And so, and January is a slower sense of a month sort of generally. But ask anyone what December or if they have kids, what May feels like. And it's like you are constantly running and going and, you know, blink of a night. So what you can do to slow that down as an adult is actually to seek new experiences. So something you've never tried, you've never seen, it could be travel, it could be learning, maybe a new hobby or something. So looking for the novelty and not the cheap dopamine novelty. It's the novelty that is real life experience, not someone algorithmic.

That's a verb now. Sure is. the algorithmic did it to your inbox, right? But that you have sought out, like, on your own. Another thing is to practice mindfulness, right? To actually be in these moments that seem to fly by, they will go a lot slower if you are present. I try to do that, like where basically I'm saying, you know,

I'm on vacation and I remember what those are like. But no, I'll be on a trip and I'll say, oh, my gosh, you know, I always think about, oh, man, this is like the halfway point of the trip. I only have half as much time left instead of saying, no, this is, I'm three days into the trip. I'm really enjoying this. Let me think about how much I'm enjoying this and not think about how little time there is left. Right. Or anything like that where you spend more time thinking about, oh, my time doing this is almost up instead of just being in the moment saying, oh, no, this is great.

I enjoy it now. Yeah. Yeah. And that's a really good analogy. The being on a trip and thinking about ending is. is this version of, you know, our brains to operate well in human history to survive is to anticipate a future outcome that you can protect yourself for change, right? Like it's, let me warn you, this may be coming.

So it's natural for our brains to go to something to dread at the end. Yeah. Because we're, because we are preparing to survive that. But what we do is miss all the good, good stuff and then things just fly by. And we don't actually get the benefit of the vacation on like a cellular level. Maybe we get it because it's kind of fun. But we don't actually go into the moments and relax or enjoy that. I think a thing you could do.

And this is, I mean, you've heard this before, right? Where it's like, I can't wait for the next part of my life or the next step or the next thing. The next phase is. Yeah, because this hard thing will be over. And then you'll be in that next phase and go, oh, this is the next phase. Yeah, this wasn't as good as I expected. Can I get back to the last phase? Right.

Everybody wishes they could do that at least once, right? And so thinking in terms of, I just like this phrase of like, this is the good old days, right? Like right now is the best my knees are ever going to be the rest of my life. And so I really am like, when my knees do things well, I'm just like, you guys, good job. I try to really be like, this is the. moment of that this is the day, right? Not one day I'll look back at pictures of me right now and my kids right now and I will not believe that that was so long ago, right? But it's it's literally today. And so having a mental practice or mantra or even like just acknowledgement of like,

this is it. Taking a moment and really like letting whatever you're doing be absorbed. I find it tricks my brain into going like, oh, yeah, the future, these are the days, like that nostalgic look backwards, I can just create it right this minute and really appreciate this minute. So that, that tends to help me. Do you, do you regret your, all the basketball you played now because your knees are like paying for it these days? No, I didn't play hard enough that I hurt my knees. Oh, all right. So we just have, but back, I mean, here's the thing. Back in the day, there was, like, it was a lot of fun. And it wasn't like we were the champs. And they were, I played against really good people. A lot of people with knee braces, so it was, um, also we just, we just have soggy Johnson

knees is what we have. No, I have good knees. That's why I'm telling you. I appreciate them. Mine are, minor, minor garbage. I don't have good news. Yeah, well, well, and here's the thing is the, what, what an athlete now on a basketball team is expected to be doing versus then. Yeah, that's all changed. Right. Like, let's work out 85 times a week. And now kids, you just eat vegetables and supplements and then we're going to travel around the planet to play is like, how is this fun for anyone? They should also, they should

change the NBA just to be called like three point party or something. Because that's all it is. It's just who can make this men in the many threes they can make and that's the game. I know. I kind of hate it. The strategy's gone. And you hate it. Yeah. It annoys me. It's just not what it used to be. The whole separate issue, not part

of the study of his discussion, but maybe the NBA Yeah. Let's do an NBA one. I have got some thoughts. Yeah. Yeah. We could Okay, two other quick things real quick about slowing down time. This one is going to scare a few people who, like, this is crucial to their lives, so don't worry, we're not talking to you. But breaking your routines, so you have some novelty in your life. So, like going on a walk where you're really paying attention might feel like, oh, yeah,

I go on walks, but you could do something more novel during that time. I think if you pay attention to your daily routines, often they're just. that predictability and whatever helps with being efficient, not being stressed or whatever, right? So there's nothing wrong with it. It's just doing the same thing the last days will make time have zero breaks and it'll feel like it's flowing, flying past. And you don't really remember what happened two days ago because nothing was novel. So it might be just something subtle. I think this is why people love podcasts, right? Because it's adding, it's not whatever they're just doing that day, they're adding this sort of novel conversation in their head that

they're listening to while they do a thing. So breaking routines in the last one. It doesn't let them listen to their walk. Yeah. Right? Well, and I'll tell you, this today, anyone in Minnesota will know what I'm talking about. There is a certain temperature, the certain kind of snow. And when you walk on it, it is like, it's like a sound you've never heard. It's like, oh, that crispy. Yeah, the glass sound like it's shattering. I do. And it's so loud. If you really listen, you're like, oh, you're not sneaking up on anyone in this.

Pretty great. Okay. And then the final thing is to reflect or document your experiences. So journaling, storytelling, sort of putting it on paper or processing it all in any form really does slow down time. So if you wrote at the end of the day, sort of what happened in the day, you are double remembering it. Does that make sense?

you're like solidifying that the events did happen. And that's a way to sort of slow things down. So there's, yeah, the iOS added a thing, not in the most recent update, but a very recent update that kind of prompts you to journal where it actually says, hey, take a moment right now and describe the three best things that happened today for you or something along those lines. And I always think about doing, I never do it, but I think about doing it. But you think about it.

I think about it. And maybe it's me thinking about it that is all that I need to do. It's not writing down those memories. I'm remembering those memories and not writing it down. Yeah. So let me ask you this. Does it do, does it slow time down for you? Or does it like help you remember things?

It does. Well, I think if, like, I haven't, I haven't, I really seriously haven't done any of the writing. But I have. But when that comes up, I think, oh, what would I write if I were to write something in here? And that's probably good enough. honestly that's what i'm saying if i do that that i don't need to actually do the actual typing part and then no one can ever find your document and know what you thought about anything that's far better exactly one thing i've learned in life never leave a paper trail sure write it darrow yeah

it's our digital footprint that will bite us in the ass because we have so much of it out there have so much content just this show this show alone i don't i haven't done the calculations but there's so much like the world could end And if anyone has my hard drive full of MP3s, they'll, I think they just have my life now. That's just me. Oh, for sure. That is like, and the amount of content we've provided for AI.

Oh, yeah. You know, when AI gets perfected, the learning of voice and isn't this weird little fake Fletcher Mario from the Atlantic, uh, that we're going to, you know, it will basically sound just like this. And we won't have to lift a finger. Yep. That's the idea. I want to lift a finger, folks. I'm not saying that, oh, my God, it'll be so nice when I don't have to do the show.

No, I want to do this show. I don't think anyone's going to want to listen when he is that good. So that's the one thing I'm holding on to. Because, like, who cares? If a robot does it, who cares? It's not fun anymore. What is it? We want blood and, we want flesh and blood.

That's what we want. Right. So on the journaling front, I've been trying to do this better. I have been doing it. Um, there's this tendency to want to reach back into my childhood where I was told journaling was like this very introspective, you know, you're really spilling your soul every night into your thing and how detailed you needed to be. And I'm trying to get myself trained off of that notion and just, yeah, just say, right. Just write some. Lunch was cool today. I saw a weird guy put a thing up his nose. Anyway, see you tomorrow. Like I need to just be a little looser. Yeah. About what I'm doing. And that's, that's been hard for me. was, my training is your great, great grandchildren will read this. Yes. I'm like, well, I can't write anything because they're going to be like,

Grandma was insane. If I write, that guy picked his nose and made me laugh, right? But really, so are we writing it for someone else? And I think you can untrain yourself by, you know, it burns up at your death. That was going to be my question because one of the problems that I have, I definitely have this is I think too much about that. And I was trained the same way. these journals are going to be within your family line for perpetuity until time ends

and all I can think of is well I got to be careful what I write yeah better you got to be careful who the audience is or whatever and that's dumb that sucks it slows you got you got go into it thinking that not only is nobody from your family going to read this later on you're probably never going to read it again either if you're going to write this it's out of your head and you're never going to touch it again yeah right yeah right so that way Brian's got a really encrypted within his own mind, which is great if it works for you. But for others maybe like even just the process of reflecting has the power to like witness your own life. So this is a term that is lots of people will use in therapy, you know, directly.

I don't, it tends to feel a little wooey to me to say it this way. I don't know, but it really is true that we need witnesses for our lives. Like, what is a friendship or what is catching up with a family member or loved one? If it's not this, hey, let me share what's happening and now you're participating or witnessing my life and real comfort and real connection often includes a lot of witnessing. Like, I'm there for you and I see you. And therapy really is just witnessing. It's somebody's story and you are.

hearing it and you're invested in it and you're you're there to see how hard it was for them and help them you know work through something so there's a lot of power in that and i think you know when we look at what journaling really might be at its most simple form is to use the mechanics of your brain and memory and long term short term to long term storage like how all that works is to sort of just acknowledging your own life has some value like if i said hey you two write your autobiographies. You might be like, yeah, okay, well, I'm not sure that's going to help anyone. Right. Yeah, we might actually just transcribe, use a tool to transcribe these shows. And there we go. There we go. Right. But if we think of like, it's not an ego-based thing.

It's not for your great, great whoever's. It is actually this process for you while you live and breathe, you know, and some people, this is just never going to be interesting to them. And then for others, they really come to discover like what a gift it is to process on paper and like have some freedom there or and even witness their own life and feel like, okay, well, I want to remember that or I don't want to remember that or whatever. And you can do anything. So Scott, you should really just force yourself to write the stupidest thing every day. Like that's, I'm pretty sure. Is you seen his YouTube channel? I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure it's stupid as it is. Not stupid, but just like I have I have been making an effort to not not get all up in my head about it

and just vent it like put it out there just go I've written what I want to write you know like I do this thing the kid little ones are staying with us for a couple days while Tays and hanging out with Mark and Phoenix and yeah they're having a good time and they're here and they're all and the kids are great but it's a little stressful because fans got school in the morning and it's just like having kids again a little bit and also I never sleep well at night when they're here because I worry about them all night. I don't want to be the house that one of them chokes in their sleep. You know, yeah, or whatever it is.

I hate that feeling of like, just that whole idea of having to say, sorry, Tay, but one of them jumped down the stairs and probably his femur's forever ruined or whatever, right? That's not my watch. It's not much of a diagnosis to say your femur is ruined, but you know what I mean. So what I did last night was, I mean, we were having a black. There's so much freaking fun that it absolutely makes up for it. But those kinds of anxieties are real. And so I wrote a bunch of stuff about that. It's just like, you know, like almost that whole idea of like if you write down the worst thing, that thing will never happen. Yeah. It's a weird comfort that comes from that. But I do that sometimes with like, like if it's we had those storms when I went to California a couple months ago and they grounded the plane for like three hours before we could take off. And then the same thing coming back. And then the same thing coming back. because we're having these crazy windstorms and normal flight anxiety about windstorms like yeah turbulence is no good and I know that they can do it but also they're waiting until the skies are safe

and that's why we're here for three hours on the tarmac and blah blah blah blah but in my head I'm like what's the worst thing that could happen I'll think of that terrible thing and then I'm better because there's no way that worse thing's going to happen it'll be something it'll be something well under that down to boring exactly and and that somehow is comforting. I know that's not going to work for everybody because they may catastrophize themselves into thinking the worst thing's going to happen. And I'm not so I'm not saying this works for everybody. But for whatever reason, it works for me to be to go a little dark, then pull back. Does that make sense to you at all? Yes. Okay. Yes.

100%. All right. And that's one way. Or you just get treatment for anxiety. Problem solved. Problem solved. Okay. No, I love it. I think You should just write whatever you want to write. I mean, if I could give everyone a little, like, test on this, try one of two things. One, just start writing something down. So, like for me, I don't think what I have to say is that interesting. So I'll write it down and then I'll do a little sketch. And I am, as we know, not a good artist.

So it's just funny that I'll draw a little sketch. I copy from somewhere because I have no original ideas. And my kids are always just like, what? Because it looks like I came up with this clever, like a guy with his tongue out, the tongue is actually a skateboard and they're like, you're so cool. I'm like, yeah. Of course I'm not. For the New Yorker. Yeah. So somehow that helps me feel like if anyone finds this, it's going to be fine.

But anyway, just that idea of like do something every day that is witnessing your life, whatever that may look like. It could be, I know people have done this thing where you take a picture of yourself every single day and it's like one second. And then you make a collage. Yay, whatever you want, whatever you got to do to sort of like be in your skin and live your life. here's the other one I'd love for people to do. Okay, and I'm going to have you guys do right now. Something is happening this weekend for all of you, because guess what? Everyone has a thing all week, and there might just be you sit there, but you have something this weekend, okay?

I want you to pick whatever one thing you're doing and to really be present for it. So, for example, I'll tell you what mine is, and then you guys, maybe you could show yours. So this Saturday There are these lakes in Minneapolis That freeze over, of course And of course, it's not every year Because of global stuff But anyway, they usually freeze

And I think I'm told you about them It's the they make ice lights out of like whole cities Full of light and Hanging beautiful ice things from trees And it's this gorgeous like you walk around the lake Or when it's frozen you walk on the lake And you go the whole distance in snowshoes or cross-country skis or whatever, and it's just freaking magical.

Like, glorious lights trapped in ice everywhere, cool designs. One time there was a whole band made out of ice. So, like, the trumpet was frozen into the ice. It was so cool and drums made out of ice. So we're going to that. Abe's got a new girlfriend. Anyway, so we're going to meet her. Wait, what happened to the Italian, fiery Italian girl?

Yeah, she's great. They broke up like the first week of the first semester of college because, you know, They need to live their lives. I get it. They're good friends and it's fine. But I do miss her. She's great. But I'm going to meet the new girlfriend and hopefully not call her by the wrong name.

Anyway, but we are going to be going around this lake looking at this beautiful stuff. And they have these huge fire pits and a band playing usually and these really long sticks. And they just give out marshmallows and everyone just roast marshmallows and huge groups of people. It's so fun. And it is one of those things where I could go and pay attention to my cold toes. or I could go and be super worried that this new girl thinks I'm stupid or I can, you know, there's all the things you can do, but what I'm going to do, and this is what I want you guys to think about.

What can you do? I mean, this is a fun thing. How many things do we have that are fun, but we don't actually absorb that they're great, right? So you've got to find something about what you're going to do to make sure you let it absorb. So my plan is to, this sounds really simple, but it really works. especially in cold air, by the way. And that is to, so I like to do this whenever we're at this.

It's called the lopet, and it's this big old circle thing. Anyway, I like to go, there's usually piles of snow, and I like to just go lay in the snow and just air at the sky. I do like that, too. And breathe. I mean, it is the most magical feeling, right? To, like, really appreciate the hundreds and hundreds of people who have taken the time to freeze these beautiful artworks and put light in them.

Like, I can just take a minute and, like, really. sit in it and it might be fun with a girlfriend, who knows. It's always fun to be with Abe, and I love the marshmallow part. That's like one of my favorite things, like to really look around the circle and look at all these people in their dumb hats and they're like thousands layers of coats and like, we're out on a freezing night. Like it's just, there's something about it that really pulls you into the moment, but I have to engage with that something, right?

And I say that's true of your grandkids being at your house, Scott, right? you can be in worry that they're going to break their femurs or you can be sitting and laughing and focused on one of them. But the difference, sometimes it happens naturally. What I'm asking everyone to do is pick one thing this weekend where they on purpose engage the I am present muscle. Like, I am here. That means your phone needs to be thrown across the room. That means nothing else is distracting you and you are absolutely present with your D&D group. You are absolutely present while swimming, whatever it is you have that you're going to do this weekend. So do you guys have something on the top of your head we can work with? Well, I'm going to, I'm going to that book

opening. So we have a listener who lives in Springville. And they're opening, they've got, they've had this dream for a long time to open a bookstore, him and his wife. So they're opening a bookstore. I'm going to go there. Since we safely transfer the children, hopefully not Indiana Jones style and giant ball chases us down a hall after. But we're going to change, we're going to swap the children out and then go to Springville. and go to this opening and hang out and see this place and I'm just really excited about it. But it's an interesting point you're making because I'm not, I don't have anything about it that I'm like stressed about, right? Or that I'm worried I need to be somewhere else or I'm worried

about any of that. It's not. So I feel like the act of me going there and doing this is in itself the escape and also to your earlier point about, you know, doing something different on a Saturday than I'm used to or something and maybe that'll help or whatever. but I'm going to go soak it in and enjoy it. There's a pizza place right below them or next to them or above them or something like that. I'm going to probably have lunch while we're out there and just me and Kim having a day in Springville. And so, yeah, like that's, I don't know if that'll be the place for exactly what you're saying to be present, but I'm going to try. Keep your phone in your pocket and just be there.

And maybe tell yourself like these are the good old days. That's an idea of like, this is. And look at the community. I've worked to build and here's some evidence of that. Or even just like me around the fire, it's like, look at all these good humans. Like, I, it's seeing humans being themselves and happy and good and doing good things is so powerful, right? So, but you've got to look at it and you have to see it. So yeah, I think that's a perfect one.

All right, Brian, what do you go? Yeah, mine taking Tina to dinner tomorrow night with a big group of friends going to this Italian place that she really likes. and phones are going to be in pockets and not, you know, not like, oh, my God, check out this, you know, photo I took of the cat or Lullin conversation. Well, let me see if there's anything on right, right, right, or whatever. It's, you know, going to be in the moment present and maybe a photo, maybe a photo to put on the socials really quick, but then. Yeah, so everyone knows you're living your best life. And really, my life is every day. An example might of what to like ground it in a little is like take a minute and just like really look at like you've seen this in movies where someone's sitting there and they're appreciating and there's music right and they're seeing their loved ones laughing or whatever like take a minute and really like wow look at all these people who choose to be in my presence like I am lucky or whatever the thing that comes to your mind as you as you really pay attention and open your your mind up to

this moment is this moment. It'll be good for everyone. Okay, so I would like everyone to take on this challenge. If you have no plans this weekend, you're like, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to sleep a lot because I'm exhausted and I'm going to pet my cat. Do it with the cat. Like, really feel the fur of that cat. Really appreciate that you have a cat willing to let you pet it, whatever it is, right?

Like you're sort of be really present in what your life is and this moment rather than Which is rare than people think. Cats are jerks sometimes about that. So enjoy it. Stop when you see the cat's tail start flickering wildly. That is the point where that is saying, yep, enough. Don't be in the moment anymore. Is that the sign?

That's the sign. That's the sign. Yeah, when the cat starts like swishing its tail, then it's like. I have a cat that won't even let me try. So he's frustrating as hell that way. He's just not a very friendly cat. me. That's, that's an aura. Like, you know, as soon as Tina, first pet from Tina is like, that's all you get. And then the tail starts swishing and she's going to hiss any second. I can get away

with much longer sessions. But even I, like, she gets her, she has her fill of me pretty quick too. It's like, okay, that's enough. Back off. We sleep. Yeah. From an evolutionary standpoint, I shouldn't be in this house. Right. Yes. But I will. So you guys can enjoy me. You know, killing something. Why do you have to be trapped in here? It should be bigger than I am. Yeah, they should blame the Egyptians. It's their fault. They're the ones that figured out the way.

Not modern Egyptians. Everyone would be nice to them. Anyway, well, this is great. I feel like we're going to have an opportunity this weekend and maybe next week as a part of our discussion.

girl was apparently just a real spit fire and she had a family that was like a bunch of Joe Pesci's basically. Really? So like, you know, basically that Italian, the stereotype Italian family of like, uh, yeah, everybody yelling at the kitchen, the dining table. Pass this. I said, what are you doing? Knock it off.

Yeah, very much. And also just very fiercely protective of her. So they were just like always like, oh, yeah. Just, just, don't you, you know, don't you hurt her feelings. I'm going to come find you. You break my daughter's heart. I break your face. Yeah, it was a little of that.

But she was also pretty tough and would, like, slap back and tell them to knock it off. So it was pretty funny. All right, that is it for today's show, everybody. We hope you've enjoyed it. I know that we have a quick note about stuff that's on today, core at noon today. No coverville today still, is that correct? No coverville today.

It was only Yelp or something. And you were like... Yeah, one more piece. It's the bakery. I was going to talk to them while I was there getting my Black Forest cake, but A, half my face wasn't moving. B, the person that was there, I don't think was in any role of authority that could say, we need a website. Yeah. And it didn't speak very clear.

I do love the idea, though, that with half your face numb, you'd be just going, Who do I talk to you about your website? You need your website. Oh, man. That's a great visual. All right. Well, so there's that. So, core today at noon.
