How long did it take me? It lasted seven weeks. Ah! who had seven weeks in the tadpool send me your you'll get your prize send me here I had a perfect record last year I didn't want to break it this early like I didn't do it July broken I'm gonna puke next that's not good it would be great if it all happened at once 24 no just like a puk stick and the minority report uh all right you guys we're here it's a show it's me and brian hi brian how you doing hi scott Happy President's Day 2, where we celebrate good presidents, like Washington and Lincoln. Yeah, we like Lincoln. I think John Adams is cool.

I'm a fan of Madison and Monroe, a fan of those two. Those guys are all right, sure. Yeah. Even, you know, Grover Cleveland. Can't go wrong with a guy named Grover. That's right. He got shot on a way to something, didn't he? He did, yeah.

One of the assassinated presidents. One of our few assassinated presidents, yeah. And then we had a, the guy that took over was super corrupt. And it was all during like the tombstone time. There's a whole story with that guy. He's kind of a butthole. But, uh, yeah, I'm, yeah, I, you know what? Grover Cleveland.

Thumbs up. Yeah. Never forget. I don't even, I've never met a real Grover in my entire life. I've only known the Muppet Grover and the president. Just the Muppet and the president. Yeah, those are the only two Grover's, uh, Grover, Washington. We got the musician too, Grover Washington.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. But that's very few Grover's, right? There's very few Grovers, and I think we do need some more Grovers. Yeah, let's get that going, new parents of babies. If you're pregnant right now, if you are listening to the sound of our voice and you are pregnant, I implore you. Name your child, Grover. And how cute is that? It's cute.

Grover. It's a great name. Yeah, now when you get older, they'll have a choice. They'll either have to. It's nothing really. You can shorten it, too. You can't go. Grover.

Grover. Grover. Grover. It's silly. Grovey, yeah, that doesn't work. either, does it? Yeah, I don't know. I feel like you're asking for trouble later, but as a little baby, a little kid named Grover is adorable. I love that. Yeah. And there's no, currently no bad Grover's to, uh, for people to compare it. Like, you can't do an Adolf. You can't do a, I don't know,

there's probably some other bad names. Rhymes with Ronald. Yeah. Yeah, well, there's that. Some of those. I would, I probably wouldn't name my son Kanye right now. No, hell no. Don't be doing or yee or yeezus, any of those. Or, uh, Puffy. Puff you would be a bad thing to name your child right now. Yeah, don't be doing that. Anyway, let's get to it. So we got a few things. Yeah.

I went and saw Brave New World on... Oh, yeah, cool. When did I see it? Yesterday. My weekend's all weird in my head because we had a lot going on and I don't really know what day I did anything. But we had a little birthday party and a sleepover and we had stuff. We had stuff. And we decided Sunday we're like, you know what?

A big part of the day open and we're like, we don't have anything right now. Let's go see the freaking movie. So we did. and I quite enjoyed it I would not put it anywhere near Winter Soldier but I liked it I thought it was fine I went in with a bit of confusion and I think I

even said this on the show and nobody called me on it and I wouldn't blame them because maybe they thought the same thing I might have missed it too if you said it well I know that I know the Russo brothers are doing the next Avengers combo you're right the the dynasty doom Doom whatever and Secret

Wars yeah and I had it in my head because they did They did Winter Soldier back in 2015 and then went on to do the two, you know, uptale end game. I thought that they were doing that again. I thought this next Captain America was them directing. It's not. It's some dude I never heard of. I don't even remember you saying that.

I must have completely missed you saying that. It was very much in passing. And just in my head, I thought I had it all set. So I get into this movie, and I'm just noticing a style difference. And it was throwing me at first. I also think the weakest part of that movie is the opening, the whole opening sequence. I don't think that stuff's all that great. It's okay, but it's not, it's not great.

It's not like a big, wow, I'm at the movies. Look at this awesome thing, but it's just him, him just stopping a crime early. It's all connected, but it's just kind of boring. It's not a big deal. Yeah, it's all right, but it introduces John Carlo Esposito, and that's always fun. But anyway, I get to that part, and I'm like, this doesn't feel like the Russo's. And of course, by the end of the movie, I've realized that I've had it all wrong. It's not the Rousseau's at all.

Anyway, I enjoyed it. We had a great time. Here's the weird thing, though. I'm in that movie, or I'm in that theater. And this is the theater we used to use for the Nerdtaculars 20-07 through 2010. Sorry, 2012. Okay. So you know the one.

Is it the Larry Miller Theater? Yeah, the one with the upstairs space we had and all that. Yeah. We watched, I think, our last. one that we watched there would have been let's see 2013 was the first snowbird so I don't remember what 2012 would have been

um was that uh iron man two that was 10 I think 2010 okay okay star trick uh that was oh nine oh nine okay I can't remember 11 or 12 brave oh we didn't I know why because we didn't do it there we went to we were at

Noah's 11 and 12 we still saw a movie on one of those I thought maybe it was brave we did but It wasn't as a, it was like just a fun little like, hey, if you're still around. If you're still in town, we're all going to see Braves, that kind of thing. So I don't think we did anything, like where the movie was the centerpiece from 2010 on, which makes sense because I remember Iron Man 2 being the last thing we did. Right, because we had, you know, plenty of stuff going on with the actual multi-day event now.

Yeah, we grew and changed. And so anyway, I haven't been in there since what was the Spider-Man movie? movie after it was my first movie post-pandemic in a theater it was the spider-man movie not it's one of the homes homecoming or no it would have been uh when did i hurt my back it was that it was the week after i hurt my back that that's less of a uh thing for me to keep track i know you know i can't expect everyone to keep track of my back that's either uh far from home homecoming or no way home yeah obviously that's one was no one way home so i think it's the one with like all everybody coming together so that'd be no way home

oh that would be no way home okay oh that was that would be your first okay that sounds about right timing wise i think so anyway i go to that then and everything the place was it was not a great experience but the place was still as i remember it tons of restaurants on that side a bunch of restaurants on this side big open space in the middle with lots of seating a big long line to get your tickets blah blah blah that whole thing they're running great no problem now i've been there in a long time, partly because the ones I have gone to are these new theaters up the road and just we haven't been there. We go in there, partly because I didn't have a great time at the Spider-Man one, not the movie, but the experience at the theater was kind of crap.

Experience, yeah. Just dirty and it felt like kids were running it and it just wasn't great. So we go to this one because all the time or the show times for the other theaters were all kind of bad for our schedule, but this one had one open up at 2 p.m. And I'm like, all right, that'll work. We can get back in time for what we have to do. So we go in there. and the restaurants that line the walls, gone. Oh, really? They're just gone.

They're just walls now. And hardly anything on them, maybe one or two posters, like for upcoming movies or something. And then on the other side, same thing except one little stall that's just a food pickup thing. So now what they basically have is a kiosk,

out in the middle where you say, I want nachos, a drink, and a thing, beep, bo, beep. And then you go, they have your ticket, and you just go pick it up when they call your name. Sure. And then even the ticket lady, where they used to have like four ticket taker people, now it's just a kiosk and one lady there to help anyone who struggles with the kiosk.

And that's it. So it's fine. It just felt like a ghost town. Like nobody's there. It was so weird. But you don't get still the big variety of food that they had when there are multiple. Oh, not nearly. Not nearly.

It's like a hot dog, a really bad pizza and nachos where you literally get a bag of, you have to open the bag, dump it into it's like bad. Oh, no, really, not even like the plastic tray of nachos? Yeah, it's terrible. I don't know what's happened. I don't know what happened here. Nachos in a bag is the worst. I think it was scientifically proven that is the worst way of serving nachos.

I agree with you. I couldn't agree more. In your hands would be worse. Hold out your hands. Chips in your hand. Pour the nacho cheese on my hand would be the worst. That's the worst. It would be slightly worse than a bag.

Yeah, this was like do your own nachos. I may as well have gone to a 7-11. It was that bad. and and I got a hot dog and the hot dog was fine but it was I felt it felt risky you know I felt like I was playing with fate there a little bit and there were like maybe two people working that whole thing and they were running around like mad trying to do stuff it's clear they cut way back on stuff except pricing everything is expensive but of course the place is so like I could I felt like I was going to see like a tumbleweed go by it was so quiet in there and there's

nobody in the theater. Meanwhile, these other two locations we were trying to get into, packed. Yeah. So clearly that's what's happened is this has fallen out of favor from the general public for whatever reason and they're just not going there and everybody instead are going to these new ones. And so he was just weird and creepy. Clean. I'll give him that. Because last time I was there was dirty as hell. This time it was pretty clean. Bathrooms are nice and clean. Like that they've up their game that way. But it just felt like giving up. It felt like they just gone, we're not what we used to be me i know because they were innovative at the time when they launched they were the first place in the history of movies in my state anywhere where you could reserve a seat

they they like broke ground with that i remember how yeah i remember how cool that was how novel that was when we were talking about it and now it's everywhere pretty much yeah now it's everywhere of course and you know obviously systems have improved to make that so easy that why wouldn't they but at the time it was like whoa and the experience of there's food here and there's multiple choices not just popcorn but like all different kinds of food like you get they're really good flatbread pizzas and uh yeah that's what i remember having i can't remember what else there was but it's like it's good oh decent decent food and now it's like yep we're basically we've we've given up and um it's really just a matter of time because without doing anything else people

are just going to stop slowly going here at all yeah we'll just shutter our doors this will be Spirit Halloween. Yes. That's what it felt like, honestly. Like, they're going to use this for something else in the future. I could feel it in there. And anyway, I mean, Larry died. Maybe his sons are idiots.

I don't know what's going on. But it seems just poorly done. Now, somebody in the chat said, well, I would exclusively go there because there's nobody there. Okay. So if you are looking for a great solo movie experience. Yeah. Might I recommend the Megaplex up the street from me because nobody's there? just insane

yeah because it's like all right you get the benefit of not having you know people on your shoulder basically on both sides but there's something about being in a movie theater full of people and everyone's like oh you know and you know seeing certain characters come in

and getting that to gasp and yeah and things like that and that was officially that that was officially the third Harrison Ford movie I'd seen in that movie theater oh really this one To see, Crystal Skull back in 08 Where famously one of the pizza ovens caught on fire

And everybody got evacuated as a whole thing Which is a way more exciting than Crystal Skull Oh hell yeah, dude And that was like 08 I think And then when they opened we saw Oh no, it wouldn't have been the Air Force One I can't remember now Shit

We talked about last night Now I can't remember it But it may have been another one Where he's like the president or something Oh you know what it was It was one of those clear and present danger things I think okay Jack Ryan things yeah so good job Harrison Ford I've watched you age quite a bit in that movie theater and you still haven't seen dial a destiny right still haven't no well I know I should watch

it we got James Mangold up for a ward not for it but yeah you know may as well may as well soak in it he was looking when he's uh I don't want to spoil anything about the movie but there's a scene where we get to see a lot of Harrison Ford you know what I mean and oh yes yes right just a brief moment it's just a little brief shot yeah but it's just like oh you are a brave man at your age to be doing that i wouldn't do it now yeah that was that was intense uh yeah anyway i had a good time and i know because the red hulks all over the promotional material and stuff like there's no spoilers about red Hulk being in this thing i thought that scene was like the fight was freaking awesome that was great it was really really good and very well well again i'm not

going to say more because i don't want to spoil anything but um well done for the kind of characters that you've got going against each other. Yep, I agree. And I'll just say that. That's a good way of saying it. I need to ask you about the Stinger, because I don't get it. Oh, yeah, okay. I'll do it after the show.

We'll do it after the show. Yeah, because I'm assuming there's spoilers involved, but I have no idea what he was talking about in the end there. Because I was listening real careful for it, because you said it was important. And I was like, all right, here we go, and I'm paying attention. Instead of it being one of, well, gee, yeah, we'll talk about. about afterwards because I'm not going to, again, don't want to spoil for anybody. Stick around, though.

If you're, especially you're a Marvel head, there's a stinger at the very end. There's no mid-stinger this time. Yeah, I know. It was surprising. I was waiting for a mid-credit stinger, and there was not just the ending one. It felt like they had a slot for it because the music crescendoed and everything, and then went. Then I thought, okay, here we go, mids thing.

And then now they rolled credits. That was fine. All right. Hey, y'all, let's get to, oh, a quick thing here, this is just for funsies. we've been hearing about this new asteroid hurtling it toward Earth. Have you heard about this thing? I have not. This is funny.

You put that in there, and I had not heard about this yet. There was one while back that was like the size of a Volkswagen or something that had its... Is that the one that we changed its orbit because it got so close to us? It became a mini moon? Oh, I don't know. Is it in orbit now? I didn't know that.

No. We just changed its orbit. We affected its orbit, but it... Oh, I had no idea. We sent Bruce Willis up there with all those guys. and took care of it. We did, and they fixed it. Yep.

Thank goodness. I was on the fence about Bouchemie having anything to do with any of us, but anyway. Well, I did they had to tie them up, so it really. That's a good point. So anyways, we have this asteroid. I don't know the name of it, but it's a 2% chance of hitting the Earth, and it's about the size. The description I heard, it was the size of a Mexican villa.

Who knows how big a Mexican villa? villa is you got me dude i heard that and went are you kidding me you need to be like use your big boy words here uh news station or whoever told me the size of the uh montpelier vermont starbucks yeah yeah it's very very weird but uh anyway that's what i heard so i assume it's like a building uh so that's large you know this is the one called 2024 y r4 because gotcha they just they just name it after the year they discover it and it's like COVID 19. It's just always going to be 19. Exactly. Yep. So when, so this thing's got a 2% chance of hitting Earth. And it's a big deal if it did because this is big enough to cause a extinction event.

We'd all die. That's big enough. So something the size of a house hitting us. That's it because of the velocity and all that stuff is just the whole thing. Bobby can explain this more if he ever wants to. He's on today. Maybe you will. I don't know. Cool. But anyway, 2%. I used, and when I heard that, I went, oh, that's not that high of a... I mean, that seems like we're fine. And by the odds, well, yeah, it's better than 50% or, you know, some other ridiculous number. It's a 1 in 50 shot, basically. So 2% asteroid, here are some other things that there are a 2% chance of.

Oh, okay. And I'm in any of it in categories. For comparison. Yeah, for comparison. We got everyday life, unusual or random events, sports and games, and science and nature. Okay? I'll just rip through these. flipping a coin and getting heads six times in a row.

You have a 2% chance of that. I swear I've done that before. I've hit the 2% on that. A long time ago. I remember being blown away that I could get that many. In fact, I thought the coin was weighted at that point because I thought it was cheating. It's not on this list, but it's also the drop rate of the mount in the Halloween event. It's one of the Halloween events.

Oh, right, the headless horseman. Yeah, that's about 2%. And people get those all the time, so I'm just saying. Picking a single specific card from a standard deck. So, Brian, you have a 2% chance of reaching into a deck and pulling out the six of spades if that's what you were aiming to pull out. Sure, sure. That seems insane to me that anybody's ever done that, but I guess that's 2%. And these all have margins of error, but I'm not getting into those because not really the point.

Rolling two six-sided dice in a row on a fair six-sided dice. So rolling two sixes, sorry, in a row. on a fair six-sided dice. So that would be like... That feels more common, doesn't it? Like you could do it more often. It doesn't feel like a 2% chance. So that's a 1-6 chance the first time.

I mean, obviously, it's a 1-6 chance the second time. So it would be... It's 1-6 times 2. 1-36 chance in that happening. Yeah, so you could do the math separate on per die and then come... I don't know, there's a way to do it. You multiply. You basically say it's a 1-6 chance.

chance that it'll happen the first time and then one and six chance the second time you multiply so it's a one and thirty six chance because you can think of all the other iterations right one one one two one three and there's right 36 another one is uh getting exactly one matching number in a six number lottery six is interesting another six there i don't know if that has anything to do with it but uh unusual random events being born on february 29th or a leap day that's the two you have a 2% chance of that mix or you know minus or max a little bit but it's roughly that

that okay that also doesn't seem right because it's there are 365 days in a year and so being born on any specific day would be a one in 365 chance which is already far

that's already lower than 6% that might be based on birth rates common birth rate or common birth times of the year or something like that okay i can't remember like they have other data to say it's not just that all days are random it's that most kids are born between january and july or something like that and so it changes the numbers um being struck by lightning and your entire life being struck by lightning two percent chance no all right this this feels Really? Where did you get this list? Because I've heard that being struck by lightning is like a, it's something even, it's astronomical like one in a million or something.

You know, two percent chance that you're going to be struck. One in 50 people will be struck by lightning. This is according to three different LLM searches. And they all came back with the same numbers. So I'm not, so I say that. kind of an officy way because I'm saying, yes, this is not, I'm not, I don't have the guy to the study sitting over there, but according to chat GPT, deep seek, and I can't remember the other one, they all, these are all corroborated numbers based on the same search. So whether or not, yeah, according to the National Weather Service, the chance of being struck by lightning in a lifetime is about 1 in 15,300.

So I don't know what the percentage is, the percentage is of that. but maybe more like 0.02%, maybe. Yeah, that seems, that one seems wrong, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah. That one may be based on... Maybe it's, yeah, maybe it got its data from something like, what are the chances of anybody during a storm being struck by light, or anybody during the year being, I don't know.

Well, how you like this one? Random person in the U.S. being named Wolfgang. How you like that? It feels like that. That feels like that one can't even be scientifically proven. Yeah, I don't know how you'd prove that. It's probably based on numbers. There's always a person in the U.S. being named Wolfgang.

You mean the person born? Yeah, somebody being born and being named Wolfgang. Maybe born on Leap Day being named Wolfgang and then getting struck by lightning. And then rolling six-sided dice twice and around. I'm feeling some six-finger AI action going on. There could be some of that, which is why I did the three sources, but who knows of that even works. I don't know. For all I know, they're all stealing the same data, so I don't know.

Yeah. Sports and games, professional basketball player missing two consecutive free throws as supposedly, according to this, a 2% chance. That one, I don't know how you'd... What I feel like would be higher than 2%, like, probably. Like, if we were playing the game of higher or lower than a 2% chance, I would say a pro basketball player missing two consecutive free throws could be even like 10 or 50 well this one so someone put shack's name in there I knew somebody would because shack

was notoriously bad at free throws this is this this data according to they had there's a little extra text on there see if I may have it here it says uh uh oh my mit minus or plus two per two percent possibility for top shooters so they're only paying attention to like your best free throw shooters like I don't know their names but let's say it's uh I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know who a top shooter in the NBA is, but you're saying, okay, so like one of your top shooters. Yeah, like Steph Curry, if it's Steph Curry at the line every time, I would bet on him hitting almost 100% of his shots because the guy never misses his shots.

So that's their thinking there. Next one, professional poker player getting a pocket ace twice in a row. Now, you'll know what that is because you're a gambler man. It's just basically somebody being dealt at a poker table, a pair of aces face down for Texas Holdham. Professional or not, you have the same chance? There's no, like, well, I'm really good at poker, so I know how to randomly get those pocket aces. Let's see what it says. It says, professional has zero to do with any of that.

It says it has a 2.07% error chance, but why? I don't even know, like, even if the chance of getting pocket aces, chance of getting pocket aces might be, just once might be 2%. Yeah. Because it's, again, one out of, it'd be one out of, it'd be one out of. of 52 and then one out of 51 um uh let me see here yeah dealt pocket ace is less than a 0.5 chance of being dealt pocket aces once it's a 1 and 221 chance okay well if that's true then that's way less than 2% it's way less than 2% and that's just one that's just being dealt uh pocket aces once, let alone twice.

Yeah, I don't know how it thinks this. All right, here's the final two, and maybe it's having nothing but those hallucinations you hear about. AI hallucinations? That's the thing. But anyway, science and nature, the chance of random atom of uranium decaying in the next second. 2% depending on the isotope, it says.

Okay. And then finally, the probability of a full moon occurring on Halloween, once every 19 years, so roughly 2%, they say. again I don't know could be Sam Altman just throwing this shit at me from the void

I don't know but there you have it I guess what I'm saying is there are probably a lot of things that have a 2% chance happening in your life hopefully one of them isn't a mass extinction human event

that happens with this stupid asteroid the size of a Mexican villa that's what we hope let's hope the people who calculated that there's a 2% chance of the asteroid hitting us didn't use the same AI the same LLMs that you used.

And it really is like a 75% chance. I'm like, wow, it's good a. Yeah, that makes you. Oh, right, of course. Dove. Of course, it'd be four out of 52. Thank you, Cyranax, because one specific ace would be one in 52, but four out of 52, and then three out of 51 for the second ace. Yes.

It's still a one out of 221 chance. The chat winner, though, is to Mantlebeard, who says 2% of the accuracy of the LLMs giving accurate data. nice job dude nice job yeah all right uh brian there's something here about ice i'm scared yeah i'll tell this one really quick so saturday so saturday the storm that you guys had that um caused people you know to get stuck in traffic for two three hours hooty had problems in utah like home and stuff kim was stuck out there uh for a while yeah um came through here and it was like a hit it hard and then disappear kind of storm like we got um we got hit hard and then yesterday was absolutely beautiful. It melted everything. But I decided, well,

I'm going to go out early, right after film sack, go do some ride share driving, and then come home and do some freelance, at some freelance to do on Saturday. But I said, let's knock it out early. So sure enough, got out there, started driving people around, little trickle of snow here and there, and it's, you know, just fine. And then all of a sudden it starts coming down hard. And it starts coming down sideways, which I guess means it's coming across. Yeah. And it's just collecting. Like my windshield wipers are going.

But does anybody like you, who knows, who lives in a climate where you get a lot of snow, your windshield wiper will sweep off the snow up to a point. But then as soon as it starts coming down almost more that it can handle, snow will collect on your windshield wiper. And it'll start becoming less affected. It'll start, it'll start melting and refrefer. freezing because of the friction of windshield wiper going across your window and turning into ice that kind of pushes the blade away from your windshield making it so that as it's going back and

forth it's leaving empty spots where it's not brushing things off sure that makes sense yeah happens on our stupid car all the time i hate it yeah it happens you know if it's heavy heavy snow then it happens a lot out in our states so what you do if you're you know you grew up in this kind of stuff, you know, to roll down your window a little bit, and then as the windshield wiper is going back and forth, you basically gently grab the end of the windshield wiper blade as it comes towards you, pull it away from the window a little bit, and let it snap back against the glass so that it breaks off the ice and breaks off all the stuff that's on the windshield.

Sure. So did that a couple times, and then dropped a passenger off. And I was, you know, very close to a Dutch brother's coffee. I'm like, oh, I'm going to go get, I'm going to quickly go get a coffee. And maybe I'll decide if I want to stay out in this crap south side of town. And so as I'm driving towards Dutch brothers, I do it one more time to kind of break off the ice. And my fingers stuck a little bit too much to the ice. Oh, shit.

And it pulled the windshield wiper off of its little arm. the removable windshield wiper replaceable part pulls it right off of the arm and kind of flips a little bit, lands back on the windshield, and I'm like, oh, and I'm watching the arm without the windshield wiper going back and forth, and I couldn't get it turned off quick enough. So basically landed on the arm, and then the arm went, fing! And flick the windshield wiper off my window, the disconnected windshield wiper. It's like, oh, crap. So, um, crap. So, um, I find a safe place to pull over. I walk back over there.

And just as I'm doing that, a car comes, doesn't see it probably, and runs over it. It breaks the plastic, fully breaks the plastic. Oh, shit. It's like great. Okay. And it's coming down. I, you know, I pick it up. I go back to my car.

I'm still pulled over the side with my hazards on, safe on the side of the road. No passenger fortune. I was going to ask. Was anybody in there, but it's just you at this point? No, I dropped somebody off and I was off to get some. coffee and and I'm like all right nearest auto parts place uh where's a where's a checker where's an auto zone where's a um you know advanced auto parts finding that advanced auto parts 11 minutes away so I'm like all right this stuff is coming down hard the snow's coming down hard

I've got no windshield wiper and I can't really use my other one because if I do the the exposed blade on the driver's side is just going to go back and forth over the window and and scrape it and you know do whatever who knows what to the glass maybe nothing uh so i go i'd still i'm right by the coffee place so i'm i still get coffee because what am i going to do and i um so i crank up the heat just to kind of have it melting i've got the heat up turned up to like 83 degrees in the car because i want it to melt heat up the glass enough to where the snow just kind of melts down the glass because i can see fine through that

I don't want snow to collect on it so I kind of open the window to kind of keep the rest of the car nice and cool so I don't melt in there get the coffee and I pull over and I'm like let me just see what I can do here

and I get the existing wiper on there to the point where it looks like it'll stay I don't want to really chance it I certainly don't want to drive home with the bad windshield wiper on there but at least it'll get me to the auto parts place. Sure.

So it's kind of wedged on there, and it still moves, and I don't want to turn, I certainly don't want to turn the windshield wipers on full blast, because I could just see it going, blot, or, catching, and then flying off again. Sure. So, uh, get run over again. Yeah, right, exactly, really have it get destroyed. Yeah. So I, um, uh, get down to the, uh, the auto parts place,

pick up a pair of blades. And guy tells me, check this out. We got a deal going on with Rainax. that right next to the manufacturer of the windshield wiper blades I picked up. And this is across the country, folks. So take this as like a nice little PSA. You buy your windshield wipers from advanced auto parts.

You pay an extra three bucks. And any time in the next 11 or next 12 months, basically you have a year to bring those wipers back, and they will give you a brand new pair. Oh, goodness. And you can do this. In perpetuity. What?

And so for three bucks a year, basically, I would do this. We have this problem all the time. It's so expensive every time you swap them out. It is. It is. And it's, you know, and especially, again, places where we live where there's ice on the window, it tears up your damn blades so bad after one winter, maybe two winters, that it like, you know, rips the rubber off of them.

Yeah. So just go every year. Like, basically he's like, yeah, you should do this. And like, really? He's like, dude, you're getting a brand new. pair of wipers, regardless of the condition you bring them back in, bring them back in 11 months and three weeks, get a brand new pair, and it's three bucks a year. It's like your, your, uh, your, it's like insurance. Would windshield wiper blade insurance for three bucks a year and you always

get a new pair? It's like, yeah, it would take me. Why wouldn't you ever, why would you not? Why is nobody know about this? I feel like nobody knows. I've never heard this. Yeah. So, crazy anyway I'm doing it certainly did that so I'm recommending everybody else do that yeah hurry and do it now before they before they catch on to how good a deal this is exactly yeah because I'm paying at least 25 bucks when I go replace those yeah if I do it myself if I do it just me right and you're let's say you're replacing them every and that's one wiper is 24 bucks yeah I should make that clear you're never doing both at the same time or if you are it's 50 60 so if you think about it that's replacing like if you're doing the this three months three bucks a year that's basically like i'm paying for these wipers every eight years

but you're getting brand new ones every year so damn yeah damn all right so so psa they came with brian flicking a windshield wiper blade off of his car while he's uh while he's driving well look at it's great there's a two percent chance that you were going to get such a good deal right yeah exactly uh all right let's move on to yeah we got the half asses you know it's all cued up yeah it's just a done away away really it's just a done away i really ought to log in too that would help if i was in the game here we go i see you both in there now yeah we should be um but then the question is will done away answer the call and i'm confident that he will because i see him in the chat i'm gonna vote there's more than a two percent chance he's going to answer oh yeah at least three four something like that yeah yeah

We're going to play a game We're going to do it with our old pal Brian Dunaway Calls in each and every Monday and Wednesday From the beautiful The area known as South Carolina Beautiful state Lovely place to be and live, you know? You're not having trouble with your windshield wipers down there, are you?

It's all good. Oh, hi Scott and Brian. I replace my windshield wipers about once every eight years. That sounds right. You know why? Because you got nice humid air That keeps the rubber nice and supple. you guys were saying you guys are talking about you don't replace both of them at once I'm like of course you do we always replace ours at the same time yeah you just go to the advanced auto and they just change them out for you because yours don't crack and break and turn into brittle nothing because of the high altitude and low humidity like you guys are living the dream you don't have any you don't have any salt damage on the underside of your car either do you well you got to get no we do not no we do not very rarely and I get mad whenever they salt the roads I'm like just let it melt just let it melt yeah it's going to

to take like a day. Come on. You got to get that true coat. Just kidding. All right. Hey, it's good to have you here, man. We're going to play a game. Brian, of course, knows all the rules and who's going to be stand to win some prizes. Brian, let's take it away from there. Let's go. What's going on? Right. Let's just shorten this. Get one right, one point, two, right, three.

I'm just kidding. It's time to play the morning. How fast is a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving you the answers. I'm going to be giving you guys a category and six possible answers, three of which are correct in three like trying to get that windshield wiper deal at any place besides advanced. auto parts is incorrect. Depending on how confident you feel the category, you can provide one, two, or three guesses. But if any of those guesses are wrong, you get the zero points

for that round. Get one right, gets you a point, two right, gets you three points, and three right gets you five points. We'll add up the points at the end, and the player with the most points wins a prize for their proxy contestant. Who are these proxy contestants we're talking about? Well, Scott, you're playing for Connor David in, or DeVitt, in Columbus, Ohio. Nice. I like Columbus. I love a great place. Yeah. Brian, you're playing. for Austin Orman in Tennessee. Oh, Tennessee. Oh, hi, Tennessee. Hey.

Hello, Tennessee. Keeping it in the south over there. Okay. That's right. Hey, before we get started, can you tell me which games are the best ones? Because I feel like every week that I win is always like, Scott goes, but who really won was the person who came in. So suck it.

Well, you tell me, I'll tell you the three games, you tell me how I should group them. Uh, chroma gun, frog detective two, the case of the invisible wizard, and downward enhanced Okay. So in this particular case this week, your first one, Chroma Gun, Frog Detective 2, Invisible Wizard, or Case of Invisible Wizard, are excellent. This is the winner group up here. The bottom one I can't speak to because I've not played downward enhanced edition unless it's the downward I'm thinking of. Hold on. I played upward. Is that the same? Is it the one with the black and white? I don't know. I think it's the one that's, let me just make sure. Downward game. If it's what I think it is, it's an excellent game, but this might still be. I don't know. one at all. Downward Enhanced. You know what? I don't know what this one is.

So, as a result, I'm going to go ahead and put my money on my 2% chance that the first two games. Oh, I do know this one, though. Oh, you kind of keep going down. Okay, it's kind of cool, though. Yeah, no, this one's cool. The first person open world parkour-based platform adventure set in the medieval ruins of post-apocalyptic planet Earth.

Damn, that sounds great. It seems cool. Yeah, the reviews are decent. And I think they're, so yeah, Dunaway's right. This is a, this is a day where everybody wins. No one's losing today. Yeah, this looks really, really. Bring it out.

All right, all right, good. Well, let's get to it then. You guys are both in. Let's get to question number one. Authors who had work prohibited by the Catholic Church. So which of these are authors that had some of their work prohibited by the Catholic Church? Your choices are. Nothing more.

There we go. Renee Descartes, Adolf Hitler, Anne Rand, Charles Darwin, Victor Hugo, and John Milton. Einrand. I'm sorry, Ein Rand. Thank you. Ein Rand. Yeah.

Fountainhead, yes. No, no, no. You're absolutely right. Ein Rand. I want to be. Wow. Some of these seem obvious. Right.

But does that usually work out when it's obvious? Right. It's like, they're like, I don't know. All right. So I'm going to go with the obvious ones. It's going to go with the obvious ones. There we go. These are all obvious ones.

It seems like a duh for the Catholic Church. Okay, cool. Yeah, always known for getting it right, the Catholic Church. They never screw up. Right, exactly. It'll always be the ones that make the most sense, right? All right. So you guys both pick Charles Darwin.

I want to focus right now on this one on Brian Denouye, who went with Charles Darwin, Adolf Hitler, and Einrand. All three of those are. are wrong. Yes, I knew it. It's actually the other ones. It's Victor Hugo and John Milton, Paradise. Paradise lost John Milton.

Yeah. It probably was Paradise Lost that got prohibited. I mean, the Darwin one I thought was both obvious and also correct. Yeah, that's one I picked when I did this one before I looked at the answers. Yeah, but there was a time there where they were like, oh, it looks like here. might do some he might win i think we'll back that bastard i think we'll be behind this right so uh yeah sometimes people try to pick the winners before they're winners so sure sure let's go to question number two we'll see if you have better luck with this one you should because it's a uh band we all know

and love oh good which of these are are metallica songs which of these are songs by the band metallica your choices are picking any easy ones could you you you're looking for uh enter sandman Are you new to this? Your choices are, even now, The Wait, Orion, Sondra, Prince Charming, and read them and weep. Can you sing each of these like Metallica for me, please? Even no. Even no. The Napster Bad, the weight.

Even now. I have made my choices. Have you? I don't know if I pick I pick a two Okay By choices Scott you've locked in

With just one Oh I wanted to fool him You've lucked in on two Yes you did It was a good choice It was very smart Master right

Well see if it's Yeah I only know one of these I think The other one feels like Yeah Well Scott you lucked in On read them and weep Brian you lucked in

On the wait And Orion Uh Even now Sondra And read them and weep are all songs by Barry Manilow. Oh, shit.

The late Orion and Prince Charming are Metallica songs. Damn it. Dead away three points. How did you know that? You're a bigger fan than me, I guess. What's the one you knew, Brian? You said you knew one of those for sure. Yeah, Ryan.

That was, yeah. Yeah. I thought there was a older, yeah. Sound, read them and weep, 100% sounds like a metallic song. That is a lyric. That is definitely a lyric. All right. But yeah, I mean, yeah, that, that,

that album I listened to a pretty good bit. All right. Well done. A jerk. Three to zero. Geez, on one question. I know. That was a big swing. Well, that's all right. Because the last question is sports, and I know how much you guys both love the sports questions here. Which of these are objects that you get awarded for winning a golf tournament? These are objects awarded for winning golf tournaments.

The choices are the Stripe Jacket, the Wanamaker Trophy, the Venus Rosewater Dish, the Solheim Cup, the ashes urn, and the claret jug. Three of those. I don't know what the claret jug is, but good Lord, I don't want that to be it. I don't know what any of these are. I love how all these things are jackets or dishes or trophies and then jug. He's got to be right, though, right? Maybe they have a jug.

I mean, that sounds kind of Scottish, like OG award. Right, right. Congratulations. You've won't. the jug golf tournaments i don't know man i'm just gonna yeah that looks that looks right all right they're always they're always excited about those i'm just gonna i'm just gonna do this i'm i need to go for it so there you do need to go for it all right go for it well you both selected the stripe jacket we'll come back to that one in a second because um i know there's a jacket but i'm i have

feeling you're tricking us there's there's like a yellow there's like the gold jacket or is that just there's a green there's a green jacket okay okay maybe i'm just thinking of uh uh oh adam sandler's movie why why i'm a blanking on right now uh billy madison happy happy happy gilmore yeah that's right yeah milmore that's right milmore that's right milmore milmore happy billy milmore happy gabbasston there you go uh let's go to the other two that scott selected scott had to go for it for three right so the other two chose were the Solheim Cup and the claret jug

both of those are correct oh shit snap I'm screwed did the striped jacket get us or did it so if the striped jacket is one of the prizes one of the options is the third one Scott wins

if it is not then Brian wins oh my gosh I love it when it comes down to this very intense the answer is the want to make the trophy sadly the Water American Trophy. Stripe Jacket just doesn't even exist. The Venus Rosewater

Dish is given to tennis tournaments and the Ashes Urn really is given to cricket tournament winners. Really? Yeah. So the Stripe Jacket is just a, that's just a It's supposed to make you think of the green jacket which is what you get for the Masters and that's

Yeah. Yeah. And I knew there was a jacket but I couldn't remember the descriptor. Sure. Sure. Sure. Shaped that sounded right. I should have stuck. Well, it If I'd have stuck with it, too, I would only been... At least I'd have points on the board, damn it. You'd have died. Yeah.

I should have done it. But that's all right. But that's okay. You know, still a fun game. Congratulations going to Brian. Brian, because of that, Austin Ormond in Tennessee is getting the chroma gun and frog detective two. Yeah.

The case of the invisible wizard. All of these, by the way, courtesy of King Kimaza. Let me, well, I want to make sure I... Sorry, King Kim Mazabi. Yeah, I did say right. King Quimazabi, Quimazabi, Quimzabi. Quimazabi. They've given us a pronunciation guide, but they still put QUI, so I don't know if we pronounce it QAzabi or Kimizabi. Yeah, like Kima Sabi, but Kimizabi, right?

Right, right. Like it's like QUI is in how it would be pronounced in Spanish key. Yeah, I'm not sure. He'll, he'll, he's done this a few times, but maybe he'll find, we'll get a real answer finally. Provide yet another pronunciation guide. Yeah. But don't worry, other player who's named, there we go. Don't worry, Connor in Columbus, you're also getting a parkour game that sounds actually really cool for this description. Yeah, it looks good too. I looked at some of the video.

It looked really nice. And the only ones I can speak to are Chromagun and Frog Detective 2. But in particular, Frog Detective 2 is a delightful little who done it, like, figure out the mystery thing. It's real good. The Frog did it. Yeah. It's also really good on Steam Deck if you happen to have one. Awesome.

Well, well done, everybody. I think that's pretty much a winner all around for everyone but me. So that feels good. We had fun, did we not? No, we did have fun. We did it along the way. Yeah, I still have to play this for me, though. I still have to eat that.

But anyway, done away, look, we'll try it again on Wednesday with the Tad Pooley feud. We'll see if you can keep your streak alive. How do you feel walking out here today? You feel good? I think I'm going to go play some pole position. Why don't you kiss? my butt. That is Friday's game.

Can you believe we're going all the way back, man, some arcade business and that weird we're gonna talk about that weird cartoon they made which should not exist. It's really like

a whole position cartoon. Yeah, like 13 episodes. It was amazing. I loved it. It's terrible and great. Like they don't, Brian,

try to imagine. I have more glad to believe Scott than I didn't believe Brian Donnoe in this place. He basically, did you like Speed Racer? No. Okay.

If you didn't like Speed Racer, you probably won't like it. But what's weird about it. Here's the, shut up. You know the answer to that. Here's what's funny, though. The game is about racing. That's it.

That's all pole position is. Get in the car, race, don't lose. That's the game. The show decides to take it in this like, these kids are like spies, and we're going to go solve crimes and do dumb shit. It's so bad, but it's great as a result. So it's speed buggy with pole position.

Yeah, kind of. That's right. Talking cars is awesome. Once a Mustang, one's a futuristic car. Is it any more egregious than making a movie based on a board game where you just guess numbers and put pegs into battleships? That's actually a really good point. That's actually a really good point. When they, I mean, this thing only lasted, would you say 13 episodes or something?

It's a season, yeah, season 13 episodes, half season. So it's obvious that it did not have the legs to continue, but I do recommend watching it if you're listening to us. Go watch that. It is free. I think you can watch all episodes on YouTube. Dick is not trying to keep this from you. No. No, Dick, Dick wants to give a DIC. Yeah, DIC. Oh, oh, gotcha.

Yeah, not DICJ. Well, all right, Dick, done away. Have a fantastic week, and we'll see you Wednesday. Kiss my butt. All right, there he goes. Wow. He's out of here. All right, before we get to Bobby, you'll be joining us shortly.

This break is brought to us by somebody, Brian. Who is it? Yes, brought to you by professional wrestling referee and tadpuller. Jaina Pride. Jaina is tag teaming with advocates for transgender equality and calling on everybody to be brave in these times with a new shirt and fundraiser for transgender equality. 100% of profits go to benefit A4-T-E and their mission.

Be braver. Hey, I like that. Quick note, Brian, and last night I was watching TNG in the background. And look who showed up on this episode of season three. Oh, yeah. It's, uh, what's his face? It's Ray Wise from your, uh, Twin Peaks guy. Yeah.

Yeah. Bob. Yeah. He thought the, yeah, that's the one. He thinks the Picard is a god. He thinks, uh, yeah. So he has to try to try to. He tries to sacrifice somebody to prove that they have this God.

He tries to convince everybody, his whole other population about it. Yeah, it's a very good episode. I had a good time with it. Cheesy and also a pretty good commentary. Anyway, we're going to take a break. When we come back from that break, Bobby will be here. We got some science to get through. So that's coming up, not get through.

I don't want to make sound like work. It's not work, right? We like science. No, absolutely is exactly. It's something we get excited about, look forward to. Right. But there's this little bit of science, which is no science until music. So music first, then science.

Play us a song. How about some hard rock? A band called Dark Remedy. They've just released their powerful new single. It's called Let Me Go. This actually premiered on Sirius XM's Octane before, but you're hearing it here second. Let's just say you're hearing it here second. Written by Jared Beasley and Chris Dawson, it delves into themes of personal struggle and liberation

resonating deeply with fans of alternative and active rock. Just want to see where these guys are from, and I can't tell. Somewhere awesome, probably, right? Some are great. Somewhere great, I think Mobile, Alabama may be because they're beginning their tour in Mobile, Alabama. So that might be where they hail from. I don't know. I could totally be wrong.

Anyway, the band is Dark Remedy. The song is Let Me Go. I know I shouldn't call you, but it's way too much. I've given you everything, but it's not enough. I'm trapped up in all of this pain. I'm tired of playing you again So pick up your phone because I know you're alone And I need to say

Why don't you let me go Before I lose myself I don't want to be someone else You know that we can't hold all I'm begging you let me go And I know this hurts Trying on not to meet things worse All that we'll have is gone

Why don't you let me go? I know we've been holding on for way too long It's really all for me to see where things went wrong We both said that we'd make a change But somehow this shit stayed the same Why do we do this when no? No one deserves it our way insane I'm holding home

Why don't you let me go Before I lose myself I don't want to be someone else You know that we can hold on I'm begging you let me go And I know this hurts Trying on not to make things worse All that we'll have is gone

Why don't you let me go Why don't you let me go? Why don't you let me go? How could I apologize? Don't want you to think I'm heartless Because why can you live is a harmless part? We're living in a light in the dark And I don't want to feel this way

We need to move on Why don't you let me go Before I lose myself I don't want to be someone I know that we can hold on I'm begging you let me go And I know this hurts Trying I not to make things worse

All that will have is gone Why don't you let me Go go go go Go go go I'm begging you let me Go go go go go Go go go go time you spend trying to get back what's been took from you, more is going out the door.

After a while, you just have to try to get a tourniquid on it. In the house? In your pants. And we returned. Tell me who that was again, please. Sure. That is the band Dark Remedy. Their brand new single is called Let Me Go.

No news on an album, but they are going on tour in April. Nice. That's great. Yeah. I have been to Mobile, Alabama, and I really liked it there. I thought it was nice. I don't know if I have. And we had the Mobile Register.

Mobile Register. Oh, I can't remember the name of the Newspirit. They were a customer, but I didn't do that install. Oh, gotcha. It was humid, but so was everywhere else down there, so I don't know why that shouldn't even be a thing. But it was nice. There was a lot of cool people there. I thought, I wouldn't mind some quiet time in Alabama, you know?

Apparently there's, so my sister who went with, sorry, my sister, my wife, my wife, my wife, she went. It's not getting any better. No, it really isn't. She went with her sisters to a beach in Alabama that is apparently like this underrated, no one knows about it, incredible spa beach like resort that's. like affordable and like incredible and i forgot the name of it but apparently there's something there that's just like the best thing in the world so we're going to try to go there again just us cool yeah i think it sounds like fun uh all right we are where are we we are pulling in bobby

that's what we're doing yeah yeah he's coming in with or without uh warning no he's has warning he knows what's up you've had your warning yeah peace and love you know what's going on bobby Stuckin with folks, I wanted to come up with a t-shirt that says, I'm warning you with peace and love and just have it in like a 60s-looking fun. No mention of Ringo, and I think I won't get sued if I do a T-shirt. Yeah, I think you can. I'm warning you with peace and life. I think you totally can.

And we'll all know what it means. And those who don't will be curious and then they'll find out themselves. And Ringo's none the wiser. That's right. He's not paying him time. But if I catch you with that shirt, I'm chucking it in the bin. In the bin with peace and love. Was he part of the S&L thing or is it just McCartney?

Just McCartney. Yeah, it would have been great if he would have shown up because early on Lauren Michaels on the show said, I will give $300 to the Beatles if they reunite on the show. And it was a little gag, and then they had George Harrison actually show up and say, does it have to be all of us? That's great. It would have been great if they would have had Ringo and McCartney show up and say, how about the remaining live Beatles?

Yeah, that would have been amazing. They didn't, unfortunately. You get what you get for 50 years. Yeah, what you get. Exactly. All right, check this out, y'all. There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill? Why is that playing?

We have Bobby. Yeah, why is that playing? That's not the, it's labeled wrong. I hope this joke lasts forever. It will never to go away. All right. What's great is, it's not a joke, Bonnie. No. Yeah, what you call a joke, I call a full-on mistake.

All right, here we go. This is the one. Bob is hungry, and the soup looks good. All right, that's more familiar for the guy who's on now. Hey, everybody, look who it is. It's Bobby Frankenberger. I just hung out with him yesterday making the instance. That was fun.

We had a good time. It was a lot of fun. Yeah, had a great episode. If you guys want to hear all about the big patch coming out on the 24th, we went deep. Brian, you should check it out because you might want to raid this season. because we're going to Vegas, basically, for the raid. Oh, is there a new area that's kind of like a goblin? It's got to be a cobblum.

You're absolutely right. Tell them what the name of the thing is, I forgot. It's the Galagio. The Galagio. Really? Yeah, and they have a new currency in the game that is Galagio, is it member perks? What do they call it? Membership Perc card or something like that.

They're clearly riffing on like all the stupid membership. stuff you do in Vegas and fees and everything. That's almost like players, clubs and stuff. That it's almost enough to to bring me back. Almost. There's also racing, you can race cars in it. Does that help you? Is that put you in there? That doesn't do anything for me.

All right, we'll see how it goes. One of my least favorite sports simulations and car racing games the least interesting, except for wipeout. Wipeout was the, even though it's not car, the same kind of thing. That's the only one that I really like. Yeah, you make them hover and you give us some good techno, you're in.

Exactly. That's all the music, right, exactly. Oh, it's so good. Well, Bobby, you're here. We're going to talk about science, not World Warcraft, and there turns out there is some science floating around out there. Yes. Scientific stuff. Before I get into what I was going to tell you about,

I wanted to make a correction that the asteroid you were talking about. Yeah. It's like YR2 or YR4. It is not an extinction level event if it hits Earth. Isn't? I thought it was not a planet not a planet killer how come no it's not I thought it's not big enough it would it would wipe out a city for sure yeah um but it would not uh it would not cause so okay let's let's explore this a little bit because my understanding was and I believe you but like it I was told somebody told me if a thing was the size of a Volkswagen that was enough to take out like most of the earth so why have I been told that why is that a thing I don't I don't know why you've been told that maybe that was a Jerry Brookheimer misleading you. Maybe.

Well, and because this one's pretty big, it's, uh, it could be as big as a football field, which, or a, or a Spanish villa, of course. Yeah. Of course. Oh, well, why did you start with Spanish? Yeah, sorry, I should have just said Spanish Villa. That makes a lot more sense. Sure.

Um, but, uh, it, it would, um, it would wipe out a city and probably do a lot of damage around a city. Like, everybody in the city would probably be dead, but, uh, would you get fallout from that to adjoining, like, let's say it hit Idaho, would other, states feel the effects? I know it's not the same as radiant fallout, but you'd still have some of those effects, right? Like, you're going to kick a ton of debris up into the air, and that's going to float

everywhere. There'd probably be localized, like, and when I say localized, I mean, maybe in the surrounding states, there would be, like, stuff in the air for a while, sure. All right. But people in the surrounding states wouldn't, that would be the only impacts that they would feel. Could we pick the city? Yeah, oh, yeah, can we pick the city? city that's a great idea unfortunately no it probably won't hit anything actually um the uh if it does hit so you got to be you got to you have to be sure that if there was a 2% chance

that life on earth like the planet would be destroyed people would be a little bit more worried about it oh i would think so right like um but there's a 2% chance that yeah we'll get hit but that's probably in the next few months going to drop to 0% chance the way it works um it Always, whenever they find these asteroids that might have a chance of being in the path, like Earth might be in the path, as they gather more data, as it gets closer, they can narrow down the prediction, right? And so what that means is, it's actually really interesting why always, whenever an asteroid is predicted to have a chance of hitting Earth, for a little while that percentage chance

starts to increase every day and then it increases more and more until finally it just drops to zero and the reason is it's hard to describe this without it being visual but imagine you have like a big giant circle that is the area that

something might hit and you're inside that circle somewhere not in the center of the circle somewhere not in the center of the circle but maybe off to the side right okay so that big circle is the error like the potential areas that could be hit by this thing and you're off to the side somewhere inside the circle as the circle gets smaller but you're still inside it the odds increase right because your prediction is getting better and better but then once then once the circle closes small enough that you're no longer in it it would drop to zero because you're not in the predicted path anymore

okay does that make sense yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah. No, that makes sense. So that's likely what's going to happen. It'll continue to increase slowly. And then before long, it'll just be zero. We won't be in the path. But if it does hit us, it's very unlikely to hit the ground anywhere. It's probably just going to hit the ocean.

The earth is mostly ocean. And I think they found the path that if it were to hit Earth, the path that it went across would be mostly unpopulated areas. Because the most, the majority, excuse me, the majority of the earth is, ocean or desert right so yeah we tend to forget how much land there is or ocean or water there is uh or an uninhabitable north and south pole stuff where nobody is or i guess they're you know people out there testing stuff so too bad for them but the chances are this thing's not going to land it's like it's going to hit baltimore i just know it it's not going to work that way it's very very

unlikely um the um does it ever go up though like is they get you you mentioned like the percentage drops down the more the more calculations they have and stuff why doesn't it go up ever no it goes in the other direction the more the closer it gets the the percentage will go up the confidence level will go up the percentage will go up until we're no longer until the path shrinks the the range shrinks far enough that we're not in it anymore and then it goes to zero well that's what i mean like why isn't it why why not the other why not the opposite of that like just because of the way it works just because of the way the calculations work okay the your confidence gets higher and if you're still in the range of possibilities that means that you're still

in somewhere inside that smaller zone so you you take up a smaller percentage of that smaller range right yeah or you take up a larger percentage of that smaller range of possible places until you're no longer in it anymore so a quick search of what would it take to do a complete earth destruction uh it would need to be mars sized or so according to you to the search that I just did. I would imagine it would be, I mean, to destroy the Earth completely, sure. Mars is pretty big.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I would think even half that size would be enough. I don't think if it's Mars-sized, it's an asteroid anymore. No, it's a planet, isn't it, at that point? It's a planetoid, but global catastrophe, about 10 kilometers in diameter. Yeah, and so this one at the most is the size of a football field,

so like 300 meters. They had one, what's the tongue? Tungusa event? Do you know about this? That's what I was going to say. The Tunguska event was an asteroid that was about the same size as this one that might hit us. And it was, it hit

it hit the Siberia, somewhere in Siberia and just wiped out a big area of that. So we've had them and that was in the 1800s, I think that that happened. And so we've had asteroids this size hit the earth.

in you know human history so interesting so that's yeah so it says here 1908 2,000 square kilometers of forest uh just wiped just wiped so if if the on the very unlikely event that it hit a populated area obviously this would be catastrophic in that in that range but we're not talking about something I don't know why you know what it is probably movies thanks a lot Michael bay and everybody else you show me these things that hit and then they they're always, like, right in the middle of New York. Of course. You know, it was Morgan Freeman, it was Paris.

Yeah. It was Morgan Freeman telling us now, if it was a media, the size of a Volkswagen, it would take the entire. Exactly. My favorite line from that movie is, um, with Morgan Freeman, that one is, uh, deep impact. He describes why we can't do certain things to deflect it. And he's, and he says, uh, you know, if, if something collided into it, it would, uh, it would, um, it would hit it. it like a billiard ball and I just I have that him saying like a billiard ball in my head like no it's I was that so that was deep impact he was the president in that

yeah yeah okay where is Danny Glover a president and something like this is that 2012 that might be 2012 maybe it's 2012 yeah Danny Glover's the president who's like well I guess we're screwed yeah I'm getting too old for this shit I've mixed all my all my president's up. All right. That's what Joe Biden said. Yeah, you did.

And it's president's day. What a perfect time for us to have this discussion. This is great. All right. Well, let's get to what you brought. Yeah, so what I did come here to talk about is that it was in the news that scientists have detected the most energetic neutrino ever recorded to go through Earth. and with a new detector that they're setting up

out in the Mediterranean Sea and it's it was able to detect neutrinos which is a big deal by itself and they were able to collect a lot of data from it but the real news is that this detector was being set up in February of 2023 it takes a while for them to

kind of let us know the details because physicists are very careful they want to confirm all their results and all that kind of stuff so So a neutrino is a, for those are not aware, it's like elemental particle, right? What does it mean when there's like a new one? So it's not, they're not detecting a new neutrino, a new trino. They're just, this is the most energetic one they've ever detected.

Okay, so it's not like it's a new, it's not like, oh my gosh, we didn't know this, this particular base element or not elements, not the right word, but this element. No, they barely had some Red Bull. Yeah, it's just stoked. It's just caffeinated to hell. back this thing. That's right. Yeah, exactly. What does that imply, though, when you say energetic? What does that mean? So, I mean, just every particle has a lot of energy in it, right? Because it's moving and it has mass. Yeah. So that has a lot of energy. Force is mass times velocity, right?

But so the real news, it's cool that we've detected this, but the cool part about this news is that this detector that they've put in the Mediterranean Sea, they weren't even done putting it together before it's detected this thing so presumably you think like wow this must be a really good detector it's really set up to to detect all these things

and so that's really cool but anyway so a neutrino they're really hard to detect as you said a neutrino is a subatomic particle they're everywhere they're incredibly abundant in the universe you literally right now

have more than 10 trillion neutrinos passing through your body every second 10 trillion 10 trillion I can now I'm thinking I can feel it now

just kidding I can't yeah so you may be wondering why are they so hard to detect because we don't detect them very often yeah we've got neutrino detectors

that have detected some neutrinos before but just not quite this energetic if you ever have seen on documentaries like science documentaries you know where they like to do this one shot when they do particle physics

of somebody in a boat inside this like giant dome thing that has water in the bottom with all these like golf balls stuck to the side of the wall. Oh yeah. You know what I'm talking about? That's a neutrino detector. It's actually that one that they're always filming in. I think one in Japan and uh the way these work is they're filled with tons and tons of water and they're filled with tons of water because so as I was saying neutrinos are really hard to detect and the reason is because they don't interact with matter hardly at all. That's why you even though you have 10 trillion passing through you, you, right now and then another 10 trillion right now and then another now you can't feel them

because they're not actually interacting with your body because they are they're very small they're not charged they're uncharged

which means they don't they're not affected by the like electromagnetic forces because they have no charge and they have such a tiny mass they're not affected by gravity very much

and but So they're very, very small. They're moving very, very fast. They're produced in things like exploding stars, supernova, black holes. But they're also just the product of radioactive decay. So actually bananas is always the example that are used. Bananas are emitting because bananas decay and have radioactive decay in them. They're always producing neutrinos all the time.

That'd be true of anything that decays, though? like a human body I don't know If this A particular type of decay So what produces neutrinos Is the weak force It's weak

Which is a It's beta decay Or I think it's The neutrinos are by beta minus decay I'm not sure I'm not a particle physicist But I do know That it's beta decay

That produces Neutrinos And George decay When he dies He will put off neutrinos as well Yeah for sure You'll have George decay Decay

They're waiting They're going to bury inside that Japanese neutrino detector. Yeah. Yeah, for no reason that it's Japanese, for no reason. Yeah. Now, that's interesting. So whenever this stuff happens, the takeaway is what?

Like, oh, they can hold more, like, I know one of the more recent things is they were always thought to be massless neutrinos. But now there's, like, thoughts that they, there is some measurable mass to them. Yeah, they definitely have mass. I think the only things, I'm going to say this. carefully, and I could be wrong. Like I said, I don't know a ton about particle physics, but I think the only massless particles are different variations of

photons. Which are light particles, right? Yeah, different light particles. I think those are the only ones that are massless because, I mean, that's how they can go the speed of light, the speed of themselves. That's why they can go so fast is because they have no mass but it requires a lot of water that's why they're building them in the Mediterranean Sea

it requires the way we detect them is through water because what will happen is whenever one of these neutrinos passes through water if it happens to hit one of the molecules or one of the atoms

in the water what it'll do is it'll hit that atom and it'll cause that atom to kick off an electron because it just hits it and then through the force of its strike it kicks off an electron or I think it actually just straight up produces a new

electron and then it shoots out that electron because of the energy of these neutrinos going so so so so fast the electron that shoots out is moving faster than light travels through water and so that

causes a special type of a special effect called the Charenkhov effect and it causes a blue glow in the water whenever the electron shoots off so what that means is that if you put light detectors in the water

which is again in those in those you know neutrino detectors that you've seen where they've got all those like spheres all over the walls those are light detectors and so they're waiting for this event to happen and then they would detect the the characteristic blue glow from a shrink off radiation from from a neutrino hitting one of the atoms in the water and then then they know that it happened that was a they can say oh there was a neutrino that just and then they can gather a bunch of data about the trajectory of the of the electron and all this kind of stuff how are they not just constantly smacking into water molecules because that's how rarely they interact with that's wild to me it has to it really has to like hit it straight on and at

those scales matter seems like it's pretty dense to us on our scales but at those scales matter is there's a lot of space between all these different tiny particles so around two percent you're saying somewhere in the two percent range something like two percent yeah okay good you got a two percent smaller than that and so they um they that's why they wanted to put it in the mediterranean sea because these these these um these detectors these these neutrino detectors even they seem pretty big and they're full of water but they're as big as they are they still don't detect

very much and so if you are if you put a ton of these things they have like right now 600 spherical detectors put into like a three dimensional grid in three and a half kilometers below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea and they're just sitting there waiting

to detect things and they've detected the most that they've it was so energetic that they were able to detect 28,000 photons which doesn't sound like a lot 28,000 photons is not very much in the grand scheme of things but it's way more than we've detected than we typically detect in

in a regular neutrino detector so obviously when it comes to physics these are major milestones within the physics world most people hear this and go they probably want to ask so what is the what does it mean for us doesn't mean anything what's the what's how

is this going to help? Yeah, or is there, what is the advancement that we would think of? Like, you know, it's obvious when somebody says, hey, we found out the moon is not made of cheese, it's made of, whatever. Like, we find out some of this stuff at a basic level and we go, okay, that reframes my view of the universe. Does this do any of that?

It does. Well, so what it's going to, if they have these detectors that can detect these neutrinos at a higher rate and they can more easily detect neutrinos, it's going to help us, it basically gives us a better tool, a better telescope really

to have a higher resolution for things that are that are really hard for us to get a lot of information about right now. So neutrinos are made in very high energy events in the universe. So in the middle of a, like I said, in stars exploding. A lot

of them are coming from the Big Bang still. They're coming from that far back in time, but also in or in and around black holes. blazars, all these crazy high-energy events in the universe. But the problem is these events don't produce just neutrinos. They produce lots of things that we've detected plenty of before.

But because all these other particles that are more massive and also interact with other forces like the electromagnetic force and gravity and all that, in the middle of these high-energy events, in the middle of a star, for example, it's they get they they they're they're changed and and and warped and their trajectories change you know like if anything that leaves the center of the sun for example is is being pulled on by gravity it's being bounced around by the by the plasma and the electron electromagnetic forces around the sun and and they're just bounced around so you don't know a lot about what what it was doing when it was first made all you really know about the particle when it finally reaches us is what it was doing when it finally

escaped the influence of the sun. But because neutrinos do not interact with hardly anything and they're so hard to detect, then we can get a much better picture of what was going on with that neutrino as soon as it was made. So deep into the center of stars and these explosions. And so it gives us a higher resolution image of what's happening in those very difficult to see events in the universe, which would give us more information about what's going on. And so advance our understanding of these types of things. I love this stuff. Real quick, you mentioned Blazar.

It is not a popular Japanese anime. Okay. It is actually described as this, an active galactic nucleus or an AGN with a relativistic, relativistic, thank you, jet, or jet composed of ionized matter traveling at nearly

the speed of light directly or very nearly toward an observer. That's a bunch of science talk for a very cool effect. I'm looking at some pictures here. I'd never heard of a blazer

until you said it. So this is exciting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the center of a galaxy, scientists are starting to think that most, if not all, galaxies have like a big core with a supermassive black hole

in it. and uh and so yeah when blazar they shoot a jet of of energy and particles and everything from the two poles from going out in both directions from the center and so they think that so that's what a blazar is when it's pointing at us and we can detect it yeah we call it a blazer the Chevy blazar get one this fall yes uh well this is great I love this stuff and I love having you on to talk about them the good news is you have a show that's all about science called all around science and And it is a weekly podcast where you guys dig deep into some of these issues and some of these things that are being discovered. Tell people more about it and where they can get it. It's all around science, as you said. Me and my co-host, Mora, we talk about science news and just fun stuff in science. The episode that just came out today was our, was a big, we celebrated one of our milestones. I think I've said before that we don't celebrate like typical round numbered milestones, like 100 episodes, 200 episodes.

We celebrate them whenever we get to an episode number that is on the first. Fibonacci sequence. Smart. I love it. Oh, my lord. That's great. So this was episode 233. So that's one of our Fibonacci celebration episodes. And also 233 happens

to also be a prime number. So we asked all of our listeners to send us questions inspired by the word prime. So we got questions about prime beef. You got questions about prime movers in the universe. Optimus Prime? You get any Optimus Prime? We did have a question.

about Optimist Prime, yeah. Sweet. Roll out. That's fantastic. That's great. That was our prime episode that just came out today. So give that a listen. R. Deluxe. You guys are huge nerds. By the way, I've noticed, I was looking, while you were talking about the Japanese underground neutrino detector thing, 100 million dollars this thing, I was watching just a brief

little video. And the guy who's in charge over there, this dude here, he's got a lot of bobby hair. I think maybe we found a common scientific deal going on. here with all the yeah look at that it's got to be the hair yeah a doppel doppelganger your doppelganger in japan looking like uh you know it's got similar hairstyle and beard i like it anyway to give him a call bobby this fantastic float around in a boat inside that thing every science communicator that ever talks about neutrinos is filmed in a boat inside that detector it's i've seen it so many times yeah i'm gonna go i'm gonna go watch this thing it's just a three-minute video but it's This is really good on YouTube.

If you guys haven't seen their series on there, it's very, very good stuff. Bobby, have a fantastic two weeks, and we'll see you next time. Bye now. All right, see ya. Oh, and don't forget the Instance thing I told you guys about. We just did that episode, and it was great. Frogvance.com slash instance. It was a very fun episode.

All right. Brian, that's about it for us, except for one more thing. An anonymous person wrote a text in about Matt finished cars. You were talking about maybe getting one. Yeah, yeah. he says regarding Brian's potential choice for a gray vehicle it does look cool but it blends right in with the asphalt from a safety standpoint as someone who works a job that sees traffic accidents daily I advise against it says this person I haven't heard that before gray doesn't see that one I've heard a lot of other reasons not to get the the mat vehicle or I guess he's just saying gray yeah maybe he'd mean any other color maybe he's okay I don't know yeah um you see the gray a lot that's probably he said about the matte finished car So did he put that or did you put that? He put that.

So the mat, so matte gray is the problem. Yeah. Reflective shiny gray. Yeah. And if you did like a matte finish any other color, like a black, like a forest green or something. I think I've just moved away from doing the mat, the matte painted vehicle because the stuff I've been seeing in line, regardless of, you know, the hand washing, that I could probably deal with. Yeah. But the, it's the fact.

that scratches and any sort of blemish, you've got less protection from that thing. I watched a YouTube video from a car and driver thing that's like, yeah, this is, it's one that you are constantly worried about because a little stone, a little tiny pebble on the road, and God knows we get a lot of them in Colorado because of sanding the roads when there's ice and stuff like that. Last thing I need is to have to sit there and be worried.

worried about nicks and scratches and stuff like that. I didn't think about like the glossy finish acts as another layer of protection. Yeah, it's or the coat, it's the coat above the glossy finish that gives it the shine that acts as like a, I don't know if it's, I don't know if it's true coat. Well, you got to get that true coat. Underguard. Someone in the chat said it's so 2010 to get a matte finish car, really? I don't remember him being a big deal back in 20s. Exactly.

I think, uh, I feel like I've only started seeing them. like the last four or five years yeah they seem recent to me too but maybe i wasn't paying attention in 2010 i don't know um yeah you could do the wrapped mat there's a lot of wrapped options and the wrap acts as a protection thing somebody my neighbor did that basically his his his mat finished one of his teslas mat finished is a rap not interesting so over the over the shiny yeah over whatever stock i don't know what it was when he got it but decided against the mat yeah um probably still going black though so as long as I don't drive on any black asphalt I should be fine by the way so this just reminds me something glad we brought this up um in the see if I can find where I posted it

I put it on blue sky most people thought I was trying to be political with it I wasn't um but I have this neighbor behind us totally different neighbor he's he has a cyber truck and I talked to him briefly while walking the dog and on the driver's side of his car it is keyed all up and down there. Somebody did some horrible horrible key job on it. To his cyber truck. To his cyber truck. So it's all up and down the side. So I asked if I could take a picture of him and put it on my stuff. I just wanted to

show this awful treatment of his car. And he said to me, these are the words he said to me. He says, I'd rather not attract it, or please don't, I would rather not attract any additional attention. And I laughed, I kind of cough laughed because. I'm sure you did. Right.

It's a cyber truck. Yeah. That's like saying, I'm going to dress a like Michael Jackson and the red leather, but I don't want to attract any attention while I'm wearing the red leather. I'm going to wear a meat dress to the Grammys, but I really don't want to attract any further attention by wearing a funny hat.

So take Musk and all the politics out of it. I'm just saying you bought a cyber truck. It is the most noticeable-ass car on the drive. And right now, that is everybody notices them. There's no getting around it. Nobody goes, ooh, an Ionic 5. Ooh, a freaking Chevy minivan. Nobody does that.

They go, ooh. a cyber truck you have already done the thing that will draw the eyeballs to it so don't also nobody should scratch people's cars don't do that shit yeah don't do that don't do it don't do any of it i don't care how you feel about tesla it's not absolutely a hat on a hat like once you've got the hat on the next hat doesn't make it anymore doesn't draw any more attention to it yep this is all true um okay a couple quick things monday show today at noon tune in for that frogman's dot TV. Carter and I will be here. Film sack up for the weekend. We did Count of Monty

Christo. Had a great time with it. Turns out that's a good movie. Turns out a lot of people like me conflate it with the men in the Iron Mask. Yeah, you're not alone. There's plenty of people who do. So that actually kind of surprised me how many people conflate it. They're very similar. And then you found, didn't you find out

the authors the same? The same, it's Dumas. Yeah, Alexander Dumas. I had no idea. That was that guy. Shouldn't pronounce that last ass. Duma. Duma. Alexander Dumbass Did both

Also we were Today was going to be the day We had announced our winner For the film fest It will be tomorrow And the reason it will be tomorrow Is because Scott got so busy this weekend That he forgot to go add up all the points

So So tomorrow is the day Be here It'll be a great day We got that I got a dental appointment to fix a crown It's going to be a great day You know

Oh fantastic Can't wait. Can't wait. I wish I was this hippie Japanese guy right here. That's not in the morning, right? That's like after the show. Oh, yeah. It's way like 2 p.m. or something. And it's probably going to be quick and no pain, no shots, no nothing. They're just going to reseed it. Crown, so it's right. Exactly. Great, but I still hate going. Don't want to go. It's fingers in your mouth. Well, maybe I'll have some new music to listen to because you're about to introduce me to something. So what are we playing here today? You will. You'll have at least one brand new song to enjoy. And that song comes to us as a request from Derek. Derek, Derek wrote in, I'm still getting to all of the first two weeks of requests for the first half of the month because all of you celebrate birthdays and stuff in the first two weeks of February. This is a request from Derek. Derek says, hey, Brian and Scott, on February 1st, I'll be turning the big 4-0. It's been an interesting year for many reasons, and I'm definitely in my midlife crisis.

So please play a song that fits in one way or another. Scott, could you please play a screaming medley, a Scott screaming medley. always enjoy laughing to your pain signed Derek I don't think I have a medley I could do one I haven't ever made I think he wants you to just push a bunch of buttons

on your soundboard of you screaming oh I don't know if I have them in a way I can do that I can do this I can do that for now but you know what I'll work on one and then you'll have it for the next time you turn a new age I'll bet you could give it

some crafty person in our tadpool and they could put it to music and like actually have a we would play we'd play this shit out of that. Are you kidding? That'd be great. Absolutely. All right. Let me know if you want it.

All right, Derek. This is one that I got recently. Last week, no, two weeks ago, on the 7th, for 24 hours only, there was a charity album released on Band Camp called Good Music to Lift Los Angeles, and his money

from the proceeds went to victims of the fires out there and helping restore their lives back to normal. And so a whole bunch of people contributed to this album, including Death Cab for Cutie, who recorded or at least released a live version of Depeche modes, enjoy the silence. This is great.

From good music to lift Los Angeles, here's Death Cab for Cutie and enjoy the silence. We're going to play a song for the old kids now. Words like silence, break the silence, come crashing in to my little silence, come crashing into my little world. Painful to me Pairs right through me Can't you understand Oh my little girl All ever wanted

All ever needed is here In my heart Words are very Unnecessary Faconly too hard Flowers are spoken to be broken, feelings are intense, words are trivial, pleasures rename, so is the pain Words are meaningless
