The morning stream. Prepare the Virgin? I don't like the sound of that. Hello everybody. Welcome back to TMS. It is the morning stream for Monday, March 3rd, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Hi, Brian. Well, hi. Hello, and howdy. Hi. Welcome to, you know, the new month. I had, you know what, as shitty as my weekend was, because I had all the stuff with my mom and everything. I'll give an update on that a sec. But we had beautiful weather. It was like 62 degrees all weekend. It was amazing. It's the lamb. That's the lamb right there. I guess it's the other way around, right? In like a lion out like a lamb is what March is supposed to be.

Oh, right. Because at the top of it, when we were kids, it was the windy month you went kiting, right? Oh, it was the snowy month that you went shoveling. For us, it was always like February was the worst. And then March would kick in and it would be windy but nice enough. Really? Okay. And you could go out and fly kites and then that was it. That was the end of that.

And Denver March is the second snowiest month behind February. So it's all changed now. I don't know what we have now here. Yeah, yeah. It's all left up. Do we need two new animals? Can the weather service come up with two new animals for in like a and outlika? In like an emu.

Give us some new similes. Yeah. Similies? I don't know. It's not an as a fox. It's, it might be an idiom. Is it an idiom? I don't know. It might still be a simile even though it's not as a.

Well, you can't spell idiot without idiom. So think of that. Speaking of myself, of course. Hey, check it out, you guys. Quick update on that front. My mom, as you know, we didn't have a show Thursday. I guess we haven't had a show since, so I haven't been able to talk about it. Oh, right.

Play date on Friday, so it was a little bit different. But my mom took a bad spill last Wednesday at her, ironically, her physical therapy appointment, and shattered her hip and most of her femur. And they did a reconstruction surgery that very night. Put a big old, big old rod down the femur right in the middle of it. Oh, really? Wow. Yeah. Some rebar.

yeah basically structural integrity uh it looks black like a black bar on the on the x-rays but i think it's just steel and it just looks black on the x-rays because x-rays are like that um shattered her hip so that had to be reconstructed it's a bunch of pins and and metal and stuff in there and then she's got all these floater bones that they couldn't get that are just going to be there absorb into her life um hopefully i mean that seems like it could be painful later on those floater bones yeah they they got everything that's near any kind of muscle tissue or any kind of nerves or anything. Some of it was just you just

couldn't get. And they're, uh, they did a really good job, but they're about this big and they are in just places where you just can't get them without, you know, severing an artery or doing something like multiple. Yeah. Oh, gotcha. Yeah. So they, so she, uh, that went well. Good doctor, good surgeon. Uh, good hospital. They took care of her. And then they, we were, we went out there when she was recovering spent a bunch spent hours and hours there and she's doing much better considering she's

very she's very um our biggest concern i know she's very grumpy and unmotivated about the oh no really because your mom has always seemed like you know in really good spirits and always positive and yeah i think she's like i think she and you know i don't actually blame her i'm encouraging her but i don't blame her she's 86 and you have that level of injury and you're like i mean What are you going to do? I feel like, I hope at 86, I'm like, all right, let's go. Let's get up and do it. But I don't know.

I'll tell you there. How does that feel when you're that old? I don't know. But anyway, so we're just trying to keep her spirits up, keep her moving, all that stuff. Today, so she moved into a physical therapy center thing, rehab center. And we went there yesterday. That's why we were late for the Oscars. We were there like four hours or something.

And there was a lot of catheter talk because there was something wrong with the catheters. So everybody's running around doing catheter thing. God, okay. That all worked out in the end, so to speak. And then we got out of there and came home. But the prognosis is good if she can do the stuff. And the stuff starts today at 10. So 10 a.m. until noon is her first actual physical therapy part of this rehabilitation.

That means like standing her up and she's putting weight on this thing and having to move around and all the hard stuff. he thinks doctor says that if she does what she needs to do in three weeks or so she could be on a walker and moving around pretty good and then maybe a couple months into that she could maybe lose the walker all of this depends on her motivation so that's what we're focused on going to try to get her stoked you know about having pain every day and and all that just like gotta reframe it right oh pain is what makes it turns coal and the diamonds that's right and uh

turns no pain no gain mom you're not going to gain stand into pearls exactly we're going to come up with a hundred new metaphors for her her motives here but anyway we'll see you can do this you've got this all that all that stuff yeah John continues to be a real crank about all of it and I can't imagine that he's any help whatsoever not really I mean he's trying to support he's trying to do what he can I had a long talk with him yesterday he's just he has a hard time putting himself in other people's shoes right so he she's like this really hurts right now we probably ought to have them move this and his his answer is usually oh it's in your head or something like that and car carter got so annoyed she goes that's so proud of her she's stand she's you know she's carter she's

very sweet everyone knows carter but she goes she goes john i think i think maybe it's the it's the massive traumatic injury to her hip that's the problem and he was just like so So, like, oh, he was really, he was really annoyed by that. He didn't like that at all. But whatever. Good. Yeah, he needed to hear it. So we had a whole conversation about, you know, we need, you know, you need to put yourself

in her shoes a little bit and understand how this is going. And just because you haven't experienced something like this doesn't mean you can't relate to it a little bit, have a little empathy. And I don't know. Exactly. I'd be the same way. Oh, John, are you going to tell her how much her pain is? That's awesome.

Yeah. And he does that. Literally, the doctor said, while we were waiting there. we were in there and she goes all right so between one and ten how are we doing and my mom goes well i think it's about and john pipes and it goes it's about a five it's a five jeez louise i'm like it's a five i'm like it's a five freaking john you don't know what if i who's five you're five exactly is that your pain because uh yeah so annoying but uh but we're working on it uh so there's that there's the update there i'll keep people informed uh the other thing i was going to say

about that experience can you rate the pain that you came in with yes john about 10. Yeah, he was, he is high on that list. So it's what's funny, though, is while we were there, I got to tell you this story. This is pretty great. So we're sitting there, and I don't know, I mentioned this briefly on Cora, but I don't know why this was said or why it came up. But at some point, we were talking about my mom's favorite places to eat, and she loves P.F. Chang's for some reason.

She loves it. He hates it. He only eats Italian. That's all he eats. So he goes, oh, I hate that. I hate it, I hate it. I know you hate it, but, you know, you should open your mind up some of this stuff. He's like, I remember about it.

A little compromise there. Yeah. And so I says to him, I says, uh, John, uh, why, what are you? I go, well, you're never going to give that a shot or yet. And he goes, and he goes, and this is the words he says to me. He says, look, when's the last time you saw a bunch of Italian white guys on a P.F. Chang's. And I said, what the hell does that mean? What does that mean?

What does that mean? When's the last time you saw Italians in a P. P.F. Chang's. So he's, is he trying to, he's trying to give the excuse that old Italian white guys don't like P.F. Chains. I don't know. That's his defense? I don't know what he means. Like, I know it's vaguely racist somehow, but I don't know how. Like, it's just something weird Italian pride thing. I don't know what's going on there. Right. That's so weird. So that he says, and he says, you never see, you ever see a bunch of Asians in an Italian restaurant. I was like, yeah, you do. In fact, last month, we all went to dinner with my wait for it. Asian siblings! Right. Korean brother and sister and other sister. We were all there. Remember that, John? The Italian place that we went to because you refused to go anywhere else.

Remember that? Yeah. Anyway. Does he have a... Please tell me his preferred Italian restaurant is olive garden. He will go to an olive garden over. If you say to him, hey, how's everyone doing? Mexican, you want to do blah, blah, blah.

You mentioned Thai food, whatever. He would rather go olive garden than any of those things. But if he has his way, he would prefer, like, one of those, they're still chains, but they're a little bigger, or more kind of hoity-coity. Macaroni grill or Carrabas. There you go. Macaroni grill. He loves that place. Okay.

Which to me is just like a, it's like an overblown TGI Fridays in a way. I feel like macaroni grill and carabas and olive garden, I don't know if I'd put one, say that one is above the other in, like. like, oh, well, this is a little bit more authentic. And they're all kind of in that same range. And he's always like back in Jersey. We don't have these, you know, P.F. Chang doesn't even exist there. I'm like, that's not true. I bet I could find a whole bunch of them in Jersey.

I'll bet Monica and our chat could tell us about P.F. Chang's in Jersey if I asked her. She lives in Jersey. She's already railing against me about Olive Garden. Listen, Tina and I frequently go to Olive Garden, and we will just do, we are the easiest table because we're like, soup salad breadsticks, Zipa Tuscana, keep it coming. That's what we do. I don't ever get anything else there, really. I did once, I guess, but most of the time, I'll get the lasagna.

The lasagna's okay. It's all right. Lausagna's good. They're, you know, they're bolognays or whatever. But I'd say in the last five visits to Olive Garden, which took place over the last two years, admittedly, it's been exactly that. Just those three things. I mean, those breadsticks, they go a long way, man. Can't pass up the breadsticks.

We focus, well, I focus a little more on the salad, a little bit less on the breadsticks in the soup. That's good. You should. That's what our, all of us should, but I don't always. Real quick here, the other thing he said, who was on the phone with somebody, some neighbors helping him out. They have a very great, they have a great neighborhood support system. I will give them that. And there's always somebody ready to bring meals or help or do whatever.

They'll show up in the middle of the night, very nice people that they live by. And he was on the phone with one of them. And my mom and I were talking about something else. with Kim. We were just off. She's in her hospital bed over here talking. He's way over there on his phone talking. And he says the words, okay, we'll see you soon. I heard it. And then my mom goes, she turns from us mid conversation, looks over in John's direction and says, soup? Who's bringing soup? And John goes, John goes, what? She goes, yeah. And she goes, soup. And she goes, soup. You said soup. And he goes, I didn't say soup. And they just kept going back and forth about the soup. And I went, I go, I promise you guys, I promise you this is easy.

What you do now is you say, what did you say? Oh, I said they're coming over soon. Oh, I thought you said soup. Anyway, back to the conversation. It isn't hard, but they went on for like 10 minutes about who said soup. Who didn't say soup? Had that Costello routine or something like, yeah. Oh, it killed me, Brian.

I was about ready to die. Soup's on first? No, soup's on second. Who's on first? They really do turn into your children when they hit this age. Yeah. And I want to remember all this so, I want to burn it into my soul. So when I am there, I don't want to be this weird burden.

I want to crack my kids up. I want them to think, oh, dad. Right, right. You don't want them to feel like, oh, my God, dad has turned into such a five-year-old. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to lean over and say things like, I poked a hole in my colostomy bag or, you know, whatever. Stuff to make them. laugh, but I don't want to be a pain or weird

or going, soup, what do you mean suit? I mean, they kind of got in an argument just because they misheard the term soup. I'm like, that is a common thing to mishear your partner say something. So what do you do? Oh, yeah. You quickly get past it and say, oh, I thought you said soup anyway, let's move on with our lives.

Shit. It was so stupid. Brian, we're going to very, very quickly today go through these Oscars. Yeah, yeah. All right, we had a great pre-show. After each one of these, I'm going to say, deserved it deserved it so I'll just do one blanket deserved it you think it's like a full deserved it across the board is in your opinion everything got what it deserved the first the first nine

that you have in her first 10 that you have in here yeah okay so here's what we got we got supporting actress Zoe sal done yeah yes deserved it deserved it and really again you know if people don't want to watch amelia Perez if you heard Randy and my discussion about the Oscars on film sack You know, it's, I'll admit, when I first saw it, I'm like, yeah, it's good. It's a good musical. It's catchy. It's really good. Zoe Saladanya's incredible in it.

Selina Gomez is in it. A little shade there. The Selena's shade. No, no. Her singing and dancing was fine, but apparently, and I wouldn't know this because I'll speak language or Spanish was not so good. But when Randy and I did her thing, I said, pull up Netflix? Watch the first, the first 10 minutes of Amelia Perez because then you're going to get a Zoe Saladanya song and dance routine.

And it's really well choreographed and looks really cool. But you probably don't need to watch the rest of it. Yeah. Or if you do, do, do. It doesn't matter. Do what you want. Or if you do, if you're enjoying it so far, keep it going. Yeah, you know.

Do whatever you want to do. Watch that. Brian liked it. Maybe you will. Other people seem not to. Exactly. But she got her due, and that's great because we all love Zoe a lot. She's fantastic.

Yes. She deserves this for this and probably other things she's been in. Best Supporting Actor went to Kieran Culkin. Yeah, that's right. The kid with the, he put a little tinfoil on his head during signs. Remember that? That was a thing he did way back in the day. Right.

The more and more, I feel like Kieran Culkin is really the characters he plays in succession and a real pain. Yeah. He gets up on stage like for that acceptance speech and I'm just like, oh, you're just that guy. You're just that guy, yeah. You guys gave an award to a guy. I don't know what I'm even doing here. Oh, you guys are, you know. You know,

borderline James from Same Sex Mary. Just a little not quite as high. You know, well, Jesse Eisenberg, right over there, you know,

you're great. Shut up. Okay. Yeah, he's getting an award for being himself, which maybe that, I don't know if that's good or not.

I don't know what that is. Jack Nicholson has made a career out of that. So why not? Good point. Yeah. We revere him. Why not? Adrian Brody won for the Broken

knows a specialist. Sorry, the brutalist. The brutalist. The brutalist. Best actress went to, is it Mikey or Mickey? Because Hulu cut off right before. It is Mikey Madison. And if this doesn't make you people finally start watching the TV show Better Things, I don't know what to tell you. It's on Hulu. It's Pamela Adlon, who's incredible and versions of her

three actual daughters, the oldest of which is played by Mikey Madison and back then, Tina and I said here is an actress that we're going to see go big and this is her start. We're watching the start of Mikey Madison's takeover of the

world. I love it. Anora is the movie. Onora. Lots of being naked in there is what I understand. A lot of naked in that movie, right? There's a lot of naked. I mean, it's, you know, I don't know which movie between that and the substance has more naked. I'd probably say it's, well, no, it's probably the substance has more naked. The substance has a lot of naked.

Yeah, plenty of naked in a norah. Yeah, plenty of naked in substance, that's for sure. Best director went to Sean Baker for Anora and Best Picture went to Inora. So Anora cleaned up. They took kind of all the big stuff. Nice job, guys. Sean Baker figured out a way to get himself up on stage a lot by editing his own, the movie he also. so directed and wrote that helps right yeah yeah so now big expectations on him moving forward

yeah for sure more naked get more naked more naked uh best animated animated animated feature film my pick was flow even though i haven't seen it i just had a feeling and uh it was a total guess because i just based on everybody talking about it but flow one uh best uh documentary short went to the only girl in the orchestra which i heard was awesome and best documentary that says short but It means full, I meant full, uh, blown deal. Full feature. Yeah. No other land and also arguably the best acceptance speech of the night.

I thought that was awesome. Uh, quick side stuff. Dune two, my favorite movie of the year. Uh, uh, yeah. Oh, yeah. My, I mean, if I'm honest about like, what I really like, like what I really, really like,

Dune two across the board is my, I would have thought Furiosa might have taken the, uh, no, Furiosa, not for the, Not of the two. Like, they're my two favorite movies of the year, and they're close. But I think Furiosa is a pegged down. I think Dune 2 is a masterful follow-up to the first one. I would totally agree, but I just wanted to... Can't wait for the third one.

So excited. So excited. Yeah. Yeah, no Furiosa stuff this year. No awards, no nothing. No, not even, which, I don't know, should have been in there for sound, FX. God, the costuming. All that stuff probably should.

have been yeah i think hemsworth should have maybe had an odd best supporting maybe or something but anyway uh best for the visual effects also went to dune two so our our good friend dune won two of those uh best editing went to anora best makeup and hairstyle the substance uh the onion called it best goo award which i think is appropriate it's about right yeah uh adapted screenplay went to conclave which is i think it's only big win right uh it was yeah it's a bummer i love that movie It is a bummer, but, yeah. It's so good, guys. It's really good.

That's like my third favorite movie of the year. I really like that. I think when you do get to it, and even if you split it up in two nights, watch the Brutelist when it does arrive on streaming. Because of all these movies, that actually is one that I'm surprised how much I keep going back to and thinking about after watching it. Really? Still. Yeah. I expect to like it.

feels like the most traditional Oscar movie of all of them. Yeah. Well, that in Conclave, I would say. Um, whereas everything else is a little odd. You know? Really odd. Yeah. Substance. Anora's a very unusual. Emilia Perez. Very different. Yeah. Yes. All that stuff is really different. And flow, but

is different than your... Flo is so different. Yeah. Yeah. It's a weird year. I can't wait. You haven't seen Wild Robot yet, right? No, still have. I was, I was planning on cramming this all in for my mom fell over and then all my free time has been doing that. so I haven't had time to watch anything, but... I was so divided. I also went with Flow over, but I did do Wild Robot as my half-point backup, hedge bet.

Yeah, it seemed like those two were the two. They were the horses in the race that you had to pay attention to. We got hairstyle and stuff for the substance, like I mentioned. Let's see, we did the Conclave. Best Original screenplay was for Enora and Wicked got Best Costume Design. So good job, Wicked, you did it. I didn't see any of the performances. I hear they were...

I heard Arevio and what's her? Oh, Ariana Grande. Yeah, I saw that one twice. Yeah. Oh, is that one of the ones? The rewind, yeah. I guess that's all pre-show. Patrons, you'll hear the story about my Oscar night for the rest of you haven't.

Yeah, no, it was beautiful. And they did, they incorporated defying gravity into somewhere over the rainbow and also even turned it into a really touching tribute to Hollywood, recovering from the Los Angeles fires and things like that. It was really, it was really touching. And those two sound amazing. And I still stand by the fact that Ariana Grande knows precisely where every camera is in the room, is in the room, and knows when they're pointed at her and will play it to any camera that is pointed at her.

She's born for it. She's born for it. She's also a bird person, but whatever, that's a side note. A little bit of a bird person. I just expect her. I think she seems fine and nice and everything. I like a lot of her stuff. And I think she's super interesting.

But I just feel like if I was in front of her and I said, hello, I'm Scott Johnson. It's very nice to meet you, Ariana Grande. She'd go, Yeah. Car! Call her! I don't know why.

She's surprisingly funny on SNL. And her bits on Jimmy Fallon where they spin the wheel and have her do an impersonation of folks like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera and Adele are amazing. I don't know. She's talented as hell. She's freaky talented, if you ask me. Like, freaky and too, and so damn confident.

And she made out, or, you know, a lot more than that. Her and the, what's his name from S&L, that googly looking weirdo, like, she'll go, she'll perform anything. You know what I'm saying? Which, which, I mean, there's like eight googly looking weirdos on SNL right now. He's off. He's not there now. What's his name?

Pete Davidson. Pete Davidson. Yeah. Oh, that good. That was a good. first guess for Googly looking weird out. Yeah. Yeah, they were a hot thing for a minute. Well, anyway,

there you go. Your Oscars are done. Wednesday, when Randy's here, we're going to have a little bit more for recommendals. We have a little extra space on Wednesday. We're going to talk more, so. Randy loves the Oscars as well, so we want to make sure we get some time to talk to him about it. His picks got dinged a bit, I think. I don't think Randy did that well here.

Randy did great. He came in third. Did he? Yeah. Who's first? I came in ninth. Randy came in third. We're going to announce the winner. somewhere else but not here yeah probably film sec yeah yeah that's great where did I I thought I did way better because I'm looking at my list and I think I should have done my points should be higher I think can you recheck my can you do a recount

Randy yeah do a recount my point specifically we demand a recal um you came in it's gonna be way down there isn't it's like some awful it is 35th geez how many people total though Yeah, 56. Oh, shit, that's bad. Yeah. You came in with about less than a third as many points as our winner. This is typical. Actually, the third as many points is as Randy.

I got dinged pretty hard. I think Randy would have been second had he done, if wild, if he'd have done flow, I'll bet. Although you get points either way because he chose the half points. Randy said he did flow. Oh, I thought he picked Wild Robot. Oh, did you? Oh, no, I'm sorry. He did pick Wild Robot.

Yes. Yeah, he made a huge deal about it the other day, so I assume so. Well, all right then. Hey, I got a quick call to play. Play it. Check this out. This is from a listener about speaking and teaching. You know, we had this question about if you go to another country, Japan,

are you required to know Japanese to teach English? To teach English, yeah. And we have a guy who knows. Hello, Scott, Brian. It's your friend, Les, calling you from Prague in the Czech Republic. Just calling to let you know you're talking about teaching English in other countries. and I can't speak about Japan. They might have some very strict rules.

But here in Prague in the Czech Republic, where I teach English, you do not have to speak the local language to teach. It makes it easier if you can, but it's not necessary. So here's my question for less. Thank you for that. Yeah. But do you, how, right back in and tell us how much English, or sorry, how much of the local language, what were they speaking in Prague?

How much Czech, check? Is it just Czech? is it was called it's just check yeah how much check do you speak now that you've been there for a while like you know what i mean like are you fluent can you did did this teaching job end up teaching you in other language like i'm super curious about that you know like i want to hear him talk i'd be curious yeah yeah yeah and if you do call in speak a little check for us how about that right please yeah we miss less i remember uh he he he headed out there like after the last nertacular i think yeah 2018, 2019, something like that.

Pre-pandemic, I think. So what time would I have to do TMS if I move to Japan to teach English? Just want to figure this out. Seven hours ahead, right? Or something like that. I think a little more than that. That's England, is seven. Yeah, I have that wrong.

I don't know what it is. Maybe it's behind us is how you do it because it's... I think, right. I think so. And I don't know. You know, TMS Vegas has to move to Tokyo, TMS Tokyo or something. Well, you probably get five people. there?

Right if that. Something like that, yeah. I don't know. What it would be? Sean Stredden says nine. Nine. 13 hours ahead. Okay.

13 hours ahead, nine behind us. Is that, would that math work? Yes. Okay. Yes. All right. I know it's very late there now, right?

Or they're getting ready for bed or something. I don't know. I think so, yeah. Well, all right then. Thank you for that less and we do miss you. Hey, Brian, tell us about this thing. Yeah. Let's talk about it.

Yeah. Speaking of TMS, Vegas, there are just 12. there are just 12 spots left. I'm warning you with peace and love. There are only 12 spots left. If you try and sign up after those 12 spots are taken, your name will be thrown into the bin.

With peace and love, though. With peace and love, I'm warning you with peace and love. Yeah, so if you want to play, listen, you can play the video game tournament. I mean, you can go play video games all you want, but if you want to be in the tournament, then... Yes, we're talking about the tournament. Not tickets.

This is a whole separate thing. This is just our tournament night. And we want to fill the slots, but they are still limited, right? Yes, exactly. 12 spots. So go to TMS. Vegas and click the link for video game tournament sign up and then get your name in there. And who knows?

Who knows who you'll be playing? Who you'll be seated again? So it'll be fun. I'm still working on figuring stuff out for the miniature golf deal. I think our dude blocked. out a bunch of times when I was talking to him about an official group event, but their food and beverage in Vegas is such a, it's such a racket, man. So, you know, they basically want us to pay the equivalent of everybody playing a game, a round of mini golf, and then drinking

four premium drinks. And we're just not those people. We're not. We have too much of a mix. We have Some people that will drink 12, and we have some that'll drink zero. So it's like... Right, exactly. I don't know why they're always... The food and, like, the food and drink minimum thing feels not recent. I know this isn't a recent thing, but it just feels prominent now. It really does.

You can't, like, that's the problem that I'm running into with, we try and do a dinner every year for the producers. So we can all get together and talk about podcasting, but also catch up with each other, you know, in a, in a separate environment. and they're weird food and beverage problems there, too, that are all weird. It's just almost as bad as resort fees, it feels like. It kind of is, yeah, exactly. Resort fees. So anyway. I heard they were going to get rid of it.

I don't know if they did, but there was talk of it. Oh, really? Yeah, the local. I know there was, yeah, that's right. There was a thing. There was talk about that. Who knows? I don't have it went through or not.

Maybe it got voted down. I have no idea. Yeah. So regardless, you still want to go to TMS. Vegas, sign up for the video game tournament, but also sign up for the, the miniature golf, just grouping. We're getting into four-person groups. So just make sure you're either in the looking for group column or that you're in one of the columns of teams. And there's all, there's all the instructions you should, you could possibly want on that sheet.

Big thanks to Bobby for helping me set that up in a very nice and easy to understand format. He's a spreadsheet lord. Okay. He is. He is. Yeah. He's a formulae lord. Yeah, formulae lord. Really good at it. Formulord. Yeah. All macros, no micros. That guy. He knows what's up. That's right. All right. We are going, we'll see him later, by the way. We got him on today. He will. Oh, good. Yay. A little bit of science on a Monday, and that'll be fun. Always a little science day. Let's get in here and do a little done away time. We're going to play a game called the Monday half asses and we can't do it without our old pal, Brian Dunaway. Hi, Brian.

Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. That would only be like a fourth of an ass or something. Right? No. I can't do the math. One third ass. Wait. One third ass. I have Hank Hill butt, so I think you minus some butt from there. Anyway, good to have you here, man. Moodyus and minimus.

I hope you're well. We're going to play a little game here. You're going to have a lot of done away today because when we're done with this, due to my mom's issues and then internet issues on Saturday after Film Sack, we had to push play retro to today. So tonight at 4 p.m. Mountain time, my time, and 6 p.m. Brian time, we will be banging that out. So a lot of brine done away. Yeah, no matter what, even if I'm running from forest fires.

That's right, which you shouldn't be where you live. Is that an issue out there? I hope not. Yeah, we have much, we have, no, yeah, South Carolina is under, uh, real burns. Yeah, we've got, we've got wildfires. Wildfires. Are they control burns or are you talking about like accidental, like that kind of thing? Yeah, yeah, like, no burst into flames.

Jeez. Mostly not on my side, not on my side. It's mostly on the west side of the South Carolina side and then there's the Brian side. I like that. That's right. I'm Brian side represent for sure. We're going to play a game.

Let's play it. Brian, let's explain the rules. And who might win win? Who might win what? Who might win, Min Min, Min what? Welcome to the morning half-ass is a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving the two of you the answers. I'm going to give Scott and Brian a category and six possible answers.

Three of which are correct and three like Min-min-min-win-win-win-min are incorrect. Depending on how confident you feel with the category, we can provide one, two, or three guesses. But if any of those guesses are wrong, you get zero points for that round. zero if you get one right you get a point though that's nice if you get two right three points oh that's pretty good but if you get three right you get five points i don't know how that math works it just does the player with the most points after three rounds wins the prize of their contestant and contestants will be pulled from members of the tadpool that don't have ears and aren't able to be here and listen um scott you're playing for don moller oh oxford ohio nice wait why did you of Miami University. Why'd you yell it that way? Because he doesn't have ears, is what I said. He's members of the tadpole that don't have ears.

Oh, are you implied that they're reptiles? They are reptiles. They have to feel the vibrations coming from their speakers. They're like those cave lizards that Attenborough's always talking about. Like, these things don't need eyes. Okay. The albino cave lizards. Nice.

Brian, you're playing for Jack Fox. Oh, well, Jack Fox has big ears with fuzzy tufts of hair on the tips. In Omaha, Nebraska. You ever hear a fox not sound all nervous? They always go. That's what the song says anyway, right? They're so nervous. What the fox say?

If Yulvis got one thing right, he knew what the foxes say. All right. Yolvis. Sweet. Well, we have our bards to play for, and we're going to beat them. We're going to win. That's going to be great. Let's see how we do here.

Let's get to question number one. Number one, here is university sports teams nicknamed Wildcats. So which one of these, or which three of these universities have sports teams called the Wildcats? New Mexico State, Villanova, Charleston, Kansas State, Tosin, and New Hampshire, as we kind of get edged closer and closer to March Madness, which three of those are Wildcats. Good Lord. I know. Yeah. you don't get to luck

you don't get to luck in a a team nickname and not have other colleges use the same one of course no Arizona or Kentucky Redling yeah I would know then we'd know those that's the point we don't know those or we do know those are the two we do know

all right I've locked them one of these seem right I'm trying to think of where Wildcats might would be like would they do it like that sometimes then they move it's like Well, that's professional, but like the jazz moved here. We don't have jazz. Salt Lake City, Jazz. Come on.

Okay. All right. You guys both locked in on New Mexico State. No, the New Mexico State team, for some reason, are the Aggies, kind of like Texas A&M. Kansas State. Brian, you did get that one right. Tosan. Tosan, it's the Tosin Tigers.

Damn. No points. New Hampshire, Villanova, and Kansas State are all wild. Well, at least you got one done away. I might feel stupid. I got none of them. Charleston, Brian, do you know what the Charleston, South Carolina? Yeah, they're the Chews.

The Charleston Chews, very good. Absolutely correct. Named after the candy bar. Yeah, of course. I mean, why not? Why wouldn't you name it after a candy bar? No, the Golden Eagles. Charleston Golden Eagles.

Oh, wow. So we also have an Aggies, Utah State Aggies. Oh, really? And an Aggies is like a bull or like a... Sure for agriculture. Oh, okay. So they made our dude, like a big steer, like beef steer, which I guess fits.

It's like, ah, we're cutting steaks and growing weeds and I don't know what we do. I was always curious about what that meant. At least Texas A&M is short for agriculture because it's, A&M is agriculture and manufacturing. Is that right? What's the M? I don't know. Monkeys. It's definitely agriculture.

Agriculture and monkeys. Yes, that's it. The two focuses at Utah State, crazily, are agriculture. like you said. That's why they're the Aggies. And commercial art. Isn't that crazy? Oh, really? They have an insane. Yeah, it should be A&A. They have an amazing commercial art program up at Utah State.

If you have a kid out there and you're like, he wants to go out of state but doesn't know where to go, their commercial art thing is so good. It's really good. That's cool. All right. Anyway, I don't know why I don't always laughing, but it's really good. It's because you're hilarious. Oh, well, thanks. Thanks, Brian. For all the wrong reason. Okay. Okay. It just keeps getting better and better.

Yeah. Let's get to question number two. Number two is which of these are luchadores, Mexican wrestlers? Well, thank you for, thank you for, oh, thank goodness. That's for everybody else. That's for everybody else. Oh, good, sure. Your choices are fishmen, one Caspa, Ray Mysterio, El Dedo del Pia, Luis Bunuel, and Mill Mascaras.

Gosh, dude. Which three of those are actual luchadores. These all sound like fancy purse makers, you know? That's right. Who are you wearing tonight? Yeah. I have one. I have Fishman.

I know what I want, but I don't know if it's going to be right. So I'm going to choose what I want. How about that? Choose what you want. I think it's a really good choice. I chew, choose you. Mm-hmm. Okay.

Oh, you guys locked at exactly the same time. What? Oh. And no overlap between the two of you. All right. Scott, you went with Fishman. and Ray Mysterio. Brian, you went with El Dedo del Pia.

And... You bring me something about your P, I'm sure. Go ahead. It's not, but it does mean the toe in Spanish. El Dedo de Pia is the toe. Luis Buneuel, Bunewell. I know how you do the E.

Buneo. He's a filmmaker. And Juan Caspa is really just one dandruff in Spanish, meaning Fishman, Ray Mysterio, and mil masquadas are the right answer. Scott, I get it. Oh, look at that.

Good job, Scott. Complete, complete guess, and I really just wanted fishmen to be real. And I used to even watch the L-Rae network. Yeah. How do they announce? It's like, what do I say? Fish and Spanish? Pescato.

Pascado? Is it more like Pascado-A-Mbray or whatever? No, he's really called Fishmen. These are their Spanish names. Wow. All right. He's just fish man. Have you guys ever watch Lucha Underground on the L-ray network?

No, Rodriguez's... I don't know. I didn't know there was an Elray network either. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Ooh, you got to watch the El Ray Network. There's a contender for a Univision's crown. Wait, El Ray is the...

Isn't that the Rodriguez? This is Robert Rodriguez's baby he made. Oh, right. So it's got a lot of action stuff, old stuff he got the rights to. It's like he's kind of Tarantino that way with all the old, like, Westerns and whatever. And then they had the show... They had an original right for the Dust Hill Dawn series on there, I think? I believe they did.

Yeah. I used to leave the Lucha Underground on while I can't remember another guy. I always forget what it's called. And I think he sold that network now to somebody. It was the name of the network. Yeah, but I think he sold it. Somebody else owns it now. I'm sure he did.

I would. It's probably worth a lot of money. Network. Yeah. The Spy Kids Network, it should be called. Well, anyway. All right. Well, I'm happy with that.

I'll take two. Yeah, three points going into our final round. Ryan, you need to start making something happen with literature. Oh, we love. richer. Which of these are the March sisters from little women? I know, I know quite a few people in the chat. Especially Amy are going to know this one. Abby, Sue, Meg, Mary, Joe, Beth. Three of those are the March sisters, or are three of the March sisters from little women? Three of them are not. Mary Jo Beth is like a name of someone I know. That's what I was like. I was like, I would first

at Mary Jo Beth. Yeah, yeah. I was kind of, now you made me a second guess. Is that what you going with Scott um no but i think i know one i might know two for sure it's been a very long time which one did florence pew play in the recent movie and i that's the one i haven't seen and i keep hearing that one so great it's really it's really good yeah i've heard good things oh i chose too soon i thought scott had already locked in with mary joebeth it'd be funny if that's it oh shit hold on like it's just let me play some stuff in my head here

sure no you know what I'm going safe there you go okay all right Brian locked in with three Scott locked in with two uh-huh the two Scott lot well the two that both of you locked in with you guys actually locked in on the the two same ones Joe and Beth yeah okay good good now the question is was it Mary which I thought Scott was Joe and Beth were correct or are correct okay Okay. So, Brian, you now know you've got three more points.

You've got three points. Scott also logged in with Meg. Did I? I'm sorry, no, Brian. I'm sorry, no, no, no. I locked it with him with Meg. Because I was like Mary. He's going Mary, so I said, I don't make.

Purple, blue, I'm all confused. So I'm sorry. Brian, you lucked in with Joe and Beth. You both liked it with Joe and Beth. So guaranteed points for both of you there. Got it. Brian, you also logged in with Meg. I really shit the bet on this one.

now i don't even know i don't even know what's going on what oh i got it you won scott you won oh i thought he oh that's right because if i'd lost it i would have been bad right exactly those are the three meg jo and beth are the three of the march sisters from little women and uh one of them's a giant shark that kills jason statham twice that's right and that's right amy not in the list is uh was florence pew oh amy is her character? I didn't know that. Amy is for character. I would like to watch that. I think I will make time to do that because I am a

fan of the original work. Oh, and my mom handed down from my grandmother. My grandmother has, I don't know the names of these things, obviously, I've done a third, but she has a whole set of these little mini dolls from like the 30s that represent all the

little women, right? Right. The sisters. And she's going to, and my mom was saying over this weekend that she wants to pass those down to one of my, one of my girls so so i so i may very soon learn all there is to learn about the mary beth joe megsu abbeys mary joe bet which was i was convinced it was until i had to make a move yeah which gave me some points some of these girls they sound like they're all part of uh what was the show

facts of life these are all facts of life characters aren't they kind of are right that'd be mary there's not a tooty up there right tuti natalie blair joe they called her skates back then Mrs. Oh, Mrs. Garrett. Was there a fifth for a long while? There was a fifth. Brian knows his facts of life, dude. Yeah.

Didn't Joe leave for a little bit or something? No, there was another woman that left. They also had a... Oh, there was a whole slew of girls in the first season. Oh, yeah, that's true. They had more... They just kind of fell off and they narrowed the cast, I think. Yeah, there was a girl who was deaf.

Who's... By forgetting one, I said Blair, Joe. Tudy and Natalie. Yeah, I can't remember any of those. Kay Katsumi's right. I won because I had points from the Luchadors. The Luchadors got you to the top. Two in Luchadors and two here got you two, three

point rounds. That's right. Thanks, man. Everybody put a dumb mask on and celebrate with us as we pass on what prizes to who, Brian. Who won what? Yeah. Well, congratulations, Don, in Oxford, Ohio. You are getting a copy of the game's Spinch.

S-P-I-N-C-H and U-Riding, surfing and bodyboarding games. So I guess you ride yourself as a surfboard. U-Ride.com You ride. But Jack Fox in Omaha, you're also getting something called Metal Unit on Steam.

I don't know anything about any of these games. You guys play any of the three of these? I've never heard of metal unit, but I want it right now. I feel like I've heard of it, but not played it. I've definitely never heard of U-Riding or Spinch. unit. This is rare. I usually have at least one game in your list. You usually know one of the three, at least one of the three, yeah.

Yeah, but that's why we like King Quimzabi because he sends us this amazing list of stuff we never heard of it. That's great. So congratulations, everybody. You guys are all winners. How do we know? Because Fletcher says this. Congratulations. That means you can all run off and brag to your friends and tell them to listen to TMS and become

patrons, okay? That's right. Please do. That's the deal. That's the deal. Brian Dunaway, always get to talk to you. We'll do it again at four. Can't wait. talking about a space quest point and click our way to space you know we're not going to click we're not going to point and click we're going to text parse that baby that's true it's a lot of walk north and a lot of type and i i always forget that with this series yeah you know why i'll tell you why it's because this was the last great one of those before the point and click

took over they just took over that's right that's right they were right they're at it on the sierra the sierra games sir lucas arts all that stuff yeah good luck playing any of those James that a hint book. No, kidding. That's the other thing. You need a damn manual for this thing. But it's an important series. We got a new one coming this year from the same creators.

It's all very exciting. So check that out later today. 4 p.m. Mountain Time at frogpants. com. Get play retro wherever you get your podcast. Brian, kiss our butts. Oh, he's very fast today. Very fast.

The fast. All right, you weirdos. We're going to do one news story. All right. One. Yeah. Here it comes. Today's news brought to you by.

Your frequent reminder that tickets to attend TMS Vegas are up and ready for you to nab at TMS.Vegas right now. Get some while to getting them remains good. TMS. Dot Vegas. Get them while to getting them remain. I read it as it's written. You know, I don't know what I was thinking. That's a terrible right.

And you did the perfect read of a terrible right. So you did not, you righted my wrong is what you did. I read it as written. I also didn't say tickest. Oh, tickest. Yeah, we want to see you guys. So get in there. We've sold a lot. They're going to go quick. We do have a limit.

So don't wait too long if you're considering coming. Don't sit on your hands for too long. It is fun seeing all the familiar names, though. It's just awesome. Good, good. Oh, excellent. And I'm sorry the Canadian exchange rate on the dollar right now kind of sucks. I apologize to Canadians who are coming. You guys don't deserve that kind of heat.

And I hope once you come to our country, you're able to leave at the end of the event. Yeah. Or maybe take us with you. I don't know. Here, here. Yes, please. Oh, by the way, somebody, okay, well, you know what? I'll say that for later.

I'll tell you the story. Pep monkeys are in the news. Pep monkey jumps through the drive-thru window and attacks a Starbucks worker. Oh, shit. Oh, no. Haven't you always wanted a monkey? That's right. Alabama cops say this happened.

Is it Alabama? Yeah. Yeah. Miami Herald, though. Anyway, Starbucks employee was attacked by a customer's pet monkey. Alabama police say the incident happened on Friday, January 10th. The mobile police department said in January. The animal and its owner have gone, sorry, we're gone by the time the officer's ride. The investigators pieced together what happened. Probably not very hard. You can tell when a monkey jump in the window, you know? right exactly we've got five Starbucks employees that are saying a monkey came through the drive-thru window and attacked him and then got back on the car okay I think we've pretty much figured out what happened yeah thank you kind of not the kind of thing you it's not the story you'd use as a cover-up it just feels too right on the nose anyway the employees were working the drive order the guerrilla latte yeah forget venti I know it's I know it's not a monkey

but I'm trying to come up with something that sounds like... Totally fine. Chat, they're apes. We know. The recess. There you go. Bacquado. Brian and I are aware of the difference between monkeys and apes. We know. We are. Fully aware. The employer is working through the drive-thru and the monkey inside of the customer's vehicle got free, said the police. The monkey then leapt from the vehicle through the window of the business and attacked an employee. According to the police, co-worker rushed up to help and pulled the monkey off the employee.

I pulled the monkey! The monkey then re-entered the customer. Boy, let me rephrase that. The monkey The monkey then re-entered the... This story took a turn, man. The monkey then re-entered the customer's vehicle. Oh, okay.

Before the customer drove away. The owner of the animal could face charges. This remains an active animal services investigation. The police said, let's see, they identified it as an aotis monkey. Is that how you'd say that? Aotis? I was pulling up the son. for the mid-ling.

Oh, you're fine. I would say it was an a-o-os monkey. A-O-O-Tis or A-O-Tis? A-O-Tis. Something like that. It's an animal of the United States is what that stands for. There you go. There you go.

Yeah, whenever wild animals are in places other than Missouri, I always wonder what the hell's going on because the laws of Missouri are the only ones that are that laxed. But everywhere else you can just. Oh, yeah. Like looking little owl monkeys. I'll give you a link. Here's one, an aotis monkey. Yeah, let's take a look here and share it with the folks.

There it is in our Discord. Enjoy that picture. Oh, he's cute. He's cute, except for those teeny tiny little pupils, which freak me out. Yeah, they're really, they see into your soul. Look at that. He knows what I've been doing. It looks like you're saying, did you put an extra shot in there like I asked?

He also looks like he stinks. yeah it kind of does yeah dinky monkey all right that is today's news we're now going to take a break when we come back bobby frankenberger will be here to talk some science into us not just about science but into us he's going to pound it into us we just have to open ourselves and let him talk into us yeah open your minds be ready but before that let's loosen up the old gray matter with a song from brian yeah we we had a lot of young and up-and-coming performers in india in the middle last week we're going to continue that today with a 22-year-old San Diego-based British singer-songwriter by the name of Pip Lewis. That's a very British singer-songwriter name, isn't it? This is her brand-new single coming off her fourth coming album, which is called Growing Pains, very much an 80s sound that I really, really love. If you like Leroux, I do like Leroux, actually. Or Goldfrapp, then you're probably going to like. this, even a little Ellie Golding, early Ellie Golding. Oh, love early Ellie Ellie. I prefer early

Ellie Goulding with your colors. I think I am. You are. Here's Pip Lewis and the first of our unplanned theme songs for today called Dead Ringer. even a worm will turn it's only a matter of time they never seem to learn in for a penny and for a dime in a crowded room a crowded house no one listens when I shout no one whispers when I whisper they only listen when I'm a singer I'm a singer I'm I'm banging on the lid of the coffin

they won't listen to me but they're watching everyone look at the dead ringer she's a ghost in the form of a singer I'm banging on the lid of the coffin they won't listen

to me but they're watching everyone look at the dead ringer she's a ghost in the form of a singer they wanted a better daughter one that they wanted a better daughter one that they wouldn't shun and they wanted a better artist but got stuck with this one in the dirt and undergrowth the words caught in my throat but they'd hear the softest wimper if they'd put their ears to the ground and the sound I'm climbing on the lead at the coffin They won't listen to me but they're watching Everyone look at the dead ringer

She's a ghost in the form of a singer I'm standing on the lead of the coffin They won't listen to me but they're watching Everyone look at the dead ringer She's a ghost in the form of a singer I'm standing on the lid of the coffin and they all listen to me that they're watching Everyone look at the dead ringer

She's a ghost in the form of a singer She's a ghost in the form of a singer The Army denied having anything to do with those dead sheep in Utah for 14 months. I don't suppose any of you ladies would care to buy a pair of shoes. Edward Return, tell me more of that song. Sure, that is Pip Lewis, and a song called Dead Ringer. She was inspired, by the way, to write that when she heard the opening of Blue Monday by New Order, the one that goes,

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. I love that song. That is, Dead Ringer by Pip Lewis. make sure to check out her upcoming album Growing Pains when it drops February 21st. Oh, it's already dropped. Oh, nice. It dropped. Go listen to the whole thing now.

Speaking of USU, Utah State University, that's in Logan. And last week you had a singer from Logan, that 22-year-old girl. I passed that song around. Everybody's losing their minds about this person. They're so excited. Yeah, yeah. Really good. Look for more from her, too, coming soon.

Yeah, coming soon, baby. baby uh all right let's get good old bobby all rolled up in a one here come on old bobby yeah old bobby's old bobby his time to shine and to bring his magical mix of bobbiness uh all right here he is science bob is hungry and the soup looks good it sure does and bobby is with us as he is each and every Monday that he's allowed to be here. It's not every Monday, but it's enough to give us a little bit of scientific background and information and stuff we just didn't know before. Bobby, welcome back to the show. Hey, thanks for welcoming me back.

Oh, you know, it's just, it's our pleasure. Thank you, welcome. It's our pleasure to welcome you back. He's the host of All Around Science with his co-host, Moran. They do amazing work over there and just comes over here and just spills a little bit of the tea, you know, just a little bit of whatever's going on. And it's good because then we, walk away more knowledgeable. We understand our universe just a little better.

And Bobby's hair grows two inches every time we learn something. Totally does. And a bell rings. Something like that. Something like that. I like how it's a cross between it's a wonderful life and John Malkovich and Conair reading the letter to Poe's daughter. I haven't thought of that scene. Well, since I last saw it. That's amazing. It's a good combo. My daddy is coming home on March 15th. He does totally do that.

All right. Well, Bobby, tell us what you got. Lay it on us. Let's see if we're ready to hear this magical truth you've brought with you. You're not ready. Oh, shit. Are you not ready? Should I be sitting down for this?

I feel like I should be sitting down for this. Yeah. Well, you know, I don't know. Okay. I'll stand up. But I'm prepared to sit down if I have to. Yeah, only if you have to keep a chair handy. Okay.

All right. Okay. Yeah. So when astronauts go up into the space station, you think of those people as being pretty healthy, right? Yeah, I do usually. I would assume so, yeah. I assume they have rigorous training and they got to blow into that thing to make the ball rise and all that and going through the thing that swings real fast and they look old on the camera because their Gs are so hard and all that. All the tests that we saw on Apollo 13, yes, correct.

Yes, everything I've seen in movies. That's the stuff I assume. Goldfinger. It was the one of the Roger was a moonwaker. Oh, moonracker. Where he's in the centrifugal force. Yeah, I love that. Right.

Didn't he fight him? So, yeah, you generally want astronauts to be pretty healthy all around because they're going to be up in space with limited access to health care. And also they need to withstand the rigors of traveling up to the space station. So you want them to be pretty, pretty healthy, right? Sure. for sure. Well, it turns out that, and I didn't know this, it turns out that astronauts on the ISS, the International Space Station, often experience immune system issues like allergies and skin rashes and sometimes asthma symptoms all the time. And I didn't know that. Despite the fact

that they are, they have a clean bill of health, pretty healthy pre-launch, right? And so researchers have been wanting to know why does that happen to astronauts? What sorts of things are going on that causes allergies and skin rashes and is there some sort of like space space allergy that they're dealing with? It was a cosmic rays that gave the fantastic for their powers also give allergies.

I thought there was some story maybe years ago that the place was pretty gross, like the air filtration wasn't right or the uh the the space station yeah and now bobby i'll admit that it might be me remembering peter stramara and the in armageddon being up there all alone because he was up there by himself being all disgusting right and so i may have to excuse the place i've been keeping it out yeah i mean keep it out i love that lilty does but but like the whole the whole idea at the time i thought i heard this that it was just a little bit grody up there and there was no way to real way to stop some of it because it's just you can only do so much i don't maybe you you can

listen on that you are right that there is a sort of unique microbiome up there and uh they do their best to keep things pretty sanitized for a lot of reasons um not just health reasons but also they're doing experiments up there and that they don't want to get um you know infected with different things like they want to keep everything pretty controlled so that they they know it's going on but there's you know they're people people are pretty gross. We all come with our own microbiome already packaged with us, you know?

And so there's only so much you can do. But that's what the researchers suspected is that maybe there's something going on with the environment, with the microbiome up there that would contribute to the symptoms of allergies and skin rashes and

asthma symptoms and stuff like that. So you think Buzz Aldrum was just cracking off farts and, well, I guess he wasn't in the space station, but you know what I mean? Like on the thing on the way up. Certainly in the capsule, he absolutely was. He looks like. He just looks like a good guy.

There's nothing you can do. You're just stuck in there. But I imagine the astronaut suits hold that stuff in really well. So you're just hurting yourself. Yeah. Well, you're not keeping your helmet on, though. That's true. It's going to escape out your, yeah, that's true.

In fact, with that, given that, I think you have a sort of moral imperative to wait until you are on a spacewalk to do your part. You know, I just, there's those times, though, where you've had too much tang or whatever they've done. Right. And they just probably pretty hard, right? Because the pressure changes, just like, you know, there's been research that suggests that you are more gassy on a, on a, on a plane, just a flight, an airplane, yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. I feel better about my whole life now that you've said that. Because I was.

Oh, yeah. When you're on an everybody who's listening, public service announcement, when you're on a plane, don't feel bad crack and farts. It's just you have it. It happens. So it's a little like the bends, like when you go too low in the water and all the gas in your joints and stuff can cause... Yeah, it's just that the gasses, the fart gases in your gut expand, yeah. Different pressures, different parts of your body are getting pressurized that normally wouldn't. Well, I'm going to remember this next time because I don't...

I always feel so terrified of letting one off and a complaint because I don't want to... I got everybody around me. I don't want to be the problem. I've been... No, of course, nobody wants to be. never cared because like no one's going to know to me it's i just don't want people to know i'm the problem yeah no that's a good that's a healthy attitude because if you have to you have to and if you're okay with it i just feel such feelings of guilt it's just like i will i will suffer

the pain of trying to keep one in for as long as possibly for you you're the best of us no i'm i'm the most i don't i think i'm the worst you're right maybe you're right maybe that's on the other end spectrum. Yeah, I think so, exactly. Also a problem. Like, maybe I shouldn't do so much discomfort and just do it. Just say, all right. Well, you can get, when my brother bottom wants, you buy those, that charcoal underwear,

and every time you fart it, it like neutralizes it. It's like a, it's got like a filter in there or something like that, and you just fart right through it and it just comes out like regular air or whatever. That's a way to do it. It's just been tested. This sounds suspicious. It does, right? But I'm pretty sure it works because it's just like a charcoal filtration system on your

Butthole, right? Well, if anybody's going to test it, it's two brothers, so you should do it. You've got to put face to butt. You need to test it. All right. I'll get with Matt this weekend and see what we can do. Very excited. All right.

But anyway, there was a study. So the scientist decided to do a study to figure out, is there something going on with the microbiome in the International Space Station that could account for this? And they did a big microbiome study on the ISS. It was UC San Diego researchers. Largest microbiome study that's ever been done up there. Even larger than the one that you were referring to, Scott, that talked about how gross it can be in the space station.

They had astronauts up there, collect over 800 samples, collected across eight pressurized modules that are in the space station. It was over, I think, like a six-month period, seven-month period, maybe from October 2020 to April 2021. And then they brought them back down. and analyzed them for microbial DNA and also for their chemical composition. And they found out what their findings were was that the microbial environment in the ISS resembles the same sort of microbial environment you would find in COVID-19 isolation wards with constant sterilization.

They were comparing it to stuff like that. So there's a lot of sterilization that's going on up there. And that sounds like it would be great, right? But there's a problem. And to the scientists who know the problem, they're like, they were like, ah, this is what's, this probably is the problem. And so the reason that they identify that as a problem is because we have, in our homes, we have a decent amount of microbial diversions.

all over the place that comes from all over the place in fact some studies have shown when they compare they when you compare to an average home say in in different places you're looking at between 12 point like around 12 percent microbial diversity to up to as much as 15 to 18 percent microbial diversity depending on the location that samples are taken over or throughout the world that's the kind of range you're looking at 12 to 15 18 18. percent microbial diversity and what we're talking about is just different types of microbes across the the number of microbes that exist so there's a lot of commonality to the microbes but there's a percentage of it is different different than everything else right like in other words i may come to a room you may come to a room and that room we're going to share 80 percent of the microbial diversity but you brought a little something special and so did i right right and so if you look at all of the if you look at the phylogenic tree of microbes that do exist, we're talking about somewhere between 12 and 18% of those that exist

can be found in the average home, right? Yeah. So it's a pretty large amount. Well, they found that when they took these tests out of the International Space Station, there was only about 6% microbial diversity. Now, why would that be a problem? Why do you think that would be a problem? Well, it's like you don't have the immunity, immune systems built up to, oh, why it would be a problem?

Because I think you'd want less, right? Less is ideal. Well, the right. The right environment is what you want, right? Whatever that means. And it may mean a lot of microbes, but you just want the right ones. Like good gut health is the idea. So if you use that as the metaphor, I think if I'm, okay, so I'm going to guess Bobby.

And then Brian, feel free to outguess me because I'm probably so wrong on this. but it feels like to me that the diversity is actually that's good and the more diversity you have the better the less unique biomes introduced but you would think that you're on the right track Scott

don't second guess yourself keep going okay the more the more diverse it is the better off everybody's going to be because diversity that builds your immune system yeah or yes or or or creates a situation where your body, I always go back to gut health, because I do know something

about that from some issues I had years ago. And it was, it always came down to, you, you don't, like, people take too many antibiotics, they just kill the ecosystem and end up having a very non-diverse gut biome. But the more diverse you can keep it with the right microbiology, the better off your guts are going to be. Like the more in there, the more of a balance. you have, like, you know, this one kind of cancels out this other one and... Kind of like that, like a balance thing? Like, there's nothing big and heavy on this side, nothing small on this side.

It's like, it's just one big, happy, everybody's eating. We're all eating tonight, boys, that kind of thing. Yep, yep. You're totally right, Scott. I'd like to compare, you brought up the gut microbiome. I like to compare these microbiomes in our bodies to other... It's an ecosystem. and it's just a really small one and it's got its own niche that it all the stuff that lives in our guts

that's where it lives it's kind of i like to compare it to um other larger macro scale ecosystems like um like a rainforest or something like that right there's so much uh diversity of species in all of these forests and stuff and that's really healthy for a forest ecosystem um to have lots of different things there because like you said it keeps things in check one thing taking over an ecosystem causes an imbalance in the ecosystem and so having a diversity in our microbiome inside our bodies and as it turns out on our skin and outside of our bodies um on the surface of our bodies is also really really healthy and so that's there's been a lot of uh there's been a lot of research that links um low microbial diversity in our bodies to

things like chronic inflammatory diseases like asthma and other and like allergies. So these things are known and it was like a light bulb when they saw, oh, really low microbial diversity on the International Space Station and these things are happening to the astronauts. This has got to be what it is. And they probably, they think it's probably linked to the over sterilization that happens. Overcleaning, right. Yeah. It's like when you've got, you're constantly washing your, you know, keeping your kid off the floor and washing his little hands and not letting your two-year-old kind of interact in his world, you're possibly causing these issues to at least let down the road may be an issue.

Like you've got to let the natural shit grow. You don't, we're not saying rub E. coli all over your face. No, but let them get exposed to the things that they naturally should get exposed to so that they develop, develop immunities to them. You may have, systems that can handle it. Yeah. Yeah, you may have heard of the pig pen effect is what is talked about a lot, which is, you know, that pig pen from peanuts, he's got this cloud all the way around him all the time, right? Well, that's, we talk about that, or I say we, like I'm one of these scientists, but that's talked about a lot in terms of children, you know, with the pig pen effect. If they're always digging around in the dirt and getting dirty and being exposed to all these things and constantly surrounded by a cloud of this.

this diverse microbiome, it has, there's research that suggests that that has a sort of long-term protective effect with those kids tend to have lower risk of developing asthma and allergies and stuff like that. Could it be, so I mean, I don't know if these studies get into this or not. And obviously it's not a space station question, but who is it? Oh, it's John the other day. He was talking about, I don't know if he said this on the pre-show, if it was during core proper, but the show was just me and him this week, and he was talking about how his whole life he'd had penicillin-based antibiotics, no problem, no issues, nothing.

And then one time he takes them in his adults, years, for bronchitis or something, and breaks out in the worst rash you've ever seen. And it's not unheard of, obviously, to get allergies or these kinds of autoimmune reactions in any point of your life, But can that sort of thing also be brought on by, well, he just hasn't been around a lot of microbiology diversity in the air or whatever. Is that a similar thing? Are we on a totally different track? It could be. Allergies are a little bit not mysterious, but that's the wrong word. Allergies can be surprising because they, as you're implying, they can pop up later in life.

Sure. Just out of nowhere, it seems. And it's just your body detects an invader and decides, some reason that this is a problem and then develop and then produces a bunch of antibodies to to deal with it and then once that happens a lot of times your immune system's now primed to react to that every time it shows up right but it maybe it doesn't do that when you're a kid but it for some reasons decides to do it when you're just like when you happen if i drove if i flew to india today and i ate indian food street indian food and drank the water there's about a 99.9%

chance that i will have the shits for the following week and probably a worm by the time I come home. Now, the people live in there, drinking the same water, eating the same street food, are all having beautiful solid package poops all week. And that's an example of this, right? You introduce yourself to the biome that isn't the one you're you need or are used to or that is the diversity that you are in. And if you don't slow ramp to it, you're going to have that problem. And I don't mean there are foods like, how do I explain it. There's just like, there's stuff in there that they don't, it's not a problem for them. But if I eat it, I'm dead. I'm done. You know, I need bottled water and

they've developed immunity to it. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy how that works. Because, you know, if they came here and ate a McDonald's burger, they probably, I don't know, they're going to have a same reaction, but it's not in their biome either, you know? Yeah. Anyway. So one of the ways that they've thought about, uh, proposed solving this problem is, um, it's a little bit difficult to solve the problem. But, you know, they kind of need to, as I was saying earlier, they kind of need to sterilize a lot because of the experiments that they're doing up there. So there are critical areas that need to be sterilized where the experiments are happening and other places. But there are, but in general, if you weren't considering that, then a solution might be to say,

limit the amount of sterilization that happens so that they can continue to be exposed by certain things that happen up there, you know. And so they think maybe one way to solve this problem is to, with future space stations, because I don't think they're trying to reorganize the international space station. I think there's a lot of, there's been for years and years talk of decommissioning. Yeah. The ISS. What do you do with that when you do that, by the way? You just push it and have it float out somewhere? Or what do you do? Do you just keep it? No, no. They would, they would deorbit it and it would make it crash land somewhere on Earth. that's what they would do.

Hopefully no, we're populated. And it's not too hard for them to do that in a controlled way. Yeah, they're like space men. They're space experts. I know what's up. Yeah, they are. So they're thinking, next time we organize something like that, maybe it's as simple as, say, put critical areas of sanitation necessity on one end of the space station,

whereas you have other ones just on the other end, because, you know, you're moving a lot between, like, living quarters, but maybe not as much in these experimental areas. So something as simple as that, but it's important to understand how to deal with this for future longer missions. We're thinking about putting permanent space stations on the moon, for example. We're thinking about going to Mars. Like, these are longer-term solutions, and we'd like it if people could be as healthy as possible, not just before they go, but while they're up there and when they get back as well. Yeah, no doubt. I have a quick follow-on to the question about charcoal-infused underwear.

Would you like to hear? Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. So here's an actual, there were actual studies done. They had some in the 90s, but they did one. The most recent study that they referred to here is one from 2005. I'll give you a link and I can actually show it too. But this is currently where I'm getting, this is the National Library of Medicine,

which is the National Center for Biotechnological Information. Anyway, they go into all the stuff and all the things they did for the test. It's said here, they did a variety of charcoal-containing devices purported to minimize problems with ophurious rectal gas, the stinky stuff. We don't care if it doesn't reek. That's not even the problem, right? None of these, according to the results, worked to stop the air. Okay, that's not the thing. But it says here in their conclusions, the ability of charcoal-contained devices or containing devices to absorb oferious rectal gases is limited by incomplete exposure.

of the activated carbon in the gases or to the gases rather briefs made from carbon fiber are highly effective pads are less effective uh pads will only remove 55 to 77 percent they say in in effect if you're wearing underwear made of that material like the entirety of it you will and then they like 99 percent of all stink out of those it's all all the all the all the what do you columns. They gave it a name. Particles or they call it here. They keep calling it all furious, but what's the? How do you think, how do you think

these people responded to the doji meals? What's a doji meal? Is that a a doji email? Tell me five things you did last week. I thought a doji meal was a thing you'd eat and then you'd fart a lot. I was thinking farts, so I stayed with meal. I don't know how these people felt. The National Library of Medicine,

they're probably one guy there now in a basement, keeping it all together. I don't know how it's going. He's doing important work, though. Yeah, but good news. If you were hoping to cut down on the fartage, apparently if you get some good charcoal fiber underwear, you're in good shape on the plane.

I'm going to try this. I'm going to try this, guys. Okay. And I'm also going to put it in there so you can see it, Bobby, if you wanted to read it. Hey, Bobby, speaking of science and regular updates on the science community and what's going on over there, you have this show called All Around Science.

Tell us more and where to get it. Oh, yeah, the science podcast I do. I should tell you about it. It's called All Around Science. My co-host, Mora, and I talk about science every week. We try to cover something in science news that's going on, but also a lot of times we just talk about whatever we're interested in and whatever is going on in the science world.

And I don't remember what we talked about in this past week, but you should check it out. It must have been amazing, though. It must have been really memorable. It was, you know, it was a crazy weekend, and it was crazy me preparing for what I had to, I think my brain, I just purged my brain of what it was in. Oh, now I remember. I talked about the plant immune system. Oh.

It just took me like, like so long to prepare for that. I was so ready to be done thinking about it. Yeah, yeah. So like plants and how they're immune to conditions. Yeah, we have an immune system, you know, that's, that's microscopic. cellular level immune system and I'd never thought about it before but plants also have an immune system

and it works differently than ours and it's really really interesting how it works that makes sense some plants do really well in caustic environments others don't I assume there's something there with that speaking of my co-host she's gonna be in Vegas oh yeah I saw that she was in the mini golf list that's so cool that's great

she's gonna be there and oh speaking of the mini golf list I wanted to say one thing real fast you mentioned earlier that I was putting together that spreadsheet and we're having people sign up if everyone who signs up if you put yourself on the as that you're looking for a group

me and Brian will be the only we want to be the only people moving names into putting people into groups if you put your name there only because we don't want things to get weird yeah yeah like not weird like socially weird

that's not what I'm talking about No, but it's socially weird when a husband and wife gets split up and put into different groups. That's socially weird. That's socially weird. And socially weird things are going to happen in Vegas, right? Yeah, it's already. But just weird, like, logistically, how the page works and all this kind of stuff. You know, there's, if we want everybody to have access to the spreadsheet to be able to use it, we also can't lock it down in a way that makes it so that you can't mess it up.

So it's easy to mess things up. So we just, Brian and I should move names across, you know. So that sheet is, I know we talked about it earlier, but that's linked on the TMS. It is. It's linked on TMS.Vegas under the mini golf section. So go put your name on there. And if you already have four people together, including you that want to do it, then great. Go to the right side. If you are a single person or even a couple who's like, yeah, we don't, go ahead and put us with whoever, then you'll automatically get added.

Yeah. And if you, if there's a person that's a three, like a two or three person group that has a slot and you have already talked to those people and said, hey, I want to be in your group. Then you can put your name there. You can do it. Yes, exactly. If you have put your name on the, like, nope, don't, only me and Brian will move names from the looking for group list to the, to the groupings. Just to make sure that, and we're doing it completely first, first in, first out. We're not trying to say, oh, this person would go really well with this group. It's like, yeah, we're not making. Name number one goes into available slot number one, you know, basically is how it goes. So I have a listener and a neighbor who really, him and his wife really want to group up with us.

You're saying I shouldn't do anything like that in here. I should, that should have. I think you've already been put into a group. Oh, am I in a group now? Yeah, did you? I don't know. Maybe I am. I don't see my name on here, though.

Did I enter my stuff? You've already been put in on the right side. Oh, these are looking for groups. Okay. Yes, you've already been put into the right side. Okay, so I've already been pushed around or put wherever I'm going to be. Yes. Okay.

All right, that's fine. It doesn't matter to me where I'm at. Hopefully, hopefully you're somebody signing you up for their group you're aware. Oh, you know what? I'm in the group that I was, see that Josh there? That's him. That's the guy. Well, there you go.

Okay, good. All right. Sweet. The looking for group side is really it's just intended for people who are like, who are saying like, oh, I'm coming, but I don't really care. care where I get put. I just, you know, like, I'm here by myself or just me and my spouse or something like that. We're here and we don't care. LFG. Just put us somewhere. Yeah. Just like World Warcraft. You don't know, you want to go raid, but no one's on your team. You're looking for

raid. And last aside, Brian, you know what I thought about. Maybe it's too late for this. Maybe not. We should think about next year signing, like creating a, like a, like a, like a, what do you call it? Form? No, not even that. I was thinking, um, a mail. mailing list, like a newsletter. Oh, that's not a bad idea. And just say, here's some new things that have come about. You'll need to do this now. Yeah, it's just an easy way.

We have all that. I get it on the store when we do this a ticket. So I have everybody's email. Exactly. You would have email addresses and everything. We have all that. So we can use it. We could use it now if you want it.

This concludes our TMS Vegas. We'd want to do it before tickets go out. Like, we'd want to do it really early in the process before tickets go on sale just because there's other things that people need to sign up for. But it would be a way to. let people know, hey, tickets are now on sale, here's a link. Yeah, yeah. That's great. Not everybody's on the Discord. Not everybody's listening

to the show regularly, stuff like that. Sure. Well, Bobby, having you here? Pleasure as always. All right. I've taken up enough of your time. Bye. Have a great week. We'll see you next time. All right. He didn't take up hardly any time. Look, we have Wednesdays with Randy and Nicole.

That's what taking time is. That's a time taker. What Bobby did? That ain't taking no time. We're good. Right. Right. Well done, everybody. That's going to do it for today's show. Quick note. Actually, I moved a couple calls down here because of our top heavy show today. So these got moved. I got a couple of things for you. Real quick. This is Seth about the C-word and its use cases and also bald people and their use cases. Okay. All right. Excellent. We talked a little bit about both these things last week. So anyway, here it is.

Hey, Scott and Brian. Seth from Philly. Just listen to the whole bald comment litigation. happening in the great britain yeah the seawords a lot worse and also brian i like you bald head it's very sexy i cannot believe that that was the guy offended by crazy brits yeah so he thinks you have a sexy bald head that guy well thanks Seth yeah appreciate it but i keep it shorn just for just for comments like that so thank you a lot of other stuff from the brits saying yeah the seward's pretty bad here too i i always thought it was a little less bad but what do i know you guys sure use it a lot Also, too. Yeah, I think it's still got to be like a level four out there to the level 10 that is out here. Or at the very least, just kind of a number of uses comparison is just higher there than we use it.

Right, right. It's part of a little bit more frequently heard and so less, yeah, less thrown out. Now, I don't know how you say the C word in Yiddish, but Amy has some Giddish comments. Oh, thank goodness. Here we go. Hey, guys, it's your friend Amy. I just wanted to weigh in on the Yiddish. British for cheat is schnoop. So a use case would be, you know, ugh, the deli was really schnop with the locks today, meaning they didn't put enough locks on your bagel.

So schnop. Love the show. Shnup. Not chintzy, which we found out was a whole different, different, came from a whole different part of the world. Yeah. India, right? India, I think, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was. Yeah. Yeah, the fabric chintz. That's right. Yeah. And I. So shn't. schnut. So if I say to Kim, boy, really schnutt with the steak today. What's going on there?

Yeah. Look if I only got a four-ounce steak. She'd go, what are you talking about? That's what she'd say. Well, that's great. Thank you for that. I don't know any Yiddish. So learning a little something there about the Yiddish. Amy, appreciate it. She's in the chat as well. Hi, Amy. How you doing? Hello. Oh, we could find out. You want to know what Brian's hair would look like? We could do, in their websites. You just upload a photo and it would give him a hairstyle. Well, it doesn't know what pattern, like, my hair would grow in. Like, when Tina, her hair started growing back after cancer, it came in, like, super curly, which I know was a factor of the chemo and stuff like that. But also, you know, it would start right about here. The back would come in super long because that's the part I have to trim most often,

but the top and. So that photo of you with the art palette and then on the, kind of mullet the high school era hair it was a college sadly oh was it college i want to see that do you have that handy we show people i don't i don't know where it is i think you've got what's if i thought i had it but i can't find it i know would i've saved that under mullet

that's my hard part is i don't know what i like i have a billion files with your name in it and i know most of them are sound files um you know there's always this this file called transibit which is kind of funny in its own way but Geez. Yeah, maybe transparent, folks. Transparent. Not that there's anything wrong with that. No, nothing at all. I don't see it. So if you ever find it, though, it would be fun to share with that, folks. It's certainly not this one right here of me with a mullet.

Whoa, look at this one. Yeah. I don't know that. I still have that thing. I should sell it on eBay, that dumb. I forgot what it was from. What was the deal? McDonald's Happy Meal. It was like a... Happy Meal, but what was the thing? Patrick Lamar, no, is that artist, whoever that artist is that came up with that. Oh, is it a character.

Oh, the guy that was in Fortnite and all huge in Fortnite. Right, exactly. Travis Scott. That's it. No, my dad, Rainbow Bright, my dad has a full head of hair, really good hair. My dad has. It comes to your mom's dad, right? It comes from your mom's dad.

Yeah, your paternal grandfather, maternal grandfather is where it comes from. And poor Tristan doesn't have a shot because my mom's dad was super bald. See, I should have been. My mom's dad was very bald, like at a young age. My dad was very bald even though it wasn't come through his side. But all the factors working against me, and I ended up having hair. So I don't know how that was. I guess it's Tina's dad is the one that's super bald that affects Tristan.

My mom's dad is the one that affected me. Oh, gotcha. Yeah. So my mom. You're exactly right. Maternal grandfather. So mother's dad, right? Yeah.

Mother's dad. Yep. Yeah. So I don't know how I escaped it. I'm an anomaly. I'm an outlier. Although it's pretty thin. It's getting thin.

I was going to say, is this escaping it? Well, I mean, you know, my dad was bald by 32. I kept it pretty, pretty, you know, still here. It's a little thin. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. It's a little bit of a five-head. You think so?

You've got a very prominent, a very lovely and attractive forehead, Scott. And it's... Oh, definitely receding. question. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah. There's no doubt about that. Here's my favorite picture, Brian, holding this Pokemon. Oh, yes. I have that hanging up right there, as a matter of fact. That was a fun one to do. Jiggly puff. Jiggly puff. All right, well, that's it. Although aridactyl is my favorite Pokemon, but I can't hold an aridactal. In Russia, aridactal, hold you. That's a truth over there. All right, that is going to do it for

us. By the way, those voicemails we've been getting all day. They'll come to us at voicecast. TMS. Use it as frequently as you'd like. It's linked on the side as well, which of course is frogpants.com slash TMS. And we'd love to get your calls. So keep those coming. Your text and all that. Oh, they've added texting to the thing. So you can actually go there and choose between them and say, yeah, I'm going to record a voicemail. Or there's a tab that just lets you send a message. The idea is here we can keep it on one place, not have to have you go to 10 places. So if you want to send us a message, use that. It's free. You don't have to log in. You don't have to tell us who are even if you don't want to. Just go, send us a text or send us a thing.

All right, that's it. Brian, let's get out of here. Play a song. Sure. Well, it's really funny that Tim Watson, TRPW, just submitted a title based on foreheads and zombie by the cranberries because we're playing a cover of that today. Grandmaster Jarf wrote in and said, greetings, Scotch and Brandy. I wanted to dedicate a cover of zombie by the cranberries to my friend Jeff. He passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday. February 26th, in his sleep. He's been a good friend of mine for over 30 years, and I have the most fond memories of the days

when we played D&D for hours, even days on end. He introduced me to the world of the cranberries and my love of Wolverine. May you rest in peace. Jeff, thank you guys, for all you do. Love the show, though. Signed, Grandmaster, Jarf. Nice.

Yeah, so sorry to hear about that. And there's a lovely dedication there, Grandmaster. We've played quite a few different versions of zombie on the show, and I don't think we've played this one. This is by a singer named Lauren Strange. This was a single that she released several years ago. It is her take on zombie. It's got a little bit of a harder edge to it, but not quite as hard an edge as shoot.

What was the band, Wolf? White Wolf. Who's the band that did a cover of it? I don't know. Kind of a common one, like when we've heard a lot of. Yeah, one with Bad Wolves, recently, oh, not recently, 2018, when Dolores O'Rearitan passed away, they did a cover of zombie. Bad Wolves did. Oh, I think you played that back then, I think.
