Here's an entertainer at her piano as you'd see her on the standard size picture. Now just switch on the electronic magnifier and there. You're so close you can follow every facial expression, every gesture. So wonderfully close. Pretend I didn't hear that last remark.

The morning stream. Looks like we missed the party. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It is Monday. The 16th of June, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott.

Hi, Brian. Good morning. Welcome to a new week. Yeah, man. I saw a very funny video. Speaking of Scott Fletcher, who just spoke to us moments ago. Yeah. Yeah. So a great video of him out doing his yard work, and it's on Facebook or something. And he says he does this every time he gets the chance. If there's a rake on the ground, he will walk up to it like he's got force powers

and then slowly press his foot on it and the stick will come up to his hand and then act all triumphant that he has force powers. I love that. As soon as you said, Rake, I was thinking he was going to do the side show Bob, you know. It's one of the great uses, use cases of Rakes ever is the side show Bob moment. But I think this one's safer, and it's also just proof that he's one of the ultimate dad jokers of our time. He really is, yeah. Happy post-Fathers Day to all you fathers out there. Hope you're coming down from your Father's Day hangovers.

Yeah, ours was all right. We tried to go to breakfast early to our favorite place. This place called Hash Kitchen. Amazing place. Just the best breakfast food. And on a normal Sunday, just no problem, Brian. You get right in. Sure.

Whatever you want. You're good all day. Brunch, lunch, whatever. Doesn't matter. You're in plenty of seating. They have outdoor seating indoor. It's all great. But Sunday?

I don't know what we were thinking. Yeah. Going out for breakfast on Father's Day is a, it's a gamble. I'm almost, I'm kind of. embarrassed it's a little bit like we get there and went oh well of course what are we doing and it was so bad that there was like this giant line out and around the block uh people standing inside just trying to get on the list every every seat inside was absolutely full packed with people and then outside where there wasn't room in the line there were people clustered in sets of two to eight

under trees because it was warm getting shade waiting for their chance to get in line to get on a list to then wait for the thing oh my gosh yeah it sucked so i was like you know what kim since i'm the father in question here i don't want to go here let's not go here yeah yeah so we went somewhere else yeah and everything everything was fine but we did notice this and my wife got her first ticket in like 20 years oh speeding yes oh no kim and it was between stuff so i wasn't with her when this happened she had to run to Costco i was doing some of other things and then when she came back she's like well i got a ticket and i'm like i'm sorry you got a what because yeah i got a ticket and this guy this guy got her 20 over as she was trying to pass

somebody who was being really dumb and erratic so she was just trying to get out in front she's normally somebody who really she sticks to the rules she's not like a rule breaker but this was this moment of like to get in front of him and get out of his weird way because he's like texting and swerving and being an idiot she gets pulled over for going uh Sorry, doing 20 over the limit for that moment. And he's, she's really nice to him. And he gives her, well, I'm only going to mark you for five. So it's a little bit less money.

Okay. But be careful out there. And we thought, well, that seems weird. Is this a quota thing or what's going on? And then we noticed yesterday, as we're out driving around again, cops are everywhere. Oh, really? Yeah. And I think it must have been the no Kings Day stuff or something.

We had a big shooting in town. I know. well I should say big shooting a shooting I mean a shooting there could have been a lot worse apparently right like this guy was armed for bear but um you know it could have been a lot worse cops got it killed one person sadly but looked like if he could have gotten a higher position a position he could have done a lot worse yeah it's always a whack ado with these things um anyway he did his thing and that I think probably sparked just a big reaction so the whole weekend cops everywhere and so we counted I don't know six different policeman in a stretch of road to get to this restaurant where there are never cops. They're just never there. And they're all hiding behind trees and hiding behind billboards and, you know, doing their clock and people speed and all that stuff. So it's really, really stupid.

So anyway, we ended up at a place that was fine and we had some nice time together. And we ate, you know. Good. I went and bought this shirt at Sam's Club on our way home. Just because they had a sale on these. It looks like, now that you're pulling, like it looks like it's one of those wicking, like, workout shirts right like that material nice and light good to be in the sun actually has a uv protection so like it doesn't let any uh if you wear it long sleeve it doesn't let any sun through it i have two white

ones like this and so we saw them on sale and like good let's get this gray one nice this is a lovely day and then the kids all came over later and we did our whole thing and it was pretty uneventful after that you know no no big issues although van cut his hair he got his hair completely shaved so not what you said he cut his hair like not like he did himself like you see those pictures of kids who do own like cut their hair when uh parents aren't wear okay good he had his hair cut yeah he called it the cutting station even though that is not the name of the hair place he says cutting station he goes but he goes pops look at me i went to the cutting station and i said oh my gosh and i played i did that whole play dumb thing like where's van i don't see where van went who's this kid

this isn't man and he's like for a second there had this look in his eyes like does he really not know it's me you know so he had this little back and forth but he had his hair like all that beautiful, flowy, you know. Oh, right. Amazing hair, this kid. Just so nice and shiny and soft. Cut it all off. This is where they figure out, like, what their, you know, what their look is going to be

for a little while, right? Like, you see the kids who have the really long, like, Randy's son Will has, like, really long hair, kind of like his dad. Mm-hmm. Yeah. But then you've got the other kids who, like, really want it short and want to send that message. so hey you know this is him he's figuring out what's his what's his youthful look going to be for

yeah for the next little bit i think around around the age of i don't know what was he now six and a half they start to notice and it was his choice he's like mom i want to get a haircut and she was like fine you can totally do that's your choice but here's the before and after just for funsies that's the wow you didn't have it long look at now he's that if anything it added i mean this would be a great time for it to be on the lamb because he doesn't look like the same kid No, he totally doesn't. Oh, that hair looks great, though. There's a little bit, I don't know, a little bit of a Scott and Kim Johnson kind of look to that hairstyle.

Not quite the buzz with the thing up in the middle, but at least from the side, there's a little bit of... Got the more in the back than I do, certainly. But, yeah, this top business up here. But, I mean, look at this glorious freak, whoops, this glorious hair here. All gone, man. Gone. Oh, you're sounding so much like a grandparent, why did you cut off all your beautiful hair? I know, it was so, it was so cute.

It's like our grandparents, why did you have to get a tattoo and ruin all your beautiful skin? Yeah, there was a little bit of that, but it was mostly that it was cool that he got to choose and, you know, we're happy about that. Anyway, what did you get up to? I did, so, yeah, so Saturday did the big ride, this was, well, a big ride. ride, not the big ride, which is in a couple of weeks, but road up Highway 36, along Highway 36, big, like this is some major hills, one right after another. And this is where I ended up, I'll put it in our Discord, you can show that photo. Sure. This is the top of Highway 36 overlooking the Boulder Valley.

Oh, beautiful. And that's the city of Boulder off there in the distance and the Flatiron Mountains and, you know, the, the. Rockies further out there and it's very nice yeah do you talk to these ladies I didn't and the one on the lift is a dude oh well then then look at me making assumptions fantastic you know it's hard to tell sure um no I didn't talk to them at all though although um I'm kind of bummed I didn't think about it but a lot of people had well I say a lot of people I saw four cyclists up on the top of this hill kind of waiting as we were resting to go back down um with just cardboard signs that they had made and put on their bikes that said no more kings or no kings

I'm like oh I like that that's I should have thought to do that since I didn't go to the protest this is a good alternative to to that and so that was Saturday and then went to um Trinina went out for a little nice dinner oh we that's right we um so so I've got a friend it wasn't why we're not talking about this. But I got a friend who is dealing with some major medical issues, some cancer. She's going through chemo treatment. But she's on the way periphery of my friend's circle.

I talked to her maybe, like last time that I really talked to her was about four or five years ago. She's somebody that I talked to very occasionally. But it heard the last couple weeks that she was going through this. And so I said, you know, hey, Tina and I are. thinking, text her, hey, Tina and I are thinking about you. You know, let me know if there's anything you need. You know, we're happy to help. Because we knew that she was in a hospital down on the far end of town.

And she replied back the next day, fresh fruit. I need fresh fruit, watermelon, kiwi, red grapes. Don't have anything here. I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, sure, absolutely. So Tina and I, like, we went to the store. We got some fresh fruit. She cut it all up, put in little Tupperware things. and we drove the hour

hour and 15 minutes down to her end of town the other end of Denver on the way to Castle Rock and took him there and got to see her and like it was the last time we had seen her in person was during COVID she came over. She's also one of my clients, one of my website clients. And I was

thinking, you know, Tina, I've said that and I always mean it when I say it when I text somebody or I call somebody or I speak to somebody and I say, hey, let me know if there's anything you need, whatever you need. You know, do it. And I always mean, it 100% sure this i think is the first time somebody said yeah i need something fresh fruit like i need you know what they've actually said i need something they gave you an actionable item i love that

they gave you an actionable need that i was able to fulfill so that's great while we were at that end of town we went to ikea and ikea we had we had a very specific thing in mind that we wanted to pick up i needed some trays for the um the lab cover lab um for putting 3d prints on when they're draining and stuff like that but you always go in there and It's like, oh, yeah, I didn't know I needed that, but I need it now. And something fun. I finally, you know, I've been trying to figure out how to display all those iPods, the different generations of iPods. Oh, right.

And I, ah, this is great. That's right. You're going to put them under glass or like one of those glass. Yeah. No, I found, I found the shelf, the perfect shelf, which is going to allow me, it's even got a little, I don't know if you can see it, a little track in there. Oh, I see. A little divot. A little divot, yeah.

Oh, that's where you put the edge. would stand up yeah except i think i'm i'm i'm just going to ignore that little divot like for right now the divot's going to work as a place to put them while i 3d print yeah um things that'll go inside that'll actually support them and put a little cord a cable in through the bottom so that i can have them all charged oh right because you want them running that's right i want them all i want them all at least the ones with screens so that thing right there is not you didn't print that that's the thing you just got right that's the shelf i bought from ikea for 10 bucks and then it'll perfectly hold like it's kind of a perfect size for having um for each model there'll be a little

square box the cord will come in through the bottom and then it'll have a back to it to support the the um iPod up at a certain height i like it you can invite people over to look at your iPod shrine you know exactly yes exactly um so then uh sunday so i got up i made uh we'd already done the father's day stuff with Tristan on Thursday night so for Father's Day Tristan had to work which is why we pushed it

I went to I'm sorry I got up in the morning I cooked Tina pancakes on the Blackstone Grill here's what I love about making pancakes on the Blackstone Grill as opposed to making them in the house I can make the batter

and then do all six pancakes all at once and not have to sit there and be cooking one and trying to eat while it's hot and cooking. Flip that one over, try and take another bite while it's hot. It's like, oh, it sucks. No, I can do all six pancakes.

They're hot. Flip them all off the grill. Clean the grill really quick. Close it up. Pancakes are still hot too and I can eat together. Totally, absolutely 100% on board with that. Because when normally you end up with two problems, one, the one you just described and two, when you're pouring at the thing, you barely, sometimes you leave batter.

And it's like, I don't want to deal with this leftover batter. What are we going to do with it? No, man. Just make all the cakes. They're all hot. I put some butter on the griddle first and then sliced up banana so they caramelized on the griddle before I did the batter. And then I just, I grouped the little banana pieces into little circle areas. And then I poured the batter on top of them so that the batter would kind of, you know, that the pan bananas would be inside the batter.

Didn't even need syrup on those like it was so good. Should do some blueberries next time. Oh, I know. If we had them, I would. would have. That was, we, we, uh, we had a lot of, uh, leftover watermelon kiwi and red grapes from taking everything to Sarah on Saturday. And those, none of those would have worked in the, uh, pancakes. Sure. And then I took teen on a mystery date, um, an hour and a half in the other direction up north past Fort Collins to the morning fresh dairy. And this is, um, it's a, it's a, it's a,

it's a dairy that has been around for such a long time. There is a one room schoolhouse on the property where the eight generations of family members would teach the kids. And the teenagers, and like, you'd have, basically, you'd have classes, like, all this homeschooling going on the 1800s and early 1900s, where you had a five-year-old and a 25-year-old in the same class. Dang, man. Yeah. That's wild.

So I assume it's, like, amazing cheese and milks. It's amazing cheese, dairy. The, Nusa yogurt, if you're familiar with Nusa yogurt. This is where they produce it. Oh, no way. Yeah. Basically, they do all their, so they, they're predominantly delivery milk service like your regular.

But anything left over automatically goes to Nusa. And then on the weekends, everything they produce from the cows who are milk three times a day, goes right to Nusa. And these guys, so Morning Fresh is lauded for being one of the, one of the most humane dairies in the country. for their treatment of their cows. And we got to see this thing called the dairy go around, which is amazing. It's like a carousel that the cows walk into and they go around. Takes about 13 minutes to go around.

The dude's underneath there. He puts the little milking things on their udders. And then they slowly go around. And then they kind of back out at the end. There's like a board that a cow, because of the way he sees, kind of sees as just like this immovable object, even though it's just kind of a hanging like a floor mat like you'd have in your car.

They're like, oh, I'm backing out. And they back out and walk back into the field or the barn if it's hot out. I thought you're going to say that these things that they drop in front of them look like pastures so that they... Because cows are so stupid, you know? Right.

Oh, I'm in the wild. I'm out here looking at the beautiful pasture. Like a painting? like the Wiley Coyote painting where he runs into it with his... Yeah, that's what I was imagining, but... Sure. It's amazing, though. The cow a cell or dairy go-round.

You've got to look it up online. It's really cool. And then we get to hang out with their calves. They had six brand-new baby calves. I'll put that photo up to give you in our Discord. These are just some babies that we got to kind of hang out with. Look at them. They're cute.

Really sweet. Yeah. They're dumb as rocks, but cows are great. But they give great milk, and they're so delicious. Oh, yes. Puteer steak. So we, yeah. Exactly.

So we brought back some, they have root beer milk there, and we brought some of that back, and it's really good. Taste just like what's left after a root beer float. I did say he sees. I meant she, yeah, there, exactly. It's all female cows there. And, and, gross, what's left from a float. Like, yeah, like the root beer and vener.

ice cream mix? Oh, my God, dude. I know. I know. I'm in a limited, I'm in a limited category. I'm in a category of people who don't like root beer floats, and I know we're in the minority, but man, do I hate them. They gross meat out. I'm glad you got it, though. That's good. And then stopped off at Buckees on the way home for, we split a brisket sandwich and some chips and called it a day. Oh, and then we took crazy neighbor out for his birthday. We went to a really foo-food japanese restaurant that was all small plates and he and i split a an eighty-three dollar eighty-three dollar bottle of sake good lord yeah why so much just a nice one because it's a really really nice one is a very smooth ginjo um or jinjo uh uh sake very like very um sharp on the

front end and no after taste afterwards like it was it was a it was a one of the smoothest sake is I've ever had. Oh, my gosh. I'll keep going. Sorry. Oh, no, he's just, you know, just, it was his birthday. So we're like, all right. Yeah, we can, we'll splurge.

Yeah, splurge, a little buddy splurge. That's what that is. Exactly, exactly. Speaking of drinks and they're vintage. Perfect timing for the wine discussion. There's an amazing transition. We're going to hear from Barry. Yeah.

Who has this to say about our wine discussion the other day. Hey, Scott, Brian, and Travis on the wine references on today's show, Tuesday's TMS. The sparkling wine Kava is usually from northeast part of Spain. The frangolino is northern Italy, and the Cerdon is from the eastern part of France, and those are typically spark

sparkling rosés. Did not know that and I'll check that out. For the Rioja, Travis, you nailed it. That's a red wine region in Spain. Volnais is a red wine region in France, primarily Pinot Noir and the Frizzate is a white wine from the southern Italian area. Well, that's it

from your friendly neighborhood Somalié. Yeah, just in case you were wondering, it is likely that Barry is sitting there with about 15 bottles in front of him, about four cases inside of a velvet lined box in his car. That man lives, breathes, eats, drinks, and survives on wine. He loves wine. He is both certified and certifiable. Yep, he's all those things. So anything he says about wine, I believe, A, I believe, and B, even when he doesn't know a thing, like the sparkling wine thing. he'll look that up and now he'll know it forever go to him he is your walking Wikipedia wine man if you guys ever need advice

on the wines and according to Kim when she went to see their their place in Chicago that's not the end of it there's wine everywhere just oh I wouldn't I wouldn't doubt it I imagine he's got a whole cellar right

yeah and it's supposed to be super fancy and all categorized you know you can pick your berry getting all hardcore about that it's pretty awesome and his address is, just kidding, I'm not doing that. Yeah, we're planning hopefully on a trip out there in the fall.

We would have been over the summer and then the Washington, D.C. trip came about. Oh, and I probably, you know, if you're a listener in the Washington, D.C. area, hit me up because I've got some questions of my itinerary that kind of looking at and I want to see what things I shouldn't miss. We want to go to the Holocaust Museum and we want to do a bike. They have a really cool nighttime bike thing that goes around the basin and the reflecting pool. You see all the monuments, the MLK, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, just at dusk. Oh, wow. And it looks like it's going to be amazing. Do you do that on individual bikes or is it one of those?

Yeah, individual bikes. It's like a drinking car with the pedal. Right. I know the pedal bar. I don't know why I pictured that. It was the first thing I thought of. All right. Well, now we'll go from really, really. highfalutin taste to

some Oreos. Okay? That's what we're doing. We're doing it. Yeah. Look at this. What's what wrong with that at all? I agree. We got these from Mike Picholich. He sent me a sleeve of mild sweet Oreos. He sent Brian the same. Brian got some nice sugary ones too that he can eat at his leisure. I did, yes. But these are Korean.

Cinnamon bun and strawberry cream, baby. And the reason we know they're Korean is A, there is Korean. There's Oreo on one side, English. The other side says the same thing in Korean. And then on the back, it says, this is a Korean cracker. Oreos are Korean crackers, guys. Korean crackers. Did you know that?

Oreo is Korean for Cracker. Yeah. Who would have known? Yeah. Not me is the answer. This is interesting. It's got like little sleeves inside it that have one, two, feeling the outside. Two, three, four, five, six.

Yeah, that is odd. Why isn't it one big, long, like, we're all one big sleeve here in the States. Why? We are. We're weird. Weird, a little bit weird. Anyway, the key part of this, though, is they are called mild sweet, which Korean sweets, Japanese sweets, typically most Asian sweets, are way less sugar than here. They just, that's how they are naturally.

And I love good Asian candy is so good because I don't feel like I'm eating just like a bunch of corn syrup. They're just mildly sweetened, like kind of French pastry style where it doesn't feel overwhelmingly sweet. And so I'm thinking that's what we're going to get here. But we're going to find out together as I push a button. Watch a foodie. And we give these a shot. So looking at the sticker that says Curry and Cracker, it says two servings per container. This entire box is two servings.

And each one of these packs is a 250 calorie serving. Jeez. Really? Which, yeah, seems crazy. Like, I wouldn't eat this many Oreos in one sitting. No. Just one of these half packs? Well, I might in the right mood.

But you're right. You shouldn't. You shouldn't. Yeah, you really shouldn't. Two Oreos is a great little, you know, target for me. Now, these are very, very traditional looking. These are just the Oreo logo on the cookie, like always. They're not the thins or anything.

No, yeah, that's true. It's not even Korean. It's just Oreo. They're not like, what's the opposite of double stuff? I guess half stuff. Half stuff, normal stuff. I don't know. Average stuff.

Who knows what they call those? But yeah, it does look just like a regular Oreo. Now, how are the, they're not, so these aren't alternate sweeteneres. It's just mild sweet, whatever that means. Yeah. Um, this looks like the same amount of frosting in the middle. Mm-hmm. I was curious, I was going to pop it up and just to see if maybe it's just the outer ring to make it look like, uh, there's frosting, but it's like just one little squirt ring of frosting.

So it looks, there we go. Yeah, nothing fancy. It looks like these are just kind of, or if you put these on a plate and said, what are these? I'd say, oh, it's just a Dorias, what those are. And I'm curious to see if, um, I would never go. These are Korean crackers. I would never do that. Right.

I'm curious to see if the Oreo cookie and the filling are both half sweet. There we go. Oh, good point, right? Because they're sugar in both. Yeah. That's just a less intense Oreo.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's just less sweet. It's literally what it says. That is the perfect sweetness of an Oreo right there. Yeah. You know what? I want them all to be like this. Hey, America.

Totally. Hey, poor. We don't have to be poor anymore. Make this the default. Yeah. Oreo, the best go. Baseline Oreos right here. Or as we like to call them, Korean crackers.

Korean crackers. I think I might eat this whole sleeve now that I've had this first one. Yeah, now that we know A, this is a, this is a serving. It's a serving. Yes, one serving size. Yeah, these are great. Thanks, Mike Petrolick, once again, for your generosity. Also, it's just such a weird packaging.

You know, that's the other thing. I don't think you can go, I can't go to a store and get a thing like this. I don't think. No, uh-uh. Like this is for people, this is for people who aren't culturally disgusting. You know what, do you know what I mean? Right, exactly. This is for people that are moderate.

So easy to practice self-control. And 250 calories. I checked in there are five Oreos in each of these, each of these individual packets. So 50 calories per cookie, that's really good. That's not bad. What's a normal? I guess we should compare it, a normal Oreo. I could tell you, actually, based on one of the other ones that he sent me.

Oh, right. Which also is a Korean Cracker. They also say Korean Cracker on them? I guess they're the same brand or whatever. Yeah, so this one also has, oh, here we go. 40. Okay, so this is a 50 gram pack. So 10 grams per cookie.

That's about. This is 40. 40 something. Grams. So this is four cookies in each. There's two packets in here in 40, I'm sorry, four cookies in each one. 210 divided by four is 105, 52.5. Huh, 52.5 calories.

Oh, barely a difference. Barely a difference, yeah. And the sugar per cookie, that's hard to tell, isn't it? They don't really say. And the writing on this is so small. I can't read it. It's so small. Like it says, but I could not tell you.

Like that's bare, what is that? two-point font on that, the nutritional fact? Exactly. Yeah. If that, that might be a... It thinks a lot. Megabang Limited, Company Limited. Yeah.

That's hilarious. Do you see the name of their company? Right above, on the right side of that sticker that says Korean Cracker. Oh, here we go. That way, blah, blah, blah, blah. Go up, Republic of Korea, go up a little bit more. Megabang Limited, Company Limited. Wow.

Pretty limited. Yes. They're both... They're both a limited company and limited themselves. also don't like the only part I can read down there that says warning cancer and reproductive harm the hell you're doing there yeah Korean crackers I know I picture a white guy in Korea who lives there Korean Cracker that's even yeah Korean Cracker I got you I read you I love it I'm picking up what you're putting down yeah yeah well there you have it fun stuff

thank you Mike that was awesome yeah thank you Mike and Mike was nice enough to send me cinnamon bun and strawberry cream but I won't eat those on the show because here's the problem if I open up three of these little individual packets, then I will eat 15 cookies. Yeah, and we can't be... By my math. Yeah, we can't be doing that, you know. So maybe I'll do one tomorrow. How about that?

I'll eat one tomorrow and do it on the show. Fair idea. I love it. Let's do this right now. Hey, look who we have on the line with us. It's our pal Brian Dunaway who joins us each and every Monday, usually anyway, to a little bit of the old half-asses. What's going on, Brian? Oh, hi. It's gotten, Brian. What's going on, man? I don't know, man. It's a Monday, man.

Yeah, it's Monday. It's Monday, yeah. It's the sun's out. It is humid and just, I want to hide. Yeah, do you? Oh, it is hot down there. The heat we're all having in June. It's a little hot for June everywhere. A little much. It's fine. I don't know if it's fine. Yesterday was like 94 here. That was a lot. Now, we don't have the humidity. It's not a big deal. but we're going to Vegas in a couple of weeks. It's not the humidity.

That's right. I don't want Vegas to be 117 on the damn strip. That's all I'm saying. Okay. Well, this is like that. It's not the heat as humidity. It's not the soup. It's the wetness.

What is... Ew. Is that the thing? It's like that? No, I don't think so. I think that was just something I said. I don't like that at all. I don't like...

You don't like the wet soup? No, I don't like wet soup? No, but I don't like wet nothing. Don't give me no wet. You like dry soup? That's weird. A little dry soup. goes a long way, Brian.

Hey, we're going to play a game. This game is called the Monday morning half-asses, and it kicked me out for some reason. I'm getting back in. Don't know what happened there. There we go. There we go. We're going to play this together.

We're going to test each other's metal, or more accurately, Brian Ibit here will test our metal. And we're going to get started here with Brian explaining how the rules work. Sure. 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 full sugar Oreos, are incorrect. Depending on how confident you feel with the category, you can provide one, two, or three guesses. But if you get any of those guesses wrong, you get zero points for that round. Get one right and you get a point. Two right in your round gets you three points and three right, if you get all three of them right. You get five points total for that round. The player with the most points after three rounds was the price of their contestant. And I've pulled some contestants from members of the tadpool that aren't able to be here alive.

Scott, you're playing for Tim in Ghent, Belgium. Oh, hello, Tim. Damn. Belgium, man, Belgium. Yeah. Brian, you're playing for Brian, Belmore, appropriate. Oh, that's a lot of Brian. Wittonsville, Massachusetts.

That's right. Brian giving questions to Brian who's playing for Brian in Wittonsville. Is it an all-brien episode. That's right. Hope you're ready for it. All right. Well, cool. I'm excited to play for both these people and win some shit for them.

Me too. I hope all of our questions today are Starsky and Hutch. Oh, my gosh. they are way have you watched it yet for our film psych this coming weekend not not yet i'm looking forward to it i think that uh what was that a four grand terino or something yeah with a white chick mark i wonder i wonder if you'll be super into that car or not in the episode that we haven't recorded yet i wonder if you'll be into that's right you know make sure to talk about i mean is soup with versus the grand terino and which is uh i mean maybe brine you never know until

we get on to that episode, what we're going to, it's going to be crazy what we're saying. That's right. Oh my God. What am I going to do for a song? Anyway, let's get your first question here. Countries with at least one active volcano. Which of these countries have at least one active volcano? Your choices are New Zealand, Ukraine, Finland, Cameroon, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Venezuela. I always like Cameroon is how I should say Cameron. Right, Cameroon? Yeah, Cameroon Crow. Love Movies by Cameroon Crow. Active.

Active volcano. Some of them are really lazy. Like this idle volcano just sitting there on the couch. Because I think there are, you know, there are many volcanoes that are dormant. But these are active, meaning they could pop at any time. They're smoldering all the time. That kind of thing. A little bit of a little wisp of smoke coming out of the top.

All right, Brian's locked in. Yeah, so am I. Got deciding. Oh, okay, he's locked in as well. I figure Mordor's got to be on fire, right? Yeah, Mordor, boy, if Mordor was concluded on the list. Ecuador, not Mordor, but Ecuador. You guys both settled on Ecuador.

Yeah, Ecuador does have an active volcano. Very good. It's on the equator, which is related to one we asked recently, right? It is, yes, it was the last week thing, yeah. And then you guys split from there. One of you chose Finland, the other one of you chose New Zealand. That was your Mordor comment, right? Right, you got it.

You nailed it. I know, I understand. You got me. I get you. Well, you can't just walk into, you can't just walk in a morador and expect an active volcano. But you can expect one in New Zealand. New Zealand does. Ah, shit.

I figured they shot it on location. I mean, come on. Yeah, but that wasn't a real, the thing they were throwing the ring in. I don't think was a real. Are you telling me? Are you telling me that Smigel was not like, Oh, no. Wretches.

Yeah, I'm going to say that he wasn't like that at all. I'm going to say, right. Fine. Sorry, yeah. Sorry to burst your bubble there. Congratulations. All right, Brian, going into round two with three points. Scott getting some points on the board, hopefully, in this round.

Question is, name characters that you'd find in the Iliad. You know, Homer's Epic, the Iliad. Yeah. Go. Your choices are. Demon X. Atomadon, Zonocrates, Ajax, Phoenix, and Gorgias. Good Lord.

Oh, there's just gorgeous. Gorgeous. I love this place. It might be automadon, but I think it's Atomedon. Atomedon. Retro-Rot, Automodon. I don't know. Zeno crates.

Zeno-crate. Zeno crates. Oh, my gosh, dude. Tell us about the things you've learned at, at, uh, Wal-A, Lou Zeno crates. Sometimes I'm in the mood to go back to those movies and then there's times where I'll never touch them again, but then I kind of want to go back. I don't know. I heard that the two of them were at the Tonys because they do have a, they have a play that the two of them star in that is completely not Bill and Ted.

But they were, it was weird to see Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves at the Tony Awards last week. That is weird. Yeah, they win anything? Are they just presenting? No, just they're presenting. Just bring you some, you know, some people from the past, you know. Of course, the red carpet. Is there another Bill and Ted reunion on the horizon?

Let us just get through this play and then we'll talk. That's great. Yeah. Love it. All right. You guys are both locked in and, let's see, all over the board here. You both did settle on Demon X, D-E-M-O-N-A-N-X. I mean, it sounds like one, right?

It does. It totally does. You'd find them in the Iliad. I'm just going to go right off the bat and say no. That's a... Oh, shit. Yeah. Demon X, Gorgias, and Xenocrates are all philosophers.

No. No one's going to... Who's going to take Demon X? Seriously. He's like, yes, life is like a box of chocolate. Shut up, Demon Axe. Your name is too weird. Exactly.

Exactly. I'm not listening to anything the philosopher, Demon X says. I just don't trust him. There you go. All right. We down to our last question here. Scott, you do. put some points on the board, Brian, you're, you've got three.

So play strategically, I guess, both of you. I guess. You go to Japan, you walk around Tokyo, and you see that that's part of the, you need to go do that, please. As you walk around, you see vending machines all over the place. And in them, you'll find coffee drinks. Which of these are real coffee drinks you will find in Japan? A little canned or contained coffee. Your choices are, bitter, last day.

B.M. Coffee. Sprite, Sparkle coffee, D. Presso coffee, and Black Boss. Which of you are real coffee drinks you'll find in Japan. I'm just going for it. Scott lucked in immediately. He had his three days in, yeah. Let's see. I guess I shouldn't tell you how many he chose, right?

Oh, you don't have to. I don't know. I was only going on one. It didn't matter what he went for. Yeah. Okay. Good. I'm going to hope for that knot tie. All right. Scott you know let's just get Brian out of the way here Brian chose one no he chose last day yeah that is not a Japanese coffee drink

wow very dang it now we're gonna move on well that's good for Scott because if he didn't pick last day there's a good odds for him yeah exactly Scott chose black boss black boss is a coffee drink in Japan okay I knew it'd have to be one of these had to be very

comfortable to say, so we're going with that. Yes, well, that's the one. Number two, the accurately named BM coffee. B.M. Coffee. Yeah. Before morning, or is it bowel movement? Sure. I don't know. Actually, that'd be a good question to see what the B.M. stands for. In this case, it stands for correct. Scott, B.M. Coffee is a Japanese. Look at you, Johnson. Again, it just seems very Japanese to do this. So I'm feeling good about my method here.

Well, maybe you're trained Japanese. It's just third. It's my methods. Yeah, go ahead. Now, your third choice, Sprite Sparkle Coffee. Yeah. Kind of sounds like something that somebody might have sent to us in the past to try on the show. Oh, doesn't it? Oh, I don't know. I don't remember that if we did. Yeah.

Nobody sent that one to us. Spite Sparkle Coffee is not real. D.Presso. So deep presso. It's like D with two E's. With two. Almost like deep preso. Right.

But also like depresso, like, oh, this coffee is really making me sad. I'm so sad. I almost did that one. Dang it. I should have gone with it. So Sprite Sparkle coffee, just the sparkle in there. I don't know.

I was worried about the sparkle. Marbonated coffee, right? Yeah. It seems like something I could easily get. And here's the truth of it all. There's probably something like that in Japan because they have underwear in those damn machines. They have everything. Yeah.

They're crazy over there. Sometimes you get underwear with your coffee. With your BM coffee. That's right. It comes wrapped in a underwear. Yeah. It comes wrapped in a underwear. There's a fresh pair you're going to need.

it after you drink B.M. coffee. Carbonated underwear. That's right. So, congratulations. Going to Brigh Guy. Brian, you won for Brian Beltmore in Wittensville, Massachusetts. He's going to get those prizes. But don't worry, Tim, and again, Belgium, you're going home with some prizes, too. You're going home with a copy of XCOM UFO Defense. Oh, that's a good one. And then Brian in Massachusetts, you're going home with XCOM Terror from the Deep. And Call of Cthulhu, which is an first person lovecraftian RPG game both winners today but our winner winner definitely walking away with some winners there those are both great calla cathoodle in particular is very very good yeah yeah and we covered the other two on uh play rector show we sure did did you did you do a whole excom episode yeah both of the UFO end but yep double one too yeah they're real good um also uh just a note if you paid so if you had an old switch and at one point UFO or uh XCOM whatever the new one is to xcom to the enemy within or whatever it is If you bought that then and went, oh, the performance on this is kind of lousy, because it was.

I have great news. Just load that up on your Switch 2, if you have a Switch 2, and it runs like butter smooth now. All you had to do is wait like five years and a whole new console and spend $400,500 on it. And then you could play it well. So, good job. Finally. I will tell you both. So my, you know, I got that thing from Nintendo saying, hey, your time in the Q came up.

It's now your chance to buy a Nintendo Switch 2. I came so close and I'm like, you know what? No, I just got the, just got this PlayStation portable. I'm knee-deep in finally finishing up midnight suns. I can wait. I will wait until I've got time to place stuff on the switch, too. So I think that was the right move. Like in the cart hovering over the Paynell button and not changed my mind.

I think as someone who just grabbed one, I can tell you, I think you made the right decision. it doesn't mean that the thing is bad. It's just that it's early and switch to only stuff, stuff optimized for that device. There's not very much right now. And they're going to have plenty of stock this fall. I just don't think you have to rush on this thing. Yeah, that was the big thing.

It's like, you know, I'd love to play that Mario Kart game, but for me it's not a, it's not the killer game of like the must, like, oh my God, I need to play. I'm such a big Mario Kart fan. play it. No, I like Mario Kart and I'll play it if it's in front of me. But when they come out with a Zelda or a Fire Emblem 5 or 6 or whatever they're on made specifically for the Switch 2, that's probably going to be my thing. Or an actual Mario, you know.

Like a mainline Mario game? Yeah. A mainline Mario game, yeah. This is how stupid or weird I am. The number one thing I played since getting this thing is Mario Odyssey. I saw your YouTube video. Are you real or something about like, I've beat it again. I beat it again. I played that game all the way through again. And man, that is an all-timer. It is such a great game. It's so good. And it runs so good on that device. That's cool. Anyway. Oh, yeah. Maybe a new, I could see a new animal crossing maybe being the thing that pulls me in. Oh, man. I have so many, I have such a request list for what that game needs to have for me to get excited. Because I can't do just, it cannot be just the same again. Right. Exactly. Don't just say, oh, here's a brand new island.

And here's another Tom Nook asking you for money or for bells or whatever. They've got to up their game on that. I don't know what it is. I don't know what I'm even asking for, but I know it has to be done. Right, exactly. It's got to be innovative. You can't just repeat 2020 on me. And I don't want a first person Animal Crossing game.

Thank you very much. Don't go that just because we've got the hardware now. Let's go first person. No, they just refine your mechanics, get real deep with it. You could do some stuff. Yeah. All right. Well, well, well, well done.

Brian Donnaway. Look, you'll later today, you and I getting together talking about there's this place called Atlantis. People think it's not a real place, but Indiana Jones knows better, right? He knows. Yeah, and we've got to find out what their fate was. Who knows what their fate is?

The fate of Atlantis is really, that's key to what we're going to do. So for Play Retro today, me and Brian Dunaway getting together about the Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis, which is an old point-and-click adventure game that is, honestly, still kind of fantastic. I played a bunch this week. It's real good. It's great.

I've heard from so many people this past, week as being their favorite game and i almost went to see uh the last crusade which is a theater uh currently oh really yeah right of the road it's fun to see back in theaters yeah what's uh that about they do in the whole anniversary i say trilogy i guess there's five yeah um but yeah that's interesting there's only four in my book yeah there's really in some ways there's only three yeah actually you know what there is only three one two and three F the skull one and F this new one you haven't seen you haven't even seen the new one i'm scared to see it brian i'm scared i think you'd like it you know what they um phoebe waller bridge is she elevates it so much and and and it makes me

kind of want a little bit of a spin off or something a little bit of a yeah i do like her so yeah i think you'll like this and the the the de-aging harrison for de-aging is really not not bad in it it's surprisingly um it's surprisingly good i mean i'll still put one two and three ahead of it, uh, quality wise, but, um, but I still think it's, you know, it's so far head, head and shoulders above number four that, uh, oh, head and shoulders, head and shoulders. I'll probably go. So my guess is at the end. It'll be, my list will be one, three, two, uh, five. And then four will be way, way, way, like way off. Yeah. I'll barely be able to see it. It'll be like clipping in the distance. It'll be, number four will be way off

in the distance in a refrigerator that's bouncing on the ground that you can walk away from yeah yeah piece of shit movie hated it i i think that's the the agreed upon order one three two five yeah that's that's that's that's yeah long long pause uh let that time tick away between four and five but we're going to uh do this awesome game later today so get your lucas arts on we're going to have some fun scum engine right i if i have that correct that's that's one way to do it yes it is one way to play it anyway that's me done away play retro today at frogpans dot tv live at four p m Mountain Time, be there. And if you're a patron of that show, you can stick around and watch some watch along of some 80s bad cartoon. We haven't, we haven't decided what yet. We don't

know if we'll do more Silver Hawks or something else. I don't know. I don't know what we're doing. Talley Hawk. Tally Hawk, everybody. Tally Hawk. Brian Dunnoy. I would like you to kiss our butts. Wow. Wow. He really did it. He really did kiss our butts. Like I heard the kissing of the butt. Damn, dude. All right. Well, let's take a break. When we come back from this break, we will have Bobby here. We're talking science. Yes, that's right. Science with Bobby. And if you didn't think that was enough, well, we got to mash up later. It's a classic as well as some other stuff. So stick around after Brian plays the song.

Yeah, let's get to some rock. This is a band called Disciples of Verity. And maybe you haven't heard of the band, but you've certainly heard of the lead singer. He's a guy named Corey Glover, and you know him as the lead singer of the band Living Color. cult of personality and all that um they've got a brand new single it's called break the cycle we're going to hear it right now it's a preview from their sophomore album nexus which comes out later this year uh here are disciples of verity and break the cycle Don't try to find it what lies behind the mask I won't deny it

there nothing there that's freeing it won't help you see beyond the life I'm trying to save you From a heart It's got to be through Rainfalls But I'll protect you now And I'll never ever let you down It's like a poison

It tears you up inside The doubt consumes you There's nothing there that's freeing It won't help you see beyond the lies Pain I'm trying to save you From a heart is that I've been through Rainfalls

But I protect you now And I know what I'm alerting you drown I'm breaking the change There's only one way now So let me go Just turn away Hey, I'm trying to save you.

Hey, I'm trying to save you from all of the hearty that I've been through. Rainfalls, but I protect you. date you now and I'll never have a lady you cry date for the prom. Date for the prom.

Well, hello, hello. Yes indeed we do. Hey, listen, you can pretend you a 747, but that's 747, but that bird still ain't going to fly. And we're back. Who is that again? Sure, that is the band Disciples of Verity and their brand new song. Break the cycle from their upcoming album Nexus.

Look for it later this year. What's Verity? Verity. Verity is truth. Truth. Disciples of truth. I like that. Disciples of truth. How do they examine? exist in the year 2025 how does that even work not a lot of truth out there right now you know no there really isn't a lot of falsity that's not even a word that's how false it is it's it's falseity yeah yes

disciples the falsity nice uh hey y'all let's get Bobby in it yeah um give me a moment here uh we're gonna go ahead and do it this way here we go okay we're gonna we're gonna get them in here we're gonna give him a chance to to be who Bobby is when he's the best of being Bobby, which is very scientific, you know, just really knows his shit. Science. Bob is hungry, and the soup looks

good. It sure does. Bobby Frankenberger joining us from, oh my gosh, for a hot second, I thought you shaved your head. No, I just got a shower. Oh, my gosh, dude. Sorry, that really freaked me out, like Bobby cutting his hair. That would have really been a moment of I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

The only time I've ever seen you with short hair is that video you showed me from high school when you guys did your little film. Do you remember that? Remember that whole thing? Yeah, I keep meaning this to send you all of that because I thought it would be fun for you to do in a like some kind of... Watch the whole thing. Yeah.

Yeah, watch a long kind of thing. Yeah, I love it. Do I sound all right, by the way? Yeah, you sound great. All right, good. I just changed. I got a new mixer and I was hoping I set it up right now

I think you did I didn't even notice a big difference and also your office you rearranged the place you're in a different position I believe yeah I have I just changed the way the desks were facing so there's a lot of other things

you can see like the 3D printer back there show off your your AMS and your 3D printer okay great what are you making over there you got anything cool in the works or is it just sitting there to idle not right now i'm i'm i'm probably next thing i'll probably print is uh is some some storage for those uh film and spools you back there yeah oh cool i know half of which you print for your 3d printer is stuff for your 3d printer

so far that's exactly right i i have heard that from multiple people before that that's so much of what you use of right i saw like uh i saw like a thing that someone made on reddit somewhere or something like that that was like uh how you level up as a 3d printer and and like level one would be you know getting yourself a 3d printer level two or like level one was like uh browsing amazon for yeah 3d printers you know and level two is getting all this kind of stuff and one of the levels in there was um was uh spending you know spending uh a bunch of time I'm printing upgrades to your 3D printer. Yeah, that's great.

There's some science already we're getting from you. Well, Bobby, it's good to have you here, man. Change of perspective and change of mixer, notwithstanding. There's some science in the world that we have to talk about. You do a science podcast, so you're always thinking of this stuff. But what did you bring us today? Yeah, I have a couple of things, little things. I was, I spent the more, I did the thing that you don't, that I usually

tell myself not to do as a podcaster, which is the morning before I'm going to do something, you know, change all of my tech. So it took a bunch of time. And then the kids wanted to go to the pool. So I took them to the neighborhood pool for an hour or something before. So, but I do have some things back from, from news from last week and, and also, you know, just some things that were happening. We, RFK Jr. is changing everything about vaccines. You heard things about that.

I have a little bit. jeez um i always when i hear stuff oh i found out something yesterday and then i did a deep dive on it because i didn't know what it was um he apparently is a big believer in the now outdated considered to be ancient sort of folklore medical idea of miasma versus germ theory and i'd never heard of not heard that but i am not surprised yeah i hadn't heard of what i'd never heard of this measma thing so i went you know instead of just going uh you freaking witch doctor bullshit i just i said well let me go look at what it is and it's basically the vapors. It's basically that

it is. It's not basically. It is the vapors. Yeah, it's the miasma theory. It was before we figured out how germ. It was the theory before germ theory basically. Yeah, the one that's now been debunked and replaced with germ theory, which has you know, it's not like we made it up and went

there's a new thing. Sorry, miasma fans. I didn't work that way. We actually discovered ourselves out of it. And now it's, to go back to that is like saying, literally it's this. It's the breath of frogs from downwind at the swamp have come up to us the corrupt frog breath and that's one example of it but there's i went ahead one one of the sources of what they would call bad air quote

unquote and um i mean that's why you saw the the you know old images of plague doctors with those um bird beak looking masks and everything that was because of the the the leading theory was measm theory and so they thought oh well we just put those things on our noses and put good-smelling stuff in there to block the bad air, and then we won't get sick. Yeah. Yeah. So it turns out some of that stuff gave false positives, though, right? Because you kind of were wearing a mask.

And the masks did mitigate some germ transmission, which then reinforced the idea, well, these must work. So the measma thing must be correct. Oh, geez. Like, there's a whole thing about all that in there as well. But I went down deep into this hole. And by the time I got to the bottom of it, I didn't come out going, oh, okay, I could kind of see why some. Some people might. No, I came out going, of course we've put that behind us. Yeah, right, exactly. It's the dumbest thing.

There's zero reason for anybody to believe this shite. It's so bad. I'm glad you brought it up. It's a good example of why science and the scientific method is so important because it's, like you said, it's, it kind of on its, on the surface makes sense. There's people noticed that when you're in the same room with someone who's, who has certain sicknesses like airborne illnesses, you know, the cold, flu, other things, people would notice when you're in the same room with them, you might get sick.

If one person in a household gets sick, it's more likely that the other people that live near them are going to get sick than other people who live further away from them or not in the same house, you know? So it makes sense that you might assume there's something in the air. And guess what?

There was something in the air. So it all makes sense, but you can't just, say ah that makes sense and then go straight to that being the truth right um scientific method is set up in order to to fix or or compensate for our tendency to do that our tendency to say that makes sense and then stop there the scientific method says well let's try to prove ourselves wrong and see if we can prove ourselves wrong if we can't prove our if we keep trying and we can't prove ourselves wrong, then that strengthens this idea that we have.

Right. And so this was all, miasma theory was all pre-scientific method formalization. So, you know, there were people who were practicing the scientific method without realizing that that's what it was. They were just doing their thing. They were doing what they thought made sense to further knowledge. But then it became formalized in the fly. philosophy and philosophy of science is what it became and now you have the scientific method and that's how everything works and that's why you have to do those things and you can't just see something that makes sense on TikTok and then think oh okay that must be how it works yeah you know yeah I've got this great sketch done let me see if I can show this to everybody yeah I can't this is a sketch in 1831 of what they pictured was going on so you got a war going on but then you got some like

dysentery or their problems during this war and the theory was well yeah that's because there's a big invisible horrible reaper creature yeah white reaper stomping around you know shitting on everybody or whatever like he's less grim than the black clothed grim reaper yeah

a little more upbeat upbeat reaper yeah the elenable lober version of the black one pestilence is one of the the four horsemen right yeah oh right yeah that is very pestilence looking that's a good point now i just found a this is late breaking news here we have this is rfk junior uh just doing stuff well that's how you get rid of brain worms yeah that's how you do it um

yeah so anyway decide you know take all the politics out of it it is very concerning i think that you have a you know the top uh health official i've stopped taking the politics out of it scott well you can't help it have it in it i don't mean that but the fact that we've got such a dip shit in charge of public health, in particular the FDA and all the stuff he's in charge of, is just such horseshit. So what is actually... So here's the larger question, though.

I don't know what is actually happening with the vaccine mandates, with the exception of the age, they've raised age limits or something. So maybe you can clear that up. Like, what actually changed? It's not that they raised age limits. It's, I mean, I guess in effect, they kind of did. But basically, RFK Jr. said, okay, we're no longer going to be recommending the COVID-19 vaccines

for healthy children and pregnant people. Right, right. And so what that does is that changes the recommendations, and those recommendations are what insurance companies look at. That's what the doctors look at. it's also how those recommendations affect everything downstream because now if insurance companies

are going to pay for it, that means the drug companies aren't going to produce as much because not as many people are going to be getting them. So pharmacies aren't going to get as many of them. It doesn't mean you can't have them. It just means that the recommendations are changed and the biggest impact is the impact

on how the easy places like your neighborhood pharmacy is going to hand out vaccines and how insurance companies are going to pay for them or not. Yeah, exactly. I was talking to my doctor who said, because she's very pro vaccination and really big on the science behind it. Yeah. And it's very studied on it and all of that.

And I said, so these recommendations come through, what does that mean for you? And she says, very little, I'm going to still, I'm going to tell people to get vaccinated. I'm going to have to be a little more strategic about where they go and how they get it and how to make sure it doesn't ding them in some ridiculous way on their insurance and cause other like fallout effects in their insurance plan. But she says, other than that, though, I mean, these recommendations are stupid. Yeah, and fortunately, we have providers out there who are doing that kind of thing. But again, your neighborhood pharmacy, which they can administer vaccines as well,

they it's a little bit harder for them because because it's most of the people that are coming in they're they're they're advertising like come in and get your COVID-19 vaccine for 30 bucks and they're not that's not how much they're selling it to you for that's how much they're assuming that it will be after insurance so they can't say those things if insurance is going to stop paying for it and so it just gets if you're there so the children and healthy children and pregnant people should absolutely be getting vaccines whatever uh that the big the big thing is to me is not that change that is a big deal i'm not saying that's not a big deal but i think the bigger thing that worries me about this whole thing is how that came about it wasn't so the typical

process for this whole thing is you have you have a panel called the the acip or the advisory committee on immunization practices it's a it's a it's a committee that is that is part of the cdc Um, it's got, uh, people that are appointed by the administration. And what their job is is 17 individuals and their job is to look at the data, look at the research and make recommend, these recommendations. Um, first thing that happened was, so there was a whole timeline, a whole series of things that happened. And the, one of the first things that happened was, RFK Jr. decided, I'm just going to change the recommendations. I'm not going to go through the ACIP on this. Um, so that's a problem, right? by itself. Sure. Just the willingness. Bypassing the checks and balances. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Because that committee is very important. It's a panel of 17 experts supposed to be. And the willingness to just bypass that is very troubling. Because it's RFK Jr. saying, I know it's best. And I'm just going to do what I think is best. And not only is that troubling for anybody to do, But especially a vaccine skeptic, that's a very generous way of describing him. Yeah.

A person who basically doesn't believe that vaccines are safe and someone who has very, he's a conspiracy theorist, especially a medical conspiracy theorist. And so it's dangerous for someone like that to be doing that. So that's the first thing that happened. Then there was a back and forth argument with some people on the ACIP that that committee and then one of the leaders

of the committee one there's a couple leaders and one of them quit said I'm done I'm I'm out of here yeah don't blame and then I that was a that was in the news and she was she basically was saying

the the current climate the current way things are going makes it impossible for me to do the job that I'm here to do so I'm done I can't do this anymore then it caused a lot of... Hard to blame him, by the way, hard to blame her. I get the FAP.

Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm not here to judge anybody. You know, some people might argue, I feel the same way. Like, it's hard to blame someone for just saying, like, I can't do what I want to... Like, I'm here as a public health expert. I'm trying to benefit the public good here. And I can't do that. Right. Hands are tied.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. But, you know, some people might argue that you need to be there in order to try to push back against this kind of stuff. But ultimately it ended up not mattering because a week later, I think less than a week later, RFK Jr. got rid of all 17 committee members. He just he just outsted the whole thing. Outsted him and appointed his own people, right? That was a deal? Yeah, he's in the process of appointing his own people. I don't, I haven't checked the news on that lately. As a Friday, I think it was, he had appointed eight new members of the 17, so about half of

them and the the list is not great um there are a couple of names on there that were people that were that had close relationships with with rfk junior and and other known people who were known to spread misinformation uh some people who got one of them was fired from harvard and claims that it was because they they were against all the vaccine mandates back in covid here's another person who's a known person who spread misinformation during the pandemic about vaccines

and and MRI technology, all this kind of stuff, right? It's a bunch of people like that. But yeah, he just said, we're just going to get rid of the whole panel and appoint people that we like, which, yes, the administration is able to,

you know, does appoint people. the whole all 17 all the current 17 members were people that were appointed by Biden that's true but it's just it's just another one of those things that we see happening with in government now which is you've got a new person who comes in and just spends all their time erasing everything that the last administration did and it just starts to erode trust and yeah the long-term impact of that is sizable but not even just in this one way like in any of these and it's not it's worse than ever and it's also it's a cycle that doesn't end because once you start doing that like there was a lot of crossover between the clinton to

bush bush bush to obama transitions lots of people stayed lots of it wasn't clear clean house every time like lots of carryover and i think that's healthy like christopher ray carried over from the fbi he was pretty good until we get this weird oh now um like there was some good stuff like that happening and that's i think that's healthy especially for a relatively divided two-party system even back when things are a little less divided now if you do this cleaning house thing every time just as a political statement of we're wiping away the last administration they sucked so now it's our ideas now what you've set up is a never-ending cycle of everybody doing that every time they get in no matter where they're from or who they're with exactly and then you never have anybody in there

longer than four years, eight if you're lucky, and that erodes expertise. It erodes trust, like you said. It arose all these things. Yeah. It's some big, it's a big old hairy bullshit is what that is. I freaking hate that. Anyway. Yeah, it's, it's not great. Maybe Cheryl, you know what, Cheryl Hines? Could you just slip a little something in his breakfast in the morning to give him the shits or something? Like, I don't know. bum, bum, do it's, and it's, it's all just, um, RFK Jr's just turning out to be everyone, not everyone. Everyone knew that he was a bad choice, right? And I say not everyone, because obviously not everyone, but, but, uh, well, he's a spite choice.

The ones that chose him, it's a spite choice. They didn't choose him for his expertise. They chose him because he's a, he's a guy who hopped the aisle without any, hesitation the minute he was offered a position and they knew it would just piss off the other side that's the appointment that's it there's no other reason to bring him in

there's no expertise there's no like well he really had some might no he doesn't he doesn't have anything oh here I go see I'm going down the path this is the path I'm on it pull me back hold me back the the first time his name was mentioned during

you know during the campaign election camp all of this stuff a lot of physicians and doctors and and experts in medicine were all sounded the alarms and said these are the things that could happen and it's like we're going down the list ever it's constant it's happening um and so it's i'm i'm definitely worried that it's going to get worse a lot worse before it gets better i mean he's talking about creating a government run um science a journal that all of the federal people like the FDA and the CDC and everything have to have to submit their

because they do things all the time they'll do science and submit papers to you know reputable science journals like nature and and you know New England Journal of Medicine and all these kinds of things right because that's where science is done but

but they're they he's got a problem with that and is calling all these journals biased and and said let's we're just going to make a government journal that is free of bias and and you know that's the definition of bias

the one place controls the information also I was told these people were against big government an expansion of government and government telling us how to do shit whatever you bunch of buttholes you dicks sorry go ahead that's um but yeah it you're right it's it is bias um it's more troubling than that is it's um it means

the government's going to be in charge of of what's what's what's true and what's not you know quote unquote true and what's not because they get to it the the whole the editorial board of a journal is decides what gets published and what doesn't right yeah and so if you if they're not allowed to publish somewhere else and they have to publish in these government journals then then you're only

you're going to write the things that they're going that they're going to be willing to publish sure there's all sorts of things we could talk all day

about that but I've been getting it trying to get it off my chest writing about it on like Patreon post and everything but then I accidentally

let it all leak right here spilled the beans that's all right they'll clean up that popcorn in the lobby. It's frustrating. It's frustrating. Oh, it's super frustrating. The whole thing freaking sucks. Like I, you know, I was hanging out with the little's all weekend and every once in a while thought to come my head and I go, I don't want the real care in the hands of this wackado. This Muppet, this freaking weirdo, wormhead weirdo? Like, come on now. Seriously,

Cheryl Hines, if you're listening. All right? Just, you can do something. I'm just, I'm not saying killed a guy. Please, no, no, no. No, just sicken him. Just slow him down a little bit. Yeah. I mean, I know he already, a guy, oh, go ahead. Go ahead. Okay, I'll say this real quick. I'll take in charge. Back to the miasma thing for real quick. The guy swims in polluted water on purpose.

Oh, yeah. But he believes in the miasma theory. Isn't he swimming in miasma in his, you know, his definition of it? Kind of, yeah. I don't understand that. Like, okay. I try not to, try not to get inside the head of people. Well, you can't.

worm block in your way getting in there exactly there's no there's plenty of room in there if there just wasn't a worm yeah the worms hang out the front a dead a dead worm a dead worm block in the front door anyway speaking of brains i do have a bright bit of news um okay that i that i talked about on uh my daily science brief uh podcast that i've been doing yeah science news every day about um some ai that was used for good that uh made it so that a man with als was able to speak again, virtually instantaneously using AI. They had

he has ALS, he can't speak. And what they did was they put stuck 256 electrodes into the part of his brain that controls facial muscles. So this is an interesting and kind of innovative approach to this, right? Instead of trying to just think of words

and trying to get a computer to read your thoughts, which there have been plenty of brain computer interfaces that have been trying to do that and they they operate on like a couple second delay which is hard to hold a conversation with a couple second delay right yeah it can be I mean it's still kind of a great leap but it's not it's still great it's fantastic yeah absolutely yeah just a couple of second delay we do it all the time with lag yeah yeah if we've got bad

lag on one of our things you know we can get away with it but it's not not easy not easy in a conversation but it's hard to interject and interrupt and all that kind of stuff and have a flowing conversation face to face, right? And so these scientists at UC Davis, they took a different approach and said, let's instead read the part of the brain that controls facial muscles and get this person instead of thinking of the words,

like think about saying the words. Like try to say the words, even though you can't, try to say the words. And they were hoping that what that would do was to activate the part of the brain that would try to get. Importantly, this was a person who could, who used to be able to talk. So, those

connections, that part of the brain that controls the facial muscles to make the mouth movements for speech are still intact. It still works. It's just, it's not that it's intact. It's just those parts of the brain did develop. So and then they were

reading that part of the brain while he was trying quote unquote to say the words and it recorded the brain activity. It was reading phrases that they had pre-written. And then they trained AI with that information and then live plugged them in to this AI that was trained on that data and it was able to talk with a 25 millisecond delay only. The way they describe this, there's a quote from Stravinsky, the lead scientist on this, says, quote, with instantaneous voice synthesis, the neuroprosthesis users will be able to use

Sorry, be able to be more included in the conversations. For example, they can interrupt and people are less likely to interrupt them. So suddenly they have the power to say, no, no, that's not what I meant or what, you know, however we do it in real time with people that we just talk to and we take this for granted. He can, he can do that. He can say, I need some milk and they're like, okay, I'll go get you some water. No, I said milk. Like interrupt or whatever.

It is a bad example. But I think that's, that says it all right there. That's a conversation. That's human interaction. And they trained the AI voice with his. recordings of his own voice from back when he could talk so it sounded like him

which is important for having your own audio feedback and feeling like you're part of it and like you're actually doing something they got him to sing he was able to sing wow damn and he was even able to make

like non pre-written and just like verbal noises like you and hmm and stuff like that all kinds of stuff That's pretty awesome. Yeah, I've got a distant, well, wife's cousin has ALS. And it would be really nice if you had some of this stuff, you know.

Yeah, yeah. Hopefully they're able to get it out and to be able to help more than just this one person. You know, that's the hope, of course, is that it'll be able to help anybody with ALS when they get to that point. I reached out to Dr. Tolbert, asked him if this was also considered an ostensible. We've been talking about artificial holes we make. And he replied that it's... Yeah, he says technically yes, but we call it a cranioostomy. Because you put in your cranium there, say.

Right. And it stays put. Yeah. There's a little bit of science for you there, Bobby. You're welcome. That in your science hole. Yeah, put that in your science hole. I can give it and take it.

You sure can. Right? Yeah. You sure can. Well, this is interesting stuff. This and so much more can be found on that daily show as well as your weekly show. why don't you tell folks where they can find all of it? Yeah, so right now, of course, I'm pushing really hard daily science brief, 10-minute show every day.

Well, three days a week right now, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and we'll be working up to five days a week. And it's just four quick science news items in under 10 minutes and get your day started with knowing what's going on in science. And yeah, and then also all around science, of course, that I've been doing every week with my co-host, Mora. We just did an episode and Brian, I want you to listen to it. Oh, really? Okay. Because I know that you... It's an episode I've been wanting to do for a long time and I've actually

wanted to, I've avoided talking about it on this show because I'm really I'm really worried. I don't like people sound or thinking that I'm telling them that they're doing things that they shouldn't be doing. But it's a, it's a show about Chiroprone. I know that you see you see a chiropractic occasion I don't actually no oh you don't I thought you did no no I went I went once and then I read up and I'm like this is so debunked like Tina still goes so I'll play the episode for her but no I just found out this last weekend about lactose intolerance being bunk as well and we'll have to talk about that on a future a future thing it is bunk oh yeah it's bunk yeah what happens happens, and I'll do the brief thing, that dairies that produce, and somebody may correct me or fill in the blanks on this, but as I understand it, as it was explained to me this last weekend at Morning Fresh Dairy, dairies that use a high-temperature flash pasteurization process,

like hit the milk with 250 degrees for like a second, and what that does is it kills viruses and bacteria and bad things in the milk, but it also kills lactate, which is what you need to be able to digest lactose. So if you're not getting lactate, then you're not able to digest lactose and you have your problems. You need the tate and the toast.

You need the tate, exactly. You need the tate to digest the tote. Got it. Got it. But if you drink, I mean, I wouldn't recommend raw straight out of the other milk, but if you drink milk that's, that's heated at a lower temperature to kill the viruses and the bacteria, it takes a little

bit longer, which is why high manufacturing dairies don't do it, then it keeps the lactate in there, which helps you digest the lactose. Now, is it true? I mean, let's, let's, you know, the information came from a dairy that's pushing their milk, obviously, so take it in the context that it comes from. But I want to do some more research on this and find out how much of this is, is, is, is, is true you could also try some stuff their stuff and see if you get all farty yeah which i did and i didn't get all farty like i we sampled a bunch of their different milks uh there at the

at the place yeah and i did not get all farty and you know we're in a car for a good two hours after that together yeah she would hate that it's like a smoked her out so any other like any you go to like store-bought brands or whatever you do get farty right it's not that this is a perfect science but you know i get farty like if i get a a latte and i don't go with oat milk, then I get all farty. But I did not get all farty with the dairy at, you know, with the... That's fascinating. I didn't, I've never heard that before, so I want to look into it, too.

Maybe we'll reconvene sometime in the future. Definitely need to see how much of it is real and how much of it is like, well, we just really want people to buy our milk. So we're going to tell them about this. You know, likely my prediction is that it's likely somewhere in the middle, right? There always is. Yeah. There's always some happy place in the middle. Let's find it together.

Bobby, it's a fantastic having you on, man. I hope you have a great week, and may all the psychos in charge be gone. We'll see you soon. Bye. Okay. Brian, we're here. Yes. We did it.

Yes, we done do it. Look at this chat. This is the picture I sent Holbert, but that's what you'd have to have put in your head. That's a cranialoscopy. Wild. Ostominy. There you go. And then he's, that's that guy looking at the thing.

Does it worry me that the company is BlackRock? Wait a minute. Wasn't there a video game? Oh, no, never mind. It's Black, uh, Black Mesa. Never mind. Okay. Oh, yeah, Black Mesa.

We're okay. Are those USB 1.0 slots on that? What is that? I don't know if I trust whatever that is. Those are switches it looks like because one's in the up position, the other ones in the down position, but the other connection might be USBC. Yeah, it probably is. Carry a lot of data.

Yeah. That's cool. All right. Um, well done. Thank you, Bobby. Real quick. Uh, we got a phone call about MASH. and Loretta Switz passing.

Oh, yeah. All that stuff. Let's check it out what he else to say. You guys were talking. Oh, by the way, it's AI because he chose to be, not because I did it. Oh, he said, man, he sounds great. Yeah, these are people doing this on purpose. This is not me doing it.

So just so you know. And it's their choice and you have that same choice when you call in as well. Exactly. Well, it's a writing in. But if you want your thing written in to be converted to AI voice, so you have a voice on the show, have no problem doing it. Just know where it's coming from. It isn't me.

Here you go. Have fun. You guys were talking about the passing of Loretta Swiss. and it reminded me of when Wayne Rogers passed. I live in a building he owned a unit in, and it was having an estate sale, so I meandered up to his unit, not knowing the sale had not started yet.

I'm walking out as they opened the doors in a crowd of what can only be described as rabid M-A-S-H. Fans rush past me looking for memorabilia, I suppose, only to find none. I, however, did purchase a pair of opera glasses that set proudly on myself to this day. Opera glasses from Wayne Rogers. That's wild.

That's cool. upper glasses. I love it. I also love how AI thinks MASH is M-A-S-H. A whole bunch of rabid M-A-S-H fans. We don't want the toddlers to know what we're talking about. Yeah, exactly. We can't say it out loud. Snorting the C-O-C-A-I-N-E. What are they going to do? Go watch the 11-season 1970s drama through 80s of called M-A-S-H. Next thing, you know, they're going to be spelling out ER. Exactly. But it seems like that would be a cool thing. I don't know what the opera glasses. How are those? I guess he just liked opera. Is that the deal? I don't know. I guess so. Yeah. I'd love a pair. I don't know why. I don't. The people in front of us at Ann Juliet last weekend had opera glasses and they were constantly like, you can't put on upper glasses and not do the voice. Why is that playing? Sorry, Brian. I wasn't trying to, Barry wanted another word apparently. Oh, really? Yeah. So when you do those, though, those are just, aren't they just binoculars but on a stick?

They're like, yeah, but then they're a lot smaller. They're like, you know, like you're holding them up with a little stick and they're like very tiny little glasses. Yeah, I've seen him, but I kind of want one because you know if you have that, you have to do this. Oh, look, I can see, oh, I can see Tibbles. Cod piece, it's lovely. I don't ever ever seen a pair up close. I don't know what those are like. Look at the main Swan Lake dancer.

That's awesome. Look at it is huge. Yeah, I mean, but they are basically little tiny binoculars. They're just tiny. When you're... Because you don't want somebody bringing in there. No. Yeah.

And if they're the little military ones, I just, but I feel weird seeing those there. Yeah. We take those to, we have little military ones. We take to concerts because we don't pay for expensive close up seats. We sit in the back in general admission. We can get to both the snack bar and the bathroom is real easy. Damn, straight. Oh, that reminds me.

I saw Bill Murray walking around. doing something on stage at Red Rocks? Red Rocks opened up for Big Head Todd and the Monsters. It was his band. I didn't know he had a band. That was surprised to me. Yeah. What is it?

What do they do? What kind of music is that? I don't know. It's the kind of, I assume, it's the same music like he did on that Christmas special he did a couple of years ago. But I drove a woman to Red Rocks and we talked the entire time about, she was more of a big head Todd and the monsters fan. So we talked more about Big Head Todd. but um but she said oh yeah bill murray's band uh blood brothers are are um are opening up um let's see here with mike zito from uh wait mike zito like zito tote uh sounds like a guy is going to break my knuckles

for not paying on time or something yeah i know i know the name mike zito um they perform a mix of classic rock covers with a focus on blues and soul okay and um and i i'm i would love to seen this. Why do I know Mike Zito? Somebody tell me, I'm looking at Mike Zito. Hey, you haven't paid the boss yet. Mike Zito's coming over to get your money. I want to see. He's a guitarist from Joe Jackson or something. Joe Jackson's band. Let's see here. Mike the finger, Zito. He's just a mobster in my head. I can't say that. He's just a mobster. Yeah. I mean, he's played with Cyril Neville, Devin Allman. He was a member of a band called the Royal Southern

Brotherhood. Okay. I guess I don't know why I thought. That name sounded much more familiar. Maybe there's another Zito. Yeah. Was that the almond brother that married share? That's the other almond. No, that's Dwayne Allman. Dwayne Alman.

Yeah. That's right. Well, check this out. We got a classic mashup from Jamie. That's right. Unnecessary censorship. I don't know if you remember these specials, but he used to do them all the time. I do, yes.

So here's an oldie bit of goody for you to enjoy at home. Have fun. Hey, Brian Dunaway. Suck a d'I. And we'll see you next time. Bye now. Suck a ruck a rower. He likes to suck

Wow, my gosh. I know. He'll admit it one day. He sucks. I think it was ducks, by the way. Just for the record. Find out why my is purple or whatever it is, you know. Hey, can I take that in the b-and?

I'm said, sure, I guess so. And I'm thinking, well, I'll just grab it with some fingers with the hand that's holding the... No big deal. You can hold the with two fingers and do the with the other three if you need to. Exactly. That's the theory. feels good in my My big takeaway from this is

I'm hungry for is that normal Completely enamored with it I'm a willing throat for Yeah Your throat is open and ready for And why? Because it fits something he's really into And the mrs.

It just throbbed all the time And I was like, why is this? I only for the past 12 hours What's going on? Yeah, how could this be With all that repetitive play? So you've got a lung slit And you've got to put the in the bottom

of the slit and then let the go to the top of the slit Right of the slit I mean that's what it is I guess it's a slot all over your face. Oh my gosh, you're spraying his whole face with this. If I put this in any place in any order, it's throat, then not vice versa. No, don't put it in throat.

Big black rubber. I'm just confused as to how the . . . . ended up in his mouth. The guy walks in with the most glorious I've ever seen. The crystal gale of . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . all I can say is none of your . . . . should come anywhere near your mouth. She also has one called This smells like my And then I thought Well, I haven't done that since then

I have not put mouth to In that amount of time Walks down the street with his cane And his huge And then this is your show His giant Make an argument for any positivity About getting a b0 in your throat

But even people who love Do you really want one in your mouth Which is annoying Because if you're gonna have a cool You better pull it out once in a while She also with too many teeth Like there was teeth involved in the There's just too much

mouth open and like not lips pressed. Like if you took a can and opened it and you put the can up around your... That's just what it felt like. That's a terrible description. It's going to haunt me. Seems illegal. We got some

guest appearances from our pals John and Boe there. That was fantastic. Yeah, a little core. I heard a little Bill in there as well. Yeah. Never not enough bill or something like that. Something like that. Yes. All right, you guys. We got stuff today happening.

Thank you, Jamie, for that, by the way. We got Monday show today at 1, play retro at 4. And I think that's the programming of Monday. All right, that's it. We got a Greg Street next week, but tomorrow's pretty normal Tuesday with us. Me and Brian, I don't know what else is going on tomorrow. But today is all that really matters. What's right in front of you is the Monday show at 1, play retro at 4.

And there's the daily music headlines, of course, out this morning that talks about Bono in his recent interview with Zane Lowe talks about Nisa and the she refused to do or Neza, I'm sorry, refused to do the national anthem at a at a game, a Detroit game.

No, I'm totally, I'm butchering this whole article, aren't I? This singer named Neza performed the U.S. National Anthem at a Dodgers game, even though she was told to sing in English. and uh oh what she'll out some fallout from that what she'd do it in spanish she did in spanish yeah oh and then and then called out uh uh ice raids and support for immigrants and and uh and the heart sisters want trump to stop using their sung barracuda yeah some more on daily music headlines they

should he should they should yeah that song's awesome he deserves what is it doesn't even it's got no meaning for him nothing for him exactly plus it's a bad It's about a dickhead in the music industry rather than a dickhead in the White House. I guess dickhead works generally, so maybe it's okay. Yeah, exactly. I don't like when he uses YMCA. He shouldn't be using that. It's a gay anthem.

What do they do? I know. How are the village people okay with this? And he's always doing this when he does it. Right. Which, you know, that looks a little like something's going on. Either brain floss or he's using a pair of, what were those shake weights? Yep. A couple of wieners in his hand.

A couple of shake weights, yeah. All right, we'll check that out. Daily, music headlines.com for details. That's going to do it for us. Let's get out of here. Frogpants.com slash TMS for all your needs. Brian, let's go with a song. What do you got? Well, we're not done with Jamie yet.

Jamie wrote in to say, good day, skibbitty and blorbo, according to chat, GPT. That's a brain rot word. I'll have to take its word on that. Holy momentous milestone Batman. And as of June 15th, 2025, I am officially divorced. It's been a long, arduous, tiresome two years. But I have also seen incredible growth, both as a father to my two amazing children, and as a partner in a very healthy relationship.

I ask the covermaster to find me a good cover of the song Dog Days Are Over, which describes my situation so perfectly. Barring that, I have no doubts. You'll find something equally suitable. As always, love the show immensely as well as your faces. And every one of the Tadpool's faces, you guys are my second family. Love, the newly divorced father of two, Jamie. P.S. Scott Playby, Red House commercial bet if you have it handy, I haven't heard that in forever.

I don't know if I have the whole, I'm sure I have the whole thing, but I may have a clip. Let's see. You have a clip of like, uh, Red House. The Red House. Rett and Link before they, uh, did their other thing. Here it is. I think. Is it downloaded?

Can't we all just get along, Richard, a.k.a. big head. A.K. People's like. Here we go. I'm black and I love the red house. I'm white and I love the red house. I'm a black woman and I love the red house. I am white and the red house is for me. At the red house.

There you go. A little piece. It's great. Excellent. Anyway, all right, let's get to this cover. He wanted to hear cover Florence on the machines. Dog Days are Over. Such a great song.

This cover came out in 2019 and it's by Den Sultan. from an album called aviary takes. Now, I don't know what aviaries have to do with dog days, but I feel like that's, you know, kind of a misappropriation of the term. Here's Dan Sulton and Dog Days are over. Hit her like a train on a track Coming towards her

Stuck still, no turning bed and hit under beds Killed her with kisses And from it she flake With every bubble She sank with a drink And washed it away Down the kitchen and sink

The dark days are over The dark days are done The horses are coming So you better run Run fast for your mother And fast for your father Run for your children Your sisters and your brothers

Leave all your loving And your longing behind You can't take it with you If you want to survive The dark days are over The dark days are done Can't you hear the wholesome? because here they come.

And I never and I never wanted. Anything from you Except everything you had What was left after that After that too Happiness It has

Like a bullet in the bed Struck from a great hind By somebody who shouldn't know better No better than that Ooh Now the dark days are over The dark days are dead Can you hear the horses

Because here they come Now the dark days are over The dark days are dead The horses are coming So you better run Run for your mother and fight for your father Run for your children

Your sisters and your brothers Leave all your loving And you're lonely behind You can't take it with you If you want to survive There are dark days are old Dark days are done Can't you hear the horses

Because here they come Hey, you. Hey, you. Yeah, you. Go to FrogPants.com. I'm amazed and I'm not phased. Sorry. Ferguson, Herman
