It's the morning stream for Thursday, July 3rd, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Nibbitt. Hi, Brian. Hello. We are inching our way ever further into July, right before the big Fourth of July holiday here in the U.S. Yeah, not a lot to celebrate this year. but, you know.

Although my neighbor should think there is, because last night at like 2 o'clock in the morning, fireworks. Seriously? On the third, the third, Ryan. Save them for the fourth, you dipshit. No, wasn't even the third. It was the third.

Well, technically be the third, but still, irritating. I was so annoyed. So annoyed. I just laying there going, all, first of all, we got some wind and a little bit of rain, which meant we could turn off the AC and open windows.

Love doing that. Save a little money. Save a little energy. and keep our air conditioner from, you know, constantly humming. So we get some nice airflow going. But when you do that, you obviously increase your sound access because of that. And I didn't even think about it that there would be a bunch of fireworks on the freaking second and third. Sure enough, pip pop, boom.

It's like, come on, man. Shouldn't even be, I mean, it's not legal where you're at, right? Like ground fireworks are okay and noise makers, but the stuff that goes up in the air because we live in a dry part of the country. Yeah. And our, in fact, in our HOA, technically, although people break the rule all the time, technically it's not allowed to do any, of any kind, according to the HOA rules. But in surrounding, you know, suburbs, they can do it. Sure. Sound makers. But these people were firing off full on like, boom, bam, boom. Really? Like the mortars. Yeah. Just scoffing in the face of rules. And scofflaws, what they call those guys. Scofflaws. Yes. I hate that. Because they scoff at laws. the most like old-ass term isn't it really is oh i such a rabble rousers yeah they're all they're all

cut from the same wood you know yes but anyway f those guys i was pissed i was irritated but i did eventually sleep and uh i don't know maybe i'm awake now maybe i'm tired i don't know what i am yeah yeah how are you feeling you all right the end of the week i'm all right uh slipped until 430 which for me is good um it's sad to say right like boy as a kid try and get me out of bed before nine the summertime 10 good luck but uh nope it's like all right i'm awake 4 30 pee get back to bed try and sleep nope all right let's watch some simpsons that's a good you know what i don't hate this at all i think this is great no no um speaking of reading i didn't say anything about reading but i'll say i actually could have read something why didn't i read something sure i think as well

i'll say speaking of things you can do when you're not sleeping one of them one of them is reading and i'm currently reading a book that i keep bringing up on the show but forgetting to say the title of apparently i thought i had been saying the title but uh gens wrote in and said i have not so here's what gens says hey scott and brian i'm listening to episode 2843 scott mentioned a book he was reading about a norwegian werewolf but didn't mention the name it sounded like a good book and i'd like to read it what's the title please thanks the gens or gens i guess there's no the gens yeah this isn't the gen it's a different different genes did we see the gen in Vegas. Did we see her?

I saw her. She was there. Did we see her at karaoke? I can't remember. It just suddenly hit me that I don't think I got much time with her. No, I didn't get any time with her at all. It was really just like seeing her across the room kind of thing. That sucks. Didn't get any time to hang out with her. That sucks. I like her. I like seeing her. I like caring about her teaching, her high school job that she's got. Yeah. The kids are going to be okay.

because of the gen. The kids are all right because of the gen. Mrs. The Jen, can I go to the bathroom, they'll say in the class? It's just say, take the hall pass, buddy. I don't know how it works in there. I don't know what they do. I don't know either. Yeah, don't even if they allow it anymore.

I think I just realized why I never say the title. I always get sidetracked. Yeah, because you get distracted and you veer away from the... I think you're right. I think I've actually done that multiple times now. First rule of Norwegian Werewolf Book. Never say the title of Norwegian Werewolf Book. And I should say, even though, so this character who is the Norwegian werewolf, she's not the main character.

She's just one of them. They're kind of a rag-tag D&D group in a weird way, these characters. They all kind of have equal billing, but she's pretty prominent because she's Norwegian werewolves in the lore they're telling in this book are massive and horrible and everybody's going to die. If you do any, like the journey, they mention German werewolves, no big deal. They don't hurt you. They're just like lame, smelly, whatever. No offense to Germans, but it's a werewolf thing. But the Norwegian ones are big and terrible.

Just a terrible, terrible, terrible, terrifying thing. Anyway, that book is called The Devils. There it is. The Devils. It's the name, basically, of the group that is this rag tag of, you know, there's a werewolf, there's a vampire, a very ancient one. There is a necromancer, a thief, an elf, and a priest. And a bard.

I mean, it really is. If it does feel like a D&D group, they all have kind of their own things. There's basically a tanky, you know, warrior type who can't die. That's his power or his ability. Or his curse. He hates it.

He'd like to die. He just can't die. Anyway, it's really good. The Devils by Joe Ambacrombie. If you've not heard of him before, he did the first law series, which was one of my favorite series of all time. Still is.

That one starts with the blade itself. If you ever get around to that, I would highly recommend that. as well but this is his new series he's starting it's the first book it just came out and it is freaking fantastic so far i'm probably a third left or so it's a pretty big book and i'm just reading it every night when i get a chance and loving every freaking second of it i just love his writing and it's out i don't know how he does this i think i mentioned this before the writing super grim dark like grim dark fantasy but the he's

has he injects humor in the most appropriate ways it doesn't feel forced it doesn't feel like it's some of it's laugh out loud funny and then in a different author's hands i don't think it would be as successful he's just got away he's british which helps probably a lot of dry humor in him yeah um but he just makes this grim dark fantasy tale so much more fun because you know it's actually funny the interaction between these characters is great it's really really good so the devils available now on your book platform of choice including audiobook i don't know who reads it i'm not doing that i'm doing the reading but you're doing the readie the ready version yeah i swat did i tell you i sold my kindle for a cobo you get a little little cobo yeah yeah i like it it's roughly the same

size a little thinner i don't have it down here uh but it's i like it because it's a more open platform it doesn't have weird well one of the problems i have with the kendals the interface is just kind of lousy and has been for a long time. And I'm not really improving it. It's slow. Even on the newer models, just kind of performance sucks. And there is a way to take your old Moby formatted Kindle books and convert them, which is what I did or am doing for older ones. For new stuff, though, I can use EPUB and a hundred other formats. It doesn't have to be strictly whatever the DRM stuff on Amazon is. Right, whatever they're fixed. Yeah. And I also like that I got the cobo on Amazon.

Oh, that's funny. Take that, jerks. It's good, though. Really been happy with it. And it doesn't have ads on it and all the other shit. It's just a nice upgrade. So, big recommendation there. We got a call from Friendly Fleet.

Friendly Fleet, okay, all right? That's what Picard's always looking for when he's out there. That's right. A friendly fleet, you know? And no further. No. You play Domjot. Draw the line here.

All right, here is your call. This is from him. it is about pronouncing things. So here you go. Good morning. This is Friendly's Lee listening to Tuesday's episode as someone who lives by the St. Croix River on the border of Minnesota, Wisconsin. I can definitely

say it is Troy. So there you go. I'm sorry for the background noise of them at the airport, but of course, love the show. So Croy, LaCroix, the drink. We were talking about. Well, St. Croix River, yes. But somebody jokingly, I think, was pronouncing lecois at a barbecue i went to i think that must be where it's coming from i think it was

that that day that yeah i'm pretty sure it's croy right yeah it's got to be croy i'm not gonna go you know what i could test it i could go in the store and say you guys got any lacraa and see what they yeah well that won't tell you how or la qua um uh french in french it's it's it's qua it is qua it is qua in french and it is we're not french here no no we are definitely not that i don't I could never cop to that. Are you kidding me? All right, let's see. Can we find our...

I know we've got our dude. We've got our dude right here if you want to... Oh, yeah, link him. Let me give you a link. Let me make sure this is the dude. Yep, sure is. Today we are doing a thing. Wee-wee-poo.

He might be French. You're looking at the way to pronounce the name of this flavored seltzer drink. All right, here we go. All right. We are looking at how to pronounce. This word, let's break down the pronunciation. Okay. So this is originally a word from French, meaning a cross, as in a Catholic cross, for example.

Croix is how it said in French, qura. Okay, the X is silent and OI makes this wah sound, a bit like W.A. Okay, but I'm going to feel weird doing that. You know? Yeah, I think he's starting off with the French and he's going to get to the English. Oh, he goes on? Does he go on? I think so. All right.

Let's find out. Oh, oops, skip ahead here. Which, meaning across. Okay, we know that. Croix is how it said in French. W.A. So, depending on the context, you can say it as CRO, but in English, it's often pronounced as Croy, as in this famous brand. of sparkling water.

Croix, Le Croix, is how it said. So, yeah, there are different ways of pronouncing it. Oh, well, he seems to believe it is okay to go either way. There you go, yes. If you're in French, if you're in France and you're asking for one of these sparkling waters, then you better say Lecois. Yeah, get it straight.

Here. Here in America, where we drink more La Croix. Let me get one named Croix's. You got any croix's with the pomp l'emos? This guy, by the way, that is many thousands and thousands of views on that. He found a niche, man. He really did.

You know what? And I just picture him sitting in this house with a list of words. Today, we are going to be pronouncing the word Nintendo. Nintendo. You know he's done it. I'm sure he has. He's got to have done it. This guy his name is Julian.

And this video has 25,000 views. His channel has 1.85 million subscribers. Wow. Who would have thought? I know. It's all about his delivery, though, right? That's it. It totally is, yeah.

And he's, you know, he's this and he's booze videos, like wine and champagne videos. Yeah, he's super into his winery. Ironically, those things, the wine stuff doesn't get near the views, like barely touches it. I know. I'd be really curious. I'm sure there's a way to do this, but is there a way to see. what his most popular pronunciation video is like what is the word that people have a problem with that they end up always coming to his oh i see what you mean yeah like what is his most popular one maybe or is

yeah exactly like euro the greek greek food yeah um 1.4 million views that's a lot that's a whole lot uh No key has 1.1 million views. Good Lord. There's another one. Spaghetti Bolognais. 219,000 views. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I want to know if there's a way.

Boy, he's got a whole section on Irish names, too. His highest, do you say Gucci? How to say Killian Murphy. I think Gucci is his highest, 4 million five years ago. Really? Yeah, but it's also got a girl overlaid on it. That may help. Oh, yeah.

A pretty girl, you know? A pretty girl. Yeah, 4.5, or 4.4 million views five years ago. Popular. Oh, there you go. Yeah, popular upload. So that does, this would be his. He's would be the highest, I think.

The highest, okay. So 4 million. Next one's 2.5 for French luxury brands. That's a bunch of them. Louis Vuitton. Yeah. Saw a lot of that in Vegas. Man, there's a Louis Vuitton every four feet in that town.

Yeah. Yeah. On that side of the strip, right? You don't see it downtown. But on the main, yeah, the main strip, new strip, you see a lot of. It totally is. By the way, the fifth most popular of his pronunciation videos is how to pronounce the name of Elon Musk and Grimes Baby. Oh, my gosh.

XAEA-12. For names. Here, we're doing that. Hold on. We are looking at how to pronounce the name of newborn baby of Canadian singer Grimes and Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, Spart, X-A-12. It isn't clear at this point if this is the actual name of the baby and how the parents will want it to be pronounced if it turns out to be. Congrats to Grimes and Elon in. This was five years ago before Musk turned really went nuts or really showed us who he was is what it was.

Right, right. Okay, well, you know, sometimes you struggle to find your foothold in YouTube and someone else figures it out by accident. Very, very well. Good on you, Julian, Miguel. Miguel and me are wine tasting, be. equally cool. Yes. All right. Thank you, friendly fleet. You were truly the friendliest of fleets.

Mm-hmm. For sure. Now we have Fenier. Fenier. I'm going to get it wrong and he'll probably pronounce it in the call. But anyway, about beef, fizz, we're going to put this one to bed. So here you go. What's up?

Scooby and booby. This is Fenrear. Not fenher, but fenrear. You're St. Paul. Speaking of meat soda, you've got to make yourself a nice beef fizz. You got to get to get to. some condensed beef broth some ginger ale

a splash of lemon juice mix that up all over some ice you had a nice cool refreshing beefy flavored summertime drink tasty love the show though okay I've come to this conclusion

this thing that everyone keeps sharing and he just read it's the same recipe yeah same exact recipe as that one that everybody yeah and it's old enough I think my grandma Wilson made me this once that's what I think actually really yeah that's all I can think

Kevin, it's the best, you know how you can only, like science, we know the furthest planet that we can see, and that's fine for now, and later we may get more information, our telescopes will get better, radio contact with aliens, we'll finally find out what's beyond whatever planet we're talking about. But until then, we'll settle on this. My grandma made me a cold beef fizz. There you go. That's what it had to be.

It wasn't meat that had kind of a little sparkling nature to it. It was the other way around. It was a drink that tasted like meat. Yeah, I'll give it that. It's fine. We'll let that be the current theory of the day. Someone want to prove me wrong later. Oh, don't say that.

You're inviting somebody now two weeks from now and I'll say, I found this recipe shared on social media of this beef fizz drink. If you do that, I need peer-reviewed quality scientifically backed proof that I ate a piece of meat that was carbonated. all right so if that's what somebody does they have to come to the table with with the real deal or forget it tangible meat uh bubbly meat yeah i get this thing this thing he just read i get this probably once to two three times a week yeah oh yeah no i see it pop up in discord all the time and and it's funny like it was it posts came in yesterday in discord and then somebody said wow has it already been two weeks since the last time somebody posted the same image yeah it happens a lot

I got two of them on socials somewhere this week. Somebody on Instagram put it in a comment. It's just like nonstop. So anyway, and then the other thing I was going to tell you, oh, I almost forgot about this. Speaking of Vegas, the day after we leave, they had a huge, huge windstorm. It came out of kind of nowhere and created total mayhem

and all of, not Flamingo. Free about Tropicana. Oh, Tropicana, which one's counter to the strip, right? Right, east west. All up and down that thing for miles, all the power lines down. Really? That high, those high winds, wow. Really bad.

So I text Chris and I say, hey, man, you doing okay after that? Because I just saw you and we left the day before. Boy, we got lucky. And he goes, so did I. And he sent me a picture from a cruise ship. He's on a cruise. He's on a cruise. He's on a Norwegian.

Or was it Norwegian? No, I was telling him I was on a Norwegian. He's doing a real Caribbean. Right. Something down in Mexico. Yeah, evasion of the seas. Yeah, good for him, man. Yeah, that's awesome.

So he missed it, too, but they had no power up and down that whole thing for, I don't know how long. It was really bad. And these photos and video coming out of there, it's like, that was not like that when I left. It wasn't our fault. We didn't do shit. We drove out, left you guys alone. It was actually the air being propelled out of the back of your plane that knocked over all the power. Well, I drove, so.

Oh, that's right. That's right. The speedy, the speediness of my exhaust, exactly. Exactly. German engineering, baby. That's what we got there. Yeah. Brian, do you want to know how to cook an egg?

I'd love to know how to cook an egg. Well, I feel like, I feel like you do know how. Yeah, that's the first thing actually that I learned how to cook, that my mom taught me how to cook is, here, get a pan, pull a little oil, drop the egg in, flip it over, eat it. Turns out, your mom is far more advanced. than current AI models are. Okay. At least visually anyway.

I don't know about maybe a regular LLM would just give you the straight facts, but you put this into like a, give me a detailed image generated thing of how to make an egg. And you'll love this. So here it is. Let me expand this out.

Step one, heat pan. That's fine. I don't know why you're heating a pan with a whisk. Yeah, so we're a little bit weird, right? Unless there's butter in there, I suppose. I don't know.

Number two, crack pan. Crack pan, sure. Now, there's already an egg in the pan, and he's holding an egg over the pan. And he's holding an egg. Yeah, what we're not seeing is the other side of the shell, which is wide open and the egg is falling out. Yeah, we're going to assume that and give them the benefit of the doubt. Step three says, poke egg, which is P-O-U-K, which is, I don't think of a word, but that's fine. Well, okay, sure.

That looks like egg-on-egg to me, so you're basically putting more yolk, add some more yolk to the yolk. Yeah, from this other egg that you have. And then step two again, somehow, this, just whatever this is. Step two. I don't know what's going on there. Egg bowl, divided egg bowl, okay. And we repeat step three, which is simply poo. And it's showing, I don't know what he's got with that spoon, maybe sauce.

Adding something, yeah. Step four is just a whisk without a handle, ghostly whisk doing nothing. I don't know what it's doing. But finally get a little heat. Finally get a little steam coming off of the pan. And then step five, which is kind of goofy, fry egg. And now we have an egg that's just leaking. And send a gift.

Oh, and send a gift. Yeah. Whatever that's about. Step four, egg. Poor, more yolk. We need more yolk. I just love egg. Fry egg.

Egg. And again, it went back to step four. I don't know if anyone noticed, but we're all over the map here. step five is uh you know is close to the most accurate here although there's a weird top there but there's your egg ready to go your egg you're cooked egg yeah good job be i you did it how to fry an egg yeah boy so many so many step twos and step fours and uh i freaking love this stuff here's the problem i know this stuff's going to get better yeah i don't want it to i want it to no i know it's so much more fun now right it's like when uh uh like uh the the the stuff where you

translate a movie into another language and then translate it back into English and it sounds absolutely ridiculous. Yeah. Yeah. Like that. I love it. I don't want those things to change. No. Life needs to be interesting that way. Keep AI funny. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Let's get some hats made. Let's get that done. Sounds good. Making blue though. If that red, yeah, exactly. I don't have a red hat, but I have a feeling if I had a red hat of any kind, even if it was blank. Uh-huh. That's just bad idea to wear that around, right? Yeah. I mean, because you immediately somebody sees you from the back immediately you're you're judged one way or the other right you're either you're either part of the tribe or you're oh that guy's a wackadoodle yeah

um i've got a red um it's a happy death day hat and i use it for when i'm mowing but it's it came free in one of those loot boxes like all right happy death day oh nice yeah yeah but nobody nobody nobody's driving by going who nobody's driving plus it's a little bit more maroon it's not i don't have any hats that are red like like the maga hats are red the Cherry Red, yeah? Yeah. Or whatever that is. I notice Elon's not wearing his dark mega hat anymore.

Yes, I know, apparently. And then Big T threatened to deport him the other day in a news conference. Yes, he did. Send him back to Zell African. This is such a great, great time really to be alive. It's kind of fun watching the, watching this couple break up. It's the only, it's the only good thing about it is that you can get a teeny, tiny, teeny, teeny bit of entertainment out of it.

Yes, exactly. And I'd rather not be getting it at all. But if it's going to happen, at least there's this stupid ass. At least it's very public and very, very angry. Junior high ass bullshit going on. It really is. And they got the keys to everything. Maybe some Epstein files.

Have a great day, DJT. Yeah. And he comes back with, maybe we will send him back. Deportation's a beautiful thing. Yeah, if we have Doge, look at, look at Tesla. We could probably send him back. back to South Africa I heard somebody other day

sorry you guys do even beyond the subject but I heard someone say the only border crisis is the one between his makeup line and where his skin is white I made me laugh I laugh pretty hard

I like that it wasn't bad you gotta get humor you can get it you guys all right yeah exactly otherwise you're just freaking miserable all the time that's that's the whole

you know that's when I do my impersonation of him that is it's to diffuse his the quote-unquote power. It is like just to put him in a little, a little tiny, sad place. Yeah, because that's where he belongs.

Yeah. If that guy. Moving on. Let's get to some news. We have news. We've been doing discovery on news and coming, working hard in the newsroom, you know?

Our news team, the TMS news team has been working hard. Yeah, we can't let them down by not, you know, showing their work. So here you go. Today's news is brought to you by. Brought to you by Covervilleware today. We're back to a normal schedule because I don't have to worry about sneaking in those rides when it's cool. Ah, how nice.

Celebrating the 80th birthday of Angela Trimble. Who the hell is Angela Trimble, you ask? Well, she's better known as Debbie Harry, lead vocalist of the band Blondie. She turned 80 a couple days ago. And so, of course, it's going to be an all-blondie episode. covers of and by the band and a couple solo covers by Debbie Harry herself. I really like Debbie Harry. I do too, yeah.

She's great. She's still around, right, doing things. She's still around, still singing, like just released something a couple of years ago, collaboration with some other artists. Nice. She's working a lot with the Dandy Warholz. I did a whole album with them a couple years ago, which is interesting. Singing on it and everything?

singing on it yeah wow that's cool i like that yeah 80 years old 80 years young debby harry that's wild yeah i still just picture her as just young blonde yeah absolutely maybe she's david she's debby slightly less hairy now i don't know that's rude i mean i'm i'm slightly less hairy too so listen i'm not i'm in the same boat this is not me giving giving her any shit. All right, giant wind turbine blades. Yeah. Crashed into traffic on a busy highway.

Good Lord. This is in Maryland. I don't feel like we get enough Maryland stories. No, we really don't. It's about time that we get some news from Maryland's and let them bring them to the party. That's right. Baltimore, what up? Get those Orioles out there doing what they do.

This is kind of a horrifying thing. the wind turbine blade fell into the interstate 70 near Hagerstown, or is it Hagerstown, Sammy Hagar's town. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Hagerstown, but I don't know. Sounds like a cool town. I don't want to invite a well actually, oh, you mispronounced Hagerstown. Oh, we'll get it for sure.

A bunch of freaks. But holes? We got a week before they, maybe they'll simmer down and won't send us one. We'll see. We'll see. It sounds like a cool town, but look at this picture, everybody. this is the one of the blades just laying in the highway yeah wow nasty uh this happened at 530 a m that is a terrible time to have anything happen uh when a truck carrying a blade oh so the blade didn't fly off the thing i know that's what it sounds like right like the headline makes it sound like giant wind turbine blade crashes into traffic on busy highway well it was it was among the traffic and then it and then it came out came off the truck and yes this channel the Fox 96.1

you know I think you may be your headline work maybe needs a little bit of tweakage all right don't be leading us down no path where we think an entire turbine lost its control and sent blades all over Maryland okay right

causing the blade to detach and partially block both westbound oh okay that's crashing yeah I guess that's crashing sure partially block traffic because it's detached I guess falling, the initial fall was probably gnarly because it's a huge thing. And from what I can tell in this image, that huge crane is what was holding it or something. I don't know how you transport that thing around.

No, I think the crane is trying to put it back up. Like it looks like that semi there on, I think, let me pull up the photo better on my side. But it looks like the truck on the left side is what was carrying it. I see what you're saying. So is it, wow, that's really long. One of these long loads where you got like, probably had to have what do they call that they have other cars along with it to keep it

to keep people away or whatever yeah oh yeah yeah right I don't know what that's called autocade not autokade what's wrong with me a barricade you're talking about I don't know what you call that what do you call with a barricade

what about all the cars go when a president's going somewhere in the motorcade motorcade that's a motorcade is it like that I don't know what the word is but it's like a protective Oh, like, yeah, where you've got, yeah, you've got the cars falling with the lights and stuff like that. Yeah, I see what you're saying. Escort, chat says maybe.

Convoy, Claire says. Convoy. They got 50 bucks. Great big convoy. We get these, we see these all the time, not falling off trucks, but there's, um, the company, is T-Sys or something like that is here in Colorado that, um, makes and shapes the blades. And, um, Tristan worked there for about a month. This is one of these places where, you know, you're sanding these things constantly and the air is just thick with this dust, toxic dust.

They're having to wear like hazmat suits and breathers and stuff like that. And even wearing all that, he'd still come home like coughing. It's like, yeah, let's find you something else. Yeah, that doesn't seem good. Seems kind of cool up front, but once you get in there. Exactly. Yeah. So that's wild to me. I would think that would be a machine doing that.

But I guess these are so large. Yeah, I guess you can. I think they're, yeah, they're probably, I'm sure he wasn't just using his hand to sand it. I'm sure he was using a machine to sand it. Sure, sure. Or get it in the sand or whatever. Well, they said, okay, so for the most part, nobody was super hurt, although one person was taken to a medical center with non-life-threatening injuries.

So probably just wrong place, wrong time in the car and got banged up. They're okay. The incident led to closure of all westbound lanes and two eastbound lanes near the intersection. Cruz worked to clear the same. scene all lanes were reopened by 828 that's actually a long time from 530 wow no kidding that traffic was pissed yeah and that's exactly on a monday morning that is uh don't like that people were late to work that day in maryland the blade which belonged to a turbine from the roth rock wind farm in oakland maryland was captured on camera by the transit or the maryland

transportation place look i think they need to upgrade their camera that is some blurry bullshit That is crap camera. Really bad. What is the year here? How are you supposed to do the whole person of interest thing, spotting somebody's license plate and figure out where they're taking their captor? If you can't even like tell, is that a car or is that a smudge on the lens? Yeah.

Yeah, that would have sucked. That whole mess is a bad one. But I always like these stories because they are reminders that are what we think are these really efficient public transit things that we do for highways, three ways six lanes across it all goes to shit when one truck full of baked beans tips over or one of these falls off or it's just that's it that's the deal what claire pretty dismissive of our stories today have you noticed that a little bit she is she's a little uh little salty a little salty today claire you all right over there can we can we send you a hot bowl of the lucky charms

i'll stop looking at chat i mean i love claire but sometimes she's A little distracting us. Hey, we're just here having a good time, you know, having fun, trying to cheer each other up, having a good time. I agree that it sucks people are getting deported, but I don't know that a morning show would do itself a favor by just talking about that for the entire hour and a half. You know what I mean? Yeah, I'm pretty pissed about that as well. Anyway, let's move on. I'm not looking at chat now.

It's now over there. Chinese hotel told wake-up service, I'm sorry, wake-up service including red pandas climbing into guest beds must stop. So, oh, yeah, I need to know more. Okay. Like red, like, red, like, red, like, red, like, red, Disney turning red pandas,

like, uh, how they use the wake-up service. The ones that we have at a zoo here that they never, every time we go, there, it's, even in the season, they're supposed to be the most active and stuff. Yeah. Because they do have some seasonal. stuff they have to do or they won't come out

you know they get kind of hibernate certain times of the year every time we go even at the time where they're supposed to be all out running around they are never out I'm convinced the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City is lying to me that there are red pandas there I don't think they're there no it's an empty promise

of the red panda we we have them here and we have one here at the Denver Zoo and it it makes it self, it makes itself visible. I don't know if maybe they just don't give it enough hidey hole space.

It may be like the Hogle Zoo has more hidey hole space for it to go, but Denver Zoo, you can spot it. Come here and look at our red panda. I might because every time I go. Yeah. And I get excited because I think they're really cool looking. And I'm thinking, sweet,

I get to see the red pandas today because it's the time of year they told me they're super active. Yeah. Nope. Close I ever got was like a lump of fur in the corner that might have been one. It could have just been a stuffed animal that they put there. Oh, we've really got to do something.

They're starting to get on to us. We got to put a... Anybody got a red stuffed animal we can put there? Yeah, or like one of the zoo people dropped a hat or something. For all I know, that is nothing over there. Right. It's fuzzy mold growth like I found in my keyboard cleaner yesterday. By the way, if you want to freak your family out, run around with that open and just say, look, everybody, look, check it out.

Look at it. That thing I showed yesterday with the mold in it. They love that. that oh my god i know because you stuck your nose in it apparently and they're like he's gonna die now he uh they were all they're all losing it although was it doc not dr tollbert somebody else told me that it's food mold which is not a problem if you snort if you sniff it yeah isn't it uh don't we get penicillin from food mold i think so yeah ultimately i mean ultimately not not just in it's like raw right off the bread form right that's how we discovered it but i think we were fine i don't

I don't think we do it like we used to do it. They don't just scrape it off bread anymore, as far as I know, put it right in your veins. This will clear your infection right up, sir. Exactly, yeah. Anyway, so here's the deal. Chinese hotel's been ordered to end its unusual wake-up call service that involves red pandas climbing onto guest beds

after concerns for safety and animal rights. These are really rare over here. I don't know if they're rare in Japan, or sorry, in China. But the red pandas are super rare in the state. I was under the impression, perhaps completely incorrectly, that they were not endangered. What's the stage before endangered? Protected? Protected, maybe, yeah, that's probably it.

That sounds right for some reason. It's like endangered than extinct. Something like that, yeah. It says the service involves bringing one of the hotels red pandas. That's just a weird thing to say. The hotel has red pandas. Yeah. Anyway, I was in Vegas and nobody had this.

They just keep them in a closet and say, all right, you five, go wake up. Mr. Johnson in room three. Yeah. Take Rusty. He's looking, he's looking spry. So they take the pandas up to the guest bedroom in the morning, allowing the panda to roam freely around the room and climb onto the bed and just kind of

it's like their little wake-up service. It's very weird. Reviews online for the resort show's guest checking in so they can just book the experience and get up close to a cute furry animal in the comfort of their own room. One British couple, Rian and Ben, let's see, who run the YouTube channel, of course, on tour with Driggers.

Drigers? Drigers? Drigers? Drigers? On tour with Dridgers. Sure. Documented their experience with the Red Panda is at the Lehi-Ladu-Lijang Hotel, Holiday Hotel in April. Video shows Red Panda first climbing up a tree in a small courtyard between rooms before it roams through the corridor to the couple's room with a staff member where it is given an apple in chunks form and hops on the bed.

so uh promptly chat on the guy's face yeah that's the part that's not really um talked about much is that the pandas aren't just walking into the hotel room alone they're coming in with a handler right and uh or a staff member which means you're sitting there sleeping and a staff member of the hotel is coming into your room with a red panda to toss it on your bed with some with some apple chunks yeah i i feel like um well i mean mission accomplished if you're trying to wake me up I guess. Yeah, yeah. I just don't want a dude from the hotel. I don't mind waking up with an animal on the bed, but I don't want to just a dude

from the hotel standing there. Like, here, give him some apple pieces. They like that. They like chunks of apple. But my gosh, red pandas are the most freaking adorable. Oh, there's the cutest things on the planet. Yeah. Which is why I'm so pissed at the Hogle Zoo. Bastards.

And they have a beautiful habitat there. It's clear they've taken really careful caution of it. They even have warnings out front saying, don't yell at these. these are special something something this one's been all over the world and all this all this language on the front of their habitats clear that the zoo has taken extra care but i'm starting to think it's all just a ruse to make me think they're in there damn it pisses me off probably hey here's the video of on tour with the driggers this is the this is the british couple that

uh let's see what we got here oh yeah here we go uh that that that pan is on there bed eating apple chunks coming up on zib-zib-zudu yeah you're gonna give us like 18 minutes of uh you know here's other things about the hotel room and it's got a very weird couch in the back and all right free robe and blah blah blah here we go there he is oh my gosh i want one totally right but i think that's why they're complaining those because yeah that's exploiting the animal this isn't for us to do you know no we should have to roam around their habitat and wake them up

we should be pissing them off in the morning those are beautiful I want one it's never going to happen but I'd love one I'd just like to see one Hogle Zoo I'm just gonna keep calling them out you bastards yeah Hogle Zoo oh wow like four people from the hotel come into your room with this thing

yeah half the whole staff that bed is short by the way I can tell yeah there's like so that must be like a little kid's bed or something because the bed that the red panda's on is pretty tall. It's not too bad. The height of that one's good. The length is a little short, but every

every Asian bed I ever slept in when I was in China and Tokyo were too short. I was, I'm not their prime clientele. Yeah. And their sinks were 400 miles below me. Just like if you want to wash your face you were like

fully in half bent over. Yeah, it would hurt. I'd actually like it. It's better to kneel on a pillow or something and use the sink than it was to stand. This is a me problem. I don't blame an entire nation or continent full of shorter than average folks. Of course. I blame me and whatever the hell's wrong with me. You know. Your giant jeans. Yeah, my huge jeans. I got a big pair of jeans. Well, anyway, that's a lot of fun there. They got going there. Let's see. And they said they have to stop because of, They can't do it so people are, uh, the PETA, the equivalent of PETA or something.

Yeah, a bunch of animal groups. Local forestry bureau looks like, okay. Yeah. So, they'll shut that down. Bummer. Yeah. But I guess, you know, that's not the natural habitat for, turns out, uh, a double, uh, hotel room is not the, the, uh, the natural habitat for a red panda.

Stuff always gets worse when YouTube influencers get involved, too. If you notice that. Yeah. Well, it brings attention. Like, oh, we didn't know they were doing that until we, uh, we saw this thing with a million views. I do think we're, I was talking harder about this yesterday,

and maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like we're entering a new phase where the weirdest crimes will be around the influence culture. There's like some only fans lady in the news lately that cut her boyfriend's head off or something. Oh, geez.

There's like the girl in Mexico that was shot during a live thing. Oh, yeah. It was a big-time TikToker. The two, the couple that was traveling across country and... Oh, right. Yeah.

The Tudy, Petitio, Petito. Petito? That was it. Yeah, it was here in Utah. That all happened. Oh, right. Yeah. That sucked for us and them.

Mostly them. Mostly her and her family. I feel terrible for it. Yeah, that's exactly. I want to make it clear. She got the worst of it. Yeah, I want to make this clear. I do not think Utah suffered much from what happened there.

Right. As much as she did. A lot of people gave the highway patrolmen a lot of crap for not catching the signs. They have body cam footage. Now that I've seen that from the documentary, I don't think he's deserving of all the heat because she just kept talking about

how everything was fine. We're good. We just gotten a little bit of an argument. It's fine. We can go. Here's what we're doing. It didn't seem like any eminent danger on that video. And so they let him go. But it's the 2020 hindsight thing.

It's rough. Of course. of course when in the in the context of what you know now looking at things say oh wow there are all these signs and and but at the time there was nothing to indicate that yeah oh yeah ruby frank i imagine they have people fighting all the time that uh that get pulled over because they're so distracted by their fight they don't realize they're swerving or speeding or something like that oh hell yeah for sure mac addict says why do influencers get paid money because they have many many views on content that are on platforms that pay them that's it that's it that's it So if you're monetized on, I don't know, TikTok, you rake in multiple chunks of cash. And some people, I know someone who's only about 50,000, 60,000 followers over there, but their videos tend to hit big, even with a more average following. And they're pulling in five grand every two weeks or something. It's ridiculous amounts of money.

Wow. You know what I could, you know what Brian and I could use? Five grand every two weeks. Yeah, I'd be fine with that. Totally fine with that. I could use that. anyway red pandas what are you going to do uh here's the story about um a human gene introduced into mice let's talk about that okay uh this i thought was interesting and also maybe a little bait for

bobby who's on vacation right now so that's why we don't see him in the chat in last few days oh yeah um but if bob if wind gets back to bobby i may share this link with him this would be a great story for him next time we have him on yeah and he can debunk whatever i do wrong here but uh human gene makes mice speak is the headline okay talking mice brian oh oh it's happening it's happening yeah it's uh it's that time they let jerry speak on tom and jerry and no one liked it it was a one cartoon oh really jerry said stuff normally he's a silent protagonist tom tom usually too but something i don't remember what the deal was but he talked and this is in the early ones when they were good, not the crap in the 80s.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I remember Jerry saying something and me and my friends were horrified that this was a thing. We couldn't believe they tried to give him a voice. He should never do that. But apparently we and real science are about to. Scientists after, uh, have done this. They've altered rodents with language DNA from humans and triggered startling changes in

vocal behavior in a stunning leap of genetic research, they say. Scientists have managed to insert a human gene into mice. resulting in an unexpected altered vocalization. Give me more cheese, says the mouse. Groundbreaking experiment conducted by Rockefeller University has revealed a small genetic change that will have significant effects on communication

by introducing the human-specific Nova-1 gene into mice. Researchers have opened new avenues for understanding the evolution of vocal communication, shedding light on how humans may have developed their advanced language skills. What I want to hear is a mouse talk. the findings were remarkable baby mice with this thing exhibited different vocalizations compared to those with typical mouse version so like regular mouse with no change just whatever and then these were significantly different like some more variation in the sound that they were making basically vocalizations says specifically when calling to their mothers these baby mice these modified mice produced higher pitch squeaks and a different mix of sounds than their non-changed counterparts

these changes are not just minor they provide critical insights into how complex vocal communication might have evolved over time the goal of the science is not to give mice a voice the goal of the science is to see if we can figure out how we became such a communicative

species how that evolved so it's kind of interesting wow very interesting yeah I never even really think about what what it takes like why we have a language in communication and why other animals

appear not to I mean they make you know there's the warning sounds they make and then there's the welcoming sounds and the way they speak to their young and the way that penguins for example the parents can make a noise

that the penguin on the other side of the thing can say oh that's my mom and they start making their way over to that one which is really amazing but but actually like an actual language an actual expensive language and what it takes

to is it is it is it do we have more muscles in our tongue that allow us to do that or is it you know something else genetics yeah that's interesting right yeah this is like it's a little like secret of nym so we have to be a little careful you know yeah right because the nim people they really nobody asked the mice if they want to speak yeah and that big scary owl going come inside or go away I love that movie so much yeah yeah tell he's talking about sending us a voice similar something about this. No, send it. Because she's a...

Get it in. She's... Yeah. I'll play it. My mouse scientist or scientist who happens to work with mice. Yeah. Send us a thing. I'll be happy to play it.

Yeah. All right. While we wait for that, let's do this. More China. Okay. China. More China. No other Trump impression, even if you didn't know it.

Oh, she says she's not sending it? Oh, okay. I thought, oh, somebody told you to send a... voice message. Oh, all right. Okay. Do what you're going to do. Chinese, sorry, Chinese humanoid robots generate more soccer excitement than their humanoid

counterparts. Okay. Or they're human counterparts. Generate more soccer excitement. So, people are more excited to watch robots play soccer than humans is what I guess. That's the basis of this. Sure. While Chinese men's soccer team hasn't generated much excitement in recent years,

humanoid robot teams have won over fans in Beijing based on the A810, AI technology involved in, sorry, more on the AI technology involved than any athletic prowess shown. It's a weird sentence. We'll take it. Yeah. Four teams of humanoid,

keep saying humanoid robots faced off in a fully autonomous three-on-three soccer match. Ooh, that's pretty cool. Powered entirely by artificial intelligence on Saturday night in the Chinese capital in what was touted as China's first in a preview for the upcoming world. humanoid robot games to take place in Beijing. I would actually want to tune into that. Here's the thing. We're proving it right here that if it was saying,

oh, they're going to be having a three-on-three human soccer match in China, we'd be like, very cool. But the fact that this robot's like, okay, we're proving that it is generating more excitement than their human counterparts. Yeah, I want to see this. But I need some translation.

I don't know Chinese, so I can't. I need to have some commentary I can understand. This team is awesome. Oh, my gosh. Oh, we got video in there. We have video on the website. Oh, look at this. Okay.

So there's them out there playing a little photo of them. Yeah. There's some, whoops, AP, don't give me a pop-up. There's a play button in the bottom left corner. What happened here? They're taking a guy out. That's some Futurama bender-licking bullshit right there. That's so stupid.

That photo at the very top actually has a play button on the bottom left. And if you sit through a Ford commercial, you might not get it. because you're blocking that shit. Look at this. It's great. Yeah, this is great. I would watch this. Are you kidding me?

I mean, this is at least as fun as watching Van do it. Totally. The little steps they do. Just look at their little steps. Yeah, exactly. Like a bunch of 80-year-old men trying to play soccer. I wonder what the battery is on these things and how long they last. Yeah.

I would watch the shit out of this. I would too, yes. I really would. because there's a aspect of randomness to this that you don't get. Because normally if you've got a team that's really good, you kind of know who the stars are and everything. It's not like... Look at the one edging that. Oh. Yeah. That's awesome.

Whoa, shit. This is the greatest thing. Oh, they're taking them out because he doesn't work. Look at the people. They're freaking out. I can watch that for hours. I'm in. I'm all in. Bring this to the rest of the world, China. this could be your great

they sure get injured easily though just fell right over and it's out it's fantastic all right we're gonna take a break when we come back my sister will be here

we're gonna talk about we're gonna kind of sum up the whole the whole entirety of the time management stuff on the other end of what you guys did but also just you know

kind of some bookend thoughts on that a little recap okay cool so watch for that coming up after this song Brian brought yes this is a singer name Daisy the Great. She has a brand new album called The Rubber Teeth Talk. It's out via S Curve Records.

She's also got a headline tour coming in the fall. So you can find out more about that if you enjoy this. And I think you will. Let's see. She's inspired by folks like Fiona Apple, the Sundays, David Bowie, Dirty Projectors, and Liz Fair. Love all of those. So that's great. Here is Daisy the Great and Dog. Dragon, I feel like my body's all in a few. control New York is mountain I'm a mouse in a maze wake up take two

I've been stuck in an endless scroll on six blocks out that guys have been in the days my closest kinship With the witty of the blue face down on the sidewalk Time to the truth Is it all just talk, talk, talk Oh, so

What's going on? I'm overwhelmed And he exhausted Walking my feet like a dog on the street And my head's in the leaves In my mind I finally lost it Oh yeah

Shut down and park it on the west side the hudson shines What's one more existential mess to get through? Spilling guts to my shadow, but she doesn't have the time. Kicking up a beach pit till our warrior is blue. My closest kinship with the winnie with the move, face down on the sidewalk, tell me the truth. just talk oh so what's going on i'm overwhelmed and he exhausted walking my feet like a dog on the street in my heads and the leaves in my mind i finally lost it I'm chilling the meat and I'm not having fun.

I'm a dog on a leash, I'm a dog on the line. Oh, so what's going on. I'm overwhelmed and he exhausted and walking my feet like a dog on the street in my heads and the leaves in my mind. in my mind, I finally lost it. Oh no, yeah. Believe me. I can explain. Now look, I don't care what you heard. I can explain. Give me two minutes. I just had phone sex. the rubber teeth talk and a song called dog oh that's awesome song called dog song called dog all right

let's get this going on right here if i can find her intro psychosomatic that boy needs therapy you're psychosomatic that boy needs therapy down on the couch it's too early for a fish sandwich it certainly is but it's not too early to add windy to this call who is somewhere i've never been what's the name of this town you're in uh if you've never been to camis i don't think i oh maybe i've been to camis You know like Meere Lake, that area. We're actually in a different town, but I forgot the name of it. You called it Oxford. What did you say in our text?

Oakley. Oakley. Yeah, I've never been to specifically something called Oakley. And then you sent me a photo of what looked like a rodeo. It's, dude, it's a 90-year rodeo. You've never heard of this? I really haven't, no. Oh, my God.

I mean, I know about the Lehigh rodeo is the popular one up this way, but I don't know. Oh, Oakley's like, I don't know. I feel like it's from my childhood. Everyone went on dates to the Oakley Rodeo. This is weird. I mean, I know we have a gap in age, but maybe it got cool when I was in. Maybe. I don't know why.

I've never heard of it. I know the glass, the sunglasses company, Oakley's. I know that. Oh, it was the same problem. Yeah. Anyway, this looks like fun. I would go here. It does.

Yeah. I like a rodeo. Yeah. It's a good old boys time. Sure. It was a rodeo in Greeley at the end of our bike ride. The Greeley Stampede, which happens every year. They timed it poorly because it was the same weekend.

But Ludacris was playing, of all people to be playing at the Greeley Stampede. That is a surprise to me. Yes, it is. This is perfect. You're going to get you. Hey, Wendy, it's good to have you here. I know you're in the rural, whatever. You got good internet, though, so that's cool.

I know what it is, guys. I keep messing with the audio. And it turns out there's things to do to make it better. There sure are. And look at you doing that. I am a, whatever the standard setting you got when you bought the thing is, I keep it at that. Yeah, you're a factory, you're a factory setting person. I really am.

Well, we understand. Sorry. But no big deal, because you're still here in the state. We're going to see you tomorrow at the 4th of July funness. I'm going to go get to see our mom on Saturday, which is why I switch films act. That'll be fun. So we got all kinds of plans. But before we do any of that, speaking of time, let's sum up.

the time management stuff that you guys just completed over at No Better You you, you know, book in this a bit for us. Give us like, you know, we started on the other side of why we need to manage our time better. Now we're all the way on the other side. Did we learn anything? Is there

anything in that that you went, hmm, interesting. This group's dynamic taught windy this even. And here's what we're going to do or whatever. How do you want to approach that? Yeah, and I'm going to ask Brian you a couple questions. Yes. Yes. I'm like your your feedback as a student that hasn't completed the last week yet yes yeah here's the funny part

Brian you're missing the best week the best week I know I know I am yeah well it's and it's just funny to like oh I just didn't haven't had time for the time management class to be there live but it is summer I mean if I was to optimize this this should have been February when everyone's sitting around like I hate life you know June June's a little more fun um no it it ended up being such a good group and so fun and what was interesting is you know I have the old faithfuls that like do any class you know and they're awesome and I adore them and I'm so grateful for them we've got a lot of new people that I'd never met didn't know them at all and just brought so much amazing thought and care to it it was awesome so it's really fun I feel like I am I mean I know

I taught the class but I feel like I really got out of it yeah and uh It was just, it was a great group. So we really had a lot of fun. Cool. That's awesome. Yeah. So I'd love to hear from Brian. And I actually have some of their feedback.

I was going to share a couple things that they, they shared. But I'd love to hear Brian, your thoughts. Any takeaways, anything for you that you're like, oh. Does Wendy know about the thing you're making, Brian? No. No. No. No.

No. So, so one of the things that we talked about was like the, the figuring out your schedule and then figuring out like the, here are the things in my day that'll take 10 minutes and knock those one of those out to get some satisfaction or 20 minutes or whatever. And I like a good physical, tangible to-do list. I like paper, but I like something, you know, the big problem with paper that digital has it on it is that you can move things around and get things where you want it. So I'm actually 3D printing based on something I saw a few weeks ago on TV

with those old air traffic controller racks where they'd put the planes. Each plane would be its own little strip in the rack and they could move the racks up and now they could slide another plane in between two other ones and move, you know, change the order priority. That is the system that works for me as far as visually tracking like, oh, I need to do this.

Oh, just got an email from a client that this needs to kind of take press, or has to be a higher priority. But it's only you take me 20 minutes. So I'm designing 3D printing a little track that I can put each of those items in as a to-do list. And it's got a space for a six-sided dye so I can say, all right, one is 10 minutes, two is 20 minutes, three is 30 minutes for how long I assume it's going to take.

And then when I'm doing my planning the day before, the last, you know, my least productive part of the day and saying, here are the things I'm going to do tomorrow, the three-hour task, and then a few smaller tasks, I can say, all right, this is the order I'm going to get stuff done in, come in the next morning, and it's all ready for me to start knocking it. I think that's awesome. This, like, tangible physicality is very cool, I think. Yes. I feel like there is a, so I'm the very same brain.

I need physical paper. So I have everything on an electric calendar, because, of course, I have to on one hand. And then I handwrite it on a handwritten calendar as well because I need to feel, I don't know. I honestly think it's just when you were born, like I do. Yeah, sure. I think you just need something. That's super cool. Right here is my handwritten calendar right here.

You can't know. It's so washed out. Do you feel like you have, you've gamified it a little bit with the variety? Absolutely. Which is the thing that works for me is gamifying it. Yeah. Absolutely. That's awesome.

Yeah, it's, you know, your, the course helped me realize that, it's not I'm not going to change myself I'm not going to change I need to change the systems to support the way that I work as opposed to trying to change myself so right which is which honestly is the deepest thing I think anyone learns for me that's the you know I think Kim gave us the the no better you title right but it really is the concept of when you know yourself better and then work with your actual self instead of some other I think this is where, you know, you watch something on TikTok and you're like, okay, I'm going to do that thing. And it may resonate and work really well with you and your personality. And sometimes

it just never will. And I think time is one of those things that are so confusing in how it applies to us. Because you can, I mean, I could just observe a family. Like we go to the rodeo and there was a lot of families around us. And I watched how they actually talked about being on time, being late, how they treated one another regarding walking slow. I heard someone call someone else lazy. I was like, hi, guys. I'm observing. But I mean, right within just a normal context,

you could hear all the messages given to a kid about time, time management, and their personality being good or bad related to time. And that's wild to think about, right? Time is made up anyway. I really thought today was the Fourth of July. So I'm not doing well with guys. That's true. I sent Wendy a text last night.

I said, hey, are you good for tomorrow? She's like, oh, crap, I thought tomorrow was the fourth. It really did. I was like, are we driving right to Misha's house for the swim party? What is happening? The week's pretty screwed up. It is. And we hiked.

I don't know if any of you've ever done the fiery furnace in Arches, National Park. But sign up now. It is the most beautiful, crazy. And you have a tour guide, you have like a ranger take you or you're going to die. So just FYI, don't do it without a ranger. And we had a blast and we were so hot and tired after words. We took a nap and everyone woke up utterly confused. And one of my kids is like, is it Thursday?

I'm like, it's still Monday. Like the fact that it can shift, a nap will do that to you know, right? Or being on vacation or whatever. Like time really is this moving thing. And you know, you're at the dentist, time takes a long time. when you're having the best moment you've waited for a long time to have it's going to go fast.

So it really fluctuates and I think that's it's funny how we sort of have had these things tied to our worth as a person and that's part of like if you're neurodivergent at all time is going to feel really different

than it for you than it does for somebody else and those judgments because you know the rest of the world has agreed to follow clocks and figure it out. If you read about the history of time and when clocks first existed and why and who decided,

it's like, oh, this is arbitrary. It feels like money. It's all made up. Yeah. We just agreed on a, we agreed on a system. And that was, and then we all agreed to work 40 hours.

I don't know why we all signed up for that one. But anyway, so that idea is like, okay, well, there's this thing, but most people come to it as those messages from when they were kids of they were lazy. They don't,

they're not very productive. or the absolute opposite, which is like their only value is being productive. And so you take whatever that was and then you add modern life, people are like, I'm not okay. So that was really the fun part about it is, you know, there were some good techniques. I think people really liked the 333.

So I'll just share what that is really quick. That's you do three, you plan for three hours of deep work. They don't have to be consecutive. three hours where you are really doing the work you your biggest project the hardest task the thing you really want done right so say Scott you had to draw something for somebody right you have to create something sure and you lock your phone away you have it designated on the calendar you do I for me I need mute music I need to be standing at a standing desk like you find you find your thing and then you do that work for an hour and take a break or whatever and that's

the first three the second three is three sort of urgent tasks that are driving you nuts like get your dentist appointment you know schedule the windshield replacement you know that same uh and then and then the third one is um three maintenance life tasks right so it's just like thrown in a load of laundry putting the dishes away and it really does make you feel like oh I'm actually it like intentionally living my life I'm not covered in piles of laundry or dishes you know that eventually gets really good if you're doing three things a day, you know. So anyway, that people really seem to like that.

So I think those were valuable. And then a lot of people responded well to the trying to figure out your own time personality, you're a time identity, how you talk to yourself, where those things came from, I think can be really impactful. So, Brian, did you notice any of that for yourself, that your time identity needed tweaking or? Definitely. And definitely got a little more productive.

I haven't gotten, you know, I think. I think when I implement some more of these things, I'm going to get a lot more productive, but I noticed, I noticed an improvement that I realized, oh, if I did this, if I did this three-hour thing every day and did these, you know, than the smaller tasks every day, I would be way more productive. The days that I did it noticed a big difference. Yeah, yeah. It's getting stuff into habit that's... Exactly. You got to do it for two weeks to lock it in, I think is what they say. Yeah. Yeah.

And so that is, well, you know what they actually say is wrong. 21 days was a came from a that was a very common thing to say it takes three weeks or 20 days right yeah it was from a self-help book in like the 50s or 60s and some dude just said it it was just randomly just arbitrarily came up with that and the research is actually on average is 64 days or 68 days somewhere around there and depending on the hardness of the task so a really hard task might be 200 days yeah yeah we're all like, I didn't do it in three weeks. Well, because some rando made that up a long time ago. Yeah. Wow. Anyway. So, yeah, it's a lot of fun. I hope, I mean, we're going to do another round in the fall. And so hopefully people are. Did stuff from that? I actually had a question about neurodivergency. I don't know if this is a little throwing this at you all at once, but that implies there's a baseline, right? Like if you say, oh, these people are neurodivergent, well, okay, but where's the baseline that you compare them to? So are there people that are just, like, they're the baseline and they have no divergen. Yellow stripe down the middle of the road. Yeah. Do those people exist?

Neuropypical is the current word we use for that. Okay. And then you're diverging from the typical is the, why you say neurodivergent. Okay. And really, it's, if you think about maybe the perfect, I think it's changing. I think these words will be obsolete one day, to be honest. but I think the typical neurotypical thing is sort of like working memory, sense of time, spatial relations, like all of the sort of psychological abilities our brain has, they're just going to follow in the middle of the road.

So they're going to do well in a classroom. They're going to be able to sit and focus and produce the work, right? So you're going to have a majority of kids in a classroom be able to do that. that's where we're getting the neurotypical um they process both visually auditorily there are no diverging organic structures there's no um other mental processes that are sort of out of the ordinary and it just kind of works right right so that has been historically the template and then when anyone diverges from that there's different names for that or reasons so like a praxis or you know Like, you process, you don't process auditorily at all or nonverbal learning disorder.

You cannot look at someone's face and figure out what the heck is happening, right? So there's all these different ways our brains are diverging in how they do the fundamentals of, you know, working through life. And so what we thought is like, oh, no, that can be right? But the reality is we don't have explorers and we don't have city builders and we don't have risk takers or most of the fruit we eat without somebody who's a little impulsive or somebody who's willing to strap on the backpack and go to where no one's gone before. That is a different kind of brain and very much an ADHD brain. So you take, I don't know if you've ever seen like this before where there's like a working dog and somebody gets it as a family pet and that dog is miserable

and eating all the furniture and is just like, and they think it's a bad dog. It's like, No, no, no, no, no. This dog should be running 60,000 hours in a field chasing cattle. And when you put it there, it's amazing, right? And we know this, let's take ADHD, for example, we take a classroom of kids, and they've done this, of course. They've taken a classroom of kids and had a portion of the year in class and marked, you know, all the behaviors sort of collated like, okay, this kid does this, that. The kids with ADHD are suffering in that classroom. It's hard.

It is not their best work. And then the neurotypical kids are doing great, right? And then they switch and they take them to an outside classroom. So they spent the next three months in the woods for school. And the kids with ADHD become the leaders. The kids with ADHD are thriving. They are, their grades go up. Everything about what they're doing improves.

And then the neuroticable kids are maybe last in line or maybe are not quite, because their risk taking is much less. less. They're less impulsive. They're less whatever. And so they turn into sort of followers versus leaders in a classroom. So right there, you can see like this isn't, there's no problem. It's the setting. And the setting can be a problem for someone, you know, depending on which way your brain operates. But I often think about just the various things that exist because somebody was brave enough. So one thing, so we're on this beautiful, amazing hike. Fiery Furnace, it is hot, but it is also misleading. You're not dying. No, you'll make it. I remember, I did this much

long time ago and I was much younger. That's why I don't remember that. It's weird that I don't remember that town because you're kind of in the same area there, I think. Canab, I guess I remember. No, no, no. You're thinking, we were in Moab, but we are now three hours. Oh, okay. Yeah, but that fiery, everything in the Moab zone. Yeah. It's another planet, dude. It's a So cool. Gosh, dang. And the whole time you're like, why are we not all dead? Because one slip up and we're dehydrated.

It's over. We actually stayed in this motel. And my son was very worried. It was just real racist and we shouldn't be there. It's called the Apache Motel. Oh, the Apache Motel. Yeah. And it's John Wayne.

So it was Elliot who was... Yeah, he's very concerned. Also, he's like, this rodeo is just like, you know, kind of racist. I was like, honey, I know. We're exploring a world where everyone is, white and wearing a cowboy hat. But anyway, so in the Apache Motel is the hotel that, or the motel that John Wayne stayed in. And we stayed in John Wayne's room because it was the biggest one to fit our whole family.

I am pretty sure I slept in John Wayne's bed. Dude. It was so old. The Duke's bed. That's awesome. He didn't find like a big impacted turd in the toilet. Oh, gosh, no. But it did.

It's a historical site and for reasons. But anyway, it was pretty fun. But what I was going to say is the fiery furnace is, you know, it's just you're bouldering a little bit and kind of having to do that thing where your hands are on one set of walls and you're walking on the other. And so it was, it was a blast. Anyway, we're going along and our guide is 12 years old and so nice and telling us all the things. He was so great. Anyway, he takes us into this like cold kind of cavern thing. He doesn't say look up or anything.

He just kind of sees what we do. And then we go and he goes, I want you all sit up there, you know? And then he tells the story. about these explorers in the 60s and 70s who decided they wanted to map every single arch and there are 2000, 3,000 arches, something crazy much. Easily that, yeah.

And so they went days and days and days and weeks and months just climbing and exploring and trying to find it. And there's the story of the guy. I mean these are not classroom kids. You know what I mean? There's a different brain that goes on

with this, right? Anyway, so he climbs into the space we're in. And our guide said he was hot he was about to eat his lunch he took his hat off he was exhausted and he looked up and we all look up at the same time and there is this unbelievable arch right above us

you would have never seen it and it's called surprise arch um there I go but it made me think about this idea of you know you can think of like how civilizations could start right like you you have the initial explorer right that's

a different set of brain and skills and desires and personality and then you have you know the early settlers and what they do and then you have the like establishers then you have you know you can think of businesses this way like we're good at different phases for things it's what makes humanity awesome it's been challenging for those who are neurodivergent when their only option has been sort of the four walls of a particular institution um and feeling like they must be dumb they must be lazy, they must be these things. But if we put them running an expedition, we'd have the opposite. We'd be like, I don't like that guy.

He's really good at sitting down and doing math. He is not helpful when I need to build a fire. So we need all kinds, I guess my point. Wow, that's fantastic. That's way more than I thought it was just a much simpler thing, but what you described about neurodivergency is added to my knowledge list. So thank you for that. My pile of great ideas has increased today.

Do you realize you're probably neurodivergial? Oh, yeah. Okay. I mean, that was just, when we were young, they just said I was weird. But yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. I've thought about this at various times because I think if you were a kid now and you had different parents.

Right. I think our parents, I mean, dad was clearly neurodiversion. I mean, he had, he was left-handed, which at the time he was beat for, he had probably dyspraxia and dyslexia. He could build a car. from scratch when he was 14. Like, that's not normal. Yeah. And then the school had zero idea what to do with that, right?

Right. And then your era was sort of the beginning of medicating kids with ADHD and some other stuff. Sure, sure. I think mom and dad just were like, no, he's creative. No, he's creative and weird. He's fine. Creative is a good word, I think, versus in maybe a different family might have been different, right? But I think about you now with the wrong parents.

And I think, oh, man, you'd have a couple things. Yeah, no, that's, Carter would be screwed. Yeah. If she had parents that, she had parents that did not jive with her particular divergent paths of the way she thinks and the way she's, she is. They, she would have rebelled so hard. A lot of budding heads. Yeah.

Yeah, a lot of budding heads. A lot of, and the thing that I see is that I, I, sometimes when I'm with a client, I might be the first person in their entire life that, shows them or talks to them about how their brain is like a Ferrari, right? Yeah. They've only thought of it as the worst. And, you know, if you don't know how to work with a Ferrari brain, it's going to crash. And you have these sort of self, really negative self-talk often around it.

And that comes from, you know, the parental model or the school model, the teachers who don't get it and don't understand. You know, all of those various things can can occur. And so in adulthood, it's where, and that's why I always like with any of the No Better You classes is there will be, there will always be a week or a section on understanding where you got your understanding of yourself. Right. Because it is very worth questioning. Right. It's very worth questioning that those cute people who tried their best to help you might have done you a disservice and that the voices in your head came from a place maybe even for good intentioned. means that you talk to yourself

like you are a terrible person when you are absolutely not. Your brain just works a little different and you need to know how to you need to know it and that's important. And this ties really well to time management because turns out neurodivergency also means that you

perceive time differently, maybe wholly differently than the guy's sitting next to you. You never know. Yeah. Well, this is good. This is good stuff. I hope that while you're still down in weird parts of Utah, that you're having a great time. And then when you get up here, we're going to have even a better time tomorrow. Everyone's going to be hanging out, barbecuing at my sisters, the other sister.

We got a pool. We got the kids. We get the stuff. It's going to be great. Kim's making tacos. Some kind of taco bar type idea. So everyone will get to choose all the stuff they want. Nice.

It's a best way to do it. Yeah, it's going to be great. All the babies. It's going to be so good. They get the poo in their diaper. If they're in the pool, who cares? you know let them run let them go just okay you guys ready for the grossest story real quick of course so we're in this beautiful cabin surrounded by all the beauty and they have this very

fun hot tub that has this like mechanized cover that rises up and then is the roof over the hot tub so you're like oh good no animals are pooping in here whatever anyway um while in the fiery furnace we had to help alley quite a bit she needed a lot of assistance and so I was doing some weird maneuvers, and I slipped and hit my arm and scratched it, and then I scratched both elbows. So I have got a couple little scabbies, you know? You guys like that word scabby? Love scabbies. Sure. So, Mom would say jobbies for when you had to go number two. Jobbies, but mine are scabbies. Yeah. Anyway, so we're in this hot tub looking at this, just these gorgeous views, and it's rained a little, it was beautiful. I get out, I take a nap,

I wake up. I cannot move my elbow. And I'm like, what is? is happening and I if there's a doctor listening maybe you could text me but I my elbow is a hundred percent like swollen and I think I have like an infection from the hot tub they got in yeah and I'm reading about it's like bursitis and it's like sepsis bursitis is what I'm trying to avoid I am like it's so you got the we call that the Duke's disease you got a little John Wayne in you there Dude. Sorry, Pilgrim,

Charm's going to have to get cut off. I don't, I don't shower before my hot tubs. I don't know why that's the voice. I know. This thing had so many chemicals in it. I thought there's no way that anything's alive in here.

Everyone else is fine. I probably just had a good mix. But, you know, here I am with this puffy elbow and anyone touches me. I need to kill them. It's like, oh, geez.

What are you going to do? You're going to lance it? You're going to, you know? No, I'm icing it and taking ibuprofen. So any doctors, is that a good idea? And then, If it gets worse or if I have a fever, I mean, but I can't get over. You know that?

Like, you should never get in a hot time because it's just human soup. What have we done? And now I'm like, I can never get again. I think about this every time I get in one and then I still get in one. It's like, what are you doing? I don't know why we do that. Can I recommend not with a scratch on an elbow? Dang it.

No open sores. We have a. I was stabbed. I thought I was fine. Dr. Tolbert, of course, listener of the show. He will probably answer this. So when I see you again, I'll let you know if you've got sepsis. It might be hard to tell remotely, but we'll see.

I hope that's nothing and goes away. That's what I really hope. So tomorrow, all I'm saying is I'm holding the babies with one arm. Just you don't wonder why I look the way I do. It wasn't any snakes or anything, right? No, you don't have to pull the other. No, and I kept thinking, come on, that can't be just a hot tub and a nap that did this. And it turns out.

It's all it takes. Sure enough, it's all it takes. My keyboard cleaner had it mold in it. If that can happen, anything can happen. Right? I know, exactly. Exactly. It's freaking gross. Well, Wendy, it's a pleasure, as dad would say, and we look forward to hearing you next week. I guess she'll be home and normal next week, right?

I know. I will be not exhausted. It'll be fun. Weird. Go check out Nobetteru.com, everybody. It's No, that's K-N-O-W, better, and then the letter you.com. And check out the site, get ready for new stuff. It's always popping. Wendy, have a fantastic day until I see you. Yeah, thanks guys. Bye now. See you.

all righty all right that was great time management in a bottle that's right time master you look for it this fall take it that's right worth it worth it so you hear it right here from brian he's he did it he tried it he liked it hey i got a text for you this just says this for the record toots mclaren hates the ikea shopping carts uncontrollable hate them they are they do take like the the first couple minutes you've got them you're like you know veering into things and a little out of control. But once you master them, man, I think they're, I like him better than regular grocery store shopping carts for their maneuverability. I do too, because you can get one of those little tight little 400 square foot fake rooms

and you're like, oh, shoot, I need to go that way. And there's a guy here. And these things actually have a turning radius of, they almost rotate, right? They do. They totally do. You don't need a five point turn to get out of them. Yeah, I like those a lot. I'm with Brian.

So sorry, Toots. Good luck to you, though. We get some quick stuff to remind you of today. Coverville at, do you say one? What'd you say? Noon. Back to noon. Okay.
