The morning stream is here and it is Monday, July 14th, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Yes. Hello. What a special week we're walking into, Scott. It sure is. It's a week full of regret and bad choices by certain parents in the world. No, it is my birthday this week. The Thursday will be my birthday. Thursday, yeah. So get those. Oh, is there going to be a special therapy Thursday for Scott's impending? Oh, my gosh. Bending, like, dread.

This could be a good thing for Wendy to think on. Maybe I'll pass her a note and just say, hey, just remind your Thursday is my birthday. If you want, you can come in here and really ruin my day by, you know, making it all about me and my misfunctions, dysfunction. There you go. Yeah. It's fine with me.

I don't care. I'm not doing anything Thursday. I think it might help you, actually. It might. I'm just not going to do Jack on Thursday. Really, honestly, there's not a lot going on. We're doing shows. I'm not, nothing's being canceled.

I don't know what family has. has planned. If they have nothing planned, it's fine with me. I'm not a big, like, do everything for my birthday guy. I don't care. I'd much rather do things for their birthday than have them do it for mine. So I don't let I don't, I'm not a giant, like, let's go, it's my birthday. I don't care that much about my own birthday. But I'm sure it'll be nice. People always say nice things, send nice things. There's always some cool letter in the mail from somebody, whatever. We just, my mom's birthday was, uh, what day was that? Sunday. We went by yesterday. And, uh, you know, dealt with her and the giant shield.

Whole family thing. The giant shield known as John. He was there. He's like a huge metallic monster shield in front of us. But it was fine. There were neighbors there. There was a guy there that had a bunch of chickens. Not with him. But he owns chickens.

So that was fun. And it was really hot. So had a great time. Happy birthday Mom, 87. Where does he keep the chickens? He's got a farm. So the guy, two streets over. I guess they're close to my mom. are always there bringing her stuff and whatever it's this older couple but they've got a big chicken farm there and it happens to be a part of they live in the city called orum it's part of orum that has no regulations on that yeah which usually the regulations are not on the chickens but on

roosters you're not allowed to have roosters because they're a noise nuisance oh sure yeah but they can they are they're not wrong yeah so they get to have roosters you know they we get to have eggs occasionally it all works out for everybody but uh it was nice and there was this young couple there um the c what's a cna care cn a uh shit you should your wife probably knows this more than me tina knows this would would know it in a split second um care nurse a whole authority uh certified nursing assistant there you go yeah nurse nurse right there you got nurse nurse right yeah this girl named jules she's as tall as me um which is a little intimidating. She's 23 or something, very young, just a nicest human being. I've never met a

nicer person. She's very, very nice. He comes in there and does all the stuff from my mom. And she's got this boyfriend from Texas who was with her yesterday. And I'm just here to tell you, Brian, I'm not a guy who looks at other dude's eyes and swoons or is impressed by what he sees. But this kid had the most, what do I have that's like this blue? I don't have anything that blue here. Really? The bluest eyes. striking blue oh my gosh it was like it was overwhelming and you couldn't not look in his eyes you just had to gaze into him you know i swoon over killian murphy's eyes i think he's got some you know dreamy pools of blue yeah blue sea water floating in his ocular cavities sure good looking

irish man out there doing getting stuff done but yeah he was uh that was that was a little bit weird because i think i was freaking him out because i kept going dude where did you get these he's like well i was born of them i'm like all right that's cool yeah maybe he's born with it. Maybe it's mannballeen. Anyway, it's good to see you all. Glad you're all here. We got a lot to get through. Saw Superman, the Superman. Superman. And Brian talked about it on Friday. So those not patrons have not heard his take. We basically agree. We both really like this movie a lot. Loved it. Yeah. Loved it. It was great. It's the, it's both the Superman that we want and the

Superman we deserve. That's right. And the one we got, which worked out real well. And the one we got. I really, I'm, I'm, I At some point, it's funny because I don't want to give anything away, but I, or I'm not going to, but I had a prediction for one of the stingers that didn't come true. So me telling what my prediction for the stinger was wouldn't really be a spoiler, but it would be kind of a spoiler because of one of the characters in the film. So later on, did I tell you, I know I told you about my very, very tiny little complainty, beefy thing that I had with the movie. teeny's tiniest little... And we had a little back and forth that Donaway about it because he also saw it.

So there's a little groupy text in there. And I agreed with you. It's so weird because I even knew that this was a possibility because they've done this in the comics and on the Smallville show was notable for this. Yeah.

This very same concept. So it's considered at least canon in some of the runs. For sure. Yeah. Even if you don't follow Smallville as canon or treat Smallville's canon. Yeah.

But it really... Obviously, the comics are canned. But it's still hard to take, you know? Even when you know it, it's like... Even knowing that it came from comics, I still don't have to like it. Yeah. Yeah, it's just kind of a bad, it was a bad feeling, but it also had a good... It had a good point to what you do with those feelings.

It absolutely did. And the way your explanation in chat, I think, was, or in DMs was like, yep, that is the, that is the side benefit from this or the right way it happens. Yeah, but I get why people. are that's a point of contention are other people complaining about i've seen it here and there yeah not not like it's not like outrage or anything it's just like no i mean it's it's hard to because everything else about the movie and even that is is is not it's not so horrible it's not um what is uh it's not julia roberts uh being mistaken for julia rober no no it's not Tess Ocean being mistaken for Julia Roberts. No, 100% not that. No. Yeah. That's egregious and

unforgivable. Exactly. Exactly. It's not even on the same scale as that. I agree. So when you, if you go see it out there, just go in, you know, wipe your expectations, expect some, you know, if you've seen the trailers, you know, the tone is a lot different and you'll definitely get a different tone than you're used to. And I just thought it had a lot of heart and soul. and as a reboot point for the DCU, I think it's just a really optimistic move forward, and I'm stoked. So, bring it on.

I'm kind of with you with this tone. I'm excited to see, there's things that I'm very excited to see. Other, you know, other properties that involve these characters, but also how he does things that are more serious with a darker tone. I'm curious how he's going to do that. Yeah, how some of that gets crossed over is a bit. big question you know yes right right right i mean obviously you know the stuff he's done so far

suicide squad and peacemaker and stuff like that you know that that fits in this in this world that he's created with superman yeah and it's definitely canon because they did some stuff in this movie to sort of show you that it was that it was all in the same universe but also the um so so so matt reeves is still making this batman too it's a much darker film obviously and matt reeves is a much darker filmmaker so the question is is is is Robert Pattinson's Batman, the dark Batman, the right fit for a future team up, JLA, some of whatever in the future. And the question is probably, probably yes, but it's going to be complicated. I don't think they're going to do, I don't think we get separate that. I mean,

I don't know. I don't know what they're going to do. I think we, I think we could. I think there's a, there's a, I think tonally, I think tonally it's more likely that they do keep those things separate but maybe not i mean i could see them because the character can still be dark and broody right the character still has to be i mean it's batman he has to be dark and broody yeah and matt reeves take on it i think is very very good and it's hard for me to say no that doesn't fit in this world because it's metropolis and gotham it's two different places and and um and the two of them can be in the same world but not necessarily in the same tone.

Yeah. Yeah. And part of the great thing about Batman and Superman comics when they're together in any form is that contrast. So it just is going to take a deft hand if that's what they decide to do. If they decide to keep them as separate, this Batman thing is its own little place and it does its own little thing. Fine. That's fine. Yeah.

Yeah. I just know that, you know, James Gunn has a way of almost, there's a scene. I think you brought it up before and I won't we are here to spoil nothing I want people to enjoy this raw but there's a scene in there that is very very James Gunn

yes and it is so great and so perfect that it has a way of upstaging so much of the rest of the film and I'm not saying it but this is not a negative toward the movie at all

of course yeah but it does have this way of going holy shit could you just do this for two hours because this is amazing and he's so great when he combines music with action James Gunn, absolutely knows.

Like, it is a James Gunn thing, and I'm never going to get tired of it. He can put that, he can put that in every single movie he does, and I won't complain. And it's one of, it's the reason that Guardians 2 has pushed over the edge for me over Guardians 1. I love them both, but, and the third one as well, but there's a thing in Guardians 2 just because of the way it's used that I like just puts it right over. Yeah, yeah, I agree. I don't think, like, for example, I don't think Superman, I don't give it as high a thumbs up without that scene. I agree, yeah. It's so good.

Yeah, exactly. And the character, oh my gosh. Anyway, it's great. I think everybody should go see it. It's freaking fantastic. And I wanted to give a shout out to KT Data, Rose Kitty, Hootie 42, and Katsumi, who all showed up for our hangout. We got to see it at the only regal theater in Utah, which was kind of fun. Cool.

Just happens to be up the road from. from KT Data. It's great theater. I wish we had more of these. And their deal, their deal, it's all around each other? We did. So, well, we thought we did. We thought we were all in the same row, but somehow I ended up one row ahead of everybody. But it worked out because we also shared popcorn. So Kevin had come over and dump a bunch into a thing. That's awesome. It was great. Very nice seats. Tons of leg room. Like, it was really nice in there. I wish there was one nearest because their monthly membership deal might have them all beat. I mean, maybe not where you're going but as far as like the amc's and the cinemarks and all that yeah this one is only 20 something

something four maybe dollars a month and it's unlimited films yeah as many as you want no three movies a month or one bonus movie no that just as much as you want to watch all months it's alma is one a day is the is the maximum that would work for me though yeah I don't need to see two I don't need to see more than one a day no like this one to let you it would the only thing it won't let you do is overlap time so you can't do oh sure which why would you anyway right exactly like i only want to see the the second two-thirds of every every film yeah so if we honestly if we had a if we had a alamo draft house here it's 100% what we do we do that yeah and alamo's the same price 20 a month and it's um uh that's funny how amc like has all these other

things they claim are perks so theirs is limited four week which a couple people have mentioned, TV's Travis and Dr. Calhoun. And one of their other perks, I think you get a, you get free upgrades on popcorn and soda. So if you get a medium, you're automatically upgraded to a large. Oh, I like that. The rest of them are usually percentages off or something. Yeah. 20% off concessions or something.

Which is good. And then they also tout free Wi-Fi. It's like, you're just basically encouraging people to pull out their phones by doing that. Yeah, I assume. I assume they encourage you to do it like pre-movies and stuff like that? Or do they just say, hey, free Wi-Fi at the theater. They just say free Wi-Fi at the theater for, yeah. No, that's effed.

That's effed up. It is effed. Exactly. They don't say it in a way that's like, now only do it before and after your film. Don't do it during. I can't support that. I'm not paying for that. No.

People to use their phones. Ooh, free perk. F that. We're supposed to be watching this damn movie. Oh, A-list. Is it A-list? Is that what it's called? AMC's A-list.

Yeah. They all have dumb names for their stuff, although the Regal one was Regal Premium, I think. Very fancy sounding. Premium. Regal Plus. Anyway, we had a great time. We'll see those same faces plus a whole bunch more at Fantastic Four in just a couple of weeks. So if you're still interested in going to that, you can check out what seats are still available at our theater over on our Discord.

Frogpants.com slash Discord. We'll see everybody about Hootie 42 has a trip to do. so we are all expecting a hooty-sized hole that day. Exactly. Yeah, it's right where Galactus landed. Boom. Left a big hooty-sized hole. And my wife's about to kill me.

All I can do around this house every five minutes. I've got a problem, Brian. I walk around the house and go, I herald his beginning. I herald your end. Your planet has been marked for death. I love it. I can't stop saying it.

Yeah. And I like how she does it almost as a question. I herald his beginning. She takes it way up here. Yeah. And I do that where it's like the dog will walk in and I'll go, I herald your beginning. And my wife's like, if you do that much more,

I'm going to have to leave. You're going to have to get out of this marriage finally after 33 years. Start adding the rest of the Ruth stuff from Ozark in with the rest of that. So don't forget to grab some meth out of the fish and tackle. box. That's right. A her in the bottom. I Harold Galactus. I love

that it's the same woman. She's I love her, dude. She's great. I can't wait for weapons. She's in that. Oh, I know. Barbarian director guy thing coming. And you know what's funny? I'll bet weapons has nothing to do with the movie. Just like Barbarian was the street

they were on. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be like, I don't know. I know. I'm trying to think of what weapons could mean if it doesn't mean weapons. Yeah. Wild though. I love it. All right. Anyway, so that's coming up. We got all kinds of fun stuff, but that was rad. Go see Superman, you guys. It's

a bright new future. Go see it. Absolutely. For the DCU. Oh, one other thing. Yeah. I think it's safe to say new standard for CG dog. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's so good that you do not get distracted by it. You do not think about the rough edges.

It is beautiful. studios killed it in this movie this was a combo uh effects combo of a wedda team and iLM and it's some of the best superhero movie action scene cg combo things i've ever seen yeah yeah i think so too doesn't feel like like you know you're you see them now further away off in the distance and it's like weird body movements that know that physics would not allow yeah really really good and that dog killed it crypto's great crypto there's just the personality that they inject into that dog and we got a taste of that in the first trailer when or the early trailer when he's pouncing all over Superman yeah um I love all of it this is the only time you're

ever going to hear me say I love crypto yeah the only time it's the only time I remember I hate it in the comics I don't hate it but I'm not I meant I was talking more about oh I crypto coin yeah no good point I kind of hate that too but in the comics I'm not that big of a fan of like oh it's a dog companion it doesn't in comics you can't really express it but in live action like this in the right hands man it is awesome and the energy of that dog is great they it's it's a model to after james gun's dog where they did all the mocap from it that's why it's a that's why it's a harrier breed than because the comics he's more like a healer like a right right not a terrier like this crypto right which i just think it was great i loved him yeah so more of that please um all right

And my favorite, oh, by the way, my favorite, no, that'll be a spoiler, I won't say it. Never mind. There's some cool stuff toward the end of the movie, that's all I'll say. Oh, message it to me, because I'm curious. Yeah, I'll tell you about it. Brian, we'll get some quick, oh, you went to the Renaissance Festival. How'd that go? I did.

It was such a good time. Denver has one of the ten biggest Renaissance festivals in the country. I mean, Texas's is huge, and Arizona's is huge. But we've got 60 acres here of Renaissance Festival, not counting the other. 250 acres of parking, which is well-needed. We went, we took the kids and made a day of it. It really is, ours is in the mountains. It's in Larkspur, Colorado, so it's about an hour south of Denver,

which because it's in the mountains means lots of trees, lots of shade. It was already not a very hot day, so that helped tremendously overcast. and nice and cool but also just being in the mountains you get it's cooler than if it would be like in the city in Denver the um the hills uh also mean that you're walking a lot and you're walking uphill and down hill and stuff like that we waited for about 40 minutes for massive turkey legs because they were there was a long line plus there was a lot of grilling and uh or you know basically every time the line stopped it was because they're putting more, you know, they finally had room to put more on the grill on their making and

the stuff. And, well, like, hey, take as much time as you need to cook them. I don't need to bite into a turkey leg that's raw in the middle. Thank you very much. Yeah, I don't want to. Yes, please cook your turkey legs, dude. Please cook your turkey legs. I don't know where they find these massive, the turkey legs under the size of my head.

If they feel genetically modified to me, I don't know what they're doing. They really do. And I was thinking on the way in, what do they do with the rest of the turkey? but the other thing you could have gotten from that same vendor was turkey sausage on a stick. And so it's like, oh, okay, so they chop up the rest of the meat and turn it into sausage, which is great. Yeah, I wouldn't turn that down. Look at these right here cooking. I know, yeah, those are great.

And sometimes that skin near the bottom gets a little leathery, can't bite through it. And, of course, we all know that the turkey legs, once you get to a certain level, are cartilage pin cushions, basically. Oh, for sure. dude you've got those those you know not quite bone not quite food uh things that you've got to somehow deal with and pull out yeah they got real foreskin on these things man you really do they do look like this is from a breast yeah freaking gross but they are lar i just did a quick check they're just large by nature they're they're the biggest uh haunch of the birds we generally eat so easily the um t and i both uh you know we had a light breakfast and

And we're like, well, let's save, you know, we won't eat anything until we get down there. Lunch will be a little bit late. The kids got to our house a little bit late, and then there was a lot of traffic going down there. There was one point that we were waiting in a very slow-moving line for about 30 minutes, which sucked. Yeah, that does suck. So we ended up eating lunch at three. By that time, we were famished, and a turkey leg each basically was our last meal of the day. like we ate a turkey leg and it was our lunch and it was our dinner we had we shared a couple

like um a funnel cakes or something later on that were really good but yeah but uh it was that'll last year that's enough protein for a couple of days right there it really is yeah i mean meat sweats and everything but um yeah but uh anyway it was they were they were freaking excellent and uh shopping there's so many vendors there it's like walking into orgar did i already say that it is it's like walking into an MMO City, because you have this vendor that only sells boots, this vendor that only sells leather gotlets. It's like, this is just like Orgamar.

I have to go to eight different places to get a uniform. Is it like farmers markets where people kind of travel around to different ones and do their booth there? I think, I think so. I think they're probably vendors. Now, these buildings are permanent, and I was wondering what they do in the offseason, because these are very, very specifically renaissance. looking buildings right so um they're aiming for a very specific aesthetic it's not like

fantasy aesthetic so it's not like you can and it's not like you can say all right well in the you know in in in uh september we're going to have a some other convention there or something like that it is it is just basically it is earmarked for this stuff sure and only used for eight weeks out of the year and everyone looks like this guy everyone looks like that guy yeah the man the Cosplay to non-cosplay ratio was more like, it was probably like eight to one. Eight cosplay people to one non-cosplay person. Did you go? Did you robe up or?

No, we were the non-consplay people. Gotcha. Okay. They don't care if you come like that, right? Like, they don't care. And nobody is like, oh, man, maybe dress up next time. Because basically you go there and it's like, oh, I could get a cloak here and that could be the start of my, my costume for next year.

or a leather vest or this or that and no I didn't I didn't now this weekend was specifically pirate weekend and apparently that makes it one of the busiest weekends because it was I mean obviously I talked about how long the line was for turkey legs so it was all it was all pirates and wenches and which means every woman had to have their boobs pushed way up to their neck yeah and right up there Some of them collecting food as they're walking and eating at the same time. Like it's a little turkey tray shelf. A little turkey tray shelf thing, yes. So not that I was looking, but come on. I mean, it's hard not to, yeah, the whole point of that is for you to look, I think. It's the idea. Then yesterday, a little quick note, we did the J.G. Valentine Memorial Game Day.

We played some more ravine. That game is so freaking great. we played Marvel Munchkin Which I haven't played Munchkin in years I'd forgotten about How fun that thing is

I didn't know they did a crossover with that That's great Yeah yeah It's really well done We played some flux Some Firefly flux Because J.J loved Firefly

And so he had the Firefly And so he had the Firefly flux Game Yeah it was a great time Oh we played something That Ice Worm brought So Mike Boyd Iceworm came

Oh great and he brought a game called da-da-da-da which is basically a game where you make your own language based on the cards in front of you and you can only speak in that gibberish language for the entirety of the game you can't say um all right so whose turn is it you have to go um fu obo foo obo you fobo vo voo oh my gosh it's like like uh sims simlish kind of thing kind of yeah exactly wow Wait, hold on. So you're saying, obviously, what's in front of you and the cards has meaning to you. Yes, you have to, as a team, as a group, you assign meaning to those words so that you can play other cards that then, you know, once you've established what these sounds mean, you have these additional graphic art cards, illustrations that you have to put in a place on the table in front of you among these cards to say, well, this is. If that's this kind of thing and this is a body part, then this has to be in the middle.

So that's really a foo erg. But, of course, you have to do all that in using the gibberish. That's really great, though. Yeah. This would be a great Nurtacular game. Oh, my God. We should bring that to Nurtacular. Do you see, if you're listening, put that on your list there, buddy.

For sure. I'm going to do that. I'm going to have a good time. I kind of want to go to one of these eventually. they have them here too and I just never you know what it is usually in the heat of the summer and it just sounds miserable to me but it sounds like you guys had a good time despite the heat well that was the yeah the renaissance festival is not where we played the game that was the um the j j valentine game day at the morse house oh right you were inside for that yeah for that one we're inside yeah but for the renaissance festival though specifically yeah you should you would have a great time come out to the one here in colorado and and uh make a weekend of it bobby the name of the game again is dodd da, da, da, just like the trio song. Da, do, do, do, do, do. Exactly.

Well, that's fantastic. We got a quick text from Harry Teets. I have a theory. This is not his real name. We'll get to that theory in a minute. Yeah, yeah. He says, Scott, we need to have a talk about your background. He means all this.

Yeah. He says, so I assume he's a viewer. He may be here live. I don't know if this hairy teats is listening right now. I don't know. Says, if I have to look at R2 or that giant cartoon duckhead for one more minute, I might not make it. love the show though here so he's referring to the cartoon duckhead the r2 units back there

there it is back there a little surprised he didn't bring up the giant yeah the stormtrooper because you see the stormtrooper no matter what position you're in so yeah it's like a 12 year old back there the height of it how come he doesn't complain about my um thanos glove or my spider man mask or my it's a great question i mean here's the point here's what i think though this next text is the same guy i think yeah he says he's dusty roads but i I'm starting to wonder if Dusty Rhodes... I don't think he's a member of Zizi Top at all. No.

And you guys can... Oh, it's Dusty Bottoms. Yeah, that's right. Dusty Rhodes was Three Amigos. Is that right? Three Amigos. Yeah. Dusty Bottoms...

Dusty Bottoms was three Amigos. Dusty Roads is Zizi Top. Zizi. And Frank Beard's the drummer with no beard. Correct. Oh, wrestler. Dusty... So there's Gibbons, there's Beard, and who's the other Zizi Topper?

I can't remember. scone, dipperhead, Jr. I have no idea. The next one comes from Dusty Roads, who says, please ask Brian to clean his microphone and stand. Maybe just pick up Anara and rub her all over the offending equipment. Thanks, love the show. I think this is the same guy.

I'm telling you right now. And you know what? I'm sorry. You're right. I'm very bad at this. So actually having a little reminder every once in a while, I suck at dusting. I do, too. I'm really bad at it.

You guys, if you could see, if I turn on the lights back here, everything's got a thin layer on it. I know. And we collect a lot of shit, right? So there's a ton of shit all around the house that, you know, little collectibles and all sorts of that crap. Well, thanks to Harry Teets and Dusty Roads, if they're not the same person. I think they're the same tone. I might even be free hotel room slash ST Monkey. Yeah. And the thing when they send these in that you don't have to verify that you're either. of these people so you know yeah i think we're i think they're taking the piss as the british say i know yes but no that is a good i you know what i need i need that done so uh dusty hill by the way is the guy from zizi oh dusty hill gosh dang it dusty hill billy gibbons frank beard that's right okay

now it all makes sense to me i knew that but forgot uh hey everybody guess what now's your time this is your place we're going to play a game here it comes With us, we have one Brian Dunaway. Hello, Brian. How are you? Oh, I Scott and Brian is Dusty Rhodes. We know. The American Dream.

We know. My God, you're over here murdering me. Listen, we know you're like a freaky wrestler man. We know about you. Freaky wrestler man. Yeah. You don't know that. I wear a mask.

It's real to me, damn. It's real to me. Yeah, you like the real to me guy? That's, you would be that guy? Okay. That's right. Well, good. I'm glad you're here regardless.

Let me tell you something right now. Yeah. that athletics is real all right doesn't matter if you believe the you know the outcome is rigged oh it's true those dudes are serious athletes there's no question absolutely yeah i never questioned that what i questioned was them trying to convince the 2020 guy they slapped that it was somehow real beyond that the storylines were right right right right right right like i'm i was a kid and i knew that was bullshit i think that i think that's what put me off wrestling i think that might have been why i never Well, most of us knew that it was just, you know, theater.

Yeah, well, it is what it is. Some of us didn't. No. Some of us were full on. Like you. Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, it's time to play a game. We're going to play a game. Brian Dunaway, you're one of the contestants. So am I. And Brian I'm here is going to explain the whole damn thing so that we know what's going on. Well covered. Uh, my welcome to the morning half-ass is a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving you to the answers. I'm going to give Scott and Brian a category and six possible answers, three of which are correct. and three, like Superman 4, are incorrect. See, how I did that again for you, Brian? Depending on how confident you feel with the category,

you could provide one, two, or three guesses. But if any of those guesses are wrong, you get zero points for that round. One right gets you a point. Two right gets you three points. Three right gets you five points. The player with the most points at three rounds. Well, then you better get three, correct, if you do.

My instructions are clear on how you get that. Play with the most points after three rounds win the prize for their contestant. Here are our contestants that you're playing for, playing for Joel and Jake. Scott, you're playing for Joel in Dayton, Ohio. Oh, nice. I like Ohio. Yeah. Good people out there.

Good people out there. Exactly. Brian, you're playing for Jake Bergeron and Maine. Oh, Bergeron. Nice. I keep saying we don't hear enough from Maine, but here we are again with another Maine. Here we are hearing from Maine. Yeah. That's great. I love Maine. All right. If you guys are ready.

Yeah. Let's get to our first category. Hold on a second. I look forward. to putting Scott's head into the ring floor? That's right, brother. Listen, brother. All right. Question number one, it is sports related, just not those sports.

Countries that hosted both the summer and winter Olympics. So countries that had both the summer and winter Olympics in there? I'm noting the easy one is not here, the United States, which has definitely done that. But I like where your head's out here. We had Atlanta and Lake Placid and Los Angeles. All right, your choices are. France, Canada, Greece, Austria, Japan, and Finland. Canada.

Canada. I always thought that was Canada until I watched the movie. I'm like, oh, they're not talking about Canada. Yeah. Oh, I'm torn on this one. I know one for sure. I know one I'm pretty sure about how's that? I'm going to just two.

I'm not going to get the five. I don't. I'm not going to get the five. I don't trust it. Well, you waffled back and forth. I like watching where your, your selections go and unselect and reselect. In this case, you both locked on two, and you both locked on the same two. France and Japan, and that is, those are both absolutely correct. Nice. Yeah. I was trying to think of places that would have really high points. Oh, I should have stayed with Canada. Why? I wasn't sure about Canada being able to do the summer. I know. That's where I was at. I kept thinking there's no you got mountains you know you got high peaks yeah the winter stuff yeah yeah I'm about which one was the summer what was that Calgary Greece Greece was summer only oh we're in Canada yeah yeah the summer um uh Toronto Toronto Toronto Olympics okay Montreal Montreal was the summer

okay that may as well be the French 19 oh 1976 Montreal right of course oh that's a big one yeah that was a big stuff went down there yeah stuff did go yeah exactly there was A couple movies made about that, as a matter of fact. All right, let's get to question number two. Girls' names. How well do you know your girls' names? Girls' names. Which of these were among the ten most popular girls' names of the 19...

I'm sorry, that should be 1990s, not 1900s. Oh, that's much easier. Oh, Jesus. I don't know. That might be even harder. That's a typo. So 10 most popular... The popular girls' names of the 1990s, your choices are

Yanni, Elizabeth, Lisa, Emily, Ashley, and Madison. Did you say Yonnie? Yeah, but he's kidding. Lauren. It may as well be Mountain. Lauren and Yanni sound the same. What was the Mountain one? Green Needle and something Mountain, or?

The 1990s. I can't remember. I can't remember. Green needle. It was like a smash point. or something like that. Yeah, it was another whole other green needle. Yeah.

So there are two separate things, though. Brainstorm. Brainstorm. That's it. Oh, that's right. It was Laurel. Laurel and Yanni, not Lauren. That's right.

I liked your joke. I got it. Yes, you got my joke. I may be thinking, I may be thinking wrong because I'm trying to think of people that I knew in the 90s, but they already existed. So they would have been named probably in the 80s or the 70s. And now I'm questioning everything that I chose. You should. I know.

I'm watching your selections and all right. Because they were different because one was like post that time and then was pre. And so, okay, I feel a little more stronger about those. Okay. More strong. The younger people I knew were named this. How about that? Okay.

Fair enough. Yeah, the 1990s, sure. All right. Well, you guys both chose two again. You both locked in on two. And you overlapped on one. And the tadpole is in a lot of. of agreement with you, by the way.

You both lucked in on Madison. Yeah. Yeah. Madison. I never heard that name before the 90s. Number 29 in the 1990s. It rose to number three in 2003, but that's too late for this thing. The real answers were Emily, Ashley, and Elizabeth.

Yeah, Lauren is number 13 and Lisa all the way down at number 71. I knew so many Listas during the 90s, and I was like, wait a minute, these would have been people born. In the 70s and 60s, yeah. Yeah, we named my daughter's middle name is Elizabeth, so we got close. Yeah, you did. Damn it. All right. I feel okay about that one.

That was a hard one. You're still tied with three points each. Let's get to question number three. Scooby-Doo monsters, which of these are actual monsters from actual Scooby-Doo? Your choices are, scarecrow, biker, cheese monster, space ape, Viking Manichie. Headless Betsy Ross and Robot Farrow. I love her flag. These are really good because it's all.

These are all amazing, by the way. Yes, absolutely. Can't tell what's fake or not, but I love it. Oh, I can't either. Oh, I'm scared now. Cheese Monster. Holy shit. I feel like we're going to get in trouble on this because we both like old cartoons and we should know this.

Cheese Monster. Yeah. I'm trying to think what, I'm trying to picture stuff that Fred lifted the hood on, you know? Right. Me too. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

So I don't know what it would be. This feels right. What I got away with it, a word for those crazy kids. That feels right, but I'm not sure about the rest. I'm locking in a two. That's hilarious. You guys both at the very same time chose the two that you chose. Oh, really?

The dots came in at the same time for one, and the dots came at the same time for the second one. Oh, boy. That first one that you agreed on is Viking Manikin. Yeah. I think I remember that. Is that a false memory? You probably do remember a Viking mannequin because there was a Viking mannequin.

Right. Yes. Sounds right. I feel pretty sure about that. Yeah, but it ended up being the janitor or some bullshit like that. That's the thing with these. There weren't actual Viking mannequins, but yeah. The other one you remembered was the robot pharaoh.

You both jumped down on that one too. Oh, didn't know. No, I'm sorry. There was not a robot Pharaoh. I shouldn't have done a robot Pharaoh. I should have done a robot Pharaoh. I really wish, I wish Headless Betsy Ross was one of them, but that would have been too alarming for kids.

The other ones were, Cheese Monster and SpaceApe. Oh, what? There's a space ape. There's a space ape. I really felt like space ape was a trick. Yeah. I thought grape or something, you know.

Exactly. And I do kind of remember Cheese Monster, but I wasn't, I thought maybe that was a joke, playing words. Yes, right, right. I mean, you know, there's deep sea diver, radioactive deep sea diver. We're not going to see that one on here. Yeah, yeah. Or a nutcrack.

her ghost guy Here he is He looks like this That's the space ape According to the image search For Scooby-Doo I did Wow That's like that's like some Ben 10 shit there

I mean that's Yeah that's And here's a picture of them all fighting him Hold on Let's see Here we go This is some new Scooby-Doo crap Right here is what this is

It does look like newer Scooby-Doo to me It does yeah But they call that the space ape It's got the same feet Fred's wearing a sweater now Yeah, where's his dicky? The white shirt and his ass cut. That's some bullshit, man.

Well, anyway. Oh, yeah, it's a thing. I guess they even advertised it on Boomerang. Look at that. Oh, wow. What's new Scooby-Doo is the name of this series. Let's do a new Scooby-Doo. Yeah.

Sorry. That's not the real Scooby-Doo. That's some bullshit. That's not my Scooby-Doo. No. I watch some of that. So what happens now? We have to have a tie-breaker.

Yeah, you're in a tie. So that means we're going to our tiebreaker. I'm looking forward to putting you into the turnbuckle. I will let Scott, because it's his birthday week, be the choice of either giving an answer or giving the over- Yeah, let the old man go first. Over or under or the answer, right? Yes, those are your choices. I'm going to make Brian do the pick on the over-under, right?

Like he has to choose. I've got to pick the number. He picks the number. and then I say higher or lower. Yeah, that's what I want to. Okay. All right. Well, so, Brian, you're going to be giving an answer to this.

Sure. Is that your final answer? Five. I guess I'll wait for the, I guess I'll wait for the question. Good idea. The first flight between New York and Los Angeles was in 1911. In hours, how long was the plane airborne? How long did it take to fly from New York to Los Angeles?

on the very first flight in 1911. Is that a straight shot? Not that it matters, but no layovers, I said. It was no layovers. There would be no layovers going to layers. I don't know. I mean, I guess that's the point of it is it's the first. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're going to lay over that. Coast to coast one, yeah. What airport you think are going to lay over that in 1911? That's a good point. We're going to stop in Denver and see that penis horse. That'd be great. Finally, we've built these airports. I'm so glad that there are finally airplanes to land at them.

Yeah, that's perfect. all right what do you think all right what's your what's your answer right i'm trying to think of headwinds uh in a 1911 uh airplane uh uh you know uh when you're trying to avoid a space monkey ape and putting all the math together now and i'm going to go with it it took approximately 11 hours what okay yeah because it right in 1911 11 hours oh i got you yeah i'm trying to decide yeah okay all right good You're going to go lower than 11 hours. I think it's around 8.

Oh, interesting. The actual answer is higher. What? It took 82 hours. What? Because the pilot made, the pilot he made 69 stops before crashing just shy of his goal in Long Beach. Holy shit. So actually it took even longer because he never actually made it.

That's true, yeah. So he did actually make stops, 69. of them, to be exact. 69, dude, nice. Yeah, and took 82 hours for him to fly from New York to L.A. That one's almost a trick question. Almost. It kind of is, I know.

Almost. Because we were making fun of you for your, how many stops did you make? Well, he actually did make a lot of stops. Yeah. Fair, though. You know what? Brian, you deserve that one. You got it, man.

Well done. I almost, like, when I was, like, hesitant, I was almost going to say he did have to make stops, but then it's like, you know what? No, it's fair for both. you if I don't. If I don't say anything, then you get from me. If neither of us know, it's 100% fair. Exactly. Exactly. It's all good. So you win, Brian,

which means other people wins. Let's play this first. Congratulations. Brian, who won in our big party here? Oh, yeah. So congratulations going out too. Jake Bergeron in Maine, you are getting a copy of Epistory Typing Chronicles and Rain World. It's what happens when

seven strangers are put together in a house and there's no umbrellas. Fuck. I don't know about typing chronicles, but Rain World's awesome. It's an all-timer. Very good. Our runner-up won something I personally absolutely love the game. He's about to talk about you. Yeah, the runner-up won a copy of Colt Canyon. It sounds like a Western, so Joe and Dayton, you're getting Colt Canyon. It is. It's like it's retro graphics and stuff, but it feels like an open world Western adventure. It's so good. It reminds me of Zelda in a weird way. Yeah. Like Zelda kind of gameplay? Yeah. It's fantastic. You both want.

one big wins here this week. So I think I'm actually glad of how it turned out. So that's how I deal with my loss, see, as I pretend like it was a win. That's right. Well, it was a win for everybody else. Always think positively, you guys, at home. That's the lesson. That's the big takeaway.

Brian? This is about the jugs of pain. Not really. It's about you leaving. But tomorrow, you and I are doing Play Retro. And Play Retro is an exciting place to be because we're going to do, nobody lives forever. No, wait. What's the title?

Yeah, no one lives forever. That's right. Yeah, it's the operative, colon, no one lives forever, or Nolfe, as people call it online. Yeah, it used to be, it's funny because it sounds like an actual James Bond title. It does sound like that. So I always think I'm saying it wrong, but it's a parody a little bit. It's also kind of takes itself seriously in a bunch of ways. I was going to say, it is a serious, yeah, I mean, it's not a comedy game or a satire. Not really. It's got some, it's got some tongue in the cheek, but not fully, you know? The cheek is not, the cheek is not full tongue.

That makes sense? Gross. like this. It's really good back in the day and I cannot wait to play it. I think it's 25 years old now or something shit like that or maybe it's 20. Yeah, I think around 25 years hard to get to run and

also Disney owns half and DC owns the other or Warner Brothers owns the other half so it's going to be Yeah, so. Those two don't like each other. They don't know and so getting a remaster or getting released in any modern form has been a little tough

Yeah, but but if you can find it. Then you can hire the 18. There's a community project and we're going to tell you how to do it. Yeah, for sure. It is an amazing series. It should have kept going. We should be playing the 8th or 9th version of this game now. I don't know what happened. I know a little of what happened because I've read it. But we're going to talk all about it. One of my favorite games ever on PC and I think consoles got some treatment, didn't they? PS2 got the first one and not the second. That's right. That's what the deal was.

Anyway, well, there you have it. Hey, Brian Dunaway. Look forward to that tomorrow. 4pm Mountain Time on Tuesday. That's our day we record. I would like you to do me one tiny favor, and that is to kiss our butt. Okay. Jeez. Hoy. That's the nice thing about clean feet is it's full duplexing, so we can hear each other fight.

You can cut them off before. Yeah, exactly. I can hear all the bullshit, he says. All right, that is it for that. We're going to take a break. Before we do, Brian, this break is brought to us by somebody. Who is it? Yeah, I love this.

This break is brought to you by Critical Clean Auto Detailing. Hey, Tadpoolers in the Dayton, Ohio area. Does your ride smell like? a fish sandwich or look like it's been through a Mad Max sequel. Let me fix that. I'm Zerick Envy with critical clean auto detailing, mobile detailing, right in your driveway.

You can get interior detail, double vacuum, compressed air, blow out the works. Exterior detail, which includes a full paint decontamination and a three to six months ceramic gloss protection. Do you think you want prices? Yeah, we can say prices. The deals

are really good. They are really good. The interior detail is ridiculously cheap. It is because like all the stuff that you're getting clean from starts at $2.25 for a sedan, but you get floor seats, cracks, everything vacuumed out. You will not find a single loose French fry in the bottom of your, bottom of your ride. Exterior detail starts at $125 for a sedan. Again, that comes with a full paint decontamination and three to six month ceramic gloss protection. Zerick says I usually stick to Dayton, but for tadpullers,

I'll drive anywhere from northern Cincinnati to southern. Columbus so pretty much the whole damn state of ohio mentioned tms or send a meme via email facebook or discord for 10% off your first detail that is critical uh clean detail at gmail com that's critical clean detail at gmail dot com find them on facebook at critical clean auto detailing or discord at vampirate monk pirate underscore i love how different it is from all the other stuff Exactly. That's great. Business, business, pleasure on Discord.

He's a real cool dude. Very happy to help get the word out. I love it when I hear about Tad Poolers doing, like, rad business startups and stuff. Love to help them out if we can. Entrepreneurs, you know, we need more entrepreneurs. Support a local business and talk to Zerick about getting your ride clean. I'd almost drive my car over there to Ohio just to get a clean by Zerick. I would too.

I like Columbus, too. I feel like I would nearly move there if I had a good enough reason. I liked that town. It was cool. All right. We're going to take a break now. When we come back from this break, we'll spend some time with Bobby, who's bringing the big guns on lactose intolerance.

Ooh, love it. We've been talking about that. That's been a topic lately. He's just going to drink, he's going to drink cream and fart on a microphone the whole time. We're going to see it happen. We're going to see lactose intolerance happen live on the show. Yeah, it's going to be great. He's got a new mixer, too.

so that'll help with the audio. Oh, cool. Anyway, all that's coming up after this break that Brian brought with music for it. Yeah. Yes. I did for it to do that. This is a woman whose real name is Gabby Gamburg,

and she lives at 429 South 3. No, I'm kidding. But she goes by the name Daffo, D-A-F-F-O. Way easier to remember. Her brand-new album, debut album, comes out September 26th of the Concord Records. Big thanks to Grandstand Media. for letting me know about this one.

This is fantastic. This is the first single from the song, from the album. It's called Habit. Here is Daffo. It's the side of the water that gets you wet. With the gangle of the water that gets you wet with the gangle of. keys you will swing up in at the thought of forgiving you will forget you have a terrible

habit happy happy it's hard not to feel happy it's hard not to feel hungry for It's not the strain on your eyes that'll make you go blind. It doesn't matter what's forward. You will leave it behind. You have a terrible habit. Happy. Happy. By the size of your head, you must know everything, every small consequence, that knowing everything,

It's new that you must know better, but you don't want to admit that all the pain gives a pleasure, and you just don't want to quit. Happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy. Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy

You're only inside the disc drive at a time. Brian believes that somebody is following him. I do! You're right. We're back. Hey, what's that song again? I need to write it down.

Absolutely. That song again is called Habit, H-A-B-I-T, of course, by the singer Daffo. Her brand new album comes out way out in September. It feels like a long time. in the future. But to tide you over, you've got the song, I'm sorry, the album is called Where the Earth Bends, but you've got the song Habit to make that weight a little bit easier. I mean, sometimes the weight's worth it, you know? Yes. In this case, it is. Everything I've heard from this album, we've played, we've played Daffo before on the show, and she's fantastic. I think we played

Quick Fix, which was the first single from the album. Yeah, very nice indeed. Yeah, very, very good. We have Bobby with us on the line. He is a, he's just a beast of a man. He's just a beast of a man. just look at him. He's so look at that bright, blown out white. So washed out. Yeah, beautiful. It's like nothing I've ever seen. There we go. Oh, now we're dark. Now it looks like

you turn the lights off in the studio. Oh, there we go. No, I know this pain. I've had this camera. I know what this is like. I feel you. I feel you. I feel your pain. That is a roadcaster behind you, isn't it? Yeah, I got this after the Vegas show and getting to, I'd been thinking about a new Tom had and I'd been thinking about this for a while but I'm you know it's it's you you hate to spend a bunch of money on a expensive piece of equipment and then it not be right and so I was like well I'm going to get to play with one at the TMS Vegas live show so let me see how much I like it and I really liked it so I got it and I've loved it it's made everything so much easier big shout out to the roadcaster pro two for podcasters so the pro two is the most recent

of the devices is that the one yeah okay it's the same it's as new as the duo the the pro two just has six inputs instead of four or no four instead of two if you don't if you don't have a need for as many outputs as i do like if you're just doing one or two ins and outs then yeah the roadcaster duo is really what you need it's the same internal everything like you can do all the same the firmware is pretty much the same so how close are these people to a three. You know what I mean? I don't know. That's always a question, right? Do I get one now or do I waste? Yeah, because there's this little bit of me that's like, oh, do I see how things go? Or do I, oh, wait, did you get the pro two then? He got the pro two. Holy shit. Look at that thing. I just,

I just ordered the duo myself today. But there's a little part of me that's like, I could cancel that order and get the pro two. Because the other thing, you know, very, very rarely have Tina come and join me in the studio, but I do want to be able to route audio from soundboard on my iPad. But maybe I don't need it because I've got the pads, right? Maybe I don't need... Yeah, the pads are kind of there for that sort of stuff, right?

Yeah. And they also, aren't the pads, it's there, you can rotate them, so you can have more than just those eight. You can customize the pads and you've got a button down at the bottom that makes it it so you can move to different sets of pads. Here's a thing, Brian. Here's a really good feature that you would really like. You can create a soundboard using a program. on your iPad and this thing allows you to Bluetooth connect to your iPad seamlessly. Like it's very, you can play things from your iPad into the mixer.

So I don't even need, so that'll be in the, that'll be in the duo as well because they're functionally, functionally the same except for the inputs. Inputs, yeah. See, I don't, I don't think I even need more than, I just have two mics in studio. You probably only need the duo unless you're in, I don't know. But see, you do so many, you do so many shows where you've got Kim in the studio. Carter in the studio and you'd almost need to have the ability to have Kim and Carter together on the show. Yeah, but I've only, right now, I only have the one mic, but you're right, I could,

I could expand it. Yeah. Or the two mics, I guess. I like the, I like the ability to be able to be flexible. That's why I went with the big one. Yeah. I could be, I could be painting myself into a corner with, um, with the, the duo instead of the two, but I'm going to, I'm going to just brave it and stick with the duo. Well, worst case is you use it for, We can go, yeah, I want to upgrade and you send it back. Yeah, that's true. Amazon don't care. Amazon, 30 days.

Amazon just throws that shit in a landfill anyway, as my understanding. The last amazing thing about this roadcaster is that it's got, first of all, on one line, it's got an input and an output that acts that you only need one USB connection for. And it already comes with one of them. it already names them the roadcaster chat line so it's already set up for Mix Minus that you can just do it right there on the thing

and not have to like fiddle with a bunch of stuff on your computer it handles it for you and then and then it has a second USBC that you can connect onto the same computer and those three lines that will show up as three separate audio devices on your computer without the

without the need of without the need of like a card or something some other device. The loopback software or whatever. Yep. Just handles it for you. Shit. Why are we doing this for ourselves?

I know. I know it is. It's the best. It's the best mixer I've ever had. And I've had many. So it's not just a flash in the pan. Hey, check us out. We're making a cool thing for podcaster, bro.

And I think what put me off about it for so long and why it took trying out Tom's and seeing that Tom who of course we all trust on tech things seeing that he was using it but what put me off until then was I think all the flashy lights and colors I was like what is this made for babies or something? Yeah it is a little bit of that right

it is candy it does look like Skittles but it's it's really good it's it's really really good all right I'm gonna have to consider this too I do like the smaller form factor of the duo for potentially oh and I saw here's also I saw a video of somebody who did this

you can buy and if you want to do this Scott if you like this idea just tell me and I'll send you the Amazon links to how to do it but I bought a monitor arm and I can just move it out of the way see this oh put them full screen oh sorry here there we go okay so move it again so here it is that's cool around dude and out of the way and you need it because it's got the

it's got the screw holes in the back like the back of a flat screen monitor so you can screw it in to one of them yeah that's rad they're very mac friendly too which is good from brian and i because we both produce on max so there's good yeah and and it hooks up bluetooth to the to my you know lapel road road go yeah see that's a cool feature and sounds like some more other bluetooth stuff with your other devices and whatnot mm-hmm all right well we've sold the world on the roadcaster too roadcaster get with us and we'll get the yeah really why Can't we get them as a sponsor and maybe get some free equipment for the two of them? Yeah, we need to review these, right?

We need to push these to the people is what we need to do. I'm sure this is not going to happen. Bobby, you're here because of science. Oh, I forgot to play your thing. Science. Here, we'll just do that. He's here to talk about some science. And the science in this case is all about that lactose intolerance stuff we've been going back and forth on.

My guess is you have found some information that we thought we knew, but we don't. I'm so glad. Yeah, well, the last time I was here, I said, hey, I'll look into this because I'd never heard of the thing that Brian was talking about. Brian said he had gone to a dairy. And they were all, they were touting the benefits of low processed, low pasteurized or raw milk. Low temperature, not extreme temperature pasteurization, but mid-middle temperature pasteurization or something. Yeah, whatever the phrase is.

Yeah, it's saying that it actually helps with lactose intolerance if you do that. So that's what they claimed So I That's the claim So I looked into it And I was going to talk about What lactose intolerance is And why

I'll spoil it right now Get it, spoil Spoil the milk I love it Spill the milk too while you're here That'd be great Let's do all the metaphors Yeah

I just want to cry over it The The The long and the short of it is That they're wrong That it doesn't have any effect on lactose intolerance. Okay.

But let's talk about why. If I'm a little bit awkward in this, I actually prepared this last week because I forgot whether I wasn't going to be on the show. And then I literally sat there. I know better because Scott's really good at messaging me the day before and saying you good for the show. And he didn't do that.

But I was sitting here on the show at my desk waiting. And then you guys called Stephen. And I was like, oh. Oh, shit. Yeah. Usually I'm, man, when shit happens when people are out of town, it gets so jacked it gets weird and usually i ask so it's this is me saying apologizing for uh for if i am a little russ like rough on the notes because i haven't read them in a while but this is

not me saying you did anything wrong you norm you always check i'm usually pretty i'm usually pretty good about it i have a note every day to check with guests for the next day and i usually have the right ones but sometimes monday especially mondays because it's because it's flip-flop or it's just you stephen you stephen you stephen and sometimes the way it goes it's It's like three of you in a row. Stephen then had a thing. So it's a fourth Bobby in a row. And then, oh, no, Stephen's back.

I guess we're just doing one with him next. Like, it gets kind of complicated. Totally fine. Totally fine. All right. So let's start with lactose intolerance. What is lactose and tolerance? And what is lactose?

Lactose is a sugar that's found in milk. That's really all it is. But our body is not able to process it very easy. The molecule for lactose is pretty big. It can't be easily absorbed into. the lining of our intestines in our stomach and in the places where it would get absorbed and become part of

energy for our body. So we can't absorb lactose. So our bodies have an enzyme called lactase. Enzymes are always named for sugar enzymes are always at least they always end an ace and

they always are named in a way so you can easily know which thing that they... I didn't know that. They all have an ace at the end. yeah enzymes are always ase at the end of okay i didn't know that all right yeah so um lactase breaks down lactose into um two smaller sugars that can be that are smaller and so they can be easily digested and without lactase uh lactose can make you very very sick some people it can it can be so bad for it can be life-threatening but it can make you very very sick and the reason that is

is because it's a it increases or it well what it does is it to be technical about the terms is that it increases osmotic pressure and in your in your in your digestion in your gut yeah and what that means is it makes it so that water wants to come to where the lactose is yeah so it increases a bunch of your your bowel your intestines will small intestines and your bowel will hold on to a lot of water, which is why you get things like diarrhea. Yeah. But also...

Diarrhea. Yeah. Who doesn't? But also, there's a bacteria. Yeah. There's a bacteria that loves lactose. And so it chews it up and then produces a bunch of gassy byproducts, which is where the gas comes from, right?

So it can cause bloating, farting, and diarrhea. Sure. So if you do not have the enzyme lactase, then you can't break down the lactose. And it could be dangerous. All human babies are born with producing a bunch of lactase, but around 80% of around four out of five babies, about 80% of people on Earth stop producing lactase,

or at least as much lactase, when they get to a round. I think like five or six years old. Oh, that early. Wow, okay. My understanding is, though, also there's this, the there's the factor that cow's milk is not the same as mother's milk like you're not you're not a cow so there's going to be differences right or is that there's probably differences in some of the macronutrients and other things like that but they all still in terms of lactose intolerance

they all still contain lactose okay so mom's milk cow's milk goat's milk doesn't matter lactase is needed to break down the lactose yes exactly exactly so um why if i just said like so around 70% of the world's population is lactose intolerant. I don't know if you knew that. Almost everyone is lactose intolerant. Whoa. I say almost everyone, but it's just a large majority, 70%. But there's a scale of tolerance then, is what I'm guessing, right? Well, no, it's, it's, well, sure, there is a scale of tolerance, but the reason you're thinking, that's strange, I don't, 70% of the people that I know are not lactose intolerant. And that's because it's not evenly distributed across the globe.

Around 11,000 years ago, we started domesticating animals in Mesopotamia, around Phoenicia, Syria, Egypt, around that area, right? And what they did to deal with the milk byproduct of the animals that they were domesticating, like goats and cows and everything, is they turned those things into fermented milk products, which do break down the lactose. So yogurt and cheese. And that's why those are such big parts of Mediterranean cuisine is because historically, there's a lot of yogurt. That's how you dealt with the milk and the fact that, you know, back in the day, thousands of years ago,

you want to get as much calories out of the things that you're farming and producing as you can, right? I figured the stuff in yogurt is also dairy-based, though, right? Or no? Mm-hmm. Okay. Yes, but because it's fermented, there's bacteria that's introduced to it that break down the lactose. It's already helping process it. So is it doing that in the tub?

Like I buy a tub of good yogurt, Greek yogurt. Is it actually breaking down the? I don't know about that, to be honest. I know there are a lot of claims about bacteria in yogurts that are not true. So it's a little bit hard to tease that apart. I think there's still bacteria in it, just like there's still bacteria and cheese that you buy. it might be it might be fermenting it but i don't know part you're refrigerating it so maybe that probably slows down any of that process if it's happening at all oh good point uh yeah but um

but yeah they could eat it now because because the lactose is being broken down but um as people began to move across the world uh some people moved up to northern europe where climates were colder and it allowed for longer milk storage because that's one of the reasons they also turned it into yogurt and cheese in the warmer climates and Mediterranean climates and stuff like that is because it's warmer. It wouldn't last as long. So they wanted to make it last longer. Well, when you move

north, you can store this stuff for longer, especially during the fall and winter. And so there was just an evolutionary pressure and advantage to if you were born with a mutation that allowed you to produce

lactase and and consume the milk you could get more calories eat more easily and survive you know famines or or or long winters and stuff like that right sure sure sure so anyway all that to say um most people are lactose intolerant but the people who aren't the people who can consume milk were all a bunch of mutants right but you're saying i'm the best of what i do and what i do is digest milk that's Right. But what you're kind of saying, though, is there is a possible outcome that, for those who maybe suffer from it more to increase good bacterial opponents to lactose, like if they increase their input of those good bacteria, gut bacteria, that they could maybe curb this a bit. Isn't that the idea? So that's what you might think, right? I might think that. But it's, it doesn't exactly, it doesn't quite work that way.

I was afraid of that. that's kind of where the raw milk people are coming from because this has been uh i know i know i know brian the dairy you were they weren't they didn't have raw milk but this whole claim there's such a movement there's a big push yeah yeah yeah exactly the claim that um that you know that low pasteurization or low temperature pasteurization or no pasteurization at all would cure lactose intolerance or or or or deal with it um it started with raw milk raw milk has been saying raw milk proponents and people who you know sell raw milk have been saying this for a long time that it that it has a natural lactase in it and so it's it's producing it by bacteria that's in the milk and it's already breaking it down right comes with the tools that you need to process it right right and then the claim is that by us pasteurizing it we're killing all that bacteria and so then it's not breaking it down but the truth is that that that's not actually happening so probiotic bacteria is like raw milk doesn't have probiotic organisms like people claim it does and I think

the reason people think this is because of a misunderstanding of of a what's going on in the milk and be what probiotic organisms really are so there are studies that show that fermented dairy products like yogurt might be able to ease lactose malabsorption is what they call it or the inability to absorb lactose yeah look at these this The photos that Scott keeps putting up are just the grossest dairy products. They're pretty gross. On the cheese, they say, oh, keep eating it's good for you. But in the milk, these are milk cases here.

You don't want to be drinking this shit. No, geez. So that's an important point I want to make. Somebody has milk looks like this. Yeah, throw it away. Yeah, don't drink that, right? Yeah. It's not going to help you.

It's a bad idea. You think you got lactase to break down. I have that intolerance. Just the imagery. I'm not very tolerant of any of this. No, no, exactly. Sorry, Bobby. Continue. No, that's okay.

So, yeah, there have been studies that showed that fermented products like yogurt might be able to help people with lactose intolerance. But the reason that those studies showed that is because the fermentation microorganisms were producing lactase in the intestines, right? So, okay, the idea is that it's being added to the yogurt. It's not naturally present in the milk, right? Right, you have to add it. We add microorganisms to the yogurt in order to get the process of fermentation started. Because that's the whole thing with yogurt, right? Yogurt isn't like a naturally occurring substance.

We've always done this. This is not new, right? Like Danin didn't go, hey, guess what guys? we got an idea by the way if you ever drive by a danan yogurt factory even if they brown bag the whole building and has no logos and you don't know who's in there you will 1,000% know you're driving past a danon uh oh my lord brian it's so bad imagine the worst diaper you ever experienced that's what that smelled like horrible i thought it would have smelled like the fruit at the bottom no it does not because the the uh the place i the the morning fresh dairy that i went to they do the nuca yogurt there as well, the Greek, or it's really Australian-style yogurt. That place, there was no smell whatsoever. So whatever they're doing, they're locking that.

Yeah, I don't know what's going. Danon, obviously, you know, not known. There's a lot of sugar. And who knows. That could be it, too. Yeah. But, man, does it wreak? There's this one between us, and I think it's Ogden.

And you go north, and you can always tell when you're driving past it. Even if you're pulling, recycling air in your car, it doesn't matter. Just, boom. Oh, geez. Boom. All right. there's a little side note there to remember yeah yeah yeah well that's because they're adding this they're adding these bacteria to it to it right and so they're producing a lot of these

byproducts that are very smelly um the uh and and that's all continuing to happen inside your intestines um raw milk advocate so what i think is happening is raw milk advocates are making some connection between pasteurization killing bacteria and these studies that show that there is some there sometimes is a small benefit to yogurt

when it comes to lactose intolerant subjects and again this study is just showing that when you add specifically add fermentation bacteria that breaks down lactose to the food product

it makes it more tolerable to lactose intolerant people, which makes sense, right? Yeah. Because it's breaking down the lactose for you. Right. Also, another thing to think about, and this is just like, to me, just the logic of the idea that raw milk would already have these things in it. If the bacteria did naturally exist in the raw milk and it was breaking down the lack,

like it was producing lactase naturally from the raw milk, then lactose intolerance probably would have never been a thing in the first place, thousands of years ago. Right, exactly. Right. Yeah, but no one thinks that way. Also, when there's money to be made, they definitely don't think that way because they want you to do the thing. And it's really hard for people, they hear this and they, it rings bells. Like, you hear this, my mother-in-law's big on the raw milk thing. And it's because she's prone to hearing things that say, take it back to before we started messing with things. That's the good stuff. And she buys it every time. So there are people who People died a lot more and younger a long time ago.

Yeah, they did. They did. I tried a reminder of that, but she doesn't always listen to me. A little aside about, it's not really an aside, but to highlight the probiotics thing. Probiotics, the way probiotics are defined is beneficial, non-pathogenic bacteria, right? Like, that's, that is what probiotics are. They're beneficial, non-pathogenic, meaning they're good and they don't cause disease in humans. They don't spread pathogens.

Exactly. Right. And so technically, probiotics, as defined by medicine for their medical use, probiotics must be of some sort of human compatibility, usually from human origin, to have any positive effect to human health. Because if they're not, then they're foreign, and they're going to mess things up, right? Because we have an ecosystem in our, in our bodies that has to be balanced and maintained. And when you throw something foreign in there, it can cause trouble. Sure. And, yeah, so there is one, though, there is one human adapted bacteria that is found in raw milk. Oh, tell me more. It is called Streptococcus pyrogynes, and that is the strepthroat bacteria. Oh, that's great. We love that one. Huge fan. Huge fan of the Streptococcus.

love a good case of strep it's nothing nothing better for your life actually but what does that mean though that means you could get strep from milk when that was in there that's that's what it means holy shit yeah um if they're doing their job well they would well if they're doing their job well they wouldn't be producing raw milk in the first place but if uh or selling it anyway yeah but if they're doing everything right uh then there wouldn't be this bacteria in the milk at all. So there's another bacteria called bifidobacteria. It's sometimes mentioned as a good bacteria that's found in milk.

And maybe that's true. Who knows? But we don't want it in there because bifidobacteria, bifidopacteria is found in cow poop. Oh, okay. Ugh. Yeah. And so if it is in the milk,

then that's because the dairy produced is being contaminated by cow poop. And so then there's going to be other problems with it. Which always seems so easy to me. You got the whole cow body there. Yeah, yeah. The thing's only shit in four inches from where it's squirting milk. Yeah, I don't know, man. I just seem like a pasteurization is the greatest thing in the history of the world.

Freaking love it. It seriously has saved probably billions of lives. Good gosh. Or did it just save some dumb people who now don't get it? Hmm. I don't want anyone to die. Don't get this wrong. No, no, no.

Don't get me wrong. I don't want anybody to die. Human life is sacred. Bobby, I walk that back a little bit. I have my favorite, you know, you said they all have A's at the end, these lactase,

you know, whatever. I found my favorite. I'm going to try to say it here. Glacerol three foshit, Shetian dopamine, dihydranes, or dihadronase or NAD plus.

What do you think of that one? You like that? Yeah. I'm looking at it. If you're watching the live stream, you're also looking at it. But for those who are just listening at home, you think that when Scott said the shit part, he's just doing this thing where he can't pronounce it. But no, it's right there.

It's right there in the word. Poe shitty endopine? Foshiti endopin. Foss shitty endopine. Fos shitty endopin. Fos shitty endopin. I love it. Dehydrocy.

Creamy foe shitty endopin. Yeah, everybody wants that. Well, all right. This is good. We needed more insight on this. Yeah. And we now have it. So make good choices out there, everybody.

And don't just listen to the dairy to tell you a bunch of fake stuff. And happy early birthday, Scott. Oh, thanks, man. I'm already celebrating by not celebrating. You know what I found the thing that I love the most now as a parent now on my birthday is you don't need to get me anything. You don't need to have like special celebration with me or whatever. Just like, Stephanie, take the kids and leave the house. Hey, yeah, let me sit here and play video games.

Let me have some alone time. Exactly. I want to play video games all weekend. me play Shapes 2 with a Z for hours and hours and hours on end. Or even better, just acknowledge that maybe for my birthday, a roadcaster pro 2 would be the answer to all our dreams and needs. Well, we've brought it full circle. Keep in mind my birthdays in a month, so, you know, a pair of those and I can send this one back.

That's right. That's right. We got a plan. We know what we're doing. Bobby, tell people where they can find more of you and your fine podcastery. on with you these days. Well, I, of course, have the weekly podcast all around science where me and Mora talk about science news, but I haven't been on for a few weeks, so you may have

forgotten that I have a new daily science news podcast called Daily Science Brief. So check out Daily Science Brief, and it's just science news every day. So it keeps you up to date. It's 10 minutes. It's easy to listen to. Yeah, and I check it out every day. I'm one of your listeners. I think it's fantastic.

If you guys are just, we live in a world or sometimes, you know, you just need the hot hits of the day. Like Brian's daily music headlines. It's like that. It's like, give me the big stuff. If I want to seek out more, I will. And you can do that on the weekly with them as well.

But that daily, that daily dose is pretty great. Really like it. If you want to hear me struggle with, yep, that's right. Yeah. If you want to hear me struggle with RFK Jr. news and trying to be, trying to not rant on a daily news.

new show you can uh you should listen yeah yeah i mean i think you do a pretty good job of trying whether or not we all succeed will be another question for a different day bobby have a fantastic week and may your roadcaster pro too give you all the love you need for less for less than a thousand dollars all right there he goes uh hey guys guess what that's the end of today's program couple of notes and then a quick text from our old pal senior geek which leads nicely i'm told into today's request so this is great it does it totally does did not mean to do that but I was happy to see it. Monday show today 1 p.m. Mountain Time. Me and Carter sitting down having our thing. After that, I don't think we're live streaming it, but I am doing that interview

with that kid I told you about that wrote the book. His name is Ethan. Ethan White. Oh, I was wondering about that. Okay. Yeah, we're here in town from Pennsylvania briefly. And while he's here, we're going to take advantage of it. And I think I'll put it on the TMS feed. I think people will get a kick out of it. I think so too. That'd be cool. I can't wait to hear it myself. Yeah, a little bonus content for you folks. So watch for that coming up. And then, of course, daily music headlines did happen today, right? What are we, what's the, what are the hot hits? Let's see.

What's something that's interesting? Oh, geez, why can't I remember his name? Billy Idol. Guitarist for, well, guitarist for John Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora. Oh. So he, he wrecked his hand months ago, like in late April, didn't tell anybody about it, fractured his hand in two places, went and performed at a, Kentucky Derby thing a couple days later

and then after that had some emergency surgery he's recovering Richie Sanborra hopefully returning back to music soon but he's I mean he was a wild man right like correctures his hand in two places and then goes on to play guitar at an event crazy yeah no he and he's known for you know he can do his job he's good at it

he's a good guitarist exactly I can't imagine how that must have felt that whole set that must have hurt oh I must have hurt like Hell. Yeah. Must have left him wanting to be dead or alive. No, it must have made him living on a prayer. Anyway, I didn't make a joke on that one.

And then DSW is suing all the three major labels because of disagreements over the music that they used in their social media. Yes, the shoe company is suing BMG Universal and Warner Brothers music. Really? I'm sorry, Sony. Oh, Sony. Okay. Wow. I didn't know that was a thing.

It's crazy. Sure. So that's all. Find out more about all that stuff and more on Daily Music Headlines. DailyMusikheadlines.com. We've also got a subreddit and a Discord that we check. So make sure to jump in there and look at all that fun stuff. Very nice.

We got a quick text here from Senior Geek. He sent this to QuickCast. What the hell is it called? I got somebody quicks now. I know. Voicecast. Dot app slash TMS. It's not even a quick one.

No, I don't even know what's wrong with me. I've got so many damn URLs. You know what? All of it's at Frogpants.com. slash TMS. You don't have to go hunting around all these URLs. Just go there and all of them are there. Anyway, he wrote in says, there's a photo, here's a photo of me dressed as Dale Horvath at Nurtacular 24, I think. I just wanted to share this photo. It's great. It's such a great photo. Yeah, this is him. It's blow it up big. Boy, as Dale from Walking Dead. Those early days of

Walking Dead, man. Oh, they were amazing. They were great. And I can't remember who sent me, someone's going to be mad at me for forgetting, but somebody sent me a son. I did art for Dale and I called it Show Me Your Dale face was the name of the poster and I sold it on the site somebody bought a copy

went to one of these conventions had Dale sign it, the actor and then send it back to me and I treasure it but now I can't remember who sent it so sorry to whoever that was I'll figure it out and then I'll give you full credit but I'll tell you what Gary dead perfect

dead perfect like right spot on good Lord like that's That is Dale. He sees zombies on the horizon. His camper trailer is the only place to hide. Like, look at him. It is perfect. He'll die too soon. All those things. All those things. But not Gary. Well, anyway, so there's that. Thanks Gary for sending that. Brian, that seems like Gary has a little connection here to the rest of the show. What's going on? He does. Well, he also turned 76 this last weekend. He says, I complete my 76th right around the star. We've named Saul on July 12th. Since the 12th is a Saturday anytime the week before or after we'll work. given recent events i'm not feeling particularly celebratory so i think joan jet's cover of we're not going to take it is appropriate to my mood or whatever the covermeister deems more appropriate keep up the good fight gary the senior geek we love gary um we do love gary

from lan tronics from lot b from uh batu like so many so many uh uh suffixes to gary's name Yeah, I wore a shirt in Vegas that my wife, I said to her, I said, hey, I look like Gary from Lantronics. I was just looking to the mirror. And it was like a top, really floral but open shirt kind of thing like he would wear. And she goes, I don't think you can wear that anymore. And I said, why? She goes, because I'm going to just, I'm going to see Gary every time. I said, well, I said, what's wrong with that?

There's not wrong with Gary. He's great. Nothing wrong with Gary, unless, you know, unless you want a little bit of the old sexy time. and then she's now she's thinking of Jimmy Buffett carrying a couple of margaritas escaping Jurassic World. That is exactly the look. That is exactly it. So anyway. All right. Well, that's great. Yeah, this is Joan Jett from her, I'm sorry, from the tribute to Twisted Sister. I thought this was from her cover album. No, this is a track she contributed to a Twisted Sister tribute album called Twisted Forever. Going all the way back to 2001, here's Joan Jett. We're not going to take it.

Oh my gosh, that sounds awesome. We're going to play that now. And when we come back tomorrow, we'll have all the usual Tuesday business. So please join us tomorrow. We'll see you then. There ain't no way we're losing. This is our life. This is our song. We'll fight the pounds that we trust.

Don't pick the destiny code. You don't know what? You don't belong. We're not going to take it. No, we ain't going to take it. We're not going to take it. more oh you're so

understanding your call is never ending we don't want nothing nothing from you your life is dry and jaded

boring and confiscated if that's your best your best won't do Oh We're right Yeah We'll fight

You'll fight You're safe We're not going to take it No, we ain't going to take it We're not going to take it And oh We're not going to take it No

We ain't going to take it We're not going to take it. We're not going to take it anymore. We're right, we're free, we'll fight, now, we'll fight your sake. We're not going to take it. No, we ain't going to take it. We're not going to take it anymore. We're not going to take it.

No, we ain't going to take it. We're not going to take it anymore. We're not going to take it. No, we ain't going to take it. We're not going to take it anymore. We're not going to take it to do. No, we're going to take it. We're not going to take it anymore

We're not going to take it. No, we ain't going to take it. We're not going to take it. We're not going to take it. We're not going to take it anymore. We're not going to take it. No, we're not going to take it anymore. We're not going to say No Don't keep the day to me We're not going to say it anymore Frog Pants The F is for fun The R is for right on

The OG is for OGs That was good And then Pants I'm sorry But this is nonsense
