None of your business with Wendy and more on this episode of the morning stream. Knocking the way downtown, walking fast, faces past and I'm homebounder. I had never watched any videos before about masturbation. Hello, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Thursday, July 31st, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson, and Brian Nibbitt has returned. Yes. Back. Welcome back. My favorite part of you coming back was no one got to hear this because it was a pre-show meeting, but your niece pushed some buttons while you were gone. That's right. We had to fiddle with it. I think, I mean, it might have just been brave, like, because I had to reset a couple things in brave. But who knows? She, you know, she feels like, She seems like the type that she not feels like she is the type that wouldn't want to mess with stuff. Like if she comes, she comes over the house and she likes to sit.

I was telling Scott that my niece just loves to sit in the chair here in front of all the screens. Even if she doesn't do anything, even if she isn't like, you know, online or playing a game or whatever. She just like sitting here with all of the screens around. She's 14, 13. Yeah. And get into that. I don't think she would, yeah, I don't think she would push any buttons just because she knows that, you know, that affects how things operate here. So I'm guessing it was really just a brave issue.

She sees you as a Captain Kirk of sorts and she wants to fiddle with the panel. That's right. That's great. Well, Brian, the good news is that you're back and that means you probably got shit to say about this trip. You were in the nation's capital. Tell us all about it, man. You know what? It was a good trip.

let's get the heat out of the way it was hot it was 95 degrees and washington dc has like 80 to 90% humidity so it was um you felt it when you were outside yeah yeah it was uh basically you know we knew what was happening going in and so it's like all right packed nothing but black t-shirts because you don't want to pack something light colored where you're going to be pitting out nope um t-shirts i have a great it's upstairs right now but i have this great neck cooling fan thing that um charges USB charges and it'll go the whole day on a single charge but it hangs around your neck and it has a fan that shoots straight up along like your neck in the side of your head and um oh my god it is it is a game changer it drops things by about 10 degrees around your head

that's the best place to do it because that's where you're most annoyed with the heat is your head it is exactly yes uh Alicia has one of those but i don't think it lasts all day it's that sounds like you got a better battery one yeah Tina bought one at the uh We went to a place called the Spy Museum. That place, I'll talk about museums and places we went in a minute here, but she bought one there, and hers only lasted half the day, so she's basically like only turning it on when she knows she needs it. Yeah, yeah.

Meanwhile, I've got mine going the whole time. We're sitting there on the subway. How big is it? Does it make you look like you got a neck issue or anything like that? No, it looks like a small set of headphones. Like, not like your air shocks or something, but like a, you know, smaller than beats headphones. The size kind of thing just goes around your neck. I don't know.

You have to send me that brand. I want to check that out. Yeah, I will. It's great. It's really, really cool. Nice. So the big important part of the trip was seeing my dad get his Coolidge medal for his, you know, his continuing years of service. he is he may be retired but he's far from done working because he's doing as much consulting

he's doing as many hours consulting a week as he was doing working a week but he it was cool going to this event which was like an award ceremony they were announcing the new fellows the new fellows for the uh american association of physicists physicists in medicine and and then they closed out with this this um award given to him it's coolidge the present coolidge or a different coolidge no a different coolidge this this is a coolidge that invented a like some sort of glass tube system that is used predominantly in dissimetry and radiation physics and and things like that they they explained it and i was uh busy holding the camera steady because i wanted to get a video the whole like they did a whole this is your life kind of introduction for him oh cool his friend

his friend tony did donnie's the one who nominated or has nominated him for a couple of years on this that's great and um uh and my dad is the most humble person ever he doesn't you know it doesn't want to sit there and brag about himself or anything like that and so getting to hear all these accomplishments things he's never told me about getting this award here in scotland getting this award over here from uh this edison group and you know basically all these things that are coming up on screen and uh looking over at Tina saying what the hell like why do we have to come here to find out you know uh all the things my dad has achieved but uh he invented the light bulb and never told brian what the hell exactly yes exactly so

um anyway uh no this is my this is the i bit dad this is my biological dad claire responding to claire in the chat room for those who be listening on the show but and then after the thing he was it was great watching him kind of be the rock star with everybody coming to him and tell him how they you know he's been inspiration to him he's had several people there that he's mentored and so they they act like they're my siblings they're like oh I'm kind of you're an official sibling because he's my he's my mentor and like oh cool awesome let me stay in your place in New Zealand when I come to visit but what I love is that You think Brian Abbott is tall?

Yeah. Oh, yeah, no. Your dad is really tall, man. He's really tall, yeah. What is he, 6.5, 6, 4? Probably 6.5, because I'm 6, 2, 6, 3 somewhere. So he's a couple inches taller than him at least. So I saw a picture of you guys, awesome pictures, by the way, but I see these pictures

and I'm just like, he would dunk on his son if they were playing basketball right now. He easily would. Yeah, exactly. So, uh, got to hang out with him, have a couple really nice, incredible dinner. oh my god went to clides of georgetown um and had the most amazing scallop and uh shrimp ravioli that i've ever had the the sauce was made like it was a lobster it was like lobster bisque sauce kind of thing it was so good that sounds amazing it also sounds super fancy it's super fancy and it's rare that that you know i'll be out on vacation and even though we have a fridge in the room

it's like you know what i will take those home i'll take those leftovers home and in a rare instance, I ate those leftovers. Like cold out of the tin with plastic fork and knife from the Starbucks or something, and it was just fine. It was that good, eh? Just fine. Somehow I've heard of that name, the restaurant name,

and I don't know in what context. Plades of Georgetown, yeah. Oh, I know. There's episodes of West Wing, they talk about it. They go there. That's what it is. Yeah, it must be some kind. Well, Paul in the chat says, Clydes is an institution. So, that's right love a place like that and i even got it wrong on at clides i had um i had catfish at uh philominas i had the uh philominas i had the uh philmina's the italian place but we did

clides the first night and then filomena's the second night filminas all of us the italian place that i had the the ravioli but um so the whole rest of the time basically we we hopped from museum to museum Smithsonian is an incredible, literally institution out there. And John Smithson, the guy who founded it, said, I want my museums to be free forever and no one will ever have to pay to go in them. And so everything, every one of the Smithsonian Museum is absolutely free. You go to the National Air and Space Museum. You go in the zoo, totally free.

Never bothered to look it up, but I didn't know there was a dude named Smith who founded the museums. Smithson, actually. Oh, Smithson. So Smithsonian. I had no idea. Freaking. I mean, I never bothered to look it up. I just always thought it was a fancy name and it was there forever and no one ever questioned it.

Right. We didn't know of it, Matt. Yeah, same here. We actually saw the statue. I didn't know it until the last day. We did this thing called the Dusk Bike Tour. okay and um oh right we got uh we got bikes uh 15 of us 15 of us in our group and we rode around um dc and then around the tidal basin and the title basin is kind of where you've got your washington monument and the jefferson memorial and the lincoln memorial and an incredible view of the capital basically you kind of see that that um that that plus symbol that's kind of made by the Washington monument in the center, the White House north of that,

the Lincoln Memorial South, and then the, or I'm sorry, Lincoln Memorial West, and then the, that one's my favorite. Capital Building East. Yeah, that's the Washington Monument right there. I love that. Such a great shot. Our tour guy and our bike guy lay on the ground at the Washington Monument and took that photo of us. Oh, nice.

It's like, that's dedication. That's like... Should have put your foot up Godzilla style like you're going to step on them. And you can actually see Tina's in my little neck fan things. Oh, let's zoom in. She's wearing her white one and I'm wearing my green one. Oh, there you go.

Okay, so this one Tina has is exactly the one Alicia has and that must be the low battery one. Yours is way less, well, it's less white so it stands out less, but... Yeah, exactly. I want what you got. That sounds great. It's so good. now the memorials and the monuments absolutely incredible and especially when it's starting to get dusk and they start coming on the one for the Korean War I think is my favorite because it is like you feel the weight and the gravity of that war from the memorial so it's it's got 19 statues yeah see if you want to pull it up there it is right there that's it right there yeah that's so you got so

19 statues of, and they're coming out of that forest back there that you see off in the distance, and they're approaching, you know, with their, their, um, their, uh, their gear and everything. And no matter where you are standing around that, the way it was designed really brilliantly is, um, no matter where you're standing around that memorial, there is always a soldier looking at you. Oh, wow. Wild. Like every, basically there's a face pointed towards you no matter where you're standing around this thing what are the placard things on the ground are those names or something or those are um there's actually on those i don't think there's any names on those i think the names are all on that back wall where they reflect so there's 19 statues um and when you reflect those that means there's 38 that you can see and it was the fight was over the 38th parallel the war started 1938 i think um or am i getting that wrong 1938 there was a there was a whole bunch of 38s involved gotcha um uh 36 000 americans died but that's not a 38 right um but just the way you know they're all kind of looking around and i don't know that one that one was just so yeah that's all i didn't even know this you never hear about this one this is really interesting no you hear about the you know the Jefferson memorial memorial very famous with that uh um that dome and the lincoln memorial of course and the the washington monument but um that one was

really cool the civil war i'm sorry the the um vietnam war memorial which is like a big scar oh right right uh is the way it was designed it's like oh it did not realize that so uh we get to the world war two memorial and and basically you know our our writer our guide is in front and then the 15 of us are basically just supposed to be following directly behind him and in single file and it's starting to be dusk

it's starting to get a little dark as we get to the World War II Memorial and for the only time during the ride I'm the one right right behind him usually I'm like in the back two-thirds hanging back Tina's back there we're kind of just you know we're obviously we're going the same speed

as everybody else but it just kind of feels like we can kind of take it easy because we see the way people are having to navigate up front but for the ride to the World War II Museum or Memorial I was right behind him and we're going down the path and he's like I'm going to turn here and he makes a sharp right turn and ducks down this like between a couple little fence posts

and I follow and he says all we're going to turn left right here and this is all in the space of about you know 20 feet he's doing all this and he swerves to avoid like this dirt trail or this like

place where the dirt has really been tramped down and I go over it well as I go over it my wheel front wheel catches in the rut and stops like it is not going any further forward by front wheel on my bike and so the rest of me and the bike kind of go over like crumble on the ground

as I go oh shit I don't know. And these were giant, not giant, but they were big rat holes in the ground. Like in the World War II Memorial, these rat holes. Actual rat, like rat holes. Yes. Damn. I know, like the thing you go down a rat hole, but these are rat holes.

I'm like, they look like prairie dog holes because they're that big, like that, you know. Yeah. They're decent size. I didn't know rats did that. I didn't know they burrowed. I had no idea. I apparently Washington, D.C. rats apparently burrowed. Who knew?

So I'm totally fine. Like, you know, we're going, we're only going, like, less than five, or right around five miles an hour. And so it was really quick. Yeah. But, um, but still everyone's like, oh, my God. You're like, oh, I'm totally fine. I'm like, not even, you know, the worst thing was that my thumb hurt a little bit.

But it's about it. And only for like, you know, a minute. but so you know Tina's in the back and she's like oh my God somebody fell down

and then she realizes it's her husband so somebody's going to fall down on this somebody's going to crash on this ride of course it's going to be me that's funny you were the only one I guess

nobody else nobody else fell down the entire ride and man this guy tried like it's getting to be about like you know dark this was one of our last

or next Next to last stops was the World War II, and then we went up towards the White House. And the sidewalks, a lot of the paths and things have these posts to keep motorcycles and things from going on them. You see them at your own parks, like we've got those poles and stuff. And when it's dusk or even dark, and you're going at this point, 15, you know, 10 to 15 miles an hour, those poles feel ever so close, much more close. together than they do during the daylight because you're trying to guide your bike through them and you don't want to hit them obviously and it's like oh my god you know the last thing you want is your handlebar to catch on one of them and spin you around and dusk has a way of really messing with

your vision it's not yeah really does really weird how that works but uh that's why they say most accidents happen during most car accidents happen during dusk because it's like the in between no one's lights are on sure there's time to do it and people yeah and your your eyesight you know your your your eyes are kind of adjusting to that difference in light and that sort of thing the there was you know every every one of the Smithsonian

museums were incredible the zoo is great we saw the the giant the giant pandas that China gave us we saw the we watched a red panda eat and we went early like basically we got there when the place opened and we kind of had the place to ourselves for a while

which it's like this is when it was 70 something degrees it was great like perfect temperature that's wild and um got there early walked around we watched an elephant so they have an elephant in the um they have like four or five elephants there and but they have what's called the elephant community center we're like oh it's you know this is our condition let's go in here for a little bit and we watched um and i have video of this and i'll need to um i'll probably i'll share it somewhere but they they had two people people, one with a hose, and then one with a clicker and a bunch of food. And this elephant knew exactly what to do every time that clicker clicked.

it you know came up they hosed down the elephant's side then clicked again and and the whole time she's getting foods and getting food and she's like you can tell she has this great bond with this trainer it's not like a fear thing because she's her trunk she's kind of resting on the shoulder of the the trainer at times and then getting food and then eating and then putting her trunk resting on the trainer but she turned to the side and then click and then she turned a face forward and put one of her legs on the top of the fence so that her paw, the bottom of her paw, or foot can get washed. Yeah, what is that? A foot? A paw? What is that? I don't know. What do you call an elephant's leg? It's its foot, I guess?

It's like an ottoman without the... It's hard to think of it as a paw, right? You think of, like, dogs and cats having paws, but... Yeah, it's a tube so freaking big. It's probably got its own name, but, you know... Huff. And then click, and then it puts that one down, puts the other one up, and then click, puts that one up, and then click, puts that, one down turns around puts its back feet up one at a time on the thing like this unwieldy mammoth beast is like raising a foot and gingerly placing it on top of the uh the fence they're smart turns out they're really smart yeah they remember everything like they're going to get rewarded if they play if they just play along that uh that's great um super super also i noticed uh that you uh you took

over the white house while you were there i did a certain orange squat goblin was out of town was in Scotland. Exactly. While he's in Scotland, I'm going to take over the place. Yeah. For those at home, Brian's got this great picture of him sitting behind what looks like the Oval Office, but this is a replica or something? It's a replica.

There's this place called the People's House. Now, if you go on the White House tour, it is super Trumpy. Everything is Trumpy, Trump, Trump, right? And the gift shop is all MAGA's stuff. If you go to the People's House tour, it's also free. and it's all about the history of the White House. It devotes equal time to all presidents. You get an incredible recreation of the Oval Office.

I'll send you another photo. This one kind of bummed me out because I was like, we took that picture, had the place, again, had the place to ourselves, that room for a little while. And then took that picture behind the desk, and then everybody else started going back behind the desk. And then while they were doing that, I'm like, oh, I want to get a picture because they had the yellow chairs that he always sits in when he yells at Zelensky for, you know, not dressing nicer when he comes to the, um, always. With all that stupid gold shit behind them, yeah.

I'm lining up to take a picture of it. And this woman, like, sees that I'm taking a picture and then just plops her butt down in the yellow chairs as I'm taking a little chair as I'm taking it. Oh, look at this. I love it. She's just like, you know what? I don't know who this guy is, but I'm going to photo bomb me. that's great I'm just gonna take a picture

I was like okay great okay so they keep kind of the whatever the neutral style of the place is this this place keeps that in perpetuity I like that does not have the the garbagey the garbagey Trump kind of gold

everything look how dirty this chair is though oh yeah I mean you know that thing gets that thing sees about a thousand butts a day not more gross yeah that's cool though it's really cool yeah and then uh glad they have that is that an actual working fireplace behind them like in the real one or this one is it actually doing stuff do you know yeah i don't know

that's a really good question um just curious they ever fire that up and go all right it's time for us to meet with a world person here's that lady again just looking i texted you another one because i don't have it in my photo library yet but um they have another place where you can all right hold on i wish so if your audio only you're missing out on this one this is uh well it'll be obvious to those in the chat but this is brian recreating a very important scene in our history that happened some years ago during the 45th administration um which now is the 47th but anyway we're Trump looks under the sun is this in a this is enclosed inside though right this is not an outside thing in front of a green screen oh really

Yeah. So you can actually, you stand in front of this green screen and, and you can choose where you want to be either at the, um, at the press conference desk or the podium or, uh, on the South Portico and it's freaking funny. You, to Brian's credit, he squinted more than the squat goblin did. So, yeah, nice job. Totally did. That's great. Anyway, that, and then finally, the, the, the, the, the. spy museum um oh i've heard really cool stuff about that place it is so yeah well done oh we did

the holocaust museum by the way that was like day one we got that one knocked out and uh that is that is a heavy uh a heavy afternoon i'll bet three hours um powerful as hell can imagine yeah yeah but then uh spy museum we did and it's um similar it's funny it's kind of a similar thing you start you take the elevator to the fifth floor and then you work your way around and start descending and it is super interactive. You are given

a badge and you have a mission to complete and learning about spy stuff as you go through. They currently have a bond exhibit. You pay a little bit extra but you get to see all these vehicles from James Bond films.

Oh, look at the I'm looking at a photo here. showing at the chat. That is so rad. Are the actual, I guess they're probably actual cars. They're the actual cars. Yeah. That's cool. Like here's the, I get to be on one of the, you guys get to sit on one of the snowmobiles.

I'm putting in our Discord. By the way, I can look at that one. There's the motorboat from Live and Let Die. Look at this. Some mask guys chasing you down the hill. That's amazing. Yeah.

Look on your face. oh man what am i gonna do like you know totally pretend um um hammering through this oh this is the actual boat from that scene it's the actual boat from that scene yeah up dude that's cool yeah that's really cool dude yeah it's it's it's awesome and the uh didn't know the fictional spy stuff there too along with uh you know yes yeah well yeah exactly um because they have some other stuff isn't they're like old old school they have like the old school like the the the the the button cameras, the

Exactly like, hey, let's have a big weird animal, the big weird nose.

Oh, I found a photo with his, Brian and his coolers there on the side of his neck. Yeah, you can see it right there. There's the neck cooler. Yeah, yeah. It's definitely not a... That's what I looked like when I was in the sun for too long. Yeah, definitely not a mass effect image that I pulled randomly out of nowhere. Here we go.

Look at this little mere cat. Look at him. Yeah. Pumba. Nope. Patee. Timon. Timon. I couldn't not resist to mention that.

All right. Well, that's awesome, dude. It seems like a great time was had and glad you guys got to do it. That seems like a cool trip. My wife has done this exact trip. She did it with a bunch of kids. It was like part of some school thing. Oh, that's cool.

Yeah. They were way into it. It was back when Nick was pretty young. And the place was a little less orange, but, you know, whatever. That's the, um, that is the only bummer part of this. Like, if it would have been during the administration of a president that we actually liked, it would have been a far, far better experience. Or even one that we, we don't even have to like them, people.

Just someone who isn't a wrecking ball, taking a shit on everything. That's all. Exactly. Yes. Yeah, I would totally, you know what, during a Bush presidency, totally wouldn't have no problem. An issue. But either Bush, Bush, Sr., don't care. I'd have gone in there for, I'd be there for,

blowjob Clinton, I'd be there for who is Gregg? I'd go see anybody. I don't care. Yeah. Don't care. Doesn't matter. Except for this one. Yeah. I'm a bipartisan Trump hater. All right? Yeah, exactly. I hate Trump from both sides of the aisle. Both sides of the aisle are covered in Cheeto dust.

All right. That's awesome. That's on the trip. That sounds like a blast. Yeah, it was a great time. Glad to be back. And thank you for indulging me on all that. Oh, heck yeah. And then another, just a quick thanks out to Bobby for covering. We appreciated that. Had a fun couple of days.

I didn't, I haven't finished Tuesday's episode, but, uh, because I started watching Superman 3 on the plane. Oh, look at you getting a film sack done. Look at that. Well, you know, you got a, I get limited time. I got to make sure I get things done when I need to get them done. When it, um, so, Wayne, did you, do you have to rent that on the plane? How did you get, was it just on there?

I downloaded it, uh, to my iPad from HBO Mac. Got it. Okay. I'll be watching that tonight, I believe. Yes. Enjoy the hell out of that. That's probably as shitty as I think it is. It's probably shittier than you remember. All right. Let's do some news. We got time. We got time for that. Do we want to this Blackstone thing?

Oh, yeah. I forgot. Sorry. I totally missed it. All right. Two quick things. I mentioned it yesterday. I'll mention it again. The Nerdtacular 2026 survey is up for those who maybe missed the show yesterday or are here live today. weren't yesterday. If you go to frogpants.com slash nerdtacular, there is a survey there. It's the very first thing you'll see. This is really just a way to kind of gauge people times of year, what they want to see. This can be returning people who've been there at one of the 10 years we ran it, or if it's brand new, if you've never been before. Just want to get all your feedback. There's a bunch of great pictures. Look at this picture of me and Brian talking in 2015. Look at that. She's a couple of youngsters right there right was nick still very young carter didn't shave her head yet

veronica i mean look at look at look at some of these people making a goofy face yeah look at metzen showing up look at look at metzen and joey image having a cigar what's that about that's cool anyway uh if you want to go relive some of these memories a lot of those photos are up and uh you can also fill out this survey and it's going to help me a lot just determine a bunch of things we're still very early dates are not set yeah all kinds of things aren't said but uh anyway fill it out frogpants.com slash nerd tacular and then quickly this email from douglas turley who wrote in and said uh it's about blackstones the thing you cook your your uh bacon on you know the black stone i love it i love it huge bacon fried rice so good

we've been doing everything we basically we've used it three two or three times a week now it's like uh we just figure out new things to cook on there and and old things that we like to cook on there. Yeah, it's great. Smash burgers. Great. Can't go wrong with a smash burger. Make it your main method of cooking stuff. Exactly. I like it. Let's see. I don't have a Blackstone or a grill since I live in an apartment, but I switched to cast iron and carbon steel for most of my cooking. Blackstones are basically just large carbon steel surfaces anyway. Modern dish soaps don't contain lie and won't harm seasoning. Some grill cleaners might, but they, but they're unnecessary for carbon steel. I don't know what we have up there that are always yelling.

me about if I wash it iron pan yeah just don't want to have standing water is the problem oh is that the deal you just don't let it soak that's what that's what let exactly don't soak your cast iron pans maybe that's why I got in because that'll rest the that'll that's where the rust comes in got it he says I just scrape off the stuck bits use regular soap and a chain mail scrubber chain mail yeah isn't that cool never heard of that I assume it's not as thick as I'm imagining it's like a little rings probably like right yeah not like somebody's male armor size right he says if that's needed though that is rare that is rare thanks to good seasoning i use grape seed oil for its high smoke point and low cost but vegetable oil works fine too cast iron and carbon steel don't need babying they just

just keep standing water off them to prevent rest there you go uh thanks douglas and um that confirmed a lot of what we knew but also i always forget uh that it's not the soap and uh and uh since no one's using lie anymore, it's really not an issue, which I tried to explain to my wife. And she, I think what she did is, she said, it's a lie. Yeah. She goes, that's a lie. It's spelled her wrong. And then she said, don't let it sit in water.

So she also confirmed the whole point, which is last time I did this and screwed up the pot, it wasn't that I scrubbed it with anything. It's that I let it sit there and soak. Yeah. Like a dip shit. Now, I didn't do it very long. So it got cleaned and everything was fine. I didn't ruin it. Good.

But man, was I in trouble for a couple of days? still, you know, limping a little bit from that lashing that I received. As well, you should be. Yeah, I got in big trouble for that. All right. You guys, time for us to do a little bit of news. Do stay tuned, of course, because my sister will be here after the break today. That'll be great.

We're continuing down the path of happiness science. Excellent. I love it. We're also going to ask her about Bugs Bunny and Drag. Cool. Don't let us forget everybody. Brian's do. All right, here we go.

Let's do some news. Here we go. It's time for the. news brought to you by brought to you by daily music headlines a big thanks to ilean reverer she covered for me for the last several days instead of just taking her usual thursday she covered well she took her regular thursday today uh back to doing dmh tomorrow and getting back on schedule as well as guess the connection tomorrow uh no coverville today just uh it's really going to be a day where i catch up on um freelance and kind of just get back into the swing of

things here behind the command center set of screens that's right yeah got to settle back into your norms you know exactly exactly gonna wear that neck cooler while you do it though just ease back in with like still need still need to be cooled down yeah I'm totally getting one of those could he used yesterday it was 102 here oh geez yeah went and got hot pot which is a thing you shouldn't do when you're really hot no I know but you know what it's weird I when it's hot out when it's hot out I kind of crave fa and ramen and things like that. And when it's cold out, I want frozen yogurt. I don't get why I do that either.

Yeah. Don't understand it. It's weird. It's really weird. Yeah. And I way overdid it. Here's this thing. They have this policy at this place that we got hot pot last night.

That is if you leave a bunch of meat that you didn't eat, they're going to charge you for it. Oh, right. Because they don't waste it. Right. Exactly. Yes. So kind of common, I guess, for them to do this. But I didn't know that.

So I got paranoid. so I had some beef tongue and some like chicken left and I was like I'm full but I'm just going to go ahead and you know and I'm at the dregs of this thing which is already pretty gross it's like thick and muddy now because you're doing it all night so I'm like cooking up the last bits and I'm eating some of that and then I thought you know what I could do I'll just hide what's left of this chicken in that pot which is only about this thick but it'll all be at the bottom lady you'll never know By the time she, they get to dumping it out and say, hey, here's all the meat.

It'll be long gone. Yeah, they can't charge me in retrospect. So, but it turns out they don't, what they don't, they only worry when it's like a big tray of stuff you didn't touch. Yeah, that makes sense. They don't care if there's like remnants. I don't know why I got paranoid, but I shouldn't have eaten that much. You know what? Easy to get paranoid about that because, yeah, it's, you don't know how they're going to deal with all that.

I don't want to pay triple. No. KT Data says you can get more broth. I know, but the lady was slow to come around and we had to go. So I didn't get anymore. It's the same place. We went KT. Data's last time. I got craving it again.

So that's now two trips to the hot pot within a seven-day period. Oh, because you went for a fantastic four. Yeah, that's where we went that night with Kevin and them. And it was great. And then all I've been thinking about is that since. So we went again. I'll probably do it again in a couple of weeks because I love it. Yeah.

Anyway, here's the story. A Pizzeria mishap. Oh, I mean, I'm one of these. Oh, no. I know. A mishap at a pizza Maria. Pizza. Pizza, pizzeria.

Diarrere. Let's see what it says here. At least 85 people found themselves intoxicated because somebody put T.HC. infused oil in the dough. Oh, no. Yeah. Ooh. Wow.

Pizza that makes you want to eat more pizza. Think of that. Just eternal munchy circle. Exactly. It's like, I don't know. I don't know what is about this pizza, but I can't stop eating it. I want more of it. Order another one.

At least 85 people accidentally became intoxicated with THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis after eating pizza, garlic bread, and sandwiches from a Wisconsin restaurant. Of course. Cordia. No offense, Wisconsin. We love you. Yeah, we love you. But if it's going to happen, it's not going to be Colorado. It's going to be Wisconsin.

Yeah. And if it isn't them, it's Florida. That's just the way it is. sorry. The unusual incident which took place on October that we're just hearing about it now was described as a,

or in a new report on July 24th, Happy Pioneer Day. People still doing fireworks on the 25th and 26th. Of course they are. A-holes. Jack and apes. Gosh, dang it. I understand you have some left over.

You know what you can do. Hold them until next year. Exactly. They keep amazingly enough. Big old bird right in their in direction. Bastards. anyway in morbidity and mortality weekly what a fun read that must be yeah I have that on the toilet yeah dude actually I wouldn't mind a copy just to see what's in there

just to see yeah it'd be basically it's like here's a list of all your favorite movies and who's who's dead in them yeah it's part of the CDC apparently this part didn't get cut I guess I don't know the reports authors are are affiliated with public health Madison and Dane County, blah, blah, blah. And they warn Wisconsinites of the, is that what they call themselves? Wisconsinites, sure. That's a long one. Anyway, of the mass intoxication event, they call it.

Sconians. Yeah. A mass intoxication event. I love it. Yeah, I want to cause one of those. Fill out the forum for the Nurtacular Survey for your next. Join our site up for our 8 p.m. mass intoxication event. That's right.

That's right. Oh, some people are asking, I didn't make it super clear in the thing. It does. I do have a question in there about, will you be bringing family or friends? Or would that be a thing you consider? The thing about nerdtacular, as opposed to, say, T.M.S. Vegas, where Vegas as a whole isn't all that family friendly. It's not family friendly. No.

This thing is. If you've got little ones, bring them. If you got teenagers, bring them. We love the kids. We have special stuff for them. They always are, we love it. We love the kids. And it's very kid friendly.

They don't have to go to the cats. bar in the game room. Let's see. Where were we here? Oh, the famous Yeti's pizza. That's the name of the place. This is where to watch out. Immediately cooperated with the investigation was determined to have

unintentionally contaminated its food with THC. Live science contacted Famous Yeti's Pizza for a comment on the new report, but they had not heard back by the time of the publication. They're still there. They're still going. That's good. It's the famous Yeti's pizza. That's right.

I hope we hear from a, we have Wisconsin listeners. Somebody ride in and tell us if you've been there. And did you walk away feeling a little funny that day? A little happy. Yeah. Something going on. Or just let us know if you've eaten that famous yeti's pizza on a non-mass intoxication event. Yeah.

Yeah. Also, man, if I was trying, I mean, they still don't know who put it in there. It's probably somebody working there because they'd have access to the dough and all that. but um you could do this with small enough amounts that you could probably i'm not encouraging this but you could get away with it micro micro dosing basically yeah just put a few milligrams here and there you probably have people not notice they just had a real good time there yeah and was it you know they said it was with the oil so it was it only a certain kind like uh i guess pizza garlic bread and sandwiches so it's probably an oil that they use for everything well the place oh yeah

good point. Like the place that Medzula took us when we were there for Vegas was this place that had, I hadn't seen this before, so I'm going to sound really dumb here. I don't know a lot about that world, but there were, under glass, there was this whole selection of

oils and pasts. And the pasts look like, I don't know how to describe it, like a little blobs of like Vaseline almost. And that's some kind of pure THC paste. Oh, interesting. Okay. And then. Is that supposed to

to be like rubbed on on your skin for i think so or maybe some of it was designed for some of it was designed maybe for full-on smoking it claire says that's hash i don't know i don't know this stuff but anyway it looked like something you could if you wanted to brian take it and like and put it in your stuff you know make food gotcha weird okay edibles with it at home or something um i don't know i still don't quite understand what it's for but you know who will tell us mizzula will tell us he'll let us know. It'll tell us. Yeah. Or Vegas Sherpa will call anytime. Here's a story about a toddler, biting a cobra to death.

Wait, I think you reverse that headline. I know, right? It should go the other way, but instead, this is a toddler biting Sylvester Stallone to death. Oh, wait, not that cobra. Different cobra. Stop or my toddler will shoot. Wait, no, that's a whole different. A whole different thing. A toddler in India bit a venomous cobra so hard that he killed it. two-year-old Govinda Kumar who was playing in his home in

Bank Atwa a village in the eastern state of Bjar when he spotted the three-foot-long snake and he grabbed it. The cobra lunged at the child from his hand like they do, right?

Yep. This is natural, this is human nature. This is what cobras do. Cobra's do. Cobra nature. And coiled itself around the tiny hands of the kid on Friday, according to his relatives.

But instead of screaming, screaming govinda put the snake's head in his mouth clenched his jaw killed the damn yeah this is like uh i don't know it feels like a you know budding superhero origin story especially because the kid survived i mean he actually ingested some venom did he okay so when he bit it he did get some wow and it claims he lost consciousness pretty quickly they take him to the hospital he's been discharged he's fine now um the snake died immediately he's dead yeah But now, Snake Boy has, he will rise and at night fight crime. Only at night, though.

Only at night. It's right. It's really hard to have a snake signal in the sky, too. You can't tell if that's just the edge of the cloud or, uh... What is that up there? Cumulus clouds are kind of moving weird. I don't know. It's a bird.

It's a plane. It's a squiggly line. It's, uh, I don't know. Are they calling me? says snake boy i don't know anyway that's a fun one wow that is geez all right now the kid well done now one i feel really

bad for the guy in this story and it'll be for obvious reasons when I read it okay all right Jeffrey Epstein spelled joffrey style g style oh g-o-f-f okay yeah like yo yo-yo g-g that's how my dad spells spells his name

oh i didn't know that he's jeffrey with the g yeah i guess i never knew your dad's first name no i think it's it's jeff i like that jeff i stock him i'm stocked him online j i bit jibbitt jibbitt you're b a bit he's j abit he's j bit it's jeffrey with a g i mean g sorry yo yo yo joe joe uh jeffrey epstein is running for mayor uh of a major boston suburb what how is this possible one would ask courthouse hundred bucks get it done yeah yeah don't do this to yourself You know, I think about this a lot. This is why there's no Adolfs or Hitler's anymore. Yeah, yeah.

There's no... Adolf, not a popular name to give your child. Yeah. Who's the guy who killed the famously was the head of the... Oh, Charles Manson. I was going to say, who's head of the Manson family? Wasn't his name something Manson? Charles Manson.

Nobody's named Charles Manson anymore. There's some Manson. Shirley Manson. She's great. There's some Charles. Marilyn Manson, except that's not his real name. No. also i saw him again the other day without his makeup yeah not uh how does he do i don't know

i mean i and he's always looked weird without the makeup it's not like new but man what a weird looking dude with brian warner i think is his real name that sounds right he sounds like some kid in your sixth grade math class warner hey oh i've got shopped it and my partner's brian warner can you believe it plus we got suspended we're gonna have to go after school with Brian Warner Anyway, Epstein who's running for mayor of Framington Sorry, Framingham

What's at Farmington? We have a Farmington here And it throws me This is in Massachusetts Is obviously a different one From the disgraced late New York Financer Jeffrey Epstein Who is back in the headlines right now

Obviously Also release the damn files You bunch of cowards Exactly With let's see He shared his name Or sorry But the shared name does draw

some comments from people online pleading with him to show us the list uh poor guy you should post his uh grocery list and say wrong epstein but here's my grocery list yeah no show us one of those CVS ones we talked about right big old long he just on the camera going all right here's these are these are your eyedrops and then here's the four things that i bought to get this uh six foot receipt yeah love it love it uh let's see da da da blah da jeffrey epine says that he said it's people are always asking for this uh take one reddeter for example who recently posted a photo of epstein in the mayor mailer under the header is this guy for real other commenters familiar with the former farmington framington framingham school committee member

offered this he says he's only got or says his he's got good ideas about the city's finances wrote one okay um he just he just really needs why wouldn't he change his name like why i mean I understand, you know, all right, I'm proud of the legacy that I've built, but people are not going to see this and not immediately think of the other guy. Yeah, just change, like, what's your middle name? Is it, you know, it could be Henry. You know, now you're Henry Epstein, that's fine. Yeah.

Like, Epstein's still problematic, but, or, or change the last name, be Jeffrey E. Or Epps. Something, yeah. I don't know. Jeffrey E. Oh, yo, I'm Jeffrey E. There you, Jeff Eps. I'm running from mayor, yo.

No one locally cares about it at all, says Epstein, a former theoretical physics professor. Wait, the other Jeff Epstein was also a teacher. Oh, was he? Early on, yeah. In the 70s, I think. Moved to the U.S. from Australia. Oh, I said it that way.

Australia. Among the abundance of differences between the two, quote, he is a dead American, and I am on a live Australian, says Epstein. Okay. Sure. Yeah. I guess focus on the positive.

Yeah. Anyway, we'll see if how he does, he's going to have to run and try to win. It's, you know, he says nobody locally cares about it. I feel like they probably say that, but it's still impossible to hear his name and not think of the other guy. But I don't know how you do it. But I'm sure they immediately say, okay, yeah, different. This is a different person. We need to remember that.

But your mind immediately says, yeah. Yeah, people got me confused with Scott Peterson, the guy that killed his wife. Right. And he doesn't even have the same name as you. No, it's not even close. Well, it's got the Scott, but that's it. Yeah. Anyway, good luck to him and his mayoral campaign.

Let's take a break when we come back. My sister Wendy will be here. She's already in the thing waiting for us. So that's great news. That'll happen here shortly. Some of you people who think you're lucky in life, stay tuned for this. Cool. This is for you.

Brian, let's play a song on. What do you got? I've got a band called Snack Time. Boy, a band after my own heart. These guys are from Phil Adelphia. They have a brand new single called Enough with a period. Enough. This thing's got some great funk to it.

I'm just going to tell you right now. It's going to be your new favorite jam. These guys are a supporting act on the Fits and the Tantrum Summer Tour. So if you go see Fits in the Tantrums this summer, chances are you're going to see Snack Time open for them. Here's their brand new song. Enough. This is awesome. I bet it's not enough.

I'll bet I want to hear more after this. You'll want more after this one. All right, here it is. We'll see you guys on the other side. If I just sat down for a minute, I'm not sure that I could get myself up. Every day I push myself to the limit. How much? can I give until it's enough

It's 4 a.m. Just hopped off the plane Lost track of time I haven't slept in four days places change But the feeling stays the same I just want to know If I gave it up today

How much of myself still remains So If I just sat down for a minute I'm not sure that I could get myself up Every day I push myself to the limit How much can I do? he won't even if it's a nun. 9 p.m. just walked on the stage.

I try to recall why I do this again. Blinding lights start to feel like it came. lights start to feel like a cage. Bodies say you go, but my spirit's saying no, so I'll say through the pain. If I just sat down for a minute, I'm not sure that I could get myself up. Every day I push myself to the limit How much can I give unless it's enough Oh, I've been killing myself for a long time

Should I stop giving myself such a hard time? Oh, I've been killing myself for a long time, so I'll give myself a break in the me time. So if I just sat down for a minute, yes, I'm sure that I could get myself up. Every day I push myself to the limit. How much can I give until it's enough? You must be in a hell of a hurry, huh, Sheriff? Bet your ass on that boy. You must be in a heck of a hurry, huh, Sheriff?

Break your hat on that, boy. The first word I entered into the YouTube search bar was masturbation. YouTube search bar. All right, we're back. Hey, who the heck was that? Yeah, Ben from Philadelphia called Snack Time. they've got a brand new single. It's called Enough. And you just heard it. Oh, nice. Well, it's time for us to hear our old pal, Wendy, who's also my sister.

Psychosomatic. That boy needs therapy. You're psychosomatic. That boy needs therapy. It's too early for a fish sandwich. I always forget I put that part of the end. Hey, be with us and welcome my sister, Wendy. Hello, Wendy. Welcome to the show. Hi, hi. How are you sound? How are you? How are you home? Are you home? I am, yeah.

Oh, how's home doing? good yeah the home fires are burning home is good yeah kids are good yeah it's always good how's your husband how's adam dunford of the dunford bakery fortune how's he's he's he's good yeah that's great i don't know why i'm not expecting any of these questions i don't know either yeah these are all just dumb questions that uh i'm like in therapy mode right and so i i only talk about other people. So when people flip it and ask me, I'm like, why are you asking me? It's a very weird. Yeah. That's actually an interesting question. Do you ever have a patient who will suddenly start to kind of grill you? Is that happen in therapy? Really? They'll be like, well, how are you doing?

I'm like, none of your business. We're not here for me. Yeah. This is my sense. I'm like, I'm not paying you. You're paying me. Let's do this. It's just a mode. Like your brain, you just get in the mode. Yeah. Yeah. And that, so I was just like, well, everyone's fine why would you ask but literally everyone is fine i have a uh i have a weighty question to begin things with it is not related to today's subject but it keeps coming up and and we've we've said a couple of times hey we should ask wendy about this and we keep forgetting to ask yeah um but we had this really common thing come up with one of our answer come up with one of brian's recent quizzes yeah i had a question about uh who did you have a crush on what cartoon character

did you have a crush on growing up yeah and a lot of people said bugs bunny in drag so the question is for you what do you make of that as a professional mental health expert what do you think that's all about there you know what my first thought was that would people would say jessica rabbit and they did that was jessica rabbit was number one but uh and then bugs bunny and drag is looks a lot like Jessica rabbit maybe oh maybe I just think it's the type right you think there's a rabbit there may be a rabbit thing like a um like rabbits are inherently voluptuous voluptuous the word you're thinking first word I think of what I hear the term rabbit is voluptuous

Yeah tricks are for kids Have you heard what the sound rabbits make? Yeah it's great They do like They screech Oh I'm thinking of something else Yeah Oh I got to find this

Is that true? I didn't know this They scream? Are they distressed when they scream or what? I don't know Okay so rabbit scream sound here we go. We're going to find this. We're going to play it. Here we go. Just for funzies. Here's a scream

of a rabbit. Okay. It's not. All right. Here's a rabbit. He's walking. He didn't make a sound at all. All right. How about this one? That's pretty screaming. Wow. Yeah. They are not

sex objects. Okay. Oh, poor thing. I just want to go hold him. All right. I know. See, maybe that's... What are you doing to that poor rabbi? I know. So what does it mean, though? Do you think it's any big deal?

I don't think it means anything. I think it means you're a young kid, you're watching... I mean, people's sexuality awakens as they watch characters on TVs and movies. That happens. I knew I was heterosexual when Sean Aston gave his speech in Goonies about it's our time down here. Really? I thought he was... So cute. And let me be clear, the last time I thought that about anyone in a movie. I mean, I can see that people are attractive, but I am not like, I have no fandom that way at all. But I remember thinking, Sean asked him with those braces. He's cute. You're one of the three women in existence who see Pedro Pascal and don't get all swoony about him or anything. Not at all, but I want to be his friend bad. I would love to have him in my life. He seems like a pretty, he seems like a nice guy. I always thought Tom Cruise was weird looking and people think.

thought something was wrong with me. Yeah, that's that big tooth in the middle. Is the tooth in the middle? He's got that big tooth. It's more common for people to not find Tom Cruise attractive. There's a lot more of that. Yeah, but back in the day, I was, I felt alone. I felt alone.

Well, there's, there's an actress that both Brian and I like and think is attractive. She's way too young for us, but Anna Daarmus is now dating Tom Cruise. She's 36. He's 62. That's a big jump there, Mr. Cruz. I mean, you're, she's beautiful. and everything. Good luck to you, I guess. But keep that Scientology out of the dinner conversations. Okay?

Anyway. Gross. Anyway, I think people, I don't think it has, I mean, are you asking, is it like, are people actually attracted to cartoons? Or is it the trans thing? Or are you, where are you? I don't know. What are you actually asking?

I don't really know. Like, is it, because I think there's something to that. Like if a boy says, oh, yeah, when I was 12, for some reason, I thought, Bugs Bunny and Dr. drag was sexy and I've never been able to shake it. Does that mean I'm one of the gays? The kid says, the kid says. Mildly humblephobic.

Yeah. No, if you think about this scale, like, look at the Kinsey scale or, you know, the sexuality thing. You're sort of, it's not all or nothing and all over the map, right? And it doesn't immediately mean that you're, that you're anything, right? Yeah. Which actually leads really well to what we're talking about today. Oh, really? Didn't even mean to do that.

Yeah, because it's not actually about that topic per se, but this identity thing. Because I'm going to ask, we started talking about happiness a little bit last week. I wanted to continue with this idea of one thing people can do to increase their happiness. But it has to do with your identity. So, okay, so I would say you look around, I'm trying to tie it into the cartoon, you're deciding what your identity is based on your attraction. reaction to something, right? And how often identity is important for a variety of reasons. It's

important psychologically for development. And it comes probably from the core of needing to know your safe in your tribe or your culture or society. And there's just some ego consolidation that needs to occur a little bit. And so I am a person who likes these things or I am from this country, I speak this language, like ways we differentiate and delineate people. And we do it internally a lot. So let's, let me just ask you guys a couple basic ones. Then I'm going to get to the actual topic. But what are some identity labels that you feel really comfortable with? Like you identify as, not you're told you identify as. Sure. You know what I mean? Easy going. Is this the kind of thing you're looking for?

Yeah, I mean, I don't know if there's an identity officially called easygoing, but I like personality wise, like I, yes, but keep going into more even more distinct categories. Okay, so. You consider yourself a man. Yeah, I guess what you're saying you're, they don't have to be necessarily gender based, but it can be, I don't know, maybe that maybe that is kind of what we're doing. I, okay, yeah, I'm in the. you would call me cis now that's what you call these days but I'm a heterosexual

man it's all I got it's all I got okay very good very good you're a dad dad sure grandpa husband husband father what else is there

yeah I mean those are do you feel that like like I'm from Daybreak. I'm a daybreak resident. Like does that? Oh, that's interesting. I'm from Colorado. Like, do you guys feel the vibe with that? I get that. Brian, Brian, I'm anxious to hear what Brian says about this, but I think I do this a lot on the show and sometimes I do it for show reasons. But I am my proud Utah. I like, I really like it here. And I, and I tend to be pretty positive about the state, generally speaking, but then also tell people not to come here because our prices are too high. So there is some of that of my identity. I think that's true. Is that true of you, Brian, with Colorado?

Both a proud Colorado and a proud Arvaden. You know, I'm proud of what our city does, what it represents, how it treats its residents. And same with Colorado. Okay, cool. That's interesting. I really thought about locational identity. That's interesting. I mean, obviously there's national identity and, you know, Claire.

Have you met a Texan? Like, what are you talking? Oh, I know, dude, right? They're out of consult. Some of the Texans I know are less so that way. But yes, you can get pretty. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so there's location.

There's like actual characteristics about you or, you know, like family. People can identify like, I'm a Dunford and we have donuts, you know? Yeah. So, and the reason this leads to what I'm going to say about happiness, I think not feeling close. identified with a thing that makes you proud can be difficult for folks. So sometimes when you see like fandom for a band or a sports team or whatever it is, like it is identity grounding behavior. And we do that and we actually do better and actually find more joy when we have that. So when when someone is, you know, identity politics is often where we're fighting about other

people's identities in the end, right? And swiping at somebody at that core level is really rough, especially if they're in the minority, because it is so crucial to a sense of self and belonging and all those things. Why do we do? Why do we feel so threatened? Why do the royal we? Because I'm not at all. Somebody is gay, trans, I don't care how they identify. It doesn't affect me. It doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me. it doesn't make me, the only thing I get nervous about is that I'm saying something wrong and I don't want people to be sad because I said it wrong. Right.

But for the most part, I've never understood like the visceral reaction people have like, you are different, therefore, blah, blah, blah. And they got all this judgment for them and they want to limit what they can be or do or say. And I don't understand that any more than I understand being upset because someone chose to be Batman at Comic-Con versus someone chose to be Superman at Comic-Con. It's like, I don't care. that it has zero impact on what I am or who I am. So why is everyone so bugged by that stuff?

Exactly. Well, you know, that's why do people feel threatened when it's something that doesn't even apply to them and is not, you know, doesn't change the trajectory of their life whatsoever, but they feel like they can choose the trajectory. Do they think it will affect them? Is that why? I do think they think it will. I also think the unknown scary, this is where that tribalism, sort of comes in and the perception that, like, if your identity is, and I won't label

anyone here, but your identity is that you're persecuted and that everyone's out to get you because you can't say Merry Christmas anymore, right? Right. Then your perception of your groups underdoggedness or identity being threatened, that's part of the DNA. And so you're going to perceive all the things as confirming that. So we're going to talk about confirmation bias a little bit, but that is, it's confirming this important part of what you were raised and trained to think in your, in your group, right?

And then you just like do the actual math and see that literally nobody's persecuting you for the things you're claiming they're being persecuted for, right? So then you're reactive to that. This is war, guys. We're describing at the core is why two groups of people cannot get along. By the way, we're watching the foundation of the family. Oh, dude, I'm watching that. I'm catching up right now, in fact.

It's so good. I need to watch it myself. Yeah. The wars and the differences. First season's a little weird, but I think season two is so solid. It's so good. Is it? Okay, but we're in season one, and I love it.

Yeah, no, it's great. I mean, I think you'll get a love it no matter what. The problem is, I came to it with some bias because the books, the trilogy, the original trilogy, it's all based on, A, is they had to make a bunch of differences, which is normal for adaptations, but that is such a dense source material is so, it's almost impossible to get through. Like, reading those books is really hard. And I think that season was just, like, emblematic. I felt like I was being too sensitive to where I saw them make concessions for story to simplify things that in the book are ridiculously complex and crazy. Yeah, because you could never actually portray. I just think season two, they just really get into a groove, and it's just really great for there.

Anyway, it's super fun. But it's such a great illustration of this, right? And over various planets and planetary systems and thousands of years. Anyway, but that is at the core, this identity deal, right? It's like when you ask anyone who their geographical enemy is, like almost every country has one where they're, It's, you know, it's Sweden and Norway. They don't go to war, but they make fun of each other, right? Like, we're the playful rival, rival, like, you know, how we all feel about Florida

kind of thing. Yeah, a little bit. Like, collectively we feel that way with Florida. In Minnesota, we feel that way about Wisconsin. So I love to just talk about how great Wisconsin is just to make people mad. It's really funny. Anyway, but that's just a human, it's a human thing. Okay, so now we're going to segue to how this makes us happy.

We just illustrated how it can make. you're really unhappy, right? Where you are, you're so blinded to anyone else's need for identity and it feels like it is a threat to yours when it truly isn't. And I think it's because they believe everything will change on them. And then it just confirms that we're being persecuted. That's one particular version of that, right? But you can see this within the LGBTQ community as well like bisexual folks and have not been treated well by anybody right as if like well you're just kid do it everyone's attractive to you that's not you know whatever the the area is you're going to find people having identity disagreements and it's so deep in us that it it's uh yeah it starts

worse okay i think i've made my point all right so now let's go to the happy part of this So the happy part is, let me start with this. I'm just going to ask you a question and you're going to answer briefly and then we're going to talk about why this is important. So let's start with this. Do you believe you are lucky or unlucky? I don't necessarily believe, okay, so I don't believe in luck or fate or destiny or things like that. However, in the grand sense of things, there are elements of my life that I feel

very lucky to have. I'm lucky to have in the fortunate sort of way, right? Yeah. I'm lucky to have met Tina and fallen in love with her and married her. I'm lucky to have a job where I can do the thing that I love and make money from it. I'm lucky, you know, to be doing TMS. But I wouldn't say that that happened because a flip of the coin could have easily have made it go to. the other way kind of thing if that makes sense so really quick hashtag bless brian i'm so happy for you but do you consider yourself lucky or not oh i'm sorry your original question that i did i not answer your question what you wanted me to yes or no do you think you're lucky or do you would you consider yourself not no i i don't consider myself lucky in the yeah yeah hashtag bless we got that

part that's good got you too hashtag bless but do you feel lucky do you feel like you're a lucky person or non-lucky person. I love how I just can picture Clint Eastwood asking me this. Do you feel lucky punk? Yeah, do you feel lucky punk? Did you have five shots or six? I feel like no, I don't think so. Basically everything Brian just said, I would say. Yeah. And that so all the hashtag blessed stuff I agree with. And then when it comes to actual like luck like defining luck as like it happens randomly and you just easily happen to somebody else but you're lucky

so this happened to you yeah and it keeps happening to me so I must be therefore lucky yeah yeah I don't think I am no okay all right so guess what people who think they're lucky they're just like way happier yeah are they is this I can imagine people happier than me I'm pretty damn yeah yeah you're pretty happy Brian even likes to he likes to gamble and he knows the odds and so even as a person doesn't believe in the luck of those odds. Exactly. You still, you're playing the odds and you understand the science of the odds. That's different than I'm on a roll of a day. Blow on the dice.

It's not like that. Exactly. No, if I, I know that if I win, it's because the dice rolled that way as they're going to do one out of every seven times. And so I won versus playing the average. I'm due. I pulled this slot machine handle for 100 times and not won. So I'm due for winning because I'm lucky. Yeah. So maybe my definition of luck is weird.

So you're saying that people that identify as lucky are happier. So explain that because that's wild to me. And they are luckier. So let me explain. And here's the thing. Nobody's got to go walk around and wear a lucky t-shirt and pronounce themselves lucky all the time and like their life's going to drastically improve or they won't be depressed anymore. But we have some fun information about just identifying yourself as lucky has like an impact

a little bit here. Okay. So there's this experiment. It's like 15 years old, but it's still pretty great. And there was a newspaper. Everyone got the same newspaper. You break them into the lucky people who say they're lucky and consider themselves pretty lucky and those who consider themselves unlucky, okay? They're reading the exact same paper

and they, the newspaper, they're supposed to count how many photos it had in it. So on average, people who considered themselves unlucky took around two minutes to count the pictures. And lucky people took two seconds because they spotted, and this is wild, they spotted at the top of the message, it was on the top half of the second page, two inch high letters that said stop counting, there are 43 photographs in this newspaper. And the lucky people just were more likely to see it, stop counting and say.

Doesn't that just make them more less distracted, more perceptive? Yeah, more attentive to. Because by that definition, Brian's lucky because he reads. instructions on his quizzes he goes to. You know what I mean? I know. I hear what you're saying. You're like,

hey, if everyone just read instructions, but this is on the second paper, like it's written. It's obvious. What happens is, okay, so what happens is they'd win the money immediately,

right? Two seconds later, they have the money. They won. But the people consider themselves lucky were just more likely to see that there were two different messages than there that told you,

right? One said stop counting and the photos. Sure. Okay. Point being that your self-perception sometimes is what is determining what you're seeing in the world, right? So this is where that confirmation bias shows up, right? So it's one of the weird ways our brains work and it is like we're going to see evidence that confirms our belief. So if you see something and it's either going to confirm you're unlucky or you're lucky, right? Or if you see that your sibling is lucky and you're not, okay, how about that? you're going to remember every time they got something and every time you missed out. So it's confirming your existing bias. Does that make sense?

Yes, so far. I think I'm with you. So the point is just to be careful how you label yourself. Right? As I asked you guys to label yourselves, you could see you were like, oh, well, I mean, I don't think about it, right? Like, you're not like, I'm a Cubs fan. Like, it's not immediate. right like there's you're maybe not hanging on to it by by a thread and then looking for

everywhere to get your cubs fandom met necessarily yeah so the idea being that so many people and you talk to them they will refer to themselves as unlucky yeah or bad things happen to me or that type of thing feels like a horrible way to to live right because you will literally find all the things that make you unlucky you'll be you'll be looking for exactly and we'll just further like you say confirmation by us it will further push you and like oh that happened because I'm unlucky yeah yeah like I'm convinced I will never win like a raffle or when you draw a name out of a hat a lottery that none of that will ever happen to me I've been saying that out loud to myself my whole life I never win never win those I never win

those guess what guys I probably have you probably have don't remember them right well they weren't very good or they weren't so that's kind of the idea now I This is not like, hey, you don't need therapy and meds because you now are just walking yourself lucky, but it is interesting. So I don't know if anyone in the chat could just, like, do a quick poll. How many people think they're lucky versus unlucky? And then I'm going to tell you how to think of yourself as luckier. Okay.

Yeah, type lucky or not lucky in the chat, kind of like you do when we play the opening music and you type TM and S. Oh, right. do an official sure um yeah i like this somebody's gonna type plucky uh we're getting some lucky some non-lucky some neutral oh interesting there's a lot of luckies yeah zohy did you mean to say less than lucky because she did the less than sign and then lucky i assume so or her name is less than lucky or something yeah uh not lucky plucky some people are plucky Plucky's great.

I mean, I should be clear about something. Bad luck happens everyone. Bad things happen, you know, it's how we react to them and view them is what's different, right? We all get bad stuff, but how we respond to be different, right? So this confirmation bias, so we have all these sort of cognitive biases happening all the time, and this is one that maybe you could use to your advantage, right?

So if you already feel lucky, if you've written in the chat that you feel lucky, Think of the most recent time you felt like you had luck, right? So we have a flat tire leaving Arches National Park, you know, 30 minutes into the drive, and we're on a two-lane highway with semis going a million miles an hour, and it's 98 degrees outside. And our rental car tire number is just dropping, and we are freaking out. And all of a sudden, I'm zooming on my phone to try to find where we can stop. and the next left is the Moab Airport.

Oh, man. And we pull in and the tire goes five, four, three, two, one. In the parking space. Yeah. And we are freaking out. Yeah, we're breathing heavy. And we look up and there's an enterprise, which is where we rented the car from. Yeah.

At the Moab Airport. We get out in an air-conditioned, bathroom with snacks. And I was like, I cannot believe how long. lucky we are like this is crazy that is your reaction yeah you everybody I think everybody would feel a sense that this was really lucky yeah yeah like so grateful and so lucky and then hilariously we're on the phone with Enterprise we're talking to person they counter and they're like you have to talk to the Salt Lake Airport blah blah blah and the big guy goes we don't have a place we don't have there is no enterprise at the Moab airport we're like uh we're really lucky because

we're standing in it it was wild like they had The dude did not have record it existed. And we were like, see, we're even luckier. So that is a great example of like, it's hard not to have that confirm my bias of luck. If I think I'm lucky and then that happens, right? Right. Yeah. Same could have happened.

We get a flat tire pull over someone helps us. We could have seen that as lucky. All of these things could also be seen as bad luck, right? And some of this, we have this natural tendency. So those who have written lucky, think about your most recent lucky experience. It might just be confirmation bias because you already see things as fairly lucky or good. And then others, you might be confirming the bias of bad things happen to me, et cetera. Right, right.

All right. So here's how we're going to, these are just ideas of how to make yourself luckier. Just to be clear, this really did happen to you in July when you were here. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. Jeez. I'm we so lucky.

I heard you had to switch rental cars, but I didn't know the story. That's why. Yeah, that's why. Okay. All right. And then we get in the new car. I can't, 48 more things happened on that trip. Like a huge tree falling down and crashing at our Airbnb.

Did it make the sound? It made so much sound. We all thought we were going to die. But no one died. So lucky, you know, stuff like that. I mean, we're on this crazy property and this just giant tree collapses after a hundred years of life. And all of us were fine. So again, lucky, right?

But if it had hit something, we had so many unlucky things happened that made us think we were lucky. So that's kind of it, right? Bad things are going to happen in life. Tricky things come up. How do we perceive it? Okay. So this is just, this is supposed to be a fun topic, by the way, everyone. I don't, I'm not sitting with my clients being like, let's make you luckier.

I just like how it ties into, you know, there's some fun research on it and that ties into this idea of what if confirmation by has helped us instead of her. us, you know. Okay, so here's some ideas of how to increase the luck in your life. All right. Okay. Number one, working on being skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities. So this can include like nurturing your network of friends and colleagues who can expose you to more opportunities, right? So you are noticing, but you're also working towards having more of them. Does that make sense? Yeah. But you got to notice. Notice is key. So if you are saying to yourself, everyone else is blah, that's the opposite. I want to talk about.

Right. You're only noticing the bat when things don't go your way. What I don't have or my lack. Yeah. So starting to pay attention. And so everyone can think of right now, what is something right today that you have a chance to do or an opportunity because somebody in your life made that possible? I'm on this show because my brother started his cult, however many years ago.

And now you have me come on. Yeah, his cult. You know what I mean? Like, I am so lucky to be here because you created this opportunity for me, right? Sure. So everyone else think about it. What is something you have noticed an opportunity or something? Because someone in your life made it possible for you.

I can write it in the chat or you guys could share one. I'm trying to think. For me, for me. for me I mean I getting to interview Howard Jones because you've already impressed

the hell out of Wendy just now she loves Howard Jones huge fan oh yeah because one of the guys from backbeat set it up for me like that kind of thing like yeah yeah because that's a you networked away into getting the thing exactly having the right

contacts in place and being aware of opportunities and yeah but you weren't like a pushy dude just looking for that opportunity you you did the things that built the opportunity right exactly by the way tell you not tom jones howard jones however jones although that would be awesome she just posted uh she just posted isn't unusual no it's not unusual yeah that would be awesome though tom jones interview would be cool tom jones would be great too okay i got a good one uh i wouldn't have known so many opportunities came out of starting the instance when I did and then building friendships within the industry. And now I've got people scattered all over the games industry that I just talk to all the time. Sometimes in actual, you know, meaningful

interviews that did really well for us or just friendships in places that I wouldn't have normally had. I think that's another good example of that. Yeah, very cool. Okay, so everyone noticed in your life the opportunities that are created because you have nurtured. You have nurtured networks of friends and colleagues. Sure. And are just nice, decent person, honestly, half the time. Okay. Is what it takes. Okay. So number two, make lucky decisions by listening to your intuition. So let's think about that for a second. Your gut tells you something and you follow it often leads to luck, right? Or luck leads to something good.

So it may be, I should help that person who's struggling with like their grocery bags and that's falling down and, you know, whatever. And so you think you should and then you talk yourself out of it and go live your day. That is not creating luck people. That is, that's denying your intuition, right? But going and helping that person, you're going to feel good at minimum. And they're going to feel good and feel like they're not alone in the world. At maximum, you don't know the impact that it's going to have or what will happen to you, right?

But luck does not happen because you got in your car and spent away by ignoring your intuition. So think about that for a second, everybody. When was the last time you listened to your intuition, you followed your gut feeling, and a good thing happens, or a bad thing was maybe prevented. I stopped a house fire because I smelled burning wood. Yes. that's less intuition though and more that was nasal ability I agree I agree I couldn't walk out nasal ability yeah it was super power um oh gosh in like basically purely on intuition that's a tough one because um oh I got I got one yeah so I reached

out to um a listener they don't even I don't think they listen to any of the stuff now but somebody I knew years and years ago who was always interacting via email just kind of back and forth um and i it just the other day had this feeling and i don't think it comes from anything supernatural but i had this feeling of like yeah i reach out and see if that person's doing okay like it's just been so long yeah and and i kind of miss that interaction and it's been so busy i don't think about it until suddenly i'm thinking about this person and i reached out to him and it happened to catch him luckily in quotes uh at a moment they they kind of needed that and was a big deal for them and it turns out they were listening and had hung around they just weren't as active in

the community and and part of the stuff they needed some help with was the reason that they weren't as involved as they used to be and so this was like a moment of like oh man you don't know what it means to have you do that it felt really good to have been able to do that based purely on just like this weird gut feeling about a name i haven't mentioned in six seven years and i just went yeah i should reach out and see and this a little bit based on something you said not long ago Wendy, where you just, I can't remember the context, but you encouraged this kind of thing. Maybe it was last week even. And that's, and that's partly what led to the intuition.

But it was like, reach out and just reach out and touch people a little bit. You know, like let them know. Just let them know you're thinking about them that you, that hope they're well. How's it going? I'm talking to you in a while, you know, stuff like that. That's where that came from. And it worked out great. I don't, you know, I never once went, oh, this is a, I've, I've,

sure feel lucky for doing that today but now that but in the context you're talking about i suppose that's what this is it's lucky yeah right and the timing for him was really lucky right like yeah it was pretty lucky brian did you have one that you've done recently or yeah brian you got one not really nothing like that that's that's a um i don't i don't feel like i act on intuition knowingly there might be there might be things that i do that that i do based on intuition that I don't realize I'm doing based on intuition but um yeah I feel like I'm an intuitive person I feel like I pick up on on things but I don't feel like and and good things happen probably due to that or you're in a position to be helpful or some other things just not always conscious

right sometimes you don't know what's happening you don't need a lot of of urging by your gut maybe I don't yes yeah boy he's evolved everyone okay okay right I thought we'd cover that in previous weeks. Yeah, we know Brian's perfect. So move on. Okay, number three, number three, with create, this is, this is maybe something no one's thought about when you hear these words, but create a self-fulfilling prophecy via positive expectations. Yeah. We're so good.

We have a negative bias, right? Yeah. We have this terrible thing that could happen. And then we sometimes unconsciously create, that's the definition of the self-fulfilling prophecy, right? Yeah. Almost always, always a negative connotation, almost always with that. Right. You're like, oh, you're going to, you think the end times are here.

Well, you're going to go ahead and bomb yourself so that we finally wipe ourselves like that feels like the only context I ever think of that in. Yeah, yeah. So apparently we can switch around and let's do it. Try to practice doing it with positive. Okay. And then the last one is adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good. So kind of the idea of retelling or reframing the story. So a big piece of therapy and why it's helpful is people are on like a track in their head

and they cannot frame, they're framing something totally negative. And then a neutral outsider can go, oh, but can you see that? And they're like, what? And it's reframing the entire negative experience as maybe a really important part of your story or a step to a healthier relationship or you name it. like being able to reframe bad luck into good is a superpower and something you can actually practice. So often we just don't know how things will end.

And so it's hard for us to trust that a good outcome is coming. It's easier for us to trust a bad outcome is coming. That is the evolutionary survival response, right? But you can actually practice this and say what? We'll see. We'll see. So to be careful, I'm not telling everyone to have fake Pollyanna language in their head and be like, it's fine. Right.

But to actually, the work of this is to override some deep seed of biology and some neural pathways you've burned into groups, right? But it is finding like, huh, what is the silver lining? We have words for this culturally, right? What's the silver lining? What is the way this thing that happened was great? My brain does this pretty quickly. So the airport situation with the tire, we get a new car, we get in the car. And my brain played out a billion different ways.

We just avoided disaster. And then I do this thing where I will look for a car accident ahead of us and think, well, we miss that because of the flat tire. See, that's really good. I do everything up. I do everything well up to where you said, and then I. I do a really good job of saying, like, if I was in that car situation, I would go, oh, man, when's the other shoe going to drop? Because we, we dodged that bullet.

Oh, my gosh. I hope nothing else. Like, I don't think then, oh, well, the guy up in front of us, you know, tire blew off and killed an old lady or whatever. I don't think of those things. Yeah. Or how much, you know, how lucky we really were. I think more about, like, this isn't sustainable.

Something else is going to fall. I do that a lot. Right, right. And that's the natural negativity bias that is, you know, part of why we struggle with anxiety or we struggle with, you know, the people who survived are not the ones who were all happy go lucky. They got killed a long time ago, right? And so you can, though, shift it.

And so maybe don't be stupid about it, right? That guy offering me drugs off the street is just a friend, you know? I don't mean be ridiculous. But you can reframe something, like, listen, not winning the lottery is the best luck you could have. And I'm telling you, go read one book or one story about someone who's won the lottery. You do not want to trade them. Watch one Twilight Zone episode. Exactly.

Exactly. But do we think that way? No, we think, oh, I've found out because I didn't win again. But really, man, you have been spared one more time, quit playing the lottery. Okay. So, I mean, hopefully this is as fun as I meant it to be, but just this idea that you can, you can tweak some things and feel just like genuinely a little better. And if you're feeling really cynical about all of this, I dare you to try it. Yeah, there you go.

I dare you. And I don't know, today was, today was good for me because of the definition of lucky isn't exactly what I was thinking it was. you know like the definition that that uh we have from dirty harry is literally do you think this is the empty hole in my gun gauge with the one that in the chamber with no bullet or do you think it's one of the other four chances that there's a bullet there that's the kind of luck that is just happenstance no control it's either in there or it isn't what you're talking about is different and i hadn't thought of it that way before so i mean i know it's all words at the end of the day, but I'm going to try to think of that more often, moving forward.

A whole word. Yeah. Well, that was a weird sound. I heard it sound like a lightsaber suddenly went on fire. Yeah. You got a weird cable thing going there. I clicked off a, I clicked out of the website I was looking out. Was it that?

It could have been. I don't know. You got some thin cables. Who knows? Either way, that all went great. People integrate that into your lives and think more about being lucky and the way we defined it today. In the meantime, check out No Better You.com.

Where are you can sign on. up for emails and notifications about upcoming stuff, courses, all that sort of thing. Anything in there you want to mention, Wendy? Yeah, it's, I need one more week to talk intelligibly about it. So, give me your email. Yeah, yeah, give your information for free and trust that Wendy will use it wisely. She will. Luckily, she will.

Yeah. Luck will follow you. All right, have a fantastic week, and we will see you next time. Bye now. All right. Good stuff. Brian, we are at the point of the show where we have to mention a couple of things. One, pinnacle.

It is the pinnacle of this show. We're going to play an old man pronounce, or old man voice mashup thing that Jamie did. Okay. All right. Gotcha. I know where it's coming. Yeah, it's good stuff. Us doing old man voices.

We'll see if it's as entertaining as it sounds. These are some old ones. So this is a bit of a throwback. And at least five. Old man voice. Based on the initial clip. it sounds like it's at least six years old, but... Oh, God.

Okay. Let's find out. 50-year-old podcasters. Holy shit. No one does that. Look at what Justin Bieber did today. Jason Bieber. I love that Jason Bieber.

When he was young, he was such a troublemaker. Who would have ever thought he'd grow up to be Prime Minister of Canada? Great. Hey, that was about the time I was getting sick of podcasting, and he came back. I was so good looking when I was younger. You know, uh, Air Bancroft? Yeah. I hit that.

Oh, who did you know? Paul Newman was a butthole. Damn it, he pissed a bird. He burned shit bastard. Look at him. He's just looking at me in the front window. Government's not going to help me. I can see him.

I'm going to lose all my money unless I turn it into gold. I'm never going to get this catheter tube inserted without some lubricant. What do I do? No. Okay, now what? We've seen every film ever made. My biggest complaint about this film was that it was too loud. I didn't understand any of it.

I had to pee eight times during this. Back in my day, I had my own nipples. Hell, I'm getting them from the machine. That makes no sense to me. Where are my pills? It's too loud. I started watching that straight out of Compton. It was too loud for me.

My hearing's bad as a little. it is. An ice cube is kind of a dick. This internet thing's not going to last. They're going to come crawling back and what's the first letter they're going to look for? A. MC is what they're going to look for. I don't know what this better call Saul is, but it's making this

money. So keep making whatever that is. Wait a minute. That's Lenny. From Laverne and Shirley. What's he doing on here? Why is he afraid of outside? Why not just pull down to your bears and knuckle it up, you know? Do they need to get naked? Well, you know, just shirts off.

Good old-fashioned. What kind of, I mean, listen, I know that you guys out in the Mountain West have your own frontier spirit. But I didn't know everybody had to get balls naked. There's only one way we can solve this. Well, we did that a lot more than I remember doing that. No kidding. Wow. Jeez, Louises.

That was a throwback. Well, thank you, Jamie, for that. I held it until Brian got here. I appreciate that. Thank you. It was meant for earlier in the week. but it's no fun hearing that on my own. No, no.

So anyway, thank you so much for that, Jamie. We love these things. Keep those coming. A quick note. A coverville, not today. There will be a coverville, not today. Not today, Satan. Nope, but there will be a guest to connection tomorrow after TMS Friday.

And a daily music headlines will be for TMS Friday. That's right. So you patrons be here for TMS Friday, as Brian mentioned, 9-8M Mountain Time. It'll be live.

For the most of you, it's not going to make any difference. Live people, you'll still be here. Everybody listen at home. You'll still get your content. All your guest hosts will be here. Everything's happening. there's just some changes. Johnson pole.

Johnson pull. Listen to that, Johnson, getting pulled. I can't believe I went. I shouldn't have done that. Yeah, you did. I regret it. Audio listeners, you kind of lucked out there. You dodged a bullet.

Yeah, you know what? The first time you don't have a visual for the thing we're describing, it's good for you that you didn't see it. Anyway, we're going to take our leave. Brian, let's play a song on our way out of here. Yes, this one is going out to Dr. Nicky, who says, Hi, Sacre and Blue. July 27th is my 32nd birthday.

I'll be celebrating with my family in France, eating dinner at a really long table in the garden, like in the movies. So I may not hear this right away. Anywho, want to play something French-related? No ska, no reggae. Thanks for all the silliness you bring to us all. I can't wait to see you in SLC and lead what will probably be the best nature walk yet. Please butcher the following.

Pocontre, never vote on a mission. I'm glad Brian did it because I can't do those. I don't think I got maybe one word right there. Hugs and weird cheek kisses from Dr. Nicky.

You don't look at Day over 25. So true. So true. So, Dr. Nicky, another fun discovery from America's Next Top podcaster, by the way.
