Starting point is 00:01:07 Oh, my. All right. That'll be funny why I tell you. I chose that one in a minute. Hey, everybody. Welcome to the morning stream. This is TMS for Monday, June 8th, 2000, and 26. I'm Scott Johnson.
Starting point is 00:01:25 That's Brian Nid, but he's back. He's back, baby. Back in Colorado for two days. And then back out to Salt Lake City. Yeah, and I'm sure your two days are no prep involved. just chilling. None whatsoever. I will tell you that we had
Starting point is 00:01:39 Uncle George and Ann Barb over yesterday and I playtested all three games of All-Stars to just make sure time-wise, because we've got a very, you know, we've got a very tight schedule for an attack, and I want to make sure that things fit. And so
Starting point is 00:01:55 things fit, I'm going to need to keep you guys on track. Totally fine. You don't have Veronica there to yell about your rules. Everything will be okay. I'm going to have other, I'm going to have several other people there to yell about my rules because yeah, I think there's one question in particular
Starting point is 00:02:11 I'm like, oh, somebody's really going to have a problem with this. Really? Yeah, yeah. Well, it won't be me. I'm going to be super affable and ready to rock. Ladies and gentlemen, I have a special announcement to make. We are joined by a very special guest, a 22-year-old friend. Sounds like
Starting point is 00:02:27 you're 22. Someone I've known for 22 years joining us on the show. You hear him every day. Ladies and gentlemen, Scott Fletcher. Oh, hello. Oh, hello. I didn't see you standing there. Do you like that I used your weird blooper burp version of the intro?
Starting point is 00:02:41 Yeah. I sent those on purpose. Okay. There wasn't a mistake when I sent them. Yeah, whenever I have this giant pile and some I still haven't used or converted or changed or tweaked or added that I just, I've got probably more clips of you saying things than anyone else. I think so.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Yeah. No, I've known you since what did we decide? 2004. Mm-hmm. And over that period of time, and I have a whole file, I need to just get you the dump of the files, but I have a thousand audio files. Oh, my gosh. That's been made for one thing or another. You have a thousand of those?
Starting point is 00:03:16 Yeah. Anytime. I'd love to mine that gold. Okay. I'd mine that hill. I think you're using the best of them. Don't get me wrong. They're not all salad.
Starting point is 00:03:24 They're not all burps. They're not nearly as high quality as the one you just heard. I see. Well, it's lovely that you're joining us today. The Fletchers are in town a little early, and then they're not. They're going to go down to St. George, my favorite Utah destination. I'm going to see some friends. Yes.
Starting point is 00:03:40 You know, this is very, I don't know if you know this. Is it the best Taco Bell? Yeah. Oh, yeah, they have the best Taco Bell down there. That is the truth. Yeah. So if you're getting hungry for Taco Bell, not saying you should or even, there are millions of other reasons there to eat.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Definitely not saying you should. Yeah. But if you're like, man, Taco Bell sounds good. Their, their Taco Bell right there at the entrance of town on the main boulevard is the best Taco Bell I've ever eaten at. We're doing it then. Okay. Are you going to try it?
Starting point is 00:04:06 All right. Christine's putting it on the list. She looked really happy about it. Yeah, she did. Big, big fan of the Taco Bell, are we? You know what, honey? What we should do is come all the way to Utah to go to Taco Bell. Damn straight.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Damn straight. All other Taco Bells I would avoid, by the way. It's just this one in St. George. Just that's. Done specific. And I think Brian's got one and you got one in Denver you like, right? The one close to us is good. Yeah, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:04:32 I mean, it's nothing compared to the one. that I worked at the night in the late 1980s in 1986 and 87 where boy that place was immaculate because of me. Really? Yeah, you want a clean taco. Well, the one by my office, I go to virtually every day. I pay extra sometimes for a clean talk. Got to go over state lines for it.
Starting point is 00:04:53 That's right. Yes. Anyway, sorry. Scott Fletcher, yes? No, no. I love Taco Bell because I go there so frequently that all I have to do is they say, how are using the app today? And I say, no, I'll have two avocato ranch chicken stackers.
Starting point is 00:05:08 And then they say, oh, and do you want to round up and fire sauce? Oh, yeah. They know me. They know you by name. So this, you do need to go to this one then. Okay. Because you've had your hometown experience. Now you need to have the St. George experience.
Starting point is 00:05:23 I am prepared to be flabbergasted. In 103 degree weather or so. It's nice and hot. Yeah. Nice and hot down there. Oh, yeah. Oh, my gosh. Although, I got good news on the weather front here in Salt Lake.
Starting point is 00:05:34 City as we lean into Nerdtacular this week, it's going to be dropping, not right, or going up. So we should be enjoying like 70s through 80s. We shouldn't crest 90 while anyone's here. That's going to be awesome for a bunch of nerds that are all going to be inside for 48 hours. Yeah. There'll be some walking. Yeah, there'll be some walking around, doing some stuff.
Starting point is 00:05:55 That's true. Yes. Going out, getting some dinner somewhere at night and all that. Yeah. I just happy to have you here, man. and in true fashion, whenever Fletcher joins the studio, you're welcome to pipe up anytime. If you hear any misinformation,
Starting point is 00:06:12 if you hear any, I don't know, stuff that either of us says that just doesn't sit right with you. I'll set the record straight. Okay. All right. We're all in this together, everybody. The man, the myth of legend, Scott Fletcher joined me. I'm just over here being the ad, McMahon.
Starting point is 00:06:28 I'll keep my mouth shut unless it's funny. You are. Correct, sir. Oh, and just for fun, since she is here, we're going to play this. Shitoutiluck.com. There you go. Perfect. Shitouteluck.com.
Starting point is 00:06:43 On our favorite clips, permanent rotation, we love it. Plus, we still forget to mention names a lot. We do. No, it's a good, and it's a good reminder, and it's also a good clip to play when we forget to mention names. Yeah, I'm going to be using it, even in live, if we have a problem. If anyone doesn't remember something. I got it all covered. All right, quick note, next week or this week, I keep saying next week, it's happening this week.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Yeah. Thursday night, we have kind of like these off track things, and then we have the main track of stuff, which starts on Friday. But on Thursday, there's a few things. There's me Dunaway and Tee's Travis watching old cartoons for Watch Retro. And then there's going to be an episode of Gore with our very own Monica. Live. Yeah. And she wanted me to let people know that they're going to be talking about Poultergeist, the one that we all grew up.
Starting point is 00:07:33 with the first one and there if you want to prep ahead if you're coming to that it's going to be a little bit of a later show so some of you people with kids may not be there I don't know but it'll be after the meet and greet and stuff it's up on the schedule but anyway if you are interested in kind of like you do with film sack you want to see the movie before we talk about it so you know what people are talking about and all that stuff yeah I'm pretty sure it's actually I don't know where it's streaming it's streaming on prime video looks like oh good nope no yes streaming on video. Excellent. That's perfect. Because everyone has Prime. Even if
Starting point is 00:08:07 we don't want it. That's right. We have it. Anyway, please, if you would prepare for it, because I'm excited about them and their show. It's going to be great. All right. Let's see if our pal Brian Dunaway has joined us. Oh, he has. Yeah. This is great news. Let's
Starting point is 00:08:23 get him in here, everybody. Everything's coming together. Hey, look at it is our old pal Brian Dunaway joining us on a Monday morning for half-asses. Hi, Brian. Oh, hi, Scott, Brian and Scott? Yeah. You get to do it like, like Randy.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Greetings, Brian and Scott and Scott, Scott, Brian. Aloha. Or Aloha. Yeah, Aloha is what he says. Aloha, that's right. Or machete. He says machete. You ever hear about the chorizo?
Starting point is 00:08:57 I forgot about the chorizo. That one's an all-timer. Hey, that's good to have you here. No pressure to perform in front of Scott Fletcher. But also, I believe Brian's somehow integrated things. Pressure Fletcher. I don't know what that means, but we're going to find out together as Brian Nibitt now takes it away and explains the rules of this game. Sure.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Welcome to the final edition of the Morning Half-Aces, a trivia game where I'm actually giving you three the answers. Yeah. What? Yeah. The last one. This is the last one. Yeah, he's changing it up. We're not ending it.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Yeah. When are you going to let me know? No. Surprise. Kind of like me learning Fletcher is involved with today somehow. You're going to learn everything. Everything you learn this week will happen right before it happens. That's the great.
Starting point is 00:09:41 No pressure. Okay. All right. Welcome to the final edition, blah, blah, blah. Which of your game, we're actually giving you three the answers. I'm going to give Scott and Scott and Brian in category and six possible answers, three of which are correct and three, which are incorrect. Those, that hasn't changed down the way. There's not usually three people.
Starting point is 00:09:59 No. Oh, no. He's not saying people. He's saying three. Three correct answers. And three incorrect people. Okay. Depending on how confident you feel
Starting point is 00:10:08 With the category You can provide one, two, three guesses But if any of those guesses are wrong, you get zero points for that round Get one right gets a point, two right gets you three points, three right gets you five points. Last time you'll ever have to hear me,
Starting point is 00:10:19 last time you'll ever have to hear me Explain these stupid points. Well, at least you nailed it this time So that we don't have to add here. Colleen dismount. Are we going to at least like Christine to play? Sure, she can play, for sure.
Starting point is 00:10:33 I'll play with the most points after three rounds wins the prize for their contest. and contestants have been pulled from members of the tadpool that support us over there on patreon.com. Scott's, you're going to be playing for Ed Perez. Oh, Ed Perez. I like Ed Perez. All right. And Brian, you're going to be playing for SunBun.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Oh, look at that. I love me some SunBun. I told him to bring something to the thing. And it just realized that SunBun provided today's prizes. So you're getting your own stuff. He's actually, what's interesting is Perez is from the last batch. And Sun Bunn was the guy who normally would type first in a forum if he had the first comment. He was the very first guy.
Starting point is 00:11:14 And I thought about that for a second. I thought, I should probably let Brian know. So he'd pull any Sun Bun codes. And that I forgot. Yep. Sure enough. Well, it was in here. It was in the thing.
Starting point is 00:11:23 I could have read it and said Sun Bun. I typed it. I said, Brian played for Sun Bun and did not make that connection. So we'll figure something out. All good. All right. So here's how it's going to work. Brian, Dunaway, you're going to play as normal.
Starting point is 00:11:35 That's me. Oh, okay. Cool, cool, cool, cool. Scott's, you're going to play as a team. And you're going to have to figure out a way to play as a team without communicating verbally. Okay. Which should be really fun. All right. Christine can be on my side?
Starting point is 00:11:50 Yeah, Christine's always on your side, man. Oh, I see what he's doing. He's going to move. Okay, this will be good. He's going to move. Yeah, yeah. This is good. As he pulls all your equipment off of the table.
Starting point is 00:11:58 I'm sorry, Scott. Don't do all that, Scott. I apologize. So right, oh, sheesh. Okay. I was jumping, but you. You totally did it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:06 He did. All right. No, he actually didn't do. Oh, he just took the lid off of a commemorative baseball that's only not worth much now because it's, it's a Kurt. Kurt Schillen. It's now been exposed to the air and it's drying up as we speak. I didn't know he was at your. Baseball raisin.
Starting point is 00:12:22 It's partly that, but also because he kind of went off the rails. I didn't know he was at your house. What, Fletcher? Yeah, he's right here. Yeah. Well, I see that now, obviously. Yeah, he's, uh, he's physically, physically here. As you can see.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Hey, Scott, I'll see you soon. Wait, go back to that. Wait, hold on that. Is that a, who makes the movies that are awesome in? Oh, yeah, no. There's a Wes Anderson film back there. Oh, there we go. That's very good.
Starting point is 00:12:52 That's great. All right. If you haven't answered anything, just lurch forward because it will cut you out if I, if you don't get close. Yeah, there we go. Okay. All right, let's get to your first question. This one actually written and provided by Alcabababab. himself, the guy who made this
Starting point is 00:13:08 interface they're using right now. Your first question is right. Dwarves and Thorin's company in The Hobbit. Oh, dwarves and Thorne's Company in the Hobbit. Your choices are Farin Ballin, Dwaran, Dway, and Duren. So we're going to...
Starting point is 00:13:26 Yeah? I'm just going to sit down. Do you want... I'm just going to sit down. I'm just going to go back to my corner. How do you... Since we can't talk about... verbally. If I hover over a thing, do you want to just say if you feel good about it? Oh, now I'm going to start the timer then.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Oh, I have no idea. Oh, you have no idea. I do you have no idea. Oh, okay, well, I think I know two of these. Actually, I know three of these. I'm doing it. I'm in. I'm doing that for us, man. I like what you did there. Do you like what I did? Yeah. Okay. All right. I also like what we did. Oh, poor Ibbis got the, got the the runny nose. He's got the sneezes. I blow my nose all spring long.
Starting point is 00:14:09 It's a thing. It just is what it is here in Colorado. Something about it. Anyway. All right. You guys, the couple of them, you guys both settled on.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Let's start with Balin. Baylon. Balin. Baylon. Baylon. Jesus. Whatever. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Legos. It's a call back. Yeah. To film psych yesterday. Bailin is absolutely a member of Thorin's company and the Hobbit. You guys also both selected Duran, D-U-R-I-N
Starting point is 00:14:43 of Duren's folk flame, or folk fame, maybe folk flame as well. Duren was not. Wait, it's not. Dang it. No, between the two of you, did select three right answers. Nory, Baylon, and
Starting point is 00:14:56 Dwalin. I knew of Bailen. Yeah, Farin is the grandfather of Dwaylan and Bollen and Dane is the great-grandfather of Thorin. So Duren is a thing. It's just not in the Hobbit. Correct.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Not a member of the... Not Thorne's company. Not part of Thorin's company. Oh, okay. Yes. Or as I like to say, long-haired Chris Metzen. It looks just like a freaky people. Anyway, all right.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Well, you know what? That felt like a nice warm-up. I'm okay. There you go. Now, you've gotten that out of the way. Now, we can get on, you know, to the real meat of the matter and give you question, too. Clouds, which of these are types of cloud? What did I say?
Starting point is 00:15:35 He's actually sound like... Scott Fletcher got excited. I think you did. I think you did actually. Malius, voluptuous, no, voluteus, calcinius, Arcus, Telus, and Cirrus. I only know one of these so far.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Let me see here. I'm thinking a completely... Pretty sure that you guys both know the same one. Right, right, right, right. Oh my gosh. Do you know him? No. It's a cloud.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Names of clouds or transformer characters. Yeah. That that they look like. Or dwarves. I think these also might be dwarves that are. Malius. The shroud of duran. You stay here and stop Megatron.
Starting point is 00:16:17 We're going forth. What do you think? I don't know. Do we just do with one and be okay? Dude. I mean, we're guaranteed one. But I know he did one plus ones. But he's going to get the wrong one.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Yeah, that's good. Hey, hey, hey. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you standing there. Okay. All right. Hey, hey, Fletcher, you got a great voice. Did you ever do any weatherman work?
Starting point is 00:16:42 You know, it's funny, I did. Did you really? I did. I was a weekend weatherman in college. You don't remember any of these, though. These are fake. Oh, these are all fake. At least three are correct is my understanding, right, Brian?
Starting point is 00:16:56 That's correct. Yes, three of these are 100% correct. And you guys settled both on one answer. Are you serious? Are you serious right now? You guys both selected Cirrus, and I know how it had to do with, like, Brian Dunaway, hearing you guys say, let's just do one. Let's just do one. We're guaranteed one point. Well, what if he says the same one? We'll take points. That's a good strategy. The other ones were Arcus and Volutius. Oh, I thought almost with Luteus.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Malleus is the hammer, earbone. Like, you know, your ear has three bones and three little teeny tiny bones. The hammer I have four. The something in the, what is it? Incus. The stirrup, the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup. You know this, because this is part of your stuff, right? Yeah, she's... By the way, Christine's like a massive professional. And the fact that she's sitting through this nonsense is really awesome.
Starting point is 00:17:47 We love it. Talus is an ankle bone and calcaneus is a footbone. Oh. Clouds and bones. I thought that was that guy that started... Did a This Week in Tech rip-off and made Leo mad. Oh, that's Jason Calacanus. Never mind.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Oh. different guy. That's a throwback. That's a deep cut. Deep cut, baby. All right. You guys both going into question three with one point. What will we do?
Starting point is 00:18:15 Well, we're going to look at people's names. Which of these are names that were once in the top 1,000 in popularity for U.S. girls? So three of these names were actually in the top thousand names in popularity. How big of a brush could you take out there, Ibbett? Yeah. Right. He's just painting with that. big old roller absolutely your choices are
Starting point is 00:18:37 Timothy Steve George Richard Samuel and John three of them were also girls names in the top thousand popularity at some point or another wow maybe okay all right I like that all right we have locked in with our answer
Starting point is 00:18:55 okay me too so has been right all right well you both settled on George the easiest one in the list yeah Georgina Yeah, Georgia. Steve. Steveithee.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Stevenny. Steveithy. No, George, George from Dead Like Me. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Georgie. I hear a lot of Georgies. Georgia.
Starting point is 00:19:23 They do that now to change it, but I guess back then you would have said, just straight up George. Just straight up George. Yeah, they didn't have extra letters to spend. No. They didn't know. You got what you were given. The others went to the war effort.
Starting point is 00:19:36 that's right send all your extra words to the front that's right the boys the boys the boys need your eyes and aise oh my gosh that's great Brian stopped there
Starting point is 00:19:50 so he's got a point you guys I got up by Brian's got a point oh my gosh oh this is it it's not going to end in the tie it's going to either be you guys
Starting point is 00:19:58 you guys indeed chose Steve the one we're kind of just joking that's Stevie Nix right oh that's good It's a, you know, a good example there. However. So, Brian always does this.
Starting point is 00:20:14 You're so good at it. Freaking Richard? Yes, Richard and John were both in the top. 1,000 in popularity for U.S. girls. Timothy, Steve, and Samuel were not. Who's the young lady? You're courting down to the church. That's Richard.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Boy, that Richard sure has a nice pair of legs on him. Yay. I call her dick for sure. I was going to say. She called, we call her dick. Handsome lady. Holy crap, dude. I'm shocked by those.
Starting point is 00:20:41 So Steve got in there, eh? No, no Steve. Sorry, but John, Richard and George. So that we're one in the top 1,000, is this a thing at a certain time of our? Yeah, and this doesn't give me the years. I was really, usually they give me like some extra trivia about the, um, the, the time frame. Yeah. They don't.
Starting point is 00:21:01 But it's, you know, it's all got to be like turn of the century or 18. 1950s or something like that. That's crazy. But Richard just, it's so funny like Richard. Yeah. I've never met a lady named Richard and kind of hope I never do. I don't know what that means. That is mean anything.
Starting point is 00:21:18 All right. So nobody write me, emails. It means nothing. It means nothing. It means precisely zero. It's right to change your mind. Yeah, yeah. No, that's right.
Starting point is 00:21:30 You haven't met the right dick. You haven't met. Oh, my. You got to meet the right dick. Hey, Brian, why don't you explain who won then and what they won, I guess. So because Brian won, that means Sun Bun wins. And he's going to get, instead of the games that he gave me, he's going to get a Resident Evil Village and Corekeeper. Oh, these are big deal.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Critic of Grievous. So very cool. I'm going to replace these in the list right here. And then I'll unslaish those in the other thing. They slash them. And then Ed Perez, you want to come? copy of Never Winter Nights Enhanced Edition. Dude, that's awesome.
Starting point is 00:22:09 We just played that recently for Play Retro. Yeah, that game's great. Underrated, too. I wish they'd remake that one. They're always remaking Balders Gabe, but the Never Winter games are amazing. Here's the thing. Those first two that Sun Bun's getting, he may, he maybe even have them, I don't know. He might, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:23 But that might be the biggest haul we've ever given anybody. Those are big deals. That's good. I did not keep track of what was in there before to uncheck them. So let me take a look at, uh, oh, I can usually look at history, edit history and see, okay, distrust and streets of fury were in there before. Okay. So Scott's mute.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Can you say something? Uh, it looks like maybe yours is muted? I'm muted. Is it currently? I hear both of you. I hear it. I hear this both. The chat's just smoking crap.
Starting point is 00:22:53 But I'm, I'm hearing you in clean feet, though. That's different. When it switches your camera, you get muted. Oh. Sorry. Hold on a second. Oh, really? Oops.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Oh, no. Okay, say something. Hello, hello, hello. Still going. Hello, governor. And it's just Scott. Which Scott, guys? Come on.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Yeah, which Scott? Do you mean me? Oh, it may mean me. Me. What the heck? Yeah. That makes no sense. Okay, hold on.
Starting point is 00:23:17 I got to fix that. Just real quick. Why is my audience? Nothing. Nothing better than telling a podcast during a live stream that something's not worth. Oh, it's the best, man. It's the best. For some reason, though, it's, this is really strange.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Show all hidden sources. So when it goes to. Scott Johnson's one shot, Kelly says. That's when it meets. Okay, how about now? How about now with Brian talking? Same audio. Me talking. Here's me talking.
Starting point is 00:23:43 I'm sure you hear both of us now. This makes no sense. All right, I'm just going to add this. I'm going to re-out it, I guess. This is jacked. Okay. Oh, sync audio. Okay, how about now?
Starting point is 00:23:53 Chat room. All right. Should have it now. Should have it now. Should have it now. Okay. No, my gosh. Now yes.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Oh, my God. The long national nightmare is over. The worst part of this. is that the archive is going to sound like it's the stupidest thing it's going to oh because it's also not going to have the yeah you can you can extract oh
Starting point is 00:24:13 I guess you'd need it from the Zoom because if you extracted the Twitch stream that still would have the same issue yeah same problem so me recording locally and what people are getting boy to me it sounded fantastic oh you're welcome well audio's all good do what Amy did
Starting point is 00:24:30 and just go back and add your audio just remember what you said during those moments. Just voice it or mouth it? You can just improv. It doesn't matter what you say, really. I don't know what's going on. I know what I did. And it's too embarrassing to say. So I'm not going to tell anyone.
Starting point is 00:24:44 What we could do is feed it all into chat to PT and have it make up. There we go. What you might have said. Excellent idea. Let's do it. There's a use case for AI I hadn't thought of. I like it. It'll only take you about four hours.
Starting point is 00:24:55 I'm sure you got time today. Not a problem. I think probably it worked earlier and then I changed it. And so there's a section that didn't work. I don't know. Apologies to YouTube people watching this in the past or in the future. They're all talking about your comment. The chat room is smoking crack.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Yeah. Yeah, sorry, guys. Hey, listen, guys, it's you, not us. Yeah, it's never me. Yeah. Problem is I need to figure out a way to monitor that when it's not. Yeah, right. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:25:24 Because all of us can't tell. You don't have chat. You know, if only you had like a group of people listening online that could verify that for you. Oh, like, yeah. in a chat room kind of scenario where they might notice it and then say something and then I would rip on them saying they're smoking crack. Exactly. I'm not, you know, it's just an idea. That's a fair point. All right. We're going to implement that next time. Dunaway, you did great because you won. Oh. Thank you. Well done. I don't know if you noticed, but you won. You've won the day.
Starting point is 00:25:48 And the good news about that, about that win is that we get to do this again live. Not really. We're not doing one of these live. But we're going to have you live. this coming week Friday we'll have a live TMS and guess who will be there Scott Fletcher will be there Brian done away because
Starting point is 00:26:06 because Christine helped me by the way we were texting back and forth oh I see there was a little bit of that going on uh take that
Starting point is 00:26:16 yeah I'm looking forward to it though but having done away on stage is going to be a treat and we look forward to is there anything else you'd like that film sack as well it's going to be awesome yeah I just can't wait to see
Starting point is 00:26:26 you guys. I won't be there until Thursday, but as soon as I get in, I'll be running, looking for you guys to hang out. We'll be there for sure. Stay, stay safe in the meantime and kiss my. Oh, our boot. Bye. All right. He's out of here. That was fun. I miss him so dearly. I do too. The, the brine done away is within us all. You know what I mean? Yes. I think it's one way of saying it. All right. Let us dive right into our segment with Bobby, because it turns out it's time for science. And science waits for no man, except Bobby, I guess. Or waiting for
Starting point is 00:27:05 Bobby. But for the most part, science is not just sitting around doing nothing. If I could just find his clip, that would be wonderful. Here we go. Oh, first What? What? No, it's the first line of every textbook I ever read about science. Yeah. It's not just about sitting around doing nothing. Yeah, every book. don't even do those anymore. It's all digital now. Yes. I'm so glad to stop to talk to me before playing this thing.
Starting point is 00:27:28 It's tired. Bob is hungry, and the soup looks good. Oh, my lord. Bobby Frankenberger joining us on the line. Hi, Bobby. How are you? I'm doing well. You know, a little caught off guard, I guess. Yeah? You didn't know Fletcher was going to be here, did you? No, I mean, I had plenty of time. I've been watching the stream. I had plenty of time to to prepare myself for Scott Fletcher. Bobby.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Bobby. Yeah, look at that. Fletch, you're going to be able to... Whoa, our screen went weird. Oh, nothing's working, right. Hold on. Oh, I know why. Don't worry, guys. We're not going to go mute again. Hey, look who it is. It's Bobby. There he is. There's the guy. Ooh, he is shiny today, and I like it.
Starting point is 00:28:11 That's a good one. You know, everybody loves Lodge. Are you trapped in a sauna? Yeah, I'm coming at you right now from... I put a shirt on. Are you also available in extra crispy? there you go, that's better. I mean, I liked it either way.
Starting point is 00:28:27 You could have kept it. For sure, yeah. Thank you. That's what I love about the frog pants community is how welcoming they are. Really? Truly, right? Like, we're all here together. We're doing it together and we got each other's back.
Starting point is 00:28:41 It's totally fine. Bobby's here to talk about science. That's what we do with Bobby about once a month on this program. And it's good because we need that in our modern life where people have turned to superstition more than they perhaps should. The woo. The woo. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:28:55 The woo is what we call it. Yeah. So no more woo. No more woo. Today, science. Bobby, what are we talking about? Well, I'm scrambling to get my notes pulled up because I am not prepared for anything this week. Oh. The load on Bobby is a heavy one, guys.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Yes, it is. Oh, my God. Yeah. He is, this is the most, like, if we had this for TMS, Vegas, the level of organization, like, all right, You need to be here at this time. Brian, you're going to be doing this. And make sure you talk to people, Brian. Yeah, he's the Corinne of this, of this dispensation.
Starting point is 00:29:31 He really is, yeah. Yeah, which is good because we needed one. Kind of turns out that's it's it. I'm happy to do it. But, you know, you know, it's like, it's like, there's just a lot of things. I've got it all, and it's all pulled up in front of me now. But Brian, you see, I've recently got an electric vehicle, one of those Ionic fives. I love it.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Yeah. I mean, you got the benefit of being able to drive one around and play with it before you got one. So you already know. It was a two-week test drive, basically, is what it was. Yeah, best car I've ever owned. It's been, and I love the one-pedal driving as well. It's really cool. Do you know how that works?
Starting point is 00:30:07 I just know that it's basically creating, it's charging your battery as you coast. Like if you're going downhill and you take your foot off the gas while you're doing this one-pedal driving, it's basically spinning that, that same recharge thing that then sends power back to the battery gives you more. Yeah, because the way an electric motor works, and it has to be called a motor, it's not really an engine, right? The way an electric motor works is it's big, powerful magnets. You push on the pedal and it drives, it converts electricity into magnetism, because they're kind of hand in hand, right?
Starting point is 00:30:42 And the magnets push the axles of the car and it goes forward. But because those two forces are kind of the same, thing you can do the whole thing in reverse so when you let go it's magnets those magnets are just grabbing onto like they they are sliding past each other and then generating electricity and it just they just do the whole thing in reverse to charge the battery and so when you feel that feeling of the brakes when you let the foot off that's a that's first of all how how weird is it the first time it's i looked like a 15 year old getting to drive the car for the very first time when I pulled it out of the parking space at the rental car place. It was like, go-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g- And I saw the
Starting point is 00:31:27 button. I said, oh, I'll turn this off, drove, drove back to the house with it in regular mode, and then said, all right, you know, open roads here. I'm going to do some trying of the regenerative braking. And, God, I'm, I'm, I was hooked on it from, from that point. How much does it, does it actually give you so much that it's noticeable? Like, the return on it? Yes, it feels like, oh, as far as how much. It gives us back to the battery. 30%. Is that all? Yeah, it's pretty significant. It's a lot. It is a lot, actually. Yeah. Yeah. You can, I know on mine, there's a little meter that tells you how many, you know, megawatt hours per mile you're getting. Yeah. And, and when you, when you let it, um, regenerate, you can see that go, uh, it's go, it goes up. You know, it's, um, it's definitely more efficient. But the, the thing that I think is cool to think about while I'm doing it is the fact that it call it regenerative breaking, but it's not breaking in the sense that there are brakes. You do have brakes, but with the one pedal driving, you don't have to use them very often. But it's not break.
Starting point is 00:32:26 It feels like it's breaking, but literally just magnets without, there are no parts touching each other. It's just magnets are slowing you down. Do you ever use the brake paddle on your steering wheel as an alternate? Do you have that on the, you should have that on the I like five, right? No, it's got a brake pedal and a gas pedal, but there's paddles on the back that change the strength of the regenerative brakes. Oh, maybe that's what it is. Okay, because I was describing this to Uncle George, who's got Ionic 5 as well. And he says, yeah, sometimes I don't use the brake pedal.
Starting point is 00:33:01 I just use the gas and then the paddle on the back of the steering wheel. Yeah, yeah, you can do that too. Like an Indy 500 driver or something. Yeah, those guys are cool with their whole deal. That was just the cool thing. I just think it's cool to be being stopped by magnets. It's cool. It is.
Starting point is 00:33:17 It's great. Yeah. Well, so that's a little science of its own. It is. Yeah. Yeah. All right. You're saying there's more?
Starting point is 00:33:23 Oh my gosh. Give me more. There's more. Now you've fulfilled your quota. All of this is icing. It's more. Yeah. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:33:30 So the big thing in science news right now, internationally anyway, is the Ebola outbreak. Have you guys heard much about it? A little bit. It feels like that feels more like the one to watch, given its transmittability between humans, whereas the hunter virus thing was a little bit isolated and less. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I mean, the Ebola outbreak is still isolated. the reason you're hearing a lot about it and maybe people sound more concerned about it is because Ebola's very deadly. It's got like a, you know, on the positive, like the optimistic end of the range is like a 50% fatality rate if you get infected. Yeah, so it's not great, but it doesn't, it's not super transmissible. It's nothing like COVID. It's not transmissible through droplets in the air. it's only direct contact with bodily fluids. So you have to be like, so let's break that down.
Starting point is 00:34:25 You got to spit in some dude's face, right? Yeah, that would do it. You got to have the coitus. That's one one. That would do it, yeah, that's bodily fluid. Yeah. And you got a, what's another one? But I'm going to tell you.
Starting point is 00:34:36 If not Ebola, you're not going to be in the mood. Honey, not tonight. I have Ebola. I've heard a bad one before. Every night. Yeah. But if somebody's, you know, when they talk to you and they're kind of a spitty talker, that potentially could do it, right?
Starting point is 00:34:57 Or is it still too fine a mist in that format? Well, no, I mean, I guess technically, yeah, if you get actual spit from someone on you, then it could be. But the ways where you really see this transmitted is when people are caring for other people who are sick. So, you know, like, how? healthcare workers spread it a lot who are working, but also people who have Ebola and are being cared for in a facility, like a hospital or maybe a clinic or or something like that
Starting point is 00:35:30 where you've got, they're being treated with IV fluids because this is, this is a pretty severe disease that you get and you're massively low blood pressure and you need IV fluids is definitely required for for part of your treatment but because you're doing that you're putting needles into people so you know blood is a is a concern and all that kind of stuff they should bring these back
Starting point is 00:35:57 this whole deal oh the plague doctor yeah yeah get that going is that a thing do they store anything in that in that beak it feels like that's a lot of wasted space they have a have a sausage in there or something they say they do herbs is that what you said
Starting point is 00:36:13 yeah like stuff to Because, you know, dude, can you imagine what anything smelled like even when people were healthy? Oh, my gosh. Well, the reason that they did that with those plague doctor masks wasn't just to like, so that you would have a better smelling experience. It was because this was before the germ theory of disease and people thought it was like vapors in the air and like if you just like smelling the rank disease. Like that's how things was one theory how things were transmitted. So they literally thought that if you could block the smell, then you might not get. Because the smell, to them, the smell was the vapors, right?
Starting point is 00:36:54 Yeah, yeah, right. It also helps with distance, too. You're going to also say, I'm staying one foot away from this person because I can't get any closer with this beak. Yeah, when you got a beak like that hanging out, you're not. Well, and it's funny because things like that probably led to the, you know, accidentally confirming these false ideas because they made. these things and it is a mask so it probably did reduce their
Starting point is 00:37:18 at least respiratory illnesses reduced the the transmission of those that's the irony of it because in a way it was they were better protected from eventual germ theory understanding they just didn't so they had success
Starting point is 00:37:34 it wasn't for the reasons that they thought good protection for the wrong reason yeah yeah but what about the hat yeah what's going on there give me some Give me some. What about that hat? The hat just makes people trust you more.
Starting point is 00:37:49 It's like because you look like a squash thumbtack, I guess. Brian, wear this for All-Stars. If only there was time. Yeah, I'm just going to worry you all right now. You're not getting it a special outfit for me for All-Stars this year. There just has not been time. It's all good. Oh, man, I can hear the reservations being canceled.
Starting point is 00:38:11 I'm sure, yes. Maybe the Ridler jacket, but that's a, That's about it. Brian, Brian tends, even like one of your shirts, like the one you have on now. It's,
Starting point is 00:38:19 it's Brian, but it's also wacky by some standards. Like, Brian's kind of always of game show host. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I am.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Yes, exactly. It's always turned on. Yes, he's going to do great. Hello, always turned on. Yes, ladies. Never not turned on.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Unless you have a bowl. Yeah. So, so, per usual, I wonder how much freak out people are doing around this. Is there,
Starting point is 00:38:42 um, reason to or what's the deal? So the CDC is telling us that it's not something that we need to be concerned about here in the U.S. I would understand that people might not be as trusting of the CDC lately as maybe in the past. So maybe you're still thinking that it is. But it really isn't. So it's right now anyway, it's difficult for this to transmit. It's a pretty rare virus.
Starting point is 00:39:08 It's pretty difficult for it to transmit unless you're in direct contact. and it's only transmissible when you start showing symptoms. So that makes all of those together make it easy to isolate people, which is what you need to do. Oh, unlike COVID where you're like, I think Bill's got COVID, but how do you know? Yeah, you could be transmitting COVID a week before you showed any symptoms, right? But this, you have to be showing symptoms in order for it to be transmissible. Also, it's in sub-Saharan African kind of, well, right now. it's in the DRC, the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Starting point is 00:39:45 And so one of the reasons that people are concerned and why it's got so many cases is because it's really difficult right now to get care to those people because, for a lot of reasons, remote locations, but also there's, you know, military conflict. Like there's stuff going on there that is, that makes it hard to get aid to those people. Yeah. And so, so yeah. So the U.S. is not really, they're watching it for sure. There's like daily at the CDC, daily updates and reports and everything trying to,
Starting point is 00:40:18 they're modeling how this could go. And they're definitely keeping an eye on it. And they are preparing to be able to rapidly test people and isolate them if they need to. But so in terms of us being worried about it, I wouldn't worry about it. The only thing that they're, even international travel, they're not really recommend, like, worried about that. So if they have a person get on the plane and they got Ebola, they would be showing its signs of Ebola before they even got on the plane. It's not the same as somebody who's like, oh, I got the SARS virus and I'm sitting in row
Starting point is 00:40:53 38 and no one knows I have it. I don't even know I have it. It's not like that, right? Right, exactly. No, it's not like that. And we know it's isolated right now to the con. So those, that area of Africa, it's isolated right now. But that's not to say it's not something that we should.
Starting point is 00:41:10 should be concerned about overall. And also, it's not to say that it's not a terrible thing that's happening. There's lots of people that are being infected. You may have heard numbers as high as 1,000 cases in 200 or 200 deaths, but that's been updated. The World Health Organization downgraded that to about 500 cases and not quite 100 deaths, which is still bad. You don't want people dying.
Starting point is 00:41:37 How'd they get those numbers off so hard? Well, the reason they had to downgrade it is because it's difficult to track. It's difficult to identify because of the remote isolation of the area, all that kind of stuff, but also because the symptoms of Ebola mimic malaria, which is also common in the area. So early estimates they found were people who had malaria. I thought Bill Gates got rid of malaria. Wasn't that a deal that happened? it, I guess. Okay. Like a big
Starting point is 00:42:11 portion of the world, though, no more malaria, I think. I think. It's difficult to, it's, that's, that's one that's really, really difficult to get rid of because it's, it's because of the whole mosquito of it. You know, the mosquito of it. Yeah. Yeah. I like that.
Starting point is 00:42:27 It's, it's hard to get rid of those. And also, we have people in our government making it difficult to aid any research and stuff. What? What? No. I don't believe. I don't want to... I don't want to... Do you have any names?
Starting point is 00:42:43 Who do you know that's in charge of this? Hey, look at this. He talks funny and he has a brainworm. Look, we gave Bob Bobby. You're prepared. Yeah, you're all set to go. Protected and ready to rock. All right.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Well, that's interesting. He's wearing his trusting hat. That's right. Yeah. So do we do we do anything other than, you know, understand it? We're going to be vigilant. Scott, we're going to just be Villagent.
Starting point is 00:43:10 No, I don't think there's anything that needs to be done by the average. You said, Villagent? Villagent? Oh, my God. Yes. Villagent is when you're vigilant in the village.
Starting point is 00:43:22 It's a village idiot saying villagent. That was great. So wait a minute, though. It's all we can do is be vigilant, but also be knowledgeable, I guess. Yeah, but when you say be vigilant, you know, I don't want people to think that they need to be.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Like, no, you don't really, it's not something that you need to think about. If it's, if it is, then it'll be in the news. This is a big deal. If it ever gets close to our borders, then you'll start here. You definitely will be hearing about it. Because this virus is not friendly to people at all. It's, um, it's a, it's funny because these kinds of viruses that are really, that, that do a lot of damage are really interesting.
Starting point is 00:44:03 from a science perspective, but then you, I don't know, people like me get excited to learn about and read these things, and then you realize, oh, how excited should I get about people dying? Yeah, it's still interesting, though, right? Like, I think it helps. Sorry, I got a spider in the office. I was not transmissible through spiders, no worry. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:44:24 I was actually going to aim. What if a spider bites them and then bites you? I was going to aim down and show you guys the spider, but it leaped. It freaking jumped on me. God, are you going to get super power? I think leapt. I think leapt is the word.
Starting point is 00:44:37 Oh, you're right. Leap. You're right. It leaped. It's left. It leaped. And wait. And it's so doing.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Leaped on me. On my leap. Did it look before it leapt? Anyway, sorry. I was trying to tie that together and say, what would happen with this spider bot me? Or bit me, but it didn't. So, all right. So far, we're good.
Starting point is 00:44:58 You know my favorite thing about this today's episode is? What's that? The chaos around it or what? there's already, when ever, Scott, whenever you have someone in the studio
Starting point is 00:45:06 with you, you already get a little bit of nervous energy whether you're aware of it or not. It's just a thing, right? Like, lots of people would do that. But then you combine that
Starting point is 00:45:15 with the nervous energy of nerdtacular in a few days. Oh, it's insane. And the nervous energy of a spider landing in my freaking lap.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Yeah, yeah. It's, um, that's, that's, that's, that's,
Starting point is 00:45:26 that's, that's, but by the way, it's version of that. If this was my wife, she would have, you would never see her like this in your lives. You'd never see her freak out harder than this.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Spiders of my wife, dude. Mm-mm. Like that would have freaked her. She would have been long gone the minute she saw it. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Sorry, Kim. I'm throwing out of the bus while we're on the show.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Is it screaming or is it just her standing up saying, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. It would be a little of that. Maybe a scream and then leaving the room. She wouldn't keep, the show would just record nothing. Oh, yeah. She'd go collect herself. She would. And come back.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Yeah. She'd go to the can. probably lock herself in that bathroom over there okay how bad gotta make it happen all right let's see what we can do now i feel like everything's crawling oh god yeah anyway uh well bobby that's super interesting i hope none of us get Ebola ever in any context uh i've seen i've seen that movie with uh who was it dustin huffman yeah what was that called contagion or the hot zone no that's own no no it was one called the hot zone um oh that was the book. The book was the hot zone. Outbreak. Outbreak. That's it. A monkey did it. They had a monkey. Remember that? Oh, and remember that scene where the, the girlfriend kissed the guy who was all... Oh, my God. Are you kidding? Yeah, that was gnarly.
Starting point is 00:46:47 That's the part of the movie that would have grossed Scott out. Oh, it would have absolutely. You would hate Ebola because it gives you really bad diarrhea. Really? You would, you know, if all people, you would hate Ebola. You know, some people, they are fine with Ebola, you would hate it. I wouldn't tolerate it like most people. My cousin thrived on Ebola, but I think you would hate it. It's actually what I've heard is that some of those deaths are preventable in the sense that it's symptomatic stuff that ends up taking people out because they have bad conditions or they're nowhere near hospitals or whatever. It causes a cytokine storm in your body. That's a real thing is what they call it, a cytokine storm, cytokine storm, which causes massive.
Starting point is 00:47:32 fluid to be all of your blood vessels get leaky and fluid is everywhere and you vomit and have diarrhea and blood pressure drops and organ failure happens and it's not great it really sounds lovely doesn't it just like a Saturday night it's that's right we're all there it's gonna be great can't wait all right well Bobby between now and next a few days I'll be there in two days two days yeah two days you'll be here anything going like with with your show you got a show that you're leaving everybody with before you take on yeah all around science. I'm still putting out episodes. We're actually on a summer break,
Starting point is 00:48:06 but I'm putting out some old episodes. We're in the middle of a four-part series we did about two years ago on the four fundamental forces of the universe, you know, electromagnetism, strong and weak force and gravity. And I'm calling it summer school.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Oh. Because I'm re-releasing those. I like that. That's cool. All around science is where you can find it. Yes, there will still be an episode next Monday, even though I won't be here. How does that work? How does that work? It's the internet, everybody. Bobby, always good to talk to you. Can't wait to see in person. Oh, yeah. Well, I'm sure we'll be talking shortly. It's Bobby, everybody. Bye. All right. There's your science. Very good. I hope everyone remembers everything we said.
Starting point is 00:48:50 Took notes. Scott Fletcher. Yeah, apparently it was outback that actually, or outbreak that killed the and outback, outbreak that killed the potential film adaptation of the hot zone. Oh. There was a planned one and then Fox had a movie planned called Crisis in the Hot Zone and then Outbreak came out and they said, well, I guess we don't need to do that. They didn't want a deep impact their Armageddon? They did not. Yes, they decided not to real genius. They're weird science. That's a shame, you know.
Starting point is 00:49:20 I like when these double movies come out. It's actually enjoyable. You got contagion and my daybreak. That's right. The one that, oh, I did watch Contagion. that's the what's his name Soderberg one. Yes, Jennifer Carpenter in that one, I think. I think so.
Starting point is 00:49:37 I can't remember. I never can remember who's in it. I know. Oh, pandemic is the one with Jennifer Carpenter. See, that's... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mix them up, too, the same problem. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:46 But I thought it was really good. And I didn't expect to... Yeah, I didn't expect to like it because I actually watched that during COVID lockdown. You and a bunch of other people. Why did we do that? That seems like, why would you do that yourself? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:49:59 When is Wendy on again? She'll be on stage this week. She'll be on stage Thursday. Okay. There's that. Well, anyway, thank you, Bobby, as always, for your segment. Wash your hands, don't touch poop. Don't touch poop.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Yeah. All right, we got a couple of things. I'm going to read some emails here. This one is from, who is this from? Did I not get a name? Cheese biscuit. It's from cheese biscuit. Shee or Shea biscuit.
Starting point is 00:50:26 It could be. Yeah. I think of that. This is about the jugs of pain. Here's what he says. He says, horrors bath. This has to do with you, by the way. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Was listening to when a tadpuller wrote in, and instead of a horrors bath, they said horse bath. All cut up on the latest episode and went back to my playlist of old film sacks. Just happened. The next episode was episode 351, the electric horseman, which opens with Fletcher saying, Horsman, horseman. I didn't go find this.
Starting point is 00:50:56 I kind of wanted to. I don't remember it. Yeah. I bet it might have gone a little something like this. There you go. Yeah, like that. Just like that. Just like that. Yeah. So he says, so we went full circle from horse bath to horse bath to horseman to horseman in a matter of minutes. I was snickering to myself so hard when my wife came in from the other room to check on me.
Starting point is 00:51:20 Fun across the Frog Pants Network. Love the show, though. I've been holding that one for a while because it just figured I'd see you eventually. Yeah, we told Fletcher's in studio to be able to address it. Address it, please. Horsmen. Yeah, horrors. Hors. Horsman.
Starting point is 00:51:36 Hors bath. What is a real horseman? Did we ever, we determine what a horse bath is, though, right? We did that. Yeah, so you wash your armpits in your butt in the sink, in the sink of a bathroom of the taco bowl. No, a hobo bath. Oh. I think they're the same thing.
Starting point is 00:51:52 Okay. Are they? I mean, I assume. I assume it's just a matter of. of getting the most important parts taken care of in limited amount of space and time you've got. Admittedly, the details of those parts might differ between hobo bath.

Starting point is 00:52:22 Oh, 100%. Kelly 138 says same thing. Hobo shower and horse bath. All right. And I prefer to spell my, when I spell the word whore, I spell it, H-O-O-R. Hoor. Hoor. Who about who-ah?
Starting point is 00:52:36 Like on the sopranos. Yeah. Like Joey Pants. Kelly, we're not going to ask why you know that so well, why you're so certain in your, her declaration that they're the same thing. She seems very confident. Yeah. No, we admire your journey, even though we don't understand it. I don't know your journey.
Starting point is 00:52:54 I know. I like journey. then there's this. I got a physical card in the mail. Brian, you may have gotten this too. I'm not sure because it says to both of us, but it's why I assume you got one. I haven't gotten it yet, but it may,
Starting point is 00:53:08 well, it may have arrived. I've not looked at all the stack of mail that came in while has gone. It's this nice, you know, stylistic, cool looking thing. Oh, that's very cool. Yes. And it says, hey, S&B, just dropping a quick, no,

Starting point is 00:53:45 It was such a nice little thing to get out of nowhere. That card is cool. Very cool. Yeah. So thank you. Did he do the art on the card? I don't know. It's printed.
Starting point is 00:53:54 There is right there. He's in the chat. Joe, did you do... He says he did not do the art on the card. Okay. No, it's very nice, though. It's like a weird industrial revolution era style. Yeah, it looks very deco from the...
Starting point is 00:54:07 From the quick glance on screen. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Cool. My camera does a weird thing when I get it. Like, ooh, see that? You mean the reflection? Oh, yeah, there it is right there. It's like there's a weird little amoeba.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Nope, other way. Oh, that's the Ebola. Yeah, that's the Ebola. You can see. It's right there. Oh my God, run. It's somewhat light, but I don't know why it would cause such a freaking... It looks like a little white, like bluey. It's a good thing I had all my kids.
Starting point is 00:54:36 I think that just made me sterile. I think so. That's how it works. Cheese biscuit and Joe Guy Art, you got, or Joe Art guy. I did it again, Joe. Sorry, I do that all time. Well, Joe Art is his name. Did I wrote it in here wrong?
Starting point is 00:54:51 You wrote it incorrectly, yes. Give me that card. Oh, did he? Guy Art. Yeah. He has it as Joe Guy Art. I wrote it as Joe Art Guy. I keep doing this to him and I don't know why I do it. Joe, Joe. Sorry, Joe. Just like the fourth time. T. and I had a quick coffee with Katie Talmo who was passing through Denver yesterday. They did a big old road trip up to Chicago and Wisconsin of the House on the Rock and that sort of thing. And on their way back, they made a stop through Arvada and we had a cup of coffee.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Lovely. They're not coming this way, are they? They come into the thing. Do you know? They're not going to make it to Nurtacular. Boom. Couldn't do it. So this was their,
Starting point is 00:55:36 this was their alternative. Just kidding. I hope you guys are having a great drive. And coffee with Brian's always a nice bonus, you know? Always a plus. Yeah. Better with Tina than with me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:46 You get the two for. Oh, speaking of which, we lost the Christine, we just were boring or what. She got tired of our nonsense. Yeah, I don't blame her. I think your wife might have been Is this about how long she lasts during a regular episode? Or just about anything I'm involved.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Oh, that's right. Kim told me that when she got home, she was going to say, if we weren't done, she was going to whisk her away. Yeah. Okay. She's been whisked. All right, guys, that's the show.

Starting point is 00:57:08 Mrs. Cot Fletcher. Scott, having you here was a treat. Dude. Is it weird for you when you call other, when other Scots are around and you have to say their names? Is it weird? I have that problem at work. Yeah. Yeah. A couple of Scots.
Starting point is 00:57:19 I only do it around you because I don't know many other Scott. Well, Scott Kurtz and I sort of talk. But it's rare that I'm saying his name out loud. Sure. So me doing it here on the air actually feels weird to say Scott. Like self-addressing. Yeah, because suddenly the name. It's like Spock at the end of that one movie.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Yeah. Yeah. Which one? Which one was that? Darkness, right? Oh, into the dark. Or no, it was the first one. Which?

Matt wrote in and said, hi, Brian. I wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for all the years of entertainment that you and Scott have brought me. Unfortunately, I'm being forced to retire after 25 years in education. And to be honest, I'm really sad about it.
Starting point is 00:59:04 I've given my heart and soul to this career and being pushed out hurts. Could you please play a cover of Princes of the Universe? I'm looking for something to recharge my heart as I get ready to figure out my next chapter. Thanks again for everything. Signed Matt. Well, Matt, I hope you figure out an alternative way. I mean, there's ways to continue teaching that, you know, maybe aren't the traditional methods. Do a YouTube channel or do some sort of online Patreon thing or something like that and figure out a way to fulfill that teaching bug that you've got.
