Today on the morning stream.
There is no escape, human.
No one to hear your cries.
Give me the pearl.
And your life may be spared.
I've never told anyone this before, but I'm addicted to peanut butter.
The Morning Stream.
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.
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
Let's start with Balin.
Baylon.
Balin.
Baylon.
Baylon.
Jesus.
Whatever.
Whatever.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
Stevenny.
Steveithy.
No, George, George from Dead Like Me.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Georgie.
I hear a lot of Georgies.
Georgia.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Oh, no.
Okay, say something.
Hello, hello, hello.
Still going.
Hello, governor.
And it's just Scott.
Which Scott, guys?
Come on.
Yeah, which Scott?
Do you mean me?
Oh, it may mean me.
Me.
What the heck?
Yeah.
That makes no sense.
Okay, hold on.
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.
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.
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?
Chat room.
All right.
Should have it now.
Should have it now.
Should have it now.
Okay.
No, my gosh.
Now yes.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
Yes, exactly.
It's always turned on.
Yes,
he's going to do great.
Hello,
always turned on.
Yes, ladies.
Never not turned on.
Unless you have a bowl.
Yeah.
So,
so,
per usual,
I wonder how much freak out
people are doing around this.
Is there,
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Oh, you're right.
Leap.
You're right.
It leaped.
It's left.
It leaped.
And wait.
And it's so doing.
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.
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
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
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.
Yeah,
yeah.
It's,
um,
that's,
that's,
that's,
that's,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Well, that's true. That's true.
There might be, you've got to wash your,
your bindle on a stick.
The bandana.
The bandana contains all your earthly belongings.
Tied at the end of a stick.
Plus, hobos are magic.
There's a whole thing with that.
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?
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.
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,
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,
I'm doing this physically because you're physically here
and it's just kind of a fun physical thing to do.
Right.
Worth the price of it.
mission.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
Having my audio dropout, I think, was the thing that really drove it home.
Speaking of dropping, he says, just dropping a quick note to express my appreciation for the morning
stream.
It has saved my mental health.
Says Joe Guy Art.
We see him in a lot in the chat.
Oh, Joe Guy Art.
Yeah.
Isn't that nice?
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.
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...
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
We've done it and we did it.
There is one tomorrow.
There will not be one Wednesday.
No, I'll be driving.
Brian will be on the road.
I will be in full prep mode,
packing up a truck, a van, actually.
Wow.
We rented a van.
Nice.
Yeah.
We bought a zoo.
No.
We rented a van and we have to fill it full of things and there are many things to fill it with.
So hopefully one trip does it.
We're a little nervous about that.
But it's all going to be good.
Can't wait to see a whole bunch of your faces there.
But we will be here tomorrow for the show.
So do not fret.
Yeah.
Remind me to tell a hummingbird feeder story tomorrow.
I can't believe I have not told this story on the show yet.
Something that happened in Vermont.
And, oh, well, it happened.
you know what? It happened Thursday.
So, and we didn't do a show Friday.
So I'll tell it tomorrow on the show.
I'm looking for it. Look at that. A teaser even.
A teaser, yes.
Let's have, let's take a moment now to spend just a little time with Mr. Scott Fletcher.
Mrs. Cott Fletcher.
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.
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.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which one?
Which one was that?
Darkness, right?
Oh, into the dark.
Or no, it was the first one.
Which?
I don't know.
The guy's just called Star Trek.
Let's get off this topic fast.
Let's get out of here before.
Before everybody emails about stupid weird.
you this weekend.
Oh, shit.
This is a level of retention that we've got.
Great.
This is the level of discourse we deserve.
Well, it was fantastic having you on, man.
It was a pleasure.
Thanks for that.
And I hope you have a safe trip to St. George.
I hope you really have a great time down there.
If Taco Bell comes calling, just let me know how it goes.
Pictures.
Got to take pictures.
Kim's got some other recommendations if you guys need them.
Avocado stacker, chicken stacker.
Let us know how it goes.
Let us know.
Stick around, everybody.
We're going to do some titles and stuff after the show and a couple of reads.
So please stick around for that.
In the meantime, oh, Monday show should be today at one.
I think.
I got to check with Carter for sure.
She's got a bunch of cramming to do for this new gig she's got.
And I think we're good.
But if it's not, I'll let you know.
Right now it's on the schedule.
So watch for the Monday show.
The other TMS happening at 1 p.m.
Mountain Time today up on the stream.
Brian, we should play a song for these people.
Let's totally do that.
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.
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.
Of course, Queen did the original Princes of the Universe.
This was one. Wasn't this one in? Yeah, this is a Highlander song.
Yeah. Best one in there, I think.
I think so.
Yeah.
This and who wants to live forever.
Oh, yeah, you can't.
That one can work so well even out of the movie's context.
It can.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Protoman did a version in 1994.
You're going to hear it right now.
Here are the proto men and princes of the universe.
Listen to this mashup and many more after the show at Patreon.com slash mashup guild.
Salted lemon candies.

Left arm, too tired.
Can't give any more samples.
Sorry.
No more samples.
Can't do left hand.
Getting blister on inside of hand.
I take the best part of the kangaroo meat is from the honches.
It's a fatty...
Fettie.
Fettile crotch.
The crotch.
It's kangaroo crotch meat, really.
Crohn's made from kangaroo rectum.
It's made from kangaroo rectum.
Make sure you get those natural chip crumbs out of there.
I get to touch my chin.
I work really hard on my chin.
We've got a new alien race that only attacks people's feet.
We must take all of our shoes off and walk around the Enterprise barefoot.
Well, I got stuck, got lost out on Mount Lofty ranges.
And, uh, billy down some logs.
Fony, guacamole.
Flinger, get out of here.
Major Houlihan, phony guacamole.
Get out of my office.
That's pretty good.
The answer is, spoiled bitch.
Spoiled bitch.
Michael, you have the board.
We didn't invent the meat pie, but we did perfect it.
Listen, pay.
Listen, yeah, listen, chow.
It's, uh, you know, this guy's looking at that piece of candy like he's, uh, Bill Mitchell about to size up the latest Cleveland Cavalier.
Yeah, you know that, uh, that Sandy Hook thing was a total hoax.
Fake news.
Of course, yeah, we're all about the home ground garlic.
We have eight varieties of garlic that can kill a human being.
I'm not showing you.
You've got your USB port.
Ding the wrong.
Yeah, I held on to your letter for a little last year.
So, Alex, I'll take steps for 200.
To me, that's just a bridge too far.
Pull up your pants and get me those detonators.
Did you like that?
It was a little bit of wallaby in your meat pie.
There's a wallaby pie.
Tinder.
There's a little Tinder.
The wallaby took my baby or whatever.
A little bit of dingo meat in your meat pie.
Thanks for listening.
