The Morning Stream. There, that's better. Try to enjoy your life day. Hello, everybody, and welcome to TMS. This is the morning stream for, oh my gosh, June 18th, 2026. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Hi, Brian.

Hello. Hey, man. Thursday. Thursday. We're just talking about, you know, one week ago was opening ceremonies. Yep. And see, right now, let's see, right now I was packing a van. and oh right oh yeah that's right right right because yeah one week that's right one week ago was was not opening ceremonies it was a welcome reception well yeah yeah the hangout the setup the hoo-ha that's right oh one week ago i was at uh i was at original pancake house with hammond adi and amos uh and his glorious beard uh wait was oddie at the event audy norman no no no audio uh hammond um um and um and

daughter. Oh shit. It's like freak me out because I thought if I didn't just freaking meet that guy. Oh my gosh. No. Would you imagine? I hope there's nobody that you find out later that is like, oh yeah, I was an artacular. You looked busy so I didn't want to come hang out with you. I'm like

yeah, please let there not be anybody. That's, I think that's what made the signing thing so great is whatever, signing autographs. It's bullshit. Yeah, you would give you a chance to talk. Who cares? We just made whatever you had a sign worth less. then it was before you had it. Yeah, get those up on eBay and make less than you would have if you had just sold it without it. But yeah, that's true.

But it's like the receiving light at a wedding. It's like this is a way to make sure you see every guest that came through. Yeah, it worked out good that way. And we had those in the past. The problem is I, well, this time I really wanted to like make extra effort. If I saw anybody I didn't recognize who was maybe off in a corner or not looking like they were going to, you know, do whatever. I was going to make efforts to like get around, you know, talk to everybody. Even if it was just a minute, I didn't care.

I was going to make a point of doing that. And I think I did better this time than most years. And I hope nobody felt like they got past. He never came and talked to me. Yeah. We want to foster our parisocial relationships. Oh, yes, absolutely. Yeah, we'd like to keep that going.

All right. Let's get to some stuff that's going on. Yes, sir. Be careful when you're taking the trash. out at night. Let me just say that. Okay. I had a little experience I'd like to like to share and it was it was brief and it was lame.

It reminded me a little bit of you discovering your flooding in the story. Okay. But this is a little worse because I knew exactly what it was and it was not good. So I go outside, it's dark or it's getting dark. Sun's going down here around I don't know, 839 now, something like that. Sounds getting real little big guy.

Yeah, man. So I go out there. See that new trailer by the way? Yes. I'm kidding me. We're getting real Hulk back. Well, it's a different timeline. Oh my gosh. Yeah.

What would mean different timeline? Well, it's the, it's the everyone's memory has been wiped of Spider-Man timeline. Oh, well, yeah. I mean, at the same timeline, it's, you know, we're still on 616, but it's, uh. Oh, I didn't know Hulk could go full Hulk anymore. I thought he was, uh, soft Hulk. Well, Banner explains that he's got a little inhibitor. And, uh, if you, you know, we watch She Hulk together.

He talked about that thing with his cousin. She-Hulky. That's right. His little gamma, keep me under control kind of thing. So he either on purpose or somehow has it taken from him or something goes wrong. I think it's taken from him. Yeah.

Based on this trailer and it looks awesome. I'm really kind of saying. I'm just really excited to see. Here's the thing. I know there's people who aren't watching the trailers and that's fine. So I'm going to be very careful. I like seeing a villain that got teased in the first MCU Spider-Man movie that's played by a character we loved or played by an actor we loved in Breaking Bad, bald guy. That'll help with a tattoo on his neck that is his character name, his villain name.

Sure. And I like the rumors about who Sadie Sink is. is playing. Yeah. I also in the trailer, I assume that too, well, again, there's somebody we see in the trailer. Hooded. Yeah, I think that's her. Yeah, I think that's her.

I think it is as well. But we don't know what that character is. There's speculation as to what the character. And if it's if it's who the speculation is and what it leads to in the next phase. Yeah. Which we know what the next phase is going to be. Then I'm fully on board, completely on. on board. Well, it's exciting. And also,

I didn't know the Hulk was in this until this trailer. So that was cool. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That was news to me. It's so cool. Yeah, the first, I think he, he, you do see him a little bit in the first trailer, I think. Oh, maybe. Oh, you know what? Yeah, because he's, um, yeah, he's talking to Peter. He seems all professorial. Yes. Yes. Exactly. Nobody knows who each other is or whatever. Okay. So in the current MCU timeline, nobody knows, uh, from, from what happened in the last movie, in the current time, from what happened, exactly. Nobody knows

who he is, right? That's the deal. Correct. Correct. Yeah. Dr. Strange in the process of, uh, wiping out everybody's memory of, uh, who Peter Parker is or, or that Spider-Man is Peter Parker. Right. Um, uh, kind of wiped it from everybody. And, and it was, it was Parker saying, well, I still want, Ned and MJ to remember. Oh, I still want Aunt May to remember and the Avengers and stuff like that. And it was his like his waffling on that that caused the thing to go out of control and create all the multiverse garbage that we had to deal with. It's freaking his fault.

You little bastard? It's his fault. Yes, exactly. Oh, just go home with Zendaya and knock it off. But yeah, that's awesome. I'm stoked to see how it plays out. We're getting some cool. We know, like we know Punisher.

We know Hulk. Because we see some red ninjas. I think there's another character that we can probably assume we're going to see. Yeah, I wondered about that. Somebody we've seen in a previous Spider-Man movie, but maybe not in his full suit. Yeah, I don't know. Tickets are bought. I'm ready to.

You're ready to roll, baby. I am ready to go. Once the date? When's really, when's, uh, July 30th for me, um, it says theater is July 31st, but it's that whole, well, we're really releasing it on 30, on the, on the 30th. So I don't know why they even do that. They should just say what they're going to do, you know. Right. Exactly. Exactly. Well, uh, yeah, tickets went on sale about 10 minutes before I bought them and the theater, I'm already like, like four seats from the edge as opposed to the center. Like things are,

the tickets are selling like crazy. How did you feel about the one? I'm not going to be specific about it because people aren't showing the trailer, but there's an aspect to the trailer that is controversial. Yes, that kind of maybe relates to the Toby McGuire Spider-Man. A little bit. And they explain it even in the trailer

kind of logically. Mutations and stuff. Sure. But I don't know. How do we feel about that? I'm all right with that. I feel like, I'm okay with that. If you're premise of the character is that he is he is

getting the abilities and abilities what's the other word I'm looking for of a spider like he's getting the abilities

and techniques of a spider then this feels like okay introducing it this way as a natural evolution as opposed to

I mean I didn't I didn't have a huge problem with it in the Toby McGuire deal. It was okay yeah it was okay

it was a choice it did it did become a great joke in the Andrew Garfield, Toby McGuire Tom Holland discussion. Yeah, that was pretty good. Yeah. But it also kind of, this kind of can help

retcon the Toby McGuire one. It kind of can, right? Exactly. You can say, all right, well, that can happen in this multiverse. Yeah, yeah. I just hope he doesn't go full manned spider because that's scary.

You don't want that. Yeah, that's a silly thing. You know what I mean? Eventually, Tom Holland. He's got a furry butt with a Zendaya tattoo on it. We see his eyes kind of get a little, a little all black. Yeah. Kind of looks like the dude from Limp Biscuit for a second there.

Yeah, I wonder what's going on there. I don't know. So I took the trash out. Right. Yeah, by gosh, we went places. Yeah, we went places. He got me excited about that trailer. So we went, go out there to do it.

I'm in bare feet because I'm lazy. And every time I do that, and I'm taking something out there, I think of dungeon crawler Carl. I'm like, boy, I hope they don't flatten the world. I have no gear with me, right? Just bare feet and nothing. Damn it, donut. Damn it, donut.

So I go out there and I'm very careful to navigate because I know that sometimes the direction where the things are, once in a while, the dogs will poo around there. And I'm missing it, dodging it. I think it's mostly cleaned up anyway. So I'm like, sweet, we got this. Put the can, shut it, start walking back all nonchalantly. stepped in the biggest freaking dog pie you've ever seen. Oh, geez.

And what do you do at that point? I know. And now begins the, you're not coming in this house until that is off that foot, Kim says. Right. So I go over into the clover that we're not supposed to have. Uh-huh.

H-O-A. And I just, I'm grinding that foot in that clover baby. Right. It's like wiping as much of that. And you feel like you may be getting, 80% of it off, but with every movement of your foot, you're putting another 10% back on. Yep, yep, that's what it feels like. So I just spend a lot of time moving patch to patch.

Trying to kind of like, you know, diminish over time. Basically using the entirety of a role of nature's toilet paper is what I did. Sure. Yep. Yep. And then I finally come up to the door. I looked down on my feet and it's like, they're clean, but I still don't want to walk on things. Like, no, gosh, no. Clean looking is not the same as microbial clean. So how close is your hose to the yeah, the other problem is the hose

is out, it's a long story but it's out and around the front because we have a spot that won't get water and we're trying to deal with it. Anyway, so what I do

is Kim, what Kim does is brings me the big chlorox, uh, Delio wipes things. Oh sure. Yeah,

yeah, bacterial wipes or whatever. Yeah. That works. Yeah. But now I have a weird, not bad, but like a little red rash from it.

From it. Oh, I don't know if it's from the, I think it's from the white. Oh, sure. Because it's a pretty, it is a pretty caustic substance on those wipes.

Yeah, these aren't baby wipes. There might even be a thing on the bottle that says not for, not for, uh, skin. Topical use or whatever they say. Right. Yeah. Yeah. So I may have, uh, so far it doesn't seem to, it's not really super in flames. I think I'm okay, but yeah.

Anyway, I'm just saying. I think it's better the alternative, though. Also, you know what else is better is that I didn't, if I'd have had shoes on, I wouldn't have known and I'd have walked to that in there. So in a way, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Right.

Right. Right, exactly, because that would be in the little cracks and stuff, and you totally would have gotten inside that. So that's the story I'm telling my wife. That's what I say to her. It's a good thing. Brian, let's talk about the change in the bike coverville bike business. So right now, the URL tiny.cc slash bike coverville. You've been using that, you wonderful people, to make donations to the Colorado MS-150 campaign. for the last two weeks here

before the ride in Logan, Utah. I still, I am not prepared. I don't feel prepared at all for this. I did another six-mile ride yesterday, hoping to do 10 this afternoon after Coverville, but we'll see. Oh, maybe I should do that right after TMS

while it's still a little cooler out. Yeah, we'll talk, we'll talk. But now I want to raise a little bit of money for the Logan, Utah ride. So if you use that same, that same URL, tiny.cc.cc slash bike coverville, you'll actually be donating to the Utah MS-150. I just have a goal on there of $250. I want to just raise kind of the quote-unquote minimum for them so that they don't feel like, well, here's this guy using his free passport ride to come and ride here. But anyway.

I didn't know they, Harmon's, we have a local store. chain like a grocery store chain called Hormons. And I don't know they sponsored this. Harmon's best damn bike ride. So it's that that's the Harmon. It's the, um, I think it's a store. It's the grocery chain. It's not a town or a lake or something.

I think it's probably, well, I can't see anywhere that confirms us, but it would make sense to me because they are, they're big on this sort of stuff. They're always sponsoring crap. Oh, that would make sense then. Yeah. Yeah. So that might be, I don't know, you might get free bread.

Harmon's best damn bike ride. Oh, maybe. Well, the, the snacks on the ride should be, should be great. Yeah. And remind people what days, actually remind me what days these, these are. Sure.

The day, the ride day is going to be the 27th of June, June 27th. We're driving back out there on the 26th. Driving back home on the 28th. Yes, another, another impromptu ride across the bottom of Wyoming,

past the Little America. These fair lands of ours. Oh, you know what? Actually, maybe because George is driving, Uncle George and Aunt Barb, were they're taking their EV.

Oh, nice. Yeah, it should be fun, actually. I wonder if they're going to want to drive through the mountains because it was Tina's big thing was she doesn't want to drive through the mountains. Right. You did the flat Wyoming business. Yeah, maybe they'd prefer it. I don't know, but that's great.

27th is also Dr. Jerry Tolbert's birthday. Oh, nice. I'm going to get up there and watch you. We're going to cheer you on as you fly by. Yeah. I appreciate it. that you don't have to. I want you though. I kind of want to go up there. I haven't been up to Logan since my daughter went to school up there. So cool. Well, I'm not going to complain. It's

going to be great to see you. Again, two weeks after seeing you. Yeah. We like to cram it all into a couple of weeks, everybody. That's right. I know I get to see KT data as well. So you guys, you know, you can hang out. Tina and Barb are going to be hanging out around the finish line area. So you guys can hang out with them and then when I roll in you can just go nuts. Yeah, we can hose you down or whatever we got to do. Jeez, please don't. Well, that's great. Bike or sorry, what's the URL again? Oh, tiny.cc slash bike coverville.

Go check it out. Get in there. Get her done. All right, you guys, we got a little bit of news before Wendy rolls in here. Let's get into it and see what happens. It's time for the news and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by the triumphant return of Coverville the show, the podcast, the second longest running podcast in the world, with a celebration of the music of Alison Moyet. You probably know her as the vocals of the band Yaz, or Yazoo, if you're on the other side of the pond. It covers today from folks like Susanna Hoffs, Jamie Watson, a new discovery of mine that I'm just in love with.

Lottie Ketner, Kessner, who isn't her real name. That's a pseudonym, and I can't remember the singer's real name, but she's the lead vocalist of a band called Trespassers William, and this is her side project. And all of her covers are fan-freakantastic. As well as, I think my favorite female vocalist of all time, a woman named or a performer named N-D-D-A-N. She's just got the, you know, I love Z-Berg, probably my second favorite, and I've talked about her on this. But N. Dane is just a favorite of mine. And anyway, you're going to hear a cover by her as well. All this and more coming up today.

At some point after a bike ride, just stay tuned to Coverville, Twitch.tv.TV slash Coverville. And you're going to see that show. What is? What is it Yazoo over there? What's going on there? I don't know. That's a really funny question.

Like, why do they call themselves? Because the original name of the band was Yazoo. maybe there was already an American Yazoo. Oh, that could be. Yeah, let me see if I can find the answer really quickly, because that is a really question. Yeah, I didn't actually even know this till today. I thought it was Yaz everywhere. Let's see, yes.

And by the way, the other half of Yaz is Vince Clark, who started out in Depeche Mode, for their just can't get enough their first album, Speak and Speak and Spell. And then did two albums with Alison Moyez Yaziaz, and then went on to Eres with a very similar vocalist in Andy Bell. very similar to Asimouye. Most people, like during that era, people mixed them up constantly. Easy, easy to do. Yeah. Let's see.

I don't see a reason. Let's see why they were called Yazoo. It's not because they say Zed or any of that bullshit, is it? Oh, God, Yaz, Zed. Yeah. Yeah, it'd be more like yet. No, it'd be, yeah. Yeah, Zed.

That's what it'd be. Yeah. I am not seeing, oh, here we go. Croyneumoye, the name Yazoo was taken from the specialist blues record label Yazoo Records. Okay. The decision led to a $3.5 million lawsuit threat by the label over the band's name, and coupled with the fact that the name Yazoo was already in use by a lesser-known American rock band. The group was renamed Yaz for the North American market.

Oh, all right. It's like why you have the Charlottons UK and other, why Squeeze was called, or UK, UK squeeze. a UK squeeze for their first album. It's like there's already a band nobody's ever heard of with the same name in America. Oops. Yep. I'd just go for the craziest name possible,

so I never had that problem. Well, hence frogpans. Yeah, frogpans. No one had it. That's right. Violent Fems. Perfect. Perfect.

Exactly. The perfect band name because no one ever was going to pick that. Right. Right. Exactly. For good reason, but you did it. Well done. All right.

Let's move on to the story. A celebrity border collie with 1.5 million followers was dognapped and eaten after it was sold to a restaurant for $27. Oh God, that just got dark. It got real dark, real fast. Wow. Yeah, he had 1.5 million followers on social media.

Dog was stolen, sold to this restaurant, and then eaten, according to his distraught owner. Chinese traveler blogger, Guo, and the eight-year-old dog Chituo, I think, Chuto, Chutu, Chutuo, something like that,

became internet stars after he started documented their adventures in Doilin, the country's version of TikTok. I thought they just had TikTok. I thought so too.

I thought that was the whole reason. Yeah. Problems was, oh, no, that's why the TikTok logo is a lowercase D because it's Duyan. Oh. Oh.

Is it? Yeah. Yeah. All right. And plus now we do the databases separately, so I think it's all, it's weird now.

Yeah, yeah. More dumb shit we do over here. Right. Anyway, China, let's see. The, oh, he disappeared on the 11th of May while he was being cared for by Giu's father. One of the owners overseas trips is where this was happening. South China Morning Post reported.

Surveillance footage is said to have shown two people taking the dog away in an electric scooter from the family home, prompting the blogger to cut shortest trip and return home to see his beloved pet or find him. two weeks later gau said he tracked down a man he suspected of the theft offered him 10,000 Juan, which is about 1,500 bucks. Returned the dog, but according to the post, the blogger was told the animal had already been sold to a restaurant for 180 Juan,

which is $27, slaughtered, and then eaten. Oh, my God, that's horrendous. They eat dogs over there. Didn't know it. Yeah. Nobody told it. They told me it was beef strips, those jerks, and then they laugh. I've told that story before, but I'll tell you what, never trust beef strips that are

all the exact same size and have taste buds on the end. Oh gosh. That's how I should have known. They're big old bumpers. It was dog tongue. Yeah. It was disgusting. I'll never,

and it was rubbery and terrible. And I can't believe I ate a dog's tongue to this day. You French kissed a dog. Oh, the worst kind too, because you get all up in there. You know, this dog, I ate the thing the dog tasted with. You ate the thing the dog cleans his butt with. Yeah. yes and other and who knows what else

dogs do with their tongues and other dogs butts yeah freaking horrifying oh geez yeah great regrets oh it's a terrible they played a joke on me though that was them who did it what did it right because they they says to me they they says these are beef strips

really good beef strips we have great beef here in China southern China it's some of the best beef you can have great why do they all look the same oh don't worry it's just how it's prepared oh okay cool nom nom nom nom Ha ha ha, ha, you ate dog tongue. Yeah. It's not a joke.

That's horrible. It's a terrible thing. Literally how it went. And it was not, I was not happy. Because I'm also in the middle of a country I can't get out of. I'm like, you know, what am I going to do? Right. Hurl all over the plate.

I didn't do that either. Right. Oh, we didn't tell you. Beef is the name of our dachshund. Come here, beef. All right. Anyway, there's that. That's a fun one.

Yeah. Yeah. Birds in the Ukraine, or in Ukraine, rather, there's no the. There's no the. It's easy for us to do that, though. I know. I don't know why we do it. Whoever got us start on that, just, you know, horrible.

Probably somebody in government, because they say stuff, you know, they screw it up all the time. Yeah, yeah. I don't trust them. I mean, there was that, you know, that beauty pageant contestant who tried to convince us it was the Iran and the Iraq because they don't have maps. That's right. I remember having her. What if she's up to? Oh, I don't know.

Poor, man. He's teaching at a university or something like that. Exactly. I'm just glad that things like, you know, if I could use your phone or me falling over on my bike or whatever, we're not funny enough meme worthy to have a staying power like Star Wars Kid or the Iraq or. stuff will haunt you until the end of the chocolate rain i mean it's like it's like thank goodness you have your you have your little 15 minutes of fame then you get re-emortalized in a weezer video and then uh then then then forgotten about leave

brittie alone that guy too yeah that guy they'll never live that down it'll follow you the rest of your life the whole rest of your life exactly trying to think of the worst one like if you're the guy that did um right like what is the thing that you just feel like you just can't show your face. Like, I like turtles, no problem. This kid can make appearances in Branson, Missouri, and get a signing table and stuff. Yeah, I don't think he's going to have too much trouble at all. He'll be all right. It's another one, though, like, uh, oh, I can't think of one. I can't think of a bad one. You know, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the maps gal, she and Miss Carolina, Miss, Miss Teen, South Carolina. And that's a, that's when you're going to get kind of teased for your whole life.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I can't think of there's got to be somebody who's done something so stupid. It's just... Yeah, what is the meme that... Is it a pub girl speaking of a stain on their family? She'd been identified. Have people following her around? I felt like she was...

Well, I don't know. I don't know. I sure hope she was in on that. I hope so. I hope that permission was asked and given in that scenario. I don't know. I have no idea. All right.

Anyway. Yeah. Let's get to this one. This is, okay, so here's the deal. Where am I? I got lost. Here we go. Birds in Ukraine are building nests from discarded drone fiber optic cables.

Wow. This is how nature heals, man. They just take our shit from our dumb wars and they make, you know, cool nest out of it. This is that background scene in the dystopian future movie that you're working on. That's right. Yeah. The birds with their fiber optic cable nests. This thing's right in itself these days.

Yeah. Has there ever been something as apocalyptic or cyberpunk as a bird nest made out of battle field drone fiber optic cables. The depressing site has been discovered in the Donbuss region of Ukraine, which has seen heavy fighting since 2014. It's 2014, really? It's been going on there. Wow.

Wow. When the actual invasion start? That wasn't until... I didn't think it was till after the pandemic, like 22, 2020, 2022, 2023. I think that's right. But there must have just always, there must always be some problem down there. Yeah. Yeah.

Anyway, this... Oh, the grape stomping lady. God. Yeah, no kidding. Oh, that poor lady, dude. Yeah. Trying to catch her breath. I've been there.

I would rather not be her. Get the all the air knocked out of you and all you can do is just make bad noises. Oh. I could be the, would you not eat my pants, lady? That's fine. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. That's funny. The guy that gets the lizard on him and panics and falls backwards, I could be him. Yeah. The hide your kid hides your wife. I mean,

that, you know, that made your wife, that gave that guy a career. It did. He ended up on the Kimmy Schmidt song. With that. I think he's still riding that pony.

He's got to be. I don't know how much more of him. Much more money is in that banana stand, but not much, probably. Right. Yeah, lightsaber kid is the tough one. That's a... Yeah, he's like a lawyer now. I think he's kind of come to grips so that he's cool.

Good. Good. I think. I thought I read something. There's some interview or something like that. Anyway, so these birds are making these cool nests. Let's see if I got a photo here. I mean, it would be better if they weren't making

I mean, I was going to say, yeah, the reason they've got access to all these fiber optic cables is, is not great. Sad, yeah. Here we go. This is, we'll zoom in. Wow.

It looks just like straw, but if you look at that really thinning stuff. Oh, yeah, it's like the sticks are being held together by fiber optic cable. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome, actually. It's got a cool effect, too.

If you put some light on one end of that fiber optic cable, that whole nets just lights up. Have it just pulsing. I'd be into it. That's cool. All right, birds, you win. Once again, the birds win. The birds find a way.

Birds always find a way. One final story, a man tackled the children off bikes and dragged one into his home after being ding-dong ditched for weeks, says police. Jeez, okay. They call it ding-dong-bitched.

Or bitched. Ditched. Ding-dong, bitch. Ding down bitch and then run. We called it. We called it doorbell ditching. Oh yeah. No,

we call it ding dong ditch. Yeah. I've never heard that. Really? That's funny. Yeah. That's weird. Is anyone else in the chat ever hear my way or am I the only one?

Is it a Utah thing again? Doorbell ditch. It was just doorbell ditching or sometimes just, oh, it was a, sometimes I think you just say ditching. I can't remember. I mean, there's. Oh, that's Dine and Dash. It's not Dine and Ditch.

Yeah. You called it that, right? Yeah, definitely Dine and Dash. Okay. What if you went to Hostess for dinner and they gave you a ding-dong and you didn't pay for it? Would that still be a ding-dong dash? If I didn't pay for it. Ding-dong and dash?

It'd be a ding-dong dash, bitch. I don't know what it would be. Anyway, so this guy had... Oh, a lot of people said there was a... a much worse name for it, like racist name. Wow, really? Really? Oh, I don't want to know what that is.

I don't want to know what that is either, yeah. I'm trying to imagine. I can't think of what that that would be. Well, why would it have a... It's interesting. People are saying that they called it Nikki, Nicky Nine Door. I've never heard of that. No.

Although that sounds like... It sounds like it's the borderline racist. Yeah. Or sexist, at least. Talking about Nicky's nine doors. Who knows what that even is? I don't know what that means. I don't know what to make of that.

It's such a fine line between the sexist and clever. Oh, shit. Oh, boy. Well, anyway, it takes us. He'd had it. This guy is in South Carolina. Yeah. His name is Bobby Frankenberger.

Just kidding. Facing charges after police said he attacked children here. Ding dong ditching him for weeks. Mount Pleasant Police said Chad Larson, 50, is charged with kidnapping assault and battery and of a high aggravated nature and assault and battery in the third degree. Police say the incident happened

Monday afternoon. He reportedly told police two weeks ago a group of children started ringing his doorbell and running away. Sometime during those two weeks, he drove around to try to track down these kids. They would ton them on their bikes, give them all kinds of shit.

He finally just took it in his own hands and like grab one of them to freak him out. Here's the problem with that. That's assault and battery. Yeah, and it's kidnapping. Exactly. If you're, it's literal kidnapping. I get it is frustration.

Like, if you're being tormented by kids. Yeah. And you're, you're just trying to live your life. Like, I get it. But, yeah. But you, if you get angry about it, you're giving them what they want and they're going to keep doing it. If you're like, ah, you got me.

All right. See you later, kids. Yeah. They'd be like, no, all right. Yeah. You come out. Here's what you do. You come out of you six, seven. Yeah, that's right.

Leave this guy alone. Yeah, leave this guy alone. we're not talking to this guy. Yeah. That's the answer to getting all the kids bugging you out of your life is just do six seven of them. That's right. That's right. Skittany toilet. Yeah.

Okay. All right. Thanks, grandpa. We're out of here. Exactly. I'm to ding dong ditch somebody else. All right. Let's get going with Wendy.

We've got a little thing to plan that we're going to bring her in here. Something wrong, Batman. Has anybody seen Wendy? We have recently actually here in Salt Lake City. She was here for the event and we had a great time. Hi, Wendy. How are you? Hi, I saw you both.

Yeah. Yeah. You did. I feel like I, it was a weird experience because I feel like I saw more of Wendy at the event than I normally do when you're in town for anything else. Oh, for sure. So, I mean, people kept seating us next to each other. Yeah. That was great.

I feel like I ruined our chance of the trivia. Present company included. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then I sat. Well, it was so fun. And then I sat next to you during the signing part, which would, I think that.

think that's hard for anyone to be next to you during the signing situation. Yeah. Were you before or after Scott? Oh, before. Okay, good. Because I was going to say, we know Scott's kind of going to be the holdup in the signing line. So Bobby's like, put him as close to the end as possible. It does get a little bogged down over there, but it was funny because was it the same line, Wendy? Wendy told me that somebody came holding their thing they wanted to have signed close to their chest, looked at Wendy with like a weird face and said, I don't know who you.

Yeah. And just kept moving. Like I said, oh, do you want me to sign that? And she just held it to her chest and said, I don't know you. That was, there was a, there was a really, so like I sat next to Tom Merritt and Monica for the first day. And then I sat next to Scott Fletcher on the second day. And it was always a mat like you, you signed something and then you hand it back to the person until they say, oh, no, I want, you know, the next person to take. Because you don't want to assume, right? You don't want to just slide it over. Right. You don't know. Because then it leads to more awkward like, oh, no, I didn't want Fletcher to sign that. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, Scott, I could just sign it over because I was pretty sure they wanted to sign up. Pretty safe. Yeah. I was like, don't put me next to him. But it was really fun to get to interact so much. It was great.

Yeah, it was great. I loved it. Wendy and Taylor got up and did a version of Bust a Move. Not a version. The version of Bustamove. And that was awesome. I'd forgotten how good. And she just had mouth surgery tailored it.

So I was impressed that she pulled this out. Yeah. So she's got like stitches in there and everything. And she's like, I don't know if I can rap, dad. And I said, just give it a shot. But she used to, in high school, her and her friends would just fill the house with the sound of that song. And just do it perfectly down to the exact lyric of every line. So having her get up there and do that was like really fun to watch.

And I realized something. If you're going to do karaoke in the world, you need to go in front of a room of supportive nerds. If you don't, it's so. fun. Like, I had a blast. What if you're, what if you're an older, what if you're an older guy and you want to sing a very dirty song? What if you want to do that? How about that? Gary? Oh, geez. I did tell him. I did it. I said, Gary, last time we did this, there was only 12 of us in a room.

And this time, I mean, if you're ready to out yourself and he's like, I'm ready. Yeah. And he did it. He nailed it. It's so funny. It makes that, that song with Gary singing it is nothing, is unlike anything I've ever witnessed in my life. It's the best. because it's like it's like he's only ever heard the chorus. He's saying it like he was unfamiliar with any other part of the song,

but the F-bomb. Yep. And it's so great. And it's so wonderful. It's like, you know, house blend. I went outside to hang with my animal

bird friends. But then he gets to the chorus and he just really sells it. Yeah. It's just perfectly done. Right. Some really good numbers. I was really impressed with your.

tour. Wow. Yeah, Brian. Brian's a little stranger to the Karoki. That was my first one. I can't say that was my first shaggy because I did it for film sax song, but it was my first ever live shaggy. It's really good. It's pretty good.

Don't know. It's fantastic. Well, it's great having you as always, and we had a real good time. I wish there was more time, but what are you going to do? Wendy, we were having you back for our first Therapy Thursday post nerdtacular. And this one is related a little bit. Because it comes from somebody who talked to you at the event and then sent this message.

And it says it's okay to use their name. So I'll tell everybody this is Winmagus, who is also in our chat today. It goes like this. Hey, Scott, I asked Wendy a question at NT. And she said it would be a good topic. Feel free to use my name. Hey, Wendy, one of your previous therapy Thursday segment, she made a throwaway comment at the end that I immediately questioned and was hoping you could expand on. on it. To paraphrase, you said that humans only feel emotions for 90 seconds. I look at the research and it's more involved in that. While it looks like there is real positive things you can do based on this,

it does look like it can have pitfalls. So asking an actual therapist seems like a good idea. Thank you for everything you do. You both do so much good work that you never see. He says when Megas PS likely for this question, there isn't a ton of follow up if you need. But just in case, here's some stuff to add and clarify. cis white male, 42 years old, youngest of six children, parents still together,

married one teenager, psych DX, ADHD. I don't know what psych DX. So he's been diagnosed with. Oh, okay. ADHD, anxiety and depression,

grew up LDS, now agnostic, personality nerd slash geek. I love that last one. Yeah, it's good. He gave a lot of, what makes me laugh is it's like,

you guys, everything I dream of in these emails. Come on. Everyone tell me that. We almost need that as like a form that they have to fill out when they submit it. Yeah. Honestly, we should do that. Why shouldn't? Why can't we? Why don't we? We should do that? We should. Let's do it. We can and we should and we will. And we will. The one question I have that he didn't answer so maybe he can write it in the chat was, let's see, it does look like it can have pitfalls. So asking the actual therapist seems like a good idea. What pitfalls is he talking about? Yeah, I don't know. Is there a pitfall for feeling your feelings for 90 seconds?

The pitfall that it's only 90 seconds, maybe. Maybe. Or that saying to somebody, 90 seconds is all you get. I don't know. I just love to know what he thinks the pitfalls are. Yeah. We can get an answer out of them live here. But yeah, I don't know what that means either.

But do you know of any pitfalls to the 90 second thing? Well, I think it's just understanding. I think the thing that it's ultimately good for is just that it's hope, right? That you are like, oh, okay. From the moment a trigger occurs and then the brain releases the chemicals like, you know, a cortisol or noradrenaline or something, you'll have a physical sensation. You will feel the feeling, accept it without, and here's the key, without overthinking, fighting, stuffing, any of the things we tend to do with uncomfortable emotions, right?

And this chemical surge will naturally flesh through the body, you know, like you'll get a minute and a half of that and it moves on. So when someone says the 90-second thing, what they're saying is what is the biological underpinning the time of that elapsing? I'm not sure it's 100%. You know, I have not deep dive into the research of 90 seconds of feeling something other than to say what I have used it for, right? I mean, we can say your biology takes that long to process that thing. But that's, if only, you know what I'm saying? If only, yeah. was that easy. So that was probably my throwaway comment ultimately was, hey, if we stopped fighting and just felt a feeling, you know, it's, it's over and done with 90 seconds. So here, we just

got to follow up. He says the cons could be that it oversimplifies complex feelings that can lead to invalidation. Oh. Yeah. Oh, totally. I get that. So kind of like you're like, okay, just feel it for 90 seconds and move on. Yeah. Well, I don't think anyone's going to go around and do that. I think, I think it's more for the, and if they do, if you have a therapist tell you, okay, you can only get to feel this for 90 seconds and then we're going to talk about something else. I mean, maybe, maybe no. But it really, I think, is for the person, right? When you think about, even when I said it the first time or even now, when you think about 90 seconds of feeling something, think of something that's tormented you. It's woken you up at night.

You can't stop thinking about and you're feeling super hurt or sad or grief or something. And you're like, there's no way that's 90 seconds, right? So I think the value in it is to show that if we allow, and this is especially for cis, what I like his list, where does this list. Yes, yes. There's 42-year-olds, specifically white male. I'm talking to you guys. Yeah, I know.

We got a lot of those. You guys. But that it is to feel the feeling, to allow it to come and go is really going to be a rarity. So I think it's the point of it is ultimately to motivate a willingness. to try something. So like an addictive craving, I can't remember the exact number, but it isn't super duper long to feel an addictive craving, and it will pass.

It's worse with certain things like meth, right? But that craving isn't a permanent state of experience, nor is hunger, nor is, you know, we will vacillate, you know, body stages and states a lot. But because we have this brain that does this thing where it's like, oh, yeah, this is what we're going to think about now. Cool. And it will just keep it alive, if that makes sense. Or it will shove it somewhere, hoping it doesn't emerge. And then it's just building and building and building over time. That's the thing I kind of utilize this

a little bit for is that you can do anything for 90 seconds, right? Yeah. And so if you could do anything for 90 seconds, what if you just felt the feeling and it passed? It might feel like the longest 90 seconds of your life, but it's possible, right? Is the idea? I wish I would have thought of this the other night when I saw half that pizza left in the fridge. And I could have let 90 seconds pass and not done it. Just wait that like a little timer. Exactly. Yeah.

Yeah. Actually, that's not a bad idea. So next time you go, all right. Hey, S-I-R-I or whoever you talk to. Send a set at a timer for 90 seconds and then you have to walk outside. Like you just change temperature. Yeah. You can't be in a place where you're still looking at it.

Can we looking at it? Yeah. Yeah, go wash your hands in cold water, like something very different, physiologically, have that happen. And then see what happens. I mean, it's worth trying. And so all of you, 42-year-old males who are listening, I want all of you to try this where you're feeling a feeling or it's starting, you can't quite tell. And just set a timer. And here's the thing.

Just allow yourself to feel it. And what most people are going to notice, because A, if you're. you've done something different than your whole life, then just feel it, you're going to zero be able to do this, by the way. Because everything in your whole system will be built around whatever the thing is you've been doing. So let's say as a kid, you would get your hands slapped if you ever asked for anything you wanted. Okay. You were told yourself as you're greedy. I'm just pulling that out of a hat, right? But in so many words, oh, I mean, I have, Scott, we have extended family stories now. I'm so sad you didn't come to that reunion. It was

I know. Hey, you can blame, you know, people being stuck in town and us entertaining. I know it's not your fault. But man, I was ready for it to be really quiet and everyone to feel awkward. And it was like family therapy, man. It was awesome. I'll tell you about it later. But realizing like sometimes there are people were related to who had told their children really terrible things. Let's just say that. And so maybe your parent or, you know, caregiver or a teacher or someone who has influence on you really made you feel bad for wanting anything or, like, told you were selfish or greedy. Yeah. And you're a kid. And then you have to survive that. So this feeling of wanting something has to either go into some really dark places for it to be allowed out or unhidden and no

knows or it has to be shut down, right? Or something like that. So the 90-second thing is, imagine something shows up that you want and you're like, I want that. And you're going to have your brain go, but bad people want that or a feeling, a tightness in your chest. You're going to have a million other things happen besides just purely feeling the feeling and having it go away. Because it's now, it's complicated. It's been complicated. So that is not a thing. that, you know, anyone's just going to be like, oh, I felt it for 90 seconds, and I'm moving on if you've had a real life. Now, if you are a new, you're a new creature to this planet, you probably can do this. So if you're a parent to anyone or, you know, have some influence on some young folks, like really letting them just feel something and get through it is really powerful.

I remember one time, I'm sure I've told this story before, Pete was just crying on the couch for some reason. I don't know. And I go and I sit on the floor and I'm kind of rubbing his back and I'm like, are you okay? And I sound so nice right now. And he could see right through my bull crap and he's like, mom, I know we're in a hurry and you just want me to be done. And I was like, yeah, you're right. I love Peter.

Could you hurry? And he said to me, I just need to feel this feeling first. And that's a kid. Some wisdom coming out of that kid. intuitively knows if I don't if I shove it down it's coming out sideways for him and it comes out 10 minutes later sideways so he just has to process it's just it it comes pretty naturally to him unfortunately I don't shove it back at his down his throat or something I just like you're right well nice call okay I'll just be in the car because in my mind I'm being so whatever but he could

actually hear the truth in my voice right and I think most of us hear the truth kids hear the truth in your voice. They hear it in the voice of the teacher. They know when they're not liked or they're not given space or they're not seen as okay. And then they have to protect against that. So that's why it's so complicated. So if you have any shot at feeling your feelings, sometimes you've got to work through those layers and get to where those feelings are. So that's one of the very cool parts about therapy is the catharsis that comes when someone is finally free to feel a feeling for 90 seconds. So I look at, I forgot, he said his name.

What's his name? Winmegis is his name. Oh, windmegis, yeah. Windmegis. Windmegis. He's got, you know, there's a couple of things in his little bio here that is, let's just take the ADHD anxiety and depression. ADHD kids are, you have that diagnosis if you had it as a kid.

So sometimes we all think, oh, I got it as an adult. You don't get ADHD as an adult. You get distracted because of your phone as an adult, but you get a true diagnosis because you have struggled with it since childhood. That's an important component, right? And anyone who tends to have that... That's interesting. I thought you could...

So you can't develop it later in life or something. No. No. It's, that's part of the question and testing is that, you know, and most of us may we don't have a great sense of how we were as kids in this way. but often someone was telling you to sit down all the time or pay attention all the time or you could have a couple other different kinds of symptoms or sometimes kids will have been diagnosed as like a fourth grader or a second grader and then they kind of moved on

and parents didn't do much with it or whatever and then now they're in their 40s going yeah I remember that I mean I've met a couple adults who were like oh I was diagnosed this as a kid and I'm like okay well sorry you went your whole life without any help but here we go you know But there's a common experience. You know, it's typically a very bright kid with ADHD who gets feedback that is unkind. Maybe the hyperactivity lends to, it's harder to make friends. You know, the inattentive kind you're kind of seen as spacing out all the time. And it's hard to really make, you know, good connections that way.

Or you get teased or the most common ADHD experience is that you're not performing to expectations like you really should be you're so smart why can't you blah and so you have so many self-esteem hits that happen as a younger person with ADHD and and figuring out how to compensate and force yourself to pay attention because you know you need to or whatever the thing is that when you then are later in life trying to feel your feelings you are I mean so many things that came naturally to you were problematic. And that is a tricky one to get over. So that is a thing that, you know, I don't know, I'm guessing here.

Maybe he has some experience with feeling some of those feelings I've described growing up with ADHD. And then anxiety and depression, often, you know, we have absolute genetic links to depressive, you know, presentations for people. But there is often a chronic stress, a difficult childhood, a nobody let me feel any of my feelings. I wasn't safe to be myself in any way. And you will, that will absolutely increase your anxiety because you have to survive life. And then depression can come from masking for so long.

So we have organically developing, think of it as life. It creates anxiety and depression, not just the biopause. Um, sometimes it's a fun combo. Um, that's usually the people I'm seeing is there tends to be a fun combo. Um, that's not fun at all. And so he might have a bunch of things that sort of occurred, um, in younger years that led to feelings, maybe not being so safe. I know he's saying, hey, she mentioned this and I'm now making it all about him. But, uh, that's what happens when you give us your name. Um, yeah, but there's, there's a couple things that, you know, just could be intertwined.

And I think for people, what happens is they maybe sometimes for the first time get to practice feeling with someone who's really safe. And it's just game changing in someone's life, just getting to be themselves, dressing, acting, talking, living the way that comes naturally to them. And that is really part of their identity rather than hiding. And that's, you know, that's one thing I thought, you know, I had to describe Nurtacular to a couple people

because I just got home last night so I stayed in Salt Lake for a while and I kind of think Zoe was on my plane. Oh, really? She left. She easily could have been because she's, yeah, she'd be going back to Minnesota.

Yeah, she's saying in Minnesota for another week with her friend. Oh, that must have been her. I just saw someone walk by and I want. I think I'll bet that was her. She was here yesterday to sign something and we hung out for a while and just showed to the studio and stuff.

And she says, yeah, I'm getting on a plane tonight or whenever or I guess today or no yesterday, whatever was. It was five. To go back to Minnesota and I thought, oh, shoot, Wendy's already there. I didn't realize you were here an extra day. No, I just thought I was imagining things. I was very tired.

Who knows? Anyway, what was my point? I've been doing this for days, so don't feel bad. I know. I'm so tired. As, you know, I was describing it to different friends and people and they were like, is it actually called nerdtacular? Are you calling it that?

Everyone thought I was like mocking. Oh, like it was a, right. Like, yeah, you know, it's never Comic-Con, but I'm really calling it nerdtacular. That's great. Dorkfest. I thought the banner was incredible. Anyway. And so I'm describing it and they're just like, what?

And I'm like, let me just say it is, I said, you should never attempt karaoke for the first time without these people. Yeah. They are so lovely. Yeah. So just. It's about a safe place to do your first karaoke. okay, then anywhere else you could do it. Like this is.

And this feeling of like everyone's just going to be themselves. And that's actually what I love the most about that lady who said, I don't know you, is I was like, yeah, you don't. Why would you want my signature? Thank you for the honesty. You know? And there's just like a lot of, a lot of like love and quirkiness and being yourself and safety to do so. I think one of the things that was so moving to me was, you know, our cute little friend

with who is surely on the spectrum walking on the side of the ballroom and every there's just nothing but love and acceptance and happy's there and yeah nobody it was one of those things that I kept picturing myself like let's go back I don't know 30 years and if I'm in a situation where a kid is is stimming and you know doing what they do and then making sound and all that during a thing where it's some you know everyone's listening to somebody it would have been very that's a very different vibe because i just know people are a kid what's going who is his parents bad that whole thing like on an airplane feeling like oh that'd shut up but if it it's weird this time the sound of that didn't actually made me go yeah we're cool man everybody here wants to help these people totally

yeah and a man and also i think there's a lot of empathy for what it's probably like to have to to deal with that. If you don't deal with that in your own life, like nobody's sitting there going, I can't hear. I need kids doing this. And we knew it was working for the,

for the kid because if I may have this wrong, but I think the parents said, the wider his circle, the more he trusts the space he's in, the safer he feels. Yeah. So it was like he would do like small circles at first and sometimes barely move,

but then eventually we'd kind of make a big wide berth. And that was a sign that he felt safe in there. And that made, that made me really happy to hear that. Yeah. And for me, I kept thinking, how many places in the world can you be those parents and let your kid where you can sit and listen and your kid can also be okay? Like that's got to be not everywhere. And so it's just, it was really beautiful. And I, I think it's a really special place. It's hard to like explain it to people because they have their own, you know, they aid, maybe have never experienced community like that where they're fully. themselves and maybe they have. I don't know. But it is, it's, it was just. Yeah, it's really something. It's hard to explain, though, to people. Like you said, some people think you're making fun of it with the

name. Other people are like, well, what is it? And you're like, I don't know. I don't know how to explain this. It's in essence. It's just this cool thing. The community is a special little place and I don't think I even have my head around why we even deserve it. So, yeah, it was really awesome. Well, in this particular case, I think that this has actually helped me to. day because this 90 second idea. Yeah. I have this problem where time, a time so weirdly fluid for me. So last night, I'll give you an example.

I'm brushing my teeth. I have an electric toothbrush. And there's a setting for like the big thorough once a day one, right? Like the one at night where you're like, put it on extra long and it does the massage thing at the end and all that. And I think that the, I'm like, is this taken forever for that first zone? Because it'll flick four times. right you go up to you know it tells you when to move and the bottom one bottom right is just taken forever i'm like what is going on here and then it finally clicks over i'm like oh okay i didn't

miss the click and then i go over to the right side and then i'm thinking of something else and suddenly that one's over and it feels like a fraction of the time that the other one took i feel like and maybe others can relate to this i feel like i'm at a stage where i need to get my hands around quantifying my time more better than i do now because i spent a lot of years just kind of winging it. It's like, wow, time. What is it? Who cares? Go. Whatever. And now it just feels uneven and the kids are growing up too fast, but also this thing took really long and it felt like it was forever. But it really wasn't. It's the same time. We're all in the same time, you know? And this is a good thing to remember that you can stop for a minute. Think about that

pizza and why you shouldn't do it for 90 seconds. Let the craving pass, you know. Bringing it back. Yeah. Yeah. I'm all about this. And actually, that's a really. a great example. You just described why 90 seconds of feeling an emotion is so difficult because that could feel like 20 minutes because you are

present and that's what happened when you had your 30 seconds on the bottom right, you were present. You were like, okay, this thing right now and you had a story that it should be faster and the bendability of time was present

which is like it can feel longer, her short and it just depends on where you are in your head, right? Which is why when someone can do miraculous things or, you know, like that one dude who used to get in really cold stuff and we'd all go, what, you know, is that they, you have to meditate, you have to get in a different state of mind. You have to be in a sort of shift your conscious. You are super conscious of how long it was taking. So it made it literally almost painful versus I thought about something else in time flew,

which is why as humans were constantly tempted. We're tempted to distract, we're tempted to get out of the moment and be somewhere else because it doesn't hurt. And that is the feeling to feeling 90 seconds, avoiding stuffing, seeking entertainment, eating it away, drinking it away, whatever means we store it. And this, I don't, I haven't checked on this number, but seven years. I think that's also just to scare everyone because like, what? But kind of like you're never processing through things. you are just storing and it's piling up. And so anytime fear comes along or anytime sadness comes along and you shove it down,

you know, there is a consequence biologically, emotionally, and, you know, you're carrying this around. So that's the thing about you just described. If you feel the pain of it, you want to get away. We're built to do that. And now we have every tool at our disposal to not feel things. And instead, we just need to set a timer. and feel something for 90 seconds. And that sounds all very much more.

Yeah. And then everybody's happy and we're all good. All fixed. Yeah. It's great. That's great. That's great. It's super fixed.

Seems real. Speaking of fixing things, everybody should be bookmarking the no better you.com website because there's always something cool happening. I know you've got a new program coming up. Anything you want to say about it? Yeah.

It's going to be maybe August. I have to decide. I'm teaching at that one fancy school in Boston again in this next couple weeks. And I got a full. focus. So when that's done, it will jump into the happiness class, which will be good. I feel like everyone could use a little happiness. I agree. We could use a little happiness. And it's the science of it. So you really get to understand like how this actually works, how you can legitimately increase it.

And rather than, you know, even, even what we were talking about today is an example of how to increase happiness scientifically, right? To feel the feeling and have it leave. We know. We know, We know it's eating that pizza. It's food. It's food and spending money. Don't bother going to know better you. Just food and spending money are the ways to happiness. I have a great idea.

Yeah. What if everyone for the next six weeks? Just eats whatever they want and watches whatever they want and never, never does anything that's not just hedonically pleasing. Oh, great idea. Wow. Hidonically pleasing. Edonically.

And I wanted to request a song so the Tadpool can celebrate with me. This is not a solo achievement by any means. And I've considered this podcast to be a part of my support network from the beginning. We're happy to do that for you, Carol. Yeah, we'd be glad to be that.

I won't be able to join the NerdTacular Fund because it's the same weekend as Founders Day, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for a future return and enjoy a weekend with about 10,000 of my closest alcoholic friends instead. Grow in Sobo. Sobo was hoping it would sound like sobriety. Darrell in Ohio. Ohio. Nice. Nice.
