Starting point is 00:00:00 Jimmy Hendricks never really said, excuse me, while I kiss this guy. He did say support TMS today at patreon.com slash TMS, though. Coming up on the morning stream, more like Olivia Neutron bomb, am I right? Volcanic onion. A regal with cheese. Where is Africa? Dunaway's not here, man. Nitrates and popcorn and butter, oh my.
Starting point is 00:00:20 Worse than Schwarma. Cold soup has no business going in my mouth. How much for you to tug on my satellite? Send a couple droids up to fix it. I don't like super novi. Never put resin in your eye. The Big Johnson contingent. Sunfish Pignada.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Get out the cold bowls with Bobby and more on this episode of the morning stream. I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable. I'm not trying to make you anything at all. But this feeling doesn't come along every day. You don't know something that kind of irritated me back in 1983? The Morning Stream. Talent in the can, ladies and gentlemen. Hello and welcome to TMS.
Starting point is 00:01:30 This is the morning stream for Monday, August 3, 2006. I am Scott Johnson. That is Brian Nibit. Hello. Good morning, good sir. One of my favorite, one of my favorite Scott Fletcher intros. Oh, it's amazing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:45 I always wanted to know what he was drinking. I don't think he's... It's talent in a can. Yeah, just talent in a can. We could all use a six-pack of talent in a can. That's right. That little audio music clip, well, music. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:57 You want to call it that, sure. It took me a second. It took me until the opening music of the TMS theme to figure out what song he was singing. Yeah, it's one of the worst karaoke performances I've ever seen. It's pretty horrendous. Yeah, absolutely. You know what? I've got another one for you.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Okay, all right. Because some of you may not be aware of this. And for those of you wondering, it's, I honestly love you by Olivia Newton-Jah. Oh, thank you. Sorry, yes, we should have had a little follow through on what the title was. The big hit that was that. I guess it was kind of a hit. It was all right.
Starting point is 00:02:31 It was a hit. Oh, no, it was a big hit for her. Yeah, it was like before her, before I think the grease stuff. This was like, oh, pre-Greece, weird. Pre-Greece, yeah. I never think of her pre-grease. Along with like, please, Mr. Please, and, yeah. For me, it was Greece, Zandadu, physical.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Sure, sure. No, there was a whole, there was a whole business before that with O-N-J. Yeah, it sounds like a hot night with your date. Oh, N-J, a little O-N-J. Yeah, a little bit. Sounds like a disease. Oh, man. No, went to the doctors, says, I've got only.
Starting point is 00:03:05 A little ONJ. It'll clear up though. You put a little cream on it. It'll be fine. Brian, I'm going to play something that's maybe worse, but also it's to celebrate something. If you guys are not aware, yesterday it was Brian Ibbett's birthday. And I found the perfect karaoke sung version of this birthday song by this Indian creator I follow. And it was just too good not to play it. Eastern Indian. Eastern Indian. You'd say Native American or you'd say indigenous people.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Yeah. Yeah. We're none of us are really. Hopefully we're not. I mean, I don't, has anyone asked the indigenous folks how they prefer it? Yeah. Kay doesn't like, I mean, she prefers Native American or indigenous people. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:48 All right, good. I just always wonder. My daughter-in-law. Sometimes our white guilt gets in front of us and I never know for sure. Like I've got Japanese friends that, like someone will get offended that I'll do the whole thing like from, from an animal. me. Yeah. You're making fun of a culture thing or whatever.
Starting point is 00:04:06 No, we're making fun of a sound that we hear on a cartoon all the time. Yeah. You know, it's, yeah. But people have done that. I've had people get after me. And then I'll talk to a friend who's Japanese and they'll go, we don't give a shit. Yeah. Do it all you want.
Starting point is 00:04:20 And he's like, it is, it is weird. He's like, yeah. It does not bother us. Whatever, you know. Doesn't have that problem. But anyway, so here it is. This is a guy from India, the country of India. I follow him.
Starting point is 00:04:31 And he does English covers. of songs and he did this one and I just had to play it. So this is for you, Brian. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday to you.
Starting point is 00:04:51 And it only did the one bit again because it doesn't know your name, obviously. But I like to think that if he could, he would have said Brian Abbott. Yeah, exactly. If he could, he would have. I do like, I mean, that is the thing, right? the, oh, like the, you know, that's in the... They have to do it in lots of songs and stuff. Every song, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Every Bollywood song I've ever heard has got that. So, sure. Yeah, why not? I hope you had a good one. How to go? How was the best thing? It was nice. You know, we did, we went to a tepaniaki place, a little habachi Friday night with
Starting point is 00:05:24 crazy neighbor and, well, friends, neighbors, Uncle George, Aunt Barb, a big group of us. And that's the way to do those places with the big group. Like you're, you're, exactly. Just you and a girl? I don't know. I mean,
Starting point is 00:05:40 I guess on a date, sure, but you're, here's the thing. It's not as fun. If it's like a date, you got to make sure you get the end, the corner,
Starting point is 00:05:47 right? Because you, you, otherwise, it's like you're sitting on a bus bench. You're not really able to, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:54 you got to turn and talk and you can't do that sort of thing. Yeah. So go for a corner if it's just two people. And, but, and there's, a whole time you're not going to be able to talk to each other because the guy is like slamming his his spatulas onto the metal griddle and he's making the the volcano and he's blowing his little
Starting point is 00:06:14 train horn going to do to making it go across the thing yeah every trick this guy did by the way like every well that was going to ask you like how benny hana is this it is full on benihana is and it's you know uh there's the whole thing where it's like uh tossing a piece of broccoli into everybody's mouth around the table and cracking the egg or spinning the egg on the spatula and then flipping out to his hat and then doing the onion volcano. By the way, I did the onion volcano on my blackstone because once you get a blackstone, you make your smash burgers, you make your fried rice, you make pancakes, but at some point you are going to try to do the onion volcano.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Describe that for me because I'm not sure what that is in my head. Absolutely. So you basically take an onion and you you slice one big slice through the waist, the whitest part of the onion. So you've got rings. Okay. And then you, because an onion has, I guess you go a little bit above the waist, because it curves in, you separate those rings and then you put the whitest ring on the bottom. And then you take the next whitest ring. And because it's narrow, each one is narrower at the top, you can. can stack them and it makes like a little pyramid. Okay. So that's forming the volcanic mountain shape.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Exactly. All right. Then you put cooking oil or alcohol or something inside. They use their cooking sake and that's a really good thing because you want you want something that's going to burn off quick and not sit there and be a fire for a long period of time. Oh, I see. So alcoholics, especially the cooking stuff's going to. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:02 The whole idea is flash fire and get it out of it. Or even just some straight up alcohol. A little vodka if you've got it. Yeah. And then you take a, hopefully one of those long lighters. So your thumb isn't right by the burn hole. Oh,
Starting point is 00:08:16 the kind you do for your, your barbecues in the backyard. Exactly. The ones that have the long stem on them. Yeah. You could probably even use, you know, it's in there somewhere,
Starting point is 00:08:26 but one of those like USB chargeable taser lighters. Oh, yeah, I got a little one of those. I love that. Yeah. And then you light it and, you know, all the alcohol comes out the top of the volcano. And so it just lights a little fire and it looks really cool and you can, you know, as long as. Does it run off the, does the flaming liquid run off the side like lava for a second? It doesn't.
Starting point is 00:08:49 No, because there's, you know, it's, I guess it is kind of boiling in there, but you're not going to use so much alcohol that it should. Yeah. You shouldn't use so much alcohol that it's even going over the top ring. Oh, I want to make one of these now. Yeah, it's fun. Just, you know, have a person nearby with an extinguisher. Have your fire marshal friend come over and be a part of it. Man, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:09:21 I've got a black, it's not Blackstone brand, but one of those. And we've never tried this. I'm going to have to try it. Oh, yeah, yeah, do it. and those man i love my blackstone cooked a steak on there last night it was so good so good um but uh no that was fun uh did that kind of mellow day saturday it's just me and tina for most of the day we hung out um uh watched a movie uh like a little streaming thing that i probably will use for a future uh future recommendal um yeah mellow mellow
Starting point is 00:09:56 the night. We got some wings. And then last night for the actual birthday, neighbors opened up the pool. We had some more neighbors come over and we all just kind of hung out in the pool and it was a great time. Nice. That sound like the perfect birthday weekend. Really, really good. Yeah, exactly. I don't need like, I don't know. We went to, you know, we went to another state and did this, that there and, you know, had dinner at the fanciest restaurant we could find. It's like, no, you know, just being with the people. I don't even care if it's a McDonald's, just being with. the people that we like being around, you know? Yeah, no, that's the, you have it right.
Starting point is 00:10:32 That is exactly the right thing. Yeah. Makes me want to do that for the rest of all holidays from now on. Exactly. And saw Spider-Man. Spider-Man, we definitely saw Spider-Man as well. Yes, you do. You saw with a great group of people.
Starting point is 00:10:45 I'm jealous. You know, I saw mine with Tina. I'm happy about that. Sure. You know, if I could have seen it with Tina and all of you and your people that were there, Friday night, yeah. That would have been incredible. So we had, I'll give, I'll name them.
Starting point is 00:11:00 There are a couple of people whose names I just don't know and I feel terrible that I don't. But please reach out to me and correct me because you were awesome to, it was awesome to see you all. But anyway, it was Kim, me, Nick Carter and Alicia also went. So Big Johnson contingent. And then KT Data was there. Rose Kitty was there. This is KT Data's favorite, really only movie theater he goes to. So this is why we met there because they have a, oh, cool.
Starting point is 00:11:24 It's the only, um, what's it called? Not Royale. A regal? Regal. Jeez. Regal. In French, France, they called the Royal. The Royal.
Starting point is 00:11:36 The Royal. Yes. With cheese. And he was there. Rose Kitty was there. Squishy-twitchy was there down from, he came down from freaking Wyoming. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Yeah. He's more dedicated than me. He has apparently has a place in Park City, so they, you know, they have somewhere to go. That's still another, you know, 45 minutes from where we were. Yeah. I got to meet him and his wife. Hootie was there.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Ryan Norta all the way down from Provo was there. Kay Katsumi came. She's always great to see. And then this couple whose name, I can't, I don't know it. I don't think they've ever told me their name. So I don't know their names and I feel terrible that I don't. I should have probably reached out to, you know, Kevin probably knows it and I just should have asked. But they're all wonderful.
Starting point is 00:12:19 They were all super nice. We had a great time. And afterwards went to this really like old, I want to say 40 plus years. year old ice cream parlor kind of place that's just been in Utah forever. It's run by this one small family. They've never expanded beyond the state. It's called leather bees. It's really nice. We used to take all our dates there in high school. It's that kind of place. Sure. Makes sense. Yep. And we hear, well, they're open until midnight. We didn't get out of the movie until like 1030. It was late. And so we're like, oh, you know, let's go there. I think we're going to be okay. And we were,
Starting point is 00:12:52 but I thought we'd walk in there at 1030. It's an ice cream. place, right? I thought it would be kind of, not dead, but just winding down. Sure, yeah. Freaking stack to the walls. Sure. Yeah, you know what? An ice cream place on a Friday night, everybody's going after dinner, going after seeing a movie. Yeah. Like, hang out probably a lot of kids there too. Like, you know, the high school kids. Well, I guess high school's out right now, but, you know.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Yeah, but they had groups like little sports groups and some kids with, by the way, apparently frosted tips are back. Oh, really? So just like the villains in the 80s movie. I don't know what's going on there, but I part of this story actually has to do with one. But we're there and we're having a great time. Everybody's there. We're laughing. We're talking. What a great movie. We loved it.
Starting point is 00:13:43 My favorite of the live actions without a question. Yeah. It's just fantastic. And we loved every second and we're talking about it and talking about it. And then throughout the night, including during the movie, I was getting like a little burpee. I was like, oh, what's going on down here? I got a little, whirr. I'm like, oh, well, whatever.
Starting point is 00:14:02 So I go ahead and eat a hot dog and some popcorn anyway, like a dumb ass. Because that'll help. Yeah, that'll definitely help. Yeah, the doctor always says you want to settle your stomach. Load it up with nitrates and popcorn and butter. Anyway, so I'm doing that. But I'm feeling okay. It's just kind of like burp, you know, not a big deal.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Kim seems it over during the movie. And she goes, you feeling okay? I said, yeah. she goes, I can't stop burping. I'm like, oh, no, not you. Oh, she said the same thing. Yeah, so she's, and she's not, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. She, you guys talked during the movie?
Starting point is 00:14:32 It was like, it was like, one of me. It's just like, I know, I know, I know. All right. Well, now you just made me feel better, then. Got up going to Salt Lake City to see this. He saved yourself some real pain. That's right. Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:14:46 These people over here. Yep. She goes, she goes, I'm going to go to the bathroom. Can you just kind of tell me what I miss if I, and I said, sure. So she gets up and leaves. And there's some quiet point of the movie, which isn't, which aren't many. But yeah, it's a pretty action-packed film. But anyway, so she leaves.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Yeah. And I'm just kind of blowing it off, no big deal. We go to ice cream. Her and I share like this Sunday thing, not a huge one. They have these nightmare ones that are like challenges to eat. Sure, right, yeah. We just have your name on the wall if you finish off one of those. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Yeah, we just did this normal one. And while we're there, we're like, oh, just grumbly and not great. And I'm like, what's going on? And we still eat the ice cream like dumb shits. like dumbasses. And I eat half of it. The secret to making your stomach feel better is always more food. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:32 And I'm having, I mean, we're having such a good time. I'm like, I'm not going to let whatever's going on here ruin my night. So we're there right up until midnight. And then everyone's like, ah,
Starting point is 00:15:39 we better leave. And we're like, okay, cool. We get about halfway home and I'm like, oh, my gut says, you better get your ass home because you're going to be,
Starting point is 00:15:49 you're going to have a problem. So I get, we get home. long story short we are up all night with the rumbly guts and my first thought is like
Starting point is 00:16:01 oh no what happened we get some lettuce wreck in the bathroom yeah yeah it's just her and I so anyway we traced it back we figured out what it was we have this friend this neighbor friend
Starting point is 00:16:11 who made this pasta dish for us and I'm not sure what the offending ingredient was but it had some chicken chicken cubes in it some kind of mozzarella cheese stuff, these noodles, and then I don't know what all. It seemed fine when we ate it, but we're the only two that ate it. Okay. And we ate it about two hours before the movie. So it all tracks that
Starting point is 00:16:33 that was something in there was bad. And so we've, her and I have spent the last two days just trying to recover from freaking noodle game. Wow. Oh God. Yeah. So lots of fun. What's great is the movie happened in such a way that it didn't get, nothing got ruined. The movie did not get ruined for me at all by this. And even then hanging out with everybody after. But like clockwork, halfway home on the freeway, it was like, you're going to spend the next day and a
Starting point is 00:17:00 half on the shitter. That's how this is going to go. So anyway, I wonder if it was just something that was like really rich. I mean, it may not have been something bad, you know, or spoiled or something like that. It just might have been, you know. I mean, it seemed pretty, not bland, but like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Pretty standard pasta thing, right? Like stuff you've had a million times. Yeah, and the only thing I can think of is maybe that chicken had, it's like a pre-cooked chicken cubed up. Yeah, yeah. It's just all the time, yeah. Possible those were older or maybe, I don't know. Honestly, it's hard for me to figure out. But it definitely like, when I was all burp, all burping up that pasta.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Like, it was just like, oh, phase two. It was definitely that, yeah. So it was not real fun and we hated it. And the good part is the movie was fantastic. So there's that. So good. It was so good, dude. And I'm and I'm with KT Davies said
Starting point is 00:17:52 Fantastic movie a little The Sting was a little meh Oh the Stinger sucked Yeah It was terrible I mean it's not that it Whatever we're staying after the credits No matter what they show us
Starting point is 00:18:03 And no matter what you're going to have different opinions about it But that was a nothing burger It was really a nothing burger And I know you know I know a couple theories of what it's probably Suggesting and I get that But Yeah they're
Starting point is 00:18:19 had to have been a better way to give those hints without just giving us a web screen that we can go to right now. We can go to spidey tracker.com or whatever it is. I know there's an actual website for it. Oh, for this app that Ned was making? Yeah, yeah, you can actually
Starting point is 00:18:35 there's a website for it and, oh, far worse than Shwarma. Oh, way worse. Shwarma was a great stinger because it was hilarious and it was so, it was wordless, except for just watching
Starting point is 00:18:51 the Avengers, you know, after they had just finished saving New York, just sitting there quietly like, uh, eating, yeah, eating Schwarma. I think it's one of my favorite stingers, actually. Yeah, I liked that one. I thought that was all right. Yeah. So what are you supposed to do here?
Starting point is 00:19:07 Let's see. If I click on the it says loading still, there you go. So like sound option, choose what you want. Welcome to the Spidey tracker. Ah, that's really, uh, but the talon, yeah. Yeah. Okay, so let's see. Rumered Sightalon, whatever is.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Oh, initially map. Okay, here we go. All right. I'm going to click on this African siting. We'll click the siding. Except that's South America, but that's fine. Oh, yeah, that's not I meant. All right, let's see.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Oh, this is actually, you can submit photos of places you've seen. Oh, really? I guess. Oh, that's hilarious. Yeah, certainly. Except why is that guy like in a Venetian gondola? I don't know. go check it out.
Starting point is 00:19:52 All right. He's just saying random shit. Let's see. Let's see. Go to Utah and see what you, uh, zoom out to Utah and, uh, some kind of Google map. Oh,
Starting point is 00:20:00 I guess you were there. You were in Utah. Yeah, I went to whatever that was. Let's see. Can I see? Can you place a? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:08 So what you're doing is, you're turning on and off rumored sightings. Oh, share your spidey sightings on X. Okay. So I wonder if you do that. It plops. Oh, they probably tag them or something.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Probably tag them and then it does it does. it. Let's see what this one is. That's just some cosplayers. That's a pretty good costume. Yeah, it's not bad actually. Man, the costume, Tom Holland's in these days, is a very traditional Spider-Man right now. It really is. And I like how you can kind of see his eyes a little bit through the through the lenses a couple times.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Yeah. It's pretty cool. That movie's good. I think it rests on the fact that it knows how to be a great movie, whether it's superheroes or not. And then did the superhero thing. on top of it. Totally. And that's the key. That's how you make the good ones.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Absolutely. It was really good. I'd never even heard of that director. And now I want to know. I know. Yeah, he was really good. He really knew he understood the assignment and did a great job. I'll still, you know, even if you're listening to rumors and scuttle button, things like that,
Starting point is 00:21:08 I feel like there's still a lot of great surprises in there. And I'm, oh, it was the same guy who did Shang-chi. Okay, cool. Oh, well, okay. There's cred there. Yeah. Use him more. I think he's got the touch.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Absolutely. Yep. Yeah, we were, um, always sitting around talking about our favorites. Oh, that's what it was. Hooty freaked everybody out because Hootie goes,
Starting point is 00:21:32 um, we were ice cream and he goes, um, oh, I love them all. Or here are my favorites, but man, some of those movies like,
Starting point is 00:21:39 Shang Chi, that's terrible. I didn't need to make that. What? And the entire table. What? Did what I just did? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Yeah, we all ganged up on him because we were like, that is the wrongest thing. I've ever heard. We can't wait to see him. Say what you want about Thor Dark World, but Sean Chi, Sean Chi was excellent. Yeah. And I'll, I'll say this too. A bright spot in the, in the current phase. I agree with you. I'll say this too about this new movie. This is not Tom Holland phoning anything in. This is like, I think some of his best acting. And I think he's a, I think he's a really good actor. Like there's this movie The Devil all the time that's got him, Patinson,
Starting point is 00:22:20 the Winter Soldier guy. I can't think of his name all of a sudden. Sebastian Stan. A bunch of other people, this Southern noir Gothic thing, set around the turn of the century. It's very good. A lot of people missed it.
Starting point is 00:22:30 It came out in 2020 and it's really, really, I may have recommended it. I'm not sure on the show. But anyway, he's clearly got like chops. He's always had him. He's a good actor, that kid. He's not a kid anymore.
Starting point is 00:22:41 He's 30. But he's really good in this. Not just good at being Spider-Man. No, no. There's depth of character here. It's really good. a lot of emotions he has to convey a lot of different
Starting point is 00:22:53 emotions he has to convey and he's really really good at it. Yeah, it was, yeah, he's yeah, I mean, it does feel like right now we're in a stage where we've got 10 actors, everybody loves and we're going to put them in everything. It's like, oh,
Starting point is 00:23:10 Zendaya, Patenson, let's put them in the Odyssey. Let's also put them in that, the drama and we'll have them in this and oh, they're hurry into the Dune, but Dune 3 and, you know. Yeah, no, there's a, we have a, there's a rat pack, brat pack going on a little bit.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Kind of is, yeah. And they're all about 28 to 30. Yep. And they're all in every movie made now. That's just the rule. Yeah. So if you want to, if you want less Zendaya in your life, I got bad news for you.
Starting point is 00:23:39 She can be around for a long time. She's going to be around for a long time. Yeah. And she's really good. Oh, man. She gutted me, though, in this movie. Yeah. No, you too.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Oh, my. Gosh. Carter was crying. Don't tell her I told you. No, there was a couple points that got me. I'll be honest. And Tina, for sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:59 No, we were both like... Also, I think that... It doesn't spoil anything. Oh, no. You know how the trailer... The trailer has some ninjas in it. I'll just say that. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I wasn't sure how that was going to go, because I usually think that comes off as a little corn dog. Like, not... Yes. Like, it's something like Shangchi.
Starting point is 00:24:16 It works for me, but something like this. I don't know. I just didn't expect it. great in the Netflix Daredevil and Electra season. Yes. Yeah. People either know what we're talking about
Starting point is 00:24:28 or we're not spoiling anything, so this is good. That scene in the tall room, whatever that was? Yes. Unfreaking believable, man. Yeah. Oh yeah, for sure. No, and the just the ties to
Starting point is 00:24:44 the insomniac game movements and and kind of bits from that. That really surprised me. There was, you know, the other thing. The comic covers, again, not a spoiler to say, you're going to get some fan service in this thing,
Starting point is 00:25:01 but I loved all that. No, none of it felt forcey or weird. No. Or no, or out of place. Exactly. Like it fit, it was thematically perfect. Yeah, and if you didn't know better, it would just be a cool scene, right? You'd be like...
Starting point is 00:25:14 Exactly. So they didn't waste screen space with fan service, I thought. I thought they did a really good job at that. stuff was also worried about a certain transition mm-hmm I thought that that would be dumb the way they would play that up and instead they see it in the trailer and you're thinking oh is this what what what's gonna happen here yeah I thought that was handled really well it's just great you guys really really good so go see it yep cool it's also weird scene that dude that plays scorpion who's
Starting point is 00:25:44 in better call saw mando yeah that's just weird to see him and stuff when it isn't better call salt It really is. I know. It just throws me because I'm just like, shouldn't you be kind of trying to kill your uncle or I don't know. Buy some meth or run the Mexican cartel for everybody in the States or whatever you're trying to do. He's so good too. He's got presents that guys. He really does.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Anyway, go see it. I'm sure most of you have because you're afraid of him and you want to hang out with them at the same time. It's really a tough thing to do. For the first time in many months for me, that was the fullest theater I've been in like, When it emptied, people are in line to pee. Like, I haven't had a movie experience like that about, I don't know, since pre-pandemic for me, like that big.
Starting point is 00:26:29 So I think Spider-Man made a bunch of money, almost a billion dollars or something by now. Yeah, big weekend. Huge, huge weekend. Second largest opening of all time now, right behind, just behind Endgame. And it's got rewatchability. I mean, I'm tempted.
Starting point is 00:26:44 And probably, I don't know if I'd be so tempted if I was paying for my tickets, like paying per ticket. but I'm tempted to some afternoon this week just go again if I can find a little solo seat. That'd be great. Because you're going to catch stuff, right? You didn't see the first time? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:27:00 I love doing that too sometimes. I haven't done that a long time. Maybe there's another stinger that I'll show it'll be better. One of the chat. One of the chat can guess which movie I last did that with? Oh. What do you think the last movie I saw twice in the theater? You saw twice in the theater?
Starting point is 00:27:17 I actually saw it three times in the theater. Yeah, I think we know. Did they have the chromy, a shiny and chrome version in the theaters? No, that was a blue ray thing. Although I think they did showing sense like special. I think they did. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:30 I would love to go to one. Yeah. If they ever did one again, I would go. But I don't think anything here open with that. Yeah. No. Furios I saw twice in the theater. Mad Max Fury Road I saw three times in the theater.
Starting point is 00:27:42 And then if you add that to how many times I've seen them since and my plan to watch it again soon, it gets really disgusting. Mm-hmm. All right. Guys. Oh, Brian is not in today. That's why we're going a little long with the top of the show. Oh, we are.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Okay. Very last minute. I'll tell you what he told me. Okay. He says, hey, in the last 15 minutes, we had somebody quit in our department and a server go down. Oh, she. I will not be able to make it on TMS. Sorry, guys.
Starting point is 00:28:08 This sucks. So he is busy putting out of fire. Okay. And as a result, we're already at 930. Anyway, we're just going to pull in Bobby. We're just going to ride into Bobby. Okay. Sounds good.
Starting point is 00:28:19 save the trivia for next time. Yep. We can, you could even do it on, I guess we could, I don't know. We could do it on Wednesday instead of feud. Yeah, whatever you're into. If it's easier to just copy and paste into that. Yeah, let's just do a Wednesday instead of feud. That sounds great.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Now this. Whoops, this. Science. Bob is hungry and the soup looks good. Well, that's talk to Bob about his soup and anything else scientifically driven from Bobby Frankenberger. Is it a hot soup? Yeah, hot soup.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Cold soup? Bobby, where do you land on the hot soup cold soup? What do you prefer? Vichyso? I have there. Cold soup has no business going into my mouth. Oh, I see. Even gazpacho? Have you had a really good gazpacho? No, clearly not. Yeah, you need a really good gazpacho.
Starting point is 00:29:06 There's some places that just say... Because if I'd had a good gazpacho, I would have thought it was good, Brian. Fair enough. Fair enough. That's a good point. So wait a minute. I don't know if this makes me weird or not. Maybe it does, but when Kim makes jumbalaya, which currently we have a pretty fresh batch in the fridge to go back to today. I will sometimes, because she does a version of it that's just veggies and no meats or
Starting point is 00:29:29 seafood or anything. And I will sometimes eat that cold because it's really good cold. It's like a gazpacho, but kind of a Cajun gazpacho, if that's such a thing. And I'll sometimes use it to like, I'll dip like chips or like pita bread in it when it's cold. It's really good that way. I'm not sure that counts, but it's, it is a thing I'll. do. So Bob, you need try that. I mean, when jambla is hot, it doesn't really qualify as a soup. It's more of a stew, right?
Starting point is 00:29:58 That's true, although the way she makes it. Does she do rice with it, probably? She does rice separately. So, because, uh, yeah, but you put it over the rice. Yeah. I just don't eat rice. So for me, it's much more soupy than for everyone else. But if you just got, because she keeps it separate in the fridge. So if you've got, you know, a big, the big thing, the stuff is pretty liquidy and using it as salsa may sound strange but it's really good I have to admit that like the way I truly feel about it is that
Starting point is 00:30:28 I've just never had soups in general are just lower on my list of things that I not that you don't go for the soup anyway right yeah yeah and but I firmly believe that that I like pretty much anything
Starting point is 00:30:44 as long as it's cooked well right and so I haven't I haven't met a type of food or a category of food that I refuse to eat. It's just there are some that I are harder to cook it in a way that I will enjoy it. Would you call a bowl of cereal a breakfast soup? Yeah, I feel like it is. I do too. I've always kind of had that vibe.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Yeah. I don't know. Don't you have to, does soup have to be cooked? That's the question. I know it can be cold, but does it have to be cooked? I don't know. You know what, now that you say that, is cooking, because even gazpacho gets cooked and reduced, and then you serve it cold. But maybe what it is is that cereal is a breakfast soup, but it's not a stew.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Oh, interesting. Okay. Because stew implies a haying. I feel like stew, you definitely have to cook. All right. Yeah, yeah. You can't have a cold stew. I mean, you can eat, right. Stu that's been cooked, you can eat a cold and charmedly as the example of that. Right, right. Am I right about gazpacho? they have to, you have to cook it first, right? It has to be cooked and then you know. No. No? I've made gazpacho where you cook the garlic into the broth, but I've also made gazpacho where you start with a beef broth and you don't cook it at all. Oh, interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Okay. The other thing is I pretty much will eat, like to me the best food is food that someone made for me. That is the best food, yes. Free is also my favorite kind of food. Yeah, right. But even if it's not free. Like, like, and I would modify that and say, not just that someone made for me, but but the best food is actually even the food that I didn't have to decide what it was going to be. I love it if people just give me something to try and eat and because I just like trying lots of different things. A chef's table kind of dinner is one of my favorite experiences. So, that's all to say, Brian, if you made gazpacho, I would definitely try it. Yeah, cool. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Would you try my wife's cold jambalaya, though? Would you do that? Yeah, why? Sure. All right, all right. We're doing it. Next time we're all together. Get out the cold bowls.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Bobby's going in. Next time we're all together, everyone's just going to make me cold soups. Yeah. I love it. Probably Hammond will bring you something real disgusting, I guess. Oh, gosh, yeah. That's what he does. Fried chicken candy or fried chicken soda.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Oh, gosh. Dang it, man. That guy really wanted us to die that day. All right. Hey, Bobby, it's time for some science. We've been kind of bereft of science. It's not even the right word. We've been scienceless. Yeah, that's how bad it is. I use the wrong word for it. Science has been under attack recently. Let's get it out of the crossfire. Yeah, can we do that? What did you bring today to discuss? Bereft is the right word, by the way. You use the right word. Thank you. I just wanted to give you. I thought that was more like, oh, she's bereft because her husband died or something like that.
Starting point is 00:33:44 No, that's bereaved. Oh, bereaved. All right. Bereft means you're lacking something, so yes. You're lacking your husband. But you know what... I mean, you know, in a kind of a way, that's true. That's true. That's dark and true.
Starting point is 00:34:01 But you know what NASA's bereft of is a good repair rocket, a good thing to repair their satellites. So there's a swift... There's a SWIFT, there's a satellite up there called SWIFT that is, it's used as, it's the SWIFT observatory. It's a, it's a satellite that's in orbit, and it observes and studies gamma ray bursts and black holes and supernovae. And it's called SWIFT, I think, it could be an acronym, but I know part of the thing that I think about is one of the things it does really, really well is that it can swiftly point to what it is that, um, astronomers need to point it at to studies. So gamma ray bursts are pretty short-lived.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Supernovae are not terribly long-lived, but when they detect one, they can point this at it really quickly. The problem is this thing was launched 22 years ago. It was only supposed to last for two years. This happens a lot, doesn't it? Like with the rovers and stuff? Yeah, well, when you're planning stuff to go into space and use as a scientific instrument,
Starting point is 00:35:10 you really only plan for it to last a short time because, you know, because it's a lot better for it to be, you to be happily surprised that it lasted a lot longer. It's expensive to send things up there. Right. But this one's lasted 22 years and it's still going, but there's a problem. It doesn't have any propulsion of its own. It was launched and put into orbit. And what that means is in order to maintain an orbit, you have to have propulsion because things in orbit around the earth. Yeah, the orbit slowly decay and get lower and lower. A lot of that is because the atmosphere is a lot thicker than we think about it being.
Starting point is 00:35:54 It's just, while it may be really, really thin, it still exists up there. And so it will cause very minuscule, almost undetectable amounts of drag, but it does cause that to happen. They were hoping it would last a little bit longer in orbit than it has right now, but there's been a lot of solar activity recently, which has caused it to decay in its orbit. Okay. And so, NASA is thinking, this satellite is really useful to us.
Starting point is 00:36:27 This solar, or this observatory that's up there is really useful to us. We've gotten a lot of really good science out of it. Could we like get it back up to its, to the height of orbit that it needs to be in? And they commissioned, or not commissioned, but they got a couple of proposals from private companies to see if anybody would be able to come up with an idea to get up there and rescue this swift satellite. And a company did. And their whole plan was they were going to send a robot up into space to grab onto it and tow it back up into its high orbit. And the problem is that this robot that they sent up also has failed. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:37:17 And so it's also orbiting and getting closer to the Earth as well. Well, it's a pretty dramatic failure that happened. So the company that went up there is, or that is sending something up there is called Catalyst Space Technologies. There's small startup from Flagstaff, Arizona. They're very new. This is the first thing that they've ever done, actually. but the contract that they were given by NASA was a $30 million contract and they gave them under a year to design, build, test,
Starting point is 00:37:48 and launch this rescue mission for Swift. The satellite they're rescuing. Normally, it takes years to do something like this, right? But this is going to be a robot that they're trying to send up there. The other problem with the challenge with the Swift satellite is that it wasn't designed for this to happen. and it wasn't designed to ever be repaired or anything. It was only supposed to last two years, right?
Starting point is 00:38:12 So there's no like... Disposable kind of. Yeah, yeah. There's no docking mechanisms or anything like that. So they had to design a, when I say a robot, I mean, like many spacecraft will go up and it's designed to dock with other spacecraft. Sure. This is not. It's really kind of a robot.
Starting point is 00:38:30 They got, they got schematics of the Swift satellite, and they said, we're going to design something that can, that can grab, like robotically with robotic hands, grab onto this thing and pull it up into a higher orbit. So they launched it, but the problem is that it started to spin out of control. This spacecraft that they sent up is called Link. And whenever you send something into orbit, it will oftentimes lose connection with ground bases. That's normal thing.
Starting point is 00:39:06 And so somehow on one of the times that it went out of contact with the ground, when it came back into contact, two of the three reaction wheels, basically was spinning out of control when it came into contact. It was propelling like only had one, like a left foot was the only thing that was working. So it was just walking in circles in space, basically, written in the atmosphere. Exactly. So these craft are equipped with what are called reaction wheels. And you can just think of them as like heavy rings of stuff. that spin around in order to create, like, you know, imagine if you have a ring and it's got a heavy weight on one part of the ring, if it spins, it's going to create like a wobble, right? Sure, sure.
Starting point is 00:39:50 So that's what these reaction wheels do is they create an intentional wobble in order to direct without using thrusters to turn the, to turn the space. It's supposed to be more accurate or efficient, or what's the... It's more efficient. It uses magnets. Okay. So it uses electricity. They have to have batteries on it, but it doesn't use thrusters. Thrusters are a little bit more complicated because it's not just going to turn you, but it's also going to move you. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:16 And it does have cold gas thrusters on there too, and some of its cold gas thrusters started acting up as well. But two of the three reaction wheels, you have three reaction wheels, one for each axis that you want to turn it on. And two of the three aren't working. and some of the like I said cold gas thrusters aren't working and so this thing's spinning out of control and when it's facing away from the earth at a certain point it loses connection so like it's got sporadic connection with the earth so everyone's down on the ground right now trying to figure out how to rescue this satellite because there is no opportunity the the swift satellite that they're trying to rescue is by the end of this year has a 90% chance of just coming down so they don't have very long.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Yeah, no chilling. There's no more time to build another one of these and send it back up. So they're down here trying to figure out how can we fix this thing, get it lined back up and they think they can do it because it does have some, this is so Star Trek sounding. It also has three xenon electric plasma thrusters on it. Oh, my gosh. Who's going to tell the captain they've all failed? My gosh, that sounds hardcore. Well, the xenon plasma thrusters are working,
Starting point is 00:41:38 and they're just not really intended to be used to orient the spacecraft, but it can because they're on each of the three thrusters are on gimbals, so they can move them, and they can use it to stop the spin. But the thing is... It's the most Jordy Laforge Act 3 of the next generation thing, right? Like, well, it's going to crash into the planet. Wait, if we orient the xenon plasma thrusters to point directly at the planet,
Starting point is 00:42:08 we might be able to get it to ricochet around the... Yeah, but the problem is, this is such a dramatic story, you're right. Yeah, yeah. The problem is that these xenon thrusters are... they're designed to raise the orbit of the, like they were going to use them when they attached it. After this thing grabs Swift, this was what was going to put them in the next. Yeah, and the reason that that's important, because you might be thinking, well, okay, they're just thrusters, right? They can be used.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Well, first of all, they take fuel, so you're worried about that. Second, though, and the bigger problem is that the impulse on these thrusters is really low. And what that means is that they're, or I'm sorry, the impulse is high, but the thrust. itself is low. And what that means without going into the math of it is basically just it doesn't have a lot of oomph, but in a short period of time, but over time, they're very efficient. So it pushes really slowly. And that's great if all you're trying to do is raise the orbit. Yeah, once you've got the thing just to get up to another orbit, but they still need to get to the swift. They still need to get it. Yeah, they still need to rendezvous with it. And,
Starting point is 00:43:21 more importantly right now, they need to stop it from spinning out of control. Because it's still spinning, sure. So what's the danger if it's, is it going to run into other satellites? Like, smash into the- No, it just can't do its job. Just can't do what it needs to do. Just $30 million flailing around in the sky. Yeah, but more than that, the Swift satellite. Like, again, they've got a few months to figure this out, right?
Starting point is 00:43:44 Oh, before that thing's toast. I mean, look at this. One of the things that showed people were these gamma rays that we're getting. there's a shot of it, like, detected by the thing. I always thought Gamma Rays are green because I watched the Hulk as a kid, but whatever. Like, it seems like they're getting really incredible data out of this thing, so I get why they don't want to lose this thing.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Well, that's why they want to keep it. And it's a lot cheaper. 30 million sounds like a lot, but it's a lot cheaper to spend $30 million on this rescue mission than it would have been to build, design and build and launch a whole new satellite to do the same sort of science. No doubt, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:20 Yeah. And so they're using the plasma thrusters right now. As we speak, they're using them to try to slow the spin. They've gotten the spin was at like nine degrees. It was spinning like nine degrees per second out of control. They've slowed that down to four degrees per second. So they're getting it done. And they're really hoping and optimistic that if they can stop the spin,
Starting point is 00:44:47 they can use these plasma thrusters to get. it back into a rendezvous trajectory with the Swift, then they can grab onto it and move it back up. Because they have a lot of altitude that they have to gain with this thing. It was its original orbit, its operating orbit that they wanted it to be in was 600 kilometers. That's like 370 something miles over the Earth, 600 kilometers. And right now it has come down to about 350 kilometers. So they've got a lot of altitude they need to raise it to get it back up to the orbit they want it to be in. Is that called the, what's the, like when you've, you've, you've leveled out the gravity so it won't ever get any closer, but it won't go any further.
Starting point is 00:45:37 The vertical, not vertical limit, the, the, the, the, phantasmus. Apogy and perigy. That's it, that's it. Yeah, is that what it's called? Yeah, okay. where basically it refers to the highest point in an orbit and paragy refers to the lowest point in an orbit gotcha. Apagy software games or whatever they were called.
Starting point is 00:45:56 That's why they named themselves that. I thought I was a fake made up word. Nope. Apagy is the highest point in orbit. I think Lagrange point is the phrase I was thinking. Yeah, so a Lagrange point, a Lagrange point. Invented by Zizi Top by the way, which was great. But it was only Frank Beard, right, the drummer, one without a beard. Yes.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Yeah. Before they started playing music. they were orbital engineers. You imagine? I mean, they were in Texas. They're right by as the Johnson Space Center. It's all fine. But no, a Lagrange point is, yeah, it's a stable,
Starting point is 00:46:29 it's a specific spot in place between two gravitational bodies, where the force between them is equaled out in such a way that it won't move. Anything in that point in space doesn't move. It stays in there. Like the spaceship in 2010, the year we make contact or whatever it was, yeah. Yeah. Right, right, right. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:46:51 So, yeah, they're hoping to be able to get it done by putting it into orbit. They want it to be in orbit because they can transmit data differently. It can be around different points and everything. And so they can point it at things. And it's just... So if this fails, now we've got two things that are going to come crashing down to Earth at some point. Yeah, but things, quite honestly, things crash down to Earth all the time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:18 It's usually the ocean, but yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So you also said another word. I learned something new today. Yeah. You called the soup. So I know what a supernova is, but you called them supernovae.
Starting point is 00:47:32 Is that the plural for? Supernovae. Or novi, sorry. Supernovae is plural for like. Yeah, but all you do, yes, that's correct. It's plural for supernovae. Yeah, it is a better novi. Yeah, it's a better.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Novi. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But all you do is add an E to the end of Supernova, so it's an A-E at the end. All right, I like that. I always thought that was Novi is how you'd say it. But what do I know? I think it might be one of those words that has like multiple acceptable pronunciations, if I'm being honest. Well, I just like to say supernovae because I think it sounds cool.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Yeah, it's fun. Yeah. Like a supernovae in the sky. Or it's like, you know, that star looks a little supernovae to me. Yeah. I don't think I trust it. Yeah. A little too supernovae.
Starting point is 00:48:18 A little two supernovae. Well, this is interesting. And we're going to know if efforts to rectify all of this happens when. Like you say we've only got a few months, you said? By the end of the year, we'll know for sure, probably within a month or two. Maybe by the next, I mean, I might be talking about this again the next time I'm on the show. All right. Well, if it misses, could we use that same robot to, I don't know, get a convertible out of
Starting point is 00:48:44 orbit and just set it off into the sun. Yeah, that'd be all right? He was exting, whatever that's called. Sure. About that recently. Teserate Dynamite says all the gold on Earth was made from supernovae or from supernovas. Is that true? Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Well, yeah, at the beginning, most of what is in the universe is made, was made out of hydrogen and helium, and stars took that hydrogen and helium. and fused it into all the heavier elements that are in the galaxy. I mean, I guess we're all made of the stuff of the universe, so it's not that unusual of the concept, but I didn't realize there was like a direct tie to another thing we have a name for. Yeah. That's the whole point of when you hear people say that we're all, you know,
Starting point is 00:49:32 made out of stardust. It's quite literal. Yeah, it's true, right? But like, so if you wanted to get rich on gold, here's what you do. You find out where all the supernovae are. where they're all hanging out. Yeah. And then it's just gold for days, man.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Yeah. Set up a basket. That's why I do that all the time in no man's sky. I'm like, all right. Where's the supernovae? I need more. Where's the supernovae? I need more.
Starting point is 00:49:57 And sodium. Park your big ship outside of it. That's right. You got to make sure you have that stellar collector upgrade. But only you should know about it because if you don't know about it or if you, if everyone knows about the gold, then gold's not valuable anymore. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:50:10 The whole idea is that it's rare, right? So. Did you ever play that? game and do the spend um like 30 minutes to an hour just like cycling through all like five five six different star systems and selling one system after another oh hell yeah no I know I probably should I did all that's the quick way to make that's the cheat way to make money yeah I'm in max like crazy earn money early on in that game um and then I played a run that was creative like you just do whatever you want nothing cost nothing just so I could learn some of the new systems that were coming out oh that's smart yeah yeah the only
Starting point is 00:50:42 problem of that is you get lazy so the next time you play a real run you're like ah shit this is too hard my car ship's going to cost a lot of money if I want to put those upgrades on it anyway I'm due for another astronaut run too damn it damn it
Starting point is 00:50:59 they got a new game coming out they do and and DLC for Astroneer too like there's a couple things coming from system era software they're making a new game and DLCing the old one yeah dude yeah let me see I can tell you what it's called.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Star Seeker. Oh, that's the add-on to... That's the Astro-E Expeditions thing, right? And then the other game... What's the other one? Or is that? Oh. Stop talking about these games.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Maybe they combined them. I don't know what they did. Oh, maybe. They may have combined the names, and the new game is the Star Seeker, but it's like an Astroneer. It's in the universe to help them, you know... That's their multiplayer thing,
Starting point is 00:51:41 you know, the Star Seeker deal. which I don't care. I don't want to play. I don't want to play Astridor with other people. Yeah, I just want to play by myself. I mean, it'll let you play it by yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how I'm doing it. We don't even play multiplayer anymore.
Starting point is 00:51:53 I know. Who are they? What's that for? Speaking of which, we have a new instance coming out on the, what's the year of the day? We like, we like MMOs. Speaking of MMOs. Yeah, speaking of MMOs. Honestly, I play a lot of solo in an MMO, so it's not that different.
Starting point is 00:52:08 But yeah, we've got some stuff coming up. Watch for a teaser coming soon as we get close to. the big patch coming in August. So what was that the 14th? If you missed the instance, we got you. Yeah, miss it no longer. Bobby, always good to have you here. Tell people about your science show so they can go get some more science in the meantime.
Starting point is 00:52:24 It's called All Around Science. Science is in the name to make it easier for you to know what it's about. It's a good idea, by the way. I like that. Yeah, you should do that. It's me and my co-host, Mora, talking about science news that we're interested in. this episode that just came out today, it's about dolphins and orcas,
Starting point is 00:52:46 different things that we learned about them. Here's the reason you want to listen to it. Apparently, there are some orcas that have been found turning big giant sunfish into pinatas, literally charging under them and causing them to explode. Oh, God, really? What the heck?
Starting point is 00:53:04 This is not an exaggeration either. What I just said to you is exactly what's happening. That's dark. And do they eat the candy that comes out of them. Yes, they do. Yeah, that's the whole. Well, you can't know exactly what the purpose is, of course,
Starting point is 00:53:17 but it seems to be that's what they're doing. Yeah, what is the purpose of all of this? Fantastic stuff, as always, Bobby. Nothing but pleasure having you on. Thanks for hanging out with us. And between now and next time we speak, may all the science come your way or something. Bye now.
Starting point is 00:53:33 All right. Nicely done. Excellent. We're going to play, we're going to play an email. We're going to read an email. This is about the jugs of paint. Playing emails. This one's from B.C. Clark. No, sorry, B. Clark. Or maybe it's B.C. Lark. I don't know. The way it's written is it's all together, so I don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Sure. He says this. Hello, Scott and Brian. Not sure if this is worthy of reading on the show, but feel free to do so if you want. I recently upgraded to five gigabit symmetric fiber. You've mentioned previously about complex methods to watch media. If I wanted to share my complex methods with you, what are your complex usernames? I search for the users frog pants in Coverville, which do seem to exist, but wasn't sure if those were the real deal.
Starting point is 00:54:16 I think those are the real deal Those I think are the real deal I'm double checking because I might also be using Bibbit B-I-B-B-B-O-T-T because maybe I have problems with Nope, I'm using Coverville. Good.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Let me double check for them too because I think it is Frog Pants. I think it's steam that I have both a Coverville and a Bibbitt account and I need to just combine them. There it is. Frog Pants for me. So yours is Bibbitt?
Starting point is 00:54:42 No, mine's Coverville. Here's is Coverville. Okay. Mine is Coverville and Bitton. Keep saying Bibbitt. Coverville and Frog Pants. Those are right. So I would say do the most complex thing you can think of by adding those username and we'll accept them. Yeah, absolutely. C.C. wrote in and says, well, actually, Mrs. Fields, this is a claim I made the other day. Mrs. Fields of Cookie Fame, origin story is not a Utah thing. She began her business in my hometown of Palo Alto, California. True. You're absolutely right. I had it wrong. I thought she started here.
Starting point is 00:55:14 but here's where that got confusing and why I thought that. Mrs. Fields, aka Debbie Fields, does not currently live in Utah, but she previously lived here, notably at Park City or near Park City, where she and her former husband built a large ranch and established the company's headquarters in the early 80s. So Mrs. Fields, like, proper, was headquartered in essentially Park City. It was a little outside of it. All throughout the 80s. She then sold the Utah property in 2011.
Starting point is 00:55:42 She remarried somebody in 97. She lived in Memphis, Tennessee for 16 years, then later moved to Nashville. The Mrs. Fields corporate headquarters also moved away from Utah to Denver, Colorado in 2012. Wow. So when they sold the property and bailed, they moved right over to you guys that next year. Excellent. Well, I'll have to go out today and go get myself a crumble cookie just to stick it to Mrs. Fields. Man.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Those chocolate ones sound so good right now. They're so damn good. I know. Yeah. I can't do it. Can't bring myself to do it. I still kind of have tender guts after the freaking bullshit.
Starting point is 00:56:21 Take advantage of those tender guts as a good weight loss experience. Oh, for sure. And they were, you know, for those wondering about the record, it still holds, nobody barfed. It was just a lower intestinal business. A metaphobia is still intact. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:37 Still hanging on for dear life. Let's see. Is that it? I think that's it. That's it for our show today. Thank you for listening, everybody. Frogpants.com slash TMS. You'll find everything you need right there.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Today, the Monday show will happen at 1 p.m. And you can find more on the schedule at frogpants.com slash schedule. Big thanks for all the suggestions coming in on what to do with the 24-hour stream of repeats. I'm working on some stuff there. I had a run for 24 hours yesterday without a hitch. That seemed to kind of prove out the tech. So now I just got to decide what the content looks like. So I will keep you all informed as to what I end up doing.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Brian, let's get out of here. Do you have a song maybe today or something? Oh, my gosh. Of course I do. Thank goodness. Eric Austin Lee wrote in and said, Dear Cover Master Brian, my wife and I have seen the Indigo Girls 20 times
Starting point is 00:57:26 over the last 25 years before and after we were married. This year we celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary in May. I would be delighted if you would find a non-metal, L.O.L. cover of an Indigo Girl song that isn't closer to find. Yeah, it seems to be the one everybody covers. Preferably the Wood Song. if you could find one, but if you could not find, no, he says, preferably the Wood song, if you could find one, there we go.

Starting point is 00:59:55 My friends and I have had a tough time losing our brains. Heart up against change. All the old dogs and the magician. Now I see we're in the boat in two by twos. Only the heart that we have for two We could use And the very close quarters Are hard to get used to
