This is the morning stream for September 10th. 2000 and 26, not the day before any kind of weird negative day that we all get negative about, you know, and think horrible things about it. It's just a normal week. It's fine.

It's a day of remembrance. It's a day of honoring the, you know, the day that I was set to take a flight to New York City that morning. And I was on my way to the airport when they said, nope, not happening. Did we talk about this? Were you, you weren't on one of those planes, right? That wasn't one of yours. No. going to be on one of those planes. No, I was, I was actually on, like, before I even left to the airport,

the first plane hit the World Trade Center. And I'm like, wow, that's crazy. But they hadn't figured out at the time that I left, it interrupted the news, and they were acting like, they were assuming it was still an accident. And so I'm in the car and I'm listening to the radio and they announce the second plane hit. And then they're like, yeah, it's looking like it's not an accident. and I think they're going to go ahead and shut the airports down. And I was two-thirds of the way to Denver at a national airport and said, okay, looks like I'm turning around. So much better than being in the air and getting trapped up there because they made everybody's circle for hours and stuff.

Oh, God, that would have been horrible. Yeah, no, I decided, you know, it was decided for me. I was not going to go to Rochester. I was only, I was going to fly through New York. I wasn't going to fly into New York, but still, obviously, everything got grounded. Including the flight that one of my support people got stuck in Wisconsin. And so we were scrambling to get her a rental car so she could drive back to the office because we didn't know how long things were going to be tied up.

Yeah. And they were tied up for a while. They were tied up for a while, yeah. Yeah. That was a gnarly day. Anyway, look forward to that tomorrow, everyone. And all those Gen Zs out there can make their memes because they don't feel the way that they weren't there. They're like us with Pearl Harbor.

We think of Pearl Harbor and we just kind of go, yeah, Kamikazisies. and all this stuff. Anyway, moving on. But Ben Affleck sure is handsome. Yeah, exactly, right? We only know these movies and stuff. So we're, you know, if you're ever wondering why they seem so flippant or they make jokes about the second plane has hit their second bill or whatever. Like they're always goofing on that online. Just no, most of them weren't born. They were born after this.

They don't have that. They'll have their version of whatever that is. They're going to have the pandemic. They're going to have the kids, you know, the younger kids who were born after 2020. who are going to be that way about the pandemic, be like, oh, yeah, you got to stay home? Whoa, that must have been rough. Yeah, unless they have another one, Van's going to be a turd about the pandemic because he just, he was like a year old. He wasn't involved.

Yeah, he didn't, he didn't experience it. So that's going to be his thing, yeah. It's going to be interesting to see how that all pans out. All right, real quick here, I was going to tell you about. Tell me. Oh, so yesterday. Yeah, yesterday the Apple thing happened. Apple event. And I missed it, but I caught up later. Yeah. And the duo thing, unit deal,

is their foldable, you know, bigger phone deal. Finally, they're going to get into the foldables, basically. Finally, Apple invents the folding phone. Yeah, finally, we can pretend like no one else was making those. And, you know, Samsung didn't help iterate on it long enough to fix it, make things work right. And now suddenly it's a new thing we've never heard of before. It does probably signal a little more mainstream acceptance because it always does when Apple tends to get in there, whether we like it or not. I'll, okay, can we, we, we'll take price out of this discussion for a second. Take price out of discussion, yes.

It starts at 1999. And I don't mean, I don't mean like midnight TV going on and only 1999. No, there's, there are no decimal points in between any of those four numbers that we, just said. After all four of them. They come after. It's very expensive. More than double.

Like the pro, no, not more, less than double, just under double, because the pro max that we have, the 17 pro max is $1,200. Something like that.

Yeah. The high end one, yeah. So, and there's a lot of questions I have about, you know, when the carriers do the lease thing, like T-Mobile for us.

Yeah. How are they going to handle those and that sort of thing? I'm curious because that is going to be the only way. It really depends on, yep, all right, your subsidized price is going to be $180 extra dollars per month to do it, which is probably not unrealistic.

Dr. Cahoon has a point. I said, take the price out of the question, then proceeds to talk about the price. No, no. We didn't say we were going to leave it out. We said we're going to take it out and talk about it. Yeah, I'm going to say, if you take that out of it and just say, here's the new phone, and let's pretend all things are equal and it's the one you're going to get,

I really want one. Oh, you and me both. They're awesome. Yeah, I mean, this is like, can you imagine playing Marvel Snap on that thing? Oh, my God. Dude, there's all sorts of stuff. Like, it works with the Apple Pencil. So I would have a portable sketchbook with me everywhere I go.

Everywhere you went. Yep, exactly. There are just a bunch of little things like that that I just started, my brain started thinking of. And I was like, oh, yeah, this would be cool. I'll do that and this and that and the other thing. You've, you know, you've accidentally walked into corners of coffee tables or tables or something with a phone. in your pocket and dented the dang thing. This feels like it's got, even though it's still, you know, when it's folded,

it still has glass on one side. It still has a screen on one side on the outside, but it still feels like, oh, gosh, how do I, this is something I just got to like, you know, bubble wrap. Well, and it's wider, even folded, it's wider than a regular phone, obviously. Yeah. It's almost like iPad aspect ratio when it's closed. Yeah. And then you open it and it's.

If you rotate it, it's again, iPad ratio. Right. But large. Yeah. Not four by three, but what is it? It's like a whatever it is. Yeah, whatever it is. It's not four by three.

Maybe it is actually. I don't know what it is. One to one point four, yeah. Yeah, something like that. But they, they, they, I mean, it's thin as hell while it's open. When it's closed, it's not that much thicker than my phone is now. Yeah. And the only worry I would have is the wideness.

It's just like, is that in my pocket? Where am I putting this? I know, yeah. It's, it's, um, I'm trying to think, I guess maybe the thing to do is to take their specs and print a 3D print a faky so that I can put in my pocket and see what that's like, see what the, uh, uh, the width is like in my, in my pocket. Yeah, I need to, I kind of want to hold one. When they get to the store, I'll check them out. There is zero rush happening here because my, my rollover doesn't even happen until early next year because we were late doing it this year. Same.

Same. So, yeah. I'm on the two-year plan anyway, so it'll probably be the duo two that I finally see. Which, you know, I'm not going to have such major fomo for the next year as I see people walking around with these. But I'm all right. Maybe let them work a few of the kinks out. Yeah. And by the way, we know, and we've got someone in the chat talking about it, but we know Android people.

We know you've had one of these for a while. And we've had multiples of these. got little ones that open like an old school phone. I know you got some wide ones. Crazy neighbor has dropped at least four of them in his pool. At least that many. So we get it. And I'm not exaggerating when I say he's dropped at least four of them in his pool. Yeah. No, I'm, this is Dave we're talking about. So, you know. Yeah. Exactly. I believe everything you say about today. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Brian got busy last night. I did. I should probably clarify. He went and saw a movie. Yeah. Let's be clear because Tina's out of town.

So I definitely did not get busy last night. What did you go see, though? I saw a movie. I saw the brand new Korean monster movie called Hope. Oh, I'm curious about this. Yeah. This, so we'd been seeing the trailers for it, and it's by the guy who did Chaser and the whaling Nah.

What's his name? Nah. Let's see, I have it right here. Hangjin. Nah. Jim. There you go. This is not the, this isn't your, um, train to Busan guy, different. No, no.

But very, very much in that kind of Korean new wave style, new wave, new wave filming style. Um, I enjoyed the first two hours and 20 minutes of this movie. Oh my lord. This is a two hour and 40,

I left the theater, uh, two hours and 45, minutes before start time, but of course, you know, there's probably 15 minutes of trailers, so it's probably about two and a half hours, a film. It's, all right, let me go premise, and then I'll, and then I'll explain kind of where it lost me. It's a little Korean village on a harbor, Hope Harbor, or Hope Reservoir, and it's, all of a sudden, you know, they're waking up and they find a cow that's been, sliced up and like oh that's weird huh look the slices big old no tiger did that or bear whatever and then cop goes back in the town and he's

kind of seeing more destruction and then it kind of turns into about 30 minutes of going through town and seeing the destruction in the wake of this thing and trying to figure out what it is and then you see this this thing this this monster and it is one of the coolest, freakyest, heavy metal mascot looking giant gallum with dreadlocks looking things you'll ever see. I mean, the trailer, they don't show

a ton, but it's enough to have you go, eh, what are we looking at here? Exactly. Yeah. It is pretty freaky. And, uh, um, and they, they, you know, it chases them through the town and then they turn around, they start chasing it once they wound it.

And I don't want to give any spoilers, although it is, you know, big monstery looking. It's your big, it's your typical kind of monster. We've got them now and, oh no, now what? And there is more what to be, to be had. You know, once they take out, well, once the first one's problem is dealt with, you're only half an hour into the film, so you got to expect,

or 45 minutes or an hour into the film, so you got to expect there's more. Right. But really exciting. Once you get through that first half hour of, wow, what all this damage? What's it coming from? What could have caused all this? Oh my God. These people are all bloody and mangled.

And this guy just got thrown across an alley and into another car and blah, blah, blah. At the point that you see the monster, it is hold on to your seat because it is nonstop for the next two hours of chasing and running and shooting and screaming and all that sort of thing. It was like little bouts of dialogue in between, like. Little bouts of dialogue. It's a subtitled, obviously, South Korean film. Not a whole lot. You know, it doesn't have to be because of the action really carries so much of the story. But then how do I talk about this without giving anything away?

I'm going to assume you don't like how it ended. I don't like how it ended And I can't wait till other Tadpoolers see this so I can talk about that ending Because if there's one thing that makes an ending A bad ending Better, it's talking with other people also That seems to be

Even in the positive reviews I'm just kind of skimming them here A lot of them complained about the ending Or that it was too long Those are the two people Or it was too long Yeah, it could have been I don't know what I would take out

because I enjoyed every, well, I would take out the ending, but I enjoyed all of the, like, the nonstop action. I felt like this is, this is your, you know, your summer blockbuster kind of the thing you go see on the big screen because you want to see it on the big screen kind of thing. Right, right. But then when you start getting faces and subtitles from people who aren't the Korean characters.

Oh. So I see Michael Fastbender's in this. He's in the credits. Really? Yeah. Oh, holy crap. It is. Do you just figure out who he is?

Who the guy is in there? I just figured out who Michael Fastbender is in this thing. Yeah, he's in the credits as Mae, Ma Evo or yo or something. Uh-huh. And then there's one other. Oh, Alicia Vicander's in it. Alicia Mcander, you're a Deiasex Machina. Yeah.

And whoever Taylor Russell is, I don't know her, but. those all oh and another guy Cameron britton bunch of uh-huh a bunch of white folk in there yeah uh that that explains some things but i mean it doesn't really explain some things but when hearing that it's michael fast but i'm like because i'll tell you this not super recognizable as michael fastbender until you hear that it's michael fastbender it's kind of like it's kind of like seeing ruffalo it's kind of like seeing the hulk and then you get told by the way Look at the resemblance to Ruffalo when he's hopeful. I see. Okay. I see where you're going.

By the way, could Fassbender calm down a little? I know, exactly. My gosh, dude. Why so serious? They gave me cocaine before this trip. No kidding. I don't think I've ever seen Fassbender smile like that. It's interesting. The directors hanging with the three non-Korean actors. Right, yeah.

He looks a little concerned. here he is here in this photo. He looks like he's like, hmm. I think Brian thinks my movie's too long. I think Brian's not going to like this ending. Yeah, I can't wait till,

and I still recommend you see it and just be prepared that it might not end in the most satisfying way. However, the journey, that middle two hours of the thing could stand on its own as some of the best action I've seen in a theater in since like end game oh geez that's

high praise yeah I mean it's it's like not not content wise but level of action it's like the end game where you've got all the heroes fighting all the black order and all the you know the the the monsters the henchmen they bring in and Thanos and all that stuff like like where every minute on screen, you're like devouring all this action because it's really, really good. I'd say that. Yeah. I was going to say, Dr. Calhoun just said Alicia Vicander is married to. Fast Bender?

I didn't know that. I didn't know that either. That's what people are saying. So, yeah. He's robbing the cradle there a little bit. I wonder what their age difference is. Maybe they're closer. Yeah, I don't know.

Maybe she's just, you know, she just looks younger than she is or something. I mean, she's beautiful, but. She is. You know, Fast pender's not getting, he's no spring chicken anymore. Yeah, yeah. Um, yeah. Um, yeah, all right. Give me, give me a rating out of something 10, 10 or 5, whatever you want.

All right. Up until the last 15 minutes of the film, 20 minutes of the film, I would give it a solid easily an eight and a half. Okay. That's, that's pretty high. And I'm not going to let the ending, because I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, write an off-screen ending that is satisfying to myself that I can put in my head and say

here's what happens. Sure, you can do your own head canon on this. I mean, there's part of this just, for whatever reason, it just feels like, and let's throw this at the wall now. Again, it's something I can't wait to talk with somebody about, but I'd say eight and a half for most of the film. And then the ending is like, okay, maybe it takes it down a half or a whole point, a

seven to eight or seven point five but still pretty good still pretty good overall even if you count that that's not bad yeah yeah i i i recommend it it was only like teen i would have seen it tonight if it was in theaters for more than a day alamo draft house and who knows if allan alamo draft house will bring it um out for more days but this was released yesterday and yesterday was the only day you could get tickets for it at alamo draft house oh interesting It's a weird, limited... It's a very weird thing. Unless, again, unless they were going to see how it did,

and then move it into one of their other theaters. But we saw it on the big screen, on the IMAX, or their giant big show screen. Well, me. I was going to say, was Tina there? How did she get home so quick? But I was saying this is kind of funny. Like, I'm the first, one of the first people in the theater,

or four or five of us waiting outside. We all go in there, sit down. But I'm alone in my row. and then another person solo comes and sit next to me and then another person solo sitting on the other side. It's like a movie where you have a hard time getting friends to go see it with you apparently. I could see that.

Yeah, there was a run of four or five of us that were all solo and. Dedicated film goers, but not always a plus one in those situations. Right, exactly. All right, it sounds pretty good. I do like the Korean action stuff. I'm into it. Yeah, yeah.

That Bousson guy was one of my favorites. Train Bousan, great, you know, great comparison of the level of action and excitement and stuff. Like Bousan is a good, if you like Bousan, you'd like this. Yeah, one of the great zombie films of all time. It really is, yeah. And still found ways to do innovative things with, um, with zombie films, a tire genre. Yeah, which is surprising, right? Yeah, yeah.

All right, I think we have a little time for news. And then we'll have Wendy. Let's do some news. Yeah, so I think that sounds good. Let's go ahead and get that done. Here you go. Today's news is brought to you by. Brought you by Coverville, where Coverville will be dispatch today.

Did Chapter 5 last night. Can do Chapter 6 today instead of Coverville because it has been such a freaking busy week, both with Tina gone and me having to kind of pick up the slack here at the house, but also freelance and just kind of getting stuff done for rock puzzles monthly and other things. We're going to take a break from Coverville. for one week, be back with it again next week and play one more chapter of dispatch. Number six.

It's kind of nice to have a week without any major musical performance acts dying. It is, right? Yeah. I never did do a Tim Curry cover story because he had in addition, of course, to the frank and furter stuff for Rocky Harr, dude had quite a bit of music,

released quite a bit of music in the 70s and 80s, especially a song called I Do the Rock. that I know a lot of people have covered. Oh, interesting. Okay. So he may yet make the show. Yeah, there might still be like a set dedication to him sometime in September.

You're going to do a Frank Beard retrospective at some point? Probably not. I actually did just do a Zizi Top Story. Oh, all right. Cover story a few couple months ago. Yeah, you're probably good. Listen to that one. That's a good tribute to Frank Beard.

Yeah. Give me all your loving and make your music different, too. Dude, that's what they did in the 80s. The 80s, they did that thing. A lot of them were doing, which was like, let's change it up. And they became like Velcro fry, Velcro fly, Velcro fly, which is, almost said Velcro fry. You did, yeah, uh-huh.

Is a, it's effed. It's like not, it's not ZZ Top at all. It is, but it isn't. It's so freaking weird to me that that even exists. It is really weird. It doesn't even sound like the other stuff they were doing. the 80s like sharp dressed man and legs and even on the same

album it doesn't say it feels like it was like thrown in by I don't know it feels like parody it's really weird yeah it was really weird go listen to it everybody today and you don't know what I'm saying and then and then listen to like you know sleeping bag and yeah something's by my sleeping bag something good

yep you know what's the woke up with wood one is it called woke up with wood uh it might be it might just be wood I don't know that I think to Taylor Swift, Scott? No, it's, how's that go?

woke up with wood. I think it's them. There was a Zizi Top Parley-Parton connection. Well, hey, we have to do the news, so don't tell me. Yeah. All right. A Black Bear, Brian, we got a Colorado story. Yes, we do.

Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Black Bear found dead inside a car in Colorado as drivers worn to lock their vehicles. The Black Bear has been found dead inside this car. with authorities warning drivers to lock their cars. The 250 pound animal entered the unlocked vehicle in central Colorado Springs before destroying the car's interior,

unable to get out. The bear died in the summer heat, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. The huge bear's body lay in the car for days before it was finally discovered. Man, go check your car a little more often or something. I know. I mean, yeah. If you don't have to go out, you know, that car could sit idle. I want to know, and they never talked about it on the news, did the bear close the door behind him once he got in?

Yeah, I'm very curious about that. And if he did, did the car auto lock and he couldn't get out? Or are bears not articulated enough to open a door that they also had to open to get in? Right. I mean, you know, the outside handle probably a lot easier for a bear. Yeah, exactly, or pull it straight out or whatever. but once you're in there, if it's like, no, no, you have to pull it from the side. No, pull it from the side.

Did anyone call FDA, whatever, director, Health and Human Services, RFK Jr.? Yeah, anybody call him and tell him that there was a dead bear to eat? Maybe he'd take care of it. Just save me the penis. That's all, just, you know, put it on ice for me. I'll be out there tomorrow. Anyway, see, typically, this is their quote. Typically what happens is they pull the door open, get in, get their food,

and then they leave, according to the wildlife officer, Travis Sonder. He said this in the Gazette. You familiar with the Gazette? Did you do work for them? The Colorado Springs, I absolutely spend some time in the Colorado Springs Gazette. Yes. I was there for a week doing training. Oh, man, then make you sleep on the floor and...

Well, okay, I did get a hotel room. Oh, okay, good. But, yeah. Good, I'm glad. Sometimes the door closes behind them and they have trouble figuring out how to get out. Well, yeah, I would imagine so. Images shared, showed this thing, just fur and... dirt left all across the car. Let's see if there's a photo here. It just really destroyed the interior

of this car. I can't admit. I'm sure he panicked, right? Probably freaked down in there. Yeah. Probably contributed to his demise because he's, you know, got all worked up. Oh, wow, look at that thing. Yeah. Oh, it's a big bear. It is a big bear. Like, yeah, I feel bad for the thing. But oh, my gosh, the car's interior. Look, I'm saddest about the bear. They were here first. Of course. Humans are dumb, whatever, but look at that. You think your insurance covers that? Or do you just go in and go? Oh, my God.

You just want to total this? Just want to say, you know, that's totaled. We're done. Yeah, oh, for sure. That is the, I mean, you, you're not turning that back over to a car interior's person and saying, can you fix this? You're, this vehicle's interior is done. You're never getting the smell.

of dead bear and bear crap and urine out of the car, because I'm sure a lot of that happened in the process. Naturally so, I would think. Does the bear shit in the Subaru? Yes, it turns out he does. I love that it's a Subaru. Isn't it an actual Subaru? I really don't know what it is.

You're all like, yeah, it's Colorado Springs. Why not? Oh, no, it's not Springs that are hippies, right? It's Boulder. No, Boulder is everybody gets a Subaru when you move to Boulder. Yeah, the law. That's Park City for us. Yeah.

You go in there, you have to be one of two things, a Subaru owner. We can be three things. Subaru owner, a proud lesbian or a proud lesbian Subaru owner. Yes. Those are your three options. Yeah, for sure. I don't make the rules. For sure.

Anyway, don't let Bears do stuff to your deal. All right, everybody, that's the lesson. Exactly. That's the lesson. Don't be doing that. Yeah, I guess, you know, I'm thinking about it, like if you, in my Kia, if I don't open the car door all the way. and I open it just enough to get inside.

I don't have to pull it closed for it to close behind me. So that's probably what happened is he got it open just enough to crawl inside. The weight of the door still pulled it back closed and he couldn't get out. It must have been. Yeah, I mean, he's such a big 250 pounds, I assume is a pretty wide load and it would have to. Yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to think how our car would behave. Our car's got a lot of automatic door shit stuff now.

You know, like all cars these days, it's like all cars these days. It's like if you're not in it, it beeps at you. If you're too close to a thing, it freaks out. Like all those things. And I wonder if maybe some of that self locks or... I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Awful for everybody.

Especially the bear. I feel bad for that bear. He's just trying to eat. He's trying to live. All these humans around with are weird machines. He doesn't know. It's not his fault. That's right.

There's got to be food in here. There's got to be something. Yeah. I mean, it's a thing where people were at. And it smells like fries. Right. Right. That's the other reason.

We eat in our cars. So the bear smells that. They want in. I get it. Absolutely. Yeah. There's always a fry under the seat. Always.

So two days of bear talk yesterday. We had the hairless bear. Oh, no, that was Carter and I. Oh, was I going to say, I don't remember talking about a bear, but. Yeah, we were talking about how animals or dinosaurs probably look way different than we think, and not just the colors or the possible feathers and stuff. But we're thinking, like, because all we get is bones, we don't know what true muscle. existed and other cartilage and

different things that would create structure on the beast. And if today you take a bear and you gave us just its skeleton, you'd get just what looked like a big rat. It'd just look like a rat. Like a skinny, skinless or hairless rat. A skinny, no-tail rat.

Yeah. And, you know, I don't know if you've ever seen a bear with no hair, but it is a scary effing thing you never want to look at again in your life. I've only seen Fuzzy Wuzzy and Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. He was a bear. He was he had no hair. Yeah. Which is it turns out as a real problem. It's not good. Yeah, apparently so. Allopecia and bears. Look it up. A bear alopecia.

Bair opisha. Won't somebody please think of the bears with alopecia, please. I had a friend who just told us. I got a friend who just got alopecia and they did it because, or they didn't do it on purpose. They got it because of some, oh, what was it? They got a weird virus, some kind of infection that was so sudden and so hardcore on their immune system that it it created the alopecia condition and then wouldn't come back so you can't grow hair at all it's like eyebrows everything gone done and he's perfectly healthy now the virus didn't take him out but it took out his uh his hair that's crazy well i think is alopecia i just don't know what usually causes it but i guess like

traumatic traumatic traumatic body response stuff can do it something like that's wild i haven't heard of LPC getting triggered like that, but, well, he's actually excited. He's going to save on shampoo. Yeah, he's excited because it's like less shaving and all the stuff you have to do and all that. Less man escaping. Yeah, nobody wants more manscaping. No, no. Less, please.

All right, everybody, check this out. My relative by blood is here. Something wrong, Batman. Has anybody seen Wendy? My sister Wendy is here to do professional things in a very unprofessional environment. Wendy, hello. Hi. Hi.

Hello. You're relative by blood. Yeah. My relative by blood. It makes you different than the Koreans in the family, right? The Koreans. By the way, I've been watching, I think I keep telling you guys this, but I've been watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo.

And I know I'm always late to every game, but it's just so cute and wholesome, but it has really helped me understand our family better. Yeah. There are some cultural stuff. So Carter's way into it. Her and Alicia watched it. Yeah. Yeah.

It's very, how do I put it? I've watched some of it. It's very much like a window into Matt and Oaknon a little bit. Yeah. I realize they haven't been hating each other their whole lives. It's that there is this like intonation that comes with the language when they're upset. And I'm like, oh, this whole time I thought they were ready to rip each other's throats out. And really, they're just emphasizing work.

Yeah. It always felt like Matt Nognon like an inch away from divorce because when they would argue, they'd go, ugh, it's like this really irritated sound. It was way different than what we do. We get loud and like, they get, there's like an eh. Yeah, yeah. It's like a mean. And if I did that to someone I was talking to, it would be like really offensive and childlike, almost.

Like, whoa, we're throwing a fit. And they would do it. And we'd just be like, but they're speaking Korean, obviously. And we'd be like, oh, no. It's like, Kim, did you forget to pay the bill? E! And then you watch the show and you're like, it's part of the language of just like raising their, whatever you call that where you uplift your voice or frustration or whatever.

And I'm like, ah, this is making sense. Anyway, I love it so much. It's just like the cutest. Yeah, it's a cute little show. People should watch it. It's very good. And the girl in it, the main actor, actress, her, She's in, oh, shoot, she's sending something else we watch with the kids.

And we really liked it. And I can't remember it. So it's a terrible recommendation. Go and I, go to IMB, INB, look her up and check out her other work. She's very good. Yeah, so good. Speaking of having, like not knowing what to say or saying the wrong words. Yeah.

How long has that been happening to you? Because, you know, I'll do this sometimes with a client. And they'll say like. This is how it begins. I mean, look, I think that that's a. I think everybody does it at all ages. They just don't, they don't hear it and go, oh, shoot, does that mean I'm old? Well, I think you do a special thing that I think I also do.

He does lots of special things. Yeah. Then it feels like a genetic problem. But it's like where you put the wrong word in. That's like a real common. And it's an insane word and usually pretty funny word. Yeah. No, I 100% I crutch on that.

But I've done it my whole life. So I, you remember doing it when you. younger. Oh, yeah. Yeah. When I was in high school, even I would remember saying things like, I don't know,

somebody would say, who's the NFL team for the Baltimore? And I'd go, I don't even know if the Ravens are in then yet. But anyway, I'd say something like, ah, it's the blackbirds or,

you know, I'd just make up some alternate. But it's like close, but not even. Mine's usually like, it has some of the same letters, but it's nowhere near the same idea. Yeah.

That's usually what happens to me. Yeah. Like last night on me and Carter did a show and one of the, words we could not think of. I can't even remember who the character was, but there was somebody named. Ah, who was it, chat? Anyway, it was somebody who I could only think of the word Pilato Madudu, mid-dudu, which is not

correct. But it was close, and it led us to the answer. I did that at Trivia Tuesday night. I was like, oh, who's the guy that was married to Sophia Vergara's like Joe Manfringenson? Benjian Benjone Mention Yeah, you could not come up with Janello, yeah. Yeah, but you can get there eventually.

I didn't, though. I had to Google it. As soon as there was a break in the game, I had to Google it. Yeah, I don't remember what the character was or the guy was that we were talking about, but it's actually kind of helped me a little bit. Like, it gets me there.

Plus, you can have fun with it, and it can be funny, and you can, you know, sometimes surprise yourself with the dumb crap you say. So it works for the job I have. But I'm guessing if you're sitting, with somebody and they're like, and then the trauma of this and that. And you went, well, let me tell you, what's the word? Pallado Madoodoo? Like, you're not going to do that. No, probably not.

No, but I have done enough that people go, oh, yeah, you are your brother's sister. And I'm like, I forget that they found me through the show or something. And I'm like, what? And I'm like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Right. What I'm worried about is like, as you get older, that, you know, dementia, Alzheimer's, your first clues are like losing words. And I'm like, well, yeah, then I've had, how early does the idea have to start losing? I was going to say, this is the case. I've shown early signs since about 17, I figure. Yeah, all right. So good. We're not going to. Yeah, we're okay. We're doing all right. I mean, look at mom. She went to 85, 86. Seven. Seven without, uh, really, she still like was there, man, sharp as attack right up to the end.

Yeah. And noticing weird. things and saying stuff that she would hear and she could hear across the road. Like I'm, I hope to have a superhuman hearing. Yeah. Dad wasn't around long enough to know where he was headed in the long run, but I think we're okay. And we have no history of it in the family. So we're going to be all right. Yeah. So this thing is just a lifelong problem. Yeah. It's just a problem we have to deal with every day, all our lives. So today's a little weird because no new emails. And I wrote Wendy last night and said, hey, don't have any new emails. And you wrote back and said, hey, I'll come up with something. So this is like,

like a mystery. I love it. Yeah. We don't know what Wendy's going to talk about. So what are you going to talk about? Well, okay. So I have two options. I have two directions. One is call me, Column B. Yeah. How about you guys pick one? We could flip a coin, whatever. Okay, well, let me tell you what they are and then you pick it. Okay. So one is to talk about why so many of us get like how to feel better wrong. And then, you know, when someone gets it right, like I will, I will meet a client who has been doing the things to help them feel better, right? And they do feel better. And I'm always like, oh, you, you don't need me. Like, it's such a, it's so fun to have that experience every once in a while. It happens every once in a while.

And it's usually because they've already done therapy, right? And they've already, implemented the things. And so it just got me thinking about that. Like, what is it about, and we can talk about the underlying science of why it happens and then what to actually do about it, how to act in your own best interest. And why we don't do it and how to do it, you know. All right. So that's column one. Column two is what, well, it's a little personal. So you may not like it. It's called. Oh, no. Oh, I picked two already. Brian's vote is in.

I don't need to hear anymore. It's really that you're the example. And then we'll talk about the thing that extends from that. I had this realization talking to a client just this morning. I was like, you know, I'm kind of thinking like, what can we talk about today? And I don't have any emails in. So I get to just make something up. And then this client is we started to discuss this idea of like,

You know, this person has really high functioning autism, takes things very literally, right? And we were talking about attorney woo, right? And that literalism, how it can seem sort of the, I'm using quote fingers here, neurotypical folks tend to soften things or they will, you know, create some way of, it could be passive aggressive to really, so they're not going to say directly what they mean, or even if it's just like euphemisms or whatever to soften the reality of something. They'll talk in all these nuanced kinds of ways. And that comes fairly naturally to somebody.

They'll pick it up. They'll understand what's going on. They'll read the room, blah, blah, blah. But when you're your neurospicy, you are like going to take it literally and seriously. And so this client has this experience where she's got a southern contingency to her family. And it had never dawned on them. that some of that like just over hello bless your heart warmth right wasn't authentic all the time that it is also a cultural norm to behave that way and

that it didn't mean everything they were saying it's kind of like the American how are you right it's not truly an invitation to tell you how you are and so we were you know we were splicing up this what's literal what's not kind of thing. Interesting. It got me thinking, as I, as I'm talking to this person, I said, so when I was a kid, I remember my, my mom asking my brother to do funny voices. And then she asked me to do funny voices at certain points too.

And it clicked for me, why you can't have any silence. Okay. Yeah, because the other day Adam was just like, well, you know, in your family, there can never be silence. I was like, well, I bet they're. He's like, yeah, name it. Name a time where any of you let there be silence. It's actually got a pretty good point.

Yeah. And I was like, well, you family, just kidding. It wasn't like that. But it's true. Your family sucks too, Adam. It has too much silence. How about that? Yeah, how about that?

No, but it has more to do with like, okay, is the perform for me monkey was that? Was that a piece of it? Like what actual things were we making? filling the space for. And so it was a little bit of that. Like I was going to use your example and then jump into like, what are some of the things we do as adults now that come from childhood and, you know,

let people kind of dig. I'm, I'm all right with that second option. I think, I think that's interesting just beyond it having anything to do with my wackadoo, you know, behavior when my mom would say,

dance monkey dance. She did do that a lot though. There was a lot of like, you know, people would be over. I don't know, I'd be maybe nine or ten or something and she would say, Scotty, come in here. You need to do that voice.

You did it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I talked about it the other day with the Bohemian Rhapsody. Like I had to sing, I had to sit and perform from my Hungarian grandparents' friends when they came over and they gave me a dollar to do it. Yeah, I got a buck. Got a buck. You made money.

I did for singing. Listen, I had to sing the entire four and a half minute epic Bohemian Rhapsody. Yeah, from beginning to end, all the nuances and the... A dollar. Exactly. A dollar. Exactly. Now it's starting to feel like I got shafted.

Even in that, even at that time, even accounting for inflation, I think you got ripped off. Totally ripped off. Okay, that's hilarious. Okay. But let's just take the concept of it, right? Sure. So, I mean, I knew it could be a kickoff point because I was like, as this client and I were talking, I'm like, oh, that explains Scott. Well, you want to, you know what, real quick,

let me give you an audio example of what you're talking about, juxtaposed with you because I have this audio file. I may have played this for you before, but it's something I found on an old tape. And it's me burping and then blaming mom. She was in the room with us. Nice. And then it's you laughing really hard in the room.

And so this is, to me, this was the whole arrangement. It was mom, then me. playing off of that and then you laughing. And that's the loop I would often find myself in. So this is the audio from that. This is probably like 1984, 5, something like that.

So here you go. That was mom, not me. I swear it was mom. That's you laughing. I totally can tell that was Wendy laughing. Oh, that was great. Yeah. So that was kind of the, that was kind of the loop.

It's still funny. Yeah, still funny. Blaming your mom for who birthed is pretty funny. but but that was the if you want to know what most of if I could go back and just surveil our lives there's a lot of that going on there's a lot of that and this explains why I still think fart and burp jokes are still so funny is because that was that was the yeah the milk and meat I was fed with which makes you fart there you go yeah right okay well all right so take the Take the like, okay, there's like an innocent version and then there's like a darker version of this, right?

Which is, you know, you had a lot of practice maybe performing and Brian your love of music seems to not be harmed by that traumatic experience of singing. Thank goodness. Yeah. Right. But like there's some natural proclivities and then a parent sort of sees that and then asks for, you know, kind of kind of the idea is that the parents own you a little bit. I think that's what I'm working on with. a few people of like, why would parenting affect me the way it did my parents? And it comes from a lot of it is what was going on for that parent.

And sometimes there's just like a really talented kid or a funny kid or a, you know, look how good my kid is at tennis. And then suddenly you're Andre Agassi and you're writing your memoir about your evil dad, right? This is what happened at Tiger Woods, right? You know, his dad saw that he had this proclivity for golf and said, great, let's foster that. Yeah. And without that, I mean, I bet there's some. serious, impressive water pole potential players who never got in a pool because their parents

didn't realize they had to force them to do half of the thing to get there or whatever, right? And so we have this mixed bag a little bit. And then we have, so the darker side being like, it's really way about the parents. It's not what the kid wants. Exactly. And is damaging all the way to like whatever. But, but there is, there's, there is something about what stage, for lack of a better term, was created for you as a child. child. And, you know, I'm working with a guy right now who has, like, given up for adoption at like six months old and then foster parents divorce and alcoholism and depression and bipolar and violence. So just never feeling safe, wanted, you know, and it goes on to be a

very successful human being financially and in business. And then, but, you know, there is a cavern underneath all of that. And there comes a certain point where things start to follow up. And that's usually when people are like, I need some help, you know. But to realize, like, we are compensating, we're managing, whatever, maybe some of those darker elements were. So the way to kind of think about this, these are all all over the map at the moment, but is to think about what is something right now? And then you can say, oh, Scott, you were asked to dance like a monkey. This explains why you can't do silence. And that really helps you in your job. Yeah. Maybe there's, maybe there's. Maybe there's.

There's a piece of that that is, you know, some, some calm, quiet is disconcerting for you or something. Like there could be a flip side to that, you know. Well, it only, it actually, it's weird because it only applies to when other people are around. If I'm, if I'm in any sign, any kind of group setting, one or more, basically. So even just two people, although this isn't true of Kim and I, I, we talk and talk, but there are times where we're both just fine to be quiet and read books and chill and, you know, it's not a big deal. But when I'm alone, I really value that quiet.

Like that's that to me, like me, the dog on my lap, a book in my hand, maybe a little ambient music in the background, no one to bother me. Oh, yeah. It's heaven. I love it. Yeah. So I don't need to fill that space with noise. I don't know why, but I don't. Which is great.

I mean, it means there's some balance, right? You can imagine a world where there is no balance or the need to perform or make people laugh. I mean, I find comedians so fascinating, right? Like the funniest people on earth who get paid to be funny. And when they talk about it, like Amy Poller's podcast, I really enjoy because she gets other funny people to talk about their origin. It's legit funny, too. They actually earn. Yeah, it's really good at that show.

It's very good. It's really good. And she's so, I believe herself, but she also, she's so good at making people with her comfortable to be themselves in some ways that I find surprising. And I think it's because for most comedians, she'll have this moment where she'll describe a thing and then they'll describe their version, which is like the first time they got a laugh. The first time, like, they tasted the drug. Now they just wanted shot into their veins all day long, which was to crack everyone up or to

you know and and so there's there's fine healthy versions of that but no one is one thing i always say that to my kids if there's every moment someone's awful or misbehaving or you know as i just repeat nobody is one thing they're just not and so a comedian is not funny all the time and that's why when they say don't meet your heroes it's like well you've you've made whatever element that is your hero a whole person and that is not anyone no one is one thing and so but comedians are particularly because they can't quite, you don't have an audience all the time if there's a real hole in your life

you're trying to fill. Yeah. And so I want everyone to do this. So this is how I'm going to play to all the peoples. Okay. So when you think about anything going on in your life that is, you know, someone's noted, right? Maybe it's irritating to your partner.

Maybe your boss is like, for the love of all this holy, stop doing that, whatever. You know, just think about the feet. feedback you're getting and it can be positive. None of this has to be negative. But if it's negative, usually those are easy to find, you know. And just notice what it is. And like, you know, if someone wants to put, like throw it in a chat, I mean, brave on you,

but that'd be nice, that you could just sort of let rise up. And for some of you, it's already immediate, right? You're like, there it is, right? But just sit with the feeling that is associated with us. whatever that thing is. So, okay, people always, you know, my wife rolls her eyes when I tell the same story. Okay, let's say it's that, right?

Okay. And you, what feeling does that conjure? Yeah. And then here's the thread. And this is, I should probably have everyone sign a waiver, but you are tying it to something somewhere else in your life. There's a reason you do that thing.

and that reason started probably a long time ago. It could be fairly recent, but most of the time it tends to be pretty old, right? So Scott, you and I are in a conversation, you need to not stop talking. That would be the feeling. You're worried about how everyone else is feeling. And maybe it's like, I have to perform or I'm fixing this sort of emotional moment or something, right?

And then you just tie that thread on back and you find like what will have to happen typically is our brain will just either show us the moment where it sort of began or the general thing if it was on repeat. Sometimes it can be a really traumatic thing, right? This is why I should have had everyone's eye on no waiver. But just like see where that comes from. And what I want to illustrate is that it's not the hopelessness of your walking around as a sum of all of your experiences and you're acting out of all of them. But sometimes we really are. Sometimes we're having a neutral new interaction with the world, but sometimes we're having a very old, trained response to something that maybe hurt us or was a job we had as a very young child.

We shouldn't have had like keeping the adults around us calm or happy. Maybe it is literally physically trying to protect yourself or, you know, like I'm going to buy more things is a great example of I need this thing to be okay and we can trace that back to I didn't have things that helped me feel okay and so I am you know maybe chasing that feeling again kind of like the comedians chasing the laugh. Does that make sense? Yeah yeah and they're you always hear um I listen to a couple of comedians podcasts who are mostly doing them solo and they talk about this thing always needing to be the punchline. Like there has to be a punchline in every conversation

and that it's stressful and that you have to think about it. And even though they're like top of their game and some of the most recognizable, they sell out stadiums, you know, and that sort of thing. They still struggle with this feeling of like, I have to interject.

I have to do the thing. I have to say the thing. It's weird though, because the older I've gotten, not to, I'm not comparing myself to any of these guys, but as I get older, I do find,

find in situations my brain will go, here's where you would normally interject to keep things rolling or to punctuate or to, you know, whatever, but you don't need to just let this ride and see how it goes. I do that more now. And I don't know why. It wasn't even like a conscious decision. I guess I'm just old and I get it and, but don't really care. I don't care as much about every single person's feelings in the room. And so that's been interesting. Because it's almost like a weird experiment where I get to watch someone else do the filling in or the break the tension or the ice or whatever you want to call it. And it's a, that's been probably the last few years and it's, it's weird to have that. And it's actually

kind of nice. Like it feels, I don't feel the stress of it anymore. I don't feel like, oh, we got to, it's getting quiet in here. I guess someone's got to step up. I don't feel that as much as I used to. And one of the weirdest applications of all of this was the funeral with mom, mom's funeral. We're all out there and we all have a tendency. Like, I want to make Mark laugh. It's just in my DNA to make Mark laugh. I don't know why.

Just is. Make your older brother approve of you, I guess, or something. Yeah, right. So that's still in me. And so there's this constant desire to make him laugh. And it's kind of easy to do. He's easy to get laughing. And so I couldn't help.

But during this funeral, there was so much levity between me and my siblings. Wendy included that there were times where I had to stop and go, am I having too much fun here? Like is this too, is this too much of like, let's cover for the sadness with this other thing? And I think maybe it was a little much,

but it was weird how that was, that actually worked really well for me to deal with the whole grief part of it. I don't know. Or maybe it put it off. I don't know. Maybe I was still one day going to wake up in the middle of the night go, you never dealt with it, man. I'm going to have a

horrible night. It's very possible, very possible. I think also you have like a difference in dad's funeral, right? He was young and this was different. Yeah, this had some inevitability to it. Yeah. And and yeah, you weren't, there wasn't shock on top of the everything else, right? And I don't think you could stop us from being that way. That's just how. No, we're all, we're all wired for it. We're all, Misha's wired to be embarrassed by something I said. Wendy's wired to totally get it and laugh and burp at the Thanksgiving table. Like, we're all wired in a certain way, I feel like in these relationships. And it's interesting because I don't know really, it's hard for me to, you said, follow that thread back.

It's actually kind of hard. I don't know how, I don't know how to go back and find out. In this case, if I was interested in finding out, why do I feel like I have to make sure to fill the silence? I don't know where to trace that. Well, I would say part of it is like, you know, you can take the sum of your experiences, having dad loses job and you have to move to another school or, you know, like you had to learn to acclimate to new people and new circumstances without, you know, whatever, right? Like that could be a piece of and then you then have the natural ability to do some of it, right? So there's the, I mean, you perform a thing a little bit and then people respond well. you learn pretty quickly, like, oh, that works great.

And in most cases, and in your case, I don't think this has harmed you. Where it gets interesting with people and why they usually need help is the thing they did as a kid to manage whatever tension was there or to survive, you know, difficult things, they don't ever stop doing those things. And those things in adulthood are not beneficial. They're beneficial as a kid because they got you through it. They are not beneficial as adults and your relationships don't work and you don't know why. And the mystery of that, you know, I think sometimes people are like, I don't want to go to therapy and talk about my childhood.

And it's like, I get that on one hand. Yeah, you want to make today work better. And so actually, at least to my column A, which is why do I, why do I not do the things that actually make me feel better? And for some people, it's this exact thing we're talking about. Like, actually making your own emotions, your own well-being, your priority was very frowned on or was not allowed. Or my whole childhood job was to make sure my mom got out of bed or making somebody dinner or figuring out how to, you know, care for myself meant caring for everyone else. And so you're dealing with something much deeper than, I can't just. seem to, you know, drink enough water in the day. You know, it's, it's not that simple. And so sometimes

that's what's interesting about doing that work is finding those threads and then having it be helpful to you. A lot of people will be like, okay, well, great, I know now. I know that I had terrible childhood. What do you want me to do with it? And what you can do is recreate, like, you have to relearn some of this. You have to sort of heal some of that old stuff and allow these new experiences, like to trust someone again. And so, Scott, for you, maybe it's that you can let down the perpetual entertainer when they're silence. Like, you're able to do that in a new way because you realize nothing goes wrong if you do.

In fact, it's more enjoyable maybe or it's not your job or whatever. And we all perceive things in different ways, right? And for whatever reason, I guess some of it's genetics, some is family and some is how life works, you know, we fill in gaps to make sure people are comfortable, which lots of people like. And so it gets reinforced. And then, you know, you meet someone who's super Zen and they're like, why do you have to tell? And you're like, I think this might explain. I just watched like, I don't know, five documentaries on addiction. And then I watched like three more documentaries on autism. I watched another one. One I sent you about that kid who had got the name of the disease.

anyway perjera Wendy's all of a sudden saying why wasn't this column C yeah yeah we have a whole thing we can talk about now most of the people

and the feed I get like the algorithmic stuff I get on TikTok is people like this I follow a couple of people who are deep into Alzheimer's territory why am I so fascinated

by this stuff and I think I know why I think it's because there's like this weird raw because you talk about the neurotypical they're always trying to like

make it okay like the room's all padded because I've made it okay for everyone. You don't know what I mean? Like you kind of have overdone that to protect everybody. But an autistic person, it's somewhere on the spectrum who takes things very literally or, you know, here's something that gets them very upset or whatever. They're doing that because there's kind of an honesty to that. Yeah. Like there's a straight, straight across the board.

There's no fluff. It's just this is what you said. So this is what you must have meant. I think I admire that because the fluff we do is neurotypicals, if I'm even in that crowd, tends to not, it's not a lie, but it's a, well, no, it's okay. Everyone just, you know, it's just like you're overdoing the, let's protect everybody. Placate. Placate, exactly. Whereas even these folks that were addicted to heroin and stuff that I was watching, there was this weird raw honesty to their

addictions. It was like, yeah, their lives are in ruin. Their kids were taken from them. The people they love the most are taken from them because the addiction wins out. And it's not that that's a good thing. I don't admire that. What I'm saying is there's something about just the honesty of it all and the genuineness of their recovery, if they indeed recover, or in the case of these autistic kids to see them navigate in a different way, I just find that really fascinating because it's like so honest. Whereas most people, if I'm talking to them and they're quote unquote neurotypical, I never really know if anyone's telling, you know, if they're being truthful or they stretching this, stretching that. I talked to my autistic nephew, Owen, and he, I know exactly

what Owen's saying. And I know exactly when he means something. He doesn't cover up anything. And people like, it's easy to hear that and go, oh, not in public. That's embarrassing to say that out loud. I see it as the opposite. It's like, no, man, give me that raw. Give me that raw info. There's something about that. Well, it's why it's so funny, right? Yeah. Like, that's the thing I enjoy the most about attorney woo is like the honesty is hilarious. And then to watch all the other people go like, whoa, how do I, how do I handle this? And it's kind of amazing. And I think in another culture and language, it's easy to not be cringe about anything, right?

Because it's not, it's a whole other world. I think in your own world, it varies, right? And it makes it tricky. I think people are much better about this, I think, because the inauthentic city. Inauthenticness. Of the bless your hearts in the south and the, You're looking for Pilato Madoodoo is the word you're looking for. Yeah.

Like, you know, I think real people crave the real. And that has more to do. I mean, I don't know. We can have a whole other hour. See, free form guys is dangerous. Maybe somebody send an email in. But I was just thinking about how, like, how much I recognize AI writing now. And it doesn't have to be slop at all.

It just is the feeling of like, maybe it isn't AI. Maybe I just don't know how people talk anymore or in written form or some like graduation speeches. I'm like, why are we wasting our time? Yeah. We could just read that. Like something real is going to have a lot more value maybe than it ever has. Is my hot take on AI destroying us. No, I do too.

I've got this, I've had this feeling and I think it's actually a positive thing that we're going to, we're seeing the somewhat our argue, well, we're just, we're just cracking the egg now. You have no idea. We're just going to go. And it's easy to get that brain set. Um, sure. But I think we have enough experience with enough technology and just enough human history that we're going to hit a wall and we're going to go, oh, that's, that's all that'll do. All right. Well, that's cool. That'll help you hurry up and do a thing or you got to write a form letter real fast or you need a contract in two seconds or, or whatever. But if you're, if you really think that the world is going to hang 40 inch prints of AI generated art in their house, you're insane to think that they would do that. They're not going to do that. But there's there's this like, we're in this reckoning period of like,

how much of this do we really want? It's going to be weird. It's all about the speed of this. Like everyone always says, this is no different than computers or internet or anything else when it came along. Well, the big difference is that stuff had decades of iteration before it matured into whatever it's become. And you could argue this is just more of that metric. but the AI thing is so like 2023 is kind of your moment of relevance. So three years from where we were to now, it's insane how fast. It is. So that's the difference.

People are just like, you know? And for good or for real, we're all, we're a little unprepared for the speed. Yeah, 100%. Also, I just saw a clip of Regis Philbin. Hey, Regis. They announced the iPhone. He's like, this is ridiculous. They're like your iPod and your fan are in the same thing.

And then Kelly Rippa goes, I'm not going to use it for the internet. Like, I won't ever use that. That'll never happen. It's incredible. And he's just grumpy about it. It made me laugh. And I'm like, oh, why do we need to have one prod that's got both of these in it?

That's right. What's wrong with having two? Kelly Rippa, tell me what got on. 2007, baby. That's when the axis of the earth. I do miss. I do, I miss him terribly because there was a vibe about Regis Philbin that no one's ever quite equal to I miss that guy.

He's great. He was like, sorry to bring up all the loss in your life. Yeah, no, I mean, it's not when I really mourned, I guess, but I kind of miss his vibe. He was great. Anyway, well, I need to run, but let me say this. If I had talked about happiness and well-being, you guys all would want to sign up for

my class. So please go to do it anyway. Yeah. Do it anyway. No better you. We have one week. It starts on Sunday. The class gets just released on Sunday, and so you don't have to, like, be in class on Sunday.

But the stuff all starts coming out, and then we meet during the week and have lots of cool stuff. So please sign up if you are interested at all. There are a few scholarships left. So just reach out to me, and I can stop talking about this after next week. I missed our last time talking about. I mean, you should never hear. You should never worry about that. You should always be able to talk about it.

But however, you may as well get in now while the iron's hot. or strike while the iron's hot. That's the metaphor. Whatever old thing you're... By the way, most of those aphorisms are nautical. That one's not, but Google all of the aphorisms that come from freaking nautical, whatever. It's wild. Do you think that we just forgotten how big we were, that was?

That was. Yeah. So like, it's like trains. Like trains. Go Google up slash. Go Google slush fund, where it came from. Slush fund origin. Let's just find out real fast here.

It says, assuming you're referring to the traditional slush fund. Here we go. 19th century, galley fat. On long sea voyages, slips routinely boiled, salted meat, pork, or beef for the crew's meals. The process caused the fat and grease to boil off and rise to the top. So it was called slush. They would skim off this leftover semi-liquid fat and grease known as slush and store it at empty barrels.

So that was like your slush. Yeah, then they'd save it and then sell it. And that money was what the crew used for their extra fund. They'd make soap out of it, tallow Chandlers, that kind of stuff. Yeah. So, I mean, there's so many weird ones. Weird. I went to a maritime museum, if you can't tell, this summer.

I learned a lot. That's cool. Where, Minnesota or where? No, it was in Michigan. Yeah, it was very cool. That's cool. I want to check that out. Sorry, it was Wisconsin.

Actually, you know, Lake Superior, the Apostle Islands. that. It is magic. Freaking magic. Is that up there by Lake Ontario? Yeah. Okay. No, it's superior. Not America. Okay. No. Wendy, have a great week. Thank you so much for this. Everybody's sending your feedback and your comments. Take it easy and tell Peter to build something. By now. Yes. Oh. That's going to get me in trouble. Denied. Died. Scott's clicking Nintendo finger strikes again. Brian. I was going to say to you a thing. Oh, okay, I need the chat room's help because you're all here. I put a link in there a second ago. So you've all got the visual. At least I think it went in. It did. Please click that link or if you're just listening to this and you would like to help us out with a film sack thing. Part of getting the film, we're working on a blog, a substack that'll basically be a place for like long form written reviews, more film coverage. Just kind of a nice add on to the film sack experience. And the first. four of us are all pretty excited about it.

One of the problems is to get that thing to even launch and be public is people have to get subscribed to it. So I need at least 10 subscribers to start. This will fill up in two seconds. I'm not worried about it. But I haven't asked for it yet. So that link I just gave out is what you want to use. If you would rather go to the site, go to film sac.

com and film sacsac substack. That's cool. We should just call it subsack. Yeah, subsack. I don't know. I wish they'd let me. But anyway, go in there. And it gets subbed on there.

It's not a paid one if you don't want. It's just you can be a free subscriber. That's all they care about. And that'll get us started with that. That way I can then start building out the rest of it. I was going through it this morning trying to figure out what was next. So TMS people help us out if you're a FilmSack fan at all or even if you're not. Just go do a free sub at PhilSack.

Sorry, go ahead. Oh, I was going to say, I'll put some longer form movie reviews there because there, I don't have to worry about spoilers. People can just choose not to read it if they don't want to be spoiled about the movie Hope, for example, and what that ending is. Sure. Absolutely. And so get over there. Check it out. FilmSack. Dot substack.com. There's nothing there yet other than to sub. And again, it's free. Doesn't cost you a dime. So if you are willing and able, we would love that. Thank you so much. Cool. We have a quick email. This is from, who is this from? Let's see. This is about the jugs of pee. This is from an anonymous listener. And it seems irritated, but let's see what he says. He says, hi, can you just say the name of the dog shampoo already so I can try it on my stinky dog, thanks.

Why don't you just tell me the name of the dog shampoo you're talking about? It's always anonymous people. They're a little bit grumpy. Oh, you didn't post the link in Twitch. I think you just posted it in YouTube. Oh, I thought I didn't both. Did they not? No, people are saying that they didn't see it.

I'm scrolling and I can't find it in Twitch. Oh. I see No Better You. Oh, I did the No Better You link for Wendy. I thought that my head told me the wrong thing. Sign up for that class anyway, but... Yeah, sign up either way, but I'll get you... They go.

Biochow just did the link. Oh, okay. Thank you very much. All right. The dog shampoo. The dog shampoo. First of all, just a shout out while I was taking pictures of the dog shampoo. Shout out to this guy's Tesla. His license plate is FFX-1V, which is Final Fantasy 14.

That just means there's a nerd out there, and I just like that. Nice. I love it. Yeah. All right. it is. It is called. It was a huge name, so that's why I took a picture of it. Oh, okay. Oh, wow. No kidding. You can get this at Walmart, so it's not like a hard thing to get. It's called veterinary formula clinical care, antiseptic and antifungal medication, medicated shampoo. That's the full name. It doesn't say who this is, the brand, I guess it's just veterinary formula. Real boring little bottle, but this stuff has been a, I mean,

One bath changed her. It is crazy how well this worked. Nice. Now, it's our dog. She may have her own unique weirdness, and who knows, maybe every dog's different. But if you got a stinky dog or a dog that, like, seems like he's kind of oily or putting off a weird funk and their hair's coming out weird and they're itching a lot, that sort of thing. Turns out that's exactly what she needed. So, again, antiseptic and antifungal medicated shampoo from veterinary formula.

They are in a Walmart. Very good. probably elsewhere. So there you go. That was it. Buy it wherever you buy your stinky dog shampoos. That was it. All right.

For those in YouTube here, substack, whoops, film sack, doing two things at once here. Film sack at substack.com. There you go. Use that.

All right. That is it for today's program. Please send your messages in. Keep coming to us. It's frogpans.com slash TMS. We got core after the show today. One today, I should say. Or no, 12, sorry, noon.

Noon for core. Noon for core. Dispatch right after this. Yeah, exactly. Like, I'm going to start the timer. We'll do a raid and we'll jump right into chapter six of dispatch. Very nice. After I made a big decision that made Mac addict go, wow.

Really? He was surprised about my decision at the end of chapter. I don't want to say because that's spoiler. Oh, what you chose in the game. Got it. Yeah, yeah. Okay. And four never made it to prime time because he didn't record it. Four, I forgot to record it. Yeah. So 1, 2, 3, 5 are all on my YouTube channel, but 4 didn't make it.

You're not going to get the, no sexy bits. Maybe I was going to say, yeah. I almost said, well, I'll just go through because I'm going to redo it again with the censored stuff off. And I'll let people watch their nose. No, I guess I can't do that because it'll be the uncensored version. So you can't do that. Yeah. It's a you could always do watch along of somebody's play through. Yeah, which I might do. Yeah, that might work. Anyway, and then after that, TMS Friday tomorrow, 9 a.m. be here for that. That'll be fun. We got the BlisCon co-stream Saturday at 1130 with Bobby and I, so watch for that. Interesting. That'll be fun. Yeah, already up on the schedule, so you should be able to get notified when we go live.

That'll be both on YouTube and Twitch, and we will be doing a full co-stream all the way up, probably through the early wow stuff they're going to talk about. After stage stuff, then they do wow stuff. I think that's probably as far as we'll go. basically most of that Saturday. And then film sack on Sunday. So check that out as well. The movie that launched an entire franchise, the very first Capricorn. Capricorn won.

Yeah. I've only seen Capricorn 4, so this is going to be interesting. Oh, good. Yeah. You'll understand the whole setup of Capricorn. Yeah. Capricorn versus Freddie. I don't even count that Capricorn versus Freddie.

No. No, it's not canon. They've already gone on record to say that Freddie versus Capricorn is not canon. And if we do, it'll be on film sac, so I'm not going to worry about it. So there you go. That's film sack this weekend. Capricorn one. Get your 70s hat on.

It's time to watch Thanos's dad act. So that would be cool. Great. Excellent. Brian, let's get out here with this song. Yeah, this one is going out to Jeff Bremel, who says, hello, Spacey and befuddled. Can you play this song anytime you have an empty date? I forgot to send an request for my 60th birthday this year that happened in early August.

It slipped my mind. is I was prepping for the finals and skills finals that I would be taking for the surgical tech program I'm enrolled in. I love the snow globe. Jeff Rimmel. Yeah. Totally fine.

My God. He's doing great, man. Yeah. I feel like, you know, you can be excused for missing a request there. And happy 60th, man. And man, way to go.

Yeah. This is a cover of Pink Floyd's Time and Breathe Reprease, or Reprise, Reprise. This is from the All Access Volume. one out that came out in 2010. It's a bluegrass cover of Pink Floyd by the band Green Sky Bluegrass. That's a great name.
