Everything else is fine. Hello, and welcome to TMS. This is the morning stream. for Monday, September 21st,

2000, 26. I'm Scott Johnson. That is Brian Abbott. Hi there. Hello there. Hello. Hello. Hello there. Our new cadence for the year. The rest of the year will be like this. Yes, we'll only talk like this.

I'm so glad we missed Talk Like a Pirate Day. Yeah. So glad it was on a day we don't do TMS. It was Saturday, right? Yeah. Yeah, I didn't even, um, I do anything pirate related that day. I don't think I did. I did not do any talking like a pirate at all.

that day. I pirated nothing. I played no pirate video games. I did nothing. I did nothing like a pirate on Saturday. Perfect. And I like pirates. I like pirates. I do nothing like a pirate day. Exactly. That's the new day. And I like pirates. I'm into the lore. I'm into the whole vibe of the pirate. But I don't want to have a day where we talk like it. Okay. I just don't want it. Yeah. And you all can have it. If you're out there, I don't know who was all into it last Saturday. There were probably people having parties. I don't even know. Who knows? More for you. You can have our share of the talk like a pirate. Take all of my pirate talk. That's right. Absolutely. That's good to see you all. We're here for a fresh week, fresh hot new week as we roll into, my gosh, October's right around the corner. It is. It's scary.

Yeah. I don't like it. I don't know. Tomorrow we get the first day of fall, right? Or I guess the equinox is tomorrow. Is that right? Seems early, but you're probably right. that sounds right. Wait a minute. Hold on. Yep. Is that tomorrow? Yeah.

Okay. See, that's the one you celebrate. You get out there like a hippie and burn candles and stuff and I don't know what you do. What do people do? Your own version of midsummer is what you do, right? Yeah, yeah. Minus the murder. Well, sure.

And the human sacrifice and all that. Spoiler, I guess. On that movie. Anyway, it's good to see you all. I would like to make a recommendation that I found on Reddit, a thing not to do. Okay. Even though you might say, well, hold on, those are some of my favorite talented Hollywood types. As you can see here, there's a photo of Christopher Nolan flanked by Matt Damon on one side and a young Peter Parker, aka Tom Holland on the other side.

And they're at this restaurant in Mumbai. It's 108 years old. So it's got some cred, right? Some time, some creed. At least some time. And as you can see here in this image, they're just chilling, having, those look like Turkish coffees or something. I don't know what those are. Yeah.

It says here in the headline, 108-year-old Mumbai cafe where Christopher Nolan, Matt Damon, and Tom Holland had chai. Oh, I guess it's chai. Oh, I guess it's chai. Cheye in July. That's fun to say. July. July. We have a new month or a new thing.

Perfect. Let's do it. I like it. Anyway, in July, and it just had its license suspended over unhygienic storage of dirty water. Sorry, unhygienic storage, comma, dirty water, cockroaches, and flies. Nice, wonderful. Yeah, so don't go there. And I hope it went okay.

Has anyone checked on Nolan, Damon, and Holland? I mean, they all seem to be, I assume this was a meeting of a little Odyssey. Odyssey business. Must have been filming out there, I guess, maybe, or something. Let's see, July. I'd probably done in July, right? Oh, yes, press junket. Oh, that's, yeah, that makes sense.

Yeah. Let me tell you something about Hollywood. Okay, so if I was in Hollywood, if I was a big-time actor gay. Sure, uh-huh. Or a producer, whatever. The press junkets used to be way more U.S.-centric. It's like, you go to New York, and you go to L.A., and you do it.

Right, right. But now you go freaking everywhere, because the money is. is everywhere, right? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So I feel like, I'm trying to think what level you'd have to be. You'd have to be like Tom Cruise level maybe to get away with this. Maybe Harrison Ford. Don't scratch your spot, Scott. Don't scratch your spot.

I almost nicked it right there. I know. Don't nick your spot. I wouldn't go to India. And let me tell you why. Okay. India's gross, all right? It's gross. Every time I see anything with India, it's people eating weird food off the ground that some guys mixing up with his bare hand.

I'm telling you, I don't want to besmirch an entire nation. But I guess I am. I'm going to. I guess I'm going to. I really, I can't do it. I can't eat there. I can't go there. It's just diarrhea on full blast.

That's what that is. I think you're seeing, you're seeing like, because I know what you're saying. There's a Patreon that I subscribe to that is one of my favorite Patreon's. It is absolutely free and you get these regular collections of videos that just there's some in there that just cracked me up for minutes after I watch them.

Still laughing. And you get to see kind of the worst parts of third world countries and you just kind of start assuming that the whole place looks like that. A whole place looks like that. Although it, in our chat room

dot mafica says nah you're right India's gross be smirching all you want but I feel like if you if you're Tom Cruise if you're one of these a-list celebrities

that does the press junket and they come to India you're going from the airport right to the four seasons you you know you may be passing through some of these areas but

oh my God that looks so good whatever he is making looks so damn good you're gonna have the shits look at him using his hand well I use my hands when I'm cooking too, Scott. I wash it

beforehand. Yeah, but do you do you, do you, we don't know plus he's wearing, is he wearing gloves or is that just a wristband? That's just a wristband. Okay. Yeah. All right. But I mean I, you know, I reach in that salt thing that the smoke salt thing that Kim gave us and I get a pinch of salt

and I drop it on the, on my onions and peppers and stuff that I'm simmering or whatever. Do you pour it over your hand like that? Like, if you have like a broth, do you go like, man, I'm going to go ahead and pour on my hand. Watch this. Here he goes.

Right. Oh, like that point. He does pour it on his hand. The hell is that about? He's filtering. It's hand filtered is what it is. Just diarrhea. Did you do a search for gross India street food?

I just did Indian street food like basic. And I'm sure. 100% sure. I've seen shows. I've seen, you know, Anthony Bourdain or whatever. They go to these places and you're like, oh, okay, I could do that. Yeah, they have restaurants. You can go to a restaurant.

You don't have to eat on the street. with people making food with their hands and stuff like that. Yeah, I don't know. I just, I know my guts and I think I just suffer there, man. I think so too. There's, you know, that's a nasty one. Oh, geez. Their feet.

Yeah. Now you've, now you've searched for the worst. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure there's some, there's some culture. Oh, yeah, there you go. Oh, look at the flies. Yeah, there might be bees. Oh, God, whatever they are.

I don't care what they are. I don't want them in my food. Yeah, what is this guy doing? He's got his feet all in up in this. Oh. Cracked it. Pulled an egg out of his underwear. Yeah, and that egg had a, the egg was like a full bird in it.

Not to mention the, uh, took a drink out of something and then sprayed it on the food. So, yeah, that's the worst of the worst. Ooh, man. But I think if you're a celebrity, if you're high enough on the celebrity list, you, you, you go to places that are much nicer. or you end up going from, you know, like I said, the airport to the, I don't know, Marriott, Four Seasons, Omni hotels, whatever there is in Indian. Just don't go to the one Matt Damon went to. That's all we're saying. Just don't go to that one.

Yeah, that's a little scary. Look at this guy. So this is the worst. So he's like, okay, we're cooking food. We're smushing it. We got hands. Okay, great. And then this guy's over your picnic butt.

Scratches, his crotch. fantastic. Oh, no. Oh, geez. Good stuff. No, thanks. I'm good. Yeah. You can skip India for your question. I'm not, I'm just not going to go. And it's fine. Look, it can, it's a huge, populous place with lots of culture and interesting history and all that stuff. But I'm not going there to eat. No, I'm saying. For sure. Yeah. Although I do like Indian food. Here. Here. It's good here. Right. But if you, do you, would you worry if you went into the kitchen of a,

Salt Lake City Indian food restaurant that is traditional and, you know, from a family that came here from India. And you watch them in the kitchen and they're using their hands and stomping on bananas with their feet. I mean, yeah, you're not wrong. Like if I've, there's, there's the potential for that behind those swinging doors. That's true. And the best Indian I've ever had was Indian food from an authentic family-owned Indian place. I just don't know. I don't have any back room access,

so I don't know what's going on back there. But for all I know, they're stepping on bananas. But we have, you know, they don't have the guys who come around the food board safety group that puts the A, B, C plus signs in the window there. So we have the higher requirements and standards of where you keep keeping your cooked food and your uncooked food together or your meats and vegetables in separate parts of your refrigeration. system and all that sort of thing. So I get it. Just weird. But again,

no offense to anybody. I know, like in our chat, we have some folks with Indian heritage. I know Rishi B's in the chat. Yeah, Rishi B, hashtag offended. I'd go to his house. No problem. In a heartbeat. Yeah. Yeah. He's fine. It's not that. It's not about

anything other than I just, these are the videos. These are what I have to go on. Those are the videos that you see. Exactly. That's, you know. I don't ever see somebody sitting. on the street, you know, not stepping on food. Like, show me somebody who's got really clean. Like, we need to find video, do it. We'll do a search sometime for Michelin Star Restaurants, India.

And find videos of like, you know, if there are Michelin Star restaurants in India. Yeah, good question, right? I don't even know. Yeah. Man, I was such a, I was such a, such a naive person. I always thought, oh, Michelin, fancy. Because it is. It's like a big deal.

If you're a restaurant and you go, whoa, two stars at the, you get into Michelin. And you freak out when you hear this stuff. And then somebody finally informed me that it was the same Michelin as the tire company. It is. Yeah. And that threw me. That made me go, this all came from the tire company. What the hell?

They're not eating food out of tires. No, that's not what I mean. I understand that. And I understand that it started as like a promotional vehicle for them to go, these are the places highest rated on your road trip using Michelin Tires. Like, that was kind of the original idea. Right, right, right. And it just cuts, it cuts the fancy off just a tiny bit. Just shaves it off.

Yeah. It's like, oh, a tire company came up with it. Boren. That's lame. That's like going, oh, the highfalutin Coca-Cola Tower. I don't know. Well, it's just like. Exactly.

TV stress, I was just about to bring up Guinness Book World Records. Same. It comes from Guinness Beer. Yeah, that one also bugged me when I heard it. But at least. that one matched up with like, oh, it's like a barbed almost. It's like, right, exactly. Like, uh, uh, how many, how many quarters can you, can you balance on the end of your elbow and then catch it?

Oh, you've got the Guinness Book of our records. We just got the Guinness record. Very good. We should make a book. A brilliant. Brilliant. And we could, and we could go worldwide. Bring it.

I miss those ads. I do too. Brilliant guys. The, uh, the, um, the Terry Gilliam looking. Animation. Love those. Gosh, dang, those were classic. Bring those back.

Anyway, Brian, you printed something you wanted to show here at the top of the show. I did. I'll show this really quick. So I've been experimenting with these little guys right here. This is a sticker that contains an NFC tag in it. Oh, interesting. Okay. And I can read and write NFC tags, a little phone app.

So what I did is I created Coverville 3D business cards. that actually have the sticker buried inside it. You can kind of see the outline of it in there. And so when you, you know, when I send out a 3D print of a, one of my Khyber crystal holders, I send one of these. And then if you tap it, let's do it. Let's try it. Hold on a second.

Yeah, I don't even know how those work. I know it's like we do this at the gym. That's how we get in. Oh, there you go. And then you get, it opens up to the Coverville 3D website. Nice. Yeah. See, there's other ways, people, than just giving a card to somebody.

You know what I mean? Right, exactly. So I'll take a few of these. You know, I'm not going to give these to everybody at the craft fair. But if somebody's like, oh, do you do custom work? Then I'll give them one of these and say, by the way, when you get this, just tap the bottom of it. And it'll open up a new page right there. happen on your phone? On iPhone, it asks you, do you really want to open this? Yeah, it's because

NFC, not NFC. You could. NFC. Is it NFC? Yeah. NFCs can be, um, sketchy, but. They totally can. But Brian's not ripping you off. I'm not ripping you off. Exactly. But if you, uh, I think on Android, it just goes right to the page. I think you have to do an initial acceptance and then it'll just work every time. I think that's how it. Yeah. I'm sure that's it. Yeah. Well, that's cool. Yeah. Next time we're at any kind of event, I demand one. I want one. You will 100% get one. Or next time I have to send you anything.

I'll just include one of these in the box. So are they, I mean, how time consuming is it to print something like that? I can do 10 of these on the printer in about three hours. And plus, you know, they're multicolour. You can tell maybe if I hold it this way that like the printing is raised on the white surface. Oh, yeah, yeah. I like that. So it has to pause, and then I go and I, you know, go around each one and go,

blark, blork, blork, blork, blork, blork, and stick stickers inside each one of them when it does its halfway point of the print. Love it. Yeah. That's awesome. You had a 3D printer weekends, what you did. I did. I really did. Yeah, design and print 3D stuff and did some stuff for Amy.

That's already shipped. Nice. But a really cool mechanical thing. for her pottery wheel that like grips onto the sides of things. And when you rotate it, the little grippy guys go, and they, they grasp whatever's in the middle. That's cool. Really cool.

Yeah, she found that online, so I didn't design it. I just printed it for her. Nice. Yeah, that's what friends are for. That's right. Guys, it's time for Dunaway. And how do we know that? We know it because of this.

Whoops, that didn't, that's way too quiet. Here we go. Yes, that music signifies the arrival of one, Brian Dunaway is going to compete with me in a little game that Brian Ibbott devised. And we're welcome to the program now. Brian Dunnaway. Hello. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian.

Amen. Oh, hello. How are you? No, doing good, man. Doing good. Just, you know, another week. No, another dollar. Or however, what's the phrase?

Another day. I'm not sure. Did they announce the, uh, the rates yet? I don't know what the value of the dollar is. Yes. Maybe another. The Fed raised interest rates, uh, last week. And so it's another day, another 18 cents.

Another 18 cents, everybody. That's right. Get ready for $8 gas. All right. Hey, it's good to see. Actually, I was up, it was, I saw gas at seven something in California, $7 something. Seven, really? Yeah. And I know, listen, I know people in like, I don't know where it is, Denmark or whatever.

They're like, it's always like 20 here. What do you mean, eight's bad? Like, no, you got to understand. We're used to like $354 max. Yeah. Four is high. All right? I remember as a kid seeing dollar or something.

like they had the pre-printed $1 on the signs, and they would just change the last two digits. And you could go inside and get a mars bar for a nuclear. Yeah, whatever. For a hot minute in my early married years, gas dropped to as low as like a buck 80. Yeah. And it was glorious, man. I could fill a big, I could fill.

I had a suburban for a while when the kids were little. I got a good deal on it. And we could fill that thing with gas for like 20 bucks, which at the time still seemed like a lot to me. That same tank today is like 90, 100 every time you fill it up. And you can hear it gulping gas as it drives down the road. Ah, poor old man shit to complain about her. I'll bring it around and bring it around. My daughter, Zoe, she started working at a family friend's gas station.

And she did come home and she says, oh, it is bad out there. She says people are like putting in three and four dollars worth of gas. And I was like, yikes. That doesn't get you very far, dude. That's like half a tank. Not even that. Sorry, half a gallon in your tank. Right.

Terrible. She's on the front line to see in that. Yeah. Well, look, one day we'll all die. So it's fine. Wait, will we need gas? You won't need gas where you're going, buddy. We'll turn into gas, but it'll take a really long time.

That's right. Speaking of taking a long time, let's explain this game and how it works. I'm very excited to play today. So Brian, I'll be take it away. Sure. Welcome to Do Frogs, Have Brains, a countdown-style trivia game. I've got 20 questions across various subjects, schooling, science, art, entertainment, history, and more. Scott and Brian are each going to get 90 seconds to answer as many of these questions as they can.

If you don't know an answer or want to skip to the next question, just say pass. While Scott's answering his questions, we're going to put Brian into a soundproof isolation booth. And at the end, the player with the most correct answers after 90 seconds wins the prize for their contestant. Those contestants have been pulled from our Patreon supporters at patreon.com slash TMS.

So, real quick, I need to come up with a, I've got a tiebreaker for you. I had an idea for one. Let me see how quickly I can. We so rarely land on a tie on this one. I know. And I don't want to use a high, low. I want to have some fun with this one. Oh, okay.

Oh, did you say Megan? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see, the creep franchise. I don't know what that is. Yeah, like it's found footage. Paranormal activity you said, insidious. You said sinister. Happy Death Day.

Halloween franchise from 2018. 14 forward. Oh, I didn't know that. I didn't know that either. Blackphone, Megan, Five Nights at Freddy's. And that's about all the ones that part would have got. That's pretty much all of them. That's pretty much all of them. Yeah. So very good. They never made a speak no evil sequel, right? The one with, um, I still haven't been seen it, but I know it's them. The James McAvoy one where he's like a weirdo on vacation. Oh yeah. Yeah. No, they haven't. That was really good. Yeah. And they didn't make two of those, right? There's just one of those. Just one. Just one of those. Yeah. Well, there you go. You know what me and my guy get, we get a victory pickle. You get a victory pickle. And congratulations. Congratulations. Done away. Oh, what a shame. What a shame.

Brian, what did our winners get or losers get? Yeah, absolutely. Brandon is getting a copy of New Star GP and Welcome to Elm, courtesy of Jutper. And Matthew Baker, for coming in second place, you get Dr. Livingstone, I presume, reversed escape room. So I guess you're trying to escape into a room, if I'm understanding that correctly. That's a weird idea. That sounds kind of cool. I like the sound of that. Man, that new Escape Room 2 or whatever it's called,

the sequel to the popular Escape Room game on Steam is so good. Every time I think about that game, I go, Oh, Brian Abbott should be playing that effing game. I totally want to get that. Oh, it's so good. What's it called again? It's called Escape Room. I think it's just Escape Room 2.

Like they took the full name Escape Room. Is it right? on Steam. Let me see if this is right. Yeah. Oh, sorry. Escape. No, is it Escape Simulator 2?

That might be it. That's it. Escape Simulator 2. They added VR support. Not that that matters, but the game is perfectly playable without it, but it's really freaking good. Oh, wow.

And it's on sale for the next seven days for 1399. Oh, and it's, you can play it on Mac. I wonder if you can play it on meta. Probably if you plug it into, to your PC or your Mac, it will work in that regard. I don't think they have. Well, they may have it built into the meta.

I don't know. They might. But it's very, very good and hard. I can even get the bundle for one and two for $21. So for an additional $7, get both of them. And also has a really cool co-op mode if you want to play it that way. So we could totally stream something if you did it.

And then if you wanted to play a bunch of stuff other people make, it has mod support. So people make puzzles and stuff. It's really cool. Yeah. Really great game. First game was great. Second game is like, freaking peak. Anyway, but done away, good job. You'll be back here Wednesday to try all this again and we'll see how that goes. It's going to go great. It's going to go great. Kiss our butts. All right, he's out.

That'd be the end of that. That's it. That's as much of that as we can handle. No, that's it. So if you thought that was cool, guess what? This is even cooler right here. if you're like, wait a minute, that's not Bobby's usual intro. Here's the news, everybody. I don't know if we have shared this publicly or not, but Bobby got a job as a teacher, a science teacher at a local school district. Perfect. And as a result, I know, it couldn't be more perfect, right?

Yeah, yeah. Amazing. I would love to be those kids in that class. That would be very cool. No kidding. I mean, we have been for every third Monday for the last several months. We've been those kids. So to fill in, we have the currently international, because she's not here in the state.

She's not currently in her new home of Alabama. She's abroad right now. And I don't mean she's a lady, like they'd say back in the 30s. But she is, and it's Dr. Nikki. She's a hell of a broad. Yeah. Look, she's here now. Hello.

Hi, how are you? What's that hat? I like this hat. It's an awesome beret. There's a lot of layers to this get-up. The berets is because I'm in France. And the makeup that makes me look dead is because I'm going to talk about dead bodies. Yeah.

Very good. On technical tea. I love this. On technical tea. We're recording technical tea like directly after this. So we usually do weird makeup. Oh, this is perfect. I'm glad that we could do this on that day because you guys are always doing face stuff.

And it's a nice trick because on the one hand, you guys are just having fun. But on the other hand, it is kind of a draw to go. What are they going to do next week? It is. Yeah. Right. Exactly. I thought you were going to talk about prints.

I thought you were going to talk about. Prince is a zombie with the makeup because you're wearing a blueberry beret. Yeah, exactly. I could work that in. Yeah, work that in. Well, so in France on a, what do you call it when we originally talked about this? What's it called? It's like a fellowship or something.

Like right now I'm at my parents' house, but we're on our, I'm on my way to Austria. I'll be in Austria next week for my fellowship or sabbatical, whatever you want to call. I love the look at this place. It looks like 1970s rustic. It's a former duck barn where they used to make foie gras. Oh, I can't imagine how you ended up in the industry you ended up in. You grew up in a duck farm. Right, a duck barn.

Also, probably, as you go up those stairs, if you don't duck, you're going to hit that wooden beam that goes across right above the... And people have... The woody hat. And hey, if you ever want to have a vacation stay in France, this is the house you would be seen. That's a wonderful. This is my friend's guest house, and this is where I'm recording.

I know it's echoey, but... No, it's so cool. It's so cool. Does it still smell like ducks at all? I get a little duck whiff. No, but when we jackhammered out the floor, it's one of the worst ammonia smells I've ever smelled. Oh, gross.

So bad. Better than eating in India. All right, hey, that's a whole other story. Let's get to this. Now, we're very happy that you're not only willing to do this, but, you know, swapping scientists for a month. You're an actual scientist, by the way. Bobby just follows science.

Well, Bobby is very good at science communication. And in fact, better than me in a lot of aspects, I'm not going to bring you any physics or very few space topics. So you have to call Bobby back up for that. And I'm not replacing Bobby. I'm just, you know, stepping into his warm seat while he uses his hair to train children for good. Well, he freaks them all out because all they know is Jesus at home. And then they come to school and they're like, ah, Jesus was cool today. Right.

He's going to teach us how to turn water into wine. Cool. So we've had this question for. Yeah, he's Jesus and I'm dead body. There you go. We're doing opposites. You're the three days later version. Somebody's got to help move this down.

So, yeah, one of the things that's come up recently was this trip me and Kim made and Brian years ago made to this Audities Museum that travels around the country here. And it was super fun. We had a great time, but there was a lot of chatter behind the scene from Discord and other places where people are like, oh, I've heard sketchy things about how they source stuff or vet distribute or people that come and do booths and they don't really know where the, were the animals or the carcasses or the stuff's not all on the up and up blah blah blah. And I...

Not always a humane sourcing kind of thing. And my vibe while I was there was that a bunch of this was great. And then a couple of them were just like something was sketchy. Like this one smells weird or this one like the guy running it looks like something's just up. Like I couldn't put my finger on it. Well, they got to look like that to sell the merchandise. Yeah, that's true. Like I look today.

That's true. But you and they did, by the way. Everybody had like makeup like that. and everybody was, okay, I got a quick question about cosplayers and or the emo community. No judgment from me, but those who are like permanently sad, those people, not permanently sad, but their whole vibe is like the cure, mid-80s cure. You know what I mean? Emotional.

Emotional. Is there a powder going on or are they that white? That's the question. Oh, that's foundation. That's white foundation. Okay. So they are putting on some kind of, that's what, Kim told me that. Just some of them look natural like corpse paint.

Okay. Yeah. All right. There you go then. Well, good luck to that community and may they all not watch South Park because I really get ripped on them on there. Anyway, let's get to it. Tell us more about that world and how do you know if something like that's okay to be given your money or your time to? I can go a lot of different directions with this.

So I as a hobby, I'm like pretty into taxidermy and stuff like that. So in terms of ethically sourcing that we can talk about, I was going to focus on. where do we get dead bodies for stuff? Whether that's, you know, you're going to med school and you've got to do dissections, which I've taught some of those classes, or you're at the Audities Expo. I've actually been to the New York version. So I've seen those booths.

And they famously in 2021 did a live dissection, or not live, live dissection of a dead body. A human body. And then there was, yeah, a human body. And there was controversy about that body. So I was going to talk about that. And then also like historically, where did we get dead bodies? And the answer is it's very complicated and a lot of it's unethical.

So pick a direction. Okay. So I really, I didn't even think about this aspect of it. I think it's one thing to find a goat on the road and say, well, we're going to dress this up and take it to the con, you know. But it's a whole other thing to say, grandpa wants to get dissected up at the university or whatever. And I've always been curious about that too. Because when I was in art school and taking art courses, part of my life drawing course was a lot. whole, I wasn't a semester, a quarter, whatever they called it, a unit where we had to go to the University of Utah Medical Center and they would bring out cadavers.

And we, and they would, I can't remember if they let us do much of this. I mean, we did get to go poke around, but basically they'd have people with like flayed open muscle tissue. So you could see structure of muscles. We had to memorize bones, muscles, tissue types, all that stuff. exactly. It felt like a medical class and the whole goal was just to make us more anatomically knowledgeable. So when we were drawing people, we knew what we were doing. And I

remember being fascinated by that. I'd walk in there and the whole place smelled like formaldehyde or whatever. Yeah. They remember they had a vat. I think sure I remember this right. So I'm not just, yeah, it was heads. They had a vat of human heads. Oh, God. Okay. They probably had the

head lab coming up that week. Yeah. I probably did. That's how you prepare it. That is a thing, right? Because you're studying what? Cranial. When you teach the anatomy court, let's dive into how do you get bodies for anatomy?

Let's do that aspect. Right? So, okay, so first of all, if you want to donate your body to science and to something like that, you have to go university by university and, like, contact their program because everyone does it differently. And you should do it before you die, like ahead of time because you have to notarize some papers. So just keep that in mind. It's not a super easy process. I love the idea that you don't do it.

Yeah, you need to do it before you go. But you do it before you die. Yeah. Don't like make your children do it after you're dead because there's a whole thing. But if you do it, then they like select you, right? Because let's say you died of COVID. They maybe don't want the students dissecting the COVID body. So you'll get like selected.

And then they'll preserve you in formaldehyde. So that's done through like injection through all the veins. And that just fixes all the cells in a specific state. it doesn't decompose. And then how we'll teach the course is kind of section by section. So we'll do like limbs. And then the next week is like internal organs. And then the week after might be like head and neck anatomy.

And so we'll kind of as we go dissect out each section and then like cover it back up. And then next week you do neck. And kind of just focus on that as like a module. Okay. So if, how do I put this? What is the commitment of the of the institution? at that point. Like it,

yeah. So they'll, they'll, like, preserve the body. Yeah. And then the dissection will happen. And then once the course is over and the body no longer has uses, which sometimes,

like, I've done something called a pro section, which is a professional dissection. We'll all prepare out something like a spine. Um, and you can keep that for multiple years if you keep it like well saturated in formaldehyde. Um,

to if it's a really good example, like let's say someone has some interesting morphology, like a spinal fusion or something, you can keep that for a long time. By the way, I hope nobody's, eating their breakfast. I forgot to give a warning. Oh, this is making me hungry. Is that weird? Is that weird? Is that weird that I'm actually hungry now?

You know, I always tell my students, eat before dissection class, because if you start feeling hungry while you're dissecting, your brain is a little bit like, uh. Yeah, they'll put you on a list when you do that, I think. Yeah, exactly. But anyway, when you finish dissecting the body, you then can get cremated and they return the ashes to the family. And there's also every year at the beginning of an anatomy class, a big celebration, or kind of like honoring the people who donate their bodies and it's actually really nice. I've been to a few of them and they have candles for everyone and it's it's really respectful actually. So it's it's kind of like an honorable thing to do. Okay. But that is the ethical way to get bodies is when people donate them. And they're what are,

tell me what the, uh, unethical, give me an example of how in a modern time like now. Like I don't, as far as I know, nobody's sneaking around in the woods with some, a body they found in the swamp or you know what I mean? Like there's, there's probably modern, unethical ways to do it. Tell me how that works. Well, yeah. So like back in the day, the, the, Grave robbers would, like, rob graves to get corpses for scientists to do dissections, like once it was legal, but there wasn't enough bodies. They would also use unclaimed bodies. So, like, no one knows who they are and they die.

That happens, not in the U.S. anymore, but a lot of other countries still do that. The Johns and Jane Doze. Yeah, yeah, like Jane Does. And in other countries, they'll also use prisoners. And that's what happened in, have you guys ever been to bodywork? So, wait, you said the pro, you said pro-section. before a prisoner would be a con section. Hey, that's good.

You like that? I came up with that just now on my own. All by myself, Mom. That's really good. Yeah. It's not funny, but it's unethical, but it's good. Like it's a very serious topic. No, no, no, it's good.

Yeah. No, I get it. We're a morbid crew here, so whatever. Yeah. But if anyone's been to like bodyworks or one of the. those. A lot of those bodies are. I've never been to that.

Tell me about, tell me about that, because you have to be very specific about what you donate yourself for for that thing, right? Well, so those are executed Chinese prisoners. I don't know if it's specifically

body worse, but one of them, yeah, when I was post-talking in New York, we all wrote, like, all the anonymous wrote a letter of like, don't go to this because it's unethical. So that was fun. And those are plastinated.

So there's a special technique where you'll like cut slacks, and you kind of through multiple chemical solutions, dip them so that they become almost plastic. And that's how they preserve them for that. Is that pretty much a permanent process? Like that body will never be anything but a stiff plasticy dude. Yeah, it's almost like resin. Except like you couldn't actually just dip it in resin because it would like rot on the inside.

But you know, the people have put like a hot dog in resin. It's kind of that. Oh, really? Oh, I've never even seen that. But yeah, like it would rot from the inside. But yeah. So interesting. I've seen the bodies the.

exhibition or bodies. It came through Denver. And you did get some of that, right? Like you had the plastolined, is that what it was called? Plastinated. Plastinated bodies that had that were like in slices like you described. Then there were others that looked like they were encased in glass slices. And it was that resin slicing kind of thing.

Yeah. That's crazy. And it's a cool exhibit. It's just I don't know, you know, I don't want to slander anyone. There's some of them that are off brand that are unethical. So do you, so, oh, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a T-mov version of that show coming through your town kind of thing. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, you know when there's like an exhibit and it's like the vengo experience that is just like a projector in a room?

It's, I guess it's the equivalent of that. But it's the unethical version. So is it, okay, I always heard that a lot of colleges, maybe even high schools, you have like a science class or a, you know, a biology class or something where there's a skeleton in there that they can refer to and point to and hear the bones and here's your humorous and here's your thing and all that. And that those are often very unethically sourced. Where do you even get that sort of thing?

Yeah, I'm glad you asked that because I was going to talk about human bones. So in something like the Audities Expo, you don't know where those bones are coming from, from the human stuff specifically. That's what I'm always looking at. Human and pet remains are illegal unless like, okay, maybe no one's donating their body to get sold at the Audities Expo. So it's either a historical specimen or bought from a different country. Okay.

The historical specimens are historically unethical. There are certain universities maybe or maybe not the one that I work for that use their archaeological specimens as they're teaching skeletons in the past, meaning Native American skeletons in this specific instance. And there's others that they buy the skeletons from producers in other countries. It's most of the time, India or China. And they don't really tell you where the bodies are from, but someone did some looking into it. And it was also like prisoners. So a lot of the historical ones are prisoners. And that's why people are moving to like plastic replicas, because a lot of those historical ones are unethical.

That being said, they're here now, so like, don't throw them away. Like, okay, they came from a bet. Unless it's an ancestor in that case, you should repatriate it. But if it's like, well, we bought it from a company and it's here. Yeah. Or I found it under my floorboards 50 years ago. And it's still in use. You may still want to, yeah, you may want to close the cold case.

But like you're not going to throw that stuff out or burn it or whatever, right? Or maybe you do. And that's actually what happened for that dissection. And the Audities Expo is that they have. They bought a human body from a, like, third provider, basically. And it was someone who had donated it to science, and it got bought by this, like, company that sells body parts, quote unquote, for science and who sold it to the Audities Expo.

And that person hadn't given their consent for an Expo to get dissected. So that was, like, a big controversy. Yeah, I've never seen that on anyone's driver's license. I hereby bequeath my body to the Audities Expo coming through town. That'd be a weird thing. I mean, I could see some of the weirdos doing it, but that guy specifically hadn't done it. No, no, he did not.

So, all right. So I have a rib bone here somewhere. I wish I had a thought to bring it up. What? Yeah, I have a... Well, it's supposedly human. It was just from a trip to Applebee's. I would love to see it.

Yeah, I don't know where... I'll confirm for you right now. Where it is. I don't know where it is over there. I'd have to dig through all that crap. But it's... I'll find it for the next time we talk. But it basically is supposed to be a ribbone of a person.

And it was supposedly... Is it like this big? Yeah. About that big. big. Okay. That's human size. Yeah, and it's curved like, you know, I don't know.

I don't know what that. For all I know, this is a freaking gorilla bone or a donkey. I have no idea. I have no idea. Gorilla would be problematic. Yeah, that would be bad. Here's the problem. I think I got it at a, like at a garage sale or something.

Somebody just had a stuff and they said, human rib five bucks. I'm like, sweet. Because I was a dumb ass in my 20s and I didn't know any better. Well, I've kept it all these years. So my question is, am I? harboring an unethically obtained probably some dude's rib yeah oh so what do you do

I mean send me a picture and I'll tell you what species it is so okay when I go to garage sales I always look out for the stuff I look out for human bones and I look out for like animal well that's not weird at all but go ahead for sometimes like hey that's that's a game I play like find something dead there's always something dead you look for

you look for tiny things that are super large you look for large things that are super tiny Scott I mean yeah what's the difference exactly And Brian looks for like old Spider-Man. I do. And tiny things if they have records. And spice girls' memorabilia. So, but no one, you don't like walk around to the people and gagwows.

How are you doing? Doing good. Do you have any bodies or unethical? I don't know. I can spot them from a mile away. Okay. I got the eyes. All right.

So yeah, I'll send you a picture of that. In thrift stores. Like, and you can tell when they're real. Honestly, if they're very, very detailed, they're real. because usually the replicas are not as detailed. In that case, honestly, honestly, the right thing to do is either turn it into the police and they'll probably never do anything with it

or like bury it, but like I personally don't feel comfortable having human remains in my collection. Some people are okay with it. It's kind of a personal choice. It's rare that it's ethical. And if you think about the person who donated their body, in this case it probably came from some med student skeleton

that they bought. They probably didn't want like a random collector to have it. So it's kind of like, depends on your ethics. I'm not going to like shame anyone for doing it. I personally wouldn't do it. Oh, I will. Yeah, Brian will do it for you. Brian's got 10 bodies in his basement.

That's right. Yeah, just waiting for them to finally pass out. So, hey, y'all doing over there. You guys all right? So. What have I got myself into? Why? What's I going to say about that?

Oh, you're like a white hat hacker is what you're like. because you're like into the thing. Well, so Whitehead hackers are like hackers that will hack things to then go to the companies they hacked and say, by the way,

you have a serious vulnerability here. I'm letting you know way before anybody else has hacked it. So they're like kind of Robin Hoodie a little bit that way. And that's kind of like you. You're out scoping out garage sales for dead things, but...

Except when I see something and it's human, I go, oh no. I really don't want to end up doing all the paperwork that has to go with that. And the same happens like my partner's an archaeologist, but he specifically is looking for animal bones.

If they happen to find a human bone, you've got to call a lot of people. So we don't want to find the human bones. But when you do find them, you got to, you know, take care of it. You got a lot of goat stuff around, though, right? A lot of goat heads and goat bones and all that. I have a goat skull.

I actually, now that I'm back in Europe, I'm with my European collection because I can't bring that overseas because of regulations and stuff. I got a cat skull in my house over here. Yeah, see, I think if someone busted into your place with that. But that cat signed it. papers before it died. That's right.

Fully, fully aware of the choice it made. Yeah. But no, like if somebody came into your, let me just ask you this. If somebody walked into that today without any context, would you suddenly be, oh,

we got to figure out what's going on? Would you be suspect in some way? I'm good as far as paperwork goes because I know all the laws. So I wouldn't be worried about that. If I'm, I'm also not worried about people being like weirded out because I don't care what people think. I don't know if that was your question.

Well, no. It's easy to say, like, I'm a biologist. The people who are collectors who are not biologists, they have more explaining to do than I do. Yeah. Oh, for sure. Without a doubt. Like this rib, I have some explaining to do. And my explanation is simple.

Honestly, Scott, please find it and send me a picture because I want to make sure it's not human. Yeah. If you come back and sell that's like a Doberman or something, I'll be relieved. I mean, I won't be happy that a dog, you know, all that aside. There's still some barbecue sauce on the side. Is that normal? We decided to use all the buffalo, if you know what I'm saying. All right.

Well, this is fascinating. I barely know much about this world and what it involves. And this doesn't even touch, obviously, on the whole, how are the animals acquired for something like the oddities thing. I mean, animals, it's the same thing. It's like either it's roadkill, in which case, I feel like paperwork-wise, that's the most ethical. Obviously the animals suffered, but like you're recycling at the end of the day. That's how I see it. Most of my collection is roadkill. Or it's like farmed animals and like, I don't know,

like mink or something and you recuperate the bones or you have a deal with with a producer or a hunters or something. And then worst case, it's illegal specimens, which I have also seen at Audit's Expo. And I'm like, I hope you have a permit for this. You're always looking out for anything marine, cat and dog and things from Africa generally are illegal. So if I'm a professor of biology, I run the department at some university, and I really need to have full-blown human skeletons or even animal skeletons. Is it reasonable to just do replicas to just get printed? Boneclones.com. They're my best friend.

Boom, clone. Hold on. Oh, yeah. They have great sales. And this isn't a Star Wars porn site, is it? I'm just making sure it's not. For bone clones. That's right. See, there it is again. That's some comedy for you. Watch up for that one.

I like that. I like that. All right. Oh, yeah, bone clones and I forget the other one. The Bone Museum, I think. They're up in, I'm really bad at American states. But the state that looks like a pot.

I'm going here. Oklahoma. They're expensive, but they're really good quality. Okay, so these are, they look real. So these are all just replicas. These are, like, good for, like, teaching quality. I really like. Look at the size of that short-fing.

Bear skeleton fake that you could buy and there's a little tiny lady. It looks like Colonel Sanders, but I guess. Oh, Bones on, Skeletons Unlimited is the other one. And they're kind of a friend of the tadpole because, I think dreadnecks lives near there. And they have a cat

and his name is Mr. Bones and it's a museum and that place is also great. So if you want recommendations for where to buy your bones. Should I stay away from the site, Brains, Bones, and Beyond? Is that, that one's not as good? Brains, bones, and beyond. If you can buy brains,

I don't know, it starts to get into the unethical territory. A raccoon skull, sorry Bobby Ann, if you're hearing this, is $107. That doesn't seem crazy to me. But that big tall bear one, $21,000. Yeah. Yeah, that's a big skeleton. If you just want a human... Imagine the shipping on that thing.

If you want a human, about $3,000 for a good one. Yeah. The med students generally have to shell out about $3,000 for a nice... It doesn't come with the lady wearing the suit that Randy Deluxe were in her tacking. No, unfortunately not. That's real shame. The Colonel Sanders. Yeah.

Oh, and this saber tooth is cool? How much is this? This is under 400? I could put that on my desk. And those are all ethical because they're just like the resin. They're just resin prints, right? Or resin, not print. If you want real, real bones that are relatively ethical, skulls unlimited is your place to go.

All right. Shout out. I'm into all this. Well, I'm just 3D prints you something. Just let me know what you want. There you go. You can also 3D prints. I love, I'm a big skull guy.

I'm a fan. Well, actually, Brian, for the 3D printing, a lot of museums have high quality scans of a lot of their skeletons. Available online you can download. Oh, yeah. They're like open source. I think even the Smithsonian has a good, like, 3D model resource website. I mean, the only thing I bought at the Audities Expo is this little blue guy. He's just a sculpture.

That's slightly anatomically incorrect. Oh, very much. Yeah, very exaggerated, right? It's a bouncer bit. Sculpture. sculpture. Their name is even punny, Brian. It's a skull of hard rocks. Oh, nice. Yeah. And they carve all their crap out of stone. Anyway, well, Nikki, this has been enlightening and also super fun. And I think you'll do, I think you'll fit the Bobby's size seat just fine for the weeks he's not here.

And it's also a weird time there. Like, what time is it in France? It's like nighttime. It is like 6 p.m., which is like when I'm not usually active, so I'm doing my best. But we're recording technical tea right after this, so I'm, like, hyping myself up. You guys can, like, rate us if you want. Yeah. We're doing our monthly episode, and the theme is tech vampires and science zombies. And you'll just have to go listen to find out what that is. You guys need to check this new show out.

It's fantastic. Tell people where to get the podcast, if you don't mind, like permanently. article t. Show on everything. Nice. Dot show, man. That's awesome. Yeah. You kind of have to do that now. All the URLs are gone. Oh, for sure. Paid it extra for that. Yeah, I know. I hate that. You know what I paid for core. Dot show? I don't want to talk about it. Because I don't make enough. There's not enough revenue from core stuff to justify it. Oh, no, really. Yeah. I don't know why the dot shows are so expensive. It's stupid. And to have a four letter one, I really, I don't know. It's not like there's a country called show that gets.

all the revenue. I know. Not like the TV one. Tuvalu. Yeah. I'd go to a show called the show. I'd go there. I'd visit show.

You'd go to a kind of show called show. Yeah. And I bet they don't, in the country called show, they don't make food on the grand out in the thing. All right. Well, there you go. Hey, Nikki. Thanks for hanging with us. And may France continue to be the beautiful and gorgeous place that it is.

I don't know why I'm saying that. Bye now. She's up. Well done. Well done, everybody. All right. We are going to take our leave. But here's how we're going to do it. We're going to remind you that frogpants.com slash TMS exists. You want to make a song request. You want to do whatever. It doesn't matter what you want to do. It's all there listed, ready for you to click. It's the internet. Damn it. Frogpants.com slash TMS. Use it. And there are a bunch of shows coming up. We got one o'clock today. Me and Carter doing the Monday show. So the other TMS happening then. Please come and join us. and yeah, I think we could raid her and her stuff right after this. Yeah, yeah, let's do that for sure. I should have asked her, is technical T their Twitch account? She's still in chat, so she will be able to tell us. Let's find out real quick.

She says yes. Oh, there it is. They're currently offline, but they will be going here shortly. You've got 15 minutes. Watch for that, everybody. One last thing we've got to do is maybe, I don't know, play music, I guess. Well, okay. How about this one right here?

Jeff wrote in. My name is Jeff. This is Good Day cover master and his sidekick. Nice. Sometime last year, I shared a cover album called Thoughts That Float on a Different Blood by Dustin Kensrew on your TMSPM, Ask Twitter segment. That takes me back.

I'm curious if you ever got around to listening to it, so if you did, could you please play a song of your choice from that album? If you haven't listened to it yet, I recommend the track down there by the train. If you can't do either of those options, you can play a random song of your choice, Africa. I guess. I don't give a shit.

Any day is fine. Thanks, guys. Frog Pants for Life. That's awesome. I love Jim. I don't give a shit. Yeah. It's the best response.

No, I did get that album and it's really good. Covers of Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen, Counting Crows. He does a great cover of Round Here. Miley Cyrus is Wrecking Ball, Radiohead's Creep. Like, it's excellent. Now, the next year, he released more thoughts that float on a different blood.

It was just two songs, and one of those songs, I love so much I'm playing it right now. This is Hide and Seek, the Image in Heap song that you know because it's got all that weird vocal processing, harmony, what you say?

That one. That's great song. That's the one. I always think of that Andy Sandberg parody of some tween TV show where they keep playing it as everybody comes into the room and gets shot. The O.C., that's it. Yeah.

But Andy Sandberg did this great, like parody of that where somebody walks in and goes, oh my God, what have you done? And then that person gets shot. And they goes, what you say? That's great.

I don't think I ever saw that. I should seek it out. Oh, it's really, really funny. Anyway, hearing it done with an acoustic guitar and Dustin's really, you know,

incredible voice, it changes it and turns it into whole different song which is exactly what i like here is hide and seek by dustin kenshruh Thinking, feeling Spin me round again And roll my eyes Can be had to mess With people would stop to hold

Their heads have Tread Sewing machines With less It's called me of this Instead That you only With a court she did
