We just saw a fantastic example of a world leader using the magic of selling to assist our guests. Now let's up to you to make what we just saw reality in every ToysRust location on June 13th when Game Boy Advanced is released. How did you know that was there? It was watching through a crack in the door.

2:11The Morning Stream. He's taking a dump in a can. Hey everybody get out your Shalela's and grab your ladies. It's time for The Morning Stream. I couldn't think of another word to rhyme with Shalela. Yeah, I know because they would say lasses but hold on to your asses and grab your lasses. That's so much better. I didn't. We should have coordinated before but I didn't even think about it. I did no idea. We were gonna be happy saying patty's day everybody. We hope you're having a good one. It's me and Brian. Scott and Brian today on the team. Yes. Here in the morning, doing the news and the weather on the 9s. Dino's all excited. She was gonna make corn, beef and cabbage because that's what she does every every St. Patrick's day. And it's always amazing. Doesn't the crock putt cooks for the whole day and makes the house just smell like a like a pub. Haven't had a Guinness with it. It's like a perfect

3:11thing. But today, no. Today is prep day for the colonoscopy. So jello, clear liquids, gatorade, popsicles, green gatorade, green, which gatorade did she get? I didn't see the I don't know. The bottles are in the fridge but I didn't see what color. Probably, probably green gatorade. Yeah, probably yellow. Yeah. So yeah, I think it's the easiest to have a ton of. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So exactly. It's two different bottles and I know they're two different flavors because they look different. But I couldn't, if you put a gun, I could not tell you what color they were. One of them might be, one of them might be the white gatorade. What is that? Like a snow blind or something? Yeah, it's called. It's got somewhere. It's like barely a flavor name. It's like. Yeah. Yeah. It's more like a condition. Right. Exactly. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Well, that's, you know, you're on your way. You'll get in there a little tiny leprechaun. I'll put a tube up your butt. Everything will be great. It'll be great. Yeah. I tell you,

4:14oh, if we found some lucky sharks, you're lucky. Charms didn't make it all the way through the tunnel. No, I don't think you're going to do great. And of course, this is a thing we should encourage everyone to do. Absolutely. Yep. Get out there. You had it done. If you are around, I think the age they'd say now is 45. If you have, if you have risk factors in your family, start earlier, do it in like 40, I believe is the recommendation. And then get in there and it doesn't hurt a thing. It's really the prep is the pain. But once you're done with that, the actual colonoscopy as long as you're asleep for it. Yeah. Is the best nap you'll ever have. And you don't get doctor early fingers. Exactly. Yes. You'll be okay. What's your, uh, hoody pumpkin cottage book, book vendor. Yeah. Hoody is getting his done today. Right now probably as we speak. Oh, he's in. Right, right. He's not doing prep today. He's in today. He's doing, he's in today. He did prep yesterday and he's, he's doing the thing today. What if that, if there's any risk to drunkenness on the doctor or nurses parts to do it on saying that. I mean, I feel like

5:20it's more worried about a hangover tomorrow morning when they do mine. That's a good point because it's tomorrow. Nerds tonight. They're going to get slaughtered. I think, yeah, I think most people don't really do their heavy drinking on Tuesday night. They do it, you know, the whole Saturday thing I, I did, uh, uh, Uber on Saturday and it was everybody going to a same Patrick's day party. You're going downtown to drink or going to the, we got a great Irish pub over here near us called clansies and they make, man, their shepherds pie is amazing. They're, um, they've got like a Guinness stew. The fish and chips are, are fantastically. It's all really, really good. That sounds awesome. And it ain't like clansies. It better be because they're going all in on that. Yes. Maybe I should not be talking about good food. Let's talk about anything else right now. Well, uh, yeah, no more food. Today we talk about things that aren't food. Uh, for example, we have our Oscar winners in our Oscar pool. Yay. Um, let's see if we can give, can we give people a, I don't want to give them a

6:21little noise here. Let's see. Uh, I don't think I have that one. Wait me to. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, gosh dang it. We're something good. I want something that's like, here we go. That's dumb. All right. Great. Okay. They get a quarter. They get a quarter. Congratulations. Pac-Man is now ready to play. Um, you guys, uh, you guys did well. It turns out we had a five way tie. Excuse me, four way tie. Four way tie. I don't know why I said five. Um, oh, I know why, because Randy's in this tie, but I'm not, he's not getting a prize. He doesn't, he's an ineligible. Yeah. He's part of staff. He can't win. They need any more than if I had a tied here, I'm not going to win. So we're giving it to the four who did. Now, I don't want to surprise anybody and shock anyone. But our Las Vegas book expert gambler man, uh, Mitt Zula, Chris Minton, uh, uh, was one of our winners. He, um, he knows how to call him, man. He doesn't know how to call him. I think, uh, you know, he might have an inside edge, not obviously not unknown who the

7:26Oscars are going to, but all those betting sites, you kind of, if you take a look at who, which, which, um, choices are getting the most votes, it probably helps a lot. Yeah, I assume he's got trusted sources. He probably has methods to this madness. I haven't talked to him about it. You had to kind of want to just kind of take his brain. Yeah. I'm curious. Yeah. Be curious to see if he did it just completely from his own picks or if he looked at any like, well, the odds makers are saying it's going to be one battle after another. And this is going to go to, you know, del Toro and this is going to go to hamnet and blah, blah, blah. Sure. Uh, and it looks like they all did 19 out of 24 answers. Correct. Um, that's the, that's the high mark. Nobody aced it. Um, I don't, nobody could have with that tie. I guess we still could have given it to him. But I mean, it depends on if you give somebody, if they pick, um, one of the two that won, they still get a point, right? Or do they get half a point because it's a split? I'm checking right now. They get how all that,

8:28how all that works. They, as it set up now, because we didn't really anticipate it, they got a point if they picked one, if they picked either one of either one of the winners. Yeah. Yeah. So that actually probably, I think it improves one of those for this. I think so too. And uh, um, those live action short live action. Yep. Yeah. Um, the fact that, uh, Jane Austen's period drama didn't get the, uh, it wasn't out one of the two is, is so disappointing. But, but two people exchanging saliva still absolutely go check it out. If you see only one live action short, make it that one. If you see two at the Jane Austen one in there because they're both great, really, really clever. I do have one thing to say about the title you mentioned earlier. Yes. To people exchanging saliva. Yeah. It's this right here. Gross. That's gross. I was going to, either it is both of those, both of those words that it's a disgusting title. And I'm not saying, I realize it's probably like, you know, a million titles that are a vocative of something,

9:30but it's not really a point. Sure. And right. So what's, what's great about it is that it's the, the movie is a dystopian future where kissing is outlawed. So people walk around, um, eating onions before they can, they're able to walk into a shopping mall. They have to breathe in this guy's face and he has to smell to make sure that they don't have good breaths so that they, um, they, they kiss that, that scene right there. I thought of you as soon as I saw, I was like, Oh, this is, yeah, Scott would not, this is Scott would not do all with this scene, but I don't like it at all. No, sir. But it's, uh, that's really, it's really good. It's really cleverly done too. Uh, I'll, I'll end up seeing that one. But, um, yeah, anyway, let's give, uh, let's give a shout out to these guys Trevor. Uh, I'm not going to say his last name. It's in his email, but he didn't list it. So I don't know how to respect it. Uh, Trevor, Paul Jarnigan. Uh, Paul Jarnigan. Uh, perfect. He went. He feels, feels right. Yeah. Sounds Irish. Uh, Mitt Zula, as I mentioned earlier, uh, I guess I said his full name earlier, but

10:32the mic rule, uh, yeah, the mic rule, he knows him. Yeah, everybody knows that guy. And Brian bed, bad, hard, but hard. Is it, you could be bedard? I think brain, bedard. Yeah. Oh, I like bedard. It's kind of fun to say, Brian, bedard, brain, bedard. He's being author. This book was from Brian, but that's selling author, Brian, but with a name like bedard, it has to be good. That's right. Uh, anyway, these guys are going to get some form of prize. What that is yet, I don't know I'm still working on awesome. How, uh, in a year, we had a two way tie during the Oscars, we had a four way tie, uh, for the Oscar pool unprecedented in the history of our Oscar pool, which really is this year. Uh, well, we had one last year for film, Zach, the, uh, we did. We just didn't do any kind of like data analysis or we didn't award anybody with anything. And I really, these are fun to do it this way. It makes me actually more into the thing when I, when I, when I know that a bunch of us are doing this friendly, you know, it's probably why if I actually

11:35took the time, I'd probably like to get back into like fantasy football or something one, sometime. Oh, really? Oh, good luck with that. That's, uh, I don't love the real hardcore stuff. Well, I'd like doing the like, Hey, I think this team will win this week. Yeah. And then just see if they won this week. That, that one I'll do. The pick and pulls great fine. I'll do those. I'm not going to fantasy football. It's way too much maintenance. March, man, that's the brackets are out. You can do that. If you're ready, it should start something. Scott, do, uh, do March madness, uh, bracket, are any of my Utah teams in there? Get BYU or Utah on there? Do we know? Um, let me take a look. I have, I have not even looked. I got an invitation to do, uh, to do a bracket from, um, a guy who's, who always pulls me into the team or into the, I don't know if I'm going to do it this year. Uh, let's say it's always just, yeah, BYU is, uh, BYU is, um, okay, yes, quit giving me ads. Uh, BYU is, uh, is over here on the right. Um, what about, uh,

12:38what Utah State or what, uh, either Utah State or Utah, just Utah University or, uh, doubt UV use there. I don't see. Or Southern tech or whatever they call it now, used to be Dixie. They're not in there. Um, nope. I don't see Utah anywhere else in here. Damn it. We had potential. I went to a game. Oh, there it is. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Utah State. I'm here playing against playing against Villanova, but, um, oh, well, then goodbye Utah State. You know what? That's an eight nine. That, that is one that I would usually pick the upset. I'd usually pick the, I pick the nines and I pick the 12's beaten the five sometimes. So maybe that's where my head goes. Yeah. But I have a, you, it looks like they must be a, um, because they're not playing against anybody in the first round. They're an automatic buy into the, that can't be right. I think they must be playing against, um, uh, they must be playing against a winner of the second bracket or not second bracket, but like a, uh, a wild card team or something.

13:41I don't know how any of that actually works. I don't either. I don't know. I know people are excited about it though. In fact, when we go, Kim and I are going to go to our, our local, uh, place called the break when they, every year, they do a big St. Patrick's Day thing. There's a backpipe player there. And they specifically Irish backpipes, uh, as opposed to the Scottish. I guess there's a difference. I couldn't. I had no idea there was, I had no idea where I was back Irish backpipes. Well, they told us this last time they went, yep, there's a very, just the, the guy had like a little presentation. Uh, most people think, they think of the Scottish when they, and they went, and he says, but really the Irish other ones, I, I, I, I, and I still, I kind of don't remember most of the origin story, but there was something there about the Irish and the Scottish always kind of shared this history. Anyway, um, point is, uh, we're going to do that. And then they'll probably have all the TVs will be basketball. That's what it'll be sure. Sure. Sure. I'm going to walk in there and it's going to be squeaky floors. And yeah, I mean, it won't be, it won't be part of March

14:43madness because the first round starts, uh, Friday. Oh, no, uh, Thursday. Oh, well, then I'm good. So it might be, it might be NBA, NBA is still, you know, their plan. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. Poorly in some teams cases. Yep. Uh, well, anyway, guys, congratulations. Thanks for taking part. And everybody else you did too. There were a few real close ones, but those were our top four. You all tied for first place. Congratulations. And we'll definitely do this again. Yes. We'll figure out a tiebreaker question too. Like, um, yeah, typical one is what time will the telecast end, um, but there's got to be something more fun. Like how many times will, um, uh, well, some word get mentioned or, or some, some funny, some funny thing, right? Did I miss that? So there was talk or rumors or whatever that Will Smith was presenting. Did I miss that? Did he do that? No, he didn't present. I, I actually thought I saw thing from Google news. I didn't follow the link, but, uh, that he was, even though he was there last year,

15:48he was not allowed to come to this year's ceremony. Oh, really? Yeah. But I didn't follow the link to see because it's usually like, uh, blah, blah, blah, blah, you know, headline to get you to go read the story. And then the story really isn't that. Yeah. So I don't know if he really was, or if he just chose not to or, or if somebody named Oscar asked him not to come to the, uh, yeah, I, I, I don't know. I don't know what to, uh, I thought I don't know why I was, I was, I saw something that said he was going to be there and it was a big deal because when was the punch or the slap was 2021, I think? Right. And so it's been a while. So maybe you was like, the, the, the memorandum for how long you have to get grounded for whatever he was going to get up. I don't know exactly. Like they always have that thing where the last year's winner of the acting categories comes out and does the, the, uh, nominations for nominees for the current year. Right. So cheering Colton came out and didn't give the award to Sean Penn, uh, which was,

16:52I like he's got it. Uh, Sean Penn can be here. Didn't want to be here. Turns out he's in Ukraine this week. Yeah. He's actually doing, you know, he's, he's, he's got a Terry and stuff. Yeah. He's hardcore about that stuff and he wants to do that stuff. And, and some of it is a little extreme, but I respect that. He thinks it's more important than him getting the award. You know what? That's kind of cool. School Hollywood. These guys, these Mavericks in the 70s and 60s, where they're like, I'm taking your award. I'm pissed about what you did to the Native Americans and that deal or whatever. And they don't show up or they have the lady tagging for him. Like I kind of miss those. I do like those. Yeah. Those, uh, those egregious moments, uh, who is it? Michael, um, who is the, uh, bullying for Columbine director, Michael, Michael Moore. More. Yes. Uh, his whole thing shame on you, Mr. President, shame on you. Like, yeah, you'd have about 30 presenters doing that. Some of that stuff, I usually get pretty cringey. But once in a while, I, I feel like

17:55someone's being genuine about their thing. Yeah. And in his case, it was just like, I'm busy. I got, I got shit to do. And yeah, well done. Good for him. Yeah. And secretly, I walk that way and I talk that way now. And that's just me talking. Uh, he, uh, by the way, I don't want to say he will Smith. He's got a 10 year ban. And so this is year four of his 10 year ban. Oh my gosh. Yeah. So he's not, we won't see him back at the Oscars potentially until 2032. We got a mention from, uh, Michael B Jordan. He did. Yeah. Yeah. Like talking about the people we came before him. And, you know, he deserves to be on that list. 100%. He does. He does. Yeah. He's also a great actor. He also should not have slapped Chris Rock. He, he definitely should not have. Yeah. Is well watching the, um, the previous season of Fargo with Chris Rock and thinking, man, that Chris Rock would have just taken it. He will Smith out. Yeah. That version of the mob boss Chris Rock. The mob boss Chris Rock without even flinching. Yeah. That would have been a done

18:55deal. Yeah. Funny. Uh, by the way, chat results on the pole. Let's just share these real quick. Oh, yeah. Uh, punch or pinch, pinch winning by a landslide. 90% 10% punch. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't, I don't, I think that's normal. I think 10% of you, the only three people, uh, have ever done the punch for, for not wearing green. Yeah. I think that just says that, uh, you know, three of you are very violent and maybe you should look into that. Yeah. You were coming to Nurtacular. Just let us know. Um, well, uh, it's right. Yes. We might, we might have you staying your room for a little bit. Uh, you know, or we tell everyone to wear green. I'll bring this tape. Right. Everybody can put a, right. It's like we'll be wearing like AIDS ribbons or something. Yeah. Yeah. Well, a towel. Perfectly normal thing to do. Yes. All right. You guys, it is time for some news. Later on, we got Amy coming on. Got a book to recommend and all that fun stuff while Cody's getting his, his plumbing checked. Uh, we would be checking his website for

19:56a book that Amy's going to recommend. So that'll be fun. Stick around for that. But in the meantime, the news. It's brought to you by, brought to you by a brand new episode of sound geography. It went up today. Hamid and I will listen to the entire library of Nickelback. We listen to every single album, every single song. What did we think? You might be able to guess, but you might be surprised, but you probably won't be. Uh, what did we think? It was into, uh, the current episode of soundography at soundography.com. If nothing else, it was a lot of fun to record that episode and talk about how, um, I described Nickelback. You know, uh, when the holidays come around, um, and Pillsbury puts out their, like, their tube of Christmas cookies. It's kind of like the tube of chocolate chip cookies. Yeah. But they're Christmas cookies. They're sugar cookies. And they've got a little pattern inside. So when you cut the pattern, like you put them in the oven, it's like, oh, it's got a star or it's got a Christmas tree or

20:58whatever. Sure. Um, my experience with each song on the Nickelback album was basically like cutting another same looking cookie that had the same thing inside and did not change. Eight albums or ever many, I mean, that feels, that sounds right. That, that's a good comparison. I did you, well, I don't want to spoil anything, but did you come away at least going? It's not like this stuff is terrible. It's just, it's just repeating and it's repeating. They don't, they're very form, they were very formulaic. They followed, um, a very consistent pattern. And if you like the pattern, if you like one of those songs, you chances are you like all of their songs. But, um, the, the, um, yeah, they never really ventured out with anything like, you know, let's try and do something really different on this song or let's do this. And, um, they just kind of like said, all right, we start with this. We do this, then a verse, then a chorus, then a bridge, then a chorus. And, um, yeah, it wasn't, it wasn't enough different. Now, I did

22:04manage to find and include in my, my end of episode playlist, a cover that they did of Captain and Daniel's level keep us together. Oh my gosh. Um, which they recorded for, um, Triple J in Australia and it was great. It actually is really good. It's acoustic. Did they ever say, look at this photograph during this one? They don't know. Yes. Uh, well, that's cool. Look for that. Soundography dot com soundography dot com spill it just like it's like, like it sounds. Yep. Let's get to this camel pageant story. I've been holding on to this for a couple of days. Yeah. There was a camel pageant and it was thrown into pure chaos after 20 competitors in the camel pageant, a pageant for camels if I haven't made that clear. Uh-huh. We're disqualified for using hump plumping injectables. This, I, first thing I had to look down and see if this was an onion article because this feels like it would be an onion article. 100%. This is one of the few times where I did, I did some extra digging to make sure that somebody wasn't going to go,

23:09you guys, this is parody thing. Yeah. But it's the independent for Hellsakes. And it's also, I looked it all up. It's a tradition. They've been doing these forever. Uh, and they really get, they really matters like they get graded on their lovely camel humps. Yeah. They're lovely camel humps. And if you are caught, hump plumping, uh-huh, which is an amazing term. It is. It feels like what's the song? Oh, it was, uh, was it, uh, Sloan was the band? You hobo hump and snow, uh, it sounds like a, a lot of sluric to it. It wasn't Sloan. What was the name of that band? Uh, hobo humping. You know, I know this one. I can't, I can't think of the Sloan. I forgot. Well, well, well. Yes. Sloan. That's a girl I dated in high school. A data girl. You did a Sloan. Yeah. She was nice. Yeah. Yeah. A sheet. It's an unfriend. It just feels like an unfortunate name. Yeah. I don't, I don't like the name

24:11is bothersome. But for whatever reason, she wore it well. It's hard to explain what I mean by that. Just, you know, some people match their names really well. Yeah. Yeah. She matched it. I don't know what that means, but she did. Interesting. Um, every Rachel I've ever met fits the name. Oh, interesting. Yeah. I've never met a Rachel that didn't seem like a Rachel. That's even true. Like Rachel McCatum. She looks like a Rachel to me. She doesn't look like a Rachel. Yeah. I like her. Mm-hmm. That's the most ADHD thing I've done today. We've gone from camel plumping to talking about a woman named Rachel. I love that hump. It's not hump pumping. Good. That's what I would have called it. I like hump pumping better. But that's, that's, uh, I mean, that feels like it's a bridge too far calling it hump pumping. Yeah. Says their owners enhance their humps and other features with injectable fillers, silicone wax and Botox. Poor camels, man. Wow. Oh, they probably can't feel. They're just big bags of water.

25:12Yeah. And they just go. Oh, yeah. It's fat. Fat. It's not really like water sacks. It's like fat. But the sound coming out of count. Yeah. Yeah. When we were kids, we were led to believe by the cartoons that those two humps were full. They were just water tanks like hot water bottles. Basically, yes. Yeah. Like they had a tap somewhere. You just put your little cup to or something. I'm thirsty. Yeah. Cartines taught me everything I know. Yes. And all of it's true. Last month, veterinary inspectors of the 2026 Camel Beauty Show festival in Al Moussanani Oman. I'm sure I got that first part wrong. I don't even know where you got some of the letters. Busana. Is it just mousana? Yeah. There's no, there's no letter there that would give an e-cell. Yeah. I think I threw an L in there. Just fun, too. You might have moussanani. Moussanani Oman discovered that the camel's an underground several cosmetic procedures to enlarge the size of their humps using a mix of injectables similar to dermal fillers that human Jews like on their lips and their chins and cheeks and stuff. Yeah. According to, I didn't realize it's like

26:16the same stuff. Anyway, according to vice and Forbes, that's a great combo. Vice and Forbes. Because vice and Forbes is an accident. Yeah. Call a vice and Forbes. Vice and Forbes. Well, we should fight for you. It sounds less like a like a law firm and more like an 80s cop buddy cop drama TV show. Vice and Forbes Friday on NBC. That's right. The disqualified camels have received a mix of injectables. They mentioned a bunch of these again. They keep talking about the injectables. Botox to soften their faces, silicone wax to inflate their humps. Hydraul or high, sorry, high or hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid. Anyway, injected for their pouty lips. You know, because when you think of camels, you think of their pouty lips. Exactly. Dear, dear pet house farm. So these guys, festival organizers have said they are working to halt all acts of tampering and deception and the beautification of animals

27:18or camels out in that they would impose strict penalties on manipulators going forward. Camels are judged on four key features. Their coat, their neck, and their humps. And don't forget head. Oh, yeah, and their head. Sorry. Let's get their head. Their head. Head and humps. It feels like we're dangerously close to my neck, my coat, my head and my house. All right, how do two questions? Number one, do, do bacteria and camels have an advantage just because of the extra hump? Like do they? Oh, interesting. Are they graded separately than the, than the dromedaries? Like do they have, you know, well, here's our dromedary evening gown collection. Then here's our bacteria and maybe they do. Yeah, but the more important question is, how do you figure out that they're injecting stuff? It's, you know, these things are covered with fur. And you're, are you looking for like, like, uh, holes,

28:21like, uh, like little pocket, like, like, uh, like, right. Exactly. And they do this recently when they did that, the White House photo shoot for time or whatever it was and the close-ups were like super detailed and kind of grody. And one of them was what sort of name spokesman, the press secretary and she had little tiny pricks all around her left. Oh, really? I don't think that might be a signer. Yeah. So I think you get, I think when you get those, when those show up, it had pricks around her mouth. You heard it here, folks. That'll go over well. Uh, tiny, it's important to mention tiny pricks around her. Tiny pricks. Yes, exactly. But I don't know, White House is filled with tiny pricks. That's right. So the, they're, uh, GD said, baby, blood test, Kelly one, three days in ultrasound. Um, yeah, I, you know, that's the, oh, and, uh, Arabs don't use bacteria and camels only dramataries. So only the single, single humbers, they're, uh, very strict. Who's got the double humbers? Who, who uses those? Nobody? Are they made up? Somebody has to use them. They, they've got to be used. They exist, right? They're

29:25real. Yeah. Of course. Uh, let's see, I'm trying to find who uses, I just found some, says, judges of the event now use advanced technology to uncover tampering with camels all contestants are first led into a hall where their external appearance and movements are examined by specialists before they undergo x-ray and other tests of their heads, necks and torsos. So some kind of, not far off from what someone chats suggested with, uh, ultrasound, but, you know, imaging technology to look through to see what's going on. Um, basically, yeah, basically hum praise. There you go. My favorite, uh, sex fish. Yes. Um, um, praise. Oh, man, those, those things won't stop. Let's see. Uh, here's a, here's a, here's a final story before we pull Amy in. Okay, sounds good. Uh, Tara, car, tarot card tiktokker. Uh-huh. Must pay $10 million to a professor she accused in Moscow murders. So it's kind of a twisted story, but a jury in Boise, this is up there in Idaho, right? Uh-huh. But this is part of our hat up where I live. Uh-huh.

30:27Awarded 10 Utah's hat, uh, awarded 10 million in damages on Friday to a university of Idaho professor who sued Texas, a Texas woman for defaming over a fabricated claim she repeatedly made on social media. The, the academic was responsible for the Moscow college student murders. Uh, she was doing it with tarot card. That's how she was accusing him. I think that shit should be freaking out. I mean, it should be. Well, at least, you know, like, I guess this sort of thing happens. So this is good. You know, I mean, yeah, exactly. Tarot card saying, oh, you're going to meet the love of your life, uh, in three months, be ready or, uh, might be time to make a change in your career or whatever. The, you know, the, the basically the placating bullshit that tarot card, sorry, sorry to those folks who really into them and, and, and believe in the cups and the swords and the, whatever the other two. I mean, I'm in the making. I have it. It's not done. But I'm going to eventually print and make frog pants themed tarot cards. Oh, really? But I'm not doing them for the mumbo jumbo. Some people

31:31think these cards have in them. Yes. I'm doing them because they're cool. It's a fun way to do art. Like they love the, you know, the art nouveau style of tarot cards. Super cool. I love. They're awesome. I'm a big art nouveau fan. I love Falls Mucha. Oh, yeah. My favorite, uh, art nouveau artist. But, um, but to come up with the accusation that somebody murdered college students using tarot cards, like, well, let's see. Oh, I've drawn college student and, oh, murder and I know. What? I know. Exactly. Yeah. So he's getting $10 million. Although this person, there's no way this person has $10 million. Oh, well, I mean, I don't know how well her TikTok is going probably not well enough to pay $10 million. Probably not. But yeah. So who knows if you'll even get much of that, but still beware if you're a, if you're a mumbo jumbo salesman. Yeah. It's all for shit. I don't know. Yeah. Ember, we won't laugh at you if you bring them. And

32:33Sasnick brings up a very good point. Tarot is more useful as gaining a different perspective on stuff that is weighing on you than being something that necessarily predicts anything. All the, all like the real tarot card readings that I've seen and there's like, um, there's, there's a woman that does it at the, um, Renaissance festival who's like a real genuine, you know, not just dressed up as like, um, pirate lady doing tarot card reads. But, um, but her, her, her, um, method is 90% asking you questions and 10% flipping cards. And it's more about like, almost like a therapy session that actually has props. Yeah. There, there's fun to be had. No doubt. Yeah. You can enjoy it. You can have there's probably some therapeutic stuff, all that stuff. But anybody that's claiming me that the cards are telling you anything, right? Even if you're my best friend, I don't, I'm still telling you that's horseshit. Yeah. Yeah. Guys, come on.

33:33Their cards. We need to do some frog pants dice coming as well. Oh, that sounds good. Actually, yeah. No, it's like at that. My, my mother-in-law, uh, Restressoul just passed away. Uh, most of my marriage would just hound on this fact. If we had playing cards anywhere in the house, I just mean a regular deck of poker cards. Yeah. Yeah. She'd lose her mind. And the reason she does that is way back in the 70s, a religious leader she looked up to got up during a speaking thing and said, playing cards are close to tarot cards and tarot cards are of the devil or something. And she just never would let that go. So we're playing like, like flapjack or slapjack and, you know, she's, yeah, go fish and she's losing her mind over it. She never got over that. Just the hardest thing for her to deal with. And it's just like their cards, their paper. Exactly. They can't tell you anything like, uh, you know, reading tea leaves or, um, uh, the only, the only thing I feel like there's,

34:35that's in this realm that there's kind of a basis to is astrological symbols only because, um, well, and I want to preface this because I do sound. I'm already hearing that it sounds kind of crazy, but like different times you are being born different times of year and being affected by different, um, uh, different, you know, temperatures and climates and moon phases and things like that. I feel like it's, there's a little bit more to that, but I'm not, but you're reading a horoscope is bullshit. Yeah. Like if I, if I get headaches, if I get headaches in a certain time of year where the, there's a high pressure system and I live in the 1600s, I'm probably going, why does the Lord punish me this time of the year? You know what I mean? But really, it's just some scientific reason that I'm just a little sensitive to the freaking high pressure. But the way bio cow, but he'd said, like in one sense, he, he phrased it so much better than I have. It's societal.

35:39Having a birthday in winter versus summer. Yeah. Exactly. Like those sorts of things, you'll become, you'll, you'll have different, um, different things will affect you in life based on. All right. Yeah. I have a summer birthday. I'm, you know, we do part, I'm a part of year, but oh, no, we have one in winter. So I'm used to kind of staying inside and on, on that sort of thing. But, but because you're a Leo, it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to have more success with money or, uh, because you're a Virgo, you've, you know, you're a better lover or whatever. So, yeah. Yeah. And so it's like taking, you know, fortune cookie seriously. He just can't. Right. Exactly. He can't do it. Yes. Guys, I'll tell you what we can do. We can do this. If I can find my way here, here we go. One of the things that I enjoy also is reading. Well, well, well, look who it is. If it isn't Amy Robinson here to tell us what we should be reading. Amy, welcome back to the show. Oh, good morning, friends. How are you? Good, good. You? How are you?

36:44That's an important question. You doing all right? Yeah. I am. I do it just fine. Fantastic. I'm trying to join this here video call here. Please do. So, so the things we should be reading are not tarot cards. Is what you're talking? Yeah. Well, okay. So yeah, I was listening. And I actually want to weigh in on that because I do. I like what you all said that it's, it's like therapy with, uh, with props. So, you know, there, I, I feel like there's value in, you know, looking at a card and thinking about the insight that it gives you into yourself. And, you know, and I mean, I don't think there's like any mystical forces behind it or anything. But I think it's, I think it can be useful. How much is it? How much about it is like dealing, uh, the rant, the RNG for like, here's a gamer, a gamer term applied to it. But if you pull, you pull up a car and go, oh, here's the death card. You know what I mean? Like how much does that play into it overall? I know it does in some cases, which are the cases I'm irritated with, which is

37:47like, oh, no, that means you're going to die. But, but is it, how much is that randomness play into the more therapeutic thinking around it? You know what I mean? I don't know. Sure. Yeah, I mean, I'll give you, I'll give you an example. So like, there's somebody that, uh, you know, I'm, I'm friends with on TikTok and she does like a live thing or whatever. She says, oh, you know, if you do my little daily heart, me, I'll pull a tarot card for you or whatever. And there was one day where I had like, uh, this is not different from any other day with me. But I had like a pile of creative projects that I was not doing for various reasons. And she pulled a particular card. I, this will show you how not knowledgeable about this I am. I don't remember which card it was. September could probably tell you. But like, I, you know, I, she pulled a card that was essentially meant to like, you know, it had like, uh, creativity kind of thing to it and whatnot. And it was like, basically, the message was like, hey, that thing you are afraid of

38:51trying to do. Like go do it, you know, and it was kind of like what, what I wanted, what I needed to hear in that moment. I was like, that's, that's really cool. Like, yeah, and you know, I will get to work on that thing that I've been afraid to do. But again, like, I don't feel like it was like the universe telling me a thing. I think it was just that was what my brain wanted to interpret about that. And like you said, like, it's like therapy with props. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think the, right. And I think that's kind of the astrology thing too. It's less about like reading the horoscope and saying, oh, today's your gonna be your lucky day. It's more about saying, oh, you know, this, this, um, grouping of the planets or time of year says that I'm a fire sign. What about me is, is, you know, is heated and looking at that introspectively as opposed to saying, I'm only angry and hot because I'm a fire sign because I was born this summer. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Like what part of my personality is, is represented there? What can I,

39:55what can I glean? What kind of insight can I glean about myself? Sure. Sure. And I glean from that. You know, I think that's where that's where it has, has, has value. Introspection is a good thing no matter who you are. I heard an interview the other day with, uh, Mark Andreessen. He's kind of an A-hole, but he's the billionaire, uh, net's, net scape founder. And now he's like all VC and money investment. He's a billionaire. Anyway, kind of a, kind of a douchebag. This doesn't change that. But he says, someone in the, in the interview asked him, how do you, how much introspection do you do? Meaning, you know, it's somebody in your position with wheels, great power and money and blah, blah, blah. What, what's your form of yours? Oh, I don't believe in introspection. That's a made up modern term that people use, uh, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, look in, we're to gotta look out. We're always look outward. And I was like, meaning I'm a douchebag and I don't want somebody to hold up near to me that I'm a douchebag. And thus, I'm fine. Can't any of the, the technology, man, Steve Jobs got ahead of right by getting out early.

41:01I really did. He died, but, you know, didn't want to get out. Pretty, you know, that's hard way to get out. Was it really, was it really, was it really a choice? Exactly. But I mean, like, you turn, you get a lot of money and you turn into a whack-a-doo. Yeah. I mean, you become, you become unable to, to, to truly distinguish from reality. And you say and do the weirdest things. Yeah. Unless you're Keanu Reeves. And then that's true. I mean, seriously, like, I'm, I'm not being funny. Like, it's, he, he is from all accounts that I've seen, like, super kind, generous, down-to-earth dude. Yeah. Yeah. Like, it's just super famous. What I ended up happening, you got to go full billionaire, I think, before you really lose it. But they also want to go full billionaire so they get full pedophile protections. You have to get, right? And that's, that's the thing is like, in order to go full billionaire, like, there's no way Keanu Reeves will ever do that because he doesn't want that, right? Like, like, he could. He certainly probably could. I don't, I don't know. There's probably a path for him. It's a per,

42:04per, per, per movie or whatever. And I don't know what his investments look like, blah, blah, blah, blah. But I mean, he could do that. Yeah. But, you know, he doesn't want to. Like, my, my favorite example of that is as Hank and John Green, you know, they have, they were like on the YouTube train very early and, you know, and have thus like, launch themselves into, you know, nerdy stardom. And, you know, and they, I mean, they're millionaires, you know, and I mean, John is obviously an award-winning author and his books get made into movies now and blah, blah, blah, all that kind of stuff. But now all the projects that they do are 100% non-profit, you know, like, they just do projects because they get excited to do projects. And they're like, I have enough money. Like, I, I don't need, I don't need to amass giant. They live in like, you know, Indianapolis and Hank lives in like Missoula, Montana. Right? Like, they're like, I don't need, you know, and they drive like a Prius or something. You know what I mean? Like, they're just, they're like, I don't need to amass

43:08like giant piles of money. I would rather leave the world better than I found it. And to me, I'm like, they're, they're doing it right. You know, I'm like, I, and I hope like, if I ever, I don't think I ever will. But I, if I ever, you know, just suddenly came into like a huge windfall of, of money or whatever I like to think that I would, I would be like them. Yeah, I would hope so. But then maybe just maybe I'd get all jacked like Bezos and, and I get, I'd get a mostly, a mostly made of rubber, new wife, you know, now the good news about that is, the good news about that is his ex wife has, is the richest woman in the world or something or in the country at least. And she gives so much money away. Super philanthropy, the philanthropist philanthropist. I'd be like Richard Branson, like, you know, the flying around a lot on a jet, but kind of just

44:11get involved with music and, and not being all except for the, except for the Epstein Island stuff. But yes. Oh, was he, was he another one? Yeah, he was definitely there. I went there. If you're a bill, if you're a billionaire, the chances that you went through those things are higher than the chances that Brian will fail his prep for his colonoscopy tomorrow. Oh, yeah. And I was going to say like, oh, man, like, how all condolences to you today, you'll get through it. I just, I feel for you today because I know exactly what you mean. Like, I hate, I hate both parts of it. I hate both the butt eating and the drinking of the disgusting drink. Yeah. And if I could do the disgusting drink in one go, I think it would be fine because like, as opposed to every half hour of drinking, yeah, yeah. First half of it, I don't have a problem with. It's the, it's the, get up in the middle of the night when you're already like shitting your brains out, you know, like, and having to drink more of it, you know, it's like,

45:16oh, God. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I really, I know what we need. Here's what we need. We need them to come up with a new plan. The new plan is this. You put me to sleep anyway. So just put me to sleep. I'll go in. I'll lay down. You put me to sleep. Yeah. Hook me up to a power hose while I'm asleep. Yeah. Dyson. Yeah. Jiggle of Dyson up. Yeah. Just fire it all out of there. Do the, do the thing. I wake up and Bob, your uncle, you're done. So you've got a nice shining beam. Yeah. For the whole 24 hours, basically, kind of thing. Yeah. Just keep me under. Yeah. Okay. I'm fine with it. As long as I don't have to experience anything, any part of this awake. Man, you could even do it like you take the same, you know, like pill or whatever in your case or whatever, you know, to just take the, the Uber, you know, super colon blow or whatever, but then they put you to sleep and then just let your colon do its thing. Yeah. You know, and just like you say, just hook it up to a Dyson or whatever. Just suck it all out.

46:18Yeah. Just do it all by colligar. Let's all poop in boxes and ship it off to somebody else to look at it. And then like, oh, there might be a problem. Then we'll do the actual full-on camera. Yeah. Yeah. I got given one of those kids ones and the nurse who gave it to me was like playing in the dirt again. And I was like, oh, oh, oh. Oh my gosh. I hate that. Oh, that's awesome. I think next time somebody has a birthday, I'm going to make him a chocolate cake and give it to him in a colon guard or colligard box. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cause right. Yeah. It's indeed right. Well, my poor kid, you know, he's got ulcerative colitis. So he has to have a colonoscopy like every year. Oh, geez. Yeah. Yeah. And he's 21. Yeah. He has to have 10 colon oscopies in the amount of time that I can take a break before my next one. That makes me feel bad that he has to do. And he's like I said, he's 21. So like he started and he started doing this when he was 19. Yeah. Yeah. But all life, he's got like, actually, he knows just every year, he's

47:19got to go in and ulcerative ulcerative colitis is a mean, that is a mean bastard that condition is terrible. It is. It's really not nice. What's the cause I know that's one of the things that there's a fun song and commercial for what's the, uh, what's the, the product that, uh, yeah, stilara is the stilara that he's on. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's a, it's a biologic. And I mean, it works really well. Like it, you know, he, he's, he's fully in, excuse me, fully in remission as far as I know. So it's working. That's fantastic. Yeah. It's expensive as all hell, but it works really well. But then the, the, uh, the colonoscopy is just, they're, they're there because that's a condition that can cause all other risks, right? So you got to go. Oh, yeah. Oh, for sure. Right. All right. Well, now we'll read a book. What do you think of that? Yes. Yeah. I mean, like while we're talking about toilet stuff, you may as well have a book to read. Let's do it. Let's do it. What'd you bring this week? Tell you any setup for this clip before I play it? Um, not really. I, uh, you know, it's, uh, it's women's history month. So I picked a female author and it's a book

48:24about, uh, about women. So there you go. Let's, uh, let's play it. Here we go. The pit was full of bones and her hands were full of wires. Her fingers bled where the wire ends cut her. She picked up a bone along thin one from the legs and wrapped the ends with wire. Perhaps she might have built a man out of bones, but she had no great love of men any longer dogs though. Dogs were always true. Now, as she sat in the pit of bones, the skeleton cradled against her chest twitched. Whispered Mara into the skulls openings. Boundog, stone dog, black dog, white dog. She bent back over the bone dog again, fingers moving on the wires, hoping to finish her task before darkness fell. The bone dog came alive at dusk. It was not quite completed, but it was close. She was bent over the left front paw when the skulls jaws yawned open and it stretched as if waking from a

49:26long slumber. Hush, she told it. I'm nearly done. It sat up. It's mouth opened and the ghost of a wet tongue touched her face like fog. She scratched the skull where the base of the ears would be. Her nails made a soft scraping sound on the pale surface. The bone dog wagged its tail, its pelvis, and most of its spine with delight. Said still, she told it, picking up the front paw. Said and let me finish. Boundog. I need to call it shower. I missed half of what she said because with that voice. I'll be in my bunk. Yeah, I like it. I was a very nice read. Who is that? She does have a sultry voice, doesn't she? Hold on. I'm looking at it. You know, you think I would learn. Maybe it's the other link. I know it's not the author, but I always have the information about the book ready and then I forget to bring up the information about the narrator,

50:31which shame on me. Shame on me. I look to the mayor of Jasper. Amara. Amara. Amara. Amara. Yeah. Jasper. Jasper. With a you, right? On the Jasper. No, with an EJSP. JSPR. Oh, here she is. I found her. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know this person. She did. Yeah. Where is it? The dark waters? No, no, no. I read a I think that actually that might be it. There's a book called Dark Waters. It's oh, there it is. Is that her? No. Oh, yeah, that's her. That's why I know that voice. She did marry dark waters. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. She's got a good voice. She's got a good voice. Let's focus on her voice for longer. Anyway, how is this book? You can do that if you listen to this book. So yeah, the book is called Nettle and Bone and it's by T King Fisher. And it's, it's funny that we started by

51:37talking about how you know, tarot cards and whatnot or a bunch of who we, and then I give you a book that's like all fantasy of magic and stuff. Love fantasy and magic. They just aren't claiming to be, you know, religiously real to real. Yeah. Exactly. So this is this book is really fantastic. I really, really enjoyed it. And if you if you look at the blurb for it, you can and if you know me, you know why you thought I loved it. But after years of seeing her sister suffer at the hands of an abusive prince, Mara, the shy, convent raised third born daughter has finally realized that no one is coming to their rescue except for Mara herself. So basically yeah, she's, she's seen one of her sisters get killed by this prince and then they, you know, in order to continue to honor the, you know, the agreement, the the treaty between their kingdoms, they marry off their second daughter to him. And you know, it quickly becomes really obvious that he is abusing her.

52:40And so Mara runs away to go live in a convent and then she befriends what's called a dust wife, which is basically a grave witch, someone who's, who's, you know, a witch who's very skilled at dealing with the dead and things like that. And so she befriends her. And also there's like a demon possessed chicken, which is hilarious. You know, I mean, come on, you can't ask for anything more than that really. Like you got a reluctant fairy godmother, a strapping former knight and a chicken possessed by a demon. Like it's, you know, what, what more do you need? So it's, it's a really, it's a really great fun story. You know, it's, it's very much a hero's journey. And you know, and it's kind of like the reluctant hero, you know, she's always been this very shy, reserved, kind of girl, you know, very unassuming. And then all of a sudden, you know, so much importance

53:41is placed on her, you know, to kind of save her family. So, sounds great. Yeah, it's a great story. My daughter had this, it's familiar to me in that way. Taylor, I think, Reddit. So I also just love the idea that, you know, she builds a dog out of bones and then brings it to life. And I mean, can't you just see from her description there, like, can't you just like see this dog made of bones, like, and like, hear the, I can hear the, the, the clicking sound of the bones while it's wagging its tail, you know, I mean, and like the fact that she could feel its ghost tongue, you know, even though there's obviously no tongue there, you know, it's just bones. But, uh, yeah, and I love the bone dog. The bone dog is just, he's great. Um, in, in, in there in that first chapter, like she talks about how, uh, it's rare that it's, it's rare to find a person who is actually deserving of a live dog, you know, so, um, and I, I feel like that's true. It's like, yeah, we,

54:44you know, some people are really great people, but man, we don't deserve dogs, because dogs are great. Dogs are wonderful. Dogs are the best. Very true. Yes. I don't want to live in a world of that dogs. Right. Exactly. Exactly. Even my, that's how I got these dogs that I have right now is because we had found out that I was allergic. And so, you know, Chuck and I were planning on our last dogs being our, our last dogs, uh, because I allergic. And so it was like, okay, well, we just won't have dogs anymore. And then COVID happened. And we were in our house all the time. And try to live in a house without a dog in it when you've lived literally your entire life with a dog. You know, you've, you've never, ever, ever lived your whole life without a dog in your house. Yeah. And uh, it just doesn't feel right. It's like, no, this is wrong. I, I don't, whatever. I'll just take Zartek forever. Like, I need it. I need dogs. Like, I need a dog. You know, just do a little intravenous bag of Zartek over your head all the time and

55:44yeah, I mean, you know, just take one every day. It's fine. It's fine. Well, there you go. So yeah, I, I totally recommend it. It's a quick read. Honestly, like the audio book is only like nine hours. So, you know, it's, it's a quick read. And you need to, there you go. Nine hours of your sultry, uh, umara jasper voice, you know, would you use nothing wrong with that? Would you say these fits into that category of, um, what do they call it? Uh, I'll shoot my daughter told me the name. It's like fantasy. Yes. Or yes. I, I wouldn't really. There's, there's not a lot of romance in this. Um, I, you know, there's like, there's a little bit, cause like I said, they, they come in contact with a former night. Um, so there's a little bit of like a, you, you kind of maybe ship two characters a little bit, you know, while you're reading it, but I definitely would not call it a romanticie at all. Okay. There's, it's, it's not, that's, that's not its focus. It's more of like, you know how like frozen kind of surprised everybody. It was like, oh, well, like the act of true

56:48love was actually between these two sisters. Yeah. It's like that. Oh, it's more, it's not like, ain't about like finding a prince. It's more about killing a prince, really. Um, so yeah. All right. Make sense. I think this sounds like a good pick. And you can get it on the Pumpkin Cottage website. Uh, the link is long and gnarly. So I'm not going to give you that. But if you go search the Pumpkin Cottage dot com, sorry. Yeah. Pumpkin Cottage dot com. No dot org. You could, you could just go to quick TMS dot L.I. Better to do that. That's the easiest way to do it. If you're already on the website, that's linked there as well. So just go get it and help out our friends over there who's, you know, currently having a colonoscopy himself. That's right. Right. Yeah. And they're actually in the process of like upgrading their space. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So yeah, I think I think you said that like the week of Nertacular, uh, they're going to, like the week after that, they're moving into their larger space. Yep. Wow. Just down the road,

57:49I think not too far, but still that's a big. Yeah. Yeah. So we ever try to, you ever try to move a giant bunch of books around? That's a huge pain. They're freaking heavy. Yeah. Like, yeah, books are like, you have to package them in like little boxes because they're heavy. Yeah. If you try to pack them in a big box, you can't, you know, you need a dolly to move them. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Right. Uh, well, there you have it. I have a question for you guys. Do either of you guys wear progressive lenses? Uh, Brian does. Right outside. Oh, wait. Progressive is in the split view. Uh, yeah. Yeah. Almost like bifocally, but, uh, yeah. These right here, I'm not wearing them right now, but I just got these yesterday. Yeah. And like, this is my first pair ever, you know, and like, I, I feel like I'm like, I don't know, man, I feel, I feel like I'm in a fish bowl. So you don't have the, you don't have the little cut. It's literally a transition one, right? Where you can. Yeah. Okay. So the way it works is my understanding. This is very, very brief understanding of how these works. I just got them. But basically, what mine are,

58:49they were designed to be computers prescription for my distance, right? And if I'm looking at the computer like this straight on, it's super sharp and everything's cool. And if I glance down at my keyboard without moving my head, it is also clear because these, the lower part, that's the focused distance. So that's how it's supposed to be. So we're used to moving our head around a lot, I think. And for me, the way to get used to it was just kind of, it's more of a glance down thing, unless of a movement. Okay. So that might help you. But you're still probably going to, it's going to take a little longer to use them. Yeah. It's just very weird. It's like, okay, I, I, I mean, I asked for it. So I mean, my, my vision is not bad at all. Like I've, you know, I've just got the, the push in 50, you know, presbyopia, as they say. And, you know, so I had gotten to the point where I have my readers, you know, it'll be sitting there. If I'm, if I'm playing on my phone or I'm looking at a crochet pattern or whatever while we're watching TV, I had to like wear my glasses.

59:50Yes. I do that. Yeah. If I'm, if I'm doing the dear times crossword puzzle while we're watching TV, it's glasses down here. Like readers down here. Oh, yeah. With your face, like those, yeah. Yeah. And like, my daughter's making fun of me. Like, why are you wearing your glasses? Like that? I'm like, so that I can see. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They don't understand. They get looks like like burying bullshit. But when they get older, they'll understand they just not there yet. Yeah. Yeah. So I thought maybe the precursors might, might help with that somewhat because then, you know, I've still got like, I can look out at a distance without everything being blurry because I'm wearing my readers or whatever. Oh, you know what? That's actually a good question is if you may, if you're upper prescription that's the high transition is for distance and your lower is for close up, that's probably a little more to get used to because you've got a bigger, bigger transition. Yeah. Because my distance vision is great. Like I have, I have no, no, almost no prescription at all for distance. And so it's just like, it's just the close-up,

1:00:51you know, it's, I've got the, you know, the, the over 40, my arms aren't long enough disease. And so, you know, that we all, we all get there. Yeah. But anyway, yeah. So I just wanted to ask about that. Like, is this a shared experience or do I need to go back and be like, um, something is wrong? But I think it's just me. I just, I think I just need to take some time to get used to it. Need to get used to it. Yeah. And it might be, you might have to actually actually have to have Chuck just hold your head steady. So you're used to like moving your eyes up and down and not moving your head to, to look at stuff. Like here, come put my head in a place. Just come hold my head for a while, Chuck. Yeah. Yeah. Not a problem, right? Peace cake. Hold my head, Chuck. Make that, make that into a title, somebody. Hold my head, Chuck. Whoa. Hold my head, Chuck. Whoa. You know, that's really funny, actually, because you know, like a thing that you use to hold things like either in like a wood shop or in pottery is called a Chuck. So like, that's, that's actually really, I love that you, the Chuck is also helping make pottery. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Chuck has to use a Chuck. That's great. All the time. Yeah. Like he's like, his name gets

1:01:55bandied around all the time. And somebody's like, Oh, just go get a Chuck. Yeah, go get a Chuck. And he's like, not me. Yeah. Don't use Chuck. Get a Chuck. Well, it's I know I know I'm out of time, but Brian mentioned this earlier. I think I appreciate it. But I, yeah, I think it is time. Let's go. Let's announce this thing for sure. For sure. It's time, my friends. All right. Yes. So Brian and myself and TV's Travis and Phil Keating have taken on. Sorry. I was like, Oh, suddenly, I'm hearing myself. Well, I killed your video, but I want to bring it back for the announcement. And so I had Oh, no, it's so you're good. Yeah. Yeah. It's all good. So yeah, we have taken on the challenge of watching Lost all the way through again. And we're doing a podcast where we go episode by episode and discuss it. And the fun part of this is that Brian and I have both seen Lost, a couple of it. In my case, twice in Brian's case, more than twice. Yeah. This is my sense of watching. Yeah. Right. Yeah. And Travis and Phil have never seen it.

1:03:01Except, except Travis somehow watched the final episode, right? Because his dad was saying, well, we're going to watch Lost, which episode? Oh, the final one. Okay. But he doesn't, he doesn't remember. He was like, I have no idea what he doesn't remember it. And he doesn't, I mean, he wouldn't, right? Because there was no context at all. And for those of you who've seen Lost, you know, like, there's no way that would make any sense to anyone. So yeah, he's going to be completely fine. So the name of the podcast is Lost Luggage. And we are going to be launching that probably later this week of, you know, watch the watch the space. We'll throw out links and whatnot. But episode zero will be, we'll be out so that we can get the iTunes approval. But the website is LostLuggageShow.com. There's only artwork there for right now. There's no links for anything, obviously, but I'm pleased with the artwork. So yeah, it's great. It's good. It's a good time. And yeah, it's completely my fault that it's taken us this long. No, I won't bore you

1:04:03with the technical, technical details of it. But yeah, it's been a, been a little bit of a journey to get this off the ground, so to speak. So yeah, so we're very excited about that. So everybody go listen to Lost Luggage when it comes out. Nice. Get in there. Get that done. Amy, I was good talking to you. Hope you have a fantastic rest of your time till we talk to you again. There was something else I was going to say I forgot what it is. Oh, we're looking at Amy coming in and attacking. Of course, very excited for us. Yeah, super excited about that. Yes. Help themselves. And I will both be there. We'll be, we'll be helping and doing doing things and whatnot. Like Carter and I've been talking about the merch booths and stuff like that. So it's all, it's all going to be super fun. It's going to be a great time. Go get your tickets now at frogpants.com. We'll see you soon. Okay. Right on. Right on. Brian, that brings us to the end of our broadcast day. Yes, it does. Our broadcast morning. Exactly. I go right for this to do another broadcast. Yeah, another show without and maybe just get a little jello before you

1:05:06end. Just a little something to keep you going. A little energy. You know, I'm a little more, I'm more, I don't be worried. I feel bad that you have to starve all day. That's all. You know, it's, it's, if it's something that I have to do, I don't get, I just, I just feel like it's, yep, have to do this. I don't, don't, don't get angry about it. Don't get happy about it. I just do it. Yeah. But if it's something where I feel like I have a choice, then it's like, oh, man, why do I have to do this? I get that way leading up to it. And then on the day, it's like, well, I'm doing it. So, yeah, exactly the time. I mean, stopping. Nope. But we'll be back on Thursday. There is no show tomorrow. Brian's getting his colon done. I'm going to be really the right way to say that is it. Check. I will be, we're going to, I'm taking it to do some family stuff. We got a big funeral this weekend again. So we're, we're trying to pack all of the weekend in between now and Saturday. So we're going to take the day or the morning and the rest of the broadcast day should be unaffected, which would only,

1:06:07I guess that's just play retro tomorrow night. Yeah. There will be a watch retro tonight.

Oh, yeah, that's right. So today, the Monday on a Tuesday. Yeah. I wrote it in here. And I still didn't say,

1:07:10oh, you did. I didn't even see that. That's hilarious. I was asking you because people in the chat were asking. No, I'm glad you brought it up. We're doing the Monday show today. Same time as usual 1 p.m. But on a Tuesday, uh, Carter night are doing that today. Today's a little much more clear. So you should know the lays that I'm aware of. So there you go.

It's starting to settle in. Uh, the lunacy is happening. Um, there's been a great series of surf music albums called Beyond the Sea. It's beyond the sea further beyond the sea considerably further beyond the sea. I can't remember what the other ones have been, but it's like every, every few, few years, you get these really great surf bands working on these compilations of covers of songs that, uh, that sound amazing surf rock. And if you don't believe me, listen to this. This is a band called the surf

1:08:14rockets. And, uh, from the 2009 further beyond the sea, so volume two, taking on the backstreet boys, I want it that way.
