Uranus Missouri...'nuff said.
It's the Damn Beaver Podcast. Hello.
unknownHello.
SPEAKER_02Hello, everybody. Hi. Thank you for listening. We had a couple listeners. I had somebody listen that I had no idea listened.
SPEAKER_04Ah, who admitted to that?
SPEAKER_02So uh uh nobody admitted to that.
SPEAKER_04No.
SPEAKER_02Amber, the one we did a plug about two weeks ago for Amber's uh the uh Shakespeare Company, Madison Shakespeare Company. Oh, we didn't know. And uh she she uh yeah yeah I I didn't remember that either. Okay if I go uh but uh I I do dinner detective with her. So she's very uh she's directing a uh uh Shakespearean boot nanny here. No, and I said I said everything incorrectly. So she corrected me. Uh which is her forte. If you knew Amber, she likes to uh I'm like I'm kinda easygoing about it, but you know, boy, she wanted me to get that right. Like, you know, like the world was listening, you know, like like they cared. And I I hadn't I had no idea she so it is the Madison uh Shakespeare Company, uh unlike the reduced Shakespeare company that I just got done uh with. Yeah, yeah. So she's uh that's in town. Check your uh local listings for that. Uh but I I hear it's very good. And they're pretty spot on with it. So Shakespeare. That's yeah. We're talking about uh we're talking about um roller coasters this summer. I was going on with Six Flags. We gotta get together and do that again. Again, we gotta do it once.
SPEAKER_00I'm sure I'll be excluded from that as well.
SPEAKER_02You said you don't like roller coasters, so don't that doesn't mean I don't want to go and have fun.
SPEAKER_00I can do other shit besides going to roller coaster.
SPEAKER_02You know, they closed uh some of this, a lot of stuff. They they used to have more shows at Six Flags. Like there was more stuff, and there's just maybe two shows and we were we were there. Like like there was a drummer thing, and then there was of course the trolley, and then I got to meet Bugs Bunny and uh Debbie. They're doing well and look very good for their age. I mean, they're doing isn't that something? How about uh and they travel because there's a Mickey or not a Mickey, but a St.
SPEAKER_04What's there's a title thing?
SPEAKER_02There's a Bugs Bunny in in here, and then he goes to St. Louis and there's a Bugs Bunny in the St. Louis six flags as well. Did you guys know that?
SPEAKER_04And he looks the same.
SPEAKER_02He must he travels, he must they must time that so that they can get there in time. You know what I mean? I mean they must they must work pretty hard.
SPEAKER_04Do they have multiple costumes at like they do at Disney World or something?
SPEAKER_02What are you what are you saying?
SPEAKER_04Well, I mean, if uh are there is there a twin Bugs Bunny? I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_02I don't know what you mean. There's no there's no costumes.
SPEAKER_04Right, no, that's true.
SPEAKER_02So is the real Bugs Bunny, right?
SPEAKER_00There they are. You're right. Jeez Rick.
SPEAKER_02Thank you.
SPEAKER_00Thanks for killing that.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, right. But uh he didn't kill anything. No, no, that's it.
SPEAKER_04It's been a while since I've been there.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but there's just one Mickey Mouse and it's all in the city. Mickey Mouse?
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_02He travels back and forth, and there's also one Bugs Bunny that travels back forth. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I see. Interesting.
SPEAKER_02That's how it is.
SPEAKER_00They go from Florida to California.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Yeah. And then they have trivia now.
SPEAKER_00I'm sure there's a tunnel.
SPEAKER_02They're gonna start doing trivia, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Well, yeah, of course.
SPEAKER_02They're gonna start doing trivia at the uh what is that, the uh sugar river pizza?
SPEAKER_00Oh, is that like a continuous thing?
SPEAKER_02I I think they're gonna try it. We'll try to do it once a month. It's hard for all of us to get there. I mean, that that group of people was covered a lot of bases. Good pizza? Yeah, people were there for fun and we were there for uh cash and blood. I mean, we really they they missed one point on our thing when they scored at the half, and then Mary walked up there and uh and uh we were tied for first place, and then Mary walked up there, mm-mm, 61, not 60. And she showed him and he had it like all right if they take it seriously, it's a big deal. Well, we did well.
SPEAKER_04We didn't do very well.
SPEAKER_02Sounds like I So I wanted to talk real quick. There's this one place I found out uh called uh Uranus uh it's called Uranus uh Missouri. No, no, Missouri. Yeah, Missouri and uh I want to get a t-shirt from here because apparently they make fudge and uh that's their that's their big thing, and they really poke fun at themselves as well. Uh there's a place called the Fudge. Alright, who had their phone on? For the love of God.
SPEAKER_04I would never fudge, turn that thing down.
SPEAKER_02For God's sakes. There's a place called Uranus, Missouri, and it's they got a fudge museum. It's a sideshow museum, and it says uh the Fudge Uranus uh factory here. Uh it's called the Fudge Factory at Uranus. Uh it's around the corner. Around the corner where fudge is made on uh 66. They have t-shirts here, and I want to now I want to go to this place, but apparently they really have fun with this. Uh they have a shirt that says uh the the best fudge comes from Uranus. So that's that's what I want. And uh when you ask them uh to send you a shirt, they said they'll be happy more than to they'd pack that for us as well as some fudge. They would pack some fudge for us to send us out to it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Boy, they've got this completely marketed, right?
SPEAKER_02So they pack it tight so it doesn't move around. That's correct. That's correct. And then they have a Uranus zoological park. Uh and then they're zoological? Yeah, I don't know. Uh and it's for some reason it's just the behind the camera guy didn't do a very good job of getting it.
SPEAKER_04So like all of the animals are facing away from the camera.
SPEAKER_02They're all facing away from the camera. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Uranus? Right. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And then there's gonna be another one. Uh they're having another Uranus, apparently in uh Indiana, which is gonna be the number two Uranus of Missouri.
SPEAKER_04The number two.
SPEAKER_02That's what they said. That's the second one. But isn't that clever?
SPEAKER_04That is clever.
SPEAKER_02To take to take a childhood uh silliness and make it into cash.
SPEAKER_00I mean Is it childhood silliness? Talking about packing fudge. It's just that's what it says.
SPEAKER_02Um listen, you market your fudge.
SPEAKER_00Let's see a boy thing.
SPEAKER_02And then they'll market their boy though.
SPEAKER_00So you pack each other's fudge? Oh, all right.
SPEAKER_02Well, I can see Amy's angry.
SPEAKER_00I'm not angry. I just have questions.
SPEAKER_02I think we're gonna move on. We're gonna move on. I've been doing so much, I've been doing so much history, I decided to do the future.
SPEAKER_05Oh, future. Future.
SPEAKER_02Oh, wow. I'm really intrigued. These are concepts uh that may be possible in the future based on current technology that is out there. Are you ready? Oh, yeah. Scientists are in the process of building nanobots. Everybody knows about those that can manipulate and build things at an atomic level. An atomic level, Rick. That's incredible. Do you know what that is, Rick? That's small. It's tiny. It's very tiny. Amy, tiny.
SPEAKER_00Like Ant Man.
SPEAKER_02Thank you. They are used current. They are used currently in transfer uh cancer treatment. I knew about that. Medical imaging. Uh, I did not know about that. Oh, and I did not know, but that's my world. And sensing devices. Uh scientists believe they can replicate themselves, enhance human performance, and miniaturize space missions with their capabilities. What superpower would you go with? You only get one.
SPEAKER_00You only get one?
SPEAKER_02You only get one. God, that's that's that's a toss-up between flight and invisibility.
SPEAKER_04I was gonna say flight would be big. That would be a big one.
SPEAKER_00But then you have to be a strength, though.
SPEAKER_02Like that's a good one, too.
SPEAKER_04That's really good.
SPEAKER_00God, I guess you can punch through walls, you could be able to do it. Breathing underwater.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, you could beat up Aquaman. That'd be nice. It'd be cool, right? It'd be fun, but you can just talk to the animals.
SPEAKER_00Flying would be awesome. That's true.
SPEAKER_02That's true. If you flew, you could travel, you wouldn't need a car, right?
SPEAKER_04Now, could you travel out of space too? Because I want the whole thing.
SPEAKER_02No, because you can't you can only because if you can fly, that means you have the current body you have right now and flying. So you'd need to. Right.
SPEAKER_04It's not even fun.
SPEAKER_02I'm telling you, I'm my rules I make.
SPEAKER_04I want to fly to Mars.
SPEAKER_02Well, then I'm Nanotechnology is considered one of the most powerful too is a lot of information. No, I'm gonna ask, what do you think, Rick? Yeah, it can be encoded into a mini-school that pay uh see that uh along way to technological developments. The idea of self-replicating nanobots, wow, I didn't know that, was mentioned by Eric Drexler. These machines will be able to build an atom by atom and can pull it, they can pull stuff out of soil, water, even air. Because if it's miniature shape, that would be perfect. Oh my god, that would be cool. So what are they replicating?
SPEAKER_00So they're gonna replace everything.
SPEAKER_02Did you see the everybody? But they could also make weapons with it.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, that's the problem. Can they replicate themselves?
SPEAKER_02That's what it's saying.
SPEAKER_04They can replicate themselves. So it'll replicate. Didn't they say that the danger of replicating robots is what's going to end humanity?
SPEAKER_00Like iRobot.
SPEAKER_02There's a there's a uh did you guys see the latest uh that's scary uh James Bond one, the last one?
SPEAKER_04I have not yet.
SPEAKER_02I did. Well, on there, they use this type of thing as a weapon. Really? And the thing is, they set it up and use the DNA sequencing so that it only kills that specific person in the entire world. So, for example, if I get it on myself and then I put it on somebody else, this thing, the nanobots travel and you don't have to be in the area, it just eventually will kill them because there's this one thing that can kill that person. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04And that's possible.
SPEAKER_02I mean, yeah, pretty cool. Rick, floating cities with ultramodern amenities. Remember, we talked about this? They have a little thing down at St. Pete's Beach where they start a little park that's out on the ocean and they anchor the stuff. Has been a dream since the 1960s when architects began drawing uh up floating cities to deal with the increasing population. The UN has given the green flag to a habitation, it was a habitation program for a 4.5-acre floating island that can house 300 people.
SPEAKER_04Floating. Now, we're not talking about water, floating water, we're talking floating.
SPEAKER_02We're talking floating on the water in the ocean.
SPEAKER_04Oh, in the ocean. Okay. I thought you were talking about floating in the ocean.
SPEAKER_02At sea.
SPEAKER_04Uh floating city like a boat.
SPEAKER_02Made on stilts.
SPEAKER_04Right.
SPEAKER_02By 2050, the uh world's population will read uh will reach 9.7 billion. Oh. Uh well, COVID probably sent that back. Yeah. Uh with the increasing sea levels and climate change, so it's gonna be like water world now. With a dislocating number of people, has made floating cities a credible alternative.
SPEAKER_04Oh that would be interesting, but uh how much does it cost to get on there?
SPEAKER_02That's the thing. I don't know.
SPEAKER_00I'm sure certain people get to be on certain floating cities. Or would they even want to be?
SPEAKER_04You know, they got proof of that.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_02Did you hear it? Bit Bezos has got this uh this uh this uh huge yacht that was like does he? It's like it's they had to take down a bridge or something to get his thing. Yeah, and then but he paid for it to be built but out of cash, probably. That's kind of like up years money almost. I mean, it's oh yes, that is number three culture. Yeah, speaking of uranus, uh cultured meat, also known as vitro. Nice is being developed cultured meat uh is being developed to compete with plant-based uh diets and real meat consumers.
SPEAKER_05Huh.
SPEAKER_02With the growing population and climate change, these lab-grown meats are the future of reliable and sustainable food. I doubt it. Research is still required. I doubt it. Just dead animal flesh is my guess. Research is still required to optimize the cell structure to develop alternatives for all different breeds available. But unlike conventional meat, cultured meat will be a healthier and safer meat. Uh, the impact of cultured meat will reduce the land and use of livestock fine and reduce greenhouse emissions, which I'm also for. So yeah, right. All right. Scientists at MIT are working on recording a person's dreams.
SPEAKER_04Oh, God, no.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. And even guiding How are they gonna record your dreams? And guiding the dreams with a wearable device for controlled experimentation of dream content.
SPEAKER_00They're not gonna be able to read your dreams. I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_02Total recall, here it comes. More studies are being done on interacting with a dreaming brain and manipulating it.
SPEAKER_00Of course, manipulating it.
SPEAKER_02It will be eventually help to enhance creativity and learning in an individual. Well, for me, it would just be, you know, a way to see a lot of women in bikini's proud. I was just saying, don't they don't they already have that?
SPEAKER_04It's like porn or something.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I I'm not sure that that's maybe not. Researchers are developing a device that can help uh them to study how dreams work, uh, affect emotion, creativity, memory. The sleep tracking device can help the wearer to be guided towards dreams by feeding them information around an idea that's total recall.
SPEAKER_00So that their dreams to get told what you're gonna dream, then it's not a dream.
SPEAKER_02I think it would be fun. But the information they will be fed during the stages of sleep or they can hear audio while they are sleeping in a deep sleep. No interesting Amy's so Amy's again.
SPEAKER_00I just want to keep my dreams to myself.
SPEAKER_02Fine. Don't you want to see, you know.
SPEAKER_00No, I know what they are. But I don't want someone manipulating them.
SPEAKER_02But I mean, just be cool to me, you know. Uh what's your guy?
SPEAKER_00I mean, I dream in full color, full size.
SPEAKER_02Keanu Reeves. Really?
SPEAKER_00I mean dreams of Keanu Reeves.
SPEAKER_02You could have uh here we go. It's true. You could control that.
SPEAKER_00You can set up, hey, here's a restaurant, and then you can just control Keanu on those goggles and like laying in a recliner.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02No, I don't think it's okay. It could scientists. Uh let's see. No Keanu for you. Researchers, here we go. Here's more mind stuff, are working on a concept called mind uploading, which is a theoretical, so this one isn't even close, futuristic approach to scanning the physical structure of the brain to create a digital copy of our mental state into a computer. No, no, that's cool. Wow, the brain then will be able to memorize the brain will then be able to process and respond as a as a sentient human brain. Now that's scary.
SPEAKER_04That's scary.
SPEAKER_02That's uh okay. Scientists believe that building an artificial brain is not far away. The futuristic concept is aimed to create the same of one's mental state. Mind uploading could be done by two methods copy and upload, or copy and delete. They're developing equipment that can scan and mop the brain's salient features. Oh, okay. So computer intelligence will have capability to think much faster. So it'll be like data.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah. But then if you get too close to certain things, oh, we're just gonna shut that off.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Right.
SPEAKER_00And then you don't remember.
unknownYeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Clearly, we wouldn't go for that. Medical field is currently researching the future of organ transplantation, which I knew through the field of regenerative medicines by growing organs from scratch.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Science, I've seen they've done that with ears on mice. I've seen that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Scientists have also far achieved uh generating collections of tissues that have properties similar to organs and are working towards making fully functional organs from patients' stem cells. Replicating organs through regenerated medicine. That's cool. That's good. But not much on there, but that's pretty much nuclear fusion. Here we go. Oh, geez.
SPEAKER_04Now we're getting energy.
SPEAKER_02Has for the longest time been thought of as energy of the future and an infinite source of power. But ways to achieve this temperature setting and economic feasibility of the process are still underway. It's been going on for a long time. If successful by 2060, how old will we be in 2060? I'll be 28. How about you guys?
SPEAKER_00You're gonna be 28?
SPEAKER_02I think so. Lucky. I think if I'm asking that.
SPEAKER_00But I'm gonna be like eight. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Wow. You age well. If successful by 2060, 1% of the world's energy demand can be covered. Wow, that's a lot.
SPEAKER_03That is a lot.
SPEAKER_02The fossil fuels left on Earth can only be relied on for a few more years, and the human race's research is reaching a point to where we require a new alternative for energy. I think we can all hear that on the radio just a bit more.
SPEAKER_00Hydroelectric.
SPEAKER_02Every day.
SPEAKER_00The guy who made the hydro like he could make a car run on water.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And he disappeared.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I heard about that too. A carbon-free form of new energy source is required to maintain the needs of the growing population. Clearly. Yep. Number eight, space mining.
SPEAKER_00Are we doing that already?
SPEAKER_02For meeting fossil fuel demands has been talked about in uh recent years with this resource depletion on Earth, of course. The water ice from Jupiter can be harvested uh for utilization of materials required for thermal management, propellant, radiation shielding, and can lead to huge reduction in costs. Well, except for the trip there. And the initial trips are good. I have a feeling that we won't uh opportunity to choose where our taxes go. Uh the Earth is facing major depletion of fossil fuels due to they have a lot of words here, but it's basically due to us. Yeah, right. Yeah. In order for humans to sustain economically and sustainability, this practice should be brought in the years to come. Number nine, the effects. Oh, here we go. Here's a good one. Uh alterations, uh, effects of alterations on DNA so that part of genes do not get expressed is called uh epigenetics. That means so that they take out, I think, didn't they have something about the Down syndrome thing too where they could take that out? And that was a big controversy. One of the extra kind of yeah, that's a big uh talk. Something like that. Is that a chromosome thing? Yeah, extra chromosome, yeah. It is external DNA modifications that are reversible but change the structure of the DNA. It is a chemical cap for preventing the genes from expressing certain traits. The discovery of epigenetics is still a process, and they're trying to find out new uses of the technology. Uh so the study can help fight diseases from the gene level generations so that the cells can be completely wiped out. Experiments, so in other words, if you have uh heart disease or something, maybe something like that, experiments on animals show that DNA two uh external factors affect the next four generations. Okay. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Right.
SPEAKER_02All right. Turn that around. On the last one, the shock wave that is created by detonating a nuclear warhead at the back of your star. Oh, what is this? The shock wave that is created by detonation at the back of your starship? Oh, so it's assuming we have starships. We have starships? It's studied to help nuclear pulse nuclear pulse propulsion. Oh, okay. The technology has been banned in the U.S. as part of a partial test ban treaty. Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_00What is happening?
SPEAKER_02What happened there? Uh it says a study was conducted in the 50s and 60s to use an uh atomic bomb at the back of your starship for propelling the ship using the technique of nuclear pulse propulsion. The Russian explosives experts put forth the idea in 1881. Jesus. Wow, really? God, which led to real-life propulsion systems in 1946. Oh my god, we could have had Star Trek back then. Project Orion was one of the several projects focusing on this technique. Pulse rocket propulsion is a very promising application of the theory. Such pulse propelling rockets are planned to be used on interplanetary missions. You try saying that.
SPEAKER_00Interplanetary.
SPEAKER_02Oh, oh, nailed it on a first try. Ooh. Ooh. What? And back. But such repeating blasting can cause serious side effects. Scientists are still working on theoretical solutions. Like for the people on the ship. And that's the future, folks. It's coming.
SPEAKER_04Hey.
SPEAKER_02How do you like those potatoes?
SPEAKER_04I think some of that's already that shape.
SPEAKER_02Hard. That wasn't a hard end.
SPEAKER_00In Uranus.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. All right. Which is a city in Missouri, everybody. Amy does. You know, so far we haven't threatened any dangers on the because we haven't said anything super awful yet, but let's we haven't gotten to Amy yet. Here we go. Yep.
unknownWhat?
SPEAKER_05I haven't done it. Damn.
SPEAKER_00She's on fire.
SPEAKER_02I know. You haven't said shit yet, so we're fine.
SPEAKER_00Now Dan can check the box. So have you ever been at work and somebody was stupid and wrecked it for everyone?
SPEAKER_02Yes. You mean whatever thing?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, some they did something dumb and then wrecked it for everyone, so then no one could do it. Oh yes. Oh yes. What did you have, Rick?
SPEAKER_04I had somebody who was uh because we we punch in on our phones now.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_04I had somebody punching in from like a city away and saying, Yeah, it was just you know, yeah it must have been off. It's GPS related. It's gonna be a block off, not twenty five miles.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_04At home.
SPEAKER_00Nice.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. So that was that was cool. Gone by the wayside.
SPEAKER_00Dan, did you?
SPEAKER_02Uh yes, we had uh, but mine has to deal with uh drug testing. Oh. So I can't say so. Somebody did something. And now I gotta do it with the because I do x-ray and drug testing on myself. Let's just say we got down to the P of the matter. So next to the fudge? Yes. Oh god. Somebody uh was trying to cut some corners and we had to fix that.
SPEAKER_00Oh, geez. All right. So we'll stop there. Okay. Well, there's a couple things out there that have ruined it for lots of people. The first one I think a lot of people got ruined is when uh they now do not allow people putting their genitalia on the copy machines anymore.
SPEAKER_02Right.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Somebody wrecked that.
SPEAKER_02By the way, the first time I saw that was in Scrooge. Where she took a picture of her Heine and got on there. I'm like, go pass it around. I'm willing to bet that's where everybody else got it. I'm willing to bet. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Why can't you do that anymore?
SPEAKER_00Because apparently it's offensive.
SPEAKER_04Oh, I mean, like I'm sure it's offensive.
SPEAKER_00HR people don't like it. Right. Okay.
SPEAKER_04So at work they say don't do it.
SPEAKER_00Somebody will say that they felt horrible. Right. They saw some ass picture.
SPEAKER_02So they got to talk to Brittany. And Karen from Human Resources.
SPEAKER_04Buy your own copier machine at home. Yep. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Another top one is uh uh some somebody made a bag of popcorn and it set off and it burned and it set off the fire alarm. So now they can't have popcorn at all. Oh, I haven't had that yet.
SPEAKER_04No, not that one before. That smelt.
SPEAKER_00Yes, it does.
SPEAKER_04Really bad.
SPEAKER_00All right. Uh this one banned listening to music. They said it was consuming too much bandwidth.
SPEAKER_03Boo.
SPEAKER_00But then the IT people are like, that is absolutely not true.
SPEAKER_04Oh.
SPEAKER_00And then they yeah, the IT guy got fired.
SPEAKER_04Oh, for telling the truth. For telling the truth. Well, of course not. You're not gonna tell the fish.
unknownOh jeez.
SPEAKER_02It's like foot loose.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, right?
SPEAKER_02Yep.
SPEAKER_00Oh my god. Um let's see. Oh, yeah. This one. Uh, this place was a restaurant that used to get used to get free beer after their shift at a pizza place until the manager's little brother got in a car accident after work. He ran a red light, and then that then no more beer after work. Oh, for God's sakes. Yeah. Um, where was that other one?
SPEAKER_02Jaeger, that'll put you under.
SPEAKER_04Oh, that's you can't do Yeager.
SPEAKER_00For sure. Or like fireball or something like that.
SPEAKER_02I got a commercial for Jaeger, you ready? So this is it. So that's a picture. A guy comes up uh from behind a bush and his face is filled with blood, and he just says, he just goes, Did I just eat a dog and Jaeger? Then that's the end of it because he was so drunk.
SPEAKER_04Oh my god. Oh my god. Great commercial.
SPEAKER_02Did I just eat a dog and then Jaeger? And then it drops down. But it sounded like it was a good time. Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_00Oh my god.
SPEAKER_02I'm just saying.
SPEAKER_00Okay. And then the other one I'll just go through. This one is at a school, and they have no hands in your pocket rule.
SPEAKER_04In your own pocket.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, no hands, no hands in your pocket.
SPEAKER_04That one I've not heard of.
SPEAKER_00They were waxing the floor, they slipped on a cord and couldn't catch herself. No, what? Yeah, because her hands were in her pockets, and then that's how she like broke her face. Ruined it for everybody. That's how that rule came about, is because somebody had their hands in a pocket, tripped on the waxing floor and broke their face.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00And so now they have a rule: no hands in your pockets.
SPEAKER_04Just don't wear tight jeans, maybe, so you can get your hands out.
SPEAKER_00Like yeah. Wow. Uh and then uh this one is um some interesting license plates in Wisconsin.
SPEAKER_02Oh, yes. Okay. That have been banned.
SPEAKER_00That have been banned. Correct. Okay. Wait a minute, I'll give you some music, huh?
SPEAKER_02Because this is gonna be good, I'll bet. There you go.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Uh the first one is, of course, booby. B-O-O-B-I. Booby.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, no, that's been banned.
SPEAKER_00One of them is police. You can't have a license place that says police. Oh well, okay.
SPEAKER_02Um and then if they're super bad, spell them out and see if we can figure it out.
SPEAKER_00Oh god. Well, um well, these are we just gonna have some kind of component. If I say them, they're gonna you know what they are. Okay um oh, this one is what the number one, me easy. One me easy. Uh one shit. Oh man. What? To kill four, to number two, kill number four, to kill four.
SPEAKER_02These have been banned.
SPEAKER_00These have been banned, so you cannot have these. Really? Yep. One is the number two balls, two balls. Why is it banned?
SPEAKER_01Well, first of all, I love laughing at balls.
SPEAKER_02That makes me laugh. I I don't know why.
SPEAKER_00Balls. Basketballs, baseballs, uh one says uh sucks for you, su X for you. It just Oh, sex for you?
SPEAKER_02S-E-X?
SPEAKER_00S-U-X. It sucks for you. Like sucks to be you, but like sucks for you, but what they should do is take the four-o and just be suck you.

Oh shit. And here's some uh 12 w old wedding traditions that are still practiced today. Not that getting married is awesome, but anyway.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Don't forget tradition is promises made to dead people.
SPEAKER_00That's not uh history behind 12 wedding traditions that are still practiced today. So the bouquet was tossed in medieval Europe, medieval Europe to stop people from ripping apart the bite bridal gown. In medieval Europe, it was common practice for single women to chase down the bride.
SPEAKER_02Oh, take a piece off, right?
SPEAKER_00The pieces off of her dress, naming it in bits as pieces bits and pieces, as the bride did not expect to wear her wedding dress ever again. And it was good luck for single women and a fertility charm. Wow. They read too much into this wedding.
SPEAKER_04So they had like a bousier underneath or something.
SPEAKER_00I don't freaking know.
SPEAKER_04That's a little much. That's a little much.
SPEAKER_00So now what they would do is they would throw the flowers so they would get the flowers and not the dress.
SPEAKER_04Well, yeah, those things are like thousands of dollars for those dresses now, right?
SPEAKER_00Oh gosh, I mean back then they probably like a fancy burlap bag or something.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. I don't know.
SPEAKER_00But painted white.
SPEAKER_04But painted white, right?
SPEAKER_00Uh two, tying the knot comes from a Celtic tradition of binding the couple's hands.
SPEAKER_02Now, this one I kind of knew about.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. The phrase tying the knot dates back to medieval wedding traditions known as the hand fasting ceremony. Um in ancient Celtic practice involving binding couples together in matrimony by tying knots of cloth around their hands. Uh the binding would usually involve tying a knot for each vow, creating a keepsake for the couple.
SPEAKER_04Until they rip through them.
SPEAKER_00Until they just cut it.
SPEAKER_04Oh, okay. Like that's enough.
SPEAKER_00Until they're just done and then we just walk away.
SPEAKER_04Three hours later. That's it.
SPEAKER_00All right. Queen Victoria inspired the tradition of the white wedding dress. White wedding. You know Queen Victoria, right? Oh nice day for a so an 1841 wedding ceremony, Queen Victoria. It was common practice for brides to wear bright, colorful dresses that could be used again for other occasions. But the 20-year-old bride chose to wear white to highlight the delicate lace of her gown, contrary to popular belief that it was to signify purity.
SPEAKER_04She started that.
SPEAKER_00She started that because she didn't want to wear a colored dress. She wanted to show her lace.
SPEAKER_04I know there are plenty of non-pure people that are wearing white dresses. Correct. I mean, it's just that is true. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So yeah. And then Queen Victoria asked that no one else wear white to the wedding, aside from her bridesmaid stating that the trend is still in practice today. So yeah. So now the bride wears white and everyone else wears colored. I didn't know that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. And the uh the uh oi beloy get the party and then common folk wear whatever you wear.
SPEAKER_01Oh man. Right. Oh my god. Yeah, I didn't think so. I don't think it's couple idea. Well my wedding. Whoa.
SPEAKER_00Uh brides stood on the left side of the groom. Uh left side, so the groom could easily draw his sword. So a historically known practice of marriage by capture, where a man captures a woman to make her his bride, has been practiced for thousands of years. Thought it may seem like a long gone custom. The practice still exists among some cultures in Africa and Central Asia. The legacy continues in an unsuspecting way, or the bride and groom stand during a wedding ceremony, and it's common in modern nuptials for the groom. The groom was to stand on the right and the bride on the left. This was so the groom could keep keep his arm free to draw his sword in case anyone came to take the bride away.
SPEAKER_04Also, an actual sword.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_00So if somebody came to steal the bride, he could kill him with a sword.
SPEAKER_02Except in uh Texas, you uh wear a gun. So that's right. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Yeah. Um we'll skip some of these. Oh yeah. The best man in a wedding was uh really the best sword fighter. So in centuries past, men r resorted to capturing the bride again to the to be from her family if they disapproved of the marriage. So to stop anyone from recapturing the bride to be, the groom and his party were prepared to sword fight. The best man would act as the groom's backup in case the bride's loved one tried to make her back from the groom as if she tried to run away.
SPEAKER_01If I were horrible is it?
SPEAKER_02That's pretty horrible.
SPEAKER_00So bad if you're waiting to get like Well, what if you're the minister?
SPEAKER_02Is there anything that's the minister? Okay, bye. You're gonna send right in everybody's head.
SPEAKER_00Like, holy hell.
SPEAKER_02Get the hell out of here.
SPEAKER_00And the bride is literally not wanting to get married, so they try or the family doesn't want her to marry this person, so they try and steal her and capture her away. That's so crazy.
SPEAKER_02If they're so uh, I don't know. Yeah, you want her? Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00No, uh ancient Egyptians saw circular wedding rings as a symbol of eternity and wore them on their finger they considered closest to their heart. So the tradition of wearing a wedding band dates way back to the Egyptians. Wow. They believed a circle was a symbol of eternity, and to marry meant to spend eternity with one another. The rings exchanged made out of braided reeds and worn on the left hand ring finger, which supposedly had a vein that ran directly to the heart. Called the love vein.
SPEAKER_02Oh, I think that's a good thing.
SPEAKER_00Now it's on your left ring finger.
SPEAKER_02You know, one of my old uh college friends' buddies, uh, he brought me to one of his shows, and his grandpa came up to me as they're having an anniversary. I said, How long have you been married? He says, What's your name? I said, Danny. He says, Danny, says I've been married so long. He says, I don't even look both ways before I cross the street anymore.
SPEAKER_04Wow. Just go straight and take your chances. Just take your shot, man. Jeez. Come on, take it. Oh, and you got married anyway. That's that's awesome.
SPEAKER_02I think I think he was married for uh I think 62 years. Wow.
SPEAKER_00Jeez. What did they get married when they were 12?
SPEAKER_02No, I think it was 17. 17 years old.
SPEAKER_00Oof duh.
SPEAKER_02Man, that's a long time.
SPEAKER_00And then moving along. This this one I kind of like. Done with weddings. No, we're done with weddings. We're done with that. Sorry. We're just done with that. Anyway, uh, worker disappears after he was accidentally paid more than 300 times his salary. Did you hear about this?
SPEAKER_04No, I don't think so.
SPEAKER_00A worker in Chile submitted his resignation and could not be found after his job accidentally paid him 330 times his salary because of a payroll error. Oh, well, okay. Right? Like I mean, uh, but listen to this.
SPEAKER_03Go grab Luigi, go grab tell me, we go. Let's go.
SPEAKER_00A dispatch assistant of cold metals, whatever, and wherever Chile, received a paycheck of 165,398,851 Chilean pesos, or which sounds like a lot, right? It's only 180 grand.
SPEAKER_04180,000 you left okay, but but in Chile, but that's a huge amount.
SPEAKER_02That's like 1.4 million dollars, right?
SPEAKER_00He was only supposed to be paid 500 and got paid 165 million, blah, blah, blah. Oh my god. Wow. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Did that break the company? So then what?
SPEAKER_00Well, he initially alerted his manager, and the manager's like, okay, well, um, the manager would usually report the issue to human resources who asked the worker to go to his bank, return the extra money. And he ag and then the guy returned agreed to go to the bank the next day, but kept the money, ignored communications, and was disappeared after that. And now they can find him.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, well.
SPEAKER_00Wow.
SPEAKER_02That's good.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I thought it was funny.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I the the the payroll errors are uh I had a payroll error, uh, I think it was back in uh 90. Yeah, 99 I had a payroll error of $500. In the plus? In the plus, yeah. So I brought it on. And back then, I mean, for us, we were just got three years of marriage at that time. We were no two, yeah. 97. So yeah. So I go to Kelly, I go, what do you think? Should I say something? She goes, they're gonna find out. They they know eventually. I mean, like at the end of the month, if they don't know now, some accountant's gonna go, wait a minute. Oh, okay because $500 for us back then was like $2,000. I mean, it was just we would have loved to have it. But the right she goes, no, you better tell them.
SPEAKER_00Well, that's the thing. And in Chile, how well is their payroll?
SPEAKER_02I mean, like, yeah, they probably got the lever and an accountant.
SPEAKER_00Or the balance scales. And we'll give you this.
SPEAKER_02And the green visor. We'll grease it a little bit. With the arm and the armband around his uh shoulder.
SPEAKER_00Oh my god.
SPEAKER_02It looks like a barbershop quartet stickle.
SPEAKER_04I had a bank, I had a bank do that to me one time. Really? Like, I'm not, I won't mention the bank, obviously, but yeah, yeah. I had like a $4,000 uh deposit. Oh and I was like, whoa, I'm gonna go and well, wait a minute. Maybe I shouldn't buy. And I went back to that bank and I'm like, I think something's wrong here. And they're like, oh my God, we deposited in the wrong account. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00We're lucky I'm an honest person.

SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_02Those are some of the things.
SPEAKER_00But that's my fuzzy, fuzzy story for the day.

SPEAKER_0021-inch ear.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, for a little baby. And that was the bottom as I'll go to my.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Curious what would pop up if you just put it on.
SPEAKER_02Ricky.
SPEAKER_04Oh, yes.
SPEAKER_02Rick Ramirez. Oh, wait a minute.
SPEAKER_04That is all.
SPEAKER_02I didn't get it right. There we go.
SPEAKER_00Oh. Yeah. All-star game. And we're done.
SPEAKER_02Oh, you had an outstar game? You had something else?
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_02Amy, you had something else? I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_00No, no.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_02There we go. Do it again. There you go.
SPEAKER_00Starting again. Starting again.
SPEAKER_02Like I said, folks, this isn't a professional show. Did you no?
SPEAKER_04We try, but uh speaking of the All-Star game, did any of you watch and watch it? No. No. Me neither. I was gonna prepare. Actually, that's not true. I did turn it on because I thought, you know what? If we have a podcast, I might watch, and it lasted three minutes, and I'm like, I can't. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02It's just would you risk your best players getting hurt in this?
SPEAKER_00That's the thing. In the middle of the season. That's what they mean.
SPEAKER_02I'm sure they're pitching hard and they're not, you know. Good intentions and yeah, hit bet everyone's stepping away for the blade.
SPEAKER_04I mean, they are pitching hard. They're they're, you know, they're they're playing, but I don't I don't think it's a good one.
SPEAKER_02Maybe it's just good to get some signatures or something. But that's that's bad. It's a fan base thing. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Pro Bowl, I've been to the show.
SPEAKER_02Same thing. Gone. Just give me a terrible.
SPEAKER_04Don't do it in the middle of the freaking season. Like, come on. Right. In the middle of the baseball season.
SPEAKER_00Middle of the season.
SPEAKER_04Why would you do that? Oh, somebody running the third base.
SPEAKER_00Oh!
SPEAKER_04Yeah, that's a yeah, that'd be bad. Tiger Woods at the British Open 2022.
SPEAKER_02Anymore. But Rick, it's here's the goal.
SPEAKER_00Especially Tegger Woods.
SPEAKER_04An emotional missed cut has the 15-time major winner pondering is St. Andrews' future. Okay. Okay. Mrs. Malafaver, you're you're appreciating this news. I know you are.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, go ahead.
SPEAKER_04So Tigers' bid for a third career major victory at St. Andrews during the 150th Open Championship came up well short on Friday as the 15-time major champion missed the weekend cut, turning in a 3 over 75 in round two to finish an abbreviated stay in Scotland at 9 over through 36 holes of play.
SPEAKER_00I'd stay at Scotland.
SPEAKER_04I wanted to stay there too. Wouldn't that be awesome?
SPEAKER_00Hot guys in Scotland, let me tell you. Oh, they're so cute.
SPEAKER_03Throw you like a tree over my back, somebody.
SPEAKER_01I like that.
SPEAKER_00I will take it, cuz damn.
SPEAKER_04Because they all wear skirts. Perfect strange. I'm sorry, not skirts. They're what are those called? The kilts. They're called kilts. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00They're like like Jared Butler. I'll be there.
SPEAKER_03Right. Anyway. Okay. Are you a damn sports castronaut? Christ.
SPEAKER_04So Woods is out of the uh, yeah, he lost. Yay! Now I want you. There's a reason why I brought him up right now.
SPEAKER_02Let me interrupt. I'm gonna interrupt for a second.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_02So I had to come to a reckoning uh with sports. Because as you know, but yeah, I know Tom Brady is retired. Seven, however, 199th pick on the thing. I was reading up on this just to see does he deserve all the shit we're giving him? Kind of does. But however, best quarterback, probably, and there's only two other people, there's only one other person I can say without a doubt is the best in their class. Because if Tiger Woods, you say he's the best at golf, then someone will say you know Jack Nicholas. You know what I mean? They'll they got a bunch of arguments.
SPEAKER_04But Brady after height, who are you gonna Brady, yeah.
SPEAKER_02I used to think Jimmy United's, but no, I like I mean seven Brady. And then the other thing is uh Phelps for swimming.
SPEAKER_04Without a doubt, Phelps is yeah, the the so far the most the best swimmer ever. Whether he was high or not, nobody cares. But he may have been.
SPEAKER_02But does he have whips webbed fingers and maybe can you can you get in? No, you can't swim again. No, no, but crazy.
SPEAKER_01Just throwing that in there. Just want us. No, that's true.
SPEAKER_02I mean, we can give him shit if we want to.
SPEAKER_04I'm just saying it's hard to argue with the seven. I'm tired of talking about him. Seven Super Bowl championships.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Yeah. It's hard to put it. That's the one. We're gonna let him go. He's got he's off now. He's good. Go ahead.
SPEAKER_04He's not retired, he's he's playing.
SPEAKER_00He's back this year. What?
SPEAKER_04He came back. I thought that I had read. No, he's back. He's back. He's back. He's signed back on for another year.
SPEAKER_00As soon as Aaron Rodgers came back, he came back.
SPEAKER_04But Aaron Rodgers got signed for like 20 million more per year than Brady's getting. Okay. That's the difference between a quarterback, I think.
SPEAKER_02Well, Tom Brady. No.
unknownAll right.
SPEAKER_02So here we go. Tom Brady's team versus our team now. I have to root for the Packers. However, it's gonna be interesting. That'd be cool game to see. Are there teams that can't play against? Because I don't know, because there's NFL and then there's AFL. I don't know what that means. There's two separate divisions. Is that what that is?
SPEAKER_04The NFL is made up of two conferences, the AFC and the NFC.
SPEAKER_02And AFC and the NFC. So and people in AFC don't play against each other?
SPEAKER_04They do, but it changes every year. The brackets change of who you play so that you actually end up playing most of the teams with, I think it's like within a five or ten year span. So you should play every team in the league within a five or ten year span, but it takes a while because you end up playing in your division the same team twice a year. Okay.
SPEAKER_00So I won't see a home and an away game.
SPEAKER_02So I'll never see uh so if I'm gonna have a favorite team, let's say. It's good to have a favorite team in each division. That way, if one makes it to the Super Bowl, the other side might not. Like, like, for example, I like for example, I like Pittsburgh. I like Pittsburgh and I like uh Green Bay. Bet Green Bay, right? Yeah. So, but they'll never they're competing against each other because they're in the same division uh conference. They're not in the conference.
SPEAKER_04You're perfect, you're actually perfect if you would if you would root for Pittsburgh and Green Bay, because they can meet in the Super Bowl.
SPEAKER_02Because they could meet in the Super Bowl. Right. Or or Green Bay could not, and Pittsburgh could be in there. Or vice versa. Okay, okay. Because I thought I thought it didn't used to be like that, to where they were in the same thing or something, and they uh you don't. Just wondering. Go ahead.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, no, you're right, you're right. Okay, okay now, now now poor Tiger Woods, and I'm still on him because there's a reason.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_04So Tiger Woods is not the player he used to be, right? He's he's really struggling. He's you know, mashed his left knife. Right. So he's not uh really what he's used to be. So what happened was Tiger Woods, and I I know you guys remember me uh mentioning that Saudi Arabian like uh golf circuit where they're playing they're paying like professional golfers insane amounts of money to come and join their league and play in their, you know, it's it's like a narrow down, it's you don't play as many. Well, uh there are some people Phil Mickelson had some interesting words about it. Uh let's see, oh shit. So golfer Phil Mickelson um went for the money, although he called the Saudis Scary Mother Efforts. Holy shit. Oh boy, yeah, but he still took the money and he's in that league, he's playing for their league. But he he did that like three months after he called them that. Yeah, and they must have uh forgave him because they gave him like 200 million dollars to play something like that. Tiger Woods, feeling like he is one of the biggest golf stars in the history of golf, and he is one of them, stood up with Jack Nicholas, who basically said, How dare they come up with this new golf league? Yeah. And I get it, you know, it's kind of tarnishing these legends. Oh no, it's just about money.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_04Right. So Tiger Woods they claim he turned down a one billion dollar offer from the Saudi League for him to play in their new tournament or their new uh whatever this is. Good. Um billion dollars. Like eighty nine figures.
SPEAKER_00Like golf.
SPEAKER_02All he has to do is golf, but it would he's but there would be no women, so well. If they started up a women's league, that'd be interesting.
SPEAKER_04So he turned down one billion dollars. Now, of course, they did say he already is one of the richest golfers still. Yeah, there's merchandising, he's he's a billionaire anyway. So did he need the extra billion? Apparently not. Maybe sometimes you gotta put a wing on the house, you know, buy some new golf clubs.
SPEAKER_02Right? You can get some nice set of golf clubs.
SPEAKER_04New golf golf cuts. Yes, well, that's they're pretty expensive. You know, I just buy a new set of golf clubs. No, you I know you guys would be excited about that.
SPEAKER_02No, I'm not.
SPEAKER_04Uh yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_02Well, we should go to the putt-putt to do that.
SPEAKER_04I would do that. I'd do putt-putt. Yeah, that's good stuff too.
SPEAKER_00Can I come? Am I invited to that? Sure. Oh, why wouldn't you?
SPEAKER_04There's no roller coasters there.
SPEAKER_02So the origins of the NFL Steam music. Oh, yes. I wanted to know that. Yes. Let me give you yours again.
SPEAKER_04I looked it up, Dan. Sunday night football. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Now, wait a minute, let me find some of these things. Go ahead, keep talking.
SPEAKER_04There was a time when corporate identification was conveyed as much through music as it was through images. You didn't even need words. People heard the song and they knew the product.
SPEAKER_02That's right.
SPEAKER_04This form of branding is now almost extinct, mostly because television audiences are so fragmented.
SPEAKER_00It's kind of true.
SPEAKER_04Except in one area where people still constantly watch live TV. Sports and for NFL football, the TV networks are still branding the games with musical signatures that go back a long time. Football music is trombones, cellos, and horn, says Tom Hedden, who wrote the music for NFL films from 1990 to 2009. And violins have the dexterity and agility to really make a sound that matches the speed of the players. And that gives you almost, I don't know, a feeling of what you're actually really seeing.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_04Right, right. And hearing at the same time.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_04So if you know if they're playing like uh Barry Sanders breaking away for a touchdown, you'll hear that fast, like violin tremolo. Yep. Sure. That's or a cartoon. How does that use all the sound?
SPEAKER_02Didn't they used to have a thing called Inside the NFL and they had all that? Oh, I don't know. They had a bunch of songs for that. But it was like really old. They would rank the best ever things. It was a long time ago.
SPEAKER_04Oh, yeah. They had that. Yes. That was that's still that's just something you can look up and watch on like the classic NFL.
SPEAKER_02Right, right.
SPEAKER_04Um, so they said one example too is uh Heavy Action, the song that has been the theme for Monday Night Football since 1989. It was written by Johnny Pearson, who was British and never actually watched American football. He didn't write heavy action for football either. It was aimed at the commercial music market. He says, This was a different approach. This was very punchy. Who was Pearson's studio engineer and producer? It's very lively. It's in your face, really. Years later, when an employee for ABC heard Heavy Action in a music publisher's library, the network ditched its original Hammond organ-driven Monday night football theme in favor for Pearson's Diddy.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, this is what I'm thinking of. You hear this? Oh, yeah, that was classic. Yeah, they would play films. And then Brad Shaw through to the famous Lynn Squad. Coming down to the end of the broadline against the Dallas Cowboys.
SPEAKER_03Immaculate reception. Immaculate.
SPEAKER_04Uh-huh. You know that's real, right?
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_02Totally. Do you remember that? But that's but I mean that was the theme song of the NFL, right? Yep. All right. So let me see. What is it today?
SPEAKER_04Consider a sympathetic story about a wide receiver for the Giants that ends with him catching a touchdown pass over a Dallas cornerback. If you show a Cowboys fan the Giants scoring a touchdown, Head and says, they're not going to be empathetic without some coercion. And music is a very powerful way to coerce the audience. The origins of the NFL on Fox theme are from an unlikely source. Anyone guess?
SPEAKER_02The name of the Fox who who wrote it?
SPEAKER_04Of what the uh origins of the NFL on Fox themes. No. The source of the inspiration for that? Batman. Really? Yeah. In 1994, after landing the contract to broadcast NFL games, Fox Sports founder David Hill was on the hunt for a theme song. He had just taken his kids to an amusement park and loved the Batman music he'd heard there on one of the rides. Huh. Commercial jingle writer Scott Strer got the chance to write a song that he was instructed to make sound like a Batman on steroids. And here it is.
SPEAKER_02That's the big one.
SPEAKER_00That's much better. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02But I thought that there was an older, like they the first, the first NFL theme song. I mean, they had to, I mean, it was it had to have been cheesy. I just can't. I've never been able to find it where to find the audio of them? Yeah, yeah. There's an audio song. But uh yeah, they go back quite a ways. But yeah.
