Music lovers, brace yourselves! We're appreciating the genius of Rick James and the Bee Gees, and exploring the peculiarities of Earth’s rotation speed. If you've ever had a holiday retail horror story or wondered why bananas are a little bit radioactive, you’re in good company. Our chat takes a whimsical turn as we marvel at blue whales’ booming calls and the Leaning Tower of Pisa's two-century construction saga. We also uncover peculiar laws from around the globe, such as the one forbidding you to forget your wife's birthday in Samoa—don’t let that one slip your mind!
From butterflies’ memories to the soothing effects of music on cows, our exploration of quirky topics doesn’t stop. We wrap things up with a nostalgic nod to classic films and literature, discussing the impact of public domain releases, and how iconic characters like Winnie the Pooh are opening doors for creativity. Our holiday movie experiences leave us pondering the magic of old-time animations—a perfect end to our light-hearted journey aimed at bringing joy and laughter to your day.

Oh, hello I thought we weregoing new well, I'll throw this

How's it going?
How you doing?
Everybody?
It's three C's in Keith, right,three C's.
We're coming on, yeah.
So how was your guys' NewYear's?
Ours was fun.
We played games and listened tomusic and had food and
basically just waited for theyear to change, and it was again
(02:48):
pleasantly uneventful.
We did the whole sweep of anice, calm holiday season and I
couldn't really be more happyabout that.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
There was no cars getting exploded or anything, or
gunshots.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Oh, there's plenty of gunshots.
It was definitely that when theyear went off, it was probably
man.
Maybe two to three hoursafterwards they were still going
yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Mine was pretty okay.
There was no eggnog incident.
Yes Whoa, we broke the two-yearcurse.
He said you know what?
You're having one eggnog.
That's it.
We're going to play it safethis year and had the leftover
treats from Christmas dessertsand had some New Year's Day.
(03:34):
We had like those littlecocktail sausages and we had
meatballs and different stuffnice, nice, nothing big, just
counted down the night beforeand everything, different stuff,
nice, nice, you know nothingbig, you know.
Just we'll count it down thenight before and everything.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Now, does everybody stay up in the house until the
New York or Keith's timemidnight, or do you stay awake
for the Chicago?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Well, we stay up for the Chicago one.
That's what we are.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, jimmy, he's old enough to stay up now.
So he's a couple years in a rownow.
He's happy, he stays up, hefeels all adult and stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
How about you, Keith?
Do you stay awake the wholetime?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Oh, yeah, yeah, I think this is the first year I
actually thought about that,because a friend, pauly from the
Greenwood Boys, is in Irelandand they're eight hours ahead of
us, so it's like, well, man, hewould have celebrated his, you
know, when it was four o'clockin the afternoon here.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Now, speaking of that , did you guys watch throughout
the day the New Year's turningin the countries around the
world?
Like the different celebrations?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
No, I missed that.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Hands down.
They did it, hands down.
The best, even over us, is inDubai.
Holy cow, man, they got theworld's largest LED screen.
It's 2,163 feet.
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness,oh my goodness.
And the countdown started on thebottom, man, and worked its way
(05:12):
up to the peak of this building, this tower, and the fireworks
just start pouring out of thebuilding.
Man, it looked like an infernaland then, like all these
digital, it was kind of likeknow the spear in Vegas?
You guys seen how the videosare inside?
Yeah, it's like like giantpeople, like DJs are like on the
(05:33):
, on the, on the LED screens,and the music did sound familiar
to me, man, because you knowlike DJs have certain styles and
you kind of like you pick up onit.
Well, on the very top of thattower is everything was going
off.
Man was the DJ from Amsterdam,armin van Buren, and he played
(05:54):
at the very top of this towerand he put the camera and
pointed it down and, man, it'slike so high and he's out in the
open, but it was so cool, man,because horses were running
across the tower, dragons arelike, coming up the led screens,
and it went on for damn near anhour and I was like, how many
(06:16):
fireworks does this apartmentbuilding hold?
Man, like it's crazy, it'scrazy.
You gotta think the peopleliving inside the building gotta
be like what the hell's goingon.
You know like when's this stuffstopping?
But jesus.
And then the funniest thing youknow like chicago, you'd think
(06:37):
they would have a bigger likesetup.
You know like new york, but itdoesn't, man.
And you get all new y Yorkstuff on TV and then you get 29
minutes of Chicago.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
And Chicago.
It used to be big but, like yousaid, the last couple of years,
especially this year, they justshow that, like the news,
people in a, like a club orsomething, clubbing and stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Right now say, well, let's go to the salt club and
then there'll be a host and hiswife there and then it'll be
like let's go over to this cluband there'll be two more news
people and the husband wastrying to get his wife drunk
like come on, drink eight shotsof tequila dude.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I saw that he's what this one guy was getting this
woman to like.
Just she was downing.
He's like come on, come on,come on.
I'm like, is it are we watchingabuse?
What's going on here?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I believe that's what it was, yeah when it turns out
that last year she couldn'tdrink because she was pregnant
because, yeah, the guy sheco-host with is her husband, so
he took all the shots for her.
So this year he said that she'dhave to make it up.
And then they they said she canonly do four because of her
height difference compared towhat he is.
(07:47):
But man, it's shit.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
At the one club, valerie Warner, who's on Channel
7, she was in this hot dressand stuff and she had to add
something to her because she wasgrinding with these guys.
I'm like holy, I was ready tocover Jimmy's eyes Like oh my
God was grinding with these guys.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I'm like holy, I was like ready to cover Jimmy's eyes
, like, oh my God, come on.
The big act that they showed onTV was some guy dancing around
in a Dunkin' Donuts cup and thecup's just dancing.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
That looks like the most poor ass stuff.
I don't know how if Chicago'sthat bad off with the money that
they can't spend on anythingbut a Dunkin' Donuts costume.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Or that's what they trust to be able to safely go
off without, you know, a lot ofBob showing up and beating the
living shit out of everybody insight.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
And then they kept telling him Dunkin' Donuts cup,
turn around, turn around,because he's got more stuff on
his back and the guy's just likejust dancing.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I'm telling you, you, they were all grinding like it
was adult theme.
I'm like Jesus.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Christ man.
And then, not too far from myhouse, probably about 10 minutes
, is Whiting and they have thepierogi drop and they tried that
for the first time last yearand the news they cut over to it
, the show dropping.
Did you see that, jim?
Last year the big pierogi wasall lit up and it went like two
inches and broke.
I live TV man.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Oh my God, why didn't you fail?
What'd they do this year?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
They did nothing.
Nothing on TV.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
They couldn't fix it One year they couldn't fix it.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
You used to have Ryan Seacrest host New York.
Now he's in Vegas.
Well, it was Dick.
Clark before that Right, butthey still call it the Dick
Clark Rockin' New Years, butthey took it to Vegas and left
all the nobodies.
I'm sorry, I have nothingagainst, but like all the acts
that were on TV for the New York, I had to have a translator on
(09:45):
the TV because it was allSpanish, like some guy named
Cabo.
Who's Cabo?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You don't know, man, you're not on the hip side.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You don't know all that stuff.
And then every chick had somelike painted-on suit and they
could barely squat down the damp.
They'd rip their ass out.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
It's a vulgar New Year's.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, and then on the other side of the stage that
they did in the air was like theJonas Brothers name people and
I'm like, well, how come wedidn't get that?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I think big name celebrities are probably like
staying inside and like they'reall scared to go out and stuff
because all the craziness hashappened this last two years.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I love watching Earth Cam, love watching it.
You can go anywhere around theworld and just watch live what's
going on.
And I was showing Karen becauseshe's never seen EarthCam and
they don't sponsor us oranything, but I showed her
Bourbon Street in New Orleansand then, like no later than 20
minutes after I shut that off,that psycho went crazy and
(10:45):
killed all the people right inthe front of that camera.
Man, oh my God, yeah, fifteenpeople.
He killed man, and I'm like youlucked out, man, I see that I
don't know, yeah, and like thatwould have like really messed me
up.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah, seconds into the new year.
You're like what's the point?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
seconds into the new year you're like what's the
point?
They said not to be funny.
But they said, nah, I'm gonnasay, man, I'm gonna take the
mood down in the show and Idon't want to take the mood down
.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Well, for our countdown, jimmy was playing
Animal Crossing on the Switchand they do a live countdown
every year on that and he wasjust with the other villagers
like cheering and setting offfireworks and stuff.
I'm like oh, that's the way tokick it.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, it's innocent.
You're playing video games andyou're with, hopefully, friends
that you're with on the game Ifyou're playing live with other

The human body glows.
(12:58):
Humans emit a small amount oflight that's too faint for the
human eyes to see, okay, butwhat sees it though?

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Oh that small amount of light that's too faint for
the human eyes to see.
Okay, but what?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
sees it, though I don't know, it's probably the
infrared stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Oh, I thought when you're in love, that's when you

Speaker 4 (13:14):
Or you're Rick James and you got an orange aura

.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Oh he's so funky, yeah kind of like uh, the bgs,
where people kind of make fun ofthe bgs a lot, but you listen
to their music, it's like andit's some of the best stuff ever
made yeah, you gotta.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
You just gotta have an older like kind of

Speaker 3 (14:58):
A day on earth used to be 22 hours, so wait, how
long ago was that?
It's a couple millions a yearoh, so it's going to stay.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
What the heck man wait?
What how?
Earth's rotation was faster,making days shorter so now it's
slower, so shouldn't it be likewhen is it going to be like
slower again to where we getlike 26 hours in a day or
something?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
yeah, that means our work days are going to be longer
.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah, but that more time to do stuff you know you
don't have to work that longthat's more sleep maybe.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Imagine being at small market for 12 hours.
No, no, no, I don't think aboutthat.
Hey, the holiday season's overman, you should be think about
that.
Hey, the holiday season's overman, you should be happy about
that.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
No, because the stuff's still coming in.
All the people's crap.
I didn't want that.
I broke that.
You have to pee on it.
Thanks a lot.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
You got the same pair of shoes as an excuse and they
brought back the dirty pair.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, or they'll vacuum up like dog crap and then
like, oh, bring it back to thestore and then just leave the
crap or the stuff inside thevacuum.
And I'm like what the hell, man?
Everybody wonders why we're socranky over there.
Why don't you come over hereand work for an hour and see how
you?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
No, I don't know I don't wonder.
Here we go.
Blue whales are louder than jetengines.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Well, yeah, because their bodies are so big, I'd
believe that their lungs and allthat, and their sound.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
It says the blue whale can reach a decibel of 188
, whereas a jet engine can onlypeak at 140.
Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
If it's next to you, it'll break your lungs or
something, won't it, I think?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
yeah, they said you can hear them for miles if I
drove this.
They said you can hear them formiles if you're underwater and
you can hear.
That would be spooky.
Well, the scuba diving for thefirst time and you're like what?
What you know?
You realize there's a reasonwhy you shouldn't be there.
And then my ex-girlfriend swimsby man is it's like?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Because you can't swim.
I don't know why people loveswimming in the water and saying
that I mean you're in theirdomain and you can't get away
fast enough.
There's no human can get awayfast enough from something down
there.
Exactly, people are like Istill got to go.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
How about?
The biggest great white sharkthey found is 24 feet.
They call it big blue and, uh,the girl that swims with it's
only five, five and she justattaches on and goes swimming
with it.
She's like swimming in front ofthem, under her arm, and I'm
like, nah, when you see, likethe helicopter view down into
(17:47):
like the crystal clear, likewater, dude, it's like the size
of its head and I'm like why,man?
All right, so you know, ourfriends and our family members,
the bananas.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Remember Jim.
They shared 60% of our DNA.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Oh, I thought they came down the stairs in pajamas.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
No, so they are radioactive, bananas are.
Oh yeah, they are I saw a teampotassium negative 40, which is
a radioactive isotope ofpotassium, and they said eating
six bananas in a row could bedeadly.
(18:28):
Wow, like one after the otherbecause that's too much
radiation.
It's really weird.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
I went to the dentist last time.
They had a chart on the wallbecause everybody freaks out
about the lead vest when theytake photos of your teeth and
they had a chart to where thebanana was just underneath the
x-rays or like you're checkingfor your teeth, and they had a
chart to where the banana wasjust under or underneath the uh
like x-rays and stuff.
Like you're checking for yourteeth and camp pictures and they
show like stuff that you dealwith like microwaves and that's
(18:58):
worse than uh, getting yourteeth looked at and everything
that x-rays and that.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Wow, but I did see a banana on the chart I mean
there's people there's, likeathletes out there, that have
seven, eight bananas at a clip,you know, and they blend them up
with the spring water and whatyou know, like the parkour dude
Tim Sheep, I know he says if hedoesn't have at least seven or
eight bananas he gets upset.
That could be universal.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
He needs his fix of radiation.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Right, he's radioactive guy.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
All right, this is crazy the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Anybody know how long it took to make or build 2,000
years.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
You're so close, it's 199.
199 years, it says.
It started leaning as soon asthe construction started.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Oh, they kept going and they kept going.
Then you get halfway up orsomething, aren't you like?
Shouldn't we restart this orfix that guy?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
no, keep going it's like you know they would look at
him, be like did scott buildthat?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
and things more crooked than a politician, uh,
or if the, or if the guy lookingat it on ground saying it's,
it's, no, I don't believe him.
He's never right and they justkeep going.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
It'll even out eventually.
I told you it was leaning.
The other side will go down too.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Your stomach gets a new lining every few days.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I heard that too.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
It says it protects it from digesting itself from
acid.
Like where's the?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
oh, nevermind, I know we're getting all your cells
and everything else, and thatall changes, so you're like a
new person.
Every uh can't remember howmany years your whole body is
different.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Well, I feel different than I did.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I feel old man, just well where you live I, I I feel
old man.
Well, where you live, I'd feeldifferent too.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
I know I've had a bad stomach since I was probably 19
years old, so I can definitelygo for that.
I understand that.
I don't know if you've everheard of this.
You know I have what's calledan open sphincter muscle.
Obviously there's one.
You know what the obvious oneis?
Well, there's the other one,like right where your stomach is
(21:10):
, where your, you know, your,whatever your esophagus, where
your food goes down into yourstomach and when you eat food it
closes up around your food.
Where mine doesn't close, itstays open, and so when I eat
food I don't digest properly, ithover, yeah, back it's, yeah,
it's a pain in the, in the buttman I've been dealing with it
(21:31):
for a long time, literally, yeah, yeah, I was gonna say
literally.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
I was wording that as jim said it.
This one's a little bitbaffling to me.
Okay, so you can see your noseall the time, but your brain
ignores it to focus on moreimportant things.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I believe it.
It has to.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
If I get too hammered , I feel like that's when I
start to get sick, is when Istart looking at my own nose.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Because people have habits and if they feel
something on them they'll startitching or something until
they're bleeding and stuff.
I can imagine your brain seeingyour nose all the time and
running into things like oh,this one would really piss me
off.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Some people can hear their eyeballs moving.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Oh, no way.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
It's a rare condition called Superior Canal Dyspnea
Syndrome.
They can actually hear as theymove their eyes, man, it sounds
like a boat creaking.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Now can they hear other stuff, Like real far away
or something real small makingnoise.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I think it's just the stuff that's inside the head.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Oh okay, oh man, that's like some Brandon Stimpy
type stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
You'd always hear somebody following you, but it's
really your eyes moving, man.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
It could be what you ate.
It's like traveling down yourstomach.
You're like who's that, who'sthat?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
All right, there is a species of ant that can explode
.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
I think I've heard of that.
I think I have heard of that.
I think I have heard of that.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
The Colobus's Saunders ant sacrifices itself
by rupturing and releasing thetoxic goo.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Ah I was wondering if it had anything to do with the
uncle.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Between the last couple things we talked about.
Does that not sound like an oldschlock movie Fucking open
sphincter and the toxic goo?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
yeah, what'd you guys talk about?
Open sphincters and and toxicgoo.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Yeah, it sounds like the title of a scooby-doo
cartoon sphincter and toxic gooand the toxic goo.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
oh god, just got an x rating, now Great.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah, Now how the hell do people know this?
Butterflies can remember beingcaterpillars.
It's their transformation.
They retain some memory.
How do?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
you know, how do you freaking know that they don't
ask it?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
They got good word in the butterfly community.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
We've been asked a million of them.
We know what they mean.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Survey in the bushes says by the myrtle flies I, I
think, maybe they.
They think because of themigration which they have, the
same butterflies flying aroundthat came from mexico all the
way up to here and then to flyall the way back to life
expectancy isn't.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
They just might have good GPS, like a bat or
something you know.
That's like those people thatsay that counselors for the dogs
or something they hear, or catsor something they say, well,
he's stressed out, he don't like.
When you do this, it's like howare you talking to the pet?
They just smell.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
On the last fact show I said sloths can breathe
longer than dolphins.
They can hold their breathunderwater longer.
So I was watching, doing myresearch, like we do here at the
Powerspoint Studio, and Iwatched this boat out in the
ocean.
They had seen something and itwas a sloth swimming in the
(25:08):
ocean, just cruising man.
It moved faster in the waterthan it does on land.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
What I want to see, so I'm going to look that up now
.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Hey, have you also seen when the Russians they'd
seen something weird like aperiscope in the water.
So when they pulled the boat upit was a freaking elephant
swimming and they was just sothey picked it off the water man
and brought it up on the, butit was miles and miles away from
(25:41):
shore could you imagine, withthe sloths, if it was like they
nobody knew that really it was asecret thing and they were like
so slow on landing.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
You're like, oh, we're not going to other animals
and people, we're not going tomess with them.
They get in the water andthey're like they're like
missiles and yeah, they golightning speeds and stuff.
That'd be hilarious.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Okay, here you go.
You're taller in the morningthan at night.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
That's true.
I've heard that because yourbody is laid out and it's uh
gravity isn't pulling youstraight down like and
compressing you like it doeswhen you're standing yeah, it
says your spine compressesthroughout the day, so you're
probably like six, eight, yeah,right right.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
So would you be taller than after coming out of
a pool if you were floating?
Because that's what they, youknow, like people with bad backs
, they have you float in a pool.
If you can, to like, line yourdisc back up and whatnot, would
that work the same way?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I think it'd have to be a couple hours or something.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Yeah, it might have to be a couple hours.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Yeah, and if you're somebody in the in the, in the
water for a couple hours been.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, that's when your body resorts to like making
your fingers, like yourfingerprints, and that rise up
so you can like, it's like aprimal thing here's a not only
facts, but I got some factuallaws too.
All right, oh believe it or not?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
And our wives would appreciate this.
In Samoa, it's illegal toforget your wife's birthday.
Yeah, now what's the punishment, though I don't know man, I
think I'd take the punishment.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, wait a minute.
What about Rob?
It's a good point.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I think in Samoa it's a female president.
Oh, in Somalia it's a president, a female president.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Oh, you know what?
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Can we stop that, especially with the number of
sensitive men these days?
Come on, man In.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Switzerland, flushing the toilet after 10pm is
considered noise pollution.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Depends on who's going.
If somebody's real whisperquiet, they can pinch one out,
but if it's old dad or uncle joeor something it's going to be
like and not flushing may be adifferent kind of pollution.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
These are real facts.
In Canada, it's illegal toscare the queen.
I don't think they have anyissues with that at the moment.
But All right, wow, what wasthis?
In Arizona, donkeys can't sleepin bathtubs.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
So there was a problem.
It was an ongoing issue thatthey had to make a law.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
I say, as they shouldn't.
This is wrong when that goes on.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Somebody said this is getting out of hand.
We got to handle this right now, Come on.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Or at least make them bigger, for them Come on.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
What do you guys think about this one?
In England it's illegal tohandle a salmon suspiciously.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I would ask the Bobby , I would say what is your
definition of suspiciously?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
My male member is not stuck in the fish.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
We don't like how you're petting that fish.
Would you put it down About toget citation?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Cows produce more milk when listening to relaxing
music.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I bet that's fact, because you just let it all flow
.
They're like oh, this is sopeaceful.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
That's why I got Beethoven playing in the
bathroom, just let things flow.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
What do you suppose they prefer?
Because they have to have apreference.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, they should try different artists.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Yeah, like Enya, that'd be what they'd be into.
Maybe I already think they likecountry music because it feels
like home to them.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Different moods of a kind.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Yeah, alright, last one, guys.
The inventor of the microwavegot the idea when a chocolate
bar melted in his pocket.
I'll repeat the inventor of themicrowave got the idea when a
chocolate bar melted in hispocket, my God.
I'll repeat the inventor of themicrowave got the idea when a
chocolate bar melted in hispocket.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Hmm, he was like wait , if I heat this up.
Then he was like probablyfiguring out how to heat things
up and stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Dude.
One last one.
It just ran across the screen.
Uh-oh, it smells like rotteneggs due to hydrogen sulfide.
Talking to planet.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Oh, it also depends on what you eat.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
That's all I got for these more facts, and we really
hope we educated you here alittle bit Wait wait, hold on,
hold on.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Did you guys have you heard about Public Domain Day,
january 1st Just happened?
No, they have a list of movies,books, music and other stuff
that comes into public domain,with the years Okay, so this is
every 1950?
No, oh, no, this was Ifanything was made before 1978,
(30:44):
it takes 95 years, okay, andanything after 1978 takes 70
years for movies, okay, and thenbooks are like 70 years.
It's a whole bunch of differentwith different types, but this
year the big ones that came outare more Mickey Mouse cartoons.
After Steamboat Willie, theSkeleton Dance with the Disney
(31:06):
they always show the skeletonsdancing.
That's public domain.
Now Popeye is public domain.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Oh nice.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Tintin is public domain.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Already.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Yeah, I don't know if it's the first incarnation of
him.
I don't think you could use thelater ones if they copyrighted
it, but I think it said 10-10.
The Marx Brothers movie theCoconuts.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah, hey, I'll be right back.
Hold on, keep talking, Keeptalking.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
No problem, and they have a bunch of books too, and
three of the main books I sawwas the Maltese, balkan and
Farewell to Arms.
I think Hemingway did that oneand All Quiet on the Western
Front oh wow.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
I just saw the thumbnail for that movie and I
was telling my dad about thatthat we watched that movie in
high school.
How depressing was that movieman to have to sit there and do
a report on it.
John Boy from the on it andeverything.
John Boy from the Waltons andeverything.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I remember a history class and our teacher in middle
school and high school had WorldWar II photo movies like real
movies and stuff yeah, with thebodies and stuff, and it was
freaking horrific the footage wewere watching.
Yeah, I couldn't believe it,glory.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
They definitely had some stuff that was a little
more emotional bodies and stuffand it was like freaking
horrific the footage we werewatching yeah, that's that's.
I couldn't believe it likeglory it was.
You know, they definitely hadsome stuff that was a little
more emotional than what I'd bewatching on my own.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
That's yeah but these are public domains.
If, uh, we want to get creative, we can like last year was
winnie the pooh and stuff, orwas it two years ago winnie the
pooh?
I think yes, years ago.
Steamboat will was last year.
So we can get creative with thePowers Point podcast and use
some of these public domains,right.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Now I always wonder can they, can they re copyright
those?
Is there a law you know?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
and then I don't know , I don't think once they go
public domain, I'm not sure.
Right, that's real cool thatthey have, because it used to be
shorter time, I think, formovies.
But I think Disney kept pushingback Mickey Mouse.
They didn't want to ruin theirwhole company.
They were like paying a lot ofmoney to get it in court to like
(33:11):
stretch it out, and theycouldn't wait any longer.
They finally now they're justdropping more and more.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Now they're trying to ruin the company in a different
way.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
I don't know.
Yeah, that's pretty much theworld, but that's ridiculous.
It's pretty interesting withthat public domain stuff.
Yeah, I think it'spublicdomainorg or something
like that, but it you can lookup and they have a whole library
of stuff and you can just startwatching anything you want or
(33:40):
using it.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
I guess you just wonder how people are going to
use it.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
And I think hold on.
I had a picture Next year, Ithink is.
Who was next year?
Hmm, crud Gosh, dang it.
You know I need a new phone now.
This is ridiculous.
Am I going to be on thePowerspoint podcast and then get
kicked off?
Huh, oh, this was supposed tobe good radio.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
I thought that was the next thing we were doing was
the radio.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Oh, here it is.
His script took over my thing.
Okay, next year is Betty Boopand Pluto Wow, and I don't know
if 27 might have stuff.
But 2028 is Goofy.
2029 is Donald Duck and KingKong oh nice and then all the
(34:29):
way to 2032 is like Snow Whiteand the Seven Dwarfs that's
definitely getting interestingnow yeah, because then in the
2030s it's going to be likeCaptain America, superman,
batman, bugs, bunny, wonderWoman and all that it's going to
start.
all the famous ones are going tobe like Captain America,
superman, batman, bugs, bunny,wonder Woman and all that it's
going to start.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
all the famous ones are going to start dropping
stuff.
Yeah, I think they'll havesomething figured out by then
the way they can keep a hold ofthose Exactly.
There'll be some new loophole.
I don't see them giving up allthose when it comes to the
superheroes and stuff.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Maybe we can make t-shirts or something that have
or a 10, 10 with the powerspoint podcast, or Popeye logo
with the powers point podcast.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Yeah, that is a thing .
Yeah, I guess that would beuseful.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Scott is a Popeye connoisseur.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
No, I think I get a kick out of Popeye.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Well, I didn't like the later years when they had uh
the like, the later years whenthey had uh the little baby had
more prominent role, or they hadthe big, uh, the goons and
stuff.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
Yeah, it's the goon.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah, those were, those were wild I kind of like
the older black or white blackand white ones.
With the on the ship theshutter doors were like slamming
and stuff.
Those are the ones I like, theoriginals.
But when popeye and blutostarted being friends, just like
tom and jerry, I was like I, Idon't like this anymore.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
Oh right, I actually.
I don't know if I remember themever being friends.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Or they would like work together and stuff.
I'm like, no, you're supposedto be.
Like yeah, Bluto was supposedto come, and like feed the crap
out of you and stuff.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Right Until he ate his spinach and then it was
payback time.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
I don't think I ever really got into Tintin too much.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
I'm not even really positive what Tintin is.
I remember Tintin from thecrows, the dude with the knives.
Other than that, I don't know.
It's hilarious.
Fire it up.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Tintin was like this little boy with the dog and
stuff and he would get onadventures, okay, and discovery
and all that.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
I think you could watch Tintin on Disney or in
Discovery and all that.
I think you can watch 1010 onDisney or Peacock.
No, Netflix has a 1010 movie.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
They still make them.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
It's pretty good.
Have you guys watched any goodmovies over the holiday break
from non-work days?
Speaker 4 (36:44):
Really, I can't remember the last movie I would
recommend to anybody period.
But that's just me.
My mind wanders and I have ahard time paying attention to
movies.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
The last one I saw was at a—see.
I watch old ones.
I watched Strangers on a Train.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Where they—the old black and white one where they
try to get one guy tries to getthe other one to murder his
father, I think, and the otherone he murdered a wife or
something, and they just mettheir strangers on a train.
It's really thrilling and stuff.
And the ending scene is likecrazy, the ending.
It's worth the whole thing justto see the ending.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Before Disney lost its.
You were talking about publicdomain before I had to take off
for a sec.
They lost their copyright toWinnie the Pooh.
So right before they lost itthey made a movie called
Christopher Robin.
I don't know if you guys haveseen this movie.
I heard about it.
It's Ewan McGregor, so Obi-WanKenobi, and it shows him playing
(37:47):
as Christopher Robin.
It's a live action in theHundred Acre Woods with Winnie
the Pooh in that.
And then Christopher Robin wentback home and then the boys
board in school and and then, ashe progressed through the World
War I and married and has hiskids, Winnie the Pooh finally
(38:07):
figures out Christopher Robinain't coming back oh my god and
so Christopher Robin, or Winnie,wonders what the tree is that
Christopher Robin went throughand where does it go?
so him Tigger and Rue, or Piglet, he went through the tree is
that Christopher Robin wentthrough and where does it go?
So him, tigger and Rue orPiglet, they went through the
tree and they came out in liveaction.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Dude, it's so good I gotta recommend it.
Man, that's funny.
And then, on the opposite ofthat, they have the Winnie the
Pooh murder movie, where he's apsycho killer killing everybody.
But no, check out.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
That's what's funny.
Throughout the last couple ofyears, since that Pooh murder
movie came out, everybody,whenever something comes public
domain, they're like oh, isthere going to be a Popeye
murder one now?
And I think, somebody did makea trailer.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
Well, they got the Popeye.
He's coming out as a movie, butthe Rock's playing him.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
Oh my gosh no really no, oh, no way yeah yeah, well,
anybody can make it now.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
It's public domain.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Maybe I'll make it.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
What is?
Ah man, Well, I love the Rock,but what is his problem with
that stuff?
Speaker 1 (39:23):
What other people have it?
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Does he have to be Popeye?
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
So the questions to the listeners out there is does
Dwayne have to be Popeye?
Speaker 1 (39:37):
I don't like it when the same actors or actresses
play like a million differentmovies in a year.
I don't like that when the sameactors or actresses play like a
million different movies in ayear.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
I don't like that.
Give other people chances.
It's like Robin Williams whenhe played Popeye it was one and
done.
He was out.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
He was playing that crap If something horrific
happens or a scandal happenswith that one celebrity and you
have them tagged to all thesefreaking movies.
You're going to really regretthat.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
How much better would Conor McGregor as Popeye be?
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Oh my gosh, that would be cool, man.

So how was your guys' NewYear's?
Ours was fun.
We played games and listened tomusic and had food and
basically just waited for theyear to change, and it was again
(02:48):
pleasantly uneventful.
We did the whole sweep of anice, calm holiday season and I
couldn't really be more happyabout that.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
There was no cars getting exploded or anything, or
gunshots.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Oh, there's plenty of gunshots.
It was definitely that when theyear went off, it was probably
man.
Maybe two to three hoursafterwards they were still going
yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Mine was pretty okay.
There was no eggnog incident.
Yes Whoa, we broke the two-yearcurse.
He said you know what?
You're having one eggnog.
That's it.
We're going to play it safethis year and had the leftover
treats from Christmas dessertsand had some New Year's Day.
(03:34):
We had like those littlecocktail sausages and we had
meatballs and different stuffnice, nice, nothing big, just
counted down the night beforeand everything, different stuff,
nice, nice, you know nothingbig, you know.
Just we'll count it down thenight before and everything.
Speaker 3 (03:51):

Do you stay awake the wholetime?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Oh, yeah, yeah, I think this is the first year I
actually thought about that,because a friend, pauly from the
Greenwood Boys, is in Irelandand they're eight hours ahead of
us, so it's like, well, man, hewould have celebrated his, you
know, when it was four o'clockin the afternoon here.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Now, speaking of that , did you guys watch throughout
the day the New Year's turningin the countries around the
world?
Like the different celebrations?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
No, I missed that.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Hands down.
They did it, hands down.
The best, even over us, is inDubai.
Holy cow, man, they got theworld's largest LED screen.
It's 2,163 feet.
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness,oh my goodness.
And the countdown started on thebottom, man, and worked its way
(05:12):
up to the peak of this building, this tower, and the fireworks
just start pouring out of thebuilding.
Man, it looked like an infernaland then, like all these
digital, it was kind of likeknow the spear in Vegas?
You guys seen how the videosare inside?
Yeah, it's like like giantpeople, like DJs are like on the
(05:33):
, on the, on the LED screens,and the music did sound familiar
to me, man, because you knowlike DJs have certain styles and
you kind of like you pick up onit.
Well, on the very top of thattower is everything was going
off.
Man was the DJ from Amsterdam,armin van Buren, and he played
(05:54):
at the very top of this towerand he put the camera and
pointed it down and, man, it'slike so high and he's out in the
open, but it was so cool, man,because horses were running
across the tower, dragons arelike, coming up the led screens,
and it went on for damn near anhour and I was like, how many
(06:16):
fireworks does this apartmentbuilding hold?
Man, like it's crazy, it'scrazy.
You gotta think the peopleliving inside the building gotta
be like what the hell's goingon.
You know like when's this stuffstopping?
But jesus.
And then the funniest thing youknow like chicago, you'd think
(06:37):
they would have a bigger likesetup.
You know like new york, but itdoesn't, man.
And you get all new y Yorkstuff on TV and then you get 29
minutes of Chicago.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
And Chicago.
It used to be big but, like yousaid, the last couple of years,
especially this year, they justshow that, like the news,
people in a, like a club orsomething, clubbing and stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Right now say, well, let's go to the salt club and
then there'll be a host and hiswife there and then it'll be
like let's go over to this cluband there'll be two more news
people and the husband wastrying to get his wife drunk
like come on, drink eight shotsof tequila dude.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I saw that he's what this one guy was getting this
woman to like.
Just she was downing.
He's like come on, come on,come on.
I'm like, is it are we watchingabuse?
What's going on here?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I believe that's what it was, yeah when it turns out
that last year she couldn'tdrink because she was pregnant
because, yeah, the guy sheco-host with is her husband, so
he took all the shots for her.
So this year he said that she'dhave to make it up.
And then they they said she canonly do four because of her
height difference compared towhat he is.
(07:47):
But man, it's shit.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
At the one club, valerie Warner, who's on Channel
7, she was in this hot dressand stuff and she had to add
something to her because she wasgrinding with these guys.
I'm like holy, I was ready tocover Jimmy's eyes Like oh my
God was grinding with these guys.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I'm like holy, I was like ready to cover Jimmy's eyes
, like, oh my God, come on.
The big act that they showed onTV was some guy dancing around
in a Dunkin' Donuts cup and thecup's just dancing.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
That looks like the most poor ass stuff.
I don't know how if Chicago'sthat bad off with the money that
they can't spend on anythingbut a Dunkin' Donuts costume.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Or that's what they trust to be able to safely go
off without, you know, a lot ofBob showing up and beating the
living shit out of everybody insight.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
And then they kept telling him Dunkin' Donuts cup,
turn around, turn around,because he's got more stuff on
his back and the guy's just likejust dancing.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I'm telling you, you, they were all grinding like it
was adult theme.
I'm like Jesus.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Christ man.
And then, not too far from myhouse, probably about 10 minutes
, is Whiting and they have thepierogi drop and they tried that
for the first time last yearand the news they cut over to it
, the show dropping.
Did you see that, jim?
Last year the big pierogi wasall lit up and it went like two
inches and broke.
I live TV man.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Oh my God, why didn't you fail?
What'd they do this year?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
They did nothing.
Nothing on TV.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
They couldn't fix it One year they couldn't fix it.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
You used to have Ryan Seacrest host New York.
Now he's in Vegas.
Well, it was Dick.
Clark before that Right, butthey still call it the Dick
Clark Rockin' New Years, butthey took it to Vegas and left
all the nobodies.
I'm sorry, I have nothingagainst, but like all the acts
that were on TV for the New York, I had to have a translator on
(09:45):
the TV because it was allSpanish, like some guy named
Cabo.
Who's Cabo?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You don't know, man, you're not on the hip side.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You don't know all that stuff.
And then every chick had somelike painted-on suit and they
could barely squat down the damp.
They'd rip their ass out.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
It's a vulgar New Year's.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, and then on the other side of the stage that
they did in the air was like theJonas Brothers name people and
I'm like, well, how come wedidn't get that?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I think big name celebrities are probably like
staying inside and like they'reall scared to go out and stuff
because all the craziness hashappened this last two years.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I love watching Earth Cam, love watching it.
You can go anywhere around theworld and just watch live what's
going on.
And I was showing Karen becauseshe's never seen EarthCam and
they don't sponsor us oranything, but I showed her
Bourbon Street in New Orleansand then, like no later than 20
minutes after I shut that off,that psycho went crazy and
(10:45):
killed all the people right inthe front of that camera.
Man, oh my God, yeah, fifteenpeople.
He killed man, and I'm like youlucked out, man, I see that I
don't know, yeah, and like thatwould have like really messed me
up.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah, seconds into the new year.
You're like what's the point?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
seconds into the new year you're like what's the
point?
They said not to be funny.
But they said, nah, I'm gonnasay, man, I'm gonna take the
mood down in the show and Idon't want to take the mood down
.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Well, for our countdown, jimmy was playing
Animal Crossing on the Switchand they do a live countdown
every year on that and he wasjust with the other villagers
like cheering and setting offfireworks and stuff.
I'm like oh, that's the way tokick it.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, it's innocent.
You're playing video games andyou're with, hopefully, friends
that you're with on the game Ifyou're playing live with other

love hearing the the livereactions.
So let me drop the first onehere.
The human body glows.
(12:58):
Humans emit a small amount oflight that's too faint for the
human eyes to see, okay, butwhat sees it though?
I don't know.
It's probably the infraredstuff.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Oh that small amount of light that's too faint for
the human eyes to see.
Okay, but what?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
sees it, though I don't know, it's probably the
infrared stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Oh, I thought when you're in love, that's when you
see the glow that could be.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Or you're Rick James and you got an orange aura
Dragon.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Oh yeah, what he's like yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:21):

Speaker 1 (13:51):
That one is so funny man.
Oh my god, I love that.
I got into Rick James for alittle while.
It was like a big window.
My former friend at work saidyou gotta listen to it.
I go, eh, I'll never listen toRick James.
When and I finally did, I waslike, oh my god, this is awesome
.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Oh he's so funky, yeah kind of like uh, the bgs,
where people kind of make fun ofthe bgs a lot, but you listen
to their music, it's like andit's some of the best stuff ever
made yeah, you gotta.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
You just gotta have an older like kind of
appreciation or stuff, and yougotta, after listening to the
music nowadays, you got to startdiving into different genres
from the past, and just that'swhat I've been doing, that's for
sure I mean, how can you like,uh, not like, how deep is your
love by the bgs man?
Speaker 3 (14:39):
you're driving down the street listening to that,
wiping your eyes, man, you know.
And then I have to ask my wifeyeah, how many hooks in that
same song?
Speaker 4 (14:49):
you mean, how many killer?
How many killer hooks in thatsame song?
And he just keeps laying themon you so moving, moving on.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
A day on earth used to be 22 hours, so wait, how
long ago was that?
It's a couple millions a yearoh, so it's going to stay.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
What the heck man wait?
What how?
Earth's rotation was faster,making days shorter so now it's
slower, so shouldn't it be likewhen is it going to be like
slower again to where we getlike 26 hours in a day or
something?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
yeah, that means our work days are going to be longer
.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah, but that more time to do stuff you know you
don't have to work that longthat's more sleep maybe.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Imagine being at small market for 12 hours.
No, no, no, I don't think aboutthat.
Hey, the holiday season's overman, you should be think about
that.
Hey, the holiday season's overman, you should be happy about
that.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
No, because the stuff's still coming in.
All the people's crap.
I didn't want that.
I broke that.
You have to pee on it.
Thanks a lot.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
You got the same pair of shoes as an excuse and they
brought back the dirty pair.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, or they'll vacuum up like dog crap and then
like, oh, bring it back to thestore and then just leave the
crap or the stuff inside thevacuum.
And I'm like what the hell, man?
Everybody wonders why we're socranky over there.
Why don't you come over hereand work for an hour and see how
you?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
No, I don't know I don't wonder.
Here we go.
Blue whales are louder than jetengines.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Well, yeah, because their bodies are so big, I'd
believe that their lungs and allthat, and their sound.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
It says the blue whale can reach a decibel of 188
, whereas a jet engine can onlypeak at 140.
Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
If it's next to you, it'll break your lungs or
something, won't it, I think?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
yeah, they said you can hear them for miles if I
drove this.
They said you can hear them formiles if you're underwater and
you can hear.
That would be spooky.
Well, the scuba diving for thefirst time and you're like what?
What you know?
You realize there's a reasonwhy you shouldn't be there.
And then my ex-girlfriend swimsby man is it's like?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Because you can't swim.
I don't know why people loveswimming in the water and saying
that I mean you're in theirdomain and you can't get away
fast enough.
There's no human can get awayfast enough from something down
there.
Exactly, people are like Istill got to go.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
How about?
The biggest great white sharkthey found is 24 feet.
They call it big blue and, uh,the girl that swims with it's
only five, five and she justattaches on and goes swimming
with it.
She's like swimming in front ofthem, under her arm, and I'm
like, nah, when you see, likethe helicopter view down into
(17:47):
like the crystal clear, likewater, dude, it's like the size
of its head and I'm like why,man?
All right, so you know, ourfriends and our family members,
the bananas.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Remember Jim.
They shared 60% of our DNA.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Oh, I thought they came down the stairs in pajamas.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
No, so they are radioactive, bananas are.
Oh yeah, they are I saw a teampotassium negative 40, which is
a radioactive isotope ofpotassium, and they said eating
six bananas in a row could bedeadly.
(18:28):
Wow, like one after the otherbecause that's too much
radiation.
It's really weird.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
I went to the dentist last time.
They had a chart on the wallbecause everybody freaks out
about the lead vest when theytake photos of your teeth and
they had a chart to where thebanana was just underneath the
x-rays or like you're checkingfor your teeth, and they had a
chart to where the banana wasjust under or underneath the uh
like x-rays and stuff.
Like you're checking for yourteeth and camp pictures and they
show like stuff that you dealwith like microwaves and that's
(18:58):
worse than uh, getting yourteeth looked at and everything
that x-rays and that.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Wow, but I did see a banana on the chart I mean
there's people there's, likeathletes out there, that have
seven, eight bananas at a clip,you know, and they blend them up
with the spring water and whatyou know, like the parkour dude
Tim Sheep, I know he says if hedoesn't have at least seven or
eight bananas he gets upset.
That could be universal.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
He needs his fix of radiation.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Right, he's radioactive guy.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
All right, this is crazy the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Anybody know how long it took to make or build 2,000
years.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
You're so close, it's 199.
199 years, it says.
It started leaning as soon asthe construction started.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Oh, they kept going and they kept going.
Then you get halfway up orsomething, aren't you like?
Shouldn't we restart this orfix that guy?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
no, keep going it's like you know they would look at
him, be like did scott buildthat?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
and things more crooked than a politician, uh,
or if the, or if the guy lookingat it on ground saying it's,
it's, no, I don't believe him.
He's never right and they justkeep going.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
It'll even out eventually.
I told you it was leaning.
The other side will go down too.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Your stomach gets a new lining every few days.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I heard that too.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
It says it protects it from digesting itself from
acid.
Like where's the?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
oh, nevermind, I know we're getting all your cells
and everything else, and thatall changes, so you're like a
new person.
Every uh can't remember howmany years your whole body is
different.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Well, I feel different than I did.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I feel old man, just well where you live I, I I feel
old man.
Well, where you live, I'd feeldifferent too.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
I know I've had a bad stomach since I was probably 19
years old, so I can definitelygo for that.
I understand that.
I don't know if you've everheard of this.
You know I have what's calledan open sphincter muscle.
Obviously there's one.
You know what the obvious oneis?
Well, there's the other one,like right where your stomach is
(21:10):
, where your, you know, your,whatever your esophagus, where
your food goes down into yourstomach and when you eat food it
closes up around your food.
Where mine doesn't close, itstays open, and so when I eat
food I don't digest properly, ithover, yeah, back it's, yeah,
it's a pain in the, in the buttman I've been dealing with it
(21:31):
for a long time, literally, yeah, yeah, I was gonna say
literally.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
I was wording that as jim said it.
This one's a little bitbaffling to me.
Okay, so you can see your noseall the time, but your brain
ignores it to focus on moreimportant things.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I believe it.
It has to.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
If I get too hammered , I feel like that's when I
start to get sick, is when Istart looking at my own nose.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Because people have habits and if they feel
something on them they'll startitching or something until
they're bleeding and stuff.
I can imagine your brain seeingyour nose all the time and
running into things like oh,this one would really piss me
off.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Some people can hear their eyeballs moving.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Oh, no way.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
It's a rare condition called Superior Canal Dyspnea
Syndrome.
They can actually hear as theymove their eyes, man, it sounds
like a boat creaking.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Now can they hear other stuff, Like real far away
or something real small makingnoise.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I think it's just the stuff that's inside the head.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Oh okay, oh man, that's like some Brandon Stimpy
type stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
You'd always hear somebody following you, but it's
really your eyes moving, man.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
It could be what you ate.
It's like traveling down yourstomach.
You're like who's that, who'sthat?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
All right, there is a species of ant that can explode
.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
I think I've heard of that.
I think I have heard of that.
I think I have heard of that.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
The Colobus's Saunders ant sacrifices itself
by rupturing and releasing thetoxic goo.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Ah I was wondering if it had anything to do with the
uncle.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Between the last couple things we talked about.
Does that not sound like an oldschlock movie Fucking open
sphincter and the toxic goo?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
yeah, what'd you guys talk about?
Open sphincters and and toxicgoo.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Yeah, it sounds like the title of a scooby-doo
cartoon sphincter and toxic gooand the toxic goo.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
oh god, just got an x rating, now Great.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah, Now how the hell do people know this?
Butterflies can remember beingcaterpillars.
It's their transformation.
They retain some memory.
How do?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
you know, how do you freaking know that they don't
ask it?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
They got good word in the butterfly community.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
We've been asked a million of them.
We know what they mean.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Survey in the bushes says by the myrtle flies I, I
think, maybe they.
They think because of themigration which they have, the
same butterflies flying aroundthat came from mexico all the
way up to here and then to flyall the way back to life
expectancy isn't.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
They just might have good GPS, like a bat or
something you know.
That's like those people thatsay that counselors for the dogs
or something they hear, or catsor something they say, well,
he's stressed out, he don't like.
When you do this, it's like howare you talking to the pet?
They just smell.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
On the last fact show I said sloths can breathe
longer than dolphins.
They can hold their breathunderwater longer.
So I was watching, doing myresearch, like we do here at the
Powerspoint Studio, and Iwatched this boat out in the
ocean.
They had seen something and itwas a sloth swimming in the
(25:08):
ocean, just cruising man.
It moved faster in the waterthan it does on land.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
What I want to see, so I'm going to look that up now
.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Hey, have you also seen when the Russians they'd
seen something weird like aperiscope in the water.
So when they pulled the boat upit was a freaking elephant
swimming and they was just sothey picked it off the water man
and brought it up on the, butit was miles and miles away from
(25:41):
shore could you imagine, withthe sloths, if it was like they
nobody knew that really it was asecret thing and they were like
so slow on landing.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
You're like, oh, we're not going to other animals
and people, we're not going tomess with them.
They get in the water andthey're like they're like
missiles and yeah, they golightning speeds and stuff.
That'd be hilarious.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Okay, here you go.
You're taller in the morningthan at night.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
That's true.
I've heard that because yourbody is laid out and it's uh
gravity isn't pulling youstraight down like and
compressing you like it doeswhen you're standing yeah, it
says your spine compressesthroughout the day, so you're
probably like six, eight, yeah,right right.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
So would you be taller than after coming out of
a pool if you were floating?
Because that's what they, youknow, like people with bad backs
, they have you float in a pool.
If you can, to like, line yourdisc back up and whatnot, would
that work the same way?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I think it'd have to be a couple hours or something.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Yeah, it might have to be a couple hours.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Yeah, and if you're somebody in the in the, in the
water for a couple hours been.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, that's when your body resorts to like making
your fingers, like yourfingerprints, and that rise up
so you can like, it's like aprimal thing here's a not only
facts, but I got some factuallaws too.
All right, oh believe it or not?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
And our wives would appreciate this.
In Samoa, it's illegal toforget your wife's birthday.
Yeah, now what's the punishment, though I don't know man, I
think I'd take the punishment.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, wait a minute.
What about Rob?
It's a good point.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I think in Samoa it's a female president.
Oh, in Somalia it's a president, a female president.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Oh, you know what?
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Can we stop that, especially with the number of
sensitive men these days?
Come on, man In.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Switzerland, flushing the toilet after 10pm is
considered noise pollution.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Depends on who's going.
If somebody's real whisperquiet, they can pinch one out,
but if it's old dad or uncle joeor something it's going to be
like and not flushing may be adifferent kind of pollution.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
These are real facts.
In Canada, it's illegal toscare the queen.
I don't think they have anyissues with that at the moment.
But All right, wow, what wasthis?
In Arizona, donkeys can't sleepin bathtubs.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
So there was a problem.
It was an ongoing issue thatthey had to make a law.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
I say, as they shouldn't.
This is wrong when that goes on.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Somebody said this is getting out of hand.
We got to handle this right now, Come on.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Or at least make them bigger, for them Come on.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
What do you guys think about this one?
In England it's illegal tohandle a salmon suspiciously.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I would ask the Bobby , I would say what is your
definition of suspiciously?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
My male member is not stuck in the fish.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
We don't like how you're petting that fish.
Would you put it down About toget citation?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Cows produce more milk when listening to relaxing
music.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I bet that's fact, because you just let it all flow
.
They're like oh, this is sopeaceful.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
That's why I got Beethoven playing in the
bathroom, just let things flow.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
What do you suppose they prefer?
Because they have to have apreference.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, they should try different artists.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Yeah, like Enya, that'd be what they'd be into.
Maybe I already think they likecountry music because it feels
like home to them.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Different moods of a kind.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Yeah, alright, last one, guys.
The inventor of the microwavegot the idea when a chocolate
bar melted in his pocket.
I'll repeat the inventor of themicrowave got the idea when a
chocolate bar melted in hispocket, my God.
I'll repeat the inventor of themicrowave got the idea when a
chocolate bar melted in hispocket.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Hmm, he was like wait , if I heat this up.
Then he was like probablyfiguring out how to heat things
up and stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Dude.
One last one.
It just ran across the screen.
Uh-oh, it smells like rotteneggs due to hydrogen sulfide.
Talking to planet.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Oh, it also depends on what you eat.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
That's all I got for these more facts, and we really
hope we educated you here alittle bit Wait wait, hold on,
hold on.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Did you guys have you heard about Public Domain Day,
january 1st Just happened?
No, they have a list of movies,books, music and other stuff
that comes into public domain,with the years Okay, so this is
every 1950?
No, oh, no, this was Ifanything was made before 1978,
(30:44):
it takes 95 years, okay, andanything after 1978 takes 70
years for movies, okay, and thenbooks are like 70 years.
It's a whole bunch of differentwith different types, but this
year the big ones that came outare more Mickey Mouse cartoons.
After Steamboat Willie, theSkeleton Dance with the Disney
(31:06):
they always show the skeletonsdancing.
That's public domain.
Now Popeye is public domain.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Oh nice.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Tintin is public domain.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Already.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Yeah, I don't know if it's the first incarnation of
him.
I don't think you could use thelater ones if they copyrighted
it, but I think it said 10-10.
The Marx Brothers movie theCoconuts.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah, hey, I'll be right back.
Hold on, keep talking, Keeptalking.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
No problem, and they have a bunch of books too, and
three of the main books I sawwas the Maltese, balkan and
Farewell to Arms.
I think Hemingway did that oneand All Quiet on the Western
Front oh wow.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
I just saw the thumbnail for that movie and I
was telling my dad about thatthat we watched that movie in
high school.
How depressing was that movieman to have to sit there and do
a report on it.
John Boy from the on it andeverything.
John Boy from the Waltons andeverything.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I remember a history class and our teacher in middle
school and high school had WorldWar II photo movies like real
movies and stuff yeah, with thebodies and stuff, and it was
freaking horrific the footage wewere watching.
Yeah, I couldn't believe it,glory.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
They definitely had some stuff that was a little
more emotional bodies and stuffand it was like freaking
horrific the footage we werewatching yeah, that's that's.
I couldn't believe it likeglory it was.
You know, they definitely hadsome stuff that was a little
more emotional than what I'd bewatching on my own.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
That's yeah but these are public domains.
If, uh, we want to get creative, we can like last year was
winnie the pooh and stuff, orwas it two years ago winnie the
pooh?
I think yes, years ago.
Steamboat will was last year.
So we can get creative with thePowers Point podcast and use
some of these public domains,right.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Now I always wonder can they, can they re copyright
those?
Is there a law you know?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
and then I don't know , I don't think once they go
public domain, I'm not sure.
Right, that's real cool thatthey have, because it used to be
shorter time, I think, formovies.
But I think Disney kept pushingback Mickey Mouse.
They didn't want to ruin theirwhole company.
They were like paying a lot ofmoney to get it in court to like
(33:11):
stretch it out, and theycouldn't wait any longer.
They finally now they're justdropping more and more.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Now they're trying to ruin the company in a different
way.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
I don't know.
Yeah, that's pretty much theworld, but that's ridiculous.
It's pretty interesting withthat public domain stuff.
Yeah, I think it'spublicdomainorg or something
like that, but it you can lookup and they have a whole library
of stuff and you can just startwatching anything you want or
(33:40):
using it.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
I guess you just wonder how people are going to
use it.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
And I think hold on.
I had a picture Next year, Ithink is.
Who was next year?
Hmm, crud Gosh, dang it.
You know I need a new phone now.
This is ridiculous.
Am I going to be on thePowerspoint podcast and then get
kicked off?
Huh, oh, this was supposed tobe good radio.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
I thought that was the next thing we were doing was
the radio.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Oh, here it is.
His script took over my thing.
Okay, next year is Betty Boopand Pluto Wow, and I don't know
if 27 might have stuff.
But 2028 is Goofy.
2029 is Donald Duck and KingKong oh nice and then all the
(34:29):
way to 2032 is like Snow Whiteand the Seven Dwarfs that's
definitely getting interestingnow yeah, because then in the
2030s it's going to be likeCaptain America, superman,
batman, bugs, bunny, wonderWoman and all that it's going to
start.
all the famous ones are going tobe like Captain America,
superman, batman, bugs, bunny,wonder Woman and all that it's
going to start.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
all the famous ones are going to start dropping
stuff.
Yeah, I think they'll havesomething figured out by then
the way they can keep a hold ofthose Exactly.
There'll be some new loophole.
I don't see them giving up allthose when it comes to the
superheroes and stuff.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Maybe we can make t-shirts or something that have
or a 10, 10 with the powerspoint podcast, or Popeye logo
with the powers point podcast.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Yeah, that is a thing .
Yeah, I guess that would beuseful.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Scott is a Popeye connoisseur.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
No, I think I get a kick out of Popeye.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Well, I didn't like the later years when they had uh
the like, the later years whenthey had uh the little baby had
more prominent role, or they hadthe big, uh, the goons and
stuff.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
Yeah, it's the goon.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah, those were, those were wild I kind of like
the older black or white blackand white ones.
With the on the ship theshutter doors were like slamming
and stuff.
Those are the ones I like, theoriginals.
But when popeye and blutostarted being friends, just like
tom and jerry, I was like I, Idon't like this anymore.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
Oh right, I actually.
I don't know if I remember themever being friends.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Or they would like work together and stuff.
I'm like, no, you're supposedto be.
Like yeah, Bluto was supposedto come, and like feed the crap
out of you and stuff.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Right Until he ate his spinach and then it was
payback time.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
I don't think I ever really got into Tintin too much.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
I'm not even really positive what Tintin is.
I remember Tintin from thecrows, the dude with the knives.
Other than that, I don't know.
It's hilarious.
Fire it up.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Tintin was like this little boy with the dog and
stuff and he would get onadventures, okay, and discovery
and all that.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
I think you could watch Tintin on Disney or in
Discovery and all that.
I think you can watch 1010 onDisney or Peacock.
No, Netflix has a 1010 movie.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
They still make them.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
It's pretty good.
Have you guys watched any goodmovies over the holiday break
from non-work days?
Speaker 4 (36:44):
Really, I can't remember the last movie I would
recommend to anybody period.
But that's just me.
My mind wanders and I have ahard time paying attention to
movies.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
The last one I saw was at a—see.
I watch old ones.
I watched Strangers on a Train.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Where they—the old black and white one where they
try to get one guy tries to getthe other one to murder his
father, I think, and the otherone he murdered a wife or
something, and they just mettheir strangers on a train.
It's really thrilling and stuff.
And the ending scene is likecrazy, the ending.
It's worth the whole thing justto see the ending.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Before Disney lost its.
You were talking about publicdomain before I had to take off
for a sec.
They lost their copyright toWinnie the Pooh.
So right before they lost itthey made a movie called
Christopher Robin.
I don't know if you guys haveseen this movie.
I heard about it.
It's Ewan McGregor, so Obi-WanKenobi, and it shows him playing
(37:47):
as Christopher Robin.
It's a live action in theHundred Acre Woods with Winnie
the Pooh in that.
And then Christopher Robin wentback home and then the boys
board in school and and then, ashe progressed through the World
War I and married and has hiskids, Winnie the Pooh finally
(38:07):
figures out Christopher Robinain't coming back oh my god and
so Christopher Robin, or Winnie,wonders what the tree is that
Christopher Robin went throughand where does it go?
so him Tigger and Rue, or Piglet, he went through the tree is
that Christopher Robin wentthrough and where does it go?
So him, tigger and Rue orPiglet, they went through the
tree and they came out in liveaction.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Dude, it's so good I gotta recommend it.
Man, that's funny.
And then, on the opposite ofthat, they have the Winnie the
Pooh murder movie, where he's apsycho killer killing everybody.
But no, check out.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
That's what's funny.
Throughout the last couple ofyears, since that Pooh murder
movie came out, everybody,whenever something comes public
domain, they're like oh, isthere going to be a Popeye
murder one now?
And I think, somebody did makea trailer.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
Well, they got the Popeye.
He's coming out as a movie, butthe Rock's playing him.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
Oh my gosh no really no, oh, no way yeah yeah, well,
anybody can make it now.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
It's public domain.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Maybe I'll make it.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
What is?
Ah man, Well, I love the Rock,but what is his problem with
that stuff?
Speaker 1 (39:23):
What other people have it?
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Does he have to be Popeye?
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
So the questions to the listeners out there is does
Dwayne have to be Popeye?
Speaker 1 (39:37):
I don't like it when the same actors or actresses
play like a million differentmovies in a year.
I don't like that when the sameactors or actresses play like a
million different movies in ayear.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
I don't like that.
Give other people chances.
It's like Robin Williams whenhe played Popeye it was one and
done.
He was out.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
He was playing that crap If something horrific
happens or a scandal happenswith that one celebrity and you
have them tagged to all thesefreaking movies.
You're going to really regretthat.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
How much better would Conor McGregor as Popeye be?

Oh my gosh, that would be cool, man.
