The F Plus - 19: So Far I Have Not Found The Science
Episode Date: March 23, 2010To start this episode off, we took a look at the popular television show Mythbusters, or to be more specific: Fans of Mythbusters who have odd predilictions for things that happen on the show. Th...en we ended up getting distracted by one Mythbuster's fan comic strip called Conquistodogs. And finally, we read the twitter page of someone who likes The F Plus.

Hey folks, this is the F Plus Podcast.
Terrible Things, Red With Enthusiasm.
My name's Lemon.
And I'm John.
And, hey John, do you watch the show Mythbusters at all?
Yes, I do actually.
I've caught it from time to time.
It's one of those shows that I wouldn't hunt out
on its regular airing date with new episodes,
but, you know, you turn on the TV,
it's on, and you've got something else to do while
that's on. Why not?
It's a weird combination of good and bad because
I think that the
underpinning idea of the concept
or idea of the show, rather,
it's fun. It's interesting.
And then there's just so much
crappy production value, like that
annoying narrator.
Yeah. This this time he got
more than he bargained for
exactly yeah that's awful
but anyway so there's the
there's the girl in it right
yeah
they've had a number of them
some girl I don't know
yeah but there's like the main girl
that's just kind of like jumping up and down and being cute and that sort of thing um but anyway i was i was watching
an episode and they were doing something that didn't make any sense which is that they were
like shooting a gun while moving their hands and then that was supposed to make the bullet actually
curved trajectory right yeah but But the point of it
is, and this is just sort of how
F Plus has worked my mind, is that
I'm
watching this episode, and
I'm seeing a pregnant woman
shooting a pistol,
and I'm going, oh, fuck, there's people on the internet
jerking off to this.
Yeah, pretty much. That's basically how it
goes down. Well, well, the thing
is, what I was thinking, and when you brought up that
this was a topic, I'm like, oh,
that show, yeah, I like it, alright.
And then I realized, oh, wait, so
for one thing, it's got a really nerdy fanbase, which, you know,
isn't necessarily bad on its own. It can
lead to something, but, you know,
I mean, you know, Star Trek has
a weird, nerdy fanbase, but it's not necessarily
like perverted. That's still worth not necessarily, like, perverted.
That's still worth an episode, though, but yeah.
Yeah, well, you know, but it'd be more like, ha-ha, look at these nerds, than, you know, anything really veering into deviant territory, for the most part.
Then I realized, oh, this was a show on cable television, on, you know, pretty much general broadcast television for the most part
that featured a girl farting in an episode.
And I'm like, I see why this topic was chosen.
I want to tell you something before we get started here is that we had a two-week break from recording
for various reasons.
And so coming back into it, I think we all got a little anxious and this episode sort of ended up as a
clusterfuck.
So we're going to be breaking this down into three sections.
The first of us will be getting to in just a second is Mythbusters fan site.
And then two others after it.
For this first section,
what we have is the official forums of the Mythbusters,
which unfortunately they've removed some of the more deviant posts, which is unfair of them, really.
I mean, come on.
Yeah, for us.
Look out for us.
Yeah.
For us.
But on the other side of that, what's interesting is that they take out the more deviant, the worst ones. But the fact that what they left in was the best stuff,
that they had to take out the first thing,
the stuff that's left in is still as bad as it is,
is pretty great.
Yeah.
Alright, so let's get to our readers
and yeah, let's find out about Mythbusters fans.
Enjoy this messed up clusterfuck of an episode.
We did. I hope you will.
In the room tonight, we havecer Echowaddle.
Honey, I'm gonna bust your myth.
Boots, Reimgear.
Flatulence.
Flatulence.
Flatulence.
Buddy Bread.
Fuck this gay internet.
For John.
I'm a conquista dog.
Yes!
Conquista dog, conquista dog.
Jack check.
For John.
Come quads up.
I true do dogs farting.
Oh.
And lemon.
Okay, what we're going to explore in this podcast is how people write things.
Let's get to it. Okay, who wants the first of a couple conversations about farting?
Oh man, I'm not saying fart.
I'm not saying fart.
Everybody jumps up for some farts.
Boots, boots, warts, farts.
Farts, rain gear.
The San Francisco tree.
All right, let's try to just do Kind of alphabetical
Is this the one about the favorite Carrie moment
Or something else
Yeah what's your favorite Carrie moment
I've seen this show
Like a total of four times
And I think I've seen the one where they
They were
It was like the myth of do women fart?
Of course they don't!
Duh!
You know, I want you to know something,
and you're going to probably find that out in this thread, I think.
But you're lucky
for having seen that.
Because, you see, the
myth is actually called
do pretty girls fart?
Which is really
just offensive to me.
Like any of us have ever been close to a pretty girl.
That's pretty much
just straight up, we're giving some guys
with a fetish a gimme here.
It's like, do balloons give you a boner?
It didn't air in America, it only aired
in Canada, and the American fans are not
happy about that.
Oh, wow.
Congratulations, Canada.
That's what they think of you.
They thought you were the proper demographic for this.
So I probably saw it because it's aired constantly on Discovery Canada.
It's the only thing that shows...
You're watching the Mythbusters farting channel!
Hope you're still jerking!
It's the only thing that shows on Discovery Canada.
Next on Ow My Butt.
All right.
Like that one.
So Acer, start it out.
What is your favorite Carrie moment?
Was it Son of a Gun?
The James Bond
special? Tell us
your favorite Carrie episode.
Please include episode name.
Thank you.
I'd have to say either
Killer Brace Position because of the moment
when she looked at the camera
and apologized to her parents for doing something
dumb again. Or
Crimes and Myth Dem demeanors, too,
when she tried to beat the alarm in the chicken suit.
Hang on just a second.
Then with the sheet, that was pure sex comedy.
Comedy.
I'd just like to point out that Bunny Bread has a very poor understanding of the alphabet.
Oh, shit.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Boo. That, shit. I'm sorry.
That's okay. I have an excellent one here.
No way, because his butts ring here.
You do have a good one.
This is actually a very good one.
H-I-J-K-L-O-M-N-U-O-P
I don't know, but
there have been some funny things.
Oh.
You're a good conversationalist.
Oh, God. I like funny things. Oh, you're a good conversationalist. Oh, God.
I like funny things.
They're funny.
And his username is Myth838.
836.
Yeah, don't get him wrong.
838 is
actually a really interesting guy. Don't knock him out.
I bet he's the kind of guy
that's like, where do you want to eat? Someplace with food.
Let's go to a place with food.
Okay, so this
is Gaja9.
Is there
a Best of Carrie plan or something?
Well,
I would like to see the
Do Pretty Girls Fart Myth
finally air.
Oh, no pun intended.
I always like the
little moments of her dancing.
Mythbusters revealed
air cylinder rocket.
They're rare, but I think she might
have rhythm. Can't say the
same for Adam.
Very smiley face.
And next we have Jelly smiley face. And next
we have Jelly Belly Boy and
he says, is it possible
to jump into a pool of jelly beans? Just
wondering.
He just thought he'd throw that
out there.
I've got to get a one-shot
in my head, I think.
Is it possible to jump into a pool
of semen? Just wondering. I'm just a jerk-off boy. Is it possible to jump into a pool of semen?
I'm just wondering.
I like the idea that on November 17th of last year,
he joined the forums and posted that in about 7,000 different places in hopes of getting a response.
Is it? Is it?
Is it possible to jump into a pool of jelly beans?
I really like jelly beans.
In Mythbusters Revealed, I think,
they showed some footage of her doing animal imitations.
Funniest thing I'd seen in a long time.
Did she bark like a dog?
Good.
Oh, well, don't worry, guys.
Max Man's here to keep the peace.
Let me redo the line, then.
Is it possible to jump into a pool of jelly beans?
Just wondering.
Don't hijack threads!
This isn't even a suggestion.
It is a discussion about previous episodes.
I was just wondering, man. I'm sorry. a suggestion. It is a discussion about previous episodes.
I was just wondering, man.
I'm sorry.
Forum cop, forum cop.
I am God here.
You fucking line.
I don't know about you guys
and gals, but during the
catching a bullet in your teeth myth,
where Tori and Carrie went to check on the aftermath of shooting a bullet onto another bullet in the pig's jaw,
her reaction to the aftermath was just hysterical.
Then when Tori went to show her a tooth that was shot off, it got even more laughable.
Tori went to show her a tooth that was shot off,
it got even more laughable. Oh!
In fact, I think any time Carrie is visibly disturbed by dead animals
and that reaction is caught on camera is...
Oh, Jesus Christ!
What the fuck?
What the hell is wrong with people?
I love it when...
Her own safety.
If he got a date with this Carrie,
would he just take her around showing her roadkill?
We're going to go on a date to the butcher shop.
You know what I'd like to picture?
I'd like to picture Jelly Belly Boy coming back to this thread
and being like, man, you guys are weird.
I'm going to sit in my Jelly Billy bath and not
read this.
This is the
skunk that died under my arm.
In the HeadQuesters Pirate special,
when the build team was discussing
how the pirate-themed obstacle course worked,
Carrie said, and I quote,
They don't stab me!
I'm the good one!
Immediately after she said that, I thought to myself,
That's a matter of opinion there, Carrie.
Oh, gross!
Jesus!
Oh!
You've been a bad girl!
Now I've got to show you my sheep heads!
This will be like that famous Gorgoroth concert!
You'll be the crucified one I like that you thought that that was an accessible joke
That other people would get
You be quiet
No I think this is the kind of guy that
Like you're walking out of 7-Eleven and he comes up to you
And he's like you know taxidermy gets a bad rap
I bet
I'm gonna just go to my car
My favorite isn't like His favorite moment in the series Taxidermy gets a bad rap. I bet. I bet. I'm going to just go to my car. It's just fine.
My favorite isn't, like, you know,
his favorite moment in the series isn't something that actually happened.
It's something that happened in his head.
Yeah.
I made myself laugh when I talked about it.
In my mind, she dates me.
In the Ninja Myths episode,
when Tori asked who was going to
catch the sword with their bare hands,
Carrie's answer of
people say I'm not that
quick is hands down
my favorite.
A close second,
be very quiet, we're hunting
moss. In the
Willie Rolling Stone
Gather Moss myth.
Carrie at her most
uncomfortable during the
revisit of the
peeing on an electric fence
myth.
Slim Jim 548,
a connoisseur of what? I have no idea.
Love the rocket slsled segments.
Never gets old.
Carrie and the gang's reaction shots
are priceless.
Like Jamie.
I like Big Bang.
I do too, but I don't like to post about it in public.
Well, I don't do it in public.
Can't post in a nude in public.
They're abandoning any pretense
that this isn't turning them on, is it?
It's just all out here at this point.
Yeah.
And this is the scale back.
This is after all the other creepy posts
were deleted.
You know what, Lemon?
Lemon, the cream rises to the top.
And here we are.
Okay, this is bullet 6055.
My favorite was during the exploding house episode
where they were doing the plant growth experiment,
and so they had Carrie yelling profanity into a mic,
and then she turns to the camera with that award-winning smile
and yells, how was that?
Oh, that was hot. That's what
that was. It's all just
ridiculous minutia.
Yeah.
My favorite episode was the time
when they were cutting the commercial and you totally saw her
ankle. Hey, you know what you're seeing
here, guys? You're seeing the list
of Wikipedia contributors.
These are all the people that write
the trivia section on every page.
Okay, here's Keithel.
Ha ha, I thought
the one of her farting was classic.
She was so embarrassed, ha ha. Her fart sounded
funny also, ha ha.
Ha ha.
Ha ha, indeed.
Ha ha. funny also haha haha haha indeed haha haha
haha
well this is Gokin's men
he has to
say what about the
vodka filtration myth
everyone but Kerry correctly ordered
the vodkas in order of quality
cheap Brita filtered, and top shelf.
Upon getting them backwards, Carrie shrugs and says,
Wow, I guess I'm a cheap date.
Heh.
Oh, God.
Maybe I have a chance.
I have a bread filter
and
love comes
vodka and a smile
in my house love comes in a plastic
bottle baby
hands down
for me
I'm gonna pop off
terrible
hands down for me
is the James Bond special
If just for her and the white dress
with a riffle
Riffles have
rudges
I think it was a riffle
I haven't seen it recently
Riffles have ruggins.
Shots you buying a box of chips.
Riffle's supposed to be rifle.
No, it's not.
Clearly, if it was supposed to be rifle,
it would have been spelled rifle once.
Oh my god.
I thought it was like something on the dress.
No, no, no.
I felt like she was wearing
a Shakespearean ruffle there.
Yeah, it was a white dress with
some artistic wrinkles
in it or something.
Maybe he meant to say ripple
as she was wearing a white dress and had a bottle
of cheap wine. No, he's talking about
weaponess. Look, it's just
riffle, my niffle. Come on.
Alright, you know
what? There's not enough farting now.
You know what? Lemon, I
say that every podcast.
Okay. The funny
thing is the other inhabitants of
John's house do not say the same thing.
Yep.
Alright, I want to give number one of this to Jack Chick
and number two to Kumquat.
We can read past that, but the first
two are what matter.
So on the subject of death by
flatulation...
Aww.
Alright, so this is
Hastin R.
with a very, very important
observation.
The word is pronounced flatus, very important observation. The word is pronounced
flatus, not flattus,
you flatheads!
I checked two
dictionaries!
Please announce this on the show!
You've misled
thousands!
Millions!
You've found me for the last thousands! Illions! Illions! They've
followed me for the last time.
Oh, the decline of western civilization
starts here.
I gotta say that's a weird thing for Skeletor
to get up in arms about.
I'm just gonna add this to the innumerable list I arms about. I'm just going to add this
to the innumerable list I have of
things I want Brian Blessed to read.
Can we get him on the show?
Yeah, as soon as you said that
I was like, we have to find a way somehow
to get Brian Blessed
into our
podcast that only our friends...
All right, which one of you is going to fuck Brian Blessed?
No, it's easier than that.
All you have to do...
I was going to fuck him anyways.
No, seriously.
All you have to do is tell him he's doing a voiceover for Zeus.
He'll do anything if you say that.
He did that for a pinball game on the DS.
I mean, come on.
Hey, English teacher, shut up.
That wasn't even a big deal.
They mispronounced
a word.
Shut it.
What was wrong,
however, is that they didn't
test the lethality of breathing plus
farting at both the KOTU levels
and the mix of other gases
in Jamie's gas.
What?
What?
and the mix of other gases in Jamie's gas.
What? What?
They didn't put their nose right up to it.
Oh, my God.
Rod, it didn't have farts on TV.
Farts on film.
Oh.
Oh.
The fact is they went to high tech.
They should have gone low tech for that myth.
I've stunk up my bathroom plenty of times
and have to use matches to cover up the smell.
What?
No, it doesn't burn off gases,
but the much stronger smell of sulfur
does cover up the smell of the flair.
I'm not a surfer, but...
I suggest if you're ever worried about your friends following after you into the bathroom to light a match.
Years ago, when I was in engineering school, we had way too much time on our hands one Saturday night.
We also had a fraternity brother who was a flatus, common pronunciation, machine.
After consuming some adult beverage, we decided to investigate the phenomenon of flatus.
Shortly after lighting a match to cover the smell, someone wondered if F apostrophe RTS would burn.
We turned off the lights. The machine bent over.
When the time was right, or ripe,
a conveniently
placed lighter proved that, indeed,
intestinal gases are flammable.
The blue flame was diffused
by being strained through his briefs.
So, yes,
this is true. He dropped his drawers, and the experiment was repeated.
The length of the flame was rather impressive.
Unfortunately, there was a small complication.
The machine was particularly hairy in the nether regions.
As the pressure subsided on the gas stream,
the flame front followed.
The hairs on his apostrophe SS caught on fire.
No, apostrophe dollar sign dollar sign.
That's an asterisk
not an apostrophe. Yeah, you've got nothing right here.
Jeez. Listen to that
latest guy. He would take you to task for calling
that an apostrophe. Okay,
apostrophe dollar sign dollar sign caught on fire.
That's an asterisk.
Asterisk.
We all laughed so hard we were too weak to put him out.
The burns were not too bad.
The point I am trying to make is that the attempt to test whether the match masked the odor versus reduced it was not valid because there was no methane in the chambers.
The concentration of methane is higher than either of the sulfur-containing compounds, hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan
The combustion of the methane would greatly assist the removal of the odorous compounds
The acrid smell of safety matches is due to the burning of the antimony sulfide in the head of the match
By burning a match, you are substituting one sulfur as compound for another.
Is Adam up to the challenge of
replicating our experiment?
I don't know. It's not specific
because I don't know what the adult
beverage was.
It was woman's breast milk.
Of course.
How many parties
did you go to?
And he's talking about
asterisk.
And the asterisk's dollar sign, dollar sign.
There.
Hey, Star, you got a
flatus for your thinking method
of correcting pronunciation.
Burn?
I think?
Yeah.
Deal with it, bitch.
Okay.
So, there may be two different
ways of pronouncing this.
For example,
Americans pronounce aluminum
aluminum
and
Brits pronounce it Alu-min-ee-um.
And Leisure is Lee-zure, American style, and Lez-sure, Brit style.
Lez?
Sure, why not?
I got to say, you Americans have a very awkward way of
pronouncing aluminum as aluminum
yes
aluminum
don't knock that aluminum
leisure it's great stuff
that's how he spells it
aluminum
it's aluminum
aluminum
aluminum
who's to say who's right it depends
which dictionaries you're referring to as i'm guessing american and british dictionaries
might have different ways of pronouncing things well except americans are just lazy when it comes
to spelling color they're supposed to be a u in there. Damn! Oh, damn!
Oh, my country.
You've been
dissed.
Oh, sure. Next time I go to
the theater, I'll think about that.
Alright, so this is Hellcat, man.
Alright.
Just stick a lighter to your butt and flatulate!
See what happens! It can be done with
pants on! If you have a good one that lasts for about two seconds.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Make sure there are some things in the shirt.
And get ready and fire!
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.
Oh, God. All right. Oh god
Alright
Just real quick
Can I read soft JJ?
Oh I wanted to take soft JJ
But go for it
Only if you can actually do the accent though
I can't you do it
Actually maybe Acer should
Which one are we talking about here Actually, maybe Acer should.
Which one are we talking about here?
Oh, yeah, Acer should take over. Stop, JJ.
Yes.
Very end.
Do a Flemish.
Yeah, do some Flemish.
Yeah, need a Flemish accent.
Flemish, are you here?
Hello, I'm from Belgium,
and I watched Mythbusters now for like six months.
I always was satisfied with answers,
but today it wasn't.
I just saw the episode of
Death by Flatulation.
I don't know if the next thing is already
checked because the research was so
incorrect. When you
go and count it with the normal produced
gases from a flatus,
it will be that time.
But here we go, just the myth of beans
and eggs that will make the smell worse.
Not to admit I eat 10 eggs a week.
It's true.
What I think is you should put Adam or someone else on a beans and cabbage diet.
24H will set the trick.
And then you try to take up Laflatis every 12H or 6H.
You bring the example to that thing to check what's in it,
and you watch how it increased some stuff
Then you can check for an hour the amount of flattest you let go for someone on a beans and cabbage diet
I think it will be two or something each hour then you got your true results. I
Just wanna have the real answer. I just
want to have the real answer.
I can't believe that's the answer.
I hope this gets answered soon
because I'm curious.
P.S. Thanks for the shows. I love
them all.
As mentioned, that was the official
Mythbusters fan site.
There is an unofficial one, however.
Oh dear.
Which has a really
good color scheme.
And this is all mostly people who have been
banned from the other site.
Oh, God.
I'm not even going to tell you what happens in this one.
You'll find out.
Oh, it's so good.
Yeah, I think the phrase,
it'll take a few posts
to be really informative, pretty much
sums it up for us, too.
This is a broad topic,
and it'll take a few posts to be really
informative, but I thought I'd share some of
my learnings with others here, in the event that they
might want to undertake such an endeavor themselves.
Note that it will focus on the
technical aspects of the subject, and
not the spiritual.
This is tech, not oogie boogie.
To anyone that wants to become a paranormal investigator or ghost...
This is hard science! Now then, ghosts!
You must first stop thinking that it's not science.
It's true that there's no solid scientific evidence to support
the fact that there's nothing scientific about this.
It is absolutely science.
Sure, there's no evidence, but...
This is Kentucky science class, people.
Come on.
It's true that there's no solid empirical evidence to support the existence of ghosts.
There are only unexplained phenomena.
It's those unexplained phenomena
that a true investigator attempts to explain.
We're not trying to prove ghosts are real,
just scientific, I guess. We're not trying to prove ghosts are real, just scientific, I guess.
We're not trying to disprove them.
We're trying to help people
that have strange things happen in their homes
by finding explanations for those things.
Oh, so it's the science of not proving anything.
We're honest.
No, it's the science of making money
for not doing anything.
Oh.
It's the science of a bunch of dumb
people walking around a house going, dude, I think
I saw a thing.
If we can find
no explanation for those things,
this does not mean their home is
or is not haunted.
Way to draw a
strong conclusion!
Every investigator
should go into an investigation thinking, how can
I prove there's no ghosts here?
Well, by walking away.
That mindset is as important a part of
your toolbox as the scientific method,
Occam's razor, and
a means of collecting evidence.
If you look for something, then
it will be found. If you look for something, then it will be found.
If you look to prove it's not there,
it can't.
That makes sense.
That's why investigators always manage to get all of the evidence at a crime scene.
Yep.
If you look to prove it's not there,
and you can't,
then you need to accept that there's a possibility.
No! They have to prove this shit, so therefore it happened.
Look, come on, guys.
Next up on the Sci-Fi Channel, vague hunters.
There are things going on somewhere, and they will be there, kind of.
My name's Tracy Morgan, and this is my belly.
Absence of evidence
is not evidence of absence,
but it is also not evidence
of presence.
That was a
Zen cone that somehow got left out.
Zen cones
are the foundation of modern science.
Yeah. The Tao
of stupid.
Also,
except that, because there's no solid
evidence that can be shared, shown, or
analyzed, everything involved
is theory. Until some form
of solid evidence of the afterlife is found,
ghosts must be viewed as
at best a possibility and not
as fact. If you believe in ghosts,
then more power to you.
But when you're investigating, you have to clearly
separate your belief in ghosts in general from
the possibility that this particular ghost
you're investigating exists.
It very probably does not exist at all.
I feel like every sentence
makes its own conclusion and
then contradicts with the one before it.
You know how Richard Dawkins will go
and talk to creationists and different things like that?
I just picture him meeting this guy and he's like,
alright, that's it. Everybody dies.
I'm tired. There's no
more to do.
About 90% of paranormal investigations
come up with nothing to support any
supernatural events. Evidence of
any kind is rare. I thought
nothing had been proven. Oh, Jesus.
And unless the person you want to hand this evidence
was there when you collected it, all
evidence collected in this way must be viewed
with skepticism. Yes, this is the place
for skepticism.
You might be the world's most honest person,
but a true scientist must always
consider the possibility that you're lying
simply because it is possible, and it is the simpler answer.
Unless someone can see you collect the data yourself, and you know you falsified nothing, then it's worthless because it does not actually prove anything to a person that wasn't there.
I myself do not investigate because I want to prove it to others.
How does that... I myself do not investigate because I want to prove it to others
I want to prove shit that's why I don't do anything
according to him if I understand this
correctly if you collect data it is per force
wrong
so by not collecting the data it's true
no you get
confused by his structure he's saying
he does investigate but not
for the reason
of oh okay he doesn't do it for the chicks and the money he doesn, but not for the reason of proving. Oh, okay. He doesn't
do it for the chicks and the money.
He doesn't do it for the glory. Yeah, alright.
You gotta give this guy props
though. Coming up with a new genre of writing,
stream of unconsciousness.
I look for something to convince
myself. So far, I'm
not convinced.
We're right there with you, buddy.
Your clients may have issues that make them believe that they're haunted, although they are not.
Events that happen in their sleep are a mystery until they stay awake and realize that the items on the mantel move because a train goes past at the same time every night, vibrating the figurines.
Not noticed. your hands. I did not notice that. Ah, this guy. Problems, senility, alcoholism,
and other substance abuses, even cries for
attention, might make a person claim to
have had a paranormal experience.
Consider the source.
Learn about the clients when they call you. Ask questions.
Assure them that they are not meant as a
personal slight. You're simply ensuring
that their perceptions were not affected by
other influences.
Learn the area.
Take baseline readings for temperature, electromagnetic fields.
Take photographs in a lighted room to look for possible sources of artifacts such as lens flares and bass sound recordings.
Know what's in an area before you start recording it,
and control what gets added to the area after you start.
If you hear footsteps and it was another investigator entering the room,
you need to know that later,
when you only have the sound and can't see the cause,
learn your equipment.
Know what it can and can't
do. Anything?
Yeah.
Know how dust particles
appear on your camera, and how
sensitive your sound recording devices are.
Does your full motion video recorder
have a low light or infrared setting? Should you use it?
Sure, why not?
Should you set on your EMF sensor?
What's that?
Does your laser thermometer get affected
by cold temperature?
Well, it shows right here you've got laser fever.
I've got you now, Flash Gordon!
Temperature of the core of the Earth!
Wait, are you going to say you don't have laser thermometers?
We don't. I'm sorry. I haven't subscribed to Omni in a while.
Does your laser thermometer get affected by cold temperatures between it and the wall?
Or does it only tell you the temperature of the wall? I
don't know where you're inserting it to get the
I, fuck. Learn the
history of the location as well.
What happened there? Does the history
corroborate anything you found? Don't let
the team know too much about the history of the place
until after you finish the investigation
and then try to corroborate. Tell
your investigators that it was a mortuary at
some point,
and people will start smelling formaldehyde.
But if they don't know, and later say,
it was weird, but at one point I thought I smelled formaldehyde,
because you were putting it right next to my face,
and you thought that it was chloroform.
That's still just a personal experience, not evidence. But the perception will not have been influenced by prior knowledge.
And study. Study methods of experienced investigators and learn methods at work.
When you go on an investigation, the client has asked you there because they expect you to be the
expert. Don't disappoint them. The main purpose of this post is to open a thread on the technical
aspects of paranormal investigating. It's a place to post personal experiences, thoughts, questions, and ideas,
and to discuss the technicalities
of the field. So,
if you're curious, experienced,
or just want to share an anecdote,
chime in.
What's happening?
I just want to show up in front of these people, like, wearing a sheet
and going, ooh, you're wasting your life.
What's happening?
I didn't understand
any of what he said.
God damn.
So, if I can summarize,
you know, be a skeptic about this, except when you're
not, and you're not supposed to be a skeptic, because you're not supposed
to be proving things, but sometimes you've got to prove things.
Anyways, make sure equipment works,
anecdotal evidence is good, except when it isn't, and have fun.
Yeah, that works.
Yeah, that makes sense.
He goes through
all this stuff. The part, it's like,
learn the history of the location as well.
It's like, make sure your scientific equipment works.
Be skeptical, and also not skeptical. Also,
anecdotal evidence is the best thing.
I just cannot get over that part.
Hey, Kumquat, would you like to
read your own finding here?
I would love to.
All right.
Nothing would give me a greater pleasure.
This is an idea post from the unofficial fan site.
When the excrement hits the fan.
Uh-oh.
The popular saying is that if something unpleasant and or messy is about to happen,
then it is like excrement hitting a fan.
Holy excrement.
The saying comes from the idea that if you throw excrement at a working fan,
then the material will be splattered over anything or anyone standing in front of the fan.
But would this really happen?
This excrement is intercoursed
up.
I recall
that this was done as a visual gag
in the film Aeroplane.
With the result, the fan simply
stopped with the material having stuck to the
blades as a solid mass.
Was it called
aeroplane in other countries?
It was, yes.
Makes sense.
Equipment, setup, and
testing.
MB will naturally
require a couple of fans
of different sizes. Later testing
may require custom fans and blades,
but these should be simple to make.
MB may wish to look into creating a screen
to prevent any of the material
from getting into the motor without cutting off the air vents
needed to cool the motor.
The
material for testing
doesn't need to be the real thing.
What?
In fact,
it probably would be best if it isn't,
if only so whoever tests this doesn't spend the rest of their life
being required to stand 30 feet downwind at all times.
Well, thanks. Now I don't have a boner anymore.
Jerk.
In a pinch, brownie mixing cream corn will do.
MB would be better placed by finding or making a material
that has the same consistency as the real material.
This would have several advantages, excluding
health concerns, in that the material
could be altered to have different consistencies,
as well as being dyed a bright color.
Both demolify sensors
so that any ejected material from the test can be more
easily seen.
The fan is placed in a fixed position in front of the
wall that is either painted or covered by a white sheet.
The person throwing the material is
likewise covered by a white jumpsuit.
I can hear the fapping.
Oh, that was me.
Sorry.
Why into the microphone?
Just a second.
You know, I was never into scat, but you added a fan.
I couldn't resist myself.
The overalls and wall are examined
for signs that any material has been thrown out
from the fan after the material has been thrown at the fan.
Testing should start with small
fans in their lowest settings, gradually moving
up to larger and more powerful fans at higher settings.
If this still
fails to produce any splatter, building a part
of a more powerful fan with metal blades and with a much
higher RPM should be done to see exactly what it takes
to get any significant splatter.
This myth could be coupled with other fan myths.
I'm thinking of a myth about rotating fan blades
being able to deflect or protect against bullets.
Boring.
Clearly, the fans used for this test
could be reused for testing that myth
or something similar.
Can I request that Bunny Bread reads the next one?
Okay, so I want to be Draco.
All right.
Lol.
I love this one.
Okay.
Seeing as one of my tasks is cleaning up dog excrement,
I can attest to the fact that it comes in all manner of consistencies,
from rock-hard nuggets to pure liquid with little...
Oh, God.
It seems to be a difference in what the dogs are fed.
Jesus.
There would be a difference in result due to which type was tossed at the fan.
My prediction would be that something akin to consistency to just firmer than soft serve
would be the highest spreader
of the whole big smiling
happy face.
And yes,
I heartily agree that
they should not use the real thing.
Mainly for health reasons due to the amount
of harmful parasites that it can harbor.
Plus, I just want to save it, you know,
for my own personal...
I really think that of harmful parasites that it can harbor. Plus, I just want to save it, you know, for my own personal... Never mind.
I really think that
we need to post that guy's signature
picture. No, no, no. You need
to go to his website right now.
You need to go to his
cafe press.
Yeah.
Well, hello there.
See, the thing is, he says it's his job to take care of the dog droppings, but I don't know. I, the thing is,
he says it's his job to take care of the
dog droppings, but I don't know. I get the feeling
from his cafe press and everything. It's more of a hobby.
Yeah.
There's a
picture on the cafe press of a fox
holding a clover in its mouth that says,
I'm Irish. What's your excuse? I really don't
want to know what that picture means at all.
I'm not retarded! I'm not going to know the intended meaning of that.
So mess up!
I want you here
In my room
I want you here
Second up, what we have was
when we were looking at the
fan page, there was
a post from
a woman
who is a Mythbusters
fan who just had a link
and she
is a furry artist
who does
a series called Conquista
Dogs. Yes.
Now, how this happened was great
is that we were reading the Mythbusters
thing and we read the
Ghost Hunter thing that was just, like I said, stream of unconsciousness.
And then this was the next post by this person.
Now, you know, usually on reading these kind of things
we'll find something that warrants its own episode
or that would just warrant its own little reading.
But with this episode we're just like,
you know what, let's go off on that tangent.
Let's see where it goes.
And that was a rabbit hole full of stereo,
you know,
ethnic stereotype dogs.
That was pretty amazing.
So what we have is,
uh,
Oh,
what is,
what is her name?
Oh,
Foxy.
Yes. This is a,
this is an artist called Foxy and,
uh,
it's about her and it's about her characters.
Yeah.
And this also proves that,
you know,
the crazy cat lady that lives out in the Midwest.
Well,
apparently you can do the same thing except with dogs
Oh, sure
Now I wanna be a dog
Now I wanna be a dog
Now I wanna be a dog
See ya, dog!
Have you guys found some pisto dogs yet?
Making their mark on the new world.
I love how he's implying they're just taking a dump on it.
I wanna just
try to, like, just read you the comic.
Just, like, okay, so there's two dogs, right?
And one is like a border collie,
and then the other one is more like a, I don't know,
like a schnauzer or something.
And, okay, so this is the comic.
So the schnauzer says,
Hi, I'm Uh-Oh, what's your name?
Right?
So that's the setup.
Okay, keep going.
Keep going. I'm just getting started So that's the setup. Okay, keep going. Keep going.
I'm just getting started.
Here's the punchline.
The Border Collie says,
Click treat.
Oh my god, it's hilarious.
It's funny because it's true.
You can get that on a pillow.
What?
What?
What? What?
Hey, if you have to ask, you'll never know.
I'll read it again, because it might have
soared over your head.
So, the schnauzer says, hi, I'm uh-oh,
what's your name?
And then the border collie says, click treat.
Man, it gets better every time we hear it.
See, it operates on so many different levels.
I don't understand.
I don't understand, Ack.
I'll cut you to splinters,
you villainous fiend,
for my bite is worse than your bark.
Grr, yep, yep.
The arch might not be visible.
It's hard to tell, but that's
actually a tree that the dog is
threatening. Get it?
I thought it was excrement.
I thought it was like a
cliff face or something, but no,
it's a tree. And see, apparently
his dog likes to attack the tree.
Okay, this might be just for a totally different
podcast, but at some point,
we should really read these character bios
for each of the dogs in Conquista Dogs.
Yes, yes. Yes, we should.
Sure, we could have a Conquista Dogs radio play special.
Wait, hang on.
Conquista Dogs radio podcast!
Yes!
There's real-life pictures of all the Conquista Dogs.
Yeah, and the last one is, like, this poor dog in this backyard full of shit.
Yeah, because posting the real life
pictures and then the drawings that you made
of them standing up in a conquista or outfits
isn't creepy at all.
Oh, they all have really stupid names too.
In every dog, there lies
a hidden persona.
There is a hidden world
that dog owners do not know
or perceive.
Where our beloved four pawed friends
travel when their paws
are a-twitter and twitching.
Have you ever wondered what they are
dreaming about?
Just what vast world they are
exploring.
This webpage is dedicated to the artwork
of the Contista Dogs,
a grand world that two-leggers
can only imagine.
Yes.
I still wouldn't go see it.
I like the shitty computer graphics
behind the, like, terrible
life. Yeah, that's pretty good.
Wow, you can see all the polygon back there.
You know what?
I gotta say,
after Beverly Hills Chihuahua,
I can see this happening.
All right.
Acer,
I now dub you
Don Kylipso.
All right.
Don Kylipso.
I'm trying to find the link.
I could do the whole thing
in that voice
to kill my vocal cords, but I could just keep going. Let the link. I could do the whole thing in that voice.
It'd kill my vocal cords, but I could just keep going.
Let me see if I can do this one.
In real life, she was my boulevard Shetland sheepdog,
Kylipso. A loyal and
beautiful companion who loved to chase
trees on walks. Her antics
reminded me very much of Don
Quixote with his windmills, and the
story began. Her real-life adventure
ended in spring of 2008 when she
passed on from kidney failure.
She may be gone, but her
adventures are only beginning.
Wait, they are?
I don't understand.
I just have to say...
No, man, she's going off the dog ball holler.
No!
With every detail, this page just gets less and less creepy
There's a poem
Sancho Fizgig
A Pomeranian with all the grit and guts
Fizgig does not know his own size is quite small
Doesn't bother him one bit
Sancho Fizgig is Don Quilipso's companion in exploration
Ready to take on the world and more, he is loyal and dedicated to her.
He hopes one day to become more than just a sword carrier.
He never will.
Like I said, less and less creepy.
Yes.
Can I do the next one?
Yes.
This is Parker de Leon. A great explorer of the world. Yes. mountain of eternal love. Or is that life? Well, this rough
Connie does get a bit
confused every so often.
He is based on Parker,
a retired show Connie
who lives with me.
And for the character
they spelled Parker P-A-R-C-Q-U-E-R.
What the fuck,
how did you find that?
I don't know,
but I've been laughing
silently. I had to put myself on mute because
I've been laughing the last five minutes straight.
Okay.
Up next is Ash.
Ash's portrait portrays him as
a missile American
warrior.
My devoted border collie is obsessed with the game of fetch.
He is a nut overflowing with charm, wit, and character.
A real charmer.
His alter ego is based on the Mesoamerican ball players of old.
An El Dorado ball court warrior and guardian.
There's no one standing between him and his goal.
He's a sexy little fuck.
So this is Tally.
Tally.
Tallyson makes the perfect shaman in training.
Another Pomeranian who is unaware of her size.
This El Doughradian imp wants to take on a whole new world
where her little paws tread, trouble is sure to follow.
Coming this fall from Disney.
Change the adventure on Fox Kids!
Oh, oh, I have to do Maya.
I have to.
It's a requirement.
Alright, so this is Maya.
Maya cuts a powerful pose.
A Britney with a tooth.
She's a kind soul and a bit excitable.
In El Dorado,
she is the assistant to a shaman learning the discipline of the spiritual arts.
She's learning. We all need to start
somewhere.
Um, what?
Okay. I'm really, I
don't think I emphasized the use
of the word tood there enough.
Yeah.
Uh, okay.
What about Max? Max doesn't even have an actual drawing.
Finally, Max!
We're on some shit water.
Shit water.
Max's fortune is in the works as he has a brand new addition to the crew.
Being a long-endured friend of mine,
Max will become a member of the neighboring tribe of the El Dorado locals.
A fellow ball warrior, Max will forever be trying to light paw the ball.
What?
What? What?
You heard him.
Come on, man.
Max will forever be trying to light-paw the ball from the Eldigradians.
Your problem is that you're trying to assume this is even remotely logical.
It's not.
Just carry on.
Well, it talks
about lightballing, like we're just supposed
to be familiar with this term.
Lightpaws! We're trying to be familiar
with the world,
where there are dog Aztec warriors.
Okay, fair enough.
Oh my god, there's so much of this.
Stay tuned
for more artwork on this ongoing project!
Oh, I definitely will. I will definitely
be tuned in.
And I love under the, uh, back, stay tuned
for more artwork. It's back to the sane
world, if you can call it that.
Dang, I'm the sane
world, dude.
Jesus.
Uh.
Well, I'm changed for the better.
I would like to learn about this woman who did this.
Jesus Christ, she has the money from hell.
Oh.
Oh.
Who steals like Nightbird, a.k.a. Foxy, a.k.a. Jenny Brass, a.k.a. Silvernail?
Well, greetings.
Jenny Brass, aka Silvernail.
Well,
greetings!
Let me tell you a little about myself and introduce you to my
corner of the woods.
Woods don't have corners.
Mine does.
You got it out.
Very specific.
I'm a self-taught, lifelong artist who has a passion for trying new things.
This exploration has led to a vast number of mediums,
which currently include pencil, pen and ink, marker, watercolor, acrylic,
computer artwork, both 2D and 3D.
A vast number of mediums, like what they use in elementary school.
I'm also experienced with glue and scissors.
Hey, now, he's working on paper planes.
And construction paper, don't forget that.
Both 2D and 3D, man, that's a lot of Ds.
I know, but no 1D.
Though I took art classes in high school and college,
most of my skills and techniques come from exploring and reapplying tips and tricks learned from simply doing it.
Take that, nerds learning Kandinsky.
Always happy to foster new artistic talents.
I am a firm believer in tutoring others,
and I'm always happy to share a tidbit with interested artists.
Firm believer.
She ain't got no firm nothing on her whole fucking body.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, that mullet looks pretty firm.
That shit is pretty good.
No, it's described as looks pretty firm. That's true.
No, it's described as a unique haircut.
Thank you.
It has led to some online tutoring through a few art websites and several lasting friendships with people in other countries.
The nature of this development has led to my unique style of anthropomorphic art.
What?
What?
I'm the only one on the internet who does furry porn.
What a shock.
Every other furry stuff, they fuck.
My furries, they make
love.
Oh god.
Badly drawn furry
shit.
Oh god.
My current focus on
dogs comes from working in the pet care industry
where I work, play,
and train other dog lovers.
Wait, finish it up.
I love the second.
I can't. You can do it. Believe love this. I can't.
You can do it.
Believe in yourself.
With other dog lovers.
Whose unique sense of humor has caught fire.
Nothing is funny anymore.
I like the unique sense of humor.
Hey, you know what would be funny?
If we dressed these dogs up in robes and then fucked them.
Aha, right guys.
What's with dressing them up?
I like my dogs naked.
I like my dogs in high heels.
It's hot fire from the chihuahua of the dynamite.
The pen name Foxy.
I signed my artwork Foxy as the name reflects my love of that animal.
The name was given to me by my high school art teacher.
No, it wasn't. The name was given to me by my high school art teacher.
No, it wasn't.
Oh, God.
That's really gross.
So she was fucking the high school art teacher?
No, no, it was more like, Jenny, could you please just stop showing up after hours?
I don't need Foxy. That's up after hours? Tell me, Foxy.
That's a nice drawing of a dog, Foxy.
I would have said that about this guy now.
Oh, God.
The teacher who I feel had the greatest influence on my life.
Yes, John McCoy, you were responsible for all of this.
Well, he's had 25 to life to reflect on his influence.
Maybe he was just idly singing some Jimi Hendrix,
and he's like, ooh, Foxy Lady.
And she's like, I've got a nickname, and it's perfect.
Oh, God.
I'm working towards turning my hobby into a career in the arts because of him.
my hobby into a career in the arts because of him.
Exploring
art in his class led me to
explore many directions
I would never have otherwise taken.
Oh, we see that.
Definitely see that.
Even my wallpaper in the background
shows just how many avenues
I've explored.
Okay, this is an audio podcast, so you're not
seeing this, but
it's just more furry shit
in the background.
That's all the avenues. All the avenues are furry.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, there's some
dragons, too.
I think there's a dragon in there.
It's a furry dragon.
I think I'm seeing a dragon
dog here.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
John noticed early on how many of these frequently drawn chars were foxes,
and before long, Foxy was off.
He called me.
Yeah, sorry about this.
Oh, God.
You know what?
If you committed suicide,
you'd still have a lot to answer for right now.
I know.
Shit.
Anime Club.
Dude, just rep your work.
I'm like a super saiyan stuffed in a checkered shirt.
All you motherfuckers wanna come and test the verse.
Listen up.
Hear them players that'll get you hurt.
And for our last segment, we have something special.
Now, the F Plus was started with kind of a group of friends that met online, met through games, and we all kind of know each other.
And for the most part, we kind of do the podcast for us.
Now, you know, we want friends from outside that group, and we're not trying to block it from anyone or, you know, do too many in jokes, hopefully.
But, you know, it was kind of started as that and hopefully branch out from there.
do too many in jokes, hopefully.
But, you know, it's what kind of started as that, and hopefully branch out from there. And so when we find
out we have a friend, or a fan,
rather, that is outside
of that group, then it's really exciting.
And apparently we found that.
There's a person on Twitter, posting
as Tenshi Ray, that posted on our Twitter that
one of her new favorite podcasts
is the F+. And
it's very exciting. Thank you
so much for listening, Tenshi Ray,
and we hope you're enjoying it.
And so as a special thank you to our new fan,
we thought we'd give your Twitter the F-plus treatment.
That's not to say that your Twitter is necessarily badly written,
but, you know, why not?
This is what we do to people we like.
Exactly.
So we hope you enjoy it. Fuck you, Mom and Dad,
we're here to say, Japan is
better than the USA.
Pull out the ones you want.
Oh, can I do
Seeing Jack give someone a
face-based pep talk?
Okay.
Seeing Jack
give someone a face-based pep talk
is the most adorable thing ever!
Oh yeah?
Crazy with grief, Richard Alpert is freaking me out!
Watching Lost these days is like watching a fanfiction.
Alex and Ben with normal lives all.
Ben's dad's old man makeup is not very
convincing
I'll feel bad if he's actually an old dude
you know
she'll probably not want
us to be her favorite
podcast actress
carry on
this is how we show our love
thank you for listening to us
now we mock you
there are lots of boys with crushes on me
oh no
wait
I want to do this one
Japanese character Japanese character, Japanese character, Japanese character.
Hey, that's my favorite.
Oh, man.
Oh, I got one of them wrong.
Kiwi experiment trial two.
Mm, mm, ow, mm, ow, mm, mm, ow, ow, ow.
Curse your canada.
Come on. Ate whale for lunch today. Ow, ow, ow, ow. Curse your Canadian!
Ate whale for lunch today.
It was delicious.
I feel guilty.
Something's quacking outside.
I'm scared.
Watch this week's Lost. Wow!
Watch this week's Lost.
Wow! Wow!
Got her
dead for much cheaper
than expected. Plus the
three five minute of Sash.
So is a winner. Oh, here's a shock.
Finally
bought some manga.
Man, it's cheap here. I hope it
helps me work up to real books.
You know, I think for this particular
section we should flip it around. This is
Enthusiastic Things Read Terribly.
Almost got stuck in an endless
cycle of puking and cleaning the sink.
Now I know how much my
mother loves me.
Got a free face towel in the mall from the gas company.
What up, y'all?
Jealous.
Damn.
She was all like, man, I'd like to wipe my face,
and also I'd like to look at my gas bill.
Oh, hey! It's my lucky day!
Coming home from school today Coming home from school today
Oh, that certainly was not organized in any way.
I believe that we would laugh for that part.
Indeed.
Well, what did you
learn today, John?
I learned that tangents are fun.
Also, farting girls on TV is the
best.
Yeah, I pretty
much had whatever suspicions
more or less confirmed
about it. That I knew people
were going to just be creepy about the girl one.
I knew people were going to be up in arms over, like, you didn't do it right on silly
TV show.
Yeah.
And also that I will never not be entertained by furries.
Right.
You know, it's an automatic win right there.
You know, if I can make a bigger point about it, it's just these type of people I think always existed.
It's just that the internet gave them a place to thrive.
It's like the bacteria and whatever has always been there, but now we just have this giant interconnected petri dish, and we just see all these kinds breeding.
And it's something you never would have noticed if we had not had the material here to see it happen.
You know, and we're not had the material here to see it happen. You know, and
we're not television commentators.
This isn't really a reflection on the show itself.
You know, we're internet commentators.
But I do want to say,
if for any strange,
crazy, backwards reason, there might be
some sort of Mythbusters producer,
number one,
get rid of that narrator. That is fucking terrible.
And number two, stop listening to your forums.
Like, it's not doing you any favors.
Like, they're not going to be satisfied.
You're in, like, your seventh season now.
They're still going to freak out about whatever.
There's no point.
Yeah, and on another note,
as to the people
making
furry drawn fan fiction
of their dogs exploring the new world
keep on doing what you're doing
you're doing the lord's work
it's excellent we really like seeing it
you're gonna make a career out of it
one day
you should put more of the
watermarks
on your images
I'd like to
and I'd like to really
cement this home
the whole thing about doing Tenshi Ray's Twitter
this really is one of these things, it's not like the other
and that Twitter is something other
than the first two
I'd just like to really point that out
anyway
it's a fun Twitter and it's normal
And there's nothing wrong with it
You know you like Lost it's cool
It's just we had to do the voices
Because you're a fan
Anyway that's all we got for this week
You know we're going to not take weeks off
So much anymore
Hopefully
And we'll be back at you
Alright thanks for listening
Whatever we put in there I like to imagine that
Ayo's living room looks like
the sort of garage
of Doc Brown in Back to the Future
when
he's always got a
Rube Goldberg device
feeding his dog.
Yeah, but I was thinking of the amplifier setup
that Michael J. Fox
plugged his guitar into.
This week on Mythbusters.
Could Al B. Keaton play a guitar
that blew him across the room?
Then that redhead chick dances
around in her panties for 20 minutes.
How can we bring shit into this?
And then farts.
I'm Excitable Goatee Guy, and I'm
Walrus Beret.
This is Mythbusters.
