Scottish Themed Patron Shoutouts

Jimmy Hey everyone, I'm Mollyood. And I'm Tom Mrick. Welcome to It's A Thing. The weekly podcast supported by you, which is delightfully simple in its premise and delivery. It's all about things that are things. And If you have listened to any of our bonus material, you should know that Molly deserves an award for being here Just for showing up Yes, Dar everyone get the Singles vaccine? When they tell you to get the shingles vaccine, get it Shingrx I don't know if there's other ones that's the one I got, but get them neither. Do it. Get them. That's all we have to that So um It's World Cup time Which kind of an Uber thing You know, it it isn't it's the or thing, honestly. Yeah But we both have examples of things coming out of the World Cup Mine actually comes from before the lead up to the World Cup U which is New Zealand footballer Tim Payne uh described by Argentinian commentator. as the least known player. which made everybody go, well, that's rude. Let's go find him on Instagram because the commentator said Els Scarzo is the name of the One person who said this said he has less than five thousand followers on social media, like he must be the least known player turned out Elscarzo was doing that on purpose knew people would react and go like, well, we need to help this guy. And of course since then, everybody's following Tim Payne, our New Zealand footballer and Painay publicly thanked Els Scarzo is like, dude I appppreciate it. Ilcarars was like, Yeahah, I wanted to find the person with the lowest number of followers and call attention to them so they'd get more followers. And it works. That is absolutely amazing. I don't know if you followed any of the If you followed the Cpe Fair Day game at all where they played Spain Yeah to a tie, right? And it's like, it's the it's it's among the largest ranking differentials ever. like Spain is like rank number two expected doing win the whole thing G Verdes ranked sixty seven And they played Spain to a zero zero tie, which is on In no large part because of their goalie who's like forty years old and was just an absolute human wall Like he made like seven of the cleanest, coolest Spider Man stops ever. He went from one hundred fifty thousand followers to the next day Nine million. Wow And then there were all these like dumb Americans online. I mean, it' what it is like it shows you the sheer scale of like football fandom All these dumed up, dumbedumb Americans were like, you telling me he has more followers than Patrick Mahomes And be answer.es the most watched sport on the actual planet? Oh yeah. not For large outside of our little c like. Anyway, wild five million overnight. I love it Iirth I haven't been following him so Timpainne today, the news is out has signed to play with Paraguay now I'm going off top of my head and I can't remember Olympio, I think is the name of the team. Anyway, Paraguay national champion Like in the professional leagues So So it's ended up getting them a contract. I Love it I love it. And this goes hand in hand with my first thing actually, which is just like thingsings that I am loving about. the World Cup I would say that probably the thingniest thing that I've seen come out of it so far is the Tartan arrmy O existence thereof. And Tartan Army in thisase refers to Scotland fans And the way that they have taken over Boston and made the whole country fall in love with them And there's like there's a larger thing in general, which has just been sort of like World Cup fans discovering things about America and it being unbelievably wholesome and wonderful. Like there was like a Japanese fan who did a wrote a long post on ex about they went to a Mexican restaurant and got like unlimited chips and salsa And they put it down and he was just like, we We haven't he's flagging down the server and was like, we haven't earned this. And we didn't order this. It was the translation of how we wrote it. We haven't earned this And just, I mean, you know, so there's and like the Algerian team is staying in and practicing in and all these fans are in Lawrence, Kansas. And Lawrence Kansas is like rolled out the red carpet for the Algerian. They're just like learning facts about Algeria and putting it. So it's you know, it's It's wonderful Lawrence Kansas was like, please, we'd like to be known for something else other than surviving in the Day afterfter movie Let Let's get known for being nice to the Algeria national team. Right Totally. Like it it's more than just zombie haaven Over here. Yeah Um But the thing that has really captured, I think, America's heart is the Scottish fans who are shockingly organized. I mean, literally, they're called the Tartan Army and they keep showing up to stuff en masse. They were told that they can't drink on the streets in Boston. so they rented a boat in the harbor and just got smashed on the boat and they sing all the time. And they like a whole bunch of them went to Red sox games in Red sox t shirts and kilts. Like they're just wearing kilts all over Boston They're showing up at bars and singing Sweet Caroline with like Scottish accents The town is a little legit worried about running out of beer, like the commercial flight that the Tartan Army was on that a bunch of Scotland fans were on. ran out of beer an hour into the flight Wow That's that was Scottish. That's it. Really, right? Like you're like, look, we've worked hard not to stereotype but you gott to be kiding me right now It is so fun, But like you can literally just spend an hour or more watching videos of Scottish fans in the Tartan Army in Boston. They also Sent ahead. traffic cones had them shipped to the U.S. before they arrived and then have been like going around and putting traffic cones on statues and stuff, like all of this stuff They're just rascals Yeah, this is what they are. That's Lovely. All of this is beautiful from Lawrence, Kansas to the Tartan Army It does remind me two thousand seven October. is notable for two reasons. One is that while I was on vacation, you and Jason created the spreadsheet for Bus out Loud. Oh Like that was I remember when I came back you're like, we're using Google Sheets now for the rundown. I'm like, that's genius. Oh my gosh. And now it has become the standard for podcast rundowns everywhere. Right. and pioneers up in here. but The reason it occurred to me right now is that we were in Barcelona on vacation. while Rangers, one of the Glasgow football teams was there. and I I came to know Just a sliver of the Tarton Army, which was the Rangers fans. And so all of this I'm like, oh, so this is like that Rangers fandom, but like times the whole country. The whole country. There's actually a song that I have on my liked songs playlist because when I was in Scotland, I took it like a day long bus tour last October. and the tour guide played this part this song on the bus called No Scotland, No Party And it's literally about them like sucking at the World Cup. And they're like, Well we've got Jum again, Jum again, jum again. We' beum again. And it just goes no Scotland, no party. And then it's like, you know, something something tartan army. I mean, This is this is they were right No, in the absence of Scotland, there is indeed No party. There is no party I've never wanted to fly to Boston more than the last week or two yeah yeah. I Love a A sports fandom takes pride in its team and accepts It's futility. whichich is Almost all the World Cup teams, to be honest, like count on one hand, you know, the Spain' and Brazils and Argentine ones that like have a shot and it gets a little broader when like, well maybe, you know, maybe this could happen, but most teams know like yeah, we're We're not going to win at all. only one time that far. Yeahah.s there's actually a line in that song that's like, we'll see if we make it past T the grip stage But obvestly this has been, I mean, this World Cup, granted. I have been home with singles, eating edibles and watching the World Cup all day every day. So I've been especially locked in. but I got toa say, there' been some very good underdog moments like Cape Verday that I mentioned, but like even today as we're recording this Um the Democratic Republic of Congo, first time playing as DRC help Portugal to a one one tie, Ronaldo I know So it's been kind of like it's just it's felt a little just there's some magic in the air. Yeah, little bit a little bit of magic. and can happen. Like listen, I'm with you. I hear you I hear the emails coming in FIFA itself, the organization is breathtakingly evil and corrupt, much like the Olympic Committee But the event, the people and the players beautiful. A beautiful g beautiful game. A lot of people think of Japanese, maybe Korean or Taiwanese convenience stores as the pinnacle of convenience store food And they still are. I would not yet oppose Japan from its pinnacle However, the Wall Street Journal has an article. about the fact that your next great meal Mbe from a gas station Uh It is All about buckies I was just going to say. I'm like this is you're welcome, by the way Wall Street Journal because it's us talking about buckies that got you Yeah And in the course of this article They mention Kuterie which is I think a fair exchange for them taking our buggies thing and like Well, I didn't know about that word. Ccuterie is just Making a charcuterie style board of delicious items, but they're all from convenience stores or gas stations And then you atat it in the car that is incredible Like that word is so adorable, that concept is so darling. Actually, that's really funny because I was in LA recently And my friend Janny picked me up from LAX, which is how you know that we're friends for life Yeah. That's your. I't that for anybody. But And she had a bag of like Bread Fancy salted butter, some cheese, like literal snackies and we were calling it car picnic like a bunch of heathens. Little do you know No Ccuterie this whole time. You were totally doing carcuterie Cheese, slamy, fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, whatever you got Wow And then yeah, the rest I actually read this article, but I somehow managed not to or I think I saw it go by, but I didn't pick out the Ccudery part, but yes, I did see that they were talking like about how gas station food has gotten really good. I mean, one of the best fried chicken places in Oakland, honestly is gas station Ficket A I'll be honest Loves doesn't get the love that Buck' does and probably deservedly so, it's the Avis to Buckyies hurts Um But love truck stops are great And I was devastated when I went back for my sister's birthday in April. and had had planned on just popping into the loves and just grabbing everything I needed for the rest of the weekend to find they were remodeling. And they only had a trailer of the most basic items up front Oh that's horrific. I know I know By the way, all the way at the bottom of this article You will find reference to one single gas station, El Carajo in Miami Apparently, it is known for an impressive list of cheeses, international wines chosen by an in house Siller, and traditional Spanish dishes like bacon wrap, chorizo stuff, dates, garlic, shrimp, and three different Haeas. And there's a picture of what looks like a fancy restaurant payette and a couple glasses of wine, and it's a gas station. It's a gas station That is awesome. Yeah Yeah, this whole article I had forgotten to mention that. it has U a lot of examples of All kinds of gas station foods large and small across the United States But this also reminded me of the I don't know if it was a TikTok or something else you sent me of the person from France who is here for the World Cup discovering buckies and wanting to hate it, but they couldn't because' so good. I'm pretty sure that because of the other one of the other breakout stars of World Cup tourism is Freddy, the German Wh's a World Cup fan who's been traveling like driving, I think, a lot across the country. and he has discovered all of these things, including buckies And I mean, It's so I feel like this The fact that this piece exists now is like weirdly of a piece with all of this All of these people from different countries traveling across America and being like, oh, this is great By the way, it's just nice to see because you, America is great is not a thing that a lot of people outside America have been thinking about us lately. And several of them have been interviewed and said just that and they're like, it's actually wonderful to come here and And I think it might be important for people to get an outside perspective on their own country Also that Eactlyver like, hey, not everything's awful. you know, Chick y'all y'all created buckies Pret bus. I know they're And they're also just like, I know we make fun of you for being really fat, but ooh, this food is amazing You know, here's the here's the thing. Here's the thing. I'm going to go off at a little bit of a tangent here. Do it I've heard Justin Robert Young say that our superpower is our self loathing. and I don't know if that is true, but certainly America is very good at hating itself and always has been. That's not new Ding And I think we discount things that we do well because we're like, well, we did them, how good could it really be, right? And so I think it's great to get that outside perspective. But specifically on the weight thing, the other thing I've noticed is over time, everything that we hate about ourselves that people make fun of us about comes elsewhere later. We were just first to the party. G it cause we export our fast food restaurants. Sometimes it is, sometimes it is, but, you know, like Also, we're all humans. We're all the same as species And we're all subject to the same evolutionary motivations. So I would say Be careful what you make fun of in us, the Americans, because eventually It may come to you and vice versa Like Don't be all pointing fingers and making fun of other cultures because eventually you're gonna be doing the same thing here too Like it all comes around anyway. It is very true. We're just innovators in lots of different ways. Sure. Not always, but, you know, and not always good Right, notot always good. But But then we'll come up with the solution first too, probably. Sometimes we do that Yeah sometimes. ye. Anyway, it's just, it's just been it's been nice. there of course there have been negatives about the World Cup, but honestly, like, the amount of positive kind of I don't know, lovely Diversity of experiences has been really an I think that's one of the greatest things about things like the World Cup and the Olympics is it's a chance for everybody to compare notes and go like, o perceptions about you were We're mistaken and you're like us in this way and different in this way. and sometimes that difference is a good thing and we're all we're all the same species and our gas stations kill crrushing it.onestly. they always have Safot Tog pointing out Stuckies. Dino Sinclair in sixties and seventies, I mean, you know, We've been doing good with the roadside stops quite Those like the flying J truck stops used to be like my favorite place to stop in Montana and North Dakota, because they just had it all. All of it. you could you could get like a construction vest and like a racker ribs and Buies is just the natural evolution of Stuckies in the flying Jay right one hundred percent All right, well, I'm going to take a bit of a turn away from either the World Cup or our awesome American gas stations and just explain something that I keep seeing online which is adorable and I've been trying to figure out like, where is this? How do I use it It's the disgusted Barbie or really Is it's colloquially ak known the stank face Barbie meme And it's just bunch of reaction images that again, I've been seeing all over. by the way, I can't continue to read the knownoy Your Mme article because I got a huge pop up Ban around for the USA versus Australia game, which is on Friday. I just want to like alert you now. Yeah Prepare your beers Um Disgusted Barbie or Shocked Barbie is a reaction image of a mermaid skipper Barbie doll with a shocked or disgusted look on her face, shot from an upward angle The photograph first became the subject of memes in july twenty twenty three and is most often used to represent emotions of surprise, shock or disgust horors. A subject, but since then It has morphed into Like stank face across the Barbie line I don't know who is creating these or how But it's incredible Like the No Your Me article really just has the one Barbie and Yeah it just has the mermaid. Nothing In fact, hold on, I'm even gonna find another link while we're talking, ' I'm like, this is not doing it any Be first of all, the stank face Barbie that is in the No Your Me article that's the mermaid Barbie is pretty great Like it's pretty impressive just how disgusted Barbie looks in that still photo. And so what you're telling me And what I can't wait to see evidence of because it sounds amazing is you can do this with other Barbies. You can have a whole plethora of of Barbie reactions. I dropped it in the private chat since apparently I still can't get to the the group chat. Well you could have just put it in the dock and that would have been the easiest way. Oh, that's smart. I could still do that is that easier? Yeah, yeah, sure pop it at or steak f then it's in the show nototes for us. Yeah. Yes. This is just an image search It's Now some of these have to be like midjourney or something. I'm guessing. just Oh I think they are. L I think most are probably AI created ever since But like There's so many and they're so amazing. Wow, they go on and on. They really just go on and on. I mean, it's sort of, they're derived from, I would say the same three repeatedly, but they're an absolute delight There's just a million That's a good one. That That's that's a solid thing. That's a like that's just, you know, the base hit of things. You got to have it. You know, yeah exactly. It's a money ball type thing. Yeah ust trying to get on base with that one, but also like you're gonna see it now. You're to see. especiallys which is homeome of Cons Um Well, think of the week is the World Cup. Do we need to go more specific with the Tartan Army or No. I think it's just World Cup. It's like World Cup Yeah Slash by the way. But. Slash, by the way, like I am so glad that I put a pin in the fact that Love Island was back and was going to be a thing because The number of references I sent these guys, I sent to our group chat last week. like the weather channel posted a loveove Island related joke. Yeah Anyway, it's just It is shocking to me and perhaps a sign that we need to open the schools as the kids are saying That is this big of a deal, but Here we are All right, let's get to your things. Eric is seconding a podcast recommendation says I must second Valor trrucks history and rock music and five hundred songs, spent the entire baseball off seasoning listening to the podcast seasoning Baseball off season, listening to the podcast. so addicting that I've been putting off listening to It's a thing Whoa. Wha, whoa, shots fired, Eric. Oh Also, Eric says, Bog bags are too ladyli for me. I need a mEse equivalent between you and your masculinity, bro Well, if somebody's like, maybe you're a butch lady and you're like, yeah, no, I want a mercy type thing Do we have any suggestions out there?

Anyway, yes, if you have bse like equivalents, that us s but I will say that my knocko bog bag as House Purse has been Aaze balls, absolutely life changing L love it Then on fiber right We have an email from Ben on the topic of fiber because that's the age rge of our show now, apparently Hello, thing Fishianados. In a fit of things converging in the wild, I got served this ad on Instagram yesterday. Not only am I seeing fiber content being advertised But just about everything seems ripe for maxing recently So why not both? This bread add attached purports to help you on your fiber maxing journey I haven't tried this breread and I don't know if I will But I might, if only for the sheer ridiculousness in its ad strategy It's literally comm. Fiber O a wheat fiber power bread This is just whole wheat bread And it says, by the way, multig group in the ad. Yeah There's like a headline fiber maxing question mark Yeah, isn't that? Doesn't that sound to you like it was probably the OG content of this bread to start with. Oh, this is this is like multig grain or sixteen grain O a wheat that they renamed fiber powerower. Probably but they didn't have to change a thing, which is no Exactly.'s that's genius Brailing Wow, Maxing really took off way more than I thought. We have max maxed. We've maxing max Dids maxinct Lee Price has some more internet native horror for us. Your discussion on backrooms reminded me of another internet native horror project that I've been waiting for a producer to adapt Mystery flush pit has been kicking around online for about a decade now The basic conceit is that a colossal organism has been discovered beneath the Eth and has been turned into a national park where you can travel inside the creature and observe horrible things. There's a Eurovision song Cuseest analogy here somewhere There's a lot more to it, but it's so ripe for adaptation and there's been a lot of fan creative media around it over the years. Wikipedia has an overview, but the really fun stuff is the meticulously created official tumblr featuring convincingly designed Ephemera Knowing it's the thing's track record, I estimate it'll take three weeks before someone contacts you with convincing evidence that the mystery flesh pit is canonically bisexual Oh bravo, Bravo. that last line that was amazing. Yeah. That tracks. Oh my God, Mystery Flesesh pit, by the way, is exactly how I am feeling after like two weeks on the couch. And I'm never giving that up. I'm co opting it immediately There's so much there's so much you might say that it contains depths. Really, yeah, wow. I need to know about that one Uh Kristen writes in, Hey, Molly Tom and Rich, greeting from Toronto. Now that it's summer, I've noticed recently everyone calling diet Coke a fridge cigarette or fridge sig For short, I've also heard of diet Coke with espresso alsoso being called this Anyone else or is this a Canadian thing that hasn't made it stateside yet I haven't I've heard of a cigarette. Yes. quest. Yep, can confirm Diet Ccon espresso what? Mhm. put them definitely seen Sodas with coffee in them. I think what I saw was a Pepsi though, not a diet of Coke. Allright I'm trying to do much like a human quantum computer simulate those flavors in my mouth. likeike I'm trying to Imagine what that's like it's not, you know, C Ca and coffee aren't too far apart on taste scale. So it's not it's not like it's disgusting Whether it improves the drink or not. mileage may vary. It's like the sprite iced tea that I bought. the other day I mean, what is happening with the beverage industry right now Now, what's funny is I posted the Sprite ICT on Instagram and said, I tried it. It was like somebody dumped ic tea in your sprite. whichich is necessarily bad, but I'm not sure I want that And a couple of people like, oh, I love this stuff. I drink it all the time. I'm like K I just trying to come up with clever, more increasingly clever ways to get sugar into your body. Like what is happening? They are trying to come up with any way to make you go go from like sprite to like, oh, interesting Right? That's why you have seven thousand different types of crest, toothpaste. Because our little human brains get tired of buying the same thing every day. So if we see something new, we go,, what's that? Better try it, seeee what it's like Also it's very possible that people have been in fact returning to water And even fizzy water? I know crazy. So they might just be increasingly desperate to sell you know, hopped up like sugar water for a huge profit. I don't know. It weird. Well it was by the way, it was sprite zero the . Okay. So but I think you're onto something, which is Y Everybody's into the spin drrifts now How do we steer them back to another thing Yeah. we started mad scientists combining them and also protein slash f. Because it was zero sugar. That was one of the reasons I went ahead and did it. I was like, okay, I'm curious. I want tona try.

A thing. maxing Not a meaning Graamma I Is it a thing to just give normal everyday liivving behaviors, names and then turn them content?

Yes, definitely A hat tip real quick to Ben from O'Fallon, Illinois who wrote to us about Tarpft being a thing just as our last episode published. So that was true synchronicity O'Fallon is the good O'Fallon. There's also the evil O'Fallon in Missouri that is, you know, if you fold the map at Mississippi, my good friend Nicole is from the other O'Fallon, but she's okay. She made it out. ye Good to know. Joe Hood said hello. I saw him this weekend at Nertacular in Salt Lake City.. Yeah. I have the wooden. it's a thing sign And Oh I mentioned that I finally said it He was very happy to hear that. I've literally beening to figure out where to put it so that it's in the shot. I think it might go on this closet wall behind me. Oh yeah, that's a good spot. All right It won't be suuper visible, but See, if you send us something, it only takes us five years text Most of that was me finally getting my butt down to the do ost office, but yeah, one, I'm terrible at that and two. I have now had it for what eight or nine months. so you know Yeah, you haven't even had it a year. so you're still in the minor time frame. Joe has a new thing with the kids. Hello To Marie. I have encountered the new generation of Valley Girl talkalk, up spepeak slash vocal fry. My teen daughter and her friends all add H at the end of words, especially when they're excited or frustrated. I want it now The more emotion involved, the longer the added syllable becomes. A quick search suggests that it has been around for a while, so maybe my experience with it is due to having a teen girl around all the time. But I have been noticing it online as well. As always, you guys are the best the b star U I do think that this has gotten more noticeable recently, likeike it's always it's been It's existed But I do think that that particular Vocal fry has gotten more intense. And also speaking of Valley spepeak, I'm happy because I do this all the time still, which is embarrassing, but like like you would not believe. Oh that's good. Higher loveve Island conversations that are basically I like I mean, it's like I like I like like you like but like like I'm not sure if I like like you like I don't like know if you like like like me like like like all the like way. I mean this I'm not even exaggerating. That was an actual conversation. That's great I'm happy to hear that. as a serial like offender I know. I like like it. I welcome the vocal frack because it's fun. Like Liz in Norfolk has a Tarps off evolution, dear purveyor of fine thingsings. I know you must have caught a bunch of this footage, but when I saw one real entitled, o my Godd, thing Bert thing version is about to happen again When I saw one reel entitled Tarps off meets Tartan Army. I knew I had to reach out and send a link to this real of the Tartan Army apparently ripping their, you know shirts off. And she writes as someone who used to live in Glasgow prronounce Glasgow. She says not Glasgow I was also particularly delighted by one detail. In Glasgow, there's a statue of the Duke of Wellington, which has worn a traffic cone for decades because the police lost the running battle between them taking the cone down off the statue and drunk Glaswgians putting it back They now don't even try to take it down. So no greater honor can be bestowed on a city. Then the Scot's placing traffic cones on the statues, which is exactly what is happening in Boston this week. Amid the singing, bag pipe marches, Fenway invasion and other brilliant shenanigans, the Scottish fans also gave to a charity or give to a charity in every county and country that they visit, Tartan Army forever Y That is beautiful Thank you, Liz Incredible. I can't believe that we got that like thing formation in the extreme perfect. W Wow Beautiful. You know, TarPps Off has just become a regular part of the Cardinals baseball broadcast. like they check in multiple times throughout the games with You know, what's happening in Tarpps off? Ohh, somebody just entered the tarps off and they're they're they're doing the champ to get him to take the tarp off. Like it's it's part of the play by play now I had no idea that it would spread so far so fast. Yeah Um, okay, hold on. I have a plan. Wait for me Okay. Becauseuse my plant home. You're a cylon into You have a plant Exactly. I have a plan just stay with me. This is going to be totally worth it va VR shoutouts. Ah yes, I see I see the need for the plan now certainly Yeah which is is a call for innovation our shoutouts are created by producer Rich Drofolino And each week he finds some new way to shout out our patrons in a way that no other podcast could U so So we appreciate that he does this And this week You could look at our rundown and think, huh, maybe Rich. putut his shout outs in by mistake. You could think that I think what's happening is that rich has challenged us. It has challenged us And what he has challenged us to do is one, get signed into Claude In time U to pull this off or default to Gemini if you need to. But what Rich was really waiting for, I think, is for us to determine based on the theme of the show How to do the shouts in the most Scottish possible Of course, Of course. I mean, if if you're even looking with one eye open, it's obvious that's what he wanted us to do And so you would just real quick hop skip over to your favorite LLM and say H including the name a fish and you would putut the name in and not your Google password. Yeah, don't put that on the internet No, the big problem exactly. Never give an LLM your password Yeah, Don't give anyone your password, especially an LO. All right, and then what you would do is just get her done Copy response paste. More Jesus Why would it be like that then you you marvel Then you marvel at how incredible technology. Yeah Th then you attempt to open like trust me guys, this is going to work. I know that you're skeptical I was trying to buy you time earlier, but apparently I didn't buy enough time. No, there's never gonna be enough time, hold on Yeah. We're going we're going to we got this though. we got it I'm talking on Friday to Craig who works at data centers about what it's like to work inside of them. It just made me think of data centers because you were using Cloud Right, totally. All right, so now I want to know how to des I know exactly. How do I like to search and replace? Why would it? I love that you can copy this by the way, but you can't Um, but it copies it with like words for the right arrow. I want to just a little sneak peek for people who are watching the video.
