Ramia Lloyd :
Welcome to the TechTrends Podcast, where we discuss the latest manufacturing, technology, research, and news. Today's episode is sponsored by Modern Machine Shop Made in the USA Podcast. Hi, guys.
Benjamin Moses :
Guys.
Elissa Davis:
Hello.
Benjamin Moses :
I hear Legally Blonde is coming out again?
Elissa Davis:
Yes.
Benjamin Moses :
Tell me more, and I have questions.
Elissa Davis:
Okay. So originally, I think it did come out that it was going to be like Legally Blonde 3, right?
Benjamin Moses :
Sure.
Elissa Davis:
But then they were like, actually, we're going to make this prequel series.
Benjamin Moses :
Oh, serious? Okay.
Elissa Davis:
And I'm a hardcore Legally Blonde fan. I can quote it from start to finish. And I also love the second one. Sally Field is in it. How can you not love the second one?
Ramia Lloyd :
Have you seen Legally Blondes?
Elissa Davis:
Yes, I have.
Ramia Lloyd :
Because that one is actually my favorite.
Elissa Davis:
You mean the nieces of Elle Woods, yes.
Ramia Lloyd :
I don't know why that one's my favorite, but it is.
Yes.
Elissa Davis:
They ate.
Stephen LaMarca:
[inaudible 00:00:59] see that one.
Elissa Davis:
I think you also mentioned-
Stephen LaMarca:
It was straight to DVD.
Benjamin Moses :
... prepping that Reese Witherspoon, who was in the movie, is producing the series, right?
Elissa Davis:
Yeah. So it's her and her production company, Hello Sunshine.
Benjamin Moses :
Oh, that's cool.
Elissa Davis:
They are producing the series-
Ramia Lloyd :
That's so cute.
Elissa Davis:
... and I'm-
Benjamin Moses :
A big fan of actors turned producers.
Elissa Davis:
Well, okay, again, I love Reese Witherspoon.
Stephen LaMarca:
Same thing happens to auarterbacks.
Elissa Davis:
... think it's tied to Legally Blonde, but also the person who is playing Elle was announced two days ago and she looks just like young Reese Witherspoon-
Benjamin Moses :
That's fun. [inaudible 00:01:34].
Elissa Davis:
... even older Reese Witherspoon, but young Reese Witherspoon. The only one who could possibly play her any closer would be her daughter who is literally her carbon copy.
Yeah, no, they look exactly alike.
Ramia Lloyd :
Yes.
Benjamin Moses :
I'm glad to do that because the aging CG is terrible.
Stephen LaMarca:
It's really bad.
Ramia Lloyd :
Oh, yeah.
Benjamin Moses :
It's bad.
Elissa Davis:
It was awful.
Ramia Lloyd :
@ Dear Evan Hansen.
Benjamin Moses :
So the question I have for you guys is what's an older movie that you would like to be remade and who should remake it since? Legally Blonde is... she was in the movie.
Elissa Davis:
Yes.
Benjamin Moses :
And she's now producing it. What's another movie you guys would like to see remade?
Ramia Lloyd :
I want to see The Green Lantern produced by Ryan Reynolds.
Benjamin Moses :
You're the only one.
Ramia Lloyd :
Absolutely. But I want it to be a spoof and I want him to just every five seconds we all talk... Just like every other of his movies where he talks about how bad the Green Lantern is I really want him to own it. I need him to be aware and I need him to really understand that this is the only redemption he's going to get.
Benjamin Moses :
This is not acceptable.
Elissa Davis:
It's not.
Benjamin Moses :
[inaudible 00:02:29].
Ramia Lloyd :
Because Green Lantern is good and you just...
Benjamin Moses :
So DC does a really good job on the cartoon movies.
Ramia Lloyd :
Yes.
Benjamin Moses :
But once they translate live action... This is just terrible. So I like that idea, but if he did a cartoon version of that, I think it'd be really good.
Ramia Lloyd :
That's a good idea. I like that too. So if you're watching this, Ryan Reynolds-
Benjamin Moses :
Call me, we'll produce it.
Ramia Lloyd :
[inaudible 00:02:49].
Elissa Davis:
I am kind of excited about the new Superman movie because the guy actually looks like...
Ramia Lloyd :
Oh my god, yes.
Elissa Davis:
The difference between Clark Kent and Superman, he looks different enough where I'm like, yeah, I'd think it was him and they'd be like, nah.
Ramia Lloyd :
They would get me every time. I'd be like, no way. No way. Put them together.
Benjamin Moses :
There is an evolution in this uniform and one of them, he does have the tighty-whities on the outside.
Elissa Davis:
I love it.
Benjamin Moses :
It looks pretty good.
Elissa Davis:
Love. Classic.
Ramia Lloyd :
Also, my favorite scene in the trailer is when they hit him in the head with the thing as he's walking into the building and I just want him to turn around and-
Benjamin Moses :
And zap them.
Elissa Davis:
Just zap them. You're gone. That was what I'd do.
Benjamin Moses :
He turns into the boys right away.
Ramia Lloyd :
Exactly, exactly. I think I watched too much of The Boys because Home Lander's taking them out.
Elissa Davis:
So I would want to see a remake of when Harry Met Sally, and that's partially-
Benjamin Moses :
Harry Met Sally.
Elissa Davis:
Okay, so part of me is like, I hate that because it's the perfect rom-com.
It's cute, yeah.
It is the perfect rom-com. It is the pacing, the casting, the sets, all of it, perfect. Carrie Fisher's in it. It's amazing. And I would basically die for Billy Crystal. But I would want him to come back and produce it and I'd want... The hard part is that all of those iconic romantic comedies from that era, You've got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, it was written by Nora Efron who has unfortunately passed away. So we'd have to get Meg Ryan in on the writing and people who have that very similar style. So it'd be really hard to remake it. It's hard because I would love to see it again in a new version, but also it's just such a perfect movie.
Benjamin Moses :
I think for me, I have a similar sentiment. So Tombstone, I have a really strong emotional attachment.
Stephen LaMarca:
Love.
Benjamin Moses :
I would watch that over... My wife I was dating at the time, just complains about it because we watch it so much. I would just come home and just put it on.
Stephen LaMarca:
Oh my God.
Benjamin Moses :
It'd just play in the background for us.
Stephen LaMarca:
This is a side I've never seen a Ben before. You are so white.
Benjamin Moses :
A remake of Tombstone, but I'm not sure because a lot of modern westerns are actually really good. We tend to... Yuma's really good, but I wonder if a modern interpretation of Tombstone in current setting would be interesting for me. And having, I forgot the actors-
Elissa Davis:
Val Kilmer?
Benjamin Moses :
Val Kilmer or Kurt Russell, one of those guys produce it. I think it would be really interesting for me.
Stephen LaMarca:
That's a great answer to that question.
Elissa Davis:
1993?
Did you know that there's someone at this office, I'm not going to name their name, but it might be my boss who didn't know what Tombstone was.
Ramia Lloyd :
It's me.
Benjamin Moses :
It's a pizza company.
Ramia Lloyd :
I'm literally googling it right now and I'm like 1993?
Benjamin Moses :
You should watch it.
Elissa Davis:
But also-
Stephen LaMarca:
The remake of 3:10 to Yuma was great. The remake of True Grit was great.
Elissa Davis:
True Grit was really good. Closer to the book.
Stephen LaMarca:
Oh, man.
Benjamin Moses :
And then the precursors for Yellowstone are actually pretty good.
Stephen LaMarca:
Interesting.
Benjamin Moses :
So yeah, I would be up for tombstone. Steve, what's yours?
Stephen LaMarca:
So I immediately wanted to default to one of my favorites, if not my favorite movie, Pulp Fiction. But I think that Tarantino is still alive and still has one more movie to go in his manifesto before he's retiring.
Benjamin Moses :
I think Tarantino is actually humanoid robot. He's not really alive.
Stephen LaMarca:
Yeah, I think he's an early generation, which transitions to my real answer. But before we get there, I'm really hoping that Mel Brooks pulls a Norm MacDonald because I think Mel Brooks is still alive, right?
Benjamin Moses :
Probably.
Stephen LaMarca:
Also, has the most cancel-worthy movies in his resume-
Benjamin Moses :
That's true.
Stephen LaMarca:
... ever. These movies that he made in the past cannot come up today, probably shouldn't even be studied.
Benjamin Moses :
Or in your library.
Stephen LaMarca:
But I'm really hoping... Yes, or in your library, but I'm really hoping that Mel Brooks has one final hurrah movie that he had produced like The Producers under cloak and dagger-
Benjamin Moses :
Sure.
Stephen LaMarca:
... and is not going to release until he dies.
Benjamin Moses :
In your comments, write down your favorite Mel Brooks movie.
Stephen LaMarca:
But my final answer to the Android part that-
Benjamin Moses :
Quentin Tarantino?
Stephen LaMarca:
... Tarantino reminds me of, I want to see Aliens.
Benjamin Moses :
Oh, the second one? Aliens, right, not-
Stephen LaMarca:
Big Alien Universe fan. And I want to see Aliens redone. I want Sigourney Weaver coming back, but my problem is every Aliens movie after the first two, after Alien and Aliens, all of the fans, myself included, want answers or they want our questions answered with the next movie that comes out and every follow-up movie answers none of them and just makes us ask more.
Benjamin Moses :
It's a big tease. it's a long way.
Elissa Davis:
Some day we're going to have to debate about Quentin Tarantino because I have very strong feelings about him and they're not positive-
Stephen LaMarca:
As you should, as you should.
Elissa Davis:
They're not, but-
Stephen LaMarca:
He's-
Benjamin Moses :
Write down your feelings in the comments about Quentin Tarantino.
Ramia Lloyd :
Yeah, and also like and share while you're there.
Elissa Davis:
Although knowing our audience, our audience probably likes Quentin Tarantino.
Stephen LaMarca:
Unhinged People do the most beautiful work.
Elissa Davis:
[inaudible 00:07:54].

Benjamin Moses :
Besides that.
Stephen LaMarca:
Comment down below.
Benjamin Moses :
Tell me about cars.
Stephen LaMarca:
I want to talk about cars.
Elissa Davis:
Cars.
Ramia Lloyd :
Ka-Chow. I'm done.
Stephen LaMarca:
A couple episodes back, maybe even before Elissa and Ramia joined us-
Elissa Davis:
Like how you say a couple episodes back. That was a year and a half ago.
Ramia Lloyd :
At least 30.
Benjamin Moses :
That was a year ago.
Stephen LaMarca:
Just let me go, let me cook.
Ramia Lloyd :
Let me cook. Let him cook.
Stephen LaMarca:
Ben brought up Gran Turismo years ago and I had put it off because I was damaged and hurt by Gran Turismo 6 and Gran Turismo Sport because they started going down the same route that Call of Duty went down and started catering to the e-sports audience and not the enthusiasts. Two years, three years now, after the release of Gran Turismo 7, I finally got it. It was actually gifted to me by my wife for Valentine's Day and it was actually 72 hours before I even played it. I didn't play it immediately just because I wasn't ready to... Something that I grew up with and I hold dear to my heart, I wasn't ready to see how they once again butchered my boy.
Ramia Lloyd :
Why am I going to cry? My boy.
Stephen LaMarca:
But Gran Turismo 7 is amazing and the intro video is always so well overproduced, but what's really awesome about it is in that intro video, you get a glimpse of the production of modern cars and you see a lot of modern advanced automation and workholding being used to make these cars without a human in sight and it's so cool, a lot of phantic robots. But finally I wanted to say they're finally got back into Gran Turismo. It re-lit the flame and love that I have for cars again, not that it ever went anywhere, but it was definitely turned down. It was definitely the Tomb of the Forgotten Soldier levels of flame. It was just hanging on by a thread.
Benjamin Moses :
Such a-
Stephen LaMarca:
But Gran Turismo really brought it back for me.
Benjamin Moses :
Such a roller coaster of emotion.
Ramia Lloyd :
Yeah.
Elissa Davis:
Such a deep cut-
Ramia Lloyd :
I feel like I was there.
Stephen LaMarca:
We're not done with the... We're coming back to manufacturing technology, I promise. But the 2025 Corvette... Stop. The 2025 Corvette-
Ramia Lloyd :
It's like you're sending a telegram, the 2025 Corvette, stop.
Stephen LaMarca:
2025 Corvette ZR1-
Benjamin Moses :
Fantastic car.
Stephen LaMarca:
... incredible car. There's a few things that I want to talk about.
Elissa Davis:
Does it go fast?
Stephen LaMarca:
It goes really fast. It's putting down blistering lap times around legendary circuits around the US. They haven't sent it to the Nürburgring yet, which is a 12.9 mile racetrack in Germany that is not allowed to be used for a lot of races because it's so dangerous. They built it after World War II so Germany could rebuild as a country. I went there two years ago now and it was a very religious experience for me because I had been racing it on video games for long and now I saw that it was real. They haven't sent it there yet, but that's where a lot of manufacturers send their cars to see how fast they truly. Are and the Corvette's going to go there.
But what's really cool about the Corvette, the Corvette's always been a world-class sports car made by an American company, and the American car companies are not typically respected around the world because they typically make junk. But when it comes to fast cars and burning a lot of gas for not a lot of money, American car manufacturers, they bring it. They bring it hard.
And I want to talk about the accessibility because it's always been known that the Chevy Corvette has been a lot of performance, Ferrari-matching levels of performance for a 10th of the price. This ZR1 is putting down lap times that are better than prototype race cars, Le Mans race cars. I think the tracks around the US, including Willow Springs and Watkins Glen, the top 10 list of fastest lap times for production cars, half of them are not street legal. The Corvette is the top street legal, and then there's a few more non-street legal cars, and then it's something extreme, a multi-million dollar Porsche 918 or something crazy like that, McLaren W1, whatever, which is literally a multi-million dollar car and they're making this car go brr for only $175,000, only.
But what's the best part about it? When a car manufacturer sends their car to go to these racetracks to put down a blistering lap time to show the world how fast this production car is, they typically put a seasoned race car driver with an awesome resume and a serious pedigree behind the wheel to do it. Chevy sent the car to these tracks and just put their engineers in the car.
Benjamin Moses :
That's awesome.
Stephen LaMarca:
Ordinary humans with maybe a couple track days of experience, but absolutely have never been in a real race before.
Elissa Davis:
It seems dangerous.
Stephen LaMarca:
And they're putting down these insane lap times from an ordinary human. It's just wild. So it's a whole new level of accessibility and-
Benjamin Moses :
I can see the connection back to-
Elissa Davis:
Sounds like-
Benjamin Moses :
Sorry, go ahead.
Elissa Davis:
Sorry. I was going to say it sounds like a whole new level of liability.
Benjamin Moses :
It sounds like a connection back to your Gran Turismo experience because you're just a random dude in these sports cards and they're literally doing what you were doing in Gran Turismo.
Stephen LaMarca:
Yeah, it's going to be exciting to see what digital twins they use to train the engineers to be able to put down a blistering lap like that with no experience. I can't imagine the neck workouts these engineers had to do to be ready to do that because if you look at a Formula 1 driver, they have the thickest neck ever. There's no way an off-the-rack Brooks Brother's shirt would fit any race car driver.
Benjamin Moses :
Yeah, proportions are going to-
Stephen LaMarca:
They need a massive collar. But-
Elissa Davis:
I was like, where are you going with this?
Stephen LaMarca:
... it just goes into the return of the internal combustion engine. Because another topic that I want to touch on, hit my feed this morning, was Porsche is investing $821 million to not cancel, but to turn back their EV efforts and go back to internal combustion engines. So it's like gas, one baby. We're going back.
Benjamin Moses :
It's funny you mentioned that because Porsche I feel like does a lot of cutting edge with their motors and their engines. So I feel like a lot of that money... You would ask why do they spend so much money? But I feel like they want to push their efficiency so much higher so they don't want to get to the 50, 60, 70 miles per gallon on their motors.
Stephen LaMarca:
Right. How people still aren't talking about the fact that a couple years ago they made this plant in South America that pulled carbon monoxide and CO2 from the atmosphere and reconverted it back to gasoline.
Benjamin Moses :
That's cool.
Stephen LaMarca:
Now, that synthetic gasoline that they pull from the atmosphere costs roughly $1700 per gallon.
Benjamin Moses :
Sure.
Ramia Lloyd :
Wow.
Elissa Davis:
Total cost-effective, absolutely.
Stephen LaMarca:
But it's we just need to build infrastructure and then we can do it all the time. And the next generation can't afford... I'm not going to be able to experience any of that.
Benjamin Moses :
I think that's in line with a lot of the economicists that has been at MPForecast where they see EVs fairly not short-lived, but there's a lifespan to the EV end product either shifting back to hybrids, or like in Porsche's case going to a completely internal combustion. It's a very interesting shift to see where they're headed and what they produce from here. Elissa?
Ramia Lloyd :
Yeah.
Benjamin Moses :
You got some news on 911?
Ramia Lloyd :
Yeah, not the television show.
Elissa Davis:
Great show.
Ramia Lloyd :
It is a great show though.
Elissa Davis:
I love that show.
Stephen LaMarca:
That's a great market.
Elissa Davis:
Definitely recommend it. Sorry, when he was talking about they pulled the CO2, I was watching the show Unstable on Netflix, which stars Rob Lowe and his son-
Ramia Lloyd :
Rob Lowe.
Elissa Davis:
You don't like him?
Ramia Lloyd :
I don't know. He just is everywhere.
Elissa Davis:
Well, he's a manic genius kind of person in the show. And so they were talking about how they were doing just that, but instead of gasoline, they were creating concrete or something. And I was like-
Benjamin Moses :
That sounds familiar actually.
Elissa Davis:
... I wish that was real.
Benjamin Moses :
Actually, back to the movies. I want to produce a movie where I'm the smart guy. I'm just a genius who can solve everything.
Ramia Lloyd :
I want to be the guy in the chair that is eating chips and he's like, "I'm in."
Benjamin Moses :
The fake hacker?
Ramia Lloyd :
Yeah, he's like, "Oh, I got it." Shut up.
Benjamin Moses :
You're just streaming Matrix video in the background.
Stephen LaMarca:
Oh man, like the Russian guy from GoldenEye, "I'm invincible." He gets covered in liquid nitrogen.
Elissa Davis:
Oh no.
Ramia Lloyd :
I don't think I want to be that.
Elissa Davis:
Well, you know what he should have done is call 911 and-
Benjamin Moses :
Excellent segue.
Elissa Davis:
Thank you.
Ramia Lloyd :
We should do this on Friday more often.
Elissa Davis:
So a Mizzou assistant professor who, Mizzou for people who don't know is the University of Missouri, and-
Stephen LaMarca:
Did not know.
Elissa Davis:
Oh, you didn't know that?
Ramia Lloyd :
Big 10.
Stephen LaMarca:
No.
Elissa Davis:
Yeah, it's called Mizzou.
Ramia Lloyd :
Big 10.
Elissa Davis:
And so he's an expert in stochastic optimization and machine learning, and he's working with the University of Cincinnati and Texas Tech University to solve a stochastic puzzle for Texas 911 Alliance, allowing them to rescue their services from a fiscal disaster. So in 2022, the deficit for 911 funding was $75.9 million-
Ramia Lloyd :
Oh my god.
Elissa Davis:
... and by 2027 it's expected to grow to 112.9 million, which is a 48% increase. So basically they need to find a way to streamline the process and that's what he's building. So the stochastic optimization machine learning to analyze the uncertainty and the number of 911 calls, the demand for services, and how changes and fees will impact funding. So there's actually service fees through wireless providers, and it's only seven states that have this, but there's a service fee if you call 911 from a wireless provider and it's like 50 or 75 cents, something like that, but we don't pay it. The company pays it. And so-
Stephen LaMarca:
What company? The service provider company pays it?
Elissa Davis:
Yeah, I believe so. But they also did some surveying people in Texas and 78% of them said they're willing to put more towards helping 911 services. And it's like, well yeah.
Ramia Lloyd :
That seems important. That seems a little important.
Stephen LaMarca:
Texas?
Ramia Lloyd :
Yeah.
Stephen LaMarca:
Impressive.
Elissa Davis:
Yeah, Texas is weird. They got their own electric grid and everything.
Stephen LaMarca:
I thought they got the big iron on their hip. They don't need no cop. Sorry. Going back to [inaudible 00:19:58].
Elissa Davis:
So Missouri, where the university is located, does not charge a wireless fee but could take on a similar approach to deciphering their data for the 911 services because the professor, whose name is Hong Yong Suk Na-
Ramia Lloyd :
Very good.
Elissa Davis:
... is going to share it with the Missouri 911 service board. And then the people who are working with them on this are Rob Grace of University of Cincinnati, and co-investigators, Wesley Wade and Chang Juan's son of Texas Tech University.
Benjamin Moses :
That's a fascinating project.
Elissa Davis:
Yeah.
Ramia Lloyd :
Yeah, that's kind of cool.
Elissa Davis:
I didn't even know something we needed until that came up and I was like, I guess because I watched the show 9-1-1, I just assume we have a plethora of 911 operators there to take the calls. There's no issues.
What's her name? I can't think of her right now.
Ramia Lloyd :
Maddie.
Elissa Davis:
Yeah. Maddie, she's great.
Benjamin Moses :
It's interesting you bring that up because air traffic controllers came up as a topic recently because of the flight issues and crashes where the requirement of human guidance or human orchestration is still really relevant. So having someone to be like a 911 operator is still super relevant. And I think there's a lot of applications where there's a lot of human coordination or human interaction that needs to be supplemented at some point and being able to supplement... Because in one of the articles I was reading about air traffic controllers was the aging workforce and it's very rigorous and it's a difficult workload so the career expectancy is fairly short. Why does it have to be that way? The evolution of the workforce is changing quite a bit, so that's fascinating.
So I have a question for you guys. We can either, I forgot to talk about a topic in the earlier section-
Stephen LaMarca:
We did.
Benjamin Moses :
... so we can either talk about dying by asteroids.
Stephen LaMarca:
Space.
Ramia Lloyd :
Hell yeah.
Benjamin Moses :
Or non-planar toolpaths optimization.
Ramia Lloyd :
Asteroid death. Just kidding.
Elissa Davis:
Well, we can't call the episode Death by Asteroid if we don't talk about the death by asteroids.
Ramia Lloyd :
There was something else we talked about and I was like, we should name it that. I don't remember though.
Benjamin Moses :
We'll find out. We'll look back.
Stephen LaMarca:
Big Iron?
Ramia Lloyd :
No.
Stephen LaMarca:
Big iron.
Ramia Lloyd :
Let him cook. Let him cook. That's what it was.
Benjamin Moses :
That's pretty good.
Ramia Lloyd :
We'll just edit this part out. It's fine. I was thinking-
Benjamin Moses :
Just leave it in.
Ramia Lloyd :
Okay, that's fine.
A little behind the scenes peak. We're so real.
Benjamin Moses :
Who had the stuff for the asteroids?
Elissa Davis:
Oh, that was me.
Benjamin Moses :
That was you. Let's talk about asteroids.
Elissa Davis:
Yeah, let me pull that out.
Ramia Lloyd :
Steven was really excited about the other topic.
Benjamin Moses :
We'll place the link for the non-planar toolpaths because it is related additive. So it's additive manufacturing non-planar toolpaths, which for some process and equipment, it's not relevant or it's baked into it, but it gets into the Air Force is funding it. So it's an interesting project.
Ramia Lloyd :
We should do it. We'll do a sneak peek for next episode.
Stephen LaMarca:
Why not?
Ramia Lloyd :
Join us.
Elissa Davis:
So NASA says that there is a 2.3% chance of an asteroid hitting earth in 2032. It's a 300-foot-long asteroid called the 2024 YR4 and the chances of collision are low. But NASA said there's a 2.3% chance that the asteroid will hit earth in 2032.
Benjamin Moses :
That's a big percentage for astrophysics.
Stephen LaMarca:
It is a big percentage. I don't like those odds. But also-
Elissa Davis:
It's only 300 feet-
Stephen LaMarca:
... 300 foot?
Elissa Davis:
... it's not that big.
Stephen LaMarca:
Listen, kinetic energy is-
Benjamin Moses :
That's like a, what, 30 story building?
Stephen LaMarca:
Yeah, I don't want a building coming at my planet at the speed of a bullet-
Elissa Davis:
Maybe we can move the planet-
Stephen LaMarca:
... entering the atmosphere.
Elissa Davis:
... in a way in which so it hits just the right.
Ramia Lloyd :
Won't it get smaller?
Benjamin Moses :
Guys-
Elissa Davis:
Yeah, it will.
Benjamin Moses :
... why did I not put this? We should remake Armageddon.
Elissa Davis:
[inaudible 00:23:50].
Ramia Lloyd :
It's truly just a documentary.
Benjamin Moses :
It's a lead up to the asteroid hitting us.
Ramia Lloyd :
But this happened in an episode of 9-1-1.
Benjamin Moses :
An asteroid?
Ramia Lloyd :
This lady's depressed on the couch and she gets a weighted blanket and an asteroid hits her while she's on the couch through the weighted blanket and they have to move her with the entire-
Elissa Davis:
Yes.
Ramia Lloyd :
... and she's just like. Watch 9-1-1, the most craziest things happen.
Elissa Davis:
Apparently if you watch 9-1-1, you'll realize only weird things happen in LA apparently.
Ramia Lloyd :
Yeah, they have-
And Austin.
Elissa Davis:
It truly makes you never want to move there.
Stephen LaMarca:
Does that track?
Elissa Davis:
No, it probably [inaudible 00:24:23].
Apparently there's tsunamis in LA.
Ramia Lloyd :
No, the craziest one, beenado that caught on fire.
Oh, yes.
The whole premise of this episode is that there was some bees that got out and-
Elissa Davis:
Killer bees.
Ramia Lloyd :
... they're like this giant swarm-
Elissa Davis:
Killer bees.
Ramia Lloyd :
... of killer bees and they somehow turn into this bee tornado. There's a guy in a plane and he's flying in this small plane and he gets attacked by bees and he veers off course and runs into a big plane. And then frickin, Angela Bassett girl needs a vacation, Angela Bassett has to fly this plane because she had to pick up this passenger from Texas or something. The passenger that she's picking up-
Elissa Davis:
