[THEME SONG PLAYING]
FELICIA DAY: Hey everybody, Felicia Day here.
I want to talk about human arrogance this morning and the
idea that we mere morals can control or
dictate the flow of time.
Because if we didn't have this whole time shifting thing
happening, I could be sleeping right now.
So now I've got to redo my watch.
Spring forward, fall back.
Wait a second.
Oh, we got an hour.
An extra hour, so--
[CHUCKLE].
See me in March.
Hey everybody, welcome to "The Flog." I am so super excited
because I'm going to Australia this week, hey mate.
Hey.
But first, I'm going to go vote.
Because as an American citizen, I feel like it's my
duty to vote.
Hey guys, we get to pick our leaders.
I don't want to do that job, do you?
Let's get some other guy in there.
Or girl, maybe, one day.
That would be nice.
So just go out, find your polling place-- if you don't
know where that is, it's vote411.org--
and just do it.
It's our American right, mates.
On the barbie.
That was super confusing.
Oh, Trio Mio.
Number one this week is a really cool new toy called
Little Bit.
Little Bits are electronic modules that snap together
like LEGOs.
Every module has a different function.
There are four kinds of modules, input,
output, wire, and power.
They're designed so that anybody, kid or adult, can put
them together with ease using the tools of computer
scientists and engineers.
Look at this.
I put together this part with this part to this part to this
part, and I made a lamp.
It's a Geekandsundry lamp.
Huh?
It was hard.
Anyway, you can find them at littlebits.cc.
Number two this week is Dog Shaming.
Welcome to the Tumblr where people post pictures of their
dogs in the same way that angry retailers would post
pictures of shoplifters.
I have to say this site almost made me pee myself from
laughing, which would have been a really bad precedent to
set for Cubby.
Just check out some of these pictures, though.
Oh, this was my favorite.
I mean, look at his face.
But then it's such a bad thing.
But then it's cute.
I made one for Cubby, but for some reason, they
didn't accept it.
Lastly was a viewer suggestion from Mauritzio Dinitz.
I hope I said that right.
It is a thought provoking and bizarre platformer called "The
End." Basically, you create your character,
and then you die.
And after you die, you take your character into--
let's just call it dark, doomy death places.
You have to solve puzzles.
You go through these weird dream worlds.
Most importantly, before each boss battle, you have to
answer this deep, philosophical question.
And the answer affects the outcome of the battle.
It's very artistically done and
beautiful, so check it out.
But not if you're depressed, because it's kind of a
wrist-slitter.
All right.
Onto the segment.
This week, Robin and I cook up some team spirit and make some
Lakers-themed desserts.
[BOOING]
FELICIA DAY: Don't complain, we are going to accommodate
every team.
Kind of.
A little bit.
Hey, look at my outfit.
You get it now, right?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
FELICIA DAY: My friend Robin is back.
ROBIN THORSEN: Hello.
FELICIA DAY: To cook again with me.
Since it's sports season, I thought it would be kind of
fun to do a sports tea time.
Right?
ROBIN THORSEN: Oh, why not?
FELICIA DAY: So what I've done is I've found three different
desserts that you can dye to match your
favorite sports team.
Since I've been to two Lakers games cause somebody gave me
free tickets, I figured that's my team.
ROBIN THORSEN: Clearly, that's your team.
FELICIA DAY: So our first recipe is macaroon.
This recipe is from a really cool blog called
foodnoveau.com.
ROBIN THORSEN: Dut-dut-dut.
[GROAN]
ROBIN THORSEN: OK.
FELICIA DAY: We've got to put this
stuff in the food processor.
And this is not a healthy meal.
ROBIN THORSEN: Maybe we don't have to do it for a minute.
FELICIA DAY: Oh no.
ROBIN THORSEN: What?
FELICIA DAY: We got to sieve this.
Oh, that is fun.
ROBIN THORSEN: Right?
FELICIA DAY: That's pretty cool.
ROBIN THORSEN: Right?
FELICIA DAY: So this is seved--
sieved--
ROBIN THORSEN: Sieved.
Seved?
That's fun.
FELICIA DAY: I don't know.
OK, and then we put our 300 grams of sugar.
ROBIN THORSEN: I don't think you were supposed to do that.
We were supposed to beat the--
FELICIA DAY: Oh no.
ROBIN THORSEN: --beat the egg whites.
FELICIA DAY: What are we going to do?
It will not work.
ROBIN THORSEN: I'm not sure.
I mean, let's try.
Medium.
FELICIA DAY: We never made this before, how is that fine?
ROBIN THORSEN: I just have a feeling.
FELICIA DAY: OK, so should we put this in?
All of it?
ROBIN THORSEN: Hold on.
Hold on a minute.
How do you know that's a tablespoon?
FELICIA DAY: I'm feeling it.
ROBIN THORSEN: Oh see, perfect.
FELICIA DAY: I think it needs more--
ROBIN THORSEN: Sure.
All right.
FELICIA DAY: I want it to be stiff.
ROBIN THORSEN: What kind of cooking show is this?
FELICIA DAY: [LAUGHS].
Oh!
OK, OK.
Oh, fun part!
So these are our colors.
So we want to dye these purple for the Lakers.
ROBIN THORSEN: Right.
FELICIA DAY: And then we're going to have a lemon curd
center, which is yellow.
Ooh.
It looks like blood.
ROBIN THORSEN: This is-- pssh.
FELICIA DAY: Oh, it's black.
Do you want to fold?
ROBIN THORSEN: Sure, I'll fold.
FELICIA DAY: I don't know how to fold.
I don't--
ROBIN THORSEN: Let me fold.
See?
It's purple.
FELICIA DAY: Oh, it's purple.
But we need more.
ROBIN THORSEN: I'm not sure about that.
FELICIA DAY: At this point, we're going to
put this in a pipe.
ROBIN THORSEN: Right.
FELICIA DAY: And we're going to squeeze them.
ROBIN THORSEN: Then FYI, if you don't have one of these,
you can just get a plastic Ziploc bag and cut--
FELICIA DAY: Are you kidding?
ROBIN THORSEN: Yeah, I'm sure you can do that.
Right?
FELICIA DAY: I don't know, you're cool.
ROBIN THORSEN: These look like little--
FELICIA DAY: Poopies?
ROBIN THORSEN: --poops.
FELICIA DAY: In an ideal situation, they're going to be
smooth on top.
That's never going to happen for us.
So--
Oh.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry!
ROBIN THORSEN: You know you're not even trying.
FELICIA DAY: I am, too!
They need to rest for 20 minutes.
So our second recipe for our sports tea time party dying.
Tequila sunrise chocolate holiday bark, which is the
recipe, but since you can dye the bark any color, because
it's made out of white chocolate, I thought that was
a fairly fun one.
But I got it off this really cool blog called "Scarletta
Bakes."
So basically, you take tequila, and you cover all the
fruit in tequila [INAUDIBLE].
ROBIN THORSEN: This is my kind of recipe.
FELICIA DAY: I know.
ROBIN THORSEN: Very excited about this.
FELICIA DAY: High five.
ROBIN THORSEN: Yeah.
You could save the tequila, and now you have
fruit-infused tequila.
And that's a whole 'nother party.
FELICIA DAY: I did not read that part.
ROBIN THORSEN: Oh, I read it.
I read it a couple of times.
Smell that tequila.
FELICIA DAY: You're going to lick you hand, aren't you?
ROBIN THORSEN: I might.
FELICIA DAY: OK, so then we're going to just, hey.
ROBIN THORSEN: Yeah.
FELICIA DAY: What we need to do is just melt the chocolate.
And so we'll be right back.
We're going to melt this.
ROBIN THORSEN: It has booze in it, so everyone's
going to like it.
FELICIA DAY: Yeah.
And so basically, you just let it sit.
That is our second recipe.
So the third thing is something you can just find
anywhere on the internet.
It's called stained glass jello, basically.
And if you just search that, you'll find millions of
references to that recipe.
And what we're going to do is we're going to get two cups of
boiling water and two cups of cold water and make the two
jellos in advance.
OK.
How was--
ROBIN THORSEN: Oh boy.
No, that's clearly in there.
FELICIA DAY: [LAUGHS].
There's a hair in the jello.
ROBIN THORSEN: Oh, don't-- can we not point
it out to the world.
FELICIA DAY: OK, there, there.
I got it out.
Oh my gosh, this is really fun.
[VROOM].
ROBIN THORSEN: OK.
FELICIA DAY: [VROOM].
ROBIN THORSEN: Whoa.
FELICIA DAY: [VROOM].
ROBIN THORSEN: Sound effects by Felicia Day.
That's fun.
FELICIA DAY: Bleh.
Come on, Robin.
Get in there.
ROBIN THORSEN: This extra jello is disgusting.
FELICIA DAY: And then you want to pour the cold sweet and
condensed milk thing over.
ROBIN THORSEN: Over it.
But look how rad that looks already.
FELICIA DAY: Yeah, that looks pretty cool, guys.
I mean, that was the simplest recipe and it looks the best.
I don't know why we made other things.
ROBIN THORSEN: Right.
FELICIA DAY: All right.
We are finished with our three-
ROBIN THORSEN: Ta-da!
FELICIA DAY: Yay.
Oh, do it again.
ROBIN THORSEN: Ta-da!
FELICIA DAY: Oh, you're so cute.
OK.
So we've got our jello, our macaroons, and our bark.
We're going to try it.
Because we didn't try it.
ROBIN THORSEN: Because that's what we do.
OK.
Mmm.
Have you never eaten jello before?
FELICIA DAY: Yes, I've eaten jello before.
OK.
ROBIN THORSEN: This is the flavor.
FELICIA DAY: Mmm.
That's good.
ROBIN THORSEN: Mm-hmm.
FELICIA DAY: If you like white chocolate, that's what it is.
All right.
ROBIN THORSEN: Yeah, we'll just break it.
FELICIA DAY: Go halfsies?
ROBIN THORSEN: OK.
FELICIA DAY: All right.
ROBIN THORSEN: That's a good macaroon.
FELICIA DAY: Yeah, the lemon curd is good.
They're not as picturesque as we'd like them.
ROBIN THORSEN: No.
FELICIA DAY: That's that.
We're going to order pizza.
Bye.
ROBIN THORSEN: And watch the game.
FELICIA DAY: Oh.
ROBIN THORSEN: I don't know.
FELICIA DAY: Hey, we're going to go watch the game.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
FELICIA DAY: And lastly, the question of note this week
comes from Autumn, who asks, "If your mind were a pie
chart, what would the divisions be and how would
they be apportioned?" Fancy.
Dear Autumn, my mind actually is divided into a pie chart.
The divisions are as follows.
Being productive, 25%.
Coffee and cupcakes, 24.99%.
My MMO and video game characters, 18%.
Ideas for a new web series, 12%.
Computing the Goldbach conjecture, 9%.
Not really.
Computing new tweets, 9%.
Remembering to eat vegetables from time to time, 8%.
Asking people to subscribe to Geekandsundry, 3.01%.
Logically, Felicia Day.
OK, Autumn.
Your letter is on its way.
Thank you guys for watching "The Flog." Next week, we're
going to blow your mind out.
We have a special music video with me and Tom Lenk, so do
not miss it.
All right, thanks for subscribing.
I will see you guys next week.
And vote.
