Stream. Do you hate yourself and your family but hate haircuts even more? Introducing the Floby precision haircutting system. You lie! Piece of shit! Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's Monday, February 28, 2022. I'm Scott. He's Brian. Hi, Brian. Hello, Scott. Happy Monday to you. What a great week. This is going to be. I'm kind of going into Randy Turn, Tori. Hey, how you doing? I'm fine. Good to hear it. Yeah, it's like he ate shots of espresso before he gets on mic. That's right. Brian's going to California. Going to Anaheim this week.

I'm going to California with a, what's the song? Going to California with a on my mind. What's the word I'm missing there? California with something on my mind. I don't know. I just know take California. A lot of this woman with flowers in her hair. I don't know what that is. No idea.

Aking in my heart. That's it. It's an aching in my heart. Going to California with an aching in my heart. Nothing on my mind. But you're not actually doing that. You're going with no feeling. I have no aching and no heart.

It's going to have fun. You know, it's weird. I didn't even realize this. But my head had had been one week different. You'd be there when Nick is there. He's there with his girlfriend's family right now. Oh, really? Right now.

Yeah. This week, like this second, he's there. He's in Disneyland today. Well, when is he? Oh, he's in Disneyland today. Well, when does he come back? Well, they're only going to be there until. Oh, actually, good point.

Yeah, because I am there this week, Scott. You're like, maybe there's some crossover. You might be right about some crossover here. I'm trying to see when he comes home, though. I think it might be Wednesday. You know what? You're going to be there. You'll be there. For a full day, you'll be there. Well, the Venn diagram will overlap for one full day, although it'll be, well, technically won't be, right? Because if he's coming back, we get there tomorrow afternoon.

Oh, and he might be. They may be summing it up by then or whatever. Probably summing it up. Yeah, we're not going to, we're not going to Disney until Wednesday. Gotcha. Well, if by chance it happens, then the world will truly be our oyster. Hey, it's good to have you here. Let's get to. to, we got to, remember that thing about frozen iguanas we talked about a little bit? Oh yeah, they were freezing and falling from trees in, uh, Miami? Yeah, it was Florida and they were trying, they were warning residents like, be careful, unseasonably cold weather means falling agonnas.

Don't pick them. Don't throw them. They're often not dead. They're just hibernate, you know, they're in like cryotenex sleep. Yeah. So Johnny C wrote in about that story and says, iguanas, we have a story. Hi, TMS. When I was a child, we had a pet iguana. he had an outside enclosure on our back porch one day he escaped did he escape or did you guys leave it open is my question like you finally jimmied the lock with a yeah he didn't he didn't get

a little spoon from red like years ago and he's been digging a hole the whole time behind a poster like we know there's more to it than that anyway one day escape we looked over or we looked all over for him for a few days a couple of months later it was beginning to get cold and it had been raiding overnight the next morning we found a cold stiff, but still alive, iguana in our front yard. My dad said he got too cold overnight and was probably living up in a tree and fell out when I got too cold. I never believed the story until this round of news, and now it seems plausible.

Cheers, Johnny C. Yeah, he probably climbed the tree. That's why he couldn't find him, and then he froze up there. I feel like in some small way, we brought Johnny C. Some closure, you know, all these years later. Yeah, I think so, too. I know. Finally, Johnny C.

And, but your cat really did die and didn't go to live up in a farm upstate. No. Yeah, that one, that story they told you. My mom still sticks to that story. Like, we had two cats, Napoleon and Shasta. Napoleon probably should have been called Josephine, because when she got pregnant, it seemed like a big surprise. Oh, yeah. It's hard to see their junk under all that fur.

It's usually, you just never know. Kind of is. And, you know, one day they were gone, and my mom and stepdad said, no, we sent them to live. in a farm out east on the eastern plains where they would have lots of you know room to play and mice to chase and all that stuff and uh i still this day don't believe them and i'm like all right as an adult maybe she'll come clean with me right she'll say oh no okay yeah we had to get rid of them or something uh she still stands by the we sent them to a farm to to go live uh the rest of their days and chase mice and is there still i mean isn't there a way that you

could like go, you could find out if that farm exists, right? I mean, the cat's not going to be there, but you could find out if this place ever existed. I could probably, yeah, you can say, all right, don't leave the farm. But what am I going to do? Like, show up there and say, got any pictures of the cats you guys took in about, uh, 42 years ago? At the very least, you could say, did you guys have a habit of taking cats in if somebody didn't want them? Because that would have to be the deal, right? You don't just randomly find a farmer and go, you want a cat? It doesn't work that way. Exactly. Yeah. I think you got, I think he's, If you wanted to do the detecting, I bet you could find out.

I probably could. It would take a lot more work than I think I want to put into it. I'd much rather have her just tell me the truth. Yeah, just have her go, oh, okay, fine. We killed the cat and ate it, okay? Exactly, yes. Are you happy now? You ate the cat and you didn't even know it.

Just come clean. It's got to be eating you up inside. Tell me. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, we did this one. I shouldn't say we did this once. We had a cat once that the kids loved and Kim and I hated.

If I told this story, the one that jumped out of the car? No. Not talking about that? I think I might have mentioned it. Yes, you did. Oh, and I hate this story. Yeah. We took it to give somebody.

Yes. And we weren't, the kids didn't know when we were doing it. Carter's in the chat, so she may be hearing this for the first time. We took the, I don't remember the name of the cat. The cat was at the devil. But we, we, on the way there, and Carter, you'll know where this is out in Lehigh on that one big, long road that before the highway over there, it's all we had to go up. and down in. Anyway, um,

he jumped out the window and the window was open and took up and just slammed into a bush and disappeared and that was the last we saw him. And I don't know what we told her or them, mostly her because she's the one that cares. Yeah, we took him to it and there was a nice old lady who took, uh, took the cat and, uh, I was going to take care

of it and all that stuff. We may have made all. We may have said all of those things. And it left scratches on me with the jump because it leaped off of me and like gouged my arm on the way out and it was a nightmare that cat. I hated it. Hated that cat. It was a horrible animal, horrible creature. We weren't going to go kill it, though, or just throw it away somewhere.

We had in mind where we were going to take it, but he decided he had his own ideas. And who knows where he rose today? Wow. Anyway. Yeah. Hey, you know, this last weekend had a relatively mild weekend, you know, in a month full of really busy weekends. I mean, come on, seeing the Wiener Mobile and going to, you know, this and that and running here and flying there and all that stuff. but mellower weekend this last weekend, except for one thing, we went out to dinner

with the sales manager of the Plaza Hotel Las Vegas. Oh, my. Oh, that's right. That's right. You mentioned this yesterday. The place where we're all going to be staying in a month and a half at the end of April. Yeah, yeah. She never brought up the shirts.

Oh, okay. Phew. I've been on pins and needles about this. Yeah, I was nervous, but I'm glad. I'm glad we're not still on the hook for the shirts. That's good. It was, uh, it was great. So they, they love our group. Like, they, we're one of their favorite groups that comes in because we are, we're not, um, dicks. Destructive or obnoxious or demanding. Like, we don't, we don't say, hi, I'm part of the Salesforce group and, um, you guys haven't, uh, replaced the soaps in my, in my bathroom.

Yeah, even the time in 2018 where we got, or was it, was it, was it that event where we were, we got kind of locked out of our rooms on one of the towers for a while because the elevators were busted or something. Even then we didn't complain. We just sat out there and just chilled. No, we're, you know, like we're, we're, we're fun, we're, um, a welcoming group. We're, you know, we're, when there was a delay in the board game ballroom a couple of years ago, no one like, well, except for me, probably.

That was probably the worst one. Uh, you ran down to the front desk and demanded, uh, entry and stuff like that. I didn't even do that. I said, hey, uh, somebody coming up. because we're all waiting outside the ballroom to get in, play some settlers of Catan. If you can let us in, this one-night werewolf isn't going to play itself. Yeah, not kidding. The King of Tokyo is calling.

That's right. Now, that's cool. Did she say anything like, And so we've decided to give you the whole place for free. She did not say that. That's unfortunate. She, uh, no, she just, you know, was, was, we talked about the history of downtown. She's been there for a long time, working in various hotels.

And her husband is also a city council person, but he's a city council person for Las Vegas, as opposed to James, who's a city councilman for Boulder City. It was amusing to have, you know, this weird city councilman connection. City councilman connection. Wow. But, yeah. Yeah, it was a really, really good time. It was Mexican food, downtown hung out there after a full day of playing Pokemon Go for Joto Day, like the Joto tour. Oh, yeah, we had a bunch of people.

Oh, no, even Stephen was going to ask, but he's not here today. But everybody wanted to know if Brian was all up in the Pokemon Day. I guess she did take part. Yeah. Yeah. It's separate from, I think there's a whole other kind of Pokemon Day, not whole other. Like, it's part of this. But Joto was the big event, Pokemon Go.

and it was like a 10-hour catch as much as you can and shinies were increased. I was playing a little bit while we were doing play date with Brian and Kit, and I still managed to beat you guys. Yeah, I don't know how you did that. You were catching Pokemon and still won. That was really annoying, but sure. No problem.

No, it was a really good time. It was a good day. A lot of people are kind of, well, a little disappointed with the event. I'm a little bit disappointed with the shiny rates. I didn't get a single shiny Pokemon until 2.30, and the event began at 9. And they were supposed to be increased, increased chances for shiny. What was the percentage increased, you know? No idea.

Like one one one hundredth of a percent increase in shinies or something. But I think even even playing regularly, like it probably, if I played nonstop the way I did in morning or early afternoon, I would have cut at least one shiny by then normal rates. Gotcha. Do you like those new Pokemon they introduced? It's kind of cute and a little... Yeah, for the new game, the new Switch game coming out this year. That little Gator

one, I want one. I want one of those. Those are cute. Those are cute. It's crazy to see a brand new not just a re-skinned or a new Switch version, but a brand new Pokemon-style Pokemon game coming out.

Not Arceas, different from Pokemon Arceas, but I have decided that since I, I am taking my switch, and I can't play Astraneer on a plane without a lot of work to make it comfortable. Sure. Sure. That makes sense. The screen, I need a bigger screen to play Asternear than the little switch screen.

Even the OLED screen probably wouldn't be enough because when it's like, oh, okay, so you want to make some tungsten carbide, you need these materials. And it's in the tiniest type that I can barely see on the regular TV screen and trying to see it on a. a little tiny, so I'm going to buy a Pokemon Arceus and play it on the plane right out to California this week. I'm going to try it out. Well, let me know what you think. I think that game, from what I've heard, that game is very cool

and would be a Pokemon game I would enjoy given its open-worldness and sort of fresh take on combat and stuff like that. But the other one's what? Crimson, it's called, I think. Yeah, there's two of them, right? It's crimson. Crimson and something else. What's our other color? Maroon. Maroon. Really?

No. Corteroy. No? Crimson and Clover. Those are the new Pokemon games and you catch them like this. Scarlet and Violet, that's it. Violet, really? Okay.

Yeah, you're turning violet, Violet. I hate games that make you want to buy two copies of it. And I'm not saying you have to. I'm just saying they'd like you to. They'd be thrilled if you got both. Kind of annoys me. Yeah, give us a discount. Like, if you're going to do that, then say, all right, well, you've bought the digital version of

of Scarlet, we'll give you a violet for one-third the price, just the out-on, the Violet DLC. Yeah, the Violet DLC, but this is Nintendo. They don't do things like that. No, it could be. That's crazy. Well, Johnny C, thanks for the email and your iguana thing. I don't know how we, oh, no, we, we did move on to the whole dinner thing last night. We did, we moved on to you.

I've been talking about the plaza this whole time, Scott. We are pretty close to being able to announce a couple more of the events and things going on, but probably at the end of this week we'll be able to. But they're telling me that we are killing it as far as rooms. Every time they increase the number of rooms, you tadpoolers snatch them up and, you know, and sell them out. So I'm getting an updated punch list, basically a count of how many people we're expecting and that sort of thing. The best news is, COVID numbers are low right now.

now. They are. They're going, it's like great everywhere. Yeah, yeah. We're getting drops. I mean, I wish it was, I wish it was perfect. We still had 400 cases here in the States, but that's a lot, or in my state, but that's a lot lowered in 14,000 like a month ago or whatever it was. It's, it's, this current drop is, uh, almost, um, almost unbelievable. I'm not going to say like there's a conspiracy, but it's, it's an unbelievable drop in a, in a, um, in two years of slow declines and rapid inclines. It's almost like somebody accidentally got the graph wrong.

A lot of people actually, I probably think that. But the truth of it is, I think Omicron had a fast fall off once it took its toll, you know? All right, what's the COVID's sitting there going, all right, how can I just get this over with and infect everybody all at the same time and then have some people now immune to it? because they've got the antibodies from it. I wish we could communicate it. I wish we could call it on the phone and go, COVID, we have an idea. There's this guy. He's a warm body.

His name is Vladimir Putin. All you have to do, just all of you gang up at once, there's no way he blocks you. And don't infect anyone else. I like, you know, the Russian people are fine. Leave them alone. But just him, you know. And if you could hit a Ted Cruz on the way, that would be, you know, we'd be totally fine. Oh, yeah.

All the way to Putin hit a Ted Cruz. Yeah, smack a Ted Cruz on your way. You'll be fine. And we're going to, some listeners, going to be mad because he loves Ted Cruz, but what are you going to do? Fine. Oh, no. Don't stop listening, Ted Cruz fan. What will we do? All right, moving on. Hey, we're going to play Babel Royale, a freaking Freaky Monday edition or whatever it's called. Yeah. Normally, Dunaway's here. Dunaway has a funeral today, so he will not be with us. However, he's not the one. He's fine. He's okay. Just not I don't want to freak anybody out. He's attending a funeral.

And as a result We're bringing our pal Bobby in In his place So hold on to your butts Because here it comes I lost my place There it is right here Here you go

Hey look what it is And how it is It's Mr. Bobby Frankenberger Or as he says in the thing Booby Frankenbigger Joining us in place of Brian Dunaway today To play a little bit of the Babbel Royale Hello what's going on

Oh hi Is that what I'm supposed to say Oh hi That's exactly you're supposed to say. Then we're supposed to say, Happy birthday, Bobby. That's right. It's your birthday.

How you feel, man? One year older, one year wiser or whatever the deal is. I'm doing great. I'm feeling good. I'm sitting here hoping as I refresh my email that on my birthday I'll get the email from Steam that I can buy a Steam deck. Yeah, same. Same. I'm supposed to, I was supposed to be in the round they're doing now and I haven't gotten anything.

Yeah, I'm in the quarter one. round as well. So any day now. Yeah. Any day now. I kind of thought they would have, that everybody in the first round would just have their emails like all at once. But I guess they're still, I don't know what they're doing. Trickling them out. Yeah. It's unfortunate. But excited about that device. Anyway, it's good to have you here. And welcome to the show. Hey, Brian, why don't you explain what this is and how Bobby's involved? All right. All right. So welcome to the morning, half asses, a trivia game. where I'm actually going to be giving you two the answers.

I'm going to be giving Scott and Bobby a category and six possible answers. Three of those answers are correct, and three of them are blatant lies. Depending on how confident you feel with the category, you can provide one, two, or three guesses. But if you get any of those guesses wrong, you get zero points for that round. If you guess one, get it right, you get a point. If you guess two and get them both right, you get a bonus point. So you get three points.

And if you get all three correct answers, all three correct answers, you get them right, you'll get two bonus points and get five points total. The player with the most points, after three rounds, wins the prize for their contestant, and I'm pulling contestants from members of the Tadpool that aren't able to listen live. Scott? Nothing, sorry, nothing, you're good, you're all good. Something just made me laugh. Yeah, it caught me as, it was very mathy, and I just, my brain went for.

I wish there was an easier way to describe the points. scheme and just say, all right, you get a point for every right answer and a bonus point if you get two, two bonus points if you get three. And in actual play, in actual play, it all makes sense, right? We don't have any problem with it while we're doing it, but in the description it's like those instruction manuals and by the time you read that part, you go, you know what, we'll just play one and see how we do. That's kind of where we're at with it.

I always picture Claire in that animated gift that I think is Julia Roberts with all of the math numbers like appearing in front of her face looking all confused. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's not Julia Roberts. It's not Julia Roberts. Okay. No.

It's a, because it's a bad-looking Julia Roberts clone. All right. Let's get to this. Scott, you're going to be playing for Jason Jackson in Surrey, UK. Wow. I don't know who that is, but now I wish I was playing for James. I know. Apparently, that's who you want to be playing.

I don't know him either, but I'm just thrilled. I'm thrilled. Bobby, you're going to be playing for Scott Kosteris in Ames, Iowa. And I'm pulling out of that last name. Hell yeah! Boo! But there you go. All right.

No booze. We think they're all great, and I hope they all. We do. We think they're all right. I tried to back away from the microphone. I hope that. You did a very good job. It wasn't loud at all.

It totally wasn't loud. Somebody find that gif. I mean, I know it's not Julia Roberts, but it looks like a person made to look like Julia Roberts. All right. I don't even know which. I still can't picture it, so someone get that. Oh, really?

Oh, then somebody definitely needs to find that, uh, find that gift. I thought it was the closer, the closer lady. The carousedgwick? Oh, Kara Sedgwick, maybe. Does she look like, uh, she looked like her a little maybe? There it is right there. Pops and recline. Oh.

I don't know who that is. Is that who that is? I know. I don't think that's Kara Sedgwick. I don't know who that is. Somebody says they think it looks like Katie Sackoff. Jedi 71 thought it was Julia Robert. as well. I don't know who it is.

No idea. I mean, definitely not Julie Roberts, but... She could just be some rando, but is she in a TV thing? I don't know. Oh, Renata Sora. Who is that? It's got to be a made-up thing. That's not real, is it? Renata Sora.

Hold on, looking it up. Oh, it is her. Wait. Yeah, apologies to Renata Sora. That is a real person. He's a Brazilian actress. How much is a Brazilian? Yeah. uh from the scene from the telenovela seora do destino oh my lord so none of us were right all of us were wrong and the uh the original telenovela did not have uh math uh math being

solved in front of her face yeah that was a mean part someone added the memeish to it someone added the meme part to it yeah all right all right anyway uh you guys ready you guys ready Should we do this? I forgot what we were doing here. Should we do this morning half-asses game? Yeah, let's do it. Let's play it. All right.

Category number one. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I forgot. There you go. I forgot I have to show this for the table. Oh, yeah, show to the table. Hold on chat room. Sorry, my bad. One second.

Okay. I forgot he made this really convenient second screen, and then I didn't show it. Right. Showing it. Okay, now we're good. Okay, Brian, go ahead. Okay. people who've been knighted by the queen.

So I'm going to give you a list of six people who've been knighted by the queen. Three of them are true. Three of them are false. All right. Your choices are Bill Gates, Angelina Jolie, Edward Snowden, Bob Hope, George Lucas, and Michael Jackson. Three of these? Three of those people have been knighted by the queen. I would have said no on all these.

Oh my gosh. That's what makes this a good selection of names, right? Is that I don't believe any of them. Yeah, I really don't believe any of these. I really don't. I'm at a loss here, but I'm going to do my best. So the question is, do I try to risk it or do I play it safe for a... That's the game, man.

You figured out that that is the... Yeah, that's literally the game. It's so exciting. Yeah, that's the game. In the commercial, they would say, do I play it safe or do I? That's what they'd say. in the ad and then they'd say don't touch his funny bone may i play and then all the chips fall down and then we say pretty sneaky sis and thank you mr bunny bach bach bach come over for a party yep

and then some gloob thing about gloob at the end that's right all right both players have locked in we're all over the board here i love it um so uh bobby you have picked uh bob hope and michael jackson yeah uh scott you have also picked bob hope but also george Lucas. Let's see how you guys did. Both incorrect. George Lucas, Michael Jackson have not been knighted by the queen. Bob Hope has

as well as Bill Gates and Lady Angelina Jolie. Really? Why, though? Why do you knight Bill Gates? That's weird. And of course Edward Snowden. Come on now. Yeah, I was thinking entertainers because I feel like that's what I hear all the time is that

various people that I know about have been knighted are all like entertainers. You know, you've got like like now I can't think of any entertainers so well I always think of British ones like oh yeah Sir Patrick Stewart or John Cleese is probably knighted and right yeah Elton John people like that but then if you talk about Americans I would have said if you put a gun to my end said are any of these I'd say no it's like none of these people should have knights I dub thee sir Adam of the ants

Is he not knighted? No, I don't think he's knighted. Oh, man. I don't think so anyway. All right, let's get to question number two. Isn't this how to happen last time you just ended up with zero points all the way to the end? No, somebody's always won at least with a single point. So I think we've gotten to the third question, though.

The first time we got to the third question before anybody got any points. Yeah. All right. Question number two, English words. of Arabic origins. So these are words you're familiar with in English, but they come to us from the Arabic language.

Your choices are algebra, altitude, allergy, albatross, alphabet, and alcohol. Three are correct, yes? Three are correct, three are incorrect. Three of these come from the Arabic language.

Three of them are just flat out lies. Do you come up these responses yourself? I do not. Well, I was wondering because I was going to be, I was going to say, you were going to be impressed by the fact that I did. Because they all start with Al. Yeah.

I have a Jeopardy player that I defeated, well, I didn't defeat him. I was beating him for a while in Jeopardy, a guy named Ken Jennings as one of the creators of this game and I've stolen questions. Ken Jennings of Jeopardy. Jeopardy fame, yes, of non-drinking Jeopardy fame. I was beating for a little bit. Yeah, also of Utah Connection fame. Utah Connection.

I grew up in Logan and used to play board games with my sister, Wendy. She can confirm that, by the way. I always tell that story and people like, you didn't play board game. I said, no, I didn't, but my sister Wendy did. Anyway. That is so awesome. And did he, was he really good at him? He was it non-trivia-based?

No, he was very good. It's like playing with you in a trivia game. It was very, he was kick, he'd kick ass at all the kinds of games. Like, he's gamified to his core, everything about it. I think his brain's just built different. But, yeah, he's a nice guy, though. Super nice. Cool.

Yeah, cool. Oh, you see, yeah, I would agree with that. He is a very nice guy. Yeah. All right, Bobby, you've locked in with algebra. Playing it safe with one answer. Let's see if that one's right. Scott, you've locked in with two, algebra and alphabet.

Let's see what the correct answer are. I'm going to be so mad if alphabet was right, because I was going to pick that as a second one. Hovering over that one? Yeah. Damn it! No, alphabet is gross. Algebra, albatross, and alcohol all come from Arabic origin. Shoot.

Altitude, allergy, and alphabet do not. I knew algebra was because there's a lot of math stuff that comes out of the Mideast, but the alphabet. Well, I think algebra was, I think, invented by an Arabic mathematician. Yeah, like a lot of different math focuses. Joe Algebra, I think, was his name. Yeah, Joe Algebra. Yeah. Muhammad Algebra. It was his full name. Algebra Al-A-Bean.

Yeah, Algebra Al-A-Been. Yeah. I love when Kim makes that on Friday nights. Mmm, so good. Steamy hot in the winter. Carter is hazing you in the chat room, Scott. Yeah, Alpha. Greek. Oh, yeah, duh. Alfa. Duh. I'm so glad I didn't pick it. Okay. I'll quit making fun of her high school. It was not as bad as I said.

All right, let's see how you guys do with geography. I'm going to name six structures. I don't know much about geography. Oh, no. What a wonderful world this would be. I'm going to name six structures. You're going to tell me if they are the tallest structures in their cities apart from radio towers. So the tallest structures in their cities, not counting radio towers.

The Gateway Arch of St. Louis, the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., the Four Seasons Hotel in Miami, the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco, the Empire State Building in New York, and the Prudential Tower in Boston. Three of those show the chat room, the answer board, Scott. Yeah, I will.

Okay. I wasn't even aware. Before Claire has a connoissement. Claire, are you all right? Are you going to be okay? All right, let's see. I think I know these. Gateway Arch, Washington Monument,

Four Seasons Hotel, Transamerica Pyramid, Empire State Building Prudential Tower. I wasn't even aware that some of these were buildings. Oh, really? The Four Seasons Hotel? Exactly. Yes. Who's heard of that? Yeah, who's heard of a hotel? There's a pyramid in San Francisco?

Who knew? I didn't know that. I've been there a bunch of times. You've totally seen it. I must have, because I've been there many times and thought I'd seen everything, but apparently not that. I'm taking forever on these, aren't I? You're fine. No, look, you're a point ahead.

I think maybe whatever you're doing is what I should be doing. I'm going for gold this time. Yeah, you guys have both locked in and both locked in with three answers each. Oh, boy. Let's see how well you guys do. The Gateway Arch, the Washington Monument. You guys both said both of those. Scott, you said the Empire State Building.

I'm sorry, Bobby, you said the Empire State Building. And Scott, you said the Prudential Tower in Boston. And let's see how you guys did. Yep, Empire State Building is shorter than the One World Trade Center replacement that they put up. And Prudential Tower in Boston is shorter than the John Hancock Tower. But you guys did get Gateway Arch in Washington Monument. Four scenes hotel in Miami. Like any of us know what that freaking looks like.

No, but I bet you it's shorter than most really high things because they don't go super high in Miami. I was thinking. I was like, how am I supposed to know what a tall building is in Miami? It probably got blown over. That's the whole, yeah, that's the whole point. So even their tallest is like some other cities shortest. But I made sense on the gateway thing because they never show anything but that when you get pictures of that place. Right, it just looks like flat land with this huge arch. Yeah.

And I knew Washington Monument for sure. I've been to D.C. a couple of times and I knew that as a fact. But I didn't think about the, because I thought I was being clever. I was like, oh, it's the Empire State Building. wasn't the tallest before 9-11. But then I didn't realize that the replacement was taller.

Yeah, one world center, one world trade center is taller. And then in San Francisco, so the Transamerica pyramid is that really tall building that has, it basically comes to a point, like a pyramid.

I mean, it's like a super elongated pyramid, but the Salesforce tower now is the tallest building in San Francisco. Oh, you know what? I see it now. Now I know what it is. In my head, I'm picturing, you know, a pyramid pyramid.

Right, exactly. I was thinking the pyramids at Giza. That's what I could, I could tell you were thinking more of a pyramid-y pyramid as opposed to a tall building, an elongated pyramid. I didn't realize that. So what's hilarious about that building to me is that the more you move up, every, so whoever rents whatever floor for their company, you have, you have like one to two less offices per floor. Like, the further you go. Right, exactly. Yeah.

Do you have anything on the bottom? It was super excited. Hey, I'm getting the penthouse suite at the Luxor. But they're like hunched over the whole time. I want to know. I would love to know what that top floor looks like. Oh, man. That must be something in there.

At Luxor or at Transamerica. Or either one. I'll take either or, man. I think there's something about the tip-top of a building. That's where I want to live. Sounds amazing. As tall as you are, I would think you would hate that. You'd think.

of those places because you would hit I you know when I've stayed in the Luxor in one of those pyramid rooms no matter what I can look at that thing and say oh yeah I can't get super close to that window but whatever reason I want to get close to the window and I always hit my head on the glass like trying to see out every time same here I do the same exactly because I want to see down that those windows are made for looking out and up not down yeah yeah yeah but the human body wants to look down and so it's it's diametrically opposed to how we live that's why pyramids don't exist anymore in any sort of practical way. That's right, because everyone hits their heads. Humanity is taller now than that we were at... That's right. Much taller than that was ancient times. Yep.

So, congratulations, Bobby, and congratulations to Scott, Coasteris, and Ames, Iowa. You're going to be getting Project Winter and Rebel Cops. Rebel cops. Rebel cops. But don't worry,

Jason Jackson, Jenna Jackson and Surrey, UK. Jason Jackson, you're getting a copy of Rustler. Oh, that's a good game. You know what? I think he may have won this thing. Nothing wrong with Project Winter. I don't know about Rebel Cops. Project Winter's okay, though. It's a survival kind of

competitive thing. But Rustler is like Grand Theft Auto if it was set in the middle ages. Yeah. Oh, really? Oh, that's cool. Super fun. Yeah, really, really fun game. It's like a... It's crazy how this always happens, right? where the better of the games

it goes to the loser for the runner-up. Yeah, yeah, basically. I mean, I don't... Smash in chariot or chariot windows or whatever those things are called. No, it's like horse and buggy.

It's a little like that. Although it's like... It's mostly horses. You're jacking horses. Well, that sounds wrong. Don't jacking a horse. That would be... Is this the story of Catherine the Great?

Or is it a... Grand The Father? But you, like, you set fire to... something and then a whole bunch of cop horses will chase you and by that I just mean they're you know their law enforcement type middle age guys and there's a lot of like thee and thou but they do it as if it's kind of gangster it's a trip that game's great I really enjoyed it so they should play it yeah anyway nice job guys you both get one of these here winner winner chicken dinner and we hope you play again with us sometime Bobby it was nice of you to step in thanks for hanging with us not a problem I'm going to go back to refreshing my email that's a great Great idea. Yeah, and he'll be back here on tomorrow for a science. Tomorrow. Yeah. So watch for that. We'll talk to Bobby then. And oh, we didn't tell the people at home who won. Send Brian an email coverville at gmail.com. No, because I'm emailing them because I have their stuff. Right, right, right, right. They submitted them and they, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, good point. Yeah. You are, you all did this offline already. I'm thinking of Wednesdays. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you all know what to do. You'll get your stuff and you'll be happy for it. Thank you for playing. all right hey brian let's do this good morning good morning everybody

in the news this morning good morning it's time to do a little bit of news brought to us by eight bit adventures hi folks I have a long running web comic art portfolio and gaming pop culture podcast both released weekly as well as some smaller podcast projects this is what I imagine his voice is

I also do some gaming art and D and D streams they're all up on eight bit advent eight sorry let's get this this website right 8 the number 8 dash bitadventures.com or you can follow on Twitch at twitch.tv.tv slash 8 the number 8 bit adventures. That's 8-bitadventures.com or Twitch 8bit adventures. There you go. Go check it out. A patron of the show there. A Tennessee man in the news. Let's talk about Tennessee. Why the hell not?

He's accused of doing something I did to my mom once. please please get to it quickly i will before uh our imagination gets the better yeah it may have already had happened uh tennessee man accused of hitting wife with loaf of bread during a dispute now i'll explain my mom's thing in a minute uh an east tennessee man accused of striking his wife with a loaf of bread during a domestic dispute according to that uh sheriff's office there matthew or thomas matthew grande or grand i'm not sure how it was No, definitely grande. Is it grande?

Because maybe you don't think that guy, you don't think of this guy maybe says grand. Well, in Tennessee, that's not saying. I just feel like Grant could be grandi. I'll meet you halfway. I'll meet you halfway. Grandy. Age 53 of Sweetwater was charged with DUI, reckless driving,

aggravated assault and two traffic violations, according to the sheriff's office. Deputies were called to a domestic dispute on the 5th of February, about 11 p.m. Deputy Dakota Reinhart. Cool name. game. Dakota Reinhardt.

Coming to Overwatch this fall. Dakota's the new Dakota Reinhardt skin. Drive the new Dodge Dakota Reinhardt. It works no matter what we do. No matter what we say, it works. It fits. He began following Grande. After he saw a man back down a long driveway in an SUV, run over the

gravel or run off the gravel and then cross the center line of the highway. The guy was driving bad. So anyway, here's what happened. They did all that. Then they got in this argument. He claimed, or sorry, he was claiming his wife was cheating on him. When the couple got home, according

to Erica Grande, her husband hit her in the face with a loaf of bread. As she was trying to leave, the woman said he hit her with a board as well, so they buried the lead. But yes, loaf of bread. Now, Yeah, loaf of bread. Now, if it's just a loaf of bread, fine.

And by fine, I mean, it's not the worst thing you're going to get hit with. If it's a frozen... Well, let's talk about that because getting hit with a loaf of wonder bread versus a baguette are two very different things. Yes, and they don't specify here, so there's no way for us to know. If this was just a bag of sliced bread... Is there something worse than a baguette to get hit with? Oh, any kind of hard bread. One of those big sourdough loaves, this is like teardrop-shaped sourdough loaves.

Yeah, that would hurt. That would hurt. You'd have to use both hands probably to get a good hit on, though. Oh, you totally would, yeah. Yeah, depends. You'd use a red sticks count? Yeah, I mean, it can count. Faccahsha's greasy, but it's still soft.

I think facacia should be okay. Yeah. Well, here's how you do it. When I was 17, my mom was mad at me because I was out too late with somebody. And I didn't come home when I said I would. And so I walked into the house, and she goes, Where have you been? This is the whole stereotype of that, right?

And I was so annoyed with my mom because I'm 17 and an idiot. Oh, and you think you know better. I can do what I want. Yeah, I look around for something just to get rid of my rage, and I see a loaf of bread on the counter without, and it's sealed up, and it's like a wonderbread loaf, you know, like sliced bread inside of a bag. I grabbed it without really paying any attention to it.

And barely noticed as I grabbed it and threw it, it was frozen, solid. Oh. She was thawing this bread out. Yeah. And I grabbed it and I threw it at her. Thankfully, I missed her by about six inches and it left a divot in the counter where she was standing. Oh, my God. Yeah.

And I felt really bad about it for a long time. I felt really bad about it. But I never hit her. She never actually hit my mom. But had it done, I would have felt terrible. I felt bad anyway. You would have left a dent in your mom. Yeah, yeah.

I would have left a divot in mom. A divot left a divot. She forgives. She forgives. She forgives me these years later. Go ahead. But I would never do it now. She's in her 80s. But at the time, yeah, I thought I was, I thought I was a real tough 17-year-old and, you know, stuff like that.

My dad was, my dad was pissed. Yeah. He was so mad. Oh, my gosh. He came home that day. And I thought I'd never seen him. So the only time I'd ever. seen him angrier as me and my sister misha got into a tussle and i wiped peanut butter on her

leg now you might go well big deal it's peanut butter yeah but yes do you have any fights growing up that just weren't food like food related i mean honestly it's a fair question my sister terran i got in a fight with butter once so these are all this is all true but when i wipe peanut butter on misha's leg the problem was misha was my dad's sky and moon. She was the one that could do no wrong. She was this little image of perfection, sweet thing. And she barely ever cried ever. So when she did, you knew it was bad. And she cried when I wiped that peanut butter on her leg. My dad, who never got physical with me at all growing up, never, never hit me, never, you know, did anything rough or anything

at all. This one time grabbed me and put his boot. And when I say this, I am not kidding. Up my butt. because he kicked the angle at which and force at which he kicked my butt. His boot, I think, penetrated my bum that day. I was like 13, 14. I don't know what I was. You were wearing pants. Oh, yeah, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

Took all that stuff up there with it? Oh, yeah. Yeah. The whole party came up there. And she, um, and that was the most he'd ever, that's the most he didn't mean, obviously, to put a foot up my butt. But he, he, he was. That's the most mad I ever saw him and the most physical I ever saw him get.

He never even spanked when we were little. It was just like I had really, really ruffled him wrong when I put butter on his pride and joy. I'm going to sodomize you with a dingo boot and a pair of Levi's. Oh, it was a bad moment. Anyway, so there you go. Let's move on to this story. I can't imagine what. What he would have done you if you really would have hit your mom with the bread?

If you would have put a divot in your mom. Right? Put a divot in my mom. Yeah. Wait a minute. That sounds wrong. All right. Hey, look at this.

We need to learn how to pronounce this. Pronounce Lviv. This is the Ukrainian town. Let's see how it's pronounced. I got a YouTube thing here. We are looking at how to pronounce the name of the city located in Ukraine as well as how to say more interesting but often confusing names of cities. including the capital city of Ukraine. This one is located around 70 kilometers from the border with Poland.

Louvre. Okay, Louvre. The view. If that guy is to believe, be believed. I know whether or not he's to be believed, but I've got a bonar right now. I've learned a little something about geography and gotten erect. It's good. Yeah, yeah.

Brian will never say, but he actually got it when he heard the boot story. That's what it really got it. Anyway, describe the boot to me, would you? Was it steel toad? Oh, man. Might have been. All right. Levy, how have you say it?

It's the main city there, the capital city of... No, Kiev is the capital city. Oh, was Kiev the capital city? I thought that guy just said capital city, didn't he? He didn't he? I thought maybe... No, I think he just said it was 70 kilometers, about... Under my navel.

So it's not. But anyway, you've been hearing a lot about it this week. They have, they're a brewery. There's a brewery there called Pravada. They make the beer, you know, the whatnot and the beer. Pravda. Pravda. Pravda.

Pravda. Pravda. Yeah, not Pravada. Pravda. I'm going to get all these names wrong. It's a place I rarely. Which is like the newspaper, the Russian newspaper. Oh, does there a Russian, what's it called just Pravda?

It's called Pravda. What does it stand for? Do you know what it means? It means, 90% of this is made up. I don't know what problem to be. I'm going to look it up. Pravda means truth.

It means truth. Slovak. Okay, well, there you go. Pravda. If it's the Slovakian word, Pravda, then it is, the translation to English is truth, but it says,

yeah, it says Slovak. I don't know. Anyway, whatever. Oh, in Russian, it means, basically the same. It just means truth. Which, in that case, Russia's lying. But anyway, whatever.

Their brewer had changed to making Molotov cocktails. They stopped making spirits and started making bombs, basically, to help defend their country against this thing. Interesting. They've gone from mocktails to cocktails. To full-on Molotov cocktails. Yeah. The brewery announced the plans after Ukraine's Defense Ministry instructed civilians to make Molotov cocktails and resisting the invading Russian forces.

is according to the Kiev independent reporting or the Kiev-Independent? Oh, that's the paper there. That's the thing. Yeah. So this is one of those things that we've been so familiar with the anglification of Kiev. Yeah, it's never been Kiev. Through chicken Kiev and K-I-E-V and all that. It's really pronounced Kiv, and it's the Ukrainian spelling and pronunciation and stuff.

Yeah, Kiv, it's actually good. All this is happening because you've got less people. saying Kiev and saying Kiev, you have less people. I don't mean it's good that an invasion's happening. That's not what I mean. But our attention to it, one side effect is we're all wearing those things. Come here, let me put on my boots, Scott. Yeah, get that boot ready.

But like, you know, people stop, hopefully stop calling it the Ukraine and just call it Ukraine. Correction. So correction, Kiev is the Russian pronunciation of Kiev. So that's where it came. It wasn't the Anglification. It was the. It was the. Russian

Russianification. So Kiev is Russian? So is there a whole other town called Kiev or is it just that Russia

calls Kiv Kiev? Russia calls Kiv Kiev. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. Okay. And Russians forced that on the

world. All right. Interesting. Interesting indeed. And that and horsed and yeah. And beef

strogan off. Beef stroking off. Yep. That's the one. Horse jacking. horse jacket. Hey, we did a little bit of the old discussing the cars on fire last week, remember the ship? Yeah, the Porsche Charera. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the one. Well, Porsche, Porsche, however you want to say it. Another disputed how to pronounce a name. That is one that I've never been sure of. Is it Porsche or Porsche? Well, if you ask Randy Jordan, he says Porsche, Porsche, if you, in fact, I have a great. I don't. I don't ask Randy.

You don't, but I have an amazing, I have an amazing clip of that. Hold on, I got a play. This is amazing. The pronunciation of the car, which comes to us from France. There's a little bit of Randy in that. You're not wrong. Oh, here it is. Okay.

Oh, no, I was doing the pronunciation video you play. No, I know, but I'm saying that guy sounded a little bit like Randy. So here's the, let's see if I can play it. I don't know if it'll actually play. By the way, does the Porsche have a stupid. horn like that? I'm just curious. That was a... That's an aftermarket. That's third party. It's third party.

Listen to you, Brian. It's one of those websites. I just can't, I can't not say it's Portia. Portia. Oh, I'm sorry, Porsche. There you go. Do you feel better now? That's great that we even have like a clip of Randy. Yeah. Yeah, I love it.

Anyway, Porsche. But is that, so it is Porsche? Is it? I don't know. I mean, Randy said it was. But I've never heard anything but Porsche my whole life. So I don't know what it is. I don't know why saying Porsche is really funny.

I will tell you, I will tell all of you right now that it's not pronounced Jaguar. Okay. Yeah, definitely not Jaguar. Or Jaguar. Yeah. It's Jaguar. Yeah, we had this discussion about New Orleans. It's New Orleans, not New Orleans.

Okay. Yes. We have our own, too. Carter says pooh-o-orch. Yeah, that's it. Poo-orch. Porch. Yeah.

Well, anyway, they say they'll replace your car if it was burned on that boat. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, that was nice. It wasn't all Porsche on there. They had some other branded cars there. Why is my... Hold on. My headphones are being weird.

Yeah, I got a little short going. That's not nice. There we go. What kind of proof do they need that my car was on the boat? Yeah, do they just need me to say it was on? on the boat. Oh, Dubious Rascal found from Porsche, Porsche, the company, there is a how to pronounce Porsche.

I'm going to guess that they don't need to resort to long YouTube preambles to get their YouTube money. We're about to find out. Let's see. Oh, this has 2,783,000 views. Gosh, dang. Wow. Yeah, that's a lot. There's either a lot of people who didn't know how to pronounce it or there are very few people with bad memory.

No kidding. All right, here we go. Check it out. It's taken for it. Portia. Pursha. Right to it. Love it. Why don't you all listen?

Listen to every other YouTube pronunciation guide. Take a tip from Pasha. Pursha. Yeah, it's like yesterday, there were two videos. I was looking for a video on how to beat a boss in a game called Axiom Verge, which I'm finally playing after five years, six years. and I was playing it and I got to a boss fight

that I could not freaking figure out so I went to YouTube and I said second boss fight Axi and Verge and I got two videos the top one I clicked and the guy goes Hey everybody at you boy

and we're doing it Bebba Bebibhbebebebe Don't forget to like and subscribe and then finally got to it You know what? I got out of there before he could play it Went to the one right now next to it Just a guy beating the boss

Like I's looking for See there is something to be said for that And you almost need to go back to that first guy and said, and put in his, uh, in his, uh, uh, comments and say, I started watching this, realized you weren't telling me the answer I wanted. So I went somewhere else and got the answer. And too bad you can't put a link to the, the, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If you want to make a, if you want to make overlong content for whatever it is you're doing, make a podcast or something. Yeah. Exactly. Don't be just, talk about like make an entomology podcast and talk about

the histories of words and where they come from and what the pronunciation is and the, the, the, the actual location of and all that Daniel J. Newman's right though. Old men with YouTube makes fun of younger people with YouTube's whatever. Yeah. Although the guy, the guy was so talky, he sounded like older.

So maybe it was a guy my own age. I'm just telling you there's a way to do it. And there are plenty of kids who get it. Most of them get in there and just do the thing that I'm looking for. So schmurps to you, Daniel J. Newman, if that is your real name. Shrumps to you. All right, moving on to this story.

Oh, and so they'll give you your car back, or you'll pay for it. You'll get a new car. Oh, new car. Yeah, that's kind of cool. And they're also going to have it by June this year, which seems fast, considering all the delays on cars. So I don't know how they work that out, but whatever. Porsche's been hoarding stuff.

Who knows? Or I'm sorry. Porsche. How do you do it? I don't remember. What was it? Porsche. Porsche.

Porsche. Okay. Bullshit. Bullshit. I go. definitely bullshit uh final story it's like yani and green needle uh discussion i some people are here in portion other people hear bullshit yeah either way you might be hearing bullshit um okay so this is hilarious to me because i think crypto is making people insane um i think there's

a legitimate market but there's plenty of people that are nuts there was a driver that was released that was promised to get faster Ethereum mining out of your NVIDIA GPUs. Okay, and that's how people mine. They put a bunch of a farm of NVIDIA GPUs that they, you know, bought and shouldn't have because the rest of the market's struggling to get those and use them to mine Bitcoin. There's this driver that whole bunch of people got stoked about because if you install this customer driver,

the idea was you were going to get like a way more Ethereum out of your... Faster. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, you know, making the... the weight less long to mine coins. Well,

guess what? It was full of viruses. Chalkful. Really? Yeah, real bad. The virus is not like somebody not fishing or not key logging or something. Like, yeah, a third of the Ethereum that they collect goes to me. Yeah.

Well, it could be some. Actually, that's a good point. Some of that may happen. I don't know. But the way this works is, basically, surprising no one. it says here the sketchy drivers with the too good to be true performance promise turned out to be full of viruses and extensive report shows the software package modified Windows power shell policies deletes and creates new files and system directories and causes abnormally high CPU

usage among other things and you basically you basically handed your computer over to to bots and right do badders yeah nice job and also don't ever do that don't i mean i understand but maybe do a reputable source for your things and maybe only put drivers on your Nvidia GPU that Nvidia makes like a trusted source or whatever I don't think this has anything to do with Nvidia getting hacked a couple of days ago or getting the attack they had I don't think I think that's a separate thing but but yeah don't don't do don't do that yes just genie do badders I love that do batters do batters I mean you know exactly there's do gooders there's got to be do badders yep if there's balance in the world then yeah

Can't have one without the other? Can't have one without the other. Anyway, those people are kind of screwed. You have to start kind of over. Like, zero your drives and start fresh or else you're a giant virus box. So enjoy. Hey, Brian, let's take a break. When we come back, we're going to do a bunch of emails.

Steven's out. He's a little sick today. Everybody wish him well. But you should all bombard him on Twitter. Major spoilers. Just tell him that you hope he feels better. Do that. Oh, yeah, yeah, do that.

Okay, yeah. Well, I don't mean be. I don't mean harass him. Geez. I mean, like, you know, wish him to make him feel better. Here's his home phone number. Yeah. In case he's not answering his text.

Here's his address. Go knock on his door. Here you go. Break time. Song time. Brian, what'd you bring? Yeah. You know, two words that go to bed.

Go to bed. Two words that go together better than Diary and Yeh are Connecticut and punk rock. That's three words, really. American Thrills is a band out there in Connecticut. And they have a brand new album that's going to be coming out soon on Wiretap, records. This is the first single. It's called Miss Fires. These guys are touring. So if you live in the New Haven, Connecticut, or Worcester, if you live in Worcester, you can see them on the 19th at the Hotel Vernon. Or if you live in Brooklyn, you can see them on the 20th. Here are the band.

Here is the band. American Thrills and the song Miss Fires. Yeah, like you're just some kind of ghost And it's been so long I only wait for you all I thought And I should have been so sure of this But it's been like 100 years Yeah, we met like strangers often too At first a spark in an ashen room

You burnt out like a murder But you know but you say Yeah, you burnt out like a mother, you were nobody the same. It's been so long, I only waited for you all that long, and I should have been so sure of this, but it's been like 100 years. You gave me a salvation when I needed it the most, but you poisoned yourself, a series of misfires diagnosed when you were young. You gave me salvation when I needed it the most, but you poisoned yourself, a series of misfires diagnosed when you were young.

I only wait for you all that long And I should have been so sure of this But here is a misfired He knows when you were young It's been so wrong I only waited for you all that long And I should have been so sure of this But it's been a mess fire

I'm trying to know When you are young Do you see how that's incredibly offensive? Yes, I do. That's why I said it. No tiki, no washi, right, right, right, right, rachoo. Welcome back to the show. Hey, Brian, what was that song one more time, please? That is the brand new single from American Thrills. It is called Miss Fires.

Very nice. Kind of a too much joy, hooters kind of feel to the music there, especially to the vocalist. Very too much joy or hooters. Speaking of hooters, do you have a hooters still? I do have hooters. Like near you, like a place you can go. Oh, oh, oh, I thought you meant the musical instrument. Because I do.

No, like the actual band. I do actually have a hooter near me, but... The actual booby lady place with the hot wings and stuff. I don't know. I know where there used to be one in Colorado, and it might still be there. It's like Kipling and 6th Avenue. There was a hooters, but... We went there once and only once.

I've only been once, and I made sure to invite my sister, who is very... The one that I put Pient Butter on, she's very, like, uncomfortable around situations like this. like scantily dress people i'm even i'm even uncomfortable in a hooters and it's not you know it's just like the the creepy factor of the hooters it's not even and the wings really aren't that good they're way better wing places oh 100 100% there are better wings out there for sure we in fact the food was bad that day it wasn't good but the the having my sister who was so freaking uncomfortable in there and then not really realizing it until we were there just how uncomfortable she was going to be that's my memory of hooters so well done hooters

That's all I think about my uncomfortable sister and your mediocre wings. Congratulations. Your mediocre, borderline mediocre wings. Yeah. No, I was thinking of the hooter the musical instrument because that's where the band, the hooters, former backup band for Cindy Lopper, got their name because they have a melodia, a melodian, melodian, melodica. What is it?

I don't know. Anyway, I've got one over here. Oh, that's nice. So it's called a hooter, though. It's called a hooter. Okay. I'll see my hooter? Yeah, show me your left hooter.

I actually do want to see this thing because I can't picture it. I'll bet I see it and no, but I can't tell by description. Once you see it, you won't be able to unsee my hooter scott. All right. Yeah. Big old nipple. Oh. Oh!

Yeah. Is it playing? I don't hear it. That's me playing. You're not here yet? No. Do it again. Nope, not at all.

Discord must cut it out. Wow. Yeah. Not a peep. Yeah, chat can't hear it. It's noise gate. Oh, there you go. Kind of.

I sort of pick it up. Weird. It's barely, like once in a while, a little piece will come out. Crazy. Wow. Twitch really is like, kind of messed that up. Or Discord, you mean, yeah. Or Discord.

Yeah, it's not Twitch. Yeah. Well, there you go then. I was playing a note-for-note perfect version. version of the intro to the song and we danced by the Hooters. Oh, I could tell. It was, I could tell even just looking.

The movements you were making. Like a wave on the ocean's romance. We were live and love and we danced. Did they play the hooter in the band, though? Yeah, that's the song begins with the sound of a hooter. I guess I always thought that was like a, I thought that was a harmonica or something, I guess. No, no, very similar because it is a, it is a, a blowing, through like a reed style instrument yeah it's a blow it's a blow hole you're blown through your

hole uh we're going to do something different without stephen because he's ill is the point and we're doing this send and receive email we're going to do an email list here some stuff i just wanted to catch up on from our listeners yeah uh we got this one from oh i didn't get the name poop why i didn't get the name i don't know it must not have been the email says scott and Brian, greetings programs. This is not Dan. Greetings programs. Are you sure that's not?

It's definitely not Dan. Is it Dan Patrice? No. I would love it if it was him. It'd be great if we could see him. But anyway, it says greetings programs. My wife and I arriving in Vegas early and the link from the Viva TMS, Vegas will not allow me to choose Sunday 424 as an arrival date.

Yeah. Is there a promo code that can be used along with booking the plaza? Just wondering before I call them. So why is that? What's the deal there? It's not the range. We don't get discounts on Sunday. So the only days they give us a discount is Monday,

Tuesday, Wednesday. Oh, gotcha. Gotcha. But, so, yeah, just call. And if I learned one thing from dinner with Bernadette from the Plaza on Saturday is that this is not a typical Vegas casino group. Like, I would be pushed through like 18 different people to get these codes and stuff like that. It would be, you know, be so much. paperwork and red tape. This is like a little

close-knit family, the people who run and work at the plaza. So yeah, just call them and say, hey, I'm coming in for TMS Vegas. Give them the code that's on the website, VivaTMSVegas.com. And they'll get you discounts for those other days. And guess what? Sunday's going to

be cheap, too, because it's a it's not a prime night. So you'll get discount. I might actually be switching my trip to be Sunday as well. I was going to be coming in Monday, but I might do Sunday because if we're doing a potential game show thing there, I need a couple days to prep. We'll see.

I mean, that's all questions. This may still happen, eh, the game show thing? It may still happen. It really depends on who else is coming out. Gotcha. Well, you could even, in the worst case, you could do a more simplified one in one of the spaces we're going to be in, right? I could easily do that. Yeah, I mean, and, you know me, I like to do things, I like to do things big, Scott.

I like him big. He's bigger, go home. That's what Brian does. Sometimes he'll go to a thing. It's not big and he'll just go home. Yeah, I will. It'll be, oh, this is not big. And those are my options.

My two options are go big or go home. Yeah, he goes to every movie, every movie he goes to see. He's going to see Tom Hanks in big, but when it's not big, he goes home. That's right. Just go home. Yeah, just go home. Is this big? Is this too early to watch big?

Yeah. and then it just leaves. That's how he works. So don't, so expect big. Yes. Red Fraggle, there will be somebody, Red Fraggle, not somebody. Amy in the chat room is asking,

do we have a schedule and itinerary for TMS Vegas? Yes, there will be one. I will tell you that there will be stuff going on. There's a, we're going to have a very casual reception as people are arriving on Monday night. So it's not like a, be here at six or you won't get in kind of thing.

And then there will be things on. Tuesday and Wednesday, um, both right before and after, uh, dinner breaks. Right. Which would be great. Uh, and also I have, I have a, uh, an announcement about my time in Vegas. Yeah. Uh, given current low rates of COVID, I will hug anyone that wants one. Ooh, no matter how sweaty.

Don't care. Because I know it's not, it's not passed through sweat and it's not passed through anything but air. So. So I'll hold your breath while I hug you, whatever. If you want a hug is what I'm saying, you're getting one, all right? Yeah. Even if it means I'm squeezing a toot out of you.

I'm doing it. Get ready. Same here. Hugs. Hugs a plenty. I'll even hug you, Scott. Yeah, I'll hug, Brian. No problem.

I didn't get vaxed and boosted for nothing. I'm ready to hug. Right. I specifically got vaxed and boosted so I could hug Scott. That's the whole reason. Whole purpose of this entire ordeal. So that I could hug another man. All right.

in a non-awkward way. Yes, of course. Here's an email from Ender, with two hours. Ender, yeah, I know Ender. Yeah, he's cool. Hey, Star Lord and Bug getting caught up on TMS, and the Guardians of the Galaxy ride in Walt Disney World is not a mission breakout repeat.

It's a whole Flarkin-Zandar pavilion opening in Epcot. Oh, dude, I wish, like, this is something I'm also super excited about. yeah he says with a nova core ship right out front of the with a museum in it so there's a ship outside museum inside it opens on 530 that is to say May 30th and I'll be there for two weeks or I'll be there two weeks later since Guardians of the Galaxy is my favorite Marvel property the opening just hit a few hours ago I am so freaking excited one day I'll make it out to the East Coast and see Avengers campus is it too early he means West Coast or West Coast yeah he means West Coast he's already east is he means West Coast uh is it is a It's too early to get a robot warp? Sorry. Wait, what is the robot wrap? Do we do something? I have no idea.

That's not. That's that, so Star Lord and Bug, brilliant Guardians of the Galaxy reference. Obviously, everybody knows Star Lord. Yeah. But Bug is the character that was introduced in the Micronauts was not a Hasbro property. And so they've moved him into the Guardians of the Galaxy universe, which is great. I didn't know that. That's hilarious.

Yeah. I thought that was a one-off. Bug was like the Micronauts answered a nightcrawl. Yeah. Hold on, Mike. I'm going to look at him again. Yeah, I had all these two. Green with little...

Let's see, bug on Micronauts. Antenna and stuff. Oh, yeah, there he is. Yeah. He's a full-on member of the... He's Marvel Universe now, baby. He is, yep. No, I am so excited to hear about...

Like, there are two things in Florida that I'm super excited about. Someday, maybe, I'll get to do this Star Wars Stratocruiser hotel experience thing, but not at... whatever ridiculous price it is now. Reviews have been off the charts for that thing. People love it. Yeah, which goes against what we thought,

like when they were initially showing it, people are like, oh, this thing was so cheesy and lame. No, apparently, apparently it's amazing. Some writer I always follow

for reviews on the verge went, and he said it's just like, it's Westworld. They are completely immersed. There's no, there's no pretending like you're, even as far, like even bringing your lug,

to the thing after you've gone through some sort of airlock landing thing. Right, yes. They're like, they don't go, okay, and does your name, they don't talk to you like normal people. It's all aliens or even if they're humanoid. That sounds so cool. One day I will be doing that. Somehow, some way.

But not the current price, for sure. But then the other thing I'm excited about is the Guardians of the Galaxy thing. Yeah, Guardians is one of my favorite Marvel. It's certainly been two of my favorite movies. have been the Guardians of the Galaxy's movies, so... Were you into the comics before all that? No, not really. No, did not know.

The only character I knew was Drax. Well, Ronan as well, but he's the bad guy, but Drax I knew from Drax the Destroyer and, you know, like Thanos and Eternal's stuff, Drax is a, in humans and stuff like that, Drex is a major contender there. Never heard of Star Lord or Gomorra or Rocket

Raccoon or Groot before the movies. I knew about them. I just assumed it was bad 70s garbage and I was wrong and there's some really good comics around it too, so worth checking out. Do you see the new, do you see the Morbius trailer today, the new one?

Oh, there's a new one dropped today? No. That's still, look, they're still on track for that thing coming out April 1st. Yeah, it looked kind of rad. It looks cool. I mean, I can't speak to the movie's plot or anything, but the action looked really good. So, you should check that out when we're done here.

I will. I totally will. Morning Boys, says Jay. He is, aka E-Fink G4 in the chat when we see him. Morning, boys, after hearing about the spam calls, I went and checked my phone. We were talking about spam the other day. Oh, right. The conservative spam that we keep getting, hey, want to see Trump's first tweet on truth social? Yeah, that got delayed again, right?

Oh, did it? Did they, like, pull it to fix the bugs? I don't think so. Something got delayed. The fact that everybody's information was hackable and exposed to the world. I don't know if that was it or if it was some other reason. Because all those things tend to get hacked real fast. Oh, it would open it and crashed?

Jeannie, why did you install that thing? You don't want that. Oh, I'm sure she didn't. I think she read the news. Oh, well, it's full of weirdos. Anyway, he says, or he checked his phone. I have T-Mobile, and they have a nice Spam Shield app. It's called Scam Shield, and it works.

the last 30 days it blocked 38 calls my phone doesn't ring it just gives me notification that it has a blocked call for texts i think google messages that block spam automatically when i go to when i go to the spam and blocked section in that app i see these political or i see those political and retail store spam messages it's worth finding the setting or a good app that will block these calls for you uh that can and and that can just replay sorry these calls or you can just block these calls for you uh-huh or calls or you anyone he means reply by the way yeah he means reply. That's what messed me up. You can just reply with the

eight, with the number eight followed by some equal signs in the letter D like a penis. Exactly. Love the show though, Jay, AKA EFink G4. Well, you know, look, I've, my phone mostly does this. Like on calls, I never get spam calls. And if I do, it always says spam risk, don't answer. Right. But in my messages, I only get this one, so I don't know how to change it. Yeah, that's same with, same with me. The calls, it blocks beautifully.

Um, but the, uh, the text messages, it doesn't. And so I got to figure out why that is. Yeah. So, anywhere, there's that. Uh, uh, thank you for the email, Jay. And, uh, if you get any spam messages, you know, be like Jay. Just put them where they belong. Put them in their place. Put them where the texts don't shine is what we. Damn straight. What we say. Uh, time for mashup. It's Monday. Yeah, that's right. Jamie made a mashup. And, uh, you're, whoops. Sorry. You're all forced to listen to it. Whether you like it or not. This one is called. Hold on. Pine fresh. Okay. Pine fresh. Don't remember anything about it.

So here it is. Secret weiner date. Undeniably massive butt plug. Ooh, those two are not related. Gender reveal truck nuts. Or that one. Dead by, no, not dead by daylight. Die, don't die.

Dead light. Day, hey, night. No time to. Die by Deadlight. I can't remember the name of the damn game. Your clothes. Give them to me. Now.

Your boots. Your jacket. What is he actually say? Your clothes. Give them to me. Now. Why have I have boots in my head and Arnold? Give me your pants and boots and pants.

She's with One Direction kid now, isn't she? Is that where she went? Zane or Nile or something. I think you're right. Harry Styles. That's it. Olivia Wads with Harry Styles. Oh, he's with Harry Styles and his watermelon song.

Okay, great. Watermelon Sugar. I'm talking about a vagina. She looks at me and she says, I'm not asking for money. All right. I'm looking for a hand job. Can you do this? But I would rather have more weiner than bun than bun than weiner.

That's a good point. How bad does it smell in that vehicle that he needs six air fresheners hanging from the rearview mirror? What the frick. That's the concert I told you about where Ozzy just sat in his chair didn't do anything. Oh, right. Yes. second counselor I am sitting down not gonna get up for you clowns

Bill Medley and Frank Gorsion Shoot, can't remember Jeremy Pie liquor Nope Jeremy Pie Licker No Jeremy Pye oh my god If that's on the border Of going the wrong direction there

I know you thought it sounded innocent But What science would Claire call in about What do you think that would be? Proof of alcohol proof discussion. Oh, yeah. What makes something 90 proof?

Yeah. How drunk can one get in a bathtub of gin? Are you guys ready for a double dose of Randy Jordan today? A Randy Oreo cookie. Yeah, we're the meat. He's the bread. I don't know what kind of Oreos you're buying, but don't buy those anymore. I think your Oreo just might be a plain old sandwich, Scott.

I don't think I feel well. There you go. That's what he said in the car. Yeah, I don't feel well. There's too many. I'm going to be sick. It smells like somebody farted a pine tree in here, he man. For some reason, Skeletor's come up on like four other shows this last couple of weeks.

Yeah, there's just something magical about. Someone tried to be so menacing, but has that voice. Nah, he's just the best. He's the worst and the best. You old poop. I can hear the loon singing. They don't feel so well. He's amazing.

All right, we're going to take our, yeah, go ahead. I ordered my, like, I bought my Switch download for Pokemon Arceus for the flight tomorrow, so we can download. I got an email saying, this purchase comes with a download code for 30 heavy balls. Oh, heavy balls. Heavy balls. That's 15 men right there. It's like 15 large men. Yeah, unless you're, I don't know, who has, unless you're Lance Armstrong.

strong. It'd be 29, big balls. That's right. That's terrible. All right. Hey, look at this. We got some schedule stuff to announce, or to make clear today. Because Dunaway is busy with a funeral today, no play retro today. But tomorrow, at the same time, this is normal, 3.30 Mountain will be here. Okay.

In fact, it'll probably be Tuesdays for a while because we're trying to give a wide birth to A&TP on Mondays. So as a result, I think we're moving to Tuesdays for a bit. We did this with Boop a while back as well. but normal time tomorrow, 330 Mountain Time, right here at frogpants.com. TV, play retro. We're doing a retrospective on all things Bomberman, including the greatest Bomberman game made of all time, which happened to be on the Saturn,

a console hardly anyone bought. Oh, really? Yeah, so you'll learn more about why that is and what that is and why you might be wanting, in a modern sense, be playing a little game called Bombslinger, which is my favorite knockoff. We'll talk about knockoffs, too. We have all kinds of stuff to say about Bomberman.

Check that out. That'll be tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, TMS will be co-hosted by Mr. Justin Robert Young, joining us for a full Tuesday of co-hostiness. So we're excited to have him back for that. And we'll do FilmSack this week when Brian gets home. So we'll be back to that. Yeah, the movie Stealth with Jamie Fox and Jessica Beal. Yes, stealth. Made by Roger Cohen. Hold on. Robert, something Cohen, who made not one of the Cohen brothers. He made the first fast. and the Furious and that Bruce Lee movie, Dragon, and other stuff. And other stuff? Triple X. I almost forgot. I like other stuff. Yeah, other stuff is good.

Other stuff is good. Although why they kicked him out of the Fast and the Furious stuff, I don't know. Maybe he didn't want to do it anymore. But no one talks about that guy. He started it at all. Now we all talk about Justin Lynn and those guys. And they're cool, but, you know, whatever. I told Justin, I promised I wouldn't bring up any politics tomorrow.

And he laughed and said, I'm going to go double politics. on your house or something. He's going to go. Politics, politics, politics is what he's going to do. We'll see how it goes.
