Pancakes with a side of concussion. I dabbled in college. One-toothed mayo man. Does the Nile reach into England? I don't like freebie. Premature ejectulation. Thank you. Horsy sauce, money shot.

If you see a guy running, that ain't me. Lemony fresh, biodegradable garbage. I've got scurvy. Please pass the rum. Keep that up, and she won't make you pancakes. Sounds like a chainsaw wielding bear. Pull it out of your brown bag. What is lettuce?

Tom's tech time. Double done. and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. I came home, and my wife had a whole meal on the table, and I said, you know, I want pancakes. And she's like, oh, man, but I've already made hamburgers. And I'm just like, I have to have pancakes right now. Look, she should make pancakes.

In a thousand years, I'll get right on it. This is the morning stream. Dave's not here, man. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the TMS, the morning stream. It is Wednesday, July 6th, 2022. Yep, it's still 2022. It's making sure we got all that clear.

Welcome back to the show. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Hi, Brian. Hello, Scott. You know, she absolutely should make pancakes. And then when she's done, she should take the pan over to the sink and carefully wipe it out, wipe out all of the butter that might be left over in there. And then take the pan and just slam it down as hard as possible on that guy's head. Yeah, as hard as she can, causing bodily injury. Call it self-defense. Yeah, I agree. No jury would convict her. And then take those pancakes, just the actual pancakes, and shove those up his ass. How about that? Yes, exactly. Yes. Welcome to the show, everyone.

We're here and we're not queer, but it's okay. You can get used to it. Okay? You can get used to it. It's fine. You can get used to our cisgendered lameness, white guy. Oh, like you didn't dabble in college. Okay, Scott.

Okay. All right. Well, let me tell you what that tells me. Brian dabbled in college. I definitely did not. All right. Hey, look at this. I got to tell you a story that I'm a little freaked out by because I don't know what this means.

Okay. All right. uh you ever you ever fling yourself out of bed you ever lose your car you ever lose your car keys you ever fling yourself out of bed like in the middle of the night like in dead sleep you lurch out of bed like just not okay so like out of bed not like a sitting straight upright super quick but like a yeah like a launch yourself out of the bed like causing you know potential bodily harm all that stuff well for some reason at at exactly 1258 p.m. because Kim looked at her,

Kim looked at the clock when this happened. Sure, sure. I, in the middle of, I'm probably a dream. I don't know. I don't remember any of this. Oh,

so you don't, you don't remember any of this. Holy cow. Well, I remember the part flying out of bed and going, why am I out, you know,

what happened here? Like, I was in the aftermath. I remember that. But I don't remember what I was dreaming that sent me there. Wow. But it clearly must have been a dream. But I full on just like,

ejected myself from the bed at rapid speed. and ended up like four feet from where I should be on the floor, whacked my head on the freaking wood floor, you know, just kind of laying there going, what the frick? And Kim's like, are you okay? You okay? And then looked at the clock, I guess.

And I was like, yeah, if I'm fine, I think, I don't know what happened. I don't know what that is. And all this somehow probably worked its way into your dream, like became part of your dream. It probably did. I just don't remember any of it from waking up. And then I couldn't sleep because it was so,

weird and I was so rattled from it. I didn't get to, I didn't sleep again until like, I don't know, 2.30, maybe, 245. I finally maybe fell asleep. So it sucked. I don't recommend it for anybody. But I don't like that. That's like, that makes me feel like I could do a lot worse at night, you know? I could like.

For sure. I mean, you've already kicked Kim. So we know that. Oh, yeah. Kicked her hard. Kicked her real hard, baby. I did. I boozer.

She's not going to, if you keep that up, she's not going to make you pancakes. I'm just going to tell you that right now. but like what why what is it what is it in a dream that would actually send me flying what could I possibly been thinking about like I've done the kick thing before where I thought I was on a bike or I was fighting somebody or something and I but I always remember those dreams I don't know what this was I don't know what you do I did you know uh it's the video games God it's the the video games are corrupting your mind the D&D is is uh too much a cult you're you're getting involved with the occult.

Yeah, finally. Satan has taken hold. Satan worship. Yeah. Jesus take the wheel. Okay? That's all I'm saying. Yes, exactly.

Also, I wasn't going to say about that. Oh, some people, when they have these like weird little moments like this, they end up getting a little night vision camera in their rooms. Yeah. You're going to do that? I don't want that. The paranormal activity style. No, because all I'm going to find, like, I don't even want to see myself do that. I don't want to see myself fling myself out of bed.

That freaks me out to see that. I'm so with you. Just like knowing you did it is one thing, watching a video of you doing it, of yourself doing it and not, like, no memory of whatsoever is a whole different. Yeah, I don't want to watch that. It'll feel weird to see it. I don't want anything to do with that. So I'm not doing that.

I was tempted the other day to get one of those car cameras because we had a really dumb driver in front of us the other day. And I just thought, man, this had been good, like a good Reddit post on the dumb driver's Reddit and I didn't do it. Yeah, I think about that when I'm lifting that, you know, they're driving for lift. The term lifting, I swear to God, I know. Everybody thinks, you know, power weights and bro.

He's ripped. He's buff. Yeah. Yeah, clearly. Clearly, these guns ain't who wants a couple tickets to the gun show. It's the Squirt Gun Show. Have you been tempted, though, like to put a camera in there? Yes, to put a camera in. Yeah. And I would do the one, I would do the one that also has a front-facing camera and a back-facing camera so that

when I have some of these stories, like the other night, for example, decided to drive, I'm surprised I didn't tell this story. So when was it? This would have been Monday night. I decided, you know, I'm not going to, oh, not Monday night. Sorry, Sunday night because I did D&D Monday night. So Sunday night, I go out and do a little lift driving. And my last ride of the day, I'm like, All right, yeah, this will be it, is picking up somebody at the emergency entrance of a Good Samaritan Hospital up north, about a few miles north of me. Sure. And so I pull up there, you know, she's a, she's a larger woman, whatever.

I mean, I'm not, I'm fat, so I'm certainly not going to judge. But she's having a really hard time breathing. And I'm guessing that that was part of why she was in the hospital, why she was in the emergency room. Sure. So, you know, I'm like,

oh, man, I just want to, uh, uh, make sure that she has a very comfortable ride. I'll put the seat forward for, I've got,

for whatever reason, I'm listening to, um, first aid kit, which is such a great band. If you are not familiar. First aid kit. First aid kit.

Uh, these two women, a little bit of a country style to them, harmonies. Um, oh, they're so good. And,

uh, I'll send you, yeah, you've got them in the show notes now. You've got to check him out there. So good. Never heard of them, but I will check them out for sure. And so I'm trying to provide her with a really comfortable ride. And as we're driving, I'm just hearing her breathing, just laborate breathing and thinking, oh, man, feel so bad for her. And, you know, as we're going along, the breathing gets deeper.

And before I know it, she is snoring. and it is like a wild animal is let loose in the backseat. Oh my gosh. It's like full on like riproar snoring. Full on like completely asleep like. Oh, geez. Like that is that is an accurate description of the noises that I'm hearing coming out of the backseat. Oh my heck.

She must have something going on where her apnea is like making it so she can't sleep ever or something. For sure. Yeah. So I'm thinking, oh my God. Like what's going to happen when I get to to, you know, a place to drop her off? Am I going to have to wake her up? Am I going to, like, should I tap on the brakes every once in all just to jolt her awake? Just like a little, just like a little crank the volume up for a second, turn it down again.

Right, exactly. Yeah, so she, so I just, obviously, I just let her sleep, you know. She's been in the hospital. She probably needs whatever sleep she's getting, clearly she needs. so I get her to her place fortunately it's an apartment building that's got a lot of speed bumps in the parking lot so the first one of those jolted her right awake and she's like oh cool all right we're here already wow you know I don't know how you I don't know she says how to how you listen to that music this late at night and not fall asleep I said oh no you're sleeping you just didn't see me fall asleep

yeah yeah no kidding so she wow that's a that's a now if you'd have had a camera though what what value would you see there would it be just be if you so that i so that you could hear the noises oh oh oh on the show yeah yeah on the show i could play the i could play the sound to go along with it yeah everything's content we should do that for sure cameras everywhere for content everybody like i know people that have enjoyed watching me fly out of bed i'm sure of it i just don't think i could know for sure you couldn't the music the music the music the the the gifts the stuff added to the gifts that it's nightmare material yeah yeah nobody wants that in their lives except everyone but me so there's that uh we got an email from kevin i wanted to mention

real quick because kevin apparently uh well he thinks he saw me here's what he says okay all right hi scott the wife dogs and i moved from seattle to saratoga springs this is south of us okay we like to go to daybreak which is where i live to walk the dogs around the lake this is the same like where Mendoza is and all that stuff. Gotcha. Or was. No one's seen him for years, a couple years. Anyway, I think I saw you and Ripley running midday last Saturday.

Was this you? I was the one on the road bike with yellow bib shorts. I was waiting for my wife to walk the dogs after I rode back from Park City. Just wanted to say hi. Nope, that wasn't me. Dear Craigslist disconnections. You were wearing running shorts and, uh... Well, if you saw, okay, two things here.

If you saw me jogging, that definitely wasn't me because I didn't run that day. That was not a run day. And when I take the dog, it's never Ripley. It's always Rainer. So if it was a shorter black dog, then you may have seen me if I wasn't running. But if you saw somebody actually running with a great big, like, you know, Wymer Rainer looking dog, not me. I'm afraid.

But I do like to go around the lake all the time. Interesting. You never know. But he just said, he was on a road bike. Maybe he, you know, maybe his high speed, riding made it look like you were running. Oh, it could be. Just slowly walking.

It could be, but hearing that he rode all the way back from Park City on his bike, that's a massive ride. Massive. How long is that? Oh, my gosh, it's got to be. Well, let's see. Park City. And you know what?

I can do it with my phone fast, right? I can say, what's the distance? Hold on. All right. Because this is going to make him look like a freaking hero here. Yeah, okay. Park City. Okay, here we go.

Park City, Utah. Okay. Let me do that. Park City to daybreak. Yeah. So it's an elevation gain of 7,001 feet. Wow. Okay.

It is, oh, I guess that's not too bad. 27 miles to get there. Oh, that's a nice ride. Holy cow, that elevation, geez. Yeah, there's a lot elevation change there. So he sounds like a stud, and I'm not. So, there's that. For sure. Yeah, four hours.

I mean, that's, oh, I'm. So I'm looking at Google Maps. I'm seeing four hours, 17 minutes. On a bike, yeah. That's probably about right. I'm 40.40.2 miles is what I'm seeing. Oh, really? Big Cottonwood.

Yeah, big Cottonwood Canyon. I wonder if you're looking at, you're looking at bike directions, or you're looking at, you're looking at, you're looking at, yeah, because if you do the highway, which is probably not, doesn't have, like, I-80, you couldn't take a bike on A-80. so you probably, you know, how do you change that? How do you change the method? Up at the very top left, on Google Maps, it's up at the top left. You see like a car and a bus and a walking person and a biking person. I use Apple Maps now, but I don't, and I know they have an option for this because I've seen it before.

Yeah, Apple Maps doesn't have the bike stuff. It sucks. Oh, I thought they did. If they do, it's not in the Denver area. Like it says, oh, cycling directions have not been added to your location. Stay tuned for biking. access or something like that. That is odd.

Okay, well, yeah, you're right. So for me to drive there, it's about an hour. Yeah. Him to bike there. Four hours, 17 minutes. So 40 miles, that is no small feet. Yeah, and he's just like, oh, it's just driving back to meter from Parks State. Dude, that's a lot.

That's really intense. That is a lot. Yeah, exactly. Holy mackerel. Damn. All right, good for you, Kevin. Yeah, well done, Kevin. All right, so, okay, that's what I thought.

I just looked at my previous, like, searches. and there are places where the bike stuff is there, it's just not everywhere. Not everywhere. Not in Narvada anyway, unfortunately. That's unfortunate. But Google Maps has that. Google Maps has great mapping directions.

Oh, have you seen, I know we need to get to Dunaway really quickly here, but have you seen Felt? Felt. No, what is Felt.com. Felt. This is a free tool to make maps on the internet. And it's amazing. like it's really really good you know uh maybe after the show check it out because there's so much

to see in there there's a great tutorial you sign up for free and um and so like if you need to give somebody like you're having a uh baby shower yeah oh i need to give people directions it's like and i'm just going to draw it and mac paint or something like that and you've got a bunch of horrible vertical and horizontal lines um no this is uh this is cool because it's like you know obviously you just give somebody your address it can plug it in. But if you want to give any sort of like location information or, oh, yeah, we're going to start here. Then we're going to hike up this trail. And then we're going to go over here and have lunch and this sort of thing. That's something you can't do just giving somebody

address. And this, and felt is really, really good for that. Oh, look at this. This is rad. Really, really cool. Oh, wow. Okay. And I very quickly logged in and it's like, here you go, go for it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to have to play with this. This seems neat. Yeah, it's, it deserves more time than we should give it here but if you you know if you have to do more for mapping than just give somebody in a dress

and have them find the shortest way there then um that sounded like you said give somebody in a dress the shortest time there in a dress yeah it really threw me for a second then I went no he said address Scott use your brain use your mind exactly yeah like this I could see doing like a

Colorado or Denver map showing like or even a Vegas map when people are like Brian, what kinds, I'm going to Vegas for the first time, what kinds of things can I do in Vegas? Then I can do a little map and say, oh, well, here you've got Cosmo, and there's China Poblano, and up here you've got Tacos El Gordo, and down here you've got the Luxor e-gaming Arena. Sure, sure. No, that makes sense. That's really cool.

I had no idea this existed. It's not an app either. It's just all web-based, right? All web-based, so yeah, it's all done on the thing. I like the web. taste is good. Mm-hmm. All right.

Faux shizzle. We are going to do Dunaway twice today. Hello. Hello. I hope I'll have ten minutes in between to recover. Yeah, it's going to be a little rough with your refractory period because Brian Dunaway coming on early, coming on again to do this. Hey, look who it is. Brian Dunaway joining us from South Carolina. Hi, Brian.

Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Just trying to log into the TMS Daily Dark Thing. Do it. Oh. I'm getting in there, too. Hold on. Yeah, I see you both in there. You're good.

We should be good. Sweet. Nice to have you here. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Oh, hi. Hi. Hi, how are you? What's your day like?

It's good. It's good. I've been cosplaying Pitfall Harry all morning, so that's been, you know. Oh, that's great. It's been pretty sweet. I think cosplay as Pitfall Harry. Yeah, what do you care? Yeah, you know, people, some people play the floor is lava.

I play Pitfall Harry. is trying to jump over these crocodiles. Yeah, a few looks. Yeah, it's not too weird. Do you have fellow coworkers lay on the ground and roll towards you like their rolling logs? Yeah, exactly. And then when they do that, then I kneel down to go, and I kind of, I just throw cash out of my pockets.

It's really cool. And then start at the beginning, back at the beginning of the room. And yeah, perfect, excellent. Yeah, it sounds really good. Hey, you know what else sounds good? Somebody going to play with us. Let's find out who it is. Hi, who's this?

Oh. Hey, it's Shane. Oh, hello, Shane. Shane Maddox? Yeah, that's me. Oh, man, one of my favorite dudes in the whole tadpole. It's good to have you here, man. He's also shaved.

The most chill dude you'll ever meet in your entire life. 100%. It's weird how he brings me, when we're in Vegas, he brings me comfort because he's so cool. He's like, in this world of chaos, there's such Shane. Unmovable. Just as chill as can be. I freaking love it. He's like Bradley Cooper's, uh, chill.

shavehead little brother is what he is. You are. Well done. Hey, let's pull you in and play this game. Brian, will you explain to Shane how this game works so he knows? I will. It's time to play the tadpool if you. Why did you take us to the toilet? That's why I do all my shows. Cool. I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics

and Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us. And it's their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Now, Shane, as you know, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. And if your team wins, you get a prize package. That includes a wizard of legend and last oasis. Ooh, both excellent. I played Wizards of Legend a lot. That's a very cool game.

Cool. Good indie. Yeah. Good indie. Good indie. How about Last Oasis? No. I have not played that.

I don't think I played that. I was trying to remember that one. That's very... The name is familiar, is it not? it is to me too. Yeah. How do you guys have time to play all these games? Well, back when we were doing the boop show, we had to play these indies all the time.

Oh, right, of course. Yeah, but last oasis. We've let our love life languish. Yeah, that's a little bit true. Oh, it says, okay, the world is dying. It's a nomadic survival MMO. You can build, let's see, walking mobile bases to travel to new lands. Oh, this is trippy.

It is really good. Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of. And it is fantastic, it's beautiful, and it's a lot of fun. Yeah, came out in 2020, new-ish game. Very cool. Yeah. Very cool. Well, that could be yours, Shane, but you're going to have to work for it.

Let's go ahead and give these guys their topic so we can get this game started. All right. We asked 790 tadpoolers. Wow. The following question, only one person passed, which was the funniest thing, that one person could not come up with an answer. And I'd love to beat the person who put pass for this one. No, I don't know. All right.

Hands on buzzers. Yeah. Besides ketchup, name a fast food condiment. Damn it. Brian Dunaway. I'm going with mustard. Show me mustard. Number one.

Yeah, number one answer. I can't think of anything. They might go on something. Ketchup was the previous number one answer, and I thought, no, it'll be more interesting if I take ketchup out and move everything up a spot. It's weird that they passed on this one. That's weird. I know. I know.

That's weird. I don't know any fast food condiments. Maybe they're the healthiest people on the planet. They never go to fast food. English is not my first language. Yeah. Who am I? Who are you?

All right. Well, it's you and Shane then, Brian. Yeah, Shane, you and Brian working together. Let's see how many of these you can get. Nine answers still left on the board. Name a fast food condiment. Well, Shane, would you? you like to to dip into the condiment pile and give us one or would you like me to pull another

one out of the done away hat uh let's see so yeah i don't want to say too many uh give any ideas but don't give me any ideas i was going to say mayo or something may it's a good answer i don't think it's going to be too high on the board but it's got to steal beyond that's good Give us some points, Shane. That's a good plan. Yeah, you guys want points, so this is good. Sure. All right, in honor of Justin Robert Young, show me mayonnaise.

Oh, number two. Number two, more people. Yeah. You got to be careful with mayonnaise, though. Mustard, room temperature, fine. Manease, man, you're taking your chances. You can go bad. You got to be careful.

Well, the ones that are in the little package, they're super preserved. You're fine. They're really good. By the way, by the way, when I say mustard up top there, I, I, I do. did combine brown mustard and yellow mustard. Oh, good to know. Okay. Great poop.

Yeah. Grapeopal. By the way, since we did mayonnaise, I got to play this. I found a clip yesterday about mayonnaise here. Listen to this. A mayonnaise man likes mayonnaise on his bread. Can a mayonnaise man have mayonnaise on his bread, please? There you go.

Why are you recording me in the bathroom again? How much time are you on TikTok per day? That one I got. I didn't get that from TikTok. Shower time, why you invading it, Scott Johnson? I didn't get that one from TikTok. I got it from, I think, Reddit or something. Anyway, some guy's singing about mayonnaise.

He had one tooth. It was pretty cool. One tooth. He brushes his teeth with mayonnaise. Yeah, I don't know. All right. Yeah. All right. Shane, do you have another one, or do you owe me to pull one out of my massive collection,

my massive brown bag of condiments that I keep wherever I go to fast food restaurants? I've got a few, but what do you? What do you have in mind? I figure probably people always like the barbecue sauce. That's the real popular one. Everybody always gets to get the barbecue sauce when they get the condiments. Sure. One of my favorites.

Yeah, you get your chicken nuggets. You got to get your barbecue sauce. All right, show me BBQ sauce. Oh, yeah, there's a point. Number six, yeah. Fun watching the tadpool. Like, all the different spellings of the word barbecue. Both spelled out and then BBQ, yeah.

Who spells out barbecue? Yeah, why would you do that? A lot of people did. A lot of people in the tent pool spelled out barbec. Why would you put yourself through that? We're a lot of work now. The Tedpool watch list. That's a lot of work, man. It is.

Why you do that? All right, Shane, what else do you got? Shane, you got to give me one, Shane. Give me something that feels good to you. I think relish. Relish. That's a good one. That was a little Shane.

sounding answer I've ever heard. That was amazing. Relish. I'm a relish. Some relish sounds good. That's great. All right. Okay.

Show me relish. Oh, really? That's surprising to me, actually. I combined relish and pickles, by the way, because... Wow. Even pickles? Yeah. Because pickles...

Pickles, I don't know if I consider pickles, like sliced pickles, an actual condiment, but in relish, they're a condominent. I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah, good point. Lettuce isn't a condiment. It's garnish, right, exactly. Oh, lettuce isn't a condiment?

I didn't know that. You know what I'm saying? I guess it wouldn't be, right? No, I would, I'd say lettuce is not a condiment. Pickles are not a condiment, but if you chop them up and make a sauce, something out of them that you can spread, then it's a condiment.

So what is the deal? What is lettuce? So is lettuce an ingredient? Lettis is a topping. It's a topping. Is it? It's a topping. You're spreadable for sure.

Right. So, okay, so lettuce is a topping. I'm never had a, I've never had it come up where I had to make a designation for lettuce, and I just never had heard it before. That's interesting. Topping works, yeah. It's like a pizza. Tomato, lettuce, onions, all those are toppings.

So don't guess any of those. They're ingredients until they're toppings, though, right? What's that? Their ingredients until your toppings? Yeah. Their ingredients then their toppings, right? Well, yes, exactly. Because otherwise, they're a salad.

Put a salad on my burger, please. All right. I'm going to go with salsa because everyone goes to Taco Bell. That's a good one. Yeah. Hot sauce, whatever. Hot sauce, all right. Well, what are you saying?

Are you saying salsa or you're saying hot sauce? I'll say, I'll say, shut up, Dunaway. I'm going to say you hot sauce. Let's do hot sauce. Show me. Show me hot sauce. Yep, hot sauce. Number five.

Hot salsa. Um, interesting. Okay. Oh, I wonder if they got brand specific here or not the chat, the tadpool. The tadpoolees, except for that one guy. Because everyone, I'm just going to go for it because I feel like the points are possibly there. I'm going to say Arby sauce. Arby's sauce. Ooh, Arby's sauce is so good. Yeah, it is good.

It is good. All right, show me Arbys. You get a little Arbys on your marriage, a little Arby's sauce. Yeah. Number seven. Some good points. Yeah, it would put me ahead, barely. Arbys fast.

Arbys. All right. Ooh, damn. Smooky, too, salt and pepper are seasonings and not condiments. Thank you very much. They're always seasoning. Yes, exactly. Chick-fil-A sauce.

The little chick-fil-a-ta-a sauce. They have a sauce. It's delicious. It's probably my favorite. My wife made. made grits with it once and it was insane. It was so good. Really? Oh my gosh. Just use it as a base flavoring and it was insane.

Yeah. Oh my gosh. So good. Anyway. All right. Show me Chick-fil-A sauce. Yeah, number eight. Yes. Wow. I don't feel like, I don't feel good about beating shame, but here goes. Let's do another one. You're not going to be ashamed because you're going to do one of two things. We're going to run the board.

Yeah. Or you're about to lose it. Yeah. Take a pick. Okay, I'll take my... Well, wait. If I... Oh, I see. Yeah, well, you guys'd have to buzz out, so...

And then I'd have to win to... Yeah. It's a good point. We do favor... The house favors the patron. Contestant. Yeah. For sure.

Well, it has to. Okay. Oh, geez. I wonder if anyone put fry sauce on here. That's huge here, but I don't think anywhere outside of Utah and Idaho is a big deal. So I'm just going to say fry sauce. If you live here, you know what that is. It's like pink sauce.

Yeah. Yep. All right. Show me fry sauce. sauce. Look at that. Freddy's fry sauce. But I also combine pink sauce or just plain fry sauce.

I put it all under the Freddy's umbrella because clearly they make the best. And nobody said, nobody said Freddy's jalapeno fry sauce, which is my go-to. I agree. It is better. Okay. Well, you made a distinction between salsa and hot sauce. You didn't say you combined those, right?

That's correct. I'm going to put that on the board. Let's say salsa. All right. That is correct, sir. Show me the Saza. Boo! Salsa was number...

Wow, where's salsa? There it is. Tide for 34. One person said Salsa. How far they have fallen. My gosh. That's weird. Yeah. Yeah, it's more of a dip than a condiment.

I mean, yeah, you can, you know, if you put it on a baked potato, like if you do a baked potato with sour cream and salsa and stuff, that's a condiment. But on its own, it's a dip. Yeah, but if you're getting tacos and stuff. I like pouring in my... I like pouring sauce. I guess fry sauce is a dip too,

right? Fry sauce is a dip. Once again, it's not about what's true. It's about what the tadpool thought. And I think if they're taking in that hot sauce, they're going to need a little celery which is not a condiment, but they're going to need some ranch sauce.

They're going to need to ranch it up. Cool it off. All right. Show me ranch. No. Wow. Big points. Big money, big money Shane.

Yeah. Big money Shane. That's what we call him. That's what we call them. That's what we call them. Big money Shane. Ranch is a dressing unless you put it on a burger, then it's a condiment. That's right.

Scott mentioned RVs. A horsey sauce. Oh, I love horsy sauce. They love some horsy sauce. Yeah, careful with him, though. I'd once squirted one on a friend, and it didn't look good. Anyway, continue. Weird, okay.

What? Why were you squirt? I don't want to know. It was a bad scene. Show me Scott's money shot. Yeah. Oh, man. Number four, and we have a tie game with one answer left on the board.

You can't lose because either, well, I guess we could. You could lose. Yeah, you could. No, no, because if Scott gets nine, he gets more points. but we run the board. Oh, right. Board run. And if it's a tie, then it goes to Shane.

So right now, Shane, there is no way you can lose. Yeah, there's no way you can lose. We got a freebie, sweet. Yeah, we're going to make. Christine Fletcher's going to be thrilled because I'm going to play a new thing to there. Anyway, sorry. Shane, go ahead. What else do you got?

I personally love sweet and sour sauce from the McDonald's with the nuggets. But that's just me, Shane. We can just say what we want to now because it doesn't. matter. You can say every sauce you want until we find one we want. Is the, uh, yeah, that's one option? Is the Chick-fil-A sauce like a, uh, like a Thousand Island? What is it? It's a weird sauce. It's kind of like a red sauce, isn't it? Or is it kind of more? Well, no, Chick-fil-A's, Chick-fil-A's more like Thousand Island, kind of Russian sort of, uh, thing. It's not really that, but it's, it's adjacent.

It's like that and mayonnaise or that, like, it's Thousand Island in May or something. Polynesian sauce, I think, is the one I like so much. It's kind of a little bit more tangy as You're not thinking of the Seshwan one, right? Not the one off, okay. No, that's the McDonald's, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, McDonald's Susser. Rick's and Morty's.

Sorry. Oh, go ahead. What's that? What's that, Shane? You can buy honey mustard in the mustard category also. Oh, good question. No, the mustard that's on the board is just brown mustard, yellow mustard. Oh, so not sweetie mustard.

No, I consider that a different thing. Sweetie. Sweetie mustard. Let's try the, you want to try the honey mustard? What was the first one you said? I love sweet and sour. The first thing I said was, oh, shoot, I've already forgotten now. He said sweet and sour.

Sweet and sour. Sweet and sour, yeah, McDonald's, sweet and sour. That's my absolute favorite go-to sauce after. You get that with your chicken McNuggets happy meal, do you? You do. Yes, I do. I like a kid's happy meal. Four nuggets, please.

Oh, my gosh. All right. Show me sweet and sour sauce. that's a shame that's a shame um all right i'm gonna go with uh saracha oh yeah yeah absolutely i like that um oh by the way i meant to say that sweet and sour sauce was number 14 on the list by the way all right uh show me shri racha shri racha shri rach shri rach shri rach no was that we get one more Number 20 was Shri Racha.

Hot sauce probably covered it for most people. I had to guess. I feel like the tadpoles a bunch of smart asses. And I just feel like they did the Sashwan sauce. I just feel like... You should listen to Shane. Oh, we should? What did Shane say?

He said honey mustard. Honey mustard, okay, yeah. All right, is that what you say? You're saying honey mustard, by the way? I'm not asking Shane's lead. Shane's leading this thing. Let's do it. Show me honey mustard.

Number nine. Nice. Nicely done. Congratulations. You're a winner. Why don't you just give me the answer? Yeah. Well done, Shane.

And Brian, that means Shane wins, of course. That was awesome. I'd love to hear some of these others that I couldn't pull out of my ass. Yeah, absolutely. So fire sauce, which you get at your Taco Bell, was number 12. Special sauce, which I think, just find that on Big Macs. Let's see, Seshwan sauce was number 16, so that wouldn't have done very good for you.

Malt vinegar, if you're a fish and chips lover. Oh, yeah. Chick-fil-A, Polynesian sauce was number 18. Let's see, tartar sauce. Oh, Tartor sauce. H.P. Brown sauce, which is a Hewlett-Packard product that you can only find in the U.K. Yeah, and it's more expensive to buy the refills than it is to just buy the burger again. Right. Exactly. Yeah, you'll keep that bottle forever. The refills get really expensive.

Soy sauce. Let's see. Wasabi, Zax's sauce. We don't have Zaxes here in Colorado, but I understand that they're good. It's very good. That's awesome. Bacon jam, one person said. Bacon jam. Bacon jam. Yeah. That sounds like. Fantastic. Cain sauce. Only one person said cane sauce. And I argue that the only the best reason to go to, to Cain, raising Cain's chicken is because of the Cain sauce. Yeah, the chicken's average.

The sauce is insane. Chipotle Ranch, coleslaw, dairy queen wet wipe, Diablo sauce, duck sauce. Diablo, dairy queen wetwife was

one person's answer. This is where people put in funny answers hoping that I'm going to read them after at the end of the game. Somebody said French fry holder, and I think they might have misunderstood condiment and maybe thought I just said condom.

Oh, condom, yeah, because that's where you keep your french fries as a condom, yeah. It's a French fry holder, yeah, yeah, gravy, grease, something called Kajmach, K-A-J-M-A-K, I don't know what that is. Don't either. Kimchi, one person said Red Robin sauce, I didn't know Red Robin had a sauce, but somebody said spread, which you get it in-and-out burger, which I think is their special sauce. I mean, it definitely is. What a burger, what a burger spicy ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Ah, Worstestershire. Very nice. What's this here?

What's this here sauce? What's us here? Yeah, exactly. Well, this has made me hungry is one thing that's happened. And the other thing it's done is made sure that Shane is a big winner today. So, Shane, congratulations. Brian will be sending you. No, you need to send Brian an email.

Coverville at gmail.com. Yeah. I'm not lazy. I'm not doing anything until you send me an email. Damn straight. Damn straight, Shane. Hey, Shane, how do you... Exactly. How do you feel about your big win today?

Absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much. See, that's great. It's why I love about Shane, because you can never... His mood about his mood about just, meh, is the same. It's the same mood. I freaking love it. I don't want him to ever change. Shane, have a great week. We'll see you next time. All right. Brian, good job. You did it. Now, here's the funny thing about you. You haven't left yet because you're coming back. That's right. You're coming back later.

We're not done with you. We're not done yet. That's right. After we get Tom Meriden here, we'll have you in again because everyone's out of town for recommendals, and we needed a third. So you're our recommendal third today. Oh, so I'm the third choice. Gotcha. Perfect.

Yeah. How do you feel about being, you know, not the second guy? He's not even the third. You're just the third guy. Yeah, that's good. You know why? No responsibility, but some of the benefits. Yeah, there you go.

Also, I was going to say someone in the chat, remind me. Someone in the chat put the point out there that salsa is literally Spanish for sauce. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. So I guess it's a sauce. You can put it like there are burgers that have like a pepperjack cheese and a salsa. Absolutely a condiment. Yeah. And it counts on, you know, like open taco type, you know, like sweet tacos, although those aren't really fast food.

It's a taco type. So go drink some salsa. Get a big thing of pace and just drink it. That's what we're saying. Hey, also, real quick, Dunaway and I yesterday did a great episode of Play Retro where we talked about Pitfall and the various games that happened after Pitfall.

It's influence in the industry and why pitfall is considered the classic platformer that it is. If you want to hear about that, just look for Play Retro wherever you get your podcast. You can check out the Vod on Twitch, also YouTube. And we had a great time. It was really fun. I love talking about that.

It was so much fun. Twitch is. Twitch, or Twitch, pitfall's not, I think it's kind of a shit game now, unfortunately. Oh, really? Yeah, it doesn't hold up. But I will not deny. I will not deny. I haven't played in a long time, so I can't say one way or the other.

Oh, you and I were wrong, by the way, me and Ibitt on something a point, which was we both thought the levels were randomly placed. Like if you procedurally generated, yeah. Well, even not even generated procedurally, but like if you, even if they had like a, think of it as a deck of cards and you went from one screen to the next we never knew what screen you were going to get i thought that's how it was but it wasn't it was all planned out that was actually a map oh yeah yeah real map that berserk was had the uh shelving of the screens like that but yeah but not pitfall i know that was already predetermined i had no idea until brian i didn't either yeah all right then kind of bummed me out but anyway uh pitfall the best one's the genesis game go play it everybody oh geez all right hey i know that's how that game's

sounded um done away uh we'll see you soon really Bye. See him very soon. Kiss our butts. Bye. Okay. Bye. He's left.

We have time for one news story. One. Here it comes. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. In the news this morning, good morning. It's time for the news brought to you by. America's Next Top Podcaster.

It is finals week. So if you go to the site right now, America's Next Stoppodcaster.com, the two episodes that just got posted this morning are the two contributions by our two finalists, September McCrady and Ken Pellashok, who is going to win? This is such a great final because both submissions were fantastic. Learn about yeast and asbestos and why both of them are exciting and redos. Go over to America's Nextuppodcaster.com today.

They were really good, those two finals. They were, yeah. One of the best finals we've ever had on that show. Yeah, I think maybe the best. I'll go ahead and say it. Take that all, you previous winners. Okay, Brian, here's our one story. Speaking of wet wipes, somebody put wet wipes, wet wipes.

Thank you, Dairy Queen Wet Wipes. Yep, we got a whole island of them. A huge mass of used wet wipes has formed an island that has changed the course of England's second longest river. Oh, my God. Oh, this sounds horrible. It does sound horrible because it is. A wet wipe island the size of two tennis courts is formed in the Thames, causing the river as it flows through London to change course. according to the Times of London.

Ministers have been asking people to stop using wet wipes, and the government is considering banning those that contain plastic, because that's the problem. The plastic ones build up. Fleur Anderson, a labor MP, warned that when flushed down the drains, the wipes don't disintegrate and instead end up in the Thames, England's second longest river. What did I say, Tames?

Yeah, you keep saying Tames. I said that my whole life. Domesticated. I definitely know it's not Thames. I know that. It's definitely not Thames, and Taxicab keeps trying to get you to say, Thames. I'm not going to say Thames.

It's not happening. The Thames. Yeah, the Thames. What's the first longest river, I guess? Let's see. It doesn't say. The Nile, isn't it? Isn't the Nile?

Well, the Nile, does the Nile reach into England? I didn't know that. Oh, no, I'm sorry. The England's second longest river. Yeah, I don't know. I have no idea. Yeah, I don't know what that would be. Something else that's hard to say.

Let's see, there's an island the size of two tennis courts, and I've been and stood on it. It's near Hammersmith Bridge in the Thames. And my shoes were so clean once I did. It's spelled like lemons. It's a meter deep or more in places of just wet wipes, she says. It's actually changed the course of the Thames. Anderson during a session of questions on the environment, food, and rural affairs in the commons per the times. They probably all yelled at each other because that's what they do.

Probably, yeah. Most wet wipes are made with plastic, which is not breakdown when flood. according to the environmental charity. TEMS 21, whatever that is. That's where you go get your cheap clothes at the mall. I don't know. Forever TEMS 21. Furthermore, they can break down into microplastics

and damage aquatic life and the TEMS ecosystem according to the charity. The charity is urging the government to ban wet wipes containing plastic and calling for regulation to label how wet wipes should be disposed of clearly. Why don't we just stop making them with plastic? We don't need plastic ones, do they?

Yeah, no, make them You can easily make something that is that quickly used and tossed biodegradable and still have its lemony fresh goodness. All it is is just, you know, a wet paper towel. Make that paper towel out of something that biodegrades easily. Like regular paper. How about that? Like regular paper?

Although this sounds like it's probably baby wipes. That could be wrong. Oh, it could be baby wipes, yeah. By the way, the longest river in England is the river Severn, and I had no idea. Never even heard of it. I'm sure it's a cool river It's so big we can't remember the name That's how big is

220 miles of river is what that is It's a lot of river Brian How much river can you handle today? How about 280 miles of river? Woo-hoo! All right, we're gonna- Claire is upset that we just don't use water in a cloth.

Hey look, Claire, this is closer to you than it is to us. So complain to your... Yeah, talk to your local hoo-ha down there. Whatever they do. Exactly, yes. Also, Claire, what did your mom wipe your butt with? Because that's what these are. These are wet wipes for babies.

That's what this is. This isn't like... It's not KFC wet wipes. No. So what did they... What did you get in your Irish upbringing? Did they, you know, power hose, your Viget? What did they give you? Use gin and a sock, and an old sock. We used an old sock and we used it twice. We'd wash it, use it twice and use it again. The very next day,

take another shite and you'd use your sock again. All right. Ryan, we're going to take it right. When we come back, Tom Merritt will be here. We're going to talk some tech. And after that, Brian Donoway returns for an episode of Recommendals. First, a song break, please. Yeah.

Oh, you are going to love this. You know what I tell you, Scott, when there's a particular song in any in the middle that I know you're going to love, very often you text me back and say, oh, man, you were not wrong. This is so good. and I'm going to tell you right now. I have never led me astray on this point. Never.

Yeah, this is Eric Hilton. He is a down-tempo EDM pioneer. And this is a 10-track, a brand-new 10-track album called Lost Dialect. This is so good. This is one of those things that's like, if I could put the whole album on any in the middle, I would because it's awesome. Here is the title track. It's the first song you hear on the album. It's called Lost Dialect.

Here is Eric Hilton. I'm going to go. We're going to be. We're going to be able to be. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Thank you.

Thank you. You know, I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to We're going to be able to be. We're going to be. I'm going to be. So, I'm going to be able to be.

You could win a Comedor Amiga 500 Batman pack, but first you must answer these riddles. demon jaguars The morning stream No, you better don't All right, we have returned That song again, please. That song again is, it's called Lost Dialect.

It's the title track from the new album of Downtempo EDM songs from Eric Hilton. Yeah, just everything about that description sounds like this is me. So I'm in. It's got kind of a 70s, like a retro vintage kind of sound to it. Oh, it's fabulous. Big fan, big fan.

Yeah, fabulous. I like that kind of thing a lot. All right, let's do this, everybody. Hang in there. With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. That man is Tom Merritt. It sounds like he's on the road. Where he at?

Hello? Tom Merritt. I heard for a second. Did you hear it? I heard, I heard room noise. Yeah, it was like a, oh, I'm out with the dog. He's on a different microphone, I think. Yeah, or something. Maybe he's not, he's not sending me video either, which makes me think he's remote, but I don't know. I hadn't heard and I don't have a text, so I'm not sure. Tom Merritt, do you hear us? Tom Merritt. Paging Tom Merritt. Let's see here, Tom, Tom. Hello. Oh, hi, there is. Hello. How are you? I'm experiencing technical difficulties. How are you? It's fine. Look, what better for a tech segment than some technical difficulties? It's my favorite thing. No, look, it happens to the best of us. This morning, I had to restart four times because I have a USB hub that is freaking out.

And I just figured it out after a little trial and air. And now I've got to wait for a new one to get here and it freaking sucks. So I guess welcome to, welcome to Wednesday. Well, yeah, I had Discord decide just not to send audio into my mixer or my mixer decide not to send Discord audio to me. So if you hear a little echo, that's because you're on. on different speakers. Oh, all right. Well, you're on, and you did get a new mixer. How's that treating you? Doing okay? Other than that, you know, you'd think like, oh, you must hate the new mixer. Love the new mixer. It's amazing. And, uh, yeah, it's, uh, it's so easy to use most of the time. Are you doing any kind of, uh, unawares by this? Are you doing any kind of,

uh, post-mortem on that for like, live with it or anything? I know people love it. I might do a live with it, although Sarah's so much better at that stuff than I am. I don't, I'm really bad at taking notes. Yeah, I'm bad about it too. But so I may do it more informally, but yeah, I'll definitely be checking in on it. It's the Roadcaster Pro, not the Roadcaster Pro 2. So it's the older one, which is a little less expensive. And the Roadcaster Pro 2 has some newer features that I'm like,

eh, I don't think that's worth the extra money. So this is a little bit of an older model. But so far, the only thing I don't like about it is when you turn it off, it loses the mute and listen buttons on the individual channels. So each channel allows you to send it to your earphones or not for the master earphone or mute the channel. And so when you turn it off and turn it back on again, it goes back to defaults for all of that, which might be the source of my problem with Discord, but it shouldn't be. So I don't know what's going on.

Well, I'm glad we're part of the experiment. The grand experiment continues. Yeah. I do sort of love that, you know, at the touch of a button, I can do. Oh, yeah. You're like match. Make things scary. Oh, they were clapping, but now they're going to be sad.

Yeah. Oh, that was hilarious. It was coming from the audience the whole time. No, it was never. Oh, geez, man. By the way, I'm looking at this thing. It's so colorful. I like how pretty.

Yeah, yeah. Really lights up a room. It's great. I don't know what, it reminds me of something. Something about those colors. Wow. Well, now we've done it. All right.

Well, that's awesome. Congratulations on your new mixer. It's good to have you here. What are you digging around for this morning outside of that issue for tech news? What's going on? Well, I'm very happy that. Dr. Nikki, some of you may remember her from America's Next Top Podcaster. She's been our science correspondent for more than a year now.

And she is coming on the show to talk about CERN and turning on the new large, or the newly renovated, I should say. The collider itself is not new, but the newly renovated Large Hadron Collider. And the fact that there is also some data from the Large Hadron Collider that found a couple of new particles. And these are not as big as the Higgs boson as far as, you know, shaking up the industry or confirming something. But they are important. And she's going to explain how these two new quarks that they have determined from large Hadron Collider data, the pentacork and the tetrachork, how they fit into discovering more about physics. So we're getting, we're getting elemental on the show today. Yeah, that's a pretty question last night at public.

quiz about the large Hedgeron Collider. We had to name the two countries that it sits underneath. Oh, right. Do you know that? I don't know that. Yeah, it's, it's Switzerland and the Empire of the Mullman. It's a bunch of chud, right? It's all chud. Do you know what, Brian? France. Yeah, we got it. We totally got that one right. I actually, we couldn't remember it was France or the other direction. So that's right. We do, that was the same thing we did. We're like, well, it's definitely Switzerland and I think it's France and they were like what else could it be around and yeah yeah have those old

fears people have had about that thing doing something that just sends the universe causing the end of the world of turning us into a black hole yeah that's just it was something that some very fringe people were saying when it first turned on because we had never done exactly that kind

of thing we'd done super colliders plenty of times before but this was much more energetic and so that gets trotted out every time they turn it back on because it's always more energetic than the last time like this time it actually will create a black hole and it will be right now. Here's the thing about that. The chances

of that happen are an infinitesimally low and if it does happen you'll never know. Wow. That's true because all of us will go at the same time. It's not like France again and early. And it'll happen fast. Yeah. You won't even notice. Yeah. Which is how I mean honestly. Maybe it already happened but because

we're in a simulation they restarted. Right. Yeah. Hey, maybe that's why I lurched out of bed last night. was part of the reboot. It could be. It could very well be. What time was that? That was about 1258. It was actually exactly 1258 mountain time, PM or AM. I woke up around that same time. Tom! We've unboxed the worst unboxing of all time. All right. Well, that's great. I'm looking forward to that. And I love having, I love it when you have experts on, especially on days where I'm on because I sound much smarter when I interact with those people.

So that'll be great. That'll be today at 2 o'clock mountain time. Set your clock by it, everybody, for the daily tech news show, the best tech news show on the planet. Tom, I know you got a new show out. Do you want to tell folks what's going on with that as well so they can find it and sub and all that? Indeed. Yes, it's called A Word with Tom Merritt. You can find it at a wordpodcast.com. It is a talk show. I sit down with an interesting person every week and approach it not from, hey, please explain to me this topic. but we use a word to launch a conversation that talks about how we think about things

and how we think about the world. The first episode out right now is Andrew Heaton from the political orphanage. We talk about tribalism. And the next episode coming out later this week, probably on Friday, I tended to want to drop them on Thursdays, but the first couple are coming out on Fridays.

This week we'll be talking to Dr. David Brodbeck, Professor David Broadbeck of Algoma University and Sue St. Marie about free will. That's our launching off point and the fact that we don't have free will, but that doesn't really matter. And again, we're not going to go into the details of the research about it so much as talk about how Dave thinks about that, knowing what he knows as a psychology professor. You know, does that change how he goes about his everyday life? That sort of thing. Again, if you want that show, if you want me chatting with folks like that, Brian Ibbett,

is coming on the show in about a month. See, sometimes it's not smart people who are guests on the show. I said, interesting, not smart. Oh, that's true. Good point. Good point. Yes. All right. No disrespect to any of my guests. But yeah, Brian and I, we recorded our episode yesterday. And I found out things about Brian's history with podcasting and thoughts about music that I didn't know. Yeah, you got stuff out of me that's never come up.

up in any other discussion. I don't want to say interview because it was a conversation. It was definitely not an interview. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was so fun. So that's coming up in August. We also have Annalie Newitts from The Our Opinions Are Correct podcast. She's an author. We have Lamar Wilson coming up talking about his journey as a creator as he moved from things like YouTube over to things like TikTok. So lots of interesting folks on the docket again. You can get that at a wordpodcast.com. Follow him on Twitter as well. He's at Ace to Tech. There's no reason not to. Tom Merritt, have a fantastic day, and may Discord and your mixer finally make up. Thank you. Bye now. Can't we all just get along? Please, what's the problem? All right. If you didn't have enough done away in your life, you're about to get a little more.

Never have enough done away in my life. I mean, it feels like I can all agree with that. I feel like I agree. I feel like he's the nice topping on my burger or something. welcome back to the program Brian Dunaways he's back everybody you missed him well good news he's back again after about 20 minute hiatus and he's joining us for today's recommendals randy's on vacation Nicole is still in her move process and uh we've got we've got Brian back so welcome back oh hi Scott and Brian fancy meeting you guys here yeah weird weird man weird so here's what we do we talk about streaming things and we make recommendations basically on what we've seen on these services.

We tell you what service, what the thing is, and whether you should watch it or not. Today is no different. We start with Brian Ibbott, who has a clip. Is there any set up for this here clip? This is a TV show. You're definitely going to recognize some voices in here that sadly is canceled,

but that means if you don't want a big long, drawn-out, recommendal if you have to keep up with, then this is the one for you. All right, here we go. Right. Yes. Okay. Okay, so I usually begin by showing a video of a common workplace scenario. A video? Huh. So you don't use my illustrations anymore?

No, we do not. Okay. Oh, hi, Michelle. What's wrong? Someone hung a cartoon in the break room that upset me, Carlos. The one about Asians being good at math? Tell your supervisor. I don't want to be a squeaky wheel. I feel harassed by the acting in these. What kind of business is supposed to be?

The filing system makes zero sense. Hey, Barbara. Did Gunther email you his latest bodybuilding photos? Yes. Again. Those photos make me uncomfortable. I asked him not to send them to me anymore. Aw, what's how my parents met?

And I asked him to stop giving me backrubs. Oh, no. I just got an email that Gunther is taking it off the Suncoast account. That's my biggest account. Susan, Susan, could you pause it for a second? I've already got so many questions. Okay, now, of course, back rubs are inappropriate. But what about side hugs?

Those are okay, right? Because your privates are parallel. Oh, my God. This sounds great. And you're saying it's got canceled because I was really enjoying this show. I haven't watched it lately as Mr. Mayor, right? It is exactly what it is. Mr. Mayor, that's Ted Danson, the unmistakable voice of Ted Benson.

Oh, I always meant to watch this. Okay. Keep going. Well, you can and should. Okay. Yeah. Holly Hunter, you heard a very brief bit from Holly Hunter. Oh, she's deputy mayor.

She's great. She's like Boulder, Colorado personified on this show. I mean, she's the granola, the California granola woman. You've also got Bobby Moynihan, who for me, steals the show. Like his, he, he, is the Tracy Jordan of the show. And there's obviously a very good connection there because Tina Faye is executive producer,

one of the executive producers of the show. It's got a very much, a 30 rock feel to it, very much in that delivery. Just like that, you get Rachel Dratch making appearances because she makes appearances and everything Tina Faye does. It only lasted two seasons. It got canceled just this last May, which bums me out because it's such a,

I think it was, it came around at a time when people weren't ready to discover it or didn't, you know, right. Didn't, they were so focused on streaming that, uh,

something that came out on terrestrial TV probably, uh, there are a few victims of that, I think at that time. It was like, I don't know. That was a hard time to launch some show that wasn't part of all the hype of streaming services.

Sure. For sure. But Ted Danson's great in it. Uh, like I said, Bobby Moynihan's great in it. It's, it's one of those things where you've got to

really good ensemble cast like community or 30 rock parks and recreation you know that sort of thing takes place in los angeles ted densens the brand new mayor he's a a billboard a billboard businessman billboard company owning businessman who takes over as mayor in los angeles and has to kind of clean up after um after pandemics and hornets or uh murder hornets and fires and earthquakes when the current marriage is, I'm done, yeah. All while trying to please his daughter. That's right.

Yeah, she's so angry. He managed to talk about his daughter, who's a major character in this as well. It's really, really good. Mr. Mayor, you can watch it on Hulu. How's the episodes? If you don't have Hulu, it's on freebie. Oh, I bet Brian knows all about that

because he loves everything with commercials. Yeah, he likes the freebies. And if you watch on a freebie, no big deal. you get you get uh two commercials per episode it's it's great yeah but uh i don't understand why amazon has free v and i mdb tv they're the same they're the same effin service they have they they really i didn't know that i don't get it they kind of are a lot of these are being repackaged anyway so i mean yeah but the i mdb is kind of like sometimes that those ads get to be a lot they do and free viz has less but there's but the content's the same like if i want to get yeah i'm trying

a good example like Beanie, Benarney, Benar-N-A-Ben-A-N-A-I-I-I-I can't think of the show. Rockford Files. If I want to watch that, I can watch it on... You can remember the theme song, but not the name. I can remember the name. But I could go watch it on either of those two things. They're both Amazon owned.

They both have commercials. It's weird to me. I don't get it. That is really weird. By the way, so season one is free V, so Amazon Prime has your freebie, or I guess you could just sign up for a free-vie account. Season 2 is on Hulu. Nice.

I haven't, I've watched all of season one. I have not watched the Christmas special or season two yet, but the first season is worth the price of admission just alone. It's so good. Chatroom is screaming, by the way, the IMDB TV is free V TV. And maybe that's, maybe that's good because.

Well, that's what I'm saying. It's just re-branded, yeah. Did they just read? Well, I thought I could, I thought they were still two separate things, no? Maybe I'm losing it. They're not according to the chat room. Not according to the chat room.

That doesn't mean Jack. Shit, as we've learned. I only see, I only see free-vis list. on just watch for Mr. Mayor, so. Okay, yeah. Yeah, 9DB TV is, well, they still have that listed separately on here. I don't freaking know.

I don't get it. Whatever. Amazon, pick your poison. Let's get this time. Yeah. All right, here is my recommendation for the week. This is a thing on Paramount Plus. And I'm happy to report.

It's exactly what I wanted. Here, I'll play it. Then you guys will figure it out. I watched a show called Touched by an Angel. And it made me think. When I look at these two boys today, I don't see their failure. I see our failure. He said touched.

You boys like explosions, don't you? Gosh, wonder what that could be. Is people's the butthead doing the universe, perhaps? Neil Armstrong. Hey, let me play my clamp, you weird. I'm sorry. Sorry. Uh, yeah.

And fire. Yeah. Well, you know who else liked explosions? Neil Armstrong And the only difference between him and you is he had the benefit of supportive families and teachers. Families. You know what Neil Armstrong did?

Did he score? He was the first man on the moon. All right. You are correct. Sorry, there was a long pause after he did the whole... I thought it was done. Yeah, it probably looked like it was done. But no, it's Beavis and Butthead do the universe.

They're long, long-awaited follow-up to Beavis and Butthead to America. Gigantic, I'm a gigantic fan of all things Beavis and Budhead and was from day one when I first saw them on an episode of Liquid Television. In fact, I think I saw him out of Spike and Ike's traveling. Cartoon Festival. Cartoon festival, yeah, because it was before it got picked up by Liquid. And when they did, it was such a hit on there that they, you know, MTV made a deal with Mike Judge and they made a whole show about it. And I loved all of it. That stuff's all, by the way, that plus the other movie, plus this new one,

are all over there on Paramount Plus if you want to go get it. Here's the thing, though, like, I know it's stupid. It's colossally stupid. That's the fun of it. And I'm so glad it exists because it's where we get Mike Judge and his brilliance from. And he goes on to do many great things, including King of the Hill and animation, which he's also returning to you later this year, I think, or next year. But, you know, all his movies and, you know, TV shows and amazing work that he's done.

So on that level, I appreciate it. But also just purely because it's so freaking dumb and such a staple of my 90s memories that I just can't get enough of it. So when I heard they were a new movie, I got totally stoked about it and said, I'm going to watch this. And then I got busy and wasn't able to catch it. It's been out for, I think, a couple of weeks. So finally, last night sat down, Kim and I watched it together.

And even she liked it, which is rare for this sort of thing. anyway they totally nail it as if they never stopped it's the same exact tone it's the same kind of jokes it's the same um ridiculous ideas and concepts you know a little bit modernized for hey they've been thrown into the basically it's a time travel story where they um because something that happens in 1998 they get thrown into the into 2022 and they've never seen cell phones before they've you know so you have a lot of jokes about that stuff um but And it's hard. It's just as dumb and whatever as do America or the show it was or any of that stuff. And I couldn't get enough of it. Here's the other thing that jumps out at me. Voice work dead on still. So Mike Judge still doing these voices hasn't changed a bit. Animation looks like it was torn right out of the 90s. There's nothing about it that's too shiny or too, you know, to computer polished or any of that. They don't do any of that. It's like still kind of shitty looking detention. stoner kid drawn on his desk looking art and it's better for it i had a great time if you like

bevis and budhead you'll love this if you don't what if you don't like bevis and butthead at all is this something that uh i would enjoy scott no if you do not if you don't like bevis and butthead at all i'm gonna say don't watch this because kidding i'm hearketing back to a question about 3d printers uh last week oh yeah that was a good one yeah that was a good one yeah but yeah like it's a good time and um dumb and real good so watch it it's on paramount plus beavis and budhead do the universe and a bunch of great voice actors like uh uh tignitaro plays a college professor that's very good um they have a couple of other was that did you already say that was that jordan peel's voice that i was hearing oh i don't actually know who plays that judge that's a

good question i meant to look it up like right after and i didn't but um i look at I looked up while I was watching the Tignitaro part, that's where I was like, why is that voice familiar? It was driving me crazy. I looked it up at her. The guy who plays this government agent out to get aliens or something, played by the stapler.

Yeah, I'm going to need that stater. That guy came his name. Gary Cole. Gary Cole. He's in it. Right. So a whole bunch of great voices and stuff.

But really, you know, once again, this all comes down to just beavers and butthead being stupid. And it's great. So check it out. Paramount Plus. Streaming now.

And all the beavis and butthead stuff you ever could want is all right there. All right. Brian, down away, I got yours lined up. Do you want to set this up at all? Should I just play it? What do you want?

Sure. This series, which is on Hulu, I thought it was going to be canceled because during the pandemic, we didn't see any new episodes for almost, I think, two years. But Hulu came in and saved the show, in my opinion. And I think it's better than ever. Hulu's doing that a lot lately, I've noticed.

It seemed to be picking up stuff. It's rad and making it happen. So let's find out what this is. Come in. I think I already know. Hey, welcome back. I think we might have already had this recommend. Yeah, well, if you spend doing with my parents, you want to come back to work too.

You have a restful trip at least. Yeah, you know, for the most part. How are your mom and dad? My mom's good. My dad's also good. He's his usual self. Work hard, play hard. I think the fleet's the only thing keeping him from pursuing a full-time career as an alcoholic.

But if the uniform's on, we can handle it. Sounds relaxing. Compared to the trip back? Yeah. I put my report in your file. Report. You're on vacation. I picked up the residue of a Klan quantum signature out by the Avior system.

It was pretty faint, so my guess is they're long gone. But anything near this sector is concerning. What the hell will they be doing out here? No idea. But I thought the captain should know. I'll make them aware. Permission to return to duty. Go to it.

It's good to have you back. I haven't got it yet? Oh, we got it? I thought you usually give us a long clip because you want the whole thing. Yeah, we know what it is. But here's the thing. I think I just got myself spoiled and it's not your fault. But I think I thought a character was gone because that's how far I am into the season or the series.

And I think that was her. She's back. Am I wrong to assume this? I can answer that question. Yeah, I think you should just, yeah, you should wait for that. It's so it is the Orville New Horizons. So it's season three of the Orville. It's got a name change now and also a network change.

It went from the Fox and is now on Hulu. And instead of having to do the 12 episodes per season with 42 minutes, very stuff tightly packed in, they're on Hulu now so they can make the stories at the length they want within reason. A little over an hour on a few episodes. and they've really upped the game because before it was mostly just a comedy that was set in space but now it feels more dramatic

you get all these great scenes of you know CGI of ships and it's just it really feels like his foundest way so Seth McFarland's The Orville New Horizons It's so good man I'm glad you brought actually brought it up because it was recommended years of years ago on the show, but we haven't really revisited it. And part of the ongoing conversation here on the show is why hasn't Scott watched the damn thing? Because it's right up his alley. And I kept

putting it off, putting it off. And I just, I don't know, I just never got around to it. And also because there was such a long break between season two and three. Yeah. I just thought, well, am I ever going to see this thing? Like, is it even going to go on? Do I want to invest in this thing that everybody was raving about? And so Kim and I finally started watching it. And man, completely freaking hooked on this thing. Love it. Yeah. So good. Love it. It's the most Star Trek-ass thing ever. I love it. Yeah.

It is so good because it's dealing with something that we really need to talk about right now, which is all these, you know, all these social things that are going on, which Star Trek and all those have always been so good at dealing with social issues in a way that didn't feel like they were, you know, hitting your head with it. And so this is kind of picking that up, and I really love it. They dedicated the first episode of this season to Norm MacDonald because he was a character, voice only. no not only there was an episode where he was in a bar remember that it was like a holodeck bar and he was walking around in there and he had stretchy arms it was great right I miss norm so much it's really great man I'll tell you it's like yeah the how do I put this I know okay so some

people have commented on this and I'm actually now that I'm binging it I'm not actually seeing it so I wonder what you guys would say to this now that I'm into season two uh everyone says oh well as the show starts, it starts out real joky, very Seth McFarland jockey, and as the show goes on, it gets less so. I don't actually feel that. I feel like it still has a sense of humor. I feel like it still has its, like, leaving this conversation with these two women, they're referring to things like alcoholism and my dad's an idiot. And, you know, like it's not, it's like an overt in your face fart jokes. I don't mean that. But it's still like this lighthearted sort of, hey, we're just people kind of approach, which is what I think I love about it. So I'm not feeling like

this. Everyone's like, oh, yeah, season two, I'm so far in three. Totally different show. Totally. I don't think it is. I think it's still just good. There's still comedy there, but it's kind of like how the office was the first season. It's like they wrote in a whole bunch of jokes that were just you know, but-a-bub-ch, there's the joke. Whereas they kind of depend on the characters

now to kind of, you know, naturally bring the humor. So the humor is still there. It's just a little more subdued. And you kind of had to find it yourself instead of them punching you in the face with it but it's still there yeah it's uh it's great i'm glad you brought it up because i'm currently enamored with it and um it's so good loving it great great uh suggestion yeah i know randy also did it and i think i might have done season once got talked about it last week yeah but whatever it deserves to be it deserves

to be and look i'm not just trying to get south macfarlane to retweet me again i actually really like it so uh but no for real it's like a real it's a it feels special in a way that I didn't expect. You guys have been telling to me this for years. I didn't pay attention. I was wrong. We're in an interesting time

with unique Star Trek type of shows. So it's got animated stuff going on. We've got, you know, strange the world I hear is fantastic. Yeah.

Yeah. And so this fits right in with all this stuff. I'm very glad they're finding different ways to explore that kind of. You know what I think also is going on with people where they think the show is getting more serious and less, you know, lighthearted or whatever. I think part of it

is because you grow to love these characters. And that just makes it automatically more serious when there's a harrowing situation. You're like, oh my gosh, freaking Seth McFarland is in a suit that's supposed to protect him from the, from the hideous amounts of, what do you call it, gravity. Radiation. Yeah, gravity on that planet. He's going to get crushed. Like, why do I, would that have been a big deal in the first episode? Well, know because I don't know him yet, but now I actually give a shit about Mercer and I give a shit about these other ancillary characters. And I think Isaac is one of the greatest like data likes ever. Oh, yeah. And their whole thing where the, where his, I don't want to give anything

away, but that, that amazing couple parter where the, the, the, his, his home race rebel or, you know, got pissed and was going to wipe everybody out, kind of borg style. Man, not since TNG, if I felt this enamored with like science fiction. It's so good. It's the most to me, it's the most related to TNG out of all the Star Trek series, that's what Orville feels like, a natural progression. Even though I know it's not in the same universe, I know it's not the same, blah, blah, blah, but it still feels

like it. Oh, yeah. I'm surprised I don't get sued, to be honest. There's so much in there that's like, if they had teleporters, which they don't, they take shuttles everywhere. But if they had teleporters, I'd straight up think that Paramount would, like, at some point, you're just like, okay, that's enough. You've done, you've taken everything.

Across the line. Anyway, it's really, really good. love it, and I'm glad you brought it to our attention once again. Hey, Dunaway, that was awesome. You should do this more when we don't have our regulars. Oh, really? Yeah. And I do it more. I won't as likely backtrack everything's already done. So perfect. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, no problem. It's all good. Hey, Brian Dunaway, everybody, he's the Brian Dunaway on Twitter and follow him every night where he streams a lot of these retro games. He and I talk about him play retro. Like, tonight, what are you doing? Oh, tonight. I'm going to play

a little bit of Mega Man. Oh, Megan. I'm going to play it. Oh, my. NES classic. Oh, nice. I think Mega Man 1 is on there. And I might roll into the Super NES classic as well. We'll have to see how much time we have. Does part of that game take place in the Wade-O-Womb? Yes, it does.

The Dr. Wiley stuff is going to be part of that conversation for sure. My favorite thing or my least favorite thing about Mega Man is they remade the Super Nintendo first Mega Man game. They remade it on the PlayStation 1. and it is hot garbage. Really? Hot garbage. So we'll talk about all that next week.

And you can watch Brian stream that tonight over at Brian Dunaway on Twitch. Hey, Brian Dunaway, kiss our butts. Oh, you. Okay, bye. He's out. That's the end of that. All right. Final note before we leave, a quick email from, not really that quick, but a good one, from Sean,

aka adhesive wombat, who wanted to set the record straight on Dacarees. Yes. Now, you know who this is, right? This is... This is one of our A&P Shons. Oh, it's Sean. The other one of the... This is Sean the bartender. So he, if there's anybody who can chime in on Dacqueries, it's Sean Whalen, the bartender. I always forget Adhese of Wombat was one of the Shons in the season.

Yeah. I don't know why I do that. I don't mix... For some reason, your chat names and then I see you in real life. I don't... Happens to me up. Yeah. Fs me up every time.

Oh, you're not... Hold on a second at Hease of Wombat. You're not the... Sean from okay well see now I'm confused I totally thought adhesive wombat because it's the same spelling of Sean so I thought he was the bartender that's amazing all right but point made like these are hard to keep your name straight we don't know uh well adhesive wombat do you want to be on do you want to be yeah do you want to be on there all right here it is hey fellas we'll have a good track record with Sean's but no Sean's welcome to try anyway go ahead

please sorry on Wednesday's TMS y'all spoke briefly on what makes a daquery and I felt compelled to chime in today you'll often find these fruity sugar laden slushies in touristy beachside bars. Unfortunately, these are bastardized versions of what was once the most elegant and quintessential cocktails in the world. A true daquery is a shaken drink that contains only three simple ingredients. Rum, sugar, and lime. The drink has its origins in the British maritime tradition of the daily rum ration.

When an officer on deck would give the order to splice the main brace. I love this. Slice the main brace. Spice the main brace. and the sailors would be given their daily allotment of rum. Sailors would often mix their rum with sugar and limes because of scurvy, of course, in order to make the rum more palatable. In time, this drink was refined into the daffery

in which the ingredients were shaken and traditionally served up in coop glasses. I don't know what that means. Do you know what that means? I don't know what that is. No, a coop glass. They don't have a hard top or what? They're available. Right, exactly.

Two doors. Yeah, no highball glasses. I know the little short ones. Oh, Coup glass is like, it's almost like a martina glass, but it's curved, a curved bottom. Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. I can picture it now.

It says, additionally, when you think of rum, the first thing that comes to your mind likely is something like Bacardi or Captain Morgan. However, these represent the very worst of rum, and some cases aren't even rum at all. Rum can achieve just as much depth and character as the best bourbons and whiskeys. There are a wide variety of rums from all over the world, and all of them will be unique depending on the place of origin. I like how this guy talks. Distillation method in aging. A rum from Jamaica will be distinctly different from a rum originating from the Barbados area or Martinique.

Martinique, I think is how you said it. Yeah, you said it perfectly. If you find this interesting, I'd suggest reading, quote, a bottle of rum, unquote, authored by Wayne Curtis, which details the history of the Caribbean and sugar trade and rum. I will now leave you with the recipe for a proper daughery. Here you go. Everybody write this down.

three-fourth ounce fresh lime juice so you don't get the scurvy yeah one half ounce rich simple syrup sugar and water there you go two ounce lightly aged rum i recommend plantation three star or appleton signature that's what he says and all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker add cracked or ice cube shake and then double strain into a chilled coop which is the glass you talked about earlier. I love the show, though, Sean. So that's, uh, not only, okay, can I just, I just want to real quick here. Yeah. Commend his writing style. I wish more emails sounded like Sean's. He's a really good communicator. It's very well written. Yes, exactly. I wish more news articles that we used, have written as good as I saw a tweet from you a couple days ago about the way

some of your emails are formatted and written. Oh, they're so bad. Some of them I don't even, I still don't know what that one on Twitter was about. I don't know what he was telling me. I'm sure he meant good, what meant well, I don't know. So first of all, Sean, sorry I confused you with Sean Wayland. I saw Sean that spelling, and I remembered Sean with that same spelling was from A&TP, was a bartender, so I thought, oh, well, it has to be, there can't be two Shons who spell it that way who both know about alcohol. It's impossible that there'd be more than one of you. So my apologies for getting you confuse with the other shan but sure this is super cool

I love this history of it and is is a plantation three star a dark rum or a silver like a clear rum and do you say should a dachry always be clear rum oh interesting as I always get spiced

I always get crackin spiced rum is my my go to or Captain Morgan's so is spiced rum literally spicy can you taste like a It is, yeah. It's got, it's darker. It's aged in a, in a barrel and has, like, a little sweetness to it. Nice. Okay. Plantation is a white rum. Okay. Interesting. White rum meaning clear. Is that what they mean? Yeah. Because none of it's ever.

Oh, Appleton's signature is dark rum, though. Okay. So you could do, you could do dark rum in a daquery. Oh, okay. Interesting. All right. Well, I learned something today. I hope you all did as well, including this one of many shons. Well done, everybody.

ought to leave with a song in our hearts. What do you got for us? Well, let's get one out to Tess. She says, hi, Scott and Brian. I've been a listener since 2013 or so when Scott hit a dude's junk with his earbuds. And though I've never managed to catch a show live or join the chat, you guys have always been with me through a lot. I've loved, I've lost, I've started and ended a career. I've come out as transgender and moved halfway across the country. I'm behind on episodes as of writing this, but I'm rapidly catching up at 1.5 speed.

Whop speed, Mr. Data. I should be all caught up by my birthday on July 7th, and I'd love to hear you guys play a cover of or by the Sisters of Mercy. Failing that any other old goth nonsense will work too. Something love the show, though. Keep it up. Thank you guys so much, signed

Tess. That's awesome. Congratulations. So glad to we could be there for you for all those things in your life. So very cool. And I hope we get to see you at a TMS Vegas. If you've moved halfway across the country, hopefully you've moved closer to a TMS Vegas or some other event. It would be great.

That would be good. Boy, I get to tell you, the plaza, by the way, they've been doing so, or they're planning on doing so much. It's going to be a whole new plaza by the time we get out there in 2023. I'm excited for that. Lots of stuff in the front. They'll have that new entertainment space. What was that called? They had a name for it.

Yeah, the Sand Dollar is open, and it's been doing well. It opened over Memorial Day weekend. And then we've got, they're opening a carousel bar in the front. They're expanding Oscars. They're going to have an outdoor patio space in the front now where we can have our, like, receptions and stuff like that. It can be super, super cool. That sounds great. I'm excited to hear that.

Very cool. And they were so nice last time because people were amazing last time to work with. They were. They're so good. and Bernadette takes such good care of us. She doesn't listen to the show, so, you know, a mention of her name doesn't do anything, but she's awesome.

And I'm planning on hopefully having a drink with her when I go out there at the end of this month or at the beginning of September. Nice. Okay. All right. Let's get to this. Sisters of Mercy, great goth band. Let's get to a cover of probably one of their most famous songs.

This is by another band that had a really big popularity in the 80s. The Information Society. In 2016, they came out with a cover album that I helped kickstart on, well, on Kickstarter, called Orders of Magnitude. This is their cover of Dominion by Sisters of Mercy, going out to Tess. the night in the heat of the day when I close my eyes, when I look your way,

when I meet the fear, the lies inside, when I hear you say, in the heat of the moment, say, say, say, Someday, someday, someday, someday, dominion, come a time. In the line on the fact, on the long and level, stand and stretch far away, In the heat of action, in the settled dust, hold, hold, sway, in the meeting of mind, down in the streets of shame, in the bedding of names on gold to rust, in the land of the blind be king, king, king, king, someday, someday, someday, someday, someday, turning Dominion.
