You dare bring light to my there? You must die. The MorningStream. This little piggy is going to market. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS.

It's the morning stream from Monday, February 13th, 2020. I'm Scott Johnson, and that guy right there is Brian Ibbett. Who are you calling that guy? Yeah, I'm that guy. Yeah, I'm that guy. Like in many situations, I am that guy. Oh, I see. See, I didn't know that.

I'll remember that next time. Brian, yeah, he's that guy. That guy. I like frequently begin my sentences with, I don't want to be that guy. No, no, no, no. Well, I'm glad you're that guy today because that means we're here and doing a show. And we're excited about that. Thank you all for being here.

Hope you had a nice weekend. And some of you, I know, probably watch the Super Bowl. It's the most watched TV thing of the year. And we've got to figure a few of you sat down and watched the Eagles, have a wonderful game with Kansas City and then lose at the very last second due to reasons that might be controversial. But anyway, it was a really good game, like the game itself. You know what?

I like, that's a, you can say whatever you want about the game, but the fact that it was close, it wasn't a blowout. Yeah. It was exciting right up until the very end. We have, of course, you know, there's always the controversial, um, ref calls and stuff like that. But, uh, yeah,

no, it's, uh, um, it was fun. It was fun. It was a good time. Yeah. Well, I got a decent, decent ads. I mean, yeah, I've, I've given up on good ads. I don't think they exist anymore. I don't think they're trying that hard. There's a couple of them like, oh, that's creative and cool. But the days of like nonstop, they're all good. That's gone.

Yeah. Long gone. Yeah. Exactly. And some of the best ads really were just trailers for movies that I'm excited. to see. I was going to say that full trail, which they didn't even show the full trailers of either the

Flash or the of Guardians which annoyed me. I guess that's just too expensive to run a whole two and a half minute thing, but

the, I went immediately and watched them on YouTube and they were both they both look great. Yeah. You know what? I think that Flash movie

is going to be their pivot point. As controversial as it's been and all the trouble with, Ezra. I forgot their name. Ezra?

Ezra. Uh-huh. uh despite all that it just feels like they're going to have a moment here their own kind of like a multiverse like little moment and uh i think so and everybody you know multiverse is multiverse is big right now it's popular it's going to be the uh the word of the year in the uh 2024 webster's english dictionary uh announcement but yeah no it's it's it's it's a smart thing to to kind of lead us into the the james gun D.C. future. Yeah.

This is like a flashpoint. Literally. Flashpoint. Yeah. Literally flashpoint. I'm excited about that. And then I think Guardians looks great. I can tell they're going to make me sad. So something's going to be sad. There can be a couple of sad things. One of them, I think,

is obvious because Dave Batista's been out in front of this whole idea that he's done. But the other one is I just feel like Rocket Raccoons in trouble. I got to save him. What's going on, man? I know. I know. Feels like, the characters that will continue, could continue in the Marvel universe outside of the end of the Guardians trilogy. It feels like Rocket is the easiest one, right? Because it's like,

all right, we just pull Cooper, Bradley Cooper into a booth, record some voice, and then create this little 3D character to run around with the Avengers. Same with Groot. Just keep paying those guys to voice them. Yeah. Maybe that, they'll be the spinoff. The rest of those guys can die off. That's fine yeah we don't know those and spoilers we don't know we don't know what's going yeah exactly Batista might just uh you know he might say I'm done quill with with doing this yeah gets in a ship flies away

that is what I've been missed the most at the end of the Guardian's trilogy is uh Drex's laugh it's one of the best things of those movies pretty great well anyway that was a thing so here's a story though about the Super Bowl that the government doesn't want you to know oh all right good deal not true it's just a stupid story which one of the players had classified documents in their locker all is the answer all of them all of them yes uh so we're watching the game we're having

a great time we're over my daughter's house she threw a little uh shindig we had uh smoked steaks they were fantastic so good Dylan Dylan killed it with the food it was so good nice um Kim made uh shrimp she got this like fresh full bodied shrimp with the eyes and the intent and everything yeah like Basically shell on shrimp. Yeah, the whole deal. And it was great. We were having a good time playing with the kids. Tell me she deep fried them because that's the only way that I'll ever eat the heads and the tails is if they're fully deep fried.

They were not. They were Cajun boiled, but she peeled them for everybody ahead of eating them. But it was a little dark. It was like taking full heads off of things and eyeballs are laying everywhere. It was pretty weird. But anyway, you know, we just got a little closer to the origin of the food we enjoy. And sometimes that's important to do that. It reminds you what you're doing.

It reminds you, yeah. Everyone needs to slaughter a cow. They deserve to die because they're so damn tasty. Everybody should cut off the head of a chicken or kill a cow once just so you know what you're doing. Because it's a lot more than you think it is. But anyway. I'll go see if any of the local farms will let me do that. Hey, can I kill one of your cows, please?

Yeah, please right now. I'm waiting for clear to explode. Give me a bolt gun like Anton's Sugar and just, you know, let me go to town. Flip a coin. see if you survive the day Right So anyway We're watching the game

Everything's great And we are now at the point Where the game Was tied at 27 I think 26 maybe Can't remember I can't remember I think it was 27

Because they all hit Their extra points And it was I don't know Seven minutes left In the quarter Or something like that And we get this text

From a neighbor And the neighbor text Kim and says Hey We went over to your house to give you guys a thing just to say hi but you weren't there and the people there said you'd moved and Kim's like the people there said we moved what people there there's nobody yeah no kidding everybody's with us this is a current neighbor this is somebody back from Eagle

Mountain days no this is just a living neighbor like a block behind us like yeah and they know where we live and so Kim's like yeah we're we didn't move she goes where so the text was like we're so sad we didn't even hear about it where did you guys end up and we're like nowhere my daughters were coming home soon and she goes oh well we went up to the door and you know they're telling this all story so i immediately see kim doing this and i grab my phone i'm checking all the cameras i'm like yeah what's going on and then i panic because the garage camera is on it's working no problem okay all right the basement camera working on no problem the living room slash kitchen camera and the front porch camera both down oh geez

So I'm like, oh no, they've disabled the security. They've turned off ring and they've, yeah. I was freaking out. Like, I was like, they have, somebody has gone in there. They're in my house right now. Take them all my stuff and they've turned off the cameras that matter. That's what I was sure of. So I look at Kim and I go, uh, we probably ought to go home.

How far is home from Taylor's house? It's about 20 minutes. So I was kind of, yeah, not too bad. But I'm kind of like chomping at the bit. But I'm also, you know, the game's really good. And I'm like, I don't really want to leave. But we're having fun with the kids. Somebody might be in my house apparently telling neighbors that we don't live there anymore.

Yeah, yeah. So I was really like, I was sure we were going to get home and find the place ransacked. So we drive home. Yeah. And everything looks normal on the outside, but we're all being real cautious and, like, open the door slow. And it's like, what's going on in here? It was nothing. Nobody had been there.

So what happened to the cable, one of them got knocked out or one of the cameras that I the living room got knocked out by by a vacuum accident and the front camera just wasn't for some reason just didn't connect i don't know why i got to find out what the hell happened there but it wasn't anything nefarious nothing taken nobody in doors were all locked nothing nothing had happened so we call that neighbor yeah and we said we're really confused so before we like call the cops or do anything more about this can you tell us exactly what happened here's what she did she pulled up to our house or what she thought was our house in the dark and I think it was our house because there were cars out in front their neighbor cars and she probably had to park kind of between two houses ours and the neighbors and they sent their I think he's 15 now 15 year old son who's kind of a goofball I love the kid but he's a goofball yeah and I think he ran up to the porch next to ours and they and he said this is for oh are the p you know I don't know how he asked but basically said all those people moved which is true They just moved in. Okay.

All right. He just went to the damn wrong house and talked to neighbors about a thing. And we tried to get a hold of those neighbors, but they weren't answering. They're probably busy with their own Super Bowl business. Sure. Loud and nobody checks phones or whatever. So at the end of the day, and I'm frantically, because I don't have a way to stream the game. I don't have regular TV.

And so I'm missing the last thing. And last I checked says, oh, there's 54 seconds left. They're tied at 36 or 5 or over. I was like, oh, my gosh. A word, what's the score? And she'd say, the current score of the Super Bowl is a burp-p-p-p-p-purp. So I miss the whole, all of that last-minute drama. I miss it all because we think there's like invaders.

And there were none. Yeah. There were none. It was just this kid. You know who else missed the last few seconds of the game? The ref, they called Hold. No, I'm kidding. Because there was a very controversial, controversial play.

But here's what's really cool about. Well, you know what? Let's wrap up your story. and they'll come back. Oh, I'm all done. That's it. That's how it ended. It was just stupid and I was irritated. So I would never trust that neighbor again with anything they ever say. No. I'm going to say, look, you leave whatever you have at the door. If it's my house, well, great. If it's someone else's, them's the brakes. I don't know what else to tell you. But I was so annoyed because the whole night I thought, I thought we were about to have the worst

possible scenario. And like, you know, all my computer crap would be gone or all the, you know, and the cops would be too slow to get here on time or something. I just was sure this was all going to be bad. And it turned out to be Zip Nothing Nata because the kid doesn't know the difference between left and freaking right. Anyway, he's a good kid, though. I don't want to besmirch him too hard. He's a nice, I like him. He's a real good kid. His name is Eli, is a sweet kid.

But gosh, dang it. Make sure you got the right house, dude. I've lived here 10 years. Anyway. Yeah. So what were you going to say? Sorry. Well, no, so one of the last plays of the game that caused a bunch of controversy was a call against the Eagles that gave the,

Kansas City Chiefs an extra like basically gave them a new first down down near the end zone that that you know could have had some effect probably not though because they still could have easily kicked the field goal that they were planning on kicking anyway instead of having a touchdown.

But you know it obviously at the time very controversial I got to say the Bradbury who James Bradbury who's the the player that had the holding call put against him went on Twitter or when during some interview said, yeah, it was holding.

I grabbed the guy's jersey. It was definitely holding. Oh, yeah, you totally admitted it. That's right. Yeah. Even though the, you know, from the view of some of the cameras, it didn't, it didn't look like holding. It looked like he, he patted, not patted, but had his hand on the guy's jersey,

but didn't actually grab it. Yeah. But I get to say, it's, it's refreshing, honorable, every positive adjective you can think of for a player to say. Yeah, I know, you know, it might cost our team the Super Bowl win, but it was definitely holding and, you know, let the controversy end there. Yeah, it's unusual, right? You don't hear that very often. No, no.

From a player. So, yeah, I respect that. He's so easy for him to double down and just say, oh, yeah, no, it's definitely not holding. They got it wrong. We could have won the game. Did you know that the Mahomes real name, real name, birth name is actually my houses? Oh, I didn't know that. It's just been slangified.

Yeah, it just changed it to Mahomes because it sounded cooler, a little more street and, yeah, worked out well. That guy, he has no control over his tongue. Like, every time the camera was on him, he's like, ah, I can't think he's going to lose it. Like, if you don't put a, I guess he has a guard in there always. No kidding. Yes. You're running around. And even there were shots of him during a couple of his runs where he decided not to pass or hand off the ball.

And he's running. And you get a close-up of his face, and he's not, he doesn't have the guard in his mouth. and it's like if he's if he has his tongue out he's gonna jump the front of that thing off i know i felt like his mother i felt like i was all worried about him the whole game it's like buddy put that in there and he's like younger than nick which is just too weird to think about yeah this young little phenom freaking millionaire with his tongue out you're not going to look you might be a millionaire you might have a great career ahead of you but you don't want to lose your tongue yeah keep that in there buddy put that mouth guard in there you weirdo and i will say

the Rihanna halftime show was simple, was not overblown as far as stage trickery and stuff like that. She had the moving Mario platforms, which was a lot of fun. Yeah, those are cool. Look like a... A little Gubaz dancing around on them that she could have stomped on for

points. It looked like a level of Super Smash Bros. for sure. I kind of did, yeah. And yeah, we all were watching that going on. No, she just had a baby, but was like five months ago why is she pregnant again sure enough yeah she's pregnant again and also we were we were saying the same thing and taylor's looking it up on her phone and she goes oh she had that baby last may and i'm like oh okay well then oh it's even more than five months ago geez yeah that's what we we thought it was like recent and it wasn't it was like a year

ago yeah so now she's got her second on the way and i don't know that's pretty pretty good to be dancing around i think she's the first isn't she the first pregnant person to perform at the Super Bowl? It's a weird thing to have. Might be. Yeah, or at least the first one to know. Yeah. Something like that. We don't know for sure about Left Shark, but we think that Rihanna might be the first. Yeah, Left Shark was, there was things left better unsaid. Yeah. I think Left Shark just had a little bit of belly fat.

The deal was there. Yeah, I liked it. It was good. It was, uh, it was, it was all fine. commercials were done. She did all the songs that I wanted her to do and for the right length of each. Yeah, there you go. There you go. I'm done. with only girl in the world. All right, move on to this one. Oh, yeah, all right. Umbrella? Yeah, that's enough umbrella.

How about diamonds in the sky? Okay, cool. Give me like a one verse of umbrella. I don't need all the Ella's for in the next 20 minutes. Right, yeah, just 30% less Ella's would be fine. I guess I was surprised that she didn't do SOS since I think that was her first. Was that her big hit? First big hit or breakout.

Yeah. She's, uh, I like her confidence. I'll say that. Yeah. Something about her. I don't care what anyone says. I got this kind of face that she has. I like that a lot.

Well, anyway, I'm sure someone had a problem with it. She was wearing red. She must be the devil. What else? All those little white guys running around. Oh, yeah. No, it did look like a Chinese wedding up there, or a Chinese funeral. I can't remember.

Is it a Chinese funeral with a red and the white? I don't know. It looked like they were all about to go to sanctuary because they all turned 25 or something. Yeah, it was something. Wedding is red. Wedding, okay, thanks. Prince is still the, for my money, Prince was still the best half-time show I ever saw. No doubt. 100%.

I don't know, I don't know how you best that. You know, you want to get the Who out and show me his belly again? Do it. That's up to you, NFL. You let me know how that goes. All right. Real quick, I got to play a thing. Okay.

This is a thing I heard on social media. Oh, sure. That's the best media is social. It really is. This was a streamer who was streaming to her fans. and she's streaming. I remember they used to ban channels for this. I guess they don't anymore,

but she was streaming in a bikini. Fine, whatever. Don't care. But it's more what she said that I had a problem with. So I'm going to play this. And we'll talk about it on the other end. So here you go. Can I just say one thing?

If you're a man and you use the frowny crying face, you're gay. Like, I've always felt like that. Like men aren't supposed to really feel like sad. Like, back in the war days, you used to have to kill people. Why the fuck are you sad? Back in the war days.

Like in the war days. Oh, geez. Yeah. I just couldn't let it pass without airing it here like a dirty socks so that it's out of my life. Yeah. Yeah. It was horrible. I hated it.

I hate it. And look, I am not one normally to just say, oh, there's a stranger that rubs me wrong. I will now bring them up and ridicule them. But that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard anybody say in my life, all of them. it. If you use a frowny face, you're gay. You're gay. The crying frowny face. Yeah. And as if that's, I mean, that's obviously already a misplaced thing to say. But also this idea that men can be emotional. Back in the war days, you'd kill people. Back in the war days. I know. I love that. Back in the war days. Boy, I hope she eventually teaches a history class at the local community college or something.

I don't know if you're paying attention to the news, bikini streamer, but there's still war is going on yeah i don't think she is um she is um uh she oh and she was mad at i didn't record at all but her she's mad at her chat room because they want her to play a game or do something and she's just yelling at them all the time and saying and this she'd say well sure she'd say well i don't want to play a game and then they would do a frowny face and then she went on this rant about frowny faces means you're gay and that you used to fight in the war so what's wrong with men or something So her Twitch stream was just, oh, jeez, just her sending a bikini

yelling at her chat room, basically. Yeah, so I was wondering, Brian, do we need to make a pivot? Do we need to sit in our bikinis and yell at this chat room of ours? Should we do that? Clearly, yeah. I mean, clearly we need to go full, you know, full angry comedian,

calling people hockey puck, all that sort of thing. Like, we need to be insult comics. Let's do it. I'm in. Yeah. I'm all in on this. Hope your kink is getting, uh, de me in chat room, because that's, that's what tomorrow's show is going to be. Happy Valentine's Day.

It's going to be full time. I remember our, our mutual friend Kyle Ferguson and his wife got banned for a month for, uh, for doing a summer event where they just wore just normal looking swimsuits. It was just like, hey, it's summertime. They're doing it for Heroes of the Storm because Heroes of the Storm had a summer event. Yeah. And all the skins were like, you know, guys and big. tubes and some of the skins were you know just swimsuits or whatever so they had this whole thing where they streamed in these swimsuits and they got banned for a month i don't get i think it's honestly

i think it all comes down to oh do you have a million followers and they're and they're making us money here we won't ban that channel but if you're just like a small little upstart and you have a cute little idea that's not meant to be sexual or stupid oh i don't get it man that's see that that sucks that totally sucks although kyle did not wear a bikini i should make that clear I still have the mankini that That the folks bought for me Maybe I have to bring that to Vegas Bring it, wear it

Be it, Brian, live it Put it on, pull it tight Let it be Listen, as much as you think You want to see it because it'll be funny That it's funny for like the split second Before you realize that it's something you can never unsee Yeah

Yeah, I don't know what I would do with that data in my head i would probably just like right exactly like it's a good thing you know the only positive thing i can think of for me if i brought that in war it is that wendy would be right there to offer a therapy services to everyone involved yeah that managed to see it immediate trauma therapy they would she would be there for yeah she'd have to be that it'd make her so much money maybe i need to talk to her and maybe we we work out a deal about uh that's the that's the business plan is Brian will shock them and horrify them and then she'll immediately help them with their problems that they just saw. Exactly. It's like the, yeah, right. It's the snake oil salesman who's got

the shill in the audience who's like, wait a minute. I've got gout. Let me try some of that. Oh, it worked on my gout. I love it. That's how money used to get made, man. That's how it is still made. You just have more elaborate trickery now. That's all. Yes, exactly. All right. One final thing. Brian's got a Lyft Story, and I have this clip. Be courteous and obey traffic regulation. Tell me what happened. The good news is, there's a quick one because we got Babel Royale to get to, but Wednesday afternoon, I was picked up a woman in Boulder, and frequently in my rides, they'll sit in the back

seat, and they'll either already be on a phone call, and they'll just continue the phone call on the car. I don't care. It's your ride. Do whatever you want. Some people actually apologize, like, oh, I'm sorry, was on the phone from us, and I'm like, I don't care, it's your ride. I say it nicer than that.

I don't say whatever man I don't care It's like hey it's your ride Do whatever you want it's totally fine But so you can't help but hear one side of the conversation And really wonder what's going on What's being said in the other side of the conversation It must be fun to try to build that context in your head in real time It absolutely is like you're thinking

Oh who are they talking to a girlfriend or boyfriend or boyfriend or a boss Or a parent or a child or something like that So, and often if they've already got AirPods in, I won't hear the phone rings. So they'll answer a call while they're in the car, and I'll have no idea that they'll start talking and that it's not to me. In this case, I kind of suspected because basically we're driving, listen to some Royksop music or Royksop music, because that's my current jam in the car. Is that a band? It's a band. It's like a Swedish house electronic band.

They did some work with Robin, Robin with a Y. That sounds like my kind of thing. I'll check this out. I don't know who I've never heard of them. You would love Roik-S-O-K-S-O-P-P. Writing it now. Writing it down now. This is a Swedish thing?

I think Swedish, yeah. Okay. Something Scandinavian European. Anyway. All right. On my list. I will check it after. Especially look for the songs that feature, what's her name?

Suzanne Sond-Four, I think. Okay. It's like a collab, a feat. A collab. A lot of good collabs. Anyway, so driving along, she apparently answered the phone because all of a sudden I hear, what? Okay. And then I'm thinking, all right, well, wait, let me see if she says something else, but chances are she's not talking to me. She's on the phone. Right.

What? What? Oh, really? Well, what makes you think you have syphilis? Oh, shit. Oh, man. She's giving you a lot more to work with than most. She's given me a lot to work with.

And unfortunately, the conversation never revealed anything. It was a lot more of, uh, what? What? Like a lot of that. Just more of that. Not like, I was even hoping for just, oh, well, that doesn't mean you have syphilis. You might just have a cold or something like that. You know, like, I was waiting for some sort of payoff.

but I never got it Wow Yeah So you never got like a confirmed syphilis No confirmed syphilis No confirmed syphilis And I'm kind of They're part of me wanted when she

When I did hear that she said goodbye and got off the phone Pardon me wanted to say So do they have syphilis? But I didn't want to do that Because I never want to imply that I'm eavesdropping Or over you know I'm listening on what they say Even when I have two people in the back of the car and they're talking to each other,

I will, even though I can't help but hear what they're saying to each other, I will, on the steering wheel, this is really dumb that I do this, I will beat out the beat of the music with my fingers to make it look like I'm really into what I'm listening to. I see. Okay. Yeah. I've seen other drivers do that. I wonder if this is a trick you're all doing.

Everybody does. I don't know. It's not something that I picked up from any sort of thing. Or, you know, is it effective? Like if you say, you know, no, I just had to kill the guy because, you know, he got my way. And here's me going, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, exactly. I know what song you're listening to. You know what song you're listening to.

Anyway, so, there you go. That's great. So no confirmation of syphilis, that's a shame. No confirmation. The, the syphilis was neither confirmed nor denied. and, uh, but, of course, I did, uh, I did, uh, Purell the, the whole car after she got a, just in case. Thank goodness. Uh, I hear you can get that from a toilet seat and the backseat of the key assault. Maybe the guy on the other line said sniffles. I have the sniffles and she just

thought it was syphilis. Yeah, but it also made me wonder like, all right, was it, was it a, you know, a boyfriend? Was it like a one-night stand that she hooked up? That said, by the way, think I've got syphilis. Yeah. That plot thickens if you think about it. It really does. Thickens and solidifies and oozes a little bit. Hey, let's move on.

Gets a biopsy, has a test done, all those things. That's right. Exactly. Speaking of getting test done and having biopsies. We are with us, Mr. Brian Dunaway, joining us as he does every Monday and Wednesday for a little of the Tad Pooley Feud and Morning Half Asces. Today is the latter. And it's good to have you here. Brian, welcome.

Oh, hi, Scott. Brian. We're doing a lot with the ladder? Yeah, you're the ladder man, and I like to think of you as the ladder. Yeah, hold the ladder. Just be careful.

Does that make you, Jacob? It makes us Jacob. Have somebody hold the base of it while you get on it, but yes, we're going to do the goal. What's your take on the top step of the ladder? The one that says, do not step on this step?

No, no, no. The one right before then, where you actually only have, like, your shins capable of leaning against. I mean, not the very top one that says, Right, but where you've got the only means of support you have is about four inches above your ankle pressed against this little piece of plastic. I don't want to be that high up is the answer.

I don't want to get that high. I feel safe as long as the ladder is still touching the top part of my knees. If it goes beyond that, that one extra step, mm-mm, closer. Yeah, you need the knee. Yeah, that's a good way. That's a good call, actually. Anything higher than that, you got the wrong ladder or the wrong person on the ladder. Right. And I refuse. And I refuse. We've got a little A-frame ladder that is our go-to ladder, but we also have an extendable that's a little hard to get out.

Yeah. It's harder to get out of the garage, but we have one. If I need to go on the roof for any reason, or the roof, depending on the roof, when I say it, roof or roof. Sure. I cannot, even though the A-frame goes high enough that I can step off of, step off of it onto the roof, I absolutely. require that a chunk of ladder be extended onto the roof for me to be able to climb down. I'm so not going to, I'm so not going to angle

my foot down off the roof and hope that the ladder is right under where I'm going to step. We're all like cats. We're all like all ready to go up the tree. But as soon as it's having to come down the tree, it's like, mm-mm. Yep, exactly. Yeah, and unlike cats, we're not going to land on our feet or have relatively no

damage. Oh, if you're landing on your feet, I don't know if that'll be good or bad. bad. No, you look like my home's limping off the freaking the field. I almost said court. That was dumb.

Well, anyway, it's time for this game. We're going to play it. It's going to be great. Brian, explain it and who might win prizes today. I will do both of those things. Welcome to the morning half asses, a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving the two of you the answers because I'm a nice guy.

How easy. I'm a nice guy. I'm going to give Scott and Brian a category and six possible answers, three of which are correct for that category. Three, are flat-out fibs. Depending on how confident you feel with the category, you can provide one, two, or three guesses,

but if any of those guesses are wrong, you get zero points for that round. Get one right, of course you get a point. Get two right, gets the three points, and get all three correct. You will get five points. The player with the most points after three rounds wins the prize for their contestant.

And I've pulled a couple contestants from our tadpole, folks that aren't able to be here live, but are wanting to play nonetheless. Scott, you're going to be playing for Jared in Omaha, Nebraska. Brian, you're going to be playing for James Keeney in Federal Heights, Colorado. Oh, hi, James Keeney. Yes, local, local James Keeney. I don't know if I've ever seen James at a Tadpool, TMS, Denver Tadpool event,

but we got one coming up this Saturday. We're all going to go see Ed, man. That's right. Kang the Conqueror. A little Mexican food and a little quantum man. Before or after, what's order are you doing that? The Mexican food will be first. The movie will be second.

This is a recipe for farts. A recipe for farts. Listen, King and Modok won't be the only weird noises you hear in that film. Did you hear how he just shrunk down? He's like a balloon deflating. Let's get to your question. A couple of these are submitted by listeners just like you. Just like Jeff Sire, who wrote in about Canadian towns with weird names.

I'm going to give you six names, which of these are actual real Canadian towns. All right. Your choices are Shitterton, Dildo, Vulcan, Swastika, Nowhere Else, and Bastardo. Oh, my Lord. Three of these are right. Leave them are real. Shitterton, Dildo. Vulcan, swastika, nowhere else, and Bastardo.

All right. I'm going with a complete guess with two. I'm not in three. You both locked in with two. Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right.

Both of you chose Dildo. Yeah, Dildo is a city in, uh, in, where is it? It is in Newfoundland. And by the way, Jimmy Kimmel is the official mayor, I believe, of Dildo. That was a whole thing that, that he did on his show. So, yes, Dildo is correct. Brian, you went with Shitterton. Scott, you went with swastika.

Yeah. The answers are, Dildo, Swastika, and Vulcan. Dildo is, as I said, Newfoundland, Swastika is in Ontario. Vulcan is in Alberta. But those other three aren't made up. Shitterton is in the U.K., nowhere else is in Tasmania. And Bastardo, you can probably guess from the name is in Italy. Oh, yeah, of course.

Freaking Italians. Swastika. imagine being in the swastika town council they're just like nope not changing it nope not this year not this year nope they're just gonna keep going forever wasn't the swastika a positive symbol before sort of if you face the if you face the cups the other way then it is a uh indigenous people of north america symbol for the four positions of the big dipper in the sky yeah and there's some other similar like ancient stuff but but yeah I got ruined. It's ruined. All right?

The swastika is no longer. I don't think anybody's there going, well, it used to be this thing. And I think they just need to hug that thing. Six billion people. You got to remember, I live in South Carolina, so I always hear this argument. Right. Six million people dead. They should get rid of it. Not about the swastika, but other imagery. It just seems weird. Like, writing that on an address. Like, here's beer envelope. What's it say? Oh, it's swastika.

Swastika. We're not changing it. All right. We didn't do it. I'm sending this to Murray Goldberg and swastika. Yep. Perfect. All right. I feel good about my three points and zero points for Brian. That feels good. You should. Yes, you should. Well, let's see how you do with question number two. This one came in from Badger Lord. Badger Lord says that while it's not nearly as popular as Pokemon,

Digimon still has a bit of a following and still has new games and TV shows being made for it. Who knew? There are a massive amount of Digimon, even more so than there are Pokemon. Which three of the following are Digimon? Your choices. are puncho man lampman bookman rugman cake man and houseman give me some kick i'm gonna need you to read those in rostafarian case cake man houseman i love john houseman in the white shadow uh lampman bookman ruggman and cake mom john houseman he's the he's the guy that used to say we earn it or whatever right yes exactly yeah love that guy all right i'm picking two i have no i've known I did. Digimon and I are not

friends. I have no idea. So I hope these are right. Brian has not picked any yet. He's still. That's because they're all stupid. They are stupid. You're not wrong. Why do I have to Google and I'm not selecting any? I can't just not look at them and go, these all sound wrong. Yeah. They're all bad.

They're all bad. All right. You guys are both locked in. Lampmon is indeed a Digimon character, as is Ponchoman. However, your other two choices Because B.coma and Cakemon are not. So the real three are Ponchoman, Lampmon, and Housemon. All right. So, okay.

What's the purpose of even Google searching if I can't get the right answer? That's right. Right, exactly. You need to be better at Google, Brian. My big complaint about Digimon was always those stupid, because I can only look at it from an art perspective. I don't play the game. Their stupid hair designs are so bad in Digimon. Yeah, next time you see a Digimon cover or like anything, any of those characters.

I hate their hair. It just looks like spaghetti. I like it because it makes for easy 3D printing. Yeah, I guess so. It's very hard-edged. Do you 3D print a lot of Digimon, Brian? All the time, man. Starting tonight.

He just doesn't know the names. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, I'm going to print me a house, man. All right, let's get to number three. This one did not come from a listener. This came from me. And by golly, I love this one. Cities where the largest newspaper is,

called the sun. So it's the, you know, the sun is the name of their newspaper. Is it San Bernardino, Baltimore, Toledo, Vancouver, Tampa, or Las Vegas. Three of those have a big newspaper called the Sun. It feels like bait. It feels like bait. So the largest news, not a big newspaper, but the largest newspaper. It's just to be safe. Just in case a little newsletter out there is called the Sun, we don't want somebody writing in and saying, well, actually There is a son in blue, blue, blah, blah. Yeah. Okay.

All right, there we go. I'm only sure of one of these. I clicked on those quickly so that Ibit wouldn't think I'm Googling something. I never think you're Googling. Yeah, I never do either. I know you are. It's hard to Google from my phone anyway while I'm doing this. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, exactly. All right. Well, let's see, Baltimore, very famously the sun, as a matter of fact, the real Chris Brown, my buddy Chris Brown, who held a Eagles, uh, uh, uh, watch party, Super Bowl watch party. Oh. Yeah. Uh, yesterday.

He actually worked, I believe, for a short time at, uh, the Baltimore sun and actually said when he would, uh, introduce himself, he was brown from the sun. Oh, brown. Hi, I'm brown for the sun. Do you have any comment on the, uh, thing? Is this the same paper they've showcased in the final season of the wire? I don't remember it was the sun or not, maybe? I don't know.

Seems like it would be, right? Yeah, it's definitely Baltimore, but I can't remember the paper. Anyway. Let's see. You both chose Toledo. Toledo's big paper is the blade, which means to bluff. Damn it. And Tampa's, I believe, is the Tampa Tribune or the, what do they put?

Oh, come on, Vancouver. You don't have no son up there. But, yeah, San Bernardino, Baltimore, and Vancouver all have a prominent newspaper called the Sun, Las Vegas. Of course, as we all know, is the review journal. Right. isn't there i always thought phoenix had the son but that's their basketball team right i'm mixing that up you're mixing what up the phoenix i thought phoenix had a basketball team yeah it's the phoenix basketball team is the sons but they don't have a they don't have a paper called the sun but they don't have like a

newsletter they don't even have a newsletter probably scot or a newspaper for sure they probably do it's the and the big newspaper in phoenix is the arizona republic oh duh i knew that actually knew that i knew that too until well i forgot it until you said it shit sorry Sorry, well, but that means, Scott, with three points, you are our winner. And it means congratulations to Jared in Omaha, Nebraska. Jared, you're getting a copy of Where the Water Taste Like Wine and Blade Assault. Kind of appropriate. It's not Toledo Blade Assault, just plain Blade Assault.

Blade Assault. But James, in Federal Heights, you're also getting Super Magbot. Nice. As a game. So congratulations to that. This is one of the few days where I've played none of the above. don't know about any of these games, but I'm sure they're good. I have a good feeling about all of them. Congratulations. You're a winner. Well done, guys. And Brian Dunaway, well done for you, sir.

Well, well, thank you. I zipped it again. Yeah. Because I bow to the pressure of Ibit shaming me because I'm trying to make choices. Yeah, of course. Of course you are. No, you were great. And of course. I'll tell you this right now. Every time I've ever played any game with Ibit, This has always been tough for me. Ibitt always lies, and I always believe them. It never fails. Every lie you tell, it feels like I believe. Like a little strategic lie during the game?

Like, what do you mean? Yeah. No, I mean like this, the morning half asses, like the questions that you're going to have, it's like, oh, yeah, that looks like something that's correct. Oh, I always put something that you lie good for me. And those, these I don't write like these, you know, full disclosure, I do get these. from a game that Ken Jennings. Ken Jennings wrote, no.

No, this one came from a Ken Jennings book, a game. But when I, like, when I did the All-Stars games and at Nurtacular and things like that, yeah, I'd always like, if it was multiple choice, I would throw some things in there that, gosh, that feels like it should be true. So I'm going to totally do that. No, those are all in. Every time we do our little, what do you guys call your monthly meetup thing, did you all day for the pay dates? Play-Ditch, huh? Yeah, the play date. Every time I play with Ibit on the play date on something jackbox where he gets to, like, fool me with something.

You're like fibbage or whatever, yeah. It's right there in the name of the game. So I have a apology to make to the Digimon community. I think I'm thinking of a different game with the hair. What am I thinking of with that cardboard jaggy hair? It's not Digimon. Oh, I mean, there's plenty of them when they do that. But I mean, you're probably thinking of.

Is there? Are you really worried about it? emails Yu-Gi-Oh. Oh, dude, you'd be surprised. These people are hardcore. But Yu-Gi-O is what I'm thinking of. Sorry, Digimon people.

I'm sorry. It's Yu-Gi-O-I'm thinking of. And Yu-Gi-O-Hare sucks. Anyway, done away. Tomorrow, you and I'll be doing Play Retro. That's right. A video game podcast, all about the old video games of the past.

Why don't you share with the fine people at home what we're talking about this week? Absolutely. This week, we're playing some game gear games. We wanted to see what the sake. a game gear was all about. I owned one. I think Scott owned one as well. Someone is sending me one just

busted up. But we're going to talk about I went with exclusive games to game gear because I thought that was interesting. Scott may have played some other game gear games. We'll have to find out. It's going to be just the biggest surprise to me as it is to Scott. A bunch of game gear though. I have some fun. I gave my

game gear. I donated it to Karen at the university for her game museum. Her video Oh, very nice. I'm supposed to do that with a... That's excellent. I'm supposed to do that with that mooncresting machine I have here,

but it's just such a pain to move. It's easier to get a game gear up there, I guess. But, yeah, they have a whole... The university's games department have that whole, that whole space up there is full of the stuff. So Brian's game gear is there. Nolan Bushnell's original Pong prototype is up there. Oh, my gosh, that's so cool.

Yeah, really cool stuff. And I guess, um, uh, Bowser, Doug Bowser, the current president of Nintendo of America is there behind glass? Yeah, they keep him there. He lives there. He's got to be careful, because if you bunk him on the head three times, he dies. Yeah, that's true. He's an alumni from the U, so he does. He loves it there, and he'll always show up and bring something and let them have it in the museum and stuff. Did either of you have the TV tuner from the game gear?

I did. It worked like shit. It was garbage. It was bad. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it was that single antenna thing, but I didn't know this. You could plug in, like, through RCA. You could plug in like your Genesis into it. I did not know that. Oh, really? You can play your Genesis games on the game gear? Yeah. That's kind of cool, actually.

I had whatever game it came with, which I think was a Sonic, was a version, it was a Sonic game. And then I had the X-Men, uh, Age of Apocalypse, I think it was. It was the only game that I can remember X-Men a game that actually had Siloac in it. Wow. Oh, yeah, yeah. The one I played it, the one I played had Siloac in it. It was just, it was this titled X-Men. And it was for the game gear exclusive.

Yeah. And it was pretty fun. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the game gear also, you had to have, you basically had to own stock and energizer because the batteries were. That's so true. So stupid.

Unless you found the rechargeable batteries, which we talked a little bit about this past week. Yeah, that's true. You could give a rechargeable battery. Yeah, you can do. Or you can plug it in in the car with the ACDC adapter. Yeah, or the bathroom. Like, was it Toby McGuire? Supply?

Oh, Toby. McGuire. Wait, who is in the... Oh, no, no, no, no. You're talking about Ethan Suppley? Ethan Suppley did it. You're right. It's an Ethan Suppley commercial, and he's outside somehow, and he's just with batteries.

Really? Yeah. And then what's his name? Who's the first Spider-Man, 99? Tommy McGuire is in the bathroom playing... Technically, Nicholas Hammond. What is it? What am I trying to think of?

The Atari Links, that's his commercial. Oh, really? Yeah, that's funny. All those guys are in these old ads. and they're all kids. It's weird. Anyway, that'll be tomorrow night. Play retro wherever you get your podcast. Go check it out.

Brian Dunaway, kiss our butts, and have a fantastic day. Oh, thank you. Bye. In that order. In that order is right. All right. In this order, we are going to take a break. But this break is brought to you by somebody, Brian.

Who is it brought to us by? Oh, this break is brought to you by our friends at That Story Show podcast. They're sponsoring a comedy story contest where you can win 50 bucks every week. that's really cool visit thatstory show.com that's that story show dot com and submit your real life story today very nice all right on the other end you have a funny story you could win 50 bucks yeah and that's nothing wrong with free money i like that yeah nothing wrong at all with that this is me stalling while i pull up the information about the song oh yeah you should do that brian's gonna play a song because on the other end of this uh little stick here uh dan dan the tabletop man joining us today uh stephen's out sick he's got a real bad case of the flu He's got the croupy, is what I hear. Got the croopy, and he's not feeling well. So his fever broke today, so that's good. But anyway, Dan will be here.

We got a question for Dan from a listener, as well as an app slapy after that with me and Brian. So anyone out there hates apps, boy, this is a great time to duck out after Dan. I have not seen Stephanie in the chat room, so we're safe. Okay, we're good. Woo! All right, good deal. Brian, let's do that song, and we'll go from there. You bet.

This is a brand new digital single from a band called Good Night, Texas. These guys are great. Kind of a bluegrassy folk rock kind of thing in there. They're currently on tour. They just opened for Lark and Poe. I love Larkin'Poe. Last Saturday, a couple days ago in Los Angeles. But tomorrow night, Scott, they're performing in Salt Lake City.

So if you like this song, you and all the other Salt Lake Denizens can go check out, Good Night, Texas. This is a brand new single they've released. Love this song, by the way. Give it it. Listen to it. Let it wash all over you. It's called to hurry things along. There are mornings where I try to wake up with my head held high,

but I suppose I'm not so strong. And there are mornings where I let myself an extra cigarette I do to hurry things along. There is monotony in this, pretending there are purposes behind the things that don't belong. They say that time's a precious thing. You've got to fight, you've got to sing. I guess I think that they are wrong. There is no order to this list There is no hint or even just

There is no reason to explain There is no outcome that is planned There is no super guiding hand There is no way to stop this train One time she came to me in tears A voice an octave from my ears And writ her death inside a song Well now I dream of her at night

I see she's dressed in angel white I smoke to hurry things along Time is always treading There is no use in hiding from its song Life is long and lonesome So I smoke the very things alone Nothing's organized by

Nothing's organized by type Fruit was picked before I tried to keep it all from rod I tried to make it what it's not But it's a game of zero-sum That always leaves you feeling dumb Picking pieces from a floor You are locked inside a door

I tried to wrap it in my mind And even leave it all behind It seems the best ones always go Before they get the chance to find That time is always treading There is no use in hiding from its song. Death, it may be random. But I smoke to hurry things along.

Yeah, I smoke to hurry things along. There are mornings where I try to wake up with my head held high, but I suppose I'm not so strong. There are mornings where I let myself another cigarette I do to hurry things along. I do to hurry things along I do to hurry things along I do to hurry things along I hear you whispering

planning on stealing something No ma'am we're not Plan on murdering me in my sleep What? No I'm not here to make a record you dumb cracker The Morning Stream Ungrateful bitch Wow

I have no context for that one Brian Tell me again who that was So I can remember That's the band Goodnight Texas And a brand new single That they just released

Go check him out on tour That's Good Night Texas With the song to hurry things along. Nice. I like it. It's really good. Really, really good.

That's great. I wouldn't mind seeing somebody around here. A little tour here in Salt Lake City. Yeah. Why not, right? Why not? Why not? Why the hell not, I say.

All right, Dan, Dan, the Tabletop Man joining us shortly. If I can pull him up here, hold on a second. Geek Jock, Dan. There he is. All right, we'll bring him in. We'll let it rip. We'll have our fun. And we'll see you.

he ever wants to come back again. Here's a tangent for him. Be careful. May cause drowsiness. That guy who will never cause me drowsiness is Dan Dan on the tabletop man joining us. He does about once a month right here on a Monday. Welcome back, Dan.

It's nice to have you. Greetings programs. Hey. Hello. How are you guys? I hope everybody has recovered from their hangover. Yeah. Well, not you, Johnson.

I don't know if you had a few while watching this game. I had quite a few. Well, not quite a few. I had two, I nursed them through the entire game, two bourbon and gingers with lime, and I guess that's what, a Kentucky mule or a southern mule, something like that. They were very tasty, and because I nursed them while I watched everybody else pounding down drinks, I feel fine today. Good. I only had a couple, but it's, you know, getting old, and I only drink them, you know,

I only have a couple on the weekends here and there. There were just some nights where he just like, my God, I had like three beers. I feel like I drank everything. No, I feel like I ate everything. We had Fritos with this really good Philadelphia cream cheese and sausage and rotel chili dip. I made an orange Genoa sponge with a salted caramel cream filling and a chocolate mirror glaze top. Yeah. Were you the nerd at this event?

Those cheese dips, cheese chili dips are amazing. They are, by the way, full disclosure. I'm going to confess to something that I was not plenty on confessing to, but I feel like I need to come clean. Do it. I forgot to take the parchment paper off of the top layer when I put the cake together. So I know, as we're eating it, I know, Paul Hollywood would have laughed me out of the tent. But basically just meant, you know, all right, when you get your slice, you just pulled a piece of paper right out of the middle. And it's totally fine.

Everybody said it was a fantastic cake and, uh, yeah, so did they eat, wait, did they eat the? No, nobody ate any paper. Okay. Basically, when I cut the first slice, I'm like, oh, crud, I took the first slice out. I'm like, oh, crap, I think there's paper, like the parchment papers in here. And it's funny because I remember taking the parchment paper off of, off of the bottom layer when I started assembling the cake. And whatever, whatever was going through my mind, maybe it was muscle relax. or Moloxicam or something.

It's a side effect. Definitely the ones that did that. I was going to say, yeah, because myoxicam probably wouldn't make me forget to take paper off a cake. No. Yeah. No, your muscle relaxers probably what made you a little spacey that day. For sure. You know, all the people that don't like their stuff mixing, you know, or touching, their food's touching.

Yeah. See, there's a little paper divider. Yeah. Exactly. It's like, oh, I just want to eat the cake with the mirror glaze top. And then I want to have a separate piece of cake. with the salted cream that salted caramel cream and uh yeah anyway it was it was intentional still look at it been always thinking of everybody else you know

just trying not to offend anybody or try not to make anybody uncomfortable at all so so I went out of my way with the parchment paper exactly yeah some people it's like you've ever seen paper but yeah no this this show is nothing if not a place for for us to be frank and honest and and come clean about our our mistakes and so I'm going to. I like to spill all my dirty business here. That's why I'd like to do it. I spent most of the game just looking at the score with the, allegedly, not any admitting of gambling, but allegedly looking at the numbers to see who's next up in a space. Yeah, and a squares. That was more fun to do than to care about the game yesterday. But yeah,

we just sat there watching them. All right, who's got this number and this number? Yeah, exactly. They're like, oh, well, if nobody scores for the next 10 minutes, then you guys will win your square. Certainly. Yeah. Did anybody in this circle win any money in the game? Did anybody have anything down on that? I lost $10 on Draft Kings betting on the Eagles,

but I won that back playing stupid $1 bets with Crazy Neighbor who wanted to bet on things like coin toss, and what will this drive end with, like a punt or a touchdown, et cetera. Wow. So I made that money back. All those crazy proffets? Yes. Crazy proffets are great.

Yeah. Yeah, I think Janice won a square, you know, for the first quarter and then nothing else where nobody, I didn't win anything. If the Eagles would have won by three, you know, would have kicked the field goal at the end instead of Kansas City, then I would have cashed in quite a bit. But it wasn't enough to let me root for anything out of Philly. Yeah. Oh, man, that's it's spoken by a true New Yorker. Wow. That's right. Fair enough.

Wow, that's fantastic. All right, well, it's good to have you here. By the way, so sometimes we get questions and stuff from you guys for Dan because Dan kind of like two-pronged approach. He comes on here and talks about sometimes biotech and what's going on because he's in a pharmacist. He's like a licensed fancy dude in that world. But then he'll talk about board games.

Well, today's no different, but today's question for Dan is in the pharmaceutical zone. And he asked this question, which I thought was, I was actually not even sure Dan could answer it. But he told me he would. So here it is. This is from somebody named Telly. uh probably a bald guy who does a lot of cop work i have no idea tell he loves you baby who loves it baby and it has the lollipop as we speak exactly yeah oh yeah by the way four people uh know that reference in our chat they're all they're all they're all 60 years old or older yeah they're all

they're all opening a urp envelopes this morning if you got that reference you have low back pain yeah oh yeah um it says david you're so right they say question for dan wondering what he would say is the most well we'll do this in two parts. What he would say is the most dangerous prescription drug on the market today. And he goes on to say, and if not, maybe the one that is the best one on the market right now. But let's start with most dangerous. What do you think? Well, let me actually handle the other one because it's easier because you can't read it's, there's been so many advances in technology and medications. So, I mean, obviously the easy

answer for the best medications on the market are things like cancer and chemo meds, because you have people that, you know, most meds are life-saving meds when you use the right way. You know, cancer, chemo, insulin and diabetes meds, there's been advancements in MS, sickle cell, you know, anti-rejection meds, after you get a transplant, hepatitis meds. I mean, you name it, disease altering or disease curing, I'm curing in quotation marks, because, you know, who the hell knows, you know, getting rid of things is great. So helping to cure people and let them live their lives is probably the easiest answer.

There's no real magic. There's something usually comes as a consequence on almost anything you take. But to elongate someone's life and cure cancer is, you know, again, and diabetes is probably more people are probably cured or helped to along. No one would say cured. You can't cure diabetes, but you're elongating their life because of it.

Right. So, the easy way, there are no, there are a lot of meds. See, there's different types of pharmacists and doctors out there. And I say this a lot where there are people that want you to be on all the meds or people that want you to be on none of the meds. And obviously, a good doctor or pharmacist wants you to have the best life with that

as little meds as possible, because when you're putting stuff in your body, it's a lot of the stuff is poison. I mean, there are drugs out there that are poison, like warfarin, for example, or cumin, which is rat poison, is really good at helping people. It's a blood thinner. So people that are post-knee replacement or a-fib with their heart, you need these things to save your life, but they really are just rat poison. Soie, can I go to the Home Depot, get rat poison?

It'll do the same damn thing, or is it a different? No, I mean, you can't ingest it. Concentration. Yeah. Well, actually, you could probably still die from it with the concentration, but it's not really going to be adjustable because you'll probably die from some of the other ingredients that are in there. But to me, the worst drugs are more or less the way they are used. Now, even opioids, everybody, probably the easy answer is opioids. But no, there is plenty of use for that for opioids this world.

Again, going back to cancer pain, people with chronic, you know, chronic pain or just post-surgical pain. I mean, years ago, when I had a hernia operation, you know, I needed to take a percocet or two and sleep it off. Let your body rest so that the body could heal. And then you never take it again. That's the great way to use things like opioids. And that's the way you should be using them. But they're overprescribed. Like when you're overusing things, you know, this is my opinion, not Scott O'Brien's.

The worst drugs are the ones that are used the wrong way by doctors. Like they're just using it and they're not enabling their patients to do the things. Perfect example, things like ADHD and adults. Everybody's like, I got ADHD, I can't concentrate at work. Work sucks. Yes, work sucks. That's why they pay you to do it. So here, take these pills because we'll just assume you have ADA kind of.

Yes, and that's the way. And also, work suck a little bit less now. And now one of the biggest things that I see used more than anything, especially every day. So I do prioritization. So I get to read a lot of chart notes and I look at a lot of medication history every single day for hours on end. The biggest thing now, drugs, they're called GLP,

ones they're injecting meds you see them uh i think we talked about it a few weeks ago like ozempic is one of them bayetta is another one and uh and a lot of these drugs are used now uh are mainly for weight loss they're basically they're diabetes meds but they're not insulin they just work in other ways uh they help with your your gastric emptying and help to you know also to help with your uh your blood sugar but they're not you know your overall blood sugar and help get a1c down but they do have some side effects but now people are just using them just for weight loss Now, great. If you're going to use that for weight loss, and they do work for weight loss, and they work generally immediately, and then you're not going to really, you know, you're over time, it's not going to work as well anymore for the weight loss. You still need that diet and exercise. But what problem is that doctors are just given us to anybody, whether you're 18, whether you're 37, whether you have a problem losing weight, or you're just overweight. Everybody says the same thing. I don't have enough time to work out. Bullshit. Everybody has time. You just have to make the time. Yeah. Even I say, oh, time sucks. Yeah, but if I make the time, which everybody has time, you can do these things. You can get out there. You can stretch. You can do yoga. You can work. You can walk. You can work out with weights. You can run. You can do something. And your diet. Everybody says, I've used diet and I says, no, but you really didn't. You think you did. You think you did. You really didn't. Yeah. You just sort of touch you. Again, I'm generalizing the world so people don't save your emails. I know. I'm generalizing the world. But I'm just say that the vast majority of the things that, that

that annoy me as far as bad drugs are just bad, or, you know, or parents. Oh, my kid's acting out in school. Oh, he has to need ADHD meds. No, how about you get them off the devices when they're home and you spend some time with the kids? So they have an outlet for some of this exercise so that they can actually, you know, play with them, let them go outside and play. And then they'll be able to concentrate later because, you know, they're a little more tired from running around. They got their homework done.

You paid them some attention. Yeah, I think about half of your listeners just tuned out because I just went there. I'm sorry. You know what the best part of this is? I have to at least share this because I sent this to him yesterday and I said, are you okay answering these? You know, they can be hot point issues.

And he says, answer to me, he says, oh, I can do this and be super PC about it. Don't worry about it. Well, he's been very PC. I did see that. No, I don't care. I love it.

I like the honesty, man. Like, it's the truth. I can tell you from my own experience. Like, you know, I know, I know where I'm screwing up. And it's because I'm like, oh, it kind of worked out. But did I really? I don't know. but I ate that pizza.

Yeah, but I justify it because I said it was a cheat day. You know, like, we do this stuff all the time to ourselves. And everybody wants quick-fix stuff. They want a book that'll solve a forum or they want an injection once a day that takes care of it. And I've seen kids that have benefited from ADHD met. So that, that, ADHD and children is a lot more truthful than it is in adults. Don't fall for all these damn commercials that you've seen about all these studies and crap. It's, it's, it's, it's hocus, it's more.

that's big pharma trying to get more freaking money out of to make more drugs so that you can sell them to people because everybody thinks they have energy problems or ADHD problems. But I have seen some miracles worked in kids when, and generally what happens is you use them for a few years and then you just

really don't, the kids don't really know, they don't need them anymore. Nobody needs stuff from 10 until they're 50 for the rest of their lives. That's bogus when it comes to ADHD. There's no freaking way that you need it from there. Your body just changes at 18 and things just change. Okay, I'm sorry.

All right, no. I wasn't PC. I'm sorry, John. It's all right. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. It was a good time to hear an opinion. A hardcore opinion, boom, there it is.

It sounds like there might be a little, you know, a little anger out of having to shell out 500 bucks for a Marvel United multiverse. Yeah. Did you back that one, by the way? No, no, no. I have a couple of friends, and I think I mentioned this in the past, like when you've got a few friends that have the same addiction, as you. It's really good because then you don't have to buy some things and you can just play theirs. You just coordinate with them and say, all right, which one of us

is getting this? You good. Absolutely. It's hilarious. It's like, hey, any of you guys back in this? And somebody would be like, yeah, I am. I'm like, awesome. Can't wait to play it. Yeah. Yeah, I'm excited to have... I'm excited to have another 150 little plastic mini figs that can get in line behind

the however many I have still yet to paint. A big, long paint. A big, long painting queue is what it is. Do you have and I'm behind us, so this is kind of advertised for you too, Brian. Do you have a space on a Discord where you put up all the pictures in one specific space or you just kind of throw them in there

when they're done? I don't. I really should. I actually should. I think we've got, we had in the the Frog Pants Discord a mini painting, did we? Or, God, am I. I don't remember. Maybe it was just a other games or something. Yeah, it was like other

games, desktop, board games. and I was putting them there and I need to just go back to printing or I mean painting and putting those up there. Yeah, I'd love seeing that stuff. So more of that, please. I need to paint more to be able to do that.

That's the trick, right? That's my goal for this week. Yeah, you've got to be able to paint. I also heard Frost Haven arrived. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So, Brian, did you back that one too? I did not, no.

Oh, okay. That's one that I'll totally let my friends back, and if they deem me worthy enough to play a six-month campaign of Frost Haven, then I'll play it. Man, it's so good. I got to play it. I've only had one session of Frost Haven under my belt already, and it's so good. You just want to play it so much more. And I actually have, confession here, I actually have two copies, but the second copy was because I designed a couple of scenarios for it, so I got a designer copy for designing a couple scenarios in it. So I'm like, That one's sitting in a corner.

It's unopened and I'm like, oh, do I want to play that one solo? Do I just want to open it up and play it myself and play a couple of characters, run through this? I'm like, I'm holding back because I may donate it to, if I do my charity event this year, I may donate to there because that'll bring in a lot of money for people, you know,

buying raffles for that, but, but man, Frost Haven's so, so sneaking good. Yeah, I can't hear really good things about it. Someone in the chat said there's arrived and reminded me that that was all, that's happening. So that's cool. So I do have, I have two top five lists that I could run through real quick. I have the top five of last year for Scott and top five

and top five for Brian. So I have games of the year for you guys now. Between the top five on major spoilers, I did my game of the year on there as well and on the Geek All Stars is my top 11 because everything is better when it goes to 11, as we know. I did that. If you've listened to either one or both at our show, you kind of know some of the games that will be coming up. So who should I do first? And I'll go through a pretty good. Let's do mine first because it's probably got easier instructions, is my guess.

Little thin booklets. Yeah, and actually one of them's a little more complicated, but I really think Scott would absolutely love it. So, number five is Title Blades Banner Festival. This is kind of a newer game. It's got some simultaneous action selection with a little bit kind of, it's almost trick-taky, but not really trick-taky.

It's more simultaneous action selection. And it's all about your, it's kind of a fantasy universe where you're doing a race with like C-Dus or a jet ski race around there. It's really cool theme. It's a banner festival about that really cool, real fun game. That's number five. Number four, Soul Forge, this is kind of a CCG that came out. It was on

Kickstarter. This is by the same people that made Ascension and they, if you remember years ago, there was Soul Forge that was just it's kind of a lane combat card game that was just an app only. It was really good, but then they decided, all right, well, let's just bring it to the tabletop. And it's kind of uses this smash up mechanism

where you take one deck of one faction, one deck of another faction, you put them both together and then you play. And then as you play cards, they kind of level up for later. So they go into your discard pile and you bring it in. Scott, I really think you would actually enjoy this. It's pretty easy to learn. It doesn't have a million keywords like Magic the Gathering, but it is really good.

That's Soul Forge. Long Shot, the Dice game, this is a great kind of family party game. It's a roll and right about horse racing, where you're kind of betting on these different horses. You can then kind of buy the horses throughout the game, but you're just rolling dice. You're filling little things out on your car. You're upgrading their shirts or the hats, which gives more abilities to certain colors of the horses. Really fun game. That's a long shot to dice game.

Storm chasers, you'll see this one for about $20 or $30 in Target. This is a really cool game because I helped to playtest this game, but when it was in playtesting, the real thing about this, it's obviously about following tornadoes and storms, but you use this kind of top. And originally it was a dreidel. The designer wanted to put a dreidel into a game. So you basically spin this top, and that's the tornado that goes around the board.

Oh, really? So it's really cool. Oh, I love games like that. That's pretty cool. It's really cool. And it's very cheap at Target. a great designer and then so number one for you Scott

I think I mentioned this one in the past Green Team wins you've got to get this game because you'd be playing this every weekend with your family because I know your family is very tight they love getting together and you would have an absolute blast playing this okay green team wins

I've got so this list what I've got is title Blades was the first one do I have that right title Blades banner festival that got it then we got soul forage long shot storm chasers and green team wins everybody if you yep so long shot is icing now title blades

is a different game than Title Blades Banner Festival. Title Blades itself is a larger kind of Euro game. And it's in that same universe, but Title Blades Banner Festival is a little bit different. And Long Shot also is an older game by the same designer, where it was more of a card game of horse racing. And then

Longshot, the Dice game, brings it distills down kind of a rolling right. All right. Lay on us the Brian Top 5. By the way, if you get me the list after the show today, just like put it in our Discord, I will. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'll make a post on the quicktms. dot L.I. for folks that

are in their car and can't write things down. Absolutely. So number one for, I'm sorry, number five for you, Brian, is three sisters. This is a roll and right game. Again, another really like the heavier roll and right game from Ben Pitchback and Matt Riddell.

Great designers. They also have another Roll and Right Motor City that's just delivering now. But Three Sisters is all about three sisters is the type of farming, they call it. It's basically you use beans which kind of attach to a corn which helps to protect it from you know pests and stuff like that helps it grow

and then the beans grow up the corn like lattice and then pumpkins or gourds around the outside of how it's made kind of protects again protects the corn and the beans from pests this is an actual thing this is where they took it from Ben's really good about like taking

random items in life and then turning them into a game so that's three sisters is a heavier rolling right The next one, this is one that's another one of these that probably nobody's, not a lot of people have heard of unless they listen to me because I gush about it all the time. This is a game called Legends of Void. Now, it's not, you would think it might be called Legends of the Void, but no, it's Legends of Void. It sounds like a, this is like a mobile game that gets advertised to me on Facebook or something.

Yes, exactly. Small multi-transactions, it's called Legends of Void. You click, click link now. It's good game. Slap monkey with mouse. You're actually pretty close. because they are, this is an Italian designers. These are Italian designers.

Not quite all the way over there. But yes, Toyed games, Alleges of Void is kind of a larger co-op game where you're playing, again, trying to take care of the three big bads. But the really cool thing is the game was heavily inspired by Terraforming Mars. Now, if out there, if you're fans of Terraceforming Mars, or you know how to play Terriform Mars and enjoy it, you can pick this game up a little bit easier because everybody's kind of, you've kind of got who you are and then your faction,

which gives you kind of player powers. And then as you're gathering cards in the game to play them out, the way the cards are laid out with having the different tags or just kind of, if you play it from Mars, you know what I mean by like how the cards are laid out where it's kind of like, it explains on the bottom how to play the card.

A lot of times you're turning or using cards later in your tableau to do other things. You're trying to do damage to the big bads. And once you defeat the badge, you get some more abilities. It's just a lot of fun. It is heavy. And I'll tell you that. It is a little heavier,

but I know that's why it's on the brine. Yeah, it's on the brine. It looks really cool. It reminds me of Abyss. Like, visually looks like a game that I got called Abyss, which is really cool. Yeah. What do you have is that the card game with the, uh, your undersea kind of, oh, that game is so good. Yeah.

I call it the space whales because they just look like space whales. Yeah. Number three is Marvel Dice Throne. So it's up there with Marvel Remix. I almost put Marvel Remix on Scott's list, but we already know about Marvel RemaSk. I just want to tell you guys. about more games. But Marvel Dice Throne is basically a one-on-one game

or two-on-two, where you're, everybody has a character like I'll have Thor and Brian will be Scarl Witch, and we're kind of rolling dice-y-style, and then once you get your dice pool, you trigger abilities in front of you. And we're trying to attack each other, trying to get our health down to zero. But it's really

cool. They've got, I think, eight characters now for Marvel. It comes from Dice Throne itself, but... Yeah, 10, actually, if you did the Kickstarter, which I did. And so I got the full big box set of these. Tina, I've played this, and it is a lot of fun. It's a bummer that it's only one-on-one. I guess you can't do

like you said two-on-two, so maybe I'll figure out a way to bring it to Vegas, but it's really, it's not as much fun with multiple... I mean, it's just fast, fernetic fun with one-on-one. When you start adding in other people and more crap has to

interact with each other, it's not quite the same. Based on its size, it's much more likely than I'm going to bring Marvel remix to Vegas, the Marvel Dice throne. Because these trays and everything, they're Gordon, it's like a great setup, but it's, it's big. It's a lot, right? Yeah, you don't want to drive that or fly that somewhere. Each character has a different tray and different, like, yeah, it's a beast.

Yeah, very cool. Number two, return to Dark Tower. I mean, the new Dark Tower came out, it's so damn good. I don't know if you backed this one, Brian, but it is awesome. Yeah, and they do have, like, it's a phone, it's phone connected, right? the little tower that sits in the middle of the board. Yep. Yeah, you can use it either your phone or I use the iPad because the whole game

itself is kind of its app assisted. And what's really cool is as you drop like a skull into the top which just kind of triggers the end of your turn, the app just knows. It's awesome. And then it just like, and then it talks back to the tower and then the tower kind of you hear it rotating. It makes noises

and then skulls are just dropping out onto the board. Oh, it's so cool. And it's difficult. Like the introduction scenarios are not too bad. but it can get a little difficult time, which is exactly what you kind of want. Yeah, that's what you want. You want your tutorial to be easy,

but let you know how to play the game, and then you want to get harder. This, yeah, I was so tempted. The $300 price tag is the only thing that's kind of shied me away from it, but it looks like such a blast. Yeah, it looks all good. And the number one game for you, Brian,

which is actually my number one, and the geek all-stars number one, and it's probably what I put as my number one on top five. Ark Nova. It's not going to be what you, it sounds a little bit different than what it actually is. This is a heavy Euro game about running a zoo. Really? Because it sounds like a, it sounds like a Korean MMO, if I'm honest.

Yes, it does. Totally does, yeah. Like a space freighters or something. Yeah, it's weird. And actually, Scott, I think you would love this game. It takes a little while to learn and you wouldn't want to read this rulebook because the print is tiny and it's pretty, it's pretty thick as it is. But you would love to play this game. It's awesome.

I mean, it's really cool. you're even learning a little stuff about some of the animals in the game you're making your zoo you're kind of putting animals into the different paddocks and such it's so cool and there's so many cars in it

it's amazing solo this weekend I played it three times solo myself I just love this game as an expansion coming out sometime later this year which adds like aquariums and some other player powers and such there's different zoos I think it comes with like 10 different zoos and there's a map pack

and then on one side is kind of your basic zoo that anybody can use and then on the other side is more advanced views player boards that you can use the way the actions work are amazing

you have five actions in front of you and the action all the way to the right is going to be a power five action when you play an action anywhere in your tableau you take the action out

you do it at that power and then everything slides to the right and you put that action back into number one so you're trying to power up your different actions and you're using them

and then they kind of get more powerful and it's how you're trying of thinking about what to do next sometimes you really need to do an action but it's only a level two

and you really just need to do it. There are other cards that can help you to manipulate where your actions are. You're doing different conservation actions. You have sponsorships. Every game's a little bit the same because, I mean, a little bit different because there's so many different cards

in it and it can go a different way. It is, again, challenging and heavy, but it's awesome. Sounds great. Yeah, this was your big pick for last year's big pick, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is your big bomb.

Absolutely. There you do in the spiel de jour. Or spiel de, Spill de Jure. That'll be out. What's the spiel of the day? Yeah, what's your spiel of the day? Spiel de Jaris, the game of the year.

The Joris, which is the German game awards. Spiel de Jaris, it's pretty funny because it's almost like Scott's list would be more spiel games, and Brian's Lister's would be the Kenner, I think it's the Kenner spiel The Shias, which are more the enthusiast games, so they'd be the more heavier games. And then there's also the Kinder spiel, which is all kids games, which they do that as well over year. And once they announce some of those, I usually try. to bring those on to the show and give my my picks of each one of those can i say one more

thing before i leave yeah of course go okay let me apologize everybody out there first these opinions of my own i don't need to generalize anybody out there right drugs help people period they help people right and uh i'm not singling anybody out i don't know anybody in the audience that it's i'm not saying you're doing something wrong for all we know everybody that listens is part of that one percent that needs everything. I'm just saying, I'm just getting on, it's, this is for entertainment purposes only. Yeah, right. And honestly, if you ever have a drug question,

find me on Twitter, geek jock Dan. I will be happy to answer anybody's drug question at any time. You can even DM me, you know, before tell me to DME, privacy, obviously is number one. I have no problems to answer any questions. I obviously, I have these opinions and they're mostly

again, for fun, but these are generalizations that I see from looking at. things that all the time. So I just wanted to put that out there. No, I appreciate it. Take it out on Scott and Brian. They don't have any of these. I don't have any of these opinions. We don't know. We don't know nothing. No, I didn't mean not to. Oh, my God. All I know is this. This is what I know for sure. Uh, how, okay, I want to ask you this one question, then you can leave, but you have to answer, uh, you have to give us an answer. Okay. You ready for this? No pressure. Yes, sir. When does the entire country

finally legalize recreational weed and it's no longer a state by state thing of federally, federally accepted weed, regulated weed consumption countrywide like Canada or anyone else. When do you think that is? I think that happens

when we figure out who's actually getting paid for everything because I don't think anybody cares about the safety of it. I think we care more about the payment and then how we're enforcing

like what is it like nobody really knows how do you measure the levels of you can't drive on or you can't do this because I've seen people that use it recreation, I mean, not regularity.

Use it for medicinally. Yeah. And they don't go anywhere. They, you know, not driving. And I've seen people that, uh, that have been driving on this stuff. And I'm like, man, I'm afraid for anybody on the road. Oh, yeah. Things like that.

And the hardest part about, uh, cannabis, we, you know, T.C, things like that. It's, the hardest part is just, it's different on every person. And you can't really tell, like, people have been smoking forever. They, you know, one level or another level of the different, you know, the THC, they may be fine. Or they may be ready to walk off a cliff without even realizing it. So it's just, it's such a hard thing to measure. But obviously, what they always say, follow the money. You know, you look at the southern states.

They still are tobacco states and things like that. I mean, North Carolina is going to be a really big fight because there's still a lot of tobacco farms out here, and they don't want you encroaching on their money. No, they like that money. They like to have them. They want to be the vice givers. I don't want a new vice coming into town.

I get it. Well, all right. Good luck, everybody, with your weed. and Dan, it's always a pleasure to hang out and talk to you. Don't forget, you can check out his awesome show and geek jock Dan on Twitter. See, I remembered. Yes, sir. Yeah, stay out of trouble.

I appreciate it, boys, and I'll see you next time. All right, I'll see you. See you. All right. Good. He has so much energy for these games. He does. I know I'm exhausted after a time.

So the names that sound like maps to me today, Soul Forge, Storm Chasers, and Arc Nova. Those all sound like apps on the apps. Speaking of which. That's a nice transition. This is what we're going to do now. If I can find it, there it is. That's right.

Park your butts. And don't touch your nuts. It's time for App Slappy. App Slappy. Yeah, that's right. It used to be a show. Now it's a segment where we talk about apps we've used this week or recently that we like. And we think that you guys might also like.

Ryan, I'm going to start with mine today. Please do. Yeah. Here's the game that I'm going to recommend. It is a game. Stephanie's still not here, so we're safe. We're good. You shouldn't use your phone to play games.

That's right. Now, I don't know who gave me the recommendation, but someone in the tadpole did, and I feel bad for not giving them the proper props here. Let's see if I can actually find their name at a glance. Was it? Give them the proper props. Rigoric? Was it you?

I think it might be? Ah, I forget who did. Anyway, it's a game called Cart Rider Drift. And you might look at it immediately and go, oh, someone made a Mario Kart rip off. That is exactly what it is. It is also on consoles, by the way, or at least some consoles.

And the whole thing's done in Unreal Engine. I don't know if it's five, probably something between four and five. And it is really beautifully done. And it is straight up Mario Kart, the ripoff. They should call it that. Right down to bananas on the, on the, the chorus 100%. The one thing that is different here is it's free to play. And the cars and the

characters and the skins for both and the hats and the stuff, there's a million things like that you're going to unlock in this game. You can also pay for a bunch of that, but it's not egregious with its pay stuff. There are no ads and it doesn't constantly ask you to pay for things. Oh, thank God. It's more like, you know, Battle Pass style stuff. Like, do you want to buy this? And that kind of thing. But you don't have to, you can play and it's a good experience. I played only on phone so far. I've not tried it with controller. I'm sure that probably improves it a little bit. But it's actually pretty solid with a touchscreen, surprisingly. I was surprised how much I thought the control felt good, especially drifting and stuff. But if you played

Mario Kart or Sonic, what's that calling Sonic, whatever, the Sonic one. Sonic racing. Yeah. Any of these where there's boxes to run over and there's a special ability when you get the box and you fire that shit off onto somebody else and try to slow them down, I mean, it's car racing. It's 100% what it is yeah but it's it's well made it's really good a good one of these and um i have a mixed bag of of experiences with games published by nexom at any x-o-m they're sometimes the worst mobile games and then they're sometimes good and this is a good one um i would recommend people play this game i actually quite like it so it's not a ton else to say about it because it's it is exactly what i just said it's mario cart the rip-off um and none of these characters

you have no connection to them they're you know it's not like anything franchises that you've seen oh i love that character i can't wait to play him in there no it's dude with weird blue shaped head yes exactly blonde woman with i patch no no backstory no ip no nothing to just right oh there's a guy looks like a bear maybe or a rabbit and i don't know something like that um but where it counts is the gameplay in this and it's very strong in that regard um i played a bunch of this the other night couldn't stop so uh if jawa driving a taxi yeah yeah yellow jawa driving a taxi basically yes uh the other thing to say is i think it has a pretty robust kind of clan system so if you are a group of gamer friends and you're like well this sounds like fun you can totally like do tournaments and you know

do all that stuff um it's got a lot of like i said the the trappings of a mobile game where you're getting daily rewards just for login in and all the stuff we're used to but i'm not used to the racing being this good in a game like this that is not a proper you know Mario Kart racer or something so I recommend it I think it's a good time

again it is called cart rider drift or colon drift by the way you don't want to get colon drift later in life it's a rough yeah you don't want that may cause drowsiness

yeah oh and I should have said this is available on like I said some of the consoles I'm pretty sure switch and PlayStation I'm not sure about Xbox but it's also on iOS and Android

so all your mobile needs in one little pocket there Nice. Brian, what did you bring along to look at today? I brought a game that is a new entry into a franchise that started in 2013 on the Switch, I believe, is where it first came out. This is a game called Pocket Card Jockey. Oh. Which sounds like a euphemism for...

I'm going to go to the men's room and play a little pocket card jockey. I guess it came out on 3DS, I should say, not the Switch in 2013. That would have been impossible. But, yes, the Nintendo. 3DS in 2013. So it's a horse racing game that involves

solitaire, but not the solitaire of like, I'm trying to fill the tableau with ace to king and alternating suits and all that stuff. No, it's that kind of solitaire that you get lately where it's playing cards that

connect that are either one higher or one lower and in making a chain of as many as possible. Okay. So very, very easy in that regard. And there's a horse racing element to it. So horses give you advantages. The more you play, the better your horses get, and the more bonuses you make.

You also can buy power-ups that, for example, automatically flip through your cards until you get one that you can play to save you time and gain you a faster response. It's just got added to Apple Arcade. So the new entry is called Pocket Card Jockey Ride On. right on right on man right on right on uh just came out january 20th for apple arcade and it's fun it's got a goofy little cartoon aesthetic to it the game plays the game plays great it's a lot of fun it's uh it's a very simple game that that has a lot of depth to the surrounding parts of the game the horse racing aspect, the choosing your horse,

the threat of death that surprisingly came up early in the game that I was taken aback by. Basically, you die, but an angel resurrects you to play to horse race. Oh, geez, that's weird. Yeah, but this version of it, I think, is Apple Arcade, but again, you can find this game everywhere on iOS Android. has the original pocket card jockey so pretty sure this is yeah this is one of those where they

call it plus or something where they yes i believe so yeah they did that with dead cells they did it with a bunch of other games so i i am no ads or anything like that oh yeah and i have all arcades great that way you're never going to get an ad or any of that weirdness um i was going to say that i'd like any i'm kind of in on any game that says here's the concede of all the stuff you're going to do here the characters here's what you do but you're going to play solitaire basically to play it. I love that. Yeah. I love that. Like simple little

card mechanics to make things go like, what was that game we all liked? Oh, the names, no names are coming to me. Puzzle quest or things like that, that have that kind of aspect. I love that. I love it. When the mechanic is like you're playing cards or you're matching gems or whatever, but you're actually doing it for a whole other

unconnected reason than cards. I like that. Right. Yeah, a lot of a lot of dungeon games where it's like, oh, you've entered a new room. Now you have to solve this Sudoku puzzle to move on to the next room or something like that. Sure. I like Solitaire.

So when a pocket card jockey ride on is the new game. It's not called shit out of luck.com. No. Well, good, because Christine would be tuning out right now. She would, yes, for sure. Excellent. That is cool. Carjockey available on Apple Arcade, like you mentioned,

Zoe also had a birthday last week, and by golly, it's time to pay tribute to her. She wrote in and said, Hi, sausage and bacon. Today's the birthday of several tadpullers, including Tina, Big Jim, Diego Santos, and Peter Fisher. It's also a bacon bringer's birthday. I have a very big challenge for you.

called Bacon Brothers. And as I was searching for other covers they've done, they do a great cover of Footloose, which I've played on the show. I found a Swedish band called Bacon Brothers that have absolutely nothing to do with Kevin Bacon. They're almost like Facon, Fakin Brothers. Anyway, in 2003, they came out with an album, and they included this cover of a song

that everybody associates with Santana, although the original version was from Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. Here is Black Magic Woman by Bacon Brothers. Oh, that sounds great. Here it is. We'll be back tomorrow with more TMS. We'll see you then. I got old black magic woman
