Video games. They seem to have captured America's imagination and its pocket change as well. Around here, we don't like coffee. We love it. The morning stream. What do you say? We get nipple to nipple. That's a good morning, everyone, and welcome to TMS. It's Monday, April 10th, 2023.

I'm Scott Johnson. And that right there is Spider Ibit. That's right. The amazing spider ibbit. That's a cool shirt. I like it. Thanks. Yeah, this is, I've had this one.

This is one of the, probably the, oldest shirts in my collection of t-shirts is the miles morella spider-man red on black and your vast array of t-shirts this one is that's right today would have been a really good day well yeah as you say today would have been a really good day to do a um uh a Hawaiian shirt I do have physical therapy later and I just was too lazy to say I'll wear a Hawaiian shirt for the show and then change into a t-shirt for PT but uh whatever I'll change into a Hawaiian shirt afterwards because I'll probably go and lift for a little bit. I mean, the weather's real nice, you know?

It's gorgeous. High 70s. It's going to be mid-80s this week and then snow, rain and snow on the weekend. Hello, Colorado. It's pretty effed up the way that works this time of the year. But, yeah, we had the most, like, radiant, sunny, amazing Easter ever. And then we're also expecting more snow. But we're all in the 70s today for, for, for,

today alone, maybe. I don't know. I'd probably get out with the dog and try to take advantage of some of that. But yeah, welcome to Utah, Colorado, mountain weather. It's weird up here. Dude, I've been actually getting out on the bike. So not doing the indoor stationary bike, but actually getting out and doing the bike first day on the first day of the year. First day since I've been doing physical therapy on my back and my leg and got out there and did a ride. And I get to this hill. And I'm like, oh, I could totally go for it. I shouldn't. It's probably too much.

And I said, screw it. I went for it. And I did. Yeah. I was hurting later that day. I was hurting a lot later that day, which happened to be Saturday and went to the mammoth game that night and was like struggling going up the stairs from our seats. Oh, man.

That's okay, though. I think that's good sometimes. It's a good hurt. You got to push it. Yeah, a good hurt. A good workout hurt. Yeah. And I've decided the MS-150 this year doing it.

I don't care. I may not finish it. I may not finish both days. I may not even finish the first day. But number one, going to start, and I'm just going to basically take it pedal by pedal,

rest stop by rest stop, and go as far as I can. Secondly, most importantly, going to raise the money for MS because that's really what's important. It's less about me getting on the bike and doing it more about me. It's about giving money to Microsoft.

Oh, wait, not that MS. Wait a minute. Different MS. Oh, different MS. Sorry. Different MS. So I will have, my um my bike ms page uh i've already got it i just need to create the the short link to it

um which i haven't done i haven't done it yet well don't worry you'll do it yeah so i'll do it and then uh people can can throw a few bucks my way if they if they're cool with that um that's awesome and they should because it's a good good cause when is it june 24th it's coming fast man it is coming fast and you know i don't have a whole lot of training time between now and then but i'm going to do what i can and uh isn't that that's i think that's the uh the week of uh secret invasion i believe oh i think you're going to say diablo four and you're right about that too so two very important things yeah very very important stuff coming up in june uh a charity bike ride uh a video game and tv yeah across the spiderverse no something oh they're big movie

something else some other movie oh indiana jones i think you'll is that that Friday. I'm such a sucker for that last trailer. I can't help it. Holy cow. I can't help it. Even if this thing is shit, they've got me because the music is burned into our souls, right?

So when you hear that, and then doing like a special hyper arrangement of it, and I'm just sitting there going, Scott, you sucker, you're such a sucker. You're all in on this. You're going. This is it. And then my brain goes, yeah,

and James Mangold's never made a movie I didn't like. So then I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah. And it can't be worse than Christopher. skull. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. Big thanks for setting the bar low with number four, folks. Yeah, nice and low. Yeah, but Phoebe Waller Bridge, come on. She's great. She's great. She's another person who can do no wrong in my eyes. And she is the second best of all the Phoebe's. That's right. I agree. Second best. Only one supersedes the great Phoebe Waller Bridge. That one is a little tiny Phoebe. Yeah. She's yet to prove herself, but we'll see how things go.

Real quick here, Brian. Yeah. Before I get to the morning forum, which we'll do here in a second, I've been barraged with news. Speaking of people we thought we knew, or maybe we do, and it's just a weird culture thing, I don't, I can't get my head around this. Well, someone explain to me why the Dalai Lama is in every headline today, and here's the headline. Dalai Lama, renowned Tibetan spiritual leader, apologizes for asking a boy to suck his tongue. And when I first saw it, I went, okay, is this an onion article? What am I looking at here?

So I kept digging and digging and digging? No, this is a thing. He's apologizing for asking some kid to suck his tongue. I don't know the context. I don't either. Yeah, look at that. It's all over. And it's not just, you know, CNN, BBC, the Times, NPR.

Yeah, it's not just like, it's not like New York Post having a laugh here. It's like a thousand articles from a million reputable sources. Are you having a laugh? get it. I need to know. We need more details. I need more details. Time to cancel the Dalai Lama, Scott. Let's cancel the Dalai Lama. Yeah, it's his time. It's his turn, I guess. So he said, hey, Dolly, how about it is something for the effort? Oh, man. All right. So there's that. Let's get to, let's get to this.

Stand back and check your personal belongings. It's time for the morning form. It's time for the morning form. That's right. Last week, we had the topic of, what was our topic? That's right. Best TV genre. That's right. Best, best, best TV genre. And we had, you know, such answers as science fiction, comedy, and so on. Science fiction ran away with it. Thirty-five point seven percent of the total vote, which is the vast majority of votes. Second was comedy. People like a good laugh. Who doesn't? Who doesn't? That's my question, too. Fantasy at number three there with 30, I'm sorry, 11% of the vote. And rounding that out animation with 7%.

And then everything else is just kind of scattered. Cop dramas in there at a decent level, 5% for action adventure and so on. One of the lowest, 1% for drama, which is interesting. 1% for revenge. Somebody added MMFR for a category that has 0.3%. So anyway, y'all did real good. Thanks for filling that out. However.

Sacrificing the goat on Scott's altar. That's right. Thank you very much. The gods smile upon ye. You'll have a good ear. It doesn't get you an automatic win, though. Nope. Nope.

That's all random. And their random winner this week is lobotomy patient. Lobotomy patient is his name. Lobotomy patient, I have your email. I'll send you in a note today or an email today and hook you up with your prizes. Congratulations. You won a frog pants print and sticker pack. Now, for today's or this week's morning form, it's best fast food.

And Brian has already chastised me. for leaving off an obvious one, all right? I did. Forget me, Scott, for calling out the glaring error of not including Freddy's on this list. Yeah. I try to do it. You can be forgiven.

You can be forgiven. Thank you. I tried to do it in post. It wouldn't let me, I guess once you have votes, you can't go change your form. Yeah, no. But anyway,

you can add it if you'd like. And even if, you know, if people, a bunch of people add Freddy's, then it will add as, you know, you could win still. It could still be the winner. It's entirely possible.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yes. So go vote your conscience. Add one if you didn't see it. I know there are a lot of regional stuff that I don't know about. So this is a lot of top of my head kind of stuff. You know, the usual suspects, Wendy's McDonald's Burger King, they're all on there. But a few others. Anyway, if you go to frogpants.com slash the morning form, you'll not only get your vote heard,

but you'll have a chance to win a prize package next week. So get in there today and get that going. We do these on Mondays. Frogpants.com slash the morning form. Okay. I got to share something with you that freaked me the F out. Love it. Can't wait.

Last night or yesterday, we had a big family reunion, not reunion. What do you call it? Just an Easter get together. Get together? Okay. I don't know why I call it a reunion. People traveled far and wide from downstairs in another room to cross town. Yeah, the farthest people traveled was Orum, which is 25 minutes south.

So it wasn't that much of a reunion. But anyway, my mom came and she had a big envelope of stuff that I had or that she had kept from when I was a kid, things from when I was like two, three years old all the way up until I was like in high school. And I don't know what they're in the mood for right now. I think they're doing end of life stuff. But they're basically just finding all the memorabilia they've got that they can make sure other people get, scan in, keep, do whatever they're going to do with it. And she brought me this list that I made on January 17th, 1984. really i'll show i'm going to show the document on the chat so they can see the actual authenticity of said document yeah let me see i want to see it as well and i want somebody to verify uh do a do a uh

litmus test on the paper to make sure it's 1984 paper yeah somebody check the acid content look at that so here i'm going to read some of these those at home enjoy this in the the audio world so uh for my goals for 84 can we before we even get started can we talk about that signature it's ridiculous it's over the top and dumb look at that dumb thing i used to think that was cool it's not cool i'm trying to think of there's only one other person i can think of in recent years who's got a signature that is that over the top and huge or maybe not huge but huge yeah huge is the right word it's very verbose no doubt um but here are some of the things just some of the things that i put as goals for the year 1984 i was 14 turning 15 that year for

for context. No bugging Matt is number one. All right. And did you how did you do on that one? No. I still bug Matt. Continue to bug Matt. I bug him now. I bug him to this day. I bug him. Put a cartoon in the newspaper. Ding! I actually did that that year. But it was like a local

like free thing that you could buy, you know, just, you know those things you get downtown that would be like free newspaper. Yes. Like the yep, the, uh, the village voice kind of. That kind of thing. So it's one of those. And you really could have actually like, um, just take the one of your cartoons actually physically put it into the newspaper, rolled the newspaper up and said, check, I put a cartoon in the newspaper.

Yeah, I could have easily faked that one, but I did actually do that one. That's cool. Here's one. To get good grades I wrote. Didn't do that. Never did that. Next up, to produce and sell gerbils. Did that. Produced gerbils. Yeah, I produced gerbils. It's funny. The spelling of gerbils also kind of emphasizes that to get good grades. Yeah, terrible spelling. There's a few. of those here. Learn programming for Apple. I did do some of that. I made my own little adventure game, space adventure game on an Apple 2E, I think. To at least try making a movie, I made a bunch of dumb, stupid video clips. Yeah, your little burning Luke Skywalker. Yeah, that would have been that year, I think. Something like that. That would have counted. Sure, for sure. To try at least making a movie, or I read that, to gain 20 pounds, didn't do that until much later.

But boy, have we succeeded in that in our later years, though, right? Yeah, I was such a skinny kid. I was never able to gain weight. Now, I sure could want to reverse that one. Get Eagle for scouts. Didn't do it. I got close. But when you turn 15, suddenly girls were more interesting than stupid scouts.

Grow five inches in 1984. I don't know. Is that, that really is 1984? Yeah, that's a four. I was going to say it looked like 1989, but yeah, you do have a curling or four. Wait, just grow five. five inches in that year yeah yeah which makes no sense and i certainly didn't do that but i was already getting kind of tall yeah i don't know why i did that you think that's weird let's keep going

make lots of money didn't do that to be an artist and cartoonist which is weird uh thing to say for 84 uh draw for the president who would have been ronald regan at the time yeah draw for them yeah draw for the president or as i started to type and crossed out pez and then i crossed that out the president sure that's where you lift ronald regan's head and a little piece of candy comes out yeah that's my understanding improve my basketball which should say improve my game my playing or something about instead of something like i like it to improve on my basketball oh yeah improve on my basketball to keep i don't know if i did that or not so that's unknown uh to keep my room clean all year no way probably not even that day yeah that was bullshit right there um let's see to be at least at every video or to be to be best at every video game there is.

Which just is a weird thing for anyone to say. I mean, there's, there's, they tell you what the acronym is smart, right? Let's see. Oh, geez, I can't remember what the S is. The M is maintainable. A is achievable. An S is, R is. Oh, R is R.

What is S? What the heck is S? Sustainable? Sustainable, maybe. No, uh, specific. That's it, right. Specific, maintainable, measurable, measurable. Look at this. I'm already attainable. T is task-focused or, or no, God. It's been a long time.

Oh, Dale Carnegie. The ghost of Dale Carnegie is going to come get me. He's still haunting you. Then I said, and here's where things get weird. To collect 3,000 business cards. 3,000. I was really in. It's such a weird goal.

It's a weird goal of collecting any of them. Like, I had this thing with business cards. I still have a box somewhere of the collection that I had then. And I, for whatever reason, I was into collecting business cards. I thought they were so cool. I don't know why. Eat as much as possible. That was part of the gain weight thing.

What a goal. Was that, you know, the gaining 20 pounds, was that just because people told you were too skinny? Or were you trying to do some wrestling? Or what was the... No, it was just too skinny. I just could not gain weight. All my friends were like starting to look normal, and I looked like spaghetti boy. It just wasn't working out.

I also had a, I had pretty hardcore body dysmorphia, I think. So I think I just had no concept of what I should look like. But anyway, I look back now. It's just embarrassing. Collect 3,000 bumper stickers. Oh, wow. Or as I wrote sticker, but with no ass. I don't know, these numbers, this 3,000 for both business cards and bumper stuff.

I don't know what that is. I don't know what I was thinking there. What is the wise 3,000 the magic number? We know it is for Tony Stark and is the late Tony Stark and his daughter, but I don't know why 3,000 is the magic number here. Maybe I was, I don't know, predicting the future of the Ems of the year. You were saying, yes, I love you 3,000 bumper sticker. Yeah. Then I got collect straw cover papers.

Now let me explain this. Help me with that. For some reason, I thought it was cool if you went, whatever restaurant you went to. You know my thing with like taking a towel from a hotel every time? Yeah, yeah. I thought it was cool for some reason when you were done with a straw, the paper that came in, that you would fold that up and keep that and you could have a whole bunch of those. And like basically have a display of all the different paper, straw, paper cover. Yeah, it was a quantity thing more than a like, they're not rare or anything.

It's not like they were going to be worth anything. Oh, God, no, no. And sadly, many of them don't have any printing. So they're just white. Exactly. Blandoid things. How come not 3,000 of those, by the way? I don't know. I don't know. That's, isn't that weird? It's very weird.

It feels like that would have been another place for $3,000. Yeah, I think it's inconsistent that I didn't go with that number. And then my final note was to go with one girl for three months, which implies that implies two things. One, either I'm going with too many girls too often and breaking up with them and then going right to the next one, which is definitely not true. Or it implies that I was really, I don't know. I don't know. Either way, it doesn't say good things about me. You know, if it's anything like my, like my history, to make a girl not want to dump me in two and a half months. Yeah, there you go.

Just a better way of saying it. I probably should have put it that way. Now, the one thing I want to point out, this weird bit up at the top, where I put goals for 84, there's an N underneath. And maybe I started writing no bugging map, but I don't know why I've got like this whole column over here. Like, what was I doing there? And there's stuff on the back, but it's my mom's writing. It's not me. Okay.

Yeah, because I can see the word basketball. Like, there's another piece of paper behind this one that you took photo of that. Yeah. I think it's just written on the back. So it's coming through with the light. I wonder if it's, um, would that have been somebody else's list? Oh, maybe. Because I'm seeing like get along with, and maybe it was going to be get along with Scott Moore or something or quit.

If it is, it's on the rear side and I don't have it here with me. Interesting. But that's, that's a thing I could debug later. Yeah, the letter N, like, nope, it's going to start doing it, but I need a lot more room for some of these, so let's put it in a light down the middle. Tomorrow I will share an apology note I wrote for my mom. Don't know what the crime was, but an apology note I wrote for my mom on the back of a paper plate, and I'll bring that tomorrow.

Oh, wow. Too bad it wasn't a little short one on the back of a straw cover paper. Right, exactly, right? Just like a little tiny writing. Oh, what is your, so these days. You know, we still get straws. And here's my deal. I never ask for a straw and I never take a straw.

But when they bring them to the table, I know that those are just going to get thrown in the trash. There's nobody, there's no restaurant that brings you a paper straw. Leap puts it on the table in front of you and then says, oh, it doesn't look like he opened it. We're going to go ahead and give this to another patron. They get tossed. Yeah. I'd be curious if there is, you know, somebody works at one. This is, oh, no, if we see that it's been unopened, we'll give it to another customer.

Yeah. But when you do unwrap a straw, first off, are you a slam the straw down on the table, pull the straw out of the top, or? No, that's some alpha male shit. I like to pull, I like to tear up in the open, just push it a little bit and then blow it into my wife's face. I do that every time if I can. And a lot of times, you know, those things are leaky. They don't have perfect air in there. Yeah.

So you'll go, instead of just going to blow to the left and not come off the straw because there's a hole in it. Yeah. But normally I feel like we're on the cusp of a goals for 2023 list. And not bugging Kim might be at the top of that list. Yeah. Especially hanging up on phone calls that she's making from the car. Yeah. All right.

And so once you've got the paper off, assuming that it's not shot across the five guys burgers location. Yeah. Are you a crumple it up into a wad? Are you in a like I kind of fold it up and leave it on the table? What would, uh... Um, so there's two other things. I'll do, and they used to do this with my kids all the time. There's two other things I'll do.

So one of them is you take it into, let's see, if it doesn't blow out, okay, then I take it and smush it all the way down, so it's like a little accordion kind of thing. And then what you do is you lay it on the table and you take the straw and you get a little bit of water in the straw, drop of water, and it does like a worm. And my kids used to love that. It's like, it's alive, dad, that kind of thing. and then with the straw

when we're done I wrap it between my fingers really quickly so that you've just got one hyper-packed air pocket and then Nick Carter or Taylor their job is to reach

when they take turns they reach over the table and flick it as hard as they could and it will pop and the whole restaurant will hear it and it just goes bang just like this huge

bubble sound that's how you do it that's how you do it that I've never done that's awesome that's actually a lot of fun But you have to be really quick because the air will get out. You have to go and then quickly flick it or else you're going to have a disappointing moment.

So that's what you have in straws. I didn't realize how much straw flex I have. I have a lot of straw stuff going on. There's a lot going on in my straw life. Apparently so. Yeah. Living that straw life. That's right.

And my daughter married a straw, Dylan Straw. So, well, now what? No kidding. Yeah. Wow. Wow. We've really cracked it open today. So those of you in two weeks coming to view,

a TMS Vegas two weeks away can't freaking believe it. Two weeks. Two weeks. Make sure to both bring Scott both your business card and your paper your straw paper. Yeah, and your bumper sticker. Whatever you got. And your bumper sticker. Oh yeah, let's get him to, let's get him to

3,000 everybody. Let's do it. Let's try. There's never it's never too late to fulfill your bucket list goals. Okay. Yes, exactly. All right. Enough of that. I need to hear about this too. Yeah. It was really fun though. We all had a bunch of she brought him for all of us. All of us had apology letters for some reason. My mom, I guess we were apologizing all the time.

Oh, that's awesome. And the fact that she saved him is sweet and also maybe a little bit passive aggressive. Yeah, yeah. Like, you're going to use this against you in the future. That's what I said to her. I said, Mom, what's with all these apology letters? I don't know. I just thought they were cute. So I kept up, beep, beep. I'm like, oh, okay. It's so that whenever you guys did something that you didn't apologize for, I could look back on the one time you did apologize. exactly that exactly that um all right real quick one final thing i had a weird dream yeah and this is a single note dream there's not a lot to tell you except in the dream the entire premise was

when people die normal deaths just whoever car accident a heart attack a guy just old age whatever just people dying yeah we we in this dream lived in a society where that meant you could do anything you wanted now with the body and I don't mean something gross and sexy I mean like you could

gross and sexy gross and sexy I think I mean it that way but two more two more for the 2023 goals but what it was it was almost like you know how the

the movie where the one day a year get to kill each other the purge right where you can do whatever you want yeah the way it works is you somebody died and then that meant

if you have a gun here's a gun take a gun and you can just fill that corpse full of bullets because you get to live your dream of like shooting somebody yeah it's like west world kind of right like yeah kind of yeah there's no there's no bad circumstance with shooting a body it's already dead you can't kill a person twice and so it's obviously desecration of desecration of corpses obviously that in this dream that was not an issue and it was like oh grandpa's dad quick get the get the shotguns this is our chance to know what it feels like to shoot a body and you get a shotgun and bang bang bang and shoot grandpa full of holes and and that was like that was the dream and everybody was so cool with it and I woke up so

disconcerted I woke up feeling just gross and awful because I just thought well this is not a place I want to be I don't want to live in that world no but anyway I don't know how to deter I don't know how to like break that dream down I don't know how to where that came from I don't get it yeah I don't know how do you how do you uh parse that like how do you I didn't watch a weird well I watched everything everywhere all at once. And by the way, I've told you I'm a film sack, but freaking loved it. Yeah.

Can't stop thinking about that movie. I don't think that's why I dreamt it. But it's the only thing I saw that was really hyper, you know, I don't know how to, I don't even know how to describe that movie to people. I don't even know how to describe it. It's the weirdest,

coolest damn thing I've ever seen. It was so cool. It's so good. Gosh, dang it. Oh. And you know what? I had, dubious. Oh, I will say this. This isn't much of a stance, but here's my soapbox stance.

All right. I love Jamie Lee Kirk. I told you this is Saturday, Sunday. Oh, yeah. I love Jamie Lee Curtis. She's great, and I'm glad she finally got on Oscar. I think that's awesome. However, there was a better supporting actress in this movie, and she got overlooked entirely, and I'm shocked by it. And I understand how Hollywood works. They give it to the elder statesmen. People have been around for a while, never win. I get it. She's got a huge career ahead of her, but that girl that plays the daughter was so effing good. Mm-hmm. She,

the wrong person got the award. She was really good. She was good. She had to be good in so many different ways. You know what I mean? Like, playing different Stephanie Sue. She had to play so many different versions of herself in this thing. Yeah, she was incredible. And I just thought, I had

this one thought, was there some old white man on the board going, well, we can't have two? many Asians on stage at once. That's trouble. We need to get at least one white lady in there. Yep, you're not wrong. Hurry up and watch Aquafina's Nora from Queens, because you'll get some more Stephanie Sue. Oh, she's in that. Okay, cool. She's in that. Because Aquafina kind of drives me nuts, but I like... Oh, well, then... This girl. I like this girl a lot. I mean, this is Aquafina at her Aquafiniist. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Okay. I don't know the two of them are also in

Shang Chi, too. Oh, she is? The... Yeah, Stephanie Sue is as well, yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. I want to say, is she the friend at the the beginning and the end that really doesn't, is just basically bookends the story with the same couple that are... Oh, is that her? That might be a...

I think so. Give her a leading role. She blew my frickin mind. Yeah. That movie, though, in general, what a thing. What a thing to see. I don't even... To this moment, I'm still not quite sure. or how they pulled it's you know movies when movies try to do something that's ridiculous

it's usually kind of a problem yeah because you're like you're kind of ruining in your movie by trying this this level of ridiculous this movie is so well made that they do a couple in particular couple i'm not going to spoil what but two very ridiculous things in particular that should be just straight up the dumbest things i've ever seen instead it involves uh yeah Let's just say it involves a part of your body and another hole and an animal that likes garbage. Let's put it that way. Oh, I thought you were going to talk about the rocks. Okay.

That too. That's fine too. Like, you know what I'm saying? You can't get away with that, 900 times out of 1,000. But these guys, my gosh, it makes me want to see that Swiss Army Man movie that he did before this. I haven't seen that. the Daniel Radcliffe Yeah

that has a number for an answer. Scott's going to give his answer, and then it's up to you, Katie, to guess the actual answer is higher or lower than Scott's guess. You're going to get five questions, and if you get at least three right, you're going to get a prize package

that includes 911 operator so you can pretend your Angela Bassett in that horrible TV show and XMorph Defense Complete Pack, both of those games, courtesy of our friend, David Akers. Thank you, David Akers,

for contributing those Steam games. I played the 911 operator. It's actually pretty fun. It's really good. It's like kind of a... That's my life. Yeah, that's right. Oh, no kidding.

That's right. That is hilarious. We did not mean to do that. That's funny. No, we really didn't. I forget about that. So, yeah, well, not doing it now, fortunately. So this will be a little...

You might get a little PTSD from... Yeah, you can always give it to a friend. But, yeah, those are both quality products. Talk about Chorcore. All right. Let's get to a question. Number one, Scott, what percentage of a Twinkie is air? Oh, geez.

There's air in a Twinkie. That's one big Twinkie, says Ernie Hudson. I'm going to say 40% error. 40% error is incorrect. Katie, is the actual answer higher or lower than 40%. Oh, I got to think it's higher. It is absolutely higher. 68% of a Twinkie is air.

the remaining 32% is made up of just 34 ingredients. Just 30, only 34? Just 34 ingredients in a Twinkie besides air. I have one. I still have that solid 10, once in like 15 years old now, that petrified one, and it is out of air, I can tell you that. No air left. It's 100% gross.

Yeah, no kidding. That'll be used as a weapon at some point. You're able to use that against the zombie hordes as they approach. Hey, Scott, in years, so you remember, you know, the Hollywood sign? that overlooks the city of Hollywood in California. For a while, it said Hollywood land until the Rocketeer knocked that guy off of the Hindenburg, and he crashed and burned and burned up the words land, I think. I can't remember.

Something like that. Anyway, Timothy Dalton, wasn't Timothy Dalton? Did he knock? Something. In years, for how long did the Hollywood sign actually say Hollywood Land? Oh. how many years? Yeah, how many years?

So right now it says Hollywood, but for a while it said Hollywood land. How long in years did it say Hollywood land? I'm going to say 25 years. Okay. That is incorrect. Katie is the actual answer higher or lower than 25 years? Oh, I'm going to say higher.

It is higher, but only by a year, Scott, nicely done 26 years. Wow. was how long it said Hollywoodland. That was a great guess, man. Wow, I had no idea. It was a complete guess, pulled out of my butt. I thought it was a little too long, but nicely done, though, Katie, because boom, look at that.

Yeah. All right. Wow, you're doing great. If you get one more right, you get the prizes, but because I have five questions here, we're going to answer all five questions, whether or not you get it right. How many instruments did Prince play on his debut album? So back in the day, Prince releases his debut album. which I think was called For You, if I remember correctly, or was it called Prince, and For You was his second album?

Anyway, just as a note, I mean, he did play all the instruments. How many instruments, different instruments, did Prince play on his debut album? I'm going to go with, uh, does a voice count, or can you tell me that? I can't tell you. I don't know, but he, yeah, let's say it counts because he sang, so, of course, yes. Okay, so it counts as an instrument. I'll say, sure. I'll say six

Okay That is incorrect Katie is the actual answer Higher or lower than six Um Let's go with higher I think he's an overachiever He is absolutely an overachiever

Congratulations 27 different instruments Including the the fuzz bass The polymode The finger symbols And water drums Prince played So a little more than 20 times What I believed was the

Well a little more than 20 more than what you believe Oh, I mean 20 times. 20 more. Scott does math. Get good grades in 1984, I said. Speaking of math. So, congratulations. You've won the prizes.

We're going to continue on with these other questions because they're so fun. What percentage of American adults have never flown on a plane? I'm going to say 15%. 15% That answer is incorrect Katie is the actual answer Higher or lower than 15% I'm gonna keep going with saying higher

Because that sounds way too low Higher feels like the right answer on Aldi's Doesn't it? Scott was extremely close again on this one 18% So it is higher You do get the points But

But Scott again coming really close With those guests I thought I was way low Like way way low But I thought you were going to say I was like 30 or something But Yeah no

It was really close All right. One last question. Back to toys, because we love our toys. Sure. How many coils does an official metal slinky have? So not the little plastic, two-color one, but the actual metal coil, the metal slinky. Goes downstairs, alone and pairs. How many coils does it have?

Who knows what average even means, but I'll say. Not average, official. official metal slinky yeah okay so they have an official length okay yeah um and and diameter obviously which makes the coils so i'll let's say with um it's more than one coil amy i mean it is one piece of metal but it is you know each each go around is a coil i'm gonna say 75 coils oh all right that is incorrect katy for the sweep is the actual answer higher or lower than 75 oh let's say lower Oh, you should have stuck with higher. 98 coils. Of course, originally designed as the spring for sensitive nautical instruments, but, yeah, 98 coils in a metal slinky.

Mr. Fierich in the chat got it. How did he know that? He'd look it up? How did he know? Did he really? Yeah, he got 98, exactly. Wow. He answered immediately after I said it, really quickly after I said it,

McPyrick, McPyric. Maybe he should he get the 911 operator game. Oh, because you're not going to play that one? You're not going to play a game that is basically your work. I mean, it probably actually will give me PTSD, honestly. 9-1-1, watch your emergency. Walking Up and Down Shirt and Boulevard carrying a sign. Would you like to play that game?

No. Have you ever seen that show, by the way, the 911 or the Texas spinoff thing? Have you seen any of that? You asking me? No, her. No, I've never seen them. I did watch the one that was actually, I don't know what it was called. It was on ABC.

It was the actual real 911 operators they were following. Oh, that'd be interesting. Oh, yeah, yeah. Tina loved that one. Yeah, that one I watched, but I was also still in training at the time, so it was kind of like doing my homework. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if I could watch it now.

Yeah, it's probably weird now. But the show is so ridiculous. It's like a 911 call will come in, and it's all really dramatic, and there's like big squiggly lines on the screen, like waveforms and stuff, like the calls coming in, and they'll say, 911, what's your merchandise? And the lady will go, it's all on fire! And then they'll cut to a commercial and come back. It's really dumb.

Yeah, real life, 99% of the calls are very common, random, either crazy people or just old people that fell down and need help getting up. That's right. Yeah, we talked about that in Vegas when we were having that drink. We talked about most of those calls just being dull. Has any of them said, I've fallen and I can't get up if they ever said that on the line? Yeah, and it's really hard not to laugh. Well, we can laugh now. And go, where's the beef?

That'd be good. Where's the beef? No, but I told you about that one lady that asked for, be serviced by an officer. Oh, really? Wow. That's crazy. Prostitution is legal in Nye County where I live. Yeah.

And during COVID, she called because she had an urge. She wanted to know if it was okay to visit the brothels. Yeah. During COVID, during lockdown. Yeah. And then she decided to keep calling. I went until an officer came out, and then she was asking for us to send a cute one. And then she called back and tell us to tell the officers that are coming that she's going to be in the shower and that she's naked.

Just come on in. Wow. Don't knock. Just come on in. And then he got there and she completely denied it. You know what? It's funny. When I was in high school, that would have sounded really intriguing.

Now I hear about that lady. That kind of person terrifies me. If you saw her mugshot, it would not have been intriguing. No. Well, he was arrested for abusing 9-1-1. Gotcha. Oh, God. Yeah.

She's in a real meth now. I'm sorry, mess. I meant mess, not meth. You know, you know what I meant. Anyway. So Katie mentioned, by the way, when I was out there, that you can actually tour the brothels. You know, you don't have to go in there just for the muffky-fucky, but you can actually

go there and tour them. And I thought, man, future TMS Vegas. Scott, you and me, we've got to go tour the chicken ranch. I would go there. I'm so curious to see the other restaurant is really good too. Really? Oh, I'm not. I'm not touching any silverware plates.

As I was going to say, I may walk through there with gloves and a mask on, but I don't know. I'd have to think about it. Yeah, just don't bring your black light. You'll be blinded. Yeah, I don't want that. You'll be blinded. Well, this is great. You've won, and here's how I know.

Congratulations. You're a winner, says Scott Fletcher. That means you're officially a winner. Brian will get to these codes, and you will walk away. way to San Francisco, a very, sorry, San Diego, a very happy recipient. Thanks for playing with us, and thanks for being number four today and have a fun trip. Yeah. See you in a couple weeks.

See you in a couple weeks. And don't have the clam chowder in San Diego, not nearly as good. No, the chicken salad's bad. It's all prepared naked by men with wieners out. Don't do it. Don't do any of it. Well, I was referring to San Diego, not to the brothels. Oh, they made the brothels.

Not to the brothel, commissary. Yeah. Also, you know what? I don't trust anybody who tells me authentic clam chowder is coming because it always has sand in it every time. When they tell me that, I've had that three or four times in my life where they said, oh, it's really authentic. I'm like, okay, let's do it. Sand. Every time.

There's crunchy sand in there. What is wrong with you people? They basically say, did any of those clams have sand? Nope. All right, we'll sprinkle a little bit in there because we promised authentic clam chowder. By golly, we're going to deliver it. It was my fault. All right.

we're going to take a break. Before we do that, though, this break is brought to you by something. Hey, Brian, who is it brought to us by? Sure. Do you like Classic TV from the 90s and before?

Tell me about your dream last night. So I'm curious, have you ever driven like a small red sports car like a Miata or a I drove a geotracker? I mean, it's not small, but it was red and sporting. I had a red MR2 in high school for a while until I broke this trucks. I had this dream that you were driving like a little Miata, a hard top, and you drove like right to one of those jacked up like F-450 trucks. And you ran under it. right under the bed and like I was like oh god Brian's gonna kill himself and it went right under

scraping and I ran over and you were fine on the other side the top was a little tinted down I was like Brian how did you do this and you're like I just scrunched down a little bit and I went through weird what's the deal there what was that why you dream I have no idea huh that's wild man yeah look at you guys with your weird dreams I thought I was the only one I'm not the only one oh no my dreams is strange yeah you know what do you do you have a reason why you think your dreams are weird? Like, I can't figure out. Oh, yeah. I've talked about this before. It's a gateway to other dimensions where I'm living vicariously through my other selves. I've had this dream since I was 18 or this belief since I was in high school. So you're basically experiencing everything everywhere all at once. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Other dimensional Stevens. Oh, my gosh. That movie. Wow. Yeah, I had this dream. Okay, so here's where the dream where I found out that I was dressed up as some kind of like Marine guy. And they're like, when you go through this door, you will enter the multiverse. And this was, again, this was like 1980s, 687. Yeah.

And we went through, and the purpose was we were trying to keep these aliens, like from the movie Alien, from breaking through into these other dimensions. And you go through and it's like, you're in this weird mirror verse or inside your brain where you have all these dendrites and things going off on all directions. Everybody was scrambling on all these bridges between doorways to other dimensions. And then they're like, they broke it through. They broke it through. And everybody was shooting at the aliens. And then one of them jumped at me. I woke up.

I was like, whoa. And so ever since then. Wow. Wow. So you can pinpoint the start of it all. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, it was, yeah. I can go all the way back to that point. Your, your own personal everything bagel. Yep. People won't know what that is until they see the movie. That's right.

Well, all right. Well, Stephen, it's good to have you here. We got a text I want to throw at your face before we get going here. This is from somebody. Yeah, you don't have to throw it at my face. I kind of like my face. He didn't use his name, he or she, so I don't know who this is, but they said a note for Stephen and us in an anonymous text that came to us. It says, hello S&B and Stephen. Just a quick note to say I found multiple sources that confirmed Jack Kirby himself pronounced it Darkside. He says it is a German Germanic pronunciation of the villains's name.

Wait, wait, so actually Darkseid, not Darkseed. Yeah, Darkside. Because there's some people out there that pronounce it Darkseed, and I'm like, those people are weird. Yeah, I've always said Darkside because I just, I don't know, I swear some of the animation calls him Darkside. I don't think they're calling them Darkseed either. dark side yeah or dark side but uh they so this seems like some i don't i mean this isn't really proof but it's another voice saying hey it's it's dark side so yeah quit worrying about it good good now i feel like we can move forward with our lives and not worry about the damn villain

anymore not until we figure out what james gunn's going to do with him right like we don't know right yeah do you think he's got plans for like okay let me ask you this if you had to predict for the superman what's it called we already have a legacy legacy who's a who's our big bad there do you think Lex Luthor Yeah I think so They go back to bases

Okay Yeah I think they have to I think at this point You have to Even though Because you gotta remember Darkside did not come around Until new gods

In the like late 60s early 70s So it's like You can stay away from All of that stuff You've got like 50 years A Superman Before Darkside shows up

And even then He's more of a Jimmy Olson villain first Before Superman steps in So Yeah that's true Well, I'm, yeah, I'm so curious about how that's all going to go. But we are going to know a lot more about new Star Wars stuff, including the announcement that Ray is getting her own Star Wars treatment.

Oh, yeah. Hey, guys, do you remember just like a couple of weeks ago, we were like, oh, I guess this is the end of Lucas film. They canceled the Kevin Feigey Star Wars movie. They canceled the Rogue Squadron from Patty Jenkins. They're not going to have any more Star Wars movies until it was announced this weekend. Oh, no, we canceled too, but we're bringing 30. three Star Wars movies your way, including the return of Daisy Ridley as Ray, as she goes in and is going to build her own Jedi order, hopefully with a better result than Luke Skywalker did

when he tried to recreate the Jedi order. Did we get a, there's no title or date or any of that, right? No, this is just like, hey, we got Star Wars coming, everybody. My guess is the first we would see any of these new movies would be 2020. 27 or no, 2026 would be my guess as the earliest. So not only do we get a new Ray Star Wars movie, but we have

Dave Filoni, who is going to be directing a Star Wars movie. Dave Filoni is the current head of all things. Star Wars. He's the one that started out with the Clone Wars as one of the animators there, and then he moved up to the rankings, and I guess you would say him and now I forgot his name.

from Iron Man and... Oh, oh, John Favreau. John Favreau or your two big Star Wars guys. But the Dave Faloni movie is all about, let's tie in the Mandalorian, Asoka, the new TV series that's coming up, the Book of Boba Fett. Let's tie that whole big giant arc up

into one movie for that. And then Scott, hang on to your butt. I'm holding on. James Mangold is been tapped to do a Star Wars movie. What? He's going all the way back to the very start of the Jedi order when he kind of describes it as an old testament of Star Wars

where it's like where did the where did they find the force how do we create like the the Ten Commandments and and the Moses of all of this stuff how are we going to do that in Star Wars form and so he's approaching it from this big Ben-Hur spectacle of the origins of of the force so that's pre that's pre-nights of the old republic and all that stuff yeah it's pre-nights of the old republic pre-high republic all of that stuff. It will be called the first midaclorean. There you go.

He didn't make Wolverine Origins guys chat room. That wasn't him direction there. Or was it? He did Logan. He made Logan. Logan's amazing. And he also made the second one,

which is also amazing. It's really good. But what was that first? I hope I don't have that wrong. I've been giving him too much credit if that's been mangled this whole time. Anyway, I don't blame him either way.

But that's exciting. I don't know. Before you said that, I didn't know how I feel about such a thing, but I'm actually kind of jazz now to hear that he would be. So am I. The one thing that I'm a little disappointed, I think one of these projects does look at the

High Republic era, or there is a project that's coming up that's High Republic era -esque. But I'm really, Lucasfilm and Disney spent basically 2019 until I think this past weekend, really focusing on this High Republic

big story arc that was going to be tied up in comic books, which they did, books which they did. I don't know about video games. I can't remember if there was a new High Republic video game that came out, but all this stuff that took place at the height of the Jedi Order and the Republic. And they've done really good with that.

And so I'm really surprised they're not doing something set specifically during that time period. Right. The High Republic is a game coming from the people who did oh crap. The one about the Android robots future stuff.

I cannot remember the name of that studio. Shoot. Anyway, that's a high anticipated. That is something that is coming. And I think it's called Oh shit. Is it just called High Republic? It's something else. It's probably called High Republic. I can't remember. But there's a really good trailer for it. Oh, the Acolyte is High Republic. That's that's right. That's the Acoly one of the new TV shows. And tell me about Skeleton Crew. What do we know about that? What does that do? So Skeleton Crew is your kid-friendly

animated series that is going to be for all the, your grandkids will I say that to now. Scott, I'm not making you feel old, but it makes me feel real old. You're going to love this. Scott, it's called a skeleton crew or something. But it's got Jude Law navigating the world of the Republic after the return of the Jedi

and he's got some young kids with him. And so I think that that should be really interesting, especially since word is that the Daniels of everything everywhere all at once will be directing at least one episode in the series. Oh, no way. That's cool. Well, that makes me very excited. So this is animated. Do we know what style? No, I need be mistaken. I think that is live

action. I'm sorry. Oh, it is live action. There is another one that is like all completely animated that they didn't talk about it at the main, the main announcements this past weekend. All right. I've, um, more, well, whatever. I think Star Wars is so well suited to television that I think that's, this is good to hear that there's so much of that coming. Um, I guess there was also confirmation from Kennedy or somebody saying that the the what's the name right

no the other guy that did the Ryan Johnson Johnson's trilogy is not happening right that's a the Ryan Johnson stuff they say we would love and again this is nice corporate speak right we would love to do more stuff with Ryan Johnson however he is super busy

with all of his other projects Glass Onion Poker face that he doesn't have time right now to commit to anything in the near future, which means, you know, Star Wars Celebration, 2026, we'll probably see Ryan come out with some movie announcements. Okay. Okay. So on the Ray thing, a lot of people have been like, what about Finn?

He needs his day. Like a lot of, you know, fans are freaking out that it's Ray's focus, not Finn or somebody else. I think that they all deserve a little better treatment. Oh, sure. And I would really like it, like I heard about this and got kind of excited because I'm like, you know what? those movies are kind of lame

I would love to see Ray get a spotlight and do something cool again it's you know it's all about filmmakers and writers and directors and how hands on or hands off the studios are going to be and how much creativity the director gets and that sort of thing

but JJ Abrams painted by the numbers and he was very careful with it and it was a very corporately controlled thing and we all felt it as fans yeah it was too safe so give her some room to do something cool and give Finn his own thing. I'm fine with that. Bring those guys out again. Yeah, Poe Damron, exactly.

Those, they all deserve better. So give them better. All right? Yeah, I think so. I don't know what the case is. I don't know how the actor who plays Finn currently feels about Star Wars. If you'd be willing to come back. From what I hear, again,

all rumor conjecture, anything is up in the air until the script is written and you watch it on the screen. But this is supposedly takes takes place 10 years after the ninth movie or 12th movie or whatever it is.

Which might actually be about right if that movie doesn't come to like 2025, that'll literally be 10 years. Yeah. Yeah. Think of that. That's weird, isn't it? Holy crap, 2015 was that?

Was that right? Have I had that right? 2015 was the first return to Star Wars, the force of weeks? Something like that, yeah. Oh my gosh. That's, I don't like how far 2015 is now. my favorite here anyway hey stephen is always it's a pleasure do you have anything going on on

the site that you want to tell folks about well uh if you want more star wars action there's plenty of star wars comic books coming your way from marvel comics this week they have star wars return to the jedi walks in case you want to follow some furry cannibals and and their adventures they also have star wars the high republic number eight star wars bounty hunters number 33 and star wars doctor afra number 31 all four of those are out this week week from Marvel Comics. So go get your Star Wars action at your local comic book shop. And don't forget, May 1st is just our, uh, the first Saturday in May is just around the corner, which is free comic book day. It's not free for your local comic book store. So if you do go and participate,

make sure you buy something there, but it is free when Scott sends out some art on free comic book day. That's right. We wouldn't mind if you bought stuff in the store that day as well, but, uh, people don't have to. We do it every year. And I've done it since 2011, I think, 2012. Carter and I, so this year's no different. This year's, uh, theme is villains at the beach and we're pretty stoked about it so get ready for that we'll be well scott brian may the force be with you and stay hydrated ah the two famous lines from star wars especially that hydrated one i mean why else would luke go he's got to work on the moisture of evaporators or who's going to do it exactly like you can't go to tashi station we need to stay

hydrated here at home yeah the whole town of whatever they were in Skywalkerville Skywalker Town. Did we know? They were in some offshoot. They weren't in Moss Isley. No, they lived in Boone's Farm. No, I don't know. I don't know either.

Booneys for sure. Because, you know, they were all out of moisture. BF and E is the initials of that place. That's the one. All right, we're going to give Justin R. Young a call. You might be familiar with his work. And he hasn't been on the show in a long time, but we're excited to have him here. I'm trying to see if I should play his thing, but I can't.

Oh, you know, this is just for old time's sake. Here you go. These are their stories. Oh, I'm terrible with names. That's so weird to hear that again. Look who it is, everybody. It's your old pal, Justin Robert Young, joining us from Texas now. I think the last time we talked to you may have been there as well.

But Justin, always a pleasure to have you on, man. What's going on? Oh, my God. So, I'm so excited to be back on. It's so good to see you, man. It's great to see you. Look at you in the newsroom there. where all the love and the world happens.

Where the news happens. I know. Not just the politics happens, but the politics, the politics and the politics. Wait, what is that? All the politics are happening. What's that thing behind you? Is that like a scale?

What is that? Oh, it's for the birds. If I ever, if the birds are just hanging out, when I'm streaming so they can just sit right there. They just hang out. Oh, that's great. I've been told that my background is for the birds also. Yeah, your background's always for the birds, Brian.

They won't try to eat the wires if I'm constantly bribing them. You provide them. That's good. That's awesome. Well, it's good to have you back. And there's a reason, folks. We always like having Justin on. We don't care what the reason is.

But today's reason is important because something just launched and we're excited about it. So please tell us what's happening. Absolutely. So World's Greatest Khan is a podcast that I do with a fellow friend of the show, Brian Brushwood. He is the host and co-creator of that program. And we have what I believe to be our best season to date. And it's something that we worked really, really hard on

and spent a lot of time to tell a story that wasn't ours about Project Alpha. A thing that made national news, it was actually, it came to a head with a national television special back in 1983. Jeez. but never has the full story been told and we got to do it this season with the help of the two boys who did it Mike and Steve

the thumbnail on it is I mean you guys this is like your wheelhouse right this is like the late 70s how would you describe the belief of psychic phenomenon in the mid to late 70s oh man I mean I was just a little kid but if I had to guess, it was like at a fevered pitch, you know?

Yeah, and it was, we were ripe, we were a couple of years before the dawn of Miss Cleo and 976 numbers. But yeah, it was all about the fortune-telling and psychic friends network. Yeah, and that bled right into the 80s where when I was a kid, it felt like every night you had some infomercial about some lady who was going to read your feet and tell you what the deal was or whatever was going on there. And that's the thing is that there was a moment. In our opinion, we actually didn't even put this in the show, but this was something that we had talked about a lot, that like what happens between like men who stare at goats? Like the real idea that actual money was going into a military psychic research. And that first scene in Ghostbusters, when Bill Murray is doing a psychic experiment but is obviously there to bang the co-end. shocking the glee.

Because in one, it's a joke, right? He's a cad. It establishes character. But everybody knows it enough to know that it's not real, that it makes sense that he is doing that. But on this other side, we've got hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars that's being spent on the serious pursuit of psychics. And that indeed was the reality, especially in the late 70s, not only through the middle, A lot of the things that are the underpinnings of stranger things were real military investigations into finding child psychics.

And some of the things that were done to these children were awful and they didn't even get psychic powers at the end. And academia spent a lot of money on this. And one of these academic studies at Washington University in St. Louis was called the Mac Lab. It was called that because McDonald-Douglas Air Renautics Company put the money behind it, or at least the guy who was the scion of that family put the money behind it. $4 million in our modern

inflated currency went into that thing and two kids went in saying we are going to pretend we are psychic. If anyone ever asks us if we are psychic, we will give up the ghost immediately.

And they go for four years back and forth between that lab before it all comes calamitously to a gigantic and messy end. It makes the New York reported throughout scientific journals. And in our opinion, it is pretty much the end of at least academia taking these kinds of claims seriously on their face. How do you, as a team, find this stuff in the first place? like what is it you what is it you guys have to do to even unearth like oh my gosh did you hear about this study and where it all went and that did someone just know about it mentioned it in passing how much research does that take to just just the initial getting started

Project Alpha is kind of like the first one It's been a season we were working toward Pretty much since the first season Like as soon as it's like, okay, you're going to start off Let's start off hot, we're going to fool Hitler Okay, well, that's good You're not going to do better than fooling Hitler

So we need to show the audience That the show is not just about military history And Hitler's not going to be in every season So we did a second season about game shows and some of the crazy things that have happened there. Favorite season, yeah. Well, yeah, and that's like, we loved it, but I also love season two of the wire, right? So, like, I can understand some people who are one in their favorite because it's like, wait, hold on, you're the Hitler show. And now you're talking about crisis, right?

Yeah. And Bob Barker. But we had kind of put that season two there because we wanted to get to season three. We didn't want people to be looking for Hitler in a show that we knew was going to be kind of important. And the reason why we knew it was going to be important is that I've known about Project Alpha since I was a teenager because one of the players in this story is James the Amazing Randy, who I was the first intern for at his foundation in South Florida back when I was in high school. And I've known about the lore of Project Alpha. Brian has known

Banichick who is Steve, one of the boys in this story for decades now when they both used to work the college market and so he knew a little bit more about it what we knew we wanted to tell this story we didn't know if they wanted us to tell their story that was a little bit of a getting to know you phase for us and then

we didn't know what the story fully was And as we did our interviews with them, it kind of revealed itself to be something that was kind of the perfect World's Greatest Khan story, which if you've listened to the show, you know that what we don't like to do is fetishize the master con man, you know, the guy that figures out every little thing. And it's the Rube Goldberg, you know, Ocean's 11, like, oh, I pushed the Coke can and it fell down the stairs, which means it bunked the... lady who spilled her chicken and like you know there's always like those like big pains and things we don't like to do that and we don't like to celebrate people getting ripped off what we do like to do is understand our human frailty how we get fooled why we get fooled uh you know the reason why the slogan is cons don't fool us because we're stupid they fool us because we're human is to understand that there is an element here and and the story that we got with project alpha is not

only one about these guys effectively wasting four million dollars of money that was given to this lab, but more than anything about the human cost of these guys going in as teenagers thinking that they have a righteous goal to take down this ugly thing that is happening in the world. And then by the end of it, feeling really, really guilty that they're going to ruin the lives of people that they had eventually come to know as, if not friends, then father figures. Wow, that's wild to me. This whole story sounds amazing. And new episodes are out now, right?

A couple of them at least. First two episodes are out now. It explains to you, first episode explains to you the world. Because again, I mean, it's funny that you guys mentioned the psychic hotline stuff because I hadn't even thought about that. But it's like, by the time that we get to the psychic friends network, by the time that we get to the Miss Cleo stuff, psychic stuff, psychic stuff has kind of already been relegated to like the the amusement the the midway of our of our pop culture yeah you know circus right it was it was hey you know you want to spend your money go ahead but at this point and this is what we really have to spend a whole episode talking about is like this was taken deadly serious by the organizations the military and academia that we assume are the

ones taking things deadly serious and spoiler alert they weren't doing great experiments yeah that was a weird that was a time man well i'm glad somebody's out there shining a light on it and if you want to get this show where should they get it obviously anywhere they get podcasts but you know how do you want people to navigate this here's what we're doing number one and i know bless you all android people and all people for whom do not use apple podcast i don't use apple podcast no i understand I understand that when people say subscribe on Apple, it's annoying, and you're like, oh, but then I have to, so did I, all right? Go to Apple Podcasts, if you can, subscribe to the show, also subscribe on wherever you get your stuff and listen to it on there. What we are really asking everybody to do today, because in this kind of world where we don't put stuff out every once in a while, when we've got new episodes, things really kind of have to ramp up as fast as possible.

and the first 24 hours on this is absolutely crucial. So here's what I would ask, please, if you have the time today to listen to it, please do. If you like it, call if you can, if not text. Somebody that you know that would like this, whether it's because they grew up around there, they're into these kind of things. They would just really like the production or Brian or whatever.

Whatever the in is, we would greatly, greatly, greatly appreciate that you say that because in this game, if a couple hundred people do it, then the show is probably going to be a success, at least for our advertisers and stuff like that. If a thousand people are up do it, then we got a shot at like the top 200, top 100 of like all podcasts.

If more than that do it, boy, that'd be a sight to see. And we would greatly, greatly appreciate it. But obviously listen to it first and see if it's something that you want to recommend. Well, I can tell you, after listening to the first two episodes myself, it is very good. and you guys will be missing out if you don't give it a listen. It's really, really good stuff. And I think Justin's end of it is better than ever.

Dog and Pony Show, man. Look out. Watch out. Very cool. It's got horns on that bull, baby. Woo! We do it for the people. Do it for the people. Yeah, do it for the people.

Always the people. What do you guys do? Enough of me shilling my nonsense. No, we're just, you know, we're just stuff. We got Vegas in two weeks. We got stuff here going on, you know, busy, the busy business. What's your Vegas plan? What is, I mean, I know you guys are doing the programming,

but obviously, like, you know, you might have, like, a food situation or an attraction that you'd like to see. Brian, you want to... Yeah, we're doing so. I'm doing a much bigger task. Basically, it's our play on the Taskmaster game show from the UK. Okay.

And I'm giving Scott and Company a couple of tasks that they're going to be... They have to complete. We're going to watch the video on Talk to the Contestants on our big... Tuesday night main event. We're doing, of course, a live meet and greet. Well, everything's live, right? Because we're there.

Yeah, it's a lot of meet and greet, but followed by the high roller. It happened in 2018. That's right. That's right. Everybody's staying in your hotel rooms. We're going to connect via Zoom. It's all pre-recorded this year. Enjoy yourselves in Vegas.

We won't actually physically be there, but, you know. Getting the high roller, taking some folks to get the verbenas over at the cosmopolitan who haven't gotten to try that magical drink. I don't even know if I'm going to be participating because the taste changer drink. The electric buzzer flour. Yeah, that's pretty weird.

I'm going to go, we're going to go do the arcade competition again where last year I took a very slivery close second place and I'm not going to allow that to happen again. But Brian's competing this year and last year he didn't. Yeah, that's just hosting and managing. Actually, technically

I did compete, but I lost in the first round because I was too busy, like, running back and forth. I couldn't really devote the attention. Zoe took me out, if I remember correctly. Oh, no, Zoe took you out. I can't remember who took me out. Yeah. Maybe Kathy.

Oh, Kathy took me out. She rocked my world at the end. No, I took her out in the very last second. So I got all the way to last bracket, final game, and somebody's brother-in-law who's never been there before and didn't know who we were. He doesn't even listen to TMS, nothing. He does now. He's like a fan now, which is awesome.

We love it. But at the time, he didn't know nothing. He just came in there and rocked me and took the trophy. so he'll be there this year it'll be a real Drago meets Rocky thing I'm pretty

I don't know which one I am I guess I have to be the wider one so I'm Drago but anyway you would break him it's going to be fun but I'm I'm super jazzed for you in this new project I can always

hold on wait I want to go back to the high roller go yeah what do you guys have like a bounty for whatever manner of horrifying things that happen on the high roller that you guys might see while you're well who is it Chris Missouri seen yeah me

when you put people in a bubble who have been hanging out in Vegas and they can't have a bathroom for 45 minutes or whatever it takes to do the high roller bad things happen and they happen on a regular base you know what I'm glad you mentioned that because you just described the reason I don't do the high roller I ain't going up there Scott will not be going up there I ain't going up there

forget it uh there was several years ago before the first tms vegas there was kind of a an unofficial event called brian spends 24 hours in Vegas without a hotel room and i flew out there midday i think you were there scott for the first like you actually had a hotel room we've did the video game thing for a while and then i continued on with everybody else yeah right yeah you were there for another 40 or i guess another 24 hours or something like that other 24 hours we did top golf if folks want to look up uh this adventure for brian on the wikipedia it's also listed for foreign markets as cry for help. That's right. There you go. Nailed it.

The first step is admitting that I have a problem. So around midnight, maybe there were six or seven left of us. And along with Mizzul and a couple other people, we decided to go to the high roller. And we got our tickets. And a few people said, well, I've got to go to the bathroom before we get on the drinky car. So I stayed in the lobby. Everybody else went into the bathroom. One by one, they all came out of the bathroom with the same horrified.

looked on their face and recounted the story of this guy shirt on everything else off furiously what's that? Pull Winnie the Pooh. Yeah, Winnie the Pooh.

Scrubbing his pants in the sink in the high roller bathroom with a total mess left in one of the stalls that he just did not make it in time out of the high roller. That's amazing. But he didn't go in the in the room or in the high roller itself did he did he did i think he did and his first run out of the as soon as he

left that pod was to the high roller bathrooms oh my gosh dude how could you be in that pod with him and not want to just freaking die that's a nightmare i mean i doubt i mean unless it's a very specific crew like i don't think they were like what an amazing time right yeah shame for the rest of his life i'm hoping everybody who were who was in that pod got a uh ticket to come back and write the high ruler again at another time. Knowing Vegas these days, they probably didn't. They probably got charged a cleaning phase. Yeah, that's true.

You're probably paying for that where that price you're going there for. But anyway, yeah, we'll be doing some of that. I'll be down to the bottom probably with Chris hanging out, just looking at it. That's what we did last year. She'll be down there with you. She doesn't like Ferris wheels of any sort. Yeah. I don't like heights and I don't like people shitting in pods for 45 minutes.

Turns out those two things. I'm 50-50 on that, but I'll leave it to the audience of imagination. Yeah, let them guess. Look for season four of World's Greatest Con. It can be who shit in the pod. Yeah, who shit in the pod with Justin Rorying. I'm very excited about it.

That's right. Justin, we love having yons. Great to hear about this. And I wish nothing but the best for this. We'll be playing the trailer on the show as well so people can get a little taste of it toward the end of the show. So check that out. Anything else you want to Pimperman? or say?

No, it's great to hear your guys' voice and I'd like to come on. We should just have a thing where I just come on where I'm not shilling. I don't always want to have a hat in hand. We would if there was something going on in the world of

politics. It's been so dull and boring. There's nothing really. I don't know. Yeah, we'll come up with some excuses and get you here more often. There's a great story in New York magazine today written by the great

Olivia Nuzzi, who she went down and interviewed Stormy Daniels, and it ends with the writer, the reporter on this. He's a great writer and reporter. Just being semi-convinced

that Stormy Daniels is communicating with spirits and one of them has infected her dream. What? That is a little reading tidbit.

and the cover story of the most recent New York magazine about Stormy Daniels. Oh, my gosh. A woman, a spirit may or may not have infected the dreams of the reporter of the front page story. Oh, my gosh. That is insane. All right. Well, see what we've been missing out on you guys? They don't know.

At least say that you can't laugh anymore. No, you know. Yeah. It's always a culture war and a woke girl boss and a Nazi to ruin it. No. We're still laughing. knee slapping over here. There's some real knee slapping happening in Austin, Texas right now, and

we're glad to have you. Justin Robert Young, everybody. Take it easy. We'll see you soon. Bye. Hey, guys. See, buddy. There he goes. There was rumor. There was talk. I didn't bring this up, but there was talk that he maybe was going to show up in Vegas. That may still happen. Oh, cool.

I don't know. It'll be like a surprise thing if that happens at all. Yeah. But we'll have to wait and see. Hey, Brian. Oh, love that. Yes. Let's move on to this, which is nothing. We're done with the show. We're going to go now.

I was looking at our show, and it's like, oh, we're moving on too. You know what I'll do? I'll go ahead and share this now. Why not? You want to see the paper plate my mom, or I apologize to my mom on? The apology on a paper plate, yes. Yeah, let's just do it.

Here you go. You served her up an apology on a plate. I did. Served it right up on a plate. Check this out. It's a humble pie. I'll put it up for the chat. Dear mom, I am sorry if I caused you any pain.

I love you very much. If it weren't for you, look at the way I did, weren't. If it weren't for you, I would not be here. Love Scott. P.S. is the best part. Don't cry. On a paper plate of all freaking things. Oh, that's so sweet.

You know what? It must have been like in a barbecue or something, like in a, you know. I must. I don't know. I mean, who knows where I'm, I didn't know idea where my head was out when I was that age. But here's another one. Here's a little note. I do love the fact that you spell weren't just like you spell.

say it. I know, I say it like weren't. You should see how I spent weight, wait back then. Here's another one when I was about 10. It says, has my name on it for some reason. Dear mom and dad, I had an assignment. Look at the way I spelled a sign. Uh-huh. A assignment. That I lost it or that I lost and it was due today. So I had to write you this note. Right is spelled R-I-G-H-T. so you're supposed to imagine how that's spelled help me learn responsibility at school oh i love it oh i love the uh like the supposed to becomes a word like its own its own six seven letter word it's supposed to i'll do one more this is from this is almost like another apology but i left a note on my mom's door she says where i row i wrote mom and i'm 11 it says scott age 11 at the top she says mom mom

I will take my shower tomorrow. Look how I spelled that. Uh-huh. At 7. P.S. The water's cold and I'm tired. Why is it? Why are you screaming the word mom at the top of this?

And then I like that all the, uh, nice, nice job on the center justification though, by the way. Yeah, you like that? It's tough to do because you don't know how big you're going to write the word shower. And you still did it really well. Yeah, it's surprising. My typology, pretty on par, my spelling.

And, and if you wouldn't. have spelled tomorrow correctly, it would have been far too far to the right to be center justified. Yeah, for sure. I mean, I clearly struggle as a kid, but spelling. I struggle with it now, but I was going to say, as a kid, yeah. I mean, I get all the basics done, but if you say, hey, Scott, quickly type the word, irresponsibility, that word? Sure. I'm probably going to get it wrong. I'm going to whip it out. And then the little red highlight will highlight it, and then I will use the cheat of the last 20 years to correct it. You know, as somebody who I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a big spelling, and not really spelling Nazi, but I'm like a big proponent of spelling.

It is such a bummer that it is so, I don't know, being a good speller is less important these days because of the advent of the little jagged red line. Yeah, for sure, right? Because you just can, you don't need it. And it bumps me out because, you know, I've worked so hard on, I was in spelling bees as a kid. I was like, you know, what we should do sometimes is do a game where it's called can Brian spell it? we pull somebody in the chat room, you give me some really ridiculous long word. I'll even put on a blindfold. Let's do it.

Let's see if I can spell it. I'm going to prepare something so you don't know what it is. Give me some really goofy words, some really crazy words and see if I can do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. Cool. All right. Well, there you go, everybody. That's going to do it for today's show. I would like to remind you, you know, Brian's right about the MS-150. Please give if you can. Please.

Yes. If you can, go listen to Justin's show, so they get some views. and their advertisers are happy. By the way, right now, there's a bit of an advertiser floor kind of fell out of it in February for a lot of people. Oh, really?

A lot of people cutting budgets back, and it's across the board, like YouTube ads are way down. Everybody's down in the ad market, just the way it is. So that would really help them. And what would really help us is you joining our Patreon

for very little money. Like the cheapest of all these options we've mentioned, this is the one. Patreon.com slash TMS for low as a dollar a month. You could get in, and that means you'll get no commercials ever. you get pre-show content every day. You can be part of our couch parties and playdates on the weekends.

By the way, put video up for the last. Oh, did it stay up? So far, so good. Nice. I don't even want to give away where I did it, even though it's obvious once you see it. But I just don't want any bad karma from it. No, no, nicely done. So far, no pull-down.

Anyway, so that's going on. You'll get art in the mail, some of those levels. And there's other great monthly benefits you can only get by joining us at patreon.com slash TMS. And I noticed in the last few days, even though we lost a few last month, people busy, got stuff to pay for. I get it. Sure. But we had some people step up and up their pledges, which makes a giant difference. Huge thanks to all of them. You guys are amazing. We understand times are tough and especially tax month right now, like thinking of, oh, crap, how much am I going to owe or am I going to get any money back? You've got five days. Better get

Eventually penetration. We're looking forward to it. Pretty much. Yeah, exactly. So you let us know. I mean, you know, Vegas is only two weeks away. Let us know about how you like it. Do you have a preference?

Let us know. Okay. Brian's taking care of the tail in there that I mentioned, and then the rest of the I'll do. Well, that's an interesting way of phrasing that, Scott. Yeah, that is. Now that I think about it. Anyway, we love it if you did. So please do patreon.com slash TMS for everything else, frogpants.com slash TMS.

We're going to get out of here now, but we have to play a song to do that. So do you have one that we can do that with. I do, 50 bucks is a prostate check.

problem is the um we've created some of the best production in a podcast thanks to bobby and hammond and the work that they put on listening to hours of of content and figuring out how to parse it all down to something that's both concise but entertaining. It's just a matter of all that time. And figuring out, speaking of sponsors, figuring out ways to make all that time get paid for for Bobby and Hammond. Less for me. I don't care.

There. Classic. It's 1981. Two boys are sitting at a table in St. Louis. These two are the subject of a scientific study that's going to change the world. Businesses, governments, and militaries all around the globe are spending millions of dollars to search for it. But these boys have it.

When the lab finally publishes what these boys have done, the staff will forever be remembered for finally capturing the impossible. Because these boys are psychic. They could bend metal, stop clocks, short-circuit machines, all with their minds. They do it on command, and they do it under supervision by some of the smartest people on the planet. But of course, we know cons don't fool us because we're stupid. They thought they were too smart to be full. We all want to believe there's real magic.

Cold War paranoia, the arrogance of academia, righteous rage from teenagers all collide in a multi-year deception. Well, kids, we don't know any about it. We have no clue.

The trick may have been done at 3.15. He's got two guns in there. They have cocked ready to fire. I fear that he believes we ruined part of his life. For the first time ever, these two boys, now men,

reveal the untold behind-the-scenes story. Exactly how it happened, why they did it, and what the consequences were that changed their lives forever. This season on World's Greatest Con, everyone will finally know the truth of Project Alpha and it all starts April 10th Can you tell us how do you do it?

I'll do it be quite honest we cheat Dog and Pony Show Audio
