Soon car power loop if heart gas stilt, gelt chel, ex parte, effects beyond guipostob. A giant chip. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for May 3rd, 2023. So we got a 5.3. That's not as cool. Yeah, it's nothing.

I know you want to make something out of you. You can't make anything out. No. Every time there's a two or a three, I get excited, but it's not. Yeah, yeah. Five-23-23. Then you can celebrate. We'll be doing the show.

That'll be a. Tuesday. Later this month, 5-2-3-2-3. That's pretty good. Pretty good. Is free comic book day today? Was that today? No, it's Saturday. It's this weekend. Okay. Oh, yeah, of course. It's always the first Saturday in May. Oh, I know why I'm thinking of that, because I think I'm putting up our prints today. That's what's going on. Oh, cool. So, yeah, I don't have a link for you yet, folks, but the yearly tradition since 2012 that me and Carter do,

a free comic book day print. This year, it's Villains at the Beach. That'll be up today, I think. If not today, certainly by this weekend, but I'll let you know. I'll keep you in the know. Yeah, I always like doing it. It's fun. You know, it's a fun time. Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah, you sent me like a bunch of texts all around that.

And so initially I missed those. And when you said, no, I sent them to you, I scrolled back and saw them. Like, oh, these are so good. They're so good. They're pretty fun. Real quick here, before I forget, because that reminds me of something. There's a bunch of you in our extended little friendship ring. where we send or we're supposed to send you your swag only for Vegas

because you couldn't come but you ordered the swag only and we've been boxing that up all week. I've pictures of this giant stack of boxes and they are leaving. They're all being sent out. So some of you will see yours probably at the end of the week because you're not too far. Some of you a little bit later, but they're all leaving. So if you're hoping for an update on that, that's the deal. You're getting them.

They're on their way. They're on their way. Some good stuff in there. Really good stuff. Yeah, that challenge coin's pretty cool. Camping mug. Yeah, the camping mug's great. You don't have to go camping even.

Just use it in regular life, you know? Wait, do the people who just bought swag, they do get a challenge coin? Yes. So when we started. I didn't know if there was enough. Okay, good. Yeah, we only had, I think we only had three people who couldn't get coins because they were sold out. But these were ones that were sold before at the same time the other ones were.

So this was just part of that order. So, yeah, you guys are all good on the challenge coin. Cool, cool. And you're all good on. the other stuff in there you're going to love it uh thanks for your support it helped make the event go speaking of that uh-huh uh we didn't put in our show notes but i'm here to remind you i am here to remind you of the prize we got that we gave away oh man that was pretty good that was all right it's pretty good you you you ought to announce it that was a jagged pill

right just then that you just did it was a very jagged bitter little pill Bitter as well. Yeah, so an anonymous donor in our little Tadpool family reached out to me and said, hey, I want to give away some prizes. Number one, I want to give away some steam cards. And those all went to the final four winners of our arcade tournament. And those winners were our big winner, Barry, who took everything, took the full prize. He beat Kathy Hopkins, aka Cheezy G, at a game of G.

Yeah, freaking Gorff. What even is Gorff? I don't even know how to describe. How is Gorff formed? Yeah, Gorff is formed by jamming eight different arcade games together and hoping for the best. That's so weird. Let's see. Also, Jacob, who is the proprietor of the locust cider distillery here in Denver, Colorado, where we've had a Denver-Tadpool meetup, he's awesome.

and so he got one of those cards. And I'm trying to remember who got the fourth. Who was our fourth final four person? Oh, it was Duomi. Dwayne Coil, I believe. Oh, my lord. I think that's right. Stretching my brain to remember if it was Dwayne Coal.

Dwayne, Duomie. You know this reminds me of? I was reading a thing yesterday. It was this scientific article about how one of you guys sent it us how you can only manage you can only manage 150 total relationships in your life which is which is only slightly less than the number of friends you can have in Pokemon Go right very interesting parallel like those Neantic guys they know what they're doing they know what's up those ding don't exactly but anyway congratulations to those four people so they got the cards the steam

$50 steam cards that um this anonymous donor uh contributed they wanted to do something even more and so they came up with a $250 cash prize. Hey, pay all of your expenses for a trip to Vegas as long as all of your expenses are less than $250. Right on. So we had to pull from names of people who actually attended. We had somebody who went and, well, you had somebody whose name was on the list who won,

but was not there and never responded. Never responded to email anything, no. So we ended up going. with who, Brian, who won? Well, that would be our friend, Shave Maddox, or Shane Maddox, as he also is known by. Congratulations. He won. He won. He won the thing. He won. He celebrated by pulling out his phone and taking a 360-degree selfie.

Yeah, very slowly, though. Really slow. With a very stoic look on his face as he did it. No expression. Just sort of stare at it as if it's, I don't know, bedroom eyes or something. It's really weird. And honestly, wow, shit. I'm sorry. That's not supposed to play, sorry. Because he played craps, so he started with 20 bucks. He didn't listen to any of my advice. He just poked buttons, poke shiny things on the screen, and he walked away with

$380 bucks. Like his own method of never playing craps before sitting down at that machine, maybe slightly drunk, and just going, beep, boop, boop, boop. He's a lot forever in his favor. I find him to be an enigma a little bit in our community. A little bit. Yeah, not in a bad or weird way, but in like that guy is running on his own steam. He's in his own little space. Nothing can sway him from his appointed rounds or something about him.

That's right. And hear me out, hear me out, if you look at his eyes, just his eyes side by side, same eyes as Bradley Cooper. Oh, shit. Yeah, he's got Bradley Cooper eyes. All right. Shane, get us a photo quick. Just like that, just like that old Kim Carnes song. He's got Bradley Cooper eyes.

They should update that song every decade for a prominent new person. Yeah. You know, because nobody remembers Betty Davis anymore. Right, that would be a good song to update. I'd be like that. I agree. Well, that's awesome. Gratz to him.

He deserves it. Yes. And, you know, he won randomly. So I don't know why he deserved it. But he won't. Well, congrats to his randomness. There's one more thing that I wanted to mention in here that came up yesterday and people asked us to mention it on the show.

Sure. We are in the, in the Frog Pants Discord. We know that you guys all like getting together, you know, on your own without us. in your region. Sometimes he can't make it to TMS Vegas or any of these other big meetups, but you want to go and do a meetup on your own. We actually have some channels in the meetups section of FrogPans, the Frog Pan Central Discord, that allow you to gather and do your own damn thing.

Yep. So there's one for Denver, there's one for Utah, there's one for Phoenix, there's one for the big Southeast meetup that's being planned right now. If there are other big ones, let us know, and we'll add a channel for it. These are temporary channels that will disappear. Poof, once your meetup is over, but then if you have another meetup, then we'll... Then we put them back in, yeah. They're just going to be...

They'll just kind of flow like that. TMS, Vegas chat will stay always because it's just kind of a regular thing. Because that's the big, big thing. Yeah, but we change... And I start planning that one a month after I... After I finish the last one. Yeah, you got to get off that bike after your MS-150 before you do any of that. Yeah, exactly.

But anyway, it's cool because we also have a group that will keep up in perpetuity called Meetup Photos. This was formerly TMS Vegas Photos, but it's just photos from all your meetups. Just get in there and put them in. We'd love to see what kind of good time you're having, even if it's just a dumb little, like, three of you to coffee shop and off to see a movie later. Whatever, we don't care. Right. We don't care. Come on.

Perpetuity. Yeah, perpetuity. I like that word a lot. Perpetuity. I got a text that's super important that we read. Please deal Here comes This is from

That was weird Why did that play that way Hold on Oh it's cut short It's very weird All right There's an update Fargo

I think something's up Anyway This is one from Micah From Syracuse New York I assume Not Syracuse Utah Because there is one here Anyway

Good morning Burger and Shake This is a grimace This is the grimace topic We had Yeah you gotta love it I was listening To your conversation

yesterday about grimace. By the way, you can tell this person did a voice dictation here because there's a bunch of periods where they don't belong. It's weird. It actually feels like they were sending me a telegraph. I was listening. Stop. To your conversation yesterday about grimace. Stop. And it always strikes me. Stop. Ironic. Stop. Anyway, that they, sorry, that even though his name is grimace, period, which by definition is a face for period, something gross or disturbing period he always seems to have period a happy go lucky smirk on his face period have a great day period mike are from syracuse yeah no this is the thing with grimace he's he you know what it's a little like discord discord is a word that means upset messed up

shit that's right and i'm sure there's a disarray it's meant to be like that kind of word it's derisive but you go in there at least in ours anyway and it's not like that at all there's no discord in there right well and and um i can't speak to discord but the original grimace as we learned during our deep dive had uh four arms and was evil and so i think that's what like you know grimace uh was he the living embodiment of a milkshake or something yeah that's what they said is a living embodiment of a milkshake which still to this moment makes no sense to me but whatever yeah but his uh original design was to be the evil counterpart to Ronald McDonald's opposed to Ronald McDonald's best buddy ever.

Yeah, his best pal, his good friend. All right, now I got a question about text before we call down away and get that going. I don't understand this. So something happened the other day where I got a text out of nowhere that just says, can I say this on the... Oh, yeah, it's another name for cat. Yeah, I'll just say it.

Everyone prepare yourselves for it. This came from some number I didn't recognize, and it just says it was a Friday at 10 a.m. in the morning, and then the text was, was I driving that day? It might have been. No, that was Thursday. Anyway, here's the single name. It just says, pussy bitch,

which I thought, oh, someone got my numbers being a jerk or whatever. I didn't know who it was. So I wrote back and I said, sorry, comma, just regular bitch. Okay, I thought I was being funny. Well, since then, there's no way these two things aren't connected. No way. He never replied, but I have been getting inundated, deluged, if you will. What's another word?

Illuged is good. Swamped. That's good enough. Those words are good. From these metro transit alerts. Oh, sure. That are from some other place in the country, like Virginia or something. so I'm getting like okay so check this one out

no a oh see this isn't even the transit thing NOAA fisheries updated adjustment for recreational daily retention limit for Atlantic bluefin tuna and then a link to some Google thing and then I got one that says Metro transit alert rapid ride F lane trip to Burden TC scheduled for something no delays blah blah so it's just constant

all day like notifications and I have here's my so herein lies the question yeah i've deleted and reported spam on every one of these yeah they still right there in an iphone that says delete and report yeah and they're still here they still keep coming i don't know how to stop it i freaking hate it though yeah yeah and somebody's i don't think they i don't know if it's related but it might be it certainly might be i've been getting inundated with a lot of those lately too so i think it's just a you know they had their their convention hey uh all right Welcome to the spam text convention.

Thank you guys all for coming. Big thanks to our keynote speaker, Martin Schrelli. We're here to talk about some new. We know it's May 1st. Let's really get out there and really push these spam texts. I've been getting them crazy the last couple days soon. You're probably right. There was some kind of agreement.

And now it's all gone to hell. Because all mine are, hi, it's USPS. We couldn't deliver your package. If you click here, we'll help deliver your package. yeah uh-huh sure you you got me there i also get a lot of netflix where they go something's come up with your netflix account and we've had to temporarily suspend it until you reply to us and to figure out what the hell's going on i'm like well that's hilarious because as you sent me this message i'm right in the middle of watching uh better call sol final

season on netflix so apparently you're full of shit and i don't have to reply to this but anyway i don't know what's going on i feel like somebody got my number and gave it to somebody but if you're seeing an uptick i'm seeing them too yeah If other people are doing that, then maybe there's just a thing, you know. I don't know how to get on. Yeah, and there's something that is, at least with AT&T, I don't know which carrier you're on, but I'm on AT&T. And I think that there's something you can do that increases the blockage of questionable. Can I do it through the phone or is it thing I have to call them about or, do you know?

I think you can do it through, if you log in online, I think you can do it. Maybe not. All right. I'm going to figure it out. It's just to irritate me because every one of these numbers it comes from, you know, from so here's this isn't even a real number 468 311 that's not a number no so and then the very next one is like 468 312 it's like they've got this weird bank of like fake bold crap there's there's those numbers you can use just for texting right like it says uh if you want a transcript

of today's program send a transcript to 50391 you know there's you can get you can do those little short numbers as long as they're used for text only oh I didn't know that I thought they had to be number numbers all right well who knows I I don't fricking know, dude. I'm irritated, though. It's bugging me. Trying to, you know, trying to look at the, what's the silver lining? The silver lining is that I've gone.

Those are people you'll never have to commit to your 150 friends. Boom. That's the, that's the silver landing. And hearing, by the way, reading that study made me feel better because I have, as of late, especially lately, been really hard to remember people's names. I'm just bad at it. Like, I see their face. I'm like, shit, I know your name.

Why don't I know? And I think it's, again, it's my whole marbles thing. Maybe it's been true the whole time. You put a marble in this end of the straw, and a marble pops out the other end. There goes that marble. Up, and I can go find that marble, pick it up and jam it back in. But that marble on the other side, poop. It's going to poop out the other side.

It's difficult at TMS Vegas when we, you know, we see some of these people every year. And it's like, oh, my God, I know your face. I'm blanking, I think I know you by your avatar name, but I can't remember your real name. it's Logan okay Logan how you doing Logan so yeah I'm I I try to do my best and I know I fail and maybe it's an emphasis thing because my wife can do this no problem

faces and names no problem she's all good but try to get her to tell you the name of an actor or what movie they were in or what year that movie came out she can't do any of that but I'm really good at that so maybe I'm wasted at the years Scott true yes yes but I can usually

that one woman she was in the movie with the car that spun around in a circle oh yeah but i can usually get there by going um so-and-so's mom and other thing you know like i can get there eventually but the point is like i've spent so much brain power on that that i didn't leave enough for the real flesh and blood people in my life and that's a bummer yes we've our brains are full of i mdb and not enough white pages that is the freaking truth um all right let's get done away in here and uh yeah have some fun oh my god this is going to be a fun one and Please allow a lot of time for your answers that did not make the cut.

Yeah. I think that sounds great. Oh, look, we already have a fourth person. How is this possible? Okay, well, I'll add them now so we can get them in. So here they come. Hopefully that rings. And when it does, we'll hit this button here, which is this button.

Come on, Scott. There we go. Hey, you guys, check it out. It's time for us to play a little babble royale. Excuse me, Tad Pooley Feud. We do it on Wednesdays, and we bring Brian Dunaway in for this stuff. Hi, Brian Dunaway. How are you?

Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Hi. How is your Wednesday? Yeah, well, you know, it's better now, Brian, that you're here. How's your hump doing? I've held off on humping until you get here is what the deal is. All right. That's how that's gone.

Toro. We also have on the line with us, Art and Chicken. Art and chicken are you there? Hello, Art and Chicken. Art and Chicken. Hello? We hear people in the kitchen. Yeah, you might be on the stream.

Maybe making chicken. Listen, yeah, hi. Can you hear us on your phone? You probably have the stream going too, and it's confusing. Yeah, mute the stream. Sorry, it's weird the way this works. It's good to have you here. You like radio?

Yeah, that whole... Like radio has for 50 years. Yeah, but it's worse on the internet because it's like 20 seconds or something. It's like a weird. thing yeah anyway art and chicken welcome what can we call you better than art and chicken i mean my actual name's jacob we'll call you jacob oh i like that name it's a nice name oh hi jacob it's very biblical you know you're gonna stab your brother or something wasn't that the deal i don't know how it goes uh if i had one i don't know we'd have to see yeah we'll just have to see

uh welcome to the show we're gonna play a game you're here to play it brian's gonna explain it we're going to see if you can't win a little something to on the way. So, Brian, take it away. It's time to play the tadpooly, sometimes spelled with any, sometimes not feud. I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics. And Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us. It's their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Jacob, your job, your cobb, your call is more important than ever.

Please continue to hold. Your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. If your team wins, you get a prize package. that includes Orbital Racer and Flynn, son of Crimson. Two games provided to us by Rodney and David Akers. Rodney Larson and David Akers, thank you guys for your contributions to our game library. That Flynn game, probably not a Tron sequel or anything, right? Probably not, since I don't know if Jeff Bridges' character was a son of crimson.

I kind of hope he was. All right, well, that sounds good. Those are both good, by the way, great games. I don't know about Flynn, but the other one, the Orbital Racer, very good game. It's very good. Yeah. Cool. All right, well, let's get to it.

If you guys are ready, put your hands on your buzzers. We asked, how many? 243 Tadpoolers. By the way, please go fill out the Tadpool survey. It is pinned in the Discord. It's pinned in the Facebook. I believe Jeannie's got it pinned everywhere. It can be pinned.

Yeah. Heads on your buzzers. What's your favorite spell? in Dungeons and Dragons. Magic Magic Missile. Show me your magic missile. Number two.

Number two answer on the board. Yeah, you can beat it, dude. You can beat it. Better than Magic Missile. I will clarify, too. There's a little bit of parenthetical. I did say, if you don't play D&D, just make up a spell. Yeah.

So. Okay. But, uh, yeah, you could do that if you have to. Guardian Levioso. No. Oculus Repair us. Uh-huh. No.

That's a meta does of your Quest 2 breaks. You got this. What? Nothing. I'm making a terrible joke. Go ahead. Continue. It was bad.

It was bad. It was bad. It was very bad. Yeah. Can I? Yeah, you can go. It's your turn. Hold on.

Before you do, I'm moving us to Central. I think he has lag. Okay. We've moved to Central. All right. Go ahead. Warmer in here. I'm going to go.

to heal, cure wounds kind of thing. Cure wounds, sure. Healing word, cure wounds, that sort of thing. All right. Show me anything that makes you feel a little bit better. Seventh answer on the board. You get some points for that, but Scott gets control and also gets control of Jacob. So Scott and Jacob, you guys are going to be working together on this.

All right, Jacob, it's on us, man. Eight answers, still on the board. What's your favorite spell? d and d anything jump to your head there jacob um don't i'm not too familiar of dn d so does make up something i guess um fireball fireball that's a real thing fireball is good i like fireball good yeah i totally forgot about fireball do not here's the thing though it depends a little bit of cider actually it's really good i'll bet here's the thing though don't your your dm it depends on how nice your dm is because if you accidentally say Fireball

and you meant Firebolt and he doesn't correct you, you might wipe out your whole team because Fireballs a little more powerful than Firebolt. But yes, I like Fireball a lot. All right, Fireball. Fireball!

Show me Fireball! Number one answer on the board. Well done. Nicely done. Jeez, that way you do it. I was thinking Presta Digitate's got to be on here. Presta Digitiation. He's like saying that.

Yeah. That's a fun one. People like that one. All right. All right. Show me, I have to say it like it's a, what is that? Diplomatic community. Press the digitization.

All right. Show me press the digitization. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I like this. I like where this is going. Yeah, this is, you guys are working your way through the board very well. Didn't everybody spell that correctly or do you have to like lump in?

I had to lump in several different spellings of presidigitation. Yeah, you know the tadpole pretty well done away. That's a wise statement by you. Listen, I had to correct a few fireballs, too. There's no word that the tadpole can't eff up. Fireball? Really? Wow.

Yeah. I'm not sure I could spell press to digitate, so don't feel bad everybody. All right. Let's see here. Jacob, what have we got? Anything pop for you in your head? Is there like a Oh, there's like a healing one on there already

Yeah, we got a healing one Um We could do Oculeus appears Let's see So healing work Curion's all together There's

Sort of like A defensive move You could do a Petronus You know, kind of Oh Disse There's disengaged Not really a spell though

Oh, yeah Um I mean, it is, but it isn't. You know what? Let's wing it. Disengage. It's a thing you do all that time, but I don't know if they're going to the tadpooled Sam, but we'll do it.

All right. Number one, disengage. Disengage. No, there is no disengage. What was that on? Let's see if that was on the thing, on the stuff. On the stuff? On the stuff, no, there was no disengage.

You know why? Because it just hit me. It's an action, not a spell. That's an action, right. Yeah, duh. All right, Dunaway. Your turn to steal. Steed.

Well, it seems like I get, every spell I think of, I'm like, no, that's Harry Potter. Because I'm thinking, you know, there's like, sleep, poppies, sleep. There's got to be a sleep spell, right? It's like, you got to get the, you got to get the, you got to get the monster to sleep. So I'm going to go, a sleepy time spell. Yeah. Yeah. All right, very good.

Show me sleep. Oh, man. It does exist. Yeah, a couple people said it. Did not make the top 10, but we did have, yeah. When I was playing TWD, or when we were playing, there will be dungeons. I cast sleep for the first time in my life, actually. I never played a sorcerer before.

And I ended up killing, like, two people with it by accident. Two of your party? No, no, they were just. They were just innocent, like, folks. but the problem was I put them to sleep while they were like on a balcony. They were driving the car. Yeah, this stuff.

It's hilarious. It kind of was like that. I love a good. Yeah, it was really embarrassing. Early on is like the first season or first few episodes. Oh, look at these two fire jugglers. How cool they are. Sleep.

Another popular one would probably be Dispel Magic. This came up while I was working on dungeon murder and we were doing playtesting in Vegas. Somebody said you can't dispel you can't just keep dispelling magic it's like a one-off because the other guy can't go

well yeah well I'll dispel your magic of dispelling your magic yeah which helped me actually with a mechanic and some text I thought there was only one to spell magic card in there now oh there's only one uh it's rebuke rebuke yeah there's actually two rebukes

but the way the rebukes work is somebody else could have one and now the rule is and we just didn't have a set rule for it but the idea was if I do rebuke can I rebuke your rebuke if I have that card And the answer is, so it's kind of like, it's kind of like a rebirth in Uno. Yeah, a little bit. And the answer is no.

I mean, you can use it once. You cannot rebuke a rebuke. Anyway, let's say, I rebuke a rebuke. Dispel magic is our. Dispel magic. Show me, dispel magic. Damn.

Surprisingly, no. Just out of the top 10, Dispell magic was, no, I guess it's further down, tied for 25th place. Okay. Damn it. That's a good one.

I promise. you, there are some actual spells in this list. Yeah, yeah. Like, you know, healing. I'm always thinking about, you know, how we get past this monster. I usually would, like, I would usually do a sleep like Scott would do,

but he didn't have luck with it. What if I, what if I tried to, you know, to put some, get some love potion number nine and charm that puppy, what would happen? Can I do some charm spells? Charm, sure, charm. All right. Yeah, yeah. Love potion number nine. This is exactly how I play D&D

And D, by the way. Yeah, I can tell. Show me, hey, girl, charm. No, no charm. That's America. That's a shame. It's a real shame. Not even at all in the list, surprisingly.

Nobody. Really? Yeah, nobody said charm. Hey, well, I'm going to get off the, most people must not be doing this stuff with the monsters then, because that's all I know how to do. What's the one, Jacob, do you know the one where, oh, no, the YouTube died apparently.

Oh, I'll fix it. Something's up with my ISP. It'll let me reconnect, so. But while we're doing that, Jacob, what do you feel about, like, turning stuff into animals? What's that called, though? Oh, that's good. Transmorp-morphification. Transmorph.

What is it? And, like, in World of Warcraft, it's called something specific. Polymorph. That's what I'm thinking of. Where you turn it, like, into a sheep or whatever, right? all right well this is weird I love how quiet it is

like I'm not giving you tips I'm not giving you anything I mean I don't blame you let's go with let's try polymorph that's a fun one because you turn stuff of the shit

you know let's let's do that all right polymorph poof and now you're sheep show me polymorph yeah number eight

good job now we're moving points now are moving well I don't have a brilliant idea after this stream's still shitty isn't it

hold on let me see if I can let me do this real quick I'm in a pause actually a lot better still having some leg pain but I've been getting out on the bike I've been exercising stretching you think all that wandering around Vegas did

do it good for you in the end no more than walking around Denver I mean I didn't really do anything strenuous or or anything more than just doing some walking and I do that here as well I didn't do my regular stretches because I didn't bring all the damn

yoga mat and straps and pillows and things that I have to use for my stretches here I didn't take those with me to Vegas but sure sure well that was a perfect story and length because now we're at full speed again so perfect

whatever the hell that was no idea what happened there sorry chat the nice thing about YouTube is it reconnected to the same stream so we don't have separate vods after this it's nice that's good uh all right uh the the where were we oh gosh you had uh given me polyborph and you were working on another answer um how about oh uh well there was one that got used all the time what do we call that though uh john used it constantly and there will be dungeons um Oh, Eldridge

Bolt? No, that's not right. Eldridge Blast. That's the one. Eldridge Blast. The blast of Eldridge. Blast. That's the one.

A 1D10 force to an orcs crutch. All right, let's get to it. Here's, let's show us Eldridge Blast. Yeah. Number three, popular one.

People love the Eldridge Blast. Man, did you come on a great day of Jacob. Look at a. just rocking this joint. Although I shouldn't say that. We only have a strike left. I know.

Points wise, yeah, exactly. You've got one strike left, but... How about... Do you have any others that are jumping to your head? Well, pretty much my only experience at D&D is the first season of the Adventure Zone. Yeah.

So, I'm going to jump on my head. I don't know if it would be on here. I don't know how many Adventure Zone listeners are. Tedpores, but... Yeah. On the truth. What is it called? Tome of Truth?

Okay. Tome of truth. Tome of truth. Oh, Zone of truth. Oh, Zone of truth. Sorry, Zones. Don't get it. Yeah, let's do it.

It's like Wonder Woman's lasso, basically. Zone of truth. I like zones of truth. Let's do that. I prefer to spend my time in zones that are truthful. So this is good. Let's do it. Show me something you're not going to see on Fox News.

The Zone of Truth. I'm taking into Fox News in the middle of Tadpilly Fuse. Right. All right. Let's see. Lower thinking here. They're kind of being specific with some of this stuff. They are, yes.

Last. These guys are some hard for. Yeah. Any two answers will tie or take the win, but you have to have two, and you've only got one strike left. Morph. Let's see, this is all attacks. make the win is what Steve Wynn said to his wife when they got divorced

do you like that joke do you like that in the Vegas joke it was Steve Wynn was at his divorce Oh take the win I like that Yeah and she says fine I'll have that casino And now they amicably break up See that's what they did Yep well done yes

Vegas jokes And then he said I'm gonna go ruin this painting By handling it as poorly as I show it off to somebody Oh yeah that guy What a turd Anyway sorry done away That's right Four answers left on the board, Brian.

What do he got? That's okay. You were stalling good for me because I'm trying to remember there's, was it, stop from dying. What is it, was it called? Oh. Is it spare? Spare from dying.

Is that it? I don't want to die. Rescue, rescue from dying. I don't know. What is it called? Is it, is it, I spare for dying. Okay. Spare from dying.

Okay. Or anything related to that, right? Like, there you go. Yes. Please, any, keep from dying. Okay, cool. Yeah, because they're almost dead. Don't do it.

Don't die. Show me some form of reanimation, scroll of reanimation, reanimate. Don't die on me. Don't die on me. Don't die on me. You never gave up on anything your whole life. Don't die on me now. Oh, come on. No healers, no healers in this group at all because I thought, well.

No, just healing word to your wounds was our only healing. Well, this is good. This means that Jacob is our winner. He's going to get a couple of games. Let's see what else we have in here. Listen, you want to turn a knob on a door that's a trap, but you don't want to touch it yourself. Oh, definitely.

You use the old mage hand. Oops, hold on. Show me number five. That's the one. There we go. People love mage hand. Yeah, it's a good one. Show me number six, which falls into the category of make up a spell if you don't play D&D.

Expecto Petronum. Oh, my Lord. You kind of jokingly said it, and I wish you would have used it. Dang, gum it. Number nine, counterspell. Yeah, that's a one. And number ten, not firebolt, but lightning bolt. Lightning bolt. Lightning bolt. Lightning bolt. Lightning bolt.

Yeah, that makes sense. I got to go through some of these other ones because the tadpole always, you know, never, never disappoints with stuff like misty step, acid, splash, color spray, excelsior. Expelliarmus, again. Melf's. minute meteors, I guess is a real thing, speak with animals and speak with dead. That's true. Wingardium Liviosa.

I wish you say that one right. Lots of versions of Avara, Avara cada Kadarva. The Avada cadaver, the curse. Oh, the death curse. Yeah. The death curse, exactly. Anus Expeleamus.

Whoa. Yeah. Fun to watch. Not fun to experience. I don't think it's fun to watch either. Dragon slave It's a good one Ambigium breasts

Endus gamus I guess if somebody's just tired of playing Endus gamus What does that spell? You just like throw your Cheetos everywhere and leave Exactly Expecto dogerito Perfect

Fart gas of course Somebody has to do that one Yeah Forgeticus Is that real? Forgeticus I don't know, it might be That's not real

It can't be Higotis, Figuidus, Miggis, Mugus, somebody wrote. And I don't know if that's from something, but I love it. Higgas, Figgottis, Mugus. Never heard of it. Weird. Somebody could tell me if that's real. That sounds like something from like the Sanderson Sisters or whatever it is.

Yeah. The Sanderson Sisters. I don't know what that is. What is the Sanderson Sisters? Is that a thing? Oh, from Hocus Pocus. Oh. I have never seen that movie or its follow-up.

Oh. Film's act, baby. You know, it may be, yeah, lay on hands, giggity. Making iguana fall out of a tree, I guess, is a spell you can cast, which is very good. They're casting, man. It happens to be sitting under a tree with an iguana. Yeah, they cast that in Florida all the time, I guess. They're always getting gonzs.

They do, exactly. Let's see, searing smile, shaleli, spell of fits of giggles, summons, sledy wench, summoness Baconicus. I think we know who sent that one. Yeah. The Bendy Wendy Wendy's. I don't know what that are, those are, but sure. No idea.

Is that when you afar, you bent over? Yeah, you fart. Unfortunate erection, vicious monkey, weiner schnitzel, and windfury totem, rounding us out. I'm sorry. You really ran over unfortunate. I did. I did. Unfortunate erection.

Yeah. Just tore right through that one. That was my point. Well, Jacob, here you go, man. Congratulations. You're a winner. Whenever Fletcher says that, we know we have a winner, and that means you're going to win these codes. Brian, remind him what he's won and how he'll get these codes.

Yeah, these great games. Orbital Racer and Flynn, son of crimson. Nice. And they are currently in your direct messages right now. There you go. Enjoy. We're so damn efficient around here. Jacob, thanks for being here.

I love your avatar, by the way. What is that a donut? What am I looking at? That's a bagel. Is that a bagel? Or a pastry of some sort. It's a pastry. yeah it was some googly eyes on it yeah it's got eyes on it that looks good it's like my sculpture

of brian's head in Vegas it's very good exactly yes uh well done great to have you we'll see you later brian done away listen here's the deal you know this already but later today oh brian and i are taking the package wrapping off of mdk and mdk2 which stands for murder death kill is my understanding yeah or mission deliver kindness that's right what movie was that from that murder, death kill. That was from a movie we saw in film, Sack. It was the best of us just alone was in it. Demolition man.

It was it. There you got it. That's it. Yeah, Demolition, man. Okay. Taco Bell, baby. Yeah, sex headsets with Sandra Bullock is my memory. You used the three seashells. Oh, yeah.

So this will be great because this is the thing that was weirdly ahead of its time and also weirdly janky as hell. And I think we're going to have a real great conversation. It started a new kind of branch that just kind of, died. But it was an interesting side trip. It sure was. And we like those on Play Retro. So check that out. That'll be live today at frogpants.

dot TV at 3.30 Mountain Time or such, somewhere around that. So check that out. And that'll be after DT&S, which is another thing I'll be on today. So come hang around for that and be here and be a part of Play Retro. Play Retro over on Frogpants is at frogpans.com

slash play retro. Brian Ibbitt or Dunaway. Kiss our butts. Kiss our butts. Oh, you. Bye. His no you is so great. No you. No you. All right, we're going to take a break, I believe. Yes, we are.

And when we come back, Tom Merritt will be here. We're going to talk some tech. After him, we'll get a little bit of the recommendals on with Nicole and Randy and the two of us. That'll be great. So stick around for all your fun Wednesday activities here on TMS. Brian, let's play that song. What do you got? Yes, sir.

This is a brand new single from the band Fences. This is the second single off of their upcoming LP called Bright Soil, which comes out this August. Listen, you're going to want to check this album out because it features contributions from Felix Pestorius, Jeremiah Green from Modest Mouse, Wesley Schultz from the Luminers, and Ryan Lewis, formerly of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. So make sure you check it out. The album, again, is called Bright Soil. Here's the second single from said album. It's called No One.

She wasn't happy with normal conversation. more I pulled out the paper and then you lighted as we go I know that she was from the streets Sometimes I feel like a no one I know that it's true Sometimes I feel

Like I'm no one I don't want to feel the heat Do do do Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Got back to my place And then she laid a head on me I know that she can feel me breathe Lay down the cocaine

And then we talked about the war The wall is deep inside of me Sometimes I feel like a no one I know that it's true Sometimes I feel like a no one I am I want to feel the sheep I love to find out of you I do. Do you do. Do you do.

Sometimes I feel like a no-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do Sometimes I feel like a no one I know that is true Is it handy to do it? Sometimes I feel like a no one I know that is true Sometimes I feel like a no one I know that is true

Sometimes I feel like a new one I know that is true I have made some camomile tea Do you take sugar? No refunds asshole The morning stream When there Always makes me laugh

That Fletcher Ben Tell me who that was again That sounded great Sure, that's the band Fences It's really one guy named Christopher Mansfield but joined by a lot of great artists that I mentioned before the break. That's the brand new single from Fences. It's called No One, and it comes from the upcoming LP called Bright Soil.

Oh, why is that loud? Hold on a second. Sorry, everybody. I don't know what happened there. I don't know, but it's jaunty. It is very jaunty, isn't it? It's jaunty little tune. All right, we are going to call Tom Merritt.

We haven't seen him physically since our trip. However. Well, no, exactly. You've seen him physically a little over a week again. Yeah. And then since then, he's been to St. Louis, San Francisco, a bunch of other places. He's been traveling like a wild man. He has, yeah. He's a busy, busy man. And that's why we only got him for a couple days in Vegas, sadly. that's right we need to let him know earlier so that we can have him for the whole time he's actually never been there for the full for the full Vegas we need to put him on display like some sort of strange god like an idol that's right and have people work around him anyway maybe maybe you have have you ever been there for the full like been there for our live show tom like one of the early tms vaguses or can't remember i don't think so i don't think so either we need you up on that's so damn busy he's just so busy you know maybe i'm afraid it's got yeah i know maybe i'm afraid

hadn't considered that a little loud Irish people running around yelling at us all the time yeah that's always the Irish I forgot to play your thing here the world of tomorrow will be as cold as sunlight tuned through photochromic windows

I ride it naked yeah this is the truth it always sounds like you're saying that right now as you sit here oh it's such good audio it sounds yeah which I you know for whatever reason that bothers me less than being called the man

you've mentioned that before it's so funny i do write it make that's just true it's just true we like to we deal in truths here no lies um it's good to have you here it was wonderful seeing you and hanging out uh for a couple days we had you in Vegas thank you so much again for yeah man i was glad i was able to swing it and uh it was great to be there a little longer than last time so it's not like i don't want to be there right oh clearly not like i just don't let you know early enough to where you can plan around it, I guess. Yeah. You guys think I'm...

Partly my schedule just is less flexible than I would like it to be, too. Yeah, I get it. But you had a whirlwind. I mean, you were flying places and visiting stuff. Yeah, man, I did... Well, we went on vacation. Then I went to a surprise birthday party for Justin and Austin. Then I went back to Austin for Brian's Founders Day thing, the TMS Vegas.

Yeah. To help out with my family back in Illinois. So, yeah. It's a lot. it's a lot but you also travel well and so the whole time i just knew that it was going to be fine tom's going to be fine look at him look at him the only delays i experienced in that entire trip were between st louis and salt lake yeah what the heck oh that's the other thing you were you were stuck here for a chunk of time like two different times and no problem no problem

going between salt lake and l.a they're fine yeah some st louis thing who knows and i had just told tom how the the new salt lake airport had one last year's most efficient uh Most Efficient Airport Award. And then, like, immediately Tom had an inefficient experience with the airport. The second delay would have been really bad if it hadn't been for the Delta staff. Big, big thanks to the Salt Lake Delta staff who helped me get out a little earlier at a decent hour. So I'm appreciating that very much. They're great.

Having a pub here is nice, too, because you can, I don't know. I feel like you can get more stuff done. Well, that's great. It's good to have you here. Hopefully things have calmed down for you a bit. And you've already got a great idea today to talk about tech. What are we talking about? Oh, so have you all heard about pass keys?

Sort of. These are little cryptographic tokens that are promising to replace passwords and multifactor authentication. I've heard of them. Like a check-some kind of thing, right? Yeah, it's like a public key. He uses public key cryptography so that the secure way of logging in is on your device. nothing is stored other than your public key, which we won't get into public key cryptography.

You can check out a little more episode I did about that if you want to know how it works. But with public key cryptography, you can give your public key to anybody you want, but still be able to securely authenticate with somebody who has your public key. So Google announced that it is supporting pass keys on Google accounts now.

So if you like, you don't have to. They're not getting rid of the other ways of logging in. But if you like, you can switch your Google account to pass key login, which means you will very easily be able to just log in most of the time without even having to do anything other than tap your account. Now, if you have a situation like that right now, Google had a more elaborate method of doing that in the past, and they're replacing it with pass keys. So it may not feel that different if you've got their old way of doing that, but it'll work across devices. That's the big thing. So if you use Dashlane or one password,

you can keep your pass key there if you trust them. You can put it in an iCloud, which will allow you to use it across Apple devices if you live entirely in the Apple universe. But yeah, pass key means that you no longer have to remember a password. You no longer have to use a second factor, even a UBiki. If you're in the advanced protection,

you can replace that. You don't have to do that. So it's a very well-vetted, very secure method created by the Fido Alliance, which Google Apple and such are part of, and it's not one of those things were like, well, I could use it, but I won't be able to use it on my Google account on an iPhone. Well, yeah, you can. You can use it on iOS and Android Chrome browser. I believe Safari has probably has support through ICloud. But yeah, and even if you go into like a hotel, let's say, and you're like, okay, I want to log on to YouTube in this hotel. Do I have to create a

pass key on the hotel? No, please don't do that. You don't want your pass key to be created on anything you don't securely log in. The pass key is only as secure as the device that you're storing it on. But if you've stored it on a very secure biometrically protected phone, for example, you could use the pass key on the phone to sign in on the hotel TV, and the pass keys never stored there. So the system is really well thought out. Huh, it's interesting. And Well, it felt like what we were always waiting for with this, even though there were big names behind the support of it, was a big name saying,

we're using it now. And that's what this is, right? This is Google saying, hey, we're going to let you use PASCII. And that's huge. That's an enormous company with a lot of people who are using constantly using services from Google. So this is like a big, like, play in that direction. Like, I kind of want to try it now. Uptail at this point, I'm like, well, yeah, let me know when someone,

when it's going to be big. enough to matter. And now that feels big enough to matter to me. Yeah. And it also demonstrates the difficulty of switching to a pass key because Google helped found the Fido Alliance has been working on this from the beginning. And they are just now transitioning their gargantuan enterprise to pass keys because you have to make sure not just that the pass key works, that part's done, but that you are properly managing it, that you can provision it, that you can provide the customer support and the messaging to people to educate them on how it works and when they're trust and all that. Yeah. So like if I let me let me just do a scenario. I'm at a hotel having a great time.

Everything's good. Oh crap. I lost my phone. Someone's stolen my phone. That's the device where the thing is stored in that case. I have no other computers with me or any other, you know, things. Am I just, what's my recovery process? Is there one with Paskey or am I just screwed? Okay. If you don't have any other devices, then what do you should? to log in to. Well, that's a good point. That's a good point, I guess. Okay. So you, so you lose your phone. Let's say you go downstairs to the business center and you want to log in there. Yeah, that's, that's going to be difficult. That would be a reason to have iCloud or one password storing your pass keys because theoretically you could maybe log into your one password. Now,

granted, just like multifactor authentication, if you have all your eggs in one basket and you lose the basket, you lose the eggs. So it's different than your multifactor app in that respect. But let's say you are able to get into one password. And then you can get your pass key out of one password. You can use it to authenticate on a browser, go in to your Google account. You could then deauthorize the lost phone. You could say, okay. Okay. I'm I'm pretty sure they can't get into my lost phone because I, you know, I secured that pixel really well. But let me just be extra sure. Let me deauthorize that pass key so that if somebody does get into that phone, they wouldn't be able to use that past key.

Okay. That makes sense. All right. So, yeah, what's holding everybody else back from announcing this? Do you think this is just going to start a cavalcade of these companies that are part of the coalition first and then everyone else after that? Like, what do you predict based on this? Honestly, I think one of the biggest. impediments is user support, being able to help people understand what the past key is and

and that you should make sure that you've got them backed up, you know, having a legitimate user account recovery system, just like you have now with a lost password. You know, you want to be able to do something like that. So I don't know that past keys have any, anything that you can't overcome versus passwords, right? Because if you lose your phone, and it was the only one that had your email on it, or your only one that you could securely log into your email on it, well, you were in the same places if you lost your phone with the pass key. So what the pass key does is says, we're going to keep your pass key safe from fishing and safe from data breaches. So the big difference is when you lose your phone and you can't log into your password, you lose your password management. or let's say, and you don't remember your password, well, that password still exists.

So somebody could break into that database and get it. With a pass key, it doesn't. It only exists on whatever devices you have put it on. And it's probably good practice to put it on a computer and a phone and a tablet, whatever devices you have. And make sure that each one of those devices is properly secured, right? Because if they're easy to break into, someone could get a hold of that and get your pass keys. But that's less likely than somebody fishing you, getting you to click on a link by accident, or breaking into a database.

And so, honestly, this is going to stop a lot of things that happen accidentally where someone is fooled. You can't be fooled into logging into Google with a pass key. Right. Because the pass key will only work on Google.com. It will not work on Google.c.com. Right. Will it work on sites that have the API connectivity to log in with Google? Do you know?

If they're using Google to log in, then yes, it will work, but it's only working with Google. Got it. Right? It's only authenticating you. And so, again, that's not any more or less secure than any site that is using Google to log you in. But that's hard for a phishing site to pull off because Google will rip away their authentication. Right. So this faces the same obstacles that a lot of these texts do, even when like password managers,

became a thing or, you know, 2FA in general became a more prevalent, sites had to support it, right? And over time, they started to and did. And so, you know, your Steam account, whatever thing you have, it has some sort of connectivity there. Same problem here, though, right? Like, pass key will need not just adoption from users, but adoption from... Yeah, it needs adoption from the websites. Yeah. It's pretty much got adoption from all the platforms now. It needs adoption from websites. And for a long time, those websites, including Google right now, are going to be loath to give up passwords because they want to ease people into the transition. Right. Right. So right now, you're still only as secure as the weakest way of logging in. But at least the

support is there and they can start moving people over, getting people used to it. Well, I think it's fascinating because the idea of going, essentially, this is the first step into really feeling like you're passwordless like yeah you're just yeah you're just getting in because you are who you are almost almost biometrically but not really in this case obviously not at all but it's this feeling of like biometric if your paskey is on a biometrically protected device right yeah even better yeah more layers baby more layers uh well this is great we'll talk more about this and other cool happenings in the tech world today on the daily tech new show it's wednesday i'm back can't wait it's going to be fun um tom anything else going on you'd like to mention to the fine folks at home

No. If you have been subscribed to my newsletter, you've been keeping up with all my travels because I talk about all the stuff I do there. It's a great way to know what I'm working on, where I'm going, where I might end up being, and you get to communicate directly. You can just respond to that newsletter if you have a question or anything like that. So by all means, if you haven't already, sign up at freetomnewletter.com. That sounds like a great idea. Tom Merritt, everybody, Ace Detect on Twitter. We'll see you next time. Bye. Bye. I don't know why I keep mentioning Twitter. You know, it's this old, it's this old podcast. It's a habit. Like, you do it in a film sec, too.

It's what we've done for such a long time. It's hard not to. It's really hard not to. And I don't, I kind of want to get out of the habit because it doesn't benefit us like it used to. Maybe it'll come back, maybe, someday. Maybe. Someday. I think Shmilan Shmast to send it or sell it first.

He's got to sell that damn thing. Yes, please. Nicole and Randy are on deck for a little bit of the old recommendals here. A little bit of the old recommendals. Yeah, always a good time, always fun. And to do that, we've got to hit this right here. Where is it? Here it is.

Well, what do you recommend? Well, I'll tell you what I recommend. I recommend listening to recommendals, which we're about to do. And it's going to be very exciting. Randy's joining us. We'll start with him. Hi, Randy. How are you?

Good morning. Morning. Morning stream. How are you? I'm fine. I'm being great. Feeling great. In my third cup of coffee. It's going really, really well. Yeah. Yeah. I can tell. I can always tell when you're caffeinated. It's obvious to me when you've taken your shot. Excellent. You've ingested your caffeine. Yeah. I like it. That little giggle you heard is the wonderful, the fantastic, and the always returning on Wednesday is Nicole's Bagnolo. Hi, Nicole. You know, it's been a long time since I've been on the call when you play like the little intro. And I don't recall hearing that one before. Oh, yeah, it's new. It's new-ish. But, yeah, who's that lady?

Sounds like Kristen Bell to me. I have no idea. Who is deep? Let me play her again. Well, what do you recommend? Oh, I got her off of that 11 Labs thing. She's a robot. She's not real.

Oh, she's fake. She's fake. It sounds like Anna from Frozen. A little bit. Yeah, listen, let it go. Well, what do you recommend? I recommend letting it go. Let it go.

Oh, right? No, Anna. That's Elsa. Oh, that's Elsa. Sorry. Listen. Anna is it doesn't have to be a snowman. My days of being a, my days of being a 10-year-old girl or long behind me, I'm afraid.

I just don't know anything about it. Oh, you'll be living it soon. I have a feeling. Soon, Scott, you'll be a 10-year-old girl again. Can't wait. Well, you'll be living through your granddaughter. Yeah. When Phoebe is of age, she will certainly be into it.

Well, done, Disney. Well, it's good to have you both here. We're going to dive right in. Brian, we always start with you. Let's do that again. What do you have here? Yeah, and before I get to my thing, I want to underscore a couple of recent recommendals that I've watched from you guys. Jury duty, which was, I think, Randy's most recent recommendal.

Frickin' Frant-Tast. It's so frant-Fran-tastic. It's got Fran Drescher in it. No, I said this a few times when we were in Vegas, and I was proselytizing the joy that is jury duty and said that I. I've never felt so good after watching a reality show as I did after that last episode of jury duty. Have you seen that there are people trying to get him a career in, like, Hollywood? I love it. And he deserves it with his weird ear.

And then also, yeah. You said this was the best reality show that made you feel good. I will give you one other one that has done that. It's the, you know, the Homes on Homes guy? he's like a carpenter and he goes around and fix stuff he did a he did a reality show

where they they had it it was a it was a competition and each competing team they would redo a house and then they would kick somebody off and the the spoiler was they got the house oh really like they ended up getting the house anyway

oh my god it was the best feel good show I've ever seen and it only had one season I don't remember the name of it but it was It was a wonderful show. Well, thanks for spoiling it. I know. And then just also, I think Randy talked about Picard season three, and I'm going to also throw my weight behind that one, too. We just finished watching that one.

And I don't know where that Picard was for the first two seasons, but holy cow, what a great season that was. I'm only three or four in, but I'm loving it so far. Yeah. Very good. And Ibit, have you thought of any other, like, classic, amazing TV? shows from the 80s or 90s that you like would like to see revisited new season of

characters? Moonlighting. Moonlighting. Probably won't happen with Bruce Willis taking a step back from acting. It's apparently really hard, right? Because they tried to revive Matt about you and that didn't work. That didn't work and

Quantum Leap is okay but it's not the same people playing the characters. Yeah. No, not. Yeah. But, boy, that cliffhanger makes me think that there could be a little bacula. Oh, little bacchia. He's coming back, Yula. He's coming back, Yula.

All right, anyway, let's get to my recommendal for this week. There are so many great people in the show you're about to hear. I found a clip that features a few of them, but doesn't feature all of them. And let's get to it. All right, here. Here we go. I'm hit and play right here. May I help you?

Just looking for a dead plant. That is not your trash. Okay, let's start over. So, my name is Sean, and I'm guessing you're Karen? It's Pam. Pam, the family knows him. Why don't you go home and post some shit on next door and how the neighborhood's changing?

He's staying with us, Pam. Are you dropping off some welcome muffins? Wait, the guy that almost beat someone to death is staying with you? Jimmy, what the fuck are you doing? It's fine, Alice is cool with it. No, I'm not, but I agree Pam's a racist. I'm moving into VA housing.

Hey, you don't know. her an explanation why am i the bad guy liz and i are just trying to protect the neighborhood stop there's no liz and i you need me over here big no oh thank god hey jimmy hey derrick hey pam hey no there's no hey pam we don't like pam got it eat a dick pam what the frick i love what's i can tell that's what's her name from like scrubs and um yes Krista Miller from Drew Carey show as well. Yeah, she makes me laugh, man. She's great.

She is so good. And you're also hearing Jason Siegel in there, or Siegel. You're hearing a great Eda Dick, Pam, from Ted McGinley, who found a new home, a new series that he can't sink. Wow. That is a show called Shrinking on Apple TV Plus. Finally got around to it. We were waiting for all the seasons. or the episodes from the first season become available.

And this, again, another show that you watch and you just feel so good after watching very much in the spirit of like Ted Lasso. Even though there's some subject matter that's like, oh, that's really sad, for whatever reason, you still feel great watching it. It's so, so good. You didn't even hear Harrison Ford in here, but he's very prominent in the series. as a senior therapist, Jason Segal is a therapist who is helping his patients by almost going too far with his methods. And Harrison Ford disagrees with it at first, but then gets kind of talked into it to help him out. But one of the highlights of the season is getting to hear Harrison Ford sing a song by Sugar Ray, which you never thought you'd hear. Oh my Lord. I'm in now.

Yes. If you weren't in before, you're in now. Um, you've also got, uh, Lukita Maxwell, uh, his daughter, his, uh, Jason Segal's teenage daughter. Um, and then a bunch of other people kind of surrounding Jason Seagull's character, a fellow therapist played by Jessica Williams and, um, Michael Yuri, who is, uh, a character named Brian and everything good always happens to Brian. Is Ted McGinley a thousand years old? How old is that guy now? Because he, uh, and he still looks young. I don't get it. Uh, I don't know how old he is, but this is by far the best thing I've ever seen. Ted McGinley, and he is 64. He was born in 1958. He doesn't look 64.

He looks... No, he doesn't. For all the shows he's killed, maybe he's sucking the lifeblood from these shows and living forevers or something. Oh, it's like a vampire. Like an energy vampire, basically. Very weird. This sounds great.

I've seen this one advertised and it seemed like a kind of show that would be like, this is either going to be great or I'm going to regret it. And I'm glad to hear that's great. Tell you right now that you're not going to regret it. You even get some great little cameo appearances. Lily Rob, who's great. You know her from things like American Horror Story and I think Grace and Frankie maybe. Wendy Malick, who is just hilarious and even though she's aged, she doesn't look like she's aged.

You know, she's, I don't know how she does it. Heidi Gardner from SNL. great great recurring guest cast list so good this looks great 10 episodes Apple TV Plus you will feel so good after watching it

they never break the fourth wall but there's a lot of self-referential talking so like they'll say hey how are you doing honey and oh you know I heard it just as I was saying it that I probably shouldn't have said that So it's kind of that level of humor.

But it is a laugh a minute. And that Eda Dick Pem is a good example of the stuff that I'm going to get from shrinking. You had me at Eita Dick Pem. That was great. Yeah, I think I want to capture just that little bit out for you so you can use it. And that was Ted Ginnley, McGinley, sorry? That was Ted McGinley saying Editha Bann. From married with children.

From married with children. He plays the most, I don't want to say complex character. but all of his interactions are kind of like that hey honey do you need me nope thank god bye everybody that kind of that kind of character and every time he's on screen it's the funniest damn thing i can't believe i'm saying that about ted mcginley but uh that dude was on freaking happy days that's how long that dude's been around just forever yeah yeah he sunk happy days he sunk uh the second loveboat series he sunk uh married with children yeah he syncs everything revenge of the nerds i don't know i Oh, that's a good question.

Can't really, because it's not a series. Right. Or there was a series, but I don't think he was actually on the series of Revenge of the Nerds. Wasn't there a series? There was a series. That attempt at a series. It was not good. An attempt of the series, yeah.

It was bad. I'm not just remembering of something that didn't happen. I think they tried to PG it up and it just didn't work. It was no good. That must be it. You got to go R with that stuff. All right. Shrinkin on Apple TV Plus.

go go watch it Brian Mitchell says wrong he saved those shows they were all on several seasons after he joined yeah but they weren't good seasons no they were bad

trying to watch try and watch some of the beginning happy days or love boat the next generation or whatever it was called yeah they're really bad you guys let's not say there were anything other than that

all right I'm going to do mine next this is a Netflix thing it's a documentary and you may recognize this voice You may not. Let's find out. With most of the big males away to the north, Christine can finally relax. The baby is getting stronger, and it's time for her to explore another important part of life at Ngogo. The canopy.

Okay, short and sweet. Do you recognize the voice at all? I'm just going to, I just want to make a guess. go ludicrous you are incorrect i just i like i don't know like i was imagine is that a genuine yes because i love it if it was like calm you know yeah he's a chill dude sure um it is uh that's actually mahercial ali is who that is and mahercial ali has a cool voice he's uh he's a blade

yeah those blood our new blade exactly um he's also what the uncle on uh spiderverse right i think that's right and uh moonlight Which narrowly beat La La Land for Best Picture several years ago. That sounds right. Anyway, this is a... For me, he's cotton mouth on Luke Cage. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, right.

He's great on there. I forgot about that. Well, this is a documentary he narrated that just came out. It's a mini series of documentaries called Chimp Empire. And I was in the mood for... This is just prior to Vegas, but I was in the mood for kind of some serene nature business. I just want to get in there and just like easy. into some cool

whatever nature, Attenborough, level, whatever. And so I found this and went, oh, this looks interesting. I found that he narrated it and I said it's even more interesting. Let's check it out. And it is that. It's one of these great nature documentaries. They follow these troops of chimps through the African jungle, or sorry,

the South African jungle. South American jungle, sorry. Get my jungles all mixed up. Please get the right jungle. It's important. And they're basically warring factions of chimps that if they see each other crossing over at any of their territory, it's freaking blood and mayhem. It's really gnarly.

Yeah. They are very territorial, which I didn't know about chimps, I guess, up till now. Anyway, it's fascinating. They've named all the chimps, so you kind of get, you know, to have this feeling for some of them like, oh, please don't let that one die, that sort of thing. Chimps live to be about 55 on average. They had one in here that was 65. He had been the alpha male forever.

This guy scared the shit out of me. This is a chimp that's basically sat on his grass throne, hardly moved. People are always picking stuff off of them because, you know, grooming is a big deal in their society. And he just sits there stoically, old as shit, just falling apart. And you knew trouble was coming when he would hear. He would get wind that there was some, the other troop had gotten to their territory. How they do that, I don't know.

It's all instincts, whatever. But he would suddenly just start going, who, who, who, who, who, and, get all like worked up and it meant it is on boys like freaking rumble in the jungle anyway i didn't expect all of that is this like the primate version of mere cat manner like based on the way it's being like narrated and just the warring factions and you a little bit names and all that stuff a little bit it's it doesn't try to anthropomorphize the chimps very much like like that like that one with the mere cats definitely did they were like oh poor billy's out looking for whatever like they tried to make it into more of a story than it was Disney has a penguin like that a penguin

movie that I really like, but, you know, they maybe add a little too much, too much human whatever to people. Oh yeah, Ed Helms, that was great. That was great. Yeah. Anyway, this is a little bit more of a serious sort of here's how stuff works in Chimp Society. And it's stuff that blew my mind. It's like crazy in there. Beautifully photographed. They do a lot of stuff from, you know, here's what a baby looks like when they're born. And now we're going to follow up six months later. and they're they're vying for the position of the of the new tough guy you know the the alpha and the group and um they're violent as hell though when they cross each other like it's really gnarly to the point of like they don't really show a lot of it they're not trying to be exploitative

about it but the you know if a chimp wanders off into the wrong zone yeah five or six of these chimps will attack it and beat it to death just dog pile them and beat them to crap and they're screaming while they do it and it's just a gnarly look at a part of the animal can to my head little knowledge about so anyway i liked it a lot it's very good if you're in the the mood for that sort of thing it's about i think it's three episodes yeah okay three and i'm kind of amazed right now because you're uh pointing us at this chimp uh documentary yeah and earlier you were talking about the monkey sphere concept monkey sphere what was they talking about i remember yeah it's the it's the number of people that you can keep in your relationship part of your brain oh oh that

your monkey sphere is that what that term is my sphere of monkeys yeah yeah yeah that was that was coined by a cracked author uh david wong who's not named david wong his name is like jason parkin or something like cracked magazine crack dot com yeah like 20 years ago yeah yeah david wong wrote about the monkey sphere and and like came out with this whole thing it became sort of part of the part of the discourse oh it's fascinating yeah it's it's it's there's a lot lot of that in here and there's a lot about like the alpha won't let jimmy they're never named jimmy i'm just making this up but the alpha won't let jimmy pick freaking bugs out of his hair and that's a that's a real turn you know turn down he's basically saying don't come near me you're never going to be the

alpha and like there's a lot of this like translated behavior stuff and i just found it fascinating so anyway animal kingdom stuff if you're into it Netflix has uh you covered with chimp empire available now Nicole let's roll it over to you We've got a clip here. Anything you want to set up before I hit play? Hello? Anything? Do we go mute?

That will tell you the name of the show. Yeah. I like it. It is, it's a hard thing to purge sentimental items. Yeah. And I feel like I'm, even with this. this show, I'm like, I'm preparing itself to go through my dad's stuff. My dad passed away in 2018, and I have not been able to go through it all.

And it just, it's just sitting there, you know? So how do you, how do you, how do you do that stuff? Like, you can't, I mean, it's, for me, I've avoided for a number of years. But yeah, so this, this show not only talks about your possessions owning you, but how you can live a better life by working through some of that stuff. And that's what I'm trying to do. All right. Sounds great.

Let's have playing to what we get. Listen up. Everyone is going to die. Oh, not these people. No, no, no, no. Don't worry. I mean, sure, one day they will die. We all will.

But the point is, they all need the gentle art of Swedish death cleaning. What is Swedish death cleaning, you say? Basically cleaning out your craft so that others don't have to do it when you're gone. If you can't keep track of your things, you have too many. When I'm done in here, you're going to want to entertain. It's about discovering what's important to you. You can't save everything. This is an inflatable wiener.

Enough of this we got. I'm getting hungry, I know. Okay, this looks. Great. I need this right now. Dude, I have so much shit. Yeah. So you heard Amy Poehler. She's the narrator of the show, and she's an executive producer. And it's the gentle art of Swedish death cleaning. And I've heard, I've seen this as like a blog post on like mashable or something like that, you know, in passing. But there's also a book. So Amy Poehler has taken three Swedes and brought them to America. to help people go through their crap.

And the first episode was one that I was trying to get a clip from. She has a thing about penises. Oh, by the way, a lot of cussing in this show. Sweet. Those Swedes, man. They curse a blue streak. It's on peacock. So it's not on traditional.

There's even some swearing right there. Yeah. Yeah. Freecock, right? Can I get it on freecock or do I have to pay? the page there. Anyway, go ahead. A lot of

it's a lot of silly silliness. But it gets serious too. I mean, it's a heavy topic. So you have to go into a few things a little lighthearted. The first woman you'll meet, her name is Susie. And she has

collected a lot of memories through the years. And a lot of times, they're going to feature older adults but they do have some younger adults on there too and you experience death throughout your life and yeah you just kind of for me I collect things along the way so of these people and I'm going through my stuff right now going why am I holding on to this like it doesn't it's just in a box story away. Like, so it, there's, of the Swedes, there's a designer, a kind of home organizer, and then

they have a psychiatrist. And they're very sweet and funny and very likable. I just really like the show. Sounds awesome. Can you tell me this? So I have been actually struggling of late with just, not dejunking, but just simplifying. I got too many things. And I can't keep track of it all. Did you get my package? Yeah. And like, yes, I did by the way. Thank you.

That was awesome. But like I look at, I'll look at along. It's okay. I will. I look in like in a room and go, all right, this Saturday, coming to here at eight o'clock or whenever film sex over. And I'm going to tear through this and I'm going to be done tonight at five and it's going to feel great.

But then I just find it overwhelming and I just can't. Are people like that going to benefit from this even though it's not about a death per se? It's more about. I think so. And that's, and that's what they say. It's, I mean, it's called a death cleaning, but it's about your life. It's about, like, for instance, Susie is living in the past, and she's not focusing on the right now. And the whole part of that, and I'm actually thinking about buying the book and just reading the book, is about to embrace your past and your future and try to your present and your future and try to not dwell so much in the past.

It's okay to go back to the past and enjoy those memories and reconnect with those things, but you have to really look at that and say, is this enhancing my life? Is it holding me back? And it's that kind of thing. And it's a hard process to do, I think, because I'm the same way. I tend to just put it in a box and put it in a corner. Yeah. Like, I can't think about that right now.

No, that's a really good point. And having to clean out my grandmother's house a few years ago, like, oh, my gosh, this would have been, it would have been so much nicer. We did this while she was alive and we can say, all right, what do we need? What do we need to get rid of, et cetera? Right. As good as these shows are. And my gosh, the second group of queer eye guys is so good. How do we not have dozens of series like this?

I'm really surprised. I think you do. If you go to HG. HG TV. Oh, yeah. They got all kinds. They're just not great. They're just not as good, you know, like.

And what I'm talking about is combining some sort of like personal connection with with home makeover, right? So it's like, we're not just going to make over your home. We're going to like get to know you and help you sort of improve your yourself. Maybe it's too good to feel goody or something and people want conflict or something. I don't know either. Well, most people like the big reveal, right? It's hard, but you've got to go through hard work to really get a good reveal.

So like with this woman, she's like, oh, I thought you were just going to clean out my stuff, but really you're helping me with my soul, my mind, just my well-being. And we don't really get that from a traditional makeover type of show. It's a kind of quick and dirty. And let's see, let's just make it look like us, you know, a stage home. right and that's not real life like real life is messy and complicated and that's what i like about this show it's it's very true yeah and it seems like they're having some fun with it too which is yeah it's a lot of fun all right well check it out uh what's the title again it's cool um you can just

search Swedish death cleaning but the gentle art the long title yeah yeah the gentle art i like that. I sent that clip to Wendy just so she could, she's probably familiar with it with all her time in Sweden. I'm just curious like how she'd react to it. So we'll see what she said. I love the Swedes. They're very cute.

Yeah, they're all right. Well, Swedes. All right, moving on. Hey, speaking to Spartan, sorry, before I go to Randy, I just want to say real quick, I saw, you brought up queer eye. I saw the tan guy. His name is tan, right? Yeah.

Saw him, his husband and their little boy at the zoo on Sunday and they are incredibly nice people. I forgot to mention that. They're supposed to be having a second kid soon too. Yeah, I heard some about that. They were going to adopt somebody. Or maybe they're doing a they're doing a surrogate thing. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. It wasn't people. That guy is a ridiculously handsome human being. He's walking around in there with his with his husband and this kid and it's impossible even if he wasn't on some show. It was impossible not to look at him and go my gosh, impeccable everything, clothes, shoes. And you're at the damn Hogle Zoo. This place is a dump

compared to you. What are you even doing here? I mean, lives here, but anyway. That's life, man. Side note. It's fascinating to go from England to Salt Lake City. Yeah, right? He loves it here. He's got a place in Park City and then one out here in holiday. He loves apparently loves it here.

All right. Let's move to Randy and your recommendal. What do you have lined up for us here, Randy? One of the most successful comedians of the last 15 years. won an Emmy like in 2008 hosted Saturday Night Live five times in the 2010 2010's early 2020s and had a massive fall of fell fell from Grace to hit rock bottom and is back with a newish comedy special this is the very first this is the first half of the first joke of this comedy special I yeah I don't give you all the way of the punchline because it goes on and on and on. Yeah, there's no short jokes from this, from this person.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it is so good and I hope you, I hope you enjoy it. All right, here we go. The past couple years, I've done a lot of work on myself. And I've realized that I'll be fine as long as I get constant attention. I do, I love attention. I always wanted attention. When I was a little kid, I didn't get enough attention.

I was the third of four kids. I have an older brother and an older sister. When I was three years old, they pulled me aside and they told me that I was adopted. And that my real mother had been murdered by Miss America. They said, if you ask our mom about it, she'll get really upset.

So don't ask her if it's true. unless you want to upset her. And they said, if you ask our dad about it, he'll say that we're lying. But he's lying. They thought of every angle. And to compound the stress that I was under, when I was three years old,

I thought that Miss America was the Statue of Liberty. All right, so John Mullaney's back is he how's this uh how's this concert it's an hour 20 of him talking about uh the last two and a half years yeah and uh it's it's like this it's very very funny and it's very explanatory and i think for uh anyone who is sort of like facing any kind of minor demons even uh this is really really good this is like helpful comedy you know what i mean and it's and it's really funny like he's just he never stops being funny and you just realize oh i i can't kind of can't believe he could do this

back when he was so totally strung out on cocaine yeah yeah yeah because he's apparently when he's totally sober he's great he's yeah good at this yeah and he's got i mean he's got a i remember his last comedy special there was a whole bunch and and in his time with um this before all of this but he was with Seinfeld in the car getting coffee. And he said something to affect of like, I'm never having kids. Why would ever have kids? I'm not going to have kids.

And now he's got a kid with oblivion mun, and I think maybe there's a second coming or something. There's something going on. Anyway, he must have gone through every possible up, down, change, whatever, during that time. And it's easy for everybody to jump on these comedians when they go a little south or whatever. Sure.

But this isn't one of those where, and he, sexually harassed an entire gymnasium full of women it's like one of those this isn't one of those guys this is a guy with a lot of you know personal shiz um and i'm happy for a comeback on that front you know and his his personal issues with his family and friends played out kind of publicly yeah and and that always that will always leave a big question mark for you right like um what what is this what what do you do right you know like if it if it goes out out publicly, and everybody knows that you screwed up as bad as a person can, right? Among your family and friends, then what do you do about that?

And what he does is he tells you about it and makes, you know, makes it as funny as, you know, he can. And he is one of the funniest people around. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, it's, it's, it's, I really like his stand up. So I'm excited to see this. This is where, did we say the name of this? stand-up? I don't know if we did. Baby J. It's Baby J on Netflix. His previous thing was the SAC

Lunch Bunch. And I like I again, after you see this, it will make no sense to you that he was able to create and star in the Sack Lunch Bunch. You're just like, how did that happen? Which had its moments, but I found it a little hard to watch. Yeah. I didn't, I ever saw it. I kept thinking I wouldn't. I never did. Probably not worth going back to. Right. No, no, I wouldn't. he was he was absolutely high out of his mind making sack lunch bunch like yeah just absolutely you know he just crazed wasn't that how alf got created to the guy was on drugs really i would believe it totally there's a movie called permanent was it permanent was it i'm thinking uh who is it oh i'm having trouble with the names

Welcome to my world. I remember nobody. The guy from Zoolander. Oh, God. Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller. He played the writer that wrote, he was on drugs and he wrote Alf.

Permanent midnight, yeah. Oh, no way. Is that real? I didn't know this. Alph is really a drug-induced idea? I believe it, but I didn't know there was truth behind that. That makes some serious sense now, doesn't it? I don't know what a stupid.

stupid idea and somehow it worked crazy uh all right well you gotta say one thing about baby jay it is not unlike so many other comedy specials where the comedian is telling you about their personal business yeah and that um that can be really really funny like i recommended the mark maren special right a few months ago yeah um it can be really really funny there's a point where i like was like struggling with i wish john malaney would just tell a straight joke like just a you know a funny out of the blue joke and he does he does it again and again throughout this special he like has this he has this uh interview that he did with i think rolling stone that is so freaking funny and it's actually is closer you got to watch this it's it's it's

like going to end up being one of the best of the year i'm all in i'm going to watch this very good i also watched something one of you recommended and i don't remember what the frick it was but i really enjoyed it didn't i text you brian or something something uh may not have been me damn it i don't remember i don't remember either it was i don't remember anything pre-vagus yeah pre-vagus is a blur dude was that something i can't remember that was a blur Nicole we had people we had people we had people saying very nice things about Nicole at this oh yeah i missed you guys so much yeah we had lots of film sack love a lot of Nicole love we had a lot of uh core love it was just a lot of love, man.

Oh, by the way, Mark told me you guys, we're talking about the wrestling characters on core. Oh, yeah. Oh, God, yes. I'm all for it, by the way. Yeah. I am a child of the 80 that grew up on WWF. Yeah.

And what was the other? There was two wrestling. It was WWF. WCW. WCW. The Von Erick's and. I didn't know this about it. you? I didn't know. Did you know this about Nicole? You big wrestling fan? Never any idea about this.

Oh, that's great. I'm thrilled. I loved it. I even went to the like, you know, they had the little backyard wrestling. Yeah. That sometimes it would tour the schools. I went to a backyard wrestling. Yeah. So I'm dredging up ancient memories of Nicole from a long, long time ago. Did you, were you the one who loved the Ultimate Warrior? Yes, I loved it. All right.

You told me about that so long ago. I loved the old. And, oh, macho man actually was my favorite macho man. Oh, yeah. Randy Savage is the best. So, yeah. For those that don't know what's happening here, if you're not into gaming, you don't listen to CORE, what happened is John Jagger decided to buy the newest wrestling game that 2K makes

and they're popular, they do well. But one of their unique features is that you can get really crazy with customizing new characters. You can just make anything and have them look like real people and go nuts with it. So he has made a version of almost everybody I work with. He hasn't done girls yet because the game weirdly won't let you have the girls' classes and the boys' classes fighting each other. You can't. Oh, really? So it has to be a whole separate. Yeah.

So it'd be a separate division. But he started with us and worked his way out. So there's an Ibit in there. Randy's in there, of course. With a funny hat. Yeah. I'm in there. He did all these characters.

And then he's not even ever played the game. All he's done is run AI-based battle royals where a winner wins. And it's so much fun to watch. It's ridiculous. So, yeah. I used to have wrestling matches with my brother. And I would eventually beat the crap out of him because he was four years younger than me. And my dad would always tell me, you better be careful, Nicole.

He's going to get bigger than you one day. I stopped wrestling him. Yeah, that'll happen, right? But it's really a fun thing, so I'm happy to hear that. And I'm pretty sure you and Veronica and a couple other of our favorite frog pants ladies are all going to get the treatment. I'm down for it. I'm down for it. Nice.

Well, there you go. I love that John made me a chef. Yeah, you're so right. That's perfect, right? Dunaways is freaky real looking like Dunaway. It's just hoodies and hats and long hair. And when he's in the ring, he looks like Mario. It's amazing.

Anyway, if you haven't seen all that stuff, go check the, wrestling buddies. Yeah, everyone's wrestling buddies. No, no, no. There used to be someone in the chat room just said, I still have wrestling buddies, Hulk, macho, and ultimate. They had these, like, wrestle buddies. They were like little stuffies.

Oh, really? Go to bed with. Yeah. I never had one of them. And they looked really good. Like, they looked like the actual people. That's cool. That's cool.

Well, all right, then. Hey, Brian, you put these all up on QuicktmS. Dot Lee, didn't you? I did. They're there. You can click on them and go right to the shows that we recommend. Oh, that's so great. That's amazing.

Nicole, always good to see you. Have a fantastic rest of your week, and I can't wait to see you again next week. Bye now. Randy, same goes to you. All right, they're gone. Go enjoy a cocaine bear before the next time we talk. I'm going to hit this button,

see what happens damn it it's coming back it did the thing it did the thing it does I hate that I don't know why it does it it only does it when Tom's on now

I think I've narrowed it down so now I've got to figure out why because I didn't close it after Tom for this reason I thought well I'll leave this up for a sec Brian and I'll be talking later then I can try it sure enough it killed it

anyway all right we are near the end things but before we go we've had a lot of back and forth on what you're what we should call football in this country if we uh oh yeah yeah i love that change it we got one from gwen from phoenix pearl tea always good to hear from her she says hey guys it's gwen listening to yesterday's tms and you were asking about a new name for american football it already has another name it's gridiron which is a great name honestly it's a good name soccer should be football and american football should be gridiron i have spoken that's a great i love it oh what do you do i'm

to stay home watch some gridiron. Oh, cool. Who's playing? Oh, the Packers versus the Seahawks. Oh, that's going to be some good grid iron. Some really good. Yeah, I love grid iron season. See, the problem is I think it's three grid iron. It's three syllables. Yeah. It would be nice if it was two. Yeah, right. Are you ready for some grid iron? Yeah, I don't like that. Yeah, that doesn't quite work. Yeah. So I think we need to just get something with one less syllable. We'll be in the ballpark. We'll see how that goes.

So if you're like, hey, how do I request a song? Good news. It's there. Go get it. Go get it. All right. Brian, we're done. Do you want to do a song at the end here?

Sure. All right, let's do a song. I'm fine with that. And this request comes to us from, wow, one of our two hosts, Mr. Scott Johnson, who really just put it the thing. This cover is badass. We should play it. And I agree totally.

I listened to it. And I said, this is badass. This is a cover of the Alana Miles song from the late 80s, early 90s. It's very early 90s called Black Velvet. It's performed by a group called Infected Mushroom. We've played them before, and I love their, they had some really cool artwork early on. I think it's also a poison ground type in Pokemon. From the album, I Am 25 from 2022, here's Infected Mushroom and Black Velvet.
