Holy sister of the Immaculate Nugget.
First shit of 2024.
I never say 2023.
Both ends have a butt.
I can't drive.
Whatever the posted speed limit in your particular state is.
Fliping the friars in the temple of Big Mac.
I can't believe I paid 55 for this.
American balls dropping.
Okay, new boomers.
You'll have no stops, no traffic signals, and no lieutenant y'ar.
Jamie's big, nasty hand.
Stop trying to make awesome happen.
Red on Airlight with Bill and more on this episode of the Morning Stream.
Cameras and keyboards take the place of traditional party favors as computer operators around the world
prepare to take the information super highway to the first ever Internet New Year's Eve back.
What you're seeing, I think, is a glimpse into the future.
While revelers bring in 1995, strategically placed cameras will send live pictures and sound to the internet,
where users will have the opportunity to download the hottest parties around the globe.
In a happy new year. In a happy new year.
I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a gladly pay you Tuesday for a.
a hamburger today.
This is the morning stream.
Hello, everybody.
Welcome to TMS.
It is the morning stream for Tuesday, January 2nd,
2024.
I'm Scott Johnson.
That's Brian Ibbett.
Yes, just like last year.
We're doing it.
We did so well with it last year.
We're going to keep the same format this year.
Yeah, we didn't change a damn thing this week.
No.
Okay?
Nothing changed.
changes today. You know, we have a few references at two being a new year. We may talk about
the new year a little bit. Right. But it's the same shit you're signing up for, okay?
But I'm still writing 2023 on my checks.
My goal is, and I know this is dangerous, but my goal is on TMS to not screw up and call
it 2023 this year, not even once. I'm going to do it. I'm going to pull it off.
My prediction is within the next five episodes.
It's totally fine.
I think you should have this prediction because it'll help me be motivated.
I'm going to be thinking about it every day because I don't like to lose.
So if you keep clear by January 10th, then, yeah, you're good.
Now, here's the weird thing.
The entire break, which, you know, we missed TMS terribly,
although we did put a New Year's Eve, a little special.
Hopefully people enjoyed that.
But, you know, it was the first time we've really taken the entire Christmas to New Year's week off.
and every night
of that take time off
without exception
I think I slept great
just wonderful sleep
oh no really
oh gosh I hope the two aren't related
totally slept like baby most of that time
really last night
not terrible sleep
I'm not saying it's TMS's fault
in fact I'm convinced you know it's like
this is something we look forward to
not something that we go to bed saying
oh god we've got new TMS
on this tomorrow i know i know it's the thing is i had to kind of like probe my mind and figure out
why i was feeling that way and i think i know i have a simple but i'm getting a uh or a cavity
fixed today like an old filling is cracked and like just fix it not a big deal i've been uh i was
supposed to do it two weeks ago or whenever i was six i had to push it and they were like well
we don't have any appointments till january i'm like fine so now it's here and i think that's
probably why i didn't sleep because you know what going to the dentist sucks ass and i don't want
to go okay yeah it does
It does indeed.
I don't want to go.
I'm going to feel great after.
I'll be a little numb.
That's fine.
That wears off.
I'll probably grab one of them there,
J-dogs on the way home.
Because that's what they give you over there when you get work on.
That's right.
You get a free J-Dog coupon.
That is the...
It's pretty great.
What is up with that business?
I love that it annoys you every time I bring it up.
You're like, my dentist needs to step up his game.
But anyway, it's...
I'm not looking forward to this at all because, you know,
people's hands in my mouth.
No thanks.
don't like it right yeah it's your it's one of your top uh like it's a thing that comes up any time
we see it in a movie for film sack it comes up as what gross got out the most yeah fingers in somebody
else's mouth or lick in somebody else's face what are you doing what are you how are we living
our lives you know you are not liking any of that business no but i but i will you know
go through with it hopefully maybe a story or two for the show tomorrow it's worth it if there is
we'll see yeah i mean you want it to be oh my god the worst thing happened to me at
the dentist's office. I'm going to tell you all about it on TMS. No kidding.
Oh, speaking of the thing I've got to tell you guys about, you know, Mike Pachulik's always sending
his cool stuff. He's just the nicest guy. I got something in the mail that now sits directly
next to the thing Brian sent me. Oh, all right. And when I say thing, I mean the beautiful,
the wonderful, Furioso with her gun out and her hand out, you know. So she's sitting over here
looking at me all day. And then, now, next to her is this thing that I probably should paint.
She probably primer this up and paint it. But Mike Pichulik sent me.
me a bust of Tio Salamanca.
Oh, look at that.
Oh, my God.
Look at that.
All right.
So, look at that's a perfect face.
Why hasn't somebody, that's a huge bust, too.
It's like a Beethoven, you like flip that down and, and the bat pole.
Oh, now that would be cool.
I should figure out a way to open this and then have like a little blown up Gus fring in
there or something.
But let me tell you, what you need to do is cut the top off of that head and put a bell
Like a, like a, like make the top, the bald top of Salamanka's head a bell.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Yeah, I love it.
And then rig him with explosives.
Oh, wait, I've taken it too far, darn it.
Oh, wait.
This is so nice, and I'm so, I just was so surprised to get this in the mail.
Is that resin or is that?
No, it's, it's filament.
It's filament.
Wow.
The layer lines are, from this view are nearly invisible.
Yeah, they look really good.
The only thing it probably needs is, you know, painting.
Because it's kind of pink.
You can't really see how pink.
it is.
It was pretty pink.
Oh, is it pink?
Okay.
Yeah.
But in his head's separate, so that's how they pulled it off.
They did two pieces here.
But I love it.
And now he sits here and looks at me all day.
Great.
Very disapprovingly, by the way.
He's not happy.
He's pissed.
Yes.
No, exactly.
I love the expression on his face, though.
The twisted dust scowl.
It's like the very last thing Gus Frank saw before he went, no!
And then boom.
Yeah, well, before half of his face went, no.
That's right.
Somebody recreated that in, uh,
Was they go? No, Half-Life 1, I think.
Oh, really?
So they had like the, you know, the white-haired professor that was always going,
oh, you're late, Gordon. Get in the room now, Gordon.
That guy, he's in the chair going, freaking out.
And then one of the other doctors who looks a little more like Fring is doing the work.
And they use the voices of the characters from the game to recreate the scene.
And even when he's hitting the bell, it's the half-life sound, the button sound from Half-Life?
Really?
It's real good.
It's real good.
Oh, it's funny.
Yeah, I highly recommend it.
Anyway, Mike, you're awesome, and I don't even know what to do it with myself after I got this.
This is amazing.
I love it.
What an obscure thing.
Now I want them all.
I want, can I get a Pinkman?
Can I get a, can I get a, pink, pink man?
A pink man.
I want Mike.
Yeah, Tucco would be cool.
I'd go for a Mike.
Skinny Pete and a badger bust.
All of them.
Give me the whole set.
I'll even take a Skyler one.
All right?
Sure, why not?
She's not a problem.
Even a Skyler.
Even a Skyler.
All right, let's get into it.
How was your New Year's?
Did you do anything crazy on New Year's Eve?
We had, so my parents came out from Vermont.
My dad and stepmom came out from Vermont and stayed with us for the whole weekend.
Arrived on Saturday right before the Mammoth game, but they had friends they were going to see that night.
So it worked out perfectly.
And we went to, I took them to Meow Wolf, blew their minds with that place.
Yeah, but that was cool.
They loved it.
They said, oh, my gosh, this is so creative and really weird.
And that part is kind of scary because it's like you go into these areas where there are these monsters that, like, you know, both ends have a butt, you know, no head.
Or these things that are just kind of gripping the walls and looking at you from, you know, from far away.
The meowulf here, basically every meow wolf is different.
I don't know.
I haven't been to the Texas ones.
but um and they're they're different but they do they stay the same or do they all do they change
their setup every year so far none of them have have um changed their story there might be like
improvements or things that they they fix or add or whatever but it's um uh for the most part
it is just static you know your static um right uh set up at any of it's like a like a permanent
installation that way or whatever
whatever. Yeah, exactly. So we're, you know, we're trying to find Tristan, who was working that night, and we're making our way through the, through the whole place, the exhibit. And finally we go down to, you know, they actually did play the rat fight game, Hobbs Dog, which is cool. It's like a, it's like a video game cabinet that's open on both sides with a glass center and two rockum-sockham rats in the middle of it that you're controlling with little controllers.
that beat each other up.
You guys get to control or someone else does this?
You guys get to control.
Oh, that one's not the Vegas one.
I want that.
It's not the Vegas one.
Yeah, super cool.
But, so we're looking for Tristan.
We decide, oh, well, let's take the elevator up to the level that I don't think we've explored much of yet.
And we get in the elevator.
And there's a woman already in there.
And we walk in and she, like the door closes and we say, hi, how you doing tonight?
And she's like, nah.
I can't believe I paid $55 for this crap.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
Not a happy customer.
Wow.
I mean, what?
I did not get the creativity or the inspiration from it or figure out like, oh, you know, this storyline of this place called Convergence Station, which lets you go to all these other areas and your memories get stored in this place and this other things.
Like, I can't believe I paid 55.
bucks for this. That's a boring
way to live. You got to... Exactly.
Happy New Year to you, lady.
Hope you have a real good one.
Open up your horizons a little there,
lady, and enjoy yourself.
It's not for everyone. Claire's always going to
take the negative, isn't she? No matter what I say,
she's going to be the anti. If I say,
oh my God, this place, yeah, it's
just not, it's not great. She'd be like,
no, it's absolutely the most creative place on earth
that everybody should love it. Yeah, no, that's
her deal. And she does this so that
you'll see that she does it, and then
someone at home will write it and say,
How come you guys reply to Claire all day?
Yeah, that's right, exactly.
You're right.
Not we're playing to Claire anymore during the show.
Take that, Claire, Gack.
Take it.
Exactly.
Oh, that's fun, though.
So no, no mishaps, though.
Everything went well.
No mishaps.
No, it was a really good time.
We broke out last night, so they left this morning before the show.
And last night, I cooked a rump roast, a old Tina really cooked it.
I was going to suave it.
And then I realized yesterday morning,
planning an eight-hour suvied that nope for a rump roast you really want to have like 24 hours suvied
so we decided to uh we gave it a good rub down with some thyme and rosemary and some uh salt and
garlic and stuff and then put in the oven and cooked it for five hours there nothing wrong with
everything about that sounds magnificent so good so so good and then afterwards i said hey
how about a board game and i pulled out i knew that they probably wouldn't be in
to like
zombie side or
Catan or something
that that
you know
takes a long time to explain
and is complicated
so I broke out a game
called Sagrada
and it's
the Sagrada artisans
and it's a game
basically where
you you have a stained glass
window made of squares
you roll these
colored clear dice
and you put them in the places
that meet all the criteria
of your card
in those in that grid
and a couple restrictions.
You can have two numbers, be the same next to each other.
You can have two colors, be the same next to each other.
And your specific card that you drew that goes into it also sets certain boundaries that you have to stick to.
It's crazy.
A legacy game of dice, drafting, and window coloring.
Yes.
Stain glass.
This is, it's such a beautiful game.
It's modeled after the, what, Sagrada Familia,
church in, I want to say
Madrid. Sounds like
Spain. I think. Yeah. Yeah.
But it's, it is such
an incredible game
and so, like, completely
family friendly. 15-year-olds to 90-year-olds.
No problem playing it very thin. Oh, Barcelona.
So it's, okay. Barthelona.
It's in Barcelona.
Okay.
It's
it is such a quick game to pick up,
but there's so much strategy and everything involved
that it's not a easy, easy win game.
It's interesting.
Maybe I'll bring it to, I might bring it to TMS Vegas.
Oh, yeah, you should.
It looks cool.
I'd play this, yeah.
I love the look of it, wow.
Awesome.
Yeah, board games with your dad, that's fun.
Can't beat that.
So everyone should have in their collection, Sagrada, S-A-G-R-A-D-A.
That's right, by Floodgate Games.
if you go to the flood gates look for them baby yeah uh all right well our christmas eve
was kind of not i mean just not eventful we went to some friend's house darren's house
uh played a bunch of jackbox nice um i felt like i this hasn't happened before because when we play
with us it's just us hanging out having fun whatever we don't think that hard about it but
when i'm playing somebody else who isn't doing a lot of that yeah they aren't as adept at some of
those games that we are. And I was just, I was rocking people in, uh, I'm sure you were. Yeah.
It was fun. Did you, what did? Uh, it was the, the pack they had was the one that had
the original TKO in it. So we played some of that. Oh, okay. Yep. Um, we played
gaspionage. I forgot how fun that is. Gaspianage is awesome. Oh, Gespionage is great with
percentages. Yeah. That's a, that's a great like, I've never played a jackbox game before. It's a great
introduction because
I mean it's just high
it's just it's basically just high
high low yeah
with the focus being on the number
instead of the answer
but it's it's great
the way they just the way that thing's
constructed it's just a fantastic game
we we snooze on that too much
we should play that one more often
but it's an older pack so I never think about it
yeah anyway and then we played the original
dungeon or uh not dungeon
murder party um
what's it called
trivia murder party
A good dungeon murder on my mind.
Yes.
I wonder why.
Yeah.
We did play some of that too, but we played dungeon or, sorry, we played trivia murder party one.
And they have a very significant rule change from one to two that I didn't know about.
Because my first exposure to that game was the second one with you guys.
I have never played the first.
And in the second game, and you're doing the little final hallway thing where someone's trying to escape.
And the dark's coming after the laggers in the back, gung, gung, gung, gung.
You get the three things.
When you get to the end and you're about to go over and escape,
you have to get a perfect answer card to get through.
Correct.
Yes.
Even if you get one point.
Which can be tough because you don't get all the, all of the choices, right?
Or do you, when you get to that last one?
I think when you get all, they start giving you all the choices, I think.
Okay.
I don't remember for sure, but I think they do.
Yeah.
But here's what's different with the original.
The original one, even if you had a three,
questioner and you only got one right, that's enough for you to win because you just cross over.
Yeah.
And the new one, they make you get a perfect score before you cross over.
And it really changed.
I thought it was always a perfect score thing.
Yeah, they must, I don't know, that must be the only major change because everything else I played in that first game was very similar.
Yeah.
Almost the same.
Just different trivia.
Although I'm convinced they update all their games for modern questions.
Because there's some stuff that one brought up where this all happened after that game came
out. Oh, yeah, then I'm sure they do.
So that's a lot to maintain. Which is a great, which is a great
way to increase the replayability
of something. Oh, I agree.
Yeah, but I just can't believe they do it for
they must do it for every game that
has trivia. I mean, some games
don't have trivia, but it's crazy
to me, and then you can make your own for, you know,
your own packs for drawful and stuff like that.
But anyway, super fun. I haven't played, right,
I haven't played regular, you know, old genus
edition, trivial pursuit in a while, but I wonder
how many of those questions you say,
well, as of 1987.
Yeah, yeah.
We also had some sausage.
She made,
not German,
British sausage rolls.
Bangers? Oh, British sausage rolls.
Oh.
They're really good.
I was surprised by those.
So we had that,
and then we had some kind of stew
that was very traditional British thing.
She's got all kinds of family from there,
so that's why she did it.
And it was nice.
It just hung out, you know?
I had a couple of mock tales.
uh-huh
and uh
we didn't watch anybody's ball drop
but because that's boring
we we had it on in the background
we were watching uh
oh
Vanderbilt dude
uh
Jeff no
oh my god Andy
okay it was Andy
Circus
that would be great right
yeah
yeah circus would be great
uh
Andy Circus and Anthony Bourdain
why can I remember their names on CNN
watching one of them
get completely hammered
the other one.
The other Anderson guy, Cooper Anderson, Cooper, Anderson.
Anderson Cooper, Cooper, and, oh, God.
The other guy.
Yeah, the other guy.
Anyway, Andy Cohen.
Got it before anybody said it.
I got it before Show Joe said it.
That's true.
I can confirm.
I watched the chat.
Brian got it first.
I should just remember it's AC and AC, right?
Yeah.
But, you know, watching Andy Cohen completely get shit-faced, I'll just say it on, let's let's pop the chair.
of 2024 with our first
Oh, our first shit. Nice job.
Our first shit of the year.
But having that
on in the background means you don't have to listen
to all the inane conversation, but you can still
see the madness of the people
who have waited 16
hours in
Times Square, shoulder
to shoulder with everybody else
for a chance to watch
a giant ball go
from the top to the bottom of a pole.
Not interested at all.
No. If I live there, I would not be. Yeah, you only do it so you can tell people you did it.
There's no, nobody goes there and says, we're going to do this every year. They do this and say,
all right, well, we did this once. We don't ever need to do this again, but we can now tell people we've done it.
Yeah, and I think it's a lot of tourists. I don't think locals get as stuff. Someone in New York can correct us.
Like, Ian, if we have this wrong, if Ian's listening, you can correct us on this, but it just seems like you guys probably roll your eyes out of a bit.
I did see, I didn't know this, but Idaho does a drop, their own at the state capital.
It's a big old potato.
I'm guessing it's a potato.
Just a great big, glowy potato, and like it explodes as it lands as they get to the, you know,
3, 2, 1 and everything.
And I thought, man, that's really leaning into your stereotype, you know?
Yeah, but, you know, they're doing, they're sticking with what, with what brung,
they're dancing with the date what brung you.
That's right. That's right. Every time you guys get French fries in this country, there's a very good chance they came out of it.
You know, that does bring up a question. It is the big apple. Why is it a Swarovsky crystal ball and not a big apple?
Yeah, why not a huge apple? Didn't they? Okay, as a kid, I have a distinct memory that they did decorate up like a light-based apple.
But I might be wrong about that memory, but it seems to me at one point New York dropped a giant, glowy apple.
It feels like they did at one time. Yeah, I think I'm remembering that as well.
I can't tell you when it happened.
Maybe you and I were kids or something.
I don't know.
Maybe.
You know, Dick Clark said,
how about one year we do this with a big apple?
I did have,
so we had,
Alicia's dad is here from the Netherlands where he's,
he's from here,
but he's over there running a company for three years for the company
works for running an office and he'll come back.
Anyway,
it was here for the holidays.
We had him over for dinner one night.
And it was a weird moment of like,
Oh, my gosh, you and I are literally a month apart in age, me and this guy.
He went to a rival school, grew up the exact same time,
remembered a bunch of names of football players and crap like that.
Same music tastes.
It was great.
I'm so happy to meet somebody who is in our age group now,
who hasn't turned into a total nerd ball or a jerk or whatever the word is I'm looking for.
Yeah, we love our nerd balls.
No, I love nerve balls.
Just turn into a total jerk, a little...
Yeah, a little jerky jerk.
And this dude's all into...
He wanted to talk about Star Wars.
We wanted to talk about all this stuff.
Oh, perfect. Great.
He's some big shot executive dude, but he was super down to earth, really nice guy.
So that was fun.
That's so cool.
Very cool.
We've got a quick email here.
It's a text, actually, about speeding from Jeffrey Hart.
And Jeffrey says the following.
After listening to the comment about Montana and the speed limit,
I realized the person was probably too young.
to know. In 1973,
President Milhouse Nixon
ordered a limitation of
the speed on all vehicle
up to 55 miles per hour maximum
for any and all roads
in this here country.
What's Nixon's first name again?
Mill House, something Nixon, isn't it?
Millhouse is the middle name. Richard. Richard Milhouse
Nixon. Oh yeah, Richard Milhouse Nixon. That's
right. In response
to the oil embargo, that was why he did this.
Gotcha. Road funding had nothing to
do with it as it was. It was
was an executive order. In the late 80s, some, sorry, some states began to challenge this by raising
their speed limits individually. The feds began to push back by threatening to withhold federal
highway funds. However, all the states joined in and essentially forced Congress to lift the
restriction, says Jeffrey. I didn't know any of that. I didn't know that either. That's crazy.
So the speed limit initially, that speed limit was set for the oil embargo, because of the oil
embargo. Yeah. And Sammy Hagar's future was set that same day.
That's right, exactly.
Yep, that same day.
When he performed that in other states, he'd adjust the number to whatever their maximum speed limit was.
He's like, I'm sorry, I just can't, I can't tour Montana now that they've changed it to 75, just can't go in there.
Anyway, I thought that was a really interesting bit of info, and also I didn't know that.
So thank you for the info, Jeffrey.
By the way, I'm excited about our current baby boom that we currently have going on.
I can't imagine how many new children we're going to have joining us.
uh here on earth here in the next uh few months because it certainly seems like everybody on
the road is driving like they've got a pregnant lady and sitting in the passenger seat about to give
birth they yeah we're having a similar thing going on right now i don't know what everyone
i don't know what everyone is doing yeah it is i don't get it is the wild freaking west out on
the highways why why this year more than any other year did there was there some kind of pent-up
covid era thing that it's now just oh yeah because it feels like it's been ever since like
lockdowns ended. And the people who
went out and had the roads all to themselves
just said, I'm going to do this forever.
This is great. No cops.
And, yeah. It feels like there's less
enforcement. That's the other thing.
I don't know why that is. I don't know. Oh, for
sure. Yeah. I see way less cops falling
people over. Way less.
It's freaking mayhem, man.
It is. But I, look, it's not as
bad as that week I spent in China,
I saw some shit on those highways that I will never
forget that that place
with Southern China.
I can't speak for the rest of it. Beijing maybe is fine.
I don't know. Hong Kong was fine.
But Southern China, Shenzhen, Dongwong, all that.
That place, every man, woman for themselves.
And you were lucky.
Like, that was the place I saw the guy with a giant pile of rags on an old,
I don't know what truck that was, something from the freaking 30s,
slam into a brand new Lexus.
And both people got out of their respective vehicles,
the old farmer with the rag pile and the fancy executive guy with his speedy little car got out and just walked away.
They just walked away and left him there.
And so we drove around there, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
And that's how the sound of everywhere went because everyone's honking horns to navigate.
Right.
So there's just me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, like the whole time.
And no, there's no cops, no traffic signals, nothing.
Total chaos.
I'll never understand it.
And I never want to go there again.
Yeah, no.
It was really weird, dude.
Now, that and, you know, that in parts of the, the shots of, like, India where they've got all the tuck-tucks and the, the motorcycles and stuff like that, just j-j-j-j-j-j-j-joo, like all crossing the same intersection.
No, I want none of that.
They're all, they're all fast, though, because they all got diarrhea.
That's the trick.
Is that the reason?
Is that why they're, uh...
Oh, everybody's got it.
It's all, everyone's having an urgent moment.
You've got to get to the place quick.
You've got to find a hole in the ground.
Sure.
Meep, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
Just get through and do it.
Sorry, India.
I'm making broad assumptions about your current life.
Listen, we've seen an amazing race.
We know it's true.
I go to the Himalayan kitchen.
I've seen some rough stuff.
That's what the parking lot's like in the Himalayan kitchen.
Oh, man, just absolute chaos and diarrhea.
All right, that's going to do it for our top of the show stuff.
It's time for us to inform the public.
It's one of our mandates here on the show,
and so we do it now with a little bit of news.
Today's news is brought to you by
Tower Song. Tower Song is a 2D pixel turn-based RPG throwback to JRP
classics like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy.
And it's up on Steam right now, developed by a tadpooler and ready for all of you to enjoy.
Search Tower Song on Steam today.
Yeah, it's very cool.
Talk to that guy a little bit over the week, and he's been a listener forever,
but I just think it's great when you guys are out making shit.
Yeah.
So if you're doing something cool, let me know, and we'll put it in the show.
We'll promote that.
That's awesome.
F out of it.
Tower song, everybody, is where you want to go.
Tower song.
Not River Song.
That's a whole different thing.
River sung, very different thing.
Yeah, and River Dance.
That'll be the sequel, River Song.
Oh, River Song is the sequel.
River Dance is the prequel.
So watch for that.
Let's get to the one, two, three, and counting.
We talked earlier about the one, two, three, one, two, three, and how that was the last
day of the year this year and you know we didn't get to have too much fun with it on the show but
Las Vegas weddings apparently this was written before but I think they actually did hit records
they I was wondering about that they hit records for New Year's Eve thanks to a date pattern which is
the one two three one two three one two three so if you were going to get married in Vegas the time
to do it would have been then because it's such a weird date and you could always tell people
when were you married one two three one two three that was the idea for better
for worse, a wave of couples saying, I do in Vegas on New Year's Eve, could set
to record for the city's busiest wedding day ever. That's because of the 123-1-2-3,
known in the massive Las Vegas wedding industry as a, quote, specific date.
Isn't that what you and I would call it, too?
No, no, a specialty date is what that. Oh, I thought it said specific.
No, it is a specific date, but I was pulling, I was pulling up notes on our middle of the show
So I wasn't watching Loserty date. Specialty date. That's a funny, that's a funny typo for me, or misspeak.
777. There you go. Specialty date. It's a very specialty date, exactly, or 9-99 would have been one.
12, 12, 12, 12, or something like that. Yeah. Anyway, it's, when they do a certain pattern like this, this according to the journal there in Vegas.
The icing on the cake, specialty date falls on a holiday famous for blowout celebrations, of course.
It's a double whammy, says Melody Willis Williams, president.
of the Vegas Weddings, which operates multiple venues.
That's a name for your wedding, Vegas Wedding things, just Vegas Weddings.
Vegas Weddings. Hey, excellent.
So anytime you get these specialty dates, they're always hugely popular, but tie that in
with New Year's Eve, and it's a showstopper. She says, the number to beat on New Year's Eve
is 4,492 in the city. The single-day record for marriages in Las Vegas set on July 7th,
2007, so that was a 7-7.7. Yeah.
I said 7777.77, but yeah, that's actually a more recent example. Although 7707 unless, well, I guess, but then you'd have to do 07-07. Oh, right. So never mind, yeah. All right, that works. That makes sense.
But you never do, you never abbreviate the year with one digit. You never say, what year you guys get married? Seven? No. You might say, oh, seven. You could say, oh, five. Yeah. If you're in the aughts, I guess you say that.
Right. But you, you know, so you'd have to say seven, seven. Oh, seven.
yeah it says here the number to be oh no it says the second most popular specialty wedding date on record is uh november 11th 2011 that was also the day skyrim came out 11 11 11
just for the record yeah it was a fun thing they tried to do it again with um oh what was it the game releases they always try to do this Sega had dream cast day was 999 right i thought sonys was 9999 no
No, because Sony was...
That's the one I was associate with that, but maybe...
That was a couple years prior,
because that came out in the States in 96.
99 would have been Dreamcast.
The PS2 came out in 2000.
Right?
Anyway, what am I thinking of?
Oh, Sonic Tuesday, Mortal Monday.
They always do this crap.
I'm surprised, though, that 1111, 11 was more popular than 12, 12.
I would have thought, all right, December 12th, 2012,
would have been a more popular day,
but the second most popular one in history.
But I don't know, do we know, did they hit a record?
Did they break a record?
I was just looking for some follow-up.
I don't see anything that says whether they got or not.
I was hoping this article will just have a straight-up update,
but it doesn't.
But they might have.
That's a good one.
You know, as specialty dates go.
Yeah.
And specific dates.
Our next one.
So obviously we won't have a, with the 23.
So 24, I mean, you could maybe get people doing February 4th, 2024 as being a 2-4-24 thing.
Oh, 24-24-4-4 is not bad, yeah.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think if you could do just, you know, any pattern.
Like, I guess 5-525 is fun.
If you do year-month day, you could get 24-6-8 as your wedding date.
Yeah.
And then you can truly...
That's your specially wedding.
date. That's right. And marry the person you
appreciate. Exactly, yes.
On your specialty date.
All right, well, there's that. Let's talk about a pastor.
Now, look, we live in an era
where a lot of pastors and types like them
are accused of a lot of things.
Yeah. And before a certain
CG in the chat freaks out,
I'll go on.
Pastor accused of trying to
throw a cook into a deep friar
at a McDonald's for
disrespecting his wife.
What would Jesus do?
Probably not that.
I did that because I was pissed off that the shake machine was broken.
Oh, man.
Every time you go in, he shoves someone into that friar.
Police have accused North Carolina pastor of attacking a McDonald's cook and trying
to push him into a deep friar.
Dwayne Madsen, age 57, was arrested on Thursday in charge with assault after police
were called to a McDonald's branch there.
Wal or Wadeen is a pastor in the elevated life international ministries.
organization there and works as a semi-truck driver also according to his Facebook page he turned up
so maybe he could just claim well that was the truck driver in me throwing the guy in the friar it wasn't
right exactly it wasn't the pastor it was yeah you can take a guy you can take a pastor out of
the truck but you can't take a truck out of the pastor no at some point that's going to come back to
the church to the holy sister of eternal breading
Um, let's see, where is it?
He turned out of the immaculate nugget.
There you go, which, of which there is no such thing.
There are no immaculate nuggets.
No, there are no immaculate nuggets.
They don't exist.
Just bell, boot, and ball.
Bell boot and ball, my favorite place to go in the mall.
Uh, let's see, he turned up at the fast food joint to assist his wife, Latoya Gladney,
who is a manager in training at the branch.
Uh, Gladney, 44, called her husband to help handle employees who she told police were
disrespecting her on entering the restaurant.
Police said, Wade and Wadden, how do you say it.
walked straight over to the counter,
launched an assault on a 34-year-old cook,
and tried to chuck him in the deep fryer.
Put his head in there.
Yeah.
Head in the deep friar.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, you're busted, dude.
That's like some full-on assault business.
There's no way.
Jeez.
Oh, my God.
That is like a horror movie level, you know, death.
Yeah.
Didn't we see this in something?
I feel like we did, yeah.
I know we saw, well, we saw one where it froze.
the guy's face in Jason X or Jason in space.
Right.
And I know we've seen like, you know, scalding water,
pushing somebody's head into scalding water and holding it in there.
But, uh, I can't imagine now this would hurt.
And it would also hurt forever after that.
I mean, that's third.
You'll get third degree burns.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you'll smell like a nasty French friar for the rest of it.
Depends on how fresh the oil is, cleaned out the friar.
That's good.
That's good point.
Oh, this is worse.
I don't know how McDonald's does.
I assume they're pretty tight about that.
They probably clean it every day.
Pressure oil, I don't know.
I don't know what they do over there.
No, I'm pretty sure they don't.
You don't think they do?
No, I don't think they do.
I'm over here giving them a benefit of the doubt.
Brian's probably right.
I'd be surprised if they clean the oil every two weeks and in a fast food place.
Gross.
I need it more often than that.
That is gross.
Yeah.
Whatever, I'm off the fried food for now anyway.
We're going to take a break.
When we come back from our break, we got Bill joining us.
It's been a while since we've talked to Bill.
It's going to talk about making stuff.
and I might ask him, and you'll have good answers to this too,
but what the best base paint to use on top of this pink Tio before I actually go for the full painting.
I don't know.
Sure.
Anyway, that's all coming up in a moment.
Stick around.
In the meantime, Brian has a song prepared.
I do.
We're going to Barcelona.
Look at that.
It's come back up.
We're the home of the Sagrada Familia.
This is a punk band that I'm sure doesn't spend a lot of time in Sagrada Familia, just based on their sound.
but this is the first single coming off of their album
which is coming out this year
the first single is called Move On
Here is a band called Blowfews
Ooh I love the name
That's amazing
All right, let's play it
And we'll be right back
We'll be right back
I've tried, but I cannot lie anymore.
There's a truth out there you just cannot ignore.
Don't back down, not again.
We both know it's not happening.
So cry, no more tears.
It's over, I need you to hear.
Why don't you, why don't you move on?
Why don't you just get over it?
Why don't you, why don't you start to deal with it?
Nothing would ever be like before.
Now, can you please walk through the door?
It's not turning back, the past is gone.
So back your face, move on.
I gotta tell you, my fish is where it's in.
Get your shit together, please I'll make us in.
Trust me, you're stuck in the same end.
I don't make the rules you still don't comprehend.
Right now, I don't care.
If you think this isn't quite fair.
How just needs to see here
So how can I make it more clear
Why don't you, why don't you move on
Why don't you just get over here
Why don't you, why don't you start to deal with it
Because nothing will ever be like before
I'm asking you please walk through the door
It's not turning back the path is gone
So but your things move on
I'm standing twice and walk me instead
trying to walk me instead
Listen up and find my words
Seek and died I'm holding you
Move on what you gotta do
Why don't you why don't you want
Why don't you move on?
Why don't you, why don't you just move on?
Why don't you, why don't you move on?
Why don't you just get over it?
Why don't you, why don't you move on?
Why are you stuck in the same shit?
Nothing will ever be like before.
I'm telling you just walk through the door
that's not turning back the past the end.
If you're having a new release from ID books.
There's not turning back to back.
But your things move on.
If you're having trouble finding someone online,
you might be interested in a new release from IDG Books.
The 1994 Internet White Pages is the first printed directory of Internet users and their addresses.
It includes a Hot Pages section with Internet addresses for corporate VIPs and journalists,
and a listing of internet service providers around the world.
There are other ways to party on the internet New Year's Eve.
And we're back.
Hey, who is that song person thing?
That was Blowfuse from Barcelona, Spain, influenced by 80s and 90s punk rock.
Definitely hear the 90s influence, a little blink 182 influence on these guys.
Their fourth album is coming out on March 1st.
It's a bummer.
It's called, it's their fourth album coming out March 1st, and it's called The Fourth Wall.
Why not release it on the fourth?
March 4th.
Yeah, why not?
Whatever.
That's the first single from it.
It's called Move On.
The band is Bluefews.
Speaking of music, I took your recommendation from New Year's Eve.
Oh, did you listen to Caroline Petolic?
Almost the whole day.
that album
and all her other stuff
very, very good
she's great
she is really good
she was on
you weren't wrong
about the fru-fru
stuff sounded a very
image in heap
yeah
heapish very heapish
there's one song on there
that kind of begins
with almost a mariachi
kind of feel too
it's a weird mix
but it's very good
and I noticed this is on
like Rolling Stones
Polich I said
Pacholic
Polich
because I was thinking of Mike Pacholich
Pacholic
this right here is Mike Picholik's head
and this is a weird
Not her.
But, yeah, she's very good.
And also, what was anything I was going to say?
I was going to say something.
That album covers a little provocative.
Oh, I know what it was.
The Rolling Stone has it on their list.
A bunch of other people did too.
Oh, did they really?
Oh, cool.
I never heard of her before I saw the old music thing.
And I'm like, oh, I'll check it out.
Oh, my God.
I'm so glad I did.
She's very, very good.
You guys go check it out.
She's crawling through.
It looks like an AI-generated plane or something.
Airport.
Yeah, I mean, airplane?
Yeah.
I know.
What's going on?
Which is a place you just don't want to touch the floor with your
bare hands if you can avoid it.
No.
Or be that close to it.
Yeah.
I mean,
any chance that RFK Jr.
had of me voting for him ended when I saw him walking barefoot in that plane.
Yeah.
Is that what it was?
Yeah.
That did me.
I didn't have it on my list,
but Boy Genius had an incredible album this year too.
And that's the super group with Lucy Dacus and Phoebe Bridgers.
that's another one to check out
if you're looking for more stuff
kind of in that same same vein
but with killer harmonies
Boy Genius, all one word
and the new album is called
Is it just called the new record?
I think it's called the new record. I love it.
That's one way to call your album.
They name it like Nintendo names Mario games
I love it.
Waluigi, Wario.
All right, let's do
this year. There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill? Well, if there is, he'll surely
fix it in the year 2024. Welcome to the program, Bill Durand of PunishProps.com. Joining us this
lovely Tuesday. Hello, Bill. How are you? Hello, good morning. Good morning. Happy new year to you.
I hope you had a good one. So go ahead, Brian. So before we talk about what you want to talk about,
Bill. I'm going to tell you about a little lesson
that I learned in 2023.
That's perfect. Yeah.
So you get these 3D print
models that, you know, subscribe
to a guy named Wicked 3D who creates
these incredible Marvel and
movie statues
and bust the, you know, the
Furiosa that Scott has was designed
by him.
And
said, oh my gosh, he's got a galactus
that's huge. It's like
size-wise, similar to the size of
this giant Iron Man, the
fan home Iron Man
that's behind me. Pretty darn close, in fact.
And
excellent, I'm going to start printing it. Let's
start with his head. I start printing his head
and the two pieces to his head
and those little veins that stick out,
the wind veins that stick out on the sides
of his head so he can tell you which way the wind's
blowing in space.
And
then I get to put the
torso on the build plate
in my slicer program.
and there is no orienting this torso so that it'll fit.
On my large format, mega, my, any cubic mega.
Wow.
They don't call them mega for nothing, you know.
It's a mega.
I've got this head right here, this galactus head.
Hello, I want to eat your planet.
Yeah, he's beautiful.
And then it dawned on me, well, right next to my any cubic resin printer,
I've got a pretty decent, any cubic cobra me.
Max printer, a large format
Cobra printer.
And I said, you know, as long as I'm using
a primer
on this thing to make it
match the color of the
resin head, there's no reason I can't do a
filament body, a filament torso. So
right here is
the Galactus filament torso.
Yeah. And it's just torso
and head. That looks great.
They don't quite match, but they will
when I use the same primer on both.
Yeah, yeah.
There's another wrong with mixing
the two mediums, right?
That's fine.
No, not one bit.
And I was just trying to be too much of a purist and say,
no, it's only going to be a resin.
Are there any problems with how you glue it or attach it or anything with the two things?
There shouldn't be.
No, no.
Okay.
That's awesome.
I'll tell you what, the FDM printers,
not only have they gotten just crazy fast now,
but the quality is sneaking up.
It's getting really really good.
Yeah.
I have two resin printers that are just in the basement unplugged that I'll take them out when I need to print something small in detail.
But right now my Prusa Mark 4 is like my favorite machine.
It's so fast.
And it does really good detail.
I love it.
It's all about that speed and detail.
Those things will get better and better over time to the point where, man, can you imagine when you can poop this stuff out in like no time?
Just like, bam.
There it is.
oh yeah like a real it'd be like going it'd be like going from 24 pin dot matrix to to laser to laser yeah exactly i mean it's basically going to be at that point we'll have replicators you know it may not be making uh earl gray tea but it's still going to be instantaneous creation of what we yeah it'll make little little picard statues yeah yeah right right right exactly i love it uh bill it's good to have you back i know you've probably had all sorts of inspiration over the holiday to create all kinds of shit
what do you are not really you're like me dude i took a lot of time off i heart i kept there
projects i was like you know what and the that break comes i'm going to get this stuff done and
that done and instead i watched a lot of cool tv and played a lot of radio games that's great
that's what we're supposed to do because you know you know we will work hard on this show
bill as well and uh you need to make sure you take some time if you're if your scale is
unbalanced with the time of things you do for others or work and the time of the things you do
for yourself, then you've got a problem.
Yeah. Take some self-care time.
Exactly.
Anyway.
Great advice.
Yeah. I played a bunch of the
Lego Fortnite with my brother.
Oh, yeah. Oh, cool.
Yeah, what do you think of that so far?
It seems like a pretty fleshed out thing.
Seems good.
Yeah, I wish the vehicle system was better.
It really doesn't work.
I wish they had more vehicle type things.
But other than that, I really enjoyed it.
Yeah, it's the one thing, I'm not saying they're going to topple the reach that
Minecraft still has
but it is the closest
I've seen anybody coming up
with a way to get a bunch of eyeballs
on a Minecraft-like game.
And they have a real chance here
to flesh that thing out
and improve vehicle stuff.
That is a problem in the game
from what I've heard.
But yeah, it's impressive
what they pulled off with that.
And the fact that it's Lego,
everyone loves Lego.
A lot of your skins move over
and that stuff's pretty cool.
I built a castle
with my brother last night
and then we could run around in the castle,
it was pretty great.
That's great.
Is it like a creative mode thing,
or do you got to go out
and get all your mats and everything?
I believe there's a creative mode.
I didn't try that.
We just played the go get all your stuff mode.
Okay.
I got to get in there and give that a shot.
That's cool.
Well, then you did spend your holiday
the way you're supposed to.
I did.
Tell us, now that we're into the new year, though,
tell us what we have to get going on.
What do we have to work on?
Well, so I've got, I don't have kids,
but I do have nephews and nieces.
And my nephews got a 3D printing pen for Christmas.
And they were playing with it.
And I thought, you know what?
I had one of those briefly.
I didn't really give it a good shot.
I'd love to make some stuff to inspire my nephews.
So I went and got one for myself.
It's the Mint M-Y-N-T-3-D.
I got on Amazon.
I didn't really shop around.
I just picked the one with you.
the most stars.
And it seemed to work pretty well.
Have either of you dabbled with a 3D printing pen yet?
I got one to use as glue for when I glue two parts together.
But I never tried actually drawing something with it.
I think that would be a blast.
Like the, you know, like seeing what kind of, it's almost like world of goo where you're
trying to build a structure that can support its own weight and see how tall you can make it.
Yeah.
And you've got to work inside of the limitations of gravity.
and everything. It's pretty neat
the way you have
to work with a 3D printing pen
to make it work. I've seen people
fix like broken sinks or
shattered stuff. Does that, is that
works? Is that a real thing to do?
Because what's the material
in there? What's it actually made of in there?
So you use
3D printing filament, the normal stuff you'd
use for a printer. I'm using
PLA for mine. It's really easy
to use. I've seen people
use it to repair like,
not really repair but like there'll be a missing brick and a wall or something yeah and they'll
draw a neat little thing there in 3d which is kind of cool yeah that's cool yeah i've seen i've seen
these before but i've never really i don't know i've been curious like is it just a thing you can buy
apparently yeah you went and got it yeah there's tons of them out there yeah uh so uh there's a lot
of different ways you can work with these things you can be all free form and just sort of sculpty but
what i like to do i also bought a little mat well there's two of them one of them is just a clear
piece of plastic so that you can like draw a pattern on a piece of paper put this piece of plastic
over it and trace it oh that's smart yeah and then it just pops right off the plastic it pops off
and i also got a silicone mat uh the same company makes it uh mint 3d it's a silicone mat and in
the surface of the mat are shapes like little trenches so circles and squares and a grid and
triangles and you basically fill in these lines to make perfect geometrical shapes that's cool so
how um can you adjust the heat on the one that you picked up so that you can make the you can so you can
make the the filament come out a little bit more liquidy you can yeah uh it's got a temperature
control you can do a BS plastic if you want uh by setting it higher it's really really neat and
it's work works great um i imagine the tech has just improved since last time i tried it
It hasn't clogged or anything.
The kids are using it, and they're really, they got into it right away.
What do you think my nephew, my six-year-old nephew, made first?
Oh, gosh.
Hold on, six-year-olds.
A little iron man, a fully functional Ironman armor using a 3D printing pen.
Not quite.
No.
Okay.
I'm going to guess.
Hold on.
He made what are six-year-olds into right now?
You were talking about it earlier.
Oh, okay.
He made a Minecraft wall torch.
He made the tools.
He made a pickax and a fork.
He really wanted to make a fishing rod.
Oh my gosh.
You got one of you on your hands here.
I know.
I'm trying to be the weird uncle that inspires all his nephews to be created.
But yeah, he drew.
I had him draw it on a piece of paper and then we put the plastic over it and he traced it.
He traced the outline and then he went and filled it.
back in. So it was just a little 2D, a little 2D shape that he made, but he did it. It was pretty
good. That's awesome. Can you use this thing? Brian mentioned you can control the heat so it's a little
more liquidy or whatever. I assume this is a good tool for getting two larger filament prints
together, not as glue necessarily, but like creating detailed natural connections using the same
filament and that kind of stuff. Right. You could absolutely do that. Yeah. It's almost like a little
Well, that's the only thing I've used it for.
Yeah, exactly.
I used it to put two pieces of a run-on airlight together.
Oh, did you say it earlier?
Yeah, I said that when we initially started talking about that that was the only thing I've ever done with it is like putting two three-d-printed pieces together instead of glue.
It's all right.
I totally missed it, but also how- You were licking up pens.
I was.
But also first red on air light of the year and it happened on Bill's segment.
That's pretty great.
Which is pretty appropriate.
Yeah, because he invented this meme.
Yeah. So we're all back. We're back to where we started, everybody. Sorry, Bill, continue.
Sure. So the way I like to work with this thing is I like to draw 2D shapes on the flat surface on this little silicone mat.
And then you peel them up and stick them together to make a three-dimensional shape.
Oh, cool. Almost like you're doing a house of cards kind of thing.
Yeah, exactly.
I made a catapult, and I'm realizing I don't have any of the pictures of it.
But I made a little catapult for my nephews to hopefully inspire them.
That's what I want to do.
I want to make a bunch of things with this
and then just text them to my brother
to show his kids to get them inspired
to try and make stuff up with it.
Because it's great for young makers.
The very tip of it gets really hot,
but it's otherwise fairly safe.
You don't want to mash that thing against your skin.
But it's fairly safe.
My six-year-old nephew had no problem figuring it out right away.
It's super, super fun.
So the catapult, I did that.
I drew all my parts on paper.
keeled them up and then basically used the pen like a welder to stick all these parts together.
So it's really fun.
If you have young people who are thinking about getting into 3D baking of any kind or 3D printing,
this is like an awesome first step to kind of understand the principles behind the fused filament additive manufacturing process.
It's really good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, man, I different even thought about doing that, like,
your pieces horizontally and then just putting them together vertically.
Because I always think of, like, all right, well, I'm going to use this.
I'm going to create like a duck and just build from the bottom and go around, circle, circle, circle, until I get a duck.
But no, you can actually create some pretty freaking intricate things.
Did your catapult have like a little rubber band so that it was functional?
No, well, it was functional.
I just used sort of the elasticity of the plastic.
Oh, the plastic itself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It didn't, the parts didn't move or anything.
It wasn't super sophisticated, but I would love to try and build something like that with moving parts and stuff.
I think my nephews would go bonkers for that kind of thing.
Yeah.
Boy, now I'm getting an idea for a TMS Taskville.
Oh, that could be fun.
Yeah, let's do that.
Everything gives Brian these ideas, so watch out.
I will be practicing my 3D printings or 3D pen skills this year.
You better.
You better.
consider me interested in participating.
Awesome.
I would love to have you as part of that.
That would be great.
It almost sounds as fun as that foam clay sculpting challenge.
That was something else.
Still have Fletchers right here with the great design, the eyes and the massive head wound in the back.
The one that made him giggle like a girl for way too long.
Like a girl.
What am I saying?
Giggle like a baby is what I meant to say.
keep your emails to yourselves
Bill before you tell me about your little
bonus link I wanted to point your squinties
in particular to something I'm excited about
so I know you and I are fans of
these Factorial like
you know automation games
and there's a lot of them out there are not a lot
but there are a few really high profile ones
Dyson sphere programs are pretty amazing
they just put out a big update
Factorial continues to be amazing
and of course
Satisfactory is a big deal you played a ton of that
and got really involved in that scene.
There's this smaller one, kind of a 2D one that's been around for a while called Shapes with a Z at the end.
Completely obsessed with this game and have been for a long time.
Right now, I'm just kind of back into it and playing it like crazy.
It's a simpler take, but by simple I just mean presentation.
The actual game still has its complexities and all the things you've got to solve and do.
And they announced a sequel.
So if you go just wish list this on Steam.
It's Shapes with a Z, so S-H-A-P-E-Z, 2, so 2 is the one we're looking for, the sequel.
They're 3D-fying, essentially, the experience, and it looks so freaking good that I couldn't wait to tell you about it,
and so I figured to just do it on the show.
So go wish list Shapes 2.
You are going to love this stuff.
Oh, look at this.
Yeah, I'm so cool.
It's so cool.
Do you have gravity, or do you have to contend with that?
Oh, I have no idea.
I assume it's probably, you know, the original game,
Shapes game, is basically this, but in a 2D grid.
And this just, like they just take into a third dimension
to add a bunch of new things to sort of take advantage of that.
Bill is going to be making all of these little desks with the...
Oh, my gosh.
Conveyor belts.
Yep.
It's right.
It trips all your, all your dopamine receptors for this kind of game.
And I just thought you'd love it.
So, anyway.
Oh, and then they pan out to the whole thing.
you see the massive scale of it.
Oh, my God.
How we're talking.
It's a very, very cool.
Even the original is worth grabbing.
I think it's on sale right now for like three bucks.
Totally worth it.
Anyway, Bill, you always leave us a little bonus something.
What do you got today?
There's a channel.
I believe I've shared this guy before.
The channel's called Stuff Made Here.
He's an engineer and he makes just absolutely ridiculous stuff.
He's got a, let me share the link with you here.
He's got like crazy CNC machines.
He has a C&C water jet cutter.
he decided to make the
Inspector Gadget
Extendo legs
Oh my gosh really
Yeah
So that he could dunk on a 16 foot hoop
Oh my gosh dude
This looks like something that you're just killing me
Like this is this is oh yeah
Brian created these and then died
The first time he tried using them
Looks it's pretty he
So he goes to great lengths to keep himself safe during this whole thing
Because it's there's a lot of
There's a lot of air pressure
there's a lot of things going on there.
Oh my gosh, dude.
The way it launches him and he's got a good thing you had the harness on.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, like, watch this montage of the practice days.
Yeah.
Look at how those lakes extend, though.
That's amazing.
Yeah, that's really impressive.
Stuff made here is the channel, and that is a video brand new, only a day ago.
So go check that out.
Check it out.
Bill, happy new year.
Headlines.
Excited to see what published, or published props.
Punished Props does in the year, 2024.
And having you here, as always, has been a huge pleasure, man.
Great channel with you, friends.
We'll see you later.
You'll be talking to you too.
Bye.
That video now up on quicktms.l.I where people can check it out.
I should have mentioned Shapes 1 is also on iOS now.
On iPad, yeah.
It's only free for the first 20-level.
and four bucks after that's like nothing and it's very it's a very good version of the game
I recommend it I bought it I bought in both places because I am currently obsessed with that game
excellent you should play it um all right yeah so very the first one very 2D oh yeah
yeah it's very much like it's wild it's it's very it sticks to the same rules like you know
this thing is interesting because it's not like oh go mine dirt and
it over here. It's go mine circles and then cut the circles in half, rotate them so you've got a
corner circle that's painted yellow and then match that up with a square. That's the shape I need
delivered. I love it. And it's almost like a puzzle game in that way, but not not really. It's
still just you need to figure out how to automate your shit. It's great. And I'm terrible.
Spaghetti all over the place. I'm not great at it, but I'd love it. It makes me want to play
but also makes me want to go back
and start a brand new game of Astraneer
because that...
Astroeneer had great automation stuff.
That's a great thing.
It really does, yeah.
Yeah.
I'm in the mood these days, though.
That kind of stuff just tripping all my wires.
All right.
Hey, guess who?
Guess who?
Bellied up to the bar and said,
what if TMS had a mashup in the new year?
Shut up.
A mashup.
Don't tell me it was Sebastian,
old mashup man himself.
Definitely not.
Definitely not.
Somebody newer and more.
up on their game as far as creating mashups for us more recently.
Gosh, I don't know who it could possibly be.
Yeah, the Latin folks might call him Jaime.
Somebody might call him Jameme, but we're going to call him Jamie.
And he reached down from Canada with his big nasty hand and said,
here's a new mashup for you guys, a little over two minutes long.
And I'm excited because this is not, this is a ton of stuff over time because it's been so long,
that you and I are not going to know when any of this got said.
I love it. I love it when it's like completely out of context and we can't figure out what's
happened. Yeah. And I haven't heard it at all. So this is my first taste as well. So here it is.
Let's all enjoy it together.
Ah, I'm being scissured. Wait, nope. That's not the way I want to phrase that.
Nope. This is not, today is not that lesson. We're not teaching that today.
Deep breath in, deep breath out. Pancakes.
I say I'm not the sharpest tool in.
the shed. Pray thee, tell me why. Well, I was looking kind of dumb with my finger and my thumb
in the shape of an L upon my forehead. The forehead? Except for Brad Pitt, who's just flat out
unintelligible. Yeah, and in, um, what's that called? Slit? Snatch. Snash. We were planning on a
rough night of intercourse, so I'd sure like some Epson salts to soak in after it. I like
bleaching elephant buttholes. I could have swallowed that thing. That thing was small enough.
Oh, I need something bigger. I don't think you spank. Spank. Yeah, so you get a
before you put it in your, um, your, um, your, what do you spank it with? You put in your palm
and you go, like that. You literally spank it. To what end? What does it actually do to it?
Yeah, that also releases, uh, releases the flavors and the stuff. Fortunately, it doesn't look as much
like I'm masturbating as I was worried. So that's good. All right. As you were hoping. You know, I only have
girl dogs, have I told you this? Why? Because boy dogs wipe their wieners on everything. And then if you're
rubbing up the belly of a dog, if it's a female dog, the VEJ is nowhere near the general rubby zone.
But if it's a boy dog, they got the any minute that pink lipstick holder's going to pop out. You don't,
you don't want that? I never blew one of those. Do you ever blow one? No, I mean, I maybe did once or
twice, but for the most part, it's, I think it's because I was jamming it in so hard, never had a chance.
It's like, heik. I don't want to rub a dog's wiener, what I'm saying?
It's a tough way to find out that you're gay
When you find yourself rubbing the dog's belly
And the winger comes out like, oh crap, I must be gay
Yeah, that must be it
I'm wearing a diaper, Claire, I'm taking a shit right now
A lot of lesbians
Lots of lesbians
I can't try to understand why people do things they do
Like why would you just follow a phone
And then why would you act like everything's fine
Okay, I'm just going to dinner now
Why wouldn't you open with that when you get to the doctor's office?
Oh well, I have stomach pains
By the way, a couple months ago I had a phone
I had a freaking phone
You have a phone in your guts.
It might be related, but I don't know.
Maybe he was hiding from the police.
Could have been one of those deals.
It's a burper phone.
A burper phone.
Burper phone.
Yeah, no, that was bad.
No, I kind of like it.
I'm not going to.
It's not even worth, yeah, acknowledgement.
The court will allow it.
Wow, it has been too long, Jamie.
Geez, Louise.
I don't even know.
I don't even know.
I remember the spanking the, uh, the basil discussion, but I could not tell you what you and Brian.
and I were talking about blowing.
No, I still don't know.
And I don't, maybe I don't want to know.
Yeah, I don't want to know, yeah.
Oh, it was probably a cartridge.
We were probably talking about,
Oh, right.
Retro game cartridge blowing the dust out
before the contacts don't make sense
or whatever the hell he used to do as a kid.
Anyway, thank you for that.
That was great.
He's got something in the works for core this week as well,
so I watch for that later in the week.
And we're very happy to have him.
Whenever he wants, there's no,
there's no, you know, schedule we hold anybody to,
around here. But if he wants to make them on the regular, we'll play them right here on the show.
All right. That is it for that. Let's also get out of here. The rest of the week, pretty normal, guys.
We get shows all week until Thursday. Then we get Friday couch party for patrons. And yeah, also, we need new, Brian, we're out. We need cover requests for the year, right? Tell people how to do it. Oh, yes. Look at that.
You, right, run right into it. We do. We're low on January. It's a new year.
new, a new, new request for requests, because the one I'm pulling for today is a year old.
We're finally getting around to a request from somebody from January, 20, 23.
But it's because I've only got four requests total for the entire month of January, 2024.
So please, if you've got something you're celebrating, I know a couple of people have a birthday this month and get your requests in.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, I think that sounds like a great plan.
Also, while I'm thinking about it, join us on Patreon.
Brand new month.
Brand new month, brand new year.
Perfect time to get in.
That dollar a month thing still stands.
That's still a thing.
You can get in there.
You can plunk down your hard-earned dollar.
And bam, you're a member of the family in a deeper way.
You'll never get ads.
You'll get pre-show content every day.
These couch parties, I mentioned.
You get art in the mail, other monthly cool stuff.
You got to go read about it and find out which levels for you at patreon.com slash TMS.
That is it for today's show.
One more song, though, before we leave.
One more song.
This is Dan Andrews wrote in and wanted this one.
I just realized he had a couple requests in here that I don't have in here, or that I haven't played.
So this will be the one he gets today.
Hey, Dan Andrews.
Andrews, good, good job.
Ahoy, hoi, hoi, salty and bitter.
You wanted some requests to fill the month of January, so here's number three for me.
Apparently I asked for this last year, too.
For no reason other than I want to hear them, how about some more rock.
sugar. I'll take anything from the mash-up
Kings. Things that shouldn't work together
but do, just like Fred and can.
Cough, cough, cuff. Settle hint for new strips, Scott,
cough, cough. That also works this
year. I'm behind.
That's right. Well, now that you're done with the
Santa's, now you can... Yeah, now I can draw
that. Although I've got a whole other thing I'm working on,
but news on that soon.
Can't wait to hear about that.
Johnson pulled.
All right, from their 20-21 album,
I can't believe it's been that long.
From the album, Reinventa,
Here is their mashup of not just Stevie Nix, not just Survivor, not just Phil Collins, but those three.
Stevie Nix is Survivor and Phil Collins.
It is their song, another edge of the tiger in the air.
You can figure it out from there.
Here's Rock Sugar.
Sounds awesome.
I'll see you guys tomorrow right here back for me and Brian on TMS.

I can feel it coming in the air of night
Just like the wide wind up sings the song sounds like she's singing
Ooh, ooh, ooh, just like the wide wind up.
songs sounds like she's singing, ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh. And the days go by, like a strand
in the wind, in the way that is my own, I begin again, said my friend, baby, nothing else mattered.
But the moment that I first laid as old.
You all alone on the edge of 17
Just like the wide wind
Just like the wide wind up
Oh
Ooh
Just like the wide window
Just like the world
It's like to sing you
Oh
Baby
expected when it lands and the sea changes color but the sea does not change.
So with the slow graceful flow of age, I will fall with the nature of the nature of desire,
To be on the edge of seven dream.
Ooh, I can feel it coming in the end of the air tonight.
We don't need no education.
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
We don't need no thoughts control
I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Dark sarcasm in the classroom
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
To leave them kids alone
I can feel it in the air tonight
Hey
Take your love
Leave them kids alone
I've been waiting for this moment
For all my life
Just stay
Another breaking in the wall
I can burn in the air tonight
Oh no
All in all
You'll just stay
Another brick you know
Never waiting for this moment
But I can stay
I have the tigers
The thrill of the fight
the fight rising up to the challenge of our rival and the last monster all the stalks is praying the night and is watching our soul with the eye of the target
will i hear you in the morning and i hear you i'll hear you in life for sometimes
To be near you
It's to be
Unable
To fill you
Singing
Come away
Come away
Come away
It's like the right
We're eyes and all
Back on the street
Moonded in my time
Took my chances
I can't just like the
One me
Day
We'll choose to survive
Let's see the song
That's like she's singing
Oh
Oh
Just like for wild
Winding
Sing the songs
That's like she's singing
Boom
Who
I'm going down
It's sings the songs
That's like you singing
I can't feel
Coming in a year
Just can't
Oh, I love, sing the songs and it's like she's singing.
Ooh, baby, ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh, sooo.
