It is the morning stream for Tuesday, April 18th, 2024. I'm Scott Johnson, and that's Brian I'm Brian I'm. Hi. Hey, Lieutenant Dan. I said 18th. I meant 16th. Sorry, everybody. That's all right. You know what it was? I'm still saying 2024, so I can't fault you. The problem of the widescreen monitor is I have perfect 2020 right here at this distance, like in front of me.

But because these are so wide and if I eyeball it out of the corner of my eye, that six looks like an eight. Unless I go like this. Oh, yeah, it's an eight. Or it's a six. I have the problem that slice a nice game, I cannot tell the six is, nines, and eights apart because it's all these clunky, pixels and uh clunky pixel font yeah clunky pixel font i wish they'd like gave you an option in that game uh in particular to just switch to like a more smoothed out font yeah yeah look i i get it you know you like doing the pixelated graphics because it's quirky and fun and

trendy but give me real text you know phone phone can actually display real text and give me real text in those spots thanks yeah yeah there's a bunch of there's a bunch of games that do this there's no reason this one couldn't do it also it's one developer so maybe we're asking too much I don't know. Yeah, we're asking a lot for one guy. Poor one guy. That one guy, he's having a moment, and we want to celebrate it with him, you know. It's a great game. Yeah, he's selling well on Steam, all that kind of stuff. Well, hey, everybody, we're here. We're going to do a show. I don't even know what day. It's Tuesday, I guess. There's a lot. There's a lot going on. My wife comes home tonight. I'm very excited about that.

Yay! Yeah, I got Brian Holinka on the word on the street today, although it's just him and I, because Greg's on his way to China for a whole lot. thing. So really today's episode should be called Streets off the Street. Yeah, with another Brian. So many. Right. Scott does a show with yet another Brian. All the Brian's, man.

That's my job, I guess, anymore in this world, is to collaborate with people named Brian. But that'll be fun today. So there's just a lot going on. And so this is a good time for me to mention this. Yeah. I have been just a little down,

lately just a little off my my my norm just a little not sad not not depressed just kind of melancholy morose yeah uh I think it's down why not nothing wrong's down I think it's the weather doing this and this and then this and you know like there's something going on with the weather and I don't know I'm just feeling and then I got you know there's a lot going on before Vegas and I'm excited about Vegas but then I'm also thinking okay I had all this shit to do before I go and I got to get some shows up and posted before I leave so they're scheduled to pop when we're gone and you know so i just got all this on my mind and it's making me kind of grouchy so i did something that made me happy in my teens and so i did it again it's a thing

i used to do that i used to love and that would just make me feel good like comforty food thing for my teens and i'm curious if you can guess what you think it might have been Playing with Star Wars action figures and going peopoe, pew, pew, and having little battles on the bedspread. I love that idea, but that is not what I did. It's not it, okay, breaking out Super Mario Brothers and playing with a big, chunky, blocky, NES controller and all that. That also sounds great, but I did not do that, no. And also, I'll give you a date range here, let's say. And by the way, people, I know the answer.

that you all want me to say you're all you're all saying it in chat i'm not going to say that because yeah you're disgusting bunch of freaks come on come on you're both this you're talking about too easy a pitch over home plate for me to to fire that one of the uprights okay that's right um twist an orio says law more that's not that sounds like a euphemism it does all of these things sound like fun things i'm gonna go twist an orio no way is this dog i am what is this dog okay owner walking down the path or in front of the sidewalk in front of my house. Uh-oh. Looking at her phone.

Uh-oh. Big white dog about to take a dump in my front yard. Yep. And you got to see if they're going to pick it up or not, right? For a split second, I wanted to bang on the monitor like she'd actually be able to hear me hitting the window. Do you have a way to go, hey, I mean, if you did it on your phone, I guess, or? I don't, yeah.

No, I don't even, there's no speaker on that camera. Oh. Okay. Move along. Good. She's moving along. She finally figured out and she's moving along. Did they poo or no?

No, no. Doug started a little, like he was looking, right? You know how they're sniffing the ground like they're trying to find the perfect place that already doesn't smell like poo? Because why make a new place smell like poo? If, you know, if it already smells like poo, you need a new place to smell like poo. Now, what would you do, if I were you, here's the thing. Yeah. What would you do if that lady suddenly stop, put her phone in her pocket, and she,

She squatted down and take a dump on your grass. I know what I would do. I would immediately grab the camera that's on you right now, and I would pull that over and aim it at your screen. Exactly. I don't care how many little plastic micronauts that I have stuck to the top of this monitor I'm looking at right now, but I would 100% grab that camera and focus it on there so that everybody can enjoy the thing.

I'd have to say it. I can't even turn on the sprinklers because we don't have them enabled yet because we're still got cold weather. cold weather going on. Yeah, we haven't done ours yet either. We could have probably on Thursday because it was like 72 if we thought the weather was going to hold, but it didn't. So it's cold again.

Last night it got low, so we ain't doing that. But anyway, Brian, can you guess? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Boy, I'll give you a date range to help you, okay? So this would have occurred somewhere between the years, 1982 and 1987, eight. Okay. So because it's narrowed down to a year, I don't think it's going to be a video game related because you play you can play games anytime and do that sort of thing so i'm guessing it's

either a movie uh series or a tv series and more likely a tv series because of a five or six year date range very good um you watched this is this is brian's puzzled pint brain at work everybody that's right you always look at the way they at why did they ask the question in that way um you watched a tv show you watched the dukes of hazard uh incorrect however However, you are correct that it's a TV show. I'll give you another hint, and maybe this will help you. It happened every day, Monday through Thursday, occasionally on Fridays. It almost sounds like TMS, but it's not.

Occasionally on Fridays, too, yeah. All right. Oh, Monday through Thursday, occasionally on Fridays. Oh, you watched old episodes of David Letterman? Ding, you are correct. I watched old ass like 19. 1984, 1986, kind of jumped around. They got all kinds of full episodes on YouTube.

And I'm telling you, if you guys don't know this about me, it's a thing to know. I was obsessed back then. I was late for school, not late, but tired for school every day because I stayed up for late night with David Letterman every freaking night. My friend Bill and I would talk about it and every chance we did through the day because we were both obsessed. I would record it. I've mentioned this before with a little tape recorder next to my speaker of my TV. I would record it the same night I'm watching it

and then I would listen to it on my walkman during the school day when the teachers were watching and sneak it in I was that obsessed with it and I haven't watched it in a lot of time so for me to watch these old ones

and see stupid pet tricks and watch who's the Larry Bud Melman or Chris Elliott popping in there Chris Elliott was on last night in fact and so was Larry Bud Melman

watch Chris Ben Glover almost kicked David Letterman in the head because he is snorting too much coke before he comes out on stage or Andy Kaufman doing a fake little bit with with uh who is the rest of Jerry Lawler Jerry Lawler Jerry Lawler yeah Jerry Lawler yeah right yeah that's it something about that sounds weird but I think you're right um anyway oh that's awesome so I wasn't looking for specific interviews but I was just like oh his pre-show stuff oh there's listener mail or viewer mail then there was um he did this thing where it was probably the top 10 list of course oh yeah of course of course he did

he did some a thing last night or the thing i watched last night was uh fish cleaning night and it's where yeah it's where everybody in the audience got to have a fish and got to clean it like open it and clean it and for some reason like mariel hemingway came out and did was showing everyone how to do it is just weird but anyway it was the most comfort the star 80 maryle Hemmingway. Yeah. And it was the most comfort food freaking night of, it cheered me, it cheered me the F up. I slept better. I felt better. I was like, you know what? This is great. I'm, I'm 12 again, 12 to 18, just consuming this like no, nobody's business and, you know, and loving it. Now, you know, say what you want about, uh, I know Dave can be a, uh, acquired taste for some people. He's not everyone's favorite late night talk show host. But for me, it's the pinnacle of the art. It never got better than that guy. Yep. Absolutely.

Yeah. Will it float? Yeah. The, what was it, women wearing armory holding belt sanders or something like that where they get the sparks flying off of them? Yeah. I mean, he's chiefly responsible for me wanting to do any of the shit we're doing. Yeah. Well, you're, you know, your humor definitely is inspired.

Oh, yeah. Not a rip-off at all, but inspired by the way. if you worked with letter worked with if you watched letterment at all you'll hear me say things all the time that are reminiscent yeah like there was a time in high school where I was full on I just talked like him all day mm-hmm it was a real obsession you'd talk to some imaginary friend named Paul yeah I'm not right Paul yeah oh he was killing me last night he was saying some funny stuff and by the way nobody was funnier on there with them when Don Rickles would come on holy oh really oh really I get it I need to go find an episode oh I'm

He's so funny. He's so good with Dave. And also, uh, Charles Groden's episodes are always good. Um, who's the other guest I just loved? Oh, uh, before, I guess he was kind of shamed after a while, but, uh, Albert, uh, Albert, what was his name? Something, Albert, the sports guy. Oh, Marve Albert. Marve Albert would come on all the time. And he was great on there. But then, didn't he get in trouble for biting somebody's neck? He did. It bit a woman on the back. That's what it was. Yeah. And that was the end of that. I don't know. why or like what the situation was but that was the first example of an actual canceling I feel like where it really worked

yeah I think it was yeah because people who claim to get canceled now they don't really get canceled they just do fine in fact they do better usually with the kind of controversy you get today sometimes yeah yeah maybe not so much Gina Carrano but most of them do that's true she just hasn't parlayed it yet she needs to figure out

how to she needs to turn out yeah exactly figured how to turn that into it like first it's a little bit on family guy and then yeah yeah but also oh and anything anytime norm was on was amazing so anyway seek it out there's a ton of it

YouTube's just got oodles and oodles of Letterman content that is just there for you to watch and if you didn't grow up with it I get it it may not be your thing your guys maybe your guy's Conan hell our guy's Conan we like Conan Conan's great but there was just something then I can't explain

it it was just a right moment right time I'm right guy, freaking loved him. Yeah, I'd be curious to see, like, all right, which, you know, who wouldn't we have if we didn't have Letterman? Who, who did he inspire into the medium that, um, uh, that, that, that we wouldn't have now or would be such a different person, just a different comedian if we didn't have Letterman? I'm not sure you'd have, I'm not sure there were, I mean, Kimmel, Fallon, well, yeah, I don't know, Fallon, he's, he's, He's a little milk toast for me. I can't do. I can't watch Fallon and enjoy it very much.

He's a little too sanitized, but still. But like the one, I feel like Conan O'Brien's the best example of the guy who probably wouldn't have gotten the gig had been any other way. Like, if you had not followed up with Letterman, who was already quirky and weird and different, and then you can come in and be also quirky, weird and different in the same time slot. Like, I feel like that paved the way for him. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I can't think of anybody else. A lot of comedians got their start on there.

got their first uh sure jake johansson was i'm hearing uh myself coming back from your speakers all of a sudden oh that's weird still did you just switch something did you hit a button scott okay now it's fixed whatever that was weird yeah discord thanks a lot yeah great killborn like originally on the daily show very lettermanesque yeah oh yeah and yes folks i'll throw out one esk for you because you know it's been a while it's like a little piece of candy for you guys man it's been some time you like those little little pieces of candy every once in a while Yeah, yeah. I like a little esk here and there. Also, Carter and I put up that cooking video, and you can go see it now. It's us making vegetarian jambalaya, and we did, I think, a pretty decent job. I've eaten it twice yesterday. You did a great job. Yeah, that was a lot of fun to watch. I need to, I am going to do a little short video, I think, and show you how to cut an onion. There's a really cool way to cut an onion that. Please do.

Yeah. I'll feature it. You know, that hairy part? Keep the hairy part on there for a little bit because you actually. want something to hold the onion together while you make other cuts into it. But basically, what it comes down to is you cut the onion in half top to bottom, and I say bottom is the hairy part. Yeah. Right? Yeah. And then you take off the paper.

Yeah. And then you do some horizontal cuts, but don't go all the way through to the root. Okay. You do some radial cuts, but don't go all the way through to the root. So basically, you are cutting, you are basically making little onion fingers that are all connected at the root, right? You're just basically going this way and this way and this way and this way. And then you go, chucho, chuch, chuch, chuch, and it is already small diced and, uh... So it's like a, you cut it to be like a bloomin onion sort of to start with.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, perfect example, right, exactly. And then you got the little hairy part, you toss it into the compost bin. You know what? I like it. Yeah, I'm going to do it. Yeah, you should send a little. little video of you doing it and then I'll put it in the video. I'll still do yeah I got to figure out what we're going to use the onion but I throw onion into like I do scrambled eggs a lot so I'll do

I'll put them in a little Tupperware and save the onion for one I'm going to have some scrambled eggs. Outside of Jambalaya nobody here in this house like onions likes onions the way I do I love them on everything. Oh I love onions purple onion or red onions all of them white onion yellow onions white onions I don't even like a lot of people are like well if it's grilled fine I don't I don't like a burger with some raw effin onion there dude. You know, you can, that people are like, oh, what about lettuce? Like, well, you give me a good crispy onion. That's the whole purpose of the lettuce is to just give some crunch because lettuce doesn't

add any flavor. It just adds crunch if you've got crunchy lettuce. Give me an onion. I'll take that better because that adds flavor and crunch. Yeah, and it's just, oh, man, there's nothing like a fresh raw onion. And I don't know. When I was a kid, I would have fought myself on this. I would have had like two today and fight.

Right, yeah. Because I hated them, dude. They were so gross. I do not eat onions like people eat apples, whoever just said that. Yeah. Who said that? Oh, gosh. Just a bite out of an onion like that and garlic. Give me lots of garlic.

Oh, yeah. And there's whether it's a head, a bulb, or I found knob, a knob of garlic. Is that really? That's another way of saying it's a knob. That's another way of saying the collection of cloves is a knob of garlic. Yeah, because Brian reached out and said, hey, it's a bulb. And I went, oh, right, that's the word we were looking for because the clove is the section. Loaves is a little inside part.

We thought the clove is the whole unit in the video. So we're learning, you know, we don't cook me. Carter that much. She makes, she does more than I do, but I don't do shit, as evidenced by the video. You guys did a great job, though. Very good. Yeah, the, the garlic that you put in there, even before the peppers and the onions, I say put the garlic in there and get, let it, um, uh, blossom. Like, you basically start getting the, the stuff coming out of the garlic and then you put the onions and the celery and the peppers and to, uh, yeah, to let it absorb that, that, uh, that garlic flavor. Yeah, we've talked off camera. about this a little bit, but the, um, what we were, well, exactly that we were supposed to do the garlic, the onions, and kind of that's it. And maybe the oil. Yeah, oh, but those simmer for a while. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then put the, put the less flavorful, uh, veggies in there,

the crunch veggies, your, your, your, uh, celery, et cetera. Someone in the chat says their husband is very allergic to onions. Oh, wow. Oh, that sucks. How would you, just onions or other, is as onion one of the night? No, onions's not a, um, nightshade, is it? Oh, I don't know. Is it? Maybe. I don't know. I don't think so. Onions are because that would be kind of cool, wouldn't it? Like a Harry Potter

kind of vibe? Okay, your nightshade vegetables include mushrooms for sure. Potatoes. Is a potato really? I guess it is. Yeah. Okay, several different nightshade. Okay, so potato salad hashmen. Bell peppers.

Oh. Which we did yesterday, or did in the video. Baba Ginoosh. Oh, that's a dish, though. Eggplant. Bruchetta, that's weird. Oh, they're saying what you can make out of some of this. Okay.

Oh, sure. Right. Well, anyway. Don't, the bottom line is, don't eat things you're allergic to, you know. Don't eat, if you're allergic to an onion, do not eat that shit. Oh, mushrooms are not. For some reason, I thought mushrooms were not cheese. So peppers, tomatoes, potatoes are.

what's a what's a mushroom then is that that's a fungus i guess just a fungus it's a fungus when you think too hard about what mushrooms are you can get kind of weird in your head you know yeah i don't think about it i try not to because i love mushrooms they're amazing i'm a huge fan like i had pizza the other day with some mushrooms all over that thing i'd said two toppings minimum for this deal we got this coupon and i said you know what can i have double the mushrooms how about that i'll do that any day of the week man any day Anyway, YouTube.com slash Scott Johnson is where the video resides. It's in the Monday show thing.

So you guys can get it there. Brian, you remember yesterday that drunk guy called, or we thought it was a drunk guy? We didn't know. Yeah. Yeah, no, yesterday, but a couple days ago. It was that last week, wasn't it? Was it? Time, dude.

What even is it? But we got a follow-up. Oh, cool. Excellent. Yep, here it is. Hey, I was the drunk caller, the annoying dude. I am not drunk. I was playing

One Piece Pirate Warriors or something I don't remember And I was drinking a hazy IPA Like an annoying West Coast guy Love the show though, bye All right I don't know what's weirder His original call

I was drinking a hazy IPA But I definitely wasn't drunk Yet Isn't that IPA by definition Aren't they all hazy They're all kind of thick and hazy Aren't they? No

No No well I don't think hazy, I think, is just super hoppy. Am I right on that? This is where, you know, going to the Beer Fest year after year. So an Indy Pale Ale is an IPA. Yeah. Yeah, it's a style.

Hazie is a style of IP. Is it the hops that makes it? Oh, unfiltered. Of course, that's what makes it hazy. So in there, so chunks in there, like floating? Or what? Yeah, yeah. All right.

That's fine. Yeah. So it's like pulp. They're not that thick, though. I mean, it's not like, it's not, uh, yeah, it's, it is still, it is still not even close to a thick and liquid, just cloudy. It's like, um, have you ever had unfil, you probably haven't. I was going to say sake. Uh, no.

There's your filtered sake and your unfiltered sake and unfiltered sake. It kind of looks a little bit like milk, um, but it still has this, roughly the same consistency. Hazy IP still has the same consistency as a, as a non-hazy IPA. Well, hazy sounds gross in a drink, but I'm glad that you guys have your hazy drinks and that you enjoy them. Yeah, more for other people because I'm, give me a stout or a gin and tonic and that's all I'm, that's where I'm going. When they say Indy IPA, that just means like India, India, India, India, Pale Ale. I thought it meant like independent brewer or something like that. No, and I don't know why I'm assuming it originated in India.

Yeah, India Pale Ale was originally an export beer ship to India, which was under the control of British East India Company until 1858. So it's not a pale ale that comes from India. It's a pale ale that was shipped to India. Got it. Okay. That's interesting. I didn't know that.

I thought it was indie this whole time. An indie pale ale. Yeah, like, you know, not part of a major label, bro. We're like an indie pale ale. Yeah, like that. Put some of that indie pale ale in the middle. Yeah. Definitely not like, you know.

You know, indie, bad dates, not like that indie. Not that that's a problem, but, you know, whatever. Yeah. It's usually like when I show up at the beer fest and I see the four pictures in front of me from any brewery, the IPA is not the first one I go to, and I'll probably pick, I will pick the stout, then the brown ale, then the amber before I go with an IPA. All right. Some advice as well, everybody.

Yes. Well, that advice. Preference, that's just where I go. Okay. Those are the order. That's the order that I go from. You don't have to be like Brian, but it wouldn't hurt you if you were. You do whatever you want to do. This world would be such a better place if everybody was like me. It just would be. We'd solve all our issues. This stuff in the Middle East, gone in the Middle East. No issues. Exactly. We'd be also, everybody would be wearing Hawaiian shirts. We'd all be laid back.

I'm not wearing a shirt today because it's a little cooler. We'd wear a silly hat occasionally. We're a silly hat. It's a funny hat, Scott. Sorry, funny hat, sorry. Funny hat. Uh-oh, here comes, Jericho going, here comes Funny Head again to take another war on.

Hey, look, it's funny head guy. You again? You're on this podcast as well? But where is Chris Jericho? I'm sure he's fine. He's doing things. All right, yeah. Check this out.

Yesterday is history today. We're going to give you a little history. All right. Okay. Today, on this day, historical events of the April 16. Things that happened on April 16th. Yep. In the year 1457 BC, or what do they call it now, when they don't want to be religious? It's instead of BC and AD, it's, um, oh, I, I, oh shit, chat, someone in the chat, BCE, is that right?

BCE, okay. Before common era, in common era. Yeah, it's a new way. I just hear a lot of, I didn't know that was the reason for it. That totally makes sense. It's like, well, I'm, I'm, I'm, McNaustre. I'm an atheist. I don't believe in BC. Yeah. I think they just are taking Jesus out of the timeline. I don't know. But anyway, yeah. In 15, or sorry, 1457 BC, Egyptian forces of Thutmos the third defeat a large Canaanite coalition under King of Kadesh, first battle recorded with a reliable account. Wow. That's an important thing to note because, not that we'd like war, but, you know, the first war, documented war in history. Yes, right, right, which means there was a war

documentarian, probably for the first time. That's right. If it wasn't, if they weren't documented reliably before, that means you didn't have a reliable war documenter. Exactly. That's 100% in. In 1705 AD, so we're jumping way ahead, okay, on this

day, Queen Anne of England knighted scientist Isaac Newton, which made him Sir Isaac Newton at Trinity College, yeah. That was a big deal. He got hit on the head of the napole, and then they said, well, you're a night, you're a night now. True fact. We didn't have gravity until that apple landed on Sir Isaac Newton's head.

And then they said, oh, wait, stuff falls down. There must be a reason. It's the Earth is magnetic. That's right. Here's one of my favorites. This one here is 1900. The year is 1900. 1900.

U.S. post office issues its first stamp booklets. This contained 1224 or 48 cent, or sorry, 1224 or 4. 48 different two-cent stamps. That's back when stamps were two cents. Wow. 1900, baby. I don't know what it is now. They're still ridiculously cheap, actually.

If you think about it, they have been very resistant to, what do you call it? What is it when prices go up? Inflation. Inflation. Stamps are incredibly resistant to inflation. They're still stupid cheap by today's standards. I don't know how we do it. We have to be losing money on those.

There's no way. I can send a thing, like a little piece of paper, I can send to one of you guys in Kentucky for what, 38 cents? I can't remember what I don't know what it is. No, we get those forever stamps. I honestly don't know how much. I probably wouldn't even be within 10 cents of the actual price of what a stamp is. Is it 38?

I thought they were higher, like 45 or something. Well, they might be. I don't know. I know they're under a bucket. Slide 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 says, my Lord, it is about 38 cents. 48, says Dr. Calhoun. What is it then? That's not that much.

LaSarge, 63? Clearly, clearly nobody knows. It's still, yeah, and everyone here is saying all these numbers. Yeah, it's like, we have Rain Man in the chat room right now. But none of them. IMAQ had, and nobody's saying the same number either. Yeah, it's all stupid. LaSarge 63, dirtbox fingers is talking Pence, it looks like.

TV's Travis, 60 to 70. 72, so if only this was available information that was available online. I don't even know if A-L-E-X-A could tell me the price of a stamp right now. Let's ask. Let's ask really quick. Yeah, let's see if she'll know. Brian will mute part of this. Yep, there you go.

Hosted rates. Why, United Kingdom? We're in America! Yeah, this isn't. Come on, Amazon. What a load. Okay, DJ Stangle. Here it is.

68 cents it's 68 cents DJ staggles it's 73 just googled it tvs Travis says 68 okay oh because it's going up to 73 yeah if you go to okay if you go to USPS dot com they have it listed right there letter stamps standard size rectangular envelope 68 cents and yes it is about to go up to 73 that is correct I still say that's insanely low it is ridiculous that I can yeah I mean within reason you can't put anything big or heavy in there or else you're going to need more stems but still right like the fact that i'm saying take this folded piece of paper and take it all the way from salt lake city utah to lexicon kentucky and please do it in a timely fashion and also have it there without bending it and have multiple

employees of various places have to deal with it and sort it and carry it yeah exactly like it's just such as to me it's strange and every time rates go up internationally we all freak out about it but I'm like, well, of course they do. Of course they go up. This stuff is insane. How does anybody do it for this cheap? Anyway. And then finally, in the year 2003.

In the year 2003. The Treaty of Ascension is signed in Athens, admitting 10 new member states into the European Union. Congratulations, guys. You did it. You did it. Cool. Cool. That's to look at today's history, today, in history.

Brian, we're going to do the news now. And the news is this right here. The news is brought to you by. Transported to a weird place. A girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again. Name the movie. Gina's favorite movie of all time,

The Wizard of Oz. Incorrect. This is... Oh, wait, I didn't write it down. Now I don't remember. Hold on. It's the Wizard of All right. Oz.

No. Oh, yeah, it is. Dorothy kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again. Is that right? Transported to a weird place. Oz, a girl, Dorothy, kills the first person she meets, Wicked Witch, and then teams up with three strangers, tin men, cowardly lines, scarecrow, to kill again. Wicked Witch, two.

Yep, you're right. This is it. I couldn't remember. I've always forget to write them down, so sometimes I throw myself. Tell me how I'm wrong one more time. Tell me, say it one more time. I dare you. You're totally correct.

Totally correct. All right. A customer shoots a Chipotle worker over guacamole dispute in Michigan. Oh, geez. Come on now. Yeah, because I bet I know what this is about. Because QDoba gives you the guac for free. QDoba charges you an upcharge.

Yeah, they do. I don't know if this is really why, but... It's probably not why, but I don't like that they do. A Chipotle employee in Southfield, Michigan, was shot in the leg by a customer Friday night. Police sources told Fox 2, their local affiliate there, The shooting stemmed from an argument over guacamole. The shooting took place at a Chipotle and Evergreen Road. Blah, blah, blah.

Don't care about that. Quote, it was loud. And then we just all ran out, says Michael Beals, a customer who captured the incident on video. Ooh, do we have this on video? Oh, that would be great. Yeah. Well, anyway, the victim, 20-year-old man is in stable condition. According to a release from Southfield Police, he was transported to a hospital where he is being treated for the non-threatening injury.

Thank goodness. I was just eating my bowl or eating a bowl. and heard shouting. And then I looked over. They're arguing. One of the customers, or sorry, workers, went to the back. I don't know why. But when he was in the back, the customer walked around the counter,

tried to grab his food and put it in a bag, said Thomas Huber, another witness. Then the employee came back, and they started fighting. And then we heard a gunshot. And then we just ran out as quick as we could. Ooh, jeez. Wow. Pretty intense, right? Yeah.

Let's see if there's a video. I want to see. trying to come up with a good pun for, you know, a fight and Chipotle and... It's hard, right? It's hard to know. Chipotle melee, no, Chip. Chapult melee is not bad. It's not bad.

It's not Huff Po level, though. There's something. There's, uh... Yeah, it's not as easy. Oh. Okay, there's the video. Oh, what did you find? Did you find video?

Yeah, it's just, it's on this link, but they cut away when the shot happens. Oh, well. That's boring. I want the dirty. details, man. I don't want to watch somebody get shot in a Chipotle. Well, he's okay, you know. It's bad enough watching what comes

out at me after I ate at Chipotle, let alone Speaking of which, there's a video going around of a guy who tried to intervene in a carjacking, and the guy, the car getting jacked was like a big truck with a giant grill on the front and all this. And the guy could not stop him, tried to. And then the guy

who stole the car, peeled away, looped around and then came back around and just slammed into this dude that tried to stop him. Oh, God. Really? Sent this guy flying. I don't know if he survived or I don't know what happened, but I don't even know why I got to see that. Somebody sends me these videos. You guys send me stuff sometimes.

That was a listener who sent that. Oh, you won't believe this. Did he survive? Good. Mniacal Industries. That's good. I don't like to think that I saw killing on videos. Oh, no. I don't... I'm not into it. Not a snuff film. I definitely don't need to see that. Yeah. I didn't even... I avoided faces of death as a teenager when everybody else

was scrambling to see it. Even though we know it's not real, but still the time was like, no, I don't need to watch people dying or people in tremendous pain or I mean, the time we thought it was real, because we were stupid. We were all a bunch of dumb teens and they told us it was real, so we believed it, but

faces of death, so stupid, dude. And I know these exist. I know actual filmed deaths exist. I don't want to see it. I'm good. I don't need to see it. Yeah. I'm fine. don't send it to me. Oh, I can watch people die in movies. That's no problem, Stephanie. Just die left and right in movies.

Yeah, because it's all fake. Yeah, it's all fake. None of that's real. Feces of death. All right, Icor. Slow down there, buddy. Let's get into this story. We're about to get an NHL team.

We've talked about this a little on the show. Oh, yeah, right. Turns out it's the Arizona Coyotes. They're coyotes, however you want to say it. Yeah. That's an interesting thing, too. Like, what will be the official pronunciation? Because I say coyote, your first inclination was to say coyote.

Coyotes is very, very much. That's what I was brought up to say. It was coyotes, not coyote. Watch out for the coyote. The talk is they're changing the name anyway, so it won't matter. Oh, no Zs in Coyote. Yeah, no Zs. You got to do it.

Coyotes. Yeah. I don't like coyotes. That'll be a title. Coyotes. it'll be as well except that's still that there's a whole bunch of proposed names doesn't have enough

we just don't know yet what they're going to do but anyway they're relocating here this was by the way put it in our discord by sun bun it's a good reminder that if you're in our discord and you find news stories you think are worthy for the show then you can post them in there I do check those every day Arizona

coyotes or coyotes players were informed Friday that the team is relocating to Utah sources told ESPN confirming a report by the Phoenix Sports Oh, this is just in from Randy. Scott, it is pronounced Coyote. Coyote.

Coyote. Coyote. Wonderful. Thank you, thank you, Randy. Thank you, Randy. Back to your pronunciation hole. Coyote's manager, current manager, Bill Armstrong, met with players ahead of the game

against the Edmonton Oilers to confirm what had been rumored last week. The NHL is working to facilitate a sale to Ryan, the dude that owns the jazz right now, and Ashley Smith, owners of the Jazz. The Coyotes will begin playing their next season. So we will have an NHL team this next season. One thing they didn't say was, I assume they're just going to use the Delta Center. We do all sorts of ice stuff there, and it's plenty of big. Yeah, I would

expect so. Obviously, that's where the jazz play, right? Yeah, yeah. So we've probably got a layer of ice underneath the hardwood floor. Yeah, they used to do. That they maintained. They used to do it for the IHL team we had, the Eagles or whatever they were. I was going to say, Does BYU or Utah State have a hockey team? Oh, University of Utah? No. Yeah, I'm sorry, University of Utah. Yeah, they don't have, as far as I know, they don't.

Maybe they do. But they'd have to do it in the city. And if I guessed, if I had to guess probably Delta Center. But we also have the Grizzlies Arena, which is our current IHL team. And the Grizzlies Arena with Zs, double Zs. that was built for the Olympics in 2002 for hockey so that's why we even have that facility and so my guess is they could do that one if they wanted

and that one's closer to me and I wouldn't that would be great because I'd love to just like pop over for games and I like hockey a lot have I mentioned that before hockey's fun for me to watch it is fun it's an exciting like it is a fast moving exciting game it's super expensive to go see it live here in Denver and so we don't but yeah I am hoping.

I don't know who the coyotes, coyotes, are currently rivaled with anybody, but I hope it's the avalanche. You guys are probably just, we're probably a shit team. We have the Detroit Red Wings, I think, is our big rivalry, if I remember correctly. I don't know.

Somebody else from Denver can chime in for a while, because they're the ones that we battled the first time we almost made it a Stanley Cup. It was the Red Wings that kept us out. So I don't know if that rivalry still continues to the day or if we have another bigger

rival. That's funny because when I play NHL, whatever the year is the video game, I will play by default, I will either play the Avalanche or the Red Wings because I just... Oh, really? Funny. Like those two teams. Do they... Does somebody a little pixelated dude in the crowd throw an octopus onto the ice

during a Red Wings game in the video game? No. No. Okay. As far as I know, I don't remember that ever happening. I just downloaded the new one, in fact, but I I wonder, so I guess that would mean the next EA game will feature the Utah, whatever we call them. And that's just not been decided yet, so we'll see. Yeah.

It would be a good. Submit your ideas now for the Utah hockey team. Yeah, they're already doing it. They got a whole, like, survey out. The owners of the jazz have put out a survey. They're asking people what they want. Nice. Some, the leader right now, I think, is the Blizzard, because honestly, the best one's already taken for mountain teams, and that's avalanche.

That's so much better than. blizzard but we'll take blizzard what was the other one the streak or something I can't remember I think it should be the shredded carrot jello salad is what we should call them

right the Utah jello shredded carrot jellosolids by the way Denver Pioneers the the D.U. Team hockey team pioneers took the title the national hockey championship title yesterday last night I think

Well done. Well done. So it was a Sunday night that they did. So congratulations to our local college hockey team. Yeah, I like that. Oh, I like it also. I course, the Utah Funeral Potatoes. The Utah Funeral Potatoes is really good.

Yeah. Someone else that said bees, we already have bees. Yeah, you've got the buzz. The buzz. Yeah, they used to be the bees. They changed them to the buzz, but there's already bee shit. There is, the other one that people like is the Yeti, but I don't like the sound. like Salt Lake Yeti. I don't like Utah Yeti. It sounds weird. Oh, yeah, no. Salt Lake Yetty. That's good. I like that. Because it's icy. It's cold. It's very, you can, you know, the mascot rights itself. Like, what do you guys? I don't know. From the Matterhorn and Disneyland, you're set. What is the avalanche, uh, mascot? You guys have one, right? But what is it? Is it just a, it's not just a dude. It's not a dude. What, I don't know if we have a mascot. Maybe you don't. Uh, we have to, right? I mean, the jazz has

a bear so obviously you can just kind of do whatever you want but um oh yeah of course it's bernie the st bernard yes we have the st bernard who uh okay who walks around and pours uh bourbon uh brandy out of his little his little neck neck barrel oh nice i i like that oh the sLC punks that's a great idea paleo rocko i like that the sLC punks they're never going to do it's great. It's a nice reference. Yeah, and you could do two Zs instead of the S at the end. It would totally work. Right, punks.

Anyway, more on that as we come up to it, but I am looking forward to it because I like hockey. Speaking of other games, a Yu-Gi-O player, I love this story. This is a great story. A Yu-Gi-O player. Is Yu-Gio still a thing? It totally is. Those cards, apparently,

are not as big as... I just like doing that to people who goes, Pokemon. Go still, people actually still play Pokemon Go? In the case of Yu-Gio, I don't know if it's ever going to be as big as Pokemon, but I think it still has its people, right? I think so, yeah. Somebody's into it. Anyway, Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu-Gi-O player quit a tournament because the opponent smelled bad. Welcome, welcome to Yu-Gi-O tournaments.

Is it your first time here? Yeah. Or any of these things, man. Or Comic-Con or any of that. LizCon, any of it. If you wonder why Bliscom was. always so cold why the air conditioning was blaring so hot. It's because everyone stunk so

bad. They had to do whatever they could. It's the real reason there isn't an artacular anymore. Yeah, let's be honest. You guys all reeked. Why is there no? It was actually, it wasn't even Scott's decision. It was Snowbird. No, sorry. Can't have you up here anymore.

You guys are only here for four days and it takes like a month to get the funk out of the clip clop. Yeah, they called and said, hey, this is the clipclop. You guys reek. Please don't come here. Well, a Yu-Gi-O card tournament smelled so bad that one female player decided to drop out because she could not stand it anymore. Personal hygiene is always important, but some gaming conventions and tournaments haven't earned a reputation for their players not exactly showing up fresh. Over the years, we've seen plenty of instances where athletes smell causes backlash, and it's not limited to the United States. Earlier this month, the Japanese tournament went off the rails when a player smell was so bad it made a competitor quit. Well, situation became public on a thread on omel. Just called it. at Twitter. Yeah. Because I refuse to call it X.

I'm sick to try to... Twitter formerly known as X. Yeah. Where a player expressed concern for one of the women competing after revealing it was her first Ugo event and was under the impression she got clobbered. However, the female player would set the matter straight, revealing she left because of the third-rate duelist with fourth-rate hygiene. Oh, I love that.

Nice. Third-rate duelists with fourth-rate hygiene. Pretty hardcore, man. Sometimes the best defense is a strong. offensive smell. Yeah. Says, however, the female player, I'd say, where was that?

Oh, I left halfway through because I couldn't stand the smell. She said, not that I'm sad about losing at all or anything, she says. In the comments, the players elaborate on the disgust, explained that the smell

was no laughing matter and urged the duelists to take better baths. Oh, no. She says, there are stinky female duelists, but the men in the class are in a class of their own,

she said. Well, she went. She went hard, did. She went hard. Anyway, don't. And then that person, the player drove home, rode home in my lift, apparently, because that's, that is what they do.

And it never left. I try not to offend anybody, but man, sometimes I cannot, after somebody gets out of the car, sometimes I just can't get the windows open fast enough to air things out. Do you ever have it, Seinfeld style, where it won't leave? It just stays there.

No. Fortunately, no. Thank God. That's good. I've got a little can of Fabriz. I just kind of, I know it masks it, but it also does a little bit of, like, enzyme-y or some, not enzymes, but there's some sort of bacterial killer thing, and spray that right on the offending area. Do you have a, do you have a limit? Like, if it was so bad, you would be like, sir, I can't go on.

I've, I've, I've, I've, I've almost reached that limit. I had a passenger who smelled really bad and it always feels like those are the rides that are 40 minutes to the other side of town or something and it was it was a situation where I was actively trying to breathe as shallow as I

could to not take smell up my nose to take any of that smell and uh but I can't imagine it being worse than that um and I can't imagine like hurting somebody's feelings by saying I'm sorry

You smell too bad. I can't drive you anywhere. Yeah, I'd almost have to come up with other... I'll suffer. I'll suffer, you know, I don't want anybody to feel... You could just go... I don't want to make anybody sad. You could just go, oh, my car's about to explode.

You should get out. Run, run for cover. It's going to explode. Exactly. Oh, no. My car stopped. Oh, well, I guess, you know, I guess you got to get out now and you spare their feelings and...

You know, Stephanie, that's... It's funny to say that. I don't have one in my car and I should. She's suggested. a jar of vapo rub and just putting in your nose, which is what corners do sometimes or people who police, when they have to walk into a really smelling house.

Tina has done that when she's had to go in somebody's house that has not been taking care of themselves or the house or whatever, and it just reeks in there. She just goes dab, dab, and all you smell is fix vapor rub. And I probably should do the same thing. Yeah, you could do that. Just have a little jar there handy. I do that with this stuff right here.

I got a bottle of peppermint oil. And I don't use this to cover smells, but I use it to, if I just need, like, clear my sinuses or whatever. Yeah, just a little, yeah, what do you do, put in your, like, on your philtrum? Just dab it right here. There you go, a little dab it around in the head. Yeah, now I smell, it's just a lovely pepperminty vibe, you know? Nice. Lovely, yes.

Glad I did that, actually. It feels good now. It's just a lesson to all those Yu-Gio players out there. Take a little bit of Scouts essential peppermint oils with you. and go, tap, dab, then you can play against anybody. I don't even know where this came from. Maybe it was a hint.

Somebody said to that article because it was a hit. Oh, you mean the peppermine oil? The peppermine oil, yeah. My wife, maybe. I don't know why I have this. I didn't buy it. I don't know where it came from. Anyway, that's going to do it for today's news.

We're going to take a break when we come back from this break. We'll have Dan Dan, Dan, the Tabletop Man here. I got a question for him regarding his business, but also we got a bunch of big news about a very, very popular an influential game that is now coming to tabletop as well as getting a sequel in video game form. So we're going to talk all about that in a second, but Brian's got to play a song first. It's a, I'm required to do this.

This is a popper artist named Esold Fair, like, you know, the old Tristan Isold or Isold. Esold, I think it is Tristan Isold. This is a brand new single from Isold called Strip Away, as Brian patiently waits for the people in chat to clear up how I'm pronouncing, or clarify. fly how to pronounce the name. This is a 20-year-old musician making her debut single as a solo artist. Really,

really good stuff. So a little bit more pop, but with some kind of strings and orchestral bits to it. Really love it. Anyway, she's got two videos for the song, a New York story version directed by Jake Mosco, shot in New York, and a Los Angeles version directed by

Jared Schwartz and shot in Los Angeles. So not only making some great music, but also doing some pretty clever stuff with the videos um this old fair uh here is the song it is called strip away Can you read my lips? I don't want this relationship. I want to be far away from you. I don't want to live in your shot.

Don't wait. I can't relate to what you do. So I take away, a strip away, take away a stripper strip away uh take away uh strip away uh take away uh take away a strip strip away uh I want to strip it away Want to get away I think you're such a dismay

I want to strip you away Get out of my face Wanted to get away I want to strip it away Wanted to get away I think it's such a dismay I want to strip you away Get out of my face

Take away Strip away, take away you Strip away Take away Strip away Take away I want to get rid of shirts that don't fit Especially ones with stains

Chick-Fliques wear the last scene's in the rain wrapping paper from old boxes are never thrown away shirts that don't fit especially ones with stains It's just like you went away. Take away, uh, strip away, uh, take away, uh, strip, strip away, uh, take away, uh, strip, strip away, uh, take away, uh, take away, uh, strip, strip, away, uh, you finally read my lips when I're in this relationship, but now I am far away from you. Then you're a shot, don't wait a team, but I want to thank you for all you do.

Yeah. Oh, damn it. Hold on. That's such a dumb ass. All right. I called Dan directly. Let's add Dan to the call, but... The problem is I was just...

chatting with him and I had that up still and that looked like where I was and you know these discord chats they get confusing all right uh here we go here's a tangent for him be careful may cause drowsiness yes indeed dan dan the tabletop man joining us for north carolina hello dan how are you greetings programs and how are you guys today good good good you know we finally got to see tron and uh for film sack and it would they've multiple times greetings programs in there and uh yeah it makes me smile every time i every time somebody said that i was like oh it's like it's so great yeah it used to be like a little easter egg that i love to say and now uh you know with resurgence of its popularity again over the last 10 to 15 years or whatever it's

been so pretty are you uh i didn't i guess i've never asked you this but you're a big time old fan of tron you like that stuff oh yeah i loved it when it first came out like because you know being a little kid in in the early 80s it was just kind of like oh my god did you see that move like now you look at it and you kind of laugh but it was still so cutting edge for for back then oh yeah as far as you know it being a computer geek of course you know unapologetically love that that movie and I'm really excited about the new one I rewatch the legacy not long ago I'm always down for more Tron bring it in bring it on absolutely there's a got I've got a there are a bunch of what I wouldn't say a bunch but

there's a bunch of college hockey teams in Utah. They're all club teams. There's no D1 or D3 teams in Utah. Right. But there's a bunch of club. And club hockey has a huge, like, I don't want to see, it's a surgence, I guess, because it's not a resurgence because it's just something that's up and coming in the U.S. now where you have your elite of the elite, like Division 1, Division 3,

there's not really a lot of Division 2 teams. And those are, you know, that's your, you're talking, Division 1, you're talking about your Michigan, your B.C., Denver just won a national title. But club hockey, people just love hockey. I mean, Brian, you've got a local minor league team that you go to watch or do you go to Avalanche all the time? No, we, the minor league that we're the, the team that we go see all the time is the mammoth, Colorado Mammoth, which is lacrosse. If we were going to go to hockey, probably we would go see the D.U. Pioneers, the winning, the team, the national champions, because we can't afford to go see Colorado Avalanche. It's expensive.

Yeah, the pro teams place themselves out like crazy, even around here where it's always. been traditionally cheap they've kind of starting to price themselves out of things that the canes but the uh but just going to watch a game is just so like thrilling and exhilarating that even like and especially when you're talking about college games uh they're you know these schools are finding that even the club level you know they have a division one two and three of the club level that people will fill those arenas and they can just make money on gear and food and everything else and it's just it's just a huge income for or just just raising awareness of that school and stuff so you've got all these club programs so i mean you've got like utah has one b yu uh weber state

utah state westminster utah valley southern utah and utah tech all have club hockey i didn't know that yeah utah valley uh is um close i could go to games if i want it well i guess i go to university of uts does the u of you have them or no no club team there uh uh uh uh you of you um i thought you i thought you of you It says the Uts. That's the U. Oh, that isn't. Yeah, they got it. Yeah, and they're actually pretty good in D1

Club. Okay. All right. That's cool. I didn't know that. I mean, so our I HL team, the Grizzlies, I don't know where they ended up this year. I know they didn't win much. I think they kind of just sat there. They'll probably move once the big. A lot of times they won't keep the same, you know,

big cities won't keep the minor league team in the same city when they do have a pro team. So if there is like, you know, if there's another fairly big city around the area, they'll end up moving over there. Because that happens a lot of times. That was my question because I'm looking on their website, and it just, they've got a

big thank you banner up for the season and all that, but I'm guessing if this when this deal goes through. It's not if now. It's just when they probably get moved. That's a little bit of a bummer. They've been here for a long time. Yeah. Yeah, but people usually don't care because if you can get a pro team,

you know, they forget about those minor leagues pretty quick. You know, I can see that Which is really crazy how that That all developed in the last like two months Where usually you have to wait two years Before a team moves And now it's like, see ya

Yeah Arizona Yeah this Ryan guy's got So much money He's probably overpaying That's fine Whatever I just I've always felt like we've

We deserve more pro teams here And I don't know why we don't have them The fan base for the jazz Are freaks dude They are hardcore I've never met a more hard seen a more hardcore sports fanatic people don't like playing here the bulls used to complain because uh for an away game in salt lake because we're dicks like just loud the loudest crowds there i think

every year they get ranked as like some of the like most loud annoying like you're trying to do free throws and they just are the balloons and the shit and the ra i know there's some new rules with that but anyway uh i'm excited about this because it's really got plenty of room for hockey and i'm sure they have like you ever see like disney on ice in that same arena oh yeah because they'll just use generally it's a regulation uh you know ice surface so probably not a hard thing for them to put into that arena either yeah plus they just got the name back to delta which is how we all you know no one called it vivid home security arena or yeah bullshit so now the delta has it back it just all feels like everything's coming

back it's good i'm i'm pretty happy about it uh all right let's uh we didn't poison jordan that's a myth. Is that really something that... Yes, it's in the documentary for, you know, that five days, or five what it is. There's a whole thing where he got deathly ill on during one

of the playoff games. He still scored 68 points or some shit like that. He still won the game away. I mean, it blew everybody's mind how well he played, but the rumor was that fans delivered pizzas to the players and that they poisoned the pizzas to make them sick.

Utah fans to the Bulls players. It was never verified or proved. It was never proved. Look, I'll admit two things. One, everybody here still thinks that Jordan pushed off on what's his name to win that final game. And I'm sure he did because that's all he ever did and never got called for it. I'm a starving Knicks fan who had to grow up with Jordan. And my wife is a huge, you know, she went to UNC.

So, of course, Jordan can do no wrong. And I pricking hate him because I'm a Knicks fan. Yeah, no, you got to pick your battles, right? then the documentary they made a pretty good case for he didn't like they have a camera angle where it doesn't look like he pushed off on him it doesn't matter people here are just set in their they're locked in man it's a cult the anti that game jordan pushing off cult is strong as ever and that was what 35 years ago or something wow yeah anyway uh you know when it comes to jordan you can you can you there's definitely there's a lot of things in this world where there's a dividing line either either you're you're you like Monty Python and Holy Grail or you hate it. Jordan, you either love or you hate it. There's definitely dividing lines with certain subjects. Yeah, I mean, there's no denying his dominance and his, you know, all that.

It's just, that isn't the issue. The issue is do you hate him or not? If you really love your teams or not. Anyway, Dan, I got a quick question about medicine before we move on to this good news that we have to share today. Dan's, of course, a working dude in the world of, medicine and distribution of said medicine, pharmaceuticals, and so on. Some would call me a pharmacist.

Some would call you a pharmacist. Yeah, but would they be right? Is that, is that? Yeah. Would they be accurate? They would be very correct. Right. Okay, good.

So I still have never seen you in like the white coat. I really need to see that. Oh, yeah. Oh, man, I hated wearing a white coat. I used to get in trouble all the time because I refuse to wear a white coat. I hated it. You rebel, dude. Rebel, without a con.

Do you ever, do you ever bring home the little metal spatula that you used to, like push pills into bottles and like to make like little tiny pancakes. So, yes and no. So the reason why, so I'll tell you why,

we used to get them so many of them that like you couldn't possibly keep as, like you'd get them for free from drug reps and companies would just send them because like as you're counting pills, they would have like their little logo right there. The logo is sure. So just like I'm going to be like, oh, you know what?

You know what we need to give people more of? Chlorothermise. We need more by accident in here. because Abbott sent me a tray. So we've got to get more of that in here. So that's what we need, yeah, right. That's great. So, yeah, so we would actually get them

and we would have a few at home. But, I mean, if you ever have a cooking spatula, actually the counting spatulas are just as good as those, too. But, yeah, I mean, I don't have a whole lot of things laying around my house that I need to count by five. Sure, that you need right now that much, sure. Okay. I want those Bond ones from the Bond movies,

the big spatulas we always talk about on the show. And when we watch it on Filmstack, where they reach out and. flip cards with the big long thing. Oh, oh, the, like the casino paddle things, yeah, right. I want a pair of those. I mean, I won't cook with them, but I just want to have one. Do you have your simlish

handy? My son? Scrabri-a-Rat Baccarat bulk? I don't have it, Andy, but I'd love that. You know something that we do get, that we do kind of, some people collect them, too, and we have it. My wife has a few really old ones. And, Johnson, I bet you have a mortar and pestle at home. Oh, yeah. Because of all the

spices and stuff that, you know, your wife makes and stuff. So that's very handy to have at home. And we use those in pharmacy because you can, you know, you're basically making either pultuses or doing other compounding where you're breaking, you're either breaking down sometimes into emulsions or just breaking some tablets down in a powder so you can do some compounding and such. Right, right. Now, it's, look, you've got to have the tools if you're going to get the job done, right? That's what we're getting. That's what this is on. Somebody may may have to look it up. It's probably the first time anybody said the word paltis on the morning

stream. Yeah. I don't think anyone's ever said paltus. You may as well say, you may as well say, I'm poultice. What about a mustard plaster? Oh, yeah, mustard plaster. Is that a poultice? Sure. It probably goes down. It might be more of a, maybe more of an emulsion, but you know, you never know.

No one's ever said that either. No one's said emulsion before. No one that said an emulsion. Yeah. How about? Actually, I'll bet, uh, I'll bet, for some reason I'm feeling like Bill might have said an emulsion. Oh.

I'd have described something with an emulsion. Some chemical thing, yeah. Some resin thing. How about, uh, uh, what's that word I never use? It's, how about a salve, you know, a nice salve? Oh, a salve, yeah. Many of sabs. Oh, so that was, that reminds me, too.

You do sometimes will use one of those, it's funny that you say that, because sometimes we would use a, one of those spatulas because you can kind of mix your own creams at home. Sometimes people will mix, like, over-the-counter hydrochortizone with maybe a little bit of, you know, some other over-the-counter creams that you might find, you know, like a back, Bacetracin or something like that. You know, and you use those, you know, you have, if you have a little bit of wax paper, which is another common thing for, for cooking, you could do kind of a half and half, and you would use a spatula to kind of, a lot of times you'd use a little figure eight thing and you can make like a 50-50, and that does help a little bit because you may not want the full amount of just the steroids if you might want a steroid and an antibiotic to make your own at home instead of buying something that's like twice the price of that.

Yeah, yeah. Well, all right. So look, we've learned many things already, and we're going to learn one more when I ask you this question. Why do brand name drugs cost so much more than generic one? Now, I understand in a more, like, let me use a practical example. I know when I buy Nike shoes, why I'm going to pay more for those than I am at pay less, right? Usually it means the quality of the shoe, though, is a lot better. You are paying a lot for brand recognition, but also the quality of those shoes are better than something I would get at pay less, some equivalent, you know, high tops or something.

But why is this true in generics versus brand name meds when the chemical makeup of the meds, or I, identical. What is that about? Is this just purely like a, I don't know, like a brand, a brand, well, I only do brand name drugs, like the way people only do brand name purses or something? At first, it's generally, it's a monopoly thing, too. So think about when, when you have a brand name drug that first comes out, when we put out, you know, Ibittsteen's, you know, the next great anti-inflammatory. Careful. Okay, good. All right. Choose your next words very carefully, Dan. Your ED medication. You know, he's the only one. So now, you know, Brian, Brian's company is the first person to put out this drug and they have a patent on it.

So, of course, nobody else can make this. No generic manufacturer can make it because he has a patent on the chemical makeup of that. So he can charge a little bit more for that. And he will charge a little bit more. And there's, you know, there's standards because generally almost any drug nowadays is not really going to be totally new or novel. So there's only so much you can really charge. without losing the market. Of course, you know, that's a whole other business to figure that out.

But so it'll be a lot more expensive when they come out. And then what you're paying for there a lot of times is not necessarily the drug itself. You're really kind of paying for the next 15 years of that company's, you know, R&D, you know, the research. Maybe you're paying for kind of what has already gone down because drugs, most drugs nowadays, you're talking about 15 to 20 years in a pipeline before they even get out there to be to be published or released and such and produced so you're paying for that now what happens when a drug let's just say depending on the drug if it's what they call a me too drug whereas um you know if brian's anti-inflammatory is just another derivative of ibuprofen you know and if you know it's if it's uh brian

profen then they may not give you to full 17 years uh they may only give you like seven to 10 years of uh of bryan before it goes generic um it's right through the first two letters of ibuprofen who would totally be ibuprofen. Ibuprofen. Come on. Ibuprofen. Two Bs. Just add two Bs. That's right. It just changed

the pronunciation, a whole new product. So then you may not get as many years for ibuprofen before it goes generic. So then, you know, then once it's generic, now the brand name manufacturer probably will keep it still, because they'll probably be the one that gets the patent, the initial, because generic even

has their own exclusivity. So when something goes off patent, usually one generic manufacturer will bid for like the first six months or so and then there's only one generic so then it's still pretty expensive so uh then you know brian may may actually win his patent for his own drug so then it's basically he always doing is throwing his brand drug into the generic bottle and they're still making a lot of money off it for another six months and then everybody else in the market can do because a lot of times uh one of the better manufacturers and a lot of the big big time generic companies almost all the

big time generic companies are owned by brand name companies so you're still getting the quality Now, you had a really good, Johnson, you did a really good job explaining, you know, brand versus generic. But a lot of times if you go into like Walmart and you get those, you know, quote unquote generic jeans, they're made, you know, they could be made by the brand company. But if what you're using a gene for is just to have clothes for protection, it doesn't matter whether you have Levi's or Johnson jeans because you're just going to have, you're just going to have, you're just going to, you're getting what you need. That's why a lot of times generic medications, they're just the same. I mean, very rarely are you going to get any more, quote, quote, quality because you just can't. The FDA is just way too stringent on quality, and they are constantly having to send in, you know, you're constantly having to send in more data every year or every other year or such to show that your quality is just as good as it always is or just as a brand name.

And then what ends up happening to some brand names, you know, there's a lot of drugs where the brand name is just gone. They don't even make anymore because it's just not worth it for them because there's so many generics and they're just not making enough money because people are, you know, know insurance companies are not overpaying right um but there's all sorts of like i don't call them backroom deals but there's all sorts of like deals that are going on between like brand name companies and even like the state and federal government because i work i basically do reviews for medicaid in certain states uh and a lot of states the preferred drug on a medicaid preferred drug list is the brand name of a medication and it drives pharmacies crazy and i can't really blame them because they're not really getting you know they're having the stock this more expensive med and they're not

really getting as much paid for, you know, as high a pay rate as they could make. You know, their margins aren't going to be as good as if they were dispensing a generic medication. And I'm sure the government's not paying them. I'm great anyway. You know, I'm just kind of a middleman. So I'm not really with the government. I'm kind of a middleman with doing the Medicaid. But there's so many brand name drugs that are, are quote, quote, preferred because they get rebates from the brand name companies. So it's not considered, because it's the government. So it's not a kickback. It's a rebate. So it's just a, it's all how, it's all fancy wording for the same thing.

So it's interesting because right now there's an influx of these drugs that essentially, like, OZMPIC is huge at the moment for both diabetics as well as people want to just lose weight. It's like the hot new thing. Right. You're starting to see the semi-glutide stuff that doesn't have the brand name happen, and people are getting it way, like when I say cheaper, I mean like fractions of the caste. Right. And only some of that is legal. And there's a lot of loopholes and a lot of the compound. Because for a long time, the brand, I mean, the semagotide wasn't available for, you know, as far as the powder wasn't available.

Because my wife's compounding pharmacist, so she's dealing with some of this right now, too. So the big thing that you're seeing with Wagovi and with OZepic is that they're on these huge manufacturer back orders. And that's the company's got to get their butt in overdrive to put more out because if it's not available, then it is legal to do whatever, you know, whatever you want. As long as it's being made in those right, you know, it's kind of, you've got to have, I believe it's an 800 sterile compounding laboratory because, again, this isn't just a tablet. It's got to be, you know, this is an injectable that's even though it's, you know, I am or subcue, you know, it's still going, it's still an injectable. It's going into the body. So you've got to, it still has to be very sterile. Yeah. But the reason, reason I bring all that up is it seems like they, they have the brand recognition and name advantage for the moment, right? So they can still, they're still going to be the only ones you hear commercials about. backlogged or not, at least for the foreseeable, right? And then I assume that that's the pattern this takes for a while. It's, I don't know. Well, there's four or five main ones that you see right now that are all, I mean,

and I see them every day. This is kind of the, this is pretty much like the biggest thing that I've seen in the last six months is all these weight loss or gLP ones, which most states won't cover it for quote unquote weight loss use. So they have to prove that they're using it for type two diabetes, whereas, you know, other regular insurance companies, they may pay for either one. So right now you see a lot of Ozzympic. You've got Trulicity, Bayetta, Victosa, and, oh, I'm forgetting one.

But anyway, so those are the main ones that you see a lot of. They all sound like bosses in a wing of a World Warcraft raid. They really do. You can clean, so make sure you get it from the back. And then the other ones for weight loss they have are the newer ones. There's Mungaro, Wegovi, and Zipbound. These are all, again, they could either be bosses, Pokemon, or drug names. Those are all the mean ones that you see now for weight loss.

And so the thing is, I'm just waiting for the ceiling to fall because any time in history that something comes out that is the quote unquote wonder drug, all of a sudden one day somebody finds something or it starts causing something and then they're all off the market for you. I really hope it doesn't happen because they are pretty amazing as far as helping with your a hemoglobin A1C, which is basically your blood sugar. They're helping with the A1C. They're helping with weight loss.

There are some side effects with kind of, you know, nausea, and nausea, which is a big one, but you kind of, your body kind of gets used to that a lot of times. And then also, they're starting to see some things with kind of GI paralysis, but that's not quite, that's a very rare one, but you're starting to see them because kind of part of what it does is it's messing with your gastric emptying, so you're feeling like you're full as well as some of the other things that it does with your, you know, with the glickagon and such with the yeah slows your way down so you get a lot yeah yeah it's a for for the type two's it's it it does feel like side effects aside it's got you know this is a powerful

thing for them uh as a as a as all the rage in hollywood for everyone to lose weight i feel like that will explode something weird's going to happen there and oh the the other thing is muscle loss you lose muscle loss or you get a lot of muscle loss on it if you're not working out all the time so that's well and that's the thing that people have to really realize and that's but you try to really stress to anybody using any sort of drug ever. And, you know, even when it becomes to things like lipid drugs, like Lipitor, you know, atorvastatin, synvastatin, like even drugs like that, you've got to have diet and exercise. You just can't be eating worse because you know you're on a weight loss drug.

That's not going to help and it's going to hurt all the kind of the, the, I want to say, I'm trying to say symbiosis, but that's not it. Like, just all your copacetic of your body, like everything's got to be working in order. if you're screwing around with one thing and not replacing other things, you're just going to mess up all your, you know, all your cohesion of your body. So like you said, losing weight, losing muscle mass is not good because that's where, you know, like you say, it is true that muscle does weigh more than fat. So, I mean, when your body's losing stuff, eventually it's going to start breaking down other things as well. So you've got to eat right. You've got to exercise.

And it's an amazing drug. If you've got diet and exercise and getting you back on to the good train, my God, you can lose a lot of weight, get yourself back into a healthy. area. And then, like I say, with a lot of drugs, I mean, once you get to the point, I mean, obviously you can't do this with all drugs. But drugs like this, when you get to where you need to be, just stop them because you don't need to be putting crap in your body no matter what. You don't need it. And that's a pharmacist telling you guys that. You guys hear that? Listen to that. That's smart advice. I like it. Dan, let's talk about the big news. The big news is Slay the Spire is already awesome. It's a most influential deck building game of all video game time. Even if they're better ones since, you can't deny its impact. It is the first name on the list when you think of a deck builder. Absolutely. And it's still one of the best. I mean, even though some great ones have come out, it's still one that people play like crazy.

And it's still one of people go back to. It's still like top ten, top three probably of all time. It might have been the first and it's still one of the best, which is pretty hard to do. A couple years ago, they put out a Slade Aspire, the board game. on Kickstarter, and it just started to release. So when Slate Aspire to board game came out, the first thing I said is, you know what, if I want to play Slate Aspire solo, I'm just going to play it on Steam.

I'm just going to go ahead and grab the computer game. And then I went ahead and backed it out to the collector's edition level because I just could not hold back because it's Slate Aspire anyway, and even for the hope of it to be good, I was all in anyway. You've got to do it. Yeah, the name carries some clouds. And like, there's games I like even more, like I really like Monster Train a lot. I think Monster Train is almost the perfect version of one of these games.

But I don't think Monster Train exists without the trail blazed by Slay the Spire. So it deserves such a ton of respect. It's got a sequel that was just announced. That's coming out in 2025. Oh, cool. But in the meantime, this board game, tell me, what's up? So I'll tell you this. It came in last week on Friday, and I had to dip into it.

It is freaking amazing. It's so good, especially if you're a solo board gamer like I am a lot of times, you will really love this game. If you like rogue-like deck builders and you like solo gaming, and there's a multiplayer, there are multiplayer rules. They're a little chunky, but they're still there and they're okay. And by all accounts, the multiplayer game is still very, very good. But I can't stress enough how great this game is.

And they're going to have a companion app, which will probably speed up some of the things. Now, I say this all the time. And before you laugh at me, Johnson, I want to tell you this. The game itself is a Johnson game, but the setup and gameplay is just not. I feel like it might be a little too fiddly for you because. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Keep going. Because before you even start playing the game, you've got to put like sleeves on about 300 cards. Now, I don't know if you. Really? Yeah. You don't have to. Come on now. have to, but when you're, because it's a deck builder.

So think about how many times you're shuffling. Brian, have you played Dominion a bunch? No. How much you shuffling? Okay, so I'm trying to think like a lot, but you know what? There's something I like. I know, look, I know these purists. I know these purists like you, Dan, who want to keep every card in mint condition and spend, you know, two hours where they get a new game, putting every single card in sleeves.

But I kind of like the little tiny, a little bit of dog ear on the corner, a bit of a a Nick here and there. And, you know, if somebody has the wherewithal to say, oh, I know that Nick is the 500 gold piece card. And smart enough to get it when it comes up. Fine. Fine with me. I'm fine with it.

Yeah. Well, that's a good point. Because actually, since you do so much shuffling, it's, they are, I mean, they're high, high quality sleeves. And I've gone away in the last few years. I am not really a quote unquote sleever anymore. There are only, there are a handful of games that I will actually still sleeve. But it's very, very rare.

This kind of came with the Collectors Edition, which is kind of why I did it. But again, you're shuffling so much. It came with sleeves for the cards? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they were all in the box. Oh, yeah, yeah. So I didn't buy extra sleeves. These are all really, I'll have to send you guys some pictures afterwards about what it looks like.

But the sleeves are high, high quality, and you can actually shuffle them pretty good. There were some sleeves that came with some games that are just not great quality. Star Wars deck building game that came out from Fantasy Flight last year. They came out with these promo sleeves. they were flipping awful. They were terrible. Like before you were even done with one game, they're splitting,

they're coming apart, they were just awful. These sleeves are among the highest quality sleeves that I played with. But the game itself, when you're setting it up, so different nodes, you know how that map,

you know the map of like Slade Aspire where you're going up the different paths? So there are certain modes in there that are random. So you have kind of like, there's two different types. There's one with a white back and one with kind of a gray back.

And you're shuffling, up and you're putting those out for you know uh act one act two and act three so you got to do those before each act and then act one act two act three both have all three of them have they're different they have the different question mark rooms which are all cards they have elite rooms which are different cards there's summons which you don't have to shuffle those because they're just summons and then there's the encounters and those you all have to shuffle so shuffling all that stuff when you go to act two then you've got to put those away into the box grab out act two uh all the new cards shuffle those up Then you're reshuffling.

So then you have your starting deck, which is about 10 to 12 cards, depending on which character you use. And then you have your kind of your drafting deck, which, you know, after each time you win, there's rewards. So you're drafting three cards. So you have to shuffle that pile before each act, because as you're getting them, you can get, there are a couple of random cards that are called golden tickets that basically what it does is it'll give you that chance, that rare. Like if you pull one of those and you get a rare that will come up in your three reward pile. Then there's also things like artifacts that you've got a big stack. or those that you're shopping before each game,

the potions, and then the boss artifacts. So there's a lot, a lot of stuff. But Johnson, man, you would love this game because I know how much you love deck builders. And it goes without saying, Brian, you're going to love this game anyway, because I think you're also kind of a deck builder guy, but I think you'd have more page shuffle.

And I like the, I mean, the fact that the way you describe this is, yeah, this is a game that is almost better as a single player experience than as a multiplayer experience. And that does intrigue me because a lot of times, team won't have time to play a game and I can knock one out down here on the poker table and play something yeah oh yeah absolutely because I've had it set up on my game table because I've got a game topper I've got a set up on there I've had it for like the last four or five days and I played so far I've played all four of the

main characters because it's got the same four main characters it does in the base game was it the ironclad the green guy the defect and the watcher the silent is that the name the silent or the green guy's base he's kind of your, it's like your nature, your druid style thing, but they have a name for it, and I'll forget it. They've got all four of those. The Ironclad, the silent, you're right.

The defect and the watcher, those are your form. And they're all on there, and they all basically, and what's cool is the game also has, like, quote-unlocks. So there's cards that you're not supposed to use until after you've played through the game a few times, and then depending on how many bosses you beat, you're unlocking some more of those cards

to throw in the game, and it helps the difficulty a little, and then there's also ascension levels that you do unlock as well and put other things that make bosses harder. So the whole game is kind of meant to be played more and more and more. And it's, it's, I beat it on a first try with the first three, the first three characters. The watcher I lost after first three acts. So I started it again.

So I'm right in the middle of another play through with the watcher. But, and of course, like, you know, sometimes with the video game, you're doing these crazy combos and things where you're doing like 30, 40 damage, things like that. The game is distilled it down. So like the numbers are much more manageable. So it's not quite exactly. the same as the video game as far as kind of what things do. But the way it handles the

monsters, the way it handles the bosses, is amazing. It does have some challenge that will kind of, you know, and it challenges go up as you play it more and more. But I can't stress enough how freaking cool and how amazing this game is. I'm very happy to hear that. My only complaint about Slay the Spire to then

and now is that the art, I hate the art style. Like, freaking can't stand the drawings and stuff. It doesn't look like it's getting any better on Slay's Spire. No, it's on some of these cards, yeah. see it there yeah and the sequels probably and they have addition they had a special edition where they put out where like it had like special edition like first things art and that's even worse and i i was like yeah i'm not getting that i just you know at least they tried a little bit

and it's in a lot of it's with some of the cards are a little bit updating but most of it is is the same art from the video game and that's what drives me crazy about the video game so the video game slay aspire 2 it says going into early access in 2025 and it looks a lot of the art looks the same and you know how to play the game you're not really giving us that much you know you giving us maybe another character. But what's going to take so damn long? You should have been, you know, creating this in the last few years because it's been out for, I don't know how many years.

It's like Spire's been out. Yeah, I hate waiting and I hate not, I really don't know where the innovation's going to be. I guess we're not going to find out for a whole other year. So it's going to be a while. But in the meantime, hopefully they borrow some from some of the innovation that some of the other companies have come out. And if any of you out there are tired of Slay the Spire, please go play Monster Train. It's so good.

It's so good. It's my preferred one. I like it more than Slay the Spire. It's a fantastic thing. I have hundreds and hundreds of hours in Monster Train. I got to the, I think it's like whatever it is, Ascension 25.

They call it something else. I think they call it ascension, but man, I played the heck out of it for so long. And I haven't played it a long long time, but man, that I played the heck out of it. That's how you know a good game is good.

I bought it on Steam. I bought it on Xbox. I have it on PlayStation. I own it on mobile. It's wonderful on iPad. It's just, it's so good, you guys. That is such a good game.

And every time I, I used to log, I used to log into Steam, and I'd be like, all right, well, let's see where Dan is today. Oh, Monster Train. Okay, cool. And anybody can go to the Discord and just, you know, let us know what your favorite rogue-like deck builders are because there's so many now that they fall into the radar. Like, I've got probably a half a dozen that are kind of coming soon

in my Steam wish list, but I'm always looking for new ones. And, you know, and that's kind of probably the most common thing that me and Johnson will text about, oh, did you play this one? Did you see this other one? Yeah, like this new. One rogue spells, when I'm currently hooked on, it's mixes dice with, so it's basically Slade the Spire and Dicey Dungeons mixed. If you ever played that game.

Spell Rogue. Sorry, Spell Rogue. I always want to say Rogue Spell. I'm mix it up. But anyway, it is awesome. I wish that was on mobile. It's not. I wish it was also on Mac. It isn't. Oh, no, it is. I'm sorry. The update is it. I think so? Shit. Am I thinking of something else? I think it is. Anyway, that game's fantastic.

If you like a little dice in there, oh, what a game. So good. Well, Dan, as always a pleasure. May all the board games you get be full of rules and difficult scenarios. And I hope, you know, yeah, I hope whatever. Oh, go ahead, go ahead. Oh, I was going to say, check out, we're going to be recording another geek all stars this week. And you can find me at geekjack Dan on Twitter.

And like I said, let me or X or whatever. I refuse to call it X. I know. I can't do it. But of course, let us know any of your rogue-like deck builders. I will see you guys next time and have a great week. Awesome, dude. See you later. I was just going to mention this and I'll preempt it with you.

Yeah, Spell Road. I still know Mac. Oh, go ahead. Sorry, I was just going to... This is just a notice that Dune 2 digital is available today. Today is the day. So go to Apple. You can go to Apple. You go to Amazon. Wherever you get your 4K digital, you know, this isn't like Netflix streaming, not like that,

something just got Mac support and I was so excited was it I mean you mentioned Baltoro which oh that's it that's it that's it yeah yeah that's what it was

another amazing game that is another amazing game yeah that's in my top I've got it installed on here and I have not I've still been last time I played it was still on my switch

because I can only play it on the big screen with a switch Now I can actually have it in the corner and be like, I'm talking on the, I'm on a Zoom call with a customer, but I can play a little Baltoe. It's an amazing second screen. I'm on a meeting, a boring Zoom meeting game.

It's perfect for that. All right, that is going to do it for today's show. Real quick here, tonight, the Monday show, on a Tuesday. Carter had an appointment yesterday. We'll tell you all about how that went. But that'll be tonight at 6 p.m. Also today at noon, word on the street with me and Brian Holinka, formerly of Blizzard fame, now with the fantastic pixel castle crew.

We're going to talk about their new MMOs combat so far. I mean, they're early in the process. They just showed off some stuff. I'm going to really pick his brain today. So be there today, noon right here at frogpants.tv for the live show or the podcast later. And I think that's everything, unless you have something. Brian, do you have anything else before we go? We'll see.

I've got to, oh, I can't even hold this up because it'll spoil a, a potential taskmaster, not even potential. It'll spoil a taskmaster thing, so I can't show people what that is. But if I can get this thing done, then a little Millennium Falcon build today. Hopefully, instead of me lifting, watch me lose small screws in my workshop. A lot of fun. A lot of fun thing, dude. The funest part is finding those screws after you have lost it.

That's right. That's why I have magnets. I have those magnets. Scott. Magnets. Wow. That's fantastic. Magnets.

Let's get... America magnetic again, folks. Sorry, I was sleeping. I didn't catch what you were talking about there. I heard he slept in his... Fell asleep in his thing. And his mouth went slack. I love it.

That's amazing. All right. Let's... Wake him up. Wake him up. Wake him up. I mean, look, I would be bored in a case as well, but this is like a big one and you're also on camera. They keep bringing up hush.

Every time they bring up hush, makes me fall asleep. He says, oh, Trump paid some hush money and I fell asleep because I hear the word hush. Yeah, he listened to his mom and he was little. I get it. Hush, little baby, don't say a word. Grow up to be a great big turd. All right, Brian, let's play. Let's do a song out of your massive library of songs we can play.

What do you guys? Okay. Hey there, Slicer and Beefsteak, says Andrew slash Bubba West. I'd like to request a cover of or by Dave Matthews Band. for my beautiful wife, Justine. Hmm, ten years ago, today my wife, I'll do the whole thing in Dave Matthews speak. Ten years ago, today my wife and I were surrounded by friends and family,

getting married at the Chapel of the Flowers in Las Vegas. Since then, our plans have changed in ways we never could have thought. We moved 25 miles into the country onto a five-acre plot because our cat, Griswold, was a terrible neighbor. She wanted a garden. Now we have two giant greenhouses, ten fruit trees, 47 chickens, three cats, now 46 chickens, two dogs, now two cats. A nearly completed Airbnb in our basement and a pretty booming business at the local

farmer's market. If my plans go right today, when she hears this, we will be driving into town to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Guadalaras. There's no J in there. I was hoping it would be Guadalajara's, but it's Guadalaras. He says, Justine, I'm excited for every moment we get to be together. I love you, honey, and I'm sorry. It's not the Bob and Sherry show or the brand that sounds kind of.

of Sexy. Oh. Still pretty neat, though. Bubba, West Acres Garden, Stratford, South Dakota. I need more information about that last line, Andrew. Yeah. Can you fill us in on what you meant by Sexy Brian, please? Yeah.

Maybe I'm going to go to another request right now and pick somebody else. P.S., I have right angle scar on the tip of my finger from pinking shares because I didn't listen to my mother the first, second, or third times. Little boy, Bubba was naughty. Wow. All right. letting it all out. Damn it.

All right. Well, I'm going to play your request anyway, Andrew and Justine. I don't know what the Bob and Sherry show or the brand that sounds kind of sexy, but, you know, whatever. Fine. I'll play this anyway. Speaking of sexy, this is a sexy cover. This is Jody Sider's cover of the Dave Matthews bands The Space Between a beautiful song to begin with and then delivered by the amazing vocals of Jody Siders just increasingly. exponentially sexifies it.

From her album, Uncovered from 2013, here's Jody Siders and The Space Between. You can't quit me so quickly. There's no hope in you for me. No corner you could squeeze me. But I got all the time. for you love the space between the tears we cry

so laughter keeps us coming back the more the space between the wicked lies we tell and hope to keep safe from our name But will I hold you again? These fickle-fuddled words confuse me

Like will it rain today Waste the hours talking These twisted games we're playing strange allies with warring hearts what a while I'd be still be the space between the wicked lies we tell and hold to keep safe from the pain will I hold you again Will I hold you Look at it spinning out In the madness of the roller coaster You know you went off like a devil in a church

In the middle of a crowded room All we can do, my love is hope we don't take this ship down The space between where you're smiling high It's where you'll find me If I get to go The space between The bullets and a fire

Is where I'll be hiding Waiting for you The rain that falls Splash in your heart Red lights at sadness down the wind Into the space between The wicked lies we tell And hope to keep safe from pain

Take my hand Because we're walking out of here of you love is all we need here the space between what's wrong and right is where you'll find me hiding waiting for you the space between

your heart and mine is the space will fill with Fill with time.
