The Morning Stream.
This car smells weird.
Weird.
Good morning, everybody.
Welcome to TMS.
It is Wednesday, May 15th, 2024.
I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Ibit.
Yes, you're right.
Yes, it's true.
With it is me.
I'm here with Scott Johnson.
He's the cherry in your cherry pie.
Hmm.
I don't know what that means.
It seems pretty obvious to me.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
It does to me as well.
Let's dive into a Wednesday of TMS, everybody.
Hope you're all well.
We're here.
We're here to do it.
And like we always are.
We shall and we will, yes.
I found a thing.
I just need to get this out.
I found a thing that's very specific to something you're working on.
Yeah, that's funny.
Yeah.
And I didn't like finding it.
So I went out, I'm out walking the dog yesterday.
Sure.
and like you do you know they gotta pee and stuff and um i'm out there doing that i'm near the park
and uh i'm i'm walking around and i see this gutter and in the gutter there's some some trash and
sometimes when i see trash in a gutter i'm like i'm picking that up throwing it away i'm going to be
a good citizen here you know i live here too i'd like this to be nice i don't know who who threw
their you know chick-fil-a wrapper in here but i'm going to go take care of it no problem
wash my hands after it's fine yeah yeah exactly bring gloves so i go to do that and
you'd think, well, what happens, Scott?
You find like a wad of condoms or something or something gross like that?
Well, you're in the neighborhood.
Literally.
Yeah.
I found a, well, I shouldn't speak to its use, its number of uses or anything.
I assumed it's used.
Sure, sure.
I mean, yeah.
But I found one of these there, them there butt plugs that you...
Something that I'm currently building a storage device, a Infinity Gotlet storage device for.
That's right.
And I've wrapped it up, and it's on its way to you, to your P.O. box.
Oh, no, no, no.
Oh, you don't want any more of those, do you?
You don't want that.
Return to sender.
Okay.
Address unknown.
All right, excellent.
Well, I'm going to go down there and tell them to not.
I'm going to put a stop on that show.
Unsend, unsend, undo.
So I did not, as a result, pick up the trash around it even because I was like, well, hold on.
This is a, this is a nasty thing.
And I ain't touching it.
So, I didn't want to take a picture of it because it was great.
But it sure makes you wonder.
the story right like how did it end up there yeah and you know what here's the worst part of it
because my imagination is the worst right across the street from this park where that gutter is
is a family that i know very well they're very sweet people wonderful kids nice nice people
but they walk funny but they there's a little hitch in their step and now no i i i'm trying
not to apply it to them because i don't think it was
them. So what's the other story? Somebody out in the street.
Could be a kid goofing around. It's just on the edge of the park.
It is on the edge of a park. Yeah. So I mean, you know, somebody's like,
uh, uh, oh, I accidentally left the house with this in.
But I'm going to the airport and, uh, the metal detectors are going to flag me. What do I do
with this? Oh, can you imagine? Because they would, right? Metal detector would go off.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
And then they'd do the little wine and it'd go,
roo-row.
Yeah, and they'd go, sir, could you come in this back room with us, please?
And you'd be like, no.
Well, anyway, I don't have a way to ascribe it to anything.
I don't know what to say about it other than maybe don't,
maybe don't leave those in the gutter, man.
Like, take them home or throw it away or do something.
You know?
Even find a trash can, you know, if you're going to,
if you're going to discard it, discard it in a proper receptacle.
And there's one, like, less than, I don't,
12 feet from it, a garbage can.
Yeah.
That would have been a perfect place for it to go.
And I'm going to go out there again today and see if it's still there.
If it's...
Don't post pictures on X, please.
I'm never doing that.
I'll never do that.
But if I see it, then I'll...
What do you do? I just leave it.
What else am I going to do, Brian?
I can't do anything.
I mean, you don't have...
So I have a ton of these, like, black latex gloves that I use for 3D printing.
And, I mean, if it were me personally, I'd probably pick it up and just throw in a receptacle, maybe bring a little...
I've got some of these two.
I've got these...
I was just looking for them.
I have some blue ones, blue, you know, surgical glove type things.
Maybe I'll do that.
I'll go out there with one of those on.
Or hell, I could just use one of the dog's poo bags that I take.
Oh, yeah, use one of the dog's poo bags, exactly.
That's like a, that's a glove you have with you all the time.
when you go for a walk with the dogs.
And you can even put some poo in there.
Yeah, and have it be...
It'll feel right at home.
Oh, my gosh.
Anyway, it's like the last thing you want to see on a dog walk,
but there it was.
And we're going to have to just deal.
We're going to have to groove out.
Yeah, there are you.
Good morning, everybody.
I hope you would enjoy your breakfast.
Yeah, your eggs, you toast, your bacon.
All right.
Let's see what else we got going.
Oh, good news on the,
infected eye front it is uh oh yeah doing much better it's like it's looking yeah it's looking
a little puffy a little red and puffy right here right yeah yeah but it's um doesn't hurt anymore
and no longer itches i can tell it's the swellings down it turns it turns out my my body's
immune system has taken uh swift care of it and uh i'm never here's what i'm gonna do you are
you are strangely the most competitive person when it comes to help i know right it is so weird
it is weird i agree with you i love it but i but i but i but i but i
I chuckle at it.
I agree with you.
I think that it's a little bit strange.
Right.
What's your percentage?
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know why I do that.
By the way, I'm going to make a recommendation.
Roto maximum strength.
Eye drops.
There's just a little bit of sting to these.
It's not the stuff that does the red out.
It's not the vizine, shrinking your blood vessels and stuff.
No, none of that.
But they're really like kind of bracing.
You put them in.
They go, ooh.
Maybe don't touch that thing in the park until you're.
till your eyes.
I know.
Don't get close to it.
Even that shape is a little concerning, right?
Yeah, I don't like the roto.
I feel like something you put in your face should not come from a company called
Roto.
Roto.
Let's see.
That's a full name it is.
Roto Max Strength.
Well, you make a good point.
But I found it to be soothing and it worked well.
So if any of you are out there suffering with a little conjunctiveitis or, you know,
eye issue, perhaps that's the brain.
for you.
It's a good, I swear, it looks like a bottle of perfume.
You get a Claire's boutique.
It kind of does, right?
Yeah.
Or the stuff you spray in your, not spray, but squeeze into your water to give it a little
bit of flavor.
Oh, yeah.
A little fruit punch flavor.
Or that thing, that thing Claire had in Vegas that she was always microdosing her little
bottle with.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, anyway, Brian, we got to talk about ships.
Yes.
From an expert who knows.
Ladies and gentlemen, and all the ships at sea.
That's right.
Jeff from Canada.
He wrote in, and he says this.
Scott and Brian, this is a response to Monday's story of the cruise ship hitting a whale,
and Scott's saying they probably couldn't avoid it because cruise ships are so not maneuverable.
This is not firsthand knowledge.
I've never been in the engine room on a cruise ship.
However, I do work in a power plant, and many people that work in power plant operators got their start in marine engineering.
So I've heard a lot of their stories.
Your American nuclear plant would be, or plants would be empty.
if not for ex-Nabby nuke ships and sub guys.
Oh, really? Interesting. I didn't know that.
Kind of the training ground for those guys?
I guess that's a great place. Yeah, no kidding.
What a great career path to go there.
I feel better knowing that the guys who've done that sort of thing
who are managing our nuclear plants.
I agree. I wonder if Tanner, so Tanner works in a plant like that in Arizona.
I wonder how many of his, if his coworkers are all that like that or not.
The mindless drones in sector G.
Yep.
I do picture it kind of Simpsons.
I do too.
I don't know why.
Basically, I picture Tanner having a circular control panel that wraps around him with a picture of Maggie and a little thing that says do it for her right around it.
Oh, I love that episode.
That's such a great episode.
It's sweet, Brian.
It's a sweet heartfelt episode.
It's such a clever.
It's like a cartoon version of the Madfolden is what it is, because he covers up all the other letters and leaves Do It for Her.
It's adorable.
Anyway, it goes on to say, surprisingly, cruise ships are extremely maneuverable, according to people he works with.
They are not fast, and I think they, sorry, I think they have to change direction very slowly, but at a low speed, they can be maneuvered in almost any direction.
That's interesting.
The propellers are powered by massive electric motors, and the propellers can be rotated in a wide arc.
I don't know if it's 360, but very wide, so they can move in any direction, not just forward or reverse.
Jen and I were on a cruise ship that rotated 360 degrees in place as an example.
Ours did that, too, and I had to turn around.
Yeah.
It did the whole, like, basically, Captain pulls up and says,
watch this, I'm going to back into this parking space.
Watch this.
Yeah, those guys.
I don't know how they, honest ass shit scares me, how you park something.
Like Nick got it, Nick just got his G, whatever, I forgot the name,
the license to drive like a big semi-sized truck.
Oh, yeah, like commercial driver's license.
Yeah, yeah.
Because he got this new, this new job that,
needs it and um that scares me so i barely want to do a minivan dude i can't i know but i hear from
people who do it a lot that they you know and they say it's actually a lot easier to back those
things up than you would expect like i remember you know i used to have a boat and i had trailer
and i would drive the the boat up to the lake in my Chevy chevette and i'd have to go to the
uh the ramp and lower my boat into the water and it was i was just so like you
little movements with the wheel
and still I think go
I can turn exactly the wrong way I'd want it
That's how I always felt
I drove from my dad sometimes doing boats
And it felt like I was jackknife
And half the time
Yeah but
I didn't know this about you Mr. Boatman
Tell us more about this time of your life
It was a single sail sunfish
And I won many a race with that boat
It was
It's kind of your you know
It's kind of your starter boat
Right
Sailboat
But sailing, like wind sailing type stuff.
Sailing, yeah, no motor on this thing whatsoever.
It holds two people maximum, although I probably got three or four on there at times.
But it's like one of those where there's a little tiny, I mean, it's bigger, obviously bigger than a kayak because you have to have a sail on there and everything.
But it's got like a little place where you sit on the side and put your feet down in this hole and then you switch places whenever you come about.
When the wind changes or you're going, you know, attacking back and forth.
to get to the next buoy to race around it and stuff.
My dad was sailing his star sailboat at the time,
and so I'd go up with him, and I'd have my sailboat.
He'd have his race, and then down at the other end of the lake,
I'd have to be the sunfish races, and I would do those.
That's cool.
So we're talking, what, 90s, 80s?
80s into the early 90s.
Like I had it when Tina and I got married,
and even when we moved into our house,
in the mid-90s,
and then I sold it fairly shortly before we moved here.
So I had that boat up until the late 90s,
but the last time I sailed, it was probably the mid-90s.
Wow, you know what?
The great thing is I can picture your captain-ass-looking ass up on a ship.
I bet there are, there's got to be photos out there for me on a boat,
and on my sunfish.
And I had one incident where, so the mast, you've got the mask going straight up and then you've got the boom.
And basically they make a little L shape and then the sail goes between the two.
And when you come about that thing, if it's really windy, you can swing by really, really fast.
And at one point, it caught me in the chest.
And so if you ever see me with like swimming or in a hot tub and I've got my shirt off, there's a scar right here on my chest.
You can kind of see it.
Yeah, you can kind of see it.
Look at that.
He's got to move that massive bush of hair that he grows there.
I know exactly this Baldwin-level bush of hair.
Anyway, I got this nice scar from one of the bolts that is on there to hold the line that holds the sail in place.
Damn, dude, that sounds bad.
Like it really knocked the wind out of here or something.
It knocked the wind out of me.
You know, it was really more like a, oh, God, that's painful, but I can't really, like, can't worry about it right now because I was in the middle of a race or something.
But that was one of those boats where it was just, you could have a blast just capsizing it and then climbing on the back and flipping it back up.
Like, we would do that to wash it off and stuff.
We'd take our sunfishes out in the middle of the lake and then intentionally capsize them to flip them to get on the rudder on the bottom and then flip them back up to wash it.
Could you fish on those things or no?
No.
No.
I mean, you could, you could fish from it.
You'd lower the sail and just kind of float, but you don't have an anchor or anything
like that to keep you in place, so you'll do more trawling than you'll do fishing.
Gotcha.
Well, that's great.
I didn't know this part of your life.
This is new.
I've got to find some old photos of my boat.
It's cute.
It was a cute little little boat.
I imagine you could, you know, people can Google sunfish sailboat and stuff.
see what they look like and yeah let's take a look at that real quick just for fun here sunfish sail
boat oh yeah they come right up uh yeah oh yeah these look fun they are fun yeah oh i would do this right now
this sounds great it's great it was so such a blast and uh you ever think you'll get back into it no
no no i don't think i would it's it's expensive to uh to to buy and to maintain and um and you know
know, if I want to go sailing, I'll just go up to Vermont, visit my dad, and we'll go on Lake
Pontchartrain, no, Pontchartrain, no, Lake Champlain and wrong end of the U.S.
We'll go on Lake Champlain and do a little sailing there, and I'll be just fine.
That sounds all right.
Yeah, if it's not a hobby you're going to do every weekend, maybe not do it, you know?
Yeah, exactly.
He finishes this by saying, large ships are like small power plants.
they produce electricity to power the electric motors that power propulsion and other systems.
I've heard a lot, a lot, or sorry, lots and lots of crazy ship stories, says Jeff.
Well, I bet you have.
I would love to be.
That's wild, yeah.
Like around these dudes, these old Navy dudes all the time talking about it.
Working in the nuclear power plants and stuff for sure.
Yeah.
Because you know they have stories and all kinds of cool shit.
Yeah, Tina not a fan of, we've talked about this before, right?
How she's just not a fan of the cruise ships.
anymore wants to go like me i want to go to a place explore it and then fly somewhere else and
explore it as opposed to all right we've got six hours here for you to discover this uh brand new
island that you've never been to and check out all the cool things but be back here in six hours
because we're going to leave without you yeah um there's one to bermuda that my mom's been
trying to talk us into where the the ship basically docks in bermuda for three days and so
you you you sail there you you get full you know you get three days and you you
you have a nice little hotel to come back to, just happens to float.
And then the next morning, you go back out and explore more of Bermuda.
That kind of thing I'd totally be able.
Yeah, that sounds all right, because that's more like a regular, you know.
It's more like flying somewhere and having a hotel, but you've got a nice little boat.
Yeah.
And Bermuda sounds lovely, you know?
Yeah.
It's not just the shorts.
It's the, it's not just the shorts.
The sun, it's the ladies.
I don't know what they're like.
The rules, you can't walk around shirtless there, I think, is the, there's like a deal about that.
Oh, is that the thing?
I didn't know.
the yeah in bermuda that's wild it was when we had the bermuda telegraph we had a we had a
we had a bermuda newspaper i did not get to do that installation they took the sales team took
that one themselves of course and uh they came back and said you know there are all these rules
it's way more you know hoity tooty than you would expect uh huh that surprises me it just feels
like the kind of thing you know tropical getaway you'd be shirtless all the time it's i guess
it's not that appropriate.
Let's see, Bermuda dress code, Fedora's Travel Guide.
Weird.
This is so weird to me.
Is it because of the triangle?
They're afraid they'll fall into that triangle again and...
Boy, that's a...
It's not a jeans place.
Casual pants are fine, like cotton caprize.
If we're in T-shirts, we're a nice one instead of something with writing all over it.
Really?
I guess that's somebody talking about a Bermuda restaurant and stuff.
Oh, okay.
It's a conservative place is what people are saying about, yeah.
You know, you'd never do hear about Bermuda Triangle accidents anymore.
You notice that?
No, no.
It's almost as if it was happening at a time where we didn't have good GPS.
Yeah, and you couldn't prove a lot of it, you know, because we don't know.
How do we know?
We don't know.
It's like now with Bigfoot sightings.
Nobody has Bigfoot sightings anymore.
Do you know why?
Because the fakers don't dare do any more fakes because it's too easy to prove, disprove.
And secondly, we have ways of like seeing through the four.
with infrared vision, there ain't no giant apes walking around the forest, okay?
We can probably see, yeah.
We can find those skunk apes.
Yeah, I hate that.
And this goes out to my buddy in my old neighborhood.
I won't even say his name, but he believes 100% in Bigfoot.
And I would just like to say to him.
So you a squatch hunter?
He is a total squatch hunter.
Him and his dad go up to like Washington State every couple years and go for sightings of Bigfoot.
That's what they do.
And let me shock you with something.
As long as I've known him for about 20 years now, they've never found Bigfoot.
Weird.
Well, it's obviously because they're not trying hard enough.
That's clearly the reason.
Yeah, so weird.
Anyway, all right, we're going to get to the Tad Pooley feud because it's always a beefy time, you know.
It is.
Time for beef.
I should log in.
Let me do that real quick.
Brian's in there.
You didn't even take your color?
He left your color for you.
Yeah, I appreciate that, Brian Donaway.
you're a swell fella.
I need to take the third caller today.
That's what we'll do.
And we'll see if we can get done away in here first.
Okay, here we go.
And while you're doing that, I'll remind people, don't worry,
you guys can still get in on the current survey.
We were only two questions into the current survey.
So visit what is it, tiny.cc slash tadpool survey, I believe.
Sure.
I think that's what it was, or it was last time I checked.
If not, frogpants.com says,
PMS also has a link.
Oh, there you go.
If you get a link there, then that's, then we're good.
Yeah, I think that is right, though.
Hey, let's do this.
Joining us as he does every Monday and Wednesday.
We have Brian Dunaway here to play a little game.
Hi, Brian.
Oh, hi, Scott and Brian.
Hi.
Hi.
Is it Wednesday already?
It is.
Leave it.
I know.
How'd your camel doing?
Is he doing good on this hump day?
Oh, I get it.
What's the one, what two humps called?
There's two different names.
I call him a two humper.
D is dromedary and makes one hump.
And B is the Bacarach.
Yes, Bactrian.
Bactrian, that's it.
Really?
That's weird.
I would assume that.
You turn the letter on its side, and it makes either one hump or two humps,
and that's how you tell your camels.
How many humps I give?
Two love you.
You give.
Two lovely lady humps is what you do.
Lovely lady humps.
Let's see, we're going to add to the call our, let's see,
who do we have here that's third?
Do we have a third?
Oh, you know what?
We do, and also it'll be nice to check in.
Hold on a second.
We have a recipient of some recent surgery,
and we'd like to see how she's doing.
Oh.
She was also.
Oh, you didn't just post surgery in the, in the, I heard the Discord.
You didn't just post a surgery photo.
No, hell no, none of that.
Hello.
Hi, September. How are you doing?
I'm doing okay.
Yeah, I was...
My iPad keeps ringing.
I already answered.
Yeah, just tell your iPad to F off.
Are you, you're doing well then, recovering?
You know, we have to get into details here, but you had a little surgery.
We hope you're good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's good.
Yeah.
That's good.
I'm sitting on clothes wearing a nice pack and watching you goofballs.
No.
Rob is taking care of you, making sure you've got everything your heart desires.
almost everything.
Come on, Rob, step it up.
Yeah, Rob, what are you? Slackin?
I don't want to hear almost.
That's right.
He's working on trying to get a new job because he got laid off.
Oh, geez.
Oh, jeez.
Nice timing.
Geez, Louises.
Well, all right.
I'm glad you're okay, but, you know, may your pillow be soft and your ice pack
be terminal.
No, wait, not terminal.
What's the word I'm looking?
Oh, gee.
May it stay cold forever, is what I was trying to say.
Anyway, tell Rob we wish them the best on that hunt for jobs.
And in the meantime, you're going to play a little game with us.
This will cheer you up post-surgery.
Brian, why don't you explain the rules as we know them anyway, and who might win what?
Sure, sure.
Everybody sing along with me.
It's time to play the tadpooly feud.
I've surveyed the tadpul on some nerdy topics,
and Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us.
It is their job to see how many of those answers they can guess.
September, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian.
If your team wins, you'll get a prize.
What includes Impulsion and Escape Game Fort Boyard.
Oh, my gosh.
I don't know what to say.
It both sound fun.
Yes.
Escape game Fort, the Boyard is escape game.
You must escape the fort.
Great.
You know, the Russians have made real inroads with these games.
They really have.
It's been all downhill since Tetris.
That's right.
Exactly.
All right.
Let's get to your topic here.
Put your hands on your buzzers and give me your best.
answer to this. We asked 460
Tadpoolers. Name
something you keep
in your glove compartment.
Oh!
Scott. Gloves.
I swear we've done this before.
Show me gloves.
Number six,
five answers will beat it.
And we have not done this topic before, I don't think.
Really?
I don't think so.
Five answers will beat it. Brian, you've got,
what do you got? What do you keep in your?
The only thing I keep over there
is my registration for when I get pulled over
I can reach over at my glove box
like there's a gun in it so I freak out
Damn it
Show me your registration
Number one answer on the board
Yeah, jerk
Hands on the wheel, sir
Hands on the wheel
10 and two
Kubrick Jr.
That's right
Brian you've got control of the board
And you've got September to help you
along through this
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, September's going to do real good.
Starting off with one point to Scott's six,
but you do have control the board,
so let's get some points on here for you.
What do you got?
What else do you keep in your glove compartment?
Or more importantly,
what is the tadpole keep in their glove compartment?
I'm still processing the fact that Scott must be super old.
They named the glove box like in 1920
when people used to have goggles and gloves.
This is one of those cases where I was like,
I want to be first so bad that I really really,
I really am not thinking about a good answer.
September, what do you keep in your glove box?
Napkins.
Napkins, that's right.
Whenever you go to any fast food place,
you've got to stuff a whole bunch of them in there.
So disappointing when there's none there, though.
Give me 42 napkins, but I'm only going to use one.
So put the other 41 in the glove box.
It's a mom thing.
It's very much a mom.
Oh, it's also a lift driver thing.
It's like, oh, yeah, make sure you got some napkins in case.
There's going to be some mess in here.
Exactly.
Show me napkins.
Number two, answer on the board.
You got three points.
You did so good.
I'm curious, what else you keep in there, September?
Any other things?
I keep, like, I don't know what you would call it.
Like, you get those forked knife.
It's more, you know, fast food stuff like.
A spork?
Yeah, like utensils maybe?
Yeah, utensils.
I keep chopsticks, but I'm, that's, you know, very.
Well, those are, and those you can use for many other things, too.
Well, a choptic can use for eating, but I can eat with them or I can put my hair up.
Oh, very nice.
Chapstick is dangerous where I live.
You'll come back and end up with an empty, empty tube.
Oh, yeah, yeah, just melt.
Yeah, exactly.
All right.
Show me plastic utensils.
Oh, come on.
No KFC sports.
People said it, but it was low, tied for 33rd place.
Wow.
They're all just eating with your hands.
They are eating.
They're chicken nuggets in their double cheese and macaroni and cheese.
I'm going to say one of those little tire gauge units, the little...
Ooh, yeah.
They look like a little crack pipe, those ones?
Keep that out of there.
Boy, I get in so much trouble with the police.
Keep your hands on the wheel.
Oh, is that a crack pipe?
No, sir.
No, promise.
But you're not wrong.
All right, show me the tire pressure gauge.
number five answer on the board
Scott already up to 11 points
Once again Scott continues to show his age
Yeah I don't think I've had
I don't think I've had a car that had a tire pressure gate
Since I don't know
That's insane
Invented detection
That's insane because you
We were in Vegas and we got
We ended up with two screws and one tire
And it was slowly leaking
We kept getting the indicator saying your
Your tire's a little low
We get out and we look at it looked fine
We go back we drive around Vegas a bit
and then we would do it again, and then we started to know us it was a little lower.
So we did that thing.
We were like, get out the gauge, compare them all, and they were sure enough, and then we took it into Big O and they fixed it.
All right, well, tell us more about your A model.
Your instrument panel doesn't tell you which tire it is that's got the low pressure, just like so.
One of your tires is low pressure.
Good luck.
Good question.
Now that you say that, I'm not sure how it told us, but maybe it told us per tire.
I don't remember now.
Lay off on the old,
doesn't the way.
Scott's right on these.
Yeah, I'm right on these, you bastard.
Whatever, chapstick.
Look at the points you got.
I did not say chapstick.
I'm going to go with,
because we have them in there,
so I don't know if this could be good,
but like a little sanitary wipes,
like, you know,
like chlorox wipes that you use to wipe up down.
Wet wipes or something like that.
Post-pendemic, you got a good chance at that.
Yeah, it's true.
All right, show me.
wet wipes.
Oh shit.
Number it's up there.
Let's see here. 21. Number 21 on the list.
Okay. I feel
dumb about that, but that's fine.
That's fine. Now, September,
I do have one.
Okay.
Is the instruction book on my car?
What do you think about that? Yeah, I think the
manual just never comes out of there.
No, but it's in there. What do you think? Is that too
lame? Or you think we should go with something else?
No, I mean, I've got something else, but I think manual is pretty standard.
Oh, I like that.
You said manual, then standard.
Because no one looks at it.
That's true.
That's true.
Where are you going to put it?
I put my spare tire in there.
No, it's the manual.
Give me the manual.
All right.
Let's go.
Owners manual.
Number four, bring you guys up to seven points.
Get a little closer to Scott's 11.
What's you got, September?
You said you had one in the chamber?
Sunglasses.
Ooh, put my sunglasses on in the glove box.
Do you wear them at night?
I have to.
I have that night vision thing.
All right.
Show me sunglasses.
Oh, you kidding me.
Are you kidding me?
I'm going to do it like this.
I'm going to do that, but you're not getting a strike counted against you because that was our number 11 answer.
And we're trying to do that where if you get the number.
11 answer you don't you don't lose your turn you don't get any point but you get another guess yeah so number 11 was your sunglasses that's awesome good i love that we finally got to try this thing it's cool yeah yeah all right so number 11 so you get another guess i feel so loved you do feel loved now i i have one september do you want to do another one you want me to what do you got what do you got i got i always keep a pen in mind because i'm always needing the pin too i mean i always have it in my purse
Yeah, me too, but when I'm not putting it there, I keep in the glove box.
Yeah, when John, when you forget your purse, all hell breaks this.
I hope writing utensil, like, because I also have sharpies everywhere I go.
Like, I hope it, it's all together.
I do that too.
We got sharpies all over the car, just everywhere.
Except right on somebody's window.
Nice parking asshole.
Oh, I didn't think of that.
I'm going to use it for that next time.
That's what the white shoe polish is for.
Like a kind of person
That's right
All right
Show me
Sharpie or pen or whatever
Oh come on
Number 10
There you go
Some good points right there yeah
That's a good one guys
That brings up to 17 to Scouts 11
You haven't that was close
You think you think people
They don't keep utensils
You think they keep ketchup and condiments in there
What do you think?
Yeah
I mean
Or is condom a better answer
No that's true
we can't but yeah is condom a better answer
jeez
the worst she knows at a high temperature either pro tip
uh oh pro tip true story
a lot of people
in the chat are saying insurance info but like
yeah doesn't everybody just get a card that's in your wallet now
well i mean yeah but these are old people apparently they already
pick gloves the treasure gauge yeah old people
is the tad fool smart enough to always have a flashlight
Ooh, I like that.
That's when you're phone, too.
Dern, now I'm getting confused.
All right, well, was it when you said first time.
Insurance stuff.
That was a pretty good answer, in my opinion.
Dern.
I don't know if you think, September.
I'm worried people just like registration and insurance, like it's the same.
Yeah.
No, it's not.
If you hand the cop your registration and go, that's my insurance, too.
Yeah, I would tell you, actually, I would have put registration slash insurance if I lump those together.
All right.
Show me insurance.
Insurance.
man number three 20 points total for but you're right
i haven't printed one out in forever i just keep it on my phone
oh see i always did we get these we get these big old sheets it's not it's not little
card sized anymore i probably could fold it down but i don't want i don't want to take a valuable
wallet space and have been be a castanza with my i don't need it when i'm not in the car so
why would i keep it anywhere but in the car right that's a good point all right you guys are
still eating jerks three
was left on the board seven I know what I
I know what I used to keep my blood box
but now I keep it in my center console
I get so sick of receipts
and every time I go somewhere
I got to shove one in there
when I think about receipts
receipts
I use it for that but it's like only specific
receipts
I know I need to keep for a long time
right I'll let you make the call
either use that one or go for something wild
airbrush
I don't know.
That's something technology has not outdone.
What?
Hairbrushes and comb?
There's no airbrush app on your phone.
Not a one.
Brush comb or toothbrush, I think, are all good.
Brush.
You should have them.
Brush?
Yeah.
Brian lumps the brushes.
Brush it.
Brush.
All right.
Show me a brush.
Brash.
Oh.
Hold on. I gave the wrong, I get to the wrong person. There you go. Sorry. I had to give the, uh, the X to the right person.
Uh, comb brush did not make the list. But I will tell you, somebody said toothbrush.
Someone said toothbrush. One person said toothbrush. It's way down at the bottom.
You mean a hygienic person. I like you. Yeah. I like people who take care of their teeth.
Toothrush is a road trip trick. If I'm getting tired and I go and wash my face and brush my teeth,
it just kind of gives me a jumpstart
like I'm resetting
This is funny
I'm just the opposite
I'm like time to go to bed
You know what
Maybe you
Maybe that's a solution
Every 30 minutes
When I drive long distance
Every 30 minutes
I brush my teeth
And wash my face
That way I won't fall asleep
Perfect great idea
It takes six hours
Until I need a toothbrush
That's right
Scott you got control of the board
Three answers left on the board
You've got two strikes left
All right we're
I'm just thinking of all the shit we have
So I'm just going to stay on that road
Good points, too.
I'm going to say first aid kit of some sort.
Oh, good.
Oh, that's smart.
Sure.
Not just a very important thing to have in your car, but a great band as well.
Show me first aid kit.
Oh, come on.
Really?
Number 13.
Are you big for a glove compartment?
Are they?
One of those ones that just has like the couple band-aids and an alcohol prep pad.
Do you mean the most?
They shouldn't even call those first-aid kits.
They should just call that dressing.
or something. I mean, it's...
That's right. No, no, no. You better have some minor injuries, is what we're saying.
I'm thinking, like, a parking pass. I mean, that's not something I do anymore. I usually
do all that stuff in my phone, but...
Well, try it in there. What do you think, September? No, I'll ask September.
Or something. Too hard to get out of this. I keep my hot pockets in there. You think that's
in there? Keep some hot. That's for sure.
I live in the south, so they're good and ready by the time I get out.
Frozen food.
I keep a frozen entree in there.
What about?
I like flashlight.
That was a pretty good answer you would said earlier.
That was, I think people still, I don't know.
I thought we lost on that one, dude.
You guys have not guessed flashlight.
We didn't guess flashlight.
Did we guess flashlight?
light.
You did not get splish light either.
All right.
It was too bad.
I don't want to see.
I never, I never want to see Brian's glove box.
Also, you can borrow my wet wipes.
And where are those latex gloves we talked about?
Please do.
That's about all I got.
Yeah, I can't think of anything else.
I keep my glove box personally.
All right.
I keep my reading glass in there, but if they didn't have sunglasses,
they're not going to have reading glasses in there.
Yeah, I keep face.
Well, and sunglasses and reading glasses, I did lump together, so.
Yeah.
But they said no to wet wipes, so baseman.
How about I keep my, how about I keep my gun in there?
Oh, my.
I know, I know somebody's been screaming it.
I don't know, and they're screaming it really loud, wavering their gun around.
Well, I've got.
What about your gun, Brian?
What about the gun?
I have family who keeps a gun in his car like that, keeps in his glove box.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I know plenty of people that do, but let's not.
How about flashlight?
All right.
All right.
For those long...
Oh, oh, flashlight.
Okay, yeah.
All right, show me...
Show me flashlight.
Yeah, boy, I was hoping
you wouldn't talk to yourself out of it a second time.
Number seven answer on the board,
giving you guys 27 points
really close to locking this thing up.
Yeah, if we get one more,
even if Scott got it,
we would wrap it up regardless.
Exactly.
All right.
Yep.
Oh, why did they have to get so hard?
The score on 27 to 11 currently.
How about those little, how about a stress ball?
I keep that in there, really good thing.
Paper clips, maybe paper clips.
What do you think?
Paper clips, maybe.
Stress ball.
In case you drive by a stack of loose paper or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How about some coins?
A lot of people are you saying CDs.
Oh, CDs, good Lord.
Yeah.
Get out your horse and buggy CD changer.
Yeah.
Brian's
You're touching on your
nostalgia though
You like a little retro
So
That's right
You're going with that
Wait wait a thing
You like CDs
How about loose change
I like loose change
I said change
I think that's good
We all could use a little change
Yeah
And we could
I use a little change
All right
Is that what you're going with
Money
Show me
Show me your money for nothing
Oh
That's exactly what you got to that one.
Surprisingly, no money.
I mean, I've changed in my center console in a little thing,
but surprisingly, nobody said money or change or anything.
It's too hard to reach in the glove box, really.
It is, yeah.
All right, Scott, two answers left on the board.
You can basically, September's one, right?
Because if you get, you need both of them to win.
Yeah.
And then that wins either way.
That gives September the winning the way.
Yeah, give us something stupid.
All right.
Let's see.
Oh my gosh, dude.
This is hard.
We've done everything.
Okay.
How about a...
We have a done gun.
You know it's on there.
Like, I could say just straight up weapon,
and I would hope it would include like stun gun or,
I don't know.
Oh, there you go.
Chicken it out.
I got you.
You know what?
I'm going to say pepper spray.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Pepper spray.
Let's do it.
Very good.
Okay.
Show me pepper spray.
Nope.
That's an interesting one.
Did anyone say pepper spray?
Maybe it's not common at all.
I don't know.
Yeah, let's see.
Keep that in a key chain, right?
Nope.
No pepper spray.
Let's see what, but congratulations.
First of all, September, you won.
You get the prizes.
Yeah, congratulations.
Well, good.
Just in time to help you recuperate, put those on your laptop.
And as you recline and recover, you can play a little escape room for whatever, beer.
Let's see what number eight is.
Show me eight.
Tissues.
So, you know, sometimes you do something a little softer than a napkin to blow your nose.
Just a little pack of tissues in there.
I was thinking you guys were going to say this one when you started going on the weapon route.
But number nine, knife or leatherman.
Leatherman is a good thing
To keep in there
It is
And I have that in there too
I absolutely have one of my glove box
And my pretty thing about it
Continuing on number 12 gun
So
Six people in the tadpool
Either watch a lot of TV
Or they keep a gun in their glove compartment
Straws
I think you guys have talked about stras
When you were talking about cutlery
Or plastic cutlery
USB cord
CDs number 16
Yeah there's still people
With the CDs
in there. COVID mask,
map. Oh, no.
Map. Wait a minute. Who has a map
in the glove box? I don't. So you can't
call me old anymore. I don't have a map.
Maybe you're in a place that doesn't have a signal.
I don't know. Aftershave
or ax, aspirin,
ice scraper. Somebody did say receipts. You guys talked yourself
about that, but I'm glad you did. Yeah, number
24 low on the list. Condiments. People are
keeping those little extra ketchup packets
and hot sauce from Taco Bell.
Bad idea. Go ahead.
hand sanitizer, a little bottle of the gel stuff, a notepad, a barf bag, tampons, umbrella,
one of those little portable USB anchored batteries, which you need.
Those make sense.
Binoculars, Bluetooth speaker, checkbook.
Who has binoculars?
I want to know this purper who's sitting in the car with the binoculars.
You're a little steak out on the ex-girlfriend there.
Dog nail trimmers, okay.
extra headlight bulbs flossers or you know
dental flosser granola bars so not the
not the clothing I got you
yes
uh hat hearing aid batteries
how big is your glove box
keys it's like a bag of holding in there man
let's see lug nut key like if you've got those
special tires that need a specific
yeah you'll lose it
take them off yeah they totally true
Narcan. Only one person said nothing. Don't own a car.
Surprise it to get more of those.
Parking pass, one person did say that. See, what about that?
Seatbelt cutter. If you don't have a leatherman, that'll come in handy.
Aren't supposed to keep those like, don't they like clip onto the seatbelt or something like that?
Or are you supposed to keep them the side pocket?
Yeah, in case, yeah, in case he gets stuck.
If you live near the ocean, maybe you probably keep it somewhere more handy.
Sunflower seeds, tape measure, toilet paper.
paper and vaseline.
Those are your other answers that...
I like toilet paper. It takes care of the napkins and the tissues.
It kind of does, right? Yeah.
We do that for the Vegas road trips.
We take a roll of toilet paper, not for the obvious use case for toilet paper,
but because it's kind of an all-around...
It's like having a mini, mini version of like full-on paper towel, right?
So you just...
Oh, we have a little mini spill. We can use this thing and just pull off a couple squares and you're good.
So do you think that's actually probably better than a towel, like you would see, like in Hitchhiker's Guide?
No, I think you need to have a towel as well.
That's always in the glove thing.
But is it bigger than a glove box?
I'm kind of surprised nobody said actually like cloth little terry towels.
We have, I keep one in my car in case like I go through the car wash and there's still parts of my car that are wet.
I can just really quickly clean off really clean.
That's so weird.
That's the sound.
That is the sound.
That sounds right to me.
Well, good job.
You know what this means?
You get to hear a little Fletcher clip.
Congratulations.
You're a winner.
Except for me.
But that's fine.
I don't mind.
I don't mind.
I get another chance next Monday.
It'll all be fine.
I can eventually get my revenge.
But in the meantime, you're going to get these two awesome games.
Brian has probably already sent those to you via Discord.
I have not, but I'm doing it right this second.
Congratulations.
I hope you continue to convales quickly from your surgery.
And thanks for being awesome.
Yeah, you're the best.
And quick, before you hang up, I do want to give a shout out to everyone in the tadpool
who has been amazing with, like, supportive messages for me, but also, like, asking for Rob's resume
and giving him recommendations and trying to help us out with that situation.
I feel in all the love.
It's very, very nice.
And also, I still think of you, as I did in Vegas, as a mystical woman with powers.
and things like that.
There's something about some...
Weird rant about my hair I'm still trying to figure out.
No, you have hair that people kill each other for.
Like, I don't know how you do it or how long you've had it,
but you have hair that people die for.
A country start wars over hair like yours.
It's crazy.
Wow. Anyway, have fun.
All right.
Brian, look, this Friday, you and I are going to sit down
and do a little bit of the old play retro.
Yeah, I'm excited about my biking.
Excite bike.
We're doing exciting.
bike everybody if you don't remember this classic n-ES title and play 10 arcade title then you are
missing out because it's a big deal and we're going to talk about it we're also going to talk about
the n64 version remember the n64 version yeah and you remember when they tried to do a truck
version for the we that was weird i do i was not excited about that at all no there was no
excited for that excited bike yeah that bike was not excited let's put it that way no it was okay
as a racing game but i don't know why they tried to wedge it in there but we'll talk about all that
and more on Friday.
Brian Dunaway, Kiss our Buts.
All right.
That was great.
Good job, September.
Always happy to have her win.
For sure.
Brian, we're going to take a quick break, play a song,
and come back with Tom Merritt and Recommendals.
Let's do that song first.
What do you got?
Sure.
I've got a band from New Munster, Wisconsin,
a hard rock band called the Almas, A-L-M-A-S.
They've got a brand-new single called Lifeline,
thanks to Wake Up Music Rocks label.
This is a band that's fronted by,
Cleodell, who lends his expertise as producer, mixer, and mastering engineer.
This is a really cool, heavier song for those of you who want that sort of thing, and I do, and I am.
So here is the song is Lifeline.
The band is The Almaz.
Excellent.
We'll be back with Tom Merritt and a sec.
You know him, you love him.
So stay tuned.
We'll be right back.
A storm is brewing battle raging no one else can see
I'm picking up the pieces of my shattered sanity
I should go wake up from this nightmare taking over me
And do I die do I try my own mortality
I'm reaching out, but no one is made.
Screaming for a life line.
I feel it in my bones.
There's no place left to hide
From the darkness in my mind.
I'm hanging by a dead off-way down.
Don't be alone with the war inside my head.
Hey
I need a lifeline
Line line line
I need a life
line line line
line line
I feel in the world
I feel it in the world
I hate the feeling that I wish the world wouldn't today
I'm stressed so thin I'm giving
to all my misery
I can't escape it must embrace this month I'm living in
If do or die, do I try when all I want's the end
I'm reaching out but no one is made
Screaming for a live lie
I feel it in my bow, there's no place left to hide
From the darkness in my mind
Hanging by a third half-way dead
Don't be alone with the war inside my head
A little lifeline
I give what I got
But it's never enough
Now I've almost facing my objects for disgrace
I can't hold
Hold on
I feel it in my bones there's no place left to hide
I'll keep screaming for alive
I feel it in my bones there's no place left to hide
I'm from the darkness in my mind
Hanging by your bed off-wainting down
Don't been along with the war inside my head
I need a lifeline, line, line, line
I need a life, line, line, line, line
I need a life line, line, line, line,
I need a life, line, line, line, line.

You saw your uncle's nipples.
Tell me again that song and who did it.
Sure.
From Wisconsin, it's a band called The Almas and a brand new single from them called Lifeline.
Nice.
Are they brothers?
They'd be the Alma Brothers.
Alma Brothers?
That's pretty good.
I was speaking Edward James Almaz.
Oh, Almaz.
Thanks to you.
I listened to a whole bunch of Billy Joel recently.
Did you listen to The Stranger?
Did you start with that one?
I did. That's really great. It's the best album. It's so good.
It is the best album. Yeah.
Great songs all up and down that thing.
You want to know why? I thought about this, and I'll tell you exactly why those early few albums of Billy Joel's are so much better than the later ones, because he's singing about characters.
He's singing about all the people he meets is when he's the piano man. He's singing about Brenda and Eddie, Brenda and Eddie, when the scenes from telling your restaurant, Captain Jack.
And then he starts singing about himself, teller about it. It's like, oh, no.
Yeah, no, he, when he's telling stories about people and places and things and times, he's at his best.
That's when he's best.
But the minute he wants to talk about his stupid uptown girl, f that.
Lame.
Let's get Tom's opinion on this.
Tom, how do you feel about uptown girl?
Well, a noun is a person place or thing.
So you're saying he does better with nouns?
I am saying that, I think.
I think that might be exactly what we're saying.
Although an uptown girl is a person.
It's still a noun.
So is Allentown.
Not a first person.
He's better in the third person.
Third person.
There you go.
That's what you're saying.
Yeah, I love Allen.
Allentown's amazing except for when he tries to do vocal versions of a train noise.
I hate that part.
But the rest of it, yeah, I hate that.
It's annoying.
Like the actual train sounds they have are fine, but him trying to do it totally annoys me.
But that song, something about it, man.
It's so good.
Just put you in this place.
Yeah, tell her about it.
No, don't.
wait is uptown girl on nylon curtain or is it on the next one it's on the next one so that's the that's the dividing line right there yeah that is it that is basically the shark right there and i think innocent man is a good song i really like the title track of that song or that album but the rest of it is a little rough there's another one on that album called big men on mulberry street that is fantastic yeah that's almost like a broadway song and down east or alexa on a later album stormfront that's a great song too but and again third
person.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know what?
We didn't start the fire.
No.
I'm moving out.
I'm moving out.
All other things than him.
Talk about Anthony working in the grocery store, saving his pennies for someday.
Way better.
That's a good story.
Yeah.
We want to hear that story.
Well, here's another story we want to hear.
We want to hear some tech stories.
Tom Merritt comes on here on Wednesday as we talk about tech as he preps for today's
daily tech news show.
Tom, with a week full of Google I.O.
and everything else in its dog, I'm sure there's something to talk about.
what's going on? Yeah, man. Open AI demonstrated a way to talk in real time to chat GPT and
announced that that's coming for free to anybody who wants to sign up. Now, you get more
capability, you know, more parameters and stuff if you pay, but they're trying to open
things up, opening up access to agents as well, so you don't have to pay to get access to
their little store. Yesterday, Google spent two hours showing
its real-time discussions
with its Gemini models.
They weren't doing it
on a live stream.
I mean, it was a live stream announcement,
but their demos were pre-recorded.
So some people are poking holes in that,
but it did look like it wasn't faked this time,
unlike last year.
There was one
Gemini answer
that was shown in a demo that was
technically like,
Nilai Patel had Verge is calling it inaccurate.
And I think that's probably accurate.
to call it that, but it's sort of incomplete, an incomplete answer. But again, you want to be
able to trust that you're getting a complete answer from these models. Other than that,
Google I.O. was all AI, and I'm not sure what the takeaway was, other than we've named everything
a variation of Gemini, and it's all getting better. The one thing that really did impress me
was the video interpretation. So now with Gemini on mobile and in other locations,
you can point your camera at something and ask Gemini a question about it.
This is the multimodal stuff they talk about.
So the demonstration they gave was, you know,
a turntable had the wading off.
And all of us who had no turntables, but I don't know if you saw it,
but I imagine you were like, well, I know what the problem is already.
But it had the wading off on the tone arm.
And she was like, I don't know what's going on.
And then asked Gemini and it said, well, the waiting is off on the tone arm.
This is the model of LP player.
This is how to adjust it.
and that was pretty impressive.
It was one where the camera,
the camera advanceer was stuck
that they demonstrated in a video
where it said just one solution,
they gave like eight different solutions,
many of which were correct,
but one solution they said was
open the back of the camera and take the film out,
which is, of course, a horrible idea
if you have, if the film isn't rewound
and you can't rewind it, because the,
anyway.
So, I don't know.
There was some really good stuff with the video,
but Google was muddled in its message, I guess.
Like, I'm still wondering what it is.
You can hear us talk about it immediately after on Daily Tech News show yesterday,
and I highly recommend checking out Android Faithful,
because all four of them were at I.O.,
and they interviewed some folks from Google about it,
so you're going to get really good coverage from them as well.
And then Apple this morning, because it's Global Accessibility Day tomorrow,
did their annual accessibility feature announcements.
These are all coming to iPad OS and iOS later this year.
But the big headline one is eye tracking without additional hardware.
iOS already supported eye tracking, but you had to have an accessory to do it.
It can now use machine learning all on device.
So you train it.
Your data stays there.
It doesn't go anywhere else.
And it can follow your gaze.
And when you linger on an element that can
register as a tap so people who have physical disabilities will be able to use eye tracking on anything
with an A12 processor or newer without having to buy anything extra. So that's that's a big one. And
there's a bunch of other accessibility announcements as well. That's actually a pretty good range because
the A12s are, that's a few devices back now. Several years old. Yeah. Yeah, that's good, I guess.
So I have a question about the feeling that I have that Google's
playing catch-up with Open AI.
Is that generally considered the case?
Like, it's not just a perception.
Like, it feels like they're kind of in a weird, not a race.
Like, there's always this race with technology, but it feels weird.
Like, Open AI's got a, just got a leg up, and everyone else is kind of floundering around,
with the exception of Microsoft, who's just using Open AI or heavily investing in it and using
it as kind of their backbone.
But every time I watch a Google thing, I'm like, oh, you guys, it's okay.
Hey, you can do your own thing here.
You don't have to freak out.
You know what I mean?
I don't know.
You're going to say, just rest.
Yeah, just rest.
You're done.
Have a seat.
That'll do Microsoft.
That'll do.
Yeah.
So what is it with Google in their whole thing?
I think there's a little shouting for it because there's a lot of anti-Google sentiment out there.
I think Open AI also benefits from being the shiny new thing for a lot of folks.
I don't disagree that Open AI is ahead.
They absolutely are.
I think sometimes it feels like they're farther ahead than they are. Google's been doing this for a long time. Don't forget, they've owned DeepMind for a long time. There's been some fantastic folks and still are fantastic folks working there. They had Google Brain, which they've now merged with DeepMind. Open AI has absolutely focused their attention. They are playing catch up in features. They are playing catch up in Mineshare. What they have as an advantage, technically, and this is the one thing they touted, was
Gemini can do 1 million tokens and we'll do 2 million soon.
And that is more tokens than any other model out there, including GPT40, which is the one that OpenAI announced on Monday.
Tokens aren't everything, but they give you a lot more capability in context.
And so Google was hammering, like, our models will know the context better because they can go farther back.
They can look at bigger things because they can handle all these tokens.
So they have one technical advantage there.
There's a lot of other technical advantages they don't have,
and so you didn't hear them talk about that.
And they have the advantage of being where you are.
So even if OpenAI is superior in most ways,
chat GPT isn't built into search.
It isn't built into Gmail.
It isn't built into Google Docs.
And Gemini is.
And that was the other thing Google pressed yesterday was,
hey, when you're using Gmail, which we know a bunch of you do,
look at the sidebar.
You'll be able to do this, you'll be able to do that.
And even if this and that is not things the GPT4 or Anthropic
or anybody else can't do, they're not built into Gmail.
And so there's a big advantage there that Google has.
So I think while they are technically behind,
they certainly have every opportunity to stay in the game
should they not screw it up.
Sutski were leaving Open AI is kind of a big deal today.
Sam Altman, of course, is the big name
you always think of,
but it feels like a little bit of a jobs
losing Wozniak moment.
And I know it's not,
it's, by all accounts,
it sounds like it's all very amicable
and he just wants to get out
and do something else.
But he's like your, you know,
he's the brain, man.
He's the dude.
Chief scientist guy, right?
I don't, I don't know how much of it is Sutskever.
He's been,
he's been doing a lot of responsibility stuff
at Open AI.
I think Mira Murati, the CTO, is also one of the brains, if not the brain of the company.
I'd be much more concerned if I saw that she was leaving.
I get the feeling that they're losing a cheerleader and certainly an important mind,
but I don't get the sense that this is, you know, the end for them.
And in fact, another person that's in that same kind of responsibility department is leaving along with him.
So to me, it feels like maybe they're just, you know, saying, we're going to focus our areas in other places.
And Schuetskevers, like, I've got a personal project. I want to go work on.
So, yeah, I don't think that is damaging to Open AI.
If Nira Murati left, that would be damaging.
If Altman left, again.
Yeah, and that's why it seems to me like kind of a Wozniak moment because it isn't damaging to the company,
but the meteoric explosive rise of this company, I would be, I feel like if I was one of the true nerds there,
I'd be like, okay, I've kind of, I don't, I kind of want to go just.
Don't forget, Sutskova was on the side of the board that ousted Altman.
Oh, I didn't know that.
He's been in a little bit of flux ever since.
He was the first one to flip back and go,
I've made a horrible mistake.
Altman should come back even before he was rehired.
So that's why I'm like,
it doesn't feel like the Wozniak situation to me.
Right.
That makes sense.
Well, if you want to hear more of this
and have a broader discussion happen about it,
well, you're going to get that on the Daily Tech News show today.
We're also going to talk about, Brian, you'll like this,
how AI is being used to design the future of casino stuff like the way slot machines work,
the way, the whole process of like drawing people through a casino, where people are wanted, how they win, if they win.
It feels like they're going to find better ways to make you not think about how they're taking your money.
Probably is the end result.
But we're going to dig into that and see what that's all about.
Yeah. And it's easy to think like, oh, they're going to use machine learning to keep you from winning. And it's like, no, no, no. The odds are very closely regulated and audited. It's all the other stuff. The colors, the flashing lights, the positioning, the interface, all of that stuff. If they take more your money, people are going to stop playing. If they make you not realize how much money they're taking, then they've been. Yeah, and they want to keep you there. They want you to be, like, blown away visually and tactically and all that. And I could see why this is actually kind of a big thing.
So anyway, we're going to talk about that today at length on the Daily Tech News Show.
Do tune in and check that out. Tom Merritt, anything else going on?
You'd like to mention?
Yeah, don't forget, I send you an email every morning Monday through Friday if you're a paid subscriber or every week for free on Thursday,
which just gives you my rundown of all my prep for Daily Tech News show and everything else that I'm doing.
So you get five to seven big stories, five things for context.
Those are the most valuable things in there, in my opinion, where it's like,
Oh, here's just a little tidbit that you should know.
I'll help you understand something in the future.
You're going to look real smart because you know this.
And then just some interesting reads, five of those every day.
So if you'd like that in your inbox, check it out at freetacknewsletter.com.
Fantastic. Tom Merritt, everybody.
You know him, you love him.
Follow him wherever he is.
Tom, we'll see you soon.
Bye now.
Bye now.
Okay, there he goes.
There we go.
Bye, Tom.
Wow, two things.
His video quality was amazing today.
We didn't have the weird sound thing at all.
He gave us video and audio and things worked just fine, so...
Something changed.
We're fixed.
We're fixed.
Sure.
Why not?
We can all rest easy.
No tech problems in the future.
Never again.
Never happened ever anymore.
Nope.
We're solid as a rock.
All right.
We're going to get Nicole in here.
Randy's got a meeting.
He will not be here.
But we still have things to recommend.
And if we don't do it, then who.
And if not us, who?
If not now, when.
All right.
Right.
So here's this.
Well, what do you recommend?
Ah, yes, the music that tells us it's time to recommend some stuff we've seen on streaming services.
And we have with us, as per usual, Nicole Spagnolo.
Hello.
Hey, do do, do, do, do do do do do.
What do you recommend?
I feel like it's like, I see Scott, I see Brian.
Looking into the magic mirror.
It's so inspirational, though.
Listen.
Oh, that just makes you want to get up in the morning and just take the day on, you know.
It just gets better and better, doesn't it?
That's right.
Well, it's good to have you here.
We're going to dive into some recommendations today.
And Brian, you know what?
I think we're going to get crazy and start with you.
What?
Oh, my gosh.
I wasn't ready.
Okay, I'm ready.
All right.
Cool.
All right.
Well, this is a series.
This is one that I've been wanting to recommend for a while.
And big thanks to Natalie, who emails us a lot with things for the show and recommendations and things like that, Natalie, Alan, and the Cats.
This was one of hers.
and thank goodness for her recommending this because this would be something I would not have seen otherwise and would have glossed over.
Tina and I are loving this.
We've watched the first two seasons and there are three more to watch.
And just a little reminder, you're going to hear a clip here.
You're not watching King of the Hill.
I'll just tell you right now.
This is not King of the Hill.
Oh, all right.
Here we go.
Can I help you?
I have nine o'clock with Dr. Babu, Sam Fox.
Okay.
Sam.
Fox?
Mm-hmm.
There you go.
Fill that out, sit down.
Okay, but I just wanted to check on the follow-up appointment
Dr. Babu wanted me to make.
It's on the 26th.
It's on the 29th. We moved it.
Oh.
Mm-hmm.
We tried to leave you several voicemails.
Your inbox was always full.
You need to clean that out.
Oh, no, you see, I can't.
Because I have all my daughter's voicemails saved from when there were babies.
I just can't delete them.
You understand.
understand, right?
Yeah.
If there's any way you could squeeze me in,
any time on the 26th, late, early.
Dr. Babu is very, very booked.
I'm just saying it's kind of on you guys
to try to accommodate me.
Okay, look, we can keep going around and round like this,
but the reality is
you're not going to get an appointment before the 29.
before the 29th.
You win.
I'll take the 29th.
And next time, get her 15 early so you can fill out your paperwork.
So we're not putting us behind.
Have a seat there.
We'll let you know when he's ready.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah, I heard you.
Bobby Hill, man.
This is an FX show.
Yes.
I started watching this because she was on Louis C.K.
Yes.
She was the girlfriend on Louis, and then she got her own show.
And I'm blanking on the name.
What's the name?
Her name is Pamela Adlon, and the show is called Better Things.
Better Things.
Better Things.
And it's actually co-written by Louis C.K.
He's involved, the executive producer for the first couple seasons and also helping with the writing.
But very little helping with the writing, because this is directed and based on Pamela Addon.
Adlon's life.
Like, she's got three daughters in the show.
She's got three daughters in real life.
She does voice work for things like King of the Hill and anime and all sorts of things
and little bit parts and movies.
She won Emmys for her Bobby Hill.
She was a big whoop on that show.
She did and well deserved.
She actually did get nominated for Primetime Emmy for this show back in 2017 and 2018.
She didn't win.
But she did get a Peabody Award in 2017 because this show is so, so,
accurate to the
the single motherhood
experience and it is
dating, oh, her
poor dating life. Oh my God, her dating life.
She's, as you would expect, she's got, you know,
horrible luck with men. Dejerk Bader
plays a friend of hers that
also has bad luck with men. He's gay.
I love him so much.
He's great.
You've got, what's his face?
Elliot,
Henry Thomas is one of her
one of her love interests for a little while.
Kevin Pollock is her brother.
Lucy Davis is one of the best friends.
She was the British office.
The equivalent to Pam, what was her name?
Dawn.
Dawn.
Dawn.
Yeah.
She was Don in the office.
She's great.
I love her.
She's great, too.
This is one of those things that we started watching and we both said,
how have we not been watching this since the beginning?
Now, there are five seasons.
They did do a, have a final season, and they got to end.
show the way they would shoot the way that she wanted to and um uh this show is so so good
pamela adeline is just i remember from um californication she was the the wife of uh du coveney's
best friend uh that that little shrimpy bald guy oh right uh can't remember but anyway she she so she
start out on that and it's it's her sarcasm i mean she is just dripping oozing with sarcasm
which I freaking love.
It's the same vibe as Jim Gaffekin's show
because Jim Gaffin did something similar
where he's like, this is my life,
but you're going to watch it in a little bit funnier format.
That reminds me a Tignitaro's One Mississippi.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love that show.
These, you know, more clever comedians
who get these shows like this
and take them in directions
that aren't just the, you know,
your typical three camera sitcom kind of thing.
this thing is so good and her daughters very very different you don't get the stereotype daughters
but you get you know her her youngest is not the always says just the most precocious things
kind of thing and um uh her middle middle child very you know strong willed very middle child
ask and uh it's so so good uh it's called better things it's on hulu um five seasons
52 episodes this is we use this kind of we tried to
to use it as pallet cleanser.
So like when we're watching something heavy,
we'll watch this before we go to bed
just to kind of lighten things up.
But we got so engrossed in it
that we just start watching this as everything,
not even using it as a pallet cleanser,
just watching it back to back to back episodes.
And it's so good.
Well, you had me at the lead.
I love her stuff.
So I'm all in.
She's great.
So give that first season.
You'll be hooked, I think,
in two or three episodes because she's great.
Awesome.
Give us one more shitadeleck.com name and all that.
It's called Better Things and it is on Hulu.
Excellent.
Nicole, let's fly over to you now and play your clip.
Tell us what we got here.
So piggybacking on my recommendal from last week,
I finished the Dead Boy Detectives.
And it is, it's one of my top five favorite shows.
Now, I loved it so much.
But you did ask me a question last week.
Is it appropriate for kids?
It is not.
And it really isn't.
So I have for you this week something that is along the same lines, but way more appropriate for kids.
In fact, Mateo and I just binged it.
So that is the setup of my clip.
All right.
Here you go.
Don't move.
Hands up.
You put his head to.
die. It was you. It was you in our house the other day who I stabbed, wasn't it? There's
nothing old about that war wound. There were where I can see you. I'm sure you and I can resolve
this between ourselves. You want your ring back. You thought you could wait till the sun comes up
and come and get it from our pockets in the red room.
Well, here we are.
It's the hallmark that's incriminating.
Something that specific.
I bet you really regret buying that for Annabelle now.
A lot of British folk doing British.
It is very British.
I know it's not Hiddleston, but man, there's a little Hittleston in his voice a little bit.
The boy who cried, whoops out.
Sounds very kid friendly.
Okay, let me clarify, kid.
Probably 10 and up.
Not talking small child.
Not a small child.
This is, my son's 12.
He absolutely loved it.
This is based off of the series of books,
which they have a couple of graphic novels, too.
This is Lockwood and Co.
It's on Netflix.
It is a world where the ghosts have become,
they call it the problem.
And the ghosts have just become part of the world.
And the young,
young kids can actually,
sense them. So you're dealing with these kids that have these abilities to see and to battle
the ghost because if a ghost touches you, you're dead. And so there's like a curfew that every
and the ghosts come out at night. So I mean, it's it's one of those kind of a kind of
safe scary for certain kids. So it's playing out this story.
of this seer, she can sense, she can feel,
she can talk to ghosts and her journey.
And in this world, this futuristic world,
how all these businesses of these children have been created.
And it's kind of, you get introduced to her
because her mom was like, earn your keep and sends her off
because she has this ability to see and talk to ghosts.
kind of get a feeling for them as they're trying to cleanse these areas.
And so she finds Lockwood and Coe, and there's like a bunch of mysteries and kind of
it's setting up the world.
I don't know if they, I have to imagine they're going to have a second season because
they set it up and Matea was very upset the way that they ended the season.
But I said, well, you're going to want to watch season two.
It worked very well.
Yeah. Is it so like news bumps level probably, right? Like is that a...
Yeah. Yeah, that's a fair. Like, Ava saw the ghost and she's like, I'm out.
Nope. Nope.
Yeah, you either like ghosts or you don't. I get that.
Yeah. Yeah. So, Mateo and I really enjoyed watching it together. In fact, he did not want to watch it without me. He's like, oh, this is our show. I was like, oh, buddy. That was so cool.
So I felt very comfortable watching this with him.
I would not watch the dead boys detectives.
Even though it's the same, you know, the dead boy detectives is in the, in the graphic novels,
their children, they kind of made them older for the show because it just, it just feels wrong.
What happens to the dead boy detectives.
Gosh, sure.
It's so they kind of age them up to make that feel a little better watching.
Kind of the same here.
You know, these are, these are.
teenagers. Um, but if you look at the books, they're kids. So, uh, good story. I love it.
Recommend it. It's, it's a, so I have to imagine they're going to have another season of this one as
well. Lockwood and co on Netflix. Yep. Sounds pretty great. Uh, all right then. Let me swing
over to here. And I got to tell you about the thing that is not currently streaming,
but I'm still going to tell you about it. And then I'm going to move on quickly to the thing I
am recommending. There is a movie that you have to rent to see, but let me just say this to
anyone out there who loves things like, no country for old men, or, oh, what's the one with
Chris Pine? And my brain just went dead on that, 2016.
Three-tended Yuma? No. No, I'm not more of a modern take. I can't think of it. Anyway,
what the heck is that back there? Do you hear that?
Oh, it's my mother-in-law.
Oh, I'll mute.
Wow, she's loud.
She is a loud mother-in-law.
Yeah.
That was the best response ever.
That was pretty great.
Hell or high water.
That's what I was trying to say.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anything like that.
If any of those aren't even remotely in your interest range, I saw this movie last night
called The Last Stop in Yuma County.
Oh.
That is a revelation for me.
I didn't know what existed.
I saw some brief mention of it.
something somewhere and I was like oh what is that it looks like it's kind of up my alley 100%
up my alley I loved everything about it including the fact that I mentioned no country for old
men you know the guy in the gas station in that amazing scene with yes with Anton Sugar I don't know
what you're saying you know that guy he's in this same actor and he plays this amazing weird
role this movie goes places I don't even know how to start so I'm not going to even try
I'm just going to say, pull six bucks out of your wallet, go to Apple or Prime or wherever, and rent this thing.
It'll probably stream soon enough, but it is so great.
I love this freaking movie.
The last stop in Yuma County, please, please, seek it out if you'd like those things I just mentioned.
All right, here's my actual recommendation.
I'll play a clip for it and then explain.
Oh, Jesus, that gig was brutal.
Yeah, it was going so well to, I really would have fancied your chances had she not.
interrupted.
Here's no the right thing to say, don't you?
All right.
That's a tiny clip from a heart of...
Very, very short.
It's a show that's hard.
Tiny reindeer?
Baby reindeer is the name.
Baby reindeer.
Yeah.
I like the Nicole.
It's like a game show to her.
It's like, I know this name.
I know it.
I know it.
I'm going to get it.
You got it.
Correctly done.
Why do they call it tiny reindeer?
It doesn't make any thing.
Well, they don't.
Well, they don't.
Well, they don't. They call it baby reindeer.
Oh, sorry. Baby reindeer.
The reason they call it baby reindeer is it's a nickname that one of the characters gives the other character,
and it will make perfect sense once you see it.
Now, let's talk about things that are not for children of any age, all right?
Yeah.
This is not for kids at all.
This is a Netflix sort of short-ish series.
I assume it's a one-off.
I don't know.
I don't know how you make a sequel to this because it is supposed to be roughly or maybe even more than roughly based on the life.
of Richard Gad, who is the creator, director, and the star of this thing. And this is all based
on an actual experience that he had. He is a Scottish-born comedian. From his perspective. Correct,
from his perspective. He's a Scottish-born comedian who plays the same in the show,
who goes by a different name in the show. But we know this dude as someone who has written a
bunch of stuff. Let's see. He's in a ton of movies and TV shows and stuff, but he's also, hold on one
second uh he wrote for he wrote an episode of sex education brian that show you like so much oh i love
that show yeah um the last leg a bunch of other stuff and then he also acts a bunch um this is his
little pet project and the woman in this who is sort of his big co-star uh is played by jessica
gunning and if that name is not familiar she's a british actress she plays the character martha scott
in this she is known for her role in um where is it
the one you recommended a while ago,
the outlaws,
the one with,
oh,
where they're picking up trash
with walking and,
oh,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
she's the kind of,
she's the sort of larger,
uh,
lady who,
who's like in charge of the,
yes,
job site and all that.
That's her.
Yes.
She is really something in this thing.
Um, she,
so basically she plays a stalker.
This is not a spoiler because it's immediate.
All right.
Oh yeah.
They,
they,
yeah,
it's the whole thing.
She calls him baby reindeer.
That's why she calls him that.
Yeah, sorry, go ahead.
Oh, I was going to say the real person that is based off of it.
She's making the rounds now.
Oh, is she?
Oh, really?
No.
So Pierce Morgan, Pierce Morgan apparently brought her on and she, I guess, gave her
250 pounds or something to come on it.
But he just exploited her.
And it's just, the whole thing is getting icky.
Very, very icky.
I imagine so.
So this thing just basically,
tells the very uncomfortable eight-episode story of a very intense form of stalking,
but also there's a bunch of other subtext that deals with some pretty rough subjects,
like rape and grooming and a bunch of other things.
But it's also somehow kind of a comedy at the same time.
And it does this pretty deftly.
It's reviewing really well for a reason.
It's very good at somehow traversing these very,
hard subjects and topics and very intense moments that go along with somebody who's really,
really stalking you and turning your life upside down and somehow injecting humor into it.
I'm not quite sure how they pull it off, but they do pull it off here and there.
I am going to say that I do not think this is a, this is not a thing for everyone.
There are going to be plenty of people who are like, Scott, this thing is freaking.
Probably trigger warnings for some people.
Sort of up and down the line.
There's lots of trigger warnings.
but it's also a really interesting study of the psychology around this sort of thing and one's
own problems that make them maybe susceptible to having this stuff run their life and they kind
of they kind of treat the whole thing with I think pretty good sensibilities but it's also
it's pretty raw it's real raw it's the best way I can put it seems like it seems like it was
therapy for them oh yeah I'm sure this was must be especially if this is anywhere close to the
truth like I can't I don't know how you even live through this like it's insane to me what he
went through but there are times where you feel some sympathy for her and you're angry at him
there are times like it's a complicated thing like life is it's not simple it's never that simple
it's black and white it's gray I think that's why I think that's why this show works is because
it is honest and legitimate about that there's a there's a really wonderful trans woman in this named
Neva Mao. I've never heard of her before. She played the character called Terry. She's really
great in this, like, amazing performance. And my guess is this kicks off a whole career for her.
There was somebody else who really blew my mind. Who was it? Can't find it. But anyway,
the real stars here, obviously are Richard Gaddon, Jessica Gunning. And Jessica Gunning is just
like freaky good at this role. And she deserves it. She deserves all the credit she's getting for this.
but I am just warning everybody if you if you don't want to get like in the middle of one of the most messy television relationships I've ever seen maybe avoid this but it is a full-throated recommendation for anyone who wants to see the side of humanity studied a little bit understand it a little bit and you know I think it's really well made so it is it is a it is a it's a recommendation from me all right thought about it were in a while yeah it's been a bit
Very cool. Baby reindeer.
On Netflix, currently available in its full eight-episode run.
And, again, I don't think it's the kind of show that's even looking for a sequel.
It feels like a one-off.
No, yeah.
It's also very artie-farty in a way that Netflix feels like they've pulled away from recently.
Like, they've done less of these experimentally kind of thing.
So it was good to see them dabbling again.
It just feels like the kind of thing that you just never see on any other kind of channels
other than maybe Prime or this or Hooler or whatever.
but it's very interesting
so check it out
that'll all be up on quicktms.l i all three of these movies
and do not sleep on the last stop in yuma county
don't do it there's no movies we no one recommended a movie
that's true yeah we all did all did shows
well it's got recommended a movie though yeah this last stop
in yuma county is definitely a movie and it is worth
every freaking penny in second you spend in there
and all i'm saying is if you like any like tarantino
adjacent stuff if you like things that are
vaguely set in the 70s
little crime stuff where you don't know
where stuff's happening. Hey, if you like the
dude that played the weird serial killer in
Barbarian in the middle part of that movie,
the 80s flashback part,
that guy's something, dude.
Holy shit. Do you think Tarantino's
going to release any more movies? Yeah, he's got one more.
He's doing his 10th. His 10th. He says he's done
after that. Really? That's what he says.
I loved. I loved
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Yeah. I like
a lot of his movies. I mean, as far as I'm
concerned. I could just sit down right now and watch hateful eight right now. I love that movie.
But anyway, yeah, don't wait on it. I know it's not streaming yet for free or pseudo for free, but it's worth the seven bucks.
We're all cheap skates, man. Come on. We're not spending money. And you know, the day I spend the money to rent this, the next day it'll be on streaming on one of the services I'm already paying.
I was really hoping it was. I looked everywhere. I couldn't find anything. But man, it goes places. You just,
I'm telling you, if you're, if you think you've got all stories in Hollywood movies figured out and you know exactly where they're headed, I got great news for you.
Because this thing will go places you're like, what?
No.
Really?
Oh my gosh.
They went there?
Like, it's so good.
It's so good.
699, uh, Rendon HD on, uh, like you said, on Amazon Prime.
I'm putting a link to it.
I'm adding it to our recommendals.
Uh, so you'll find a link to that as well.
It's very good.
All right.
That's it.
Nicole, thanks for hanging with us.
You got anything you want to promote, mention, talk about, grandma?
Mark just made me a plant stand.
What?
Yeah.
Well, it's actually made for him.
I don't care about plants.
So he made himself a plant stand, is what you're saying.
He made himself a plan stand, and he made a video about it.
And we have a guilt course.
So if you actually want to make your own plant stand, he shows you how.
Nice.
Nice.
That's what's going on here.
My wife has got plants that need stands.
I bet she'll look this up.
My plants can't fall in over because they can't stand.
Right.
Maybe, you know, ask Mark to make you a plant stand.
All right.
Hey, Mark.
Make us a plant stand.
And say hi to your mother-in-law.
We'll see you next time.
I'm sure she'll say hi very loud back to us.
I'm sure.
Hello.
What are you doing?
You're streaming?
She's very loud.
She's very, very loud.
We're done with the show.
But before we leave, a quick thing about Bucky's, we've been talking a lot about Buckees.
Buckees, beaver nuggets and all that.
Yeah, yeah.
Got this from...
I ate my beaver nuggets with chopsticks.
I put a little bit into a little bowl.
100% the way you should do this.
And then I eat them with chopsticks.
No, that's the only way to do it.
Only way to do it.
Otherwise, it gets sick.
They're terrible.
Don't do it in the other way.
Brian's correct about this one.
This is from Bob Decker,
aka Scooby Dad in the chat.
He says, regarding Buckees, I went there once in Florida slash Georgia line.
I walked in and after about 35 people screamed welcome to Buckees every time the door opened, I left.
It was too loud to even think.
So that must be a thing.
They all yell, welcome to Buccas.
No, they don't do it at the one in Denver.
Like basically there's a guy at the counter, you know, the checkout counter as you walk in.
I think he said it to us, welcome to Buckees and that's all we got.
So I didn't hear more than that.
So crazy.
Yeah, it's going to, it's apparently a thing.
But I'm glad to hear, if they keep moving west, you don't need to be yelling.
don't have to yell welcome to Buckees here either.
No.
I'll understand.
Oh, and I just saw it yesterday, Brian, a come and go we used to have down the road.
Yeah.
Is it a maverick?
It's a maverick now.
It signs up.
Wow.
Yeah.
It's come and gone.
It's come and gone.
Hopefully it cleaned up after it's soft.
Yeah.
You always just come and go.
All right.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Let's get to this.
Words is the subject line.
This is from a non-named person.
It says the word gymnasium.
and gymnastics both comes from the Greek word gymnasium which refers to a place to train or exercise naked while competing naked became a Greek tradition Scott here it is this is why the word gymnasian doesn't sit well with you
Monty oh it is we do have a name Monty the mailman very appreciative of the show though so I've talked about this for years I hate the word gymnasium it's a horrible name yeah Jim is fine Jim is a fine abbreviation of the word gymnasium yep but knowing that it means you're naked
working out now i get it yeah yeah because i don't want that speaking wipe down that machine when you're
done with it sweaty guy also can someone explain to me why orange theory one of the workout places
why that place is 250 dollars a month can someone explain that can somebody explain why it's called
orange theory that too i don't get it like there's tons of gyms you can go to golds or whatever
20 bucks a month you're in this place wants 250 and it's not personal trainers and stuff as far as i know
It's just, what's the deal?
What's the deal with orange theory?
Why do they have the weird tinted windows and the...
Yeah, I don't know.
And what's the deal with the orange and the name?
Exactly.
What's the theory?
I want to go to a place that's been proven.
Not a theory.
You know what?
I cannot bring myself to watch that new Seinfeld movie.
I can't do it.
I don't know why.
Oh, really?
I'm looking forward to seeing it just so I can see all the people, the cameos of the folks in there.
I think it'll probably be a...
So silly, you know?
Like, so silly.
It'll be a wake up at 5 o'clock in the morning, can't get back to sleep.
I'll start watching Unfrosted and then it'll be good.
That happened this morning, but I had to watch the X-Men finale, X-Men 97 finale.
I trust your opinion, so when you see Unfrosted...
I will, yeah, I'll give you my unfiltered opinion of Unfrosted.
Tonight I think I'm going to lie in my bed, headphones on,
and watch the first two Planet of the Apes movies in my goal to finish.
There you go.
Wow, good luck with that.
I want to get the first two done, then the next one, and then I want to go see that new one.
Yeah.
And I don't know why I'm trying to cram all this in before Furiosa, but I'm trying really hard.
Furiously, you might say.
Yeah.
Boy, you cried wolf says, watching TV at 5 a.m. sounds like hell.
Yeah, not being able to fall back asleep at 5 a.m. as hell.
Watching TV helps you get through it.
I think, yeah, that's a hell that's a hell that's, you're being helped by watching a thing.
Exactly, yeah.
Sounds like help.
Watching TV.
Schmiddy says, when I coached Ironman athletes,
250 to 350 a month was fairly standard.
Yeah, but this is without that at Orange Theory.
Yeah.
I guess.
Maybe you can only at Orange Theory.
Maybe you can only get a personal trainer.
Maybe I, I don't know.
I've got to learn more about this.
I'm annoyed, but.
Okay, that's it for the show.
We're done today.
Farogpants.com.
TMS is our website.
We'll be back tomorrow, though,
with a Thursday edition of things.
And I got so much going on.
this week of this wedding family in town it's too much oh yeah oh yeah is the big family
meeting that's this weekend isn't it yes brian i'm so uh i don't want to do it i don't blame you
i'd rather go walk the dog and look for butt plugs you know it's a new kind of geocashing
oh man that's a terrible kind of geocashing don't hide it that's for sure um well anyway
uh so but we'll be here don't worry lots of content coming your way brian let's get out of here
the song though do you got anything cool yeah about a month and a half ago a month ago a listener came
to denver guy named jean brought a friend of his along we met at the new terrain brewing company
i talked about this the other day when we were talking about cores and how much closer to me than
cores is a place that makes better beer and guess what i'll pay for it it's totally fine um we uh we met
we had a great time talking to him he told us all about how we meet he met marianne from brooklyn from the
Howard Stern Show, if we want.
He probably could get her to record a,
this is Mary Ann from Brooklyn, and you're listening to the morning stream, if we want her to.
Sure.
But anyway, regardless, he got into the dating circuit a little bit ago and did some speed dating
and got to the last table and met a lovely woman who seemed very familiar to him.
And they talked, and she talked about what she does now.
And he says, oh, really?
Because you look really familiar.
She says, oh, well, I also used to sing.
or I sing on the side.
And he says, I think that's where I know you.
You perform with Postmodern Jukebox.
And she says, yes, I do.
And her name is Robin Adele Anderson.
And she's one of my favorite performers with Postmodern Jukebox.
They're still going out, still hanging out.
And so he made a request.
He says, this song is to the cover master himself.
Brian, thanks for introducing me to Postmodern Jukebox.
You are the best wingman.
I don't need to say anymore.
Play this anytime your heart desire as well.
Gene, my heart desires to play it right now.
A little warning, well, I'm giving Scott the choice.
I gave him two versions of the song,
one where I bleeped out an F-bomb near the three-and-a-half minute mark,
and one where I didn't.
Ooh, let's go, let's put the heat on, man.
Let's get the full F-bomb treatment.
Yeah, good, good, because I think that, you know,
playing the F-bomb in reverse is distracting,
and this is a far better way to do it.
She released her own album.
She's released several, actually.
In 2019, she released Volume 3, full of cover.
covers, covers of stuff like guerrillas and foo fighters and Lincoln Park and stuff like that.
How about this one from Eminem?
It's a cover of Luz Yourself.
Here's Robin Adele Anderson.
His palms are sweaty, new, sweet, arms are heavy,
this vomit on his sweat already.
He's nervous, but on the surface, he goes calm and ready.
to drop on, but he keeps on,
beginning what he wrote down the whole crowd
goes so loud.
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out.
He's choking now, everybody's joking now.
The clock's run out.
Time's up, over blouse.
Now, back to reality, oh, the goal's gravity,
oh, the ghost gravity choke.
He's so mad, but he won't give up that is he no.
He won't have it, he knows his old backs that he's broke,
but don't matter.
He's stooped, he knows that, but he's broke his old stack
that he knows when he goes back to his mobile home.
That's when it's back to his home.
the lavigan yo this whole rhapsody go catcher this moment and hope but don't pass and lose
yourself in the music the moment you own then you better never let it go you only got one shot
do not miss your chance to blow there's opportunity for once in a lifetime you better lose yourself
in the music the moment you're only better never let it go you only got one shot do not miss
your chance to blow this opportunity come blows in a lifetime you better
The soul's escaping through this hole that is gaping.
This world is mine through the taking and make me king.
As we moved on a new world order,
I know my life is for him, but super statum is close to post-mortem.
It only grows hotter, only grows hotter.
He blows us all over.
His hose is all on him, close to coast shows he's known as a globe trotter.
Lonely roads, God only knows he's grown farther from home.
It's no faller.
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter.
Hold your nose cause it goes cold water
It's holes don't want it, I'm always cold brought it
And then moved on to the next mo, who flows the nose dough and so not a
So the soap, so proper, it's holding on foes, I suppose it's all pointed
But the beat goes on and done to numb
You better lose yourself in the music the moment you own it
You better never let it go
You only got one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better lose yourself in the music the moment you own
No, you better never let it go
You only got one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
There's opportunity to come once in a lifetime
You better
No more games, I'm gonna change what you call rage
It's a motherbug and roof off like two dogs' cage
I was playing in the beginning the mood all changed
But I've been chewed up and spit out of Rudolph State
But I kept rhyming and stepped right in the next cypher
Best believe somebody's pain the pipe-piper
Piper all this pain inside
Amplified by the fact that
I can't get by with my
9 to 5 and I can provide the right
type of life in my family
because man these goddamn food stamps don't buy
divers and it's an old movie
there's an old micawire but this is my
life and these times are so hard
and they're getting even harder trying to feed
in one of my seat the suit the son I cut
up between being a father and a
Pramadonna baby mama's mom I'm screaming
on too much for me to want to stay
in one spot another
The other day or not has gotten me to the point
I'm like a snail I've got to formulate a plot
for I end up in jail a shot
Success is my only motherfucking action failure's not
Whoa mom I love you but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salam's lot so here I go
This is my shot free to fill me not
This may be the only opportunity that I got
You better lose yourself in the music the moment you own
You better never let it go
You only got one shot do not lose your chance to blow
There's opportunity to hold in a lifetime
You better lose yourself in the music from all in your own
You better never let it go
You only got one shot do not miss your chips to blow
This opportunity comes in a lifetime you better
