Raw meat. Do you like raw meat? Hello everybody and welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Tuesday, August 6th, for 24. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian David. Hello, Scott.

Hi. Hi, Brian. Sorry, I was swallowing some coffee there. Sometimes that happens. A swallow? A swallow is better than spitting coffee, I hear. No, I agree. They're not so fine to me of Panera when I spit the coffee back at them. No. You still got that deal where you can go there. You can go there any day, right? Any time?

Any day. Any day. And then they give me a free pastry for my birthday. So it's like I'm taking their money. I'm taking their money. I still haven't been to a Panera. I got to fix that. Just so I can say I went. I mean, it's not even that's that big a deal. I just need to go. It's not really that big a deal. And you won't be, it's not like you're going to say, where has this been all my life? You'll say, well, that is an adequate sandwich.

Or actually, get a, you know, their salads are really good. They're, um, their soups. They have a really good, uh, I don't know. How are you about it like a butternut squash? I like that. Um, fall soup, summer and fall soup. All right. I love, especially fall soup.

I'm big fan of those. Kim makes them every year. Uh, if I go to a place that has a good one, I'm in. so yeah it's the only place I actually like a squash I hate squash on its own yeah same here no I'm so with you no give me a butternut squash soup and I'm a biscuit I'm great my mom was pushing those on us as kids like it was crack she was like oh no you need to eat your squash like mom it's a good way to do it yeah it's a good garbage garbage food though it's not good it came out of the ground and it tastes like ass I don't want this it's funny Dr. Calhoun says Panera a place for Cairns you know you're not wrong like that is the place it's is that true this panera this panera is adjacent to a senior living center which is in the in the middle of a senior living neighborhood right so so it is it's like the nucleus of um i'm just going to show up with all my friends and we're going to hog a

table for the for the whole morning and talk about how bad the country is and what is going to hell in a handbasket great that sounds like fun to be around let me have another piece of facacia yeah i don't know about that i wouldn't want to i wouldn't want to be that location sounds like it might suck i don't want to be there it's actually it's not bad at all and i think it probably keeps them on their toes i go in there when i go in there to get my coffee like they are bacon bread first thing every morning and it just smells so freaking good and it's everything i can do to not not get an asiago cheese bagel or a um a cinnamon roll or a bear claw or any of those let me ask you this question what was the

worst thing is speaking of smells what's the worst thing you smelled today just today so far today what's the worst thing i've smelled today yeah and maybe all you smell was nice things so what is the least or what is the most offensive have you been the nice things you smell today well i went to the doctor's office today and the um i did note that the i used their hand sanitizer i blew my nose and then i used their hand sanitizer and their hand sanitizer did not smell very good it was it was like like straight up straight up alcohol with no you know i mean i guess that's good you want it to be um you want it to be effective right you don't want it to be fragrances opi cut out we miss that awesome part of your conversation oh really only only a bit

there we're cut out issues if it's not one thing it's another yeah i'll i'll shut off there's nothing going right now i don't think it's internet it's something else it's something something something between us something something something between us stuff gets to you that's right I don't know what's going on there. But we'll figure it out. Hey, so here's the thing, though. Okay, so to that point, I also don't like the industrial grade version of that stuff. It's gross.

Yeah, yeah. Smells bad. Doesn't, it's, I need some perfume in my freaking hand sanitizer. Here's the worst smell I smelled today. Okay. Go in the kitchen. Kim says, we give the dogs their joint medicine? And I said, oh, I didn't know they had that.

They're joint medicine? Yeah, not really medicine, but like their joint. do they smoke it or do they is an edible it's for their uh it's for their for their joints obviously but they use it's a it's an edible it's a food thing yeah i know i'm kidding yeah and uh she's got it in this tall container and i said okay hand that to me i'll take care of it no problem i opened this thing up and the smell of 5,000 dead fish hits me right in the face so basically it's like an omega-3 style dog tree. Yeah, so that's exactly what it is.

It's all omega-3. Yeah, but in a human omega-3s, they're not so bad, right? They're fishy, but they're not like, you know, they're not to knock you on your ass fishy. This was so bad, dude, that I almost, I felt like I was going to puke.

And that's not a way I want to break my streak in the kitchen there. No, no, for sure. It's not over some damn dark medicine. No, it was gross. So, anyway, that just reminded me of that. The grossest thing I've smelled in probably months was these little fish things. And I don't blame, I gave one of the dogs,

boomer. I gave her one. She greedily ate it because they love the, you know, they like fish. Sure. I like fish, she says. Right, right. There's not a fish you'd want to eat. We asked for more fish. That's right. So I gave her a little fish thing. It's about the size of a rollo. You know, the rollo's. Yeah. Yeah. So I give her that. And she chews it up real fast and then kind of

stares at me. And then just kind of nonchalantly, very quietly turns over to her water bowl and starts drinking water because she's like, yeah, this isn't, this isn't very good. This is very good. Why did you give me this? Let me get this. Let me wash the taste out of my mouth. Yeah.

And by the way, I lick my own butt and this thing you gave me doesn't taste very good. Yeah. She looks her own ass constantly. And it's better than what I gave her. It's exact. Oh, there he goes again. Dang it. This thing is weird.

Yeah. No, I was watching my rings that time. And it was nothing. I'm still shooting green. I'm shooting green. You got green through that whole thing. Weird. You know what?

I do hear a thing right before it's like a. it's a what do you call it premonition sound i hear i hear a little before it happens uh-huh and then you and then about a second later you go blank for bit and then you come back but there's always a little bit before weird weird i don't think it yet i don't think it's anything here i don't think it's uh no idea because i'm because discord discord is reporting that i'm sending audio like the green the rings of of speakage are fully lit so something between us i don't know something between us yeah stupid internet why can't you why can't you be normal all the time internet why can't you certainly

not possible that something on your machine scott it's impossible to even have them well i don't know what well no it might be i mean i'm not saying you're wrong but what what would do that i have no idea i don't know what would cause that but uh i have i have no idea they worked last night and this morning so i have no idea sure sure sure but anyway uh so there's that let's get some let me get something out of the way i want to yeah i want to commiserate further with the women in my life. I saw this yesterday during the Monday show, Scott.

I think we should stop expecting as a society, all right? I already don't as a person. But as a society, we need to stop expecting women to have to do makeup all the time. And here's why. You can do what you want. If you like doing makeup, do it.

I don't care. But if you don't like doing it and you feel forced to do it, we've got to change that because my eyes still hurt and burn from putting eye makeup on yesterday or from Carter doing it to me. she did all my makeup eye stuff all this stuff for the monday show yesterday and it was just a

dare and it was fun and we had a good time with it but all night my eyes burned this morning they burned somebody suggested maybe scott you have an uh an allergy or something to eye makeup i don't know but it doesn't matter how many drops i put in my eyes f that noise i'll never i'll never do it i'll never do it again i'm done i'm done doing makeup that's it that's it for scott and makeup no more no more makeup Yeah, and I don't care what happens. If you want me to play in your freaking Kiss cover band, I'm not doing it. Unless I can go makeup free.

It's the lick it up tour is what we're doing. That's the only version of Kiss you're going to be a part of. Yeah. No, keep in mind, I mean, a lot of women don't wear makeup for others. They wear it for themselves, for their own. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They can keep doing that. Confidence and going out and exactly.

But anyone who feels like they are, they feel pressure to and they would rather not, we all need to give them as much birth as they want. Don't wear it. No, I would never want someone to wear makeup for me. Like if Tina wears makeup, she wears it for herself. She wears it, you know, for work, whatever. But I've seen her without makeup. She's absolutely lovely.

And she doesn't wear it for me. Yeah. So don't, I'm just saying, if it hurt your eyes, you'll get no pressure from me. All right. Because it sucks. Right now they burn. My eyes burn now. And I have washed it.

I washed it entirely yesterday multiple times. and a shower this morning, it doesn't matter, it's still burning. So, freaking, yeah, was Carter going for like a little clockwork orange meets David Bowie kind of thing with your eye makeup yesterday? Or what was, uh, there's a little bit of cabaret with Alan Cumming kind of vibe going on there. Gotcha. Uh-huh.

Yeah. I don't know if she was aiming for that, but that's what we kind of ended up with. That's really what was going. Yeah, what was happening there. Yeah. She struggled at first because she was like, I don't know what I want to do here. And we made a video of this part. and it'll go up soon, but basically she just kind of made it up as we went.

She thought I had certain color advantages, but they didn't really work out. So like this orange thing she had going on here didn't really work. And I'm kind of too pale for this. Are you a summer? Scott, did she determine that if you're a summer? I don't even know if I know what that is. I don't know what that is here. I've heard people say it, but I don't know.

I just know that it's not fun. I don't know. I mean, I know this is fun for someone. They have a whole YouTube channels dedicated to. Let's get ready. everybody ready. Okay, we're trying this stuff from Korea. It's amazing stuff. This bass is me. Like, that's great. It's got its own thing going and you guys don't mind doing it. But I'm never doing that again. I hated it. Even for Halloween. What would I even, I don't. I'm

just not doing it. It's just not happening. Hey, Scott, you want to be the Joker this year? No. No, I don't. Come on, a little smeared lipstick on your lips. That's fine for the Joker. You don't have to put something in your eyes for that. Yeah, it's true. Lipsick's okay. I could do that. Yeah. That didn't bother me. I did kiss the baby. Nick brought the baby over yesterday and I kissed the baby on the head with my makeup lips and left a big old, big old lip mark on her head. So that was cool. Yeah, I like that. Hey, we got an email from Craig. Craig has a couple things he would like to share with us. He says, hi. I wanted to let you know why it's 999 in the UK relation to the conversation you guys had on Thursday show. This is about the emergency numbers. He says it was in 1937 when was first brought in due to a house fire in 1935 where five women. were killed and they went with 999 because it was the easiest number to dial on an old rotary phone they couldn't do zero zero zero zero for technical reasons so 999 was the next option

so that is the shortest little to do on a rotary phone as opposed to uh what are what are they called now the touchtone well not even touch notes yeah what rotary but rotary to touchtone to what is it now digital digital i mean it's it's still you're still touching things in order you're still touching things like it is a touchstone phone but there's not an actual button to press right but it makes sense that the nines are so close to that little stop bar that you would go with the three nines so this is the most sensible answer we've gotten a few like few people saying what they think it is to the send part yeah yeah this to me is the most reasonable reason that you would do 999 and not something else so now i make sense to me. I wasn't even thinking about rotary era. I was thinking, that's too close to those buttons.

Some little kid can hit it too easy. Well, yeah, well, this is before buttons. This is when, oh, no, the fire! Ah, the fire! And you got to go jik, jik, jic, jic. You know? Yeah. But no, one was the closest one. Like, when you spun that dial, one was right next to the metal, the metal trigger thing where it stopped. Oh, nine's not? Nine was the furthest, right? Or zero was the furthest. Like, zero was and the 9 was the second for this. So 1-1-1 would have been the shortest to do the rotary. So they're saying, so when he says it was the easiest number to dial, I got that wrong in my head.

Yeah, I'm not sure why that would be, yeah. This shouldn't be easier than 1-1-1, right? I don't know. Now I'm confused again. Yeah, 1-1-1 would be, yeah. 9-99, the easiest number to dial an old rotary phone. Is it because it's so far on the end, you can't go further to screw up it's just the furthest away so you're always going to get the nine but it's see it just

seems like you'd have to wait so why wouldn't you do the one which is closest right you're still you're still at the end line so you're not going past it but you're going zig zig zig instead of i can't think of any i can't think of any physical reason why the nine would be easier to dial because there would be times and you and i you know remember this from our old rotary phone dial days you'd be dialing somebody you call someone you get to that last number and there would be you're like your finger would catch on thing and it would hesitate on spinning the knob or or something and you'd have to start over and hang up and dial the whole number again right yeah so I hated that era I didn't like rotary phones and I'm glad they went away I'll just say that yeah you know since we got our portable

button pushing business in the 80s our little touchtones touchtone was was great yeah that whole thing it's fascinating right because that it wasn't the turning of the number it was the release pulling your finger out of the rotary and having you go for that length of time that would send that number through to the switchboard to get it going yep and you had to do at least seven of them at least seven every time or not seven I guess uh yeah you'd have to seven well area code I guess sometimes you go more about yeah yeah but at least seven digits and we're you and I are both fortunately not old enough to know the time when you would call the operator and see I could

Give me Beachwood, 457, 8, 9, thanks. That must have been wild. My grandma did that. She was a switchboard operator, and she really liked that job, but it sounded crazy. She'd tell us stories where they'd get really busy on holidays, and she'd have to work the board on, like, a Christmas or something. You'd have to wait for somebody to talk to, to then have them direct you to the person you really wanted to talk to. Yeah, I wish she sent me a picture forever ago of her at the board. I wish I don't know where it went.

Oh, that's cool. Got to find that. It was awesome. Well, anyway, he also goes on to say on a different topic, Brian was talking about having a mask in his car when he lifts. Excuse me, and I'm sure some people may have thought, why not open your window so that that would make it, but that would make it worse. You need to open the opposite window because that's where the airflow will go towards.

You don't want it coming right past you. Love the show, Craig T. from the UK. I was thinking, so I think about that, right? Like, if somebody gets in and they're coughing and I don't want to be the, I don't want to make it obvious, but I want to open the window next to them and my window so that as air comes into my window on the left side, front left, it goes through the car out their window and takes whatever germs and virus and everything with them. So, so I would, yeah, I wouldn't have my window, it couldn't, we wouldn't work with just

my window open because the air would be coming in and going out that window and basically like running all the viruses right past my face. Does your car do that thing where if you open the rear windows only and not the fronts, the car goes? Oh, yes, I hate that. Like, it's like you're putting your hands over your ears and going, wop, wop, whop, whop, which drives me freaking crazy. And people do that, right? Like, they'll get in my car and they'll open the back window. And it's like, oh, nope, I've got to open any of the front windows to help offset that pressure.

Yeah. I'm super sensitive to that. Which reminds me there's a New York law somewhere in some New York County that passed a law, local law that if you are, if you wear a mask in public, you can be arrested and it's up to a thousand dollar fine. And they have, there's some language in there about religious and health exemptions, but they leave it up to the cop as to whether or not they want to do anything. Where is this? This is in here. Let me find it. No, let's see, mask law, New York. This just hit my news feed this morning and I didn't have time to really dig. But, um, first thing I would do

like it snopes up for this one it sounds it sounds so let's see new york governor nope not the math not that one or is it news here we go suburban new york county this is according to the associated press suburban new york county bans wearing a mask to hide identity but uh they're also counting like face uh like health masks yeah like they're like 97 masks and so says yeah because they will do that they'll hide your identity all your all it shows up is your eyes i guess let's see Republican-controlled Nassau County Legislature

Long Island would prevent violent protesters from hiding their identity 12 Republicans blah blah blah blah um masks protect people who express political opinions

that are unpopular but but and so some people are like well okay but you've completely lost the track if you're not going to allow people who are sick to cover themselves

exactly that's the that is what we want people to start doing This is like if there's anything else that we've learned from the pandemic, give people, let people feel like, you know what, I'm coughing this morning. I'm going to put on a mask or I've got the sniffles or I've got a sore throat. I'm going to put on a mask. And now you're basically saying, no, if you do that, we're going to charge your $1,000. Yeah. Basically, the supporters say the bill would keep protesters who commit acts of harassment or violence from evading accountability.

But in contrast, opponents say it would infringe on the health privacy laws of people with disabilities and would likely. not enforce fairly across different communities. Well, I agree with that last one. Yeah. You know? Like, come on, you guys. So, it'll just make it a law not, you're not allowed to protest with a mask on. Yeah.

How about that? A-holes. And that also includes those Nazi A-Holes that keep going around the country where they're all covered up. They're happy to wear a mask. Jerks. Best from, sorry, not best. Tony from Chicago, who says best. That's the best Tony from Chicago.

Yeah, he says this. It's a music. email. Hey, Brian, you mentioned Trevor Haum on today's TMS. Horn. Horn? Why is that look like a name? Because they are in the end. They are close together. Yeah, they are very close together. Not sure if you're familiar with the Yes album drama.

I'll bet he is. But Trevor did lead vocals rather than John Anderson, who sat the record out. One of my faves from Yes, back in the day, headphones and a six-pack go back to high school, run through the light dude best from Tony and Chicago. Yeah, that's so cool. That is cool.

Yeah, no, uh, uh, Trevor Horn Like, in addition to being half of the Buggles and happy anniversary a few days ago to MTV, Buggles' first video played on MTV, video, he killed a radio star. Trevor Horn was half of that band. He did tons of production, worked with Seal, worked with tattoo, and this is like the third time tattoo is getting brought up. Crazy. But worked with Frankie Goes to Hollywood and the Art of Noise and all that stuff. but yeah he produced the biggest one of the biggest albums from yes that um uh 9-1-25 owner of a lonely

heart album and toured with them as i think doing lead vocals during one of the tours and maybe it was the drama tour um i guess i didn't realize that he did lead vocals on the drama album but um i'm sure i i'm sure i read that the last one of the last books i read was trevor horn's adventures in modern recording and what a freaking fascinating book that is about about music and all these different people he's getting to work with and what dicks managers can be when you've got a great artist really talented and a nice artist likable person and then a manager can kind of step in and just be a dick and ruin the whole relationship between the producer and the artist that's not fun i don't like that no it's not fun yeah but it was a great it's a really

cool book, and I'm sure he mentioned that about drama, and I didn't remember that, but that's really, really cool. The only cool trivia I know about Video Killed the Radio Star was that Hans Zimmer played keyboards in it. Yeah, yeah.

I love that. Which I think we found out earlier this year during a film sack, right? Something like that. We were, yeah, we were looking at Hans Zimmer's background and that came up or something, somehow it came up. And it doesn't matter if I'm at a, you know, public place and somebody's just talking about video killed the radio star.

I feel like I have to pipe up and say, did you know? Like, I don't know why. I just have to. I have to let people know that I know it. There's something about one of the women in the video went on to be, um, uh,

let's see here. There's so much great trivia about that, um, that song in that video. Oh, my, I also speaking to which while you're looking that up, my, um, my brother-in-law,

I guess is he, texted me and said that we are now close or the beginning of MTV. The launch of MTV is now closer to Pearl Harbor than we are to the launch of MTV. To the launch of MTV really? It's insane. Yeah, I don't like

it. Let's see here. So Russ Mulcahy director, Australian director, Russell Mulcahy directed it. We've seen a bunch of his stuff on on film SAC as well. Yeah, that name comes up a lot on there.

Yeah, he's, like, his biggest thing was the hungry like the wolf video for Duran Duran with all of the slow motion table flipping and running through the crowd and that sort of thing. Yeah, I'm not seeing, shoot, I'm not seeing who the actresses were, oh, Debbie Doss, maybe that's it. Debbie Doss. Somebody who complains about operating systems. Oh, we're going to be a real, a real Debbie Doss. Boy, aren't you a big Debbie Doss? Yeah, calm down, Debbie Doss.

Let's see. She was the vocalist on one of David Gilmore's solo albums from Pink Floyd. Yeah, all right, no, that's not. There's something about one of the women in the video. I don't think it's the woman who did the vocals on the song, but... She went on to become the Queen of England. Something like that, yeah, right. The ambassador to Albania.

Um, all right, let's, uh, get to some news and, uh, uh, you know, we got to inform people. So here you go. Oh, somebody yesterday told me that we didn't do enough, we are not doing enough Olympic coverage. And I'm like, oh, really? You guys want Olympic coverage? Did we get blocked for our Olympic footage yesterday of, uh, long dung pole vaulter, dude? Yeah. We got a lot. We got blocked for showing a repeating gif of him getting a nerds hit. I showed that gift. Here's, here's what I love about Tina. Uh, I say, hey, you got a lot. You got a lot. Uh, we got a lot. Uh, watch this gif and I show her the gift and I don't say a thing about it and she's like oh yeah no he's yeah totally knocked the bar over and I said yeah do you see how we knocked the bar over it took her three watchings of it and be saying that for her to finally see oh my god yeah I didn't see it the first time either that is what I love Tina that is what I love most of yeah I didn't know what I said the first time either I had to I had to look at it twice because the headline wasn't even when I first saw it it wasn't even clear yeah I heard you guys told you me what I was looking for before I saw the guess. So it didn't, it didn't trigger for me. I mean,

it triggered for me immediately the first time I watched it. And I got a take down within 20 minutes or something. And they said that it was blocked in all territories. I'm like, crap, what are my options? So I went and looked and I thought, I could contest it. But those guys, like the Olympic coverage stuff, those you are not allowed to rebroadcast this. Rules are so hardcore. I thought maybe I was just screwed and then they have a new option I don't know how new it is it was new to me because I've never used it but I have an option now where I can just delete the entirety of the section it appears in so that's what I did so sorry to everybody who watches on video the videos are up now but you're not going to see the guy get his nuts racked sorry I wish you could I wish you could

you can go seek it out yourselves you'll find it somewhere else very easy to find yeah not hard to find all right let's get to this news here It's time for the news, Brian, brought to you by.

It says your staff at the Lindell store in Wyke Regis, Dorset have put up posters urging customers to close the door behind them to try to get Stephen to stop sneaking in and grabbing the crisps. What are those Doritos he grabbed? Let's see. I don't know. Let me see. I think their Doritos or something like it. It's next to a bag of Tostitos, which are not good.

It's whatever it is. It's the closest bag you could get. Yeah, I love that. Let's see. It says the manager of the store, Stuart Harmer, said the crafty Siegel is made off with about 30 packets of crisps in the past two months alone. He said, quote, trying to explain to the powers that be that I've got stock less because of a seagull? Well, they think that's a joke. I'm curious how he opens it.

Do they show this video like he's got it? It shows him kind of prying on it and then they cut it. Yeah, I wonder how he rips that. Those don't seem like they'd be that easy to open for a for a seagull. Yeah. Someone without opposable thumbs. They should have kept filming.

I don't know why they stopped there. They're even difficult for humans to open, let alone seagulls. Come on now. I just love how. just how nonchalance like oh there's another bag see you later like he's not even messing around he doesn't hang around he doesn't sneak doesn't even like act like he's in there for some other purpose and they just grabs it and runs yeah he's you know he's this bird's an all-star man I love him right uh let the bird alone let him have a bag once in a while just once in a while

give him a bag I'll pay for I'll pay for this bird's bags okay is that is that what you need is that will that make you happy bird bags yeah bird bags I like that pay for I prefer that bird to have a sack. A sack of crisps. Sack of crisps. All right. Let's talk about a naked woman. Yeah.

Naked woman in our IRC jail. My favorite subject. Yeah. I love the naked women. They're great. What is an IRC? Oh, Indian River County is IRC. I'm like, IRC, like the chat relay thing?

Oh, that's an interesting. Yeah, it was an IRC jail. She mentioned a Nigerian prince and was put into IRC jail. Selling followers, and they put her in IRC jail. Moderator just timed them out for an hour. Right. She tried violently jamming a sandwich into a cellmate's mouth. Oh, man, can't have that.

Wow. Oh, that's gnarly. Please tell me the whole time she was yelling, you want the sandwich, you want the sandwich, here eat the sandwich. I mean, she may as well have. It would have gotten her in the same amount of trouble. The woman already locked up in the Indian River, County Jail was arrested again Monday after allegedly trying to force her

cellmate to eat a sandwich from the floor. Some real, uh, some real, uh, what's his name, vibes, uh, who ate the same, who ate the burger? Oh, uh, Hasselhoff. Hasselhoff. Hasselhoff burger. Oh. This is a real, this is enforcement of the five second rule.

The five second law is really being enforced here. And I would say to our audience, if you are behind on your memes and you've never seen that, you go seek out Hasselhoff on the floor of the burger. It's something else, man. You'll never be able to watch Baywatch the same way again. Or any of his bad TV shows that he made. Night Rider. Sure.

I love that show. But I'm not going to lie and say it was good. All right. There's a thing. Here's a thing about my childhood's television. A-Team, Night Rider, all that stuff. Manimal. Whatever.

They, I have fond feelings for it. I would be there on time to watch it. It's really kind of all we had also. But I'm not going to lie to you and say, This was great television. It never was. No, love boat, on the other hand, while you were watching all that. Yeah.

I was watching the Peabody Award winning Love Boat and just seeing what kind of hijinks gopher and dock we're going to get into that week. I mean, you guys think that modern, like, network-based procedurals are lame and overspent and, you know, overdone or whatever. Yeah. It's still so much better than what we had growing up. It wasn't great. I can't think of what I'd consider to be a show that's on now, currently running on now, that is of the low quality of what all the things we had to choose from in the 80s.

Yeah, I actually don't think it exists. And it's, I mean, somebody out there could tell me different. There were shows that were hugely popular, but popular doesn't always mean good. Like the Dukes of Hazard was a top three show, but it wasn't good. I mean, come on. It wasn't even that funny. It wasn't good. I guess I watched a few, I watched a couple episodes because you've made me.

I mean, the closest we ever got to, I don't know. I mean, Dallas was a big deal, but it wasn't good. I guess the straight-up reality garbage, like the Real Housewives stuff or below decks or anything on Bravo. Really, anything on Bravo, I think, is the... That's pretty bad. Is the difference, like, of the quality that we had to choose from in the 80s. Yeah, that's fair.

But when you're talking about actual fictional scripted television, I can't think of anything on now that's as bad as Knight Rider A-Team Love Boat any of that stuff that we had to choose from And later in the 80s we did

Things got better Hill Street Blues and you know Some drama As LA law That kind of stuff Things got better Toward the end

But in those early years Especially like Adventurey Science fiction-y Any of that What a desert that was Dude Oh yeah

I can Quantum Leap Coming in late 80s Early 90s Was that late Did that cross into the late 80s was 89 or something? 88, 89, something like that. Yeah, yeah.

And then crossing into the 90s. I think that's when things started to change. And I think what really, the biggest he change was, what, 95 with, or was it earlier, 92, 93 for Sopranos or X-Files? Sopranos was way later. X-Files. Yeah, Supranos was 99, I think. 99, yeah. Oh, yeah.

I think, right? Sopranos 99, I think. I don't remember. But yeah, you didn't see, and that was, of course, cable even then, and that was still sort of unusual. But for network TV, I feel like things didn't change for a long time. And part of it, I think, is TV was actor jail in the 80s. You know, you weren't good enough for movies, so what did you do?

No, exactly. And you never crossed over. Now everyone's crossing over. It's like a highfalutin thing to be on a good TV show. So, all right, anyway, this naked woman, let's get back to her. According to the sheriff, she grew violent when the victim refused to eat this sandwich. So she started trying jabbing the food into the woman's mouth. She is accused of cornering the cellmate, grabbing her hair and trying to force the victim to swallow the sandwich.

Gallagher also allegedly wrapped her arm around the victim, looking like she was trying to choke the woman. It took multiple deputies to detain the nude Gallagher. Okay, well, now it's starting making sense. Gallagher, yeah. Never mind. Now that you say Lassadim Gallagher, it's all, stuff is all coming together. Yeah, right? That's what I'm, I mean, I feel like, is she, I mean, is she Irish?

Is she, does she shorten it to Gak? Mm. Is she, uh. Does she explode watermelons on? Eat the sandwich. Eat the sandwich. It's going to go to waste. Gallagher, they had to restrain her.

The deputy noted during the struggle as authorities tried to restrain her into the chair. She bit one lieutenant and struck other deputies, according to this affidavit. Wow. Yeah, it's not great. And they really just barely mentioned the fact that she was naked. Like, it's really... Yeah, they really get into the nude. The video shows her naked inner cell when she grabbed the sandwich off the floor and try to get the other woman to eat it.

No explanation. You know, they're really focused on the sandwich. Yeah, why is the naked part, which feels like burying the lead? Why is that not explained? I mean, I understand that we're probably... dealing with somebody with some, either some extreme mental illness or drug caused something, or I don't know what, but why are they allowed to be in a cell together and she can just sit around naked? I mean, maybe that's okay. I don't know. I don't know what jail etiquette is

in 2024. No idea. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. You might be familiar with his presidential run as an independent. Yeah. He's got some weird stuff to say. He does, yeah. Oh, boy, does he? Yeah, boy, if you've seen the latest episode of John Oliver's this week tonight, but, um, or last week tonight, it is, it is all about RFK Jr. and holy cow, he's got some issues. Does he get into his brain worm? Is that a thing? Yeah, yeah, the dead worm they found in his brain and, uh, yeah, I know, I keep why we call it this week tonight, last week tonight. did he eat a dog he ate a dog or something wasn't that a thing too oh was that a thing i don't know but um barbecued a dog or something he claims to be i never did anything there was uh antivax never said anything antivax and then it's like but yeah here's all these clips of you doing all this antivax stuff and your trip to samoa and convincing them not to get vaccinated for a giant measles outbreak that killed you know a few hundred people blah blah blah it's like oh geez man this guy he's kind of what is Cheryl hinds doing what is she doing I don't know. She's, uh, she needs to curb her enthusiasm. You know what I mean?

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Once received, or sorry, retrieved a bear that was killed by a motorist and then left it in New York Central Park with a bicycle on top of it. Sparking a mystery that consumed a city a decade ago. But he's now admitted to it. He's like, yeah, I did it. Kennedy described the 20, or sorry, 2014 incident so 10 years ago and a video that was posted on social media on Sunday. adding it would be included in a New Yorker article that he was expecting to be damaging. So he was trying to get out ahead of it, basically.

The article is published Monday included a photo of Kennedy with his fingers in the bear's bloodied mouth and a mock grimace on his face. He left pant leg, or sorry, his left pant leg appears to have blood stains on it. In this very bizarre incident, Kennedy's quixotic campaign that has divided his famous family and left Republicans and Democrats alike, concerned about his potential impact on the race. Kennedy has acknowledged a parasite that lodged in his brain died. He denied eating a dog after a friend shared a photo with Vanity Fair magazine showing Kennedy

dramatically preparing to take a bite of a charred animal that looked like a dog. He claims it's a goat. I still have questions if it's a goat. I don't care if it's a goat. That's still weird. Yeah, it's still damn weird. In the video, Kennedy recounts the story

of actress Roseanne Barr says he was heading to a falconry, rather excursion with a friend when a woman driving ahead of him hit and killed the young bear with her vehicle. He says he then put it in his own car intending to skin it and eat the meat, but the day got away from him. The day got away from so he dragged it into the park and put a bicycle on top of it. The weirdest part of the whole thing is like, I'm going to take a picture with this dead bear.

This is really funny. All right, well, I guess I'm done. You know why I should really put a bicycle on top of this dead bear. Yeah. I mean, look, I'll be honest. I think that having a third candidate is not a problem. I think having new ideas in our system is great. All that stuff is true.

This is the wrong effing guy. All right. Golly. Yeah. He's weird. He's really weird. Like, that's weird. Yeah.

I don't even think, I don't think that even the never Trumpers would consider this far wackadoo, you know, this, this level of wackadoo. Yeah. I mean, I guess if you told me, our own. only choices this fall were him or trump oh gosh let's not even think about this scenario that's that really truly is choosing between a turd and a shit sandwich right in new choices please yeah i'd write my i'd do like jury i'd write my i'd write my mom in that's what i'd do yeah yeah gross uh well anyway there you go bear in the bear in the park why not uh let's see we got

room for one more. Live crab found snapping at snacks inside of vending machine. Got another little animal trying to get free food. Oh, poor thing. Well, yeah, no kidding. The seagull, the bear, and now the live crab. Didn't do this on purpose. It wasn't supposed to be all animal based today. I guess one lady

was naked, but she's sort of an animal. Anyway, there was a live crab found at snapping at snacks inside a vending machine. A man in Iowa found something very unusual stuck in a vending machine. Sosa Mesa said when he took a photo after several people tried to use second floor vending machines located on the Francis building in downtown Sioux City.

Mesa, who works at Pepsi, sent the photo to K-T-I-V, which I think is K-T-intravenous. Anyway, K-T-T-V. K-T-V. We want to have one here called K-J-J-ZZ, and it's spelled K-J-ZZ. Oh, yeah, I'm sure jazz is the first thing you think of when you see those four letters to get. Yeah, I really don't like it. I think they need to change it because we've had it for a long time. They carry the local jazz games

And I just don't like Cages, is what people call it Yeah Anyway, let's see, where was this here? On Thursday, several people wanted to get some snacks from the machine found something else snapping at them instead. They thought it was a mouse.

It wasn't. Maintenance for the Francis building called Pepsi about what was happening. So Mesa was sent out to check on the machine When he got there, he found out that a crab was in there. Snap it, people. Snip, snip, snip, snip, skip, get the F away from my snacks. I'm a crab. Bye, Cheetos.

By the time Mesa got, to the machine on Friday morning, the crab was dead. The crab never got what it needed, I guess. It's interesting, looking at the photo, I was expecting it to be fully inside the vending machine, like where the little springs are and that sort of thing, but looking

at the photo, he's in the place where you just retrieve the food, like, after it's come out. Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah, why didn't somebody take him out of there and get him somewhere safe? It's lame. I bet they were just chicken, and they were like, call yeah call Pepsi make Pepsi do it you know is Pepsi okay my grandma soft patch cookies uh hey bill

do you want to take that out no is Pepsi okay yeah we'll get Pepsi to do it Pepsi is okay in this case get it my Pepsi is okay joke yeah I get you uh well there you go live crabs to take in a break when we come back from this break we're going to spend some time with Amy she's got some books to recommend I have one that I just started that I will definitely mention and uh it's book time it's that time of the month so come back in a minute after this song break from Brian yeah let's go to Dallas Texas and some rock this is some

some heavier stuff for you people who demand the heavier stuff I like it too that's a qualification by the way I don't just play like well I think other people like it I don't like it but I think other people nope it's got to pass the

the Brian test if I don't like it it does not get played but I like this this is a band called Empires but they have two eyes in the name don't we all they've got a brand new single called Never Enough

the song tells us story of how hard it is to walk away from a bad relationship. We've all been in a situation that doesn't work, but we can't let go. All the little reminders, we think, the scars we carry around with us, written by a podcaster about a long time coho. Wait a minute.

Weird. The band is called Empires. This is the song, Never Enough. Falling over the edge, feeling like I never did, everything just to make it through, They left a mark on you Cause my heart I've got the skies Cause my heart I've got the skies You kill me in the way I love

So why do I want it so much Wanted so much You're like the perfect drug A little is never enough Never be enough Push me But I won't fall Just hoping

That I'll lose it all Waiting, but I'm hanging on. Been fighting these demons all alone. Because my heart I've got the skies. Because my heart have got the skies. You kill me in the way I love. So why do I want it so much? Wanted so much.

You're like the perfect truck A little is never enough Never enough Falling again Into emptying this It's too late You're in my face Because my heart

I've got the skies Because my heart have got the skies Because my heart I've got the skies Because my heart I'm got the skies You're in the way I love So I do I want it so much Why so much

Empires. Brand new song called Never Enough. Big thanks to the O'Donnell Media Group for sending that one along over to me. Chris O'Donnell and his side project of running a record company. That's right. And his Robin Nipp. Did he have nipples, too, or was it just bat nipples? Oh, he definitely had nipples.

He had nipples, too. Yeah, it was like, uh, yeah. Chum nipples, they call him. Hello, chum. Come on, chum. Let's go stop the joker. Yep, those nipples were great. All right, check this out, y'all.

Where is it? This. One of the things that I enjoy also is reading. All the way from beautiful somewhere near Atlanta, Georgia. We have the lovely, the beautiful, the wonderful, the talented, Amy Robinson. Hello, Amy. Oh, well, thank you so much. Good morning, friends. How are you? Good. Good. Feels like I'm sorry to traumatize you with all the horrible animal stories on the first half of the show today. Oh, my God. It's mostly the crab in the vending machine. I'm like, I'm never putting my hand in like one of those, you know, where you can't see it because of the flappy thing. No, no, not doing it.

Oh, really? You're going to look in there first, like, scope it out with you. flashlight on your phone and then make sure. Have I never told you guys this story about my phobia of crabs? No, do it. No. That's her. Oh my gosh. I have such a, okay. So when I was younger, uh, we used to have family friends who had like a condo in Panama City. So we would go for a week or two in the summer. And it was right on the beach. And my sister, who was 10 years older than me, got the unenviable task of having to watch me. But, you know, she would just sit on one of those, you know, those aluminum folding chairs that we all had, you know, that had like the plaid cloth things, you know.

Yeah, plasticy cloth, yeah, straps. Yes, exactly. And then that whole chair would be useless. Yes, exactly that. So she'd sit out on one of those and I would go out into the water and play with my little, my little pale. You know, you could see it, right? Like the little plastic pale with the scallopy handle and the, and the shovel and whatnot.

And I'd just be playing out there in the water. water and I scooped up a big thing of water and in it now again I'm like four or five years old so in my mind this crab was like the size of a basketball okay I'm sure in real life it was probably about the size of that crab that was in the vending machine but in my brain it was this giant monster and I could see its little pinchers coming for me and I freaked out and went screaming running up the beach now as I look and I'm like yelling for help and my

sister is falling over in that aluminum chair laughing because my dumb butt didn't drop the bucket oh no oh you still carrying the bucket with me and like

this crab is effectively chasing me up the beach because I'm carrying it so yeah and then my sister decided to compound this injury by then telling me, you know, all those little holes you see in the sand, you know, that's where the crabs live. Yep. Oh, great.

That's a helpful thing for a sibling to do you. Yeah. Exactly. Like all those holes, a little breathing holes, every single one. Yeah, it feels like something I would have done to my sisters. So, no, feel bad. I would have probably done the same thing. You, uh, so they're basically sea spiders and you know it better than any of us.

So, you know. I'm with you can you eat crab like someone says here we're on a crab boil you're fine with that oh yeah I can eat it I mean I prefer I prefer like the crab meat to be yeah I prefer like the crab meat to be already like processed you know I don't I don't like get like a whole crab and have to crunch it myself like that does kind of creep me out a little bit but um you know as long as it's not moving like I hate those places where you go and you can like pick out your own crab or your own lobster or whatever and I could see it moving I'm like no nope you pick one for me it's cool like I'm good yeah I think that's a reasonable fear I don't think this is a thing I can't judge you for

this this is they're basically spiders that we have all agreed is okay to eat and that's weird you know it's weird that we've done it yeah as a people and lobsters are cockroaches yeah that we've agreed to eat yeah they're basically cockroaches they're really I mean you go to a fancy place and it's like oh man the the lobster's so expensive here and I'm thinking yeah but why It's a sea bug. It's a bug. Like, what are we doing? They're so yummy.

They're so yummy. They're tasty, tasty bugs. Yeah, they are tasty bugs. But if, if we looked at, like, you know, the comparison of like, yeah, here's the carapace of a cockroach and here's the carapace of a lobster, not too far. Yeah. Yeah. Or even Codads, man. They're basically just tiny versions of that same thing.

And I love them. But if I think too hard about it, gross. Yeah. Yeah. No, best not to. best not to think too much about it that's see that's why i can't also we've been to we've been to scotland and i i try very hard whenever we travel you know experience new things and try new things and whatnot and i could not get past haggis i was like i can't do it because i know i like

i know too much if you'd have just told me it was sausage i'd probably eat it and then later you could tell me that hey that was haggis and i would probably have been fine but i nope i can't i can't do it plus the name is terrible Haggis oh yeah no it sounds like it sounds like a guy you have looking after your your farm you know yeah old haggis hag like it begins with hag

it's like yeah it's not I don't like it Haggis it sounds terrible George Collins old thing about Garbonzo beans those are the first four letters of garbage yeah it's true they are that's why they rebanded as chickpeas

exactly yes well that's true it's a much nicer thing to much nicer than garbonzo beans. Well, speaking of the garbonzo beans of literature, we're going to get into those. You've got two files today, which means you've probably got two books to recommend today, I assume. I do. I do have two books to recommend today. So we'll go, I take it you can probably see the file names on them. So one of them has a one after the date.

So you can play that one first. And I don't have, I will not. set this one up, because that's better. All right. Better to not. Here it is. Once two plus two. Whoops, hold on. Once two plus two. It's a computer.

A computer is hassling me. I say, incorrect. Once two plus two. I feel something. I'm lying down. I'm on something soft. A bed. I think my eyes are closed.

All I have to do is open. them i try but nothing happens why can't i open my eyes open and open open dang it oh i felt a wiggle that time my eyelids moved i felt it my eyelids creep up and blinding light sears my retinas i keep my eyes open with sheer force of will everything is white with shades of pain LED lights shine down on me cameras in the ceiling watch my every move creepy though that is i'm much more concerned about the robot arms the two brushed steel armatures hang from the ceiling each has an assortment of disturbingly penetration looking tools where hands should be can't say i like the look of that i'm wearing a breathing mask it's tight to my face and connected to a hose that goes behind my head can i get up no but but i'm wearing a breathing mask it's tight to my face and connected to a hose that goes behind my head can i get up no but I can move my head a little. I look down at my body. I'm naked and connected to more tubes than I can count.

There's one in each arm, one in each leg, one in my gentleman's equipment, and two, the disappear under my thigh. I'm guessing one of them is up where the sun doesn't shine. That can't be good. Where am I? This sounds like a rough time for this guy. Right? Yeah, sorry. I knew that one was a little bit longer than a clip I would normally play, but it just really sets the scene for literally the beginning of this book. And it's, you know, that when you start reading this book, you know as much as he knows. And it's great. So this is Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. And Andy Weir, of course, who wrote The Martian. And if, if, if, you.

any of you, like, read the Martian, loved it, and then read Artemis and were kind of, oh, kind of disappointed, thought maybe Andy Weir was like, you know, a one-trick pony. This is very much a return to form. If you liked the Martian, you will like Project Hail Mary. And I had, I had kind of resisted that for a while because I was in that camp. I was like, uh-huh, couldn't really get through Artemis, man, you know, but Project Tail Mary, good stuff. It's got the same kind of irreverence that his character of Mark Watney has and The Martian is present in this character here, but also, like, as much science, as much,

you know, problem solving, all that kind of stuff. It's all in there. And it's good. So, and yeah, Somebody says, you know, that they enjoyed Artemis. That's great. You know, I'm not saying Artemis was bad. It just, it just didn't hit the buttons I was expecting it to hit coming from Andy Weir. It's also very hard to follow up something as successful as that first book, you know? Your sophomore effort is always tricky. Right.

Exactly. Exactly. So, yeah. And I, like I say, when you start this book, he wakes up on a table and there's a robot asking him what's two plus two. and he can't quite speak and that's all he knows and so he spends the rest of the book now you can deduce because of the cover of the book has like an astronaut doing an EVA that he's probably in space and uh you know so there there are things that are given away from the blurb and and whatnot but uh yeah so um but you're basically figuring

all this out along with him and the way that the narrative is crafted he gets little pieces of his memory as like a flashback oh no nope you're back i heard that too you're good you're back oh yeah i saw discord like did a funky thing on me there um but yeah he sort of he sort of uh has some amnesia about who he who he is and like at one point he tries to figure out like why he leans towards not swearing which is kind of hilarious like he says things like I don't give a flying fudge and he's like wait flying what really why what and so he has to figure that out like why he's why he's predicated towards our you know has a predilection towards not swearing and uh which is kind of humorous and you know the pieces sort of come

together as flashbacks and like I say the way that the narrative is crafted it's kind of more fun the less you know going into it because you can kind of figure out the puzzle along with him and uh and it's really good was that him reading it or is that who was that the narrator no that was uh ray porter uh who was who is narrating it and you might recognize his voice because the last time i was on and i recommended uh we are legion we are bob uh same narrator Oh, that might be why. He sounded really familiar and I couldn't place it. So that might have been it.

Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, I really enjoyed it. Like, I couldn't stop listening to it. Could not stop consuming it. And I, you know, I constantly wanted to know what was going to happen. Excuse me, happen next. And yeah.

And it's just, it's an enjoyable fun ride similar to the Martian. It's a nice time to remind everybody that he was a chief or one of the chief engineers on Warcraft 3 at Blizzard before he broke out and became a very successful writer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Guys cool. Awesome.

I didn't even know you had a new book out. So you're informing us as well as entertaining us today. Nice job. Yeah. I mean, it's not that new. It came out in 2021. But as with all things like the last four years, like I feel like anything that kind of came out in the last four years can be kind of new to anyone. And really, because, you know, what is time?

Time, yeah, means nothing. What is time? What is time? Awesome. Well, there's book number one, everybody. What do you got else for us to? Yes. So book number two, I brought along.

I was sort of inspired to bring this one up because of the Olympics going on. I don't know if you guys are watching more than just like pole vaulter. but I'm very much enjoying, like, the, watching the Olympics and just marveling at, you know, the feats that these people can, can do. It's, it's really impressive. So, yeah, and this was a book written by someone who was a competitive gymnast. And, yeah, this was actually the clip, I will say, is pulled from the trailer, from the movie that was made based on this book. And it's all, it's based on, it's based on a memoir, basically.

So it's, it's all based on a true story. All right, here you go. That's it, Danny. Excellent. Melman, you were good. I train seven days a week, 50 weeks out of the year. School's kind of a breeze. I get straight age.

Hey, Dan. Looking good, all right. Thanks, Trev. Can they all be in love with me? I got great friends. I'm in great shape. And I only sleep alone when I absolutely want to. Dan.

I want to know what's going on. With some hard work, I'm sure you'll be able to walk again. Help you with some. What the hell did you just do? There's a lot you'd have to know before you could understand what you saw. Mine's just a reflex organ, reacts to everything. Talks with that rash. I don't know what to do now.

Everything has a purpose, even this. And it's up to you to find it. A warrior does not give up what he loves. He finds the love and what he does. I think I hear Nick Nolte in there. You do indeed. Is that the warrior? That's the warrior, isn't it?

Yes, that is a way of the peaceful warrior is the name of the book. And the movie is called Peaceful Warrior. Yeah. So like the book itself, it's sort of subtitled a book that changes lives, which I think is a little, you know, that's a little much. But I mean, it does, it does through a narrative way, it does raise some really good questions and some, it asks the reader to do some introspection through, you know, through the eyes of Dan who is both the protagonist. And, you know, it's not it's not a self-help book by any means. It is literally this guy telling his story of how he got through this. So he was a competitive gymnast. And as you can, here like he was he was kind of cocky he was good looking he school came easy to him you know he was an athlete and then he was in a car accident and uh was told that he might be able to walk again but obviously like doing gymnastics was right out and that just crushed him and then he came

across this enigmatic old man at a gas station and, you know, who sort of mentored him in sort of, you know, it all sorts of things like, you know, how to breathe properly. It's like meditation and mindfulness, compassion, stuff like that. But it, like I say, it's a little much to say, oh, this book changed my life. I mean, you know, in some ways, a lot of books that we read change our lives, right? Like, you are what you read. But, you know, this one does, you know, give some good inspiration for letting you know that you might have more power than you think. And, you know, you might be able to do great things if you allow yourself to.

I think I confused it with a whole other movie with the name Warrior in it. So he did a movie called Warrior. This is not it. That's a UFC thing with Tom Hardy and stuff. Also a great movie. Don't get me wrong. Yeah. But this is the 06 Peaceful Warrior, right?

Peaceful Warrior. Right. Yes. Okay. And the book and the movie differ. Like they have the same kind of narrative around, you know, Dan Millman's life. But the book concentrates more on kind of the, the spiritual journey that he kind of goes on with this guy who he calls Socrates.

He never actually learns his name. He just calls him Socrates. But he, but the, the movie is more of a sports movie. You know, I'll say that. Like it's, it, it feels more like a sports movie. Like, if you watch the movie, it's kind of like watching the miracle season, if you ever saw that, like where the, the volleyball team, where the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the girl. dies and then like the team sucks and they have to like fight their way back and you know all that so that's also a good movie recommend that movie as an aside but um it's kind of like that you know it's it feels like a sports movie i like sports movies overcoming all odd sports movies i am unabashedly i don't care if they're trope yeah totally i don't care if you

could predict that they're going to come they're going to beat the odds and and succeed in the end I'm totally in for it for all of it. Yeah. Yeah. And so it's just like two different ways to tell this same story. And I enjoyed them both, to be honest. So there you go. So again, this book was Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman. And the first book was Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Nice. A couple of great recommendations. And I would just say I've only started it. Only two chapters in. But if you're in for some horror right now, I started a book called The The Black Farm, and it was recommended to me, but I don't even remember who, but it's a book one of, I guess, a two-book series, and it is freaking wild. I don't even want to give anything away. Let's just say that, I don't want to even say that. I don't know what to say about it, except that it's rad so far. So go look it up yourself, see what you think. It's called the Black Farm. A little bonus dangly recommendation there for you. I know. A bonus dangly recommendation. That's right. Just hanging out the side.

It hasn't until then. Yeah. Yeah. Don't go pole vaulting with one of those. Now we're out. Excellent. Well, thank you so much, Amy. Always feels like too long in between times we get you on here.

But we do look forward to your next appearance. And may all your books be page turners. Oh, thank you. So. Oh, I didn't mean to cut her off that quick. Join'n't. That was just a finger flick of a problem there. It was a fat fingered.

Oops. All right. Real quick. Oh, I want to give somebody in our, in our Discord name Nubing. I don't see him in the chat

in most days, so I don't know if he's even been in there, but I want to give him the credit that we were trying to give yesterday for the idea of, hey, the TMS title

Brian, let's get out of here with some music, though. Do you got some for us? I do. Landon wrote in and asked for this one. He said, hey, steal this album in B-Y-O-B. August 1st marked my 33rd anniversary of the day I spawned to celebrate. Can the cover connoisseur, find me a song covering the band's system of a down? Well, sure.

If there isn't anything that meets your standards, any musical genre crossing cover of a normally heavy song will do. Love the show, though. Landon from Baton Rouge. Nice. Home of the stick, the red stick. Let's get to this one here. This is one we played on the show before, but it's, damn good. I can't not play it again.
