Bill, right now I'd kill for a big fat, blind gay guy if we could just get some damn work done around here. Morning stream. We're not toys. We're action figures. Hello everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for August 27th, 2024. I'm Scott Johnson. And that's Brian Ibitt. Hi. Well, hi. I mean, you know, hi. Weird. Weird. Weird. Weird. Weird. Weird. Weird. Weird. Weird. Weird wild stuff. It's funny how. It doesn't matter. If someone says weird, I think of that. So you're really the same thing. Yeah. It's just hard not.

Danny Carvey's Johnny Carson in person. It's hard not to. That thing was such a part of our growing up, man. It really was. Our teen years, I should say. Not really are growing up. But we're still growing up. My sister says your brain doesn't form until you're like 27 or something like that.

So, you know. Mine's still forming. Yeah, I feel like mine's still struggling to form. It'll eventually get there. Anyway, we hope you're all well and had a nice night. We're here for a Tuesday edition of the show. Yeah, that's right. Later on, Bill will be here.

We got all kinds of news to cover. It's going to be just a fun, chill, quality Tuesday, all right. Cool. Cool. I like quality Tuesdays. And also, Carter was kind of feeling rough yesterday, so we had to bump the Monday show today. So now you get a Tuesday Monday show. It's going to be a Tuesday Monday show.

Yeah. One of the downsides of naming it after a day is that if you ever have to push it. You've committed. Well, we committed to morning. I mean, we committed to a time of day. That's true. Yeah. Yeah.

If we ever did a... But we didn't say morning where. We just said morning. We didn't say in what time zone. That's right. What's the old phrase? It's always morning somewhere or something like that. Yeah, that great country song.

It's morning somewhere. Is that really a song? No. It's five o'clock somewhere is the country song. It was Toby Keith, if I remember correctly, because that was one of the songs they played incessantly in the Toby Keith's. I love this. bar and grill in uh yeah uh what was in the harris you had the toby keith uh the toby keith experience

toby keeps i love this bar and grill nice so yeah toby keith died right yeah thinking to the right guy okay yeah he passed away oh he was young he's only 62 buried him in a red solo cup oh he's the solo cup guy he's the red solo cup guy yeah so if you went to the toby keeps i love this Bar and Grill at the Haras. Yeah. You could buy Red Solo Cup keychains, red solo cup champagne flutes, red solo cup, margarita glasses. Seems like they...

Probably a Red Solo Cup jockstrap, probably. Just a Red Solo Cup. Oh, man, that would be supportive, wouldn't it? Yeah, yeah. Well, all right, then. There's that. There's our country. It's our country news.

And Rebel Scum corrects me. I think it's Alan Jackson that's saying... five o'clock somewhere. Oh, did it? Probably. Yeah, whatever. Just slip one in, slip one out, slip one in. Interchangeable.

I did spend a bunch of time yesterday. So I did two things. I listened to the new Smashing Pumpkins album. Yeah, how is it? Which I think is very good. And it is like people are saying it's kind of a return to their sound of what people think of them as, the early days. But there's something going on with his voice.

And I know as people age, their voices can change. But he's got like a robust. now like and it comes out so no longer is it just my name me it's a sky is it right it's not like that it's more like I can't explain it I don't even know how to it okay someone needs to isolate it but it's really like the guitar work on it is really good it's definitely like a throwback to to old pumpkins I like it interesting all right yeah I'll listen I'll leave that thing to listen it was all right and then the other thing was oh then we listened to more of that Morgan Wallen fella. Did you? Yeah. And I like his music.

It's weird because his music is more like, you know, so in the Post Malone case, he went from, you know, sort of hip-hop, mumble rap zone, and then eeked over to the country. Morgan Wallen is the opposite. He sounds like a dude straight out of some Tennessee's like he's got this accent that comes out really strong in his songs but his music style is like way over into the hot hip hop sound oh yeah okay really so it's kind of like they're they're the same kind of deal but just coming from opposite yeah yeah i mean i know they literally had a crossover but they're but they just kind of are coming to the same place from those two different directions and i really quite liked it thought it was

good yeah if you can get past i mean it's very accenty it's very like i don't know if you can tail that this is a country song dear dear dear right yeah but the music's like yeah voice the the um twang in somebody's voice doesn't bother me it's uh it's just for a while there it just felt like

the cookie cutter method for writing a country song and every single country hit was the same way like start with start with a phrase that's frequently uttered and and then you start your chorus with that and then you make some little punny jokes about it And then you end your chorus with that same, the same catchy phrase. And that's the title of your song.

So, you know, yolo, you only live once. I tried it and I felt like a dunce. I did me find an able to find you only live once. Yeah, that's kind of true. I hate that you're right, but you're right. Like even like Shania Twain's, feel like a woman. Yes. They started with that and then they go.

and then they come back to it at the end yeah totally that's exactly i also don't like the ones where they talk so there's in this new post malone album there's one with him and who's the other popular there's another very popular country guy he does a crossover with it's oh it's the drink pour me a drink oh it's the pour me a drink okay yeah it's the yeah i forgot his name though yeah which is again another example of that what is it pour me a drink drink. Oh, Brian, you cut out again. What the heck? I did. Yeah. Do you have here? Uh, I still see my green moving. Do you have, uh, you don't have loop back on right now. No. No, you hear me now, though. Well, I hear you now, yeah. Okay, cool. But for a second, for a second there, you were happy. Weird. I didn't cut out in my own ears,

which is usually like when I, when the problem happens, I cut out my own ears and I hear it here. But in this case, I, I didn't. Maybe I got too loud with my singing of pour me a drink. Oh, it could have been. Who knows? Oh, here it is. Blake Shelton. That's who it is. Blake Shelton. So that song has a part of it where at the end he goes, I can't remember exactly that goes, but like Post Malone, I want to say his character because they kind of play it like characters.

So he's like, at the end he goes, boy, I sure can use a drink. And then Lake Shelton goes, oh, I got you, buddy. Don't worry, I got you, buddy. Oh, yeah. And then at the end it goes, told me a drink.

And then they end on that. It's like, I know Brian will hate this one. Yeah. It's too bad. I love Post Malone, and I'll give the album a trial, listen to it, but if it's exactly what I think it is, which I think it is, then it'll be a listen one and done. You know, I liked maybe two-thirds of the Beyonce country album. I don't know why they, why they, you know, for her cover of Blackbird, the Beatles Blackbird, why did they use the original guitar, it was the original guitar recording or something,

instead of the guitarist, her, H-E-R, she is, like, would have been perfect for that. Great collab right there is her and Beyonce doing Blackbird. Would have been amazing. Yeah, I like that song, too. Any up-and-coming female guitarist. Yeah, why would they have to use the, is there some honorific reason to use it? Like, maybe there's like a, I don't know. I mean, other than it's like, well, you know, it's a, yeah, I don't know.

I don't know what the reason would be. Jay Funktastic says If it ain't Merle Haggard or Willie, I ain't listening I'm kind of the same way, Jay I like pretty much any country that I like is pre-80s except for Sturgle Simpson and maybe a couple others

hitting this with Dolly post 1980s but if you go before that with Willie Nelson Kenny Rogers, George Jones, Hank Williams Hank Williams no follow-up numbers senior you like senior you're a big senior fan oh the big senior fan give me a tear in my beer and uh you know and uh he also does a song with him well with junior on um the post malone album

so he's got a collab with thank claims here yeah i was hoping they'd be a cover of are you ready for some football all my rowdy friends were coming over tonight own vibrato. It's very good. Yeah, thank you. I used to think that that was a post thing. Autotune kind of thing. Yeah, I was sure of it.

Nick's like, I don't think it is, dad. And I went and looked into it, and he definitely can do that. It's weird. Yeah, no, his interview with Howard Stern was fantastic. Oh, my gosh. Stephanie says country is worse than apps. You hate it worse than apps? Oh, my gosh.

Wow. How deep does that hole go for Stephanie? really hate it if she hates it worse than apps. Oh, my God. I mean, I can't even think of like a Wisconsin. I'm sure there are some very popular country artists in Wisconsin, but you don't think of, I don't think of country music when I think of Wisconsin.

No, me neither. I think of the violent femmes and I think of... Georgia's the weird one, because you get lots of country, but you get a lot of alternative and other strange stuff out of Georgia. Yeah, yeah, Georgia's all over the place. Texas is all over the place, because Austin, home to a lot of great non-country band. like the original lot of non-country bands.

It's almost like southern stereotypes don't exactly hold up, you know? For sure. I mean, Georgia? Devo came from Georgia. Yeah. Devo freaking B-52s. B-52s, right? R-E-M. Yeah, you get all these amazing bands out of there. Austin is weird, says Hobstock.

I mean, what isn't weird? Me and Hobbsdog live in Salt Lake City. We're pretty weird. Don't move here and make our housing prices go up. Thanks. Anyway, I got a call to pull. play, and this call right here is from a listener. This is from Colin in Washington. It's about the feud

and Lucky Phil when he was on that day, and I'll let him speak for himself. Hey, Scott and Brian, calling from Seattle, orthoist in the chat. Call him up the morning stream. Look, I was just listening to the morning stream, feud, the front of the morning feud, can't remember that. Lucky Phil, so lucky, did

such a great job. Talking about the things you buy the gas station, I am shocked, shot, shot, but no one said boner pills. Now, I think that might indicate the kinds of gas stations that I'm frequenting more than that's not brought up but man that was the first thing I thought of because those things you go up to the cash register that's all I see at the gas stations where I work and live just boner pills from wall to wall anyways love the show maybe it's just me I don't know the last time I said I don't think

I've seen boner pills at a gas station I don't know if I have either and I think the last pill I would take would be a boner pill that I got at a gas station I would eat gas station sushi before I took a gas station boner pill. Yeah, I guess if it's a brand name thing in the right packaging and you already know it, I guess that's fine, but I didn't realize it was even a, I didn't know, you could get those there. It seems like a weird thing to get. Yeah, you're on a road trip. What do you need? Corn nuts, I need some Doritos

and some boner pills. Thanks so much. I know, they probably, I mean, if seems it would be appropriate if they've got it, the Buckees up north, because, I mean, their mascot's a big beaver. That's true. Next time I'm up there, I'll take a look. It's probably behind the counter, right? It's not going to be like just a rotating display.

Yeah, I assume so. You're not going to let just kids grab a stack of them out in the aisle and then buy them. Right. Because they think they're dangerous because they send blood to places that it's not going naturally for that time. Plus, I don't think you're supposed to take them if you have any kind of blood pressure. Heart issues. Yeah. You get like high blood pressure.

L.C. Knight says, front and some, nope. front and center like right there in the bathroom i'm not i'm not i'm definitely not okay i would take it goes in this order gas station sushi boner pills from the counter at the gas station very very last on the list is boner pills that come out of one of those pole machines in a men's bathroom oh yeah that noise who's going in there ain't going in there ever yeah i won't do that speaking of which i'm at that macdonald yesterday we talked about this little bit pre-show but something i noticed there kim needed to pee because we've been at this soccer game all night. She's like, order the ice cream. I'm going to go pee. I said, great. She leaves.

She comes back. This is a relatively new McDonald's. It's not like some ancient one or we're not in a weird part of town. It's a nice, really nice area. She comes back. She goes, Are you looking for a light stop? Sorry, I hit a button. She came back going, they need, I need a key or something. And I said at a McDonald's, you need a key? Oh, sure. And I'd never heard of that at a McDonald's. That seemed weird to me. So she goes up to the front and it wasn't a key. just up there, they have a button they have to push to open up to men's or women's room. A button, interesting. Yeah.

And she went in there, and they had no toilet paper in this bathroom. I noticed in the behind the counter where everybody's preparing food, there are fries everywhere, all over the floor. Really? The place is full. I was going to say they have to push a button for you to get toilet paper. Yeah. Dispense it. But they didn't have any, like the place was a total nightmare.

Their screens in the, you know, they have the kiosks where you order. order now. Those were the greasiest, nastiest. I don't know who's running that location, but the thing's not only, it's not even six months old, this franchise, and it was so bad. It was so freaking down. So I was like, for a hot second, I'm like, you know, maybe you'll just pee and we'll leave because. Yeah, you don't eat food from this place. Yeah, but then the ice cream is fine, so it was all right. The, uh, there are parts of town, if I'm lifting and I need to stop somewhere and use a bathroom, there are parts of town where I have to go up to the counter and ask for a four-digit code to push the buttons on the bathroom door to use it.

Like Starbucks. Starbucks is my usual go-to because they're all over the place, and they're usually kept nice and clean and organized and maintained. You have a place that's always, for me, for me, it's noodles and company is always gross. Always gross in there. Oh, really? Yeah. I've never used a noodles and company bathroom.

Even just a restaurant, it's just bad, just dirty, greasy. Yeah. Not my favorite. Last time I used the airport bathroom, it was wrecked, but that was me doing it. So I can't really count that one. I got you. So you were patient zero in there. I get it.

You all heard that story where I actually left my car, abandoned my car in the airport pickup line, and acted like I was on the phone with picking up somebody to use the bathroom at the airport. Like in case somebody was watching, pretending I'm talking to, where are you in the front? Okay, I'll come and help you. I'll come and help pick you up. Yeah. 100% would have done what you did. Would have done it in a heartbeat. Hell, yes.

The alternative, far worse. So much worse. What are you going to just sit there and crap your pants? No. I would have been fine paying, what, $75 towing charge, getting my car out of an impound lot, whatever. Worth it. Fine.

Worth it. There was no chance I was making it back to any, any location. um clean like there was no place i get a driven to and made it in time it was it was happening i talked last week about that Thai place we took the kids to the other day yeah Thai land or Thai land that's right Thai space land land yeah and um I was sure because it's kind of a strip mall hole hole in the wall kind of place I'm like the bathroom's probably not going to be that great this is going to be kind of lame but I'm but I got to go so I'm going and it was the cleanest most prestigious most prestigious public bathroom I've used

in a decade. And I don't know why. I'm not saying that Thailand should have a bunch of dirty toilets. I'm just saying the rest of the stores, you know, chipped paint, couple of cracks, whatever, whatever. But this bathroom was so

clean, Brian. So nice. See, that's what you want? Yeah. That is what I want. And that's what I got. George Costanza would have put that in his report, in his app or whatever it was. And it wasn't an app. It was way before apps but uh yeah pre-app yeah was it was it a news how is he what was he doing with his map of the cleanest bathrooms in new york i don't remember what the deal was there was that just a map

that you could buy it was his plan or was it it was just his own i guess it was just his own map it wasn't for anybody else's just for him to use yeah but these days it would have been a map the art vandalay cleanest bathrooms in new york app that's right oh hell yeah and he'd probably make some finally george would make some real money you know Right, exactly. Real quick here, that reminded me of something. What was it? It was going to be...

Oh, I have a problem with apps. Can I explain my issue with apps? Is it the same problem Stephanie Inipetz has? No, this is different. Although this should be on her list, I think. But it just hit me yesterday because I'm using a couple of different apps, and I'm like, these apps suck compared to their web counterparts. Like the web version of IMDB, so much better than the app.

The app sucks ass. It's bad. The way it navigates... I like it on the iPad. I can't do it on my phone. I don't even like it there. I just mean usability-wise. I'm not talking about, like, interface, whatever, app stuff's fine.

But if you don't have app to web parity, like if you make an app that is just there to mimic what the web does, but do it with some fancy UI or whatever, then you have to keep parity with features. If you don't keep parity, what is the point? If your website, like for... I'll give you an example. Google Sheets.

It doesn't matter where you run this. iOS or Android, it's so bad on mobile. Yes. It's so bad. It's unusable. I just want to put one thing in a cell to remind myself, you know, for show notes. And it's such an ordeal. Like I pull up the Google sheet and it's like, okay, tap, tap, tap.

Nope, okay, text. What am I putting it? Oh, it is horrendous. It's so bad. Sheets really, really sucks. and the thing about sheets on web, really, really great. It's very feature-filled and wonderful.

I use it all the time. So my iPad, I don't even have the app. I just straight up use a browser. And my point is, if I can use a browser for your thing, and it's way better there, why are you making an app in the first place? Yeah.

I don't get it. I just don't get it. So what is it about the IMDB app, the app that you don't like on iPad? because for me it's I feel like that's actually it's I wouldn't say it's my preferred place to use it well I don't like all the ads number one but two oh sure my biggest issue is I don't like how so if you go to a movie let's say or a TV show scrolling through the cast oh it's just like okay where's the guy okay like okay there he is like when I'm on the iPad and I'm like I need to

just get information about stuff the web version of it is so much better than the freaking app. You are right about that, like getting through the cast list and stuff like that. Yeah, like why don't they just, why don't they just duplicate the experience but then take advantage of app functionality? I have no problem with that. It's just that you have feature non-parody. So if you're going to have a feature on one of them, then do it on both or why are you doing it at all? Like, just have the website. And I understand there's a, we have had a huge period here from like 08 until now where everybody feels like they have to have an app. And I

feel like maybe we're we've swung too far or people aren't keeping up like the facebook apps notoriously meta stuff is just shit their apps are shit compared to their web versions um threads is so much better on the web than it is on the freaking app like there's so many things i like about the web versions and it's not in it part of the reason is because the web is easy to go in and add things take away things tweak CSS do all these things that you can do with your website and it's in real time and everybody gets it all at once on an then if you have an app you're like well i guess we better get around to making that app have that feature we just put in this thing six months ago like what's the point stop having an app then

there should be a rule that's my rant for the day it's a very very accurate uh appropriate rant thank you rant appropriate um we got an email no discord from a discord message from starship tech who said the following it's about hummingbirds because we were talking about those. So I'm behind on TMS, so I don't know if anyone else is written in, but I wanted to address the hummingbird feeders. Hummingbirds don't always need our help, but feeders support them on hot days or if the flowers they rely on for food die off.

So I guess late summer, hot temperatures, whatever. The safest mixture for hummingbirds is four parts boiling water to one part plain white granular sugar. Also, the mixture to cool to, sorry, allow the mixture to cool, the mixture to cool. completely and you can I assume so you don't want to give hot water to the birds here birds drink some boiling water yeah they're gonna go

they look like giant hornets by the way hummingbirds I don't like it they freak me out anyway I says you can store extra in the fridge for a week or up to a week red food coloring honey raw sugar stevia agave nectar and anything other than white sugar is not good for them and could make them sick or die

keep the feeder in the shade if you can and clean it with white vinegar and hot water once or twice a week. Depends on how hot it is outside. He says, fun story the other day, the mama ruby-throated hummingbird that claimed my feeder was in a wicked aerial battle with another hummingbird who was passing through. It was so bad, I had to take the feeder in for a little while to break it up. She's smart, though.

She came back to restake her territory. Love these little birds, so thanks for reading. Wow. I can't even imagine a hummingbird fight. What that would look like. Yeah. aerial attack, I guess, or whatever. Yeah, she is.

We have a couple, like, I think a committed couple of hummingbirds. And so they do a lot of error. Like, they'll sort of almost dance in the air and they'll land on taking turns with the little plastic flowers on the feet or something. Something like that. They don't, they're not fighting. They're just chilling. So I don't know if they're like, you know, bird husband, bird wife or something. I don't know what's going on there.

But we tried to take pictures the other day. They all came out blurry. and so we didn't post him anywhere. Oh, bummer. I watched, again, sat there for 10 minutes. This is how I know I'm old. I sat there and watched a Blue Jay battle over the bird feeder a few days ago. We get like a whole cluster of Blue Jays.

They're pretty, the prettiest thing birds. But man, they're not super friendly with one another when food is involved. And I've got some good bird seed with little worms in it. little, um, uh, what were those, one of those worms we, uh, like, I think in elementary school, we messed around with these worms, like little, not grubs, but like a, uh, something else, like a, yeah, a little brown segmented worms, like not, uh, not fishing worms, but something else. Pin worms? Meal worms. Meal worms. Meal worms. All right. I remember pin worms, but that was like an infection

thing or something. Yeah, you don't want those or ring worms. No, you don't want those. Yeah, this bird seed has mealworms in it. My God, it has turned my bird feeder into a furs cafeteria is what it is. Like there is, it is a constant battle for who can get something to eat at any given time. Can you eat a mealworm? Let's see. We've eaten meal. I've eaten mealworms before.

There was a Denver cookie company that had mealworm cookies that. Were they good? Was that right? I did taste them. I mean, it was chocolate. It was a chocolate chip cookie with mealworms. in it. Worm World.

That's what the place was called. I just assume not know that they're giving me a cookie with worms in it. Because then I'll just eat the cookie and go, oh, it's a good cookie. And then after you can tell me. But before, that's all, I'll think. I can't do that. I can't eat a worm. But I can't eat a worm cookie knowing there are worms in it, unless it's for the show

and we're testing it or something. Right. No, my dad took me to, I can't find, I was hoping I can find a photo of the place. But it was basically called Worm World. And it was right off of I-25 at University. right by the school and they Are they still there? They, no, it's gone, long gone.

And you could get worm like chocolate chip cookies with mealworms in it. Like, all right, I'm gonna, great, I taste the chocolate, I taste the vanilla, I taste the sugar, I don't taste the worm and I'm fine with that and now I can say I've done it.

Weird. It says you can breed them and eat them yourself here. See, it's often mistaken for an ordinary worm but is actually a darkling beetle in its larvae form. You're eating, you're eating,

Beetle babies. I'm eating beetles. Wow. Beetle babies, man. That says the adult... Beetle Bailey? You're eating the cartoon character, Beetle Bailey. Let's see.

Adult insects generally have black or dark brown color in between 1.25 centimeters and 1.8 centimeters long. The larva are about 2.5 centimeters long or a little longer. It says, great for... Let's see. They eat them a lot in Asia, blah, blah, blah, blah. Nutrients, especially protein. You get some...

Let's see. apparently these are good for you so there's a thing oh the more moisture content in a live mealworm is 62% as opposed to 5% in a dried mealworm so you they want you to eat the live ones they're better for you yeah wetter they're wetter hey wetter is better Brian wetter is better my moist mealworm yum yum yum put those in my body can't do it it's got to be got to be baked gross which dries what sadly dries it out that's right And I'm still not eating it. No, still not.

It's time for the news right now. Your Tuesday edition of the news is brought to you by. Homemade egg bite cupcakes. Oh, yeah.

So here's this thing Kim did. So she got eggs, obviously. Yeah. We like the farm fresh-looking orang-y ones, you know. Sure. A little fatter, a little bigger. And you just take a cupcake sheet and you put these eggs in there. Yep. And she'll pull a little bit of – I can't remember what she put it in there.

Some onions and a little bit of cheese probably. Yeah. What are the ones that taste like onions, but they're stringy? Scalions or green onions. What's a shallot? a shallot is a isn't a shallot like a little stubbier smaller onion shit

I can't remember I'm thinking I think I might be getting scallions and shallots confused shallot scallions are the long green and white onions okay and so a shallot is like a

shallot is like a little stubbier onion yeah okay now I don't know which one it is it's stringy so it must be the it might be the green I mean if it was green then it's either green onions well see it's not they're white that's what's weird oh could be the white well could be are they circular no they're it's almost like like diced no they're they're like long I don't know how to describe these almost like worms they're long I mean I mean the pieces that you had in your egg bites yeah that's what I'm saying they're long and stringing they're like baked in there that way oh really yeah and I can't think of what the hell there was a green onion or a scallion, yeah. And it's not just regular onions, Chad.

It's something else. Anyway, she could tell me. But anyway, we had those in there and then, you know, pepper and this kind of stuff. Yeah. And they're amazing. And they come in that perfect little cupcake shape. You put it on a plate, put a little hot sauce or get some kimchi on there, whatever you've got to do. And now you've got a whole tray of those all week.

Pop them out, quick breakfast item or make a little bagel sandwich with one or something like that. Highly, highly recommend it. Yeah, anytime I do, anytime I'm suveting a steak or suveting meat, the next morning I leave the suvied water going. I basically get it up early, start the suvied water, get it up to temperature. And then we have a little plastic silicon tray that I make egg bites in. And if they stay, I don't know, they're, they don't dry out in the suvied like they do in the oven for me. So I prefer the suvied ones. but yeah, I'll make a whole like nine or ten of them

and the little, it's a little suvied grid that you put egg bites in. Yeah, best ramen egg I ever had was in a suede. It was so good. Oh, really? Oh, yeah, sure, for the soft boil and keep the yolk nice and runny. Yeah, I don't know if that's how they do it in the best restaurants or whatever, but I always wondered how they made those seem more befitting. Because it's easier to do it suvied-wise and get the right.

temperature to cook the whites thoroughly and leave the yolk than it is to try and boil it because you've got to know your timing perfectly for the for uh yeah you might be thinking of leaks is what hobbs dog is saying are they leaks i don't think they were leaks but now i'm annoyed i'm a text kim during the song break or something i'll say what the hell are those damned onions called because it's going to drive me up a tree it's none of these names i don't know what name she gave it but they taste like onions you can also you can also check you can pickle them They're not chives. You can pickle those, though.

Chives are the thing I ate when I would get grounded and was kicked out of the kitchen when I was a kid. You'd go out of the garden and eat chives. Yeah, we had a rock garden and all that grew in there. It was just a garden full of flowers and stuff, but my mom grew chives out there. And me and my brother Matt thought it was hilarious, even though now it seems so stupid. But she'd say, out of the kitchen, you're grounded. You can't come in here until you do your chores or whatever. We go outside, pull some of those out, eat some chives, like weird little onion kids.

It's weird. It's definitely that a pear onions. I'm going to find out, you guys. It's none of these things you're mentioning. Sure. I just don't know what it is. A pearl onions is what Hobbsdog meant, but, um, but, yeah, those, those are much better for a gimlet.

Yeah. Yeah, Pearl onions, I don't like eating those. They're, they have a, I don't know how to explain it. They have a 1970s onion vibe to them. They totally do. Because yeah, you get the little tiny pickled while I need to plop them in a, plop them in a, uh, yeah, it's not my favorite thing. No. I've had better things in my life.

Yeah. Although I will say what's going on 2024, the cucumbers just every day, there's a batch like six new ones. I don't know what's going on. And we still have buds. Do we have still have buds that aren't even like forming yet? And maybe we're going to have cucumbers until the end of time. So what Kim's been doing? pickling them. Oh, every day. So she'll take him in. This morning, she took three new, four new ones in, whatever, sliced it all up, put it in the quick pickle mix that she's been making. And I've already got pickles for later. It's fantastic. Fantastic. Yeah, I could eat those all day. Let's go to Georgia. We talked about Georgia briefly. We're going to go there again. The Georgia mayor or a mayor mayor in Georgia has now facing felony charges after investigators say he stashed alcohol in a ditch. for prisoners. Nice. That's awfully nice of him, but bad mayor, bad. Thomas Mayor, or Thompson Mayor, Benjamin Benji

Carey Cranford. That is a southern-ass name right there. No kidding. Look at all the names in that name. Yeah, whereas Thompson is probably, I don't know where that is, somewhere small town. Indicted on Wednesday and arrested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Agency faces felony charges of furnishing prohibited items. to inmates in an attempt to commit a felony.

The indictment issued Wednesday in McDuffey County Superior Court. Yep. Yep, McDuffie. Says the 52-year-old Cranford drove to a store on June 3rd, bought a bottle of Seagram's extra-dye gin. Seagrams Extra Dry Gym. Oh, man. It should have been a felony for just buying the Seagram's extra dry gin. Is Seagram's gross?

not a good gen i'm not a fan no give me uh give me uh bomb bay sapphire and oh he cut out again are you back really oh you're back fine like i saw my light was green the whole time so i don't know like i don't think it's internet it's like a weird glitchy sound it's like a little it's like yeah but i mean yeah i mean at least the microphone to the mix of the mixer to discord all of that's working because my thing ring was green no no idea. I don't know what's causing that. Let's see. Where were we here? Oh. No, I don't like Seagrams. Give me, give me bomb-based Sapphire. Give me a tancre may be in a pinch, but Breckenridge makes a good gin. But, you know. Fellow wow players, didn't Seagrams used to own the company that owned Blizzard before Activision bought

them? There's some story with that. Really? Yeah, I can't remember what the deal was. I can't remember the name of the company, because my brain's not working right. But there was a time where Seagram's was the parent company that owned the French subsidiary something named thing. And they owned Blizzard until Activision bought Blizzard. Gosh, dang it. Not Vivendi. Was it Vivendi? It might have been now that you say it. It was Vivendi. That's it. And I think Seagram's either owned Vivendi or it was some kind of offshoot or it was shared in some weird way and I remember thinking that was so odd

that a drink slash food company would have anything to do with video games. It's very weird. All right. Where the hell were we, Brian? Oh, the Seagram's extra dry gin. Left it for the prisoners. That's right.

The claim he gave alcohol to the inmates. Let's see. Agents arrested him after a city council meeting led him away in handcuffs. He did not answer questions from reporters. after he was released on bail for $5,000. Yeah, I think he's, it sounds like a little side gig to me, you know. They're still investigating, but my guess is he's, he's up to some, he's up to some scrum there.

Yeah, yeah, bad guy. Did the, you know, so they found it, did they find it as the, the, the, uh, were crew was sitting there like, oh, Jen, and they're passing it around. Oh, it's just, uh, left here. Did they, I guess they, they must have seen that he actually bought it. Yeah, they don't get. into any of that. They just say he left it. So if he's got some deal going internally with the prison or like, I don't know how this stuff works. You're always hearing about people flying stuff in over like with drones or dropping with drones or yeah. Walking in there with a balloon up your butt or whatever. I don't know how. I don't know how that stuff goes. Prison contraband. How does it work? I don't know. Somebody write in. Let us know. Yeah, let us know. Um, here's a fun one.

Pindamonium hits Paris. The pin trading market after the Olympics and during the Olympics was pretty insane, I guess. And you've been a pin guy before. You've done some of that. I've done Disney pin trading. Yeah. Like you, um, you know, it's a good way to get some cool Marvel superhero pins. Mm-hmm.

Um, BlizzCon. I did the pin trading stuff there. You get a, you know, get a few of the, uh, the BlizzCon pins. And then you find people are like, I've got an extra of this one. Sylvannis. Do you want to trade? Yeah, sure. Yeah, why not? Now I want to offload all of those.

All of them. You should. I wonder if you should do them all at once or figure out which ones are worth the most and do those separate. I mean, I just do each one and put them up for a buck each on eBay and whatever they sell for, they sell for. And I'm not going to be like, oh, this gold one's worth like eight bucks.

So I'm going to make it start a date. I'm just like, no, if they go for a buck each, whatever, fine. I don't care. I just want them. I just want to clear amount. Are there, so there's none of those that are worth like hundreds or anything, right? There might be. Some of those gold ones, the second series gold ones might be because they were a little bit

more rare. Let's see. eBay, BlizzCon Series 2. Let's see here. I'm curious. Curious what that crap goes for. Probably not in the hundreds, but certainly in the, the tens and 20s. 40 bucks, yeah.

Yeah, that would make sense. I know that's, I mean, without a blizzcon every year to sort of recharge that. I don't know how hot that. Alex Draza for 20 bucks. And that's not even the gold one. That's the regular. Which might be rare. Death Wing, 20 bucks.

Geez, the dragons are going for money. Yeah. Yep. 15 for a gold one there. 3450 for Mercy. gold, it looks like. Mercy. Oh, from Overwatch. Yeah. Overwatch, gold version, $239

or best offer. Holy shit. 239 for tracer, a gold tracer. I wonder if you have that one? Do you have gold tracer? I'm pretty sure I do. Let's see here. It would be over there. I don't want to go rummaging through it. If there's some of that are worth hundreds, you might want a piecemeal, some of them.

Maybe I do. Well, I'm in a piecemeal, all of them. I'm not going to sell them as like one, one lot. I'll do individual. Oh, just let them max out wherever they maxed. Let them, exactly. Let them go up as high as they go. 39.95 for, let's see. 49 for a color version of tracer. I mean, I know I've got a couple of color tracers.

298 for another gold tracer. Jeez, tracer. Making the cast. $2.49. Okay, apparently Tracer is the, is the rare one. Interesting. Are these the pins before she changed her butt? Remember that whole controversy?

There was a whole butt controversy. Maybe that's why they're worth more. Maybe. This is before they got, before they went woke and changed her butt. Right. Yeah, and Luke Skywalker, it's definitely a good point. The asking prices and selling price, but it's certainly something you can look at as an asking price. Sorry, here's one that was a, um, 80 bucks for a, uh, a gold.

That one sold for 80 bucks, gold tracer, 30 bucks for a gold pin, kalethos. I'm sorry, kilthas. Calthas. Pin calthalthas. Pin calthas. Pin calhthas. Uh, tells you how much I know about that particular character. Um, Alex Strah is a 6850 it sold for. These are completed auctions, blizzcon pins.

Um, 62.50 for a gold, uh, gold, uh, gold. Tracer, 2018. You might do all right. I might do all right, yeah. Yeah, this might add up, I'm thinking. Yeah. I'd love it. I'd love it if, yeah.

So maybe I will take a look at what they sold for and adjust my numbers up from there. Make money and get rid of them. I like that combo. 6250 for a Norse, I'm sorry, Nosdormu. Neurzdom, yeah. But that was Series 9, and I don't think I won. I went to BlizzCon that year, because that does not look familiar to me. What year again? 2019?

It doesn't say what year. It's just Series 9, so I don't know what year Series 9 was released. Interesting. Does it show him with his, is he in dragon form, or is he got the time things on his shoulders? Yeah, he's standing there with his. Does he have the time shoulder things with the sand in him? Can you tell? I can't tell. Because those would make it worth more money because he doesn't have those anymore.

Oh, really? Yeah. That's old Nort knows Dormu. Interesting. Okay. Let's see. Let's see if I can pull it up here.

I can't believe I even remember that. I'm pretty impressed, actually. I think it's the end of Cataclysm where he lost it? I can't remember. Here, I'll just show you. I'll just copy the image and put it in our thing. It does not look like I don't see little hourglasses on his shoulders. Oh, yeah.

It's the one that would be behind him there. Still, that's good. And that's what the gold ones look like. Yeah. Yeah, I might think you're... The first series or two where they had the gold, it was just flat. It was a gold pin, but it was flat with indentations. And then they started sculpting the gold ones to actually have curves and depth and all that sort of thing.

They look so much better. Yeah. More of a relief, I guess. Yeah, right, exactly. That's pretty cool. I think you're going to make a bunch of extra cash just for no reason. That's awesome. For no reason.

The reason is I've been sitting on these stupid pins and, well, sin I've really been sitting on them, folks. But holding on to them ever since and, yeah, sure. Just want to clear them out. Well, apparently it's a huge thing with the Paris Olympics, yeah. So if you're like a, you know, collector of sorts or whatever, it's a big deal. On the other side of the Atlantic from Wall Street, a market more wholesome than cutthroat has sprung up at the Olympics and beyond. The commodity at the center of it all pins, influx of collectors from all over the world, showed up at the city, each eager to begin

to expand their Olympic pin collection and share their stories. Here's a quote that I absolutely hate. People are wired to trade. Human beings we want to trade, asserts Craig Robbins, a passionate pin collector from L.A. In life, you cannot, if you cannot exchange, you die.

Okay. Well, um... Hate it. Hey it. Have you boil it down to exchanging for food or water, sure, but... I hate it. I hate it. I hate the way that guy talks. It's insane. It's another French pin collector

was noted to say, you can really feel the craze this year. The craze. The craze. The pin craze. Yeah, I don't want to be around your pin craze. Thanks so much. All right. You know, the whole pin collecting thing at Disneyland,

you can go up to people who've got like, you know, a ton of pins all over their jackets, or they've got suspenders or something with a bunch of pins on it. We, if we're if we're trading pins, and it's really like when Tristan and Kay went with us, we're like, oh yeah, we'll get some pins, and then you can trade

them and get characters that you really like. You start off with the cheapest ones you can buy in the store, and then you take them around to all the different ride operators, but that is they are required to do whatever trade you want. So you go up to one of the people, not ride operators, but people

manning the stands and stuff. And you say, I've got this Chip from Beauty and the Beast coffee cup let me trade it for that really cool gold bonded Mickey with glowing lights and a

spinny wheel on it and stuff it's like all right here you go how do they know they have them do they have to display them or do they have to ask them? They have a display they have a display on their signs and usually by the end of the day all that's left on those trading boards are the weird

little abstract pins that just look like a square with a little Mickey in the corner or something. It's very weird man. Pin, pin trading. It's a thing. It's a threat. Get out there. Yeah. Yeah. If you don't trade, you die. Yeah, you die. That's what I've heard from a guy from L.A.

All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, Bill Duran will be joining us. We'll talk about the world of Mekens. And that'll be right after this break with this song. Brian, what do we have? Sure. We've got, I can't remember if we've ever played this guy before. The guy's name is Andre Como, C-E-A-U-A-U-C-M-E-E-A-U. sure that's how it's pronounced uh dropped an album at the top of this month uh august second called portrait this is one of the singles from that album it's called love like poison this guy's really great here is andrew camel

Proper nouns and adjectives refer to a specific person, place, thing, or quality. This learning is great. More, more education. This isn't as asinine as I thought. I don't use the word assonine enough. I feel like we need to bring that back. Yeah. That's a previous generation thing.

Brian, tell me who that was one more time so I can write it down. Sure. That's Andrew Comeo, Camel, Camu, pronounced it. I think now six different times. C-O-M-E-A-U from his brand-new album Portrait. That's a song called Love Like Poison. big thanks to the O'Donnell Media Group for sending this one over. Oh, Rosie

O'Donnell? Chris O'Donnell? Yeah, probably no relation to any of them. Usually, you know, these days I get everything digitally. Ten years ago when I was getting music, especially for Coverville and, like, labels would just say, here is all of our new, you know, the CDs

from all of the bands on our label that have covers on them. But this is, I wanted to show this one because this is a, like, this box I just got the other day and it is for a band called I have to open the box to see it is a band

called convenience so in it I've got a letter talking about you know asking them asking me to play their songs I've got a t-shirt which I'll have to give away because it's medium but it's a cool logo and stuff print on it

a copy of the single on CD, a copy of the album, two copies, or I'm sorry, a copy of their previous album, a photo headshot of the band, a full-length poster, and a one sheet that's got like articles about the band and what they've done. This is what I used to get all the time from bands when, you know, in the early days of coverville when bands would send me their stuff. They were still sending desks and stuff, yeah. Yeah, and this cost them $11.60.

to send versus if they send me an email it's just as likely that I'm going to play their song. Hey, you know what? Thank you for the t-shirt. Sure. Sure, why not? Oh, they send you shirts and stuff. That's cool. Yeah, the big old medium t-shirt. Maybe I cut out when I was showing that or something. That's great.

I want a return to physical shit in my house. No, I don't. I want to get rid of it. What am I saying? What are you saying? Yeah, I don't even know why I said that. None of us do. No, that's a terrible, terrible thing to say. What is wrong with you? What's the matter with you all of a sudden? Unless you're Brian Dunaway, you want all the physical things you can get.

He loves that stuff. He can't get enough. All right, Bill Duran incoming, and we're going to talk to him as soon as I hit this. There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill? There's nothing wrong. This guy can't fix and or create. It's Bill Duran, everybody, from Punish Props.com, joining us like he does. Once a month here on a Tuesday.

It's good to have you here, man. How's it going? Good to be here. We put that to the test last night. So, DragonCon is this week. We fly out Thursday. Oh, right. Wow.

Yeah, I'm kidding. That means Brittany and I have been hustling to finish our Balders Gate three costumes. Brittany's been making her carlack. She's got a few videos out on that already on her wig and horns and a tail. She made a tail. Nice. I'm working on Gail. Oh, Gail.

The guy left at camp all the time. He never left camp. Yeah. But time's a little short. And last night, a water pipe burst in our basement. Oh, shit. It burst. That means you had some flooding?

Yeah, I put a video up on Twitter. Oh, I got to go look at that. You want a great visual. We've handled it. We got it taken care of. Yeah. But it was a bit extra excitement that we were not planning for. Oh, yeah, here we go.

Oh, that's a pain in the ass. This gives me nightmares, because I had this last year. It was outdoor, but we still had a total nightmare scenario from it. It sucks so bad. I hate plumbing. I hate it. Yeah. Yeah.

There's a video of it. There's my fix. Oh, my gosh. It's gushing all over your shop. Yeah. Where do you get these links? Give me a link. I want to see a link.

Oh, you're not seeing it. Sorry. Hold on. So. It's up on the stream. Hold on. So I don't know if my laser cutter still works or not. We'll have to check, but it definitely got a shower.

Damn, dude. So anything that you can say got busted or ruined or you got to replace? Other than the pipes, obviously. The laser cutter is the only thing I'm worried about. Everything else is off the floor. Damn. Anyway. How'd you know it happened?

Did you come down there and just hear it or see it? Or like, what was the thing? Here's the thing. We just spent the last four days on the, Pacific Coast with my family and I'm really glad that didn't happen four days ago because that would have been running for four days oh shit so it fortunately we got home yesterday and sometime between when we got home and about 830 at night that thing went and the uh the sinks stopped working that's that was my first sign oh yeah that would tell you something's wrong if your sinks not

working yeah either somebody has turned off the water yeah that's the trick about the someone in the chat mentioned serious water bill i mean that's the thing that killed us we ended up spending like i don't know an extra grand for water until we found out i think in your case you probably caught it sooner because ours was just dumping into the earth for hours and days and yeah this was probably running for an hour or two which is still going to still going to cost us but not that bad damn and they'll be able to this is good though because you can leave and know that you caught a you caught it early and that's good. Yeah. But also hopefully they've looked

at what makes stuff tick and then while you're gone, you're not going to come home and find another nightmare. That would be bad. Right. And my landlord, so we rent this place. My landlord's on the case too. So we'll be gone for Dragon Khan at the end of the week and they've got some work to do. Yeah. He can come check

on it. It's his house anyway. He has a bit of an incentive. Yeah. So yeah. He's on the case. Lots of fun. All right. Well, besides that natural disaster what else is going on over there so i got a new video up on our channel for my gale costume i did the whole whole costume in uh one video and uh it was fun but it's a little different than most of my other costumes gale doesn't have a lick of armor on him

okay all sewing oh wow okay yeah so and i and i've so i've been sewing actually quite a bit this year and uh i uh have a new machine and everything but it was a it was not a beginner project i'll tell you that i was curious you two of you ever do any sewing did you ever learn how to use a sewing machine i'd learn how to do just like fix a button with a needle and thread that's as far as i've ever got that's that's the extent for me as well yeah did uh did you take a home act in high school yeah and that's that was it oh well it was a great way to meet women yeah because it was Me and I was the only dude in the class. Nice.

Yeah, I remember doing some stuff with the sewing machine there. My mom had one, so it was always like around and doing things. And my wife and my daughters are all big-time sewers, Carter's making, sewing something, I think, for her or Alicia, or anyway. She's doing something. She's doing that. Yeah, she's also doing that. So she's got skills in that department. I just never beyond like, oh, this button fell off.

How do you put it on? Well, you take the thread and you do this. That's as far as I ever got. But look at you, a true cloth wizard, right? I know, right? So I took Homek, but also my mom taught me how to sew when I was a kid. I wanted to make Halloween costumes, and she still has it. This old singer sewing machine, this antique, and it runs great still.

So I learned on that. And then in Homek, we made like, I remember, I made like a monkey pillow and some other stuff. And then nowadays, I'm making full on wizard robes. Wait, is a monkey pillow, a pillow for a monkey or a pillow that looks like a monkey? A pillow shaped like a monkey. Yeah, a monkey-shaped pillow. Okay. Just clearing that up.

I want to make sure I understood. So I wanted to make this Gail's robe. It's the character select screen version of him. And I went on Etsy and I looked up like Gail robe pattern. And there was more than one for options. Wow. It really kind of blows me away the state of things now that you can go on Etsy and and look for a character-specific pattern like that.

Yeah. And not only that, it was 15 bucks. Jeez. What a deal. Yeah, plus it's Gail. Wow. He sucks. I'm just kidding.

I kid. I joke. He's fine. I don't know who any of these people are. I love, some people love Gail. And I'm, he just, in my, my play-through, he just was this guy at camp who was constantly saying, look, if you don't give me magic shit, I'm going to explode. That was his whole job.

And it's fine. Whatever. Gale. Gail for life. Let me ask you a question real quick. Sorry, before I forget, these days in 2024, if someone says to you, I want to get into sewing and I need a machine, do you recommend something? Do you have something you think is like the best out there right now, like a machine or a brand? I'm on my third sewing machine.

I got a cheap. Don't get the cheapest one. Getting an older machine, the problem is you may have to service it. in some way, but older machines are really, really good. I have a genome. I think it's the HD-1000. It was two or three hundred bucks, and so it's considered heavy duty,

although it's, I've pushed into its limits. I like that one a lot. People seem to like the brother sewing machines, but I haven't tried those myself. Brother like the printer typewriter people? Oh, wow. Oh, yeah.

And then I have a sale right, which I can absolutely recommend if you have a spare $1,300. sitting around it's really really good how tempted do you just make wallets all the time do you probably just like man i just want to make a wallet today you ever do that it's really it's really satisfied the sale right that i have will sew through damn near anything including like multiple layers of leather yeah it would have no problems sewing together a lot uh a wallet yeah although my wallet got drenched yesterday so maybe i do need a new oh no wait where was your

wallet yeah where was your wallet i got i so i ran to the wall to try and stop the leak of Of course, I got drenched from head to toe. Oh, man, I wish you had a little security camera in there. I really do, too. I wish I could see it pop open. And then me, me, like, desperately and ineffectively trying to stop the leak with my hands. Yeah, I do wish I had footage of that. A little Lucy, the chocolates going down the conveyor belt kind of situation is what I'm visualizing.

Sure, sure. So anyway, I bought this pattern, and it saved me days of work, trying to pattern. it myself. I made a mock-up, so I had lots of spare scrap plastic from old projects. So I cut out and sewed together the main body portion so I could try it on before committing to the fabric I purchased for the costume. That worked out really great. The pattern worked right as printed. I didn't have to modify it all. Again, 15 bucks. If you're thinking about sewing and you've got a character, just go out and see and look for the pattern. Because the odds are someone's got it and it's going to save you a ton of time yeah and money 15's nothing that's amazing

oh yeah yeah so you're i notice you're doing oh your mom helped you with the her did she yeah that's amazing oh yeah oh there you are dude look at you are gale as hell i'm giving you i know right i'm going to give you three uh green items to shut you up for the next uh 12 quest because i'm tired of your your nuke option is just killing me so okay so the belt the back thing and the and the wrists that's not leather that's like some kind of um what is that what's that's a vinyl it's a faux leather vinyl it looks great leather kind of thing yeah yeah yeah exactly believe it or not that I already had that so I have three different colors of faux leather downstairs from

past projects it's pretty handy yeah we um so anyway the sewing mostly went according to plan the the pattern was such a huge help I did spend a little time with my seam ripper that just that's gonna happen gonna happen I uh but it Great. And then the last few bits, I purchased some pants and a shirt. But I also got that sweet wig you saw. Yeah. Yeah.

My mom helped me style that thumbnail. I haven't gotten to that point in the video yet. It's super cute. I'm looking at the cool little 3D printed little medallions up there at the top. Yeah. So he's got these decorative medallion bangle things. And then two of them are actual closures for the robe. And I 3D modeled those so that they could hold neodymium magnets.

And that's how they snap together. yeah pretty proud of how that's this the is this the first time mother duran has made an appearance on one of your videos probably that's kind of great that's great little legacy here look at her you get along with her she's a retired art teacher oh no way oh that's right your parents are both teachers and oh yeah are retired now but yeah no that's awesome but look at her she's like I don't know I feel like that that's a person that knows what they're doing with a wig you know I mean she yeah but she cut my hair growing up so she knows what she's yeah that's always great too you know i still have never paid for a haircut because my mom my wife my kids and then uh i had a

roommate once did it and then a girlfriend but i've never paid for a real haircut which probably probably is obvious uh well that's great air brushing cool oh the um the grid yeah oh nice yeah and then uh the the the wig worked great that was like twenty three dollars on amazon i steamed it and shaped it and everything and then the last the last little little bit there. Gail does not have quite the amount of gray in his beard as I do. So I found some Just For Men, have every beard

dye. And I'll tell you what, it takes the years right off. Yeah. Yeah. Sure does. I'm looking at it. I've talked about on this show that I use the just for men's beard shampoo. Just to keep this looking the same color, I'm pointing my

beard for those listening, just to keep my beard looking the same color as my mustache. So my mustache is about 50-50 salt and pepper yeah beard is like 80% salt 20% pepper so I use just enough of the the shampoo to keep them both equal and parity sure that's good

Some Clark Kent business going on with those two. Exactly.

Ooh, speaking of which, you see that trailer for the documentary about Christopher Reeves? Yes, the Christopher Reeves one. That looked great. Yeah. It made me a little teary that thing, the trailer. Yeah. They caught me. What?

You were laughing at something. What you're laughing at? I'm sorry. Gidey shared a photo of me with hair. Oh, let's take a look. It's the, it's really, it's just, but I don't know where this whole thing comes from. Where is this like, this, uh, let's see. Like this whole Imger link with the, oh, me and the hat and like back into his left, back into his left.

Yeah, who did this? Who's responsible for this? Oh, they're claiming that the hair on my chin. Oh, this is Diamond Club. I can tell because of the two, the Diamond Club symbol on my lapels. It's got to be. Yeah, that's it. What else?

Let's see. Why is, what's his name? Oh, because it says anal behind his head. All right. Yeah, Jericho. That's really weird. Bizar. What a bizarre.

are a thing. Yeah. How'd you find that, Jeannie? How'd you know about that? That's wild. Yeah. All right.

How do I bury that? Yeah. How do you eliminate this from the internet forever? Yeah. I don't care. It can be up there. Where's your chicken gift?

Do anyone ever find that? I know. Yeah. I miss, what's his face that created that too? Croft. E. David Croft. Was his name?

E. David Croft. Is that who it was? Yeah, that name I've heard a long time. Oh, yeah. We should mention Bella. Justin Robert Young and Ashley had their kid. Yes. Oh, my God.

That photo of jury holding Bella is just adorable. Yeah, super cute. He's, he's, I talked to him a little bit last night. They're obviously very busy trying to, you know, be parents now. But he, here's a quick shot of it. There it is. Yeah, she was born. She's a little tiny thing.

She's cute as a button. Here's a picture of her. Whoops. by herself Let's see Oh look at that I can see Justin's face That's what's funny

Yeah I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing But here you go chat You guys can see it Here you go Brian I'll put it in here She is adorable And that happened really fast

I feel like the nine months Went real quick for them Oh sweet Yeah she's a sweetie Congratulations though She's definitely got his upper lip and chin You see it? I can totally see it.

I do see it. I totally see it. Well, that's awesome. Jury spawn. That's right. His sperm took purchase. All right. That is it for today.

Let's get out of here. Frogpants.com slash TMS is our website. So if you're looking for whatever you're looking for, you'll find it there. Brian, let's play a song and get out. I'm fine with that, with that plan. This is, boy, this one took some work, by the way. Hey, Scott and Brian, August 27th marks my wife's and my 19th wedding anniversary. I'm continuously amazed by her, and I'm lucky to call her my wife.

In honor of our anniversary, I'd like for you to find a cover of our wedding song, Amazed by Lone Star. But before you do that, can you check the ship's phasers? Oh my gosh, we can always check the fit ship's phasers if I can just get to the right thing to do it. Here it is. Let's test the ship's phasers. Nice. All done.

Nicely done. So this is going out to Jason, aka Big Shackalaka. I search for a ton of covers of the song Amazed. And they're all, it's a country song, Lone Star, being a country band. But I wanted to find a version that was outside of that. And I'm actually happy with what I found in its own sense, standing alone, not just because it's different from the country version, but because if I were to hear this one, I would have, I would not have said, oh, I think this is probably originally a country song. So that's, for those of you shouting in all caps about country music in the chat, for example, rest assured, this will not. Oh, there he went again.

Do you guys hear how it starts? You do you see what I'm saying when Brian disappears? It's like this weird. I can't explain it. And it's the same every time. It's never different. It goes, it goes click, click, click, and then. Weird.

And then back. I can't, I don't know what. Nobody else is doing this. So I can't, I have no good standard. We don't know where to start. So if anyone out, there's an expert that understands how that might be happening either on my and Brian's end, in between, Discord. It's probably, it's got to be in between.

Because when it's an audio issue, I hear what's going on as it's being sent to Discord. So it's got to be something like from Discord up. Something like that. I just don't know what would do it. And I can't duplicate it anywhere else. So if anyone out there smart enough, like you're like, I work at Cisco and we deal with packet clarity all the time or whatever. I don't care who you are, right in. We'll take your advice.

Tell us a setting we can put on in Discord to keep this. from happening. Yeah. But anyway, not a country song. Not a country song. Bailey Rushlow is who released this in 2021. It's an acoustic version, and she's just got some beautiful vocals on this. Here is Amazed, originally by Lone Star, but covered by Bailey Rushlow. That's going to do it for us. We'll see you tomorrow for a Wednesday edition of TMS. Every time I ask me, this feeling inside of me is almost more than I can take.
