Swiss watch or a woman from anywhere. You ever had a good Swiss watch? Doesn't anybody in this town like to swing? The morning stream. Two weeks. There's no such thing as two weeks in the news business. Hello everyone and welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for April 3rd, 2025.

I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Hi, Brian. Well, hello, Scott. Do you have that thing where you hear, you just hear his voice and you go, he's not coming to Vegas and I'm sad, you know? Oh, Scott Fletcher, totally.

Every single time. It's, uh, because I want an update on our three wackadoos that they, the three women and the dude, I guess it's four whackadoos that they use for all the plaza advertising, because every year I get an update on, well, Billy Romano was just released from jail, and that's where he got that brand new finger tattoo and da-da-da-da. Yeah, how are we going to get our updates? It's going to be sad.

No, it's not fair. We're all shit out of luck. That's apparently the thing. And a note that for those wondering why he's not there. It's not that he didn't want to come. He did, of course. but his daughter's graduating, a big graduation from college. So, you know, family first thing does.

Whatever. Like, that's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Come on. Yeah. What about the next four years? What are you going to do then? Exactly. Take a quick flight out on a Tuesday. Come back that night and you're fine.

You're there the whole rest of the time. What's the deal? Yeah, what's the hold-up, buddy? Anyway, we'll miss it. You've got to go to my nephew's graduation in May, I found out. and it's right in the middle of a week. You know, aren't they supposed to hold these things on weekends so people can, so it's easier for people to attend and not miss their nine to five day jobs?

Is it a college one or a high school one? High school ones, I think they do that because I actually asked the same question because when Carter graduated, it was like on a Tuesday, which I thought was really jacked. And the lady there said they do that, they stagger it because they are just so many kids and the one, the venue they were using for these mass graduations, they had to fight over all the schools, get which one gets it on what day and stuff. Yeah. So I think that's it for that. College, I think you'd probably be safer for weekends, if I had to guess. But yeah, but yeah, I didn't enjoy that at all. I did not like the high school graduation. The last one I've been to was Carter's and I hated it. It was an awful experience. Nick skipped his, graduated, but skipped his because he was, he hates the, or the, the pomp of it all. It's not a fan. Hates the pump and the circumstance and the circumstance. Not a fan of that at all.

So you got the F out of there. I, in high school, you know, you thought, I don't know, you, you think it's cool while it's happening. And just about a minute after it's over, you're like, what was that online for? What do we do that? What do we sit there for four hours for? Yeah. Yeah. Why do we have to learn 318 other kids' names just to see the one that we care about?

Yeah. I mean, I know the idea is to ingratiate everybody to everybody and have somebody speak and go, Oh, that was a lovely speech by valedictorian Larry Bird or whoever was. I don't know, man. I just think they're kind of boring. But I look forward to you going because maybe you'll get a story. They always help the show. I'm sure there'll be a story.

Yeah, it'll be with Tina's mom. And this is Tina's brothers, kids. One of his kids is graduating. So we're going to be traveling from, we're going to be driving from Denver to Kansas City with Tina's mom. and uh go chiefs there'll be a story they'll definitely be a story yeah how far how long of a drive is that at normal speed um seven eight hours i think well that's a long that's a long time your mother-in-law in the car isn't it it is a long time yeah and uh no stops in hayes kansas unfortunately but uh i mean we could see steve and cleo while we're in kansas city but we're going to see them the week

before in uh Vegas anyway it's a week after Vegas yeah good point yeah we're already gonna you're gonna all the Kansas City you want already in Vegas. I get it. We won't need any more Cleo and Steve. No, I'm kidding. Yeah, we might hook up with them for lunch or something. We skirted the draft again, right? The NFL already happened, didn't it? The NFL draft. Did that already happen or is it still happening? No, it's going to happen. It always happens right around the time that we do TMS, Vegas, and that's why we have to kind of make sure that it's not happening in Vegas, and then we move things. but I want to say it's late April. Okay.

So I think it might be the weekend before then or something. Yeah, I guess we can find out. We have the Internet. Saturday, April 26. It is the Saturday before things start, and it's going to be in Wisconsin, at Lambeau Field. That's where the frozen tundra right there.

That's right. Cheeseheads and whatnot down there. That's right. Yeah, no, that's great. I love it when we miss that. James after John Lambeau, the guy who saved so many people's lives in First Blood Part 1.

Yeah, Lambo. Lambo 2 is my favorite of all the Lambo movies. Anyway, it's us. It's a Thursday. We've got stuff to talk about. I got to tell you about a funny random actor sighting.

I'm having this experience with background watching with the Andy Griffith show. Oh, yeah, okay. Or it's just back there running. It reminds me of being a kid on a, you know, after school and run reruns or whatever. And I'm always surprised.

I've seen Jed Clampett, Epson on there. I've seen the skipper from Gilligan's Island. Oh, really? Alan Hill Junior. Junior, yeah. Junior, I can't remember. Junior, I think. And he was prior to the Gilligan's Island show, so it was kind of proto. But he basically

acts exactly the same. He's like the skipper. He even calls Don Nott's little buddy at one point. Really? Yeah. Sherwood Schwartz is saying, hmm. Yeah. I have an idea. Island, castaways. Ding.

I found my skipper. So here's the cool thing. I've got to blow this up and pull it out. But that sounds terrible. Hello. That sounded really bad. Oh, that's Bill Bixby right there. Yeah, see, I knew you'd recognize him immediately.

Absolutely. Brian and I, it's impossible not to notice Bill Bixby because we grew up with Incredible Hulk and stuff. We grew up with two things, two big things for us, were my favorite Martian reruns and Incredible Hulk. Oh, right. I don't know if I've ever seen the favorite Martian show reruns ever. I don't think I ever saw it. Really? Oh, my gosh.

They're great. Freaking Ray Walsden, who looks the same age in those old TV shows as he did in Fast Times of Ridgemont High. Yeah, that dude never changed. He looked the same. He never changed. At the age of 25, he looked like he was 60 already. But, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, Life of Eddie's father.

See, that was the thing I never watched was Life of Eddie's father. Oh, geez, he got around. I didn't know what that way. I don't even know what that is. I didn't heard of that. Yeah, Bill makes me. was all over a television in the in the 50s and 60s yeah well he is all over this episode he's basically this young punk kid of a very rich businessman who lives in whatever main city maybury's

date is i don't know what mayberry state is it is Tennessee i think so it's kentucky is it it might be Tennessee or sorry is it kentucky whatever it is his dad's some big shot in the big city and he gets pulled over by Don Knott's in Carolina that's right North Carolina okay he gets pulled over by Don Knott's and uh and freaking Andy Griffith because they're out there doing patrol or whatever and they stop him and he's a big snoot snoot going my dad'll get me out of here no time you guys are the worst why don't we just take care of this now he pulls out money to like pay off Andy and Andy's not having it he's not a he's not a corrupt cop he's not going to do that so anyway he's I didn't know it was him at first because he's so young here that I was like

who the hell is this guy and then I hear this line. You think you can butter me up, make me feel real good, and I'll ask my dad to go easy on you. Well, it won't work, so just forget it. Wouldn't like me when I'm angry kind of moment. Totally that wouldn't like me when I'm angry voice. Yeah.

You know, you look at him and if we didn't get him as David Banner, because they were worried about the name Bruce, whatever. It's a gay name back then. So weird. So dumb. if we wouldn't have gotten him as our banner, he would have been a great Peter Parker if you look at him right there in that photo.

Like that is the Steve Ditko Peter Parker look right there. You know what? Perfect. I mean, they weren't doing anything good with comics back then. If they were, it would have been great. That's a good call. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he was an interesting episode. And of course, by the end,

he had had a turn of change of heart and saw Andy's way and became a better person before he left me there yeah uh anyway that was a lot of fun just wanted to share that we got a message from simon in the u k oh cool that just feels like the perfect name for a guy in the uk isn't it simon simon simon hello he says this is simon from the uk i was listening to episode 2775 where lucky phil came in and you basically said how north and south are something we made up i'm meaning like you know humans said what's north what's yeah like all the stuff we do he says come As a question mark, we base our directions on the plane of the solar system.

All planets orbit on a similar plane. As to how we pick which is north and which is south, I don't know, probably racism. That's great. I love that. Yeah, I mean, where did those, was it Latin that Norte ensued or? The law firm of Norte ensued? I have no idea. Norte ensued.

I mean, the Latin names, I think it's Latin. Was it Greek? I can't remember, but... Sounds right, sure. Yeah. But at the end of the day, if you go back far enough, then you could say, well, it's based... Let's say your answer is, well, they based it on the planes of the universe or whatever

of the galaxy. Then you say, oh, okay, but how do they get to the planes? Well, they interpreted that by this. Well, how'd they name that? Well, it was the Greek or Latin root this. Well, what was Greek or Latin? Well, that was a mess... That was a thing that came from the Mesopotamia.

You could go all the way back, and at the end of the... And at the end of the day, it's still us trying to describe our world. And to Bobby's point, which I think he may have touched on this. We were talking mostly about time. But I think we touched on this a little bit. It doesn't matter. It is what we call it. Yes, it's all arbitrary, but it's arbitrary because that's what we have.

We don't, there is nobody handed us a script and said, your planet will recognize longitude and latitude. Like, they didn't do that. We did it. Right. Right. But yeah, and Dr. Calhoun points out, and we should make sure we say this, is that it's not just the planes of the planets, it's also the center points by which we rotate, around which the Earth rotates. Right. Once you get to the North and South Poles, you can say, okay, these are the fixed points that the rest of, you know, the Earth rotates around.

So this should be a pole, and this should be a pole. What should we call them? Fred Nethel. oh i like that fred nethle larry and joe yeah fred nethle fred nethle be amazing they're underrated by the way fred mertz underrated they are no kidding i agree that guy was like 38 in that show he looked 72 he looked older now it's so weird it's crazy anyway thank you simon and uh it's a good point everything's everything is made up but it's also made up for a reason and we and we try to get there through logical means like you mentioned the axis of the planets and the moon and all that

we don't we don't just go out and go well yeah we used to though we go out and go yeah ah the eye of sarons looking at whatever the equivalent I mean well you know until until we figured out that the sun was the center of everything it was you know the earth was the center and everything

rotated around the earth so yeah you know what what things do we think now that in a hundred years 200 years a thousand years like we're going to live that long like people are going to be around on this planet. Sure feels like we want.

I think this mold of humanity is not going to be eradicated from this rock. I don't think Mother Earth's got... You know what things... Yeah. Go ahead. I was going to say, I don't think Mother Earth has the patience for us anymore.

No, I don't think so either. I think we're going too far too fast with stuff that is... I don't know. Because she don't care, dude. This planet can go on. Oh, Mother Nature's got... She's got another plan, and guess what? Her plan is

going to win our over our planet oh yeah you could do tornadoes every three or four inches she doesn't care it's only going to affect us right yeah the rock keeps spinning it's still hanging out and it's doing what it does the sun can go away all these parts we could all get sucked into a giant super black hole turned into tiny particles uh and stretch ourselves through all of time they don't care why why why why would nature care it doesn't care we're just we're just flies on the back of a freaking giant toad zero zero f's that's right keep that in mind everybody keep that in mind so when people start talking all high and mighty about how awesome they are remind them yeah you're a speck of dust exactly exactly like carl sagan's tiny blue dot tiny

no one knows you can barely see it you get out into the bigger piece of space earth doesn't even exist really not in the large scheme of things so so take take uh comfort in that you're here at all got lucky. Exactly. Yes. Anyway, back to the internet. DC Dark Legion got a message here. This is based on your conversation about that.

This is an anonymous message. It says, the person says, Oh, this is me talking. This is, oh, I wrote this so that I could, uh, yeah, it's, it's not, um, my bad. It's Brian had it. I typed it. My bad. I didn't see a name, so I assumed it was.

We cared from last, from yesterday. Yeah, I just wanted to talk about this thing because we touched on it very briefly yesterday. even post show we touched on it very briefly but I've been playing this mobile game cover here's Stephanie called DC Dark Legion kind of help me

take my mind off of other crap going on right now but it's a blast it's a little bit fallout shelter it's a little bit Marvel Strike Force Avengers Alliance that sort of thing you've got DC characters like your like your Superman

and your Batman and your Wonder Woman and your Green Lantern and everybody. Like, you know, get this whole long list of everybody. You collect them, battle them against each other, earn tokens that you spend on widgets that you save up to buy bozoinkuses and trade those bozoinkuses in for mystery vials or whatever. I mean, it's, you know, it's that kind of game.

It's your typical, like, um we've come up with our own economy with 18 different methods of transfer yeah all those currencies it's just got you 101 but if you like those games it sounds like it's pretty good it's actually it's really fun and there is some strategy involved with um characters and character placement and and things like that i've started a frogpence league on there we got a couple frog padd poolers in there already um and it's on server earth 301 so if you start the game um um immediately switch your server to Earth 301 and then look for the Frog Pants League. And by joining, you get a whole crap ton of goodies.

And again, fake pieces of money in this fake silly economy thing that they've got in here. A bunch of made-up currencies that don't even exist in the comics. So there you go. Pretty much. But the first week you play, you're going to get about 25 to 30 different heroes. So, you know, it's that initial rush of, here's all the characters you need for the game. Is it, if they made it clear yet,

who the real rare ones are that you're trying to hunt down? Oh, totally. Yeah, the ones with the red backgrounds. And, of course, it's all the ones you want the most. It's Batman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern. It's your ones that have a red background, Deadshot, Raven. Okay.

So some JLA, JLA adjacent, Big Big Big. names in there. Teen Titans. Really, Raven is the only Teen Titan in this thing. There's not even Kid Flash or Beast Boy. Oh, no, there's a Nightwing. So, okay, Nightwing you've got. Beast Boy will come later, I guess. I'm sure Beast. Beast Boy has to be on the list. Starfire. Give me some Starfire.

Some hot Starfire action. Are they going to do all stuff? Like, here's the Silver Age version of Batman versus here's the modern one or whatever. You do battle against some of these alternate versions like there's a Batman, there's a Bruce Wayne called The Devastator from another universe that I'm sure came from the comics. It's a spiky head one, the metal one. Metal, is that the guy? Oh, well, there's one that's like he looks like a rock. He looks like the doomsday version of Bruce Wayne, if that makes sense.

Like big and rocky, spiky. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, no, the one I'm thinking of, he's thinner. he looks a little like the Joker Oh, oh, oh, gotcha. Yeah, he's metal meaning metal music. Like, he looks like a rock star kind of. Yes.

Yeah, with like the thing over his eyes. I forgot the run, but it was a Scott Snyder run. It was very good. People really liked it. Yeah, you're right. The band over his eyes had spikes on the eyes. It was very cool run. So Devastator came out in 2017, Dark Knight's Metal.

That's it. That's more recent. That's this one that's all spiky, though. that looks like he's made out of rock and stuff. Here, I'll put it in our Discord. Oh, maybe I'm thinking, I cannot remember. You might be, like, but I know who you're talking about. There was a Joker that looked like that, right?

With like the punk, metal punk looking. Yeah, but he was kind of Joker, half Joker, half Batman. For Joker, I mean, yeah. Scott Snyder, Metal Batman. Let's see if I can find this. It was called. Oh, yeah, now I know the one you're talking about, Dark Knight's Metal, where he's actually.

like elemental metal yeah yeah uh the one i'm thinking of is just called batman metal and this is him there here you go he looks like this oh yeah yeah that's right i want to collect that shit that's what i want around his uh around his face i want him can i get him it's damn creepy it's a really cool run that whole read is so good really yeah uh the new absolute's really good too i wouldn't mind that being in there so that they have an opportunity here obviously to do a bunch of alts and stuff so absolutely they're doing it over in marvel snap with captain carter and and all the different uh alternate heroes and stuff like that so

i assume that these guys will do it too yeah batman beyond and uh maybe i mean i i guess the question is art style wise will they get crazy or not probably not too crazy sure probably not yeah well here you go then anyway it's fun dc dark legion available for android an iOS, and it's a lot of fun. Earth 301, if you want to join the Frog Pants League. Earth 301, that's correct. We'll be in there today. You know, we didn't mention it, but Val Kilmer passed away.

I know. That was a huge bummer. And I had just seen, I don't know, week and a half ago, we watched Tombstone. It's easy to forget how freaking good his role is in that. I was going to say, we could talk about our favorite Val Kilmer movie, but I think that's just it for me. I can't think of another one that I prefer more. Top secret for me. My favorite non-police squad Zucker Brothers movie.

I love that one. I do too. It's underrated. It's forgotten just because it's so, I don't know, because it kind of doesn't follow that police squad series. And so people like, yeah, whatever, what's that? I don't know. Pretty sure it's first time I saw him because I hadn't even seen real genius at that point.

I did later. Oh, really? I think Real Genius was the first place I saw him. And you can't not love Real Genius. Didn't we watch that for something, didn't we? I think we film. I may have mixed it up. Maybe it was a tadpour thing.

I'm mixing those up a lot lately. I can't help it. I know. You and me both. And when we did the thing with Nicole, where we drew cards and then we had to pick a movie to watch that week based on those cards. Oh, right. Remember that?

Oh, yeah. That's how Recommendals was back. in the day, right? Right. For a while? Exactly, yeah. Yeah, we had those. I have the box of cards over there, but it was like,

okay, we need a documentary about that features a bunny or a rom-com that includes a where a knife plays a big part or something like that. It's like yesterday in our film set group, Randy, goes, we need to see Willow, and I, and immediately my brain went. No, we saw this.

We did this. And then I went and looked it up and I was like, oh, no, this was a couch party. Duh. D. I do it again, though. I like him in that. It's fine. Yeah. It's not his best movie. If we're looking for his best movie, it's not. Well, I'm not saying best. And it's certainly sackable, Willow is. But man, if it's between the two, between Willow and Tombstone, I'd rather watch Tombstone. Oh, and a heartbeat, I'd rather watch Tombstone. I'll watch it. And I just watched it. I'm ready to do it again. Let's go. Really? Wow. Okay. That would be the one I'd be worried about. I was like, well, you just watched it. I love that movie. I used to watch that on repeat when it was on VHS. And then later, DVD. I mean, it's one of my favorite movies, so I would be all in on Tombstone if we can convince the other two. You know, Brian Dunaway will do whatever. He's the most easy going. My goal in life is to somehow, at some point, make Brian Denoway yell at me for something. I don't think I've ever had him yell at me. I've had him disagree with me, but never yell.

I don't think he knows how. I don't think he knows. So nobody out there take advantage of Brian dinner where we're going to come after you all right that's right exactly me and brian only scott and i could try to make him yell at us don't any of you try to make him exactly we're his friends he'll understand you no don't do it no he's a nice kind human being one of the few left we need to cherish him uh what else oh uh brian we got spots left in the video game tourney tell people how to get in there yeah i just heard from uh chuck this morning he said there are two just two spots left in the video game tournament. I don't have the

little arcade cabinet next to me, but this thing is going to be gorgeous. It is the best looking trophy we've ever done for the video game tournament. It glows, and it's incredibly sharp and cool looking, and it's going to have cool artwork all around it from Scott, but you're still going to see light through it. It's going to be very Tron looking, and it's going to be

awesome. Quick reminder, don't play Brian and Tron while you're there. he'll kick your ass he's so you were so good at tron it was embarrassing I'll never do that again it's because I still remember you know what did it was remembering the um

the patterns for light cycles that was all that it really was yeah but even with janky controls you did it's true in that yeah he just nailed and the thing with needed maintenance and Brian still beat me freaking that was the

that was the quickest I ever fell out of the tournament was that year two years ago I know I know they should never put the two of us against each other in the first round. No, no. People. The opposite sides of the bracket.

Yes. Yeah, get us in the end. If we had a final game with the two of us, that's amazing. Oh, I wouldn't want that because I'd prefer it over earlier is all I'm saying. You know what I mean? Yes, okay. That's true. That's true.

But I, but yes, I would rather. But I'd rather have tadpullers in the end. Yeah, yeah. And they usually do. So it's all good. Right. Right. So two more slots, guys.

Get in there at TMS. Yeah. And we've also got a Marvel Snap tournament that we're going to be doing it. doing at the same time it's actually going to be going on at the same time as the board game board game of paloosa in the uh the ballroom um which means that you know after after you're done playing a game of secret hitler you can play a game of marvel snap move through the bracket and be done for a little while but if you're not coming to tms vgas and you still want to participate there is a link in the discord just go to the area that's got all the um the meetups right so

the las vegas meet up but you'll right in that area you'll see marvel snap tournament sign up there. It's free. Who knows who you'll play against, but you will be contacted via Discord when is your turn to play and who you're playing against. Nice. Nice. So you'll get your code that way of like, okay, friendly match against Bruce Owensso. Might be me. Yeah, it could be you. Who likely will be toward the end. I'm guessing you're one of the better players in our group. Who knows? I think there's some good players out there. Well, speaking of players who are people who may not be there, but we'd participate in such things. Swag-only option going up soon.

I got all the budget crap worked out, I believe. I'm going to do a quick double-check of stuff today. But sometime today or tomorrow, you'll see pop-up on the store the swag-only option. For those that want this cool challenge coin, by the way, we dodged a serious bullet with those challenge coins. Really? Because when we ordered them, you know, I was told the price. It all fit.

Worked with the budget. No problem. They're coming out of China. China. Okay. Oh, China. Yeah. There is now a roughly 54% if you pile all the tariff crap together based on yesterday's new announcements that it's something like that. It's above 50% or 49, 8%, whatever it is, somewhere in that range. I was going to have to eat so much cash. If those had shipped one week later with the tariffs, you would have had to, oh, my God. Thank goodness. So they're here. I almost feel like going upstairs and sitting on them. You have them in hand. Oh, good. They're here. They're here.

So I would, if I could, I'd go sit on them like eggs and protect them with my life because it feels like I got lucky and nobody come near them. Anyway, so that's good news because we're not raising any prices on any of you. No tariffs for the community from us. But yeah, we're going to, we'll have that up soon and you'll be able to get the whole smear shipped directly to you if you want them. I know I know man

sucks we didn't vote for this dumpster fire folks I know I voted for that dumpster fire I voted for the nice black lady that's who I voted for exactly for the intelligent nice black lady that's right for the wonderful way better than any of this shit

all right exactly yeah all right let's get to some news oh go ahead before we get news um because we don't have windy day and we've got uh a call now segment or or an answer now we probably should give people enough warning now to let them start getting stuff for us to respond to for that sake. Yeah, and it will be real time as well. So if we're saying something in that where you people want to go like, oh, I have an answer what are you saying

right now? Well, it's in constant refresh or we'll be able to get your latest is the idea. So yes, twofold. Go there now to voicecast.com app slash TMS. If you've got stuff you want to ask today, you can do it either text or voice form. We'll play them in real time

without any knowledge of what you're saying. Don't say anything rude. 30 second limit, Claire. Keep it short. All right. I'll see the timer on it. I know how long they are before I plan. And we'll do them in real time based on what you send today.

And then if we're saying stuff that you want to respond to right then, we'll be checking for those as well. So it'll be like slightly delayed real-time calls. The old way of me trying to manage it all through Discord is a huge pain of my arse. So we're going to try this instead today and see how it goes. because Wendy is not here today. Wendy is in, she's basically in catch-up mode because, you know,

she came here and that screwed up her schedule real bad. So now she's trying to get everything caught up and had to take a day. And I don't blame her one bit. Nope, not at all. I had a correction call from Clary yesterday, correction voicemail or discord message. And she completed the correction in the first 20 seconds of the recording

and then proceeded to continue with the, yeah, so just wanted to tell you that. And, yeah, that's, well, pretty much all I wanted to tell you. And what's by, oh, 56, 57, 58, 59, click. Nice. It's like the filibuster. It's the filibuster, exactly. By the way, all right, let me ask you this. I'm going to put a name in the, there you see that name there right above the news?

I do. How would you pronounce that name? Nadine. Yeah, that's how I would pronounce it as well, but apparently in Pog's land, that is Nadine. Nadine, really? Nadine. Nadine. I mean, it's a much more exotic sounding when you say Nadine. It is.

We're too used to. Yeah, I'm going to tell Nadine to put that in the old outhouse. Yeah, Nadine on the center stage. Put your hands together for Nadine. Neyne. Exactly, yes. Weird. I wonder how many other names are like that, like, uh.

Do you think your name, Brian might be weird in another country? Brian. I don't know. Probably not. Brian and Scott are pretty much pronounced the same way in every other country where there is a Brian and a Scott, I believe. When I moved to Scotland, you guys got to let me in for free because my name is Scott. Right, exactly. When I moved to Brian, Lund, I want that same deal.

Where do you think the most concentration, well, you know what your heritage is, so is there a lot of... Yeah, England would probably be the highest concentration of Brian. Lots of brines. Okay. I was curious about that. Scott, I actually don't know with Scott. I think that's just my mom naming me a thing that has nothing to do with my Swedish background. I think she just was like... You could have easily been a Billy since their bookcases are named Billy. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I could have an Allen wrench with me at all times. That'd be great. That's right. Yes. All right. Well, we're going to get to some news. We're going to inform as well as entertain. So sit back and enjoy the news. It's brought to you by. Oh, Coverville today at noon, Mountain Time, Twitch.tv.tv slash Coverville, if you want to listen.

And you do, because Black Francis, or Frank Black, turns 60 this week. He goes by both names. He's also the front man of a band called The Pixies. And so you're going to hear all your favorites. Monkey Gone to Heaven. Here comes your man. Wave of mutilation, gigantic, tame. A couple covers by Frank Black, including one of the.

Beach Boys, of all things. Wow. Which one? Which Beach Boy? Would I know them? Hold on to your ego, which was, so when the Beach Boys came out with Pet Sounds, which is not just the best Beach Boys album, but one of the greatest albums of all time. I would put it in the top 10 greatest albums of all time, Pet Sounds. What's a big one?

There was a song called, I Know There's an Answer, written by Brian Wilson, and very, very optimistic sounding tune, great lyrics. He did an alternate version where instead of, I know there's an answer, he does, hang on to your ego. And it's like a whole different song. Frank Black covered the alternate version,

the Hang On to Your Ego song. But it uses the same melody, just different lyrics. That's awesome. Yeah. I didn't know that at all. I know that song, but I didn't know there was an alternate version of that. Yeah, yeah. I like the, personally, I prefer the I know there's an answer version, but of course, it's kind of cool when, when you know, you know somebody really likes a band when they cover a deep cut by that band or B-side or an alternate version or something like that. So Frank Black clearly a beach boy's fan. If I'm in front of my slightly racist mother-in-law, I'm going to refer to him as Black Francis because her name is Francis.

Oh, yeah, sure. I think that'd be a fun little juxtaposition for her. her and say, yeah, absolutely. Hey, how do you like, you like Black Francis? And she would just, I know the face she'd make it me, just saying that unseen. Just like, two words in the same sentence. Yeah. She's not like raging racist, but she's got that kind of, ooh, racist. Yeah. You know. Anyway. But anyway, that's Coverville at noon today. I will be playing, oh, I don't know what my new, there's a new, a whole new, um, in-game event. So we'll be playing with the brand new Captain Carter card and maybe maybe the other new card

who is it it is shoot I can't remember but there's another new card that works well with Captain Carter so it might be a that might be the game today get in there and get your get your snap on get your snap on first story here babysitter

checking for monsters you know we're trying to help the kid feel okay about there's nothing under your bed let's check for monsters read you a story tuck you in okay I'll check under the bed for monsters. She found a dude in there. Oh my God. She found a man hiding under

the bed. This is the worst idea ever. A babysitter in Kansas found a troubling surprise after a child she was watching complained that there was a monster hiding under the bed. The babysitter found a man under the child's bed after they attempted to show the children there was nothing under there.

The Barton County Sheriff's Officer said, or office said in a statement on Wednesday. Quote, she came face to face with a male suspect who was hiding there, says the sheriff. good lord um sheriff's deputies arrived on the home but i don't need to read that uh they were called about this disturbance excuse me the babysitter told the deputies that when the man was discovered there was an altercation i would think so and there would be yeah he's not going to say well crap you found me all right you're it and then runs yeah yeah exactly i don't think it would work

that way the babysitter and child were knocked over during the scuffle and the suspect fled following day deputy spotted the man while they were in the area looking for the suspect he ran after a short pursuit the deputies did catch him Martin Villobos Jr. age 27 was arrested and booked in the Barton County Jail on multiple charges including aggravated kidnapping and child endangerment sheriff's office said Villanobos is being held on 500 grand bond that's a pretty penny yeah no kidding he has to see get out of this one via Lobos

I don't think he's, I think he's screwed. Martin Wolf House. Yeah, he's hosed. He's done. Don't be doing that. But they didn't get to motive here. Like, we don't know if he was, like some kind of creepy pito guy. We don't know if he was just a drunk guy or trying to rob the place.

He might have done after the lights went out. We don't know what his motive was, but I hope they find out and never let him near anyone again. That guy's weird. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Our next story starts with the line. I promise I don't gravitate toward these things, people, okay? I promise it's not a goal of mine to find stories like this.

Okay, sure. It really isn't. I'm just looking, I'm looking for stuff that, you know, that might entertain as well as informed. Anyway, this headline starts with, quote, it's a lot of pee, unquote. Man has no idea who is putting gallons of urine in his recycling bin or why. Also, recycling bin. Yeah, unless you're Kevin Costner at the beginning of the water world, you were not recycling pee. No.

No, and in that case, it's what, like a little tomato plant or whatever the hell he had? Right, yeah. There ain't no recycling. No, no, no, no. There's two kinds of fruit you don't ever eat. Kevin Costner's tomato plant. So that is a fruit. Don't eat that.

And then whatever was growing in the tree at the end of Furiosa, I won't spoil it. Whatever, whatever that fruit was. Like, she took it in and gave it to some of those many mothers, and I thought, all right, in that world, maybe this makes sense. But in any other world, you don't want to give people fruit made out of that. It's been fertilized by that, you know? Sure. Yeah. I just watched it again.

I love that movie. Gosh, dang it. It's so good, dude. This fruit tastes Australia. Is it Thursday? I need fruit on Thursday. All right. I hope that didn't spoil it for anyone who hadn't seen it.

No, I don't think so. A man. It's been over a year. People can see this. That's right. Our two weeks are up. All right. Also, it's on Netflix right now or Max.

Both of them have Furiosa. And even if you saw it in theaters and you were so overwhelmed by it that you felt like maybe you didn't quite get it, even I, who was ready for everything and loved it in theaters, my second and third viewing have been glorious. I like it even more now. like it so much that I'm I rolled right into Fury Road of course this last watch yeah and I'm ready to go again that's how much I enjoyed it all they need to make more of these what I really want is for George Miller to strike a deal with like some prestige studio HBO or whoever can do it till Zazlov to keep his hands off it and do prestige television anthology series every season is a

different side story in the world of of Mad Max. And tell me more of these stories. Have more history man, history woman stories, these apocryphal tales, and just give me some amazing. You got to have a good budget.

You got to have the right people in charge. But I believe in them and I think it can be done. All right. He's not going to live forever. You're not going to have George Miller filming these for the rest, you know,

for in his 90s. It's not going to happen. That's right. So do this. Closer and closer to that Alien Earth series. Yeah. Josh Holly. Yeah, Josh Holly series.

so excited. Taking a break from the old Fargo and doing that. I think it's... Oh, the summer. Sorry. July? 20 summer. Okay.

Is it July or am I thinking later than that? I'm looking to see... Could have sworn I heard July, but maybe not. Right now people are just, right now everything's just saying the summer of 2025, but... I'm so ready, dude. Yeah. I cannot wait for that. You people don't even know.

No, you and me both. This is the whole, all you had to do, like, if you were telling me there was an aliens show coming and I didn't know Josh Holly was in charge, I wouldn't probably wouldn't care that much. Noah, Noah, why do I see, keep saying Josh? Oh, he's the freaking, he's the shitty senator. Yeah, don't say Josh Holly. He's a bad, he's the bad Holly. He's a piece of shit. I don't like him at all.

Yeah, no, sorry. Wait, is it Josh? No, it's Noah. Noah. Noah, Holly, taking a Fargo break. He's so good. Oh, my gosh. I can't wait.

Anyway, a man living in Portland, Oregon. Yeah, lots of being your recycling bin. That's where we started this train. We got people in Oregon, listeners in Oregon. Tell us what you think. This Oregon neighborhood is wondering who is putting gallons of urine in this recycling bin. And why? Alex Van Duen, doing, doing, doing, doing.

I don't know. Sorry, I was pulling up the indie. Alex van Duing. Doin. Probably not. It's probably. Silent Y. Geez, which letter would be silent?

D-U-Y-N, folks. Here, you tell us. Alex Van Dune, and the guy on YouTube won't have an answer for us. I believe this is a sad day. You are looking today at the name, the last name of a man who discover P. Yeah. In fact, have been done? Done?

Is it just done? Claire says done, and the easiest way to avoid a correction is just to go with whatever Claire says. It may be wrong, but if you're not. But if you go with what Claire says, you eliminate a 60-second correction call. Maybe it's Irish origin or something. I don't know. It seems like one of those weird Celtic-looking deals. Yeah, it totally does, yeah.

My wife, this is funny. My wife, the other night, Kimberly Johnson was in bed with me, and she was on her phone. And I suddenly hear that guy going, what we do? Really? And I went. What are you looking? at over there and she signs me her phone and it's him doing one of those cooking things he does oh the things that's not a pronunciation yeah but he talks exactly the same he's still like that weird

and it really threw me off and she goes why is this familiar to you and I go he's this guy that brian and I always run into and we're trying to find a pronunciation on the show and he has this very popular YouTube channel where it's just him saying how words are said and also all this filler of him going hello instead of just saying it you know what I mean she thought that was she thought that was great

she wrote down something he made she wants to make or something I don't know really yeah we'll try it let you guys know what we think of it sounds good but we have no idea how to pronounce it we have to look it up we have to hear him do it well anyway so he goes to this blue bin he noticed that they didn't collect his recycling so he goes to the thing

opens it up lo and behold there was a nice deposit, a gallon-sized bottle of urine, or multiples of those. To put it plainly, there were six of them, he says. The rectangular hauler refused to take the bin's contents because urine is a biohazard. I mean, duh. How did the recycling hauler know that it was urine? They had to go, oh, someone's not getting enough iron. Yeah.

I mean, there's only two ways to do it. One is just assume it is, like this is yellow liquid. Because of the color, sure. Yeah, or the other way is to smell it, I guess. I mean, that's gross. Yeah, maybe just, you know, maybe somebody wasn't super careful and something got on the outside and you could just smell it in the bin. It's like, oh, that's pee, move on. Oh, yeah.

I remember when I was younger learning for the first time that pee wasn't from your stomach and colon and all that. I mean, it was from your bladder, but it was from your blood. I didn't I didn't realize it was just filtered water It's faintly yellows because if you dilute You know the what they use blood cells and stuff enough Then the uh yeah then it starts looking yellow Yeah that's something like that yeah and I didn't I didn't know that when I was younger When someone told me that I did not believe them for a long time I was like that sounds crazy

Are you telling me I got I got pee in my blood like it it just didn't compute until later and And I realized, oh, there is science here. I probably could have looked that up when I was a kid. Freak me out, though. Anyway, the mystery man did not stop, kept dropping off these bottles, just kept showing up. And so he stopped putting his bins out on the curb, hoping the guy would quit.

And he did, but he moved on to the neighbor. So the neighbor now is starting to get that. He just now is putting his peabotles in the neighbors. He's just going to make his way down the street. Yep. And he says what I would think, which is this. He says, I don't know, there's a quote, I don't know why he's hitting the same location so many times.

That doesn't make sense to me or why he's doing it. Yeah. Why would it, what is it you're doing? Yeah. Because it's, it's, it's not like it's somebody who's living in a park nearby or something like that. It is somebody who was driving there, putting the pee bottles in the bin and then driving away. Yeah. I would ask, where are the cameras?

Has anyone got one? No one's filming this, first of all. Second of all, it may just, somebody's literally taking the piss. Somebody is pulling a joke. here right now i've watched uh trailer park boys and there's a concept in trailer park boys called piss jugs where the what they'll do uh what's his name um ricky's dad will pee in a bunch of jugs and then when someone's coming to take over their part of the junkyard or something they'll throw them like bombs so they'll throw piss jugs at the opposition to keep to keep them away so there's a

There's a concept there, but I don't think this is that. I don't know what this is. It's pretty nuts. But, of course, this got shared on Nextdoor. People have opinions and theories. Nobody knows who's doing it or why. So there you go. See, that was an important news story there for everybody.

It was. Absolutely. It got us places. Claire, I don't want to give all the attention to Claire in today's episode, but she says, I'm just surprised yous have recycling. Why? like us in America that we have recycling

the stereotypes I get it kind of like we do for Russia we need a band to shoot our guns at we need us a blue target to shoot our guns at yeah it's easy to it's easy to go overboard over there just like it's easy for us to go overboard about the Irish and the lucky charms

and the wait a minute your kitchen faucets don't just pour out straight grain alcohol wow what weird it would be chin coming out of your faucet You're not, it's not just Lucky Charms everywhere. It's drink. Yeah. All that drinking, you do. Yeah.

I was going to say, what was I going to say? I don't remember now. Yeah. Oh. Portland, Oregon is a very liberal area. That is, if there's going to be recycling, it's going to be in Portlandia. Oh, hell yeah. It's all over the place, obviously, but, but there's no, there's, the people in Portland will

definitely use those blue bins for, for recycling. Yeah. in this house my wife and daughter are hardcore they'll go like if I put a if I put a can like an aluminum can in the wrong thing they come after me I'm in trouble yeah better good yeah because sometimes I'll forget

which ones the ones up there are kind of hard to tell the difference between so sometimes I'm just absent minded and I toss it in there and if Carter sees that I'm lucky to be alive honestly because she'll kill you she'll she'll cut a bitch as they say I don't blame her yeah same here yeah we're like

that when like Tina and our boat We even, you know, if we get something from, like a take-home box, right, from a restaurant, after we eat the food in there, if it's cardboard, then we actually rinse out the cardboard before we put in the bin because food waste is bad in the recycling. Like, we're pretty hardcore. And when Tristan and Kay come over, they drop their Dutch brothers plastic cups in the trash. We're like, hey! Dude, Dutch Brothers is about the only coffee I've tasted that I actually kind of like, just side-knit.

Yeah, because it's a milkshake restaurant disguised as a coffee shop. You're not wrong. You're not wrong. It's very like. So damn good. Yeah. Like who is it? KT. Data.

Kevin is a hardcore black coffee guy. Oh, really? I didn't know this, but we were talking about it at dinner the other night. And just likes to take it black like Tom Merritt does. Same thing. I can't do it. I can't straight black coffee. I couldn't, I don't, it's no way.

Too bitter for me. And he's like, I think it was Chuck who said it's the essence of life or something. I'm like, no, it's like dirt, hot dirt, water. Bad. Can't do it. Yeah. All right. Well, that's going to do it for all those.

We're going to come back in a minute with this call now, voicemails and text read in real time. Yeah, that's right. You heard me. Head on over to voicecast. Dot app slash TMS to let yourself be heard today. We'll answer any of your questions unless you're being a dick, and then we won't. That's just your standard warning. Before that, though, a song that Brian brought from his vast collection of music.

What are we playing? Yeah, we're going to an artist called, or she performs under Daughter of Swords. This is a North Carolina, so close to Mayberry, a singer-songwriter named Alex Sazermanning. They've also released music with bands Mountain Man and the A's. Their solo debut, which was called Dawnbreaker, was a folk record that was released in 2019. But this is a little bit more, more pop-y, alternative-y, indie, which is perfect, obviously, for the middle of the deal here. Again, coming from the upcoming album, Alex, here is Daughter of Swords and Talk to You. Smile so big, that your eyes can go back in your face.

celery. And we're back. Who was that again? That was Daughter of Swords from the album Alex, the upcoming album, Alex, and a song called, Oh, no, let's see, April 11th. Yeah, it comes out April 11th on Psychic Hotline Records. So get it next week, but that is the song, Talk to You. It's like eight, nine days is all or something.

Week from tomorrow. Week from tomorrow. pick up the full album but this is so good I'm really liking it and she likes cats because she's got a picture of a cat next door this was this was a one I had to get used to

because her pronouns are she and they so she goes by she but not her she goes by they what's that how's that work or why is that the people who say genuine their album comes out you know as opposed to her album you say

their album comes out on this day but She has recorded new songs for it. But why, I guess what I'm asking is why, why that distinction if the she... Right, why not is she and her or are they and them? Yeah, because I thought the her and she were the interchangeable use cases for whatever the context of the sentence was. So I don't get that one. That's a different one. I'll say that.

Right, right. And it makes it harder for me to remember all this shit. I'm trying. I am. I'm trying. It's hard. Well, Stephanie says it's she, her, and they. them. No, I would disagree. Here, I will

screenshot this this opening thing to give to Scott to put on the screen. You can see that, oh, it's just saying that either is okay. Is that what that means? Wouldn't they say that?

Okay, here it is. Daughter, sword, solo project, North Carolina, and Alex, they slash she, who's also created so is the she implied that her is always available too like it's just built in and they and them is built in you know what I mean yeah so basically I mean Talley Tally is absolutely correct she says no just listen to the just listen to the effing trans person it's we're overthinking it it just means not him don't use the pronoun him you can use they them she her but not him yeah but I understand Talley I get it but I'm telling you when I'm in a conversation with somebody I want to say it right and I'm If it's vague like this, I'm going to get tripped up, all right? Sure. That's just how it's going to go.

Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay, somebody said it was short form earlier, and I didn't understand what you meant. Okay, so short form just basically means she, her, and they them. So for short form, they just do. Okay. Got it. Yeah, I didn't understand. You guys were saying short form.

I didn't understand what you meant by short form, short form. I've never been given a form that was short that they're all too long. It's all long form. It's all long form for me. me. My colonoscopy, long form, dentist, long form, always long form. Thank you for educating us. This is how we, this is how we learn. Yeah, we don't know. We don't know. That's why we're here. All right. Let's do the call now that we mentioned. I forgot to open it. I'm going to open it now. Here we go.

Oh, man, a bunch of new messages. Oh, good. Let's play this one. This looks like it's from Lydia. I'll see what Lydia has to say. Here we go. Whoops. There we go. Hi, Brian. This is Lydia and John Bauer in Arizona right now. We're wondering if you heard about the Beatles audition tape discovered in Vancouver record store. Check it out. I'm sure this is on your daily music headlines. This was, this I think was a top headline that day because, yeah, this dude, oh my God, this is so cool. This dude runs this independent record store in Vancouver.

And he gets, you know, people dropping stuff off all the time, giving it to him. to either check it out or sell or whatever and he bought a box that contained a bunch of reel to reels. One of them said Beatles demos in 1960s. And so we thought, all right, well, it's just like a copy of some Beatles demo recordings like they had on the anthology

CDs that came out in the 90s. Okay. He finally gets around to listening to it last week, puts it on the old reel to reel, winds it through, hits play and realizes it is not Beatles demos, It is the Beatles audition tape for Decker Records back in 1962 before they signed with Parlophone and George Martin.

Deca passed. Deca said, yeah, not for us. Dip shits. Those guys are dipshits. Yep. Stupid, man. Don't, don't. Oh, there was your one chance.

Exactly. Oh, poor Decker records. But, yeah, so this is like a 15-song audition. And the dude's been nice enough to, like, put a couple of the songs online for everybody to hear, which is very generous. Like, he could put it beyond a paywall and make a bunch of money, but he's, it doesn't sound like he's interested. He says, if Deca reached out to me, I'd sell them a copy back. But if Mr. Paul McCartney wanted this, I would be happy to personally hand it to him if he came to my shop. Oh, wow.

Yeah, yeah, that's the way. That's the way I think I'd do it, too. That's the way I would do it, too. He's like, I'd make a copy for myself. and then I'd hand the master to Sir Paul. Yeah, that makes sense. But don't give it to Ringo. No.

Would be in love. No. Actually, Ringo wouldn't have been with them, I don't think, because 62 would have still been Pete Best. Oh, I didn't realize it was that deep into it. Man, they really weren't the Beatles as the final Beatles for very long, were they? Not really. Not like most bands.

No, no. I mean, 64 to 6970, so. That's crazy. Like, I know. you think about that band and you think oh my god what a long tenure they must have had as the Beatles as you know wringo paul george john maybe it was 64 or uh 63 that ringo locked in but but still seven years where they were around and cranked out uh 12 studio 12 13 studio albums and i mean it's a hell of a body of work but it's such a brief amount of time compared to most anything else like the you know the rolling stones have lived what seven Beatles runs or something right or a visitor for that long it's crazy and they um and there's it's under 125 actual released studio songs that they that they released so obviously there's a ton more of like past masters and covers and things like that that are out there but uh yeah that's

62 there's a ringo joined in 62 so he might have been in that recording oh but um all right yeah Claire, are you our resident Beatles for sure expert? Is that what's going on with Claire? Yeah, did not know that if she was. Wow. Goodness gracious. All right. With peace and love.

Not bad for a Gen Z. Let's play this one. Oh, and I didn't even do this earlier. I meant to, but I'll do it now. We have a theme for this. Call now. There you go. They got this right here.

Let's play this one. I don't know who this is. Hi, when you started using the voicecast. dot app, I called in helping you test it and said fart gas. And you were wondering who that was. And I'm just here to tell you that my name is, wait, wait, hold on, I'm going through a tunnel.

No name? Oh. Left us. Hanging, man. They got us. Wow, nice. All right, good. All right, I'll take it.

Whatever you got. Here's one, I believe, from Claire. So this will be interesting. Is this all in caps when she says it? No free to cut it off. This is Claire, I'm talking really fast, so I don't use all the time, but have you ever tried Vietnamese coffee? Okay, love you bye. Vietnamese coffee. Oh, wow.

I'm glad you got that. That was under 10 seconds, it sounds like, well done. That was super short. That's maybe four and a half, five seconds. Use that as a template, Claire. That should be your new template. Yeah. If you can do it, then we're here for you.

I've never, no, I've never tried coffee from Vietnam. I have no idea what that's like. I've had Vietnamese coffee. And not just Vietnamese beans, but like they're Vietnamese style of coffee, which is, what are they put in it? It's like, I need to look it up. It kind of turns a little orange, if I'm remembering correctly. And chat, she says it uses condensed milk, which is effing class. Yeah.

Is that good? It's class. Condensed milk is the best. I mean, that's what you're dulcated, a little. L. H.A. and stuff like that. It's great. It'll make y'all farty, but it's good. It's good stuff. Exactly, yes. Don't give me one of those before I have to go walk the grounds at Snowbird.

Or else you're going to see me looking off at the distance at giant pictures of Steve Young as I, you know, as I leave and rejoin the group. Here's a call for our segment call now. Call now. Which is, it looks like it's Ian, because I do see their name, and I can see that it switched two questions. So let's see what he has to say. 28 seconds of Ian, I guess. It's not too long. Hey, guys, it's Ian.

Hopefully you haven't already answered this question, but are you planning on getting a Switch 2 at launch? And if you are, and you don't already have Nintendo Online Plus Expansion Pack, are you looking to upgrade, considering the free Switch 2 upgrades included with that plan now

and the GameCube games that are going to be on Switch 2? Love the show, though. It's too early for a fish sandwich? Yes, it's too early for a fish sandwich. is the second question yeah there were two questions there we already answered the second in the first case uh yes even if i there's the question if i wasn't if i didn't have core and had a need for review and all that would i be doing it and the answer is yes but maybe not as soon i would probably wait a

little bit of time but i am going to try to pre-order it as soon as i can um the wraith in the chat says wait for the switch oled switch two oled i mean that's probably coming but i i don't i'm not that But it'll probably be like 18 months down the line at the earliest, so I wouldn't do that. Yeah, and a lot more money. My guess is you're looking at $800 for the, if they end up with an OLED, it'll be around $800, $8.50. But I think I, I think I am for the show. If I wasn't, I'd probably say, may wait until Christmas or find a, you know, find an equivalent art project that will pay it out. So I don't have to, you know, budget it or whatever.

Exactly. That's kind of what I'm doing. I think of a certain project that I've coming up that's like, oh, you know, I will do that, that client's 3D modeling project and that money, boom, we'll just go right to the switch too. Yeah. And so I'm also planning on ordering at launch, but, you know, if you were to say, can you afford it right now, Brian? And be like, no, I really can't. I do not have it right now. Well, and to his other point, the Switch Online Plus expansion thing, which will now include, like he said, GameCube, they already added to that Genesis, GBA, SNS and NES are already on there. But those classic games are really important to me, so I absolutely will be doing that. And I have a feeling with the mouse control of those joycons that DS games are coming at some point.

They didn't announce it officially, but I think that those are probably. going to be on that service as well. Oh, sure. Yeah, so I am very much interested in that. Some people yesterday asked me, do you think that these are more, this is the most expensive, even with inflation,

this is the most expensive Nintendo hardware they've ever released. And they're right, it is. This is closer to like, you know, what the PlayStation 3 was at launch, things like that. And the question was, is this based on these tariffs

or anticipation of these tariffs? And I think a little bit of it is. I think Nintendo's hedging their bets a bit, and I think these are probably around 50 more than they would have normally released them for. I think they would have aimed for $3.99, $450, if I was to guess. But anyway, more on that on Coralator. But, yeah, I hope, you know, it looks great, whatever.

The Switch was a huge success. Stoked about this. You know what I'm most stoked about, Brian? All the Switch games I didn't have time to play that will be forage compatible, and I'll get to play them there. Totally. On a much bigger screen, that was the thing with, the latest Zelda, not the latest Zelda,

not the one where you actually play as Zelda, but Tears of the Kingdom. I could only play that when it was hooked up to a display because it just wasn't good enough to play it on the little tiny screen, but this is a bigger screen, higher resolution, so this one I can feel like I can play those really complex games,

and I don't mean a Plex server, I mean complex games. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Although maybe one day it'll support that too? Who knows? Yeah, I mean, you can already, is it Netflix already a thing that you can... They got games, yeah. You can do... Actually, the Switch never got Netflix. I never got Netflix? I could have sworn that was an icon for

something. No, I never did. It's weird. I think the last Netflix, official Netflix app that came to a Nintendo device was probably the Wii, maybe the Wii. I can't remember the Wii had it. But the Wii definitely did. And then they didn't, this whole generation, which to me was kind of crazy. I don't know why they didn't do it. Anyway, more here to read.

This is from, this is a text from Saznack. Okay. Which I love that name. Is that Kansas backwards? Oh. Yeah, it is. I wonder if that's what this means. It might mean that.

It says it's Nick Saznack 9. Maybe it's Kansas 9. Or is that Kansas 6 because the 9 gets back. Well, you don't, reversing the 6 doesn't turn it to a 9. You got to flip it. Yeah. Or put a line under it. so we all understand.

Hi, Scott and Brian, in reference to yesterday's episode, 2803, you were discussing the correct plural form of tortoise versus walrus. A grammatical fact is that the plural form or it says i plural form is used

with words ending in a us sound. So for example, cactus becomes cacti. It is also correct to use the normal ES though. While it is in some context, we just say things like genesis's or walruses

rarely use walrye yeah yeah octopi octopi yeah yeah a group of octobus you'll say octopi yeah i think it's just about what people normally and this is what he says at the end people are just hippopotami i guess yeah yeah hippopotam

it's not like moose right with hippopotamus you don't say that lake is full of hippopotamus oh actually would you would you say hippopotamus i don't know they have those up they have those in estes park hippopotamus is up there Not just moose. That was more of a question, but anyway.

Thank you, Nick Saznack 9. We appreciate your message. Here's one from Dr. Calhoun in audio form. Let's see what he has to say. Hello. This is, I just want to correct, fewer versus less. Fewer is if you can count it. Fewer people.

Less is if you can't count it. There is less water, less air in general most of the time when you say less you should probably be saying fewer I love the show though so like less there are there are less people in the mall than usual or there are fewer people in the mall because you could count those people so fewer you would say fewer people in the mall but you'd say there's less air in Colorado than there is in Florida because of the altitude right and that's less oxygen or right whatever, yeah. Right, but because you can't quantify that, that's why you would use that because

it's not countable, whereas you can count how many people are in the mall. Because you can count him, I guess we now have a listener named Fuhr in Prague. That's right. Hello, Fuhr. Hope you're enjoying a nice, delicious ale. Yeah, not Fuhrer. We want to make that clear. Definitely not pure. Definitely not fewer. No, no, no. Here's one from Sarah Nexus, a written one. He says, good morning, Scott and Brian, but. Love the show, though, Sean Serenix. That's it, just but. Oh, just but.

Okay. Like B-U-T-T, the double-T. Yeah, like what Nick put on the school lunchroom announcement board or whatever it was. I feel like that's maybe the reference here, but I'm not sure. So if that's what you mean, Sean, we appreciate it. Nick would be pleased with what you've done. This one's a call. Let's see what we got here.

No name on this one. Hey, Scott. I haven't heard you guys talk at all. about the new Looney Tunes movie that came out, it's awesome. You guys got to go see it. And you haven't talked at all about the movie Hundreds of Beavers, which is also just as funny as a Looney Tunes movie. Get on it.

Okay, I think he's joking because isn't that Acme thing? It just got sold. Nobody's seen it yet. It's apparently playing at the Westminster Promenade at 105 p.m. today. Which one? Hundreds of Beers. Or is or the other one? Oh, no, the day the Earth blew up, the Looney Tunes movie.

I didn't know. This is a thing? This is a thing. I didn't know it either. Yeah, it came out March 14th. I want to see this. Where can I see it? I love Looney Tunes.

Yeah. Look at that. It's reviewed well. I see Porky Pig and Daffy Duck going on, 88%. Oh, see, I thought he was talking about the Acme thing, the Will Forte movie that got canned by Zazlav. Oh, right. Yeah, no, this is the whole thing. Or Coyote versus Acme, yeah.

I want to see this. This looks great. Yeah, that looks good. Is that an avid driver? Who's in this? Who's voiced in this? Yeah. Okay, so we got, okay, for the animated one, I don't recognize any of these people.

But for, uh, Peter McNickle. Really? Are you talking about for the day the earth blew up the Linneetunes movie? Yeah, yeah, Peter, you're right. Peter McNickle, Fred, who are the rest of these people? I don't know who Lorraine. Oh, Lorraine knew. Rayne Newman from Sarnetland, Wayne Knight.

Yeah. All right. Bring it on. I'll watch this. I love Looney Tins. We know her from stuff. For me, this is mostly about how's the, how's the animation? Yeah, right.

Because that's always concerns me. It's got to look and feel like the old Looney Tune stuff. You remember how the new Charlie Brown stuff just, it just so, it feels soulless. Yeah. To the old. Yeah. At any time they try to, like, reboot. Tom and Jerry, it just didn't feel right.

Yeah. So I'm not saying they can't do it. I just need them to, you know. And then the beavers thing, what's it called hundreds of beavers? Yeah, I don't know what that is. I thought it was hundreds of beavers. Oh, we did, this is the one with shirtless guy, isn't it? No, that's a different thing.

Oh, this is the one where we talked about the poster, though, because we were talking about that old school, Jack Davis style poster. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I haven't seen this yet. Is it good? it's got 97% on rotten tomatoes it must be good oh no kidding all right uh oh i'm kind of coming around to remembering us talking about this i kind of remember the discussion but i don't i didn't rush

out to do anything is this streaming anywhere i don't know uh i can't find it i'll look for this later that sounds great okay yeah hundreds of beavers hundreds of beavers uh all right well there you go i thought you were dicking with us there caller but you weren't at all. Apparently not. Okay. Let's do a refresh. Call now.

See what we got now. Here is one from, I don't know who this says. Let's find out. Okay. Oh. My bad. It's muted for some reason. Here we go.

I was going to send a message, but this audio doesn't see. Hopefully you're playing this on the air. I think that was Monica. It was Monica. Yeah. Yeah. I think the odd. Yeah, that would sound weird.

Yeah. Here's T.B. Travis, it says in the subject, so this will be fun. Let's see what we got here. TV's Travis here. So Val Kilmer's number one role, we can agree, probably Tombstone. What would round out your top five Val Kilmer roles in movies? Okay. For me, great call.

Iceman's a big. one in your top gun I'm going to go ahead and put in there River River's Nick it's Nick but I can remember his last name in Top Secret Oh right so I can be up in there I don't know if I'd top five it it's such a unique That movie's weird because it doesn't need him for it though

You know what I mean? No but what makes him so great in it Is that he he is the straight man without being the straight man right he's this all the stuff that happens around him doesn't seem weird to him and he and he keeps the straight like he basically plays it so straight as opposed to and and come on real genius i'm going to put up in that top five as well because uh it deserves to be there but he's laughing kind of joking about the whole thing as he's doing it but in top secret i will defend the fact that he has to be the straight man in the zucker brothers movie which is tough fair point i i think saying movies instead of roles is probably a good thing to do.

If I was saying roles, I would do his Jim Morrison. I would put in heat would be in there, the character he played in heat. Oh, heat, fantastic, yeah. I probably wouldn't. I mean, the doors, the doors was good. I care so little about the doors. They're like one of my least favorite bands from that era because they, I don't know, over, yeah, over rot. Yeah, over dramatic.

Kiss Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang's great. Yeah. I don't like The Saint, but I know a lot of people really like the Saints, so I'll let the Saint happen. I just don't like it. It's not his fault. It's just a movie that puts me to sleep for some reason. I like Bombie has a really good list.

Real Genius, Top Secret, Heat, Tombstone, Top Gun. Yeah, it's not bad. I'd still put... You'd put Kiss Kiss Kiss, Kiss, Bang, instead of Top Secret. Yeah, I think I would. Yeah, I loved his role in that. You know what else he was really good in? It was TV, it was TV, though, but he was the voice of Kit on the reboot of Knight Rider, and he was the best part of it.

Like, everything else in that was okay, but Val Kilmer's kit voice really put it over. I loved it. It was great. Batman's not in there because Batman's a piece of shit movie he was in. Batman begins. Because with him, it was bad. It was because it was Brockheimer, not Brockheimer. Yeah, Nipple guy.

Schumacher. Schumacher. Yeah. Yeah, that movie is. sucked. It really sucked. It was unfortunate. Good soundtrack, but bad movie. The mama says he was very little in Top Gun, but the

times he's in Top Gun. Like when he snaps his teeth at Tom Cruise, I mean, come on. Yeah, and I loved his Maverick appearance, and what a great way to go out on that character. It was really good. Was he the hottest Batman? Sure. Sure. Like hot levels? Probably

put him up there. But it's not, he's not the problem. Batman forever it's not his it's not his mistake no that's just a piece of shit movie call now here's here's a text from red links who says hi scott and brian i'm out here in tiggered wash er organ rather tiggered that's cool i like that tiger yeah wonderful thing about tiggered yeah it is a wonderful thing that's right the best thing about it is we're hearing from this dude there anyway that's right and they just picked up my recycling no pee involved uh says my question is uh what was the first video game you ever played. The first game I ever played was

Pong. Charge the ship's phasers, says Redlinks. I think that if I am to go way back and remember, it's probably also Pong. Yeah, I think so. I mean, I'm trying to think of when when we got a Pong

hook up to the TV thing versus when I got like a Merlin or any of those little small electronic game kind of things. They'll probably be after the little handheld kind of things. Yeah, a Mattel football and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, exactly.

So, yeah, it would have been Pung for me. The first arcade game I ever played was that Space War thing where it was you versus another player. It was awesome. And it was so good, yeah. Black and white vector, right? I think. Correct.

Correct. And it was almost like a, it was the shapes of the things were almost like the enterprise versus a star destroyer from remember correctly. Yeah, it was really big. The other one was like a Star Trek, you know, round with, with nacelles on the back kind of thing. Let's see if I can find a cabinet, because I remember that being massive. It was like all, like, it came from an alien place. Like, it was all organic looking and stuff.

Here's the one I remember. It's a little more boring. Oh, that's, yep, that's it. That's it, yes. Yeah, and if you go down to the, let's get zoom, whoops, I'm going to zoom in on the controls because that's, I think, they were just buttons, right? Yeah. They were buttons that were like,

not even the regular arcade buttons. They were like a little square. Yeah. They were bad. I mean, this was early, obviously, but it felt like you were on a Star Trek console.

That thing was so big. Right. Just massive. And nothing more spacey looking than the stencil font. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that could be MASH.

That could be Space War. Who knows? Right. Right. First arcade game for me was probably space invaders in my garage, I think, when my dad first got in the business, and that was pretty awesome time to be alive. So there's that. Oh, my God. Here you go, by the way. I found, here's video of the gameplay, if you want to put

it on the show. Sure. Let's do it. There's a link right there. If you start at like 25 seconds in. Let's see. Pull it up here. Pull it over there. Oh, this screen's not right. Let me fix this real quick here. I forgot I changed Oh yeah And that little star in the middle was gravitational So you could like Rocket yourself around and stuff

All right there we go But there you go It is a star destroyer versus Versus the Enterprise Oh right And you're right about the star It had like gravity Yeah

It had some math in there to pull you I remember I was fascinated by that Because it actually pulled you toward it And it would sling you like it just did right there. Oh my gosh, the memories. Is there any audio on this? Let's see.

Yeah. Yeah, it's here. Nice move. Nice move. I know. I like the gunfire is just like you whack in somebody's butt with a wooden paddle. Oh, this game was great. Listen to a terrible sound.

The cool, like, guttural sound of the thrust is very cool. Yes. Yeah. But the shooting is shit. Yeah. Listen to that. That's great. I love that.

Oh, man. I love that game. Jeez. Face Force is great. Great question. That really got us down a hole there. All right. We got one from Dr.

Nikki, of all people. Fantastic. I can't wait to hear this. Sheep's brains. Hi, Scott and Brian. I'll try and make this quick. This is in reference to you and Bobby debating over whether time is real or not. I thought I could bring a different perspective.

of what I'm teaching my students in my comparative neuroanatomy course this semester. So we try to differentiate human intelligence from animal intelligence. And there's lots of different ways that students think that those are. I'll let you pause here to think about what makes us unique in terms of intelligence. And now you're back. So obviously, tool use is one, but other animals can use tools. And language is another, but other animals have language. The main thing that differentiates us is that we can communicate

solutions to problems to other members of our species, but specifically referring to the past and the future. One of my students' answers was, humans are more intelligent because we can build buildings. And that is kind of the answer in the sense that

we have accumulated so much knowledge over time through communication of the past and the future, that we now have enough knowledge to build buildings. If time was not real, we could not build buildings because we wouldn't be able to have all of that within one lifespan to build a building.

Does that make sense? I think so. The only question we can't answer is if dogs have brains because I like really wanted to know. That's amazing. Yeah. No, this is good. This reminds me when I was, there's a thing about mice like computer mice and how this is relatively a simple thing.

You can go buy one for as low as 20 bucks now. You know, no big deal. But what it actually represents is a mass. amount of human maybe hundreds of human years of learning like if you put a rock next to this and a mouse next to this well what's the difference well the rock one or two people could have found and saw that it had a hard edge and now you can cut leather with it the mouse took thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people over a span of time building on top of what had already been done looking toward a future of a better version like you can't just one dude can't go outside and just make this

in 10 minutes right no it takes cumulative all right well we do It's something that can translate to the screen and it's got to be ergonomically shaped and it's got to have this and it's got to have that. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy stuff. I love that stuff. I like that. But, yeah, no, Brambo Bryce says, yeah, it's true animals living the present. Exactly. If cats could talk, you know, if cats could speak our language, their comments would be, I'm hungry, I'm tired, da-da-da.

Not, oh, why don't you let me sit in your lap like yesterday when it was, you know, when I sat in your lap then kind of thing. Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, and the building, I hadn't really thought about it. The building buildings is a perfect example. Yeah, but beavers build dams. Termites make buildings. Yeah, but they don't make, they don't make indoor plumbing. They don't have electricity.

Right. All the complexities of a modern building. But you're right. On a rudimentary level, it's like, well, yeah, bees are doing it with their own bee vomit or whatever the hell they do. Right, exactly. Creating a, creating a safe space to protect yourself from the elements. But going beyond that, what we've, learned as a society as a civilization to put those amenities inside that that structure that

protects us yeah it's crazy yeah wild what we've done is people now let's see if we can keep it going and not kill ourselves that'd be great good luck with that good luck with that everybody uh that's going to do it for today that's going to do it for call now thanks everybody participating we'll be doing that again uh i think that worked really well actually so um pleased with how that functions we will do it again next time we have an open slot and for now we We leave you with this information. Coverville today at noon. You've heard it.

So that's going to be great. TMS Friday for patrons of this show that's happening regardless of anything and that will happen at 9 a.m. tomorrow so be here. I'll put a link up in the Discord or excuse me the not the Discord, Patreon. Patreon, thank you. That'll go up today

so that you are ready for it and can be there live and then finally FilmSack this weekend. The Electric State on Netflix. That's right. Watched it last night and I'm not going to say anything except there's some really, really

cool robot design in that movie. It's all based on that one dude's art, right? That cool it's his name. Oh, really? Yeah, he's got a whole I mean, he inspired, he also inspired some prime show that was on that you and I both liked whose name I cannot remember now.

Huh. Electric State Artist. I'll find it. I'm going to find his name and you're all going to want to seek this out. Here it is. Simon Stollenberg, or Stalinghag is his name. Swedish artist known for his retrofusteristic digital art combines nostalgic landscapes with

sci-fi elements. His work has inspired graphic novels, Netflix films, Prime series, blah, blah, blah. So what was the Oh, Tales from the Loop? Yes. Yeah, Tales from the Loop. Remember that? Tales from the Loop was so good, yeah. And so when you see, I'm going to send you

one of these, you see this and you'll immediately know who I'm talking about. Let's see. Yeah, here we go. That's right. Tales from the Loop basically had those images. or like stuff from his artwork. Like his actual art exactly. So like stuff like this

where it's like spaceships and a truck like old and new mixed together and hyper realistic but also stylistic. In fact oh so this the big giant walking robot and the thing you just saw was inspired by this painting right here this was just a single painting.

Oh yeah and that's you actually that's actually so that's a painting yeah you get that basic thing in the movie. Yeah, that's just one of the characters in the film, I guess, right? Or not character, but you'd have to tell me because I've seen it. I am excited to see it just for that alone, and I will

appreciate that stuff on its own, I think, even if the movie's not that great. Also, Daily Music Headlines, today is the technically the last official Thursday that I'm doing. Eileen steps into the Thursday role going forward to lend some real legitimacy to the show, honestly, and some real

professionalism. But she'll be doing Thursdays and find out, find out the name. A little tease for today. Dolly Parton is working with Chloe Kardashian's clothing line and came out with a new line of Dolly Parton inspired denim and gingham outfits. And I'm not going to tell, you'll have to listen to the show to hear the name associated with it. Boobies. No, probably not that. definitely not boobies. Okay. That's a shame. But it is a play on one of her songs. All right. I'm lean instead of Eileen. No? The song is not called Eileen.

Oh. What's it called? Oh, Jolene. Jolene. You said Eileen, I got confused. All right. That's it for the show. Thanks everybody for listening. If you're looking for any way to support us, find us, have us, do us, whatever. It's at frogpants.com slash TMS. Brian, take us out with a song, damn it. Yep. All right, here we go. This one's going out to our favorite Canadian, at least the Tadpool's 13th favorite Canadian, Jeff Sire, who says,

this is a cover of Stan Rogers Northwest Passage by Canadian metal band Unleash the Archers. I've written across Canada on my motorcycle several times, and different versions of the songs have always been in my iPod rotation on those trips. I told Brian once that just hearing this song makes me want to put on my big furry hat, grab my snow shoes, and start walking north. In the current situation, I won't say anymore. You could just use your imagination in words like, never end elbows. Keep your stick in the ice, stick on the ice sign, Jeff. Nice. Always good to hear from Jeff. Absolutely. And when I put this song in the playlist to put on the show, it said, oh, you've played this one before.

And then I looked and it's like, no, I've played it four times or three times before. So this is the fourth airing of this song over the course of the course of. of the years we've been doing TMS and we've been playing covers. And it's fine. It's fine because I love this song. From Unleashed the Archers and the single of the same name from 2019, here is Northwest Passage. Just one time I would take the Northwest Passage

to find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort. tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage and make a northwest passage to the sea westward from the davis strait is there it was said to lie the sea route to the orient for which so many died Seeking gold and glory Leaving weathered broken bones And a long-forgotten lonely can of stones Oh, just one time I would take the northwest passage

To find the hand of Franklin Reaching for the boatwarking tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage and make a northwest passage to the sea Three centuries thereafter I take passage over land In the footsteps of brave Calso Where his sea of flowers began

Watching cities rise before me Then behind me sink again This tardiest explorer driving hard across the place Or for just one time I would take a northward placid To find a hand of a fight That reaching four of a sea tracing one war line through the lands a wide and savage

and make an hopeless passage to the sea And throw the night behind the wheel mileage clicking west I think upon the candy David Thompson and the rest Who crushed the bells and reports and it show above for me? To rise the roaring Fraser to the sea Oh, for just one time I would take a northwest passage To find a hand of Franklin reaching for the boer-sea

Tracing one war line Through the lands a wide and savage And make a northward passage to the same How then am I so different from the first man through this way? Like them I left us his own life, I threw it all away To seek an hour's passage And the call of many men

To find out of the road back home again Or for just one time Just one time I would take a northwest passage to find the end of Wakeland reaching for the poor four sea tracing one more line through a lands a wider savage and make a north-west passage to the day of all for just one time I would take a north-west passage to find a hand of Franklin reaching for the blue for sea, tracing one woman line through our lands a white and savage and make a northwest passage to the sea.
