The morning stream. Let's do the time warp again. Oops, I was muted. Hey, everybody. Welcome to TMS. This is the morning stream for Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson, and that's Brian Ibbott. Yab adabado.

Happy Tuesday. Yeah. I like that. Beautiful. Another beautiful Tuesday. bike time. Suppose I showed you. Sorry, it's not supposed to play.

Yeah, no, that's great. You got, it's as much as, you know, Vegas is a big thing in our view. Like, we're looking right down its barrel. You got the MS-150, like, bearing down on you, like, right after. Pretty much, yeah. I mean, there's, you know, there are going to be mornings at the plaza. I'm going to drag myself out of bed early and go down to the workout area and hit the bike. Yeah.

Just because I don't want to, like, going a whole week. of not doing any bike training will probably set me back so much. So I've got to do at least two or three days while I'm there. Well, you heard it here first. If you're in Vegas and you're in the gym, you'll see Brian and they're working at. You might see me.

You might not be able to talk to me because I'll have my AirPods in, probably watching something or playing Marvel Snap or something like that. I might be watching the pit if I don't finish it by then. Damn, that show's good. Oh, it's so good. It's so good. But boy, oh, boy,

just right off the bat you see a woman whose foot has been run over by a subway yeah they don't hold they don't hold back man yeah and you're just getting started you got you got stuff toward the end that'll be like oh I know like I've never I've never seen an actual

like I know what catheters are I know how they work right I get how they work I've never seen one just straight up in a TV show oh yeah you do you get to see a full on catheter well they don't get to see the insert but you get to see a doodle with a tube out of it Oh, we do. Okay. Great. I think when you're an actor, you sign up for that, man. You get extra pay that day, I hope. Yeah. I mean, it was hard. I don't know. Maybe it was prosthetic, but it looked real.

It's probably a prosthetic, yeah. Looked real to me. I have, I have questions about this last season of The Righteous Gemstone, speaking of prosthetic weaners. There is a, there is a very prominent actor who spends a lot of time with their doodle out. and uh and uh and i've what it's i'm wondering if it's a genuine article or if that is a prosthetic if that's a dirk digler uh i wonder now i'm wondering which character i have to catch up i'm behind like the whole season you have to catch up but it uh let's let's just say blah blah blah and and it'll give it away to you and everybody without me saying the name but um sure uh we'll just say it's uh dr calhoun says it was a it was a double

they CGIed his head on. Okay, good. Oh, all right. I mean, I guess that's good. They can have their wiener out if they want, but sure. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, whatever they want. Well, cool.

Well, you're in for more weiner on the pit, so enjoy. Great. Tramatic wiener. And there is something that happens in the first episode that I think is leading to something far, far worse in later episodes, and I'm dreading it. Yeah. You're probably right. Let's say it that way. Yeah.

It may not be from the source that they kind of hint at, but... Oh, really? Okay. That makes it interesting. We're talking about the mother and the son that come in together, correct? Yep. Okay. Yep.

It's real good. How that all plays out is very good. Those actors are amazing. And it's crazy that they decided to do this as just one hour in each episode's an hour of the day. Yeah. Of the same day. And how a show can do that and have me so... By the end, I am so endeared to...

some of these characters that normally that takes seasons worth of content and not just a day at the office basically it's crazy that show is so good oh my gosh the pit's good that's really really good go see it dummies it's on uh it's on what is it's on what is it's on max that's where it's on max max pit an HBO or original uh all right oh I found out a fun little bit of trivia this is not no spoilers about the show at all but the uh the blood they use something like 400 gallons of blood for the entire season and it's fake blood of course and I saw an interview

with No Wiley said he he knew the exact number because someone asked him and he just blurted out the number they're like how do you know that he goes because we had to make it at my ranch in Northern California so he's got a ranch up there with him and his wife really and they used to they

I don't know what the deal was it just was cheaper or easier or something but what they needed to do to make that much and then load it and then bring it. He just did it all at his ranch, which I thought was pretty funny. So that's dedication to your job, man. You're producing the show.

You're acting in it. You're like, I'm bringing the blood. Making blood at my ranch. I mean, that just feels like... Where else? But Hollywood. You'd have somebody who makes blood at their ranch. Yeah.

So if you guys need some blood, Dr. Carter, ready for what you need. No Wiley. Yeah. That is... I know it's a different character. I know it's a different hospital. I know it's an ER world, but I'm treating it as if it's ER too.

You could because it was supposed to be originally, and that's why all the lawsuits. It's not to, yeah. Yeah, the lawsuits are all about that because it was supposed to be, and the Crichton's wife's all mad that they spun it out and did it different, but she still feels like they stole the idea and they've been fighting back, and it's a whole mess. It makes me kind of sad because for a show to be that good, I just wish it didn't have that legal crap hanging over it.

Totally, yeah. Turns out Michael Crichton's wife's a little bit of a crank. He's a little cranky. Oh, geez. Yeah, I don't know what her deal is. Anyway, uh, hey, we got a, we got maybe one of my favorite messages of all time to read today. Okay. Good. I absolutely love this text.

This came to us at voicecast.com.com. I absolutely love this text. All right. It's a bit of a correction. Here's what it says. Hey, dipshits. Jesus did not die on Easter. He died on Good Friday.

Remember the weird part where two chicks roll. away the stone. The Pope also did not die on Easter. Okay. See you later. Dipschits. Love the show, though. It's anonymous, so I don't know who this is. No idea. Yeah, I mean, we did, we did, this person obviously started writing this as we were figuring out the time frame of the Pope dying, because we did correct that yesterday while we were talking about it. Yeah, we corrected it in real time, so he got over-excited, he or she, I don't know who this is, but they... Oh, actually, I'm recognizing, nope, this is from my mom. I recognize the phone number. It looks a little like something

Free Hotel Room would say If he's in the right mood St.T. Monkey slash free hotel room slash Bob Yeah Who knows what he is today? We don't know, but this was anonymous And I love it.

I absolutely love the tone of it. I love someone correcting us about Jesus stuff by starting it with Hey, Dip Shits. Right. That's great. And it was two chicks rolled away. I don't know religion.

So you could have told me Jesus died on Arbor Day and I would believe you. But the two chicks rolled away the stone for his resurrection. Yeah, when they went in there to clean, they just treat the body right? And they didn't actually, so he's wrong. They didn't roll away

the stone. They tap on the rock and go, housekeeping. It's kind of like that. They got there and it was rolled away is the idea, as the story. And then they were like, oh no! And then he's risen and all that. So he's kind of got his bit wrong. Nice job though.

Why am I picturing two Wayans brothers with blonde wings and makeup? I don't know. The cast of white chicks? Two chicks. I mean, the way you phrased it, the weird part where two chicks rolled away the stone. I see two chicks, and immediately I think, if you would have said three chicks, I would have thought of the formerly named Dixie Chicks. But two chicks makes me think of white chicks. There's still the chicks now, right?

The Dipsy Chips? There's still the chicks. Okay. All right. I prefer my kid's name. dipsy chips was my favorite thing they were seven there a little yeah dad can we listen to the dipsy chips oh which song do you want the one about the guy she doesn't like that's an earl one yeah yeah yeah they called it the one about the guy she didn't like it's amazing well she didn't like him uh all right

we got a phone call from doocy self-same service uh voicecast dot app slash tms ducy sent this in we're going to see him in a few days can't wait to see him yeah uh yeah he's great And so is she. So we're going to play this. This is a Mad Max lore thing, and I appreciate him sending this in. It's about a minute. Here you go. Hi, Scrotis and Blackfinger.

This is Doocy. Listening to Scott, talk about how Mad Max is a mythological story. And I couldn't agree more. Our culture and our brains are kind of wired to try to make this a linear story where one thing leads to the next with each telling. But that's not how mythological stories work. And if anybody's having a hard time wrapping their brain around how. Mad Max could work. Well, if you're a fan of Legend of Zelda, you already know. Each new game is a new story of the myth, a new version of the legend. And it has similar tropes and themes and

callbacks, but it's not meant to be a linear timeline. It's meant to be cyclical time, you know, something that our culture doesn't really think about or deal with very much. So it's this story told over and over again. And Mad Max is the same way. Themes, tropes, repeated with each retelling. So hopefully that will help some people out there wrap their mind around how this can work. And I hope my microphone picks this up. I see what he did that. Yeah, do you get that little honk on? Nice job, man. Nice done. It's not quite this. It's not quite this. It's somewhere in the middle. Yeah. Yeah. They don't make, I mean, I think you need a good old American car. And by old, I mean, not a good old, but like a good old American car.

for that horn sound because every horn sound these days is me me me I know you can program like your electrics to do stuff but even those I need some beef to my horn I need some like exactly I want I want that I want that size that

that volume horn believe me I hear a lot of them out on the road when I'm driving for lift I don't know why I don't know why I keep hearing all these horns around me but boy there's something I want a cargo ship I want like be oh like that just scared yeah just scared the shit out of everybody. I'd like that. Just one of those

semi-horns that they honk when you do the gesture. You can be one of those. Exactly, yeah. And it needs to vibrate. You need to feel that thing coming from them, you know? Right, right. Not some little meh! Oh, no. A Honda Civic. That joltz the car in front of me and makes him

lose control of his vehicle. That's the kind of horn I want. I want to endanger fellow drivers. That's what I want. Well, thank you, Ducey. And yeah, you're right. It's exactly right. I couldn't have said it better. And the Zelda comparison is a great one because a lot of fans do try to do that with Zelda as well. They're like, okay, so if Ocarine of Time happened here, then that must be linked between worlds happened there.

And they try to create this timeline. There really isn't one. The whole idea is that you're telling this legend over and over. It is the legend of Zelda, not the exact story and timeline of Zelda. They don't call it that for a reason. So he's right. They should even call it the Legend of Zelda because it is a legend. Yeah, it feels like that would be a great idea for every game to have Legend of Zelda

colon than something else. I think that's a great idea. Speaking which, I haven't checked to see, I guess, pre-orders of the Switch 2 are happening. I haven't checked to see if I got an email from Nintendo from my... 24th. Oh, 24th, so we're still a couple days. Is that the new date they announced? Because originally it was the 9th and then they delayed it and I think it's the 24th now. The rumor is they've got big old warehouse is full of Switches already.

in the states that will avoid any kind of tariffs. So, wow, nice. Shouldn't have, at least the initial blast should not have any kind of upticks and price, but I don't think that will hold. It's still not shipping until May or June, right? May. Sometime in May, I think, yeah. Yeah, okay. So, I don't know.

I need to, I need to see, I need to see some things before I just rush out. Well, and I need to, I mean, there's a guy on Etsy, who's promised to buy my kidney and I don't, I need, I guess I need half up front is the problem. Yeah. Does he come get it personally, come out and cut it out, put the ice in?

That's part of the deal. That's actually, yeah, that actually allowed me to increase the price to where I could afford to get the not just Mario Kart, but also the Mario or the Donkey Kong game. Oh, okay, good. All right. Otherwise, it would just be one or the other. Sure. Sure, sure. No, that's good thinking because that game's not out for another year or something.

so you could put like a you know you'll put that on layaway yeah it's already money spent may as well do it yeah yeah just your kidding no uh nothing else you don't want any other organs out or surprisingly just a kidding but he does want to look at both of them before he decides which one yeah yeah i get it dude that left one and they're stupid rules i know that left one pumping out some real orange pee you gotta watch out for that left one anyway uh that's great thank you docy also we got a uh i got a question for few people last night, we got the windows open. It's nice out like you were saying about your riding today.

Yeah. Got some better temperatures coming in and all that. So we've had the windows open. And as a result, one of the, you can say downsides or benefits to having my windows open is I sometimes can hear the neighbors have strange conversations. All right. I heard one last night. I'm so glad you said having strange conversations and not having something else. No, I can't hear them in their house.

Like if in their house, I can't hear anything. So if they're having wild, passionate loud sex, I have no idea. but we've had neighbors oh yeah yeah yeah so i can't hear any of that but i can hear them if they're out in their garage or in their yard or whatever and so yesterday i hear this conversation and i don't know who to apply this to it sounded a little bit like tesla guy but i'm not sure it was him could be the guy right next to him similar dude anyway it sounds kind of like him when i've heard him talk but he's the one with the truck at 4 a.m i think oh yeah okay so i think this is who this is I'm not getting up to, like, peek out and look or anything.

I'm just laying there listening to this. Kim was Zonk. She had a big long day yesterday, so she was out, and it was just me reading a book, and I hear this guy yell this. He goes, but where did they go? Like that. That's how it starts. And then I hear a very quiet woman's voice going, and then I hear, yeah, but where did it go? Or where did they go?

And he just kept saying, but where did they go? really loud and you got angrier as they went on yeah he goes i understand that but where did they go and i wanted to get up and go where did they go i just wanted it just right back yeah i wanted to join like you lost something and he was like searching the garage to find it and uh no idea i mean i was just like beyond i mean they never i couldn't hear her so the specifics of what she said he never said anything loud except for yes but where did they go or I know but where did they go

like those kinds of statements I saw them sitting on the workbench yesterday yeah but where did they go well I was looking at them when I came home the other day from the store yeah but where did they go that's how it felt it felt insane

it felt like a person was insane and I was witnessing it so I don't know man he'll be slow descent into madness Yeah. So to this moment, I don't know. I love when people have theories about this. So call in your theories and let me know what you guys think. This guy was trying to find and that his wife was being so unhelpful about or whoever that other person was. Because I really have no idea. And that person, if it was the 4 a.m. guy, sure enough, this morning, 4 a.m., here's truck start. And because the weather's nice, he doesn't let it sit for too long because he's not trying to heat it up. He just takes off. It's one of those, what's it called? Diesel. Diesel. Oh, diesel, okay. Yeah, because this truck. Oh, I'd never hear the Tesla.

This truck is like, brr-h, although I guess you can take your Tesla. Maybe I'm at a Rivian or something. It's not a... You can add, you can make sounds on those, right? Isn't that the deal? You can, like, create a different engine sound or something? I don't know how that works. I think so.

I mean, like we were saying earlier, I know you can do the horn, but... Because all I know is whenever I hear those, I just hear, like a weird... Right. noise yeah yeah and i thought there was some law somewhere or some state required them to put in a way to make it noisier so that pedestrians could hear you coming or something like i that was the whole point so that it wouldn't if it was perfectly silent you'd have people getting run over by those cars all the time yeah something like that anyway whatever that was someone out there and no one

tell us we got we got we got cops to put your own mp3 of whatever sound that might be how it works assume there's got to be rules though this guy just sound like the speed speed buggy from the old 70s or 80s cartoon oh I would do that in a heartbeat you kidding speed buggy yeah that's a great idea yeah no this guy's is like a big Dodge

RAM 800 or whatever the numbers are like whatever yeah 1500 2500 or 3500 probably one of the like what crazy neighbor has It's a beast and it just goes And it's 4 a.m. and my windows are open So guaranteed wake up. Anyway, there's that. Time to now.

Oh, yeah, one more thing. Yeah, I got this one more thing. I got a question. This is a weird, maybe this is a little too, I don't know, I don't know how this is going to land for people. But you and I grew up in a generation where our dads, our moms, adults in our lives. were hardcore about turn the light off when you're not in the room.

That was the thing, right? And the reason was we had halogen lights that A would break too soon and B would use way more energy than say these efficient LED things we have now. So I understand why they were upset. Like one halogen light in a room on for 30 minutes might use the same total amount of energy as a single LED might last for two months of being on and not being turned off or something, right? That is a totally different time.

Also, I mean, the excuse that I always heard is how much it costs to keep those lights on all the time, as opposed to those lights breaking sooner because you're leaving them on all the time. Right, right. They just, the natural thing, I mean, they didn't know any better, so they break, they would break, but that was just part of those lights. But my dad's big beef, like you said, was cost. How much is it cost for you to keep those lights on all the time? Yeah, I don't, money ain't growing on trees or whatever the hell he would add. Right, right.

And they were so hardcore about it. It was built into us as a generation to just turn off lights because they were burning energy. Something's weird now. I think we're the last generation to have that because kids now are all like, whatever. They leave them on because they know that these LEDs don't, they really just, they last freaking forever. They use hardly any energy. I mean, hell, take this stupid little thing I keep checking on, for example. It's like just goes and goes and goes, super efficient, doesn't even do.

touch or deem your freaking monthly electric bill really so should we should i quit being so it still feels like a giant waste to me to walk into a room and see a light on so i'm just i need to be talked down from the street there's less no i'm not going to talk you down because i do the same thing when tristan lived here regardless of uh you know he had a an ikea LED light in his room and and we've got those all around here the uh the lights right above me are LEDs. That's an LED. There's a lot of Hugo lights down here so I can make the office whatever color I want.

But there's I don't know. It just feels like there's a I don't know what the hell the reason is, but there's a reason you just don't leave lights on. It's almost like it's a it's a form of cleaning up after yourself. You done in a room, you leave the room, you turn off the light. You make a mess. You clean it up before you leave. the room that's there's zero reason i can't say well because it costs so much money to leave

them on or because uh they're gonna go these LEDs will go out sooner if you leave them on there's zero reason for that yeah but yeah um that's how i feel i feel the exact same way i'm just compelled i'm like turn them off what are we doing i say we still ingrain that into our children so that they ingrain into their own children it's like uh what what kind of society we live live live in if if people you know, they leave the lights on when they leave the room. What's next, Scott? Leaving the car running in the garage because it's a, you know, it's a gas efficient or. I mean, there's already technology that does this, but I expect more and more.

There will be more and more homes fitted with lighting systems that turn on when people are in there and turn off when you leave. And you'll be able to control that stuff. So there's probably a whole generation of Zs and alphas who have no concept of any of this, because the house is just taking care of it so they don't turn off anything it just gets turned off for them which is very different than what we grew up with you know mine were all like yeah where i worked at a place god was this so this might have been when i was doing when i was working for um back when it was us west in the art department and sometimes they'd send me over to the i worked at 18 in california sometimes they sent me to their other building across the street where they had other offices

to help them with either data entry or presentation creation or whatever. And they had their lighting system for the corner of the building that I was in where there weren't any windows, they had their lighting system on a timer or some sort of sensor. And I remember having to, because I'd get there in the zone and I'd be working and I'd be, you know, very small movements with the mouse, creating these things and typing and barely moving. and every once in a while the lights would go on to do this sort of thing to get them to go back on

yeah I don't want that I don't want that kind of future where we I mean I guess all right you give me some automatic sensors that maybe it's not by motion but maybe it just senses when

your watch or your phone or something comes into part of the house and it automatically turns on something with Apple or Hugh, Phillips Hugh or something like that. Yeah, I could see that. I mean, and I know this stuff exists in some way, but the bathroom I was in once did the thing you just described. And I don't remember what it was, an office or something.

But I had, let's say, an extended stay in the stall. I had to be there for a while. Okay? Just had to be there. It's fine. One of those days. And the lights go out. And I'm sitting there going, well, I have to at least know where the paper is.

I got to like know what to do here. Right. So I'm going. You're in a stall so that the sensors might not even be looking at the stall. might actually have to be out in the room and the rest of the bathroom. That's exactly right. And they weren't. So I was doing this. Nothing's working. So here's how I finally got it to work. I had a jacket with me. I threw it out of the stall. It was a nice clean bathroom. So I wasn't worried about it landing somewhere gross or whatever. So I'd toss it out

toward the sink and it worked. Lights came up and it was enough for me to get out of there. But yeah, it's, uh, nobody wants to be in the dark on the shitter. Nobody. No, for sure. I think I would have tried winding up some toilet paper and throwing it out of a stall and seeing if that was enough to trigger the motion sensor. Yeah, just they have a couple extra rolls in there. Why not? Could have done that. Well, anyway, if you guys at home have thoughts about you, you know, the way you treat

light, your light inventory, your supposed, you know, light needs. It certainly looks like, based on what people in chat were saying, that nobody here is like, oh, yeah, let them leave it on. It's totally fine. Everyone is like, no, you know, turn them off. Turn off the lights. Just leave, if you leave the room, turn off the light. Yeah.

Like if, yeah, I need to, I should probably just, you know, and it's probably like a, it's a good start to, if you're done with anything, turn it off. Because if you, again, if you start with lights and if you're lackadaisical on lights, then leaving, you know, leaving the TV on when you leave the house or leaving the radio on or playing music, I guess, it's not radio, your MP3, you're streaming music, so knows, leaving that going when you leave the house, all that stuff. It's like, no, when you leave something, turn it off. Yeah, I agree. We do have, when we leave, we have both the security system, but also I have these lights that turn on in intervals, and they're kind of random, so it doesn't feel like you could figure out what the pattern is.

That's different. Like, those are going to come on for a while. They're going to turn off. It's going to emulate if somebody was in there, they turned on a bathroom light for half an hour and they turned it off. Like, all that stuff's fine, but I'm with you. Just turn the shit off. Don't leave things on unless I have one,

exception that I cannot help do. I love leaving the TV on in a hotel room and I'm not in there. I don't know why. That's a security thing probably, right? Maybe a little bit, but also part of me is like, I've paid for this shit. I'm not going to be here all day. I'm going to let this,

I'm going to let it burn. I don't know why. That's been, I'm really sticking it to the Hilton. Yeah. It's probably right along with when I used to take the towels and stuff. It's like, I always felt like they owed me something. Yeah, used to. used to take this towel. I don't do the towels anymore because they have chips in them now,

so I can't do that. Yeah, they know. Yeah, they learned. They learned the hard way that some of us want those towels. But yeah, I don't, I don't know why, but it's like, hey, Guy Fieri's marathon, diners, drive-ins, and dives are going to be on all day in this room. Well, I'm downtown Vegas hanging out with my friends, but my Vegas hotel room is going to be in there going, this potato chip is gangster all day long. Nice. You'll be able to figure out which room is Scott and Kim's by walking down the hall and listening for the sounds of Guy Fierry at 4 o'clock in the afternoon talking about a cheeseburger that's off the chain. That's right.

I love doing it. All right. Let's get to some news. Time to inform the people. All right. Let's do this one. It's time for the news and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by Bad Ass Breakfast Burritos.

All right. So this place with that same name that Brian just said here in town. not a paid advertisement. This is just a place. People call Bab for short. It is so freaking. I had my first one yesterday. I thought I was going to die.

It was so good. I have not had this kind of thing in forever. It was so good. Can I just tell you the brilliance of having egg in there that's not scrambled that has the runny yolk to add the sauce to the burrito? Why is this not happening everywhere. And you have to ask, you get to choose. So the default is that, but you can choose.

You can say, no, I want full scrambled or I want over easy. You should be basically when you're ordering anything there, you'd tell them the way you want your eggs done. And then there's tons of meat combos. This worst one here, it's got liverwurst in it. You'd think that'd be bad. It's so good, dude. It's so good. I had the Bronco over here on the far right. That was really good that had pickled jalapenos in it was just, were insane. They're big, they're generous, they're full of most, they're not full of fillers.

They're full of like, you know, egg and avocado and the meat and the sauce and the stuff and the whatever. And it's not like they fill it with mostly rice or mostly, you know, beans or whatever. Yeah, potato, like an overabundance of potato. I want some potato on my breakfast breeder, don't get me wrong. But if it feels like three-fourths of what I'm getting is potato, I'm sending it back. That's a, oh, tater tots they're using.

I know. I know. They're so good. This Cajun one, unbelievable. This, Carter had the impossible one. She said it was great. Didn't try it. But they have those options if you want them.

Anyway, if you are here, and there's other places these are at, like, let's see, Colorado may have one. Let's see. Yeah, you got a bunch. Oh, look like a few. Well, are they far from you? Central Park. Yeah, Centennial and Colorado Springs are opposite. of town. Color of Springs is an hour

south of me. So there, that's out. Centennial is absolutely the opposite end of town. Central Park is closer. But, uh, we just have this one. We just got one. But it's close is what what I'm envious about is that's

well, Sandy. It's pretty close. It's pretty close. Sandy's not too far. It's maybe that's maybe a 10 minute drive. It's not bad. So I guess I have to just I have to go to this place and, um, and show them that Colorado wants more of these

and maybe they'll put one in Arvada or Pete Ridge or someplace. Can I recommend them enough? I absolutely freaking loved it. And oh, I'd do it again. I'd do it today if I could. Maybe I will. Maybe I will do it again today.

Maybe I will. All right, let's get to the news. Speaking of eggs, eggs are so expensive. Some Americans are decorating potatoes for Easter or did. yes i know i was hearing about this like uh i mean we're basically in potato famine times right yeah yeah okay children we're going to put the look for the pink potato i kind of i'm kind of sad

we didn't do it here because i just think it would have been funny because we did plastic eggs and filled them with candy and stuff we didn't do the traditional thing but um anyway easter uh it was on its way this article we have we've been holding this for a few days so easter's over now but Anyway, people in the U.S. had to think outside the basket this year. Get at the basket. Huffo? Nope, not Huffo. Can you believe it? Canadians are laughing at us up there with this article.

They're having a moment, eh? Yeah. Eggs tend to be a staple for Easter celebrations, whether they're being decorated with bright paints rolled on the lawn at the White House or deviled and displayed on a platter or baked into kishes and served with brunch. We had a breakfast casserole, Kim made. It was very good. Ooh, yum.

Required eggs. That's where our eggs went. Isn't that thing? Sure. She made deviled eggs and then promptly dropped the container containing said deviled eggs on the floor and had to reassemble the deviled eggs. I couldn't tell. She had to tell me it happened, but it was pretty funny.

But she did a great job reassembling, reintegrating. Oh, so the guts of them fell out of the, you know what I mean? She had in a plastic, like a Tupperware container with like, you know, she made, it was just her, her mom and I. So she made six of them. Or maybe eight? Eight. I can't remember. Eight, eight, probably. And had them in Tupperware container,

dropped the Tupperware container. The eggs never left the container, but the goo, the insides all got dumped out of the, the eggs themselves. The devil part. The devil, exactly. The devil was really, the eggs were de-deviled. I don't call them that. Deviled eggs.

They were exercised. Yeah, that's right. There's probably some history on that. I'd love to know the origin of why they're called deviled eggs. Is it just because of the paprika? and the spiciness, I don't know. I don't know either. Or maybe there was some, like,

during the witch trials, the witches, if she made an egg with stuff in it, she was a witch. Burner. Anyway, so because of this, the U.S. egg prices have been high

and not going down, despite what some people would tell you. Right. Amid this outbreak of bird flu and other things, there's other reasons. But anyway,

many Americans are looking for alternatives to some of their favorite traditions. So last month, egg prices increased again to reach new record high, average of 623 per dozen, or 873 Canadian. Luckily, Influencers. Oh, luckily influencers is about where I should stop and never read on. Those two words should never be luckily in influencers.

I don't like that combo at all. But anyway, it says they have stepped up to the challenge. Nobody asked for this, but whatever. When it comes to decorating eggs, dyeing everything from marshmallows to potatoes, one popular TikTok video of light by Lifestyle and Home Design site, The Spruce, offered five alternatives to decorating real eggs, including painting pasta shells, painting potatoes, and painting clay. Dude, you give the kid clay, you're a mean parent, F, that noise. You are the worst parent ever, yeah.

Marshmallows, you know what? Marshmallows I can get behind all of it. Here's the problem with any of these foods. You're putting them in trees, you're putting them in, you know, out in the open, in grass and stuff like that. Eggs at least have that nice shell. So you collect all these eggs, you still can, you know, you know. to take off the shells and you have a nice little hard-boiled egg. But marshmallows do not have that.

So you basically got to convince the kids. Yep, you found the marshmallows. Now, throw them away and eat these potatoes. Yeah. Potatoes I could see working outside just because no kids are going to bite into a raw potato anyway. But they're also lumpy and miss shaped. It's not like you're going to find some nicely shaped potatoes that look just like eggs. This is dangerous.

I guess those little ones, you can get the little baby potatoes that sort of are raw blong and sort of look like. like a small egg, I suppose. Yeah, the little, like the fingerlings almost. Yeah. You wash them. They grew in dirt. You can wash the dirt and tree and grass and stuff off of them and, and use them and still eat those.

We found out a neighbor has, you know, was it here we talked about? I think we did. Carter and I did too, but we talked about chickens and how the HOA kind of frowns on certain. You can have some chickens, but it has to be a certain distance from things and all this. Anyway, found out a neighbor has chickens and they produce about eight eggs a day. I think is what she said, eight eggs a day. And so they use what they use and then they sell the rest at the farmer's market over here and when the months are the farmer market months. And I'm super, I want to talk to them and just say, what's the cost breakdown?

Like, what does it cost you to raise these chickens, feed these chickens, house these chickens compared to what you get on the back end of either saving money on your own eggs or selling them to others? because I don't know why I'm intrigued by eggs or by having your own damn eggs. I don't know why. Yeah, no. Our neighbor across the way, his son and his son's wife raised chickens, and they brought us eggs at one point. They were great. They were totally, totally fine.

But I don't know how many chickens you need to have to get a turnout of about eight per day. Yeah, it's got to be more. It's obviously more than one chicken, so it's got to be. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's got to be at least eight chickens. Can chickens turn out an egg a day? That's a great question. I don't know.

I was raised on cartoons, dude. The foghorn leg corn cartoons had them shitting them out every second. Blu, pll, pll, plop. Yeah, they'd sit in their nest and go, and there'd be a pyramid underneath them. But I know about chickens is less than this. I know nothing. Yeah, I know. We'll get another dipshit's text explaining how many, yeah, TV's Travis confirms.

Chickens do an egg a day, lay an egg a day. All right. T.B. Travis, a egg expert. I didn't know that. Look at you, buddy. Yeah. All right. You guys are like the... Probably, I would bet they have a dozen chickens that are turning out eight eggs. Because will chickens really like seven days a week, seven eggs a week kind of thing? I don't know. That would be great, right? Yeah.

I wouldn't need more than that. But also, I don't... The cleanliness you have to pay attention to. This is the whole reason we got this whole breakout of bird flu thing. Yeah. Man, I'm telling you right now, if bird flu... hops it's already in cow it's already in cows now if that shit hops to humans we are effed like beyond COVID effed

like oh I know that drink some bleach or maybe you should figure out a way to shine a light in there and that'll solve the problem it'll make COVID look like us it'll make COVID look like sniffles in 2020 man it'll be bad oh gosh BioCal is just now hearing about this

oh we should have warned him should have given BioCal some warning before we just said that. Oh, what about the bird flu? Sorry, BioCal. You're right, buddy? Cows, no. Let's see. Where are we?

Oh, let's move on to this. Concord, Mom. Concord, Mom. Concord. From Concord, I think. Let's see. If it's North Carolina, it's pronounced Concord. I think so, because charlotte.com, yeah.

Conquered. Concord? A Concord, mom. Yeah. I had a friend named Trish, lived in Concord, North, Carolina went out and visited her with my co-worker cliff we were doing one of our newspaper trips and we went to the charlotte motor speedway on a non-race day and we just walked the track it was great like the sloping ends like walking across that and seeing how

much of a slope there was this is so cool you ever been to a NASCAR like a live race never actually been to an actual well i take that back bandamere speedway out here used to have drag races and funny car races, but it's not a circular track, it was a stretch. Oh, right. Sprint-type racing or whatever. Right, exactly. So you just get them all lining up at the end

and then going right in front of you. But I've never been to a round and round and round and round kind of We stood outside one time, the Vegas one, is that called out there? Oh, yeah. Whatever that is. Vegas Motor Speedway or something? Is that the name?

The one that's just north of, or is it north, north of the city? Kind of a little bit weighs out. Anyway, that thing I was near once when there were two cars on there. They weren't racing, and it wasn't like a crowd. But you could hear this, like, that's the most insane sound, still to this day. Just like that crazy sound cars make when they're going that fast. I like that, actually.

Not much else about NASCAR that I would enjoy, but it is the sound of them going by that I think I'd really enjoy. It's like the most intense Doppler effect of all time. Just really cool. anyway we haven't racing fans out there send us a hey dip shits email and let us know we got that i give us another dipshit's correction i'm all into these i think they're great okay conquered mom uh she glued her eyes shut after mistaking nail glue for eyedrops well that'd be like me doing when i get my glue six on her what if i put that glue in my eye for this thing oh you haven't you haven't gotten the glue you i haven't had time to get out there and do it but

bob smith have it delivered to you bob smith industries bob smith industries i mean I might do that. I found out it was it. I think the local ace has it, so I was just going to just go, but then I just had no acrylate, whatever it's called. Yeah. Sereno de Bergerlacrylate. Yeah, a lacrolete. That's the one.

Let's see. So this lady, she screwed up big. Concord mother is recovering. She accidentally glued her eyes shut because she thought her nail glue was eyedrops. It turns out the mistake may be more common than you think. Well, that's just when people mess up. It's, you know, it's what we do. Have you ever put anything in your eye that was supposed to be like eye drops or something?

It turns out it was the wrong thing to put in there. No, because I'm so hyper, because I'm so freaking scared of doing that, that I probably check the label eight times before I put anything in my. That's why I've kind of a beef with this because I just don't know who is not at least looking enough to see the different. There's no way I would ever do this. I just can't imagine a situation where I would do this. Me neither. But, you know, I guess if you're maybe, you know, if you're, if you do, you and I probably put eye drops in, well, I'll speak for myself. I put eye drops in my eyes, maybe once every two or three weeks. That, that rarely. Even though it's really dry in Colorado, I don't need eye drops. I'm probably, I'm probably three times a week or something like that. Three times a week. Okay, wow. So I'm thinking like, you know, it's not a, it's not a, it's not a reflex.

response to just grab the bottle, bloop, bloop, bloop, like it might be for her. Maybe she just automatically grabs that bottle and puts it in, but it starts dropping. Or if those two bottles are too close together, but get a different brand for sure. Like don't. Right. And don't keep them in the same place. Yeah, there's so many ways you can prevent this. Like put, you know, put Gaffer's tape around one so that if you feel it, you can tell the

difference between the two or something. Yeah. It seems like there could have been ways to solve. of this. But anyway. I'm just visualizing what they had to do to separate her eyelids. Oh my gosh dude. The pit.

The pit. Episode three. We separate a woman's eyelids for nail-gluing her Oh, that's a perfect. Perfect idea for that show. They should do it. Season three. Yeah. Bring it on. Well, anyway, so she thought it was this. The woman said she was

dealing with irritation in her eye because of dry contact lenses. That happens. We get it. She said she reached for what she thought. was the eyedrops for some relief and quickly realized she had made a major mistake. When it hit my eye like a big pizza pie, just kidding, she didn't say that part. It immediately burned, like really bad

she says. It wasn't until I went to rub it, and when I came back, my finger got stuck to my eye. Oh, dude. That ain't good. That ain't good. Her name is, I'm not going to say her name. Look at it. Look at her name. I refuse

to say that. I was pulling up the Indy in the middle. So let me give you one second here. I do get my notes for that. Oh, oh, yeah. No, we're not going to. She needs to get to the courthouse. Let's say, let's say her name is Kenitha Fagart. Yeah, it's probably Fagart, but it's, it's spelled F-A-G-G-A-R-T. That's a terrible name. There is. You'd have to say Fagart and not. Right, right. That put the, exactly.

You've got to emphasize the right syllable. You can open emphasis on the first syllable. What a terrible name. Anyway, go get that, seriously, go get that fixed. Or move to Britain where it's just a cigarette. It's fine. It's more offensive to just blatantly not attempt to say somebody's name than to attempt it and say it wrong. I'd say in this case, no.

Yeah, I disagree. If somebody, okay, if somebody's name looks like it's pronounced. Right. Like a difficult name to pronounce is one thing. but a name that is a hares width close to a slur to a homophobic slur

that's why we're not saying. Yeah, that's and you know what N-word works that way? It's like, oh, it looks like your name is of course it's not better. Right. No, we know Claire. Claire, here's the thing with Claire. Let me say this about Claire, who I love and can't wait to see in Vegas. I love her.

Yeah, yeah. But everything needs to be an outrage with Claire. Right. All things are down to some horrible misjustice. English isn't the only language in this world? No, we know, but I don't know how to say Fagart properly without getting in trouble. That's all.

Exactly, exactly, yes. I'll totally understand if it's a difficult name to pronounce. And we will never shy away. You should know this, 11 years of doing this show. No, 13 years of doing this show. Whatever it's been 14? Jesus Christ. 2011, how is it? Yeah, it's 14 years.

Jesus. That we never shy away from trying to pronounce a name that looks difficult because we will happily get it wrong. Yeah. But a name that's that close to a racial slur? Yep. Nope. Not going to try that one. Nope. Thanks.

Nope. This would be a trick you would play on somebody at a graduation lineup where they're reading all the names. And they would be like, oh. We're coming up close to that time again. I wonder if we're going to get the, uh, a Funay. I remember the audio I said you of the woman mispronouncing like Jennifer, but Jafune. I love that one. It's like Carter. She got called

Cartier Johnson, or Cardi, Cardi A. Johnson, right Carter? Cardi A Johnson, is that what they called you at graduation? Yeah, Cardi A. Cardi A. Excellent. Like, yeah, how hard is it to say Carter? Come on, man. Jimmy Chew Manolo Blanick and Cartier Johnson Laurie Like come on man

Put somebody in charge of that Who knows how to pronounce the easy ones At least But anyway Mrs. Fagart Got it all taken care of She was in the ER

They have a retina specialist They took care of it She's okay But they have a lot of stuff That can dilute a lot of those things now So most of the time, if you get yourself, get your ass to a doctor, they'll be able to take care of it. But don't, Brian and I are right, though, take caution ahead of time to put shit in the right place, to have it easily labeled and found out. And don't rush to stick stuff in your eyes ever, no matter what.

I'm just visualizing. I mean, even, all right, so they go to the hospital, they don't have to use a scalpel or whatever to separate your eyelids. The fact they've got something maybe that is going to dissolve the glue, that can't be good to be that close to your actual eyeball. Whatever that is. Oh, my gosh, dude. Oh, none of this sounds good. It all sounds horrifying. Eyes freak me out.

I stuff freaks me. Yeah, I stuff should. It's a natural human thing. That's the name, guys. That's say it right there. That's what we've been trying to say right. Okay. Just so you know.

Don't put my picture up when you put that up. Because somebody's going to screenshot that. It's going to go all around the web. And I can never wear their shirt again now. They'll take it completely out of context. It's like they do. All right. We're going to take a break when we come back.

We will be here with Dan. Dan's going to be here, make some board game recommendations, that sort of stuff. Sadly, we will not see Dan in Las Vegas, but we will be playing board games in his stead, you know. And his stead, in his, and probably several that he's recommended, too, for us. True that. Brian, between now and then, though, we probably ought to play a little. song what do you got yeah speaking of north carolina we're going to high point north carolina for a four-piece rock band i mean this photo of them sitting there in their leather

jackets on some dirty couches with some crap on the floor and sunglasses i mean they're all you know uh it it makes you wonder why the name of the song is is show me how to love you oh my but but when you hear it it's like all right yeah this is some heavy rock and roll i love this. Yeah, the brand new single from the band pageant is called Show Me How to Love You. And it sounds like it's from a Tim Rice musical, but it's not. Let's see. This is just released as a separate single. I'm looking to see produced by Brian Craddock, who also produced Daughtry, and mastered by Brad Blackwood, who works with mammoth, corn, Maroon, 5, and 7 dust.

I don't joke when it comes to money. It's much too sacred. And we're back. And the band called Pagent and their brand new single, Show Me How to Love You. Go check them out. Rock band from North Carolina, from High Point. Nice. North Carolina coming up a few times in today's conversation as well as our next guest who hails from North Carolina.

Yeah, no kidding. It's an all North Carolina segment here. Gluing your eyes shut, some rock and roll and some board games. Go Panthers. Here's a tangent for him. Be careful. May he cause drowsiness. Hey, look who it is.

That's our old pal, Dan, Dan, the Tabletop Man. Dan Patrice joining us as he does once a month to talk about tabletop games and sometimes other stuff. You never know. Dan, welcome to the show. greetings programs i'm very happy to be back all those cities you keep in not too far away to be honest i mean high point is only maybe 45 minutes away and concord probably a couple hours away but not all that so you pronounce isn't it pronounced concord i mean

i'm not a southerner so i'd have to ask my wife how to actually pronounce it or somebody that's from that area i mean i still say concord but you know yeah i would say concord and i probably did the first time and then she's like no brian it's conquered okay yeah you can take the boy out of the Long Island, but you can't take the Long Island out of the boy. That's right. Right. Exactly. And what you said, Brian, you know, when it comes to things like eye drops, I'm the

same. I am so paranoid about doing something wrong, I would check like a hundred times. Because my wife's eyes are, I mean, my eyes aren't great, but my wife's eyes are kind of crap. So we've got a bunch of different eye drops around. So if I'm just looking for the allergy eye drops, especially this time of year, I've got to look at things like a million times. And then even sometimes the brand names, like you don't see them all the time.

So if she's got a brand name one, I've got to look and see what the ingredient is. And being that, I'm now 50, I have to sometimes, especially since those, you know, the bottles are so small in a writing on them, I've got to really look at the active ingredient. Yeah. But you guys are not going to be at their best. So you want to make sure you've got lots of large ways, you know, very distinctive ways that don't require a tiny type to determine what they are. With your medical background, like what do you think, what does the doctor do to separate her eyelids? Does he? Well, I mean, a lot of times they'll probably first call poison control to see what, you know, what exactly will, because a lot of times they'll have

things on file that will kind of dissolve that safely. And, you know, what we were talking in a chat, you know, the water being the universal solvent, you'd be surprised with like warm, tepid water and then eyewash would be like the first thing they tell you. And it just kind of, you know, between your eyelashes and then the membranes and everything else, a lot of that stuff softs off and it just kind of will naturally come off anyway. But a lot of times the warm water first will we'll start to do that. And, I mean, it all depends. They would have to get in there and look and see what it's actually attached to.

Because to truly congeal to a membrane of your eye is very difficult. So it would probably be on like the lids or something, which again is a little bit easier to get off. I mean, I'm sure it's sucked, but, you know, it's no fun anyway. Sounds like it sucked for sure. And we've heard stuff like, you hear stuff like that all the time in pharmacy. I mean, the amount of crap that people will call you and ask about or try to show you when you're working in a retail pharmacy would blow your mind. I mean, and also, like, you're talking about reading labels, we get calls all the time and it'd be like, so I'm not sure if I took my propranol or maybe I didn't.

And then I'm also not sure if I took this other blood pressure medicine. Like, what should I do? I'm like, well, first of all, what are you supposed to be? Like, how are you supposed to be taking? Where are the doses? In this kind of conversation, the amount of stuff that people will do, and a lot of times it's just like, well, don't take anything else. Just wait until the next one, because most of the time skipping one, they can hurt you that much.

But it's just wild what people will do. If the stuff that's bad, you know, if you skip it, it's going to cause issues, you're going to feel those issues and then take it. The ones that don't matter if you skip the day. Depending on the drug, I mean, it's, to be honest, I mean, depending on a drug, it's going to be pretty rare that missing one dose of most things. again, this is not for everything. No.

But the grand majority of thing missing one dose is not going to hurt you that much. So if you're not sure what you take, you took, chances are either you can probably count your remaining tablets and try and figure it out or just, you know, go to the next one. A lot of times they'll say if it's more than if you forget in the afternoon and a morning dose, if it's more than halfway to the next dose, don't take it. And some drugs, if it's not, you know, that far away, you could take a second dose. and it's not going to hurt you. I personally would recommend don't bother. I mean, obviously call you a pharmacist or a doctor to ask him, but I would probably just say, just move on depending on the drug.

Yeah. If you ever have questions about that, find me on Discord. I'd be happy to answer any, you know, questions. You may have to call. Just geek jock these days, right? Yeah, on Discord. Yeah, just geek jock on Discord. And I'm in basically the major spoilers and Frog Pants Discord.

So I'm pretty easy to find. Very easy to find. You can DM him on all that stuff. He's always open to talk. you. And here's the thing. You basically describe what I've always thought would be the worst tech support job in the world, which is basically medical tech support. So like, you know, you can get used to harmless stuff like, oh, I put a Pop-Tart in the floppy drive and now my my PC won't boot. Like that's, okay, fine, no one's going to die. You just screwed up your PC. But when people call it and go, I took my, accidentally took my daughter's Adderall on top of this other thing and now my heart won't stop. You know, like you're talking about life and death sometimes if you F, up your tech, your quote-unquote tech. It just seems like a nightmare. If you're working a tech job, if you're working like a call center, that's kind of what you do. When you're a pharmacist working in a retail pharmacy, you've got 15 other things and probably screaming

babies, pissed off people about their insurance and all this other things that they just want to talk to you. There are people that will call and ask for the pharmacist just to give them a seven-digit number that they could have given to the tech or typed it into the IVR. I mean, it's crazy how many different ways. Thank God I work at home and, you know, doing PAs and stuff. And I still get dumb questions from pharmacies, like pharmacies calling with dumb questions. Yeah. Well, let's hope we're the ones giving you the dumbest questions that you have to deal with. That's what we hope here. You know what? There's no dumb question that comes from you guys. I enjoy every single one of them. Yeah. Good. Yeah. The Wright 86 real quick ask, how many years ago was that Scott had a

floppy and a PC? So the reason I even bring that example up is when I used to do a local, we had a local AM station, still do, KSL here locally, had a computer show on the weekends that I would get invited to to go and talk about we would answer tech support questions from people who would call in and one of them was a lady whose son had jammed uh uh what um the flavor i even remember was a pop tart yeah but it was a kind of pop tart uh brown sugar that's it brown sugar that's that would be that would be the one that i'd put in a floppy drink i mean you know yeah if you're gonna do it you may as well go my choice that would be the one so this kid had crammed it in there and we had to talk her through what to do to replace the thing

and all that. So whenever this comes up, it's my go-to. I can't help it. I know it's been forever. Sure. It is what it is. I'm sure. Hey, Dan, let's get to some fun talk about some board games. You know, we're headed to Vegas where we're going to have a board game day. Absolutely. Very exciting stuff. Give us some other ideas that we should be

playing these days. So I'm hoping, so hopefully anybody out there that's listening that's going to Vegas has one or both. The first one is definitely going to be a party game. The second one I just wanted to mention because it's a newer game, and I think it would be good for both of these games are Johnson games, but you would absolutely love

both these. Actually, knowing Johnson, actually, you'll both go to love this first one, because this is more of a party game atmosphere, and I really hope somebody can bring this to Vegas and play it for you. This is when it came out a couple years ago. It's called Ready Set Bet. Now, this is the time of year for horse racing, because we're going to have right around the corner as the Toucky

Derby, and the Triple Crown is coming. Now, I don't think I ever mentioned this one on here, but this is more of a party game where it's all real time. Now, you're going to take somebody's going to rotate, or, depending on you know who's playing sometimes somebody just wants to be the announcer but somebody has to be kind of the guy running the you know rolling the die uh and then kind of moving the horses and if you get somebody that really gets into it they're announcing the horses as they're going and as they're

rolling because you're rolling dice uh there's basically horses from two to 12 and you're rolling two dice and then there's another board that has all the bets now the real time aspect of this is where all the bets are now if you see a picture of it uh Scott I'm not sure if you put it in the I think this is it right here. Yeah, I'm showing it right now. In fact, you should see it in your Discord, but isn't that the betting? I think that's the betting sheet right there, right? That's the betting thing.

It's the, I think you want to show the tablet in the back, though, right? No, I wanted to show the betting sheet because I wanted to say how crazy it's going to look. It's going to look crazy. But as you get explained the game, everything makes sense in less than five minutes. You can explain this game so easy. And you're just kind of throwing bets out there. And then on the bottom of that picture that you have up there, there'll be these other cards that are kind of these almost like prop bets. everything is real time so

you're kind of trying to wait because you know you don't want to get in too early on something because maybe you know you're going to you know if you get in too early then all of a sudden another horse would go down because you know how dice are like obviously sevens are going to come up more but not always when you're doing them like sometimes all of a sudden 10 goes out there

and then the odds are all adjusted because of which number it is and then sometimes those prop bets would be like you know either the two or 12 finishes ahead of the six and then that's like you get odds on that so they're cool prop bets that change every round. And so as somebody's kind of rolling it,

and then there's the, you'll see the other board where the horses actually are, there's a line there, there's a red line. That's going to be kind of the no more bets line. I think there's, I think when two horses get there, I think it's something like that, two horses get there, there's no more bets. This is perfect for TMS Vegas

because you will be hooting and hollering and screaming and yelling and having an absolute time. I love this look right here, this board thing, you were talking about the actual race board where you put your chits on and stuff. This is so reminiscent of like, I feel like I've gone to the fair or something.

Like it's 70. Oh, yeah, right. Like you're rolling the balls up and do, do, do, do, do, do, like the horses are moving that way. Just really. I do like that they've got a screen component, too, though. Like, you can have like a monitor or an iPad or something that's also showing the. Yeah, what is that up there? Is that an app that comes with the thing?

No, I don't know. I don't know if I've, I don't know. I think there is an app that actually will announce it for you and does it randomly. I've only ever played it without that, but I'm pretty sure they have something that will kind of do that for you. If you go a couple more photos forward, Scott, there's like one, a larger one with a monitor that somebody's got. Take a look here. See if I can find it. Yeah, you see in the bottom there it says like the dice roll and then you have where the dice. I'm pretty sure there may be a good, but I really think that the

announcing of it with somebody, you know, like KT Data said it, it's more fun with a live person because especially if you get somebody. I mean, and we've been, got some great people that'll be in Vegas that just have some good booming voices and just the perfect personality for it. But I think you guys would absolutely love just the fun of this particular game. Yeah, it looks like the way these guys have done it. They've hooked

up speakers to it for the announcement part. But yeah, if we're playing this, would just be the announcers. Yeah, there's a bigger. And it goes like two to nine. And I think you could even probably play more than nine players. But that's kind of like nine is probably that break even point where you have too many

hands in a cookie jar. You know, throwing bets out there and also it's going to be limited to the spots on the board so that's probably why it's it's nine uh but it's great i mean you can play you play usually like three or four rounds and i think what you're supposed to do is kind of rotate but if you just have one person that wants to be the caller and then you just play three or four rounds add up how much money you got and stuff and then and then move on from there but it's it's a blast uh it is kind of a table hog but i mean you know it's a big it's a big party game it looks like you can play it on big TVs or whatever i guess this is probably just somebody's phone hooked up to this but it's probably just

Yeah, and I'm sure you can mirror it to something. Yeah, curious about that. But yeah, this is cool. Can I get this at like a, you know, Target slash, you know, Barnes & Noble? I don't know if this is mass market, but it should be pretty readily available because it was from AEG. It might be mass market now. I don't know if I've seen it out and about, but it should still be in print out there. I mean, it's not something that's that old where it was in print.

And especially since it was pretty popular, especially the first couple years it was out, that they should have probably made enough of them that there's probably plenty of them out there. When you see an image like this, do you just, does something happen to you? Do you just feel? No, because horse racing and betting on horse races, I can't even do it at a casino. There is so much crap that goes along with that and having to know so much. And I never feel like that's anything you can just walk up through a guess. Have you ever gone with somebody who like really knows what they're doing as far as horse racing goes?

Not with horse racing, no. Holy cow. So, you know, again, growing up in Long Island and Brooklyn, like Aqueduct is right over there. It's on Long Island. And I've been to Aqueduct with a buddy of mine from Brooklyn. And he just sat there and just the way that they can interpret. Because everything in those papers, they show you like the last little bit, how long those races were, where they finished, what their normal weights were.

Like, everything is like a big calculus. And it's like a beautiful mind when you see somebody interpreting all those things. And that's why people that are good, I mean, they can, for the most part, I mean, that's where the odds makers are. Like, you can kind of see who's the favorite and why. And then when they explain it to you, everything makes sense. But it's like another language. It's like even playing some board games. Like when you look at some boards and you're like, what the hell is that?

And then somebody teaches you in like 20, 30 minutes, you're like, oh, well, now I speak the language of this game. Sure. I know exactly what I'm looking at now. So, but it's, it is wild when you have somebody that knows what they're doing with horse race. Well, this is. And when my dad lived in Kentucky, we went to Keith. which is like a one of the race courses there i don't know if they i don't think they ever use it for the the big races the churchill downs or kentucky derby or anything like that but it's

um but we went there and we bet on the horses we spent a whole a whole day there um drinking mint juleps and betting i think pretty much i stuck to just betting on the favorites and probably still lost money because you know the long shot you do like the exact way you put a favorite in with like half the field as the second horse and stuff. Right, exactly. So when you're in Vegas and you go to a sports book at like almost any time a day, there's just usually like 10 different tracks up there. And it's like, there's guys going up there to like, let me have the five horse in

John's backyard, uh, in the fourth race in John's backyard. And there's like you say, like there's a dozen different races. So Circa, which is the best, the best sports book in Vegas right now, it is a ginormous wall of TVs and at any given time probably eight or 12 of those will be horse racing

one of them the big one it's like three stories tall or something and someone that got all flooded out remember the flood thing that was pretty good yeah yeah there's still people watching and bedding and stuff like that water

dripping from the ceiling or whatever or no I guess just just pooling on the floor that was nuts that day you know and the uh the pharmacy connection too so sometimes when you're in Vegas or or i guess otb or any of these betting things like they'll sometimes you'll see like the uh the four horse uh ibitz gamble is has Lasix you know and it's because basically that horse is being treated with like uh you know a really yeah so sometimes they're treated with a diuretic and then sometimes i can give them a little unvarri advantage but also sometimes it causes side effects where they start getting bleeds and stuff like that so uh you know that's

some things that goes into the things that the things that they have to disclose to to the betters and stuff. It's it's, you know. I only, I only know some of this stuff is because when I used to go to Vegas, we used to always go the second week in a football playoffs, because when you're watching football for whatever, eight hours, it keeps you off the tables. And then we would, we would go there early to reserve a table at the Mirage or the Bellagio, or the Mandalay Bay is where we used to stay. So we would go there and you would go there and you'd sit there so you can reserve these tables, which you couldn't reserve them, but if you're sitting there, it's okay.

We would bet the ponies for like four hours sitting there and rene all these things just so you can have a table for football. For football, right? It's like you're putting up with the opening act so you can stick around for the headliner and have good seats for the headliner, basically. Oh, yeah. You know it'd be great? You haven't lived until you watch football in a place like that during the playoffs, and James people were running around and like James Carville sat down with us and was just yucking it up. Of all people, that guy was yucking it up with us. It was hilarious.

His hair. He likes, I bet, yeah, his lack of. Yeah. I'll bet Madzula could send us a Hey, Dipshut's email about any of this because he knows a lot of stuff about it. He absolutely could. And what he would say is, forget the horse racing at the sports books. Go to Sigma Derby on the second level of the D because all you need is a bucket of quarters and you can sit there. You basically have a place to put your quarters in and eight buttons and it's all different combinations of numbers.

So you say, all right, I want one, five, and six. And if any of those numbers, if any of those things come up, then you win your prize. You don't have to know anything. These are all just little plastic garbagey horses. There's nicer ones in the plaza that actually have moving legs and stuff like that. This is your... I kind of want the cheesy ones. I kind of want the stupid ones.

It looks like that old magnetic electronic football thing we all had as kids or knew somebody who had where the players would just vibrate across the field. Yeah, that's why I love this stuff. Sit somewhere recorders having fun and get free drinks. Yeah, that's exactly. Like, you won't go through, you won't go through 10 bucks in an hour because it's such a slow play and it's so much fun. Everything's going on at the same time.

Seems like a great game to recommend then for people that found any of this interesting. Ready, set, bet is the name. It came out in 2022. It is well received, well reviewed, and I hope someone brings it. Sounds like KT Data might have it. It sounded like it. Yeah. He has it.

He has the deluxe edition. He was worried about size. So we'll see what happens there. Aren't we all? Aren't we all? He's driving. He doesn't need to worry about size. He's driving.

He's bringing a bunch of other shit, I think. That's true. Yeah. 18 cameras for your task. That's right. So I have a quick one. I'll go through this one real quick. This one may not have as many pictures out there.

I've got kind of a Google picture for you. But this one is a newer one from Queen Games. I'm pretty sure it's out now. I played it at Adam a couple of months ago when I went up there. This one is called Moonlight Market. This one is definitely another kind of lighter, very fun game. You play it for one to five players. And it's all about making a necklace, kind of an ornate necklace.

And there's a certain amount of colors in a necklace. And what you're doing is you're basically putting out a card. It's basically like kind of blind bidding in a way, but it's not really blind. It's just kind of bidding. So you'll have cards in your hand that go from, let's just say, I'm pretty sure it's like one to 13. Everybody will shuffle up their cards. They'll have like four or five in their hand.

And then what you do is your friends. putting a card down in front of one of the sets of the necklace pieces, depending on the color, and you're trying to win one of these sets, then you put it into your necklace. Once a necklace piece goes above three pieces, it then kind of, you're crap out. It's kind of like push your luck. You're crapping out, and you have to get rid of all these pieces. So at the end of the round, you're trying to have the most number. Now, all these pieces that you're putting together will have numbers on them from basically one to ten. There's also like multipliers. Some of them have multiple colors. You can put them in one or the other, but it's kind of all this push your luck to get

to three before you crap out. And the game lasts about five rounds. So after a while, you will actually have to clear off one of the colors. But just kind of how the numbers come out at different times. And then once you put a number in front of one of these areas, somebody else can come with a higher number and push you out. And then you have to move it. But you get a little bonus for pushing someone out that comes into play in the game.

But it's a real light, fun game. Again, I just basically explain the whole game for you. So that's what makes it a real Johnson game. Because if you can explain a game in like two minutes, it's right up the alley for Johnson. And it's really fun. You know, I got that. I got no, I got no, you know, my, my attention span is about, it's like a flea.

So I got to, I got to get those quick ones. I look to get small box too. Like you can, this is super portable, bring it with you, that sort of thing. Looks cool. Oh, yeah. And I think this one's only going to be about 20, 25 bucks. I mean, US, maybe, maybe it's up to, oh, wow, some, I've seen some here in miniature market for like 45.

I don't think it's going to be, it might not actually be, oh, there's a key market. some for 25 on BG. So that kind of seems like a normal price because it's not a very, very big box at all. It's one of those German games. I love the Germans, man. They make great, they make great poor games. Yeah, and this one is Queen Games.

They have a U.S. branch, but this one is built over there. So the prices shouldn't be coming up, and I think they do have a release already in the U.S. This guy named Dirk Hen made it. Dirk Hen, what a great name. Look at him. It looks like you. And Dirkend is a great design.

as well. He actually designed a very classic Wallenstein and Shogun, which are really good games with Cube Towers, which is really cool that a lot of people have kind of gotten into of late as far as trying to duplicate the fun

of the Cube Tower, because as you're dropping things into a cube tower, not all of the cubes are coming out, and that's what's great. I mean, the Game of the Year a couple years ago that I mentioned Marrakesh uses a cube tower as well, and it kind of really started with Durkan, with games. like Wallenstein. Nice. Dirk Hen. It's amazing.

All right. Don't forget. Write these down, everybody. They'll be in quickttms.l. But if you want to hear them again, it is Ready Set Bet from 2022 and Moonlight Market from last year. Both fantastic games. And let us know what you think when you play them. Dan, always good talking to you, man. I'm sorry we won't see you next week, but always. Yeah, and I wish I could. I mean, it's work. Work is a pain in the bottom. Hopefully I can put it in early enough next year. It's weird because when you have a trip, they're like, well, you can only You know, we ask off three months in advance. And then you ask off and it's like, oh, well, somebody's already there.

Somebody else is having a kid. Somebody else, you know, then somebody went into surgery. I'm like, what in the world is going on in my workplace? Right. Surgery's babies. Man, slow down everybody. But hopefully, definitely report back if you guys end up playing, ready said bet.

I really love to hear, you know, what you guys think of it and how much fun you know. And what other games you played. It's just as much fun for me to see, you know, hear about people what games they had fun playing as it is to play the game with people sometimes. But there's nothing better than meeting everybody from the Tadpool out there. So I really hope you guys have fun and I really will miss everybody out there.

Yeah, we're going to miss you, man. Hey, don't forget, tell people where they can find more of you. Give them your show and stuff. Well, you can find me on the Geek All-Stars podcast. We're recording tomorrow and I've got a new show coming out.

So check that out, Frogpants.com. dot TV if you want to watch live and the frog pants later or the podcast later that's going to do it for us let's get out of here brian let's play a song and get the f out unless you've got anything else uh you know it's funny i was going to talk about daily music headlines as part

of the request because there's a connection so all right uh interestingly enough uh jamie tms mashups uh wrote in and said hey scoot and boot if it ain't broke don't fix it yesterday which was two days ago marks two years that me and my girl have been to together. It's been a tumultuous time for me, but as Johnny Nash famously said, I can see clearly now the rain is gone. I turned to the covermaster to play a song to commemorate this momentous occasion, where I started dating my best friend and the best thing that has ever happened to me. She is such a blessing in my life, and I love her dearly. We're going to get to meet them in Vegas. Yeah, excited. It'd be great. Despite any major critiques or potential shortcomings that one

might be inclined to observe or articulate, I must emphatically assert that I harbor a deep seeded in enduring admiration, nay, a genuine affection for the overall production in question. Jeez. That's the longest that's been expanded. That's the biggest. It certainly is. Absolutely. Signed, Jamie, TMS mashups. P.S. Scott, I didn't forget about you, my guy. I need a quick clip or two of you losing your shit playing scary video games. Oh, Lord. I'll give you one. There. That's all you care. You go. Perfect. That's a good one. So Jamie said, oh, we love James T. T.W. John K. Fly by Midnight, Forest Black, Teddy Swims, et cetera.

Well, that last one hooked me in because I'm a big Teddy Swims fan as well. As a matter of fact, Teddy Swims just broke. This was one of the news articles today on Daily Music Headlines, but Teddy Swims just broke the record for a song that has spent the most weeks ever in the top 10 of the buildboard Hot 100, where it's been for the song was loose control, and it's been there for 58 weeks. Prior to that,

blinding lights by the weekend was there for 57 weeks. So we'll see how much longer he stays in and creates a new record that somebody has to beat. It's also spent 87 weeks total on the Billboard Hot 100 tying with Imagine Dragons radioactive.

And there's only two times that have spent more time on the Hot 100 heat waves by glass animals and blinding lights again by the weekend with 90 weeks total. Jeez, the weekend did all right for a guy that only works Friday through Sunday, not bad. That's right. Almost two years, the blinding lights stayed in the billboard. The daft punk collab one with that punk? Or am I thinking of something else?

I think that's that song, right? No, that was Starboy was the collab. Yeah, but, oh, right. but that song wasn't on that album. I don't remember. They also collaborate on blinding lights. Those were only, those are the only songs of his

that I really, actually, really, really like. Everything else that I can probably, I can do away with. Although his, his work, his Ariana Grande duet and his one he did with Post Malone are both excellent. But most of his solo stuff

without daft punk, it doesn't really work for me. Yeah. That's just me. Yeah. Yeah, sure. Anyway, Teddy Swibbs, lose control.

Let's listen to it. cover of it. This is by Madeline Bailey. She released this as an acoustic single last year. And this really showcases those great, great vocals in the chorus that the range that you have to have to be able to sing Teddy Swims. Here is Madeline Bailey. Something's got a hold on me, lady. No, I don't know myself anymore. Feels like the walls are all closing in And the devil's knocking at my door Oh

Out of my mind How many times did I tell you I'm no good at being alone It's taking a toll on me Trying my best to keep From tearing the skin of my bows Don't you know I lose God true
