The morning stream. Get your bleep and tannical out of my face. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025. Scott Johnson here. Brian, I bit there. Hi. Hi. Hi, Scott. How are you? Hi. I'm good, man. You know, just making it real, taking it. One

day at a time, one minute at a time. Sure. It's all you can do. It's all you can do. We were talking pre-show about how when we were kids, our expectation for how long a thing would take to get to us was six to eight weeks. And now I'm mad that Amazon's a day late on one thing. No kidding.

Isn't that crazy? Yeah. Totally true. I've got a replacement motor for one of my 3D, like my curing station that is coming from China. And it just is so, it feels like it's like glacial. that this thing is coming and uh yeah even that thing that i got that i sent to you when did i send that saturday it comes tomorrow to you i think yeah yeah even that feels like man uPS why

couldn't you do any quick but it's just so like a today problem yeah you know and just because we're not amazon with their drones and our 900 000 trucks just because we're not them anyway uh it's good to see you all we're going to do a show for you today and we got a lot of stuff to talk about and I'm going to start it off with a bit of a complaint oh no okay all right there me register this complaint I know we had the complaint music before I used to I don't really have a good one now let's see I could do something dumb like this is about the jugs of pee sure why not that sounds like a complaint I'd like to complain about the jugs of pee please yeah it seems like something you would complain about possibly people would complain about

But anyway, you know these Oreos we tried yesterday? The Post-Malone Oreos? The Post-Mallon Oreos, yes. Gosh, if I just look real close here, I'd notice that an entire row of those are gone. And that happened without much work at all. These are addicting as hell. Do you open from the end? You don't use their built-in, like top window?

This doesn't have one. It does. Where is it? It's on one side. Let's see. Is it on left to right, right to left? I will spell down there. It's by the peak.

oh you know what this is about the jugs of pee i didn't grab it you know what though it's very well blended in so i don't i don't blame you yeah i didn't even notice that you can access the the back row the other side yeah um yeah i eat way too many of these my goal was to eat one or two at the most and then they were so good like get these hens good they're going over here now i know i'm in the same boat and tina tina had a couple but i'm really to blame for how many of the many of those are gone yeah i don't understand though why why are so many of their flavors a little bit not great and then these are just like insane it's just the salted caramel and shortbread it is i think it might even be it's my favorite flavor even topping the uh original orio flavor yeah i think

so too i would take those if you give me a plate of either i would go with i'd go with those randy um randy is super big on the uh the lemon oreos oh yeah those aren't bad they're okay Those aren't bad. They're okay, but these... The lemon ones are a little after-tasty, a little bit. They are, yes, a little bit. Stephanie, no correction. They are not always on Oreo packages. There are some, when they had those weird flavors a few years ago that we were getting sent by Mary Heiden.

I don't want to call her Heisenberg. I don't want to name her after the Breaking Bad character, but Mary Heidenberg, I think. Anyway, she was sending us any time there was a weird unusual flavor for Oreos, she would send us the packages. And I'd say only half of them actually had the pull tab on the top. There were a lot where we had to do the... Yeah, it's weird. I don't know what determines that, or if they just package them weird places. Yeah, produced at different factories or something.

Probably, if I had to guess, it's probably because they're going to make less of a specialized one, and that process is expensive to set up and do. all that or more expensive so they probably just don't do it for that reason I notice there's now a Selena Gomez flavor. Oh really? Yeah. What do you think those tastes like, Brian? What do you think Selena Gomez tastes like?

Tastes like only mangoes in the building is what it tastes like. Let's take a look here. I'll tell you. It is let's see Selena Gomez limited edition the flavor of the summer. Here we go. Selina Gomez Oreos have the classic chocolate

Oreo cookie on the outside, and a horchata-inspired cinnamon cream inside. Oh, chocolate and horchata. The early reviews say that it's quite good. That sounds really good, yeah. Here's an image. Just look at this. It's like a porn star. Wow.

Yeah, they're in ear, but they're in somebody's headphones there. That's what they are. Yeah, I don't think I like, I don't want to eat a cookie that I'm visualizing being pressed against my ear and then eating it. No, that's not cool at all. But, so it's got her signature basically. Okay. Yeah.

I mean, I'd try these. If somebody wants to send them, I'll give them a shot. It just feels like they could have done more. I mean, give us a different flavor of the outside cookie then. If you're just giving a cinnamon horchata for the inside. Yeah. I don't know. At least post-millum mixed it up and got the white on the one side, the black on the other.

Yeah. He's more racially inclusive than something. That's right. Exactly. Cookie racism. It's another DEI cookie. You got to, you have to get these quick, by the way. Let's see. They started selling yesterday, and once they sell out, they say they're done with these.

They're not going to put in the stores. Yeah. Really? Okay. So I don't know. We now live in an era where just about anybody of a certain popularity anyway can get a cookie made of them, I guess so. A cookie made or a McDonald's extra value meal or what do you think it would take for us to get our signature cookie? And what would it be? Oh, well, I mean, it would take a lot more, it would take a listener base the size of like a Mr. B. or something like that but what would our flavor be is a better question um it would either taste like a fish sandwich or uh oh man or uh tomato black tomato uh what else or it could be uh honey like a honey flavor thing that you know for don't like bees oh yeah yeah it has to be memable though right we can't get away of them right exactly all right if anybody at nabisco is listening wait are they nabisco who owns them

It is Nabisco, yes. Okay, I thought maybe they were their own thing. Well, I would have thought it would have been up in the corner, like the typical Nabisco thing. This package is so. Mondalez International is where I got this one. Oreo's parent company. I'll see who this says it is. I think it's Nabisco, but I could be wrong.

Oreo's American brand a sandwich, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay. Yeah, you're right. Mondalez International is nothing. Oh, produced by Nabisco in the States, though. Okay, there we go. Some kind of subsidiary deal, you know. Yeah.

Well, there you go. Cookies. What are you going to do? Put them in your mouth. Mandelaus Industries. That's right. I'm going to run out of a bathroom by pants down, yelling that. That's right.

That'll be great. Anyway, so thanks for being so addicting and post Malone FU. And we'll move on now to this email. Cool. Robert wrote in. Robert missed what this, what thing, what did I write here, what that thing was. Anyway, I'll just read it. You missed what that thing was.

I'll read it again because I don't remember. Morning Shih Tzu and Bisconi, Bisconi, Bicioni? Bissioni. Bissioni? I guess it's a dog, I'm guessing. Yeah, because I assume so because it's Shih Tzu. Yeah, because Shih Tzu is, yeah. We had a neighbor with, I think I've talked about, Kaka Shih Tchitzapoo.

Was the great thing? Yes, fantastic. So fun to say. Freak Shitsapoo. I was listening to a product recommendation for a device that will stop my dog from barking. Oh, I know what this is now. He just wants me to. Tell them where I got this.

Yeah. With all the Amazon and UPS delivery trucks in my neighborhood, my dog barks 30 to 40 times a day without trying to, while I'm trying to work. My favorite morning show promised a solution to this problem. I assume he means us. You know, I don't know. Yeah, yeah.

Says, does it actually work? What is the name of the device? Says, unfortunately, the only brand mentioned was Norelco, because Brian thought it looked like in Niroko. Because it looks like a shaver with the three, yeah. It does. It looks like you shave with this. Says, let's see, where is it?

Which it isn't. I know it's orange and makes two different noises. Well, it does that and then it does whatever the dog thing is. The only dogs can hear, or mostly only dogs can hear. Just as I heard Ripley go, when I did that. I'm sure. She can hear it through multiple walls. Why is he torturing me?

I wasn't doing anything. He goes, oh, well, shut up. Sorry, my dog's barking and reconsider my love for the show, though, Robert. All right. Robert from Hinder Tuckie, I'm going to tell you what this is. Let me just pull up my Amazon order. History. Yeah, I love that.

I meant to do it before, and I forgot to pull it up. Here we go. Okay, so this is called, my wife ordered too many vitamins. I have to scroll down. Here it is. Okay. This is called the bark deterrent device. This is made by Smurbsg.

I don't know how you say the name of this company. Here, I'll just put it up on screen, and then I'll give you an idea. Whoops, how to search for it. So it's dog barked deterrent device. anti-barking device for dogs, 3X ultrasonic to stop barking neighbor's dog. Okay, it's one of those, like, the title is 400 miles long. Yes, it's your SEO title right there. Absolutely.

But, yeah, it's made by Seamer. Seamer. Sebergerberg. Sebers, M.G. Yeah, and they got a bunch of these. I don't know why there's so many different kinds. Wow, no kidding. The same company, but the one I got was the relatively cheap ones, $29.99.

They shipped 70% off right now. Grab it. that they claim. That was such bullshit on that stuff. But anyway, it works. It absolutely works. The dog next door, in fact, not only did it stop barking when I aimed it and did it, the one time, I haven't heard it barked since.

Really? So I'm actually a little worried. It permanently shut that dog up. I'm actually a little worried one day we're going to find out. There are going to be some science that says, these are killing dogs slowly or something like that because it works so well. But it also comes to the light. So you get stuck in traffic.

think you can do a little bit of this or the blinking like i'm i'm in distress help me yeah yeah that's great i think it even does uh that's an sOS signal hold on probably i think it's doing yeah i think it's doing i don't know actually what that pattern is anyway totally worth it love it it's great and it gives you a nice close shave so go check that out smooth is a baby's bottom that's right jeff sire wrote in our old pal from canada Canadian. Canada. Here's what he says.

Regarding the shiboleth, the shiboleth. Scott and Brian, on Wednesday, you discussed Talley's suggestion of a TMS shibboleth, which led to a conversation about the motorcycle wave. Brian was unsure which hand bikers used to wave, but thought it was the inside hand, which is correct. The outside hand controls the throttle and cannot be released. So that's the one. Plus, it's like, you know, they wouldn't be able to see if it was the outside hand,

because they usually, it's usually, it's usually. usually low, like a low, you know, wave kind of thing like that. So if it was the outside hand, of course it wouldn't make sense. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense to me. It says, I have a throttle lock on my bike for short brakes on long rides or to adjust zippers on my left side. Adjust those zippers on my left side. Left side zipper.

That's pretty hot. It's my favorite swing band from the 90s. Left side zippers. They were so great. Real shame about the lead singer, though. Anyway, however, it is not cruise control. And if left on for more than a few seconds, things can get out of sync. I've ridden a little in the UK where you can drive on the left side of the road.

Bikers don't seem to wave at each other much in Europe. But if they did in the UK, you would have to use your left hand because of the throttle issue. I know the UK is not in the EU post-Brexit, but it's still part of the continent of Europe. Jeff Seyer, Crafton, Ontario, in Canada. Well, thank you, Jeff. I don't know if that was a jab at the EU, there at the end. I don't know, maybe. No, it might have actually been preventing the email.

that we were going to get on his behalf. Good point. I do this, and when I was talking about this, I don't know why I didn't bring it up, but when I pass a cyclist going the other way, which is about the only time I pass another cyclist, we do the wave too. But it's more like if you get your hands on your handlebars

and you do like that sort of thing. Like you just basically, you keep your palm on the handlebar and you just raise it up. Just a little subtle lift on there. I can see that. That would probably work. The international language of fellow cyclists. Yep, exactly. That's great.

But I'm sure you pass plenty of people coming from behind. I do. I pass a lot of cyclists. And I'll pass a lot during the MS-150 later this month, but I'll probably get passed by more than I pass. How likely is it for you to, what would it take for Brian to take top three position? Here's what I love. when you begin with a what would it take and it's always like the most the it feels like one of the most never going to happen kind of things but well I mean or one of

the most unlikely things like printing a giant star destroyer or me being one of the first three what would it take it may not be possible or probable but it is possible yeah it is okay you know what it is possible sure I'm always like what would it take for us to get our own Oreo cookie or what would it take for you to go into space right yeah but if you if you really had to do what you had to do. What would you have to do to get three third place, let's say. Let's say terrorists had my family and said the only way that I could save them is by being one of the first three to cross the finish line at the MS 150. Okay. Number one, I'd, I'd move our start time because we get to choose our start time for, they stagger it because of all the

different groups they're riding. Sure. And there's not really like a, you know, they don't have a metal stand or anything like that. It's a ride, not a race. You get through the finish line is the only, if you complete it, if you get through the finish line, you've won. You've won, and the hearts of all of us, you've won. No matter what. Now, I would hope that they'd give me a year to train,

and it really would be like daily, either on the spin bike inside or outside doing hill rides or fast rides or things like that. Because there are some, there are people who come to the MS-150 from around world because they are like hardcore cyclists and they just really want that feeling of passing everybody and getting to the finish line first for no recognition whatsoever. They just like doing it like riding. They just like doing it.

And I see these guys, I mean, they're the ones who have the calves that are like, it looks like they've shoved a giant cinder block into their skin above their ankle. It's like, you know, big square block of muscle. on each of their calves. Sure. And, yeah, that ain't me. Yeah, that ain't me. I feel like even if I had the family and duress motivation, I still would, there's no way.

Yeah. I mean, not the age of mat, not with the level of skill I would have. I feel like I'd just be screwed. Sorry, sorry, family. I'll do my best. I'll really peddle just hard as I can. Oh, sure, yeah. I mean, maybe there's that extra adrenaline motivation of just the fear of something

happening in your family. But it's, I mean, I'm even probably being very naive and saying, a year's worth of training would get me to the, you know, first to the finish line. The only saving grace is that 95% of the people doing it don't consider it to be a race. So I'm not really in comp, like, they're not going to see me passing them and be like, oh, I need to pour it on. They're going to be like, look at that schmuck, kind of like I do with all the schmucks that zip past me with cinder black calves. Sure.

Yeah, no. You know, but I assume even when this thing ends, so it's all over with, everybody's done. If you made it across, you're awesome. them. Everyone's doing this for a good cause and everything. But they still acknowledge somebody who won, right? Like somebody gets recognition for not at all. Even if the first guy goes over there and goes, wow, nobody cares.

Nobody cares. Nobody cares. Who's getting care? Nobody cares. That's great. I think that's good for a thing like this. It is because you, you know, it really centers the focus on what it should be, which is raising money. They don't even care if you finish the race. You get a, you get a medal even if when they pulled us off the race. race because of lightning and

you know basically did it did not finish they still gave us medals the year I was sick I still got a medal for the second day um rode the first day with what turned out to be the flu and then I got a medal the second day when I'm like I can't do it oh yeah you were really sick that year

I was really sick yeah that was such bad timing and it just made me more I think it just that the first day's ride just the adrenaline again adrenaline of pumping the pedals and making it like okay feel really good and then came down and it was like my body was just so wiped out it was super vulnerable and the virus said oh look at this open field boys it's it's it's dinner time and bribes on the

menu or whatever it is yeah you had that thing really laid you out I remember it wiped me out but we'll see what happens this year you know I'm every year my my goal is make it to the next rest stop my overall goal is yeah I'd like to complete the ride But you don't eat an elephant in one bite. You have to eat it by slicing it in small parts. I'm still eating this year's elephant. I'll probably won't be done until August. Exactly, yes.

Yeah. You hope you've got a good freezer for all that. Oh, yeah. Your elephant meat, you better stock up for a way for that. Oh, you know what I made last night on the griddle scott? If it is an elephant meat, forget. It wasn't okay. It was an elephant meat.

What did you make? Perfect. Perfect for that. They sell shaved beef at the old Kroger. I was like, oh, my God, we're going to go to get a slicer or borrow the neighbor's slicer and get a prime rib and do that. No, no, no. They sell the shaved beef and peppers, onions, provolone, salt pepper. Oh, my God, it was so good.

I didn't do that. I'm not doing the cheese whiz. I'm doing the provol. Oh, yeah, you got to. I mean, as much as I respect that there's this weird cheese whiz thing. I think that's great. You guys, you know what? Your traditions are cool.

It's funny. It's great. But you know what? I'm going to do real cheese. That's what I'm doing. Yeah. Yeah. Do real cheese.

Exactly. That's how we do it in Colorado and Utah. All right? And I'm going to, you know, I'm going to do another rave for the Blackstone YouTube channel. It's actually got really good, really good recipes and really good instructions. The ones, see if I can find. Blackstone Betty. Blackstone Betty is one of the people that does...

Oh, here we go. Here, Philadelphia Cheese Stakes. This might be a good one. Let's see if this one has her weird. She looks like she's filming this right after going through a wind tunnel. Just the one you based on... This is one whose recipe I used. Let's take a look here.

Yeah. Pull this bad boy up. Oh, my gosh. I'm hungry already. All right. I know, you look at this, and it's like... So her name's Betty? Is that who's this?

Yeah, Betty, and she goes by Blackstone Betty. This is one of her more crazy hairstyles, but there are times where she looks like she is... She just came out of a wind tunnel and is going to teach you how to make a cheese steak. Oh, my gosh, this looks so good. It's really, really good. So that's interesting.

Do you think they have... Yeah, that's the key right there. You put the bun on top of the meat. You let it soak up some of the juices as it's cooking. Yeah. And then you like slide your little spatula underneath it flip it over and boom you're Bob's your uncle she looks like

she needs to talk to the manager with that haircut I'm just saying it's fine you know whatever sometimes managers need to be talked to I hear she is with her different hairs oh yeah oh gosh she also has

some of the most prominent you know as artists I'll loosely lump myself into that category but you know the the lines that come down from the side of the nose that accentuate your cheekbones and kind of push and create those little lines. She's got very prominent lines. Yeah, if you ever need some, let's see, I'll pull it up here and just show everybody.

If you need like to really look at how your face is made, that's a pretty good. There you go. Yeah, there's those cheek lines. That's great. Well, I want everything she's cooking and I want what you made last night. So bring it over to the house. Okay. Okay. We'll do it.

We'll go cold by the time. it gets to you, but I'll put it in a FedEx package and send it to you. I will say this. If you are in the South Jordan area and you're lazy and don't want to make your own, I had a thing over at the Angry Korean, does it's name of this Korean place. And we love the Angry Korean. They do

kind of fusiony weird combos of stuff, but it's all got Korean kind of basis to it. So if you get the burrito, it's like Bugogi and beef and it's really, really good. But they have a Philly cheese steak Korean style thing. Yeah. Imagine, because I mean

basically starts with the same same really thin sliced shaved state it's so good dude oh my gosh kimchi in there see and i've got some extra of that shaved beef oh we don't have any kimchi though man you could use it for almost anything though right i could yeah oh yeah i'm hungry for your leftovers i mean i'm thinking about for lunch just throwing some of that on the griddle and and some eggs and just doing kind of like a you know a slight shaved beef scramble sure we still have some rolls too you got any peppers left you can throw those in there and a little yeah i do i mean basically it would just be a cheese steak with egg that sounds really good right now it kind of does right yeah oh my gosh all right everybody while you're all hungry it's time for us to to get the

news going we're going to do that right now here comes the news get ready for the news it's time for the news brought to you by brought to you by the ms 150 talked about it a minute ago but that is the big bike ride not race ride that i'm going on at the end of this month to raise for multiple sclerosis. If you have not yet donated or you want to donate more or you just haven't donated, you want to donate a little bit, whatever you want to do, visit tiny.cc slash bike coverville. This actually is a really good week to do it. They don't usually do this in a season, but they're doing another matching week.

So if you make a donation this week, it's really double what you're donating. Very nice. Get in there now. It's time. I mean, Brian's already done incredibly. well here but you know why not over yeah i'm at the 33 close to 3 300 bucks raised um not a not a record for me but definitely way up there um and uh you know there's nowhere to go but up yeah look at all this chode butter on display look at all that these guys it's a lot of chobberer this is the left-hand

brewery guys oh man not a fan it's like it's like a thousand of them and they're all they're all really good at bike riding and they do mountain biking and they do road biking oh they're They got like a whole guild for the whole country and all that. They do. Totally, totally do. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, what is you got to do? All right. So, anyway, tiny.ccc slash bike coverville. You know, even if it's five bucks, ten bucks, small amounts are just fine.

It all goes to a really, really good cause. And I think, like I've said this before, we're going to find a cure for MS sometime in our lifetime. That'd be awesome. Yeah. That'd be really great. Are they showing specific, like, progress that they report on? They're showing a lot of really good progress of, like, markers, specific markers that they're able to identify now, that they weren't able to before, that they can pinpoint for targeted treatment. And that's cool.

Very cool. Roovesty Cat Laugh says, L-O-L, a guild. They called stuff like that a guild? I mean, a guild, sure. Sure. There's, like, woodworking guilds. There's all sorts of stuff like that. Gilds aren't just.

I mean, they call them a team. for the bike ride, but might as well be a guild. There'd be no reason not to call him a guild, and it would be fun to be the, you know, where they ain't too proud to sag guild. That's right. It's just another way of saying a group, just because you play too many video games.

That's not our problem. All right, Rufus T. Cat. Just kidding. Japan. Guilds exist in a long time before your Warcraft. That's right, buddy. Japan says no to your stupid names, Brian. Oh, geez.

Not to you specifically. Your names are fun. Oh, okay. Okay, Tomagachi. Yeah, right. Here's what the SLGuardian.org says about Japan. Japan has enacted new regulations to curb the use of Kira Kira flashy or unconventional baby names.

That's how they call those. Like, oh, your name is Kira, Kira. Yeah. Effective from May 26, 2025, and moving forward. That is exactly one year from the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, which is no connection to this at all. Wow. It says these names are often atypical Kanji

readings or references to pop cultures, such as Pikachu or pudding. So no calling your child pudding? I guess not Japan. Non-Japan. Key aspects of the reform are this. Mandatory pronunciation disclosure. Parents are now required to specify the phonetic reading or the figuregana.

Furi gana. Furi gana, which sounds like a hairy country. Anyway. Of their child's name when registering it. This would not go well in the States. We would all lose our money. Oh, my God. You'd like, take it away the freedom for me to name my child, whatever I want.

Yeah, this wouldn't go down. Like Elon alone would, you know, this would break all of Elon's gaming conventions. Now that you mention it, maybe we should do it because his are stupid. His poor kids, man. Backspace percentage signs star underscore. Yeah, it ain't good. Assessment criteria. Local authorities will evaluate the proposed names based on specific guidelines.

Names may be rejected if their pronunciation contradicts the meaning of the kanji, lacks a clear connection to the characters used, or is deemed contrary to the child's best interests. I'd love to know how they deem a baby, like basically a name is contrary to a baby's best interest. Yeah, so let's say you name him Yoshi, but you do it not based on the traditional name of Yoshi in Japan, which is a very traditional name. Which actually is very common, yeah. Yeah, but you're doing it, you're specifically because you like the dinosaur in the Mario series. Do you have to get that checked? Do they have to verify?

I guess so, yeah. No, I mean the historical Yoshi from Samurai Times, feudal Japan. Kirby, I just, I want my child's name to be Kirby. What's wrong with that? Yep. But see, here, like someone in the chat, Dr. Cahun says, Hitler. Yeah, that's a good point. That would, that would deem conjure the child's best interest would be harm if you named a child Hitler.

But you could do it here, and there's nothing anybody could do about it. Over there, I guess not. Right. I wonder how Germany is with Hitler, or Adolf. I wonder if they're worried about it. I know. It just feels like Adolf's, you know, forget the surname, but boy, Adolf, just the whole name just fell into a bad, got canceled. No, Adolf.

No, I don't know any Adolf. Never met one. Cors is an Adolf. The guy who founded Kores, Adolf Kors, but. Oh, really? When was he, he's probably right at the same time. Yeah, it's a good question. When was he born?

Probably a big drop-off at 40, 42, 43, if I think so. Adolf Coors was born 1847, so, okay, is, you know. Yeah, he's okay. He was around before, in fact, he was born before Adolf Hitler, I think. Hitler was born 19-0 something. Exactly, yeah. I think. I want to say, if not the late, if not the early 1900s of the very late 1890s.

Yeah. No, anyway, don't name your kid Hitler, is all we're saying. Yeah. Here's the other bit of this. The cultural and administrative motivations behind this. The move aims to prevent potential issues such as bullying or administrative confusion arising from unconventional names. It also supports the digitalization of public records by standardizing name readings. This reform reflects Japan's effort to balance parental freedom in naming with societal norms and the welfare of children. While some view it as a necessary step to protect children, others express concern about.

about potential bureaucratic overreach and the subjective nature of assessing a name suitability. Yeah, that wouldn't happen here. No, no. Not that we need to, but. No, you know. I don't know why it's such a big deal. Maybe we need to look at, can we get just like a list of all of the birth record of all the babies born in Florida yesterday and just kind of scroll down the list of names and see what we had?

Yeah, what do you think we'd get in there? If we just did yesterday, I'm probably going to have a couple of us. Peterbilt, at least one. A couple of Peterbilt's. Hey, Peterbill. There'd be a Schlitz. You got Schlitz and Peterbill. You get your ass in here as dinner time.

Damn it. I ain't going to. What do you mean I can't name my child, Kit Rock Johnson? What are you talking about? Man. It's just such an on them problem, you know? It really is. I don't know why government should care.

Well, puts it on the poor kids is unfortunately. Like the parents, no skin off their nose unless they're going to be the ones paying for the therapy. It's the kids who are going to have to suffer from that. I think people should change their names more like Rip Torn did or it's another good one. Tom Cruise instead of whatever the boring name was he had. Or wasn't John Wayne was a Gertrude or so, some weird like. Almost a lady name. Yeah.

Hold on a second. It's Marion. That's right. Marion Robert Morrison. I think I would have changed that to the most dude name ever, John. Yes, John. Marion. Marion, yeah.

It's not quite the Duke without the John in there. No, no, for sure. All right. Speaking of MS-150-style things, the longest marathon, but in this case, playing basketball, the record was broken yesterday or a couple days ago. Okay. The longest marathon playing basketball is now 121 hours, three minutes, and 20 seconds. This is achieved by most, which is a group of men, called men.

opposing sex trafficking here in the States. That's pretty cool. In Fairbairn, Georgia, I don't know if Amy or Chuck knew where that is. This was, let's see, oh, March 16th to the 21st. Yeah, it was in March. A group of men in this country, or in the city, played a continuous basketball game for 121 hours in three minutes,

setting a new Guinness World Record. The event was organized by the nonprofit men opposing sex trafficking, which they already told us, to raise funds and awareness for anti-traffic. making efforts. The previous record shattered by this. So here's a question. Was it like

you know, only six men on the field or on the court at one time, but they had like a bench of 12 or 14 so they could all take breaks and stuff? Really good question. Let's see. But I'm see if they'll link off to something. They raised over

300 grand, which is cool. Oh, that's awesome. They don't say anything about so there was applications for this. You had to be 16 years of age or older, but they don't say anything else about the rules. They want you to apply to beat it is what they want. Of course. Yeah. Longest basketball game honors. Okay.

Well, let's give it to me. Maybe this will do it. Oh, yeah, there's some pitchers and stuff. Okay. Here we go. Here's the team. Oh, that's a big team. I think they probably, but like real basketball, you swap in and out.

Which is good. I mean, that means, you know, you don't. didn't have six guys all playing for 121 hours. By the way, how, what, I should know this, how many, how many players, how many players per team are on the court at one time? Five at five, okay. Yeah. All right.

So you have the stinkiest gym of all time. That's what I'm saying. Yes. Oh, yes. And, you know. There's no way this gym doesn't smell like death has rolled over at the place. If you're going that long for that many days straight, you got a crowd the whole time, by the way. The crowd feeding in and out.

Wow. Up there, cheering them on. The crowd, uh, also. so rotated in and out like all right I'm going home to go sleep I've got somebody coming in to relieve me yeah for the course of the record breaking thing let's see Nick the players and the

okay trying to make a positive this is all very good um on top of breaking the incredible record the foundation was also able to raise more than 60 grand for mental health organizations so even more money yeah that's cool

also I used to be able to play a lot of basketball and I don't anymore but I used to be able to play a lot of basketball and I don't anymore But I used to love it. Man, I miss playing. I need to find some slow old people like me to play. Like the, get some geriatric league going.

Yeah, because I was, you know, I was all right. I was tall. Yeah, you're a tall guy. You got a big advantage right there. A lot of shots. I wasn't a great shot, but it didn't matter. I was doing mostly defense, defense, defense. You know, you could find a bunch of like-minded people who were also just wanted to kind of start out with an easier pace.

But then the more you do it, the better you guys will get and faster and won't have back problems, it'll be good for you. Yeah, it would be. And I'm, you know, I'd pick it right back up probably. It wouldn't be that hard to get back into it. If Travis lived around here, I'd play with him because he's nice and tall. And who doesn't want to guard a guy with a huge beard? Exactly. Yes.

That's not a sweaty mess. He could actually hide the ball in his beard occasionally and be like, I don't know where, I don't know where it is. Oh, you could ponytail it up and do like full on. full on like, you know, let's go get donuts in Oregon looking guy. Right, right. I like that. That's funny. All right.

Well, well, well done, guys. You broke your record and made a lot of money, and that's good. All right, here's a fun one. Okay. Once named the world's ugliest animal, the blob fish wins the New Zealand fish of the year. Did John Oliver have anything to do with this? It's my only question. It feels like a...

Help, maybe you got a little limelight on it. Yeah. Yeah, I probably did. Yeah. I saw that bit, too. That was pretty great. Oh, did he talk about... I don't know if he talked about this, but the other stuff.

Like the, what was the bird? He got some bird, some New Zealand bird to win the bird of the year. Right. Because he... I don't remember what that was, though. What was the bird? It was like the something Anua or something like that. It, like, had a very Maori name with like a Kimahehajua or something like that.

Do you see the new season of... Puttiki, tiki, that's it, puttiki. Puttiki, tiki. Did you see the new season of blood, death, and robots, or whatever it is, love death and robots? I have just two episodes left, one of which is the Red Hot Chili Peppers, so. Oh, what order did you? That was the first one in my order. It's funny, because the way you guys were describing it, it gave them to me in a very different order.

I didn't know. It did. Maybe it does that on purpose. Maybe. Let's see. The order it gave them to me, because I remember when you were talking about, oh, the first one is this. And this was like, oh, that one's pretty good, yeah. But it was more like a, I mean, it was just like a concert recreation.

It was fine. So my, the first one for me was the close encounters of the mini kind, which was great, the little miniature tilt shift. You know, for the thing that tilt shift and zoomed the camera way out, they sure rendered weeners real well in that. They sure did. Boy, yeah, they did. That guy in the cow. Oh my gosh. Spider Rose.

Then how Zeke got religion. The other large thing, which I think was my favorite. 400 boys, the screaming of the Taranisar. I love 400 boys. 400 boys is so cool. Yeah, it's really good. The Tyrannasaur is cool,

except I don't need Mr. Beast in it. Take him out. Yeah, right. Agreed. F that shit. That ruined that whole thing. I don't need YouTubers in there. Yeah.

By the way, he claims right now, he just did a thing yesterday where he's claiming that he has no money, no real working money, and that he's borrowing money from his mother for his wedding. I call bullshit. I exactly yes he says all I reinvest it all it's all millions and millions I put right back in so I really don't have much money like working money I don't know man I think uh I think he's exaggerating something yeah did they pay you nothing for this spot in right blood death and row or I keep saying blood love the death and robots I love death and robots and killing yeah I hated that one I didn't hate it but I liked almost everything else about it I just

don't need him as the host. It could have been anybody. Agreed. No, it was really cool. Like writing the Triceratops and fighting and stuff, like a road rash kind of thing with Triceratops, very, very cool. Yeah, sci-fi super sport thing. What was Brad?

I did like the, I mean, I think my favorite is definitely the Chris Parnell cat, the other large thing. Which is why I brought it up, because that robot is, you were just saying his name. Chris Parnell. No, the other guy. Well, the cat was Chris Parnell. Yeah, Parnell was a cat. The robot was John Oliver. John Oliver.

Oh, right, right, right, yes. Yeah, which is where I was going in the first place, but I forgot where I was. Anyway. No, but can I tell you, you and I talked very early on if we were going to watch a certain thing. And I said, you know what, it just looks trashy, but I might, and you were like on the fence about it. Let me tell you that Dr. Odyssey will not be showing up on any of my recommendals anytime soon. And this is the new Joshua Jackson is a doctor on a cruise ship. Oh, I hated it.

You did watch it? My wife watched part of it. Yeah. And so I watched part of it. And I immediately went, this is terrible. I'm not watching this. It's terrible. It is the most, it's like, all right, it's niptuck.

It's clearly, you know, Falchuk's niptuck formula. Oh, it's so bad. It is so freaking bad. It is our, it is our, we just watched something horrible. Let's a little bit of eye bleach before we. go to bed. We'll watch a little bit of Dr. Odyssey. The acting's bad. I expect so much more from Don Johnson and Joshua Jackson. And when I see those two are involved, I go, all right. This seems interesting. Let's go all in. Let's make the pit, but on a boat. Nope. No, it's, it is more

love boat than the pit. That is for sure. And it's not even, it's not even good love boat. No, no. In fact, that's the biggest beef I have is that if they're going to go one way, then go hard. Yeah, exactly. But they don't pick a lane, even as a non-medical expert, I see everything they do medically, and I go, that isn't how that works. No, no. It sucks. It's really, it's so, so bad.

Some people really like it, but I don't because they like trash. Look, I appreciate people who like trash TV. Enjoy your stuff that you like. I like some stuff I know some people don't like. I get it. I've been watching the Rockford files. A lot of people don't want to go back in time and watch Jim Rockford do shit. Okay.

I understand. But that show sucks. Sorry. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It's just bad. Yeah. Yeah. Nope. Yeah. Don't, don't do it. Stay far away from Dr. Odyssey. If you can, do it. Anyway. September says she's watching a terrible show called Lex. It's great, terrible, though. It's the sci-fi thing, right? September?

I don't know what that is. Never heard of it. Lex. Old 90s sci-fi lawnmower man kind of special effects. But really weird. It's like, it's like red dwarf without the quality. It's a British? No, I don't think so. I don't know what that is. But there's a, there's a woman on there that, my goodness, blue hair, like white blue hair.

And Ava Haberman, I think is her name, actress. Canadian, okay, it's Canadian. Oh, okay, not American, may as well be American. L-E-X-X, right? There it is. Brian Downey, Michael McManus Haven't heard of these people Yeah, she was on early seasons of, let's see

Like for Eva Haberman if she's on there Eva, Eva, Eva, I don't see her either There's no Eva Haberman This reviews okay, scores all right I don't know what, oh my gosh It looks kind of bad It's so lawnmower manny looking Makes you kind of want to watch it now

Yeah I like bullshit TV, it's fun Oh yeah for sure Yeah Especially in the background where you don't have to think too hard you know. Yep. Yep.

All right. Anyway, the blobfish. Blobfish. It was once crowned the world's ugliest animal. It is now the, and now the disgruntled looking gelatinous blobfish has a new name going for it, which is New Zealand's fish of the year. The winning species, which is called the psychrolyutis, psychotilus marsidius. Marcidius. Marciliotis Marcytis.

Sure. Yeah. It's just basically them trying to. trying not to do blobfish. Like blobfish is the most accurate name for any fish ever. Yeah, they're trying to fancy this up, and that's not possible. Look at the thing. God, it's the ugliest.

It's in no world is that not the ugliest fish ever. The winning species is believed to be 130 years old, the actual, not the species, but the actual one they're looking at. Yeah. So they live a long time. still growing and slow moving says Conrad Kurta a spokesman from the mountainous sorry mountains to sea conservation trust

they do this annual competition in New Zealand trying to pick a fish sure it just sort of sits there and waits for prey to come very closely and then practically walk into its mouth before it eats them that sounds like the way I live this is how I do it yeah I just open my mouth and hope the food

falls in yeah they're a very dedicated parent he says with females laying up to 100,000 eggs in a single nest which they will then protect until they hatch with their very lives. Wow, with that giant nose. Yeah, look at that. Some goo coming out of its mouth. Like, look at that. It's just, just foul. It really is effed up. And it looks so sad to be that ugly. Like, it's a, you know, it's like a old 1930s hobo drawing of a sad. If somebody said, if somebody said they knew how to really prepare it well, would you eat a blobfish?

Um, sure. I mean, if they, you know, if they said it's delicious and I can make you a blobfish steak, yeah. Okay. You trust, it just have to be a trusted, you know. It would have to be a trusted, like a chef that has done well for me in the past. To be like, okay, I'll, I'll try a blobfish filet. Nice. Well, that's what you do.

I doubt. I just feel like it, uh, yeah, it can't be, West says it has to be served with a head looking at me said. Nope, nope, no tail, no head. Oh, yeah, no, I mean, yeah, we're, the ugly part, we're, we're, not eating that. Yeah, yeah. We're eating the meat, wherever that is in this thing. Right, exactly, yes.

That's all fat, no lean looking at, but based on that. It's also the only fish I can think of that I've ever seen that kind of has a nose. Yeah. Like, whether the fish has like a noticeable nose outside of like a... Is it manatees that kind of look like they also have a nose? A little bit, yeah. Yeah. They get that big flubbery thing.

Yeah. Except they're, what are they? Are they mammals? They're not really... They are, they're mammal. animals, yes. They're close, though. But that thing, I mean, that's it may as well be a guy.

Yeah. That's a guy who's having some trouble. As doctor said, lay off the bacon, you know. That's him actually coming back from the doctor's office, too. That is the look of him coming from the doctor's office. Like, I can't have any more cholesterol. Oh, no. Oh, bird.

Oh, no. All right. We got, we're going to take a break. When we come back from this break, we're going to have Bill Duran joining us. You know him from all the stuff he makes? Well, he's going to talk about some of that today. It's going to be fantastic. Always love talking to Bill.

You either approve them or say no. and you get some really good stuff that way.

What happened to me? I missed the fire, the fire that I used to burn. I missed the fire, the fire that I used to learn. The fate and the miles, they don't. look like me the motions and trials I miss them sending me free what happened to me I used to be so

carefree and home what happened to me I used to be so naive and dumb I'm feeling in need for who I was I should have taken more risk I should have fought for love Soon or later I'll regret what you haven't done

Soon or later Your regret losing time. someone Yeah, I used to have fire Yeah, for life and love, I had more desire What happened to me, I used to be so carefree Yeah, was that happiness, oh What happened to me?

I used to be so naive and don't do what I miss. What happened to me? I used to get so lost and still wrong. What did I? What happened to me? Oh. Whose fault is it if my life is bored? What is there to love now that I ignore me?

But it looks very expensive. I could have fixed some dinner at home. Yeah, only I wanted to celebrate, and you're a terrible cook. Now, if you've got any objections, I'd be liking to hear them now. It's your hat, brother. You made a wise decision. Hello, everybody. We're back from the song. Brian, what's the deal with that song? Tell me about it again. Absolutely. That was Abby London and the title track from her release. What Happened to Me? Oh, that's fantastic. It's great. Such good stuff. Track it down. Listen to it more. Be there or be square. Check this out, y'all. There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill? Oh, look who it is. It's our old pal Bill Duran joining us all the way.

from the Pacific Northwest and the home of Punished Props.com. Bill, what's going on, man? Hello, you all hear me fine? We sure do. Where are you calling us from? Are you on a phone? Are you on a desktop? What are you doing there? What do you go? I'm on a laptop. Oh, that works great. Okay.

We'll take you however we can get you. You can hear us okay, right? Yeah, this is awesome. Yeah, it works pretty good. You've never sounded so clear, even on a laptop. It's fantastic. Do I sound like I picked up a cold while I was down in L.A.? Yeah, a little bit. A little bit, you do. Did you, you got to stop kissing Adam Savage.

You can work with him. Oh, damn it. But you got to stop. Keep in mind. Yeah. It's right there in the name. He is untested. So, you know, it's your own risk.

You know what? It was worth it. That's always worth making out with Adam Savage. Maybe not with Jamie Hindman. Anyway, hey, it's good to have you here, man. We're happy to have you here, of course. And the reason we have Bill on is many reasons. One, we really just like him.

But two, he's inspiring with all the cool stuff he makes. and he's going to tell us about something cool today. So what's going on there, Bill? A couple things. First one, I got my photos back TMS Vegas. I remember last time I was talking about the film photos I took, and at that time it was a hope and a dream that they came out. Well, they did come out.

And if anyone wants to see them, they're in the Frog Pants Discord in the Meetup Photos channel, right, dumped them all. Yeah, see. So if you haven't been, if you're not part of our Discord, go to Frog Pants, dot com slash discord and then in there is a frogpants meetups channel and under that you'll find meetup photos and bill flooded the place with them and you can tell these are like cut above everybody's digital drops right there's something a little different about them yeah and you didn't know when you took them if they were going to be any good which i love i love that and that's part

of it yeah yep too good they came out great um i got the negatives um and uh the company that process the film scan them for me. It's how I got those pictures. But I also have the negatives and I can scan them myself and do all sorts of fun stuff with them. Nice. Nice, nice. Expect more of that. I'm having fun with the film. Yeah, go check it out. There's some really good ones. I'll just share this one of Nicole because it makes me laugh. Here you go, chat. This is Nicole hanging out in the arcade, just making a face. I love that one too. Just the, just the fact you can tell it's a traditional film photo. Look at that cool lens flare glow on that light up in the scene.

Yeah, that's very cool. And you got a nice little blurred out, Dr. Tolbert in the foreground. You got a little mid-blur on Jamie, TMS matchups. And then Nicole giving us the best face she's ever made. Fantastic. Well, anyway, that's great. Yeah, go check them out, everybody. They're all up in the Discord for your perusal.

So I just got back from Los Angeles. Boy, your arm's tired. My arms are tired. A bit of a whirlwind trip I had a lot of things to do down there And I've got them all done I dropped off a large prop that Brittany and I made For a big production that we'll be talking about later this month

I spent two days making and filming stuff with Alice Spagnola Which is always a riot Yeah What's her newest wacky Wacky thing? What is she attaching to her car this week? Right now she's trying to get class rings made in her own style.

Oh, that's cool. Including, we went to pick up one of the prototypes from a jeweler, including rings, I believe, or solid gold, which is pretty cool. Wow. Yeah, I mean, you don't find that very often unless you're, you know, convert your teeth or something. I don't know how to do it. Where does one get just raw gold to work with these days?

Is that a thing that's easy to do for a maker like yourself? Fort Knox. You can buy an ingot. of gold i don't know who you would buy it from i'm sure an internet search would do it but yeah you can just buy rare metals it's really not that hard okay i was so you got the cash i always soon gold would be harder to get unless you're a dentist or something you know i think i think anyone's got gold wants to sell it would be willing to sell it to you sure well it is the future if you listen to my uncle he thinks i should buy nothing but anyway well that's cool so you did you

were you successful or do we have to wait for some video to see all how to wait wait a little bit to see the video on those but the thing I really wanted to talk about today I got to go on the Sony Studios lot tour and most big Hollywood studios in L.A. have some kind of

tour you can take of their lot where all their sound stages are where they film a ton of stuff excuse me a buddy mine was there and he wanted to go on the tour so I went with him and it was way cooler than I expected I knew, like, that Ghost Corps is there.

That was the thing I wanted to really go see, but there's a ton of other cool stuff. We went into the recording studio where they do scores for movies, which was crazy, crazy cool. Were there some famous bums that have sat in those chairs? Yes, definitely, like Steven Spielberg and John Williams and. and who is it. They named the recording booth after a singer. I can't blink and on her. Oh.

But they had all sorts of stories. Like there's a bicycle hanging from the ceiling in the recording booth. That had its own story. This place felt like it's been around for forever and it's just steeped in legend. It was really cool.

Something I totally wasn't expecting and enjoyed a lot. We went into the set of Wheel of Fortune. It was so cool how okay i got a question about that i'd been to a couple of sets uh when i went to new or excuse me chicago we went to a set for oh what was that for some oh shoot jerry springer it was uh no it was the opras uh i guess it was the opera or maybe donoghue maybe it may been donogh okay anyway when i went in there i'd seen that those shows on tv before and they always seem so out of control massive on yeah yeah but when you go in they're really not that

big they're kind of dinky is that is that what this place is like i mean i mean i Obviously, it's a cool set, but is it smaller than you think? Yeah, and there was less there than I... I haven't watched Wheel of Fortune in a while, but there was just less there than I thought than was on TV. It was between shoots, so the wheel was covered with a sheet of plastic. Oh, I was going to ask you if you got to spin it. No, that would have been awesome, though.

Yeah. Apparently it weighs 3,000 pounds. Oh, my gosh. Really? Really? Holy shit. It's like perfectly balanced, and they're really... really picky about the wheel.

Sure. They had background sets that they swap in and out for different events, too, which was cool. We got to see all that. And then a dude showed up who was a writer for the show. You wouldn't think, but Wheel of Fortune has a writer. This guy's been a writer for the show for like 20 years. We got to grill him about his experience, which was really cool. Yeah, when you say writer, I guess he's doing...

Like all the clues and stuff? Okay, that's the stuff? All right, interesting. That's a Brian Ibitt job, man. Oh, yeah. Brian, you would have loved it. Yeah. Absolutely.

Come on. Okay. It's funny because that still looks pretty dang big. Yeah, I'm showing a shot of it here, and it looks big, but it, and I guess, I mean, it is, it is big. I just always assume the audience is, like, stadium size. It never is. Yeah. Yeah.

The audience could probably hold one or 200 people, maybe. Yeah. Yeah. That's interesting. Where is, is this the, oh, they're not in a city. That's the back. No, that they make a, yeah, it's like a, we're going to pretend we're from. Seattle this week. And next week we're from Nashville and put some Nashville

buildings. It's been a while. It's amazing. None of that was there. It was very empty when I was there. But yeah, you can see all the lights in that one shot. And they just move stuff in and out to make, to sort of change up the theme of the set. That's wild. I think you got a prize out there. You got a car. Yeah. I do car. That's kind of cool. Well, very cool. So did you get like Pat Sajax signature or anything like that? No, it wasn't there. he's not doing it anymore you're retired from that i think it's ryan see crest hosted exactly one of the million things that ryan's like ryan seacrest is the what is it the mocking bird that always takes over the nest as soon as the bird leaves i'm always half surprised

he doesn't host uh come on down what's called the price is right yeah he keeps emailing me about uh i saw you took a week off of coverville are you done doing it need me to take it over Yep, he's on call, man He's what he does He just watches Just watches and waits Vanna White's still doing her thing though Right?

She is, yeah Yeah, she has been doing it For the whole time Sure She can turn my letter anytime She can buy me a vowel If you know what I mean I don't that mean

So Ghost Core Is the company that produces Ghostbusters stuff And they have an office In the middle of the Sony lot And because of my friend I got to go in there And meet a bunch of people

which was really cool and out front of Ghost Core they have the two hero Ecto1 cars just sitting there I got to I got to touch them I didn't get in

I didn't get I didn't want to get like a on the news like a car chase through Culver City Bill stealing an Ecto 1 but I did take a lot What do they call what's the do they have a how do they spell

Ghost Corr? Is it like G-O-S-T G-O-S-T C-R-P Oh, like core, like corporation Core, okay G-H-O-S-T or G-O-S-T? G-H-O-S-T. Yeah, there we go, okay, yeah.

Goes, here we go. Culver City, California, I found it. I'm going to see if I can get some visuals. Yep. Oh, man, so they make, so all the modern movies these guys are doing stuff for, like all that stuff, right?

Yeah, and all of the license things. So, like, they made a video game recently, they do all the toys with Hasbro. It all goes through Ghost Corp. Yeah, that's awesome. But my favorite place in the whole tour, right when it started, they said, hey, here, come check out this room for like 10 minutes while we get you all started. In this room was floor to ceiling screen used props.

Just a ton of them. And I took a bunch of pictures. They're still on my computer. But this room had a mini Seinfeld apartment set that you can, walk around. I want one so bad. Wait, wait, wait. What makes it a mini, like, is it, uh...

Yeah, was it used for something? Yeah, it was scaled down to fit in the room. No, I gotcha. But it's not like a half-size, like, oh, this is a little little cup of the refrigerator. Yeah. No, it was, uh, it was scaled down just to fit in the room with all the other stuff. Uh, they had Johnny five just sitting there.

Oh, cool. Good. Yeah. Was he alive? They had, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, If he looked like maybe his batterer, it wasn't charged. I'd be sure. That's a shame.

Come on, that should be in Astoria, Astoria, Oregon, not Seattle. That's true, it's true. They had a ton of stuff from men in black. All the props, all the chrome and carbon fiber props from men in black are some of my favorites. Oh, my gosh. And they had the noisy cricket. And I'm going to guess it was the one from the second movie because it was really,

really, really good. The first one, I think, was a little rough and tumble. but I've made my own I'm looking at it right now I made my own noisy cricket and I got to see the real one up close take lots of pictures to see what I got wrong

That's the itty bity one that created the biggest Explosion Exactly like what Yeah that's right They had loads of Ghostbusters stuff Which made me so happy Including the motorcycle with the sidecar From the most recent movie

From Frozen Empire Tons of props traps, uh, packs, uh, everything from all the Ghost Pusters movies, a ton of stuff from Spider-Man, uh, and just a crap load of other things sprinkled in there. Uh, and I got to imagine if I go to the Warner Brothers tour, they got a similar room. I got a hope. Oh, and that'd be great. Yeah.

Yeah, now I got to collect them all. I got to go all the, all the studio tours and see everything. Oh, you'd get like, I mean, potential at Warner Brothers is massive if they have a room like that, like, so many IPs. You get the whole Mad Max franchise. You got like, geez, the Matrix and like all the shit you could get in there. Yeah, if you do that, you're going to have to report on that here. You bet. Yeah, we'll take it.

By the way, I've recorded the worst line in the Johnny Five is a live movie, the short circuit. Yeah, it's this right here. Oh, my China. That's the worst line. Wow, it wasn't one of the offensive racial lines from Fisher Stevens. No, not even those because at the very least, I mean, yeah, they're all kind of offensive. but that's just the worst delivery. And I love Alley Shidi.

I'm a huge fan of Ali Shidi, but that is garbage. Anyway. Red Fraggle says Warner Brothers has a whole room full of Batmobiles. Sign me up. Oh, yeah, dude. Oh, yeah, no, kidding. I want that. Oh, they have the Friends set, too.

Holy crap. You get the old. Is it the apartment or is it the Central Perk? They had one of those that was going from city to city. We had in Denver for a while. I never went there, but it was the Friends experience. They had mock-up sets of the apartment and Central Perk. It was a convincing and all that?

From all the photos I saw, it looked like it. It looked like a very, you know, screen-accurate setup, which I think some of the actual props from the show, but, you know, it might have been the couch or something, or maybe it was a couch that looked exactly like the one from the show. That's cool. A little joey smell on it. Probably, a little bit.

Yeah, why don't it? Smells like a little bit of anast. yeah yeah that'd be all right uh so that's great dude what a cool thing to get to go do you know yeah it was neat anyone knew on these tours uh i imagine it cost something i don't know my buddy took care of mine for me yeah but if you're in l-a and you're looking for something cool to do check out the studio tours for sure yeah very cool i didn't even know i guess it makes sense that they would offer such a thing but it didn't occur to me that you could just go do that you know what i'd like to do i'd like to tour guilmore del tors uh collection bleak house yeah he has a whole

house just for all this cool stuff. Yeah, dude. Can you imagine that? Holy shit. Yeah. I have a couple of friends who have pieces that he's commissioned to put in Bleak House. Well, him and Adam are friends, right? They should be able to work something out. We've got to get that done. Get that, get you in there. Man, we just watched Hellboy like a week ago, too. So good. I know. Do you see the trailer for his Frankenstein bit deal? No, I haven't seen it yet. Oh, that looks good. I'm excited. I'm a little, I mean, the Frankenstein monsters, they don't really show him, but he's played by Jacob Aorty, that kid from Euphoria. I say kid.

He's like 6'4 foot 4, but he's really too handsome if you're going to make him the monster. So I want to see what they've done for prosthetics and makeup and all that. It's like how they made Austin, what's his face, all look gross for Dune when he, you know, when... Oh, you say gross. I say, hubba, hubba, hubba. Pale and bald and... Okay, all right. What do we do?

I see your type. What do we do? Austin Butler, thank you. Yes. Austin Buckethead, you can call him. That'd be fine. Well, that's great, dude. Is there any little bonus link or anything you'd like to send us this week before we send you on your way?

Got a link to my buddy Angus. Angus's Maker Muse channel. He makes combat robots. And a great place to start is by making the antweight class. These are teeny tiny little robots that fight each other. And he put out a video on how to make the cheapest antweight robot. possible, which is cool if you want to get started with combat robots, which I kind of do.

You're going to start? You can do one of these? You can make a little bitty guy? I might have to, yeah. I got to finish building my giant bender robot first. But after that, I think making tiny ones that fight would be right up my own. You're going to be, you know... This little miniature container. That's so cool. Oh, it's so great. I want to see one of these, like, actually running here. We've got to skip ahead. Let's go here. Look at these little guys.

dude i would do this all day if there was a place to go and just watch this shit yep and look at these kids you might be surprised there might be one near you doing doing a antweight combat robots oh i love it they call them ant weight obviously because they're tiny but they are their rule there's probably rules right you have to yep yep adhere to a certain weight size dimension can't use blades or whatever whatever the rules are oh my god that thing got beat up yeah yeah yeah oh yeah it didn't go well that's cool what a fun idea oh my gosh van would lose his mind if it's if it seems even a little bit interesting to you go watch uh go watch angus's video Brian you could do that with your you could print something cool man yeah make a little micro robot oh the lot of those were 3D printed yeah

that's cool I put it in the chat as well so chat you've got a link there uh if you want to go find it uh if you want to find it on youtube it's makers muse and uh subscribe to his channel as well his channel is great yeah a lot of great 3D printing tips um from him as well really good uh source for that sort of thing nice bill duran everybody he is punish props.com and of course the punish props youtube channel go sub if you haven't already most of you have that's because you're great bill have a fantastic week month see you bill see you next time all righty getting that added to quicktms.l i nice somebody asked on discord or no on blue sky the other day why it was down and i don't think it was ever down oh i don't think it was down yeah i don't think it was down yeah i

saw a message and said, what's up with QuickTMS Dead L.I. But no other further information. I'm like, I don't know. I've had some weird formatting things happen with that that I'm looking into. I really want to just change the whole look of it. Yeah. Because having the album art in the background kind of messes with other, the CSS of that messes with other posts.

That's really weird. So I kind of want to change the look of that. So if anyone has any suggestions, quick mockup of a really good idea. idea. Shoot me a DM on Discord or email or something. Maybe Bombats has some time. He makes a lot of web things. Maybe he could do it. I mean, I don't need it to be written for me. I just want some ideas of what would look cool. Like, you know, give me a thing that would like, show the name of the album, give a link to where they could buy it, and maybe have a picture of the album cover just in a really different cool format.

I brought one. This one is going out to, oh, it's going out to our friend that just mentioned her, Amy Robinson, getting finally to some stuff that came in from May. She said, hi soup and bread bowl. I'm late submitting this, but Sunday, May 11th, Yes, May 11th, was Chuck in my 12th wedding anniversary. He's my favorite person in the world.

So to celebrate, I'd love to hear a cover of lovers in a dangerous time, which was one of the songs that he introduced me to when we first started dating 14 plus years ago. Thanks for continuing to be silly with me, Chuck. Here's to another dozen years, Amy Redfreckle. Nice. Grat to you guys. That's awesome. Yeah, no, congratulations, you guys.

It is super cool. one of the, one of the cutest couples and kind of one of the most perfectly matched couples I think Tim and I have ever met. There's quite a few of us in the tad pool, but, you know, Scott and Kim is a great example, just perfectly matched yin-yang pairs. Yeah, it's nice, because that's hard to do. I'm just, I'll just say it. I think, you know, people, you get told when you're a kid, oh, there's someone perfect out there for you. When you actually find them, it's kind of a miracle, so hang on tight, you know? Gotcha. Yeah. Cool. So let's get to this. A cover of Bruce Coburn's lovers in a

Dangerous Time. I listened to a bunch. Did you know Dan Fogelberg even did a cover of this song? It's crazy. Yeah, it's not very good. But the one that, you know, I didn't want to go with the favorite, but it is a favorite for a reason. Bar-Naked ladies, this was one of their earliest hits, was

this cover. I think they had just come out with you know, if I had a million dollars and Enid and Hello City and stuff, and then they also had this cover of lovers in a dangerous time from a previous release that was just starting to get some traction. Here's their cover of Lovers in a Dangerous Time.

It's Bare Naked Ladies. Don't the hours go shorter as the days go by. We never get to stop and open our eyes One minute you're waiting for the sky to fall And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all. Lovers in a dangerous time lovers in a dangerous time these fragile bodies of touch and taste

this fragrant skinless hair like lace spirits open to a thrust of grace Never a breath you can't afford to waste. Lovers in a dangerous time. Lovers in a dangerous time. Lovers in a dangerous time. Lovers in a dangerous time. time

Lovers in a dangerous time When your lover's in a dangerous time Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight Gotta kick in the darkness till it bleeds daylight Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time

Lovers in a dangerous time in a dangerous time We were lovers in a dangerous time We were lovers in a dangerous time Oh, love is in a dangerous time. Your pants size is frog. Wear them loud and proud, friend. You're always welcome at frogpants.com.

How about a little smile?
