That's the morning stream for short or no, for long. That's a long version of TMS. I don't know what it is. It is whatever it is. We get it right the first time. Did I? It's TMS for short. Yeah, it is TMS for short. And it is Tuesday. It is January. Sorry, June. It looked like a January looking at it. I'm big dumbass. It's hot as hell. June 17th, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian. Hi, Brian. Hello.

It's hot as a butthole, man. So freaking hot. I was going to ask you, did you have, like, a big rainstorm day in the last few days? No, we wish we would could. Okay. Because we have it. All right.

Because we, you know, we usually get your weather, right? When you're done with it, you send it over the mountains to us. We are, today is massive rainstorm. And they were showing a dude not too far north of me on the news this morning who had, who was holding up chunks of hail that went through, like, pummeled the crap out of his car baseball small baseball size hail like you're you're not softball but baseball size hail damn that's a weird thing to get when it's been so warm that's crazy it just crazy yeah um yeah so i don't think i'm going to be riding my bike today the uh this may be uh you know i could ride indoors i've got the the spin bike set up i could do

that today but uh we'll see yeah well i uh yeah we haven't had that although we did have a bunch of cloudiness So maybe that just turned into something. That might have been what happened. But the good news is this. It's supposed to remain hot all week. And then next week, everybody gets a reprieve. Most of the West, like the Vegas heat wave they're having. Perfect timing because I'm going to Vegas that weekend.

Drops down to the 90s instead of the 107s, 108s, or whatever. It's stuck right now. Phoenix gets down to 103, which is normal for them, I suppose. So, yeah. So I think we're going to time this just right. so I'm not going down there in freaking hellscape weather. Yeah, geez. I'm not looking forward to that at all.

I still can't pull up the 10-day forecast for when the actual MS-150 ride is going to be. But not, you know, this far out, how accurate really can they be. But right now, AccuWeather is predicting, ooh, a high of 92 on Saturday. Yeesh. That's why we start riding at 6.30 in the morning so that we're done by, noon or one before it gets really miserable. I wish you had our weather that day for us. So Friday's 93, Saturday 76, all day and sunny. Big drop in temps. Oh, man. Well, hopefully, maybe, you know how these things are sometimes wrong.

Sometimes. Exactly. We're more than a week and a half out. Things can change. That's right. Probably will. Changes sometimes a good thing in this case. Yes. Hey, got a couple things this morning. Could I just get everyone's collective thoughts, and if you pray, you could pray. Sure. Kim's out of town for another five days. In fact, I just heard the door shut, which I think means she's just left with her ride to go to the airport. She's going to go help my brother out, brother and sister out, sister-in-law out in Phoenix. Speaking of Phoenix, it can be very hot while she's there.

But my brother did a weird thing. So he spent most of his 20s, 30s, 40s, kayaking. He's a hardcore kayaker. So finding the river. and the waterfalls you're used to, or whatever that song goes. He would go do that stuff, doing the Colorado River and all this kind of thing, like high rapid stuff. And that's not the issue so much.

It's just that he was never big on the right eyewear to protect your eyes from the UV. So he would get a lot of reflection off the water, a lot of just straight UV from stuff, sometimes wasn't wearing any protection at all. And then when he would wear goggles, they weren't always UV protected. you know, he grew up at a time where that wasn't even a thing. Yeah, right. Yeah, that was exactly, a newer innovation. Yeah, didn't really get into that habit. And as a result, he has had now, this is the second time with this,

but he's had two separate retinal detachments that are linked, they believe linked directly to that long-term exposure. So the problem with it this time is to save this particular eye, he has to do this regimen where he has to lean, into this, I don't even know what to call it. It's like a sitting massage chair. I guess that is what it is. Because you know those massage chairs in the malls

where the little guys are doing your back and stuff? And you're kind of sitting, but your face is in the hole and you're... Oh, yeah, yeah, right, right. You're not completely flat down. You're kind of, yeah, it's kind of a middle ground sort of position. That's what he has to do, 23, 22 to 23 hours a day.

He has to hold that position, which means he's reading he's listening he's watching TV down there on an iPad or whatever he's like he's just doing whatever he can with his time but he has to sit there if he has to pee or get up or something uh he has to do that in under the time of that extra couple hours i mentioned that he that he doesn't have to be in that position so most of his sleep has to happen there it's it's freaking gnarly right so we hear about this and we go well shit what are we going to do to try to help him and kim goes next week is like perfect because there's nothing thing happening for me. Can I all go down there? I said, oh, okay, well, we could do that.

So she's going to go down there and help them get food done, just help my aunt, or no, I guess she's my sister-in-law, help her do stuff, just kind of just be on scene to help with all that stuff. Because they're in their 60s now. This isn't easy. Yeah. So I'm just, you know, I'm fine. Everything's fine here. Let's not think about, I'm not worried about me. I'm fine. My brother's eyes about to explode. I'd rather we try to help him. So that's where she's at for a week. And then as soon as she gets back, it's like, Wendy's here

and then we're going to Vegas, then we're coming back, and then Wendy's still here, and then we're doing stuff with my mom. It's going to be the most bizarre couple of weeks, but we're ready for it. We'll worry about you. We'll care, you know, we'll keep you on our, like you said, keep you at our thoughts and prayers. Yeah. Yeah, just

you know, send help if you don't hear from me for a couple of days. That's right. Boy, it's a good thing you didn't get those whole three boxes of Oreos, because that would be dinner, one at your nights. I know. Although, I'm told that there's another box on its way with, I guess he found those, um, oh, who, uh, who, who, oh, the Slina Gomez Oreos.

Yeah, the Gomez Oreos. I know, they're not here. They're arriving sometime this week. Yeah. Excited about that. So, yes. Anyway, uh, that's what's going on here. Only double stuff in the building. Hey, you, you mentioned something went bad with a print or something. What was it you were telling me from the show? Oh, what was I was going to talk about, um, no, is the, It's that podcast, so I was basically going to set up a website that had all my remixes,

my Saturday Night Safety Dance from Sirius XM First Wave. That's right. And the only way to get them over there without switching my phone and my computer to completely, instead of iTunes or Apple Music subscription, just basically make it a dummy playlist player. So I was like, oh, well, no, I'll just create a website. Or I have all these domains. I'll use one of them for a website. I'll just make it this podcast thing and put those shows up there.

Got to the point where I was like, all right, I've got the WordPress installed. And this is on my Amazon.com. Dot site. So it's Amazon.com spelled out. Dot site. And I think that might be a problem, Scott, two cows. T-U-Cows. You know, they do a lot of domain registration.

And I register these through Hover, which you and I both like. Yeah, I like Hover a lot. I have all myself on Hover now. I like them. Same here. But apparently they work with 2 Cows or there's some connection with 2 Cows. So 2 Cows has put it on a server hold and they need to clear it before I can use it. And I'm sure it's because it contains Amazon.com in the name.

Yeah, I think 2 Cows is now, I think they own Hover. I think that's what that is. Oh, that's it right there. Okay, yep, KTData confirms it. Two Cows owns Hover. Yeah, that makes sense. So they have a hold on it for, boy, I wonder how that works. Because Amazon, you can't trademark the name Amazon when you're talking about anything else other than Amazon.com.

You could say Amazon Forest. And what if you had Amazonforest.com? Were they going to stop you then? I'm sure it's like a, this could be really spammy. This guy could be using something really spammy here. Let's not, you know, let's get it approved first. So I'm just waiting to hear back. But if it doesn't, I've got other domains I can use.

I just thought it would be really funny to have my podcast on Amazon.com. Dot site. Yeah, they'll probably have, what do you have to do? Probably just tell them what you're doing or something? Yeah, they gave me a direct line to, oh, what was the? It was like two cows or something at two cows.com, but it made me feel like, okay, this is approvals and, and, anti-malware kind of thing. Sure, sure. Yeah. Okay. Well, that sounds like you probably end up,

it'll probably end up working out. Even if it doesn't, you know, there might be a hidden podcast on Viva TMS Vegas. You know, we're not using, I'm not using the RSS feed on Viva TMS Vegas. I could use that for the, oh, that's not bad. Yeah, because you just need an RSS, really. Exactly. I've got a bunch of domains that I'm maybe not using for podcasts that I could, I could use. That's a great idea. somebody asked me once, why can't you just suddenly dump all, some old show, ELR or whatever, on like a new feed on ACAST or some other hosting platform.

And the answer is none of those support a dump. Right. They all are individual one at a time. Sure, could I go and do 300 episodes one at a time forever? Yeah, but it takes me a month to do that. Yeah. So you have to create a post for each one. Yeah, stuff that shit.

attach it to a post and yeah yeah we're not doing that but and the other option is well I'll just throw them up on an archive but then they're not organized they're not on an RSS feed as far as I know they don't do that now maybe they do now right oh I don't know worth checking but yeah what you're doing is the that's the way to do this I think it's smart it's the way to do it somebody messaged me on blue sky and said dude that's brilliant well it would be if I could get it to work in so we'll see sure sure well we'll see if two cows if one of the cows gives you any shit let us know yeah maybe I hope it's not a split decision, and one cow gives me a thumbs up. The other cow does not give me a thumbs up. That's the problem with that place. It's only two votes matter. That's it. Exactly. They need a third cow to break the tie.

Yeah. I'd walk into the room and go, and then we're on to something. Exactly. All right, we got a quick email here from Dave. And he had one more thought on the grapes at the store. Okay.

Oh, my gosh. We're not done with the damn grapes eating, people eating grapes at grocery stores. Only one more, I think. I hope this is it, all right? Okay. I'm not saying don't or do. You know, we're not here to tell you guys how to live your lives, but we thought we were done with the grocery store grazing thing.

No, Dave has one more thought. Okay. He says, Dear Scoot and Boot, I just wanted to chime in on the grapes slash sampling thing at the grocery store topic. I like how he named it. As long as grocery stores continue to insist on not paying me to work the self-checkout registers, I will continue to sample a grape or two free of guilt. every shopping trip. Love the show though, Dave in Wisconsin. Yeah, Madison, Wisconsin.

Okay, Dave. All right. That's, you know, that's actually not a bad point. It's the, it's a whole argument of, um, uh, why should I have to pay the same amount if I book my airline tickets online versus calling and speaking to a booking agent and, and, you know, causing them the time and stuff like that. It's that whole like, you know what? Why, and why is there a convenience fee when it's my convenience yeah it's not like it's or when it's answer when it's their convenience that i do these you're giving them a convenience unless their point is oh well these machines cost a ton of money and this is how we recoup that or something like that but whatever they're all scammers anyway those card the membership cards you think you're getting deals on

shit it's all made up right exactly and they sell your info it's all bullshit man yeah the grocery store what are they doing over there what are they doing he used to be a guy in an apron thing selling fresh fruit what have we done right exactly i remember mr hooper don't we remember mr hooper never forget mr hooper he was joe albertson and who's the sherman guy that guy who you know yelled at you for squeezing the sherman yeah what happened to our grocery man when did we stop caring about like butt tissue being squeezed when did we stop right right go back to a simpler time is that is that the same thing the sampling the grapes like going in and squeezing all the toilet papers.

I think so. Oblivion. Like, like, okay, see, this brings, you bring up a really great point. When, when is it too much, or when do you start drawing the line and like, don't thumb melons, don't squeeze Charmin, don't pick up a thing and rotate it around and see if it's for you or not. Right. You know?

Shaking up the cans. Let's see. Oh, yeah, this sounds, this sounds fresh. This is a can of Pepsi. Yeah, where does it end? Oh, speaking of which, can I, okay, I've had this thing in my mind since last night. I posted it on social media stuff. I just have to ask it because this is a great forum to do it.

You guys definitely will have some feedback. This might be our new grapes thing. And you'll, for the next two weeks, we'll get responses. Oh, great. Okay. But so that new How to Train Your Dragon thing is either out or out this week, I think, or something? It's out. It came out last weekend.

Last weekend. Okay. Yeah. Neither of us in any rush because we're, you know, whatever. It's not really a hard target. Here's the thing. Every time one of these happens, either gets announced or released, and a lot in between, everybody loses their mind.

I can't believe you took my classic thing. I loved it as a kid or otherwise. It's my beloved animated film and you made a live action version. Everyone gets mad. Whether they make money or they don't, whether it's Lilo and Stitch or the Seven Dwarves business or any of these other things in between. Snow White or Lion King, any other.

Mermaid. Yeah. All that stuff, they get this treatment and everybody gets mad for the most part. Like the fan bases get all pissed. Sure, sure. So it occurred to me that I understand why they get mad. I totally get it. Like, I get that way, too.

I'm like, oh, did you really need to do that? Especially when it's like shop for shot. Exactly. Some of these feel so unnecessary. Yeah, they feel unnecessary. And for those that want to see these, I'm not, I'm just talking about a majority of voices online. So, flip it now. If somebody came to me and said, Scott, what's your favorite action movie?

It's a, well, Mad Max Fury Road. And they said, well, what if I told you Warner Brothers was just greenlit a 2D animated adaptation? I'd go, freaking, where are my tickets? I'll sign up day one, let's go. Shut up and take my money. Yeah, I would do that for almost anything I can think of that I kind of hold as like an important movie, A, because I know the other one still exists and is the classic, but if you said, Hey, Goodfellas is being animated or anything in between.

I know about Goodfellas. I'd be excited. I'd be stoked about it. I would get my curiosity watch, but all right, let's say, you know, we're coming out with an animated Gardens of the Galaxy. Hell yeah. I'd be all over it. And here's, here's why, and here's why I think it works better one way and not the other. They can, they can do a lot more and go a little bit crazier with animation than they can with live action. Yes, I know there's CGI and they can do some, some, you know,

amazing things with, with animation. But like, let's say they, they really want to kind of go overboard with the, with an animated Guardians of the Galaxy. Even if it's shot for shot, but having like people's faces, you'll stretch out when they turn their heads or something like that, that, you know, these kind of cool, two-d-animation stylistic stuff. They can do that with animation going that direction and say, we're going to give you a whole new perspective on these shows you love. And I think comic books and comic book adaptations already lend themselves well to it. Like I didn't hear a single complaint when Spider-Verse got announced.

Nobody went, I can't believe they're animating Spite. We have all the live actions we need. We don't need enough. It's like, nobody did that. we all got excited and it turned out to be great. So I just think even in, so you're right about that. I think you're right. Those lend themselves better.

Obviously, they come from kind of the same core place of art and, and stylistic choice and all that. But to be able to, but I would, if you said, hey, they're making a live, or they're making a 2D animated full feature length, back to the future remake. Yeah. 2D animated remake. I would be so into it.

I'd be all into it. I'd be like, let's go. Well, man, do they, here's where I'd, it's the voice acting that would kind of like. Oh, they could fake it. They could fake it, don't you think? Those two. Yeah. I mean, and, you know, Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, still around.

They can totally do the, totally do the voices. But, man, you remember the first time you heard not Jim Henson doing Hermit and how it kind of took you out of the. Yeah. whatever Muppet thing you were watching. Yeah, even though it was his son, it was like hard to take. Yeah. That was the first one for me, that was Christmas, the Christmas one, the Carol. Oh, yeah, the Christmas Carol.

Yeah. And I'm fine with it now. Like enough time has passed. It doesn't bother me at all. But at the time I went, ooh, that's not Jim Henson because he died. And then it reminded me that he died and that was sad. And it was, you know, nobody wins. But.

Yeah. So, you know, back to the future animated thing, God, they could do some incredible stuff. Like, I could just visualize. Um, you know, instead of the, the, uh, DeLorean just kind of zipping off, leaving the two little, uh, fire trails of their tires, you could actually see kind of like a, um, Dr. Strange and the multitude of madness, uh, or multiverse of madness, kind of, you know, flying through time as it gets back to 195 and all these. Yeah, you could add a lot, a lot visually, things you couldn't do otherwise, exactly. Or the, or that just would fit better in a two-d format. You could do 3D as well. I'm not even, I'm not even, I'm not taking, that off the table. I'm just saying, like, if we're, if we're using like the Lilo and Stitch example, I'm trying to think of examples where it would be just the opposite. Like Animatrix was a good example of that.

Somebody brought that up in the chat that it wasn't, it wasn't, it was just more stories from the Matrix universe. Yeah, something you're going to be talking about tomorrow is kind of, uh, similar to that. Um, and I love, I'll give you a little hint. I loved it. It feels like it's so up your alley. How could you not? It's so good. I was skeptical because I was on Rotten Tomatoes it's the highest rated version of that story yeah really of any of them all of them none of them have the score this thing has wow because prey i thought was just yeah i agree revelation i agree and i saw this and went oh okay next level stuff here which makes me so excited for the the new movie coming i'm so excited yeah yeah anyway so i'd be i you know i think there's

some movies that I think would be better than others for this sort of thing but if you said oh yeah they're doing they're doing infinity war and end game but in the style of Spider-Man across the multiverse or Spider-verse I'd be like oh

yeah I'm in because you get excited you'd be stoked to see this yeah absolutely as would I and none of us would be sad that there's these two things exist in the same world it's fine with us but for some reason we get really worked up about the other direction And I'm not saying I'm not like that.

I'm the same. I feel that way, too, but I don't know why I feel that way. Yeah, let's say they say, oh, by the way, we're going to be redoing across the Spider-Verse, but live-action. Yeah, that would annoy me. Yeah, exactly. But why? Why is that annoying to me? I don't know.

I don't know. It just feels like they're taking something that they have so much flexibility for and so much artistic, um, uh, wide open space. basically and limiting it to well we're going to do it with live actors which kind of you know mean that's going to be more more staticy shots and and and uh less less stylized approach let's a less um what's the word i'm looking for but like a less stylized version of which across the spiderverse had in space absolutely oh my gosh like it it should lend some of that to other studios so stylized uh tally says schindler's list the cartoon there's a lot of jokes like that in here, but I actually still

say that stuff works. Like, you can make serious content animated. There'd be so much that I would get me in for curiosity viewing. I mean, that's kind of why I watch, why I went and saw Snow White live action and Little Mermaid live action and Lion King live action. It's like, all right, what are they, how are

they going to do this? You know, with, they're really going to be, they're not live action animals, they're still CGI animals. It's really just the backgrounds and landscapes that are live action, but I don't know. I think a very adult take on Goodfellas in the style of Pixar would be great.

I would watch the shit out of that. You think I'm funny like a clown funny? Can you imagine that? Those exaggerated expressions. A little Monster Zink style Joe Pesci. Yeah. Him getting a bullet at the end. Sure.

Sam Jackson getting obliterated in that bedroom. Oh my God. It'd be his second Pixar role. after frozone he'd be coming back for a good thought right where's my super suit's my mafia suit oh shit um all right anyway there's that thanks for the grapes uh the sour grapes there dave in madison wisconsin we appreciate it uh ian speaking of food and things ian has this to say about them their root beer floats hey there's stewards and briars it's uh i am sci-fi uh just responding to Scott's comments on how he doesn't like root beer floats.

And it immediately reminded me of the fact that it's actually really hard to find root beer in Japan because to Japanese people, it tastes like cough syrup. I guess maybe it's the medicinal qualities of it all, but apparently there's a version of cough syrup in Japan that tastes so much like root beer that if you try to give a root beer to a Japanese person, they will give stinkface and say, no thank you, and move on from there. It also means it's really hard to find root beer in Japan, so any of you Americans who are staying there extended, yeah, you're going to pay out the ass for just like one can of root beer. So do keep that in mind. Maybe bring a couple with you if you're going to be there for a while.

Love the show, though. Talk to you soon. If you think it's got that black licorice taste is kind of medicinal a little bit. It's like I don't even know if that's the right comparison. Root beer's not quite that. But there's like the cilantro, like how, you know, to some people, I wonder if you can get enough of a culture of people who have that soap taste when they eat cilantro that kind of all tastes like soap.

You know, it tastes like soap to a larger group. yeah i could see that genetics yeah genetically speaking sure i i i didn't know this though this is crazy i had no idea so if i go there and go uh excuse me sir i'd like a barks root beer in a can exactly i'm not getting anywhere with that they'll hand you no they'll hand you a thing of cough syrup and say taste the same enjoy this jeanie says what a scoop of ice cream in there go for it janey says i'm not japanese but it tastes disgusting to me um i'm with you in most cases genie any of the fuzzier root beers I'm not a fan of like when I say fuzzy I mean frothy I guess like I don't like R&W A&W we're gonna get in the R from burr I don't know I don't know uh barks though I like it's got a nice

bite to it's fine but any of them you put ice cream in there and you make I'm just gonna die it's gonna die it's horrible I don't like rude beer let's just say let's just get it out of the way now so you don't need to make any titles someone someone's gonna probably put it there. Yeah, we won't accept it. We won't, we, we've covered it. It's been covered. Zerick says, Barks is the only one that's good because it has caffeine. That's only true in certain parts of the country. I can't get caffeinated up here, but I can get it in Mississippi where it's made, where it's bottled. It's so weird, right. Like, that's such a weird, like, it's not like the Hellman's Best Foods kind of thing. This is like, same product,

one with caffeine, one without, depending on where in the country you're at. Yeah. And I also, this is the other thing. I've said on the show out loud that I'd like like a cream sickle flavored like there's a coke zero that's uh orange cream coke yeah orange vanilla yeah i like those and people have said well scott or got emails and said scott that's the what's the difference like you're it's big difference and i'm like there's a gigantic difference there isn't a lump of ice cream in it first of all i mean come on now it's not the same oh man here's here's one of the things i love about a rupe beer float is the scoop of ice cream sitting there in the root beer and the outer edge of the sphere of ice cream starts getting a little

bit crystallized with the with the root beer like it's either frozen root beer on the on the ice cream or the ice cream kind of hardens with the uh with the root beer whatever it is it's like I will try and scoop off the the like crispy root beer off of the ice cream it's not really crispy but it's like a so you like that stuff or don't like that stuff i love it oh that's the part i hey so he says yeah crispy rip beer that's the part i hate that's literally the part i don't like well i don't like the flavor but the worst part to me is like that see foamy kind of vibe that it gives when it starts to melt oh yeah it gets on your lip i get that okay i get that it's that it's like those bubbles should be popping and they're not popping why are those why is that foam not

dissipating yeah that's when it's like if you own a hot tub that's the sign that your hot tub needed cleaning. It's like some dirty kid spent too long in there with body lotion on, and now I've got to go clean the hot tub. That's the vibe I get. Like when you go to the beach and that stuff washes up on the sign, it's like that foam should be, that should not be just sit in their foam. That should be foam that's disappearing.

Why is it not disappearing? Why is it brown? Yeah, some fish should eat that foam or what are we doing here? I see you in the chat says, so no milk and Pepsi for Scott. Who's doing that abomination? Leverne. That was Laverne's favorite drink on Laverne and Shirley. I have blocked that out.

That's gross. It's gross. I tried it once. It's like it really does taste kind of like a Pepsi float or Coke float. But it's, why do that? Why bother? I have a file for that. Yuck.

That's right. Yuck. That's disgusting. Oh my gosh. Milk and any soda. I'm trying to think. Well, Verde Fasio and milk and Pepsi. What else?

I'm trying to think. Oh. Oh, I wonder about it. Have you ever had an egg cream? You probably would not like an egg cream. I'm not sure what that is. Describe that. It contains no egg. It contains no cream. It's chocolate milk and club soda. Oh. Um, is it like a, I guess U-Hus aren't carbonated, though, are they? No, no. But it is, but if you can imagine a carbonated U-Hoo, that's basically what it would be. Why do they call it an egg cream if there's no egg cream? I don't know. It was a soda fountain in, some soda fountain in New York starting.

it and uh just look right when i'm showing here yeah okay okay you know what i try that but i'm a little concerned but there's that foam on top that is that is your your hate foam right there it is my hate oh selzer i'm sorry at the wait what's the difference between salzer and club soda i thought they were the same i thought they were the same thing too uh hold on if any of you have triptophobia enjoy this one look at that there it is those little holes yeah enjoy that. Yeah. Okay, I found a perfect example of why I can't do it. Here it is. Club soda has added minerals giving a slightly

saltier mineral taste. Oh, I didn't know that. Seltres what I'm thinking of. Oh, there it is. There's your foam. Brian, that's a problem. Right there's fear foam. Can't do it. That can't do it. That means we've polluted the river. That's what we did there. Why are the bubbles

opaque? So now if you just said these are cream-filled egg, chocolate eggs, I'd be in. Like that. sounds great like these right here that's an egg cream i can eat oh look at that those look homemade i would eat it's still so much sugar i look at that white i know dude that white stuff in the in the cadbury cream egg and it's like no if you give me just the give me just the egg and maybe like you know a hollow chocolate egg with like a little bit now that's gross though

yeah if you're tipping it back like a shot or something yeah yeah that's pretty gross that's the cadbury cream eggs it's not the chocolate it is that white stuff inside which is just wet sugar. It's wet. That's exactly the way to say it. It's not just pure sugar. It's not just too much sugar. It is too much. It is pure and it is wet. Yeah. Yeah. That's gross. That's gross. It's like the stay puff marshmallow man diarrhea is what you're eating. Don't do it. Right. Exactly. Stay away. Claire asks, so Brian, does that mean you can't do protein shakes like the milkyer kind of ones, not the juicy kind of ones? I do both. I love protein shakes.

I can do protein shakes. Those don't bother me. Yeah. What, um, those are, those are just mixing a powder with a... Yeah, I wonder what, what I said that gave her the idea I would not like one of those. I think she's, well, the soda part is what, is what I have a problem with. Um, so mixing, maybe that's the whole problem in general. Maybe if you gave me a flat root here, no, that sounds bad. No. I think, I think maybe we need to make, uh, we need to make, uh, we need to I'll make egg creams someday on the show and try them live. I'll do it.

I'll be happy to do that. That's, you know, that's better than a Korean cracker. Just kidding. I still have some of that root beer milk. Just add some seltzer to that. I should try that and see what. Try it if it's any good. The only salsa I have is Laquois.

Pompelamous and I can't. You put that in there. No. La Croy. La Croix. Is it Lecrois? I always say Lecoy. Is it wrong?

I say Lecroy as well. And then somebody, one of my neighbors said, do you want a laquois? we have a whole, a whole cooler full. I'm like, Lecois, Laquois? I'm like, really? Is that supposed to be pronounced? I don't like it at all. I think you're being, I think you're being fancy, and you don't need to be fancy. You don't have to be fancy here.

We're all friends or neighbors. Just give me a LaCroix, like a normal person. This is one where the chat room will explode about. It's pronounced LeCroy, or it's pronounced La Clau. Exactly. I have friends who say LeCroix, so they put the hell. X in there. Are they doing it ironically?

Like, you know, Target. I have some friends who I go to Target to go shopping. There's a couple of my question how ironic they can be. Yeah, yeah. We'll see. Anyway, sorry, I interrupted. You were, you had a thing. Oh, no, I was using that as a segue, talking about the milk and stuff to go into something

that we talked about yesterday, the lactose, lactase thing. We got, you know, some information from Dr. Tolbert about this, and I did some deep diving on the FDA website about it as well. There's, you know, kind of like what Bobby was saying. There's what we've learned. There's what the dairy place says. And then there's kind of the truth, the truth fills in a large gap of what's in between.

It isn't just like, nope, it's this thing right in the middle. It's like, well, there's this, but then there's also this. As you get older, your small intestine apparently is the thing that produces lactase in your body. and that's what helps you digest lactose. And so as you get older, I mean, some people just lose the ability even younger to produce lactase. And there's really not as much in milk as Edwin at the dairy might have had me believe that gets wiped out during the pasturation process. You produce it, your small intestine produces it.

As you get older, your body starts producing less and less of it. So unless you have, unless you maintain a very regular milk diet, your body just will slowly stop producing lactase and you'll develop, you know, the bloating, the gas, the fartiness, all that stuff from lactose. But if you, if you grow up, you know, I have a full glass of milk every day, then your body will just continue, you'll get, it'll get used to continuing to produce. So if you drink the milk, so if you do consistent. drink milk through that time post whenever the drop off happens that's how you stave off that's how you stave off losing your losing the um like your your body will still continue to produce lactase because you're constantly drinking milk and it needs to um needs to keep producing it as kids we drink a lot of milk we don't drink as much of it as we get older and i think that's probably part of why our bodies stop producing it so um and then everybody is obviously there's going to be variation in the sample

size of people, they're all going to be different. But I had, like, so, so now that opens a new question for me. I will occasionally have ice cream, like a, yeah, something at Fridays or something. But I don't drink milk anymore at all as like a, I don't even use milk for like cereal. I use oat milk or some other alternatives. Yeah, same. And I don't do it because lactose intolerance, I do it because I just don't like milk. I'm not a fan necessarily.

But I like it in cooked goods and baked goods. And I like it in a milkshake, obviously. So I'll go literally years of not drinking milk at all. Without drinking any sort of like plain, plain whole milk. Yeah, it's probably been 15, right around 15 years since I've had real milk. Sure. It's been that long. And I don't even think about it.

We just don't get it. I don't drink it. But then I'll have ice cream. Shouldn't I have a bad reaction to that ice cream? Because I don't. Not necessarily. Your body might still somehow be producing lactose. And you're, you know, it's digesting that lactose.

and also the occasional freddie's frozen custard or other things just might be such a minute amount that you're not getting like the same equivalent is drinking a big bowl or a big glass full of milk or a bowl of cereal with milk in it yeah and jerry also he got into the whole difference between 1% and or 2% milk and whole and it's only one more percent it's one more percent whole milk is 3 so when you're like ooh we're getting 2% milk it's like you're getting you're getting you're Basically, that entire carton has just 1% less milk fat in it. Yeah. Either direction is so dumb from a definition standpoint. It's like, oh, I'm getting 2% because I'm being very conscious about how much actual whole milk I'm drinking. No, you're not. You're one percent less than whole. Or on the other side, you're like, I'm drinking whole milk like a real man.

It's like, no, you're only drinking 1% more than the 2% people. More than 2% milk. And the place, the dairy we went to actually had a what they call full fat milk, which is 4%. Oh my gosh. That's crazy. Yeah. It's like, all right. I'm curious as to if it tastes creamier or what the deal is with, you know, the silkiness of it or whatever, if it tastes any better or any different. I mean, Talia is right. You can tell the difference just from the difference between 2% to whole. Yeah. You can taste it. But the language of that is implying a whole different kind of thing. When you say 2% and whole, The word whole literally is defined as complete. A 100% equals complete. You know what I mean?

Like calling it whole milk. What are you doing, dairy industry? That's lame. Lame. The half and half, which some people put in their coffee and stuff, is like drinking 10.5% to 18% milk. Is that why people, that's where the lactose people really flare up is usually coffee? That probably is.

Oh, sure. Yeah, because the, yeah, probably why when I had those Queenamonds in Salt Lake City with Karen and Jason, the, the latte they gave me was probably half and half and it was like, here's a whole crap ton of lactose. Good luck to digest in that, Brian. Yep, and then you went up 9,000 feet elevation. Yes, right. And then that compressed on things a little bit. And it's like, yep, I'm going to go over and look at the Steve Young painting real quick. I'll join you guys at just a moment.

thing's still there by the way that dumb painting I'm sure it is um anyway all right well there you go we learned a little something about lactose lactase lackadaisal all the lack words all right there you go all right we're going to do some news we brought some so we're going to do it here we go

right here right here time for the news brought to you by the temporarily trapped kid in the basketball ticket machine. So this was great. I forgot to tell the story yesterday because we didn't get to news, but basically we were at that arcade,

Kim and I for Father's Day, having a ball, doing good, having a great time. And it's not super packed. It's a Sunday. There's not a lot of people there. And there was a kid trapped. Well, I think he was kind of trapped,

but he had crawled up one of these basketball hoop things where he just keeps shooting. Yeah, that thing. Yeah. And they have a sonic. one there. It's like Sonic the Hedgehog branded and I don't know. It was like more of a ring than a basket. Stupid. But anyway, same thing. You're just shooting baskets and this kid was, there were three of them and one of them, this kid was up against the glass that blocks the balls from coming right

back at you instead dropping low. And he's got his hands and his face going, ah, like up on it. He's not really trapped so much as he's having a fun time in there. No kidding. Oh, you need to put some money in there and have them, like, really wreck up some tickets for you. Just say, here. Yeah, here, kid. Just start dropping balls in the baskets right away. Yeah. The worst part of that does, I never, by the time I, well, we were there long enough that it was like this kid and this one.

And it was like, where is the parent of this kid? Like, there was no one around going, get out of their ability or anything. It was just this kid. And he was probably three, four maybe. Yeah. Then I turned my head for a minute, did something else look back and he was out. So the parent must have come back and gotten him. but that was a weird thing to see in an arcade.

That's really funny. Wow. Also, I did not do well. I scored poorly in that game. So there's that. Yeah, they had one of those in that breakthrough thing that I was telling you about, or break,

break through? The one in Kansas, right? In Kansas City, yeah, they had one of the things, one of the rooms he went into basically was kind of a pop-a-shot, but the hoops would all light up different colors. And they, you know, you want to get it through the green ones, but as you throw against the green ones, one, it might all of a sudden turn red right before your ball goes through it. So you kind of got

to time it to like, okay, it's about to turn green, toss it in there. Oh, I don't like that. Really? No, it's, you know, it becomes more of a game. Yeah. But then it bounces off the green one and goes right into a red one. What are you going to do? Plus, I'm convinced like it's like a carny trick, the backboard of that, the metal that connects it to the board, is longer than it should be. So it should be a tighter, whatever regulation is, it's closer to this. It's like an out to this or something so you can't backboard the way you're used to if you're a good shot you're going to bing it off that thing half the time absolutely yeah carnival ones they're they're totally gonna screw with you on that one the one the one in breakthrough though there's no benefit you're

not spending more money to keep trying that one so there's really no benefit to them to to keep you in that room any longer than they need to it's just this it was the stark reminder that most of that arcade is just kid Vegas it's all Vegas it really is yeah let me some of those are just flat out gambling games like do they have the one where it like pushes the tokens towards the edge and then yeah a couple of those they had one they even gamified you know the strength ones you hit the hammer see how high the thing goes yes yeah it used to be you're just trying to see if you could get it to go up and hit the top ring and then you get the score this one was like no you need to try to figure out how hard or soft to hit it so that it gets

as close to staying up there as possible because if you hit it too hard it'll go to the top and then come down again and bounce and be a low score and who cares or get it all the way up. And here's the worst part. Up toward the top where it would hopefully settle are some high scores, but every other one is only a five. It's weighted to the house so hardcore. I hate that stuff.

It's really funny. Yeah, it really is kid gambling. It's annoying. Anyway, here's your first story. This is pretty wild. This is a bit of an engineering marvel. Chinese city moved its entire historic neighborhood using hundreds of hydraulic legs.

Oh, wow. Yeah. I got to see these pictures. That's kind of cool. I need to see this. Yeah. It's pretty badass. Let's see here.

Oh, that's the wrong one. Pink refrigerator in the middle of the Nambian Desert. Yeah, that's what I got too. Okay. Hold on. Where's the article? Oh, here it is. I found it.

You have to scroll down. I don't know what happened there. Yeah. It's a dumb, one of those dumb websites where everything's on one page. And if you get the URL even slightly wrong or you're effed. But anyway, they moved this whole thing on legs. Oh, there it is. So you see those houses?

They're all just moving on legs. Shanghai Authority recently moved a traditional Shikuman style building, Shikuman, I think? I guess, sure. It's an ancient style, I guess, at a pace of 10 meters per day. So this thing isn't like getting up and running or anything. But 10 meters a day with the help of 432 hydraulic powered robots, The Huaniani complex, none of this matter, so I'm not going to say it, has been touted as China's largest relocation project of his kind, both in terms of size and complexity, the tight layout of the building complex, where it states back to 1920s and 30s, made traditional construction and relocation tools virtually unusable, but authorities needed a way to move the entire block several hundred meters to the further construction of a three-story underground structure.

Oh, they're building that there. what's that about that's weird wow if i was those other neighbors i'd be like wait a minute what do you put an underground building the silo underneath it so um it's wild what about all like the the stuff you need underground for for buildings like plumbing and stuff systems and plumbing and right exactly yeah i mean i assume the stuff in the 20s and 30s didn't have plumbing maybe they still don't all above ground yeah maybe they still don't or maybe in this recalocation they can add that? I don't know. I just don't know how you get, I guess you just dig underneath it and then put the robot,

like basically as you're digging, as soon as you get enough room, you jam a robot thing in there and then dig around it to put the next robot thing. You just kind of slowly, slowly build a whole area with robots. Yeah. That's why I would do it. why it's so amazing. It's just like, are you kidding me? Oh, there's, I found video. Hold on. Oh, did you? Oh, is that a Yeah. No, it's in the, I just looked it up. Uh, YouTube's got it. Oh, there we go. So here's a, uh, you can see it. Time lapse. Look at these little feet. I really love all the giant text. Jeez. Deet dot doot. Yeah, no kidding. Get that. What are you doing? Stupid. Let me look at the, let me look at the video you're trying to show me instead covering with text. No doubt. Well, I love the day-night cycle. This is great. Yeah. I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, if. I guess, If, okay, so they're just moving it to there?

Why couldn't they build their underground thing there? It really looks like a sliding number puzzle. Yeah. My least favorite puzzle, by the way, I hate sliding puzzles. I do too. I hate them. I do you hate them. Oh, as a kid?

I know you hate mazes. Do you hate those more than mazes? I hate them more than mazes, yeah. Because in mazes, you can do other things to make a maze interesting, like put it in first person in a video game and I'm okay with a maze. If I'm a little kid and it's just a simple McDonald's food. Matt. I can do that. Whatever. But I don't like, I don't like backtracky stuff. And both of these game types represent a lot of backtracking. Yeah. Right. I don't like Rubik's Q's for the same reason. Yeah. And I admire people who can go and solve them in seconds. I think they're amazing. You people

are amazing. But I'm not doing any of that shit ever. No, no. F right off. Uh, all right. You know what? It's 10. We're going to take a break. Oh, wow. Already. That was quick. Shoot, I didn't even pull up the, Yeah, okay, better pull up the band. Okay. We're going to take a break when we come back. Guess who will be here? It'll be Travis, that's who. Yay!

Yeah, he's going to test us. We're going to see how we're... Will Scott extend his lead to where I can only hope to tie him in the second half of the year? Or we'll... I don't feel very comfortable in my position. Well, I finally get my shit together and actually win one of these this year. Oh, my God. I feel like the...

What does it feel like? I feel like I have to have a rebuild, you know, in sports, in like sports comparison. There's got to be a rebuilding year coming. for me soon. There's no way I maintain this streak. I don't know. You've had a great, so far a great five-month streak. Well, we'll see what happens. He's going to come and test our metal. Is your metal ready? You have your metal out? My metal, I sharpened it, honed it, as it were. I burned mine, so I hope that's not a problem for it gets here. Anyway, that's coming up soon after this song that Brian has prepared. Brian, what are we watching or playing? Yeah, this is a band called Ramonda Hammer.

I played these guys on TMS, wow, way back in 2019, I might have played them more recently, but way back in 2019, I played something on TMS 1722, and somebody emailed me and said, what was that song? That was amazing. So I found it when I was searching for this, you know, the information on this song. This is a band that is from Los Angeles. They're going to be playing in a couple nights at Gold Diggers in L.A. Devin Davis's vocals, Justin Geeter's heavy distortion, heavy, brutally melodic riffs. This is awesome stuff. The band is.

Ramonda Hammer, this is their brand new single, The Panic. I am. ...there ... ...you know, ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

... ... There was so much noise. There was so much noise. On the rooftop I could love argue with myself stuck in my skin

and a lack of understanding there were clouds of red and the black storms obscured my vision My vision Clued my head

To the floor But I was more untethered Than before The panic It came Hovered in shame I've been here before A decade ago

I always be Looked back a tent I always knew you'd go in the end. I showed you to feel what was nice to real. I needed an eye, out, I'd close in my mouth. I'd always be your back so flat. I always knew you'd go in the end. There's so tight to end.

And a dream you can. I heard you Sunking in Heavy lives Push out I'm making Stay Yeah

Thank you. All you ever provide to the things are the things you like to me, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Have you ever forgotten The things you wanted to hear? Oh Oh Oh Oh

Never again, ever again, ever again, ever again, ever again, ever again. Uncontrolled Uncontrolled perspiration, distorted vision, loss of coordination. My leg is fine. My stomach hurts. And we're back. Who was that again? That is Ramonda Hammer and a brand new single from them called The Panic. Go check him out in Los Angeles. And hopefully we get a full album from them soon.

Yeah. There'll be nothing wrong with that. Yeah. All right. All right. All right. All time for this. This is Travis, and you'll do well to listen carefully to what he has to say.

Oh, will we now? Well, let's put that to the test. Hey, Travis, what's going on, buddy? Yes, you will do well to listen. Oh, good. Always. That's fantastic to hear. I know it came up in chat, but I was planning on asking you about it.

You know, we had somebody call in and say, no, Brian, you should never take the one because it means that you won't get the three. Like, if you say three and then Scott says two and then you say one, if Scott misses the two, it's not like you're going to get a chance for three. And my understanding was, whatever we bid, you'll go back that far. So, like, if I say three, Scott says two and I say one, and I don't get it on the one, Scott doesn't get it on the two. I assumed you'd go back to the three that I originally had the first way. Yeah, I mean, that's how it's going to go, right? If you, whatever you bid, that will go back that far. If it gets to that and you don't.

Yeah. Then you won't give us a three because nobody bid a three at any point. Correct. Yes, that is how we have. Okay. So everyone at home, shut up. We figured it out. We know what's going on.

Even those of you didn't complain about this. You shut up too. Yeah, you guys just shut up and sit down, okay? Travis knows what he's doing, damn it. He does know what he's doing. Well, awesome. Oh, go ahead. I either do know what I'm doing or I fake knowing what I'm doing.

Well, it's fake until you make it, as they say. Exactly, yes. Yeah. Well, it's good to be here, man. Always good to be here. It's always good to be here. Yeah, as Brian alluded to, he is down 5-0 right now. So it's time to pick it up a little bit there.

Maybe this is going to be my month. Maybe we'll see. Be it. Never know. Mr. Trivia guy. Yeah. I know. I know. I don't want my team to hear any of this because I'll be voted off the island if they were to hear any of this stuff. That's true. Speaking of trivia, Lernid League ended today. Yeah.

It was the last. And that threw me. Oh, really? To do a Monday and then be done. Oh. Oh, I know. I know. Yeah, because they do the 25. There was a couple holidays in there, I think, was what, yeah. the Memorial Day and stuff like that. When does it, it kicks off again? How long of a break?

A couple months, August. Yeah, it's early August, I think. Oh, bad. And I do have an invite. I don't know if you and Amy are getting invites yet, but I do have an invite. If there's somebody else who wants to get into Lernad League, you know, shoot me a message in Discord, and I'll get you an invite to the next season. that's right get in the LL while you can that's right be a lava well now we'll do some learned Travis or something that's a terrible transition we will

give us our first thing and I you know the fun part about this is we don't know the we don't know the theme until we get there and I'd love that right exactly exactly so let's do it uh yeah so round one we're gonna we're gonna kick off with an actor um so I have an actor I will give you character names that this actor has played okay okay uh character names that this actor has played okay okay uh character names Okay. Let's start with Brian for characters. Yep. I'm going to go a little bit more. I'm getting a call. I'm going to go. Do I want to go aggressive?

I don't think I want to go aggressive on this one. I'm going to say four. Four. Okay. I can. do it in I'm feeling now I'm asking myself

the same question I'm going to do two I'll try to try to avoid Brian's three yep and and I will take the one because you know

who knows if you pick the right the right character name who knows if I'll have a chance with it all right Brian here's the character name that you get

Roman Nagel Roman Nagel The name Roman sounds really familiar The last name doesn't Patrick Nagel is all I think of Yeah exactly the artist Yeah Yeah

Um Roman Nagel What's something weirdly familiar about that name There really is yeah Was there Oh, that's what's fun about these. It really is, exactly. It just tickles that little bit of memory.

I've got nothing. I'll say Kieran Culkin. No, not a bad guess, but no. Oh, it's not a bad guess, is it? All right. Say McCullough. Scott. You get a second character.

So we have Roman Nagel. Your other character is Tony P. He's in our, He's in our tadpool. I see stuff in that guy all the time. He does. Tony P. Tony P.

Is it spelled P-E-E? Is it spelled P-E-E? P-period. I don't know. Tony P. No, he was one of two Tonys in this movie, so they had a Tony P and a Tony F. Oh, gotcha. Okay.

Oh. Two Toney. Does that help? Does that help me? I don't know if it does. um Tony P and you're not just abbreviating it they called him Tony P in the movie

right you're not it's not like hey it's in the movie they call him Tony Peterson but you're saying Tony P is the name they gave him the character is called Tony P yes right okay that is correct um shit

sounds like a mob name I was gonna say guess somebody from a Scorsese film yeah Tony P Uh, Al Pacino. I have no idea. Al Pacino is a fun guess, but no.

A fun guess. A fun guess. Not a good guess, but a fun guess. Damn it. You know, Brian, you get two more. Right.

Because you initially set four. So here's where that ruling comes into play. So we've got Roman Nagel. We've got Tony P. He also played a character named Sir Miles Axelrod Oh, what is that? I know, that's super familiar.

A character named General Eric Felligable. I have no idea if that is. Doesn't help either. Give me the Axelrod full. Sir Miles Axelrod. Sir Miles Axelrod. Oh, my gosh.

It's a hard one. Miles Axelrod. Tony P. I will admit this was a tough one to find a lot of good character names beyond the first two. Sure. I'm guessing there's a couple really obvious ones. Wow. I've never known a real axle rod in my life.

No, I mean, neither. You hear them sometimes. I know there's others, but I don't, never met one. I'm going to say. a general, like, that makes me want to go with like a more, a more established, bigger, bulkier actor. I was going to go with a Joey, Joey Pants, but I don't see him ever playing a general. But I can see him playing a Tony P. Yeah, that's true.

I can see him playing a Roman. But I can't picture him playing a general. Let's say Let's say Nick Nolte Nick Nolte Nick Nolte is another fun guest But alas, no It's fun

Nick Nolte would be a great general Well, he was one He was one, the Hulk The Hulk, right That's probably where I was going, yeah Well, no, he was Bruce's dad And he wasn't he also Oh, Thunderbolt Ross was in that, right

That was the Thunderbolt thing Betty's. Sam Elliott was Thunderbolt Ross in that. I'm a diehard, like, Nick Nolte at the age he's at now fan. I love his stuff right now. Anytime he shows up and just he's got the voice at RFK Jr. And the hair of a psycho and he's just out there tearing it up. I love that guy.

I want him to just, I'll play every role like you looked in that famous mugshot, you know? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I love it. So our actor was Eddie Isard. Oh, really? Okay. Roman Nagel was their character in the Oceans 12 and 13. Oh, right.

Which was a fun one when they had the second in 13 when they had like their rival. Roman's rival was Greco. Oh, right. I forgot he was even in that. We're about to watch that second one. We are. I know. If you would have asked us this question a week from now, we probably would have both done that.

Yeah. What's the general role? The role is a general in. That was from Valkyrie. Oh, wow. Oh, right, that one with Tom Cruise. She was in Valkyrie. I never saw that.

I need to see that. I knew that. Tony P. was mystery men. Okay. Disco boys. That's why it's familiar. And Sir Miles Axelrod was her role in Cars 2. Cars 2.

Yeah. Oh, man. Eddie Izards. We got her pronouns run. Oh, they're all over the place. They change. So just know that. But when they were presenting as a he,

but dressed as a she however that works back in I can't remember the year of this stand-up special but it's a blue cover of the DVD it is one of the funniest laugh out loud roll around on the couch laughing comedy specials I've ever watched in my entire life it's dressed to kill that's it lucky Phil that's it so good oh my gosh anyway sorry all right that is that is up there with like robin williams live on Broadway for me is some of the funniest stand-up I've ever heard. Yeah, it's really good. Brian,

if you've never seen Dress the Kill, you should... I've never seen it. No, I need to see it apparently. Fantastic. All right.

All right. So nobody gets round one. Round two. Scott, you're going to start our bidding. I have a comic book character. Oh, wow.

And I'm going to give you powers or abilities associated with this character. And I have, we're going to start the bidding. You can start the bidding at four. Okay. So, Scott,

you will start with it. They only have four powers so we can't go higher than that i'm going to attempt to go oh just i don't think he's going to make this easy so i'm going to say three no because i remember last time was like uh really good with martial arts and weapons yeah yeah yeah because it's so broad you're not it's going to be hard to narrow it down so i'm going to say i'll start with three we'll see where this takes us okay all right brian i i'll i got to do too i'm not I'm not going to go one on this one. I've got to do two.

Scott, you want to try for one? All right, so clear this up for me. If I try for one. And you still get the three if I miss the two. If you miss the two. If Ryan misses the two. Since I've ever done this before, let's try it. I'll try it. I'll try it in one. I mean, you did it, but I want to see how this feels. Sure, sure, sure, yeah.

No whether I should ever do this again. This may be a huge mistake. You're one, Scott. you're going to love this highly skilled martial artist shut up really not even kidding the worst part is you didn't say Marvel you didn't say DC just said comic book which could be anything could be anybody from stick to freaking

Shang chi could be anybody it could be anybody um hell it could be batman could be uh all right i don't think we'd have four powers for batman oh that's a good point right rich unless rich is a power yeah rich uh filthy rich and very very filthy rich um all right um

holy crap dude and the theme the eddie izard part isn't helping me It doesn't really give you any sort of edge yet. Yeah, I need a couple more of those. Because I don't think there's any mystery men with that many powers. So I don't even think that's our theme. Damn it. You get a fart for that one. All right, Brian.

Brian. we've got a highly skilled martial artist another highly intelligent kind of genius level and intellect speaks a lot of languages okay that's both of those this is really hard

um hello we wee poo poo now it'll kick your butt with martial arts exactly yes uh comic character genius level IQ IQ IQ and martial artist

um um let's say um oh oh geez uh death stroke oh that's pretty good I like that I like that guess

it's wrong but I like that oh that's pretty good yeah this so all right Scott you get you get a third one because You initially guessed three. Yeah. And this will help give it away, unfortunately.

Okay. The first two were pretty broad, but this comic book character has a pet dragon. Oh, this, oh, shit. Stop, brain, slow down. It's, uh, um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, Ozimandias. No? Is he have a dragon? The watchman guy

He has a dragon Doesn't he? He had a tiger. Oh shit! So nobody got that one. Our fourth ability, by the way, is intangibility or phasing. Kitty pride, Shadowcat.

Lockheed the dragon. Yep. I forgot about that dumb dragon. I didn't even think about her, like, the fact that she's got, I mean, I guess all your X-Men have martial arts training because today in the danger room it's all going to be martial arts. Storm, you were so close

with rogues, surprisingly. To me it was so the Ozzy Mandia's thing fit also because hyperintelligence, that was his main beef, right? That he was smarter than everybody, so he knew how to do everything. He was good at hand-to-hand fighting, really good at it.

And he's, and he had a pet. Freaking tiger, not a dragon. An unusual pet, but shit. Unusual pet, but nope, not Lockheed, Which I love Lockheed. I do, too. They're great except for the military contracts they've had for like 60 years. Oh, you don't mean Lockheed Martin.

Okay. No, no, no. Okay. Fair enough. All right. So, so far nobody has a point going into round three. Brian, you're going to start our bidding on our musical round, our song. So the clip lengths I have are 1-2-4-7 in 10 seconds.

one, two, four, seven, ten. And I will say these all come from the opening of the song. Gotcha. Okay. So it's got a recognizable opening. Scott's proven that he, that he's more of a danger with songs than he probably even believes he is. So I'm going to play full-on defense and go one second. And I might, I might regret it, but I'm going to do it. And that's the lowest one, right? There's no other. That's the lowest one. Okay. All right. Go for it. I want to hear this. all right brian here's your one second of this song

oh there you go that is your vinyl's uh the song by a culture club called carma chameleon coming at you that is correct jeez okay who knew that first second was so recognizable in that song it's so so recognized like immediately without it you could have done 0.5

and we'd have gotten it yeah probably just that Yeah, exactly. Oh, nice job, Brian. That was good. Smart move to go the second on that. That was great. Yeah.

Oh, my gosh, yeah. If I would have done two and you would have done one, you would have had it easily. I easily would have it. Good job. All right. Okay. Finally, a point is scored in this game. Yes.

A point is scored. We're at round four. Round four is going to be a singer or a musician. And I'm going to give you titles of their songs. Scott, you will start our bidding. I have five songs chosen. My brain is so trying hard, so hard to find the theme here, but I can't do it. I'm sorry, tell me what's my, what's my rule again?

Or what's my, what am I picking? Picking song titles. Name the artist. Name the artist. I will give you titles, you name the artist. Let's go. I'm going to have to try to get this. Now the question, see, that's why that's an interesting play to do two.

And then you say one because that third could really put me over. But if it's, but it's also a musician. And Brian's very good in this category. This is where you're great. This is where this is. Songs I'm okay. Songs I can do. But the artists and like who covered what and how far back it got.

I don't know that shit. Right. I love the guess. I'm going to just try it. I'm just going to try it. I'm going to say one. I don't know. Oh, wow.

Okay. I'm going for it. Going for it, okay. Because I feel like Brian would get it in one if I don't. All right, Scott, here is your one song. Your song. Oh. Come on.

Oh, Elton John. Yeah. Is it Elton John? Of course it is. Wait, what's the theme, though? How does this work? Oh, I know the theme. Trying to find.

Oh, it's June. It's June. it's pride month and trying to find like song titles that would be getable but also not like like number the fifth one I had was Rocket Man

sure but it's just Nikita would have been a good one for Scott I think that might have stumped potentially stumped him I may have gotten Nikita I would have probably gotten that I would not get anything from oh man

Madman across the like some of those early yeah I would have been hosed on early stuff. But like goodbye Yellow Brick Road would have been too easy. Yeah. Even more of it in the wind or some shit like that. Right. Right. Wow. Yeah. See now that was all about hedging my bets and I just got I got lucky. That was a good defensive play because yes. If you would

have said two, I would have said one that would have easily have had that. So good defensive play there. Does that mean we tied? Now we need a we need a breaker. Is that what you've got for us? So we are we have round five. Yeah. You're tied one one. round five we're doing another actor but this is going to be titles that this actor appeared in so movie titles okay Brian you will start our bidding

now I know he's he's one of them gays yes I'm going to do I'm going to say two it's it leaves me a little bit of if he doesn't get in one because I'm sure he's gonna he's gonna There's no reason for him not to say one, but I'm going to do two just in case that one doesn't give it to him.

All right. Scott, do you want to try and one? Yeah, I'll try it in one. All right. Scott, your title is, Batman Returns. Do you say an actor? Yes. Okay, because the director is also, oh, no, no, sorry.

That was still Tim Burton. But what's his name? The other two, he's, I believe he's gay. Um, a shoemaker, anyway, uh, boy, howdy, returns. It's not Danny DeVito. I don't think it's Christopher Wachin, unless I'm unaware of something. Um, um,

um, who's in that? I mean, Wawken's a little, walking, walking, Wocken's known for being a little fluid. I don't know, I'm going to say Christopher Wawken, I don't know. Shoot. Is that it? Christopher Wocken is a great guess. It's wrong.

Oh, I thought the recent news about Christopher Wacken saying he's bisexual, I thought, dang it, Scott got it. Oh, wow. All right. Brian, you've got a chance. I do. Brian, you've got a second movie. so we had Batman Returns

and our other movie is Buffy the Vampire Slayer Oh Oh shit God dang it Paul Rubens is correct

Oh yeah Dropping dropping little baby penguin out in the water with Simone I can remember

the actresses name but I forgot he was in that barely in that movie shoot barely in it but he was friends with Tim Burton well done

oh my goodness oh my that's great that was good and he's also in mystery men which I should have tied that back too because I guess that's that would have been another another connection another movie actually was was mystery men he's also I forget now I'm not sure if I've seen this movie or not blow with Johnny Depp oh Johnny Depp

it's about the cocaine thing yeah that's right yeah he and he plays a very not peewee style like a like a really hardcore dealer if I remember correctly Yeah. Yep. Crazy, crazy roll for him. And then Buffy, the, uh, eh, ah, uh, Rusty Swanson. Yeah, he was great.

It's the thing I always remember from that movie. It's like basically all I remember from that movie. I've never seen blow. I still need to see that documentary, by the way. I know. I keep being told I need to watch the documentary and I'm, I keep feeling like I need to be in the right mood. You know what I mean?

Sure. Because I have fired it up twice now and gone, I don't know if I'm ready. I don't know if I want to feel, feel things right now. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Um, I never seen Blow either. I kind of want to see Blow. Never saw it. Here it was great. Ted Demi, right? Yeah, I've heard.

It's funny. There's, um, Donnie Brascoe came out like, it feels like right around the same time. They probably were like 10 years apart the movies. I think so. But for whatever reason, I think about, I get those two confused because that was also Johnny Depp and kind of like a not very actiony role. Like he's a, um, undercover cop, I think. Uh, yeah, it's about four. four years difference. Four years of difference. Okay. Yeah. Donnie bruscoe together.

Oh, yeah. So Ted Demi, I always remember this because Ted Demi directed that movie and died the very next year at the very young age of 30 freaking eight. I don't know. It was a heart attack or something, but man, Ted Demi taking too long or too soon. Who's his brother? Jonathan Demi's still around doing stuff. But he did like, what do you call it?

The Silence of the Lambs and stuff. But Ted was great. Anyway, all right, well, there you go. Oh, we also did the ref. I love the ref, dude. The ref is so good. Oh, the ref is so good. Love the ref.

Well, all right then. Wow. We have a winner. We have a winner. Brian's on the board. At least exactly. It won't be a shutout this year. Nope.

What's our totals for the year? Five to one. Yeah, it's five one right now at the halfway mark. Do you have a real chance still? You could come back and whoop me. I have a chance. it's a it's a it's got to really be a rally from behind but um maybe not a maybe not a a pro how do they say probability but a possibility no right whatever exactly yeah someone knows

the odds on this someone tell us what are the odds i don't know what they are i could real i could really blow the next six months we don't know what the next uh six months have in store so if there's any way to calculate the possibility yeah that's true somebody called mitzula You know, with four months, with a lot of months with five Mondays in it, or five Tuesdays in it, there's potential that we might get seven more Travis's before the end of the year. Well, that'd be funny if we had a seventh one as a tiebreaker. That would be awesome. As a tiebreaker, I know. That'd be perfect.

People were hoping for that last year, because I think it did come down to the last couple months and last year. And I think there was some reason we didn't do a show on a Tuesday, and it would have been. it would have been another Travis and it could have tied things up. Yep. Well, this year is, the story of this year is yet to be told. We'll find out next time when we meet with Travis again in July.

Travis, tell people where they can find all your cool stuff before we go. I mean, just anywhere, any social media is on TVs Travis or TVsTravis.com. I'm most active, probably on blue sky, but... Big same. Yeah, anywhere.

All right, cool, man. It's always good seeing you over there and hearing great things from him publicly. Go check out his shows, check out his stuff. It's TV's Travis. Wave to him as he goes. All right, there he goes. All right. We are nearly done. Quick note, Play Retro got pushed. I had to do some stuff for my mother. We have to do that tonight, 4 p.m. Mountain Time. So as a result, 4 p.m. Mountain time, me, done away, doing our Indiana Jones in the Lost City of Atlantis. Yep. Yeah. Going to be super fun.

So if you would like to talk about that age, old point and click adventure, that is still awesome. him today. I can report. Was that a Sierra Games point and click? No, it was LucasArts. It was, oh, of course it would be Lucas Arts. Duh. Yeah, it would, but it was between, you're not wrong to assume one or the other because it's always those two. The visual is the style of it, but yeah, of course, Lucas Arts was all that stuff.

And there's a little bit, I think there may have been a producer or writer or something that they shared, something like that. I don't hear you all of a sudden. Oh, did I cut out on me? Yeah, you cut out on me. Anyway, that'll be tonight. 4 p.m. Mountain, please come. come all. Frogpants.com

slash TMS for all your TMS needs. That'll do it for us. Brian, let's play a song and get out. Sounds like a plan. This one is going out to our friend friend of the show. Wait, no, I take that back. That's tomorrow is the, tomorrow is

friend of the show. I mean, this person is also a friend of the show. Stefan rode in and said, hey, Stargate and Black Rose. I want to start off by saying I am an over-the-road trucker and have listened to TMS for 500 miles and I have listened to it for 500 more. Seriously, though, your show is what I always start my days off with

and it's always a joy to listen to. I'm now celebrating my 40th birthday on June 15th and would love to hear a cover of kissing the lipless by the shins or new slang, if you have it, if not a cover by or of the shins will do. Can I get a fish sandwich hunt guy? Oh, my gosh, yes. Yeah, not bad.

Okay. Oh, I have to go to the thing to do it. Hold on a second. Hold on everybody. Here we go. Okay, we want fish sandwich first. Hey, two are I get a fish sandwich. And then we need a honkaw. There he is. Lovely. Nailed it. Uh, love you and all that you do. Stay happy and healthy signed Stefan the trucker. Nice. Uh, well, cool. Maybe it's Stefan then. I don't know. Stefan, Stefan, Stefan. Anyway, um, uh, new slang. You can't go wrong with new slang covers. I don't have any covers of kissing the lip list, but I do have covers of new slang. And this is one surprisingly that. I haven't played on the show. I pulled it in and did not get the message saying, this is already in the playlist. I've got a 4,536 song playlist of songs we've played on TMS. This is by the Picking On series,

which means it's probably, I think in this case it is cornbread red, as opposed to Iron Horse. Those are the two that usually do your bluegrass tribute albums from those guys. Yeah. Love those guys. Always good. I do too.

exactly and either one they're both they're both really good cornbread red is who i'm assuming this is a new slang by the shins We're all in my mouth Only I don't know how They got out dear Turn me back into the pet I was when we met I was happier than with no mindset

And if you took to me like a Goal takes to the wind Well, I'd jump from my trees and die to dance like the king of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would have fared well New slang when you notice the stripes The dirt in your fries Hope it's right when you die bone and bony

Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall Never should have called Put my head's to the wall And I'm lonely And if you're told to me Like a girl takes to the wind Well I've a job From my trees and I had a dance like the king of the eyesores

And the rest of our lives would have fared well Godspeed all the bakers at dawn May they all cut their thumbs And bleed into their bonds Till they melt away I'm looking in On the good life I might be Do never defy

Without a trust Or flaming fields Am I Too dumb to refine And if you took To me Like, well I'd dance like the queen

Of the eyesores And the rest of our lives Would have fared well You know, And if you're told to me like, well, I'd dance like the queen of the eyesores and the rest of our lives would have fared well. Your Pantsize is frog. You're always welcome at frogpants.com.
