And what is the nature of the trouble? And how is my wife involved in this trouble? How is the chicken? A little greasy. You're just a dumb tool doing its job. The morning stream. F-off, Hairball. Hello, everyone, and welcome to TMS.

It is the morning stream for June 26, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Ibbott. Hi, Brian Nibbitt. Hello. This is it. This is it. This is it.

Yeah, we're right up to the precipice of the MS-150. That's right. You got, what, a day. And is it Saturday or Sunday? It's Saturday morning. Saturday morning. It's the first part one, and then Sunday morning. for part two. Oh, that's right. There's always a part two. It's always part two. 81 miles on

Saturday and then 68 miles on Sunday, which if you're doing the math, it's 149. Not 150. Is a lot of those, that's many miles. That is many miles, yes. That's halfway between me here and, well, let's see. Where would I get? Cedar City? No, about Nephi is where how far I'd have to drive to do that. That's actually a long-ass amount of time to be on a bike. Yes, it is. It totally is. Holy shit. Now you know why that chode butter is so important, Scott. No kidding.

And the good chode, but you need the stuff that lasts all 149 miles. Yeah, well, I've got the big tubes, big thanks to Mike Pacholic for sending me, not one, but two of the big tubes of shammie butter, which will last me a few years. Don't worry. It's like at least a couple of years. I don't, I don't, there's no slathering yourself. There's a diminishing, a lot of diminishing returns. Yeah, like you can, you get to a point where when you're coded, you don't need to add any more than that. Yeah.

But then I've also got little, they're little tubes provided free by the MS150 folks. They just had a big bin of them. They're like, grab a handful, shove them in your bike bag. So if I get to rest stop number four and I'm like, oh, starting to chafe a little bit, then I can sneak into a porta potty and reapply. The problem is, I apply and I've got this goo on my hand. What am I doing with it? Yeah, walk out, wipe it on the first guy you see. Just the first dude you see, just go,

exactly. Just goes, hey, buddy, good to see you, pat, pat, pat, pat. Yeah, just wipe it down the front of his stupid bib-looking shirt. Exactly, exactly. Oh, man, this is going to be great. I'm excited for you. It's going to do great. I'm looking forward to it.

It's going to be fun. I've got one last big ride today, one last training ride, and I'm going to redo the, the white, ranch farm bypass add on to my other big rides so it's like an extra extra big hill and an extra five five miles added on so it'll be a 18 to 20 mile ride today that's good and then and you're not going into this one with one of those summer colds like you had one year like you're healthy you're feeling good like this is great you're going to come out awesome on the other side i'm going in with back problems but that's it but i have found that um that that

But if I'm leaning forward on the bike, as long as I'm in that position, I'm great. Getting off the bike, getting on the bike, little achy, but once I'm on the bike, I'm fine. So it's more incentive to stay on the bike, I guess. Yeah, no, it's so great. You hold that position. You should be good. That's right. Yeah, they do have sinks.

They have, like, so in the porta poti, they've got that little, like, a little water pump thing. Or no, I'm sorry, outside the porta potty, they've got those little. they're like little portable sinks and you step on the pump to pump water under your hands and wipe them off so yes there's a there's a way to get the the gooch lube off of off of my hands didn't know they had a

I've never seen that I don't think I guess been close enough to one to notice I guess I'll send you video are they all like this like every porta pod blue or green porta potty has an outdoor no no no and it's a separate little deal so like you've got the porta potties and then a separate little like they have two in front of every

six porta potties um back to backhand washing stations that operate off the same tank of water gotcha yeah well that's good that's convenient you know that's true i could i could actually biocals not a not a bad idea i uh could pack a few pairs of um um um rubber gloves uh and then just oh yeah just like the doctor does with the old when they when he does the old check in the lube when they used to do it finger uh yeah yeah take it off slap it do when you put it on you have to smack it like they do it in the movies. Yep, yep.

Like the woman on the front of that Blink 182 album. Oh, yeah, dude. I always forget. I always forget that's not a winger album for some reason. I see it. My first glance at that album cover and I go, oh, it's like winger or some 80s rock band. There's a little bit of a winger, right?

Because the winger album I always think of as the woman, the waitress who's dropping the cherry pie off of her plate and it's perfectly aligned in its fall to wear. Yeah. they're not hiding they're not no it's like by the way if you didn't know what we meant by cherry pie here's a diagram yeah here's a helpful illustration to show you here's a photo of how it's gonna go that's right hey can i show you something we went to cost plus yesterday i don't know what that is is that a store oh it's uh you remember pier one yeah i do remember peer one um this is like the

the new equivalent of pier one imports but they have a lot of food so like we get we get our olive oil there because they've got the best olive oil. But you can also get those like jammy Dodger cookies and weird Kit Katz and weird flavored Oreos and things like that. Gotcha.

And they've got a little section of licorice. And of course they have all the Australian Wallabies licorish, which is when I go to the hardware store, for whatever reason, Ace Hardware carries this weird wallaby Australian black licorish. But after And this kind of leads right into the first thing that we want to talk about.

They had Dutch licorice. After all the talk we did last week about, on the feud of Dutch licorish, I picked up some Gustav's Dutch licorice. And they had a bunch of different kinds. This is the beagles variety. Oh, look at they're all little beagles in there. They are shaped like little beagles. Oh, man. They have cats as well.

But the difference is it's not just the shape. It's also the firmness. and they had salted licorish and just keep that stuff far away from me. I want no part of that. Me neither. But the beagles are a soft black licorish, a semi-soft black licorish. Yeah. And guess what?

If I want hard, firm licorish, I'll just leave some of these out in the sun for a little bit. Yeah, you don't have to do much to make those get all solid and hard, yeah. Exactly. So this is... That's great. Put a few of these in a plastic in a Ziploc bag and have these in my bag as well. because I like chewing on gum or an atomic fireball or something while I'm writing, just kind of give me something to do.

Yeah. It gets dull after four hours. Plus a little, you know, a little shot of sugar, never hurt nobody on the ride. A little shot of sugar, no, never hurt. And it'd be great if somebody came up with an energy black licorice, but I'll see that happening anytime soon. No, especially not the black. I wish I had the like of the black that you do.

I know that it's got it's people love it who love it, right? People are into it if they're into it. But man, I have a hard time with it. Even the sweetest of it, I just like, blah, can't do it. You know what? It's, you know, every flavor is not for everyone. And I would say black licorice is one of those things that there is the majority of people probably don't like black licorice. That would be a great straw poll.

Oh, yeah, that'd be fun. And you know what part of the pole should be? We have to figure out across the data because I have a feeling. I could be wrong, but I have a feeling. No, no, no. I think that there's a combination of people who, if you don't like black liquor, there's a higher chance that you might not like root beer floats because there's a similar flavor there sure root beer's got a bit of a licorish black liquorish vibe to it and I wonder so does

Dr. Pepper for that matter but I wonder if there's a crossover there you know like if there are people like me where they won't touch the black liquorish and they definitely won't have the the root beer float maybe we have a certain side supertaster business interesting yeah I'd be curious I know the winter green like somebody pointed out yesterday the winter green flavor and root beer flavor very similar you can you can convince yourself when you're having a winter green certs that that it's a very sharp root beer flavor you just have to kind of think about it while you do it you have to think about it while you do it exactly i'm going to try that later just to mess with myself we have a lot of people so let's see uh love floats hate black licorish three people just said xeric tallia and redlings like root beer hate black licorish okay well i don't mind root beer again it's not the root beer is my problem it's the combo. Exactly. Yeah,

it's the combination. So I'm not, I mean, three of you is not a good sample study. We need more. We need more voices, more people to chime in.

Maybe we'll do a straw pole. Yeah. Spread it around. I think a straw pole would be interesting, yeah. Yeah. It's interesting.

Like this is where we want to do like a Google form because you would want to cross the data. Like, all right, where, you know, of the people,

what's the percentage of people who don't like black licorish that don't like group floats and see if that's a higher percentage of that that slice like you're saying yeah it's find a correlation there you know or i could be dead wrong and it's all none not related which is probably likely if i had to guess but yeah we shall see uh brian you brought up the dutch stuff and here's the here's the funny thing uh i didn't preview any of today's calls but i have a feeling that these two from dr nicky they put their name and there's a subject line i have a feeling that

this call from her is a beef with the dutch stuff because there's two of the calls and I combined them. Yeah. So what is... And she posted something in the Discord saying that she was going to send them. And she never replied to my question, which was, ooh, are you, are you, is it something that we said or is it something that came up just the Tadpool's choices on that day? Yeah.

You know, uh, reflected, uh, what they thought Dutch food was. So we're going to find out now. Sounds good. The hard way, I guess. This is the hard way. Let's find out the hard way. Because I didn't preview this. I have no idea what she was.

she says. And we love Dr. Nicky, so hopefully she's not too hard on us. We're going to find out right here. Here you go. I just paused the Dutch quiz episode to call in because I cannot deal with the slander anymore. It's Nikki. I'm half Dutch. First of all, stroop waffle, not stroop waffle. Also, Dutch stew is a thing, even though the tadpole didn't know it. The Dutch actually don't have a lot of foods. But Bitterballin is one of them. And it is not a meatball. It's more like deep fried. If you've had a croquette, well, it's also Dutch. But Kind of like a stew almost that's deep fried, and they're incredible. And don't slander them because they're one of my favorite foods, even though I'm vegetarian.

They sound awesome. Yeah. So this merch. Oh, yeah, this is also what I wanted to say. Gouda is pronounced Gouda. It's actually a town that my parents live near for a while. You can go there and see the cheese getting rolled around on the ground. And Edam is also a town.

So thank you, Brian, for pronouncing Edom right. Anyway, oh yeah, and look up rice taffel, R-I-J-S, because it's Dutch spelling. You might like that one. I love the show though. It's over one minute. Sorry. Okay, bye. Dutch stuff part two. You're probably not going to play this, but I just needed to do it. What else is Dutch? Schnert is a split-piece soup. And I love this as a kid because it sounds like snot and it looks like snot. So that's a fun one. That's pretty good. Pompreet is what you're thinking about. And Oloch is what Scott mentioned. That's actually my favorite kind of fries. So it is fries in satay sauce, which is unsweetened peanut butter with mayonnaise and chopped onions. Oloch means war, and it looks like a war zone. knock it till you try it. This shit is delicious and you don't know mayonnaise until you've tried Belgian or Dutch mayonnaise. Okay, now I'm done. Love you guys.

Why Dutch mayonnaise? What's the, now I need to know more about that. I want to know. I didn't see any Dutch mayonnaise at cost plus. Maybe I need to look again. Yeah. Curious about that. Yeah, I'd be curious about that. Man, um, Dutch. I don't know. I don't know. I mean,

okay, shhup waffle. Schrupparafel. you're born i know i'm butchering it more than calling it stroopwafel is you know well i've never heard it said any other way by anyone so this is all news to me and the other one what is the other one she said but guda yeah howda yeah hoda i've only ever heard guda everywhere i've ever heard the word gudda of course because it's been westernized you know i mean even but even like i hear where did i hear it recently in a british thing oh i was listening to the old um uh final cut a two-disc album from Monty Python.

And they have the cheese shop episode. Oh, yes, yes. They say Gouda. What's his name? The dog and the guy and the cheese and the cartoon. Walson Gramit. He says Gouda. The guy and the cheese.

The thing and the flavor. I'm guessing that everybody outside Dutch ancestry will say Gouda and everyone else. Maybe. I'm not going to, what am I going to do? What am I going to do? Go over to Smith's here and go, excuse me. I would like four ounces of go-h-h-h-h-h-h-ha-h-ha. Can we get, you probably can't find just where she says go-h-hoda.

I might. Let's see. I can try. I want to work on this. That was early on, right? That she said that? It was early, it was in part one, and it was, yeah, it was fairly early on. Okay, let's see if I can find it.

Stetched-st-do. Okay, almost found it. We're almost there. Okay. Okay. No. Uh. Okay. Gouda. Here it is. I found it. All right. All right. I'm going to copy this out and then we're going to hear it. Oh, good. Okay. Yeah. So we'll just call that.

Today we are going to be learning how to pronounce the Goudas. I love that guy. That comes from a town near where Nikki's parents used to live. Land. All right, here we go. Gouda is pronounced Gouda. Okay. Chowda. Chowda.

Gouda. Gouda. Gouda. All right. Sounds like chowder. I'm in. I'm in for, it is kind of like a chowder. Yeah.

Chowder. Clam chowda? How do you do? Yeah. How do you do? All right. We learned a little something today. Thank you.

How do you pronounce Gouda? Yeah. I was honestly word she was going to really be coming after us, but apparently this is all very nice. This is a nice call. It is very nice. My gosh. Why can't you all be this nice when you're correcting us?

Yeah, for real. Man, some of you just are downright snotts when it comes to how you correct us. It made me question my like whether I should preview the call or not. Because I usually don't because I like to be surprised along with you in the audience and everything. But sometimes I'm like, should I, that headline looks a little scary. Should I go through this call for? Yes. Oh, no, I'm glad you did.

Leave it to Dr. Nikki to be our, you know, our friendly neighborhood. hood, a Dutch correction person officer. Yeah, there you go. Comptroller. Comptroller. Comptroller. Comptroller. All right, here is our second call today.

This one, all I know about it is it's from somebody named Chuckles and it's regarding minis and painting and 3D stuff. So let's find out what he has to say. Oh, it's one of these AI converted things that they did. So you can do that when you call in. Just know it's not me. It's them. Here we go.

Hi, guys. Chuckles here. Charles is my real name. Anyway, couple questions. First, I have been listening to the show for the last seven years or so, and for all that time, Brian has made sniffing noises on his mic a lot. Why is that? Is he allergic to the sound of Scott's voice?

My big question is if either of you have gotten into Warhammer figure painting at all? I know Brian is doing a lot of 3D printing and painting, and Scott does a lot of digital art. I just wonder if any of that has ever bled into the world of warmer Sigma or 40K, painting or tabletop gaming. Thanks and love the show, though. Warhormer, not Warhammer. Okay. Wow.

I need the, ha-ha. The ha-ha was pretty great. Ha-ha. It's like Liam Neeson. They're going to take you. Ha-ha. Ha-ha. It's like bad, bad anime translation or something like that. That's right.

All right. Do I still sniffle a lot on the, boy, I didn't think I, didn't think. I still did. I know if I, if I feel like I've got to blow my nose, I don't, I don't wait until any moment in the show. I'd do it right. Well, you know, I'll be in the middle of a story and I'll start blowing my nose. But, uh, once in a while, but I don't notice it that really? Yeah. Now I'm going to be hyper aware of that. Totally going to be hyper aware. The chat would have to tell us if it's any different, but I don't think it's all that noticeable. I think it's like rare. I mean, here's where people in the chat are going to type in all caps, sniff. Every time I, every time I sniff. Oh, yeah, I didn't even think of that. It's going to happen. Oh, Monica. I noticed it. Yeah.

Well, you and I both have that misophonia, so we, you know, we're very irritated by sounds. Yeah, I got. I didn't do it, Zerick. Or is that just, are you creating the macro? Yeah, they've got to have a quick macro to be able to hit that thing and be ready for it. That's fantastic. Regarding the paintings and the minis and stuff, I have not. My son is currently getting into this, even though I think it's too expensive for him at the stage of his life, but whatever.

But painting minis is cool. He's doing mostly Sigma stuff. I would be more down the 40K route, but it's really just a time thing for me. I don't have the time. And I don't play the tabletop stuff. I love all things 40K, like the books, the animated stuff. that's the recent thing in that secret level episode was one of my favorite things I've ever seen the video games, all that stuff I'm way into, but the minis, I'm just not I know we got some listeners are way, way, way into this so they're probably going to pipe in, but

that's where I'm at with it. Have you considered like 3D printing any of that kind of thing and doing any of that? Not Warhammer stuff, but you know, for a little while very, very briefly, I was printing a few of those Warcraft

What's the, what was the, um, moba? Um, not really a moba. They're, their, their mobile game, uh, where they had the little. Oh, the new, the one that, it's still out. Um, yeah. Uh, work, craft. Still very popular, too. Legend, no.

No. They had a longer name and then they changed it. Rumble. That's it. Rumble. That's it. Um, because the, Blizzard made all of the, the art files available as downloadable STLs.

So, you know, if there's a, if there's a mini that people want from Warcraft Rumble, I'm able to print those. And I actually, I actually have, you requested a hunter, a gnome hunter that I still have sitting over there that I printed for you and just never sent to you, even though I've sent things, you know, to you since then. Sure. Sure. Yeah, I forgot. They made all those available, didn't they, for the whole series. They made all available. Yeah, that's pretty cool.

So what, so what would, is there a franchise or a collection or something that you would say, oh my God, I want to collect those and I want to paint them? Is there like a franchise that would make you, make you jump on it? Probably, I mean, a really cool detailed DC set of miniatures or... I mean, obviously I'd love like Fury Road stuff. DC or Marvel would be cool. I think like, whenever. this comes up, I think a custom

chess set for some reason. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. And I would love a Warhammer 40K chess set. So you've got your emperor looking, you know, Prey Ark, whatever head dude on the one side. You got the front line is all, on the one side anyway, it's all space marines on the other side. It's Orks.

Just really build out and paint a full set of 40K chess. Oh my gosh, dude. I'd be in heaven. I'd play chess more for what I do. I kind of would be cool to have a Marvel versus DC chess set, you know, like you... That would be awesome.

I love that. Who would you make your king and queen on the Marvel side if you had to pick? So on the Marvel side, you'd, let's see. Queen probably Captain Marvel. I'm just trying to think of who... It's a good one. Yeah, I think Captain Marvel, and I don't think, I think Spider-Man you have as one of your pawns, even though he's one of the biggest characters.

I think he's not kingly like... like a, um, uh, a Reed Richards or a, um, actually Tony Stark. I guess Iron Man would be your, your king. It's a pretty good king. Yeah. Iron man. And then, uh, and then, oh, Storm would be a good queen or, or, uh, invisible woman, says easy reader. That would be pretty good. Um, um, collectus. Yeah. You'd actually have a real bishop as bishop. Yeah. If you, and you, and you do two of them because you got to, you have to dupe your bishop. So, you have to have a pair of a pair of bishop.

but of course Bishop would be one of them. Yeah. I like the idea of all of the ponds being differently posed Spider-Men, but clearly Spider-Men. Oh, or Spider-Verse. So, like, you've got Spider-Man, Spider-Gwen, I don't know if you would do Venom. Venom's almost too big, but all the different variants, Spider-Punk, like, have eight different Spider-Man variants from the Spider-Verse as your pawns. You could almost do a Spider-Man set, like the whole chessboard is... Oh, you easily could, right?

And then all your rogues gallery, so Doc Ock would be the king and... Madam Webb maybe is the queen. You go nuts with that. Rooks could be venom. Yeah. That's not bad. So if it was D.C. versus Marvel. So on the D.C., Superman's obviously...

Superman Wonder Woman is your king and queen. Kind of an easy. Yeah, that's pretty easy. Choice there. Batman is your knight. 100% Batman's your knight. And the thing about knights is they've got that L move, right? So you'd need somebody who's very versatile.

Batman's perfect for that. And in the Marvel side, or Marvel evil side, you'd want to use like, not Hobgoblin, but Green Goblin to be good. Green Goblin would be a good. Very maneuverable, right? Yes, right. I like that. Oh, you could go nuts with this stuff.

You could. Oh, yeah. No, Robin could be the ponds on the D.C. side, says Hammond, or, you know, again, it could be the Green Lantern Core, right, for all your ponds. Oh, I like that, too. All of these are cool. All of them. Yeah.

Every damn one of them. Let's make them. Oh, Zoe says there are Marvel versus DC Chessets. Of course, there are nothing. No idea that I can come up with has not already been done. No, it's already been done. Everything. It's the internet.

We live in the modern internet time. There's no way around it. Yeah. Well, thank you, Chuckles and Dr. Nicky for your thoughts and your feelings today. We appreciate it. and my name is i like i've been listening to the morning stream for seven there was the beginning of that was even funny because it came across as so serious oh yeah very and my real name is charles oh and i isolated this now ha ha ha ha ha oh good good job ha ha ha ha whenever whenever we have

a joke that just doesn't land right ha we'll do that it's it's the jeb bush please laugh yeah please laugh please laugh please clap please laugh please clap that's right yes oh my guy dude boy never never thought i'd wish that we would have elected jeb bush oh i'll take any of them i never thought i would have i never thought i'd get to a day where i wish we elected i'd tell i'll take any of them though i think we dodged a bush we dodged a bullet dodging bushes left and right uh we dodged a bullet with uh i never want teg trues

in charge of anything i don't want him in charge of like making sure everyone gets drinks or anything nothing no no exactly keep him out exactly sucks ass yeah uh all right you guys time for some news someone in texas gonna write in talk to me how great he is yeah keep it to yourself he's really good we you know when he was when he was leaving during covid to go on vacation and break the um break the the the the mandated curfew he was he was really saving us all yeah wasn't that i thought that was he left during the horrible snowstorm that almost took texas out wasn't that the deal i thought it was was it was the snowstorm i thought it was okay

I can't remember. He, yeah, I think so. Well, it was whatever they, all the power went out or something. Like, basically, he was traveling without a mask when everybody was on lockdowns and something. Ah, I can't remember. Oh, Hammond confirms it was the freeze. Wasn't there something? There was some other thing he did, though, during COVID lockdowns.

Probably. That's right. Yeah, that's right. It was the power. Yeah. So it was the power thing. The freeze knocked out all the power. And then he went to Cancun.

Yeah. Pud. Pud monkey. He's such a pud monkey. All right. Time for the news. Let's do it. Let's get into it. It's brought to you by. Brought to you by today's Coverville. It'll take place after a ride. The ride comes first because it's going to be about 75 degrees when we're done with this show. And that's right on the, right on the top end of my preferred riding temperature. But when I get back and I've had a shower and had lunch, we're going to do Coverville. And today you're going to hear covers of Carly. Simon who's turning 80 I know Carly Simon you're thinking what

but hear me out hear me out nobody does it better you're so vain anticipation she's great I like her she's great she's actually she's up there and you're getting here covers by folks like The Feeling and Todd Rundgren and even Morrissey

that's right Morrissey covering Carly Simon oh I want to give you can I give you something to play as a little tease sure let's do it what do you got let me put it in a discol As long as it doesn't get us, you know, booted from streaming. I think we should be okay. I, I, boy, I feel like this is, if this is copyrighted.

Let's give it a shot, find out. Yeah, jump in maybe 45 seconds into the song if you're going to play it. Here we go. Who is that? That is Jack Klugman. What? Why? Why is he doing it?

Because the Odd Couple released an album in 1973 called The Odd Couple Sings. And it's Tony Randall and Jack Klugman. And the two of them duet on Your Sovain. And it's basically like back and forth, of course, of course, Oscar, I'm going to wear an apricot ascot. Oh, my gosh. The things people in the 70s thought were funny. I know. I know. They did one for Laverne and Shirley had an album of songs. Yeah. Leonard Nimoy with his business in the late 60s. Right, right. Shatner, of course, classic stuff.

Yeah. It's unfortunate we don't. You see that now, nobody gets all worked up about it. You hear like, oh, what's our name? Emma Stone made an album. We all kind of go, oh, let's hear what that sounds like. But back in the day, it was just like a sign that your career was going to shit. It kind of was, but it was also the quality of these things has changed, right? I mean, you're not going to get a, the cast of, it's always sunny in Philadelphia doing a cover album. Although I would totally listen to that. I would love to hear that too, absolutely. But like you are going to get, you know, Scarlett Johansson, who's got a pretty good voice doing an album of Tom Waits covers or Minnie Driver, who I played earlier this week with her incredible voice.

So it's, you know. They're often trained. now too they have voice vocal training yeah yeah and and it's also you know these are the people who grew up doing theater and doing musicals and things like that and then then went into movies and tv and said well i kind of want to go back and do some do some music yeah yeah jeremy renner robert downy junior robert downy junior's album is actually really good i need to hear that i don't i didn't even know that was a thing he does a cover of uh that sung by yes um cause it's time is time in your time and news. Oh, I love that song.

Robert Downey, F.N. Jr., really? Yeah, yeah, and it's good. I'm seeking that out after the show. That's wild. Okay, it's called Your Move. Robert Downey Jr., your move. That's wild. All right, I will do that. Or I'll just put it in our Discord because, of course, I've got it. Yeah, of course, yeah, you definitely have it.

We have all the songs. Hey, Brian, I have a song in mind. Do you have it? Of course he has it. Of course I do. Which version would you like? The original version or the remix? Yeah, there's no doubt. I'll bet you money. I've got many, many, many clips I've made for this show,

a little short, little bumpers and everything. I have a ton. I'll bet it still not quite to the level of the library you have of music. I just can't. I can't imagine. Of course not. That'd be silly to assume otherwise. Yeah, do you want to know a current count of songs in my library?

The physical, I mean physical. Digital songs. It's funny, though. We kind of think of them as physical now, don't we? Because of the change and streaming and stuff. Tangibly have them. uh 1202,421 songs in my library that I have to well I don't have to have all of them if we're just talking covers because those I need to have the covers obviously to do the

um to do the show to do coverville um 46,913. Jeez. And there's probably a lot more that I don't have labeled. This is this is if the song is labeled as a cover. And there's probably a lot in my library that I never got around to labeling. So as a comparison, I just checked all the bumper files I've ever made for TMS. These are just MP3s

I play on the show. It doesn't include music or anything else. 15,08 54. Not even close. And I thought that was a lot. It is a lot. But what Brian has is ridiculous. I have more Beatles covers than you have bumpers for the show.

That's good. and Jack Klugman, and they're happily doing this one. But anyway, that sounds great. I'm looking forward to it. I like Carly Simon. I like her a lot. Yeah. You know what?

She's got big old Joker lips, but those lips can sing. I sure can. I think those are hanging low now that she's 80? I think there's just like drooping? Oh, probably. They're probably, yeah. Mine will. We ever find, I guess it was always that big anticlimactic finding out about who your

so vain was finally about, like, well, it's actually about a group of people. I used a bit of Mick Jagger and a little bit of Warren Beatty and and blah, blah, blah. Wasn't, uh, do I always put her and Paul Simon together just because of the name? I probably do that.

I think so, yeah. They weren't actually together. Never, never a couple that I know of, yeah. He's about four feet shorter than her anyway. He was too hooked on Princess Leia and Edie Perckel to ever hang out with Carly Simon. That's right. Boy, that guy's seen some stuff.

I bet he's seen some cocaine use. I'll bet. Oh, geez, yeah. Even if he wasn't using. Anyway, well, that's great. I'd look forward to this one. Yeah, Carly Simon. Today, at some point, go to twitch.tv slash coverville and just click the little button somewhere on there that says notify me when Brian goes live.

That's all you have to do. And then you'll know when I go live and follow me on blue sky and I'll announce it there too. Yeah, and today you'll hear 0.0.1% of his music library today. Yeah, you will. Yes, exactly. Kelly Clarkson is in the news Kelly Clarkson Yeah

Some reason I lost her headline And I don't know why But that's fine I'm gonna just go ahead and say That she had a headline And I'll just read the story Yes Kelly Clarkson

I don't know what happened here But Kelly Clarkson is sharing A Surprise Childhood anecdote During the June 12th episode Of her daytime talk show The 34 Sorry 43 year old host Really? She's already 43

Wow How'd that happen anyway time i guess um was doing an impromptu q and a session with her audience members where a woman who shared that she has two sets of twins asked clarkson about her favorite summer vacation as a kid her response was oh we were poor we didn't do vacations uh we you know went and played in the backyard clarkson then revealed her mom's hilarious vacation hack so well one thing that is funny though is our mother would take my uh school picture and then we would cut it out and then she would post me in front of a desert

She would paste me And we'd glue me into it Like a desert scene Or in the mountains or the Swiss Alps Oh, she was a grassy Or she's on a grassy knoll The idea is that her parents Her mom faked

Vacation photos To impress her friends Just by cutting her head out Also it sounds like Her mom also tried to pin her For the Kennedy assassination Oh shit Because of the grassy knoll

Because of the grassy knoll said she's she's in the mountains she's in the desert she's in the swiss alps and she was on the grassy knoll yeah you think she's only this age but really she was around in 1963 on that grassy knoll taking that second shot uh that's wild i love that yeah pretty great she's done pretty good herself that's singing uh singing poor girl she made good yeah i hope she took took care of her mom yeah she did my grandmother cut out a picture of uh my grandfather's head and pasted it over the face of Uncle George's first wife

in bed after giving birth to George's first biological daughter. Yeah. And so there's this picture of... How bad is it like... It's horrendous. It is the worst this is a shareable moment. All right. Yeah, if you got

handy, I would love to do this. Let's see here. I think I can find it by doing this. I love the searching feature. It's too many photos. I've got a similar one about Carter, which I'll tell you about in a minute. Actually, I'll explain it while you do this.

Yeah, do that exactly. Back in 2001, we took a family picture outside of a huge fountain downtown, and it was really cold, but it looked warm. This was like late winter, early spring, but it was a cold, windy day. And Taylor's like, gosh, she'd have been six. Carter was three. Van was, or Nick was, like, barely born.

He was maybe a month old. Okay. And we're all sitting there, and Taylor's got a smile on her face. Van's, or I keep saying Van, Nick has a smile on his face. Kim and I are both smiling. Carter is throwing a freaking fit. Throwing a pitch in a fit. Really?

Like, just going, eh. Pissiest face. She can't want to be there. It was cold. She was just all mad. So I went in Photoshop, took another shot that we had in there for smiling. And I swapped the faces. But it's so good, nobody knows.

So we have this thing hanging up somewhere. And nobody has any idea. I faked them all out. Oh, my God, that's awesome. Yeah, it's one of our little secret family secrets. That's the thing about the Johnson family. We don't have any good family secrets, like juicy ones. They're all boring, like Scott photoshopped Carter's smiling face over her frowning.

Yeah. So boring. No skeletons here, baby. Well, shoot. Can't find? I thought I could find it quickly. and it didn't come up under my faces of, you know, like how you can search in iTunes or I photo for whatever it's called,

just photos now for somebody's specific face. Yeah. That one didn't come up under my grandfather's face even though there's. Maybe it's because it's so bad. I think it's because it's so bad, exactly. That would not shock me. It's probably so terrible. It was like, no, we're not doing this.

Like scrolling through these as quick as I can. I don't know. If I find it, let's keep going with the show. And if I find it, I'll... Look at these two handsome guys I found while I was looking. Look at that. Yeah, look at these two guys, 2017, up there on stage. 20 pounds lighter for me anyway. Yeah, I was skinnier then, too.

I was definitely skinnier than. Yeah. Although I was on my way up. 2017 was the year I started packing it on. Yeah, yeah. Anyway. Good times. We should do it reticular again.

Oh. You know what? I think we should. Let's think. about 2026 maybe yeah you know uh all right well dang it can't find the photoshop one either i'll give you this you know in the meantime here's this enjoy this uh you come in via discord i got a real horror movie uh still frame going on with Tina's face down there look at that it's like she's the the ring yeah girl yeah that would be like a slow zoom in

There she is. She wasn't really there. She wasn't part of the group. That's great. That was in Japan. Back, that photo was. Look at the, look at you celebrating the stitch that day. That's right.

And Tristan's, Tristan's great expression like. Yeah. He's like, where's the Dutch death metal presentation? That's what he's saying. Exactly. You got love it.

All right. That's awesome. All right, everybody. More news. A German politician. Boy, these Germans. You got to watch out for the Germans. they started two world wars brian i don't know if you know that that's the germans for you yeah yeah oh my god

i found it i found it okay let's see i found the photo all right let's see what you got i didn't search for hospital and it came up that's amazing all right let's see what you got oh that's terrible it is terrible all right here you go this is too good not to share that's amazing like but why is it over the top i mean that's a my grandmother hated george's first wife okay so it's to the point that she put this dude's head there yeah her husband her husband right but on top of the on top of the woman's body giving birth or you know just post giving birth just said you know what i don't even want to see her face but i love you know my other granddaughter And so I'm putting this over.

That is amazing, too. Isn't that fantastic? And it's not even a really good cutout job. Like there's a shadow behind his head. But I wonder how many photos she had to look through to find one that looked like it's looking. It's like one of those Monty Python animations about ready to explode. There is a little bit of a bit. Byakow, you're not wrong.

It's almost like a little bit of a halo effect, a Jesus halo around his head. Yeah, that's really. that's very weird we didn't even know about this until after she passed away and we were going through some some things of old photos that she had to like you know divide amongst the family and we found this and i swear to god we we could not stop laughing for for hours oh that's really great i love it yeah that's next to your this is to me this is as good as your chicken phone thing or not your checking by the bit. Yes. Can I use your phone? Yes. Yeah. This is an all-time A-bit moment here. It's a classic. It's classic. Love it. Love it.

All right. Let's talk about the Germans. Yes. Zajumans. German politicians stripped naked. Started World War III. Just kidding. They've done the other two. I'm just saying, don't trust them. Calls on open-minded citizens to join him on Swinger's trip to France. Oh, excellent. All right. Uh-huh. Julian Ferret, ferrat. I don't know how you say it. let's do ferret it probably is ferret or something like that yeah but I would say let's go ferret he is a 33 year old city councilor

in the Mannheim Germany area he said an eight day trip to the swingers or he said an eight day trip to the swingers hot spot cap de air in southern France is meant to investigate how to become a global hub for nudist and sex tourism and how that model could help boost Mannheim's local economy so he's going there for research he wants to uh yeah yeah he wants he doesn't look if you're going to make a class a class level awesome nudist camp in germany you go where people are pulling it off already right i am not going there for the stooping i am going there for the research the research the people are naked yeah it says here the naturalist village is a quote in cap

Theage is considered a mecca for nudist and swingers, he says, adding that it would not have existed without government support. Farrat invited curious and open-minded citizens to join him and take part in the training camp beforehand to ensure no one goes in unprepared, is the quote. The camp includes outdoor sex on the Friesenheimer in Cell in Mayenheim and will exclude the media to protect privacy. So you get to go full on do it. It's not just nudity. Do it on the Frizenheimer Insel. He says,

Freezing your hymer off. Yeah, freezing off your hymenheimer. Having sex in your own bedroom is different from on the beach with a group of masturbating men, he says. Well, yeah, it sure is. Well, this whole sentence, hold on. Having sex in your own bedroom is different from on the beach with a group of masturbating men. Like in Cap de Asge. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah, no, he's right. He's absolutely right. He's absolutely right. But I don't think. I don't need I don't want this Yeah

He says he's got the interest of 75 people 22 of whom including 14 men and 8 women have confirmed attendance It's always more men because men are gross Yeah oh of course They're all sitting around and they need more They need the extras for the masturbators You know I guess so Yes gross

I'm not going to cap diege No the stickiest town in France It's very weird I mean, you know, we always, we get pretty insular here with our stupid politics in America, but you guys got weird shit going on in other places. Yeah, exactly. They have a, oh, look at that. They have a Ferris wheel, huh?

Oh, good. Yeah. Thank goodness. Yes. I'm not going to no nudist camp without a Ferris. We'll forget it. It's just funny, like, you know, it just sounds like a town of nothing but effing is from the description. As the French will do.

Yeah. Well, take your hairy armpits out there and have a good. time everybody uh moving on how about this one a michigan bear this is not a guy who identifies as you know like bear is there a story about a michigan twink well no but if they were these two would be getting along just fine i think i don't know i don't know how it works i don't know how the bears and the twinks work tally fill the chat room in cap dage yeah tally who taught me what go ahead and tell the chat you let them know what's up a michigan bear roamed the woods for two years with an awful lid on its neck.

Oh, I'm guessing a toilet seat. Well, let's see, actually. I'm not sure about that. An awful lid. It says it removed a large lid that was stuck around his neck for two years straight. It's pretty incredible. The bear survives it was able to feed itself. Says state bear specialist, Cody Norton.

Who might also be a bear. I know the bears are hairy gay men, Talia. I'm talking about would bears and twinks hang out? Yeah. I think, I mean, there's got to be some bears that prefer twinks. I don't know. I just know twinkies. And that bears, real bears would eat a twinkie.

I know that. I know that for sure. I've seen it happen. It's funny, though, that they don't out explicitly say that it's a toilet seat, a toilet seat. But they say a lid that was around his neck. So it's not really as much a lid as it is a ring. Yeah, large lid is what it says. But if it's not a lid, then it would, yeah, it's a ring because around the neck.

Is W Top News afraid to put the word toilet seat in an article? Yeah. Or is this some other kind of like gauge of some sort used on something else? You just got into some industrial stuff? I assume toilet seat. It's a barrel lid, apparently. Oh, let's see. Is there a photo of this thing?

No, there isn't. And that's the bummer. It's, yeah, there's no photos. Michigan Bear. I'm going to do a search. Michigan, because they talk about, in the article, they talk about it ending up in a lot of photos. Yeah, I would think somebody had a shot of this. If they didn't, they're not good at their job.

Yeah, oh, here we go. I have a video. You want video? Yeah, I love video. I'm always a fan. All right. Here is video. Michigan Bear freed from lid that's been around its neck for two years.

All right, let's take a look here. It's like a plastic for whatever. reason why I heard barrel is thinking a wooden, like a wooden whiskey barrel or something, but it's like a metal, like a metal ring, like the rings around? It's like a blue plastic, uh, oh, there it is, okay. How do you get his head in there? I don't know, but man, poor thing, two years of that on your neck? That, that poor thing. That sucks. Don't leave. Everybody boo-boo, I've got a little plate for eating my picketing baskets. It's like, don't leave your, there's a close-up of it. Don't leave your barrel top thing out?

Where did the wildlife get in there? He probably got in there for when he was much smaller. I was going to say he was probably trying to get food out of something. But that, man, two years of having to wear that thing. But the good news is they said he was normal weight for his age, which means he was able to figure out how to eat and stuff. But they got it off. How do they know it was two years?

That's a good point, Lydia Grace Bauer. I don't know. They said that he's shown up like a lot of hikers and things had photos. So, the bear first turned up on a trail camera as a cub in 2023 in the northern lower peninsula. After that, the Department of Natural Resources was on the lookout for the elusive animal with a hard plastic glare around its neck. Okay. So it's been, yeah, it's roughly two years. So I'm sorry, not hikers, but just trail cameras.

Sure. Well, anyway, they sent a, they, how they got it off is they did this. They set a cylindrical trap and safely lured him inside with a twink. Just kidding. I made that out. The bear was immobilized with an injection, and the lid was cut off in minutes on June 3rd. The bear eventually woke up and rambled away is the term they used. He rambled. Yeah, he's a rambling man.

Trial into hand, driving across the land, baby, he's a travel lid man. Wow! Rambling to the next town to get my head stuck in some other shit. Anyway, that's good news for the bear and for us, I think. I think we all, everybody wins except the twink. All right, moving on. Here's the story for you This is pretty interesting

Why a Minneapolis neighborhood Sharpenes a Giant Pencil every year I was hoping Wendy'd be here to talk about this Because she lives there But I don't know if she's anywhere near this neighborhood Anyway, every year they sharpen a giant pencil I'm going to give you a photo Okay

There it is right there That sure is a giant pencil Yeah I'll try to take my location It's interesting that it's on a stone I was visualizing like this is Cut from a tree or maybe that's the base of the tree

and they've painted it gray to look like a... It looks like a... Yeah, you're right. It looks like a stone, doesn't it? It could be a stump that's just painted gray. I don't know. It says here, residents gathered Saturday in the scenic Minneapolis neighborhood

for an annual ritual, the sharpening of a gigantic number two pencil. It's very weird. Look at all those people. I mean, boy, they're into it, dude. Words cannot express the excitement of a large crowd gathering to watch a pencil get sharpened. Yeah, yeah.

What do they do in school? Are they always just having the time of their lives? My gosh. The 20-foot-tall pencil was sculpted out of a mammoth oak tree, so there's your answer there. Okay. At the home of John and Amy Higgins, the beloved tree was damaged in a storm two years ago. When fierce winds twisted the crown off, neighbors mourned, a couple even wept. That's a weird thing to say.

A couple even wept. A couple people wept. I would, that's a red flag about those couple people, but whatever. Yeah, right. The Higginses saw it not so much as a loss, but a chance to give the tree new life. the sharpening ceremony on their front lawn has evolved into a community spectacle that draws hundreds of people

to the leafy neighborhood of Lake of the Isles, complete with music and pageantry. They do some pageantry there. Some pageantry. Yeah, I'd love a good pageant, you know? Unless it's what those weird little kids that look like adults.

I don't like those. What do they call those? Like the John Bonnet Ramsey pageants, those things? Yeah, right. I don't know if there's a term other than pageants, but yeah. Child pageant. Little Miss.

Something pageant, the Sunshine Pagent, I guess is where I was going with that. There's some, there's some Pito business there. Yeah. Is there a video here, chat says? Let's see. Oh, there is a little video. Let's see what we got on the old Instagram there. Yeah, here we go.

Oh, look, there's pageantry. There is the pageantry. I don't see any, oh, maybe we'll see somebody dressed as a giant pencil. There's Mr. Higgins with his wife. Oh, my gosh. Now that's some pageantry. They're dancing pencils for listeners at home. Okay, all right.

What song are they singing? Uh, my pencil is looking for a sharpener. I have no idea. Let's see. I'm trying to think of what would be the pencil song. Like, um. I got those big horns, dude. Look, those big, long, the recola horns.

Yeah. The ricola horns. Oh my gosh. Look at these people. There's so many. There are tons of people. And how do you sharpen this pencil without? See, why would you want to do that, though?

Exactly. It's just going to get shorter. Don't you want to appreciate the pencil and... Oh my gosh, they have a little sharpener in their button on down. Pencil thin mustache, pretty good. The Jimmy Buffett song. Wow. Oh, that's how they sharpen it.

They more whittle it. Yeah, well, it's one of those little sharpners as a kid. It is an actual little plastic sharpener looking thing. That's really fun. Yeah, they rotate it around and they take a shaving off of it. And then they have to repaint the top of it because, it's not really a pencil. Yeah.

And then they do more pageantry. Just nonstop pageantry up there. The correct answer, by the way, is Every Day I Write the Book by Elvis Costello. Sorry. Everybody tried and the... That's not bad. I'll take that.

How much vibrato is in that song? A lot? Every day I write the book. Every day, every day, every day, every day write the book. I found a couple. Jimmy Buffett's pencil, thin mustache. We have Palalo Nutini's pencil full of lead.

Paolo. Paolo, thank you. Put the pencil down by the airborne toxic event. Oh, that's good. Sure. And my pencil won't write no more, and that's the crickets. There's also references in the lyrics to the Beatles, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, where they mention a pencil. Oh, really?

I think it says, though not about it. pencils, lyrics include surreal imagery like newspaper taxis, which often bring up a drawing or doodling association. I don't know if that counts. That's kind of lame. Okay, that's a, that's a reach. Yeah, crayons in the Paul Simon song, Cota Chrome. And then finally, um, you can sort of count take on me because AHA's video has a bunch of pencils. Oh, because the pencil drawings. Yeah. I do like, uh, both, both of the Robinsons, uh, brought up, uh, hot for teacher. I brought my pencil. Oh, it's a good one. Actually, that's really good Because I do think you have to exclaim pencil

For this to count. Jacob Clatter mentioned it also. That's pretty good. Yep, all right, there you go. Although that song's kind of a parody. It's not that great. No, no. Not a huge fan.

All right, that's going to do it for today's news And today's show. Yeah, that's right. No windy today? She's on a plane coming here as we're about to leave. It's weird. I got a lot of family here, so she's good.

And she's visiting my mom this morning soon as she lands and it's all, she's got plenty to do. So don't worry about us. But that means the shortest show. I've got to get ready for our trip. And no show on TMS Friday because literally I will not be here. I'll be in a car then. Yep.

And for the same reason, Monday, you'll be in a car. I'll be in a car coming the other way. And Brian will be doing his stuff on Saturday and Sunday. But there will be a film sack despite all that. Interestingly enough, how will I be doing a film sack while I'm on a bike? I just don't know. He's going to pull over, wash his hands in that little sink. Apply some chode butter.

Actually, the other way around, you're going to do the chode butter, then wash your then record from inside a Port-a-Jon. I'll be at a restaurant and beaver. So I'll be in a beaver. I'll be in beaver. It sounded wrong. It did. No, that's not true at all.

We have transcended time and space. There we go. And I will hopefully be able to pop in at some point during the ride into the Katter-day Tad Pulligan's Discord thing, because it's always nice to just listen to people talk. even if I mute myself because you're going to hear, hopefully hear some wind noise of me writing really fast. Hopefully.

If it's real quiet, you can assume things went, you know, went poorly. Exactly. And we are pushing play date. Here's the deal. And you and I haven't talked about this, but July 4th is next Friday. Right. So I'm assuming we probably aren't going to do a show that day. National holiday.

I don't think so. I don't think so. So I think play date will occur on July 11. And what that'll do is take the place of the June and July play dates because I'll be in Washington, D.C. for the July play date. That's right. I forgot you were going there. Yep. It'll be in D.C.

Well, that's a good... That works, though, because we're playing jackbox stuff and that's easy to play remotely. Oh, actually, yeah, I can play. I can play jackbox remotely. Simple, easy, easy, easy. The problem is that it's going to be like noon or something. Yeah, we'll figure it out. We'll figure it out.

Yeah, we'll figure it out. And if, I don't know, if it worse comes to worse and the 11th isn't good, we could, we could probably break the fourth rule and do it. It's just morning of the fourth. We could probably get away with that. And we're just playing video games. Maybe we do the fourth. I don't know.

I don't know. It's true. We could. I don't have family stuff until later. I scheduled a thing with him in that morning, but we could always rearrange it. Oh, right, right. Well, we'll figure it out. Don't worry, guys.

Top minds are at it. Top men are working on it. I don't mind doing a TMS Friday on the fourth or even doing a, a play date on the 4th. We could do that. All right. We'll figure it out. All right. I think that's it. Oh, some other shows coming up. Core today at 1. Got a big one today. So I'll watch for that.

Film Sack this weekend, as I mentioned. And I think that's everything. Ocean's 12. That's right. Catch up. Now. Watch now because that Ocean's 12 leaves on the 30th. Yes. Watch it now. Yeah. And while you're ready, you can watch the other two. But all three of them are leaving. All three of the original trilogy are leaving on the 30th. Um, there will be a guest to the connection tomorrow. I don't know what time. Everything's kind of

plain by ear for the next couple days, obviously. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, good luck, Brian. It's going to be awesome. I'm excited for you. I'm sure you and I will talk. Yeah, we'll talk before them, but I'm sure, I'm sure your ride's going to go great. I'm sure my trip's going to go fine. I'm sure it will, yes. I'm going to have lunch with Madzula at a place that he raved about. I'm excited. Cool. Is he taking you to, uh, oh, oh, Monumee Gabi then? I think that's it. Yeah, that is one of the best branches. Vegas. It's fantastic. Oh, sweet. We have reservations and everything, so I'm pretty excited. Please ask for something with Khoda. Houda? I'm going to ask for Hoda. Houda. I'm sorry,

howda. Howda. And when they say, what are you saying? I'll say, don't you know who Dr. Nicky is? Exactly. You guys pronounce howder rung. What do you do? pronounce it like Gouda? Chumps. We'll see how it goes. I'm excited. Kim and I haven't had a proper getaway for a bit, so we're looking forward to this. cool and the temperatures are nice for once in Vegas it's not going to be 117 it's going to be like 95 that's that's decent that's decent you'll be inside that's the fun of vagus is you don't even really need to go outside very much no and if this was two weeks ago it would be dying and by the way that reminds me just a shout out to all our friends in the south and the pacific or the east

rather with your heinous high temperatures right now you're getting the heat wave we kind of had it's just shifted over and i feel bad man you guys are getting nailed over there, especially in the south. Holy crap, it's hot. So I hope this passes soon. It's not normal, damn it. All right, that's going to do it for us. Thank you all for listening.

Frogpants.com slash TMS for all your other needs. Brian, let's play a song and get the hell out of here. Well, okay. This is a guy that you did a show with recently that I still need to listen to. I'll probably listen to it on my right, honestly. Dr. Tolbert, Jerry Tolbert, wrote in and said, good morning, gents. Good morning, gents. I'll say it like you would.

Your friendly neighborhood family doc here to celebrate. the day I arrived on Earth 45 years ago to the day given my diverse love of many things musical it's sometimes hard to narrow down my requests but Brian's past choices

It's a TMS. It's yet another TMS. Yeah, but you got to get the dot show, because it's this new website. The medical dot show. And when you get it, you'll get all the ways you can sign up for it. It is, this isn't a thing we're monetizing. We're making it like no Patreon, none of that. We want to

help the planet. That's the, well, mostly people in the U.S. because that's where all our medical focus is going to be. But still, it's going to be all about the things like, ah, what's this weird itch I have all the way to? Why is my insurance company suck ass so much everything in between so you're going to want to check it out we're having a great time with it there'll be a new episode next week too but uh a little a little

pimping going there the medical show dot com medical show no i did it wrong the medical dot show and anywhere you get your podcast all right go ahead let's see if i can find it can i get to it i probably can't find it directly in i mean i i imagine i could if i scrolled long enough in Downcast Oh, maybe. I mean, they just started listing it because Downcast uses Apple's directory, so they just started listing it in Apple Podcasts

so it may be lower and low, I don't know. I don't know how they do that. But it shows up in Spotify now, Apple Music, all that stuff should have it. I'll find it. Anyway, so Led Zeppelin. Well, I've got something that is relatively new. This came out a couple of years ago,

posthumously recorded by the great Kevin Gilbert Kevin Gilbert is one of these amazing musicians. He was half of the band Toy Matinee. He was part of Cheryl Crow's Tuesday Night Music Club group that would get together and write songs together. And he even wrote some of her songs or co-wrote some of her songs. Two had a big falling out and that's a bad thing. But anyway, died several years ago. But they keep finding new music and new recordings that he has released.

This is a remix of a cover that he did of Led Zeppelin's Kashmir. It is fantastic. It's called The Uncontrolled Mix. Here is Kevin Gilbert and Kashmir. Be down upon my face Stars to fill my dreams I am a traveler of both time and space To be where I have been

Sit with elders of a general place This world is seldom seen Talk of days for which they sit and wait When all will be revealed And my eyes Fill with sand This wasted land Trying to find

Trying to find Where I dream I'm Oh, pilot off the storm who leaves no trace Thoughts inside a dream Keep the path that lead me to this place Yellow desert scream I'll shake my law beneath the summer moon

I will return again To grab the dust Before time due We'll move it through catch me Oh father of The four winds fill my sacks across the sea of fear There's no provisions but an open face But on the streets of fear

Oh All I see Turns the brough And the sun burns the ground And my eyes Fill with sand All I scare is wasted life

Try to find where I be Yeah Try to try to find Hello, oh, oh, yeah, yeah. I'm a tailor, and your pant size is frog. You're always welcome at frogpants.com.
