Sudden life with Brian Dunaway. Fubo Fubar with Tom and more on this episode of the Morning Stream. The problem in the marriage bed that no one likes to talk about.

What happens when you cross rock and roll with the world's most spectacular wildlife creatures? This is the morning stream. I'll swallow your soul. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to TMS.

It's the morning stream for Wednesday, if you can believe it, August 6th, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Hello. No slowing down in August. No, no. We keep going. We keep that thing happening and keep it all the gears moving together.

Just realizing that maybe I'm a little bit off center, or not off center, but at an angle. Brian got a new setup today, everybody. I did. I did a, oh, turn that off. I did a full desk rearrangement I realized that

it had just gotten overrun with toys little tiny toys lots and lots and lots of toys sure and you know

which is fine I've got to have my little modoc and my little stitch and my little Spider-Man

and my clicker and things I kind of miss now I still have we're going to call these the essentials Brian's got the

essential I still have the yeah never not have that you have to that's got made for me back in

Vegas, but I wanted to stack it. So it all came from that show, Pantheon. I was like, I really like the layout of that dude's desk with the two stacked monitors and then a vertical one right next to them.

And so I've got, I went about a real cheap, 40 bucks, a monitor mount that stacks. And it lets you, it gives you a bunch of different places to hook up your monitors. Really, really cool. And then I already had an arm for the monitor that I was planning on making vertical. I've got that monitor right over here.

That's on one of those rotating little... It's on a little rotating thing, right? So I don't even have to unscrew it. But it's a V-Sonic that is... I have no idea why, but they didn't put the VISA mount in the center of the back of the monitor. They have it in the top half.

Like, it's about the top third of the monitor. That is strange. Why? It's really strange. Maybe they meant it to be a vertical or something. I don't know. Maybe, because as soon as I try and turn it vertical, the weight of it is strong enough to, like, say,

nope, and it's to get back. Like, it is, I can't even tighten the, the rotate because it is, it's behind the tilt up and down. There's like a little, there's no way I'd be able to get anything in there to tighten that. Just like a regular 16-9, it's not an ultra-wide or anything, right? It's a non old. It is, well, it's a, no, it's a 16. Yeah, 16.9. It's a big one, though. It is, it's a big mama jama. And because of that, the bottom half is heavy. And too heavy for the little visa mount at the top to keep it centered. So I don't know. Really weird they put that there. I don't get it. It really is. You know what I could do? I could make that the upper monitor and then make this one the horizontal. We'll have to see. I don't want to do any more of this crap. It's a pain in the ass, right? It's a huge. pain to do it really is yeah exactly it's always great when you get it right but sometimes you gotta tweak it forever it takes a while to freaking get it right sometimes it's frustrating yeah

well it's exciting stuff happening over there at the yes at the coverville studios yeah exactly that's great um i saw something funny yesterday got to share it with you yeah went to the uh this hotel we're doing some moving and shaking on the near tacular front and uh cool cool all that went good um Kevin showed up Casey A was there. And he showed up in a esports shirt. And it looked like he was there to just round everybody up

and get round one of the Halo finals going. It was awesome. Anyway, we were all there. And by the time the thing ended, he went one way because he didn't do valet. We did valet. They gave us free valley parking because we were, you know,

they're whining and dining us a little bit. Sure. So we go to leave and go out the front of the lobby. and in that lobby there's a bunch of standing tables. They remind me of genius tables at the Apple store. Oh, sure. Kind of high up and those are pretty cool, right? And these had like nice marble finish.

And they're there for business people to have their computers out and do their stuff and whatever. And there were a number of people with their notebooks out and they all had suits on, a bunch of fancy people in town for something. And as I'm walking past, the last guy, he's by himself, but there's a guy in a really nice fitted suit, probably in his 40s, maybe a little older, on his own looking real serious, just looking at his thing and checking his stuff and he'd pull up his phone once in a while,

and I thought, wow, that guy's really, he's got some bit, he's got hard work going on. And as I pass him, he's flicking through bikini ladies. Really? Just going, put, put, putt, putt, put. I wonder if he's doing like, you know, some sort of swipe, left, swipe, right,

dating app kind of thing. I tried to see. because it was on his computer screen when I tried to... Oh, it was on the computer screen, okay. Yeah, he had his phone in his hand, weirdly, and he would check his phone here and there. Yeah.

But it was mostly him on his trackpad, on his MacBook, going... Really, swiping through bikini ladies. Yeah, bikini ladies, and they were all, you know, lovely bikini ladies. Sure, sure. No actual pornography, per se, unless you lived in the 1700s and that sort of stuff. But it was a very weird little moment,

and I thought to myself, well, this is A, obviously a thing I'll tell on TMS. I'm not exposing any identities, but boy, if I could have gotten a photo of that, that would have been fun. It would have been nice, yeah, just to say, and plus you'd be able to analyze, all right, what, what app is he in? Is he just in a browser and he's looking at bikini ladies in his browser? It could just be Instagram for all I know or, you know, it was really hard to tell. He easily could have been doing what I do, which is, all right, which 3D model am I going to do next? well there's black cat there's red sonia there's uh angela there's yeah jubilee do i want the ones with

the boobs out do i want the ones right exactly oh dude just after i talked about this yesterday right with like yeah they have ones where where her top is slightly open their boobs around and camel to or no cameltoe um he says new nsfW update for black cat just fully nude just a fully nude black cat just a fully nude black just naked black cat just it's really just a lady with and you can paint her hair any color it's really just a lady just a naked lady that you could paint any way you want so when is all the stuff on the ground still by her feet oh i don't know oh afraid to look let's see here hold on a second see that would be funny because if they're saying oh black cat's out naked this time because there's a closed detecting just burglarized a house and uh that's funny dude that's that's

actually pretty funny. All right, it was by this guy right here. Where is it? Chat, we're not showing this to you. Sorry. No. Do you want to screenshot? I want to see what it looks like.

Yes. All right. I'm going to give you, yes, she does still have. You know why? It's because Doc Ock has closed detecting technology. That's why. Where do you want this? So you can easily delete it.

Oh, you just put it in Discord. I can kill it in Discord. All right. Okay. Kill in Discord. Or I can delete in Discord. Yeah, either one. So she still actually has her.

gloves and boots on and she does still have all the stuff on the she does still have all the stuff on the thing on the uh the platform i mean it makes no sense it's just it's just there to titillate it is exactly exactly you know not printed oh this is just the 3d model view that's the 3d model view yeah i mean you know he's clearly very good at the anatomy i mean i have been wanting to work on my

airbrushing skin tones all different kinds of skin tones so i guess uh I could just print this out and just use it for practice airbrushing. Just pretend you're at one of those college life drawing classes and there's a lady up there and, you know. Exactly. None of the girls we ever did in college for the life drawing look like this. I can tell you that. No, no. And obviously, clearly it means that somewhere in Marvel's Manhattan, there is a waxer who just has the best job ever.

Yeah. Like every, every superhero. Yep, I think you're right. She's, uh, no hair, no hair, Larry, uh, works on that. By the way, so Chad, this is the version with clothes. That's the clothed version. Yeah, so just so you can imagine what we're looking at. And then there you go.

Amish in comparison. Oh my gosh. Yeah, it does. It's a her, she's in brumspring on this other image. Right. Uh, to continue the thing. Well, that's great. Anyway, right after I talk about it's like, oh, you think the, the one with just her boobs

kind of popping out her costume? him hold my beer i got i got a new one for you yeah no it's uh it's great that guy's good at his job and knows where his butter is bred or bread's buttered he probably does i would love to know oh man i'd love to know the downloads i mean i guess you download them all as a set once once he updates it he adds that to it so he all you download the whole thing as a set but i'd love to know what percentage like fully clothed boobs out fully naked like which ones people are really printing. We just need that guy to share his process.

I know. I'd be curious. All right, you guys, check this out. MAM, ma'am, ma'am,

ma'am, ma'am. It's that time of the morning. We welcome Brian Dunaway to the program, and he saunter's in here also naked and does his thing. Brian Dunaway, what's going on, man? Oh, hi Scott and Brian.

Sorry about that. Putting my shirt on. No, please do. It's all good. Thank you. Hide those nipples, if you don't mind.

We appreciate that. You guys have nipples. Can you milk me? We're going to play a game. That's right. And the way this thing works, Brian, but we'll explain all of it to you guys and who's able to win what and just how much pressure is on the back of Brian done away to perform today. Brian, take it away.

Yes, it's time to play the tadpooly feud. I've surveyed the tadpull on some nerdy topics. And Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they give us. It is their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. the player with the most points after why did I put oh because I copy and paste to this for masses the player with the most points after the round is played wins the price for their contestant and contestants are going to be pulled from our supporters on Patreon at patreon.com slash TMS Scott you're playing for Jeff Namadan I like that name that's cool

nomadon oh I should find out when I can where these people are from I'll do that from now on I didn't think of doing that yeah Brian you're playing for Thomas Bradley And we'll talk about what games they can win after the game because I didn't pull those over yet. They are patrons, by the way. So if you are out there going, oh, man, I want to get my name in these games, just become a patron. You can do it at the lowest level. I think it's still like two bucks a month or some stupid number that we are dumb to choose. It's still there at the lowest number.

It can still a nickel a day. Exactly. Yeah, it makes you eligible to get in here. And we'd love to have you. All right, excellent. Let's dive in to the game itself. Yeah, let's get to your game. And Al-Kabab, hero of the day, Al-Kabab, has now given us a thing.

Can you put the game up on screen? Oh, I can do, yeah, there we go. Try it here. I wonder if it'll, oh, it might not work until, let's see. Yeah, we might have to wait until the game actually starts. He's added something that's going to come in very handy here. But let's go ahead and get the game started. I don't show you what this involves 3D-printed nude models.

bottles or anything? No. Oh, God, now that you mentioned, that would make it even better. All right, let's get to the question here. Put your hands on your buzzers and give me your best answer to this. We asked 472 tadpullers to name a city in Europe that is not a nation's capital. Scott. And twerp. End twerp. Show me. And twirp. You're an antwerp. Came out of it. I mean, that was dumb. Sorry. Antwerp was on the list. I'll tell you right now that Andrew. twerp is people just like saying Antwerp and who who wouldn't know is number 32 in the list.

Okay, okay. Yeah, I think it kind of threw them off like that last little bit. It's like this, not the capital because I was like going, oh no, I'm like, I don't think. Is Antwerp a capital of something? I don't know. It is not. Okay, good. Brussels is the capital of Belgium.

Antwerp is not. I'll let it this out and then I'll edit it out of post. I'll make it look like I actually knew. Like you actually knew. That was good. Hey, you've named a capital or a city. that's not a capital. Brian, boy, I need to instrue that timer now.

Brian, do you have an answer? Oh, Jesus. If I say this and I get it wrong, it's going to be great. Can you hear me? Yeah, you're good. Yeah, you can hear you. Okay. So, yeah, I'm going to say, I've been watching so much of friends. How can I not say London Baby, even though that's what the tadpool would say,

whether it's right or not. London Baby. Is that a friend's reference? I didn't know about that. Is that a thing on Friends? Yeah, London Baby. Yeah, I mean, it's like, yeah, when they go to London. London and, oh, you've even seen that particular episode where Joey Goats

around all over London and he's all like, he's all like, yeah, London, baby, don't know. Yeah, did you, do you understand the question, Brian? Oh, Europe City, not a capital. That is not a nation's capital. Yeah. I understand. I mean, I know you, I know you have little faith, I know you have little faith in the tadpool, but, uh, I think it's his answer. All right.

I think it's my answer. Yeah. All right. Let's do it. Come on. I should have taken that. I should have taken that. All right.

as a clue i really tried to save you on that one but uh okay i guess it goes back to scott we just go back and forth until one of you actually gets an answer well like i said i would just i just guess that would be you know what the tadpool would have said nothing wrong with that yeah nothing wrong with that sometimes it's smart okay and i won't i won't say that the tadpole in in some level did not get get it wrong but uh it was going to be hard for me because i don't know many of these um much easier if you say capital i know once you think of the cap it's like we think of a country it's like oh all i can think of now is the capital i'll say malon italy oh let's try that show me malon nicely done that's seven and that uh that is

automatically going to give you control of the board because uh we've never had to sudden death yeah we've never we've never put that clause in have we don't live really it's more like sudden life because we can't begin the game until until one of you oh i like that i like sudden life And now we have a timer. So if you put that back up on screen, Scott. There you go. Does it show up? I can actually give you a timer.

Oh, there it is next to my name. You've got until, yeah. Oh, I like that. Although it's counting down. One of us should hurry. That one doesn't count. It's just going to disappear at the end there. Okay.

Now it's official. Give me a city. The Hamburg. Germany. Give me the Hamburg. Show me Hamburg. Hamburger. Very good.

Number four. Gosh, I'm getting really... I don't feel like I should know this. Um, uh, uh, this might actually be, no, that's not the capital.

It is Gothenburg. Oh, and not, um, okay. Gothenburg. Of course, that's what I meant. Of course. Yes, of course. Clearly. Show me, obviously.

What do you got, Brian? Well, I was just going to say Manchester, but I was like, I thought that Tadpool wouldn't, I'm going to say Manchester this time. I'm going to give them some credit and say the Tadpool said Manchester. Well, yeah. You know, the intelligence and numbers. Show me, Manchester. Number eight.

Let me see. My timer running in. Okay, no, okay. No, no, shut. Wait, wait. Yeah, Brian, still not. We still have to get used to it, so you had a little reprieve there, but now you got eight seconds, six seconds, five, four.

I'm done. 10. My, my, my, 22. My mathematically. Wow. No, not yet. He can still, if he gets, you know, nine and six. We should totally implement the timer on the day that we go with European places that aren't.

Right. Let's give you the hardest tadpoole feud we've ever given you. Right, right. That said, I'm instituting the timer right now. 10 seconds, Scott, to be a non-capital city in Europe. All right. We're going to go with Venice. Venice.

That's a good. That is a good one. Number two. Okay. I cannot think of anything else. God, you guys are doing really well on this. Seven of the answers have been exposed.

Scott, 24 points to Brian's 11. Um, uh, the other Belgian one. Um, the one with the movie I love. Uh,

would they go there and they're in there. It's in, uh, in Bruges. In Bruges. Bruges. Bruges. Oh,

Bruges. Oh me. Bruge. Damn it. Um, it should have been in there. Uh, But people did say it.

It was, where did it come up? It was, it was on the list. Yeah, 14. 14. Brian, back over to you. Was the first thing Scott said, Amsterdam? Is it the first thing he said? I didn't say Amsterdam at all.

I mean, that's a capital, but I just, okay, you said something, you got it wrong. Yeah. So I'm going to go to Rotterdam since I can't go Amsterdam. Rodder Dam. Roder. All right. Rodderdam. Rotterdam.

No, Rotterdam. No, Rotterdam. Number 23 on the list. I'm so running out here. How about we do? Damn, my brain just wants to stay in Italy for some reason. Let's do Hungry and Constantinople.

You know, I'll, I will give you Istanbul. I mean, Istanbul, that's what I meant. That's what I meant. You know, it's not like you didn't have a whole song that told you about, uh, that's what I got a mixed up. Shit. Uh, show me Istanbul or Constantinople. No, surprisingly, even with what they might be giants helping us out.

Uh, Istanbul or Constantinople still didn't make it in the top 10. Um, it's, it's lower in the list. I'm looking to search for it. Oh, hello. Oh, Brian changed microphones on us. Sorry about that. Can you hear me? Yeah, you're good.

All right. What do you say there, Chief? Brian, back over to you. Let's go to Liverpool. Liverpool. Liverpool. Show me, show me, Liverpool. Number five.

Nice one. 16 to Scott's 24. It's all about, you know what? It's about cultural relevance, man. That's what we're able to for here. Yeah. It really is. It really is.

Not that these other towns aren't culturally relevant. I'm just saying, like, the big ones that. But relevant to American pop culture, too, of course. Yeah, absolutely. Almost everything is because of that for me is the American pop culture. Two answers still left on the board, Brian. I'm going to start the timer. Did you already say, no, no.

10 seconds. Go, no, you can't start it. Go quick. Watch me. Watch me. You have five seconds, four, three. I can remember if you said something. Two.

Do we say Prague? Is that even a place? Do it. Do Prague. Is that even a place? Show me Prague. No. Sorry, yes.

Can I say on behalf of the universe, the timer's awesome. It is awesome. Actually, I love this like impending doom that it just adds to the game. Thank you, Al-Cabab. That's awesome. Totally. All right. You're two that you didn't get on the board here, plus you're number 11.

Number six, back in Germany. Oh, Frankfort. You had the hamburgers. You forgot the Frankfurters. Damn. All right. And then I actually, I can change it from 10 seconds. 15 seconds, by the way.

Number nine, well, it's nice, but it's really Nice. Oh, Nice. It's a nice town. Nice. And then your bonus would have been Glasgow. I could have said Glasgow.

They did mention that on France. Shoot. Everything I learned about international. Right. It's European city knowledge. It's just because we're having to do it quickly and I'm having to pull from stuff like at the top of my head.

No, I get to do. This was a tough, this was a tough. week for us to break out the timer i think yeah yeah and then to tell us by the way also to tell us drop the little bomb it's like oh i could have said it for 15 that's uh i thought i thought 10 was on here well this is how you learn we we find out we've tried it once now next time we'll try 15 see how it works you know it's all good we will try it for 15 next time that's what humans do we iterate uh and it's fantastic stuff so brian who who ended up winning this big fun bash yeah congratulations congratulations going out to jeffan namadon you are getting a copy of sonic and sega all-stars

Yeah, all of those are great. McPixel 3 is insane. That All-Star Racing game is good. All of it's good. I can tell you you're going to enjoy it. Here's what you'll also enjoy. If you go back and listen to play retro from yesterday, you're going to have a really great time because we talked about a really old game and the 40th anniversary

of the Amiga. Dunaway and I had a blast. Go check it out at frogpants.com slash play retro. Hey, Dunaway, I would like you to do me one tiny favor and that is to kiss my butt. All right. He's out. Cool. I'm going to clear out the naked black cat

since we're bringing Tom in via Discord. Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah. Yeah. Don't need those kinds of questions. Yeah, that's a good point. Oh, I guess it'll be a direct call, though, so he wouldn't. see it. Oh, he wouldn't have seen, he wouldn't, you know, pulling him into the TMS. But even then. Even then. You know, you don't want to. Well, if you want it back, let me know.

Give you some more to that. I've got higher resolution copies of all those. Sweet nudity. Isn't technology wonderful? It sure can be, but only when Tom Merritt is involved. At least that's my opinion. Tom Merritt, joining us from Daily Tech News show. Tom, what's up, man? Oh, me. I'm up. Hello, you're up. You're ready to go. Were you just, were you just centering yourself with your camera with doing the finger point thing? Oh, just when you did this? No, okay. I was just a gesture. Oh, you were conductlessly gesturing. Gotcha, okay.

Yeah, you missed it earlier. Brian's got a new camera set up and he's got hand gestures, but... Which camera do you have? It's the Absbot, light two. Oh, yeah. Brian Brushwood loves those. Yeah, here he's a big fan of those as well. So is KT Data.

And, you know, I'm so far, I'm liking... I mean, I've had it for a while. I was using it for something else, but long story, I rearranged my desk and needed to go. with something smaller. And I really, quality-wise, just as good, in my opinion, as the face cam. Oh, you sound great. Which, yeah, or look great.

Which Obzbot did you? Yeah, you always. The light too. The light, okay. Yeah, because there's like the tail and the light. There's tons, yeah. What are they just for different positionings or something? Or are they just better?

Different capabilities, different resolutions. Like some are for webcam, some are for, you know, full robotic stuff. Oh, that's cool. Well, I think you look great, Brian. thank you we're all a little turned on thanks oh that's very nice it's very nice it's very nice indeed well tom you're here to talk tech as per yuge and uh we love here in our wednesday's uh time with tom because then we get informed and when we're informed we're just we're just better people uh so tell us what's going on what's on the table disney is eating hulu oh shit oh hasn't it already eaten

yeah i thought they already ate hulu yeah i thought that was uh done they haven't finished they're They're going to for a little while. They're going to wipe this plate free of crumbs. Starting next year, Hulu's app is going away. All Hulu content

will be in Disney Plus except for Hulu Plus Live TV. If you are a live TV subscriber on Hulu, that will be moving to Fubo, which Disney has a joint venture with. They're kind of a part owner

in Fubo now. Fubo member was suing Disney and everyone else over sports and part of the settlement of that out of court was Disney got a stake in Fubu and they agreed to make a joint venture. So sometime next year, they haven't given us an exact date, but sometime in 2026, Hulu content will finish moving into Disney Plus. Most of it's there already, but all of it will be on Disney Plus. And the Hulu Apple shut down and the live TV, the cable replacement, as I call it sometimes, will go to Fubo. And then Hulu will also replace the Star brand worldwide. Now in the U.S., you're probably not familiar with the star brand, but Disney Hot Star was the famous one in India, but it uses that star brand elsewhere. And Hulu will become the star brand for that kind of content. So you have Disney content, you'll have Hulu content. I'm very curious what they do in Japan, where the Hulu that existed prior to Disney owning it, licensed the name to another company, as often happens in Japan, like YOLU. Yahoo still exists there, Tower Records still exist there. There's a version of Hulu in Japan that's independent and licensing the name. So I'm curious what Disney's going to do there. But everywhere else in the world, Hulu will mean entertainment programming on Disney.

The Hulu app is going to shut on down. Goodness. So we, in this house, when we cut our cord completely, well, we cut it years ago, but the most recent switch we made is switching over to Hulu Live TV. and then we get all of our other things through Hulu. We purchased them through Hulu, like HBO, AMC, Paramount Plus, whatever. Or maybe I guess we don't pay for it. But anyway, they're like add-ons to Hulu.

They're add-ons to the Hulu account. Now, we still use separate apps for those. I guess we'll just continue using separate apps for those. I mean, that's a good question. HBO stuff does come up at Hulu. Yeah. Oh, you actually play it through the Hulu app when you play HBO stuff? We can. Yeah, it gives us the option.

says with the Apple TV, we press and hold on a show and we can say open in, and we can choose whether we want it to open in, Hulu or HBO. But by default, by default, it goes to Hulu. That's how Paramount Plus is for us through Prime. Same sort of thing. It plays through Prime. Oh, yeah. Right.

Yeah, this isn't confusing at all. No, not at all. Yeah. Yeah. My guess is, and I don't know the actual answer, but my guess is that all of that functionality will go to Fubo because those are add-ons to Hulu Plus Live TV. and so there'll be add-ons to Fubo and you'll be given the choice

of, oh, do you want to open your AMC stuff in the AMC app or do you want to open it in the Fubo app? Wow, so Fubo is going to be So Brian, you'll whether it sounds like... I finally have to commit to Fubo. I've been a Fubo-fraid. Well, Fubo I always thought was just some weird side joint that had nothing to do with anyone.

I didn't realize it was connected to Disney. It was. It was a side joint that had nothing to do with anyone. It was centered on sports. But when Disney, Fox, and, I believe, a pair amount got together to create a sports streaming service, Fubo sued them, saying, you are creating a cartel that is giving each other a discount when you charge us an outrageous amount. And as part of the settlement of that out of court, Disney agreed to take a stake in Fubo, give it money that it needed to keep operating. and create a joint venture for live television. And the question was like, okay, you know,

what happens to Hulu Plus Live TV? Well, now we know. Hulu Plus Live TV becomes Fubo, and Disney will put some marketing push behind Fubo and get it rolling. I would expect that if it were to succeed crazily, that Disney would just buy out the rest of it and make it part of Disney.

But having it be a joint venture gives them a little distance that if it failed, and they have to shut it down. It's not impacting the Disney bottom line as much. And they're consolidating everything else in Disney Plus. So you'll be able to get all your stuff in Disney Plus. You won't have to think about like, wait, is that on Hulu or is that on Disney Plus? It's all there.

ESPN stuff will be available in Disney Plus, although I believe they will continue to have a separate ESPN app if you want to get the ESPN service. And that is the other part of this news. They announced that ESPN, everything you want, everything ESPN makes. makes over streaming will launch on August 21st. They had already announced the price is $30 a month for that, $299. But you'll be able to sign up for that starting August 21st and not need a cable subscription or even Sling TV or Hulu Plus Live TV or anything. If you want to get all of ESPN in one place, you'll be able to do that start in August 21st.

That's interesting that they're doing that with a sports brand. I didn't realize that. So good time for this transition. I would just say on the content front, they've got the Alien Show. starting, which is already at 100% of Rotten Tomatoes. They've got the new King of the Hill revival, which is also doing really well on Hulu. These are all

Hulu things, FX to Hulu, or in the other case, Fox to Hulu, I think. I don't actually know how the King of the Hill deal worked, but all of that coming at a time when there's reason to check the content out, I think is probably good for them. Maybe that's just happenstance, but good timing

either way. So we'll see how it goes. A couple other notes, if people haven't heard, earlier this week, we found out that Fox is going to create its own streaming service also launching August 21st called Fox One and that will be all the Fox Networks.

It's a little confusing because like you said, King of the Hill was Fox, but now it's owned by Disney and FX is owned by Disney. But the Fox Network, including your local affiliate, Fox News, Fox Business, FS1, FS2, the two sports channels and the Big Ten Network

will all be available in a Fox One streaming app for $20 a month. So honestly, if you get the ESPN app and you get the Fox app, you've got about half the sports streaming that you would need in those two apps. And then you can decide, well, do I need Paramount Plus? Do I need Peacock? And that's going to get you in the U.S. anyway, almost all your sports over streaming without needing cable. The consolidation continues. And that would be less than cable. It would be $70 or $80 depending on how you configure it.

Yeah, exactly, which you have to kind of compare it to. Sean in the chat says that's cable TV prices. Nope, still a little lower. A little bit less. Yeah. I mean, it's going to be more than the introductory price that cable companies advertise, but it's less than most people pay. Yeah.

I know a lot of people like Talley in our chat room, they use the Pirate Bay streaming service, which, you know, is really having a booming moment at the moment. It's against the law. It's literally illegal. It's also buggy, liable to deliver you a virus. And you have to be, you have to know what you're doing to use that service. But it is free.

Lots of features that are bad for you, but features. We're low priced. Very low priced. Hey, Tom, this is fantastic stuff. Tell us what's going on over at the DCNS world so people can check it out all they're thinking about it right now. Yeah, I just finished recording a segment for Justin's politics, politics, politics with the money man, Michael D. Cohen talking about the changes coming to iOS 26, which is now. in public beta. We'll probably be coming to everybody start in September or maybe early October. But we are going to discuss what all the implications are in political fundraising is because the new messages app makes it easier to filter unknown senders.

You can do it before. But in iOS 26, it's front and center. There's a little hamburger menu that you can choose. You can turn on, like, if it's not in my context list, send it away unless it's time sensitive, like, you know, some kind of login code or unless it's a restaurant reservation. There's a category for that, and politicians are worried that you're not going to allow promotions, which is where political messages would come, and thus they will stop being able to scare you into giving them $15 every three. You know what? They're right. I will be doing that. Yeah. They're right to fear it. Yeah. If you want to know how likely that is to ruin political financing, catch me on politics, politics, politics this Friday, along with Michael Cohners. That is fantastic news. I love it. Tom Merritt is Ace to Tech on all the social media.

So follow him there. Tom, have a fantastic week, and we'll see you soon. Thanks, y'all. Bye now. Oh, and I'll be on DTNS today. I should have mentioned that. Yeah, should be fun. Not sure what I'm talking about yet.

Me and Roger are going back and forth. There's a bit of a dearth this week on like tech-connected. gaming news which is usually what I cover but we shall see Brian I've got a little bit of the old something for you here I'm going to play this for it

it's not really news but I'm going to play this text to speech comment from Charles about Brian and his printer are you ready for this? Okay I'm ready for this yes check this out hey guys Charles here from Mass hope you're having a fantastic day the way I figure it Brian is only about 30 3D printers away from his dream

of opening his 3D printing shop and serve the printing needs of the greater Denver area. I'm sure that's not expensive. All my best from Charles. Yeah, he we get this a lot. I love that he chose the Phil Hartman AI voice. He's very excited

to talk to you. Yeah, but a lot of people, we get notes about this all the time that if you are to achieve that goal of the peripheral level of, you know, shop, how expensive would it actually be? I don't know if you've done the crunch the numbers.

I mean, I honestly, the, the, it's not going to be like, um, I open up the shop and day one, I've got 50 people all saying, oh, I need a Captain America shield printed or something like that. Yeah. Um, I could start with the machine I have,

maybe buy one more machine and then just is like, oh, wow, all right, things are ramping up by another machine or two. You know, I don't need to have 30 on day one. Yeah. Again, again, this is like the, the, the, again, the, the, the, dream, but I don't, I can start out with just what I've got and ramp up from there.

It would be so cool. Oh my God, it'd be great. I mean, it's a perfect shop, right? You've got 3D printers in the back. You've got gaming tables and board games in the front with a little cafe kind of thing. And then a little podcasting area in the back with baffled walls, but a window to the front so people can look in while they're playing games or sitting in the cafe and see a show being recorded or hear a show being recorded. It's pipe it out, sure. Pipe it out to the speakers.

And then people would be like, oh, man, it sure would be cool if I had a little mini of a bard with a guitar. Well, I can print that up while I'm sitting in the cafe and then play it to play immediately in the game in half an hour. Yeah, pull it out and you're all ready to go for your next round. Exactly. I love that idea. This is, I mean, basically minus the 3D printing. I would love a, oh my gosh, can you imagine? I want to have like a little. bookstore and then up top I want a I want a cafe let my kids run it we if we lived in the same city it would be really easy for us to well not easy but it would be easier us for us to collaborate on something yeah we could figure it out we could make it happen the tms cafe or something and then

we'd have a live stream 24 7 where people could look in on the on the cafe yeah yeah just it'd be this place that would be you'd all come swarming in all the time we'd have the in and out fans oh man I want this so bad yeah Me too. Well, the dream lives on. Thank you. Sean points out, like, record store? Like, Brian, don't you, wouldn't you rather have a record store?

I mean, kind of, yeah, but. A lot of money in records. I would be the Jack Black who says, no, your daughter really doesn't want you to buy Stevie Wonders. I just called to say, I love you. She really doesn't. That's a good reference for that. I like that. Well, there you have it.

Let's get to this. You know, yesterday I was talking about all the weird Colorado stuff. Yeah, the weird laws. Yeah. A few people say, hey, Scott, you should make sure to mention the weird Utah shit. It's only fair. There probably is a lot of weird Utah shit. Yeah.

And I agree that there is. Let's see if I can, where do my list go? I lost it. One second, everybody. Where did it go? There it is. They are correct. There are very weird things.

I'll give you some examples. Number one, Utah has its own version of Atlantis buried under a lake. Did you know this about us? Did you know we have our own Atlantis? version of Atlanta, they define a version of Atlantis. There's a lot of Atlantis is a pretty big description of something. I agree.

The description, maybe we'll take some of the shine off this, but the town of Locepa, I think is how you say it. Okay. This was founded by Hawaiian converts to Mormonism. There's a lot of those, by the way, a lot of islanders. Once thrived in Utah's Skull Valley, it was later

abandoned and now sit submerged under the Skull Valley, go shoot reservation lands and partially, most of it anyway, underwater. So it's actually under a reservoir. So it's not Atlantis, but it's an old town that now is overrun with water. And if you went down in there, which might be kind of fun. It'd be really cool, yeah. You can see all this old dilapidated stuff.

God, like you expect Haley Joel Osman to go in a submersible down there and see the Blue Angel. Yeah. Just hang there for years. Exactly. Yeah. I like that movie. I did too. I know people are hard on it, but I think there's things to like.

it's illegal to cause a catastrophe literally here's what it says it feels like that should be a lie everywhere but okay kind of yeah it's a little loose in definition right yeah yeah under utah catastrophe again is vague yeah under Utah law causing a catastrophe is and that's the quote is an actual felony

defined by causing widespread injury or damage like an avalanche explosion or flood not your average city ordinance so it isn't just you going run through traffic and cause a bunch of traffic accidents it's like you started an avalanche or starting off a little bomb up in the the mountains with a lot of snowpacked and having it come down. Yeah, I don't know if they've ever once had to like it should be illegal everywhere.

Yeah, exactly. And it probably is just a different term, probably if I had to guess. Or they break it down and say, you can't blow up an avalanche or, you know, I don't know. Right. Here, this is, here's one until 2017, this was true. It's no longer true. Okay. But you can get a drink here, but not see it poured.

That was the thing. Oh, yeah. I think we've talked about this. We have talked about that, which is the weirdest thing. Like, you'd order something in a bar and they disappear behind the curtain and come back with your drink. Yep, they called it a Zion Curtain, is what they called it. Until 2017, Utah bars had to prepare drinks behind a Zion curtain, physical barrier that shielded customers, especially children, from seeing alcohol being poured or mixed. That is no longer on the books.

You can openly pour. Well, somebody think of the children. That is a bit they actually see a drink being made. Yeah, now you see there's a lot of, oh, this funny, the hotel I visited yesterday, they have a huge expansion to their bar. This is partially why. You no longer have to worry about that. So bars have been, especially post-pandemic, have just been remodeling to be a little more up front and center. Right, right.

So dumb. Would they have the bottles, so everything would be in the back, right? So you basically, you go up to a county, you'd say, and not like you know this because you've ordered drinks, but maybe you do know. you go up to the counter you say I'd like a gin and tonic and they say cool be right back yeah that's what they do so the gin and tonic the gin everything would be in the back it wouldn't be like well I'm gonna need this I'm gonna need this yeah no they would go around to a place and I think some places got away with having like a half barrier that they could just tuck behind real quick and add the alcohol you could even just get away with a box yeah a box that

that the bartender works behind it's blocked on three besides from the bar and you still see the bartender. Oh, yeah, my camera is tracking. Oh, it's doing face tracking. A little bit. Not much, though. Not much. That's a good amount.

That's a really good amount. It's subtle. I like that. But the, yeah, having it be behind a box seems like it would be easier. Yeah, it's a, I think I like the idea better of the bartender putting a box on the head of the patron. Just while they're pouring the drink. Just a little blindfold. All right.

Please put this on. Yep. I love it. Anyway, there's a bunch more. Why does it sound like this when you make my drink? Oh, man, the things you can get away with. Yeah. Oh, audio listeners.

I know, yeah, yeah, but you poor things. Anyway, there's a few more, but they're all kind of known. Those are the big ones. So, yeah, well done, Utah and Colorado. You've done it. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's time for us to hear from you, the listener. Got some emails and texts and such.

We're going to start with Jeff Sire, our Canadian friend. Why don't we play this? Here's what he has to say. I always like hearing from Jeff. I feel like he calls us to task a lot, though. No, we have 100% does. Like two-thirds of the emails from Jeff are, boy, you guys really are dumb about Canada.

Or America sure is stupid. Yeah, well, you guys are so dumb up there, down there. But he says this. This is something that came up last week when Bobby, was here. I believe this was last Wednesday. So Scott, Brian and Bobby, must be, because he mentioned Bobby. Just a couple of points on the lady who fell off her

commode only to be viciously licked by a dog and then given leprosy or whatever heinous, heinous disease the dog transmitted. Okay, a couple of things. One, she fell off the commode, hurt herself. The dog licked her wound. Didn't lick it viciously. He's hyperbalizing a bunch of this.

Yeah, of course. And it wasn't leprosy. It was basically, well, she would ended up septic so it's just like an infection oh sepsis yeah sure yeah right uh anyway first i think the lady was in her 80s who lived in an assisted living facility and had someone designated as her primary care uh was carrying a community alert device and was so shaky when she fell off the shitter i would submit that getting licked by a dog was incidental to her death uh how many old people in the u.s died this week by being kissed by grandchildren who inadvertently transmitted a covid mono or syphilis to them probably a non-zero number

but since it's no click it's not click baity it's not being reported i think this lady died of being old too many birthdays yeah too many birthdays will get you man yeah it gets us all yeah i don't think i think that that jeff is probably right on on all that yes he says okay put your tongue firmly in cheek for this part okay all right it's weirdly i'm sorry it's weird anyone dies of anything in the usa since your health care system is so great RFK could have given her some ginsing or something, says Jeff Sire. You're not wrong, dude. Yeah, we know. We know we've got a real winner there with RFK in health and human services, believe me.

Bag of shit. Yeah. Ryan wrote in. This is from Salem, Indiana. I did not know there was a Salem, Indiana. I didn't know that either. Oh, you know, you always hear about the other two Salem's. Salem, Oregon, Massachusetts and Salem, where else?

Yeah, that's it. That's all I think of. Yeah, but Salem, Indiana, geez. Who knew? He wrote this, hey, salami and baloney. Or as I say, Balogna. It's more fun. Bologna.

This is Ryan from Salem, Indiana, you know, one with his, the one with this, sorry, one of the fly-through states where everything is a small town and cornfields. Is that true of Indiana? I don't think of Indiana that way. I think of them as more like racetracks and shit, like Indy 500 stuff. Sure, Indianapolis. I mean, that's it. Indianapolis is the town.

It's sort of south bend a little bit, but Letterman, I think of. Yeah, and Gary. But yeah, I mean the rest of Indiana's farmland, I think. Dave went to Ball State, and I think, is Ball State in Indiana? I think it is. I don't know. I always love the name of that college.

Ball State. Ball State. What is your Ball State? Fine, actually, right now. It's a little batwingy, you know. I don't know what that means. You ever heard of that where you get the batwing? No.

I can't believe I know this before someone else. I can't believe it either. The idea is, I hate to explain it. Someone in the chat will know this, but it's when it's a hot, sweaty day. Oh, and it sticks to your leg. Yeah, and you got a little bat wing going. It's like that. Yeah.

It's like that. Ladies, don't worry about it. You're good. My boys need a home. I don't want your boys in there. There's nothing but the thin layer of gaberdame between him and us. Such a great episode. And I'm a lot of it every minute.

Anyway, right from Salem, Indiana. Anyway, he says this. Anyway, it's hard. Sorry, I heard the same fact about pasteurized milk. He's bringing up the whole milk thing again. Yeah. Can't get enough of the milk data. He says, in fact, they raise the temperature of the milk slowly.

It doesn't require as high a heat to kill the baddies, preserving all the vitamins and minerals. And most importantly, the taste. Is that most important? I guess so, because that way people will drink it, otherwise they want. I mean, the taste and the, yeah, the vitamins and minerals, though, very close second. Yeah, they're right up there together. Yeah. They're hanging out in the same two seats, really.

But because of time is money, most of the big milk goes through the fast method since they can sell more milk quicker. I'm not a scientist, but I saw it in an old episode of Good Eats from the Food Network. Elton Brown taught me a lot like this. taught me a lot like this. But anyway, love the show. Thanks. And then my favorite part of his email, you can use. my name. I don't care. I love that. Yeah, that is that I think that's the one part of the whole

pasteurization thing that we can all agree on is that, um, that a lower temperature more slowly still kills all the bad things that you don't want, but leaves the vitamins and minerals and taste. But the high heat, quick pasteurization is because it's faster, your big milk companies are like, no, we want to push this stuff through as quickly as possible. So, um, so we got to do it this way. Cutting corners to feed the market. Exactly. Makes sense. Get your own cow, everybody.

I found out yesterday, Greg Street, so he has chickens. Greg Street does. He lives down in Austin now or near Austin. And raises chickens. And he ends up with about, I forgot what he said. It's like seven chickens. I don't know if the math works out. But he said he gets somewhere between 25 and 36 eggs a day or something.

Wow. So he, I mean, chickens only lay one egg a day. Yeah, one per chicken. However many, however many eggs he's getting, he's at least got that many chickens. Yeah, at least, I can't remember what he said. He somehow explained it and it made sense in the math when we were talking pre-show. But anyway, he can't, he's having a hard time. He's making too many that he can use.

Right. And he says, maybe I'll mail you some. And I'm like, well, I don't know if those mail very well. But it made me irritated because I'm like, if I live near you, dude, I would be there every day, grabbing eggs you don't use every day. I mean, you know, eggs, the eggs prices are going. going back down or have gone back down beef's gone up but um uh but still that's an expense that if i knew somebody that um that had chickens like oh yeah we've got way too many eggs it's like great

we'll help you out with that business i'll even pay for those damn eggs yeah yeah my gosh dude i love fresh farm fresh eggs i do too yeah the yolks are redder which is what i really like or orange more orange yeah more orange i got a little red in there like it's uh when i was a kid i thought was blood. I wasn't right. I was wrong about that. But I thought it was. I'm like,

yeah, these are fresher because the chicken just died. That's why they're red. Right, right. I was a stupid kid. Anyway, Shandra with a quick note. Okay.

Says Chandra here. I'm gay. And I have to say, whenever Scott says the gays, I laugh my head off. Never change. Just know that you are all a positive force in the world

and make this particular lesbian and laugh pretty hard every single day. That made me happy to hear that because when I do say, ah, they're one of them gays, it's not mean, I am not, I am very tongue-in-cheek ironically being, I'm not trying to offend anybody. Of course. And so far, I've never had anybody to get worked up about it,

so I think it's fine. And then this person seems to confirm that it's okay, at least for them. We're all individuals here, so I can't. I'm not saying Shandra speaks for everybody. But just know my intent when I say, oh, yeah, he's one of them, like when you talk about Blanche Bass

Oh, in sync, yeah. He was the one that was the gay. Right, right. You know where I'm coming from, people. Exactly. It's done in a, it's not done in any sort of derogatory term. We love, we love our LGBTQ community plus. Who, LGBTQ plus community.

Yeah. Really glad you guys added the plus. Oh, I know. It's like, uh, it's just, it's not, it's not, it's not that I don't want the other letters there. It's I can't remember them. No, it's plus now, but pretty soon it's, to be LGBTQ max and that's going to be when it gets really confusing yeah but then they'll change it to just max LGBTQ now yeah yeah I always forget there was a now yeah HBO now there was a go

a now yeah a max and then max just alone and then back to HBO max right good job guys you did it yeah you did it um hey I was going to show you something really quick since we have a second so um one of the things that I kind of was forced into doing with this desk redesign was because my, the thing I got rid of was a desk shelf that went all the way across my desk. And all it did was give me a monitor stand and a place to put a billion toys. And it's like, all right, well, let's get rid of those distractions and let's get rid of that thing, which opens this up so much more. But the other thing that it also did was gave me a place for my air traffic controller to do list thing to connect to. And while back, TV's Travis and other

people said, hey, if you come up with a freestanding version of the air traffic controller deal, then I want it because I want to be able to print it. And I'm happy to say that this kind of forced me to finishing that really quick. So yesterday, yesterday afternoon, I finished the freestanding deal. And what it does, so basically you've got two parts. I did this in one print, dude. I didn't have to do multiple prints to get the connectors working. Oh, you're kidding me. That whole thing in one print. obviously not the dice but well no not the dice and not the little red deals no what I'm saying is I didn't have to do like try the connector oh it didn't fit I have to make an adjustment that sort of thing got so this is the one piece that connects to the back the back has two little holes perfect also mine didn't finish printing I ran out of I ran out of filament but it actually kind of works like it still holds these things in there really well yeah that's awesome I might print the other one but it but it like stays in there and it is super solid I'd put a couple little rubber feet on the bottom, and you're all set.

That's great. I'm going to make this available to the Tadpool, and I'm also going to put it up on printables and Thingiverse and all those other 3D printables. You do some nice pictures of it for the listing and everything. Yes, exactly. I have to write down all the current to-does on here and replace them with very generic to-dos. So nobody knows. So the one that says apply chode butter by noon.

want to change that to something else call call proctologist there yeah change that to just sweep kitchen whatever right exactly that's great very cool looking forward to that came out great holds holds uh eight tasks actually probably could put do a ninth on the very top but um eight should be enough for anybody yeah eight is enough eight is enough uh make sure you check out our discord if you haven't already that'll likely be in there as well uh frogpans dot com slash discord speaking of which uh i want to mention one more time if you are coming to the nerd tacular event or want to come or just want to learn about it or just want to share some information about what you think you would want from the event that survey is still running i'm going to run through the rest of this week and then
