The morning stream smells like apple pie. Hey, everybody, welcome to TMS. This is the Morning stream for August 19th, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Ibit. Still looking for a pair of readers that are not super reflective on the outside. So I can wear him during the show without looking like Elijah Woods character from Sin City. Somebody somewhere's got a good recommendation on

these somewhere. I would think so. Please, somebody let me know. Yeah. Write in. You know how to do it, guys, just write in. You can use any of the methods to write in. Yeah, these are foster grants, believe it or not. Could I take a light grit sandpaper and just like... Just mat finished. Would that ruin them? I feel like it might hinder your vision more than it would help.

Is Foster Grant a fancy brand? I've never heard of that. Yeah, oh yeah. Don't you with the commercials? What were the commercials? Do you know who that is behind those foster grants? Oh, kind of have a vague memory of that? Yeah, now that you hear it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I kind of

let me see if I can find a since we're in a little commercial kick this morning sure why not we were just talking about that Stephanie in the chat says that you can get a Zeni go to Zeni and get some anti-glare coatings these are that and I don't well if I did this though you'd still see my glare though see

I'm not sure that's enough what Brian's looking for is something that actively aggressively blocks glare yeah and there's a difference between anti-glare there's glasses that cut out the glare for the viewer or for the wearer as opposed to reflective glare Yeah,

we want to stop it for you guys who watch the show. Yeah, I don't want you to see the reflection of Mr. Skin in my glasses as I look up

Bailey Quarters after we talked about her. How come Bailey Quarters doesn't come up on Mr. Skin? Wasn't that a real name? Oh, man. I think she,

uh, I don't know. I don't want to know. I don't want to know what she does. Oh, geez. Yeah, no, no.

If she did, great if she didn't great it was her name i don't remember jane oh there you go yeah she was a real smithers she was a real smithers she was a real smithers name of smithers you know in real life you can't do it except her that's the only one jan smithers nice um uh there you guys sent you the video in our in our discord of uh the foster grant sunglasses nineteen 78 ad all right let's take a look here oh yeah we're playing this this is old enough i can play this without any worries i would hope so uh here chat you guys can join along with us here. Here we go. Oh, there's no volume. Hold on.

There we go. Isn't that Sophia behind those foster grants? I say, isn't that my angel behind those foster grants? Voila. Isn't that John Claude behind those foster grants? Hey, old buddy. Isn't that your girl behind those foster grants? Oh, shit. fabulous looks in their polarized gradient and mirror lens is honestly. Isn't that your girlfriend wearing a windshield

on her face? Yeah, isn't that who that is? Wow, that's something. Hey, I remember that now. Yeah. Those Foster Grants behind those Foster Grants. That's great. Are they still a big deal? I guess they're still a big deal enough for people. I mean, they're a big enough deal that you can get a set of readers at Walgreens with the Foster Grants name. So, uh, how the mighty have fallen? Sure. Why not?

Or how the mighty have adapted. I don't know. Right, exactly. Now the ladies at the, you know, memory care facility. Who is that behind those foster grants? Is that my husband? Exactly. That's great.

Okay, a quick thing to start us off today. We got a text, and I want to read this here. This is from Ryan. He says, Dear Squirm and Burrow, have either of you tried the new Worms game on Apple Arcade? It's not perfect, but it's a vast improvement over their past attempts. for iOS. I'm having a lot of fun with a piece. Now, Stephanie, turn this part off. I love worms.

I'm a lifelong worms fan. Since the first one, everything, all the PC versions, I had console versions. Pretty much if you had a platform and worms was on it, I was getting it. I haven't heard of this version. I'll check it out because I currently have a free month of arcade, so I may check it out.

Oh, cool. Oh, you're not just like a regular arcade. No, I don't find, I'm, My thing with mobile games, not that they're bad games, there are plenty. In fact, they're arguably the best games on mobile are in there. Yeah, you get the micro transactions. Yeah, but I often find myself going, all right, I'm playing this, but I could be playing some full-blown thing on my Steam deck or whatever.

So I usually don't get in there. And so for me, it was like, well, what am I spending that money on? And so now what happens once in a while is Apple send me a thing and say, hey, you get a free month for doing this or, hey, you bought a thing. You're getting on the free month. I'll do it during that. But since I have one right now, I can check it out. Have you done a lot of it?

Because I saw the note in here, I'm like, well, I'm going to check it out this morning. And I was looking up to see what the name of it is because it's not just straight up worms. It's like worms beyond. Yeah, they always had a new. Something whirl. I can't remember what it is. And I'm looking to see if I can find it, but I can't.

There it is. Worms across worlds. Oh, gotcha. Okay. Yeah, it's a new name for him. A new name. And for me, it's, it's, it's. Yeah, I mean, it feels like traditional worms.

I'm only, I've gotten through the 18 tutorial levels or whatever it is. And I'm in the first few stages, which still have a little bit of tutorial stuff. And it takes a while to get through the tutorial stuff or the, or the, learn how this game works stuff. But, um, do you eventually play other people or, or what, do you know? Uh, it doesn't, I don't know. Because worms is great for real time play, but it's also, since it's a term-based game, it's good for a synchron. play. And I would love a word and game. Oh, that'd be a great way to do it where, yeah, I could just say, all right, Scott, here you go, beep, beep, pew. There's my mute. And then it's your way. And then

you get a notification saying, I open it up and I see you lob grenades at me. And then I die. And then I go, damn it. And then I kill you with a other thing. And you won't even know for 10 minutes how I killed you. Exactly. Yes. I like that. That'd be a great way. Hopefully they've got hopefully they've got the asynchronous in there. Well, thanks for the heads up, Ryan. We'll, we'll be checking that out for sure. Brian, you got a quick loveboat trivia thing for me. I do. So, I-Corps rode in. Yeah, you should be. I-Corps wrote in and said, for reasons, I had to compile some Love Boat, Love Boat trivia.

I'm not sure how you'd use it, but I figured you could use it for something. Now, this is not, he did not provide things in the form of questions, but I'm going to try and turn it into questions as much as possible. All right. And this all pertains to the original run only, so not the, not the newer, um, who is it? McGinley, right? Ted McGinley. Was it Ted McGinley?

Or the guy played the guy that played the hot, not Hawk, but the Vegas guy. Oh, Yurik. Robert Yerick, wasn't he the unless there was the third thing? There might have been a third thing.

Because Robert Yurk did something. I don't remember what. He was captain of something for no good reason. It was dumb. But I don't remember the deal. Anyway. Anyway, this is the original season, or the original run.

So 10 seasons, 1977 to 1987 to 1987 250 episodes now New Wave that's it

Love Boat the New Wave Yeah that's right Was that McGinley Or was that Oh that was Eurek? I think that was Yurick Okay

I could have sworn Did McGinley come in He was like some sort photographer or something And Maybe he was there at the same Maybe he was also on the ship I think so

Because this was another one That people attribute to The death of the show The McGinley curse Yes exactly I love that. I will never knock tire of the Ted McGinley curse. I think it's great.

Yeah. Let's see. Anyway, we'll figure that out. But, yeah, I'm not seeing him. He's not listed in the top few. That's funny. Okay. Not listed in the top few people in there.

Okay. Oh, McGinley was added towards the end of the real run. So there we go. That's what killed the original. Okay. That's what killed the original. Okay. Thank you very much, Monica, for that.

All right, so the original 10 seasons, 250 episodes. Three actors appeared in all 250 episodes. All right. So not the full cast, but three actors did appear in all 250 episodes. Can you name them? Can I do it by character? Or do I have to know the actors? I'll let you do it by character and see if you can come up with the actor.

All right. I'm going to go with Gofer. I'm going to go with... Gofer is... Oh, really? Yeah. Gophan was not on all 250 episodes, according to ICOR's notes here. Okay. That's wild to me.

Yeah. He just seemed to be hanging around and hanging on everywhere. Okay. Let me try. Let me do another stab. I know Julie wasn't because she had the whole drug thing and they kicked her off for a while. I said, oh, here's your itinerary for this booth.

Go get clean. Yeah, go get some help. Go to the Betty Ford Clinic, Julie McCoy. The doctor guy? Doctor is correct, Doc, Bernie Capel. Okay. And finally, probably Stubing, Captain Stubing, a.

what's his name? I can't think of his name. Hold on, let me think. Ah! I can't think of his name. Gavin McLeod Gavin McLeod gosh dang it All right

He was there the whole time From the clan McLeod He was So he never left Wow all right Who uh 250 episodes The third one was

Isaac Ted Lange Or Lang Ted Lang So he was all He was in I don't remember him Even being in every episode I guess

I had to have been Yeah He apparently was Um All right Damn There Let's talk about

Unique guest stars So Not counting multiple appearances by the same person. Within 100, how many unique guest stars do you think appeared on 250 episodes of Love Boat?

Oh my gosh. Wait, the first part again, without going over 100, you said? Within 100, either way. So either 100 higher, 100 lower. Oh, okay. I'm going to give you a 200 star range. Okay.

Damn. I think there's a lot because what you would do is it only going to count notables and not, you know, here's Ernest Borgnine, but the kid who played his son, we're not counting that kid probably. This, I think, counts everybody who appeared in a life preserver. during the opening credits. I forgot they did that. Everybody who's they've appeared. So like, yeah, when they had like, you know,

this character bringing their whole family and it might have been the daughter from Little House on the Prairie or something like that, but the son, some no-name kid, maybe wasn't included in that. Okay. And there were 250 episodes? 250 episodes.

Man, somebody with a lot of time should make a big lung super cut of the introduction showing every single name in their little life preserver. I would watch that. I would put that on in the background while I worked as well. I'd watch like one of that. I'd watch that once and never again. That's what I would do.

Yeah, yeah. I'm going to say, because of 250 episodes, I'm going to say there were more than one per episode. So I'm going to say, I'm going to say 468. 468 is incorrect I'm going to actually figure out what an average is here 1,389 unique guest stars Oh my

So if I divide that That's freaking terrible on my part That means 5.556 guest stars per episode Holy shit Which Does that mean they counted like all the globe trotters Or something weird like that? That's crazy.

That's crazy. Globetrotter. Maybe, yeah. Wow. What that doesn't include, though, are people who made multiple appearances either as different characters or as the same character. What person appeared the most, what actor, actress, actress appeared the most times on the Love Boat as a guest star.

In the run of the series. in the run of the series. I feel like I should know this, having seen it in the last few years, through its entirety. And I'll even do this. The top three, yeah.

Two of them are known for playing TV moms. Okay. Well, I'm guessing one of those moms has got to be Florence, a pew. Florence, the mom from Brady Bunch, Florence Henderson, Henderson, Henderson.

Lawrence Henderson. Correct. She appeared in. and 10 episodes as eight different characters. And her final appearance was credited as Carol Brady. So we need to seek out that episode, that amazing crossover episode of the Brady Bunch and Love Boat. Okay.

Oh, yeah. Hell yeah. Oh, my gosh. What a shark jumping. Horrible episode that must be. It must be. Yeah, exactly. That the lady.

Oh, this isn't going to be right. I can't remember her name. The I Dream of Jeannie Lady. She's not a mom in her show. Barbara Eden. Barbara Eden, is she in there by chance? She is not among the top three. All right.

You said that two of them were moms? Two of them are TV moms. The third one is not. I assume it's a notable TV mom. She's a guitarist, a flamenco guitarist and singer. Flamenco? Oh. Lameco.

The fruit on the hat lady. Tiki, cheek. She's always going, coo-coo-cuchy-coo. Now you're on the right track, yes. It's like a Mexican-sounding name or Spanish. That is. I guess you said flamenco, didn't you? Yep.

Chiro, Charo, Charo. Charo is correct. Is Charo right? Charo is right, yes. I was hoping you weren't going to go, Carmen Miranda, who was the woman who wore fruit on her hat, wore a hat covered with fruit. I got to tell you, I'll be honest.

I almost said churro, like the tasty treat. I almost got there. Very good. Your third one is Marion Ross. Oh, I wouldn't have that. Well, actually, she had the most episodes. She appeared in 14 different episodes as six different characters, but she became a recurring character, Captain Stubing's wife in her later appearances.

Still doing stuff, I think. I think she's still busy playing roles that are, and it's, impressive how great she looks for her age. Yeah. I'm like everybody except Ron Howard is dead. Well, I guess neither is Henry and Clear, but none of that happened. A lot of those happy days, well, all the happy days adults, they're gone. Yeah.

But she persists. She persists. That's pretty great. Let's see here. Charo, you mentioned 10 episodes, but she only played two different characters, usually the same character, April Lopez, who had like a, you know, a constant flirtation with Captain Stub. and I don't remember what her other character was, but for the most part, she was always April Lopez. Got it.

And she's an incredibly talented guitarist. We always think of her as like, you know, the dancing, you know, hoochy-coochy kind of thing. I didn't know she did guitar at all. I wonder if she did that on any of her episodes on the show. I don't know. There was an extra who was credited with 31 episodes. He's not considered a star, like in the opening,

credit life preserver nothing but a dude named Paul de Seigle sorry Paul de Segley he appeared in 31 different episodes as an extra 31 different times. Wow. That's a busy boy. That is a busy boy.

Let's talk about something that was added into season 9 1985 to 1986 were a collection of women who were regulars for that season only

appearing in 21 of the 23 or so episodes that season. What were these ladies collectively called? I don't know this. I don't know. The... The forgotten ladies. I don't know.

Oh, so close. Maybe Stephanie could give you a hand if with this one. Oh, is it got mermaid in it or something? I'm going to tell you, it's exactly right. The Love Boat Mermaids. Oh, shit. Really?

I don't remember that at all. The most famous of which, she was both real and spectacular. Terry Hatcher was one of the Love Boat Mermaids. What did she choose? Like, what, 12, 13 or something? Probably, yes. My gosh, that's crazy. I don't know how to ask any of these as a trivia question.

So his final selection of pieces of tribut. trivia. The final season was only four episodes long. Julie returned as cruise director, so this was after she got clean. The episodes were actually considered TV movies, so not really a season. So you actually got, you know, bigger, bigger episodes. There was only one normal, quote-unquote, normal one-hour episode, the rest of them were these larger episodes. One of them was a two-part special Christmas episode, and the finale was a two-hour episode, presented as a murder mystery. Oh, my.

So. So the question is, give me the question again? There wasn't a question. That just basically is like some additional trivia. I could not come up with a way to make that into a question. Oh, okay. I was like racking my brain like, okay, I'm ready for this.

I'm ready for this. What was it the four seasons? Okay, I remember the four episodes. I remember that being a miserable end to that show. I'm sure it was. Like, what a whimper. Going out with a whimper. Just a sad,

ending to a that said I want to find the episode with the Brady Bunch the crossover episode and I want to find the two part finale that they're sorry

the two hour murder mystery finale oh yeah dude all of that would be fun he actually suggests watching that for film sack like the two hour murder mystery loveboat finale I would do that

wait is that I would do it too that's not the one with which one had the teaky thing that was Brady Bunch that was the Brady Bunch you have the Hawaiian episode where uh oh my gosh don ho and uh the the the haunted idol that makes tarantulas crawl on you

in the middle of the night that's so shitty i can't believe what we used to do i just can't which was worse the two hour um uh or the two episode brady bunch goes to hawaii thing or the two episode brady bunch goes to the grand canyon and um vinson price locks him in a jail no wasn't Vincent Price. Who was it? It was it Vincent Price? Might have been. Might have been.

Chat said Vincent. Vincent Price. That's a pretty wild. That's a guy who's past his prime and just take him whatever jobs you got. That's what's going on there. Right. All right. Well, we're going to take a turn.

We're going to talk to our friend Bill and you guys are just going to have to groove on it. All right. That's the deal. There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill? Well, There might be, but probably not. It's Bill Duran joining us from PunishProps.com. Hello, Bill.

How are you, man? Hello, and good morning. Oh, good morning to you. It's nice to hear your voice. How's things? Well, DragonCon is next week, so we're... Oh, my gosh. Are you even feeling close to being ready at all?

So today you're starting on your costume. Yeah. Well, this is the week when you have all the best ideas. Right? Of course. Of course, exactly. And no time to see them through, I guess. but I'm excited for you.

What are you going to do? I am waist deep in a project. I started, actually, when I got home from DragonCon last year. Oh, is this the bender car? Yeah, okay, cool. How's it going? Because I saw a recent photo and it looked like that thing was near done. Well, it looks good.

Yeah. I took a little bit of a break for a few months. It's been a multi-part project over this last year. Um, we had a bunch of travel the last few months. We had some obligations, but now I'm back at it. Uh, and the last, uh, the last thing I did before I took a break was I, I was working on the car body for Bender. And, uh, I had left it with a bunch of filler primer sprayed on it. So it was just sitting there for a few months.

Sure. Uh, now we got a video out on the next step that I'm about to cover right now. If anyone wants to go check that out. everything was looking good. I just had like a bunch of sanding. It's probably one of the reasons why I took a break. All I had was a lot of sanding to look forward to. And the car body needed a little bit of work.

Like I was using body filler like Bondo, which is kind of funny. It's what the stuff was designed for for making your car body look better. Sorry, my cats are about to get fed and they're growling at each other. Bondo's great filler for not just cars, but also 3D prints. Like, it's a good, the green stuff is highly recommended for, you know, like, oh, I need to, I've got layer lines and I want something just super smooth and polishable. Kind of like a putty, like you'd putty it to. Yeah. Okay.

All right. And then sand the hell out of it with a rebreather on. Yes. Yeah, you don't want to breathe any of that dust. So I kicked off this part of the project, but doing a whole bunch of sanding. Um, there are also a bunch of smaller parts for the car. There's the big car body, but I've got like headlights and hubcaps and the windshield that all need to get sanding. Uh, and then, um, I primed the whole thing.

I've been using this catalyzed, um, urethane primer. So it's a something you would spray out of like an air gun, but, um, you mix in a catalyst. So it's like the Bondo, it's got, um, it's got a ticking clock before that cures. But what it leaves is a really, um, it leaves is a really, really great shell of primer over the whole thing, and then I wet sanded everything. I got it up to 600 grit, which was pretty darn good. Wait, give me a brief tutorial on what wet sanding is. Does that mean?

So when you sand something like sanding all this primer, it kicks up dust that clogs up the sandpaper, especially at higher grits. Yeah. Yeah. So at a higher grit, like 400 or 600, I wet sand it so that I can. and sand it a whole bunch and then dunk the sandpaper and water to clean it off and then go back at it to leave a really, really super smooth finish before painting. For the metallic-looking parts, I used a chrome paint for like the hubcaps and everything. And then for the car body, I mixed up this blue with a little bit of metal flake in there, so it's got a little bit of sparkle.

but while I was painting it the first time I accidentally hosed one of the doors and it dripped. It's sagged. Oh, no. Yeah. Oh, man. So there's nothing to do but to let it dry and then sand it and then paint it again.

So that was a fun little hiccup. Yeah, I was going to ask how much that puts you back. Yeah. Well, about half a day. Yeah. Sure. So how, tell me about the, or tell us about the eyes, Bender's eyes. you would you originally talked about like oh do I put a video screen in there and have that have the eyes work that way or do I use mechanics or things like that what did you end up going with so I'm actually working on that as we speak that'll be in the next video but his his eyes are going to be physical moving animatronics with like servos and stuff and I've actually got most of that figured out right now and it's very exciting yeah that's cool I love that

love it so he's going to look around he's going to when he says stuff he's going to have expressions with his eyes oh dude it's awesome that's great and you're just going to be what remote control on this dude around the the event and you know yeah like you did with uh what am i trying to remember probius oh probius yeah just like that except um the the head part is going to be animated and he'll be able to talk to people which is very exciting yeah you had a clap trap too didn't you or am i thinking of something else no i had that too he was very low tech clap trap was basically a wheelbarrow. Yeah.

It was like a puppet, right? You were moving the sticks for the arms. He was an animatronic. No, we had like Muppet sticks for his arms so he could puppet his arms. That's actually really cool too. Yeah, it's so low tech. It didn't break. Yeah, right.

Exactly. Yes. So maybe you've explained this in previous episodes and I can't remember, but the guts of this car, the part that will make it a car, make it run and be remote, are you just taking apart an existing RC and shelling it and all that okay all right so the the car part has an RC car in it and then the head part will have um it will have a different set of electronics that we're going to talk to the radio so I should have like a list of of sayings that I can hit and he'll just start saying that stuff and then with the sticks on the controller I can

drive him around that's awesome make his head turn left and right and all that. Look at that. That looks so good, that shot right there is amazing. So I finished the car body with a catalyzed clear coat.

This stuff comes in a rattle can. Just like the primer, it's got a catalyst that you add to it so that it will fully cure in like two hours. And I put a two or three good gloss coats on there

and I'm really happy with how the finish turned out on the car. I got the lights installed. I got the hub caps installed and the windshield there. And the car part is now basically done.

I'm in the process of sanding and painting his head today. And then once I get everything, all the electronics crammed in his head, I got to figure out how to program all that stuff. But I'm pretty confident. I'm using a cyber control board. There's this group of dudes that uses that system to control droids and astromex and the like. And those guys are helping me out. So, you know, I got a week to get this done.

but the spirits are pretty high well that's awesome I know that's a lot of work dude and obviously we love following this one of my favorite projects you've been working on so I cannot wait to see that uber crowded place and people moving out of the way with big fat grins on their faces

that thing goes zipping past people with his eyes blanking yeah yeah so many videos on you know on the socials after dragon con of people like videoing the bender car yeah it's gonna be awesome yeah and so the idea is he'll be able to I'll be able to drive him around and he'll have a list of things he can say and I can just pop those and he'll whip his head around and look at people and tell him to bite his shiny metal ass. How loud, that's got to be kind of hard to project volume like that or audio like that, right?

That's kind of tricky or how you're going to do that? Yeah, I have a speaker that I'm going to use and I'm not at the point yet where I can test how loud it is. So we're going to see how that turns out. Yeah. We'll find out, right? Yeah, I'm going to learn a lot in the next seven days about my robot. I'm sure you are. Well, I am looking forward to more. Find out more at, what's the doghouse system?

What the hell's wrong with me? Go over to punish props.com because all of this stuff is there, and the channel on YouTube has this latest video, along with like a vertical, looks like almost like live stream thing you did or something. Yeah, we did a live stream. It wasn't supposed to be vertical, but I don't know how to do it from my phone, and that's how it turned out. Nice.

Well done. It's all right. The kids love it. The kids love the vertical. Oh, yeah. So, and I'm going to have more videos on Bender after the fact, or after today. And then once, this is version one. That'll be done for DragonCon. And then I have some more pie in the sky features I'd like to add to him afterwards. But we have a, I had to trim my decision list a little bit, what with the deadline looming and all.

So I got a checklist to finish and about seven days to do it all. Take a nap when it presents itself, all right? That's all we're saying. Yeah, you know what? That's good advice. In fact, yesterday I was sanding parts and Brittany came down and said, hey, I'm just going to take a five-minute break. You want to sit on the porch and just have some water?

Yeah, let's do that. You know what? We did that. And then I mean, for five minutes and then I went back to it. Went right back to it. Well, good luck, dude. And we can't wait to check in and see how things go and have a fantastic dragon con if we don't talk to you before.

Bye now. see bill that's cool yeah it's very cool I want one me too makes me wish I was going to dragon con you know I always

I go there and it's like I have such a great time and it's so much stuff and it's so overwhelming it's just so hot and muggy and expensive unfortunately because

you know unless you're lucky enough to score at one of the host hotels you're a distance away and you're having to to, you know, cart your butt in. And those are gone quick, right?

Like those hotels are the host hotels. They go so quick. Because people really, you know, you can buy the next year's hotel while you're at DragonCon this year. They go on sale a year in advance. So basically, you know, you show up, you do your check-in, like, all right, and I'm going to buy next year's hotel now too. Or as you check out, you buy next year's hotel too. Right. It's, um, they're gone so damn quick.

Yeah, makes sense. All right, you guys, we're going to do some quick news. We have this story we have to get to. I've been sitting on it forever. I know. We briefly mentioned it before. We have to talk about it because Brian's right in the way of this thing. Colorado connection.

That's right. So prepare yourselves. Today's news story is brought to you by. Brought to you by Daily Music Headlines. Find out today why the BBC pulled the Ozzy Osbourne special with very little notice. Just pulled it from the schedule. It was supposed to air a couple days ago. and they pulled it and find out why by listening to Daily Music Headlines at Daily Music Headlines.com.

Very nice. In Fort Collins, we got rabbits with tentacles. Oh, shit. Yeah. Look at this. This is the last of us looking stuff. This is your cordyceps mushroom fungus kind of thing going on. People are calling them zombies and aliens and whatever.

But they've been quite alarmed there, the locals, when wild rabbits appear to be sporting tentacle-like facial growth. scientists reassured the public. These are bizarre protrusions are merely wart-like tumors. This is caused by a chope papillovirus. Sorry, papillamavirus. Papilloma.

Papilloma virus. Papaloma. Yeah, not papilloma. Anyway, a common DNA virus in wild rabbits that doesn't harm humans or pets. It will not spread to you. You will not get it. Wildlife experts.

If you're cats, your dogs won't get it. Yeah. No. It says where to go Common DNA virus rabbits Abdu da Wildlife experts

advise observing from a distance and avoiding interfering not because you're going to get it but because just leave them alone

Just leave them alone These rabbits live The rabbits with tentacles Made me want to rip my skin off And I'm not joking Says an online person Well did they Did they make you want to rip your skin off

And I'm not even joking Really? So literally, you wanted to physically pull your skin off. Yeah, which seems like, if not joking, maybe a little hyperbolic, you know? Maybe, maybe just a little bit. I'm going to guess that if you saw something that nasty, there's nothing in this world that would make you tear your skin off, given the pain and the medical problems you would have. That would ensue afterwards. Yeah, I don't like, I know we all do this to some extent where we all go.

Of course. was so funny. I almost died, right? I just died a little inside or something like that. Yeah. We say this stuff all the time. I didn't really pee a little. I didn't really pee a little bit. Yeah, exactly. And I do this with my wife and kids. They'll say, I don't know, we miss the, like we'll miss a turn and I know we're supposed to turn in the car. I'll go, ah, we're all going to die. I'll say that sometimes. And I know we're not going to die. Right. Of course, yes. But, you know, so I'm just saying online, maybe we can all tone that down a little bit. Maybe just a little bit. Yeah. The thing that they haven't really been able to determine, because this is, they've got the medical experts up in Fort Collins at the university up there studying them and trying to figure out, hey, what, you know, what this virus, this little DNA virus does.

And it doesn't appear to them like there's any pain. They just have these tenets. Oh, interesting. So they don't feel it. they're just to let it you know maybe you just feel a little weight on your face or something I know like exactly it's like you

you kind of want to look and say oh my gosh can we put these things if they're in pain can we just put them out of their misery and yeah that sort of thing but geez yeah but if they're okay let them let them run I guess you know I don't have any plans to go up to Fort Collins and look at the tentacle rabbits I was going to say as a local

do you feel any compulsion to head out there no no all right you get some good pictures get up close to one, do a little selfie. Do a little selfie. Yeah, hold still rabbit. Me and the tentacle rabbit. I love it. Tentacles are for kids, he'll say, and then I'll run off, hop off. Silly rabbit. I got a fun thing for you. Cool. I was like fun things. You know these AI images that are complete bonkers and they're stupid to look at? Well, I found one for family guy that I had to share. Okay. This is pretty good. So these are supposed to be a list of family guy characters. And actually,

see this top list, you might go, okay, well, the drawings seem okay. I already like it's the Femil E guy. Yeah, Femil E. Y. Yeah, that part, I'm good eye, by the way. I missed that entirely. So it's already dumb, right? But it's already dumb. It's in the right font.

It's like, you know, the characters, it's great. And now we have characters that are absolutely don't exist. Alfred Gunster, whoever the hell that is. Hilda. Alfred Guntz. Yeah. There's no Hilda. That's not Hilda. Or Hida. It's not even Hilda.

It's Haida. Haida. Oh, that's true. There's no well in there. It's the, yeah, what's the creepy guy? What's his name? Harold?

Chris. You have some popsicles, Chris? I can't think of his name. Lester. Something the pervert. Pervert. Herbert, Herbert. Herbert the pervert.

I knew it rhymed with pervert. I couldn't remember. Yep. Ida. Lester the molester. Yeah. There's Ida who I think is supposed to be Joe. I think that's supposed to be Joe.

And then you have, my name is Cleveland. That his name is Joe. So that's mixed up. Right, right. Tom Tucker. Okay. That's closer.

Yeah, that's an anchorman Tom Tucker. Death, sure. Cleveland is wrong and it's also with a K. Lois, they nailed it. Ruper. Ruper. You know, Peter, but Rupert. Boy, the one thing you'd think they would get right is the main characters in the family.

The main character. And Rupert is the teddy bear, right? Like, uh, oh, is it? Teddy bear? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know I had a name. Stewie? is this dog

Dewey is Scooby Doo It's not even like It's not even like the dog dog Ernie the chick the giant chicker The chicker The chicker There's Lois looking like Cleveland again Another Cleveland again

Yeah bag with a pencil thin John Waters mustache It looks like Something's wrong there Tom Tucker Vinnie Vinnie looks an awful awful like The Tom Tucker above

Yeah totally does Joshua Fortnight There's two of them One's a dog Two Joshua Fortnights Finally Stewie shows up in the form of Peter There's Seamus and then Glenn Glenn Quagmire is totally wrong

Oh my gosh yeah So good job guys Wow AI Yeah you did it great You know what's worse I never saw an episode of family guys Sorry look at these terrible Pokemon

Aboulazar Abolessar, Charmander, Germander, Gvertal, vulpin. Pick, Pekashu. I also like how they're trying to match it up

with the letters and even knowing AI can't say, oh, well, there's an E, I'm going to begin E cans with an E. It's such a weird, it's a weird thing.

It's half an inch away, AI. Yeah, you're right there. It's right up by his face. There's go-do. I like go-do. go do yeah twob that's a fun one twob yeah um let's say if there's any of synthi's pretty good

padact greffin mobat horse seed uh evy's right isn't that spelled right but it's also on the x which makes no sense but yeah it they wrote evivvv that that first v is is uh the mistake

E, E, V, E, E, would be right. But the artwork looks correct to, so at least they get that. They got that. But all the letters are wrong. All the letters are wrong. V for horsey, W for Tendacril, Mobat for Y. And there's no Z. There's no Z at all.

There's no Z. Yeah. All right. And there's Zapdos, you know, there are Z Pokemon. I do this once in a while to just remind people that we're not to the point where you have to panic yet. Okay. Yeah, exactly. Some of this stuff's pretty bad.

And it's okay. that it's bad we'll all just enjoy it thank goodness like i like i like i like i like i like i being able to be identifiable as a i yeah that's the level of a i that i'm comfortable with same i'm also pretty comfortable with your voicemails and we got one from chuck not that chuck different chuck different chuck yeah different chuck this is about shift keys and i've been holding this for a couple of days i'm pretty sure this is hello yeah it's a i i voice okay uh but it's uh when he sent a while ago so sorry this took so long chuck here it Hello, to our glorious cover lord and also Scott.

I was surprised to learn that people don't use both shift keys. All the typing classes my parents made me take in the 80s ingrained in me that the left shift is used when typing a capital letter from the right side of the keyboard and the right shift is used for the left side of the keyboard. Am I an outlier for using both shift keys? Thank you so much for all the amazing things you both do. Honk? Ah!

I know that reference. Yeah, I mean, if you learn typing in school, or more importantly, because I learned typing in school and none of it stuck, I still, I type with maybe these six fingers right here only. Sometimes I'll use the other ones, but it's really just mainly these six. And I don't, I probably don't have to, but I look at the keyboard when I type. Oh, interesting. So if somebody said to you, though, they said, hey, type this without looking, you could probably do it. I could try it. Let me see.

I'll type something in chat right now. let's do mushrooms since I'm thinking about the cordyceps mushrooms so I'm going to look up I'm looking up here

I'm not looking down the keyboard okay how do I do let's see what is that mud hop up I look like AI

like AI for mushroom here hit is it in the sheet hit enter so I can see what you did oh it's in the it's in chat oh YouTube chat

oh YouTube chat okay yeah I'll do it in the I'll do it in the this sheet. Give me a word. Fantastic is the word. Okay.

All right. Oops. Let's try that again. What? Oh. What? I was totally off on that one. What is that word?

There is not even the only letter I got right, I think, was the I. Yeah. H-N-S-Y-S-D-R-Y-O-O-V. Okay. So clearly I do need. to look at the keyboard. Well, and this just illustrates a point. Everybody's got their own methods.

My dad was a middle finger typeer. It's all he did. He was really fast, but he was like, middle fingers only. And he was really quick with it. I'm full fingers, full hands, but no right shift. And I can do it without looking. So if I typed, I don't know, I'll try the same word, I guess. Yeah, see, that's it.

That's pretty easy for me. Now, I don't know why that is, why everybody, we all kind of branched. into directions. This guy clearly stayed with whatever they told him to do with that right shift key. But my right shift key is lonely. He's just sitting there going, yeah. You ever going to use me? Because even when I'm using keys on this side,

I am pinking down the shift on this side and hitting W or E or whatever with the same hand. So this hits the shift and then these do the caps. And on the other side, it just doesn't get used. So I don't know what the most common thing is. Yeah, so I mean, I'm looking at the gloss, Like, you know, the keys, you can see which ones are the glossiest for getting the most use.

And obviously, spacebar, return. That shift key is as Matt as the day it was born. As the day someone in China glued it to this keyboard, it is... That's amazing. Yeah. Well, if anyone needs any shift keys, Brian and I got you covered. We got spares that we are not using. Yeah.

I think if I would have put my, like, if I would have put my finger on the F for Fantastic, I would have done better. Let me try it. Let me do one more here. Oh, yeah. If you start with your finger in a certain place, that usually helps. Hey, all right, look at that. Or is it.

Did you hit enter? Yeah, it's two down from under yours. Oh, it didn't show up for me. It just shows your red. Sometimes, yeah, sometimes the spreadsheet won't show it. Like if I do, oh, there did. It just popped. Okay.

Yeah, so you got it, nailed it. I got nailed it. If I start with my finger on the right key, my my brain visualizes where the other ones are and I can type and I did it with more than just these three fingers. Oh, very nice. Very, very nice. I just realized something too. So on this mechanical keyboard here, yeah, um, the key, the right shift key is shorter, substantially shorter than that one. So I waste, yeah, why waste the plastic? I think that's what they're doing. I think they know. I mean, this is a specific layout. It's called the 101. I know is the 88. Whatever it is. There's

a specific layout where you nestle your arrow keys in between. Oh, yes, yes. I forget the name of it. That's a number, but, um, so who knows? You know who can tell us all this? We have a guy. Johnson of work. No, uh, cash in our community. I don't know if he's listening to TMS these days. He's the guy who hooked you up with that keyboard. Yeah, he's the one that did the whole thing. Yeah, he made it for me. Yeah. Um, he knows this stuff up and down. He probably has an answer to this. So cool. We'll find out if he hears this episode. If he doesn't, I'll ask, him. How about that? Let's see. We also got

this, oh, where to go? I lost it. I lost it. Hays Skunk Oh, there it is right there. Found it. Yeah, Hayes Skunk sent in our voicemail. There's an actual voicemail on him talking. Let's see what he has to say. Hey, Snoochies and Voochis. This is Hey, Skunk calling from Beaver Bay, Minnesota.

I was just listening to TMS 2869 and Brian was desperately trying to figure out where he had heard something about a telefunken P-48. I believe. He's thinking of Joe's Garage by Frank Zappa where he makes several mentions of the telefunken U-47, as in it looks just like a telefunken U-47. Is that one that is? Is that where it came from?

100%. That is it is the song Joe's Garage or the album, but specifically the song Joe's Garage by Frank Zappa. The telephone can you, oh, what was it, U-47, U-58? It wasn't P, it was a U. Yeah. Can't remember. That's okay. Well, then there you go. We found it. Yes. Thank you for that. Oh, my God. That's, uh... We were like a week of this wondering and we didn't know until today.

Yeah. Yeah. Where's Frank Zappa? He'd die. He died. Yeah. Yeah. He died in the 80s. Oh, it's been that long. Jeez. It's been a long time. U-47, the telephone in the 47. When did Frank Zappa die? I assume dweasel and the... 93. They're still around, right? And they're still doing something. You don't hear a lot from Dweasel Zappa. You don't. You don't hear a lot from Moon Unit, Dweasel.

Like, for a while, Dweasel was doing a game show, um, some Fox game show. And I can't remember what that was all about, but, uh, moon unit had that ballet girl thing and then, and then I don't know what, what happened after that? Just here she is, Moon Zappa. Well, she just goes by Moon now. She always looked like, uh, she looked a little bit like Justine Bateman back in the day. Yep.

you and I had a shared crush on those we 100% did yeah oh yeah she's still she kind of still looks a little like at least I don't know how recent these photos are but she kind of looks like an older Justin Bateman let's see she married Paul Doucette drummer and rhythm guitarist of American pop group

Matchbox 20 oh really oh funny yeah they had a baby named Matilda Plum Doucette and then they divorced in 2014's that's a shame yeah what are you going to do I really thought those kids that I just heard about were going to make it. Yeah, that we just talked about just barely.

Yes. She was in an episode of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Moon was. She's only a year older than us. Yeah, I was going to say, we're all. She's age-appropriate for us to still have her crush on. Yeah. She got that Zappa money.

Yeah, she does, right. We got one more here. This is just a quick one from Jason. This is him and his AI voice, but he made it. himself oh okay so here it is hello this is my bad a i voice scott loves to scream cheese at monkeys all right there you go that's pretty good that's pretty good that's pretty good yeah i was gonna say oh did he train it on his own voice but no that is his own voice it's just his ai voice yeah he's just doing you know well humans are dead his version of that i wish i i think a i here's my problem with

AI voices. It's really interesting technology. It's actually crazy how good it is. Like all of that stuff you can have conversations about. But yeah, I want, I don't want my science fiction to sound like people talking normally. I want, I want my robots, my computers to go, to hello, good to see you, Captain. Even if they're, even if they have good enunciation, I want them to be like, yes, hello. Let me ask you about that. So the, um, so the ship's computer on, on, uh, Star Trek. Yeah. Fine by that. Totally fine with that.

Yeah. Okay. Because she's not, because here's why. Yeah, but she's, but she's not sounding like, you know,

you hear the dude on GPT going, hey man, what's up? How's your day going? Oh, sure. Like that kind of casual, I don't want.

What I want is like a little bit stiff and a little bit up your own butt computer. So I want Major Barrett to go, these captain, the outside of the ship has breached the hole. We have 10 minutes until, like emotionless. That's what I want.

So, You don't want Picard to go, uh, computer, provide me a list of what possible alien races that ship could be from. I'm fine with it as long as she says. Yeah. Calculating.

Right. Here's your list. Those could be pack lids. Yeah. And I need some like, in between and stuff like that. I got to, I got to have all that.

If you don't give me that, what are we even doing? Yeah. Thank you for your calls. Like what, boy, you know, like other, other AI voices in sci-fi, we never heard from Mother, right? Mother was always just written on a screen and alien. I don't think Mother talked, yeah. There were other computer voices, though, in some future, were like, I think Prometheus maybe had a computer voice.

I mean, well, yeah, Fastbenders, technically. Yeah, but I think there was even maybe a ship thing. It was like a computer, a ship computer that had it. I remember right. I can't remember. Charlese. That movie got too modern for being a prequel to a thing that... It did.

They're getting it right now. Like, this is good what they're doing now. Like, they're sticking to that aesthetic. And I think that's great. But back in the day, you know, when Prometheus happened, and you're calling yourself like a hundred and two hundred year previous prequel, it's like... Right.

But why does everything look like fancy and slick and nice? Cleaver and more advanced. Yeah, exactly. Um, ironic name says he thinks mother talked in Alien 4. Oh, that could, was it still called Mother? Oh, Mother had an audio countdown. That's true. Yeah.

When she was counting down the self-destruct of the ship in Alien, you got a voice. Oh. Was that her then? That's supposed to, I guess it's the ship. Yeah. Yeah. They only programmed, uh, 10 numbers. See, but that's, those are the voices I like because they're, they're unemotional about the

terrible thing about to happen. Like in aliens, when they're trying to get off of the planet and she's waiting for Bishop to get his ass over there, the voice is calmly saying, you have 15 minutes to minimum safe distance. But the place is falling apart. I don't want AI that's like, you guys got to hurry. We only have 15 minutes. Oh my God, dudes. You've got to get out of here. Yeah, I need it to be discordant, right? And clash with the moment. I think I think I still want, I want AI to go back a stage and sound more like glados. I think that's where I want AI to be. Just very identifiable.

Almost too calming. Yeah. A little modulated, a little bit of a weird, crusty. A little arrogant. Yeah. Because she's kind of got the whole condescending. I told you how to do it. Like she's got kind of a her.

Exactly. Yes. Right. I like that shit. All right. Well, that's it for your messages. Thank you for sending those in. If you'd like to send more, You can find all the ways to do it over at frogpants.com slash TMS. Speaking of which, that's the website for all our other stuff, including requesting songs and that sort of thing. As far as programming goes today,

you got the daily music headlines like Brian mentioned yesterday or earlier today. That is on today. That's already up, so you can go check that out right now. You can find play retro later today with me and Brian Dunaway. That's at 4 p.m. mountain time at frogpance.tv. And I'm sure other stuff, too. Kim made a quick Kim's kitchen where she made the fast version of making jalapino

or pickled jalapeno slices. Ooh, I'm watching that. Super simple, super fast, really easy. Love me some pickled jalapinos. Yeah, and I'm always surprised how good the quick pickling process is just as good as like the put in a hole for two weeks or whatever. Yeah.

So that's up there now. That's on the YouTube channel so you guys can check that out. I think that's everything. Brian, go ahead. I got to make some burger sauce for, Saturday for the big party Saturday. Like burger sauce, I got to find the mandolin to cut some some onions super thin. You smashing that day on the thing?

Yeah, doing smash on the griddle. I've got my smasher, got my parchment paper to put under the smasher so it doesn't stick. But I want super, super thin onions and slices of tomatoes. That sounds so good. Yeah. I know, Wes, you're like, there shouldn't be any veggies on your smash burger except for onions. disagree i know but i'm going to be doing it with like lettuce and tomato and cheese good tomatoes i'm i'm yeah i'm with brian you can do you can do more yeah i don't think she i don't like cheese on them

because they just make everything feel like a mush to me that's just me oh really taste taste will vary but for me when it's smashed and done and the onions are part of it and all that then a thin tomato lettuce some condiments or whatever pickles yeah nothing wrong with any of that i'm going to be providing like the the people coming the kids i keep calling kids you know these are tristan's age 28 in 25 to 30 year olds well um coming to this thing but i'm going to be providing them with a bare bones smash burger with uh the the burger the you know the meat the bread maybe the cheese maybe the sauce if unless they say please no um and letting them put whatever veggies and stuff they want on them yeah give them a little veggie bar kind of thing yeah yeah exactly i'm jealous i wish i could

My father-in-law just harvested the biggest, most beautiful, perfect tomatoes you've ever seen. Big, beefy, beautiful. And they're just unlike store-bought ones, they taste good. Yeah. Man, grown tomatoes. We've got a bunch of grown tomatoes we're going to be using. Tina's a whiz with grown tomatoes in the garden. So we'd be using those.

If I could, I would send you this whole crate because I'm guessing we're not going to get through them before one goes bad. If you could, I wish you would just be here to celebrate. celebrate Tristan Nika's wedding. That would be awesome. You know what else would be cool. Let's meet in Green River. Because apparently they got really good melons right now in Green River. Oh, really in Green River? Yeah.

I just watched a movie or a TV show that took place in Green River, Utah. What the hell was it? Oh, really? Yes. It's not that thing with Hulk in it, Eric Banna in it, is it? No, that was... The Untaimed was Yosemite National Park.

God, there was something that you and I just watched. This is the problem with us like binge watching so much stuff one thing right after another that I forget some of the specifics of the thing we just watched. It wasn't, we just watched Band of Brothers. I know none of that took place in Green River, Utah. No.

But there was something that we just watched that did. And Band of Brothers has some weird cameos. God, yeah, no kidding. I'm Hardy in there, too. Yeah, a little Tom, early Tom Hardy. I think doesn't late night show host Jimmy Fallon show up for a hot second? Oh, does he really? I think Jimmy Fallon's in there, I think.

Wow. He's very young, though. It was a blink and blinking, I'll miss him kind of thing. Yeah, not a big part. Obviously, I mean, Ron Livingston is such a big major character in there. Dude from Homeland. But then you've got like the guy who was, he was in later

like a lot of later episodes of Arrow and the Flash as a villain Oh I know who you mean I can't think of his name But I know what you mean Yeah He's in there too

It's wild how many people are in there And how many careers came after that It was a bit like Black Hawk down to be honest Of course David Schwimmer Getting done dirty There's oh look at that That's Fallon and Band of Brothers

Yeah How did I miss Fallon? I mean it's kind of helmet and everything it's kind of hard to catch. Yeah, no kidding. I don't think I noticed the first time through. Oh, Neil McDonough, yeah. Oh, yeah, he's great in there.

Yeah, that shows so good. Now you've got to watch the Pacific. Also awesome. I have to watch Pacific. Yeah. Yeah, right, which is the follow-up or the... It's by the same people. Same producers.

I don't know if it's pulled from the same source material. Maybe it was. I don't think so. Different author, but the, very similar. It was like a really early Rammy Malick in it. similar thing where you see some actors and go oh my gosh they went on to be big deals i like the pacific has the coolest intro song uh was co-written by hans zimmer but it has the best intro song oh it's just sweet it puts me in a place gives me chills every time

oh so good huh anyway um i wonder if uh let's see might have one one of those horror movies that i watched the monkey maybe i wonder if the monkey has part of it takes place in green river Utah. Oh, maybe. Little America I didn't watch. I mean, I know little, yeah, Little America. The monkey.

That's the one where the monkey kills everybody. It's like the Psh, Psh, Psh, wind up toy monkey. Yeah. I didn't see nobody too, ironic name,

so I know it can't be that. Yeah. And Scott did just watch nobody too, and he'd know if it was definitely not Green River now. Yeah. It was somewhere in Florida. nobody too is great except that part

I don't know if Travis is in there but Travis and I have a differing of opinion about the villain Yeah I love who they cast And I love the idea but they blew it I know monkey Stephen King So it probably took place in Maine

Oh yeah good point Probably Oh this is the I didn't realize that was This monkey thing was tied to the king thing Yeah it's Is it good? it's good it's over the top like very over the top as far as deaths like your your final destination level over the top deaths okay there's one there's one with a woman jumping into a swimming pool

that i think is physically uses the uses some pretty impossible physics sometimes that can be fun sometimes i can take you out yeah because it depends on your mood but but i really enjoyed it and it's streaming now so nice check it up present Did Presence have something? Anyway, we'll figure it out. Somewhere Green River figured in, is what you're saying. Yeah, yeah. Actually brought up Green River, Utah, like they mentioned Green River, Utah.

Well, let's meet there for melons, Brian. We're getting them done. That's going to do it for everybody and us. Frogpants.com slash TMS. We'll be back tomorrow with a whole new show. And presumably, I actually don't know if you have Tom. They're having Experiment Week, and sometimes he takes that off. So I'm not sure what tomorrow is.

I'll tell you what, I'll promise you right now, people. If we don't have Tom tomorrow, we'll open the, phone lines and do a call now. It's been a while. Oh, that'll be fun. Yeah. You know, I think he and I lean are on vacation because I have to cover Eileen's daily music headlines on Thursday. So I think it might be out. I think you're right. In that case, plan on that. We're going to have a call now. That means all you weirdos can call in. Yeah. And we'll accept your call and then hang up on you abruptly when we don't like what we hear. That's right. When we don't like your question. Yeah, which is inevitable. Anyway, that's all coming up

tomorrow. For now, though, let's play a song and get out of here. Sounds good. Let's go to Providence Road Island for some more punk rock. I don't know if I'd call these guys punk rock. They're rock, man. They're really, really good. The band is called Structure Sounds. Structure Sounds. They've got a brand new cover ZEP that's coming out September 19th.

And listen, if this is any indication how good it's going to be, I'm super, super excited about it. The first two singles have been released. And what's cool about them is when you look at them in Apple Music, one right above the other, they actually make a picture if they're on the right order. Oh, cool. It's kind of cool. The first two singles are

blinding lights by the weekend, but the one we're going to play is Back to Black. Amy Winehouse is Back to Black. Covered here by Structure Sounds. He left no time to regret, kept his dick wet with his same old safe vats. And me in my head high, and my tears shy, get on without my guy. And you went back to what you knew.

So far removed from all that we went through And I tread a troubled track My odds are stacked I go back to black We only said goodbye with words I dive 100 times You go back to her I go back, sir

Us I love you much It's not enough You love flow and I love And life It's like a pipe And I'm a tiny penny rolling up
