From the beginning I have bill this place with my sweat my sweat and I watched a lot of good men sweat defending it Pipi and Kaki in Pipi Cuckaland

This is the morning This is the morning stream Ah that's the level of stupid we're looking for Hello, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Thursday, August 28th, 2025. I am Scott Johnson. That is Brian Nibbitt. All of these things that you say can be verified as true. Let me check with folks at CNN here. Yep, all of it, giving all of it the thumbs up. Oh, we're just, we have little things in our ear. You guys don't know about it. Yes, that's right. Everyone's what I'll say. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm hearing that,

Uh, uh, the, uh, having a hunger is the same as having a hunger. I've heard, okay, good. Confirmed, confirmed. And if you're not a patron, you won't get that joke. You need to become a patron and hear all the banter that we have at the top of the show. That's right. Or listen to yesterday's intro, I guess, because I had the, oh, you did have that as your, uh, right, exactly. But, you know, that's a lot to ask for people.

But become a patron anyway. Yeah, yeah. Just become a patron. If you're not already a patron, then you're missing out. Like if you're, you want 10 extra minutes of show per day. Actually, more than that, because you get the post show. too, then become a patron, get all the extra goodies. Yeah, you want to hear us, you know, you hear that intro when you're like not a patron

and you go, wow, that went really smooth. Those guys just tore right through it. So sometimes we epically screw up and we keep that for those people at the end. For you. Yeah. And it costs you what, a buck a month? Boy did we, boy did we underpriced that. Oh, my gosh.

For all the stuff we give people. My goodness. That's the problem with starting early. We don't know how that stuff worked yet. It's true. It really is true. lame uh well anyway we're here we got a show to do and i got something fun right off the bat okay all right good brian's always quizzing us he's a quizzical guy does his uh his trivias all the time

and is you know pints and questions dot com all these things maybe puzzled pint is the thing you're looking for that's it um but we very rarely get to go back the other direction at least i do so today i found one i think you'll find interesting in this This is how this quiz works. At the end of a lot of TV shows, us growing up or even modern ones, some are going to, it's going to be a mix of those things. There would be like a little bit of a production stinger logo thing at the end of the show. The post title card or post whatever they called it, the, yeah, the production company's title card. Yeah, something like I think they called it a title.

I think they actually called it a card. Yeah. Something like that. I can remember if it was a title card. It's one of those things that I always admire. I always love those things. and the ones in movies I think are great except for the arrow that's all broken and off

I hate that arrow the BSG entertainment or ESG or whatever it is where it's the it's horrible the dude's shooting the arrow through multiple targets and it's physically impossible the angle that he's getting yeah it's just they go to so much lengths to create a realistic statuesque

thing and then they get the physics completely wrong and it annoys my favorite one of those by the way can remember who it is but it is that's how that's how good it is I can't remember who it is but it's a shape

it's like a like a physical thing dangling on a string in a room a little small room and there's light hitting it from three sides and the way this thing is shaped it's the light

hitting it shows the three letters of the company that make it up it's does that make sense yeah why is that yeah like someone's gonna remember this in the chat.

Is it Blumhouse? It's not Blumhouse. That one is the, that one's pretty cool now with all the different, you're backing through a house that's got like slasher's and murders and things in it. That's really good.

All those are great. I love it. I'd love to be, whoever does those, that's the coolest job ever. It would be the coolest job ever. Yes, I love that. All right.

So here's what we're going to do. I'm going to give you a quiz of, I have enough here to kind of fill, you know, we may not do all of these is what I'm saying, but we're going to get we're going to get through them and the goal here is brian here's the wing condition if you get one of these uh by the name of the production company you get a full point if you don't know that but you know one of the shows that would apply to that production

company like a show that that production company is known for making i'll use an example that say i did a thing for the ending of i didn't use his so i'll go ahead and say it the guy at the end of uh law order. You don't remember his production company, but you might remember law and order. Dick Wolf. Dick Wolf Productions. That's right. I didn't do his, so that's just an example. Okay, good. Good.

So, yeah, so remember this. None of these are Dick Wolf. All right, so I'm going to just start with the top one, and then let's see how you do. All right. So this is an audio quiz. Let me turn that. All right. Here we go. Here's your first one. Starting easy. Okay. That is the end of the Simpsons.

And that is, it's a woman's name. And the name is, this is the tricky part. This is why this is fun. This is the tricky part. Yeah. I mean, for sure you get a half point for that. Yeah, you get the half point for Simpsons.

What the heck is the woman's name? Shoot, I'm not going to be able to come up with it. All right. We're going to give you a point five for that one. That is Gracie Films. Gracie. Yes. Yes.

All right. So there's that one. It's also an accurate representation of Brian Abbott in a movie theater. Oh, is it? And then you play a little guitar. Doodoo do do do do and do. I mean, it's so ingrained in our head. You hear it and you immediately go Simpsons.

Of course, it's so common. All right. I always want to hear, do, do, do, do it do. After it to the 20th century Fox theme. All right. Here's one that is a little trickier, I think. This was tricky for me, but you may remember it. It's a little bit, a little bit older.

not horribly old. I'm thinking late 90s, early 2000s. So here you go. Oh, well, the cat tells me it's M-TM productions. Oh, my gosh. Brian nailed it. Well done. Full point. Mary Tyler Moore's production company. She always had that cat. Yeah, it was like her version of the MGM. The MGM, exactly. The MGM lion. It's pretty funny, funny idea she did there. Yep.

All right. Well done. That was awesome. That was very quick. How about this one? This one's probably easy. Maybe. I don't know. Sit, Obo, sit. Okay. That came at the end of Family Ties. And the company, Good Dog Productions? No. Is that your answer? I'll stick with, I'll stick with Good Dog Productions.

It is Sit-U-Sit Productions, literally the name. It's really called Sit-U-U-Sit? Oh, that's hilarious. Yeah, which is pretty funny. I thought that was just the audio and the name was something else. But you do, it's a bit of a trick question, but you do get a 0.5 for that one because you had the show. All right, here is this one. This one should be, maybe not. Maybe it is.

It's older. But here you go. Yeah, what was that? Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Oh, shoot. I'm going to say. some of these will be tricky paramount but i i'm going to go with paramount because i don't think i'm going to be able to come up with it is it paramount it is paramount congratulations wow well done

well done boy that's like that's like the that's like the harry kim answer of the day today no kidding yeah how what was what shows did they use that at the end of because i know well so there would have been star trek tng had it um so you could have said that that's that's that's That's where you'd hear it. Probably us hearing it the most, right? But any kind of Paramount Produced thing would have suffice. All right. Here's one that is, the hint here is it's a little newer. And this might be tricky, but we'll see how you do. Maybe you'll get a show. That's the whole of it. Is that Chondaville? Or what's Chandra Rhymes? Shondaland. You nailed it. Shandaland Productions, Brian. Shandand, yeah, it's a little amusement park, yeah. Very good, very good.

All right. How about this one? This might be, well, it depends on what you watched it in the 90s, I guess. Here you go. I don't think I watched whatever that was. A bunch of 90s kids in the chat. I'll probably get it. Okay.

In that case, I'll say, oh, I wonder if that was SpongeBob. I mean, it feels very, it's something coming after an animated show. Let's say, um, let's say SpongeBob is the show. I don't know if I'm going to be able to come up with the, the production company. Well, you're right about SpongeBob. Okay. The production company is Nickelodeon's Clasky Casupo. Claskey Casupo?

Yeah, and they kind of say it, but it's hard to hear it. Oh, do they really? Yeah, I'll play it again. You can, it's really hard. hard to hear it. That right there. Oh, wow. Yeah.

That might as well be green needle. And it's just chaos. It's like the, it's like the skibbitty toilet of the day. It was just ridiculous. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

Here is another one for you. Wow. This one's burned into my head. Is it really? Okay. It's not burned into mine, which makes me think it's something that you watch a lot of that I don't. I'm going to say Mike Judge Productions.

Let's find out if that's it, is it? Cartoon Network is the correct answer. Cartoon Network, okay. All right. And they still use a version of that today. Do they really? Maybe if I saw the visuals on that one, but man, the audio does nothing for me. That does not sound familiar at all.

And it was about, oh gosh, 99 or so, that changed. And then it's kind of been pretty consistent since. All right. Here is, this one I didn't know, but so don't feel bad if you don't get this right. I also know no shows that are produced by it, but this was one that was in the list. So here you go. Is that bien, d'u? Hi.

Again, do not feel bad. I will say, telemundo, no, let's say Robert Rodriguez Studios. That's such a good guess, dude. That's actually a really good guess. Because the Spanish and the gunfire feels like it would just be. yeah that's actually really good uh i would uh so this is a hard one it's gary sanchise productions which is uh will feral's joint oh is it really okay so you'll see things produced by him here and there that are that are him and whoever his partner is i forget who it is no longer that movie guy

i always think of the um yeah i was think of the guy that has the sombreros at the end of every episode oh yeah i didn't do that one but i love that one yeah that's um who is that i know different Different people wearing the sombrero every single, every single title card. It's at the end of the... It's something like Sanchez, isn't it? My name is Earl Guy. Yeah. Is that who that has that?

Yeah, that's him. And he says something different every time maybe? Like it's a... Is it one of those? Oh, really? Like where they change the audio? I know they change the photo is always different. Maybe that's what I'm thinking.

Yeah. I would clearly not do very good at this, my own quiz here. All right. How about this one? This one is, again, it's close to my heart. but this may vary depending on what you watched in the 90s. Sure. It's one of my favorites.

I love it. Very specific to a very specific thing. Is it robot? I'm going to say the show, robot chicken. I'm not going to, that's, you know, obviously a Seth Green deal. but um so you think robot chicken is that correct or do we get a half point no it is the it is dick house productions dick house okay the uh the production company that did uh the um jackass series oh okay yeah didn't watch a lot of that and yeah yeah i was a huge jackass fan i couldn't get enough of it uh all right

here's one that you probably will get if i had to guess okay so here we go yeah that is what the hell is that that is uh it's one that's just like it's yeah you know it right it's just i know it i could have sung along to it and and did conduct along to it but what the heck is it it's um uh uh and you can do a show for half point if you don't know yeah i don't even know if i'm going to be able to do that geez this one will drive me nuts once you hear it it totally will um god got nothing can't even come up with a guess All right, your answer. Yep.

The answer is Stephen Botchco Productions. Bocco, you know, it's funny, I was thinking Stephen J. Connell, and I know the, but I know the music for Stephen J. Cannell, and that's obviously not it. Similar era, though, right? The crossover. Similar era, yeah, definitely had some crossover. Bocco, so that was your NYPD Blue and your cop rock, you know, every episode of cop rock that I watched. Oh, my gosh, that's right. But he also did what, like the, who was the young, I can't think of it.

Oh, Dugie Houser, he did that. He did Hill Street Blues. All that stuff. All right. Here is, oh, my gosh, cop rock, dude. It's just amazing that a show like coprock couldn't make it. How is that possible? Freaking, that train went off the tracks.

I'll tell you that. All right. Next to last question. Here you go. Okay. if I'm not mistaken, is Stephen Kennell, and it's the typewriter paper going, you're forming the C.

Let's see what the judges say. Congratulations. You've nailed it. The fun part of that was juxtaposing it. I'll admit, I moved it up just now to throw you a little because you thought that last one was similar. And I thought,

well, if I put that right now, that may be able to hear how not similar it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then finally, I feel like this one's a given, but we'll see how you do. Oh, okay. That's the extended bad robot, isn't it? Bad robot.

Correct. Yeah, yeah. You did it. You nailed it. That's exactly it. That's the long, yeah, the long version. And the end of it has him say, bad robot. Yeah, but I cut that out. There's some lady whispering it. That's not it. It was some lady whispering. Bad robot. It's not what I expected. I thought it was a dude, but it's a lady who whispered. Is it really?

Yeah. It was funky. I didn't keep the whole thing, but because I knew that would give it away. If I played that part. Yeah, well, yes, exactly. I was waiting for. That's what I was waiting for. So let's see.

Out of, what do we get here? What's my total? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Out of twelve, you got. let's see one two three four five and a half not bad not bad not bad i think that's all right not great i was listening waiting for uh castle rock oh yeah castle rock just has the like one chime right is the yeah and sometimes they don't even do it like uh the end of king of the hill they just have a king of the hill line yeah and seinfeld yeah they'll do what's the um oh what's the one that space ghosts uses like all a lot

the adult swim stuff has that paper house paper house or something something uh it's like paper street warehouse paper street something street something street how dirty house street i'm gonna find it yeah yeah because it does that gong it's like a foggy coastal yes yes warehouse or something like that let's see adult swim logo all right ah not history and and big thanks to stepney in a pets who found It was Shernan Entertainment. I'll put it in our Discord right there. Oh, nice. That is the logo that when you shine light through the different ways,

you get the C or the E. And I just love... Oh, that one is good. Yeah, that's so cool. Like, it makes me want to design stuff like that and 3D printing. Yeah, that's awesome. That's actually really cool. I cannot find the name of...

Oh, here it is. Paper Street? William Street. There it is. William Street. Really? Yeah, here I'll play it. There it is.

That's it right there. Okay. It's kind of a creepy logo. It is creepy, yeah. Especially for something like space goes coast to coast, which was, you know, so lighthearted and fun and goofy. Fucking jacked up, man. All right. Well done, Brian.

You did it. That was super fun to put together. That was fun. That was good. Yeah, more of those later. But now, it's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by Cover. yeah today or this week van morrison turns 80 years old so of course we got to do a van morrison

episode your favorite songs by van morrison including stuff like brown-eyed girl crazy love moon dance into the mystic tuplow honey cold cold cold heart and it's stoneby wild night bright side of the road jackie wilson said them yeah there's so many damn good songs by van morrison do do do do do do do anyway uh all that Van Morrison. Irish guy who hates performing live, if I remember correctly, does not like being on stage. Yeah. We saw him at Red Rocks and put on an incredible show music-wise and vocal. Guy sounds absolutely amazing.

No interaction with the audience. So no like, hey, this one, you know, I wrote this one back when I was da-da-da-da. Or here's one that here's a song about this or anything like that. Not even like a, hey, Colorado. how you doing tonight? None of that. None of that. Weird. And then last song,

thank you, walks off the stage, house lights come up. No encores, no nothing. And it's not like, not like the crowd wasn't going wild. I mean, this is freaking Van Morrison. And Red Rocks is on fire with people cheering and loving the show. And he's

like, thank you, walks out the stage, house lights up. You know, there's something about that I kind of admire because you still draw crowds, yet you don't like that at all. Yeah. I'm not saying I'd rather him not do it. I'm saying, sure. I get, when you're that opposed to like crowds, you don't like him, they free, whatever his reasons are. Maybe it's crazy anxiety. I don't know what his problems are.

Sure. Which I'm sure is the case. Which is probably it, which is a really hard thing to deal with. If you can still, your music genius is still strong enough that people flock to it, even though you're barely there. That's wild to me. It is. And, you know, but it, it, it, the question, well, could I just listen to a live album with really good headphones? Oh, yeah. Because I'm not going to get a unique experience. Yeah, as a person going, I don't want that for sure. Yeah.

I would much, I'd just stay home and go, well, if you're not going to even interact, why am I fighting these crowds and parking and everything else? Okay. So at the end of Nerdtacular, you heard it here, folks. Scott's going to go, thanks, bye. No, I'm not doing that. No, I'm agreeing with you. I'm agreeing with you.

I'm saying, if I went to that concert, I would be, I would feel like I got ripped off. Yeah. But I'm also not a gigantic fan. But as an artist, you're, right, exactly. Yes. But as an artist, you kind of admire that. Like the, the, the tenacity and the ability, like the, the draw power to pull a

crowd and still do that. Yeah. I don't know how you do it. Like, how do you even do a concert tour? That's just nuts to me. All right. Let's get to the story here. Speaking of music, we got some music for you.

More music news. Composer John Williams says he never liked film music very much. Oh, really? Yeah. John Williams, the greatest film composer of all time. Yeah, no kidding. He says he's written some of the most memorable music in cinema history, such masterpieces as Jaws, Jurassic Park, Star Wars.

A little known best thing he ever did, Jurassic Park's theme. Why isn't that in there? I don't know. Well, no, Jurassic Park was the middle one. Oh, it was the middle one. I was so dead set on being mad it wasn't there that I. I know, exactly. Yeah.

It's a Bulldog. from Frasier. Oh, I can't believe it. What the heck. Just, just, oh, wait, it's right here. Yeah, it's right here in front of me. I love that guy. He was great. He was great.

He was so, that guy had, you know, he was a one, he was a one joke character, but it was a very well done one joke. It was always funny. He was, I loved every time he came on. He wasn't used enough. I love that guy. Yeah. Seam and things still.

He's like much older now, but he still shows up and stuff. That's good. Yeah. Oh, yesterday Kim was watching an episode of. of the mentalist. She's super into that right now. And lo and behold, there's a scene they're all walking around

and who should just show up without a speaking role. It's just in a cop uniform, but it was freaking Jeff Conado from our old pal Jeff just standing there looking like a cop opening up, he held up one of the police tapes and let a guy through, locked it

and the camera panned away and that was the whole thing. That's fantastic. We got to get him to an intertacular. He'll be, he can fill one of the teams one of the all-star teams that'd be cool he was there in 2015 did we have him play in 2015 we did have him play in 2015 at him and um world of warcraft composer um russell brower russell brower yeah not know he i didn't know jeff played i thought they left early or went home

oh did he no um uh other uh who's your other buddy from world warcraft the one that just uh Metzen? He came and had to leave early. Yeah, he did. He did have to leave. I don't remember. I thought I had Jeff Kinnat up on stage. Maybe not.

That was the same year, too. I don't know. Yeah. I can't remember. My brain is half on. Sure. Anyway, despite winning five Oscars, the 93-year-old believes as an art form,

film music, pale in comparison to history's great works. He says, quote, I never liked film music very much. He confessed in a rare interview in a forthcoming biography. He added film music, however, however good it can be, and it usually isn't, other than maybe an eight-minute stretch here and there, I think that the music isn't there.

That, what we think of as precious great film music is we're remembering in some kind of nostalgic way. He went on to say, just the idea that film music has the same place in a concert hall as the best music in the canon is a mistaken notion, I think. You know, I mean, okay, for someone his age who was inspired by the greats, you know, Bach Brahms, Beethoven, whoever, I could see his perspective on that being like, no, you know, these are the guys that I considered masters, my stuff, or any film music doesn't compare to them. But we're kind of in the new, you know, the new, the new generation sees that stuff as our, it's our, it's our. It's our classical music. I mean, obviously there's classical music, and we're still aware of that, and it still exists.

But, you know, Vader's theme, like you said, the Jurassic Park theme, the Indiana Jones, da-da-da-da-da, like all that stuff is so important to us, as important to us as the Beethoven's unfinished or his ninth symphony or whatever. Yeah, I agree. I think on the opposite side of that, Rufus DeCat in the chat says, what a dumbass. I don't know. Maybe that's a little far to take it. Like I think John Williams is entitled to his musical opinions, and it's totally fine.

Like, it doesn't take anything away from it. I don't think I'd call him a dumb ass, though. This might be a little harsh. Lorraine says, but it's tied to the movies. I'd see those things I can listen to outside of the movies. And maybe, yeah, maybe I do think of the movies when I hear it. have been soundtracks that I've gotten that I've listened to before the movie came out and really enjoyed and gravitated towards before I had any sort of visual component to tie it to.

Yeah. Patrick's asking if the music was always used for film or did he create it outside of that and then it was used for film. He always did these. The scores we think of, they're all hired to do for the film. Yeah. I know he's done some stuff outside of it, but I don't know of any of it. but like you know video i think video game scores are the new version of this for me i think they're incredible there's some stuff out there i was playing pre-show today a bunch of old world of warcraft music this stuff is timeless and amazing and stands on its own even if you've never played the games it sounds incredible so i think he's he's probably right that there's a nostalgic connection that's impossible to kind of peel away from it especially in his case

because the movies he also is tied to some incredible films right it's hard to he absolutely is he didn't really make any crap that i know of except maybe crystal skull i suppose but it's not his fault yeah um yeah but yeah i think i think he's underselling himself i think he's you know he's a master and this is the era he lives in so this is what he mastered sure yeah you still haven't seen dial a destiny have you still haven't i want to yeah i'm not avoiding it can yeah it's right there It's up on the Disney Plus. It's right there. Disney Plus, yeah, right there. Like about four other movies behind on.

At least. Yeah. I'm over here finding an old Mike Judge shit from the 2018. Well, and that's some good shit. I watched some of the Johnny paycheck thing last night. And it's great, isn't it? It's really good stuff. Yeah.

I want that show to keep going and just keep dig deep into these things. He clearly has a passion for it. Totally does. Oh, I love it. I want to watch it again. That's the other thing is I think it's kind of rewatchable because the animation stuff, makes it weirdly rewatchable.

It's weird. It does. Yeah. Yeah. And what musical genre? Because he's not going to tackle anything as polished as new wave. Like funk and old countries got that nice little grungy edge that works so well with his style. Crappy bars and terrible venues.

And, you know, you're not going to do a Taylor Swift era's tour behind the scenes. But like a, you know, like a 70s classic rock. But not talking about the biggies like the Who and Zeppelin and stones and stuff like that. But talking about some of the lesser-knowns might be cool. The best part of that, Johnny, where one of the parts I liked in the Johnny Paycheck thing was him down on his luck.

And he tried to get Johnny Cash to bail him out. And Johnny Cash was like, no, hung up the phone. I'm not doing this. I think that's in the first five minutes, I think. It's a pretty early, yeah. It was great. And they animate it. So it's Johnny Cash on a phone.

phone just looking straight ahead and then just clank and banging it up absolutely loving that thing so good yeah all right let's see japanese city in the news okay we love the japanese we do you know they're great other than that war thing is it's been great i'd happily uproot and live there if i could yeah they don't like it when we do that but you know they don't they really don't but uh t and i really enjoyed our time there oh yeah easily one of the places in the world if you said, hey, you have to move. Where are you going to go? I would either pick Japan, Netherlands, or, oh, gosh.

London would be a good one for me. Like I'd love just ditching the car, seeing all the bands that I grew up with that are still performing. Tube everywhere. The pub scene. You'd love it. Yeah, I'd love it. Yeah, that's a Brian Abbott thing for sure. I think I'd do okay there too.

I think I would have to. I have this problem, though, where I have. I always want to live either right in the middle of the busiest part of somewhere or in the least busy place possible. I don't like anything in between. So give me some sort of like ridiculously only the queen can afford it, place at the top of some building. Right.

Or I want to be in the English countryside somewhere way out there. Interesting. Yeah. Sure. Both of those have appeal for me. Anyway, Japanese city. And again, since the war, loving the Japanese. Great stuff coming out of there. Right.

Love them. it's really that war bit don't mention the war it was the only part that was trouble the Japanese city proposes two hour daily limit for smartphone use oh I love it I wish I wish this could really be a thing there's no way it's going to work just can't work but the city of to toyoki

toyokai toyoko Toyoaka toyoake in the Achi Prefecture will urge That's different than make, but urge all smartphone listeners, or users, rather, to limit screen time to two hours a day outside of work or school under a proposed ordinance that includes no penalties. Because how are you going to enforce this? We'd like you to limit your phone use to two hours a day.

We basically, we're taking away screens. You know, let's have ourselves a nice dinner. No screens at the table. No screens, everybody. Put them down. The limit, which we, sorry, will be recommended for all residents of the city, will not be binding. and there will be no penalties incurred for higher usage, according to the draft ordinance. The proposal aims to, quote, prevent excessive use of devices,

causing physical and mental health issues, including sleep problems, according to the mayor, Massafumi, Koki. Sure. Maybe, maybe Koki. No, that's what I would say, yeah, Massafumi Koki. Said in a statement on Friday, the draft urges elementary students to avoid using smart phones after 9 p.m. and advises junior high students to, or sorry, and those older not to use them after 10 p.m.

The move prompted an online backlash with many calling the plan unrealistic. Well, yeah, but they're not going to force you. It's just like, hey, everybody, can you be better about your phone use? I'm actually okay with that, you know? Yeah. I'm not saying, if you're going to tell people what to do, that's a problem. But if you're going to say, here's a good idea, maybe do that. Kind of like when you say, hey, today's don't eat bacon day.

So celebrate by not eating bacon. Well, some people are still going to eat bacon. Why are you got to pick on Zoe? But that's my point. That's my point. She doesn't have to adhere to this thing is there's no penalties in doing it. You know what I mean?

Right. But for the rest of us, they need to cut back on our bacon. Maybe we can eat one less piece, you know? What the city, like they need to figure out the way to, um,

obviously, you know, helps with sleep and, and mental health issues, the whole like, um, Facebook envy and all that stuff. But they need,

it needs to not come from the city. It needs to come from a more, a governing body that's closer to, you know, the Department of Health, whatever the, whatever the Japanese equivalent of the Department of Health would be, that's where it needs to come from and not from, okay, as mayor, uh, please less phone use and I'm going to fix the roads. I guess that would make it, though, that would end up having to be a national thing, though,

right, if it was coming from their health department. Yeah, if it's Department of Health, yeah, because it's not like each city has their own, or prefecture has their own department of health. I wish we had prefectures. That's cool. It is, right? Yeah. Sounds cool. Sounds so or neat. Oh, man, I really want to go to Crave Burger, but it's over in another prefecture.

Yeah. I love that. That's just right to me. That and there's other versions of this. I know it's province up in Canada. Townships are nice. Oh, townships are great. What is Rhode Island?

There's a couple places on the East Coast that have, are those townships? There's another word that they use for. they're like little island type things or parishes oh parishes in louisiana is oh yeah mississippi and uh louisiana and parts of albama you can say parish yeah what is um do like parishes parishes is good yeah villages yeah sort of it's villages are all right i guess in the u jersey's townships maybe it is townships that that i love these alternate terms states are boring oh commonwealth thank you yes oh i thought the commonwealth was all of Like, Rhode Island is a commonwealth, isn't it?

Oh. I thought the whole thing was like Boston, or not Boston, sorry, Massachusetts. I thought the common, basically the New England Patriots are the Commonwealth's team. No? Oh, because they're in New England as opposed to a specific state. I thought that was it. Burrow? Maybe Burroughs is what I'm thinking of.

That's more New York kind of thing. Yeah, New York has there seven boroughs, six boroughs? What is it? Yeah. Whatever it is. You can't really add a new borough, can you? let's see yeah the four states is commonwealth or kentucky massachusetts pennsylvania virginia so not quite what i'm thinking maybe maybe it is townships maybe it's like um uh we should

call them covervilles do that sure sure i like that are you willing to give the name up for a little bit of uh you know do i get something to return yeah you get taxes percentage of taxes on everything oh i see what you're saying i was thinking i get a little you know come and give me a little bit of dash oh i like Dosh. Throw a little Dosh my way. I love that term too. I do too. Can we swap out some words? It just makes things fun again. You know? Yeah. Like here it's states

and counties. I want I want prefectures and Commonwealths. Commonwealth. Or townships. Prefectures and townships. Yeah. And we want money to be called Dosh. Yeah. I want part. When I go through Park City, I want to go through the township of

Park City. I love it. I mean, There's nothing. People will understand what we're saying. Like, oh, yes, I, I was stuck in the township of Highlands Ranch the other day. Yeah. People know what we're saying. People understand it. So, you know. Yeah. They know what we mean. And that's all that matters. That's all that matters. Well, the good news is Japan, this town is going to, boy, they're going to cut down on the phone use. It sounds like maybe. Yeah. Probably not really. Good luck to him. Shut off the, we're going to shut off the Wi-Fi at 10 p.m. That's right. Get ready. Better get all you want before. for them. Good news, everyone. It's time for a favorite thing we do here on the show.

They knew people in there and stuff. Minneapolis, wow. That's so, that one's so freaking heartbreaking just because of. You know, for a country that thinks it can do anything it wants to, you sure think we could figure out how to do that. you think you'd think but uh it just takes some collective will and we don't have that exactly um

Yes. And if he dies in the next few days, it wasn't our fault that we brought him up. Oh, geez. It's not our fault.

It's not our fault. Oh, that one's going to kill me right there. Pure happenstance if that happens. And also that would be, that's a rough one. That dude defined comedy for me for about 10 years of my youth. Like there was nothing funnier than Monty Python and him in particular. I can right now hang up on you in the show. Everything just hang up.

Oh great Did you No I'm not I'm not Why does it sound like There's more people around you Yeah what Are you in a communal toilet

Oh shit she hung up Claire Click again. Sorry. She's laughed so hard. She hung up. Are we sure she's Claire? She's not drinking anymore, right? No, she's not drinking anymore, but she's, she's California sober. Oh. Oh, is that a term? I hadn't heard that before. What does that mean?

That means no alcohol just pot. Oh, okay. Fair enough. There she is. Hi, Claire. Hello. Are you there? I'm in the car, but it probably sounds like the toilet. It sounds pretty, yeah, it sounds toilety. Where do you, I hear in Ireland, you can, your car can be your toilet. Hey, I, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, yes. Oh, please finish that sentence. Yeah, don't leave us hanging.

Please. I have taken a shit in my toilet, but in a nice little Tupperware, lined with a dog poo bag. Really? Wait, you've taken a, are you saying you've taken a shit in your car? You said you've taken a shit in your toilet. We kind of all have done that. We've all done that. Yeah.

Are you saying you've taken a shit in your car in a doggy bag? Yeah, so when I do car camping, which is when I, like, put an air mattress in the back of my car, pocket windows, and, you know, go park up somewhere, frickin' nice, and just, yeah, I bring a little Tupperware, and I have my dog poo bag, and it's in case of emergencies, because, you know, people be creepy, even if there's a toilet available just outside where I parked. Yeah, yeah, people, people be creepy, exactly. people. I'm sure it's them that's weird and not this girl pooping in her car.

Also, don't use Claire's Tupperware. Yeah, don't ever use Claire's Tupperware. If Claire shows up to your house and she's got like Irish pickles or whatever and she's got a Tupperware thing, do not take it. No, no, no, no. Well, first of all, the thing that I used was like one of these little like vacuum seal, you know, one of those like little

you flick a thing and then it like Yeah, it's like a zip lock. Yeah. No, no. I'm not a Ziplot bag. Oh, goodness. Really touched a nerve on that one. All right. What do you call it over there?

No, but, anyway, I used to use it as my food waste bucket thing, and now it's in the bin because the zip lock. No, not the zip lock, but anyway, listen to my voicemail is what I'm calling about. Oh, yeah. I left you a nice two-minute, succinct thing on the solution that I was willing to build for you. Oh, right. She's making, yeah. Yeah, the little timer. She's good with the formulas.

She is good. You are good with the formulas. I will think differently about your formulas and what you might be doing while you're writing them. But, yeah, no, I just haven't a time yet. I just haven't a time, but I'm going to do it soon. Be safe. Don't drive weird. All right, bye.

Too late. That was probably the most Claire call that Claire has ever made. And it's interesting to see that she's now on the moon. Yeah. You know, sounds great. Sounds really good. Yeah, the lack of lag. I mean, the sound quality, we expect that from the moon.

But the lack of lag was impressive. Yeah, boy. Let's get in. Let's see who else we got out here. I hear that Ziploc was such an exposed nerve for Claire. Yeah. Also, I'm trying. trying to think. What do I have? If I'm in a long ride, drive, you know what, if I'm driving

somewhere far, maybe it's because I live in the West. You and I live out in the desert. We kind of can, there's lots of land. So if we're on a road trip, I'm not doing a bag. I'm going out into the bush over there. Exactly. You bring a, you bring a shovel, you dig a hole, you're poop in the hole, you cover it up. Unless you're, unless you're Francis McDormand, you stop off of the Home Depot and pick up a plastic bucket. But otherwise, you know. Yeah. These are the things we do. Amy, are you there? I see Amy's here. Hello, Amy. Hello. Hi, how are you? Me? I'm sorry. I haven't used my voice yet today, so I was all froggy in my throat there. How are y'all? We're good. You and Chuck do sign language for the first couple hours of the day, right? You know what? Chuck has had to go back to an in-office

job, so I am by myself. I forgot about that. Yeah, well, look, it's then it's a heart, absence, Fonder, all that stuff, right? Exactly, exactly. He gets, you know, his loving wife throwing her arms open to hug him and welcome him back home every day. Dinner on the table with an apron. What a good treadwife, you, uh, do you hug him with a puppet on each hand? You like put puppets on and just hug him with two puppets. That's what I would do every day.

You know, it's funny you mentioned puppets because I'm like currently ankle deep in packaging up puppets to take Dragon Con. yeah yeah you excited you're getting pumped you know I want to be I want to be excited I'm just so I'm so tired I'm like kind of like I don't know I think I'll be excited once I actually get there but right now I'm at home and just packing and I hate packing I hate packing for anything because I always it's like just anxiety-inducing I'm with you I don't like packing for short stuff I'm supposed to leave this weekend for a weekend not that far from home.

We're staying at a place. We always stay for most of our anniversaries. Totally stoked about it. But I'm like, I still have to pack for like two and a half days. And I'm dreading it. I hate it. Yeah.

Yeah. I hate it because it's always like either I weigh over pack or I have, I will have forgotten something like, and I'll get there and be like, oh man, I wish I had this shirt right now. Like I wish I had, you know, like, I don't know. Like, I always have enough stocks and under. Because I don't even, that's a no-brainer, right? I just, like, literally grab all of it and throw it in the bag.

But especially for DragonCon, because it is hot. It's only, you know, it's only four days, but it is so hot down here that, like, yeah, multiple changes of underwear and socks every day. That's probably the other reason you're tired is just knowing how much heat you're going to have to deal with. Brian, do you like to, yeah, that's the worst is that you've got to, like, for me, it's multiple shirts per day because of the heat. Yeah. So, it's like, all right, I'm going to hang.

I'm going to hang this shirt up over the shower curtain rod and let that one dry while I put on a new shirt. Yeah, like a whole carry-on just for underwear. Brian, you like me, though? I have my problem is I don't know which electronics to leave or which ones to take. I know. Yeah.

It's like, all right, which portable game system do I think I'm going to want more while I'm there? Yeah, honestly, it's a fight between my Steam deck and my Switch 2, and I don't know which one I want yet. I've got, like, do I bring my iPad because I want to do some quiet drawing, probably. Do I bring my notebook because I might have to do a little bit of work from there? Maybe.

Do I take this giant computer bag I just bought and just shove it all in there? Probably. I don't know. I'm sure Kim loves that on this romantic trip. Yeah. Then you feel silly, right? Because then you're on like this three, two and a half three day trip and you've packed like everything. You know.

Yeah. And then you're annoyed because like we went to our for TMS Vegas this year. I brought my steam deck. I didn't take it out. of the bag the whole time because we never do, because we're busy, we have stuff to do. Vegas, you never, it feels

like you never have like, just like, here's 15 minutes in the hotel room to do whatever I want. No, it is like, oh my God, we're already late for this thing. We better get out the door. Oh, they're waiting for us to go get food. We need to get outside really quick. It's almost like I just want to risk having things stolen or lost. That's the reason I take

them. Tina has a rule that if I bring something, I have to use it. Like if I take, if I I bring my cool little funky electronic gadget that does like these cool, like follows me around for photos or video or whatever or takes cool stitched photos together for like a big panorama, then I have to use it. So when we went to Ireland, it's like, okay, today I'm taking this thing with me. That's going to go get used.

Yeah, that's the way to do it. Team, that's a good rule, actually. It is a good rule. Yeah. I'm going to tell Kim that I need to impose similar rules. Well, that's great. I hope you have a good time. Make sure you see, you know, Travis while you're there and all that.

Oh, yeah. I have his panel on the, on the, on the old schedule there. And he and I have, have, you know, friended up on the DragonCon app and all that. So we should be able to at least get a picture. I'm excited. I'll tell you one thing I am super excited about. Bill's a bender head car thing. Where, like, the area that he's going to be in for that is.

like adjacent to where the puppet track is. So I'm going to be hanging out there watching him drive that bender around in the atrium like the whole time. And I'm really, really excited about it. That is two, hold on. No, I'm sorry, three, that's three Tuesday people. I know, I know. If we could, if Dan, if it was only possible to get Dan there for some reason.

Right. And there's no reason why Dan shouldn't come to Dragon Con. There's a huge table top track. Yeah. And people could probably use some pharmaceuticals. Yeah. You know, I'm sure he's walking around with meth and his,

or not meth. Well, we now have a new opening for Tuesdays if anybody's, I just told on Dan. He's my dealer. All right. Well, that's awesome,

dude. I hope you have a great time, but also I hope it's just not too exhausting. And you guys be safe. Have fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm planning to map a lot. Yeah. And send us lots of, you know, pictures and stuff. Oh, yes. definitely yes yeah i will i'll do a whole photo dump in the in the discord sweet do it in a bag

if you have a way to do it walk from one you know there's the four host hotels you can get all between them with just the tunnels and stuff do a do a do a time lapse not time lapse a video but a high speed video going through the whole place and seeing going from one end to the other which is i know like a two hour a two hour commitment or whatever it is yep challenge accepted i will do that oh my god that sounds like so much fun that would be such a great video and we will post it and share the heck out of it, put a good soundtrack behind it. I think it would be so cool. Yeah, that'd be awesome.

Awesome. I love this. I love this plan. I'm excited to be a part of it. All right. Don't eat any weird hot dogs while you're there. All right. I'll see you soon.

All right. Now I think we have Josh. Let's see. We do have Josh. Josh, are you there? Can you hear me this? We can. Hello?

How are you? All right. Pretty good. I tried it from my phone the first time and it didn't work. So I ran back into my computer. Oh, no worries. Yeah, sometimes certain browsers and also if other stuff happens on your phone, like if it goes to sleep or whatever, you kind of lose the connection. It's kind of dumb. But you're here now and that's the important thing. What's going on up there? How's Chip Theory this morning? You guys doing all right. Everyone hanging in there. You guys are all right. You guys are probably still recovering from the trade show. Yeah. Right now it's kind of the calm before the storm because hopefully next week we have any other container coming in of our next big fulfillment that we're doing. Oh, cool. Is this the new 20, strong um

druid edition or something tanglewoods that's it yeah visualizing druids tell us um tell us more about what's going on with all that that's it's fascinating to get an inside look at a place that's actually making these games we play yeah so i'm i'm waiting on word from the trucking company right now

that that so i can set up the truck to come in but those things come in and they're nothing's on a palette they're stacked from the top to the bottom just all games so we have to go in and like uh hand take everything out um but yes this one coming in is tanglewoods it's our next 20 strong one so it's um brian don't you have uh dice throne i do have dice thrown yeah so manny the artist for dice throne did all the art for tangle woods Oh, cool. Okay, yeah, that's so cool. That's awesome.

Yeah, I see it now. I didn't know you guys were the ones doing, you guys are doing the Elder Scrolls game that's like got everybody all up in a pinch. That's awesome. Oh, yeah. I didn't know that. I just sent that to Dan last week, so he's probably digging into it. Oh, he's been, he was raving about this from DragonCon, or sorry, JenCon. He thought this was the coolest thing and the reviews are off the charts.

People are losing their minds over this thing. I did not know you guys were doing that. That's great. That's cool. So Tanglewood's this one. Yeah, he's not by the booth at J-Con. And we got to talk for a while. And, of course, you know, we both started rambling.

And it's like, all right, I only got five minutes to talk. And then 20 minutes later, we're still talking. Did you give you any drugs? No. Okay. Well, you know, he doesn't always do it. Well, that's great. You know, this is a big, this is going to be another big weekend for me with board games

because we're doing our second Marvel, well, might not be all Marvel. because I've got this game, this aliens, another glorious day and the core game that I think we want to play. But eight hours of board games at this pub that looks like an RPG tavern. Oh, that one you did last time. That's so cool. Yeah, yeah. And also the way they...

I got a buddy coming in from Indiana that we're going to play games all weekend. Nice. Do you ever, like, because you're involved in it so heavily and you're so directly involved with all of this and the, you know, production and logistics of it all, Do you ever want to have a weekend where you're just like, I don't want to see a board game or a card game? We definitely play less board games now than we did when we both worked for the company. Yeah, I could imagine.

We'd still buy the same amount. Do you do something nice for your wife for a birthday? What'd you do? Yep, I got her some flowers and stuff, and she wanted to go to red lobster because up here in Minnesota, there's not as many red lobsters as there in Ohio. So I found one, and we drove out to it and went there to eat. well they they closed many of them out here so it must it's a it's now a special treat to go to a red lobster because they close so many of them down uh well that's awesome dude have one more game oh please tell us what do you got um on our site it's it's coming in on the same truck and it's up for pre-order right now and we'll be shipping and starting next week but it's called fight five fight five it is a it's it's from manny also the same guy from a dice throne okay but it's his it's his take on on Dice Thrones kind of his take on Yatsi, and this is his take on war. So instead of having a deck of cards and you flip it over, everybody has the same deck of cards, the same numbers, and you shuffle them.

And then there's going to be a bunch of piles of cards in between, whether you're playing two, up to five players, and you're going to be, like, kind of warring for each of those piles every turn. It's a fun, quick, like, party game, and it's, it's a super. super fun. Yeah, dude. It's cool. Totally up my alley. I have to check this out. This is just coming in. This is a new, right? Yeah. We have a couple copies right now, but there's going to be a bunch on the truck. So if you pre-ordered, it should be shipping in the next couple weeks, a week or two. Go check it out. Chip Theory Games.com. You'll find all this stuff. They have amazing selection. I didn't know that Ellers Girl's thing was coming out of you guys. That's like the hit of the year, that game. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. That's really awesome. Well, well, well, done, man. I'm glad we got you on. I was afraid we weren't going to hear from you, but I'm glad. I'm glad. it worked out and uh yeah thanks for getting me in you bet tell everyone to keep those theories about chips coming and we'll talk to you soon uh all right brian we that that was call now that was call now lots of fun lots of diversity in our calls today i like that you know i like when it's not the same the sTP the same 10 people that's right we have a claire then we wash that out

with somebody else it was nice to have just a mix you know yep anyway it's good to have you all doing that. Thank you so much for that. Quick email before we go. Cool. Clondike Pony pal wrote this one. I'm going to just do the second one. Okay. All right. Oh, you know what? This other one's short enough. We can probably answer it. Scott, how come you don't call Brian Bri. This is from Elvis Planter is his name. How can you don't call Brian Brie? That seems like the natural thing to do. I don't know. The same reason I don't say bro to people who are like my brother. I don't know. Yeah, that's funny. I don't know. I'd be fine with it.

Bri-Bri is the only, well, and I don't even have a problem with Bri-Bri-Bri, but my mom does. And when my kindergarten teacher started calling me Bri-Bri, and she find out about it, she marched herself down to the school and said, his name is Brian. You call him Brian. Oh, my gosh. That's a, that was serious. Yeah. You didn't mind it, but she had an issue there. I didn't care about it.

Yeah, Proto-Caron, my mom. No, I'm just kidding. But she would like to talk to your manager. Yeah, early model of the, of the Karen. Yeah, so feel free to call me brie, bri, bribe, B. You're pretty easy. I'm really easy when it comes to that. Just don't call me Byron.

Yeah. Brain. But I wouldn't, I don't. No one, people spell it. No one ever calls me, I guess it depends on how many syllables. So no one calls me SCO, but I only have one syllable in my name. So it's not hard. So it's not like you need to shorten it further.

But you probably don't get a lot of Scotty's. Hey, Scotty. My mom, my brother, Mark, and. that's it that's the only people ever call me that yeah yeah i don't get that very often but so i'm already a shortened name if you think about it scotty's the long one you know that's right you know you know what i'm saying yes yes all right here's the real one from klondike pony pal okay all right you guys in your names what's going on dike pony pal it sounds like something like a i don't know like an ice cream treat it does what would you do for a klondike pony pal exactly go to the seven

been loving and buy one. Scorch and burn. You guys talk sometimes about how sunburned you get. Oh, that's funny. I forgot. We talked about it earlier today. What was the worst time

that I ever happened to you? It was an easy answer for me. In 2004, we went to a family reunion in Bear Lake, beautiful place, but in the middle of summer, very, very hot, lots of sun. My feet, because I wore flip-flops, the exposed part of my feet

with the flip-flops, that is, got so burned that it took almost a decade, and I'm not kidding. A decade for, so two, what's a decade? 2014. 10 years. No, I mean I was trying to forget the year. Oh, okay. So it was about 2014, late 2013 that it's finally started to fade. Oh my God. That's how bad it was. So I had like these almost purple skin. It was clearly damaged, right? Damaged my skin. Purple skin except for the little Y from the the thong part, or we used to call them thongs. The flip flop part. Yeah, the flip fly. Yeah. The flip fly.

the part that covers and it's still to this day there's maybe just like a little hue to it really oh my god just barely yeah so how about you what was your your most egregious thing the one that uh the one that comes to mind it was a trip to glenwood springs which is a couple hours west of denver they've got a great hot springs pool giant giant swimming pool um with water slides and uh things like that they have to have to cool down the hot springs to be to allow people to get in it um Um, was there with my grandmother and my uncle, Uncle George, did not apply enough sunscreen.
