The morning stream. You're a freak and a cannibal. And you've come to the wrong town. Hello, everybody, and welcome to TMS. It is the morning stream for September 18th, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott, hi, Brian. Hello.

That was a jaunty paranoid. You like that? What's not. I assume it's German. It sounds German to me, but Bambi might be able to let us know for sure, but... Yeah, I like it. Yeah. I also been getting into these covers by fake Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I've been getting into those. Those are fun. Because they, of course... The lady, I know. Yeah. All that glitters is gold. They're all like that. And she can't do the chopper.

They're all exactly like that. And the choruses are him, like, yelling the way he would yell if he was yelling those choruses. It's fantastic. It's good stuff. It's a, well, you know what that reminds me of all of a sudden is the Dana Carvey. Do you remember the Dana Carvey sketch maybe if they were following the S&L deal, where it was Dana Carvey and, was it Stephen Colbert? No, it was, it was a Corel, Steve Carrell. Oh, Dana Carvey Show, that one?

The Danny Carvey Show. And it was a German, it was two guys saying polite. terms in German but you but but screaming them as if thank you for the lovely time at my birthday so like that yeah that show I don't know if you've ever seen the pilot or any of those things I watched yeah watched a whole bunch of them and I watched that um the greatest show never something whatever was a documentary about it too that was really good yeah it's underrated it's really funny and it should have gone on I don't know what happened we weren't ready for

or something i don't know what happened there yeah people weren't ready for dana carvey outside of s&l they just weren't ready exactly because they wanted they wanted him to come on and do the rush perro and the george bush and the church lady and be do do do and he's just like no i want a chance to spread my wings and do something else yeah that weird turtle movie he's in do you ever see that that was no i just uh i just remember the trailer and uh you guys keep threatening that we're going to have to do it for film sacks so i think at some point was at the um i forgot what it's called disguise or

yeah it's something like that the con disguise master of disguise master of disguise yeah it's a very bad movie but he gives it is all he does his best so yeah

I don't know we may get around to that one we'll see he was there was a movie but he was in with Mendelbaum Bridges Lloyd Bridges Lloyd Bridges and another guy

um was it was Spartacus dude wasn't it Anyway, where there's like the two of them as tough guys, I think it was the main movie was tough guys. Recent, or? No. Oh, it would have to be. We had Lloyd, Lloyd, because of Lloyd is dead now.

So, yeah. Yeah. I don't say Christopher Lloyd is dead. No, no, no. Don't say those words. Geez. Don't say those words out loud. Marty.

Lloyd Bridges, everybody. Okay. Tough guys. Dana Carvey. I don't know why it's not ringing a bell to me I don't know why was it that might have the wrong guys let's see Kirk Douglas and Bert Lancaster

old school not bridges okay yeah 1986 older than I thought it was but they play a couple guys getting out of prison and Dana Carvey is there is the guy who's trying to rehabilitate them at a society or something

oh tough it is tough guys it is oh I just found it okay here it is aging train robbers cannot get used to modern life after 30 years in jail and decide to do one last robbery on the same train that proved to be their downfall three decades earlier. Damn.

He was also in Blue Thunder, it says? Dana Carvey was. That's what it says. How can that be? No. Blue Thunder and Halloween 2? Are you kidding? That's obscure.

Wow. I guess this is all before he even got to SNL. Because that's an L happened, 80. Yeah, this, 86. Late 86. So he would have been, so I believe Danny Carvey is 70 years old. I know. I don't like that.

Holy crap. That's effed up. The whole point of that guy's existence is to be a baby face, kind of. Well, and he's like, I'm looking at it is the photo that comes up on Google. He looks like he's reverting back to cousin Oliver on the Brady Punch. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, he's still, you listen to him, though. He still sounds like Dana Carvey and hasn't lost a step. Yeah, it's pretty great. Well, all right, then. Let's move on to a big, big, big thing we're doing today. Yeah, you and I are both doing big things today. Yeah. I would argue yours is slightly bigger, given everybody kind of knows what I have to do today.

But yours is a big, big deal. In fact, let's play. I'm going to play something celebratory for it. Oh, gosh, all right. If you're going to really intimidate me with some music backup or fanfare. How about this? right here. We'll do it a combo of things. Here you go.

Okay, it's a big announcement from Brian Abbott. For that. Holy cow. So I'll set up several years ago. I bought the domain music mystery quiz because my plan was I was going to to create a website where I could post a puzzle

occasionally, maybe weekly or something. But it was all going to be like I was going to super disguise everything and have it sound like it came from a dude who lived upstairs from a record shop. And so basically he lived up there with four cats

in his little tiny apartment. And I just visualized this like hoarder house with a guy using like a compact a computer or something to develop these puzzles. Nice. And it was going to be, you know, this fictional dude who, who put up a puzzle a week that was music related.

He said, well, I, you know, they don't know, but I have a way to get down to the store downstairs. And so I get inspiration from looking at the records and the CDs and stuff. Yeah. So had all these dreams, got that domain. But it never really felt like the way I wanted to do it. Because what I was going to do is put up a few puzzles. And then say, come on TMS and say, have you heard about this music mystery quiz thing?

There's this guy. It lives upstairs from record store. That's how it was kind of get people to check it out. Sure. Is by being a meat puppet and really being the guy behind the guy. Love it. Well, gave up on that just because it just didn't feel like the right way I wanted to do things. And as you know, for the last 15 years.

I guess it's been. I've been doing going to Puzzle Pint with some friends here in Denver. Tina goes. Sometimes my Uncle George goes. And I love the format of you get a packet of puzzles. You're able to, you know, work on them on your own. Take your time. Do what if you want. There's no pressure of like, oh, you've got to get it done in this time to win. Competition kind of thing. But there's friendly competition. And then once you've solved those four puzzles, use that information. to do a fifth puzzle and um but what makes me sad is there's a whole bunch of places in the country where that's not available i always want like some sort of music themed version of that um and so i decided you know what i'm going to make my own i'm going to make it slightly different from the way they do things at puzzle pint well obviously it's not going to be in a bar sure it's going to be online um but i wanted a way to kind of create some some rock puzzles monthly to um to deliver to people and have it go like you know like you're a subscription service where people pay for my time in creating them. They get some camaraderie,

a Discord channel, stuff like that. But, you know, it just wanted a way for people who would enjoy solving rock puzzles monthly to have a place where they could solve rock puzzles monthly. So, happy to introduce rock puzzles monthly.com. This is the best way to introduce the URL you want people to remember. This is good. I like it. Exactly. Rock puzzles monthly.com is the website. There's a place where you can sign up for to get notified when we go live. It's going to be a Patreon thing where you pay X amount per month. You'll get five, technically five puzzles. And right now I'm thinking five bucks is a fair like five bucks, five puzzles.

You get five puzzles, four of which lead you to the answer of the fifth. And I'm trying to decide if I want to make it. So you enter in the answers to the four puzzles onto a secret page on the site. and then you're automatically given the fifth puzzle. But there's a place to sign up. You get notified when we go live on Patreon. It's completely privacy policyed. I wrote a privacy policy this morning

and make sure people know that I'm not doing anything with your information. When you sign up at Rock Puzzles Monthly, I'm not doing anything with your information except getting you a sample puzzle and letting you know when we go live.

Um, like Puzzled Pint, you are able to Google. you have fun with this and not feel the pressure of like, well, I don't know half of these answers. I don't know what Jupiter's fourth moon is. Well, that's what the internet is for.

And if I can use outside sources to create these puzzles, you sure as hell can use outside sources to solve them. So sign up, get your free puzzle. And then let me know what you think. Yeah, look at this, you guys. I signed up and I got a free eight-track sample puzzle. You did. Exactly. And it took You can get a link to a place where you can enter that answer and see if you get it right. Yep, pretty rad. Yeah, see how you do with it. I've done, I had some playtesting with a few people, some people who do puzzle pint on the regular, and people who don't, because I want to see how well this puzzle works for both. It's funny.

I haven't heard yet from the people who do puzzle pint, except for George. George loved it. Uncle George is like, oh, this is great. This is like a total, totally fits in the theme. but then I sent it to a friend of mine who's never been to puzzle pint never done anything like that and he freaking loved it he brought it to trivia brought it with me to trivia all filled out and said this part was great this was really clever this was awesome it's like all right cool thanks man I appreciate that sure sure that's great so I feel like uh feel like it's good rock puzzles monthly

is the um is the is the website um get signed up get a free puzzle and um and there you go what else can you ask for seriously exactly that's amazing this kind of feels like it's one of the things that i was i was made to do right like i've got that game show vibe in me this is basically me playing a giant worldwide game show with people yeah yeah no this is i couldn't think of a uh what's the what's the there's a phrase for this but these these clothes fit you or something or exactly it's uh it's destiny it's uh it's it's kismat no it's uh it's uh

um it's my wheelhouse yeah so sometimes you have stuff you just are meant to do this is brian's thing one of the things he is meant to do it's like me and making cartoons about a can of extreme of expired cream corn i was meant to do that all right you were meant to do that i'm so glad you're doing it again i missed fred and can yeah i took a little bit of a break it's nice to be back so uh watch for more of those but this is all very exciting stuff i feel like you need fred and can as much as fred needs can. I do a little bit. It's kind of your, an outlet when shit is shit

shitty around us. Sorry for all the swears, people. shitty shit. A shitty shit. But I feel like it's the it's the therapy that we kind of all need. A little bit. You in writing it and us and reading it. It is how, it is how it dealt. I mean, it started

during the pandemic and, you know, it always comes up when things are weird. So that's a, that's an astute notice that you have there about that. All right. A couple of things. Today I signed the contracts for nerdtacular events the place, the

venues, the stuff. That's all happening today. I'm very nervous about it, but it's going to go great. My rep Sylvia, who I work with directly on this thing, has been wonderful. And she's buying us lunch today. She's rolling out the red carpet and everything for us. Sure, she

better. Like, you're signing a big contract with her, she better. Yeah, these contracts are scary because if something, I don't want to get into the details, but if something happened a few months before I'd be on the hook for a lot of... It'd be like having...

Basically, as put it this way, I'd be like having two houses I can't afford. Instead of just one. Yeah. So, anyway, it'll all work out. But I'm very excited about it because my focus,

my goal is to keep in mind what this is about. It's about community. It's about bringing us all together. Darn right. For possibly one big, final one of these. I don't know if there's more of these.

This might be it. So if this is it, I wanted to be special. The way to think about it. Don't think about 2027, 2028, whatever. Think about 2026. Make this nerdacular the best nerdacular. Yeah, I want it to be a big old crank and awesome deal. And I already got a couple of potential guests.

People are going to lose their minds. Oh, really? Oh, awesome. Going to lose their minds. I'm just glad to have a year off from TMS Vegas where I don't have to do it. Well, okay. Yeah. And you know what might be good.

I almost don't have to do anything. Well, no, you got, trust me, Brian will have plenty. But the nice thing about skipping a year at Vegas is that I think Vegas is in the middle of a self-reckoning of, they had a terrible tourist season. Yeah, they did. And most of it comes down to prices were too high. So I think, this is pure theory, me, it's not conspiracy or anything. I think in the next 52 weeks or so. I think Vegas is going to make some parts of Vegas

are going to have to make some concessions some some some locations or else you just can't afford going there it's just ridiculous we need to return to the 99 cent midnight shrimp buffets yeah shrimp cocktails I'm sorry not a buffet yeah although shrimp buffet sounds sounds great it is just a long metal table with shrimp with very suspect shrimp at that price exactly which end which end did they refill most recently because that's the end I'm getting shrimp from yeah and you get enough I mean you get two million people buying shrimp at 99 cents that's two million dollars pretty good yeah exactly a lot of cash so yeah uh yeah it would be nice it would be nice for Vegas like prices to go back down boy I'll

bet you the people at the plaza when I don't talk to them for a year um they're really going to worry what they what they did yeah you should send her send her a thing uh we should play it up and go yeah we just have to to be able to do it again We have to, you know, we got to stock up here because it's so expensive to come there now. And, you know, $25 day parking and all this stuff, buffets are $60. Like, what happened to you guys? And see if they like, you know. We'll give you the whole North Tower.

It's yours. Whatever you want to do. Right. Exactly. You want the pool? We'll give you the pool. You can have the pool. Every sink will stink.

Oh, wait. You don't like that. Never mind. Do you want, right? Exactly. Okay. Okay. We'll do it.

We'll finally fix the doors that open into the toilet. Toilet seats. By the way, when I go, oh, hey, I don't know who I'm being. I don't know who I'm making fun of. Of course, no, that's whoever. It's certainly not Bernadette. No.

But that is the thing. It's like I definitely want, I don't want to do it too soon because I liked getting invited to when they came to Denver and took everybody to Ocean Prime, which is one of the fanciest, schmanciest restaurants in downtown Denver. Oh, yeah.

They, you know, they did a whole thing to like, it was like a schmooze fest of like, All right. We sure love our people coming to Vegas for the tourism. So, you know, please come back with your events. Free good dinner. Free good dinner and a big swag bag full of stuff. Yeah. And a couple of weirdos that you could tell stories about.

That's what I like. That's right. You do remember. Yes. If I remember right. Anyway, so that'll be, get you in, 26 pants on everybody. It's going to be freaking awesome. I can't wait.

All right. No spoilers at all. But because Carter had COVID, we had to wait two weeks to catch up on, on Alien Earth. There's only one left. Next week's the finale. I know. Way too fast. I don't like it.

Yeah, yeah. This has been our most must-see, get ready, can't wait kind of thing for the year. We just, we made a night out of it every week. We just love doing it. And I can't believe I'm going to say this. But the most interesting character on television, not just the show, maybe across all of television right now because I can't stop thinking about it is and again no sport if you don't know the show you won't know what I'm talking about it's a sheep with a big

eyeball that's it yeah yeah oh my gosh I'd love it and I you know when that thing first showed up I went okay there's like back in episode one I went yeah okay that's I mean sure I guess you're just having some weird ideas that seems like something I'd draw like exactly it's like all right here's your Salvador dolly moment go ahead and create some weird yeah go ahead and do that but then as things have progressed wow dude i just noah holly will get always get my eyeballs so good i agree and i just like how it's like it's like it's freaking maniacal it's so good it is the best um all right and then a quick shout out to our pal ducy who is too uh shy to say anything i don't know if he's too shy to say anything

but he's celebrating a birthday. Yeah, I never sent in a... Let me see if they've eventually sent in a cover request. Sometimes people are really late with their cover requests, and I've already picked out, you know, music for the week or, you know, scramble during the day. Let's see. No, no request from...

This is the kind of guy he is. From Kirsa or Duce. Yeah, these are the kind of people that don't, you know, they're not trying to shine light on themselves. He's going to do heavy lifting, as he does in Vegas. He's going to do heavy lifting on the board game room, and we got a massive room for board game. games 24-7 all weekend for nerd tag.

Oh, nice. Yeah. And it's right next. Is it really going to be open late 24 hours a day? As long as you want to be in there, it's open. The real question is whether or not we put any of our rules on top of it so that Ducey can get sleep and not have someone steal a board game, which probably shouldn't, wouldn't happen. We might finally get a, we might finally be able to finish a game of Dark Tower. Yeah, there you go.

That might actually work if you've got 72 hours. see here's the cool thing is that because i'm driving i can bring marvel united and a crap ton of minis i can bring return to dark tower and the big oh yeah the big tower in the middle yeah um i can bring some of these games that are a little bit harder to uh you know to travel with um so i'm hoping our favorite chip theory couple brings a bunch of stuff that would be awesome you know they will you know they will i'm bringing my copy of fight five which i still have to play but i'm Gunu this weekend. Yeah, so the point is, he had a birthday,

and I wanted to just give him one of these. Happy job, say, do you? Because he's going to, he's going to be crucial to that event happening the way that we wanted to, at least in the Game Boy, board sense, and we just love that guy. So, uh, happy birthday, docy. You deserve it. It almost sounds like your little sounder is saying happy doozy to you.

Oh, happy doozy. Oh, happy doocee. Yeah, it's pretty good. Yeah. I like it. Happy Ducey. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, we have this just in from, uh, hold on. Does it happen? Oh, here it is. We got something in from him right now. What? Oh, he just didn't understand what was going. He said what. Okay.

What? Uh, all right. Let us, uh, dive in, Brian, to today's news stories. There are a few. And, uh, well, it's really important that we bring him to you. So here you go. No, not that one. It's time for the news brought to you.

Brought to you by Coverville, people, you need to stay in the know with the news, and then you need to be entertained with the music. Yesterday, Fee Waybill turned 75 years old, and some of you are saying, oh, that's cool. Others of you are saying, what, isn't that what I have to pay if I order something from Timu? No, Fee Weibel is the lead singer of the band The Tubes. And, man, what a bombastic career. If you've ever seen video, I've seen the tubes in concert once. a, it was sad to say, where are they now 80s

concert? But they were the closing act and Feewaybill came out, cross dressed for part of the songs and then went back and changed into just like a rocker outfit. Feeway Bill, a lead singer of the tubes, she's a beauty, talk to you later, sushi girl,

white punks on dope, the completion backwards principle, all that stuff. Turn 75, not a lot of covers of the tubes and by the tubes. but um that the guy right here with the two ladies the guy right there yes okay he's he is uh he's got unmistakable voice um when you hear it and uh um and but his stage performance is like legendary he's he's he's a band made to be he's either fighting these jazzercise ladies or they're coming after him if you know that's right that might be i wonder if that's from zandu so

they had a song in zanadu the uh they were the band the rock band that the disco people were fighting with or then merged with and did a joint song or something oh right uh i didn't know that i thought that was e l o like half the other rest of the album i didn't know that no no that was uh that was the tubes uh fee wabel also did the title track to one of my favorites uh running scared the film with uh billy crystal and gregory hines yeah that movie rocks is just a detective um anyway so fee wabel turning 75 but because i need a little bit more for the show um you know we're going to celebrate the birthday of b b b b b bing pretty sure no longer with us but but this would have been his um let's see he died in 2015 this would have been his oh we're looking at a hundredth birthday for uh b b b king um what's the date

september 16th 1925 he would have been uh a hundred two days ago damn 100 100 birthday Happy, what would have been your 100th birthday to BB King? The thrill is gone. You're going to miss me, sweet little angel, bring it on home to me, all those great songs that he either popularized or wrote himself. Yeah, well, he's a legend, of course. He is a legend. And so that'll be coming up today right after TMS at twitch.tv slash coverville.

Excellent. Check it on the podcast if you are not here for that live. Brian, we got the world's tallest sunflower to talk about. I saw the video of this thing. This thing is insane. Yeah. Crazy, right? He needs a, uh, he had to create like an oil Derek to get up to the top of it. I want to, uh, I kind of want to get a seed out of it, you know?

Right. That's what I really want. Anyway, uh, when a Ukrainian immigrant Alex Babich, Babich, I think that's right, stands in his Indiana backyard, craning his neck to look 35 feet up, 11 meters for those who do the space points. Into the sky, he isn't just staring at a sunflower. He's looking at his roots and his future legacy. The sunflower or the flower named Clover, that's what he nicknamed it. I don't know why.

It's not a clover. That's fine. Whatever. Yeah. I mean, if you're going to name it something, I don't know. It feels like naming it another plant is kind of the wrong way to go. Yeah, it's a little weird. I like having a cat named lizard. Or better yet, a lizard named cat.

A lizard named cat. Oh, I kind of like that idea, though. Yeah. If I had a lizard, I call him Kitty. Yeah. Come here, Kitty. Kitty. That would be great. Kitty, the lizard. I love that. Let's see here. It says, was confirmed Wednesday by Guinness World Records is last Wednesday.

As the tallest sunflower ever measured stretches as high as a telephone pole, achieving the feet holds significance for the 47-year-old Babbage since sunflowers are the national flower of Ukraine. Did you know that, Brian? Did you know? I did not know that. That makes sense now as to why is dedicating this to Ukraine. I wonder if it's their national road trip snack is the sunflower seed. Is the big bigs? No. Spitz. No.

Spitz is one of them. David's. David's. David's a good one. But Spitz is another one. Like you get the dill pickle or the barbecue. Yeah. For me, it's the, if I don't get cracked pepper, we're not doing it right.

That's the stuff I prefer. Oh, cracked pepper. That's so good. Yeah. God, I have not had a bag of sunflower seeds down here in a while. That needs to be directified. that yeah fix that get that today i think i have a bag of those upstairs i should do that too you know i'll wait till i signed the contract i don't want to be all salty there you go celebrate

you want your fingers all cracked peppery yeah like why are you leaving smudges all over this yeah why you look like you have sodium coming out of your pores anyway uh it says he was born and raised in the ukraine he immigrated the u.s at age 14 in 1991 after the Chernobyl nuclear nuclear disaster geez louise seven years ago he started growing some flowers as a symbol of his love for his home country. His first sunflower was 13 feet more meters tall than 15 4.5 meters and then 19.5.8.

Quickly, he began asking himself, How far can I take this? He said the record breaking flower was the result of trial and error over the years. It's one of my kids. He says, you're out there every day taking care of it. So this isn't just accidental.

He's like, he's been trying to cultivate the tallest, Guinness World Record tallest. Yeah, he wants. wanted to work and look look at that happy guy he's just like I know oh he's even got a t-shirt made yeah look at that

that's great that's very cool he looks like that's going to be good until the zombies come he looks like norm I played that game yeah I'm yeah right oh shit that's cool immigrant doing a cool thing

also don't tell anyone if you see a truck drive up that's black and has the word ice on it maybe don't oh geez maybe go hide behind your flower Doctor walked out of an operation for sex with a nurse Okay That seems What's the news story?

Well, some people frown upon this sort of behavior Turns out Can we see a picture of the nurse? Because I think that feels like it's Feels crucial to the This isn't a story We gotta know what she looked like I love it

Right before we can make any judgments Does she look like the animanian A hello nurse. Oh, man. One would hope. But it says here, a doctor left a patient on an operating to the room table under anesthesia, all right? To go have the sex with a nurse in another room, according to the medical tribunal that heard the case. That's a thing, a medical tribunal.

The medical tribunal. Tribunals are scary. Guessing there's three of them. Yeah, right. Does there have to be three for a tribunal? I think you say that. I would think so. right there in the name. Are there bi-bunals?

Bibunel. Oh, Oudbunel? Unobunil. One person? No, uno-bunel. That doesn't work. Monobunil, I guess it would be. There are three bunals. Dr. Sun Hale, Angam, age 44, and the unnamed nurse were caught in a compromising position by a quote-unquote shocked colleague at Thamesdale Hospital in greater Manchester, England. Yeah, that's right. This didn't happen in freaking Florida.

Calm yourselves down, chat. Yeah. Manchester. I know what you were assuming. Home of Oasis and Frente. That's right. All the brothers love each other there. That's right.

The incident. The city of a brotherly love. The incident's actually a while back. It's happened in 2023, but it's just come to light in a fitness or sorry, in a fitness to practice hearing for the doctor who had been. living in Pakistan and applied to work in the UK again he did not dispute the evidence against him presented by the general medical council or the GMC over here that's a car maker maybe the GMC yes yeah is that the PACER no those the AMC PACER what the GMC's general motors

yeah they're the parent company of a few of them now I think it's just general motors company or corporation probably is it just okay because they still make a truck that's like the GMC huge thing deal big guy with a mustache driving it yeah by the way tribunal comes from the the term the tribunes magistrates of the classical roman republic oh tribunal originally refute or tribunal originally referred to the office of the tribunes um trying to think uh you got you you guys have a tribune salt lake tribune we do it's our liberal paper here in the conservative of Utah. Yes, exactly. Yes. What they say. There you go. So,

Tribune. Yep. Tribute. So we just say we should be tribunal is how we should say it. I think so. Yeah, right. Because, you know, we say Tribune. We don't say, yep, comes from the Salt Lake Tribune. Yeah, we say tributary. We don't say tributary. That's right. Or Tribal, not tribal.

Trivia. We don't call it trivia. Tribal with tribles. Wait. Tribals. let's see. It says the consultant and aneth... I can never say this word, right?

The consultant anesthetist had said he needed a comfort break and asked another nursing colleague to monitor the male patient halfway through the procedure. So this wasn't like the guy with a knife in his gut.

We were originally visualizing that this was the surgeon who had a patient like with their chest open. He's like yeah, I'll be right back. He was the... I mean, also important dionistatist or nesthetist but for some reason

I don't know why it feels while still horrible still feels a little bit less horrible than if he was the yeah context matters if it was the guy with the knives we would be this would be worse somehow but still you're leaving to go have sex

yeah don't sneak off to the year it's not like she's got a window that's going to close and like 15 minutes if you don't go. Yeah. Wait until you're done. Yeah. Then celebrate a wonderful operation with some sex. Yeah.

Why not? The gurneys will still be there. They say makeup sex is the best, but I think successful surgery sex is It must be amazing. Operational, celebrational sex is the best. I think this was a, this felt like this was a plot line on every fourth episode of ER. Yeah.

Definitely that. raising gravy what's that that's not the name what's the one with what's her name has been there forever oh uh hope uh not hope uh the other one i'm sorry not hope um not chicago no helen pompeo yes uh graze anatomy grazing brazing gravy raising gravy raising gravy

raising gravy It's 50th season or whatever the hell it is now. Yeah, yeah. All right, anyway, so here's the thing. I love this part. It says instead of finishing the thing, Dr. Anjum went to another operating theater at the hospital and had sex with a woman referred to in the hearing as nurse C.

Nurse C. Yeah, nurse C. I guess. Hope Nurse C didn't have Hep C. No. And he gave her the... Terrible, terrible. All right. That's going to do it for today's news. Let's, oh, you know what? I want to do this last one. Sorry, I want to do this Alligator one.

Okay. An emotional support alligator is no longer welcome in Pennsylvania Walmarts. Oh, we've had enough. They will let you do this for 10 years, but now it's, now we've stopped. Yeah, don't more of that. You're done. I got a great picture of this thing wearing like a scarf or something. Let's see. Really? Oh, my gosh. I don't see this. Sure enough. Yeah. Let's see if I can get in here. Oh, love it.

Like a little thing. It's like a turtleneck sweater. Yeah. He goes all the way down to his little bum. It's more like a leg warmer, basically. Yeah. He doesn't look. I mean, I know they can't really make expressions, but this alligator, I don't know that

he loves this. I don't know. Maybe he does. You know what? He doesn't look unhappy and the guy doesn't look crazy. No, the guy looks stoked. I actually believe that this really is his emotional support. alligator yeah just don't sleep with it you know don't have it in the bed with yeah they tell you not

to do that no matter what but whatever pet it is but um anyway this says uh this goes on to say let's see here western pennsylvania man his emotional support alligator took a shopping cart spin around the local walmart where he claims they have never had a problem but this recent trip earned him orders to stay away the retail giant confirmed on thursday oh man corpos you corpo bastards age 60 and his five-foot-long 32-pound reptile named Genosia or Genosch, hold on, Jincioshi. I am hooked on the video of this thing on the, on the site that started playing. It's like, oh, Jinseioshi. Jinseioshi. There you go. He experienced nothing but praise.

By the way, what do you feed? If you got a domestic alligator, I wonder what you do there. What do you feed them? Yeah. I have to be like, I mean, I don't even know. I mean, raw chicken, you know. I mean, you know, in all seriousness, probably, he's kind of cute. You know, I'm looking at these, like, close-up shots of the... He's adorable.

He's adorable. He's not even that old. This is a pretty young gator. With his little turtleneck. Yeah, look a good little face. He doesn't look, you know, he doesn't look unhappy. He looks like he's content cuddling with this guy, like, wrapped around his shoulder. BioCal, what does he eat anything it wants?

Yeah, there you go. That's the joke, yeah. I think he, um, uh, I think Gator, whatever, like, don't blame it on the Gator. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, yeah. Um, I've seen worse things in a Walmart, so I don't know what their problem is, whatever. I know, really. If they want to drop the ban hammers on something at Walmart, uh, just go to the website, people of Walmart.com or whatever it is that have the photos every, every week of, uh, people

With thongs on the outside of their sweatpants and things like that. Exactly. Yeah. It's funny that you and I both were scarred by the very same photo. Yeah. This is the first thing we think of with that website. And I think it was a dude to make it worse. I think it was an actual dude.

With a tank top and a pair of sweatpants with a thong. Freaking gnarly. The giant baseball cap. You ever been up close with a live alligator before? No. No, I don't think. I'm trying to think. think of the closest I've ever come is just like one of those around the fence at a

at a alligator show in Kissimmee or something I went to uh so when I was in Mississippi saw him all the time but rarely up close but a couple of times I got some guy owned one just up the road and let us get up close to it and he let us touch it while he sat I can't remember how he held the mouth shut but he was holding the mouth shut somehow maybe this will get cut out, out of context to play. Oh gosh. Yeah, I should add context the entire time. An alligator, an amphibian

alligator. But yeah, I remember the touching the side of that thing, like the back scales. It was probably a medium age, like teen age. It wasn't a full grown alligator. That was one of the wildest textures. I can, I'll never forget the feeling of it. Yeah, it's like nothing else. I really couldn't

compare it to anything. That's just a wild thing. You'd have to like you see alligator shoes and boots and stuff those don't they're not that's not what this is it's so different no it's like um uh the closest thing i can think of was when we we did a swimming with dolphins thing and in actually in rowatown i think i brought up rootan hundarus yesterday um we did a swimming with dolphins thing and for part of that we just got to sit there and hold a dolphin in our arms like weird partially in the water and it felt like a a beach ball one of those multicolored beach balls filled with jello pudding.

I mean, like stretched, stretched as full as you could make a beach ball full of jello pudding. That's what it felt like. So no extra, it's not like all slickery or anything. It's sort of just, uh, it's, it's wet because it's partially and, you know, we're pulling it out of the water. Right. But there's no like artificial like goo on it that's making it. No, no, like a, like a toad or a frog or something that creates its own, its own lube or whatever.

going on. I don't know what that is. What do you call that? Not excrement. They excret- Excretions of natural. Outer mucus or something. Yeah.

You know, some animals need, was it otters or something? They put off a weird oil. My dog puts off a mighty stink and a weird film. Like a musk kind of like a... Rainer reeks, man.

Oh, geez. I love her, though. I think she's losing it, though. She's having all kinds of like little panic attack. like shaky panic attacks. So I'd lay with her a lot. There's nothing wrong with that. The couch is getting lots of use.

You're giving her a very good life. Yeah. Let's hope it's taking good care of her. Let's hope it's no time soon. We have enough of this crap going on in my life. All right. Well, that's going to do it for today's news. Now, because if you thought it couldn't get any better, we're doing one of these.

I'm going to quiz Brian. The subject is 1980s. hair metal. Oh, holy boy, he had me excited until you said the words hair metal. Yeah, I know this is a tricky zone for you. So I wanted to be, you know, it's a genre that I've grown to appreciate a lot more now than I did in the 80s when that kind of stuff was nosing out the new wave stuff that I loved is like, all right, cool, new wave songs. Wait, what's this? Why are we here in Bon Jovi?

Why are we here in Motley Crew? Yeah, and I honestly, if I look back, I listen to some of it at the time and thought, okay, I guess this is where we're going. And I sort of like some early crew and I like some, I don't know. Right. And Twisted Sister. Twisted Sister. Some of that stuff was okay in a hot minute.

But if you look back on it, sure, none of it's very good. Like, I have some fond feelings attached to some of these songs. Yeah, exactly. I think we all do. I think we, it's kind of like, you know what? this is this is really good if you don't think about it too much yeah yeah it's not bad if you hear pour some sugar on me by deaf leopard you can have a good time but then all i tell you a quick deaf leopard story yeah do it um all right so i'll do the preamble to this really quickly to get

us into the story but um a friend of mine's wife was having to uh look at some incident reports at libraries because she was looking for a specific uh infraction okay they have that there You can do that at the library? Well, she works for the library. And so she was looking up a customer, a regular person who comes in who causes problems to find out that she actually goes to these other libraries and also causes problems.

And when she was looking up that, she found a completely different report. Yeah, incident report. All right. There's a guy working in the computer lab, working really hard, super focused, got all of his papers laid out, and he is working on a report on Def Leopard.

He's sitting there like, you're working, you know, I guess doing some sort of school report and he got to choose what his subject was and lucky dude got to choose Def Leppard. Nice. Guy walks into the library, comes up to the computer lab, looks over the shoulder of this guy and this all comes from the Incident Report. This is all like written in the Incident Report. Right. Looks over the shoulder and says, oh, Def Leopard, I love Death Leopard.

You're doing a report? That's so cool. What's your favorite song? And the guy, you know, doesn't know who this guy is behind him and just like kind of looks up over his shoulder and says, pour some sugar on me. And the guy at this point takes off his backpack, unzips it, takes out a bag of sugar. What? And proceeds to dump it on the guy doing the report. So on, this is his whole thing to go in there and say that the report.

Here's like the squandered opportunity. for some reason that guy stuck around they asked him to leave and he says well don't you want to hear my side of the story and the library person says no I just want you to get out why wouldn't you want to hear their side of the story what possible explanation could they give for why they dumped a bag of sugar on this yeah you needed to make that part of the report I agree yes that's so weird completely squandered opportunity so anyway

wild pour some sugar on me that's the that's the that's the I like the idea that his report started with the words, Untagliben, glouten globin. There's so many questions. Did this guy, like, was he planning on doing this? Did he know that this guy was doing a report and, like, ran out and got a bag of sugar, hoping that this guy would say pour some sugar on me? Yeah.

Did he also have a rock of ages or some matches in case he said pyromania? Yeah. How far was he willing to take us? Like, what else was in that backpack? Was he going to cut off one arm and still be a drummer? Like, what is he going to do at the end of all this? Exactly, yes. That's a deep cut, you guys.

Literally a deep cut. Brian, here's your first question. These are all multiple choice, so that'll help. We'll start with this one. Which bands, again, we're in the subject of 80s hair metal. Which band's 1981, so early, debut album Too Fast for Love, was originally self-released before Elektra Records picked it up and here are your options. Okay. So which band we're looking for?

A, Quiet Riot. That's the emphasis you put on them. Quiet Riot Had enough out of you Motley crew number two Or B, sorry C, rat with two T's Or D-Docan

So your options again are Quiet Riot Monty crew rat or Dawkin Well I think I think Quiet Rites If they didn't change the name I think Quiet Rite's first album was Metal Health

And I think rats If I heard the The title of the debut album That I'm familiar with And I think that was their also debut. So I think it's between Dockon and who's the fourth that's not

Rat or Quiet Riot? Motley Crew. Yeah. Motley Crew. Motley Crew or Dockon. I'm going to say I'm going to say Motley Crew. Let's find out if it's Motley Crew. Oh, congratulations. You did it.

They pressed their own leather records is what they called it. L-E-A-T-H-U with an umulout are records. They have their own little thing. Of course, because they have to put umlots all over everything. I love that that is the running joke too with spinal tap as they put umlots over the end. Yeah, I feel like they were taking a directs, well, I mean, that movie's so old, it would like, like, I think it predated, um, crew, but it's, it's still always felt like a poke,

a poke at them, right? I don't know. I think it, I think, I think part of that umlaught thing was making fun of crew and the other heavy metal bands at that time. But then some of the older stories are like based on, you know, rumors of things that happened to other, uh, uh, yeah i course says it didn't predate them so maybe that's right yeah spinal tap was 85 i thought it was earlier i thought it was 83 or 82 yeah i think it was 85 84 i always put that in like i always put them in the 70s which i know was wrong but in my head it is um all right two uh iron maiden's

nineteen eighty two album the number of the beast was the first to feature which vocalist your options are paul diano b robert halfer half C. Bruce Dickinson or D. Blaze Bailey. I think it's Bruce Dickinson. Oh, you would, but you'd be right. Okay, good job. That was a fairly easy one. Pilot Bruce Dickinson.

Yeah, Rob Halford is Judas Priest. I don't recognize the other two names. Blaze Bailey and Paul Diano. Somebody here was the previous... Oh, Paul Diano. Someone was a previous singer for them before he came because there was a previous singer. Yeah, I probably should remember that from when Hammond and I did.

Iron Maiden on soundography. Run for the hills. That's my favorite. Number three. In 1983, Metallica's Killem All originally had a different

working title rejected by the label for being too extreme. Was it A, metal up your ass? It's a fun one. It is. Bonded by blood

is B. C, power surge or D. Seek and destroy. I think it's going to be, I feel like those last two aren't so offensive. And the first one is a little too silly. So I'm going to say it's bonded by blood. They didn't want kids to cut themselves and be bonded by blood.

Let's find out. Is it that? Oh, you were close, at least in order. It was a, meddle up your ass. It was metal up your ass? Oh, I love that. I thought that was a joke answer. That is fantastic.

That is a sign you got high school kids getting ready to be a metal band. is what that is that's Lars that's got Lars written all over yeah um oh I should keep track of score here hold on uh two two of three so far so you have one two okay uh next up number four which guitar is famous famously audition for Ozzy Osborne in 1975 securing the role that led to the blizzard of Oz album in 1980 uh your options are a Randy Rhodes Rhodes B Jake E Lee's C Zach Wilde or D George Lynch I think that would be Randy Rhodes. You are correct.

Yeah. His neoclassical style define Ozzie's early sound and would forever cement Rhodes as one of the greats. That's cool. Well done. Long time collaborators, those two. Oh, yeah. The new guy I worked with before he passed, Kenny.

Because he did work with Zach Wilde, too, later, did he? Yeah. Yeah. Somebody, I think I saw Randy Rhodes. Oh, I don't remember now. The Killer of Giants, that was just a song on the album. I forgot the name of the album. But the one with the Boris Vallejo art on the front,

that's the concert I went to. Metallica opened for him, and then he comes out, and his guitarist was insane, and I cannot remember who that was. That may have been Randy Rhodes still. Whoever it was, we were just floored by him, but we were not floored by Ozzie,

who sat in a chair the whole time. Oh, really? And that was in 1986. I know that was not 2025. Totally wild. I guess there's a documentary about that final concert. that's coming out. There are. There are two. If you listen to Daily Music Headlines today, you can find out about the two documentaries in early October for Ozzy Osbourne that are coming

out. That's awesome. Yeah. When's one of them's Paramount or something? One of them's Paramount Plus. The other one is BBC. The one from the BBC is the one, was it Ozzy Osbourne going home? And it was the one that got previously bumped from August that they had planned on doing and said, you know what? Maybe we need to give some time for the family. So they're going to released that one on October 2nd and then Paramount Plus has one that focuses more on his health issues, Parkinson's and stuff like that.

His back stuff he had. It was real bad. Yeah. They effed him up with that. I really did, yeah. Okay, here's your next one. Slayers Breakthrough album, Rain of Blood. I remember having this on tape. Sure. 1986 was produced by whom? A.

Martin Birch, B. Rick Rubin. C. Rob C. Rob C. Sorry, Rob Rock. I want to say Rob Cock. Rob Rock. Okay. Or D. Tom Werman. So again, Martin Birch, Rick Rubin, Bob Cock, Bob Rock. And Tom Wormon. I can't stop saying, cock. I think it's Rick Rubin, but I really want it to be Bobcock. Well, we'll see if it's Rick Rubin first and then see how you did.

You are correct. Rick Rubin, known for his hip-hop. He was all hip-hop at the time, but he was. Yeah, he's, um, that dude has had a career. There was a, what was the documentary that we just watched? It was Rick Rubin interviewing Paul McCartney, is that right? Oh man, that's a, that's, I haven't seen that. I don't like to see that. It's really good. Tell me, the people correct me if I'm wrong.

Isn't it Rick Rubin interviewing Paul McCartney as a recent, like last, last documentary from last year? That sounds awesome. So good. Yeah, that sounds really good. And he just walks, he's still barefoot, just walks around. Oh, I'm interviewing Paul McCartney. I'm going to be barefoot. Oh, that guy's great.

He's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's. kid whatever the zero fs he dresses like the kid in uh in alien earth that's the rich kid yes the boy genius yeah boy genius walking around with his what's a boy cavalier is that it is that the name kid cavalier kid cavalier yeah kid cavalier yeah want to kick him in the nuts oh I know yeah a little turd reminds me of one of my college roommates oh man yeah I'm said serious it reminds me of tech bros today yeah yeah um all right number six the Pee mrc or parents music resource center filthy 15 list in

1985 included a track by which heavy metal band was it a Judas Priest B Twisted Sister C Slayer or D Megadeth this one was hard for me because it could be any of them it could be any of the any of the four and that was the whole tipper gore thing right the whole PMRC and the reason that for a while we had to have those big

black and white labels on the covers of our of our CDs I think it was Judas Priest. Yeah. If I remember. You still have to have those. What's great about those? Yeah.

They're now a prestige. The symbol of right. That's how stupid these politicians are. They didn't understand what they were doing. This brand just made you rebel more. Exactly. It's like, well, I wasn't going to buy the sound, but whoa, it's suggestive themes. And excellent.

Yeah, I'm totally. So stupid, man. Totally, totally young. So we, of course, learn nothing from it as a society. but I'll, I remember what it means. Anyway, go ahead. So, like you said, could be any of them. And it's funny because I even did an episode of Coverville,

why I tried to play as many covers of those 15 songs as possible. But I think it was Judas Priest. All right, let's find out. Is it Judas Priest? Oh, close. Well, close. It's one of these answers. It's one of the other three.

It was Twisted Sisters. We're not going to take it. because for some reason, parents were afraid of that song, and that was dumb. It's going to incite rebellion. It's so stupid. Yeah, people in the chat room are like, yeah, D. Snyder actually even testified. Now I'm totally remembering that when he was dressed all clean cut with his glasses and his hair in the ponytail. Yeah.

I remember that too. Yeah, glasses on. Oh, man. Yeah. You know who was a good David Letterman interview was freaking D. Snyder. That guy was so good on Letterman every time he went on there. And he is a very well-spoken. I mean, the dude knows so much about music.

I've seen interviews where he talks about music history and bands and stuff like that. He's one of those musicians who loves music. Yeah. Who loves all kinds of music. And he's fascinating. Yeah, he's great. I don't know what they're up to now. You know what I got talent.

He's still releasing, like he released a cover out of a couple of years ago of like, well, it's been a while. Broadway, D. Snyder does Broadway. hits. And it's really good. Oh my gosh. I haven't even heard of that. Yeah. All right. We are now at number seven. So you've got four more of these. Which band released the 1987

album Permanent Vacation marked by a comeback with a glossier production of MTV presence? Sounds like you might know it off top of your head. I think if I remember correctly, I think it's Aerosmith, but let's hear the choices. The options are A, A, Aerosmith, B, White Snake, C, Def Leopard, or D,

poison. I think it's the smith of arrows i think you're right had a beat-up car on the front with permanent vacation spray paint on the side if i remember correctly i think that's right that rings a bell it has been a very long time though yeah and i remember around the time of kiss's uh de-makeoping oh my gosh wasn't it right around the same time yes you know what i recommend everybody to do today take some time go to youtube and look up the first video kiss did without makeup oh Yeah, it is. Was it lick it up or is it?

It was lick it up and it was absolutely, it is one of the cheesiest, freaking weirdest things I've seen lately. You got to see it. It's so bad. Yeah, really? I don't know if I want to. Those guys, man, they're ugly with makeup. Oh, they're so, without.

Somebody, has anyone ever talked to Gene Simmons and says, hey, when you're off stage and you're not dressed like the demon, has anyone given you hair advice at all? Like any kind of anything? Why does that have to look like Lego hair? Why does your hair look like it has to be? Yeah, it's a helmet. We can spin it around and see a different Gene Simmons face on the back of his head.

It's like, oh, you're right, Pump. Pump, thank you, Brian Mitchell Young. Yeah, Pump was the album with the beat up car with the spray painting name on this time. Which one at the Run DMC Collab? Was it that one? Or maybe it's the one I'm talking about here. It might be permanent vacation. Was that on an Aerosmith album or was that just on a Run DMC album?

Oh, that's a good question. Batter and deffer than usual or whatever it was called. Batter and deffer than usual. I think it's my rap album. Better and deffer than usual. That wasn't on, oh, so, okay, I, for some reason I couldn't, well, I couldn't really remember, but I thought maybe they did both, but that would be weird.

They wouldn't do that. Yeah. Richard Kine does, hold on. Sean Bloom says Richard Kine does a Gene Simmons impression. I have to see this. Can someone please? Oh my gosh. the run DMC album was something in hell or hell yeah yeah yeah yeah wrapping it was the first was that the first that was their first album wasn't it um something is hell i don't know if it was their first it's certainly their breakthrough or it was the one with um i guess you know it's tricky and uh my adidas it's tricky walk this way all that stuff was on there okay that was on that same album yeah but i cannot remember the name of the album something in hell or run like hell or run like hell i

or run. Raising Hell, is that it? Raising Hell, that's it. I couldn't think it'd be that simple. That's Lane. I have a video game called Raising Hell. That's Lane. All right, we have number eight coming up here.

Okay. Or was that eight? Nope, here's eight. The 1980 Black Sabbath album Heaven and Hell was their first to release, sorry, was their first to feature which singer? Ian Gillian, Glenn Hughes, Ronnie James D.O., Tony Martin. Those are your options. So let's see.

Ian Gillen came from Deep Purple. Did he, was he part of Black Sabbath? I thought he went solo. Oh, Deo, Ronnie James Dio, right? I think it's Ronnie James Dio. That is correct. Yeah. That was his debut there.

I was into him for a while. I got so focused on, on Gillen, that Ian Gillen, but. Fair point. Yes. Now I'm looking at the chat room. Yes. you guys are down there. I was looking up here. This is how we do these contests, you guys.

Oh, maybe people looking at me. Maybe people weren't looking at me. No, they were looking at me. Yeah, they saw you. Yeah. They had your face up there. Next up, number nine, we got two more. Which 1984 album by Wasp? I went to this concert. They opened for Van Halen that year. Nice.

Anyway, which 1984 album by Wasp featured the controversial track Animal, F like a Beast? Okay. Oh, man, I remember the cover. Yeah. It initially got pulled from release. It was like a huge deal at the time. Yeah. Oh, I got to give the option. Sorry. My bad. My bad. My bad. I'm going to need them. Definitely need them.

My bad. Otherwise, it's to be, it's the one with a scantily clad woman on the cover. My mom was like, doesn't that mean we are Satan's people? No, mom. It means you're a sucker for bullshit you hear from people. That's what it means. White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Yeah. They always do it. A kiss was knights in Satan's service. Or keep in Satan's service. Yeah.

But that's the thing. It was always different depending on who you talk to. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. A neat trick. You can use initials to say about anything. I could say FBI and actually mean fart, fart, fart in turtles.

Pat Boone stands for praise all of the big. Yeah. Can't go any further than that. Yeah. We'll get targeted for something. Yeah. All right, here are your options for this 1984 album by Wasp Album. A, the Headless Children, B, Inside the Electric Circus.

C, Wasp Self-Titled, or D, the Last Command? I'm drawn to self-titled. I'm going to say Wasp Self-Titled. You are correct. Nicely done. It had like blades of grass with somebody looking through them, or no, was that a different, that was a different album, maybe. Striper or something.

Striper. Oh, my gosh. I can't remember the cover. Christian hair metal. Oh, what were we doing? What are we still doing? What are we doing? Final question. Which band's drummer lost?

Oh, damn it. I just talked about this. This is no good. Anyway, which band's drummer lost his arm in a 1984 car accident? It's a deaf leopard. Yeah, I would have, even if you wouldn't have talked about it. This was big news. Oh, yeah, you would have had this for sure.

The options I gave us for Metallica, Deaf Leopard, Scorpions, and ACDC. Obviously, it's freaking Def Leopard because he's up there going. An arm and a leg, but he got it for half price. Yep. And he's still, you know what? That guy could still bang it out with his feet and his one hand.

I was impressed. He'd be able to drum better with one foot than I could with all four limbs. Yeah. Was this Rick something? Rick Allen is what Matuba says. Rick Allen, that's it. Yeah, I was impressed by that at the time.

Yeah. In my youngness. All right. Well, there you did it. We did it. There you did it. We did it. Brian, let me tell you your final score. You got a eight. No, I'm sorry. Wait, five, six, seven, eight. Eight out of ten. Not bad. That's amazing. Whatever the score is, it's way more than I would have expected. I would have got. I think you did great. There's a few in there I got. I think I ended up in around five or six is all about half. And I liked that music back. Wow. I thought I did.

No kidding. Proven once again, Brian's the music master. He is the master debater. All right, moving on. Master Dew, Beater. We're going to get out of here. I want to thank everybody for being here. Oh, I never told you that Wendy wasn't here, everybody. Sorry, she went home.

Actually, he's originally from Edinburgh, Virginia, population 170, moved to Los Angeles, spent six years on the West Coast and then said, you know what?

The best way to prioritize my mental health was returned back to the place where he first fell in love with music. And so we went back to Edinburgh, Virginia. And he's released some music that definitely feels like it's a mix of those two locations, Kind of the sweet indie pop of Los Angeles, but also that Americana that you'd get of Virginia. Nice. Got a brand new EP that comes out November 14th. It's called Cross Stitch, but you get to hear this right now. This is a song that helped him overcome his social anxiety.

We all can deal with that. It's called Set It Off. Here's John Robert. Lights, low, music booms, my feet don't know what to do. Fill everyone's eyes and unseen all at the same time.
