Before the next show starts, let's enjoy an intermission.
You use methamphetamine again.
I'll shoot you in the head.
The morning stream.
He's taking a dump in a can.
Hello, everybody and welcome to TMS.
This is the morning stream for Tuesday, October 7th, 2025.
I'm Scott Johnson.
That's Brian Abbott.
Hello.
No, you are not watching AI.
This is the real us.
Yeah.
Doing a real show and a real thing.
And even though this looks like the AI, this looks like the AI versions of us.
Hello.
Hello.
I am here.
This is dumb.
Our dialogue is bad.
Did you see the one I remixed of me and you jumping into, it's like a wipeout scene?
Did you see that?
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Bouncing off the big red balls.
Yeah, I added a cracking because they let you remix it so you can say, well, here's the video.
Now hit the remix button.
And then you can say, all right, make it so it's the same video, but everybody's wearing a bunny ears or something.
You do whatever you want.
And in this one, I had a cracking.
attacking us from the water and then for some reason Brian Ibit at the end of it
congratulates and slaps on the back Brian Ibit yeah it's there's some really weird
really weird stuff with with people bouncing around like the you know dialogue hopping from
one person the other or in the remix what was two people's dialogue all of a sudden becomes
one person's dialogue to themselves oh yeah it's really weird or or you'll you'll only talk in my
voice and only talk in my voice or your voice and they know which one is us because that's the
cameo of the two names so that knows which like I need it to stay broken like this it needs to be
stupid and broken that doesn't need to improve make it bad this is what makes it funny I did one
this morning of um you me and Tom on Survivor and you guys are voting me out because I had all the
rice I tried to do one with you I was trying to create
TMS memes.
Yeah.
And I said, one with me coming out with a bucket of rice, throwing it on the table, while
you're there to pay, and me saying, you can eat rice.
That's it.
Yeah.
No references to Asian this or any of that.
It's just, you can eat rice.
It feels like it's very within the guardrails.
Yeah.
And it came back and said, sorry, this breaks our sexual innuendo rules.
Oh, well, you know, the kids, what the kids call rice these days isn't rice.
Oh, shit.
They got another sneaky one to get past.
It takes me right in the rice.
It's an unfortunate term for tiny little balls.
Well, anyway, we got all kinds of cool stuff lined up today.
We've got a little food tasting coming up.
I'm excited.
Mike Pacholok has been hard at it.
So he's sent us some stuff.
Boy, he has.
Generous Mike.
Very generous, that Mike.
Generous Mike, as I like to call him.
I'm generous Mike.
Yeah, he's your...
Where'd you first meet Mike, Mr.
Mr. T.
In the big, beautiful,
Mr. T.
I pity the fool.
I calm the fool.
I pity him.
Oh, that's a bad combo.
I didn't even think about it.
Well, anyway, we're going to start things, though, with this email.
This is from, let's see.
Oh, CJ.
They also go by Crafty Joseph.
So that's, I guess, that's short for Crafty Joseph.
Crafty, Crafty Joseph.
He wrote in and says this, about the new Tatey Joseph.
Taye album, the new Taylor Swift business.
He says, hey, gerbil and burble.
Okay, can I just stop there and just remind people that this thing where we do,
the names up the top?
Burble, sure, that's Brian, B, Brian.
It's B. Sure, yeah.
Gerbil.
The hell, man.
Gerbil.
It should be serbel and burble.
Yeah, I don't get it.
And I also assume this is gerbil, not.
Yeah, gerbil.
I mean, that's not the way one spells gerbil, but sure.
No, but it might be the way that Crafty Joseph does because he's crafty.
It could be, yes.
Anyway, he says, hey, Crafty Joseph here.
I was wondering what you guys think of the new Swift album.
I think it's pretty bad, mostly lyrically.
Am I crazy?
I like most of her music.
So I was so, oh, he typoed.
I was surprised how it hit me.
Maybe I'm just not in the mood to have songs in there about a football player's penis.
Anyway, love to hear your takes.
Thanks and love, love, love, love the show, though.
I already didn't put though.
Love the show show, he said.
Show show.
Says CJ.
So I kind of had the same reaction.
of this album. I went and listened to it.
I noticed that yesterday as well.
You had that in the show notes.
Yeah.
And we didn't get a chance to talk about it.
This guy sent in the meantime, but it was like...
So I think the music's good and the production's good.
Yeah.
I think the lyrics are just inane and kind of not her...
I don't know.
They weren't good.
You know what?
It might be because I listened to it Friday or got halfway through it, I think I mentioned
on Friday morning before we did Play Date.
And so far I loved what I heard, especially the fate of Ophelia.
I feel like that opener is the strongest song she's had since Midnights,
which is still my favorite Taylor Swift album.
I'm hardly a Swifty.
Like everything before folklore and Evermore,
I only listened to once because of soundography.
Sure, sure.
You know, all her early stuff, her self-titled, red, fearless, all that stuff.
One listen, folks, and it was Taylor's version, wasn't even the original version.
but um so i started listening to her with folklore and ever more and uh hooked on midnight's midnight's
the morning it came out i think i listened to that four times straight through just because it was
fantastic um uh what was after that the um not tortured poets there was something um between that
oh midnight and then was it midnight and then tortured poets i can't remember anyway so so i'm
kind of like a latecomer
Taylor Swift fan. I did not
pay attention to lyrics and it wasn't until after
we did the show that I heard. I heard the
kerfuffle about Wood before I heard the song
because
Peralta, Len Peralta, made the mistake
of saying that he didn't like that
song on
Blue Sky or threads and got
ripped on by all the
Swifties. Oh yeah, the Swifties will take you down
dude. I got in trouble for even suggesting
I didn't like the album very much.
They're roughed.
They don't want to get in their way.
I've got a niece who found out,
my niece sees this on some social media where I said,
I'm not sure I like the album.
Purely just saying my opinion,
not everybody should feel this way.
It was a pretty light opinion.
Like, that's what, yeah.
And my niece text came and goes,
what's Scott talking about?
Uncle Scott, he's wrong.
He doesn't know.
He's doing no good music.
He'd bit him in the ass.
Yeah.
I mean, so I get it.
The fandom is thick and I'm not trying to poke the bear,
but I just thought.
But track nine would, as you mentioned.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's fine.
It's all fine.
I just don't know.
It's fine.
It's not like, you know, it's not like male singers haven't been writing about women's genitalia for decades.
Yeah.
I have no problem with the actual subject matter.
I just find all of it's to be a little phoned in.
And maybe it's just me.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'll tell you this.
I've been listening to the car, so I've not been paying attention to the lyrics.
when I did finally hear Wood,
I'm like, oh, this is some really cool, like
Neo-Disco, like
Earthwind and Fire kind of stuff.
And I used to hear in their lyrics, I'm like, oh,
this is the song everybody's talking about.
So, um,
so admittedly, I've been paying much attention to the lyrics.
But, uh, um, yeah, I imagine,
I imagine, uh, the more you are a fan of something,
the more you just don't listen to it with a critical ear.
So the, you know, the, this,
50s out there. Hey, it's a brand new album. It's more content from her fantastic. I'm the same way with
I was thinking about this with Divine Comedy. That brand new album came out. I can't find a thing
to complain about with it, but I'm sure that critics, I haven't looked to see what critics think of
the album, but I'm sure that, you know, oh, it's a little, it's a little drier than his previous
work, or maybe it's a little too wistful or a little too slow or somber or whatever. But there's,
there are, I think we all have artists that we just say, whatever they put out, I'm going to listen to Nine Inch Nails. Like, you'll listen to Nine Inch Nails. That new soundtrack is so good. It's really, really good. Yeah. But, um, part of that is I love nine inch nails and I listen to him underwater if I had to. Exactly. Right. And that's the thing. Like, you know, and you probably wouldn't listen with a critical ear and saying, oh, I'm not sure what that choice was about or why they decided to do that arrangement. But, um, I don't know. It's, uh, it's, uh,
People, it is okay to like and dislike what you like and dislike.
Yeah, it's not a problem.
It's totally fine.
It's no problem.
Don't tell anyone else how to feel.
Just feel your way, your own way.
Exactly.
That being said, doing an entire track about your football player, boyfriend's winner.
It's a little much.
It's a choice.
It's a choice.
It's definitely a choice.
Do you remember, you're old enough to remember the blowback that Olivia Newton, John, had when she came out with physical and how all of a sudden,
man like if the internet was around then it would have freaking blown up over what the good girls doing a song about sex and disguising it as a workout routine oh no no that you guys don't even know how scandalous that was that was it really was yeah son jade i mean she basically turned from the character at the beginning of greece to the character at the end of greece in one song yeah exactly and at the end of the day it was just pure it was just pure it was just pure
your suggestion. The song wasn't that
graced. No, it really wasn't that
racy. It's just the fact that it was
you know, it was her just made it like
like Mr. Rogers talking
about
well, here's
let me explain the song
Wap to you.
Can you imagine?
You could probably do that in
Sora. Yeah. I was going to say
I've seen enough Mr. Rogers stuff
recently where he explains Riz.
Yeah. I've seen him fight
Bob Ross in a ring
in on the solar.
Yeah.
But they all do nothing
but say nice things to each other
while they're fighting and punching and stuff.
That's fantastic.
I do love all the Bob Ross stuff.
Stuff's ridiculous on there.
Yeah.
Well, anyway, there's that.
You know, enjoy your life of a showgirl of me.
I'm going to listen to the first track.
I'm going to listen to Opelite.
Yeah, Opelite.
And then I'm going to jump to
midnights.
Yeah.
And I think ruin the friend.
Friendships, super catchy, but again, the lyrics are a little.
Yeah, I could take or leave, what's the one with the dollar signs?
Wish list.
Yeah.
Cadillera, just kidding.
Cadillara, huh?
What dollar?
I just realized the track 12 is Sabrina Carpenter, but I didn't know it when I listened to it.
I didn't look that deep.
Her and Sabrina Carpenter doing the title track, and I didn't catch that any of the times I've listened to it.
So I need to go back and listen to that one because, you know, she's easy to miss.
She's like three foot two.
She's just like, unless you're looking down.
By the way, I saw a video,
Big Thanks to Raven for sending me this.
You know, in that song, Espresso,
she talks about some like Nintendo,
like, because it rhymes with espresso.
No, she's a big old gamer fan.
Like, she apparently hid the Legend of Zelda.
The flute theme is in the intro music of that song.
It's like hidden in there.
That's great.
I actually really like that.
There's a whole, that generation of singers,
like Baby No Money or Baby No Money or whatever's name is,
the rapper guy,
constantly talking about like Smash Brothers and gaming stuff.
And this is clearly a bunch of kids who grew up with,
you know,
their parents' GameCube and have a lot to say about it.
Which I think is great.
I like that a lot.
Yeah, me too.
All right, a couple things from yesterday's show.
It was a weird show, first of all.
It was a weird show.
Well, it got weird at the end because of...
Yeah, there's nobody's issue.
Nobody's mistake, but we had a brown out here,
and it blew everything off for a while,
including my ISPs for 35 minutes.
They didn't come back.
So that sucked.
But we were able to finally post the show.
We were able to get your song in there.
I tacked on my recommendal at the end,
so I didn't have to hold it another week.
Probably save Nicole some pain
because she hates Charlie Sheen, which, again...
She would not have been able to sit through your recommendation.
I think she would have been...
I would have, because this is not a celebration of Charlie Sheen at all.
Yeah, of this is a, this is more of like a very honest naked portrayal of exactly what that guy's lifestyle is about.
So that still may be a thing you'd want to avoid, but I thought that documentary was fascinating.
Anyway, I stuck all that in there.
Cool.
And one of the two problems came up yesterday.
I went to look for Cammy Davis and our Patreon.
She has apparently, she won the prizes.
Yeah, she has exited.
So, Cammy, this is for you if you're listening.
I don't what you said you were interested in winning
but then when I went to go look for you now
admittedly it's been a few weeks so
you disappeared
or at least that name did
so maybe you changed it to a handle or something
that I don't know about because I can only search by the names
that you guys originally had when you said
yes I'm interested so if
for some reason you hear this and it did change
reach out to me email whatever you want on the site
and I'll hook you up so just letting her know that
second thing
like I said decide
despite the outage,
the recommendal and the song are in post,
so don't avoid yesterday's episode.
I hate to ask, did you get the mashup in there too?
I did. I got all of it in.
Oh, good.
Everything's in. Yep. Matchup.
Two-part matchup, in fact.
Oh, really? Okay.
Yeah, I need to listen to all that.
Because I want to hear your recommendation,
your recommendal.
It's almost like you're recording your own little film sac bonus,
host bonus.
Yeah, I didn't like it.
It felt lonely in here. It was weird.
I'm sure. Yeah.
And then it did for me, too, doing my request.
Yeah, see, right?
That thing.
And we just both sounded like, oh, we're on.
Imagine us doing an entire episode
where we record all of our parts individually,
our intro banter, our news.
Yeah, we'll be like Bluey's parents.
The actors that played Blue's parents
didn't meet for two years into the show.
Oh, it's fantastic. I love that.
Yeah, and I guess in the animation world,
that's kind of common, but...
That's common, yeah.
And then there's no third thing that I was going to tell you.
That's it for that.
So instead of telling you anything else about that,
oh, I got to find out if we got some...
I need a clip for the...
this. Let's see. Okay. Okay.
I don't know. It's a foodie. How about this?
Uh-oh. Almost washed your food down.
All right. We've got a few items from Mike Picholich. Blueberry Pie Oreos, Apple Pie, Allamode
Oreos, which is a weird idea because normally that requires heat. As well as these pizza
snacks slash cheddar snack things called Pop-ums. Never heard of these.
Okay. I mean, both blueberry pie and
And apple pie would require heat.
Are you talking about the alamode?
The all the mode part, the ice cream part.
That's ice cream, yeah.
Yeah, so when you have...
That requires cold, man.
Well, no, I mean, it requires, like, something to be hot, and then the...
Like, the pie has to be hot, right?
Gotcha.
I see what you're saying, to enjoy the ice cream on top.
Okay.
I assume so.
I don't know.
Do people eat cold pie with cold ice cream?
I would.
I mean, I would.
I'd have no problem with eating anything.
You put a scoop of ice cream on top, make it all a mode.
Yeah.
Now that you say it, I guess I wouldn't mind either.
I just don't think I ever have.
Let's start at blueberry.
Why not?
Yeah, sounds good.
Never tried these before.
Blueberry Oreo.
Listen, I love the rip open from the top, from the front packaging.
Shit, I forgot and opened it wrong.
Oops.
All right.
There we go.
Oh, look at that.
Like, it's a dark, this center man is a dark purple.
Yep.
Look at that.
It's like our own little grimace squish in there.
It is.
Yeah.
All right.
I'm going to look at it before I eat it.
Smurf jizz or something.
Oh, look at that even more so.
Look at how blue that is.
Wow.
Yeah.
And they're always off center.
Get your shit together in a biscuit.
I mean, you know, it's, they're probably putting in the center, but then when they squish the, you can't, it's, it's chaos theory when you push the other cookie.
Yeah.
It's, it's Jeff Goldblum.
See, see where the filling goes for this, for this one?
Now look on this other cookie.
Oh, shit.
These are good.
Oh, I'm screwed.
shut this thing up.
Oh, what cereal?
What cereal does this remind me of?
Oh.
Well, now that you say that.
Holy cow.
Fruity Pebbles.
I'm getting a fruity pebbles out of that.
Are you?
I'm, boy.
I'm not a big fan of fruity pebbles.
I think I've only ever had it once.
There is something.
It's good, though.
Is there a, is there a?
Maybe too sweet, but.
Crunchberries, Matuba's saying?
Oh, maybe that's it.
Crunch berries? I could see that.
I remember they sold, do you remember when they had Captain Crunch and then they would put
Crunchberries in it? And then later they had a Crunchberry's only version.
Yeah. Oops, all Crunchberries.
Yeah. And that was, what were our parents thinking? Seriously, do you even put that on the
table? Like, that is not food. Man, what a, what a nightmare. All right.
Do you think, though, in the grand scheme of things, oops, all crunch berries had more sugar than
just regular Captain Crunch with Crenchberries.
It's not like the,
it's not like the orange pieces
were less sugary.
It's actually a good point.
I guess they were,
hmm, I don't know.
I have to do the math.
I mean,
I always felt like,
it's just because they're all these red balls,
it felt like you were breaking the law.
Right.
But maybe we weren't.
Maybe it's the same material,
just different shape,
different color.
And I think we looked at it as like,
oops,
all lucky charm is marshmallows,
but it's really like,
oops we just moved all the sugar into berries yeah which really may have been an oops here at the plant
we screwed up it could have been yeah now we have to market didn't you get a lucky charm's box that
was all marshmallows i did that was a goof that was an actual goof and i got both money back from
the company and ate a bunch of it so even better all right we doing the alamo yeah let's do the
allemode so this is apple pie alamode like i said i've never had a pie uh pie with ice cream that
where the pie wasn't hot so let's see if this still lands on me this looks like
is the most monotone looking cookie i've ever seen it really is the filling and the cookie are
exactly the same color so it's like you feel like you're watching a sepia tone cooking show
oh i smell it i can smell them all right here we go oh you know what this this is even better
than the blueberry right here yeah i'm a little surprised by this this is good the little finish
the little um apple finish oh yeah
Damn it.
I'm done. I'm done. I mean, I'm done for is how I mean.
Yeah, that's what you mean.
Yeah.
Now, let's chase it down with something savory.
We got these pop-a-monds, baked snack crackers, pizza.
It claims it has one-third cup of veggies in this.
Mm-hmm.
And it comes from Simple Mills.
I've never heard of them.
I've never heard of the snack, so this is going to be good.
That's really funny.
It's really close to General Mills.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's almost like a-
a synonym of simple, like a general, you know, some...
Yeah.
Some general simple mayhem.
Someone's like they're like, uh, trolling them or something.
Kind of, yeah, right.
Here we go.
Oh, mine didn't open the way I'd like it too.
Oh, that smells like artificial wonder.
I'm cutting this baby.
Yeah, they're kind of hard to open.
Yeah, that pulling apart, the, the traditional method of just yanking the bag apart from the seam is not working.
Now, these are diamond shaped.
Okay.
They almost look like...
Oh, they're like little diamond goldfish.
Yeah, there you go.
Like goldfish.
I'll bet these are almost...
Are you doing the cheddar?
You're doing the...
That's the pizza one?
This is the pizza one.
Okay.
All right, here we're going.
Looks like dog food.
Yeah, it does.
Well, see, these are perfect.
Oh, that's good.
Yeah.
But how many calories is this?
Well, forget the calories, Scott.
It's one-third of a cup of veggies.
130 calories are 44 crackers.
I can do that.
44 crackers.
That's a lot of crackers.
for 100 calories.
Yeah.
This might be the new jam.
Ooh, they're very good.
They are really good.
All right, now we'll see if cheddar has...
Cheddar sounds boring, but maybe it'll beat it.
Maybe.
All right, I got to open another one of these.
I'm so glad people aren't making us eat, you know, shit like...
Thicken liquid?
Squid guts or something like that.
You know, like, we do all these news stories about, oh, Van Lewin has a brand-new ice cream
flavor that is goat anus.
Here, let's send a...
Send a tub of it to Scott and Brian.
Dude, these are good, too.
These are the cheddar.
Oh, my gosh, you're fast.
Let's still get this thing open.
There we go.
It's only got one gram of sugar for the whole box.
I could eat these.
This is good.
This is light, too.
Yeah, these are good, right?
Ingredients, organic butternut squash, tapioca starch, arrowroot,
organic sunflower oil, organic red bean,
organic cheddar cheese.
Organic non-fat, milk and a bunch of other stuff.
None of this looks like, nothing's like monosudium glutamate names.
Right, no, it's all, maybe that's why they're simple mills.
Because it's all ingredients you can trust.
And it's out of Chicago, resist ice.
All right, anyway.
Yeah, I mean, the way they present their ingredients on the side is actually refreshing.
Like, it's a, you know.
He gave us the most artificially flavored things in the history of the world
with these.
Right.
And then Gabe followed it up with something with a bunch of natural shit in it.
I like it.
Yeah.
But just the fact that, yeah, no kidding.
That's great.
All right.
I'm in.
I'm both these.
They're great.
Corn free, grain free, gum free.
So might even be, does that mean gluten?
Probably not gluten free.
Probably not gluten free.
Although they kind of have.
Well, if they're grain free, aren't they automatically gluten free then?
I would think, right?
Doesn't gluten come from flour?
I thought so.
Flower is a grain?
Let's see, rosemary extract, organic onion, garlic acid.
Teppioka starch.
See, I don't know if you get gluten from other starches than besides.
Corn-free, grain-free, gum-free.
That's the new law firm I'm starting.
Corn-free, grain-free.
You'll get no corn.
No grain.
And no lieutenant gum.
Saved you all the trouble.
There you go.
Lieutenant gum.
Fantastic. We have time for a news story. And it's coming at you now. Brian, what is going on with the news? Who's brought it to us today?
It's brought to you by Rock Puzzles Monthly. I'm holding in my hands right here. Oh, people are trying to freeze frame and see what this is. That's all right. You can freeze frame it. It's really the code guide. This is a sheet I put together yesterday. Side one is, you know, your alphabet as it translates to Braille.
the NATO alphabet, binary, ternary, hex, semaphore.
The back, this is where the magic happens,
this is a braille solver.
So like you go left for dash, right for dot,
and it takes you right through.
So if you get something that's like,
give me a random like dot-dash-dot whatever combo.
Oh, dash dot dot combo?
Yes, like a Morse code.
Give me a random.
Dot, dot, dot, dot, dash, dot dot dot dot dot.
Okay. I'm thinking like talking like one letter.
Oh.
Like a common, no more than four, a combination of four dots and dashes.
Okay.
You're giving me like a sentence.
Dot dot dash dot.
All right.
Dot, dot, dash dot the letter F is what you just gave me right there.
Oh, did I really?
That quickly I was able to find.
That's awesome.
A Morse code thing for that.
I would have never.
You got the peg pen cipher some before.
So this is going up on the Patreon today for folks to download and start getting familiar with

Stephen King.
did a thing that made me laugh, so I'm going to talk about it real quick.
Yeah.
He played Mambo number five so much that his wife threatened to divorce him.
One more time, and I'm going to effing leave you is the quote.
She's right to do so.
Once, two times is one time too many.
I kind of agree.
Lou Begis, Mombone number five, 1999, Smash.
I can't believe it's that old.
Smash hit the top of the charts in most global territories.
It's one of the most love it or hate it songs of all time.
I think we'd air more on the hated side if I was...
Yeah, yeah.
Here at TMS, we're team hated.
Yeah, it's a really bad song.
It's fun to play for Monica when she's here.
But anyway...
It's fun to play for Monica and playing the instrumental version
or the original, the version that Lou Bega just added words to
for Brian Dunaway back in the game show days.
Oh, yeah.
We're using that.
God, we even did that.
Yeah.
Stephen King's wife definitely falls for the latter camp or falls in the latter camp.
The author recently spoke to Rolling Stone to promote his latest novel,
novel called Holly. That's exciting, by the way, because that's the character from the outsider.
Holly, oh, I forget her full name. And it was, Cynthia Revo played her in that outside.
Yeah, I remember the series. I'd forgotten her character name. Wow.
She's awesome. That character is awesome. So it's a continuation of that character. That's cool.
Yeah, she's like a, think of it as like a, not James Bond, but more like a, well, she's like a detective, basically, right?
Right.
It's all the crimes because she's kind of connected to stuff.
she in particular kind of she connects all the way back to dark tower stuff there there's a bunch
of shit there oh i like when he does that because penny wise was in a bunch of not penny wise
it was um who is it that was like carried through a lot of his different oh um uh the guy from
the stand uh the man in black in is the same guy i forgot his name in the stand though i've
read the stand five times i know what's wrong with me anyway yes correct you are correct
about that yes if he has that character uh he says was this true and he says oh yeah big time he
said when he asked about these rumors they are true my wife threatened to divorce me i played that
song a lot i had the dance mix the author continued i love these extended play things and i played
both sides of it and one of them was this total instrumental and i played that thing until my wife
just said one more time and i'm going to eff and leave you king must have stopped because they're
still married he's still married to tab of the kings since 1971 uh and so everything's okay
Oh my gosh. That's funny. I mean, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's borderline, uh, torture. Yeah.
Listening to, you know, putting it on once and then, you know, a few hours later made putting on again, but playing the EP where it's five different versions of the same song, one right after another, you don't do that. Not even, you know, not even with my favorite stuff, would I do that to somebody.
Yeah, I wouldn't do that either, even in my least, at least worst enemy or something.
Your worst enemy. It's like whether we do it, we're trying to smoke the talent.
band out of a cave or whatever we blare mutil in there this would be just as good do this there is
some oh i forgot to see where it was but this was almost an article on daily music headlines but
there's a shopping center defunct empty shopping center that is playing music to make make it inhospitable
for the unhoused people who have taken up residence inside this empty shopping center oh my god
Gosh, well, I got new.
And I wanted to see what, what music they were playing to chase them out.
I'll have to look that up later.
Because we've got a new one for you, if you want.

All right, guys, it's time for this.
Here's a tangent for him.
Be careful.
May cause drowsiness.
Joining us right now is one Dan Patrice.
He is the tabletop lord around here as far as I'm concerned.
And he's here to talk about some tabletop experiences.
Dan, what's up?
Greetings programs.
Hey, man.
I like to think to myself, maybe he has a little bit of a minstrel, you know, playing the dulcet tones of,
because I don't want to be.
I'm not a lord of any.
know, I'm just a little, just here to help everybody to guide them through things.
That's right. You're like a, you're like a DM, but in the flesh, you know?
Yeah. I guess with a, with a side of medicine, you know, with a side of medical in there.
You know, it's my, my extra levels. Oh, a couple levels in pharmacy.
I'm glad you brought that out because I had a quick question for you that you may or not be able to answer.
Maybe it's too early or whatever, but now we got a bunch of, I don't know if they're enacted, but tariffs, threatened tariffs in the pharmaceuticals,
world of so things like ozempic uh which is i think comes from fiser which is a danish company i think
yeah i think most of almost all um i'm sorry i didn't mean to cut your question off no no go ahead
i'm just curious if any of the if you've seen any machinations from this like prices suddenly
going up in anticipation for this or you know generics taking over or whatever i mean generics should
always take over to be honest because they're already you know you really should be always taking a generic
almost anything because all these companies are basically, you know, I've said it in the past.
They're usually owned by the brand name companies anyway and many of the other brand name,
like, I may put out a drug that lost its patent and then Brian puts out another drug,
a lot of brand name drugs, but he wants to make some money too. So he's going to actually
make my drug as a generic, you know, as kind of like a little side piece there to get some more
money. So there's a lot of that where, you know, everybody's eating her own tail or whatever
the heck you want to call it. Most of the things, there's so many,
So much production that's done over here, I don't know what to, honestly, I don't know off top of my head what the percentages of things that we import.
I don't think it's that many.
I think we export a lot of things because, you know, when things are getting close to going at a date, we just ship them on over to other countries and let them, you know, use them.
Or there's a lot of things.
You know, it's such a worldwide business.
And what's interesting, too, is so many drugs are used as other brand names in other countries where they may take a brand name that's, you know, generic drug X here.
here, but that generic drug is made as a different brand name in another company, a country,
and it might actually even be the other drug.
Like, I know a lot of this is really confusing.
It's just nuts how the rest of the world works with this.
And I'm pretty sure most of what we get is here anyway.
What we really need is now years ago, I'm not, this is not trying to get political at all
anyway.
Years ago, they kind of put a cap on insulin the first time Trump was in office.
And then that went away.
And then they reenacted the same cap under.
Biden. So we're trying to get a cap on insulin. The problem is the press has a field day with
this crap. You can't ever get the real, you know, the real story because people are always like,
well, we're not really getting the same insulin because it's this. No, it's the same insulin.
It's the same stuff. And it is just fine to use when you buy it over the counter or you buy
the cheaper version to the cap. All this really does need. We really need to get a handle on prices in
this country for sure. Because, listen,
I know it's expensive to make some of the stuff, but a lot of the prices are inflated
generally for operating costs and funding the next drugs and stuff.
There's no way drugs like OZempic, and this is my opinion, again, be mad at me all you want.
In my opinion, there's no reason why OZepic, Vitoza, Wagoe, there's no reason why that stuff
needs to be the cost to a pharmacy over $1,000 a month.
No, that's ridiculous.
No, there's, all that goes into your price, I mean, to your price as well and to insurance,
this is why insurances aren't covering them.
It's just ridiculous, the price of all this crap.
And, I mean, granted, we're overusing this a lot.
I mean, I see people all the time.
If there's somebody who their BMI is like 22 and they're 130 pounds, they should not be trying to lose weight.
I don't care what your self-image is.
That's not a case for OZEPA.
This is what's happening in the industry.
And that's what's the real problem is the overuse where then other people who actually have problems and are trying to work out and are trying to lose it.
or using things like OZepic for their A1C.
They can't get it because Joe Schmoe down the road thinks they're too big at
130 as, you know, in their BMI is not bad.
They don't need to be taken.
Like, again, the original point of the damn thing was for diabetic treatment.
And then it turned out to be, oh, this stuff's really good at losing weight, period.
So then it took on this fad quality and then everybody wanted it.
Now, you know, people with a lot of money, just buy it and it's not a problem.
Everybody else can't get insurance to cover it.
And then there are people with the actual problem that was designed for who can't freaking get it.
It's really annoying.
If you get me wrong, I'm not poo-pooing the use of this to lose weight.
That's not what my intention is.
My intention is poo-pooing it for doctors that are actually, when a patient comes in and says, I want this.
And they don't really need that.
Doctors just write it anyway.
Yeah.
Sometimes, you know, so many times.
And I look at chart notes all day long for stuff like this.
And it just drives me crazy because no doctor wants to lose a patient because you don't want it.
Now, I don't know if this, the one thing I'd love to see, again, hopefully this is not political.
But why do we have drug commercials?
Nobody needs drug commercials.
I hate it.
You don't need them.
Yeah.
I hate them.
I think you've got the problems.
Like, it makes you feel like, oh, God, I think I have that problem.
Instead of what you should be doing, which is going to a doctor saying, I have this, you know, this symptom, oh, you need this drug.
Cool.
Let me hook me up.
Yeah.
There's so, aren't there, in Europe?
I don't think you can do.
I don't think. No, New Zealand and America, I think, are the only two countries that have drug commercials, if I remember correctly.
Yeah. The rest of the world agrees with you, Dan. Everyone else thinks you're right, by the way.
Oh, good. Because, you know, you go to your doctor and you're like, hey, I want to use this.
Trances are, that doctor already knows what you should be or if you can use that. Just because you saw it, and they made a really good pitch to you during the evening news, doesn't mean that you should be on that drug.
Right. Right.
Anyway, I'm glad people agree with me.
I try not to get hot button, but that stuff just drives me crazy.
I see I'm really commercial for it.
Well, plus, you know, it's in your wheelhouse and you see it all the time.
And I think you're a good source for this stuff.
So I'm glad we can bring it up here.
Now, what's really important, though, is what you do with your leisure time on the weekends with your friends.
So that's what we're going to do.
Dan's the tabletop man.
He's going to give us some recommendations.
We're starting here with this Calypso, right?
Is this the one?
Yeah, I want to start with Calypso.
So I don't do this all the time.
And now, again, I've gotten into this habit.
Maybe I'm just old.
I need to preface everything I say.
I apologize to everybody for bringing Kickstarter.
I like to every now and end.
I do it on the Munchkin Land show that I do, which is news on major spoilers,
where I like to bring people Kickstarter.
And I don't do that a lot in here.
But today I thought there were some things that I wanted to bring to people.
So if I cost anybody money, I'm sorry.
If anybody thinks this is bad that I'm bringing up things for you to spend money on
or I'm not really necessarily aligning myself with any companies,
I just like these things
and I wanted to bring them to the masses
and I hope everybody enjoy them.
So first up...
I think there's any reason not to
because whether you buy it from a store
or buy it from Kickstarter,
you're supporting the developers.
Yeah, it's all good.
So this is, and I will say some good things
about pretty much everyone,
I know almost every one of these companies
and they're all great people too.
So first up, we've got Calypso.
This is from Inside Up Games.
Connor McGoey is the owner of Inside Up Games.
He's a great, great person.
And he's a, he's Canadian.
and a.
Hey.
Sweet.
This is a really cool game.
So I got to play this back in Adam,
which was the tabletop kind of influencer convention I went to back in March.
This is really cool.
So this is a game where you can play it, competitive, cooperative, and solo.
It plays a little bit different.
It's not the exact same game either way, which is really kind of cool.
And this basically takes place and kind of, we'll call it a water world for you there, Scott.
It's kind of a post-apocalyptic water world.
kind of flotillas. Now, on your turn, I don't think, I didn't talk about this last
time, did I? I don't think so. Okay, good. If I did, I apologize. So anyway, we're bringing
up you basically each round, you're going to be having these pieces. They're basically polyomino
pieces. They're kind of T pieces where there's three on top that go one way and then kind of three
to the middle. So it's a middle. It's a T. And you're going to be drafting some of these and you're
going to putting them on to your board. Now, as you place them, different, I'm sorry, you're going to
try to align same pieces, same colors and same basic symbols.
And as you have three next to each other, not in a line, basically to do three or more in a
square, you can then build something on top of it.
Now, each color has different types of buildings that you can build onto it and then just
basically how they trigger, whether they're getting you boats or getting you a meeple to
helps out as a worker or just scoring points and things like that or helping you to then
draft other pieces.
So you're basically using those to build out your big kind of.
your new settlement, so to speak, and then you're sending out boats to kind of fish and to rescue
people, things like that. What's really also cool about the production of this is that they've
come up with these boards. There's kind of a, it's kind of about halfway down or so. You'll see
kind of this hold fast components, this new thing they have where, you know, they're like magnetic
or something. This right here. It's kind of like, oh, not quite Velcro, but in almost that
fashion where it's the type of texture or type of surface that it is.
Is it like those, oh, those polyforms or something like that that we had as kids where
like you'd have a very slick plastic thing that would stick to another very slick plastic
thing.
Yeah.
It's really, really cool.
Now, I mean, granted, you can't flip it all the way upside down, I don't think, but
and you can kind of shake it a little bit.
Basically, it's designed so that if you bump the table, things are going to go flying,
which happens a lot of times when you have a lot of crap on your board.
And so that's a really cool thing.
This one is not, it's only a few days left, but they always have, you know,
you always have like the late pledges and stuff like that.
You can get in on this for just 54 US, just for the base game.
There's also a deluxe version for 118.
It's only a few days left, but this is a really good one.
And I have really good firsthand experience with this one.
The way you play kind of the co-op game is you take the board that you would have for solo,
you kind of flip them over and they all go together in kind of like a two-by-
to like four boards in the middle and then you have things that you have to do every round
kind of like goals you have to meet or else you have bad things happen to you so it's pretty
cool because the way the game plays now the big problem with uh cooperative games now i don't know
if you guys if brian you've ever had this scott i don't know if you ever played uh like things
like pandemic at all oh yeah love pandemic so the big problem that people complain about is
kind of the alpha player or just kind of that one d bag that's kind of trying to run until everybody
what to do. Like, that's the biggest problem with co-op games. And people are always trying to
figure out a way to not have that in games. I mean, obviously, I always say, just don't play
with d-bags like that. But you never know, like little old, you know, little old granny down the
road. All of a sudden, when you play a co-op game, you didn't realize it's just going to become
alpha player. You're right. Yeah. But anyway, this, this kind of, the way the game runs, it's not
really, it doesn't lend itself to having an alpha player. So it's a very, very fun game.
Cool. And I see there's a solo mode, which I feel like a lot of these.
These games now are just, like, making sure they include a way to play alone.
Oh, yeah, that's a real thing to do.
I always look for solo modes and games because I play a lot of games.
Solo, I don't know what that says about me.
Maybe I just like gaming too much.
Maybe I have no friends or no life, but I love solo games.
Sure.
Sure, sure.
No, that's awesome.
Cool.
I'll run through a couple of these others real, real fast for you.
The next one I put in there is Return to Dark Tower Expeditions.
The reason why I really love this one, obviously not only does.
Restoration games put out a lot of good stuff.
This one is like kind of a reprint in a way.
So if people missed Return to Dark Tower to the first one,
they're putting out an expansion,
but you can also get in on it if you want to get the base game,
plus the expansion.
And there's ways to just get the expansion.
I think there's other ways to get some of the other expansions there.
You can get all in.
There's a lot of ways to get out on there.
This game is great.
So if you're old, like the three of us,
you may remember the dark,
return to dark tower or dark tower when we were kids it was just fundamentally just ahead of its time
now this is great yeah i love that look at the tower on this thing i'm actually thinking i'm going to
pick up the uh the expansion the 45 dollar one like the little expeditions basic because i've
obviously already got return to dark tower and we freaking love that it is so you use that with the
ipad and it just walks you through everything there's no like oh what do we have to do now wait what's
Who's doing this?
It's so well supported by the iPad that it makes it such a great game.
Well, in the words of Dan Patrice, that sounds like a Scott game.
I could just play it.
Yeah.
It actually, the learning is not a Scott game, but the playing is definitely a Scott game because the iPad runs you through everything that happens.
Because it's basically another co-op game, which you against, I think there may be some competitive modules to it.
I can't remember.
I've only played the co-op version.
But what's really cool is so you have this task.
that's on and like Brian mentioned it's connected to your iPad you basically take these
skulls and when you drop when it's the end of your turn you have to drop a number of
skulls into the top and it just automatically triggers the iPad and things happen and all
some coals are just dropping on the board noise out all of everybody yeah the ruins are dropping
oh it's so cool it is it is ridiculous how much fun it is nice nice nice what else you
uh this next one uh is kind of an IP game and i'll be honest i know
everyone's going to yell at me i don't know i have never played don't starve but there's don't starve the
board game i know what it is that obviously but don't starve the board game just came on kickstar it's
already made 2.7 million it's insane uh it's not by a designer that i know about i have watched a few
videos and some people that i trust have said it it's a ton of fun to play especially if you like the
ip the game kind of does shine through like the ip shines through the game uh and this one is
It's a little pricey as far as the deluxe with $1.29 as well, but you can get in a standard place for $79, but there's a lot of really cool stuff in this base box.
Are you guys the actual, yeah, the actual video game I played at a shit time with my kids.
Yeah, I really, really like Don't Star.
It's a good game.
Yeah.
Clay Entertainment's one of my favorite game developers anyway.
They've never made a game I don't like Mark of the Ninjas, just like one of my all-time favorite games ever made by anybody.
They got a new one going right now called Something.
rot or rot something. Anyway, they're great. Anyway, I'm all about these guys. So the fact that this is
apparently succeeding wildly at $2.7 million collected so far is very good. Yeah, it'll be
interesting to see. And the only thing, so this makes me laugh. Now, listen, I know how production
goes. I know you've got to send things off and they're generally made in China because it's just
most possible effective and they do the best work over there. Then it's got to be shipped. But this
isn't going to be delivered until March of 27. Now, what I've seen some of the
really copies that people are using it looks pretty damn done and it looks pretty good when i see some
of the you know previews so i know you got to ramp up and they're already made let's see they've
already have 15 000 almost 16 000 backers as of this recording so i mean that's huge print
run so you're looking at a 20 to 30 000 unit print run which takes a while but uh then it's got to
get on so they say the slow boat from from china which is true because it's got to get on those big
shipments which uh you know there's big uh boats that come over and it takes forever because they
got to go so slow across but um but anyway so that's just that's just kind of one of those
things where uh it just takes forever when you're investing in something like that but i really
would love to see how this one plays once it is out uh again you can play this one player
and it's going to have the minis man oh yeah the minnies look great they look great this has a very
specific art style it's very good if you have people over to play this just make sure you
you serve snacks yeah don't starve
Yeah, why were you going to start?
And, you know, Brian, make sure you paint those minis, too.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
They'll write in line behind the other non-exaggeration 300-some that I still have to paint.
That's right.
Well, and actually, so it's funny to say that because I'm pretty sure the minis come in like the deluxe,
but the regular one has these acrylic.
I think the acrylic standees look just as good as the minis.
They totally do, yeah.
Yeah.
Nice.
Acrylic feels so good that it's like, well, I mean,
If you're going to have that, that's not a bad alternative.
I've already got a gazillion minis.
I might as well save 50 bucks or 40 bucks
and just get the acrylic version
because it's going to look great on a table anyway.
Tell us about bagged and bearded.
Bearded.
I kept thinking bearded because my brain wants to...
I don't want to play that game.
I just went skin a max on us with a board game.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, if that was bearded, we'd have trouble.
But no, it's barreded.
Clearly a comic reference.
What's this thing about?
So occasionally I like to find these, the little game that could, or kind of like the newer companies out there.
This is a couple of game designers that put out a kind of a, this is very much a based on comics.
So bagged and boarded, very much refers to comic collectors out there.
And this has a little bit of economic engine to it where you're kind of collecting comics and kind of as you're, you know,
they say that it's kind of even has economics with kind of a rummy style.
Again, once you learn the game, this is going to be very much be a Scott game for you as well.
There's going to be a lot of depth to it with kind of the economic version, but the rummy mentality of it.
So as you're kind of turning in, you know, sets of these comics, that's going to influence how much the price is.
So obviously, if the market's flooded with things, prices will change quite a bit.
And then if, you know, if Scott turns in three of the same comic, that changes the price.
Now, Brian may be sitting on one of that comic and he may get a good price for his last remaining one.
So it looks really cool the way that, you know, you're kind of action programming.
The art is fantastic.
love it uh it's really cool i love this like they've even gone with like all the white backing
uh of the cards the paper is like newsprint style 70s comics yes kind of that four color process
gorgeous spot color stuff i freaking love it so much yeah they've got a million different
levels but the regular level that you'll want to get in on it's just the 65
level now that's kind of be there's a lot of good stuff in a box and the bits look really good that
you're you're getting in on um again so this is kind of it's hard because when you're a newer publisher
and you're newer to kickstarter and newer to the whole scene pricing is one of the hardest things
in a world because you don't want to go broke on shipping and production and everything else so
you don't want to undercut ever anything you know you undercut yourself uh so i mean i think
this is a fair price for what you're getting on this one uh you know looks good so i've got uh
i got the links to scott for all of these i'll just mention
a preview that obviously i there's not really a preview out for the i mentioned the elder scrolls
betrayal of the second era that uh that chip thurys put out i've mentioned that in the past how good
that is they've set me one i've been playing it like crazy it's so damn good this is not a scott
game i'm sorry scott it's okay this is definitely a brian game because there is rules galore which is
fine i know you can handle rules but even when i have to refer back to the rule book and it's not to
say anything wrong with that when i have to when i'm in the middle of playing or if i've gone through
a couple of scenarios already and i'm still referring back which is fine it's just there's just a lot
going on which says a lot for how much fun and in the fact that i love it that much
their their new one is going to be coming any any you know any week now i know it's supposed to be
either october or november that they're putting it out i just wanted to mention that one again
but uh rove is uh rove anchor point and rove reprint now rove when you search on bdg there's
two different roves there's one that's a small kind of wild game and then there's another bigger
version. Now, when there was Gloom Haven and Frost Haven, there was a gentleman who put out kind of a
fan expansion for Gloom Haven. I think it was, oh, it's Crimson Skies, I think it was what it's
called. I'm pretty sure this is the same guy who then made his own game. Now, if you look at this
particular campaign, you will see that even a base game of Rove, you could see that it's very
heavily Gloom Haven influenced. You could see just by the cards and stuff, how there's definitely
that influence from Gloomhaven, Frost Haven.
And what they're coming out with now is a game called Rove Anchor Point,
which to me, everything I've seen makes it look like Jaws of the Lion for Gloomhaven.
Brian, do you remember Jaws and the Lion where it's kind of like even light?
I actually still have Jaws at Lion after I sold my Gloomhaven to Gwen up at the T-shop, up at Phoenix Pearl.
So I kept Jaws of the Line because Tina's like, yeah, I'll play that one.
I'm not playing more anymore, F in Gloomhaven.
And it's so good because she had her fill
And Rove really learned a lot from
From Brost Haven, Gloom Haven, and from Jaws and Lion
So the regular game, Rove, all the maps are in a book
So you don't have to fumble through with the setup is a lot easier
The way it handles kind of the actions
Kind of makes it even a little bit easier

For instance, North Star Games sent us everything for nature, which was one of the hottest games of GenCon.
That's going to be up, I believe, on the wall.
I can't decide whether they can do wall or silent auction.
But anyway, that's kind of how we, what things we have in a wall.
We're just big, lots of items, and you buy as many of the dollar tickets for the exact item you want to try to win, things like that.

Brian, I'm going to play a phone call we got from Asuzu Dave.
Oh, no.
Is that the guy that lies all the time?
Yeah.
And it's ironic that the call is converted to AI voice on the site because that's also kind of a trick, you know.
By the way, just so nobody thinks I'm slandering one of our listeners, there used to be a set of commercials in the 80s featuring a character named a Suu Dave who the thing was he was constantly, he would basically bizarre a world lie about everything.
He was professional liar.
Yes, exactly.
And I don't know what happened to Asuzu Dave,
but we love those ads.
That was the best campaign,
and I don't even think Asuzu does ads anymore.
I don't know what they do anymore.
I don't even think there's Asuzu's in America anymore.
Are they somewhere else maybe?
I don't know.
Are they gone?
They're out of here, right?
I think they're out of here, yeah.
Well, here's the call about DJ Bueller from Asuzu Dave.
He's back, everybody.
Here you go.
A few episodes back, Brian mentioned a serious XM show called
Saturday Night Safety Dance with DJ Bueller
and how he could save and replay the shows later.
I like the show also,
so I looked online to see if they were available anywhere.
I could not find them,
but I learned that apparently all the safety dance shows
on Sirius XM are very old.
Sirius XM just replays them.
Brian, if you are interested,
DJ Bueller streams on Twitch, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
There is also a Patreon to download the shows.
All right, there you go.
I love the tone of that.
I do, too.
What a great voice to pick for this.
It's just like, you know, like Richard Attenborough.
It puts me in my place about Sirius X-M.
That's really cool.
All right.
So that's what they play on in series is just reruns.
Apparently so.
I had no idea that it's just reruns, but, uh, freaking figures.
I mean, really, they're all old songs anyway.
They're all 80s songs.
Uh, so no surprise there, but, uh, oh yeah, and Asuzu, it's Joe Asuzu.
Joe Asuzu, yeah.
Keep your, well, actually, just yourselves for that one.
Exactly.
If you've already started type you one, uh, delete.
Delete, delete, delete.
Because we're talking way back like, where's the beef era?
This is David Leisure, who I think had a sitcom thing for a while, too.
Mm-hmm.
I think it came from.
his popularity as Joe Asuzu, right?
I think so, yeah, yeah.
David Leisure. Is that his real name?
Come on. David Leisure. I'm going to go look.
See if that is, yeah. If that is your real name.
Oh my gosh, he was actually born David Russell Leisure.
I love it. That's a great name.
Yeah, he's 74 now. Thrice divorced, two children.
And was in Empty Nest. That's the one, empty nest.
Empty Nest with Richard Mulligan.
Yep. He was an airplane one and two.
He briefly was in 2013's dancing on a dry lake.
Sure.
And that's all he's done since.
So, well done, Joe Asuzu.
Oh, no, that's not true.
He was in the Goldbergs and the Young and the Restless.
Oh, really?
Okay.
So he's done newer stuff.
Yeah, he's still around.
So all those wives had their leisure time is what they had.
I'm sure this was a stunt casting because he played Captain Roger in the episode called Airplane.
So that makes sense to me.
Gotcha. That would make sense.
Well, there you have it. Thank you for your message.
And if you'd like to keep those coming to us, everybody, voicecast.

In the meantime, it's time for us to play a song.
Brian, do you have one?
Oh, was I supposed to, was, did I?
Yes, I do.
And I didn't have my notes pulled up because I was putting links in the quicktms.
