If there's one thing that I know, it's never to mess with mother nature, mother-laws, or mother-freaking Ukrainians. I got a great big box of counterfeit beanie babies over here. The Morning Stream. Sometimes I can and sometimes I can. Who gives a damn? Hello, everybody, and welcome to TMS. It is Wednesday, October 8th, 2025.

I'm Scott Johnson. That is Brian Ibit. Hello. I am very tired this morning. And I couldn't even tell you why. I don't even know why I'm so tired. Oh, really? Did you sleep all right? I think so.

I didn't wake up in the night. Didn't even have to pee. I kind of just slept through the night. And I'm just so damn tired. I don't know what it is. Sometimes if there's like a high pressure, thing coming in i get i get i get sleepy uh and so and there is a storm we had another storm coming so it's probably that we we have some stuff coming ourselves so yeah it doesn't uh man

it doesn't surprise me um i woke up in the middle of the night watched an episode where uh oh was the one where fraser almost gets the girl uh oh shit yeah i remember that very specific one that they had on that show yeah it's uh right now it's he's got a long term relationship relationship or multi-episode relationship with Amy Brennerman, Brennerman, Brenneman. Brenneman? Yeah. Brenneman. I think that's right.

But balancing her and, oh my gosh. How am I forgetting her name? B.B. Newark. Virginia Madsen. Like he's basically, you know, he's committed to the relationship with Amy Brenneman, but he's still thinking about Virginia Madsen. And how can he not? I think we all have a crush on Virginia Madsen. Yeah.

And no one, no one in a local radio market with a tiny show once a week on a weekend or whatever it is makes as much money as Frazier Crane did. Right. I think he, I think it was daily, wasn't it? Was it daily?

I don't know. I don't know how it works. I think it was daily, but still, I mean, it's, you know. Yeah. It seemed a little out there.

Although it was, I don't see, I don't think it was like nationally syndicated. It's not like he's not. No. No, it was a local Seattle. market and uh i think that was some fakery bullshit are you going on there yeah mason gregory says have

you seen the laura lini episodes oh i like i'm pretty sure i have you probably have yes because that was i think early seasons too i think so was she uh she was she was a love interest but wasn't she also a psychiatrist or something or oh i can't remember oh you know what no the thing with amy branneman ended he he he's on to uh rita wilson tom hanks uh wife right now why is that perfect casting why does that work exactly perfect casting yes that's weird um i did have a weird dream though oh please tell me i had a dream about um oh that's weird sorry my spreadsheet just went red and then went back to normal um i uh i had a dream about about those lab boo boo things oh sure i don't even know what the eff they are i've seen them a couple of times i know they're

like, you know, it's blind box opening. I know what it is. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't understand. Okay, first of all, I don't understand why I dreamt about it. That makes no sense. Why am I dreaming about that? That's the weird part. Yeah. Because I don't have anything to do with them. I've maybe seen him two, three times on some shorts or something. Somebody boasted. Sure. Some

TikTok thing. Oh my God. I'm going to open this one. Oh, my God. It's the rare rainbow fart mechanism. LeBoooo. I love this one. Yeah. I cannot get my head around why anyone gives a crap about those things. Now, I know beanie babies were big. At one At the point, humanity had pet rocks.

I get that we do dumb shit. We had cabbage patch dolls. You know, I mean, there's a... None of those were blind box, though, right? Like, you know, you knew which cabbage patch doll you were buying. You knew which pet rock you were buying. You knew, you know, the whole blind box thing is the... What were the gizmo?

Gizmo-looking things? Furbies. Furbies. Furbies. And Furbies didn't have a blind box aspect, I don't think, either. No, I knew exactly which furbo. I got and I still have it, but he's been skinned.

Oh yeah, right. I love the skinned ones. They're so cool. And his battery is just slowly dying, so he's like, oh. Yeah. I follow somebody who do, I don't remember their name or I would love to recommend this to everybody, but this guy all he does is by

toys, sometimes famous, like Tickle Me Elmo and one of the Furbies and these kinds of things. He hooks him up to hooks their battery areas. is up to a some kind of box that increases electricity.

Limiter. Oh, increases. Okay. Yeah. So what he does is he starts it off at standard.

And so it's, yeah, he-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h- whatever. And then he'll turn it up a little bit and it'll go, I'm a little kind of speed up. Like more manic and more.

Yeah. And by the time he's done, he's cranked this thing up and the thing is like having an exorcism. Just like freaking out. Is there smoke coming out of its ears like one of the gremlins and,

you know, in part two. when they I mean it eventually yeah it eventually dies right and I don't know if you ever I can't think if I've ever seen any of it burn

but it's always just whatever the thing does yeah it does it at a billion times the speed it should and sometimes they move so if it's like a little toy that's like oh like I know what he did one of those

those the monkeys that do the symbols oh yeah yeah he did one of those and by the time this thing was done it was like flipping all over the place and like me me me me me me me and make in the most horrible high, high-pitched noise. Yeah, because after it bangs its symbols together, it goes,

it was awesome. It was awesome. You still haven't watched the Stephen King, the new version of the monkey. No, I want to, though. It's just the monkey, right, I think? Yeah, but it's monkey shines kind of thing, right? Isn't it? Wasn't the monkey shines the original?

I didn't know this was based on that. If it is, that's awesome, because I love the story of that. I don't know if that's the case. I know it's based on another one of his early stories, but... Let's see. Twin Brothers find a mysterious wind-up monkey series of outrageous deaths, blah, blah, blah. Does it say anything about King here? I didn't...

If that's the case, I'm... Oh, that's the Oz Perkins, the Osgood Perkins guy. That did Nick Cage thing that I was kind of meddling on, but I wanted to see more of what that dude could do. Right. Yeah, there we go. 1980 horror short story by Stephen King, first published. and booklet included in gallery magazine in 1980 gallery the the porn magazine i think oh shit really yeah think so i don't remember that say yeah that's a yeah gallery was uh listen i had a stepdad

who collected gallery magazines and those were those always felt a little bit raunchier than playboys oh yeah i'll bet but if you like uh what's what was it was like gallery and we he had he had playboys he had Gallery and we, no penthouses. What was it? Had to go to John McEchran's house for his dad's penthouses. You could have gone to my, he could have gone to my uncle Joel's house for that. He had that,

I think we talked about it with Wendy before. He had that shit stacked underneath. Like, you just go to one of the bathrooms in the house, open up the towel drawer, and it's a stack of penthouses. Oh, God, really. Yeah, he was, he was a little pervy. I'm going to say that.

Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. So Monkey Shines, I guess, is a different thing. But there was an official hour long short film in 2022 and then the Osgood Perkins one in 2025 this year. But definitely. But not Monkey Shine, not related to monkey shines. Okay. But still a King, a King originated story. Still a King originated story. So look at Stephen King. Two of the better Stephen King adaptations came out this year. Yeah. The monkey and long walk. Having a good year, I think.

Yeah. He's always having a good year. Yeah. His wife, on the other hand, with that Mambo number five thing. That's right. Having a bad year. Yeah. Yeah.

Anyway, hey, I got some good news and some weird news. So the good news is, I think we found the source. The power company doesn't, didn't tell me this. But I think this is what's going on. The glitches I've had with power, I think are tied to the fact that out of nowhere with no one, after 10 years of a carrot in my face of saying it's not here yet it's not here yet the fiber deal google fiber's happening and it's happening like literally as we speak there's dudes out there digging a trench oh really oh nice and i first i went please tell me this isn't some transformer to then

connect somewhere else that isn't me and he says no no no this is you in fact by next week or so you should be able to just fire it up and go so i'm very excited about that oh you're lucky Yeah, I'm so excited. I waited for 10 years, they kept saying, yeah, fiber will be in this place. It'll either be CenturyLink or something. Somebody is going to do it. And nobody's done fiber here for 10 effing years I live. No, I'm sorry, 12 years I've lived here. And now finally, Google's like, yeah, we're coming in. Oh, man, I'm so excited. Yeah, CenturyLink fiber we've got over. What is their Xfinity fiber is what's available here. And I'm really thinking about Switch. at some point. I didn't know they had fiber with Xfinity. Different than their cable service?

They're actually, they released the fiber lines. Oh, wow. Yeah. We don't have that here. And it's funny because we can't get Infinity, I'm sorry, Xfinity cable internet on this side of this side of Indiana Street or Indiana Avenue, which is, it's just, it's really weird. I know. The way they do it is so arbitrary and strange.

I don't get it. Yeah. So I'm stoked about that. And here's how I found out about this. Yeah. I come upstairs and I look outside and I see this sign that says Google Fiber installed today. Keep these lanes clear.

Here's a truck. And there's a big sign saying, you'll get yours soon. And I'm seeing all this and kind of being overwhelmed. I'm like, I'm going to find the band with I deserve this life. Yeah. This is amazing. This is so great. And then I had to pee really bad.

So I went to pee. And then I came out after I had to pee. And I went running by the door where I thought I would go outside and look at, what they were doing and as I came around the corner there was a guy standing there with like some kind of bug sprayer right there like it's one of these doors with big see-through door yeah yeah just I walked right up and there's a man there with a bug spray we're doing our bugs and uh so every fall we do bugs because you know to get a great time to stop them from all coming in the house and all that shit right so we're doing that and he just he just kind of he gets a little shocked

I get a little shocked. He waves. I wave. And then he does like this. He points down. And I didn't know what he meant. He wants to you to look at his penis like the kid in back to the future three. You're closer than you think. Oh, no. Really? Because I was in such a hurry to pee and then go look at the Google fiber business. I forgot to zip up. Oh. So barn door wide open, baby. You were showing your own cable basically is, yeah. Yeah, I was showing my own fiber there. and uh i didn't know what he meant so he was saying oh your flies down i've never had anybody pedicue yeah never had anybody pantomime that your flies open but well you know you're not gonna hear him through the through the glass uh no and i didn't go out there until he left because i was so embarrassed i was like this is so dumb but then i did go out and i saw what they were doing and i'm

pretty sure that those power blips were part of this rollout oh could easily have been yeah i could be wrong that'll be nice yeah that's it always like you're always like you're you know, way more, it seems like it's way more reliable than cable, internet, or... Very, very consistent. It's got the consistency of DSL, but the bandwidth

of something much larger, right? Nice. And the shape of a bucket of water. And a shape of a hawk. Or whatever, she always got to be instead of a bucket. Anyway, so there's that. That's what's going on. We, ladies and gentlemen, have to do a thing. And there's really no getting around it. This thing must be done.

it must happen, and here comes the thing that makes it happen. Oh, well, I want to turn down. There we go. Boy, that was a nightmare if I'd stay up. Hey, everybody, look who it is. It's our old pal Brian Dunaway joining us from South Carolina to play a game of Tad Pooley Feud. Hello, Brian. What's going on, man?

Turn down for what? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Hi. Turn down for you, baby. What are you doing? Thank you. you survive and I just woke up from a freaking I haven't felt well so I slept in

and I was sleeping in and I had a nightmare and then I woke up and I said oh no it's time to do the show oh we're listening to you sound super chill now is your illness the reason that your voice sounds so weird in every Sora cameo that you're in it is it is I keep going no sicker yeah what I keep putting the description you know what's weird is that your your voice so the way they get your voice

on Sora is they just have you say a series of numbers and it captures all these syllables and it kind of works pretty well. Wait, that's how yours works? Mine's just to say Resees, PCs. Oh, there's your problem. There's the problem. Yeah, there's your problem. You had a bug. Somebody called Sam Altman,

let him know. But like when I hear when I hear Brian's voice in there even when it assigns it to the wrong person, I recognize it. My voice generally, I recognize it. Tom's, I recognize it. And Justin's, like everybody I'm doing this with, except you, sound like the person but for whatever reason you do not sound like you in there i don't know i'm gonna i'm gonna

try to redo it again i was hoping because if those who don't know when you saw a you do a cameo where you record your face uh you kind of kind of like the facial recognition on phones and stuff so you have to look to the side look up direction yeah and i don't i don't want to be i don't want my cameo to be the one where i'm all sick yeah makes sense yeah so i'm gonna try to re-record it but yeah i notice the same thing because i bit keeps every time i do want a cameo with I don't it can't tell the difference between me and Ibit so I made a time traveling I made a time traveling one it'll show you talking but it's using my voice or it yeah there's a great the great one of camp there's one all right I hate to do this now but I'm going to do it right now apparently I really don't hate doing this now but somebody named Nick MT maybe it's Nick MTN yeah use the prompt coverville drinks thick and liquid and he's only kept it in his drafts. Okay.

And I want him... I want him to release it like the Epstein files. Like, I think this needs to be seen. So I'm going to quickly put it on... Let's see if this works. I'll put it on screen here. Or is it better if I send you, send it to you, Scott. We look at it later in the show.

You can send... Send it to me. I can't send it because it's a draft. I have to show it this way. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, all right, here we go. or at least the thick and liquid do it oh my god why is it so thick he asks what that's

a horrible dude trigger warning for those who maybe haven't watched i don't know yeah i don't know what to make it release it make it public i'm fine with that one yeah sore complains all the time about upsetting stuff and i'm imprompting and it let that it let that draft but hold on did it It won't let you, oh, I guess that's somebody else's draft. I can't post it, yeah, it has to be, he has to be, uh, make your own. It lets you delete other people's drafts if you're not happy with it, but I guess you can't post them. I can't post it, but I'm happy, I'm happy with that. Oh, bad doors like that was not my favorite.

No, this one, this one looks like, uh, Shrek threw up on me. This one, oh, gosh. Oh, world's the Shrek money shot or something. Yeah, I was trying to get, yeah, go ahead. Have you guys been, uh, have you guys been, uh, adding stuff to your cameo allow not allow do this thing no that's why you always have a cat on you yeah i love it i guess there's a little thing too yeah yeah yeah there's always you can yeah cat's like sitting there on your 3d printer after it finishes a really weird 3d print of you

so you can say every time it shows me only put a cat always put a cat no no i said uh i have a have a pet black cat he's always with me yeah oh oh really oh is that new uh or has that always been I think it's always been there. They don't, I don't think they advertise it very well. So can I, can I put a thing, don't make me as fat as you did in like four of these? You can, you can, you can. You could tell it what you don't want and what you do want. Oh, that's a good idea.

It's slim me down, dude. That gets me wrong. Quit making me look like, there's one that somebody did. And I'm like, freaking rotund. Yeah. Done away, too. You're a little skinny eye and you look like the biggest dude in these. I'll allow it.

I need to put that in my writer. It's AI. Here's our rice one. Let's watch this together. That's a lot. Hold on. He's using my voice. It's not my voice either.

You can eat rice. Whoa. What? It turns into a telenovela for a second. I've never seen it look like that. I also love how it's got my ceiling and my blue lights. Yeah, it really wants to use your office. Look at your mic hanging there out of nowhere.

Just out of nowhere. just floating in midair might like a sky penis and whenever i do it i'm in my bathroom right is that where you took your video i must no i'm but i must have a bunch of stuff online where that's where a selfie happens because it keeps using my bathroom sometimes it pulls from your only oh that's true yeah yeah yeah yeah it's just feet though i just do feet that's all i do well anyway we should get going let's do this game yeah yeah yeah we better do this oh my gosh it is the tadpooly feud let's do it brian what do you got for us uh it's time to play the tadpooly I've surveyed the tadpole on some nerdy topics

and Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us. It's their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. We're going to add up all the points after the game and award a prize to the people you're playing for by proxy. Scott, you're playing for Jason G. Nice.

And get prizes but also support a show that you love so you know we can we can do the things that only our ai avatars can dream of that's okay we really want to go and do these things i like it um let's go

it is uh time to put your hands on your buzzers and uh get ready for this we ask 272 tadpoolers who is the best obscure character from the star wars movies and tv shows scott uh hammerhead I'm not going to get it. Damn it. It's obscure. Show me. Show me Hammerhead. Ah, shit.

I love him. I'm a huge fan. He's awesome. Moma Nadon was number 16. The Hammerhead guy is. That's his name. Oh, okay. People do know his name as MoMA hat nadon.

Brian, the floor's open for you. Ten answers. Get one of them. It's always a problem. If you don't know them, you don't know them. Like if they're so obscure. Yeah. Right.

Yeah. I'm going to say, Jar Jar Jar Bing. because I'm an asshole. Okay, asshole. Show me Misa on the charts. Yes, I knew it would be good points.

I knew it would be good points if it was up there. I think it's more that people wish he was obscure and not so prominent is the problem. Yeah. Oh, Jesus. This is going to be a lot of me going, that one character with the thing. Yes. Now, I will tell you both as a, as a. not really a hint but just to kind of keep things moving along that um of our top 11 including

the um the bonus one um like most of these are original you know original episodes episodes four five and six i got you yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly so if you if you stick to those i mean jar jar binks obviously is an outlier yeah yeah yeah but uh stick to you know you might not be you might not go wrong if you go with the original. I think that I would say also people like when you say obscure, they kind of, they may not think of the same things. But I think obscure like hardly ever mentioned. Like I could say something like Boba Fett.

Okay. Even though he's not obscure. I just for some reason I think he would just pull that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah. Show me Boba Fett. Boba Fett. Oh, okay.

So it's not that, not that. Okay, not that close. Yeah, that's, go more obscure than BobaFet, and you'll do a lot better. That said, Boba Fett was, he did make the list oddly enough. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's because now everybody is a huge Star Wars fan, so they kind of like, they know they're there, but they don't know much about them. 28th place was Boba Fett. Nice.

BobaFet. I'm going to do, I'm going to do Salacious Crum. Oh, that's good choice. Yeah, that little bad Show me Jabba's little shoulder puppet. That's awesome. On the board.

Wow. Didn't expect that. That's a good one. It gives you a good idea of where people's heads are at. Yeah. Obviously, low points, but but a good answer. Top answer.

The nub guy that goes, Oh, neon. Sure. The one, neon, no. Yeah, this name is not neon nub. It's not a neon nub. A neon noodle. I'm always getting this confused.

Yeah, and he slobbers, slobbers all the time. He looks like he's wearing a Hannibal Lecter ripped off somebody's face mask over the top part of his face. Yeah, slobbery idiot. He's the worst. Show me, Neon Numb. But boy, can he co-pilot the Millennium Falcon. That's right. He can't.

Man, I want to. Six points. Tie game now. Seven points for each of you. Nice. I'm starting a retro 80s band called Neon Nub. Neonnub. All right.

Well. Okay. I'm still pissed that they didn't put hammerhead in there. Well, he just didn't make the top 10. He's good. He didn't make it? Yeah, he's number 16. He's pretty close to the top.

Nice. It's not too bad. Okay. Let's do the beginning of her, not the beginning, but when they're on Tatooine and the guy that like turns him in, the spy with the long nose. He's a jerk. I can't think of his name, though. I don't know his name. Is he a Bothan spy?

I love the fact that you don't know for a few minutes. I'm like, this character is so cool. and then they ruin it by revealing as Princess Leia and I'm like, I wanted this character to be somebody. It's like what they did with Zorn and the X-Men went and then, oh, this is a really cool character. Wow, what a best new X-Nes character ever.

Oh, it's Magneto with a different helmet. Yeah, when she does that character, it only says Yato a bunch of times, which apparently is a full language meaning a ton of things. I always hated that. Even as a kid. Oh, really? Yeah. Because all she said was Yato. Yato. You have

a thermal detonation device. Yippo. Yeah, po. It was just so dumb. Oh, I love it. Yeah. Is it just subtitles? God, I could have sworn, that's crazy.

Like, I visualize her speaking with that voice, but I guess it's all subtitles, right? She did toward the end of the scene when she started breaking, she should, she basically woke up on. Yeah. And then said, and she starts speaking while she's, she's speaking English while she's taking her helmet off. Yeah, and he goes, who are you? Or I guess she says that after.

she takes office yeah and then she pulls her head off because he didn't know plus he's blind I guess so he doesn't know who's right anyway by the way laughing has made me lightheaded oh great doing well I like being I love being sick it's great amazing all I can think of is a slave girl one before before Leah got there the the previous holder of that job the education yeah the the the the the The girl that Boba Fett named his ship after, a slave girl won. All right, let's see if that's on there. I don't know, I don't know her real name. Oh, Oula? Is it, Ola? It is Ola, right?

Oh, really? Oh, I love it. Ula. You're ironic name. Show me Ula. Uh-huh. Footy fans. Premier League and Champions League are underway,

So, Scott, you need seven points to tie, which you can't get. You need

eight points or more to win. So. Okay. Three answers left on the board. I don't even know where to go here. Let's do that I don't remember his name. The guy that got his arm caught off. I don't like you either. And got his arm cut off in episode four.

No, he wasn't the bartender. He's just the guy sitting at the bar. He's just an ass and his nose is all turned up. Did we say favorite or just obscure characters best? Who is the best obscure characters, how they phrase it? I don't like him either. I can't remember that guy's name, but let's see if he's up there. I bet he's not.

Based on your response, I'm guessing it's not there. Well, Pondababa, was the short guy, right? The little short guy that was his... Oh, that actually might be the one I'm thinking... Wait. Who's the one that talked? The other one was like a Tuscar or, you know... Or a snagletooth. I thought it was the short one. There was the

tall dude that does the talking, and I thought the short one was Pondababa, but I can't remember. I can't remember. I can't remember. And ironic name will help us out on this one because they know everything. That's right. All right. Show me... Oh, Pondababa's the walrus guy. That's right.

The walrus, dude. I just looked at the chat room, Jesus, you people. Oh, right. Ponda Bob is the one with his arm cut off. He, yeah. All right. Let's say it's the dude who says, I don't like you either. Yeah, that guy.

He's not on there. Whatever is. Dr. Eveson, that's it. That's it. He was Evesan. Evazan, I think, is his name. Dr. Evazan. Did we say Grito and all that stuff, too?

You did not. Probably should have. That would have been. good. Yeah, let's see if Dr. Evan said made it into the list. He did not. McClunky. With my Star Wars pop figures. Let's look at these last

three here. I said that, you know, there were mostly from the 4-5 and 6, but number five was from Rogue 1. K-2S.O. The Alan Tudic voiced droid or robot.

And body acted as well. Did the motion cap for that. Oh, really? Oh, the boat cap for that too? Very cool. Yeah, he's good at that. uh number eight will row hood who you know as the guy who carries the ice cream maker oh that guy that guy the bomb that it was uh just basically an ice cream maker uh uh was made to look like a bomb i don't know anything about this definitely don't know his name but i know about the bomb but of course chat room i don't know nothing about this at all i got to go back and watch the yeah get on that dude

At number five, it's a droid that's basically named after the noise he makes. GONK. Oh, who's, shut. Because the G&K something, your number 11 bonus would have been. Hey, Eddie, you've got to racing the pod racing today. I almost said it, but I was staying away from the prequels, yeah. Did Yaddle end up on this? The Yoda lady.

was on the list. Yeah, just to kind of close out, maybe the top 20. Babu Frick was number 13. Grito, Bask, Chopper, Figrin Dan, the lead vocalist of the modal nodes. Kit Fisto,

Pelmodo, Admiral Akbar. Oh, Akbar, shit. I thought I'm about Akbar, but I was like, that can't be on that. He's not obscure. He's like, as well as known as Boba Fed. Well, that's what I was like, once I got that out there and knew that was the pack.

Yeah. All you were doing is giving us a baseline of what, and I think you deserve credit for that and still winning. I'm impressed. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yaddle was number 27, the female Yoda. Elon Slees Bagano. I don't know who that is, but that is the most George Lucasy sounding thing ever. It's like George Lucas had chat GPT in 1975 and was just pumping names out of something like that. He was proof that he's a future traveler. Oh, he's a male Belosur Death Stick dealer on the Planet Corrissant during the separatist

crisis. I still I still can't believe I had it wrong. I thought the other guy lost his arm but Bobba Bubo or whatever's

name did. Yeah, I did too, right? It was Ponda Baba. Yeah. Ponda Bapa. I was sure of it. That's dumb names. They're so dumb.

Does Dr. Revisian dies, though. Is he just stabbed by the... Well, that's what I think. That's why I can't remember. I thought he said, because the big Tusk guy can't, he didn't understand him. Yeah. And so the guy says, what's he saying?

He says, he doesn't like you. And he says, okay, well, I don't, whatever he says. And he says, and I don't like you either. And he pushed him aside. And then I thought, Obi-1 went, shunk. And it was his arm that came off because the scream was his, I thought. Right. Now I'm confused, dude.

Forget about who shot first with Grito and Han. Tell me whose arm that is. Right. Cornelius Evazahn is the guy who does the, I don't like you either. He was a plastic surgeon who, whose madness drove him insane and started making him. Bobby Yaba has testicles for her mouth.

Oh my gosh. Yes, he does. It kind of is, yeah. I don't like it. I love that he's Baba Yaba. So dumb. What a dumb name. Let's see.

I can't believe how wrong I had that. I've seen Star Wars a trillion times. I have not seen the train times. I've only seen it at 25. I thought he, I could have sworn he died in the, in the canteena fight. The altercation, maybe ran off. You know.

You know, you go, I swear to God, you pull up the Wikipedia and you look for, look at this guy. And you have to scroll through so much to find out, um, what's going on. Like where, where people die and stuff or how.

Tom's not after me, is he? Because he is. He is. Okay. Yeah, no. He actually survived. He used the skills to recover Pondababa's arm, and he attempted to reattach it to the aquilish using his medical training. However, the cauterization complicated the task, and the doctor nearly killed his part in the process when the procedure failed. Wow. Read the books, I guess, yeah. Well, to answer your question, Dunnoy, yes, Brian, or Tom is waiting. You're absolutely correct.

Oh, I'm sorry. Let's get to Tom. Sorry, that's me. Hey, congratulations. Philip Barnett. You're getting a copy. of Necro King and Heroes of Lute, but don't worry, Jason G, you're getting a copy of Return to Monkey Island, all of those great donations from folks on Steam. Fantastic. These are all winners to us, and today we're going to be doing play retro because you weren't feeling well yesterday, and we wanted to give you a little space. So hopefully you feel okay today, and if for some reason you don't, it's okay if we have to push it to a different day.

I want you to feel better, dude. That's what I'm saying. I'm angry. I'm angry sick now. It's just like, let's get on with it. move on i feel you dude i hate those they're the worst kind of illnesses uh well uh feel better man and uh we'll see you today at four and if not we'll figure out another time don't worry about it all bye and kiss our butts i forgot to say that part and kiss all bolts uh ladies and gentlemen boys and

girls it's that time of the day where i try to find a clip here it is isn't technology wonderful well i'm going to tell you this it can be with the right people involved and in this case the right people the right people is tom merritt is that a sentence he is the right people the right people at the right time tom like at t and t there you go that's right you're the right wait was that there is that that there that's the right choice AT&T you don't remember that i don't remember that 90s era jingle or something i don't remember that wow uh they shouldn't have given that one up they should have let that keep going yeah tom right right up there with we love to fly and it shows indeed um Tommy he'd been having a lot of fun making dumb stuff to send back and forth to each other on SORA last few days.

Yeah, on SORA, because we've been making dumb stuff to send back and forth to each other for decades now. Yeah, it's been about 20 years of this, but specifically it's been happening a lot there. We thought maybe we'd talk a little bit about why, why, well, okay, I'm going to start with the theory. And then, hold on, let me, let me set you up because I have invited, I have, they give you invites, right? It's kind of a controlled access thing. And I have invited many people who have said no thanks. Some have said no thanks because they just don't have time. Some have said no thanks because they're like, I don't like this.

I don't like AI. I don't like Open AI, something like that. So when I asked Scott about this, I wasn't sure how you would react because you have played both sides of the fence on whether you like this AI stuff or not. So it sounds like it has maybe not changed your mind. it has affected your opinion about it yeah so i uh it's funny it's actually helped me with specificity categorize what i like and what i don't what i like about a i is like the math the heavy lifting the go through this document and find me these things uh transcribe this gigantic text file and give me a summary those kinds of that that kind of work a day stuff

freaking love it absolutely love it it's life changing yeah just the the the productivity assistance Yes. That stuff is huge for me. What I don't like is artists whose styles get used because, you know, going in there and say, hey, draw like Miyazaki and it does it. That drives me nuts. I just don't think it's... Always rubs people the wrong way if it makes something like that easy. Yeah, yeah, it really bothers me. This kind of stuff where I've scanned my head in and I'm doing shit in a bathroom or wherever a kitchen with you guys. This is just kind of a lark and it's not a big deal to me. It's not as bad as it sounds, folks. No. Right. Right. But here. here's where this is literally not literally doing shit in a bathroom this is where i i think i found what actually i like about it most and it has that kind of nothing to do with the technology i mean it does in a side way but i'll i'll explain um i think i think it's good that there is an app now that right now is just invite only but is growing and there's a lot of people in there doing

and stuff, uh, that there's no question what it is. I open that. And if I'm going to look at it at all, yeah, if I'm going to look at anything, I know that it's AI. It may be slop. It may be crap. It may be dumb or funny or whatever it may be. But it's a hundred percent that I can't upload my own photos. I can't upload my own video. All I can do is say, yeah, use my likeness from my friends can insert me in their videos. You can upload your own photos, but then you have to use them as the basis for a generated video. You're not posting that photo. Right. And so I'm never going to get any kind of output from this app that claims to be something that it isn't. Whereas if I go over to TikTok right now, I will immediately be fed with a variety of things. The things they algorithm. Yeah. In that case,

well, right now it's kind of bad. Like V-O-3 really did that too when at first hit. It was just like, oh my gosh, slow down with all these dumb videos. But it's this mix of, I mean, I can spot this stuff pretty well. But I don't like that it's always this mix of some of this is real. Some of this looks real and is fooling some people. Some of this is being used in nefarious ways to spread misinformation about specific things. Or at least try to. And that's annoying in its own way, even if you see it right away. So it's just like this untrustworthy playground. Whereas this, ironically, when nothing's real, it's trustworthy. Because I know 100% nothing's real. And that's all it will ever be, assuming Sam Altman never changes that and adds some other functionality to

it. But I think that that's, I didn't expect to come to that conclusion. I'll be honest. I kind of just thought, ah, this would be dumb for about two weeks. But knowing that this very fun thing I can do with my friends, that's really what I'm using it for? It's like, what can I have me and Brian do that's super stupid? How can I make Tom look like he's 12 feet tall walking his dog? Dumb stuff like this, right? I like the one where you put both of our heads on one body arguing about Star Wars and yeah that was so much I mean that's so dumb but it's also like it's it's it is exactly what it is and no one's grandma's going I can't believe they transplanted his head on top of that other person's head right not that that's you know very good as far as misinformation goes but it's just like

here's what this app does and that's all it does and guess what that can be fun and you can have a good on time on there. Look, I know there are people out there that are like, all AI is bad. Sure. And that's, and your stamp is there. And that's, you know, I have this argument with my daughter all the time. I understand that. I'm just, we're, we're peering in from this particular perspective right now,

which is why we're talking about it. So don't cancel us over this, but, uh, I just feel, I don't know why I feel so strongly about this. It's just like this app is, there's an honesty about it. That's a weird thing to say about AI, which is filled. with questions about legal use of images and content and where it gets what it gets and not having permission and all of that. It's a weird thing to say that this app is strangely honest about what it is, even if maybe some of the behind-the-scenes stuff is, you know, nefarious or whatever.

Maybe not even nefarious. It's not the right word. Anyway, do you see what I'm saying? Yeah, no, I absolutely do. In fact, Brian Brushwood even adds that because it is a playground of only AI created things, when you participate in it, you are training yourself to recognize generated things, right? You become better at going, oh, I've seen something like that on SORA. I'm not going to fall for that when I see it on TikTok or Instagram, right? Whereas if you're not using that app, you are more likely to get fooled because you're less up to speed. Now, over time, I think we all will develop that. So it's not like, well, you're, you know, you're bad for not using SORA. It's but it is bringing people literate in what generated stuff looks like faster.

So I think he makes a good point there. I understand that if you are ethically opposed to it because you don't think the training data is sourced properly, that you're not going to want to use it. Totally respect that. You may be ethically opposed to it because you're unsure on its impact on the environment, which there are legitimate questions about. I think there's also exaggerated things about it, but it's a legitimate question. where is all this power going to come from? And there's water use thing, I think, gets much more exaggerated, but it's certainly something that needs to be addressed of like,

oh, how do you sustainably cool data centers and all of that? But if you're not concerned, if those two are not deal breakers for you, then I would say you, and you're like, I just don't like the idea of it. I think it's scary. I think it's wrong. I think it has no place in the creative process. you might want to join it anyway just to see what the enemy is up to, right, and be able to understand what is going on in there. I can tell, because I've been using it, which

journalists are using it, which journalists have tried it once, and which journalists are not using it. Because there's a lot of things that they imply in their writing that I'm like, that's not my experience, especially around copyright. Copyright has been a crackdown from the beginning on SORA. There's a narrative out there that Open AI was permissive with copyright at first, and then the journalists came and held them to account, and they changed their ways. It's been cracking down on copyright from the beginning. They did change their not, they always had a, had a filter on likenesses. I couldn't post SORA. I couldn't create SORA videos of myself at first, because it said, nope, that's, that's a personal likeness. I'm like, yeah, it's

me. I'd give it permission. Yeah. Yeah. So that's always been tough. There were some gaps when they were saying, we'll try to crack down on copyrighted material that is, that is not personal likenesses, but we'd prefer if you come to us and tell us you want us to stop that. They've changed that. And that probably is a lot because of public pressure. But they've changed that to say, okay, we're going to try our best to crack down on as many things as possible. And then you can come to us and opt in if you want people to play around with your intellectual property. I think that's probably a better way to go about it. And I think that is fairly something that public pressure got them to change.

But it wasn't like this was a copyright free-for-all at the beginning. There were plenty of copyrighted images you could not post from the beginning. And they have cracked down even more. It's also just weird sometimes, you know, I had one about Marie Antoinette that it was like, personal likeness. Yeah. Yeah. You've been using like Gerald Ford and Kennedy and, uh,

You have a lot of Gerald Ford in your feeling. I feel like he's underrepresented with everybody doing Nixon and JFK so much. I just, you know. I appreciate it. I welcome to Gerald Ford. Thank you. Yeah. And the MLK stuff is like rife.

It's all, they've got all kinds of fake MLK speeches in there. And they seem to be having no problem with that. I mean, I'll share this interaction. That's the thing is that, that does exist. And it does set my teeth on edge sometimes,

some of the stuff that's in there. Yeah. But it's not the only thing. and it's not the dominant thing. There are lots of, I mean, the Marie Antoinette one I finally did get to make was her saying, no, no, I said let them eat cake because that's all we had left. I didn't want them to stop. Right.

And then, again, you are on a platform where it's all fake. There's no agenda. It's just stupid. You will never get fooled, right? Because you know it's generated. Yeah, you should anyway. So this is the thing I share with Tom via text, and it cracked me up. So as you can see, I've generated a video of a Steve Jobs looking guy, high-fiving Jesus, all right?

Yeah. And when I first asked it, I said, Steve Jobs, high-fiving Jesus is the way you would spell it. And it said, sorry, too close to actual people likeness, all that stuff like you were saying. So I changed it to sleeve jobs with two B's and a Z, high-fiving Jesus spelled G-E-E-Z-U-S, and it literally gave me what I asked for in the first place. So it does that a lot. It's like I need, I need Mario, sorry. can't do it. All right, I need an Italian

plumber and a red jumpsuit. It'll make something. It looks like that. And it's just exactly him with an M on his hat. I did Survivor Tribal Council with Tom Merritt and Scott Johnson voting me off the island and is like, nope, sorry, too close to things. I said, reality show that takes place on an island.

Yeah. Yeah. Tribal council is like, oh, sure, you mean survivor? Yeah. But vice versa, I put a space adventurer in a dirty white robe, sits back in a booth in a space canteen. to his pal critiquing the concept of the hero's journey and it said this content may violate guardrails concerning third-party content like i couldn't yeah couldn't be more generic more

vague in that description and you would think oh that's a clever way to make luke skywalker show up no it was like no i think there's two things going on it filters on the input if you put in someone's name that they clearly are like no we will never make steve jobs that is that is not allowed it filters on that and it filters on the output so that if you say do a guy in a white robe and a canteena and the tool puts out Luke Skywalker, it may go, we're pretty sure that's Luke Skywalker, shut that down. But sometimes that filter doesn't work. And then you get sort of Steve Jobs-ish-looking guy, you know, that's like, well, the filter's like, I don't know if that's Steve Jobs or not. So let it think. I did put Coverville in the room in

the tearing me apart, Lisa scene. And it not only did that you're tearing me apart, Lisa, but put the actress, Like, I'm talking with the actress who played Lisa in the room. Right, right. I noticed that. My favorite is when there's suddenly two of me or two, the one of Brian, where there's two of Brian in our. There's like a mash one or something that Tolbert did where I'm like three doctors and a blonde lady or something. It's really, really weird. And there are times when the voice doesn't match, like the wrong voice comes out, the voice comes out of the wrong person's mouth. It doesn't get the Ryan.

Every once in a while, you'll hear people's training audio show up at the beginning. If you ever hear numbers, that's the numbers that they, yeah, yeah. I will say this about the one Brian did with the Survivor thing. There's a shot in there. I shared this with Tom, where me and Tom are sitting talking about the result of kicking Brian off the island. And, man, we look good, dude. You do. You look great there.

Let's go to the beach. Finally, this app figured out what Tom and I's real physiques are. Look at us. slim. How did it know my legs? I don't know. Look at this. Huba. And that rice reading? It's not far. It's better that my legs actually look probably, but it's not far off. No, it's not too far

off. But anyway, it's a wild thing. I just think that there's some value in knowing what it is. And that's somehow, even if you are totally opposed to AI. And by the way, you can check this thing out and view videos and not submit

a single one. Those are just video content. They're not being rendered every time you look at it. So it takes a while to render these out. Once they come up, they are now a video file. They're an MP4 being fed to you just like TikTok reels or anything else. And so you're not, you're not contributing to the idea of too much water to cool the data center or whatever every time you look at one of these. So just know that going in if you're nervous about it or whatever. Yeah, you also can, I know some Android people are like, when is the Android app coming? You can sign up on the web if you get an invite and still create things.

without you in them and even just watch stuff i know some people have signed up and they're just looking they haven't posted anything but they're they're just they're just watching what happens there can you do that without an invite just do the watching you can't no you have to you have to get an invite to be able to get access uh but you don't have to have the app you can do it on the web oh so yeah and the web's way easier obviously to just type quickly so i do a lot of my prompts on there which is usually why i end up with the 30 videos limit for 24 hours or whatever because they do limit you at some point yeah i have not hit that limit but i know people haven't even made movies about hitting that limit which is well and the problem is they count they count uh ones that

block you or say sorry the likeness or sorry this has content we can do your failed attempts are also they count those yeah which is really annoying because sometimes i hit the hundred video submission limit over the weekend oh man though most of them you know probably half of them and failed because i was just you know trying stuff and seeing where the boundaries were and all you're getting a better limit to me. I got 30. Are they going to give us more invites at some point? Yes. Actually, you know what? I should check on that. I already have seven. I got seven. I had four. Yeah. I had four. I gave out all four. And then I got four more. And then I got four more of those. And I have not been replenished since.

They're looking at you're a super user, dude. You're a whale. They're looking to see like what the people that you invite create and say, oh, he's good. All right. We're going to give out some more of those. And they look at the ones that I sent out and say, no more for Ibit. Yeah. Sam Altman's like, what the F's going on in L.A. right now with this guy who keeps posting these things. What's funny up there, Bill. He, Altman

put his face likeness cameoable as just default. So you don't even, you didn't have to follow him or anything. So people are constantly like, here's one of Sam Altman eating a pile of GPUs. Yum, nom, here's one. I made one of him being

chased by a GPU through a city like Michael Bay style. Oh yeah. I remember seen that one. So there's a lot of like people using the app to rip on Sam Altman's use of resources to make AI. What a vicious circle that is because you're doing it. It's kind of funny. Yeah. You're doing it. So it's like, I don't know. It's the, it's a fun thing to talk about. But Tom, is there anything else going on this week outside of this stupid app that you want to mention before we go? Well, yeah, a couple of things. If you happen to be at the streaming media conference in Santa Monica today, I'm on two panels there.

So stop on by and say hello, but also really having fun with the substack newsletter. So if you're into my thoughts on things, there's a daily tech news show substack where you can get ad-free versions of the podcast, DTNS, D-NS, DTNS Live, D-TH, daily tech headlines, all of that. But also there's free Tom newsletter. That's just me. If you're like, what does Tom really think? That's where you go, free Tom newsletter. And here's what he really looks like, sitting there at the beach, looking all. That's me, that's me and Scott working on the newsletter for this Friday.

Yeah. And Brian, Brian, you were freaking buffing that video. I don't have a frame. And that one that was good. Yeah. That came out really well for me, too. You walked away and I was a little bit like, I like the ladies, but. I know. I came out all right in that Nostrava. Ask your doctor if Nostrava is right for you video, too. Yeah. Well, that's awesome. Tom Merritt, it is always a pleasure to hang out with you, and we hope to talk to you again soon. We'll see you next Wednesday. Bye now.

Fantastic. He spelled Thomas without the H on his thing, and it really threw me at first. Tomas or something. Tomas. Is that a way of saying that, Tomas? In Spanish, and like, Spanish, T-O-M-A-S is Tomas. I don't think I've ever known a... It's Spanish for two more.

Is it really? No. But Mas is more, but... Nope, it's just Spanish for Thomas. I do this all the time. Los Boteles is, I always tell my wife, is Spanish. Every time we pass it, Spanish for two bottle, or no, the bottles. The bottles.

She's like, I know, shut up. Don't tell me 50 times as we drive paths. This thing. Las Vegas is the Meadows. Oh, is it really? I think so, yeah. Vegas is meadows? Interesting.

I didn't know that. I've never asked, I guess. I've never even thought about it. I think that's right. Is that right? somebody help me out somebody help help a guy out that meadows kind of cool yeah i like it uh all right guys i'm gonna read a quick email then we're gonna go this is from bio cow some of you know him like his mother as preston all right he wrote this in he says hey space bar and backspace you know what

this is about yeah he says so the right shift key how the hell do you type capital w A or S. Are you hunting and pecking? Are you contorting your left hand into some sort of mingled claw that resembles a witches twisted and knotted fingers? Or do you have to type in a lower case? I took typing in high school in the early 90s when computers were gaining popularity and I can understand some Gen Z saying, quote, I learned to type by typing, by typing. But didn't you all, or sorry, didn't you all in my age range take typing in school? Hell yeah, we did. sure did well at least i know i could beat you in a typing contest mooh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha and then finally muha ha ha ha ha ha yeah big long one yeah love the show despite your weirdness by o cow all right so

i thought a lot about this when i type and i do those letters i actually use the left shift key to capitalize the w and i don't even look i'm just going no ring finger on the shift key and then i use my pointy finger for ASWZXD, all that stuff. Yeah, it's just the pinkies on the shift and the other hand. Maybe it's because I have big hands. Maybe I'd take

it for granted. Maybe. Maybe you've got your little tiny hands, Preston. Little tiny hands. Little crab. Just kidding. We're not trying to give me any beef, but I do think it's interesting because I don't... See, if I try to go right shift. I mean,

can do it in a pinch but I don't need to yeah it's just working so but I'm I'm a bad example because I look at the keyboard for 80% of my typing so and I don't need to when I've not looked at the keyboard half the time my typing is spot on because I just know where the keys are and I do it by memory but yeah yeah I'm just I'm doing it right now without looking what is the horse saying about Sal does the horse and his friend with like I'm having no problem hitting the shift and getting the words in without looking. Preston, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe we're freaks.

I don't know. We're super freaks is what we are. We're super freaking. But I like your email a lot. It was actually a text. You can send emails, texts, and voicemails. All those links to those places to do those things are at the website, frogpants.com. Slash TMS.

Go there as often as you please. Brian, it's time for us to go. You got anything coming up today or anything you want to mention before we go? No, I've been working on puzzles for Rock Puzzles Monthly. Just put out, actually, that, do I have it here? I don't have it here. But that PDF with the How to Solve Puzzles and all the clues, like all the ciphers and things like that,

I put that up on the Patreon for patrons. Actually, put it up for free people too, like the people who are signed up for free as well as the people who are paying. So you all get that little decoder guide, but of course you won't get all the puzzles unless you're a patron. relatively recent thing where Conti Conti personally called for this I think

but he wanted to make it so you could sign up and not you didn't have to pay be a paying member to sign up but you but you would get any of the freebie stuff that comes around also you're just easily in there. Yeah. You see posts that are maybe obfuscated after after a few sentences but at least

you see the things it's a good way to say like well how much stuff does this person really put out And you can go for free and say, oh, yeah, they're cranking out stuff a month long. That's cool. Yeah, we get all kinds of people on TMS like that. Here's what we want you, the TMS wants to do. Today's a great day. Hop in there.

You already got to log in. And then just convert it to one of the cheapy monthly deals. There you go. Do that. Yeah, do that. That would help us a lot. That is at patreon.com slash TMS. That's going to do it for us.
