Starting point is 00:00:51 We congratulate you sir Upon the way you handle it I got an interest in whether or not Your head is leaking on the inside The morning stream. Don't eat that. It's Pluto. Hello, everybody, and welcome to TMS. It is the morning stream for November 6th, 2025. Can you believe it's already the 6th of that? Can you believe it's already the 6th of that? No, I can't believe it's already the sixth of the...
Starting point is 00:01:29 Yeah, it felt real. That was fast six days, wasn't it? It was. And, uh, uh, yeah, no, it reminds me that, um, you know, got, got a brand new month, got puzzles I need to write, need to develop, need to produce. Oh, yeah, that's the thing that starts happening is the clock on the monthly commitment starts to take, his ticks weird, you know? Yes, exactly. Like I have to do art for, what, three shows, core film sack and something else. Right. Came over the other one. And I have to, I have to think of that monthly. So now, I have to, I have to think of that monthly. So now, it's this new thing that's always looking at me and it's always hanging out you think i just like get ahead of myself but nope i wait till you know day two days before it's time and yeah i got to change the way i do that but what you know what this this is the you know there's there's a few things
Starting point is 00:02:13 i do in my regular day to day that i love it's doing this show it's doing film sac it's writing songs for film sack it's doing puzzles uh you know maybe carding old ladies from the hospital to uh their home where they don't stop talking the entire time was yesterday. I did an Uber ride, picked up a lady at Lutheran Hospital, and then for the next 23 minutes, she talked like, like there is nobody else in her life to listen to her and possibly there isn't, but, uh, kind of, kind of conversation was it? What was she laying on you? We were talking about, um, I say we were talking.
Starting point is 00:02:54 I wasn't involved. She was talking a lot about. She was talking about getting rides and this service called Go Go Grandparent, which is like a reduced price ride share thing for the elderly. It's kind of cool. Yeah, it's really cool. And I've gotten them before. And here's the funny thing about them. Nine times out of ten, they just automatically sit in the front seat.
Starting point is 00:03:19 They don't say, hey, do you mind if I sit up front here? They just hop in the car like you're their son or daughter and you're their job. you're just going to take them wherever they need to go. That must be generational, I guess, or something. I think so. I think it is, because I'd say, of all the people who do that, way more than a, like I would say a large percentage of them are older than 60. Give her head to anybody you say I want to be up front because I get car sick in the back. It ever happened?
Starting point is 00:03:46 No, but there's people who ask, hey, do you mind if I sit in the front seat? And I just assume that's the reason. I don't, I don't ask and just say, oh, do you get car sick in the back? Because guess what? I'm going to make you car sick no matter where you sit. Exactly. Yeah. Like, you know, come off the red light.
Starting point is 00:04:08 My wife is sometimes one of those. It depends on the car and where we're going. But she gets, for whatever reason, back seats make her very car sick. Front seats don't bother at all. I don't know what that means or what that's about, but my daughter's that way. I know a few people that get that way. I think they've all just figured out ways to, automatically get shotgun without having to call it each time.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Yeah, good point. That's the other reason Kim claims she rather drive when we're driving somewhere. Yeah, yeah. Because she gets car sick. And I'm like, well, be in the front with me and you won't get car sick. Well, I still do sometimes. Oh, is that it? Okay, fine.
Starting point is 00:04:39 What it really comes down to is she's nervous when I drive. That's it. Yep. That's all it is. I've heard you say, well, I fall asleep when I'm driving. And that's kind of all I need to hear, Scott. Fair point. Fair point. Yeah. The sleepy thing for sure. And like local quick go in places traffic, though, I think I've been besmirched. I used to hug or what do you call it? I used to bumper. What do they call that? When you get tailgate. Tailgate. I used to tailgate real bad. I don't do that anymore. I'll leave a nice car just length plus in front of me. Yeah. So she doesn't have that excuse anymore. But I really do think it comes down to, yeah, I get ridiculously sleepy at about 20 minutes and we're all going to die. So.
Starting point is 00:05:21 I don't blame her. I don't blame her. Yeah, boy, pass, pass on all that. I do like the, you know, the thought of a podcast series or a YouTube series or something called Scott Johnson, Narcalyptic Uber driver. Yeah. I mean, it is kind of, I don't know if I've never, like, looked into it, but maybe it's an actual form of that. I don't know. I mean, maybe.
Starting point is 00:05:42 I think that there's, you know, you probably at an early age were trained by your parents or to falsely. sleep in the car and encouraged or or yeah it's how they would calm me down maybe if he yeah maybe if he falls asleep he'll shut up but yeah no when i would cry i already know this to be the case my mom has told me this many times they would drive me around the neighborhood to get me chill and i think i internalize that so that when i'm in a car and i feel that rumble and that yeah you've just been trained yeah rock to sleep so way way to go mom and dad geez louises i think maybe let me cry like a real baby. Let him cry it out. Yeah, let me just have my way. Anyway, speaking of babies, had something. I don't know how kids do this. Kids are resilient. So I'm happy to report
Starting point is 00:06:32 that on the other end of this, she acts like everything's just fine. But poor Phoebe yesterday, I could tell you the story. So she's, what, three now? Barely? Just turned three. It was a few weeks ago. Very little, young still. Shorter than her brother, just a little thing. and so here's what happens they're wrestling at their house and Taylor's got her on her back she's holding her by her two arms not a big deal it's just a whatever you call that what do you call that when you get on someone's back piggyback thank you why none of these terms are coming to me today how do you beat me in the TV's Travis game how I don't know how I don't I still to this day feel like every time he comes on I'm like oh boy I'm going to have to crawl back like all of a sudden
Starting point is 00:07:14 yeah it's like all of a sudden you've got you know good recall and uh i just assume i'm losing every time it comes on and then somehow i'm winning but anyway so she's holding her on her shoulders got her by the hands yeah and all of a sudden i don't know where phoebe starts screaming in pain and they're like okay what the frick so like taylor takes her around and sets her down and it's her elbow her elbow has come out of socket oh no like dislocated yeah and it's a there's a name for it i forgot the name but it's happened with a lot of young kids their ligaments aren't fully formed or something. I bet Dr. Tolbert will like tell us what the hell this is. Oh, shoot. Yeah. But it's this whole thing with her elbow. And because they didn't know any better or didn't
Starting point is 00:07:53 know what was going on, they took her to the ER because they were freaking out. They should have taken her reins to care. It would have been fine because they have everything they need for this sort of thing. Anyway, so they did the expensive thing and went to the ER. Shoot. Took care of that. The doctors literally did like what you see in the movies. They tell she's screaming. They take her elbow in her arm and go, blink, and hear this pop. And she's immediately fine. No issues. No pain there, nothing.
Starting point is 00:08:18 She barely even, like, she just kind of sat up and went, all right, well, there was that. It was no problem. So that's just one phase. We're thinking, all right, well, that's how bad your day is going to be. It's not going to be any worse than that. They go home, and she immediately slips on the hardwood floor after taking her shoes off in her socks, slips, falls face first into this bench that's part of their table, like a kid's bench. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Slams her chin on that bench. sends her teeth up through her freaking little tongue and then she now got this big spreading bruise right here oh no but then yesterday I see her the bruise is almost gone
Starting point is 00:08:56 and her tongue doesn't hurt at all I don't know how that kid does that that's a weird thing like tongues are tongues tongues seem to heal faster than other parts of the body yeah
Starting point is 00:09:07 like you bite your tongue and you know you've got a hold just bleeding but for whatever reason an hour later totally fine not even thinking about it's like a worm growing itself back together after getting cut in half or something it's like this weird healing ability that our tongues have even as adults I feel like my tongue's only going to bug me for a day
Starting point is 00:09:26 and then I'm probably okay but she's she's doing 100% fine now I'm giving her suckers yesterday hanging out with her I go does it hurt she's like no it doesn't hurt and she's being all brave but it was a gnarly thing so now we have a new name a new nickname in the house her adventure cop show from the 70s would be called Pop Socket and Chinhammer That's what we're going to call it
Starting point is 00:09:45 Excellent Yeah so Carter wants to animate it We'll see how that goes Yeah that's a really good I'd watch that It would begin with like a You know some sort of funk music Score and feature a feature people sliding
Starting point is 00:10:00 Across the hoods of cars And you know Pointing their guns at people Do you ever do you have an injury as a kid that you I don't know You just remember being They're like yeah I just like, yes, it was cycling around Sloan's Lake and hitting a particularly big pile of goose crap.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Oh, shit. These are the worst. Yeah. You wouldn't think it would be bad. Losing control of the bike and tearing my knee open to the point where I needed stitches and still have the scar to this day from. that. Well, you were near home so you could, you know, get to your parents or your mom. Yeah, I probably rode.
Starting point is 00:10:48 I don't remember, but I'm sure I rode my bike the rest of the way home. Well, you know, the problem is the geese or dicks. Here he is right here. There is right there. It's freaking Mendoza. Yeah, you got to get him. It might have been Mendoza's dad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:05 It took me out. There's the whole family line of dicks. Well, that's cool. The worst I ever did, I think. was similar. It was a river. I was swinging across it. First day at junior high in my corduroy pants. Oh, God. Yeah. And I know those are back. I see. The things you could. Yeah, I know. I don't know what's going on. What were you doing? I blame the parents. You all live through this. You should be telling your kids not to wear freaking corduroy. Is you kidding me? They're so ugly. Anyway, swinging across that river, smacked my knee on a rock, broke my or cracked my, whatever that's called, the Patella or the. Patella. Yeah. your new job. Pracked that,
Starting point is 00:11:42 floated six yards down the river because I was in the water. My brother had to fish me out. Yeah. And then I went and got it set. So there you go. That's the worst thing I ever did. It was good.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Oh, my God. But it is funny how as a kid, you know, you get those memories of those, of that extreme pain. Like, you know, you don't remember this incredibly happy moment of your childhood and this and that.
Starting point is 00:12:06 No, it's like the things and Wendy would, if she were here today, speak to this is the oh yeah no the it's the it's the painful memories that the ones that just kind of lodge themselves in is protection for your future yeah no you're right i think we we sort talked about that last time a little bit we did about those calluses or whatever that you build up exactly yeah you're kidding it's a good it's a good reminder by the way uh no wendy today but we uh so we're get your answer yeah so here's how it'll work we'll go to everybody maybe prepare you can start doing them now if you want to. But they'll also
Starting point is 00:12:40 come in in real time. This is that system I was talking about last time that had a few bugs, but it's all around and out now. So if you go to voicecast. dot app slash TMS, any written or voice messages will come to us in real time. We'll see them pop as we're sitting here. And we'll be able to play them in real time.

And you know, if you want us to help you with your life problems, sure. We'll you know, we'll give you a two-sentence answer to how to solve every problem in your life. Yeah, it'll build a nice callous on you from this horrible experience you had with us today.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Exactly. And then you'll have a new horrible memory of that time you rode into TMS to ask him a question. Yeah, yeah. And you can use that as protection down the road. I love it. We're giving you those mental condoms. Your parents never did. That's right. Check this out, losers. Get in the car because we're going to do the news. it is brought to you by Brought to you by Coverville So today Dan Peek would have turned 75 Or I guess at the beginning of the month He would have turned 75
Starting point is 00:13:47 Dan Peek is the co-founder Of a band called America Yeah you know America Sister Golden Hair Venture Highway Lonely people This is for all the lonely people That's a good song
Starting point is 00:14:02 I like that one Ten men God never did give nothing to the tin men You know, it's a little bit of, it's a little bit of Yacht Rock, but whatever. He would have been 75. He passed away from like a urinary pancreatitis or something like that. But people do love doing covers of them. So the Dandy Warholz, Perkins and his ladies, lady boys, Rall Malo, Emma Stevens.
Starting point is 00:14:27 A lot of great covers today coming up right after TMS. It'll be a shorter show, two sets. But, yeah, the last unicorn soundtrack is Stigma. you will hear a cover of the last unicorn a lounge cover of that song they're not the I went down the desert around the horse with no name 100%. That's totally them.
Starting point is 00:14:48 The heat was hot and the lyrics were dumb and the lyrics are dumb. Yeah. But I have a five soft spot for their catalog. I don't know why. I do too. I do too. I wish I knew.
Starting point is 00:15:00 I wish I understood maybe it was the drugs but I want to know what Sister Golden Hair Surprise is all about. Like, what is it that she was a nun and she took off her habit and all of a sudden she's got blonde hair and it was, whoa, surprise, that nun has blonde hair. I think you're right about what you said first time. I think it is the drugs. That is the drugs.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Yeah. That explains the heat was hot. That's almost as bad as I feel a hunger. It's a hunger. I freaking hate that line. Pretty much. Yeah. It's on that same level of redundancy.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Twitch.tv slash Coverville right after the show. That's right. Exactly. Be there. Watch me play. Oh, I don't know, maybe a spider punk deck, a move deck with a new spider punk card. Very nice. I'm into it. First up in our news today, this is a story from the point of view of somebody and I'll read it like they did. Their headline says, my one-year-old eats books, toys, tables, and even his cot. Coming up on TLC's, my food obsession. Yep. I watched, oh, that's funny to say that. I just watched just randomly because it was up. on HBO Max is one of the discovery stuff. And I watched one of those episodes of the hoarder show they do. There's two hoarder shows. There's A&E's hoarder show.
Starting point is 00:16:12 And then whatever theirs is called on HBO or on Max. Anyway, I watched an episode of that. I don't know why I, that's a train wreck I like seeing. I don't know why. Really? It stresses me out. It does to me too, especially because I know that in the middle of this, they're going to confront these people and they're going to have a freak out because their stuff's getting moved.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Yeah. Even if they, sometimes they play it up with the editing, I can tell that they're like, they just have to have that part where the person's so resistant to change. Yes. And that part really, these things.
Starting point is 00:16:44 For some reason, dude, I can't figure it out. It stresses me out to, I don't actually like it, but somehow I watch it and I kind of stay. I don't know why. Yeah. But I need to keep these boxes of electronics in case I decide to resell these items later on Facebook marketplace.
Starting point is 00:17:00 I got to justify my cable box over it. but part of it is too it's like the reason i used to like watching cops it was a reminder of that if you're having a bad day someone's having a way worse one yeah for sure it's a really good reminder yeah there's a crack addict on the hood of a car or or there's me who's a little late for a lunch appointment right exactly yeah yeah tomato yeah uh anyway so this kid eats everything this kid's eating everything which does sound like one of those tlc shows uh says many parents wish they had eyes on the back of their heads when their toddlers start reaching for things
Starting point is 00:17:33 they shouldn't. But for Jess Harry, I guess that's the name of the kid. It seems nothing is off limits for her son Jr. Oh, okay, her name is Jess Harry. The son's name is Junior. I don't like when people name their kid's Junior. No, it feels like that's a suffix, not a name.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Yeah, I don't like it. If it's a nickname, fine. If it's a nickname, fine. Yeah. You know, a rapper guy, Junior, Junior X, whatever you're going to do. That's all fine. I made that up. And his name might not be junior. His, you know, he might be named after his dad, but they just call him junior.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Oh, right. Junior. Yeah. Yeah. They don't exactly want to have his name in the news, I guess. Yeah. The mum of two first, sorry, the mum of two first became aware that he'd like to try. This must be British because mum.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Yeah, there it is. The mum of two, yes. BBC down there. I'd like to try and eat inedible items when he lick the Velcro in his tactile books as a baby. Well, that's not that weird. I think no babies always put stuff in their mouth yeah that's there's a stage there where this is normal the problem is right it doesn't stop I guess yeah I guess when you're one and you're still you're like gnawing on the table like like he is in this photo now here's a weird word I've never heard of
Starting point is 00:18:44 says since then the 21 month old has scoffed sand by the handful assume that just means yeah like shoving it in your mouth scoffed scoffed like they might mean like scarfed but um scoffed is you know when I think of, oh, I would never do that, you know, that... Yeah, you'd scoff at it, right? Yeah, exactly. Maybe that's where we got scarf from. Because I do say, oh, I'll scarf down that burger. I don't know where that came from.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Maybe it was this. Yeah. I don't know. It says, and has eaten playgroup rugs as well as furniture all over the home, including his own cot. Now, I assume they don't mean he ate the whole thing. He just chewed on the side of the thing and probably got some wood in his system or whatever. But maybe, yeah, it sounds like he's,
Starting point is 00:19:27 actually ingesting some of this, which is the next sentence and the word that everybody in the tadpool is just waiting for us to get to. Yep. It wasn't until September the junior received a diagnosis of pica or pica. I think pike. Well, I think it's pica, but I might be wrong. Yeah, I don't know. I think it's pica. A condition where the person repeatedly craves and eats non-edible items with no nutritional value. Well, I still do that. I mean, you know, Wendy's, Chipotle, Burger King. Yeah. I was going to say, I got one of the cheaper Big Mac combos the other day. Yeah. I'm pretty sure I did this.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Yeah, no nutritional value. I'm eating. I'm doing it too. Sorry, I guess I must have PICA. So I noticed something. They went from like, I don't know, they were pushing 14 bucks for a big Mac combo for a while there. Whoa. Yeah, we talked about that.
Starting point is 00:20:16 How ridiculous that was. It was outrageous. They just swung too far after the pandemic and just assumed people would pay it. And it's like, why would I go here then? There's a million places I can go for 14 bucks and get something good. Yeah. And get something. far better. Yeah. So clearly they are backtracking. Also, it could be a bit of an economic indicator,
Starting point is 00:20:33 but they have Big Mac combos now for like 730 or something. Okay. They claim it's for a limited time, but I think they're going to have to stick to it or else they're screwed. They better. Yeah. Otherwise, they're going to have customers for a limited time. Yeah. Yeah. And also people, one of the crowds they've always relied on since the inception of that company is the younger crowd. Yeah. And guess what? Those kids are freaking broke right now. They got nothing. Exactly. Exactly. You give them a deal. They're going to come there. But if you take away that deal, guess what? They are goneer than gone. Yeah. Nick's doing plasma donations just to make rent work. Like, it's not what it used to be. So if they're expecting it to be the cheap go-to, you got... I was thinking about doing plasma donations, but all my TVs are LED.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Oh, you know. Yeah. See, once you've given away your plasma TVs, you're screwed. Yeah. Yeah, you're done. You're set. Wait, LED, LCD. L-CD. LCD? LCD? L-L-C-D? LED? LCD? Those those will watch Oh, liquid crystal display. Right, right. LADD, light-emitting diogenes. Ooh, I would like a TV that made that way, though. Because then it'd be all black and white. Yeah. And it would flicker. Seems bad.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Well, it'd be bad, but just as like a weird thing to show people. Just get yourself a play, play date? No, what are those called? The little, the new playdates, yeah. Yeah, I was mad at them because we, it was the same name as our thing we'd probably once a month. I was annoyed. Exactly. But yeah, the little winder thing, the little dubing. Oh, great. I want to play a bunch of fishing games. I've come this close to get one of those about a half a dozen times. I'm sure you have, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:03 I just can't. I've yet to have anyone show me anything where I went, oh my gosh, I have to have it before that game or for that reason or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. And there's no backlight. What are we doing?
Starting point is 00:22:14 Right. Exactly. 300 bucks and no backlight? Hello. We're in the 2020s, folks. Yeah, I got to put down a little hand-ed console. I don't care how twee it is with its little, you know, a revolutionary
Starting point is 00:22:28 spinny dial or real controller a damn backlight so I can play it in the dark when my wife is sleeping That's right You know how we play
Starting point is 00:22:39 B B B B B B B Dib Dib Dib That's the sound You'd appreciate this I played I got in the mood for some retro last night in bed
Starting point is 00:22:51 surprisingly good but on an analog stick because I haven't mapped that way on my steam deck I played a bunch of Tetris or not Tetris, Tempest. Oh, Tempest, yeah. So it's, you're basically, is it left right with the analog?
Starting point is 00:23:04 Or are you using the analog like going around in a circle? Going around in a circle. That's the best way to do it. It works pretty well. The only problem with it is you don't have the speed finesse that you would get with a knob. Sure. Where you can really hustle it around the side because you've got to get to the other side. Yes, and you need exactly.
Starting point is 00:23:21 That's the one, that's the thing I feel like you need with Tempest. You need a knob and it needs to be weighted. even that new Atari Play what's it called Atari Game Station Go The first thing that people are making for it
Starting point is 00:23:37 Oh it's available now finally I didn't know when it was coming out 179 bucks The first thing people are making for it is a weighted 3D printed knob That you can put over their knob That's cool To be able to do
Starting point is 00:23:51 The Vizzes That's cool man Yeah I love it. Nature finds a way when they need it, you know? Nature finds a way, exactly. That reminds me. I'm meant to send you this because I knew that you'd like it. You're a vector fan. You like that whole era. Look at this. This game. I just bought this game.
Starting point is 00:24:09 This is new. It's on Steam. I'm sure it's somewhere else. You're not talking about the new Vectrix. No, no, not that. This is an actual game. So this is the intro screen. Look at this. Already I'm loving because it looks like. Isn't it cool? And how it scales out. Lunar Lander and Asteroids. It's called Utopia Must Fall. Watch this game play. So basically...
Starting point is 00:24:26 Oh, I love that. So look how cool this is. You're in London, but look how you zoom out. You zoom way up here. Oh, my God. That's freaking awesome. And now you've got to fight the... Oh, and it's asteroids.
Starting point is 00:24:38 It's asteroids and missile command. And there's a little bit of a little bit of Gallagher thrown in because in a minute at a bunch of Gallaget. There, see them? They're coming. Look at this little centipede. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:49 It's in the sound. Let's see if I can get the sound. Listen to this. This has some of the coolest sounds. it's got this like fireworks at night kind of thing shut up and take my money i want this i played this i played the hell out of this game what's it called something must fall uh utopia must fall utopia must fall oh i saw that with uh a gerard butler i thought it was pretty good yeah it was all right you know he's he sometimes can really crank it uh but then you have between matches you have
Starting point is 00:25:17 upgrades so you can extend your rail or have it be faster or the rotations faster or new weapons or little robots that fly around and do some of the killing for you extra strong shield. So it's got this modern aspect to it where you can go choose all your shiz. This guy's taking forever to choose. I'll skip ahead here.
Starting point is 00:25:37 And it just gets harder. So I'll zip down into a harder level. It gets harder and harder. Some ships come out. I have these crazy missiles. I love that like, you know, it really is like like asteroids. And
Starting point is 00:25:52 centipede and Gallagher and missile command everything. Yeah. If they don't even, if they had a Star Wars, like if you're going down a trench, it couldn't be more it couldn't be more 80s amalgamation. Hell yeah. And when you're done and you explode, it's this amazing effect. It's just a rad game. It looks really cool. Only Steam? I mean, not you know. Oh, I don't know. Is it anywhere else? Oh, Windows Mac OS. So apparently Mac Steam, it's compatible with Mac on
Starting point is 00:26:21 steam. Oh, I haven't tried it yet. I need to try it there. I have a controller there and everything. I would recommend controller, although mouse and keyboard works fine. Oh, really? Okay. I was thinking mouse for sure, but, um, because are you moving, are you, are you just pointing your deal or you're moving that little, that reticle? You're moving the reticle and it takes, when you move it, like, how do I explain this? When you move it, it will, like a turret and a tank, it will keep, it's firing the whole time, but when you move it, it will, the trailing, has to catch up and that's one of the things you upgrade in the game later on is how quickly how quick it moves or how fat what the look at that see this is oh my god look at that yeah she's
Starting point is 00:27:01 it can go places man and you can you can get these cities and factories that do other things for you like there's a tower that'll it'll sit there and just fire it's it's really awesome and look at this right now on sale for oh no it's the sales over shoot 899 you can get the bundle with um grid ranger which oh my god this looks like battle zone yeah grid ranger's also very cool get it for 11 off three yeah so for three extra bucks on your two extra bucks on your 899 you get both of them yeah no no point not to but look at these reviews overwhelmingly positive 95 percent you can't do better than that ah damn it dude it's really good i thought of you immediately because you love that sure you did nova drift oh nova drift i think i've seen nova drift before
Starting point is 00:27:49 You're looking at the two different bundles? Yeah, there's another bundle that gives you Nova Drift and Utopia must fall for 22. I think this one I have Grid Ranger. It might be the same people. So this is your battle zone meets Star Wars trench run. Yeah, they're mixing it up. They know what they're doing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:10 They totally do. They're taking the entire era and making games out of it, basically. Yeah. Is there, can I burrow underground and inflate dragons with an air pump? But in vector style, that'd be amazing. In vector style, vector dig-dug would be great. It's really cool, though. Big, big recommendation.
Starting point is 00:28:27 It's still in early access, so they still have stuff they're adding. But it feels finished to me. It feels like a done game to me. Yeah, yeah. Well, great. Thanks for that. I didn't need to buy any more games today, but here we are. There you go.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Here we are, Scott. There you go. All right, let's talk about resilience. Quick story about a former NFL player. He survived 11 gunshots during an armed robbery. Oh, geez. Tobias Dorson. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:28:53 I'll probably tell us where he played, but anyway. He needed that toddler to come and eat the bullets. I know, right? Yeah. Bullets are good for you. Nom, nom, nom, num, num, num, these are good. Why, a kid talks like that. These are good.
Starting point is 00:29:05 These are very good bullets. Well, because he said, numb, numb, numb. That's why he talked like that. It says, Tobias Dorson is getting candid about being shot 11 times last November while being robbed, the chef and network's food. network star previously of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tennessee Titans. I didn't know they had a food network. I had no idea about any of this stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Talk to people, you know, the people magazine. Yeah, yeah, he just talked to people, general people. Just people he saw. Capital Pee people. Yeah. Grab a guy on the street go, you want to hear about my 11 gunshots? No, okay. People, people.
Starting point is 00:29:40 It says here, the incident occurred outside of his home in Hyattesville, Maryland back in 2004, back November, so a year ago. He said his girlfriend, Crystal Swan, was a of turning home from dinner and an Uber when her car pulled up or car pulled up behind doors in and without his security detail that night, didn't think anything of it. But as he got out of the
Starting point is 00:30:00 car and opened the door for Swan, an armed man emerged from the other vehicle and started firing. Quote, I was trying to cover her and I started getting hit. I went to the ground and tried to drag myself toward the curb, but I couldn't hear the girl. But I couldn't hear my girl. Sorry. Couldn't hear my girl. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Anyway, he took 11 bullets to his body, and survived the whole thing. Isn't that crazy? He's almost more bullet than man. I know. Good thing they didn't hit Crystal Swan. She would have shattered.
Starting point is 00:30:32 But it would have been a beautiful shattering. It would have been beautiful, yes. Little shards. Yeah. Unlike an ugly ducklinger, however the hell that story goes. Wait, it was an ugly duckling or was a goose. How's that, wait, hold on. I'm going to have a Pumba moment if I'm not careful.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Sure. Ugly. Oh, it's ugly duckling because they thought it was a, A duck. A weird ugly duck and it was a swan. It turned out to be a swan. Was it a swan or a goose? Swan, I think.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Swan, okay. And then everybody in the duck family was... Is that a signet? Is that what a baby swan is? A signet? Or no, a signet is a kind of swan. But weren't they... They were all like teasing it.
Starting point is 00:31:08 And then later the lesson is, oh, we shouldn't have teased him. It turns out it was a big, beautiful swan, you dummies. Right. It's the whole, it's the Rudolph story, basically. All right. Well, I can't wait to see what terrible titles you guys come up with. for my brain fart. Can't wait for the well actuallys on this.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Yeah, you know, they're coming. Yeah. All right, you guys. We're going to play a little call now. It's time for you guys to use the, you know, my goal is to have it up. Let me do that real quick. It's always my goal, too. Just sometimes it doesn't work out that way.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. Oh, I see what you mean. Happens to all of us, Brian. Happens to all of us once in a while. You know, if somebody would have gotten me my blue shoes from our sponsorship. Oh, yeah. Remember, I missed that opportunity. we should have, like, just gotten a bunch.
Starting point is 00:31:51 You used to try them on air. Yeah. Like we do taste tests all the time. Why not a little Viagra pill or whatever? Right. Oh, my God. Did you get the stuff from Bicholik, the, uh, uh, the freeze dried fruit? Yeah, it's real, uh, where is it?
Starting point is 00:32:05 Oh, it's so good. Upstairs. It's very good. We should probably eat some of that Monday or something. Yeah. Uh, if there's any left by then. Yeah. That's a problem, right?
Starting point is 00:32:13 Yeah. I love freeze dried fruit. I do too. Yeah. I'm giving Tina the mango, but, uh, Oh, that's nice. I don't, I'm not, I'm not a mango guy either. Have we talked about this?
Starting point is 00:32:25 We have a shared hatred, not hatred, but dislike for mango. Dislike, yeah, distaste for mango. I don't know if we've ever talked about it, but no, not a fan of mango. Once in a while, there's a candy flavor mango that I'm okay with, but real mango tastes like hairspray to me. I don't like it. Totally. I'll do mango in like a, um, a salsa.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Yeah. Totally fine with mango salsa. Yeah. And Tina makes a really good mango salad. It's like, okay, because it's got black beans. and onions and uh cilantro and all that stuff in there but uh if i've got the choice for mango just you know raw cut up on a plate eat that versus anything else i'll take whatever else there is yeah bring it on oh salsa sounds good right salsa does sound good right this very minute all right
Starting point is 00:33:08 um that looks like i got a call here to start us off from josh i'm going to go ahead and hit play let's see what it is this josh 3.0 it sure is hey scott and brian it's josh 3.0 he's Josh 3.0 here. I just wanted to know what is your favorite episode of Lost? I think mine has to be the constant.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Love the show. I don't remember names of episodes is the problem. Yeah, the constant is great. That's, um, uh, it's the one with,
Starting point is 00:33:38 um, that's the actor's name. I can't remember his character name. It's a, it's another, uh, it's like a mathematician's name. Um, Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:33:52 It's the Faraday, Daniel Faraday. Faraday, exactly. How do I remember that? How do you remember that? I know, how do you remember it? See, this is why it all breaks when Travis is on. Something clicks. And Charlotte is his constant.
Starting point is 00:34:10 And, yeah, that's, oh, that is such a good one. Played by Dickie Bennett. What's his name, the actor? Yes. Jeremy, something. Something. That's what always confuses me. I love him so much.
Starting point is 00:34:26 He has never done anything where I wasn't 100% compelled by his character. Yeah, yeah. Jeremy some. What's the one where you get Sawyer's backstory and you realize he's a dick? Is that all the best cowboys have daddy issues? No memory of the name, but I did like that one. That was a really, really good one. I think the John, John, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:46 the first season or first episode of season two where um where you where you don't realize you're in the hatch seeing everything that's going on see the record player touch and the food's getting made and he's like on the treadmill and he's exercising and he's going he's typing in the numbers and whatever and then you see the light come on that that uh happened at the end of season one yeah that's that was amazing nobody was doing this kind of tv at the time it was incredible. Yeah. Now these kind of reveals happen all the time in TV, but yeah. And then you found out
Starting point is 00:35:20 Clancy Brown was in that room with him, being all stinky, being Clancy Brown. Right, yes. Clancy Brown. I think my, some of my favorites were John Locke flashback ones. I thought those were just really meaningful. The guy that played his dad was so good. Just
Starting point is 00:35:36 everything about that. Yeah. And the Not Penny's boat through the licking glass when they're down in the when we lose Charlie and he's like, you know, they have to figure out how to play California girls on the keyboard and
Starting point is 00:35:54 to unlock things. It shows great. That's a heartbreaking episode. Kind of want to go back and watch it again. I kind of do too. Yeah. I thought about a podcast where Hammond and I even did like the first four episodes. I could tell Hammond wasn't really into it.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Not his thing. that show? Yeah. He didn't have enough long pro-rock songs in him. Right, that was the whole problem. And I think he had heard too much about the end and people's dislike for the end. And so there was just this kind of dread for him that he wasn't going to be satisfied at the end of it. I'm like, oh, no, there's so much and it's so good.
Starting point is 00:36:34 And I'm fine with the end. I think the end is also fine. I think that even if I thought the end was bad, I think the journey was still worth it. so that's too bad because that's a really it's a seminal show it's so important for the kind of shit we consume now it is it that thing set people don't realize how many of those uh mystery box tv shows oh yeah lost set the stage for and open the door for yeah everyone's all excited about the new season of stranger things guess what stranger things riffs on the same concepts totally they put their own spin on stuff but it's this whole idea of like you said mystery box but also
Starting point is 00:37:10 how it's structured, how episodes end and begin. It's perfectly suited for our streaming, you know, the way streaming services work and the way that seasons drop now. Like, do I even, do I even have anyone spend the money to make a Station 11 miniseries without it? Probably not. Like, it's crucial that series, even if you don't like the ending. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Boo-hoo. Boo-hoo to you. Here's Bobby Frankenberger with something. Oh, cool. All right. He has to say. hopefully hey scott and brian it's bobby uh haven't been on the show in forever so i thought it'd give you some um a little bit of science going on here in your mouth heal so quickly is
Starting point is 00:37:51 because there's a lot of blood flow a lot of blood vessels going to your mouth um it's also why it bleed so easily whenever you uh you cut it or something like that um and your tongue is no different it's in your mouth and uh that just allows a lot of white blood cells and uh platelets to get to your mouth very easily because of the increased blood flow. And in fact, the opposite is true as well in areas of your body where there's very little blood flow. It takes a long time for things to heal. And I have an example of that.
Starting point is 00:38:23 I was in a really bad bike accident a number of years ago, and the top of my left ear was ripped off. It was hanging on by a thread. I had to go to the emergency room. They had a plastic surgeon, sew it back on. And it took months for that to heal. because there's so little blood flow to your ears that it just took forever for that to heal up.
Starting point is 00:38:45 I had to wear bandages and go back to the doctor over and over and over again for months. Anyway, I haven't talked about a blub-blik-bliket, blah, blah, blah. Wow, what an ending. Didn't see that coming. You know, I did not. That was a surprise twist. The thing with the ears,
Starting point is 00:39:04 if only we had a national incident we could point to where it didn't seem accurate in the description of how the ear was blown off in a certain gunshot wound and somehow, somehow miraculously healed, even though I have friends who have high school injuries to their ears that are still a mess. Still have, yeah, right. Horshit. Whatever happened there, it ain't what they told us. Questionable. I'm not a conspiracy theorist of really any kind, but explain the ear.
Starting point is 00:39:32 You can't. Yeah, yeah. Anyway. Yeah, this all sounds right to me. Does this explain with all, they say, you know, where the blood flow is the most, you get the most healing. Is that why the razor cuts on my? Oh. Is that why they healed right up?
Starting point is 00:39:47 Did you get nearly bobbeted? Oh, yeah, we could ask that guy. How'd that heal up for him? Yeah, I'd have that work out for you. It was thrown into a field. Boy, if you young kids have not heard the story of John Wayne Bobbitt. Yep. The third John Wayne that we ever know about.
Starting point is 00:40:04 That's right. Right, exactly. And still not the worst John Wayne person. No. No, as far as I know, he only had a wiener in the field and not 50 guys buried under his house. So not nearly as bad. I guess the actor is the best of the three. He was kind of a jerk.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Yeah, for sure. Yeah. It's fine. You know. He didn't kill anyone. He didn't kill anyone. Exactly. He didn't have his wiener chopped off and then show up in a porno later.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Frankenweeney. I could never watch that. I could not even have a curiosity. I don't want to see your mingled ween, I don't want to see it. Nope, no interest whatsoever. No.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Let's see. We got one here from, who's next? Oh, we got one here from Anonymous. Okay. Okay,
Starting point is 00:40:49 here we go. There's a written one. If you rolled off the Grand Canyon, would you still want them to collect your bodies so they could cremate you and throw you a little bit into the brownies? You know what? Good point.
Starting point is 00:40:59 I could double do it. You know? Why not just have a, Why not just have a KitchenAid mixer at the bottom of the Grand Canyon that you land in and then... Yeah. I don't... I think this is an all right idea. I guess that doesn't cremate you is the problem.
Starting point is 00:41:13 No. Gross. Yeah. I mean, they could get out there, find the body, dump some gas on me, cremate me up a little bit, be fine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'd be right with that. Here is one.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Looks like this is, who is this from? Oh, this is a call. This one is from Amy, I believe. Here we go. Hello, Scott and Brian. Excuse you. I will have no. No corduroy slander, sirs.
Starting point is 00:41:36 I love corduroy. My favorite garment that is hanging in my closet right now is a pair of green corduroy overalls. So, anyway, but, you know, to each his own. Anyway, talking about a child. Let me hold this for one second, pause. I think that for whatever women, for whatever reason, women in modern clothes, look a amazing, and especially in fall fashion stuff, you guys look amazing in corduroy. What I'm talking about is me or Brian in the pants we used to wear in junior high. That's what I'm
Starting point is 00:42:10 talking about. Yes, because they don't make corduroy for men in colors you'd ever want to wear. It's like plum or avocado green or or poopoo brown. Weird brown. Yeah, exactly. Plus it's a fire hazard. Walking with those, especially for when we've got some thars that aren't as skinny as they used to be, it's a fire hazard. You're going to start, you're going to, yeah. You can't sneak up on anybody wearing corduroy. No. No.
Starting point is 00:42:36 And we used to, what's the Seinfeld episode, but George is wearing the suit that has, it's made out of that. Yes. Right. And the people keep hearing him walk. He can't sleep.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Right. He specifically can't sneak up on anybody. It's an amazing episode. Yeah. All right. Let's let her finish her thought here. Here we go. Injuries.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Yeah. I still have, um, my, if you look closely the next time you see me in person, you can see like one of my front teeth is like, it's got a, little bit of weird coloring on it and it's because it is bonded because a kid threw a rock at me and he knocked out one of my teeth but it was a baby tooth but it like really badly chipped the permanent tooth like one of my front teeth and uh yeah threw a rock at me and um that was uh that was a thing that happened and i will never forget it i'm not sure what it's protecting me from other than you know a three
Starting point is 00:43:32 year old little boy with a with a rock but you know i guess lucas from stranger things would be really scary to me right now but uh so so this seems boy that just triggered a memory for me that i had not thought about oh do tell what yeah uh this was when my mom and i were living this a single parent mom raising me in these really sketchy apartments i i dropped somebody off at those apartments the other day like within the last week yeah they still look exactly the same as they did when I was, uh, we moved out of those when I was 11. So I lived there from, from the time I remember until I was 11. And, um, so, but there were always these other kids in that, in that apartment complex. And during the summer, it was always like, you go out your
Starting point is 00:44:17 front door. You find a kid. You play for the whole day. You, you know, come back for lunch or whatever. There was this little kid who was a little, who was a definitely a brat. And he, um, he was maybe two or three. So I don't know why that played. go ahead sorry two or three years younger than me and somehow in the trash he had gotten a giant pipe like a big water pipe and he could barely lift the damn thing but he's swinging it around you know like trying to lift it and stuff and it became a game for two or three of us that we're going to try and get the pipe away from him because that's what you do and as i was approaching him yeah as i was approaching him he swung it back behind him and then brought it over his head
Starting point is 00:45:02 and down on top of my head. Shit. And I remember like, oh, God, that hurts. But I was like, oh, no, I'm really going to get you and get that pipe. And all of a sudden, he drops the pipe. He's looking at me after doing that. And he drops the pipe and is like, like, starts crying.
Starting point is 00:45:20 And then all of a sudden, blood starts trickling over my eyes. Oh, shit. That's scary, man. And my mom had to get this, like, spray. that made like a little plasticy, like a plasticy covering. And you sprayed on. Yeah. To stop the bleeding.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Exactly. Yes. And I'll be honest. I don't even remember if we went to the hospital. I just remember her treating me by spring some shit on it. And that's all I remember. It must not have been too, too bad. It must not have been too bad.
Starting point is 00:45:58 But my God. Yeah, that memory. Jeez. yeah that's no good man yeah it's funny when i dropped somebody off there at that apartment complex the other day i looked at that courtyard and remember that that that thing i have so that's funny because my very first memory is a human being is when i'm two years old i shouldn't remember anything yeah from when you're two but i remember my dad getting into a fender bender my mom for some reason it was in the early 70s it was okay to have a kid in your lap in the front seat yeah of course yeah
Starting point is 00:46:29 no problem. That was the thing. I guess to them it was no big deal and that would times have certainly changed. But I guess this launched me forward, hit my head on the dash and then I had a big bleeder and I still have a scar up here that you can see. You can't see it on camera, but if you saw me close up, you'd see it. The mole you can see. That's right. Next to the mole. But I've always had this scar there and apparently I bled all over the place. But I have a memory of mostly not the accident, but my mom freaking out in that car. Just losing. in her mind because she thought my dad, you know, the stop and me hitting the thing, it killed me or something. Yeah. And I remember her just completely just lunatic mode over me bleeding all over the
Starting point is 00:47:09 place. Like you would with a baby, you know, I get it. Of course. Yeah. But it's the earliest memory of my that I have. And then, and then nothing until I'm like eight. Right. Yes. Yeah. It's weird. Yeah. I remember, it's like my memories go from gotten an accident two years old and then Star Wars. Right. But it is. That's the thing. It's like, oh, yeah, the trauma. We remember. remember the trauma. Don't remember, you know, sure my mom and I had some great times laughing, watching a TV show or something that I loved or taking me out to the movies or whatever. The only memory I have of my mom taking the movies is that she was so ticked off that I made her sit through the animated Ralph Bakshi Hobbit movie that we, that when that
Starting point is 00:47:52 ended, we snuck into another theater and watched Coming Home with John Voight. Okay. And and some woman took her top off and she scrambled to put her hands over my face so I wouldn't see anything. That's the only memory I have of going to see movies with my mom. Yeah, because it's this moment of chaos, right? Right, exactly. Exactly. I wonder what year
Starting point is 00:48:13 coming home came out. I don't remember that movie at all. I don't have any recollection of it. It was about, I think, a Vietnam vet coming home. 1978. So I was nine years old seeing boobies on screen. actually eight years old because it came out in February
Starting point is 00:48:31 and I'm sure it wasn't still in theaters in August. Is it PG or R? Pretty sure R. Let's see. Who knows though, back then? Back then you got boobies for PG sometimes. Yeah. Like, what was it? Airplane had boobies.
Starting point is 00:48:46 It was 13. Yeah, it was 13, just PG. Yeah, Jane Fonda, John Voight, Bruce Dern. Pretty good cast. An American Romantic War Drama film. That's the description. American romantic war drama film. Well, if I think of anything as being
Starting point is 00:49:01 romantic, it's a war drama. Exactly. Love those romantic war dramas. You never hear it come up in conversation, so maybe it was one of those movies that just didn't, like maybe it's stuck for the weekend, but then nobody thought about it after that. I don't know. Probably. I've never even heard of it.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Wow. Yeah. Well, that's good to know. I wasn't, yeah. Because I also have memories of my dad like I always talk about throwing the blanket over the TV when a booboos come on. Yes, exactly. These things stick out in your head. they stick out it's it maybe not traumatic but at least it's like again you're remembering like shocking things and not fun things yeah happy things yeah like him getting up throwing a blanket is kind of like oh what are we doing this is unusual and then your brain goes i'm writing that one down exactly saving this for later uh here's one from serenex he says other than firefly what show was canceled too soon that you would want to see brought back mine would also would be alphas a hero's style show from the sci-fi channel back in the day i remember
Starting point is 00:49:57 Alphas. I don't think I saw it, but I do remember it being, it had a fandom around it. Yeah. Firefly, obviously, the easy one, which is why he's eliminated. Yeah, of course. Of course. Probably for me, I'm going to get a little outside of the norm here and just say, better off Ted. I loved that show.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Oh, that was so good. Although, it got two seasons, yeah. So that technically his question is one season, but no, he's just saying canceled too soon. I'll say that was canceled too soon. I'd love that show. If you're, if you're uncancelling of it could fix the last several episodes that felt rushed and screwed up,
Starting point is 00:50:29 pushing daisies. Oh, yeah. It was canceled too soon. Yeah, I agree. Man, that show, that was a special show. It was a special show. And I just saw Kristen Chen within an episode of Frazier, and she's like, Bibi's pint-sized assistant.
Starting point is 00:50:45 She's so tiny compared to everybody else on that show. It's like, I did not realize. I guess, you know, when you see her in things like Wicked and other things, they put her with other tiny people and she doesn't look as tiny but boy is she tiny. It's like when you see Holly Hunter for the first time next to tall people. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:05 Yeah. You're just like, do you guys just keep her in the glove box on your way over? That's right, exactly. She's miniature. It's a lot of Hollywood though, right? Tom Cruise, a little tiny guy, a little running tiny guy. No wonder he can run so fast. He's tiny. Yeah, less wind resistance because he's tiny. Exactly right.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Did you say a show? You did say a show. What did you say? I'd say, Pushing daisies. Oh, pushing daisies. That's right. Yeah, so. Also streaming currently on HBO Max. So if you have not seen Pushing Daisies, just watch it and stop about three episodes before the end.
Starting point is 00:51:36 Yeah. Yeah. It's a good satisfying run if you stop there. Yes. And if they kept going, it would have been much more satisfying. They would have been fine because they wouldn't have had to rush to get an ending on it. But Lee Pace,
Starting point is 00:51:47 I mean, freaking Lee Pace, who. Yeah, it was great. First time we saw him, right? First real shot of him. He is a.
Starting point is 00:51:55 He is a- He's a freaking bee specimen now. I know. I see like trailers on foundation. Like I turn on my Apple TV to watch something else. And it's like, hey, here's foundation. Look at Lee Pace now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:09 He's massive. Just looks like a horse, like a thoroughbred. And he's gay. And one time I saw him and I went, well, if I was gay. Yeah. This guy right here. Totally. Hubba, hubba.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Here's one. from Anonymous. The monkey is coming to Canopy. The library-based streaming service. Would you watch it? Well, I'd watch it no matter where it went. Yeah, this is the recent one, right? The recent Stephen King adaptation with the...
Starting point is 00:52:39 A little clappy monkey, right? Clappy monkey symbol, smashing monkey. I heard a good thing about that. You told me it was good. Yeah, I watched it on streaming. And it was had its over-the-top, like, Final Destination-style deaths. like it was all like Rube Goldberg
Starting point is 00:52:57 death devices and stuff so yeah it's I'm down with that it's good yeah it's good in a year of exceptional horror movies it may not be
Starting point is 00:53:06 one of the top cream of the crop but you know a good time can be had that's right that felt like one that would probably drumming monkey
Starting point is 00:53:12 that's right it's because he's doing the drumming do do do do I always think it's the symbol one just by default yeah I do too
Starting point is 00:53:20 isn't the old one like that or did it have drums the old monkey shines? I don't remember. Never saw monkey shines. I don't remember either. I just think about the return of the living dead when they had all the body, the zombie body parts and plastic bags, that those were all wind up symbol monkeys with their symbols removed.
Starting point is 00:53:39 That's how they got like the movement of the garbage bags. I have to admit, there's stuff in that. It's pretty innovative, right? It's fun. I went on a tear and found a compilation on YouTube of all the times Tom Savini, the special effects guy, that's yeah that monica wishes she could marry um he he used to go on dave all the time as a regular and do demonstrations of these horrifying effects and all that constantly and it is so much fun to watch i'll i'll get you a link but it's like all his appearances and it is it's wild and one
Starting point is 00:54:12 of them was we just finished filming oh what was it we just saw one of the freddies or one of the jasons anyway okay we he was talking about that very movie the first friday the 13th 14th, right? Yeah. And he was, it was 1984 and he was talking about the upcoming release of Return to the Living Dead and that he knew people who were working on it. And this effect is a lot like that. And so it was weird
Starting point is 00:54:34 to see, but it's super fun because Dave is super sorry. It's kind of like having Jack Hanna on, but imagine the special effects instead of animals. It's like that. Yeah. Great segment. I'll have to send you the link. That's really good. It's cool. The whole lost discussion
Starting point is 00:54:50 and has pulled both TV's Travis and Redfraggle out to be like, hey, if you do a lost podcast, a rewatch podcast, let me know we're in. Oh, look at all the interest. I just, listen, I'll be on it, but I don't have time in my life to start another podcast and do the hosting and do the arrangement stuff. But, you know, if you're recording half an hour, 45 minutes a week, I'd be part of that panel.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Yeah, do it and we'll promote it and, you know, make a big deal of it. Here's a message from Nick. I don't know who Nick is, but we're going to play it. Oh, this is converted to AI, so be warned. Here you go. Balls and Sack. I'm a longtime listener. Was introduced to TMS back when current geek launched and have been a faithful listener
Starting point is 00:55:35 ever since. This week, I was scheduled for an MRI. When I was prepping for the scan, they asked what I would like for music, or they offered the option to plug in my personal device as the audio source. I was a few days behind on podcast listening. so I decided to take that option. TMS 2914 was in the queue, which was perfect. Some lighthearted fun listening to keep me entertained.
Starting point is 00:56:00 All went pretty well, or so I thought. The nice young lady who was the tech, the performed my MRI, came in to finish things up and was behaving notably different that before the procedure. She seemed to be trying to control smiles and laughter, the same for her co-worker in the control area. I didn't think much of it, Until I hopped in the car on the way home and TMS started playing again.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Clark, there is blue whiner. It is huge and coming our way. Apparently, Jamie's penis-themed mashup was playing during the last few minutes of the procedure. And I can now only assume that the text could also hear the audio. The left of blushing head to toe. I'm a little embarrassed about it myself. 15 minutes of wiener is what they're, yeah. Oh, that's freaking fun.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Funny, dude. Jeez. That's Nick. It sounded like a lady because of the AI, but that's actually Nick who sent that in. Yeah. That's great. That's really, really funny.
Starting point is 00:57:00 A great story. Yeah, I went and listened to the whole thing, like I was saying the other day, and if a doctor's offer, a tech room had to hear that, I don't know what they'd think. Yeah. Because it was something, man.
Starting point is 00:57:15 All right, well, that's going to do it for today's call now. Thank you all for sending that stuff. stuff and it's great. I like the little live live feeds a good time. We'll do more of this in the future when we don't have somebody here. And big thanks, by the way. I got a lot of positive feedback and commentary about our guest
Starting point is 00:57:30 appearance of Dr. Nicky. They really like her. Oh, good. Yeah. She was fantastic. And I, you know, if there was a way to add an extra day onto our week so that we could get her in a regular, a frequent regular spot, I mean, we can
Starting point is 00:57:46 we can always, you know, add her to the rotation it'd be great to have her on. Yeah, if we ever bump anybody. Yeah, I was going to say, like, or somebody can't make it to be nice to have her. Yeah. Well, that part, I think we do that for sure. And if down the road somebody's like, oh, my new job, I can't be in there in the morning or whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:04 She's like a shoe in. I do her in a heartbeat. Shut up, Scott. Not what I meant. She'll hear this and laugh. She will. Well, there you go. Frogpants.com slash TMS is our website.
