I laugh at Tony Danza. The morning stream. Conan the Barbarian. Hello and welcome to TMS. This is the morning stream for Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025. I am Scott Johnson. That is Brian David. Good morning, Brian.

Good morning, Scott. Yeah, man. You can't tell it. Look, if I sit low, it just looks like there's a big white thing. but it's cool it's reaper from it's uh oh it's funny before you went all the way up i thought it was punisher yeah i think people think it's punisher from here to up right or here yeah exactly yeah and if i moved up it would be teeth or whatever exactly yeah yeah well hopefully people don't think i'm wearing punisher shirts the way some people wear them today they've taken on a bit of

a uh a bent let's put it that different uh exactly an unintended yeah Let's just say Jerry Conway did not have that in mind when he helped create that character. No, no, for sure. Yeah, I just talked to him. It's like Waterson and the peeing Calvin's. I'm sure he's not at all happy with. Yeah, I don't know. I assume he's not.

He can't be. I mean, I'm sure, A, he doesn't get any money for that. But B, also, you know, he probably feels like, no, my character would not have peed on a Ford logo just because he. He drives a Chevy. Yeah. That's not a, that's not Calvin. That's not the Calvin we know.

No, no, exactly. I mean, he's a rascal, but come on now. Exactly. I just talked to, speaking of Jerry Com, I just talked to him.

Yeah. Yeah. I think he still listens to this show. If you're listening, just a shout out to him because a guy's going through a,

a kind of terminal cancer thing that's been, he's been fighting it for years, but it looks like, it looks like we're, it ain't gonna go much longer. No, no, no. terminal like done oh terminal cancer oh shit yeah so he's probably not going to be with us much longer

and i just am horrified by that idea because that guy's awesome he's just always been great been really kind to us and to people on the network so hearts go out to jerry conway co-creator of the punisher and killer of uh du guin stacey that's right yes never forget and man thing snapped her neck yeah well he didn't kill man thing he made man thing there you go he made man thing, in turn, killed Gwen Stacy, unbeknownst to the Green Goblin and Spider-Man's faulty web shooting. Yeah, no, I'm

pretty sure every death in the Marvel universe is at some point you can point back to Man Thing, yeah. All roads lead to Manthing his fear burns at Manthing's touch. And you know he just stinks, just reeks. Oh, absolutely, yeah. Of all the Marvel characters, who do you think stinks the most?

And I think it's a real close call between him and maybe oh, I'll keep thinking of D.C. stuff that might smell worse. Yeah, I mean, Swamp Thing probably smells worse than Man Thing. Yeah.

Man Thing is less swamp and just more vegetation. Yeah, he's more plant than man. But Swamp Thing could also like, you know, when he was romancing Beverly or whoever the character was, his lady friend, he could cover himself with flowers.

So at that point, oh yeah, it might smell, it's like putting deodorant on for him. Yeah, right, exactly. What would you like some daisies? Like a little stick of secret. That's right. Anyway, Brian, garage door.

How to go? Yes. Well, the fact that I'm still alive in all my parts and pieces are still here means that success was completed, was achieved. The garage door now goes up. The garage door goes down. You can't explain that with science. And it went actually perfectly well. We had one step where we realized we did not tighten the set bolts on the two drums on the outside of the garage door, the shaft that the springs sit on, that we need to tighten first so that, you know, when you hook the cables in there and you start tightening the springs, you don't want those to come loose and have the cables come off because then you've got to start the whole process over.

so um once we figured that out and we figured out very quickly before we tighten both springs we um fix that and and uh all your stuff made it about all your all your parts obviously they all got there all my parts um i i uh um yeah no everything no no danger moments where it's like oh god that could have killed us you know like the whole process of getting the the however 400 pounds of torsion on the the spring itself which is the the danger part. That is the part that can kill a kill a person, is if one of

the winding bars comes loose, falls out, and this thing starts spraying metal, shooting metal projectiles all over the damn garage. But no, we wrapped it up. The whole thing took about an hour and 15 minutes. Dave went home. I started

cleaning up. I, you know, got my range, put it back in the thing, got these other boxes kind of broken down, put the recycling bin, went over to my nice container of all my ratchet sets and put the ratchets back in there and then closed it and realized that as I was doing it, I was putting the bottom part over the top instead of the top part over the bottom, which meant that all the ratchets, all the little, the, what do you recall those, the things you put on the ratchet with all the different sizes?

It was called bits. I don't know what those are called. Maybe they're bits, yeah. It's drill bits, but I don't know. All over the damn garage, many of them behind the freezer, which the box was sitting on. I will never see those again. I'm going to go buy a new ratchet set tomorrow. Is it a big, yeah, if it's a big freezer, at some point you got to like, do I value my back?

Do I want to do this? Or should I just buy? Oh, they're called sockets. Sockets, yeah. So then you just run out and get a new set. That's what I do. I go buy a new set of sockets. it's Christmas time. I can get it by it, which is fine because actually we broke the ratchet.

We dropped it too many times. We dropped a lot of tools. And Dave was up on the ladder doing stuff and he would drop tools. And it would be my job to retrieve said tools. Dave. Golden Retriever for Dave's dropping tools. Well, that sounds like a fun job. Yeah. Should have taped it. Coverville, the YouTube channel could I have. It could have been great for insurance for Tina's life insurance policy if we needed it. Yeah, there would show that you didn't do any of it on purpose, that the accident was real. There was no attempt to just cash in on your big life insurance policy. But saving four or five hundred bucks, priceless. Yeah, I'll take it.

If all the, if there's a price, if there's only thing you, yeah, but if all you have to do is get new rats at the end of the day and it cost you 500 bucks, you're still up on the deal. Still way up on the deal. $72 for a new set of springs. It comes with winders. with a nice pair of, of grippy gloves that'll be handy for around the, around the garage. Yeah. Yeah, that's great.

Went just fine. Congratulations on your new door. I do it again in a heartbeat. It was just fine. What does it sound like now? It's like, oh. It's quiet. Yeah.

No, it's like, mm-hmm. Oh, dude. There is nothing like a non-clanky sounding garage door opening. It's the best. 100%. And if you enjoyed that sound, Scott, may I point you to the third item, in our intro and banter section.

Oh, gosh. I see here, okay, I'll tell you guys his headline. He says, let's trigger in all caps. Everyone's mesophobia, which is that whole like mouth sounds thing that drives people crazy. If you didn't think you had misophonia, guess what? I think we're about to find out if you have a little bit of misophonia. So there's a couple guys, but there's one dude that I watch all the time for his Marvel Snap content, a guy named Regis Kilbin.

great he's he's affable he's not a cocky asshole like um a guy that i used to watch whose name i can't even remember anymore um but that guy like cut his teeth on magic the gathering and then switched over to marvel snap and it's just you know arrogant and irritating and horrible yeah but regis kilbin is great he's really really good i assume the name is a play on regis philbin right it totally is yeah i don't know what his actual real name is but um that led me so there's a new set of cards coming out this month for the new season and he did his like recap of all the cards and then there was another one that auto played right after not somebody i subscribed to rivian that i've seen before called res snapper res snapper yeah capital z for some reason and so i let it play because he

was talking more about those cards and i i paused it at the point that i had to turn it off because it made me angry. It was this noise. It was a bad one, eh? All right. I'm going to go right to your timestamp and play it there. So here we go. It's more sharp than sour.

Yeah, it's not that sour. Ugh. Maybe swallow the potatoes you ate before or whatever is going on there. And I'm not, that's sort of, I'm not nearly as sensitive to it. but that is bad that's bad that was bad that was really bad that was really really bad yeah that's as bad as that swallowing goblin in a legend that was on film sack oh yes yes where the microphone was just right up on this that poor gas phase yeah so you're so once again i wonder so you guys all need to email us or whatever and tell us how many got triggered by that that brief that

brief look into the hellscape like second of uh yeah they just made me physically angry angry. Oh, it's nasty, dude. So I know we're both sort of watching Frasier still. Yeah, yeah. By the way, I just took a drink. You guys are never known unless you just watch it on video.

You know what's great also about these new mixers? They're very good at me going, I can take a thing, I can do this. You don't hear that. It doesn't even pick it up. It's amazing. Yeah, the roadcaster duo, baby, right there. It's mesophomia sufferer's best friend.

All right. Get yourself one for... It knows when you've been drinking. It knows when you've been. chips. I heard those are going up because of those RAM prices because they use a lot of RAM in these things. So new ones, I don't know how much stock people have that. Yeah. Tristan wants a freaking video card for his, uh, for Christmas and we're like, oh man, now, now is the worst time. Tristan's pretty bad. All video cards haven't been as effective as much, but it's still,

they're still on the rise. But RAM is up by, I mean, in August, you'd spend 100 bucks for 64 gig. Today you'll spend $7.99 for that same kit. Yeah. Stupid inflation. That's insane. same nice stupid AI company's taking it all what are you going to do um anyway yeah we've been you and i've been watching frazier talking about that and um can i just say season 10 i think i've mentioned this before but something happened with season 10 episode one where they changed writers or showrunner or you know also say the way it was filmed or something the way it was filmed a lot of close-ups the first three episodes honestly feel like you're watching the soap opera with like the weird close-ups on characters that you're

following and they're talking and and reacting and stuff like that plus there's a kind of a soap opera storyline in the first three episodes that is um you think they were trying to do that like maybe they were like maybe but my god it's it's a mistake yeah it's it's absolutely a mistake um and somehow i've made it all the way to uh the near the end of episode 10 and season 10 and season 10, episode 18, I think I can, I can say with maybe just one season of the original series left, because I think there's 11 seasons of the original and then one season of the new deal. Yeah, and the new season isn't 24 episodes. It's like 12 or something, something, 12, 13.

Whatever we're used to doing now. Yeah. Promotions. But season 10, episode 18, features a, caviar storeline the a story is that niles and fraser find uh want to increase their social standing um and they find a russian guy who um has gotten gotten around the tariffs of caviar and is able to uh get them good stuff super super cheap and it's this complete russian stereotype i can get you i can get you much caviar

If you're willing to pay $40 an ounce, you know, it's like, all right, whatever. That's your A storyline. I'm going to say that's a little thin already for an A storyline. It's already a little thin. And it ends with them on a Russian boat. Oh, shit. Lucy and Ethel style shoving caviar into their mouths because the boat is getting rated by import police or whatever. know this sounds so stupid dude it is it is so stupid like they're shoving caviar into

their into their mouths i mean this is partly why i didn't like that one where they had to hide the body on the beach because it's a very similar slap sticky thing slap sticky right exactly now that's the a story the b story oh my god dross drus knows this this episode cheese uh uh the b story kind of the a side story because there's a bad B story too. The side A story is that Raz gets a taste of this caviar that she's only ever tried once at like a on a bagel at a Radisson. And so she tries their quote unquote real caviar and turns into a junkie like a like a you got any stuff you got any of the stuff and like completely completely takes her out of her character into this like that sounds so bad. Shivering junkie

why it doesn't work that way so so bad i understand like i want a hot dog right now i do i always want a hot dog a good hot dog but i'm not i'm just not like a physical addiction that's stupid it's stupid your b story is that martin uh uses an ATM and the ATM accidentally gives him $40 more and he ends up wasting all this time going back and forth with the bank trying to get them to take their $40 back, and every single time he gets to a point where he thinks they're going to take it back, they end up giving him more and more money. Where at the end, they give him $10,000 for his inconvenience. Well, he's a righteous man, and he's always going to do the right thing or whatever.

He wanted to keep it at the beginning, but Frazier and Niles talked about it. Oh, I see. All right. They were the voices of the right thing. They were the voices of reason. This was absolutely. the worst episode of Frasier. It sounds like garbage, man.

Sounds like garbage. I still have a season, a little over a season to get through. Maybe they'll let me do this one. Yeah. The next episode is a horrible one about Frazier helping with Habitat for Humanity to build a house for people. And he keeps coming over to tell them how to decorate it and to question their design sense. And that was uncomfortable and bad. But the episode after that, episode 20, features Elvis Costello as a new performer at Cafe Nervosa that is, that draws in a crowd, but irritates Niles and Frasier to where they have to find another coffee shop and they go around to other coffee shops.

That's right. This is, I have a memory of that. I do too. I kind of thought that was a funny episode. Is it okay? Is it all right? This one's okay. Yeah, this one's all right.

it's a slight it's a slight redeem of um of of the season for me especially because i like Elvis Costello and i just you know like seeing him but uh but man washing it's it's almost it's almost enough to watch the stink of episode 18 Kim just finished her yearly rewatch of the Gilmore girls and he shows up in a in an episode and sings really yeah dang you know this would have been a great video um a video round for uh oh yeah like pence all stars because you know i begin every

every game with the video round and um eldest costello cameos would have been a great one that's a good one i've got other i've got other ideas yeah something like that uh for sure you could do but yeah um he also what was the other thing that he oh no sparks is also in that episode oh really sparks sparks spark shows up in the middle of town are just in there one's on the drums yeah it's weird it's a weird episode they have all these like guest star musicians very eclectic group it just feels like the weird the weirdest choice for it's very odd oh apparently they they um there's a there's a video called every sparks reference in

gilmore girls apparently not just appearing on the show but oh amy sherman paladino a big fan must be she must be a big fan i guess yeah wow yeah they sing perfume that's right mollie in the chat huh yeah it's wild suburban home It feels out of place because I don't think the rest of the show matches the kind of hip hipster bits of the Sparks business and so it just feels out of place sometimes. It's really weird. Yeah.

Especially how they handle other music stuff. Like there's a B story through the whole series about her friend in town is part of a band. Sebastian Bach plays for it. Really? Yeah. It's a really weird thing, man. That is bizarre.

Okay. people love it though and i get it my wife's just a cheap every year she watches the whole thing the whole business yeah i don't know what her deal is that every fall that is almost enough to get me to watch the gillmore girls believe it or not yeah would you even if you had to just someone could send you the episode where these where this happens where sparks or or elvis costello or yeah i could just watch those that's true that's an easier pill to swallow I mean, you know, I do have a little, a little thing for Lauren Graham. Lauren Graham's awesome.

She's delightful. She's a, she's on Seinfeld as well. She's an appropriately aged. Yeah, she's a little older than us, I think. So, yes, I think we're okay with that. And by the way, people give me cheese for being so, you know, fluttery over Lizzie Kaplan. She's only 10 years younger than us. Yeah.

That's appropriate. That's half of a Ronnie. the limo driver and Stephanie Gap or half of a Elaria and Alec Baldwin Gap. Yeah. Yeah. We have lots of great, you know,

who's the coach of the I can't know his name, Bill Belichick and his 24 year old girlfriend. He's in his 70s. So I think it's okay to talk about. Some of those emails actually spilled over to me like I got an email where is it here? It's like

can't believe Scott is gushing so much over Lizzie Kaplan, how quickly they forget, signed Mia Sarah. Oh, that's only been a single episode difference, too. Wow, geez, yeah. Like her, too. She's also, I think she's also our age, even closer. She's even closer to her age, yeah. Yeah, or maybe older.

Actually, she is older because in 85, she was 17 or turning 18. Oh, really? Okay, so she's a couple of years older than us. Yeah, so we are age appropriate. Creepy, but it's age-appropriate creepiness. All right, we're going to do a little bit of news, and we're going to start it now. So let's do this. Here we go.

Where is it? Right here. It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. By watching you on The Binge from Sony Entertainment Podcasts. For anyone has heard Amy, aka Redfraggle, mentioned the tragic death of her sister. and wondered about the details, but felt awkward asking, or if you just like listening to true crime and want to hear a well-produced, well-researched show

that is so compelling that the people who lived through it found it riveting, the binge has a new series out called Watching You, the details the story in a way that other documentarians have not bothered to do. Per Amy, watching you is the only show documenting the murder of my sister in the aftermath thereof that actually got it right. It's available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, overcast, pocketcast, et cetera, basically anywhere except

Stitcher, because they suck. Podbean or NPR1. Go to tinyurl.com slash binge watching you for Apple podcast users. This will automatically add it to your Apple podcasts. Watching you from the binge

from Sony Entertainment Podcast. Go check it. I didn't know, by the way, I think, I thought Stitcher left, aren't they gone? I don't know. I don't know. They suck ass.

really did they were the worst. I hated them. I did them. The worst. Absolutely worse. Interface, everything. You guys are mad at Spotify or whoever you're mad at any given time, Apple Podcasts, whoever. The worst player and the worst business model ever was Stitcher.

It really was. They had a good name and that was it. They sucked ass. They're the worst. Yeah. All right. Let's get to this story. Speaking of rage bait, I just did a little rage bait right there.

Yeah. You did. It was great. a perfect amount of rage bait for this story, I think. Rage bait has been crowned Oxford's word of the year for 2025. Now, that's two words, but... I know. They do that all the time. Yeah, and it's fine. I'm not, not a...

You know, I'm not going to throw any fits. I'm not going to get rage baited about it. But Oxford's decided that this is going to be the one this year. It triumphed over biohack and aura farming, which I've heard before. I've heard both those. But to become Oxford's Word of the Year for 2025, the two-syllable open compound word refers to an attention-seeking form of online behavior

that leads nowhere good. University Press, Oxford University Press in particular, which publishes the Oxford English Dictionary, has names rage bait as its word of the year. So this is like online content deliberately designed to elicit anger or outrage by being frustrating, provocative, or offensive, aka 98% of it.

Pretty much. all of the internet at this point do you want to hear some of the previous years let's hear the yeah let's hear what we've what led here i feel like we sometimes touch on this but not every year yeah 2024 was brain rot yeah which i thought was newer

i've only been hearing the term brain rot more recently talking about stuff like six seven and skibby toilet and stuff like that sure um riz yeah 2023 yeah i remember that boy how how funny that they actually have a word in 2023 that inspires the word

in 2025. Yeah. These all seem to have a very similar They do. Is that really, like, is nobody coming up with like, ah, I've, the name for a tree stump has come to me. And the new tree stump word shall be big a boop.

And then now everyone goes, ah, the bigabooop. Look at the beautiful bigabooop over here by the forest. No one does that. It's all like how stupid we are. Dumb word, dumb new words. for things that already have words. I don't know why we do that. Goblin mode for 2022, Vax for 2021.

Lame. Let's see. Whereas if we look at Miriam Webster, polarization was the year. Like, it's not even a new word. It's like, it's just the word of the year from 2024. Authentic for 2023.

Gaslighting for 2022. Yeah. Which is a little what they're doing with these words, by the way. They're gas lighting. Yep. Yeah. Yep. I kind of like the Macquarie Dictionary, which is the Australian, it's the dictionary of Australian English.

This year is AI Slop. Oh, that's pretty appropriate. Last year, yeah. Last year was inshittification. Yeah. Which kind of is the same meaning as AI Slop. Yeah. They all go to the same basement, all these words.

2023 is Kazi lives, C-O-Z-I-E-L-V-S. The hell's that. It's Australian for the cost of living. Kazi lives, you guys say? Kossi lives. Phil, can you pipe in on this? Do you, do you say that? Oh, I can't believe the Kazi lives has gone up so much this year.

Is that what you say? Because that sucks. I don't like it. Or maybe I do. Maybe I do like it. I don't know. I kind of like it. Kazi lives.

Oh, man, I can't believe the Kazi lives is going up. It's starting to grow on me a little bit. Kind of is. Let's look at Dictionary.com. We'll go back to 2020. The word of the year was pandemic. Makes sense. Yeah, sure. 2021. Allyship. You know, when you, you, the act of being an ally. Right, right.

2020, 2022, woman, very good. Wait a minute. 23. Woman is the word of the year. Right, but why? Does that just mean it's a popular word of the year? This isn't I'm adding something to the dictionary. It's not a brand new word. Right. It's what their word of the year is. Got it. 2023, hallucinate. 2024 demure

I hate that one go ahead well you're gonna hate 2025 after all that right pandemic allyship hallucinate demure 2025

6-7 shut up they actually I wish I was kidding they went the the kids they've done it to us exactly

I guess there's no one manning the controls of dictionary dot com anymore no it's being run by an AI that's terrible let's see

Collins English Dictionary. Their word of the year is vibe coding. I like this one even tells you like all the the words that it beat out. Okay. Orah farming, biohacking, broligarchy, Planker, co-location. Wait, they did, this is for who again? This is for the Collins English dictionary. Because aura farming and biohack were also the Oxford rejects this year. Same thing. Yep. Yep. It's interesting. Henry, which is a demographic, an acronym that characterizes a demographic of Americans in lucrative professions who encounter difficulties. It stands for high earners, not rich yet. Okay. So you're a Henry. I've never heard that before. High earners, but not rich yet?

Yeah. High earner, not rich yet. Yeah. High earner, not rich yet. yet. But isn't a high earner? Okay. So you're in the middle of just, you're building your empire. Right. Exactly. You're making the money, but you're not rich yet. You're a Henry Ford or something. Last year was Brat. Thank you Charlie XX for that. Word of the year for the Collins English Dictionary. Let's look at the Cambridge. Cambridge usually gets it right, right? I don't know, do they? Because Oxford's letting me down. Let's see how Cambridge does. Cambridge Parasocial is their word of the year this year. Good choice. I guess so. That feels like you could do the whole decade for that word, but...

You kind of could. Manifest was last year. Hallucinate. Also, because of AI, like the fact that their weird shit is called hallucinations as opposed to what you get what happens when you take LSD. It's what happens when AI takes LSD, basically. Which apparently is all the time. The Australian National Dictionary Center, completely different than that other Australian dictionary brought up, says that Colesworth. Oh, that was last year's word. Colesworth? Yeah. Apparently, it has to do with increasing frustration with Australia's top supermarket. Wow.

So. Okay. To me, I just think of Coles and Woolworth. Or Woolworths. Right. Woolworths, or Woolworths. Oh, 2020 was Matilda. 22 was teal.

Why? Teal? Yeah, teal. That's the color, right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, teal was popular for some reason. But best of all is the American dialect society.

Great. What did we get? This year, I'm sorry, last year, Radog. All right. Sure. in shittification in 2023 and usy. Bussy? Oh, yeah, my Bussy, Wissy, or whatever she sings, the song.

Yeah, but just the end of it, Usses Y.S.S. Y, Usses Y, Ussie. Yeah. Okay. But all the different variations of Ussie that, right, have come across from. Can they name? What's her name? The artist that started, is that a Cardi B or a, Nope. What's her name? She's the

one that's larger person. Oh, Lizzo. Lizzo, that's it. She started the, okay. She's on a, she's, apparently something's working for her because she's lost a ton of weight, but yeah. But when she was doing that one, that was kind of her thing. It's not me being

rude, everybody. I'm just saying she's the, you know, it was her thing. So I guess it's anything that you want to engage in physical contact with in that form. So, for example, the Dune Popcorn bucket was referred to as the Duneussi. Really?

Yeah. Okay, I don't like it. The Deadpool and Wolverine popcorn bucket was the Wolvesi. Wolverine's open mouth is the bucket lid. All right. I have one other question before we pulled Dan in. A Calzone could be called a Piscese. Really?

Yes. A pizussi. This is what they probably phrase it. I want to see this before we pulled in. Does Urban Dictionary do a word of the year? They do. Oh, I wonder if they do. Do they?

Okay. Okay. Hold on. I'm just going to do the top one and that's it. Because if I do anything more than that, I'll feel bad. Hold on. Oxford.

Okay. Oh, maybe they don't. They just have a definition of word of the year. Oh. Well, stupid. Wouldn't that just be their definition of the year? I mean, it's not even of the year They just have word of the year

Noun, best word of the urban dictionary Within the length span of 365 days The word of the year is still unknown Oh, because they don't do it Okay Never mind, they don't do it All right, we learn something there They should

Yeah That's perfect for counterculture This Oxford shit, you know? Absolutely, yes So when you go to trivia, oh, we're going to trivia tonight We're going to Cheater Zone Central It's near this area of town

that I think just must draw people who don't give a crap about the rules because two teams have been caught cheating at this place and I suspect the third I watch some woman come out of the bathroom with her phone, run over to the table scrawl and answer and then run it up to the

Really? Run it up to the guy. Lame. No way to prove that she was cheating but I mean every other thing about it points to it so. All right. Well dominate without cheating and then make them all feel bad. We always do. Exactly. That's what you want to do.

All right. Well, guys, anyway, check this out. Here's a tangent for him. Be careful. May cause drowsiness. It may indeed, and that is if your friend

Dan Patrice is here to talk about board games. Dan, welcome to the program. How are you? Greetings programs. Hey, man. Hello, he's a guy

who never cheats. He never cheats. No, you know, who the hell cheats on trivia? My God. I know. I know. It seems so stupid to me,

but I got two quick callbacks for you guys. Do it. Oh, good. So the first one is whenever I hear ussy, you know, all I think of, because I watched, you know, way too much Ted Lassow even now. So I always think of that one guy that's in there. It's like, oh, can I get an ussy? It's all I ever think of when I hear that.

Oh, I don't remember that. So when he says that, what's he ordering? So, no, there's a guy. He pops up a bunch in Ted, over the few seasons of Ted Lassow. And instead of a selfie, he wants to get an ussy with Ted. Oh, because it's like instead of a selfie, gotcha. Okay. Exactly.

And the other one is the. age appropriate I got some age appropriate crushes for you because this is the season now it's very season appropriate for you guys because are they all on Hallmark Christmas films or something yes they are because I watch

my wife and I we watch way too much like Hallmark Challenge just stays on in my house all year or just the holiday no no this month like you know from Thanksgiving on because I love because they're just so saccharine and great oh yeah no this is what happens at our house and I have to admit it's become kind of

ambient. I don't really watch them attentively the way Kim does. She really likes them. But I've, I kind of absorb them as I'm doing other things and I sort of hear them or whatever. And there is something kind of chill about it. It's hard. I mean, obviously they have some impact because people are way into them

every year, you know? There's something also probably just nice. Here's something that I don't have to devote a lot of brain power. Yeah. There's two things I say at every single every time we watch one of these, which is like every two hours, they have them on for two hours so there's always the there's the three company moment yeah we're careful careful what you say

there well yeah no because there's always the uh the moment where it's understanding something that they're not supposed to yeah and it gets some upset and then there's the you had me at hello moment which is usually at the very end always they always recreate that stupid thing and it's always she's from the big city he's a local dudea who makes grows trees for the christmas kids have you have either of you watched the new family guy Christmas special. No, but it popped up on my Paramount, I guess, is a like you should, or no, Hulu or something.

It said, watch this. It is, it is their take on the Hallmark Christmas thing, and it's every single trope. That sounds all right. I think I'll watch it. It's actually pretty funny. In fact, I'm going to make Kim watch that. That's what I'm going to do. There you go. Perfect. Excellent. You have Danica McKellar, who is actually

the same age as me. So it's not really. It's not really. She's the race car driver, right? That's Patrick. No, that's Winnie Cooper is a senior killer. Yeah, yeah, right, right. Danica Patrick, yeah. I only have room in my life for one Danica. But, yeah, okay, Winnie Cooper, right, from the, what would you do if I'm...

Wonder is, yeah, yeah, yeah. And the other one is, and now at one point it felt inappropriate, but it's only seven years. I think that's okay. Yeah. That one is Lacey Shea Baer. Oh, really? Party of five. Didn't she get wacky?

No, Lacey should bear. Did she go wacky recently after Mean Girls? Lacey, I don't even see her. I don't know. I think you have to Mean Girls. She got on to like all of these. You know? Yeah, maybe that's it.

She might be buddies with Candace Cameron Buree because they're all three of those girls are like in the most hallmark movies of all time. Sure. Like top three. She's also in a recent episode of the most recent season of Futurama as Danica McKellar's head so she's in one of those

head things in in Futurama which is pretty great. Awesome. Anyway, so it is the time of year. So let me give you guys some great gaming stuff.

Also, I think did Lizzo go on GLP1? She might have been, that might be what she's been doing is, I think so. It's some kind of O-O-O-Zem-Pic

is my thinking. Yeah. Which is good for her. They're all doing it. Whatever you need to do. Which I mean, hey, if you do it right,

it works. That's why. I would say, you know, I mean, there's probably a diabetic issue that she needs to keep under control too. Absolutely. Yeah. So, I mean, listen, if you've got the money and you're willing to put it into work, because now it is, nobody's covering them and they are way expensive, even though Lily is claiming they're going to be reducing the price of everything, well, that's, you know, still remains to be seen. I haven't seen it in my practice and I see a lot of prices when I'm looking at, you know, claims and stuff like that. But anyway, yeah. diet and exercise everyone this is the season yeah right now perfect time to get out there

and you know do a workout in the cold wind for sure Dan we'd love to get some speaking of the holidays some good recommendations from you this year on what to be playing around the table what you got so it's I want to kind of I figured I would go with kind of things for stocking stuffers and things like that

not necessarily you know of course you can play all these and I will mention a few good ones to play one of the number one things that you should see probably kind of coming into the stores again. Actually, I say stores and plural, but really, I think it's a Walmart exclusive. And I think recently I talked about Flip 7, which was one of the

greatest games of the year, as far as kind of like the, especially the holiday season. Flip 7 is one of the greatest games party games and family games. They have a Flip 7 Grinch version that I think is a Walmart exclusive. I couldn't find any this past weekend when I was kind of doing some running around, but I think

they'll be bringing more into the stores now that the season is here. It can't just be out. I mean, I've heard people say that there are at other you know different locations so definitely look for that one it'd only be about eight bucks and it's a yeah and it's a yeah and it's a card game like it's super easy to carry along with you but also didn't it there was like a really cool when you showed it to us i want to say there was a really cool um uh latin looking version of the deck that uh it was like a special edition oh it might have really really cool yeah they have that's a it's just a perfect thing to re-skin i mean i wouldn't

me surprised if they had like a star wars edition or or anything else you know you can put out everything on flip seven especially since they did that for um uh love letter they put out a million love letters this is kind of an even easier one than love letter because you really don't have to change a thing other than art yeah the uh the one on amazon has one left in stock and it's eight so if you want to get that thing they'll deliver it by the 11th we're going to watch it disappear before uh before i'm talking i got mine a bit of go so I'm good so I don't need it if somebody wants it go over there and get it and then I want to see it disappear from the one left in stock that would be fun it's so good and then you can also go to different

you know when you go to the Walmart sites they'll tell you how many are in stock in your area and stuff like you said this is early in the shopping season so there should be a bunch of them a really fun one and I'll start putting some of these links for you guys I'll put them in our discord here um another really fun one is called hot streak this is so cheek like this is kind of feels like it's been done a million times. However, it's just a little bit different than what it is because you know, you have games like a ready set bet, which is kind of a racing game. This is even more cheeky and even easier to play than that because it's all about kind of mascots racing and you're making bets on it. It is perfect for the holiday season for the gatherings. It's it is about as

cheeky as you can possibly get and easy to play. Oh my God. This is great. I love I love the little the little meatballs on this. These are great. These mascots are just amazing. Just because in a way the box is really cool because it kind of pulls out of the side of the box and you have kind of the racing. And then you're getting kind of random.

You're kind of putting cars together on a deck and then you're making bets. You don't have one. Like one of these aren't you. It's kind of like ready set bet where you're betting on the racers. But it's just, I can't even describe how fun and cheeky it is.

That's my word of it. That's my dance. That's Dan's word of the ear. Cheeky. Cheeky. I like, I want the little hot dog guy. That's what I want. I know.

The hot dog guy is great. The fish. I assume I haven't seen the fish turn toward me, but I assume there's a little face inside the fish. There's little eyes in there you can see. Yeah. Perfect. Perfect.

But the hot dog guy's got eyes between the mustard layer there. That's great. That looks like fun. And it's pretty cheap. I think it's only like, well, actually, maybe not. all that cheap because they probably got to pay for licenses and stuff like that. I think you can get it for like 40 bucks, but it's well worth it

if you see it out there. Another couple of really small ones I'll mention. Mountain Goats is an excellent party game for family and perfect size. These next two are just perfect size for stockings between Mountain Goats and ruins. They're both put out by all play,

I believe. And what Mountain Goats is is, remember, can't stop. You know, I talk about I can't stop a lot in a pass. It's just a dice rolling fund. This is kind can't stop without kind of the push your luck however you're rolling dice and you're kind of climbing your mountains i mean your mountains your your goats up the mountains and if you get to the top you're getting some scoring chits but when somebody else gets there they kick you off the mountain oh no way that's fun then you got to go back down to the bottom again it's very easy to play

uh easy to learn easy to play and it just cleans up and two set you know sets up what do you call what do you call a goat meeple is that a gopel um meep boat people meepo meepo meepo Maybe. All either way, we all I know is goats are dicks and this proves it this game. Yeah, but this is great because I imagine, you know, when you're playing this, you 100% have to headbut the other goat meeple to knock it off.

Like, oh, hell yeah. It's got a very, you know, physical satisfaction component to it. Just knock that thing way over the cross the other side of the room. And what you really got to do is so in the rules it says, when you knock somebody off the mountain, you have to walk over to their chair and push them off the chair is what you've Oh, that'd be great if it's, if that was true. Yeah.

Have your own rules at home. Have your own house rules. It'll work. That's right. House rules. And Ruins is another fun little one with this. It's a little bit more to it because you've got to learn about trick-taking or ladder climbing. What's cool about ruins is not just kind of that just same old trick-taking or ladder climbing.

You actually have transparencies kind of like Mystic Vale just made by the same guy who made Mystic Vale. This is a re-implementation of an older game that he did called. custom heroes but it's even easy like because he kind of I don't want to say dumbed it down but he made it a little bit more streamlines and easier so each round you can kind of grab a transparency make the cards the numbers on the cards change and then uh you know you can there's a little bit other things but it's not really complex at all because basically you're putting down like either one number and then the next person has to put down a higher number or you're putting down a pair or three of a kind you don't actually mess with runs in this one like you do in some other games

uh like scout uh you don't mess with things like that is basically just kind of the the numbers and, you know, pairs or three of a kind. But if you do equal the person, if, if Brian puts down a nine and then I put down a nine, too, we skip Scott and it goes back to Brian. Sweet. That's where some of the strategy comes in. But it's just, again, quick and easy funds. What a clever way of doing that, like just with the little transparencies. How many cool card games could be made even cooler if you get to play a transparency over somebody else's card instead of playing a card on time?

That's really neat. It reminds me of the, remember the Intellivision? They had that stupid controller, but they would change when you'd put the cards in. You put a little overlay on top of it. The Vectrix has that too. Yeah. I like this. So John DeClair.

Better. But, yeah. Go ahead. Sorry. I'm sorry. Oh, John DeClair is the one I came up with that kind of system in Mystic Vale. And he just had, there's probably late pledges now, but he just did another version called Mystic Lans, which just kind of takes Mystic Vale. It kind of brings it more, you know, after a while, Mystic Vale can get a little samey, even with some expansion.

but it's a great game note but mystic lands kind of brings it more of bringing that system of the card crafting system into more of a game e game so to speak and he also made this one ruins here so uh so that's kind of if you like that system that's another way to kind of get in on that oh i like the art on this mystic lands it's not out yet but the the listing of board game beautiful oh my gosh yeah the Kickstarter just ended like last week you know like said they'll probably have some some late pledges if you want to get into that one Another game by our good friends over at Chip Theory Games is a game called Fight Five.

Oh, yeah. Another one perfect for. Oh, yeah. And I think you guys, you guys both have those. We do. We do. Yeah. It's perfect for this time of year.

I haven't had a chance to play yet, but hoping to this Christmas time, too, man. It's been tough. Another quick one. I mean, you're talking 15, 20 minutes to play this one. It'll probably, you know, may take you longer just to explain the game. Although it's a perfect, let's just play. Perfect grandma game. Let's just play.

Fight five. also for a little bit more ramping it up when I was talking about trick taking Lord of the Rings the Fellowship of the Ring the Trick Taking game which came out last year was kind of on a lot of people but it's now kind of in a little bit better circulation to stick with the trick taking but a little bit more

complex but again it's co-op so it makes a complexity easier for you. You raved about this one last year right? I remember you. Oh yeah I love this one because it's a lot of fun and has some complexity as you play a little bit more and that's what kind of brings it fun like you know when you start off it's pretty easy

everybody's kind of getting into the game and then it gets a little bit more in depth. I love the art on this one too. This is almost like the other one I just looked at, this kind of like stained glass vibes. Really cool look to it. I love shit like that. Anyway, it's really cool.

And then finally, the kind of the heavier one that I think everybody should get somebody even though technically it came out, quote, last year, this one came out is really more in circulation this year. I've dropped the ball and getting you guys links, so I'm sorry. No, you're totally good.

looking them up. This one is called Shackleton Base. This is Shackleton Base Journey to the Moon. It is a heavy Euro, so Scott, you can go to sleep per minute. Yeah. This is really kind of a... Oh, yeah. I've heard about this. This is the one where the game manual

actually comes in a separate box. This is so good. This is you can play it solo, you can play it multiplayer. You play it with different corporations. I make that joke, Scott, but what's funny about a games like this is they're quote unquote heavy, but to learn the game is not really that difficult.

Like, they put the heaviness on because there's a lot of things to learn and it looks really heavy. Scott, it would take me 20 minutes to really sit down and explain us to you. Then you could just play the game. And you know, you're an intelligent guy who likes complex video games. This kind of brings that same feeling where there's like when you push one lever, it then creates other levers for you to push later or things that just happen. Like it has a whole different cause and effect and you're setting up combos, it's just really fun. I love this game board

that's got your big circle, but then like all these other little paths and tracks all over the other side of it that look like they're all separate little, okay, well, we've established a base on this moon, but now we have to advance the

technology track until we can get the, you know. Oh yeah. I'm getting like a Stellaris vibe. Would you compare it to Stellaris in terms um that kind of game you know yeah maybe because you're kind of creating you know you're you're taking things off your board and you're creating things you know you're building on the moon here uh you know on you're building different bases uh and then you're going oh like brian said you're going up these tracks which then trigger other things to happen when you do use those abilities so and then

what's cool is there i think there's seven corporations in a base game you only use three of them each game so that kind of really keeps that replayability really uh you know really high for the replayability I love space too So I'd be in I think this one I'd be into You can play this solo Yeah you can play this one solo And actually it goes a lot quicker When you're playing solo

For all the games Can I kind of mention I know people want to look for where you can buy Some of these things There's a guy named Mo and Deanna His wife called tabletop bellhop.com They had a really great Every year they do this really good list

Of Black Friday deals I think a lot of these deals will still be active for a while. So you just mention a game and they have a listing of A to Z on all these different games and where you can buy them on a little bit of a sale.

I mean, obviously you want to go to a lot of the publishers or your friendly local game store, but this may be a really good way to find, you know, deals out there and where to buy specific things. What's his name Mo? Mo is, yeah,

Mo and Deana, Toussouille. I think it's Tucson. Oh, fancy French name. Toulso. Yeah, I like it. I like it. Really great. I met them at Adam this year at the Adam retreat. Just great people. And they're Canadian. So, so sorry. They got a little podcast thing they do. Oh, yeah. A lot of it, though. Lots of podcasts. They got reviews and advice columns. That's cool. I like this. Yeah. They're great. They're great people. And I really, this is one of these things that I look forward to every year because I'm cheap. So finding deals is a

always really good. You know, when you have a million people you've got to buy games for, games can get expensive. So you want to find a deal. Cheap, cheap bastard. That's what we always say about Dan. Well, that's great, dude. These are all going to be great ideas for everybody this year. And I hope everybody takes some of this advice, get some games and gets around a family

or around the table with family you like. And can I thank you guys and thanks everybody out there for Gamer's for Cures. We raised over $18,000. One of the top five events we had. So we're up over, we're near $195,000. in the 12 events or the basically the 15 years we've been doing this. So it was such a great success last month. And that's why I wasn't on last month.

I apologize, guys. I did, you know, you get, you got invited on to ABC News. Yeah, you did. The affiliate to do a little, do a little quick segment for the charity. So it was amazing. We had such a great turnout. We gave away a lot of games. Everybody out there that donated and you guys were spreading the word.

I can't thank everybody enough. Well, that's awesome, man. What a hall. That's fantastic. Well, I hope the rest of your holiday is just as fruitful and except fruitcake. All right? That's not good. I love you guys. Love everybody out there.

Mary, uh, merry, whatever you celebrate and, uh, and have a happy and safe holiday season. Merry Christmas to you. It's a Christmas miracle. All right. Very cool. Ryan, we got a quick email here. Let's get to that. That I shall read to you from Tom Robinson, who wrote in, says Scott.

Oh, yes. I totally understand keeping services. like dentist when you like them. If you only go a few times a year, it's worth it to know you are getting the level of service you expect. I live in Orange County, California, and move 20 years ago from South County to North County. I have the same eye doctor, vet, and doctor I had before I moved. Not only am I not having to get to know a new professional, but they have my records going back to when I was young. As far as the dentist goes, I had to change, or sorry, I had to change as not only did he age out sorry out but for an exam his hand was shaky i could not imagine uh if that

pick was a drill yeah i'm with you on that tom the thing with my dentist he's just too successful and still young and but now i think he wants to just do less dentistry and sit back and enjoy his success and let his yeah retire really go so that's the concern there and if he does that what I'm trying to do, the guy, this new dentist named Tanner, his last name's Tanner, Dr. Tanner, who's at his place. So at Matthews Dental, this guy works there. He's one of the four dentists or whatever that all work there now. And he used to be just Dr. Matthews.

And over the years, these new guys, his brother used to, but he retired. Anyway, this guy, Dr. Tanner seems to be a pretty good bet, but I got to have a couple more times with him, just to, you know, just to make sure, just to, you mean, this is your voice audition. You got to make sure he's right before you turn your chair around and invite him to your team. That's right. Exactly right. So be like, who's one of the judges on that show? I don't even know. Adam Levine. Adam Levine. Be like Adam Levine. Be like Adam Levine. I'd be very picky about who you thumbs up when it comes to your medical professionals. I don't even know if I can tell you. I think Reba McIntyre is a judge now. And who's the blonde one that was there all the time?

Glenn Stefani or. Oh, she was there too. Kelly Clarkson was a judge, I think, for a while. Who's the country guy that's married to Gwen Stefani? Can't remember his name. Blake Shelton. Yeah, he's on there. Well, good luck to them. That's a show I've never seen.

Not one episode of. We watched the first season and said, yep, it's still, as much as they'd like you to think that it's, no, we're not basing your talent on your looks. We're just looking for great voices. It doesn't matter what you look like. It matters what they look like. Yeah, it's TV, man.

This is who are they trying to kid, liars. Right, exactly. Let's get to getting out of here. I'll tell you this, folks. If you were like, man, I could sure love to go and get more TMS things like QuickTMS. Dot L.I. You like want to fill your weekend with a bunch of movies you haven't seen yet. Whatever it is you're looking for.

You can find it all at frogpants.com slash TMS. We are now approximately 34 days from being able to nab your early bird tickets to nerdtacular 2026 those will be up at the website up at frogpants.com. I'll, I'm going to have some kind of countdown or something. I don't know. I'll put something up there soon. But once, man, once January hits, it's all, it's all legs on the ground. It's going to be a lot of craziness.

And what else I need to tell people? Oh, today, Carter and I had to delay a game stream. We did our show yesterday, but we had to delay our game stream to today. That reminds me, we brought something up that you said that I was.

Yes. What did you say? I'd be up for that. What did you say, though? You said. Oh, Demio. A Demio lives a game stream. No, not that.

It was something that came up on. I mean, I do want to do that. But I was talking to her on the Monday show and I said, Brian's really good at that. And then I can't remember I was going to ask you what that was. Damn it. Is anyone in the chat remember? I don't remember.

I was going to bring it up today and I forgot. It was something Ibit says and I forgot. Anyway, or you did really well or something. I can't remember 24 hours later. I mean, we talked about some anime that DiMaggio did the voice again, did the voice for, but that wasn't it. I know Carter came up then because she was trying to get you to. Oh, right. Yeah, that wasn't it.

Oh, something that came up on the, something that came up on the Monday show. I didn't see the Monday show. Yeah, that was yesterday. Yeah. No, I didn't. Shit. Fixing garages? Was that it? No. It wasn't hair care. Thank you, Dr. Talvin. Did you guys do another round of weird band names that you've... No, no trivia yesterday. No. We didn't do any of that. I cannot remember. I brought it up and went, oh, man, Brian's really good. I should ask him tomorrow. Shit. No, but I do want to talk to her about the, uh, the character.

of you and I that she did, we now have a very good tool for turning those into 3D models. Oh, is that like the Modoc thing you sent me? Kind of like the modoc that I sent you, yeah. Or was it a 3D print? Maybe it was 3D printing related. Was that it? Could be.

Ah, 3D design. Damn it. Huh. I can't remember. Head shaving on webcam, no. Interpretive dance. Yeah. You know, wrong guesses only is turning into the best part it's a new segment we need an intro for it for sure uh all right let's get
