What could a young cop like you want with an old fossil like me? Hello, everybody, and welcome to TMS, the morning stream.
Starting point is 00:01:16 This is the date of December 3rd, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Ibid I, Brian. It is. It is one, two, three, two, five. Almost. Yeah. Almost some fun numbers.

Yeah. It's when the year vibes with the dates that you really want it to happen. Speaking of which, look at this little business right here. Overlay, NerdTacular, 2026, June 11, through 13, 2026.
Starting point is 00:02:08 189 days. Look at that countdown on the seconds over there. I figured out how to integrate it into OBS. But yeah, look at them. They're going away. Brian, that second right there, gone, never to be seen again. That's a second that I have not worked on trivia questions for All-Stars. Oh, trust me, it's a second. of us have not worked on a whole lot of things for this thing but yeah uh it's coming fast i figure a timer is a nice thing to have in front of your face so that it reminds me how soon this stuff is all happening um shout out to sylvia the lady helping us with our venue she's called yesterday yesterday and said hey i have something for you and i said cool what is it and turns out
Starting point is 00:02:48 it was one of these one of those four hundred dollar uh minky couture blankets the real warm, fuzzy. Do you get those over there? Do you get those kind of things? I don't know if you guys get Minky Couture. I don't know. I don't know by that name. Minky Couture. Yeah, real popular here. They may even start it here. I don't know. But they're very popular, very expensive. They're mall stores and stuff like that. And this one has a nice... Oh, pretty. Yeah, they're very nice. You curl up with that in like your favorite movie theater or at home or whatever. Just don't let dogs lay on it. It's probably not good for dogs. yeah super fluffy okay yeah it was really nice i don't like the name though can i just say i don't like
Starting point is 00:03:30 the name i can say to you that i agree with you that the name sucks yeah it's not good yeah minky couture you know who that works for people who have short crop blonde hair and sunglasses that want to talk to your manager that's who that name works for that's what's going on there i'm sure every episode of real housewives of fill in the blank contains one minky couture blanket in the background. Probably. Yeah, especially that Salt Lake one that apparently is the most controversial one now. I guess people love that one for, I haven't seen any of the one that's based here. I have no desire, but it seems like I hear a lot of like, who did I hear the other day? Oh, I was listening to Amy Poller's podcast and she was going on and on about
Starting point is 00:04:13 her and Kate McKinnon. We're talking about how addicted they are to the house, the Salt Lake Housewives thing. Really? Yeah. Oh, that's funny. That's the one that's got the the woman who went to jail and everything. Yeah. It's the fact she got arrested on an episode. And then I don't think she's out. I think she's still in there and doing her time as far as I know. Yeah, so it did start in Utah, confirmed.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Oh, Minkie Cotaur did? Okay. Yeah, 2015, five Minky Couture locations across the state of Utah and a thriving online store. And since then, they've expanded all across the freaking country. They've made a lot of money on warm blankets. good job guys you did it this right here this this photo i'm going to put in our uh can i copy oh i got inspect element and find that image never mind don't you hate that screenshot they're the worst screenshot it is the worst uh oh you know i did the thing i have to tell you about later
Starting point is 00:05:08 i'll tell you about it real quick i figured out away with a script and terminal so when you do a screenshot normally you get the little preview down there and then there's it hangs there for a minute and you can click it and edit it or it'll just slide away and then appear in your place yeah drives me nuts because I don't use it. I never use the preview. I usually have to slide it and get it out of the way. Right. So I did this little code in the terminal and now they just go straight to the thing. I don't have to mess with it. I feel like a hacker boy now. Oh, look at this image. Here we go. This is, this right here is it. Target market. Yep. Yeah. That's it right there. That is both the blanket and its target audience. Yep. It's a blonde
Starting point is 00:05:46 lady from Provo, probably. Uh, hug in this blanket. Yep. Well, she listens to Amy Grant. Yep. Not drinking coffee, but she has a weed card. Right. She's Utah sober. Yep, Utah sober. It's exactly right. Dude, that's perfect. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I can't tell if that's great marketing for them or if that's just stereotypic. That's right. Nonsense. Speaking of the things you get by, this really cracked me up yesterday. Hey, Carter, are you in here? Okay, good. She's not here. Okay, good. I think.
Starting point is 00:06:22 is this part of that Christmas surprise for or something? No, it's, it's just funny. So yesterday, she has her dog, big, big old Ripley, the the Weimariner dog. That dog gets, sometimes it gets nervous in the middle of the night and we'll yak in her kennel. It's just a thing she does. And you can't, there's no warning. She just barfs in her kennel. Is she good at staying out of it when she barfs?
Starting point is 00:06:44 Like, does she? Yeah, the problem is she'll like hurl at 4 a.m. And then Carter won't know until 7 when she gets up or something. So she's kind of living in there, you know. It's just not great. And we went a real long, like two months without her doing it. Well, two nights ago, or no, two days ago, Carter, oh, yeah, that's what it was. Two nights ago, she did it.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Carter cleaned out her thing and said, yeah, I need a new pad. I've cleaned it like eight times, time to order a new pad. Gets on Amazon, reorders the exact same extra large size pad on Amazon. Says it'll be there the next day. Okay. Overnight, she barfs again. It's Amazon for you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:23 She barks again on the, on the bigger one that she just cleaned. But then Carter's like, well, no big deal. Because tomorrow that one comes in. I can throw this one away. Yeah. She won't even, it won't even skip a night. And she gets the package.
Starting point is 00:07:36 And I got to witness this. It was really funny. Uh-huh. She gets the package. She opens it up. And she goes, they gave me two. And I'm like, oh, that's kind of cool. Maybe you won the lottery there.
Starting point is 00:07:45 She has like two of them. And she pulls them out. Nope. It's instead of the one large, she got two medium. so somebody there went oh we're out of larges what if we gave them two mediums is if that makes up for it no that's like saying t-shirts you're sorry your double x isn't available will give you two mediums that equals an extra large i mean come on right exactly so she goes she looks at him she goes and then she realized she has to clean it and she says this which i've never seen her do she goes son of the bitch like that and i laughed really hard gotta love the the the the the the The outbursts, the unusual outbursts from somebody who does not do them very often. No, it's not really her thing. Treasure to behold.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Yeah, it was great, though. So everything worked out in the end. Can she sew them together? Will they fit side by side? They won't. They have these specific edges that strapped down into the kennel parts of the kennel. So there's no way to really weave it. I mean, I suppose you could haphazard something, maybe.
Starting point is 00:08:43 I think last night they just did a big heavy blanket, older blanket or something just in case. And she was fine overnight, but it's just a thing. you know are they i don't know if i've asked you this before and if i have sorry but uh do they are are the dogs just destructive typically while you guys are sleeping and that's why you kennel him at night oh that's a good question um it depends on the dog so boomer kim kim choice or you choice or who well it's all so it's not really a choice so much is they've all just kind of been crate trained since we got them and they all go to them naturally at the end of the night. Okay. So they like them. Um, so usually they're open, they're not even like the two in the
Starting point is 00:09:26 kitchen. My, my two, uh, Rainer and Boomer, they, we don't even shut those. They just hang out in there. So they could go in and out as they like. They just want to stay inside it and they're not destructive at all. They don't really chew anything up or anything. But Ripley, on the other hand, I think would. She's such a hunter and is always like nosing around and stuff. So she'd try to dig into a garbage thing that she normally shouldn't get to or get up on a table or something. So she's, she's, she, she is locked in there but it's a big one like a spacious like a big yeah a small apartment great yeah and because she's such a night puker she'd probably walk out and just yak on the carpet yeah maybe it is better kind of keep them self-contained yeah the worst part is when one of them decides to wander
Starting point is 00:10:05 and this does happen sometimes and you'll hear boomer out in the main hall go do like one of her heavy shakes yeah yeah and it's like oh my gosh it's two in the morning i don't eat it but usually they stay put and in the summer when we have the window or in the spring or fall and we have windows open, they can hear sirens further away. So there's a lot of like 1 a.m. And then they react off each other and go for like
Starting point is 00:10:30 10 minutes. It's insane. It's good stuff. Hey, you ended up watching at least some of those micronaut things yesterday. I did. Well, I watched one. I watched the first one. I'm going to give it a few episodes. I mean, there are 52 freaking episodes that they fully produced. Two seasons worth, really. Two seasons
Starting point is 00:10:46 worth. Two 26 episode seasons of micronauts. And I watched the first one, and, you know, all right, I've got my micronauts, right? I've got, uh, Baron, Baron, what is it? Baron Carza right here. Yeah, Baron Carza and, uh, Biotron. Yeah. And these are just the reaction figures that just came out.
Starting point is 00:11:05 I showed Microtron on the screen yesterday. Oh, right, with a drill penis guy. These are little MIDI versions, right. Yeah. But, um, over in the closet there, in boxes, I've got a lot of older, like the original full size, biotron full size. is like this tall compared to this one. He's huge.
Starting point is 00:11:25 That's cool. Berencarza, I found that one. It was during some, oh, it was during the southeast Tadpool meetup. We went to Savannah, found a toy store, and I found the original Baron Carza magnetic toy with Oberon, his horse. Nice. So these are, you know, a long history of these characters and seeing him in comic books and the toy. and all that sort of thing so so I was really excited to watch this um there's a character named a croyer and there's a croyer which is based on one of the toys that was
Starting point is 00:12:02 called a croyer and it was the one of the coolest ones had this that's the one i'm waiting for reaction to make is the one with the big backpack with the two circular wings on it like really cool thing um he was also man he was one of the coolest Mike golden illustrated characters in that comic book um just just super cool a croyer white with this shiny red helmet it's just the original there's the biotron there's the full-size biotron hard to get scale on that but that's like pretty large right like you're saying that that clear plastic thing on his chest that you can see here in the toy yeah um this little toy would fit in the clear plastic thing on that toy's chest oh my gosh that's massive holy shit yeah yeah 60 bucks for these roughly 60 bucks not bad not bad yeah
Starting point is 00:12:50 if you can find an a croyer actually it looks like it should be pronounced acro year a C-R-O-Y-E Accro-Yeer Acro-Yeer I will admit that I'm guilty as a kid of pronouncing it acro-year until I heard the term of Croyer
Starting point is 00:13:05 Oh I had this I had this is something I had Which one? The ship Oh let me show you sorry sorry Oh you had the battle I had this yeah I loved this thing I don't know where it went but look at what was
Starting point is 00:13:20 awesome about this? Yeah. Those wings come off and they're pistols. And they're little guns. Yeah. Oh, I love this thing. You had a little remote control on there. Yeah, with a wire. And your two choices were go forward or go backward and turn at the same time.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Yeah. So it was like, if you wanted to, you made, if you wanted to turn your battle cruiser around, you were doing a four point turn. Yeah. And the missile things that were jammed in these guns, which were not very, they didn't hold together very well. But my brother and I used to be annoyed that they were so look at it. It's just a big dumb bump. It's like,
Starting point is 00:13:53 boom. It's a big, it's a, it's a dense rubber ball though. That thing, you know, you get close enough, that thing can hurt. Oh, I love that thing. It won't take an eye out, but, uh, I should have kept it, dude. I don't know what I was thinking. I still, I have mine back there in the, uh, in the closet. That's awesome. I'll get out and take a picture of it.
Starting point is 00:14:10 But, uh, so I'm like, oh, excited. All right, cool. Let's watch some animated micronauts. Awesome. Um, so like I said, they had a character named a croyer. They had, um, uh, time traveler as a character. None of these, and Baron Karza, none of these look like the actual toys. And I understand it was the 1970s. This is kind of dumb looking. I mean, it's like, you know, it's kind of Darth Vader with with four nipples kind of thing. And look at that head. I mean,
Starting point is 00:14:39 come on. Seriously, that, that head. This is goofy. Yeah, exactly. So I understand that things have to get updated. But man, they, it's, it's like it was a show about the micronauts by, designed by people who had never seen micronauts. Oh, I think I found him by the way while we were looking here. This is that guy. Oh, there's a Croir. Yeah. Okay. A croir was cool. Wow. Look it. He's, he's not going to make it through TSA with this stuff. I'm telling you. No, he is not. 48 bucks for that. And that, he is as tall as this biotron I'm holding right here. He's that, you know, he's that, you know, he's that short that's cool yeah i don't remember that character at all so all this stuff they're not it's just not one to one in this cartoon unfortunately right it's not one to one in this cartoon now
Starting point is 00:15:25 maybe later on maybe we do get some characters you know based on the the original toy line i still haven't seen a i haven't seen a biotron or a microtron or um oh pharaoh was really cool he came in a sarcophagus um there were repton there's kind of a little bit of a repton character you see at the beginning. I don't know. I'm going to give it a few. I'm going to give it a few episodes and see where we end up. Yeah. Exciting. We'll follow up everybody on the Micronauts journey that we're on. Yes, we will. Exactly. You have a request before we bring Brian in. What do you got? I have a request. So anybody out there by chance have an old Xbox 360 controller that they'd be willing to part with. Like, you know, maybe your your Xbox 360 has got the
Starting point is 00:16:15 red ring of death or whatever. So here's the deal. When Tristan moved out, he had his Xbox 360. I have my Xbox 360. He took my controllers with him because I'm sure he was going to play it more with friends and want to have some more multiplayer kind of things going on. Then he sold everything, leaving me with an Xbox 360 that I don't think I've got a way of accessing with any of the controllers I have, not the 8-bit dues, not the, I can't even plug a wired controller in there to make it work. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:16:51 So you need it to be a functioning 360 controller. I need, I'm sorry, yes, I do need to be a functioning 360 controller. I'd help you if I, I have two and they're both dead. Yeah, that's the thing. It's like I just want to, basically what I want to do, fire up that Xbox, use the controller to completely wipe it, restore it to factory settings and then sell the damn thing and um and probably sadly this is
Starting point is 00:17:15 going to be a uh sell it to um uh game stop or second and charles or something but i i don't know if i can get anything for an xbox because i'd want to give you back your your Xbox 360 controller when i'm done right right no you just need if you unless you want to give it to me in which case i'll sell it with the Xbox and i might have better luck getting more money for probably would yeah if you have at least a controller with it um while everyone else is looking. I'll also look. I've got a whole box of controllers that I don't. I actually don't know what's in there. So I might have one. And you're welcome to it if I have a working one. I have two that are busted over there and they're just there for display. But I might have one in that box. Anyway, along with me, everybody, let's all look and see what we've got. Hit me up and just shoot me a DM and, you know, I'm willing to pay for postage. And if you want something 3D printed or you want a few bucks for it, happy to do that as well. So, um, Let me know what you want. You know, what's funny is I just realized
Starting point is 00:18:12 Dunaway might have an answer to this. But we're going to find out now so we pull him in for a little game. He's probably listening. Well, well, well, look who it is. Lurking off in the shadows there. It's your old pal Brian Dunaway who comes to us from South Carolina.
Starting point is 00:18:30 How's it going, man? Hi, Scott and Brian. Why would you talk about Xbox 360 controllers before you talk to me? I know, that was dumb. That was dumbest thing. I've ever heard. I bet.
Starting point is 00:18:41 The dumbest thing. Do you have extras? Do you have stuff like that? I have two literally within arm's reach just sitting there doing nothing. But are they extras or are they like, no, I need this for my Xbox 360, Brian. Get to get out of here. Yeah. I bit.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Have I never showed you my controller collection? He's got a lot of these. No, I don't think I've seen a full photo of your controller collection, but I imagine that it is spectacular. Does it exceed 75 controllers? Absolutely. Does it really? Holy shit. Is it close to 100?
Starting point is 00:19:17 Probably. Please tell me you've got them all arranged on an IKEA SCADA board. Yeah. I wish I was that organized. With traumatic lighting on it. Oh, darn. No, sorry. Mine's more like a horror box of controllers.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Good luck. All right. I do have some functional controllers. We'll talk. We'll talk. All right. We'll see what happens. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:38 I was all. I was all like, oh, man, Ibit, my friend needs a controller so he can get us 360, and I was listening and so excited. He was like, I'll probably just take it to GameStop. I'm like, he ain't get crap for me. Screw that guy. Screw that guy. I knew that it would be like, oh, I really want to help Brian.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Wait, he's selling it. He just wants the controller so he can like to sell it. Screw that guy. Plus, there's no money at, and there's no money at freaking GameStop. They paid such jack shit for prices. They really do, but, you know, I mean, I could probably get something on Facebook marketplace for it. Or you could just go to.
Starting point is 00:20:09 You just get an Xbox 360 USB adapter and plug any controller you want into it. Can I? Oh, that's true. Yeah, they require an adapter, though, a dongle. Yeah, yeah, a little dongle thing. So, I mean, all that stuff uses right on the edge of USB stuff. Yeah. We'll figure out a solution.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Maybe we'll have to even do any shipping. We'll just see. Yeah, that might work. I didn't think of that. Or I can send you a controller, even though you're going to turn around and go get raped at the GameStop. whatever listen if i can um if i can uh oh my god just pulled up facebook marketplace this is the first thing i'm greeted with by the way i'm going to put it in our discord scott you can share it online so scott or uh brian can see it but um i'm just giving you all the photos today uh
Starting point is 00:20:56 for 900 bucks oh my gosh for 900 you can own this suit i kind of want this suit where's the is it Stiltie? Are they on stilts? It looks like it's stilty. Yeah. Yeah, it's totally on stilts. It's like, it's like daft punk. Do you have to stay up all night? I mean, you do. To get lucky, you do. I mean, that's, yeah. If you want to get lucky, then you don't. Those suits with the reflective glass bits are so crazy in the sun. It's an absolutely wild thing to see. Yeah. Yeah. Buy me, how much is that going for? 900 bucks. Oh, sweet.
Starting point is 00:21:32 I wonder if it, I wonder if they're a significant other is making them sell that. It looks like a, I'm sure. That is a, I'm sure that is a, yeah, that is definitely a, yeah, it's either the suit or me. Right, yeah, yeah. Sell that. I'm going to, or I'm going to go into my mothers or something like that. That's how that conversation went. but let's play this game since we're quickly running out of time for Tom I don't want to do that let's get straight to it Brian Ibit explain the rules
Starting point is 00:21:58 and what's going on Sure it's time to play tadpooly feud I've surveyed the tadpull on some nerdy topics Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us it's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess we're going to add up all the points at the end of the game and award some prizes to our two players
Starting point is 00:22:12 that you are playing for by proxy Scott you're playing for Skindrell the GameCat Oh I love that name. I don't know who that is, but I love it. Brian, you are playing for Lois Hayley, Mrs. Taffy Guy. Oh, look at that double-diffin. He was in here a couple weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Nice. Interesting. I see how that works. Interesting. And the coin of the day from Lois, or from a Taffy guy is Taffy, oh, there it is, Crazy Neighbors. Crazy neighbors. Crazy neighbors. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:22:46 The coin of the day. All right, let's get to it here. Oh, did I tell you they sent me a whole box of Spider-Man Lego mini-figs? No. Did they? Oh, Taffy. Oh, very good. Taffy did. So there's the set.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Sorry, I know we're ordering on Tom. Is that where I got these? No. No, no. These are Lego mini-figs. So you can get, it's a blind box. You don't know what you're going to get. But they sent me enough to where I have the whole set.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Oh, nice. It's like Spider Woman and Spider-Gwen and Spider-Gwen and Punk, Spider-Punk and all these. Anyway, so, super cool. Really, really nice of them. Very bad. Okay, let's get to the game. Sorry. Oh, God, this is something you guys,
Starting point is 00:23:27 I hope you can muddle your way through this. All right. This is a topic that you have no, no knowledge of whatsoever. All right. Put your hands on your buzzers. We asked 475 tadpoolers to name an Atari 2,600 game. Scott.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Yars Revenge. Show me Yars Revenge. Oh, last answer on the board. That should be first. That's crazy. But not, yeah, 10 points, but not the number one answer. Brian, any answer above it will beat it and give you control the board. That's how you say, that's how you should say that name or that version of Pac-Man doesn't matter what it's like, Pac-Man.
Starting point is 00:24:10 It's exactly right. Pretty much. All right, show me Pac-Man. Number seven. Good points also. So that's good. Brian, you've got control. the board just because your answer was higher
Starting point is 00:24:21 right all right then well number one I'll have to go with my favorite Atari 2,600 game which would be pitfall
Starting point is 00:24:30 show me pitfall yeah your favorite and the whole tadpulls everybody else's favorite sweet massive hit
Starting point is 00:24:43 yeah is it considered cheating if I'm looking right I mean it's not my fault all my Atari cards are right in front of me. I assume you cannot look any direction in your, in your office there. It's very difficult.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Very, very difficult. Frogger. Oh. Show me, Frogger. Oh my gosh, dude. I thought I was going to cream it with the 10. 17 points to Scott's 10 so far. All right.
Starting point is 00:25:12 So then I'm going to go with my cousin's favorite game that we always had to play on it over. We'd try to roll the score. I'm going to go with some Defender. Oh, sure. CX-2609 is what I'm going to go with. The CX-2609 Cart Defender. All right. Is that the
Starting point is 00:25:32 official Atari product number? Yeah, yeah. They had six. Proceeded to most everything. And then it would have it started 2,600 and then they would increment for each of the games. That's great. Show me, Defender. Oh, are you kidding?
Starting point is 00:25:48 surprisingly Defender 17 is where a defender at the last. Whoops, sorry. Atari. I love that. Atari coin sound. That's the Atari coin sound. I'll
Starting point is 00:26:00 Okay. I like I like combat. I think combat's on here. Everybody's got it because it came with your damn game. Yeah, you know what number that is, Scott? I've no idea, dude. Zero one. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:26:14 You're right. Really? That's what I assume. Zero one. Is it really? I got that. right? Yeah. Too bad. This doesn't go toward any points on our game.
Starting point is 00:26:22 I keep wanting it. When I think of combat, I keep wanting it to be like the Tron tank. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I know it's so not. Show me combat. Number seven. Okay. We're only a point apart here now. Nice. Okay. Okay. Nothing but the low hanging fruit
Starting point is 00:26:40 on this one. You guys have almost cleared out the right side. Yeah. It's getting weedy here. Which makes me think what's all the good stuff on the left hand side. What did people have? I love it. Could you guys keep also alternating so that Scott only chooses even numbered answers and Brian only chooses odd numbered answers? Why not? Challenge accepted.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Okay. Let's give it a shot. I'm going to go with, let's go with E.T. Famously E.T. Oh, my God. Yes. But who would say, oh, this says name. Name one. It's not a favorite. No, no, no. Famous because of its abundance in a landfill in New Mexico. Show me E.T. Yeah. Yeah. And Scott keeps up the evens.
Starting point is 00:27:22 All right. Let's see if I can still do that. Let's do that. Oh, that's a terrible game. Adventure, I think. Oh, adventure. That's a great one because if you watch the, what's the name of that movie, Ready Player One.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Yeah, that was the first. Yeah, that was the first Easterer game. Lots of Jow stuff in that movie, too. That's right. You got to go into the catacombs and find the pixel that Warren Robinette hid and drag it out so that you have too many items on screen and you can phase right through the wall. That's right. He's so good as the BFG. Oh, I don't remember. Is he the BFG? Really?
Starting point is 00:28:04 Yeah. In the BFG, the movie the BFG. Yeah, yeah, you have no in the book. Wait, that's the guy that was in the, we know him. We know him from something else. Oh, shit. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Anyway, show me adventure. Tom says it doesn't matter. Oh, I broke the pattern. Broke the pattern. Scott pulls an even or an odd number. Number three, though, adventure pulling Scott further ahead, 23 points to Brian 17. Nice. Yeah, it wouldn't take much for you to get me, though.
Starting point is 00:28:31 So let's see if I can keep this going. There's only three answers on the board left. So I think, I think we might run this before I even get back to me. Maybe. Um, you said Frogger. Market Frogger. Uh, boy. What's another arcade port that did well?
Starting point is 00:28:45 I'll, uh, I know who you're referring to, but I'm going to go with, uh, Missile Command if I, if I'm lucky. Oh, yeah. It was a weird version of that game, but it's so hard to control the, uh, the little cursor with that one blocky joystick. Let's see how people did. Show me Missile Command. Oh, it's your bonus. No points, but you do get an extra guess. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:29:14 I don't know anymore. Sure you do. Come on. Unlock your childhood memories. Basketball. Basketball. It was just straight up called basketball, I think. Yeah, it was great.
Starting point is 00:29:27 And your players were L's. They were Ls. Ells with different colored shorts. Show me basketball. Damn it. All right, Brian. Three answers left on the board. board i'm not gonna him and hall i'm not gonna him and hawks i'm gonna give me give me some space invaders
Starting point is 00:29:47 show me space invaders as big of the arcade how to do it home it did pretty good ties it up tides up shit this is our moment you need well i mean i guess you know you still lots of strikes available on the board yeah all you need is love i'm gonna go with because i want to but not because it's the right answer cubert cubbert puybert that's the sound you were making earlier too show me Cupert Cubert Cubert
Starting point is 00:30:18 Cubert was Cubert Cubert was low enough on the list that I don't see it I guess it was Oh my You people have forgotten
Starting point is 00:30:26 About Cuberts is time For our Cubert episode Tide for 30th place Can I get a Can I get a breakout? Please give me a breakout If you have too many oily foods
Starting point is 00:30:39 Then you can totally get a breakout Show me. Breakout. All those greasy foods. Oh, my gosh. Breakout number 14 on the list. Son of a B. I think they're getting, they say the 2600,
Starting point is 00:30:56 but the people really remember because I know Pong, Pong, but that wasn't really when you would get on 2,600. There was a version there. There was a version. It was a version. But I'm going to say Pong
Starting point is 00:31:06 because I feel like they just don't know. No, that's good. They needed something to play when you bought those paddle yeah the paddles I think it was part of another collection might have even came with Pong
Starting point is 00:31:16 actually was the paddle controller show me Pong oh goes into the lead number four answer on the board one answer if I strike
Starting point is 00:31:27 but if I strike and Scott gets the next one he could win yeah totally this is it really comes down to oh boy oh man
Starting point is 00:31:35 it comes down to the next three things you two say oh my I'm gonna go basic math no don't do that um how about uh chuck my friend who got me back has been sending me a lot of cards i'm going to do his because he loves river raid oh river raid's great riverade sure yeah all right show me river raid oh christ final strike river raid by the way number 13 is yours to lose scott is yours to lose that's right you have one you have one guess you're either going to get a strike or you're going to get this correct answer. Your win
Starting point is 00:32:12 or loss depends on the next thing you say. Oh, that's incorrect. I'm just too. The famous 2,600 title. I'm going to do Centipede. Let's go centipede. Did I say
Starting point is 00:32:29 Centipede? Sanepede. Sanepede. Let's do centipede. All right. Show me centipede. Come on. Damn it. Brian wins. Centipede number 19 on the list. this was this was a port you're talking about games where you could just play
Starting point is 00:32:44 play until you flip don't get home oh the score the 999 point score over this was one for me show me number five asteroids oh I almost it's a not a great version of asteroids it's a color no it's a colorful version it's chunky I played it this past week actually I found a cart that was unlabeled I think oh it's actually the one yep it's the one that's actually in my Atari 700 plus really yeah nice that Dirty bastard. Dirty, dirty, bastard. Dirty, dirty bastard.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Well, sorry, that does mean that Brian wins. I'm not sorry. Why are you sorry for that? Lois Haley definitely isn't sorry because that means she's going to get today's games. She's going to get a copy of Fall of Porcupine and Add Infinitum. Second game. That second game is really good, but I don't know what that first one is. But you get two.
Starting point is 00:33:35 You get two. You get Fall of Porcupine and Add Infiniteem. But guess what? Scandal the Game Cat, you're getting the game that Scott just said was really good, which is ad infinitum. We have two codes for it, so you're getting a copy too. Everybody gets a copy of ad infinitum. You know what I'd say?
Starting point is 00:33:50 I'd say, everybody wins is what I'd say. Yeah, that feels like an everybody wins kind of scenario right there. Brian Dunaway and I are getting together tonight for a classic game, which nobody can believe is well over 20 years old. Oh, wait. 28 years old or 27 years old now. StarCraft 2 and Brood War. Which came out the same year.
Starting point is 00:34:12 That's what's a weird thing. He had an expansion that very same year. But they were separated by about eight or nine months. And we're going to talk about its impact, some of the stories behind its making and why it may still be the greatest RTS ever made. Yeah. And why they don't make RTSs anymore. I wouldn't argue with that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Right. And it's a, yeah, I've had so much fun this past week. But me and Scott did not get a chance to play online. And why not? Because it's right there on. I know. What were we thinking? What were we thinking?
Starting point is 00:34:38 maybe we should just do that instead maybe we'll do that and then there's no show at all i don't know yeah anyway that'll be a little bit later i hope you guys have a fantastic time listening to us it'll be at 4 p.m mountain time brian guess our buds okay he's out he's out of there or as john put it very succinctly on uh core recently that's your average nintendo fan suckling at the teat he says yeah okay it's also a little misophonia but that's okay oh i was gonna ask how that would hit Probably not great. Just a little bit. Even though I just made that exact same sound, when I hear somebody else do it, it's a little...
Starting point is 00:35:14 Yeah, I assume it's when others do it. If you do one, it's no big deal, right? But I try not to do it because, you know, I respect... Your fellow sufferers of misophonia. That's right. All right. Well, well, done, everybody. It is now time for us to lurch into a different phase of our day.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Oh, you know what I got to do, though, real quick is make sure that I'm pulling in muted video as well. Let me do that now. okay everybody time for this isn't technology wonderful oh it sure can be but it requires one tom merit to join us and he does now hi tom well you said you said lurch yeah you did oh that was very lurching i was trying to avoid misophonia at this point i mean lurch is about eight octaves lower than what you just did oh absolutely yeah i can't i can't do a proper lurch yeah you can't that low that low is too low i mean come on how low can i go not very very low. No.
Starting point is 00:36:08 It's good. Oh, geez. It's sounded like someone's breakfast was working against him. Totally did. Tom Merritt is, of course, the tech maven we have on the show every Wednesday to talk about all the tech things that we feel like talking about. And lately we've been doing your questions from home. Tom, we got one from one of our own this week. It's very exciting.
Starting point is 00:36:27 One of our own. Well, one of the nerds that shows up on various shows, does some DTNS stuff. I think she's technically... Oh, yeah. Our science correspondent. Yeah, which is a pretty highfalutin title. uh, Dr. Nikki, she says this. Here's her question for the week. Instead of flying cars, what's the most futuristic tech that is actually around today, which people either don't really
Starting point is 00:36:47 know about or wouldn't have predicted because one of the answers will undoubtedly be AI. Give us a top three. Thanks. Your very own Dr. Nicky. Uh, something we don't think about a lot. We're always predicting futures, but we don't, uh, in fact, I'm doing that, I think, not this week, next week with you guys. Pork bellies. Pork bellies. Invest now. What do you think are our top three things that's like futuristic tech that's here? AI seems like the obvious thing. Yeah, I'd say we just leave AI out of it. Okay, I like it.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Too easy. I mean, it's either too broad, right? Because what do you mean by AI? Large language models or neural networks or machine learning or something else. And it's also here. And so it's like of the day kind of news. And a lot of you, I know, are scared about it as I am. of hearing you tell me how sick of hearing about it you are but I I think if we set aside
Starting point is 00:37:44 AI there's some there's some stuff that I recently was thinking about this actually and I didn't talk to Nikki about it so I think she's reading my mind quantum computing is making the noises and that it is one of those things where you're going to go like yeah I keep hearing about quantum computing but when is it ever going to come I feel like like AI it is going to be one of those technologies that one day someone's going to like just step over the line of of capability and and and you won't see it coming because we're inching closer and closer and then one day one of these quantum computers will be like oh that's really useful for this and some company or organization will say I'm going to make great use of that and revolutionize something with quantum computing difficulty with quantum computing is it's really hard to wrap your head around what it is because it's almost quantum physics uh And there's like a million different ways of explaining it. My favorite is to say traditional computers can do a zero and a one. A quantum computer can do a zero in a one or a superposition, like where it just keeps them in both.
Starting point is 00:38:52 The problem with that is while it's, you know, fairly accurate, it doesn't really tell you like, okay, so what does that get me? And really what quantum computers are great at is figuring out how to crack particular mathematical problems. There are certain things that your traditional computer will always be better at than a quantum computer, but there are certain things that a quantum computer can do, in theory anyway, that it would take a traditional computer, you know, to the heat death of the universe to figure out. Right. And it can do it in a few minutes. That's called quantum supremacy. And if you ever see people talking about quantum supremacy, that's them saying, hey, I think we figured out quantum supremacy.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Quantum supremacy is I got the quantum computer to actually do one of those things faster than a traditional computer. Because in theory, it can do it. In practice, we're trying to build a quantum computer that is stable enough because, again, it has those superpositions. So you have to make sure that those superpositions don't decay down into a zero or a one without you wanting them to. And that's a big part of this. So I feel like that's one that's around now. But at some point, they're going to get it working well and it's going to change a bunch of stuff. Okay. So when, just, just for the people in the audience who may still be a little bit confused, when you're computing on a quantum level, my understanding was it also meant that
Starting point is 00:40:15 if you did it, let's see if I can say this right, you did something in LA with a quantum computer, what you did then at that very moment in time is also what happens in. anywhere else that you that you connect that to that they're there they're there I think you're you're you're you're thinking of quantum entanglement I probably am I don't know no no no yeah this is what you're describing is a real thing it's called quantum entanglement where two particles get quantum entangled and it doesn't matter how far apart they are they are doing the same thing right so if you measure one in Los Angeles uh you'll also know the state of its entangled particle in Salt Lake City, without having to take the two-hour flight to Salt Lake City.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Right. There are quantum networking efforts to try to take advantage of that. The problem is they're not communicating with each other. You can't send signals that way, but you can't do things by reading it that allow you to sort of understand what each other are seeing and therefore take advantage of that. And so you might have heard of quantum networking, but that's a, quantum computer all happens in one location. Okay. And they do they look like they do
Starting point is 00:41:34 in devs and all these shows that try to show these like spherical or these like a, it's like a tube with a bunch of weird stuff on it. They always seem a little out there like Doctor Who level of tech. Yeah, no, the ones I've seen are pretty boring looking. They're just boxes.
Starting point is 00:41:50 That's what I figured. All right. Those focus for like flashing lights and a ping. You can do that. Just like you do on your steam machine, you can put some LEDs on it. We probably should. Yeah. Spice it up a little.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Why not? Yeah. Living large. You do have to shrink down Ant Man style to do, to enter the one of the computer, of course. Oh, crap. Of course. I'm unprepared for that portion of it. And then you risk quantumania. So it's, you know. Yeah. Which is a poor box office performance. Yeah, you risk the poor box office of quantumity. And a terrible idea for Modoc. Anyway, all right. So that's interesting.
Starting point is 00:42:25 I, I, I feel like they've been taught. They, the, the, the tech world has been talking. about quantum computing for most of my life, it feels like. Right, right. It's one of those, right? It is one of those. If you think back far enough, if you were alive, that's how computers felt until the Commodore 64, or actually the VIC-20, right? Like, all those computers were that that thing that was going to eventually do something, I don't know, right? And then suddenly you started to get desktop computers that you could use in the home. And even then, a lot of people are like, what do you need one of those for? Like, what good are they? And it, and it, It really was Windows that made it suddenly like, oh, I actually can use this really well.
Starting point is 00:43:06 And then Mac, of course, if you had enough money, you know, I can make some use of it. And then the Internet supercharged it. Right. Yeah. And so we're waiting for those moments, really. Yeah. We're waiting for them. We're actually, I think with quantum computers, we're kind of in the 1940s and 1950s,
Starting point is 00:43:23 where it's like, yeah, you can make a thing and it can do stuff, but is it practical? Is it, you know, can you actually crack the codes of the Nazis with it? You know, that that's a big step. And honestly, cracking codes is one of the things the quantum computers are very good at because they're good at math type stuff and they can factor numbers really fast, which is why you're actually seeing a lot of preparation for quantum proof encryption being done now. Yeah. So that you're, when you have your data secured now, down the road, when quantum computers do become practical, that encryption is still useful and doesn't get cracked in a half second.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Yeah, that would be good if we're more ready for that, you know? That would be really good. All right, interesting. So there you go. Quantum computing here and now, but futuristic still at the same time. Yeah. Which I think fits for the top three. I guess the other two I would throw out there would be augmented reality and robotics.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Maybe autonomous cars, but I feel like that one's sort of now, too. So augmented reality and robotics, I think, have a lot of potential to change into practical things. Yeah, and we're seeing big jumps at those robots. Some of them fail miserably, and it's funny, but a lot of them are downright. I just saw the Waymo, the Waymo video of it driving through an active crime scene with police and everything. Oh, a car, you're saying. One of the driverless cars. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Yeah. But as far as like the robot tech goes, some of them are, what was the one we watched, the Russian one that crashed and burned and here on the show? I think we talked about it. Oh, the robot. Yeah, they just like fell down and like, yeah. But a lot of them are not like, of like, of course you see the video of those, but I've seen plenty of videos of really amazing bipedal activity from a robot. Humanoid robots. Yeah, it's wild. So we're kind of there's a lot of, I feel like with robotics were, we're almost more in that 1970s computer. era of lots of attempts being made, lots of impressive demonstrations being done, but we have yet to have the IBM PC or the or the Mac version of the robot yet. So we're kind of waiting on that. It's funny, China just officially issued a warning against a robotics bubble in China because there are so many startups getting funding to do robotics research. And there They're worried that it's driving down the price and it's a race to the bottom. And they're like, you know, we want to make sure we make good advances in robotics.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Yeah. Although I do, when I get mine, I'd like him to be cheap and affordable. That would be nice. Probably not going to happen. Yeah. Yeah. Not just one of the other. No.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Because affordable is one thing, right? You can get by by a hair. But if it's cheap. Oh, yeah. But I also don't want it to overheat and kill us all. You don't want it to be cheaply made, though. Yeah. You want it to be cheap to buy.
Starting point is 00:46:18 Yeah. Like, and none of this, back to the quantum competing requirements, quick. None of this is like, hey, Scott and Brian, your video version of the show that you put up every day, well, it'll be instantaneous with quantum computing. We're not there with any of that. That's a networking thing. That's not a, yeah. But, you know, could quantum computers supercharge some of these large language models ability to handle math and stuff? You know, like, oh, let me call the quantum computer and ask it to do that problem for you done instantly. Right. You know, for really difficult processing. I don't think we even know what all quantum computers will change
Starting point is 00:46:57 until we get one that is capable and working and people can start, you know, messing around with it. And there are quantum computers that scientists can now, you know, rent time on and research on. But they're really slow. They're just kind of, they're there. We've sort of just barely reached quantum supremacy. So it's going to take a while before we get to the ones where we can really start throwing stuff out. Is there a heat thing with those, I assume? Like probably a massive, like, cooling situation that has to happen or not? No, not that I know of.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Not any more so than any processor that you talk about. Oh, that's good then. I like that. I'm tired of using all their water to cool things, you know? You know, the whole water thing, just let's create self-contained systems that don't send the water away. I agree. Keep using the water. You can do that.
Starting point is 00:47:48 I know it's more costly. And a lot of data centers are doing that. Do that more. Yeah, there is more of that. I hear a lot more of that happening and new innovations in that regard. So that's good. That's a good thing. Use the water you got and quit. And it was because of a question we got about it on this show that really got me thinking about all that stuff. So I appreciate these questions. Yes. Thank you for your question.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Nikki, you did a great job with that one. That was fantastic. And we look forward to more. You guys just keep sending them in. We love them. I'll basically pass any good ones past Tom. That was the caveat out there, good ones. Yeah. And so far, everyone you've passed has been good. It makes it sound like a kidney stone.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Sure. It's been great. Yeah, much better than a kidney stone in every case. Oh, yeah. No, there's no such thing as a good kidney stone as far as I'm aware. Well, there you go. Tom Merritt, anything else happening in your world you'd like to tell people about. Indeed, there is.
Starting point is 00:48:45 You can now order the version of synced. as an e-book, wherever fine e-books are vended. Sinked is my book to help you know a little more about tech. It's got a section on quantum computing. It's got sections on AI and autonomous computers and robotics and an augmented reality. It's all in the book, Sinked, available for less than $10. Go check it out wherever you buy e-books or at Daily Technewshow.com slash store. You know what?
Starting point is 00:49:16 That's a hell of a price. Most books are more than that. you know what I mean? You can't even get a cup of coffee in L.A. for that these days. That's right. So go take advantage of it. You bunch of weirdos. And make sure to wait for the sequel, Sinkid for Good.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Now I have to write that. Or heat sinked. How about that? And then they were talking about the water thing. You can do all that. Tom Merritt, everybody. Ace Detect everywhere you see him. We'll see you next time.
Starting point is 00:49:42 All right. That was fun. Yeah. Ryan, I got a quick news story that I'd like to share with you. All right. Sounds good. Did you, by the way, did you see the video of that Waymo car? No, I'd like to.
Starting point is 00:49:53 It's, uh, let's see if I can find it. You have it? I'd love to look at it. Yeah. Yeah, it's, it's fantastic. Basically, there's like an active situation, cops on the ground holding guns at this, this guy that they've pulled over it. Here we go. Uh, putting it in our Discord chat right now.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Cool. And this is just supposed to be one of their autonomous cars. There's nobody in it. Nope. Okay. There might be a passenger. I don't know. but uh waymo robo taxi drives you active oh because it doesn't know it's active but it just is going
Starting point is 00:50:24 so that white truck the guy is getting out of the white truck on the ground oh how annoying must that be dude I think what happened is we basically found a a scenario where this is a problem you know where where yeah where it doesn't yeah right right video the little capture things that it does around it cannot figure out oh okay uh siren lights you know uh police lights nothing it's got yeah like they probably didn't think this is like when you make a video game and you didn't really think of all the ways your players are going to break it until you put it out in the wild because overall i mean i think waymo's got a pretty good track
Starting point is 00:51:07 record supposed to be doing pretty well otherwise yeah yeah that's funny it's too bad that guy didn't go here's my chance get up and run jump in that car and What's great is you've got, I don't know if there's audio, but the article describes that police officers are going, go, get out of here, get out of here. Oh, they're yelling at the car. See, there's a shorter, let's see if I can get it to play audio, because that's, that's pretty freaking funny. Hold on. Here we go. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:51:37 In this video taken in downtown L.A., what the fuck is that waymo doing? You can see a line of police cars blocking the road and a man lying on the ground. lying on the ground. Enter this Waymo driverless taxi, which while servicing riders, proceeds to take a left turn driving right past the active police stop and officers who moments later are seen walking towards the subject with weapons drawn. Waymo telling NBC News that Okay, so is the, is the, there is someone in there then? A passenger says servicing passengers. I guess so, yeah. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:52:12 That's amazing. all right good find great stuff um all right here's this uh quick story speaking of l a yeah yeah yeah l a man is charged with stopping freeway traffic to film music video not too far from this story a little bit if his name is not spike jones or uh michel gondry or anything like that then you know fat boy slim no anybody but these guys i think they all go through probably the proper channels probably do yeah probably plus don't they just a lot of stuff's faked now you don't have to actually do this anymore but like gone of the days what is it um i could use sora and make a video of myself stopping traffic in a music video
Starting point is 00:52:54 did you see somebody made you into um what's a bond villain guy uh oh odd job or something no it's um with the cat uh blowfeld blowfeld you're i didn't see the whole video when i saw the photo of i have uh i am so far behind on looking at other people's sorrows of me. There's one of you out there that it seemed to, you, you do it so much, it's like it's your job all of a sudden. And you know who you are. Oh, yeah, that person knows. I get so many notifications about new videos from this person. It's like, okay, all right, slow down. Yeah, and the one, the newlyweds one was a little rough. That's all I'm saying. That was a little rough. Oh, yeah. I like the newlyweds. Oh, man. It's great because it's, it's, uh,
Starting point is 00:53:39 Gene Rayburn's voice and clearly not, you know, Bob, you know, Bob, who was the host of the newlywed game but it's it's like the perfect 70s game show host and it sounds just like jean rayber and here's the thing i'm noticing people are putting you and i together so often yeah i think the model starting to break because it has no idea whose voice is who's no not only that but your face will meld into my face yeah i'll have suddenly you'll have my features yeah but it's you vice versa yeah it's and it's weird combinations of those things like it's starting to lose its mind that SORA apparently watches TMS but can't keep track of who's who. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:16 I think what it is. I think it's that, what do you call it? Not hallucinations. It's the other thing that they start to do. Slop or, oh, the, no, it's like a, it's like you overtraining it or it's, it's training on its own data and it becomes kind of, not incestuous. It's not the right word. Self-replicating, but like, yeah, like it.
Starting point is 00:54:38 That idea, we always talk about it like on a copy machine, too many, too many Xerox copies. The Xerox. Yeah, it's starting to do that, I think. Yeah. Not great. Nope. It's not great. Anyway, this man shut down the freeway in Los Angeles so he could film his 20-23 music video to gain some online fame.
Starting point is 00:54:57 Eduardo Eric Martinez, age 32, group of drivers, stopped northbound traffic on the 110 freeway near the ninth street off ramp on November of that year. According to Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, several vehicles blocked the lanes as afternoon. traffic swelled. Oh my gosh. With the clothes, it's already sucks. It's already bad. Yeah. I'd be so mad at this guy. Oh, I would be too.
Starting point is 00:55:21 He's lucky he didn't get shot or something. Afternoon traffic. This is like the beginning of rush hour and on a freeway that already gets clogged. Mm-hmm. Oh, look at this. This is the worst. Mr. Martinez stood in the halted traffic and began recording a music video while drivers in the group perform tight spinning maneuvers known as donuts around him.
Starting point is 00:55:42 they're doing donuts around him. I want to see the video. I know. Is there video of this? I don't see it in the New York Times article, but... Yeah, it just says videos of the stunt later circulated online, but they don't link one. Yeah, I'll find it. I will find this.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Sleuth in that shit. District attorney Nathan Hachman of Los Angeles County, California, said in a statement that the highway takeover stunts had been, or sorry, spread across Southern California in recent years, driven by the pursuit. of online fame. Maybe pursue it less, people. Maybe it's not worth it. Okay, here we go.
Starting point is 00:56:21 Ready? You found it? Put it in. I found it. Michelle start at 22 seconds, copy and paste. And it's paused right at the moment you're seeing him doing this. Oh, my God. I'm going to be very annoyed.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Here it is. Yes, you will. Let me turn on them. He's allegedly arranged for several vehicles to block the Northbound lanes so he could recalls in 2020. There he is. Martin is allegedly arranged for several vehicles to block the north. That's some horseshit.
Starting point is 00:56:53 He deserves every bit of outrage he gets for that. Don't do that. Don't do that. Yeah, he's going to go to jail for that. All right, one quick message from a listener. This comes to us from Hans Fried. Hans Fried. And he says that he sounds like free hotel room here, but I'm just going to read it.
Starting point is 00:57:14 I don't. First thing I thought when I saw it. It's like, this is him. Anyway, crevice and crevasse are two different words. They have separate pronunciations and meanings. Cravasse ends with ass. All right. That last line is the most free hotel room thing ever.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Yeah. I think that's who it might be. Yes, it's size, right? Crevasse is huge, huge, massive crack. a fissure in the in the ground while a crevice is like a sidewalk crack that is split apart a little bit crevice and at what point do we determine that the thing's big enough to go crevasse rather than crevice yeah what when your ass can fall into it yeah oh there you go that's yeah it's like it's like remembering stalactites versus stalagmites you say oh it's a crevice
Starting point is 00:58:01 unless your ass can fall into it in which case it becomes a crevasse I like it you could go further and say it's a crevice which has vice in it which is a little place you could hide your weed at your little vice right there oh got you i was thinking like a little grippy clampy oh that kind of vice yeah i was thinking miami vice sort of i like yours better which does not i watched a tv episode the other day in the background i hate to say it guys i'm a huge fan love michael man love miami vice or i loved it in the day i'm not so sure it holds up i have not watched it since we watched it for film sack yeah yeah the movies i still the movie's okay.

Music was really good. That Jan Hummer. Oh, yeah, dude, that stuff was awesome. And that stuff, I think, still holds up. It's a little catchy for the era, but it's still
Starting point is 00:58:58 good. And when he's out driving in the night with his, like, Testorosa Ferrari. Yeah. And having that happen is all good.

Starting point is 00:59:49 one, by the way, who wrote a lot of the questions when we did the pond, and we need to do that again. The Pond was such a fun little diversion from the usual Friday play date. Maybe we do one at the end of this year. Yeah, that'd be all right. Absolutely. Boxing Day pond or something like that.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Maybe not, because we're taking some time off from the show a few days. But anyway, we'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. But she's got a Xbox 360 controller with a little bit of drift. She's like, yeah, it's yours. Just pay for postage. Yeah, those are really hard to fix if they're drifting, so, and it'll work for what you need.
Starting point is 01:00:23 It'll work for what I need, and then I can just get rid of this thing. Nice. Excellent. So, how about a request? This one comes from Yana.
