Oh, and if you guys aren't too busy, could you please just go to hell? The morning stream, you are listening to Adel Dezim. Hello everybody and welcome to TMS. This is the morning stream for Tuesday, December 16th, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That is Brian DeBitt. Yes, it is. diplomatic community.

Good to see you. Good to see everybody in the chat. Good to see us here today. You know? It's a Tuesday. Yeah, for sure. The garbage is getting taken out. I love that.

Can hear the truck right now right behind me. Oh, yeah. Take my garbage, baby. Nice. I'm glad we can't hear it. Although there's something kind of, there's something that's just kind of comforting about the, oh, it's great, especially when you got some, like, stinky shit in there.

And you're like, those, but that old, watermelon was not going to get any it wasn't going to smell any better and finally cooked chicken that I found on my driveway. Let's finally get rid of that thing. This modern feeling of it's someone else's problem now. You know?

It kind of is. Yeah. There is kind of that. Like I, for whatever reason, I don't know why I held onto the frame, but like I have the monitor that's in my pinball machine. And to get it to fit in the pinball machine, you basically have to take everything off of it.

The plastic bezel frame, the metal frame that goes around it, everything left. I didn't realize that was that big of an ordeal. That's crazy. It is a big ordeal. And those things, that thing you've got to take off carefully because any slip and you've just completely broken your monitor. And you've got to undo some metal, some wire connections that it has because that's got your little touch pads for turning things on. So it's like, nope, this thing is either on or off. If there's power to it, it's on.

If there's no power, it's off. Oh, wow. So wait, okay, so this actually helps. Maybe this will answer your question I've always had about TVs and the way they work. Yeah. With a flat panel TV like this, you take all of that bezel off, all the bits and bobs, like you said. How are those layers of whatever's left held together? Is it a single piece?

Are there layers of things? Yeah, it is like a layer of LCD. Yeah. Sitting on like what looks like a big fat printed circuit board, a PCB. Okay. So there is some hard backing. not like some loose blankety. There's hard backing. Yeah, but it does get a little bendier than you probably would want it to. Yeah, that would make me nervous making working on that. Yeah. No, that's why there's,

that's why there's kind of these wooden blocks that go across the inside of that, or not wooden block, side things that go in the sides of that pinball machine to support it. Although I guess why it doesn't bow in the middle, I don't know. Yeah. Is this and this, did you have to, like do a YouTube tutorial how do you know how to do this yeah I did a YouTube tutorial yeah I would not I would not be comfortable doing this without some oh no no and there's this is one of those mods and I'm trying to remember the guy cool toys um oh yeah has a has a channel that talks about yeah he's really good mods mods everything mm-hmm he mods his whole life man that guy mods his whole life but he does those um what are those three-quarter size video game machines the um level one

one or um no oh just the slightly uh player one player one up or one up one up that's it whatever those are one up stuff i have one of those he talks about how to mod those and and get them to do stuff and i meant to do more with mine i have one out there that plays joust defender uh rampage and i can't remember the fourth excuse me and i would love to hack that thing yeah i just never got to play everything right yeah i'll bet he's got a video i just need to go watch and figure it out yeah because the kids love it Man, Van comes over here. He thinks this is the greatest thing he's ever seen.

He doesn't even know what it is. I'm guessing Rampage is his game. Oh, 1,000% rampage. Yeah, yeah. That is like, that's a game made for kids' age. It's like, what? I can destroy buildings as a giant lizard. Sign me up.

Yeah, I'm a six. Eat pedestrians. Yeah, you want to have fun when you're six. You either need a whoopie cushion or a rampage. Those are your two interests in life. But yeah, Arcade one-ups. those are cool. I think that they have gotten a lot more expensive lately.

Oh, really? Yeah. That's why I think I just... You probably find some on Facebook marketplace, like some gently used ones that you can... Yeah, because I used to have this idea I was going to like, that would be how I would get an arcade down there. Oh, yeah, sure, sure, because it's smaller. It takes up less space. You could do an arcade in a smaller-sized room instead of having to have a Nunnalee's Wing. Yeah.

You know, with 18 pinball machines and 43 arcade machines or whatever they've got. I want a Nunnalee's wing pretty bad. I do. I want to just go live at the Nunnalee's house. If only it was in Texas. Like, you know, if it was here in Colorado, I'd actually petitioned to be adopted by the Nunalys. There are court proceedings to which you could attend. Can I initiate adoption proceedings to be adopted by a specific family?

Like, can I say, you know, adopt me? I don't know how that works. Can you, maybe? Can a kid go, like, let's say you're 16. Can you go to the court and go? Yeah, they'd like to be adopted by this specific family. Yeah, I wonder if you can do that. I mean, I know there's a way to petition to be let go by your parents.

Right. I forgot about that. Is that it? Yeah, but you're getting like, okay, Mr. Clooney, I'd like to be adopted and go live in your Italian villa. Thanks. Lake Cuomo. Sure. Summerhouse. I'm sure the judge.

rule in my favor and send me straight to Clooney's. Totally, sure, yeah. Which reminds me, I want to see that new Clooney Sandler thing. I hear it's really good. Yeah, that's on the list because that is, that's already got Golden Globes, um, nominations. So Tin are pretty sure we're going to see that for Oscars, you know. I would love to see Sandler. I think Sandler was robbed with uncut gems.

Mm-hmm. Right. And I think Punch Drunk Love and I think he's got this in him. And this sounds like one of those. yeah i think so that'd be great is yeah punch drunk love love rain over me that is such a you know when we did that special episode of film sac

where we talked about you know oh you think you know everything by this certain actor the certain director whoever I should have brought up Adam Sandler and love rain over me because that is such a an amazing um

is it just it's just rain over me the the who song that it references is love rain over Oh, it's just rain over me. Yeah. Oh. And it's got, you know, if nothing else, you've got 15 minutes of watching Adam Sandler play Shadow of the Colossus. Oh. Maybe not 15 minutes, but you've got quite a bit of time.

I love that. And Don Cheadle is in that as well. Oh, Don Cheadle. We love the John Cheadle. We do love the Don Cheadle. Yeah. Unless you're Nicole, then you love the Don Cito. And you love the Don Cito.

Get that orange dust all over your fingers. But, yeah, if you have not seen Raino or me, then, then, and that's what the other thing is that rain again the who song that it's based on or that gets its title from is love rain or me oh apostrophe er but is the movie rain over me i don't know i never saw it i remember you recommended it pretty highly and i put it on a list and there it sits i have to see it yeah i like i like sandler a lot and his and when he does roles like this and um i like his comedy's fine i guess but i just i think he's really interesting when

he's being serious so i'll watch that totally yeah you think you'll like it it's heavy it's about a guy who who lost his wife in the uh world trade center uh oh that's that movie that's that movie yeah yeah i should watch that yeah it's been enough time that you know yeah the movie is called rain over me but yes and and t rpw was it that said uh no stigmas is i think the songs in the movie too oh it's in it and it's a powerful moment when that song plays the movie. Yeah, I would assume if you're going to name your movie that you want to, they probably got the rights, you know? Yeah. Yeah, Sandler, Sandler can really, you know, can do some good serious stuff when he wants to for sure. Yeah. You know, I agree. Um, I was going to tell you something.

Okay. And I don't remember what it refers to. Have you ever done that? Yes. Okay. I wrote in the notes, reminder to hold fast. Uh-huh. And don't wander into that water. And then I put, then I put in parentheses, we'll explain. I always love that too. You do that a lot and I always wonder, what am I going to do? Like, like, answer for you, what, what this is about? Well, I mainly, I do it so that if it isn't obvious, it probably is obvious, but to make it so, so it doesn't, so it looks like I at least going to explain this weird thing and it's not just whatever it is on the face of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And so without giving it away, because I usually want to surprise you or whatever, but I cannot, I've, I've overdone that now. It was like you've you've, you've, you've obfuscated it too much to even yourself. Yeah, I cannot remember what this referred to. Let me think real quick. Don't wander into that water. Reminder to hold fast. Yeah. Shit.

Darn. I can't remember what it was. I was really excited to hear about that. You, we did push, you know, you were going to talk about a Santa thing yesterday. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll tell you that real quick. That was pretty funny.

So, I made a tiny reference to it on the Monday show yesterday, but basically I'm at the mall, doing mall things. And I was with Kim. We're having a great time. And then there's Mall Santa, and we thought, well, let's see what this Mall Santa's up to you over here. Sure. So we go over there.

And, of course, it's a line of kids and parents, like you do. You'll poke your eye out or shoot your eye out or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're not going to get your rep writer, big election pump, baby gun. And this guy's a very authentic looking Santa. which is you know what you want at a mall Santa and ironically

I wish I'd have my camera out I wish I'd have caught this on footage but this five year old kid or so looked around five maybe four or five gets hoisted up and put on the lap of Santa Claus Santa turns to him and says something to the effect of the usual like now what do you walk little boy

for Christmas and the kid turns to him and clearly I mean he's all snotty nose and red faced as it was clearly got some bug and he coughs directly point blank into Santa's face his mouth was open and everything

and just went I'd like to finally be rid of the croup yeah and it was like that sound of crunchy chest horrible all that crinkly yeah I know exactly what you're talking about it was awful and I was like damn it why don't have my phone out because he made a face

like oh that'll be the one That's going to put me down. It might be the last time you see Santa here, folks, you know? Oh. So it was pretty wild. Now, all of that talk about that, sometimes this works, where it'll shake loose the memory of what I... That's the hope is that, right, like exactly. Talking about something else might relax the straw so that the, another marble can come up or something.

And it didn't happen. Oh, darn. I thought you were going to give you some good news. No, I don't know what the hell I was talking about. I'll come around to it if I said. hits me in the show. I may blurt it out and then we're just, you know, that'll be life. Sure. Sure. Guys, it's a Tuesday. That means we got Amy coming up. That's all going to be fun. We got a book

to read all sorts of fun stuff. But before we do all of that, some news. The news is brought to you by. Daily music headlines. Find out today what Kiss is putting their name on now. It's something completely unexpected, well, partially unexpected. You know, a 650, you know, unit battle axe with Gene Simmons' face doesn't seem that unexpected, but maybe some of the things that come with it might be. So find out what those are by going to

Daily Music Headlines.com. Subscribe to the show, listen, wherever you get your podcasts, or make it your echo briefing, added to your daily briefings on your echo device. Nice. Did you see any of Gene Simmons talking to Congress by chance? Did you watch any of that? No.

Uh-uh. No. So nothing about the content of what he's said he was mostly talking about artists and spot you know spotify's unfair to artists they don't get paid enough and all that kind of stuff um his he has he had if anyone wants to know what my mom's mouth is shaped like he's a really weird thing just focus on jean simmons's mouth at his congressional testimony that's my mom's that's my mom's that's my mom's mouth that's good has actually had that written on my to do list here is find out what scott johnson's mom's uh mouth is shaped yeah and get a quick get that onto your air traffic controller thing

because we've got to get that one done. It's weird though, but yeah, Captain Kipper says that's rich. Gene's an A-hole. Yeah, he's kind of famously a bit of an A-hole. But I think that's why, so they got this stupid Kennedy thing along with. Yeah, the Kennedy honors, yeah. Slice Stallone and all that.

But I think he was already there for this other thing, which was like, it's like when they have I don't know, like when they had Mr. Rogers come talk about public television. television enter sure yeah or whatever oh that PBS thing was great yeah especially the senator's response that is something you don't hear very often the senator's response was basically you know what i you've actually changed my mind you've made me realize this is an important thing and

any senator or representative that can actually say you know what i've i am not going to double down on my previous stance and you've changed my mind thank you for that that is something something you will not hear in a year that begins with two zero no no yeah at least i don't think so uh by the way this is what he looked like there love the hair yeah the hair um it's just so bad i have kiss action figures and i think the hair is the most realistic thing on it because it is that hair like it is it feels like it's made from jean simmons actual straw coming right out of the scarecrow's chest hair. Yeah.

They're going to, science will study it one day. I have a feeling. Here he is an actual, you know, this is him in the same suit and everything. I think if you're going to talk to Congress. You take off your effing some. Yes. Yeah. Like, I can't.

Unless you're Stevie Wonder. Yeah. If you're Stevie Wonder, you're going to keep him on. Stevie Wonder, you get to keep him on. But if you're anybody else, no, no. Especially Gene Simmons. the point, dude. We get it. You think you're cool. You're in their 70s. You think you're still as cool as you were in 1975. I don't want anybody to see what my eyes look like. Those are

trademark, but they can be purchased at kiss.com. You can purchase limited edition signed autographed photographs of my eyeballs. That's right, Gene. And right now there's a special on it. I'm Paul Stanley. I love those guys. I do too. From the stereotypical angle. It's one of our Underrated impersonation duos. Yeah, we could go on tour with these. We just don't. We could, yes.

Watch for it, nerdtacular. A whole event where it's just me and Brian and bad wigs. Yep. Doing kissed up kiss members. And for Peter Chris,

we'll just get like a little dog, like a little dog with hair. Because he looks like a little tiny, it looks like a little dog. Oh, no, no, he used to say,

freely passed away. Freely passed away. No, but for Peter Chris, yeah, we could just have a little dog. It was funny. Peter Chris was also at that thing, but no one talks about it.

No, no. He's this little furry guy in the back. He looks like someone's grandpa was just hanging out. Yeah. Anyway, let's get to this first story. Yeah. It's a Vegas story. A high roller has sued Las Vegas casino after real life hangover experience.

And I'm not talking about the big, you know, Ferris wheel. That didn't sue anybody. Oh, not that high, not that hangover experience. That's a high roller. Oh, yeah, there are you. High roller suits. I see what you're saying. I was thinking, I was like, we were.

the hangover, what Ferris wheel is called the hangover, but now I get you. Hangover is what you have after you ride the bar car on the high roller. That's right. You're up there too long? Hangover time. Yeah. Michael Duke Thompson's last memory on January 23rd, 20204

was leaving the high limit blackjack room at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada at around midnight with a few thousand dollars worth of chips. I think this is Posey one. I don't know. I guess. The next memory is waking up the following morning, handcuffed to the wall.

Did you wake up while you're, see, I don't like, I don't like the way that's red. No. They didn't, he didn't suddenly go, uh, I'm awake. I'm handcuffed and on the wall. I don't think that's not worth. I think that's what he's trying to insinuate is that he doesn't remember anything until he woke up handcuffed to the wall of the, the security pen. It's a weird thing.

Yeah. I, well, and I, and I feel like this is his like, oh, I must have blacked out. I don't know what I did. I, I can't be held. responsible for for what i did yeah that's true anyways it says handcuffed to the wall of casino security holding a pen and 75 000 in debt to the house with a no no he's he's handcuffed to the security holding pen sorry i love that he's like handcuffed but there's a pen where do i sign i just woke up and where did this pen come from yeah why am i holding this pen anyway 75

thousand dollars in debt to the house with a felony fraud charge later dismissed after thompson made full restitution uh i don't know why it says yet to come okay anyway thompson a license is that weird because that's like it's an m dash but what's the with a felony fraud charge after thompson full restitution maybe he's maybe he's he's started the payment process and he got the case dismissed but the payment is yet to come i don't know that seems weird i think this article on the independent dot co dot uk might have used uh little chat gpt writing or something i feel like it has and it feels exactly all those m dashes yeah and it just feels like uh we're gonna just change tense uh back and forth you're a real hoot i feel bad

for writers who this in the in the last couple of years made a personal goal to use the m dash more often because it's a it's a under it's underused and it's great it's actually great the m dash yeah it wasn't invented by AI. We were supposed to be using it for decades. But we're slow to do it. We use commas where we shouldn't. The M-Dash is perfect for what its job is to do. And then these LLMs come along and now make

everybody gun-shy about using M-Dashes because they use them so much. Yes, totally. Totally. I love a good M-Dash, sadly. It's a bummer. I do, too. It makes things read better. It's got a purpose. It exists for a reason. It does. Exactly. Even though we don't have a key for it, you have to double space most

most riders are not double space if you option if you option hyphen you get the m dash where's the wait oh yeah yeah most of these things just let me double dash yeah and it'll change your double dash to an m dash yeah if i'm just writing or whatever it'll usually work depends on the app i guess but uh let's see here Thompson nope we already did that part oh here we go he's a licensed attorney this gambler guy says he was a longtime Arya patron with a pristine repayment record now believes he was surreptitiously drugged that night in Vegas, which explains this whole memory loss.

According to this federal lawsuit filed Thursday and obtained by the independent, the 64-year-old's app, a parent incass, in-cass-in-capit. I'm going to, I'm going to murder myself if I don't get this right. Incapacitation. Incapacitation. Incapitization. Would have been obvious to anyone,

but that no one on the aria bothered to intervene, Thompson's complaint alleges. It accuses the aria of having failed, here's the quote, failed to take any steps to ensure his safety, and instead allowed him to continue gambling and then forcibly detaining him without providing any care.

It is inequitable for ARIA to retain Thompson's funds that were procured and retained if in the circumstances as described above, says the complaint. yeah something's weird there i don't know something's really weird and here's what's cool you're in casino cameras everywhere we'll be able to see just how many drinks you ordered and you drink and see if anybody slipped anything into it it's like they say discovery's gonna be a bitch yes exactly sit back and enjoy i wonder if uh and if you know somebody did drop a rufe into his drink and you know that's what made him uh blow through 75,000

then all right you know I'll take it all back but my guess is shoot I really went on a bender last night how can I get out of it I know I'll pretend I didn't know it was happening yeah smells fishy it does it's it's us this guy's the imposter on our

ship that's what's going exactly yes Viagra for women hit shelves everybody get excited oh good after 30 years after men got their little blue pills took them long enough for more than three decades men have been able to boost their sexual performance

for their erectile disfouchad using a little blue pill called Viagra, which generates tens of billions in revenue for drug maker Pfizer. The way that's written, it sounds like the pill you take it and that it generates tens of billions of dollars. Yes, exactly. I was almost expecting it to say tens of billions

of little microbes that make your wiener go wherever it wants. Now scientists at the Women's Health Biotech Group deer bioscience or deere some French bullshit yeah we love the French we do love the French dude Patrick Beja

went to he saw my video about game facts and how they're still around and it's this ancient site since the 90s that puts like strategy guys for games it's on as I did not realize it was still around holy cow yeah it's still going they I think IGN owns it but they kind of don't touch it they let it just run

anyway Patrick finds a 1995 street fighter strategy guide that he wrote as a kid oh wow and submitted to them and it's still there

like you can go read this thing fantastic and I did I didn't even care about the strategy guy but I read the whole thing just to kind of get an idea

Patrick in the 90s and it was great yeah oh that's awesome Miss Patrick yeah I do too he's a busy boy he's got them kids you know

it's got all that French shit he does all that French stuff man yeah just got time for us Americans. No more English for that guy. Or all were the four other languages he's fluent in. That's right.

What was, um, what was the, we had a segment, a regular segment with him on the show. What was the subject of that? Or am I thinking of something else? Didn't we have them on TMS doing a regular thing? Did we? We're really, really, really, like the really, really, really came in to play on. I don't think so here on this one. Okay.

Yeah. Maybe. Maybe. I know. I just, it wasn't. It wasn't a video game thing, I don't think. I can't even remember today's top of the show notes, so I definitely don't remember. Sure.

If the Seinfeld woke up in the middle of the night, wrote something down and can't... Yeah, that's exactly what this feels like, by the way. Is that a damn episode? Yeah. Now I was trying to remember. Well, never mind. Yeah, if anyone, if I could be completely misremembering. I could be conflating the instance stuff that he did and all that.

You know, people used to complain about my ding pong. impression, which was really just an impression of my brother, Matt. Sure, sure. I have one that Patrick did once that I promised to never let anyone here because at the time we heard it. We played it on the show in the instance live or whatever. So it's on an episode. And he said never play that again?

Well, later, like years later, he went, yeah, probably never. And he's like, do you even know what that episode is? I'm like, I have no idea, dude. We'd have to go dig through 700 episodes and find it. Oh, because he wanted you to go maybe even edit it out. Yeah, maybe get rid of it because, you know, it's. It's not very sensitive. It's not very nice now.

He doesn't have a Korean brother, Matt. No, he doesn't. He doesn't have my lame excuse. Right. My lame half excuse I use all the time. It's okay. I have friends who are black. That's right.

That's my brother. He's Korean. He sounds like that. Yeah, he does sound like that. Yes. All right. So this is the deal here. Scientists at the Women's Health Biotech group that we mentioned earlier have created a $10

a use product, so per use, we'll find out what the use is in a minute. For adult women. I think we know what the use is. Well, I mean, is it like a pill you swallow? Is it a patch you wear? It looks like it's a cream, but we'll get to that. Okay. So scientists say the women's health,

adult women that works in just 10 minutes. That's great. They could call it, instead of, we got the blue chew for men, we got the blue goo for women. It should be pink, by the way. I agree. Let's lady it up. Yeah, yeah. I hope it's not blue, looking like a smurf down there.

Yeah, I don't like that. Let's see. Let's see. The first of its kind cream called Dare to Play. Oh, hello. Increases blood flow to the, the gina. And improves sexual arousal, a sensation that 20 million women struggle with, according to the Southern California company.

The product uses sidelphanil, and I'm not sure that is. Sildenophil. I think that's right. which is the same active ingredient in Viagra that increases blood flow to the penis and results in erection anyway

I'm just visualizing you have it to give the birds and the bees talk to your kids so when a man and woman love each other very much the man sticks his penis in the vagina in the vagina I mean, it probably went like that a little. I probably did.

Yeah, you had to do it three times, too. I always, I found, here's some advice for fathers out there. I found that it was, how do I put this? Like the whole, look it up on YouTube. Like the no, no touching butts are making out thing on their way out to a day was, it always just lighten the mood. Desensitization, right, basically, exactly. Just chilled everybody out and made it less, made it less. in some ways it makes it more awkward

by making it less awkward right you're basically getting the you're kind of pulling the pin on the awkwardness grenade very early yeah but also like oh but he probably did mean

you know no no hanky pinky yeah but but it's delivered in such a funny way it's like the sugar around the pill there you go some medicine go down there you go which is not like not unlike this cream

I feel a little bad I think dudes being able to just pop a pill and then saying to the ladies nah you need to grease up with this it's just a little I don't love that I don't know I think I think if you told guys that

Viagra could be a cream you apply they'd probably be a bunch of guys he'd be like all right is it you need some testers for that because right exactly yeah I'm not doing nothing this weekend

how much do I have to run this cream in sorry kids sorry Logan he'd be like the owl and the the Tootsie Pop commercial. One, two, three. Done. All done.

Well done, Greece. All right. There's your news for today. I'm glad we had to follow this. Yeah. Come on in after that. Speaking of which, we are going to do that right now. We're going to bring Amy in.

We're going to have some fun. And we're going to do this right here. One of the things that I enjoy also is reading. Do, do, did, did, do, do, do. Whoops. I called her and then hung up on her. Hold on. Get a deaf and. There we go.

Okay, Scott, get it together. Where the hell's my thing? Hey, everybody. Guess what? All the buttons have gotten moved today, apparently. All the buttons have been moved. We welcome to the program now, Amy Robinson, who is sitting very patiently waiting for us to figure our shit out. Hi, Amy.

How are you? Oh, good morning, friends. You're fine. Don't worry. Your microphone sounds great today. It does sound good. Awesome. Yeah. Not that it's crappy usually, but it's really good right now.

It's so clear I feel like I'm listening to a Sony entertainment podcast featuring the voice of one A.B. Robinson. We finally finished it over the weekend, by the way. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think? So that was actually on my list to bring up today. Oh, good. So, yeah, I wanted to, I want to hear like what you guys thought and, and I have not heard it yet. I've been up to my ass and things and I haven't had a chance, but sounds like Brian did. Brian, what did you think of it? I did.

I, we found it compelling and heartbreaking as hell and redeeming at times. And let's just say, I hope that somebody in prison has been turned to somebody else's bitch, and they're safe word is, God damn it, God damn it. This is my hope. Oh, wow. That's great. I love that. Yes, I love that.

That is an excellent, excellent thought. I shall ruminate on that. So for people who don't remember, remind them what we're talking about. Yes. For people who don't remember what we're talking about, we are discussing the podcast. It's called Watching You. Actually, the full podcast is called The Binge. And this particular season of it is called Watching You.

And that is about, it's basically a six-episode deep dive into the murder of my sister, Nikki Liley. And it is really excellent. It is. They really did a good job with it. They did. I did a lot of press around that whole event and both when it happened and when the trial happened and all of that. And literally no press outlet got the story right. They all sort of sensationalized it.

You can even hear a clip of a couple of. yeah they don't name it but I will that's fucking oh that's Dr. Drew I'm sorry Scott that was Dr. Drew really that is the Dr. Drew that is the Dr. Drew that is the Dr. Drew show I apologize for my no no no you are allowed listen the kind of the kind of stuff that happened to you and your family you're allowed to come on here and F bomb the new time you want all right yeah you burn it let it rip but yeah so that was that was absolutely the most egregious version of a victim blaming that any of the of the outlets did and it was hideous and i have a little bit of a headcan and about why that is but that will take too long to talk about here um i did want to mention real quick if anyone is interested um i will be perfectly willing to like you know i'll set up a live stream and i'll do like some office hours and do like an AMA if anybody has more questions that they want to ask me or whatever. Because like I said,

I don't, I talk about this freely. I, you know, I've been, I've been in therapy for like 14 years. So I'm, I'm okay. I'm fine to talk about it. But I don't talk about it all the time because I don't want to make it my whole personality. Like nobody wants to talk about somebody's murdered sister all the time. Right. So, so if anyone's interested, then yeah, like, let me know. And I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll set up a live stream and do some office hours. And we'll go through some of that. Yeah, you've been great just getting me like photos of all the people involved that, you know, it's like, oh, okay, that's, you know, that's what Nikki looked like.

And here's what Alex looks like and being able to put faces to all the voices you hear on there. So, I mean, you know, again, with the office hours, make sure that's part of it is people seeing what you'll look like. That's a good call out. Yeah. And I, when Brian says I did a great job, Brian asked me for a couple of pictures. and I went down a rabbit hole of finding like a huge bunch of pictures. I was like, oh, and by the way,

here's our glamour shot that she and I did because you guys mentioned like glamour shots on the show. Can you, I mean, I have to mention this because I saw that one in the Discord. That glamour shot is exactly what we described. Oh, it's spectacular. Yes. The only thing it doesn't have is the...

It's in our Discord chat right now, Scott, if you want to bring it up and put it on the screen. Yeah, it's in our, you know, with the three of us, the Discord chat. It's sideways, so I apologize for that. Make it, can you bump it for me? I can't see it. Yeah, I can.

Yeah, that'll bring it to the top and then I can pull it up. And also, I like the host of the show, but boy, does he do, he almost does a better Ira Glass impersonation than I do. Oh, wow. Yeah. Jonathan, he's really, he's just, he's really great. And, you know, I, he's, he's a very genuine kind. person and that comes through in his reporting.

And, yeah, he's, I, I knew anybody who he wanted to get involved in, in doing the podcast, there it is. There's the glamour shot. Yeah. Sorry for the weird lighting. That was, that was just, I took a picture of the picture. There was a, a fluorescent bulb that it just burned out in the, Claire's across the mall from the Glamour Shots place.

So the Olin, so this is Olin Mills, obviously a competitor, or, you know, was one of the other things, but they were more than happy to do the glamorous shot shit. Oh, they totally did the glamour shot stuff. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, for sure. And they were hardcore. Do you remember them if you wanted negatives or something? They would, they would almost take you to court to get you not give you the negatives. Bastard. No, you can't, you can't reproduce any of those ever. Olin Mills. Yeah, they're very, like, very litigious, very. Who's this Olin guy? Why is he so freaking tight? with his negatives. Right. Bastered. Anyway. Oh, my goodness. So I did a fun thing the other night. I just wanted to show this real quick.

I did, I went to a little workshop where we learned how to do paper clay sculpting. And I mean, I have, which I have done before, just full disclosure. But I was like, oh, a paper clay workshop, you say, yes, I will. And so we made little puppet heads out of paper clay. That's cute. I like him. That's so fun. He looks very concerned.

He's super concerned. Yes. Yeah. Well, you know, so the release of this podcast and everything, you know, it's sort of bubbled up some things to the surface. And in fact, they uncovered some things that I didn't know. Oh, wow. I was going to ask you about that. So, yeah, that was a thing. Without spoilers, I'll say, Brian, I did not know about the contract thing. Oh, my God. Yes. Right. So horrifying. right? Like, I did not know about that. Oh, my God. And, you know, so, yeah, we just, our jaws dropped to the floor. We were driving. We had to drive down to micro center over the weekend, which is a 45 minute each way. Things were like,

great, we can finally finish up the binge. And we got to that. We're like, I think we even paused and said, my God, what an asshole. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. For sure. And yeah. So I've been working through a lot of that just because like I say you know a lot of that grief just bubbles back up and so this was like a you know I'm a big believer in the saying take your broken heart and turn it into art so so that's this guy you know he intentionally he intentionally looks sad and because I was feeling sad so that's that's that's that's that but yeah highly recommend if anybody's interested in like you know playing with clay or whatever doesn't want a big commitment or a thing you have to like fire paper clay is the way to go because it's like air dry and it's

very lightweight and it's really fun now before we get to your your recommendation this week i have a quick question for you there's this new brand new fragil rock christmas thing oh yeah are you have you seen it first of all is it out i don't know what's going on with it i have not seen it i know of it and i have not yet seen it okay i'm excited to see it okay i really i'm looking forward to your review you're clearly every single time i turn on my apple Apple TV. Yeah. Oh, yeah, it is Apple TV doing it.

Oh, you know a, you know a person with Fraggle in their name. Yeah, yeah. I know you're a massive fan. You're not just puppetry and not just hens and stuff, but like fraggle, the Fraggle rock thing in general. So I, we look forward to your review of this thing. Oh, absolutely. We'll do that. And I have not forgotten about the alien thing. I just, like, with everything going on, I have not had an opportunity to because I have a rule.

I'm like, I'm not going to watch any. scary movies after dark and so yeah you're going through all the alien I'm going through the alien movies because I've never seen them I've I've now seen alien the first one and I sort of reviewed it I want to get back to doing that on you know on my segment on a monthly basis I haven't forgotten about that folks I just haven't had a chance to so we'll we'll pick that back up yeah I can't wait to hear more can you also tell Chuck to calm down in the background there I keep hearing him Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. That is my silly dog. I don't know what they are even barking at. I know what they're barking at. Life. That's what Chihuahuas do, man.

They saw a shadow, I think, is the problem. Yeah. I mean, they will bark. There's probably one of my neighbors is out barking, walking their dog and they're barking at that. But, yeah, so apologies for that. It makes it feel like we're, you know, we're all just here hanging. Life. Life happens. Exactly. I want a real quick shout out to, and this is, this will dovetail into my book, I promise. But shout out to whoever my Tadpool Secret Santa is. You're a freaking genius. The Princess Posse. The best. Oh, okay. Explain this for audio only people. What are you wearing? Yes, for the audio only people, I am wearing a t-shirt that this was the gift from my Tadpool Secret Santa, and it says the princess posse. And it's got a picture of Princess Donut on it.

And then it says official fan club member, Earth Division. And at the bottom, it says, death to all Cocker Spaniels. Oh, my gosh. They know you real well, man. That's awesome. Like, I wonder. This is, like, my favorite one. Because, like, I have, I have been searching for, like, a Princess Donut t-shirt.

And just none of them really, you know how sometimes you go looking around and you're like, none of them really hit, right? None of them are really what the character looks like in your head. And this, when I opened this, I was like, holy crap they nailed it this is amazing like see how the tv show does shout out to my my sadpool secret santa because you you nailed it way to go like i i i squeed when i okay we all need a good squeeing you know we do need a good squeing every once in a while just once in a while just a quick squee uh all right let's get to your book what do you got to lined up for us i got a clip here i will

say that uh you know the fact that i'm part of the princess posse goes into uh this book and and it doesn't need any more introduction than that so you can just play the clip here we go everything was a little worse for the where but good things would happen in these buildings lives would be led businesses would prosper and men would attend meetings hopeful meetings meetings where big plans were made and ideas were proposed but if all the meetings that had ever been held in that particular office none of them could compare in world impact with the casting calls for the Star Wars movie. I've told the story of getting cast as Princess Leia many times before, in interviews on horseback and in cardiac units.

So if you've previously heard this story before, I apologize for requiring some of your coveted store of patients. I know how closely most of us tend to hold on to whatever cash of patients we've managed, to a mass over a lifetime, and I appreciate your squandering some of your cherished stash here. I love Carrie Fisher. I do too. Right, right, exactly. So this is called the Princess Dyerist, and this was released about a little over a month before she passed.

And so, yeah, and I somehow had, I missed it. I didn't know that, you know, there was a little bit of a month. an audio book for it where she actually narrated until recently. And I said, oh, well, that's perfect. I have to have that. And it's everything you want it to be. You know, it is irreverent. It's funny. It's, yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, is it just, is it mainly focus on the Star Wars stuff? Or is this like a life? Yes. It mainly focuses on Star Wars, like that from, you know, from her auditioning all the way up, you know, through, through filming and stuff.

So. I'm curious about that. Does she discuss her altering accent during the first in the middle? Yes, her mid-Atlantic, yes, I smelled. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board. Yes. She's always, she's talked about that a number of times and how much she hates those lives. She's like, nobody talks like that, you know.

I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board. I always assumed it was like, uh, direction, right? Like someone said to talk like that, but I think after watching Andor, I, I have been able to reconcile that for myself because, you know, she's, she's in the rebellion and thus, and if you watch, if you've seen Andor and you know all the subterfuge and, you know, all the political espionage and stuff that has to go on, you know, that accent was very much part of the empire. And so for her to pass as a member of the Imperial Senate, you know, she would affect that accent. Yeah. Being around Peter Cushing probably has a way of making you talk like

Peter Cushing. You know what I mean? Yes, exactly. And I'm guilty of that. Like, whenever I travel places, I just like soak up a bad version of the accent, you know, little pieces of the accent. Drives my family crazy because all these Southerners come into town, Kim's side of the family and I start to talk like them. You just sort of adopted from immersion. Yeah. It's really weird. I hear myself doing it and I kind of can't not do it.

It's odd. Sometime I will, I'll, I'll call, I'll call Mama Fraggle before my segment sometime and, and let you guys hear what I sound like right after I've talked to her. Excellent. I want to hear your, I want to hear your mom's accent. Oh, my mom for sure. My mom was born in Louisiana. And so like my mom.

And she lived most of her life in Georgia, but she's, you know, she was born in Louisiana. So she very much has, like, she leans in to her southern accent a lot. Yeah. So, yeah. I always think of that. I always apply that to people from Georgia for some reason that they affect it more. Affects, not affect. So it's like, you know what I'm saying?

Like, it's like that whole, that whole like Savannah, peach farm thing, whatever that is. I always had, that stereotype always comes up in my head for some reason. That's because of the plantations and things like that. I mean, Savannah and, you know, Savannah as a city, it leans into that a lot as well. And so, yeah, I mean, we come by it on us. But, I mean, most people from here, like, we don't have to put it on. It's just there. And, you know, it's not present right now because I'm talking to you guys.

But, yeah, if I talk to my family for any, like, you know, five minutes is all I need. and I'll be right there. And the, yep, yep, I-Corps says, bless your heart. Bless your heart. Yes, exactly. My mother or my father-in-law, Daniel, calls us in the car yesterday. And prior to that, I was talking normal. But when he calls, he goes, yeah, your mom's got the flu way.

They told her she's not going to be, she doesn't take this medicine. He starts talking in his drawl. And by the end of it, and I'm like, he hangs up and Kim's like, all right, we want to grab food before we go meet up with whatever. And I'm like, well, how about we just check out that? And I realize I'm doing it again. And she's like, why are you doing that? I'm like, I don't freaking know. She doesn't even have her accent anymore.

She only hasn't when she's mad. So, you know. Yeah. It's a, it's a thing. I mean, I, because I, like I say, I am guilty of it and I don't, it's not like I try to do that. It just, it just happens. And that's a, that's a normal thing. I think, I think I had researched that at one point.

There's a, there's a specific thing that that means about people's brains who, who tend to do that. more um i can't i think it's it's more it has to do with like uh you know you're maybe listening and like there's there's more of an empathic sense there for people who do that but i can't i can't remember so i'm i'm not going to mangle it but i'll look it up sounds like some some windy business we could talk about sometimes yeah right yeah and i i submitted a question for wendy and it's like i really need an answer to it when did you send it when did you put it in um Just like last week, I think, but basically, and I'll, I'll tease it for anybody. So that way, that way, Scott will have to use it.

Yeah, of course. I'll force the hand. Sure. I really want to know is, you know how she always says, like, synapses that wire together, fire together. Yeah. And, you know, so your brain can create associations between completely unrelated things just by proximity or whatever.

I want to know if there's a way to erase that and, like, undo it. And the reason is because when the, when the first Zootopia movie came out and my kids were still old enough they wanted to, or they were still young enough that they wanted to go see, you know, all the, all the fun animated movies in the theater. So I took them to see the Zootopia movie. Earlier that day, I had just, you know how sometimes if you look something up on urban dictionary and then and then you let it show you other stuff you wish you hadn't sure yeah because there's some really disgusting stuff oh it's gnarly in there you can't go if you go past the first definition you are yeah on your own man bad bad idea good luck happy sales

like real you're need therapy when you're done uh-huh yeah so that's exactly it I found I I wish I had never seen this definition of a thing I'm not even going to say say the word or anything, but it was, you know, it was just one of the most repulsive things I could ever imagine. And it was the same day I went to see Zootopia. So now, in my brain, those two things. Yeah. That really disgusting concept that I read on Urban Dictionary and Zootopia are completely linked. And so thus I hate that movie now because of it. And it's a perfectly lovely U-B, and I don't want to hate it. So I want to know if there's a way for me to undo that.

There's a sequel coming. You want to be ready and happy for that. That's what made me think about it. It was this, you know, there's posters for it everywhere and stuff. And I'm like, I know I want that out of my brain. Yeah. Damn, dude. But anyway, all that is a complete and total tangent.

But the book this week is the Princess Dyerist. So that we really didn't talk about it all. But it's, I mean, it's, like I say, it doesn't really need any introduction. It's exactly what you want it to be. It's, it's Carrie Fisher being Carrie Fisher. And it sounds like definitely the way to enjoy this one is audiobook, with her reading her own words for sure. Yeah. Absolutely.

Absolutely. That's half the charm is her later years sort of vibe and attitude is addicting. Oh, my gosh. I love it so much. She absolutely had no Fs to give at all. all about anything and you know just didn't care what anybody thought and I I just yeah I just loved it and I'm sad that she's gone but I'm glad that she left us such such lovely pros yeah about herself that we can we can enjoy yeah and I don't blame her for that weird scene

in that movie where she's floating in space I don't blame her I'm gonna say I gotta say also like Like, I understand why, you know, some people don't like the sequel trilogy. I get it. But I personally, I disagree. I love them. And the reason why is because that's the last thing we got with Carrie Fisher. Yeah, that's true. And I love it.

And, you know. Just up to the second, right? Didn't she pass between the second and third or do I have that wrong? I think that's right. Yep. Yeah. And so they did a little bit of special CGI work and using previous, uh, they had some stuff that was on the cutting room floor that they incorporated into which is okay because that third movie is really my biggest problem the other two are fine i don't mind them i don't they're not my favorite but they're fine but that third one that's some hot garbage that's a bad movie i'm just gonna put that i mean i again i understand i i understand everybody's problem with it and i you know i myself i'm like really like you guys couldn't just come up with another villain we had another villain that is the big yeah

that's really that's my big complaint with there are other things about the third movie that I do like but that is my biggest complaint yeah like like we had to literally like do the same thing again with the same guy like it's silly you know like so I I agree all of those all of those criticisms totally agree um but I still like them yeah I still like watch and I do not decry anyone's love for those I think they're misguided and weird but that's That's just me. Not you, being in the movies,

not you. No, yeah. I'm fine. I don't mind if you could say, think that I'm misguided and weird. I also like Ghostbusters, too. I don't think you're misguided and weird.

Unless you like Ghostbusters 2, now we got a problem. That movie sucks so bad. Come on. It's worth it for Peter McNickle. Peter McNichol is such a gentleman. He's great. He's great.

He's great and wasted in an otherwise poorly written, terrible film. It's so like in the shadow of the first movie. I don't know. how anyone likes that movie, but everybody's allowed to like garbage as much as they are to like good things. Yep.

Yeah. And a lot of people disagree with me. Travis is with you, by the way. He's always giving me, he can see him in the trap, chat, repeating the word wrong over and over. I go through this every time I bring it up. It's going to have its fans,

but I just, oh, I can't watch that one. It's hard. I mean, you like what you like and not everything's for everybody. That's right. That's okay. Yeah. Look, do I think watching Fury Road 19 times is a good thing?

Yes. Would I recommend that to everybody? No. I would not. So we're all, you know, we all got our own thing. All right. Well, this is awesome. We've got a link now. I put it in our Discord three-way chat there. We're having a little three-way in Discord right now, everybody. Oh, my. So thanks for Hooty for that. And it will be up and available there.

Give us the title one more time. The title is The Princess Dyerist, and it's by Carrie Fisher. and I'll go ahead and plug my my thing again also and that is um the binge watching you is the name of the show with my sister in it it's a podcast and get it anywhere so uh go out and and ab that thing amy anywhere except like stitcher and pod bean and mpr one those are like those were like the only ones that it didn't they didn't carry but i mean stitcher sucks anyways so yeah i can't believe they're still around i thought stitcher paved or maybe they got bought out or something but they're terrible terrible they used to sell ads on your content without

telling you they would reduce it down to the worst possible bit rate you've ever heard and they would they weren't using your rsss feed so you got none of the traffic data f those bastards yeah i still have the worst craw on my hook or however you say the phrase stuck in your craws something stuck in your craw? Yeah. I got a craw stuck in my hook over this. Anyway, Amy, it's always good talking to you. I hope you have a fantastic Christmas. And

you too. We'll see you in the new year. Bye now. Bye. Nice stuff there. Very cool. All right, everybody. This brings us to the late stage of the show. That's right. I'd like to read this email real quick of this text we got from a guy named Condoner 8.

Condoner 8. Kind of cool name, sort of. Yeah. It says, what even do you guys want for Christmas at this stage of your life question mark it's a really good question i kind of don't want anything i'm good yeah the only thing i want is space so so you know if someone wants if if my family friends want to get me uh something that takes 11 of the things that i currently have and combines them into one thing to just give me more space in life and let me get rid of of crap then uh then that's what i want try that and transmogrify all my crap sounds like a dream dude it does doesn't it exactly like give me you know give me i don't know i'm trying to think of a good

example i think katomari damasi just roll through here just one big roll take everything with you i don't even want to see it send it to space it's fine give it to the weird prints on the sky uh i'm good with that said it's actually kind of a funny tie-in um while amy was was on um i received a package from side deal and it's a it's what's called an instant regret kit oh and if we have a minute yeah i'll do an unboxing because this is this is just basically a mystery box you remember um you know who it has the bag of crap yeah this is the side deal dot com right that's who this isidele dot com and every once and while they have they sell what's called the instant regret kit so i have no idea what's in here i know that it cost me 35 dollars and there might not be 35 dollars worth of stuff in here so

gonna open this up you can see still seal this is a the first ever unboxing no maybe not i think we've probably done unboxing on tms before yeah never from these guys though first time no never from side deal um but i thought all right this might be some good content some good exclusive content that you can only get here on tms i like your new orleans shirt by the way oh thank you yeah my wife's from that area she loves it there okay here we go all right um you know that's the bubble i reuse that by the way I reuse it for other things. Okay. Oh, a lot of stuff in here. All right. First off, they always give you a bag. It's always a green bag. The instant regret bag. In this case, green for Christmas, but I've got brown ones and. Those are useful. Yeah, that's really good

because it's a big, it's a big heavy bag. We're trying to, we're trying to do something like that at Nerdtacular, like a good canvas bag like that. Trying to. All right, a couple braided charging cables, 15 times stronger, but it's USB A to micro USB. Micro! Yeah, we need so many of those. Oh, old school, baby. I mean, I just have two, I think I have two devices in my life that need microcharging, but I freaking hate them.

So bad. I know. So, you know, that's great. Sweet. Congratulations. There's even a little, like, you can look inside. Oh, that's what my cable looks like. It's fancy.

All right. If you were wondering what these. cables look like we got a little sneaky window for you speaking of cable how about a cable knit slouchy beanie in slate blue I like I like beanies a lot well I'd wear

a beanie you're letting look I got two so maybe you may be matching one for Scott Johnson we'll see yep we'll walk around in June with those on our heads it'll be great all right a filter of some sort this is a square filter

what's at four I don't know Boy, the instant regret is settling in. It is like an instant regret. This is exactly why they call it this. Did you say how much a box of this cost? What's the... 35 bucks.

Okay, all right, all right. Yeah. All right, chill, peel, and stick. Okay, this is kind of cool. Pancakes. Pain cakes. You put these in the freezer and they have an adhesive, like a reusable body adhesive on it so you can actually reattachet.

This I like. This I'll put on my back. That's usable, yeah. Yeah. I like it. Screen shine, some... a nice fiber

like the lint-free cloth and some spray for your monitor's displays yeah it's cool and a pair

of Laura Ashley memory foam slippers in size small aw that was a Tina fit Tina at all no

too small for Tina as well but my niece will love this I'm going to send this out to my niece in Houston and Gifts some of those stuff, yeah.

This will be, yes, she'll get a couple of slippers and a filter and a beanie. She put out of family email, say, anybody need any micro USB chargers? Yeah, micro USB charger cable. Yeah. So there you go. That's awesome. Not bad. I feel like it's barely 35.

I mean, the slippers, the slippers are the crowning deal in this thing. And the way this, I assume the way this business model works is they just throw shit into a box and say, here are our box. They're just grab bag boxes. Totally. Okay. So you know, so you could have gotten. like, I don't know, I'm looking at their website. You could have gotten these undies.

I could have gotten undies, exactly. I do this every once in a while. I don't do every single time they offer an instant regret kit. But two years ago, I did one, and a giant box arrived on my doorstep with an exercise bike in it. Whoa. And it wasn't as good as the exercise bike that I currently have. But it was, you know, it was a good one with the digital readout. It was like a single wheel.

I guess they all have single wheels unless two wheels makes it a bike. but um i sold that thing on facebook marketplace for 125 bucks and uh you know brand new that was an investment he made money on it exactly so i feel like i've i've maybe gotten some of my crap money back some of these some these prices aren't really bad they're kind of no they're not bad yeah i'm sort of impressed a side deal is the shipping because what they like they want you to become a member and pay 899 a month yeah um And then you get free shipping or you pay like $14 to have something shipped with the Instraigret kit. Oh, that's cool.

Dr. Calhoun says, I did one a couple months and got a bidet, some expired vegan gummies, four knee braces, and some Christmas topper thing. Expired gummies? Expired vegan gummies. Don't eat those, man. I'm just going to give you the shits or something probably. Yeah, I don't like that at all, Dr. Calhoun. Use your PhD for good and don't eat that. don't eat the expired vegan gummies.

You're a smart guy. Well, thank you for that condoner. We got what we wanted, which is Brian opening a box. That's all I want. It was a great time to talk about, yeah. What I want is less shit as Brian opens a box with more shit. With more shit in it. Yeah, I'm in the same boat.

I think there's something about kind of the stage of life we're at where we're just like, there's nothing you can give me where I'm going to go, oh, no way. I didn't even know I wanted it. It's not going to work that way anymore. No, I want a bag of holding And just put everything in there And put the bag away Yes, or one of those

Perry Potter tents where it's like All huge inside Or the TARDIS kind of idea Let's do that Yes, exactly You know what? Give me a Tartis I can set up in here That would look cool

Plus it would hold everything Right, you want a real Tartis That's bigger on the inside That's what you're saying That's what I want Or a Tartis It'd be funny if it was the reverse It was a Tartis that if you went inside it

It's too small But the rest of your house is large right it's more cramped on the inside than it looks like yeah that's great perfect uh hacker bob wrote in and also says this hey tms show i love you daily other than the times you're not on i hate those days anyway do you guys have a travel do you guys have to travel i think you meant half oh that's right do you guys have to travel for christmas at all at all other other than back up and down the valley for my mom and my sister when she gets here and all this other stuff no like out of state no how about you and you have to doing anything. Yeah, same, same here. This year we're not going to Vermont or anything, so sting put and, uh, sounds nice. Um, yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Actually, one of the things, in addition to playing video games, um, I've figured out a relay out of the, the maker room with all the 3D printers and the paint and like the minis and stuff. Like, oh, this would actually be a better use of that space and the tables that are in there. So, how do you do that? You sketch something

out and like try to get the dimensions ride or? I will. I will, but I haven't yet, but I will actually. be doing some sketching to figure out a rearrangement but basically it's like oh these two things actually make sense to keep together why do I have them on opposite sides of the room when I'm doing mini painting and why is and this thing needs to be on a table by itself because it shakes everything else around it when it's going yeah obviously the 3D printer but sure that's great though I'm glad you have an idea in mind I have this every day I walk in here and I go I could do that and then I go oh or I won't you know what I mean sure get too much other stuff to do. I have this giant list and none of it includes me having a day where I can just clean stuff.

Although, I think I'm going to make that a priority next week when we're off because without TMS and some days I have no shows at all, I'll be, I'll have that kind of window, right? Where nothing's pressing. Oh, man, I can't disconnect this thing because I need to do a show later. Yeah, yeah. I can just kind of go for it. And I ended up, my accountant per usual, contacts me around this time of year. And he says, I hope you bought all your office things you're going to need because you haven't spent enough this year on on upgrades. It's going to ding you on your taxes.

I hate doing that, by the way. Yeah, I do too. I hate it because I'd rather save it. But he's like, no, do it. So I got a couple things I need to configure and swap out and move in. And that'll give me a chance to do that. So you know what? That's what I want for Christmas.

I would be ever so grateful.

The world could use another ska wave and rockabilly wave. As someone describes ska, it's what a 13-year-old boy hears when he gets mozzarella sticks. Perfect. Wow. I love it. That's great. Much obliged, I'm sure, before Tank Girl of the Southern Tank Girl's Esquire the third, please play five of your most bespoke Dunaway clips.

Oh, my gosh. Five of these? That's a big request. All right. It's a big ask. We're going to do it. It's not always as simple as it sounds. Let's see.

We'll go Dunaway and we'll play. I'll try to not do long ones because nobody asked for that. Okay. So I'm just going to grab these at random. I'm doing this for Trisha. She's amazing. Yeah, because she's worth it. Yes. Yeah, we love her.

That's safe in the garage or singing in the top till Hodgy went too far and he glugged your neck of the front. When the clock was Christmas Eve when Trevor and the skins popped in for a pint-headed nick-up and a crisp. Trevor liked the music, but not the unity he had well.

He took it and he knocked him to his knees If God came down on Christmas Day And know exactly what he said He said Hard to the punks And art to the skins Orr to the world And everybody wins

Hutching was a bloody mess He ran out through the crowd He said we'll meet again We are bloody yet and bowed Traveled his club And told him where to meet Christmas Day On the roof down the 20 hours was true If God came down on Christmas Day

I know exactly what he said He said Ar to the punks! Ar to the skins! Forward to the world and everybody wins. On the roof with the nun-tucks Trevor broke a lot of bones, but Haji had a sword like the guy in Indiana Jones. Police silence weighed, bloody dying man.

Haji was alone and abandoned by his bed. Trevor was defending and it's still so full of hate when the skin's left and Barrow went down the fire was fired And Harvey stole the north of shouting more than ever Though he made it turn again from his turban Saving Trevor When we ground down the roof with the rest of the turban And went back to the pub where they fought until the bourbon

The car came down on Christmas Day I know exactly what he said He said Four to the Pumps Or to the Skins Or to the world that everybody was A car came down on Christmas Day I know exactly what he said

He said This one. Always in the scenes. Forward to the world and there's everybody. Oh, oh! This show is part of the Frog Pants Network. Yes. Get more at frogpans.com.

Looks like some type of energetic vapor.
