You like to shit. We like to shit. This is shitting. Heads will roll, gentlemen. The morning stream, I must break you. Hello, everybody, and welcome to TMS.

It is the morning stream for Tuesday, January 6th. Never forget, 2026. There it is. Don't forget it. Yeah, 6-6. There's only 2 6s. Learn it. What's the phrase in Fast Times of Richmond High when Judge Reinhold is, uh,

pointing to the no shirt, no shoes, no dice sign. Oh, yeah. And he says, learn it. Yeah. Oh, man. I kept thinking about how, I don't know if you ever think about this. I think about this too much, probably. But I think about how when we're born and as we grow up, if you jump way ahead in life,

we're really not the same organism we used to be. And I mean that kind of literally, like the cells have died and reborn and died many times over. So really, we're not who we were, right? And never has that been more illustrated for me than the character of Steve Lockjaw in the film, one battle after another, compared to his Spacoli character

from all the way back in the day. They're just not... They're not even the same physical entity that they used to be. No, no, it's impossible to think of them being the same person, like, whack in his head with a van's shoe and saying, I'm so wasted.

Yeah. And then just like that, and that weird walk he does, I'm convinced. I've seen him on a couple of, like, red carpet things. I'm convinced he's just walking that way now. I don't know if it's from the movie or before it or if he just has a little bit of, I don't know, he's got a little bit of the shakes or something. It's like that, that wogging that was popular for a while, the walk jogging. It's like, oh, yeah. Like, who's the WWE guy the way he walks out on stage? he's uh who who oh mcmahon i'm not gonna be able to tell you yeah you ever seen the mcmahon walk oh man i think i have let me just find it you're talking to a guy who who basically turned wwee off as soon as whatever saturday morning cartoon was over that i was watching you're i'm saying i didn't i was not a wrestler guy growing up but this thing right here let's look at the power walk move okay because this

is worth seeing it i think sure here you go oh i wonder if i can find yeah that right there It's a little steep lock job. He walks like he's perpetually going down to hill. Like, it's a really steep hill he's going, he's walking down. He's just trying to keep up with himself. Yeah. I'm going to see how quickly I can find this, but I had a guy in my car yesterday that I was trying to make a mental note. Oh, I have to isolate that audio out because it's so freaking good.

Let's see if I'm pretty sure I, I remember the time that I record. recorded it. Oh, you got a little time stamp. A little timestampy thing. We'll see if this is it. But he was talking to his buddy on the phone. And let's see if I can capture his laugh. Because his laugh was the thing that was like, I need to save this for Scott. Can't wait to hear it. I love this stuff.

All right. Let's see if I went far enough back. Okay. I'll turn this down on my. Okay, hold on, let's see. What music you're playing in the car? Lewis the Child, like an Apple Music, start with Lewis the Child, and then just do other, other EDM tracks. Oh, right. Kind of more mellow, chill, EDM tracks.

You just checked coats for that guy the other day. I did. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm just calling to make sure you're alive. Stop. That's not real, is it? I mean, that's the noise he made. I don't know if it was a real laugh, but it was that.

That's brutal. You've got to send that. We got to cap that out. I'll cap it out. I'll see if I cap it out and isolate it out. Oh, yeah. Mac addicts, right. It's very Jimmy Carr.

That guy has that laugh. Yes, right. But Jimmy Cars is more, ah, ha, like levels like a, Ricky Ricardo. I find that guy impossible to listen to.

I don't. I do too. It distracts me from his comedy. Like, I watched one of his, I like him as the host of the UK game chat shows. Yeah. But I,

I tried watching his stand-up special, and I was just too distracted by him laughing in himself. Yeah, you laugh at yourself too much. It's no good. And I also just think there's something about British comedy and British talk shows in general. We've talked about this, I think, before. The laughter in the audience isn't the same as what I'm used to.

It's got this weird, like, on, off, off. Yeah. It's like binary language. It really is. It's like, ha, ha, ha, ha. Like that. Exactly. Like, they really flip on the switch and flip off the switch. Or maybe there's somebody like controlling the audio and saying,

all right, they're laughing, turn it up, now turn it down, get back to the show. Maybe, and there's some, maybe some tradition of how they do it at the BBC or something,

but it drives me up a tree. I can barely, barely stand it. I do like the UK overall, though, Dr. Calhoun. Okay. I do like them.

And most of their, what's funny is they're, their comedy comedies like TV, you know, sitcoms, they don't feature this in the same way. No, no,

it's those chat game shows. And I will, you know, I, we've got one of those here that's doing really well. Randy recommendal did a while back and I love it. It's, um, uh, what's it called? It's the one on HB, it's like an HBO CNN deal. And it's got Amber Ruffin, who is a gem, um, Amber Ruffin. Amber Ruffin, uh, and, uh, the dude from Michael Ian Black. And it's called, have I got news for you?

oh i do like amber ruffin there she is i like her she's great yeah and this in this show have i got news for you if you have if you're not watching it it is kind of the best skewering of the news and it's and it is 100% modeled after the uk style chat shows right the chat game show not really game shows but it's you know game show is like um nine out of 10 cats and and um uh i can't think of the other ones but um who's the famous one that interviews everybody over there um oh like that vibe i can't think of his name he does everybody yeah stephen fry oh no not fry not stephen uh kind of gordon's oh shit i don't remember there's a guy that sits there has everyone on everybody he has his right he has his talk show graham norton yeah yeah yeah yeah that show there's

a certain vibe to that is it like that like sort of no it's more like panel that's the word panel is the it's a panel show like you've got several people sitting at a panel it's presented sort of like a game show here's here's some symbolism of something going on in the news

what are we talking about and it's like oh it's president capturing Maduro and bringing them back to the United States that's right points for you even though there aren't really points but it's it's it's more like a like a skewering of the current news, not just, mostly political, because it's, you know, CNN, but there's some that's not, some that's not political. But it is always hilarious. And I'd love to see more shows like this in the U.S. that are modeled after the UK panel style show.

That's great. I didn't know. By the way, side note, I didn't know Amber Ruffin wrote 561 episodes of late night with Seth Myers. She was a head writer over there. She's head writer, and she does, every once in a while, he pulls her in for a segment called, um, I'm like, what? No, it's something like, it's something, I'm like what with Amber Ruffin? Or I was like, what? Uh, basically she, she does like a little monologue thing where she talks about current events and she, but it's always like, I saw that, uh, uh, the raccoon passed out in a liquor store. I was like, what?

And then I realized it was the new Guardians of the Galaxy trailer, something like that. It's, um, that's great. Oh, Grandma. There you go. She's Travis. Amber says what. There is, yeah. I see a little clippie thing of it.

It is a great. It is another hilarious segment. Like I said, she is a freaking gem. She is on everything, too. She is, yeah. Big Mouth Central Park last week tonight with John Oliver, a couple of segments. Mm, not surprised. Key and Peele, she was the party wife.

Oh, really? Yeah. That's great. That's great. Well, there you go. Cool. There you go. British style, comedy, humor, and last.

tracks everybody watch those things that we talked about because they're all funny i agree i'm going to share something with you that made me laugh okay i don't know uh i don't know if he knew this song or if he just was grooving okay but while we were at the basketball game um i will say this about van he was not impressed after about 10 times they had these guys you know they have special teams in college sometimes that during halftime that come out and do some crazy oh sure jump off tramps and do triple spins and five guys will come up and do a chain of events and the final guy does the dunk or whatever it's like a whole drill team of thing you do at the school I guess or whatever I don't know how it works but these guys are out there doing it and when he first saw that saw the first five or

six dunks out of his mind blown away just really okay whoa and clapping and free he couldn't believe it by about the eighth time he was like all right I've seen it all okay so I filmed the final time that they did one of these shots and then I panned the camera over to him to see what his reaction was. And I just thought that this was delightful and I had to share it with the fine folks at home. So I'm going to do that now.

Let me scroll this up. So we can see it. This is the University of Utah versus Arizona game. I mentioned yesterday. And Van is with us. And it's the last part that matters. All right. Okay.

And I can't remember the name of this song. What's the song with the whistle, the rap, the kind of hip-hop song with the whistle in it. That's always going, whet? Damn it. I used to know this name. That one that goes,

do do do do do do that might be it. Oh, it's a house of pain is the house of pain. That's it. Okay. So just know this is featured here. I don't think it'll get us blocked because it's the way it's used is so quiet. Anyway, here you go and try. not from breathed anymore

he's such a weird he's such a weirdo dude such a great expression I love it anyway he loves that song I just watched a video actually that talked about where they pulled all those different

like all the different samples from that song like the the um that re is like a saxophone like a hit from a saxophone in part of like a jazz song and then the

the dean dean dean dean is from an old Motown like a Motown hit single Oh it's all samples All different samples, yeah That probably shouldn't surprise us But remember when that was such a problem

Remember when everyone was losing their shit over that? Yeah I mean and it kept people from getting Grammys because they were using samples like Past Time Paradise and Gangsta's Paradise for Culeo. Yeah. Now we just all they all just do it. Right. Exactly. One other thing

I wanted to mention yesterday Brian got me to buy a thing. I talked about a pre-show, but I bought the Pomodoro little gadget unit thing. Yeah. Love this thing. It's great. I found something else I really want. Brian's already seen it in the dock, but it's a butter mold that comes out

in the shape when you get a cold comes out the shape of a Terminator hand with a thumb up and then you slowly melt it down so it disappears like from freaking Terminator. Just like the Terminator to Judgment Day, the final moments of Schwarzenegger's character. I'd make eggs

every day for this. I would be so into it and I would even go gung gung gung gung gung while it was happening. I'm actually more sad music for the end but it's the sad music right. Exactly. Anyway, how awesome is that? You've got to, but the problem is you've got

mold your butter and you've got to do it with like um oh i guess it's probably a silicone mold so you what melt your butter pour it in the mold put it back in the fridge and you've got yes i think so according to the where i found this they had a brief description it said that they yeah melt their butter pour it in and then they got like the way they had this mold it was like six of these and then they would have six fists to work with over the next sure however long that took them to use them um still a little bit of a pain be nice if they came pre-packaged like if he just bought butter that had they came in these It would be even better, but yeah.

The guy claimed he printed, something about it was 3D printed. I don't know if you can print in silicone or not, but it was something, they were silicone, but it was something, maybe it was the racking of it or something. Sure. He homemade these somehow. You can print TPU, which is more of a soft-like rubbery. It might have been that. That sounds familiar.

Maybe that's what he said. But the, you know, big issue is none of that is truly food safe. There's still no 100% food safe 3D printing material. Like you've got your resin, your filament, stuff like that. They say, yeah, no, don't put food. You know, don't make your little plate, need food off of it. Yeah. Only those ones that do actual like chocolate or sugar printing, I guess.

Right. The actual 3D printers that do candy printing and stuff like that. And not a, it'd have to be a special printer, right? Like this one with the softer material, that's not either printer you have. You'd have to go get it. I can print TPU from both, actually. I think there's, no, not a TPU resin, but I have some TPU filament. I've always been, I bought some.

Dude, I've been so afraid to use it because I don't want to clog anything, but I think it's time. I need to break down and just print something TPU. Yeah, because if, yeah, I would, I'd be worried, too. It'd be like, that stuff soft and pliable and gooey. Yeah, because the, you know, the thing with filament with some printers is that you've got a little roller right there by the extruder. Extruder heats up.

It gets super, super hot, 200 degrees Celsius or whatever it is. And then you've got a little roller that pushes the filament down into it. And depending on how far that roller is from where it ends up, it's like pushing rope, basically, right? Because you've got this softer filament that's like rubber as opposed to the hard plastic of filament. So you have to send it through a different way. Oh, Miss C. Mavro says it can't go through the AMS. oh I didn't know that really so I can't put it through the AMS I'd have to I'd have to do it like a direct feed into the extruder but that's maybe that's a pangs you have to assemble disassemble reassemble and all that but that but that also takes away some of the trepidation about it getting all bunged up right like it's a little more raw not really it's I mean that the trip from the AMS to the printer not really a not a sticking point not a problem issue but um But it is, you're right.

The pulling, like basically having to disassemble one of the four leads going into my extruder and then having a mounted roll somewhere that pulls from the TPU. That's a pain in the ass. But I should. I need to break down and just print something TPU and get over my fear of doing it. I watched one of those videos of a house getting 3D printed. That's always one of the last. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Blowing down like cement loaf. Do you remember when I predicted that on... I do. forecast. Yeah. Yes. Not that too terribly long ago. It was probably, oh, man, it's probably actually pushing.

Seven years. Maybe even more. Maybe even more. 12, 13 years or something. But yeah, you had said, this is going to be a thing you can do. I'm sure enough. You could just have a, you know, have a little goo printer that just jute, jute, jude, and does the.

I find those, I find those very chill to watch. Like, there's something about it. And it's big, heavy cement. But the way it kind of just poop. poops out of there. Yeah. I don't know. There's something a little bit satisfying about it.

It looks like the, you know, the most satisfying bowel movement ever. Yeah. Which, you know, we could all use occasionally. Hey, everybody. Guess what? We brought you some news. Our news team has been hard at work overnight. Oh, good.

Thank goodness. None of these are old stories. Just kidding. They're almost all aren't. But doesn't matter. We're bringing it to you here first. That's what we do. We bring you the best news, the biggest news.

Here's the news. Enjoy the news. Today's news is brought to you. brought to you by Rock Puzzles Month. Yes, it's a brand new month means new puzzles coming at you. But if you join right now by going to patreon.com slash rock puzzles monthly, you'll still get December because I've not taken December down to put it into the for sale, like the cell packets, right? Like after about a week, I put the packets up and you can just buy the packets outright if you don't want to commit to being a patron. But you don't want to do that. You want to get the packets as being a patron. because you get all the benefits of like the Discord chat where people are there to help you, right? Leslie, to help you get through the tougher puzzles and give you a nudge when you need a nudge or a hint when you need it. Anyway, rock puzzles monthly. People loved the December set. And there was one in there that I was especially proud of that featured a bunch of cassette tapes. And I, I, that, you know, that's going on the wall of, of proudest puzzle moment is coming up with that one. So don't miss out then, jerks.

Don't miss out. You can still get that one by joining Rock Puzzles Monthly. Today, you'll get the December packet and you'll get the January packet when it comes out later this month. Nice. Now, while you're on the internet, use some of your internet points. If you haven't already, go get your tickets for Nerdtacular. Here's one of the problems we ran into pretty quickly, which was we have these add-ons for the little. Remember the lunch thing we did in 2015 and 17?

Yeah, that was a blast. It was super, super fun. Those went, those kind of sold over time last time. Yeah. Those are gone today. Wow. So people are already lined up for that. Now, I understand somebody accidentally bought twice and so I have to fix that today.

That means something will open. And we may expand it. We're trying to figure out what kind of space we have because we may be able to get more. But I'm just saying, get in there, get your rooms, get your stuff, do your thing. I don't want people to wait too long and then find out they can't do stuff. Are people going to demand their money back, though, if they wanted a table with Bo and John and ended up at a table with me? Yes. And there's a way.

Absolutely. Right there, I'm going to go, lick my thumb and deal out the dollar bills. The fat stacks, the fat stacks that I'll have there clearly. Make it rain on them? Here you go. Here's your money. Hold still. You got stuck watching Brian eat.

a ham sandwich and sorry for your loss sorry about that but yeah there's uh there's just you know plenty of ticket tickets

I'm just saying we're going a little faster than I'm used to which is surprising to me but I'm excited about that but also it just means I want you know get in there get the thing plus we got early bird pricing right now I worked tirelessly and I mean this when I say it

I'm not just tooting my own horn or pulling my own chain sure wait those are two very different different meanings. Very different things, yes. Tooting your own chain. Toot in my own chain. Pulling my own horn. Wait. Also not good. But I really worked hard on this for affordability. That was number one. I wanted to, in our world of ever increasing prices. Yeah. Our 400%, everything's down 300% and whatever, all that bullshit. I tried really hard to do that. So we got hotel rates lower than Snowbird was in 2017. That's That's crazy. She really went baddened over backwards for me on that one.

That's awesome. And just getting everything in line to make it less of an impact. I can't control things like flights or gas or any of that. But we worked really hard on that. And so I want as many of you to come as possible. If you've got a kid five or under, they get in free. Yeah. And they're going to have a blast.

This is not TMS Vegas. This is not like porn card flickers and puking on the high roller. This is, you know, this is family fun entertainment, board games all the time. Scott and Brian and Randy and Brian getting up there and watching some dumb movie. I guess we're going to figure out what our ideal movie is for live film set. Got to come up with something that's fun visually, you know. Exactly. Yeah, we're very excited about all that.

And Brian's right. Very family friendly, very kid friendly. So, and we love kids. We're going to, I'll have free stuff for kids. We're going to have all kinds of cool stuff. Stickers and things like that. Yeah, it's going to be great. Let's get to this news.

We have this story I've been holding on to for too long. Yeah. Just like the person in the story. A man has been charged with theft after allegedly swallowing a Faberget egg. Yes, that's right. Police in New Zealand have charged a man with the theft after he allegedly stole a jewel-encrusted. That's going to come out hard. I was going to say, I'm envisioning this has got to be surgically removed because,

you don't want to pass a Faberjeet egg. I watched that James Bond with the, you know, the Faberge eggs and how spiky those are with the crystals and all that sort of thing. Which one was that? That wasn't with the clown. It was like another, it was another double-o agent begins with the double-o agent dressed as a clown. Oh. And it's like, you guys gave this dude a license to kill. He like can't even make it through.

He's trying to run through the forest. He's like dressed as Pagliacci and he can't even do it. Yeah, you're not wrong. I don't know what you'd do here. I know that it would tear your guts apart to actually not. They don't get into whether it was surgical or not. But I'm with Brian here. If you don't have a professional do this, what are you doing?

Yeah, no, you don't want to pass that. But he took it. It was made of gold, jewel-encrusted stuff. It's a little locket from a jeweler. So it's not huge, but it's, you know, I still don't think you want to pass it. he picked it up and swallowed it the unusual incident occurred on Friday afternoon in a store in central Auckland

that's in New Zealand band meeting ban meeting so is it a so okay not a full size not like that you know what I always think of like this big right right but it's like it's probably about like that

but still jewels on it yeah look at the sides of that thing like there's some oh yeah we got a picture I share this I assume they don't say whether that's the actual egg.

It says the man allegedly swallowed a Faberjay, James Bond octopusy egg locket. So its octopusy was the, uh, that's my little octopusy. Oh, geez. Oh, that's funny. Hold on. Let's see. Might be the worst line in any James Bond film, by the way. Oh, no.

It's, Maude Adams and her, oh, what about this tattoo? I know it wasn't Sean Conner, but I just want to say it as Sean Conner. Oh, yeah, that's my little octopusy. Yeah, I wish I had a good, I don't have a good impression for almost any of the other bonds. Like, they're hard to do impressions of. Oh, money or penny. No, he can do it. He's a little more like, brer.

He is. He's like the Dean Martin of, of James Bond. Yeah. Well, anyway, he got in huge trouble. And he's 32 years old. Not that that matters. And according to the statement, he will be charged with, let's see, theft. remanded to custody.

Let's see, prior to a scheduled court appearance on December 8th, blah, blah, blah. I'm trying to see. Oh, it does say, in separate statement, published Wednesday, Anderson said the man had undergone a medical assessment at the time of his arrest and is being constantly monitored by an officer. So probably since this was published, he has passed the contraband. Yeah, probably. Oh, gosh.

Yeah, which, you know. I'm going to celebrate by going and eating an entire kinder egg hole. Swallowed hole, toy and all. Horrendous. Horrendous. And then there's this story here of a couple. They won their... The headline says,

Scoop a second lottery win. I would just say they won a lottery twice, but what is? Well, you know, it's in the UK. A couple scoop to sick lottery win. Oh, well, God. It says here, the Welsh couple beat the Welsh couple beat the 24 trillion to one odds. Jeez.

That's insane. That is insane. No one... Okay. In the entire recorded human history, has anyone else ever beaten in any scenario of any kind, even unknowingly beaten 24 trillion to one odds?

Oh, I would think so. I mean, I think there's probably things that happen... Wild to me. Maybe not every day, but probably things that happen in life that's like, I mean, you know, life on earth is probably 24 trillion to one odds or something. Oh, actually, that's a really good point. I didn't think of that. Yeah. Like it's, you know, these things, but I think it's the whole like, you know, if you, if you ignore the 24 trillion to one odds and what are the odds of winning the lottery twice?

That is the kind of thing. It's like, wow. Okay. That, you know, that in and of itself is a feat. Yeah. I learned, oh, this is Cool. So a lot of people have trouble fathoming, you know, you hear one million and you hear one billion. I'm not even getting into one trillion, but you hear one million and one billion. It's like, oh, yeah, those are such massive numbers. I can't even think about really what they are comparison-wise. Right. Here's a way I learned how to compare the differences between the two. All right. A million seconds is about 11 days. A billion seconds is about 31 and a half years. Yeah. Yeah. You want to know a billionaire and a millionaire. put that in your salad and eat it. Put that in your... Exactly. It's like, okay, that's a big difference between a million and a billion. Yeah, a lot. Because sometimes I think we get...

We easily get rolled into this feeling of... It's just the next step up and it's not that much more, but it's massive. It's massive. It's a massive difference. And I don't even know what the... So what's one trillion seconds? Let me see. Oh, that's going to hurt.

It is going to hurt. We just... We basically approved... bat for our defense budget this year. One trillion seconds is 31,709 years. That's all. So you'd have to live that long, wait. You'd have to live that many years.

It's per second, you said, dollar per second? No, no, no. That is one second, one trillion seconds equals 31,700 years. I keep doing money for some reason. I know you keep doing money. Don't think money. Yeah. it's hard for me not to mix them or do them yeah yeah that's wild it's wild to think about like

okay that's that's you know the differences between these are so astronomical but you think million billion trillion and they're all just uh what's the word not fuzzy math but they're all like so um we just know them as big numbers amorphous big numbers and it's like no there's there's big differences between those big numbers yeah that's the best we it's the best we've got to have our tiny brains wrap around it. Exactly. Just think about it in time. Yeah. So thanks math and time. We appreciate it. Yeah. Thank you, math.

Guys, guess what? It's time for this. Here's a tangent for him. Be careful. May cause drowsiness. I am here to play some board games, and I can't do that without recommendations from Dan. Actually, I'll bet. Once again, I had a whole family thing where I had card games out. Everybody's ready to play all these games that we've been accumulating for the last six months. And I could never get anybody. to freaking sit still long enough to do anything but you did brian right you played a much of stuff yeah we got

flip seven we played flip seven with the family and that is that is such an easy game to teach everyone right like anyone who's like oh my god i don't want a big complicated game or anything like that by the way i'm not hearing dan if he's still connected oh i'm a greeting he's here yeah hi we just haven't we just haven't properly introduced right well gotcha i didn't want to interrupt the uh Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah, but Flip 7 is like, it's as easy to learn as freaking Uno. You know, it's basically like, you understand Uno? You pretty much understand Flip 7.

And it's really more like it's Blackjack meets Uno, which is great. Yeah. This weekend, we broke out, returned to Dark Castle again. And I should have taken a picture of it, but I'm sorry, returned to Dark Tower. Yeah, yeah. And we played a scenario. We played the second scenario. the first scenario it's a good learning one easy to be relatively right um the second scenario holy poop

it kind of kicked our butts because we we focused on the wrong thing and it's like oh we need to be taken out the little minions as well as working on like the dungeons and things like that for advantages it's it's such a deep and cool a game i love it it's cool because you when you're when you're playing it like that you get through that first one you're like oh well maybe it ramps up later and then you just get slapped in a face in the second one with like oh wow it wraps up immediately yes exactly that's awesome yeah and you can still like you can find to use copies i think for under 200 bucks out there of just the base game um with the cardboard tokens i was nice enough to have been bequeathed from a listener the the full all-in kick starter pledge with the plastic

uh minions the two expansions covenant and alliances i haven't even figured out covenant in alliances like we we are still doing base game stuff but i'm wondering if we just if we should just jump to alliance well and what's good about that now i know you're uh you're super busy brian but what's great about the game is uh the ability to play it solo as well kind of you know since it's got the ipad you know which runs it anyway even when you're playing multiplayer but it does play so amazingly well kind of solo uh you know you could two-hand things pretty easy uh but it's such a great game what ends up happening with games like this so being that board gaming is such a cult of the new and you know especially the hardcore collectors

people that just you know they back things and then they you know back in and forget it and then they get it later they play it one or two times and then they've got like four other kickstars coming in and then they may not have a lot of boom yeah right and i'm a pack rat like i don't have no problem you know playing halfway through a campaign game be like right i'll come back to this and then other people just want to sell stuff they just want the new room they want to sell stuff to pay for new things and you can find copies of this. Not that it's a bad game, but people are just,

they're just not like me with being able to just hoard everything, hoard all their games. They just want to get rid of them and get the next thing. And after they, I will commit, or I'll admit to,

um, not to only playing the Ghostbusters board game that we, that I kick started once. And we, we enjoyed it. But for whatever reason, we never came back to it and I feel horrible because, you know,

It's sitting there in that, in our game cabinet right over there. And it was, it was fun. And my God, the minis are gorgeous on that one, too. A little clear slimer and stuff. That thing is so, so cool. So, it's funny. I don't even think I've thought about the Ghostbusters game since my Kickstarter. I have to look and see, so that what ends up happening with things like this,

what Ghostbusters is you have some of these companies like Cryptozoic, they did a pretty good job of this. I mean, Awaken Realms pumps out IP type big games. Seymond did some of those. You know, you got things like the Masters of Universe game. Even some of the games that are popular are kind of like zombie side of stuff. They just pump so many of them out. And there's only so much you're going to be able to, you know, and sometimes some of these companies,

I'm not pointing any fingers or anything, but sometimes they put these big, grandiose things out to Rob Peter to pay for Paul, so to speak. So you're getting all these millions in to pay for the next thing you're producing down the road, you know, from that. And you're not even then paying for the thing that was just kickstarted. But there's just so much bloat. And the games, I don't know much about, see, I never did actually play the kicks with the Ghostbuster games. I know some of the designers are actually pretty good.

So I can't really comment to this. But the fact that you haven't heard about this means it could be just another cookie cutter kind of campaign-y. Maybe. It's going to be decent, especially the first couple, but there's going to be a lot of the same. And who knows, maybe it's, they could have even re-skinned another one of the campaign games. Like, that's pretty easy to do with some of these people where, you know, people that are going to be playing X game, you know, may not play, you know, Ghostbusters. so it's easy to re-skinned some of those cards and use a lot of those same mechanics. It's just so hard to pump out so many games and make them unique and make them good.

But I remember really wanting to play that Ghostbusters game because it looked amazing. Like you said, the minis. And some people would just buy those games just to, even though it's probably easy to print your own Ghostbuster minis. But some of the games to have some of that stuff just sort of the RPG set. Yeah, it's a business where you've got a lot of people on the hook all the time, just ready for the next thing. and sometimes I do this with small indie games I get announced and I'll be like

ooh and then there's a hundred of them and the ones I was most excited about I have just like completely lost track of and then when they do come out I forget like I'm glad wish list and things exist so you can see stuff pop once in a while but I'll miss things

and I think it's just it's the kind of fandom problem you want I think you know and then no sales like the holiday sale and the New Year's sale and then the summer sale like all those sales come you buy things because they're cheap then you just forget about

them you're like oh my god i got 10 games i got to play at some point that's not even board games you know that's just uh you know pc games it's crazy well let's make it harder on some people and give them some new recommendations this week yeah so i'm gonna catch up on some a couple of games that have just kind of been piling up i've got a trip i'm going on in a couple weeks that i was going every year during mokk where i go up to detroit and it's basically motor city con it's kind of like a smaller con where i play a lot of big games that i kind of had missed throughout the year. But a couple of games that I did not necessarily miss. This one was, this first one here is called Coy. Now, there's an older game called Coy, but this is kind of a newer

game from DV games. And it's kind of a, kind of the next evolution. I don't want to call it a re-skim, but it's a next evolution of bonsai. Now, bonsai was a lot of fun because it's a very chill game. I mean, because, you know, you're making your, your bonsai tree. So it's very chill. Now, when I think, I don't know how everybody else, I'm going to test everybody out there in, you know, all the tadpole. How do you, you know, how do you think of Scott, not necessarily Brian, because I got other ways I think of you, Brian. Oh, gosh. Now, when I think of Scott hanging out with his grandkids, he's just a very chill Zen guy sitting

by his koi pond. That's kind of how I picture you in my mind. Do you really? That's a weird image, but sure. Well, let's go with it. I like it. So, like, and I don't even know if it gets, I don't even know if it's too cold out there and so, like, if you can even have, if there's any people in your neighborhood, you know,

you're not keeping koi your round. You'll have to move them out of it. coy pond into uh into something else during the surprisingly enough now i don't know oh really the latitude so my stepdad on long island he has a coy pond and i think you might have a little bit of heater but what they do is they kind of go to the very bottom where there's some sort of different effects and stuff where it stays to a reasonable level at the bottom and you you know you may lose hopefully you know lose because they tend to be expensive when they get bigger but you know they keep them for the most part outside uh and i don't know how much colder uh necessarily long island is

to salt lake uh but you know it's definitely a doable thing you probably have to you know do it yeah we had my my my brother-in-law steve before they moved to mississippi they had a coy pond in their house previous to the one they moved from and they had if i remember right it was year round but he may have had some kind of heating element in there probably heating element and something that kept the water moving so it wouldn't freeze i think so or even if it i can't remember i swear there was the time where there was like a crust of ice but the fish were fine yeah i think it had it was something like that even this lake over here they have to put in artificial warmers and stirs because some of the certain kinds of fish in there are not going to make it if

the whole thing freezes over so i think people do that sort of thing but also this year you could survive anything because we haven't gotten below freaking 40 degrees oh yeah oh that's crazy that it hasn't gotten uh that cold i mean it's really northeast has been getting pummeled and we had a couple of really nasty spells here in north carolina but the northeast has been getting pummeled with snow and stuff. And my son, he's up in Maine, and they've got a bunch of snow. And it was like, my family just got back from there. It was like four degrees when I left.

Yeah. See, it's, it's good. Whatever's going on in the Intermountain area, Brian and I are just having warm temperatures. I don't get it. We totally are. We're changing. Maybe we're the next California. Oh, I don't want that.

And then everything's going to be too expensive. So, hey, let's get back to the board game. So, Coy, not to cut you guys short, but Coy is a very chill game where you're basically making your coy pond or, you know, making your koi garden, so to speak, you know, Koi pond in your, you know, wherever it may be. But you're, it's, I just love these games where it's just very easy to teach and play because on your turn, you're either basically drafting a card or kind of doing your,

what I call quote unquote, doing your thing. You've got these actions that you can do to kind of like run your action mill. Because as you're drafting cards, you're going to get different actions that you can do and some of them are going to be one-time actions. And then others will be kind of put into your tablo that you're going to be able to do different things for it. Now, you're going to be getting water tiles and, Koi tiles and other tiles that will go into kind of your personal supply, which is a certain,

you know, just a certain size initially. And then you've got to get them, you know, you use another action to kind of set up your pond. Now, depending on whether you're putting rocks out or other flowers or the fish themselves, you want to kind of, you know, there's different, each round or sorry, each game will have kind of scoring, you know, there's main scoring and then there are going to be game scoring cards that'll come out. So you're going to, where you place things is going to be very important as far as which Koi get next to each other. or a coin next to nobody you know nothing around them so you're kind of building things out scoring cards building other you know structures out it's just really cool and what's really cool is not

uh you know not all the pieces are just basic uh cardboard or punchboard you've got these acrylic fish and i'm pretty sure every copy i don't think this is any sort of upgraded copy i think every copy comes with those acrylic i was going to ask you about that those looked like they had the reflections on the edges and stuff. Yeah. They looked really cool. They're a little transparent acrylic tiles so you can see the pond below. That's really cool.

That's rad. Oh, yeah. And I'm not sure what price-wise. I don't think that's all that more expensive to do in these different games because I don't think this game tends to be all that pricey. I think you can probably get it for about $40 to $60 at most. I think I even saw some copies out there for $30 for the game. Just a real fun game that you can play in about an hour.

Definitely. scot game where there's only a few different pages of rules you can be taught as you go as you're kind of playing you know as you're drafting the cards again when you're just when your basic actions are basically just you know draft a card or just do your stuff which your stuff will be right in front of you anyway it's just so much fun now bonsai was fun too but to me coy seems a little bit better because when you were playing bonsai like no the fun thing about making a bonsai tree is that you want to see what it looks like but as you're playing it it gets really if you're trying to win the game rather than just kind of play,

your tree is going to be really weird looking. You're like, well, that's not really ever going to be that much fun. Here, when you're making your koi pond, every time you play, you're going to be making a really cool aesthetically. And you could say, oh, maybe I want to put a little bit of stones over there. And it'll help me with some scoring, and it'll look pretty cool in front of me. So, you know, this is, these are games. I say this sometimes where the destination may not be as good as the journey,

where as you're playing it, it's so much fun that by the time you're done, And this happens sometimes with party games. When you're done, like, who really cares what kind of points you score? You know, you kind of want to win and you want to score. But I want to have fun making, seeing what I can make in front of me with these different, you know, the different pieces in how I draft and the coy. You know, obviously, you know, scoring points and winning is fun and all. But when you're doing something for an hour, like making a coy pond, it's more fun to see the fruits of your labor.

And I think that would be pretty easy as you're playing. Yeah, this one seems very cool. I'm going to look around for this. Like you said, this sounds like the price is right. Can you get it just about anywhere? Can I go to Target? Yeah, I mean, especially most online retailers and probably a lot of the friendly local game stores should have this in stock. Again, Scott, you got enough games that you don't play.

You may not need this, but everybody listening may want to get this. Yeah, I think, you know, if you've got, look, like you said, all that stuff Brian mentioned, I have copies of most of what he's got and he found time to play it over the holidays. I don't know what happened. I could not get my family. And I don't just be my immediate. Like we had tons of people around. They're all here to see my mom and stuff.

And nobody, I could never get anybody at a table chilling out doing a focused thing like that. Maybe that's might explain a lot. Sometimes you just need, you know, and for years, you know, in my old age, I've kind of got a lot less of this. But, you know, when I was trying to get a lot more things played, I would have, you know, have my aunt, my uncle and then my family. And I'd be like, all right, we're playing something. Let's go, just do it. Let's go play. And then now that I've gotten, you know, just, it's harder to, for me to be.

the, you know, needler or it's like, all right, let's play this. Let's play a game, right, because everyone's in conversation. You don't want to pull them away. And then, you know, in games, like, that's why I think some games like Flip 7 are so good for that because you could just sit there with four people and just start playing.

And after you're playing and laughing, all of a sudden, more people want to start playing. Yes. Now, this next one that I'll get to you real quick is, this was an interest. So this is, I'll try to be as brief as I can about talking about this side of game. This is called Bomba. Now, I'm pretty sure bomb busters won a spiel de Charis game last year.

Now, there are just party games that I absolutely love, and they are just party games that I just tolerate. Now, I could be wrong about bomb busters. I just kind of tolerate it. It's kind of in that same vein of games like the game or the mind, not the gang. Now, the gang, I absolutely love. Now, to me, games like Flip 7, the gang, other, there are kind of these logic puzzle games. Now Flip 7 is not a logic puzzle, but things like the gang, that's more fun to me where you're trying to figure stuff. out rather than the mind or the game because to me, party games where you're not really

allowed to talk. I mean, that kind of takes a little bit out of it. But there's definitely some fun to bomb busters. Now, in bomb busters, you're three to, play this one three to four, too. It's not really great. But three to four or, sorry, three to five players, you're diffusing a bomb. Now, in front of you, there's going to be these chits. They're going to be from one to 12, depending on, you know, the random draw that you have

got in front of you. And some of them will be yellow and, you know, a couple of them will be yellow. and one will be red. You're trying to defuse the bomb without being able to tell anybody anything and see, now at the beginning of the game you'll have to tell, like, everybody tells one thing where it's like,

all right, this is my 10. This is A10. And now on your turn, you're saying, all right, you're looking at somebody else and saying, hey, is that a 12? And then you can flip over your 12 if you're right. If you're wrong, they'll give you a hint as to what it is.

And then the clock, you know, the timer will go down one. Now, there's a little bit more to it. There's things that help you, things that get in your way. there's like, I don't want to say, there's 40 different scenarios and you unlock boxes and stuff. So if you really like this thing, there's a lot more ways to challenge you and play. It is, again, it is a fun little, you know, I don't want to say not experiment.

I'm trying to look for the right word because to me, saying game on certain things, it just, maybe it's more of an experience, it's a fun little experience and it is kind of a logic game, I guess. But it's just kind of a difference between this and playing some other things. I don't know. It's not, it's definitely really well. It's 8% on board game geeks. Oh, yeah. And 8.0 is huge. And the fact that it won, you know, the spiel last year makes, you know, it's huge and it'll sell a gazillion copies because of that. And a lot of people are saying, oh, it's my new favorite party. Yeah, but it came out, you know, it's the cult of the new. Like the, the fresh. Of course. So. There reminds me a little bit of that, um, uh, don't touch anything or we blow up or what was there was like. Uh, don't. Don't. Something. where we explode what is it yeah yeah it definitely has that feel to it it's like your VR game thing right right exactly yes where one person has like all

the things you're supposed to do and then the other person is able to see the stuff oh here it is talking and nobody explodes that's it yeah that's it that's what it can reminds me that's a fun that's a really fun game yeah even those kind of games are good because like that's it's all about communicating without communicating or Not communicating with, you know, stuff like that is real fun. Here, it's definitely a logic problem. And I love logic problems and logic games. There's just something that it's kind of like, you know, I got other things.

But, again, I know I'm wrong about this. And sometimes I just like to bring games. I think people like, I do think people will like this game more than I do. But it's kind of hard not to talk about, you know, the bomb in the room, so to speak, with how good it was last year and how many people are putting it on their top list. I love the art. The cute little animal art is my favorite. part. I like that. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, it does look great. I mean, and it's cool on the table. Again, I think a lot of

people should experience it, you know, maybe even a try before you buy, and you may, it does make a very good first impression as well. Then repeated plays for me kind of went down. To me, I like Koi a little bit better, but I'm more of a Euro player anyway, even if it is a light, you know, lighter Euro. You know, even though on VGG, they have these two around the same weight. Quoy is definitely a little bit heavier but not quote unquote heavy you said scott you would definitely still like both of these games and they're both in your wheelhouse or you just take a little bit more it just you know it takes a little more to get to the table perfect and if by the way if you guys are all playing that drinking game that's three shots you've taken now right oh no way I'm sorry no no no no like drinking

shots they're drinking the shots oh okay yeah yeah yeah every time you talk about how scott games that have more than one page of instruction. A little bit of a drinking game. It was on the bingo card for sure, I know that. And of course when I sat down to talk to you guys, I'm sure a bunch of people got up and went to John and Beau's table.

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. They'll probably want to sit if we end up seeing Dan there, they'll want to sit at Dan's table. He'll know all the best games. I want to sit at Dan's table. Is that possible? Can I do that? Hell yeah. I'm working on it because I have two kids that are graduating. one's from high school

and ones from college that's taking up a lot of vacation time and that it is plus that's usually right around May and June right yeah exactly so it's May and June

so see what happens yeah and I'll have to see what happens and it's because I keep feeling bad because I keep kind of putting it on a carrot on a stick to everybody but yeah I'll be there I'll be there and then no but right now I am definitely working on it I will know soon because

it's funny because I just went into the one chat room where I was like oh yeah all stars yeah Brian I I was like I saw it from about a month ago I was like, I should message Brian that if I'm there, I'm definitely in. Oh, hell yeah. Good. I hope so.

Got to fill those teams up, man. Yeah, the game room is going to be epic this year. It's going to be like the biggest we've ever had. It's going to be insane in there. And if there was a, if Dan Patrice somehow graces that space, we're all just going to shit our pants simultaneously. Well, you're a saint of a man, Scott. So everybody, uh, return a drink because I feel bad. Oh, no, yeah.

Everyone barf up that second drink. that's what happens when you drink too much you return right it's hard to find games to take shots of brian that things he doesn't want or i could just give him grief about uh you know adding more minis that he needs to pay oh yeah it's more minnie exactly yeah you definitely don't have enough minnies brian get more i don't i need more minis more minis uh well this is good stuff i'm always excited about this list uh once again coy and the other one was bomb buster buster there you go both available wherever fine board games or car games are sold.

All right. Dan, hope you have a good year, man. I hope 2026 is a solid one for the Patrice family. Happy new year to you guys and everybody else. And I look forward to talking to guys next month. Yeah, we'll see you next month, brother. Bye. Oh, I forgot to get them all the geek jock stuff and all that.

Go checking them out. Where is it? Geek on Discord and. Geek something, All-Stars. geek the geek yeah what is it all stars oh no I feel bad

my brains the geek all stars that's it geek allstars yeah podcast geek all stars podcast there it is we wanted to put another word in there yeah go check it out

board games movies TV MMOs all that fun stuff with Dan and his pals that is it for that yeah I was literally saying the title and thinking it was wrong I don't know what's wrong isn't there a geek all stars podcast

called Something Geek All-Stars? Oops. We got a quick email from David. Cool. David has a fix. Oh, good. He needs a fix. Oh, it has a fix.

He's putting in the fix or however that phrase goes. The fix is in. The fix is in there it is. I knew we'd get to it. Yeah. This is for my lightsaber rubber coming apart problem. Stickiness. Yeah.

My sticky rubber. You know the one? I know the one. He says, for the lightsaber with the rubber that leeches the stick. sticky. I'm pretty sure. I love how he puts that. Leaches the sticky. I'm pretty sure this is a normal thing for real rubber. Anyway, here's the fix. Take some baking soda and make a paste. Then rub it all over the rubber parts. We need some sexy music during this. I found it works best using your hands. Again, one, one nine seven six, uh, lightsaber. Hell yeah. You only see this at like 2 a.m. if you stay up that late watching TV. Let's, and then it says let it sit for a bit and then rinse it or use a damp cloth. If you can't rinse it, I think I should be able to rinse it. Anyway. I wouldn't put that underwater.

No, I would say, because this is your, this is the electronic part of your lightsaber. Yeah, that's true. It's part, yeah. I would not hold that under running water. Use the damn cloth. I think that's a good idea. It's not, there's, it's porous down there where the batteries are and stuff. Yeah.

Anyway, take off the baking set off and take the, it'll take the sticky ride off. It might take a few tries, but it should work. You might have to redo this later. as this is just a real thing rubber does. The first time I heard this, I didn't think it would work, but I've used it numerous times since, and it actually does, says David Madison, Wisconsin. That's awesome, dude.

I'm going to totally do that. By the way, why didn't anyone ever, speaking of things that remove things? Yeah. I don't know why I don't, maybe someone did say something. Hell, even maybe Brian told me once. But I never remembered this.

The magic fiber brand of fiber, like, glass cleaner cloths. Clubs, yeah, uh-huh. These are truly magic. Really? Holy shit. This is something I've never even heard of. I had, so I have the micro fiber or the, not microfiber, the nanofiber surface on my iPad

Pro is the one I draw on all the time. Sure, yeah. And I did that because it creates a little edge. It's like paper or whatever. It feels more like that. The problem with that is, it is literally like a little micro fiber, nanofiber, and it collects oil in a much more hardcore way than, traditional screen does. So with the traditional screen, just wipe it and you're good. This thing, no matter

what I used, even with like, safe chemicals that are safe for the glass, but still, you know, are meant to clean. We're not taking the stuff out. I'm like, what have I done? It's just going to be in there forever. Oh, no, I'm, I guess I'll just have to live with it. And then someone says, well, you should try these. Maybe it'll, maybe that'll work. So I did. It immediately worked. I didn't have to put anything special. Didn't have to make it wet. I just went, it or eat, gone. And super clean. So this is the magic fiber. microfiber cleaning cloth. Yeah, and I think these are like, well, expensive for what they are, but I want to say it's like

10 bucks for six. Yeah, I found that. Yeah. These are amazing. And I'm still using the first clock, but like glasses, all the screens, my keyboard, plastic surfaces, it doesn't matter. Anything that looks like maybe I've, you know, Cheeto fingered the space bar too often. And you just sometimes you just go, well, that's just with time.

That's the toll it takes. Yeah. And that's true with most of these. Kloss, this thing took it right out. I don't know how much you get out of each thing. Just added to my cart. I need to buy $25 to get free shipping, but that won't be a problem. I'll do that with something else later.

Oh, right, because they have the, yeah, yeah. Yeah. But anyway, one of the most, like, you know how there's a lot of products in the world and they all claim to do what you need? Once in a while, one of them does, and it's a great feeling. Okay, there's an Amazon link for you, people. Big recommendation. Use it.

Yeah. one final email text rather this is from some guy okay oh did I just give a link maybe I didn't give the right link hold on people it looks right that link might not have did it go to the right place hold on let me double check oh no it didn't it went to some pillows or something yeah exactly that's the link use that link right there you will be don't use iCores link use my link yeah use ignore iCore's link yeah forget iCore's link can I delete iCore's link can I just Kick I-Corps and his link will disappear? Can we just boot him from all future interactions?

Just kidding. We love him. We couldn't do that. We love I-Corps. We do. Some guy wrote in is literally signed at some guy. And he says, Hello, Scott and Brian with a Y.

How do you feel about that? You like that Y in there? Whatever. Some people don't know. I'll let him have it this time, some guy. It just seems like the default is always the I anyway. Part of me thinks that some guy's doing it on purpose. I'll tell it a lot.

guys like yeah because he's a little snarky in the rest of it too yes he is he says sick of tweens screaming six seven i don't know if it's tweens so much but whatever yeah it says i have a simple solution uh embrace it's i'm not sure what that means but embrace it oh embrace it okay yeah embrace it's solution embrace it's i think there should be a comma i have a simple solution comma embrace it oh and no ass he forgot right he he forgot the comma and added ness yeah that's probably it He says, scream it louder than them. They will give that up immediately once they see old people liking it. There's a theory around that with everything kids are into.

If a parent or adult gets super stoked about it, that will diminish their interest. It kills it immediately. Yeah, it's like, oh, God. Yeah. And then they'll do the same thing when they're older. It's just a pattern. It's a cycle. So I hadn't really thought of this.

But at the game, another thing Van did while we're sitting at the game, Mr. Grint at the camera and dance. Yeah, it was more like a smirk at the camera. It wasn't really a grin. It was like a... Yeah, but they had a guy come out. Number 67. And he goes, and he goes from Arizona, something, something, 67. And Van goes, 6-7, 6.7, he starts freaking out.

Uh-huh. And I went, no! They all think it's hilarious. Sure, sure. He doesn't even know why, because he's only freaking... Well, nobody knows why. Because it means nothing. no it's six year old and also he's turning seven so right now he's having this whole

i'm gonna i'm six but i'm gonna be seven pops a six seven get it six seven i'm like yeah can't freaking get it but you know what maybe sooner better than he'll get out of his system and maybe that's probably the better thing is that yeah let's just let it run its course and just get over with if we if we fight it it'll it'll last longer yeah i think you're right um let's get out of here a couple things yeah nertacular is over at frogpans.com just go click it, get in there.
