You know, you have to tell us if you're a cop, right?
You also have to think about supporting TMS and being our hero at patreon.com slash TMS.
Coming up on the morning stream, Zorio.
Puffington host.
Hubbubba toil and trubba.
How many chips are a hoeing because I like really wanted to know?
Spicy Seshwan Panda.
Silence Potato.
Pinky knuckle.
Is January a bulge or a divot?
Iambic Petameter, the Witches Cadens.
Go out in sports.
It's so rancid.
It's from the 70s.
I'm packing heat.
Diablo packets.
Hot dog water room with flavored rails.
Hail hydrox.
Don't fight winter people with Wendy and more on this episode of the morning stream.
You know what sucks?
When you get a new bag of chips and you open it up and then you go do something?
You mean like a street car hitting a horse.
I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
This is the morning stream.
Hello, everyone, and welcome to TMS.
It is Thursday, January 29th.
The year is 2026.
I am Scott Johnson.
That's Brian, I bet.
Hello, happy Thursday.
Yeah, man.
Almost to the end of this month, already, crazy.
It is, I know.
We have 31 this year, though, right?
We do.
This year we have 31 days in January.
Like every January.
Like every January.
Yeah, I always forget which months don't and which.
Which ones do? Is it just, it's not just February, is it that doesn't have the full 30?
No, no, no. So here's how you do it. You put out your knuckles. Do it with me, Scott. Put out your knuckles. All right. Just like that. All right. Now, start with your right most knuckle, pinky knuckle, right? This one. Okay. Yep. All right. January. See how it sticks up? There's a bulge. 31. There's a divot right next to it. That's February. That's either 28 or 29 depending on the year.
All right. Then there's another knuckle. That's March.
That's 31.
That's 31.
Then there's another divot.
That's April.
That's 30.
Yeah.
Then there's a knuckle.
That's May.
That's 31.
June 30.
The next divot.
July 31.
Oh, but there's no divot.
You go right to August 31.
Then September's 30.
October's 31.
Where did you learn this?
Where did this happen?
Is this like an old school thing that I missed or something?
I don't know where I learned it.
It was more recent than school.
I think somebody, you know what?
It was somebody in college or something.
Oh my gosh.
That showed me that.
It's like, it's, it's funny because it basically alternates until you get to July.
And then it starts the 31 alternation again.
Yeah.
That's really weird.
I've never thought of it.
I'm going to teach this to Van and not have a generation grow up not knowing this.
There you go.
Yes.
And is there enough for all, yeah, it's all slots.
All slots.
And even, you even have slots left over for whatever you could put an Eminem in there.
Who do you think the first person was that just set that in?
I figured that out.
Julius Caesar.
Right before he was killed by his own friend.
Well, that's fantastic.
I like that.
I learned something there.
Yeah, there's that whole like 30 days half September.
No, yeah, 30 days hath September, April.
What is it?
April, June and November.
And November, yeah.
The problem with that is it's all out of order.
Plus it feels like something a witch would say, you know?
I don't like it.
It feels like a curse.
So I don't trust curses.
Because you say it to the same rhythm as bubble toil and trouble.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's got that same cadence.
It's the witch's the witch's patter.
The witch's cadence.
Yeah, I like the knuckle thing.
We're going with knuckles.
Give me the knuckles.
Wait a minute.
What?
Anyway, hey, we have to test another Oreo.
Before we do, though, there's a little bit of news on this front.
I just got a message about this somewhere.
Oreo news, okay.
Some social media I got it, but anyway, hang on.
Whoops, wrong one, hold on.
Would you not eat my pants?
Ah!
This is apparently not Japanese.
This is Chinese.
Oh, is it really?
Well, he pointed out if you look at the characters,
and now that I do, I kind of see the,
I mean, I can at an eyeball, kind of tell what something's different.
There's more stuff than kanji.
Like, kanji, I feel like kanji is simpler.
This is, uh, yeah, this is, plus if we would have gotten out our, our Google Translate app,
but you're right, it's definitely, definitely Chinese.
Oh, yeah.
How would that appear?
Let's try that.
I haven't done that in a long time.
Let's do this for fun.
It's, it'll probably have to download my Translate app.
I think I still have it.
Oh, no, I don't.
Did they move it?
No, I just, I just, uh, not now.
Actually, this may just be built into the phone now.
Let's see.
All right, let's, I'll, let's, I don't know.
Okay.
Translate.
It's detecting.
Mm-hmm.
I'll tap shutter button to pause.
Well, don't do Spanish, obviously.
Hello, this is Oreo.
It's funny that it's not automatically detecting.
Yeah, I don't know.
I thought it would, and it doesn't.
So, chat room, you can help us too.
Does that look like?
Okay, here we go.
It has translated mine.
What does it say?
it um so this top these big letters up top i would have thought it said orio you know the big uh
letter up top nope apparently it says oh no oh they're eating the oh no's oh no oh we can't be eating
oh no's that actually sounds like a real treat bag of oh no's oh i love the nibisco oh no's
This one says
Oh, fantastic.
Corio
Grape flavor for water room rail flavor.
Ooh. No thanks.
Corio grape flavor for water room
Rail flavor.
That's amazing. You should screencap that and then share it to the world.
Yes.
I don't want to.
Water room rail flavor?
Yum.
Yeah.
Don't go on the water room rail flavor?
room where the rail flavor is.
Yeah.
I've seen what people do on that rail.
I don't even want to go into the water room, let alone touch the rail.
Well, anyway, there you go then.
So I guess these are, oh, there's some stuff as text as Japanese, post a couple
screen caps on TMS yesterday in the Discord.
Oh, Stigma said it translated the text as Japanese.
If it isn't, the characters are throwing me because they look very different than
traditional
Japanese.
The Japanese,
like I say,
kanji,
from what I
remember,
kanji's very simple.
I'm trying to
do this outbreaking
because yesterday
when I opened up
the package,
there was a breakage.
And I don't want
breakage.
I can't have that.
Because what I'd
like to do is
pull this apart
and just see how well
the two flavor
pads.
Well, you can do
like I did
and accidentally
tear the rear thing off.
Damn it.
Oh, geez,
there you go.
Yeah, so here you go.
There's a little pink and a little green right there.
Okay.
So we, oh, yeah, we're doing the.
There's a peach side and a grape side.
It's peach and grape.
Hoo.
I smell, I smell nerds.
Yeah.
Yeah, totally.
Like the candy nerds.
Like, yeah, candy nerds.
Oh, who is it the thing they're doing a, oh, Andy Cohen is doing a nerds.
A nerds ad for the Super Bowl.
Nerds.
For nerds the candy?
The candy.
Wow.
Have you ever seen an ad for nerds?
No.
I mean, when I was a lot younger, maybe.
Yeah, maybe.
Saturday morning cartoon.
Yeah, something in between G.I. Joe and whatever else was on.
But I don't remember, yeah, as a Super Bowl ad,
are we trying to bring those back in a big way or something?
What Skiddle's going to do in response?
I don't know.
Oh, we guess it's an anniversary.
Here you go.
There's a, if you want to see a little tease.
Oh, the smell.
This is, I love this smell.
Yeah, the smell is good.
I mean, it's the smell of, you know,
It's the smell of a diabetic, but it smells great.
Oh.
Mm.
Anyway, yeah, send me a thing.
You got a thing?
Here you go.
I've got a thing.
Here's a tease to the Super Bowl ad starring Andy Cohen,
who's busy taking a break from all the Real Housewives reunion.
Well, he must be tired, you know.
He's got a great.
Oh, and there's some audio, I think.
Maybe.
No, it's always a good time.
Hey, bud.
No, it's always a good time.
Why is he wobbly?
I don't know.
Sorry, it's my taste, bud.
You got news?
Oh, that's juicy.
Oh, I hate it.
I really hate it.
I know.
I think that's bad.
That's really bad, yeah.
That poor Andy Cohen.
Come on, man.
Dude.
All right.
Let's eat some more.
All right.
All right, here we go.
Oh, there.
Tastes like it smells.
Try and bite it across.
Yeah, it totally does.
Oh, okay, it's weird.
It's not as strong as the smell.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-mm.
No.
Still less sweet.
That's weird.
That's so weird.
It doesn't, it tastes like unsweetened almost.
Like, yeah, yeah.
Like, hey, you're the diet versions.
They're not, but.
It's like Oreo Zero.
Yeah, Oreo Zero.
Zero.
Oh, we did it same time.
Hold on a second.
Is there a way to see calories per cookie?
Are they different than ours?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, this says, let's see, 90 per package, I think.
It's on the back of the box, yeah.
90 per package, so it's same, I think.
Mm-hmm.
Oreos, I think, are 50 per cookie.
Oh, so this is less per cookie.
Domestic Oreos, I think.
That was a New York Times question.
Because Oreo is, you know,
is one of those words that the New York Times falls back on a lot.
Oh, yeah?
New York Times crossword.
So people are always trying to come up with new ways of cluing the word Oreo like
cookie that contains, that, that prints its name on the side.
And Cookie, whose name begins and ends with the same letter.
And one of them this week, Tuesday maybe, was 50 calorie popular, popular, popular.
a regular 50 calorie cookie or something like that.
Oh my gosh.
That feels too easy.
You know, I'd know that.
You could walk down the street and go,
cookie, 50, and I'd go, Oreo.
Really?
Yeah.
I don't know why.
To me, that makes sense.
Single cookie, 50 calories.
I don't know.
Sounds right.
Yeah.
So if these are 90, that means they're only,
help me with the math.
It's a 10, 50, 45 each.
45 each.
Is that right, 90 per pack?
Yeah, 90 per package. So we're shaving five calories per cooking.
It's kind of funny. It seemed like a lot better before we did the math. It's like,
oh, it's only five. Yeah. Oh, here it is. Yeah, cookie containing about 50 calories was the,
was the clue on the 20, oh, January 28th. It was yesterday's New York Times crossword puzzle.
You know, the easy Tuesday one.
It could be the, what's the competitor, the Oreo beef in the market back in the day?
It was Hydrox.
Hydrox.
Hail Hydrox.
Could be a Hydrox.
Could be one of them
Walmart branded ones.
They're all about 50.
I mean,
Chips Ahoy,
probably more than 50 calories per cookie,
I'm guessing.
Yeah.
By the way,
so you just brought that up.
I'm glad you did.
Yeah.
I always thought,
I was so embarrassed the other day
because somebody in the store
corrected me,
and I've never been corrected
by a store person before.
But I saw a bag of,
they're called Chip Ahoy's.
I don't say that.
Chips Ahoey.
No, I say Chips Ahoey like you.
I have always said Chips Ahoey.
What?
And I saw this.
And the reason I saw, the reason this came up is because I was talking about Jerry Seinfeld's dad.
Yeah.
Saying it wrong.
Because when he was on the show, he'd go, I'd love a good Chip Ahoie.
And I went, oh, that's a funny, dumb way to say that.
That's wrong, of course.
No, he's saying it right.
I'm going to put a picture in the chat, or on the chat in our Discord.
It's Chips Aoy.
It is Chips Ahoie.
Hold on.
It's Chips Ahoie.
What did I see?
I don't know.
I'd love to know if you found a bag that said Chip-A-hoes, dude, you should buy it.
Maybe it was just a sign or something.
Or did I...
That lady said Chip-A-Hoy.
It's Chip-A-hoi.
And then I looked at the thing.
Maybe I just, maybe she...
Speaking of witches, maybe she played a trick on me.
Hold on.
Yeah, it's chips.
Ahoy.
Yeah.
Chips aoy.
All right.
Like AirPods Pro.
Yeah.
I mean, that makes sense, right?
All right.
So I can go back to what I thought, which is it's funny that Jerry's dad said chip-ahoy and he was wrong.
Chip-ahoy.
Yes, right.
You could go back to think of that.
He's the sensibly correct.
I thought it was a Mandela.
It's like reverse Mandela effect.
The hell.
I learned a thing from one of my passengers the other day.
She was talking about because I picked her up from work.
And she's like, that's why you picked me up in the parking lot because as soon as I got the go ahead to get out of the building, it was assholes and elbows.
Oh, I haven't heard that in a while.
But you've heard it, you know where you've heard it.
Aliens, right?
Aliens, right.
Yeah, Mepone or whatever his name is says, all right, everybody, you know, assholes and elbows.
And I never thought about it until she described it or until she said that.
It's like, oh, when somebody is taken off away from you, going away from you and doing their thing,
all you see from them is their asshole and elbows.
Oh, that's what that is.
You're seeing them from the back.
It's like, all right, assholes and elbows.
In other words, I want you at your bungs, doing your going off and doing your thing.
Yeah.
That's all I want to see of you.
Yeah.
Exactly.
I always just, I think I conflate it with like crammed or busy.
Yeah, or just like, you know, get all the parts of you out and start working them.
Yeah.
Yeah, go all out.
Everything from your elbows to your buttholes.
That one can't be taken out of context.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
No, I've never really thought about it.
I mean, I love the stuff that guy said.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
When he said stow that shit, Hudson.
I think I know what he meant.
Yeah, that was pretty self-explanatory.
But that's great.
Yeah, I'd never thought about that phrase like,
Oh, well, that totally makes sense.
Like, if you're walking away from, if you're running away from somebody,
all they see of you is asshole and elbows.
And it must have been a phrase prior to all this,
but the only time I've ever heard it is from aliens.
It's from aliens.
Yeah.
No other part of my life.
Yeah.
It's a military term.
Okay.
Well, that makes sense.
He's like a sergeant with a cigar.
He's a military dude.
Yeah.
Smoking cigars in the far flung future.
Vietnam era Marine slang phrase.
Good Lord.
Yep.
That sounds right.
That sounds Vietnam to me.
Other quick note before we get a news story or two in here.
At 4 a.m., you know my truck guy, my truck neighbor that turns his car on up four and warms it up before he leaves?
I told you about that?
Yeah.
Okay.
That guy.
He's out there at 4 a.m.
Huffing, right?
Isn't that what they call that where you just turn on your vehicle, you leave it, you go inside and make your cup of coffee or something for the road?
Is he out there with it or does he just leave?
Well, usually he leaves it, goes inside like you're saying.
I never heard huffing before.
that. But if he's, so usually he comes out, starts it or does it remotely. I don't know. It's a
newer truck, but it's diesel and it needs to warm up in the in cold weather. I guess. I don't know
how those work. But he does. That's what he does. So I assume that's what he's doing. And he goes back
inside usually and it's out there just going, oh, la la la la, until he decides to leave. And sometimes it
takes longer than it should and it's freaking annoying and it wakes me up. Well, this time, I hear it
and it's just sitting there doing what it does.
And then I hear him out there by the truck, not in the cab, outside the truck, outside, I could tell.
He's rapping.
He's going, oh, it's him.
That's him in the car making that noise.
Yeah, he's outside.
He's outside the car, so I can hear him.
He's not in the cab, but I can hear him just over the engine going, he's like doing a whole, he's rapping.
I don't know what lyrics or what rap song it was.
But he was, as I put in the notes, dropping fat licks outside.
You guys, yeah, like that.
Puffing, by the way.
I have it wrong.
It's puffing, okay.
Yeah.
Whichever, it's one of those things that a big bad wolf uses to blow down a house.
It's either huffing or puffing.
Right.
I wonder if huffing or puffing is more effective at blowing down a pig's house.
You, uh, well, yeah, that's a good question.
The puffing would be the exhalation there, right?
The huffing is inhalating.
I would assume huffing is like you're huffing on glue, right?
Yeah, right.
Huffing spray paint and stuff like that.
When they've said that in the fairy tale, what they're saying is he's going,
he's inhaling and exhaling.
Which doesn't sound.
Inhale and exhale and blow your house down.
Yeah.
See, that doesn't roll off the tongue like the other.
No, huffing and puffing.
Now I understand why they did what they did.
But yeah, I don't know what that was about.
Huffington puffing.
But he kept doing it and it went on for a while.
I was probably maybe five minutes, but it felt like a long time.
and he's going and I kept nudging.
I'm like, Kim, you heard this?
She was asleep.
She didn't hear it.
And he's going,
I don't know,
how to hear and air,
and I thought,
well, that sounds like that
Batman thing.
I wasn't like that.
But anyway,
it was just like random rhyming.
Like he was hearing music,
but by the way,
I heard no beat or music.
So this is all in his head.
Or the music was lower than...
Could be.
Volume.
Or maybe had AirPods in or something.
Totally could be him with earbuds.
I mean, all these scenarios.
Second reference to AirPods.
For those keeping track.
Yeah.
Tim Apple.
We're thinking of you, buddy.
We're thinking of you, Tim.
Apple.
But when he finally left,
so he's going on long enough,
I went,
why am I not recording this?
This is a show goal,
but it's like four in the morning
and I'm a little bleary,
and I'm like,
where the hell's the...
I'm like, I can't turn the light,
I'm going to wake him up.
So I'm fumbling for my phone,
doing all this stuff,
finally get it,
get it up to the thing,
silence,
except for...
Blah, blah,
and then he left.
Oh, bummer.
I'm on the,
I'm on the alert,
though I'm gonna watch.
Yeah, good.
See if you can get it tomorrow for sure.
I would love to catch him doing that.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
It was great.
So congratulations to him and his rap career.
It's taken off like that.
Guys, it's time for some.
And don't puff your car.
It's probably illegal in whatever state you live in.
Yeah, don't puff it.
And also don't huff it.
And don't huff it.
Or actually don't puff it so we don't have to huff it.
That's right.
People constantly, when I go to the Panera to get my coffee,
every day somebody is, is, they leave their car running while they go in and get their coffee.
or whatever. And I just want to
get in their car and move it to another part of the parking lot
so they freak out. Yeah, I think it got stolen.
Because that in some neighborhoods, that will happen
if you leave it on dummies.
Totally will. That's the main reason
that they make it illegals because it leads to car theft.
Yeah, plus it stinks, plus depends on the car.
But like this guy's diesel, freaking,
that thing is definitely puffing. Oh, it's definitely
poofing out some fumes. Yeah. It's a nice
new truck, but I think they're not that efficient.
on that side of it.
So I don't know.
Yeah.
Guys, time for the news.
Let's tuck in for some.
Brought to you by.
Brought you by Coverville today.
Right after TMS,
we're going to be doing that business.
Celebrating the 75th birthday
of a Mr.
Phil Collins.
Yes, Mr. Phil Collins,
celebrating the 70th birthday.
The guy is suffering some unfortunate health issues right now.
However,
he said that he's actually got some unfinished
and finished music
that he wants to read.
release. So maybe we'll see some new stuff from Phil Collins soon. But of course you're going to get
covers of in the air tonight, Suez Studio, one more night, some of his duets like Against All Odds
and Separate Lives. I guess Against All Odds was not a duet, but separate lives was from
Oh, that's funny. My brain just agreed with the duet because I thought it was. What is it? Yeah. He's on
his own in that song? He's on his own against all odds. He's coming back to me is against the
And it's what I gotta take.
There's no lady coming in.
You're right.
There's no lady, yeah.
But it feels like it should be.
Like, it's one of those like,
Love Lifter's up where we blow.
Yeah, totally, dude.
That's it.
That's the vibe.
Plus some Genesis stuff,
a double shot of Ninja Sex Party,
another day in paradise,
that Tarzan song.
Oh, I love Tarzan soundtrack.
I love it.
You'll be in my heart.
You'll be in my heart.
It's not my favorite song on there.
But the rest of that album, pretty good.
It's pretty good.
Easy lover.
Yes.
Another duet,
Gems and Nixel.
Anyway, that's coming up today,
right after TMS on at twitch.tv.
coma.
You don't even have to leave Twitch.
You can stay in Twitch now.
Yeah, just stay on Twitch.
Move over to the cover little URL.
You'll probably see it blinking on the side anyway
because I follow Brian.
Yep.
Let's do it.
In fact, you know what?
We'll do a raid today.
Oh, right?
Well, that means I have to be ready.
I guess I could be ready.
I could be ready.
You could do a little long pre-show or something.
I could do a long pre-show. Yeah, that's true.
All right.
Let's do it.
Those are always fun.
I like those.
Don't get to do them enough.
Love it.
Love the idea.
I'll put it in our ending deal.
Dillio.
Dio.
Outro.
I like it.
All right, guys, time for a little bit of news.
Let me just real quickly give my sister a link because I don't know if she has the latest.
There it is.
All right.
Okay.
Let's start with this story.
Two men detained in China.
China.
China.
It's a long story, guys.
Go back and listen old shows.
You think we're making fun.
of the like Chinese accent, we're not.
No, we're making about the president.
Yeah.
Dumb way he says, China.
China.
You can't say it normal.
Nope.
I think it's because he really wants to say it in the most racist way possible.
Well, he's a little bit better with that one than he is with.
Aberbaja.
Otto.
Rico.
Why does he do that?
Uzbekistan.
I like the better when he had a few smart people around him.
All right, anyway.
Two men have been detained in China for claiming male giant pandas
had successfully mated with each other.
Life finds a way.
Yeah.
I don't know why you detain.
Even if they're lying out of their face, it's a weird thing.
Well, it's China.
Maybe they detain everybody for stuff they don't like.
Yeah.
It is funny that they detained them.
Yeah.
Like, hey, I think these two male pandas had a baby.
Get in here.
You're in jail.
That's right.
Chinese authorities have detained two men
for allegedly spreading false information
claiming that two male giant pandas
had successfully mated in the wild
according to the police report.
Authority said they opened an investigation
after receiving reports that online accounts were circulating
a fake screenshot about the city
of Shenzhou
I think is right.
Chinese media reported citing a statement from the
Xenju public security bureau.
I guess I kind of do this, don't I?
When I get to a hard
foreign name.
That's true.
Chengdu.
Yeah.
he's just like us.
No, he's not.
The image carried the headline, Chenju, two male Sejuan, Sichuan, Sichuan, Giant Pandas.
Sichuan.
Is that right? Sichuan?
Yeah, it's not Setshwan, but it's Sichuan.
I do feel like I'm ordering something, though, though, when I say.
Yeah, so I'll take the Seshwan Panda, please.
Yeah, you have the panda.
How spicy is that?
Yeah, what sauce is that again?
It's got, it's only got one fire.
Is it really spicy?
Because there's some other things on the menu that have three fires.
Yeah, I don't want, I hate the fire symbols.
They're never accurate.
This Thai place we go to, they're always like, oh, yeah, that one's okay.
And I'm like, it says one fire compared to the five fire.
So that should be your lowest fire, right?
Oh, yeah, you'd be fine.
No, the thing's on, it's like the spiciest thing ever ate.
All of a sudden, I am seeing the inside of my face.
Yeah.
This thing is so hot.
Yeah, my cochlea or whatever it's called is burning in the next morning.
Anyway, that's a call, what's the bird thing?
Coakly, no.
You're, uh, co.
Oh.
what is that?
Cochlea.
No.
No, that's in your ears.
Cloaca, Cloaca. Cloaca. There we go.
TRPW, I beat you to it.
He did. I can vouch for that.
Just took me a sec.
Where were we here?
Oh, yeah. And the image carried that
headline, said these two giant pandas successfully mate in the wild for the first time.
The men identified police by their surnames, Dong, age 29, and Lianning, oh, of Lianning
private, sorry, and Gao or Gao.
Gow, age 33.
Dong and Gow on the run, man.
So I'm not fully opposed to people getting punished for spreading fake, for creating and spreading fake news.
Detaining, okay, you know what, maybe, maybe you only can do it once if you get detained.
But, you know, maybe some people here in America could learn a little bit of a lesson about creating and spreading.
fake news. Yeah. It's a slippery slope, obviously, but I think I would like more. There needs to be more
ways to humiliate and make their lives harder or something. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we don't need to,
you know, cane them. No. You know what? I got that, but here's the perfect answer. We already have
this tool and we just don't use it because billionaires don't give a shit. But all of these platforms
are owned by companies who are founded by individuals who could easily say our policy is
to have zero toleration for fake fake news, fake images,
you could just have that rule and enforce it
and you might have some false positives.
I mean, it's always complicated.
But you could do that and try to do more to do that
than they do now.
But none of them do because this limits their ability
to make money and advertise to you.
So why would they do that?
So we have the tools in society to do it.
They have chosen darkness is what they've chosen.
And you have to,
The tricky part is you have to prove they knowingly, knowing that it was fake news, spread it.
And because it's so easy for somebody to say, oh, I didn't know that was fake.
I just, I saw it somewhere else.
I copied and pasted it here.
I didn't know it was fake.
Yeah, you'd need the creators of the content.
You'd need the, right, exactly.
You've got to do some digging.
Yeah, it needs a superpower.
Somebody needs a superpower where their entire superpower is to be able to pinpoint who made the shit.
Mm-hmm.
I'd like that superpower.
And then you get your friend who has superpower invisibility.
And then the invisibility guy, he comes around and he just unplugs the dude's internet and he never understands why his internet's down.
That's because the invisible guy is always sniffing it.
Right. See, I love it.
This is great.
We brought us something.
Yeah, I think we can make all this work and happen.
Yeah.
A man also in the news for successfully registering a potato as a silencer for a gun.
Nice.
That's a thing.
T-A-T-E-O-1 or Tate-001 is the official serial number of what appears to be the first legally registered 9-millimeter potato silencer,
according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives, the ATF.
When they had the E on there.
Explosives.
I mean, I guess it makes sense, right?
Here were all these explosives that didn't have a place to go on the ATF set.
I will take you.
Yeah, we'll just put an E.
But they're not using the E, though.
It bugs me.
This should be the ATFE.
Yeah.
If you're going to be, you're going to change stuff like Department of War.
Right, exactly.
Like, do this too.
Anyway, they obtained this by the reload, which is a magazine or some kind of website.
I don't know what it is.
Okay.
Guy's name is Zach Clark.
He said he pulled off the feet as an act of defiance against the NFA or the National
Firearms Act.
It's a good way to highlight to normal people that like, yeah, this is dumb.
He told Reload.
this whole law is kind of dumb.
Yeah, I don't think you should be able to take a potato and successfully registered as a silencer.
But I do want to see James Bond run around with a 9mm with a potato on the end of it.
I do want to see that.
Sure. Pops and recline has the right idea.
Rearranged the order so that it's firearms, alcohol, tobacco, and explosives and make it fate.
The fate department.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah, I like that.
Well, I have someone else to hate and easily say.
Right, exactly.
Government agencies we don't like.
Yeah, it's a weird thing to be able to pull off, but he did.
And he was trying to make a point.
I've seen enough action films.
Can I register a pillow as a silencer?
Probably.
I mean, based on this, it's anything that deadens the sound of a gun.
Sure. Yeah.
I could shove it up this.
shove it up this freaking Avon pipe cowboy
and call it a silencer.
You could.
By the way, this is not smelling any better
as time goes on.
Oh, sure.
It's so rancid.
It's from the 70s, so.
See, I like the smell of pipe smoke,
but you're smelling the wrong end.
That's not where the smoke comes out.
Well, it's all, it's not a real pipe, though.
I showed you these.
Didn't I show you this?
You did.
Well, you showed me the Lincoln head deal.
Yeah.
It's just a,
It's just a thing that carries.
That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's just an Avon deal.
And so the whole, the whole pipe end has the smell of this terrible rancid 70s.
That perfume or cologne or whatever it is. That's right. Okay.
Really, really dumb.
Let's see. What else we got here?
Oh, I wanted to read this part.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives informed NSF.
So who's that?
that is uh that was earlier in the thing um not the national right no there's no rifle in there
uh it's not the nr a um i take that back i thought nssf was earlier in the thing but i guess not
oh national shooting sports foundation oh there it is okay they just didn't uh yeah yeah you go out
and you do your your sports with your guns they just didn't put the parenthetical nsssf after that okay
Dumbasses.
Let's see.
On Thursday, January 1st,
2026 this year,
alone and unprecedented surge
in e-form submissions were processed.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation,
the gun industry's trade group said last week,
that total was approximately
150,000 e-forms for an eye-popping
comparison last year ahead of
the $200 to
zero tax change.
Typically daily volume on e-form suppressors
were closer to about 2,500.
Wow. So more people are registering
guns. Yeah, because it's a shitty law. Yeah. Shitty. Go change that. That should be a sign that you
screwed up. Well, I mean, you know what? Let people, no, I mean, we want people to register their,
their guns. That's actually true. We want more of that. But yeah, it also proliferation wise,
I don't know if it's good. Maybe it's okay. It's the fact that there are that many guns out there
is a little unnerving. Yeah, I don't like it. I guess it's more of that than the, uh,
I tell people I'm packing heat, but it's just a, it's just hot sauce in my pocket.
Don't tell anyone.
It's just a leftover Diablo packet from Taco Bell.
Yeah, yeah.
I always keep one handy just in case, you know, emergencies or whatever.
All right, guys, that's all the news for today.
Now we swing the microphone over to this.
Something wrong, Batman.
Has anybody seen Wendy?
I have, pretty recently, in fact, but she's home now.
Hi, Wendy.
I am.
Hi.
Hi.
How's it filled to be back in Minnesota today?
How are you doing over there?
Oh, it's not weird at all.
No, it's all fine there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What a great, happy, fun state you live in right now.
All I know is, you know, you go, you leave Utah, you go to Vermont.
Nothing happened.
All right.
You're just fine.
Then you go back here and then you go to Sweden.
It's all good.
Have a great time in Sweden.
Come back here.
And then the universe says, oh, you're moving again, are you?
And you say, yep, we're going to Minnesota this time.
And then Minnesota says, oh, hello, Wendy.
You know, we'd like to be the center of some history.
and we'll do it a couple times.
Yeah, why not?
And Colorado's watching you guys like,
all right, well, let's be ready because it could happen here.
Yeah, buckle up, Colorado.
Yeah, any of you guys that voted blue, it appears to be the reasoning.
So good luck to.
Well, I mean, and never, never, never went red for any president ever.
Yeah, that's true.
So there's that.
I do have to say this.
If people would read history, they might know a few things about,
trying to do something
fight people
who are winter people
in the winter
so look up the
100,000 fins
versus the million Russians
yeah
and look who won that
and look at what the Nazis
thought I'm going to go
get the Russians in winter
it just does not
sure
we don't even need hats
no right
no you people are
you get home field advantage
it's nice
it's insane
there's such a sound it's almost like no one knows anything that they're doing is that that
crazy is it okay if i share you know that excerpt you gave me from that Atlantic article can i share that
to the chat or something guys okay i'm gonna put a link in the chat i'm not gonna read it here but um
there it is it's just a screen cap of what wendy sent me it's very very good that thing really good for me
yeah and let me say this because when people don't know anyone from here they're just like whoa
it's crazy and i'm just let me just give you a couple of
quick facts. When George Floyd was murdered here, right? You had some organizing that happened.
First of all, this is Lutheran country. And if you've never been to a potluck, you do not know
the power of Lutheran's organizing. And so it happened after George Floyd. There was just
tons of neighborhood communal kinds of responses, right? Every neighbor got each other's phone number,
right? Like it started then. And there was a lot of, during the pandemic, especially, right?
a lot of a connection.
And so this isn't like this just started January 5th or something.
This is like years of building just pretty strong networks, very, very local, right?
Yeah.
And pretty diverse neighborhoods.
So you have a lot of people who, because their skin is white, don't feel as threatened,
can do all these things for their neighbors in some just like a really amazing way.
So it is that stuff you maybe get to see a little on social media,
but you're never going to hear about on the news.
It's just the level of these are cold people in winter who are fiercely.
I mean, they're shoveling each other's walks as a competitive sport without talking.
Yeah.
They will do what you're seeing them do.
Like, it's really pretty inspiring and cool.
Yeah, it was very cool.
We felt lucky to have you here for a hot minute while, you know, stuff was going down.
So much was going down while you're here.
But it was still nice.
having you here, despite the reasons you were here.
Anyway, it all went great, and I'm glad you're home safe.
We're going to dive into a fairly difficult topic today.
Yeah, let's do it.
You know what's going on right now?
Everything's difficult, so let's do it.
Yeah, let's why not?
It's shy away.
It's winter.
We dive into this business.
All right, here it is.
I'm going to read this.
This is from someone who's going to remain anonymous.
And the subject of it is moving forward after a lifelong betrayal from a friend.
Hello, Wendy Scott and Brian in late 2025, my best friend of 30 years.
was arrested in charge with first degree criminal sexual conduct and possession of child abuse
material. He has been in jail since his arrest and is facing a minimum 12-year sentence. I discovered
the charges about a week after they occurred and even two months later, the news hit me just as hard
as the day I found out. It simply doesn't feel real. I'm struggling with the realization that
the person I thought I knew doesn't actually exist. We've been friends since middle school. He was my best
man and I was his. We were roommates after high school and shared countless road trips
across the country. So much of my personal history is tied to this individual yet never showed
any signs of being capable of such heinous acts. The details of his crimes are so severe that I
cannot have him in my life anymore, but I don't know how to move forward. I've noticed my anger
growing substantially as time goes on. How do I start to let go of the friendship I thought I had
and reconcile my memories with this reality? I want to move on, but I don't know how to navigate
at the loss of a lifelong bond that was apparently built on a lie.
Yours anonymous.
Narnly.
That's hardcore.
I wouldn't even know what to start to say.
So, Wendy, what do you tell somebody who feels this level of betrayal from somebody they thought they knew so long?
Yeah.
And the really, like, the toughest part here, too, is this, you have all the other sides of this.
person, right? 30 years is a long time. To know somebody, to think you know somebody, and you know a lot,
you do. And so what's happened is you're losing all those other parts because of this one part
you didn't know about. And that was obviously kept secret and was, you know, very shameful. And,
you know, you would never get to know until it all fell apart. So it's a massive loss. It's like losing
it's like losing someone you really care about at the same time feeling super
like tricked and betrayed and it's a lot that's a lot of feelings and you don't start asking
yourself like how come I didn't notice this or why could I have done something to intervene?
Yeah it's crazy or maybe even looking back at things that you're like oh I overlooked that that can
happen to where you're like oh they did say this thing was this a sign or was this yeah yeah and feeling
responsible or you can have all sorts of, um, survivor's guilt might be like a, maybe quite the wrong,
not quite the right term, but similar idea of like, I could have maybe known or done something or
helped him or, you know, you're going to go through a bunch of different phases here, because this
at its core is, is really complicated grief, right? If, if this person had just passed away,
then you would be able to grieve and do all the, the nice parts of things, right?
And you would be sad and it would be really hard.
But this isn't clean.
It's not which, which, you know, everybody is nuanced and you don't know everything about everyone,
but this one is really obvious, right?
Now we, he's in jail.
He's going to serve 12 years at least.
That is a really, this is a really big deal.
So I wanted to just start with like the compassion for how hard that is.
This is so difficult.
So everyone think of your favorite person and then imagine this happening, right?
someone who's known you since you were a kid has been in your life over it over you know through
everything it's a it's a massive loss and so my recommendation would be to start with the
grieving process and don't try to do anything after that like don't plan anything after that
sometimes people would like to jump to well then I'll never have to talk to him again or he's
dead to me or they sort of feel like they can put a period at the end of something because it's so
awful and that is a way to try to control something that feels so out of their control and hurt.
But I would recommend going through it as opposed to trying to jump over it a little bit.
That's a tendency, I think sometimes that can happen.
Obviously, I would have to talk to this person to know where they're at.
But giving some effort to processing this.
This is why often people will reach out and find a therapist even just temporarily, like a quick.
So it's a very neutral person, right, who does not also remember your best friend of 30 years, wasn't at your wedding, also has their own response.
Because everyone has their own set of things they bring to this response.
Are you triggered for various reasons or, you know, and you end up having maybe sitting around
and part of the grieving would be being angry at it together or, you know, so maybe there's value
in that.
So there's value in this sort of the neutral person to help you process this grief.
And then there's also the value in talking with someone who gets it and knows them, you know,
maybe to some extent.
In the end of that isn't the solution only is to freak out.
out together forever, right? It will, it'll, you know, sort of play out. So what's interesting,
this was the end of 2025, right? So, and we got this email, I think, pretty close to the end of
December. But even just a month into the new year, like as any of this shifted, if, and this is where I
always sort of check with people where the stuck parts are. Like, are we moving from anger and
disbelief and bargaining and, you know, all the different stages of grief. Are we moving between
those? Are we finding that we cannot leave anger? Like, we have nothing but the anger or we have
nothing but the bargaining stage where it just can't be real and our brain can't quite
accept that it's happened kind of things. And so when anyone's stuck, that's usually what I
suggest getting someone trained in grief work. Because this is also very traumatizing.
right so someone who sort of knows how these things work together as a place to start to process to
help it move through um if he is you know feeling like he is working on that and it's he's grieving
and it comes and goes and you know there's there's various stages you know that's pretty normal
and pretty healthy um and the goal eventually in in all of us and time helps with this so some of
this might just take time and it might take a couple years this isn't like you know you're
have another experience when he's released if that also happens right so this is a huge part of your
life this is like having a family member in that same situation right and so to to be super gentle
with yourself as you go through this and honor that you need some things here because you should be
angry at times and you should be missing your friend at times right there's going to be some really
confusing ups and down so to get support
and allow the feelings to come because they will come and go, they will change,
is the healthy process.
I mean, I know sometimes people are like, really?
Is this how it has to work?
And it's like, I don't know any other way.
But through.
And through is allowing the feelings to be there and not be there.
And you might have, you know, a lot of people will take their grief and they'll take
whatever heinous thing has happened to them and the loss they've experienced.
and they put it into some type of service organization or, you know, donate their time or money
or create a program to benefit other people.
Channel it into something positive, yeah.
And that is really a valuable thing that people can do.
But sometimes when it's like this, it's like the ick factor is super high.
And you're sort of where do I put some of this energy?
How do I help others?
And so there's ways to figure that out.
or if it's not here, maybe it's somewhere else that is not as related,
but that is creating meaning and connection.
But this is really like the loss of a 30-year-old friendship and a death of what was.
And not to say what it will be because it could change and, you know,
time is going to do some things for everybody.
But it's really hard.
What if they, what if, I'm not saying this will happen,
but I assume in some situations like this, it might.
But the person, the perpetrator of the, of the office,
Uh, you know, is maybe even while they're serving time or, you know, they're whatever,
whatever stage they're at and they, they send a letter saying, you know, this is all on me.
This was never, you know, yeah, like a 12 step program kind of thing.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, exactly. There may be something like that in the, in the treatment. I don't know.
But that sort of thing for him, for our writer, seems like there's some catharsis in just knowing that this person
is fully acknowledging and being responsible for their terrible deeds.
Is there something in that for them to look forward to?
I guess we can't,
we can't say that until he sends a letter.
It's not like we guarantee that he's going to get a letter.
But you know what I mean?
Sure.
It seems like that would help.
Yeah, no.
And there will be lots of things along the way that are both helpful and harmful.
So maybe it's that this friend takes full responsibility and changes and does the work
that is going to be required to be released and, you know,
and then come out and not reoffend.
And, you know, this is, this is for the rest of this person's life on their record.
And they're not allowed to be around schools and certain places.
And, you know, there's going to be a lot that this person will pay for for a long,
long time.
And so that might feel good.
Like, yes, I need there to be some punishment.
There might also be, this is hard to see, to see them punish so much.
So it really depends on the person, right?
Whatever D is sort of going through is going to be a little more specific to them.
But also, you know, what's common is that there's a move towards healing and forgiveness with a little F.
Okay.
Let's be clear, this isn't some kind of religious forgiveness where it's,
the stereotype is just like you're, you know, the superhuman ability to be like, and I forgive you.
It's not what I'm talking about.
More like, I mean, that's fine if that's his experience.
But it's more like the finding peace, like doing the grieving and coming to the acceptance piece, which is that last stage of grief.
And finding some peace there.
And it may, it may look like understanding this friend.
and, you know, feeling some, you know, forgiveness for basically deceiving him in this way.
Most of us don't walk around knowing our friend's sexual activity, right?
That's not very common.
And so, you know, most of us are in this exact boat until we find out this person has done a thing, right?
We don't know.
And most people aren't doing the illegal things.
But there are plenty of people doing it.
So, you know, none of us are above something this horrific happening to us, which is really sad and scary.
And yet, it's a bunch of people who might have really regular normal lives and are your best man and your roommate and your friend.
And they have, you know, if this was gambling, let's say.
Like, let's say this person said, found out they were, you know, robin orphanages with their gambling compulsion or something.
something, right? Like they're harming people with their gambling. There's less ick there,
but it is the same trap of someone that being trapped in a, yeah, and a behavioral addiction
that goes so far south and wrong and harms other people. And so sometimes understanding
that about that, not in the first stages of grief, usually. It's usually much later
can be really healing for someone to help them move forward.
And so when I say forgiveness with the little F,
what I mean is the finding peace in yourself,
not necessarily that you're,
you don't have to do anything with anyone else.
They don't ever even need to know that you've healed your own heart
and gone through your own grief.
Sometimes, I mean, I think we hear about the stories of like in the courtroom,
the murderers being forgiven by the mother, you know, or whatever.
And those are exceptional stories.
And that's why we pay so much attention to them because it kind of blows our minds.
But there is something sort of smaller than that that is really important.
And that is your own processing, your own healing, your own giving yourself space.
And you might have the feeling of like, okay, I need to move on or why is this still bothering me?
You know, whenever there's the stuck stuff, that's always a clue.
tell my clients that, like, if anything's feeling sticky, anything's cluing you in that we're not
quite moving forward in life, there's something to give attention. And this is just an absolute
breakdown of how you thought the world was working, you know, and how that is incredibly
difficult to deal with. So all the time and grace to figure that out, but also don't stay stuck. A lot of
folks will just stay stuck because they don't realize they need to process and that they can get help
doing that.
Yeah.
And then there's this rollover effect, I would think, for some where you would be like,
how many of my other friends are hiding stuff I don't know about or.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
If I miss this one, what else am I missing about everybody else?
Yeah.
It's a real betrayal.
All right.
Well, please let us know how things go.
It might be some time before we hear back from this person, but we're glad to have tackled
that for you.
Speaking of tackling things, there's a website called no better you.com.
Wendy, is there anything there?
People should tackle right now.
Oh, yes, please.
Let's switch to a happy note.
Yeah.
Yes, we're starting class on Monday.
So go to know better you.com.
The time mastery course is open.
I'd love to have you join us.
You know, something that has been sort of running through my mind recently is just the quote.
Someone help me hear from Lord of the Rings.
Which one?
When Gandalf says, you know,
don't get to choose the time.
Oh,
a wizard arrives precisely.
No,
that's a good one now.
I love that one.
It's when he's in the thing,
he's talking to Frodo and he says,
we can only do with the time we've been given or something like that.
Yeah.
Just thinking, you know,
and then that idiot, Mary,
knocked the thing down the hall.
Which honestly,
without Mary,
Gandalf would have not ever become the white.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
So start on the way.
Yeah.
So see.
It, you got to be you.
And then, oh, man, I'm married.
He's the best character.
Okay.
But the point being, like, you know, just sort of like what I was thinking about my kids.
You know, we move here in 2018 and the pandemic hits George Floyd's murder.
And then, you know, ICE decides to occupy the city.
And it's like, hi, guys, your childhood's so fun.
Like, there's so much fun happening.
And it's their, that's their life.
They don't get to choose that history is easy.
during their time here or that they don't need to know or care, you know, like it's just the time
you're given and what are you going to do with it? So I know this sounds a little dramatic for my
plug for my time mastery class, but so often people are, feel out of control with time.
That's the one commodity we all have equally. And we also don't know when it's over.
And when it's over, it's over. And that is this kind of, I don't know, sorry to put so much weight on it,
just having a feeling of managing it well and not being so like that panicky. I'm losing time or I,
you know, I'm supposed to be doing these things and I'm not and I'm bad with this. All of that. I just
life is short enough. You know, I just want people to feel some some sense of power and control in their
own life around the one thing that is uniquely theirs and what they get to do with it. And so anyway,
The class is, it's a little more fun than I'm making it sound, I promise.
But it is timely.
So it's time.
Everyone go check it out.
No Better You.com and the course is Time Mastery.
You can see on the top link.
It's now open.
Just go read about it.
See if it's interesting to you.
We have a couple of scholarship spots available.
So just reach out to me directly if you need some financial help to do that.
Or you can do partial or something.
We want as many people who need it.
get it.
Nice.
There you have it.
And look at that picture of Wendy.
How can you deny that?
That face.
I can just say no to that face.
I can just say no.
No,
just you know,
someone has taken it.
It's a great course.
So,
get in there and get that done,
y'all.
Well,
all our best to,
yeah,
remember Brian when you and our kids,
it was like,
Ron Contra,
who cares?
I'm busy watching
back to the future
50 times over or whatever.
Right.
None of that world
didn't affect us very much.
But man,
when it's in your own backyard,
you're like, oh, hello.
A little more, yeah.
And kids, you know, see everything all the time.
It's not like they're, they don't look at a paper once a week.
Hey, by the way, if I told you one of my time mastery tools or slash sanity savers is that we take the real paper.
But I should clarify which paper it is.
We take the real onion.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
All right.
It is such a treat.
It's great.
Yeah.
100% need to do this once in your life is just subscribe to the real onion.
It is so.
Because it gets delivered to your house, right?
It's like an actual, okay.
I've always wondered about that.
It's so funny because you read it and you're like, oh, no, that's not that far from what's actually happening.
Right.
Yeah.
No, it's.
But it's very funny.
Their stuff is, there's always a little tiny bit of truth in every one of their satirical headlines.
It's so good.
So that's a recommendation.
Get the onion.
I always assumed that was.
parody too that they let you subscribe to it.
No, it's real.
That's funny.
All right.
Well, Wendy, awesome stuff.
We will see you next week with more.
Watch her as she goes, everyone.
Bye now.
All right.
Cool.
Good stuff.
No better you.com.
That's KN or KN-O-W better and then the letter you.
Dot com.
Right.
All right.
A quick bit of feedback from Christopher who sent us in.
This is about the jugs of P.
He says,
you should check out Death Road to Canada.
It is Oregon Trail with active combat with zombies.
Oh, this is the wrong tab.
I'm on the wrong tab.
I was just say, well, that's not the matter that I'm saying.
It's a totally different one.
Why is the core tab open?
Let's go over here.
Someone has got their core tab in anticipation of the show later.
Yeah, we got a little stuff.
All right, here we go.
Hey, Suds and Bruske.
That makes more sense.
That's it. For Mark.
Yes.
You guys were discussing parking hassles around the,
University of Utah and parking apps in recent episodes.
That is true. I freaking hated our parking situation when I went to that game.
Anyway, so as I just wanted to say, I've been using an app called Spot Hero for years,
and it's awesome, a lifesaver, especially when you're attending an event in a downtown or college
campus area. Love the show, though, Mark. I had never heard of Spot Hero.
We used that downtown for a mystery date, and it was cool. It was similar to what I did with
parking.com where basically you prepay for a parking spot in a one of those
outside parking lots, you know, where you've got the scan of code thing to pay for it.
And then you just pull up. You've actually already got it taken care of because it's tied to
your license plate and you're good to go.
That's super cool. And it looks like the website's also very usable.
It doesn't have to just be an app.
That's cool.
Let's see.
Let's go to Salt Lake here.
The Utah.
The Utah.
All right.
We're zooming into Salt Lake.
Let's see.
Zoomie fingers.
No results.
Come on now.
Oh, here we go.
There we do.
Zoom in far enough.
Oh, yeah.
Look at that.
So I'd go for that $9 one.
Right.
So you just figure out like, all right, where's the thing I'm going to?
Yeah.
And, uh,
42.
What are we doing up there?
Oh, that's a crock.
Yeah, that is a crook.
Like the hotel for Nurtacular.
Because some of us are going to be driving.
We'll need to, like, figure out some sort of like, all right, where, what's the cheapest place we can park?
Snowbirdhead, just free parking.
You just park in there a lot.
You're done.
Yeah.
I think you get it for, I think, uh, is it free?
I got to look into it.
If you have hotels, you're in.
I think, yeah.
I got a double check on that, but I think you're right.
Glad you said it.
I haven't ever asked.
Uh, but anyway, that's cool.
What is it called again?
Hold on. Spot hero.
Spot hero.
Sounds like a sequel to.
Or Spothero.
Spothero.
If you, uh, if you, uh,
if you don't spell it with a space in the URL.
You know, it's a good anime.
You should give it a couple seasons.
Spothero!
Anyway, thank you, Mark.
And if you would like to send in your own text,
emails, whatever, find them all at frogpants.com slash tms.
That's going to do it for the show.
Let's play a little music on our way out the door, please.
Yeah, sounds good.
Oh, um, let's see.
We could get and just pointed out tomorrow is the last Friday of the month.
I guess we're doing Playday tomorrow.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, I guess.
It's, uh, is it.
Yeah, it is.
It was the 30th.
Yeah, we're playing.
It's a play date tomorrow.
Wee.
We.
We forgot, folks.
That's great.
Yeah, thanks for the note.
Wicked Kitten.
Yeah, we will be playing that.
That's, everyone can come and watch and hang out.
We give priority to patrons for getting into the games and playing with us.
Please do because we always have fun.
And we will not have weird internet shit like I did last time.
I can promise you that.
Well, that actually means I might go get breakfast.
Tina, I might go get breakfast a place.
It's a little further.
away because I have less prep to do for the
for the show. Oh, that's a great idea.
Go for it. Go for it.
Crazy climber for those wondering
what the hell that was. I love that game. Yeah, that's such a great
game. So good. Anyway.
Cool. All right. Setting something up for the, so we can raid later
but in a few minutes here. There we go.
Okay. How about a song, Scott? You're ready for a song?
Yeah. All right. This one's going out to Shane
Maddox who had a birthday yesterday shaved madrocks whatever he goes by these days uh good morning
seather and breather it's been one year since turning the age of the answer to the ultimate
question of life the universe and everything that has also been one year since i lost my job of
nearly 14 years oh dude i didn't know that since then busting my ankle immediately before tms
clare wasn't the only one messing up my knee and stepping on a rusty nail have all occurred dude
yeah that's a lot that is a lot slow down your slow down you're slow down
turn with the phone. Maybe you walk too fast. Maybe, you know, maybe 2026 will be better for you.
All that said, I'm grateful to have recently been given the opportunity to a great contract gig for one
reason or another. Cether's Fine Again has been in my head lately just to, I just got to karaoke it.
I've searched through some covers and I think I like the version by Sandra Sabo the best from what I've
heard, but of course, completely open if the cover maestro can find a better one. See you in
Salt Lake.
Sweet.
it just like that.
Love it.
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
This is a, this is a, you know, one of Cather's lesser known hits.
It's really good, though.
It is fine again.
Now, I'm not sure if the singer, she's a YouTube artist who posted a or put together
entire album of her acoustic YouTube covers in 2015.
I don't know if she's Polish or Hungarian, which means she's either Sondra Sabaobo,
or Sandra Sabo, depending on how he's pronounced the SZ at the beginning.
everlasting.
Good catch though.
Yeah, Polish you go
and Hungarian you go so.
So.
Oh.
Sandra Shabo,
Sabo, Sabo,
Shabu, Shabu.
Here is her cover
of Seethers.
Fine again.
Like every day's the same
and I'm left
to discover
on my own.
It seems like
everything is gray
and there's no
color.
To behold, they say it's over and I'm fine again, yeah.
Try to stay sober feels like I'm dying here.
It's gonna be fine one day seems everyone's gonna be fine too late just as well.
I feel the dream in me expire and there is no one left to blame it on
I hear you label me a liar because I can't seem to get this through
you say it's over I can't sigh again
Why try to stay sober when I'm dying here?
Everything's gonna be fine one day too late
Oh seems everyone's gonna be fun
Just as well and I am not scared now
I'm must assure you
You're never gonna get away
And I am not scared now.
One day seems everyone's gonna be fine.
One day too late just as well.
And I be fine.
Myself, myself.
And I am fine again.
