The Morning Stream, one way or the other, this war ends tonight.
Hello, everybody, and welcome to TMS.
It is the morning stream for Monday, February 9th, 2026.
I'm Scott Johnson.
That's Brian Nibbitt.
Hello, Brian Nibet.
Hello, hello.
Good morning to you, my good sir.
Good morning to you, too.
Yeah, we host Super Bowl hangover day for people who drink during the Super Bowl.
I still smell like coconut shrimp and whatever else.
And hot wings, buffalo wings and pizza.
Yeah.
I mentioned Costco earlier.
Actually, that was a lie.
We went, because Costco was so busy yesterday,
which you would expect on a Super Bowl Sunday for it to just be insane.
Oh, I can't imagine.
That feels like maybe the day before Thanksgiving would be the only worst day to go to Costco than Super Bowl Sunday.
I mean, I love me at Costco, but man, it was bad.
so we decided to just go across the way to a Sam's Club, which is trying, you know,
it was basically Timu Costco.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
And man, those places are way less crowded.
Like, are they?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
They got nothing on Costco.
Is Sam's Club still membership deal?
It is.
We have one.
She has one.
She serves with her sister.
So we can always get in there if we need to.
But I mean, I'm Costco first kind of person.
I know in the South, the Costco's are less prominent.
And the Sam's Club is like the norm.
for big box.
Because it's all Walton.
It's all Walmart adjacent.
Yeah.
And they're huge down there, obviously.
So I can't really avoid it.
But yeah, we grabbed it all there.
It was fine.
And they also have a competing $1.50 hot dog deal there.
Oh, really?
Okay.
Yeah.
But basically the same exact.
Identical.
Yeah.
Like, it's a good dog, good beef dog, you know, a nice one.
The problem with the Sam's Club yesterday is they had a,
because I grab one because I just do.
This is what I do.
Sure.
Oh, well, they also still have, they carry, I will give Sam's Club this one particular thumbs up.
They still carry some kind of sourcrout option.
Oh.
Where Costco does not.
They used to have a dispenser thing.
Yeah, like that you could do, right.
It was like a weird hand, like crank thing.
Yeah, you would crank it.
Put your hot dog underneath and it would crank to dump out the, they have one for relish and one for sourcrack.
Yeah.
So they quit doing the relish.
They have relish in packets now at Costco, but they didn't do any kind of sourcrout replacement.
Okay.
But at Sam's Club, they're in these little pouches.
so they are a sealed pouch
so they're fresher.
I'm guessing there was a problem
with having like the crank machine
sit there too long or something.
I don't know.
I don't know how Sourkraut works.
We could have a German call in
and tell us how the hell that goes.
Tell us Bobbats.
Tell us how that's how.
Yeah, tell us how it works.
But so I got one of those
and the problem is all their soda machines
were down.
They all set out of order.
And so the way this works,
it's a buck fifty for a combo,
the combo being the dog and a drink.
So when I get up there,
this poor lady running
the thing. There's a decent little line there
with me in it. And everybody that came out
and says, hello, welcome.
There are no drinks today.
You're going to have to have water
or nothing. Water or nothing,
she'd say.
It sounds like the 50
DKB minus guy. Yeah, it was
a little like that. It was like
actually she kind of like Eastern
European something. I don't know.
I don't know what they call it. But she kept going,
you can't have no drinking,
only water. And they gave us water.
bottles as a replacement. It was fine. That's nice.
But apparently she'd be getting heat because the whole time she was just, okay, just so you know,
like it was a big deal that they didn't have any drinks. But it was fine. Everything went fine.
Good. I mean, where I come from, water is a drink. So.
Yeah. Yeah. Water is a drink. And it was a better for me drink, you know?
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. drank a lot of water last night. Well, we watched the game.
Speaking of which, I think we ought to see how we did, you know, on our little pickums.
Yeah.
Do I have my hand-dies?
We can zip through these real quick.
Yeah, these are very easy.
I'm going to pull up page one, Brian, and I know that some of these we've differ.
Yep, we got C-Hawks.
We got a point.
Total points under, so we got that.
It was under 45 and a half, but pretty close to it.
42, I think, was a good final.
I was getting nervous toward the end.
I was like, please don't make another stupid field goal or something.
Charlie Puth kept it under two, I kept it under two minutes.
It was by, by, you.
USA Today's announcement was something like one minute, 53 seconds or something.
Yeah.
I think it was also really nice, by the way.
It was really nice.
Yeah, I thought he could have dressed up.
Yeah, he could have maybe.
It looked like he was in high school.
Totally did.
Like, you know, maybe you could have put something else on, man.
But, all right, that's fine.
Had a pair of mom jeans on.
It's fine, no, whatever.
Let's see.
Coin toss was heads.
You got that one.
I said, I did tails just.
to make things up so we weren't always saying the same thing.
Yeah, the twist was that I guess they deferred to second half starting.
So they didn't take, or they didn't, what do you call it?
The Patriots won the toss and then said we defer to half times, whatever.
Right, exactly.
We'll start the second half with possession.
Jersey number of the first TD score was 88, so it was indeed over.
Oh, look at that.
Look at us so far.
Yeah.
This is pretty good.
Team that scored first won the game very much.
First play the game was a run.
For a score of the game, I think you got, again, I said touchdown, you said field goal safety was definitely field goal.
Yeah, I got lucky there, I think.
I feel lucky there.
Yeah, no coaches challenge.
That was another one where I'm like, you know, I'll just pick the other one just to mix it up.
No coaches challenge at all, so that one was moot.
Moot.
Both teams to score at least one rushing and passing touchdown in the game.
I think you said yes, and the answer is no, they did not.
Wait a minute.
They both score at least one rushing and one pass.
So that means...
Oh, yeah.
So that would have been two touchdowns for the Patriots.
Right.
No, they did not.
It definitely did not.
Although they got real close one time.
They did get really close.
We both said orange,
even though we both started by saying yellow green,
it turned out to be yellow green.
Yeah.
As soon as I saw that come out,
I went, damn it.
Yeah, they even showed it like on screen
that mixing up the Gatorade.
Yeah.
And Kim goes, why is it that color?
I said, because look at their uniforms.
Of course it is.
You should see there away uniforms, honey.
She was like, why?
Are they crazy?
And I showed her a picture.
She goes, those are like highlighter pens on a field.
Like pajamas.
Yeah.
So weird.
Position of the player to score the first touchdown.
It was indeed a wide receiver.
Yeah.
Will a field goal or point after hit the crossbar?
No.
No, nobody did.
First team to call a timeout.
I said Patriots.
You said, oh, you said Patriots as well.
It was the Seahawks.
Yeah.
Call the timeout.
The MVP, not since 1998, has a
running back got in the MVP, but that's exactly what happened this time.
Deserved it.
Deshawn.
However you say it.
Yeah, something.
Yeah.
It's hard.
Page, page two.
Let's go to page.
Let's see here.
It be tied after zero zero.
It never became tied.
No.
There was no tied.
Yes.
Will a touchdown be overturned via replay?
I said, yes, you said no.
No is the correct answer.
Yeah.
It was no overturned touchdown.
Final score.
Scorgami, no. Octopus, no. Overtime, no. Safety, no. Lots of nose.
Fake, fake, fake. Fake, fake.
After the opening kickoff, which animal makes an appearance in an ad? Indeed, it was a dog in the
Lays Potato Chips ad showing the younger getting a puppy and then it grows old with them as they
work on their potato farm. I made a noise when that happened. The dog showed up and I went,
yeah! My wife's like, what? I'm like, oh, it's just part of our thing. I got it right.
I didn't even think about it until afterwards.
I'm like, oh, I never even thought about what the first animal commercial was.
I did notice the first movie or the first commercial for either a movie trailer or an ad for alcohol.
That was absolutely the Mandalorian and Rogu movie, which they tried, which initially looked like an ad for alcohol, looked like a Budweiser ad.
Yeah, and they had Sam, Sam, Sam Elliott, yeah.
Sam Elliott doing the voice.
It was like, oh, here we go, clompin, Clydesdale's, no, his freaking taunt, ton,
who smell better on the inside or whatever.
It was a nice little fake out.
Which company aired their ad first?
You said liquid death.
I said he gets us.
It was liquid death.
Good job with that one.
I can't even think of ever seeing a liquid death commercial,
but it was bam, right out there quick.
Very early.
And again, that was more out of pride
for local success company,
but I got lucky on that.
I had no idea.
A number of times they showed Cardi B.
Now, she was also one of the dancers
in Bad Bunnbee.
deal.
Very brief.
I don't know how many times
they officially showed her,
but Mizzula says
it was under three and a half times.
Oh, easily.
Yeah.
I don't even think they showed
Pascal more than one quick flash.
Just one quick flash
while he was dancing on that,
on the patio of that house that he fell through.
Yeah, that was pretty cool.
A number of songs played in the halftime show,
14, which is over the 11.5 that we needed for the over.
Well, Bad Bunny Wear a dress.
or a skirt during the halftime show, we both said
yes, he did not. He didn't. He wore
a weirdo top thing and I found out
later it's because he's got a bulletproof vest
under the hat. Oh, really?
They were all kinds of threats.
Geez, I'm not surprised.
Because people are dicks. Go ahead.
People are dicks. What headwear will
Bad Bun be wearing on his head in the start of the halftime show?
Listen, they were out in the fields.
He should have been wearing a straw hat to protect
to cover his eyes to get some shade.
However, he was not wearing a hat
at all, which you got correct. Yeah, no hat.
which of the following will join bad bunny on stage during half time cardi b was the only one
in the list uh lady gaga and ricky martin were not choices to uh to pick from uh you said
chakira i said huntricks both of which were wrong yep we got that wrong i ended up with i ended up
with uh if you take the the minus one for huntricks uh i ended up with 15 i think you ended up far better
because you...
I did pretty good.
I was surprised.
As we went, I was keeping track.
I didn't do my score yet, though.
Oh, okay.
I have it all jotted down like wins losses,
but I was still a little confused about Mitzoula's scoring.
So I thought, well, you know what?
I'll wait for the show.
So I did all right, but I'm not sure of my actual...
I think you probably got like 18, 19, probably.
Something like that.
Yeah.
Feel good about it.
Yeah.
If I'd have had money on it, I would have made a dollar or two.
I don't know.
Exactly, yes.
Probably not a lot.
I'm glad we didn't do those.
Well, if I lose, I have to eat Salt Lake City.
Yeah.
We could have done something terrible to each other.
I have to eat a two meter glissy from IKEA.
We're calling that now.
We're calling them glissies.
You know, I got big thanks to J.K. Grammer, by the way.
Oh, James K. Grammer.
Loving.
Letting me know about these effers.
What?
It's Marvel Comics Oreos.
You even want to open those?
Yeah, I did.
Oh, you did?
Do you even want to?
No, I already did.
I opened. I opened.
I had two.
These are those fun little two packs, but they also have the regular packages of them and they're collectors.
So if you get the regular bags of Oreos, you know, the flats of them, they have four different outside labels that you can get.
I ordered four packages from Amazon.
on and they sent me one, two, three, and three.
Oh, man.
Dang it.
But what's cool about these is that each of the one cookie on each, like one of the two cookies on each Oreo is a Marvel superhero.
And I've eaten a Galactus and a Luke Cage.
Oh, very nice.
Yes.
The good news on that, too, is that they also stick to your, they're collect on your colon.
Yes. Yes, you can collect all 50 different heroes.
I don't know how many different faces they have on those things.
And they'll kind of just sit there.
They'll collect for real.
It'll be like a shelf of them painted minis in your guts.
Mint on colon, I think is the official designation.
Chocolate mint on colon.
Mm.
All right.
Awesome.
That is cool.
I have a quick note to make about something and then we'll move on to the proper game
that lays before us with Brian Dunaway in the Wings.
Yeah.
There's some good news on the nerdtacular front.
Oh, good.
Yes.
I know you had a meeting with the folks there, the hotel folks.
Oh, yeah, that went really well.
Oh, that's a whole side thing.
Yeah, that went, that went awesome, by the way.
Went good.
They fully get the whole international freak out that's happening right now.
So we've got some methods we're going to work through.
We're going to figure it out.
It's still all hands on deck.
But you may notice when you go to the site, a bunch of new hosts have been
put up there. Look at Brian in his blue suit. Yeah. Look at me. Tom Hare, Merritt with some
hair that he no longer has. I know. We're all picking, you know,
my hair's a little darker, yours is a little blunder. I mean, you know, these are all.
Yep. That beard I got? Boy, it was brown for a minute.
But you might notice sitting right next to me, the one, the only critical role's own,
Liam O'Brien, known for his voice actor extraordinaire career.
It comes from games like World of Warcraft. He's amazing as Ghalm and that
those Lord of the Rings games.
The Mighty Nine, of course, now on Prime,
all that stuff.
You'll see him in New Vegas like multiple times.
Anyway, I don't have to explain too much.
Everybody knows this guy.
William O'Brien is committed.
He will be here.
It's going to be great.
I think he may only be able to squeeze Friday,
but that's good because that may be perfect
for your intro you want to do for the...
Yeah, I can have him do the intro.
It's a bummer that we can get him as a player.
Yeah, I would love...
love to have him play because obviously you can't because of the next day is the finals and stuff
and his team wins he's out but i suppose you could swap people in i don't know maybe there's a way
could sub him in but you know it'll be more fun maybe i can even work in some other trivia question
that he can um that he can be part of yeah the only problem with that is that we've got only one
game friday and then a saturday morning game and a saturday night game yeah are two final games you're
right or the next day well one semi-final and one yeah right but he's he's uh he and i've been
friends forever. This has been a thing we've tried to do forever.
Like seriously, since 2010, we've been trying to make a schedule match up and it just never
worked. Post-2015 got even harder because that's when critical roll exploded.
And his schedule is just really, really tight. But we made it work. He's coming. I can't
freaking wait to hang out with Liam and have him hang out with you guys. And it's going to be awesome.
Go to frogpants.com right now and get your stuff. Here's my other favorite thing.
Here's all these hosts, you know, so far. I haven't finished it yet. But all these people are either
helping or part of panels or whatever and uh my favorite thing about is bow wrote me back says this
looks fine but how come carter is the only cool person on here and she he's right look at her
i know she's super cool i think he said something like she looks like she's in the next matrix
remake or something like like a scheduled musician to appear yeah johnson yeah the rest of us

Hey, dude.
Well, well, well, oh, I got it and Brian.
Hey, man, what's going on with you on this beautiful Monday morning?
Oh, man, is this, you know, it's a, you know, it's a,
What are you more for me?
Come on.
Let me tell you.
Up and about.
I say that, but I actually mean it.
I don't know what's going on.
It's bad for our snow and it's bad for all the reasons why we're going to.
We have the Olympics in like 10 years here.
Like we need snow during the wintertime, but instead today will be like 65.
Yesterday was gorgeous, clear skies sunny.
We're getting 70 degrees today if you could believe.
Yeah, Denver and Salt Lake.
What is going on?
Yeah.
I don't get it.
Take that Super Bowl.
We've got weather talk.
Weather talk.
Did you enjoy the game?
I did. No, I did. Me and Zoe.
We were the only ones in the household who gave a crap other than, you know, the other kids came in and Audra came in to, you know, check out Belinda Carlisle and that kind of stuff.
But whatever.
It was on Belinda Carlyleine. Brandy. Brandy Carlyle.
Did I say Belinda? Sorry. I only know Belinda. I only know Belinda. She knows that what was it again?
What her name again?
Brand. Brand. Brand.
There you are.
So there we go.
A couple of BCs, both.
That was actually, that's a little dig that, Audra I did last night.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No.
Keep on digging.
Yeah.
When Brandy Carlisle was on Saturday Night, my dad texts me at, you know, 10 o'clock at night or whatever time it is in Vermont where he's watching it live.
And he says, man, Brandy Carlisle looks amazing.
And I'm like, yeah, she really does.
She does.
She's a really talented artist.
And then it dawned on me.
I'm like, I'll bet he thinks that's.
Belinda Carly.
He's using her with Belinda Carlo.
But he typed Brandy because obviously it's what they say,
ladies of gentlemen,
Brandy Carlyleau.
Yeah.
But I typed back,
are you thinking Belinda Carlyle?
I mean, she is, I mean, what, 44?
Looks amazing for 44.
She does look amazing for 44.
She has an incredible voice.
Man,
Belinda Carlyle, I think, is pushing 70,
pretty close to it, maybe.
Gotta be right.
Something close to that.
Yeah.
Let's see.
she is 67 so getting
up there getting up there yeah
audrick great to me last night so this
this is fun and I was I was hoping
we could talk I'm gonna have to listen to this now
so ha ha ha ha ha ha ha yeah
plus she can see how well you perform today
Brian explain these rules so we know how hard this is gonna be
oh she knows how I perform
oh all right let's not get into that
gross it's time to play
the tadpooly why is it say the tadpooley feud
I should say asses
it's time to play the more
Morning half-ass is a trivia game where I'm going to be giving you two chuckleheads the answers.
I'm going to give Scott and Brandy category and six possible answers.
Three of which are correct in three,
like not listening to Brandy Carlisle's new collaboration album with Elton John,
which is so fantastic, is incorrect.
Depending on how confident you feel the category,
you can provide one, two, or three guesses.
But if you get any of those guesses wrong,
you get zero points for that round.
Get one right, gets you a point.
Two right gets you three points.
Three right gets you five points because of math.
we're going to add up the player
The player with the most points
We're not going to add up the player
There's two
It's easy one two
The player with the most points
After three rounds
What's the prize for their contestant
And contestants have been pulled
From members of the tad pool
That aren't able to listen live
Scott, you're playing for Matthew
Oh, who like to share
Can just go by one name
Because you know
There can only be one
This might be actually tricky
Finding this guy after
But I'm gonna do my best
Oh funny well I mean
If his if his Patreon name is Matthew
Because that's where you pull it
Yeah, the problem is there's a bunch of Matthews.
I just have to make sure I only send it to the guy who's only called Matthew and hope.
There's only one of you named just Matthew.
That's the truth.
Brian, you are playing for the multiply named Alex Erickson.
Oh, Alex, we know Alex, yes.
Very good.
Alex is great.
It's good.
All right.
Very good.
All right.
Let's start things off with with celebrity gossip.
Just kidding.
Celebrities.
Which of these six people are parents of twins?
Which of these people have twins?
Your choices are
Stephen Spielberg, Farah Fawcett, Mariah Carey, Martha Stewart,
Muhammad Ali, George W. Bush.
Okay.
Three of these are parents of twins.
How am I supposed to know that?
Well, you just need to work on your brain.
You just need to, don't you read us magazine weekly?
Don't you get in there and do it?
Stars, they're just like us.
I think I know this by just like us.
I think I know this by just mine.
missing a couple of things because I know I know two three of them well I know two of them for absolute
not like okay oh not okay so you're working the opposite you're working the opposite yeah I'm working the
back end here to see if I can't get around to the front that sounds terrible all right here
we go locking in my answers okay lock in a thing I'm just guessing then it looks looks right
um sure why not there we go all right oh look at you guys out of six possible answers you guys
between the two of you chose five and nobody doubled up on anything so what
That is awesome.
Weird.
Yes.
So let's get to, um, let's go to Mariah Carey.
I don't remember any song singing about her twins.
So I kind of, I said, probably not.
She doesn't ask for a lot for Christmas.
Right.
But she does have twins.
I don't know.
That one I knew for sure.
But yep.
That's the only one I knew for positive.
The rest of these are shot in the dark.
I don't know.
Uh, Muhammad Ali.
Stings like a bee.
Floats like a butterfly.
He has at least one daughter who boxes, right?
But I don't.
I've never seen her.
Yeah.
Yeah,
I've never seen her twin.
I don't know if Layla is a twin.
She might be because, yes,
Muhammad Ali is the father of twins.
He's got a load of kids,
I think.
Well,
then I'm out.
I guess that makes you out because you chose two items.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
I chose to,
yeah,
yeah,
one of the ones you chose,
though,
George W.
Bush,
of course.
Yeah,
his twins,
always had problems with those twins,
like climbing out the window and,
and,
yeah,
okay.
And running around at night.
One of them,
Jenna is on
the Today Show. So zero points for both of you because you basically both chose a mix of
a whiffed. I thought George Bush's daughters were not, I was just sure that was wrong and they were
they were just sisters. They're twins. They're twins versus identical. That's what I was trying to
return to fraternal versus identical, right? Right, right, right, right. And for this quiz, it doesn't matter
if they were either. Yeah, this is twins. Yeah. They should have said twinsies, but whatever. I should
of. I should have. In hindsight, I'm wishing I would have. Let's get to question number two.
Former, we have the Olympics going on right now. So it's exciting times.
Olympics going on. Former official Olympic sports. Which of these were officially added to the Olympics
at one point or another? Corf ball, squash, water motor sports, bowling, croquet, or tug of war.
But are not currently sports, but we're added.
necessarily current yes but we're added officially at uh at one time but they could be current
i mean i don't know if any of these are current i don't okay that's that's fine what you're
saying what you're saying former so that's what we're trying to figure out meaning that it's it is
no longer okay okay no that's good i'm stressed out now all right i know only one of these for
sure was but i kind of thought it still was so now i'm worried about my brain um oh no oh no
No.
Oh, no.
I'm picking two.
Oh, you're picking two.
I mean, I picked three, Brian Dono.
I picked three.
Yeah, yeah, he picked three.
He went all in.
Really went, really went.
Yeah, I went all in.
Yeah, I threw all in.
I pushed my chips to the middle of the table and made everybody nervous.
Start in the towel.
He's locked in.
Okay, good.
Don't you start?
Don't you come up to you with that?
Start the timer crap.
All right.
Let's get to, um, let's get to one of Scott's choices.
Tug of War.
Please let this be.
I think Scott was thinking about Battle of the
the Battle of the Network All-Stars.
But no, he wasn't. He was really thinking of the
Olympics. Yeah.
Early on, I figured that would be like
the first one. It's like, hey, we should
pull some ropes. If there's the first one, they were naked,
right? Because they always were naked in the first. It wasn't the first
one. It was from 1900 to
1920. So turn of the century, they said,
Ah, let's start pulling on ropes.
That sounds great. People into the mud.
I chickened out.
Someday, Robert Wagner will be
doing this.
why Robert Wagner
That's a perfect pick for some reason
You could have said any of those guys
But Robert Wagner
Somehow is the dead perfect square peg
Of the network all stones
Nailed it
Oh my gosh
All right good
I feel good about that
Bowling
For soup
Oh
Was demonstrated in 1988
But was not
added to the official Olympic roster.
It was just shown like they had a demo.
I know bowlers are butt hurt about it.
And I was trying to hear it was because they pulled it away from them or if they, all right.
Yep.
The real answers were Croquet, Water Motorsports.
So Croquet was added in 1900 as well.
Water Motorsports was added in 1908.
So I think like rowing and doing.
There's no motors in those sports.
No, human motors.
Just motor boating each other.
I don't know.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't know what they were doing.
Corp ball is that game where you've got a pole in the middle of,
it's like basketball, but instead of hoops with nets,
you've got one thing in the middle, that plastic thing in the middle
that they were trying to shoot into.
Oh, also thinking of American gladiators.
Didn't know that had a name.
I knew about that.
Yeah, like you see it on playgrounds all the time still.
Yeah.
It's a thing.
And American gladiators, right?
That was the thing, right?
Did they have American gladiators too?
Sure.
Probably did.
They need what they.
need to do is add whatever that was called tennis ball shooting at a person conquest maybe it was
called where you're running through a little maze and you've got a dude shooting tennis balls at you
nitro just get nitro it's like a big jackass sport i love it it really is yeah all right let's get
to the last question oh my gosh well uh this weekend you and me and uh brian and randy the two of you
me and Randy, we'll be, um, how could you say that another way?
We'll be talking about Lord of the Rings.
And so that one kind of inspired this question right here.
Which of these are chapters in the book, the Hobbit?
So, you know, not the, not the DVD chapters.
Sorry, Brian, but the actual book, the Hobbit, your choices are roast, roast mutton, smog, barrels out of bond, a pinch of pipeweed, the window on the,
West and fire and water.
Three of these are actual chapter titles
from the Hobbit.
Okay.
I'm confused with Lord of the Rings, which we're going to talk about.
I love The Hobbit, thank you very much.
However, it has been
a couple. I'm talking about the books.
I love the books. I love the books. I've never written like a decade.
There are things. We talk about this on that episode, but
there are things to like about the Hobbit, but it ain't no
Lord of the Rings trilogy. It ain't no Lord of the Rings movie.
Well, not the movie.
No, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
The book's great.
One of my favorite books ever is The Hobbit.
Love it.
Start the timer.
No need.
You both locked in.
And let's see.
Burles out of Bond will start with.
Brian shows barrels out of bond.
Yes.
I think that's them in the book.
They go down a water slide with barrels like they did in the movie.
Terrible scene.
Terrible scene.
Terrible scene.
It really was.
Terrible scene.
We need an action scene.
Let's turn the barrel thing.
to a water slide.
Yeah.
It's like,
remember how we used to have,
we used to have,
uh,
Legolas do stupid CGI things.
Let's go ahead and do,
let's have every single dwarf do it.
Let's do it now that way.
Exactly.
Dumb.
And then smog,
smog felt like the right choice.
It's not.
It was not.
Nope.
And pinch of pipe weed also just to get things moving.
Ah, shit.
Yeah.
Also not.
Uh,
fire and water and roast mutton were the actual chapter titles.
I don't know how somebody would,
know that unless they've read it. Yeah.
It's been too long. I haven't read it.
And also don't look at the chapters
and go, oh. Yeah, exactly.
So, let's see.
Scott got,
let's see, Brian one, Scott
won.
Oh, that's how we're doing the over under, isn't it?
Yeah, Scott, you actually got
three answers total correct
out of all three games. So I'm going to let
you choose whether you want to give
the number or
the over under and I'll tell you the question
then you can choose. Okay.
On average,
how many marshmallows are in a standard
10 and a half ounce box
of Lucky Charms?
I love this question. Not your
weird, all oops all marshmallows
box that you got once, but
I like the standard.
Standard out of the factory proper
production. How many
marshmallows are
in a box, an average box of Lucky
charms? I'll let you decide if you want to give a number,
you want to do the over under.
I'm going to do.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
This is a hard one.
I'll do the over under.
Brian, you've got to tell me a number.
Brian, give me a number.
125.
I'm going to say that's low.
It's got to be low.
The actual answer is, that's correct.
You're saying Brian's answer is low.
I'm saying his answer is low and I want to go higher.
Yeah.
Yes, correct.
It is higher than that.
224.
So missed it by about 100 marshmallows.
Maybe he's in the 80s.
When is the last time you counted one of those?
Shrinkflation.
This was North Star Games research team
is the person who found this data out.
What I love about this is Donaway basically is saying,
you basically threw the game so that you could make a societal statement of truth,
which is their shrinkflation and people are screwing us.
You know what?
Hats off.
Hats off to you.
Well done.
I had one loader for both, but yeah, it's fine.
It's all good.
Nicely, nicely done.
Congratulations, Scott, and by proxy, congratulations, single-named Matthew.
Yeah.
You're going to be getting a copy of Spin Hero and Paleo Pines.
By the way, the games from last week were uncrossed out.
Was that me not, was that me forgetting to cross them out, Scott, or did you?
Did not re-ad them or anything as far as I know.
Cool, cool.
Yeah, I think we probably just didn't cross-mout.
Just making sure the people who won last week weren't like, oh, I've already got it, put it back in.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
that's a good point. No, I usually, I'll always
at least let you know.
Okay, you'll indicate it. Okay, cool, cool. Well, then
congratulations, Matthew. You're getting a copy of
Spin Hero and Paleo Pines.
Alex Erickson, you're getting a copy
of Lost Skies. All of
these, courtesy of
Wesley. Wesley!
Yeah, and the good news is all of those games are actually
quite good, so you're going to be happy either way.
We will go ahead and get those out to you
in your private messages on the Patreon.
In the meantime, Brian Dunaway right here
is going to join me to
night at 4 p.m.
For about an hour, we'll see how long ago.
It may go longer. We don't know.
We get a talking.
Yeah, we're going to do some old-ass cartoon watch-along fun with the community, with our play retro community.
So play retro still happen on Wednesday like normal.
But on Tuesday night, we're going to do this thing.
Watch retro.
It might be a little bit of a, you know, a little bit of practice toward a thing we're going to do at Nerdtacular.
So just saying, you may want to be there tomorrow night, 4 p.m. Mountain time at FrogPants.
dot TV. Come check it out.
Brian,
don't know what you got anything to say for yourself before we go?
That's rude.
Bye. All right. He's out of here.
It was pretty rude.
That's pretty rude.
All right, guys, it's time for this bit of fun.
If I can find the button to press right now.
And now welcome Stephen to the show.
He's a huge freaking nerd.
Dollar, dollar bills, y'all.
Ah, the ever-patient Stephen Schleiker has been on the line for a while now.
Hello, Stephen. How are you?
Hello, Scott. Hello, Brian.
How's it going, man? How's life?
it's fine. It's going to be like 80 degrees today.
That's 80 for you. Jeez.
That's effed up. That's some dust bowl numbers. What are we doing?
Yeah. Yeah. My neighbor's, you know, evergreen tree was dying on some lower branches.
So he cut those lower branches off. Now the whole tree is dead.
Oh, no.
And so I'm just waiting if he doesn't take that whole thing down by July 4th.
There's going to be a Roman candle in the front yard.
Oh.
It's going to burn it to the ground.
It will burn to the ground.
I want to follow very closely your, your, uh,
your altercation with neighbors.
So if we get any updates on this story,
you'll keep us informed and let us not.
I haven't had an altercation with my neighbor
since the first month we moved in to our house.
What was that one about? Do you remember?
It was a brand new house, so no landscaping had been done,
and we were waiting for the landscapers to come.
And so the dirt was kind of slowly washing out onto the sidewalk.
And they came over and they're like,
you need to take care of that.
You need to do it right now.
I love the voice.
And so here it is.
I'm like 9 o'clock at night.
I'm shoveling all this dirt off the sidewalk back into my yard, cursing the guy out.
Different guy now or is it the same?
Oh, yeah, different guy.
Oh, okay.
Oh, well, did you pay your respects or did you celebrate his passing?
No, I didn't celebrate.
I don't celebrate people's deaths.
Okay.
Yeah.
I feel you.
Well, it's good to have you here, man.
We're going to talk about some stuff.
I know you're not a big Super Bowl guy.
So we don't have to talk about any of that.
I was clump of grass number 23.
Were you? Nice.
I loved how the grass was all people.
And I heard a couple of things about this.
So found out he was wearing a vest because there was a ton of threats.
Sure.
And that's why I wore that goofy.
That's why it was all bulky.
I was like, oh, he's wearing a jersey.
But man, what's he wearing under it?
Are we going to get to see that?
We apparently never did.
Nope, never did.
And then the reason that they had people disguised as the plants because they were all painted up green and had all this foliage.
Yeah.
But they never actually danced or anything.
No.
And so there's two reasons.
One was that there's some protection in there,
meaning they're bodyguard types that are dressed as plants.
So there's a gunshot.
All of a sudden, Bad Bunny is covered by a ton of plants.
Yeah, a bunch of plants would just leap on them to try to protect him.
But then also, it made it so you didn't have to do a bunch of cleanup or setup for the thing.
Some brilliant idea.
Because the grass had to keep moving during the performance.
The grass could just, and at the end of grass could just walk off the field.
And when they have to get on, the grass.
just goes out and takes their place.
I think that is so freaking cool.
But that's all you cared about.
You haven't seen it.
You don't care about nothing else, right?
You're done.
So my youngest,
my oldest son was freaking out
because he really wanted to watch the Super Bowl
and we don't have cable or anything like that.
So we were scrambling trying to find a free way to watch it.
By the way, I signed up for a 10-day free trial of YouTube TV
and then it canceled it this morning.
Oh, very nicely done.
And so I ended up watching like,
up until the Supreme Court Pringles commercial.
And then I was like, this game.
boring and left.
It is a boring game.
There wasn't a lot going.
I mean, I was happy to Seahawks were doing this.
Their defense is insane.
And there is some value in seeing that if you like football and seeing that play out.
And seeing these unsung people that normally don't think that much about.
You're always thinking about quarterbacks and receivers and stuff.
But those guys freaking murder it.
But that's not an exciting game.
No, no.
It's just kind of like, oh, we made another field goal.
Okay, let's move down.
Yeah.
But I will say.
about the
what was I was going to say about that
about the game
I was going to say a thing
Those quarterbacks
are too young to be quarterback
Oh my gosh
Everybody looked 12
What's going on?
I know what's going on
24 years old
What's his face
Darnold
May?
Yeah
I'm sorry
He's 23
I think
23 yeah
May is 23
Donald I guess
is a little bit older
But still
geez
But they look like children
It was like
Watching Jesse Plymonds
AK 2006
Friday Night Lights
Yeah
it was against
Saracen and yeah.
Yeah, these are just children.
And then all of them, even the big guys, big front line guys, I'm like, they're all 10.
And then I went, you know what this, I asked myself, I says to myself, I says, you know what this means.
And myself replies, oh, I know, it means we're getting old.
I was going to say, who said that?
It means that, you know, Nick Johnson is going to watch a replay of this game in 30 years and be like, yeah, most of these pillars are dead.
Yeah.
They're all going to be like lit or, or.
Len Swan looking like in their 90s.
It's so weird.
But yeah, that really...
Joe Montana looked good.
He looked great.
Yeah, he did.
He really good.
Yeah, Steve Young looking good.
He's still pretty young, though.
Peyton Manning.
Yeah.
Peyton Manning never rages.
I don't know his...
No, he really doesn't.
Yeah.
And his brother's got a big forehead.
You could put advertising on his forehead.
Anyway,
he charges 10 million also.
Yeah, that's true.
Hey, let's get to these things
we are going to talk about.
You know, Alex Ross,
one of people's favorite all
time artists and comics, illustrator, amazing comic work using watercolor of all mediums.
Like the guy's insane.
He's amazing.
And he's back with a new project.
Tell us about it.
What's going on.
Yeah, I think most people will remember the two big projects that he's known for,
marvels that he did with Kurt Bucic and Kington Cun that he did with Mark Wade,
where everything is hand painted and drawn.
And sometimes the heroes look like real life people.
He's kind of been quite over the last couple of years.
his most recent work was fantastic for Full Circle that came out in September of 2020,
but mostly he's been doing variant covers for different companies, mostly Marvel,
but now Marvel and Abrams comic arts are teaming for this project called Dimensions,
which is coming out in September of this year.
We don't really know too much about it except in an interview with the Hollywood reporter.
Ross says,
it's meant to be as bonkers a ride for the readers I could possibly be.
You're getting one kind of entertainment, and then it changes on you midstream, and then you're getting a different art style, and then you're wondering what's going on, and then the format changes with the book itself, a mid-book format change.
All these things seem to unify and combine and come back together, but it's meant to be a wild ride that is throwing everything plus the kitchen sink at you.
That's a unquote.
Look at this cover, dude.
I love the fact that he locked in on Brown and Tan Wolverine and said, this is the, this is the, this is the, this is the, this is the.
uniform I want to draw from now on. Yeah. And I love his I love his human torch has always always
looks great and the fact that he does the reflections on things like the silver surfer or any kind
shiny armor metal piece. Iron man or uh Thor's uh booby cover. Yeah, boobie covers. He got four boobs
boobes by the way, nipples under there. If you ever get a chance, look at how he does the
real life references like he has someone come in and pose for him for all of these positions.
Sometimes it's him. Sometimes it's somebody he knows. But those behind.
the scenes things are always interesting to look at.
Yeah, I love this stuff.
We don't know much about, again, like I said, about Dimensions, except it will introduce
about 200 new characters or at least 200 new variations of characters.
Oh, no.
So the fact that it says dimensions makes me wonder if we're not taking a trip through the multiverse.
Maybe.
Yeah, maybe.
Not that we're not tired of that, but.
New variants means new things for Marvel Snap, new cards for Marvel Snap.
Yeah, there you go.
The thing about Alex Ross, looking at the picture of,
here. They should just do a whole Alex Ross Marvel Snap collection. I agree. Oh my gosh. But I look at him and all I think
of, I just feel like I'm being judged. I feel like I'm being judged. I feel like I'm being judged. I can't explain it. He's not that much
older than we. No, he's not at all, but I just, there's a judgment about his stare. He's not judging you. He's
judging your artwork. Yeah, that's all. That's how it feels. I feel like I can't draw anything. By the way,
I'm a little pinchy and zooming on this. Let me pull this up. What is that? I think he's got action figures. That looks
like a hellboy, doesn't it? Yeah, kind or something. What is that?
It's a devil head with, but his horns have been pulled off and there's like a little nipple there that the horn probably attaches to.
Yeah, like a bottle of water and a bottle of windex.
That's what happens, your nipples when you got triplets.
You just, that's how it works.
And I think I see statues back there for, to go back.
Oh, sorry.
I see statues back there for Daredevil's red and yellow costume and Phoenix.
Yeah.
A Thor over on the right, I think.
It's like a full standee's or something.
They have some action figures based on his.
character designs.
Oh, really?
I think at one point
there were some action figures.
I know Kingdom Come did a whole line of action figures
based on his art.
So there may be the same thing for Marvels.
Oh, yeah, I have the Joker from that.
From the Kingdom Come to deal in the white suit.
DC direct Justice Lee.
Yeah, there's a armored green lantern
that is based on his artwork, Scar Crow.
I can't fight it.
I have the Joker here.
If you're thinking white suit Joker,
You may be thinking Frank Miller's.
Oh, am I thinking of the Frank Miller one?
I might be.
Yeah.
Dark Night Reuters.
No, Dark Night.
Yeah.
There's all the DC ones.
I see tons of DC ones, but I don't see.
So, Brian, there's a, there's a, there's a, this is a hundred and twelve pages.
This is almost twice as long as full circle.
Yep.
29.99.
Have you already put in your pre-order?
I am not.
I didn't know I could pre-order it.
I do have that full circle, fantastic for full circle thing, which was great.
I read that thing.
And so.
much making of in that thing, but none of the typical here are the photos of the people that
I use as references, which I remember seeing. Those were great. I'm just always happy to see
anything he does. People may not know this. Chris Metzen's a big nerd for Alex Ross, and he has
multiple originals, like actual painted originals lighting his hall. No, they are not.
You know, let's put it this way. Chris's time at Blizzard was a very lucrative time. I think he did pretty well.
So he can afford all this stuff.
But every time I'll catch a, he'll send me a picture or something,
and I'll see his hallway.
And I'm like, that's not just pop posters.
He didn't just go to some con and say,
here, sign this for me, Alex.
These are OGs, like originals, like many thousands of many dollars.
That's amazing.
I want that.
Anyway.
I do have a big sign.
I have all the Marvel's covers, you know, from the original limited series.
So they made a giant poster if you put them all together.
he sold it as a giant poster
and I have it signed on the bottom with
I think
the watcher drawn on
the down where his signature
goes. Oh, nice. That's awesome.
Where'd you get that?
Here's the embarrassing
part. Frickin QVC.
That's not embarrassing. It's fun.
My aunt, I can't remember who
told me, but somebody told me, oh, you know, Alex
Ross is going to be selling sign posters on
QVC and it's like, oh, really?
Tuned in just in time to see, I'm like,
Well, shit, that's 150 bucks.
Yeah, I'm buying it.
Yeah.
So if you want to go to Alex Rossart.com, he sells his originals there, Scott.
Yeah.
So if you want to get, for example, the Alex Ross Amazing Spider-Man No. 5 painting, it's only $20,000.
Oh, is that all?
If you act in now.
Only $20,000.
That's a bargain.
Yeah, he's got some.
There's Alex Ross Astro City number 40 painting, $6,000.
That's not bad.
That's actually pretty good.
Sure.
I mean, now that you've told me the 20, you've told me the.
The 20, that one seems a lot less of a problem.
I know, right, so it's how you do it.
I hit you with the high price.
And then I say, but you could get in the door for this one Astro City number 44 painting.
That's how Stephen gets you.
This on his homepage, this Marvel shot with Iron Man with Thor and Captain America on either side of him.
And you see, like you were saying, Stephen, the reflections of the side view of Captain America and the side view of Thor in Iron Man's mask.
Yeah.
Absolutely amazing.
It's amazing.
some of the coolest stuff visuals ever.
He knows this shit.
He really does.
Well, that's great news.
I'll look forward to that.
Yeah.
And I did pre-order mine while we were talking.
Oh, nice.
September 1st, delivery.
There you go.
We have not talked yet about this Baldersgate 3 show coming to HBO.
And this is kind of a big deal.
Craig Mason's show running.
Dude, what just finished up his time on Last of Us.
He also was the Chernobyl showrunner.
Creator.
Yeah.
One of my favorite.
I'm going to call it a comfort watch.
Don't ask me why.
I don't know why Chernobyl is a comfort watch for me.
No kidding.
Every year I watch that thing again.
Really? Amazing.
Almost yearly since it's been out.
And I don't know what my problem is.
I think it's just the acting is so exquisite and it's just so well made.
And the messaging of it is so important that I just cannot get enough of it.
I love that thing.
Anyway, call me weird if you want.
But Balders Gate 3 is getting an HBO series.
Or there's a little confusion on this.
It's Baldur.
But I think they want to focus on the characters that were made famous from three.
Yeah.
So technically it's a sequel to what Mason had said online, that it's technically what happens
after the events of Baldersgate 3.
So you could think of it as a continuation or a following.
There will be new characters, but they're also going to have characters from the game
show up in the show.
So there could be people that you've played or villains or somebody like that.
Mason also said he's trying to get as many of the voice actors from the game to appear in the TV show.
Yeah, he's...
He did that with The Last of Us.
Yeah, I did great with that.
I actually think that he's the right, probably the right guy for this.
Yeah, no, he's a huge D&D fan.
He's been playing for over 15 years.
I think if you go on to Roll 20, or not onto Roll 20, but YouTube, he's got a bunch of tutorials on how to use Roll 20 because he's using it in his gaming sessions and everything.
Yeah, Mason is, I follow him a lot.
He's the co-host of the script notes podcast.
So if you're an aspiring screenwriter, he and his co-host have a lot of advice there.
So, yeah, this is going to be an interesting thing to see as it develops because Hasbro also has a D&D series in the works at Netflix.
Both of these worlds taking place in the Forgotten Realms world.
So will these cross over in some way?
Probably not.
will it cause brand confusion if people are saying,
hey, the D&D series is on Netflix,
and then people forget,
oh, this is not the Balders Gate series on HBO.
But who knows, by the time this all comes together,
Netflix and Warner Brothers may be the same thing.
Maybe all, yeah, they might all be Netflix anyway,
or whatever they decide to call it.
I don't know what.
I assume they're just going to call everything Netflix,
but HBO is still a prestige, though.
They'll keep an HBO.
My theory is they should keep it as the prestige thing.
and make that your premium video on demand service
to, you know, for that theatrical window issue
that everybody keeps complaining about,
send everything to HBO premium,
then over to Netflix after that.
Yeah.
Well, we'll see what they do.
I'm excited because I love that game.
It's an all-timer.
It's one of the best video games ever made.
It's really that good.
Yeah, won all those awards and everything.
Yeah.
A quick side note, if you follow Craig Mason's daughter,
I forgot her name.
Dang it.
Anyway, I follow her on a few things.
She has the voice.
She sings.
She has the voice of a freaking angel.
I don't know what's going on with her.
But she did that,
taking a ride with my best.
Oh, yeah, the Depeche Mode.
The cover on Last of Us.
You know the one I'm talking about.
That cover.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That's her.
She's so good.
Oh, I did not know that was her.
Okay.
She has a song about Elon Musk.
That's also really good.
It's thinly veiled about him and about rich men, but it's really good.
Anyway, if you haven't, I forgot her name, though.
Something amazing.
Behind the wheel?
No, what is it?
Not behind the wheel.
Son of a bee.
I can't remember her name.
Never let me down again.
Never let me down again. Yeah.
Great cover.
Oh my gosh.
So good.
That's cool.
Well, Stephen, what's going on at major spoilers.
Dot substack.com?
Soon to just be major spoilers.com again.
Hopefully, yeah, we're still, I'm having some arguments with the rack space right now over
charging me extra fees that they shouldn't be in my opinion charging me.
But over at major spoilers.substack.com.
That's where I want everybody to head to.
Last night after I left the Super Bowl, I started thinking, hey, Bob Eiger is stepping
down in March and a new person has been named.
Why is this person coming from the parks and not from the studio side of the system?
And so I break it down.
Here's why, because surprisingly, the experiences side makes a ton more money than the
movie side.
And then I outline here are the problems that they're going to have on the parks side that they need to address.
Otherwise, the whole system comes crumbling down and that does affect the studio side.
So that's my brand new newsletter that went out this morning.
And you can go read it.
And then you can also subscribe at major spoilers.substack.com.
Nice.
Didn't they do this before and then brought Iger back?
There was another park guy.
Chapic, Chippic, whatever his name was.
He also came from the park side.
And I believe Iger also came from the park side originally.
The parks makes roughly 57% of all of the revenue for the company.
And I think the movie side makes 37% something like that.
But when you look at the bottom numbers, the parks is more profitable than the movie's side.
That's interesting.
Oh, yeah, the actual profit on the, well, yeah, they better be where the prices are charging.
Holy shit.
Yeah, I talk about that too.
Last week, in fact, I talked about for Magic the Gathering fans,
Hasbro with one of their latest drops,
Wizards of the Coast decided to do some flex pricing on the packets,
which upset a few people.
So when you start doing that tiered system of pricing, that causes problems.
That's how they get you.
So that's what's going on over at the substack.
Speaking of Magic the Gathering, Amber Glenn,
who is one of the Olympic figure skaters,
the U.S. Olympic figure skaters
that competed over the weekend
and did pretty well,
didn't do as well as the Japanese figure skater.
They did an interview with her,
and she is a massive magic gathering player.
I saw that interview. That was great.
She goes to, like, game stores
and plays on their little folding tables,
and I'm sure, you know,
there's got to be some intimidations like,
oh, you know, a pretty girl playing magic.
the gathering of a white orchid.
Yeah.
Yeah, she, I heard that in her, I heard that all the Pokemon ad, that was pretty funny.
I thought that was going to be for Pokemon Go or something.
I thought, are they really spending this kind of money for Pokemon Go in the Super Bowl?
That must have been the second half because I don't think I saw that.
Yeah, it was just kind of a celebrities love Pokemon thing.
It wasn't that.
It was all right.
It's to celebrate their, what is it, 40 years?
30th.
30, 40, 30.
40, 30, I think.
30?
40.
30.
Anyway, I don't know why that sounds weird to me, but
Stephen, there's this whole other thing.
With the weather heating up, do you think you need to do something?
Make sure that you look at your pee.
Oh, yes, right.
Yeah, look at your pee.
I'm no longer going to say stay hydrated.
I'm just going to say, look at your pee.
Look at your pee.
Yeah, good idea.
Remember the email we got last week?
Somebody's saying, I can't believe Brad did a Phil Collins show
and didn't play that cover of against all odds by E.J.
from K-pop Demon Hunters.
It was for a look at your P commercial.
That's right.
Now you got it.
Enjoy it, the guy at home.
Stephen, stay out of trouble.
And may all of Hayes, Kansas's hot weather translate to happiness in your life or something like that.
Take care.
Bye now.
We got a quick email to finish things out.
Speaking of P.
This is about the jugs of P.
This is where we get our texts or emails or whatnot.
We got this one from an anonymous listener, I think.
Yes, this did not have a name on it.
Deer Snapper and Barracuda.
On today's TMS, you talked about tinned fish.
And that had me wondering if you've ever seen the tinned fish reviews TikTok channel.
He's fantastic and his dog, King Arthur, is even more fantastic.
Check them out.
Interesting.
So he just reviews tinned fish.
Yeah, like, how's this mackerel in a tin?
I give it five fishheads out of six or whatever.
I haven't looked yet, so I don't know exactly how it goes,
but I would definitely want to check that out.
I like that a lot.
And I was going to say one other thing about the tin fish.
Oh, Dr. Tolbert shared with us this guy who makes stuff out of spent tinned or fish tins.
Oh, really?
Like a little tugboat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yes.
I think you put it in the Rubebord group thing, yes.
Yeah, there it is.
Yes.
He made like a little tugboat out of a soft.
sardine can. It's awesome.
And there's a Muppet involved somehow? I don't know
what's going on over there. Yeah, something on his channel.
He's got puppetry. Everybody needs a hook,
man. Sure. Sure.
Anyway, thank you for that message.
Very good. Keep those coming.

Let's get to our ending cover here.
This one is going out to Chuck Byers.
Is Chuck Byers the guy we called in about the jugs of P?
Or does that somebody else?
Um, that's a great question.
This is about the jugs of pee.
We're going to assume that's Chuck Byers unless he corrects us.
Yeah, you might. Yeah.
He says, hey, yin's guys, I'll be turning 63 on February 9th.
And since I'm turning the same age as the last two digits of the year I was born,
I'd like to ask the covermaster to play me a cover of any song from the top 100 from that year.
So, 1963.
This is a year before the Beatles changed music forever.
So it might have some interesting choices to choose from.
exactly one year to the day after I was born was the day the Fab Four debuted on the Ed Sullivan show.
Next year, when I'm 64, can you guess what song I'm going to request?
That's great.
Can't even imagine.
Yeah, so, 1963, a lot of great songs came out that year.
Just to name a few, Sam Cook's Another Saturday Night, the Beach Boys, Surfing USA.
My boyfriend's Back by the Angels, Walk Like a Man by Frankie Valley in the Four Seasons, Wipe Out, Love is Like You.

Sweet. This was included on a Love Reimagined. Oh, yeah, because this completely changes the tone of
the song. This is really, really good. From 2017's Love Reimagined, it's a cover of the Ronnettes,
Be My Baby. Also, I was able to finally realize my vision while you were talking, a goat
inside the gate that you 3D printed. So there it is. See it? Do you see it? Oh, let me see.
