The devil went down to Georgia.
He was looking for a soul to steal.
Problem was he went to the wrong Georgia, you know, from the Soviet block.
Ain't no one there with a soul to steal.
So instead he signed up at patreon.com slash TMS and said,
and through, geez Louise, glasses suck.
Taking them off.
Through his heft behind your favorite morning show podcast.
Coming up on the morning stream, these ass aeros taste weird.
24-hour bullshit.
You spin me right round, Venus, right round, like a place.
Planet Baby. Mystery Pink Eye Date.
Of course he had a top knot.
Poop Tower. Talking celestial movements.
Bomb-ass hospital visit.
Court deposition equals bonus show content.
Planets have their own thing. Good for planets.
Bob Lobbblower.
I like a good rubber.
The ball goes here and it's magnetic.
Slow your roll, February.
Licking the troll with Bill and more on this episode of the Morning Stream.
I was going to tell you something.
You know, most of being an adult.
It's just trying to sleep at night and stay awake in the daytime.
Mike, we all come with a shot glass.
Hello, D.M.S. This is the morning stream smells like apple pie.
Hello, everybody, and welcome to TMS. This is the morning stream for Tuesday, February 10th, 2026.
and I'm not comfortable with how fast this month is already going.
Tell me about it, yeah.
Like, we talk about it a lot, but I'm telling you,
there's something real weird about February so far.
Part of it is the weather's weird,
so it's already making me feel a little funky.
There's a lot of stress around, you know,
prep for the big event in June,
and then I kind of need the time to slow its roll,
just a tiny freaking little bit, just like this much, you know?
No kidding.
No, you're 100% right.
It feels like
it can't already be the 10th.
How can it already be the 10th?
I know.
It doesn't make any sense.
I don't know how to slow it.
I don't know how to change it.
No.
Help me.
Yeah.
Somebody gives us some advice out there.
How do you slow the perception,
at least, of time in your own head?
You just, you know, maybe I need to do.
I don't know.
I don't know what it is.
You need to meditate, Scott.
You need to learn how to meditate.
I do that sometimes.
And then while I notice is how much time went by as I meditated.
It's kind of got the opposite effect.
Like, no, I should be worked.
I've got work I need to do.
Why am I meditating?
This concept, you know what we need to do.
Just let's move it.
I guess Musk is talking about the moon now.
We're going to have moon bases.
Let's go all the way.
Let's not go somewhere with a shorter day night cycle.
Let's go to Jupiter where obviously humans can't live.
But we have an amazing, what is it?
Like 60 hours a day or some crazy thing?
Yeah, it'd be perfect.
Way better than this 24-hour bullshit.
What does Mars give us besides shit potatoes?
How long is the,
I don't know.
Is that close stars?
They're a little smaller.
Rotation of Mars.
Probably a little less, I'm guessing.
I don't think it has to do with how small the planet is,
because I think Mercury has got a really slow rotation.
So it's all about rotation, or it's about,
rotation around, speed at which you rotate around the sun.
No, speed at which you rotate around your axis days,
rotating around the sun is what we call years.
Oh, that's the year, right.
Yeah.
So, yeah, good point.
So whatever planet moves the slowest.
I just assume we're all spinning roughly.
Were we not spinning all roughly the same time speed, all these planets?
We must not be.
No.
Okay.
Yeah, well, that's not true.
Then all bets are off.
I'll take anything.
Mars is sadly 24.6 hours.
So.
Do we get a point six out of it?
Pretty close to Mars, yeah.
What would it be got on, what's Jupiter?
Do you know?
Let's see what Jupiter is.
Drops of Jupiter.
Let's see what we got.
Just under.
10 hours, so less time.
F that.
Nine hours, 55 minutes.
That's crazy.
That thing's moving too quick.
It is.
Way too fast.
Plus, it's raining diamonds there or something.
It's like, you don't want to be there.
Yeah, let's say Venus.
I mean, you know, if you can deal with the breathing methane or whatever it is.
It's women come from there.
I like that.
Oh, yeah.
Actually, Venus goes backwards, so Margot Kidder survives.
Oh, fantastic.
Over and over and over.
She just lives.
Over and over again.
243 Earth Days for one rotation.
So, that's one Venus day.
That's crazy.
That is crazy.
There's 243 Earth days.
All right.
Well, the problem with that, then it becomes our physiology is not ready for taking advantage of that slow.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Their day is longer than their year.
It takes them, it takes Venus 225.
I don't know what Venus's pronouns are.
It takes Venus 225 days to go around the sun.
Right.
But 243 days for it to complete one rotation.
Yeah.
So it's basically you go, oh, 2020 was the worst day I ever had.
Although it wouldn't be 2020, would it?
Because it would change how years work?
There'd be no need to track years.
You just live 80 days.
Right.
Exactly.
That's effed up.
Bobby says in the chat, generally speaking, the bigger the planet, the faster it rotates.
I had it totally backwards, figured it was slower.
No, because.
Mercury is teeny, teeny, tiny, and it's 59 Earth days for it to do one rotation.
That would make sense, right?
Because it's smaller than Earth.
Because it's smaller, yeah.
So the bigger you get, the faster it moves.
So let's see what, let's do Saturn, the other guest.
See, Dr. Calhoun, this is why people don't like PhDs and they tend to avoid them at dinner.
Are we sure Scott graduated high school?
I'm just saying, I had it in my head and didn't study much further that the big,
bigger you are, the slower you move. That's a pretty natural thing to assume. But I'm also happy to eat crow and say, well, now I understand. It's the opposite.
One day on Saturn is 10 hours, 33 minutes. There you go. So, yep, it does seem to make sense.
And the day, by that, we mean like, you get a sun facing rotation and a night facing dark side rotation at some point on that planet in 10 hours.
Total time. Right. Exactly. Yes. All right. The same, the same. The same.
point on Saturn takes 10 hours and 33 minutes to go to be facing the sun again, if that
makes sense.
Right, right.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, Dr.
Calhoun's digging in.
Let's see what Neptune.
Yeah, look up Neptune.
You may as well.
He says, this is basic, like junior high science class.
I don't remember that shit.
They didn't really pound that into me.
No, they really didn't.
That was also a class I was taking fake notes in and the guy was still giving me A's.
So, yeah.
Listen, we barely learned.
what was it
I can't remember the mnemonic
the you know Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.
What was the, there was some mnemonic about mother and fudge or something.
Oh, right.
But I guess there's no fudge because there's no F planet.
F planet.
F planet.
Planet F.
Yes, exactly.
But yeah, Mercury, 14008 hours, Venus, 5,832 hours.
Mars, 25 hours, Jupiter, 10 hours.
Saturn 11 hours, you're in a 17 hours, Neptune 16 hours.
All right.
So maybe Earth is the best little medium we got.
It's also the only one we can survive on currently.
It kind of is.
That's one benefit right there.
So, yeah.
No, I know the every good boy deserves fudge.
Yeah, the, your guitar.
Oh, yeah.
Fret or not frets, but you're.
But that doesn't apply to the damn planets.
There's some other thing.
The piano, left-handed, whatever it is.
Yeah.
Planets have their own thing.
They do.
They have their own thing.
which is good, good for planets.
I remember this one, this friend I had in junior high, this funny of this, junior high,
friend in junior high on the bus would sing this song he knew that that was all the Bible books.
So like the, you know, you know, yeah, like, uh, freaking Genesis.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it was like that.
Like a Tom Lehrer song basically.
Yeah, it was exactly like that.
That's a great comparison.
And he wouldn't shut the F up.
He would do that every day on the bus all the way.
way there felt like all the way back depending on when I saw him.
Really annoying.
Like just stop.
Stop singing that song.
That's see.
That would be, I don't know, as I get older and it's like the trivia things that I need to know, like the order need to know.
Need to know to do well on jeopardy people.
Like knowing the order of the presidents, knowing the periodic table of the elements, etc.
or like knowing that stuff
and having a good
Tom Lairr
song to do that.
I think it would be great.
Animaniacs had that great one
of the elements.
I should memorize it.
I should just listen to that
every morning is what we should do.
There was a really good state one
my kids all know that they didn't teach us.
They never did it in our class,
but when they were young,
it was like,
Mississippi and Kentucky
right for the internet.
I don't know how it goes,
but they all know it.
Well, they started to do it with that,
what was it,
Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zero
home. Alabama, Arkansas, I sure love my mom.
Oh, yeah. It's like, just keep going with the other states. We'll get this thing memorized.
It'll be easy. They ain't doing no Yankees. I ain't doing that. Greenland.
Alabama, Arkansas.
Greenland.
Well, look at this. Do you ever do this? Do you ever?
So I had a live stream at four yesterday. I had planned.
Yeah, Adventure plan. Adventure time. Adventure club. Adventure time would get me in legal.
trouble if I called it that. That's true, yes.
I was all ready to go and I thought, at about three, I thought, you know what, I'm just
going to sit here for a second on the couch, chill with the dog, you know, slow my life down just
for a minute, enjoy a moment of nothing, little music in my head, no big deal. And then I woke up
at like 515. And I'm like, shit, by my whole first hour gone while I was on the couch. So I had to
go downstairs. And I did, I did it.
final thing. We filled the final hour,
but I hate that feeling
of like I'm late for,
it's almost like a dream you can't wake up from.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. They get that.
You know what, though?
It's,
people understand.
The fans or followers of the show
or, you know, people who just do our
dumb shit. They understand. They
know, you know, that sometimes
our bodies will just say, no,
you need sleep now. Yeah.
We have to answer that call sometimes.
Yeah, exactly.
Like the call to have an excellent mystery date.
Brian Phyllis said what happened yesterday.
So this was one Tina picked.
So it was a surprise to me.
And boy, was it a surprise, because if you were to describe this thing to me beforehand,
I would say, well, that sounds like it's going to be really dokey.
All right, fine.
I'm going to put a photo in chat.
I'm trying to figure out the best order, like the way to describe this.
but it looks like
some sort of funky art gallery
thing, right?
I have a theory about this.
Is it one of these things where you have to,
the right angle will reveal art?
Oh, right.
Like where you,
as long as you've got that pillar
positioned correctly in front of that wall.
Yeah.
No.
No?
And if you pinchy-Zumi on those people,
you will see that they're all wearing VR headsets.
Oh, weird.
This is a,
thing called
Horizon of Kufu
Horizon of Kufu
I feel like this guy may have soiled himself
for some reason
he wouldn't surprise me
This is a
I'll put a link in the chat
The year in our in our Discord
This is a
VR experience where you're going through
the Kufu
Pyramids
wearing VR
glasses and I watched them. I watch the guy. Yeah. Before, before, like the initial freakout,
I watched the guy after he took mine off, completely, uh, disinfecting wipe the whole face
part and all that. Oh, good. And then before he put it on me, before, when we were getting,
getting them on, I watched him do it a second time. So like, they do a, they do a clean before and a
clean after, like right before
they put on your face, they clean it, right after they take
it off your feet. And they let you see this process
which helps you because you've seen them do it.
Yes, because I've seen them do it. But the guy,
we walk up to get our glasses
put on and he's like,
how's everybody doing today?
I hate that. Clasps his hands together, and I'm
like, oh, top knot. We're doing all right, man.
You know, it's
a, it's a Monday. It's a
Monday. We're doing fine.
Did he really have a top nut?
You might have.
Oh, gosh.
But he's really acted like one.
Yeah.
And he's like, all right.
So I'm sure they talk to you about your level of comfort, the sensitivity that you have to, to VR experiences.
And Tina's like, yeah, I want a slightly less aggressive VR experience.
And I'm like, yeah, give me the full ball of wax.
Yeah, go for it, man.
I've got a quest at home
Do the miniature golf game a lot
I do Demio a lot
So I'm ready for this
You're not new to this world
So all these are things are what markers for the
Viewer to
So you touch a thing and it's like
Oh that's like right there
You walk in like you do not
The only reason I saw this room is because I
I went back
I said can I take a picture of this room
And I went back into it
The whole time you're wearing glasses
and you're walking all around this room with those pillars, mind you, and walls.
But you're walking around the whole time with the VR glasses,
and you're being guided through these pyramids by, you know, a virtual tour guide who's like talking about,
well, here's what it looked like when the building, when it was originally built.
And let's rise on this little platform up to the top level.
And the VR effect is so good.
If they had like a little hum to the ground, you would really feel like you're moving.
is like I felt like I was really moving even though there was no no physical indication
it was all all just in my eyes this sounds a lot like the what was it called and Kevin's not here
but that Pleasant Grove thing they had a similar thing like this where where if you
looked at the room as like a lot of nondescript like warehouse he'd look in art and stuff like you're
showing yeah yeah but then you would experience these things because oh if there's a wall there
you're actually going to touch this wall right and you get like if you
you're as you're walking around, you get two little extra indicators besides everything that you're watching.
And you're watching them like, you know, how they embalm the dead and cover them with salt to extract all the moisture out of their skin and and mummify them.
And it's like, this is really fascinating stuff.
It's really cool.
Yeah. But as you're doing this, all of a sudden you'll see like the little outline of an avatar person from one other person kind of walk in front.
And it looks like...
It's like their heads or what is it?
No, it's like a white ghost image of their body, just the outline of their body.
And I'm trying to figure out what it looks like.
At the end of Sledgehammer when Peter Gabriel is walking away.
Oh, yeah.
You know that stop motion effect?
Totally, dude.
Yes.
Or is it being a big time?
I hear what it is.
But anyway, you get like a little white avatar.
Tina was because she was part of my party and we were grouped together.
She was a constant purple avatar right next to me.
But anybody else would actually have a red ring around them,
horizontal ring like a waistline ring,
that if they came within a few feet,
that red ring would light up and it's like,
oh, they would start moving over or I would move over and let them pass
because I know that they probably couldn't see what they were doing.
And then the walls and the pillars showed up,
as faint red outlines.
So, like, you just got a little outline of the wall,
so you didn't run into the wall.
We didn't run into anybody or anything.
And they, so did they try to incorporate those,
some of these pillars into the experience?
No, no.
That's interesting.
You just, yeah, you just, they,
because you're not, you're not touching anything as you walk through.
Okay.
I was kind of like that, dude.
I had my hands in my pockets the whole time,
and I just kind of walked around.
It's like, I don't even want to have my arms out
in case I brush against somebody or anything like that.
So this guy here, let me look him up here, pull him up.
What is he holding?
Because he's doing something.
Oh, it's just a cane.
He's going to walking sticks, yes.
And we heard that guy, that was kind of the funniest thing.
It was like, every once in all we hear,
like going by, it's like, is somebody wearing flip-ups?
What are we here in here?
And it's this guy where brawlung is walking sticks.
That's really awesome, though.
They shut down this thing that we,
had that was similar to this.
Or they got bought up by somebody, like Disney or somebody bought them.
Oh, really?
And then they shut down this location.
They do some stuff in L.A., but we don't have anything like this anymore.
It just seems like a rad.
It's too bad.
This is actually really good.
I would highly recommend it if, like, it was in L.A. before here.
And 4.8 on the Sledgehammer video.
I was trying to find him.
They're doing the ghost walk, but I can't find it.
It's in the very end, I think.
That's what I thought.
Or is it big time where he does?
that.
Whoops,
why doesn't
give me to,
there it is.
Maybe it's big time.
At the end,
he's got this money.
Hold on.
Let's skip ahead some.
There's that weird car.
Kick the habit.
Kick the habit.
Shed my skin.
Oh,
that is big time.
This is big time.
Yeah,
it ends with him
breaking through that mirror.
Big, big, big, big.
So maybe it's sledgehammer.
Big,
which I think is anyway.
But,
wow.
So,
yeah,
this is cool.
This is,
this is,
absolutely worth it. I don't know what Tina paid for this, but
Oh, the time I was going to ask who did the thing.
Yeah, Tina was the pick. And it was good. And if she would have said,
we're going to do a VR tour through a pyramid. I'm like, okay, all right, great.
It does sound, I'm with you, dude. Everything about that. Exactly. On paper, it sounds like,
okay, but she did great. I think she saw reviews and people were, you know, it has excellent reviews.
she was like yeah no this this probably would be pretty good she was dead on like this was
she always knocks it out of the park i can't really say this was one of the best or you know this
one was better this other one this one was a great time and afterwards we went got some tacos that
are way too spicy and and brim was strong gave me acid reflux all night long yeah man that's the
worst oh that's what a call it was called kevin the void the void oh yeah okay yeah and they also
did the Vegas Star Wars thing.
That's no longer there.
Now I'm knowing the Vegas one, but that one you were like
hovering in a deal, weren't you?
Weren't you like in a...
I don't remember. Were you in a pod or something?
In a pod or something. Maybe you weren't hovering, but maybe you were like...
I never did it.
You were chained to one place.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know. That seems...
Seems neat, though. I wish... I kind of wish those guys had hung around.
We were going to do it. There was a year there where we were going to try to do a nerdtacular
down there and there's like a fantasy park.
I think that also is part of it.
this? Kevin, I don't have to tell. I don't remember.
I thought we didn't do it.
Also, I'm sure at this point, yous are both desperate to find anything new.
No, I've actually got a list of about eight new things that I'm going to be using over the next, you know, 16 months because we alternate months.
It's like, you know, whether it comes up on fever or nudge, there's a couple really good services that I subscribe to or not really subscribe that I,
I get for free
get notifications of fever,
Nudge.
Fever and Nudge are my two favorite
ancillary
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle characters.
They're two of the best.
You know,
they never really quite got the chance
to shine.
No.
Need their own spinoff, really.
Yeah, exactly.
But,
no, we don't have,
you'd think,
right,
like,
well,
all right,
let's go do another
wine tasting
or let's go do one of these things.
It's like,
oh,
I've got some great stuff lined up
that I can't talk
about because Tina's listening to this. She listens to this. That's right. Yeah. That's right.
All right. Well, let's get to some news. And before we go there, I'm going to tell you that Bill
will be here today. It's very exciting. Yay. Yeah, a little bit of bill time. I come in your
hot way. Before all that, though, this, it's today's news brought to you by.

Hey talk about
here's a really good news article.
Talk about this on tomorrow's episode.
We do that.
Nice.
There you go.
Check it out daily music headlines.com.
Very nice.
I can talk about this blade dance remix that I've been nonstop listening to.
Oh, really?
You've been listening to it for a while because remember we talked about it a couple weeks ago.
Yeah, it's this remix that I cannot stop.
Every day I got a hero at least once.
I don't know what's going on with me.
It's really weird.
Let's talk about this hospital.
This was a, this was sent to me by Tanner.
So big thanks to Tanner.
Straven in our Discord.
He says, hospital evacuated after 8 inch WW1, the big war.
This artiller, 8 inch artillery shell discovered in a patience.
And this is in the headline, but.
It was in his butt.
Oh, in his butt.
Yeah.
In a patient, but.
Yeah.
No, in his butt.
In a patient butt.
Gotcha.
The butt of the patient.
is where this was found. A hospital in France was evacuated after a male patient arrived with a W World War. I keep saying WW. I keep talking like Colonel Potter for some reason here.
WWW. World War I artillery shell lodged in his backside according to the bum shell report. That's this kind of article, Brian.
Really? It's not even clever. The bum shell report. I guess bombshell. Okay. Yeah, but it's not that kid. Okay. I'll give you half a point. That's too generous.
I'll give you one and a half Huffington posts.
That one's fair.
Yeah.
The unarmed 24-year-old man has been rushed.
Sorry, unnamed.
He wasn't unarmed.
He had a missile.
He was very much armed.
Yeah.
He was rushed to the ranguel accident and emergency unit in Toul.
I don't know how to say these French names.
Toulouse.
Toulouse.
Probably Toulouse.
Toulouse.
Probably Toulou.
Toulou.
Late Saturday night, according to the Daily Mail.
The poor fellow was in a, quote,
state of extreme discomfort, having inserted
a large object in his rectum.
Well, yeah.
At least he admitted he didn't like, oh, I accidentally said on this.
Yeah, but what are you doing?
Great grandpa, let me, can I borrow his old, uh, right.
Tell me about the word, grandpa.
And do it while I put this in my hooter.
Surgeons concluded, or sorry, conducted emergency surgery during which they discovered
the shocking source of his pain, a live eight-inch bombshell from 1918 that had been
lodged inside of him, uh, fearing potential fire in the hole.
That's them.
They went up another half point for that.
They went up another half point for that.
And hospital, medical personnel alerted the bomb squad and fire brigade and evacuated the facility.
Meanwhile, a security perimeter was formed around the medical center as the authorities investigated the explosive situation.
So they really didn't know if it was live, live artillery.
Well, it is a lot.
They know it was live.
That's for sure.
But it's so old, it wasn't going to blow.
Yeah.
But still, this is like, this reminds me of one of those, like, like,
I always made fun of these episodes
that Kim would watch
some like real medical
what's the one but
no tales from the ERs
not the real ones but like the
crappy TV show has been on too long
like like yeah yeah
the one was McDreamy
that yes yes that
yes
I couldn't think of crazy
very much like yeah
I think they had an episode like this
where someone had to hold a bomb inside
somebody for a while while the place cleared out
probably did that's right
like they're going all right
cut the blue wire
Yeah.
And it's like this stuff doesn't work.
Definitely not the pit.
The pit doesn't do dumb shit like this.
Garbage.
No, the pit does real stuff.
They're really good.
Here's a story for you.
Wild turkeys in the news.
Not the, not the whiskey or whatever that is.
MASH.
A very special episode of MASH.
Yeah, exactly.
This guy just showed up in the ER with the artillery sheriff his ass.
If I could do a Mike Farrell voice, I'd do it.
But I don't know how to do it.
it. Wild turkeys
chase down postal worker and attack
residents. We have some postal workers.
They'll have to, you know, let us know.
Turkeys are dicks. Terekes are huge
dicks. You think geese are dicks?
Good food.
Dick old birds.
I wouldn't mind seeing a turkey and a
goose going after each other,
you know, getting in a big fight.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. I would watch that.
Wild turkeys are chasing postal workers,
blocking traffic and attacking adults
and children. Oh, no.
won't someone think of them.
In the Wisconsin neighborhood,
Janesville resident Lawrence Meyer
caught on camera
an incident of wild turkeys chasing a postal worker.
All right, now I have to see if this video is there.
Yeah, please do. Please share.
Please be here.
Wild turkeys.
Oh, here we go.
There's a little bit of something.
I don't know if it's like news footage.
Let's see if this even works.
Dude, tonight.
Why is a band of roving wild turkey
is attacking Wisconsin citizens?
Look at them take down this Penske truck.
Oh, no, the Penske file.
They really are.
Yeah, they're stopping stuff from happening.
Okay, let's see if we can get the one where they're chasing them.
Yeah.
Oh, turkeys, man.
Just eat them.
Get them ready to eat.
Exactly.
Oh, look at this.
He's like, ah, shit.
So they're not really attacking.
They're just more like corraling them.
Right, exactly.
I mean, they're clearly jerks.
I know a lot of jerkbirds in my time.
That's a jerk bird.
I, you know what, I like him.
I'm fine with him, but maybe it's time to start instituting Turkey for Easter.
Yeah.
Turkey for Valentine's Day.
I like turkey for everything.
President's Day.
I love turkey meat.
Turkey meat is, I will always go for it if it's available to me.
Same, same.
Even though, clearly they're dicks, and they're also kind of gross when they're living.
Well, they get that ball sack on their head and all that or whatever that is.
Not their head, but like the weird thing.
Yeah, they're gobbler.
or whatever it's called.
What the Wadler, bottler?
What, goblah, lobbler?
Sure, the boblah blabler.
Something like that.
Blah's loblah blabler.
Oh, hell.
That's awesome.
All right, you guys, guess what?
It's time for some of this.
There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill?
Our old friend Bill Durand,
all the way from punishprops.com,
joining us today like he does on a Tuesday.
What's going on, man?
How are you?
Good morning.
Good morning to you, sir.
How are you?
What's going on with your life?
You're doing all right? You hanging in there?
Yeah, we're doing okay. I was sick last week, getting over it now.
Brittany's sick this week. So, you know, it's got that thing that's going around.
Yeah, there's stuff. Thankfully, some of them are just kind of tiny colds and stuff.
You disappear. Your little bit disappeared from yesterday. I know you were thinking you might have something.
Yeah, and it poofed. It didn't do nothing.
Although Kim's not feeling great today, so maybe, I don't know. Who knows what's happening,
but my immune system seems to be insane. I will say this, though. I'm glad.
that your town isn't all turned over upside down and on fire after winning the Super Bowl.
Look, Seattle parties like civilized folk.
Yeah.
We obey the traffic laws.
We don't let any anyone's house on fire.
They just shoot fireworks.
It's mostly the thing.
And did you guys?
Did you, so I texted you the other night, but, you know, checking on them and show stuff.
But did you, was it like that?
It was like, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, b, shp, like all night.
Fireworks going on.
No, no.
My work started, like, in the fourth quarter and lasted for about an hour.
By, like, nine or ten at night, everyone was done.
Well, look at this.
My impression of Seattle is now it's, I already like the place.
Now I'm going.
Yeah.
That's even better, right?
Because they got to get up early.
They know that you get up early, go to that initial Starbucks and go throw and catch fish at pike market.
That's right.
They get things to do in the morning.
They don't have time to stay out late and lose.
Yeah.
And the only real beef I have with you people is that wall of gum.
F that shit.
Burn that down. Every city has a lot of gum.
It's so gross, man. People licking it and stop and get pictures of their tongue touching one of those things.
Nasty. Oh, all the time. It's so gross to me.
Not a fan.
Why I'm getting that content over TikTok or something, I don't know.
But on the first side, we have the troll, the Fremont Bridge Troll. Have you seen that, Scott?
No, you would love that thing. Tell me, is it like a sculpture or something?
A giant troll, and in its hand is a full-size Volkswagen Beetle.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, wow.
Awesome. It's so cool. Like, like, conquest.
And it's a concrete and permanent.
I can look this up.
What's it called again?
What bridge?
Not troll.
You've ever heard of the Fremont.
We have a troll in one of our bridges.
I mean, there are a lot of Fremont trolls in Vegas, but that's not what we're talking about here.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Oh, look at that shit.
In Vegas, the Fremont trolls live on the street.
Oh, this almost looks like someone, this is like someone will show you this and go,
I think it's AI, but check it out.
But it's not.
It's real.
Look at this.
There you go.
Oh, that's cool.
Look at that.
And there is a car.
There's a Voltwagon or something under there.
or a sculpture of one.
Yeah.
And then look at this person for scale.
That's a person.
That's a person.
That's a lady.
I don't like that.
So when you visit Scott someday, when you actually come visit Seattle,
I will.
The troll and we'll get our pictures licking that.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
I like the emu hair or emu,
emo haircut.
It's got.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
It's because the artist is really lazy and didn't want to do two eyes.
Yeah.
Yep.
Two hub caps.
That eye was really difficult.
think we'll just cover his other eye with hair.
This is cool.
Is this old?
Like, as old as...
Yeah.
Okay.
I admire this sort of thing.
Troll as old as time.
Parking there is hard.
All right.
Bill.
Bill.
Will.
It's good to have you here, man.
We're going to talk about what's going on in the world of the master maker, Bill
Duran, who, by the way, is running a very fun cosplay event at our nerdtacular event in June.
I'm very excited about that.
I want to point out that it's not a...
contest where we want to showcase everyone's costumes having an opportunity to do that and also wear
them all day which be really really great yeah we just want people to come play with us so yeah any
costume or a neat neat hat maybe if that's as much as you want to ever go to do it that's cool we just
want to see people showcasing their creativity yeah it's a showcase of fun and creativity not a
competition i was explaining that point to stephanie and a pets who was like well i kind of want to
cosplay is there going to be a cosplay thing i'm like yeah
Yeah, Bill is hosting this thing.
She's like, is it a competition?
I'm like, no, it's a showcase.
We want to love and appreciate everybody's cosplay,
not just, you know, not say,
well, this one's better than that one.
Yeah, we're not doing that.
We've never really made it like a super hardcore or anything.
We did.
One year we had a contest and after that,
we're like, you know, it would be more fun.
Exactly.
Because people are going to be more likely to do cosplay
if they don't feel like, well,
I'm not even going to get a, there's no way on to win.
I found probably half the people that enter a contest really just want to go up on stage.
They're not even competing.
They really just want a chance to show off their thing to everyone.
Yeah, sure, sure.
Everybody just wants a chance to show off their thing to everyone.
Yeah, that won't get captured out and used incorrectly by anybody.
Well, Bill, let's get to what's cooking over there this week.
What do you got going on?
So, Scott, you don't have any 3D printers yet, do you?
I had one that was a piece of garbage that was doing.
to me and we got rid of it, so no, I do not.
I'll see if I can fix that.
Brian, have you tried, done any
multi-material 3D printing yet?
I have not.
Now that I have my AMS and I have the ability
to do that, here's the thing.
I was going to do it. So I found out, like, I saw a video
of somebody who did
a combination of ABS and
PLA and used ABS for the supports
because they don't, they don't stick together.
So you just go, and the supports come right off.
But don't they have to be,
different, don't they have to be different heats?
Like, doesn't the heat have to be?
Yep.
Different temperatures.
So I bet the print, a print like that takes forever because of that, right?
So it depends on the technology.
I just got my first multi-material 3D printer.
So it's the only thing I want to think about right now.
Yeah, sure.
I'm with you.
Yep.
So normal 3D printers, there's the one print head and the filament gets pushed through it.
And if you wanted it to change colors mid-print, you could pause the print, you could pause the print,
unload the filament, load a new one in.
And you can do that, and I've done that before,
and there's some neat effects you can get that way.
But nowadays, you've got your AMS.
I've got the Prusa XL, their multi-material printer.
Yes, very nice one.
And they'll swap out the color or the material for you
based on the slicer settings and all that,
which is so crazy, crazy cool.
The XL that I have,
I should say the, I believe the AMS,
has just the one printhead and it
unloads it and loads it for you
and prints out of the same printhead.
Yeah.
The XL has five print heads.
Whoa.
So it's got separate printheads.
Oh, wow.
So it probably doesn't even have to do that dumb thing
where it does a little print tower
like to...
It does build what it calls a wipe tower.
Wipe tower, okay.
But it's not a purge tower
and it doesn't have the little poop thing
that it poops out the back like the bamboo printers.
So much.
so much poop.
Yeah.
So there are five printheads parked at the back of the printer.
Each one is loaded with a different material.
And each one can be maintained at a different temperature if it needs to be.
And it just sits there.
And then the gantry cruises over, picks one of them up, and then starts printing with it.
It is so much fun to watch.
It's really, really cool.
Sounds more like a robot than a printer these days.
Like something with arms and stuff.
That's cool.
Yeah, that's awesome.
So what's the like dream project you could make with a device like this?
I mean, well, right now I'm, I want to make a space helmet.
I'm, I always want to make a space helmet.
Of course, yeah.
The size of the machine is roughly helmet shaped.
And you could, in theory, just print the whole thing in its final colors right there on the bed, which is so awesome.
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
And so in theory, with this kind of thing, five printheads, Brian, or even like this, I've got this action figure.
this is too bad. Too bad. Too bad.
Yeah, which is stupid. But anyway, he's got karate punch.
Anyway, this guy's like 12 different color. It feels like he's of all these different colors.
You could, if you were printing this figure, you could do that, right?
You could just print the blue, the purple, the orange, all this stuff would come out the way you wanted.
And you wouldn't have to, well, I mean, you may still want to paint, but the idea is that you could do these colors.
You'd be done. Yeah. Yeah. And the, so every layer, it figures out which
part of that layer needs to be a different color and it just swaps out between that layer.
It does make things take quite a bit longer because, let's say I have five colors.
Every layer, let's say there's a thousand layers, every layer it needs to do five tool swaps.
Yeah.
Or color swaps.
And that takes like 10 seconds each.
So you're adding almost a minute to every layer.
And you have a thousand minutes.
It adds almost, or a thousand layers, it's a thousand minutes.
So we can't add a lot of time.
but there's something so cool about pulling something off the bed that's just almost done.
Yeah, that's awesome, man.
I can't wait to see what you got going.
You have any videos up yet of this thing working?
No, we're working on a big project right now with the folks from Prusa,
and that'll be out in a couple weeks, I think.
I really liked your sculpted flat and cast and rubber video.
Yeah, right?
I don't know why I like that one so much.
I don't think it's even that, well, seven days ago, so it's fairly new.
For whatever reason, that one got me.
I'd like rubber.
Can I put that out there?
That doesn't mean I like rubber in the way you sickos are thinking.
Rubber is a very useful material.
Yeah.
It is.
Highly versatile.
Not great for the environment, but if you're making something cool to keep forever, that's fine.
I like a good rubber, is what I'm saying.
Strong, sure.
So with your multi-material printing, Brian mentioned using like two disparate materials,
like PLA for your part and PETG for the support,
because they will not bond.
You can pop them right off.
But you can also mix rigid materials with flexible materials.
Like the TPU and ABS or PETG or something.
Sure.
And you can get prints that have parts that are only parts of them are flexible,
which can be very useful for a number of engineering solutions.
Yeah.
I got to get braver about, I've got a spool of TPU
and I just need to get over my fear of running it through.
because on my old printer
that was not AMS, I ran it through.
I guess is it, do they not
recommend it with AMS?
Like a TPU?
I'm not sure.
I do know that flexible materials
in the past have had trouble
with, um,
because you're pushing a rope, basically.
Yeah, with, um,
with, uh, Bowdoin style machines that,
that push like my, um,
I had an ultimaker and the,
the pushing gear is way back at the,
the back of the Bowden tube.
Yeah.
Most printers, as far as I know now,
that that happens at the printhead.
So it's pulling it in. It's not pushing
it. It's like pushing a
trying to push a wet piece of spaghetti
somewhere. It's a little challenging.
I got to get over my fear
and just do it. Yeah, go nuts.
You might get clogged. You might have to tweak the settings a little bit.
But once you get that dialed in, printing with flexible stuff
is really cool. Yeah, that sounds awesome.
Talking about multiple materials. I mean, it's all
PLA, but this red on aerolite has a transparent
like I'm using transparent red and black all in the same.
Yeah, but what colors are you using for your,
see, this is the joke, you're doing the red on airlight
and I was going to sound like I didn't hear it.
It didn't really work.
It's actually hard to do on purpose.
It's hard.
It's only easy to do by accident.
No, you need to say,
you know what you could do, Brian,
is a red on air light that does,
I'll see, that would have better.
We've got to just workshop how it'll come out.
But it's good that Bill's here for this,
because it's where it came from,
and now we're all.
A forced on air light.
Yeah, you can do it. It's a much better accidental.
It doesn't work very well.
Well, that's awesome, dude. I can't wait to see you make out of this thing.
Very exciting.
Bill always brings us a little extra something.
You want to throw us a link in the chat? What do you got?
For some reason, the chat isn't open. I can't find it.
Oh, we're in Twitch now.
Maybe didn't tell you that.
Twitch.tv.tv.com.
Although, if you want to put it in our Discord or anywhere you want, I can.
I'll just tell you that Alton Brown has started making videos on his YouTube channel.
and they're really worth watching.
I've been a fan of Alton Brown since Good Eats and all of his other shows.
I even met the guy at Comic-Con like 10 years ago.
But he started publishing new videos on his YouTube channel.
They're cooking tutorials and they are incredible.
I pull a lot not, I mean, cooking inspiration, obviously,
but video-making inspiration I pull from Alton Brown.
I wish I could be more like him.
I think you just, you like guys who just look like Adam Savage.
That's true.
He's kind of an Adam Savage like.
Yes.
He did a Valentine's Day video that's really funny and also really good.
When you're watching him as a person who presents to camera, he's so good.
Watch him talk.
He doesn't cut.
And he's relaying lots of technical.
information in a really good way.
He doesn't cut.
And it doesn't sound like he's reading from a script.
Whenever I have to read from a script in one of my videos, when I watch it, I can tell
that I was reading from a script.
You know what I mean?
Like, I'm just not that good at it.
He's the best at it.
So not only is it great for, you know, if you want to learn how to make really delicious
French toast for Valentine's Day, but from an empirical level on my end, he's just,
he's the man.
Nice. And this is like a new effort from him to like beef up his channel.
Yeah. It's just, I guess it's a new series. He's calling it Alton Brown Cook's Food.
Oh, okay. And it's very much in the style of good eats. If you ever watch that show, I watched all of them.
Yeah. You were obsessive if I recall.
Yes.
Well, that's awesome. Go check that out. And of course, Punished Props.com and the Prenished Props YouTube channel.
Yeah, that new video with our friend Christy is.
there. Oh, nice. Yeah, yeah, that looked out. The rubber, the rubber business is my,
also, you know what I love about it. If you hover over preview videos now, YouTube's, it's
relatively recent thing they're doing. When you hover over stuff, it will auto play a little
piece of it. Yeah. Not all of it, but just a snippet. And it looks like you're about to make a
plate of food out of rubber. Yes. So if you're looking for plates of food made out of rubber,
no dice, but you will find something pretty rad over there. So go check it out, everybody.
Bill, have a fantastic rest of your month.
I'm glad you're feeling better.
Tell Britt our best and we'll talk to us soon.
Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
Bill's up on the...
One hard time getting to the frog pants site.
What happens? Something's up.
Let's see. I was going to show the picture of Bill I put up there.
I can't...
Oh, it's a great shot, yeah.
Can't get it to load.
So apparently they make TPU specifically for AMS's,
like a TPU that doesn't get caught in an external...
AMS delivery unit.
It's not as soft, so it's less pliable than full-on rubbery TPU, but it's still somewhat
pliable, so that might be the thing for me to try.
I was going to say that would solve your issue.
TPU training wheels, as it were.
Yeah.
Fantastic.
All right.
One final quick thing here.
Actually, I got a couple things.
Yeah.
I have a very, what's supposed to be, this is from a fan.
Okay.
Ten question trivia sent to me by Barnabas Cheese.
That's what he says his name is.
all about the love boat.
Now, I know it's been a while since you were like binging the love boat.
We had talked about it.
Brian was a big fan as a teen, as a young and younger than a teen.
Sure.
Junior high-ish era, right?
That's about when that was on for us.
Whenever it was on, yeah, it was, we watched it brand new.
No reruns.
That's right.
It was on the love boat.
So I'm going to ask you these questions.
We'll be quick about them.
But I want you, I want to just see how you end up doing.
Cool.
So let me pull up the proper one there.
it is.
All right.
So, Brian,
let's see if Barnabas Cheese has any real stuff.
And he sent this to me in his typing,
like he didn't copy a link or anything.
I think he made this.
Yeah.
He might have written the questions.
All right,
Barnabas cheese.
So let's see how you do.
What was the name of the real-life cruise ship
most frequently used for filming the exterior shots of the Pacific Princess?
And it's multiple choice.
So for that'll help.
Was it the island princess?
Was it the Sun Princess?
Was it the Royal Princess or D.C.
Princess?
I'm going to guess, oh, I like Sea Princess.
I was going to say Island Princess before you said Sea Princess.
I'll choose Sea Princess.
It is Island Princess.
Your gut was right.
Should have trusted my big fat gut.
All right.
Let's see.
Next up.
Before becoming the ship's bartender,
Isaac Washington's character was originally written with a different occupation in the pilot.
What was it?
Was it B, Head Chef?
Or, sorry, A, Head Chef.
B, Activities Coordinator.
C, Cabanaboy, or D.
Stewart. Oh, God. Let's hope
Stewart. You are, hold on.
I lost my beeps. There it is.
You are correct. Oh, good.
Nicely done.
It'd be horrible if he was like, Cabana boy.
It's like, oh, dude.
Bad call. Don't do that.
Yeah. Before becoming, oh, no, there it is.
In 1977's pilot movie, Captain Merrill Stubing was not played by Gavin McLeod,
which actor originated the role. Was it A, Dick Van Patton,
B, Quinn Reddicker, C, Edward Asner, or D.
Head Knight. I think it was
was
it is enough guy.
Dick Van Patton.
Dick Van Patton sounds like the right answer.
But it's this Quinn Rediker guy.
The one name that is like, well, let's put in a name nobody's ever heard of.
And three people everybody's heard of.
Yeah.
Yeah, that one was a little.
Yeah, I should have taken that.
I think that proves.
I think that proves that our writer here did actually write these.
Yeah.
What was the name of Captain Stubing's daughter's mother who appeared in the episode where
Vicky is introduced.
Your options are Bonnie Bricker,
Gloria Swan,
Elaine Benson, or Natalie Draper.
Well, Bricker would have implied that she was
Doc's wife, so I'm going to rule her out.
What was the Swanson or Swan?
Gloria Swan.
Oh, no, that feels like he was just going to type
Gloria Swanson and decided to cut that one short.
It does too to me.
It's what I thought.
Elaine Benson and Natalie Draper, your other two.
let's go Elaine Benson.
All right, Elaine Benson, is it you?
It's Bonnie Bricker.
It was Bunny Bricker.
Tricky one.
But Doc was Bricker.
I know.
I think this is kind of, that one's kind of effed.
Yeah.
Which faith, and I didn't, by the way, I haven't verified any of these, so I don't know.
We're trusting that guy.
Barnabas Cheese.
Yeah, Barnabas Cheese.
Who can't, who, think of a name you wouldn't trust more in this world and you can't do it.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
the guy. Which famous artist painted the portrait of the crew that was featured in the opening credits of the final season?
Was it A. Leroy Neiman, B, Peter Max, C, Thomas Kincaid, or D. Andy Roy Hall. Andy Warhol.
Well, it's definitely not Peter Max. I would actually say it was the first guy that I've never heard of.
Leroy Neiman. Let's find out. Congratulations. You did it. Definitely not Warhol, not Peter Max.
You imagine Andy Warhol taking a break out of his busy art schedule to do that.
Hey, Mr. Rochall, do you mind doing a painting of the loveboat cast?
I'm doing Campbell's now.
I can't.
I don't have time.
Right.
All right.
What was Gopher's actual full name on the show?
You're going to know this.
Oh, I have to know this, yeah.
A, Burl, Gopher Smith.
B, Burl, Gopher Sherman.
C.
Burl Ivesmith.
Come on.
Come on, man.
If you really wrote these, don't be putting Burl Ivesmith.
in there. And finally, Burl
go for Mosley. That's
Burl Smith. Let's find out if that is correct.
It is. Nicely done.
Yeah. Burl eyes. I remember it was Burl right
off the top of my head. I'm like, oh, what was his
last name? But it was like, once you said Smith, it's like,
yeah, it was Smith. Now here's a weird one.
Let's see how you do here, because I didn't know this one.
How many pilot movies were made for the
Love Boat before it became a weekly series?
Oh.
Which is just more than one. More than one. Well, it may be
one if the answer is correct. I mean, I don't think he'd even ask the
question if it was just one.
but I'm guessing that's one of the choices.
It is A1, B, 2, C3, or D4?
When in doubt, go C.
C was three.
You would be correct.
Good call.
Is that a trick you use if you're going and doubt, go to C?
Yeah, when in doubt, go see.
I should have done that more in school.
My SATs look like a vertical line.
I would, I try to make shapes out of it.
Did you?
Yeah, little drawings.
Yeah, didn't go well.
I can tell you that.
in the final season
let's see a group of dancers was added
to the cast to perform musical numbers
what were they called a the princess players
B the love boat mermaids
C the Pacific Pixies or D
the ship shaped dancers
They were the mermaids
Let's see they were
A love boat mermaids
Nicely gunned
100% the mermaids
That's when they added
That guy who kills TV shows
To the
Oh yeah
What's his name
The Married with Children dude
Mick.
We talk about him all the time.
We do.
He comes up on film sack.
Ted McGinley.
Ted McGinley.
Ted McGinley.
All right.
And they added Terry Hatcher,
but she was one of the mermaids.
That's right.
She was, yeah.
And we liked Terry Hatcher.
And they were spectacular.
Yeah, they were.
They're still spectacular.
They're just about nine inches lower than they were before.
I don't know if that's even true.
I haven't seen her in ages.
I don't know.
know what's going on. Who am I to talk about boobs? I got a pair of myself.
Dr. Calhoun does not want us to slander, Ted McGinley. Okay. No, he is great in shrinking.
You know what? He's, he's redeemed himself and his whole character on shrinking is hilarious.
This like, yeah, okay, whatever, kind of like, uh, he gets a bad rap. He's a fine actor.
He does get a bad rap. And there are plenty of shows he didn't kill. Yeah, he's just unlucky with some
prominent ones. That's right. All right. Which crew, this is a penultimate question. Okay.
Which crew member was the only one to appear in every single episode of the series?
I feel like we talked about this once.
We probably did.
Including the pilot movies and specials.
So the whole freaking thing.
Played by the same actor throughout the whole thing?
Correct.
Okay.
All right.
I'm sorry.
Crew member.
Character.
Character.
So that's, I'm glad you distinguish it.
Yeah.
It's just the character.
So is it a Gavin McLeod of the Clan McLeod.
Okay.
So no, it is actor.
Okay.
Oh, I guess it is.
All right.
As the character of Captain Steuben.
Gavin McLeod of the Klamma Cloud.
B. Bernie Coppel, Coppel
of the doc. I think that's correct. I think Doc,
but we'll keep going. Ted Lange or Lang,
is it Lange? Yeah, Lang.
Isaac or D, none of the above.
I think
Dr. Bernie Coppell
appeared in every single episode.
It's not Cople. Damn it.
Correct.
Cople.
Imagine Ted Cople.
Actually, it kind of works.
It does. Yeah. He'd have been an okay doctor on there.
It would have been fine.
Yeah.
All right, final question.
I think you're actually doing really well.
This isn't as hard as our listener would make it.
It's not too bad.
Mr. Cheese, we'll call him.
What was the number of Captain Stubing's cabin?
So what number was on the...
Oh, 666.
No, let's answer the choices.
Number one, 601.
Number B, letter B, or B, Suite 700.
C, Sweet 101, or D, Sweet 502.
I want to say it's sweet,
101, but
gopher, please make your way
to sweet 101 for debriefing.
It was that nasal.
Gofer.
Transatlantic, because I don't think
he had that on the Mary Tyler.
No, not at all.
What was he doing?
I don't know, but gopher.
Gofer.
Can you and Julie?
Julie, please.
let's say sweet 101.
All right.
101, you say C, A, 601.
601.
Wow, few people in the chat got that one right.
I would have never gotten any of that right.
You did really well.
I didn't keep track.
Someone in the chat maybe did, but.
I probably got five.
I think you did pretty good.
I think you did better than 50%.
I think you did like, because there were 10 of those?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You did at least.
I think it's seven.
Oh, really? Okay.
Unless I'm looking at this wrong.
I might be.
Got mermaids, Bernie Capel, three pilots.
You should be proud.
Yeah. Should I be proud? Is this something to be proud of?
It's something to be proud of, yeah.
Loveboat knowledge?
Yeah. I feel like you're better when you know things about the love boat than when you don't.
Be ready then, an interticular for an entire category on Love Boat Trivia.
Can't wait. I am beyond my excited levels.
The Love Boat. Presented by the Love Boat Players.
This is about the jugs of pee.
You'll have to be stooping, clearly, because of that voice you do.
Clearly.
We got a note from Ian.
This is an old one now.
Ian, I have to apologize.
Ian in New York, I am sci-fi.
He sent this forever ago.
I think it may be as old as September of last year.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
But I get slipped through the cracks and I found it yesterday.
And I went, oh, why didn't we play this one?
So we're going to play it now.
This is one about coaches.
I put couches.
Coaches and communication with players, that kind of stuff.
I don't remember the context, but since we just had the Super Bowl, I think this is appropriate.
So let's talk baseball.
Here you go.
Hey, there's striking ball.
It's Ian.
I am sci-fi.
Just to answer your question real quick about whether or not there's a way for coaches or catchers to communicate with pitchers while they're on the mound without actually going out to talk to them, there is.
It's called a pitchcom.
And that's what they use to call pitches now.
as ever since the Houston Astros were caught with their pants down, cheating by banging on a trash can to wet their players know what type of pitch was coming at them.
Now they do it wirelessly, whether than actually calling, you know, balls and strikes using signs.
So it's called a pitchcom and they work until they don't.
and at that point they have to call time
and go get a new one and it takes forever.
But it works better than
these signs being stolen.
Love the signs though.
Talk to you a letter.
So when the catcher's
doing his little
whatever down by his glove,
they stopped doing that?
Is that a thing that ended?
I guess it's all done via pitchcom.
Hmm.
They have a catchcom on the other side?
Yeah, no, that's interesting.
I didn't know that.
This probably came up around the time
of, um,
Banana Ball.
Like when we were talking about the Savannah bananas,
I think that we were talking about that.
That was September-ish, wasn't it?
Yeah, seems like it.
Yeah.
Well, thanks for filming us in.
I had no idea, but I didn't know.
They had a little,
first I was like,
that sounds cheesy,
but then no,
it actually eliminates the cheating
because the two can talk still.
Yeah,
but it's still use.
Yeah, that's true.
And that way you can't see
what the other team is telling the pitcher.
Yeah,
which is what was getting stolen.
Yeah.
So yeah, it does prevent some cheaty, cheating,
banging trash cans.
I know.
You remember the, it's a lot like the,
who wants to be a millionaire.
Remember when there was a guy there that was coughing in the audience?
Oh, yeah.
Tell the person what letter.
Yeah.
What letter to choose.
I guess this was, this was that movie with,
Oh, Halb Hauser.
Tom Wems, Wems, Gams, or whatever his name was from Succession.
Oh, I thought it was, for some reason, Paul Walter Houser isn't that, no?
That was the, um, that was the,
press your luck.
Oh, I'm getting my game show biopics.
Mixed up.
Your cheetahe.
Your cheetahe game show biopics confused.
No, there was the one all about the coughing, uh, scandal.
It was more like a four episode mini series, but it was good.
It was actually really good.
Matthew McFadden.
That's right.
The guy's name.
Oh, we like him.
We do like him.
He was,
and it's wild.
Yeah.
It's wild to hear him with his real accent after watching so many seasons of
succession where, um,
where he doesn't have it
and then it's like this very
very strong British accent
oh yeah
oh dude
yeah it's really really weird
when I saw Bleaker Street
I saw that before I saw Succession
oh right he's on that
but he's so good on Succession
and then this recent
Death by Lightning I watched
the James Garfield assassination movie
he's in that
yeah amazing in that
and that thing doesn't get
some notoriety for something
it needs to there's so much good acting in it
But anyway, he was amazing in that, but he does such a great but also different American accent
that I'd forgotten that he can do the British, or that he is British, right?
Yeah, yeah.
So even though I'd heard it before, he's so good at the other.
He's so good at it.
You forget.
Yeah, man, that guy's awesome.
He's good in Wolverine, too, Wolverine and Deadpool.
That was awesome.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was the TVA guy.
Yeah, he was great.
Will Matthew McFadden be back in Avengers Dimsday?
That's the question.
Feels like it.
It feels like everybody is.
but yeah pretty much
I guess we'll find out
when is that out
is that summer
no it's uh
November
okay holiday season
it's basically like
um
one
one year from when the avatar
movie came out
and they started showing the
um
the previews with the countdown
so okay
okay that makes sense
do a big holiday bash
why not
uh guys we're about out of here
I'll come up before then. We got the Spider-Man movie coming out.
Oh, yeah. That's funny. You still have Wonder Man to watch and enjoy, mostly due to the incredible work of Trevor Slattery.
Gandhi, Gandhi, Ben Kingsley.
Gandhi. And we both thought Gandhi.
We both said Gandhi. We both worked our way to Ben Kingsley and Gandhi.
Oscar Schindler's helper.
That's right. Exactly.
He was in, for some reason, he was in species. We can remember all these things.
We can remember all these things. But, no, Wonder Man, don't sleep on, don't sleep on it.

Dunaway tonight at 4 p.m.
My understanding.
Sleep through it.
Yeah, bright.
Now I'm paranoid about it.
I don't know what I'm going to do.
I'm going to just be like hold my eyes open.
Just send the larb or something.
toothpicks of my eyeballs
I will
yeah I'll definitely be doing that
and we're gonna one of them is gonna do is that
weird reboot like that first
CG cartoon ever the reboot cartoon
do you remember that reboot yes I do
that was horrible it was really bad
I mean a lot of people love it but you look at it now
I remember being bad at the time and saying
this this is hard to watch that and
the and I loved Beast Wars
the Transformers thing but I didn't love
I mean it looked like shit
just so bad we've come so far
on just TV 3D animation.
The lowest level now looks good.
Even the shitty shit looks actually good these days.
I don't know what was going.
I mean, we have to do.
You've got to do something, I suppose.
But we're going to watch some of that and just have a great time.
So come watch and hang out with us.
It'll be 4 p.m. at twitch.tv slash frog pants.
Brian, you got anything else?
I know we have a song.
You got anything else going on to do that?
Oh, and I need to get out a soundography today.
I can't remember who our next episode is about.
It's either jelly roll or winger, one of the two.
Wow.
In either case, a great time will be had.
I mean, it's a giant canyon between those two guys,
or those two groups, whatever.
But I get, you know, either one is actually kind of great.
I go either way.
It'll be, listen, us talking about it, way more entertaining than maybe listening to all of it.
Anyway, let's get to our request here.
This one is going out to Chuck Gaskill, who I think, wait a minute.
Sounds like a real name.
Well, I thought it was, it is a real name.
A famous name.
Sorry.
No, but I didn't play him yesterday talking about the jugs of P.
Did I?
I don't know.
No, that was a different name.
It was a different name.
Yeah.
But we did talk about Chuck Gaskell because I thought, oh, you were thinking of Chuck.
It's the other.
Buyers.
Bires.
Chuck Byers.
Yeah.
Yeah. So two chucks in a row is what you've done.
I think it's a Chuck who called in about the jugs of P, but not Chuck Robinson.
That's the only chuck. I'm sure it's not.
Anyway, good morning, sketchy and benevolent.
I'm fast approaching my 50th trip around the sun on February 9th.
That was yesterday.
I've recently been on an Alanis Moriss set kick, and I'd like to hear cover of Crazy originally done by Seal.
You don't have to play it on February 9th exactly, but any day in February would be great.
Accredited altruistic Ackerman, remember, we're having to hear a little.
having people create a three-word, three-words sign-off.
He got the assignment.
Well done.
He did.
He says Chuck, not Amy's Chuck.
We got a few chucks, but that one is hers.
Accredited, altruistic acrimand.
He went for the alliterative, too.
Nicely done.
Very nice.
Yeah, crazy by Alanis Morissette.
She released this as a single, I believe, back in 2005.
Oh, no, it was part of a.
It was part of a CD that you could get at the Gap called Gap Favorite Songs Fall 2005 and marked the only time I've been in a Gap in the last 30 years.
And I even went and acted like I was looking at clothes so that they wouldn't think I was just there for the CD.
Yeah, I love that.
Yeah, I used to go there for sometimes their music compilations too.
Yeah, they had some good ones.
They're in Pottery Barn.
Of all places, Gap and Pottery Barn.
for buying music.
Yeah, and neither place for shopping for anything else.
Right, exactly.
Yes, who needs a divan.
Anyway, this is Seals Crazy, covered by Alanis Morset.
Search by the face.
Talks about the people.
The hunch out.
To see you in there for the signs and sleep.
Prapto.
What your face again.
