The Morning Stream. Tear out bad wood, put in Goodwood. Hello, one and all, and welcome to TMS. This is the morning stream for February 19th, 2026. I am Scott Johnson. That is Brian Ibbett. Yes, it's not Bobby. It's not TV's Travis.

It's Brian Ibbett. That's right. It's subbing in for, wait a minute, subbing in for Brian I guess. Yeah. You'd have to switch that around. It'd have to be months of those chuckleheads. Yeah.

You know, but having you back is the right thing at the right time. It feels like the right thing. It feels like I came back at just the right moment. Yep. This was the moment. Now, Brian is, you know, he's been pretty ill. You've said earlier, but we'll say it again. We said it in pre-show, but you're feeling about 90% you say.

That's pretty good. 90%. Basically, it's like the last 12 hours, really, last 18 hours have been. Just a quick ramp up. Like, even yesterday afternoon, I came down to do some works in freelance because it's like, well, shit, this stuff has to get done before I can close out the day. Yeah. So I took, I lifted the blanket off the couch. I got up, pushed the cat away, came downstairs, started working like, oh, my God, I'm getting, you know, dizzy and kind of foggy headed again.

I've got to, I've got to go back upstairs. And that was yesterday afternoon. And so when, you know, went back up, rested for a while. Another dose of antibiotics got up this morning and it was like a new, a new day. Those pills always mess with my guts when I take them. They mess with your guts. They don't, but they say it's one or the other. You either get the shit or you get the constipation.

It's one of the other. Yeah, you know, that hasn't happened. But Molly Fenton in our Discord said she recommends when you're on an antibiotic. she recommends taking a probiotic. And it just feels like, it feels like you're, you're supplying signs to both sides of the picket line. Yeah, I don't, I don't know.

With biotics. More biotics. It's a good point. I think that it, there's probably some argument about how the pro or the antibiotics are targeting in a certain way and the probiotics are just there to make your guts not lose their, their biome, you know.

I don't, I don't know how it works. It does, it does make sense. yeah, for sure. But I'm glad I did. I am having the first coffee I've had in about four days or three days, which is very nice. Oh my gosh, for you, that's unusual not to have a coffee. It's unusual.

I was strictly water and cranberry juice for the last few days. Good deal. UTI suck. Everybody? They do. Yeah. Not a fan. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Well, there's maybe one person I'd wish it on. I think he has one 24-7 anyway. He's just not saying. He's just so sedated. There's no way. there's no way that gap he's comfortably except he doesn't have to go anywhere I just does it where he sits is my thinking yeah

right exactly yeah and if you know we're talking about you know that's great I'm glad you're back I want to make a I need to make a shout out to an elderly lady who made my day yesterday in a behind the counter of a convenience store in a small town you're close

you're actually kind of close but not entirely okay so yesterday Kim and I went to lunch to R&R barbecue we had some credit it there. What's great is Kim was in charge of her brother's company Christmas party. And at the Christmas party, they catered it with R&R barbecue. That meant a ton of points. And he said, well, just keep the points on your card.

You have them. And Kim said, don't mind if I do. So she kept the points. And now we can go, we're probably, I don't know, we probably go another six times to R&R and not spend anything. Nice. Yeah, it's really good. Just go for free.

Excellent. And they have great. I like their food a lot. I think they do a good job and the roast chicken's really good in particular. But anyway, just barbecue fair, you know, all that kind of thing. So we go there. Normally it's just, you know, go up to the thing, tell them what you want. They bring it out to you.

You're done. There's this little old lady that works there. I couldn't see her. She didn't have a tag, so I never was able to get her name. I did send feedback to the company because she was so, she impressed me so much. But she was so awesome. Just this sweet, happy lady who doesn't need to be here. She's just doing it to keep busy, probably a widow, you know, doing just keeping herself busy and just being friendly with everybody.

It is the most delightful customer service I've experienced in probably years. Nice. She was so great. Every place in the world, every restaurant, every place of business should have this lady or one like her, like greeting or walking her ass. She's been something. It's funny to say that because there's a barbers. place that opened up over here called Mission Barbecue. Opened up in an old Ruby Tuesday location.

That's a shame. Not really. Yeah. No, not really. The only thing great about Ruby Tuesday was the salad bar and that's, you know, you can find a good salad bar anywhere now. Sure. But the same kind of thing.

There's a woman there who just heard her sole job is to just visit every table, make sure everything's going well. She's like, hey, are you done with that? Want me to throw that away for you? Can I refill your drink for you? Like all the things that, you know, you get up and do yourself at a sit-down, uh, casual, fast casual, uh, restaurant. All right.

She's there offering to do for you. And it's like, yeah. She's like, you look, look, looks like you're low on, uh, the, the Carolina barbecue sauce. You want me to grab you some more? I'm like, oh, yeah, that'd be great. Yeah. That's only bad when they farmer blow into the bottle and then seal it up and give it to you. Well, yes.

That's in the, uh, that's in the, uh, that's in the, uh, North Carolina style sauce. Yeah, right. That's how they, that's the, that stuff. Yeah, that's the natural. That's the natural way they do things down there. But yeah, there's something about it, and I love it. And to the point, and I never do this, I got on the R&R barbecue website, got the contact page up, and I sent this big long thank you letter to just say, hey, I don't know her name.

I said, here's the location. So if she can get a shout out or something, that'd be awesome. But she was just so great, and it makes me want to come back here all the time. Anyway, she was just great. So shout out to the R&R lady. Yeah, very cool. whose name I don't know. She looked like a, like a, like a Bethany.

Okay. Or maybe. Not quite an Esther or Mildred. No, not like that. Not that age. Not that age, but also she was shorter, very, very physically capable. But I could tell she was pretty old. Like, I think early 80s, honestly.

Oh, okay. But she was moving around like, you know, getting it done. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't know. An Ethel or a Mildred is more like, yeah, she might not need a full-on walker, but she probably has a cane. Yeah.

There's been some needs with Mildred. But Bethany was kicking ass. I'll call her that. She was great. Brian, we have some news on the subpoena front. You want to tell me what's going on there? Yes. So during this break, I got a call.

Didn't answer it, but it went to voicemail. A call from the subpoena, well, from the Denver County. clerk. Let me see if I can actually find the, there it is right here. Calling from Denver District Attorney's Office, hi Brian, this is so-and-so, I'm not going to dox him, calling from the District Attorney's Office. Looks like you said it twice. Just want to call in touch base with you about the case in regards to MZ. We had sent out a subpoena. I'm reading this verbatim from the text transcript of the voicemail. We had sent out a subpoena for you to come testify in this case. Please note that February

27th date was sent in error. You do not need to be present for that one. You will need to be present on the March 4th trial. Oh, the trial. The trial. This is going to be like a show up, sit in a conference room. They're going to say,

did you take this video? Yep. Okay, then. And then they're going to let me go. This is too much Fargo, apparently. Do you even have to stay? Do you know if you have to stay? I don't know if I have to go on a stand or something, but we'll see. Oh my gosh. Wow. Yeah. This is going to be very. very interesting.

Oh, here's a photo of the judge in charge. Oh, thank goodness. He's out of order. You're out of order. This whole court is out of order. Chairman McDooge. Oh, Mr. Doge.

Dodge, whatever it is. Wow. Okay. So that's different than like a closed room Q&A or whatever. Yeah, but I certainly can't imagine. This is not like a high profile of case. I doubt there's going to be like a,

you know, an audience full of gasping attendees who, uh, are you saying this isn't the, trial of the century, Brian. It's not the trial of the century. You know, the DA's not going to point to the back of the room and say, let me call a surprise witness, Mr. Brian Ibit with his dash cam footage.

Yeah, no, it's going to be interesting, though, because you're now going to see it, you're going to see the full meal deal, right? I'm going to see the dude, because I didn't see him because we parked on the opposite side of the ramp, and there were already people going over to his car to see if he was okay, and there were cars between me and them still coming onto the ramp so and it's a blind curve so it would have been dangerous for us to go over so i'm like well i get to see what this guy looks like not that you know not that i'm going to say oh that's exactly what i thought he'd look like are you you think he'll stare you down or anything if you if they do call you and have you pointed out or anything i don't know

you know there's a thought like uh you know it could be he could be really pissed off that there's video of him doing the things that he did. Yeah. You could be the nexus of his problem. Otherwise it would be hearsay. Yeah. You could have been the reason he's all in, you know, in his mind anyway. Like what he should be worried about is that he you know, screwed up and broke the law.

That would be better. But yeah. All right. Well, we'll see. On a completely different subject, anyone know I can get a decent looking wig and some, I don't know, some Groucho Marx glasses and you should get one of them nylon pullovers that look like a dude. Finley.

Have you seen that? They're kind of transparent. No. No. Oh, you got to see these. They actually are wild how these work. Let's see if I can find out. It's like a mask kind of thing.

You pull over your face and it looks. Yeah. So basically it's a, you know how robbers in the old day? I'll take these huggies in any cash you got kind of. Yeah. They were a balaclava. Yeah.

Or in that case it's just somebody's nylons, right? So you kind of can sort of see their features through the nylon material. Yeah. It's like that. But it's like, I don't know. Oh, it's got a face printed on it? Somebody's face. Usually it's like Walter White or something.

See if I can find it because they are absolutely crazy how they change your face. Here's one. Okay, so this is a LeBron James one. Oh, my gosh. This is great. I have no. And if you pull that over, it will make you, you may not look just like LeBron James, but you will stop looking like you.

But the protrusions of your nose and your chin. everything lined up perfectly with that. Oh, God. Yeah, I can't find any way. Somebody's actually, like, walking around him, and that's the real ticket here. I'm getting such a Buffalo Bill vibe from this stuff. Yeah, it's really odd.

So, where's another one here? Is this guy now this guy's? Are these all on Amazon that you're finding? Yeah, you can get them on Amazon. You can get them on. You can get these pretty much anywhere. Team who's got a ton of these. They should put the glasses like, oh, geez.

You can go smack a kid's bud, but as Michael Jordan and they'll all think of time. So, yeah, I don't know. I don't know if that's not a thing you'd want to do. It would be pretty funny, though. Oh, my God. And they don't, some of them have lip holes. Some of them don't.

So you could have, you know, or you get one of the, there are the rubber ones where you look like an old man or whatever. Oh, sure. Like the traditional, like the do do do do. Yeah, that guy like that. Yeah. Just like that or like Johnny Knoxville. I'm already borderline. I'm already starting to look like that guy.

So, you know. And just tell people, you know, this is just a thing. Can I put in a little voice. changer in there. So it was like, yes, I actually did a record video. Yeah, you should do that. Then you're protected the whole time. Yeah, maybe, maybe I don't need one that makes me look like Michael Jordan just like completely shadows me out, like black. Yeah. Like not blackface, but completely black. Yeah. Yeah, we don't want black face. I would get you in more trouble. So here's an example of a lady. Oh, wow. She's wearing some kind of. Wait, which one is the mask?

This one, this one on the left. I hope. I really hope that that's. the mask. Or not, you know, she may be, I don't know, what her deal is. Just don't show up in this. Here, this is a bad, this one's a bad idea. Okay. I want it open. Oh, here it is.

Don't, don't wear this. Oh, my guy, that guy's still there. Hold on. It's not how it's supposed to be. There you go. Don't wear that. Yeah, I mean, you're, oh, geez. Yeah, that's your, that's a really weird one, too.

That's, that's your, like you had to make the aisles, eyes bigger for peripheral vision, I guess. It's got a real eyes wide shut. It's that, what is it, the strangers? Is that the, uh, oh, I don't know. The movie where it's like the people show up at the person's house. Oh, yeah. Burglars show up wearing stuff like that and then tie everybody up.

Naomi Watts? Maybe in the first one. Then later it was people we didn't know in the sequels because the movie didn't do very well or something. Yeah, never seen any of them, but, uh. Saw the first one. I don't think it was very good. Okay.

I thought it was kind of good. I've heard. That's, you know, if I was going to start. The third one just came out a couple weeks ago. Yeah, I saw a trailer for it, and then I went and checked the Rotten Tomatoes, and then it said like 11%. And I said, I guess I'm not seeing that. I will avoid that.

I'm waiting for primate. That's what I want to see when it comes home. I made, yeah. I didn't check, actually. I should see if, I think it's rentable. Good luck don't die at the Alamo. Oh, yeah. At my alim.

Remember how I was going to try to see that while I was out of town? It wasn't showing anywhere there either. So I don't know what's going on. that movie. We couldn't catch it. I can go to my theater tonight and see it at 8 o'clock. Good luck. Have Fun. Don't Die. That's the only thing in theaters I really care about right now. Really is. How to Make a Killing. Oh, how to make you killing I'm interested in. Glenn Powell has to kill seven relatives to receive. Oh.

Okay. Sorry. As soon as I saw, oh, how to make you killing with Glenn Powell. I'm like, I feel like I've already got tickets for that. Yeah, and you do. And I do for 6.30 tonight. Yeah, you do want to see that. It turns out. Apparently, I've already bought tickets for How to Make You Killing for 630 to night.

So I guess I'm going to the movies tonight. I also hear the new Sony ImageWorks movie Goat is supposed to be pretty good. Thank goodness. You reminded me. Yeah, you're going tonight, man. Except it's like, dang it. Good luck. Have Fun Don't Die is also playing there.

What do you hear about this Crime 101 business? This is supposed to be good? I don't know, but I love the cast. Yeah, look at this. You got your Chris Hemsworth doing American voice. You got your Mark Ruffalo. Hallie Berry. Hallie Berry. I keep wanting to call her Holly Berry, Mark Ruffalo.

Nick Nolty. Yeah, Thor and the Hulk. Yeah. And Future potential Joker with Barry Kuggan, Kikkiy. And then you got your catwoman. and Lee. Everybody's from something.

Everybody's from something. Who's this? Oh, Free Rangers saw it. Crime 101 was fun. What's, nothing spectacular, but a good time at the movies. Keogun?

Claire? I've never said it. Kagan. I don't know how to say it. Well, Claire is saying Keogun, because he is Irish. He's, uh... Yeah, very Irish.

He's one of those panches of Inishireen. Yeah, and then he drank that bathwater and ruined my image of him forever. Thank God I didn't see that movie Salt. What was it? Salt burn.

That movie. I regret seeing it. I hated it. I'm definitely not seeing it now. I really hated it. And look, I like those actors. Everybody involved in that movie is great. Holy shit.

What a, what a, I hated it. It's not good. But I'm, I've said this on the show before. Nick Nolte, late career, Nick Nolte. Old guy, Nick Nolte. My favorite Nick Nolty. Yeah. Oh, man.

All those drugs have had that. their way with him. He's moved on from all that. I even think, what was it? Down and out in L.A.? No. Down and out Beverly Hills. Yeah. That's the first time I'd ever heard, this is not buy a beautiful car or whatever. That song they used in that movie. No way. Really? Was from that? Yeah. Oh, wow. I don't know if it was from it or if they just bought it. They just used it in there because once in a lifetime. My tracking heads came out in the mid-80s, 84, 85. Yeah. More songs about buildings and food, I think.

First time I ever heard it, though, was in that movie. And it was the first time I went. I think I might like the Talking Heads. But I also like to burn the house down and stuff. It's all good. That is the first song I ever heard by the Talking Heads, but I didn't, I saw it as a video. I didn't hear it like on the radio.

Like the first time I saw it was sing the music video where David Byrne is like, this is not my beautiful house. This is not my beautiful wife. You know, he's got his glasses. on 1980 for that one. Okay. Earlier than I thought.

Wow. Yeah, that's a great song. Anyway, there's things in the theaters. That's Remain and Light then. I thought it was a later album. The important thing is that this thing... Remainting Light is such a great album. This thing is getting good reviews.

So if you want to see Crime 101, it seems like it'd be all right. What are the reviews looking like for the one I am seeing? How to Make a Killing? That is... On My List. Why? How to Make a Killing.

Where is it? Rotten tome toes. It's not showing up. Oh, 57% is what I'm saying. Okay, well. All right. Too late to switch. Actually, probably not too late to switch, but.

Yeah, you got a couple options if you decide to. Yeah. Sounds like this may not be all that great. Oh, we'll see. It's close to half. It's close to fresh. Right. It's a little, yeah.

you know what okay do we have time for me to talk about something else yeah do it why not I mean we got news I also started watching over the break because Tina wanted to see Tina and I both wanted to say because we're big fans of Tim Robinson think he's

kind of the king right now of cringe comedy um his his show Detroiters with the dude from Veep is there's nothing like it it's so freaking good But he has a new HBO series called The Chair Company.

And it's about an office worker whose chair collapses and he all of a sudden goes, he gets obsessed. That's a Tim Robinson thing. His characters become obsessed with something. And to a point where he's cringy about everything. And Tina made it through exactly three episodes of the Chair Company. It's a little intense, right, is what I've heard. It is. It's a little intense.

it really does some funny. I mean, it's very, very much a Tim Robinson. This could have easily been a, what was the, the sketch show that he did. No, not great job. That's a different. Tim Robinson sketch show or something like that. It was before, let's see, I forgot the name.

It was before Detroiters. Detroiters is my, I think you should leave. That's it by all right. That's Netflix deal. with Tim Robinson. It could have easily been like just a throwaway single skit bit and it just gets extended and just keeps going and keeps going. And I've got two or three episodes left and I'm trying to figure out if I want to watch

it or not. It's highly regarded. People really like the show. I know. It's got critic reviews 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Yeah, and get better than that. And I'd check to make sure it wasn't just one. one critic who liked it and was the only person who

reviewed it but boy it's it's there's some intensity to it and a frustration level of the character for me that that is hard to hard to enjoy if I get really frustrated by the the character I'm supposed to really feel for then it's hard for me to watch I don't know if that's why he was fired from S&L or if it was something else oh I forget I keep forgetting he was a writer a writer and then the featured yeah

for a hot second. For hot second. Like one season as the featured, also featuring. It may not even been a whole season, I'm not even sure. Ashley Padillo, Tim Robinson.

Yep. And then that was it. He was like, I'm doing my own thing. And he's done just fine. He was too, he's done just fine. Yeah, he's like,

he's like Norm MacDonald. He was, his star was too bright for that sky. That's right. It was, yeah. Gotta get out of there and do your own thing. Get fired and leave.

That's right. All right. We'll do some quick news. and then we'll get ready to us. We're going to have Bobby come in. Wendy's gone. She's with her friends in, what do you call it, in Arizona with the Joshua Tree, Arizona. Oh, really?

Wow. They're doing their yearly thing. I hope she finds what she's looking for. Which streets have no name. Yep. I've used multiple YouTube jokes on her and she was annoyed by all of them. So it's all been great. But this is her and her friends, their high school friends, they do a yearly thing.

And this is this year they're doing some kind of. cabin thing out in the middle of the desert. They're super stoked about it. Anyway, that's why she's not here today, but normally she would be. Let's get to quick news here. We have some news to discuss, and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by Coverville. Shortly after TMS ends today, there will be a Coverville, and we're going to be celebrating

the music of a guy named Otis Blackwell, and you're going to say, ah, Brian, you pulled some weird names out of the ether in the past. I don't know, Otis Blackwell. character that you're talking about. Well, you know, songs like All Shook Up and Don't Be Cruel by Elvis Presley. You know songs like fever by Peggy Lee.

You know songs like Daddy Rolling Stone by the Who or Breathless by Jerry Lee Lewis or Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis, for example. This is the guy who wrote or co-wrote all of those songs. And one of the most prolific songwriters passed away

back in 2002. He would have been 95 this week. But it's a good time to celebrate the music that he wrote. And because I want to focus on those hits, I've got an extra set

to play at the end, and it's going to be all covers of and by MGMT. So, you know, the song with all the kids screaming called kids. Kids.

Yep. Kids. Yep. And the kids are going to be okay. And you know, falling on your knees for it. Yeah. A family of trees wanted.

I like that song. That song's good. Yeah. I'm into it. All right. I watch for that right after the show today. It'll be right after this. Twitch.tv slash Coverville.

Very nice. Let us tell you about this story. Italy's famous lover's arch has collapsed into the sea. And it did it on Valentine's Day. We'll see. If it's going to happen, that is the, that is the appropriate time for it to happen. And get ready for some sweet pronunciation of some Italian words.

Here we go. The famous arch of the sea stacks at Santa Andrea in Melendongno, Puglia. Italy. I know that one. Yeah. I'd say 80% correct on that one. Pretty close.

Popularly known as Lover's Arch collapsed on Valentine's Day after a strong storm surged and heavy rain swept across the sun. southern part of Italy. The Rocky Arch, one of the best known natural landmarks of the Adriatic coast, got its names that served as a backdrop for the wedding proposals, selfies, and postcards, and was one of the most recognizable symbols of Salento, one of Italy's most heavily visited tourist areas. Quote, it's devastating blow. It's a devastating blow to the heart. They said in their most annoying, possibly racist, not racist, insensitive accent. Typical, yeah, right.

Culturally insensitive. The mayor's name is, this is from him. He's Marizio Cisterno. Oh, so close. Cisterno. Cisternino. Cisternino. One of the famous, sorry, one of those famous tourist features of our coastline

and one of the whole of Italy, or sorry, and the whole of Italy has disappeared. We must just save it to princess, he said at the end. Calamia, when you speak Italian morticia, the things it does to me. I mean, you know, it's my second language. Nature has been overturned. What existed 30 years ago no longer exists. We must find the resources for an organic intervention.

He says, I'm not sure what that means, but okay. It says it's like a funeral. An organic, organic intervention. Yeah, I mean, appropriate. That feels like something that just got poorly translated. I agree. This is some, this is some. the guardian doing their best.

It's like it probably really is, we got to clean up after this, but it translates into English as, we must find the resources for an organic intervention. Yep, yep. I think it came off different. Well, let's stay in Italy for one more story. Okay.

In Milan, they have restocked the Olympic condoms. Thank goodness. Jeez. The black market price has hit an all-time high of $100. Now, I don't know if that's per condom. or per box of condoms. I don't know. So wait, wait, wait, what, like the Olympians are paying $100 for condoms?

Yeah, because they went through them. Here's the deal. So they had, when they started. I knew that they were running out. I thought they're selling them on eBay because they've got Olympic labels on them or something. They had, let's see, they had previously reported, the game organizers ordered 300,000 condoms. That's 30 condoms per athlete.

What are you? people doing on your downtime? Well, I think we know. I mean, it's clear what they're doing on their downtime. I guess so. One another. Just blowing them up, making animals out of them. Is that all that's it? Uh, exactly. Uh, this time around, uh, out sports is previously. Yeah. The, the American, uh, the American, uh, ladies curling team. I got to say, uh, above a hubba. Yeah. 10,000 condoms were ready for the 2800 athletes competing in these winter games and already, uh, let's see, it's already, too much. They already got, they're already out of them. They ran out. They literally ran out. if you could get yourself a condom in Milan, Italy, during these Olympics, as a young, you know,

competitor, you would pay $100 for the privilege because that's what the black market condom rate is. I wonder they could probably just Uber eats some more condoms, right? Like just. Yeah, I wonder if like the whole city is like no, no condoms. If it's every, like every convenience store is out. You know, if they're smart, that's probably what some enterprising kid is doing. He's like, he's going to all the convenience stores and buying up all the condoms and selling

them to the to the Olympians like you say for 100 bucks each is probably why these this where this black market figure comes from yeah I love this idea the the great thing about this is that it gives so many new sites a chance to arrange five condoms of multiple colors in the shape of the Olympic rings because nobody's ever thought about doing that before and oh yeah got to be new right yeah yeah no chance that's a thing somebody's done yeah yeah I get you're all in the prime of your life. You're all incredibly athletic and horny. I get it.

Full of endorphins and energy and hot. Maybe slow your role though, you know, just a little. Maybe, you know, the ones that brought their parents along, they're probably a little less. Well, probably, yeah. I think those are the ones who may be doing 60. Used up 60 condoms compared to like the, you know. Oh, man. I also love the idea.

I went to C.V. Yes. They out of a condoms again. I mean, how do you think the quad god got his name? Yeah, that's a good point. Use four of them at a time. That sounds right. Well, there's your news. Hope you enjoyed it.

It's a triple axle. Yeah, there you go. It means a whole different thing these days. Hey, you guys, guess what? We're going to do a little something fun here. I even made a little thing for it. See if I can find where I put it. Oh, here it is.

310 to Yuma? Yeah, man. Good news. We're going to talk about. nerd tacular. That was the sound of nerdtacular 2012 happening. And if you think that sounds like fun, just imagine what 2026 has in store.

And we have on the line with us, programming director. He's our Julie. He's our Julie McCoy. He's our Julie McCoy, which he may not even get the joke. He's a millennial. I don't know how much of the love boat you saw, Bobby. Have you seen it? I'm aware of the love boat, but I've never

seen it. And you know who, do you know who Julie is? No, well, I'm assuming she's the cruise director. She's the drug-addled cruise drug. Yeah, and keep that in mind because the real actor had serious drug issues. So don't fall into the Julie McCoy trap. The character didn't. Nobody on that show, except for excessive womanizing is the only flaw that these characters had.

But, uh, yeah, they were, it was, there was never a very special episode of the loveboat where they had to get dock off heroin or something. No, no, they never did. Did they ever have a drug addicted like a passenger or something though? No, you know, I don't think so. I don't think that they kept it so freaking sanitized. They might have had an alcoholic. Yeah. That was back in an era where people were so afraid, adults were so afraid that if you even,

if you even whispered the word drugs around your children, they would become addict. Yeah, that's true. Exactly. Even talking about it, which is it turns out, talking about it was a great way to I can only speak from experience, but talking to my kids about that stuff openly, pretty sure that's what kept them away from it. Because they just were like,

they got it, they understood it. Also, sex. Talk to your kids about sex when it's appropriate, age appropriate. But talk to them about it. The more you hide it, the more they're going to get curious, the more they're going to go behind your back.

Don't do it. Talk to them. Be a part of it. Watch Breaking Bad with your kids. I don't know where that went. Hey. Well, maybe not. Bobby, I know you were just here yesterday

sitting in for Brian, but it's time to have you back because it's a very different reason today. We're going to talk about stuff at Nurtacular. You've been working on panels and who's on them and what those are going to be. Oh, yeah. All that stuff. There's some things that are, you know, we know what they're going to be. A live film sack is what it is.

If you've been to previous events, it'll follow a similar pattern. Live TMS. Brian and I have all covered. Brian's got everything to do with the All-Star stuff. And that's going to be a huge part of the whole first or of the two full days, massive part of it. Yeah. It's like it ends the first day

and then bookends the second day. Yeah. It feels a little bit like it feels a little bit like and maybe this is just because I'm helping with planning everything so I have a skewed perspective but it feels a little bit like

the entire nerdtacular is just dressing for all stars. In some ways it is because it's like where they all come together to fight. You know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. you introduce your players

during like the core live and daily tech news and and then and then you just put them all against each other in a ring and turn up the heat basically. Yeah, yeah. But in all seriousness, I think it's because that's the thing

that takes the most stuff. Most people are going to be on stage. There's most stuff like that. But we have a lot of other cool things happening. Oh, yeah. Lots of really cool things. Some things that I've tried to throw into make things a little bit more interesting, but I say more interesting. That's the wrong word.

I've never been doing nerdtacular before myself. They're always interesting. I don't know. Always interesting. I'm sure it's not necessarily more interesting. It's just interesting. Yeah. And also, it's key to note here that I usually, I'm terrible at delegating. I'm horrible at it. So what I usually do is just do it all myself. And that is literally tantamount to taking years off your life. don't do that to yourselves people. So one of the nice things here is Bobby swooped in with some real ideas as well. For example, I want to put all our eyeballs on, there it is, on Saturday. There is, whoops, there is an event called Mental Plus Medical Plus Science Panel.

And you might think, well, what the hell is that? Well, that's, look who we got up there. Look at these amazing people. I'm going to moderate that business. You're going to have Wendy, my sister, mental health professional Wendy Dunford. of the Dunford donut fortune. Dr. Jerry Tolbert, practicing physician and all around good dude.

Dr. Nikki Ackermans, she's gonna, you know, she knows what goats are up to, plus a whole lot more. And Bobby, the story about Cloacas, that's for sure. Exactly. Kissing Cloacca, she knows all about it.

And then you got your Bobby Frankenberger, Mr. Science himself. Can you imagine a more action-packed hour and, well, about an hour than that? No, you can. And for that, you're going to basically have people, you know, get up to a microphone and ask a question and stuff like that. How many of those questions do you think are going to be, does this look infected? Yeah, right.

Yeah, you know, especially with Jerry there, I think there's going to be a lot of that, you know. Sure. If my wife, who's a pharmacist at a CVS, if her experience in the pharmacy is in any indication. And she's not even a medical doctor. Like, she's not even here. Oh, my gosh. I can't imagine the, the, the, obviously. awkwardness of people like asking her,

uh, what do I do with this? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Is this normal? Yeah. They, they lift up their shirts and they pull their waistbands down a little too low and

Oh, geez. Yeah. Really? Is that a thing people do? They'll be like showing you your at the pharmacy. But, um, yeah,

we're going to do Q&A at that panel for sure. But that's something that I'm in the, in the middle of right now is with all of these different panels and these different groups of people doing things. I'm coordinating with them. right now saying, okay, what is it that we're going to do? Some of them are easy, right? Like, if you're going to have a live film sec, that's a tried and true thing.

You guys know what you're doing. Yeah, we don't know what movie we're doing, but we know what we're doing when we do that. Yeah, I do have a couple of ideas that I'll throw, that I want to talk to Brian about first, then we'll toss it to the other guys, but I have an idea. Actually, Hammond had an idea, and it sounded good, so I think we might. Oh, I know. Okay, then I think it's the movie. Do you know the movie? I think so, because you and I talked about it after Hammond recommended.

He recommended it at lunch, right? Yeah. You had with him? Yeah. And if he's, if I'm right, that it sounds perfect, then I think that may be the one. I think it might be. Yeah. Yeah.

It sounds awesome. The cool thing is that all of you guys who attend Nerdtacular get to be there in the room while it's happening. And so that's the cool thing. With this medical science and mental panel that Scott was just talking about, we're in the middle of figuring that out. We're going to definitely do some Q&A. Absolutely. People want to be there to ask people like, like Wendy and Tolson. Albert questions.

And Dr. Nicky, Dr. Nicky, why does my goat do this? Yeah. Is this normal goat behavior? Why is my goat budding heads with other goats? Does this part of my sheep look infected too? Yeah, yeah. Tell me because my sheep doctor is no help, Dr. Nicky.

Yeah, no, she's going to be great up there. She's also just smart and awesome. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, Nikki is amazing. I'm glad that we added her to that. But we're also trying to make it so it's not just. Q&A. We want to, we're trying to come up with like a little discussion that we can talk. So we're working through that right now. What's what's relevant to the event and that will also intersect

with all of our expertise. So that's going to be a really, really fun one. What I'm really excited about is something that I don't think has has been done at least not to this extent at a nerdtacular before, which is we're going to have this whole. And I'm still working out the details. I think I messaged Brian to ask if he would be willing to at least bounce some ideas off of for this, maybe not necessarily do the work. But we're going to do it like a constant, like all the time. It's basically like a scavenger hunt slash photo quest slash something that people can do the whole time while they're there. Oh yeah. I think it's a brilliant idea. There's a couple of forms of this, by the way. My daughter's also going to do these. What do you, what do they call the badges that you

stack on top of each other on your on your thing that you collect. The little sticky line badges. Yeah. And soon I'm going to need to talk. I will want to talk to her about that because I would like to see what she's able to help me with to add to this scavenger hunt. Absolutely.

Do you really need to do something on those badges so you're kind of collecting them like a scavenger? Yes, very much so. I saw you pick up a piece of trash. Here you get an automatic picking up litter ribbon. Yeah, there'll be some that are rare. And then some that are. You bought in a drink at the bar.

You get one of these ribbons. There's a lot of those. I think if you buy Brian a drink and if you buy Bobby a drink, you get ribbons. Oh, you have to do the two. Okay. And if you buy Scott a drink each and then you also get another one for both of them. Oh, for the pair. Okay, great.

I'll have those printed up this week. Yeah, if you buy Scott a drink, you messed up because I don't drink. But you can try. You can try. I was going to say the... It's a Coke. Or ideas. Some of these will be rare.

Some of these will be common. some of them will be baseline like you'll open your swag bags and they'll be in there but there'll be lots of ways to get them and we're going to go nuts on like some of the memes around various shows and stuff it's going to be cool so so that combined with scavenger hunting plus just fun like things to keep in mind the whole time you're there is going to be that stuff's going to be rad i'm excited because again the whole the whole thing is it's a community event right and it's especially community centric being a frog pants community event because that's frog pants is all about the community. Right. It's the whole point of doing this. There's no other reason. You guys,

I'll be lucky if I break even. And that's enough. It's enough. We just want everyone there. We want all the people there. We want the community to find a place with each other and have that again and not feel like there's pressure or anything weird. It's just going to be great. It's just going to be all the stuff you love and then more. And none of the stuff you don't. No, none of the parts you don't like, whatever those happen to be. And I can officially make the announcement. Oh, here we go. Breaking news. Breaking news.

This has not even been released anywhere else yet. So you're hearing it for you guys are even hearing it for the first time. Uncle George and Aunt Barb are going to make it to Nurtacular this time. It's going to be their first Nurtacular. They previously went to one TMS Vegas and they loved it. But they're going to be there for, they're going to see the, the, it's like saying, oh, yeah, I've been to a local. one room comic convention at my local

holiday inn. So I know what San Diego Comic Con is like. No, it's a completely different experience. Right, right. And you mean the Vegas experience versus this? Yes, the Vegas experience is like the, I'm in a little room at the holiday inn where there's a couple of guys selling comic books and action figures compared to the actual Comic Con. No, I'm not going to discount T. MS. Vegas that much.

But anyway. And so Uncle George and Aunt Barb, and I think Uncle George is committed to being my scorekeeper for All-Stars. We can count on that. He's got trivia scorekeeping experience, so we don't need to have Carter and Tristan flipping numbers on, you know, laminated signs behind the teams. And I'm working on the real Chris Brown.

Oh, we'd love to see him there. be making it to Nurtacular as well. The whole, the whole, uh, uh, Ibit posse. Yes, exactly. Yeah, and Tina, of course. And Tina, of course. Yeah, of course. How about Tristan?

Are you coming? You know? No, he's, uh, right now working two jobs. And I think between those two, he's not going to be able to get the time off. I'll be lucky if I see Nick there because of the same situation. Man, I'll tell you what. They really stuck these freaking Jen Ziers with a shit, uh, operas. It really did. And rent that's too damn high.

That's all, that's the whole thing. They're there, they have a place that is a dump that is like 1,200 a month and it's the cheapest they could get. She's. What are we doing to these people? I know. A whole generation, man, disenfranchised. What are you going to do? Anyway, come be franchised in June. Yes. Hopefully a future event, Tristan and Kay will make it too so everybody can meet Tristan's new wife because she's, she's wonderful.

All right. Well, there you go. Bobby. Any other thoughts, feelings? How do you feel like we're, how do you feel good about where we're at right now as far as preparation? I feel comfortable with where there's definitely more work to be done. I am, I'm a, I'm a big contingency planner and a big like making sure I have all the ducks in a row and then and then plan for different rows for them to be in in case they won't be in this row. so there's a lot of work to be done for me but I feel good about where we are everything feels like it's coming together nicely oh I'm really also excited about so this is kind of I just forgot but uh is we're gonna on the Friday night after all the events are over we're going to do um sort of a pub of frog pants themed pub trivia where people can get together and I think I'll probably end up being on the stage for that asking questions and um

and doing that and people will get to try to, you know, like pub trivia style, write down their answers. And you guys know what trivia is. Yeah, we know how it works. Yeah. And it will be related to frog pants stuff. It'll all be frog pants related stuff. I love it.

Right. Yeah. We're going to. And history of the hosts and histories of shows. What was the first movie that FilmSack ever reviewed? That's right. Right. I could tell you now, but I won't because in case that one's on there.

I don't want to exactly. I don't want to give anything away. Yeah. You got to start studying your frog pants. So when you get over to the, I'm showing this to the live chat room, if you're listening only, get over to Nerdtacular. Sorry, that's not the way you go anymore. Go to FrogPants.com, click Nerdtacular. And in there, you will see the schedule. You can look at Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and see what's going on. It's all laid out in its current form. It may change. There may be a few tweaks here and there. We don't know. But for the most part, I think it's pretty solid. I think it's pretty locked in. And we look forward to it greatly. And don't forget all the amazing faces we're going to have there. Liam O'Brien joining us this year. I'm so excited. about that. Tom Merritt and Brian Abbott from 20 years ago, these photos at least. You'll get the, well, those are going to be the

versions of us you get. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm only, let's see, what years is it? So I'm eight years, see, nine, that's nine years ago for me, and that's the version you're going to get. Is the nine-year-old. Look at it. Randy from 2013. That's the version you'll get a Randy. Randy from

when X-Files was on the air. You get Carter from the future. I know. Not just a few years of the future, but I mean, that's like, you know, 3,000 when the Carter Avatar is in everybody's living room. That's right. And you get that Amy Robinson's smoke wagon version of her. Look at this, man.

Oh, yeah. Anyway. Amy Robinson from the Prohibition era. No kidding. It's like, ah, you got yourself a beer. Don't tell the police. And then, you know, all these other great faces, plus more. There's more being added all the time.

We want to see you there. Get your tickets. Get your hotels. Get them today. There's going to be two operatives. to have meet and greets and get people to sign things and talk to people and and shake hands with all these wonderful people hosts that are that are around and and and all stars and stuff. It's going to be great. I'm thinking about creating.

I know that there are shy people in our community and I'm thinking of trying I'm trying to figure out a way to make it so that those people also at least at those meet and greet and event. get just as much opportunity as everybody else to get around and meet everybody. So I'm thinking of some ways to, what do you call it, lubricate that process to make it so that, you know. Because I am also a socially anxious person. I totally get it when people are like, I think I'm just going to sit back here. And then they miss their chance. Yeah. You know.

Yeah. So one thing to always remember, we make it extremely, we make ourselves extremely available at this thing. Absolutely. Yep. Yeah, it's a major effort. It always has been. We'll make that even easier this year. I remember one year this girl was 2014, I think. She was so scared to meet me, me or anybody else. And when she came in there to have me sign something and I hugged her for a picture, just kind of had her next to me, she was shaking so hard. And I remember thinking, I just want to, can I do any? Can I get you something? You know, I just wanted to help her. That's the vibe at the place. Nobody's there to be upity. Nobody's there to be like, I don't feel like talking. I don't know who you are.

Like, none of that exists. It is a big, open, happy family. And you should all come. So we can all hang out before all the seats are gone. All right. So get it on. Bobby, thanks for hanging. We'll do some more promo as we get closer to the event, obviously.

New things coming up and all that sort of stuff. Anything else we want to mention before we kick you out unceremoniously? No. go ahead, kick me out and come to Nortacular. All right. Bobby, thanks again for the great work yesterday. I appreciate you sub it in while I had the shakes.

Oh, thanks. Yeah, you were a good job. Good job healing your peen. You were a good... Yeah, thanks. His twitchy tip or what did we say yesterday? Oh, gosh, I missed this part. It was our title.

Tip tingle. Tip tingle. Oh, yeah, yeah. Tip tingle. It's a great, great title. I need to go watch the rest of that episode. Or do I? I don't know.

There's a lot of tip tingling. in there. We didn't go to town on you or anything, but boy, the titles sure did. I'm sure they did, yes. Thanks, guys. Glad, those get erased before I get a chance to see it. Brian, or Bobby, go get a burger, a Frankenberger, if you will. All right, he's out. Hey, he's got some emails. Want to hear this? Yeah, let's hear. Of course they do. An anonymous email came in. Oh, I didn't play the deal. You got to play the deal. What are we doing here? Here we go. No, wrong one. This is about the jugs of pee.

All right. Let's read this from an anonymous listener who says, how about a gross story for Scott? Ever heard the origin of pink lemonade? I hadn't. Oh, no. I hadn't before now. I wish I hadn't heard this either.

Anyway, this is what he says. The story goes that during the 1850s, a guy was selling tons of chilled lemonade at a circus when he ran out of water. My key ingredient for your lemonade, right? Sure. You kind of, people might say the most important ingredient, even though lemon is in the name.

Yeah, if you have lots of lemons, you ain't selling those. You got to have the water, so I agree with you. He says, Desperate, he looked for water all around the circus until he found a tub of water that an acrobat had been soaking her tights in after a performance. The water was pink from the dye in the tights, and the seller told his customers it was strawberry flavoring. So pink lemonade is the result of crotch water. That is horrendous. That's what he says.

Now, I did something about it didn't sit right with me. Sure, of course. It sounds like it sounds like a embellished story. It sounds like one of those things that's like, oh, okay. There's some truth, but there's also some. Something a little apocryphal about it, right? So I was like, let me see what I can do. So I did some digging.

And here's what I found. The tight story comes from Harvey W. Roots, 1921 book where George. Harvey Root. Where George Conklin claims his brother Pete came up with pink lemonade in 1857, after grabbing a tub of dirty water in which performer had just finished wringing out her pink colored tights. The marketing is a,

and then marketed as a strawberry lemonade, not pink lemonade, but strawberry. So there's one tiny little tweak. It wasn't called pink then. But anyway, says the email gets the broad strokes right with a couple of small inaccuracies.

It was 1857, not the 1850s. Generally, and the performer was a bareback rider slash equestrian named Franny Jameson, not specifically an acrobat. I don't know if that makes it worse. Uh, anyway, but here's the one, here's the story that might actually be true in this other one. This other one may have taken over as the story, but this might be what actually happened.

Uh, it's a less stomach churning origin story. In 1912, New York Times obituary credits Henry E. Allitt with inventing pink lemonade after accidentally dropping red cinnamon candies into a vat of regular lemonade. Nobody really knows which of these two stories is accurate according to the stuff I dug up. So we don't really know. My heart tells me, ain't nobody drinking freaking crotch water. That's what my heart tells me. And that this other thing probably happened where the guy dumped something in there and it went, oh, it tastes kind of good. We'll call it pink lemonade.

That's what I think happened. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I'd like it to be the cinnamon candy's, although pink lemonade doesn't have a cinnamony lemonade flavor. No. I mean, that, you know. Really doesn't have any special flavor at all, right? Right.

It's just pink. I think there's like, I mean, some places do call it a strawberry lemonade, and they do add strawberry flavoring. But I think it typically is just, yeah, it's lemonade. We just dyed at pink because it makes it easy. It's kind of a marketing thing, right? You see somebody walking around with a glass of pink, a semi-clear pink liquid, and they're like, oh, that must be pink lemonade.

But if they're carrying around a clear liquid, that it's like, well, that could be water with bits of pulp in it. I couldn't even tell you the last time I had one. It's been so long. I don't really like lemonade. Not really. Yeah. Gives me heartburn. Speaking of weird inventions by people you don't expect,

were you in a conversation I had about Big League Chew? No. I don't think so. Do tell. So Big League Chew, I was kind of surprised to find out they still sell it, which, you know, even though it's got all this like, yeah, you're making kids, you're teaching kids to chew tobacco. It was forbidden in my house.

My mom wouldn't let us have it. Well, you've heard of the movie, Tar, or in the bedroom or little children. This, you know, nominated for combined 14 Academy Awards. Todd Field, director. Yeah, Kate, what's her name? Blanchet. Yeah, this is Tar, yep.

He co-invented Big League Chew because he was a bat boy for the Portland Mavericks. and he and the pitcher Rob Nelson decided to come up with a bubble gum that was based on chewing tobacco. Oh, my Lord. Todd Field, director Todd Field. Wow. Did he not have an, I mean, maybe he just has passion for directing, but you'd think you'd have all that big chew, big league chew money. Some big league chew money.

Well, it's probably funded tar. Yeah, that's pretty crazy. Went from the pine tar to the Cape Blanchet tar. Yeah, there it is. Rob Nelson and as you said, Todd Field. That's crazy. Oh, they first pitched it to Wrigley who owned the Cubs.

Yeah, which makes sense, right? Because it would be like, all right, Wrigley is already a gum company. Let's have a gum thing. It's wild. But made by, excuse me, I love the fact that it's currently manufactured in the U.S. by the Ford Gum and Machine Company in Akron, New York. Delicious.

Yum, yum. Here's Todd Field, by the way. He's 61 now. It's a great hat. It's a very good hat. Here he is a young boy. Oh, there he is as a bat boy. Yeah.

Doing his thing. That's a crazy bit of trivia. Portland Mavericks, yeah. There he is acting in Ruby in Paradise with Ashley Judd. Oh, didn't know he worked in front of the camera at all. Oh, he also directed the bedroom. I didn't know that. In the bedroom.

Sorry. Yes. He also liked to direct in the bedroom, if you know what I'm saying. Yes, the sissy space sick, Tom Wilkins. What a weird life. I love it. Totally. Totally.

I love it. You made gum and movies. Movies and gum. Movies and gum that looks like chewing tobacco. Good for you. Gum, my mother, banned from our house. She wouldn't let us do it. If we even suggested we'd have Big League Chewing the house, she'd freak out.

And if we did candy cigarettes, like my friend had those. Yeah. Nope. Nope. No way those were coming in the house. Surprised. And maybe there is an example of this. Some sort of liquid candy that you push into your mouth using a plastic syringe.

I'm kind of surprised. Oh, is that? Maybe there is. Is there? That's what I was just wondering if like there's, you know, might be like a doctor-branded candy or something that has like a goo in a syringe that you inject. Doctor, diabetes. Stick it in there and make your blood sugar all left up. I'm curious now.

candy syringe There's got to be something right Doc McStuffin's pharmacy Oh for the Doc McStuffin's thing Sure yeah Oh really There you go Oh no that looks like

Somebody might have made that at home Oh here's a product I found a thing This is like an actual pack of these You buy these Oh there it is right there yeah Doctor or get Dr. Delicious Candy Surringe Three Flavors

Professor Online Lolley Shop They look like this. Fantastic. You know what? Everything's been made, I think. Everything's been made. Yeah, we gotta give up. We gotta give up.

There's no winning. That's right. I told this story on a... Here's some candy that you cook on a spoon before you eat it. Delicious! Comes with a toy cigarette lighter that magically heats up your candy. I did a video today about this, but this half-inflated Pikachu was in the the house. This is for Ramona's party the other day. She turned two. And someone left it out in the

hall and I got up early to walk the dog and it was dark. I didn't turn on the light and I tripped on this freaking thing and launched myself freaking 20 feet over the floor. I'm lucky. I'm not traction. Yeah. Put it over here now. Can't hurt anybody. Good Lord. That's the show. Oh, sorry. I Did you make that joke and I missed it? What did I decor do? He said in the chat, he says, Great joke coverville. So I'm guessing he must have made the same joke earlier and I, I missed it.

Or maybe he just, maybe he just liked your joke. Or maybe he really just genuinely liked it. I can't tell with I decor. I know, this is, you know, text. What are you going to do with? Everything sounds sarcastic with Icor. Red on air joke.

All right. Apparently it was. He's now saying, I guess so. Okay. Gotcha. Let's get out of here. A quick note about frogpants.

Go check all that out. Brian, let's play a song and get the F. Sounds good. Finally getting to this one, sorry for the delayed Josh McCorkendale. Hey guys, I've been a listener of Ye Old Frog Pants Network for over 10 years and somehow have never requested a song for my birthday. Every year I mean to write in and every year I forget. But this year I actually remembered still late, but hey, I did it. And it's a good year to finally do it because I'm hitting the ripe old age of the answer to life, the universe, and everything. I love that everybody likes to celebrate their 42nd.

I do, too. I think that we owe a special Douglas Adams thanks for that, I think. We do for sure. Yeah. So if the talented covermaster himself could accept my late request for a blind melon cover, and please, anything but no rain, there's so many other great songs.
