Hey everybody, welcome to TMS the morning stream. Today is Monday, March 16th, 2026. I'm Scott. That is Brian. Hello. We made it through the aides of March just fine. Thank goodness. Well, yeah. Yeah, rough. Been a rough month. It has been a rough month. I guess, yeah, that's questionable, actually. Actually, I'll say January through March have been

real stupid months for me anyway. And, you know, I don't know how you start a war between my mother's death and my mother-in-law's death. You know what I mean? Just nestled right between there is a war. Right in the middle we attack Iran. And I'm like, oh, really? Come on now.

It's not a war. It's an excursion. Because somebody once told me it was an incursion. I couldn't remember that. So I called it an excursion. We call it an excursion. It's an excursion. I forgot.

He said that. It's an epic fury. Yeah. Operation Epic Fury. Because we all like Mountain Dew. We love the Mountain Dew. We're going to call it Operation Baja Blast. We're playing call duty every night.

So dumb. So dumb. Anyway, a lot has happened since we last spoke. I'll do this now. Just a quick thanks and shout out to everybody for all their nice thoughts and comments about my mother-in-law passing. She died on Saturday morning after, man, defying some real odds. Like she, I don't know if she's just like less susceptible to what the drugs do toward the end there.

But that morphine was like hardcore. And she was like, yeah, whatever. You think I have an hour? I got 48 hours. You know, like she just kept going and going and going. But there's a lot of catharsis around it. Why did she give me the morphine sooner? Right. Exactly. But we felt, we felt this was a very different kind of experience because there wasn't this narcissistic gatekeeping butthole dealing to deal with it. Her dad's the sweetest person in the world. And so this was very planned and everybody was ready and everybody was around and supportive. And there was no nothing like that. So for me, it was almost like I had a weird PTSD thing during it.

I'm like, when's that shoe going to drop? When's that part of this get weird? It never did because he's not involved in that. But man, my mom's passing sucked. That was that was a terror. I hated it. Yeah. Anyway, we're on the throes of getting ready for a funeral.

It'll be this next weekend. And then Kim and her siblings and her dad all go to Mississippi for a week to do more there with family while the rest of us stay here and hold down the fart. So we'll see how that goes. It'll be good. Good closure after very difficult several months for Kim and her family. Yeah. Just basically like. From stroke forward.

Just watching. Yeah. Exactly. And having it happen the day my mom died. I know. What is going on with our luck? But yeah, she's doing okay. And there's a, there's a, there's a feeling of relief because she's not suffering anymore.

She's not, you know, completely whacked out in dementia land, which she was. So it's, it's okay. It's all okay in the end. But Kim wanted me to make sure, just give everybody a shout out on the show and say thanks for all the, all the kind words. And that extends all the way back to when my mom passed. You guys were, everybody was incredible. So thank you for that. It's a great community.

You know what? It's, yeah, we love you, Scott. And we're happy to support you and Kim. and by extension your whole family. So very kind of. Absolutely. Now, if this ear gets infected from my earrings,

I expect you all to kick in. That would be the one that would have, that was the bleeder? No, this one was. Yeah, I was going to say the, ironically, there's a reverse in Zoom. Well, here's some ironicness.

So this was the one that hurt the most going in. This hurt not at all after it was in. It hurt a little, but once it was in, we were done. This one kind of lingered. This one was a, There was a shorter post. And so I kind of liked it.

It was like snugger and held, you know, flushed to the earlobe. Yeah. This one was longer and kind of loose and I have to pump it once in a while or push it in. Still do. Well, this one started hurting the other night. I'm like, why is the good one hurting? Oh, no. And Carter came.

She goes, let me see. Because she goofed up. She didn't realize she used two different posts. So she looked at my ear and my, I was starting to heal over it. That's right. My skin started healing over the top of the screw. Oh, geez, because of the shorter post. Oh, no.

Okay. And that ain't good. So we had to pull it out of that. And then she got up, she found the longer one replaced it. Everything's fine now. But, man, is this what mostly women, but is this what you've been going through all these people? Is this what life is like for you with all your jewelry and makeup and everything? This doesn't make me, this doesn't make me feel like I need any sort.

of I'm fine. I'm totally fine. Don't need earrings. You don't want to go full Bajoran or something? I don't care if I have a grandson that's like come on let's be twins. I want to be twins with you. It's like you know what? Cool I'll get you a nice film psych hoodie. Yeah. We'll be good. Oh, there you go. I didn't think of that. I could have just got a shirt and made it all go away. Exactly. Easy. 50 bucks and you're done or 40 bucks and you're done. Whatever, whatever I paid for this. I can't tell if my daughters are both just just buttering me up. They keep telling me it makes me look younger and I'm like well I think it makes me look I think it makes me look less mature you know right is that that's what you mean yeah that's funny yeah so anyway

too funny but a yesterday the Oscars happened yeah we'd like to do a thing here where we kind of not wrap them up but kind of look at them and this year we had a pool a pool a tad pool pool yes a tad poo pool and we're still kind of figuring out who's going to get the prizes because a bunch of you tied okay for the best. Just like the, just like the Oscars, there was a tie. There was a tie. Did you not put a tie breaker in for like, how long will the telecast go or something? I didn't, I didn't do any of that.

Oh, think about it. All right. I should have, but I didn't. But look at this. So, oh, I had a question. I had a done of Clares. I actually had a question for you. Should I have the thing done it clears?

Yeah, go ahead. I didn't see. I looked everywhere for Coverville, Bibbit, Ibitt, Brian Ibitt, nothing. Yeah, I didn't do one in the thing. Oh, okay. We had, we had our friends over. I did a pool with them. didn't fill out the, I don't know why

I didn't fill out the film sack bracket. Did the other guys do it? They did. So, well, Dunaway didn't. He didn't. Okay. But Jordan did. Jordan did because Randy's got his finger in every possible cookie jar. You don't put your fingers in there, put your hands in there. You could. I mean, depends if there are cookies with holes in them and then all the finger is all you need.

Like you could probably get a jammy dodger out with a finger. That's true. You probably could. Now, as you can see here, even with a nice little animated bar, I don't know why that's impressive to me. Oh, look at you. Here's my Oscar's pool a scorecard for the night. I got 15 correct, 9 missed, 24 categories total.

That's a 62.5% win. And then it goes into each one that I got right and everything. Yeah. Randy, on the other hand, let's pull his up. I bet he did really well because he, yeah. 72. Five wrong, 19 correct.

He did real good on the big categories for sure. We did our film set or list. So we did a film set special for those of you who haven't heard it yet. Randy and I kind of did our picks. We, you know, we really didn't talk about specific. specifically while I'm picking this, it was, yeah, I think this one's going to win. This is the one I want to win, but this is the one that I hope is going to win, or this is the one that probably will win.

And I ended up with 13. It was a rougher, a rougher year for me because I went with some of my favorites instead of going with, yeah, this is probably going to go to centers or this is probably going to go to one battle after another. I really wanted train dreams to get the cinematography. Oh, yeah, it's freaking beautiful. but I'm so glad the girl won because we got a first woman yeah ever first woman ever to win in that category so I can't there's no way I can complain about train dreams not winning and listening to people lose their shit over her coming up there that was awesome yes yes oh my God is so cool it was almost the only I'll have to you know this of me I kind of don't love the Oscars they I get the cringy bits really get to me and there were there were quite a few cringy bits too there were I think I think I think Conan did great as always. Yeah. He's not the problem.

Some of the presenters and what they have them do, it's just kind of cringy and it makes me weird. And then some people get out and do their acceptances, and some of those are super cringy. Some of them aren't. But her was, that was amazing. You could just feel that was an electric moment. It was really awesome.

And then Michael B. Jordan winning. And you can see in his face. That dude had no expectation. He didn't. No, he, you know, he was like, yep, I'm going to just be stoic face because I, when some, when, when, uh, DiCaprio goes up to expect it, I want to be gracious or whatever. And, um, he's just, there's, he should have gotten two Oscars. He played two characters. I agree. Why didn't he get, it would have been a good gag anyway for them to give him

two Oscars, one for smoke and the other for stack. Yeah, come out with two statues, laugh it off and then walk out with one. That's right. Let's face it. Michael B. Jordan is a total smoke stack. Oh my gosh. He is a good looking guy. He is a good looking guy. He really. He really. handsome boy. I was hoping he was going to say Wakanda forever. I was hoping, yeah. Orgo, like, I want to thank Coach Taylor for my high school football

experience. Right, right. All his old acting jobs, you know. Yes. I was, I'd heard rumors that there was going to be a Marvel reunion. I guess it was just the you know, Downey Jr. and Chris thing, Chris Evans thing, but there's so many there.

That was such a, that was such an overblown. rumor that then when it was just those two coming out it's like oh well all right that that was also another cringy bit with you know oh what did you get me oh he got you this uh this thing oh where's downy junior he disappeared he's gone and yeah exactly i was hoping he's gone because he's arranging like all of the members of the mc u that are that they're in attendance are going to be right behind that curtain and it's going to pull up that'd been great i also had this i've always had this feeling that paul thomas Anderson was a weirdo and kind of aloof and strange and hard to be around or something because he's that kind of auteur. So I just assumed it. It's a weird thing to assume, but I did. He seems like

the most nicest affable guy. He totally does. Yeah. I could hang out with that dude. Easily. Just the sweetest. It seemed like it's a really sweet guy and everyone around them likes him and he's just nice and he get a little teary and you don't see that from these like directors that are all up their own butts, you know? And I always forget that he's with my Rudolph. It just seems like Oh, yeah. I was reminded last night because she's out there going, oh, right, they're together, right. I forget they were together, yeah.

Yeah, when he says, I'm sure when he's at home and he's like, honey, I broke a plate, there will be blood. And she says, get in here, Dirk Diggler. No. Anyway, it was a thing. Let's talk about some of these. Oh, I was going to bring up, we had Travis's in here. Oh, I bet Travis did really well.

I bet he, how did he compare to, okay. He did as well as, he did as well as Tina and our friend Kathy, who beat me by one point. They tied, beat me by one point last night with their predictions. He basically swapped Best pitcher and director. And director. I did the same thing. Yeah. Senors is what he picked.

It went to one battle and then Cougler he picked for director. It went to Paul Thomas Anderson. Yep. I kind of thought Cougler was going to get it too, but what did I do? I thought for sure, director, and then, yeah, and then one battle after another for best picture, which you got. You know, that's Randy. Hold on. It was mine. I chose Hamnet, because I just felt like it was the darling of the thing.

Yeah, I knew Hamnet was that Jesse Buckley was going to get best actress, but did it end up getting anything else, Hamnet? Well, let's see. did it? Did it get adapted? Looking here. No. Is that all it got? They don't got just the one acting one?

I think it just got the one acting one acting. I mean, it had a bunch of nominations. Had like Chloe Zhao for director and all that. But I guess it didn't win anything else. Tough year, though, man. It was a tough year. And Frankenstein did a lot better than people were expecting. Warforge is like the del Toros enough for Best Director pisses me off.

I don't think anybody was really expecting del Toro to oh because he did even get nominated was that the thing oh is that the point is he didn't get nominated yeah oh okay did did did diddle Toro get nominated I don't think he did problem with these lists I made I didn't include what the noms were I just have the winners and the picks yeah yeah I don't know he didn't get nominated yeah he should have been he should have been the list for sure I agree with that yeah and maybe not Jakeem I thought it was pronounced Joaquin, but it's not. It's Jackim Trier. Jackim Trier. Yeah. Sinil value didn't belong in the, I'm sorry, we watched it. It put me to sleep. Secret Agent, excellent. And if I were doing a recommendals today, it would have been, you all need to see Secret Agent, even though it's a subtitled thing. It's the best international film this year. And it is so freest.

good. It's not even close it sounds like as far as. Not even close. Yeah. All right. I mean that's freaking Wagner Mora. He's he's so good in it. And I don't know why he looks like the Latin Joshua Jackson or not Latin, but what I feel like he's

he's one second away from being cast in like who is the who was the big who was the Brazilian cocaine magnet guy? Oh, Chavo or a no other one. The famous one. Yes. Had a cushy prison.

I can't know his name. He's all up in that. Escobar. Escobar. Pablo Escobar. If they, if he, they don't give him that job for the next time that happens.

That's, we're all making a terrible mistake. Yeah. Anyway, well done, everybody, if you did well. And,

good time. Conan's bits were good. There were a couple pre-done bits. There were a little cringy. I like the outro one. That made me laugh. See, I need to see that.

I went, they brought, our friends brought their son Owen over and he'd been hounding me all night to play Mario Kart. So as soon as Best Picture got announced, I'm like, all right, let's go play Mario Kart. And then he didn't want to play Mario Kart. He wanted to play rounds, a game called rounds, which is pretty fun. Yeah. But I missed the whole final Conan bit, so I need to, I'll find that online. It was very funny. And appropriate that it was the one that they picked to do a skid about.

And that's all. I don't want to spoil for you. It's really good. Yeah. the opening bit with weapons with his makeup and the kids chasing of everywhere I thought was great and really well done. It reminded me of the old Billy Crystal, you know, where Billy Crystal would insert himself into all of the best picture nominees. Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah.

It turned out that Sean Penn, he just, you know, not there. No, nobody's surprised by that. Not really, right? Like, he's always been weird there anyway. I knew Nick Cave wasn't going to show up. and I knew Sean Penn wasn't going to show up. Yeah. He's never really, even when he's there, it's uncomfortable and strange.

Yeah. But also, he 100% deserved that award. Absolutely. It's still the portrayal this year that I can't stop thinking about. It was so good. Yeah. He completely transformed for that role. So weird. It was really, really good.

Yeah. Or we finally got to see the real Sean Penn. I'm not sure. I'm not sure which way it is. Was it a character? Or was that really what he's like? Does he walk around the house? like that. I think he's more

Spicoli than Yeah, it could be. Well, anyway, so now I know that the weird one is Sean Penn and the nice guy is Paul Thomas Anderson. I will remember that from now on. There you go. Guys, it's time for a game. And how do we play that game?

Well, we do this. Well, what do you know? It's time for us to play the morning, Monday, morning half-asses. And we do that with our old pal Brian Dunaway who's here right now. What's going on, dude? Oh, I've gotten Brian Monday morning, Monday, half-assly. Are you in the car? Where are you?

I was going to ask if you're in your car, yeah. Oh, cripes. You're better now. No, you're good now. No. It's fixed itself. That was a weird. It was a hot minute where it sounded like you were on a speaker in a car and it sounded

just like that, so it didn't surprise us. How about now? How about now? No, sound good now. I don't know. I don't ask me. It sounds fine. You sound fine.

I just work here. What do you want for me? Nothing. I want nothing from you, except for a. Nothing. Nothing. Just a hard won battle today is all I'm asking for. Hard one battle.

I can't wait to take you down. I try it, boy. We can't do that, though, until Brian Ibbott. Tell Brian if it explains it, boy. How do the rules work? Well, welcome to the morning asses, a trivia game. We're actually going to be giving you the answers. I'm going to give Scott and Brian a category and six possible answers,

three of which are correct. And three, like the use of the censorship button is incorrect. Depending on how confident you feel the category, you can provide one, two, or three guesses. but if you get any of those guesses wrong, you get zero points for that round. Get one right, gets you a point. Two right gets you three points.

Three right gets you five points. We're going to add up all those points on the player with the most of them. After three rounds, wins the prize for their contestant. Nice. I'll do the adding. Oh, you'll add them up here.

I guess I'm doing that part. Oh, yeah. Have you been doing that? Oh, that's nice of you, but no. Yeah. Is that supposed to be an excuse for why you lose so much because you've been distracted by adding the points up?

Yeah. It's definitely. I see how this is going to go. Double team. All right. Off the term buckle. All right. Anyway,

contestants have been pulled from members of the tadpool that are enabled this in live. Scott, you're playing for Sean Bloom. Oh, I like Sean Bloom. Oh, that's great.

I like Sean Bloom too. Can I play for Sean Bloom as well? Nope. Nope. But you get to play for Jason. The one named Jason. The Jason who feels like he is so well known that he can like share and Madonna. He can just go by one name Jason.

That's right. I hope I can easily find them. The trick has been if someone does just a name in their in their account on Patreon, it's hard for me to be sure because there was one guy that won that was named Brian. And just Brian without just Brian and nothing else.

And I went search for it and I'm like, well, I'll just find the one Brian. It was like a hundred Bryans. And a bunch of them were bryans. A bunch of them were just Brian no last names. So we had to re-roll that one. It was sad. But today should be, I think Jason's okay. I think

we got this. Okay, good. Hopefully we can, hopefully we can locate Jason. Let's get to the morning half-asses. Question, let me reload. Question number one. By the way, I did like Matt Berry. Now we have the win of

a best pick to your... Yeah, pick to your. He didn't do enough of that, though. I wanted more Laslo. No, he's so underused. Yeah, I think they warned him or he was nervous or something, but they didn't, they should have gone all out with that. Yeah. Hey, Dunway, I'm not seeing you in the game. And I'm not seeing Scott, so maybe I need to reload.

Okay. I see myself, but I don't see anyone else. Okay. Yeah. I'm getting an error. I can get out in. Oh, no. Oh, don't you do it, Scott.

Oh, stay in. Okay. Stay in. Don't you do it, Scott. You're in, you're in the right place. Dunaway is not yet. Once again, double teamed. That's fine.

That's fine. I'm okay with it. You heard it here, folks. Brian Donneway is okay with being double team. That's right. I want Warburton next time, by the way, and have him be full. Warburton. We'll be right back with the...

Yeah. He needs to go all in and they didn't let Laslo do enough. Yeah, they really didn't. I'm annoyed with it. All right. Question number one. Signals that an NFL referee can make with just one arm. He could do it with one arm tied behind

his back nonetheless. Your choices are, face mask, delay of game, intentional grounding, unwatchable, or unwatchable forward pass. holding and first down. I love that one. That's an unwatchable forward pass.

The whole audience overted their eyes during. Oh. I can't watch that. Let's see. Boy. Now, I always assume there was like some, you know, like artistic decisions on this stuff. It's like they could just use one arm. They're like.

But they want to flourish? Yeah. Some of them got like really big arms. I'm like, I don't know if they could do both arms. like that. Well, I've confidently chosen my answers. I've confident

chosen my man. All right. I've always going to get a delay in a second. Hey, I've clicked on the button already. Yeah.

All right. Okay. You take my face mask. All right. Let's go with you guys are both locked in. You both locked in with two answers. And the only one you agreed on

was face mask. Face mask. Yeah. Absolutely. Sometimes I thought when some of them grabbed their wrists sometimes when they do it. With face mask like this? Yeah, I've seen it like, yeah, that's a holding. That's a holding and a face mask.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, you're combining them. You're right. Because Brian, this is not wrong. It seems like they do this a lot because there's a lot of holding. But it's never like, if that's out, you're saying. Yeah. Yeah, but you know, some people have trouble with like, I don't know what to do with this other hand.

They're kind of like, maybe I'll put it over here. sure um all right uh let's see here i want to pull one of them up because i want to see if i can get the uh the signal let's see the other one you chose it's not going to give me i just want a diagram oh there it is okay uncatchable forward pass uncatchable forward pass uncatchable forward pass i was trying i don't think i've ever ever seen that one but i'm trying i was trying to think of it i was like they to kind of like stand on one foot and lean out with their hand. Like, you know, a lot of times, they kind of like mime the penalty.

Yeah, I don't know. It's really just this. It's one hand over the head is uncatchable forward pass. And so you can do that with, you can do that with one arm, which gives Scott two points or two answers for three points. Very good, Scott. Well, Brian, you chose first down. Yeah, yeah. Do you know the, do you know the, they just point it's this.

point that way. First down. Yeah. That way. So congratulations. You both got three points for that. Dang it. I thought first,

I got first down mixed with touchdown because touchdowns both arms up. Right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. In my head, I went touchdown.

I don't know why. Shoot. Well. Duh. All right. That's all right. Let's see how you do with question number two. Dunaway,

do you have pets? What do you have for pets? Oh, my God. I have no. My family has pets. Oh, really? Well, okay. I mean, there are pets in your house, okay?

Oh, dear Lord, are there pets in my house? Yeah. All right. Weird cats. All kinds of stuff. Are there? Is it cats, dogs? What do you have?

Cats? No cats. Oh, okay. Everybody else has cats. Oh, I see. Good Lord, this distinction of... Listen, if they live in your house, they're your pets. I hate to break it to you.

Okay, wait, wait, okay, by that logic, if someone is living in your pets, is living in my attic that I, you know, and it's like, I hear them occasionally. I know they're up there. Yeah. Does that mean I have a roommate? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if you'd say roommate, but you'd say, a housemate.

You'd say a housemate. Yeah, you'd say a housemate. Or at the very least. That's my uninvited housemate upstairs. If you lives in the confines of the house that you call yours, then it is a pet. And it is a roommate and it is a housemate. But I did not invite them. They are there regardless.

Yeah. You're not kicking them out either. You've got to kick them out to make a... I mean, what point do I make the distinction? Because my kids have shirts, but they're not my shirts. Oh, now we're going that way. All right, no. I like this.

I like this. My extension, these are my shirts. Do you wash them? No, I wash them. They're my shirts. I love it. This is my computer and I can turn it off. You can do your homework.

All right. Boy, this is going places I really wasn't expecting you to. But it's the question. countries with more pet cats than dogs. Which countries do the residents have more pet cats than they do pet dogs? And I'm counting if it lives in their house, it is their pet. Okay, Donoey. Is that all right with you?

Does that work? If they live in the house? Yeah. If they live in the house. That's a good question. Yeah. Do you have any pests that live in your house? That would have been the best way to do.

Yeah. Okay. Your choices are Austria, Turkey, Spain, Mexico, Japan, and the United States. I locked early because Oh, well. It felt right. Hard than me. I just know that, I mean, Mexico's,

never mind. Go ahead. What was you going to say? No, by all means. Please. Lock it in there, buddy. You just lock it in. There you go.

I was just going to say Mexico's lousy with dogs. Dogs everywhere. It is, yeah. Lousy with dogs. All right. Let's get to the answers. This time you had no overlap and you each chose two. So that means somebody's not getting points, right?

Because there are three answers you choose for between the two of you. Let's start with Scott's turkey. Scott chose turkey. Yeah. I love turkey. Obviously, they have more turkeys in their... More turkeys and cats. Come on.

Turkey, more pet cats than dogs. Very good. Turkey's correct. Nice. Well, then I could not have one because you said that we did not choose the same things. And Scott's got one. Wait. What if the two of yours are correct?

Brian. What if you're, because you chose United States, it is correct. It is? Yes, United States, more pet cats than dogs. This kind of surprises me. I thought, blew me away. I thought the U.S. would have more

dogs. Bob Parker didn't do nearly good enough. No. He's for a while. It was just have your stupid ass dog spayed or neutered. Bye, we'll see you next time on the price is right. And then he said, I better mention cats because they're overpopulating.

But it's too late. Does this mean he kind of failed then? He failed in his little dream of doing that on the side. He did. Went right over the cliff like the cliffhanger. Now, the two of you, one of you chose Japan. The other one of you chose Spain. Oh, interesting.

And they're both wrong. The right answer is Austria. Austria has more pet cats than does. Japan, I would have absolutely chosen Japan because I feel like, oh, Japan. Smaller area. They need indoor animals, cats, perfect. And you don't think a lot about dogs just in Japan at all. Like, I don't think of...

You know, the Shina Ibu, I think, is the... Akitas are Japanese, too, aren't they? Oh, yeah, I think you're right. Yeah. But for the most of, like, despite even those breeds, it's like... I'm trying to think. Last time I saw anything Japanese-related where I was like, boy, I sure a lot of dogs in that scene or...

Yeah. What do you think you like all the video games? Japanese video games? There's a cat sleeping in the windows. There's always a cat. I mean, every horror... movie that you see from Japan with a little schoolgirls of a cat. Yeah, exactly. Weird. Weird. Austria is surprising. I thought they'd have big, you know, mastiffs and shit like that. Right. Dobermans and

exactly. All right. Well, you guys are both going into question three with three points. Let's, uh, let's listen to a song about a place. All right. Um, I didn't want to do any of that. I did. I decided I better not go there because I don't want to help you out. Uh, words in the lyrics of the Gilligan's Island theme and I'm going to give you a timer on this one because I don't want you to sing it. All your choices are Storm, Minow, Phone, Coconut, Five, and Ginger. Your timer starts now. Uh, uh, I think that's it. Yeah, I think so. All right, you both have locked in very good. But thank you for rushing me. the easy one you both chose minnow the minnow would be lost the minnow would be lost you know what and then you rush me and i put the stupid ginger in that they don't say her they don't say they're they're a movie star she's movie star yeah she even even in the abbreviated and the rest she's still a movie star and the rest um Scott you chose five how many castaways were there hold on 18 hold on hold on

Okay. The five of denim would get in a boat and they would float off. Something, something. See, he doesn't even know the song. Hold on. He wouldn't have been in a visit him anyway. Is there not five? There's Gilligan, Skipper, Professor, Ginger, Marianne, Lovie, and Mr. Hell.

However, five passengers set sail that day on a three hour tour. Yep. It was five passengers and two crewmen. so there were seven castaways. They never say the word storm, though, even though both of you chose it. Shit. So no points for either of you.

The weather started getting rough, if not for the courage of the fearless crew. The weather started. Yes, exactly. No storm was said. So we're going in. People are really a crew, though. I mean, come on.

For that little boat? Yeah, totally. Yeah. Okay. Why do they take so many? Why do they take so much luggage? It's also, it's also weird that.

there were only, that there were needed two on that boat of that size, like a single captain or driver is all you need. Yeah. What was Mary's job? Because we kind of know where about us his little role in society is. Secretary. She was

secretary. No, she was. Yes, she was. She was a little farm girl, wasn't she? I thought she was somebody's secretary. That's not really a role. I mean, that's like her background. And let's see, I'm going to find out. Yeah. I don't ever remember her being a secretary. Okay, Marianne. Here we

go. She was the assistant to the professor maybe. She became that. She became that by. It may have been that though. May have been her secretary, his secretary before they got there. That makes sense. Okay, here we go. Oh, okay. Back home, she worked on her uncle's farm and had a job as a clerk at the local general store. That's what it was. Ah, okay. A clerk. Well, why the hell was she on a cruise?

She's just getting away? Yeah. She's just like, man, I got to get out of this hayseed town. I got to get out there. Exactly. You know, I got to go get lost with a bunch of losers. Let's go. All right. All right. Let's get to a tiebreaker question then.

Let's see. All right, here we go. This is a good one. I don't know who got points first. You guys both got points at the same time of the first question. So, Donoway, you're going to get to choose whether you answer the question or go high or low on this, this higher low game. Do you want, which do you want? Give an answer or high or low?

Higher low, come on. Okay. All right. Scott, yeah. On average, how many inches long is an adult giraffe's tongue? I don't like none of, you need to ask that question faster. Let's see. Don't pause so much.

Adult giraffe's tongue. An adult giraffe's tongue. I just witnessed one of these. Oh, my. Oh, did you? Oh, that's right. Yeah, the zoo photos. Yeah, we weren't there very long ago.

Did they lick you? No, they tried to, though. They were doing that thing they do where they want like hay or whatever. Yeah. We were holding the kids up. And they wrap it around and stuff. I'm going to say nine and a half inches. Can I do halves or is it?

Sure. I'll give you. You can do halves. All right. Nine and a half inches is incorrect. Dunn away is the actual answer higher or lower than nine and a half. Dude, just nine and a half just nine and a half. mouth.

They've got a tongue that's like a mile long. I'm going to say higher. It is higher, but not by much. It doesn't, you know, doesn't like go all the way down there. They're long necks. It's 19 inches. Oh, man. Oh, no, no, no, 19.

19. Holy shit. 19 inches. The chameleon, however, has a tongue that is longer than its body. Whoa. Where does it put that? It curls it up. Curls it up like your intestines.

Like how they're longer than your body like that. Wait. my intestines are curled up let's take a look I mean if I think of the 80s and the cool like this guy's sick things they'd use in commercials it just looked like one tube and then he'll circle for the stomach and then

another tube to the bum bum that's where the indigestion would sit and it would turn red yeah it was always red that's how you knew you were in trouble well congratulations Brian you because of the tie breaker you won the game and by proxy

Jason wins. So hope we can find him to give him his prizes, which are the text resist. It's appropriate. You're making that noise. Oh, that game's cool, by the way. Is it a typing? Like a half-hastry type game? Yeah, it's one of those typing. Like, I don't know if you played, if you played

or any of that. Typing of the dead I played, yeah. So much fun. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. You got to be a good speller, though. If you're not a quick speller, you're going to be in trouble. Oh, sure. The text is just the story of Rebibia and Necrosmith too. Oh, also good. Man. But. Don't worry, Sean Bloom, you're not going away

empty-handed. You're going to copy of three-fourths home extended edition. Nice. I don't know what that one is. I don't know about like the idea. Three-fourths. Three-fourths, extended-distance. That's weird. Should be one-and-a-quarter extended edition.

That's a weird way of naming that. That's right. Well, anyway, that's great. We've got winners then. And all around, because your patrons, your winners. Congratulations. Donaway, you're a winner, too. Actually, literally you won today.

I think it's impressive stuff you'd have pulled off today. Are you feeling good about your, uh, feeling good about your performance, are you? Are you? Pretty good. Okay. Well, we'll get a chance to do this again on Wednesday and between now and then. Oh, shit. There's no show Monday.

No show Wednesday. You're right. I'm having a tube up the poop shoot. That's right. When's your prep start? Tomorrow night? Tomorrow morning. Morning.

So tomorrow I will be on a black coffee and grumpy as hell, I'm sure. Yeah. After having Jello for breakfast. Dude, I hate the prep so bad. Yeah. Even with the pills, even when that was better, just starving all day. It sucks. Exactly.

Like the drink of the mirror lacks, no big deal. Whatever. It's the, it's the freaking starving all day that, that's the part that kills me. I feel for you. But it'll be nice. You get in there. Somebody to nominate a nice big juicy steak rolled in nuts. Yeah.

Oh, they'll love that. Rolled in sesame seeds. They'll love that. Sunflower seeds. And we're not sure where we found 18,000, Pollops. Don't tell you. That's right. That's right. Done away. Okay, so here's the truth.

Tuesday night, you and I will get together and do a watch retro. And we won't be able to talk about it on Wednesday when we have regular play retro. But just know the two big retro moments are coming up in your lives tomorrow night and then Wednesday night. Check the schedule for more details. Go to frogpants.com slash play retro. Remember play something retro. Yeah, we are. I forgot what we're doing this week. What are we doing?

Forgot. Blade Runner. Oh, Blade Runner. The point click Blade Runner. Yeah. Yeah, it's a cool, cool, point-and-click game that most people, I don't know if most people played it, but I did. I freaking love that game.

Oh, my gosh. So good. Amazing soundtrack, too, if I remember right. Anyway, hey, Donaway, I'd like you to kiss our butts and go away. Bye. All right, guys. It's time to put our science pants on and do this. Science.

Bob is hungry, and the soup looks good. Ah, yes, Bob is indeed hungry. And his soup does look good. Bobby Franks, a.k.a. Bobby Frankenberger, joining us all the way from South Carolina as well. Probably using the same phone lines or whatever the hell we're connecting to you. I don't know. I don't know how that works. Same phone line.

You know what I mean? It merges somewhere in South Carolina. Yeah. You just got the one. You guys all tap into it. Is that how it works? Oh, my gosh. The brightness.

Yeah, always that first, that initial figuring, figuring him out. That's because he's science Jesus. and he's got to adjust for us. We can't adjust for him. If we saw him in his pure glory, we'd all just, our eyes would fry out, Brian. We wouldn't be able to handle it. It's like looking directly at the sun is what it is.

Nobody should do that. That's a different topic. It feels like looking at my forehead right now. Yeah, I know, right? Well, it's good to have you here, man, as always. We're going to get right into it. A quick reminder, though, that we'll talk about this a little bit at the end of the segment. But Bobby is man about town on making sure the intertacular schedule

happens on time and is creatively full of wonderful things. We're going to use an opportunity today to talk a little bit about that at the end of your segment. But before we do that, I hope he's going to have a whistle and a stopwatch. Yeah, right? I want it to be that hardcore. Yeah. Can you clipboard for sure? That is definitely going to be a thing.

Definitely. I might even have one of those metal clipboards that you can put documents inside of. Yeah, that has a cover to it like you will use on a job site. Yeah. Love it. I'm all about it But we'll talk more about that in a minute Bobby first what we're going to do though

Is we're going to attack a question we got from a listener Yeah, we put it out there That we wanted to get some questions from you guys In the science realm And boy howdy did tenders step up His name is tenders Tenders You got kicked right in the Tenders

Yeah he's either he's referring to either to his testicles Or he's a big chicken tender fan I don't know It's all about the sauce Anyway he says Got one for Bobby There's been a lot of buzz around the GP sorry, GLP1 drugs like OZemPEC beyond weight loss, including heart health, addiction, and even Alzheimer's.

What do you think is the most surprising direction that research is heading, says tenders. So what started out is a medication designed to help type 1 and type 2 diabetics has now turned into for a minute, well, for a minute there was like Hollywood weight loss fame, right? Still is. Exactly. Yeah, still is. But it turns out there's some other benefits. around it. Maybe some other possible cautions I've heard about, but we'll talk about that in a minute. So, Bobby, do you know where we're kind of at with all that? Did you do a little research on this? Yeah, I've been hearing a lot about it over the past couple of years. It pops up in science news all

the time because people are finding out new things about what they think that these GLP-1 agonists are doing. because funny enough, the actual thing, the weight loss portion of these GLP1 drugs, that was a surprise and not intended thing, as you implied just a second ago. Almost kind of like a side effect, but the welcome one. Yeah, not necessarily surprising side effect, I guess. And a lot of the things that are popping up as uses for GLP1s are not really, really surprises for the people who who are researching these and know about it. But you kind of have to know how GLP ones work and everything a little bit,

like a really brief rundown in order for all that to make sense. So as you said, the drug was first developed for diabetes or type 2 diabetes is what it was being developed for. And the reason is because so when we eat food, our body breaks down the glucose in our, or the body breaks down the sugars in the food you eat into glucose, and that glucose goes into your bloodstream. That's blood sugar whenever we talk about blood sugar, right? And in response to that, the pancreas releases insulin,

which allows the glucose to enter our cells and helps give us energy. So that's what insulin is used for, is to allow your cells to accept that glucose. All right? Yeah. After your cells accept a bunch of glucose, then your blood sugar typically receives. turns to normal. But type 2 diabetics, they are, that's the insulin resistant type diabetes. And so what

that means is that their cells have stopped responding to insulin or responding to it as much. And also the, so the pancreas is trying to produce more insulin to compensate for that, which is not great because it doesn't help. Your cells aren't responding to it. Take it easy, pancreas. Yeah. Freaking pancreas, man. That's the worst. That thing is. It gets the gnarliest cancers. It's this thing that's like back here in the middle of things. You can barely tell where the hell that damn thing is. Punch me in the ribs hard enough.

You're going to smush it. Stupid little organ. So, GLP1s, which by the way are not GLP1, they are technically the longer term for that type of drug is a GLP1 receptor agonist. And that just means, because GLP1 is natural in our bodies. It's the hormone that tells the pancreas to really. insulin but what glp1 does is um so the normal process is when you eat your body detects that you you're eating food and it get kind of gets ready for it once your the food enters your

small intestines your your body releases glp1 the hormone into your bloodstream to sort of get things ready yeah it preps the pancreas to go ahead and and be ready to release insulin it also tells the liver to stop producing glucagon which is which is an enzyme or I believe it's an enzyme that what it does is it, it raises blood sugar when you're not eating food. Glucagon is there because you want to keep your blood sugar steady when you're not eating food. So glucagon is responsible for raising blood sugar.

So in people with type 2 diabetes, both of those are problems. Your pancreas isn't releasing insulin, and your liver is often producing too much glucagon. So it's like everything's going in the opposite direction. Yeah. It should be going in. Right. So GLP1 is a natural hormone that helps to correct that.

It helps to regulate both of those processes. So GLP1 receptor agonist. An agonist is just a molecule that binds to the same receptor as something else. So if it's a GLP1 receptor agonist, that means it's a drug that binds to the same receptors that cause that GLP1 binds to. Got it, got it. Okay. So that's a long way. So we just call them GLP ones because they end up doing the same thing as GLP1.

So that's great. It was being tested to help with diabetes, but in the clinical treatment. trials for the testing of those drugs, they noticed that the people who were taking it in the clinical trials were losing five, 10 pounds, sometimes even more. And it was surprising because normally diabetes drugs cause you to gain weight. Yeah, they're associated with weight gain. Yeah. And so they were like, oh, this is interesting. Let's take a look at that. And so, yeah, then, you know, you know the rest. Then it started being used and marketed also for weight loss. and it was incredibly helpful.

And it's effective at the weight loss. So for obesity patients, people with diabetes, incredibly helpful on both counts. Not drastically so. Like people, it's easy to get all wrapped up and oh, he's got a Zempic face or whatever you say about, you know, actors who did it or whatever. But it's not like rapid, horrible weight loss that's not good for you. It's kind of, it gets them to a place where they sort of even out to be what their norm should be. And then there's still questions about, well, once you stop doing semi-glutide injections or whatever, does it come roaring back? Is your appetite screwed?

Like, there's a lot of, there's still studies being done about that, like kind of the, do I have to be on this forever to maintain that weight loss? Or do I have to be on this forever to maintain my, you know, blood sugar levels? Yeah, because there's what things do theoretically and then what they do actually in practice when people actually take them. and because people have complicated brains and bodies and and you know just because in a perfect scenario it should do this that once once you actually meet the behavioral tendencies of a human being then it might be different it might be that most people tend to have a difficulty maintain like you were implying maintaining certain eating habits because the drug one of the things that it also does is it seems to reduce your appetite. And so that helps with the weight

loss part of it, right? But in the long term, if you stop taking it once you reach your goal, you know, if you haven't done the work to get yourself into good habits, when that appetite comes back, you might just right back to it. Which is true of any regimen of any kind, really. So it's probably, you know, I don't know that it would be any worse or better if you were just on a diet and then got off your diet and then getting all your weight back. Or if that same process happened after doing, taking these drugs, either way, you know, the good habits thing needs to be there or else you're kind of hosed. In the case of type 2 diabetes, depending on severity, it may be a thing they're on for the rest of their lives just to keep all that stuff in check and keep, you know, keep blood sugar from, you know, wrecking you. Yeah, you seem to know a lot about this. The reason I do is because I am pre-diabetic and I have to watch that line.

So it's something you've been probably talking to your doctor about and thinking about? Absolutely. And so if it came down to it or whatever ends up happening for me in the future, it may involve this stuff. So it's good for me to understand it and know what's going on. Well, let's talk about these surprising side effects then because you're going to want to know about them. Yeah, the third penis is exciting. Tell me more about how I'm going to get that. That's the one that is made.

I don't know if I would want that one. I don't even know how I get the second one. Third one is all other. That one's right past me. That was, yeah, that's a. So a lot of the side effects that people have been talking about and you've probably heard a lot about are, and I'll go through them really, really quick. Because this group that I'm going to mention, they're all, well, in fact, most of these side effects are all kind of related. And I'll explain why in a second.

But some of the... Could we play some comforting music and have images of somebody throwing a frisbee while you're talking about the side effects? I mean, you could. A slow motion. Slow motion playing catch with a grandson. It has to be the worst side effects, though, right then. That's right. Exactly.

You have to say them with a smile on your face. Yeah. May cause, you know, explosive diarrhea while grandpa's thrown a frisbee. Your penis might fall off. Stop taking. Yeah. But they're also contradictory side effects, right? Like, uh, side effects include loss of penis, growth of third penis.

Yeah. Exactly. You may feel hyper and also drowsy. You're going to get diarrhea and constipation. What are we doing? Exactly, yes. Well, the diarrhea will come out of your nose. You almost made my water come out of my nose.

That's what's going for. Good timing. So some of the side effects that seem to be clear, all of these are in testing phases and scientists are trying to figure out, you know, how likely these are. but some of the ones that are pretty clear that as far as side effects go are cardiovascular risk reduction, a reduction in cardiovascular disease risk, kidney protection, benefits in helping treat obstructive sleep apnea. Oh, that's cool. I didn't know about that. And reduced risk and severity of strokes.

We actually reported on that on the science podcast one time. And so all of these that I just listed are all related to the same three groups of things that we know GLP-1s do, which is weight loss. Like, think about it, sleep apnea, specifically obstructive, obstructive sleep apnea is very often related to weight. Yeah, exactly. And obesity. So if you, weight loss is going to help with that. Lower blood pressure is something that GLP-1s do. They tend to lower your blood pressure and also reduce.

blood vessel damage, which can reduce inflammation all around your body. And so all of these things that I just listed are all related to those things. So if you reduce the amount of blood sugar that you have, you're going to reduce your blood pressure because there's less stuff in your blood now. Right? Also, having glucose floating around in your blood can cause blood vessel damage, not just because glucose molecules are damaging, can form crystals and do damage to small blood vessels,

but also, again, high blood pressure can do damage to your blood vessels. Those blood vessels being damaged causes inflammation in various parts of your body. And inflammation, anything that causes inflammation, inflammation in your body is generally not good. It's not good. It's related to so many problems. And so those are the things. cardiovascular risk reduction, kidney protection, and reduced risk and severity of stroke, and

obstructive sleep apnea. Those are things that were pretty close to saying GLP ones are really good at helping with those things as well. Yeah. There's some other things that have been mentioned. Some of these were mentioned by Tenders, like addiction, which I'll give you a heads up. Tenders asked for my opinion, and addiction is the one that's most surprising to me. In particular, like alcohol or drug or addiction? Just in general, it seems to be, it hasn't been... lowers your ability to quit something, basically?

No, no, no. These are all benefits, so it helps with... Oh, gotcha. Well, helps with addiction. Okay, gotcha. Yeah, it helps with addiction. You know what I was reading that as like a... Yeah, side effect is addiction.

Because I realized that was a little confusing the way I was wording it. These are all the... An addiction to what? Addiction to love? What is it? Might as well face it, I mean. Yeah. But no, yeah, it helps with addiction.

And that's why it's surprising to me. I'm like, oh, that's interesting. But the reason it kind of makes sense is that it seems to be one of the things that GLP1s are doing is helping making changes in the reward pathways in our brain. blocking the dopamine rush that you get from certain addictions kind of things like the eating addiction what the pathway is but there seems to be a dampening of food reward signaling pathways and if those pathways are being shared by other types of addiction or other reward pathways that lead to addiction then that might be what's why we're seeing this right gotcha okay but there's other things Alzheimer disease was was mentioned by tenders but it turns out that that one's that one's that one

looks like it's not panning out. It's possible. Yeah. Well, it's possible. Everyone was really excited about that. Sure. It is possible, though, from the angle of this is improving other aspects of health that are known to be risk factors for developing dementia.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And other kinds of dementia. Yeah. And there are other kinds of dementia that there's still open research in, like, Parkinson's disease, they think it might, there might be some promise there. And then, uh, some new areas that people are looking at. And this is an interesting one is fertility and menstrual regularity. Mm.

Um, which are both connected problems, um, fertility problems. They, there seems to be like a link between type two diabetes and infertility and, and, and a regularity administration and, and, um, because insulin and hormone levels and, and, and even, uh, the amounts of fat we have around our organs, those all are connected as well to hormones, which can upset, you know, fertility and menstruation. So there's psorias. There's all kinds of things. Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, which are both autoimmune diseases, which is related

to inflammation. Like, it's so interesting how much these GLP-1 drugs are touching so many things. my wife who's a pharmacist was joking that some of her pharmacist people are starting to joke that they should just put GLP ones in the water for everyone. Yeah. Just exactly. Heck with, well, in addition to fluoride, throw some GLP1 drugs. Nobody will have a problem with it, I'm sure. It's like Hootie in the chat even said, he says, serious, though, my overall health has been hugely improved being on Monjourno.

My doctor said he'd prescribe it to almost all of his patients, regardless of weight or diabetes if he could. Yeah, see, that's exactly what my wife is saying. Like, there are certain drugs that like statins that they joke about, like, there seems to be like almost only benefit to taking them, you know? But, and this might be one of them. Of course, that doesn't mean you should all jump out and go, you know, like we're still, it's still actively being researched. Right.

But my GP is trying to work a way to get it for me without the diabetes stuff on the side because of the sleep apnea. He's like, you know, these are showing to have some really good effects on sleep apnea. So I'm going to see if I can get you approved that way. So far, we've, you know, we've done the OZempic. We've done there, tried the OZempic, the Wigovi and the Zepbound. And we're waiting to hear on the third one. But he's also.

And when you say you've tried on it, you've tried to get it approved. He's tried, get it approved. So I don't, you know, instead of going to four hymns and paying full price for something, he's like, yeah, I'm going to see if it can maybe get you set up with that. Yeah. And that's my biggest beef with this. entire thing is that it's, uh, once people realized its benefits to weight loss, it suddenly became out of reach ridiculously expensive. And unless you were somebody with millions of dollars or whatever

expendable income in the, I'm happy to pay 10 grand a month for this numerical drug, then you're kind of left in the cold. And insurance companies are really, depends on the company, but they're very stingy here in the States about when they'll out, when they won't. Like there is one kind of very expensive insurance I could get where she could give it to me now even in a prestate she'd said that it's perfect but they won't my insurance will not do that and in fact right I have to be in like the you have to be in dangerous yeah yeah yeah before they'll even do it yes and even then it's still super expensive like it's prohibitively so and it's really yeah freaking frustrating that's why all this research is really really important to do because as you guys are sort of

talking around and implying, your doctor can prescribe it to you. That's okay. Off-label use of medications is, in a lot of cases, it's not a problem legally. It's just the insurance companies are only going to prescribe it if it's on the list, right? And that list is entirely based on, you know, research and FDA approval and stuff like that. Is that also, your wife probably knows this more than any of us. I think I've heard Dan talk about it, and I know John's talked about it because he used to work in this field, but isn't that what pre-authorizations are about or something? Yeah, that's exactly what. Yeah, I used to work in the medical insurance field as well, so I know a bit about it, but pre-authorizations, absolutely, that's what they're

for is to get the insurance company to authorize it for use. And some things are flagged, medical procedures and medications. Some things are flagged as only being able to be done or used with, they require a pre-authorization before they can happen, before they can be covered. The insurance company decides that. They have all these things that are flagged when you run it through insurance. All right. Interesting.

Well, hopefully we continue to see just the benefits and suddenly someone doesn't do a test and go, uh-oh, everyone's got eight nipples and they're all cancers. Exactly. We didn't think about this one. Well, sorry. Yeah, it's always a risk, I guess, with any of this kind of innovation. But in a real sense, it feels like the first time since maybe the advent of effective vaccines, like polio vaccine and things like that, since then we really haven't had a quote unquote miracle drug in a while or one that was like actually really did big work like this. And so that's kind of exciting.

But then my brain always goes. to the big pharma is screwing us with the prices and the availability and the who gets it first and hate that shit yeah yeah yeah i mean you always have to say all right who benefits and how and then figure out all right how does this how does this hurt me when it benefits them and it's like you know there's always something yeah oh HPV HPV is a good one uh i fleming in the chat HPV vaccine was a huge it is a huge deal that's that's i mean you know how many cancers that probably avoided. Yeah.

Yeah. It's HPV vaccine. That's widely regarded as as one of the greatest medical breakthroughs and one of the greatest medical advances in our lifetime. Yeah. You'd think we'd be, I don't know, you'd think you'd just be all about like, hey, let's make this as available as possible.

Yeah. The GP, GLP1 stuff. Not enforce it. Like, you don't have to do it. and getting it approved for a lot of new uses will help with that because if there's more uses for it, that increases the demand, which then you would think would increase the production.

But, you know, I'm actually make drugs, so I don't know if that my equation. Oh, you don't do that? I thought you still had a meth lab going. You don't make drugs, what? That's a shame. I was really hoping that was going to work out for you. No.

Well, don't worry about it. You can always throw something at Tucco. and it'll change the entire episode. Tight, tight, tight, tight. Well, this is fascinating stuff. If you out there listening any experts in the field or anybody want to pipe in on this or have further questions like this,

we love these questions. We're going to keep more of these questions rolling in. It's good stuff. So please keep those coming to the body. I love the questions. I was surprised. I realized, oh, he wanted my opinion. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. I don't normally give my opinion on my science podcast. Sure, yeah. Well, science, exactly. Science is usually opinion-free, should be opinion-free. Yeah, I liked that. I like it too. So please keep those coming.

You can send them right to our email or use the website however you want to do it. Bobby, real quick before we go, first of all, your podcast, and then I want to do a quick nerdtacular thing. But tell people where they can get all-around science and why they should get it. You can get all-around science everywhere that you get a podcast. It's called All-Around Science. We talk about science and just whatever we're currently interested in this last episode that just came out today, actually. It was all about me going and nerding out about how electricity works. So there's no news that inspired that.

I just went down a rabbit hole recently and then I was like, oh my God, this does not work the way I thought it does. Electricity is cool, man. That's the tease, by the way, is electricity does not work the way that you think it does. I'll give you the one quick, quick tease that might get you to listen, which is that if you have five meters of wire, it takes an electron. In that current carrying wire takes an electron to go from one end of, to go five meters through wire. It takes that electron about a day to go that whole distance. Wow. Really?

If that surprises you, if you're like, what? That absolutely surprises me. I thought it would be a lot, like, I thought it would be instantaneous. Yeah. Yeah. You know, the surprise will be, oh, it takes 14 seconds, Brian, for it to travel. Like, oh, my God, I didn't think it would take that long. Yeah, you didn't even take it.

It would take 14 seconds. Right. It takes an entire day. And if that surprises you, then you're like me. And that's what sent me on this rabbit hole. And then I just, it got too close to the episode recording day. And I was like, I haven't researched anything. I guess we're just talking about electricity.

Did you do the thumbnail like this guy? Did you make one of these? Or it's just like, yeah, that was me. And first I did a like, what? Yeah, yeah. Freaking hate them. They're all like this.

And I hate them. They are. And they have to have big letters and an arrow. Somewhere it has to have an arrow. I don't know why. But you've got to have an arrow. Why is there? Yeah, why?

The prepundance of arrows in YouTube thumbnails now. That makes me feel like we're all dumb faces. Yeah, it makes me feel like we're all dumb or something. Right, exactly. Are we all dumb? Is that what this is? It basically is, uh, yeah. Shit.

No, we're not. But you know what you would be dumb? Make it go with an arrow. You would be dumb if you didn't go to nerdtacular. Oh, you'd be so dumb. Well, well done with the segue. Well, I mean, you know, we don't want to tell them too dumb. You wouldn't be that.

dumb. But we would love you to come. We got some really cool stuff coming up. I can't even, like the gaming panel we're doing, you guys, it's going to be insane the people were having on that thing. Yeah. Too insane. Some might argue too insane. Yeah. You're going to get double the insane for the price of a single insane. Yeah, that's just one of the examples. The two days that will be the Frog Pants All-Stars mega competition that we do with these things, going to be incredible. Brian will be wearing a weird hat, some kind of coat thing. Maybe.

Yeah, you don't know. We're going to have lots of fun activities that you can do just walking around like bingo cards and quests. And scavenger hunts. I was talking to TV's Travis

not too long ago and he's going to help me put together some really fun stuff for just people to do while they're just there. Love it. And it's... As if they're going to have any downtime.

I mean, this, this, you know, this, uh, schedule, no one's going to want to skip anything. It's like, oh, I want to see that. And I want to see that right after it. And I want to see that other thing. Sure. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It is. Yeah. You'll want to sleep when you get home because overnight, you're going to want to play board games. That's right. Yeah.

You want to go, you want to hang out with your friends and go get a drink and have and, uh, hang and play board games. Well, you're not going to be able to do it during the day because it's jam packed. That's right. That's right. J can't sleep. It's like Jurassic Park. Jampack.

That's right. Real quick, also, Bobby and I did an episode of the instance and put it up. We were supposed to have another one this weekend, but we had things kind of fall apart around here. But anyway, if you're interested in what's going on in the new expansion, Midnight and World Warcraft, that's also a thing you can get. I'm just loving the new World Warcraft Pocopia. I can't stop playing it. I'm trying to collect all the orcs and the elves and the dwarves and stuff.

How often do you lay on the floor after a fight? You just lay in the? All the time, all the time. I go and I throw a Warcraft ball and catch something, and then I lay on the ground. Good. This is what I do. Yeah. Damn it.

I want to get that thing. Carter also wants me to get it. I'm probably going to have to go. Oh, yeah. She should talk you into it. And then we'll need to take some GLP ones to cut the addiction. There you go. The Pocopia addiction that will surely lie head in all of our lives.

Exactly. Bobby, always a pleasure having you around. I hope nothing but. good things happen to you this fine day. And next time we meet, may it be under similar circumstances. I don't know why I'm saying all this. Bye now. All right.

None of that made sense. All right, let's move on to a quick note about post-show today. There's been some confusion in previous weeks where the folder I check for classic mashups has never had a mashup in it. And I wasn't sure why. Well, now I know why because I was looking in the wrong folder. So, long story short, there is a classic mashup coming up after the song today. It's called Rim Job.

Rim job Jimmy John I don't know how I feel about that Don't order that one No your your Jimmy chips Yeah 2020 by the way That's when that happened Jimmy John sounds so good for my last meal Ooh dude

You could do a lot worse than that I think that'd be okay Although we've got left over Tina made Beef Stroganov for the Oscar thing last night I need to eat that for lunch Stroganoff's pretty good Yeah my sister brought us a giant lasagna

I'll probably have to I can't justify going anywhere while I have that No, definitely not. And you guys, you and I also have pie from Pie Day, things to Petcholich. Oh, yeah, Petcholich's Pie Day. Yes, I love to seeing that. We were even, T and I were talking about how, dang it, we need to go get a pie.

It's pie day. And then she goes off to her cancer hike and I do a film sack. And I'm like, wait a minute, there's a pie on my porch. A porch pie. A porch pie. A porch pie. A porch pie. A Porch Pie.

A Picholic porch pie. That's fun to say. It is. Anyway, that's all going on there. So watch for that. Also, our website is frogpants.com slash TMS. You'll find all you need there. And the only thing you're missing, really.

Oh, a note today, 1 p.m. today, we'll have a Monday show. Me and Carter will be together doing that. Nice. You should probably beg me on air for that game. So we'll see. Good. Well, maybe I'll tune in so that I can help her out and get that, make it happen by the end of the Monday show. You will have bought it.

Everybody who's got it loves it. Yeah. It sounds like a winner. So, so freaking much to do. It's like, it feels like, um,

Animal Crossing times 10. Oh man. Yeah. Maybe I shouldn't get it. I know. Well, going to wipe me in. Like basically not,

not that there's that many tasks, but that you have that big world. Oh, right. Yeah. Because it's like a big open world thing. I'm excited about it. I will probably end up getting it. Um,

I'm sure you will. What else? Uh, this whole schedule is at frogpans. com slash schedule. Brian, you got something going on today? Not today.

What am I thinking? Oh, Bobby put up an episode today. That's what I was saying. Yeah, I put up, I'm going to put up an episode of soundography tomorrow. So we'll talk about that tomorrow. Daily Music headlines, of course. I talked this morning about the Oscars and Golden and the K-pop demon hunters. And as a matter of fact, our request kind of connects into that.

Look at that nice segue of mine. Andrew Lyon says, Hey, Sung Pion and Bulgogi, my wife lost her job last year, thanks to the orange-dusted dipshit getting a bunch of career civil servants who were guilty of nothing more than doing their jobs and trying to uphold the Constitution.

Well, thankfully, life has taken that awful event and turned it into a wonderful opportunity for us. On March 20th, we're leaving the United States for my wife's new job in South Korea. It was a bit of a rough spot, but her strength during this turbulent time has been a constant, for me to always persevere.

I love you so much, Hannah, and I'm so excited to go on this adventure with you. That's, that's, actually, it's me. No, that's me saying it. Sorry, you had to find out this way. This is a hard way to find that out. That's right. Covermaster, please play me a song to see us safely on our way to start a new chapter in our lives.

If you can find a Korean cover of a love song, that would be pretty cool. P.S. This isn't goodbye for good. We're planning on coming back in three. years, hopefully to a deshittified government so my wife can keep serving the American people and finish her career. Nice. And Young, Arborist, Andrew. Remember, Andrew, and everybody else who makes a request three-word, three-word fictitious

closing, you know, like, yeah. We reward it. We love it. Symbolic cheese expert or something like that. Yeah, we're huge into that, and you guys don't do it enough. You need to do it more. We need to keep doing it. We leave on March 20th, so I'd love it if you play.

the song sometime between the 16th and 19 so I can let her listen to it on the plane. Well, I'm going to let you listen to it now. The time on not playing this song because of the Super Bowl or the big game has passed, so I feel like we're okay playing this now.
