We just saw a fantastic example of a world leader using the magic of selling to assist our guests. Now it's up to you to make what we just saw reality in every Toys R Us location on June 13th. When Game Boy Advanced is released. How did you know that was there? He was watching through a crack in the door. The morning stream. He's taking a dump in a can. Hey, everybody, get out your shalelys and grab your ladies.

It's time for the morning stream. I couldn't think of another word to rhyme with shalili. Yeah, I know, because they would say lasses, but hold on to your asses and grab your lasses. Oh, that's so much better. We should have coordinated before. but I didn't even think about it. I did no idea. We were going to be happy St.

Patty's Day, everybody. We hope you're having a good one. It's me and Brian, Scott and Brian today on the TMS show. Scott and Brian. Yes. Here in the morning, doing the news and the weather on the nines. Dino's all excited. She was going to make corn, beef, and cabbage, because that's what she does every St. Patrick's Day.

And it's always amazing. Does in the crock pot cooks for the whole day and makes the house just smell like a, like a pub. Heavenly do. And then I have a Guinness. with it. It's like a perfect thing. But today no. Today is a prep day for the colonoscopy.

So, jello, clear liquids, uh, Gatorade, uh, popsicles. Green Gatorade? Green. Uh, which Gatorade did she get? I didn't see the, I know the bottles are in the fridge, but I didn't see what color. Probably, probably green gatorade. Yeah, probably yellow. Yeah.

Yeah. That's like, yeah, I think it's the easiest to have a ton of. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So, exactly. It's two different bottles, and I know there are two different flavors because they look different, but I couldn't, if you put a gun to buy it, I could not tell you what color they were. One of them might be, one of them might be the white Gatorade. What is that like snow blind or something?

I don't know what it's called. It's got some weird. It's like barely a flavor name. It's like a, yeah, yeah. It's more like a condition. Right, exactly. Yes. Yes.

Well, that's, you know, you're on your way. You'll get in there, a little tiny leprechaun. I'll put a tube up your butt. Everything will be great. It'll be great. Yeah. I tell you, we found some lucky charms. Oh, your lucky charms didn't make it hold away through the tunnel. No, you're going to do great. And, of course, this is a thing we should encourage everyone to do.

Absolutely. Yep. Get out there, get it done. If you are around, I think the age they'd say now is 45. If you have risk factors in your family, start earlier. Do it like 40, I believe, is the recommendation. And then get in there. And it doesn't hurt a thing.

It's really the prep is the pain. but once you're done with that. The actual colonoscopy, as long as you're asleep for it, is the best nap you'll ever have. You don't get Dr. Early Fingers. Exactly, yes. You'll be okay. Hootie, Pumpkin Cottage book vendor.

Hootie is getting his done today. Right now, probably, as we speak. Oh, he's in. Right, right. He's not doing prep today. He's in today. He's in today. He did prep yesterday, and he's doing the thing today.

I wonder if there's any risk to drunkenness on the doctor or nurse's parts to do it on St. Patrick's Day. I mean, I feel like it's more worry about a hangover tomorrow morning when they do mine. That's a good point because it's tomorrow nights. It's tonight they're going to get slodged. I think, yeah, I think most people don't really do their heavy drinking on Tuesday night. They do it, you know, the whole Saturday thing I did Uber on Saturday, and it was everybody going to, St. Patrick's Day party or going downtown to drink or going to the, we got a great Irish pub over here near us called Clancy's.

And they make, man, their shepherd's pie is amazing. They've got like a Guinness stew. The fish and chips are fantastic. Like, it's all really, really good. That sounds awesome. And a name like Clancy's a better be because they're going all in on that. Yes. Maybe I should not be talking about good food right now.

Let's talk about anything else right now. Well, yeah, no more food. Today we talk about things that aren't food. For example, we have our Oscar winners in our Oscar pool. Yay! Let's see if we can give, can we give people a, I want to give them a little noise here. Let's see. I don't think I have that one.

No, no, no. Act to. No, no. How about, no? No. Gosh, dang it. Where's something good? I want something that's like, here we go.

That's dumb. All right. Great. Okay. They get a quarter. They get a quarter. Congratulations. Pac-Man is now ready to play. You guys, you guys did well, it turns out. We had a five-way tie. Excuse me, four-way tie. Four-way tie. I don't know why I said five. Oh, I know why, because Randy's in this tie, but I'm not, he's not getting a prize. He doesn't. He's ineligible to win. He's part of staff. He can't win. Any more than if I had a tied here, I'm not going to win. So we're giving it to the four who did. Now, I don't want to surprise anybody and shock anyone. but our Las Vegas book expert gambler man uh-huh

Mitsula Chris Minton was one of our winners he um he knows how to call him man he doesn't know how to call him I think you know he might have an inside edge not obviously not unknown who the Oscars are going to but all those betting sites

you kind of if you take a look at who which which choices are getting the most votes it probably helps a lot Yeah, I assume he's got trusted sources. He probably has methods to this madness. I haven't talked to him about it yet. I kind of want to just kind of pick his brain. I'd be curious to see if he did it just completely from his own picks

or if he looked at any like, well, the odds makers are saying it's going to be one battle after another. And this is going to go to, you know, Deltoro. And this is going to go to Hamnet and blah, blah, blah. Sure. And it looks like they all did 19 out of 24 answers correct. that's the high mark. Nobody aced it. I don't,

nobody could have with that tie. I guess we still could have given it to him, but I mean, it depends on if you give somebody, if they pick one of the two that won, they still get a point, right? Or do they get half a point because it's a split? I'm checking right now.

They get, I don't know how all that works. They, as it's set up now, because we didn't really anticipate it, they got a point. if they picked one. If they picked either one of the winners.

Yeah. So that actually probably, I think it improves one of those for this. I think so, too. And that was live action short. Live action, yep. Yeah.

The fact that Jane Austen's period drama didn't get the, was not one of the two is so disappointing. But two people exchanging saliva. Still absolutely, go check it out. If you see only one live action short, make it that one if you see two add the Jane Austen one in there because they're both great

really really clever I do have one thing to say about the title you mentioned earlier yes to people exchanging saliva yeah gross that's gross that's good at you yuck yeah either it is both of those both of those words that that's a disgusting title and I'm not saying it's a I realize it's probably like you know a million titles that are evocative of something but it's not really the point and right so what's what's great about it is that that it's the the movie is a dystopian future where kissing is outlawed. So people walk around eating onions before they're able to walk into a shopping mall. They have to breathe in this guy's face and he has to smell to make sure that they don't have good breath so that they, they kiss.

That scene right there, I thought of you as soon as I saw. I was like, oh, this is Scott would not, Scott would not do well with this scene. I don't like it at all, no, sir. but it's really it's really good it's really cleverly done too I need to I'll end up seeing that one but yeah yeah anyway let's give a shout out to these guys Trevor I'm not going to say his last name it's in his email but he didn't list it so I don't know he didn't list it so yeah sure Trevor Paul Jarnigan oh yeah that's perfect he went to that feels feels right yeah sounds Irish

uh Mitzula as I mentioned earlier I guess I said his full name earlier, but the micrula. Yeah, the micrula. Everybody knows him. Yeah, everybody knows that guy. And Brian Bedard, Bedard. Is it be Bedard? I think Brian Bedard. Yeah. Oh, I like Bedard. It's kind of fun to say, Brian Bedard. Brian Bedard. He needs to be an author. This book was from Brian Bedard. Best selling author, Brian Bedard. With a name like Bedard, it has to be good. That's right. Anyway, these guys are going to get some form of prize. What that is yet, I don't know. I'm working on. Awesome, how in a year we had a two-way tie during the Oscars, we had a four-way tie for the Oscar pool. Unprecedented in the history of our Oscar pool, which really is this year. Well, we had one last year for Film Sack. We did. We just didn't do any kind of like data analysis

or we didn't award anybody with anything. And I really, these are fun to do it this way. It makes me actually more into the thing when I know that a bunch of us are, doing this friendly, you know, it's probably why, if I actually took the time, I'd probably like to get back into, like, fantasy football or something sometime. Oh, really? Oh, good luck with that. That's, uh... I don't love the real hardcore stuff. Well, I'd like doing the, like, hey, I think this team will win this week. Yeah.

And then just see if they won this week. See, that one I'll do. The pick-and-pools? Great. Fine. I'll do those. I'm not going to do fantasy football. It's way too much maintenance. March Madness. The brackets are out. You can do that. Oh, right. If you're really itching to start some. something, Scott, do a March Madness bracket. Are any of my Utah teams in there? Get BYU or Utah in there?

Do we know? Let me take a look. I have paid so little attention. I got an invitation to do a, to do a bracket from a guy who's, who always pulls me into the team or into the, I don't know if I'm going to do it this year. Let's see. It's always just, yeah, BYU is, BYU is, okay, yes, quit giving me ads. Uh, BYU is, uh, is over here on the right. Um, what about, uh, what Utah state or what, uh, either Utah state or Utah, just Utah University or I doubt UVUs in there.

I don't see. Or Southern tech or whatever they call it now. Used to be Dixie. They're not in there. Um, nope. I don't see Utah anywhere else in here. Damn it. We had potential. I went to a game. Oh, there is. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm are Utah State up here playing against playing against Villanova but Oh well then goodbye Utah State You know what? That's at 8-9 That is one that I would usually pick the upset I'd usually pick the I pick the nines

And I pick the 12s beating the five sometimes So maybe that's where my head goes Yeah but BYU it looks like they must be a Because they're not playing against anybody In the first round they're an automatic buy-in to the That can't be right They must be playing against they must be playing against a winner of a second bracket,

or not second bracket, but like a wild card team or something. Yeah, I don't know how any of that actually works. I don't either. I don't know. I know people are excited about it, though. In fact, when we go, Kim and I are going to go over to our local place called The Break. Every year they do a big St. Patrick State thing. There's a bagpipe player there, and they specifically Irish bagpipes,

as opposed of the Scottish. I guess there's a difference. I couldn't tell you the difference. I had no idea there was. I had no idea there were Irish bagpipes. They told us this last time. They went, yep, there's a very, the guy had like a little presentation.

Most people think, they think of the Scottish when they, and he says, but really the Irish are the ones. And he explained the whole thing. And I still, I kind of don't remember most of the origin story, but there was something there about the Irish

and the Scottish. Interesting. kind of shared this history. Anyway, the point is, we're going to do that, and they'll probably have, all the TVs will be basketball. That's what it'll be. Sure, sure.

I'm going to walk in there, and it's going to be squeaky floors. Yeah, I mean, it won't be, it won't be part of March Madness because the first round starts Friday. Oh, no, Thursday. Oh, well, then I'm good. So it might be, it might be NBA. NBA is still, you know, they're playing. That's true.

Yeah. Yeah. poorly in some teams cases. Yep. Well, anyway, guys, congratulations. Thanks for taking part and everybody else who did, too. There were a few real close ones, but those were our top four. You all tied for first place.

Congratulations, and we'll definitely do this again. Yeah, we'll figure out a tiebreaker question, too. Yeah, because that's a typical one is what time will the telecast end? Right. But there's got to be something more fun. Like, how many times will, um, will some word get mentioned or or some funny some funny thing. Did I miss that?

So there was talk or rumors or whatever that Will Smith was presenting. Did I miss that? Did he do that? No, he didn't present. I actually thought I saw a thing from Google News. I didn't follow the link, but that he was, even though he was there last year, he was not allowed to come to this year's ceremony.

Oh, really? Yeah. but I didn't follow the link to see because it's usually like, you know, headline to get you to go read the story and then the story really isn't that. Yeah. So I don't know if he really was or if he just chose not to or if somebody named Oscar asked him not to come to the. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what to.

I thought, I don't know why I was, I saw something that said he was going to be there and it was a big deal because when was the punch or the slap was 20, 21. I think. Right. And so it's been a while, so maybe it was like the memorandum for how long you have to get grounded for what's over or whatever and he was going to get up. I don't know. Exactly. Like they always had that thing where the last year's winner of the acting categories comes out and does the nominations for nominees for the current year. Right. So Kieran Culkin came out and didn't give the award to Sean Penn, which was. I like he's coming. Sean Penn can be here, didn't want to be here.

Turns out he's in Ukraine this week. Yeah, he's actually doing, you know, he's doing this humanitarian stuff. Yeah, he's hardcore about that stuff and he wants to do that stuff. And some of it is a little extreme. But I respect that. He thinks it's more important than him getting the award. You know what?

That's kind of old school Hollywood, these guys, these mavericks in the 70s and 60s where they're like, I'm taking your award. I'm pissed about what you did. to the Native Americans in that deal or whatever and they don't show up or they have the lady take it for them. Like I kind of miss those. I do like those yeah those those egregious moments. So who is it Michael? Who is the bowling for Columbine director? Michael Man, Michael Moore. More, yes. His whole thing. Shame on you, Mr. President. Shame on you.

Yeah. I could have about 30 presenters doing that. I know. Currently on the show. Yeah. And I, some of that stuff I usually get pretty cringy, but once in a while I feel like someone's being genuine about their thing. Yeah. And in his case, it was just like, I'm busy. Yeah, I got shit to do. Yeah, well done. Good for him.

Yeah. And secretly, I walk that way and I talk that way now, and that's just me to talk about. He, by the way, I know I said he. Oh, Will Smith, he's got a 10-year ban. And so this is year four of his 10-year band. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, so he's not, we won't see him back at the Oscars potentially until 12. You got a mention from Michael B. Jordan.

He did, yeah. Like talking about the people who came before. And, you know, he deserves to be on that list, 100%. He does. He does. He's also a great actor. He also should not have slapped Chris Rock. He definitely should not have.

Yeah. It was wild watching the previous season of Fargo with Chris Rock and thinking, man, that Chris Rock would have just taken it. He will spit out. That version, the Mob Boss Chris Rock. The mob boss Chris Rock without even flinching. Yeah, that would have been a done deal. Yeah.

It's funny. By the way, chat results on the poll. Let's just share these real quick. Oh, yeah. Punch or pinch. Pinch winning by a landslide. 90%, 10% punch. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't, I think that's normal. I think 10% of you, yeah, only three people have ever done the punch for not wearing green. Yeah. I think that just says that, you know, three of you are very violent. And maybe you should look into that. Yeah. If you're coming to Nerdtacular, just let us know. we'll watch for you. Exactly.

We might have you stay in your room for a little bit. Or we tell everyone to wear green. I'll bring this tape. Right. Everybody can put a, right. It's like we'll be wearing it like AIDS ribbons or something. Yeah. Yeah. Perfectly normal thing to do.

All right, you guys, it is time for some news. Later on we got Amy coming on. Got a book to recommend and all that fun stuff. while Cootie's getting his plumbing checked we will be checking his website for a book that Amy's going to recommend so that'll be fun. Stick around for that, but in the

meantime, the news. It's brought to you by. Brought to you by a brand new episode of Soundography. It went up today. Hammond and I will listen to the entire library of Nickelback. We listened to every single album, every single song. What did we think?

You might be able to guess. but you might be surprised, but you probably won't be. What do we think? You'll listen to the current episode of Soundography at Soundography.com. If nothing else, it was a lot of fun to record that episode and talk about how I described Nickelback. You know when the holidays come around, and Pillsbury puts out their tube of Christmas cookies. It's kind of like the tube of chocolate chip cookies. Yeah.

But they're Christmas cookies, their sugar cookies. and they've got a little pattern inside. So when you cut the pattern, like you put them in the oven, it's like, oh, it's got a star, or it's got a Christmas tree or whatever. My experience with each song on the Nickelback album was basically like cutting another same-looking cookie

that had the same thing inside and did not change for eight albums or however many albums. That sounds right. That's a good comparison. I did you well I don't want to spoil anything but did you come away at least going it's not like this stuff is terrible it's just it's just repeating and it's repeating they don't they very form they were very formulaic they followed a very consistent pattern and if you like the pattern if you like one of those songs you chances are you like all of their songs but um the the yeah they never really ventured out with anything like you know what let's try and do something really different on this song or let's do this and um they just kind of like said all right we start with this we do this then a verse then a course then a bridge then a course and um yeah it wasn't it wasn't enough different now i did manage to find

and include in my my end of episode playlist a cover that they did of captain and teneal's love will keep us together oh my god um which they recorded for um triple j in australia and it was It sounds great, dude. It actually is really good. It's acoustic. Did they ever say, look at this photograph during the song? They don't. No, unfortunately, they don't.

That's a shame. Well, that's cool. Soundography.com. Soundography.com. Soundography.com. Spill it just like it sounds. Yep. Let's get to this camel pageant story.

I've been holding on to this for a couple of days. Yeah. There was a camel pageant, and it was thrown into pure chaos after 20 competitors in the camel pageant. A pageant for camels, if I haven't made that clear. Uh-huh. We're disqualified for using hump-plumping injectables. First thing, I had to look down and see if this was an onion article because this feels like it would be an onion article.

100%. This is one of the few times where I did some extra digging to make sure that somebody wasn't going to go, you guys, this is a parody thing. You totally got fooled. Yeah. But it's the independent for hell's sakes. And it's also, I looked it all up. It's a tradition. They've been doing these forever. So they really get, it really matters like they get graded on their lovely camel humps. Yeah, their lovely

camel humps. And if you are caught hump plumping, which is an amazing term. It is. It feels like what was the song? Was it Sloan was the band? You hobo humpin snowbow babe! Sounds like a

lost lyric to that. Wasn't Sloan. What was the name of that band? hobo-humping. You know the song, right? I can't think of the Sloan. Whale. Whale is the band.

Whale. Sloan. That's a girl I dated in high school. I dated a girl named Sloan. Yeah. She was nice. Yeah. It's an unfortunate name.

It just feels like an unfortunate name. Yeah, I don't like. The name is bothersome. But for whatever reason, she wore it well. It's hard to explain. what I mean by that. You know, some people match their names really well.

Yeah, yeah. She matched it. I don't know what that means, but she did. Interesting. Every Rachel I've ever met fits the name. Oh, interesting. Yeah, I've never met a Rachel that didn't seem like a Rachel. That's even true of like Rachel McAdams.

She looks like a Rachel to me. She does look like a Rachel. Yeah, I like her. That's the most ADHD thing I've done today. We've gone from camel plumping. Pimble-plumping to talking about women named Rachel. I love that hump. It's not hump-pumping.

That's what I would have called it. I like hump-lumping better. That's, I mean, that feels like it's a bridge too far, calling it hump pumping. Yeah. It says their owners enhance their humps and other features with injectable fillers, silicone wax, and Botox. Poor camels, man. Wow.

Oh, they probably can't feel. They're just big bags of water. Yeah, and they just go, oh. Yeah, it's fat. fat and it's not really like water sacks it's like fat but the sound coming out of count yeah yeah when we were kids we were led to believe by the cartoons that those two humps were full they were just water tanks like hot water bottles basically uh yes yeah like they had a tap somewhere i could just put your little cup too or something like i'm thirsty yeah cartoons taught me everything i know yes and all of it's

true last month veterinary inspectors of the twenty six camel beauty show festival in al musanani oman I'm sure I got that first part wrong. I don't even know where you got some of the letters. Musana. Is it just Musana? Yeah. There's no letter there that would give an E sound that you could. I think I threw an L in there, just fun too.

You might have. Musalani. Musalani Oman. Discovered that the camels have undergone several cosmetic procedures to enlarge the size of their humps, using a mix of injectables similar to dermal fillers that human fillers, like on their lips and their chins and cheeks and stuff. according to I didn't realize it's like the same stuff anyway according to vice and Forbes

that's a great combo Vice and Forbes because Vice and Forbes have you been injured in an accident yeah call Vice and Forbes Will we fight for you it sounds less like a like a like a law firm and more like an 80s cop buddy cop drama TV show

Vice and Forbes Friday on NBC that's right The disqualified camels have received a mix of injectables. They mention a bunch of these again. They keep talking about the injectables. Botox to soften their faces, silicone wax to inflate their humps, hydroly or high or high, sorry, hyerronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid. Anyway, injected for their pouty lips. You know, because when you think of camels, you think of their pouty lips. Exactly. Dear pet house farm. So these guys, festival organizers have said they are working to halt all acts of tampering and deception and the beautification of animals or camels, adding that they would impose strict penalties on manipulators going forward. Camels are judged on four key features. Their coat, their neck, and their humps.

And head, don't forget head. Oh, yeah, and their head, sorry. I skip their head. Their head. Head and humps. Heds matter. We feel like to kell us on. We're dangerously close to.

I know. My neck, my coat. My head and my humps. All right. Two questions. Number one, do Bactrian camels have an advantage just because of the extra hump? Like, do they... Oh, interesting.

Are they graded separately than the Dramedaries? Like, do they have, you know, well, here's our dromedary evening gown collection. Then here's our Bactrian. Maybe they do it separate. Yeah. But the more important question is, how do you figure out that they're injecting stuff? It's, you know, these things are covered with fur.

Are you looking for like, like, uh, holes? Like, uh, like, uh, little pocky, like, uh, right, exactly. Because didn't they do this recently when they did that, the White House photo shoot for time or whatever it was and the closeups were like super detailed and kind of grody. And one of them was, what's her name, spokesman, the press secretary. and she had little tiny pricks all around her lips. Oh, really? And I think that might be a sign that you're doing it.

Yeah. I think you get, I think when you get those, when those show up. She'll have pricks around her mouth. You heard it here, folks. Oh, man. That'll go over well. Tiny, it's important to mention tiny pricks around her mouth. Tiny pricks.

Yes, exactly. But I don't know about it. The lighthouse is filled with tiny pricks. That's right. So the, there, uh, Jeannie said maybe blood test. Kelly 1 3D. It's in ultrasound. Yeah, you know, that's the...

Oh, and Arabs don't use Bactrian camels only dromedaries, so only the single humpers. They're very strict. Who's got the double humpers? Who uses those? Nobody? Are they made up? Somebody has to use them.

They've got to be used. They exist, right? They're real. Yeah, of course. Let's see. I'm trying to find... Who uses... I just found some.

It says, judges of the event now use advanced technology to uncover tampering with camels. All contestants are first led into a... where their external appearance and movements are examined by specialists before they undergo x-ray and other tests of their heads, necks, and torsos. So some kind of, not far off from what someone in the chat suggested with ultrasound, but imaging technology to look through and see what's going on. Humphraise. Yeah, basically humpraise.

There you go. It's my favorite sex fish. Yes. Humperais. Oh, man, those things won't stop. Let's see. Here's a final story before we pull Amy in. Okay, sounds good.

A tarot card, tarot card TikToker. Uh-huh. Must pay $10 million to a professor she accused in Moscow murders. So it's kind of a twisted story, but a jury in Boise. This is up there in Idaho, right? But this is part of our hat up where I live. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Utah's hat, awarded 10 million in damages on Friday to a University of Idaho professor who sued a Texas woman for defaming over a fabricated claim she repeatedly made on social media that the academic was responsible for the Moscow college student murders.

She was doing it with tarot card. That's how she was accusing him. I think that shit should be freaking out. I mean, it should be. Well, at least, you know, like... I guess this sort of thing happens, so this is good. You know? I mean, yeah, exactly.

Terro cards saying, oh, you're going to meet the love of your life in three months, be ready, or it might be time to make a change in your career or whatever. You know, basically the placating bullshit, the tarot cards. Sorry to those folks who are really into them and believe in the cups and the swords and the whatever, the other two. I mean, I'm making. I have it's not done, but I'm going to eventually print and make frog pants themed tarot cards. Oh, really? But I am not doing them.

for the mumbo jumbo, some people think these cards have in them. Yes. I'm doing them because they're cool. It's a fun way to do art. Like the, you know, the Art Nouveau style of tarot cards,

super cool. I love, I'm a big Art Nouveau fan. I love Al Falsmucha. Oh, yeah. My favorite art Nouveau artist. But to come up with the accusation that somebody murdered

college students using tarot cards, like, well, let's see. Oh, I've drawn college student and, oh, murder and... Idaho. What? Idaho, exactly. Yeah, so he's getting $10 million. Although this person, there's no way this person has $10 million.

No. Well, I mean, I don't know how well her TikTok is going. Probably not well enough to pay $10 million. Probably not. So who knows if you'll even get much of that. But still, beware if you're a mumbo-jumbo salesman. Yeah. It's all horseshit.

I don't know. Ember, we won't laugh at you if you bring them. And Saznack brings up a very good point. Tarot is more useful as gaining a different perspective on stuff that is weighing on you than being something that necessarily predicts anything. All the, all like the real tarot card readings that I've seen. And there's like a woman that does it at the Renaissance Festival, who's like a real genuine, you know, not just dressed up as like, I'm pirate lady doing tarot card reads. But her method is 90% asking you questions and 10% flipping cards.

And it's more about like almost like a therapy session that actually has props. Yeah. There's fun to be had, no doubt. You can enjoy it. You can have, there's probably some therapeutic stuff, all that stuff. But anybody that's claiming me that the cards are telling you anything. Right. Even if you're my best friend, I don't, I'm still telling you that's horseshit.

Yeah, yeah. Guys, come on. They're cards. We need to do some frog pants dice coming as well. Oh, that sounds good, actually. Yeah, no, it's like that. My mother-in-law, rest her soul, just passed away. Most of my marriage would just hound on this fact.

If we had playing cards anywhere in the house, I just mean a regular deck of poker cards. Yeah. She'd lose her mind. And the reason she does that is way back in the 70s, a religious leader, looked up to, got up during a speaking thing and said, playing cards are close to tarot cards and terror cards are of the devil or something. And she just never would let that go. So we're playing like slap jack or slapjack and you know. Go fish. Yeah, go fish. And she's losing her mind over it. She never got over that. Just the hardest thing for her to deal with. And it's just like

they're cards, their paper. Exactly. They can't tell you anything. Like, you know, reading tea leaves or, um, uh, the only, the only thing I feel like there's, there, that's in this realm that there's kind of a basis to is astrological symbols, only because, um, well, and I want to preface this because I do sound, I'm already hearing that it sounds kind of crazy, but like different times of year, being born different times of year and being affected by different, um, uh, different, you know, temperatures and climates and moon phases and things like that. I feel like it's, there's a little bit more to that. But I'm not, but you're reading a horoscope is bullshit. Yeah. Like if I, if I get headaches, if I get headaches in a certain

time of year where the, there's a high pressure system and I live in the 1600s, I'm probably going, why doth the Lord punish me this time of year? You know what I mean? Right. But really, it's just some scientific reason that I'm just a little sensitive to the freaking high pressure. But the way BioCal, but he said, like in one sentence, he phrased it so much better than I have. It's societal. Having a birthday in winter versus summer.

Yeah, exactly. Like those sorts of things, you'll become, you'll have different, different things will affect you in life based on, all right, yeah, I have a summer birthday. I'm, you know, we do part. I'm a partier, but oh, no, we have one in winter, so I'm used to kind of staying inside and on that sort of thing. Yeah. But because you're a Leo doesn't necessarily mean you're going to have more success with money or because you're a Virgo. You've, you know, you're a better lover or whatever. Yeah.

Yeah. And it's like taking, you know, fortune cookies seriously. You just can't. Right. Exactly. You can't do it. Yes. Guys, I'll tell you what, we can't.

do. We can do this if I can find my way here. Here we go. One of the things that I enjoy also is reading. Well, well, well, look who it is. If it isn't Amy Robinson here to tell us what we should be reading. Amy, welcome back to the show. Oh, good morning, friends. How are you? Good, good. You? How are you? That's an important question. You doing all right? Yeah, I am. I'm doing it just fine. Fantastic. Trying to join this here video call here. Sweet. So the things we should be reading. or not tarot cards is what you're telling you. Yeah.

Well, okay, so yeah, I was listening, and I actually want to weigh in on that because I do, I like what y'all said that it's like therapy with, with props. So, you know, there, I, I feel like there's value in, you know, looking at a card and thinking about the insight that it gives you into yourself. And, you know what I mean?

I don't think there's like any mystical forces behind it or anything. but I think it's, I think it can be useful. How much is it? How much about it is like dealing the R&G for life? Here's a gamer term applied to it. But if you pull, you pull up a card and go,

oh, here's the death card. You know what I mean? Like how much does that play into it overall? I know it does in some cases, which are the cases I'm irritated with, which is like, oh, no, that means you're going to die. But is it, how much does that randomness play into the more therapeutic

thinking around it. You know what I mean? I don't know. Sure. Yeah. I mean, I'll give you, I'll give you an example. So like there's somebody that, you know, I'm, I'm friends with on TikTok and she does like a live thing or whatever. And she says, oh, you know, if you do my little daily heart me, I'll pull a tarot card for you or whatever. And there was one day where I had like, this is not different from any other day with me, but I had like a pile of creative projects that I was not doing for various reasons. And, And she pulled a particular card. This will show you how not knowledgeable about this I am.

I don't remember which card it was. September could probably tell you. But like, you know, she pulled a card that was essentially meant like, you know, it had like a creativity kind of thing to it and whatnot. And it was like basically the message was like, hey, that thing you are afraid of trying to do, like go do it. you know, and it was kind of like what, what I wanted, what I needed to hear in that moment. I was like, that's, that's really cool. Like, yeah. And, you know, I will get to work on that thing that I've been afraid to do. But again, like, I don't feel like it was like the universe telling me a thing. I think

it was just that was what my brain wanted to interpret about that. Like you said, like it's like therapy with props. Yeah. So, you know. Yeah. I think the. Right. And I think that's kind of the astrology thing, too. It's less about like reading the horoscope and saying, oh, today is you going to be your lucky day. It's more about saying, oh, you know, this, this grouping of the planets or time of year says that I'm a fire sign. What about me is, you know, is heated and looking at that introspectively as opposed to saying, I'm only angry and hot because I'm a fire sign because I was born this summer. Right. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Like what part of my personality? is represented there. What can I, what can I glean? What kind of insight can I glean about myself? Sure.

Can I glean from that? You know, I think that's where it has, has value. Introspection is a good thing, no matter who you are. I heard an interview the other day with Mark Andreessen. He's kind of an A-hole, but he's the billionaire Nets, Netscape, founder. And now he's like all VC and money investment. He's a billionaire.

Anyway, kind of a douchebag. This doesn't change that. but he says someone in the in the interview asked him how do you how much introspection do you do meaning you know it's somebody in your position with wields great power and money and blah blah what's what's what's your form with you is oh i don't believe in introspection that's a made up modern term that people use uh to bumbo jumbo don't don't need no introspection don't need to look in we've got to look out we're always look outward and i was like meaning i'm a douchebag and I don't want somebody to hold up near to me that I'm a douchebag and thus I'm fine.

Can't any of the technology, man, Steve Jobs has had it right by getting out early. He died, but didn't want to get out. It was a pretty, you know, it's a hard way to get out. It wasn't really his choice. Exactly. But I mean, like, you get a lot of money and you turn into a whackadoo, man. You become, you become unable to truly distinguish from reality. and you say and do the weirdest things.

Unless you're Keanu Reeves. That's true. I mean, seriously, like, I'm not being funny. Like, it's, you know, he is from all accounts that I've seen, like, super kind, generous down-to-earth dude. Yeah. Who, like, is just super famous. What ends up happening? You've got to go full billionaire, I think, before you really lose it.

But they also want to go full billionaire so they get full pedophile protections. You have to get. Right. And that's the thing is like in order to go full billionaire, like there's no way Keanu Reeves will ever do that because he doesn't want that, right? Like he could. He certainly probably could. I don't, I don't know.

There's probably a path for him. It gets made per per per movie or whatever. And I don't know what his investments look like, blah, blah, blah, blah. But I mean, he could do that. Yeah. But, you know, he doesn't want to. Like my favorite example of that is, is Hank and John Green. You know, they have, they were like on the YouTube train very early and, you know, and have thus like launched themselves into, you know, nerdy stardom. And, you know, and they, I mean, they're millionaires, you know. And I mean, John is obviously an award winning author and his books get made into movies now and blah, blah, blah, blah, all that kind of stuff. But now all the projects that they do are 100% nonprofit. You know, like they just do projects because they get.

excited to do projects and they're like, I have enough money. Like I don't need, I don't need to amass giant. They live in like, you know, Indianapolis and Hank lives in like Missoula, Montana, right? Like, they're like, I don't need, you know, and they drive like a Prius or something. You know what I mean? Like they're just, they're like, I don't need to amass like giant piles of money. I would rather leave the world better than I found it. And to me, I'm like, they're doing it. I'm like, and I hope like if I ever, I don't think I ever will, but if I ever, you know, just suddenly came into like a huge windfall of money or whatever, I like to think that I would, I would be like them.

Yeah, I would hope so. But then maybe, just maybe I'd get all jacked like Bezos and I'd get, I'd get a mostly, a mostly made of rubber new wife, you know. Now the good news about that is, the good news about that is his ex-wife has, is the richest woman in the world or something or in the country at least. And she gives so much money away. Super philanthropic. Philanthropic.

Philanthropistic. I like that word. I'd be like Richard Branson. Like, you know, flying around a lot on a jet, but kind of just getting involved with music and not being all. Except for the Epstein Island stuff.

But yes. Oh, was he, was he, another one? Yeah, he was definitely there. They all went there. Yeah.

If you're a bill, if you're a billionaire, the chances that you went through those things are higher than the chances that Brian will fail his prep for his colonoscopy tomorrow. Yeah. And I was going to say like, oh, man, like all,

all condolences to you today, you'll get through it. Oh, yeah. Oh, he'll do great. Like, I just,

I feel for you today because I know exactly what you mean. Like, I, hate I hate both parts of it. I hate both the not eating and the drinking of the disgusting drink. And if I can do the disgusting drink in one go, I think it would be fine because like as opposed to every half hour drinking. Yeah. It's stretched out. The first half of it I don't have a problem with. It's the it's the get up in the middle of the night when you're already like shitting your brains out. You know, like and having to drink more of it. You know, it's like oh God. Yeah. You know what I really, I know what we need. Here's what we need. We need them to come up with a new plan. The new plan is this. You put me to sleep anyway. So just put me to sleep. I'll go in. I'll lay down. You put me to sleep. Yeah. Hook me up to a power hose while I'm asleep. Dyson. Dyson. Yeah. Jiggle Dyson up. Just fire it all out of there. Do the do the thing. I wake up. Bob's your uncle. You're done. So you would have it done through the whole. Yeah.

For the whole 24 hours basically kind of thing. Yeah. Just keep me under. Yeah. Okay. I'm fine with that. As long as I don't have to experience anything, any part of this. Awake.

Man. You could even do it like you take the same, you know, like pill or whatever in your case or whatever, you know, to just take the Uber, you know, super colon blow or whatever. But then they put you to sleep and then just let your colon do its thing. Yeah. And, you know, and just like you say, just hook it up to a Dyson or whatever, just suck it all out. Let's just do it all by Coligar. Let's all pooping boxes and ship it off to somebody else to look at it. And then like, oh, there might be a problem.

Then we'll do the actual full-on camera. Yeah. Yeah. I got given one of those kits once. And the nurse who gave it to me was like, playing in the dirt again. And I was like, ew. Ew. Oh, my gosh.

It's so gross. I hate that. Oh, that's awesome. I think next time somebody has a birthday. I'm going to make him a chocolate cake and give it to him in a colon guard coligard box. Perfect. Colingard box. Perfect.

Yuck is right. Yuck is indeed right. My poor kid, you know, he's got ulcerative colitis, so he has to have a colonoscopy like every year. Oh, geez. Yeah. And he's so frequent. Yeah. He has to have 10 colonoscopies in the amount of time that I can take a break before my next one.

That makes me feel bad that he has to do that. And he's like I said, he's 21. So like he started and he started doing this when he was. 19. So, yeah. Boo. Like his whole life he's got like, he knows just every year he's got to go in and have the alterative, ulcerative colitis is a mean,

that is a mean bastard that condition. Yeah. It's terrible. It is. It's what's the, what's the, because I know that's one of the things that there's a fun song and commercial for. What's the, what's the, the product that. Yeah, Stellara is the Stalara. That's it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's a, it's a, it's a

And I mean, it works really well. Like it, you know, he, he's, he's fully in, excuse me, fully in remission as far as I know. So it's working. That's fantastic. Yeah. It's expensive as all hell, but it works really well. But then the, the colonoscopy is just, they're there. Because that's a condition that can cause all of other risks, right?

So you got to go. Oh, yeah. Oh, for sure. All right. All right. Well, now we'll read a book. What do you think of that? Yes.

Yeah. I mean, like, while we're talking about toilet stuff, you may as well have a book to read. Let's do it. Let's do it. What did you bring this week? Any set up for this clip before I play it? Not really. You know, it's women's history month, so I picked a female author, and it's a book about women. So there you go.

Let's play it. Here we go. The pit was full of bones, and her hands were full of wires. Her fingers bled where the wire ends cut her. She picked up a bone, a long, thin one from the legs, and wrapped the ends with wire. Perhaps she might have built a man out of bones, but she had no great love of men any longer. Dogs, though. Dogs were always true. Now, as she sat in the pit of bones, the skeleton cradled against her chest twitched. Shh, whispered Mara into the skull's openings.

Shh. Bone dog, stone dog. Black dog, white dog. She bent back over the bone dog again, fingers moving on the wires, hoping to finish her task before darkness fell. The bone dog came alive at dusk. It was not quite completed, but it was close. She was bent over the left front paw when the skull's jaws yawned open and it stretched as if waking from a long slumber. Hush, she told it. I'm nearly done. It sat up. Its mouth opened and the ghost of a wet tongue touched her face like fog. She scratched the skull where the base of the ears

would be. Her nails made a soft scraping sound on the pale surface. The bone dog wagged its tail, its pelvis, and most of its spine with delight. Sit still, she told it, picking up the front paw. Sit and let me finish. Bone dog. I need a cold shower. I missed half of what she said because with that voice. Oh, right. I'll be in my bunk. Yeah. Yeah. I like it. That's a very, Nice read. Who is that? Is that a voice?

She does have a sultry voice, doesn't she? Hold on. I'm looking it up. You know, you think I would learn. Maybe it's the author link. I always have the, no, it's not the author. But I always have the information about the book ready. And then I forget to bring up the information about the narrator, which shame on me.

But, you know, narrated by Ameri Jasper. Amara. Amara. Amara. Amara. Amara. Jamara. Jasper. With a U, right, on the Jasper? No, with a, an E. J-A-S-P-E-R. Oh, here she has. I found her. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know this person. She did. Yeah. Where is it? Is it Dark Waters? No, no, no. I read a, I think that, actually that might be it. There's a book called Dark Waters. It's, oh, there it is. Is that her? No.

Yeah, that's her. That's why I know that voice. She did marry Dark Waters. Okay. That's totally. Yeah, she's got a good voice. She's got a good voice. Let's focus on her voice for longer.

Let's do it. Anyway, how is this book? You can do that if you listen to this book. So, yeah, the book is called Nettle and Bone. And it's by T. King Fisher. And it's, yeah, it's funny that we started by talking about how, you know, tarot cards and whatnot or a bunch of hoey. And then I give you a book that's like all fantasy

and magic and stuff. I love fantasy and magic. They just aren't claiming to be, you know, religiously real. Real. Yeah. Exactly. So this is, this book is really fantastic. I really, really enjoyed it.

And if you look at the blurb for it, you can, and if you know me, you know why you thought I loved it. But after years of seeing her sisters suffer at the hands of an abusive prince, Mara, the shy convent-raised third-born daughter, has finally realized that no one is coming to their rescue except for Mara herself. So basically, yeah, she's seen one of her sisters get killed by this prince.

And then they, you know, in order to continue to honor the, you know, the agreement, the treaty between their kingdoms, they marry off their second daughter to him. And, you know, it quickly becomes really obvious that, you know, he is abusing her. And so Mara runs away to go live in a convent. And then she befriends what's called a dust wife, which is basically a grave witch, someone who's, you know, a witch who's very skilled at dealing with the dead and things like that. And so she befriends her. And also there's like a demon-possessed chicken, which is hilarious. You know, I mean, come on.

You can't ask for anything more than that, really. You got a reluctant fairy godmother, a strapping former knight, and a chicken possessed by a demon. Like, it's, you know, what more do you need? Yeah. So it's a really, it's a really great fun story. You know, it's, it's very much a hero's journey. And, you know, and it's kind of like the reluctant hero, you know, she's always been this

very shy. kind of girl, you know, very unassuming. And then all of a sudden, you know, so much importance is placed on her, you know, to kind of save her family. So. Sounds great. Yeah. It's a great story. I think my daughter read this. It's familiar to me in that way. Taylor, I think read it. So I also just love the idea that, you know, she builds a dog out of bones and then brings it to life. And I mean, can't you just see from her description there? Like, Can't you just like see this dog made of bones? Like, and like hear the, I can hear the, the, the clinking sound of the bones while it's wagging its tail. You know what I mean? And like the fact that she could feel its ghost tongue, you know, even though there's obviously no tongue there, you know, it's just bones. But, yeah, and I love the bone dog.

The bone dog is just, he's great. And in there, in that first chapter, like she talks about how it's rare that. it's rare to find a person who is actually deserving of a live dog. You know, so, and I feel like that's true. It's like, yeah, we, you know, some people are really great people, but man, we don't deserve dogs because dogs are great. Dogs are wonderful. Dogs are the best. Very true.

Yes. I don't want to live in a world that dogs. Right. Exactly. Exactly. Even my weird. That's how I got these dogs that I have right now is because we had found out that I was allergic. And so, you know, Chuck and I,

we're planning on our last dogs being our last dogs because I'm allergic. And so it was like, okay, well, we just won't have dogs anymore. And then COVID happened. And we were in our house all the time. And try to live in a house without a dog in it when you've lived literally your entire life with a dog. You know, you've never, ever, ever lived your whole life without a dog in your house. And it just doesn't feel right.

It's like, no, this is wrong. I don't whatever. I'll just take Zyrtec forever. Like I need it. I need dogs. Like I need a dog. Just do a little intravenous bag of Zyrtec over your head all the time. Yeah.

I mean, you know, just take one every day. It's fine. It's fine. Well, there you go. So yeah. I wholly recommend. And it's a quick read. Honestly, like the audio book is only like nine hours.

So, you know, it's a quick read. And there you go. Nine hours of your sultry, um, Mara Jaspur. voice. You know, we can enjoy that. Would you say this fits into that category of, what do they call it?

Oh, shoot. My daughter told me the name. Romanticie? Yes. Yes. I wouldn't really. There's not a lot of romance in this. I,

you know, there's like, there's a little bit, because like I said, they come in contact with a former knight. So there's a little bit of like a, you kind of maybe ship two characters. characters a little bit, you know, while you're reading it.

Sure. But I definitely would not call it a romanticcy at all. Okay. It's, it's not, that's, that's not its focus. Okay. It's more of like, you know how like Frozen kind of surprised everybody? It was like, oh, well, like, the act of true love was actually between these two sisters. Yeah. It's like that.

Oh, okay. It's not, like, it ain't about like finding a prince. It's more about killing a prince, really. So, yeah. All right. Makes sense. I think this sounds like a good pick. and you can get it on the Pumpkin Cottage website.

The link is long and gnarly, so I'm not going to give you that. But if you go search the Pumpkin Cottage.com, sorry, yeah, pumpkin cottage.com, no, dot org. You could just go to quicktms. L. Better to do that. That's the way to do it. That's the easiest way to do it. If you're already on the website, that's linked there as well.

So just go get it and help out our friends over there who's, you know, currently having a colonoscopy himself. That's right. Right. Yeah. And they're actually in the. process of like upgrading their space. Yeah. Oh,

cool. Really? So yeah, I think I think you said that like the week of nerdtacular, uh, they're going to be like the week after that, they're moving into their larger space. Yep.

Wow. Just down the road, I think. Not too far, but still that's a big move. Yeah. Yeah. You ever try to move a giant,

a bunch of books around? That's a huge pain. They're freaking heavy. Like, yeah. Books are like, you have to package them in like little boxes because they're heavy. Yeah.

If you try to pack them in a big box, you can't, nope, can't lift it. You need a dolly to move them. Yeah, exactly. Exactly right. Well, there you have a question for you guys. Do either of you guys wear progressive lenses? Brian does right outside. Oh, wait, progressive is in the split view.

Yeah. Half like almost like bifocally, but smooth. Like, gradated bifocle. These right here. I'm not wearing them right now. I just got these yesterday. And like this is my first pair ever, you know. And like I feel like I'm like, I don't know.

man, I feel like I'm in a fishbowl. So you don't have the, you don't have the little cut. It's literally a transition one, right? Where you can. Yeah. Okay. So the way it works is my understanding. This is very, very brief understanding of how these works.

I just got them. But basically what mine are, they were designed to be computer's prescription for my distance, right? And if I'm looking at a computer like this, straight on, it's super sharp and everything's cool. And if I glance down at my keyboard without moving my head, it is also clear because these the lower part that's the focus distance so that's how it's supposed to be so we're used to moving our head around a lot I think and for me the way to get used to it was just

kind of it's more of a glance down thing and less of a movement so that might help you but you're still probably going to it's going to take a little while I get used to them yeah it's just very weird it's like okay I I I asked for it so I mean my my vision is not bad at all like I've you know I've just got the push in 50, you know, presbyopia, as they say. And, you know, so I had gotten to the point where I had my readers, you know, and I'll be sitting there. If I'm, if I'm playing on my phone or I'm looking at a crochet pattern or whatever while we're watching TV, I had to, like, wear my glasses like this. Yes, I do that.

Yeah. If I'm doing the New York Times crossword puzzle while we're watching TV, it's glasses down here, like readers down here. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, I love it. With your face like those feet are. Like my daughter's making fun of me. Like, why are you wearing your glasses like that?

I'm like so that I can see. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they don't understand. I think it looks like librarian bullshit. But when they get older, they'll understand. They're just not there yet. Yeah.

Yeah. So I thought maybe the progressives might help with that somewhat because then, you know, I've still got like I can look out at a distance without everything being blurry because I'm wearing my readers or whatever. Oh, you know. That's actually a good question is if you made, if your upper prescription, that's the high transition is for distance and your lower is for close up that's probably a little more to get used to because you've got a bigger bigger transition yeah because my distance vision is

great like I have I have no no almost no prescription at all for distance um and so it's just like it's just the close up you know it's I've got the you know the the over 40 my arms aren't long enough disease and so you know that we all we all get there yeah but anyway yeah so I just wanted to ask about that like is this a shared experience or do I need to go back and be like um something is wrong but I think it's just me I think I just take some time to get used to it just need to get used to it yeah and it might be you might have to actually actually have to have chuck just hold your head steady so you get used to like moving your eyes up and down and not moving your head to look at stuff like here come put my head in a waist just come hold my head for a while chuck yeah yeah not a problem right piece cake hold my head

Chuck. Make that into a title somebody. Hold my head chuck. Oh my head. Whoa. Oh, my head chuck. Whoa. You know, that's really funny actually because, you know, like a thing that you use to hold things like either in like a wood shop or in pottery is called a Chuck. Oh, right. So like that's actually really. I love that you, the Chuck is also helping make pottery. Oh, yeah. Chuck has to use a Chuck. That's great. All the time. Yeah. Like he's like, his name gets bandied around all the time. And somebody's like, oh, just go get a Chuck. Yeah, go get a Chuck. And he's like, not me. Don't use Chuck.

Get a Chuck. Exactly. I know I'm out of time. But Brian mentioned this earlier. I think it's a pre show. But yeah, I think it is time. Let's go. Let's announce this thing for sure.

It's time, my friends. All right. So Brian and myself and TV's Travis and Phil Keating have taken on. Sorry. Ignore that. I was like, oh, suddenly I'm hearing myself. Well, I killed your video, but I want to bring it back for the announcement. announcement and so I had no it's fine so you're good yeah yeah it's all good uh so yeah we have

taken on the uh challenge of watching lost all the way through again and we're doing a podcast where we go episode by episode and discuss it and the the fun part of this is that brian and i have both seen lost a couple of at in my case twice in brian's case more than twice yeah this is my six watching. Yeah. Right. Yeah. And Travis and Phil have never seen it. So. Except, Travis somehow watched the, the final episode. Right. Because his dad was saying, well, we're going to watch Lost. Which episode? Oh, the final one. Okay. But he doesn't, he doesn't remember. He was like, I have no idea what he doesn't remember it. And he doesn't. I mean, he wouldn't, right? Because there was no context at all. And for those of you who've seen Lost, you know, like, there's no way that would make any sense to

anyone. So yeah, he's going to be completely fine. So the name of the podcast is Lost Luggage. And we are going to be launching that probably later this week of, you know, watch the, watch the space. We'll throw out links and whatnot. But episode zero will be, we'll be out so that we can get the iTunes approval. But the website is lost luggage show.com. There's only artwork there for right now. There's no links or anything, obviously. But I'm pleased with the artwork. So I love to show it off. It is.

It's good. It's a good time. And yeah, it's completely my fault that it's taken us this long. No, I won't bore you with the technical details of it. But yeah, it's been a little bit of a journey to get this off the ground,

so to speak. So yeah. So we're very excited about that. So everybody go listen to Lost Luggage when it comes out. Nice. Get in there. Get that done. Amy, always good talking to you.

I hope you have a fantastic rest of your time until we talk to you again. Cool. There was something else that's going to say. I forgot what it is. Oh, we're looking to, Amy coming to a nerdtacular, of course. Very excited.

Of course. Yes. Super excited about that. Yes. Helping us out with some stuff. Chuck and I will both be there. We'll be helping and doing things and whatnot. Like Carter and I've been talking about the merch booths and stuff like that. So it's all going to be super fun.

Our broadcast morning. Exactly. I go right from this into another broadcast. Yep. Without. And maybe just get a little jello before you go in. Just a little something to keep you going, a little energy, you know, just a little bit. I'm a little bit.

Oh, don't be worried. I feel bad that you have to starve all day. That's all. You know, if it's something that I have to do, I don't get, I just feel like it's, yep, have to do this. Got to do it. Don't get angry about it. Don't get happy about it.

I just do it. But if it's something where I feel like I have a choice, then it's like, oh, man, why do I have to do this? This sucks. I get that way leading up to it. And then on the day, it's like, well, I'm doing it. Yeah, exactly. The timing's stopping. Nope.

But we'll be back on Thursday. There is no show tomorrow. Brian's getting his colon done. I'm going to be, it's not really the right way to say that, is it? checked. I will be I'm taking it to do some family stuff. We've got a big funeral this weekend again. So we're trying to pack all the weekend in between now and Saturday.

So we're going to take the day or the morning. And the rest of the broadcast day should be unaffected, which would only, I guess that's just play retro tomorrow night.

So we pushed it for other similar reasons, a bunch of family around. So today, that's right. So today, the Monday on a Tuesday. Yeah. I actually wrote it in here and I still didn't

say it. Oh, you did? I did even see that. That's hilarious. I was asking you because people in the chat room were asking. No, I'm glad you brought it up. We're doing the Monday show today. Same time as usual. 1 p.m. but on a Tuesday Carter and I are doing that today. Today is a much more clear, so should be no delays that I'm aware of.

So there you go. Thank you for that. Excellent. Excellent. All right. Well, this is a quick and easy one. Racer 951. W rode in and said,

it's spring break week. Might as well play some surf music covers. Couldn't disagree. Can agree. Couldn't agree more. I think is the phrase. Yep. I like it.

The fatigue is real, folks. It's starting to settle in. The lunacy. is happening. There's been a great series of surf music albums called Beyond the Sea. It's Beyond the Sea, further beyond the sea, considerably further beyond the sea. I can't remember what the other ones have been, but it's like every, every few years you get these really great surf bands working on these compilations of covers of songs that that sound amazing surf rock. And if you don't believe me, listen to this. This is a band called the Surf Rockets.

And from the 2009 further beyond the C, so volume two, taking on the Backstreet Boys. I want it that way. Thanks for listening. The Frogpants Network lives at frogpans.com. Come in, Brian.
