This is the morning stream. Ah, that's the level of stupid we're looking for. Hello, and welcome to TMS, everybody. It is the morning stream for Tuesday, March 24th, 2026. I am Scott Johnson. He is Brian Ibbett. Hello. Greetings.

It's good to be here. It is good to be here, isn't it? Today. Feels all right being here, you know? It does, yeah. I just had blood sucked for me by a fairly decent. quantity. I thought I was just regular labs today. I'd do it every six months. Yeah. And this nurse lady, sorry, what do they call him?

Up, no. What's, a phlebotomist? Lobotomist lady who was very chatty today. I talked about this pre-show a little bit, but she's very chatty and part of the chatty was to distract me, I think, from how much she was taking because usually it's like two vials and we're off to the races. But she was like, one, two. And by the time she was on starting on the third, she's like, Oh, and so how many days do you record a podcast? It was like six of these things. Oh, my gosh.

Wow. Six files. Yeah, my doctor must have ordered like the full, whatever that is, whatever the whole la phase is. Yeah, full labs, like, exactly. We're going to check him for dip theory. We're going to check him for mumps. We're going to check him for stiff person's disease.

We're going to check him for all of it. Every damn one of them. I mean, basically. Is that what Celine Dion has? I just did a story about her on, DMHD. Stiff. Yeah, it's got a, it has a longer or a more medical name, but it's, uh, it's basically that. Yeah.

And it seems miserable. Sounds awful. It does. It does it need a better name. No, I agree. It's hard, it's hard to believe, though, um, when you see her, well, I don't know how you treat it, but when you see her, it just, she just seems great. Like everything's fine.

Mm-hmm. But then I guess we don't see her that much anymore. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. See her a little, little less than we used to see her. Today, by the way, was the, is the one year anniversary of the first episode of

Daily Music Headlines. We've been doing it for a year as of today. What? How is that possible? I know. Tell me about it. Hold on daily. A lot of freaking Morgan Wallen.

I'm the problem being on the Billboard charts. I think it was on the Billboard charts when we started and it's still on the billboard. It's still number two. Is he your inaugural big hit probably? Yeah. He's your guy. He's your big one for your first year. Like even Taylor Swift came and went.

Golden K-pop Hunters was up there for, you know, probably good 80% of the time. No. But yeah, no. Frickin Morgan Wall and I'm the problem. Or ordinary by Alex Warren, I feel like those have been there almost since the beginning. Man. Yeah. We live in a mixed genre world now, don't we?

It does. You know, it makes me want to use, I'm going to be working this as my social media reply artwork. social media reply photo, but I'm putting in our TMS chat. I probably need to replace the kid's face so he doesn't get doxed. Oh, this is great. Yeah, it's just going to be my, like. Is that really what it said or is somebody? No, that's really what it says.

I took that picture on Saturday night. When the other team scores, the announcer has to go through and say, all right, goal at 1529, scored by so-and-so with an assist from such-and-such-and-such and blah, blah, and now he's one of about 20 people that hold up a sign on that side of the audience that say no one cares.

Well, I like it. I think this is a meme. This has meme potential. It does. It totally does. Also, I can't help but do a couple of things here. Of course, a little zoomy finger time. I look, there's nobody really great. No, this guy here looks like he's unsure where

at what he's doing. Yeah, yeah. This guy here looks like he's just on the jumbo tron. He's regretting the hot dog. He just snarved. It actually looks like it might still be in his mouth. I'm getting Dale Gribble energy from the guy in the center here. Wow. Yeah, or his ruby quartz glasses are about to malfunction. Yeah, something pretty weird there. Oh, I love pension zoom. So much fun. Yeah. Well, that's cool. I hope that kid becomes famous from your photo. Yeah. I hope so too, although I do want that I might. Maybe I'll just like try it in Photoshop, select his face and say, replace his face with an AI face or something like that. Yeah, you just scramble his features. That way I'm not like given. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. See, there's some good uses for AI out there. There is. I'm sure nobody can take that particular technology and use it for ill. For bad? No, gosh, no, Scott. Who would do something like that? I don't know that photo to show you today. I know we have something on that. I love photos. Yesterday was Photo Day. Today's Photo Day. Today's Photo Day point two. I love it. Well, I'm going to give you this one. I, it hasn't transferred over to my photos thing yet, but I will just send it to you like a, um, a text message.

Excellent. I like those. Let's take a look here. Those are, those are good too. You know, those make you feel popular. Take it over. I can get it. Oh, look at these.

It's like a congregation. The first batch of, uh, that's 100. Actually, that's 98, because there were two that, uh, slipped off the plate. Look at all these frogs. 98 frogs. Are they all on lily pads? Is that what I'm saying? And the bitch ain't one.

What? Are those all lily pads? No, those are, that's called a brim. That's to keep them from falling off the plate. So that's just an adhesion method. You can do a 3D printing if you've got a lot of little pieces. Those just come off or peel off or whatever? They peel off.

Yeah, you just pull them off. Usually, sometimes you have to use tweezers or something to pull them off. Gosh, I wonder where we might see. Oh, look at this. This has a real, the claw energy. That's exactly. Exactly when I thought this morning when I took the picture. Because I was initially zoomed in and I'm like, oh, the clock.

That's great. Those look really great. Oh, I'm so excited about those. All right. Frogs, everybody. Frogs. Catch them. Coming to a charm bracelet near you.

That's right. I was going to tell you, oh, yesterday. So we had Ramona for a chunk of the day. Mostly Kim had her. I was busy. But I did get some time with her. We decided to go to the park for about. about an hour. Beautiful outside. So nice to yesterday. It's just a nice cool breeze. Sun's out.

It's spring is here, baby. So we go out to the park, and I had one of the strangest public experiences of my entire life. I wish my camera was rolling when this guy did this. I so wish he did it. I was so mad at myself for not just being on record. I should be just in TV from now on and just just have just something that's constantly going. Like, yeah. Something just to capture life, right? GoPro strapped to your head or something. Yeah, something's, I'm sure nobody would mind at a park full of kids. No, not at all. I would complain about that.

But we're there at the thing, and we're running Ramona up and down this big slide, and she's a daredevil and not afraid of anything, so she's just running down everything and climbing the highest stuff and just having a ball. And there are probably, I don't know, probably 15 to 20 kids. It's a decent size kind of park with climbing stuff, and they're all scattered around, but about 20 kids, I'd say, maybe a little less. and then their parents scattered about watching or helping or whatever. Like normal.

It's all normal. Yeah. And I see this one guy sitting on a bench. Don't even think about him. He's sitting there with his phone. And he's got it like this. He's one of these users. He's got his middle finger out and he's doing this.

Okay. And this isn't the best part yet. But it was a nice bonus. It was like, oh, one of these guys. So he's middle finger and his phone. Bird, bird finger. Yeah. And it's very like straight ahead.

and like this. Very focused. Yeah. Kind of a pompadour, which I thought was odd. That's not really important to the story, but he had weird hair. That's an interesting choice.

Yeah. And he's not paying attention to whatever kid is his. I assume either he's there alone in being delinquent or his wife or somebody is watching kids. I don't know. But all of a sudden, out of nowhere, and I'm near him when this happens, he yells,

effing Bitcoin. And then he turns, his phone off, throws it in his pocket and sits back in the chair and just looks mad. So all I can think of is he's checking some market thing and his Bitcoin took a dive. That's really funny. And he was so, and he yells

it was the real F word. He goes, yeah. Fing Bitcoin. All these kids. Yeah, all these kids. And so I see all these moms go yeah. And the place started like clearing out, you know. Really? Yeah. They started leaving.

It's like he wants people to know he has Bitcoin is what it is. That was my impression too, dude. Yeah, he's not like, you know, oh yeah, it did take a little dive. The $50 of Bitcoin that I bought years ago on PayPal is down to $35.59, $16 down. Yeah. How is he going to recover really? Oh, I know exactly. Well, who knows, maybe he bought a lot of it.

Yeah. And there was a really cheesy 90s. maybe early 2000s, Beamer. It was in good condition. Yeah. But I 100% assigned that to him. When I saw it, I went, that's his car. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, absolutely. And I saw in one of the, the garbage can was full. And at the top was this, it's not monster. There's another energy brand that's kind of kitsy. Red Bull. It's not Red Bull. Oh, might be that.

I'm big on the Celsius now. Yeah, people like that. Zero sugar. And you can get a decent. like a 24-pack at Costco for $8 bucks or something, or $9. Jeez. And the flavors are legit good.

They're all right. That a Costco brand thing or is somebody else? No, somebody else. But what's funny is there's that show Platonic on Apple Plus, Apple TV Plus with Roseburn and Seth Rogan. And, you know, I'm sitting there drinking a Celsius while we're watching it. And all of a sudden he's like, Hey, do you grab any Celsius?

We've been wanting some Celsius. Anybody, give me a cellie. I want a celli. Is there a celli? And then he like, you know, that is like he grabs. He's like, it's fully functional. Look at it. Sell us.

It's fully functional. And he, you know, is reading the label and. I said that's product placement. They probably get paid for that, right? It must be, although it feels like he was making fun of it as much as he was promoting. So I don't know. I wonder how that works. Like if, you know, you got a product placement.

you have obviously you have to submit to them probably the way that it's going to be used in the show. Oh, right, right. And I'd love to know the stories of like, you know, getting denied, like basically McDonald's or Kmart saying, no, we'd like to not be mentioned in Rain Man. Thank you very much. Yeah. Yo, I don't know how that world works. I think it would be fascinating, though, because sometimes you have, like I was reading the other day, you know, this big fallout from the Bachelorette thing and what's her name from the Mormon wives thing.

And she's a local, people hate her here. Really? I could kind of, I mean, all I've seen is just the, the two or three seconds of entertainment tonight, which comes on after a very, a very good local news program called Next here in Denver. If you don't flip the channel quick enough or flip it to something streaming quick enough, then you get entertainment tonight. And it's been the lead story every night. So it's like I get three, four seconds at a time information. And she just looks like kind of a little bit of a garbage person. Yeah.

So through a stool or husband hit her, almost hit her kid or did hit her kid with the stool. Like she actually like pled guilty to assault. There's a federal, like she sucks. Anyway. So plus there's something about her eyes, dude. It looks like she's going to eat us. There's something going on there. Whatever.

She's this far from being Jane Battler in the V. limited series about to swallow a peri or unlock that jaw and have it oh that's that freak me out as a kiddie pig. Guinea pig is the word I was looking for it. Yeah, poor thing. I think it was

probably a special effect if I had to guess. I think it was a real guinea pig but a fake jaw. Yeah. And but as a kid it was the worst thing I'd ever seen it was the worst thing. Oh yeah. Absolutely. It was horrible. It shook me for days. But anyway, years really. So the point, what was my point? My point was

The Bachelor of The Thing you were reading. I want to know. So, okay, on The Bachelor thing, there was a whole, the fallout from this thing not happening because they have all these episodes, film. Some are edited. Some aren't. They've canned the whole thing. And it was like $2 million per episode spend. ABC is going to lose some major money from this.

Oh, it's huge. And they're all mad because they don't understand how they didn't background. This was like public stuff about her. And let me make sure. Because it was a Bachelorette season. So she was going to be the Bachelorette or was a Bachelorette. or was a bachelor season and she was going to be one of the women

It was she was the bachelorette I think so she was surrounded They can't They can't do some editing To like remove her as much as possible She is the main She could do your idea Earlier from Photoshop

Just change her mix her face up a little bit Make her like exactly like Hello I am a lady who is in the show Right make her the You know the the attorney From making a murder murder and it's just

alright, I'm okay, I'm going to give you a rose. I wish I had that more handy. I should pull that out more. It's one of my favorite things you ever made. You guys, half you don't even know what we're talking about. It's so good. It was it was the time. I think of its time though, isn't it?

It's like a little slice of time. What was that face swap? I think it was the like an early form of bad AI or whatever. Very bad AI, yeah. But anyway, so the word was that not only was the 2 million was the problem per episode and a bunch of other stuff, but they got into some of the product placement.

And they had a different word for it. It was called exchanges or something where if you say it was Pepsi on the table, it had a different kind of name. And the way that worked was some kind of mutual agreed something where Pepsi gets a bunch out of it, but so do them. That's why I'm saying I'd love it if anyone out there actually understand. understood this part of that business. I'd be really curious about it.

I could probably go deep dive it and find it, but that's fascinating to me how these brands figure their shit out. Totally. Anyway, I don't know how we got all the way from here. Yeah, well, exactly. It was a monster energy, it was the energy drink in the trash can.

And I was sure it was his. I was just sure of it. Yeah. Any brand didn't matter. I was just like, he's drinking energy drinks. He's driving that Beamer. He had a, oh, yeah. And he had a bejewled.

I don't know what you call it, not but jeweled or whatever, like a jeweling. Diamond-incrusted case, yep. Cell phone case. Yeah. Which I'm sure it was 100% fake, but it all was like bumpy and glistiny in the sun. He had a glissy out there. A glissy. Anyway, I was very annoyed with that guy, so I don't know where he is today, but good luck to him.

Yeah, no kidding. Guys, we have some news to cover, and we're going to do it now. So here it goes. It's time for the news brought to you by. NerdTecular 2026. June is coming. And so are we. Are you?

To the point of, look, Brian, I've said this before. I don't need. This event has never needed to make money. And it's not a really never has. It should be a money maker. Right. Yeah.

It really never has. As long as you come out even, you feel like you're getting, you feel like you're coming out ahead because of all the, the battery recharging that comes from this. 100%. This is for the community and it is strictly that if I, here's the thing. Let's say it made a bunch of money. My first thing to do would be to pay people more for things they did, whatever that may be. So, given a few factors this year around cost and some other things, it's not looking likely that, we're, going to make money. I'm not even sure we're going to break even. But it doesn't matter. We're doing this. Good. Good. Because we're doing this. All right? That's there, there you go.

The wheels are moving. The wheels are not, they cannot be stopped. There's no stopping it. I can tell you this. People are going to be really bummed if they're not there and they miss, um, frog pants all stars. Because that is always that that, that, that, there's so much that always comes from that like, you know, Veronica yelling at people or, Craig or, you know, things like that. Your 4-10 to Yuma pull. Like, it's all things like that that people are talking about for the next, for the next year. So, yeah, it's amazing.

Not to be able to see it in person is a bummer. So I encourage you all to get over there today. Frogpants.com. You can't miss it. Big old fat nerdtacular 2026 right there. Reach you on the front page. And if you're in another country and it freaks you out, totally get that. If you just bought a house in Minnesota and you can't make it, we understand.

And if, you know, your job will let you out, we understand. But damn it. Yeah. Tell her your boss, he sucks. Sell your house immediately. Temporarily quit. I mean, you know, right? You could.

Yeah. Yeah. We're all going to break even somehow. Yeah. Anyway, very exciting stuff. Go check it out. All right. Excuse me.

Let's get to the news. Yeah. Let's start with this one. A man has been accused of using taco seasoning. packets to steal $40,000 from a target. I can't wait to find out how you do this. Well, you will not be surprised, and I know this is a stereotype now, but a Florida man is facing. Oh, Florida man.

Okay, good. So far it checks out. Yeah, it's called retail theft charges. After local authorities alleged he stole thousands of dollars worth of trading cards from multiple target stores using 99 cent taco seasoning packets. So like the kind you get from your, uh, yeah. you're uh well i don't know why they're 99 cents though that's the weird part right you're you're not thinking like don't think taco sauce packets from taco bell think like the the little packets of the powder that you mix with ground beef to make taco meat oh that stuff okay yeah yeah yeah that's about

a buck a shot is that what that is i'm still waiting to figure out how he used these yeah we this doesn't help us with the answer uh let's see he says or this this says according to the statement by the florida attorney general james uthe meyer's office Uthmeier, Utmire, Uthmire? Uthmire, we're not sure. Utmire. Ootemeyer. Sure.

Yeah. Let's see, on February 26th, Keith Wailess, Wales, well, Wallace. That one I feel pretty confident is Wallace. Wallace. It's a weird way to spell Wallace, though, isn't it? A little bit? Like, not the normal one. No. Isn't Wallace normally the view? No, like, you know, the lady that we really like who is in Peky Blinders. Yeah.

Isn't she, she's Catherine Wallace. Spills it just. like that. LLIS? Okay. Yeah. I don't know why it seems odd to me, but you're right. It probably shouldn't. Now that I look at it, how else would I spell that? What is her damn name? Katrina. I haven't know I know. Yeah, that's it. Katrina Wallace.

This dude is 39. Rested after allegedly engaged in an organized retail fraud scheme and multiple target locations in Miami all the way to Orlando. It's been charged with counts of felony, organized retail theft, three counts of felony dealing stolen property, and one count of felony money.

Monday laundering? Money laundering. Annabelle, by the way. Annabelle. Oh, Annabel Wallace. Annabel Wallace. Yeah, exactly. Excuse me.

It says here, okay, he's accused of committing these 75 thefts. All right, here's how it goes. Okay. Investigators believe that with each theft, Wallace would grab large boxes of trading cards and an equal number of 99 cent taco seasoning packets. Oh, it's starting to come together because those things are about the shape of a card. Oh, about the size of a pack. Yeah, sure.

I thought it was like you'd get to the checkout and go, and then run, like blow it in their face. But then once at the checkout line, Wallace alleged to have only paid for the seasoning packets. Authority said that Wallace would then resell the stolen trading cards on eBay generating about 40 grand in revenue. They say they lost over $10,000. Well, wait.

Oh, so he really just an equal number of 9-9 cent taco seasoning packets. Then once at the self-checkout line, Wallace alleged to only have paid for the seasoning packets. So in other words, he's going to self-checkout. He's scanning the taco seasoning packets. But what is he doing with the boxes? I assume he's sneaking.

He must be hiding those boxes somehow. Oh, I wonder if he's... They don't get into it. That's weird. Here's my guess. Ready? He's putting the taco seasoning packets underneath the boxes where the UPC code is. And then scanning, like going across.

So it goes, boop. And then he has the box. and then he, but, but it tells you, it still feels like they have to, isn't there a lady there to go, let me see your shit before you leave? Yeah, but they don't care about that. They don't know how much those boxes are probably.

Yeah. But I thought the weight, like it looked for specific weights on the scale that you put all your items on. So. That's what I thought. Yeah. So, I mean, the cards, you know,

he scans it and. Yeah. I don't know, dude. I don't. And they don't say. This article does not get into those details. Yeah, probably because, uh,

you know, they, they, um, don't want other people to do it. So let's see. Rhino Kenny says, yeah, too he says, not everywhere has a scale. So maybe that's it. Oh,

for light items, it's never right. So it lets it go. But man, a box, I mean, he's grabbing, oh,

oh, okay, okay, yeah, never mind. I was thinking that he was holding the box. So they're out. They're individual packs. They're individual packs.

And he's scanning the packs with the taco seasoning underneath it. So really he's, he's getting a six or seven dollar pack of cards for 99 cents That makes sense Okay It's a pretty good gig It's not bad it's a pretty good gig

He's pretty dumb if he can't figure out how to A slight of hand and keep the same taco seasoning pack And just run it each time Yeah Yeah H in the chat Stealing Yeah

Stealing It's definitely stealing It's definitely stealing And he'd know he's a cop H is a cop Oh H is a cop cool he's keeping good that saves me

because I was going to have to ask him and if you ask him he has to tell he's a cop no that's right that's what I'm from we're in that from DJ Qualls yeah DJ Qualls

if you can't trust DJ Qualls who are you going to believe that's what I say good old DJ Qualls I also for today this is less news than it is well it came up as a news article

but basically it presented the 100 unhealthiest foods on the planet and they start. Yeah, go ahead. And I'm already raising scrutiny. Oh, good. I'm glad because I actually agree with you. There's some of these around just like, come on, really? I mean, also it depends. Let's assume this is all crap you buy at a store, not homemade, you know, like you could argue homemade ice cream's going to be better for you because of how you made it. Oh, for sure. And don't get me wrong. Like all the things or at least the top 50 things on this list are

definitely bad for you. But when you get down to, and this says worse to best, and like bottled water, they're saying is worse for you than what was like, it was a maraschino cherries. Yeah. It's like sugar syrup, maraschino cherries are better for you than bottled water. Yeah. Or deli, hot dogs are better for you than deli meat by one position. Right. Or there's a whole set of thing labeled added sugar. Yeah. Yeah. That one's weird, right? I mean, this is tech fixated.com and, you know, they're reporting of like, the stories next right after this one are having sex today makes life feel more meaningful tomorrow. Study finds. Yeah. Yeah, that hot new study that just hit the press.

Yeah, I saw this immediately first thing. It was like, all right, source, where's their source? And even the thing that they link in the article is not a source. Well, here's what they claim. But let's read what they claim. Let's go from worst. The reason I'm saying this is I think we can all feel better about ourselves than we would normally reading this list. I agree. This is designed to kick up a little bit of dirt. It's a little buzz feedy. Number one, potato chips, worst thing they say that you can eat.

Now we assume they mean just like a bag of lays or whatever. See, I think spoonfuls of lard might be worse. Well, aren't you? A can of rubber cement. Yeah, no, there's a good point. That's a good point. But they have to be things that are qualified as food items, right? Fair enough. Food items. Okay.

So potato chips on the list of food items, they say is the worst. We're the most, unhealthiest food on the planet, according to tech. According to quote unquote science is what they say. Yes, right. Ice cream number two. Processed red meat number three. Instant ramen. That probably holds.

That's pretty bad. It probably holds, but it's bad if used the entire packet of. of salt flavoring. So, yeah. Yeah, you want to learn how to eat dry ramen. Talk to this guy right. I was going to say, watch, watch, watch the new, watch Project Hell Mary because you get a bunch of that.

Oh, yeah, right. It's also, you know, it's also a good shaping tool. That's a, you know, it's a good modeling tool. Yeah, it's also, actually, I, my mom used to do this. She'd make this Asian salad thing that probably was raw, barely Asian. Yeah. But she would crack that up and put it a little crispy. Crunchies on there.

Yeah, for sure. It was all right. Did the job. Store bought cake. Agreed. Those are gross. Depends on the store. But like grocery storebock cakes, the ones that are just like styrofoam tasting a hole cakes.

Oh, man. We're lucky then because we picked up for Aunt Barb who had a birthday recently, we picked up a storebought like a king soup. No, it was a Target bakery cake. this thing was as good as anything I've ever made. Like fan-freaking-tastic. It was moist. It was, the frosting wasn't overly sugar. It was more of like a sour cream frosting.

I do like that better, yeah. Yeah. They've up their game since we were kids. If you went to... They've up their game. But if you go to like a Walmart sheetcake, I feel like, is what I visualize when I see it on this list is okay. Yeah.

Ugh. Yeah. I like this whole run. of fast food stuff here. In this order. Yeah, they're all for some reason. They're right in that order. How weird that they maybe didn't do all their homework.

Exactly. Yeah. Fast food chicken sandwiches, fast food smoothies, fast food desserts, fast food breakfast, fast food burgers. And lastly, fast food fries. I'm going to guarantee you the chicken sandwich is better for you than the fries. Yeah. That is reversed.

I think so. I mean, there is a lot of breading. Maybe that's their point is all the breading that's on a chicken sandwich. But if you get a, again, the grilled chicken. and like Wendy's makes a decent grilled chicken sandwich that is that has no breading and is actually pretty good calorie-wise. You were right at the fact that they put added sugar as one of the items. Just added sugar is one of the items, yes.

Why did they do that? Yeah. They may not. Diet sodas are worse than fried foods. Disagree. Hard disagree. It's just called fried foods. Yeah.

Yeah. This is this thing is eat. Cake frosting separate from storebought cakes. Yeah. And why is added sugar worse than cake frosting? I like this one. Restaurant cheesecake and restaurant tiramisu. Wow.

But they don't get into which restaurant at all here. All right. What about a restaurant creme brulee? Where does that fit on the list? Yep. My good news. Margarine is worse than taco bowls. There we go.

Yes. Frozen pizza. worse than delivered pizza, I think? Hold on. Oh, really? Well, okay. How can that be, though? Delivered pizza is better than frozen pizza?

It's got to be. I mean, again, there's all these variants of, there's no simple, there's no such thing as No. Onion rings, done. And every onion ring is the same. They don't make, that's not how this works. And sprinkles is on its own.

And bullion. cubes. Bolein cubes, yeah. Soy oil is bad for you? I say we don't get our food advice from techs fixated.com. Let them focus on tech. Let's see what their top story is on tech right now.

There's a lot to fixate on. This ancient breathing trick lowers blood pressure in just 90 seconds. Nope, that's not tech. No. Heptight improves cognition and schizophrenia. Maybe. Guessing they didn't do their homework now. No.

it is like it is so many what are those things called the um the little road like the little square box that's got some sort of like alarmist phrase oh listical it's like a there's a term for that yeah like you see them at the bottom of some sites it's like littered with a thousand of those it's called i forgot there's a there's term for it though but it's down in the chum ad area clickbait is like the general term for it all but yeah there's Like a- People call them chum, those ads,

some people. Chum. Is it chum? That's what I'm thinking of. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. These are,

this is chum level. Yes. Stuff. I will, I do, I do want to point this out before we leave this list forever. Yes.

At the bottom of the list, meaning the very best thing of the hundred they listed. Of the hundred. Is sugar-free jam. Right above that, though, is this very specific term,

certain protein bars. Certain protein bars. That's like a like a witch. That's a very, That's a sub-tweet right there. It's like they don't like somebody. Like, hey, hey, earth bar.

That's right. Hey, nature valley, screw you. Certain protein bars. Certain protein bars that we won't mention here. It's heinous. All right. Well, you know, they're not wrong about these foods. A lot of them being bad for you, especially if you, you know, if you eat them en masse.

Yeah. But what we're saying here on this program, on this very important morning. program is to probably ignore lists like this. That's what we're telling you to do. I would say. However. Make your decisions based on other things.

I'm glad you put it here because it was very entertaining. It was fun to go through. It was fun to go through. That's the kind of newsmen we are. That's right. All right, you guys, it is time for us to play a game. Who will we play it with? How will that game go?

Well, I can tell you both of those answers. We have to push this button to find out. This is Travis, and you'll do well to listen carefully. to what he has to say. Travis joins us on the line now. Travis Crawford. TV's Travis. You may know him by.

Hey, Travis, what's up? Hi there. You know, lists like that bother me a lot because, sure, they can be entertaining. But as Monica says in the chat, they get the reasons why wrong so much. And it's just, it's dumb and it's harmful to a lot of things. Yeah, I agree. It's not good for, I realize it's just to fill pages and. get eyeballs and then run ads and there's a system to this madness that we have now in our modern

media but you know if they had like a um for each item said calories per serving sodium per serving grams of sugar per serving like you know for each of these things you could say like oh i see why they put this one so high i didn't realize there was so much sugar in a bad example but sprinkled yeah but my my thing is you you kind of said it with like all of those foods are fine if you eat them in moderation. The foods that you should not eat, spoiled food, food you're allergic to. Outside of that, you're fine. Those should be number one and number two, respectively.

Yes, right. Outside of that, just eat it in moderation. You want a donut, have a donut. Have a donut. Don't have a donut-based diet. No. I had a donut yesterday. There was a, I dropped somebody off by voodoo donuts.

But I know. And it's Portland, like it is this thing Portland is known for. We've got them in Colorado now, Denver now. And last year, BMS 150, we get a little packet of things with our number, jersey number and stuff like that. And one of the things was free donut at Voodoo Donuts in Boulder. And I've just basically sitting there waiting. It's been in my car in a little plastic container waiting for an opportunity that I'm up in Boulder

by the Voodoo Donuts to walk through. You'll give me one. They have Portland cream, which is their version of a Boston cream. Oh, they call Portland. Creme. Look at that. Portland cream. Brought it home.

Team and I shared it for dessert last night after. Nice. T minus no seconds at all before we get Portland email saying, Voodoo's overrated. You guys have no idea. The good stuff's here. They always do this when we bring up that. Listen,

we have a donut problem in the rest of the country, but they're not as good as what you people have. So let us have your one brand that made it out. Sure. And that is better for us, it's an Overton window. It's like this amazing donut. To you,

it's like, ah, there's so many better wounds in Portland. Okay, but this is what we have. This is what we have. This is all we have. And believe me, you put a Lamar's right next to a voodoo donuts. I'm going to go in the Lamar's 10 times out of 10. However, I love a, you know, I love a handmade donut. None of these things can, you know, even be in the same sentence as stuff like Winchell's and Duncan because those things travel across the country and crates before they make it to your local,

shelf to be sold. So give me a good homemade Lamar's or a voodoo and I'm totally happy. Both of those have bakeries in the store. I might buy, I might I might already have your title today. Travis, Sunbun says, for your title for today's read would be

if you want a Travis, eat a Travis. That's nice. I like that one a lot. Sure. Yeah, okay. That one's getting my vote. I don't know how I feel about that, but but in moderation, right? Yes.

Don't have a Travis-based diet. No. One Travis a week isn't going to hurt you. Yeah, tough and game. You're like elk meat. Yes, exactly. Well, let's get to it. Travis comes here with some trivia.

He tries to stump us, puts a Pitsmean and Brian against each other. It's going to be great. I do. I do. So like last month, I brought back, describe a movie with the wrong characters to start. Good. I like to start things. This was a fun one.

So, Scott, we're starting with you. it. I'm going to give you a short description of this movie using wrong character names. Okay. You got to tell me what movie this is. All right. All right. In a remote outpost in the 19th century, Aldrich Killian and his regiment embark on a rescue mission, which takes a dark turn when they are ambushed by Rumpel Stiltskin. Oh my gosh. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I think I might have it. Oh. Can the actors be from TV shows or just movies? They can be for TV? Okay. Could be. I mean, the character names you're using is what I'm getting at.

Could be, yeah. Okay. So it's not exclusively film characters. Oh, man. Can you give me the, sorry, can I get the Killian name? That full name again? What was it? Aldrich Killian.

Oh, all I can think of is, okay, I have to guess or I don't get it. So train spotting. It's not a decent guess, but right. Right actor. Is it the right actor? You got a right actor. But you did not get the right movie. Brian, for the steal, do you know?

Is it 28 weeks later? Closer. He's in it. He's in it. He is in it, but no. Okay. That is incorrect. No.

The movie we were looking for is ravenous. Oh, we have been. We filmed sacked this movie. You did. So Aldrich Killian, played by Guy Pearce. Yeah, from Iron Man. Yep. And Rumpelstiltskin played by...

I can't think of his name. That guy. Yeah. Names have gone out of my brain. But Fulmonte, he was... And he's Rumpelstilskine in the TV thing. And he's begbie in train spotting. Robert Carlyle.

Robert Carlyle. Robert Carlyle. I love this movie personally. It's silly. It's really dumb, but I had a lot of fun with it. Quick plot synopsis because I still can't remember... I know. I believe you that we... It's set Civil War era.

Guy Pearce's character was sent out to this remote outpost in like the Sierra Nevada's. And he gets there. They go for a rescue mission. And then the guy that they rescue, it turns out, might not actually be somebody that needed to be rescued. And he might be a cannibal. That's right. Does it ring a bell for you, Brian? Barely.

Yeah. Whoa, they updated. Who updated QuickSelt? obviously it was Bombats, but my gosh. Did you see this lately? No, uh-uh. Go look. It's a totally, oh, it's just today?

Oh, really? Yeah, it's all graphical and stuff. Yeah, Bombats did a big update. He actually was mentioning it earlier in the chat. This is awesome. I missed it. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, it's really cool. That is beautiful. Nicely done. I don't remember doing Ravenus either, so I don't want Brian to feel bad.

I kind of have a vague memory. I know I've seen Ravens, but I remember doing it with you guys. How long ago was it? Did, uh, that was probably a while ago. Yeah, it's been a bit. I'll pull it up since I still have the, uh, spend some time for sure. Oh, there we go.

It's, it's weird. Oh, there we go. Now it is. It's a movie I saw in theaters, uh, when it came out and I was one of the few that did. Um,

it also had the, the score was done by Damon Albarn, which was a big deal at the time. Yeah. Uh, and, uh, it's a, it's a silly but fun movie for me.

And I try to, uh, tell people about it all the time. So, nice. Nobody gets, round one. Close this back out.

Yeah. Excellent. So nobody won nothing. Zero zero. Nobody got anything. Brian, you get round two, which is your own.

Describe this movie, wrong characters. All right. Thor is ordered to take Bella Swan into the woods to be killed, but winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish Furiosa. I know this one. Okay. Well, I mean,

I know the actors. I know it. I can't visualize a movie with those. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. And she's, it's a Bay, uh, is it Bayolphe? Um, I'm gonna say Bayolphe. Bayowulf? Yeah.

Incorrect. Okay. I'm gonna say it's the Huntsman. The Huntsman, yes, that is it. Is that it? I will give that to you. It's close enough. The actual title is Snow White and the Humps.

Huntsman? The Humsman. The Humsman. Boy, that's a different movie. That's a porn parody. That's funny. I was visualizing a fantasy thing with... Snow White and the Huntsman.

Angelina Jolie was Beowulf, right? Is that what I'm thinking of? Yeah, Angelina Jolie was in Beowulf, yes. Yeah, that's what... Oh, okay. Yeah, I remember thinking it was real average and okay, but not great that movie, the Huntsman. Yeah. Well, it did well enough to get a sequel, believe it or not.

Well, that's true, it did, but he wasn't in it, though, right? No, I think he is. Oh, I thought he bailed on the follow-up. Maybe not. Oh, I don't. All right. Because I thought it was called like the Huntsman Winter's War or something like. So I get a point for that, though.

Good steel. You do get a point for that. That's a good steal. Sweet. All right, round three is our music round. Scott, you get to start this. Okay. So I have a small bit of vocals.

I have a small bit of instrumental. Or I have something that is reversed. Which would you like? Oh, geez. The reversed is a little bit longer. Right, but also harder because it's reversed. They're in like those of the orders of difficulty, basically? Yes.

Instrumental being easier than vocal? I would say instrumental is going to be easier than the vocal. Well, I'm going to go the easy one because this is a tough category for me. So let's do the instrumental. All right. Here is your little bit of instrumental. Oh, I don't get to. Sorry, go ahead.

I don't get to, I don't get to counterbe. did. Oh yeah. Not on this one. There's no counter. Not on this one. All right. Fair enough. So here's that instrumental again. Oh, that was it. I thought you paused it after. Nope. I did too. That was the entirety of it. Can you do it one more time? One more. Oh, man. Um, um,

I'm going to say it's that. It's, um, uh, I'm going to say it's that. It's, um, uh, uh, I don't know the name, though. The song you're singing is China Grove by the Doobie Brothers. That's it, China Grove. I'm going to say that. China Grove. That's incorrect. I didn't think so.

Brian, I can give you a little more of that bit but reversed, or I can give you with audio. With lyrics. Ooh. Yeah. And you're saying the lyrics are a little bit tougher than what you just played. I think so for this particular clip. Yeah, okay.

I will, God, the reverse I struggle with sometimes. How long is the reverse, reverse clip roughly? I'm really weighing my options here. What does the chicken come with? What are the sides?

Yeah. Is it longer or shorter, Travis? Oh, it's longer, he says. It's a longer instrumental clip. Is he? Travis, are you with us still? Oh, no. I don't hear.

We lost him. Okay. He's in the room. Did we lose? He might have muted himself. He might be. Yeah, I don't know. He might be playing the clip and counting the seconds.

Yeah, I don't know. He went poof. Travis, if you can hear us, type something in the Discord or whatever. Blink your, blink your eyes. Did we lose you? Oh, I typed. Did we loser you?

Did we lose you? All right. I'll see what he does. Maybe his internet went out. He might have. crash something. Oh, no. It happens. Yeah. We're waiting. We're waiting. We hear nothing.

I was initially thinking something Rocky Horror picture show from that clip, but I'm Man, no reply here either, which means Oh, really? Sounds like his power went out. That might have totally gone out. Although, wouldn't it pull him from the clean feed? No. It will

keep him in hanging in there. If it was like a sudden drop, it would act like it needed to maintain a connection. Sure. If I, let me try texting him. I was going to say, I don't think I've got a text number for him. I think I do. Yep, here it is. I'm avoiding looking at the chat room right there because I don't want to

inadvertently see a guest. Did he already play your clip? I can't remember of the vocals. He played yours and he hadn't played. Because I was still asking him what, how long the reversed one is and if I wanted that or the vocals. Yeah. Weird, no answer on that.

text either. Oh my gosh. Somebody please do a wellness check on Travis. Somebody check on Travis. Anybody in the Michigan area hop down there and we were joking when we said you could eat a Travis.

Hopefully nobody went and ate a Travis. We got some fan living up the road. He said I could eat a Travis. That's weird. He told me. His phone should at least. Oh, it says red.

He's on it. Oh, internet just dropped. Okay. Oh, shoot. Okay. So his internet dropped. I assume he's making an attempt to reconnect. Okay.

I'm going to do a thing where I pause this for posterity. Hi. He's back. Welcome back. All right. Internet blipped. Do you have still out snow or what's your deal there? Are you?

We do, but I think there is some roadwork being done right outside my neighborhood. And I think maybe they did because I had a blip like this yesterday. Oh, sometimes, yeah. I used to have it all the time when they were building out behind. us. It was the worst. They're doing a huge road reconstruction in front of my house. It's going to make my summer ungodly bearable. Fibers officially ruined me now because if I, I can't not do this.

I have to have this. Like, I can't not have fiber ever again in my life. There will be no time in which I'm okay with that. So when the, when the zombies come, I'm just going to be so depressed. It's going to be, you know, the EMP goes off and none of this matters. But then at least you'll, you know, you won't have worse internet access than everybody else. No one, you'll have the same non-internet access as everywhere. That's true.

That's true. Except, you know, Musk will have his satellite internet. That's all that'll be left, I think. Exactly, exactly. All right. So we were in the process. I was asking you, how much longer, like, how long is the reversed clip? And I was going to be determined how, whether it shows.

The reversed clip is about three or four seconds. Okay. Hmm. All right. You know what? I'll go against my gut, which is to take the lyrics, but you said that one's tougher. So I'm going to go with a reverse clip and see if that helps me. Okay. Here's the reversed clip. Oh, well, that doesn't help me a lot. So I'm reversing that might. Can you play one more time? Sorry.

Yeah. There's something familiar there. Totally. Now I'm thinking Joan Jet, bad reputation. but I don't think that's it either. Oh, totally that vibe though, right? Yes, exactly. Ramones or something punk. Could even be more modern.

Shoot. Let's go American Idiot by Green Day. I don't think that's right. I mean, that's not a terrible guess, but no. That's all right. All right. Here's a little more. This isn't the clip you would have gotten with lyrics, but there is this.

Well, that's Joan Jett. Joan Jett, Cribson and Clover. That's hilarious that I thought bad reputation. Oh, my God. Yeah, you thought Joan Jett. You were so there. Shout out to I-Corps for nailing that one. Oh, I-Corps.

Did he? Really? Nicely done. I knew one of our Kevins would get it. Wow. Da-na-na-na-na-na-na. So you just, that clip you gave Scott was just the da-na-na-na-na-but just before it gets to the second note.

It's the done-un-up. Yep, exactly. Yeah, I wanted to try and make that a little tougher. Yeah. Cover of Tommy James. No, not Tommy James and the Shandals. That was a cover of, I interviewed the guy.

Tommy James and the Shandals. I think, yeah. Same guy who did I think we're alone now. Think we're alone. Oh, yeah. The original one. It's also got covered by Tiffany and Moni, Moni by Billy Idol. Yeah.

Yeah. I always think, it's so funny, those two songs are so owned by the people who covered them. They are. They totally are. And what's funny is one of those, so I think, Moni Mooney was number one.

The Billy Idol cover of Moni, Mooney was number one. And then I think we're alone now, took over the number one spot by Tiffany. So basically, two covers of the same artist were sequentially number one, one right after the other. Oh, wild. That's cool. Yeah. Didn't see that coming. All right.

Well, that means we're on to round four, which, Brian, you get this one. So we're back to our previous format of, I've got a director for you. waiting around. Okay. I've got some titles. Okay. So you can bid on how many titles from this director you think it'll take for you to guess. Scott is a whiz with directors. He knows directors back and forth. And I suck at this part. I don't even know why I know him.

I'm going to make him work for it. Okay. And I'm going to take, because he can still get, I mean, you're going to name a movie. If I say two and he says one, you're going to name a movie. All he says, the director. But I'm going to make it harder for him and just say. two and make him make him go for the one. All right. Scott, do you want the one?

Yeah, I'll do the one. I'll try and steal. I'll try the one. Scott, here's the one movie you get. K-19, the Widowmaker. Okay. I used to know this. Wow.

It's the Harrison Ford. He plays a Russian. It's so stupid. It's not very good because of that. I will admit that I did not know that this person directed this movie until I was researching for this today. Interesting.

Okay. And I saw that movie in the theater. And actually, it is pretty good. All right. I think the reason I'm going to make a guess based on, I think the reason I'm even thinking of this, because I did recently look up K-19 Widow Maker, and I was trying to remember why.

And I think I know why. It's because I was watching that new Netflix movie. I forgot the name of the movie, but I loved it. Brian saw it too. It's the one where the missile gets fired at the States, and they tell the story three different ways. And you never, three different. Yeah.

And that's Catherine Bigelow. I think Catherine Bigelow. Let me just make sure I'm right about. This would have been back. This was after strange days. Yeah, I'll go with Catherine. I'll go with Catherine Bigelow. Catherine Bigelow?

Yeah. That's correct. Oh, ding, bang, bang, ding. Well done. I did not realize that she had directed that. James Cameron's squeeze, man, or they used to be. together. I remember seeing that movie in the theater. And before it came out, I remember reading about the sets they built for the sub were to scale. And Liam Neeson kept cracking his skull

on parts because he's six foot four. Yeah. Oh, hilarious. I was like, yeah, no, I could never be on a submarine. I'm too tall for that. What would have been the second movie? That one would not have done it for me. So I would have needed the second one. The second one would have been near dark. Okay, yeah, that wouldn't have done it for me. Near Dark. Yeah, I would know. That's one of her first movies. Hurt Locker, I would know.

That was, yep. Was that the, um, was that a remake near dark? No, near dark is the vampire one she did with Bill Haxon. Okay, okay. I don't remember that one.

For some reason, that was not ringing a bill. That was, that was pre point break. Oh, okay. Yeah, a lot of people forget she did point break too. Point break, zero dark 30. Yeah, it would have been Hurt Locker.

Like, if you would have said Hurt Larker. Locker or Zodark 30. It'd have been like, oh, Kethro Bigelope. Those are the ones I probably would have needed. Yeah, I did not realize she did K-19. That's wild. People made fun of...

I think I may have seen that one. There were some... There were weird choices made in K-19 Widowmaker. The choices... The thing with K-19 that people made fun of was Harrison Ford's accent. Yeah.

But he... It wasn't great, but he did try to hold it all the way through. So I'll give him credit there. I mean... Efforts were made. That's right. Unlike Kevin Costner.

Yeah, I didn't really That's the thing you can say about that Robin Hood movie Yeah He didn't, he tried Yeah For a minute And then he stopped trying

That's the problem Yeah At least Norman Reader's Try, continue to do that horrible accent All the way through Boondock Saints Yeah His horrible Irish accent

His accent was rougher Than Sean Patrick Flannery is for sure Oh, John Patrick Flannery nailed it, I thought Although it was a little lepricony But still Yeah, it was all right

Yeah That movie. It was the brief he was given. Divisive film. Do this like the kids are trying to steal your lucky terms. I mean, the best character in that movie is Rocco by far because he's just an idiot. Oh, Rocco, yeah. We said on the show, it was like.

Rocco is Hans Bubby, basically. Yeah. He's jealous. Yeah. He's the kind of guy. Like your movie needs him, but you never want to see him again. Right. Yeah.

And it's basically all he's done. Yeah. He sets things back. Because I think he was friends with the director. Yeah, they're buddies or something. Yeah. He never, he never did. else. And he apparently does appear in the sequel as like flashbacks as a force ghost.

Yeah. Oh, really? No, I mean, I have not seen the sequel. Is it just flashbacks? Not really as a forest ghost. Just flashbacks. I was hoping for something dumb because I... You're hoping for a force ghost. Yeah. I've never seen that follow-up. I just know everyone hates it universally. So yeah. Yeah. Even fans, even those people that are so hardcore about the original, I just cannot stay in the second movie. All right. Okay. That puts us at 2 to 0 going in round five. And Scott, you get to do round five. This is our real or fake round.

Okay. I'm going to give you titles of movies. You have to tell me if you think they are actually movies Milo Jovovich starred in. I love this. Or are something that I made up. Okay. That's great. Do I do it in succession?

Like you'll say a name, I say fake, real. Yeah. Yes. Okay. Yep. All right. So here we go. Hero quest.

Fake. Shit. That is a real movie. Wow. I remember that as an Atari game. Resident Evil Annihilation. Real. Really?

There is not a Resident Evil annihilation. There's a lot of Resident Evil's. None of them are annihilated. That feels like 100% I know. The subtitle of a Resident Evil. That's really weird. Okay.

Number three. Symboline. fake. That is a real movie. And apparently there was also a Shakespearean play named Symboline as well. I think it's loosely based. I don't know. I'd never heard of it before.

So I wasn't sure. Number four. World Breaker. Is that a subtitle to something? Well, he'd be giving you the full title. I'll say fake. It's fake. That was a real movie. I'm O for what? Whatever this is.

You're O for four. Okay. Number five, Heavenly Kingdom. Fake. That is correct. There is not a movie she started called Heavenly Kingdom. All right. I was doing a spin off of one she had called like Paradise Hills.

Oh, hilarious like that. All right. All right. Next one. Bleed. Bleed? Fake. Correct.

She does have a movie, though, called Breathe. Oh. Okay. Yeah. I didn't know that either. But that's some serious, like, 50-50 dice roll I just made there because I had no idea. By the way, you're only getting nine because I forgot I used Paradise Hills in my list. Oops.

It was scrolled off the spreadsheet. I didn't see it at first. So you get nine, which means you have three more. Future World. Real? Correct. She's in a movie called Future World. She is some shitty movies I've never heard of.

Another one here. Survivor. Survivor. Fake. Damn it. Oh, really? Oh, really? Oh, I didn't know that. I would have been right there with Scott on that one.

Wow. And finally, infrared. Infrared. Uh, real. I'm going to say fake because I didn't base that on ultraviolet. I did. Brian is correct.

Damn it. She is. I see what you did there. I got three out of ten, was it? Three out of nine. Three out of nine. A third. I got a third right.

I mean, look, we're coming up on opening day of Major League Baseball. That's a Hall of Fame batting. That's great. Good job. Yes. Holy shit. That was fun looking through some, like some of those. And what's funny is half of those movies I found her character is like the queen or

queen or something like that. It's hilarious. But yeah, World Breaker is a real movie. I noticed you didn't is. Symboline had a ridiculous cast, and it's like a 3.8 on IMDB. It's...

I could have sworn there was a Resident Evil property with Annihilation in it, but maybe it was a game. Was there like that multiplayer shooter game they made that was so bad? Maybe. I don't remember. That's funny. I just used more of combat annihilation.

Oh, maybe that's... So real quick, Symboline, all right? Yeah. 2014. It currently holds a 3.7 rating on IMDB. The tagline or the synopsis is a gritty story of a take-no prisoners war between dirty cops and an outlaw biker gang. A drug kingpin is driven to desperate measures. But listen to who is in this.

So Ethan Hawke. Ed Harris, John Leguizamo, Milojovovich, Dakota Johnson. Yeah. Anton Yelchen. Good cast. You know, Kevin Corrigan, who I love. He's a great character actor. Vondi Curtis Hall.

You might not know by name, but you've seen him and stuff. He was in the Netflix Daredevil series. He played The Reporter back in the original run. His name escapes me now. But he's a great character actor. Delroy Lindo, isn't it, Bill Pullman? That's not a small. That's a pretty good, that's a really good cast.

That cast is crazy and yet nobody seems to like it. And I had never heard of it before. I didn't know it is. I'd love to hear from somebody we know that's seen it to find out if they liked it or not. I would too. I might just have to watch it and find out. Yeah. Yeah.

Let us know. And let us know if it's sacable too. You know, if it's like it'll put on the list. It's a French word, right? Siboline? Let's see. Oh, yeah, it is French. I think it is French.

In English, it's Targeting. Oh, according to translate. Anyway. Is it S-Y-S? Sorry, C-Y-M? C-Y-M-B-E-E-L-I-N-E. Okay, William, you're right. Is Shakespeare King of Britain, blah, blah, blah.

It's not streaming anywhere. You can only buy the DVD or Blu-Ray. It's not even available to buy or rent digitally. And what year was it? 2014. I can't believe I've never heard of this. With that cast, that seems insane. I know.

All right. That feels like it was a, we need to put this movie out for tax purposes. Yeah. Like, we got to write some stuff off. That's a pretty hefty cast to buy for, for tax purposes. Yeah, either that or it's somebody hoping that they can make the money back to do like a passion project. But it's, but from what you're able to tell, it's like a modern, like, does it feel like a modern take on the Shakespeare thing or just shares a name with Shakespeare thing that? I got to think it's a modern take because some of the.

character names like Yakimo, Imogen, are all characters from the play. Yeah, okay. So it's some sort of a reworking. Like a Romeo plus Juliet kind of thing. Yeah, it feels like that a little bit. It says it was directed by, can this be right? No. Michael.

Oh, there was a silent version of it, and I'm looking at that. Never mind. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah, because Writers is the director and William Shakespeare. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, I don't get much older than that. There you go.

Well, there you go. So, Wayne, then where does that leave us? Where are we now? Do I, do I get a round of? You get something, don't you? Oh, no. Okay. How does he get his three points to match mine or whatever?

That's a good question. I think, you know what? It's been a month, and I think what I did before was split them up in five and five. Yeah, you think you did that last time. That's all right. That's all right. I am leaving in the morning for Adepticon. Oh, right.

Most of my bandwidth has been Adepticon related as if I prepare for it. Well, then this is what I would say for our score. Those three points I got, I think we call that exhibition. That was just like a fun thing. There's an asterisk right next to the score on that one. Those are just, that was just for funsies. It doesn't count toward the playoffs or whatever. But all points prior to that are today's.

So how did it end up if you don't count that? Where are we? Today still shook out. Yeah. Oh, that's right. You won two nothing. I'm the worst winner ever because I never feel like I'm winning. Or you remember and you just want to bring it up. Well, you never know.

That's the problem with it. Now, wait a minute. Who was the team the one of the worst? Oh, it was us. That's right. They're not wrong. Hey, we'll have fun over there. Do you going to do anything special?

You got any big plans for that con or whatever? Yeah, I'm going to be playing some Warhammer. Cool. So that'll be fun. Is there a cosplay at Adepticon? There is. I wasn't able to get anything put together for it, but I know a few people. So the friendly tournament has a theme of big trouble in Little China.

So there's going to be a lot of Jack Burton's walking around. Oh, yeah. Bring your biggest Chinese hat that looks like a big flattened out cone. Hell yeah. Love that. So that's going to be a lot of fun. I've got a couple of tournaments. to do. I'm taking a couple of

seminar classes on like painting and whatnot. And the guy that created that Vader duck that I sent you, Scott, Epic Ducks is there. And I didn't know that until last week. So I'm going to go chat with him at some point too. Exciting. That's cool. Oh, Josh from

Critical, not Critical Theory Games, critical theory games? No. Josh 3.0? Yeah, CTG. Oh, him and Raven. They're going to... They're going to... They're going to have a booth, but they're going to have a booth, yes. Right, right. Definitely stopped by the booth. It's not critical theory.

Chip theory. Chip theory. There you go. Yes. Ship theory games. That threw me. I was thinking maybe you're right. And if anybody is in the area, it's in downtown Milwaukee at the Baird Center.

Okay. There you go. For a few days. So I have to get up at 3 a.m. to drive out there. Oh, my Lord. 3 a.m. dude. Yeah. I have to go down.

I have to go around Lake Michigan to get there. Oh, wow. So it would be. You know. It's going to be fun. Yeah, you're going to have a great time. There's no ferry that just takes you across? There is, but it's considerably more expensive and it's not worth it.

Okay. For me. Yeah. He's a nice guy, though, that ferry. Oh, you mean, I'm sorry, you mean like a boat. Oh, I thought you meant like 80-style. We don't know how to talk to gay people-style ferry back in the day. Anyway, hey, Travis, stay out of trouble.

Brian, what do we do? We do, and we're going to. Barry wrote in and said, hi, Scott and Brian. It's time for another birthday song request for Bob Ian,

or Barry Ann, if you prefer. She's a fan of Billy Joel, so we're always up for a cover. I leave it up to the covermaster to pick the best one out there. See you and SLC soon. Get your nerdtacular tickets now for my lovely, smart and funny wife, Bobby Ann. Barry. Barry. Very good.

Well, happy birthday, Bobby Ann, and hug a raccoon for me. But not too tight, because they might get mean. You know how there's some songs that you hear a cover of? Like, it's a song you're not crazy about, but then you hear a cover of it. And it's like, oh, I like this. Like, you know, I may not like the original version, but this I really like. That's the case with this song right here. I've never been a fan of Billy Joel's original version of The River of Dreams.

Not my favorite either. I don't know why. But photo ops last year came out with a cover on their album, or I guess his, it's one dude, on his album opening up to strangers. I can't remember the guy's real name Terry something. But his album, opening up to strangers, came out last year. And on there, he does this fantastic cover of Billy Joel's The River of Dreams. Here it is, Photo Ops.

I go walking in my sleep from the mountains of faith to the river so deep. I must be looking for something. Something sacred I lost. But the river is wild. It's too hard to crawl I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore Try to cross to the opposite side so I can find what it is I've been in the middle of my sleep

Through the valley rivers of deep and searching for something Taken out of my soul Something else something somebody stole In the middle of doubt This is a teacher for something. Something so I want to know. I've never been a spirit of this land. In the walking in my sleep,

through the desert of truth. To the river so deep, we all start on the streets. Thanks for listening. The Frogpants Network lives at Frogpants.com. This game is terrible.
