This is the morning stream for Wednesday, April 15th.

It is tax day here in the United States. I hope you've all submitted your complete and full taxes. I've submitted my taxes and I've paid my stupid money. Me too. And I hate it. Yeah. And I hate it especially when I don't like what I'm. paying for right now.

Exactly, yes. It'd be one thing if I did, but I don't. So, but look, I'm a good citizen. I've never missed a house payment. I've tried real hard to, you know, be the honest guy. I've never cheated on my taxes. I'm not going to start today.

But damn it, taxes can eat a chode. Yeah. Anyway, hello, everybody. That's Scott and Brian, and we're here to do a show. We've got a morning show to do. It's Wednesday. And, you know, we got things to talk about. For example, I'm so excited about this.

So, so dumb, but I'm excited. Yeah. So now as nerdtacular bags and swag and all that stuff starts to come together, coalesce, if you will, things come in, kind of trickle in. And one of the first items to make it here in giant boxes that I'm going to have to store in the front room until we're ready to put them in the bags themselves. The nerdtacular 20-ounce stadium cup. Ooh.

with a big old frog pants logo on it. Very cool. Oh, I can't see it. There it is. I can see it. Yeah, it turned out really nice. Yeah, that's sharp. If anyone has a need for something like this,

just ping me on Discord or something, and I'll send you the place I got them. They were amazing to work with. That's cool. And their price was like by far the most competitive and the quality. I got, I was actually nervous because I was like, this has been too easy.

they have been too nice. This has been too fast. How is this? You know, you know. Exactly. What, what weird company have I stumbled on? Yeah.

It started to feel like I was getting, I was getting ganked or something. And then I got them and I'm like, these are freaking perfect. And they have like a 5.0 review and all that. So, nice. So these guys didn't like, you know,

get your approved artwork and send you a proof. And you said, yep, this is good. And then send you a follow up proof. No, that was them. That was them. Oh, same company? So same company. So same company.

That freaked me out. out because I signed off on this one, which is what they got and they got it right. But I signed off on this one and then they sent me a follow up, probably another employee. I don't know what happened. And it was all wrong. And I went and that's when I got nervous. I went, no, no, no. That's not the one.

I already approved this one. I was thinking it was a totally different piece of swag that that all happened with. I didn't realize that was the cups. No, it was these guys. And so I wrote back and I was very, very pleased because they, whatever potential air was there, they, they solved it. Everything was fine. Excellent. Good. Good, good, good. Just excited. They're, they're looking good. And the bags are looking, oh, I'm so excited about the bags.

Nice. I'm making them really nice this year, so people really get something cool and. Excellent. Since this could be the last one ever, you don't know. You never know. May as well go out with a big old freaking big, go big or go home, they say. Exactly. Go big, come here, then go home or come there. Come here, then go home. Then go home. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay there. There you go. Is the, yeah. Yep, but I'll sing closing time at the end. No, I won't.

I won't do that. Won't you? Oh, no. Come on. The last day is DMH karaoke. You can totally get up and sing some semi-sonic. I wouldn't mind. That song I wouldn't mind sing, and it'd be all right.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings, and... You know, that guy whose name is escaping me, but he was a semi-sonic, also a member of Trip Shakespeare. His name is Dan. Patrice. Dan, it is Dan Patrice. Did you know that our lovely Dan Patrice? He gets around that guy.

Yeah. Anyway, he wrote one of Adele's big songs. Like, he's a big-time songwriter, not just a member of the band. Dan. Oh, wow. Wow, why am I blanking on his name? Somebody help me in the chat room. But anyway.

Cool side gig for that guy. That's awesome. Totally. And he was at the Oscars two years ago because one of the songs that he co-wrote. was up for an Oscar. I don't think it won, but it was really cool seeing him in the audience. Dan Wilson, thank you, Raven.

Stan Wilson. He's from Ravens part of the world. Nice. Dan Wilson. Up there in the Minnesota. Yeah. Minnesota. Minnesota.

Well, that's fantastic. I also have another thing that I think is fantastic to show you. Tell me the other thing you think is fantastic. Now, the chat, or sorry, the Discord has seen this. I don't know how many people in here have seen it. So I'm going to share it again. I've seen. it. I hope you've seen it. So here's me and Brian the other day doing one of our

thumbnails for our final, you know, for the show. We take one of these every day. Then we post it with the YouTube video. So it's fine. You know, whatever. Here's me holding a brick of clay. There's Brian holding up a hello kitty. Yep. And big things to hello kitty pez. Yep. And I just on a on a whim, because I don't believe that AI is actually good at this. I asked a Gemini to give this photo, essentially this image back to me, but as if you and I were 18 years old, well, that's what I started with. I said, can you make us 18? And it came back and said, I can't make drawings of underage people. That's weird. And I went, well, first of all, 18 is of age. If that's the sticking point. So I don't know why you're hanging on that.

But I said, fine, let's make these guys look like they did in 1989. That's what I asked it. And then it came back to me. So, Brian, here's the result. This is nothing like us. Now, I think it got you better than me if you were a bald teenager. You weren't. Exactly. I also don't have the Emily Blunt cleft in my chin, but I do.

Why did it give you that? I don't know why. Well, because it doesn't know what my chin looks like under all this hair. But yeah, who does that look like? Because it isn't, I mean, it isn't me, first of all. No, it's definitely not you. But there's something about your smile that fits. Yeah.

That I kind of get... Yeah, the eyes, I feel like it got my eyes. Like, I do have arched eyes. Mm-hmm. But I love that it figured out, okay, this guy likes Spider-Man and X-Men. And it put a bunch of action figures behind me. Yeah. Only one of which I think is an actual, like Cyclops back there

is the only one that is an actual action figure. Like the rest of them are nondescript sort of Marvel comic characters. Yeah, guy in the back, kind of Hulk. Not sure though. Yep. This guy over here. Kind of an X-Men with a yellow cape.

Yep. I think Rambo's in there. Might be Rambo. There's like a ball. But look at all this up on the wall. They got these posters that don't exist in your first image. I know. Like, all right.

I mean, that almost looks like a real X-Men comic book cover. I was looking to figure out, did they take. take a real X-Men comic cover and... Probably. Because they train on real data. If they did, it's not one I recognize. Yeah. Like, it's not an issue that I recognize.

Somebody called Marvel. Diablo 3, of course, wasn't out in 1989. Diablo 1. Yeah, 89 Marvel. Yeah, Diablo 1 wasn't even out. So that was, we were still seven years from that. But anyway, it is... And they gave me a package, like a package that I'm lovingly touching.

Like a brick of Coke. But that is not the same guy at all, dude. No. What the F? The glasses, I guess. What is this hair? The hair is like, like, it's weird frosted tips business. Yeah, it's terrible.

It's like what, what, uh, what, uh, what a 14 year old thing's Justin Timberlake looks like. Yeah. Yeah. But also a great brillo pad style, you know, usable hair piece or something. And also, why is there a Pikachu behind me? I don't have any Pikachu. I, that's the funniest. thing. It's like, all right, well, he likes geek stuff.

I mean, it figured out your Stormtrooper. Yeah, it got Stormtrooper right. It got my, there's a Boba Fett back there. Yeah. The R2D2. Yeah. Nowhere back there are any Pokey men, pocket men. So I don't know where I got that. But fun stuff, fun stuff. It is fun stuff. Yeah, good times.

All right. Whoa, you got a Bitcoin in the mail? I got a Bitcoin. Some wooden chits that you can trade in for Bitcoin from Hello Kitty Pez. Is that for real? They're not for real. They are little wooden discs

that have rubber stamped on them. Good for one Bitcoin. I think those might be more valuable right now than the current Bitcoin's are dropping like crazy. Actually, yes, it's very funny. Hello Kitty Pez sent me

and sent me yet another Hello Kitty Pez. This is the original one. The other one was pink, so I'm giving that one to Tina after I take the candy for myself because, you know, got to refill these puppies. They don't refill themselves.

I know that that's the worst candy on the planet, but I kind of like it. Yeah. There's something really magical about having to do so much work to load the pet. The way they have the candy, like, it'd be great if they figured out a way to make the candy in a wrapper that you could like, if you unwrap it the long way, then you could hold it by the paper.

and just jam it in like a brick, like a magazine of bullets. Yeah. But no, you've basically got to open it up. Dump all the individual pezzes out. Hold this guy open like you're performing open heart surgery. Yep. And insert them one at a time. And you will always happen.

One will go in there and lay horizontal. Yeah. And you kind of have to start, you almost have to start over. It's like reloading in the Civil War. Slow. Yes. Exactly. Put a little, pack a little gunpowder in there.

Yep. Get one shot off. Hold on. I'm going to get you. You just stay where you are. That's why they made them all shoot. at once and then they would reload hopefully with enough distance and then get another shot in before they had to go fist to cuff slash bayonets whatever exactly yes what a weird way to fight it is it is funny yeah you know maybe what i'll do is i'll invent a um a 3d printed pez loader oh i like it there you go and like you basically put the wrapped pez in there you somehow unwrapped part of it and then you go plunk and it just puts it right into the i'll bet the pez community would love that.

I bet it would. There's a, you know, there's a big PEZ community out there, yes. I like, I like the PEZ people.

Pez people. Do you want to, should we save this for later where you have time after, uh, sure, so we give it proper time or, you know what?

Let's talk about it when Tom's on here because I, I hear rumor that Tom is actually a fan of K-pop music. So, I've heard that too. Let's recap when Tom is here because he already texted me this morning and say, Brian, tell me, what did you think of the twice concert?

Oh, good. Yeah. All right. We'll do that then. We'll save it for... He was in constant chat over all the weird experiences that I had with it. Is this somebody he's seen as well? Yes. Oh, that's great. And even, like, as soon as I told him, you know, mentioned something about it, he's like,

oh, yeah, well, there are a seven piece right now because this member and this other member are out right now. So instead of the usual nine, you're only going to get seven of them. Like, wow, you know a lot about this. Yeah. Yeah, he's a little too much, maybe. It's a little freaky. Maybe a little bit, yes. Gives me some kind of weird feel. All right, time for this, everybody. You know what that music means?

Time for Brian Dunaway to sashay his way in here and play a little game with us. Brian, what's going on? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian does sashing on in here? What's up? Hey, man. What's up with you, man? Your work again? Yeah, have you heard of that?

It happens, like, five days a week. It's so stupid. Yeah, nine to five, that whole thing. Yeah. I wish. Like, yeah, more like 7A M to 5 p.m. Damn. Half day Friday.

Hey, whatever. Ain't nobody bringing the- We're out of that. We're out of that rat race. Yeah, screw that rat race. Right, right, right. I don't know. There were some things comforting about that rat race, but not really.

You know what there is? I will say, you're not wrong. There's a couple things that are really nice about. It's called a break room. Yeah. It's called being around other people. Yeah. Which teaches you how to be around other people in other parts of life.

You just sit here and burp and fart and pick your nose because you work alone. Sometimes it's nice to have that practice to say, oh, I'm not supposed to do this when I'm around. Yeah, there is a social aspect to it I miss. And there's also, well, there's some people I don't, though. So sometimes that backfires the social part. But for the most part, there are things. You know, I don't want to just poo poo on that.

Also, I feel like we're very fortunate to do what we do. But there are holes in our cheese as well. There are holes in our cheese. Okay. What would you feel you're a hole? in your cheese with like more cheese? Yes, but a different kind of cheese. I think Swiss cheese holes should be filled with cheddar.

The color contrast is lovely. Yeah. Or, well, no, no, no, I like to. Actually, I like that. We need something with like a lot of contrast. And the only way you're going to do that is white Swiss, orange cheddar. Good, good cheese, though, not like, you know.

Like a blue cheese, but you don't want a soft cheese. I mean, I guess it'll be easier to cock it in there with like a cocking gun some some soft cheese i thought you said cock it in there you said i did i did say cock it okay okay okay colk nobody says colk yeah who says i i do because if you don't then people say did you say cock whatever whatever mr birthday could you tell me where you can find the calking gun yes you dang skippy it's funny you guys say that my wife is literally upstairs calking the bathroom right now she nice he's doing some paint thing in there so um anyway You guys wouldn't insert like baloney in there, kind of like a reverse a pimental loaf?

Um, okay. Hold on. Oh, that's something. Can we find an injectable filling meat? Like an injectable meat like your Brunschweiger or something. Yeah. Oh, there you go. Yeah.

Or something from a sausage or whatever. Just something that fills it, not that you have to wad up and. Yes. Yeah. Jam in there with your thumb. No, like having, you know, again, inserted the, I mean, the problem is that Swiss cheese holes are in the inside of it, Not just the outside. It's not like a tunnel that goes through the whole Swiss cheese.

That's a very good point. Yeah. I hadn't considered that. Well, let's consider this. A chance to win prizes for listeners. Dunaway's here to do it. We're here to do it. Brian,

I'm here to do it. You're here to explain it. Take it away. I'm here to do this. It's time to play the tadpooly feud. I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics. And Scott and Brian are enough to predict the answer they gave us. It is Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess.

Now, at the end of the game, we're going to add up all the points. And we're going to win, we're an award a prize. you know, we're going to win. We're all going to win. It will be winning prizes for their listener contestant and contestants will be pulled from our supporters at Patreon at patreon.com slash TMS. Scott, you are playing for Spencer S.

Well, I like Spencer S, so I'd be happy to play with it. Well, very good. Is Spencer for hire? Spencer for Sire. There you go. Brian, you're playing for Roadrash. That's a person. Not a

Not a Not a game, not the thing That you do to your body When you forget to wear pants Like when you're riding a motorcycle That's right Exactly Yeah

Let's go ahead and get to the game Put your hands upon your buzzers And give me your best answer to this We ask 355 tadpoolers To name a fictional sea captain Oh geez It took forever I did I clicked on it

It did nothing Mine took forever too I think it They equally took long Yes It was It was unfair on both sides Yeah

Yeah So in the end it was fair I'm gonna say Oh geez my brain Sorry Captain Jack Captain Jack Sparrow Show me Captain Jack Sparrow

That is so good That is so good Number two answer on the board Yeah took a while for me to click the button too So something's going on Yeah That's interesting answer. It means one answer will beat it.

Brian, if you can name that answer, you'll get controlled aboard. Well, say the question fully again so I can make sure. Name a fictional C captain. C captain. Okay, there we go. C captain. That was the thing I was getting used. As opposed to a space captain, I think. Right, right, right, right. Well, I'm, right, right, right. Well, I'm looking for some, uh, I'm Captain Ahab comes to mine first off.

Yeah. Sure. In a second one, too. Show me, Captain Ahab. Carpter. answer on the board. Which makes Amy very happy. By the way, did you know, I mistyped it here, but Moby Dick has a hyphen. It's Moby Dick.

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. It is? I know. Yeah. Like Spider-Man? Like Spider-Man? Like Spider-Man? Yes.

Moby-Dick? I don't. I didn't know that. That's crazy. I didn't know that until today, either when I was like, you know, like, you know, going through and confirming all these. Weird. Yeah.

Mooby-Dick. All right. Moby Dick. Learn a little something today. Brian, you've got control of the board. Been a while. Oddly, I was, I was, I'm going to go with Captain, I can't say, I can't not do Captain Caveman when I named Captains for some reason.

I don't know why that is. I do. You're weird. Man, we just went to the indoor percussion and they had a whole row of, of, of, of cosplay of captains. Really? And some of them were ships. Yeah.

Yeah. And some of, there was like all kinds of weird stuff, and I want to give me anything away. Was there a Captain Caveman just out of curiosity? There was no... That was funny. I was like, where's Captain Caveman? They had Captain Marvels. They're not like all ship things.

Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah, it's like different captains of different sorts. It was all about the rank. But there's one that I'm really wanting to say, oh, but I don't want to get Beam. So I'm just going to go with Captain Nemo first. Oh, that was my next one. You bow. Captain Nemo, he went...

Captain Nemo. He went with some extraordinary gentlemen. And he was also, that's right, he was also an extraordinary gentleman. Yes. Had a kick ass beard and some really cool steampunk. Show me, Captain Nemo. There you go.

Number three answer. Not a whole lot of points, but. Not good points, though. So I'm kind of, I'm kind of one to say this one because I feel like it'd be low, but it may be too low. I'm going to go with the other one I saw

that me and Audrey debated on who the crap it was. I'm going, Captain Crunch. The serial captain. Oh, I love it. That's a good one. Pronounce. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Pronounce. No, there's an O.T. It's capon. Capon. Capon. Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. Capon.

Cappin. Cappin Crunch. Cappin Crunch. Cappin Crunch. You're right. You're right. You're right. Really?

Yeah, I thought that'd be lower. That's crazy. Yeah. No, we have a bunch of, we have a bunch of comedians in the tad pool. Yeah, yeah. A bunch of wise guys. A bunch of wise guys. guys.

Trying to go through TV now. I keep trying to avoid Star Trek references, even though if like that might be up there, a bunch of smart asses. Captain, there was, okay, I'm gonna do it, Captain Morgan. I'm doing Captain Morgan. There was somebody

that was dressed up as Captain. We debated him that one too. I said, I think that's Captain Morgan. Did they purpose, like, continuously have their knee up? Like, you know, the Pope's, the Captain Morgan pose? did not. That's the only reason why I didn't give it to him. But they were out on the stage where there was no place to really, it had to like step on somebody. That would have been good. Yeah. Well, I mean, you can just hover it in the air. Yeah, yeah. That's true. That's true. Yeah. Well, like their failure at being Captain Morgan,

there's a failure of the tadpool, not putting that one in the top 10. Turn it. Morgan was somewhere there is Captain Morgan number 20 yeah figured he would make the list somewhere

yeah yeah all right people people love their rum I'm gonna go with let's go with Captain Captain Hook he's fiction sure that's a good one got a hook for me hand show me Captain Hook

keeping that alternating nice little pattern going if you guys can if you guys can successfully do a pattern on the right side. I will award somebody random in the tadpool with another prize. All right. I like it.

I like that. Um, now now the pressure's on. The pressure's on. I think I'm about to screw it up. Captain Stubing from, uh, no, that's perfect. Oh, that's going to be good points. I hope it's in there. And, Dan is making love. Go for her. Meet me in my

ready room. Why was he like that? Go tell Isaac that we're about to dock in the sunny octoberty go. All right. Show me Captain Meryl Stubing. It breaks

my heart too that Captain Stubing did not get any higher than where was he? Yeah. Tide for 28th place. One person Tadpool. No your audience.

Exactly. Bastards. All right. Still love you. Man, come on. You know, Ibit would have, like, lost his crap if you had had done that. All right. Yeah. Let's see.

I'm going with, what if I can't remember his stupid name, but I just saw him on. If you could, I know, I know exactly what you're going to say. Maybe. All right. Look, I had the, you're the captain on the Simpsons. I can never remember his stupid name. Horatio McAllister. There you go.

There goes your pattern. Damn. Yeah. Yeah. Blew it. Blew it. No one's, yeah, that's fair. Nobody's going to know that name.

No, no, no. But here's what's funny. I mean, you say no one's going to know that name. More people in the tadpool put Horatio McAllister than put the captain from the Simpsons. Enough that I had to look it up and say, is Horatio McAllister the name of the captain on the Simpsons? Yeah. They never say it. He just walks in and says, my, my hair is high.

He says hi and things like that or whatever. But, yeah, I love that guy. Well, yes, Tom de Guess. I'm pretty sure they looked it up. Yes. Yeah. All right. Keep going. That breaks the pattern, by the way. It does break the pattern, yes.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, I've seen all these people. Captain Planet was there at the thing. I don't think he had a ship, though. He was a captain of all the seas. Right, right. I want to say, I don't know this one either, but this keeps running it in my head. The Tom Hanks character where it goes, I'm the captain now, that guy.

I'm the captain now. Is that up there? I'm the captain now. Try it. Give me the I'm the captain now. Show me Captain Phillips. There you go. Captain Phillips.

That was a good one, dude. That was a good one. I'll tell you that Captain Phillips was number 21. And the pirate, who's the captain now, was tied for 28th place. Okay. I love to somebody put the pirate because he's the captain now. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, he was very briefly the captain.

and it was, I'm not even sure it was official, really. And it was kind of based on a true story too, right? Yeah, it was based on a real thing. It's not a fictional seat captain. Oh, good point. Yeah. There was your mistake. All right, well, one I know for sure is fake, although I know he's based on people,

but he's definitely not real. Captain Quint from Jaws. Oh, sure. That's such a good thing. Quinn, Quint. I saw that, Quint. Quint. I saw that shark coming, and then it ate me boat.

I can't remember his line. I just remember it was a nice long monologue. Yeah. Oh, that's good points. Oh, look at you. Look at you. That's awesome. And I'm keeping the pattern.

15. 15. All right. Now we're in the weeds. How about Luke Bacod? Was the Skipper? Wasn't there like a fantasy thing where he did that in one of the episodes?

I'm just imagining. Yeah, but you're not going to count that. It was like a holodeck thing. It was fictional. It's fictional. Yeah, but it's... Him being a sea captain is... I see what you're saying.

It's the fiction. It's an extra... Fiction inside of the fiction. It's what it is. I'm going to go with... This is a terrible idea. I'm going to blow this. Captain Ron, remember that movie?

Oh my gosh. That is such a good one. I'm not even sure it was a real rank in that movie. I don't even know. It was also a self-assigned post. Yeah. Doesn't matter. What is it?

No, it doesn't matter. better. Can't wait to watch it for film sex someday. Show me Captain Ron. Damn it. Not even on the board. I'm surprised. Like Captain Ron, it's almost one of those things when you say the word Captain Ron usually. Oh, I'm sorry. Nope, three people did say it. Number 16.

Okay. Captain Ron did get some love. Captain Ron's great. What was the name of that shit? Something. St. Potato. St. Potato. That's right. It's so dumb, dude. It's so dumb. I love Captain Ron. Anyway. Love it. All right. Well, hey, with that.

Three answers left on the door. Without this, without this captain, the minnow would be lost. The minnow would be lost. I'm going to go with the skipper in Gilligan. Skipper's a captain. Scott was pretty close to, sure, he was the captain of that boat. I almost did this one. Is it a skipper another word for captain or is that?

Yes. It's a fish, I think. Isn't that a fish? It's a mud skipper. Show me the skipper. Shit. Yep, Jonas Grumby, a.k.a. the skipper. Look how close we were to the pattern except for Horatio.

You're kind of repeating the pattern on the right side. I'm going to reopen it if you get these last two. Scott would have to get seven. Brian would have to get 10. All right. Yeah, we can, yeah, I like that. There's another chance, guys. We can do it.

Right. Why am I? Oh, my God. Why am I blank on this guy's name? He's a classic. It's the captain from Treasure Island with the peg leg. Why am I ever lose this

stupid blackballing name? Crap! Why am I blanking on that? Captain, uh, Captain Curvement. The reason why I can't think of anything

is all I got Captain Cainman running through my head. Yeah. Oh, what is it? Can I just say the Treasure Island captain? Would you give it to me then? Um, sure.

You know what? I will. All right. Because it's an X. I got you. Okay. hilarious. Hilarious.

You're a riot. Yep. Uh, let's just go and give it to you right here. Long John Silver is who you're trying to think of. Long John Silver is the name with the restaurant because it's just, God, bless him. I didn't know he was a captain. I forgot about that.

He's a pirate captain. Yeah. I probably self-assigned once again. Probably. I mean, I guess if you have a boat and you tell other people on that boat how to sail said boat, then you're the captain. Sure. And I'll be honest, I was really thinking of the Muppet Treasure Island movie trying to remember his name. Oh, sure.

Yeah, I'm just being honest here. It wasn't literary work. It was Muppet movie. Well, one of those people, one of those three people that said Lung John Silver did actually say Long John Silver from Muppet Treasure Island. I'm like, you know, same character. Same guy. Yeah.

All right. I'm going to try for, we're going to go back to where we started and I'm going to try for Captain Barbosa. Oh, sure. I'm a big fan of that role. All right. Jeffrey Rush does. Show me, Captain Barbosa. Oh.

Damn it. Captain Barbosa was number, he's up higher. 15, Captain Barbosa, 15. Okay, that's not too bad. I feel right about that. Captain Ron and Long John Silver, which is now making me hungry for fish sticks and hush puppies. Good one. What if I had said Captain and Commander, what would that have worked? No, because that was based on a real guy.

You mean Master and Commander? Master and Commander? Master and Commander. That is great. Captain Jack Aubrey. For Master and Commander was number 12. Oh, that was close. You would have been a lot closer.

Let's look at these other two. Number seven, Captain Haddock from Tintin. I don't know. Oh, yeah. I have a real, I got a blind spot with Tintin. I do too. I would not have, you could have given me 100 guesses. I never would have gotten to Captain Hattuck.

And are you ready, kids? Oh, of course. The Blank Dutchman from SpongeBob. Oh, man. Was he? I guess he was a captain. He said he was. Another pirate, right?

That, uh, who was a, you got a boat and you tell people that to sail it. That's true. I think, yeah, if you're calling the shots, you're just captain. Yeah. Yeah. It's not like you have to be bestowed the role by some sort of official body. I agree. And there's no HOA and, uh, boat management.

That's true. Your, uh, your bonus by the way was Davy Jones. Oh, Davey Jones. All right. Yep. Uh, just, uh, just, uh, really quickly going through some of these other ones. Popeye.

Popeye? Like Popeye? Not like Popeye? Captain Kangaroo. Not a captain. I almost said that one at one point. Dwed Paiwit Wabits. Fjord Stone, Horatio Hornblower, Monkey D. Luffy, Odysseus, Blyte. Captain Bly. Captain Bird's Eye from the fish sticks. The fish sticks.

Captain Blood. I think. Captain D's is another fish stick, like a fast food restaurant. It is. Let's see. Captain Morton. Captain Nathan Bridger. Captain Zoltar. Did the Morton guy mean Morgan when he said Morgan?

No, no, because he said Mr. Roberts in 1955. So I just assume that was a genie. Oh, a stupid genie. Let's see. Quentin McHale from McAil's Navy. Nathan Bridger from Seekwest. No, Sequist. I'm thinking about Sequist at all.

Steve Zisoo. Yeah, that's a good one. And finally, the Gortons fisherman. Nice. He's a fisherman, not a captain. That's two Murray brothers in this list, by the way. So Flying Dutchman is the voice of Brian Doyle Murray. Oh, really?

Or sorry, Dave's Locker, sorry. David Jones. Dave Jones Locker. In SpongeBob, he's the voice of that character. And then Bill Murray, of course, Steve Zisoo for the... Gotcha. Good. Wow, the Murray's really showing up today.

Fantastic. Claire in all cap says, Papa is a sailor man. It's in his name. Okay. He's not a captain, though. I think he's just a sailor. He's just a sailor man.

He doesn't even, he dresses like the guys that come ashore and find ladies. He's often swabbing the dick in his little. That's true. And eating green stuff out of a can. Brian, who won what and how happy are they? Sure.

Congratulations. Going to Brian Dunway for pulling that one out with a seven-pointer to close the game, which means that Roadrash is getting a game, and wouldn't be funny if we gave them Road Rash. We didn't. We're giving them El Uden Chronicle, Hundred Heroes, and Star Wars Bounty Hunter. Fantastic games in both cases.

Alluton Chronicles is a turn-based up-res remake of a JRP during the PS1 era. That is so good. The people who know it, know it. It's one of those games, where if you know how good it is, you know, but then a lot of people have never even heard of it. But he's getting a good one. It's very good.

That's very cool. Corpsekeeper is going out to Spencer S because we like to give something to everybody. Your participation trophy is corpsekeeper. And all of these are courtesy of Wesley. Congratulations. Well done, Wesley. Well done. Everybody gives us codes.

We appreciate it. And well done, Brian Donaway for your participation trophy today. You did really well. Actually, who won this? Brian did. Never mind. I'm ripping on him like he's the one that lost. I don't know why I did that.

Did you hear yesterday's show, by the way, assigned teams? You were on a team with... Someone let me know. Yeah, okay. So you know you're... I'm team beardoes. Beardos. Is that what you guys are going by?

I think that's... No, I'm not sure about that. I should actually have all of you guys come up with your team names and let me know what they are, so I can introduce you properly at the event in two months. Beardotow is a great name. That's perfect. Get a lot of beards in there. Done away tonight, you and I play retro, 4 p.m. Mountain Time.

Everybody be there. Frogpants. TV, we'll be talking about the fantastic video game Never Winter Nights and its impact on this industry that we love so much. It is old now. Everyone's like, wait, that's not that old. Yeah, it is. It's like 23 years old. 20. Some years old. Yeah, it's old.

So we're going to talk about it. The heyday of BioWare and that amazing game for all the things that it did. That's coming up today at 4. Yeah. Kiss our butts. All right. He's out. He's out of here. Now we play this. Isn't technology wonderful? It is when Tom

Merritt is adjoining us. He's a joining us. Ajoining. That's like a room. Like he's connecting the two of us. Yeah. I'm not sure how that works. He's the glue that holds the two of us together. Tom, how do you feel about being in an adjoinement or whatever?

I'm the straw that stirs the morning stream drink. That's right. Oh, cool. I was waiting for a camel's back to be in there. But okay. Yeah. We'll take it any way we can get it. Tom Merritt is here.

He is here on Wednesdays. To answer those tough tech questions you listeners have. That's right. For the purveyor of the Daily Tech News show and all its surrounding properties. The tougher, the harder. That's what I say. Before we get to our question, can we talk about this K-pop business that Brian witnessed and you guys had some commiseration about?

So I guess first of all, Brian, how was the concert? It was good, I assume. Well, you know, it would have been a lot better had Deion and Cheyung been part of the band. You know, if we would have had, was I close? Dayung and Cheyong. Deiang and Cheyeng, yeah. But, you know, their presence was absolutely missed. Just kidding.

I wouldn't be able to tell you what the band is like. I will say this. Technologically, that was one of the most amazing shows I've ever seen. Like, not just people with their light sticks. And yeah, I got there. I should have pre-ordered a light stick if I want a one. But I will when Katzai eventually. comes to Colorado or Black Pink or something like that. The pro move is to go to a K-pop store and buy it.

Yeah, I found one too. It's in Denver here. And I really thought, yeah. You got a few here, I'm sure. Yeah. But there's that, which is synced with the music and everything going on stage. So I could even give Scott like video. If you want video, Scott. Send it via phone or anything, whatever. Okay. Any preference? I think probably phone's easier. Yeah, phone's easy. All right. Let's give you. this right here and you probably will want to turn it down because the noise is probably pretty crazy. All right, no worries. It's really loud. So the lightsticks are all

synchronized, Bluetooth to your phone, to the band so that the music is, as they play it, it's all thrumming and in time and in color with whatever is going on stage. Then the stage itself is this giant video square in the middle of kind of like

an S stage. I think it's just Oh, there it is. Yep, got it. Cool. Um, and in the middle of this S shape stage, there's this, this video square. And the video square in the middle is nine individual platforms, probably a good eight feet, eight by eight feet each. And they can all move in unison to raise the whole stage up, or they can all move in, in different layers, which was amazing, like, because they'd have the, um, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

It's like a crazy Circta Soleil kind of. Oh my gosh. Look at that, dude. Holy crap. Yeah. So like all of those, like all of those lights you see in the audience are these, you can even see some in front of us, these light sticks. Oh, those are, so they're programmed, like, uh, but doing.

Synchronized with the, synchronized with whatever's going on on stage. How does it know? I guess it's location. So like one section of the crowd. Yeah, it's using the Bluetooth beacon stuff that only ever gets covered as being for advertisers. but they're using it for this.

That's wild, man. It's so amazing. It really made me jealous because I wanted one. We went to two different merch kiosks, and they were only selling t-shirts and sweatshirts and stuff like that, at the two we went to. So we assumed that the big one on the bottom floor of the arena was the one that was selling, if they had any left.

If they were left, yeah. What do you do with them after the fact, though? Are they only go to the concert? You put them on your shelf behind you when you're doing technology segments on a podcast. Nice. Perhaps. Sometimes, you might. You could also program them yourself and like use them for,

not that many people do that, but you can play around with them yourself and they do a bunch of other things that you can program. I did not know that. I also love the fact that three of the members of twice speak English and could say, hey, Denver, we're really glad to be here. We love this energy that you're giving us. And then the other four were, you know, spoken in Korean. and then had a translator

this other completely different voice saying, hello Denver, we're really glad to be here. I hope you have a good time tonight. They kind of let the English speakers be the spokespeople, I suppose. They could have, but no, because you, it is like like even screen time pretty much for everybody, right?

Like each of the seven members had time to address, talk to the audience and cheer and that sort of thing during songs. Like, they are constantly moving to have one person up front who's going to be doing the next the next vocal segment. It's really, really

cool. And if you've seen K-pop Demon Hunters and you're familiar with the song, Take Down, Oh, you're ready for the takedown. That's them. Oh, I thought that was them just then. Oh, yeah, it was that good.

Yeah, thank you. Killer work there. I've got a lot of film songs to send you, Tom. Yeah. But yeah, no, it's, it's, that was their song, so they came out. Only two of them came out and did that one, which I'm guessing are the, the two that wrote it. Is it? Well, it's the two that performed it.

Yeah, Joniang and Chiho. And then Dayon would be the other one, but she's got a bad back right now. And she's also one of the better English speakers, so you missed out on that. Oh, really? Oh, bummer. I think Jungian is my, is my bias. Oh, really? That's awesome.

Yeah. She's really, really good. like her vocals are really strong and she, I don't know, just her, she's got a lot of presence on stage. Like she kind of commands it even. She's pretty fierce, yeah. She is, yeah. If anyone ever asked me, how knowledgeable is Tom about K-pop?

I will say, he's aware of the medical status of the one that's having back trouble. That's amazing, dude. How do you know? I guess you're just a mega fan. That's just it. I mean, some of it is I read up on it. Some of it is Eileen tells me. So, you know, I can't take all the credit.

She's the true mega fan, but then, but you have come up to speed, all right. I stay, I stay, yeah, I keep my hand in. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's amazing. Mo Mo Mo was, I think Mo Mo was a crowd favorite because every time they showed MoMA up on screen, the crowd would go nuts. Fellas love Mo Mo Mo. Just put it that way.

The fellas love Mo Mo Mo. It's not like a lot of women's screen, girls screaming, too, when Mo Mo Mo is up on screen. Girls want to be Mo Mo Mo Mo. Yeah. I can see why. She's adorable. But that was kind of a funny thing. Oh, yeah. In between songs when it was kind of quiet, you know, somebody in front of us yelled,

I love you, Momo! And that was a dude. It was definitely a dude there. But then all of a sudden, it was like we were hearing them from all over the arena. Like, in different sections all around us, somebody would just randomly scream, I love you, neon, or Gio, or whatever. It would be like these different screams.

It's like, wow, this is, I've never seen anything like this. Oh, yeah. Other thing, band starts on the list. Yeah. Right. Band starts on time, no opening act. And it's like, it's run like clockwork. It's really, it's really an efficient concert.

Oh, I like efficiency in concerts. And you get to sit down during what they call the VCRs, the parts where they're like playing video up while they're doing costume changes and stuff. Which I know this show doesn't have as many of as. some K-pop shows, but it's a nice little breakdown. Tom, let me tell you, we were sitting on the third level, and when I reached behind me, I touched the inner wall of the arena because there was nobody behind me. We sat for the whole concert.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We stood when other people in front of us were standing, but we were so high. I mean, you can see from that image that I guess got, like, how far we were from the... You guys are pretty far up here. We're pretty far, yeah. I mean, it's... Beautiful, though. Gosh, dang.

It is. It's a really cool arena. Just the Nugget Rit arena, or where they play? It is. That's where the Nuggets and the Avalanche play. Here's Tina and I enjoying our K-pop experience. Oh, yeah, here we go. Oh, yeah.

And I was talking about just how nice the fans were. Like, we're in line to get into this place, and there's, like, four or five people walk down the line. Here, have a friendship bracelet. Here, have a little care package with a couple pieces of candy, a sticker and a barrette. And, uh, nice. Those are called freebies. And pretty much every K-pop show has some people who do freebies and hand them out and stuff.

That's amazing. That's really nice. That is so cool. You don't see that in a Metallica show. I love some freebies. You see that kind of thing at like a Taylor Swift show or something like that. Yes. Yeah.

The French bracelet absolutely. Yeah. Yep. Well, there you go. A little recap from the night. It was a great time and I can't, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm in for the next, the next one that comes through Denver. Do you consider yourself a once, which is the fan name?

I did not. know that that was the term for a fan until they were, until that first introduction when they were talking about, who's been a once the longest? And I'm like, oh, I guess that must be the name of their fans are the ones. But wouldn't you, I would have taken that as my first time here. Right? You know? I know. I've been once five times. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know how I would have taken that. But then again, I know so little of this world. I'm fascinated by this entire exchange, to be honest. It is. It was absolutely amazing. And it was, It was unlike any other concert I've ever seen.

And so thank you for, you were the one Tom, you and I lead recommended that, oh, twice is coming to Denver, Brian. Yeah, and they put on a good show. They really do. I'm glad you had a good time. Yeah. All the songs I didn't know, I greatly enjoyed. And the few songs that I did recognize, I also enjoyed. So you're John Young bias.

And do you have a wrecker? Oh, my wrecker probably would be Mina Tazaki, or I guess Sana, she goes by. Yeah, yeah, Sana, yeah, Sana, right. Sana. Not Mina. There's also Mina. Mina and Sana are two different people. Oh, yeah.

Sounds real to me. Like they show Mena Tizaki, like they show that as her first name, I guess, or I don't know, is that the order? Is it last name first? I'm not sure. In Korea, it's last name first, usually.

In Japan's too. And Sana's Japanese. Oh, okay. Mena Tazaki is. Oh, Tazaki is very Japanese. She's a fantastic vocalist. Like her, and I think, even though they kept things kind of even,

she was the one who also came out for takedown, I believe? Is that right? Or no? Maybe it wasn't. It would have been Jihou. Would have been Jihou. Okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah, Gijo and Jungan. Or Jungan. Yes. Yeah. And then Mina, there's also,

Minotazaki is Sana's last name. And then Mina is another member of twice. That's why I was clarifying. Oh, yeah, she was great. Yes. For the record, because the word is a little weird, the name of this band is twice. For those who are a home going, I don't know who they're talking about. It's called twice. It's not how many times anyone's seen it. It's none of that once business. As they sing, once you see us, you're going to love us twice. Oh, see, that's a nice little thing they do there. I like that. Well, Tom, it's time to get to your question. Let's talk tech. Yeah, let's get to this tech question.

We got this one from a listener. I really like this thing because I've thought about this recently myself, given all the talk about, I don't know, where we're at with CPUs and chips and capacitors and how much AI is sucking up all the hardware and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Here's what Crendel says. Why is that name familiar? Crendel. Comic maybe. Yeah. Or Grendle-Wald. Yeah, any of those.

Those all work. Says I've got one I hope Tom will enjoy talking about. Someone told me at work the other day that Moore's Law is no longer happening. The statement that, quote, the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every two years, unquote. He gave me no reason for this, but he was awful sure of himself. Does Tom know if we hit a wall on Moore's Law after all these years?

is Crendel. Do you know Moore's second law? No, Scott, or Brian? Moore's second law is every year the number of people claiming Moore's law has ended will double. I was going to say, is this like the Third Amendment. No one ever remembers what the Third Amendment is. Yeah. And first of all, Moore's law is not a law.

It's just Gordon Moore, who is one of the founders of Intel, observed at 1965, that the number of transistors on a chip was doubling about every year. Later, that was revised to every two years. And the way they measure it has changed over the years to be like, well, it's not literally the double number of transistors. It's this or it's that. And we haven't been doubling transistors for several years. But some people say, well, Moore's Law is still in effect because we are doubling the transistors on a pretty regular basis, right? some generations take longer, some smaller.

There are also different ways of creating chips now, like chiplets where you have multiple dyes in one package, where it's like, well, the number of transistors on the chiplet hasn't doubled, but if you use the chiplets in the package, then you've more than doubled. So how do you count that? Because that is all part of the CPU. There's also 3D stacking. There's specialized cores like we have with Nvidia, and then other advanced packaging, which Intel has been pushing lately as well. So your transistor count rises, but it's not necessarily on the die, the way Gordon Moore originally said in 1965. And a lot of people have said really what is useful about Moore's law is does the architecture, the efficiency, the specialization, does that lead to performance doubling? So the innovation continues in a lot of different ways, and the performance doubling certainly has, has, has,

increased. We are now getting to a point where physically speaking, you can't make things smaller. You start to run into quantum effects. And I'm not talking about quantum computing when I say that. I just mean like you're dealing with particles where at that scale, at that small of a scale, knowing the actual position of an element becomes a factor in creating this. So as scaling has slowed, it becomes more expensive. And you have to find other. other ways to get the performance out of it. So your friend's not wrong, but he's also not right, because it depends on what you mean by Moore's law. Do you mean the effect on processing or do you mean the literal transistors? If you're talking about literal transistors, yeah, he's absolutely right.

Arguably, that's been dead for years. If you're talking about our ability to increase performance by adding architecture and scaling, then he's not right because we are continuing to add more performance to processors as we go along. But we are coming up along to a physical barrier, and it'll be interesting to see how people work around that. Yeah, people calling it a law, sure is a stretch to call it a law, isn't it? Well, it was fun to call it a law in 1965, you know, when it was just kind of a back of the envelope like, yeah, you know, Moore's law, right? But people started to take it so seriously, and it worked out so well for so many decades that people start to literally think of it as a law, but it's not. Yeah.

So even if we're, if we take the angle of it's, it's, we're seeing performance gains in the, in the realm of what the spirit of the law was, quote unquote law. That's, that's an interesting metric, right? Because if, if we can, given restraints of how small we can go, still achieve leaps like that at some regular interval, that's at least a fun thing to track. And then when that slows, to me, that's more interesting than we ran out of space. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, you know, every time people think, well,

Moore's Law is going to die because we can't do this, somebody comes up with chipplets or 3D scaling or, you know, these other ways to get around it. So you're going to, you're going to reach a point where just the number of transistors you can fit in a space, it can't be anymore. But at that point, you either come up with new art, architectures, new ways of pulling performance out, maybe by using some kind of generative model or

deep learning or something. Or we get quantum computers that just make a lot of this irrelevant. Like, yeah, but you can do that with a quantum computer. So it doesn't matter about the transistors because you're using an entirely different kind of system. Let me ask you this. This is a bit of a, maybe this is a dumb question. But most of the chips, even though they've gotten, the architectures get tiny and tiny. And then they have these, you know, chiplets and 3D architecture changes how much you can fit into a very small space. The chips kind of stay about like this, right? They seem to be about the size of the Pentiums when I had.

I'm sure there's a lot more heat sinks on them and all this. And I'm just talking like a desktop class, you know, the silicon chips from Apple or latest Intel. Right. I-7s or whatever, I-9s, whatever they are. Why don't we, instead of trying to get in a teen-year and teen-year in the same little space, why aren't chips as big as this as this notepad so that you've got all that's room for just a CPU and now it's not that you're trying to get smaller in a three inch thing you're just got eight and half by 11 to do it you see what I'm saying why don't we do that or ain't the wafers that big

this is one of those questions I should go look it up first before I really answer you but off the top of my head I imagine it's power because you have to send the information longer distances and probably speed. Like once you reach a certain distance limit, now you're slowing things down. Even though it's at the speed of light, on the chip scale where things are incredibly fast, faster than you and I can imagine,

doubling the size of that chip means you've doubled the amount of time it takes to do a process. Okay, that makes sense. And that feels logical, but obviously we have, you know, we need to dig into that more. If any chip experts out there, have any thoughts.

There is a chip architect in the audience. it's right now. So feedback at daily technewshow.com or email Scott and let us know a correction to that. But that's my back of the envelope guess. I've always wondered that. I just don't understand why it's always been limited to this little block. And it's like no bigger. I really do think it has to do with speed. And that's one of the reasons that they built up with the 3D is like, oh, but we could go up. But we're not, you know, we still have the distance of the square up where the speed won't be as much of it. Oh, interesting. There's just stairs to go up instead of a wide warehouse to travel.

Yeah. If you want to look at it in those terms, which I just did. I did. Well, Tom, it's always, always enlightening. And if you guys have a question out there, you want to send to us, just submit them all the ways you can do it at frogpants.com slash TMS. All the ways to contact us are there. We'd love to pass it on to Tom and ask it on a Wednesday.

Tom, anything else going on for you? You'd like to mention, sir? Yeah. Free tom newsletter.com this week. Got controversial, Scott. Oh. Oh, what black pink things or what? No, not this time.

G-Soo was left out of it. No, this was about the greatest generation, was not the greatest generation. In fact, it's not even the boomers nor the millennials. There's two. Gen X. And I explain who they are. And yeah, one of them's mine.

Go check it out, freetown newsletter.com. Nice. I can't wait to read it since I share that generation with Tom. Tom Merritt, thank you for hanging with us. May all of your things you have to do today be not boring, and this is just how I waste time while I hang up on you. Okay, there he goes. All right. Hey, Brian, we're here.

Yes, sir. Let's get us to, we got time for an email. Let's do an email. Let's do it. Yeah, we got one here we can read. How about this one right here? Whoops. This is about the jugs of pee.

Hey, Scala and Bash. This is from Hugh. I'm a programmer. Remember Hugh from Star Trek? He was the... Oh, yeah. Yeah. The Borg that kind of broke out of the Borg.

That became right. That wanted to defect. Yeah. It's like, I'm a real boy, that whole thing. Yes, exactly. And that's back when the Borg just had their faces powdered. They weren't very, they weren't very cool. Anyway, that's neither here nor there.

He says, I'm a programmer for now. And I can confirm that O'Reilly still publishes books on current tech. Unfortunately, my colleagues have all pivoted to asking LLMs for everything. So I'm not sure who's reading them. I'm going for a career change to start making guitars. I freaking love this. Wow, what a great shift. Love it.

It says maybe I'll come back to programming in a few years when they realize they need people who read the books and the brain drain has hit my colleagues. Love the show, though. Hugh. Yeah, interesting perspective, actually, from a programmer. Guess what? AI is not going to make guitars, so you're getting into the right, you're making the right transition. Plus, what a fun. Yeah.

I would love to know more about that. Like, how do you know? How do you, how is that a thing you even get into? Do you just learn? You're doing acoustics? Are you doing electrics? Yeah. Maybe a little of both. Who knows? Yeah. Hugh, tell us more about your deal. I assume you play. I don't think anybody who makes guitars doesn't already play guitars because you got to know. That's a good question. Yeah. Probably right. Tell us all, Hugh. Give us a, give us the rundown on everything. Like Les Paul, he played. Yeah. Who's another stratacaster, do he play? I don't know

I don't think there wasn't a person named Stratocaster Oh there wasn't I don't know If that was a name or not What's another one? Gibson He probably a guy Oh Gibson yes Gibson is good Can't think of anymore I know those are your biggies right

What was Eddie Van Halen's cool Confederate-looking guitar Yeah his with the splatters The paint splatters I love that thing man Yeah Oh Fender that sounds like a guy The maker of the Stratocaster Fender

Oh So Stratocaster is like a... It's like a condomade the car. Stratosphere plus caster. Got it. All right. Well done. Fender.

Bender? Bender. That's it for today. We're going to get out of here. But before we do, a reminder that frogpants.com slash TMS has everything you need. You can request songs there. You can find our quicktms.

LI page where you can see the stuff we've talked about all the time. You can request, I say request the song. I think I said that twice. Quest music. All kinds of fun stuff. Frogpants.com slash TMS. Get there today and get that done. And I think that's everything. Oh, Monday show was shifted to today. Oh, cool. Carter got home late Monday and then yesterday was a bust. She had so much stuff going on. So today at one. And then play retro tonight at four. And then who knows what else? Who knows? Who knows? I did a playtest of my initial sketched out game thing.

Oh, yeah, okay. Boy, I found a bug. Really? It was so, it was so broken. I created it. All you have to do is this and you can win every game. I created a loop that just, it was so bad. I can't even describe it. It was so bad.

It's fun to do that stuff and I was up until midnight again. I'm kind of hooked on making this one. That's awesome. Yeah, I love that you're excited about doing this. New soundography just went up yesterday. It is all about the year 2001. What music did we like from 2001 and what do we hate from 2001? and find out on soundography.com.

Nice. Very nice. Yeah. How about a request? God, you up for that? I am down to clown. Okay. Well, Siren X. Oh, shit. It's his birthday. It's his birthday. The victim of the great D. Seananning from A&P, when we got rid of everybody named Sean all in one sweep. He says, I'm turning 41. Yep, that's it. You guys are awesome. Thanks for all you do.

And the community that you've built, Siren X manager, the Department of Redundancy Department Manager. Nice. Now, what I'll do, Scott, is give the introduction of the song. He wrote an introduction for the song. I don't want to introduce the song. I wanted you to go right into the music. When you edit this all together, go right into the music as soon as I'm done.

I will tell you that this is a band called the Replicants. This is from their self-titled album from 1995. they're covering the car is just what I needed. And here is what Syrinx, how he wants it to be introduced. Nope. Oh. Oh.

Sorry, I thought you meant. Yeah, I have to read the thing now that Serenix to precede the song. Oh, sorry, sorry. Misunderstood. All right, go ahead. The rain drenches the city street as Mr. Wick decisively trudges

towards the front door of the assassin-filled nightclub. He steals himself as he does one last ammo check of his pistol before taking a breath than kicking the door open. As he enters and bullets start flying, mostly into the offending assassins,

music thrums through the building. The specifics of the music are hard to discern amongst the cacophony of gunfire, splintering wood, and breaking bones. But I'm sure the covermaster's attuned ears can hear the melody clearly. This has been a frogpans production. Find all our shows at frogpants.com.
