Hey, everybody. Welcome to TMS. This is the morning stream for Wednesday, April 22nd, 2026. My name is Scott Johnson. That guy's name is Brian Ibbett. Hello, I'm here. I am that guy. You are that guy. You know that guy over there. That guy. Yeah. What accent is this we're doing here? I don't know what this is. That guy. That guy over here. Well, that's kind of your fargo, but I was kind of going a little Ned or that guy. Oh, I like that even better. We're here again. We're here to regain. Gail you with a morning show. We hope you're ready for one because that's what we're here for them. And if you're new to the show, which, you know, it's possible. Strap in and give it a shot.

All right. Just let it wash over you. Yeah. Just, you know, like a warm breeze. Whatever it tastes. Yeah. Speaking of which, I could open all my windows. It got warm again. But not so warm, I want to AC the house. Yeah, but warm enough that at night it's comfortable to have the...

Yes. And then you want to be in those blankets, right? But last night, I was like sweaty and kind of eh. And my wife's gone and I'm alone in there and it's just kind of lame. So she gets home today though for a day for one day. Oh, really? And then where's she going? She has big, oh man, let me tell you what happens in the, not that you don't know this,

but let me tell the world what happens when people die in your family. It doesn't just end the weekend of the funeral. You got just stuff you got to take care of. And in this case, this is a trip back down to Mississippi to take care of a bunch of stuff. Settling a state kind of thing. A whole bunch of that. They're also pairing it with taking her two, I don't know what to call them. What do you call them now?

Her twin younger, her younger adopted twin brothers had fetal alcohol syndrome. And they're on like 100 medications and messed up pretty bad neurologically. And I don't know what you call that now. back in the day you'd say some rude words but they're they're challenged in a bunch of ways anyway she's flying with those two down there because they haven't been down there in like 15 years they're normally in like this home thing that that's set up in this in central Utah they drive them up here they fly down there so they're going to be down there visiting with people she's just going to have her hands full and she's going to be alone doing this I feel bad but also her

sisters are down there so she you know she'll get lots of help so there's like multiple things happening with it and it's all a little chaotic especially right now because we're trying to also you know have an event in a month and a half prepare yeah exactly so uh let's not say a month and a half can we say a month and can we say just under two months please we can say just under you know what let's let's say that it'll make me feel better too it makes me feel better too yeah i'll feel a little better by saying that oh my gosh there's so much to do but we're actually also making some progress so and the house smells like ink so that's cool oh yeah from all the bags, the print, the stamping.

I'm worried we're all going to be like George's fiance at the end of this. You know, we're going to lick too many envelopes and just you guys. Who knew that the ink that Alicia sourced was, y'all are going to be like having to do a wellness check at the Johnson's and find out why I haven't done shows for four days. And I'm like, oh, yeah.

Cheap Timo ink that is made from black mold or something. I actually told her, I said, this stuff's okay to breathe, right? Like how ventilated we need to be. She goes, oh, no, this is like some kind of organic. something, something. So, you know, I trust her. All right. Fair enough. That's either famous last words or it's all good. I don't know. Exactly. Yeah. You have

nothing to worry about. Just know if it happens, we did it for you guys. Okay? We did it for you. Yeah. Anyways, I got a complaint. I'd like to register a complaint with the Microsoft Corporation. All right. As you know, very large market cap corporation. Microsoft is no small player out there. And they make a product as many of you,

may call it Windows. Currently, Windows 11 is where Microsoft is on their numbering scheme of their Windows product. And Windows 11 can eat a turd. Here's the deal. So for no reason that I can tell other than there was some update, my gaming PC, which is a Windows-based PC, started after the update, began to do what I can only refer to as like a loop boot or a boot looping, where it would just boot and then briefly give me the UI and then go back. to booting again. Oh, really? At first it seemed like,

was this hardware? Is this like a board thing? Like, I didn't know for sure, but I did some digging. And it appears to be some people experiencing this after this particular update. Well, I was supposed to live stream

freaking Resident Evil 9, Part 4 with John yesterday. And I discovered this right before the stream. So I couldn't get it to go. And we're like, so last second we cancel or we postpone. and I'm like, I'm going to figure this out.

I got to reload it and blah, blah, blah. I'm telling you, Brian, I'm this freaking close. And I'm holding up a hand for listeners only with a little, little bitty space. It's the gesture that one does to indicate tiny. Yeah, little tiny bit is all it will take to push me over the edge to just load, put Linux on this thing finally with that, what is the chat, biz at or biz, beseech or so. There's some kind of build of Linux that's like supposed to be awesome for just. replace your gaming PC with this and suddenly everything works and it's great. Bazzite.

Bazite. Is that it? Yeah, Bazite. I hate the name. It's stupid. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Bazite. Bazite. Anyway, I'm this close. I may finally pull that trigger and just do it because I'm pissed. I mean, it's just your gaming rig, right? I mean, what's that? That's what I mean. I do all my other production is Mac stuff. I don't have any other.

This is just for gaming. That's all this PC does. Yeah. The problem is it pooped out right when I needed it most. The PC's fine. It's this damn freaking, I hate Windows. And also, every time there's an update, you know what it is? It's like, co-pilot's your best friend. Oh, God.

Yes, right. They're really, every time pushing the, just even when this thing reboots, not even like reinstalling an update. When this thing reboots, it's like, hey, oh, good time to set up co-pilot. You want to click a few buttons? Yeah. And I'm always like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And then I get to a place where it's like, also, we're going to show you ads you never asked for.

Now we're going to, the start menu is going to show you shit you never needed. I don't need headlines down to my start menu. What are we doing over there? Windows is a freaking mess right now. When was the last time you took a look at Edge as a browser? Of that to be your default? Edge is a good browser. I mean, if you go-

Chrome, you go back and you think, Windows 7 and then later 10 to some degree, height of, they were, They were finally getting it. Windows 98, maybe. That was... Well, I don't know about that. Really? That's way too far back. Seven I love because seven was like...

No, seven was good, yeah. Bloat free, cleaned up. None of that crap from XP. Windows 98, because that was about the time I was supporting a whole office full of users. I mean, it was through all that. It was started with Windows 98 going all the way into like, oh, not quite as far as Windows 7. but maybe a version or two before that. But Windows 98 was the simplest damn thing to maintain as a...

Yeah, Windows XP actually, Q-Star. XP was pretty simple. XP was pretty good. It was super security holes, though. Like security holes are biggest cheese with Swiss cheese and that thing is bad. But 7 was like modern and clean and simple, but also powerful enough to do what you had to do. It wasn't even that long ago. There were people who refused to upgrade

because that eight era was a nightmare. Oh, yeah. Nobody wanted that. So 10 kind of got it back to seven in terms of features. And then 11 came along and said, what if this was just bullshit 24-7? So, yeah, Vesta was bad, MaxTrobot.

Look, it's a real mixed bag in the past. And all I'm saying is, Microsoft, in some ways, has learned, from from what Apple does with the Mac OS in terms of like versioning and you know not making it $400 every time you upgrade and things like that yeah but they they've they've lost track of just give me the give me the OS that I don't I'm not looking yes I'll tell you if I want if I want these other things I'll go get them in another format let me add I'll add them on my own somewhere else

totally fine don't need yeah oh hate it so this close and they're people in the chat who said they've done this and they're happy and they've never looked back. Let's see who is it here. Oh, Belsaba, Bills, Billsab 13 says I moved six months ago. Fully deleted Windows 11 last week. Worth it. Lucky Phil says worth it. Yeah, I'm telling you, man, this close.

And it's not, it's just work. But either way it is, now I've got to do this and I've got to deal with like a reinstall or who would have to do with 11. What a pain in the butt. I'm glad my machine over here has not prompted me yet to upgrade to Windows 11. It's still on 10. Oh, it's still on 10. I'm still planning on. I'm just going to leave it.

I think you hold for dear life. I mean, I know they're not supporting it anymore, but for what you do. Yeah. For what you do, you should be fine. Exactly. I mean, the minute 10 stops letting people run stuff, I suppose that's a problem. Sure. But I don't know if we ever get there for that.

But I don't know, man. I don't know what they're, Paul. I don't know what they're doing over there. I don't like it though. I can tell you that. What are you doing? And also there's news this week that Val's putting out a new version of the kernel for Proton that, I don't know, it was something like 800% performance increase for Windows games.

But it's what your Steam Deck runs. Okay. Oh, okay. Yeah. So that's how Windows games run there. Yeah. And my understanding is they just did something like kind of revolutionary with it, which is probably because they're getting ready to release

those steam machines so they want to be as capable as possible maybe I just wait for that sure I don't freaking know yeah that's annoyed seems if it's a gaming rig put the put the OS that's optimized for gaming on it sure yeah yeah so we'll see what happens

we'll let you guys know what I do you know we'll keep you informed that's what we do here we keep people informed and we entertain at the same time we infortainment is what they call that that's right infotainment but infortainment. That's right. And sometimes it includes this guy. That music is an indicator that we're about to play a game, and we can only do that with our good pal Brian Dunaway, who joins us on the line right now. Hello, Brian Dunaway.

Oh, hi Scott and Brian. Do you say we, we, we, we? Did you say we, we, we don't know. I think he did. I think he started a sentence twice. He's like, we, we, we, we're like, we, we, we're, we, we're like, we, we're, we, we, we're, we, we, Oh, really? Okay. I don't know. I don't know. If you say so, I believe you, but, boy, it seems like a trust me. Trust me. Trust me. Trust me.

I mean. Whatever. Whatever. Captain Potandic. What's going to talk to back? Captain. Patantic. Patentic.

Patentic. I thought you. Look at you. Look at you. That's what a pedantic person would say. It was called bait. And you took it. Gopble, gobble,

gobble. It was on the hook. You had it hanging out there. Yeah. Well done. I got my doodle. Here's what we're going to do while your doodles out is we're going to play a game. We're going to play a game called the morning half asses.

No, I'm sorry, Tad Pooley Feud. It's Wednesday. Brian, why don't you explain how the game works so the people at home know what we're doing? I mean, if I have to. It's time to play the Tad Pooley feud. I've, I've surveyed the Tadpool on some nerdy topics. And Scott and Brian will have to predict the answers they gave us. It is Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess.

At the end of the game, we're going to add up all the points because it would be dumb to do it at the beginning. And the winner will actually be winning prizes for their listener. contestant, we've pulled those contestants from supporters on Patreon at patreon.com slash TMS. Scott, you're playing for Jeff Conway. Ooh, I like, I think I know, I think we know Jeff Conway from like events and stuff, I think. Probably do. I would do so.

And not from taxi because that was Jeff Conaway. Correct. And Brian, you're playing for Rob Euston. Rob Euston. Rob Euston. Yep. That's a great name. Robert, Robert Euston sounds like a good anchor.

Like a news anchor. Oh, that too, yes. I'm Robert Newson. What is it? Newsden. I'm Gary Ganoo. Newsden. Newsden.

I'm Robert Newsden. Oh, my hell. That's funny. Anyway, well, that's great. I love these two people, and they're going to win today regardless. So let's go. Yes, exactly. All right.

Put your hands on your buzzers. Why bother? We asked 455 tadpoolers. What's your favorite apocalypse movie? Oh, come on. Come on. Mad Max Fury Road. Let's see how many Tadpoolers just played to the to the host.

To the host. Number one answer on the board. It's also true. Well, it is your favorite. Yeah, it is absolutely my favorite. And also the best ever made. And there's no denying it. All right.

They're not another answers that are blank. I guess. Then you're done. There are others that, you know, try. But they're not. there. Let's go with, yeah.

I do, before I even go any further, so many answers were like, oh, whatever, good Mad Max Fury Road.

Like they actually typed, you know, typed defeatedly, okay, Scott, it's Mad Max Fury Road. Like, Les, if you had any input on the questions like,

had anything to do with it at all. Yeah. Yeah. I'm one of the contestants, you weirdos. All right. Yeah, and LaSarch points out

something very important. That's technically post-apocalypse, not apocalyptic, itself and keep in mind when I put these questions in here they are coming directly from tadpullers now like I'll clean up the maybe the grammar the punctuation like that yeah well the question is what's your favorite apocalypse apocalypse movie but let's face it that tadpool's gonna answer with the tadpull now in there I don't know tadpool's gonna tadpool wants to answer tadpool's gonna tadpool yeah exactly

so there we go with that with that preface uh post apologetic Post-apologetic. Post-apologetic movies. Yes, exactly. All right, Scott, what's the Tadpool's favorite apocalypse movie? All right. I got to think other Mad Maxes are on here, so I'm going to say Road Warriors on here. Sure, that's my favorite.

Show me Road Warrior. Oh, my, Lord. Okay, now I see what's going on. I get it. Okay. Exactly. Road Warrior all the way down at number 23. That's just wrong.

It is wrong because I think that's a fantastic movie. Damn. Okay. All right. Brian, what you got? Scott's only got one point because of his, you know, his Mad Max. My hummus. I'm on the fence about this one, but I kind of need to fill out the tadpool because I'm like,

to the also think of disaster movies that was almost there? I'm going to say yes. Because I, yeah, because I'm thinking we are so tied in with Armageddon. even though that's not really apocalyptic. I mean, it is potentially at the brink of us. Sure, it's pre-apocalyptic. I'm going to just put it out there just to test the waters a little bit. I'm going to say Armageddon up nearly top here before I start making X's.

All right. Okay, I don't want to close my eyes. I don't want to miss a thing. Number five. I'm sorry, number six. Nice. Look at that. Six points immediately are already ahead.

Nice. Well done. All right. So my next one is going to be just a, stab it out at Scott because I don't want him to have it. I'm going to take my next one. Damn it.

I'm going to go ahead and say, I'm going to go ahead and say Waterworld. Damn it! Just because I'll like your chop Scott off at the knees. That's right. Let's see how many tadpullers decided to play to Scott's second favorite post-apocalyptic movie. Show me, Waterworld.

Oh! Believe it. I know. Believe it or not. Are you kidding me? 16. Yeah. It's number 16 on the list. Shock. by this, absolutely shocked by this. Yeah.

Holy shit. Sometimes they don't suck up. You guys surprise me every day in the TED pool. Everyone's. I don't even know where to go now. That's nuts to me. It's mind-blowing. Bigging and zagging.

And now what do you do? Just run straight? What's that? Oh, I know what it was because it was called the year it came out. Or you're, right? Anyway, I'm going to try that 2012 business. Sure. John Cusack doing a Duke's the.

hazard jump across the chasm with the limousine. Yep. Show me 2012. I can't believe it. Number 15, by the way. I don't even know what to say to these people. I'm blown away that these aren't on here. What is it? What else is on here? Do you guys put like freaking, I don't know, Larry and his four chickens? Like, what is the name of the movie you guys think you like? All right. It's fine. Whatever. I kind of like, I don't know. We've watched. so many great ones

on the film sacks. And that might be what's screwing us up as we're thinking about those. It might be. That's what I'm trying to think. Is this a film sack crowd? You would think so. But I'm going to go with the one that I liked. You didn't say this one.

Did you? You didn't say the day after tomorrow. You said 2012. Okay. Yeah, I'm going day after tomorrow. All right. With that, what's his face? With Jake, wasn't Jake Gillen, Gilly Hall?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, he was co-star. That's right. It was mostly, what's his name, though, a terrible shrimp eater from the body horror movie. Dennis Quaid. That's horrible shrimp eater from the body horror film. Right.

Oh, my gosh. Yeah, movie poster, too, it was going to be fantastic this year. Show me the day after tomorrow. Yeah, number four. Damn. All right. Well, that's, right. Okay, that kind of, all right.

Well, we haven't hit. Know what we haven't hit? we hit the zombie apocalypse shit. So I'm going to say 28 days later, because I know Scott likes that one too. I love 28 days. I love the 28 series in general. It's very good. Sure.

Okay. Show me 28 days later. Number two. Right. Nice. You're rocking this, dude. Let's see here. Now I'm thinking,

would they have given the twin movie? Because it kind of really is an apoptilic apocalypse movie. It's for you to say. A twin movie? Not, obviously not. You're not.

The twin movie? The Shining? Oh, oh, oh, you're talking about the, yeah. I'll let you come up with a name. Yeah, yeah. No, no, wait. What's it against, Scott? Yeah, it's, uh, the, uh, the, uh,

the, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, hot Larry and his 14 wives. I'm going to go with deep, I'm going to go with deep impact. Just because it's been on TV a lot lately. So, like, every time I turn. on TV. I'm seeing them heading for the hills. I don't know why. You turn on a TV and it's already showing something not just to screen where you choose what you want to watch?

No, because I have my Samsung TV set to go to the live channels where there's like five movie channels. And every time I turn it on one of the movie channels, it must be in rotation. I love that. That's like HBO of the 80s where you just could count on the one, whatever it was at the time.

I know. There's something about I do miss, but I sometimes when you describe stuff like that brand. I feel like the soda jerking back to the future, too. You want to, you want a tab? You're going to have to pay for it. Amazing. All right.

Crystal, Pepsi, what the hell's wrong with you? Show me, what did you say? Deep impact. Deep impact. Oh, man. Not as memorable as Armageddon. 13. Yeah, did well, but just didn't make the cut.

Okay. Nobody said, we just got news of us. sequel. So let's get I am legend in there. Yeah, that was the other one I was kind of thinking of. I am still legend. I am still a legend and it's got your Michael B. Jordan in there, I guess, is co-starring

with William Smith. Okay. Yeah. William slap another guy, Smith. Listen, there's no dog, so I'm out. I don't care. The dog is gone and that was the worst thing that happened. But what if there's a mannequin to yell at? That's fun, right?

Right, right. What was the mannequins? Larry! Larry! What are you doing, Larry? Why are you here again? Fred? He gave me what it was. Something like that. Larry's coming up a lot. I don't know why. Fine. Fine.

All right, boy, Scott, this is it. Like, you're down to your third strike. If I Am Legend is not on here, then Brian is going to win the game automatically. Shit. So here we go. Let's see if it's on here. Show me. I am legend. Got to be kidding me, man. I am legend number 17 in the list.

This is one of the weirdest ones we've done. It just is, I'm having cognitive dissonance of this. I was going to shamble back to the zombie genre again and do like Day of the Dead and that kind of stuff. That was since we kind of had. Yeah. You can. Well, it might have been, yeah, might be a thing to do. You've already won.

Oh, yeah. I'm going to say, do we still keep on going? No, we can just reveal them if you want or you can try to guess them. No, no. No. No. Let's do the day of the dead. Let's do the day.

You still haven't gotten your third strike. You still have a minute, 10 seconds before Tom gets here. So go ahead. Oh, okay. In that case, then, what you guys have been doing this week? I watched the Stiffle Ice, the Olympic team, a bunch of Olympic team guys out there and gals out there at the skating rink. A lot of tight crotches with the loop. Oh, did you go see that same thing?

The thing that we were talking about. Oh, that's right. No, you were the one who brought it up. I was like, KT. Data was talking about. Somebody was talking about that. KT Data was talking about how he just bought tickets. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right.

There was a whole thing in the chat about it. And I was dumb because I forgot we pushed play retro, watch retro and all that. It's too expensive for me. All right, show me. What? Day of the Dead. There we go.

Just in time for Tom. Perfect. Let's go through the rest of these. Congratulations, by the way, Brian, with 12 points. You should have kept on the zombie thing, at least for a couple more. Sean of the Dead. Sean a dead. That was one of my head too.

This was one of the first ones I thought of. And I'm surprised that neither of you came up with this. We watched it for Film Sack and we all loved it. The Book of Eli. Oh, you know, I just don't always think about the book of Eli on the top of my. Even though it's one of my favorites. Yeah, I love that one. It just doesn't pop up.

It's great. Your Clive Owen deal. Oh, number seven. Oh, children of men, baby. Children of men. One of the best movies ever. love that movie. Jesse Eisenberg in number eight with Zombie Land. Yeah. That's a good one. All right. Your

Disney Pixar deal number nine. Double tap. Oh, Wally. Oh, good one. And just because Tadpool's going to Tadpool, your favorite apocalypse movie is number 10. Apocalypse now. Of course it is. Gosh, dang it. You mentioned it as a joke. I should have done it. I should have done it. I would have won. The points in there would have been massive. Yeah. And then you're Your bonus was a tie. Don't look up and Independence Day for...

Little surprise in Independence Day is not in the top ten. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you guys... Sadpole really threw me on this one. You guys are wild. Yeah.

I mean, there's so many to choose from, and we've done somebody for FilmSec, that it's almost like, instead of it feeling like a definitive up and down list, it's like a wide ocean of these are all floating on top of it kind of thing. Yeah, and I'll give us some credit, though. They absolutely got number one, 100% correct.

They got that one. That was easy. Sure. Good job, guys. That was easy, squeezy. Best fake answer, of course, was X-Men Apocalypse. Because, come on. That is the best apocalypse movie.

Unfortunately. Pretty, pretty bad. So congratulations. It's going to be going to Rob Euston, who is, here's the news, Rob. You are going to be getting a copy of Tempest Rising and date everything. Oh, fantastic pair of games. date everything.

Yeah, date everything's awesome. You can date, you try to date the dryer. I'm assuming you date, I'm assuming you date everything. No, for real. You date the dryer. You date the microwave. You date the door. It's a hard thing to explain, but it's full of like the critical role voice people and a whole bunch of like really awesome voice.

It's really good. I don't think it's hard to explain at all. I think it's brilliant. It is a brilliant. It's like, how fun. Yeah, it's really good. Why limit ourselves to just pigeons or the colonel? Let's date everything.

Are you talking about Tesla? It wasn't super, you know, serious. What, Tesla, what are you talking about? His pigeon. His pigeon? Who? I'm talking, no, I'm talking, Nikola Tesla dated a pigeon. I'm talking about a pigeon dating simulator that exists.

Yeah, that's real. Yeah. That's a real thing. And the Colonel dating simulator, Colonel Sanders dating simulator. Did Nicola Tesla date a pigeon? Eh, allegedly. I never heard any of it. this. All right. That's cool. Was he Gonzo?

What was this going on? Yeah, what happened? But don't worry, Jeff Conway, you're getting something as well. You're going to be getting Bus Simulator 21. I can't believe there have been 21 bus simulator games. This one is subtitled Next Stop. Yeah, that one's a good one. At least the series is pretty good. I don't, I can't speak for that one. But you guys are going to get those in your PMs over there. That's your private messages.

Not your BMs. Although you can play it on your BM if you have a steam deck. Anyway, this is happening over on the Patreon. So watch for those. Steaming BMs on your streamer deck. Big note, by the way, Scott, would you give them these prizes, make sure and include these dates? Because they have to activate these games by either August 3rd or September 3rd will they get these. All right. I'll just put August 3rd as the default.

We have some deadlines on the next batch of games that we give away. Not a problem. I will let them know. Yes. Which key is it that you slap? Is it the inner key or the space? Usually the energy. So if I go

Like here we go Here I'll do it really loud. Can you hear that? Yeah. Okay, yeah. That's the one. That's the one. I hit it pretty hard.

Ow, I actually kind of hurt my fingertip. By the way, all those games, courtesy of Wesley. Thank you, Wesley. Thank you, Wesley, as always. And everybody who contributes their codes that they're not going to use tonight, Brian Dunaway and I will spend some time together

for two episodes of something. So first episode will be play Retro at 4. We're doing that. That's going to be great. Okay, so tune in for play retro. And then right after... Yeah, we're going to do some fighting games from Square Enix. You guys remember Toll Ball, Toll No 1?

Or Toll Ball Zero 1. I thought it was Toll Ball No one. Is it number one? I think it's number one. I'm pretty sure it's not no. Yeah, because it's got a dot after the O. Anyway, Toll Ball number one, this weird-ass fighting game from the 90s PlayStation era stuff. So we're going to talk about that.

And then we're going to do a watch Retro where we watch a bunch of old weird animation. Back to back tonight. So, because we had to make some room for Dunaway earlier on. Oh, thank you. Make room for Dunaway. Make room for Dunaway. As he now kisses our butts. All right.

He's out. Cool. I'll tell you what's in, though. What's in? Tell me. Isn't technology wonderful? This is in. Tom Merritt joins us.

He is the tech lord, as far as I'm concerned, Lord of Tech. And that sounds like, you're all right with that title? Okay. Yeah, all right. Lord of Tech. When you always called me the man, it always, always made me think of, you know, the man's got you down. But, you know, Lord of tech.

Stick it to the man. This is more positive. When has anyone had a negative connotation with a lord of a ring? Yeah, of a ring, they're pretty good. Well, no, the leaders are the kings of men. Those are, they didn't go very well with those rings. You know what I mean? Because they, look, the elves, they handled it.

They made it work. They were the Lord of the Ring, though. No, that's true. The Lord of the Ring was very responsible. but also you know there's the phrase oh don't lord it over me so Lord can you know sometimes

a little bit of a negative negative connotation I feel like Sauron got a bad rap you know somebody stole his ring stole his property and then destroyed it and everybody thought he was the bad guy

yeah what happened there yeah J.R. R. Tolkien if that's your real name Junior R. Tolkien Junior R Tolkien I love it. Do we want to let Tom know that we're looking at him from the side?

Oh you have I didn't notice, yes, Tom, you are a side view today, and not that I mind. You can do whatever you want. You make your very handsome profile. Oh, thank you. Oh, thank you. For just, you know, picking an unexpected camera. Sure.

Sometimes it'll do that. It's as if I had open claw. It lets us see that you have the little detonators, the thermal detonators from Disneyland that have Diet Coke and regular Coke in them. Yato. Yato. One of them used to have actual soda still in it. And on a live stream, people encouraged me to throw it away before something bad.

Did you drink it? No, you threw it. You actually poured it out. Okay. That's a good idea. I wouldn't drink it. Yeah, yeah. I have a thing of Dr. Pepper Zero, something cherry, whatever, in a liter bottle that's been in the garage for a year.

And we just didn't see it. It was behind something. And I pulled it out and I'm like, oh, look at this. Free soda. And then I went, it's been here a year, dude. Do I really want to eat this or drink this? It might be fine. Might be.

But it means it was like there for both cold and heat. Here's what's funny. I would trust regular Dr. Pepper that's been sitting in a 2-liter bottle getting cold and hot in the garage for over a year. But the zero sugar worries me. There's something about whatever they use to supplement the sugary flavor. Because it turns, right? Or it has like a, it can be affected by heat or something. Yeah.

Because of ammonia or something. Sugar is a preservative. So if there's enough sugar, it's probably okay. Although sugar can degrade. but sugar inhibits antibiotics or what am I trying to think of bacterial growth. What about the, but is aspartame the same? Does it behave differently? No, my dad's dead so I can't ask him, but it does other things.

Yeah. And it was still sealed. The wraith asked if it was sealed. I did. So what I did is I opened. It was a, yeah, it was a zero. So I opened it and I smelled it. Yeah.

And it didn't smell right. Like not that soda smells. good. It's just something was wrong. This isn't a judgment of Dr. Pepper. You're just like, Dr. Pepper even shouldn't smell that way. No. And I do love me some Dr. Pepper and I will say it was painful to pour it out, but I did. If it had just been a bottle of like San Pellegrino or something, probably would have been fine. Yeah. I don't have any of those

is the problem. Well, anyway. Well, I don't know why I have Burt's doing the pigeon in my head. Can you explain that? Because it's, okay, hear me tell you something. I say we were PTSD'd by that as kids because it's the first time where Bert, the Muppet, was on two feet and was like up and moving and doing this. Oh, really. Yeah. And you see his legs and it was all a trick with a back, the black bank blanket thing or whatever they did back then.

And it was just somebody moving those feet around. But I remember that really throwing me as a kid. I was just like, we have never, why aren't they all like this? Number one. And then when they are like this, why is it just him dancing like as a kid? I couldn't compute it. I remember how freaked out it was when I saw Kermit riding a bike. And he had his, you know, we saw his legs doing on the pedals.

The first, that was in the movie, the Muppet movie. Yeah, that was weird too. Whenever they pull that kind of stuff. First one I remember seeing was that one right there. But the best version of this that doesn't bother me is Kermit, and I was obviously older, but Kermit with his son on his shoulder in the Christmas Carol one. And they have a scene where the street is kind of rolling past, they're walking toward the camera

and somehow they're walking in their mouths are moving and doing full Kermit things but the ground is moving under their feet and the street like the street details are going past them at a slow rate like they created basically a scrolling walk kind of thing. It's really awesome

but for whatever reason Bert doing the pigeon, F that man Eich take that Nicola Tesla Yeah Why don't you turn us to another topic? Look at you and your transitions. I love it. Let's get to it. We got a question about Apple from a guy named Troy M.

I don't know who this Troy is. He's somewhere in our community. And he says this. This is an Apple changes question from him. He says, can you help me make sense of this Apple CEO changeover? Just just ripped from today's headlines, I guess, or last few days. Mainly, how does that company decide who's up next? How come the parkour guy didn't get in? He seemed so upfront and center at all the events. I mean, that was a stuntman. He's talking about Greg Federigi. Yeah, he's talking about Federegi.

Or is he actually talking about the stuntman. He maybe is talking about the stuntman. I don't know. He says, he seems so up front and center of all the events. The hardware guy they chose, is there any significance to that? He's a hardware guy is all I know. Anyway, love to hear his takes, Troy M says. Him is in you.

So how does it work? It isn't like the conclave or, you know, did the smoke come out and everybody? Lunger games. Yeah. Like, how do you pick a new guy? And does Tim Cook even have that much control over this pick? Bondi blue smoke coming out of the chimney. It's chosen to new CEO.

Yeah. It's different every time and different in every corporation. It really depends on the situation within. The board of directors has to be satisfied for a new CEO to be selected. The board of directors of a company is usually. the one that has the say over who the CEO is or is not. When you hear about CEOs being fired, it's because the board of directors fired them.

However, in different situations, the incumbent CEO may be on the board, as is the case with Tim Cook. They may have a lot of influence with the board because they're a major stockholder, which often is the case. And so it really, really changes. I don't have enough firsthand knowledge

of Apple's selection process to tell you in detail. But from the outside looking in, it seems like Tim Cook and the board were all in agreement that they wanted to have a nice, long, slow, stable succession. So they started leaking out little tidbits about Tim Cook leaving more than a year ago. Little rumbles just to get investors used to the idea, get people thinking like, oh, I guess Tim won't last forever. and what they're doing now is saying, okay, John Turnus, you are going to take over a CEO in September. So they're giving us lots of time. We can have a nice big celebratory WWDC, you know, where Tim hands over the baton and says how confident he is, John Turnus is going to do a great job and all this stuff.

And the other thing to remember is that on September 1st, Tim Cook becomes executive chairman of the board. There is currently a non-executive chairman. of the board, who will become an independent director. So he'll stay on the board. But Tim will take over his executive chairman, which means that chairman of the board can do a little more for the company. And what everybody expects is that Tim Cook is going to still go and meet with heads of government and visit China and, you know, push for policies and all that kind of stuff.

And still be that person, probably still be able to help with some supply chain relationships here and there, whereas John Turnus will be running the day-to-day at Apple. Now, as to your question of, like, how does John Turnus get selected? They, you know, that's up to the board and Tim Cook and probably as executives. Tim Cook is famously very collaborative, so he probably asked a lot of people's opinions before he made his recommendation. I'm guessing his recommendation is the one that carried weight with the board, but he'd want the board to, you know, be on board with it as well.

And Turnus has been there for 25 years. He's been there since 2001. He worked his way up under the Steve Jobs administration, became the head of engineering under Tim Cook in 2013. And everybody seems to love him. So I'm guessing they just looked and said, hey, this is a guy who gets things done. He is different than Tim Cook and the way that Tim Cook was different than Steve Jobs. I think in Steve Jobs case, it was very much a,

I'm going to anoint my successor because I'm Steve Jobs and everybody was cool at that. I think with Tim Cook it was more like, you know, I think this is someone we can all agree on. And by all accounts, Ternus is very decisive, where Cook is very collaborative. It doesn't mean he's just going to rule with an eye and fist necessarily. But it's going to be a little more like Steve Jobs than Tim Cook was. So I'm guessing that had a lot to do with it is this is a guy who can get things done. People can work with him.

He'll be fair. He has good ideas. He's decisive. You know, he'll have a different path for Apple. And if you want to get negative about it, a lot of people are still criticizing Apple, even though they're doing great. They are still one of the most valuable companies in the world. They are no longer the most valuable company in the world because they are perceived as being behind with AI.

And so Ternus will now be the guy who has to deal with that. And maybe they feel like he's got a good idea or he's got a good strategy. But it may be like, hey, Tim Cook was not good with this. Let's find somebody who will have a better approach to this. However, what he said out there is all very much, we don't ship technologies, we ship products, which is kind of been Apple's refrain the whole time as a very Steve Jobs way of looking at things. And certainly one of the ways Cook explained why they weren't shipping AI more. So he's not changing his tune in past interviews about that.

Yeah, we'll have to wait for him to take over to see what he actually does. But hopefully that gives you a few breadcrumbs to understand how we got where we are. Yeah, this has been informational. cross the board. There are two things I would ask for. And one would be that at least let Federegi in the next video presentation. Oh, I didn't address that part of it. Let's address the parkour guy. The reason parkour guy didn't get picked a CEO is you don't pick the CEO based on who does good presentations. That is a skill, but it's not the skill. And that's why you actually saw Craig Federigi doing the presentations instead of Tim Cook.

Because Tim Cook was like, yeah, I'm not that great at that stuff. That's not a thing I want to do. He's better at it. So I'm not going to hand it over to other people. Yeah, exactly. So here's all they got to do. Just to satisfy everybody who's got Federigi love or whatever. Have Tim Cook come out somewhere on the campus like they do with the cameras

that they go, okay, it's time to hand off the baton, literally hand a baton to Federigi and then let him parkour that thing across the campus and give it to hardware guy. All the time with his mom jeans pulled up as high as he can pull him up, right? Can you take this to John? Yeah. And then, here's the other thing I'll say in Tim Cook's about his tenure. Yeah. They went from they, he had a 12, I did, I looked this up earlier today, 1,200 percent increase in market cap in his time. It's not to say somebody else couldn't have also done that, but that's a, it's a strong run. he didn't fail. Yeah, it's a strong run by any measure. Like, that's really, he did well. And if you're like,

well, market cap, that's just what the stock market thinks. They went from $350 million a year in revenue when he took over to $4 trillion in revenue in last year. Yeah, that's an insane bit of growth in 15 years. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, nothing to see that numbers right there. Exactly. I take it. Yeah, I would take it. You know what? I'll take a fraction of it. Yeah, exactly. Me too. I'll take. I'll take 5% of your 1 trillion. Anyway, you're not a greedy man. They won't even notice it's gone. They will.

Especially when you sneak in and take it while they're not looking. In fact, it sounds greedy to say 2%. I'll take 1% of your $1 trillion. Totally. So magnanimous. I know. Well, that's how I work. All right.

Tom, this has been great. Troy M. I hope that helps you. If you guys heard this question and went, oh, I got questions that Tom should answer about the tech world. Then you should send those in. This is what I was curious about. So good.

It's good to hear. Just go to frogpants.com and contact us the myriad of ways that there are there to do it. And we'll make sure to pass those on. Tom, anything going on in the DTNS world? Yeah, always. We got great shows coming up. Andy Beach is on the show today talking about how Google is adding advertising into or AI into their advertising plan. Everybody's been worried that AI would undermine advertising. So you get a little inside of what their strategy is there.

We're going to talk about the framework laptop today. which is a really great presentation of a modular laptop, the best I've ever seen and, you know, not crazy expensive. They're calling it a MacBook for the Linux crowd. And it's pretty darn close and incredibly repairable. All of that coming up on Daily Tech News Show at Daily Tech News Show.com or wherever you find your podcast. Yeah, wherever you procure your podcast entertainment, you'll find Tom Merritt there. Tom Merritt, I can't wait to see you in June, although I wish June wasn't so close,

but I can't wait to see you there. I know. It's both too close and too far away. We can't wait for everything else. To giving you a big old hearty handshake and a hug. Yeah. Well, in that order. Or just pull me in.

Yeah, just do them both for once. Oh, yeah, yeah. Do one of those. It's very manly, you know. Pat on the back. Tom Merritt, everybody, watch him as he goes. All right, there he goes. He's also ace to tech on all the socials, everybody, if you want to follow him.

All right. You know, I just want to know is Turner's going to get me my, finally get me my Applevision Nano. That's the one. Oh, that's the one you want? Yeah. You know what? Or whatever they're going to, yes, something small, tight.

Something sub, something sub $1,000. Yeah. You know what? $800. $7.99. Yeah. In today's hardware world with all the prices going up. It made me consider it.

Yeah, I'd consider it. I'd think about it. I'd think real hard. One of the joysticks on my, uh, Meta Quest 2. too is is drifting doing this thing yeah not drifting

well I guess it must be drifting the way it the way it appears on screen is that like in games like exit eight it moves me really quickly to the right you know as I'm oh that probably is a form of drift it's a form of drift

a little short in there so I don't know if I can take it apart and clean it or just maybe hit it with sometimes you can sometimes that drift stuff is like impossible to deal with exactly yeah why like all new cartoons or cartoons controllers that I buy all I will not buy any controllers unless their Hall Effect sticks.

And the Hall Effect technology, if you go look it up, you don't have to go look at it up, but there's not even a risk of drift. Really? It's made in such a way that drift can't even happen. Yeah. So if the new Steam deck doesn't have Hall Effect, I'll eat my shorts. I think they 100% will when that comes out. I know that their controllers that are coming out for the Steambox do. They've already said those will be Hall Effect sticks. If you're buying a new controller, an extra controller from anybody,

do not get them unless they have it. I'm telling you, I'll die on this hill. All right. All right. And I'm mad at Nintendo because the Switch 2 should have Hall of FX sticks and it doesn't. Dirty bastards. Oh. Yeah.

But you can buy third-party controllers for the Switch 2 that do. So there you go. Cool. It looks like I can get a Quest 2 controller replacement for maybe $59.95 on eBay, maybe. Not terrible. Yeah. Oh, what are the refurbished ones on the Metastore cost? 6999.

All right, you know, I'll get one that's, that's just refurbished from meta. 69, they're charging? Yeah. It seems like a lot for one. Just the one or a whole pair? No, just one. Oh, yeah. What are we doing?

Everybody. Like this one, $29. This is a Hall Effect stick that's based, it's kind of on the Genesis six button controller, although obviously it's not the same layout. Yeah. But I love how this feels in my hands. This is what I bought for my Switch 2 to when it's on TV. stuff. Yeah, how much was that?

29 bucks. Half. No, I'm sorry. Less than half, or no, more than what am I trying to say? More than 50% cheaper than the actual Nintendo Pro Controller 2. That's cool. This is a great controller. And it does all the things like you know, Home button turns things on automatically. Oh, that's the only one downside. Nintendo doesn't let any third-party

controllers turn on the switch. I was wondering about that. Yeah, but everything else works. Everything else works great. No issues. Might be, yeah, might need to know, might need to get the deets on that one from you. And these sticks? These are Hall Effect, girl. These are Hall Effect.

All right. Enough of that nonsense. Yeah. Guys, I got an email to read. A couple of them here. Bernie Walter wrote in and better play the stinger. This is about the jugs of pee. Bernie Walter says this in a text.

I worked in IT for almost a decade and our training had a whole chapter on what they called soft skills. That was your ability to communicate effectively and get along with other people. CIS admins notoriously didn't have good soft skills. That's why they stayed in the server rooms for the most part. My job called desk side support required that I had a good rapport with everybody from the CEO down to the mail room. Because everyone can learn how to flip a burger, says Bernie Walter. This is in response to our conversation about in and out, right?

In and out burgers. Yeah, how it can teach anybody to cook. or burger, but you have to walk in and out with a good attitude. Yeah, they have good. They have good soft skills at the thing. And a pretty good soft served ice cream, if you really look at it. Amazing how the two go hand in hand. Although it's a little foamy there.

Oh, really? That's not my favorite thing. I don't need a lot of shakes anymore, but when I get them at in and out, they weren't, they're not the best shakes, but they're, you know, whatever. Still better experience in most places. This is one from Chris on water usage follow-up. He's a little snarky in this. Yes, he is.

Doesn't need to be. I don't know why I chose to be, because I think he actually is just supporting my point, but I'll read it. He says, you have a distorted view of the use of water. He's talking to me directly because I was talking about HOA water. It says your HOA disagrees with you on the use of how your yard uses grass or clover or whatever you want to see based on water use.

Your podcast features so much plastic and the use of plastic and digital printers of plastic items and Brian's latest plastic cute little like sorry, cute thing like a plastic hello kitty pez dispenser or plastic Nintendo game controller or plastic chain mail for medieval London nights. Medieval London nights. Yeah.

Would you believe... He goes on, would you believe the use of water for plastics manufacturing is way worse than the water use on your lawn? It's three to one ratio. A one liter bottle requires three times the size of one of the one liter bottle in water three times. That is a weird way of writing that. That is a weird way of writing that.

Why did you order plastic custom drinking cups not reusable for your nerdtacular event? For your nerdtacular event. Yeah. Is it crazy? Are you out of touch? Come on, man. That was my favorite part is the come on man. Come on, man. It's so biting.

Yeah, very bad. Come on, man. All right. So here's what I would say to this. One liter bottle requires. He's right. Many times the size is one liter bottle of water. Listen.

Come on. Listen, man. Listen, man. I love how we'd like try to bring it back and go, all right, listen. Yeah. It's like. All right. I'm going to tell him.

Joe's going to lay it on you right here. Yeah. Better than whatever the hell we got now. Oh, yeah. But what I'm saying is the, he's right. I looked it up and plastic manufacturing in general, massive water consumption for the process. Like people who complain about how to, or the, um, the, um, almond milk. Oh, oh, oh, oh, gotcha.

Yeah, almond milk is like really expensive because it's like so much water to process. Yeah. And the almond brothers. And the almond brother. Man, they need so much water. The almond brothers. Mostly after the share thing. It really messed them up.

Just all dried out after that. But anyways, he's right. And it's still to my point. That industry, I don't know if he's trying to say it's okay that we're dumping so much water in the ground for no reason. Or if he's saying, like saying something's worse than something else doesn't make the thing still not something we could do better with. And the same thing is true of like, well, we could certainly do better with AI centers. We could definitely do better with HOA water use. And you know what else we could do?

Way better with freaking plastics manufacturers. Like, it's all one big problem is what I'm saying. So it's not one is, because one exists, the other's pointless. That is an argument I can't, I can't with it, son. So anyway, there you go. That's Chris on water. You're not at all wrong. If you guys have any arguments about that, send your emails in and we'll talk about it.

Again, go to frogpans.com slash TMS. You'll find all the ways to contact the show. And let's get that going. Oh, what's this randomize the games for N26? Yeah, so I've been talking with Bobby, and one of the things that Bobby is doing for Nurtacular is that he's making a schedule for all the people who are participating, who have to be on panels of things

so that they know, oh, I need to be here at 8 o'clock, I need to be here at 2.15 for this panel because I'm on it. Because, you know, we've had people in previous Nurtaculars who didn't show up to the panel because they didn't know they were on it. Yep. Definitely has happened before. One of them didn't because, let's say, they were incapacitated for the moment.

Uh-huh. And that's all I'll say about that. And they don't need to say any names on that one. And it wasn't me, folks. No, no, no, it wasn't Brian. Exactly. It wasn't Brian. I know it sounds like.

No, no, no. Brian on time, every time, all the time. Every time, all the time. Exactly. We will not name the person we're talking about. Anyway, go ahead. So we've got two games. two opening games of FrigPants All-Stars.

And Bobby wants us, wants to know, like, all right, who's going to be in game one? Which two teams are going to be in game one? Which two teams are going to be in game two? So here's what I'm going to do. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to take this TMS coin, heads, tails, heads is the side with our heads on it. Yeah. Look at that.

And I'm going to let you call it in the air. You're going to choose whether you want to be in game one or game two. And then we're going to do the same thing with one other team. And we're going to figure out who in the chat room can call it in the air. I don't know if there's another player. Maybe there's not. I'm scrolling through the list. I don't know.

Yeah, I don't see any. Oh, there we go. Bobby's there. He can call it in the air for his team. Can I say your team name, Bobby? Can I? Well, we'll get to, let's get to Scott first. All right.

All right. So Scott, call it in the air. All right. You're going to get to choose game one or came. Two. All right. Toss it. Heads.

It is tails. Okay. What does that mean? I guess you don't get to. That's a really good question. That was awesome. Yeah. Maybe I should have said if it's heads, you'll be in game one.

If it's tails, you'll be in game two. I love that. There's really no calling you in the air. Okay. We're going to flip it again. All right. Heads, you're in game one, tails you're in game two. All right.

Fair. And then we're going to do the same thing with Bobby. Yeah, this wasn't thought through. Thankfully, the trivia game won't be as well. No. Here we go. Heads game one, tails game two. Heads, you are in game number one.

Okay. So you guys see the heads? I saw it. Heads. We are in game number one. All right. So, Scott, who will you be playing? Will you be playing against Masters of Nunn, which is the team with Redfragel, Tom Merritt,

Bill Derr and Jerry Tolbert? Or will you be playing against Beartacular with Bobby, TV's Travis, Randy, Deluxe, Brian Dunway? Or will you be playing? against the team whose name we don't know yet because Carter hasn't joined the chat. Nudge Carter. Oh yeah, I'll bugger today. Yeah, getting the Discord group

with Scott Fletcher, Hem and Chamberlain, Wicked Kitten, and Carter. All right. So Bobby, heads, you're playing against Scott in game one. Tails, you're playing against a team in team game two. And I guess that's still, if it comes up, tails, we still have to do this a third time

to see which of those other two games. Right, it goes on. after that, right? Yeah, really thought this would be decided by two flips. That's all right. It may not. This is like a beta test of a whole other game that we're doing right here. So if it's heads, this is all easy.

Play against Bobby's team. All right. Flipping it. It is, thankfully, heads. Yeah. So you are playing against Bobby's team in round one. TV's Travis, Randy Lex, Brian Dunaway, Bobby Frankenberger.

And then Scott team will be playing Amy's team in game two. And if I remember right, we are currently deciding on our name, our team, but we have all three core hosts in it. I know. So we're thinking right now I really like core. Sorry, where was it? Oh, I like obsessive corpulsive is fun.

And John suggested last night, cerebral cortex. I kind of like that one. I like that because it's, you know, mind with Wendy. Yeah. I think that might be it. But we'll see how this all play. Yeah, we'll see how it goes. So there we go.

Bobby, you now know game one and game two. I see? Look, you guys. We're getting things done. Progress is what we call this. That's right. All right. We are rotten to the core is pretty good.

A stigma. I like that. That's going to do it for today's show. There is a play retro and watch retro tonight. 4 p.m. is when that starts. I'm a little bum that my wife gets home right then and I'll be busy working. But I'll get to see her after that. Then also there is something.

else. What was it? There's something tomorrow. Shit. I don't remember. Well, Corrin, all that. Oh, I know. I was just going to say, Wendy will be here tomorrow. That's what I was going to say. Yeah. Normal Thursday stuff, you know. So be back here for that. You a bunch of freaking freaks. Exactly. Is this weekend? It's not play date, is it? Play date is Friday. Oh, I'm so excited. Yeah. Do we have something new? Is there something? I heard a rumor that the, the, the new, what do you call it? Jackbox. Yeah, but the, it's the single game they've Oh.

Haunted. Murder mystery. Murder mystery. Yeah. Yeah. I heard a rumor, but I haven't looked it up to verify nothing.

Oh, I hope so. That'd be great. Yeah. But we got a lot of stuff we've still never even played in all those packages. So we just got to just have some fun. So come for that Friday.

That'll be 9 a.m. A couple hours of playing with the community and lots of stuff this weekend. So anyway, more on that tomorrow. Brian, let's play a song and get out of here. Yeah, we're going to an indie in the middle today. I take that back. We are going to,

Well, I mean, it's indie. It's very indie. It's, uh, hold on a sec. I'm trying to remember, I'm trying to look and make sure that I've got the right thing. Yep, this is super indie. This is, um, described as experimental glitch folk. I've never heard the term glitch folk. Weird. Me neither. But, uh, but it's really good. Mego is her name, M-E-G-G-O.
