Gail's not so bad. You can Mike's angry in the Turlet. The morning stream. The whole damn shelf is breaking off. Hello, everybody, and welcome to TMS. This is the morning stream for Tuesday, May 5th. That would be the year 2026. And this is episode 3,003, which I like because it's like a little number sandwich.

Yeah, it's a little palindrome. We love the palindromes almost as much as the, the all, you know, the thousands and the 500s and stuff like that. Yeah. And we got a 5-5. So depending on how you write the date, no, it's always going to be 5-5, right? Yeah, yeah. There's no sandwich there.

Whether you put the day first or the day, the month first, it's still going to be 5-5. I think we should start going May 2006-0-5. That should be the new format for all dates. Going forward. You already here first. So you do month, year, and then day? Month, year and day. month, year and day, or more interesting, day year month.

No, probably shouldn't do any of that. Yeah, probably not. Yeah, don't do that. Don't do that. I feel like there'd be some, yeah. Yeah, keep month and day together. I really like the way Europeans do it with the day, the month, and then the year. Yeah, I like that too.

The Canadians. Yeah, but when I'm doing a file name, it's always year month day, just like the Wraith. The Wraith puts it in there. Yeah. And we do that on our tabs down here, I think. Oh yeah, there it is. Yep. Yeah.

We're not going to change it today. Today's not that day. No, no, today's not the day. We will look for other things to change today and our ways to put our mark on the world, but that won't be it. Today is the day I'd like to increase my intake of Mexican food.

I'd like to do that today. Because it's Cinco de Mayo, and I hope everyone enjoys their Cinco de Mayo and has like plans and fun ideas and cool stuff. I don't really have that much planned. We're just going to try to cook. Now, although, you know, we do have leftover butter chicken for lunch.

I could save that for tomorrow and go out and get some QDoba because I have a free, I have a free entree from QDoba that I should probably take advantage of. Yes, that sounds like a perfect plan because the other stuff will keep. Yeah. Yeah, it'll keep it. It'll keep a day. All right. I'm going to do that.

Sorry, Tina, ain't eating butter chicken with you. Yeah. You'd be amazed what I can make keep for a couple of weeks in the fridge. I've heard about your, your chicken adventures. Yeah, the worst one. The chicken was okay. The worst one was that hot dog or the sausage. thing that was in the freezer and it was covered in ice and, you know, had frost burn or

freezer burn, I guess. Reader burn, yeah. Microwaved it, ate it, had the worst stomach ache for a day. Everything was fine after that. Let's just say I didn't eat the rest. I threw the rest away. That's what I did. Yeah. Yeah. I was desperate. It was desperate times. Yeah, they called for desperate measures. That's what they say. I'd like to make a recommendation. I would like people to hear last night's Monday show because The Monday show featured both the Johnson daughters,

had both Carter and Taylor there. And we played this game, or Taylor played this game toward the end of the show, where it's like one of those Jimmy Fallon things where you put on headphones and you can't hear what the person is saying. You have to try to read lips. Yeah, normally the trick is you're supposed to repeat back what they say. But in this case, she's asking us a question,

and we have to decipher the question and then give an answer. Yeah. And it was ridiculous. I'll play you one example. This was probably my favorite of last night. Here you go. What is the manliest thing about you? Baltimore.

Now, what was the question you thought she was asking? Here's where it gets embarrassing. So I thought she said something about and hear me out because this is going to, you're going to immediately hear this and go, oh, that's wrong. Okay. Of course it is. Yeah, I'm curious. But I thought she said something about.

What's a big city in Maine? And I say Baltimore, which is fully incorrect, because that's Maryland, not Maine. Right, yeah. And I heard it, and I heard it so wrong. It was just freaking ridiculous. So it just sounded like the most awful,

all, dumb thing to answer anybody ever. Out of context, if they don't know that we're playing that game, I sound like a crazy person. Right. I wanted also, the one you said mustard to, which was what? You put a pickle in your mouth.

What color do you want it to be? Oh, yeah. What color would you like it to be? And I said mustard. I'm curious about the, again, another like, all right, what question did you think she was asking? It was something like, I thought it was, that one I don't remember as well, but it was something like, what other, like stuff that goes on a hot dog, because I got pickle. Uh-huh.

And like, what's another thing you want with your pickle or something like that? And I said mustard. Totally wrong, obviously. the closest we got was a shoe thing what was that one oh yeah something on your feet and you said high tops or something what's what do you like best about your feet and you said high tops yeah and i don't remember what it was something like what are what are i don't remember it's weird though how reading lips like if you if things were really at stake in your life and you had to do this to survive yeah he'd be effed man yeah you

I'm sure obviously you get better and better at it, but just in your talking, I was just trying to look at your lips and see if I could figure out what you were saying if I couldn't hear it. And no, I don't think I could. It's really hard. People who can do that and do it really well, I think that's a rad skill to have.

Yeah, for sure. There's this girl on TikTok I follow who, there'll be like some sort of famous interaction on camera at a Golden Globes or an Oscars or somewhere. Met Gallo, one of them she did yesterday. And it's just celebrity saying something to each other, but they're kind of leaning into each other and not, you know,

it's not like it's a public thing they're saying. They're saying it out loud, but you can't hear them. So this person is really good at telling what people's, you know, reading their lips and will just say everything they're saying. And it's crazy. And it's,

it seems to be dead accurate. I can't confirm it, but it's like, what did Timothy Shalamee lean over and tell Beyonce? And it was like, I really like your hair or something like that. You know what I mean? Can they do that with the end?

of lost in translation with Bill Murray leaning over and saying something of Scarlet Johansson could they give us that one? Oh, right? Because we don't still a mystery, right? It's like the... It's still mystery. I don't even think either one, neither one of them have come out and said. I wonder if she's told Colin Jost what Bill Murray said. One night, they're laying there in bed trying to fall asleep. Uh-huh.

And she's like, Colin, yes, dear. Here's what I said in that scene. Right, exactly. Yeah. I assume he sleeps with his mouth in a smile position, by the way. A sneer. It's probably more of a sneer. Yeah, like a sneer. Yeah, but it's like clown face almost.

You know? Right. I just picture it. I'm sure he's much more attractive than that at night in bed. But, you know, whatever. Also, I can't get this out of my head. I was poking around Reddit for something, usually just digging around for stories for a news segment, that kind of thing.

And I found this interesting fact. that I just think is crazy to me that people would work around this. This is amazing. I found these facts about microwaves. Actually, the whole thing was about cooking facts. Like the first time a, I don't know, a cast iron stove or, you know, all this sort of thing.

And it was the first microwave was invented by accident when a radar engineer noticed a candy bar in his pocket had melted while he was standing near a vacuum tube called a magnetron. And then here's a little side note that included in 19. The first commercial model was called the Radar Range. Radar Range. Oh, I thought it was Radar Range.

It's not Radar Range. I remember hearing it on the prices right called the Radar Range. The new Westinghouse Radar Range. And this should have dashes in it if it's raderangue. But I really like Radarange. Because rads, right? That's too much fallout in my life, I think. But I mean, you know, I totally see why you went there.

microwave, nuclear rads. Sure. Yeah. I'd like to think that you know, that's as creative as we got back there. Can you imagine working in a place where Right. I'm standing next to a thing and the food I have with me is melting or popping or cooking? Right. This bag of popcorn I had in my pocket just started popping.

Maybe not a safe place to work. No. I would quit. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if anything bad happened to those people, but, you know, it started to make me... I'm sure. I have a better understanding of my... But they were both focused on the asbestos that they were breathing, probably in that building. I have a cousin who refuses to own a microwave.

She's really hardcore about it. And I don't know, reading this made me go, I kind of get it now. No, no. No, she's okay with like electronic, everything else, like phones, all that stuff. She didn't care about that. She's worried. She's convinced that microwaves are going to give everybody in the house cancer. and this story made me go

I mean at least at least then back then sure with the limited shielding and stuff yeah I don't think they had much between the waves and the person I think the thing you got to worry about now is your non-stick

coating on your pants just make sure that is that's not flaking off because that's like some horrendous stuff Oh, I didn't know that. Is that a thing? Yeah. Yeah.

Whatever, what's that stuff called? Oh, my God. I can't believe I can't remember the name. But what's the nonstick coating on a... Oh, I know this. It's called Teflon. Teflon. Teflon...

Right? Yeah, exactly. Jeannie confirms. It's lethal. If you have old ones, throw them out. Like, if you've got a scratch in your Teflon pan, you've instantly got to worry about little microbes of Teflon getting in your food. And it's super toxic if you do, I guess.

toxic, super duper toxic. I don't know if we have any Teflon pans. I don't think we do. Good. But I know my mom did. You know? Yeah. Who knows how many freaking mac and cheeses I had as a kid?

They were served at a Teflon pan. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like that's all they had then. But I didn't know that. That must. So is that an outlawed thing now? You can't make your pans like that anymore?

No. No. No, they still make it. Just got to. That seems crazy. They probably have to put, they put warning labels and stuff on it that, right, that say, you know, if you're Teflon, pan flakes, get rid of it immediately. Probably do some sort of like lifetime guarantees to protect themselves.

I don't know why. I just feel like that should be, that should be like asbestos. I like how everybody like confirms this. Yeah, it's DuPont and Teflon and it's totally fatal and blah, blah, blah. And then the boy who cry woof says, nonsense, Brian. Nonsense. I mean, is it nonsense? it not not now now we have a dissenter show your work what's his name uh the boy who cried

who hey quick crying wolf and tell us your sources or something well bobby frank says it's confusing and slightly overblown well that sounds like a more moderate take on it sure that certainly does that sounds like you know someone with a little bit more uh scientific mind measured response then nonsense brian yeah do you know what inert is have you never heard of an art um yeah well i'm gonna think twice about what pans I get out of anyway. Yeah. All right. And I'm trying to, you know, we're trying to limit the microplastics and the what-nots, you know.

That's right. Nobody need no. Yeah, be careful with that. Yeah, watch out for the microplastics, you guys. It sucks. Let's get to the news. I mean, speaking of news, we've got to cover this news. This is important stuff today. And let's cover that. Here we go right here. Right here. It's the news, and it's brought to you by.

Brought to you by Daily Music Headlines. Listen, we were just talking about pans and Teflon. one of the things that go in there that goes in there sometimes is Chrisco which is the name of Miranda Lambert's new song it's a dedication to oh shoot who was it

her mother's cooking her mother's cooking no is the commercials that Loretta Lynn used to do for for Crisco Yes which is again an odd thing an odd choice to do country music

tributes to is Loretta Lynn's Crisco commercials. But anyway, um, you think it'd be like coal miner's daughter or something like that or whatever.

Right, exactly. Yeah, find out about that or Richie Sanborra's stolen guitar, which finally got found 40 years later

in a vintage shop and all that stuff over there at Daily Music Headlines. What's that thing worth that guitar? Do you know? Oh, I don't know.

That's a good question. We didn't, gotta be like massive uptick. For sure, because it's got like a handmade inlay. and stuff like that. It's been customized quite a bit.

Yeah. Wild. And he was 17. Oh, no, wait. Who'd you say? Buddy Holly? Who'd you say? Who died?

Whose guitar is it? Richie Sanborra. Oh, Richie Sanborra. Yes, Richie Sanborra. I was thinking to Richie Valins. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. That's why I was thinking he was 17 or whatever. Although here's the thing. He was a teenager when he died in that accident or in that plane crash. If you look at Buddy Holly, yeah. Yeah. Well, Richie. Or I'm sorry, Richie Valenz.

Yes. If you look at photos of him from the time when he's 17, 16, 17, he looks 55. He does. He does look like he's at least in his mid-20s, early 30s, maybe, yeah, for sure. I don't understand that. Yeah. Like, some people just have this thing where they just look old. A lot of it is that hairstyle because those people with those hairstyles kept him for a long time,

and we associated him with older people because they maintain those, those hairstyles. Yeah, I guess so. If he had like a mop top or he wore the current like a llama haircut that high school boys seem to have right now, I hate that hair cut. The broccoli. That broccoli cut, that's freaking sucks. Yeah. Like one of Wendy's kids had it and she wasn't happy about that.

Don't hold with it, bud. She doesn't hold with it. Here's your story, your first story. A hot air balloon with 13 aboard makes an emergency landing in a California back. Man, how would it be to be the guy whose backyard had a giant balloon land in it? That'd be fun. Oh, my gosh. That would be fun.

Sort of the opposite of up, up and away, I guess. Yeah, down, down and around. I mean, if it was, you know, didn't wreck anything, didn't break any, any lawn furniture or anything? Well, according to this, this enormous balloon with a pilot and passengers in a basket. Because that's what they have to get the basket there, you know. Yeah, right. Descended perfectly Saturday into a small. small pot of grass at a home and Tomencula.

Love that name. Yeah. Sounds like a... Temecula. Like a Godzilla. It sounds right. Exactly. Like a giant Japanese spider.

Ah, Temecula's coming! It's the spider kaiju. Yes. Tomecular! I wasn't racist, everybody. I wasn't even doing an accent. It wasn't even an accent at a tie. It was just a regular guy yelling.

All right? Anyway, Hunter Perrin, this is that dude. He had no idea. He had visitors until the neighbor alerted him. I was watching TV with my wife and doing yoga. Oh, no, his wife was doing yoga. She wasn't watching TV. He told the Associated Press, there was a man standing in my front door saying,

They just landed. He said, what? I was very confused. They just landed. They made it. They're here. They're into my God. But there they were, a group of anxious people suddenly relieved to be on solid ground.

Parents' grassy backyard patch is only about 10 feet by 3 meters. wide. That's wild. They landed on that. Wow. And an unbelievable like something out of a fairy tale says this Jenna Perrin lady the balloon didn't hit our house or our trees. It just it was kissing the fence

she says. Okay. That was a euphemism when I was in high school. Kissing the fence. Kissing the fence. Yeah, sure. Would you guys do this weekend? We went out. Did you kiss the fence? And I don't even know what it means. It sounds like a teenage birth control.

Well, you know, would you do this weekend? Well, you know, kiss the fence, but didn't go through it. Yeah, didn't go through the fence. Kiss the fence and soaked. We did some soaking. Right. And what's the other one I heard recently? There was another one like that.

I can't remember these BYU things. Anyway, Beriana Alvaros and her family and her husband were riding in the balloon to celebrate their 10th anniversary. She's had the pilot informed passengers she needed to make an emergency landing because, of low fuel and a shift in the winds. Wait, low fuel. Oh, yeah, because the... Right, right. It shoots the flames up and there. It heats up the air. Which makes me wonder, okay, so they land in the backyard, especially in this little 10 feet wide backyard patch.

But at this point, the balloon is up. They're not going to go back up with its high winds, right? So they've got to lower that balloon, which all of a sudden is a much bigger prospect than just the basket. Oh, yeah, half your neighborhood. Half the cul-de-sack is screwed. It's going to be covered by this thing. Yeah, that's a nightmare. I don't know what you did.

They don't get into that part, but. No. Let's see, Crescent Moon, spectacle, something, something. It was amazing pilot. Yeah, they don't get into it. I've seen, you know, I've seen the Albert Kirkkey balloon festival. And when those things deflate, it's not like they, they, you know, do it slowly and kind of bunch it all up into a duffel bag. It's like, rolloon.

Yeah. No, they're crazy. We used to go to the one up at Park City. I'll let me say something about that, too, because as you, as you know, know seeing the Albuquerque one, it is an amazing thing. It's like, it's gorgeous. Holy shit. Look at all these balloons. The only thing would be crazier is if you were in one of them and seeing it from that angle. It's just wild and you can't wait to tell people. But I had to get up so damn early to see this.

Right, because they have to do it first thing in the morning when temperatures are right and what's the deal? Is it because of rising, Temple like There's something with yeah something with that atmospheric changes in the morning versus later or whatever Yeah Just more conducive to

Maybe less winds Less wind and stuff Thermals is bio cow or questions Yeah not totally sure When we do The MS 150 Because we leave We start riding at 630 and we go up shared

And straight up north And we come up over this crest That kind of overlooks the northern front range and um every every saturday of the thing or almost every Saturday if the conditions are right there's like a half a dozen balloons that you come up and you see and it's like one of the first one of the first ah moments of the ride yeah it's some nice downhills that also give you that but um we'll have to see if they have them in logan Utah not sure I'll bet they do yeah tiny dot CC slash bike coverville if you want to support

the ride folks get in there get in there it's fundraising weeks. I'm going to talk about it. Yep. Got to kick MS in the ass and we don't mean Microsoft, all right? That's right. Although I'd love to kick them in the ass too, by the way. Well, who wouldn't be the version 11 ass? Would you go up in a hot air balloon? Is that something you're comfortable with? Well, like it. So where I was headed with that was that when I got done with that balloon watching, I said, well, I never need to do that again because I've seen the amazingness of it.

I don't need to get up that early to watch. bunch of balloons again. Sure. But if the prospect is me in one of those balloons, I do think I would do it one, well, it depends on what they'd tell me. If they said, all right, you get in here, you go over the mountain or that ridge or whatever, and then you land on the other side or something. If I have the parameters of where we're going and know the timing of it, I think I would to be able to do it once. I don't think I would be very, like I'd be pretty freaked. I'm not good with heights, like terrible with heights. But I would feel, I think I would feel good to say, yeah, I want to do that one.

I want to get that. That's a bucket list item. I would do that once, take tons of pictures, you know, face my fear, get up there and do it. But if it's just like, well, we take off at one in the morning or whatever, whenever you leave. And if they say, and we don't know where we're going, we get up there hours. Depends. When they do the festival, it's just kind of up and, you know, maybe around the field and then down. kind of thing. Yeah, I don't think you go very far.

So in that case, I would totally do it. I'd do it at least once. Yeah, I would too. I don't think Tina would. I think the basket, the hotter balloon basket would give her kind of the same things about same feelings that she has about Ferris wheel baskets

or gondolas. That it's just too much rocking that bothers her and she's afraid it's going to kind of go and dump everybody out. I'm with Tina, man. I don't, I usually this is a real problem for me. How does she do like Ferris wheel. Like Ferris wheel's an art. She doesn't do it at all.

So she won't even do the, the high roller, the slow, the slow high roller thing. Even though it's, even though it takes 30 minutes to go fully around that thing, that it's not going high speed and it doesn't rock because they're all fixed in place. She wouldn't do that. She won't do the London eye. I wondered why she was down on the ground with us. Yeah.

Yeah. I didn't know. We shared. You know what? Tina and I have a thing. We didn't know we had, we had this thing that we shared. Here's what it is for her. her brother really screwed her up.

So they went to the amusement park here, Eelich's, which has the Ferris wheel at the time. It had the Ferris wheel with, it's kind of like a seat with a bar that comes across, but it's open on top and kind of open in the front, probably a seat belt. I assume at the time there was still a harness. But he would rock that thing back and forth

as much as he could to get her screaming. Oh, man. And she can't do it. even when they changed it to like a, again, like more of a circular basket with kind of an umbrella thing over it and go around all slow and everything. No, she won't do it. She won't do any Ferris wheels.

I'm with her. It's a bummer because I'd love to get her on the London Eye if we go back out there. But I guess I'm going to be doing that one solo. Yeah, I don't, I wish it wasn't this way with me because I love the idea of being up somewhere high. Sure. Like, you know, every kid wants to fly or something.

You wouldn't have an issue going into like the space needle or something like that. No, I usually when it's like, if you're asking me to get up on the, you know, they have the glass at the tip of those things and you go like look over. I ain't doing that shit. Yeah, you're not going for that. I don't believe you. But I'll go up there, you know, and I'll be on the top in those restaurants or whatever. That's fine.

It's only when now if I can feel the place moving because some of those things have natural, like they're meant to sway in the wind because they're so tall. like the twin towers were like this they were the structurally they at the highest point they would literally move a little because rigidity meant that's a problem if you're rigid

so when it pick up you need a little bit of give if I can't feel it though I'm fine if I feel it and I'm in one of those tall buildings get me the F down as soon as you can get me down get me down dude my daughter Carter on the other hand not afraid of heights at all. We go to Hoover Dam and she's like leaning way over and doing all this

stuff and I'm just back there going, uh, I just can't do it. I don't know what my problem is. I turn into a jellyfish. It's awful. I didn't used to have a fear of heights and I don't really consider it a fear of heights, but there's a like when I did that swinging basket ride at Glenwood Springs a few years ago, it's one where you're in your own swing and it's connected by four chains to the top and you've got a bar that comes down. So basically you're just in like what feels like a high chair. And it just goes around and then kind of, yeah, and then maybe it tilts a little bit and you're kind of swooping around. And it goes, the one in Glenwood Springs goes over the canyon. So it is a severe drop. Like, like, there is no, there is no, well, I might have a bunch of

broken bones. No, you'll be, you're going to be paste. Yeah, you're going to be paste and the animals are going to be stoked that you're exactly yes you're going to be a delicious drink for the animals down at the bottom um

hey you guys there's some human paste on these rocks have you tried have you tried the human smoothie yeah gross uh yeah

that's uh that started to affect me near the end of the ride I'm like okay I think I might be maybe it's just the going around was making me woozy but it was an unpleasant

experience near the end yeah I think probably everybody's got a version of a limit like that There are other people who are like, I'm jumping off everything and I'm wearing a gilly suit. It's called squirrel suit.

Oh, the flying squirrel suit with the wings. Those people, yeah, yeah. They were made in a different factory than I was. Here's what freaks me out about that. It doesn't feel like you get a chance to try those before you have to be high enough to die from it. Yeah.

Like there's, maybe I don't know if you could go to one of those skydiving places where they shoot wind up straight and you can put one of those flying squirrel suits and go that might be where they train i don't even know i don't know because it doesn't feel like there's enough room to move around you're just kind of in one place yeah you're in a tube usually i don't know what you do do you have a tether of some sort or something like that yeah it feels like it feels like yep our parachutes here's how we've been to test them yeah also what at what point that's the other thing I worry about those people and they're all going to die early because they, there's no, they don't have a limit.

There's no line. So they get to that line and they go, oh, that was exhilarating and awesome. What's the next extreme? Right. And the next one. Eventually the extreme is the paste we talked about on a rock somewhere. Exactly. Yes.

I ain't doing that. F that. Nope. I like watching it though. You find out just how much of our body is made out of water. Yeah. Which is unfortunately nearly all of it. Nearly all of it.

All right. We're going to take a, We're going to take a turn. Let's take a turn. A turn for the better. A dark, dark turn. No, it's not dark. I can't say that.

We're going to take a turn directly into the maker space. And to do that, we have to push this button here. There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill? Hey, look who it is. It's our old pal Bill Duran. He is over there in the Pacific Northwest, holding down the fort at Punishpropes.com. What's going on, man? Good morning.

Good morning. I feel like it's been longer for you than, you. usual, but it's only been three weeks. I don't know why it feels longer, but we've missed you, you know. Oh, I know why. Because I had a question for you, and I was going to ask you this days ago, and I just kept forgetting to do it. I keep seeing you in Winrose. I've been playing it as well. Oh, yeah. Well, I want to know what you think of that, that their pirate game. It's fun, right? Yeah, well, it's, I mean, it's early access as hell, but, you know. Sure. It's pretty polished, though. I, I love pirates and I love some rovercrafting games. So,

It's like chocolate and peanut butter for me. Let me know if you want to if you want a pirate together. Yeah. Hell yeah. I definitely haven't. I haven't done anything that yet. It's all been solo up to this point. Yeah, me too.

The game, what I love about that game is it's not trying to be. It's a game as well as it is kind of an open world sandbox. In other words, like I do feel like there's a point to everything. I'm not just, well, should I hit some trees and make some wood and then what? Like there's those aspects. there, but it's all in service of being a pirate yard. It is. It is. And it's, the arts great

and the boats are cool. I'm currently collecting things to make a much bigger boat. Yeah, dude. Eventually, you can build like these pirate coves, like homes, on islands that are literally, Brian, like, like multi-

trying to imagine what, we're trying to point to what you could look at that would remind you of this. But just think of the most complex bunch of wood and ladders and rope, rope swings and just stuff. Like a pirate fortress. Yeah.

Really? Okay. And you can build it all by hands. Crazy. Yeah. That's cool. Wind Rose. Check it out.

Available now on Steam. Anyway, Bill, let's get to things that are more appropriate for having you on, which is the MakerSpace. What do you make in these days? What's going on?

I got a big project. I'm not going to talk about it, but I got a big project that's almost done. So look forward to that very soon. Oh, cool. Is this going to blow our minds? That's all you can tell us about it, though. Yeah, I don't want to ruin the surprise.

But I'm working with a 3D printing company, and we're doing a big, big fun thing. Lots of 3D printing. Exciting. Cool. Can't wait to hear. Yeah. But I want to talk about Nurtacular, which is in a month. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Which we haven't done in like 10 years. Yeah. It's been, let's see, 27, nine years it'll be. Yep. Weird. So we're planning on driving from Seattle. We've done this before.

who've driven to Salt Lake a few times. Yeah. Mostly so I can bring a ton of cool stuff to show off. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's how it should be. That's what we want. It's like the difference between going to Emerald City Comic Con and DragonCon.

Like you get to bring a lot more stuff. I have so much more stuff. Whatever I can fit in the back of my mini. Yeah. Which will include Bender in his little car. Yeah. Go around. Yeah.

Love it. Probably my proton pack and actually probably all my Ghostbuster toys. That's good So look forward to that Of course we're going to bring back our cosplay showcase For all the attendees And I want to be clear it's not a contest We're not competing though I've already heard that the

Spag kids are going to bring their A game Yeah that's what I hear I am excited about that You got to bring back the letterman phrase This is not a competition as only an exhibition Yeah that's right This is the stupid pet tricks Really, like my goal with all of everything I do is to get people to participate, to get somebody to make something to wear it and to show it off.

And this is an opportunity to show it off, some sort of wearable art. So what counts? Nearly any wearable art, even if it's just part of a costume, like a hat or a mask. And we really want to showcase people's creativity and craftsmanship. But if you also want to purchase a costume to wear, that's fine too. We really want people wearing fun, neat stuff. And then to show it off. We want people to play dress-up.

I want to play dress-up with everyone else. That's really the goal. So if you're coming, oh, and also, here's another fun idea. If you're coming with a group or if you're going to meet some of your other friends there, consider doing a group costume. This is one of the most fun things. We do this at DragonCom with our friends all the time. like we did all the we did a bunch of orange jumpsuit

TGRI scientists for ninja turtles too for example you could do something like that sure sure you could do all the ninja turtles if you're even more ambitious yeah are you feeling a little saucy go for the whole yeah yeah or if you want to join me then all you got to do is buy a flight suit put a ghostbuster name on it near a ghostbuster like there's a lot of low-hanging fruit a lot of fun group type stuff you could do together with you and your friends So start coordinating now.

You have a month to make something to where to show up. Yeah, do it. I'm trying to, somewhere here I've got some footage of you running said. Yeah, you're in your, like it was the. Oh, there's Bill arriving on the TMS. Look at, watch this. That's, there we go. Hold on.

Here he is. Look at you arriving on the TMS stage. There he is. There's the band. That's awesome. This is an old 2014 video because, look, oh, there was the dragger, though. Because Tom looks like he's about five. No kidding. Yeah.

And I look like I weighed about 14 pounds. So. Look at a thin wig. Look at Brian in my hair. Yeah, dude. It's freaking hat hair. Oh, my gosh. I love it.

Anyway, oh, there it is. There's some cosplay dancing. Look at everybody. Excellent. Oh, my gosh. Look at Mizzula with no beard. No beard. Wow.

Anyway. He's a little for his costume, didn't he? Yeah, he did. He totally did. And we'll never forget it. No. Yeah. It's going to be, it's one of my favorite things we used to do because it's just the creativity

coming off some of these people. It's just like always a shock. It's amazing, yeah. Like, people we never knew were like incredibly talented seamstresses or 3D modelers or whatever coming out of these amazing things. And it's all, you know,

a lot of it is attributed to your influence and your suggestions, the things you come up with. Foam mats. Who in the world would have thought foam mats would be such a high prize for Cosby? Yeah, right?

Until we got to the punish props. And that was. was, um, originally it was David carpenter from, from evil effects making mass effect armor out of floor mats because they had the right texture. Right. Yeah. That's, it's literally how that started. Yeah. Yeah. But now you are full blown foam smith. Oh yeah. I got the website and everything. Yeah. Yep. Yep. I'm wearing my foam smith t-shirt right now. Look me. Good. We have to just imagine. We have to imagine it. But I can imagine it. Yes, yes. Truly. No pants, though, is what I'm seeing. So I got a problem. No pants. That's true. Uh, is there anything, any advice you?

you would give ahead of all of this for anyone thinking about doing this that you would that you would just want them to know before coming in like a way to either loosen them up and get them willing to do it at all or any tips or tricks from builder in the the bar is really low this is about having fun with your friends so uh participating is is the highest goal if you're picking don't pick something too ambitious pick something you can finish in the next month. Or give yourself a smaller project so you make sure you get it done in time so you can play along. It's really, again, about participating. And the showcase is later in the day. It's going to be, I think, at 8.30 p.m. on Friday.

So we're going to have our costumes on all day. You know, pick something you can wear most of the day. Good point. I'm sure we'll have a chance to change and take breaks and everything. Sure, sure. we're going to have fun playing dress up all day. Yeah. And that's what it's about.

That's right. Bring out your inner child. I remember one year and I was always blown away by this. So here's a good example of just sometimes not going to take that much work. You just happen to really look like somebody famous. Jim Jensen shows up one year. Oh, that's fantastic. And I went, is George R. Martin literally in the building?

It was the best. Yeah, exactly. play to your strengths. You're not going to see me doing a Val Kilmer Iceman cosplay, but you might see me as Professor X or Lex Luthor or Lobot.

Yeah, take advantage. Oh, I'd love to see you in a Lobot thing with the thing around your head. That would be the easiest thing, right? To 3D print, I could actually just even have music going all the time and not even listen to. I don't think it let you talk though. You have to weren't those guys kind of mute? They were sort of like this. He was totally, totally mute. Yes.

Yeah, well, you'll just have to take it off for All-Stars. He just nodded and then walked away. Exactly. But you guys are, yeah, those of you who are cosplaying who are all-stars players, you're going to be in costume,

probably, right? Before, while you're playing. Wear them while you play, why not? Yeah. Gives you an advantage, I think.

I'm making that up. I'll figure out which costume I want to wear for each day. Yeah. I'm going to bring several. I'm so excited. And you can, here's the thing,

the Friday is the cosplay contest. You can wear a costume every single day, though. Mm-hmm. No, there's nothing holding you back. Exactly. And Friday,

probably will be. Friday's cool, Because if you really want critical roles on Liam O'Brien to see you in your full regalia, Friday's the day. Oh, if anyone shows, if anyone shows up in a critical role group costume, you will be his favorite costume. Oh, my gosh. Oh, wow. He'll lose his mind. He's so excited to see that stuff.

And I know there's going to be some of that. So get your Mighty Nines going or whatever, you know, whatever you like the most, your ex-Machian. Or was the other one? Mighty Nine. And what's the other one? Something. Ah, shit. I forgot the name of their first campaign.

pain. I'm bad that way. Anyway, I'm going to show up dressed as Illen. All right. Illen's Storm Rage. Do it. I'm not. I'm not. Don't ever, and no one hold me that. Just everyone yell at Liam. I am my scars constantly and see how we're going to do that. Yeah, just say exactly.

Well, that's fantastic, Bill. I can't wait. See you there. You've always been a fixture at these things and, you know, having you there's a pleasant, always a pleasant experience. And your wife's awesome. I can't wait to see you guys. Anything else going on you want to mention or point people to before we let you go. There'll be a, during the day,

we'll have all day to do it, we'll have a sign up, I will probably be doing it. It's just to get your name and the name of your costume so that we have a list to read when you come out on stage. And also,

so I pronounce it correctly. Look at this. I just happened to pause. Oh, that's the things we were talking about. Yeah, the other day. The metal. Yeah. Yeah, you made these 3D printed N14 medals

back in 2014. Oh, yeah. I'll see if we can do that again for anyone who participates. Yeah, they're like participation. trophies. I probably saw the mold for that. I could just paint a six on the four. Oh, I love it.

It'll still be shaped like a four, but there'll be a nail polish six over the top. Yeah. Weird. Brian Dunrow. Oh, I need a two. Short hair. Look at that. He has no two and a six. Oh, no kidding. Yeah, he needed two and a six. Man, it's just weird seeing this old video. Didn't feel like it was that long ago, but I guess that's... Why does this video feel like it's from the 90s?

It totally does. It does, dude. Oh my gosh. Look at Stephen. You had hair. Steven. Yep. Wow. Look at all these high schoolers in 1997. I know. I know. It totally does feel like, you know, watching 90210 or something. There's a shot of Logan with Leslie in here somewhere.

Just a little tiny, like a child in a diaper. Oh, my gosh. All right. Well, we're getting old. Anyway, I'm looking forward to bringing us all back together in one place. Bill having you there is going to be amazing. Everybody go to Punch Prop. dot com and check out all the rad stuff going on and good luck on the project that's about to drop we're so excited for you can't wait to hear yeah that would be fun hopefully monday hopefully nice uh we will

see how furiously i paint this week well document it with footage if you will uh bill duran everybody watch him as he makes by now all right well we did it we talked to bill yeah yeah we did always a pleasure. I am going to now I'm going to read you one more news story that we didn't get to. Oh, okay, cool. All right.

Because I wanted to do this one. Because it just was a, this is a hopeful story, you know? Yes. Don't feel like we have enough of those lately. This won't happen on spirit. No. No, it won.

Although, do you hear, in the follow-up to that, Delta announced there's no longer, they're no longer offering drinks or snacks under 400 miles or something like that. Yeah, yeah. Which doesn't surprise me. I mean, it always seemed like on those, it is a little nutty, but it is a little nutty. But it always seemed like when we do Vegas, it's an hour.

We're basically up in the air for an hour, right? It's an hour and a half deal, but there's all that time taking off and landing and stuff. And so they basically come out with the peanuts and come out with a drink and then immediately like, okay, we need your trash. Please, guzzle that down and give us your rappers and stuff. That's a good point. I think that makes sense there. I don't need it. Do you need it?

I don't need it. I don't need it. And people are fine bringing it on. I frequently get a bottle of something in the concourse and then just take it on the flight with me. I will miss the alcohol, though, because there are times that I like to say, you know what, it's a long flight. Or even if it's not a long flight. I'm going to Vegas. Let's start the party going.

I got a pregame, man. Yeah, give me a jack and Coke. Yeah. Pregame, although Southwest frequently says. sends me those free drink tickets. Please Southwest, don't take away the drinks like Delta. No, they, they, I think, I feel like Southwest is having a moment. Like they're doing, they got, they now have the assigned seating, which a lot of people wanted.

Yep. And they seem to be thriving. I feel like. It seemed to be done okay. Yeah, at a time where some of the others are struggling a bit, they seem to be, seem to be all right. Yeah, I'm, I'm taking United out to Vermont. And so I think the next time I, I think the next time I'll be doing a South Northwest flight could be if there's a TMS Vegas next year or something that uh probably a Vegas trip yeah because you always use them for the Vegas stuff right yeah oh my gosh this is gonna be the first year and forever that I haven't gone to Vegas do I need to just plan a little weekend a little weekend away yeah I think we're gonna I don't know when but we're thinking of something wait I already went no wait yeah you guys already you guys already went didn't you yeah we did yeah because you went to for a concert you went to see dead mouse was that last year that was last year was last year oh

That was last June. It was almost a year ago. Oh, wow. So, I know. That's crazy. That didn't feel right to me either. But then didn't I just go, oh, I went for my nephew's funeral, but that was in November. I don't know, dude.

I guess I haven't been this year. Yeah. All right, people, sign up for Rock Puzzles Monthly so I can go on a little trip to Vegas. That's right. That's right. Sons Monthly.com. Yeah. Sites getting updated, as a matter of fact.

Oh, very nice. Improving its look. I like them. Improving the SEO specifically. Improving looks and SEO are a key to a fine website. Heck yeah. Heck yeah. Well, anyway, back to this story. Yes, sorry. No, no, no, it's good. We went places and that's what we do. Paramedics helped a passenger give birth just before a Delta flight landed. So they were on this plane. Wow. And I love it because new life, man, just right there in the plane. Yeah, yeah. Some guys eating a nasty styrofoam thing full of fish. Right. Somebody you brought. some cooked

lutefisk. You know, I used to cook I guess you don't cook it. I guess you don't cook it. Yeah, you just ruin

other people's lives if you bring that anywhere. But then the lady should, I'm not saying that's what caused her to go into labor.

I'm just saying it's possible. That's all I'm saying. But anyway, the fast, I love how this article tries to be funny. It's a please fasten your seatbelt.

Make sure your tray table is an upright and locked position and prepare for delivery. Passenger in a Delta Airlines flight from Atlanta gave birth to a healthy five and a half pound

girl just before a Boeing, this Boeing 737 landed in Portland, two paramedics who happened to be on the flight, assisted, borrowing blankets from other passengers, and using shoelaces to tie off the umbilical cord. Oh, that's awesome. Oh my gosh. Pretty great. How'd they cut it, though, you know?

Atlanta to Portland, Oregon, man, that is a flight. That is, uh, what, did they say how long that flight is? They didn't, but it feels like about a four and a half, yeah. Yeah. I would say it's about that, depending on wins, though, I guess. It says baby Brielle, Renee Blair, came in about two weeks ahead of schedule. The plane about 20 minutes. What does that mean?

The plane came in 20 minutes ahead of schedule. Oh. You know what? More Huff Po level comedy. Yeah, thanks. APNews.com. You've learned your Huff Po lessons. My wife's flight came in 30 minutes early the other day.

I'm not used to that. No. No, no, it's like, you know, if you can do this all the time, why don't you do this all the time? Yeah, what's the problem, guys? Or at least, you know, I don't mind. This is where Bobby's going to chime in and tell us why they don't do it all the time. Yeah, but on time is fine. Yeah.

Early is great. That's great. Early is great. Early can be great unless you've got somebody meeting you at the airport. Oh, yeah, that's true. Yeah. But even, like, if it's somewhere between on time and a half an hour early. Yes. That's a happy time for everybody.

That's great. Absolutely. Can we just not have the late part? The two, three hours delayed. Can we not do that? That'd be great. Yes. We live in a society. Anyway, her mom, Ashley Blair, who was from Tennessee, was flying to Oregon to be with

her own mother for the birth, but didn't quite make it. She went to labor about a half hour from Portland. Well, that was a quick birth then. No kidding. I feel like even if you're two weeks early before the scheduled birth, just feels like, yeah, there's a good chance I'm going to give breath on this plane. Yeah, that's true. Like, I don't know.

Some women, you guys really get close to the fire or get close to the sun when you travel that late in your pregnancy. And I'm always impressed. Exactly. I'm always, I'll look at somebody and see that they're well on their way, like nine months plus. And I'll just go. Eight and a half month feels like the right time for a nice cross-country flight. Yeah. Yeah.

And it's probably the air pressure alone to be enough to, like, trigger something. Yeah. Sure. Probably what it was. but I this is going to sound weird but I would love to have been on this flight because there's something about

this holy natural human experience happening 30,000 feet in the air and this man-made tube of metal and the need for everybody to be on board. Yeah. Literally and figuratively with this birth. That's just the way it would be

and you'd have to, if you had one of those blankets or you were the guy with the shoelace or whatever. Do whatever. Yes, exactly. I don't know why. That sounds like a great experience. Here's why. Because we, on this show, in this segment with the news,

we tend to always tell these stories about somebody, a passenger died and had to be put back in the seat next to another person for the remainder of the flight. You're right. You know what? George Pardue, walking up and down the aisle, pooping all over the place. Peeing on the captain. Well done.

That's right. Exactly. It's about time we get a nice little happy, airplane story. I agree. But was there somebody in the back, like, as soon as that baby started crying, like, oh, my God, a baby on a flight. I can't believe it. I hate those people.

Why do people bring their children on these flights? Yeah. I don't, yeah, I hate me. You're getting me started at those people. Oh, I know. But I really, really am happy that the baby's okay. Mom's good. And a story for a lifetime.

I was born on a plane, you know? Oh, the Rafe 86. That's a great, great question. And what do you put as your place of birth? Do you put the closest big city on the map to where you were over over? Or do you put your destination location or your starting location? Yeah. Can you count?

Like if you're at 20,000 feet, can you count that and say on your birth certificate, 20,000 feet above the Oregon, Arizona or Idaho State Line or whatever the hell? Right, exactly. Yeah. Oh, Sunburn found an article. let's see says the subject to birth aboard aircraft and ships

long history and law contemporary law all aircraft have the nationality of the state in which they are registered oh so they so Tennessee natural persons born on natural that one's ships let's see is there

here we go U.S. State Department guidance instructions that a child born. Nope, that's international waters. This is like, just give us a, oh,

in the air, is there a place of birth? In the air? In the air? Oh, no. No, that's only in a region where no country claims sovereignty.

So, oh, like waters that are no man's land. Like, um, that's right. I would love that. It's funny. It doesn't give,

it'd be nice to give like a, this one really, really focuses on ships, even though the, the thing is, is, um, aircraft in ships, but it really focuses on the rules of ships.

I'm sure it happens a lot more in ships than it would in the air because flights technically are shorter no matter what, on average. Certainly conceived on a lot of cruise ships. Oh, yeah, and there's a little bit of that in the plane as well, if you know what I'm saying. Probably a little exactly the, can you get pregnant in the doing the Mile High Club thing? It's a good question. The air pressure. They need rules like your trivia team.

They need some kind of vital. Listen, it's never happened. me, but I can't imagine it's the most comfortable thing in the world. It feels like it would be the worst place. You've got to be like 20 and horny. Yeah, exactly. And small. Yeah.

I have a hard time imagining. Tiny, flexible and horny. Yeah. Three really important requirements. If you are 6.3, forget it. Freaking forget it. Don't do it. Just do it in the seat.

You may as well. You're going to get caught either way because you're a big lanky dummy hitting your head. Exactly, yes. Well, anyway. What if any of our listeners have joined the Mile High Club? I'd be curious to find out. Yeah, let us know, because that is the thing that has just never crossed my radar, not even once on a plane.

Yeah. I'm already on the plane going, I wish I wasn't on this plane. Right, right. Why would I be like, but there's sex to be having that tiny bathroom where a guy just pooed? Right. Oh, yeah, you've got the smell. You know, it's got the little vacuum that pulls things out, but it's still. No, look, not to be in too indelicate here,

anybody who's into the idea of a public bathroom moment like that. Whether it's in a plane or in a nightclub or whatever. Especially a nightclub. Like, what are you doing? I understand you're at a point where maybe you're inebriated past the point of caring. I understand all those factors. Yeah. Yeah.

That's just horrendous. You're better off just using the birthing towel and just covering yourself up and doing it in the seats. It's like I'd like to eat caviar sitting in a dump. Oh yeah, that just sounds like a great dining experience. Let's sit in the dump and eat caviar. Amy Redfraggle says, yeah, tried it once. It's terrible and it doesn't work well. I was 20 and stupid ones, she says.

My gosh. Yeah, the things were learning. So no Chuck. Dang it. It was pre-chuk. I want a picture Chuck, though. I want a picture Chuck. That's my goal.

Yeah. Not really. I don't want to picture it at all. Well, all right, then. We found our first taker. Anyway, the point is, though, if you are, if you, this is what I want to know, and I'll ask, you know, I'll ask some LLM later. But if I'm born in the air, let's say I'm in the middle of the ocean someplace. And I'm born in the air.

But my parents are from the states and I grow up to be the perfect politician who will absolutely 100% be elected to president. Am I eligible if I'm not born on US soil? Because right now I think the rule is you got to be born like here, here, or you're done. Right. You can't. Right. And then people go birth her crazy with me. You know?

He was born in the air. He can't qualify. Yeah. I want to know how that works. Yeah, that'd be interesting. Oh, Chuck just found out.

He just typed in chat. Oh, this is the first he's heard of this, is it? This is the first he's heard of it. I love it. I love that now there's going to be a little conversation in the Robinson household after TMS today.

Yeah, a little bit of the old. Yeah, no, international waters, like you said, it goes in the air is your location of birth. So I don't know. That might take you out of contention of being president because your birth certificate would not list a U.S. state.

But does that end up meaning you, but you're still a citizen? You don't have to register for citizenship at some point. I don't know. That is wild. It did say a weird thing about like sovereign, you know, over a territory that's not part of a country or sovereign nation. But I didn't, you know, it's not, it's no fun if you just,

watch me sit here reading things so i didn't read things too much so maybe maybe i missed it we're going to do some off off air research guys yes exactly and some one of you we'll just let you we'll just let you put it in the well actually along with that teflon thing kind of amazed nobody's put anything in the well actually about teflon i'm surprised that doesn't pop yet i'm watching it yeah um yeah yeah we're counting on you to do some servitude out there so i get that done yeah yeah please do uh we have a couple of quick bits of uh things people have sent us This is about the jugs of pee. The correspondence you might call it.

And one of them makes no sense to me and I would like to read it. This is from Charles in East Kentucky. And he says, do you guys ever go there? Thanks in advance. Now, it's easy to assume he means East Kentucky because he gave us the full name that he's Charles from East Kentucky. I don't know what he means, though. Do you guys ever go there? Thanks in advance.

And then that's how it starts and ends with I'm Charles in East Kentucky. So it isn't like, I'm from East Kentucky. Have you guys ever been? It's not like that. No, do you guys ever go there? And it's got to be he used dictation and, um, and it just picked up the wrong words and he sent it anyway, I think. Gotta be, dude.

This is one of those mystery emails. Or maybe it didn't pick up the first sentence and it just said, do you guys ever go there? Thanks in advance. Like, but it missed the whole like, Comic-Con. Do you guys ever go there? Yeah. Thanks in advance. Charles and East Kentucky.

A really good. key bit of context is missing here. Yeah, just a little bit. But please, please give us more. Yeah, like these weirdos that we get weirdos. You're not a weirdo, Charles. I'm just saying people who send in these like cryptic emails and texts, I usually can tell by the second one if they were having a go. So what he replies with next will be the real determiner. It's when people do something like this and then their reply is even worse. And I go, okay, they're just trolling us. Yeah. But Charles probably not. I think he maybe just, like you said, dictation's hard. Yeah. I think so. I don't think so. I don't think.

this, he wouldn't have said as much else after the missing phrase if he was trying to troll us. Because Kim sent me a text yesterday that she did from her car, dictated it, and said, we need more phycus. And I went, well, I like those trees. They're nice. Yeah. Do we need more? Who doesn't? Who doesn't need more ficus?

I don't even know if we have a ficus tree. So we just need a ficus? Like I was confused about what she was saying. I knew it was spring. We're working on yard things. So I didn't know. and she rolled back sorry it was supposed to be focus we need more focus

yeah and she was talking about she was talking about the uh it was something to do with contract for the for the event or something totally unrelated to trees but her thing said phicus so do you ever do the thing where um you it's a word that that

uh you know series gotten wrong you send the text and it's like oh it totally got that word wrong so you do a new one and instead of saying the word again you spell it But this time, because you're spelling it, it puts it in all caps. And it looks like you're yelling at the person you're texting to. Like you're correcting them. Like it was their mistake.

That's right. Pepsi! Pepsi! Didn't you intuitive for the first misspelling? Pepsi! Pepsi! Love saying Pepsi loud. It's fun.

Yeah, it's a fun word to say loud. Yeah, if you're going to yell something nonsense, yell Pepsi. Yeah. Oh, I'm going to do that today and just freak everybody in the house out. Do that when somebody says this, Coke. okay. Pepsi! Pepsi! Here's what this person said in there. I got no name on this.

So it was an honest. It was a text that came to us at quick TMS. No, what the hell is it? All right. Quick. No. No, it's not a quick thing at all. What is wrong with me? It's the voicecast.d.app slash DMS.

There it is. There it is. Holy shit. Frogpants.coms. TMS. Just go find it there. Anyway. So, Scott, I thought you should know we are slowly coming up to the point where the first Lord of the Rings movie will have been out longer than the time between Star Wars episode four releasing and the release of Lord of the Rings fellowship of the ring. Wow.

He says it's literally months away, he or she. That's crazy. Well, all right. I don't like these kind of time things. That's a lot. That's a big representation in terms that we can understand and appreciate. Mm-hmm. I mean, that just doesn't sound right.

Because that represents time when you and I were seven years old, old and then when you and I were 30 31 32 years old. Right. That's an insane amount of time. It's like the, you know, and we're long past it, but when people said, yeah, we're now further away from when Back to the Future was released than the time that Back to the Future went back to the past. Like it's closer now to 1955 from when Back to the Future was released as it is for Back

to the Future to now. makes me really uncomfortable. I don't like that. Totally does. Time. Time. How does it work? All right. That's it. Froggance.com slash TMS for all the ways to contact us. You can do email, text, voicemails, and everything in between. That's pretty much all there is, but...

Today is just cool. Banana Day. You have anything going on today? I want to mention. Recording Lost Luggage with the castaways. We've got the first episode posted. Oh, yeah, we should Pimp that. Lost Luggage Show.com is the website.

You'll get the pilot or the pre-pilot right now, which is just us introducing ourselves and each talking about our experience with the show Lost and what we think it is and how we believe it to be and all that stuff. I think we're going to release those episodes new episodes on Wednesdays. So a new episode, the pilot,

the episode of Lost Luggage that talks about the pilot of the show Lost will be uploading tomorrow. Oh, very nice. Yeah, go check it out, you guys. Lost Luggage Show.com. If you are fond about the show lost when it was in its heyday or even now.

Or if you've never seen it. This is even better. Like, if you want to watch it brand new with Phil and TV's Travis, then do that. Yeah, get in there. Get it done. On Hulu, yeah.

I've watched episode last night for today's show that I just like, oh my God, I just want to watch the next episode right now. Why do I have to wait a week? Oh, that makes me want to watch it hearing you talk that way. That's so good. You know, first few seasons, first three or four seasons. It's a seminal television event. Yes. Right?

It just is, there's nothing quite like it. It is. It's still felt today in the things we see now. The mystery box genre of TV programs. Yeah. And we still get them. And there's some pretty damn good ones that probably wouldn't exist without the trail blazed by them. So say what you want about the ending are some of the problematic seasons. Yep. Hell of a thing. Hell of a thing. All right. That'll do it for us. Brian, let's play a song for these people.

Yeah, Jeff Collins wrote in and said, oh, by the way, real quick, more requests. Get your requests in for May and early June because like I said, I want to have all the songs queued up because I'm not taking my hard drive of music. That's going to be a difficult thing to not to not take to Vermont. But that's staying behind. All right. Jeff Collins wrote in and said, I am My Garage Bay on Patreon. That time again for a birthday song request and I ask the covermaster to dig into the bag of covers and pull one out of his choice. I will be starting my last year of my 40s,

signed Jeff Collins. Well, happy birthday, Jeff Collins. It's today. That's awesome, man. Congratulations. And so by my math works out that you are starting your 49th year of life. I think that sounds right. If it's the last year of your 40s,

I don't want to, I don't want to, you know, speak out of a tune if this is like the Teflon thing. Never know. Anyway, so 49. So it made me think of, all right, well, what's a good 49 song. Well, before he was driving his Maserati 185 and before he was in the Eagles,

Joe Walsh was a member of the James gang. And one of their big hits was a song called Funk Number 49. You might not know the name of the song, but you absolutely will recognize it when you hear it. Gretchen Wilson recognized it and loved it enough to do a cover of it on her 2013 poorly named album Under the Covers. Here is Gretchen Wilson and funk number 49.
