Starting point is 00:01:02 The morning stream. I'm Leo Gett. And whatever you want, Leo Gets. Hello, everyone, and welcome to TMS. It is the morning stream for May 18th, 2020. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Ibbett. Good Monday morning to you.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Starting a brand new week. Yay. Boy, did I kick it off right. I spent the day yesterday and chicken broth and water. Yeah. And today I feel like an empty husk of a man. I'm sure. I'm sure. Geez. Pretty sick of this thing, but what are you going to do? Yeah. Well, the irony is the day. A couple more days. Yeah. The irony is last Thursday was the day it was supposed to be the worst because that was then morning after. And I remember I warned you ahead of time. And I was like, yeah. Yeah. Might be a mess today, Brian, or whatever I said.
Starting point is 00:02:00 You said you had a rough night that night, but that you were fine the next morning. Yeah, I was feeling good. show. Yeah, and I was like, you know what? All right, then. If that's as bad as it's going to be. Nope. That was not as bad as it was going to be. Turns out, quadrupling a dose of a medication is not a wise decision in anyone's life. And I would recommend not making that mistake. No one did it on purpose for those who haven't heard the story. Go back and listen Thursday. But right. Right. Right. Narlie. Hey, it doesn't matter. We're here. We're making a show. And I got a couple of hot takes because yesterday I just kind of lounged. I didn't do anything. It was like a total lazy. a lazy poop. Yeah, as you should, as you should in recovery of something like that. Yeah. It felt right to do it, you know. And so, and I want to get to whether you did or not, because I know you had,
Starting point is 00:02:47 you were pretty pooped Sunday as well. Yeah. Yes. So we'll get to that in a sec. But, so I'm laying there and I'm on the couch, kind of my spot that I always have. It's like a nice little comfy spot. We got these blankets. It's getting cold outside because we got this storm coming in.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Kind of a nice cozy day to not have to do anything or worry about anything. And my wife has decided that she's doing a rewatch. This is the second time she's seen this series. She's watching Blue Bloods again. She's a big fan. She likes it. And Blue Bloods is a mix of really great, occasionally very great performances and a great premise that this family, the Reagan family,
Starting point is 00:03:29 with Frank at the head of the family, who's played by Tom Selleck, and then all these other people, they're all kind of in the New York system of justice, right? He's chief commissioner of the whole NYPD, and then his sons are various forms of detective and street patrol and that kind of thing. One of their sons was killed in action, and so there's that whole aspect to it.
Starting point is 00:03:52 And then they've got a daughter, and she's a lawyer, works at the DA there in the city. Or she is the DA. I can't remember. Maybe she becomes the DA. District attorney. But she's a big deal in the, in the whole, you know, law thing.
Starting point is 00:04:06 And then they have kids and their various stages of trying to understand if they're going to be in this family or not. And it's like a mix of, I kind of like a lot of that. And then the procedural parts of it are just as dumb as every other procedural. They're just kind of like, the cases are dumb. The gang members talk like cartoons. Like, it's just not, it's a mix, right? It was popular, but it was popular in the way that all the CSIs were popular.
Starting point is 00:04:33 It's that kind of thing. Right. So now that I've given you that background as to my take on my general take on the show, it's fine. I did have an impression about Donnie Wahlberg. There's two things. He's in it. He plays one of the sons. And Donnie Wahlberg, when he's playing one particular type of character, like the character he is in the show, he's very good at it.
Starting point is 00:04:53 In fact, I would argue he might be a better actor than his brother when it comes to this particular role. Sure. But it's the same guy he always is, with the exception of Sixth Sense where he's. he's the skinny kid at the beginning with the gun. Other than that, I always forget about that. Yeah. Other than that,
Starting point is 00:05:09 it's kind of the same guy, kind of a pissed off. Whether he's either in Boston that one day or New York the next day accents, but it's always this pissed off kind of, you know, good heart, but gonna get it done the dirty way if he has to kind of vibe. And he's very good at it.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Sure. Here's the problem. When he yells, which is frequently, because he's always out busting some purp. Of course. He probably spends all his time yelling. Yep.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Always busting perps. That's what they tell you in the academy. Always be busting perps. A, B, P. Always be busting perks. That's right. That's A B B B B B. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:41 It's right. And then that's too many letters for cops to remember. But anyway, he's... Alec Baldwin would not be able to use that. No, he would not. Yeah. So he's out doing that. And when he yells, like, put your hands up.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Do blah, blah, whatever. He sounds like angry George Costanza. Like, George is getting... George is getting angry! Like that kind of thing. Okay. All right. So I thought, I'm just going to tell Brian this tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:06:04 And then I thought, no, Scott, you do, you go, full due diligence here. You're going to get some audio and compare it. It didn't happen. I want to hear it. I got to hear it for myself. That's right. So here's, these aren't maybe, I don't know if these are the best clips. I just kind of grab what I could find.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Okay. So, you know, take that for what it's worth. But here's Donnie Wahlberg in a scene, yelling at people doing various things, about six seconds. So here's that. You, get on the ground right now. Get on the ground right now. You, tough guy.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Up against a glass. Now. If you close your eyes. Yeah. You don't get on it yet. You can hear George like season four through seven, George, right? Yeah. Like living in society here.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Like just an angry George. So then I went got some George. You couldn't figure out the world's theory for yourself? George is getting upset. It's just there's something. There is, yeah. Connecting him. So what happened was I was zoning in and out of her watching this.
Starting point is 00:06:58 I would be kind of half away and just really tired. Sure. And I would hear it with my eyes close. I think, why is George arresting hookers? What's going on? Like, that can't, this doesn't feel right. Like, why am I hearing this? What am I hearing?
Starting point is 00:07:13 Yeah, why is George busting hookers? Why is he, why is he yelling at the police chief? And then I'd wake up and kind of bleary-eyed look. I'm like, oh, it's this freaking show again. Gosh, dang it. So that's when the headphones went in or the earbuds went in, and I started listening to something that would not drive me crazy. Nice, good.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Yeah, it's always a good choice. What was your, like, if you're planning on napping and you're, you know, laying on the couch, zoning in and out, what do you put on to listen to? Like, um, just, um, that's a great question. Is it one of the, one of the built in, but you do YouTube music, don't you? I do. I do, but it's basically the same idea. You just find your playlist that you like or whatever, but I mostly, what do I go to?
Starting point is 00:07:54 Actually, the advantage, one of the advantages of YouTube music is it also taps into all of the, like, 10-hour. Oh, right. Yeah. Alphi. Ambient sound kind of things. Yeah, all those kinds of things are there at a tap. That's nice. I'll often do that and find like, here's ambient music from Elder Scrolls online, which is a very nice soundtrack.
Starting point is 00:08:15 So I'll listen to that and get super into it. Oh, Kim brought me toast. I wonder how that'll go down. On the show. On the show. Oh, well, no, I'm fine with that. I just, I don't trust my shitty guts. Your guts.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Yeah. She's like, no, I promise it's like protein bread. I'm like, I know. It's fine. I'll try it. I mean, it's some kind of high protein bread. It's made with meat. It's meat bread.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Meat bread. Mmm. Yum. Anyway. That's great. Also, quick shout out to Andrew Brown. No particular reason. I won't get into why.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Just think he's cool and I want him to know it. So that's all. He is cool. Yeah. Take that Andrew Brown. You're cool. Brian, we should remind people at home. The next couple of weeks are going to get weird.
Starting point is 00:09:01 So let's talk about it. It's going to be in Vermont. I've got, already started working on my schedule, figuring out, all right, when am I going to bike? Oh, that's another thing I got to send you is a photo of this bikeway that I'm going to go on. It cuts across part of Lake Champlain and it's like looks so cool. I'll get that. That sounds awesome. All right.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Yes, yes. But requests, yeah, starting, we're not going to have a Sean Memorial Day as normal as we normally don't. No, we always honor it. As we normally do, but as we normally don't. And so from the 26th to June 5th, and the jury's out if I'm going to be able, I might not be able to do a show on June 5th. So we'll have to, we'll talk about subs and stuff like that. Sure.
Starting point is 00:09:47 I need requests. I've got a few. So, you know, there's already a couple days kind of taken up. But, no, like especially early June, that first week of June, that first week of June. I've got something for the first and then that's it. So second, third, fourth, fifth, all those would be, or fourth would be great. There's a couple overlaps. So like on the 30th, I've got two requests.
Starting point is 00:10:12 So I'll push one of those to, might do one of those earlier in that week. 29th, 28th, 27th. Yeah, I've got one for the 26th. Yeah, so early June is good. Now that I'm looking at this, it's like, wow, actually, you know, the, These aren't these aren't too bad. Here's what's funny. I'm just looking through these dates and I'm seeing that nighttime sent in a cover for May 27th, 2026.
Starting point is 00:10:41 And he just says, this isn't for when you were in Vermont. But you will be in Vermont. That's square, almost square in the middle of my Vermont time. Why would you, why would you say that? Need some specificity there on that one. Specificity. Specificity. Specificity. Yeah, that's easy for nobody to say. It was that old...
Starting point is 00:11:09 Specificity. Bad robot show before lost. Specificity. Specificity. I hate it when she changed her hairstyle. It messed everything up. Specificity. So anyway, get those requests in. Go to frogpents.com slash TMS. And there's a place there for you to get your requests.
Starting point is 00:11:27 And basically the reason I'm saying it now, because I'm not going to have access to music, as much music as I do when I'm here. So I want to have all these folders filled up with music before I go. So I don't have to worry about it. Do you ever tell me how many terabytes you had handy? Oh. I mean that your music takes up or maybe it isn't up to the terabytes level. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:50 I don't think it is maybe one. No, I think it might be 1.5 terabytes of music. Sounds right. Yeah. That's still, I mean, that is a ton of ass. That's the number. That's the number that I seem to be remembering most recently when I like, you know, I go on to find that folder, the Apple Music folder and then just do a get info.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Yeah. Yeah. So. Adds up. It does. And unfortunately, you know, it would be nice if Apple Music didn't have 100,000 song cap. And then I would have access to all my music on my laptop because it would all be up in iTunes music match. but it's like you're saying on
Starting point is 00:12:29 FilmSack pre-show they I think that the reason they're in no rush to up that cap is so few people are just no one's like you no one's buying music right no one has any reason to buy music
Starting point is 00:12:44 exactly no one's buying it first of all second of all nobody's like you with the cat with the exceeded cap already you're a weird outlier I'm a weird unicorn yes I'm the music collecting unicorn I hate when you find out you're a unicorn in a system that you just really need a tiny update, just a tiny bit.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Right, because you know it's never going to get better for you. You know that you don't even make a blip in their radar as far as like, well, what we had to do is increase blah, blah, blah, because of people like Brian Ibit and only him. Person like Brian Abbott. Yeah. He is our person. He is our person, our example.
Starting point is 00:13:18 But, yeah, yesterday recovering also from going to ska fest, saw local Colorado band Potato Pirates. The Aquabats, Five Iron Frenzy, who I think I might have misspoken, said Five Finger Death Punch when I talked about it last week. Oh, maybe. Very different bands. Yeah, they could not be more different. Yeah. But I think Five Iron Frenzy also local guys, local Denver band.
Starting point is 00:13:43 And then the headliners, the band that we went there to see was the Dance Hall of Crashers. Here's Potato Pirates. And they are so loud that I have to wear earplugs. T and I are both wearing earplugs that were both like, yeah, it's still too loud. Yet here's a couple of kids just hanging out on stage. Just, you know, just. Must be their kids. And also, I don't think those people know how, what they're doing to their hearing.
Starting point is 00:14:06 It's, uh, I think they don't. Yeah. Probably bad idea. Yeah. Did they, uh, do they actually pirate potatoes or those side? No, they didn't have any, uh, they didn't have any potato pirating going on. That's a sure. But look at those dangly air business things going on.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Like, he's got those gauges in and, uh, you can have a dog. You had a little puppy jump through those. Some big old danglies, yeah. Yeah. at this kid that Brian beginning right here, back here, on the left. He's like, he's just, you know, bored out of his mind like, all right, uh, you know. Hey, dad.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Yeah, look at him. At least he's wearing something. It looks too, it looks too low and not right. And also that kid over there. Gosh dang. Crazy. All right. Bring your kids.
Starting point is 00:14:47 It's bring your kids to Potato Pirate Day. Bring your kids to Scoff Fest day. I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Um, and then, uh, clip, uh, if you want to do. yeah this one this is the aquabats and this is the video that like they have all sorts of videos that play behind them the whole time i talked about on film sac they had the scene from um uh the val kilmer thing uh not top secret where they're having the battle underwater but just the outfits that the aquabats wear man i absolutely freaking love yeah they're pretty great yeah and they're local to you they're uh utah folks yeah i heard they were uh coming they were doing something for this um
Starting point is 00:15:25 Or maybe the deal was they weren't going to make it to Killby Court. We have this thing every, I think I talked about it briefly. It was like a big festival. And I think maybe the news was these guys are usually there and they weren't this time because they were there at your thing, I think. Oh, yeah, certainly would make sense. Yeah. And they were good, were they? They were great.
Starting point is 00:15:46 They were a lot of fun. Yeah, Tina had never heard them before or seen them or had any idea. Okay, what do we got here? Tell me about this guy. Giant Frankenstein. One of these inflatable things like, you know, you get the dinosaurs. But just the way the Frankenstein moves because it's one of these inflatable things is just fantastic. That's great.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Yeah. I want one of those. How do you get that? Head flopping around. I don't know. Imagine you can buy them online on Amazon or something. That's amazing. But just the way that they walk is just fantastic.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Oh, and there's all the, you said, beach balls and. Yes, pizza, slices and sharks. Yeah. Aquabats throw a bunch of inflatable crap into the audience for the whole show. That's great. And, you know, they start off with, it's all right, a pool party song. Well, we're kicking out a bunch of beach balls on there. And then we're doing a song called Pizza Party.
Starting point is 00:16:38 And so they, or Pizza Day. Yeah, Pizza Day is such a great song. And they throw a bunch of slices of pizza out there, like floating rafts that you would have in a swimming pool for pizza. Or, you know, the shape like pizza. And that's what people were crowd surfing on, not just their bodies. They got on the slices of pizza and the crowd pushed them around. Wow. Can you get out of there with one of those?
Starting point is 00:17:02 Like if you were, okay. That's the idea. You don't have to return these. No, no. The person who's sitting behind us was down on the floor and came back with one of the sharks. That's great. I would love a pizza one. That would be so cool to have.
Starting point is 00:17:16 The pizza one's great. Yeah, so good. Even if I never put it in a pool, I'd hang it up in here somewhere. Right. And you could tell like, like, all right. balls lasted long time. The pizza slices lasted forever. There was no, you know, they were good and durable. The sharks,
Starting point is 00:17:31 they start out with five of them and then you'd see you'd see one of them like get punctured and it's like tail would be flopping down as people were batting it around and by the end, the balls were still intact. The pizza, half of the balls were still intact. Both pizza slices were still intact, but the, the sharks were gone. Wow.
Starting point is 00:17:49 The sharks were toast. Well, uh, that's awesome. But you're, but it was tiring. It was a great show. We got home at one o'clock quarter to 1 a.m. Just because of all those four bands playing. I mean, I'm no spring chicken anymore, folks.
Starting point is 00:18:06 We took the train so we wouldn't have to do with parking and stuff like that. So yeah, by the time we got home, it was quarter to one. I, that would be out the whole next day. I was telling Brian Pre-show that I'm, I don't, I think that Skah and I are on a day. different clock now. And it's specific to certain kinds of music, right? Some kind of music, at least live music anyway, because I can listen to ska all day. Like, it's great. If I'm in the place where it's happening and it's happening raw, and even though the audience skews maybe a little
Starting point is 00:18:38 more middle, you know, less young, young, because it's a lot of people who loved it in the 90s or whatever, it still just feels like it's lapping me. And I'm like, I can't keep up. I would not be out there skanking. You know, I am not going to be out there picking it up, picking it up. picking it up. I'm going to be back here on the seats where I was sitting it down, sitting it down, sitting it down. There you go. That's what I would do too. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you made it and that you don't look any worse for wearing. You look great. Yeah, thanks. Thanks. Guys, I mean, as good as I always. As good as you always do. That's right. I don't want to, you know, I don't want to get the ladies too worked up at home. Right. Yeah, please. Guys, time for this. This is happening right now. music signifies the arrival of one Brian Dunaway who joins us now.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Hey, Brian, what's up? Oh, I have arrived. Oh, hi, Scott, Brian. You have arrived. It's good to have you here for your arrival, and we're glad to be here with you. You want to play a game? How do you feel about that? You like that idea?
Starting point is 00:19:40 Play a game or make a game. Tell us about this 8-bit computer club thing. Oh, yeah. How's that going? Oh, yeah. That's going pretty good. I'm using, I post a picture in our Discord server. You did.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Yeah, so I got my Commodore 128. hooked up and I've been partner around with that learning Sprite magic. Is that really the cassette tape backup? The Commodore cassette tape backup thing? Oh, yeah, yeah. That's the data set. I've got a 1541
Starting point is 00:20:07 that's non-functional of 1571. It is functional and a 1581. So, yeah, all real hardware. It's hard to believe there's a photo you took in 2026. I know. This morning before I left for work, actually. Yeah. I'm working with Sprite magic learning that. It was
Starting point is 00:20:23 a Compute's Gazette type-in program that lets you do, let you create sprites. And it's actually on issue 50, they added a couple other sprite programs. Are these supposed to be those dudes, the, hello, we're here from the moon. You know who I mean? Yeah, yeah, no, no, this is just a test. Actually, I was actually what I started with, I was like, you know what? I think I want to make a little floppy. I was like, ah, it's a little squareish.
Starting point is 00:20:49 I was like, how about I got to go double wide. I was like, how about I do an SD card? and it kind of sprung from that, but... This painting back here freaks me out, too. Oh, you like that? You like that? No, I don't like it. She gives...
Starting point is 00:21:00 Always watching. Always. I have no nose. That's the, well, that's the, that's the motivator. That's what I call the motivator. Is it? If I don't, if I'm not doing it, it's like, I'll look up the disappointment. And I'm like, okay, I got to get on it.
Starting point is 00:21:14 How'd you have the orange, the orange foam, uh, Walkman headphones. Yeah, you don't have some of those? No, not anymore. Actually, don't. All the, all the foam detain. Terriated on the ones I had. I wish I had some. Oh, none of mine held together. Because it'd be part of my Starlord costume.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Hell, you know. You don't have a Grover, angry mug, nothing like that. No, I don't know. Did you fire up your... Oscar, excuse me, I said Grover. Yeah, you meant Oscar. Did you fire up your Apple 2E again? Did you get the paper things?
Starting point is 00:21:42 So, yeah, they're on their way from console 5, and they'll be here on Friday. Hopefully on time for the 8-Bit computer club, and I'll try to put those in. So get my apple towee. Apple towee. Apple towee. That's fantastic. Very, very cool. Well, thank you for sharing that with us.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Oh, no, thank you. Now let's see how much of your brain has been eaten by the process so that we can beat you at this game.

But if any of those guesses are wrong, you get zero points for that round. Get one right, gets you a point, two right gets you three points. Three right gets you five points. We're going to add up all those points at the end, and you're

Starting point is 00:24:53 They weren't 13. Yeah, your Jack Swigert was 13. Nobody fell for Jack Swigert. Good. Nobody picked Jack Swigert. You both picked Frank Borman, too. Oh, good. So we're either floating or sinking together.
Starting point is 00:25:08 You're either tied or we. And you are both sinking together. Oh, damn it. Frank Borman circled the moon as part of Apollo 8. I think it was Alan Shepard. Did not actually land. Yeah. Alan Shepard was, was not a, it was not a, uh, uh, it was so easy.
Starting point is 00:25:26 It's like, I'm like, I'm like, well, I definitely know Alan Shepard was an astronaut. He definitely went and I was like, uh, that's too easy. I know. That's how we got me too. I would have picked it too. I thought more about it, I guess. Yeah. And Michael Collins did go with the Apollo 11 team, but he stayed in the, um, in the pod or he
Starting point is 00:25:46 stayed in the thing that circled around. Yeah. He didn't go down in the Leve or something. He also led the Scottish revolt. No, what was that Michael Collins? The one that Liam Mason played? Is that right? I think it was Michael Collins.
Starting point is 00:26:03 I think that's his name. But I can't remember what that Michael Collins did. But anyway. Yeah. All right. Nice. Let's go to question number two. How about literature?
Starting point is 00:26:12 Words. We're familiar with words. Words are good. You know words. We know these words. I like that bowling alley. Sorry. All right.
Starting point is 00:26:20 I had to mute this. What happened? This is music and it was playing somehow. Oh, you guys probably can't hear it. No, we didn't hear anything. All right.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Which of these words are attributed to Shakespeare? Oh, Irish. Gosh, thank you. Which of these words are attributed to Shakespeare? Shakespeare gave us a lot of words that we still use. Sugar Spear. One of them is not Shakespeare. It is not.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Words you can't shake a spear at. Which of these are words that he coined in his writing? Ideal. Mimic, DoDrop, Infernal, Label, and Bedroom. I feel like these are words that he came up with. I feel like we did this. We did do one of these. I haven't had my Shakespeare books beside my bed in a couple of years,
Starting point is 00:27:04 so it's been at least a couple of years since we did this. Yeah. Because the last time we did this, I was right in the middle of, I was right in the middle. I was right in the middle of like, yeah, just like looking through stuff. Some reference books I had. All right. You're a nerd.
Starting point is 00:27:19 That's been a couple years. You didn't see my eight-bit computer club? All right. Good point. Good point. I don't. Still hasn't selected anything. I'm scared.
Starting point is 00:27:31 These scare me. That timer is getting started right there. All right. I'm doing that. I'm doing that. Okay. All right. Funny again, you guys joined on one and then went your own ways on two of the other ones.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Let's start with the one you did. You did pick together. Do drop. It feels like something. poetic or you know like uh take two words put them together smash them together drop thine do drop does glow like the oh no i don't like how he's doing this guy like tears in your eyes or something like that uh do drop yes it is a word that shakespeare came up with all right yeah good for him um bedroom there's a this a word that we use all the time brian you picked bedroom
Starting point is 00:28:15 yeah he he like to put words together That's really good point. Interesting. Maybe not this time around. Okay. Bed and room. Who would have thought those two words could go together? Oh, it's a room with a bed in it. Sure enough. Sure enough. Bill Shakespeare did come up with the word bedroom. Really? Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Holy crap. We have Shakespeare to think for all those songs and movie titles that have bedroom in the bedroom. The real thing was he just like didn't like putting spaces between words. It's really true. Yeah, exactly. It's like a lot of work with the quill to like move over. We just gave authenticity to his typos. Is that what we did? We just said,
Starting point is 00:28:54 All right. All right, exactly. Well, he can't be wrong. He's Shakespeare. Yeah, I guess. That's right. Third one, Scott chose was infernal. Is that made up of two words?
Starting point is 00:29:07 Infernal. Well. Info-nernal. Maybe it's right. Maybe right. In this case, it is not. Infernal is not. But Mimic is.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Mimic is a. Shakespearean word as well. So Dungeons and Dragon players. How do you think he said it? Do you go mimic? Like that? Just like that before the coyote got him. Yeah. Meek. Mimi-meek. What's that?
Starting point is 00:29:29 Why is that chest full of gold chewing my leg off? Mimi-mik. Meek. All right. Yeah. It's very cool. All these words that
Starting point is 00:29:41 that that dude with a frilly collar gave to us. Brian, going it around three or three points. Scott, you need to put some points on the board and you can do it with the question number three number three is oh art you know art you know colors you know paint he's the best we've done we've done shades of red we've done shades of blue how about shades of yellow your choices are ariolan bice jasmine rufus citron and vert three of these are shades of yellow vert three of them are not oh good lord that feels I got to go three here.
Starting point is 00:30:19 You have to go three if you want, unless you're shooting for the time. I got to go at least two if I don't want him to sweep me. If I do one, that won't be enough if it gets two, right. I'm doing three. I'm scared. That seemed like that. All right. Okay, both locked in.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Oh, my gosh. All right. Well, you both went to the aureolin, which looks like ariola. Orillian. Yeah, come on. Yellow areola. Ariolas aren't yellow. Right.
Starting point is 00:30:51 It better not be. Oh, man. No. You'll see your doctor. No, but areola is a cobalt yellow. So very good. You both got that one. Citrin.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Citrin, like your lemons. That feels like, that's what I thought, but it felt like bait. So I avoided it. Yeah. Well, in this case, it was not bait. It is correct. Okay. Dang it.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Good job. Okay. I'm scared now. Okay. Virt. Shit. Vert. Verte was the only, the other one that Scott chose.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Verte. Hey, vert. Verst sounds like Verde or Verr, like Vermont. Oh, like Verde. Like Verde. And that is true. Yeah, vert is... Shit.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Is green. Rufus is another one of red. Jasmine was our other yellow, by the way. Oriola, Citrin, and Jasmine. Yeah. And Bice is a former contestant on American Idol. Bice. No, Bice is also blue. There's a shade of blue as a
Starting point is 00:31:51 Bice. These are universal accepted ones? Are these by some companies, here's our blue, here's our. Oh. Yeah, Creole. Yeah, it's a really good question. Burt and Sienna. That's a good question. I think these are terms as opposed to
Starting point is 00:32:07 branded colors. Okay. All right. That's good. I'm not that I would know any better. I've used, I've had to I've had to learn how to spell Aurelion before because I've had to order it. That was only one I really knew. It just sounds like a Star Trek alien race.
Starting point is 00:32:20 And I spelled it wrong like a million times. I'm like, well, how are you supposed stupid? Captain Picard, the Aurelians have come aboard. That's what it sounds like. I'm sorry, Bice is from the French BIS. Originally meant just dark colored. I was thinking, I was thinking maybe it was related to bile, which is sometimes a dark or sometimes yellow. And it is, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:44 just that was the best I could do. Well, you still won, Mr. Three Points. Congratulations going out then to, let me pull that up, going out to Chris Warren. Chris, good job. You're going to get a copy. Oh, funny, didn't even think about this, of Blunk, which is white. And Wild Mender over there on Steam. But Scott Taskin, you're not going away empty-handed.
Starting point is 00:33:09 You're getting a copy of War Pips, and you just might get an email read on today's show. We'll see. We'll see if we feel like doing it. But everybody going away with something. I think thanks to Wesley for sending in these game codes. I can only speak to War Pips. It's very good. And he's going to like that a lot.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Even as today's loser, you're a winner. Does Gladys Knight fare in that game at all? Does she lead the War Pips? She's the villain. You got a, the Pips are revolting. Yeah, they're sick of her. They've had it. The Pips are taken back what's theirs.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Well, anyway, we will get those to you. just watch four-year private messages over on the Patreon, and congratulations and thanks for playing. Hey, Brian Dunaway, big thanks to you for playing as well. Thank you. We mentioned the 8-bit computer club. We should probably mention on Wednesdays we do play retro and watch retro. That'll happen this week.
Starting point is 00:33:59 Yeah, so much fun. We're doing those Gunstar heroes that's recommended by Scott Johnson. Yeah, that game I'm ruled, man. That was my Genesis DeJure game. I loved it. Very cool. So we're going to talk about that. We're going to also watch some cool old animation.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Orbot's. And Mighty Orbot, we're going to finish that Mighty Orbots thing. You wish. Even though they're, you know, they're spending about a thousand dollars less per episode to make it. It's so weird how strong that thing started and how wimpy it is now. It's so weird. Yeah. You could tell the budget just got slashed.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Is there a Jerry Orbot? There's no Jerry Orbot. No, I'm trying to bomb that. That's too bad. He's a rough and tumble cop just looking for trouble or whatever. Anyway, Dunaway, you're, anyway, anyway, Dunaway, that's your new nickname. Anyway, Donoey. Kiss our butts.
Starting point is 00:34:49 All right, he's out of here. That was fun. Good game today. Yep. Guys, good, good, good. We've heard you. You've said you want more Stephen. We're making it happen.
Starting point is 00:34:59 And now welcome Stephen to the show. He's a huge freaking nerd. Dollar Dala bills, y'all. He's here right here. Hi, Stephen. Hello. Good morning, Scott. Hello, Brian.
Starting point is 00:35:08 I'm a little jealous of you. Hello. Why are you jealous? You got to go see the Aquabats, man. Oh, yes. God, they're great. They're really, really great. I really wish I could see them in concert live,
Starting point is 00:35:17 but I was hoping they would pass through Hayes, but they did not. Oh, Hayes isn't on their list? That's a shame. No, no, no. Although the bowling for soup was passed through Haynes not too long ago, so, yeah. I've never...
Starting point is 00:35:29 Did they do any kids surfing? Kids surfing? Kids surfing? Yeah, they do this thing where they surf on kids? No, they take these kids, and they throw them out into the audience, and the audience catches them and body surfs them across the floor.
Starting point is 00:35:41 No, they didn't, but they were all. lot of kids at the show and it's funny because they went on right before the dance hall crashers and um and the place like during the the setup time for uh dead cell crashes the place emptied out of kids like it was parents and kids like yep that's who he came here to see time to get them to bed Saturday night late night so what's the idea that they toss a kid out and he can safely surf around the crowd and yeah yeah it's all supportive it's a very supportive I think Aquabats is a very family friendly show yeah yeah and a one of the reason why kids are there
Starting point is 00:36:13 I think is because of the TV show that they had for a couple of years. Oh, okay. Oh, they had a show? They showed, they played the theme song. Yeah, they played the theme song and they showed some video from the show. And it's like, I've got to see this. Teeny was like, I've got to watch some of this show. It looks absolutely nuts.
Starting point is 00:36:30 It is. Aquabat Super Shoke. That's the one. Yep. Yeah. 2012 to 2018. That's a pretty good run. Oh, I want to time off.
Starting point is 00:36:37 When we see? It's really good. You can watch on toby. It looks a lot like the, uh, Power Rangers, the goofiness of the Power Rangers. Yes. Yeah. And that's why.
Starting point is 00:36:50 But meant to be as goofy as this is. Yeah. Yeah. So it was originally intended to be a TV version of their live show because if you listen to some of their songs and you've watched them over the years, they would have these villains come out on stage during the show. And they would fight them off and do all sorts of antics and stuff. And so you see a lot of those villains appear in the Aquabat Super Show. I want to. I'm going to watch this.
Starting point is 00:37:12 It's on too. It's all up there. You will really love it. It is great. The effects are so cheesy, but they are like effects that you would sit there and go, okay, these make sense. Like, I forget what the guy's name is who has the big beard and plays the bass, but he's like, I'm getting angry. He's not falcon tooth, eagle, clars, something like that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Although when you watch the Aquabat Super Show, there is a, his brother shows up, and it's played by, um, uh, uh, uh, his, his brother shows up. And it's played by, um, uh, what's his name from the, uh, from the movie, gosh, uh, has Pedro vote for Pedro? Oh, uh, John, John Heeter has no, yeah, John Heater is in, is in there. No way. There's a lot of celebrities that appear in an Aquabat super show. I'm, I'm super want to check this out. I don't know why I'd, I never heard even heard of this. Probably because your kids had aged out. Yeah. I mean, Nick was 12. He would have probably liked it. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:38:09 He probably would have. My kids loved it. Wow, weird. All right. I'm going to definitely check that out. It's on Tooby, everybody. Go check it. Stephen, we're going to talk today about a few nerdy things that have been going on.
Starting point is 00:38:20 And thankfully, there's a... More aquabats. There's a resource like major spoilers.com to help us make sense of it all. Like the Rockford Files moving forward with its mid-season replacement now, or as one. Here's the deal with this. I know you come to us today as a massive fan of the original Rockford Files. Yeah. I don't think I have a friend who likes it more than you do.
Starting point is 00:38:43 And so whenever anything happens around Rockford Files, I always either get a text from Stephen or I send one to him. We celebrate together. David Boreannis cast as Jim Rockford. It's going forward. There was some question whether it would at all, but now it is, how does superfan Steven Schleiker feel about this? Well, I am just in the almost done with my watch-through of the Rockford Files again.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Again. I'm in the middle of the sixth season. Here's the thing. As I've said before, not my first pick for Jim Rockford. Oriannis. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:20 But I'm going to wait and see how he does on the show. The guy has been nonstop working for the like last 30 years. Yeah. He's got good bones too. Yeah. Yeah. Buffy, bones, Angel, all this stuff. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:39:34 And so I, you know, his James Garner's daughter is very excited by what she's scene. And so she's online on Twitter all the time saying, oh, you know, Boreanus is, is contact me all the time asking me what my dad did and, you know, and these kinds of things, going so far as to apparently wearing the exact same cologne that Garner would wear during the production of the show. So it's, you know, it's, it seems like Boreanus is very committed to the bit. Now, whether the show is committed to the bit, that will be the interesting thing. I'll tell you what, though. Because there are certain things about the Rockford files that just do not translate to modern era.
Starting point is 00:40:12 No, I completely agree. They're going to have to figure out how to wrestle around with cell phones and, you know, just some modern things that will take away kind of the roguish element of that show. But I got to say, I got this picture of him zoomed up here. Let me get another one. Let me get one of Jim Rockford. That is a very good, like, Garner kind of look on his face. He's really kind of nailing it.
Starting point is 00:40:35 This is the era of Garner. And I, you know what? I'm kind of more convinced than ever that he's the right look for. The question will be, is the writing going to match up? Is it going to feel? That's the thing that I'm most concerned about. You know, he's still, you know, he's still out of prison for a crime he didn't commit. He's still working in Los Angeles as a private detective.
Starting point is 00:40:57 He works with the police and has run-ins with the mob. Now, whether we have characters like a father figure, whether we have an angel figure, whether we have a Beth Davenport figure, whether we have a Dennis Becker figure, I don't know. That's a big question. I would hope, but maybe they're just saying,
Starting point is 00:41:20 no, we're going to do something different here. What was the angel guy? I'm willing. It's just Angel Martin. Angel Martin. That was one of his prison pals that's always causing trouble and getting Jim into trouble.
Starting point is 00:41:32 And so a great character to have around, but does that translate to today? Yeah. I don't know. I think that, I don't know. I'm approaching this with severe case of want it to be good. Yeah, me too. I'm not cynical yet. I'm not anything.
Starting point is 00:41:48 I just need, I will wait and be ready. And then when I see it, I hope I like it. Because there's something about that old show. We've talked about this many times. It set itself apart from all the other network tripe that was out was just better characters, better, writing, better, everything than any of its competition. at the time. And I don't think anybody disagrees at that now. Like the Rockford Files is an all-time classic. The question is, can they do it again? When you look at other detective shows, yeah, when you're looking at other detective shows of the time, it really did stand out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:20 I even, you know, as I'm watching again, I'm going, you know, my grandfather used to dress an awful lot like Jim Rockford. Like same kind of suit, kind of everything. And then I remember, yeah. Yeah. And then I remember as a kid, I remember Summers, you know, at my grandparents. And that would be on every whatever night it was Friday night or whatever. And he would just love watching the Rockford file. So I think he took a lot of his stylings from Jim from Jim Rockford. Yeah, why wouldn't you? The guy's a handsome bastard.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Also, when did this crossover happen? I see Tom Selleck and him in a convertible. Did that ever happen? Oh, man, yes. Not as Magnum P.I. But as Lance White. Tom Seleck played Lance White, this guy that could never do wrong, a fellow, a fellow detective in Jim's circle. and Jim just hates him because everything goes wrong for Jim, everything goes right for Lance White.
Starting point is 00:43:13 And he's in like, I want to say, three episodes. And they are, they are brilliant episodes. All right. Well, I'm kind of all in, so let's do it. All right. Who's it? What's the network? Is it a streamer?
Starting point is 00:43:26 What are we doing? It's going to be on NBC. It'll be, comes in January 2027. It'll be on NBC and on Peacock. All right. I'm all in. You know if anybody's streaming Maverick? I always want to catch Maverick.
Starting point is 00:43:38 I have no idea. Not the movie, but the show. Yeah, right. Let's see here. I mean, the movies. Just watch right now. Movies fun. But sure.
Starting point is 00:43:48 I love that series. Because again, it's the Jim Rockford factor, which is why this all is even a question, why we're nervous at all. Looks like Stars actually has it. Stars streaming thing? Stars is streaming it. So you can get a seven-day trial with Amazon
Starting point is 00:44:03 Prime and how many episodes can you watch in seven days? Yeah. Also, if I already prime, I think it may have already demoed or already used up your free trial. Do you think they have a statute of limitations on how soon you can come? Yeah, I was going to say, unfortunately, it's not
Starting point is 00:44:17 one of those where you can just use a different email address because it's tied to your Amazon account. I mean, if you start up a new Amazon account, you could do it. Yeah, but that'd be weird, right? That'd be weird, yeah. All right, well, let's move on. That's exciting stuff. Absolutely green arrow number one arrives this week with an already
Starting point is 00:44:34 back to press, which means they have a high expectations for this. So the Absolute series doing real good. So what do we got here with this? I'm excited. So the Absolute universe over DC Comics is just around two years old, almost getting up to its two year anniversary.
Starting point is 00:44:49 That's crazy that went that fast by the way. Absolute Batman, Absolute Superman, absolute Wonder Woman, Absolute Martian Manhunter, which has got like six Eisner nominations for this year. And then what else they have? absolute green lantern, and now they have absolute green arrow. This one's going to be a little bit different because while others explore what happens
Starting point is 00:45:09 when you take away the thing that makes the hero the hero, like Batman's wealth or Superman's, you know, uh, a home kind of thing, uh, this one is looking at, uh, green arrow as kind of a serial killer or perhaps a serial killer of billionaires. And he is being tracked down by black canary. So this one is kind of like a suspense thriller kind of, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, story that people seem to really take to. It's written by Pornsack Pichoshote, I believe is how I say his last name. He did The Good Detective over at, I want to say, image comics a few years ago and won Eisner's for that, because that is just a great series.
Starting point is 00:45:48 And then Raphael Albuquerque is doing the art for the book. And those two together should make a great combination. people are very excited about this series so much so that it's going back to press even before it hits the bookshelves. That's how much demand there is. Now, the absolute books have been consistently appearing in the top 10 every month for direct market sales. And so that tells me a lot and should tell the listeners a lot about how popular this series is. Yeah, I remember there was so much consternation early on when those original designs of Batman and the giant logo. and all that.
Starting point is 00:46:27 And everybody was just like, what are we doing here? This is going to be blah blah. There's so much naysing. That is the coolest series, man. Like the Batman one alone is awesome. I love the Superman one. Actually, the only two I've read,
Starting point is 00:46:40 so I need to read the rest of these. But yeah. Oh, and the other good news is if you're, this would be a good time to get into DC Infinite because the app is, what, six months later or whatever it is for newer releases. So you can catch most of the, you know, the backed up issues on there.
Starting point is 00:46:56 We're reading Absolute Superman this week on the major spoilers podcast. I believe it has three volumes out already, but we're just reviewing the first six issues, which kind of introduces you to Superman in this absolute world. Yeah, that's awesome. I'm excited. Absolute Green Arrow, number one, happening. Wait, did you give us a date?
Starting point is 00:47:16 It's this week. It's out on Wednesday. All right. Right. Breaking news. Torn from today's headlines. Right. Marvel at Midnight line.
Starting point is 00:47:26 launches in September. Can't give Marble. We've got to give them a fair shake today. Sure, with them. Yeah, we've got to throw on some Marvel stuff. I mean, Brian would be very sad if I didn't talk about it. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Your quote is now fulfilled. What do we got coming from them? So Marvel has ended its ultimate line and is now launching a Marvel at midnight line, which is supposed to be a more horror slanted series, a lot darker than what you might see. And again, it may be a reaction to DC's absolute line doing so well.
Starting point is 00:47:59 But in this one, we are relaunching with three titles beginning in September with X-Men at Midnight. And X-Men at Midnight imagines a world where the X-Men are all vampires instead of humans, and they also have powers. But they are fighting even bigger, badder vampires with the humans stuck in the middle. So that will launch in September. That seems all right.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Then in the Fantastic Four at midnight, you know, super scientist decides to go out into outer space and they come back in a almost like a body horror transformation kind of tale. And they're going to explore maybe more of a Lovecraftian body horror tales over on Fantastic Four. We don't have the full descriptions yet, but that's kind of what it, what it leans to in the early descriptions. And then in October, we have Spider-Man at midnight. And this one is basically, what if Peter Parker is literally transformed, not unlike Bruntlefly, and has to go and fight OzCorp to keep them from turning other people into crazy mutated, half, you know, creatures have half. How does it separate itself from something like that?
Starting point is 00:49:17 Is it manspline? There's a, isn't there a run of where? He's a man spider, yeah. Man spider, yeah. Kind of like man bad. At the time when Peter Parker had like eight, you know, four arms or eight arms or whatever it was. Yeah, yeah. But this is different than that.
Starting point is 00:49:28 They're going for more of a. I hope so. Yeah. They're going for, it sounds like it's just like they're, it's like mixing horror with everything. Horror. Yeah. And this time, you know, if you go out, open your door this afternoon and you just peek out for a second, you'll notice that things are kind of scary in the world. And it's when we have a bunch of unververend.
Starting point is 00:49:49 rest and odd times and uncertainty in the world that this is genre, horror, rourer, uh, tends to be more popular. Yeah. And so we're seeing every single comic book publisher now has some kind of scary book line that's out. And this is Marvel's, uh,
Starting point is 00:50:09 attempt to get in on that action. Yeah. That's great. I always liked the, what was the, they did a little kind of like black label a while ago. Marvel did. It was called.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Oh, epic. Not epic. I mean, you're thinking of Marvel, Marvel, that was a while ago. It's, yeah,
Starting point is 00:50:24 it was quite a while ago. Yeah. People were mad because they dropped it and they were like, oh, it's a Disneyfication of Marvel now,
Starting point is 00:50:31 because it was after the purchase and all that. And then, or then DC comes around with black. Mm-hmm. They never really brought Vertigo back or did they?
Starting point is 00:50:40 I don't know what happened. They have brought Vertigo back. Vertigo is officially back. They have titles for that that are doing well. Good. It would have been nice if they hadn't got rid of Vertigo
Starting point is 00:50:49 to begin, with, but when have corporations use their common sense and just looked at the money are they given the shareholder? Exactly. Really good point. But I'm glad to see these come back because there's just some really interesting stories to tell that are a little darker, a little twisted, but in the pantheon of the characters we love, and I'm, you know, the absolute series is like that for me. It's like just go nuts, dude. Oh, it's so good. I hope some of that stuff makes it to the DCU, maybe not the you, not DCU in general, but like maybe, I don't know, animate absolute Batman or something. I would imagine that we are going to get animated adaptations of these.
Starting point is 00:51:28 If you think of the pipeline that's going on very strongly now, now DC animation has always, or Warner Brothers animation has always been doing a lot of adaptations of DC properties. They haven't done any in a while, which makes me think that they are changing their direction and going the absolute route. But, you know, you look and see what happens with the invincible, animated series and the impact that that's having on invincible sales. And you look at really any anime that's out there and how that leads into increased interest in manga sales.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Right now, I think we're going to see more comic book publishers looking at ways that they can get that pipeline into, let's get an animated series that's an adaptation of our works, out in front of audiences. Let's make it really good so that they'll go back and buy all of our back issues, trade paperbacks, et cetera. And so that's going to be a lot of discussion that you're going to hear probably at the San Diego Comic-Con, if not sooner. I know there's rumblings of that going on now. And as far as the Absolute Edition lines, I think we're going to find out.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Scott Snyder has been talking about what happens after Absolute Batman ends, if it ends. So there's plans in place to keep that going. But animated adaptations of these, certainly possible in the next three years. Well, watch for it, folks. I think we will, and I hope we do. you got James Gunn over there poking everybody in the eye going hey do this thing and they've been working you know it's been working so keep it going uh Stephen always a pleasure
Starting point is 00:52:56 I know major spoilers.com now resolves to the site which is fantastic yep and you guys should be over there you should be supporting that effort because it's an institution at this point for nerds and comic book fans 20 years in July crazy dude wow congratulations that's cool awesome we'll talk more about that in July and really make people sick of us. Anyway, anything going on over there you want people to know about?
Starting point is 00:53:21 Yeah, so going on right now, a couple of major comic book pirate sites went down last week, whether they went down by a takedown or whether there was other issues that's going on. But the comic book industry is all about wanting to talk about piracy of their wares. And so today I have written, I think, an article that Brian will appreciate where we look back at what happened the last time piracy was a big issue and we look at the RIAA versus Napster. This is one of those time as a flat circle kind of things.
Starting point is 00:53:55 What goes around comes around but this time instead of paying attention to the lessons of the past the comic book industry has decided to not pay attention and that's why people are talking about comic book piracy is ruining the industry again. Well, a great excuse to go and support long form writing once again. The internet is too short form. Let's go get it back.
Starting point is 00:54:16 And support major spoilers.com in all of these efforts. It's good stuff. Stephen, I hope your week is great. Is there anything else we should do to just maintain? Oh, yeah. Especially if you've been sick, you need to stay hydrated. Oh, well, you know what? That's my internet doctor told me is stay hydrated.
Starting point is 00:54:33 I can't find your, there it is. Bye. All right. Delaying there a little bit. Hey, guys, we got to the part of the show where we read your emails. And they're going to have. We send them. We read them. Yep, that's the rule. This is about the jugs of pee.
Starting point is 00:54:49 And Scott Taskin says, good morning, Bob and Sacramento. Okay. I'm not quite sure of that. We'll see if it takes us there. That's a good parallel. Yeah. Yesterday, we talked about kids pulling their baby teeth out. I wanted to share a story of my daughter losing her last baby tooth. We were walking through the park and she sneezed her tooth out. We spent a few minutes looking for it. Never found it. That's all I have. Love the show, though.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Says Scott Taskin. Oh, Scott was the guy that won today, isn't it? No, he came in second. He played today. Oh, right. He won a prize. You're all winners to us. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:55:23 I wonder if that's the tooth you found. Is it your park? Oh, yeah. Are you here in solid? You don't live in South Jordan, Utah, do you? By chance, because I found a tooth. We found your tooth. No, that's funny.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Like, that is how you're supposed to let them fall out naturally, but you also want to avoid them, like, choking on it while they're eating or something. Exactly. Right. You don't want it to fall out while you're sleeping or something like. that. So a sneeze is a good way to do it though. Yeah. Yeah. It becomes a projectile. It becomes a weapon.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Projectile tooth. Yeah. Julie says, hey Scott and Brian, I recently got back into listening to the show and forgotten how much I enjoyed listening to it. But we're always here. So just come on back. Yeah. Says I'm usually a day behind or so. So I can have it on when, oh, when I start work at 6 a.m. In episode 3,07, you mentioned a German version of Cheers, which got me looking around.
Starting point is 00:56:14 One of my favorite things to find is foreign language versions of intro songs. Ducktails is a great one in several languages. So that said, here's a link to the German language version of the Cheers intro. Oh, wow. Okay, cool. So we're going to hear this. It's in... Making your way in the world today! I was worried about it.
Starting point is 00:56:35 It takes everything you got. Let's see what this actually is here. It's still Boston. I'm going to hear a second. So hold on a second. So it's the cast. So it's the cast. Right. Like, they're all are. So this is just the translation over there. Like the... Right, right. So they're watching the same show we are, but it's just dubbed in German. Yeah. That's amazing. Prost Helmut. Prost Helmut.
Starting point is 00:57:25 Prost Helmut. Anybody with the name Helmut is my friend. I love it. All right. Well, thank you for sharing that with us. You want to go where everybody knows your nine. Yeah. Which is no.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Everybody knows your nine's your name. We love the Germans. Other than those two World Wars, you guys are great. We love you. Yeah, yeah. All right, that's it for the show. Big. We need some German food tonight.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Going to trivia at a place called. Prost, oddly enough. Prost, but not Prost helmet. You talked about this. You guys are getting the good stuff. We are. Real schnitzel and everything. Yeah, but it's the last night of trivia at this place.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Like maybe for the summer, so maybe they'll be back in the fall. But yeah, it's looking forward to some good old German food. Some pickled red cabbage. That is my jam. Give me all the pickled red cabbage you have. It's amazing. I would not dare eat that this week. But if I was in full constitution.
Starting point is 00:58:22 I would eat the hell out of that cabbage. Yeah. All right. Well, I know I was going to tell people. The Monday show is at 5 today. Wow, it's a late Monday show. For a very good reason. And I won't tell you why because she doesn't want me to say anything.
Starting point is 00:58:37 But maybe it during the show, she'll say something. Interesting. Carter's got some fantastic news. Let's put it that way. And I'll let that just hang in here. Oh, my God. She's getting married. No, it's not that.
Starting point is 00:58:47 Today at 1 o'clock, and that's why the show is having to get pushed. That's amazing. And I'm performing it. And they let me. here because I got that card. No, that's not what's happening. Amazing news. Amazing. It's all very exciting. We'll get more, hopefully more into it today at 5 p.m. She's over here hearing me now, so I'm not sure why she's not protesting, but it's fine. Anyway, that's later today. You find all the schedule and whenever it changes, you'll see it live
Starting point is 00:59:09 and on, you know, when it happens over at frogpants.com slash schedule. And our website, of course, is frogpans.com slash TMS. Get your music requests in like Brian asked. Give them that rundown one more time, just to make sure they all know what to do. Talkpants.com slash TMS. Get those requests in and fill up these two weeks between Memorial Day and D-Day, really, is what it is. Between Memorial Day and D-Day, give me your requests. Yep, get it in. Let's do a song, speaking of songs right now. What do you got? Yeah, Paul wrote in and said, this is just another random cover to play whenever you want to. Today I want to. He says, a side note for Brian, if you see this before going to Logan, Utah. I know you're planning on, quote, unquote, cleaning the sink at Angie's. I don't know if I really am. That's a thought, but that is like a, what, a 14 scoop ice cream thing with whipped cream nuts, bananas, fruit. It's a beast. Hot fudge, whatever. It's an institution, but it's a beast. I personally would, it would wreck me if I did that. Yeah, I think it would wreck me too. He says, it's a lot. It's good. And I still have my bumper sticker proving I completed the task. Good for you. But if you're only going to eat ice cream at one place, Aggie ice cream on the Utah State University campus is the best ice cream I've ever had. I would suggest going there to try Aggie Blue Mint, Space Debris or Lemon Custard. Yeah, supposed to be,
Starting point is 01:00:29 or not supposed to be, I've had it. It was forever ago, but it's incredible. Another instance. For some reason, you know why? Because it's kind of dairy country out there. Yeah. They're the Aggies for a reason. It's an agricultural school, or that's what the origins were. And the dairy farms are plentiful. So everybody makes the best ice cream somehow up there. I don't know. Interesting. Well, cool. I'm all over it. He says also Tanduri oven is a surprisingly good Indian
Starting point is 01:00:51 restaurant and worth trying i haven't heard of that either i says either way i hope you enjoy a long ass bike ride through cash valley yeah we'll see i will say that this year just because of everything else i'm doing uh the training rides have been tough and even when i do like four or five days in a row of training rides i am still winded on the fifth day from the same length ride that i did on the first day like i am not i'm not ramping up as quickly as i have in previous years and it's frustrating me but I'm still on it, still doing it. Still going. Yeah, and make sure you get a,
Starting point is 01:01:24 if you have not yet donated, the MS-150, remember I'm raising money for the Colorado team, which is A-N-2-Prout-Agg, and some of the A-2-Proud-Praud-Agg members are going to join me in Logan, Utah. Oh, I didn't know that. That's great.
Starting point is 01:01:40 Uncle George and Aunt Barb, our leader, Steve, a couple other people, they're like, yeah, we'll do it. So tiny.ccc-c-bike Coverville. $5 donation, $10 donation, $50, $100, whatever you can do is appreciated. None of that money goes to me, just goes to research to end MS, which I think we will see in our lifetime. That would be wonderful. Also, maybe we should get Indian food while you're out there after the ride.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Maybe after the ride. After the ride. Not during. After, no, not during. Not before. After. All right. Let's get to Paul's request.
