The Morning Stream Don't F-Wit with a babysitter Hello everybody. Welcome to TMS. This is the morning stream for May 21st, 2026. I'm Scott Johnson. That is Brian Ibitt.

Hi. Hello there. On the eve of his trip to Vermont. That's right. 24 hours from now, I will be at the airport. probably getting ready to board pretty soon. Yeah.

Yeah. What are you, Southwest? What are we taking? United for this one, because Burlington Airport has like 12 gates. Yeah. And very few, like if I want to do Southwest,

I think there'd be like a connecting flight, and I think I could only fly on certain days of the week. But United, boom, right there. One, nonstop, four and a half, our flight, I think it is. Yeah, not too bad. No. And you'll be back in, what, milk and cheese country, sort of is, a lot of dairies up there?

It is, yeah, yeah. A lot of dairies. The Ben and Jerry's factory is right there, so I'm assuming while I'm there, I'll go tour. I've already done the tour. How was it? What is that like? Describe that. It's cool. It's really cool. It's like they, they show you, like, all the processing of, uh, of the milk and how, like, they don't put any extra, um, additives and things like that.

Here's our wall of discontinent flavors and our chunky monkey and here's the first doobie that Ben and Jerry ever smoked together at a Grateful Dead show. Was it like an actual little blunt? Like a little... I'm kidding about that part. It's just a very...

But it is a very like Ben and Jerry's thing, right, to have that, you know, have a little dube. A little duby. A little dupe. A little dupe. Pass it on the right. Left-hand side, I think. That's right. Exactly. I think that's how that song went. But there's no seeing Ben or Jerry there right there. You don't see. You can. I think I don't think, well, I think you could back in the day.

I don't even know, are they just board members? I even think that one of them got bought out and is no longer. Yeah, I think Jerry might be doing his own thing now. Maybe, maybe he's just doing like, what do you call that? Activism stuff. He's just, yeah. Those guys are, you know, I'll give them this. They are basically the same exact hippies they always were. They really haven't changed all. Yeah, very philanthropic and very, you know, they, they stood their ground on like additives and getting bought out by a bigger company that was going to change the formula or something. I mean, they, they, yeah, there it is. They both, oh, TVZGone says they both sold out and wanted to buy it back from the crappy corporate scumbag.

So apparently they're, they're, you know, keeping it away from corporate. only went to a point and now they regret it. Now they want it back. Somebody probably convinced them that they're going to do all these, they're going to jump over hoops to carry on the legacy. Yeah. And then they're not. And it's like,

in corners or whatever. Shit. It's like they're not using real milk. That's a bummer, yeah. A little tiny bits of plastic in the chunky monkey or something. It's chunky. It's right. Microplastics chunky monkey.

It's great. Num, num, numb, numb. Well, anyway, that'll be a fun trip. I'm excited to hear how things go. we will be all things willing. TMS will carry on next week from

bringing this here mic and my stepmom diane has a mic stand got a little holder for the mic like a little cage got a cable set aside taking the roadcaster duo taking these here headphones so just in case the microphone doesn't work I can pull this guy down and use that

if I need to make it work sure Yeah. I figure it out. I don't. It probably doesn't even need to be said, but as somebody who, um, I hate that process of like getting everything ready. We talked about a pre-show a little bit. Oh, God. I know.

So just so you know, it is, it is understood and appreciated that you have to go with this. It is, uh, super stressful. I, I, I, you know, there are worse things in life, but, you know. Right. Right. No. You're not wrong. Yeah. You're not wrong. It's, it's, it's just stressful. It's like,

I don't, you know, I don't, uh, I don't want to get to the airport or to Vermont and say, oh, completely forgot, you know, this thing that I need to be able to sleep or this thing, this medicine I need to take every day or this other, you know, it's like there's so many things. Yeah. But, uh, but by golly, like, will I forget my switch to? No, no, I won't forget that. No, no, no, no. Gaming will be covered. Gaming will be covered.

But I'm even thinking, because I'm doing Demio weekly with Barry and DJ George and Adam Christensen, like, do I take the, I don't have the game on anything but the meta quest. So I can either say, nope, I'm out for the next three weeks because of, you know, Nurtacular. Or I can say, yep, I'm taking it and I'll have this meta headset to use for the rest of the time I'm there. I wonder if the account progress is tracked across. I don't know. I was thinking about that. Like, all right, I could spring the 20 bucks for, for Demio on Steam, but yeah, that's the question. Steam deck version runs really well.

It also runs in VR if you have a, you know, you're doing headsets on Steam, but it has, has really, you know, perfectly good on a Steam deck, for example. But I don't, I don't know if it carries over, so that would suck. How does that work? Does, can I, I can't play Steam games on the MetaQuest. It has to just be like games made for MetaQuest, right? No, no, you can. You absolutely can.

So you can do one of two things. You can either do the mirroring option, which is best with a really fast internet connection. Or you can tether it. Either way, though, any games capable of, in fact, in Steam, it will say, it will explicitly say headsets supported. And one of them is always the quest. Okay. All right. I like this.

Good. Oh, yeah. There's 10. It's the only way. In fact, Bo has a Quest 3 and he doesn't play any quest games. He only plays Steam games on his quest. Yeah, that might be the way I go. forward. It's pretty cool. Yeah. Because then,

because I bought platformate the sequel to Exitate and I don't think it's a virtual on Steam. Might be. Usually those are, usually if they are 2D and well, they'll tell you on there, I guess.

I don't think the sequel, I don't think they made a 3D version of it. A VR. Let me take a look. Yeah. A VR version. Steam powered. What is it called? Platform 8. I'm curious about that. I want to play that one too, and I haven't grabbed it yet.

Too many games right now. Nothing says, yeah, full controller support Xbox controllers. Does not see anything about... Yeah, it would say VR. Over there on the left corner, a right corner or a sidebar, I would say. VR? Yeah, nothing in the... Well, the other thing to remember, the only other thing to remember about this

is when you do use your quest on... desktop hardware, the game processing part is no longer happening on the headset. It's happening on your PC. So that's where you want the power to be. Exactly. So you want a decent video card, that kind of stuff to push the polys for the higher-end games. All right. So let's see.

I'm taking the Mac laptop. But because this game is not on, so yeah, there's no way for me to play it virtually unless I have a PC there with me. Yeah, and that's a nightmare. You don't want to do that. Of course I don't want to do that. If the Steam deck version worked, you'd still, it's all multiplayer and everything.

I think that's crossplay. The crossplay part is true. I just don't know if your account stuff moves over or not. So that would be the question. Like, could I take the Steam deck and somehow VR headset, MetaQuest headset, through the steam deck. That would be the question, right?

Oh, good news. You're playing the X Dungeons and Dragons version, right? Battlemarked? Is that the one you're playing? It's for Mac as well. So, I play your own book. Get out. Yep.

Oh, well, I still have to buy it on. You still have to get it on Steam, no matter what. I have to get on Steam, but the question is, will the account transfer over? Yeah, you'd stop to buy it on the thing and you'd have to see if it was. Oh, 40 bucks, too. Is it? Oh, it shouldn't be, is it? Or 3999.

Let's see. Mine says 2999. Oh, really? Why is it different? Oh, there it is. I'm sorry. I was looking at regular Demio. Demio is 3999.

Demio Dungeons and Dragons. Battlemarked is 2999. Gotcha. Let's see. Cross platform multiplayer. It doesn't say anything about whether your account is cross. Cross account. That would be really great.

That would be. If it was, that'd be great. Yeah. I'm not sure it is. Can somebody look that up for me while we do a podcast? Yeah, well, we're making a podcast. Maybe Stephanie, because she's probably losing her mind right now. Yes, exactly.

She hates this stuff. I know. It's great. I got an ethics question to present to you and to the listening audience. Okay. We don't often do ethics questions here on the show, at least not. Oh, I love ethics question. Overtly, anyway.

Now, there are like three or four people that I am in contact with at the event space, who I'm working with for the Nurtacular stuff. And as we get closer, things are ramping up. And so there's a lot of back and forth. And there's somebody on this exchange. I'm not going to say their name. or even their gender or anything else. I'm just going to say one of these people

who seems nice. I haven't actually met this one person, but maybe that would help. But in all of the back and forths, everything's been normal, lots of group emails, blind CCs, also just regular CC copied people. So we're all used to having a back and forth

and communicating. But for some reason on this email yesterday, this particular person who's in charge of one aspect of the event for us, called me Perry in the email. Really? Yeah, like P-E-R-R-R-Y, Perry.

Perry, yeah. And here's the ethical question. Yeah. Do I go, like in a conversation with somebody, this is actually the same question. If somebody's talking to you go, so listen, Bill, and your name isn't Bill, what is the thing you do,

especially if they're kind of a stranger to you? Yeah. Do you just let it slide? How do you correct them? Sure. Or do you? The longer you wait. It's like, it's like, it's Mulva, basically.

Yeah, it is Mulva. The longer you wait, the, the more embarrassing it becomes for both of you when you eventually have to correct them. So maybe next time you're on the phone with them, you say, oh, by the way, you might have, I might be wrong, but it sounds like you might have called me Perry at one point. Yeah. Is that, you know, does there somebody else you know that's extremely handsome that's named Perry? Yeah. And that kind of makes the joke, lets them off the whole. hook and then. See, the thing that makes

this weird is it's an email. And an email do you say, oh, I'm sorry. I thought this was over her phone. No, no, no. It's not even a conversation. In fact, although it may have happened if I called her, she may have said the same thing. Sure. But since she said it in the email, probably just to oversight, she's

thinking of something else. Who knows? Yeah. Oh, I just said she. Damn it. Anyway, it doesn't matter. It's, I'm not going to docks this person. Just reduce the number of people it could possibly be by half. Yeah, 49% have left, right? Isn't that still the deal for 51% women? Still the deal, yeah.

Anyway, you just basically say, just reply back and say, oh, I don't know if you might have been thinking of somebody else, but you called me Perry in that last email and my name is Scott. And you know, do something to make it a joke so that, you know, it doesn't sound like you're admonishing her for doing that

because, again, tone is so hard to send over email so you want to make sure it's like by the way i'm scott but you know a lot of people think i look like perry mason so i get it yeah i mean actually perry mason might be a good reference i was thinking about like okay perry or perry white's too nerdy right plus plus perry white looks different in every iteration yeah so get in here kent i need that article by five or whatever yeah that wouldn't have had a couple perry mason perry mason katy perry mason katy perry perry ferrell Perry Farrell. Red Froggle says,

Perry the platypus. I don't even know who that is. I don't know who that is either. But yeah, I think I'm gonna, it's just different. That's what to me made this weird is it's an email where my name's everywhere

in this chain. Like I'm all over the thing. Right. And that's why I think it was just a like, oh yeah, no, we're also working with somebody named Perry and I copied and pasted a section

of that email into this one because they've got a similar thing coming up in August, blah, blah. I mean, there's so many, so many reasons it could happen that she knows your name, but this Perry thing was just an accident on the other, on the other side of things. And I, I do think we have a call coming up. So what I might do is just go, oh, there you go, oh, you made me laugh last time.

You called me Perry. She goes, I did. And I'll go, yeah, you know what? I got it. I got it. I can hear it now in my head playing out. I can manage this. It'll be okay.

You got this. You can say, yeah, I haven't been called. I was a lawyer on a 50s television show. Yeah. Let's see how that goes. And if this girl, I don't know how old she is, what if she turns out to be like 20 and she'd be like, I don't know what that is.

Perry who? Right. She's the new Perry Farrell is. Even Perry Farrell is an old reference. Like who's a new current Perry, first name is Perry? Scrubs Perry maybe. The doctor,

what's his name is Perry? What's his last name? The Antegg. Huh? Cox. Perry Cox. Dr. Cox. I want to hear in Carter in the background.

Cox! Cox! As loud as you can. Yeah. Who else? Who's another current, current popular person named Perry? I mean, obviously Matthew Perry.

Katie Perry, yeah. I can't think of any others. Perry Como, probably also. Luke Perry. Tyler Perry, Linda Perry. Hey, look at Luke Sidewalker, just catching up on Perry Mason. It's very quick of you, Luke. But it's funny that Perry the Platypus is coming up a lot,

and I don't, like, Red Fraggle knows who that is. I don't think we know who that is. Yeah, she says it's from Phineas and Ferb, and I've never seen Phineas and Furb, not even once. And I know for some of that's sacrosanct thing, like it's one of Disney's. So you have Cartoon Network and you have Disney, and you have the weird indie cartoons each makes.

And Phineas and Ferb is considered, the greatest, if not one of the greatest, the Disney channel ever produced. But we were so Cartoon Network family. Finney's and Furb just didn't, it just doesn't track for us. Yeah, no, no, we missed that. I hear it's great, though.

I mean, no complaints. I would love to watch it sometime. All right. Here's funny thing right here. So a year ago, less than a year ago, Ranker had the celebrity list. Who is the most famous Perry in the world? All right.

How long do you go in this list before you recognize the names in this list? Oh, I can't wait to hear this. Let's do it. Link is in your, okay. I can give you a link or I can, I'll just go down. Number one. Perry Watkins. No idea.

African American gay man, one of the first service members to challenge the ban against homosexual and the United States military. Important person, but I'm ashamed to say. know him by name. Never heard of him. Okay. Second, Perry Belmont, who lived from December 28th, 1851 to May 25th, 1947, American politician diplomat.

That is our number two, Perry. Great, great-grandfather of Veronica Belmont. No, I have no idea. Exactly. No idea. Perry Ellis. Oh, no, that's familiar. Hold on.

Yeah. Fashion guy. Yes, very good. Is that right? Designer. Yep. Sports Warehouse. Like, you can remember 80s clothes that said Perry Ellis.

We're getting, we're slowly getting closer. Also, if I remember right, famously, maybe, I could have this wrong, but he was famously gay and out and in a time where nobody was or something like that. It doesn't say that in his bio here, but yeah, I'm pretty, pretty sure you're right. Yeah, I don't know why I have that memory. Perry Robinson. No idea. American jazz clarinetist and composer.

Perry Miller Adato, American documentary film producer from the, from born in 1920. Wow, no. Perry Saturn. American professional wrestler. No, definitely don't know that. Perry Saturn. Definitely don't know then. Perry King.

Feels like we should know Perry King, right? Perry King. No. It just feels like such a common name. Nope, don't know. Actor, film, and TV in the 70s and 80s. Perry Kramer. Perry Kramer.

Former American old school professional bicycle motor. cross racer. Sure. You can tell me it was a farmer and I believe you. Everybody gets a paragraph, right? Except you get to number nine, Perry Brass. And it just says Perry Brass is a writer. Oh, man. And he was very

succinct in everything he wrote. Apparently didn't write this. Yeah. No, he didn't. He didn't get very verbose with his freaking, what is it? Ranker. Oh, yeah, it is rancor. Yeah, ranker. Number 10, Perry Jones the third. Okay, hold on. Okay. That's somewhat familiar.

baseball maybe baseball no but basketball oh sports but professional basketball player for versus sport of the Turkish Super League but he also played college basketball for Baylor do you do you watch the Turkish I don't watch any international

you know how all those guys end up either falling out of the NBA or don't quite get it whatever they end up going to play in Europe and stuff I don't really follow any of it, but I always find it fascinating when somebody got bumped there. Some of them make more money than these NBA players do because of where they're

going. And for some reason, that guy's name was, at least in sports. I still may be thinking of somebody else, but... Perry Fenwick, English actor who appeared in Casualty, EastEnders, and Mon Lisa. I have to believe you on that. I've known. Perry McCarthy, a British racing

driver who drove for the Andrea Mota team in Formula One in 1992. Sure. And then finally number 13 the first one that I really I mean yeah Perry Ellis yes but barely Perry Farrell number 13 the 13th most famous Perry he should have well that just says how old we are dude that's what that is totally does that should be higher the list what if somebody came and took a dump in your tub it's best thing he ever said oh peri stevens Perry tuttle Perry more Perry Bumanti Perry Lopez Perry Moss Perry Stevenson, Perry Hills, Perry Kemp.

Does a Perry gather no moss as it rolls down a hill? Yeah, that's right. Perry and Duck. I have no idea, dude, who any of these people are. And that tells you something. Also, this lady at Freak and Marriott must know somebody named Perry because she swapped me out for him. Totally, yes, exactly. And I'm going to, I'll report back if it's weird or storyworthy, but I'm going to mention it.

We'll see what happens. Definitely. Definitely. Speaking of which, I also misheard something today. Oh, no, yesterday. Oh, good. I'm out in the yard. Kim's doing amazing stuff with the planting and the greenery and the whatnot already, even in this weird May with weather jumping around.

It's all looking real nice. I love sitting out there. So I'm out there in the sun. I got the dog over there. I got my phone out and I'm reading a book. And I'm just taking a minute for myself. This is all before Dunaway and I had to kick it last night because that went on for like three hours. Play Retro.

Wow. Okay. So I'm out there just kind of taking a breather. And my neighbor who barely ever talks to us, the one I always bring up lately that may or may not be a big deal in the new hockey team. Anyway. And I've never gotten tickets from him. It's French Canadian.

And we've been very nice. And they're fine. They just aren't. They just don't want to get to know anyone. And it's fine. That they want to be that way. So whatever. They want to be secluded.

Yeah. Totally fine. I respect it. I'm not one of those neighbors is going to bug you. So I'm sitting there. and I'm scrolling through my book, and I also have some music playing. It's very light, though,

just kind of thinking, studying music. And then I hear him on his back porch go, Scott! Like that. Okay. And I went, I went, blah. Yeah.

He's, is he calling me? It can be. Yeah, that's weird. It feels like, out of nowhere, feels like a very abrupt way to say.

Yeah, and I don't even know if he knows my first name. Like, right. And point. Yeah. He knows he lives next to the Johnson's. Maybe he knows Kim because she brought food once.

But he doesn't really know my name. So I was like, I'm going to take this slow. I'm not just going to go, what? Yeah. Yeah? First time, you're giving me tickets? What's going on? So I go over to the fence.

It's too late now. We lost. But, you know, next year. Yeah. We did okay, though. We actually, you know, we put up a fight. Well, it's good. I mean, it's good to see that the team didn't have any guilty feelings

about stealing that name from Colorado. a lacrosse team that would have affected. I guess maybe that did affect their play, but whatever. Yeah, whatever. To the guilt. Absolutely. Maybe the guilt. Maybe you can live with that kind of guilt.

I don't know. Yeah, maybe. And then literally stealing the team from Arizona from the Phoenix Coyos or whatever they were. Right. Yes. But anyway, so I sneak to the fence low. So he can't see me. I just, I'm curious because I'm thinking, this is.

I'm hearing the violin strings getting plucked as you make your way over there. Exactly. And I don't want to get. I don't know how to put this. I don't want it to be weird. If he didn't say my name, it's going to be weird because we're not that close. So if it was somebody I was close with,

like the guy that lived there before, I would have said, Mike, did you just yell my name? And he go, no. Okay, that was weird. Anyway, see you guys next week or whatever. So I sneak over to the fence and I crane my head over just a little bit.

And he says it again, but he says it right to a dog's face. He's like bent over. Oh, this is great. I think they have a dog with my name. If they have a dog named Scott, I love this. Next door to a human name Scott. And I don't know, it's not one of those Scotty dogs.

It's a different kind of dog. Sure, sure. So I think the name of that dog might be Scott. Could be Spot, but who names their dog Spot? Come on. Oh, yeah, right. That's a cartoon. In this day and age.

Yeah. Who uses Fido? Come on. What is it? The 1950s? What do we do? Right. Crazy.

Yeah. I mean, that was a great time for white people. Great time. I just like to make the point that the 50 or not what people think it was. No, they really are. But anyway, so that was a weird thing and I just kind of let it go. Excellent. Oh, I think we're in for a whole summer of, Scott, don't poop there.

Oh, I wasn't pooping. I wasn't pooping there. Oh, you mean your dog. Yeah, I can't mean. That's great. Well, guys. Tell them the name Perry is a really good one for a dog. I'm going to tell him.

Change it to Perry and he'll go, wee, we, poo. And then that'll be. Perry. Perry. All right. We're going to do this right now if I can find it. Where's the lady? Where'd she go?

I lost her. Hold on. Where's my, eat my pants? Oh, here it is. Would you not eat my pants? Ah! Okay.

I even highlighted it and I went blind to it. All right. We're going to try the milk chocolate version of these Tony's chalk. Chocco. Sorry. Choccolony. How do you say that? Choccolonle lonely.

Choccal lonely? Choccal lonely. Yeah. Well, that makes me... Don't be lonely. Have a chocolate lonely. I don't know. I feel about that.

Oh, Hello Kitty Pez. A quick shout out. Also, I got another one of our Pez is in the mail. Nice. Did you get some wood Bitcoin? Let's see. Not this time. I did last time.

Okay. Okay. I got some wooden Bitcoin and then this brand new. And this is a full body... A bunch of stickers. Full body. What's her name? Oh, interesting.

Hello, Katie. Not just the head. Yeah. Both of mine are head only. Yeah, it's weird. But I like the variety. I like the variety. Well, now that's the only voice I'm ever going to hear when I see.

Yeah, that's actually... And you know, what is Hello Kitty, Scott? It's a cat. It's not. It's a little girl. Oh, right. We did this. We talked about this.

It's the most bizarre thing. The whole world of those creatures are not what you think they are. Right. Yeah. They may as well be Pokemon. Because when I see this, I think, yep, that's a little girl. That's a little girl who was transformed. into a cat by an evil wizard.

Something like that. All right. We shall eat these now. It's like gift. Gift. Oh, I hate gift, Jeff. All right, here we go. Take a bite.

I love the polygonal roundness of it, by the way. It's a bolt. It's like a bolt. It's like a collectible in an N64 game. You got to get them all. Mmm. That's good milk chocolate. Oh, man.

Much as I love dark. I typically prefer. Yeah, same. Occasionally. The right and like good milk chocolate? like from Europe and stuff. Yep. So good.

This is really good and old chocolate. Oh, shit. American chocolate could learn a thing from Tony. Yeah. Where's Tony now? Can we get a hold of him? A little Tony action. Hot Tony action.

Hey. Where's your Tony now? My favorite thing that happened yesterday. I don't remember why. Oh, we were talking about the concert you went to. And the band, the ska band, you like would throw out inflatables and people would serve them and stuff. Oh, you got yours.

Freaking giant pizza slice showed up today from Pacholic. Did you get one too? Awesome. If I'd have had time or coordination, and I didn't even think about it. I should have called you. We'd blow them up and have them on the show. You are perfect. That'd be hilarious.

But it's so big. It's like. It's big, dude. No, you have no idea. You saw the video of them throwing those things around. They're massive. This is not, this is the thing you want to use an outdoor pump or something to fill up. you don't want to use your breath.

You'll die. You'll die. You don't have enough breath. And we live in the Rocky Mountains. We can't be doing that. Exactly. So you've got room to hang yours from the ceiling. If I hang mine from the ceiling, it's going to hit my head.

I'm 100% going to use it, though. I'm going to figure out. It's going to give me an excuse to just change up all my shit back here and put a big pizza slice in it. I love it. I should show you what I'm currently 3D printing, by the way. Oh, I want to see. It might be pretty much. I don't mind.

Premature is okay, except one specific example. All right. When I show you the shape, I'm not going to tell you what it is, but I want to see if you recognize what this shape is part of. All right. Oh. Okay. Oh, it's, um, oh, man.

I'm not really sure. Yeah. Imagine that there's a thing here. Yeah. Imagine that on the bottom here, there's another little. part that connects like this. Okay. Oh, you're making the giant earbud.

I'm making giant earbuds. Oh! Or a giant earbud, yeah. I know how you love. It's one of my favorite things is big or little versions of things. That's exactly right. Let me find the link. Oh, shit.

Now, I'm not going to do this person who posted this video, like, they rip the battery. I'm going to put in our TMS Discord right there. This person um, here we go. Like ripped up a Lenovo battery pulled out the the battery parts and he's like doing a bunch of

soldering and stuff like that. Oh, he made it a phone. He made it a no, well he made it a Bluetooth speaker. Oh, I see. And it recharges on the bottom. Now I'm going to put a Bluetooth speaker in mine but I'm going to do it in a much a much less

involved way. I'm going to find a Bluetooth speaker that fits in there and I'm going to 3D print a mount that fits in there and then it's good. That's how and the thing will come apart. I know. How cool is that? I'm so jealous. Will it have this shiny, how do you achieve the shiny outside? You sand the crap out of it and then you

you put some filler in for the layer line or for the separator line. You can kind of see he's got a line there. A little bit of filler. Sand the crap out of it. Then drop it down to like a... Oh, the actual ones might actually have a break there. I don't have mine down here to look at it.

Which is a cool, that's a cool thing to replicate. I'm also not doing a TPU rubber ear cushion part because that's too difficult. I don't have any... I'm not going to buy white TPU just for that. Mine are not the pros. so I don't know. There is a line, but it's on the,

it's on the outer disc. Okay. But it's a, that's a different earbud anyway. That's a different earbud, yeah. But, um, anyway.

Dude, that's so rad. I got inspired to look for this to see if it existed by what's going to be my recommendal in a couple weeks. So we'll talk about that. Love it. If people are seeing this giant ear pod pro, AirPod pro,

um, and saying, oh, I know what show. Brian watched. Don't give it away. No, Don't give it away.

Look, you know what? Here's a fun fact. That's the actual, John Bernthal has this actual size earbud. That is actually John Bernthal's earbuck. Yeah, yeah, he has to have really big ones. And I'm doing, I'm doing this because I can't resin print a, a trophy for Nurtacular for All-Stars.

Somebody else is going to need to do that. But I might, if they want to work with me on design, I've got a really killer idea for the design. Nice. we'll make it happen. Yeah. Someone will come forward. Somebody needs to come forward.

Tiggis Travis, I think, said he'd do it if I, if I just get him a design. Yeah, he's got your same printer, doesn't he? Or something close. No, I don't think so. Oh, different? Okay. It's probably got a better one. I think he's probably, I've got one that prints really huge prints, which would have been perfect for the trophy,

printing a really huge size trophy. But, yeah. Well, he's a, he's a fancy boy in Pittsburgh. Well, he's a fancy boy in Pittsburgh. Fancy boy in Michigan. How do Pittsburgh and then his town, they get along okay? You guys are right out there? How do towns do in Michigan?

Isn't Pittsburgh the city of brother? Oh no, it's Philadelphia, the city of brotherly loves. Pittsburgh is the city of hate. Who's the city of unbound hatred? Them and we got the Steelers and then hatred. That's what we have. That's right. Hold on.

Who has, who's big shoulders? Is that Chicago? City of big shoulders. Because they go by, they got the windy city. They got the... Yeah. Which one is the city of big shoulders? Shoot.

Oh, they're... I can't remember. He's 250 miles from Detroit. That's like me going to St. George or something. That's like 30, that's almost 31 Eminems. That's a lot of Eminems. Yeah, it's a lot of Eminemes. Yeah.

Did you guys get it? I liked it. The city of big shoulders. Glad you appreciated that. Hold on. City of Big Shoulders has... That is Chicago. No?

The windy city is the city. Well, the city of Chicago probably has a bunch of nicknames, right? The windy city. I thought they had both. Maybe I might be. It could easily be both.

Yeah. I bet Barry's not here to tell us. He loves that. Barry. Hey, Barry. All right. Well, there's that. Thank you for the chocolate again.

LaSarch confirms broad shoulders is Chicago. Oh, okay. So they have that. They have the windy city and then there's like one other one that Chicago goes by all the time. Gotham City. Sometimes it's called. Yeah. Maybe that's what I'm thinking of.

Could be. There is a third one. I don't know. Yeah. Whether they love doesn't sound right. Oh, it's right, Luke. Whether it's true or not. Brotherly love is Philly.

Yeah. Yeah. And whether brotherly love is true or not, whether people actually love each other like brothers, I don't know. And sometimes brothers beat the shit out of each other. They do. My brother was always. Oh, Second City.

That's it, Ambassador. Oh, the Second City, which is why they call the Comedy Troop Second City. Yep. Okay. It's SCTV. Yeah. I guess that was the Toronto was also Second City. Right, but they were a satellite of the Chicago one, right?

Or was it the other way around? Didn't start? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know who's first. No, no. I don't know. I went to Second City in Chicago and it was great. That's where you get spit on by Richard Kind.

Richard Kind, yeah. Yeah. Big old Luger. No, it was like a little spittle as all it was. Nothing big. All right. Let's do some news, guys. Sure.

We got some news lined up. May as well do it. Here comes the news right here. Sorry, right here. Today's news is brought to you by. Brought you by Coverville coming up today right after TMS. So about 1030 Mountain Time at Twitch.TV slash Coverville. You're going to get some Bob Dylan.

Bob Dylan is going to be turning 85 this week. And I never shy away from doing a Bob Dylan cover story because second to the Beatles, Bob Dylan gets the most covers, right? I mean, so many people. And I've even got a little Timothy Chalamey that he did recently with two or three Bob Dylan covers

all rolled into one. He does a great job with him. Part of the movie or a separate thing he did? Separate from the movie, but while he was promoting the movie. Oh, okay. That makes sense he would do that. Yeah.

Yeah. He's got a good voice on that kid. He can do it. He does. He sounds pretty good. He's just, you know. It's just kind of weird. I don't like the weird.

Like, I don't like these, these actors that get real big when they're young. And they just kind of DeCaprio out a little bit and just kind of creep me out. They're walking around with everybody way too young. He'll keep getting older. His girlfriends will get younger or stay the same age. Like, McConaughey said. Yeah, McConaughey, but I was also thinking Decaprio. Yeah, just like that.

And it'll always be that way. And fine, his movies will be good. He'll be a great actor. But you have to be so weird. Can you just be, I don't know, whatever. Hollywood, whatever. Sorry. Anyway, Coverville. Sorry, back to Coverville. Coverville. Twitch.tv slash Coverville, 1030, the music of Bob Dylan.

Nice. Check it out, everybody. It'll be very good. Very good set of music. And I'll be playing, what you might call it. Pokemon Legends, EA, while listening to some Bob Dylan. Go all along Brian's Watchtower and check it out today. That's right. Let's see what you did there. Thank you. Let's do this story.

There is a man. Here's a man. Here's a story about a man. It's a story about a man. He was sentenced to six years in prisons for distributing meth pills shaped like Mario. Oh, no. Okay. Like Mario chewable meth.

Yeah, basically. Remember that time Captain Lou Albano dressed as Mario told kids that if they use drugs, you go to hell. Sorry, you go to hell before you die. Well, if Lou was still around, rest in peace, he'd be horrified just to see what kind of drugs are being making the rounds in the streets today. By the way, I don't think he ever said that in the character of Mario. He never said... No, I can't imagine.

It's Mario and you go to hell and die. He didn't do that. No, no. They mixed that up. But anyway, 33-year-old Ronell Rogers has been sentenced to six years in federal prison, following charges of being in possession of meth pills, but not just any. You can, as you can see above and I think there's pictures here. Oh, let me see the photo.

Oh, yeah. Yep, there they are. Sure enough, yeah. Look at that. They look at cookies. they do. Yeah, except when you see the ruler, I guess they, yeah. They are, those are meth pills.

They're shaped like Mario, which makes a horrible situation just a little bit worse, he says, or this article says. Roger's sentence was for distributing fentanyl and for violating terms of parole. Do we say fentanyl or fentanyl? What do we do? Oh, I say fentanyl, but... I do, too. Are we right? Are we wrong?

Dr. Jerry, I think it is fentanyl. Fentanyl. Fentanyl. Right. Yeah, fentanyl. But. Because it's just the NYL, right? Yeah.

Right. Exactly. Okay. I don't think there's a, I don't think there's a, a version of it that has an O.L. NOL. Well, it's nice to see Mario moving on from shrooms to full-blown meth. That's right. Right.

I don't like this, though. Here, okay. No. This just perpetuates the thing that video games are for kids. But he says, putting drugs out of the street is obviously a problem, but distributing Mets shaped like a character that children adore. Okay, but adults adore it too. I know I'm a little biased in this situation.

Come on now. But I think of the implication is that kids might be more likely to just shove it in their mouth without asking what it is. Yeah. Whereas adults who adore Mario games might be more restrictive. They look like Flintstones chewables, basically. They totally do. Yeah. When they're about that big, I'm looking at this ruler.

I think that's a quarter of an inch above each head, roughly. So they're a little more than that. Like millimeters. Oh, they like a millimeter. Yeah. Yeah, I think those are millimeters. So. Okay.

So you do like, that looks like about 10. Basically about a centimeter. Yeah. Each one is about a centimeter wide. Yeah. Is that right? Or no, is that. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 10 would be, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's not 100.

Right. Well, that's a meter. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. You had it. Right. You totally got it.

Look at us. Europeans. Woohoo. We know. Brian and I do know. Brian and I do know. because we got to do shit with centimeters and we have to do metric all the time all the time. That's why I have this ruler at my beck and call because it's a good old millimeter and pixel ruler.

Yep. And half all the digital shit I do, I do it by millimeters or centimeters. Anyway, there's that story. That's fun. He got caught though. So the pills never made it out. No kids. No kids were harmed in the making of the market.

Good. I'm glad they got it stopped before anything happened. Yeah. Yeah. Should have made them look like a Bowser, and then people would be like, oh. Then they'd be afraid of Wario. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Well, that makes sense. Yeah, Wario. It's a me. I'm going to win. I mean, he is the, you know, if there is a character in the Mario world that has taken meth, it's absolutely Wario.

Dirtnap 71 in the chat has given us fentanyl as our. Pentanil. Fentanyl. So fentanyl. But they did not put, so did Pops and Recline. Actually, a few people have put that in there. But they don't put. an accent marked. Is it fentanyl?

Oh, yeah. Fentanyl? Fientinil. That's it. You nailed it. Either way, it's funny you bring this up because Kim was watching one of her blue bloods last night. And one of the... Your mother for you. Donnie Walberg's partner touched some crime guy's fentanyl pill

and she OD in the back of her car while they were trying to go to the station. And they had a whole sub story on this whole thing, and it was pretty gnarly, actually. That show has moments of like, oh, wow, you guys went far. And then there are times you were like, this is the most white glove handling cop show I've ever seen. It's a weird mix.

Still not sure I actually like it at all. But they're parts of it I like. There are parts of it I like. Like, I think, I think, what's his handsome? Freaking. My gosh. I can't think of his name. Joe Montanena. No, a mustache.

Tom Selleck? Tom Selleck? Oh, okay. All right. Tom Selleck is great in his role and really plays this amazing kind of fatherly, conflicted, but principled man. He's very good. It's just, whatever. I don't want to talk about that show anymore. Yeah, I get it. I get it. My wife loves it.

All right. Now this one. Attempt way, empty, rather. There's no attempt. Empty way. They succeeded in doing something very poorly. You know, the Waymo cars, they drive themselves, this whole idea. Well, empty ones invade in Atlanta neighborhood and circle the cul-de-sac for hours with no passengers. They got caught in a loop. I love it.

Just going around in a circle. Pretty sure video is here. Let's see if it'll work. Oh, really? Might be blocked on my browser. Crap. It says now playing above, but that ain't right. Yeah.

Dang it. I've seen video though. It may have been on TikTok or something, but basically these cars, neighbors are filming it, but they're just looping. They just are in there. And it's just dozens. Yeah, and more coming in. Like the guy that was filming, the one I saw. Yeah. He was seeing ones that had been looping for an hour, but he, he's also filmed two more coming in. And the ones that were already looping would slow down and let the new guy in and then keep going. Wow. It was a trip, dude. This would be freaking me out, like the robot, like it's circling, uh, buzzards or something. Yeah. I don't. Waiting for our mothership to come. Have you ever been on one yet?

I've never been in a waymo. I've been in something in Vegas, but there was still a driver and then a person in the passenger seat who's doing like a little survey about how we felt about a driverless car. And I felt like saying, I'll let you know when I'm in a driverless car because this one has a driver.

It's got a guy in it. Yeah. I don't. Just in case. I know it's different per city. per state or there's laws and whatever and that's why Atlanta, Phoenix and I can't remember We're just getting them now though. Are you guys?

Getting the Waymows here in Denver. Yeah. They're being tested up north I believe. I still haven't given me good assurance on how do I know the one I'm getting into didn't have a guy just shit in the back, you know? Yeah, well there's no reassurance. I don't. I need assurance. You can absolutely take a shit in the back of a Waymo

and will the car know? How would it? I guess it Unless it's got some kind of sensors. Like, all I'm saying is I don't want to hail one and I'm in a hurry all this meetings in five minutes. Oh, thank goodness. Here comes my waymo. Open the door and you're blasted by somebody's poop.

Yeah, I mean, imagine you can just go on the app and say, this one was not clean. Give me another one. Oh, I guess that's true, yeah. You could easily do that. But, you know, part of the Uber thing, part of the reason I don't drive at night is because I don't want anybody to pick up somebody at a bar and have them throw up in my car. and there's probably no way of the service knowing if somebody's thrown up in a waymo until the next person gets in and reports there's throw up in here. Gross.

Yeah. And if you don't know right away, you may take the trip and figure it out. Oh, geez. Like if it was just a water vomit, like in the seat's just wet, you sit on it before you realize. Somebody's, you know, too many beers. This is all good for keeping me in the Uber business by the way. Let's keep spreading this rhetoric about... Let's do it.

Driverless cars are not good. No, I don't know. I mean, like, I feel like the future, this is the future somehow. This will be a thing that'll be, you know, in 20 years, no one will think twice about driverless taxi. Totally. But I got questions. And I know they got cameras and sensors and stuff inside. And the cameras are definitely there.

They have to be, you know, for legal reasons. Yeah, the cameras are in there. And that might pick up, you know, the audio or something might pick up. There might be some, like, you know, if you hear a word, weird noise, get a human customer service person to listen into it, like what they do with phone calls if certain trigger words are said, right? Oh, yeah. So it'll be like, you know, the AI is always listening, but then, oh, I heard this word, and let's get it to a human to identify the context. Maybe they'll have that for, I think somebody either is in pain or they puked,

and then somebody has to go and listen and say, oh, yeah, it's definitely puke. Take that car off the streets kind of thing. Yeah, probably a little bit of that. Maybe eventually the sensor get good enough of just knowing when stuff's wrong. A smell sensor, yeah. Yeah. The air changed. Ew. Ew.

Right. It's all of a sudden about three degrees warmer in that car. Yeah. There's the problem, though. If my sister Misha or Kim barfed in there, they'd never hear it, so the sound sensor won't work. They're dead quiet. They're quiet barfers. Now, if Brian and I barfers.

I don't know. How do you do it? I don't either, dude. How do you puke quiet? My sister Misha, when you were young, if somebody got sick or whatever, Mishu just go. That was it. just out. That's, that's, meanwhile, I'm in there sounding like there's 14 monkeys beating me up.

Like my intestines are being pulled out through my throat is the sound I make. And that seems normal to me. Right. So what are they doing? Tina, Tina's like all the same way. Like, that's it. That's the extent of the noise out of Tina. And she did it for eight and a half months when she was pregnant with Tristan, which is why we just have one.

Yeah. But, yeah, that was like, like, then she hears me puke, and she laughs because I'm so noisy. Like, what? Why do you laugh? Why do you puke so noisy? Yeah. Come on. Why do you puke so quiet?

People in Nevada seeing the little needle move and Brian pukes. Exactly, yes. Geological survey people. Exactly. It triggers everything. Seismic readings. Tell you sneeze, too, right? That's how I sneeze.

Yeah, I sneeze loud. Yeah. And she, yeah. My dad. My dad. was famous for that and I used to think there's no way I'm going to sneeze like my dad one day but no I do know poor cat jumps out of her skin when I sneeze too I always hurt my back when I do it I got to be really yeah a little bit throw it out throw it out of just slight a little tweak you know

sure sure I need to set up a second camera for the for the cat cam she's it's now a regular thing when I'm doing TMS she's curled up right here next to me nice yeah I love you I think your cat is your cat understands the assignment she totally does it's like be I don't what she's going to do for the next two weeks. She's going to be, she's going to be so sad. Yeah, what are you going to? No, Tina's going with you at one point.

No, no, well, at the, yeah. At the end, right? Yeah, but Tina will be here, but it'll just be Tina and Salem, and Salem is Tina's cat and in Nara, whose person, who's, you know, the person that calms her down

and keeps her from being a freak is, is gone. Oh, boy. Well, it's weird. This would be a, this would be a learning time. for the cat. Yes. Guys, I'm going to read you one email before we get out of here today. Please do. You may notice Wendy's not here today. I forgot to mention. Oh, we totally forgot Wendy. Oh, no. Sorry, Wendy. We'll have you on next week.

She had a flight that got changed and it went early and she had to get on it. It's something with her son's new graduate school program, something. Anyway, so she's taking care of that important stuff. She can't have a kid who's in graduate, quit making stuff up. Well, Abraham beat or beat. I graduated from just his four-year stints so quickly. He graduated under the time. I think he just ripped through whatever you had to do.

He's like a little genius boy. And I say little. He's my height and he's stacked. Really just built. He works out, but he's just massive. And he's the sweetest, most sensitive, nicest kid you've ever met. I am telling you, whatever girl matches up to what, he's going to marry is going to she has no idea how good she's got it this is the he is he walk into a

room and the entire room goes whoa he's that he's so good looking he's so massive the perfect catch kind of yeah but then he's pulling out chairs and being sweet and just nice he's like uh and his name's abraham like he's 80 that's a good point yeah they call him i mean they just call him abe but sure and he loves video games but he's not obsessive to the point that if you want to go to a play after dinner when he could be playing video games he'd rather go with you. Wow. And he's getting the master's degree.

He's got one up on me then. He's doing real good. All her kids are going to be, they're all amazing. Although the third one's a little weirdo like me, so I don't know. She's raising me with him, basically. And I think that is some funny shit. She has to do that. Yeah, for sure.

Anyway, she sends her best. Here's an email from a listener. Before I play that, though, we play this. This is about the jugs of pee. This is from Julie Stacey. It says, hey, Scott and Brian. I recently got back into listening to TMS after a few years and really enjoyed episode 2996.

It made me think of a couple of things I think you might find interesting. Glad to have you back, by the way, Julie. Yeah, welcome back. You're always welcome. Take a break, come back, whatever. Let us know if there's anything that we talk about now that we don't explain very well.

Yes, please do. First, when both of you were talking about the West Wing and talked about how, let's say, unusual the current administration is, that was a very charitable way of saying it. It made me think of an essay by Josephine Reisman. She gave a link to it, says, she talks about how modern politics, including Trump's brand, have been influenced by professional wrestling.

It's a very fascinating read, and I think you would enjoy it. I've heard on the periphery. It doesn't surprise me, first of all. I mean, the fact that they're promoting an MMA, fight for the freaking birthday thing. It's like, just like John Quincy Adams

wanted to do. Exactly. Like it fits, but also I'd heard some periphery talk about this, how a lot of what they do is modeled after that kind of flood the zone with over the topness

that you can't, it's coming so fast that you can't actually like repel it. And in a wrestling, professional wrestling situation, that makes for great story and villains and fall guys and good guys and all that.

It's why he probably likes to do nicknames for everybody. Oh, yeah. And Linda McMahon, that's right, Max Strollbot in the chat. Linda McMahon's literally our Secretary of Education, which she probably spelled wrong. I don't know. All I know, did you hear, she did a thing where she wrote a letter to Harvard, ripping on them for their policies of inclusion or something. Yeah.

And they wrote, they didn't write her back. They just sent it, they corrected the paper and sent it back like she was a student. I didn't hear about this. That made me love Harvard so much. My gosh, yes. You know, liberal bastion Harvard. Give me a break. I love that.

Conservative, all the time conservative school ever, but yet somehow it's not conservative enough anymore. But they sent this back and it was all like marked up. It says you've used the wrong spelling for the word two oh oh or T O here. This grammar's bad. And I think they graded it. I hope they did they, I hope they shared it like published it. Oh, it's out there. Yeah.

I saw it. It was awesome. Made me laugh so hard. fact that the fact that our secretary of education yeah yeah has that many mistakes that oh my god is just what what world are we living in darkest timeline indeed we're living in pro wrestling if you think about it that way it actually it doesn't make it any easier no but it makes more sense yeah it makes you go oh is this the tactics it's very brondo it's very it's very uh president uh macho camacho yep and it's

I think it works for a time. Yeah. I think we're about to see. If anything, I'm nervous. We're going to shift too hard. And then we're going to be right back in this boat again. Because whenever it shifts really wildly, it shifts really wildly back. I really need someone to go, park in the middle somewhere, please.

I mean, the old middle, not this new middle. The new middle, Overton window went, I wanted to like, yeah, yeah. You somehow turn my moderate. Scott the moderate into a psycho-liberal and I'm not. Exactly, right. Anyway. Oh, no, yeah, exactly, Red Fraggle.

I won't repeat it or else we're going to get more emails than I want. All right. Second says you were talking about Oreos. It reminded me of an older bit on college humor, now Dropout, starring Brendan Lee Mulligan and the CEO of Oreo. I haven't watched this, but I will. It's funny. It's basically, it exemplifies that Oreo has too many different versions.

of their cookies. It's like, all right, well, we got double stuff and big stuff. Wait a minute, what's the difference? Double stuff and big stuff? There's a little more stuff in the big stuff. Well, that seems dumb. And then they go through like flavors. We have strawberry and strawberry milkshake. Well, what's the difference in flavor there? Well, one tastes like a

strawberry milkshury. Does that have the consistency of the milkshake or is it a cookie? Yeah. Make up your mind. Yeah. Let me address Luke real quick. This is a very Luke thing to say. He says, you know wrestling is fake, right? M.MA fighting is real. No, we know. And if that helped Just stave off some emails great, but we know.

But they're also both testosterone-filled, freaking promotion-filled, freaking dystopic, you know, nightmares if you apply that kind of thinking to governance is all we're saying. All right? Take that, Luke. Oh, this is a bummer. The Harvard University correction thing is false. Right, which one? The correct.

The correct. It's not real? It's not real. No. I know. It bums me out so much. Nothing's real anymore. Nothing good is real.

Exactly. Everything's fake. Damn it that bums me out. Just like John Lennon's butt crack. Genormous butt crack. I'm pretty sure the letter she wrote is real and the corrections somebody made are good corrections. But it didn't come from Harvard. Because didn't she share, she shared her poop.

her the letter is public, I think. I think it's like, I think she posted the letter. I think it has to be public anyway. It's like a public correspondence government thing

unless it's top, you know, classified or something. Yeah. I think that letter's real. And I think the corrections were from somebody who knew better than her. Yeah.

It wasn't Harvard, but it was somebody, yeah. Boo. Boo. I know. That bums me out. All right.

Well, I'll tell you what doesn't bum me out. You guys go into our website and using it for all it's worth. Pants.com slash TMS is the place to go. Oh, by the way, this weekend, the pre-order for pickup shirts at Nerdtacular is ending. So get in there if you want to get them then. We will have stuff.

Brian, as mentioned earlier, Coverville, pretty much right after we're done today.

Pretty much. Yep. Yep. Getting it fired up, I'll fire it up while we're doing our titles and stuff, and then people can, we'll rate it. And then you'll hear some good Bob Dylan. Like, who do I have in this episode? Well, let me tell you. covers by like you said Timothy Shalame Teenage Fan Club Sleeping at last Roger Taylor drummer for Queen

Dan let's see Brian Ferry I thought I had a Any parries in there No parries No Perry Cuomo No Perry No close this is a Brian Ferry

But he's not a Perry No he's a ferry Oh passenger Oh passenger Yeah How do I know Passenger? You know Passenger from a song called Let Her In, I think. He sounds a little Ed Shearney.

Oh, okay. Yeah. Who's the guy with his name's like Spoot? Or, uh, it drives me nuts. Everyone loves him and he's like a really good songwriter. And he did S&L once. Not somber. You thinking somber?

No. Why do I have spoot in my head? I don't know. It's like, ah, shoot. it's a weird name. Why do I have spout in my head? Please. That is a title that is going to rocket up the charts.

Whoever gets it in first. Yeah, get in there. I can't think of who spute is. Anyway, whatever it is. He's got a funky name and it just, I can't stand his name. Spute. I don't know. I don't know.

Popular song writer, 26. This guy, he did SNL. I want to say he did one of the things at the Super Bowl. Not the main anthem, but something else. Right. Like, did a... Spoot Springsteen says, Joe Guy Art. That's not it.

Son of a bee, dude. The girls, the kids all love him. The girls love him. His name is dumb, and I can't find it. All right. Well, for now, it's Spout. Okay. Good luck, Sput.

When you find out who it is, I can't wait to find out. It's probably so wrong. I'll bet I am so wrong. It's probably like... Spumba. I think it's a... It's carbonated spumba is what it is. It's some kind of full name.

And it's something spout. Or something like that. Who, I guess I thought... Who did the... He was on a piano at the... At the Super Bowl? Who? But not bad bunny.

Charlie Puth. Oh, Charlie Puth. It's not spout. It's Puth. All right. I hate that last name. I hate it. Puth. He's been around for a while.

It was his, uh, something, something for attention, like, uh, maybe five years ago, 10 years ago that it was a song. Like, um, he's been around a while, Charlie Puth. Oh, man. Oh, my God. And I would have written him off. Um, but, um, he's talented. He, he is talented. And he, uh, he just came out with a new album.

um that's very yacht rocky and very good it feels like it feels like it should be yacht rock covers but it's not it's all originals but he's got kenny logins and michael mcdonald and jeff gold bloom and you know all these other people on it um it's called whatever's clever and it's actually really good somebody somebody recommended to me here and i can't remember who it was to check it out it sounds like i like the yacht rock sound so yeah you'd probably like this album just came out in March. All right. Well, he should change his name to poop.

But he should change his name. He should change his name. Yeah, or Booth or Bluth or just anything but Puth. How about Putes? It looks like Imogen. Yeah, there you go. Imogen Puts.

I don't like Puth. It looks like it says Puth, but I know it is. Puth. What a Puff. Charlie Puth. Hate it. Anyway, whatever. Names or any names.

Let's get out of here. Brian. Oh, I have core today at one. If you're looking for a big, long video game show. That'll happen today. Core, me, John Bo, doing the core thing. One p.m. right here on the channel, or later on the podcast, however you get it.

That will do it. Let's play a song. What do you got? All right. Well, Charlie Puth is still a far better name than Uncle Cracker. Matthew Bickert says, Dear Scott and Brian, I'll be celebrating my 15th wedding anniversary with my awesome wife,

Kathy on May 22nd. Happy anniversary tomorrow. In light of it being the Crystal anniversary, I got her a copy of Pokemon Crystal, but I was also hoping to play a cover of our wedding song, Smile, by Uncle Cracker. And I'll say this is probably the only good thing that Uncle Cracker I ever did. If that is impossible, maybe something with Crystal in it. You know, I could have played, I mean, was it the crystals that had going to the chapel? Oh, that's not bad.

But that would have been a great thing, but no. Any Crystal Method songs? Crystal Method would have been good, too, but didn't need to do that either. No, I'm perfectly happy with this one right here. This is a cover of Smile. You make me look at me. You know that song. This is by Abby Brown.

There aren't a lot of covers of this song out there. But this one I really liked, and she sings it. And I think she even uses ukulele in it and makes it really nice. Here is Abby Brown and Smile. linger in your left flip side of my pillow that's right pleading her nothing can compare to where you said me lets me know that it's okay yeah it's okay the moon's where my good time start to fade you make me smell like the sun full and a sunny dear you make this has been a frogpants production find all our show at frogpants.com.
