The Morning Stream
And
He's taking a dump in a can.
Hello everybody and welcome to TMS.
This is the morning stream for Tuesday, June 2nd, 2020.
I'm Scott Johnson.
That's Brian David.
Hi, Brian.
Hey.
Hello.
Day.
What day are we on?
Six of Vermont?
or something? How long have you been there now? Oh, no. Gosh, I've been here over a week now. I got here
a week ago Friday. So I'm on, yeah, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, day 12. Yeah. Yeah. All right. And then
Friday, or you leave Friday, right? I leave Saturday. Saturday, got it. Yeah,
Okay.
Leave Saturday.
Wedding anniversary Saturday.
And then Sunday, Monday, Tuesday at home.
Right out here.
And on our way out there.
I don't know what.
I got to figure out like how early we have to leave to be able to get to
SLC as early as we need to be there because we're looking at what, 10 hours.
It's about a 10 hour, yeah.
10 hour drive.
Last time I did that, it was 10.
Although, last time I did that drive, it was, the speed limits were lower.
So maybe you'll do better time.
It might be able to do better this time because I think it's 80 through most of Utah.
And there's just a little windy, windy stuff through the Colorado Mountains.
And then once you get on the other side of that, it's nice.
Yeah.
Probably shave an hour, hour and a half off.
I could probably shave an hour off.
Yeah, nine is good.
Yeah.
And that, I have to have to look at what time stuff is going on Wednesday night.
make sure.
Sure.
We're good.
Well, that'll be fun.
There's no convoy this time, right?
It's just you.
No, no convoy.
And Barb and Uncle George are driving separately,
and they're doing the smart thing
and leaving a day early
and spending the night in Grand Junction, Colorado,
and then driving the second half.
The Grand Junction is kind of, you know,
it's not a green river as far as the nice midpoint.
it's just on the other side of all the mountains.
So like most of your windy driving is done.
And then you've basically just got that last little stretch to Utah.
Well, it's going to be great.
You'll have a fun drive.
It's a beautiful part of the country.
You don't have to go the other direction,
which is long and boring.
So coming this way is nice.
It's nice.
Yeah.
And I don't think we're going to do.
We might, you know, do one path on the way out through the mountains
and then on the way back, maybe we'll do the cut across the top or the bottom of Wyoming,
which is boring, but straight.
It's like it's a tough decision, right?
Because it's either like either we get the beautiful scenery, but the more tense driving or the easy driving, but boring as hell.
Very, unless you really into like big dirt vistas, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
If you like a good dirt vista, Wyoming's got your number, man.
Yeah, I can't say, does anyone say, oh, I sure, like dirt vistas.
No, no.
I mean, if it's all you have, I guess it's one thing, but all they need up there, and there are,
there's some mountainous regions around there, but all they really need up there is just more mountains.
They had more mountains.
Yeah.
If they could just install more mountains there, why was that so hard to install mountains?
Get your state legislature back in session.
and approve some mountains, dumb shits.
Please, yes. Come on now.
All right, I got a question about a, Jersey Mike's question.
Oh, okay, I was hoping.
Mike's hard lemonade.
Okay, Mike, Jersey Mike, sure.
That's a funny memory that just brought back.
That time, Randy brought up six pack of Mike's hard lemonade to the house.
I just left it because he only drank one of them or something.
Something like that, and we gave it to a neighbor who drank a lot and he was stoked, man.
He was so happy.
He was like, man, this is free.
You're the best neighbors I ever had.
I'm like, this is great.
This is going to give me the worst hangover ever because of all the sugar.
Awesome.
Yeah.
The alcohol really really isn't the problem with those.
Anyway, I'm in this Jersey, Mike's.
I'm getting a thing.
I'm getting it Mike's way.
I like to do that.
Sure.
Sure.
Well, well, juice on it or on the side?
Juice on it.
I like it all just, just a sloppy, big old fat, freaking Italian, whatever, half size, of course.
But the full one is there to murder you.
You don't want to eat that.
Oh, God.
I don't know. It's all I had you said. Nothing else to eat all day. So I was just like, we're getting that. So Kim and I run over there real quick on our way to do some errands. And while I'm in there and after I order it, a guy, I don't know how to describe this guy, but you know these like bodybuilder influencer guys on Netflix, on Instagram and things. They're just massive and they're just acneed up. You can tell they're taking a million steroids. And it's just the new, it's like the liver king guy style.
Whatever buff.
I don't know who Liver King is, but yes, I take your...
I know Tiger King.
I don't know Liver King.
Oh, you never heard of Liver King.
Let me show you.
Never heard of liver king.
Yeah, he's been controversial of late because he claims his, the way he maintains his disgusting physique is he eats raw livers, raw animal livers all the time.
So here he is.
Oh, geez.
Two pictures of him.
That's the liver king.
Oh, that's him holding a liver.
I thought one of his arms was terribly deformed.
No, that would make him more interesting.
Yeah, that would.
But that's a liver he's about to eat.
And here he is, eating one.
Actually eating said liver.
Yeah, I think it's a separate liver.
But he's like, that's all I do.
I just do that in push-ups or whatever.
And then it was, then later, he's like, no, I do a bunch of steroids.
And, you know, of course he does.
Of course.
That would be great.
Anyway, whatever.
The Liver King's got his fans.
I'm not here to poop on your parade.
What I am here to do is say, uh, this.
Dude similar to that was in the Jersey, Mike.
Correct. Almost exactly. In fact, here's another shot. This is why people are, like, it can't be healthy, whatever you're doing here. Just from a cardiovascular standpoint, like, what are we doing? Anyway, this guy walks in. Looks a bit like this, but he's bald and the beard is tighter. Okay. And he's wearing like a really tight shirt. Looks like you may have just been to the gym. I don't know. Some kind of man's man, you know, in there. And I immediately just go, oh, one of these guys. I have a judgment for this.
but I'm ignoring it
I'm looking at my phone
I'm talking to Kim whatever
and then I hear him order
and he does this big long order
very specific stuff
like none of the pre-built
up there he's like
he starts with one
but then is like making him happy
no starts with one
but then is like making changes
to everything to the point
that it just turns into a whole different
sandwich idea by the end
and at the end he says
oh and he's very
he's affable and fine
he seems nice
sure to this point
and he says oh
I'll need pepper jack cheese on that
And the guy behind the thing goes,
oh,
we don't do,
we don't have pepper jack here.
Which they don't.
They have provolone.
I don't know what else.
The other cheeses,
but they don't have pepper jack.
And he goes,
like,
I'm going to try to mimic this.
He goes,
okay.
Now,
for those at home,
we can't see what I'm doing.
He,
his,
his weird muscles just slacked.
And he just hunched over.
It's like the kind of disappointment
you reserve for,
oh,
man, a meteor just landed on my car and crushed it.
Yeah, that is how he was, he was acting like,
this is the worst news he's ever received.
And the guy goes, the guy goes, yeah, we can do these names off the other cheeses.
He's super cool dude behind the counter.
Yeah, yeah.
And he goes, yeah, it's just not going to be the same.
No way, really?
Yeah.
And I'm going, what are we doing here?
I felt like saying something.
But he finally goes, fine, you know what?
Just wrap it up to go.
I'll put it on at home.
I've got pepper jack in the fridge.
And I'm like, this is really weird.
Is this like the, you know, people say they get weird and aggressive on steroids?
Is this guy get like weird and like sad or emotional?
Over rot.
Yeah.
I expect him to Michael Sarah his way out of there with his head down and play the Snoopy music or the Schroeder music.
Or the Incredible Hulk walking away music.
Yeah.
Until next week.
see what this guy does.
So, and the whole rest of the time while he's waiting,
now he's in a chair,
and he's just looking for long and just kind of...
Really?
Oh, my God.
Was there a single tear?
No, I don't know.
If it was, it was probably bright yellow
because it's made of steroids.
But he finally, he finally said,
they finally go,
number, whatever, blah, blah,
and he goes up to the front,
and he gives him his card,
and sad takes the same.
She goes, okay, have a fantastic day.
And he's like, yeah.
I can't.
more. As a matter of fact, 2026 has just been ruined.
Yeah. I mean, what is it about pepper jack cheese that made this person kind of go semi insane?
I know. I mean, you know, pepper jack is good. I like pepper jack. Absolutely.
But if somebody, you know, somebody says we're at a pepper jack, I'd fine with whatever.
Yeah. Whatever cheese you have is fine. Yeah. In fact, I usually, I, these days I opt out of cheese because I just, for whatever reason, I'm not a big cheese guy these days.
It doesn't bother me, but I'm just not hungry for it.
So I usually don't do it.
But if there's an, if I said, hey, pepperjack and they said, oh, sorry all the way.
I was provalone.
I go, oh, great.
Like, it's not, this isn't his Pepsi okay.
Even that would be ridiculous for somebody to be this sad about, oh, they don't have
Coke.
And I have to have a Pepsi product.
Right.
It felt like this guy's, you know, react like that.
It's like, is your, is the rest of your life just so perfect that this one thing is the only
bad thing that is going to happen to you?
Yeah.
for the week.
It felt what I,
the biggest vibe I guess I walked away from was it.
This is somebody who thinks who has main character syndrome real bad.
Yes,
100% real bad.
Like he was sure because he was upbeat and stoked when he got there.
So I don't know, man.
I just,
I felt like I was watching like a person unravel at the core.
Do you feel like like,
you know,
the scene opens up light just streaming through the blood?
lines coming through his alarm goes off.
6.30. He gets up stretches.
And then the realization on his face, he starts to smile and say, I'm going to have a sandwich
with pepper jack cheese today. And the biggest gringes goes on his face.
And he goes to work and he says, hey, Bob. Hey, you doing.
Dude, I'm doing great. I'm going to have a sandwich with pepper jack cheese today.
Oh, you do that. You get after it. But and then he goes on about his day.
And then he's like, oh, time for lunch. But I'm giving pepper jack cheese today.
Yeah.
boss, I'm taking an extra half hour.
I'm pretty stoked about where I'm headed today.
That's right.
Carr cuts him off in traffic.
He's like,
don't worry about it.
It's totally fine.
I'm going to have some pepper jack cheese in a couple minutes.
Yeah.
This guy,
it's almost like he went for pepper jack cheese
that might have a sandwich with it.
It's really the sandwich is just a delivery mechanism for pepper jack cheese.
It's really just the vessel.
Such an odd thing.
But anyway,
he finally left and we got our thing.
And I looked at the kid behind the,
counter. He's that kid. He's probably 20 something. And he goes, yeah. I go, I go, whoa, and he goes, yeah.
It'd be great if the guy said, yeah, comes in every week, never remembers that we don't have
pepper jack cheese. Yeah, that would have been great. Like, this isn't the first time. I would love it.
Every week he comes in, has a little meltdown because they don't have the cheesy ones.
He's going to be the guy who shows up everywhere now with a, with a custom made cold box in his backpack
that always has a slice of pepper jack cheese.
Yeah, I'm sure that'll do real good this summer.
So I say good luck to him.
Here's another great shot of the liver king, by the way,
with a bunch of meat on his shoulder.
I don't think I would eat meat that's been on someone's shoulder.
You know?
No.
But, I mean, even if you threw it on the grill.
By the way, it was, yeah, that's a...
What is that?
What is that?
It looks like a pork shoulder.
Big, big ass pork shoulder, maybe?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It must be.
Yeah, it's less about being on his shoulders because, all right, you're going to throw it on the grill and stuff.
But there's no way he's not sweating up a storm underneath that thing.
It's the beard hairs that are on the side of that, that pork shoulder.
It's also amazing that.
So he's, of course, got a mugshot because everybody in this world.
Of course he does, yeah.
But the mugshot, it just looks like your regular old meth head, like, you know, didn't look like a big fancy influence.
No, he really doesn't.
Yeah.
So good luck, Liver King.
I'm sure eating raw livers will not kill you one day.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm sure it'll all work out.
It'll be just fine.
He's making a lot of money in the meantime, so he'll be fine.
Good.
All right.
Also, I need to share with you a video once in a while.
I come across something that just has to be shared.
Excellent.
Today is one of those days.
I must share this.
Even though this isn't like, I'm not discovering a new planet here, all right?
I know that this is a thing that human beings evolve over time,
that this isn't that big a deal.
but for whatever reason, it just caught me
at the right time and the right thing.
I come across this video that said,
why did this blow my mind? And I was prepared to be
like, whatever, we'll link bait. Let's see what you got.
And it kind of did, even though
it isn't that big a deal. So I'm going to play it
and then we'll talk about it. We'll see if I'm
just, you know, if I'm high on
Dayquil instead or something. All right,
here we go. Can you imagine going like
this and that being the size
your head? Because like
that's size of his head.
So here's the thing.
I'd never thought of this before, but here's the girl before with her arms up.
Yeah, and how much space there is around her head and her arms.
Look what we evolved from early on.
It's wild to think that if we stay the same proportions, our heads would be fill in that space.
Yeah.
Or I guess the arms would have to stay short or something.
We look like the perfume countergirl in that Chemical Brothers video.
I love that video.
Yeah, I don't know why this got me so hard, but I was like,
wait, can I rephrase that?
Can I say that differently?
I don't know why this struck me so much.
I saw this and just went, whoa, human.
And I wasn't like, you know, eating an edible or anything.
It just hit me like, no way, man.
Our heads like totally shrink or do our arms grow?
Or is it something else?
it's something else obviously right right i mean yeah big head little arms it's uh fortunately one one
doesn't grow as quickly as the other one does as we get bigger no but i mean i guess it's good the way
we turned out but i think about this a lot how this is kind of stoner talk but how sometimes um
we are we we look at each other and though we are all different looking like every human's got
variations even twins even identical twins have yeah some markers about that
that are different or whatever.
So there's nobody looks the same.
A lot of diversity in how we look.
And then you throw in like, you know,
and that's just like a bunch of white people.
Like you start throwing in all these other, you know,
races and genders and everything else.
You start ending up with a very mixed bag of what human beings look like.
But we're all cool with it.
We're like there's the nostrils.
I see their eyes.
The ears are there.
They have hair of various kinds.
They're maybe their skin tone varies.
But we're all just here.
And then once in a while,
someone will show up like there's a dude getting interviewed for some UFC thing that's basically purple
like everyone's worried about him because the skin's purple I think it's a combination of too much
tanning bed and maybe high blood pressure I don't know what's wrong with the guy maybe is Thanos
yeah he looks just like him people made jokes about it in the comments really Thanos is back
look out he's back he's back but it's he was like almost like twitch twitch purple like really
that that vivid I should find it it's somewhere it'll freak you out
And maybe some of the lighting in the studio was the problem, but also everyone else and everything else in that room looked fine.
So I don't know. Anyway, but you'll see that and it's just, it's a pattern change.
It's enough of a pattern jump that you go, oh, right.
That's different.
And I got to thinking about how here's the stoner part.
Okay.
We're just used to each other.
This is how we've evolved over millions of years.
Sure.
But think about what we must look like if you've never seen us.
I think we're kind of hideous.
Like even the prettiest among us.
Like the most beautiful.
Alien comes down and they're just like this little egg with a single eye and they go,
we've just found your planet.
They're going to be galaxy quest at once I've decided.
I like it.
We've just discovered your planet and we're so happy to have found your planet.
Oh, look at your weird gangly arms and legs.
You know what I mean?
Because to them, I know that science fiction's played with this idea for years.
I'm not like I'm invented it.
But the aliens would look weird to us in theory or weirdly similar.
Like we don't know.
But they, I just think we must look horrendous.
Because we're just weird.
We're fleshy and we got like a tongue.
I think, you know, pets probably look at us and go, man, how does that thing walk around looking like?
Yeah, probably.
He's like, well, he gives me food.
So.
Yeah, exactly.
It's like, all right.
I guess, you know, I guess I got to, I have to accept it.
He's the food giver.
I don't know why I think this way, but it's always in my head.
Yeah.
Well, anyway.
It was like some of the, some of the hitchhiker's guide descriptions, like of, you know, bags of mostly water and stuff like that.
I love that stuff.
Yeah.
I feel like Futurama owes most of their ideas about aliens to hitchhiker's guide.
Like just that kind of thinking.
like, oh, a gelatinous, the mayor is gelatinous,
which just means he'll accidentally suck somebody into his body once in a while
and it's a problem because they'll suffocate and die.
These are Douglas Adams' ideas.
Yeah, totally.
Brian, sometimes the government says let them eat cake.
I guess ours is saying that to you tonight.
What's going on?
That's what they're saying to me tonight.
I get to see a Mac addict again.
He mentioned in Discord.
He's like, nope, I wasn't bored at all.
I just have RBF.
And I didn't know any of the answers.
And I think he's selling himself short.
He knew a lot of the answers and he got a couple, you know, several that I didn't know that he was able to come up with that we got points for.
So I think there was even one, was there one where he had the right answer?
And I'm like, no, I think that happened the other night where there was one that I was pretty sure of.
And then the bartender said, oh, yeah, we were talking about eras, empires.
and I thought the description they were giving me was the Byzantine Empire
and turned out to be the Persian Empire and the bartender said,
I think it might be the Persian.
But he was wrong on so many other things, the bartender.
So it's decided not to go over.
That's funny, dude.
That's funny you got a bartender is like confidently wrong.
Right, exactly.
He comes over and looks at my sheet and says,
no, I think that's.
And you mentioned some other TV show.
I'm like, no, I'm pretty sure that was Frazier.
That's great.
All right.
But then, you know, and of course, it's the one that he gets wrong.
I'm sorry, it's the one he gets right that I get wrong, that he's going to be like,
you should listen to me.
He'll hold it over your head for the next 10 visits to that place.
Exactly.
Yeah.
So where's the place actually that I went last night and he wasn't there.
Oh.
To black flannel distillery and played trivia.
Played third place all the way up until the end.
And last week, remember it was, it was speaking of Galaxy Quest, it was that question where everybody bet, because they saw, oh, Galaxy Quest.
And then it turned out to be what are the three kinds of galaxies, the three kind of the three identifications of galaxies.
And everybody in the bar got it wrong.
And so comes up as Hogwarts houses as the final answer.
And I'm like, you know what?
I'm going to be smart.
And I'm going to bet zero.
And it's, it's going to be something completely unrelated.
to Harry Potter.
And I'm going to bet zero.
Everybody else is going to bet big.
They're going to drop below me.
I'm going to go from third to first place.
No problem.
And the question comes up, other than Gryffindor.
What are the other three Harry Potter?
It was just a straight version of the question.
You know what?
Strategically.
I feel like you made the right call, though.
I think so just based on what's happened before.
Yeah, this is a strategy.
This is what you do.
Nothing wrong with this.
Sometimes it's, you know, you can't win them all.
Yeah, exactly.
So anyway, so tonight, God, didn't even get into the cake yet.
So Mac Addict, who's even in the chat room right now,
he said, hey, my brother got an extra ticket for cake tonight.
You want to go see cake.
So I'm going to go see, I'm going to go support my rock and roll lifestyle.
and go the distance and see cake.
Yeah, see how I did that, how I didn't give away the thing to you.
You did the thing I should have bet zero on is what you did.
Yeah, I did.
Because I was certain this was like a cake eating contest or like, I don't know,
they do different cakes.
You taste them or something.
I honestly thought that's where you were going.
But cake is a good.
I haven't capitalized the word cake.
I know, I know.
The hints are there.
This is why I don't go to trivia nights.
I gave you all the things.
All the hents are there, but I didn't see it.
That's great, though.
I've never seen them live, but I love cake.
They're great.
Yeah, yeah, I've never seen them live, but obviously been a fan for a long time.
Are they still, like, producing new music?
Or are they, what do they do now?
I don't know if they put out anything new in a few years.
This is like a, this is an out on a, like in a field.
Bring your lawn chairs and blankets and.
Sounds like.
Yeah, you know what? I'm fine with that.
Sounds like fun.
The Midway lawn at the Champlain Valley Expo.
Nice. And it won't be, that sounds like less crazy than a full packerina.
It does. I'm more relaxed and like, I don't, you know, don't won't have people elbow to elbow with me in a bunch of small seats and stuff like that.
Do they ever make an album called Half Baked? They should have.
Maybe that's too on the nose.
Layer.
Well, layer would have been great.
Layer.
Just layer.
Just layer.
Oh, missed opportunity, guys.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, they're going the distance, so maybe they stay.
That's great.
Tell Mac addict, I guess I can tell him now, I share his RBF and I feel your pain.
I know what it's like.
I've had many people go, are you okay?
And I'm like, yes, I'm just relaxed.
Yes, exactly.
Yes, this is just how I always look.
Me and my dog, you know, you'll see Taylor this next week.
She'll do the same thing.
People think she's mad.
She's not.
Her and I suffer from it.
My wife has resting help.
face.
So it's Wendy.
Wendy has that.
Interesting alternative.
Wow.
And my brother has resting, I don't know where I am face.
So that's a fun one.
I'll let people do with that in the room.
I'm trying to get to resting bemused face.
Like,
hmm, that's not bad.
Oh, we'll give the camera.
Sorry.
Yeah, give me, give us your mug.
There you go.
I like that.
You know what?
I think you actually kind of own that expression.
Yours, you've always had a kid.
That's what I've cultivated that for years of practice.
Yeah.
Been working on that since 70.
All right, quick story.
Then we'll get to some news or not.
What time is it?
Oh, it's almost bill time.
But we'll see.
Yeah.
This is a dream.
I had a dream.
Okay.
All right.
And I'm so annoyed about this dream.
So this was during, you know, this cold is just hanging on.
But the worst of it was probably two, three nights ago.
And night at night's the worst.
And I'm just coughing.
I can't sleep very well.
I slept hardly at all this one night.
And I was just up coughing and not breathing right and blowing my nose over five seconds.
And, you know, whatever.
it's cold.
But for some reason, when I woke up with the worst of it,
started coughing at about 2.30 in the morning.
Nobody should be doing anything at 2.30 in the morning.
No, no, let alone.
Just shouldn't be.
Hacking up a, yeah.
Yeah, and here's the worst part,
because you're in some form of REM sleep.
I come out of that with the,
there's no reason for this because I hate the song.
I come out of that with the song,
we built this city by Starship.
playing in my head on repeat while I'm hacking up a freaking lung and it won't stop like honestly
it's almost like I could physically hear the song and this has happened before but it's usually
stuff I like like I might hear Creedens Clearwater Revival as an example Bernie yeah Bernie I might
have seen like a Vietnam movie the night before or something and so exactly so that thing's
playing in my head and it's like um no big deal I
can deal with that because I actually like some of that music.
But this thing is, like, the least favorite song of my life, I don't know why it's playing
in my head at all.
I don't have a dream to refer to.
I just woke up kind of cold.
And it's going, and I can just hear it in my freaking head.
That sort of a cappella intro with a light keyboard.
Do, do, do.
I hate it so much.
You know what?
The only thing I can think, well, no, that was yesterday, so it wouldn't have been.
we talked about Jefferson Airplane yesterday, which, you know, evolved eventually into Starship.
We did here?
Yeah, because we talked about Woodstock bands.
Oh, right, right, right.
Okay, yeah.
For a half-out-or-half-hast-tat.
It's amazing how quickly I just forget some of the stuff that we do.
I do.
Do you, trust me.
I don't know what.
That's all I'm going to remember for yesterday, everybody, so don't expect anything better than that.
But, yeah, it's like, I don't know why.
I can't hear that.
Oh, go ahead.
I don't know why that happened to me.
How do you, how would you deal with...
I mean, it could be Jefferson Airplane,
and in your head you're thinking,
no, Jefferson Airplane involved in Jefferson Starship.
Yeah, but that was yesterday.
It was like two days before this that it happened.
That's what I'm saying.
It's like when I thought of that happening yesterday.
Oh, right, because you've had this in the...
Yeah, you had this in the notes to talk about yesterday.
So you, yeah, it was before.
It was way before.
So now I don't know.
And I'm not, I have no habit of listening to them.
I've not seen any movies lately that played the song.
The closest I've got is...
Didn't Filmstack have a song that,
that they always do?
Or no.
What the hell was that?
I had some saxophone.
Oh,
what you found out it was,
it was just muted trumpet during sex.
Oh, that's what it was.
That's what it was.
And so that kind of vibe maybe was in my head?
I don't know, man.
Yeah.
I'm still mad about it, though.
Actually, was mad.
I was 2.30 in the morning,
blowing my nose,
walking around the bathroom going,
you effing shitty band
with your shit song.
Yeah, you know,
I can't hear we built this city
it's been completely
I mean as if that song could be ruined any further
it's been completely replaced by
and I know we've played it here
and I've talked about it here
but it was at some stockholders
meeting for Starbucks
and it was like
all right during the day we're going to have meetings
and talk about blah blah blah
blah and then we'll have a dinner break
and then everybody come back and
come back and enjoy you know
we'll have a little fun event night
right so everybody all the stockholders leave
when they come back and have their, like maybe a little thing full of cookies,
chocolate chip cookies or brownies or something, they sit down.
And they start playing, we built this Starbucks.
Oh, gosh.
We built this Starbucks on hard and so built this Starbucks.
And I could not hear that song without thinking of that stupid version
that these executives all had to sit through.
Like, listen, I've managed this franchise location.
I've, like, hired people.
I've had to fire people.
And now you're going to make me hear this god awful.
It's the whole dance routine on stage.
It's already so bad.
So bad.
But now somehow it's so much worse.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's the worst song ever made.
I'll stand by it.
I'll die on that hill.
Yeah.
I'm on that hill right now.
I have no weapons to speak of.
If you want to come at me for me saying,
we built the city's the worst song ever and you don't agree let's go i'm ready to die here that song sucks
ass uh two responses to people zitan says were there versions of that song i swear i heard on radio one
customized for buffalo 100%. They um they had versions customized for every radio market so that that
middle bit that's an instrumental has local radio station call letters and and things like that in
the instrumental part and so stations in that market would play that version of it.
And Redling says, I think there's a recent commercial that uses built this city.
Absolutely is.
I think it's Cotonel or Charmin or something that has three ladies.
We squeeze that, Charmin.
Something.
We squeeze that Sharman.
We wipe that shitty.
I mean, something like that.
I don't know what the lyrics are, but it's a.
It should be.
This song is shitty.
It should be.
All right.
Well, now that that's out of my system, let's put this.
in my system.
There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill?
We need to be inspired to make things.
Far better.
Far better stuff to get in your head.
Oh, way, way better.
You know what?
If Bill Duran likes that song, I'll take it all back.
Bill Duran, welcome to the program.
How are you?
Good morning.
I have no strong opinions on that song.
Yeah, you're not feeling the,
you don't feel the hate like I do, the burning hatred?
No, but I also wasn't enough late vomiting.
No, that's true.
Oh, geez.
They're from your neck of the woods.
Is the Starship and Jefferson Airplane?
They were a San Francisco band.
I guess that's not Seattle, but it's still up in, up in...
It's up that Northwest thing.
I bet the San Francisco a lot, though.
I'll take it.
You'll take them, okay.
Yeah.
You could take journey.
You could take a lot of things.
For some reason, I was thinking at the Experience Music Project, there was some Jefferson
Starship or Jefferson Airplane stuff.
There might be.
I mean, it's mostly Nirvana, but they got a lot of cool stuff there.
Yeah, they do.
Look, I mean, you're...
They have a lot of heart stuff.
They have a lot of hard stuff.
and you guys are from a,
you're from a part of the country
that most people,
like some people still like pilgrimage
up to where you live
because they want to see that.
Oh, sure.
The grungy, grungy, man.
Yeah.
We have a Jimmy Hendricks statue.
Yeah.
On 15th, I think.
We got all kinds of cool stuff.
Is that like a full-blown,
what is that?
Like a human side,
ran the sidewalk,
Jimmy Hendricks bronze statue.
Whoa.
Is there his watchtower near there
and there's it all along it?
No, okay.
But we also have a troll.
Do you guys know about
a bridge troll? Oh yes, yes. You've sent
us photos of the British troll.
That artist
I saw on the local news
here. They get a little
TV in the kitchen when I'm making my
coffee and stuff and
turn on the local news and
just watch it. But that artist
who did the troll in
Seattle and who's done it, I guess, in a couple
places, is doing
an exhibit here in
Vermont. Oh, no way.
Or somebody of
affiliated with him maybe.
You can try to catch it or probably don't have time?
No, I'm not.
No, you're not going to go at all.
I'm not even going to bother with the giant file of cabinet.
Unless Tina wants to go see the giant file of cabinet when she gets her Thursday,
I'm probably not going to go see the giant phone cabinet.
I think that would be so funny if she shows up and goes, Brian?
Let's see the cabinet.
We're going to the cabinet.
Listen, you know what almost sold it for me?
Is the Fletchers sent me photos of them at the giant file cabinet.
and they made it look cool.
They'd been there, eh?
They'd been there, yeah.
Oh, all right.
I was trying to find the Utah one that we also had,
and I can't find it now.
But everybody should have a troll sculpture in their hometown.
That's just the rule.
Well, speaking to trolls, Bill's here.
Just kidding, you're not a troll.
Bill Durand of Punishprops.com fame is here,
and he's going to be here, like, physically here next week for Nerdtacular.
Oh, I'm so excited, you guys.
I am too, man.
I'm in stuff in the back of my car.
Can't wait to see you.
excited to see you and Britt, see
cool shit you're bringing, and I can't wait to
see people parade around in their costumes
and have us judge them without
judging them, you know, because they're not really judging
them. Oh my gosh,
I thought that sculpture was smaller than it is.
Hold on a second. It's massive.
The bug in its hand, the Volkswagen bug
is a full-size Volkswagen bug. It's an actual
Volkswagen bug. Okay, well, look at, yeah,
because I found a man who's on
the knuckle putting his hand up the nostril,
and that's a big-ass thing.
Holy crap. I found
The man.
Found the man on the knuckle.
Anyway, Bill, let's talk about the world of making because we need some creativity right now.
What do you got?
What are we doing?
I am, there will eventually be a video on this, but I am in the middle of a bit of a workshop reorganization.
And I'm doing, well, it's fun for me.
Yesterday I had music out and I was sorting screws and I could not have been in a happier place.
It was so good.
Oh, that's cool.
That's interesting.
Do you think, um, like the mundane aspect of that just was like got you.
I'm really good.
Yeah, the tedium of it.
See, I love this.
I need to learn from you.
So let me, let me sup at your feet because I'd like to learn something.
Oh, no.
I have.
Did you lose audio for a second there, Bill?
Yeah.
Oh, me too.
Oh, you're back.
Oh, you're all back.
I don't know what happened to you guys.
Yeah, that was weird.
Yeah, I didn't.
Neither Bill or I heard you for a minute.
That was me.
Very weird.
Oh, and we had a slight, looks like we had a little packet loss.
So maybe something happened.
Um, all right. So here's the dealio. What is the dealio? What was I saying? Uh, oh yeah. So how come I like doing that kind of thing in a video game? I like a chore core. Yeah. Type video game. Uh, but I don't, um, like doing it in real life. And I really need to. There's stuff I'm looking at right now out of the corner of my eye. I'm like, I just need to sit down and do like a, like screws. I need to sort these. Why do I, why does that sound so tedious and terrible to me, but I, but I don't mind doing it in a video.
game. What's that about? You're obviously
first listening to the wrong music.
Oh. That's clear.
Yeah.
But I don't know. There's something about
that kind of tedium that tickles me.
I get to turn part of my brain
off and
just sort of laser focus
on a thing for a while.
For all my sorting,
years ago I've invested in
these Sortimo cases.
Adam Savage uses of them.
They're the best. They're so, so good.
They're these German cases with containers inside of them for holding all your small parts.
And I bought a bunch of them.
But they're like 70 to 100 bucks now.
Wow.
So expensive now.
That's Adam Savage money is what that is.
That is.
And he has his own.
He talked to them and he got a bunch of them made in his own colors.
So he has like, you know, a hundred of these things.
He's got a great video recently showing how he uses them.
but I stumbled on a video
of my friend Alexander Chappell
made his own cases
fully 3D printable
Oh I'm realizing
Are they their own thing
Or do they work with like Gridfinity or
It's similar to Gridfinity
But it is his own thing
It's his own thing, okay
Yeah
These are expensive
I just looked up a price just to compare
124 is about the cheapest you're going to go
207
for the kind of mid-range, there's another one that's even more, like, it could really
depend on like a flat one-row box.
Yeah.
Even that is 61 bucks.
And that's empty.
That's without any containers inside of it.
Oh, really?
That doesn't even come with the little, no, you're right.
Look at that.
It doesn't come with the little.
Yeah.
This is where the big boys store their shit, you know?
Now, in the past, I have printed containers for the little cups that go inside.
The Sortima's I've printed my own for that.
But I'm basically now printing my own whole thing.
Oh, can I drop this in the channel?
Let's see. Alex's video.
Alex did a whole video on this
this 3D printed case system
that he came up with.
And I love it because it's really, really clever,
this new solution that he's got.
The case is because you can print your own,
you can make them almost any size.
I tried to print the biggest one possible.
I printed a 6x4 container on my Prusa XL.
And it turned out awesome.
You can print how high you want it,
so you can make a really flat, thin case if you want or a really tall one.
He's got different lids for it.
It's modular.
So you can pick and choose exactly the case that you want and just print that.
I'm printing a ton of these.
That's cool.
It's a combination of wood too, right?
These are...
He's got one that uses wood and he's got one system that uses wood and one system that's fully 3D printed.
I see the one underneath the wooden one that's black filament.
Okay.
Yeah.
The wooden ones, if you can work with wood, you can make them bigger and they're a little bit stronger.
Sure.
But the printed ones, I just tell my printer to print the whole thing.
It's really great.
So really that simple and you're talking just normal three.
It's not resin or something.
This is like normal.
No, normal.
This is just regular filament.
That's awesome.
I love the little mechanical stoppers.
Yeah, the mechanisms he's figured out.
You need to get a few screws to put the whole.
thing together, but it's so worth it.
And it uses maybe like $10 in materials, including the screws, to make a full size.
A case, it's almost the same size as one of my Sortemos.
Take that Sortemo.
We found, life found away, you bastards.
It's a shame.
It would be great if these were exactly the same.
Well, they look like they're pretty close to the same size as Grid Fended.
He's even showing.
I know he's compared that.
I'm not sure exactly how they stack up.
Chad says wood is the most rare material in the universe.
Is that true?
I mean, we don't know, I guess, because we can't go that far to find out.
But maybe it is.
Maybe wood is our most precious resource.
That's right.
Use the plastic.
Actually, in a, if it checks out in Blade Runner, wood is very rare.
That's right.
That's a good point.
That's why that handle of his gun or the grip of his gun is so important.
Yeah, I'll need to watch this video.
again with the sound on,
but it looks like part of this thing,
he's showing Gridfinity,
oh, but then, okay, this second,
no, that looks like Grinity inside as well.
Yeah, that's similar to a grid finity.
All of the little cups for his cases
can go in a case like that.
Okay.
Or in a drawer or something
if you want to put that in a drawer.
Yeah, so if they're, man, this,
I love this.
If they're totally compatible,
then I am 100% all over this.
I want his shop, dude.
Yeah.
I know.
He's in, I believe, in doorway.
Yeah, I think he's
other than somewhere.
Look at all of those drawers
that, like the rolling
containers of drawers that he's
in our organization.
I love how colorful it is.
I'm pretty all my cases
in like whatever color I got.
Yeah, it's going to be super colorful.
Exactly, whatever leftover roll of filament I have,
that is what I'm using.
My daughter wants me to get that
hair bun on my hair if I grow my hair more.
A little back nut thing.
Yeah, because I noticed
what's his name played
Golan can't think of his name, Andy Circus.
He does this now because he's got a big
old bald spot back there and so the way he
covers it is he grows out the front and then
ties it in a big bomb back here.
So hey, look out.
Look out. Future me,
you're coming in hot.
Yeah.
These are awesome though. I want one of these.
I want a whole room of these, but I'd take one
at this point. So what this lets me
do, what I'm so excited about, I'm making
the ones that are as big as possible to kind
have not replaced my Sartemos, but, you know, augment the system.
But I'm printing some smaller ones as well so that I can take things that I have like a handful of stuff for and they get their own case.
So, for example, I've started getting different sized heat set inserts for my 3D prints.
These are brass inserts.
I have three different sizes now.
But I also have like some tools that go with it, like a soldering iron.
Sotering iron.
Yeah, to push them in.
Yeah.
So I'm going to make a little 3D printed box.
like that and all a heat set inserts will go into just that box. So what I'm doing that work,
I just grab the one box. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm going to have tons of stuff like that
where things get sorted into their own case. And then when I'm doing that particular technique,
I got everything I need right there. Do you think that, um, is it possible to truly be fully
and completely organized as a maker? No, no, no, no. It is an ongoing. This is a lifelong person.
I am in the process of organizing my shop.
I am always in the process of organizing my shop.
Just every once in a while, you give it a little extra effort.
I think that you, I think that's the key here, right?
We're not saying, here's your final solution.
What's her name on Netflix?
What was her name?
Condo.
Condo.
This isn't Marie Condo with the ultra solution that will solve it forever.
I'm not getting rid of anything.
No.
Yeah.
This is a path you are on and you must stay on the path.
and here's part of Bill's path.
Here's what's going to happen, though, Bill.
You're going to make this really cool thing
that holds all of your heat sink inserts
and your soldering iron,
and then, you know, the M5, M3 screws
that are going to go into those inserts
and it's going to be all perfect.
And then you're going to pick up, oh, M8 inserts.
M8 size heat sink inserts.
So here's what, and this happened yesterday.
Because I inherited someone else's
collection of screws.
Yeah.
So I found some M8 nuts and washers.
I don't have any M8 screws, but I can't get rid of them.
Right.
Of course.
So I, in my container for all my large metrics stuff, I left some empty spots.
Oh, good.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
And I did not do that last time.
I had a lot of things.
But that's another part of it.
When I have more room, that means I have more room to grow.
And I'm trying to leave spots to grow.
Nothing wrong with that.
Oh, he's showing the mechanism for the,
that little toggle that goes back and forth that closes it,
and how it's got those little gaps that make it satisfyingly click
when you move that left of the way.
It is fun to play with.
I put mine together yesterday and I was playing with it.
It's so good.
Oh, speaking of satisfying clicks,
my daughter picked up a, she'd been saving for it forever.
My oldest daughter, Taylor, who loves photography,
always been a photo nerd.
she picked up a mirrorless
camera
Fuji something
anyway
this thing has the most
realistic film advanced click feeling
when you take a photo
and I thought of Bill actually
because of his photo background
and maybe she'll maybe when she's there
I'll just have you go push it
because it's like it's this feeling of
I feel like something moved in there
it didn't it's just haptics but
oh it's awesome
Does I have a little like controller vibrate thing in there?
I hope it does.
It might.
It might actually have it.
And then it has, it's all like on the outside, you don't almost swear this is something from the 60s.
It's got all these knobs and, you know, it didn't go overboard to feel retro, but it definitely feels, you know, she got a brown leather case holder thing and all that.
And she's been going to town.
She kind of had these phases like artsy-fartsy, amazing eye for photography, all this stuff.
And then the money was in doing people's weddings and their.
announcements for their weddings and their actual weddings and then you know baby births and so she's doing all that standard stuff you do as a photographer to get for your freelance money but she's like I need to get back to just doing raw cool shit yeah and that's where she's at anyway sorry yeah when you said satisfying click I couldn't right couldn't separate maybe I'll bring my film camera yeah oh she did she would just love even just looking at it you know what I mean she might get near you and go
Like that.
See, I think if I had something like this, I would enjoy sorting screws too.
There would be a very satisfying, fun thing of like just taking one of those plastic, clear plastic boxes that doesn't fit with anything and opening each little, you know, zip block bag that's in there up and dumping all those screws and nuts and bolts and stuff.
Don't even get me started with the label maker.
Oh, yeah.
All right, good.
Listen, that's what a madam does at a whorehouse.
They sort screws.
That's a great joke.
I got somewhere to be.
Yeah, Bill.
Hey, why don't you give us, you got a little bonus link or anything?
No, just go watch Alexander's videos.
All right.
His whole channel seems awesome.
And also, he's got a killer channel for only having 200 videos on it.
My gosh, he's kicking ass.
And it's all organizational stuff, which all of us could use.
Bill Duran, stay out of trouble.
Can't wait to see you next week.
See you next week.
And travel safely.
I know you're flying.
So travel safely.
I know.
Yeah.
All right.
So cool.
Here we goes.
Guys, we heard you.
It's, uh, it's, uh, it's, we know what you need.
We know what you're looking for.
We know what you're looking for.
We're here for you.
Um, I need to share one new story with you and then a couple of emails.
Sure.
Okay.
This new story is just too good.
It's been sitting here for such a long time.
And I'm glad we're getting to it.
Yeah.
Robert Frip.
Amazing name.
That, that already had me sold.
It's still unsure why a prog guy.
by the way. Oh yeah? I didn't know. Wait, really? For real? Yeah. Yeah, he's a King Crimson.
Oh, I didn't know who King Crimson was. Brian Eno and Adrian Blue and, uh, yeah. Some Hammond shit right here.
It is some Hammond shit. I'm amazed looking at this why we didn't do this article on
Daily Music Headlines. Hell yeah. Robert, I didn't realize this guy was such a big whoop. I didn't know that.
Well, this is interesting.
He still explains why the story's existing at all, because why would this make the news?
Sure.
But Robert Fripp still unsure why hospital shaved his testicles after his heart attack.
I would also be, I would also not know why they didn't do that.
Yeah.
It seems very odd.
Is this a Dr. Tim Watson, Wattley?
What was the, was Brian Cranston?
Yeah. Dr. Wadley.
I guess he was a dentist, but.
He was a dentist.
Yeah.
but like, I woke up and why were my pants on button?
Such a great episode.
Yeah.
King Crimson's Robert Fripp, who turned 80 last week.
Man, he doesn't look 80.
Look at this.
No.
Look at this photo of him, you guys.
And he's the one, I think, who's got, yes.
I don't know why he's naked with his guitar, but whatever.
You should see his YouTube videos with his wife.
They do these regular, let me find one really quick.
I just keep going with the article while I locate one of Robert Fripp's videos with his wife.
No problem. Ron Trinitron, by the way, says, for as much as they charge, they better shave my balls.
Okay.
Here you go.
Jeez.
You found a video.
Yeah.
So I think they started doing this.
His wife is Toya.
Oh, what's her name?
I can't remember her last name, but...
LaToya Jackson, no?
Yeah, definitely not that.
And they, I think, started doing these during the pandemic.
Oh.
I'll put it in our team.
There we go.
Thank you for bumping.
No worries.
I'll put it right there.
It was a little buried.
And this is them doing, as they call it, enter the sandman.
Oh, really?
Enter the Sandman.
But it's covers.
Like they do these great covers.
And she's a really good singer.
And they always try and do something really weird with it.
But there's a reason that people keep coming back to these videos.
Oh, I wonder what that is.
Hmm.
Gosh, you know, I don't know for sure.
I don't know why people could be,
could be subscribed to.
What?
Is she?
Okay.
Oh, my gosh.
Dude.
Apparently.
Yeah.
Questar on the chat.
I'll give you two guesses.
Exactly.
All right.
For audio-only listeners, somebody with very large breaths that's fairly see-through with no bra
as Dan is writing a...
Yeah.
What is that?
A skinty-electical looks like...
Lytical or something.
Treadmill or something like that.
And he looks like an accountant somewhere.
He does.
He does.
They, you know, they look like if you were to just see them and not hear them, they look like
a couple people who during the pandemic,
just found, you know, gave up their accounting and personal training jobs to do this.
But when you hear it's like, oh, well, they're extremely talented.
She's got a great voice.
He's an incredibly guitarist, and it's just funny.
That's amazing.
Well, here's how this all went.
He seems to be doing much better after this heart attack.
He suffered last year.
Not that crazy for an 80-year-old to experience something like this.
And he gave his first live performance since the incident last month at Church of St.
or Santa Alexandra
Maritier
in Italy.
Sure.
Nailed it.
Nailed it.
100%.
It's almost like I was listening to
Mario Batali talking there first.
Oh yeah.
I'm even wearing crocs and everything.
Are you?
He was the one doing that, right?
He was the one doing that, yeah.
Okay, make sure I didn't screw that up.
By the way, Gen Z, they love the crocs.
They don't care.
They're into them.
It's not even a hipster thing.
They're just like, these are comfortable and I like them.
I don't know what's
going on there.
They're the Jefferson.
They're the starship of shoes.
I kind of feel that way too.
Crocs are the starship of shoes.
If I wake up tomorrow, if I wake up at 2 a.m.
with a coughing fit and all I can think about is crocs.
Actually, it's a step up, honestly.
Yeah.
From the song, I'll take that.
I'd rather think of crox than hear that song again.
Anyway, he says this.
He launched a substact.
This is where he talked about it.
And he said, I was left with some peculiar questions,
mainly why his balls were shaved
when he was being treated.
You're concerned with my heart fine.
What are you doing shaving my balls?
He said.
He remarked in a vlog last year with his wife,
Tonya Wilcox,
and her two pals.
She was laughing beside him as they recounted the story.
Wilcox added that maybe it had to do
with the clearing his body of anything
that could harbor germs
since he was going in for hearts or maybe.
Oh, I guess.
Sure.
I don't think, I don't know, though.
I don't.
Yeah, I mean, it's not like they need to put electrodes there.
any sort of monitors or anything like that.
No, yeah. Maybe Toya did it while he was asleep.
And she's like, yeah, it must have been the doctor. I don't know.
No, I don't know. I just really like him, though.
Keep them up.
Anyway, well done, 80-year-old testicle man.
Let's do this email. We got a couple of these in their texts, I guess, in this case.
Let's do those right here, right now.
This is about the jugs of pee.
We got one from Julio.
It could be Julio, but I'm going to say Julio.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Some people will do that.
He's gone by the schoolyard.
I don't know if I've ever seen a Julio.
So I'm going to say, I'm going to say Julio.
Orange,
Orange, Julius.
It's not the same.
There you go.
No, not the same.
Not the same at all.
He says this, head-sized animation motion sensor snow globes with 30 random sayings.
So whatever you walk, sorry, so whenever you walk into the room, Bruce Willis and
insult you, Futurama, here we come.
Yeah.
So we were talking about this is about the holograms with Ozzy Osbourne that Jack Osbourne is pushing.
This is the, we said, you know, who would you want?
I love the idea of a, just a Bruce Willis and a snow globe.
Yeah.
We could 3D print one of those.
It just wouldn't move his head or anything.
But every room you take it into, it would need to say, come to the living room, have a few laughs.
Yeah.
Come to the bedroom, have a few laughs.
I guess you do it every time.
That's what he'd say.
Sorry, wrong answer.
Wrong answer, hutch, there you.
Hans.
Do you want to go for double jeopardy?
Where this question, really?
I'm going to tell him my name is Bill Clay.
And then the head will glance at a wall as if it's got names of people.
Uh-huh.
Oh, by the way, Bill Clay reference in, um, shoot, what was it?
Something just came out that, oh, the new 007 game.
Oh, really?
Has a Bill Clay?
Yeah, at one point,
somebody's,
uh,
James Bond,
young James Bond's trying to get infiltrate somewhere.
And they ask him who he is and he tells him he's,
his name is Clay,
Bill Clay.
Ah,
fantastic.
I laughed at that and I forgot to tell you about it.
Yeah.
Totally a thing.
Oh,
I'm,
I'm excited.
I'm excited to,
uh,
uh,
to eventually get that game.
It's very good.
Eventually.
It's excellent.
Yeah.
It's coming to Switch as well.
So,
or switch two,
so,
man,
there's a great indie sale going on with,
um,
switch right now where you can get Hollow Night for 10, 15 bucks.
You can get a couple recent, recent big games for cheap.
I picked up Ball X-Pitt because.
Very good game.
Yeah, it looks like a good game.
I'm like, I know we've talked about on the show here before, and it was 10 bucks.
And I'm like, yeah.
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I like that game a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah, I like their, they do a lot of indie stuff.
The problem with that store is it's sort of hard to sort in there.
Yeah, yeah, I guess that.
It performs better than the Switch 1,
but I still think they could do a lot to just make the store.
Also, have a cart system, so I'm not,
if I buy a 99 cent indie game,
I would like to be able to add that to a cart
and stay in there and keep looking at other stuff,
not have to go out and do my little piecemeal dollar purchase,
then go back and it's just dumb.
It is dumb.
I'm going to put this also in our chat.
Have a look at that and tell me,
so like I said,
I picked up Ball X-Pitt.
If you look at that and say,
oh, you also need to pick up blank, then I'll jump on it.
Big fan of Rotwood, although that's a giant discount, but I like it a lot.
Yeah, I looked at that and was like, okay, not quite the game,
game I kind of like.
Wonderful game.
Rottenwood's awesome.
And it's made by Clay Entertainment.
They just don't know how to make bad games.
They just everything they make is great.
UFO 50 is a no-brainer and everyone should own it.
Really?
This is one of the greatest video games ever.
made and it's literally 50 games.
Side scrolling platformer. Is that what it is?
It's 50 games.
Okay. All different.
Oh, really?
And they're all done kind of an 8-bit style, which is the idea. That's the point.
Yeah.
But there, it's amazing.
There's a doom. There's a, oh, okay.
There's all these games that like, here's one that's a lot like a thing you remember.
Or there's things that you would only play in a modern game, like just new gameplay ideas.
UFO 50 rules. I love that game.
I'm probably going to get that then, too.
My favorite thing that year, honestly.
18, 18 bucks.
Yeah.
Hollinite's good.
Not bad.
That price is okay.
Let's see.
Astroir, you played the shit out of.
Oh, multi-shoot adventures is such a great game.
Really?
Yeah.
Minichute?
Yeah, it's like a little, or mini-shoot adventure.
Is it adventures?
Yeah, mini-shoot adventures.
Yeah.
This is like, you're in a little ship and it's got alien shit and all that, but it's this top-down thing that plays like a Zelda game.
It's really?
So good.
Such a great game.
All right.
I'm going to be broke after all this.
Heard good things about Mio.
I haven't played it, but heard good things.
Let's see.
No Man Sky, you know about that.
And I know, $23 for No Man Sky.
That's great.
Because I imagine, you know, that of course includes,
I mean, how would it not include all the DLC and everything?
Yeah, that's true.
Rotato's amazing.
There's actually some really good games on here.
I know.
Disco Elysium is an all-timer.
See if Stars is really good.
Tunic is hard.
I don't know. It's pretty good.
Yeah. These are all good.
Yeah.
I don't think I've played.
Oh, no, Colth of Lamb I played. That's also excellent.
I want to say you've told me about that. It's like a...
Daughters really got into it.
Don't Starve kind of thing.
Kind of. That's funny you bring up Don't Starve. That's one of the clay games, and they make that Rottwood game.
Oh, really? Okay.
But I would say, oh, Cult of the Lambs close.
It's hard to explain.
It's like these cute little lambs and animals.
and stuff, but it's like all driven by your Satan worshipping cultists.
It's a weird mix of things.
It's pretty, it's cute and weird at the same time.
And it's also quite good.
It's like another rogue like and you build up a little hometown.
Okay.
You can sacrifice your followers.
And it's great.
It's very good.
Anyway, but you're in love a ball ex pit will keep you busy for a bit.
Yeah, that's what I figure.
And I think it's cheap, so I'll probably pick up UFO 50 and mini shoot.
adventures as well. That's a perfect trio
to get. Yeah. In particular,
Minishu. Spend 40 bucks and get 30
great, sorry, three great games
and one of which is 50 great games
in one. Mini shoot punches
so far up over its
weight limit. That's amazing. Cool.
All right. Excellent. Louleo, thanks
for that. Go back down to the school yard.
Let's talk to this in an honest person
who says, hey, S&B,
I had a similar reaction to too
much of an injection. It's talking about my
near OD on the
for the GLP ones.
It says, I took a larger dose than usual and went to the hot pot the next day.
Oh my gosh.
I just ate normal food.
I can't imagine this.
He says, I pushed the nausea aside and chow down on kimchi, bokchoy, and every meat I could get into the pot.
I was miserable for the rest of the day, but it was worth it because it tasted so good.
The thing with this semi-glutide is it slows down your digestion.
So all that kimchi and bok choy started to ferment in my system.
That's exactly right.
I woke up to the smell of sulfur burps.
Every minute I was burping up the rank of smell imaginable.
It was so bad that my wife has now banned me from ever-eating hot pot or any cabbage-related foods again.
I feel you, man.
I feel you.
I love that stuff, but don't do it on a double dose of that crap.
I can just imagine the sulfur, the stink coming out.
And I ate pretty normal for the first couple of days, but it still wrecked me in the
the same way. How you would do that with like a binging at a hot pod and not just lay down your life.
I don't know. Wow. That sounds just so bad. Anyway, keep your messages coming. Go to frogpants.com
TMS to email us, text us, voice mail us, however you feel like doing it. Today is a little nutty.
Resident Evil Live, Part 7, today at 1. Me and John Jagger playing through the rest of Resident
Evil 9. We're going to get through this damn thing. Followed up right after that with the PlayStation
State of Play live coverage with the whole core crew.
Cool.
So that's at three.
So if you just stick through the two hours of the play through at three, we'll kick
right off with the PlayStation State of Play.
This one might be a big deal.
There was a leak.
Let me put it this way.
A supposed leak that I think is grain of salt levels of leak, but still interesting
some of the stuff on there.
The fact that they're showing this in movie theaters as well as on the live stream makes
me personally, my bet is they're going to.
tease a PlayStation 6.
Maybe not outright announce anything on timing or price or any of that,
but like tease something.
And that's why I think they ran at theaters to do this.
And then their own theaters with the draft house.
I don't know if they're doing it in Alamo or not.
I have no idea.
You might know that better than me.
Yeah, I don't know.
I haven't gotten any, I still get notifications,
even though I'm out here.
But I haven't seen anything about Sony.
And the leak was like, you know,
a bunch of Wolverine information,
GTA-6 reveals.
Yeah, I'm excited for the Wolverine.
game. Yeah, there's a few other things
on that list, but grain
of salt, everybody. These happen every time
and they're often fake, so
we don't know. We'll find out today, though.
So watch us live. We're going to be doing that at frogpans.com
or sorry, frogpants.com or sorry,
frogpants.com or just go to
Twitch.com. Or do you go to
Twitch.combeck, either one.
There you go. Brian, you got anything
going on before we give these people a song and send
them on their way? Nothing going on.
Did a daily music headlines today.
Find out why
Sabrina Carpenter issued a restraining
order and see the lineup for the I-Heart music festival, which is a pretty damn good lineup.
And especially when compared to other recent music festivals that have been in the news
that are sloughing off people like a leper shed skin.
Oh, yeah.
Going real good for that.
Yeah, real good.
But you can still see vanilla ice, I think.
Yeah, and Brian and I will be performing at the 250 celebration.
We're pretty excited about it.
We're putting politics to the side.
We're going to just get up there.
A bunch of spots just opened up.
It'll be me on a playing the little automaton.
Yeah.
Can't wait.
It's going to be amazing.
We're going to leave you all breathless.
Yes, yes.
Hey, Enzi Shale wrote in and said,
this is my 50th orbit around our big yellow star.
Feels like I've been listening to you two gentlemen
for at least half of that orbit.
I'm a big fan of bands that sound like the like.
Oh, I see what I did there.
Or anything with a Prague or 90s vibe.
Influences are Tori's Cornflake.
girl era, Beatles' white album, or early deaf leopard high-end dryer pyromania.
Can the cover maister find something? Honestly, if it's not rap, country, hip-hop, I'll be happy.
They can help me forget it's been a half century. Sincerely, a Kiwi fan that unfortunately
doesn't make it to live streams as often as he'd like. And there you go. Happy to do that.
He says covermaster's choice, but I'm not going to go any further than what you started with.
The band The Like, that's one of my favorites. Before she was in, uh, J.J.
jams and phases, Zeeburg, Elizabeth Berg, started out in the band called The Like,
and was a girl group very much modeled after the vocal groups of the 50s and 60s.
And one of the things that she covered later when she was part of phases is Justin Bieber's
Love Yourself. And what I, what compels me the most about Zeeberg's voice is that she at the same
sounds sultry, but also heartbreakingly melancholy in her at the same time in her voice.
Love her stuff. Even their happiest phases songs. There's that aspect to it. It's a very unique thing.
It is. It is. She's just wonderful. This is her cover of or the phases cover of Justin Bieber's Love
Yourself. Here you go.
For all the times that you rain on my parade. Another cloud.
you get in using my name
you think you broke my heart
oh girl for goodness sake
you think I'm crying on my own
will I and I didn't want to write a song
because I didn't want anyone thinking
I still care I don't but
you still hit my phone up
and baby I've been moving on
and I think you should be something
I don't want to hold
My mama don't like you
She likes everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
I've been so caught up
And my job
Didn't see what's going on
Now I know
I should be sleeping on my own
Because if you like much
Then maybe you should go and love yourself
Still holding you should go
And you don't mean that you hated
my friends
the only problem was
with you and not them
and every time you told me
my opinion was wrong
and tried to make me
forget where I came from
and I didn't want to write a song
because I didn't want anyone
thinking I still care I don't
but you still hit my phone
off and baby I've been moving on
And I think you should be something that's everyone.
And if you should go,
the times that you made me feel small.
I fell in,
never felt so long.
Was I how fool to let you break down my walk?
Because if you like, you should go.
