You are listening to Adel DeZem. Hello, everybody.

Welcome to TMS. It is the morning stream for June 23, 2026. I am Scott Johnson. He is Brian of it. Good day to you. Good Tuesday to you. It is a Tuesday, isn't it? It is a Tuesday.

At some point, we should be getting our T-Mobile, go get free crazy bread at Little Cesar. And go get a free tropical cafe freeze or something like that. Sign me up, man. I'm ready for something free. Free would be good right now. Free is good. Yeah.

I noticed what I'm getting a lot of free right now is a lot of free smoke floating over from the south fire. Sure, yeah. This would have been like this would have been, I mean, not close to where we were, but visible from our hotel for sure because it's on that mountain right behind the downtown. Yeah, it's over there by the capital. and it's uh it may as of this morning may be contained but oh good that would have been annoying for us downtown because that smoke would have just been all up in our face but then we got this eureka fire out i don't know how far south 20 30 minutes south and it's blowing this way so it's just like man but it's perfect timing because none of you had to see that you got to see our mountains the way they were meant to be

seen uh you had some nice lovely weather while you were here for an artacular but holy shit this week is smoke week yeah yeah you know i'd like to not be breathing smoke when i'm doing the MS-150 right up there. Can, Logan be smoke-free? Can that be a non-smoking section? Well, it is a higher elevation, and I think there are no,

as far as I know, there are no big area fires out there. So you should actually be all right. Okay, all right. Most of the wind isn't blowing that direction. So I think it'd be okay. I say that, but you never know. Exactly.

Could easily be just horrible. Can't make any big guarantees, but I think it could be okay. I got an ethical, it's time for ethics. Okay. All right. Ethic, ethic question. Yep. Here's an ethics. Dear ethics. A neighbor ethic question, which we've had time to time here.

Oh, plenty. Plenty. Usually it's my, well, no, I take the back. It's usually it's 50-50. My crazy neighbors are Russian neighbors and your wacky Tesla neighbors and all that. I think he finally sold his place. They moved a while ago, Tesla. I don't know if we should have celebrated. You mentioned it, yeah. You should have celebrated. I mean, just a small celebration. Just a little like, yeah, sure. And mostly I'm talking about an era, not the people. We got to know them.

They were fine after this. Yeah. Yeah. They were immature and weird. They've had three kids since. It's fine. Anyway, something about having kids just makes you go, oh, yeah. It's kind of a dick move driving by and yelling F you in our car.

Probably shouldn't do that now that we have kids. Yeah, probably not. You know what I mean? Anyway, so we got the next door neighbor who may or may not be someone significant in the hockey world. but they are kind of in and out of their very they're very rarely home on on average they just aren't there very often and when they are there it's usually somebody else's there visiting or something's going on with like family or whatever um i think they go back to quebec all the time to see family and things like that and i noticed something in the last few days they're gone right currently

they're gone and we have pre-sprayed and done all this stuff to ensure that no hornets this year. We want no hornets all wedged up in our roof line. We don't want them in the eaves. We don't want them in the trees. We don't want them in these rock things that we had out front. Of course, sometimes they like to make a little burrow in there. You're bordering on a doctor's poem there. Yeah, I'm getting close. I just need to rhyme this shit. Yeah, exactly. We don't want them on the roof. We don't want them on my hoof. On my hoof. We don't want them. We don't want them stupid bees.

Stupid bees. I don't like those bees. Yeah. So they're, we're thinking, hey, we're, we're thinking, hey, we're We did our job. We got the aphids. They were sent packing early. We got the bees covered and all that. But Kim and I are out there chilling and I'm writing emails or something. She's doing something.

And then all of a sudden, two hornets flown around right near us. And I went, oh, that's interesting. I thought we sprayed for you bastards. So I'm starting to, I'm gearing up for like, let's get a can of the stuff and do one of the things. Yeah, yeah. But it's not our house. And I look over next door and this guy's got this high point of his heart. home that faces us in the back and way up wedged up in that little tippy corner is a big fat

freaking nest full of hornets. Oh, geez. An act of one too. So now enters the ethical question. Sure. Is it okay? I assume they also don't want them. So is it okay?

Because I can reach it from my backyard. Can I, if I go over there and spray one of those out of there and kill that thing and run like a girl and scream like I do. Uh-huh. Is that... Always do it after dust, by the way. I'll do it around dusk or later. Yeah, best time to do it.

But if I do that, am I breaking some neighborly law? That's a really interesting question. And they're not here and I can't text them. They've never given me their contact info, so I can't let them know. I... Geez. I think you're okay to do it. I mean, they're, you know, they may or may not be in the hockey world,

but they're definitely not like conservationists or... Not that I know of. They also are not members of Greenpeace. as far as you know and things like that. I think, I think, uh, I think you should probably do it. Yeah, I would do it. I think I would do it.

Like if it was, um, if it was crazy, well, I, we have a relationship with crazy neighbors. Let's see. Who do I, who do I not know in the neighborhood here,

looking around at my neighbors? When your Russian guy was here, could you do it? Would you do his? I would have had no problem shooting the Russian neighbors, bees. Okay. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah, When it comes down, because that, you know, it's going to be that, I assume it's that foaming, gloppy stuff that just like completely obliterates the nest, but also turns it into a soggy paper mache diaper. I think so.

That's, I think we got the kind that's supposed to be chemically more neutral, less, you know, going to hurt other stuff. So I don't know. Okay, good. I don't know how well it works. I mean, you know they have a, don't they the ones with the dog potentially named Scott? No, that. Oh, okay. Wait. I'm sorry, you're right.

I've never seen this animal since that day, by the way. So I don't know what's going on. So maybe they were dogs sitting or something. Yeah. But I don't have to. But remember, I don't have to. Well, the way this thing's situated. Yeah.

Maybe the dog could get there. I didn't think of that. He doesn't appear to be home. You know what I need to do? Find out if the stuff we got is like pet friendly. Is pet friendly? Yeah. Yeah.

If it is, then. If it is, I think I'm doing this. If it's not, the dog possibly with my name is an issue. Yes, if that's, I mean, again, if you're doing a lot of traveling, I mean, if you're, if you're maybe with a sports franchise and you're going to other cities to play away games and stuff or to coach away games, I don't know. Whatever you might be. You could be anything. Sure. Yeah.

Then you're not getting a dog. Yeah. or if you are, there are going to be people there all the time, like watching the dog. And I think, yeah, man,

Pops and her client, good question. Any risk of peeling paint? I don't know. Yeah, that's a good question. The rave asks, is it not trespassing?

I think if you can shoot it from your house without leaving your yard, which you probably can with one of those like super far shooter. That's really not that far. I would probably not even need like a stepstool. I can just get it right up there. And it is the side of a house where he's got a lot of growth and tree and bush and it's not really dog area anyway. Right.

I think, oh, man, it is such a, because you also don't want to like offend them or burn any bridges with them or something like that. But I mean, who's going to come home and say, oh, can't believe you killed that hornet's nest we were so busy cultivating? Well, you don't know what the French, the French Canadians, you know? Oh, that's true. they might have an attitude. I have no idea. I mean, honestly, it's probably fine, and they would probably thank me.

Part of me wants to, like, do it. Yeah. And then go around to their ring doorbell, bow to it. Hold up the sign. I killed your hornets. Or even talk, because I said, it'll record me.

So I'd just go, honorable visitor from the north. I hath murdered your, thine hornets. Find me if thou, need needest me and then I'll just bow and walk out of there. Yep. Yeah. I think I think you know what. I think I think you're okay to do it. All right. That was the question. I think I feel good too, but I didn't want to just, you know, I wanted to get other opinions. I trust Brian's opinion. Most of

the chat seems like it's okay. Yeah. So I don't know. It'll be fine. Look, I, that guy's, KT data said it in the chat. The guy's in a really good mood right now. I can't say, well, but he must be in a very good mood right now because a certain something happened. And so he's probably like, he'd probably be like, yes, very good, you did it. That's not his accent. No, no. I made that up. He'd be like, oh, thank you for dealing with my hornets.

Yeah, I hate the hornets. Wee, we. I guess don't, the Quebec. Here's some, no. Here are some Hortons. Yeah. There's some French baguettes and Hortons. That's right. Timbits. Thank you.

No, that Timbits, I guess, for Australian. What are the, no, those are Timbits. Tim Hortons. Yeah, those are the ones from Canada. Oh, those are. Tim Tams. Oh, Tim Tams. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

Do you ever get one of them Harry and David's packages? You know what I'm talking about? Yes, with the fruit. Yeah, and I just got one. And you just reminded me of it because there's a cookie type thing in there with like jamming it or something. They have the best freaking. grapefruit, like the ruby red grapefruit, that stuff, I'll be quite honest with you. I, um, what is it, chamfering? No, supreming. I supreme, supreme, supreme,

I supreme, the grapefruit. Oh, basically means you, you slice the peel off. Oh, that's what that means? So when I ever I peel an orange, I'm supreming the orange. No, uh, supreming is when you do it with a knife. Like basically you're, you're, um, going around the outside of it to, remove the peel in like in like strips if i remember correctly i could be i could be totally i've seen that being done before i didn't know how to name though like where they yeah they peel it and it's slowly when you go to a fancy um a fancy hotel with a breakfast buffet and they've got like here's the sliced pineapple and here's the sliced uh cantalope and honeydew and then they've also got the the the um grapefruit slices that are just the the inside of the grapefruit

but no peel. It's like they've suprimed them and then they do a horizontal slice across through the whole thing. So you can you can supreme your your thing you just said. What'd you say? Great fruit. You can supreme an orange too if you wanted to. So you could supreme an orange or grapefruit and you can

supreme a burrito and a or Diana Ross. Or Diana Ross. Yes. Yeah. That sounds painful. I wouldn't want to do it. Well then then she calls you dirty Diana. Anyway, no. Harry and David's grapefruit. It's like that.

That stuff, I just eat it straight up. No sugar, no nothing. Just suprem it. Give me the segments and boom, we're good. I do like a good grapefruit. Yeah. Been a long time, though. Are they in season?

I don't think they are right now. Summer, pretty close. Yeah. Science will find a way. They'll give us a tasteless rock of a fruit. It'll claim that it's in season. That'll happen. In my grandparents' house in California when I would go out there,

Before they moved to Westlake Village, they had a place in San Fernando Valley on near Mulholland. Anyway, somewhere over there. Yeah. Like the drive. Like the drive. And they had, you know, a couple dozen grapefruit trees. And when I would stay there, my job, one of my jobs was to go and get grapefruits off the ground and then also use their little turn. And like they had a little, it was like a cup on a stick, but it was like a half a cup.

And so you'd put the grapefruit in it, and then you'd turn, and it would pop the grapefruit off of the stem. So you'd have to find the good ripe ones, and then you'd go, shump, like a little sock with a foot in it. And then you'd go, shump, spin it around, and it would pull the grapefruit off the tree. And then we'd have fresh grapefruit that morning. You'd live in like a true human being off the land, you know? Exactly. And then, and then only after all that, could I get in the swimming pool and spend the entire day in the swimming pool? Well, there you go.

Eat your great fruit, get the swim. Exactly. That's the rule. That's the order that has to be in. A quick shout out to Friends of the Program. So I know you remember them, but anyone out there, remember Steve and Lynn in Las Vegas? We top golf with them that one year. Yeah, he ran a gun range.

Oh, I didn't know that at the time. That's cool. at the time. Yeah, he invited us to go to it, and we just never, it never worked out because I think it was, um, the year we would have gone,

I think was the TMS Vegas that was going to be in 2020. And we were like talking about going to his gun range. Um, but if he still has it, then I think that would be a fun TMS, uh, fun TMS thing. It'd be the first time I ever shot a gun would be at that range.

Oh, you've never done a range before. Never done any, the, I've done a shooting gallery. That is it. That is the extent of it. You can do like, what's it called? Is it skeets? Where the clay pigeon stuff, you ever do that?

I guess if you haven't shot, you haven't shot. No. No. That's really fun too. Just on the, just on the Nintendo with the dog going, well, you're as trained as anybody then. Yeah, that's all you need. A little time with the NES. Listen, I've played time crisis. I've played House of the Dead. I've played, uh, yeah, he shot things. Area 51.

Sure. I played all those arcade shooting games. That would be perfect. That weird. No, same company made it. Bally Midway made the Aerosmith game. Do you ever play that? I've never played the Aerosmith one.

It was a shooter like that. Really? Yeah. Pre-rendered targets. And it's like Area 51 graphics. It looked just like it. But it was always... Live Tyler.

Yeah. But it was always like, you know, Stephen Tyler in the corner going, what? Like animated version of them. They're always singing and running. around. Honestly, if I'm honest, I don't remember the lore.

Was it some of these or something they were running from? Or what were you actually shooting? I'm not entirely. I don't remember. I remember it being very nonsense. It was like, this is just an excuse. Like, Journey had a game in the 80s. I don't remember that game. Oh, it was horrendous. This is really, really bad. Yeah, to get the band past all the groupies and stuff to the to their scarab so they could fly away.

Yeah. Yeah, to their big journey scourab. To the big journey scourab. I forgot about that. Oh, my God, point blank. Yes, you are 100% right gaming savant. Point blank is the best arcade shooter. That game was fantastic. I don't know if I know that.

Point blank. Oh, had a very cartoony, big bulgy eye dude with a mustache was the mascot. Let's see. I had it for the... Originally arcade game, looks like. Yeah, yeah, but then they made it for the PlayStation. Oh, here it is. Is this the machine?

that's it yeah that's the one yeah i don't know this one weird i thought i'd seen all these and it was like silly games like um it was it was like a bunch of little micro games like you'd have a a tin can bouncing you'd have to shoot it before i hit the ground and make it bounce again and then shoot it again and then and then another thing would be going through a uh a warehouse or something like i was it was god it was great all right yeah you made me curious might be one we cover we haven't done a gun game on play retro in a while oh yeah that'd be a good one to cover yeah oh is this the here is this the guy you were talking about the mask yes he just looks like he just looks like he's

walking around a magnum go to lay it for dinner again magnum totally it's like yeah it's like off brown Mario and Luigi yeah very weird he's going on a safari yeah strange yeah no this is great. Well, that's great. Anyway, the reason I'm saying this, Steve is having his 52nd birthday this week, and Lynn had this to say. She sent this to us. She says, Steve, thank you for being such a great husband to me and a wonderful

father to our boys. My only regret is that I have Bonitis. That's a future on a reference. Oh, okay. Happy birthday, you old fart. P.S. Your wiener is not small. It is slightly above average. That is a part I did not expect,

but that's in her email. So there it is. Lynn, uh, Lynn's a very good wife, uh, making sure that everybody knows that. That's great. Putting up with all kinds of stuff. Um, yeah, the bonnet. Or is she talking to Steve or is she talking to one of us? I couldn't remember if this was a, that's a good point.

She's real vague about it. Hmm. What are you trying to say, Lynn? Yeah. Yeah. Um, the bonitis episode of Futurama is maybe. That's like top four episodes ever. So, I mean, I know I've seen it because I've seen every episode,

except for the current season, which I'm only three episodes. episodes into. So, so I probably need to go back and watch that. A little older. I want to say it might have been, might have been pre 16 by 9, which would have been early aughts, but it's basically this crazy sales guy. It's like a multi-level marketing sales guy that has just has this affliction called Bonitis. Yeah, it's too good. It's too good. I love it. Nice. All right, Brian, what did you get up to last night? Yeah, we watched a movie that Monica recommended and it is called They Will Kill You. And this is, this is very stylized action comedy horror film, kind of like the Ready

or Not films very much in that, in that vein. But I'd say even more, even more stylized where the fights are almost like these choreographed dances and sliding around and noises and shun and, and, and, and, and things like that. I mean, it's a very, uh, a very cool visual of the fights.

And it's a lot of fights. If you don't like, if you don't like a lot of fighting and blood, then this is not for you. But it is, um, uh, takes place in a hotel called the Virgil,

uh, which, uh, Zazi beats shows up at. And, um, to, uh,

is it, is the premise that she wants to be a housekeeper? I can't remember what the actual, what she says. This is a woman takes a job of, has house housekeeper in new york high rides unaware of the building's history of disappearance as she humiliizes the community is shrouded in mystery there you go and that's exactly uh all i'll tell you is that she shows up there uh with that premise and um check out the

people you get you get malphoy you get tom felton you get heather graham who i don't think we've seen in something in a long time been a minute yeah uh she's still she's just as great as great as ever patricia arquette with the weirdest i think i Irish accent. She's interesting at this stage of her career because every voice she does is a little. Like even her medium. No, what was the recent one with, um, shit. The one on Apple TV.

Oh, yeah, severance. Severance. Holy shit. Yeah. Right. Even that, she, she affected like this strange, not accent, but like a weird vocal thing in that. She's into it right now. That's her deal. You know what? I'm all, I'm here for it. It's totally fine.

Yeah, I keep forgetting. Patricia Arquette was married to both Nicholas Cage and Thomas Jane. Oh, my Lord. So she's making her way through all the Marvel Knights, basically, is what she's doing. One guy could eat a peach for hours and the other one was hung. So there you go. Well done. That's right. Yes, exactly. What's James Remar, the pig's head? I probably don't want to know what that is yet.

You don't want to know what that is, but, yeah, you know, you're James Remar for from uh love him yeah everything and all that stuff from everything yeah um uh yeah no it's very good it's streaming right now on hbo i think just just landed on on hbo this last weekend and uh uh it's it's a lot of fun it's um uh it's a great i don't know it's it's a it's a great kind of kill bill meets trying to think of something that's got a little bit more You remember that triple R movie we saw with all the fighting, that Indian three-hour epic thing? Think Kill Bill meets RR. Oh, my Lord.

All right. You're kind of selling me on it. Yeah, it's good. This is very good. I think you'll get a kick out of it. All right, cool. Tina was close, by the way. I will say this.

Once the fighting started in her hotel room, Monica will know, you know, roughly where this takes place. Tina's like, yeah. I'm not sure I want to watch this. And I said, stick with it for a minute. I think you're going to, I think you're going to like it because I've watched the whole trailer and heard Monica's description. And Tina was totally into it by the end of it. So, yeah. There you go.

Sometimes our wives do like what we like. Sometimes. Sometimes they do. Sometimes not. How many bare feet out of 10 would you give this? Oh, I'd give it out of 10 bare feet, an easy, an easy, seven and a half to eight bare feet? That's a lot of bare feet. It's a lot of bare feet.

Yeah. I'm making a new movie. My 10th movie. A lot of bare feet. Oh, blip. Oh, did we blip? No. We blipped.

Oh, no. Don't tell me we blipped. I'm sorry. No, no. We had such an opportunity for no blip. I know. I'm sorry. Didn't want to be the bear of bad blip.

All right. Looks like it's back. Yeah. Now, that's good to know. So we made it 20 minutes into the stream and we had a blip. Okay. Okay. These are all learning, teachable moments.

That's right. We can use all. all of this data for good. Yeah, and for all we know, that was a one-off that's not tied to any of this. Could have easily been something else. Yeah, we're trying to, we're trying not to have false positives here, people. All right? We're doing our best.

Brian, it's time for us to discuss the world at large. It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by Daily Music Headlines.

Anyway, keep going. But anyway, lots of great stuff you can find out about by going to daily music headlines.com. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts or add it to your echo device by telling the lady inside it that you want daily music headlines added to your daily briefing. Yeah, she'll do it.

She'll do it too. She'll do it. Just watch out. Yeah, watch out. She's up to no good. That's right. In today's news, we have a slight gaming story. Slight. Yeah, it's not really about gaming, but it is a story. So here it is. Gaming PC serves owner, saves owner, sorry, from a bullet fired by the neighbor's dog.

Great. Not the neighbor, not some kid, not whatever, the dog. Last, you know, last week we had a dog that shot through a door or a car door or truck door at a convenience store, right? in a parking lot, shot a lady. Yeah, we got all kinds of pet and baby problems. The dogs are finally having their day. Yeah. Dogs want their time in the spotlight, the shooter spotlight.

In a story, here's how they wrote it, in a story that could have come straight from the Simpsons. That's a terrible, terrible reference to make for this guy. Techspot.com do better. A gaming PC owner says their rigs saved them from being shot after their neighbor's dog. Yes, a dog accidentally discharged a firearm. The bullet traveled through the wall,

headed toward the person but has changed its directory. Directory. I don't like this directory. It used C-H-D-I-R in pseudomode. Went back to Dewey Decimal System. Right, exactly, yeah. It changed trajectory after hitting a RAM stick. Really?

Oh, the most expensive part now is the RAM stick. The RAM stick. which these days is more expensive than bulletproof shielding. Well, actually, I guess that's true if you put them all together. Probably is. Redditor Angel Baby ZZ writes on the PC MasterA subreddit. They woke up in the middle of the night to a bang and glass hitting them in the face. Boy, your PC's a little close to your bed.

No kidding, yeah. That's where you're gooning all night. You're gooning. Gooning on your computer. Ew. While this person was presumably in a days, the neighbor arrived crying, shaking, and repeatedly apologizing, terrified somebody who had been hurt.

Incredibly, it turned out that the firearm had been discharged by none other than her dog. After police arrived and investigated, the Redditor was told that they would have been hit by the bullet while they were sleeping, had their PC not altered the trajectory, specifically the ramstick. The ramstick. Love it. That's my Ramstein coverman. Man, very excited.

Oh, my God. They found the bullet under their pillow. Yeesh. Yeah. That's buried the headline. No kidding. So, yeah, it really did come close. Damn.

Says that it affected the motherboard and deflected off of the G-Skill Trident Z-R-G-B ram stick. They are so into this ram stick, man. No kidding. They just fascinated. This tech spot article brought to you by the G-S-Skill-Trydenz-R-G-B-R-G-B-Ram stick. Yeah, the rare. Get your ram sticks today before AI gobbled them up. That's amazing. Oh, fantastic.

We got time for one more. Let's see. Oh, this is good. A bunch of students doing a little blackmail at school allegedly threatened to expose a teacher's only fans account to get better grades, according to a warrant. Great. You'll give me an A or I'll leak your nudes. Oh, fantastic. A high school teacher in Georgia accused of sexually abusing kids was potentially blackmailed by students who discussed.

covered her only fans account to get a better grade. Maris Nichols, age 25, she's a teacher at Alexander High School, allegedly had sex with a student twice. Shouldn't be doing that. Same student or? It doesn't say. Yeah. I guess they would have said allegedly had sex with two different students.

Oh, maybe they probably would. Maybe. Yeah. I don't trust anyone's writing anymore. So who knows? It's probably an AI bot wrote all these stories for all we know. According to a search warrant, the student was black, then blackmailed her with knowledge of her only fans account to get a better grade. So that same

student. Same student. Okay, wow. All right. Previous arrest for us. Funny not to say, I'm going to blackmail you with the fact that we had sex. It's like, I know, we'll just go over the only fans page. Yeah, where you're showing your feet or whatever you do. Right.

It's all kinds over there, right? I don't know. It's all kinds, yeah. I have no idea. Never. I think there's a I think there's a woman over there on OnlyFans who's using a a Thanos Infinity Gotlit

dildo or a butt plug holder that was designed by yours truly. That's right. That's right. There's my claim to fame on only fans. If anyone out there's

a big only fans person and happen to see Brian's fist of glory right in about it, let us know. Yes, please do. Or maybe you want

to keep that to yourself. I don't know. Yeah, who knows? Let's see. Previous arrest warrants for Nicholshead. She had sex with a student twice.

on April 23rd inside of a schoolroom closet. Oh, he smelled like glue and paper in there. Yeah. Yeah, paste. It's a high school closet. Yeah, rubber cement. There you go. Right, there we go.

Not lube. Oh. Gross. That would not be good lube, by the way. No, no. I'm not that I'd have any knowledge of that. I really don't. Let's see.

Previous. Oh, another time inside of a car. But the new warrants revealed she allegedly had sex. with a very, sorry, with a different student on May 3rd and also sent inappropriate pictures and videos to several other victims. So she's... The day after inside the car, she had sex with a different student thing. Yeah, I don't know. They didn't say what she teaches.

Let's see. Well, I think we can guess what she teaches. Yeah, I know. Well, she's teaching a lot of sex ed. I can tell you that. Yeah. But there's no like, I was hoping it would say, you know, I don't know, applied English or some boring subject. but she's just like,

I'm going to do it with my students and fuel my sexual addiction online. Yeah. Anyway. They have open enrollment at that school. Just out of curiosity. No. Just wondering.

Just. Pure curiosity question. There's nothing tied to that. Oh, they haven't charged the kids and they haven't decided if they're going to with blackmail because the other stuff she did was so much worse.

They're like, all right, well, these are just dumb kids trying to. Wow. You know, kids try to get better grades. Lots of ways. I got, dude, I was failing a class because of attendance. Yeah. And because I drew a picture of the teacher mutilating a cat because it was a biology class and we were, we were doing cat dissections. Uh-huh. I drew that for him. He saw it. I thought I was in trouble. Pulled me in his office. It says, if you let me have this drawing, if you finish it and let me keep it, I'll move your grade up to pass. I'll give you a C. Seriously. Really? Yeah. To this day, it's a bit of a blur why that worked or happened. I also now I question was he a psycho and he just like depictions of like you know what I mean you know what he wanted he knew he saw something in you and said if I do this I'm going to foster his creative direction and he's going to be a famous cartoonist and podcaster someday there you go that it had to be it he's banked he's he's cashed in sometimes it worked it worked yes yes well done mr forgot his name but he wore a lab coat looked like a nerd had this weird obsession with like drawings of cats being mutilated. Apparently show.

Wow. Kind of freak me out. All right. Well, that's enough of the news. Let's take a look at what we should be doing this weekend. Here's a tangent for him. Be careful. May cause drowsy.

Well, well, well, what do we have here? It's Dan Patrice, everybody, the tabletop man, and also a hardworking dude in the pharmaceutical world. How's it going? Greetings programs. Before we get started, and I do miss you guys, I hope everybody. We totally missed you. We missed you with that thing, man. great. We had fun. I had people say, where's

Dan? I said, he's in the land of busy. That's right. Well, you know, it's funny because I feel like I have Concrued, even though I wasn't even at the country. Oh, that sucks. This is one of those weird years where, like, I always like to say, although now that I'm getting older, I don't know if I

can say it anymore. Like, I never get sick, but when I do, it's usually pretty nasty. It usually gets sick, like, one time in the winter, but I was sick about a month ago, then I kind of get over it, but then my wife got sick, and then she got over it, and then she got sick again. And then she gave me to me again. It's been like, and of course, North Carolina has about eight different allergy seasons.

So this is allergy season number two that we're going through right now. So it's just been a mess. But I do have. So, yeah, if I do cough or anything, I'm fine. I just can't get rid of this crud that's in my chest. I get it, dude. Yeah, I got over that briefly. Right before Nurtacular, I got over a thing and then got loud at Nurtacular.

And then my voice was shit. It's still kind of weird. It's not exactly right. It's a little rough, but it's, it's, it's, probably better than it was for sure. Oh, way better. That first few days, I thought I was a different person. I was going to have to reintroduce myself

to everybody. I do have a good stray bullet story for you guys. Oh, really? Let's hear. So being here in lovely North Carolina, pretty much, even though Apex where I live is kind of like growing quite a bit, we have friends that live kind of a little bit further away in New Hill, which is basically like

Apex adjacent, but it's still kind of a middle of nowhere enough where they have got like a bunch of acres, and they're kind of in a piece of land that's kind of next to US one, which is a pretty, it's kind of like a middle of nowhere, but major highway. Well, a friend of ours, she was doing the dishes one day, and a bullet came through the window right in front of her and missed her and went into the wall. Wow. And so what ended up happening, like long story short, when you get to the bottom of what everything, there's a dude that's on the other side of the highway, which is like acres away. So apparently this

guy, he's also in middle of nowhere, he's got like a big berm or whatever, what you're supposed do. He was just firing bullets, I guess, in his backyard. And one must have went through the ground, like the, you know, where you have it all built up. Like, you know, you have dirt built up behind the targets and everything. It must have went through there, went across the highway and then went through their land and then hit into their house. Now, all of this sounds like amazing BS. If I didn't know the person, it didn't see the window, I'd be like, okay, whatever. But the whole thing is, like, and then when the cops were talking to them, they're like, well, there's not really anything we could do because they have all the things in place

it's far enough away this is kind of like a freak accident that there's really you know we could ask him you know and a guy was you know apologetic he's not gonna pay I don't even know if he paid for the window or anything but basically you know he had to basically make sure he was he built back his crap up but

it's just insane how like stray stuff like that I always worry about the ones they shoot in the sky like you're like yehah and then bang bang and then those go somewhere and they come down pretty far and they hit whatever terminal velocity is for a bullet of that size and if you're under there,

you can get whacked in the head maybe or something. So I do remember, so Brian, well, both of you guys are, I don't know if this movie was ever on Film Sack, but do you remember a movie in which that happened? It was a comedy. No. How old?

God, it sounds really familiar. How old is it? So it's probably about 20 years old. I'll tell you, the late great James Gandalfini was in it. That's about shooting. Oh, is that the Mexican? Yes. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. I don't remember that. Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts. Oh, no. It wasn't Julia Roberts. It was the elf queen. What's her name? Cape Lanchette. Cape Lanchette. I thought it was Julia Roberts. I thought it was her.

She's laying in the bus. And then bang, suddenly there's something happens to through the bus window. No, no, no. So this is one where it happens kind of at the beginning where there's. Oh, oh. Oh, we went through a tunnel. you're back now you're back okay good alright

um so we thought you were back you're not back no you're not back I'm back now are you back now I think you're back now

okay I'm sorry so uh so it's the guy remember the kid he was from numbers I think he's actually playing Supergirl's dad um

is it Crumults is that his name the new Superman's dad new Supergirl's dad oh oh Supergirl's dad so and he was in the numbers he's just he was also the elf and um he was is oh yeah is it david crummels yeah david cromels that's anyway so he's playing a big schmuck at the beginning of the movie and he's got uh you know

he shoots a a bullet up in the air and it comes down and it just puts a big hole in his skull oh okay okay that is not what i was thinking of the one i'm thinking of is called babble 2006 it's brad pitt and kate Blanchet and there is this exact kind of scenario but it happens while they're on vacation somewhere they're in a bus and suddenly a bullet out of no while they were just chilling and watching the scenery go by a bullet just rips through that window and hits click Kate Blanchet in the neck oh and Brandon hits out he doesn't know what to do and I've got that's the one I was thinking babel is that BABEL like the yeah like the tower like the drama it was a drama yeah it's really quite good if I remember right overall it's like a good movie but that scene was like

Like, that's rough. James. Thanks a lot. Yeah. So before I let you know about a fun little card game, what could you guys tell me the, the most fun game you guys got to play while at Nerdtacular? Oh, man.

I didn't get to play anything at NerdTacto. Oh, no way. I was so busy. Oh, I was so busy with everything. We were swamped. There was no way. I made two trips walking through the board game room, but never, never played. However, I did bring a game there that a lot of other people enjoyed called Da-Dada,

which was purchased by IceWorm who couldn't make it to Nurtacular and said, I'm going to buy a game, give it to you, take it to Nurtacular, and then it's yours after that. And it is a game where you invent a language to describe cards that you place out. And it was hilarious.

We played it before. We played it at a Denver Tadpool meetup, and it was such a great game. Yeah, BioCow was in there saying, Da-Dada was so much fun and Fleming. And, yeah. So a big, big thumbs up to da, da, da. Yeah, that's cool.

I didn't have a chance to play anything either. But we did have, the room was popping. People are in there, having a great time and all sorts of stuff in and out of there and all that. There was one of my only regrets. But I never had time. Even back when we did this at Snowbird, I never had game time. It just never happened. Vegas, we make a chunk of time and go, this is for board games and we all set and do them.

Exactly. where there's nothing else going on that has to be right. It has to be done. Yeah. Yeah. It is always tough, especially when you guys are running the thing. That's why people always talk about like, oh, hey, I want to play games with you. Because the charity I run, the gamers for cures every year, you know, it's an 18-hour board game marathon.

People are like, oh, make sure you sit down and play games. And when you're running around with a chicken with your head caught off, just running things, you never have a chance. No matter, you know, especially like the thing like Nurttacker, you got, you got days. You're like, nope. Still don't have days. So I totally get that 100%. So let me ask you guys this. Being, I mean, you guys aren't, I wouldn't say quote unquote Midwest,

but so every kind of area has a little bit of kind of trick-taking game. You know, whether it be Spades. Oh, sure. Uker is like the famous Midwest one, and Spades was, I think, is more of a southern thing. People play hearts, people play different versions of anything. Are there any kind of trick-taking games that you guys, you know, that you gravitate towards or that you learned? Well, when I was younger, there was a game called.

smash and our family was obsessed with it. You played it with regular decks of cards, but everybody had their own deck. And so if you could have up to eight people and it meant eight decks of cards. And the only thing you had to do is make sure that none of the card backs matched because you had to be able to count whose cards were who at the end and do a score thing. This smash game literally for like a good, I don't know, 10 years of my youth, probably from age 12 to 22. If our families were together, we were playing smash. That's the one where you've got You know everybody

When you grab an ace you put in the center People are trying to put the next card on top Sequentially While they're playing kind of a solitaire Yeah, that's exactly it yep Yes And you have your 11 pile Which is the pile

Which is the pile You're trying to get rid of And then you have to... Yeah, we called it hell It is kind of hell a little bit Yeah Yeah Yeah

That game rules though And it was like such a big part Of my growing up But it was just playing cards It wasn't like an actual Game game And that's what's always so much fun especially at, you know, different, especially over the summer, too.

I'm making different family gatherings, whether it be, you know, Fourth of July, holidays, things like that, or the summer where you were just kind of hanging out on a weekend and stuff. You know, I always played a lot of spades. For anybody out there that doesn't know, kind of a trick-taking game is like one person, for a very, very easy one, one person will lead a certain suit, and then everybody kind of has to follow suit

and the highest card of that trick ends up winning it. When you get your card, kind of looking at what you've got, and you're going to make bids, And you're going to have different bids and you're trying to get your bids and you're going to get different points. Right. Now, so fast forward to what I want to talk to you guys about is called, it's either Luz or Luz, which was kind of a fairly newer one that came out. What this does is actually really cool. I kind of love.

So as we know, there was a thing kind of like tariffs and such. That was a big thing for the last couple years. Oh, heard about that. Yeah. Heard about those things. It came up somewhere before. So right now, because of a lot of tariffs, and again, remember how long it takes game? to kind of get produced, published, and put out into the world.

They got to come over, for lack of a better turn, term the slowboat from China. And that's kind of how everything comes. So you're not making as many, because of a lot of the tariffs and stuff, people weren't making huge games. You're going to see a lot of small car games for at least this year or the next year where it's going to be a lot of, like, kind of trick-taking games and such. So this is why games like this, you're going to see a lot more of this year. But this is, and they're going to have to do things a little bit different.

Now, do you guys remember a game called Hanabi a few years ago? Hanabi? Yeah. Hanabi? Only if you mentioned it, I think. So it's been a while, but I may have mentioned it early on. So Hanabi was an interesting game in which you're kind of playing either like with the game or the mindware. But basically you had a hand of cards, but you weren't allowed to look at them.

Everybody else was looking at them. But you could see everybody else's cards. And in Hanabi, you're trying to get basically, you're trying to put sequence of cards down. in front of you, you can ask different questions. You have a certain amount of questions you can ask. They're trying to put things down in front of you, and you're trying not to make any mistakes in the different suits. But you can see among other people,

and again, you're only allowed to communicate so much. But you can't look at your own cards. You have to, like, assemble suits of your cards with other people telling you what they are. Right. And I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure, like, early on, I'm trying to remember if it's been a while since I played that game.

Pretty sure early on, like, people put them in an order for you and then pass. But so you, because people that can look. So in Luz, it's similar. It's a trick-taking game, which is say you're playing with four people. Everybody gets dealt to hand the cards. Now, you look at your cards. You're putting them in order, basically from left to right, in each suit and each number. And then you're kind of putting them together and you're passing them to the right.

So the person on the right then cannot look at them, but then flips them up. Now, the key here is that when it's handed to you, the thing is that, you do know is that let's just say there's three purple cards that you can because the backs are the same color as the front you just don't have the number on them uh and that's basically so you can tell that you have so you know what suit you have to play if you can but and what's also cool is from left to right in your hand it'll be the smallest card's going to be on the left and the largest card's going to be on the right so then you kind of have a little bit of knowledge going on there so depending on how many cards you have and then you can also see everybody else's cards except for your own so you know

what numbers other people have and they have to play them. You know, so when a purple is led, you're like, well, I have three purples I'm left to right. I see Brian only has the one of purple. I see Scott has the four and five of purple. Well, maybe I have a chance to, you know, maybe I have a chance to win this one. So before you're

going, you're looking at the back of your hands and you're making kind of bids. You're putting these little little chits out. Gems, yes. Exactly. Little gems out. So you have to do your bid. There's one gem that kind of like gives you a little freebie, like over, you know, an overbid, so to speak.

So you're having to bid. And again, with that little bit of knowledge, you can kind of be like, all right, well, I don't want to win this one. I think I'm going to take one of these others later. So you have a little bit of knowledge, and it's really cool to play. Just kind of, it definitely takes a round before you kind of get into it.

There's also the yellow is the Trump, which is, you know, if you don't have a green and somebody leads with green, you can then Trump if you know you need one. Okay. But again, obviously not. Yeah. Yeah. And you can.

You can't throw the Trump unless, obviously you can't cheat. Everybody's looking at your card, so you're not going to be able to cheat anyway. So you always worry about that and things like Spades if somebody's, you know, catching somebody cheating or anything. But this, it would be pretty hard to, well, it would be pretty easy to accidentally cheat, but it would be pretty easy for somebody else to be like, no, you got a lead with the purple. You got a cripple set right there. Looks like three to five players, about 30 minutes per game. That's not long.

Yeah, and it's really going to be quick because you're only playing like, you know, what four hands, I think is what it is. So it's another one of those where, hey, if you don't like it, go ahead and shuffle up and go ahead and play Flip 7 with a vengeance. Yeah. Which, yeah. And that's the thing. I'm thinking this weekend it's like, oh, I can't wait to play some Flip 7 the night before the ride because it'll be us and Uncle George and Aunt Barb. So we're going to get some Flip 7 going wherever we're at. Oh, love it.

Have you gotten? So there's a new one, Flip 7 with a vengeance. No, have not gotten the new one. You talked about this and I'm excited for it. It is so good. and there's a lot more screaming and yelling because you're getting screwed by everything. There's a lot less like care bear cards in there

where like things that'll help you, there's a lot more things that'll screw each other, but it's just as much fun. They have this unlucky seven card where when you draw or, you know, when you do draw it, I'm trying to remember whether you give it away or it's just when you draw it, you lose all your other cards that are in front of you are gone,

except for that seven. So if you happen to be working on something and you get that 7, you're screwed. And then there's the only other kind of good card that's kind of in there is the Lucky 13, which counts as its own 13. So if you already have a 13, you're not busting. Oh, right.

It helps you to be able to. That's one of the few really good cards that are in there. But yeah, Flip 7 would have vengeance. I highly recommend that. There's a subtitle. It just says, no one's safe. I like that. Oh, absolutely.

Yeah, you're almost never safe in that game. It's crazy. Yeah. I think we played four rounds the other night. Everyone in my family won at least once except for me because generally like anything else, it's let's pick on dad. Oh, yeah. No, you're the target.

I get it. That happens around here. Yeah, that's the deal. Well, that's fantastic. Look at these two fun games that everybody can play. And Dan, I hope your cold gets better, man. Oh, I appreciate it. Hey, if you guys want to talk about this Kickstarter before you leave, it's only got a few

minutes to go, but it'll be late pledges. It's a really cool one based on the War of the Dragon. I mean, Wheel of Time. Go War of the Dragon, Wheel of Time. One of my co-hosts on the gig all-stars, Ryan Shun, who everybody should also know from Man versus Meeple. He's one of the designers in it. I wanted to give everybody, it's over a million dollars,

so probably everybody's already seen it already, but it's a very cool game. It's a two-player asymmetric game with a really good strategy. If you're looking for kind of a fun, heavier strategy, kind of two-player game, this would be good for it. It's not for everybody, but I think it would be very good. I'm sorry, guys. No, that's great.

Get it in there. That's a good one. Yeah, hell yeah. Who's doing this? Dyerwolf's doing it? Yeah, Dyerwolf is, they do a lot of online games, and they have Dyerwolf, you know, publishing where they've got a lot of great board games. They're dire wolf, I like them. They make red shit.

They're also in Denver, Brian, so if you ever want to tour the Dyerwolf Studios, that's probably. Oh, I wonder. Yeah, they're the ones who make Clank, Clank and Dune Imperium and such like that. So, I mean, you guys have definitely heard of those Diderwolf. Yeah, those guys are great. Yeah, go check it out. War of the Dragon, Wheel of Time. Just search for War of the Dragon, Kickstarter.

get it. That's how I found it. Super easy search. And like you said, it's in post support, but you can still get in there while you can. Dan, I hope you feel better. Best of the family. And may all hockey coaches take care of their bees. Yeah, let's go caves. Go caves. Wait, go caves. Do you say go caves? Go caves. All right. Go caves. I don't know who caves are. The man caves. Go man caves. The South Carolina man caves. Fantastic. Hot news team. Can't wait to see how they do. All right, moving down the road. We got a, I got a video I need to share with you.

Okay. This is something I found on TikTok. That happens sometimes. And sometimes I find them so funny that I have to share them. And this time I have to share it on the air. I don't know why this caught me so funny here. Let me make sure it looks okay before I play it. Whoops.

Let's do. Oh, geez. All right. So some guy just following some guy on a Dooley truck, one of these big, ridiculously-sized trucks. Super wide. But no, I'm not going to haul your mattress. Yeah. So here's what he does.

He just decides in his own car. He's filming when this was dash cam. He decides to make his own song. So here you go. I'm a big boy. I'm a real big boy. I'm a big boy. I got a big waiter in a drive around town.

A big old waiter. Make my mommy proud to drive around town. I drive around town. I got a big old ween around town. He goes on like three blocks. And I couldn't stop laughing at it. I don't know why I found that so funny, but I had to share it. I think the only inaccurate part is that the guy has a big wiener.

Clearly, the size of that truck is a very small weiner. Yeah, I think he's compensating is what he's doing. I think he's compensating. For listeners only, that was a giant, huge duly, I think F-350 or something. Something. Trucks that only should be used for like massive moving shit. Like there's no point in this to be a commuter car. These are the ones that always come into my lane when they're,

they're in a left turn lane because they can't stay in their lane when they're making left turn because they feel like they're going to drift like Vin Diesel. Yep. Like a literal diesel, these guys. Like a literal diesel. Big old bastards. All right. Joe and Canada wrote in about All-Stars. He says, Good Morning Soup and Buttered Biscuits. I was unable to catch the nerdtacular live streams as I was working. I look forward to Battle of the Frog Pants All-Stars. I haven't found it posted anywhere. Scott said something about copyright issues. Is it possible to put it on YouTube as private video or avoid that, sorry, to avoid that and share the link,

or just put the file up on Google drives so those of us can watch it can. Love the show though. Joe and Canada. All right, so here are the current status. We have the videos ready to post now, so that part's done. I want to put them up as single videos in a series.

If I put them on YouTube, even if it's in private, they still ban them. It doesn't matter. You can't just do a private video and have it. Or unlisted is how it have to be. But even if it was private, They still check, they still copyright check everything. So it's not like a, I can't get around that. Can't put them on Twitch because Twitch also gave us warnings in the Vod.

So I think I'm going to do Vods there. So what I think I'm going to do is make them Patreon posts that are public. So anybody can get them, but they'll be on the TMS Patreon because it feels like AllStars is the most TMS centric or the most adjacent. So having them up there for anybody to get. no locks on it, no hidden behind paywall, none of that, just make it public. Patreon has never come after me for anything. So I think that's probably our safest bet. So that's what we're going to do.

I'm going to put them up there. Jack Conti saves the day again. I guess so. Thanks, Jack. You did it. You got some weird new stuff, though. I don't like their... Some of their changes are weird.

Trying to get my head around some of it. Oh, really? Yeah, they're trying to make a Twitter competitor called Quip. Oh, they've already got it. Yeah. it's like, you know, you put up your Patreon post and then you send a quip about it. Yeah. It's just

what I'm saying, I guess, is I don't see the, I don't see people walking to it. I don't see people flocking to it. I don't like anybody cares as all. Nobody cares. Whatever. Some of it's cool. So keep it up, Jack. But yeah, we're going to put, we're going to put those up there. They're going up today. That's what's happening. Cool. So watch for that. We'll make sure you're

aware of it. James the Trucker had some thoughts and we'll share them right here. Hey there, fellas. This is James the trucker. A couple of days ago, Brian was talking about people coming out of the stalls in the bathroom with their toothbrushes. And he said they're sleeping in the stalls. I think he was kidding. I think he was kidding. But I just would remind everybody, Little America is a truck stop.

And half of those guys with toothbrushes have been driving all night or getting ready to. pull out in the morning and trucks do not come equipped with sinks. So we go in and take care of everything we need to and get back to work. Love the show. Bye. They ought to do that. Put a little sink in there, you know? They should in the, in the toilet area.

Yeah, no, I guess I was half kidding because those rooms were closed and they remained closed the entire time. I went and did what I had to do when he came back out. I think my joke was they fell asleep in there. Oh, I see. That makes more contextual sense now that you say it that way. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah.

We're going to be driving by the Little America again on Friday. Woo. Yeah, man. Little America. It's a good stop. It's a good stop. Right in the middle of nothing. Yep.

I like a nothing stop. Makes you realize civilization is not as far as you think. Dollar cones, too. Dollar big old ice cream cones. Still. Still have that. Jeez. I guess that's a lot in the 50s, but now that's cheap.

and no zero drinks in their fountain drinks. It's all like Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet Dr. Pepper, but no like Coke Zero or or. Lame. Get with the times or bottles or something. Get with the times, you slack our asses. Exactly. Guys, we're done with the show.

Frogpants.com slash TMS. You want to be like one of these messages that came in. We used a couple of methods to get that. The voicemail came to us at voicecast. Dot app slash TMS. And if you would rather text us, you can still use that as well. or email us at the morning stream at gmail.com.

More stuff coming up today. I think what will be our finale of the Resident Evil 9 play through, part 9, funny enough, will be today. How appropriate. Very appropriate. 1 p.m. Mountain, me and John,

come see us, come hang out. Should be a good time. And if you can't come to it live, we'll put it up on YouTube after, so don't worry about that. Brian, you got anything today that you want to mention? Nope, just a big old bike ride. tiny.cc slash bike coverville if you want to do any last minute donations to the MS-150

that ride has taken place on Saturday and looks like there's going to be a few friends that are going to be there watching me take off from the starting line and come back at the finish line so nice yeah we're going to go forward to it we're going to go up there on we'll get up there late Friday and then we're going to stay we got a points thing got a free hotel basically. Nice. Free hotel room. Yeah.

Listen, listen up. Dipschits. We got a free hotel room. Anyway, so that way I can be like. Burn tall. Burn tall. But it's only like point six. We're going to literally walk to the starting, I think.

Oh, really? From where the hotel is? That's, wow, that's great. Yeah, I think it's just like a La Quinta or La Quinta, whatever it is. La Quinta, which means Spanish for next to Shonis. That means. If it doesn't mean that, it sure should. It sure should.

I miss Shonies. They used to have their breakfast or what do you call it? Their brunch bar that they would do. No one had more or better bacon than Shonies. Really? Oh, I love some Shonis bacon. Probably took years off my life. Anyway, let's get to today's song.

What do you have? Yeah, this is going out to Ryan Nureda, Ryo Atemi, in the community. says, I have loved this cover album from Apocalypticas since it came out in 1998. Please play either Nothing Else Matters or fade to black for the start of my 47th trip around the sun. And I will see you both later this week in Salt Lake, if you do my request before Nurtacular, that is. Well, guess what, Ryan, I'm doing it after. But we still saw you in Nurtacular. And now you get to hear this request afterwards.

He's a good. He's a good dude. He's a good dude. This is your choice of fade to black. This is the live version by Apocalyptica from the album is called Apocalyptic. It plays Metallica by four cello's a live performance. It came out in 1996 and it's really, really good. I trimmed it down from its original seven minutes.

So you're welcome, Scott, although it's still like six minutes. So there you go. It's easy. Not a problem. Yeah. Here you go. Happy birthday, Ryan. This has been a frog pants production.
