Hey, everybody. Welcome to TMS. This is the morning stream for Monday, June 29th, 2026. I am Scott Johnson. That is Brian Ibit.
Good day. Hello, back. Back from Utah. My second trip to Utah this month.
Yep, June was a Utah month. It really was. It was Utah and Vermont for me. It was, I was talking with Hammond about this today. I think it came out pretty close to 50-50 nights I spent away from my
bed.
Nights I spent in my bed.
Yeah, I didn't even think about Vermont.
June was barely a month for Brian and Colorado.
Yeah, it was three days between Vermont and Salt Lake, the first of the Nurtacular
trip.
And then after that, it was about 10 days and then back out to, no, less than 10 days.
Oh, no, about, I'm sorry, more because it's like 13 days.
Yeah.
And then back out to Utah for another two days.
Just long enough to have some.
flooding.
That's right.
No, even though I did wake up in the middle of the night on Thursday night before the
Friday drive to Utah and I did go downstairs, there were no squishy surprises waiting
for me.
Oh, thank goodness, dude.
Yeah.
That's good news.
Yeah, exactly.
It was like, you know, client emailed me.
Let me see if I can take care of their issue before I go instead of saying, nope,
I'll have to wait until Monday, but I took care of it and they went back to sleep.
Nice. Well, I can tell you this. Kim and I went up to Logan to root Brian on and we hung out with KT Data and Rose Kitty and, of course, Tina and Barb.
Tina and Barb. We had a blast with Aunt Barb. I think she's funny as hell, dude.
She is a riot. She is absolutely hilarious and sometimes intentionally so and sometimes unintentionally so.
Yeah, the unintentional moments were my favorite ones, of course.
For sure. Just super fun to hang around with. So we did a lot of like Brian would be on a huge leg and we'd
say, all right, we're going to meet him at the stop thing.
Mm-hmm.
And it was so pathetic because at one point,
I was kind of dehydrated myself.
Uh-huh.
And I just hadn't been drinking that morning.
And the night before, I got really bad heartburn
from this Mexican food we had in Logan.
And the food was amazing, but that's part of the problem.
It was like super legit and authentic.
And I was not ready for that right before bed.
So all night, it was like, oh, my gosh, I'm going to die.
So I didn't drink a lot of water.
And the next day, I just started to feel it.
So I'm just like a little dizzy and woozy.
And I'm thinking, yeah, Brian's pumping his legs, his pistons out there, like a maniac.
And I'm over here going, eh, I'm going to be whatever.
So I went, got one of those little pickle packs.
But it was one of the, it was the warm ones.
The warm ones.
The warm ones are horrible.
Yeah.
No, it's so much better when they have them chilled.
So, yeah, let's give a big recap of the thing.
So got out there Friday afternoon or Friday.
evening with George Barb and Tina, four of us drove out there and got the bike dropped off at the
place because they were storing it overnight, which made it so much easier to not have to load it
up on the car the next morning and get it out there.
And that morning, Saturday morning, so Friday night, we're watching clouds rolling in,
and there's some wind. It's like, Logan, not looking super great on a Friday night.
Yeah.
And the morning we get up about 5.30, 6 o'clock.
We open the door to the Airbnb, and it's howling wind and rain coming down.
It is like, I'm saying, this is going to suck.
This is going to be the worst, you know, ride I've ever done.
And the plan was the 35-mile ride, right?
Like, we had the four different choices, the 35, the 47, the 60-something, no, 70-72,
and then quote unquote 100,
which we found out later was 99.1.
So the 100 people usually were doing laps in the parking lot
before they crossed the finish line.
So they could really say they did 100.
So I'm thinking,
I'm not even going to make the 35 miles with this crap weather.
Like it's cold.
I plan for the cold, right?
I've got the sleeves and I've got a windbreaker.
I've got legging things that I can pull up.
So I've got my bike shorts and my bit.
or what's my bib is my bike shorts my bike shorts in a jersey and um but that's short-sleeved and shorts
you know on the bib so i have these separate like sleeves you pull up your arms and pull up
your legs that um have a a rubberized insert on the ends so that they're not supposed to fall down
you can like put pull them up on your leg then pull your shorts down over it or pull it up on
your arm and then pull your shirt down over it and it'll it'll stay up because that kind of
rubbery grip on your on your arm sure and when you're standing there wearing that stuff you are
so glad you have it because it was still it was still cool like when the ride started the ride
started the sun came out the rain stopped the wind kind of stopped for the most part and
weather-wise we lucked out it was still cooler like i like to i like to write in 60-60
degrees or more. Between 66 and 76 is my sweet spot. That's like the perfect temperature for me.
Not too hot on the 76 end of the scale? No, it gets a little warm, but if I'm going to, you know,
I don't want to just say 66 to 67 is my sweet spot. So I'll give it a, I'll give it a 10 degree range.
You get into the 80s and that's when I start getting kind of miserable. But usually when you're
moving, even if it's 76 degrees, the cool air hitting you cools you off if it's sure, if it's
just in the 70s.
Makes sense.
But this was like 58,
57, somewhere around there
when we started.
It was chilly.
I almost forgot to bring a jacket.
I would have been cold
and I didn't even ride.
Yeah, Barb didn't pack warm clothes.
Like,
she was not prepared.
A couple other people didn't.
So,
but I'm in this, like,
really nice Columbia windbreaker,
which basically acts like a,
um,
a boiling bag vegetable steamer.
Yeah.
And it's keeping me
warm but boys it also trapping all of that sweat and moisture and and uh heat inside which is good
until it's time to like take it off and put it back on or you're going to take it off to take
the sleeves off and then you put it back on and it's like so cold because it's like
moist inside is this this is the jacket right here everybody there it is right there yep that was
stop number one that's right yep my kids asked what this thing was
I said it's a rear view mirror over his eye, right?
It is.
Yeah, it's a right.
Exactly.
Yep,
which comes in super,
super handy because you should see those,
those leggings are sliding down my legs.
This is my favorite part right there.
Yeah,
just decided to pull those off
and let some air get into my,
to my calves.
I think it's a cool look, actually.
Yeah, absolutely.
But yeah,
no,
the side view mirror,
because you're on streets that have cars,
and so you have to be aware
that there's going to be,
you know, if you're passing another cyclist,
you got to make sure that there's not a car coming.
And for the most part, Utah drivers,
like Colorado drivers, are very respectful to cyclists.
And they get over into like the next lane to avoid,
you know, being close to a cyclist.
Sure.
If there's room, they will cross over into the oncoming traffic lane,
pass everybody, and then get back over.
There were a couple people who were like barely scooted over
to where I could have slammed,
my hand against the side of their car and would have if I, you know, had the wherewithal to do it
because they were super close, way too close. You're supposed to, law is three feet. You're supposed
to give three feet. Yeah, and there was, these are not high traffic areas. So it should have been
easy for almost all of them, unless there was some specific situation to have plenty of room.
Like, we were almost always in the opposite lane because there's nothing oncoming. So we were
riding past riders, which is quite a bit, we were always way over on the side. It was not a problem.
but once in a while we'd see a driver like trying to hug the riders.
I'm like, what are you doing?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Just so irritating.
And honestly, if like, all right, if there's oncoming traffic, you just wait.
You slow down and you wait for the oncoming traffic to go by.
And then you can creep into the oncoming traffic lane a little bit so you can give the riders some room.
Yeah.
You're in Benson, Utah.
There are 750 of you.
You can till, you can take a little time.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Oh, so irritating.
Yeah.
So we were doing the ride.
We see everybody at the first rest stop.
We're like, all right.
Oh, so cool.
There's Scott and Kim and KT Data and Noel and Barb and Tina, you know, grabbing everybody, getting everybody together.
And the ride is sponsored by Harmon's, which we learned a few weeks ago, is a grocery chain or which I learned a few weeks ago as a grocery chain out there.
One of the guys, Bob Harmon, I guess is his name.
One of the brothers.
Yeah.
Yeah, he rode in the, in the.
ride. So he was actually out there doing the bike ride along with all of his
team, his employees doing their thing.
He's known here locally as pretty avid rider in general, but he's real big on like
charity rides and that's cool that stuff. So I think that's why they're so involved in it.
But yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. But because it was sponsored by a grocery store,
usually at the stops, there's like chopped up, you know, you get bananas that have been cut in
half. So you can eat half a banana or a Clementine, maybe a couple of pickles.
pops, refill your water, things
like that. But because this is sponsored
by a grocery store, it was like
huge long picnic tables
full of Oreo packs
and nutter butter packs
and Swedish fish for some reason. I feel like that
that's the wrong thing to eat.
100% the wrong thing to eat. All these
people have freaking crowns
and fillings and that stuff
just sucks that shit out of your face.
Exactly. Oh my God. And it's like
you know, trying to, trying to breathe.
and chew on a Swedish fish at the same time.
Oh, his wife.
I didn't know Bob Harmon's wife had MS.
That's that I also explained twice.
Yeah.
So into it.
Okay.
It makes sense for sure.
But then also lots of bottled water,
lots of,
lots of other kind of snacks,
lots of granola bars,
things like that.
So it was really,
really good spreads at all of the,
at all the waste stations.
You made the right choice
with that nutter butter on that first stop.
Yeah.
Peanut butter is a,
you know,
peanut butter is a great protein.
thing.
Those those are just great.
I freaking love those.
They are.
They're one of my favorite cookies.
I think, you know, don't let the fine folks at Oreo hear this, but I kind of prefer the
nutter butters.
I'm a big number of.
Of all of the like mass produced Nabisco style whatever business.
Yeah.
Pretty damn good.
Pretty damn good.
And you know what?
Nutter butter has never felt the need to say, to come out with any variations.
I don't ever remember seeing like a, here's strawberry nutter butter.
or BTS-flavored nutter butter.
They're all nutters and their butters and that's it.
Exactly, and that's it.
Yep, I appreciate that about them.
So we see everybody that one, you know, the photo Scott had.
We leave that rest stop.
And as we're coming to this intersection,
we see all the arrows pointing to the right.
And then another set of arrows, the same three colors.
So there are three color, or there are four colors for the ride,
yellow for the 35 mile ride
green for the 47
purple and blue
I think for the two
the hundred and the 70 something
so George and I follow everybody else
and we start going to the right and as we're coming to the right
we see
oh I didn't forget to mention that first
big hill and I was going to show the
the graph that
had like that
that hill
yeah here's a thing
it's a nice reminder to
remember that visualizations are often
they scale up if you're not looking in the full picture.
Oh my gosh, that freaked me out.
I couldn't believe you did that hill.
That was crazy.
It's an insane hill.
Let me see if I can find it really quick.
It's also not,
it kind of creeps up on you, right?
It's not like a sudden hill.
It's like a...
Yeah, you come around a corner and let's see.
Oh, it's ride with GPS is the...
Ride with GPS.
Utah, ride with GPS.
Okay, here we go.
Yeah.
All right, so I'm going to give this to Scott.
You can put this lower part on the screen.
Okay.
do do do let me find the TMS there it is and paste okay all right so clicking it at the bottom of that map side
here we go yeah and that's the 35 mile route so on the bottom there you've got that red
graph yep and um you can see there's like you know you leave the place there's a little uphill then
there's a nice lot of downhill and then it comes to this other hill which kind of goes straight up
And then another little straight up bit it kind of tops it off and goes it goes even further.
Now over on the left side.
So remember remember that hill, right?
Keep your eye on that.
Yep.
Yeah.
Now click on the 47 mile.
A box, checkbox.
Okay.
There it is.
That's the 47.
Okay.
Now, when you're looking at that 47 thing, that first little blip.
of the um oh did jen yeah yeah yeah that first little blip that you see down there before that big hill
that first little blip is was that 35 mile big hill so this bit you saw here whoops here
nope that's the 73 that one sorry uh 35 there you go there is 35 there it is yep that blip you see there
right is that little blip that little thing before that other big hill
I love that so much.
And because George and I turned right and followed the crowd,
all of a sudden we're on the 47 mile ride.
And I realized it about a mile in when I'm like, wait a minute,
from the 35, we were supposed to go just straight west from that rest stop.
Yeah.
So I told Georgia said, I think we're on the 47.
He's like, oh, geez, okay, do you want to turn around?
And I'm like, we're still peddling, still going up that hill, by the way.
and said, do we want to turn around?
Do we want to turn around?
I said, I asked George, because he had a wreck a week ago.
He crashed on his bike and he was covered with scars and stuff from that.
Yeah, at the finish line, his knees were all banged up.
Yeah, that's from the crash last week.
Dang.
So, uh, it's a great face.
I love it.
So we're about a mile into the 47.
He's like, well, we can turn around.
Do you want to turn around?
I'm like, yeah.
Well, how do you feel bad?
Do you want to do the 47?
He's like, I could do it.
I'm like, all right, I could do it too.
Let's do the 47.
So we decide last minute to upgrade from the 35 to do the 47,
which I was not planning on.
No.
I mean, when I hit 24 miles in this ride,
I had already gone longer than any training ride I had done this year.
23 miles was that ride I took in Vermont,
where I nearly passed out because I forgot to eat.
And it was only 23 miles because I had three miles of riding around Burlington
trying to find the bike rental place to return the bike.
And you're just running on a single nutter better at this point.
Running on a single, whatever I was in Vermont.
But yeah, so at this point, at least I've had breakfast.
I've been hydrating, been drinking a lot of water.
I had scratch.
Big thanks to musical chemist.
in our tadpole.
She sent out a bunch of scratch powder for the ride.
And then I did have a pack of nutter butters and a couple pickle juices when I left that stop.
So we're like, all right, let's do the 47.
So we go up, we do that massive hill.
And it's just a beautiful view once we're at the top of that.
Like the, you got mountains behind us because, you know, it's in the valley.
Mountains behind us.
And then this beautiful mountain view that we're looking at ahead of us.
And then this steep drop that you could also see on that same.
on that same red elevation map and it's just this great nice downhill then there's like you know for the rest of
right we're thinking cool rolling hills no problem no if you look at that 47 again yeah do you want to
pull it back up yeah there it is right there yeah you've got that big hill that nice drop at about
mile 20 yeah and then you go four more miles and then you go four more miles and then you
then there's that thing that looks like just a sad little hill right it just doesn't look like
right here nope nope keep going the left uh about about 25 right before that second stop that's the
guy right there and it doesn't look like much especially compared to that big hill we just went up right
no that hill is like it is a steady uphill it is a one mile let's see what does it go from it goes
from elevation 45, 46 to 4850, no, 4650.
So in half a mile, you're doing a about 200 feet of elevation gain.
Jeez.
And that is the thing that almost killed me.
To the point where I'm like, I'm going up the hill, it's rounding a corner.
I'm seeing cars kind of disappear.
So I'm like, cool.
We get to the top of this curve and it's nice downhill.
That's the crest of it.
beautiful we come around the corner and it's like oh no that's not the crest it continues up more
crest more more hill and i'm like lowest gear this old lady that i passed uh who had the bib 17 a
uh you know elderly lady probably in her 70s yes are just keeping on a nice little even paste you
do do do do do by i zip by her on that you know on that straight away
and then I get up to like two thirds of the way, three quarters of the way up this hill,
and I am just gassed.
I like, dude, I've got to stop and catch my breath.
The walls are starting to get gray around my view.
The sweat is dripping into my eyes.
I can't get comfortable.
I'm like, George, you can keep going.
Get to the top of the hill.
It's fine.
And I will meet you up there.
So I stop.
He's like, nope, I'm stopping with you.
Take your time.
Catch your breath.
Do whatever you need.
need to do.
Just, you know, we're not in a race.
It's not, there's no hurry.
Just, just catch your breath.
So, like, I step off the bike.
I put my, my arms on my handlebars, like, kind of cross them.
And then I just put my head down.
And I'm like, try to take deep breaths and trying to catch my breath.
And then the little old lady goes right by.
Zip right past there.
Just on her little, whatever lowest gear she's in.
Do do, do, do, do.
do do I didn't see if she was on an e-bike
but I don't care whatever she zipped past me
however she did it. Yeah I think she was
I think she was just raw
I was raw dog in it she was on a
I think she was just on a regular bike
because I think which made it all the funnier
when she at the end we're at the table
at the place where everyone's done
and they're eating and this guy's playing music and
she comes in and just like gives Brian
the biggest thumbs up good ride today
and it was super legit and genuine
she was it wasn't like a
meaner you know it was like
a good job and
And yeah. That's great.
So yeah, I got back on the bike after that and made it the rest of the way.
Fortunately, it wasn't enough of a hill that I had a hard time starting the pedaling again.
Usually if it's like a really, really sharp hill, you feel like you're, if you step off of it, you're done because you're never going to get the momentum back to start pedaling again.
You're better off just walking to the top and then coming down.
Sure.
But once we got past that, oddly enough, took us right back to the very same.
same rest stop that we had met you guys at before.
And then it was a nice like, geez, how many miles?
That was a 20 mile, 26, and then we didn't see you until mile 40.
So another 15, 14, 15 miles of just straight away, straight south with a headwind down to
whatever elementary school we met you guys at for the second or the third,
stop.
Oh, yeah.
You looked pretty
I was,
El poopedo on that one.
I was,
I was wrecked at that point.
It helped that you guys were all out there like cheering and...
We had cowbells.
Yeah,
and pom-poms.
That was great.
I think Barb brought all that stuff,
but...
She did.
We happily borrowed it.
Yeah,
she wore two-two.
She looked like one of the fragile rock puppets.
In that thing.
Yes,
exactly.
Yeah.
But then you just had like a nice little seven-mile
straight away east again with with a crosswind instead of a headwind i don't know which is worse and then
uh crossing the finish line and uh you know having you guys there having uh kevin and noel of course
tina and barb that's what makes it so much easier because you want to you know that all those
people are waiting for you at the finish line and you don't want to disappoint them and you don't want to
uh you don't want to make them wait longer yeah they've already been waiting but she had that kid there at the
that was attached to a power tool.
Jeez, Louise, that thing was obnoxious.
It scared me.
I heard it the first time I went,
ah, what are we doing here?
Yeah.
And his kid was just running around and going,
hurt, hurt, and I'm like, all right.
Where's his dad?
That was, dumb.
That was absolutely obnoxious.
But no, we made it.
And it's funny because the whole time
leading up to this on TMS,
I've been saying, yeah, I'm doing the 35.
No problem.
I'm doing the 35.
I'm fine with that.
I'm okay with that.
And then we ended up doing the 47.
And I'm glad we did.
If you didn't ask me at Mile 25, I would say I'm glad we did the 47.
Sure.
Well, that's great.
Yeah.
There's more to say.
We'll talk more in future episodes and all that.
But I'm glad that it all worked out.
Brian did great.
The place was beautiful.
I feel a little bad for some of your team who did the long, long one because I got hit with a hail storm.
I got all bunged up in that.
They got stuck.
They like kept them at one of the lunch stops for an hour.
And that's what sucks about that.
You know, you've got this rain pouring down and hail and telling people to shelter inside.
When you're stuck in a place for an hour on a ride like this, it almost feels like you're starting from scratch when you finally go.
Like you've lost all of your energy and your power that you've been building up.
It's almost like you, you know, you went and had lunch somewhere, laid down for a little bit and then tried to start cycling again.
Yeah, that's a lot.
Yeah.
But I'm glad they got back.
when you know yeah yeah they did by then they took the finish line down because the wind was blowing it
so hard yeah it's such a bummer but yeah so we were all out there churned when they came back through
the um and one of the guys you never really got to see him without his helmet but he looks just like
matthew perry yeah i kept i kept trying to catch him without his helmet i never did see it never did
i'll find a photo um but uh what was i going to say oh if so donations are still up through the end of
i think the end of july and so i've moved i've moved the tiny dot cc back by the
the way, thank you for all your donations
if you've donated. I see MKT Data
and Noel
donated even yesterday as we were driving back,
which was super nice of them. I've moved it back
to my team page for the Colorado ride.
Just to build
more money for the team
so that we get bigger perks next year. We're going to
time things. Well, there's not going to be an artacular
probably next year. So
don't have to worry about a conflict of timing
for that one. So we'll be back in Colorado for that ride.
They already locked in the dates,
they told you? No. No.
Usually, usually we find out really early and like, you know, like it was this last time.
Didn't find out until December or whenever it was.
It was like the week after you guys signed the contract for Nurtacular.
It was so, the timing of that was insane.
It was insane.
And it was never, it's always been the last weekend of June until this year.
Yeah.
The same year that we do Nurtacular.
But anyway, so if you haven't donated, but you do still want to donate, tiny.
dot cc slash bike coverville and um you guys are you guys are awesome yeah so that was great it was super fun to go
too i enjoyed my friday night saturday excursion you finally get to see me on a bike like all this you know
you hear about it you've seen video of me falling over on a bike but you've actually never seen me ride one
yeah it was good to see that i got to see it live we got a bunch of footage i'm gonna have a little
short going up today of uh brian starting riding and then finishing his race not race ride
and what else?
Also, we stayed at a Lakinta.
There was no shownies.
That's such a bummer.
It's a shame.
It was kind of a dump, but I still enjoyed myself there.
I like a bad hotel sometimes.
Once in a while.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
There's something about, as long as it's decently clean, I just mean old.
If you don't feel unsafe.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, it's in a decent place.
It's clean.
It's just old.
And that's fine.
You're like, ah, this is a little,
the air conditioner's a little loud.
And that's okay.
they got a fridge that makes a weird home
and the TV doesn't have great channels
but you know what we're having a good time it's fine
no breakfast buffet but that's alright
we can and we basically
it was basically free so I wasn't gonna complain
oh right it was with points or something
some deal Kim had going on what it was
perfect good quick note
speaking of Nurtacular the Nurtacular T's that sold
out very quickly on site as well as
pre-orders the red and white keys
Oh these are the red ones yeah Barb wanted one of these so good
they are available now
a lot of people on site were like oh shoot

Can I just say one final thing about Tina's eye surgery?
Oh.
She breezed through that.
She did so good.
She totally did.
I don't know why mine was.
Mine hurt like a mother and itched like crazy.
It didn't take long.
It's like three days, four days of healing.
But still, she was like, bam, bam, boom, she's out.
So congratulations the Tina's right eye or left eye, whichever eye it was.
Oh, is she left eye?
Iron one.
Nice.
Left eye or right eye because she still has to have one of the eyes done.
Yeah.
Well, only one's a in a band.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think of which one she has done.
Because the only time I know is when she has her little eye shield on that she sleeps in,
which looks like a little waffly iron, wiffle ball.
You guys, I would hate to try to be terrible if I broke into your house and trying to rob me.
And like, oh, look, Darth Vader's on his breathing machine.
Oh, my God.
Who is that?
Is that a pirate?
Yeah, Vader and a pirate in bed.
Scary.
Well, anyway, it is a time.
Welcome to get old, people.
Welcome to get an old.
It's time to play a game.
Brian's going to describe the game and who and what and how it works.
Go ahead, Brian.
Yes.
Welcome to Do Frogs Have Brains, a countdown-style trivia game that might get another name at some point.
Who knows?
I've got a bunch of questions across various subjects, including science, art, entertainment, history, and more.
Scott and Brian will each get 45 seconds to answer as many of these questions as they can.
While Scott's answering his questions will place Brian into a soundproof isolation booth.
Hello?
To skip to the next question, you can say pass.
the player with the most correct answers after 45 seconds wins the prize for their contestant
and contestants have been pulled from our Patreon supporters at patreon.com slash TMS.
Scott, you're playing for Chad Janish.
Yeah, Chad, let's go, buddy.
And Brian, you're playing for Joyce Steinmiller.
Oh, Steinmiller.
She had those awesome wristbands, those awesome bracelets.
Charm-charm bracelets at Nurtak.
I owe her a story about what happened to one of those bracelets.
Oh, no.
I haven't told them on the show.
It was very funny, but I'll tell it later.
It doesn't.
It doesn't.
No, it doesn't.
We're safe there.
All right.
So, Brian, let's put you into a soundproof isolation booth.
You can look at the timer and you'll see when Scott's done with his questions.
So just come in when Scott.
Hold on a second.
Last time I just muted the tab.
All right, is that what we're doing again this week?
You're mute.
Well, no, you're muted us.
You need to mute us.
You can't hear these questions.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's what I mute.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

First question, as soon as the timer begins.
So, ready, set go.

You should do it like they do on feud where they can finish the last question they're on.
Oh, and then...
I should.
And then we just make sure Brian doesn't come in immediately
so he doesn't hear the end of that one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You scared him, but Jesus said to me again.
Oh, are you back?
Can we get, yeah, can we get something?
Yeah, no, that's just for the future, but yeah, right, right, right.
I think it's a good idea.
I want to finish that.
I would have liked to have finished that question.
Oh.
So, Brian, you know, maybe, um, give it five seconds, 10 seconds after that.
Yeah, all right.
Okay.
That'll be next time.
Next time.
Scott got three rights.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I know.
I heard it this time. Did you get that at it? Because like,
ding. Yeah, that was added. That whistle probably really scared you too.
It scared them, but Jesus out of me. Every bit of it. Because it's so quiet. I don't hear nothing. Could you like add some music in there?
Like along the way so it's not like so jarring.
We'll see what we can do for you.
We'll see what we can do. Yes, exactly.
All right, Brian, if you're ready.
Maybe some jelly beans in my green room. I'm sorry, go ahead.
Sure. You're going to get the same question. Scott was asked and we're going to start the timer.
And I'm going to begin asking when the timer starts in.
in three, two, one.

grows milk teeth followed by adult teeth?

The way...
...stead up and yawned.
It was the seventh inning stretch.
Oh, is that?

That's how the seventh inning stretch began.
The animal that grows milk teeth followed by adult teeth is a horse.

I did not get that one, no.
No.
But I got Calvin Coolidge, though.
I feel good.
Scott got Calvin Coolidge, and he also got three points to Brian's two.
We will extend this to 60 seconds next week.
I think 60 seconds might be better because you guys only got through one, two, three, four, five, six, seven questions.
We had a few things going on.
This is going to be an eight-minute game eventually.
These guys are so freaking slow.
We had a lot going on this week.
So getting with Al-Kabobb to change the timer and deal with all the vivid.
Like, that wasn't going to happen.
That's the last week.
Yeah, exactly.
Plus, I mean, it takes me time to read these questions.
So, you know, so we got a little bit of time there.
But congratulations to Scott, winning three to two.
And that means you're playing for Chad Jenish.
Congratulations.
Well done, man.
Yeah.
He's going to get some prizes.
He's going to get a copy of Hacknet and S-E-U-M speedrunners from hell,
courtesy of Sunbun.
I know those.
But Joy, you're going to get the Lord of the Rings adventure card games,
which is a fun little card game.
the Steam game, which is really cool.
The only loser here is Brian Dunaway.
Ding, ding, dang.
Thanks, man.
Just kidding.
You're not a loser.
You're a winner.
And let me tell you something about winners.
They come back on Wednesday and do this again with Tad Pooley Feud.
And we record play retro and watch retro that night.
So stick around this week.
We got fun stuff lined up.
Very excited.
Yeah, Devil May Cry, baby.
Yeah.
I think will officially be our second PS2 game.
I believe so.
25 years old this year.
Look at you, Devil May Cry.
How old is a resident evil game originally?
What?
Yeah.
I know.
It's insane how that all went.
We're going to talk all about it.
So be here Wednesday.
We'll remind you again.
Brian Dunaway, you have one thing left to do.
That is kiss our butts.
No.
Bye.
All right.
I don't see Nicole, but she may not have the link.
So let's see if I can help her along.
Yeah.
I figured with the lateness, we'd have got her here by now, but I would think so.
Your link, ma'am.
see if she responds.
But I'll tell you what,
because waiting is half the battle.
I'm going to tell you a funny news story.
Check this out.
Please do, sorry, it's taking a drink of tea there.
All good.
The Oklahoma Arby's employee in the news
accused of giving herpes to a customer.
Hadn't heard this one before.
May never hear this sort of thing again.
Oh, all right.
But many have...
Do you like that supersized?
Yeah.
You want curly fries with that?
I don't know.
Many have heard claims of retaliatory restaurant workers spitting in customers' food
and hope it's just gross, just a gross urban legend.
I happen to know it's not just an urban legend.
I witnessed it once in the back of a chee-chees.
But anyway...
You want to hope...
People want to hope it's an urban legend.
Yeah, I wish.
But in McCurtain County, Oklahoma,
a former Arby's manager is charged with felony poisoning,
according to the charge.
They are accused of spitting in a woman's food and as a result, giving them herpes.
I did not realize you could get herpes from spit.
I think it's if it's the simplex one or the type one.
Yeah.
The cold sore type one.
Yeah.
I think that is how you can spread it.
Actually, this is a Dr. Tolbert question.
If he's out there, can I get, you know what, that'll be today's, I'll send him a video
and ask him.
Can I get herpes from spit?
We'll gross out the internet.
Yeah.
Lydia and Kat and Kippur both say fluids, like body fluids.
Grody.
Grody.
I love Arby's.
Not anymore, says
Genica Church.
It's a weird way of putting that.
After a long night of bartending,
Church stopped at an Arby's
and Broken Bow,
Oklahoma.
It was taking a little bit of time,
she recalled.
I thought they were mad at me
just because it was about to close.
They probably were.
And that's usually
when an employee will do something stupid.
Yeah,
still does not warrant
spitting in somebody's food.
Yeah, I don't care who you are.
there wasn't even a time in my life where I would have gone oh this is appropriate no no not even in my teens would I have done that exactly no I blame bad parenting it's interesting that they know you know exactly who did it right like you know yeah did they have to check who had herpes maybe yeah probably right yeah I mean who knows but yeah next time you're in an Arby's I don't really go there anymore because they've made everything so colossally expensive for what you get
They did.
Yeah.
Even like the, even like just your standard roast beef sandwich is, what, like five bucks now, six bucks?
Yeah.
Or more.
They used to do five of those for five dollars.
Right.
Right.
And they're still just as bad as they were then, except you were only paying a dollar.
And so you were cool with it.
It's terrible.
Arby's change your ways.
Absolutely.
All right.
I have it on a good authority that Nicole is here.
We're going to do this now.
Well, what do you recommend?
Well, well, well, if it isn't Nicole Spagnolo.
Hi, Nicole.
Hi.
Hi. How are you?
Can you hear me? Yeah.
Yes, we can hear you just fine.
Hi.
We had to pull over.
Mateo got carsick.
Oh, no.
I hope he's all right.
You okay, buddy?
Yes.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay, good.
Good.
My wife gets carsick.
I can relate.
Yeah.
Well, don't worry about it because either way you're here and that's what's important.
We're going to do recommendals, everybody.
We haven't done one in a bit or it feels like a long time because I literally had a
Nurtacular.
Yeah, exactly.
And that has a way of, like, distorting time.
So it feels like it's been, like, years, but it hasn't really that been long.
It's so much fun.
Yeah, it was a great time.
I was so glad you guys could come by and be there and hang out.
And I love seeing your kids.
Totally.
Look like they had a good time.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
That was awesome.
Love seeing your husband occasionally.
Just kidding.
I like to see him.
I know.
It's always good to see Mark, and I feel like I never get any time to talk to him.
But it was still awesome to say.
He's great though.
He just kind of floats around.
People yelling Mark at him the whole time.
He said thanks for that, by the way.
Oh, good.
Good, good, good.
Well, let's get started.
Brian, you are the leader of the pack with your clip.
What do you want to say about it before I play?
Sure.
This is, I don't often recommend a reality show,
but this is one that I think was on everybody's list as far as like the best most heartwarming reality show they ever saw.
So that is the setup for this.
All right, here we go.
Hot sauce is like having a moment.
You don't see this kind of thing happening with ketchup.
It's like, name me like a YouTube ketchup show.
What's the name of that YouTube ketchup show everyone watches?
There is, no, because it doesn't exist.
Hot sauce is time.
It's our time.
Hot sauce is time.
Yeah.
I'm Kevin Gomez.
I run HR here at Rock and Grandma's Hot Sauce.
I consider myself kind of a big brother that you can come and share your secrets with.
I guess I can give you a nuggie too,
but, you know, mostly a sympathetic year.
Thank you so much for jumping on this.
Yeah, absolutely. Thank you for having.
The retreat is a huge deal for us every year.
It's kind of like my Super Bowl for the year, you know, getting everything ready,
and you're going to be my right-hand man.
This year is especially exciting because our founder and CEO, Doug, is retiring.
Can't have a quick question?
Sure, Jimmy.
If one of us got, like, one of those, like, joke chain emails or something like that,
kind of, like, forwarded around the office or something?
Is it sexual in nature?
Oh, yeah.
Very much so.
I wouldn't do that.
No?
No.
No.
Okay.
Better save this, sorry, right?
I guess I'll forward it.
What if I forward it?
Fair enough.
You know, old Jimmy, but I've already sent it.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you.
All right.
That is the setup for jury duty season two company retreat,
which follows the same format as jury duty season one,
where you've got a ton of actors and one person who's not in on it.
And they try and get examples of how good a dude this person is by making them,
putting them into situations where they could either like shrug their shoulders or help,
you know, or be the good person.
And that's what made season one so good is that they found this guy who was just a
genuinely good good dude and put him all these situations like where he had to cover for james
marsden leaving a huge poop in the in the hotel room he took the blame for that um do they do they
successfully pull that off again with the unsuspecting person this time they successfully pull it off
again and it's almost like the first one so season one was like ooh can we do this can we can we can
do a whole season of this where we fool somebody into doing this season two feels like they said all right
we've established we can let's see how far we can take it and it this feels like you're watching a
an offshoot of the office the tv show the office and it sounded like yeah it is it you know everybody's
this really quirky weird person but they're so quirky and they're these actors are so good
that it it makes it believable like it's um that like you're so weird
they can't be made up kind of thing.
Sure.
And there are, you know, so many times that,
that the guy, you know, the guy who's not in on it is like,
God, this is so weird, you can't write stuff like this.
And it turns out you can because this, you know,
it's funny because Luke Sidewalker says,
half these reality shows are semi-scripted like the hills.
This is scripted.
I'll tell you right now that all of the,
actors have a destination for that
that thing that they need to get Anthony who's not in on it to do
Anthony Norman is your is your hero
and they've rehearsed and scripted and practiced
the way they're going to get him there and it's amazing
when you look at the the final episode where it shows what all the
actors went through to to get this going
it's absolutely amazing it's how they do it's how they do
curb kind of they have
Very much so.
Yeah.
They have an end game.
They have to get to a point.
And how they get there is fluid.
But they still have a story point or a plot.
They have to get to.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah.
So you called them the hero.
Yes.
They call them the hero too.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
In production, like when they're describing,
um,
uh,
they're saying,
okay,
well,
we need to get blocking rights.
So when you,
when you talk to them,
have them try,
have,
try and,
have,
hero to face this way like the whole time they're talking about him as the hero and more so than in jury
duty season one um this guy has to be the hero there's a um there is a moment where he has to do something
that doesn't benefit him in any way and the only reason he does it is because he cares about all
these people and he wouldn't do it otherwise and that's him right in the very center of
of that group shot that you see right there.
Yeah, yeah, Anthony.
Okay.
And it's always reviews so well.
I have not seen the first season.
Oh, you haven't.
And the reason I haven't seen it is because I, like some in the chat are expressing.
I hate pranks.
I hate them.
This is not a prank.
This is not punked.
This is not like there is no point at which there's glee taken from humiliating somebody.
if that makes sense.
It does.
And the way you've described it
always made me go,
oh, it seems like I'd be all right.
But then I just have never pulled the trigger.
This is the most heartwarming.
Like you will actually,
and people will back this up,
this is the most heartwarming reality show you will ever see.
You know,
you'll,
I can't say enough to say how different this is than any other,
any other thing.
He comes out,
you know,
when there is the final reveal.
to him.
At no point is he like, oh, my God.
How embarrassing or anything like that.
He's like, oh, my, I think of you guys as family.
Yeah.
So stuff like that makes me want to give a shot.
You need to watch, but you also do need to watch the first one because, yes, the hero does take the blame for a huge poop that James Marsden left in a hotel room.
Which is amazing.
Absolutely amazing.
James Marsden now is a producer of the show.
Oh, really?
he comes back just to do like a
a recap thing with the
with the group
he comes back to leave a quick poop
and then leave again
exactly
but anyway
so yeah not not even
remotely a prank so if it's
if it's a prankster train avoid
don't worry about it you'll watch this and be like
all right I get this now this is awesome
all right I'm uh prime is where this is
prime both seasons are on prime
and the reason it's called jury duty
company retreat is just because
the first season was jury duty and took place in jury duty this one is a is has nothing to do with jury
duty at jury duty i like the idea i like the conceit though of a of a corporate retreat we'll just
keep it the same name and the corporate retreat the whole thing takes place at this this outdoor retreat
in agura hills california and just that setting allows for some hilarious um situations to put this
guy in is the hot sauce company real is it made up nope totally made up okay and what is it rocking
Rockin' grandma's hot sauce.
And there is a visual gag that comes up about halfway through the season that is that will seriously, you'll have to pause because you'll be laughing so hard.
Tears will be coming out of your eyes and you won't want to miss it.
All right.
I do, I want to say I need to research if there are any ketchup podcast now.
I know.
I kind of want to know.
I mean, he's trying to talk about like there's no hot ones equivalent for ketchup, but there should be, right?
Like somebody, you taste a bunch of different ketchupes, you know.
But I'm just going to search ketchup.
What do I get?
I get food channels that once in a while we'll talk about ketchup, but it's not the dedicated topic like hot sauces are.
Mateo, there's your podcast idea.
He loves ketchup.
Ooh.
Yeah, you should make a pet.
You know what?
Make a ketchup show and have ketchup chips.
Oh, man.
I love ketchup chips.
Oh, I love ketchup chips.
Yeah.
The Canadians are smarter than us.
They have them everywhere.
All right.
There you go. So, company retreat.
Nice. Check it out.
Nicole, let's swing it over to you.
You got a clip here from an oldie bit of goodie.
What do you want me to ruin it on here?
We were stuck in hotel rooms together, the four of us, for almost three weeks.
And Mark brought along the Apple TV.
And it occurred to me that Mateo hasn't seen a lot of Adam Sandler movies.
And so we had a little bit of a journey.
to the movies that Adam
Sam has produced over the years.
I tried to show him
Happy Gilmore a while back. He wasn't really
that into it.
So we watched Big Daddy,
which he found very funny.
And then
it rolled into this one that I'm going to recommend.
It is obvious if you
know this movie very quickly.
I will say Mark and I danced our first dance when we got married to a song that was in this movie.
Oh, nice.
It's one of my favorite.
I still quote this movie today.
No, I'm not supposed to say the name.
He's doing shit out of luck.com early.
He really is.
Yeah, exactly.
Shit out of luck.
Yeah.
So there you go.
All right.
Let's play it.
Oh, yeah, well, they taste so good.
It's like I'm ripping you off, Rosie.
I don't have any clean tougher wear.
All right, well, definitely next time, okay?
Well, don't be silly.
Now, hold out your hands.
You want to, uh...
Okay.
Oh, cool.
Thanks a lot.
Now, please take a bite so that I can watch you enjoy.
That's my favorite part.
Oh, okay.
Well, I'll go with the right one.
It looks good.
That's a good meatball.
Yeah, good meatball, baby.
Every time we have meatballs, that's a good meatball.
It's a good meatball.
That's a good meatball.
I want to watch you enjoy.
Like, all these little...
So if you're not familiar, this is the wedding singer.
It's one of my favorite.
It holds up.
It stars Drew Baramore, Adam Sandler.
I saw this in the theater.
I didn't know it took place in the 80s.
So when we went into it, because it's a period,
it's funny, it's a period piece.
It's a period movie.
So everything is in the 80s.
And so when I first watched, I'm like,
what's going on with everybody's hair?
Sure.
Why the skinny ties?
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
But at the time is only like what?
We're like 12 years out of the 80s.
It's so weird.
Yeah, something like that.
It also has Alexis Arquette as George.
And she sings the best.
Do you really want to love?
Culture Club.
It's so wonderful.
Just all the characters.
I love it.
And of course, the last song, I want to grow old with you as the song that Mark and
dance too for our first song.
That's sweet. Of course, you have Billy Idol in there, you know,
given a little intro to the song.
That's what he does.
But it's so, I love the movie so much.
And Mark and I were watching it.
I was like, oh, you're holding hands.
But yeah.
Where's it?
And you get Bishemi and Lovitz, too.
Like you get some, you know, little cameos of smigel, Kevin Neillan.
as the cases for all of those.
Yeah, I mean, it's always a thing that, what's his case,
that Adam Sandler does?
Although, does Rob Schneider make an appearance in this one?
This might be one of the ones where you don't.
Because he wasn't Big Daddy.
He's almost all of them.
Waterboy and all that stuff.
But I don't think, I don't think Schneider appears in this one.
I mean, I know, Adam, I don't think so either.
It's a shame.
It's funny because I find that when people don't like Adam Sandler, they really don't like him.
Sure.
I personally love him.
I think his range over the years, he's been in some of my favorite stupid, funny movies and some of my favorite dramas.
Like, I love Spanglish.
That was such a good movie.
I agree with this.
I don't know why there's hate.
Some of his movies are just plain bad.
Like I think Little Nicky or whatever,
Pixels also terrible.
Like they're terrible movies, but Adam Sandler's not the problem.
Switch. Remember Switch?
Oh, Switch is awful.
Oh, God.
Didn't they somehow, they got somebody big in that, like Al Pacino or somebody?
It was, uh, no, it was, um, Walkton.
Oh, Christopher Walkin.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
How did you even manage that?
But then, then he turns around and does like uncut gems or, um,
Jay Kelly.
Jay Kelly, which is excellent.
Yeah, a really good movie.
Even the cobbler.
Did you watch the cobbler?
I never saw the cobbler.
That was a recommendal I did a long, long time ago, where he's the shoe, he walks in somebody's shoes.
It was a recent dish.
It is click, gaming savant.
You're right.
Not switch, click.
Oh, click, right.
It's kind of homicolism at some point.
Yeah, you got to do it.
The cobbler came out.
Oh, it's 2014.
I thought it was more recent than that.
But yeah, that's actually regarded it.
Okay.
People like that one.
Yeah.
Yeah, didn't know that one at all.
got Bouchemmy in there.
That's on Netflix, too.
It was when he did that deal with Netflix where he was making like a movie a year.
Yeah.
And I was like, where is he going to?
What movies is he going to do?
And he just did a whole bunch of different ones.
Yeah.
And I never saw, I never saw the do-over or Ridiculous Six, which I think were ones that
came out of that deal, right?
Yes.
They didn't watch Ridiculous Sex.
Ridicose is supposed to be very, very bad.
But I haven't seen it.
And the other one, or the recent Happy Gilmore revival, I think was okay, but people said it was okay.
I didn't see it.
But, yeah, he's fine.
We started to watch Happy Gilmore after the wedding singer, and it got late, so we turned it off.
There you go.
That'll happen.
Well, there you go.
Where's this?
He always laughed when they said balls.
I think it's, um, is it.
Yeah, where's Netflix?
Is it?
It's not Netflix.
I think it's maybe HBO.
Okay.
Okay.
Maybe HBO, everybody.
It's one of them.
Hulu or HBO.
I can't remember.
They move them around so much.
Peacock.
It looks like peacock.
Oh,
it's a peacock.
Nailed it.
Peacock and looks like maybe Amazon Prime
potentially.
Okay.
A couple of choices there.
But, you know, six months from now,
it'll be somewhere else.
I'm currently,
I'm currently getting peacock for a dollar 99 a month.
So I'll happily watch it there.
Yeah, there you go.
Very nice.
Swinging it over to me,
I'm going to cheat a little bit.
This is a move.
movie that is not technically streaming on a service that you've already paid for, you have to
rent it, which is what I did.
But I'm glad I did, so here it is.
Fadoh, Fadot, long, long ago, deep in the woods, there was a small stone hut.
And inside the stone hut, there lived an Al-Kalyuk, a witch.
Praying upon the lost, the evil old crone would first put the doomed travelers under her
leaving them as gazzled and vulnerable as lamplet game.
All right.
That may sound more intense than the movie actually is,
but I saw Hocum.
Oh, cool.
Yeah, Hocom is real good.
Hocom is this movie directed by this Damian McCarthy,
who I didn't know.
But it stars Adam Scott
and a whole bunch of Irish actors
that you may or may not know from various, like, BBC things
and, you know, shows from overseas.
They're all very good, though.
But Adam Scott is this American author.
He goes to Ireland because he's kind of having like brain fart and he's a best-selling author and he's trying to get his groove back.
So he goes to this place that his parents wants honeymoon and also wanted to leave his mom's ashes there.
And there's a whole sub-story about that.
But basically, it turns out part of this hotel, this is much I'll give without spoiling anything, but it is haunted by a witch.
And it is a legit horror movie.
but it has moments that are really funny.
And I've got this theory.
Adam Scott never plays really anybody too different than what he always plays.
It's always kind of, he's kind of the Michael Sarah of Adam Scott's where he does a thing and you love him in it.
Like Severance amazing.
But it's the same guy from Parks and Rec.
It's the same guy from a million other things that he's done, party down, all that.
It's the same guy.
And in this, he's the same guy, which I think, Ben, Ben,
if it's the movie because it's actually got moments
that are legitimately funny.
That's cool. There's humor in this that
normally wouldn't fit in this kind of movie at all because
there's also some just abject, freaking haunted
horror stuff. And I don't like
haunted stories, but the
witch thing adds a twist
to it in a way that I didn't see coming.
It goes places. Yeah.
Give me like a gore level or
you know, like a level of
blood and would Tina
like this, I guess is the question.
The gore levels low by most
standards.
Okay.
There are a couple of moments of like,
a big body, you know,
like it's not terrible.
It's mostly jump scares,
mostly mood and vibe.
I think she,
if she's okay with those things,
I think she'd be fine with it.
Okay.
And I think,
I think, again,
Adam Scott tends to even out the material
just by being him.
Yes.
What's it called H-U-K-U-M?
Yeah.
And there's a reason it's called that,
but I don't want to give away why it's called that
because it's a fun moment where you get,
you kind of learn them.
title. Have you seen the backrooms yet? Not yet. My daughter loved it though.
Carter loved it. Said it was awesome. But I figured I'd see that at home. I don't need to run
the theater for it. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, this is still in some theaters, I think,
in some limited way, but also it is now rentable and viable and soon, hopefully, just streaming
in normal. But I bought it on Apple or I rented it on the Apple service. You can also get it on
prime right now. This place is usually
do the early rentals. It's still very
very new. It only came out a couple of months ago, but
really, really liked it.
And good year for horror movies, so
check them out. Nice.
It does seem like a lot of
like different horror movies are coming
out. I mean, I heard about obsession.
Yeah. And then
iron lung
background. Yeah. Like a lot of
these independent E type
things. Yep. Yeah. Horror movies
do well. Uh,
For whatever reason, the Gen Zs are apparently are a damaged generation,
and they are making some gnarly horror.
Because the horror movies are getting all the talk right now
are these guys who's like, I'm 21, and I made my first movie.
And now it's like the highest rated thing and made more money than anything in theater.
Like, we're having one of those moments.
You're going to see a lot of really interesting filmmakers come out of it,
but also it makes you wonder how this generation's doing a little bit, you know?
And it's also not like Freddie Part 20.
Right.
Like we went through a phase where it was like everything was like a sequel or, you know,
follow up to something that was already done.
Yeah.
So it's nice to see franchise films.
And it's not just horror.
I mean, we're there's a lot more new ideas and new films that I don't know, like 824,
even though didn't they get bought out?
No, they're still independent.
They did a, um, people are mad at them right now because they're at the table for,
some AI stuff.
I thought a company bought them out.
But anyway, they really
not just brought horror movies
like Midsomner
and
what's some of the other one.
I really enjoy when I see an A24.
Isn't Hatspin Hotel 824? I think it is.
Oh, is it? I don't know. Are they doing that?
Yeah. It might be. No, they've got a really good record. Neon has a really
record. Like these smaller indie studios are kind of killing it right now. And I'm here for it.
I love it. Me too. Check this stuff out at quicktms.l. That'll go up a little bit later when Mike
gets it up. And we will be able to give you all you need by looking there. Nicole and Mateo,
I hope the rest of your drive is uneventful and no one gets sick.
Me too. Yeah. And we'll do this again in like three weeks or something. All right. We'll see you soon.
Bye now. Don't drive safely. You know, follow the
laws of your local municipality.
All right.
We got one quick thing to get through.
I think this is worth playing even though we're a little over time.
We got a message from, this is an email from a dude named Craig.
And here is his intro.
This is about the jugs of pee.
He said this.
Hello, sewer and ballcock.
Fine.
Fine.
Whatever.
Are you all right with that?
You okay with it?
I mean, it's not great for either of us, but it's probably, but at least we know exactly
where he's going with us.
Yeah, we know where he's headed.
He says, there's a plumbing company.
in this area called Morris Jenkins.
They run TV commercials, local TV commercials that are usually entertaining.
However, the one they currently show just doesn't sit well with me.
I keep thinking which item grows Scott out the most.
Watch this commercial and I would love to hear your thoughts.
All right.
So we're just going to play the whole ad.
Cool.
This is not very long.
It's 30 seconds.
And they're a plumbing company.
That's all you need to know.
Here you go.
What's going on night, chef?
Can I send you all a picture of the toy car?
I pulled out of my last clog.
A toy car?
That's child's play.
Have you ever pulled a TV remote out of a pipe?
It's wild.
We only charge $77.
I know it's such a good deal.
And I got a free hot wheel for my kid.
Still not as cool as the bottle of cologne I found on the toilet.
They let me keep it.
Those are great.
But nothing will ever top this one.
We're here to midnight and we make it easy.
Okay.
You want to know it gross me out.
Is that you're going to give that kid that car,
That car that was in the poop pipe.
Gross.
Oh, that's horrendous.
All of it is horrendous and would not make me want to use this company.
No, I don't like your ad.
I really don't.
You could have been more, I don't know, I get you trying to be funny.
You're trying to be edgy, which is funny.
Yeah.
But I don't know.
And also you can tell it's real people that work there because nobody knows how I act.
Yes, which is typical of like the, at least the plumber companies out here,
like the HVAC and plumbing companies all use their employees as actors.
Yeah. And I, and I, there's something about that I kind of like because it's like, you know, it's a hometown thing and whatever.
But if you're telling me a dude even suggests he's going to take a freaking hot wheels car that has been in somebody's poo pipe.
Yeah.
And you're going to take that home and hand it to your kid. Here you go, junior.
You're a shitty dad. That's all I'm saying.
Exactly.
Yuck.
Yeah.
All right. Well, there's that.
If you want to send your emails, you text, whatever, go find all the ways to do it at frogpants.com.
TMS. There is a Monday show today at 1 p.m.
There will be a new Kim's Kitchen up today at some point.
Oh, cool.
I've got to film it, but it's happening.
And more stuff.
So watch for all of that.
Brian, you got anything else?
And if not, let's play a song.
What do you got?
Yeah, nothing else.
We got a lost luggage coming out this week as we make our way through the first season,
continue to.
And soundography, oh, actually, this will be good.
We're doing a soundography Patreon episode, but we're going to put it out for everybody.
one of my favorite bands
The Divine Comedy
has a great concert
available on YouTube
a full concert
I think recorded in Belgium
and it just makes me
wish that they would tour the U.S.
I would see them in a heartbeat
but we'll give a link out
but that's an episode
that we're going to be talking about
we're going to be talking about
that concert movie tomorrow
and putting it up out for everybody
to get access to.
Very nice.
Yeah.
All right, let's get to the request
this one is going out to
Cal
Cal says howdy again
Scott and Brian
perhaps two years ago
you guys played a track
from my brother and I's record
and now we're back at it
with a new one
the Maltese Falcons
have a brand new record
that we've titled Floating Alive
and we'd like to share a song
with you and the community
I think Moon Doon likely
has the most general appeal
but the whole record is pretty slick
and is a big step upwards
from our earlier works
thanks for potentially
being among the first dozen
who might give it a listen
I've been a big fan and patron of the show and look forward to hearing more, keep on listening, or to keeping on listening.
He is on guitar keyboards and drum programming.
His brother is on the vocals.
No AI was used in this music.
He wants to make sure it's said.
There's a song called Moon Dune.
Here are Maltese Falcons.
The battle that I'm fighting with my shadow, hoping that it shields me better than my enamel.
And just the two of us alone in the saddle, tales of the cavalry come and be unraveled.
I think we're seeing eye to eye, or maybe all I'm seeing is my reflection in disguise.
One step behind the finish line, yo, I'm reaching a conclusion that I'm waiting to arrive.
Even with eyes close, I'm seeing things still making the sky glow.
Don't want to look down as I cross a tight road.
Walking the right way down the wrong road.
Please trust that I want to relate.
Disassociate a guy.

With the consolations, no better time to now to find some new accommodations.
Like the combination, not a lack of dedication, just waiting for the door to open using innovation.
Part sedated, part elated, heart back to when part of me hardly participated, looking like
my views are antiquated.
Every conversation inundated with things miscommunicated.
I still need to satisfy the cravings.
Catch up to a wagon that is now an old acquaintance.
Speak of language deemed a bit too dangerous.

Hidden in his rectum.
Oh, rectum damn near Kelm.
Hidden inside, yes, you guessed it, is pooper.
No skin off my butthole.
Dude, if you're getting the skin off your butthole, get that looked at.
Their nature's butthole.
He would thumb or finger up the hoo-ha there.
Or, because a lot of...
His hands are too large.
You can't...
I would have to toss their salad.
Yeah, part of their allure.
Very slowly and methodically inserts that thing in his butthole.
Bums there, he's all exposed.
What's this game we're playing?
Well, you put a toothbrush in your anus and then you read poetry.
It's like a dirty bum.
Just a dirty, dirty bum.
And I don't mean bum like on the street.
I mean bum like your ass is what I do.
Like I had to hold my butt out and go here, kiss it.
My butt itches.
Or itch my butt, that's what it was.
Yeah, itch my butt.
Oh shit, I got neurological tumors on my bunghole.
But on the whole.
On the whole, preparation H is the best.
Maybe it even been like a butt cheek or something for all I know.
It's a little too thin and easy to, well, easy to lose between a pair of butt cheeks, really.
If you're going to be in the porn industry, you better bleed.

Bleach your anus, yes.
Our bums are dumb.
We got dumb bums.
There's no such thing as a good man bum.
Do you think when they shave their butt holes, they call that a Brazilian?
If hobbit's feet are so hairy, how is their hairy hobbit hole?
It looks like a Baldwin brother down there.
It looks like Jean Shalett is giving them a piggyback ride.
Yeah, Gene Shalett right down in the hole there.
When I got into Fracture Butthole, it felt a lot like the first one, but then it finds its own groove as you get further into the butthole.
Oh, it looks like you've already had a finger up your butt recently.
I guess we don't need to do that.
300-year-old note found inside of the butt of a Jesus statue.
Restores of an 18th century statue of Jesus in Spain have found a handwritten note hidden up his bum.
The document carefully handwritten on both sides and two pages was found when restores removed a piece of fabric used to cover Christ's behind and exposed a small gap.
We've all got one of those.
