This is the morning stream, and we're going to need a bigger boat.
Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to TMS or to it for the first time. I don't want to assume you may have just wandered in and gone. Oh, hey, look at this. What the hell's going on in here? That's fine. What are these people doing in here? What are they doing in here? I'll tell you what we're doing. We're doing a show for Wednesday, January 13th, 2021. I'm Scott. He's Brian. Hi, Brian. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. We're hurtling toward the 24th, our 10-year anniversary.
How does it feel?
Wow, it feels crazy.
And I just finished something with regard to our anniversary.
Well, you did, did you now?
I did.
Well, I have done precisely nothing for it.
You've done a lot for it.
You've done content for the last 10 years.
Yeah, I guess there's that.
Yeah.
I've done nothing special.
I can say that we've worked on the anniversary show longer than anybody has worked on.
That's true.
pretty excited about it though and just a heads up jamie's working on a masterpiece of sorts for the tenure so i believe it's finished and they're just uh he's just going crazy waiting to to reveal yeah he he's he tends to get him early and then chomps at the bit until we play them uh yeah but don't worry jamie 24th coming fast i guess it'll be the 20 so but do we play it before yeah we'd play it before yeah do we do we do it on the 21st because the 24th
would be our last
everybody plays show, our last
full skate, not just couple
skate on TMSPM. That's a Thursday,
right? The full skate would be Thursday the 21st.
Or, because it's just the day
before the Monday, do we do it the Monday? Do we do it the
day before? Yeah, as a kickoff
for the, I think I, I don't think I can, well, you know what,
I say we leave it up to Jamie. Let Jamie do
the decision on this one. Let Jamie decide.
Put that on my gravestone.
What are you that?
That's not bad. It's all right.
Jamie, if you're listening, and I know you are because you're always trying to find dumb shit, we say, you decide. You let us know what you want. How about that, buddy?
That's right. That's right. Ten years later. Sunday threw a wrench in all of our works. Who would have thought that there would be a Sunday, 10 years after the first day we did a TMSP? Yeah, that's what kind of dark times do we live in that that ended up happening.
Exactly. How could anyone have predicted such a thing? No, it's impossible. Here's the deal, though. I had no dreams.
last night. I would just like to celebrate that I had no dreams. I had none. I didn't have any.
No dreams. If I had any, the brain did not retain anything of it. I don't remember a thing.
It just went to sleep and I woke up the next morning today. And that's it. That's all I had.
I didn't have, there's no Brian in there with his head on a chair, whatever the heck that was.
That's a oldie, but a goodie. That's a classic. No neighbor hanging from a tree upside down,
laughing at me. None of that. Just
just nothing. Just
me sleeping. It was great.
It was great. Good. Yeah.
And I actually slept, which is also nice.
Okay. I did actually.
You know what? It's rare that I remember my dreams.
Yeah. And this was kind of one of those weird
crossover, like half asleep, half awake kind of things.
So last night,
watching TV, before we went to bed last night,
I were watching TV and we were having a little chips and salsa
because we got this really, really good salsa from this Mexican place nearby.
And with your order, they give you chips and salsa.
We ate up all the chips with the salsa.
We had a lot of salsa left over.
Yeah.
That sounds really good, by the way.
A little snack.
It's really, really good.
But we were having it on the couch.
And so that must have been in my memory for this dream.
Okay.
I dreamt that we were lying in bed.
And Tina said, let's have a little.
let's have some olives, and she brought a snack of a bowl of olives.
Oh, okay.
And set them on the bed, and then in the process of me shifting position to get to set olives,
I lowered part of the bed to where the olives tipped over and started dumping all over the bed itself.
We've never eaten anything in bed.
We don't bring food into bed, ever.
Right.
Bed's not a place for food.
It's not a place for food.
No.
no kink shaming or anything you do what you got to do out there people that's true well okay
it's not a place for for dining or snacking yeah eating well all right anyway so you brought so you
never do that so what do you think it means so anyway i don't know but anyway so as the the bowl
tipped over and the olives getting all over the bed i'm trying to pick them up and collect them
and put them back in the bowl right and i'm feeling around from and i can't find them and i think
well, I thought I put my hand on my wife's boob while she was sleeping.
And I woke up and I said, I had the weirdest dream last night.
And she says, oh, yeah, you touched my shoulder at one point in the middle of the night.
I'm like, oh, I didn't grab your boobs.
She's like, nope, you touched my shoulder.
I'm like, okay.
Probably not like, you know, it would have been a.
Yeah, it wouldn't have been the controversy of the year.
Exactly.
No. But still, that's pretty funny. It reminds me of that scene in, there's an episode of Faulty Towers where...
Yeah, that's where he's feeling around for the lights with. The Australian lady's like stretching out in front of the door. He reaches around looking for the switch and then his wife sees the whole thing. It's fantastic.
Right. I know what? Why does that humor work so well in that show, but I think it's so stupid in American shows. Like, that's basically Jack Tripper doing something. But I don't, but it's not funny on Three's Company. It's really.
funny when John Cleese does it.
I think it's the delivery.
I mean, John Ritter was great.
He was a comic timing master.
Yeah.
He just was given the most ridiculous and stupid premise and writing to have to be humorous with.
I think you're right.
I think there's something to that.
But yeah, I'm glad that you didn't, A, grab her boob.
B, have olives in the bed, and C, you remembered your dreams on a night that I had none.
I know, exactly.
It's the master has become, no, no, the student has become the master.
There it is.
That's right.
Don't worry, though.
I'm sure some psycho will happen and I'll end up having more of it.
I guess I'm glad for the reprieve.
I'm not used to not remembering them.
It's like the opposite for me usually.
So, uh, you get your one.
You get a couple of good nights a year and that's all you get.
That's all you get.
Uh, Ken wrote into the show rather.
his name is Ken and he said this talking about movies for generations and specifically for
millennials because we talked we talked a lot yesterday about how impactful breakfast club is
and all the John Hughes stuff was for us right and then the movies seem to follow us
with reality bites and clueless into our into our formative views maybe less with clueless
but certainly with yeah singles and reality bites like and even like uh what's it called
the the link later movie uh oh dazed and confused days and confused
It was super influential.
Well, except that one takes place
in the 70s, doesn't it?
It does, but it's something about it.
But it came out at the time that we would have been
roughly the age that they were in the 70s.
Well, it was, I guess they were all in high school.
I was, I think that movie came out in 93.
College.
Yeah, we were college at that time.
We were just coming out of college.
Yeah, so it felt, for whatever reason,
that felt like a similar vibe to me
and it stuck with me for similar reasons.
But here's what he says.
This is what Ken says.
He says, just binging through the millennial teen dromedy pin 15 on Hulu.
Or gem for us, Canucks.
That's interesting.
Oh, really?
It's called something like they basically said.
Americans aren't going to watch something if it's called Jim.
We got to put a fake looking word penis in there.
Yeah, you got a penis on there.
It's just a one in a five, but it looks like you're spelling the word penis here in America.
Anyway, he says it's great and I highly recommend it.
We know we've both seen it and recommended it, I haven't.
Well, you haven't?
I've not seen Penn 15.
O'Brien!
Yeah.
O'Brien, start up the transporter, O'Brien.
You need to watch that.
That's a funny, really, I don't know how this.
This is one of those shows that does a weird thing.
It's got two ladies in their, like, 30s, these comedians who are playing 13, 14-year-olds.
They're playing junior high kids.
And it's obvious every second that they're in it that they're not 13.
they look 30 whatever but it's so good and they're so they so nail that time of a kid's life
and every other actor in the show are all kids they're all third actually 13 but they're not
and it never comes up that it's like you're way too old to be playing a younger character okay
yeah it's it's it's so it's crazy how it works and it's so funny and heartfelt at timed it's so
good yeah you got to see penn 15 it's very good
Anyway, he says, though, technically to fit the John Hughes model would have to be a beloved Gen X movie made for millennials while in their teenage years.
That movie, of course, is mean girls, he says.
Mean girls is good, yeah.
I mean, mean girls was so, the topic was that there were girls that were mean.
You know what I mean?
Like, it didn't have, like, breakfast club wasn't called John.
what's his name is a dick you know what i mean like john bernand is a dick yeah or or uh here's the nerd
locked in the thing or whatever like i'm i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna cut in and interrupt here because
brian dunaway is getting the call to go get his covid test or i'm sorry covid vaccine what
yes so what so he can't be here is what he's saying no he's saying it's either now or never
oh well i'll call him now i'll call him now that's sorry to interrupt because i like i want to go back to
the mean girls thing more if we have time because I do feel like talking about that is uh well let's
let's do done away let's bring him in he's also we'll see what we've got he's more important all right
let's get him in here uh hold on now everybody just hold on to your butts
hey check it out as brian dunaway is about to get a covid test what's what's that about
oh hi's gotten brine how come you're getting a vaccine what's that's how come you're getting a vaccine what's
about? Because I live with someone. Right, because I'm really over 70. Because I live with somebody who is a
frontline worker. And I was already scheduled myself in about another week or two. They called me this morning
and said, you can get it. And I was like, okay, we'll call you. I'm like, okay. And they just like called me like a
couple of minutes ago. So, oh, that's exciting, dude. Well done. You were, you were telling her today too.
Oh, really? Excellent. Look at this. A banner day for everybody with the COVID vaccine. Here's the other thing. Yesterday, you
were like, oh, you got a 30-80?
I'm so jealous.
Well, now I'm jealous of your freaking COVID vaccine.
I'll trade you.
I mean, Scott's games are going to look really, really good and smooth.
But you're not going to die.
Yeah, but you're not going to die.
We'll see.
Good job.
We'll see.
Excellent stuff.
We've got a listener on the line so that we can play this game and get you off to your test.
Let's find out who this is.
Hi, good morning.
Who's this?
Hi, good morning.
It's Nisper and the Tadpool.
How is everybody?
Nistmaru.
Nice to have you here.
Why does that name sound like a name of the, it's like a Star Trek ship?
The Nistmaru, doesn't it?
Or is it?
It sounds like the Kobayashi Maru.
Oh, maybe that's why.
It's a test.
That's what it is, a test.
Anyway, welcome to the show.
It's good to have you here and hear your voice.
We're going to play a game.
Brian will explain the rules and what you could win.
Yes.
I'm going to give Scott and Brian a topic.
They're going to go back and forth, giving me answers that fit that topic.
Ah, the classic.
If one of them gives a wrong answer, a repeated answer, it takes too long to come up with an answer.
The win goes to the other player.
Nistamaru, your job is to predict who's going to come out on top based on the topic.
Today, you are playing for a couple of games from Steam, courtesy of Wesley Trouberbrook.
Trubberbrook.
Oh, that's the game, not his last name.
Okay.
That was Wesley Trubberbook.
All right.
Wesley, Trubber book.
So the two games are Trubberbook and Driftland, the Magic Revival.
Ooh, Driftland's very cool.
Yeah, Driftland's good.
Real good.
All right.
Awesome.
Those are nice prizes.
what's our what's our topic your topic today comes to us from a listener who goes by the name dean
swedberg uh simpson's been running for over 30 seasons and has numerous celebrity cameos over
the years of note there are some bands and musicians that have shown up to play their music
uh i want to see how many of the actual musicians and bands that have shown up as themselves
So, like, real cameos.
Real cameos.
Right.
Okay.
What about cameo?
What about cameo?
Is that your first guess?
No, I'm just saying.
We haven't even heard if Nistamaru was going to let you go first,
but maybe you should have to hold on to that one.
I don't know.
He had a big rush here.
Nis-Maru, who do you think is going to get it right here?
You know, I don't quite know,
but let's go with Scotts to go first and Brian to win.
All right.
I'm going to change this a little bit because I'm seeing that a few of these R-1s I know did not appear as themselves, and I don't want to try and segregate these out.
So musicians that have appeared on The Simpsons, whether or not they played themselves or not, because they're right, yeah, there are a couple already that I'm looking at.
It's like, because I'm going to give an example that's a really well-known example early on, Michael Jackson.
There was a character, voice actor, who was supposed to be Michael Jackson, but the character was supposed to be insane.
Yeah. And they never even gave him credit. He's not even in the credits.
That's right.
Totally can't. That's a good example. Okay.
That's right. We'll throw that one out.
It wasn't, did Nismer said Scott go first, Brian to win, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Right. Brian was just pooping an example.
So we're just throwing that one out. Okay. All right.
All right. Let's go with, uh, let's go with Aerosmith.
Oh.
Aerosmith from the episode, Flaming Mose, of course.
Flaming Moes.
Flaming Moes.
I'm going to go with one of my favorites.
It was when the red hot chili peppers were on there, right?
Yes.
From Krusty gets canceled.
The Red Hot Chilipers.
Okay.
Trying to remember what song they did.
Flea was funny, as he always is.
He's a weirdo.
I'm also going to restrict this to the first 25 seasons because it looks like that's where
this list stops, even though there are five more seasons of musicians.
Oh.
I let you back to my second one
It's actually going to be one from recent
I don't believe
I don't believe he's lying
That's not true
I don't believe
So hold on a second
Movie doesn't count
I didn't say that
With there a cameo
So it does count
I'm gonna say it counts then right
This is the movie counts
It does count
All right then
Green Day was in the movie
Absolutely
Ah green day was in the movie
Yep
I never said it didn't count
So absolutely
Green Day.
All right.
It's the whole intro and it's fantastic.
I remember an episode
with Metallica.
Yes, you do.
And that was called the
MOOC, the chef, the wife,
and her Homer.
And Otto was freaked out.
Auto was freaked out, man.
All right.
So that's a good one.
You did there.
Let's go with
Oh, I can't remember his name.
Oh, I know Sting's been on.
Sting.
Sting has, yes.
That's a good one.
When Homer fell down the well, Sting joined or led Zeeves.
Right. The song.
Was there more there?
Because that was kind of like one of those.
Maybe.
It was a weird of the world kind of thing.
Yeah, oh my God.
But were they pretend?
Oh, I don't remember.
I only remember the Sting one.
Ooh, that's a good one.
um this is a later season one but uh lady gaga was on there um she was
later ones how late was it though lisa goes gaga is the episode and um and it's absolutely
within the first 25 seasons okay excellent okay i pick back up around season 20 uh to when they
went to the hd just to kind of see how things were wide screen yeah the show's always good by the way
I'm not one of those.
I refuse to acknowledge people who think the Simpson sucks.
It's great.
It's funny every week.
It's not funny every week.
Most every week.
I'm going with three out of four weeks.
There you go.
Doctors say, four out of five doctors say.
Let's go with spinal tap.
They did a thing.
Oh, that's the next one.
Even though they're a fake band.
Hello, Springfield.
There will be no encore.
Is he looking on his ring or his arm or something?
He had written.
His arm.
The back of his guitar had Springfield written on it in tape, yeah.
It's too good.
All right.
The auto show, by the way, is the episode for Spinal Tap.
Right.
I'm going to go with Insane and the membrane.
I'm going to go with Cypress Hill.
Oh, my gosh, dude.
Deep cut.
From Homer Palooza.
Yes, Cypress Hill made their appearance.
Oh, there's a few on that episode.
Yeah, that's one I was thinking about.
I try to remember who was all there.
Oh, man.
Because sometimes they had,
I don't know.
That was the Gen X episode.
That was the ultra Gen X episode, that one.
Yeah, it was.
Oh.
All right.
I'm trying to remember the little
the guy with the little midgety guy.
I know what you're talking about.
And that was the early on schick.
He didn't do that much later, did he?
Rock.
I'm Chris Rock.
Kid Rock.
I forgot that was the thing he used to do.
I think it was that same episode, Kid Brock and the little midgety guy.
It was a different episode, but absolutely.
Kid Rock.
Kill the alligator and run was the Kid Rock episode.
Right.
Sorry.
I couldn't, I don't, when I say midgety, whatever.
I have a little friend who prefers I call him midgety.
Don't ask me why.
I'm not saying I do it to everybody.
I'm saying he says I like that term better than any of the other stuff we'd try to call ourselves.
I said, yeah, but you're like the only one so I can only say it to you.
He's not black and gay.
No, not that guy.
We're hoping for the trifecta of a little person.
He's not that guy.
My, for those new to this, ultimately one day, I will have a great, even maybe best friend who is black, gay, dwarven or small.
What else?
Dwarven.
Yeah, Dwarven's not right.
to you. You get dwarven?
I play a dwarven
friend.
Look, I know what I'm saying is I know
it's not the term. I'm going to go ahead and say the smashing pumpkins.
Please do. Yes. Smashing pumpkins,
by the way, another one from that same Homer Palooza.
I saw I think of that was.
Thank you. Thank you for saving us.
All right. I want
Oh, what, what, uh, oh, fish.
Isn't fish in there?
Oh, fish, interesting.
Wow, yes.
Weekend at Bernsies.
Weekend at Bernsies.
Oh, I forgot about that one.
Yeah, fish.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
That was the era, man.
Oh, I know what I know.
I know, I know I'm almost positive.
Now I'm getting into the realm of, I think I saw that because every character in the world,
Every human has been Simpson-fied at one point in time,
and I'm getting confused whether it was actually there
or if I'm just seeing them in sensified,
simpson-fied art form.
But it's not like you, too, was there in one episode.
In Trash of the Titans, they absolutely were.
Oh, good.
I can see them.
Yeah, that's when they were fighting the Shelbyville or something.
There was some Shelbyville fight in that.
Was it over the limitry?
I don't remember.
Um, all right.
And so far, you guys have all named ones that played themselves, which is good.
Yeah, we haven't screwed that up yet.
Nope.
They usually play themselves.
It's quite the, uh, quite the thing to be a guest star on the Simpsons at one point in time.
Yeah, but sometimes like you'll, like, I'm pretty sure whoever played Lurlien, like who, I don't have a character who sings.
Yeah.
Right.
I think Lurlene was like.
Oh, yeah.
Lurlene.
I forgot about her, but she wasn't playing herself.
Yeah.
Um, all right.
Oh, that's a good point.
Uh.
Yeah, like Dustin Hoffman played the teacher, but he wasn't Dustin Hoffman in it.
Okay, I just had it.
Oh, David Crosby.
David Crosby, he actually appeared on a couple different episodes.
Homer's Barbershop Quartet is the one I have written here.
Oh, okay.
That was a good one.
I couldn't remember if the entire band was there, so that's why I said David Crosby, because that's the only one I remember.
Now I'm definitely feeling like I'm dismayed.
making a crap in my head because I could swear I could swear maybe I just dreamed it
but I can't remember the episode exactly but gotta swear I remember corn being on there
corn corn is corn on there not under K and not under C just in case oh man
not under K either corn with a Q God I'm getting so confused that I can see every
band in my head in Simpsons fashion now it's possible that they've been on in
last five seasons but uh he is in sync on there and sync is on there yeah they were on the
episode new kids on the bleach that's right nobody nobody mentioned linda ronstat from the mr plow
episode oh god god he is loser and i think he is a loser i forgot about that one i totally forgot
she was on there um and then the great episode how i spent my strummer vacation where homer goes
to uh guitar or rock camp yeah had oh yeah
Let me tell you all the people who are in that one.
Tom Petty, Mick Jagger, Lenny Kravitz, Keith Richards, and Elvis Castello, and Brian Setser.
Oh, Brian Setser there.
Was his orchestra there, just him?
Probably just him.
Okay.
You also could have said, Weirdell Yankevick, Allison Kroes, Anne Hathaway, who's kind of a stretch.
Buckman Turner Overdrive, the Baja Men, Barry White, Bet Midler, Blink 182, Brave Combo, Brian Setser, Brittany Spears, Carrie Brownstein, Chris Martin.
Britney Spears, that's right.
Yep.
Clarence Clemens, Cindy Lopper,
Darrell Coley,
David Byrne, Dixie Chicks,
Dolly Parton, Eartha Kit,
Elton John,
Fallout Boy,
that's funny.
Fantasia Borino,
Flight of the Concords,
Fred Armisen,
George Harrison,
the cast of Glee,
Glenn Hansert and Marcotta Irglova
from the,
from falling.
Some of these feel like stretches.
Oh, well, those two.
I mean,
if you haven't heard that,
seen that movie once,
you need to see that movie
just once
Hank Williams Jr. was on there twice
Jack Black, Jackson Brown, James Brown, James
Taylor, Jim Gilstrap, Joe C
separate from
Kid Rock. I would have said
James Brown was a faker. I wouldn't have said
that he was actually on the show. Yeah, that would have
been hard. That would have been a hard movie. James Taylor
remember was the astronaut episode where Homer
Goes to Space with like Buzz Aldrin and everything
and that also had Buzz Aldrin in it.
That's right.
Johnny Cash, I think was the
the coyote that talks to him after he takes the peyote or the no it was not pey it was the chili it was the
chili there's the hot chili pepper oh right oh what was name of that pepper uh insanity pepper something
something insanity pepper something insanity guatemalan insanity pet something like that yeah i think
that might be right yeah he ate the wax candle so he didn't play johnny cash so that would
have been a goof right yeah but i would have accepted it because this list has it
Oh, it does have it?
See, he played a dog, but not...
He did.
Yeah, he played a coyote.
Or coyote, but he didn't play...
He didn't play a coyote named Johnny Cash, though.
No, I said that at the beginning that since I saw Michael Jackson on this list, I will accept any...
Oh, that's right.
You were going to accept them, not denied them.
Yes, yeah, okay.
Correct.

what I'm talking about. Zooey. I know what you're talking about.
Oh, I get it. I see what you're saying. All right. Well, look at that.
The only bummer about all that is that we didn't get a winner here for listener Nismeru.
How do you feel, man, for backing that horse?
I never regret, you know, betting on someone and backing them and supporting them.
So it's all good. There you go. There's only one example of that I can think he might regret.
But anyway, hey, thanks for playing. And we'll have another try next time.
Hey, Brian, go get your shot.
And then you'll have to report back on how that went, I guess, next Monday.
A real shot in the arm.
Yeah.
When do you get the jab?
Go get the jab.
Do you have a scheduled second follow up already or do they do that at the time?
No, no. They'll probably tell me today.
Okay.
All right. Well, don't do it in the bum.
All right. That's all we're asking.
We'll see.
We'll see what they say.
No bum.
All right. He's gone.
He can now go with impunity and actually go get his shot.
He doesn't have to talk to us.
When, me, yes, I did say, Weird Liankevick, Scott and Brian.
and didn't come up with it, but it was the first one on my list
because alphabetically, quotation marks around
Weird All Yankovic comes first.
Yeah.
Wayne, did you also have a list?
Or you read them all, I guess.
The ones that even played other people.
So Lerlene, I have wrong.
That's just a voice actress or something.
Oh, really?
Lerlien wasn't a singer.
I must.
Well, I just thought she was.
Lurlien, Simpsons.
Let's see who it is.
Lurlien Lumpkin.
Yeah.
She was the voice.
Oh, here we go.
She was voiced by Beverly DeAngelo.
Beverly DeAngelo, who was on my list, but of course we know her better as Mrs. Griswold.
Yeah, that's hilarious.
I didn't know that.
That's great.
That is great.
Yeah, she was on a ton of episodes.
That's cool.
I had no idea.
Anyway, by the way, I just want to say this for her.
Can I just make a Beverly DeAngelo comment?
Will it get us in trouble?
No, no.
In fact, it may get me in trouble
with Chevy Chase fans, but if you look at those two,
she looks amazing now.
Oh, as far as like how they look today?
Yeah, Chevy Chase looks like a freaking scone
that fell off the wagon.
Like, he looks terrible.
She looks awesome.
So if they ever did a movie,
it would have to be about how he just let himself go
and she stayed classy.
That's how that would have to go.
I'm now in the community season.
season five
which is where we start to see much more
or much less I mean of Pierce
and he's about to get out of there
he's about to get out of there he's about to get the axe
right the first episode he appears as a hologram
oh he does oh my gosh
it's like the show new
it's like the show wanted to kind of poke around
you know what a weird thing
that shows weird now are you get
does that mean you're getting to the point where you're like
I don't know if I want to be here
a little bit yes
I'm trying
decide if I'm going to go for
completion or if I'm going to
say that's this is where I
pull the ripcord because
season five is where
Jeff becomes a teacher
the students who all graduated kind of come back
to to go to more classes
and it's funny because
because I actually kind of
like the fourth season
even though it's called the gas leak season.
They even joke about that in the show itself,
saying that the gas leak last year.
But I kind of like season four.
I think there's some pretty funny stuff.
There's even a callback to the dice of destiny
or whatever it's called, the chaos theory episode.
Oh, that was so good.
That is the best episode.
Yeah.
It is.
It's really good.
I mean, season three,
I think season three is the best season.
do you feel like they could have stopped there and just said they could have stopped you know what um somebody who's never seen community i'd say you're fine just ending at the end of season four because it wraps things up they thought that it was going to be the last they wrote it in a way that ties things up so that it could be the last episode yeah um so if you've never seen community yeah watch through season four and stop there if you want okay maybe that's the watch through all day
there you go oatmeal savage the darkest timeline not the worst timeline yeah darkest the darkest
keep it straight all right it is now time for this good morning good morning everybody in the news
this morning good morning good morning we're going to do some news that's brought to you by
brought to you by coverville which will be tomorrow but i'm going to tease it a little bit today
uh Suggs from the band madness is turning 65 i believe so we're going to have a Suggs episode of or a
madness episode of coverville there are a couple Suggs solo tracks he covers
he covers a song that has become really popular because of a new pharmaceutical, but it's that song by Supergrass called All right.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Anyway, he covers that, and he also covers Cecilia by Simon Garfunkel really, really well in a very cool madness kind of style.
Anyway, that'll be tomorrow. I might mention this again tomorrow, but that's fine.
I had the community page up in front of me, and I didn't have time to think about coming up with another promo.
Did you get a box of Monk snacks?
Yes.
They're very good.
So they're a sponsor.
Okay.
They're, well, they're technically, there's the funny thing.
They're technically, I think, an instance thing.
Okay.
But your name, I have your name on the list.
So I don't mind that you got them is what I'm saying.
Want me to record something as a thrall for, uh...
Yeah, if you can do your best thrall, that's what we're looking for.
I'll paint your face.
I know that's not thrall, but, uh...
Are we sure, though?
I'll paint your face with these delicious snacks.
Maybe Brian just let a warcraft plot slip that none of us knew about before.
Maybe that is thrall.
Oh, I know.
He's, um...
Oh.
Dressed as a boss in a raid where he's supposed to be a vikral.
Hmm.
Oh, oh.
All right, here's your first story.
Oh, dear.
Oh dear. Hey, remember that horn?
Speaking of a shaman. This is a good transition
actually. Oh, look at that. Well, well done.
You know the horned protester
dude? Yes, the loyal order
of the water buffalo rioter. Yeah, that guy.
He's
hard to avoid in all those photos,
I guess. I'm sure he knows that.
He made his first
court appearance, and this is actually not
necessarily breaking news by any stretch, but he refuses
to eat in detention because
they won't bring him
only organic food.
that's part of his deal yeah he's one of those guys and that's you know fine it's a lifestyle choice
but i don't think you get to choose in prison here's the problem or in detention apparently since
this and i didn't i couldn't find the follow-up article but apparently they're trying to
accommodate this now and bring him organic food which really rubs my cheese let him eat like every
other person in detention has to eat and don't give him special help is what i'm saying listen
I I'm going to take the other position on this because if you if you do it for somebody else like let's say let's say Carter through no fault of her own somehow ends up in in jail before she can say no it was it was someone who looked like me here's my proof and da da da da da you get the wrong person sure and she requests and she's vegan right and she's vegetarian yeah
okay and if they refused to bring her vegetarian meals you would say that's not right you should allow for vegetarian meals yeah but we'd say that knowing that she's innocent right and and even though we have presumed innocence in this country when it comes to the legal process we know this dipshit was there because he's in every photo and interviewed like live on camera so i have way we can't we can't we can't change the rules based on before trial before they're
They're officially convicted.
Right.
So that's why I'm saying the rules, the rules should be whatever the food is, is the food.
So even in Carter's case, I'd say, well, until this works itself out, you're going to have to eat whatever, right?
And here's the thing.
She'd be a lot better.
She just wouldn't eat meat.
So they'd bring her food and she'd avoid the meat.
And that, and that I think should be enough.
I'll dial it back.
I'll dial my Karen back and say, say that.
Offering vegetarian meals should be, you basically should get your choice of either meat or vegetarian meals.
Yeah, I think that's probably...
I don't think you need to go as far as vegan or organic or kosher or anything like that, I'd say.
Right.
The organic part is tricky because that's a very specific thing.
It is, exactly.
That I don't think the court systems in this country are, like, scrambling to make sure they have freaking organic food on hand for this moron in particular.
Yep.
Anyway, he's being held.
I'm with the Ace Fury or Furry 83.
I think, you know, vegetarian okay, but I don't want, I don't think anybody should be able to change the rules and say, no, I want organic or nothing.
Is this chicken free range?
Did this cow live in a...
Are these eggs stamped with a little E.B.
In a circle on them?
And don't get me wrong, people.
I'm not making fun of that stuff.
That stuff's great.
If you can get it and do it and you want to, I'm all for more humane treatment of animals.
I'm all for better prepared food.
I'm all for chickens that aren't crammed together, all that stuff.
I'm all for all that stuff.
I just don't know if I care about this shaman guy.
No, I don't think he should get special treatment,
but I think inmates who are vegetarians should get that preference.
I wouldn't say it's special treatment, but I feel like that.
You know, if they offer it on a plane, it should be offered in jail.
Sure.
Because it's really the same food.
It's a fair point.
It kind of is, yeah.
Unless you go to Japan or no, Korea, Korean Airlines.
Oh, yeah.
Have you ever seen what they feed people on Korean Airlines?
Overseas flights are great.
We took British Airways over to London.
We were treated.
It was delicious.
We took, was it Qantas?
What did we take to?
Quantis.
Australia.
No, wasn't Qantas.
Because you take Qantas throughout Australia, but you don't take it from.
I don't think you can take it from America.
Maybe you can.
But maybe it was United, we had international for Australia.
The food on almost every international flight is not too bad, but I watch one of those better
or gotta feed Phil episodes where he was
hanging around the
it's actually a Swedish chef that runs it but it's the
Korean Airlines food preparation
stuff. I was blown away
dude. Those people like
they're preparing like gourmet
everything in that
place. It was crazy. If you guys haven't
seen that episode, a better feed Phil or how do you
feed Phil or shove it up Phil?
What's the name of the show? Yeah, what is it's uh...
Phil needs to eat. He's hungry.
Yeah. Somebody feed Phil. Somebody feed Phil.
Is that it? Uh,
we like that show oh yeah that's a good point
PC room points out that in Rain Man
the the Qantas option was
that they'd fly from
the east coast to Australia
and then back to California
so that because it was the only
airline that hadn't had a crash
gotcha oh that's right I forgot about that
so that you can fly
from different countries to Australia
I got distracted by walking
so that's how that went
anyway both of these charges
that he's being held for by the way
are whether they're calling
federal misdemeanors which I thought
that's an interesting thing to me because
federal, I thought a federal crime
versus a misdemeanor. Once it gets to a federal crime
it's more than a misdemeanor. Yeah, but they're
calling them federal misdemeanors which
okay, I guess they just
prosecuted federally but they're still misdemeanors
anyway. 33 year old Q&ON conspiracy theorist was a frequent
participant pro-Trump rallies in the Phoenix
area in recent months. He had appeared in costume
of horns, fur headdress, and
tan pants with no shirt, a bunch of tattoos
as well. Chansley is his name.
By the way, you know how we found out
about this? His mother told the news.
Oh, was he the one whose mother turned him in?
Yeah, well, no, not turned him in, but she's the one
that told the news. They're not bringing
my son his organic food.
Oh, gotcha. Okay.
Blue freaking who.
Hi, my son is the one
with the horns and the headdress
and the leather pants, no shirt.
Hi, yes. You can't miss him.
I know he's in there. Could you bring him
some steamed tofu, please?
You really, you just won't eat if you don't do it.
He'll starve himself.
Mom, can you call him and tell him to give you some organic food?
Don't call me, don't call me Chansley, Mom.
Call me Shaman.
Quit calling me Viagetti.
My name's not Viaggetti.
It's not Via Getty.
It's not Chansley.
I'm the shaman.
Okay?
I'm queuing on shaman.
I'm rest out spec.
Anyway.
I addressed the judge, made no statement.
though regarding the charges he may be able to contact a friend who would provide an attorney
for him says this always says I'm not really worried about it because in all honesty I didn't
break any laws I walked through an open door says Chan's just why he was just walking by
and saw the door was just happened to be there yeah I'm just I don't think it works that way
dude I'm no expert look I'm not a lawyer I'm no judge I don't think it works that way I'm just
going to go ahead and put my my cards on the table and say it doesn't work that way so
Good luck to you.
Sorry, Dollar Storege America, why you're not going to get your...
I wonder if his face paint is organic,
where if he, you know, has to do special stuff.
Yeah, what about his leather pants?
Yeah, what about those?
Are those organic cow skins?
Hmm.
Yeah.
Those real horns or plastic?
Here's a good one.
You'll like this.
I don't know why he'd like this one, but I'm going to tell you about it.
Okay.
A hacker used ransomware.
This is so weird
I use ransomware to lock
a victim into their Internet of Things
Chastity Belt
I heard about this
Well I heard about this Internet of Things
Chastity Belt
I didn't realize
This is
This is
Okay this is new news
I guess the Chastity Belt thing was last year
Yeah
And they lie
The thing is if you hack those
It's like any Internet of Things thing
There's so many like really poorly secured
IOT things floating around the world
they're bad it's bad like try to if i meant it's my advice today if you're going to get like
a camera and uh freaking i don't know whatever else like go do your research on what security
they're using how encrypted is this stuff like a lot of these are just garbage junk things
that come out of china that are just bad yeah so here's an example source code for the chastity
belt or chastity lock uh a ransomware that targeted a male user of a
A specific adult toy is now publicly available for research purposes.
Users of the Bluetooth-controlled Q-Q-Q-E-C-E-Selmate, Chastity Bell.
Qui-wee-wee-wee-K-W-E-E-W-E-W-E-E-M-E-E-W-E-E-W-E-E-E-E-W-E-E-E-E.
Like, I would think if you split it up and go key, Q-I-I-S-E-E-E, but maybe not. I don't know.
Maybe it's just, it's a bad. I'm looking, actually, I'm on their webstite, right, webstite.
Webstite, right now.
Uh-huh, the webstite.
Oops.
Oops, oh no, there we go.
I want to copy.
Don't lose the webstite.
Keep on the webstite.
Webstite.
169 for these, the bucks for these things.
They're out of stock currently.
At least they're out of stock on the short model.
Wow.
Okay.
You're going to grab one?
You're going to get one on hold there?
No, I'm absolutely not.
But I'm curious about like, you know, the, well, really the point.
I guess it's like if you,
If your wife just doesn't trust you, she's going out of town for a while.
He's like, I'm buying you the cellmate chastity cage.
Yep.
And she's got the app and you can't do anything about it sort of thing.
Because that's the whole point of this thing.
There's an app to control it locking and unlocking via Bluetooth.
It's usually managed by somebody else than the person wearing the device.
So like the wife, you're saying.
In 2020, in October, researchers at Penn Test Partners published details about a serious vulnerability that allowed a remote attacker to take
control of any of the cellmate devices.
They found that making a request to the API endpoint did not require authentication,
and that using a six-digit friend code would return a huge amount of information about
that user, such as location, phone number, and their plain text password.
Nope.
Clunk.
What has happened?
My wiener device has closed, and it will not open.
Now, I'm looking at this article has a map of the world with,
little blue push pins
showing I guess where all the users of this are
Oh yeah, I guess so
Is that some of the data they got out of this thing?
I think it's some of the data they got out of this thing
And I'm noticing it doesn't appear that
It looks like there are two states
In the U.S. that do not have any users
Of the Kiwi
Utah and Colorado look like they're
Well one of
of those is that boomer lady or not bober bober bober whatever yeah bobert's got one you know she's got
one because she's got that husband that exposes himself to 16 year old so yeah yeah she's got to clamp
like i have to go to washington sorry honey you're putting the uh you're putting this on you think that
was a gun they were trying to get out of her purse at the at the scanner yesterday uh wouldn't be
it wouldn't surprise me just because that is her big platform she she's one of her counties is
rifle county um no i guarantee
it's a gun, but I think it'd be funnier if it was a crotch
If it was a chastity belt
Yeah, that'd be funnier
Just trying to get it home to Barry or whatever his name is
Barry
Barry, sorry Barry
All right, so there's that
Here's a final one for you
Before we take our break
The world's unluckiest burglars arrested after pocket dialing
The police during a robbery
So they basically bum dialed somebody
What do you guys call that?
But dialing?
What do you call it?
But dialing, yeah, butt dialing.
I think that's pretty universal.
Pocket dialing I've never heard of, but this is the UK, so we'll give them, you know, give them some leeway.
The UK, we don't have butts, we have posteriors.
Yes, pocket.
Posterio dialing.
Yes.
Fanny dialing.
Yes.
That's a different thing.
Oh.
Two hapless burglars have been arrested in the UK after accidentally pocket dialing the police during their crime.
An officer in Stadford Shire, Central England, labeled the thieves, quote, the world's unluckiest burglars.
and liken them to the ill-fated crooks in the movie Home Alone.
You know, uh,
Wet Bandits.
Daniel Stern and, uh, Chuckie Cheese.
Nope.
What's your name?
Damn it.
I had his name in my head until you said Chuckie Cheese.
What's wrong with me?
He's one of the great actors of our generation.
Joe Pesci.
Joe Pesci.
Joe Pesci, geez.
Uh,
Chuckie cheese.
That's fantastic.
Joe Peshys.
You would watch that movie again if Chuckie cheese was in it.
Tell me you wouldn't.
Yeah.
So are you kidding me?
I'd actually much rather see my cousin Vinnie with Chuckie cheese as, uh...
Oh, my gosh.
You're running in two youths.
You're becoming a Spider-Man right before my eyes.
Oh, no.
Did I?
Was my camera on?
Yeah, the whole time.
It is exposed.
He's Spider-Man.
Spider-Man.
Yeah, that's a cool shirt.
I like that shirt.
Thank you.
It's also very warm down here.
Oh, why so warm?
just the heater?
Just the heat? Well, actually, it's going to be a warm day.
It's like going to be in the 50, high 50s, low 60s today.
Oh, that's crazy.
We're in the 40s.
I thought that was warm, but you guys must be getting a storm soon.
That's usually what that means.
We are.
There's something coming in overnight tonight.
Bringing some snow to the high country, and then we'll see one to two inches here in the plains.
Let's check in Rifle County where there's a lot of bullets coming.
Uh, anyway, it says we just arrested, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whilst committing the burglary, the burgling, one of the burgling burglars had accidentally sat on his phone and dialed 999, which over there is like our 911.
Yeah, that's that and that's right there is the problem, is the 999.
Agreed. Agreed. Yeah. Because we always, people always say, why 911? Part of it is not because of cell phones, but because even on a regular phone, a little kid is way less likely to do a 9 and 2 ones.
than he is to do three of any number.
Exactly.
So because of that, that's why that's smarter.
No offense, Britain, but change your damn number.
That's stupid.
Yeah.
Make it the same number.
Make a 911 around the world for Pete's sake.
Yeah.
Or at the very least, switch it around.
Be 119 or be 3,8, 2, or whatever you're going to do.
Something.
I know they want it to be memorable, so 3-9s is very memorable.
But I've heard this before from UK listeners and others over there that they get
constantly are getting butt dials, kid dials, goofed up stuff,
and it just sometimes overwhelms their system.
Claire Gak just said that she once called 999 when she was young accidentally.
What happened there, Claire?
Did they come bustling over and say,
Ah, we're the police open the door.
Open your effing door.
We're coming in.
There's a bobby at the door.
Let us in.
That's right.
If you don't open the door.
We'll say shit.
It'll sound like shite.
I heard there were some kids trying to steal your lucky charms.
I don't know why.
I'm sorry.
I don't know why I rest up.
It's so funny to me.
I can't help it.
And Claire, you know, we love you.
So don't, you know, never take it personally.
Oh, yeah.
But we love it.
All right.
That's it.
We're going to take a break.
When we come back, Tom, we'll be here with some technology news.
It is, uh, it is technical.
CES week, normally a Vegas event, now an online only thing.
We'll find out what that is, or what's happening today.
And then after that, possibly Nicole.
Oh, I got a reply. Let's see.
Okay.
Okay. She says, oh, she'll be there.
Okay.
She'll be here. Okay.
So all that's coming up.
Before that, though, a song that Brian will now present.
Brian, what is it?
Yeah. Oh, we're getting to do a good one here.
This is, today's ending in the middle.
It comes to us from band called Still Corners.
They're getting ready to release their fifth.
studio album, which is called
The Last Exit, comes out
a week from Friday, January
22nd, via Recking Light Records.
Big thanks to Ricking Light Records.
This is the brand new
song from that album.
It's really good.
I actually kept on
their site and listened to a bunch of their songs, which are all
really good. Here is Still Corners
with the song, White Sands.
We're going to be able to be.
We're going to be able to be.
You know, I'm going to be able to be able to be.
You know, I'm going to be able to.
I'm a lonely highway
From where I came
The road ramps have
Like a runway for an aeroplane
It's where I came from
It's where I've been
Always wandering around
and around and around
and around
or how
oh how
I'm
a vast
I'm a vast drifto from life signs
For 200 years
I've run across this balance
It's where I came from
It's where I've been
Always wandering around and around and around
And around
Around
Around
Around
Around
Around
Around
Oh, I don't know.
Oh, how?
Oh, no more near my life, and a lot of light, no one of light, white, white, white sun, white town.
Right on, right on, right on, right on, right on, right.
I want you right on.
Oh, how are you?
I'm really happy.
I'm really happy.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, oh, ha ha, ha, ah, oh, how?
Oh, how?
You know,
Hey, you guys.
These New Year's resolutions, they're killing me.
When it comes to eating better and consuming less sugar, I mean, let's be honest.
Most healthy snacks don't taste very good.
They don't fill you up and they certainly don't satisfy your cravings.
I'm raising my hand pretty hard right now because.
this is me anyway this episode is sponsored by monk pack m unk pack and they make snacks that taste
like your favorite sugary treats but with one gram of the sugar or less monk pack keto granola bars
for example contain just one gram of sugar two grams of net carbs and they're only 140 calories
there's a thing to get you off in the morning right get out there get you going well
They're really great for anyone who's trying to follow that keto lifestyle, but also the perfect
snack for anyone who's trying to eat better or cut back on sugar and carbs without sacrificing
the taste. I'm trying to eat better, and these are helping me. So they're really, really
great. Also, the monk pack keto granola bars have a soft and chewy texture that come in delicious
flavors like coconut, cocoa chip, maple, pecan, and peanut butter. You know, I like the peanut
butter.
Anyway, they're great for a quick breakfast, snack between Zoom calls or late night treat,
whatever you need.
And by the way, in addition to being keto-friendly, the bars are also gluten-free, grain-free,
plant-based, and non-GMO with no soy, trans fats, or sugar alcohols or artificial colors,
which is great.
Those sugar alcohols will get you, man.
Trust me on this one.
And they taste incredible.
You know it.
I know it.
And you can't beat the low sugar nutrition or taste they provide.

Open the door, they grabbed me, took me or slammed me against the side of my pickup truck.
I sit myself, they broke my glasses.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, so I know what it's like to be black.
No more stubble trouble now.
You got earbuds in my wiener.
You got wiener in my earbuds.
This is the morning stream.
Back to the program, everybody.
We're back.
I'm going to sit up here.
They slam me against the car, shit myself.
They slam me against the car, pushed me around, shit myself.
And then they started yelling at me, shit myself.
And then...
So I know what it's like to be black.
What is wrong with that guy?
What is wrong with that guy?
You don't want to know what hat he was wearing at the time he said this about it.
Oh, no.
I can guess.
You know, you probably could.
You probably easily guess.
All right.
Let's bring the Internet's own Tom Merritt, Ace Detect on here.
We're going to talk about some tech.
It's CES week, all that stuff.
We've got to play this first.
The Internet of Tom.
With the computer as with any tool.
The concept and direction must come from the man.
That's right.
The legitimate IoT.
The Internet of Tom.
That's right.
I like that.
Yeah, it's not bad.
But you're highly secure and not hackable.
So no one's going to say that.
What are you talking about?
Now I vote on the floodgates.
Oh, no.
That's like a challenge.
What are you crazy?
A little bit, a little bit.
I shouldn't have done that.
But hey, guess what?
There's lots of distraction because we're finally getting this weird form of CES this week.
Yes, yes, yes.
Let's direct our day.
Hey, it's going to be 85 degrees in L.A. tomorrow.
Oh, my gosh.
What the frick.
That's, that's warm for you then.
It's, yeah, it's even warm for L.A. in January.
Getting up into the 70.
is not unheard of, but going back up
into the 80s. And then it's going to get cold and rainy the
week after that. It's crazy weather. How's traffic
on the 9s? How's that looking?
Oh, yeah. Traffic on the 405 is a little slow,
not as bad as it was pre-pandemic, but we're
looking at it clear all the way down to the Venice Boulevard
Exxon.
I love how easily you slide
into that role. It's so good.
Well, it's good to have you here. Tom and Merritt joins us on
Wednesdays. We talk about tech in the morning,
and then we do it again later on the Daily Tech
News Show, which I'll be a part of today.
And, of course, this week is all about
cover in CES and what they are showing.
What is, I guess, hot off that plate today.
What's happening?
Yeah, you know, there's so much.
Like, you know, there's not like, here's the thing at CES.
You know, if you wanted the overall trends, what I'm seeing so far is a lot of rollable screens.
TCL, LG.
LG keeps leaking out.
Like, first they just showed their rollable phone that they have.
had showed it last CES, but they gave it a name, LG Rollable, which seemed obvious, but
you know, they officially announced it. Then somebody told the Verge, like, oh, yeah, we're
going to ship that phone this year. Don't you worry. And then somebody told another outlet,
like, we're going to ship it early this year. I'm like, why didn't you would say this in
your keynote? But anyway, there's a lot of rollable screens, a lot of AKTVs. TCL's got an AKTV
that you might actually be able to afford what you'll show on it. I got nothing for you. There's
hardly any 8K content out there yet, but if you just want to have it early, that's something
that will be in reach of more pocketbooks. A lot of robots, a lot of health stuff, a lot of
internet of things, sort of stuff. But yeah, it's interesting because from the outside, it doesn't
seem that different newswise. From the inside, it's weird, not to be out there looking at the
products walking around. So do you, so these rollable phones, I've kind of
I think a fundamental question
about them. When I first heard
the term rollable phone, what I pictured my head
was, you know, rolling it
into a cylinder type
thing. And I know there's some displays that
have, you know,
TVs in fact that have some of that
flexibility. But in this LG
phone case, you're talking about
foldable in a different
way, right? Like it's more like a...
Yeah, rollable is different than foldable.
Right. It kind of like, it has to
be foldable to be a rollable, but
not all foldables or rollables, right?
Right. All men are Socrates, et cetera, et cetera.
What it allows you to do is unscroll the screen, right?
So you can expand it because it rolls up into a compartment inside of the phone or the device itself.
Right.
Right. So the LG one's kind of cool looking because it just kind of magically looks like it expands the screen because it's unrolling and the video adapts as it rolls.
TCL was showing off one
that you could carry like a scroll
in your pocket and then
they were saying this might be useful if you're hiking
you just grab it and unroll it
and suddenly you got a 17 inch screen
but it's not taken up the space
that a 17 inch screen would and if you
you stuck a tablet in your backpack. Sure.
So I just showed the chat and I put it in our Discord as well
there's a there's a GIF of this phone
doing its thing and it's pretty rad
like that that I mean I can't I don't have it in my hand so I can't really say how this feels it's hard to see where those little hinges go or where the little you know where it's actually sucking sort of into itself it's hard to see where that's happening and stuff but that that is that's a futurey cool looking thing to me okay that's yeah and that's not what I was visualizing more what you're talking about like a like a scroll that you pull apart yeah right yeah and that's not it the other one has that's what the TCL prototype looked like yeah this is a lot more like those TVs
we saw a year or two back that were it just looked like a sound bar on your thing that would then
raise up a screen right and the scrolling was happening out of view in that same thing in that
LG phone the scrolling is happening inside the device you don't see it to you it just looks like
the screen magically gets bigger yeah and and by the way LG sells that that that TV you're
talking about for $30,000 oh that laying around oh well it's nothing I thought I thought that thing was
way more expensive. I'm just going to go
out right now and plunk down 30 grand. Let me go
dig through the cushions on my couch. I think I got
that. We usually got a couple of
$10,000 bills stuck in there somewhere, right?
That's a lot.
Okay, so now I'm suddenly thinking
I have to be honest, up till this
point, folding and scrolling and all this
talk with phones, just
sort of landed flat on me. I'm like, yeah, that's
as gimmicky as any other thing that didn't
work out. It's not going to work out. It's not practical.
It's cool from a gadget perspective
the one time, but it's not going to be
mass market thing. I'm not so convinced now. That's so cool. I could see a future where phones just
did this and you basically went from a phone to a tablet without unfolding it or without having to have
two things connected or we have some work to do before we get there. But this does start to feel
like something that would benefit you. Whereas the foldable, it's more of a matter of taste. Like,
oh, I like the idea that it folds up into a nice compact thing I can drop in my purse. Right. Like that
that's not something for everybody.
Whereas, oh, my phone can become a seven-inch tablet when I want to read a book, you know, or watch a video,
but the rest of the time it's compact and like a regular phone.
That's cool.
Now, LG says they're going to put it out this year, given the price of the rollable TV, which granted is a much bigger screen,
I imagine it's going to be pretty pricey.
But this is how we get to more affordable versions.
And as we've seen with the foldables, the prices of, you know, they haven't gotten affordable,
but they've come down from that original Samsung Galaxy fold that was ridiculous.
Right.
Here's what I see.
This is going to be a problem.
For whatever reason, my brain always goes here.
If somebody's using this phone, they're looking down at it and like, oh, I need to scroll this up.
We're done for now.
But I'm also eating a sandwich.
And accidentally out of your mouth comes a big blop of mayo.
And it lands right on that corner just as the scroll is happening.
And it takes it underneath.
And now you're like, oh, no, there's mayo inside under the phone.
It's there now.
What am I going to do?
Like, I can't help but think of these practical things.
That is, that is a very real scenario, right?
My guess is that most of the time, the gap between the screen and the bezel as it rolls will be tight enough that it would not allow too much in there.
Yeah, it'll just squeege you the mail right now.
I was thinking scull was going in the place.
Like, what if, what if something triggers it, well, it's in my pocket and somebody says, is that an expanding phone in your?
or are you just glad to see me?
Yeah, and the answer is both.
Yeah, the answer, why not both?
Why can't it be both?
Why not both?
I am glad to see you.
This is fascinating.
I'm excited to see what today brings.
I guess you have a special guest on today as well, right?
Yeah, Richard Gunther, somebody, it's been really fun this week to have some of the folks who normally are at CES and we have on the show because it's like, oh, it's easy for you to be on the show because you're here are also still on the show.
Peter Wells from Australia
Usually he takes the advantage
To be in the same time zone
With us to be there
But he got up early in the morning
To be on the CES show
Because he kind of missed
Being on the CES show
Richard Gunther's another one of those people
He usually stops by
And tries to be on the show
At CES he's going to be on with us
He covers smart homes and food tech
And all kinds of cool stuff
Like that
So it'll be Richard, me, Sarah Lane,
Scott Johnson, Roger Chang
It's not the last day of CES
But this Wednesday is usually
The last day of the big enough
Tomorrow we sort of, you know, kind of find if there was anything else that we missed, it gives us a chance to look at that.
Yeah, things tend to peak right around the Wednesday, which is true.
And it was a big physical event as well.
Yesterday was all chip announcements, Intel, AMD, Nvidia.
Like, if you're like, what were the big chip announcements?
Listen to yesterday's DTNS.
We got it all covered.
Very nice.
So do that again today, 2.30 Mountain Time.
So make sure you check that out.
Tom, anything else going on?
You want to mention?
I do want to mention that I had a lovely dog walk today.
Ray was really, really responsive and not as aggressive on leash and she's really making progress.
That's fantastic. I'm happy to hear that. Follow that. I guess I should be like promoting something like my writer, Patreon or something.
Well, look, look, go to Tom Merritt.com. You'll find all that stuff anyway. And then you'll also find links to like social channels where maybe you can see the progress with the dog too. Okay.
Yeah, exactly. Tom Merritt, everybody.
Ace Detect on Twitter. We'll see you soon. Bye now.
All right.
Well, now, we've come to the point in the show where we add a girl.
We're adding a girl in here.
We're adding a woman, Scott.
A lady.
She and her is joining us.
Her name is Nicole Spag.
It's a me.
It's a you.
And you've got this music.
Where is it?
My sweet nickel
Paul, welcome back to the show.
We missed you last week.
How's the homeschooling going?
How's it going?
Oh, God.
I want to just say, get right.
I'm a lady.
She's a lady.
Oh, oh, whoa, she's a lady.
Oh, I'm doing all right.
Mark's been, I don't know if you've been following Mark on his Instagram, but he's like a man possessed with his new gaming.
Oh, his new.
rig yeah i saw that he's doing yeah i saw his little area over there uh it looks like he's got
you and him kind of in the same little slot over there and you see you guys can get together
he's building two new desks yeah which he will have on the channel the wood whisper channel it's
it's actually really cool that's so cool he's uh he's all of our heroes honestly he's a
hero among men um but yeah so people are saying that uh she's frozen on the screen
i mean i'm noticing her moving she is but her face is perfect i don't want this to end hold
oh really hold on like let me see a picture of it before you get rid of it yeah you need to see it
brian because it's amazing uh hold on i'm gonna copy this out my own self because this is
oh there we go oh i've got looking at it right now i don't know and i'm scared you should be that's the
best expression
your camera decided to freeze
right up for you. That's really good.
Awesome. I got the show it to me. Hey, did you get
your presence? Yes.
I'm going to say, can we open that now?
I opened, I already did.
Because I'm, I can't. Oh, are you
jerk? I know. I forgot. I forgot. We said
we were doing it on the show. So I'm going to
pretend. I did, I could have lied to you and just rewrapped
it. I didn't want to do that. I know. I've
wrapped it on purpose. I know. So you
can do it on the show. And after you opened
it. Two levels of not
listening to me. I opened it up and Kim goes, oh, why? That's so nice. They wrapped it and everything.
Was this just a, was this sent around Christmas? It just got here? And I said, oh, no, I think I was
supposed to. And then it hit me. Then it landed on me. I'm supposed to open this while she's here.
So I'm a big dummy. You can see right here, the seal still, uh, maintained here on my box.
Yeah. Because I pay attention. Yeah. Brian's a good friend.
So Brian, actually, you have the better of the two presents.
Ha ha ha ha
Suck it, Johnson
So, Sky, don't
Don't give away what I gave you
Because it's all movie related
So
I definitely won't give it away
But I love it
Go ahead and open yours, Brian
Yeah, open it up
Why?
I don't know why I've waited this long anyway
Yeah
So I ordered these before Christmas
I got them after Christmas
And then of course they sent them to you
So it just everything took a lot longer
Than expect it
Well, that is the way of
Exactly
Go knife.
2020, 2021 shipping and or, you know, just this stuff.
It's hard.
It's harder.
Do you have, Scott, do you have yours nearby?
I do kind of.
Hold on.
You guys talk to each other.
I'll be right back.
It's like just a box of buttered popper.
Oh, crap.
I sent out the wrong box.
All right.
Beautiful wrapping.
Look at this.
I'm getting to open a Christmas present in January.
This is so nice.
Hey, it's very 2021, apparently.
Yes.
All right.
This is so nice.
of you.
Very cool.
Have you seen this game?
I've played this game because we actually have.
Oh, you haven't.
I thought it was so, I was like, I've never even heard.
Okay, so people are listening are like, what the hell are they talking about?
So I sent, I found the, the shining board game.
I've been really obsessed with shopgoodwill.com lately.
This is so new for it to have gotten played and taken to goodwill is kind of sad, actually, because it's really good.
What is it?
What is it?
What did you get?
It is the shining board game, which here's the funny thing, too.
I'm actually, and I can't really show them on screen, but I'm wearing my shining socks right now, which are this exact pattern.
Oh, no way.
Really?
This sucks.
Right now?
Oh, my God.
Sorry.
I wish I could...
Hold on while you yell at my kids.
Okay.
Go for it.
We'll wait for her to come back, but...
I'll take a picture of my socks and text it to you so you can see.
I can't wait.
I've got...
It looks like Brian's taking a wiener shot.
It does.
It totally does.
So, Nicole, can I show mine now what I got here?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I already opened it, obviously, I already told the story, but...
And yours was sealed.
Your's brand, brand new.
Oh, what is that?
Yeah, mine's got plastic on it.
Shindley.
Mine is gently used.
Mine is the Jim Henson's Labyrinth, the board game.
And it's got all these, it's so funny.
I was just watching Jennifer Connolly in that, the train thing.
Snowpiercer.
Oh, I want to see that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, the new season, I think, started back up.
Oh, it did it?
And it's on HBO.
Oh, I watched the first.
Oh, even better, yeah.
I watched the first two episodes, and I really like it so far.
I know, I can see my socks, Nicole.
I just texted you a picture of my feet.
But look at David Bowie on there.
Send feet pictures, bro.
Yeah, send me nude.
Look at that.
That's awesome.
This is all wrapped.
Like, it's like in its plastic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yours is never been open.
So here's the thing I found out about both of these games.
Okay.
So the Shining game got good reviews.
Yeah.
The Labyrinth game, not so much.
It's more of a novelty game.
Okay.
Because at the end of, like, so if you say,
it down and play that game, Scott.
The person,
the character,
what's her name?
Jennifer Collins' character?
Yeah. Sarah. Sarah.
You have a very specific
description of what fair
is. And she has
in order to win the game,
she has to get
to the Goblin King, and
you have to memorize her poem.
Oh, really? Oh, really?
The poem in the game.
her line from her uh yeah yeah so it's a very and you need four people to play that game it's got
cool mini figs yes and that honestly that's really the only reason for what i understand i love so what
i'll do nicole is um as soon as the denver tadpool group is able to meet up again one of the first
things we want to do is a an escape room and i will give this game to the winners of the
escape room. Oh, there you go. That sounds fun. The winning team, because I think we'll probably
break up into two or three teams, you know, the size of the Denver tadpool. So your game will
go to a good home. It's, and I love it. Thank you so much. It's a good game. Yeah. Did you guys,
did you guys get a chance to play it? No, I'm not going to play your game. I've never even
heard of it. Well, it's open. Or maybe just give it back to me, you know. I could just give it back to
you. Yeah. Well, when you guys, when you do the tadpool thing, she'll be there. So you all do it
together. You don't have the dark crystal game, do you? I don't have the dark crystal game. I don't
dark crystal game.
Maybe we can exchange.
I'll give you the dark crystal game for that.
Is that such a thing?
I didn't know there was a,
is there a game for everything?
Seems like there's a game for everything now.
It really does.
You won't want the kids to look at some of these cards because they are creaking.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
The thing that creeps me most out about that movie is the dog man.
Like the dog man.
You know the dog man in, so in the movie, the shining, you get a very,
Like, quick clip of a guy dressed in a dog costume.
Right.
The fetish dog fetish.
Yes.
And then if you read the book, you get a little, you get more, you get more backstory.
But there's probably even more weird backstory to it.
And it just is a very unsettling character.
Yeah.
That movie's full of extras that bug me, that gross me out for sure.
Yeah.
So there you go.
Merry Christmas.
Happy birthday.
Thanks, man.
I love it.
This is awesome.
So I'm going to, I'm going to,
take those mini figs out and stare at them.
There you go. There you go. Thank you very much. This is very nice of you.
You're welcome. You're welcome.
This is the night I took the night that this movie came out, I took my girlfriend to see it.
And after we went to Chi-Chi's and I drank a, I think I've told the story.
This was the night of the Virgin Virgin Daccarine. I barfed it all over the house.
It was great. A hell of a night. Anyway, hey, let's get to recommendals.
where we talk about stuff that's streaming.
Now, we have a tradition, a longstanding one here on the show, where Brian begins.
So we'll keep with that.
Brian, do you have a description or anything you want to say?
This is a movie.
Just came out on streaming, but it was released earlier this year.
It was supposed to go to theaters, but then became a premium VOD purchasable thing.
And now it is on streaming on the service that you probably have.
A little setup for the clip.
The people in this clip are talking about tattoos.
Okay, here we go.
You better not have picked my movie.
Oh, no.
It's got tattoos in it?
Oh.
I think you did.
All right, let's find out.
So, Scott did this.
Hang out.
Is it a Cocker Spaniel?
No, no, that's my daughter.
That's Claire.
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I thought those were ears.
It's okay.
I know.
I hear that.
Scott got his first tattoo when he was 16.
It was of Kermit the frog.
Oh.
That's kind of cute.
Yeah, yeah.
Kermit smoking a joint.
Kermit smoking a joint?
I sent you my phone.
I don't remember that episode on Sesame Street.
Yeah, it's Bill Barr.
That's kind of funny.
He's a funny.
Yeah?
So funny.
Do you think he's going to stick it out?
Well, that I don't know.
I mean, I sent him to art school, but he quit.
He couldn't really focus because he also has ADD.
So he, anyway, he's a tattoo artist with ADD.
All right, that's got to be that.
Staten Island deal.
That's exactly what it is.
Sorry Nicole.
It's all right.
I sent you my clip, which is a better tattoo clip.
Oh, it's a better clip, is it?
Okay.
Is it when he's talking to the guy in the tattoo parlor?
No, no, no, no, no.
It's when Bill Barr's character actually meets Marissa Tomey after her son,
who is played by Pete Davidson, tattoos his nine-year-old.
Oh, the first meeting of the two of them.
There were so many F-bombs.
I couldn't.
No, this clip actually bleeps them, bleeps out the passwords.
Yeah, so I was like, oh, that's a good one.
I like that.
I like that. Nicole and I both refer to Bill Burr as Bill Barr.
I like that.
I know.
Bill Barr.
Former Attorney General Bill Barr.
Exactly.
All right, I'm going to play it.
I'll play her clip and then we'll talk about it.
Yeah, let's hear them both.
All right, here you go.
I think.
Okay.
Yeah, hello.
My name's Raymond Bishop.
This is my son, Harold.
Say hello, Harold.
I'm sorry.
What's going on?
Well, it seems your son was down in the woods, giving out free tattoos, and my son was one of his victims.
I don't understand. How do you know it was my son? How'd you get this a dress?
I have my waist. Believe me, I have my wice.
Are you a cop? No, I'm a fireman. Okay? I work for a living. Look at this. Do you believe this? You see that there? See that line?
I don't know if you burn these off or what? But we're taking care of this, and you're paying for it. You understand me? I don't know what this is.
Oh. Yeah. I'm so sorry. I, I, I, there's an aesthetic laser at the hospital where I work, and it can completely.
completely remove it.
I get a discount.
I'm going to pay for the whole thing.
I don't know what I'm saying.
I feel terrible.
You should feel terrible.
Look at that.
What's that?
Oh,
I'm sorry.
Hey, I said he was 18.
It looks like he's for,
you fucking moron.
Sorry.
So it's good then.
I've been dying to know how this is.
It's so good.
I loved it.
I love S&L.
I love pretty much anything
that comes out of S&L
and Pete Davidson.
is on S&L.
And you can just tell that he,
there's something troubled about him.
I didn't realize.
He's all messed up,
did you dive into his past on this movie?
He's got all kinds of issues.
Not on this movie,
but I know he's had like issues with depression and suicide and.
Yeah.
So this movie is really kind of a life story of his.
Yeah,
it feels semi autobiographical.
Yes, it's very.
So there's like a behind the scene.
Judd Apatow directed this.
And his, so Pete Davidson's father actually was a firefighter and did die in 9-11.
And the whole spectacle that happened to Pete after that, they show him like getting a medal from the president.
And he was like, it was so weird.
And like, just him trying to deal with the trauma.
of losing his father at such a young age.
Yeah.
And this movie is almost, I think, like a therapy session for him
and trying to talk about that time.
It was, um, it was amazing.
I thought it was just a really good.
He wrote it?
But they didn't focus on 9-11 on the movie.
No, it's not even mentioned like they didn't want to overshadow, um,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Brian, your thoughts, what'd you think of this, uh, I really, really enjoyed it.
Um, the acting is, uh, is fantastic.
Bill Bill Burr is great.
Marissa Tomey is great.
You get a nice little, even bigger than a cameo by Steve Bishemi, who's another fireman.
Judd Epitow is the director and his daughter appears as the sister, as Pete Davidson's sister in this.
It's heavy, but not as heavy as you might expect it is going into it, knowing what you know about it.
Yeah.
It was funny.
And it was heartbreak.
Isn't that his whole thing?
He's like, that's Pete Davidson's entire thing.
He's like funny but tragic, right?
Funny and tragic, dark.
Yeah, he's the sad clown.
Yeah.
It's on HBO Max and like I think it just landed there like a few days ago.
So it's relatively new.
That's why I thought it was safe.
That's why I thought it was safe.
Maybe we need to slightly coordinate because there were other things that I was thinking about recommending.
but no it's it's definitely worth checking out nice
well very good now here's the thing uh Scott had uh Scott's wife and I
why am I saying myself in third person me and Kim started watching based on
recommendals from you guys different things and in particular Brian's recommendal of the
great oh yeah which we are nearly done with and really really enjoyed and enjoying I should
It's right there in the title. It's great. It's fantastic.
Pour one out for freaking Nicholas Holt, who is just an ass.
Oh, he's such an ass, but, yeah, but there's something charming about his ass holiness.
Yeah, can't quite put my finger on what it is about him. But, you know, of course, famously Nucks, an amazing character from the Mad Max Fury Road from five years ago. He may know him from that. Anyway, it's really good. So we spent a bunch of time doing that. And by the end of the week, I had nothing new to recommend, except,
that I watched a bunch of that stuff
and then I watched a ton of this
because I got weird.
Here it is.
The guy with the Viking show.
I put Looney Tunes on repeat.
I watched the Viking helmet and the fish on the gong show. I watched so much of it
Because it's on, like, all of them are like remastered and on HBO Max.
Everything, all of it.
Like the oldest stuff in the 30s, all the way up to the late 50s and everything in
between all the great masters like Chuck Jones and all those guys.
Like an amazing collection, if you're a Looney Tunes fan.
And I'm telling you, having that stuff playing in the background, it's like being a kid
again and sitting on the couch with my freaking stupid pajamas and my big bowl of fruit loops
And do you have the boomerang app?
No, I do not have the boomerang.
I love the boomerang app.
You don't have to have a subscription, but if you do, it unlocks a lot more of the older cartoons.
But they have playlists where they'll, you know, for the time of year, they'll do like a Saturday morning playlist.
And it's like Scooby-Doo and Looney Tunes.
And it's awesome.
That sounds great.
I love that.
Yeah.
Oh, the boomerang app is really fun.
I should get it.
Some of the older, more problematic Looney Tunes are still there.
Like if you're, do they still have the ones with the Nazis and the Japanese guy and the, it's all in there.
They didn't, they didn't take those out or sanitize them at all.
They have some new stuff they produced where they quit using certain references and guns and stuff.
But then, but otherwise they're pretty true to the originals.
But all the original stuff is there.
And I like that.
Didn't George Lucas or Steven Spielberg go in and replace the guns with walkie-talkies?
something in those. Yeah, it was in E.T. wasn't it?
Spielberg and E.T.
In this particular case, they didn't
go edit anything. They just, the new
stuff they're making now has. Do they put
any kind of disclaimer before it? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, there's like that. Okay. Because that's
what they do with the Disney, uh, old Mickey Mouse
cartoons that Ava and I watch. Yeah, that's the way to do it.
Because then you've, you, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't,
but it's letter of Molton or whatever his name is
Malton, Malton. The show you're about to see is a slice of
history. Like, okay, okay, okay,
letter i get it it's old yeah i like the written one better because the written one you just
read it yes uh yeah they do that maybe this will finally let us see song of the south yeah maybe
maybe i'm a big believer in like let it be i'm a big believer and let it be what it was
and be honest about it and also say yeah this some of this stuff's a little you know it's of its time
and should be you know you should at least know that going in and like that's how i'd prefer it i don't
want to hide this stuff. So all the Looney Tunes, are they all on HBO Max or just like?
All of them. Everything. All of them. Everything. Oh, it's so great. And it's all weird as obscure ones.
I forgot about this one where, not if you guys remember this. There's these two pigeons, I think they are.
That's a wife and a husband. And they're very 1950s sort of, huh, honey, I'm home for Mark.
She's all, yeah, hey, whatever. And they find an egg. And the egg, they, they, it's been abandoned.
So they take it home and they hatch it. And it's a giant.
buzzard, baby.
I do remember this one.
And then the dad has to try to teach the buzzard how to be a good pigeon or whatever.
And it's so dumb.
But I love it.
I love that stuff.
Did you watch heckle and Jekyll?
Oh, yeah, all the time.
Oh, heckle.
I loved heckle and Jekyll.
That stuff was great.
All of it's great.
It holds up.
The stuff in the 40s in particular, or really just the whole, anything with Chuck Jones,
like all the Roadrunner stuff that he directed, they're so freaking good.
So I just did that.
I didn't have anything else new.
I did start a new documentary, but I'm not far enough to recommend it.
Other than that, and Brian's recommendal, I just had no time for anything new.
So I'm going to recommend a bunch of cartoons, damn it.
Nothing wrong with that at all.
We started watching something that I knew we were going to be the only ones to watch called Rook on Amazon Prime.
It's a movie that's kind of crime, heist, Pulp Fiction.
Do you remember there was a movie a while back called A Simple Plan with...
Oh.
Bill Paxton, Bobby or
That's a Sam Ramey movie, isn't it?
It is a Sam Ramey movie, yeah.
Good movie.
It is Billy Bob Thornton in there as well, I think.
Anyway, it's like that, except with a little bit more humor in it.
But the acting was so bad, we're like, oh, I can't, I can't recommend it.
But the whole thing was shot in Cripple Creek and Victor, Colorado, which is where Tina
I went several months ago to this weird Tesla hotel.
and we wanted to see this movie because it was filmed there, and it's gorgeous.
It's gorgeously shot, but the acting is so uneven that it was hard for me to recommend it.
It's called Rook.
If you want to watch the first like 10 minutes of it, you'll see some beautiful scenery of Cripple Creek in Victor, Colorado.
Come on, Cripple Creek.
Wow, this is, I've never heard of these people, Zach Rush, Sarah, Johan.
It feels like a, not a student film, but it feels like a first film.
And I think the story is great.
The, you know, the cinematography is great.
There's just a couple actors in there that's like, oh, yeah.
This is maybe a first and only role for this person.
That's unfortunate.
All right.
Well, sort of a tepid, check it out if you want a kind of thing.
I love a good heist movie, so I'm always into those, but it sounds like this one may not be great.
You know, it's probably still worth watching, and for the cinematography, it's gorgeous.
It is like, oh, this is Colorado and the, in the mountains, kind of the summer.
I was actually looking at a place in Cripple Creek.
Where you really?
When we were in lockdown, I'm like, maybe I can get a cabin.
It doesn't go somewhere.
And we were looking at Cripple Creek.
So we never did it.
Cripple Creek's a great name.
It really is.
It is a gambling town.
And it is, you know, like Central City and Blackhawk and stuff like that.
So, but if you go to Victor, which is outside of Cripple Creek, you can probably get a really nice Airbnb or VRB or something that.
Is Cripple Creek like historic?
Like there's some old West business.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's and you see all like, it's actually still the highest producing gold mining place in the United States.
So it's weird.
So is that song that I, is the song that I just sang based off of the town?
I believe so, yeah, the song by the band?
I think it is, yeah.
Why don't they change it to disabled Creek?
What's going on?
Let's get back.
Come on now.
That's a really good point, yeah.
Well, all right then.
There you have it.
Nicole, any other, any additional things you'd like to recommend since Brian stole your movie?
I'm still watching Schitt's Creek.
And that's honestly all I've been watching.
And I was like, no, I am going to.
I purposely sat down to watch that movie because I'm like,
I can't recommend Schitt's Creek again.
So what's all the creek?
That's right.
So still watching Schitt's Creek.
Still love it.
Love it even more.
Like, it's so good.
It's just, I just love the show.
How far are you in there?
How many seasons?
I'm, I think I'm towards the end.
All right.
The Simply the best song.
That was a great cover, the Tina Turner.
Oh, yeah, that was season, well, season before the last season.
So five, six, four, four, four, yeah.
Yeah, I think it was season four.
Yeah, I loved it.
I love it.
I love it, love it.
It's really good.
Apparently, this is not based on Cripple Creek, by the way.
Sorry, I just, I just don't take some of emails, yeah, but back to Schitt's Creek.
All right.
I just want to save off some emails.
Let's stop that email.
Let's go from one creek to the other creek.
All right.
Well, good luck finding something this week, everybody, and not.
I'm sure I will.
Duping each other.
But Brian, did you finish the show, I recommend it.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
How to with John Wilson on HBO Max.
I think I talked about on TMS earlier this week.
Oh, did you?
Did you?
It is excellent.
And aside from some very hilarious and awkwardly long, awkwardly,
I don't want to use the word long.
Awkwardly.
Just uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable male nudity.
And another glowing review for Parasite, I might add.
Anyway, the dude with the device.
No, it's really, really good.
Yeah, the give yourself foreskin back device.
Oh, yes.
Oh, I forgot about that.
I fast forward through that.
Did you really?
Oh, no.
It was so funny.
Oh, my God.
The best part is him laying on the bed using this device.
and uh yes that's when i fast forward it john ask him says uh so i've seen anything good lately
and the guy says oh i like parasite oh yeah i i fast forward through that bit and i fast forward
it through the guy in the first episode yeah who would um he was trying to catfish uh petapops
oh really the i just oh it's good it just i was uncomfortable
So I was just like, it's a very uncomfortable show, but it's a very good show.
It's really good.
Yeah.
It's in my cue.
We're going to watch it.
So another recommendation for how to with John Wilson.
There you go.
If you want to follow the stuff that we recommended today and we do every Wednesday,
follow Nicole at Nicole Spag on Twitter.
She posts that up.
I retweet it on our account and everyone has no excuse.
You go watch these things and enjoy yourselves.
Nicole, have a fantastic week.
Bye.
Good luck.
Bye. Your camera's broken still. Okay.
That's an amazing shot of her, though.
It is really funny. Yes. And then the shot of Rissa Tomei with a play button on her nose is kind of good too.
Pretty good. Yeah. Pretty good.
All right, Brian. We've come to the point of the show where we are basically done.
Now, here's the thing. If we're done, then I have to say a few words, which are these.
Yes. Okay. Support us at patreon.com slash TMS. Yes.
Yes, that's right, a place where you can go and throw a couple of bucks at your favorite podcasters and say,
thanks for all the great entertainment you get 16 times a month, for very little money, because we're dumb.
So go do it. Check it out. That's patreon.com slash TMS. For everything else, it's frogpants.com slash TMS.
And please email us, if you have any thoughts, feelings, complaints, whatever, the morning stream at gmail.com.
All right, we're done. We're done. We need a song, though, Scott.
I agree. I didn't bring any. So you're going to have to come.
cover this part. Okay. I'll cover it well.
See what we did? That's fantastic.
A. Racer 951.1.Y. A.k. Alex Ford.
I love that his last name is a kind of car.
I wrote in and said, this one's more a request for show 2050 than a specific date.
He did the calculations, but had New Year's and Christmas Eve and stuff in there.
So it kind of messed things up. So I repositioned it to be on this episode because this is episode
2015. He says since the year 2050 is the year
global warming is too far gone if at current trends
if it continues at current trends I thought 2050 would be a fitting show
for a cover of REMs it's the end of the world as we know it
or if the cover master desires another good apocalypse song
signed Racer 951W. No I'm going with what you requested
because I think it's a it's a funny connection to episode 2050
funny, sad, funny, but funny.
Yeah, people, come on, get your, go fix your emissions right now.
Yeah, what are you doing?
It's the end of the world, as we know it.
So last year, we had a great cover of this that was released by Pomplammeuse
featuring sisters Doty and Maddie Pop,
and they get together with Natalie Don and split the vocal duties between the three of them,
and it's just such a cool, a cool new addition to the Pomplamplemoo sound.
Again, this is a downloadable from their website.
I think if you become a patron of theirs, you get a bunch of music as well.
But here's pompomous with It's the End of the World as we know it.
And is probably appropriate.
I'll play this for this listener as well.
And the co-profit of these end times.
End times.
Thank you for joining us, everybody.
We'll be back tomorrow with a new show.
We'll see you then.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
