M.S. D. M.S.S.S. D. This is the morning stream. Hello, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It is TMS for Wednesday, January 20th, 2021. Nothing going on today. Nothing big. No, no. Small day. Just another day in the U.S.A. Yeah. People just kind of doing their stuff. I mean, we are. We're doing a show. You know what stuff. Exactly. Wednesdays. We're doing a show. Today's a crazy day for me. We have the inauguration. We have this show. After this, I got to prep for it and then be. on a career day conference call with a bunch of

sixth graders back east I got invited to talk about content creation on the internet so that'll be fun and then after that I got Tom Merritt stuff and then I got

bonus Tom Merritt stuff and then tonight I got last minute moving Nick stuff around stuff going on because he moves tomorrow oh my God

uh huh he's in the car and on his on the road and so I know Brian I know it's all it's freaking me out the whole thing's freaking me out yeah little little heartstrings getting tugged huh a little bit except you know like what better time i've said this before but it's the best time in the world to send somebody off like this because we're we're more

connected than we've ever been if you did this when i was 20 right you just wouldn't hear from me for a year and a half like right exactly i just be gone because there nobody wants to pay long distance phone bills like we used to do nobody wants to do any of that letters maybe like some kind of freaking an old time little house on the prairie time. I'll type it on my selectrics. Exactly. And I'm not doing that.

I don't want to do that. But in this case, he doesn't have to worry about any of that. We're going to know where his car is the entire time because he's given us his GPS data so we can make sure he's okay. That's awesome. Where the world is Nick Johnson.

That's right. And when he gets there, you know, he'll be able to video chat with us any time he wants. Yeah, exactly. It's just a, we live in a, it's a magical period. It's easy to get bogged down to the negatives, but I'm telling you, if you're ever going to send your, you're now grown kid somewhere and you're all stressed about it, it isn't

that bad. Like, I can call Patrick right now and wake him up and it costs me nothing. He lives in France. I'm sorry, Helsinki, Finland. He lives there. Right. I just call and go, hey Patrick, what is this? I am sleeping, but he's not his accent.

He'd be all mad. He'd be like, get out of bed. And, you know, this is really, really early. And I'd say, I don't care. It's free. Get up. Anyway. So the, the, uh, the, the, the, the thing's going on.

We got the inauguration. All the people are showing up. And we're doing a show, uh, regardless. So. Right. We hope that those who have chosen. We both have it on silently on the side. Yep.

I have it playing back here just to see. There's no, you know, yeah. I'm in no rush to, I'm in rush to know how this ends. I know how it ends. Yeah. And really the only part of this that. I'm that I look forward to is the speech is uh as just you know I want words of inspiration and um I know it's you know it's it's here's me telling you what you want to hear kind of

stuff but uh by golly I don't care I want to hear sometimes you want to hear but you want to hear sometimes I just want to hear what I want to hear so I'll stream that later and it's absolutely fine let me ask you this yeah I just saw Mike Pence who I think graciously came I think it's actually cool that he did. Do you think the fly was invited, or? The fly is somewhere. It's passing through security right now. Okay.

Making sure that it doesn't, it's not carrying any metal. It's a lot of work. You got to pass that stuff. If I were that fly, I just like live in my pince's pocket whenever I'm not on his head. Yeah, be like his familiar. Sleep and curled up in his pocket. It's my wee familiar. Anyway, so that's going.

animal. We're going to go ahead and not why, you know, we're not going to care too much about it. As my point, we're just going to move on with our show and just like we should move on with our country and do good things and try our best. Hey, thing about having your kid here before he

moves. Yeah. Is that sometimes this happens. So there was pizza, okay? I wasn't involved in the procurement and or ingestion of said pizza, but there was like a just a cheese pizza that the kids ordered because they were like, we're hungry.

Okay, great. Go ahead and get your pizza. So last night after doing some stuff in the studio, I go upstairs. No one's in there, and here's what I see in the living room. There's a small television playing SpongeBob with no one watching it. There are

two of the dogs who are in kennels whining going, and one dog, because right now, until Nick leaves and takes his dog, we'll have back down to two, but right now we have three dogs. And the third dog, his dog, is sitting on the couch, inches away from unbeknownst to the dog somehow,

I don't know if her nose is broken or whatever, a giant half-eaten, and I mean like half a pizza left, box open of a cheese pizza just laying there by this dog. Oh my gosh. And my first thought was like, whew, you didn't eat it. Okay, we dodged that

bullet. Because if had she eaten it, she'd be puking all night. It's too much cheese. It would have been bad. Second thought is how bad is that pizza that even the dog doesn't want to eat it. Right. Well, it is dominoes, so that tells you something, I guess.

Domino's pretty bad. These cardboard is really good. But I was so annoyed. I was like, my gosh, you just can't leave a pizza open at the next to your dog over here. And so part of me is like, I want to go marching in there and chew Nick out. And then the other part of me is like, oh, he leaves tomorrow. I probably can't. Yeah.

You don't want your last evening with him in the house to be that. And let him have, you know, he can have all the open pizzas in his apartment he wants. Exactly. chances are it won't be the first open pizza that it is responsible for left open yeah but boy that dog better get better at uh at stealing said pizza infected mind says it's not delivery it's dog jorno nice nice you know i like a bad pun well done good job yes anyway just don't leave open pizzas around your dogs is what i'm saying and and we dodged that bullet of those other two dogs that have been out if Ripley, the giant Weimariner, monster freaking gorilla

beast had been out? There would have been no, not even the box left. Nope. And this morning, I'd be cleaning up six pounds of barf. I know it. I just know it. So let us all learn from my hideous experience. Who orders just a plain cheese pizza? Come on.

Probably Carter, because she doesn't want meat. Oh. Well, yeah, but there are vegetables. I know that's what I say. Put some like peppers and stuff on there. Also, did you notice mod pizzas prices went up what happened there really i did not notice i haven't had a mod pizza um geez since maybe october well they're got okay so their prices were like 750 right and then you get whatever you want they're like 10 50 now really oh they really went up they went up and i don't think that they were suffering they had they got a lot of business during the the thing because they

did they started doing deliveries around here delivery curbside yeah they were they were always busy We never had, it was always a wait to get anything. Like, I know they've been crazy busy, but maybe it just wasn't worth it. I don't know. I don't know. That's surprising. Yeah. So anyway, I just know that going in that you're going to be prepared, Brian.

Yeah. You're going to pay movie ticket prices for your pieces. Yeah, no kidding. Oh, yeah, their website doesn't show. I think I have to log in and place in order to be able to see. I wonder if it's different in different areas. I don't know. It might be.

Oh, I'm seeing a doctor. a doctor Jill Biden walking down some stairs and she's with some old man some old man that must be her dad oh yeah what that's sweet though isn't her dad escorting her down there that's cute that's adorable

oh I'm sorry that's the president oh man funny everybody just looks alike with these masks on see isn't it fun to just make fun the old way yeah you know what I'm saying this is the old way where where there were an actual

where the joke, there are no lives at stake. There are no horrible things happening. There are no, no, whatever. Like these jokes, with these jokes, you laugh and you move on. Those jokes actually seem to mask a larger problem that never went away. Well said. Said it better than I could. Well, anyway, it looks like they're about getting ready.

We're going to ignore that now and tell you about this. Badger in our community, Badger Williams. You can call them Michael if you want, his real names. I'd rather call him Badger. I like Badger Williams. That's a cool name. Yeah. Sounds like I have a, why is there a red dot on me, Badger?

He says, because Skinny Pete's holding the gun. It's not bad. This is the whole John Hughes thing. Yeah, cool. People keep bringing it up, and I'm happy to share some of their thoughts. So he says, John Hughes and the millennia, I think he means millennials, but he spells at M-A-L-L-L-I-N-I-E-A. which is right we know what he means yeah he uh i don't know if um if english is his first language

it may not be because he apologizes at the very end for for spelling and grammar yeah so we're we're going to read this as i'm going to try to insert where there's maybe a goof i'm going to try to fix it and hopefully i haven't insulted him if english is his first language oh it is all right sorry sorry that only works if it's actually not their first language language otherwise oh boy all right says this uh his subject is john hughes in the millennial and gen x iconic movies he says hello uh scott um a millennial here to talk about the iconic movies of the teen times i can't the teen times it was a great newsletter he used to subscribe to it i think yeah their ads are horrible oh they're terrible it's all it's all uh

active x or what is that stuff the the zit cream whatever that stuff is pure active For us, it was, oh, not proactive. Oxy10 for us, but what's the one that, like, Justin Timberlake was advertising? Claricil, no? No, something, um, pureactive? Yeah, proactive. Proactive. Proactive. Proactive. It is proactive, yeah. Oh, okay, that makes sense.

No E at the end, yeah. Because, like, pro, and it's also would be a, it's a proactive way of getting rid of your, your Zit holes. Well, you put the Zit, but you don't do it until you have a Zit. So, really, you should be putting that stuff on beforehand. That's a good point. It says here I can't speak to the current teens They don't listen

But when I was a junior in high school We had such movies as American Pie And not another teen movie As in parodies of teen movies And this might Because the market was so gladded with John Hughes And the pendulum swung back to comedy Or as he wrote Comadi

All right now I know I can't help it I can't help it If you keep this up I'm going to bring up every misspelling that you put in our show notes at the beginning. I can't help it. Some of which I clean up. But my God, if I have to see how you spell jambalaya one more time, I swear.

I'll never get jambalaya right. It's for eating, not smelling, or spelling. Eating, not spelling. Anyway, it says, but, but, da, da, da, da, but now I am writing this email to, I am reminded of a movie like mall rats. and anything Kevin Smith did in those times. Rant time over, or no, rant time, sorry, you have to read this part. So there's what he says. Oh, he says we don't have to read this part.

Oh, he says we don't, but I'm going to because I think it's interesting. He's going to anyway, because it is good, yes. He says, with these examples, you can really see how we millennials are the disaffected generation. This is interesting. I remember when we get feedback on this, because do millennials feel disaffected? Do they feel set apart? Like, what's their deal? Anyway, he says, we were told that we just don't care enough.

and when it's time for us to take our place as leadership, everyone is shocked when we don't have it in us to do it. This example coupled with the older generation refusing to step aside, out of the way, old man, they say. I added that part. The situation of being berated for not taking our place by the very people that won't get out of the way and who can, I'm not sure that word.

Oh, conditioned it to not care, to not care is very frustrating. um i don't know where this rant is going uh but i believe i will thank you for if i really believe this oh if i really believe this but thank you for rea sorry it's hard to read badger is now one of my favorite emailers of all time i want more from badger it's pretty good um makes a point though like what do you think about that whole you think i'm not a millennial so i can't speak to it i don't know right no and and what's funny is i felt like the characters in john hugh movies were were disaffected because, like, the Breakfast Club characters didn't care about authority, right? They disregarded principal, John Benner, vice principal, or not John Bender, but, no, not Dean Vernon.

I'm, like, getting all my movies mixed up here. What's his name? Jack Vernon? Jack Vernon. Werner? Jack Vernon. Whatever it is. Whatever is.

But they disregarded him. The parents are always kind of idiots. You can Ferris Bueller's parents. It's amazing that they actually have jobs. Yeah, no kidding. They can't figure out that their son is a mannequin with a pulley system and a snoring audio track. But, you know, so that disaffectedness, you know,

stemmed back even before. And to be honest, I don't feel like American Pie was a parody of a teen movie as much as it was the attempt at a teen movie of another generation. It seemed like it was just trying to, it was sort of like, hey, what if your generation had like Porky's style, raunchy comedy? What if we gave you that again? That's what I felt like to me. It kind of was, right. So instead of having John Bender underneath Muller Ringwald's desk doing who knows what, we've got Allison Hannigan doing who knows what with a flute.

Yeah, I don't, I agree with you. We know what because she pretty much told us what. That's true. Dice Tomato disagrees says it's parody. I would not say it's parody. Omage, maybe, but not parody. American Pie plays it pretty straight. They're not,

I wouldn't say parody. Not another teen movie, definitely a parody. But I wonder if we see it as parodies, or Dice to Meal sees it as parodies, because of the nostalgia of the John Hughes films, and this one feeling like, oh yeah,

this is a, you know, this is a new teen movie kind of, um, uh, playing off of that, uh, that John Hughes style.

But here's the problem that I see with all of this is that, We're talking about a thing that doesn't seem to be any different every generation. And what I mean by that is when people came home from World War II, their kids felt disaffected and pushed off because their dads wouldn't talk about the war. Generation X, which we fall into, we were called the lost generation. And everyone thought all we'd do is wander around freaking Lollapalooza tours and just stare at the ground. Like, they didn't think we were going to do anything.

So to me, this is the tale as old as time. and we just keep getting trapped in it and it doesn't actually matter. Like at the end of the day, there will be a whole new generation of leadership of, you know, people in business and life and everything else that will be nothing but millennials. And then there'll be Gen Zs after that.

And then and they won't be as deadheaded and lame as everyone thinks they are or that they've been telling themselves they are. I think it's just all cyclical every time. Everyone just does the same damn thing. Yeah. it's fine it's fine yeah it's totally fine but but i'll still stand behind the fact that our our movies were the best movies yeah that's i mean that's not in question we know what we know the truth that's right okay now we can does it it's funny that you know when klobuchar uh talks by the way she just

got done talking um somebody commented a while klobuchar appears like a Pokemon character but she does Like, if you put her haircut on a Bulbussar's face, I think, I think that Bulbussar would kind of look like, just a face. I'm not saying anything about body type or shape or anything like that. I'm saying that she's got kind of a Pokemon face. Brian is saying that Senator Clobuchar. I'm saying the Navy Clovisar looks like a Pokemon. All right, I'm saying it. Former presidential candidate.

A bulbosaur with a nice haircut. Looks like a Pokemon. Well done. I don't know who this dude is now. Who's that dude? That's Roy Blunt. Oh, Roy Blunt. Roy Blunt.

I like, he's, uh, I call him Roy Pot sometimes because, you know, wait, who's Roy. Why don't I know who Roy Blunt is? What does he do? What's his deal? He is, uh, uh, uh, D.J, uh, White House DJ. Um, um, oh, I, Brian. What's that, was that, was that Brian Dunaway?

It's Dunaway. He's in here. He's a senator of Missouri. Oh, Missouri. Missouri, Missouri. Okay, got it. Missouri. Missouri.

Missouri. Missouri. Here we go. Brian Dunaway joins us for Babel Royale. Brian, welcome. How are you? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Oh, hi, Brian Dunaway. The, uh, are you, are you, uh, are you, uh, are you, uh, are you, are you,

am I glued? Yes, I'm glued. Are you like me? But don't tell anybody. Yeah. Normally I don't watch these at all, no matter what, just because, what are you watching? I don't like pomp or circumstance. The freaking inauguration.

Yeah. You know that's happening. You know that thing that we do every four to eight years where they swap out? Watch democracy happen. Yeah. Watch it happen in real time with Roy Blunt. So wait. So are you telling me that you met that last year you missed

Nickelback performing at the last inauguration? You didn't see that, Scott? Did that really happen to avoid? You're making that up. Are you making that? up. Did they really play it at the last time? Yeah, I thought Nickelback played at Trump's inauguration. Shut up. I thought it was third eye blind. Who was it? I can't.

Was it third eye blind? Are you telling me? Are you seriously saying that? Because that is crazy. If that's true. Nickelback. Nickel back. Now that's in your search history forever. You're welcome. Look at this photograph is proof that we were here four years ago.

You find it? Photograph. let's see back or form inauguration inauguration smash mouth

oh it says somebody once told me snopes not com says it was always false there was an alleged is it three doors down three doors down that's what I was thinking of yes yeah

and somebody it was a fake tweet Donald Trump in 20 that's right that's what it was It was that somebody made a video of what song, was it, how you remind me or something, and they timed it so it looked like Trump was singing along to it at the graduation. Oh. Because he was dancing, his little hand, little fist dance. You got deep faked, man.

That's what happened. I got deep faked. Well, no, it was really just that I didn't remember. Like, I remembered it based on that. But three doors down did perform it. Wow. All right. Well, now we're one door up.

Hey, we got to have a listener on the line. Let's find out who this is and see what game we're playing. Hi, thanks for holding. Who's this? I did it, Brian. It's Talia. Oh, my God. Oh, good job. Somehow, somehow, some way, despite all of our firewalls, she's back in. That's right. Welcome to the show.

Oh, you'll tell what I mean in a few minutes. Oh, okay. Interesting. We'll find out then. Hey, welcome to the show. You know how this works, but I don't actually know what Brian's playing today. So Brian will hand it to you. How is this working today? That's right, Scott. Welcome to What's Your Nerd? I've interviewed a member of the Tadpool and asked them nine questions in a subject in which they consider themselves a nerdy expert.

Scott and Brian will take turns predicting whether or not our guest will get those questions correct. If they predict correctly, they receive a point. First player to five points wins the game. Talia, your job is to choose which of our two hosts will more accurately predict our guest's knowledge in their category. If you're correct, you win our prize package, which includes. the carryover prizes from last week, which I forgot to use Monday, Trouberbrook and Driftland,

the Magic Revival. Oh. On Steam. I don't know anything about those games, but Trouberbrook has two dots over the U, which means it has to be good. Yeah. Or German.

It has to be German. Or German. Yeah. Well, it could be both. Yeah. Why not? Good things come out of Germany all the time. That's right.

So if you're ready, let's meet our special guest and find out what's their nerd. All right. Welcome to What's Your Nerd, Talia James, aka Talley Zorrell, from the chairroom. It's good to have you on here. This is cheating. Thank you for having me. We talked, and you told me a few of the pop culture things that you are interested in.

Talia, tell me what's your nerd? Well, I'll be there for you, Brian, with friends. I'm clapping. Oh, it's mandatory. It's the law. Exactly. It's totally true. Yes, Friends is what you told.

me is your nerd, your specialty. So, because, you know, I like to throw, not throw a wrench into things, but make you stay on your toes. We're going to, I'm going to ask you specific questions about Ross and Rachel, the, one of the couples at the very center of the show, Friends. How many times would you say you've watched it all the way through? Oh, God. I love hearing that.

I love hearing that it's that big a number that it gets that kind of response well it's and i and i it's never like all the way through it's always piecemeal she's i have favorite episodes and yep yeah the one with the embryos um uh god i'd say maybe collectively three times all the way through all right good but yeah but then also piecemeal here and there yeah piecemeal uh yeah okay all right well let's go ahead and get started and let's see how you do now here's what's funny is there's really no advantage that Talia has over how you guys are going to do because she knows how she answered the questions, but she doesn't know how you guys are going to predict that she

answered questions. The only difference is the added pressure of the individual being here while we do it. That's right, exactly. Tully don't know nothing. Also, on a side note, it's really fun while I'm talking to drink coffee. Oh, yeah, no. It's like you're throwing your voice. You're like a ventriloquist.

Exactly. Charlie McCarthy here. I like it. All right. So, Talia, how do you think Scott and Brian are going to do with their predictions of your knowledge of friends? I'll say that Donaway believes in me. You're done away. He believes in you? Yeah, I do. Of course I believe in you.

Well, he believes in you. It seems like he's going to be the guy then. So let's give it a shot. I'll tell you what, though. not that this helps us determine anything, but I have seen friends all the way through at least five times. Not because I always want to do

to be there for it. It's not my favorite show in the world. But I'll watch it. You want to be there for it. And that's actually kind of amazing because if I remember correctly, you didn't watch friends back in the day. Not as much.

Yeah, I wasn't as into it back in the day. You liked it more on its second go-round kind of thing. I'm not even sure I liked it more. I just saw it more. And when it hit that... Did you see it before? Netflix? Yes, but only maybe two-thirds of it. And then

Netflix came and then it was like, okay, well, now my kids love this, my wife loves this, they're going to binge it all the time. I may as well just sort of be in the room all the time. So there's a lot. I don't know if I'm going to know like the most Ross and Rachel stuff because my least favorite thing about the show is the relationship stuff. I hate that. What I really like, what I really like is that you guys can guess as well and it won't matter

whether you guys get it right or not, but at least you can guess as well and see how you would do. Okay. Hey, you know, Friends was a show made by boomers about Gen Xers. Yeah, that's what I was saying. The thing I didn't like about it at the time was this was supposed to be us. And it didn't feel like us because my job would never pay for that apartment at the time. Right. We have watched the enemy and they are us.

Tali, you also get to choose who goes first. It's kind of just an honorary title because it goes back and forth. But who'd you like to go first? Dunaway will start too Dunaway will start too All right Dunaway I asked Talia

The following question We first meet Ross and Rachel In the pilot episode Where Rachel has just left What poor schmuck at the altar Oh easy She'll get this for sure Okay

All right He was a dentist That's all I remember I think he was a dentist Scott do you remember his name Yes I think then say it

can I say it say it well it's not important for me to know right it's right well if you don't want to say right right you don't have to say why don't you just tell me the name of the poor schmuck at the altar I just remember the guy's

guy was kind of short and weird yeah short and schmermy I don't remember his name name let's hear if Talia remembers his name oh that would be Barry Barry good job his last name changes several times

Farber is what I have here, but yeah, it was different things during the run of the show. Yeah, at one point, Rachel, when spoilers, Mindy becomes engaged at Barry, she says, I'm going to be Mrs. Dr. Barry Weston Height. I can't remember the exact name, but it was absolutely not Farber. I can tell you that. That's funny. All right. So Talia knew was Barry, and so Brian gets a point. We go over to Scott. Okay. I ask Talio, what song does Ross dedicate to Rachel on a radio show?

Did she know the answer to what song Ross tried to dedicate to her on a radio show? Oh, geez. I don't remember that, but it's also kind of obscure. I'm going to say, no. She doesn't know. Does Frankie stay relax? That was the shirt. All right, let's see.

He was a fan. See how she did. Well, he tries to dedicate it to her. Uh-huh. Uh, well, their song is with or without you. That's what I'm looking for. Damn it. Nice.

She got it. Way to go, darling. So far. But that's all right, Scott. stays with you. All right. Uh, I asked Talia, Ross and Rachel struggle to put their daughter Emma to sleep,

only to discover what song. that serves as the perfect lullaby. Oh, these were the bad years. Right, the baby years on friends? Yeah,

those were bad. What lullaby? The actual lullaby? Yeah. Yeah. Did she know the answer to this? It wasn't what song that works as a lullaby.

It's not, it's not a matter. Like, yeah. I'm going to say, not typically a lullaby. I'm surprised by the last one. I'll say she knows. She knows those.

Okay. It was Sir Mix-A-Lot. It was. The baby got back. Geez, you know a lot about friends. Yes, the Pygomaniac's anthem by the great poet Sir Mix-A-Lot. Baby Got Back. Nailed it.

Absolutely right. All right. Point for Scott. She knew it. Very good. It's still two to one in Brian's favor. So, Scott, you get this one. Who does Ross call a crap weasel?

I mean, these are all relationship questions, right? I mean, it's all about Ross and Rachel. Ross and Rachel, yes. A crap weasel. Yeah. I'm going to say she knows that. All right. Let's hear how she did.

Palo. That's absolutely right. Howlo is correct. Palo, you speak no English, right? Lito.

while they were on a break we're on a break who does ross sleep with who does he sleep with who does he who does he who does ross sleep with when they were on a break yeah did talia know who absolutely tahlia knew this one this was a very pivotal moment in the show absolutely all right let's hear how she did uh the copy shop girl i'm going to give it to you uh i have copy shop girl or chloe if you uh have a real name i was it wasn't coming to me so i was going to see if you would take copy shop girl first constantly called it the copy shop girl so yes copy shop girl or chloe very good brian's got three scott's got two this one goes to scott in the one where no one is ready

Ross offers to drink what substance in order to convince Rachel to attend Scott, you remember this one, he hates gross things Yeah, what gross got out the most I hate gross things That's a weird thing I'm going to say she probably knows that too Can I say the answer?

Sure, yeah It's the fat Glass of fat Yeah, glass of fat. Let's see if, let's see if Talia knows this one. Well, as Joey offers it to him, glass of fat. Glass of fat. Good.

I think she may legit be a friend's expert. She knows everything so. I think so, yeah. Friendspert. All right, back over to Scott for this one. No, no, this is back to Brian. Scott got that one right. Yeah, I'm ahead now.

In Ross's sex fantasy, Rachel is dressed as Princess Leia. But what does Rosses? wear in Rachel's fantasy. Oh. I'm having trouble remembering that one myself. I'm going to still say she knew it. Okay. Let's hear how she did.

Oh, my God. Yeah, because Ross was dressed, oh, God, in a uniform. Be more specific? Navy. I want to say pilots uniform, but. Oh, so close. Navy uniform. That's a shame.

Scott takes, it continues to lead. And they reuse that uniform for Charlie Sheen's character, right, when Phoebe had the itchies? I don't remember being on there. Was he on there? Yeah. Charlie Sheen? Wasn't that right? Charlie Sheen?

I don't know. Him and Phoebe got together. That I don't know. Listen, I didn't watch as much as you guys, apparently. I'm saying yes, but I don't know. All right. This one is for Brian. Scott's in the lead, four to three.

Phoebe triumphantly proclaims Ross to be Rachel's lobster in what episode? In what episode? The one about. Is she going to need a name? Yeah, she needs to name the episode, the actual episode title. Okay. You don't have to come up with the answer, Brian. You just have to tell me whether or not you think that.

Holly, you get to it. Yeah, what are you waiting for? Oh, I'm sorry. I was waiting on Scott. I thought you were talking to Scott. And so I said, oh, let's be Scott's turn. This is the longest Brian's stall ever. I totally, I'm totally blank dogs.

I'm like, who's talking to Scott? I don't even care. I don't even care. Oh, say, ask the question again. I apologize. Yes, that's all right. All right. I asked Talia, Phoebe triumphantly proclaims Ross to be Rachel's Lobster in what episode.

And I'm looking for the title. Okay. Yeah, I don't know the title, but it's the one with the lobster. but I don't know but she knew it she knew it for sure right see how she did the one with the prom video

very good and fun fact that was actually the wedding announcement for my sister and her husband and my now brother-in-law

really it's like they like they're her they're lobsters and that's kind of their whole thing is that they're their lobsters very cool all right wow we have a tie game

four points each which means that This one is the deciding one, right? So basically, whoever gets this one right wins. Who turn is it so I can listen this time? It is Scott's turn, but why don't you listen? Why don't you listen anyway, just in case for her? Yeah, you may want to listen either way.

All right, I asked Talia, when Ross finds out that Rachel frequently re-gifts things, she proves her appreciation with items that she's saved in a keepsake box. Among these items is what item? There's a lot of words, items. Among these items is what items saved from when Ross first made her breakfast in bed. That made me laugh so much, but I don't think it's that item. I don't know. Did Talia know what the item was?

I don't know, but I think I'm learning she knows most of these, so I'm going to say yes, she knows. It was an eggshell, right? But she also kept a dinosaur bone. He's like, you're really not supposed to take these from the museum? That's right. Oh, I remember that. From the museum, exactly. All right, let's hear how she did.

Oh, this is it. It's the deciding, the deciding factor. Oh, she has the ticket stub. She has the boner. I think it was an arrowhead. She took from the museum. Boner. God, well, I don't know what I'll just go.

I want to say eggshell for some reason. I can say eggshell because that's exactly right. There we go. Scott wins with five points. Wow. Look at me. Oh, you know what that means. It means this.

It means Talley it loses, but that's okay because Boyd is good for the world once in a while to underestimate me. Don't worry, everyone. There'll be more chances in the future. Tali, how do you feel about your incredible loss here? How do you feel? I feel good because everyone believed in me. Yeah. Yes.

Oh, we did. I was surprised. If I was ever going to ask anybody any info about friends, I know who I'm calling. Well done. And thank you for participating on two ends of this candle that we're burning. today. Brian Dunaway, you did great. Now, the important thing is to remember, we did a boop show last night that was great. We talked about two fantastic games, plus a bunch of extra stuff. So if people are interested in the world of indies and cool game experiences and want to talk

to a couple old friends about them, well, there's no better place than the warm cuddling hut known as the boob show. I don't know what that means. Cuddling hut. I don't know what the cuddling hut is. I made that up. But go look for it wherever we get your podcasts, and you'll enjoy it and catch it live every Tuesday at 3.30 p.m. Mountain Time. Brian Dunaway, have a great week. No, you. We'll see it later. Bye. Okay. He goes away now. Very good. J-Lo currently singing, this land is our land. Oh, is that J-Lo we got there? That's J-Lo. You think she'll talk about her, I guess. No matter how big your inauguration goes. There's always room for J-Lo. sure but wasn't there some big controversy with her and uh army hammer or something what was the deal going uh well i know army hammer was the cannibalism situation was she involved with that was she like

cannibalism what was she sous chef no not that now now you're making me wondering about the cannibalism but hold on have you not heard about the whole like cannibalism the rumors about army hammer no is that true yeah i mean The rumor, it's true that there's a rumor about it, that ex-girlfriends are talking, like he, his most recent ex-girlfriend said that at one point he said, I'd like to break off one of your ribs, barbecue it, and eat it. Oh, geez. Okay. Well, then I, he's handsome and terrible at the same time. Maybe it's good that the Lone Ranger did so poorly in theaters. He got kicked off slash booted off this movie with her called Shotgun Wedding, some rom-com they were making.

Okay, probably because of this, right? Well, no, it was because of some dirty DMs he was sending somebody. It says here... Were they dirty DMs about barbecue? Army Hammer's life is fueled by alcohol, BDSM, and infidelity, it says. Oh, nice. He responds to alleged DMs after he exit the Jennifer... They give all three of those two when you check in at the Tropicana in Las Vegas.

It says, here it is. It had to do with alleged messages from his Instagram account that were leaked the past week, It appears to show Army messaging women in very graphic and explicit sexual terms. Oh, and also discussing cannibalism. Bing! There we go. There we go. You're right.

That is what they're talking about. I'll take cannibalism for 100 points, Alex. I didn't hear anything about that. I'd read all this before and I didn't see anything about eating people. Armies, we have the meats. Wow. It's a good thing he doesn't have a twin brother like they pretended in the Solzion Network. He did and he ate them.

Yeah. Also, if you were in that horrible Lone Ranger movie, you'd turn to cannibalism as well. That was a bad movie. Yeah, that was a bad movie. Really effing, bad. Okay. Did we watch that for film sack or did it just happen to be on when I had no ability to turn off the TV? Yeah, we never filmed sacked.

However, I saw it one year at Nerdtacular, somebody came in early. Now, I don't remember who. Someone came in early and to kill time the night before Nerdtacular we went and saw it that year. and it was so bad. It was so bad. That was the day I knew. I went, yeah, this is Johnny Depp. You're done now.

And you were so looking forward to it, right? Because, I mean, number one, you liked Army Hammer, but you also, it's a Western. Yeah, I like that stuff. I even like the old ones, like the old cheesy cereals and stuff. They're fun. I had a lot of high hopes, and it was the director of Rango, and the first, well, he did all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. But I had hopes. It seemed like maybe he could do it.

No, it's real bad. It's really, really bad. All right, Brian, we've got a quick bit of news here. We're going to do real fast. This is the info we've been waiting for. And part of today's news involves us saying that it's brought to you by. It's brought to you by America's next top podcaster. See what I did there.

So it just depends how much you want. If you want more, go to patreon.com, sign up for America's Next Top Podcaster and look for more stuff on that soon. Nice. Very, very nice.

Let's do a couple of quick stories here. Oscar Meyer, you know the Wiener people? I do know the Wiener people. Yeah, well, the Wiener people are hiring hot doggers to drive their Wiener Mobile. God, I would love to do this. I bet you don't actually get to drive the Wiener Mobile, though, because That thing is, you've got to have skills, right? I mean, it's like driving a school bus.

You can't just say, I'd like to drive a school bus and then somebody hands you the school bus. You have to get licensed to drive a school bus. Or like an 18 wheeler or something. You can't just get behind that and do it. You probably get to sit in the passenger seat, maybe you navigate or something. But I don't know, maybe the news will tell us more. Here's what's going or here's what they're doing. They asked this question in the article,

have you been looking for something that will stand out on your resume? Or as they say in the Europe. in Europe, your CV, your CV, yeah. Are you the kind of person who wants to work your buns off while meeting hot dog fans from across the country, meeting? Two puns in one sentence, what? Yeah, maybe you just dreamed of driving a weird car. Well, maybe your lucky day, because Oscar Meyer is looking to hire a new crew of hotdogers

to drive the Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile. The Chicago-based company is looking for recent college graduates. They don't want no dropouts. They got to have some graduates there to take on. on the one-year paid job criss-crossing the country in the iconic 27-foot-long hot dog-shaped vehicle. Gig will last from June 2021 through June 2022 following a two-week training session. So there's your answer to that. Oh, maybe okay.

So you do get trained. Oscar Meyer hot doggers will represent the company of various events and media appearances, charity functions, and other stuff. This will be Oscar Meyer's 34th class of hot doggers. Jeez. That's all news to me. The 34th class. No, I would love, I would, I'll just say it, I would relish this opportunity. Oh my gosh, dude.

Pun intended. I can't believe they didn't use that joke. I know. Well, you know, they're just trying to catch up. Once again, we write better articles than the ones we read. And you mustard apply soon because it's, it's, the application deadline is closing. Wait, there's got to be one more. Get your buns down here and sign up.

There you go. You didn't even catch. I did one. I said, they're just trying to catch up. You missed that one. Oh, I did miss the catch-up. Yeah, see, see? Stealthy like a fart.

There's so many. It's like a fart in church. Well-done. Well-concealed. Hmm. Oh, it looks like it's official. We have a new president now. Yep.

It's official. Wait, what about the plan? Where am I? Who are you people doing in my front yard? What about the Q? What happened to the Q plan? I thought there was a plan. Are we moving the goalposts again?

Gosh, dang it. Well, the problem was that it was that camping guy that predicted that there was something that was going to happen today. And, yeah, we're just going to have to get somebody else to predict. What about that My Pillow guy? Do you got anything to say? My pillow is filled with human hair. Earth is flat. That's right.

All right. Final story, because that's all the time we have. We got a dog owner. Speaking of dogs, I got dog problems today. So here's a dog owner. spent 300 bucks to treat his dog's limping. Dog had a limp. He took it in, cost 300 bucks to fix.

He later found out there was nothing wrong with the dog. It was simply imitating him out of sympathy. Come on. This feels like, this feels like bloating. So here's what it says. Dogs and humans have a special connection, says this article. After all, they are called man's best friend. Many dogs have specialized training to help the ill and injured

and even non-trained dogs seem to sense whenever their owners are unhappy. Well, that's a broad statement. Yeah. However, one particular dog's sympathy for his owner resulted in a big financial hiccup for his dad. A man spent upwards of 300. Big financial hiccup. It's 300 bucks. I mean, you know.

Yeah. It's a fair point. He was, he got the dog checked. They were checking on his dog. As it turns out, the dog wasn't injured, but was pretending to limp and sympathy for his owner who had a fractured leg. Many animals are known to mimic human behavior, parrots. Repeat our speech. Monkeys are trained to repeat actions.

This sounds like a lot of tide comes in. Tide comes goes out. How do you explain that? Just a tough. To me. How many words do you need my essay to be? Okay. Yeah, I could do that.

Yeah. Let's see. X-rays and rounds of examination by doctors. They determined that there was no physical injury to be found anywhere on the dog. So their only explanation at this point is 300 bucks later or 300 pounds in this case. There was nothing wrong with the dog. He just felt bad for the owner. according to Sky News, Australia.

So that's Australian dollars, right? Right, yes. What do they use? It's just Australian dollars. Australian dollars. Yeah, it's called Australian dollars. Okay. It's a dollar sign AUS.

They should call them Oz Bucks. Or, uh. Ozzy, Ozzie, Buxies. Bucksies. Bucksies. It'll cost you a bail 11 bucksies. So, uh, you want the meat pie too? That's going to add another two bucksies.

This reminds me. I have a relative, not. one of my relatives, but someone related to my wife, I will not use names, but they live in Mississippi, and they currently believe there's, that no, there are no other currencies in the world but the U.S. dollar. And why they hold to that, I don't know, but if you said to them, hey, did you know that in Europe, they use euros for the European Union, they'd say, they wouldn't believe you. If you said it's pounds in the UK, they wouldn't believe you.

If you said it was Dong in Vietnam, they wouldn't believe you. I'm like, they just don't believe people. And I don't, I cannot wrap my head around why that's a sticking point for them. Yeah, no kidding. That's really weird. To deny other people internationally have their own currencies is a really weird hill to fight on. That's a weird thing. Yeah, that's really crazy.

Kind of crazy. I do like that Blitzybub or Bilsybub 13 says it's dollarie-doos. Dollary-dews. That's the best, that's the best currency. Australian currency description, I think we can find. Yeah. New Canadians with your tunis and your loonies and your holes in your money and your weird plastic dollar things. It's awesome.

Keep it up up there. By the way, oh, look at that. Sorry, they just showed all those flags. That's pretty impressive. Oh, did they? I missed it. So I forgot they did that. They put out a flag for all the people that would have been there, given not the COVID time stuff.

Yeah. And it's just a huge, that giant field, right? the national mall stuff and uh that's just a trip to see nothing but flags there it's crazy so um i'm trying so jim carey said he's not doing uh performing joe biden anymore no they gotta get someone else you know who i really liked was um uh witty harrelson i thought he made a hilarious joe biden oh i never saw that really played up the uh really played up the teeth but uh yeah and i thought it was calumuni that was taking over i could have sworn the moon he played him in one thing since the um uh in one thing since carry left but no it is

Alex Moffat is going to be their new Joe Biden all right well I'm I'm Alex Moffat who usually plays Eric Trump oh really yeah must also be good with his teeth then he's also good with his teeth yeah where are those guys today what are they doing is that snort and cocaine off each other the the two Trump boys what do you think they're up there they were they were um the Trump's sons were about half of the people who showed up for Trump's farewell address at the... They were half the people. Half the audience at Trump's farewell address at the Air Force Base. I could say some things, but I won't.

Before he heads down to the independent country of Mar-a-Lago. Yep. The beautiful new banana republic known as. That's going to do it for our news today. Let's take a break. from the news. We're going to meet with Tom Merritt and he's going to talk about tech and other things here on this day of celebration. When that happens, you'll know it. But before that, we got to play this song. Brian, you brought one? I did. Scott. Blanket Man. What's his power? Oh,

he's always remembered to bring one. That's, I don't know if you get to bring a blanket. Well, we'll say that. Sure. Blanket Man is also a band. I'm trying to see where they're from. I thought I had that in here, and I don't. Colm. Manchester. Oh, not Coles. Manchester. This is a four-piece, Adam Hooper, Adam Hopper, I'm sorry, Jeremy, Taralvo, Godoy, Eli, Rose Elliott, and Daniel Hand,

make up the band Blanket Man. They've got a brand new EP coming out called National Trust, which comes out March 19th, but I want you to hear something sooner, because I like you. Here's something sooner from Blanket Man's National Trust EP. It's called. leave the south. Do you think they ever say, what's your hit single?

What's the first single they're going to play in the radio? And one of the bandmates says, talk to the hand. I have no idea. Talk to the hand. Talk to the hand. Do you think that ever happens? Had to have happened once.

Come on now. That would seem like something an Oasis brother would do. Talk to the hand. Talk to the hand. Do you. All right. Here's that song.

We'll be back in a moment. I don't like the taste of the water in the city I don't like what it needs in my mouth And yet it may be true that by the water it was pretty But I gotta try get out of the south And maybe it's about time I took a train I don't think that missed me anyway Can't find a good reason to stay

I used to have quite a lot of pretty good friends And that's a pity but none have really tried to reach out And yes, it was true But at times I was shitty But not enough, it cut me right out And maybe it's about time I took a train

I told me can miss me anyway I can't find a good reason to stay I know the north could be quite great It's too expensive down there anyway Leave us out Leave us out Leave us out Leave us out

Leave us out Leave us out Leave us out Leave us out Leave us out leave the sound these new year's sound

I don't like being.

The Morning With Scott and Brian And a caveman And we're back We're not implying that Tom Merits a caveman by any stream No, gosh, no No, we wouldn't do that. Why would we do that? We're not that kind of person, people.

There, couple, co-host group, whatever we call ourselves. Hey, let's play this right here before he comes in here. With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. That man who's taking time out of his morning, as he does every Wednesday, to talk about the technology stories of the day, is Tom Merritt from the Daily Tech News show. If you haven't heard of it, you should, because go listen. It's amazing. Tom, welcome back to the show.

Well, thanks for having me back, Scott and Brian. Well, it's good to have you back. The pleasure is ours, as my dad would say. It's good to have you here. And, you know, it's right in the middle of this inauguration business. Oh, is that? Is that right? Yeah.

Technically, I hadn't heard every single person on Twitter expressing their opinion on it. Yeah. It's been quite the, it took over Twitter. So was there an election then? There was, yeah. So that's what has to happen. Yeah, there was a free and fair. one actually.

Who's the outgoing was, did we have a different what? Yeah, we had a different time. So it changes then. Yeah, changes. Yeah, changes. So let's, let's, let's, I just look at tech news.

Nothing else. Oh, good. Well, then you probably found something today that you're going to talk about later on the daily tech news show. What's, what is happening in tech? Yeah, we got some interesting stuff. Netflix is announced they're going to do a shuffle button. Oh.

For you? If you just don't know. They joked about calling it. the I'm feeling lucky button, but it will be based on your preferences. So it will pull from stuff it either thinks you might like or is on your list and you haven't watched yet. But if you get to that point of paralysis where you're like, I don't know what to watch. You can press that button. They're still, I think, trying to determine what they want to call it.

They're testing a few different ways, but you can press that and it'll just start playing something for you. If you immediately don't like what they choose, you can press it again. and it picks up else. Yeah. So this is this, I don't know, I shouldn't say it's in response to, but I did notice that there's a lot of this sort of stuff happening on other services. In particular, Peacock has channels, which it's not quite the same as this. It's not like, hey.

No, no, that's more like Pluto or Zumo where it has a grid where you can watch, you know, great shows from, I don't know, places like Rotten Tomatoes, where they have an excellent video department that chooses amazing stuff. Yeah, no bias. One of the channels, though, is kind of like a, like it's all office, but it's going to randomly choose scenes from the office. Yeah, right. It's clips. They have an SNL one like that too.

Similar, but yeah. If anyone doesn't get the joke, my wife runs the video. She's doing a great job, by the way. Really good stuff. I think so, too. But I like the one thing missing from the streaming ecosphere, I think, has been this old idea of just flip on the TV and whatever's on is on. and you're sort of watching it and you're cooking and you're,

you know, like that old, old idea of what TV was. Everybody's still complaining about that, but nobody's really fixed it. Yeah. Other than, other than like you say,

like the peacock grid or Zumo or Pluto. And those are taken off. At least Pluto and Zuma are taken off. They've got millions of viewers. But this is a little bit like halfway, like I don't want you to just put something on. You know, I don't want to turn on Netflix

and it's playing something. I want to press up. I want to choose that. I want to choose that experience. And then you can just start playing something for it. Right. And that's cool. Although,

what if it chooses? I mean, obviously it's going to mess me up because I never did do a separate film sack login for my Netflix. So my Netflix viewing activity is kind of a mess. Because on the one hand, just for me, I'm watching something.

Do you do thumbs up and thumbs down, though? Sometimes, but rarely. Okay. So that'll help a little. bit, but, you know, they won't have a ton of data to go on there either, huh? Yeah, so I guess what they're going to do is say, all right, over here we got killer clowns from outer space, and over here

we got the Queen's Gambit. We have the crown. Yeah, we don't know where to put this person in our little, in our algorithm. It will actually tell you why it's picking the thing, too. From what I understand, one of the reviews I read said that it started playing the Crown and said,

because you like Queen's Gambit, we're playing the Crown. Oh, okay. I'm going to play this because you liked Gone in 60 seconds. You even paused at some points and re-watched little sections. Because you liked killer clowns for better, sir. Yeah. Well, that's the

worry, right? Is that I'll get nothing but Nicholas Cage, B-movies, and whatever. But I am actually really interested to see how this goes. It's rare though that I want to sit down and see a thing in a long form. Like, let's say it's a movie, a two-hour experience. Yeah, right.

This feels more akin to just like, give me random, meme videos. Well, basically it sounds like TikTok because it's short form. You're just sort of flipping through and finding stuff at random. That is my question.

My first question when this first was booted about a few months ago was, is it going to be based on my viewing habits? Because if it's not, that's a failure. The second question now that we're like, oh, okay, it's based on your viewing habits, is am I going to want to do that? Or how many people are going to want to do that?

How many people settle in and say, all right, play me either half hour to two hours and a half of something right now. Right. And you can, like I said, you can choose like, oh, no, that's too long. Give me something else. But even at a half hour to an hour, how many times are you sitting down just to be like, you know what, I'm going to choose to press a button, right? I'm not just turning it on to see what's on.

I'm choosing to press a button and I'm going to settle in and watch it for a while. Right. I mean, that seems more like behavior for background viewing. Yeah, I agree. I agree. You know what they should do if you're late on paying your Netflix bill? When you do that, it should just show you the last few minutes of every movie or TV, like the finale. Like, so it's a Ned Stark shunk.

Oh, I just want to go back and revisit this idea of being late paying your Netflix bill, as if you don't have auto pay. Well, let's say you write a check to Netflix every month. I do. And then I fill out. the memo and say for streaming programming it's like the old days yeah that's right but like yeah like uh this is an interesting um rabbit to chase because nobody's quite got that figured out yet and then you could argue that things like on this far short end uh tictock and things like it instagram and that sort of thing but then over here youtube does something similar just by being

youtube like right whatever you're watching you're always getting a thing that pops up and says well, you watched a lot of video game things last week. You're probably going to like these video game things that we've just now laid out here at the bottom. And that is kind of like random viewing. So I don't know. I can attest, Scott, to your question about what is Netflix going to show me. I use YouTube so sporadically and for such varied reasons

and I'm often logged into a different account when I do it. So not everything I watch gets captured. My algorithm suggests just random stuff that I'm like, I'm not interested in any of that. Yeah, I agree. Well, it'll be interesting to see when's this going, when's this happening? Is it live now or rolling out? This is happening this year.

They announced it in their earnings call. They're testing it. So I think Captain Kipper in the chat room said that he has it already. So some folks are getting it as a part of the test. And Captain Kipper said that his said, play something for me. They're testing a few other types of language. So I don't think they announced a date when that's going to come. Right.

Well, I will use it when it happens. and then I will probably never use it again. But we'll see. Use it to try it out. Although, you know, maybe if there's a way to combine watch party with play me something, then we do that for a surprise episode of Film Sack where we just say, all right, live film Sack play something for us. That's where it would have been cool to have the algorithm.

Have an account for Filmsack account. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. I really should have done it. We're 10 years in and I'm just like, I can't do it. fake it like could you create a film sack account go in and just like rape all the movies oh yeah yeah just go yeah you don't have to watch

them just like yeah don't they thumbs up all the stuff that you've done on film sag it only take you like six days they account for that though right they account for whether you watch it or not I would assume in that well you could you could yeah they probably do you could start it start it fast forward finish it at least that'll give you skip around

I don't know here's Wicker playing with the volume down yeah why not All right. I kind of, now I kind of want to see how this pans out. That's something for your intern to do. Yeah, there you go. Our TMS intern. Actually, we have a couple of people that might be willing to do it. All right, this is all well and good.

Later today on the Daily Tech News show, we'll talk about that. Other tech stories as they arise. So please be here for that. Tom, anything else going on? You want to mention? Oh, yeah. In case anyone was worried about Jack Maugh, he showed up. Oh.

He did a Zoom. Well, I don't know, it was a Zoom call. They did a video call with some teachers doing some advice. So Jack Ma, co-founder, Valley Baba, had not appeared in public since he got slapped down by the Chinese government in October over antitrust. He finally showed his face again. So if you were worried about Jack, he's fine. Okay, good. Well, I was, but now I'm not.

And it's because you have brought the great news to us here today. Yes. But as far as I know, I should. I'm just thinking of others instead of myself. If you want to follow everything I do, go to tommerit.com. Yeah, tommerit.com's great because it branches out into your writing, into your shows, into all of cool stuff you got going on. It's a great little landing point.

Go check it out. Tom Merritt, Ace Detect on Twitter. Thanks for hanging out with us and we'll see you later today. Hey, thanks for having me. Bye now. Thanks, Tom. Bye now. I forgot to mention, I have that class thing I'm doing during our normal planning meeting at once.

I got to let him know. Oh, no. I didn't have done it on the air, but that seemed weird, so I'll do it later. Anyway, hey, what now? Oh, recommendals. So I haven't talked to Nicole at all, but I'm hopeful. Oh, I have. I talked to her this morning.

She's good. We made sure that there was no overlap in our, in our recommendals. Fantastic. But I did in a very crafty, secrety way. Oh, this is great. Oh, that's right. I was on that text. What am I thinking?

You were. Hey, let's bring. her in then and do this thing we do with her with this check it out everybody it's Nicole Spag joining us as she does every Wednesday to do recommendals. Maybe I'll turn this light off. I'm a little weepy eyed today. Oh, why are you? Oh, because you know, we're got a bit of a good day. I was watching

the inauguration. I was watching Kamala Harris be sworn in and you know. That's a big deal. You know what? It's easy to get that. It's easy to lose that thread, right? Like, it's this year, it's easy to say, like, everybody wants to get all partisan and be in their crowd and their club or whatever. And no matter how you feel one direction or another, it's hard. It's important to stop for a second and go, okay, regardless of party or anything, there is a historic thing happening today. It really is. I made Ava stop playing Mario. And I'm like, Eva, watch this. Yeah. And then Ava was weepy-eyed as well.

No, she was like, she's like, Mommy, why are you drippy? I'm like, I'm happy, but you're drippy. And she's five. So she doesn't understand. So, I mean, for me, growing up, you explain a glass ceiling. Yeah, I'm kidding. Yeah, it's a big deal, right? Like, it's easy for Brian and I to go, another president, another thing, but this is like a significant thing for women in a way that.

It's huge. I mean, when I was, it was in the 80s when Geraldine Farrar was the first woman VP, and I, I remember that vividly, like, seeing that. Except for her last name, which was Farraro, but you were close. You know what I mean. Hey, it's been 30 years. Come on. Give me a break.

I got most of it. Yeah, you got most of it. You're good. But it was, it was really, it was something that stuck to me when I was a kid. And I was like, wow, a female vice president, that, can that happen? And then it didn't happen. It didn't happen. Yeah, but it was, that was historic in that it got close, you know.

Honestly, had Palin made it, I would have been drippy then too. It's, you know, I don't know. It is a big deal. It's a big thing. Yeah. And we should, it should be celebrated as such. I think that's, I think it's awesome. All right.

Well, let's do recommendals. Hey, Brian, we always start with you with these clips here. Do you have a setup for these here? Yes. My first one is a film. Actually, both of minor films this time around. Ooh. And this is a new film.

All right, here we go. You watch wrestling. Wrestling? Oh, can't say it's part of my daily view. I figure not. Well, my favorite wrestler is gorgeous George. It's a good-looking fellow, I take it. In the old Pian way, show I had a head full of blonde hair teased up into a nice dude.

Oh, the crowds must love him. He primes and he prances around like a peacock talking all kind of smack. They boo them, they scream at them, and the more they scream, the mo he eggs them all on. Oh, so he's the villain? Well, sort of. Rassling is complicated. And why would you model yourself after a person everyone hates cash? Because everyone in that arena pays $100 to see George lose.

The way I figured when I'll lose the fight, George is already one. on the wall. Well, maybe you fellas just like going around with targets on your bags. Are we learned from the best, brother minister? No idea. What is this? That is a film called One Night in Miami. And it just landed on

Amazon Prime. And it tells the story of a real get-together on February 25th, 1964, where Malcolm X, Cassius Clay, Muhammad Ali, Jim Jim Brown and Sam Cook all got together for an evening in a in a Miami hotel before the uh ali's fight with

sunny liston and um unfortunately no one knows what they discussed so this is kind of like a a fantasy thing right exactly the four of them did spend an evening together talking but we don't know what they talk about but but director and actress she's not in this but regina king directed this, and she's great. Oh, that's awesome. Described what she thought they might have discussed, and it's really good. It talks a lot about Cassius Clay moving to Islam, or not moving to Islam, but like taking up the Islamic religion, religion based on.

What's that? Converting. Converting is the word I'm looking for, exactly. Malcolm X. Also, some, you know, some arguments between the four. I mean, it's like the breakfast club, if it took place in a Miami hotel with. Malcolm X-Mahom and Ali Jim Brand and Sam Cuck. But you also get Lance Reddick in there.

You get Bow Bridges. It's a really, really well. Bow Bridges is still around? Oh, yeah, man. I love Bo Bridges is still around. I love Bo Bridges. He's cool. And it's really, really good. It talks about what a great musician Sam Cooke was.

And, yeah, just such a great, it's a really, really great show. really well-acted, well-presented, and fascinating, even if it's, even if it's based on conjecture. I'm fine with that. Yeah. I'm okay with that. Conjecture. Who's the actor?

Go ahead. Who's the actor? I was like, who's the actor that's the dude in a, Oh, Jeff Bridges. Okay, so Bo and Jeff are brothers. Yes, they are. And their dad, their dad is Lloyd Bridges, who was, uh, uh, Mandelbaum and Seinfeld.

Mandelbaum. And their mom is London Bridges. There you go. She was always falling down, though. That was a problem. Every time you come around. Cole had a very different interpretation. Yes, exactly.

Let's play the second clip, Brian. Also a film. Also a film. And this one, this is one that we saw previews for back when we were able to go to theaters. obviously I never saw in theaters but it is and for a while it was only rentable online but now it's streaming so as soon as we saw that

it was available like oh we want to see this so there you go all right here it is I turn my phone on what I know it was just for a second you broke the pack okay yeah I know but Jack listen to me you lied to me well technically I just omitted information

that is the same okay Jack there were these voicemails from my mom I thought she was just talking about, like, Fox News or whatever, but she kept saying that these rats were taking over the city and, like, something about ethanol, and it's just... What? I don't know. Like, the trouble wouldn't have trouble of it,

but isn't it just, like, a little weird? We see this freaky little creature all of a sudden, and then the whiskey and the sourdough. That's ethanol stuff, right? What are you saying? I don't know. But we need to turn our phones back on. We have to hang out.

No, Sue. No. Okay, you're right. Yeah, let's get back on mine. I have no idea what this is. So I don't know the name of the movie, but it's like these little tribbles that are invading the earth. And the trailer looked really funny. And is it scary?

Because it looks funny. It's not scary at all. It's really, really funny. So basically, it follows this. The movie is called Save Yourselves with an exclamation point. It's streaming on Hulu. There's a millennial couple named Sue and Jack who decide to go offline. They're finding that they're just too addicted to their phones.

They're sitting there watching TV in the opening and they're like both on their phones and they don't hear a word each other's saying and, you know, very, very much like what I don't know, goes on sometimes in our house. Yeah, in my house. So they decide, you know what, we're going to just go offline. We're going to stop. We're going to, for one week, get off our phones, get off the internet, no laptops, no Google, no Siri, and none of that stuff. And they go up to a friend's cabin. Well, as they're doing this,

literally moments after they shut all their stuff off, there is an alien invasion. And they're completely unaware of it as they're chopping wood and canoeing on a lake and trying to connect with one another again until those triple-looking things start showing up at their cabin. And they're trying to figure out what's going on. So it is a really funny sci-fi film. And I'll stop there with any sort of spoilers or anything that's going on. The Sunita Mani, I think it's Sunita Money, you've seen her in Mr. Robot, but she was also in Glow. She was the wrestler that they wanted to look like a terrorist, like an Arabic terrorist.

So they made her up to be that character. John Paul Reynolds, he's familiar, but I don't know what I've seen him in. Oh, I guess he's in Stranger Things, and he was in, or is in Search Party, but didn't. Oh, search party is looking weird. Is it? I've heard. I haven't even watched it. I've only watched the trailers, but the new season makes me want to watch it.

Really? Okay. Yeah. That's something I've heard some recommendations for. But anyway, it's called Save Yourself. It's on Hulu. And, thank you, Stephanie, yes. And it's really funny.

Very kind of tongue in cheek, probably compare it to a less weird version of the lobster or something like that where you've got kind of a suspend disbelief. Yeah. Although it's not as wacky. I guess what about critters? Remember critters? Yeah, hard for me to compare it to like 80s. That's like goofy. This one doesn't seem that goofy. Hey,

Gremlins are popular. Let's see if we can make a movie like Gremlin. Yeah, that's basically what that was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, no, this is funny. And it deals just as much with them going offline and being millennials that don't know how to do a whole lot of things. As it does, any sort of sci-fi monster movie. All right, then.

Go check it out. Hulu now. Yes. Hulu now. There's no service called. Hulu now. Just watch it. There will be. Give it a year. There'll be a Hulu now. Who knows what it'll offer. All right. Here's my clip. This is for a series,

a short mini-series that's on Netflix, and that's all I'll say. It'll be clear that this is a documentary, so I guess that's a dead giveaway, but here you go. In the 1980s, we were proud of the city. L.A. was glamorous. But if you went around to the other side, L.A. would be a very dark place.

I was on the freeway and here comes somebody speeding and all of a sudden he just swerves around my car. It's like he's right there like a moment stop. And he has this horrible big grin and he's missing all these teeth. He just stared at me like a killer clown. You got us a serial killer. All right. Wow.

Any idea? God, it feels like mine hunter in the 80s. A little bit. I mean, it's a documentary. so it's a real, you know, it's a documentary, I guess. Right. But it's for, so in the 1980s there was a, there was a serial killer run rampant in 1985 through,

well, I think it just, the entire year encapsulated most of the killings, but it was this person they dubbed the Nightstalker. Oh, Nutstalker, okay. So the show, so the series is called Nightstalker. It's a true crime documentary, and it is mostly interviews with the detectives who are in charge of finding this guy, tracking him down and stopping him, one of which was the hillside strangler, uh, detective who kind of solved that crime and, uh, ended up working with this other dude. And, and anyway, it's a lot

of other people involved as well, but it focuses a lot on them and their case. And they interview these guys all these years later. Uh, I really liked the cops, uh, for whatever reason. They just left a real impression on me. But anyway, it's one of these things. If you like true crime documentary, this is one of those and you're going to like it. If you don't like this stuff and find it super depressing, I find it fascinating, so that's why I watch him. But if you find that stuff really depressing, then you probably want to not watch it.

But that dude, it was a psycho man. Ramirez was a true blue freaking freak freak show. Like, I don't know what else to say about that guy, except what a weirdo. And the crimes he committed were horrendous and frequent and made no sense. They really screwed with the cops as far as, you know, patterns and trying to stop him from his next killing. And it's just real bad stuff. And I remember as a kid hearing about it, but I didn't know much about it growing up.

Did you happen to watch American Horror Story Hotel? No. I did not see that. Hotel we did. Yeah. Didn't they feature Ramirez? Did they? I got it.

He was at the dinner, right? Or was he in? The whole Halloween episode. where all of like the notorious serial killers come to the summer camp one was the summer camp uh nightstocker like killer at uh hmm i don't remember it's been yeah it's been too long since i seen as you know tell i want to say they they featured him as one of the asvp msson says uh he's in 1984 he's in american horse train night so which is the summer camp one. That makes sense because that's, that would be his

specific, yeah. Because he was, he was all, uh, you know, admiring earlier serial killers and wanted to be as popular as them. Which is exactly true. This guy was like, he, he admired, like, worship the Hillside Strangler and like, you know, a lot of the stuff he pulled off was, was modeled after that guy. He was a, that's crazy. Real psycho. He certainly could have been in both Nicole. Yeah, yeah, possibly. And that would have been appropriate if it was a dinner of

serial killers that they would have been. Yeah. It's the one night that, the dead can that haven't died in the hotel can come back to the hotel okay that i remember but i don't remember who is there but yes uh the woman uh from monster what was her name i don't remember her a warnos i lean warnos yeah um i think bundy was there yeah there was like a whole bunch of them it was a weird dinner party of serial killers that's a weird concept but wasn't there a jake Gyllenhaal movie that was called night crawler night crawler that's different yeah he was just a he was just a bad paparazzi dude he was just a huge not really not really paparazzi but like uh like a dick he's just a dick yeah he was dick

yeah that's all that was that movie should have called it dick is what they should have done anyway it's a good movie actually but anyway so the point is it's a documentary it's a grizzly it goes into a lot of detail my only complaint is it decides to get a little flashy at points and really hammer home that it's the 80s. So every time they roll the logo, it looks like I'm about to watch some MTV video from 1985. Sure. But the actual interviews, the process, which everything goes through is really interesting. They also have this really weird technique where they'll have crime scene photos, actual crime scene photos, which they'll show.

But then they've recreated in like photo realistic 3D these photos. and they're flying around them in in 3D space. It's weird. It's so weird because you'll see like these really famous photos of the horrible crime scene. And then now it's all in 3D. And I don't mean like they recreated an actual photo shoot of the room. Like it looks like advanced Unreal Engine 5 looking. It's hard to explain.

It looks really cool though. Anyway, I liked it a lot. If it's your jam, you're going to like it. If you don't like these things, stay away. But true crime seems to be a thing that Netflix does people. I love that sort of stuff. So I definitely want to check that out. It's really good.

And the one, the main cop, can I give his name now? I really loved him. He was just a, seemed like somebody I would happily walk into any dark alleyway with and feel totally comfortable. I think he's just going to protect me no matter what happens. He was just awesome.

Anyway, nightcrawler available on Netflix. Nicole. That's talker you mean. Now I got nightcaller. Sorry. Nightcroller also might be, but let's say, let's say that. Sorry, Nicole, what did you bring with you? Well, before I bring it, I'm curious, have you watched that documentary?

Crazy and Not Insane yet on HBO? Remind me, that's, which one is that? It's, um, it is the psychiatrist Dorothy Lewis. She's interviewed a ton of serial killers. And she, this is like her. first, like, in public. She interviewed Bundy last and talks about why they are the way they are. Oh, this is an Alex Gibney joint.

I love his documentaries. Yeah. I haven't seen. I recommended it like a month or so. That guy made the Enron movie and that going clear Scientology thing. He's good. Gibney's Brad. All right.

So it's basically a look at serial killers and the death penalty. and are they crazy what has happened to them and like how does how do why do people kill is basically the the premise of the documentary i think you of all people would like to watch this document yeah no this is my jam i don't remember you recommending this i hold absolutely for this on my list like right now watch it that might be the next there's a lot of she has a lot of bundy interviews and she was the last person to talk to him before he was executed Oh, really? Okay. We have a lot of, you know, there's a big fat Utah connection with Bundy.

Like a bunch of his crimes were committed here. He hid at one point, or no, had a failed kidnapping behind my favorite record store that I used to go to. Oh, God. Really? Yeah. Yeah, he was a nutbag. Colorado, too. A bunch of time.

Colorado connection, yeah. Not a great one either. I have something fun to share. Nothing dark. Something that made. me laugh multiple times. And here's the clip. I'm so glad I was able to find this clip because this was the clip I wanted. Okay. So here you go. All right. Don't look, Ryan. I'm not looking. Hit and play. Uh, playing, I think. I think you might enjoy it's Ruth Vader-Ganja.

You guys, uh, fans of Supreme Court justices. Oh, yeah. Well, you might have heard of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It's now Ruth Bader Ganja. We were playing. playing around with John Stevens for a while, but we couldn't really think of anything for that. For you, I think it's very good because it will get you supremely high. But at the same time, you'll still be able to mediate family disputes or decide on what you might be cooking. It's also a really fun weed when you need to concentrate. You can build a castle out of Legos. What is this?

It's very quiet. The YouTube videos are super cool. So this, what? I know I know what this is. Okay, so he goes on to talk about playing with Calico Critters and Shopkins. So you heard, did you recognize the other voices? No. So they're little cameos, but it's, oh, Ant-Man, why blank it on his name?

Paul Rudd. I should have said that because I was thinking it was Paul Rudd, damn it. So it's Paul Rudd, and I can't remember the other guy's name, but you would recognize him. David Wayne David Wayne David Wayne David Wayne Anyway

You would recognize him Look if you don't recognize him Are you watching the clip? I'm looking at it now I can see Paul Rubber the other guy I don't know So this is a movie on Netflix Called Fun Mom Dinner

Fun Mom Dinner Fun Mom Okay I like the title All right It's just you know That sounds like a placeholder title It is like you know You go out for a fun mom dinner

So, I will say, this movie is directed to me. Maybe, dads, I mean, it's, but it, it's funny to me because the four moms that are out, it's Tony Colette, a Molly Shannon. Oh, I love Tony Colette. That's great. Bridget Everett, which I had never heard of her before until I watched her on the comedians getting coffee and cars. or something. Okay, yeah. So she has an episode with Jerry Seinfeld.

That's how I remembered her. Oh, yeah. She was in that wine country. No, she wasn't. Wasn't she? No. No. I don't think so.

No. Yeah, I know who I'm thinking of. I thought, looking at it was like, what have I seen her in? But she was hilarious on that comedians in a car's episode. And they talk about, like, there's a few between Seinfeld and Bobcat, Gulf. but they always blank they bleeped out his name so i googled it and i'm like oh they're talking about bobcat so that's what i remember there was a feud between those two i didn't know that yeah yeah yeah watch that episode um but she's very loud and very funny and i she was great in this

so she's the mom that volunteers she's running their their kids are all in preschool um and the four of them get together. But Tony Colette has like four kids. So she's like over the whole mom thing. So she's all bitter. But her other friend brings her out and comedy ensues. And there's just some really, like the clip I gave you, they went to, uh, to the dispensary. Oh, Adam Levine is in here.

Oh, funny. Wait, Adam Levine. He's the singer guy. From Maroon five. Yeah. all the tattoos he's the sexy man people like him yeah I prefer Adam Scott but he's in it too

he doesn't have as many tattoos and it doesn't take a shirt off during the Super Bowl but other than that yeah it's kind of like have you seen the what's the bad mom movie that's what I would have been my guess bad moms yeah yeah so that's like the popular

I actually think this is a funnier more a little bit more raw view of moms Well, it's right there in the title, Fun Mom Dinner. Fun Mom Dinner. Yeah, Fun Mom Dinner. Wait, is this an Netflix original or is this just the thing that came there? I don't know.

It's on Netflix. It came out in 2017. I missed it completely. Oh, yeah. There's a really funny scene where they jump into a lake or maybe it's like a bay. And they're trying to swim after a boat. And the Bridget Everett's character says, to Tony Colette's character.

Oh my God, you're awesome. You really need to think about co-chairing the silent auction with me in the spring. And it made me laugh because I'm on the PTA and I'm always looking for people to help me do stuff. Oh, this has been miserably reviewed, but I'm still. It is, but I laughed so hard. So maybe you have to be a specific type of person to appreciate this movie, but I appreciate the movie. I thought it was funny. I enjoyed it.

You don't always agree with reviews. Oh, I don't either. This one's real low. But I'm going to say it because I believe it with my whole heart that there's not enough Molly Shannon things in the world. And so if she's in something, I'm happy to support it. So I'm in. And I recognize it's probably a bad movie, but it's hitting me in the right place in my life. So I identified with a lot of it.

And it was pretty funny. There's nothing wrong with it. poop scene was not a good scene. I did not like that. Oh, a poop scene, eh? Those movies always have a poop scene. Whether it's Maya Rudolph in the middle of a street or Vince Vaughn. Yeah. It does have that.

It's that same vein of, you know, bridesmaids. Vane. Yeah, vein. Mudvane. Mudvane. Well, here's the good news, you guys. Nicole curates a list of what we just talked about. on her Twitter feed later today.

I do. It's awesome. Go to follow her as she's at Nicole Spag and then you'll find out what the hell we watched. If you didn't catch all the names, it's an easy way to do that. And I'll retweet it on our account as well. Nicole, anything else you'd like to say before we go? I don't know. Happy inauguration day.

Happy inauguration day. Go give Dougie a big hug for us. Hug Dougie. Hug Dougie. Maybe Dougie will poop if you hug Dougie. You squeeze Dougie too tight and he will. Let Dougie eat half a pizza. That's right.

That's what I would say. Squeeze out his butt vein. All right. Let's get to the end of things, which involves a food idea from Trey and Tennessee. I like ideas about food. He says, hey, they're sour and bread and butter. I think you're both bread and butter, I think. Yeah, because those are kinds of pickles.

Oh, right. Butter pickles and sour pickles. My old family hates bread and butter pickles, which is fine with me because I love them. The flat ones you can put on a same. Man, you don't even know. Those are the best. I love him. I'm so glad to hear you say that because a lot of people really don't like those. And I freaking love them.

And so no one touches them. I get a whole jar in the fridge. That's mine. It's fantastic. Yeah. Nobody takes them. It's great. The best. Yeah.

I like them both. He says, pickles are fantastic, especially Kool-Aid pickles. What? Which are actually fairly common, as you guessed correctly. I didn't guess that. Anyway. I did. We talked about this with the fan service we did for the guy who's doing the taste testing

videos on YouTube and their first episode was about Kool-Aid pickles and I mentioned that when we did their fan service. Okay. Well, apparently this is a very southern thing and I'd never heard of this before. I'm going to ask them about it either. He says, You make them by mixing Kool-Aid powder with the pickle juice and then let them soak overnight with cherry being the true standouts.

That's the one you want to use for the flavor. Interesting. Okay. Another great pickle combination or concoction, which cannot be made anymore, is taking a jolly Rancher, the old flat-style ones that they don't make anymore, unfortunately. Bite, sorry, bite just the tip of the pickle off and jam the

candy down the inside and enjoy. Lew. Ah, you can't. Leigh. Does it, so I would hope that the Jolly Rancher melts in there. Well, you would think it would

at the very least, it would eventually dissolve. So you just can't do, you can't eat it until it's dissolved. Otherwise, you're going to ship a tooth. And how do you know? If it's done. How do you know? What do you know?

Well, anyway, last pickle-related thing. My grandfather, the smart businessman, he was. Is when he ran skating rinks instead of throwing out the pickle juice, he would save it and freeze it in ice cube molds and with a toothpick inside in order to make pickle pops. So the guy would make pickle pops and then suck on those later. That's weird. I'm not going to try that. I might try Kool-Aid pickles.

Yeah, I might try that. I'd be willing to. My wife is currently on a pickling binge. We've got pickled carrots, pickled onions, and pickled cucumbers all right now at the moment. I know cucumbers are basically pickles, but she's doing them in slices and then doing a vinegar thing, and they're so good. Oh, my gosh, they're good. I could eat them on anything, you guys. Just give me a big chunk of it.

Yeah, Ikeur was asking, wait, Jolly Ranchers, what form? in Jolly Ranchers now. I mean, it's the form that you have known and love is the little elongated cubes. Yeah. But for a while, we had Jolly Rancher sticks, which were like flat stripes of Jolly Rancher, and you'd kind of, for whatever reason, I only

remember the hot cinnamon flavor. Oh, same here, that's interesting. Is that all they ever did? They must not have. They must have done other flavors, because I remember a green, I remember green apple had to be in there. I think I saw the green apple one. But, um, yeah, I remember

Those flat stripes about that big, that long, and you'd peel the plastic off. They don't do those anymore. If you ever tried to like, you'd forget about it. You'd leave it on the couch. You'd stick to the couch. Oh, yeah. And they'll remove your teeth. If you got teeth work, you'd just screwed.

Yeah, totally. Completely screwed. Anyway, thanks for the food idea there, Trey from Tennessee. We'll give it a shot. I actually will. I might go to the store and get a jar of pickles today. Yeah. I'm going to ask my wife about it.

What the heck? What the heck do you mean? What the heck you mean? Okay. Hey, check this out. Patreon.com slash TMS is a website. If you go there, you'll find out ways you can support this program. Yeah, that's right.

Oh, well, it's such an inspiring day, things that are going on right now in our capital. Right now, it's the, it's like the end of Sardant Live when everybody's on stage, hugging and shaking hands with each other. And, oh, we did a great inauguration today. Yep, we sure did a great inauguration. Here's, you know, somebody hugging, looks like Hillary and Lady Gaga talking with each other right now. That's great. Oh, together? All right.

Yeah. It would be great. Hila, Gaga. Sort of gone, like right in her face, that'd be great. You know, I got mad at Bill once when someone poked his face. I never tried a Hillary impersonation before, and I never try one again. Someone poked his face. Oh, sorry.

All right, go ahead. That might be, I need to workshop the joke and the impersonation a little bit more. Anyway, but the song I'm playing has absolutely nothing to do with all that inspiration going on on the East Coast right now. This one comes in from Andy Isom, and what I love about this is he let me know that there are a bunch of new holophonics albums out there. I'm so excited. This one comes from one of the newer ones. It is Love Yourself, originally performed by Justin Bieber, covered by Austin, Texas ska band, the Halophonics. Wow.

All right. Here it is then. Come back tomorrow for a Thursday edition of the show. Thank you for listening. We'll see you then. For all the times that you rained on my parade and all the clubs you get in using my name. You think you broke my heart on your goodness sake. You think I'm crying on my own. Well, I ain't. And I didn't want to write a song because I didn't want anyone thinking I still. care I don't, but you still hit my phone up and baby I'll be moving on and I think you should be

something I don't want to hold back maybe you should know that but mama don't like you and she likes everyone and I never like to admit that I was wrong and I've been so caught up in my job didn't see

what's going on but now I know I'm better sleeping on my own Because if you like the way You look that much Oh baby you should go and love yourself And if you think that I'm still holding on To something you should go and love yourself And when you told me that you hated my friends

The only problem was with you and not them And every time you told me my opinion was wrong And tried to make me forget where I came from And I didn't want to write a song Because I didn't want anyone thinking I still care I don't But you still hit my phone up And baby I'll be moving on

And I think you should be something I don't want to hold back Maybe you should know that My mama don't like you and she likes everyone And I never like to admit that I was wrong And I've been so caught up in my job Didn't see what's going on But now I know

I'm better sleeping on my own Because if you like the way You look that much Oh baby you should go and love yourself And if you think that I'm still holding on to something you should go and love yourself For all the time.

For all the times that you made me feel small. I fell in love Now I feel nothing at all It never felt so long When I was vulnerable Was I a fool to let you break down my walls Because if you like the way You look that much

Oh baby you should go and love yourself And if you think that I'm still holding on This is something you should go and love yourself Because if you like the way you love that much Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself And if you think that I'm still holding on There's something you should go and fuck yourself Hey!
