He won. Scott Johnson here. Brian Hibbitt there. Here. Here I am. There you are. Yep. Here we are. We're all together. Oh. My mixer had a little thing going, we're all together in this. Guys, it's okay. We're in it together. So don't stress about it. I feel like I slept five minutes last night. I don't know what my deal was. Yeah. Well, I know I slept five minutes last night. I went to bed at,

I went to bed relatively early, about 10.30. I read some, I'm reading Ready Player, too. Yeah. How is that so far? It's more of the same of Ready Player 1. So if you like Ready Player 1, you'll like Ready Player 2. Yeah. But is every other sentence a reference to the 80s? Is that how that works? Yeah, and that's my only, I can't even really call it a complaint.

That's my only quibble with it, but that's like complaining about, I don't know. It's like complaining about Monty Python because they've gotten on sequiters. you know it's like that's that's what you're you're getting that's what you're in for sure it's like saying oh how come water world's got all this water in it what's that about that's yeah the ready player one and two are all about nostalgia yeah i think i just want i want him i want ernest to feel comfortable to just say the morning whoops to say uh if you leave started playing on the on the turntable as opposed to if you leave the song that ducky Andy fell in love to on

Pretty and Pink started playing on the turntable. Just like that movie by John Hughes called Pretty and Pink. It's like, you know, just rest that rest assured that the people who are buying your book are familiar with a lot of these references

and, yeah, you don't have to explain it. It's a little weird. It's a little weird. Oh, MD, orchestral maneuvers in the dark. Are you I don't know why you're saying that. Are you familiar? Yeah. That's a band, right? The second CD I ever owned was the Pretty and Pink soundtrack. Oh, really?

Oh, that's cool. Yeah. I don't remember my first CD. I feel dumb now. Why don't I know that? Oh, really? My very first CD, because my dad took me to buy a CD player, 19806, 85, 86.

86? Was that, I don't remember when CD players happened in the mainstream. I don't know when they happened either, but I know I got mine for my birthday in 1986, because it was right before I moved. I had it for about a year before I moved to college. And the first CD, like, so basically we go to the store and we get the CD player. And then he says, well, pick out a CD, whatever CD you want. I said, oh, let me get Howard Jones dream into action.

Cool. All right. So we get it home. We hook it up. I had a regular, you know, stereo with an auxiliary input. Sure. Ox is the kids say today. They call it an ox.

Correct. So I plugged the CD player into that. Hit play. and it just started going and it was like it was skipping and not not playing well I'm like oh crap that seems bad well maybe it's the CD let's go back to the store get you another CD and we'll see if it's if it's different so we went back and got pretty and pink and put that in it was doing the same thing and then we looked at the instruction that said there was a little plastic key you had to turn and remove on the bottom because it locks the laser head which is on kind of spring bouncy bouncy stuff yeah yeah springy bouncingness, you have to unlock that so that it releases it from its springs and then you can play CDs and they play normal. So I end up getting two CDs for that. That's old school, man, back in the day. It really was.

I know. So I was looking at the dates. 82 is the first consumer model. There was actually a patent granted in 1970 for what would eventually become the compact disc. That's amazing. That is that old. Because I felt like it was bleeding edge in 1986. I think it just was finally mainstream, right?

You'd go to a store. I think that was it. Plus, they were starting to be under $200. Yeah. Because I think that's probably what kept me from getting one earlier. They were probably like $5 or $600. Yeah, and the disc stopped being $35 or $40. Remember that?

They were really expensive when they first came out. It was like VHS when they first came out. It was like $90 a tape. And then later CDs had that same. problem. DVDs were like that when they lost. 24, 25, yes. I remember getting, paying that much for CDs. But I did like the long boxes.

I liked having the extra artwork. Oh, yeah, that's just great. I mean, there was a lot of plastic there and arguably bad for the environment and everything that or paper, yeah. That's true. But I remember that. That's exactly where we got. It was Listen Up in Denver. And my friend Angel Bigelow worked

at that Listen Up. They had the CD players and then they had laser disc players and yeah, that was a thing. They had a logger drink. They had a logger drink and then a whiskey drink and then a cider drink and then a

cider drink and then a other drink and then a drink. Oh, crazy. TVZ gun worked for ListenUp as well but the one down in Colorado Springs. Okay, that's crazy that two people I knew independently worked at Listen Up. Anyone in the chat, no Raspberry Records? Do you ever heard of that? No,

nobody. Utah thing? Yeah, it is. I think it was Utah only. It's famous for, well, we'd love to go in there, but it's also famous because apparently one of Ted Bundy's victims who escaped he caught or he got her behind a

behind a Raspberry Records. Oh, geez. Yeah, but she got away. She made it. That's good. Yeah, I need to watch the, I need to watch that, that what was it wickedly handsome and horribly dangerous or whatever? Is it?

the Netflix documentary about him? Yeah. Well, there's the one that's... There's the one that the dramatization or the... I forget it. Yeah, and I've got the names all mixed up. One's about the tapes, and I think it's called the Bundy tapes.

That might be the documentary. And then the wickedly handsome, dirty, fat guy, whatever name, whatever that is. That's the one with Zach Efron looking all sexy the whole time. That's right. Okay. And it's not bad. I actually kind of thought that was pretty good. I don't know what the consensus was on that,

liked it. It was interesting. Anyway, serial killers. They're back, everybody. They're back. They're back. Everybody? All right. Hey. One last record store thing? We used to have a place here. It was called Underground Records and it was down by the college.

It was down by Denver University. And it was run by like four Swedish ladies who had like, it was a multi-room record store. place had everything all these imports and hard to find stuff and i spend so much money there the other thing they had were about 12 cats that would lay around all over the store often in the record bins so like you'd want to go flip through the the the rs there's like a a big fat black long-haired cat laying on them and you'd be like uh well i guess i'll look at f's yeah you got you don't the cat doesn't you don't move the cat you know they don't move the cat you know they don't move the cat, you just decide to buy something else.

Yeah, I'm getting so much money at that place. That's really weird. Why, wife, how do you know it was four Swedish ladies? I'm dying in on the story. When you go up to the counter, they'd talk to you and it's like, oh, you're buying such and such, oh, it's very good. Yeah, he's very good. That's the worst Swedish accent, but I really hadn't planned on doing one. It's all right.

It was all right. You had a little scars guard in there. It's fine. Oh, he's so vicious. I didn't know. He did so. album ooh that's more like eastern european is where i'm going getting russian by the second um but yeah it's just an odd thing to say there's this record store run by four swedish women and their cats

ladies and 12 cats yes and here's this funny when the um uh when the ladies sold the place yeah to the new owners who are still the new owners and and turn it into a twist and shout which is amazing. The cats stayed. Like, the ladies didn't take their cats with them. Oh, weird. Yeah. That's crazy. I don't know. I don't know what the deal is with that. Maybe they didn't want to go.

I mean, I don't know. Maybe the cats were there before the four Swedish ladies got there. Maybe the cats ran it the whole time. Maybe the cats are the owners and they brought the Swedish ladies in. But I'm saying, you're lucky it wasn't the other way around. They weren't selling you the records and the ladies were sitting in the R-bin, you know? You never

Right. Exactly. Right. They go home, the Swedish ladies go into a little crate, and then the cats go and count their money and say, oh, let's put a few more copies of Millie Vanilli's album out. Yeah, that sounds better right. Hey, speaking of serial killers, I got a little dream to tell you about. Oh, please do. I actually had it two nights ago. I forgot to mention it yesterday. meant to. But then last night went, oh, I forgot to tell Brian about that dream. I'm going to put it in the notes. Here is what happened. You were in my dream again, Brian. uh wait there's a song isn't there a song what's the song i'm sure there's lots of songs that say you were in my dreams uh yeah but a big one in my dream in my dream well there's uh there's uh what's her face debby gibson only in my dreams that's the one i'm thinking of that's that's sad oh it's more than sad my dreams that's really sad

Yeah, you can only hear that at the mall, you know. He had to go see her at the mall. Electric Youth, everybody, over there by the Big Fat Yellow Tabby. Go pick up a copy. That's the one. Anyway, so I'm in this dream, and we're detectives, okay? And we've been put on this serial killer case. There's a murderer in this dream called the Muckbang Murderer.

Now, here's the weird thing about it. I don't still, at the end of the stream, still know whether the perpetrator was one of those muck-bang video people that eats food on camera and makes a lot of sloppy noise, which is a thing. People like that, I guess. There's a whole Twitch channel dedicated to it. Or if it was somebody who was killing muck-bang streamers or YouTubers. A murder of muck-bangers or if he is a muck-banger himself. Right. This was never clear.

It was never made clear to me in the dream. but we were really on the we were on the case man it was like uh just hunting down leads and interviewing people and uh somebody talked to the dormant so we're gonna go talk to the dormant like it was like a montage type dream where we just were and we were added in like i think it's because i'm reading so much batman right now uh comics and there's so much like detective work going on between him and uh you know commissioner gordon and and other cops in the on the force and everything and so there's this back and forth all the time and those guys are always wearing like trench coats and like hats and they're looking a little shady or whatever when

they're out there doing their cop work we looked like those guys and um and that's basically it just me and you hunting down leads for the muckbang murderer so but we never found out so he just knew him by name so we didn't know why i'm bummed because i really wanted to know why he was called the muckbang murder you're not kidding like it's really unfortunate i'm going to kill you now Ew. I kind of hate that. Yeah. So do the victims, Scott. So do the victims. Yeah, I don't want some guy jamming like fried octopus in his mouth while he's killing you. You're going to finish that Kelamormor.

Sounds like that dude from Mind Hunter. But yeah, it was a... It was really weird. And at the end, it was one of those dreams where everything felt normal until I woke up. And then when I woke up, I immediately was like, wait a minute. it. Who we after? What was the point of that? And then I couldn't get an answer. And then I couldn't sleep again. So I felt like I slept like I slept five minutes last night. I'm kind of just a freaking wreck. And today, I got to do a, I got a rehearsal. The time's a little floaty, but a rehearsal with the Blizzard people. Boy, that's not a fun day to have five minutes

of sleep. You know, you got to be on your game. You got to be ready. You got to, yeah, for sure. Got to be up. But, uh, what, are they going to ask you fake questions? I do. You're not doing the Q&A, and you're moderating the Q&A, you're not providing the A's to the Q's. No, no, no, no. But you probably still have to have, like, a few fake questions to say, oh, that's a really good question. Let's go over to Ian Hazacostas, or, I got it, he nailed it. Did I get it? Yeah, and see what he says.

Yeah, no, it's nothing like that. It's more like, they call it rehearsal, but it's really just. Testing the tech. We're all there together. How's this looking? The guys are switching zoom around. you know just that kind of stuff so nothing too crazy but we'll see you know you're not using that background the way you have it right now are you

oh yeah this background is totally stand look at all that blizzard shit I got back there you're like gonna change it up yeah I did I'd put a look at all my blizzard boxes look at all that oh you did you did change it up yeah I literally changed it up my stormtrooper sitting over here looking at my crotch but you you cover up all of your um like I see a Diablo box but you know you I see the World of Warcraft ginormous Pandaria box Yeah, yeah

I mean it's hard because it's all back there You just gotta You gotta move around a lot You got it I'm gonna leave so they can see all the boxes got So Ian Tell me in patch 9.1 What's the plan for that?

Perfect, there you go Excellent Do that all during rehearsal And things will go fine Yeah, who even needs rehearsal I think I just did it That was fantastic All right

Well we've come to the part of the show where we'd like to involve you there in the live listing audience and try to win some prizes in a little game we call Babel Royale. And to do that, we have to have our old pal Brian Dunaway join the call, which we'll do shortly. And then you guys can call in at 801-471-0462. That's right. 801-471-0462 is the number to call.

And Dunaway is not answering. So I don't know why that is Except to say I lied, he did Hey everybody, check it out Babel Royale Time to play with Brian Dunaway It's like, hey, Mrs. Dunaway

Can Brian come out and play? Come out and play you? Oh, hi Scott and Brian Of course I can come out and play Oh good Well, we were, your mom is sometimes A real jerk about it We just want to make sure

Hey, hey, hey. Look, I know that you have chores. But she has Kool-Aid. She has the purple stuff as well, so let's get that going. That's also Kool-Aid. Hey, you know what? My mom used to like feeding. Do your mom ever like to feed hummingbirds?

Is that something you guys do out there? Or is that just a southern thing? We like to feed hummingbirds. Yeah. We had that. If you ever grew up with a, there was no feeder outside when I grew up, it wasn't until I moved out on my own that we got a feeder. We had a feeder, but I think my mom ran it.

I wasn't born into having a feeder, so when my mom started, decided she's going to start feeding the hummingbird. I was like, cool. You know, and I'm like, I guess like six or seven or something. And I'm, I've been outside playing all day. I run inside, hit the refrigerator. Yeah, cool. Mom made some red

Kool-Aid. Yeah. I'm to drink it up. Yeah. That tastes like not Kool-Lade. Like bird water. It tastes like bird water.

Yeah. It tastes like bird water. Yeah. I mean, it's sugar. and water and food coloring, isn't it? And it's practically Kool-Aid, but it's something not right. Yeah, it's not right.

You've got to have that fruity flavor of the Kool-Aid to make it good. Otherwise, it's the sugar water. Yeah, it looks like Mega Berry refresher, but it's not Megaberry refresher. No. And I can tell you right now, she put a lot of sugar in there, because that was like the sugriest water

ever had in my life. Oh, yeah. Doesn't it feel like it's the worst thing we could do to animals is just give them all that sugar? There you go. you some sugar water it really is like putting up it's like if we were into putting a poo outside and hoping the flies come you know what I mean kind of yeah exactly yeah but you know as humans we often try to apply our human appetites and things that don't work for us to other animals yeah that's weird do we do that birds yeah yeah yeah well they seem to be fine try to make vegetarians out of their cats sure but as far as I know there are no like hummingbird shortages they still exist in

Yeah, it would be fine. But somebody points out, yeah, I wonder if we didn't give them all that sugar if they wouldn't, if they wouldn't fly so fast. Like if we put a nice herbal tea in hummingbird feeders, would they just kind of like, oh my gosh, that would be terrible? Hey, how's it going? Yeah. Oh, this is so much better. Yeah. They're not really made for gliding, so that would be terrible.

Yeah. We've got to keep them hyped up. They're not like most of the rules. Yeah. Well, all right. This has been a fun or nithogical or a folly. Ornithology? What do you call it with birds?

Ornithology. Hornithology. Hornithological? Ornithological. Ornithological discussion that we've had here today. Our full TED Talk will be on the NPR show later and check it out. All right. Hey, we got a caller on the line.

Did I put it in my name is the password or did I, or did Scott? I think you did because Scott's not long good yet. Oh, yeah. what did you do people see that people see that name don't they when they hope not oh they do see it you're right yeah so maybe you want to what password should i be using no why it's still is still okay no that's scott's that's god yeah yours says not scott so scott did scott did that i haven't logged in i'm not logged in oh interesting we'll try it now see maybe it'll i don't know what the password is where's the

password is it's right there in the in the room the name yeah of all times to lose the password here it is right here I probably still have it on the other so you know what probably happened is you logged out and then logged back in and it created two players so that's why I'm thinking let me man I you know you guys just

want to break this thing don't you I'm in now I found the browser that had the same password but the problem is I don't I wonder if Scott can buzz in now because is that we've got... Yeah, I know. Okay, so I totally closed it. Oh, let's do reset players. There we go.

There we go. Now try logging it. All right. Here we go. This time I'm going to use... Not the password. Yes, please. See, it saved the password, and I got confused.

That's why it's familiar. You absolutely did. Yep. Oh, it's a total side-scroller. Oh, this is pretty. Yeah. It's like a Shinobi sword fighting. I would do.

It's kind of Metroidvania. It's cool. It's a very cool game. I knew this sounded familiar. and yes, Brian did cover it once. And it's in my, I have it. I own it, but I've never played it. But anyway, it looks good.

It's reviewed well. Very cool. Yeah. Oh, I played Momodoro. Momodora. I think you've played this too, though. Maybe I played this one too. I don't know.

Anyway, that's the game. All right, that's it. That's what you're winning. Yeah. Let's give you guys the topic. And you know what? I'm actually going, once I give you the topic, I'm going to do things a little different. I'm going to let Sandy play with one of you guys throughout the whole thing.

Oh, all right. Oh, no. that's how we do this. Never mind. It's the other one that we're changing to let the player play with you guys the whole time. Hello, I'm Brian, and I'm brand new to this, apparently. Your category is

name things in Airbnb. No, put your hands on your buzzers and tell me, which Pokemon would you want to own as a pet? Got. Okay. I would like to own Pikachu as a pet.

show me Pikachu How can I not be doing a morning Number one All right Number one No way you can beat that answer

All right Sandy You get the choice now You can either play With Scott or Brian As a team Who would you like to Who's team would you like to be on I'll go with Scott

Should you go with me Scott okay All right Well Scott you've got possession Do you want to play I guess there's no player pass Again because we We just

Yeah we just going to be a different situation. So confused by my own games. Well, we've made tweaks to it. It has. It's evolved so much. All right. So Scott,

name another Pokemon people the Tadpool would like to own as a pet. Well, Sandy, I would feel pretty good about a, oh, geez, now my brain's gone dead. Everyone likes that. That was the reason why I was so slow to hit.

I was like, I know three. Everybody likes that Evie thing, creature. The Evie thing. Yeah. What's it called? Is it just called Evie?

I guess it is. The one that's... Yeah, the base one is just called Evie. Yeah, let's do that. Evie. All right. All right. Show me.

Evie. Number two. Oh. That is nice. My guess is that's the order of sales that that one switch game had. Like they sold a little bit more. Yeah, the Let's Go.

Yeah. Even though I bought, I bought, let's go Evie. Yeah. That's the one I wanted. I think I got. I don't, oh no, I got Pikachu because I'm a mainstream weenie. All right. Mainstream weenies.

So it stays with us. Sandy, how do you feel about Bulbassar? Nice. Yeah, that's not a bad choice. Okay. Let's go Bulbosaur. All right. Show me Bulbassar.

Oh. Number eight on the list. Lower than I'd like. Lower down. Wow. Yeah, you got to wonder why people want these. pets, right? Like, all right, what made them choose Pikachu? Like, uh, if

the power goes out, you could just plug him into a plug your light switch lights into that, into him or, uh, what, or EV because of the evolutions? I don't know. Plus, you know, yeah, he sounds like Deadpool, so I'm down with that. You're down with that. That's right. It's sound like

Deadpool. Okay, let's say, um, oh, Sandy help me. What's, uh, give me a name. My brain's gone dead. Charzard. Good one. Charzard. All right. Show me. Charzard. Okay. Man, he'd make a mess.

You would. See, that's the one I wouldn't want, because I figure it'd just be torching everything all over the house. Right. So if I were, I'd want one that looks like that little thing in Fifth Element on the, what's his name's desk? And I think it's called, it reminds me of a Snorlax, I think, is the name. That is the name. Let's do, let's try Snorlax and see. All right.

Show me at like a very different size than the one on Zorn's desk. Show me a Snorlax. Now, see, Snorlax is my spirit animal, so I can totally down with that. Yeah. Why's that? They're massive. They wouldn't fit on Zorn's desk. Zorn's desk would fit on him.

Yeah. His gun would hit it easily because it's got that. Not one or two or three, but four. Where are my four guns? Four elements. All right. He's five. But he says it like that.

What does he do? Does he count all the way up to four and then say, not one or two or three or four, but five. Where am I five are? Yeah, you got it. That's it. That's how he did it. Yeah. Sandy, do you have another one that springs to mind?

I would go MUTU. MUTU. Good one. MUTU. Oh, nice. All right. Show me muteu. Oh, really?

I am shocked by that. People said MUTU. but it did not rank high enough on the list to... Are you sure they didn't say Me Too? Sure that wasn't? They said, me too. Hashtag Me Too. All right.

So let's now, you now, Brian. That was Brian's turn. Brian. Oh, it was my turn? Yeah. Name a Pokemon that you would want to own as a pet or that the Tad Pool would want to. Right. I gotten too comfortable.

I don't see, I don't see the one that people actually have pets of, and that's a squirrel. I mean, he's, he's kind of a pet. Listen, when the pipes freeze, it's a nice to. have a squirrel. Yeah. That's what I said. Show me, Squirtle.

Oh, number three. Three. Uh, why is that one yellow? That's weird. Because, uh, Oh, because Nunway got it. He got it, Scott.

Why is that? That's insulting. He's like, I haven't seen yellow yet. Why is that one? Oh, oh, because you suck. Yeah. All right.

Still your turn. Is it still my turn? Yeah, still your turn. I'm going to go with. I'm going to go with. It's called Nine-Tales, right? Isn't the name of that Foxy-looking thing with the Nine-Tales?

I don't know. I'm not telling you. I think it's called Nine-tails. Nine-tails. I literally have no idea. Show me, Nine-tails. Oh. Okay.

But you know what I'm talking about, right? No. Okay. There is a Nine-Tales. Yes. That's so cute. Look at it's got nine-tails. I think maybe one or two people said Nine-Tales.

I was going through my head. like where I've seen some Pokemon recently. And the most recently I've seen them is in like Smash Brothers. And what? Sandy, the little, the pink the pink ball one with ears.

Do you know the one I'm talking about? The one that thing? Maybe. You fight with them in Smash Brothers because he's like a oh. I had it. I had it. It came my brain and then ran the other direction. Wee.

Oh, uh, jiggly puff. Yes, that's what I was trying to give me. Jiggly puff. That's a good one. Jiggly puff. That's a good one. All right. Show me jiggly puff. Oh.

Everybody wants a jiggly puff. Everybody wants a jiggly puff. That's so low down the list. I don't like that. It is. Yeah. But you still have control. Okay.

Do I though? Do I? Bare. There are three answers still on the board. the 6th, 7th, and 9th And I'm pretty sure mathematically I don't have a chance Because 48 and 32 Yeah

We might need to somehow tweak this game even further to figure it out But I don't know Maybe it's the number of answers you get Or what if you just If you did change it to go back and forth Maybe weighted Yeah, right You could do a weight of it

Top three waited like for two points And second three with one point or something like that I didn't hear a word Scott said Scott sounded like you had a suggestion I was going to say if you went The other, if you went, I don't care about Scott's suggestions, they're stupid. If you went back or, sorry, if you went back and forth with questions, it would end up just being like a normal Babel Royale.

It would just be Babel, yeah, exactly. I don't know how you do it. I think maybe the number of answers you guys get right, but you're still mathematically eliminated. Thanks for that. Oh, magic, I want to do a magic harp. Sandy, you're all right with a magic carp? That's fine by me. Okay, I like a little sideways fish.

I'm into it. The little flippy, floppy, fishy, show me magic carp. Damn it. Oh, nobody wants to put a magic carp in a fish tank. Two people on the survey did say magic carp, but not enough to make it on the... Well, they were right.

Those people. They were right. Yeah. All right, back to you, Brian. You've got control. Well, I can imagine there's got to be some bird fans out there. How about a big old nice pidgy?

How would that do? Oh, sure. Pidgey. Too common. Why not? I'm not. show me pidgy

it's too common nobody wants that bird they're everywhere it's what your pet eats yeah it's uh his pidgeies

uh all right Wallace Sean just kidding he's not a Pokemon um well Sandy I don't have any of my head

do you have any others that jump out at you do you think maybe Mr. Mime oh Mr. Mime might work is it It is Mr. Mime, isn't it? I'm so bad of these names.

Yeah, we'll say, he'll say that. Mr. Mime. Let's say Mr. Mime. Show me Mr. Mime. Damn it. Nobody ever wants Mr. Mime. No, what I want Mr. Mime?

It's the Pokemon you can't get rid of once he gets in your house. Is he just, does he do like Mimes? He just won't leave. He's still sitting there doing miming things. So that is what he is, right? He's a little mimer guy. Okay. Yep.

All right. All right, Brian. You can win the game. Just kidding. But let's see if you've got, we've got three more answers. Let's see how you do. Taranitar. Oh, Taranitar.

Such a great meta, Pokemon, to have for so many different raids. Show me Taranitar. No. Too weird. Two out there, man. Two out there. No, pretty much everybody stuck in the, everyone's stuck in Gen 1, which is great. show me number six

Charmander so Charmander so we had Charisor The base level Speaking of base levels You were so close Brian Number seven Volpix

That's what turns into a nine-tails Yeah that's my that's my dirty That's my rated X That's my rated That's my rated porn streaming service I'm going to start called Volpix It's called Volpix You don't want to know what we focus on

I'm just saying Yeah, no, I can guess just from that name. Yeah, I'm just not going to say. We're going to keep it a surprise. Volvos is what you're going to focus on. The cars, the Swedish automobile. That's the one. Show me number nine.

Tiger Dog, Garleth. Gralith and Arcanine both came in on the list, but Growlith made it into the top ten. Yeah, people had, surprising how many people like Miaof, Mew, Rapidash, Al-A-Kazam. Articuno. It's funny that nobody picked like, I would pick aridactyl because great, you've got a pet that you can

ride. You can fly around on this. Oh, that's a good point. Yeah. You can. How long does the tadpool have to think about these? They have like infinite amount of time to think about it? They go to the survey, they can sit there and a couple of people even Googled and said, I had to look up

the name of this one. They actually put that in there in their answer. A few people said you know, things like Dennis I don't know why I was thinking it's like the real family feud I feel like the real family feud I always had this impression

that they had people with clipboards out in the street somewhere asking people on the spot Did they ever do that? How did they explain how they got their surveys? My guess is that they asked people as they came in for the in studio audience

basically when you came came in, you filled out a survey that they used for a later episode or for later episodes and I always keep that in mind when I'm watching Family Feud and that's the reason why I say things that come quick to the mind but not necessarily

are a good answer but here they wouldn't apply so that theory is totally blown out. I gotta stop using that. That's the reason why I said Pidgey because I'd be like some people would be like I don't know Pidgey, I don't know. Yeah that does seem like a thing on the street somebody would answer But I think Brian's right.

They probably just had the audience do it. And then they'd sandbag ahead of time. So they had plenty of them at the ready. But they never explained it. They just said, survey says. And so, yeah, I'm like you. In my head, I'm like, there's a guy at the mall with a clipboard. Don't talk to me.

I'm going to the freaking software, et cetera. I don't want to talk to you. Can I ask you a really weird question? Yeah. Can I ask you the strangest thing ever? What's your favorite potato? With sexual undertones? Can I kiss you?

Because I'm Richard, whatever's name is. Anyway. Well, there you go. That means one thing and one thing only. And this is what it means. Winner, winner. Chicken dinner. It means that Sandy has won. She deserved it. And we had clearly the most points. That means that these prizes are yours. All you got to do is email Brian. Coverville at gmail.com. He will hook you up with both your digital prize and your physical coffee prize. Congratulations. How do you feel? How do you feel about your big win? I feel really great. The first time I ever called in. I'm happy. I'm really happy to have you call in. Thank you for being here. It's Sandy, everyone. Have a great week. All right, as if we're going to see her next week. I don't know. Have a great week or however long it is until we talk to you again.

Yes, she seemed very nice. Brian Donneway, you also seem very, you seem very nice. What I wasn't going to say about you. Oh, we just did a, we did a boop show last night and had a great time. If you haven't heard it, you'll want to. So go get it wherever you get your podcast or check out the YouTube archive of the thing. Or you can just find all those details and information and direct subscription information over at frogdance.com slash B-O-O-O-P and tune in this weekend when he'll join us again for our little

I don't know what we're doing, but we'll look forward to that. I'm going to play some Valheim. Is it Valheim or Heem? I just like saying it Heem, even though I'm sure it's Valheim. I think it's Valheim, but yeah, Valheim is fun to say. Yeah. Have you played that yet or is this going to be your first crack into it? I have not played it yet, but there are some friends that I have, the set up servers, and I'm going to

hop on all of them and give them a try. Oh, private servers, I didn't realize. I didn't know they were doing that private server thing. That's cool. Oh, yeah. And Scott's, you know, he's doing the whole single player thing. I heard that's what he wants to do it. That's what I want to try. I want to see if that game couldn't, because I'm, I can't schedule around everyone else's schedule. I can never do that very well.

So if it's fun solo, I'm going to give it a shot. but that thing is like selling like freaking they're printing money over there like I don't know why that game is so popular two million copies already or something like that yeah yeah they recoup their dev costs in like a day and no one saw it coming it wasn't like highly anticipated it was just this thing out of nowhere and it's like killing it on the on steam charts so anyway I must know what's happening I must know but first we know us know how bad did Kim scare you when you were playing real nightmares really bad Was it, a little P came out. Yeah, a little P came out. Yeah. Yep. I had to. Nobody had that Twitch clip.

I saw other Twitch clips. That's the one I really wanted to see. Oh, it's there. Someone did. I don't know who had it. Yeah. J.K. grabbed that, right? Yeah, J.K. Graham or I think grabbed it.

And it's, and it's her coming up and gusing me from behind while I'm in the middle of it. So great. Repeatedly trying to kill those doll kids with the freaking ladle, Brian. You didn't warn me about this, done away. Oh, my God. They're so hard to kill. They're so hard to kill. They have this weird.

A reminder that you don't want to leave the show today early because later in the show today, we have the Canadian Accent Special TMS matchup. Oh, no. Yeah. Oh, gosh. All right. So, stick around. If I could think of a way to apologize ahead of time for that, if it was a word I could think of to use to apologize, I'd say it, but I can't. I know, I can't think of it either.

It's just not coming to me. But when it does, you'll know. that's later today on the show. For now, this. Good morning, good morning, everybody. In the news this morning, good morning. All right, let's do some news brought to you by. Between the Boop show last night and core tomorrow night,

And there'll be some bonus coverage of BlizzCon online with, let's see, Friday's opening ceremonies. We're going to do a co-stream with me. Garrett, Kyle Ferguson, and

Jocelyn Moffat will all be on there. Yeah. Very much looking forward to that. The dream team. The dream team. We don't even know what that looks like yet, so we're not even sure what it's going to be, but we're just going to be there. All right. So we're going to be there and see what happens. All right. Hey, look at this. There's a story about another Florida guy.

I didn't realize how many of the late recent stories are Florida stuff. I don't try to get this. God, I know. Is it just Florida is like all of a sudden? a little more active, spiked up. I don't know. It feels like we were getting a lot of that in the past, but now suddenly it's just like overwhelming. But here's a story that'll warm your hearts right around. It's now past Valentine's Day, but, you know, we're close enough. Man steals a ring from one Florida girlfriend to propose to his other girlfriend, according to deputies.

This is like one of those sitcoms where they're on a date and they have to go back and forth in the restaurant between two tables. Yeah, it's good stuff. That's what you want. Volusia County, Volusia? I think so. County, yeah. Did you, is there a paper there? Do you ever go there?

There might be a paper there. I don't know. There wasn't a paper called the Volusia County, something that I know of, but one of the cities that I went to may have been in Volusia County. Gotcha. I feel like I've been all over Florida, probably like six or seven different newspapers. You've been up and down America's weighing repeatedly, what you're saying. Fort Lauderdale. Yeah.

Yeah. Up and down. Oh, Daytona, then I have been. Yeah, then I've definitely been there because I, the Daytona Daily News. Daytona. Daytona Daily News. That's what sounds familiar. Maybe that's it.

Daytona. You guys know that song? Remember that? From the Daytona arcade game. No. Is that a song or is it just, is it just something that it says as soon as you play that game? No, it's like. There's a whole song?

Yeah, I got to play it now. I'm sorry, you guys. I have to play California. No, I like that. Arcade song. Here it is. All right, I'm going to play it,

and then you're going to love it. Here we go. It's called Let's Go Away, is the name of the song. And every, every, that game just started, it sort of demo before you put a quarter in,

it would play this. There you go. It's so bad. I hate it. Hey, your God, let's go away, let's go away. Let's go away. Yeah, let's go away. Oh, that's hilarious.

That's so bad. That's performed by a band that I'm guessing the lyrics are not in their native language. Just a guess. It feels like it, yeah. It's a little like, let's play Pac-Ban. It's like that guy. Right. Where is he?

You gave you your best effort. Oh, here he is. Activate. Pac-Man. Activate Pac-Bad. Let's play Pac-Man. All right. All right.

So this guy, he stole this ring, see? And it was for, it was for the one girl, but he got it from another girlfriend. They said they're looking for this man who gave this ring to the other lady. The love triangle began to unravel earlier this year when an orange city woman, they don't mean that she's from the city. An orange city woman. I don't know she might be It's not a descriptive word Yeah she could be

Yeah we don't want to judge I don't know maybe she is Orange Anyway she realized her boyfriend Was engaged to another woman Who lives in Orlando The Orange City girlfriend Looked through the finances

Facebook page And saw that she was wearing Her wedding band An engagement ring From her prior marriage In orange The orange, keep calling her The Orange City woman

Checked her jewelry box And discovered her old wedding rings were missing along with several other pieces of jewelry and a diamond ring which belonged to her grandmother. Deputy said in all it was about $6,270 worth of jewelry that was stolen from the Orange City Girlfriend. Orange City Girlfriend. They can't stop saying it.

That sounds like a song. It does. It sounds like the worst song. You're my Orange City Girlfriend. Who sings it? Who's the band? The band is Jimmy Buffett, of course. Oh, perfect.

Why not? I can hear it on the Vegas. strip already when I go past this place. Drinking coconut drinks with my Orange City girlfriend. Waring a Hawaiian shirt. Sitting on the beach. I hear it just out.

It's great. I don't think I'll go to work today. I'll just stay home with my Orange City girlfriend. All right. So this lady confronted her boyfriend about the thefts and began communicating with the fiancé.

so she'd get her stuff back. How did she find this person? It just says Facebook, but I assume that there's more to it than that. I mean, maybe she found him through, I don't know. She doesn't, I don't say. Interesting. The man told the woman his name was Marcus Brown or Joe Brown, but really his name was Joseph L. Davis. That's not Brown at all.

No. A convicted felon who has wanted on a hit and run charge out of Oregon. She's Louise, this guy. Wow. A winner. Yeah. I'm glad they figured it out now. It's better now than later.

Anyway, that's a mess. And they've become best friends. And now they have their own sitcom. All right. Let's move on to this story. It actually does feel like a sitcom premise. A little bit. Yeah.

Or a bad movie I don't want to see, you know. Oh, yes. Catherine Heigel and, who'd be the other woman, Kristen Bell. There you go. And then the dude would be played by. by Ashton Coocher. Okay. Perfect.

Okay, good. We've done it. And it's called Orange City Girlfriend. Orange City Girlfriend. Coming direct to streaming this summer. Yeah. Speaking of which, speaking to Catherine Hegel, my wife's really into that new Netflix show that she's on.

I don't know what that is. There's a new Netflix show featuring Catherine Heigel. Her and the girl from Scrubs, can't hear her name either now. Sarah Chalk? Yes. I don't know. Is it Sarah Chalk?

I don't know. Well, there were multiple women on scrubs. There were many women on scrubs. She was the main one, though. She played, she had a boy's name. She was the, right, she wasn't the wife of the, of, uh, his boss. The girlfriend of the girlfriend of what's his name's on and off. Yeah, Sarah Chalk.

Right. Okay. That's her. The replacement, Becky. Yes. She's, uh, the blonde doctor says the chat. Yeah. Oh my gosh. That's crazy. That show is just already crushed city for me because I had a thing for both Catherine Hegel and Sir Chalk. If you tell me that Zoe Day Chanel appears in this thing, Scott, I will just explode. Just her bangs. That's all. Mr. Bings. Lester Bangs? Just her bangs.

Lester Bangs is in it. Lester Bangs? Firefly Lane is what this thing is called? Yeah. My wife loves it. It's like, in their top 10, so clearly other people love it, I find it to be, well, it is exactly what you probably think it is. It's these two women who are now in their 40s, trying to deal with all the things that are about being in your 40s, but they jump back in time to when their teenagers, played by different actresses, and they grew up in the 70s. The modern day stuff is set in the early 2000s, like 03 or something. So it's not even set now. It's set like 18 years ago. So I googled it.

And the third thing that comes up is a review from Kristen Hanna's website. She says, Firefly Lane is for anyone who ever drank Boone's Farm Apple Wine while listening to Abba or Fleetwood Mac. That's kind of it. That's all I needed to know. Yeah. That's kind of it. She really likes it.

It's not really my jam, but I can, I know why she likes it. It's fine. It's fine. It's probably not for me, though. It looks a little gossip girl Gilmore girls Or just plain girls A little bit

It's more like I don't know how to describe it It's weird The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Kind of it's a chick series Yeah It's just Dice Tomato says it's very lifetime series

That's that I don't know if that's fair It's this is higher brow than that but it's not, it's a bigger, it's a better production than that would ever be, but it's still pretty. They're just, it's like,

this could be a movie. This is a two-hour movie stretched out into a series. That's what it is. God. Yeah, I don't think I could do it. No matter how, how much I crush on Sarah Chalk and Catherine Hegel,

I don't think I can do it. I'll just go watch, knocked up and, yeah, there you go. And Rick and Morty, and I'll get my Sarah Chalk and Catherine Heigle. They got a fake Vajajay in that knocked up.

Remember that? Do you remember that scene? No, I don't, actually. How can I not remember that scene? Oh, to me, it's vivid. They're in the, they're in the room, the birthing room there, and you got your, uh, what's his name? I can't think it was his name. Seth Rogen. Seth Rogen's in there. And, uh, she's, she's given the birth and stuff and, and, uh, they do a, for whatever reason they thought it'd be funny to do a close-up shot of her, uh, of her, uh, of her berth in, uh, space. And, uh, it's a, it's a little faker thing. It's like a little, uh, you know, little split open thing with a baby head popping out of it. You don't remember this?

I remember being shocked by it all the time. I don't know why I don't remember this. It's like. Yeah, I remember being shocked by that. Yeah, I'm trying to think of what I do remember from that movie. And there are things in that movie that I think are from the 40-year-old virgin that I'm pretty sure. Yeah, or some other Apatow thing. Like, what Apatow movies am I mixing up?

Right, exactly. Yeah. There's like, does it take place in a Best Buy? Am I thinking of the right movie? No. Is it? a chat room saying um i'm that they know they don't remember this i'm 100% sure it happened but maybe it was a like unrated cut or something like yeah right we got some dbd copy or something i didn't

i didn't like that movie tmas mashups remembers it oh well he remembers all maybe it was all the gines he remembers um well uh was i was i going to say about something you just said because it was i thought it was there was a good point there you said you said old virgin uh uh uh a Steve Carell. I was before that. Catherine Hegel, Firefly, Ling. Oh, I know what it was.

Sorry, it was the Chad who said it. And I was thinking it was you for some reason. Chat asked if I'd seen this virgin river of Kim had. Yes, she loves that also. It's like that. I don't know how to explain these things. They're just these,

they're soapy. Is it like Emily and Paris? Maybe. I don't remember that. Was that a thing? That's a thing. Yeah. That's another new Netflix series that looks like something.

that Tina liked it. I don't think I'm watching it. Yeah, it's not my jam. But I understand, I'm not, no judgment. You know, you like what you like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, if you like you exactly, more for you. If you like that, good. Then you should eat all, it's all you can eat.

Have all you want. That's the streaming world we live in. We also live in a world where we're going to take a quick break and play a song, and then we're going to bring Tom in, and we've got Nicole. We're going to have all kinds of fun. So stick around after this song that you brought. I brought this. This is really cool.

So back in November, an artist named Decker, D-E-K-K-E-R, spelled like Desmond Decker or Dockin, if you like those two Ks together. Back in November, he released an album called Slow Reveal, and he's re-releasing it with a bunch of extra bonus tracks. So it's getting a little bit more attention again,

and as it should, because it's really good. This is one of the first singles he released from the album back in November. He never played it on indie in the middle, so we're doing it now. It is called The Love. Here is Decker. a song about our

arms oh we're faking I hope it's not about us I put myself on a train at the Lord with my feet up the brown and I'm out and the dance how I bleed

I'll give it all for love All of my breathful love I want to run. I want to run it with love. Take me and I want to know the whole love. Take me and I want to know the whole love. I'm making I know it's all about love No mistake can't let me and I'll bring the love

I put myself on a chair Like the Lord with my feet Off the ground and bound And the nails how I'll bleed Now take me down from this tree Take me down to release Take me home I'm going to leave.

I want to live. I want to share in the love. Oh, man, remember being a kid? Remember eating sugar cereal? Like it was no big deal? Well, those days are gone. Holy crap. I've been trying to get that on carbs,

I know it's an old thing to ask now. We've been asking it since, like, the early aughts but do you think we'll ever get a book six is that ever going to happen oh no no you don't think i think we are because uh they said he's he's been uh writing over over quarantine he did he did say he made a lot more progress this past year than he's made uh in a lot of years i don't know what that means listen i think it's more likely comes out with his next album chinese democracy yeah and duke newcomb forever before he comes out with uh yeah yeah i i lose nothing by expecting it to never come out except uh i i do add surprise and delight if it ever does so i just yeah i'm not i'm done

I never expected that. I'm so excited. All right. Well, I'm excited also to hear about technology.

And Tom Scour is the world for that stuff in the mornings for Daily Tech News show. What's happening today? Yes, indeed. Well, one of the things there's a lot happening, of course, always is. But one of the things is, YouTube announced a bunch of stuff. Tell me if any of this surprises and delights you. Okay. YouTube shorts coming to the United States in March. Don't know what that is. Sounds like short films.

What size is it can be offered in? Yeah, not YouTube briefs. YouTube shorts. It is a TikTok-like feature. 15-second videos. And it's on mobile. So you get tools for adding music and editing clips together.

It's got three and a half billion views in India, uh, mostly because India is blocking TikTok. Uh, so TikTok has taken a bit of a hit there to the point that the TikTok's actually looking to try to sell its Indian arm, uh, because India doesn't look to be relenting on that anytime soon. But, uh, YouTube's like, let's bring it to the US. So what I want to know from YouTube is on a scale from Facebook lasso, uh, which is no longer with us to Instagram Reels, where you think YouTube shorts is going to fall? Oh, this is really interesting

question. I mean, can't you already make a YouTube video short? I mean, not hand. You can. All going to be a different delivery of it, right? I will not, yes, I will not prevent you from having your moment of shouting Freud, but

you you do get it, you do make it easier with this. Like this makes it easier. It's like design, like TikTok is. It's designed like to make it easy to make a 15 second. And probably because you get the editing tools. You get the music library. You get the editing tools.

So it really is that. It's, yeah, all right. Yeah. Now, knowing that that's their plan is just, this is mostly about a delivery mechanism so that it's easy for people to do. It's the same thing that Reels did. My big question is how much market share do they capture? But then I realize, even if they just get a micro,

chunk of what's potential for like the amount of people that use TikTok if they just get a piece of that that represents a huge amount of exposure and money like that's a TikTok is killing it there's a reason everyone's doing these there's a reason like companies like this do this so it's easy for me to get cynical and go come up with your own ideas or whatever whatever but honestly like this is a trend that they can't afford probably not to do something with right like i i agree uh i don't think this will be as much of a failure as lasso uh youtube does have a bit of a better track record i mean for every youtube gaming there there's another feature that they've added that stuck around and worked um but i i do feel like this

strikes me more as youtube gaming which is like let's do twitch and then they realize oh we could we could just do gaming on youtube we don't need to have a whole separate effort uh i feel like maybe the tools for this stick around as a as a perk for creators but the magic of TikTok is in the algorithm right and while YouTube is famous for an algorithm it's famous for its algorithm radicalizing you into an extremist whereas TikTok is famous for its algorithm making you happy and enjoy puppies and skateboard right yeah like in a lot of ways that's absolutely true so it I think you're probably probably right they'll make a lot of hullabaloo about it the initial stages of it and then people will use it to a certain extent and then it will just

kind of become part of the YouTube tool set for like shorter form video right yeah because they're breeding their bread and butter's and meat and potato their thing is still long for well not long form but whatever just go and watch video on demand on YouTube in the area you want to watch it in like whatever you're whatever you're looking for that's what you go get like they already have what they are and to try to force square peg into a round hole a little bit with a whole new way of using YouTube is a little screwy. And I think that's true of Reels also. Like Reels just annoy me. I look at those on Instagram and I just go, well, that just feels like a fifth tire on your car. Like it's weird to me. Now, I know people are using it and

it's happening. And again, even if they get a percentage, they have to do it. That's what you do with these trends. I get it. But I can't use Reels because Reels just feel like, well, first of all, most of the Reels I see are reposted TikTok. videos with TikTok logos on it. So that's kind of annoying. Let's we forget fleets. Fleets have not gone away. Fleets.

Yeah, fleets have really killed it, man. What a huge popular thing that is. Interestingly, it took me 15 seconds to remember the term fleets. Well, irony. Oh, you could have done a YouTube, what are they called? What's the name? YouTube shorts. Short, you could have made a YouTube shorts if you were remembering fleets.

Yes. And then done a fleet. to be going, it's, uh, reminds, rhymes a tweet. Oh, fleets. Yeah, right. Every once in a while, I'll run the Twitter app and see up top, see, see, see them and go, oh, yeah, right, that's a thing people do. And, uh, our good pal Patrick likes to use it.

Um, but of the, of the four, let's see, how many people do I follow? Of the, um, however many I follow, 1,400 people or something. There it is. So, what, 1,171 people I follow. Somehow today there are only four fleets from everybody. Yes, because only the most quality. quality content. There's a big curating process.

Yes, yes, exactly. So, Wayne, if they announced out, what else did they do? Because it sounds like there's more going on at YouTube than just these than just shorts. I guess the thing that could make YouTube shorts a little more than the parsley on the meat and potatoes of YouTube is India. The fact that India doesn't have TikTok. I mean, India may unblock TikTok at some point. It doesn't look like that happening anytime soon. So the driving of it in India may keep.

them developing it, which would keep it around in the United States and other markets, which you know, so that that might drive it into evolving into something unique and different. Yeah, well, we'll see what happens with that. Good luck, YouTube. Unique and different. Those are two different things. Yeah, those are unique and different from each other. Yeah. Those two words. All right, cool. And they had other stuff to announce as well. Oh, yeah. A few other things. YouTube TV is getting 4K streaming for some of its content,

offline viewing for some of your recordings and unlimited concurrent streams at home. Oh. So no limit on your home streaming as long as you're all on the same network and it can tell that. It'll let you have as many streams going as you want. YouTube Kids is going to get the ability

to add individual channels and videos that aren't in YouTube kids. So if you're a parent and you're like, well, it's okay for them to watch this gaming channel even though it's not in kids, you can approve it. You can say like, go ahead and let that into my kids,

YouTube kids. Oh, I'm all about that parental stuff like that. That's cool. Parental control. And then a bunch of

e-commerce stuff. They have a beta thing right now where you can do some in-video buying of beauty and electronics. They're going to expand that. There's something called applause tipping.

Sounds like a very twitch-type thing where you buy hands clapping and they show up on the video for a little bit of money. The creator gets a cut. New playlist discovery features on YouTube music. And YouTube VR getting improved,

accessibility search and navigation interesting so youtube they're back and now in pog for don't call it a comeback youtube poggers that'd be wonderful all right well that's fascinating news uh more great stuff like this is always on the daily tech news show every single day except for uh saturdays and sundays uh but but that's when tom goes into hibernation and and his brain recharges, and then he comes back and blows our minds again for the next following week. So that's how that works. He's a robot man.

Hey, Tom, anything else going on right now that you're doing that people might be interested in? Oh, sure. I love talking to folks over the email, the electronic mail. I'm old-fashioned like that. Like our forefathers, I talk on the email. And so I've got an email newsletter. Every week I send out an email talking about some of my thoughts, some of the things that I've done.

And mostly like, here's what I was doing this week. If you're interested, here's what I'm planning on doing. And you can respond to that email. And I will likely respond back unless there's just really no, nothing to respond to. But yeah, free tom newsletter.com is a place where you get it. That sounds amazing. And yeah, Dicemeo, thanks for a reminder. Today's Nintendo direct day.

We'll see if they do anything that makes the tech news. We never know from Nintendo. Maybe they'll announce something big. Maybe they won't. Maybe they won't. Tom, have a fantastic day. We'll see you later. All right.

We're going to announce a new Pokemon called Dennis. Dennis, the Pokemon. What's his power? Everyone will want to have one. What is he based, Brian? Is he, uh, he's, uh, he's, uh, he's, uh, he's, so basically he's, yeah, he's, just what I want. He is a weakness to paper towels, but he's, uh, double strong against, uh, sleepiness. Oh, that's fantastic.

This is good news, everybody. Third gen or whatever. What generation are we on right now? Uh, gen. Gen 7 just came out in Pokemon Go, but I think the actual game is up to like 9 or 10 or... Oh, my Lord. That's a lot. All right.

It's a lot. Well, on that note... There is a lot of talk of what's coming from this Nintendo? There's something I heard today. What was the rumor? Oh, that they're going to finally show off that Breath of the Wild sequel, which I'm very excited about. Hey, look who it is. It's Nicole Spag.

Oh, hi. Did we what? Hi, hi. Did you have a Mario party for the release of 3D Mario World? No, but I saw yours. That looked like your mask and everything. That was great. All right.

Let me just give you behind the scenes of what parenting's really like here. Okay. It was great at first, but eventually evolved to me yelling. Wow. At the kids. Wow. And cry. play Call of Duty back in the day.

We'd play Call of Duty, and Nicole by the end would be yelling at us. That's how it worked. Playing 3D Mario World with a 5-year-old, not the best idea because the 5-year-old just wants to run ahead while we're all behind. And we're like, stop, Eva, stop. Yeah, I always forget that that game's got like even four-player support because I only played it ever solo and I had it on the Wii, and now again, I'm playing it solo on my Switch. And I just never think of it as a multiplayer game.

must be aggravating to have oh my god not better you have people not working together on that thing and then Mateo's Eva and I'm like I'm done and I walk away that's the end of that well more of a more of a Mario Pity party that picture even though the picture looks cute it's it's all misery and sadness

and crying and cupcakes there's always there's always a story there's always a story I still think it's cool that you do that stuff though You go all out for that stuff is awesome, though. I love that. Yeah. I don't know if they'll remember that or me yelling. We'll see when they get to therapy.

Yeah. Yeah. When that all comes out in 20 years, it'll be great. Hey, look at this, guys. It's recommendals time. We talk about stuff we've seen on streaming services. And, man, Brian and I are stacked today. We both have two quick, sorry, two each.

I have one. For a total. And then Nicole's one. So five today. Man, oh, man. Let's get through these. Yeah, let's get yours first, Brian. Do you have a setup for number one here?

I'm hoping. I don't think either of you guys recommended this, although it feels like it might have been something you'd recommend. It came out last year. So it's been around for a while, and I'm hoping. I did a search through the Recommendals Twitter and didn't see it, so I'm hoping that that's the case.

All right. Well, here it is. It's okay. Here's a clip. The Democratic Party is going to end up nominating Hubert Humphrey next month in Chicago. And when it comes to the war, when it comes to social justice, there is simply not enough of a difference

between Hubert Humphrey and Richard Nixon to make a difference. And so we're going to Chicago. Young people, by busloads, will go to Chicago to show our solidarity and are disgust. But most importantly... To get played by someone you just met. 536,000 of us sent to a country, not one of these bumper sticker patriots in Washington

could find on a map. with a motherfucking mat. We're going to Chicago. Anyone who stays in the park sings what he got three, they're going to be fine. But the cops, cops are going to be a half inch from losing their fucking minds

because Daly's going to wind him up to make sure of it. We're going to Chicago peacefully. We're going peacefully. But if we're met there with violence, you better believe that we're going to meet that violence with non-violence. That's that, yeah,

Sasha Baron Cohen thing. that is the trial of the Chicago 7. Oh, I was going to say 6. I left off one. It must have been Sasha Bearer Cohen. Could have been the Chicago 8 according to part of this part of the movie. This is so

good. It's Aaron Sorkin came out in September and you heard Eddie Redmayne the first voice you heard. Then as you know, yeah, you did hear Sasha Baron Cohen. Jeremy Strong who plays the most business savvy brother

on Succession, almost unrecognizable with a big bushy beard. Oh, weird. You've also got Mark Rylance, who is fantastic. John Carroll Lynch, Franklin Jella, Joseph Gordon Levitt. I mean, it is an all-star cast, and it talks about the 1968 Democratic National Convention where it was the site of this big protest, and it kind of incited into a riot. And yes, this movie came out in September of last year. Oh, man.

Did it really? Well, I read that I read that they pushed this out fast because they wanted to get ahead of the election. Like there was the, they released it early. Oh, they wanted to, they wanted to make a, get the political crowd going. Yeah. Yeah. It makes sense because this absolutely, absolutely feels like there's so many weird tie-ins to the 2020 election. But it talks about these seven people who were kind of plucked out of the crowd as inciting this riot.

And you kind of find out through the way it's told. The majority of the film takes place in court, but then you kind of get these flashbacks and these stories as they get unfolded in the trial. It's so good. It's so well done. And I had no idea until we started watching it. many of these people, you know, how many people were in at them, like, oh, my God, that's Joseph Gordon-Levett, had no idea, you know, it didn't know going into it, all the, the big cast. It's, um, uh, it's great. It's on Netflix, the trial of the Chicago 7. It's got, you kind of

heard that in the beginning where it's cutting from different people speaking. Yeah. And connecting it. It's got kind of that, um, the big short kind of feel to it in places. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I like that. It's humor with the intent of setting things up. Because they talk to the camera too, right? No, no, not at all. Do they talk to the, oh, they don't, they don't break the wall? They don't break the fourth wall.

But no, it's, but it is really, really good. Does anyone wear a Borat onesie? Does that happen at all? So, Sasha Bear and Cohn plays Abby Hoffman. And no, at no time does he wear a borat onesie, sadly. That's too bad. My wife. Very nice.

all right nice one so let's get to my second one here's your clip or any setup or just play another movie and yeah I'm not going to tell anything about this because you might get it just from the the audio all right here we go

what did I do that was so terrible I guess I shouldn't have said that thing about the cabinet in front of Tugwell but since when does anybody care what I have to say those things just pop out in my mouth and the moment they do I feel like Like you got caught

Jean-Zon-Lay No Well Do you always Just say whatever you think You're blushing Am not Art too

I can see it Even in the dark Well what can I tell you Mank Marion Doris Went to convent school Hatter That's a big clue right there What's a gossip

commonness around this? I don't know what this is. I hate shop talk. I never know what's going on. This is that Mank thing. The Mink. Yeah, you set it right there in the clip. I didn't edit it out. It's Mank all about Herman Mankowitz,

who was the guy that they brought in. He was a writer in Hollywood 40s, 30s and 40s, and he was brought in to do the screenplay for Citizen Kane and work with Orson Wells on it. and he's an alcoholic. He just like it says in that clip, he says whatever is on his mind.

And that helps him and hurts him and kind of gets him into a battle with Meyer, one of the heads of MGM, Metro Golden Meyer, Louis B. Meyer, and kind of also endears him a little bit to William Randolph Hearst, who he kind of ends up basing the screenplay of Citizen Kane, on in not a favorable way.

This is a David Fincher film. He's actually been wanting to, he wrote the script for this in the 90s, and so it's finally coming out. Actually, David Fincher's dad wrote the script in the 90s. Oh, no way. That's cool. And David Fincher wanted to release it or do it after the game

with Kevin Spacey in the Gary Oldman role, and Seafreed's role will be played by. by Jody Foster, but it finally came out now. This is, here's the thing to prepare for. And I think they do this because Citizen Kane is told in the same jumbled pulp fiction kind of jumping around from time to time kind of thing. This is also told in this kind of jumping from flashbacks to flash forwards to here to there. And once you're aware of it and once you're used to it, it makes. perfect sense and it doesn't

it doesn't get confusing but um black and white right is the black and white black and white totally black and white and white and not just black and white but oh my god it feels like it feels like a movie from the 1940s it's got that like the the style of the title cards and the way it introduces its actors and things like that it's it's really good um yeah both of these are

golden globe nominees and so that's kind of where we're We're heading into watching stuff that is nominated, thinking it might become Oscar as well. Oscar nominees as well. Is he going to, you're going to see him get nominated again, do you think, for best actor? I could easily see Gary Oldman get nominated for this. Gary Oldman, Amanda Seafried, Charles Dance is William Randolph Hearst, so Taiwan Lanister. kind of just as maybe a little bit less evil than Taiwan Lancaster, but he's still really, really good.

It's excellent. And it's one that because of the jumping around that it does, it's probably another one where you've got to close the iPad and just watch it and not get distracted by anything. All right. Well, there you go. High recommendation for Mank. Yes.

Now, I'll throw in a really quick meh commendation. because of its Golden Globe nomination, we also watched Ratchet, a Ratchet, which is the story of Nurse Ratchett. How did that get nominated? Exactly. How? It shouldn't. Seriously. Yeah.

It feels like one of the bad seasons of American Horror Story. So if you haven't seen it yet, you probably don't need to. Don't watch it just based on its nomination. I'll just say that. Yeah. All right. I thought about poking into there, but I'm not going to now. Just watch American Horror Story. I'm sure you're not caught up like me. Find one of the good seasons and watch one of the good seasons of American Horror Story. Sounds good to me.

All right. Those are my recommendations. Well done. Here's my first one. It's a movie. It's on Netflix. Here it is. I'm fluent in Latin and Greek, of course. And beyond those, I have an intimate knowledge of the romance tongues, Italian, friends. Spanish, Catalan, and to a lesser degree Portuguese, Vodois, Provincial, and other dialects. In the Teutonic branch, I am familiar with the German, Dutch, Danish, and Flemish. I've specialised in Anglo-Saxon and Meso-Gothic and have prepared works for publication on both these languages.

I also have a useful knowledge of Russian. I have sufficient knowledge of Hebrew and Syria to read at sight the Old Testament and the Peshito and to a lesser degree Aramaic, Arabic, Arabic, Coptic and Phoenician, to the point where it was left by Giacenius. Forgive me rattling on. I'm sure you have questions. All right.

Any ideas? I hear a little Irish or Scottish? Scottish. Scottish. It's the Billy Connolly story. I don't know what that is. Finally, the Billy Connolly story can be told. All right, this is called.

I don't know. My brain hurts just listening to all that. That was your boy, Mel Gibson. Oh, wow. Okay. He is in a new, newish film called The Professor and the Madman. Actually came out in 2019, technically. This is a co-star Sean Penn. And it's a movie about, it's basically a biographical drama that is all about the guy who started the Oxford Dictionary.

Oh, wow. How we got it done and how we got it done with the help of a guy who was like just, mentally ill to the 10th degree, played by Sean Penn, was in jail or in prison for killing a dude. There's a whole sub-story with the wife of the dude that was killed. She's played by Natalie Dormer, who's awesome in this. Speaking of Game of Thrones. Yeah, it's fantastic.

I really liked it. I like period piece films. I like biographical, historical movies. This isn't, you know, action-packed and, you know, full of, you know, nonstop, witty, pithy, whatever. It's a very, you know, plays it very straight. But I like movies like this. And this really scratched that edge for me.

I liked it a lot and would highly recommend it. It's called The Professor and the Madman. And it's available on Netflix. Netflix. All right. Cool. I thought Mel Gibson was really good in it. And this is a film's made by Farad Safenia.

I'm not sure who that is. Sometimes it goes under the name P.B. Sherman. or Sharon. Anyway, super interesting stuff. It was shot in Dublin a long time ago in 2016. But there was this big legal battle between Gibson, the director, voltage pictures, a bunch of people ended up delaying the release until 2019. And by the end of that, there was like some, I don't know if it was disowning,

but basically the director and Mill Gibson were so pissed. They just didn't want anything to do with it, which I find so weird because it's really good. It's very well made. um i loved it so anyway oh that's and that's why the egos yeah he basically didn't want to be recognized for directing or co-writing the film so he took the suit and mb shimran yeah that must be why he used it yeah wow so he's it's i don't know like the movie i can't tell what's wrong with it if there's something wrong i don't know what it is because it seems really well produced made directed acted uh sean penn's great in it like he isn't everything

I thought it was just awesome. It's funny because the legal issues seem even really vague. Among other things, it was alleged that voltage pictures refused to schedule a critical five days of filming in Oxford and that the director was denied Final Cup privileges. And that's what the legal battle was for. But apparently it just really must have spiraled or done something weird. Exactly. And maybe Mel Gibson was a pain in the ass.

I don't know. He may have been. What him? Come on. knows. I really like him when he's acting. He's such an a-hole in real life. If only we could carbon freeze him between roles and just thaw him out whenever he needs to act. Yeah, I think that'd be great. But he's so compelling in this role. I thought he was great.

And that accent is, you know, he's pulled right out of freaking Braveheart. It's like the same accent. But anyway, that's number one. Number two is this one. It's also on Netflix. And it's one I meant to see back when it came out in 2016. I didn't. So I watched it here. Here you go. Hey, this is David. Bro, you want to hear something totally f***ed up? Merry Christmas, Effie. It's Christmas? That's why nobody's here. I was about to fire the entire office.

Anyway, when I was over there, I was talking to our boy, Bashkin. Did you know his uncle? Works at the Albanian Defense Ministry? No, I didn't know that. Well, he does. So I said, you know, it'd be interesting to me, Bashkham. I'd be curious to know what Henry is paying Albanians for the AK ammo. Ephraim.

Do you know what he found out? That mother f*** is paying two and a half cents around. Okay. Is that war dogs? It's war dogs. Jonah Hill. Yeah. Jonah Hill and Todd Phillips.

Or no, I'm sorry, Miles Taylor. Teller is his name. Oh, Miles Taylor. Drum faster. Yeah, that guy. Steve Lance is also in this. There's also a, I wouldn't call it a cameo. It's bigger than that, but it's a very small role with Rocket Raccoon.

I can't have who his name. Bradley Cooper is in there plays a real psycho anyway it's all about it's based on a true story of these two 20 somethings who grew up together who end up going to business together to sell arms to the U.S. government and they have to like kind of fake that they're big and that they're worthy of this contract and all this stuff they end up traveling all over the world to make it happen and doing some really shady stuff to get it done and I quite liked it. It's it's impossible to watch it though and not go man did you just take a Scorsese template and make your movie from the template like the movie plays like Goodfellas it's it's narrated by the my the Miles teller character in the way that you would watch Goodfellas and hear it narrated by what's his name um and it kind of jumps between scenes with that narration it's got that same kind of beat music that they use it's all very very uh very similar to like like a Scorsese movie, casino or Goodfellas or whatever. Now, aside from that, though, where it just, that sort of just feels lifted, I think it's pretty good. There's moments that are funny. Most of it is just like, oh, man, the freaking business of war is gnarly and gross.

And I kind of hate that. Wasn't there a John Cusack movie? Similar, yeah, something, uh, war. Are you thinking of Lord of, Lords of War? Lord. Lords of War, yeah. Yeah, but that was, um, that was, that was, Nick Cage, wasn't it?

I remember, what am I thinking of? Was it? No. I thought it was. There was another one that is like that. That I think is a, it's a, maybe I get it's not, it's not his, uh, gross point, blank character, but it's, um, Lords of War was Nick Cage. Yeah, it was a good.

Lord of Wars, Nick Cage, Jared Leto, a bunch of other guys. That's a very similar thing, though. Like the, the, this one's interesting just because of the fact that it's based on a two story. They take some liberties, obviously. I will say this. Jonah Hill is really good. That guy is great.

Like, he gets, what was he not in? War, Inc. War, Inc. I knew there was a Q-Sack movie. Her yelling, War, Inc is ruining her internet. I know. He's saying, War, Inc. War, Inc. Yeah, War Inc is the one you're thinking of.

I'm sure all these movies share whatever, but I think Jonah Hill's amazing in this. That's the reason to see it. I think he's great in pretty much everything, but, and he always plays such unlikable A-holes, right? Like, that's kind of his thing. But he's really good at it. I don't know. He was pretty great in

the movie with the Redhead. Oh, yeah, the Redhead. I recommend it. Manic, I think it was called. Oh, the Netflix weird little mini-series. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't see that. I really liked it.

So this is back when Jonah Hill was still like 300 pounds or something. And he's lost a lot of weight since then. And there's something I really miss about his bravado as a big man. It's hard to explain. There's something about his acting when he's big that's different than when he's not big. And that's not great because he's healthier now and that's where it should be. But anyway, I really liked it. And it's not, this is definitely kind of a, you know, it's a little hard.

edge it's not this isn't for the kids this movie at all um but you think yeah not at all but it's it's it's interesting todd phillips directed it he's he's kind of an interesting director co-wrote it as well so anyway there's that those are mine uh Nicole we're to you now all right so I don't know if this is a recommendal oh wow but we watched it Ava and I watched it I'm gonna give you the clip it's on HBO Max HBO has been pushing this. It just push, push, push. And so I was like, well, it looks like a kid's movie.

Let's watch it, Ava. She cried. Oh, I'll say that. All right. She cried in it. Interesting. All right. It made her scared.

Oh, I see the, because I have to hit play. I have to see the name. I figure you what. It's, uh, is that, okay, well, I'll talk about it. Hang on. Yeah. Here we go. Sadly, I saw it too.

It's playing. Is it playing? Here we go. Erica, you haven't ever wished a family would adopt you. Have you? Nope. Anybody who choose me would be pretty unusual. We'll take this one.

For the first time in my life, I'm being made to do something I don't want to do. Now then, let's you and I get a few things straight. My name is Bella Yaga. I'm a witch. Great. All right. So this is their first CGI movie from the studio Ghibli.

Ghibli. Ghibli. So I'm not familiar with studio Ghibli. Ghibli. Ghibli. I don't know. I even went to their, I went to their friggin museum studio thing in Japan

and I still don't know how to pronounce it. Oh, so this is this movie is 3D animation and if you look at the comments everybody's so disappointed in a 3D animation I whatever this is called earwig and the witch

Yeah Irwig and the angry witch That's kind of what I thought when I started it and I was like What is this? It's about a little girl named Earwig but she doesn't know her name is Earwig because her mother who is a witch

drops her off at an orphanage and the orphanage renames her Erica Whig. And it's about the story of the little girl in the orphanage

and she gets adopted by another witch and her adventures and it's very fractured at times and the storytelling isn't so good and in fact

I got to the end I'm like that's it? Like it was it was not a satisfying ending to me. That's interesting because they're famous for some incredible things, like Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Monica, okay, you know, spirit away. Yeah, exactly.

Delivery service. Yeah. And there were times where I did, it just didn't make sense. I'm like, I don't understand what, how did, is this just a coincidence? Is there more to the story? What's the deal with the mom? She just left the baby. We don't find out anything.

My problem is, the minute I see it, I go, was this made in 1993 before Toy Story? Like, it looks. It does. Yeah, the CGI doesn't look like. It looks bad. It's not that good. Yeah, it's not that. Like five years ago, CGI.

Yeah. That was such a thing that worried me because I saw the trailer and I'm like, oh, well, I like, you know, I like Studio Ghibli. I like Miyazaki. And I guess his son did this. But this worried me so much. And I'm, it has like a really, really bad rating. It's like two out of ten. Like, I didn't look.

So, Ava and I were watching this. She was kind of getting, because there's like weird music integration into it. Like, her mom's in a rock band. And I'm not going to tell you all of it. So really is Head Wigan the Angry Inch. It kind of is, a little bit. So there's a scene where the little girl is getting back at Bella Yarga. And scared the crap out of Ava.

Oh, really? She makes a voodoo doll and she puts hands, arms on her head and on her butt and it happens and Ava's like, what? She's screaming.

I'm like, it's okay, it's okay. No butt touching. Well, no, the head's coming out of the woman's or the arms coming out of the head and it was just, it was, I had to like, fast forward and we got to a better thing. and that's so funny i thought you're going to say oh she cried because there was this sad sad thing but no it's no it was like crying because it was trauma that is that that that honestly

sounds very jibbly to me ghibly to me because they're like that furniture barfing thing and spared it away and like all their movies are got have something in it's like oh what am i even looking at here like it's always this weird thing so it sounds like that's it carries there's weird there's a lot of weirdness to it i mean It wasn't like I hated the movie. I just felt like very, like it was short. I got short it. Like tons of plot holes, didn't make sense.

Like, all of a sudden, mom's here. I'm like, what? And then movie ends. So, weird. And it just, yeah, it was, it's okay. All right. So it's a semi-recommishing it. You're really pushing this movie.

So I'm like, We'll watch it. So it's like, I didn't hate it, but I also didn't love it. There's just such, you know, and it's probably part of, part of it is there's just so, such high hopes for another film from the studio, right? Like, you know, I don't, I went into it. No, no, no, no. I mean, I mean, that's probably got a lot of the hate.

Oh, yeah. Not yours. Oh, guaranteed. Probably why a lot of people are disappointed in it. Yeah. Oh, guaranteed. Like, if you go inside unseen and you have a decent, okay time, but you're not really sure. people who go in with like a love for Miyazaki's work

are going to walk away pissed you know they're going to be way more mad because they have expectations that have been met in the past and this one just doesn't do it for people well I'm not going to watch it because that'll bum me out I know I'll go I'll go watch Everybody wanted it to be a TV Or Castle of Sky or Totero or something like that

But I did I did watch Wendy's recommendation Oh yeah I can't always get it wrong. If and only if, if and only or in and of itself. Oh my God. I always get it wrong. It's a terrible title. If and only if you watch.

Will you see an elephant? It's such a terrible title. No, it's an old saying though. It's like it's a thing. I just forget it each time. I Google if it only if. Yeah. So Mark and I watch that.

I'm crying. Mark's not moved at all. Yeah. He's a monster. Yeah, he's a stone cold beast. He's an unfeeling golem is what he is. Yeah, he doesn't. But, yeah, I really enjoyed it.

I'm glad I watched it before the hype of it got out. Yeah, that thing was rad. It is. Well, well, done. This is fantastic.

If you're not aware, most of the Mardi Gras festivities have been canceled this year due the pandemic. Not to be outdone Norlands decided instead to have the float builders make their houses

into floats instead. They're calling it Yardie Gras. Oh my Lord. Some of the more impressive setups can be found here. She gave me a link. Happy Mardi Gras, y'all. Signed Kate. I also heard they had to shut a bunch of stuff down even in addition to that because now

they've got snow and ice on their streets this week. Oh, geez. I don't know how it went yesterday, but yeah, that was a thing. The video or like the news cutting to live shots of Mardi Gras, it was just empty, empty bourbon street had nobody on it.
