Coming up on TMS, I don't like Kirkland Pee.
Crowds are way too crowded for me.
One steak? Nevermore.
Social Network 2. Same hoodie.
Different decade.
Bed, bath, Batman, and beyond.
Is that pee in that Kirkland bottle?
What do of these?
What kind of garbage monster are you?
Don't let your meat, snake slide.
Proud, proper, pedestrian poop picker-upper.
Costco Raven Vampire Hunter.
Gwynny's Flaming V.
Double the Tom Pleasure, Double the Tom Fun.
with and without Nicole, and more on this episode of The Morning Stream.
Are you all right?
What was that?
The light magic.
Light magic.
They say there's a powerful artifact containing the light power hidden in these mountains.
There's an artifact of light?
If it's really so powerful, it must be able to live to the curse.
Curse. There's a curse on you?
It seems so.
I've had a run of bad luck lately.
Well, whoopty do.
The morning stream,
The morning stream.
The morning stream.
The morning stream.
Morning stream.
Sit down and listen, punk.
This is the morning stream.
Good morning, everybody.
Welcome back to the morning stream.
It is TMS for Wednesday, March 31st, 2021.
Scott Johnson here.
of it there. Good morning. Brian.
Darn right.
A little sip of tea.
Darn right. A little sip of tea in the morning.
You got your coffee over there.
I got my coffee. What kind of tea you drink in today?
I don't know. It's one of the random bags I grab from Phoenix Brill tea I keep in the cupboard, and I don't know which one I grabbed.
It tastes kind of cinnamon-y and tiger-y, if that makes sense.
Ah, it tastes like a tiger. Tite like a tiger.
There's something, I don't know, something wild about.
about it. Can't explain why, but I didn't, I didn't read the bag. This morning was a bit of a
cluster. It was a bit of a runaround. We got one of us in the household getting their first
shot today. Carter's getting her shot. And then, uh, so we're trying to schedule that and get
that done. We need a car for that. And Kim was trying to like, cancel other stuff and make this
work and blah, blah, blah, blah. And as a result, I just grab whatever tea I could find and
put it in the thing and seeped it. And here it is. Very good. Yeah. Worked out all right.
Very good. We're going to do a show.
It is one of those rare days when not having two cars kind of sucks.
Yeah, I agree.
I mean, it's been nice because, you know, no second payment, no second set of maintenance or any of that.
The benefits, the times that it's a benefit seem to way, way, way, way, way outweigh the days and it's not a benefit.
You have days like this.
But days like this where you're like, oh, shoot, we need it three different ways.
We need a third car, and then you're in trouble.
Oh, really?
What about, I mean, I guess Uber Lyft?
find a nice one that has a
Plexiglass divider between the driver
and you? Yeah, you never know what you're going to get, though, right?
They just pull up and you hope they have
some stuff. They might just have
a wipe for you.
At least, at the very least, right?
A secondhand wipe from somebody else.
A removable sheet
of paper on the seat.
Yeah, just wipe your bug on there
and hope for the best.
Well, okay.
But Carter won't do it
any of that until she's got
her Vax done.
she's doing that today. I think that's a safe bet. I don't think, yeah, I don't plan on doing any sort of Ubering lifting as a writer until after I'm two weeks after my vaccine. Not that I've been in an Uber or a lift in the last year anyway. Yeah, I haven't been in one. I'm trying to think if I've been in anything that was more crowded than, I think the most I've ever been in a room with is eight people and they were all immediate family and it was all last March.
and since then nothing's been larger than just like us and maybe once in a while well of course the baby and taylor or something but of course yeah that's it so yeah crowds man what are what even are they what is a crowd what are they yeah we have a um the amazon echo thing with the photos that it just basically pulls from your photo library and just randomly shows you photos which is great yeah until you like see oh wow this is like year and a half ago peter gabriel concert or whatever and and it's like wow look at that
crowd oh my god that that kind of gives me a little anxiety yeah it's weird it's weird it's not
used to it's going slowly back into whatever form that takes you know it may not be it may not be
the way it ever was it may who knows but uh who knows but it's there's going to be some degree of
that and uh it's going to be weird yeah it's going to be weird but we'll get used to it just like
everything else i mean i was thinking also yesterday like uh i was talking to kim
about this. If this was
1985
this would have been way
worse because we have no way
to talk or communicate back then
I mean you had phones but you know
there was no no way to
sort of keep the world moving the way that we
can now with certain
digital right with online internet
and all that stuff. Yeah I think we all need to
freaking appreciate it a little bit you know what I mean
like you know it could have been worse
could have been a lot worse. Yeah but then
we would have had the president coming on the news
saying
Hey everybody
No let's see
85 that would have been
Who's 85 let's see
That was Reagan
Reagan
Oh
I'm coming to you now
To tell you
Everybody needs to wear a mask
Me and
And
Nancy
Nancy are going to wear masks
And everybody on our team
Is going to wear masks
So basically this administration
All agrees
On this and both sides
of the aisle also agree that it's the right thing to do we'd have a little less of that division
I think probably then exactly and it's like oh guess what and uh you know we'd still be waiting
the same amount of time if not longer for a vaccine but uh yeah who knows how much for how much
easier it would have been to keep under control well you'd also have just like less sources of
information less everybody getting together too right right right still be yeah you'd have I don't know
I don't know.
We probably look at the last giant pandemic and learn some lessons from it in terms of, like, you know, how it went.
But I'm just glad we live in a time where this stuff doesn't stop people from getting shit done for the most part.
There's, you know, there are people who, you know, I feel bad for, well, I feel bad for movie theaters and I don't because I already felt like the writing was on the wall.
But, you know, those places are getting hosed.
And it doesn't matter how many $100 rent out of theater deals or whatever.
I don't know how they make it after all this.
I just don't know how they have it.
But most things, mostly, have done all right.
Done okay.
Yeah, how did Reagan do on AIDS?
Great question.
Not very well.
Exactly.
Not so well.
We're not praising Reagan.
We're just saying it would have been a less divisive issue with a pandemic.
That's all I'm saying.
It wouldn't have been so much like, oh, you're a lefty if you wear a mask.
It wouldn't have been like that.
I don't think.
I could be wrong, but I don't think so.
Anyway, speaking of weirdness, look, we live in a society, everybody, and I don't expect when I go out to walk my dog to find a bottle of fresh pee, okay?
Oh.
But it happened.
Can I ask how you knew it was fresh?
You're going to hate the answer to this.
Oh, God.
Oh, I really hate that I asked the question.
Yeah, I know.
No, I'm kind of glad you did, because I was going to get to this, but I'm glad you asked because it's a good transition.
I'm out with the dog.
We're walking.
We're doing what we got to do.
And I get irritated if there's any kind of trash anywhere.
I hate litter, freaking hate it, pisses me off.
Somebody leaves a Coke can out there.
I'm like, gosh, freaking dang it.
And I'll pick it up and throw it away because it just pisses me off.
Well, yesterday there was a water bottle.
One of these.
Kirkland brand water bottle.
Oh, sure.
Oh, that brand even.
Yeah, that brand.
I wouldn't fingerprint it if I were you.
A brand that many people in your house consume and enjoy on a regular basis.
Yeah, now I'm starting to wonder.
Only one of us has the right aim for the bottle, though, so I don't know.
But anyway, so I got outside and there's this, you know, one of these, cap on, on the sidewalk sitting there about that full, well, people at home, a little more than half, full of, it looked like Gatorade.
And I thought, well, that's unusual.
It's a little ADR fine.
Yeah, I like that.
No, it's good.
A little P.A.R.
A little Folly work.
Yeah.
PDR, is what that is.
PDR, right, yes.
So this thing's sitting there.
and I thought, well, that's gross.
What is that? Someone's drink.
And then my brain went, beep, boop, beep.
Oh, no, that's, someone's peed in that bottle.
And they've left it there.
Now, it didn't, I wasn't sure about this if it was pee.
I just knew it didn't look like water.
And I just thought, well, I'm still not going to let it just sit here.
I'm going to throw this away.
This is gross.
So I reached down to grab it, knowing full well that when I get back, I'm washing this hand vigorously when I get home.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
But I grabbed it.
And it's 30.
six degrees out when I was there
so it was cold outside. This
bottle is
not just warm.
I'd call it a little hot.
Like a little on the
fresh side, right out the
shoot kind of hot.
Yeah. And
I just, I recoiled in fear.
I went, eh. I'm like, oh my gosh,
this is brand new. This is new pee.
That's the least of the noises I'd probably
end up making. Yeah. I made one of these
things here. But you didn't see anybody around.
like a car drive by that might have just
left it, you know? No, I didn't see
any, the, the doer of
the deed was nowhere in sight. I didn't see
any of this, so. Now,
I want to assume the best in people. It's not
something I often do
on this show, as we know from our
what
happens in the zombie outbreak. Do we have a bunch
of Niggins running around? And I think this
last year has told us the answer to that.
But could somebody also have been
taking their dog out on a walk, say,
oh no I really got to pee
no place around
I'll just duck behind this
electric car
and whizz in this bottle
and then when I come back
I'll grab this bottle and take it back home with me
yeah I mean maybe and they
possibly but you didn't see I mean you saw
nobody around no nobody and I've done
this thing before we're like the dog will do
its business and I don't have a bag and I'm like
oh crap okay well yeah
hey everybody I'm not leaving this I'm going to I'm getting a bag
I'll be back.
So in the intervening time,
don't freak out and call the HOA
that I didn't pick up my poop
because I'm a big poop
picker-upper proponent.
So I'll be back here
to pick up the poop,
which is proper and priceless.
I'm doing all the P-words.
So I did that before,
and I've done that.
And I came back and I cleaned it up.
Now, if somebody meant to, like,
you know,
swing back by and get it,
maybe.
But I took care of it.
I threw it in the thing
and it was disgusted.
And what are you doing everybody?
Rainbow Bright's in the chat room.
One of our chat room people, because we have a chat room that, for those of you listening to the audio,
we have a chat room that asks us questions in response to the things that we say sometimes.
Rainbow Bright said, what would make you pick up a water bottle filled with yellow liquid?
And really, it is.
Scott wanted to kind of keep America beautiful and take it to a trash can and do the right thing.
Yeah, I hate it.
I hate it.
Like, I just feel like it's the laziest thing on the planet.
The only thing lazier.
no it is the laziest thing
because if you're driving by
and you got like a you got McDonald's in your car
and you throw your wrapper out the window
what even what animal are you like
what kind of garbage monster are you don't do that
you're going to make a you're going to make an Italian
person dressed up as a Native American
cry is what you're going to do
yep just to add that extra
dose of authenticity to the moment
we're going to have an Italian do it
what was that guy's name I used to remember
there was such a great piece of tribute to remember that guy's
It was a really good documentary called,
what was it called something Indian?
Shoot.
But it talks about the,
the overall, like when in old Hollywood movies and like, you know,
stuff like that, like how the Native American stereotypes propagated.
And part of this was talking about that dude doing that commercial.
But they also had, they had good examples.
Like the taunt, the guy played Tonto in the thing was,
actual Native American guy and was, you know,
it was legit.
Although I think they made him talk funny.
I don't think you really talked like that.
But anyway, yeah, just clean up your...
There it is.
Espera Oscar de Corti.
There you go.
Very, very Native American, that name.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah, what do they call you?
Ironize Cody and played Native Americans
in a lot of Hollywood films.
I'm barks at Moon.
What's your name? Oh, I'm bird with feathers.
And your name?
I'm a battery of the turkey.
Anyway, so just don't leave your...
I don't care what it is.
Your pee, your wrappers, your bags, your cans, your shit.
Just clean it up, man.
Oh, yeah, real engine.
That was the name of the documentary.
It was very good.
Really?
Yeah, worth watching.
I liked it.
I may have recommended it, but I don't remember.
I'm a little offended by the name.
It's kind of like...
What's the other one I saw?
I really liked this last year.
Oh, Crip Camp,
which is a little offensive.
Yeah, which is nominated for Best Documentary.
It should win.
It's great.
Yeah.
Very good.
But that name Crip Camp was a little hard to say.
Yeah, exactly.
It's very good, though.
It's very good.
And it's all about dispelling, like, you know,
it's deconstructing all the notions we have about folks with disabilities.
And it was fantastic.
Those people in there are great.
Holy crap.
Anyway, moving on.
Bottles of pee, notwithstanding.
We're going to.
We're going to play a game today. Now, here's the deal.
We're down, done away, because he has a thing.
And Randy never replied back, so we don't know where he's at.
So we have a third option.
And our third option is going to surprise everybody, and it's going to be great.
Got to add him to the call, though, first. So hold on.
All right. He's probably in there.
Who could it be?
I wonder who it could be. Who could be our third option?
Mystery person.
Mystery person coming in now for this.
Well, looky there, everybody.
Our mystery person isn't such a mystery after all.
It's Tom Merritt,
Belling up to the bar for today's ballroom.
I am happy to be your third choice today.
Well, my thinking, usually with you is,
oh, he's got like some kind of daily tech headline,
something, something going on in the mornings.
And not to mention the fact that it's an hour earlier there than it is here,
and I don't want to wake anybody up or, you know.
Sure.
But look how nice you are.
You just said, yeah, I'll do it.
I mean, like, who does that?
mom does that. That's who does that. Me and Ray were out, you know, stopping and smelling the flowers, Ray the dog and I. So yeah, we just kind of ambled on back and just in time. It's great. I worked out for everybody. Let me ask you this. If you're out walking with your dog, you're out rocking with Ray and you find a bottle of freshly produced urine in a bottle. What do you do? What's your reaction? What do you do, hot shot? When that happens, Scott, we just walk on by.
Okay. All right. When that happens in L.A., look, what happens in L.A. stays on the ground in L.A.
Jay's right over there in the corner next to the sleeping bag. It's set next to it.
It's entirely correct. All right. So we're going to do this together with Tom today, and it's going to be fun. We've never done this with him before.
So we'll see how this goes. We have a listener on the line. Let's find out who's called in. Hi, thanks for waiting. Who's this?
Hey, it's Tom from New Jersey. Well, hello, Tom. How are you? Well, that's not confusing.
Yeah.
Hey, we usually have two
Brian's for this, so it's not so bad.
That's right.
We'll make it work.
Well, Tom from New Jersey, it's great to have you.
We're going to play a little game,
and Brian Abbott here's going to explain the rules and what you could win.
That's right, Scott.
Yes, it's time to play the tadpooly feud.
I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics,
and Scott and Tom will have to predict the answers that they gave us.
It is Scott and Tom's job to see how many of those answers they can guess.
Tom from New Jersey,
not to be confused with Tom from California.
Jersey Tom and Hollywood Tom.
Hollywood Tom.
Love it.
All right.
Jersey Tom, your job is more important than ever
because you're going to be working with either Scott or Tom on this game.
And if your team wins, you get a prize package that includes the games from Monday
that Don from Cincinnati ended up not being able to use,
Iris and the Giant and Yakuza Kiwami too.
Ooh, very nice.
Yes.
Get it while it's hot from two days ago.
all right so let's get to your topic both of you have the game pulled up I assume
oh yeah Tom you have your thing your little buzzer button and all that
Tom the way this works is you will click your your button to buzz in and the first
person to buzz in when I finish the question you can't buzz in during the question
first person to buzz in when I finish the question gets to answer and then basically
we play it kind of like family feud with going back and forth and strikes and
Think of it as buzz in loud.
Hey, I don't understand why that's funny.
That's a weird reference, right? You don't get it because you had nothing to do with that show.
All right. Hands on buzzers.
Okay.
I asked the tadpool.
500 people responded top 10 answers on the board.
What's the last television series you told family and or friends to binge watch?
Scott.
Did I get it?
Oh, sweet.
You got it.
The last one I told friends and family.
to binge watch.
Yeah, source.
What did the tadpull?
What would they say?
Right, right.
If I said it, it's not going to be right.
I can promise you that.
The Queen's Gambit.
The Queen's Gambit.
The Queen's Gambit.
All right.
Number six on the board.
Five answers will beat it.
Tom.
Wanda Vision.
Oh, man.
Show me Wanda Vision.
He probably got it.
Damn it!
Number one answer on the board.
Very good.
All right.
Tom will.
we'll play
and you basically
keep going until you get a strike
and then we move over to Scott
that's where it's different.
Does he works with our listener
with Tom?
He does work so it's the Tom and Tom show
which is now makes things much easier
Tom's.
Yeah.
Tom's of Maine.
You both need to move to Maine.
Tom's of New Jersey and Hollywood.
People in Hollywood
be very upset to hear me
describe myself that way.
Oh, so you need another answer from me, right?
Another answer from the two.
You guys can work together now at this point.
If you want to, yeah.
Or you can just override each other.
It doesn't matter.
We'll take whatever you got.
I'm thinking Mando.
Oh, yeah, right?
What do you think, Tom, from New Jersey?
Yeah, definitely.
All right, Mandelorian.
All right, show me the Mandalorian.
Number two.
Number two answer on the board.
Damn it.
I mean, well done.
It's very good.
okay so and then you got queen's gambit that was a good call bridgerton maybe oh yeah it's a romantic ladies lady show
is that uh my wife from new jersey you like that answer uh not one that i would have guessed
okay um i mean one of the big ones i would have said would have been breaking bad oh yeah that's true
it's just all you know
it depends on when you're telling them to do it right
right the only thing against breaking bad is that
you know fewer people haven't seen it
than these others
yeah no I like that though
because Bridgerton's a little bit
a little bit outside the main chat room
breaking bad's more more to the center
I mean they're both both go let's go breaking bad
breaking bad show me breaking bad
oh number eight on the list
call geez louisa so i'm surprised by that nicely done oh man you guys are killing me all right
keep going all right you guys get to keep going until you get a wrong answer uh well we could
always go back to bridgerton um but what else has been i'm trying to think of like what are
the big the big binge the big binge the big binge big binge is there an hbo show we're missing
here oh the expanse is a good one yeah yeah the expanse is a good one yeah the expanse
is good.
I wouldn't see a wider audience, but
the tadpool audience
you think would be.
This crowd's into it.
All right.
Show me the expanse.
Number three.
Nicely done. Good job.
Shit. I'm going to lose.
Well, technically,
he's only got 14 points.
There's still a chance, is what you're saying.
There's still a chance.
Staying there's a chance.
That's right.
Now you guys are in the weeds.
That's right.
Now what?
Now what?
Yeah, now what do you choose?
I recently watched.
There you go.
Maybe for all mankind.
Oh, that's a good one.
I know I've recommended that to people.
The boys.
Oh, that was what I was going to say.
I was holding that one for later.
Killing Eve.
I don't know.
You're a good at giving.
And Tom, a lot of answers to you is when he finally gives control.
Yeah, no, you're helping me a lot, actually.
This is good.
Tom, what did you say in New Jersey?
You just said something.
Yeah, I mean, is Game of Thrones too big to have recommended it?
And ended too poorly.
You're not going to hear a lot of people recommending that one, I don't think.
That's true.
Very true.
Yeah.
Russian to finish that one up.
Hey, binge watch just the first four seasons of it, and then stop.
Let's say Ted Lassow.
Ted Lassow.
Good one.
Right.
Show me Ted Lassow.
Damn it!
Number four answer on the board.
Oh, I'm going to lose.
You're sweeping this thing.
Yeah.
And pretty much in order, too.
I do cover television streaming shows.
You do, that's true, yeah.
I may have a bit of a bit of a little spoiler in is what's going on here.
Yeah.
Okay, so what's next, Jersey, Tom?
Where do you want to go with this?
Oh, kind of think, Rick and Morty?
That's not bad.
I recommend that to people.
Scott, I thought you're trying to depise your voice.
That one's not bad.
That's not bad.
Go fine.
Barnaby Jones.
All four seasons, do it.
Yeah.
That was Jerusalem.
Rick and Morty's good.
I've recommended that.
All right.
Yeah, let's do Rick and Morty.
All right.
Show me Rick and Morty.
Oh.
Amazingly, out of the 500 people surveyed,
one person said Rick and Morty,
which is surprising.
By the way, you guys see that new trailer?
It looks amazing.
It does.
Yeah.
I like that other show they're doing, too, on Hulu.
Yeah, the solar opposites.
Solar opposites.
I love the first season.
The new season's out.
I'm seeing it.
That's just in Royland, too, isn't it?
Yeah, that's very good.
Very similar.
Yeah, in some ways you might say too similar.
Like, why do you even bother making two things about alien, like, weirdness?
You can't use the word opposite where it looks exactly like weirdness.
I guess it's just minus Dan Harmon.
But, all right.
All right, Scott, it's over to you now.
I will say the boys, because I think the boys should be on that list.
Yeah, that's probably right.
Show me the boys, is what Brian said.
Oh, what?
Are you kidding me?
I wish it had gone higher.
The Boys was, let's see, number 12, tied for 12th on this list.
I'm sorry, tied for 11th on this list.
So had I made the answers one more, that might have been.
I'm not saying I might have ceded our recommendations.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, now that you say all this, I think the boys would be a, I mean, you can't recommend that to everyone, right?
No, not to everyone.
But the tadpool audience, like, yeah, I mean,
the funny thing is, it's not like the tadpole audience is recommending it to other tadpullers
because pretty much we don't watch the same things.
Yeah.
We're all excited to watch the thing that, you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It makes everything that comes out.
All right, so it is back over to Tom and Tom.
Double Tom.
The Tom Tom Tom Tom.
What about Cobra Kai?
Yeah, that's a good one.
That's a really good one.
Cobra Kai.
Let's do it. Put it on the board.
Show me Cobra Kai.
Never die.
Except now it dies.
Again, just one spot under the boys,
as far as popularity.
Under the boys.
Oh.
Just, yeah, just one next.
I'm actually pretty surprised by that.
That surprises me.
Okay.
All right.
Back over to Scott.
We're all so focused on new stuff.
I feel like I'm missing a tadpool motion here of like...
That's smart.
Like, I mean, I know I'm biased in this direction.
I'll say it. Fargo, damn it.
Fargo.
Show me Fargo.
Gosh, dang it, dude.
That's a correct answer.
Fargo also on the list, um, 26th on the list.
Okay. That's too low.
Out of, uh, listen, I'll tell you a full number of shows recommended, 176 when you, wow,
Look at everything, but about a hundred of those had just one person recommending it.
Wow.
All right.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
So Jersey Tom, we could either go old like Scott was doing, but even older, or we could go with another.
I've got an idea for another newer one.
What do you think?
When I think binge, I think newer.
So what's the newer?
The crown.
Oh, yeah.
People like the crown.
Yeah, that's a good one.
All right. We'll go with the crown.
All right.
Show me the crown.
Save it.
Oh, all right.
So, Scott, if you have six points, there is the potential of easily, actually, 10 points for the 10th answer, nine points for the ninth answer, you know, seven, five.
Still four answers left on the board.
If you get any two of those.
On the board, Scott, run the board.
All right.
Yeah.
Then you can do this.
I'm going to do it.
Oh, that was a good one.
Um, uh, well, let's do, you know, everyone's obsession here at my house.
Let's do Schitt's Creek in there.
That's a good one.
Show me Schitt's Creek.
Oh.
Number five on the list.
Okay.
Uh, if you give me any of the other answers, well, if you give me the seventh answer, you'll tie.
Any other answer will win the game and take prizes out of Tom's hands.
Wait.
How does the seventh answer only tie, but the ninth and the tenth win?
got a score. Because seventh answer gives him
seven points, which should give him 18.
We have it, we have it so the...
Oh, because we're on the list.
Yeah. Yeah. We had to tweak the rules.
It's easy to give the, you know, Wanda Vision.
One point. Low-hanging fruit.
Yeah. Gotcha.
Low-hanging magical.
I thought I got 82 points for Wanda Vision. I was confused.
Yeah. Yeah. We had it, we had it that way and found that
you give those two answers and you are mathematically...
No, no, this is a much better way I'm doing it.
We had to tweak it.
All right.
let's go with
uh
oh the one that was just in my head and then went away
okay um
I'll
Dick Van Dyke shows
my kids would say that they love that show
um all right
let's do um
uh
uh
uh
uh
the 90s stand miniseries
no
no
although there's
of war
Hard Castle and McCormick.
Yes, Hard Castle and McCormick, for sure.
Tom and his...
Jake and the Fat Man.
Ten Speed and Brown shoe or whatever.
The Scarecrow and Mrs. King.
There you go.
Okay, I'll just say Gilmore Girls,
because we have a lot of those fans in our tadpole, so...
Those...
I like you, those fans.
Show me Loreline Company, the Gilmore Girls.
Dang it!
I hope you're wearing soft shoes because you're going to be kicking yourself
when you see these answers.
Um, can I think I hear the other ones in my head.
The office, I'm, I'm thinking like, maybe office was, did not even crack the top 20, but it's on the list.
The crown, by the way, the crown and the office tied.
They're both outside the top of the top.
Oh, that tells me something.
Okay, good.
All right.
Never mind.
That's all those.
All right.
Show me number seven.
Kim's convenience.
Oh, gosh.
Neatack.
Oh, why didn't I say that?
I'm freaking interviewed the guy.
What's wrong with me?
I know, exactly.
Show me, this one, this one surprised me.
Show me number nine.
Oh, Letter, Kenny.
Oh, interesting.
Very, great show.
Very popular.
I would have thought it was too niche.
I would have a word he didn't make it?
I wouldn't have thought, exactly, yeah.
And then show me number 10, a favorite of Scots.
Oh, the West Wing.
Oh, wow.
Just for fun, here, I'm going to tell you the ones that kind of round out the top,
the top batch here. You, you talked about Bridgeton. Bridgeton, the boys were the next two on the list, most recommendations.
Cobra Kai, the Umbrella Academy, what we do in the shadows.
Oh, yeah.
Dairy Girls, Doom Patrol, Game of Thrones, Star Trek, Discovery, the good place, better call Saul, Bob's Burgers, and Chernobyl, rounding out the old.
Chernobyl made it, did it? Wow.
Chernobyl.
That's a really good mini-section.
Very good.
I've led to me of Putin.
Yeah, that's
I might have got Kim's convenience,
but I would have never guessed Letterkenny or the West Wing.
Yeah, Letterkenny was a surprise.
I am kicking myself for West Wing because they fight.
The streaming services fight over that freaking thing because people...
Well, that's why I was thinking the office, too, right?
Yeah, same thing.
I would have thought the office.
Actually, I would have put the office higher.
It would have been my guess, but who knows what you crazy taboolers wrote.
When you told me the office wasn't on there,
I was like, well, what else?
Maybe I'm wrong about older shows.
And for All Mankind is on the list.
It's low down, Great British Baking Show, The Great Snowpiercer.
I mean, there's a lot of great shows.
This is actually, I might actually use this as a list of recommendations to go down the list of things.
Yeah, that's not bad.
That's not bad.
I like that a lot.
Well, well done.
That means that Jersey Mike, no, Jersey Tom, I'm thinking of the subs.
I'm a sub now.
I could go for a sandwich.
I could totally go for a Jersey Mike.
There's one of walking distance for me.
I might have to head over there.
Yeah, it sounds all right.
You've completely won.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
And you've done it on the backs of just real good smarts and, of course, the help of one Tom Merritt.
Congratulations.
All you have to do to collect your winnings is send him an email, coverville at gmail.com.
And Brian will send off your prizes.
Congratulations.
And again, well, John.
Yeah, it's all true.
Everything I say is true.
I don't lie.
In Jersey, do they just call it mics?
They'll probably call it Jersey daves.
I don't know.
I don't know what they do.
the only part they change is the proper noun the name they go with Mike or
Dave over Mike which you know Dave's and Mike's been fighting for centuries it's time for
them to finally bury their assets they call it Jimmy Johns this has been great fun Tom
thanks for being a good sport and stepping in for the the the Brian Dunaway this week we really
appreciate oh you bet you bet I have big shoes to fill love the Brian Dunaway but happy
happy to step in yeah we're gonna I guess we're going to as well
We're going to talk to you again in like 20 minutes.
Yeah, I better read some tech news.
You better go find out what's going on in today's tech news and we'll talk to you soon.
Bye, Tom.
All right.
That was great.
That was great.
You know what I'm going to do is, um, um, can you send me that list too?
It's funny.
I'm actually just putting it into a Google Drive document to share in the chat room.
So I'll give you a copy as well.
Yes, please.
I love that idea that we've, we just crowdsourced our, our potential viewing list.
That's fantastic.
It did. Yeah, exactly. Let's see. You guys will only be able to, uh...
View, not edit. View not edit. Let's see here. Where is it? There we go.
Viewed it. I think that's how I've got it.
Hey, whatever you want, man. Did I make it read only? I think I made it read only.
I think you have to choose. It's by default they can edit. Yeah. And it's funny because usually, like,
usually there's a button for that, but it says get link. Restricted only people add
can open with this link.
Oh, here we go.
Change to anyone with the link, viewer.
Perfect.
Okay.
There you go.
Nailed it.
All right.
All right.
That's it for that.
Cool.
Well done, everybody.
That's it for that.
Now this.

A contentious episode, that one.
That's right.
Yeah.
Clear winner, but contention was had.
Yes, yes.
Much contention.
Yeah, but it's one I really enjoyed.
All right, let's move on to this.
This is a story that I held on to from yesterday about Anchorage and Costco.
So Anchorage, Alaska.
You're familiar with the town.
I'm familiar with both of these things, just not together.
Did you ever do a paper there?
Is that a thing?
No, I've never, oh, I take the back.
I have been to Alaska, but I've never, never been to the Anchorage.
Oh, I don't think they were a customer now that I think about it.
So I've never been to Anchorage for a work setting, but I've been there for a cruise setting.
We started a cruise there and did the ice shelves.
stuff like that, went up there and looked at the...
So you went there to become a doctor in a small town.
They had a little radio station.
I did. That's exactly right, yes.
Did some zip lining, did some mountain biking.
Yeah.
It was a fun trip.
It was a lot of fun.
Alaska seemed like a good time.
At the right time of year.
It's beautiful.
Beautiful country.
I don't want to go in the dead of winter, is what I'm saying.
No, don't go in the dead of winter.
And maybe skip Wasilla unless you're really into meth.
Oh, yeah.
Is that the meth town?
capital of Alaska.
That's capital of Alaska,
yes.
I'll wait for the cops episode
that'll never happen
because I got canceled.
All right,
here's a question from my house.
Oh, very nice.
Here's the Anchorage, Alaska, Costco.
The customers there say Ravens are stealing their
groceries in the parking lot.
Oh, no.
Ravens.
Are they Kirkland brand Ravens?
They all have little tags on it and say,
Nevermore, which is pretty weird.
Marnie Jones and her husband
made it all the way home.
from the South Anchorage Costco before they realized
they'd been robbed.
We had brought our, we had brought our
four pack of filet mignon steak,
she says. We had
brought? We had bought.
Where is it? We had bought a four pack of
filet mignon steak. That's the way to say it, right?
Yes, we had bought. Yeah. Why does
it sound wrong? You could also
say we bought a four pack of
filet mignon steak. That's what I think I'm, yeah.
That's a, that's an Oxford
had.
an optional
An Oxford had
I like it
It says it was at the bottom of the cart
And we were pushing through the bumpy snow
When we reached the vehicle
The meat slid into the ground
The husband turned his back
And a load of groceries
Or back to load groceries
Before realizing the pack had slipped
I hate it when your meat pack slips
It's rough
Yeah
When they got home they put everything away
And then notice one of the stakes was missing
Then it clicked
He says OMG I picked up
that pack of snakes snakes snakes
steaks
why did it have to be steaks
I hate him jock
I hate him
I hate him
so I saw a raven in the parking lot
with a steak in his mouth
so that's when he figured it out
they're not the only ones to lose
groceries at this particular Costco
to Ravens somebody named
Olani Sawana
also finishing a ship and shopping
trip their last winter
buckling her baby into a car seat
when a raven swooped by and swipe some of her short ribs from the cart.
Wow.
They all want meat.
These ravens are planted a hell of a barbecue.
Yeah.
They're meat eaters, man.
Who would have thought it?
Probably a good thing the baby was buckled into the car seat, too.
No kidding.
He had picked up the entire package of short ribs and flew away with it, she says.
The same thing happened in the spring.
This time it was more than one, and they chose a different cut of meat.
So basically, the pole, the parking lot is plagued by these ravens who were just waiting for you.
frozen meat craving ravens.
Yeah, and all they need you to do is turn your head for a second or float the front.
And then, come, they come by and grab them.
You ever heard a raven talk?
I'm going to tell you a story.
Wild pack of ravenous ravens.
I've never tried to do an Alfred Hitchcock and it failed miserable.
I don't think it was that bad.
I don't know that that was that bad.
Here's a raven talking, all right?
Enjoy this.
This is such a great sound.
Hold on.
All right, here we go.
This is Fable the Raven.
I don't know why this music is playing.
Let's skip ahead.
Okay.
Okay.
Fabel.
Hello.
You going to say hi?
Hi.
There you go.
So I just want you to come and meet one of my favorite birds that I own here.
It's talking like a lady.
I don't want a lady talking one.
Either way, go ahead.
You read further in this story and you find out that it's the only ever take one, right?
Like they take one.
steak they take one pack of ribs
never more never never more than that
I see I see what you did there
that was good all right here's a proper
Raven talking like a man
to do it has picked up
replaced on that's a dude
that's a guy um he's a dude
this is what it's okay still do
here we go Raven this is where I find him
a lot okay and but
YouTube you suck that guy didn't never have his
Raven talk it was just him talking lame
welcome to YouTube
yeah welcome to YouTube everybody
it is what it is.
All right, we got a breaking story.
This is important stuff.
Aren't you glad you subscribe to this show?
I'm going to preface this because I'm going to let you decide if you still want to do this story.
Are you doing the Gwyneth Paltrow story?
Yeah, I was going to.
Are you going down to the VR goggles?
I was going to do the Gwemateauldrow one.
Should I not be doing that?
Well, we've done that story.
This is a new article about the woman who did that story, who this happened to that we first covered when it first happened to her.
Now she's talking about the fame that she got.
from yes it's a follow-up oh okay it's the woman who's
Gwyneth Paltrow vagina candle exploded in her flat no wonder so many
her flat what I'm just kidding
now explains why everybody was sending this sending this to me
it is a follow-up okay well this is good to know good to understand
Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina candle erupted in my front room that was the story
we talked about this before began as a joke with my friend Jane blah blah blah
blah blah now this is the lady talking who this happened to right
Right.
So she says we had a quiz, and one question was,
what was the name was Gwen Poutreau's 68 pound or euro-scented candle?
And she launched on her Goop website in 2020.
I knew the answer.
The name of the candle was, this smells like my vagina.
Jane then started laughing and explained that she had bought one to see what the fuss was about.
I won the quiz and the candle was my prize.
Jane sent it to me the next day.
The candle made of soy wax and essential oils is apparently so named because Paltrow was joking with Goop's perfumer, Douglas Little.
According to the marketing blurb, the two are working on a fragrance,
and she blurted out, ah, this smells like a vagina, she says.
I didn't know that part. That's news.
Yeah, she didn't even say it was her vagina at first, right?
No.
A, vagina.
Not the vagina.
I mean, how many has Gwyneth Paltrow smelled?
I don't want to know.
I don't want to know what these Hollywood types get up to.
I don't want to know.
Yeah, all right.
Anyway.
I mean, not that there's anything wrong with it.
that. Sure, sure. She says, let's see, I trimmed the wick as instructed and put the candle
coaster in our front room. It smelled really nice of Bermengot, Cedarwood, and Rose.
The next night, however, as all hell was unleashed, a few minutes after I let the candle, it exploded.
Flames roared and over a half a meter, and it's spelled with an E at the end, which means we're in
Britain somewhere. Out of the jar, and bits of molten wax flew out as it fizzed and spat.
We couldn't get near it to blow out.
out.
Insert your own joke here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This rites itself.
Yeah, fizzed and spat.
We couldn't get near it and blow it out as the flames were too ferocious.
This candle fizzes and spats like my vagina.
Oh, man.
And we didn't want to throw water on it for fear of splashing molten wax everywhere.
Luckily, I had placed it on concrete at the base of what was once a fireplace.
Okay.
She says her and her husband panicked.
We were relieved that the cats were safe, sleep in our bedroom, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Once my heart rate slowed, I posted pictures of the aftermath on Instagram with a tongue-and-cheek caption.
Thanks.
Yeah, thanks, Gwyneth or Gweney.
Stuff your flaming vagina.
All right.
Jeez.
Wow.
All right.
It goes on.
I didn't copy it all.
Hold on.
Okay, here we go.
Okay, here we go.
By the end of the day, the story appeared on new sites in New Zealand, Brazil, Canada, India, Indonesia, Philippines.
and so on. It was a top trending story on Twitter in the U.K.
Anyway, it was all going crazy.
Let's see.
Even the London Fire Brigade tweeted the following, saying it might be popular,
but do not leave Gwyneth Poutreau's scented candles unattended and always on flame retardant surfaces.
Failure to do so could lead firefighters coming quickly to your home and squirting water.
Again, the phrasing here is a little rough.
Yeah, a little rough.
Yeah.
Let's see.
All right.
goop hq got in touch now we get to the point of the story offering to send goodies by way of an
apology but sadly she didn't hear from gwyneth herself perhaps there's a degree of schadenfreude
being behind my story's popularity some people dislike paltrow because of the wellness fad she
endorses but i think it provided a much needed mid-pandemic distraction my goop package of body
and skincare products arrived or recently revived thankfully it contained nothing combustible the
acrid smell of a
Gwyneth Paltrow's exploding vagina candle
isn't something I'm keen to relive
but I'm also laughing about it.
That's the story.
That's nice.
I was really...
I was really hoping
there was going to be a thing in this where it was like
oh and I talked to Gwyneth personally
and she's... Right, yeah, exactly, like a little happy ending
kind of thing. Yeah, didn't really happen.
But you all wanted me to do the story, all right?
Like hundreds of you sent me this link.
really they're like you gotta follow up you gotta follow up and it's funny because it is exactly the you know the same story just we now we get the prolog yeah or i'm sorry epilogue yeah it's first person now where's my candle i don't know where it is it's probably upstairs where you had it lit for uh when you're oh my mother-in-law was over when your mom your mother-in-law came over yeah we like to we like to make her feel uncomfortable that's our goal here what smells like minge
Why have I not heard that in a long?
I haven't heard Minge in a long time.
I think it was like a...
British office or something.
Eight people in our audience found that funny.
Oh, that's so funny to me.
All right.
That's going to do it for now.
When we come back, we're going to talk to Tom again.
It's crazy.
It's like he's an Oreo cookie and Indian in the middle is the filling.
Yeah, he's the two crunchy cookies on the outside.
That's what his mom always told him.
And now it's come true.
So come back for that.
We also have recommendals today, although no Nicole.
Everybody like bailed today.
Oh, jeez.
So it's just me and Brian doing our recommendals.
But don't worry, they're good ones.
So come back for that.
After this song that has been lovingly prepared, baked, and readied by Brian Abbott.
Yeah, we're going to Toronto again for an artist who performs under the name Elephants and Dogs,
which is a mnemonic that you use for memorizing guitar strings.
I've never heard of that.
I've heard of like every good boy.
that's sheet music is every good boy deserves fudge and uh but i've never heard of elephants and
dogs anyway weird i haven't either uh it's a solo project of a toronto based artist named joe narducci
uh his debut ep uh is is out and can be summed up by the lyric i hope my stormy skies
don't ever clear because they will be my ticket out of here um basically he gets his inspiration
from life around him and sadness and happiness
and whatever he can get around him.
There you go.
When he's not making music,
he's looking at pictures of cute possums and raccoons on the internet.
This is just brand new out.
The EP just came out March 5th, 2021,
courtesy of Lookup Records.
Here is the title track.
It is You Won't Be Seeing Me Around by Elephants and Dogs.
I think I lost track again
And so upon my mind
And now I'm just there
It's just fine
I find
when I stand
down
but it's so
clear
as I'm standing
in that
you won't
see me
now
find it out
you found it out
you found it down
you'll
never
be around
you're never
want to
stand me around
Well, I need to try, is the only way to get it, and it doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter.
Sometimes you're just in a sad
But it's so clear
As I'm standing there
Don't you want this in a little
loud
I'm fighting out
You'll find out
You walk this in a little
life
Never want this in a little
now
No, you want to sleep a better night
Where you want to sleep in a night
Now you want to see a better now
Die, Monster. You don't belong in this world.
It was not by my hand that I'm once again given flesh.
I was called here by humans who wished to pay me tribute.
Tribute? You steal men's souls and make them your slaves.
Perhaps the same could be said of all religions.
I have to stay alive and write this article before I die.
before I die.
Okay.
The morning stream.
The sugar and cream in your coffee.
Aw.
All right.
We're back, everybody.
So I looked it up during the song there.
Elephants and dogs grow big your ears.
is the phrase, and as you go around the tuning knobs on the top of your guitar, it's
E-A-D-G-B-E, and that's how you remember each of your strings.
Elephants and dogs, or donkeys, you can say, grow big ears.
Okay.
So it's quite literal then.
Mm-hmm.
Right?
Okay.
Well, see, look what I know.
Nothing is what I know.
I know nothing.
I had no idea about that.
It's really cool.
Yeah.
News to me.
All right.
Let's get Tom back in here.
okay you know you know him you love him you were already missing him he's back everybody for an encore
performance yep as if he never left that's right maybe he's blinking we'll see we're getting
rings of ringage oh and my phone buzzed oh no I see him right there here it is we listen to that
whoops that's the wrong one here you go with the computer as with any tool the concept and direction
must come from the man remember this guy everybody Tom merritt he was just here and uh
He normally comes on Wednesdays at this time to talk about tech stuff,
but now he's all like game show prime, so I don't know what's going to do.
He's in a different shirt, his, he's, uh, I showered.
Did you do all that between when we last talked to you?
That's amazing.
Well, done.
You clean up nice.
Well, that was a long song we played, Scott.
So, of course, yeah, of course.
That, uh, it had got a divita really helped out.
Thank you for adding that afternoon.
It goes on and on and on.
Well, uh, nonetheless, we're excited to have you on, talk a little tech and see what's going
on for daily technique
show later today. What is burning on the stove
right now? Well
someone just turn off the stove
because Facebook is a
burning with changes.
Facebook announced that you
can now change your news
feed to be chronological.
Something that
National nightmare is over.
I was going to say, it's one of those features
that you hear people loudly
asking for, but I honestly don't think
that many people will use it.
However, it was kind of dumb for them not to offer it because really for self-protection,
it's one of the things I recommend.
Having your Twitter feed or your Facebook feed be chronological really changes the experience.
You can decide which is for you, but give people the option.
So that is one of the things they're adding a feed filter bar where you can choose to access most recent or the favorites oriented,
where like your friends and family stuff shows up more often than the general algorithm.
That's all in the Android up now.
Come to iOS soon.
They're also adding a few other things like the ability to restrict who can comment.
Twitter already does this as well.
So you can you can actually say, okay, I only want to have just my friends or only people mentioned in the post comment on my Facebook post.
And there's going to give more information on why you're seeing stuff.
as well as the ability to turn off political ads or snooze a person.
Not fully block them, but just be like, you know, I don't want to see them for a while.
That's a tweet bot kind of thing.
I love that.
Put them in timeout, basically.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, tweet bot does this on Twitter now.
Pretty good.
Do you get to choose how long they're in timeout or is it like a fixed amount?
I haven't seen the details on how snooze works yet.
I don't know if it's.
Snooze until the election is over or snooze until.
Or the conference that they can't shut up.
about or yeah yeah
snooze until they don't mention
CrossFit for a week
I'd be all into that
yeah tweet bot does that
and they let you choose you can do
a day a week a month
and maybe even a year
I imagine they must be going
going to give you a
few options there but I haven't seen
the screen so do they say anything about when the web rollout
happens because I don't see it on the site yet
I don't let me see
I only think
I think I saw iOS in the coming weeks available on Android now. That's it. That's all they said. Okay. I'll fiddle around in the settings. I mean, it's a labyrinth as it is. Nobody uses the web anymore. The internet, the stupid web page. Yeah, you don't know how many people I run into that don't have a website. And it used to be they didn't have a website because they hadn't got with the times. Now it's, oh, I'm too young. We don't do websites. We're Gen Z. They're on platforms already. They have web sites. They have web sites. They have web.
websites, they're just embedded in other people's websites, and they don't see the difference.
And they're probably right, to be honest, because what's the difference for them?
Like, for us, the internet was our, the internet was the internet.
For them, the internet is whatever social media platform you prefer.
So, uh, different times, baby.
They people like their walled gardens.
Gen Z's like, hey, what if my garden was walled?
What if all my stuff was all contained within the particular ecosystem I like the most?
And we all look at that and go, come on now.
We were all fighting against the walled garden.
what are y'all doing kids you crazy kids anyway crazy kids well that's interesting uh anything else
they're adding to uh to to facebook are they going to turn it back into a hot or not rip off like
it was in the beginning they've added the uh article the back to the name no nothing like that
would be great let me put the facebook back on there hey i got an idea why doesn't david fincher
just drop everything and make a sequel because there's a lot of material now for what
book post the social network covered and what it is now you could really have fun with a movie
like that i think the social network too this time it's personalized that's right yeah but like there's
enough controversy enough weirdness enough Zuckerberg's turned to an android and talks in front of
congress every other day and like you know just a weird place it's all at now and jesse isenberg's
gotten older it's time it's it's been 10 years or whatever it's been yeah 20
Well, 11 years.
Same hoodie, different decade.
Same hoodie, different decade.
That's me.
I keep all my hoodies until they fall apart.
Honestly, this hoodie here, five years old.
Oh, yeah.
I'll keep it until I'm dead.
That's just the way.
I still have a tech TV hoodie.
Yeah.
It's probably the oldest hoodie that I have.
It might be the oldest hoodie I ever had.
When you wear it, are you wistful for those days, for those early days?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I start crying.
We're all a wistful for that.
It's not a hoodie, though.
It's a sweatshirt.
It's a, I have a fantastic.
Menace sweatshirt that
I got
before the movie came out and I just have
a hard time partying with it but
I never wear it ever.
What's on it? What's featured on there? Just logo?
It is a black
a black sweatshirt and then
embroidered on the chest on the side
is episode one, the Phantom
Menace or Star Wars episode one of Phantom
That's not so bad. It's not like a big...
It's not so bad. It doesn't have a picture of Jar Jar on it or anything.
I don't know what the first hoodie I ever
was. I mean,
I'm sure I had hooded things when I was a kid maybe, you know, growing up.
Yeah.
Like we out for out of the playground.
Sure.
Well, back then you kept, you had a look and you kept it, man.
I had the worst look ever, but I don't care.
It was mine.
And I kept it.
I seem to have a memory of thinking of hooded sweatshirts as being a kid's thing.
And when they started to become popular, thinking like, oh, that's so weird.
People look like little kids walking around with hooded sweatshers.
Everyone's a little kid now.
Well, I enjoy our time.
together when we talk about tech, but more over, I enjoy being on the Daily Tech News Show

All right, I'm going to close this freaking,
I still have the, what do you call it,
Baberoy all up, and it's...
Oh, the...
Oh, yeah, you don't need that anymore.
Driving me crazy.
All right, let's do recommendals, everybody.
They begin like this.
Nicole's hot here, but we're in Hurstead.
We're going to recommend stuff
we've seen on streaming services.
that we'd like to recommend to you find folks at home.
And Brian will begin.
We always start with Brian, so let's not change that.
Do you have a setup for this?
I do.
So this is a movie.
Before we get to this, I will throw out, since we don't have Nicole,
finished watching Big Mouth and it's great or caught up on Big Mouth.
It's excellent.
I know that was a recommendal a while back, just kind of getting some of these out.
It'll never end up as a recommendal, but I got to say,
the new Superman and Lois show on the CW is really good and it's not it's not as cheesy as the other CWDC stuff okay it's actually kind of good I have heard nothing but good things which surprised me too so may have to check yeah um all right so anyway there you go I think that's it uh I've been we've been watching a lot of stuff breeders season two is out uh that's Martin Freeman and oh yeah you recommended that last time I did it's it's it's
It's about parents who are horrible at being parents, but they're kind of funny.
Yeah.
And the chat's reminding me that I, Invincible is still on my list to make sure to catch, and I will.
Yeah.
And it's, the first three episodes are out.
It's one of these that's going to be coming out weekly.
So it's really good, but it's, as Stephen mentioned, they, they tear through the comics.
Yeah.
Like a lot faster, which I think is good for TV.
I think so, too.
I wonder if their plan is to not.
do it for very long like they want to just get it all done in a season or two or something i don't know
i can't tell but i'll be watching all right so uh my my recommendable is a movie today
okay excellent i'll play this audio of your movie here you go that was bad bad music and there is
nothing as bad in this world of bad music you know you can record overtakes no that was a novelty act
you want to have actual sexual intercourse right yeah what what the girl it's all
It's all about the girl, isn't it?
Yeah, the girl, yeah.
And you're gonna use somebody else's art to get her?
Are you kidding?
We're just starting.
We need to learn how to play.
Do the sex pistols know how to play?
You don't need to know how to play.
Who are you, Steely Dan?
You need to learn how not to play, Colin.
That's the trick, that's rock and roll.
And that takes practice.
And you're not a covers band, by the way.
Really?
No.
Every school has a covers band.
Every pub has a covers band.
Every wedding has a covers band.
And every covers band has a middle-aged member who'll never
know whether they could have made it in the music industry or not because they never
have the balls to write a song for someone else rock and roll is a risk you risk being ridiculed
but i don't know how to write a song close that door instead really it's going to be a long night
of school in the morning this is school i don't know what this is but i love it already
yeah that's um it's funny because that is jack rayner who is an irish uh the the main guy talking there
is Jack Rainer, who's an Irish actor who sounds like a guy doing a fake Irish accent.
But the dude looks like, especially in this movie, looks just like freaking Chris Pratt.
It's amazing.
Oh, yeah.
Look at that dude.
Oh, I like that guy.
Yeah, he was in Midsummer.
He was in one of the Transformers movies.
And he's in this movie, which is called Sing Street.
This is a movie that takes place in Dublin in the mid-1980s.
A kid named
What was it
Rowan?
What was the main character's name?
The main character is Connor.
Connor gets moved to a new school
because his dad,
Peter Baylish,
a little finger needs to cut some money.
And so sends him to a public school.
And
at this new school,
he sees a girl that he's attracted to
and decides that the way to get her is to convince her that they that she'd be great in music videos for his band of which he doesn't have he doesn't have a band so he needs to scramble a bunch of friends together who can play instruments put together a band so that they can do music videos and have her in them that's great uh it's great it is the sweetest film lucy boyton is the um is the woman he's interested in
she you might know her from the election a couple years ago is a series on
Netflix um right oh I know who that is yep looking at her now sense and sensibility she
was in yeah she's great but this is again this is the early 80s so these kids are getting
influenced by music videos at the time like Duran Duran uh haul and oats the cure the jam
it's like a great um this is my music right or our
music, the new wave
just coming out, those early 80s.
And so these kids are getting
influenced by all of these
musicians, not just in their sound, but also
in their look. And it's hilarious
to watch them evolve and say, okay, now we
look like the cure. Now we look like
Holland Oates.
Really catchy songs,
as a matter of fact, I think one of them might have gotten
nominated for a Golden Globe
or an Oscar or something.
This came out in 2016.
Just a really, really sweet,
sweet film and
something like 97% on
Rotten Tomatoes last time I looked or 95%
or something. Yeah, highly
I&B's got a high rating as well. This is
the director who did a whole bunch of
that modern love series that
everyone loves. Oh yeah, which is really
good. Some of that's really, really good.
And the movie once.
Right. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay,
no, I like this dude's work. Which also features
an Irish
band or
duo forming. This dude
you mentioned his name and I forgot it's uh hold on uh Jack Rainer Jack Rainer uh I had no
idea he was Irish I oh no he's not he's from Colorado wait a minute he was born in Longmont
but they moved to Dublin so they grew up oh that's crazy grew up in Ireland okay well I guess what
I was going to say was he does a killer now we're north of here yeah he does a killer
American accent in uh um summer midsummer yeah because he's one of the kids from the U.S.
goes over there. And I never, I never once went. Oh, I bet he's Irish or has an Irish
accent. Yeah. No. Yeah. Fooled me. Anyway, that's great. I will see this movie. So this is on,
here's the deal. It's on Amazon Prime. And it's one of those that's included in your prime
membership, but you have to endure about five commercial breaks. And they're quick, you know.
Sure. But until this is back on something like Netflix or HBO Max or something, then if you want to
see it, you see a few commercials with it. But you know what?
It's completely fine.
It's really, really good.
If you guys, by the way, if you guys want to see Jack Rainer in a very
uncomfortable, awkward, compromising position, see Mid-Summer.
I forgot about it.
God, no kidding.
Yeah.
That was wrong.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
He's the guy.
All right.
Cool.
I will watch that movie without hesitation, except I probably hesitate and watch
something else.
But you know, I'll watch it.
I'll watch it.
It's on my list.
So, Nicole is in the chat room saying, uh, recommendals early.
Are you around? Are you available to jump in?
Didn't she text us and say, did I get this wrong?
Hold on.
Now I feel dumb.
I got a, uh, didn't we get it?
I thought we got a thing.
I didn't get a text from her saying, uh, saying no, no recommendals.
Why do I have this in my head that she said, hold on a second.
I know I'm not going crazy here.
Oh, no, that's not it.
No, where is it?
Oh, my gosh, I'm going to lose my mind here.
I swear we got some communication from Nicole saying,
guys, I have a thing I can't get out of them on Wednesday for one of the kids or something.
I'll bring her in.
It didn't go to me.
Yeah.
I'll bring her in right now, but I don't know what happened there in my head.
That's really funny.
I wonder when this was.
I don't know.
She'll help clear this up now that I'm calling her.
Because I don't know why I think that.
that why i mean you got we got one of those from uh done away about today but that's probably
not what you're thinking no it was like a couple of days ago hi nicole it's all right if you want to just
you know so wait a minute why why do i think that there was something from you saying you had
an appointment why do i think that i don't know you didn't text me or any i'm looking at my text
i did not i did not did i dream this i like i've been preparing since last week for my clip for my
segment. I've been preparing for this role my entire life. Honestly, I may have, I may have
dreamed this or something. I swear, I got a text from you saying the boy had an appointment and
you couldn't get out of it. And we replied and said, oh, don't worry, we got you. No, no. This is,
I feel like I've gone insane. That's really funny. I really feel like I like last week when I
watched my recommendal, I was like, oh my God, I can't wait to talk about this.
I don't get it. I don't know what I did.
All right. Well, I feel stupid.
Hey, Nicole, I recommended a movie called Sing Street.
You should check it in.
Yeah, it's really good. It's on Prime.
It's on Amazon Prime.
Yeah, write that one down.
And you and Mark would like it.
Maybe not the kids so much, but it's really cute.
Prime.
Excellent. Prime.
All right. Well, I'll get mine out of the way.
And maybe I've dreamt watching this. I don't know.
Now I don't know what's real.
You're second guessing your own reality now.
everything's in question
everything's in question now
all right
here's mine
it's Brian already
knows what it is
because I've been
yapping about it
nonstop
it's been great
and I love it
and I'll play a little bit here
and people are
fans are going to know it right away
and for those who don't
I'm happy to introduce it
so here you go
computer
analyze a metal this thing's made of
computer
incorrect command
do the thing
where you figure out
what it's made of
request for spectrographic analysis
Uh, yeah, that's it, what you said.
Analysis proceeding.
Copper, iron, and acoustium?
Computer, acoustium.
A new alloy that amplifies sound vibrations.
Makes sense.
Developed by Shreve Sound Laboratory, Gotham City.
Oh, I know.
And the old man thought I couldn't do this stuff on my own.
All right, so.
Invincible.
It's, no.
What?
No?
They're not Gotham City.
Oh, I didn't hear Gotham City.
I thought you were watching Invincible.
No, I am watching, I am watching something that's old.
It came out in 1999, was the premiere, and it is Batman Beyond, currently on HBO Max.
And, you know, you're not wrong that it's a really well-made animated show.
So I guess it's like Invincible in that way.
Much like Invincible.
I loved it at the time
And getting to go back and rewatch them
Has been just an amazing treat for me
And it's gotten me to go read comics based on it
These characters and this sort of future
Batman take didn't exist until the series
And now it's like many comics and other stuff around it
Which are all very good
Batman Beyond is awesome
It's just it's the kind of concept
I'm really in what I watched it
it when it came out. I loved it. Yeah, it was great. And it's the kind of thing that normally I'd
be really cautious about. It'd be like, really, you're going to like do future Batman and then
Bruce Wayne's too old to do anything, but he'll kind of call the shots back at the office while
this kid goes out. What's next Batman babies? Right. There was kind of a fear that that's where
they were going for me. But they didn't, they didn't blow it. They nailed it. And it's really
very good. I've, I've been enjoying it like just immensely. I can't say enough about it. Now, it's
definitely that, you know, Bruce Tim, I'm not going to call it low rent, but you know,
it's not the most expensive animation process. It's pretty basic. But stories and acting in
particular are stellar, like so good. That's one thing about the Batman animated series and
then this, which is the same creators. They just had the best VO, the best actors, and people you
know from a million things, just guest acting all the time. They just show up and you're like,
oh it's brian cox oh it's freaking so-and-so like famous people left and right playing these different
roles and um it's just great it's just such an awesome thing uh dice tomato says it's called
stylized art that's not what i mean i'm talking about the animation itself that part is not so
stylized it's a hard it's a hard distinction to make and we don't have time on the show for me to
make it but uh it's very good and i love it and kids will love it and i think adults will love it
And if you like comic book stuff at all, it's basically just a breath of fresh air.
So it's all available there.
And it's HBO Max.
And they didn't, they didn't crop anything.
So there's no like forced widescreen or any of that.
They went with the original 4x3, which a lot of people like.
Sounds amazing.
Zach Snyder loves it.
Oh, Zach Snyder's all about that, baby.
Yeah, yeah, loves it.
So, yeah, it's a very cool take.
And one that, you know, it reminds me, I've been reading a lot of,
um, uh, uh, Harley Quinn as well. And I'd forgotten that Harley Quinn kind of like, um, I guess
Batgirls like this in a way that she didn't exist until the 60s show, right? So she came out of that
and then became, you know, a full blown part of the canon. Same thing for Harley Quinn. She didn't
exist before the animated series. And I'd forgotten that for me. My head is like, oh no, she just
always has been here. And I love it when Batman Beyond's like this. And I love it when Batman Beyond's like
I love it when these creators
find a way to make stuff happen
outside of the mainline comics
and then they're so good
that they just integrate them across the board.
It's just great.
So anyway, and then there's a whole
rabbit hole on DC Infinite if you want to read
to go find out more about Beyond
and then they have other characters
in that era that they've explored.
So basically you get to see all the big ones.
There was an episode yesterday.
I was telling Brian about it.
They basically made a fake,
Fantastic Four, even with an origin story and everything, there's a stretchy guy, there's a guy made out of molten rock.
They're just different enough that you're not breaking copyright or whatever, but they wanted to tell this story that's a little bit of a jab at the lore of the Fantastic Four stuff and made it not so quite bright and shiny.
It was a really interesting kind of subversive take on not even a DC property.
So anyway, they have stuff to say over there and it's cool.
It's on HBO Max.
Go check it out.
Okay.
HBO Max has so many shows that you just kind of go back to and remember it.
I started watching the middle again.
Oh, yeah.
I had never seen the pilot.
I didn't realize I'd never seen the pilot.
So they have that on HBO Max and I was like, oh.
How do you find out how they got to the middle?
Exactly.
You never know.
Do you know the middle?
Did you watch the middle?
I didn't see the middle.
But I know the premise.
For some reason, it's ringing a bell like Kim read it.
watched it.
It's, uh, is it Barbara Heaton or Patricia Heaton?
Patricia Heaton and, uh, and the guy from Ed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He was on Scrubs too.
He was the janitor on Scrubs.
No, he's the brother.
Wait.
No, the guy from Ed was the brother.
I don't think it was Ed.
It was the janitor.
Not Tom Cavanaugh, but his buddy, uh, that he always did the $10 bets with on Ed.
Isn't that the guy who was the janitor on Scrubs too?
Oh, was he?
Oh, that's a funny crossover.
He's the main guy, the main janitor on Scrubs.
Okay. Yeah. If that's who you're talking about, that's funny because the guy who played Ed came on Scrubs.
He came on Scrubs and was like the brother. Oh, really? Tom Cavana.
Yeah. No. Wait.
Tom Cavana was the guy from Ed.
He played Ed?
Yeah, he played Ed.
Okay. Then he's the one that came on Scrubs and was the brother of Maine Scrubs guy.
Yeah. That's not who I'm talking about.
I know. You're talking about the janitor guy.
the point is he was also on ed that's why i'm saying yes they all are everyone's working together
all the time is the point all right well that i might be and i might be wrong about ed i'm looking it up
and it's uh it is a different guy oh all right well i don't know it is but yeah
neil flynn is the janitor he he was not on ed neither of you watched the middle we didn't
nope oh you should watch it okay let me see where it is on the uh the tadpool binge recommendation
Oh, it's one of my favorite sitcoms.
The middle, the middle, the middle.
Yeah, Tom Cavana. Brian, you're right.
It is Tom Cavanaugh that was on Scrubs.
I love the middle.
I, the earlier episodes aren't as good as the later episodes, but it's a family
in Indiana, and they're trying to make ends meet, and it's, you know, a lot of slapstick
kind of comedy, but I adore it.
And they have three quirky kids, Brick, who does the voice on the Lion King anime that
series. He does a lot of voice acting work. Um, and then Sue, oh, poor Sue. Anyway.
Wow. The earlier episodes also had, um, oh, he always played a, he would do a monkey on
S&L. What was his? He would do a monkey. Oh, yeah, the little guy, Chris Catan. He's in those
earlier episode and it's really weird because he eventually goes away. Um, Patricia Heaton's
boss is
um
oh
Bill Murray's older brother
I think
oh Brian Doyle Murray
is that he wrote
Caddyshack
I think that's Brian Doyle
Murray is that is that right
I mean
Brian Doyle Murray is Bill Murray's older brother
I don't know if I think
I'm pretty sure that's him he plays the owner of the
used car a lot that
he's the mayor of Puxatani
Pennsylvania yeah okay
he's a he's the boss that screws over
Clark with his jelly of the month club on
that's right exactly
I love it
everybody loves the middle
yeah
but yeah
there's my side
recommendal but that's not my
recommendal so I'm going to give you
my recommendal
let me find
I'm in I'm in
the clip I have two today
they both fit together
because as you remember
I don't know if you remember
but I texted you and I went down
this weird weird rabbit hole
and I'm going to see now I remember
this conversation. I'm going to take you down this rabbit hole with me. I just don't remember
the one I made up at my head about you not being here today. That one I don't remember.
All right. Here we go. So here's the documentary on Hulu that I'm recommending. Yeah, you were,
I'm very interested in this. All right, let me hit play here and we'll listen to it together.
Are you not in a good note. Good. This is what I want on tape. So I'm not smiling for one.
Like, the whole world thinks she always is.
At seven years old, I was cast as Punky Brewster.
I remember, Saved by the Bell,
director saying, the minute you walk onto the stage,
you're no longer a child anymore, you're an adult.
Did you miss me?
There were 12 kids in the business.
We all knew everyone.
We would talk for two, three hours,
and fall asleep on the phone.
We were just so close.
I carried a camera with me everywhere I went.
We weren't concerned about the internet.
We did the things that teenagers did.
We just happened to be in Hollywood.
Hey, what's up?
This is Mark Wahlberg calling for some late.
It was I'm kind of innocent to begin with.
Then it just...
It got pretty crazy.
It was like R-60s.
I started developing rapidly.
People were calling me punky boobster.
The last couple weeks so weird.
Having guys pinched my ass, you know.
Men treated me more like a woman and not a 13-year-old.
This business, I don't feel it's a place for children.
You start getting in your head, worrying about how you're perceived.
Friends were reaching out for help.
It seemed like I was losing a friend every week.
Dude, that's hardcore.
This looks, I'm totally going to see this.
All these faces.
It's weird.
Yeah.
Fucking Brian Austin Green.
So that is Kid 90, who you heard was Salé Moonfry, who played Punky Brewster.
And for whatever reason, she decided to film with a big old camp corner.
She was blogging before it was vlogging.
Yeah.
Her entire childhood, early adulthood.
And Eva, Eva hasn't actually come in and right when I'm talking.
So.
This is so weird.
There's like, Corey Feldman, Perry Farrell, Virgil Fry, David Arquette.
And then there's Buzz Aldrin for some reason.
Later on our DiCaprio is in this.
He, this is what I found interesting, actually was a producer, maybe an executive producer.
Oh, but like a ghost one, right?
What do they call that ghost producer where he didn't want to, he didn't want his name on the front?
No, his name's on it, though.
I saw it.
So you have, like you said, Brian Austin Green's Stephen Dorff.
Let's see
You heard David Arquette
They don't interview Charlie Sheen
But Charlie Sheen is brought up
Because there's a whole plot point with that
With her
And it's really following her journey
Through growing up a child actor
And developing and how she was treated
And it's actually very sad
It's a sad, sad story
and I have a feeling
that there was probably a lot of stuff
left on the cutting room floor
there's some triggers in it
so if you're sensitive
of that stuff you probably don't want to watch this
there's a new punky Brewster on Peacock
did you know about this?
Yes yes she she revitalized the character
it's her
yeah like she's not it's not a new little kid
and she's playing the cameo mom
soccer mom and uh yeah wow mark paul gossler what is in it too oh really that's who you've heard say i would
never let my kids in this business um Emmanuel lewis there's some old footage of him uh there's
mario lopez just everyone you'll recognize everyone and there was there's a scene with two guys
uh maybe you ever watch the movie waxworks uh yes about come cut that waxworks works
we had it on film sack
I absolutely love that movie
it's like the cheesiest horror movie
but there's a lot of young actors in there
you can kind of see how
the young actors all kind of mingled together
and it just
Sarah Gilbert's in there
it's a really fascinating
kind of snapshot
of that time frame
when you know the internet
was not around
so I got to go on
Okay, they set up this question.
They don't actually say what happened.
She doesn't disclose who it is.
But I'm like, who is she talking about?
So I went on the internet because I'm curious just to see if anybody had talked about it.
And I found a Reddit forum that was talking about, I can't say it on the air.
I'll call it the cha cha-cha party.
The cha-cha party?
The posse, the posse who's, yeah, the first, it's the posse that smells like
Gwyneth Paltrow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So anyway, and the person was talking about that and Leonardo DiCaprio saying the reason it's
probably he was left out of the documentary as much as he probably was filmed.
And I was like, what is, what are they talking about?
So I started Googling that, which led me to a movie that.
that was never released in the United States or Canada called Don's Plum.
And of course, I watched that because you can watch it on YouTube.
So here's like, I couldn't find a clip that didn't have cussing in it.
So I'll start it and you can go for a little bit with it.
You can kind of see kind of the general vibe of the movie.
All right.
You'll see who it is.
Don's plum.
Don's plum.
Never released in the United States, but you can watch it.
Okay.
So let's hop in here.
Let's take in a second.
Oh, the link didn't work.
Hold on.
Let me try it again.
Okay.
Copy the link.
There you go, buddy.
All right.
Paste, there you go.
That's the stuff.
Hey, you're doing that.
Yeah.
Oh, it's Toby McGuire.
It's Toby McGuire.
Juliet
you off soon
now
now? How are you doing
I am just great
I am just having a blast
Oh it makes me want to punch him
I hate him so much
So I only gave you this clip
Because when they actually get to the
diner, which is called Don's Plum.
It's Leonardo DiCaprio,
Jenny Lewis,
Toby McGuire.
Who's the,
the douche from,
I don't want to say
ballers, it's the other one.
Entourage.
Entourage.
He's in it.
Yeah, it's the guy who is the,
not the douche, but like the
manager, manager of the douche.
All kinds of.
Oh, Jeremy Piven?
Jeremy Piven?
Oh, are you talking Jeremy Piven?
No, no, not Jeremy Piven.
blonde kid who was kind of the manned kid yeah yeah yeah what's his name i can't remember
Kevin Kevin Connolly Kevin Connolly so anyway when it comes down to it when you start I'll just
call him the posse Leonardo Caprio pulled in his competition to be his friend base in real life
okay this is how the story goes that all of these bros kind of came together
and they're all vying for the same movies
and the way this goes on this particular movie
you can actually find the depositions between Leonardo DiCaprio
and I just based on his name Toby McGuire
and they suppress suppress this movie
from being released
because they were just coming up
in their career and they didn't
like it was supposed to be a short
and it got turned into a full length movie
and like there's all this
posturing that's going on
and it I find
I found it an interesting movie
because it really does kind even
they are acting and the and the producers
did say a lot of it is ad
lived but they
rehearsed it so they would
they kind of developed
the film
as they went and then as it
developed. They rehearsed it more and did the scenes that way. And so there's just a lot of like
insider. You see these people as people. I mean, they're, I mean, Leonard Caprio had a plan for
his career. So did Toby McGuire. And they felt this, this particular film did not lend itself
well to the trajectory. Because this is before Spider-Man for Toby McGuire. This
is before Romeo and Juliet for a leader-in-ard DiCaprio.
It's probably before Gilbert's Grape or whatever the hell that was called.
It was before.
It's all before.
So you can see how they would be protective of their career in this coming out as a feature film.
But yeah, you can go to YouTube and just Google Don's Plum.
And it's all in black and white.
It's very artsy.
There's a ton of cussing.
but it actually does kind of take a snapshot of the 90s pretty well.
Did you want to just flick Toby McGuire's ear or something?
Just want to freaking change.
No, I wanted to do that to Leo.
Oh.
Oh, God.
Yeah, well.
Yeah, it's like the Jim Jarmish coffee and cigarettes, black and white.
Yeah.
It's kind of like an ad-lib, mostly ad-lib thing, but this one sounds way too sure.
Morrow Prime brings up kids, the movie Kids.
It is definitely in that vein, and it's funny that you bring up kids because in Kid 90, the documentary, Soleil Moon Fry, actually befriends a lot of the kids that were in that movie.
Oh, really?
Rosario Dawson and...
The skaters.
The skaters.
The skaters.
All right.
Justin Pierce, Chloe Savini.
The sad thing about Kid 90 is how many, how many of her friends she lost.
Do you remember the kid that played in Neverending Story 2?
Jonathan.
Oh, right.
Beautiful blue eyes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I can't remember the other kid.
The documentary deals with.
suicide a lot.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
It's a hard watch.
But yeah.
Interesting.
Never ending story two.
Why isn't it listed?
NIMB has one and three.
They don't have.
Brandis.
Yeah,
Brandis.
Brandis.
Was the last name?
They're saying in the chat,
Jonathan Brandis.
I think I'm saying it right.
Who was the first kid?
Oh, Noah Hathaway was the first kid.
He didn't pass away.
He committed suicide.
Who?
Jonathan Brandis.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I know.
I'm saying the,
I'm saying the first movie.
he was a different kid.
Yes, yes.
That was not the same kid.
The never-ending conversation.
The never-ending, this is the never-ending story.
The kid from ladybugs.
He was in ladybugs.
I love ladybugs.
What is ladybugs?
What is that?
I don't even know what that is.
So Jonathan Brannis' character, he's really good at soccer.
So they dress him up as a girl to play on the girl's soccer team.
Oh, here it is.
It's adorable.
Is it, though?
Oh, that's-
I thought it was.
A Rodney Dangerfield movie, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, great.
It's when Rodney Dangerfield does coach's soccer.
I'd watch that just because I like Rodney.
It's cute.
It's cute.
At least that's my memory of it.
My nostalgia can be, you know, iffy at times.
Well, I'm really...
And that's the key to this 90s.
She actually did all this filming and then just locked it away for 20 years.
And she had been avoiding going back to him because she was like, my main thing was,
I wanted to see if my memories were accurate.
Like, do I remember it the way that it happened?
Yeah.
And the, you know, the filming of everything that she filmed helped her kind of process that
trauma that she experienced.
Well, I don't even know if the last text chat I had with you happened.
So I know this feeling.
I'm looking here
I forgot this Brandis kid was in Sequest
He was the main kid in Sequest
He was in the original It
He was one of the kids
He was Bill, yeah, Bill, the main kid in It
Yeah, he was all over the place
Yeah, he was very sad
So they talk about that
All right, that's totally my kind of jam
I like documentaries that dig into
90s especially seems
You know
For me, I grew up in the 90s
Oh yeah, no, these were your people
right this was your thing this was your time yeah I knew I recognize everyone yeah that's on her
camera so the can't do both the Corrie's get some screen time Hame and I didn't see Corey Hame I did
see Corey Feldman and he talked she's she's going around and she's asking all of her friends
you know like what's the meaning of life kind of questions and and he he's his response is
actually a good one all right so but Corey Hame is not in there that's another tragic
story. But, um, yeah, based on other stuff that I know about, like, what happened to Cory
Feldman, what happened to Cory Hame, Charlie Shane, like, I, it's an icky kind of watch if you
kind of know some of the other stories. Why is Perry Farrell in this? I mean, he was a, he was a,
you know, take a dump in your bathtub. You want me to come to your house? I think, didn't he have
something to do with kids? Did he? I mean, I don't know. Did he? Was just the leader of the band.
I forgot the band. Jane's Addiction. And later, porner for Pyros, but I don't think he was a, I don't think there was
I was wondering the same thing too. I hadn't really dug too deep into it, but he came up a lot when they
were talking about when she moved to New York and met the skaters from kids and all of that.
Well, he got caught stealing when he was five. Just once.
Oh, gosh. That's a fun song for me to listen to. Anyway, hey, Nicole, these are fine recommendations. Well done. So go check those all out on her Twitter account. It's in Nicole Spag. She'll put all these up there. And I promise next time I will not be confused about where you are.

So let's close out March with a cover of tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree.
I was going to pull up.
Let's see.
Let me grab this artist's name and get a translation because she's a Japanese punk, like pop punk musician.
Okay.
I really like this.
All right.
Uh, whatever, you know.

She's a Korean artist.
Uh, and her name translates to Judine or Judeine, J-U-D-Y-N-E.

So we'll let you guys know in the morning if there's anything weird.
Right now, plan on a show tomorrow.
But dental appointment weirdness possible.
So I'll let you know.
Your dentist is short and weird.

Anyway, we'll let you know tomorrow one way or the other.
Hopefully I can just move it down the day.
