It would seem that a power much greater than mine has decided that mankind must live. I can only bow to that decision. Now bear my Arctic blast. It's fun to watch the young ones think they invented April Fool's Day hoaxes. And by fun, I mean unfathomably tedious. This is the morning stream. We only get to play that once a year. And sometimes I forget.

Well, exactly. Some years, not at all. I don't know if I've ever heard that. I'm sure I have because I'm sure we used it one year for April Fool's. I'm sure we used it the year he did it. And then I think I forgot I had it. And then the other day I went, oh, I have that. I should use that.

Make a note. And I made a note. And then yet this show almost started without it anyway because it's just a little detail. You know, you forget. Forget. Yeah. Thank you, Scott Fletcher, for your timely. We've been fortunate, I think, to have a lot of years of TMS where April Fool's Day fell on a day that we weren't doing a show.

Either it was a weekend or it was before we started doing Fridays or something. Those were the lucky times. That's right, yes. Although so far I haven't really felt bombarded by it. Maybe I'm not following the things I used to that would give me a lot of April Fool's business, but I haven't really seen anything. Most things that I'm getting are, you know, you open your email. and it's like ads from places you've bought stuff before. We're having a sale today.

No fooling. Yeah. Yeah, they like to, that's, yes. They're backpacking on this thing, but not in a literal way. They're like saying, hey, we're not joking around with these prices. Right. And it's really a problem that they caused themselves by buying into it when they did, right? When they probably did send out April Fool's Day jokes as part of the mailing list.

Now it's like, okay, no, no, we're not. I'm not doing it. Yeah. Yeah. It's a bit of an obnoxious reality we live in. It is. However, I call it shitheads Christmas.

There you go. April Fool's Day. Here's what we should do. We should make it the only day of the year where we don't try to fool each other. Because it feels like in the culture now, it's constantly you're wondering whether a thing you're seeing is real or fake or in good faith or not. So let's have one day where let's flip it. Let's flip the whole thing. The whole, it just invert.

Command I in Photoshop. April Unfuls Day. Yeah. And then that day is just 100% correct. Everything has to be, by law, we'll institute laws, pass them at the highest courts, and everybody has to adhere to the truth for one day because the rest of the year we suck anyway. So let's just do the one good day. And then the rest of the year can be all, continue to be as fake as it is. That's how we do this.

I knew I had, I knew I had the solution. It was just a matter getting it out. It's just a matter of time filing it. yeah yeah anyway it's dumb if you see any that are funny brian you'll share them with me but oh absolutely absolutely well yeah and i know you know blizzard does it well i miss uh taxicab reminded me about the think geek uh april's stuff was always really good yeah um they're gone right that's done that's done yeah game stop drag their crap right into the ground basically they took something nice mm-hmm and uh bought it for

they gave somebody a lot less money for it than they deserved, and then they dragged into the ground, much like they do with everything. Yep. It's lame. It's lame what they did there. But anyway, we'll soldier on anyway, without them. That's what we'll do. Yes, that's right. We got a show. It's a nice show today.

Wendy's not here, though. I hate to inform everybody listening at home. We couldn't do her today because we have to cut today's slightly short. I have to go to the dentist and, uh, it's just a regular cleaning, right? Yeah, it's a checkup and of, you know, they're doing the, this is the time, this is the one yearly visit. So I do it twice a year for regular visits, six, every six months. And this is the one where they do the full rotational freaking robot scan thing of my skull. Okay. The x-rays, yeah. Yeah. Well, they normally do just the regular x-rays where they just stick a thing in your mouth and hold the thing and say, don't move. But this is like a stand inside of it, like, almost,

like standing, I don't even know what to call this thing, MRI machine looking thing. Yeah. He always has the latest tech or whatever for dental stuff. So I'll stand in the middle of this thing and it goes, Root, what, it goes all around me and makes this cool sound. Uh-huh. And then makes these really cool, like, 3D scans of my jaw line, my teeth, my everything.

Okay. Yeah. It's pretty cool. Oh, interesting. Yeah. Mine, I've never, the only time I experienced that way, was when I had that 3D scan of me done at Denver Comic-Con that I turned into a 3D print. It gave me a big unit.

Oh, right. And you had the wiener. Well, gave me a bigger unit. Slightly, only. Slightly, barely, discernably larger. But is it just going around your head or is it doing your whole body? No, it's about, it goes around your head, but it is about shoulder height. Okay.

And it raises and lowers depending on your height. So you stand in it and it just kind of. And you don't need to put anything in your mouth or anything. like it just wow that's weird it's just who knows what it's doing to myself though right exactly well the x-rays are always fun because you know they uh they put this lead lined apron on you um which only covers your body yeah and then they're firing something at your head yeah now is that thing so bad that you need protect my body but it's okay to shoot it up my head yeah it's fine for your the soft tissue of your brain matter that's right exactly

To take the full blast of it. The x-rays they do now where I just lay there and they do them, they no longer do the full lead thing. They have some newer tech that just is like a, I don't know, I don't even know if it's x-ray technology anymore. It's something else, maybe, some kind of infraredy business. Infraredi business. In Freddy.

In Freddy. And so I haven't had to wear a lead vest in a while, but I'm not going to lie. When I used to wear the lead vest, when they used to do that, I found it comforting, not because it was doing any, kind of job but because it was like a big heavy blanket it's a weighted blanket yeah exactly it's nice it's like oh leave that on there the whole procedure don't take it off is there any reason they couldn't just give you a weighted blanket for the entire procedure like when they're cleaning your

teeth give me a weighted blanket maybe it's because they're heavy and hard to store i don't know maybe bring your own maybe i'd bring my own i have one i have a 20 pounder yeah yeah it's not a bad idea i usually take a little fidget cube i take my spider man fidget cube because then i just you know I play around with it in my hands, and I'm completely unaware of everything. That's going to get edited out for Jamie. Yeah, he'll do that. He'll find that. He'll seek that out.

I play with the fidget cube in my hands with the fidget cube. And while the fidget cube is in my hands and I'm playing with the fidget cube, I don't think about what's going on thanks to the fidget cube. Wait a minute. You've nicknamed your penis the fidget cube. I don't think I understand. Weird. Weird.

Well, anyway. Bigger unit. Yeah, no, that's actually a good idea because what I do is like I'll have a little tissue with me or something because they've given it to me for, I don't know what. Oh, no, this happens at the eye doctor. That's what I'm thinking of. No, when I'm at the eye doctor and they give you the shots or the drops. Oh, yeah. And then you're like dab, dab, dab, dab.

And then you're holding this tissue. Well, if it's like a really invasive, like, stare into the back of my skull kind of eye exam, I tear that thing up. I just like, right? It turns into frigging in your hands. Yeah. It's the worst. There's like a little dust everywhere, and if it's that Chinese doctor I had, it'd put his knee in my crotch the whole time.

Oh, man, there's no, there's no getting away. Anyway, so I'll let everybody know how that goes. It's stupid. I wish I could have canceled it or moved it entirely, but it is what it is. I forgot. I scheduled it, blah, blah, blah. I will, speak in a weighted blankets, I'm going to make a recommendation for my fellow artist friends out there.

These days, you can plop your butt down on a couch and get a lot of art done because of technology. And one of those texts for me is an iPad, 12.9 inch iPad Pro with a pencil 2.0. And I will plop my butt down on that couch and I will get work done. I did last night. So I finished up yesterday's Fred and Can that way, which would go up sometime after my dental appointment. Anyway, sitting on the couch and that's fine and everything. Kim's watching Gilmore Girls again.

So that's on. Wow, how many times is this? This is like fourth for her. or fourth maybe, I think. She loves that show. She can't. It's like, I don't know what it's like for, I'm trying to think my comparison would be like TNG or something

where I could just watch a season and keep going, you know? Like, I think it's like that for her. But anyway, so that's happening. And I'm sitting there, and that's all fine. But I'm not the most comfortable person right now. I was feeling a little bit antsy. I don't know why. I just kind of like, I got to get this done.

I got other things in my mind. And then in walks, this is about 8 o'clock last night. in walks Carter's dog Ripley or as Van calls her Ripy so now I call her Ripy Ripy because Ripy is cute I think that is a way better name so and she farts occasionally so Ripy anyway so Ripy nice Ripy comes in the room she's now she's not she's not full grown yet even though I don't know how much bigger she can freaking get my gosh like Brimeriners I guess they keep growing like well into their second year and she's not even through her first year yet

And she's a freaking enormous. She's growing out of her harness. Like, she's just huge. But she's so sweet and warm and cuddly and affectionate. And she just wants to be with you and just loves people. And we'll just stare at you to get your approval. She's just the sweetest dog. So sitting there drawing, feeling a little stressed,

Rippy comes wandering in, climbs up on the couch and proceeds to just. And this isn't a very big couch. I'm already too big. for the way I'm sitting in it. It's like a love seat, you know, type thing. And the dog comes in and just pours herself into all the empty space that is left on the couch, just kind of, and then lays her big dumb head right here on my chest and just stares at me while I draw.

I'm telling you right now, if there's a better way to spend your time, I don't know what it is. I can't think what it would be. A weighted dog is what you want, is what I'm saying. Who needs a weighted blanket when you've got a weighted dog? They actually generate heat. They do. They leave a little hair and they stink sometimes,

but it's the greatest feeling and thing in the world. And, uh, I mean, I got to say, like, if I look at the pandemic and, you know, things that brought me the most like, I don't know what the word is, solace for the, for that weird year. I think it was dogs.

I think I got the most out of my dogs. And, uh, that's cool. I'm happy about that. Yeah. They, they affected me in positive ways. So thank you, dogs. Dogs are great. Anyway, also, I think my theory is proving out that the bigger your dog, the more kind-hearted

they are, because they don't have anything to prove. You get a little yippy dogs, and they're just a little shit-hits. And certainly not applying to every dog. But, yeah, that is, it does feel like little dogs have a little bit of a Napoleon complex sometimes that makes them overcompensate for what they don't have with teeth and the barking and the whatnot. Because what else are they going to do, right? They're not going to fight.

That's all they've got. That's all they have is they're loud, annoying bark and little tiny teeth that aren't going to puncture anything. But still, they got what they got. And I don't blame them for trying to use what they've got. But the bigger they get, dogs like her or dogs like a Great Dane or something,

they don't care. They're just like, oh, well, I'm just going to lay here. They're happy. They're good. Bigger is better. I've got nothing to prove. you've got an empty lap yeah well anyway I can't recommend it enough

all right that's what I'm saying get yourself a guy watch just like really briefly Tina watched a little bit of again we're we're we're making our plans for Ireland so we've got to lock a bunch of things down and we're just making sure we're happy with our itinerary

because you know once we get into this it's going to be really hard to stick and move and say oh we really want to do that now as part of our trip sure and so it's like, all right, let's make sure that we're, like, and all the things we're saying. So we started watching some Rick Steve's travel, Rick Steve's Europe. No, Rick Steve's is a, a Rick Steve, I guess, is a travel, aficionado of travel guru. Okay.

And he's put out back in, well, the ones he did for Ireland were back in 2004. And it was basically travels through the northern part. western part and the southern part of Ireland. And then I think he also has one on Dublin, which is in the east. But for whatever reason, even though these were made in 2003, 2004, and we're

seeing things in the background that people are carrying around and technology and cars that are like, okay, yeah, that does look like a 2003, 2004 car. Maybe early 2000s, late 90s, possibly. For whatever reason,

him and his family seem like, they were plucked out of 1989 and dropped into Ireland. He's like talking about The Great Potato Famine of 1857 is

he's like going on about I love it. I'm in love with it. Oppressive British rule and all that stuff and that's great. Is it Rick Steve's or is it just Rick Steve

apostrophe S Europe? Rick Steve? That's a great name. man, Rick Steve, yes, Rick Steve. Oh, that's so cool. I love that, man. It's funny because he wears, he wears, like, what looks like members, gray or brown members only jackets, and it's the kind where when it's sitting on you and you have the very

bottom of it zipped, but no other part of it zipped, it creates this weird pear-shaped bulge at the bottom. Your body may not be in there. Okay, it really is Rick Steves with an ass. Your body might not be filling that bulge, but the members-only jacket creates that bulge. And he looks like a, like, Dilbert or, like, some sort of comic strip character. Like, you're out, like, okay, now we're going to look at the farms where the monks live. Oh, man, it's great stuff.

No, that's great. Yeah, we're having so much fun watching this. I love that. You watch him, and he's, like, really engaged with whoever the tour guide is that he's talking to, and he's doing a little bit of narration over the tour guide, talking about what they're experiencing. and then you look over at his kids and his kids are like, you know, like, dead-eyed, like, oh, my God, every trip is like this. Oh, there he is. I'm just, I just wanted to get a visual here.

I've got Rick Steve. Now I know who this is. Jedi 71. Rick Steves did not sing disco like those. Rick Dees. Come on. Come on, you guys. Get your DJ business straight.

Come on. Wow. Yeah, there he is. Born Richard John Steve's Jr. 1955, still Rock. But anyway, it is still, it's still

he's got this weird like, yeah, okay, now we're going to go, you know. I do love it. I do love watching this stuff. And we have like, we have altered a couple things like he was saying, Galway may not have a lot of the sites,

but it's a really nice place. It's like, oh, that's all I need to hear. Okay, so Galway, we're staying, but we're not going to like, They're going to live there. We're going to plant some stuff outside of Galway now. Sure. Galway.

Did you, so you found your ASMR is what you're saying. That's what you're, your ASMR is Rick Stee. That's exactly. He's not the dog on my lap with the way to, you know, the way to dog go while I draw. But there is something kind of,

kind of calming about listening to Rick Steves talk about, oh, he's, look at that. So it's not just, you know, not just a series that he did specifically about Europe. He apparently is the Europe.

Oh, yeah. America's leading authority on European travel, according to the website, ricksteves.com. Yeah, and his Wikipedia page goes on for miles about Europe, everything Europe. So, he's all over the place. My guess is that he's made. Apparently, while his kids were looking dead-eyed at the camera, you know, they were thinking about how to fix his

Wikipedia page for him. Yeah, Robits. Robots. Well, that's fantastic. Yes, he is American, everybody. He's from here. He's from here, but boy, howdy. Does he like Europe? He does like Europe I was going to say one of the

Oh Just a quick contrast Because you reminded me of it Big dog laying on you while you draw Great, no problem Rainer laying on me while she draws Kind of a problem Because she does this thing

Where she thinks she should be getting my attention So she'll put her whole head and neck Over the drawing space And stare at me like this Yeah So I can't draw it when she does that She does it with my When I play the switch

She'll do the same thing sit in my lap and then eventually crank her head over so their whole head is covering my freaking island on Animal Crossing or whatever it is I'm playing at the time. So knock it off, weird, smaller, bat-like dog. All right, Brian, we're going to play a digital thing, digital, trivial things, not digital things. Trivial things with digital digit. Digital, digit, is her name. Digit von Lerue. Wait till you see my digit. All right. Let's see. We're going to add her to call. This is what we do once a month on the show, usually the end of the month, but

this week we are doing at the very beginning of this brand new, fresh month, and it starts with this. Trivial things. Welcome to the show, Gidgett Von Roole. Hello, Gidgett. How are you? Good. How are you? I am great. That's fantastic. I missed you.

Wow. Yeah. That's intense. And speaking about that, actually, I stay up long enough to then watch all the Tadpool's comments on your video. So I'm going to start off by what they all said last time. Oh, lovely. Let's hear it. I haven't tracked any of that.

So let's hear what they had to say. Okay. Right. Hi, Tadpool. Okay. So this was the feedback from the last time that I was on. All right. And it's all just the positive stuff because the nasty stuff I just left off.

Yeah. I like that there are like five Merovina quotes on there. That's fantastic. That's right. If you like a transcript of today's show, don't worry. Gidgett will have one done for you tomorrow. And the next month. Trust me.

If you leave comments, I will read them out for you on this podcast. Believe me, there's nothing I like better when I go to a movie. And it begins with five minutes of the movie telling me what other people thought of the movie. Are you smart us, Brian? You're going to get the hard questions now. I like that you can flip that on a whim. All right. I don't even know what.

She's ready for me. What is our, I don't even know what our topic is this week or this month. I feel like you told us and then I spaced it. What are we doing? going to really enjoy this, enjoy this both of you, but I know especially Scott. Okay, so I'm breaking away from movies and this entire quiz is on board games. So Scott is going first on Monopoly. Oh, geez, Louise. Okay. I'm going first on Monopoly.

All right. Ask what's my question? No, I'm kidding. Oh. Pulling your leg. Brian told me you hate Monopoly. I do hate Monopoly. I do. I could probably answer some questions about it, but I do hate it. I do hate it. I couldn't think of a movie you hate. What is a movie you hate? Because I was trying to think of a movie that isn't just like, oh, yeah.

On film sack, I hated that. Is there a movie you actually, like, absolutely hated? Well, I've walked out of one movie before, and it was a fine mess with Ted Danson and Howie Mandel. I wish I would have remembered that. I could have been true. That would have been true. I think of questions about a fine mess.

I really, I disliked everyone's most hated movie. Because someone asked that on Twitter. earlier and you know people were saying sort of mainstream movies i mean look you know for big budget jack and jill's bloody awful but it's still and i know it's become a cult favorite um and people love to hate the movie but if you just sit down as like a cinephile and watch the room with chummy tommy that has to be the worst movie made it all the time because it's not like it was made on a budget right it's horrible but it's millions on it right but it's great but it's bad but it's great like it's it's the worst that's what i mean it's one of those hard things to say

you can you could pick just a trolls two and just go that's just a terrible movie but at least it was it had a story and it was filmed well and the acting's kind of bad but it's not as bad as the room you know it's the room is so bad and and i had to like put that down so anyway send in your list of your worst movies you've ever seen and i'll read them out next time all right but it's comedy films quiz. Oh, good. Okay. Maybe you'll ask about my least favorite film of all time, the Beverly Hillbillies.

Oh, yeah, that's a comedy of sorts. Yeah, that's not a good movie. No, it's fine. It is fine. It's, oh, I like that movie. Look, it's no Jack and Jill. See, the reason I hate that more than Johnny Nimannock, which I walked out of, the reason I hate Beverly Hillbillies more is because I didn't walk out of it.

You stayed the whole time. I stayed the whole stupid time. Dabney Coleman, Chloris Leachman, freaking Jim Varnie. It's great. All have done much, much better things. I'd like that movie. Scrooge.

Oh, I don't like Scrooge. It is one of those things that people say, you know, you know, dying is easy, comedy is hard. Yeah, that's true. So everyone's got very, very different. Someone's doing a comedy, the greatest comedy poll on Twitter at the moment. And some of the movies that they're putting in the options,

I wouldn't even consider a comedy. Well, keep in mind. You know, for me, a comedy is something that you laugh at. pretty much all the way through. But here's the important distinction with my like of that film. I don't think the Beverly Hillbillies movie is funny per se. I think that it does a great job of being a modern film version of what makes the Beverly Hillbillies the Beverly Hillbillies.

And none of that includes that it's that funny because I don't think it's very funny. It's all pretty stupid and on the nose. You know who did it exactly right for that sort of thing, taking a TV show and turning it into a movie. First of all, the Brady Bunch movie. nailed it because they were living in that era in mod it was self-aware the other one was 21 Jump Street oh yeah that was all right I think that did it really well and and actually Michael Mann did a good job with um Miami Vice oh I liked my yeah yeah Miami Vice was good a lot of people hate that I like that the sort of the style of the show was but if you're going

to do like the the sort of Brady Bunch type of TV show which is so corny but I loved it when I was watching it, you'd do it like that. And they absolutely nailed it, I think, with that. But anyway, so, all right, so Scott won the first one for this year. Brian won the second one. So it's Scott going first. All right. And these are of any era or just a specific era of comedy?

Any era. Okay. I'm breaking out. I am breaking out. Yep. I've gone. Shedding the bonds that kept her in the 80s. And, sorry.

Breaking that glass. ceiling of 80s films. Sounds good. I am. I feel special. Right. Okay. All right, Scott.

So number one, in the movie City Slickers, what did Mitch, played by Billy Crystal, name the calf, he helped deliver. Was it A, Barry, B,

mooie, C, Norman, or D, Sir Farts a lot. Oh, have you hidden the tadpool? Yeah,

I don't know. I'm in front of me. Um, You know, I have not been talking you guys later. Don't you worry. I mean, you don't have to hide them. You can have them up because you already know the answer. Yeah, I've got them up.

That's fine. Yeah, no, I'm saying I'm hiding them. They're too far away. They're on another screen. Plus, we don't want Gidgett to get distracted and turn this into a three-hour segment. Yeah, we don't want that. So let's do. Oh, Brian, you're right?

We're going to do. I'm going to say, I have an answer. My answer is. The Wendy's not even on today. So what's it matter? Here's mine. This is the one I'm going to say. Very.

You go to the dent. It's Barry. It's Barry. Barry. Barry. Barry. Is it Barry? No.

Damn it. Brian. Norman. No, I don't remember this. That movie. I love that movie. I don't remember any of it. I love that movie.

I don't remember any of it. You must have loved it. I wish I, I, I'd probably seen it twice, once in the theater, once on VHS or something. And then that's it. It's been a long time. But I liked it when I saw it. I saw it the cinema and I didn't actually like it the first time. And it was only when it came out on home entertainment, rewatching it, I really enjoyed it.

And I find that with a lot of movies, especially Quentin Tarantino movies. Don't really like them the first time I see them. And then next time I watch them, absolutely love them. Nice. Okay. Who was his wife in that? Was it Nancy Travis or Bonnie Hunt or who was it? It wasn't Bonnie Hunt.

It was the woman that. I was going to say something horrible. Never mind. mind, just move on. Yeah, let's not get on this tangent. All right. Yeah, let's not go there. Okay, Brian.

Yes. All right. So number two, in the film, the other guys, what car does Detective Alan Gator Gamble drive that homeless people like having orgies in? Is it an A, a Hyundai longing hybrid? Is it a B, a Toyota Prius? Is it C, a Nissan Leaf, or is it D, a Hummer SUV? All right.

So this is the Will Ferrell. Marky Mark thing. Yeah, and he's the sensible guy. So it is an electric car, so I know it's one of the first three. I think it's, I'm going to say it's the Prius. You are right. Homeless people loved having sex in the Prius. That makes sense because it's more of the, that would be the stereotype name, right?

That is exactly. You know, you wouldn't get the comedy effect of the, of the, the Nissan Lee for the Hyundai. Right. At least not that. It's the mainstream hippie car. You think of the hippie car. You think of that car.

Okay. Right. All right. Okay. All right, Scott. So who plays Mrs. White in the 1985 comedy film Clue? Is it? A.

Madeline Khan, B. Elaine Brennan. C. Leslie Ann Warren or D. Tim Curry. I like Clue, but I don't love Clue like some people do. I prefer murder by death, but I like both of them. I like Murder by Death a lot.

Oh, murder by death is so good. Oh, so good. That was good. It's wonderful. I like her. I really like her. I'm going to say, Madeline Khan, I think. The Madeline Khan, please tell me it's her. Yes, it is. Okay, good.

I remember Leslie Unworn was. Scarlet, but I was going to, I was going to guess Eileen Brennan if it came to me, so I'm glad it didn't come to me. Yeah. I'm kind of sad. It didn't now. And I think Ellen Brennan was Mrs. Peacock. Okay. Yeah. See, I had those two foot. And Tim Carrey was the weight, the waiter, but love. Well, yeah. Well, yeah. We figured

that he was not on this list. Yep. Oh, and high sovereign Bohemian, if you listen. Hi. Extra shout out. Because he said it was pretty. All right. Clark, Frank. Clark, Gack. Okay, all right, Brian, number four.

Who directed the 1988 film Dirty Rotten Scoundrels? Was it A, Ron Howard, B, Frank Oz, C, John Landis, or D, Woody Allen? Oh, okay, I'm taking two off the board immediately. I'm not going to say which ones. It's between... This one's easy. was it Frank Oz shit

yes okay good yeah I was thinking was Frank Oz or John Lannis I knew it wasn't Ron Howard I definitely knew it wasn't Woody Allen but it's burned into my brain because I remember when I heard about it I went What no way

Yoda directed a movie Yoda made his own movie what and I never forgot Yodas made heaps of movies Yodas made one of my favorite Eddie Murphy movies and Steve Martin movies of all time Bo Finger Bo Finger's amazing He also

He also directed the British. Oh, it's so underrated. That is a hilarious movie. And the original death at a funeral, the British one. Yes, yes. That is hysterical. Frank Oz is very, very good at directing actors. Yeah.

And he directed a little shop of horrors. He's good at directing puppets, too. Yeah, he does be puppets. He's a piggy. Yeah. He also did that. I'm a huge fan of Frank Oz. He retweeted me once, and I'm his.

If he knocks him on front door, I am doing things to him that farm animals wouldn't do. So let me tell you this, though. He directed that thing Wendy had us all watch. You're from Australia, so farm animals are pretty loosey goosey down there, so that's saying a lot. But didn't he directed that thing Wendy made us watch, not made us watch,

had us watch. Oh, right, the in and of itself. Yeah, he was, he directed that, which was cool. Inside out. Yeah, he did that, no, not inside out. In and of itself. No, in and of itself, the, it's a Hulu thing. I don't know if they have it down under. Did he produce it or direct it? He directed it. I don't remember him directing it.

Yeah, he directed. He's got a big old fat directed by on it. And I remember thinking... Oh, and dirty rotten scoundrels. Yeah. Didn't we talk about that? Yeah, that's kind of where we started. Yeah, I think that's where we started.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah. That too. Hang on. Yep, have another. I think I might join you. You're just jealous. It's the morning for you guys.

I know, I know. I can drink for another two hours here. You can drink whenever you want. because it's nighttime here and if you lived in Australia you'd be drinking so you can drink whenever you want. I just need to call it a bloody merry.

Yeah, you can call it every one. Just don't say it three times. Okay. All right, Scotty. All right, number five, what is the name of Navan R. Johnson's dog in the hilarious 1979 film, The Jerk?

Is it A, poop bum, B, dip shit, C, dog, or D, shithead? It's a shithead. D, shithead. It is. Shithead's Christmas.

Shithead's Christmas. I hate April full-star. You know what I hate most of these things? Valentine's Day, all that crap. Yeah, these holidays are the worst, right? They're the worst. Oh, they hate them. Every day should be a holiday.

Yeah. Every day should be fun. Okay, Brian. Yes. All right. Number six, on the poster for the 1992 film, Wayne's World, what is the blurb? Is it, you'll laugh, you'll cry, eh, you'll party hard,

you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll rock out with Queen, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hurl, or you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll buy a Stratocaster. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hurl! Oh! Yeah! Yep, if you go to speed, hang on, I was going to do this. Brian. Okay, Scott.

All right, number seven, in the 1984 parody film Top Secret, where does Nick Rivers, played by Val Kilmer, travel to to perform at a cultural festival? Oh, my gosh. Is it A, West Germany, B, Russia, C, Sweden, or D, East Germany? for some reason I remember a lot of sheep and stuff and there was like a windmill and the closest to that is like Sweden so I think Sweden it's a long time since I've seen this Sweden okay Brian damn it's a little German he's sitting over there oh shit I think it's

East Germany frick it is yeah ah it's been so long I forgot all about that the East German Olympic and it was all just these huge blokes the female Olympic team. Right, yes. That is a funny movie. Defy gravity, yes. That's equal to me for Americans' airplane for us flying high,

but it's the same guys that made them. And I think they're just, I got into a debate the other night on Twitter about it, but this is just as funny, I think. Okay, Brian. I hold that movie in very high regard. I like it too. So do I.

I think it would be a very hard movie to podcast, because there's too many sight gags and that's why we've avoided we've avoided oh did you no i said we we wouldn't do it for film it wouldn't work for film no exactly we've avoided that turn we've avoided airplane as well because we do airplane i think we did you'd just be acting out the scenes rather than actually probably talking about the movie because they're so funny so no we could do airplane two because of the shatner element and airplane two was not as funny as airplane one and could be oh no no there's there's very few comedy sequels that are funnier than

the first one. It's true, yeah. Maybe Fletch is better than the second one. Fletch lives. Fletch is terrible. No, no, no, hold on. Fletch lives is garbage. That's a terrible sequel.

Are we all saying? All right. Fletch lives or Fletch? I'm trying to think. Fletch lives. Were there three Fletch movies? Yeah, they're two. And the second one is bad.

It's bad. I can't be alone in this. If you went through all of them, like Beverly Hills called, The lightning in a bubble. The second one, not as funny. Hangover was really funny. Hangover 2, bloody awful.

Oh, no, but Hangover 3 did kind of bring it back, I think. Do you reckon? Yeah, I think so. It's funny than 2. I'll say that. You know what? Maybe it's not as funny as one, but it's funnier than 2. An Anchorman, I think is really funny.

Anchorman, too. I didn't even get through all of it. I was just like, this is just rubbish. I've never seen an Anchorman movie. Oh, Ghostbusters 2 is a good example of garbage, poop. We did that. I'm looking at it right here on our film sack page. Look,

it's not got awful, but it's just, it's really hard when you've got like a really, you know, as I said, lightning in a bottle comedy film to then try and do a sequel. And they try and do all the same things from the first one.

The urge is to redo all the jokes from the first one. How many Naked Gun? Were there three Naked Gun movies? Naked Gun one and two weren't too bad. Yeah. That's what I was, that's what I'm remembering is that, Because they, again, Zucker Brothers, right?

They kind of have that, that humor all the way through. All right, well, let's move on. Okay, moving on. All right, Brian. All right, so you got that last one at East Germany. All right, Brian, in John Landis's musical comedy film The Blues Brothers, 1980, what R&B singer was not in the film? This is perfect for you because it's music.

Yeah. All right, A, James Brown, B, Rick James, C, Aretha Franklin, and D. John Lee Hooker. Rick James was not, to my knowledge, in the Blues Brothers. Rick James, bitch. Correct. I'm glad you got that one. I would never have got that. All right, Scott, Scott.

In number nine, in the Farrelly Brothers film, there's something about Mary. Ted, Ben Stiller, discovers 13 years after his zipper accident, Mary is a what? A, a colon surgeon in Georgia. B, an oncology surgeon in Texas. C, an oral surgeon in South Carolina, or D, an orthopedic surgeon in Florida. I don't know any of this.

You haven't seen the movie? I have, but it's just ages. But once. Yeah, it's not like twice maybe. I've seen Kingpin more often than I've seen this. Oh my God, yes. Kingpin is so far superior to there's something about Mary. I totally agree with you on that.

It's the best Fairly movie. Heapsed money. And I don't like Ben Stiller, so that doesn't help. Yeah. I'm going to go with, I don't know, I'll just guess. Florida probably, because Florida's funny. I don't know. I have no idea.

Florida. Florida, man. Yeah, you are correct. Really? You're right. Yeah, I remember Florida. I did not remember what she did for a living, but her roommate is absolutely Florida. She's a, what was she in a, attend to a raisin?

I mean, lynched over the droopy, but I met her. When I worked at 20th Century Fox at Moore Park, she actually came in for an interview, and I met her, and she is the loveliest woman you'd ever meet in your entire life. So that's the only bit I particularly like about that movie. Okay, so B, Brian, well done, Scott. Thanks. All right, number 10, in the film The 40-year-old Virgin, Andy, Steve Carell, works at Smart Tech. What singer is his boss, Paul?

Jane Lynch obsessed with. Is it A, David Bowie, B, Michael McDonald, C, Brian Adams, or D, George Michael? I don't remember this at all. I don't remember this, but out of those four, the most comedic would be Michael McDonald. So I'm going to say Michael McDonald. You are correct. Oh, man. I love Michael McDonald's.

Oh, sure. But just saying Michael McDonald is way funnier than saying George Michael. Absolutely, because that's too cool. Yeah, I was hoping you were going to say Kelly Clarkson. Yeah. Boy, that really puts an age on that film, doesn't it, a little bit? Yeah, it really does. Yeah, weird.

No, it does. And I still love Michael McDonnell. I like the TV brothers. No, no, no, I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about the Kelly Clarkson thing. Othering Kelly Clarkson, yeah. Yeah, when he's getting his body. body shaved or getting the waxing done and he yells Kelly Clarkson.

Yeah. Speaking of which, Scott, when are we going to watch from Justin to Kelly on Film Sack? What's the, that's the... Include me on that one. I haven't seen it. What's the first part of the title of that movie? It's not American Idol. It's something, something from Justin to Kelly.

I don't remember. You can look at the tadpool. Someone will know. We can't look in there, though. What's the... What's the... I'll look. What's the...

Uh, was it, it's not a documentary. It's like a thing, right? No, it's a, it was like their attempt at making a new beach blanket bingo kind of, uh, really? Yes, with Justin Guarini and Kelly Clarkson. Hang on, I've got to read this out. Quantum Feline said, uh, this is from the movie. If I hear Yamo be there, one more time, I'm going to Yamo burn this place to the crowd. That's from 40 old version, yeah.

It is, yeah. Well done. That's very funny. Okay, it doesn't matter. Yeah, move on. Okay, number 11, Scott? Yeah, 11, 11. Yep, 11.

So, so fussy. What pub do Sean, played by Simon Pegg, and Ed, played by Nick Frost, is their regular, and they end up in the 2004 comedy zombie drama, Sean of the Dead. Is it A, the Winchester, B, the Mayflower, C, the stat pole in, or D, the slaughtered lamb. It's been so long, dude. I'd love that movie, but I don't remember this.

You can't really going too easy, but, you know. I'll go guess here and just say the slaughtered lamb. I don't know. Slaughtered lamb was of American we're from London. So, Brian. Was it the Winchester? It was. Because there was a Winchester above the door

that they used on the zombies, right? Isn't that how I remember that? I almost said that too. And he grabs the Winchester off the wall to... And it turns out it doesn't work. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Don't stop me now. Yeah.

Oh, the best scene. Yeah. Yeah, awesome film. All right, Brian, killing this, mate. Okay, number 12, in Melbrook's 1974, classic comedy blazing saddles, what Motley crew are not lining up to join Hedley Lamar's recruits or his army of thugs.

That's Hedley. Okay. A, a motorcycle gangsters. B, the Clu Klutz Klan. C, Nazis or D, skinheads. Oh, geez. Because I can visualize all four of them. I don't think there were skinheads.

You are correct. Damn it. Got it. Damn it. I knew that one. I'm getting Brian. I know all the ones Brian's going to say. Someone needs to do a vocal video of just Scott from quiz time.

Just saying, damn it. Just 15 minutes of, damn it! You should play basketball with me. You should hear me. If I take any game I'm playing, I'm when I used to play a lot of basketball.

If I take a shot and it misses, it just rings out of the rim. I go, damn it, Scott! Like that, I yell at myself. He's tall enough. ESPN behind the mic with Scott Johnson.

where they, you know, mic, or mic'd up, whatever they call it, where they have a mic and one of the players' helmets. It's basically how I play video games that are scary. It's the same thing. I just, like, have to vocalize everything. I don't know why. It's annoying. I can't even watch Colonel play scary games.

Like, I sit that chair behind there. I sit there. That's my edit chair. And he sits here and does the editing because he's much better at editing than me. And I sit there just bossing him around. And if he's playing like a scary game, I'm just like, dude, go and hide in a cupboard and stay there. And he's like, that's not the idea of the game.

And I'm like, yeah, but that's what I would do. Just go to a cupboard and stay there. Call 911, for God's sake. This is horrific. Doesn't pay off. So, yeah, I'm not a horror game player. Okay, Scott. Yeah.

Your turn now. Not doing it very well, are you? Uh-uh. It's terrible today. No. Because you gave me the question Scott wanted because I razzed you earlier, apparently. No, actually, no, I already had your initials next to the question. Yeah.

Okay. All right. So, number 13, in Rob Reiner's directorial debut with 1984's documentary, this is spinal top. Spinal tap. This is the only one that stuffed kernel up, by the way. Okay. How did the band's first drummer die? A, he choked on someone else's vomit.

Okay. B, exploded on stage. C, was crushed by Stonehenge, or D, a bizarre gardening accident. Gosh, my memory's so fuzzy on this. The funniest one is the first one. So I think they'd go for that. He choked on someone else's vomit. Because at the time, it was like all the rage to have a lead singer of a band die from choking on his own.

Choking on his own vomit, yeah. So I'm going to say that. Brian? Damn it! It's funny because, with the exception of Stonehenge, all three were ways to the drummer's died. And I think the bizarre gardening accident

was the first one. That is correct. Well done. The other one exploded on stage and left a little globule on his... The corner of his mouth. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, apart from Crush by Stonehenge, all of them were real ways that their drummers died. And it was just putting them in order and that's what... In the right order. And I think I'm glad Scott did take that one off the table because I might have gone with that one.

One of them was Ed Begley Jr. And I think it was the bizarre guardian. Ed Bagley Jr. was in the black and white clip playing the drums and he was the one that, you know. The gardening accident. Yeah. And most of that's ad libbed that movie. So it's amazing.

It's amazingly hilarious. I can't believe when it's up against something like, you know, the breakfast club and people go to the breakfast club a better comedy. And it's like, is there something wrong with your brain? Well, if you call it a better comedy, I wouldn't say that. I'd say breakfast club. No. It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a better movie.

I don't even know if I call it a better movie. It's just such a different movie. No, it's not. It's a different movie. I like the Breakfast Club a lot, but it's for a flat out comedy, spinal tap kills it. For sure. If that's not, if that's not on the list I sent you, it needs to be.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay, Scott, 14. Yeah, I'm ready. All right. Now, we've all been to Vegas. What Vegas Hotel do the guys from the hangover check into? Is it A, the MGM Grand, B, Cesar's Palace, C, the Bellagio, or D, the Luxor Hotel and Casino?

What movies is Scott never seen? Is it A, the Hangover, 2, or C, the Hangover 3? Or, D, all of the above. I've never seen a Hangover movie, not one. So I'm going to say... The rest of them, just watch the first one. The first one is hysterical. I'm just going to say MGM Grand, because that's her.

Brian always goes. Okay, Brian? Shit! Did Caesar live here? Yeah, exactly. Yes. See, I don't know any lines. Was this actually Caesar's palace?

I don't. I haven't seen it. No. No. I haven't seen it. All right. Brian. Yeah.

Okay. So, I did a tie breaker, but to be honest, did you? I'm not going to need it today, are we? Not going to need it. No. But let's do it anyway. Give it to us anyway. Give it.

Let's do it anyway. Anyway, okay, tie breaker, even though Brian's won this by Miles. All right, 15, tie breaker first in, just answer the question. Yeah. All right, in Monty Python's the meaning of life, what big cat does not live in Africa? Cheetah? Wait. Why is none of this clicking today for me?

Yeah, this must have been on one of the discussion cards. I just podcasted the meaning of life with Colonel Kiket. I love that movie. Again, it's a movie I love. Just guess a big cat. There's a famous line in it. There's a famous line in it. You've got Michael Palin and Eric Idol,

and they come out from the brushes, and it's during the Zulu War, and the other Eric Idol characters had his leg removed. Oh, yeah. And they come and question him, and what are they dressed as? I don't remember. Are they dressed as tigers, aren't they? Is it tigers?

Yes. It is tigers. Okay, Brian's right. Brian wins. Just bring it home. Bring it home. There we go. Big fat loss for me.

You brought home, Brian. You've won. Yeah, you're the winner winner. Winner, winner. Good job, Brian. You're the winner winner. Yeah, good job. So listen, if you could not, you've listened to this today and you went, man, I sure

could go for more Gidgett in my life. Then there's, you do this show. You keep mentioning. And you should tell people about it so they know where to find it. So where to find it. So where can. they find your show. Okay.

I'll get it through quickly, even though you've got no Wendy today. Hi, Wendy, by the way. I met you in Vegas. You're a sweetheart. Okay. All right. So we just released tonight

And also go and check out the Meaning of Life podcast with Colonel Kickett as well. That was super fun. So do you want me to counsel people now? No. No, it turns out I don't. But I, do we are going to miss you horribly 30 days everybody 30 days till the next time Hurricane Gidgett comes through this part of the world Thanks boys you did well before I want Bye

Okay well we did it we did it again that was terrible I did terrible I was awful yeah I would have thought Every question she gave me I didn't know and almost every question you got I would have Right it helps when she doesn't get when she gives you questions on movies you haven't seen you need you do need to fix that though I mean, I think the hangover is worth saying. Should I see the first one? Bradley Cooper is funny. Zach Gallifanakis is funny at Helms.

I mean, it's just a great. Skip the sequels or what? What do I do there? Do I just not skip two, but again, I thought three was a lot funnier than two. And they go back to Vegas. Basically, they go to Bangkok for the second one. And it just was more, I don't know. It wasn't as funny as the first one.

Yeah. I heard that a lot when it was out. And I remember thinking, oh, this sounds like the oceans movies. Everyone sees, he says 11 and 13, but 12 is bad, so one of those things. All right. Start with one and see what you think. We'll see what I think. That's going to do it for the show.

We didn't get a chance to mention it, but you've got Coverville today. Well, you want to tell people what that's about? What's going on? Yeah, so Ronnie Lane would have turned 75 today. Ronnie Lane was founder of the band, The Small Faces, and then Steve Marriott left the band, and then they renamed themselves to the faces because he was really short. true story and uh wow uh but he would have been 75 he passed away actually here in denver uh several years ago or in colorado i just tell you right um but his music lives on the faces the
