Tom's tech time. Recommendals and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. Hi, what a cute boy. Interested in my body, aren't you? Not interested. Oh, you're into that. I like girls, but now it's about justice. The absolute being.

She is female, 23 years old, bad. The morning stream, the morning stream, the morning stream, the morning stream, the morning stream. TMS. It's the morning stream for Wednesday, April 7th, 2021. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Ibit. Hi, Brian. Good morning. Way easier to say than sixth. Sixth. I agree. Seventh. Seventh? Way easier. Yeah. Eighth is weird. Eighth. Yeah. Ninth. All the thoths are kind of lame. I like the n's like second. Second. It's the third. All right. First. Yeah. Way, way, way. Way better. Yeah, I prefer it.

We don't like spitting. Hey, welcome to the show, everybody. We're glad to be here. It's Wednesday, and we got stuff to do. And holy poop, did I have a day yesterday? Very busy. Lots going on, trying to get this Kickstarter worked out, and pay attention to what's happening and get on it if it breaks through levels too quickly, which it did.

And now we're working on unlocking four, and now it means, oh, shit, I got to come up with what five is. You're like Lucy and Ethel trying to get stretch goals. out onto the conveyor belt. A little bit, actually. And I'm going to say Dave is Ethel. Okay. I'm just going to put that out there. Okay, put that out there.

He's the less attractive neighbor lady, is what I'm getting there. Anyway, that's terrible. Rest her soul. Anyway, so that's all going, and it's great, and everything's good. But as a result, I've been very busy. But I did notice something I wanted to bring to the show that seemed like show material, because why not? Sometimes weird things happen to me, and it almost always happens when I'm outside. and today was no different.

Today I took the dog out and in my front yard, laying in the yard was a mangled, partially chewed up, gnarly looking pop toy. A funco pop. And I think it was Luke Skywalker. Now you might say, Scott, where is this funco pop? Why aren't you showing us this mangled awful thing? I'm not picking that up, dude. Yeah. I mean, I'm not going to keep in the house.

You'll pick up a worm bottle of pee, but you won't pick up a. chewed Funko Pop? Well, did I pick up the pee? I don't remember now. You did? Because you were going to throw... That's how you knew it was warm. Oh, right. That's how I knew the temperature. All right. I mean, basically it's this.

Like, I don't... For some reason, it really put me off to think about where that pop toy had been there, what had been through, because it was so mingled. And it was Luke, like, original episode 4, Luke, with, like, the little skirt. Oh, gotcha. The white robes. kind of thing yeah i've got a real one of him somewhere in here that's not all mingled up so i'm sure

just some dog got a hold of it or a kid left it there or i don't know what but it weirded me out so i used one of the dog poo bags and threw it away uh i'm wasn't gonna keep it keeping it and holding it up here on the show definitely not keep it yeah but uh foul so i don't know where that thing came from but uh anyway i just why you know should i take it as a sign do you ever found a an omen like that in your yard and thought oh uh no just on recycling day, sometimes I'll find neighbors mail in my yard if they don't close

their bin or if it's like a particularly windy day. I'll find like an envelope or something. But no. Fortunately, no, well, I take that back. The kids love to put stuff on top of our mailbox, right? So like they'll be playing, they'll be running around, they run up and down the street, and

they like riding their bikes up and down our driveway sometimes, which is fine. But they'll chase each other and then they'll come to my mailbox and be like, oh, I'm going to run after you without carrying this big Nerf gun. So we'll put the Nerf gun on top of our mailboxes. We have a dual mailbox for me and Crazy Neighbor. Oh, so it's got like a, it's a good foundation for putting something on there, I see.

It's perfect foundation, except I replaced my government issued mailbox, my HOA issued mailbox with a much bigger mailbox because so often I have stuff going out, right? Coverville Swag, TMS Swag prizes for this, for guest connection, et cetera. And so I just said, you know what? I'm tired of anything bigger than an envelope having to take it to the post office. So I just said, all right, what's the biggest mailbox that I can do? And then I replaced it. So if they're not careful, it slides right off the pair of mailboxes.

Oh, yeah. But anyway, they'll put toys up there. But those kinds of things, I know exactly where they came from, who they belong to, and I just leave them. It's not like a chewed-up pop dog toy. So what's the upper limit on allowable mailbox sizes? Like, can you have any size, or is there a limit? I don't know if there is an upper limit. I know that when you go to Home Depot and you're looking at mailboxes, there's the largest size.

they sell is about like a you know um about this tall this wide it's good for um well you know the box that you got that had the A&TP Tumblr in it

and yeah if you stack two of those did you ever find the rest of the Mandalorians gun by the way uh oh yeah I did uh so I have the two pieces I haven't done the glue yet because I'm kind of nervous about what glue to use and I just haven't had time but I have

Basically, it broke into two chunks. There's the, this part of the gun, kind of the meat of it where it connects to his hand, and then the tiny tip of the gun is there. All right, that's glueable. That's easily glueable. Just model glue. Yeah, yeah. So he's over here going, when are you going to do it, he says?

And I say, I'm suing, you little bastard. So the box that I sent you those things in, I can stack too high of those and fit them in the mailbox. Oh, that's pretty big. It's pretty big. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not small. So, wait, did Dave automatically get an upgrade with this? Or just you?

Nope, just me. His little tiny teeny mailbox is sitting right next to mine. I'm looking at my outdoor camera, which I'm still trying to figure out. It's an IP camera, so I'm trying to figure out a good way to make it so I can switch. Like go cat cam, outdoor cam, but I can't do it. Well, are you looking at that outdoor cam on the same? No, on a whole different computer because the, um... Some PC only thing or whatever.

95% what I use my PC for is an outside window in the basement here. It's like a, instead of looking at a metal grate, I can look over here and basically it looks like I'm looking outside and I'm seeing the neighbors. And one of our neighbors is getting, what do they call that? Aerated, lawn aeration. Oh, yeah, they make the little turds. Little turds, uh-huh. Yeah, dirt turds, I call them.

It's accurate. Well, that's fantastic. So let me ask you one other question. If you're out just walking or you're on your bike or whatever and you see some trash, let's say it's just a Pepsi can or a freaking, you know, some idiots left something out there. Warm, warm bottle of pee. What is your natural inclination? Mine is to throw it away because I can't stand litter. I hate it.

If I'm on the bike, nothing. All right. I'm not going to stop and pick up every piece of trash. Yeah, you're moving. You've got to go. I'm moving. Yeah. But if I'm walking and it's something that just doesn't look like it's moist.

Or sticky. Especially if I'm walking the dog and I've got the poo bags, I'll pick something up. And I know where around here all the nooks and cranny trash cans are. Like, oh, if we go down this route, there's a, you know, one of those metal bars with a trash basket on the side. And I can get rid of that and, like, 100 feet and I'd be done with that. I used to have that. But then the school, or sorry, there's some of these stations, you know, little trash stations. and then they have doggy bag stations and all that.

Some of the locations are near this elementary school that I live right by. And they took out the three stations that are like up against the borders around that school because kids, I guess, sixth grade little shitheads were taking bags and like blowing them up and popping them really loud in class and like just being tur. Oh, and taking like full turd bags out and just leaving them all over the lawn there. Really? Oh, that's lame. Yeah, kids are lame. So kids are great and kids are lame at the same time somehow.

But anyway, I was, so they took all those out. So now I have less radar on where's my next stop. In case I run out of bags, it's like, oh, great, Rainer's on our third dumper here. Right, and you're right. And thanks to those kids, you got no place to put that poop. Thanks, kids. You're the generation that will save us, though. So get in here and get her done.

Do we really, son of the Jeff, we really have a listener who's in sixth grade, listening to the show right now in chat, Son of the Jeff says, Hey, I'm in sixth grade. Are you really in sixth grade? Wait, where are your parents right now? And how are you doing this? I remember sixth grade.

I couldn't, well, you know, there was no podcasting when I was in sixth grade. No. Well, hey, good. This is a show I would have listened to when I was in sixth grade because it sounds, the hosts laugh at the same things I do.

Oh, the guy that brought me ice cream. The dad is the dude what brought me ice cream at the, up in Columbus. Okay, so why aren't you in school? Get in there. Get her done. Get your test turned in.

Pop quiz hot shot, all that. You got to get school done. And I'll try not to swear as much. Zoom time. Zoom class time. No, that's great. All right. Well, you sound like a cool kid

and you're above your ears, obviously, because you're here listening to us banter like idiots. So it's good to have you. And don't blow up bags and ruin the The dog poo stations is what I'm telling you. Okay, kid? That's right. Exactly.

Yes. All right. Moving on. I got a quick email I want to get through today. Sure. This is from Michael Miller in Colorado in your home state. Oh, cool. He says, Scooby and Brian.

I don't know why you're just Brian. I'm just Brian apparently. That's a bummer. I can't come up. Fred, Daphne, Shay, you know, I can't come up with a B. I give up. Scooby and Brian. Scrappy, maybe.

Anyway. I was listening to Tuesday's show in the discussion of how Scott pronounces certain words. Let's pull Brian into this discussion, he says. Please do. Bring me in. I can take it. He says, being from the same part of the country, that sounds like the same exact state. I've always found it interesting how Brian pronounces orange and horror. He normally pronounces them as orange and hara.

Horror or horror. Horror. How do you say horror movie? I say horror. Oh, you do say horror. I do say horror, yeah. Because I don't want somebody to think I'm inadvertently saying whore. Close your instead of, Jeff.

Well, that's what Dunaway says. He does. Horror, horror, or something like that. I can't remember how he does it. But you do Hara. All right, what do you do for the orange and say, hey, Brian, you want an orange? He's absolutely right. I absolutely say orange.

Orange instead of orange. Oh, interesting. Okay. Says, well, I've heard these pronunciations from some people before. Because it comes from the knock-knock joke. Orange, you glad I didn't say banana? Oh, so you just live that, you live that your best life when you keep using that. I mean my best life with that.

It says, while I've heard these pronunciations from others before, it's not a product of Colorado accent. I thought I would throw this out there, so it doesn't seem like we were all piling on Scott. Love yesterday's show, though. And we'll let you know about tomorrow's Michael Miller in Colorado. Okay, thanks, Michael. So we all, I mean, we were just talking about this. I was talking to Kim about this. Like, all her Southernisms, they didn't translate.

She doesn't do them anymore. you have to get her mad to even hear her accent and so no one ever wants to make Kim mad so we rarely hear her accent but when you do it's kind of funny you'll get a reckon and some other southern sort of slang in there once in a while but long gone is her old hey everybody I'm Kim

I'm Cam Simon from she doesn't do that anymore I can't even imagine it I know it's weird like when she gets angry or yep only when she's mad do I hear it yeah okay only time and then other stuff like she used to say old instead of oil oh wow she used to say um oh what was the other one oh monaz instead of mayonnaise or mayonnaise oh wow that's a that's a dramatic one monaz you want monaz on that kind of thing whoa that's like that's not even just like a southernization like a drawl added to it that is like a whole new word monaz yeah and i asked her about it i said why and i I think, yeah, that's what I would have thought.

But I said, why do you think you lost all that? And her answer to me was interesting. She said, because I thought it would be just like, oh, it was just because I'm here and I'm not around it or whatever. But it's not that. She says, I made a concerted effort to lose it all. Because I thought, I didn't want people to think I sounded like I didn't know what I was talking about all the time just because of my accent.

It's judgey. Yeah. And I, you know, I don't know if that was more of a thing of her time or whatever, but. Clearly, she listens to the show. And she knows that any time we have to do like a yokel, we talk about some news story about somebody who's always, well, yeah, I thought it would be real funny to put them firecrackers in that gas tank, but no. It turns out an N-A-B, or M-80 fits real nice and snug in my man's anus.

Like, I can't help but do it. I can't help but do it in the voice. Yeah, yeah. People want to know how we pronounce coupon, C-O-U-P-O-N. I say coupon, coupon, coupon. Yeah, coupon's the right thing. And what are you supposed to say coupon? No, coupon's correct.

It's not a coupon. Coupon, yeah, I always said coupon. Coupon. Bring a coupon. Gray coupon. You don't say like the, yeah, exactly. The mustard isn't the gray poupon. If anyone's glad to me to make a poupon.

If anyone says gray pupon, freaking, you can punch him. You have my. Pardon me. Do you have any gray poupon? What's another word? Ask your parents. Yeah. But I, so I guess what we're all saying is, yeah.

we all have weird things we say it's fine it's fine and a lot of it like if you didn't get this stuff from Colorado or you know yeah I don't know I got it maybe it's like in my case my stuff's mostly my dad said it that way and it's not a Utah thing to say wait or both but it was

his way and I picked it up so maybe you picked it up from your dad I don't know I think I did I definitely picked up coupon from my dad because I think when I was a little kid I probably said coupon maybe get that from you know grandparents or something

And he's like, Brian, this one I remember. I mean, I don't remember exactly what he said, but I do remember him saying, it's pronounced coupon. Oh, wow. This is a very learned moment there. Very learned a moment. That I absolutely do remember. Well, if it was me, I would, I'd be a scrappy, you know, young entrepreneur. And if I was a big believer in QAnon, I would make a new brand of, of, it's pronounced QAnon, Scott, Coonon.

If I was a QAnon person, I would. start my own brand of lady sanitary napkins and call them coupons or no coupons right coupons coupons right because now they're tampons but with the cue but they're there they're tampons made by the mysterious figure queue at the head of the Q&on movement oh man I went three miles for that joke I'm going to rain it in anyway that only came up because I because the TMS mashups Jamie he kind kept bugging me, but he kept poking me about watching that, uh, that Q documentary that's on HBO. Oh yeah, yeah. Like two episodes in, that's a hell of a thing so far. It's really good, like really well made. It's not, um, salacious or, or, or really, any of that. It's very like

journalistic, like this guy's just trying to get to the bottom of it. Where did it come from? Why is it happening? Who did it? Who started it? Who is probably this, this person? Um, apparently by the end of this thing. I'm going to be blown away. I guess there's a massive thing at the end where you're like, what the frick? Anyway, it's super interesting. I'm sure Lauren Bobert will make an appearance if she hasn't already. Not yet, but Marjorie Taylor Green. Oh, yes. Do you see that workout video with her by chance? Did you see that? That is a phrase I never thought I'd ever hear is workout video with Marjorie Taylor Green. You got to see this video.

Yeah, it's right here. Okay. I saw this the other day and I don't know. I still don't know what she's doing. How many calories can you burn doing this? Oh, only if only. For those just listening, I was doing the Hitler Heil salute. Yes, very well done.

All right. So I'm going to show you this. This is her entire, this is her entire workout. She does. She's a, she's a, I don't want to blow your. mind here but she's one of those crossfit folks she's really into it really yeah okay um i'll put this in the chat room so they can see it and you can look at it um geez it's a little hard to describe um there's no shame here i'm just trying to understand what's happening so right now she's just

lifting weights this makes sense to me she's actually pretty freaking tough look at yeah i i'll say this i could not lift well it's 25s each well maybe no this part so it's the last part I love that it's sped up though I don't know why they sped it up The normal version's fine too that I saw Yeah I don't know what happened The sped up is the best part It's like she's like a cat that didn't quite jump to the next roof

And is like trying to pull itself up Yeah it's like a oh this one's longer okay let's see Let's skip ahead some Yeah this is that normal crossfitters Is that what you do? Because that seems weird. Like that's going to hurt something. Yeah.

Oh, man. All right. Well, anyway, yeah, she's in it. In fact, I had to pause it when she came on. You ever do that with a thing that's hard to watch? You're just like, okay, I can't look. I can't look at her room. I can't take it right.

I need something. I need a break. I need to go eat an orange and I'll come back and watch them. I'll eat an orange. I'm going to go hydrate with a quick orange. Because it takes a while. You got to peel. And it gives you time to take that break.

All right. Now, this is exciting because Brian went to trivia last night and he has a little mini game for us right now. So what is this? I did. All right. So our final question, we did poorly last night. We just, there were stupid mistakes we made, left good answers on the table and screwed things up. The last question was the all or nothing. It's like the wager.

You can wager up to 15 points. Yeah. And we'll do this quickly because I know Brian Dunaway is waiting. You're fine. But the last question was, put these in order from highest population to lowest population. Okay. Highest to lowest. And you've got Berlin, the Metropolitan Statistical Area of Berlin, the MSA of Berlin, Germany, Iowa, the entire state of Iowa.

the entire area of the country known as New England of the United States and the entire country of Jordan. Oh, my gosh. And put those four in order from highest population to lowest population. And written here, this is not an order now. This is out of order right now, right? Correct. This is out of order right now.

Okay. I'm going to try to do this. Yeah. That's why I put it in there. I'm going to go. New England, Iowa, Berlin, Jordan. We did New England, Berlin, Iowa, Jordan. Okay, so just swap on a couple of others.

That was our answer. We were incorrect. As am I, I assume I'm wrong. New England is first. 14 million in New England. Okay. Jordan, which is the thing that surprised us, 10 million people as of 2019.

10 million in the country of Jordan. All right. Or I mean... They've had an extra couple thousand years to build up that population. Yeah, plus they get that cool Indiana Jones thing in the rocks there. That thing's pretty cool. Anyway, keep going. That's right.

Then you've got Berlin and Iowa. And surprisingly, the difference between Berlin and Iowa is just a, you know, 100,000 or so people. Wow. Wow. Really? 3 million, 3.6 million, and Iowa is 3.1 million. What is the population of all Germany? I'm curious here.

I want to see if the Germans won World War II, how much of a threat were they really? You know what I mean? Sure, sure. Population in Germany is 83 million. Man, we have 300 million of, I don't know what we had in the 40s, but a little. tiny Germany, wrecking everything. You hate holes, although I really like my Pissot, so I'm not going to complain.

So that totally blew our minds that Jordan had that high a population. We had everything else kind of sussed out, but we put Jordan and basically put in the wrong place. Well, how'd you do overall? Did you... We didn't finish in the money. We finished

fourth or fifth. And it was just, it was me, Tina, my uncle George, and Aunt Barb. And this is great. This place advertises Cap City Tavern here in Denver. And they actually advertise it as socially distance trivia. So you don't even get up from your table.

You have one phone out on the table and you keep it out on the table, always, you know, facing up. And it's got the answer thing in it. So you go to a web page that the host gives you the address for. You entering your answers. And then you just keep your phone sitting out open-faced on the table the whole rest of the time. So they know you're not Googling answers while you're playing. Oh, right. And how strict are they on that?

Do they walk around and double check everybody all the time? They let the other teams kind of police. Like if you're looking over at a table, and we were sitting next to a table that had nine people sitting at it, our four against their nine. We did beat them. Their team name was Boner Zone. And, um, uh, no relation to the win status. They just had, they had a horrible name. A horrible name.

But every once in a while we'd look over and we'd see like three or four people sitting at that table with their phones out. But they were all millennials and, you know, it looked like they just couldn't help themselves like their thumbs were getting restless. They were sweating when they didn't get their phones out. But we don't think they were cheating because they did so badly. If they were cheating, they suck at that too. They were just distracted. That's what gave them the loss. Maybe that's it.

Maybe that's it. Well, that sounds awesome, and I'm sad I didn't get that right. I wouldn't have won either. I would have been a poor addition to your team. But speaking of non-poor additions to our lives, I should have had all this up before. I didn't. I don't. It's all right.

If you're trying to call right now, it's not actually getting through, but it will shortly. Let's see, Brian Dunaway, there he is. Okay, we're going to add him to the call. We're going to play some fun games with him, give away some prizes, and a little game we call Babbel Royale. Yes, that's right. You heard me right. Babel Royale, starring the one, the only Brian Dunaway, joining us right now from South Carolina. Hello.

Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Oh, hi. How are you got to do it today? Oh, we're great. Listen to you. You sound full of joy and vinegar. Bright-eyed and bushy tail. Today is somewhat my podcast streamer weekend, as I like to call it.

It is usually the time that I get to recharge. This is really the only thing I do today, podcast or stream-related. Otherwise, I am doing things, right? Yeah. This is a short, this is a little short snack. You are making things happen. You are making content. That's right.

He's a tastemaker. I'm not watching, I'm not watching any movies tonight for film sec. I'm not playing any video games. I'm just, it's the weekend. Yeah. It's the streamer weekend. It's the weekend with his cool cheekbones. All right.

Hey, it's good to have you here. We're going to get it on with a listener. Not really. We're going to have a listener on who's going to. We've never been accused of that. And this person is going to participate in today's contest. Let's find out who's been holding so long. Hi, who's this?

Hi, it's Leslie Logan's mom. Hello, Leslie Logan's mom. Hey, you know what's weird? You have like a full kid now. That's weird. Yeah, yeah. Your son, Logan, when I met Logan, was a little tiny baby that was like, I don't know how old, six months old or something not even that whatever it was seven yeah yeah look at him now what he's like

trying out for the 76ers or something he's all tall and stuff it's really really weird anyway fixing routers and uh yeah baking sourdough bread i mean he's doing all that doing all that stuff he just grew up so fast i feel like we we got to feel old during all of that so congratulations hey uh leslie it's good to have here he's creating his own levels in geometry dash oh that's fantastic oh that's so cool thing to watch. That game's fun. That game's great. I like Geometry Dash a lot. Shoot the shapes. Yeah, shoot the

shape. Oh, we shoot the shape. Oh, my gosh. I haven't heard that in a while. Well, all right. It's good to have you here. We're going to play. Brian has to explain the rules and your fantastic prize package. Brian, what do we have today? Correct. Yes, it's time to play the tadpooly feud.

I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics. 500 of them have responded, and Scott and Brian will have to predict the answers that They gave us. It's Scott Brighton's job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Leslie, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. If your team wins, you get a prize package that includes a mystery, Fury Road figurine, frog pants print pack, and a deck of playing cards that Scott drew all over with Sharpie. No, it's got his art on it. That's what it is. I've got a deck right here somewhere.

Yeah, you probably got a good deck. I pronounced apparently in my Rockrunner's video, Dick. Apparently I said that's what people tell me. People said I said the word dick. Get a little beef, are you? Get a little beef there. Not a lot of beef. Just people like, oh, I'm like, I won dick or get two dicks for a little

bit more. That's kind of it. Oh, boy. Anyway, yeah, they're, I'm really happy to be sending some physical stuff out to you today if you win, Leslie. So this would be great. Well, to win, by the way. Yeah, go By the way, I clicked on the link, and I think I may have messed something up because it won't let me sign in. It says I'm already there. It shows you're in as Reesey, Recy PCs.

Recy PCs, but I'm not in there. It says to sign in, and then when I hit play, it says I'm already in there. What does that mean? Oh, that's weird. I don't know. I don't know. Should I try and reload it? Can you reload it?

Well, let's try reload it. Let's see what happens. I'm in, but that doesn't mean anything. I'm sorry. I messed up the game board. I don't think you get it. Oh, yeah, I close it and reopen it says, it says,

oh, let me close my browser completely. Oh, yeah, maybe it's cashed. Maybe that's a problem. Maybe it's the fact you pronounce Recy PCs wrong. I said Recy pieces is fine. If you read it like I spelled it in that room, I said it right.

Uh-huh. Yeah, well, it's true. Now, if you're looking for the classic pronunciation of the candy, that's different. But once again, I always fall to my argument of this. This is my argument with language. Do you know what I'm talking about? Then shut up. It doesn't matter if it's viz or vase.

It doesn't matter if it's aunt or aunt. If we are communicating, you know, efficiently, everything else is just BS. You're kind of right. You're kind of right. It's easy to nitpick, but at the end of the day, if I got my communication across, then the language works. Hold on. We might be getting

some tech support. Oh, Brian, you can press reset players and they'll need to log in again. Are you, let me see how you're doing, Brian,

if I need to do that. I try closed my browser. It did not work. It still says the same thing. I'm refreshing. Reset players. Boom. You're both booted out.

Try logging back in. Alcabob, you were awesome. Like, you're the best tech support. I get tech support both in Discord and in,

in IRC chat. So this is so great. I'm in now. Oh, there's the buzzer. Scott, okay, you guys are both in. All right, your category is, I'm sorry, let me do this the right way.

We surveyed 500 members of the Tadpool and asked them their answer to this. Hands-on buzzers, name the first Weird Al-Yankovic parody song that comes to mind. Crap. Do you get in first? I'm going to go with white and nerdy.

Show me white and nerdy. number four answer three answers will beat it scott can you can you Brian got so excited I lost the the term the wording of it was it the first one I think of weird Al Yankovic parody song that comes to mind comes to mind okay let's do uh oh geez none come to mind bing why am I struggling here

oh eat it eat it Oh, that's a great one. Show me, eat it. Just eat it, eat it. Number one answer on the floor. Oh, wow. Our, apparently a tadpool is a little older. That is a Michael Jackson parody of Beat It from the 80s.

So, yeah, if they know that song, then they're all of a certain age. Yeah. And if you've never heard of Michael Jackson, don't check him out now. There's some problems. Anyway, go ahead. Well, one very large problem with Michael. Jackson. Don't check him out now. All right, Scott, you do have control, and that

means that Leslie is going to be your partner for this one. Sweet. So, Scott, you get to start. You get to continue guessing until... All right, Leslie, anything jump to your mind, and you're like, oh, man, if we don't say that, we're losing? Well, there's another one

that shows my age, and that would be Amish Paradise. Oh, Amish Paradise is good. That's actually a middle range of his. That's like what the early 2000s of late 90s right late 90s something like that yeah let's do that all right show me Amish paradise good answer number two answer on the board well done good answer number two it's like we are skewing older in the tadpool I'll keep that I'll keep that in mind for

later yes episodes we always skew older in here all right let's let's keep going Oh, I had one and then it left again. It's one of his early, using the, what do you call it? What's that instrument? Recording. Oh, yeah, the accordion, yeah. It's an old accordion thing. Oh, no, no, let me, you know what, let's stay with Michael Jackson.

I just remembered that he did that other one. Oh, he's in a fat suit. Yes. Leslie, what is it? Fat? Fat? Is it just fat? Oh, no, no. Who's bad?

I'm fat. Or it's, I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it, or whatever. I'm fat. I'm bad, I'm bad. That was the best. So tell me your answer. I'm fat or who's fat? I'm fat.

It's just called fat. Okay, it's just fat. All right, we'll go. Because Michael Jackson's song was just called bad. Okay. Oh my gosh. Show me fat. You people are so old.

The top three answers are all. Yeah, but there's some of his best. The best stuff rises to the top, man. Yeah. All right. All right. I'm now... Six answers still on the board.

Scott still has control. Okay. How about like a verd or sturgeon? Like a sturgeon? That's another good one. Like a sturgeon. Wasn't that it? What, like, what's your answer?

Leslie, what is it? Am I doing it wrong? Oh, surgeon, surgeon. No, I wanted it be like a fish. Like a surgeon, like a surgeon. Show me like a surgeon. Number eight on the board. Okay, so down there, away.

All the time, like a sturgeon. All right. He did. stuff around the grunge period shite Leslie anything popping into your head Smells like Nirvana Oh

That's the song? That's the good one That's a good one I'll go with Leslie she's been not wrong so far So let's go smells like Nirvana Is that it? Is that one? Show me smells like Nirvana Oh frankly

Is there even any chance for me to win at all right now anyway. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. By the way, it smells like Nirvana number 15 on the list. It was up there, but just not high enough to make the top 10. Okay. I mean, look, if you get the number 10 answer, Brian, then you

tie, and there's still five answers on the board. Right. But they've already taken all the best ones. Oh, I disagree, but please continue. Oh, I just thought of another one. The top of four answers

on the board are all right done. I mean, clearly. Yeah, but you can still win. Remember the higher on the board, the more points you get. So you get 10 points if you get the 10th answer, nine points if you get the ninth answer. Yeah, you get more points the higher the number goes.

Correct. So you can. Not only can you win, you could blow me out. True. True. Yeah. Not if I don't have any answers. And then Leslie's not here to help me.

Yeah, that's true. then I will be in trouble because I only remember one more and I can't imagine people remember it but he he I lost on Perry on Jeopardy that's a lost on Jeopardy yeah covering the are parroting the Greg Kin Band show me I lost on Jeopardy Oh, let's see, that was 21st in the list. By the way, there are 48 songs that people mentioned. Oh, wow. Yeah, but only the top 10 on this.

Okay, so I casually... Well, you just lost. It doesn't matter. Yeah, it doesn't matter what you said. Well, I mean, no, I know, I know that. I'm just saying, I'm explaining that I only casually watch weird out. I was going to lose this anyway. Oh, I didn't know.

That I would have picked you as a weird owl freak for some reason. I don't know why. No, you mentioned everything that's on the board right now is pretty much all the songs plus the Jeopardy song. That's the only ones I really. I'll bet when you see some of these other ones, you're like, oh, yes, I forgot. I'll bet you're wrong. All right. I got one.

I got one for a proposal here. I think that he's gump. He's gump. he's gump oh see i don't remember that one i don't remember that at all but it's obviously a take on lump by president of the united states yeah it's got it's on it's and it's for forest gum i didn't even know he did that one dump sat alone on a bench in the park something something with the guy in the fart i don't know it goes uh hey leslie you okay with that one uh sure with lack of other options Oh, she sounds so confident.

Ringing endorsement. All right. Show me Gump. Oh, shite. Yeah, that's number 13 in the list. It was up there, but just not. Grape. It is back to me again.

It is back to you. Yeah. Crap. Yeah. Crap is not a song. Can I say it anyway a bone or not? Throw him a bone? I mean, my, no.

Well, I mean, if you do, you, if you do, you, You may eliminate your chance to get those sweet prizes. That's true. I know because I don't want to actually do something, you know, get lucky or something. No, no, no. Nobody's won yet. We got like, yeah, it could go either way if Brian knows more. Right.

But that problem is Brian doesn't know anymore. But I might be able to take an educated guess. I'm trying to think of some big songs. There you go. That's a good idea. Trying to think of any of that were controversial, like, almost paradise, where, you know, Kulio did not care for Weird Al and think surely he's done

a Madonna song. Surely There is a weird owl Madonna song. Kulio can decide it. Like a surgeon? Oh yeah, that's true. That's true. Culeo can sit on his butt and be How about Cindy Lopper? Did he do a Cindy Lopper one? Did we do it? Do we

on the board? Did we do the? I don't know. You're asking. Yes, they're, yeah. Mom, I'm trying to think of like, what would he have what would he have done? Um, I can't think of anything. How about, uh,

uh, how about light bulb in the wind? I don't have anything. Show me light bulb. The cover. I see what you did there. Yeah. Show me light bulb in the wind.

Uh, he did do a Cindy Laufer cover, right? He did, um, but I can't think of which one he would have done and what would have, like, girls want to have fun. I mean, was it, yeah, it was that song, but I don't remember the name of it. It's like, I can't, Girls just want to have fun. Oh, that would have been smart.

I don't know. Leslie, any hot months coming to your head? I'm still surprised you guys haven't said Yoda yet. Oh, Yoda. Oh, that's a, yeah. There you go. She's contributing to our team, so Yoda is our answer. There you go.

Show me Yoda. Y-O-D-A-Y-O-D-A. Number five, you've covered the first five on the list. Nice. That was a good one. I feel like Leslie's hold. He's holding back. She's got like a list in her head, and she's just holding back on us here. So, Leslie, give me another one. What else you got?

I got one more, and it's the same theme. The saga begins. The saga begins. Yes. Okay. Is that your answer? Is that your guess? That's our guess. All right. Yep, it's the American Pie, Phantom Menace. Show me the saga begins. Look at that. Number seven. Look at that.

Well, now I'm out. Yeah, it's his parody of American Pie by Don McLean that tells the full story of this here Anakin guy. My, my, this here Anakin guy. Maybe Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry. I don't remember that one all. All right. Really?

You don't remember that? Wow. Is there a, you always did like big movie stuff. I swear there's like a mid-90s Jurassic Park song. I only have one more. Oh, what do you got? tell me i love rocky road i love rocky road never heard of it put another thing i've heard the i've heard the original john jett song well it's not even original it's a cover too that's right

good on you oh look at that oh yeah i know a lot of stuff about music just not much about weird out yeah all right is that one right uh i love rocky road show me i love rocky road no yes uh do anything else brag is real quick They're talking it up, jibba jabba. And I heard Jurassic Park in there. I'm going with Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park is scary.

In the dark, all the dinosaurs are running wild. Someone left T-Rex. Show me all that stuff. No, it was on the list, but Jurassic Park low and, let's see, I lost on Jeopardy. I love Rocky Road down at 20, There's got to be like a Devo or something, but that's almost too. I mean, Devo is such a weird.

It's funny because Dare to Be Stupid was number 11. And it's more of a parody of Devo's style of music than it is a parody but I would have included it on there because it is a parody. We still have four or three left to look at, Leslie one, of course. And show me number six. another one rides the bus that's the one i thought you were going to go for when you were talking about the accordion i can't i was that is the that's the era i was thinking of too yeah that was uh him and uh bermuda schwartz on the dr demento show doing that one live

uh show me number nine another one from that era now i do remember that my charona yeah but Bologna instead. And my favorite of his, show me number 10. Word crimes. I don't think. What is that? That's Blurred Lines, his cover of the Robin Thick song, where it's all of the grammatical mistakes. And the music video for that one alone is fantastic.

Yeah, that's a recent deal. I'm not going to lie. When I was a kid, I liked, you know, fat and eat it and that kind of stuff. But once I got older, it's much crap. as I watch, you may not believe that I find most of his humor just too immature. I mean,

and that's stupid because I watch crap and I you know, I praise it. For some reason, it's like this blind spot with Weird Alice, like, yeah. I feel you. Let's go through the rest of the top like 20 or so. Dare to Be Stupid. eBay

is I want it that way parody. Gump, Foyle, which is his royals, by Lord cover Smells like Nirvana Albuquerque Not a parody song Just a song

Just like a 14 minute song about Albuquerque Tacky which was his It's funny when you're talking about Get Lucky is like Oh maybe they'll go down the Farrell Williams track Tacky was his happy Cover trapped in the drive-thru All about the Pentiums

Canadian Idiot is a Green Day I lost on Jeopardy I love Rocky Road The Night's Santa went crazy Bohemian poker I almost said poca, poca, poca, but I'm pretty sure that was just that was just John Candy

going down the list in playing transomobos. I can remember News, King of Swade. By the way, the Cindy Lopper cover or parody was

Girls just want to have lunch and that did not even make the list. Okay. Well, I knew there, there was going to be some slim pickings in the 80s, but there you go.

This means that this happened right here. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Leslie, you've won. What will you do

with your prizes? Just hand them over to Logan or what's the plan? What are you going to do? Well, I plan to probably hang up the art that you send and play games with the cards.

I'm not sure what I'll do with the figurine because I still have it. Chew it up and leave it on somebody's lawn. Yeah, you just chew it up and then someone will find it. It'll be fantastic. There you go.

Well, I'm excited that you won and it's always nice having you on. So good luck. Oh, send me an email. Scott of frogpants.com, and I will send you your prizes post-haste. Okay, done away. We had a really good boop show yesterday.

So people should check it out. Go get that podcast because we had a long, cool discussion about all sorts of things. We had two excellent games. We had a tile-based game that you played, Dorf Romantica, and then we also, I get to play Narita Boy, which is a great neo-retro game. Lots of fun. Very cool stuff. Both brand new, and we love talking indies.

So if you're into that scene, you definitely want to check out the boop show, frogpants.com slash B-O-O-O-P. Check us out this weekend on FilmSack, which should happen unless I'm dead. I'm not expecting to be wrong. We're doing. Don't scare people. Scott's getting the second shot, right? You're getting there Friday? Yeah, getting it Friday.

Hopefully it's all good. We talked about it a little bit earlier, but it's, you know, I'm not, I didn't get the Moderna and in my head, Madonna is worse, and I'm just going to go ahead and plan on that being in my head until it's. And is it, Moderna and Pfizer did it MRNAs? Mr. N.A.

I think those would be the one that probably react similarly. You get in the Pfizer? I got the Pfizer, yeah. So number two is the Pfizer. Brian got Moderna. We'll compare. We'll contrast and compare.

That's right. A couple guys, same age, you know, roughly the same demographic. We'll see how he's react on us. The Johnson Johnson is actually pancake batter mixed with a little bit of Tylenol. Oh, okay.

Wow. That's why it's one dose. Who knew how simple that could have been? Yeah. Right in the veins. It's too bad everybody else didn't think of that before we got this double shot. Anyway. Oh, Drewie got Johnson and Johnson, so we will be able to kind of contrast. But he already got it. So he's done. He got it. Didn't have too much trouble, but I guess his wife knocked Ashley out.

I wonder if his hair is all nice and shiny now. Probably. From the Johnson and Johnson? That's how you get your silver locks. You take the Johnson and Johnson. Brian Dunaway, have a fantastic day. All right, beat it. Beat it.

Eat it. Go eat it. Just beat it. And get fat. I'm fat. Eat it. All right. All right.

All right. That means we've got to take a break. When we come back. Oh, quick note here. This break brought to you by me and Brian, who now publish regular newsletters. And we want you to go get them. So you can get mine at frogpants. And you can find the cover letter, which is an amazing name.

over at coverville.substack.com. So make sure you go do that and get both these things coming to your inbox because why the hell not? Right. Why not? Why not indeed? All right. Song. We need a song, Brian. What's our song?

I think I bought the domain coverly. Cover.org. I'll have to use that for... Oh, yeah. That's great. Coverly. Yeah. Except it's not really cover letter. It's coverly. Anyway, let's get to today's ending in the middle.

This one is some funk. If you've been saying, Brian, really, I like all the songs you've been playing on any of the middle, but I really wish you played more funk. Well, I'm going to. Brand new album from a certain ratio called E-P-A, A-C-R-E-P-A, comes out May 7th, and this is some awesome funk. It's a song called Keep It Together. Here is A Certain Ration.

Thank you. Keep your hands to yourself if you want to leave with both eyes inside your head. Keep your hands to yourself if you want to leave with both eyes inside your head. Trying to keep it together. Trying to keep it together. Together said I'm trying to get it together To find a deep end To find a deep end

All right, we're back, everybody. Man, I got a thing for badly recorded VO from 90s video games. I love that stuff. It's so good. So good. We've come into an era of wonderful, you know, Oscar-worthy quality and video game voiceover in the times we live in now. But man, when things were just getting going in like the 3D era of the 90s, it's still nothing compared to the the Omega Man.

Go to the weight of a wound. Oh, he's the worst, right? He is the worst, but the best at the same time. Yeah, it's amazing that they even let that guy do it. All right. Welcome back to the show. It's time for some tech news. Yeah, you heard me.

A chance for us to see. That's right. I hear mice are big. We've got laser mice. All sorts of fun stuff. Really good. All right, excellent. It's the hot new thing.

With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. That man, per usual, here on a Wednesday, is Tom Merritt, who joins us all the way from his studios in Los Angeles, California. Tom, welcome back to the show. Good to be back, Scott and Brian. Good to have you back.

Hey, I noticed something, that little smiley-faced guy behind you is drooping compared to last week. Oh, shirky? Yeah, yeah. He used to... He was sitting up straighter last time I saw him. He's just a little droopy. I don't know why. I don't think he's moved.

He's slightly... I think you're projecting. I might be projecting. I'm feeling a little droopy. Maybe he has. Maybe he slipped out. He's tipped in a jaunty way. I thought he was always tipped in a jaunty way, but...

No, I don't know. Maybe I'm remembering wrong. I will contrast and compare. Consult the video. Yes, check the tapes. Check the tapes. Anyway, I like it when Tom comes on because we get to find out what the hell's going on in the world.

And when I say world, I mean the tech world. Sometimes it's, you know, Samsung decides they're going to make a brand new belly button, and you can buy yours today, or... Ah, yes, today is... Or an outy. Yeah, or some kind of cryptocurrency nightmare. But you never know until you come on,

so what's going on today? Well, I can give you the 10,000-foot view, or for you Europeans, the 3,000-meter view of chip shortages, or I could try to calm you down about this 533 million Facebook user breach. Oh, okay. this depends on whether or not it's so i was reading this morning that um and i don't remember

the source uh that Zuckerberg's email was part of that breach is that true his personal like contact info i haven't seen that okay in that case i want to hear about the chip shortages because that's otherwise yeah another breach and other facebook cares the short version on the facebook stuff is this is an old breach it doesn't have passwords or payment information uh it's been out there for a while. You just had to pay to get it. Now they made it free. That's the big news. There's also a separate controversy about whether Facebook properly reported it and did it happen before or after the GDPR went into law in Europe. There's a whole shenegle about that. But if you are just worried like, how does this affect me? Somebody, if you're in the breach, might be able

to know a little more about you and try to fish you or spam you or something like that. So as always, be aware of somebody says, hey, I know you live at this address with this phone number. So give me your credit card. Don't give me your credit card. Yeah, don't do that, you guys. No matter who they are. Does it come down to have a lot of information about you. It doesn't mean they're actually legit.

It means they probably got access to this Facebook breach. Yeah. And it's probably, yeah, it's not like they have, like you said, it's not like passwords and junk like that. Like your account's probably okay. Although probably maybe just go change your passwords anyway. I mean, that's good to do once in a while. but uh but yeah actually there's a whole thing about that uh you should definitely change your passwords if there's been a breach for sure yeah go do that don't just changing your password every month

doesn't make you more secure it actually makes you more likely to use weaker passwords so use strong passwords oh interesting yeah that is good i generate them now with a giant code generator that's like great idea the only way to do it yeah if you're doing anything else you're probably exposing yourself and not even knowing it uh all right speaking of exposure let's dive into chip exposure and how that's less than ever right now. Yeah. So we've been following this on Daily Tech News show. So those of you who already listened to Daily Tech News show can sit back and feel a little smug because you're like, I know all about this. But if you haven't, you may be wondering like, how much of this is affecting my ability to get a PS5 or an NVIDiographics card

or a car. And it is. It definitely is. It's not a one-to-one. It's not like, oh, chip shortage, therefore, PS5 shortage. It's more complex than that. There's, a lot of demand. There's a higher demand than even Sony expected or NVIDIA expected. The chip shortages are actually impacting cars more than anything else. And there's a few reasons behind that. One is when the pandemic hit, everybody like ratcheted down chip fabrication because they thought, oh, people are going to stop buying stuff. And the car manufacturers projected we're going to make fewer cars because, you know, people aren't going to buy stuff. Two things happened. One is people bought more consumer electronics, which exhausted some of the chips

in inventory and in the supply chain. That began the chip shortage because people never stopped buying. In fact, they bought more laptops and tablets and that sort of thing. And the other thing that happened was people came back to buying cars faster than everyone expected. So we then add to that the fact that there was this horrible snowstorm in Texas, which hit some of the fabrication that happens in Texas, horrible rains and flooding in Taiwan, which has caused a water shortage in Taiwan. I know that what I just said doesn't make sense, but trust me, there's a water shortage in Taiwan, and it takes a lot of water to create chips. So that is having an impact on one of the world's biggest chip makers, TSMC. There's also the trade disputes

between the United States and China, which complicate things. So a lot of Chinese companies were stockpiling chips to make sure they didn't run out in case they got hit by that. You also had fires in some Japanese plants. A lot of this stuff wouldn't have mattered on its own, but combined with the pandemic supply chain problems, it's causing a big shortage. And we talked yesterday on Daily Tech News Show about one of the keys to this is a very tiny, very simple chip that's made on a 16 nanometer process. So that's a really old process. Your chips these days are made on 10 nanometers, 7 nanometer, 5 nanometer. This is an old process.

The display driver in your screen, whether it's on your iPad or your monitor, these are very simple things. This is not your graphics card. Right. This is just a little chip that takes the instructions from the graphics card or anywhere else and tells the display, oh, light this pixel up, light that pixel up. Those are the ones that are causing a lot of the bottleneck because nobody built a bunch more 16 nanometer plants or processes. And nobody wants to. Nobody wants to take that on because they're like, well, as soon as the ship shortage is done, like, we're not going to build a bunch of new stuff on 16 nanometer. So that is actually one of the key problems.

And one of the reasons automotive is having a big shortage because you need those display drivers to go into the screen in your infotainment system in the modern car. To the point that Ford, GM, Toyota, all the car manufacturers are ramping down production of cars. I think it was GM that was making trucks, but not putting chips in them and just parking them so that they could just put chips in them when it was chippedless trucks. Chippless trucks. I mean, okay, so I'm going to just throw out a fun marketing idea that no one's going to actually do, but I love this idea.

What if you were like, hey, we're going to make a retro, a whole brand of retro trucks. and by retro we mean we're going to do some cool styling that seems a little retro but they'll be modern in every other way except there'll be none of the chips in here we're going to make them less of a roving computer we're going to really go back to the good old days when it was just you your carburetor and your pistons and here's our line of low impact chip free

automobiles that feels probably like they'd never do it because that's more of a long-term commitment and this is a short-term problem potentially so this is never going to happen but It's an interesting thought. Yeah. I think the reasons they might not do that are you do have a cost in making a design for that, right? Yeah.

You know, you and I can sit there and go, well, that's easy. You just put a wooden board where the screen was. And then you call it the retro. Like, that's not how it works. Even if you make it super simple, that's not how it works. There's also a maintenance issue. You're not, your profit margin isn't as big. They want to sell the big profit margin trucks.

And everyone thinks the chip shortage is going to end by the end. by the end of this year early next year, at which point your competitors eat your lunch because they're like, hey, they're selling you all those crazy retro trucks. We have modern electric vehicles for the future, and then suddenly you're behind the game. Yeah, and then you've got the whole, I mean, because

it does kind of go against trend, but also there's a maintenance issue where maintenance is so surrounding, and now is so surrounded by maintenance tools and diagnostics that are based on these cars being heavily computerized, that you can't just suddenly go,

we got to hire a guy who remembers cars in the 70s. There's that too. Yeah. Like it's a whole different animal. So it's probably not going to happen. But it does just feel like a virtual, almost like a Suez Canal blockage moment of we had a blip in the system. And that blip was a complicated one like you described all the reasons behind it and all that. But that it will, you know, it'll even out because I won't it.

Of course it will. Everyone's in everyone's best interest to have that thing even out. It's a matter of when, not if. some of the more pessimistic analysts are pointing out like we had similar impacts from the financial crisis in 2008 and those took a couple years to work out and this is a more I don't know sophisticated or severe impact to the supply chain than that was so so some folks are like we're still going to be feeling the effects of this a couple years down the road which I think is fair just a matter of how much will be feeling those effects. Most people think by the beginning of 2022, the supply chain, for the most part, will be worked out. And you won't see the shortages you have now. You won't see factories having to stop producing cars because they don't have chips to put on them. That's a good point.

Well, then everyone can show us their products at the end of the year. We'll see how it goes. Take that, Tim Cook. Anyway, hey, Tom Merritt, this and so much more will be discussed at length today, at least for a half an hour on the Daily Tech News show, plus a bunch of bonus stuff for patrons over there. anything else you'd like to mention before we go? Well, yes, I've really been enjoying. I know I say this every week, but I feel like I get new people emailing me every week on my newsletter. Just asking questions, chatting, whatever.

It's really nice to see. So if you would like to be part of that, even if you just want the one-way conversation where I just send you the message, free time newsletter. It's a free newsletter that frees me to talk to you. Freetomnewletter.com. I write a little bit about my week and put links to all the shows I've been doing and all that kind of stuff. Sure. It's great. And we're loving doing our new ones. A lot of that is due to you and others who kind of inspired us to do it. But it's such a weird. Let's talk about throwbacks of how we used to do things. It just feels like I'm going back to a time where I get to make a thing. I used to do it in print. But, you know, like your own little zine with your own little bit of whatever. And there's the feedback part is the great part.

at least with the service I'm using, people can email me back and send direct replies or do comments on basically thrited comment boards that are part of these posts. And it's just a combination of like new and old and it's working really well in my head. I'm really enjoying it. Yeah. So for my ICQ number and my Usenet address, check out my. No, you can get all that stuff on Friendster. Yeah. That's where Brian gets all this stuff.

And we're going to have some fun here, do some recommendals. We've got the rings of ringage, nearly the rings of speakage.

Waiting for the rings of speakage. Yeah, let me double check my text, make sure I didn't hear anything from her. Nope. I may send her a quick note and say, hi, you with us today?

Oh, that's right. Is your first shot. Yeah, which one? Yep. Pfizer. Pfizer. I got the FISA. I got the FISA.

FISA. Yeah. FISA. Oh, well, good. I'm glad to hear that. I was a little weirded out that day. Like, kind of just felt off, but not bad. But somebody told me that if you felt off and bad about the first one at all, that you're

second one will suck. So, we'll see. Like clockwork, there's Ava. Yeah, there's Ava. Wipe my butt again, Mom. All right, we're going to do recommendals, everybody. These recommendals are things we've seen on streaming services that we all three like to want to recommend. Do you find folks at home? We'll start with Brian's. Any setup Brian for this? So set up for the first one is they're both movies. They're both Oscar nominated, neither for Best Picture, but nominated in other categories.

both deservedly so. And this one is a nominee for Best Actress. Ooh, all right, here goes. She has to pay for her incompetence. Is this about money? No. Is it about what people think? It's about you.

It's about you having to face this. I am facing this. I am facing it. I am facing this. Well, I don't think you are. We need, we need some. some justice here. No, you need.

That is what you want. That is what you need. That is your way. That is not my way. That is what you need. Martha, if you had done it my way, you'd be holding your baby in your arms right now. I don't know who either of these ladies are.

I know what movie. This is a, the woman did a home birth. That's correct. Yep. Pieces of a woman is the name of it. Oh, it's the one you were.

were telling me about the other day. Yes. This is, so that was Vanessa Kirby, who most folks might know from the first couple seasons of the crown. She played Princess Margaret, the sister of Queen Elizabeth. It is some angry acting, man.

It is some super angry acting in that scene. You're also hearing Ellen Burstyn, both of whom have been nominated. Vanessa Kirby nominated for Best Actress of the Oscars, but Ellen Burstin nominated for Best Supporting Actress with the St. Louis Film Critics Association

and the Satellite Awards and yeah, amazing job by Frickin Vanessa Kirby. This movie also has Shia LeBuff in it in a really, really good role, although I will warn you. There is nudity,

and some of that is a little Shia. Shia LeBuff Wiener. We get LeBuff Wiener. You get LeBuff Wiener. And not just like, not just brief. I mean, it's great. he did that and he was had a wiener out in some other movie um oh that weird uh that weird uh swedish director

thing i forgot what brown bunny or brown is brown bunny um oh that was brown bunny that was a what was it called yeah called sex face or something sex face that's it i can't remember i think it's uh nymphomaniac nymphomaniac that's right i was necrophilia. I'm like, that's not the right one. That's it. I think he's just always looking for a reason to get his wiener out. But anyway, how is he was Gallo? That's right.

Yeah. Anyway, so this is pieces of a woman. It is, it's good. It is heavy and it deals with, like Nicole said, a home birth that goes wrong. You might pick up on something from the, from the audio you heard earlier, although that part's not really a spoil. that's you know you find that out very early on the movie but it is um and there's like a there's like a court case too that happens there is and the other person that you all know oh a couple more people that you know and love molly parker i love molly parker she's fantastic uh she was

raylon given's wife in um deadwood and she was on house of cards she's fantastic she was the only good thing in that wicker man movie we saw remember that yeah right actually she was yeah Yeah. Molly Parker's fantastic. I don't know that she's ever done anything crappy. She's always good. No, she's always really good. She plays the midwife. Sarah Snook, who you know from Succession, she's a, uh, uh, Shiv in that family.

She plays, uh, cousin, uh, who's also really, really good in this. Um, this is actually executive produced by Martin Scorsese, but it's not three and a half hours long. So that's really, it's also got something going for it. So anyway, it's really, really good. Just be warned that if, you know, if you're, if you're, sensitive to those kind of subjects it deals with them in a very frank and

heartbreaking way so so be ready but it is a really really good really powerful film well I think I think there's some controversy around it because a lot of people have really been fighting to try to do more home births

there's a whole documentary with Ricky Lake I remember watching those and it was talking about like kind of becoming going back to the way that women have always like when I gave birth I was like I need to get up like I need to move around I do not want to be laying on my back and it kind of sets that movement back yeah from what I'm hearing yeah this yeah I mean I'd say that um without giving anything away uh this starts off not painting home birth in a positive light, but, but does later on.

Well, it is a, I mean, it is a, no matter what, your, a childbirth is a risk no matter where you're doing it. Yeah, it's true. And I don't know that it's, I don't, I don't know the number, so I shouldn't speak to it, but I can't imagine that they're all that different with certain situations at home or in the, you know, if the doctor can't do anything, what, you know, what chances do you have? So I don't know. That's an interesting discussion, but I want to see this and we'll see it. It's really good. And Vanessa Kirby is the biggest reason to see this. She is just so good in this and such a great actress in this role.

So it's on Netflix, streaming on Netflix, it's called Pieces of a Woman. Okay. My second recommendal doesn't have any audio to go along with it because it would sound like Borka, Borka, Borka, Borka, Borka, Borka, Borka, Borka. So Swedish then, okay, got it. It is. It's actually, I think it's, it actually might be Danish. Co-production between Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden.

So it's borka, borka, durca, and flurca, flurca, I don't know. Yeah. No one will be offended by that. It'll be fine. No, not one bit, not one bit. So I'm just going to tell you what it is. This is a movie called Another Round. It is a movie starring Mads Mikkelson.

So it's got your Hannibal Lecter or your guy that ripped out the bottom of a chair and beat the crap out of Daniel Craig through it. Yeah. I love that guy. And it's about the premise that a psychiatrist whose name is Finn Scarterud had, he was theorized that having a blood alcohol content of 0.05% makes you more creative and relaxed. It relaxes you. It lowers your inhibitions to where you're not inhibited by your own thinking. And these four guys decide, hey, that sounds good to us. Let's try that and see if it works. And so they actually do conduct an experiment.

It's a fictional movie. It sounds like I'm describing a documentary. But Mads Mikkelson and his buddies decide, all right, let's try this out. And things go really well for a while. and then, as you might expect, things go kind of horribly wrong after that. It's funny because this film is advertised as a comedy drama, and there are definitely aspects of both in this.

It just doesn't feel like it's a situation or a story that would have a lot of room for comedy and drama. It's really, really good. And all four of them are teachers at the school, So some of the comedy and some of the drama come from the fact that they're their teachers and are around students doing this binge drinking all the time. This is one where if you watch the trailer, you won't get spoiled by the movie. They do a really good job in the trailer of setting things up and it'll tell you whether or not you want to watch it or not. You get subtitles to deal with.

They're not bad at all. You know, it's do it. Do it. Put up with them. Yeah. reading once in a while everybody dual reading never hurts never hurts and mads mickleson again like vanessa kirby is one of the best reasons to watch this film because he he can do so much not saying a damn thing on screen yeah and um and then this one is nominated both for best international

feature film used to be called best foreign film and best director so i'm hoping it wins one of those he's awesome uh he's kind of one of those actors where i i'm i'm i'm i'm he's in a thing and I'm just, then I will watch the thing. It doesn't even matter if that thing's bad. Like, Polar was a bad movie, but I still watched it because he was in it. Like, I don't care. Yeah, this is, this one's streaming on Hulu. So hop over there and

watch this and then, and then wash it down with some parasite, uh, if you're on the whole, uh, subtitles kick. Did you know, I don't know when the last time you guys saw this, but the Rihanna video for bitch, but I had my money. That song. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Does that have Matt's Mickles to minute? He's the accountant. accountant in that video. Really? Wow. I did not know that at all. That long ago either, like five years ago. Anyway, all right. Well done. Fantastic grouping there. Another round is the

name of that second one. Nice. Get it on Hulu. Here's my recommendation. This is an HBO Max thing. It's a documentary. And it goes against my instincts to watch it. But I did. And here it is. We're just hanging out. There's my lovely life, Jerry. he was so excited to show me all the sites and then this Asian cruise just came up on our radar so we signed up okay it's short oh this is the COVID this is the COVID uh cruise yes so it's called the last cruise uh it's all about Tom Cruise by himself in the world he can he can read books but his glasses got broken it's like an episode just kidding it's not that uh it's the it's that cruise ship that got docked outside of Tokyo and stuck there for 30 something plus days in quarantine and represented

the first outbreak, sort of mobile outbreak that had happened early on in the pandemic. And this documentary is basically told through people's personal videos they're making on their phones the entire time from the beginning when they're all having a great time and there's big crowds everywhere to when the thing's basically a ghost ship and nobody's allowed to leave their rooms. A hundred and foursie. Coffin and everybody's coffin. Yeah, it's pretty bad.

700 and something. Think about how much misinformation was at the beginning. Oh, yeah. It was crazy. It was crazy. And you see that process of not knowing. They didn't even know they're like COVID-19, I guess is what this is called. Like it's a really weird, naive time early on in this thing.

We're talking January, February of last year. and it's haunting and better than I thought it was going to be. I was nerd. Like I said, this goes against my instincts to watch something like this because I don't want to dwell on this damn pandemic. I don't want, I'm not ready for those documentaries right now. I'm not really ready to do the in-depth. Ooh, remember this.

It's just too raw for me. So I was really hesitant to do this, but somebody said, hey, you should watch it. It's interesting. And it's also just kind of runs itself. It doesn't need a lot of narration. it doesn't need a lot of anything and it's only like an hour it's like 48 minutes or something so it's short and it just covers this princess what's the name of the ship something princess whatever it is diamond princess ship um and the people that are on it and there's a utah connection because this uh lady and dude who you heard in that clip are on there and i remember hearing about them locally because we were we were told oh there's a Utah couple stuck on the ship and so they're they're on here they annoy the hell out of me in this thing but um they're just the kind of people you wouldn't want to meet on a cruise ship that would drive you free people he wouldn't want to be stuck on a cruise ship with oh my gosh but then they show up from the perspective of the employees

and how they were treated way differently and some of the deaths came from there in the end it was like 750 infected on the ship and maybe more because they because they were they didn't have good testing for like asymptomatic people which is how the spread was happening so bad and so ended up with like i think 15 deaths total after it was all said and done in third 30 days. They follow a number of people around. The employees was the most interesting to me because these are people that, you know, that job is their lifeline to feed their families back home in the Philippines. Philippine government were kind of horrible about making sure they were taking care of. Listening to the captain every day, do his little announcements of the day. And then as they'll slowly just

got darker and darker and it just got real weird. In the beginning, it's like, we don't see you. We don't think there'll be much of a problem. We're just, you know, wash your hands and nirp a dupe. And then by the 30th day, it's like, we mourn the death of yet another, you know, member of the whatever. And it was crazy. Hasmat suits coming on, trying to test people. And, you know, it's just nuts. Anyway, I, uh, I'll make an exception for this one. Because it was, it was really short and informative. And a good reminder of just how naive we were in the beginning and how poor, not just America's response was, but a lot of, a lot of places were just didn't know what the frick we were doing and they were all covering their

tracks like don't you know don't worry it's fine uh princess cruises says that this is not a problem you can go ahead and do land shore or go ahead and go into hong kong even though like china was like spreading out of control at the time but nobody knew and masks were harder to get and all this kind of stuff it's just it's just crazy so anyway it's uh called the last cruise i started getting my uh the uh my you know Facebook reminders sorry you broke up you broke up really bad I didn't know you were breaking up yeah yeah you broke up a little weird so speaking speaking of mass I got my first year like Facebook reminder of my first mask made

I thought I started making an April I was making them I started making them mid March wow yeah look at you and now it's a burgeoning multi-million dollar year business. It's crazy. But you know what, though? I joined a group called the million mask. And it was a bunch of women. And we were all making masks and we're still making masks for hospitals, you know, care facilities that can't afford masks. So all these women are still, there's still people requesting masks. And these women are still, they're well over a million now. but it's called get p p.e.org where you can either volunteer to make a mask or a scrub cap or anything like that and then you send them out and they they support that whole community.

I'm glad that people still make masks because the only ones that fit me. I can't wear standard masks. They don't fit my dumb giant head. Have you tried the, like the, was it the K-N-94? That's my favorite. I don't think I've tried that one. Mostly it's stuff people have made or I've bought or Tadpoolers make them and I buy theirs. You sent me a few.

Like the custom ones seem to fit me better. Anything that's like manufactured somewhere, just too small. I just can't. The KN90, I think it's 94, is a Korean equivalent of N95. And it's kind of, it looks like a duck. Oh, really? I like it because it doesn't sit on my mouth. Oh, yeah.

I like that one the best. Oh, very nice. All right. Well, Nicole, what did you watch? over the week. Well, I'm here to lighten up this party. Yeah, let's do it. Please do. Her home births gone wrong and COVID cruises.

And alcoholism. Yeah, yeah. Right. So I have two fun shows. I don't have a clip, so I'm just going to play it from my phone, and hopefully you guys can hear it. Okay. All right.

I like this. This first show, I started watching it because of an S&L skit. So I'll play you a clip. We'll talk about it. It's pretty funny. Okay. Let's see. Get my volume up all the way.

Girl phone was in town. And he runs into the room. The girl I was with at the time was terrified. And she's like, ah! And she covered up and she ran into the kitchen. He picked me up. And I didn't have nothing on. So now I'm naked.

On his shoulder. We're in the hallway. We're wrestling around. I'm like, Peanut. Peanut's filming it all. I'm like, Peanut, you can't be filming this shit. And we're like wrestling. And then I got upset about it because he got the better of me.

But I'm in some weird, twisty naked. position like my shit's over here and the shit's over here. I'm like, ugh, don't. We wound up like inching over the stairs where the stairs were and he fell down the stairs. He wound up hurting his back. So for the rest of the shoot, he told everybody I knocked him out, but that wasn't the case. We were having some weird, like, a cutie wrestling match. So who do you think that he was talking about? No idea. God, I have no idea. It's one of your favorite boys, Scott. One of my favorite boys? Tom Hardy.

Oh, Tom Hardy. Oh, really? Really? Who do you think that was talking? Oh, I, um, so he was talking about Tom Hardy, whoever that was. He was talking about wrestling with Tom Hardy. It was Shia Lubbuff? It was Shiloh.

Yes. What are they doing wrestling naked? So it's part of the story. So this is a show called Hot Ones. It's actually a podcast. You can go on YouTube and watch all over and there's like 14 seasons, but they have them on, they have them on Hulu now. And I saw the Shia LaBuff one.

And I was like, oh, I'm kind of interested to see this because what they do is they lay out 12 hot wings and they have 12 hot sauces and they go up from, you know, mild to like insane spicy. Hitler's butthole, yeah. Yes. So the reason why I started watching it was because Maya Rudolph was on SNL a few weeks ago and she played Beyonce being on hot ones. Oh, yeah, I heard about that.

It was the funniest, funniest. It was really, really good, yeah. So I was like, I need to check out this show Hot Ones because if you think about it, you're, I mean, the guy who's doing the interviewing does really good interviews, like really good questions. And he has a lot, a lot of famous people on it. And like, I want to see Paris Hilton, you know, try to answer a question in pain. Right, right.

Because what's great about it, yeah, throws them off of their game. So they're more willing to answer questions. they're distracted by the pain and Shia he's like crying in a lot of the situation where it's just like because he's doing usually they get to the end and they do a dab they do the last dab but he dabbed

all the way through and and the interviewer's like really wait they dab in this thing he dabs like the dab so you have the hot sauce sauces lined up and you have the chicken wings lined up they're already spiced but they dab another dab on

I thought you meant the dance move. He's not doing the... He's not doing the dab. Oh, thank the Lord on high. I was suddenly not interested in this thing at all, but I'm glad they're not doing the actual dab. The Gordon Ramsey, if you haven't watched the Gordon Ramsey one yet, that's a great one.

He has Alton Brown on there, and Alton Brown actually ranks the sauces as he's eating them. So he, like, orders them. Yes. I want to see someone famous. Burl all over the place, like when they, they just can't be great, right? Shekelo, I thought was, didn't Shaquille only like down a gallon of milk during the news? So here's on, I'm on their YouTube channel.

The YouTube channel is not Hot Ones. It's actually First We Feast. So it's First We Feast is the YouTube channel. And then the show underneath that is called Hot Ones. So they have Jennifer Garner. They have Harris Hilton. They have Keenan Thompson. Aquafina, Kevin James.

I mean, they just have A-list stars and B-list and C-List, but they have a lot of famous people that come on this show to be interviewed and eat Hot Wings. So check it out. It's an entertaining show. I always wondered which game first. There's a video game one, and I don't remember what it was called,

but people would have to review a game they played while they ate Hot Wings. And I don't know if that was before this or this came before that. I don't know. But YouTube's weird that way. I don't know who came up with this idea. But definitely check out the S&L skit with Maya Rudolph being Beyonce eating hot wings. Nice.

She's like sweating. What they should do is they should make LeBuff answer questions about his horrible personal life and the awful things he did. He talks about that. Does he? Oh, really? He's there promoting Honeyboy. Yeah. So he kind of, he has this weird kind of self-realization that he's kind of.

broken yeah but does he actually like does he actually talk about the horrible shit he does the stuff he did uh no i don't think so yeah no i don't think so well that's there you go honey boy got his peanut butter and in the thing or whatever hey uh all right so that's number one i got one more i got one more there's no words to it whatsoever i am absolutely uh watch it Every night with Ava, here it is. What is that? It's an alien thing that's going to make us Rob Banks. What is that?

So this is a Netflix show. I think it's poy-poi or po-po-po-po-mo-car. Po-po-po-po-po-po-po-po-po-po-po-po-po-po-po-poi. Poi-poi-mo-mocar. It's little, you know what needle-felting is? No. So needle-felting is a way, so you can take felt and you needle it and you can make these, you know, little animals. So these are all needle-felted guinea pigs in the shape of a car. Don't try to make sense of it.

And people, and it's all stop motion animation. It kind of reminds me if you've ever seen like the Soom Soom Shorts on Disney. Yeah. It kind of gives me that little vibe, but way cuter. Ava and I watch this every single night. The episodes are maybe two minutes long, if you're lucky. and it's adorable. I highly recommend it.

It's just a wonderful little show. Oh, look at this weird looking thing. It's so fun. I love it. It's really weird. So wait, there's no dialogue in this? It's just,

it's Japanese. Okay. And it's, so is there, what, like an ASMR thing going on here? No, it just little, little guinea pigs go around and they go squeak, and there's like little,

like there's one zombie. zombie episode where the little mole cars are running away from the zombies and they some one of the mole cars has a hamburger on top of his head and then they give the zombies the meat patty and then the little and they eat that's this is where I say don't think about it too hard because the cars eat and there's a person inside driving the car really okay that's insane this is like some telotubbies level. It's so cute. It's like the cutest thing ever.

It's so cute. I'm in. I'm into this weirdness. I'm going to watch this. The first episode, it's when they, it's only seven minutes long and it's episode one, two,

and three. Okay. So we, so Ava and I just keep watching the same ones over and over and over again. And she has her favorites. That's great. But there's technically only four episodes on Netflix right now, season one.

Because they're so short. What's the one with the zombies? I think it might be in episode 7, 8, 9. Okay. This is the most bizarre thing ever, yeah. It's so cute. Weird. It's so cute.

All right, I'm in. I'm in. I'm going to watch it. There's so much weird kids stuff on Netflix, like strange cartoons and animation. I should watch more of this stuff. There's some weird ones. And I need to find somebody that knows how to needle felt because I need one of these little mall cars.

Needle felt. I love it. That sounds like a great last name. Somebody named Vincent Needlefelt is a good name. Needlefelt. It does totally. I like that a lot. All right. If you want mold car on your life or any of these other recommendations we had today, then you can follow Nicole on Twitter at Nicole Spag. It'll also be retweeted on the morning stream Twitter as well, where she tracks all these and tells you where to get them. Nicole, thanks for doing that. And have a fantastic week. You too. Bye. Mark's bum, wipe Mark's bum. All right. Oh, geez. Well, you know, he needs help, dude. I mean, I'm not here to judge. He's got a bum and you got a wipe.

Front to back, front to back. All right. Oh, yeah. Side to side. Never. Side to side. By the way, that sixth grader earlier had to leave in the chat and said, I've got to go now. I have a Zoom meeting.

I must attend. I'll be back later. I love it. I have a Zoom meeting. What is this? Some kind of brilliant six... I guess everyone does Zoom for school and stuff, but... Yeah. I'm sure it's like... That's so weird.

All right, let's go over your Earth Science homework now. Front the back standing up. Chewy. Come on now. I don't want to think about it. All right. We're done with the show proper, but I do have a couple of quick things, including this email about coconut milk. Brian doesn't like it. Neither do I. Not as a creamer, but as a, you know... Not in my coffee, yeah. It's a weird thing. But anyway, Carol wrote in. says, I really enjoyed your conversation at the top of Tuesday's episode, 2094, about coffee creamers of choice. I completely agree with you that coconut milk does not belong in a cup of coffee. However, we'd like to suggest that other things beyond a Thai or Thai, chai, Thai, Thai,

Thai, Thai curries. Why was I going to say, I was thinking of chai tea and it was throwing me off. You all said, thigh and chai and chai. I want a good Thai curries that contain coconut milk that are delicious. In Southeast Asia, it's very common ingredient in desserts. As a Vietnamese American, I grew up eating chi or chay. Jay?

Jha. J, which refers to a variety of desserts made from different ingredients like fruit, sweet beans, like the red and mung beans, jellies, and of course, coconut milk slash cream. Some can be eaten hot or cold, even served with crushed ice, oh, crushed ice, rather. That sounds really good. There's a franchise called Bamboo. that specializes in

and has locations all over the U.S. I'm pretty sure there's at least one is in both Salt Lake City and Denver. She gives us a link to both those. If you ever get a chance, I urge you guys to try to visit. My favorites are the ones with mung bean and pandan jelly, as well as smashed avocado, which is often used more of a sweet ingredient in Southeast Asia

than in the U.S. That's true. My sister-in-law makes all kinds of stuff with avocado in general. that's not what we would normally do. It's all like desserts and it's weird. It says here's a link to the menu for the one in Salt Lake City. Couldn't find the one in Denver, she says. They also serve coffees, teas, juices, smoothies, and so on. You'll find something you like.

So Carol, thank you very much for the recommendations. Oh, yeah, Sinto is the avocado, taro, and other unique real fruit smoothies. Nice. And then they do have bubble teas and blended and juices. there's one. It's funny, it says four miles away, but it's four miles away based on where my ISP is located. So it's really, it is like halfway across town, but I'm adding it to my list to check out on your list. Sure. I was going to ask you a question about Boba tea. Yeah. Do you like sucking goo balls through a straw or how do you? I do. I like the little tapioca balls. It's like

getting, uh, it's like gambling and you might get a fruit roll up in ball form when you take that next sip of your drink. I always, I never like it because I feel like I'm eating something that is coagulated like, like, like blood or something, you know, like, yeah, no, I'm, I'm, I'm a sucker for a good, uh, purple, uh, taroboba.

oh Giles did I say Giles Giles sorry I like that she wrote Giles not Giles but it's spelled exactly the same yes Giles not Giles

I was thinking the J Giles band whenever I think whenever I see that name all right it's Anthony Stewart Head who is is taking on the

Tim Curry role here for this song it's a great cover from 199 91. It's sweet transvestite. Is he the one that does the talking in between? Yep. Bangkok. Orional city, but the city don't know.
