Welcome back to TMS for Wednesday, May 5th. It's no longer that dumb Star Wars day. It's time for tacos. So get your tacos out. It's Revenge of the 5th, Scott. Come on. I forgot about that. And then somebody in the Tadpool or somewhere on Facebook,

I can remember what it was, but somebody put up some meme where it's like, may the 4th be with you and it's crossed out. And then Revenge of the 5th crossed out. And then below that, a picture of the Mandalorian that says, this is the May. It kind of made me want to kill myself if I'm honest. Yeah, that's really shoehorned.

Yeah. It's kind of annoyed the hell out of me. But anyway, that was the thing. And today it's all about tacos and celebrating Cinco de Mayo, de Mayo. That's right. That's good. You got any big plans? Your shirt has plans.

I can tell that. My shirt is doing more partying than I will. Yeah, we're making tacos tonight, but this is my, it's really my Mexican holiday shirt. So this works for Cinco de Mayo. for Dia de los Mertes. I could probably wear it for Caesar Chavez Day. I don't know what day that is, but... Oh, is that a day?

I don't know that was a day. I think it's a day. Oh, can we celebrate that? Caesar Chavez Day. He's the guy, he made the salad, right? He's responsible for the Caesar salad. Yes, it's Julius Caesar Chavez. Got it.

Got it. Nailed it. March 31st. I missed Caesar Chavez Day. I did not wear this shirt for Caesar Chavez Day. Well, there's always Pablo Escobar Day or something like that. I'll look for it. There is, yes.

Oh, someone is there really, is there a, what about, is there a Viva Zapata day? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. There ought to be. Let's celebrate everything. I don't care. Aren't there weird?

Viva Zapata Day. Plus, there's always weird, like, you know, strange holidays. Like, there's always something like if every day's got something dumb. Well, Monday was, uh, support your favorite podcast today or something like that. Oh, well, that's nice. I didn't know about that. That's very nice. All right, here we go.

May 5th. according to this is a number of holidays not just Cinco de Mayo we have National Astronaut Day so if you go to your local astronaut give him a little pat on the back and if you don't have one that lives close by just wear a diaper and drive across the country drinking Red Bulls until you get to your favorite astronaut that's right they make you fly then there's this one National Cartoonist Day I can benefit oh look at that yeah and here's the secret so could Brian he's actually very good he just doesn't do it very often but when he does it's it's always it's always good uh national science the shame day what national oh silence sorry silence the shame day so no shame today everybody no shame okay go everyone out with your wiener out let's go no shame yep there you go uh it's also national uh totally chipotle day what is that chipotle doing that that's some kind of it must be right yeah i don't like it well yeah of course i I mean, Cinco de Mayo, they're going to try and plant their flag on that business.

Like, yeah, yeah, it's, uh, yeah, just like they make in Mexico with, uh, long, uh, stainless steel rails for you to walk along. And, uh, that sounds right. How about national, it's also national hoagy day. That seems contradictory to the, uh, to the, uh, Mexican food to the Mexico to myo business. Yeah. And then finally, May 5th known for National School Nurse Day. So, oh, yeah. you ever have you had a nurse in school right

sure yeah she's she was the best for getting out of tests right it's like oh i need to see the nurse did you uh did you ever have to go in there for anything i'm trying to think if i ever had to go to the nurse oh i broke my finger when i punched that kid that was the only time well really yeah i fell off a thing once uh blacked out for a little bit oh geez like like like the top of a slide and and uh at Edgewater Elementary School And I don't remember much about that day Other than I fell off this line

And had to go to the school nurse Were you out for a period of time Like couldn't account for a certain chunk of time Or whatever I mean it was still daylight when I came to And it was daylight when I fell off the thing It didn't affect me none By the way, we're one day away from

I just want to get this out earlier We're one day away from National Crape Susette Day. Oh, thank goodness. Yeah, start planning now. What's a crepe suzette filled with? I don't know, actually. What is that? I know it sounds like a fancy food that my grandma would make.

It's like a 70s dish, right? Sort of. Yes. Looking at a crepe suzette. French dessert consisting of crepes with Bia Suzette, a sauce of caramelized sugar and butter, tangerine or orange juice. Zest and Grand Marnier triple sec or orange Curacao Liquor on top prepared a table side performance flambay. Whoa, Brian, they had you at...

So basically it's orange crepes on fire. Yeah, they had you at the liquor part. They did, actually, yes. Yeah. Yes, I like that they say Grand Marignet, triple sec, or orange curacao liquor. I like to think of it as and. Yeah, why not both? I say.

Why not all three? Yeah. Why not both? so you hear that everybody both i've trained it out myself i've trained it out both i don't say i'm gonna just i'm gonna do both with enough both all right i support your decision sure thanks it's also national tomorrow is national day of reason that's amazing that's great national day of reason yeah let's all figure out how to do that one that's a good one is so that means everybody will get the vaccine tomorrow yep that'll be how it goes um you know what i can't

understand. Sorry, vaccines use marijuana. I'm not going to get the vaccine, Scott, but I'm also going to bitch and complain about them not opening everything up 100%. Right. I'll do both. Why not both? I was going to say, it wasn't going to say to you. Oh, shit. I forgot. Oh, no. Did I completely your day reason, national day reason. Vaccine. Oh, vaccines. So I don't understand this certain percentage of people who are getting the first shot and not following up for their second. That part, that's weird. Yeah. Like, why are you even bothering like it's not gonna i mean i guess there's some effectiveness but it's way diminished and short so what do you do yeah i don't i don't get it either um uh i know someone who got the first shot got really sick from it and was on the fence about getting the second shot but still

ultimately got the second shot because she knew it was the right thing to do but she she did get like multi-day sick from the first one oh that and that's why they were on the the fence that's why they were on the fence. She's like, yeah. I have a family member who, you do you need to get it. She's like, yeah, I know. I'll get it. But she was.

I have a family member who, who I think I told you about this, ended up in in the ER, couldn't breathe, having all these, like a real bad case of actual, the actual disease like six months ago. And now is not sure they want to get the shot. And I said, well, you really should once you know, your, your antibody time window ends. And they don't know if they don't know if they,

want to do it and i'm like well wait you've been through this you know how serious it is why wouldn't you want to and they said no i don't i don't want to do that again i'm like well i don't think it's exactly the same again and it's not a guarantee it's like okay uh get the shot be sick for a few days don't get the shot be sick for a few days possibly ending in death yeah and the and the and the one for the the the shot is is all like a ruse anyway you're not really sick you just think you are so you'll be fine and just get the get the thing and get the second one Not. Yeah, and get the second one. Do that. Right. Right.

Quick, get off Facebook. I'm not saying he reads Facebook, but everybody, get off of, get off of Zuckerberg's hot or not clone. Okay, get off of that. Right. And let's do something else. The big dating app known as Facebook. Yeah. Never forget. That's how that thing started. It was a hot or not rip off, and I'll never quite, I'll never quite understand how it grew from there. I really don't. And why it wasn't someone else, but whatever. Well, you know, that's all right.

When we're done with Facebook, we can just hop on over to Donald Trump's new social media. Oh, you mean that blog that he launched? From the desk. Yes, Donald Trump invented blogging from the desk of Donald Trump. My only problem of that is, is that? Like, it's not even him doing it. He launched a blog. Okay, great.

Yeah. But all the news sources are going, a new communications platform from Donald Trump. It's one way communication from one person out to other people. it's a blog you can't even reply to things no you can't even do comments it's like not even a good blog it's worse than a blog yeah i mean it's so goofy it's so goofy to me that everybody's going oh this is his new communications platform right no it's not it's a freaking 2001 called and they want their live journal back what are you doing that's right exactly yes all right oh brian you put sent me down a road there uh there's no character limit no character limit

I can say as much stuff as I want. 280. More like 5,000. No verification. Oh, there is a limit. There's an upper limit. Why don't you fix that? Can we remove that, please?

Remove the upper limit. Oh my gosh. Completing about his 10,000 character. MySQL limit or whatever he's dealing with. Right, right. All right. We got an email. I got to answer this because there's been a few people.

May as well take care of it now. So it's an issue. or on the question of archives for the show. It used to be the way I had it running was we had the most recent 200 episodes in the new feed, the feed that's the main feed. So when a new one goes on, one drops off. And those go to another feed that had thousands on it, which went all the way back to our first episode in 2011. And the idea there was, well, most people are going to want latest and then most recent archives,

200 feels generous. and then anything past that, they'd have this other feed, and they could get that too. They'd just have to go subscribe to it, and then they can get anything they want. And that was just kind of a way of managing bigger files. The RSS was getting kind of huge. Well, I have learned over time that there is a soft limit.

Call it a variable limit, because each of the players seem to handle it differently. But there's a bit of a limit to how big your RSS feed can be. I never really knew how big it could be. I've never really messed with it. Well, and it's not a matter of like, it's a matter of file size it's not a matter of how many elements on there it's a matter of like how much uh because i found this out i do a ton of stuff show note wise for coverville there's

like uh sung title album artist a picture of the album covered blah blah blah right and links to all that stuff on amazon iTunes band camp wherever it is so my show notes for just one show are pretty freaking huge, which means that after I get to about 50 episodes on my feed, it can break podcast clients. Yeah, some clients just fart, right? They just lose their mind.

They just fart. They just fart. They just throw up their hands and say, nope, this American life. Yeah, totally. And so similar problem except the 200 seem to be going fine and even the thousands seem to be going fine for a long time.

But then suddenly everybody's app started farting out last week like bad like crashing some would crash some would just wouldn't see it like overcast would just say i don't see anything here and it wouldn't display anything um i want to say downcast or something like that was crashing android's uh or uh oh google podcast app was having trouble um i don't know about apple apple podcast i think apple podcast was like skipping episodes like there'd be chunks missing so it's all weird now again didn't affect the new stuff that was all safe it was the old one this gigantic file with thousands of entries,

which it does have to parse, and I guess every player is different, and maybe they cache it or whatever, but they got to parse thousands of things every time you hit it. Exactly. And it's a nightmare. So I finally said,

you know what, we can't do that anymore. So now what we have is the most 200 recent, and then the most 200 recent after that is the backup feed. Everything beyond that is in this ever-ancient, forever ago file that I'm going to have to figure out how to organize. Maybe I'll break it all up into 200 chunks.

I don't know. Um, because I'd like to make it available for people, but at some point, it just becomes untenable and a nightmare to deal with. So, so I don't know how this is going to go. Yeah. I'd love to figure out a really easy way to make it so that, uh, for Coverville, I have a, an RSS feed that's all the 2004 and 2005 episodes of those of those. Those two, I can lump together. And then all the 2006 episodes and then all the 2000. So you've got basically an RSS feed for each of those and you just add it to your podcast client like,

coverville.com slash 2012. There's some way to make it easy that they could just add it or have a link on the page or whatever. Yeah, that would be really, really easy. Pops and McCrine says archive.org. The storage of the files isn't the problem.

We're not talking about the MP3s. Not an issue. We're talking about a single file. Thanks to cash fly, CAC, H-E-F-L-Y.com. We're talking about just the single RSS XML file and some of you are going to what the what I know it's all you know whatever it's our version of techno babble here on the show but but it's uh it's a thing and I'm dealing with it and I'll let you know but it's the two most recent 200 so 400 episodes from

current all the way back to the 400th behind us which I think is 2018 19 whatever it is uh that's all there it's on the site like it always has been and you don't have to change anything on your players and those who were having trouble with the archive feed probably noticed that this fixed itself but now you don't have access to 401 through you know 1,000 or 2000 whatever so I'm working on that I'm just letting you know it's all good this email from G which I didn't actually read um we never actually got to it yeah talked about the the point of the email which is probably fine it's fine yeah we kind of skipped over but basically the email is asking what's what's up with all this the August

2011 to February 2019 stuff is messed. That's why it's messed up. And if you're still subscribed to that, just know I've, I'll figure something out. Okay? I don't know what yet, but something. If you really want that old stuff, and I'm surprised how many do, I'll

get you hooked up, okay? All right. Finally. It's all hooked up. Hey, you know how yesterday? It came up randomly, but you said something about the chicken tastes like wood, and I said, oh, the best wraps on my bird and all that. what's the song it's not rappers delight i always mix it up it's uh bust a move isn't it

oh where the chicken tastes like woods from which one they're going to a party or you go to a wedding no no it's not chicken taste it's or it's not uh bust a move is it rappers delight is it rappers delight maybe i had it oh yeah it is sugar hill gang rappers delight okay so it is okay all right all right so we just talked about that yeah here check this out we talk about that and then last night uh about 10 i hear the neighbor we have the windows open because it's nice out and i hear the winder or the winder i hear the neighbor i hear that winder

um i hear the neighbor behind us putting his garbage cans away because our garbage day is on tuesdays and uh i hear him out there singing the rap the lyrics to rappers the light What? I said a hip hop. The hip hop and don't stop. And he actually got to the part where he said and the chicken tastes like wood and I couldn't freaking believe it. You couldn't believe it. Oh, that's awesome.

Yeah. So, well, I don't know if it was Tesla or who it was, but hats off to whoever had their headphones and listening to Rappers Delight, that was awesome. Nice. Nice. Did he, at any point, did he raise his hands in the air? Like he just didn't care? I couldn't tell. But if I had to guess, just before grabbing the garbage can by the sides and moving it,

he had his hands in the air where he didn't care. Just to show that he didn't care. That's what I think he did. Just to prove the fact that I don't care. Yeah, that he doesn't care. And, you know, he really doesn't care. All right, we're going to call that. No, it really doesn't.

He cares about the environment. That's the way it drives the Tesla. Yeah, they drive the Tesla. You know, nobody recycles styrofoam anymore. Where's all that going now, then? If the styrofoam, it can't be. In two landfills. More golf courses, like, we need more of those.

More places for Harrison Ford to land. Let's play this game. And that music means it's time to welcome our good pal, Brian Dunaway, back to the program. Hello, Brian. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Hi. Hey, are you in the mood for some Tad Pooley feud today? Nah, I don't guess so.

I think I'm just going to hang out instead. Of course I am. I'm always ready for some tadpooly feud. You're always down to clown. I mean, I noticed you were in the link way before I was even today. That's fantastic. Yeah,

I couldn't wait. You got in there like three days ago. You just been like checking every morning. And then Scott ruined it all by doing what parents usually do, which is like, it's like, I'm going to need you to take out the trash. I was fisting to do it.

I was just fisting to do it. Yeah, he was fisting to do it. Fix him. Oh, to do it. Fistin. I heard fisting, I heard fisting, Brian. You do you.

You do you. That's what you just said, right? No judgment. Why would you want to take it there, Ibitt? Fist away. Fist away, no judgment. We're saying. That's what we're saying.

All right. Do you get mad about that, though, as a kid? Do you remember being a kid and being mad about your parents? You're like, you're like, you're trying to plan your day. You know, you're going to watch your cartoons. You know, you've got to take out the trash. In about five minutes before you got to take out the trash, you're going to go, you're going to take out of that trash?

She's like, I was just about to do that, man. Yeah. Or Tina. Well, you take out the kitchen trash? Because the trash man is coming to my room. I didn't know she was eat it from... Maybe you can put out that big blind from the back patio. So why is she eat it from all in the family all of a sudden?

That's a dead on... That's exactly what she sounds like. That's a dead on impersonation. There is absolutely no embellishment whatsoever. Nope. That's her. I've heard it before. That was it.

It may as well have been her. Hey, I don't see. None of you have called in yet, which is weird. 801-471-0-462. Well, they heard about her fixing to do something. I don't understand why you're not calling. Yeah, we need a caller. So somebody call in and, uh, yeah, everyone called Tina.

That's a great idea. Oh, you're not going to believe what's got to. And Brian, sir? Yeah, no kidding. We have more cool stuff to give away. Oh, we do have a caller. I do. Okay.

Let's find out who this lucky caller is. Hi, who's this? Hi, it's Amy, Red Fraggle Hello, Red Fraggle Oh, we're always happy to have Amy call in That's great I'm not even sure

well i mean i stole it from deadpool so you know but i assume it's a deadpool joke oh is it really yeah yeah sounds like something he'd say uh well excellent amy murdered it in jackbox other day she's absolutely oh yeah no kidding yeah that was embarrassing for the rest of that you played that murder game thank you so much for that by the way i don't think i've ever done that well in that game ever it was super fun yeah it was great you did really well on it uh i know i can't i can't wait for the next play date so we can play more what the dub too geez that was a blast that game was great they're they're patching like crazy there was like two or three uh uh i don't know what it was in there but it seems like they're really active so i'm excited to play more of it

can we uh petition to have them i mean i didn't get butt kazoo as a prompt i mean you did get a butt kazoo yes that was a gnarly one butt kazoo that was a narly one butt kazoo That was, I mean, I was a drawing. Yeah, that's right. That was gnarly. I couldn't believe you got that. That was nuts. I could read how well you drew it.

Yeah. You were really good at drawing a butt kazoo. That's the problem. I can't get out of my head. Brian, we're going to play this game, but we can't do it without your tutelage on as to how it works. You need instructions because, by golly, you've all got the memory of a goldfish. It's time to play the tadpooly feud. I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics, and Scott and Brian are going to have to

predict the answers that they gave us. It's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Amy, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. If your team wins, you will get a prize package that includes a frog pants print pack and a signed piece of original art on TMS card stock. Right. And knowing that you just got a print pack, I will make sure that it's different. A different print pack.

Different print pack. Yeah. I don't want to double up on you there. That's right. All right, you guys ready? Yeah, I think so. Hands on buzzers or mice to click on the buzzer icon, whatever. Whatever, you do what you have to do.

We asked the Tadpool, 513 of them replied, top 10 answers on the board. What's your favorite buddy cop duo? Dang it. Scott, well, he's drinking even. Buddy cop duo. Buddy cop. No, that's, you got to be able to. No, I'm ready.

I got one. I didn't think about it for 20 minutes. I got it. Tango and Cash. Tango and Cash. Show me Tango and Cash. And cash or cash. Shit.

Gosh. By the way, that is just for reference. Number 11. Tango is really just out of the top 10 years. Brian, if you name any, any cop duo, Any cop duo So it doesn't do Do I need to name

The movie or do I need to name? You can name the duo I gave the Tadpool the option By either naming the duo Or the movie that they come from You're supposed to answer really fast, Brian You're supposed to answer Yeah but I didn't

But no no This is how we This is when you go back over to the table And make discussion No no I guess it's not You're right Okay I sorry I apologize

Okay so I'm going to go with I'm going to go with bad boys I'm going to go with Martin Lawrence and Will Smith That's right Otherwise known as Lowry and Burnett. There you go.

Yeah. Show me the bad boys. What are you going to do? Damn it. Number five on the list. But that means you and Amy have control. So let's see here. You're going to do play.

And that means that, all right, you guys are set to play. Woot. Control. Who's saying control? Jimmy's so, okay. Janet Jackson. What? In control.

Yeah, yeah. All right. So it's up to you. Amy and Brian, name your favorite, name the Tadpool's favorite buddy cop duo. Amy, I'm thinking lethal weapon. I mean, that's just the ultimate buddy cop being rigs. You know, come on. Yeah, but here's the thing.

I agree. Biggs and Murtaugh is, yeah. Are you nervous at all? Like, this is a perfectly fine answer and probably going to get it right. But I'm nervous after Tango and Cash because it's like, I feel like. That's a pretty good one. All of us Gen X. Gen X are freaking 80s movie love

feels like it's on trial here today a little bit with that one not making the top 10. I don't know. Anyway. All right. I'm a little surprised that one didn't come up. Yeah. Show me, I'm too old for this shit. Yes.

All right. I take it back. By the way, but it's not a bad idea to think like the tadpool, especially for this one. Since it was them that we asked. Let's put the words buddy and cop and duo in quotes.

Okay. Uh-oh. What does that mean? Just, you know, just have an open mind because the tadpool's going to tadpool. Okay. Oh, my. While they're conjuring their second answer, this can be TV as well. It's not just movies.

Oh, when I think about TV, that's interesting. Probably not. Movies, okay. Movie, so TV movie. Movies. Yes. Movies. Okay.

All right. Fair enough. Yeah. I don't want to say more to give anything away, but let's just say, everything on here is from a movie. Everything is from a movie, all of it? Every all 10. Okay.

Have been featured in a movie. Right. Have the actual exact characters been featured in a film. The actual exact cop duo characters. Is it even Scott's turn? Right now, I mean. Featured in a movie. Okay.

Maybe not the actors who have always played those characters. Well, my point is no one's going to say Grogu and freaking Mando. That's not going to happen. They're not really cops, are they? Actually, I guess they could. No, no, Mando and Grosu are not on here. But there are some. There would be one exception, even though these characters have been in movies.

Okay. I'm stopping there. All right. You're making this more complicated. This also might fit with the cop, in quotation marks. But anyway, you guys, please continue on. Well, okay, so it's our turn again.

I'm going to go, Amy, do you have anything off the top of your head? I got a couple of them in my head. There were my favorite movies for Buddy Cop movies. Yeah. Like, I think anything that had, like, sequels is probably going to be good, like Rush Hour with Jackie Chan. And what do you think about that? Is that kind of?

Yeah, I think rush hour is a great answer. Yeah, I agree. All right. Okay, you're going with that one? Going on rush hour, yeah. Can you hear the words coming out of my mouth? Yes, they can. Number two answer.

By the way, I'd like to applaud the two people in the survey who said rush hours starring Jackie Chan and Chris Rock. Oh, wow. That is hilarious. Gosh, dang it, dude. I hope they did that knowingly. Love you, love you both, love both of you. It's all anonymous.

I have no idea who you are, but well done. And then the next thing in my head. Ruby Rod, there you go. Right, exactly. All right. Okay, I have a couple of more than I'm thinking of, Amy. Do you have one in your head? Go for it.

Yeah, I have one that Brian actually made me think of this when he put the cop in quotation marks. What about Agent Jay and Agent K from Men and Black? Ooh, I like that answer. I think we should go with oh yeah yeah they're still buddy cups right and i i had i actually thought a different thing that i don't want to give one away in case we lose this one but i thought about yeah yeah i'm gonna go with amy too i'm gonna say that don't say m i b yeah m i b uh agents j and k show me oh yes what

number eight damn it i was sure that was wrong nice job scott was already preparing his answer. I was. I was ready to get in there. Yeah. I'm bummed about that. The thing that I was thinking about in the quotation marks, I was thinking Turner and Hooch. Oh, my Lord. Amy, do you think I'm being ridiculous or do you think that's tab foolish? You both like it. I like it that you like it. That's good.

All right. So is that where we're going to go? Or we have another one. We're going to choose. Oh, yeah. No, go on with Turner and Hooch. I think that's a great. I think Turner and Hooch is on there somewhere. somewhere, hopefully on the board. All right. Show me Turner and Hooch. Yeah, number three. Was that the quotes?

Third? I'm not saying if that was... You're not saying if that's quotes. All right, all right. Now, well, I can't hardly... I'm trying... Okay, and no Ibit's going to be down with this. We watched Running Scared this past year on film sack.

And that's just a... classic buddy cop movie but it was only a one you know it only happened that one time and we never got a running scared sadly yeah and uh but i think that's a good that one also really crystal and gregory hines yeah and now that gregory hines i'm not now that i mean he passed away a while ago but without gregory hines i don't think there's any chance of a of a of a reboot a sequel i guess the reboot they could do but a sequel they couldn't right or a spin-off what do you think about that amy think that's a good answer i mean i think i think you're right with a I'm a little nervous about there only being one of them.

I was thinking about, like, the Beverly Hills cop. Ooh, yeah, I didn't think about that, of course, Beverly Hills Cop. Eddie Murphy, yes. Yeah, but who's his buddy? Well, so you've got, you got Taggart and Rosewood. Oh, yeah. You know, or you got Axel Foley is like everybody's buddy. There you go.

I say, go for it. I think it's a better answer. All right. This one, Brian. Show me, Beverly Hills Cop with Taggart, Foley, Rosewood. Wood, something like that. All those people. Oh,

six. Are you kidding me? We are killing it. Yeah. Full disclosure, that was what I answered the survey with. Oh, really? Well, you and 13 other people answer the survey with that one. Damn it.

Did you do Foley and Rosewood or did you do Taggart and Rosewood? I said Taggart and Rosewood because I felt like they were actually the partners, you know. They were the partners, yeah. And I combined all the partners. Beverly Hills Cop pairs into this one. One person put Axel Foley and a cappuccino with a

lemon twist. Oh, that's perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Achmel. Oh, my gosh. That's right. Oh, wow. You've got a fan on here. Yeah, I was going to say. All right. All right. Well, five or four answers still on the board. You guys are doing really well. Okay, so

there's one. There's, okay, so there's a few movies that went from TV to movie, and they're classics. I mean, Crockett and Tubbs with Miami Vice. Oh. That's an amazing duo. And it's a movie. The movie is weird, but yeah, you're probably right. You think that's going to be on there?

What do you think? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. All right. All right. We're going with Mimi Weiss. Show me that Jan Hummer's sweet, sweet soundtrack. Oh, number 20 in the 20 in the West.

All right. My turn. Scott finally gets a turn. Yeah, that's still a chance. Let's see. If you run the board 19. Oh, yeah, you can totally, you can still totally win this. Oh, totally, Scott.

You got it. Run the boy. So we talk about die hard on the show a lot. So I'm going to guess. Tadpool figured out a way to put John McLean and Donut-Eaten cop together as but that's hilarious thank God is Friday night on ABC family matters right that guy uh it was uh Al no what was his name no he called him Al um I think you're right oh what's going on Al oh no you're right it was Al it was Al yeah I think it was Al yeah he had to kill the Amish guy at the end anyway what I think I say diet Hard. All right. Show me die hard. Youpeakee. M.R.F. Partner. Ow, partner. Are you kidding me? Let's see. People put die hard for that one. They didn't even try and put two names in there. And die hard was number 14 on the list. Son of a bug. Damn it. All right. Your turn again.

Right. I'm going to skip the other TV cops that I thought, I'm going to go with, what do you think about, um, What do you think about hot fuzz with Simon Pig? That movie's great. Oh, yeah, like that seems like a tadpooly answer. Yeah, I think so, too. I think you guys are good. It's only one, but it was part of a trilogy. That's right.

Part of that Coronado trilogy. Yeah, show me the hot fuzz, Angel and Butterman. Oh, man. Why did they think of that? All right, three answers still on the board. again, Scott? No, I think Scott's been mathematically eliminated. Have I? Have I?

Have I? Yeah. So you can potentially save face, or Brian can, Brian and Amy can run the board. Right. Now, I'm going to predict right now, they're not going to run the board. Probably not. I know, because I'm getting really low. I'm doing stuff like, what about that movie that was like Turnhooch with K-9 with Belushi? What about that one? I thought the same thing, yeah.

Right. And then I think, what about Oron Swartzenegger when he did kindergarten cop? I think that's a really good one. What was his partner's name, though? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Right. Didn't they make a movie like the Starsky and Hutch movie?

Oh, yeah, Starskin and Hutt. Another TV to movie, but sure. What do you think? Wow. Wow. Wow. Had him out. Yeah, I think we should go with Starskin Hutch.

I'm with Amy. I think maybe my advice was just, you know, know, out of people's minds, and I think Starsky and Hutch, you can't really think of that without Buddy Cop. That's like Buddy Cop TV 101, right? Right, right. All right. Show me. Wow. Wow. Look at that. Wow. What? Two more on here. Are you kidding me? Holy Moses. Jesus. Oh, man.

You got two, the ninth and the tenth, it looks like. You got the final two here. Yeah, the big. Do the big. pointers. I'm with you though, Brian. I'm running low. I'm way low, man. I am way low. I am struggling.

Everything I'm thinking of is like TV stuff. Buddy cops and weird stuff. You know, like, um... You like that weird stuff. Yeah. Wasn't there some movie with Queen Latifah and like she was like... We haven't even thought about that section of it. Yeah.

Yeah. What's his name? Tonight Show host. It was a Kevin Smith movie or something like that, right? Well, maybe it's not what I'm thinking of. I can't remember. You had what's his name. I know exactly what you're thinking of.

Jimmy Fallon and her were in a thing, but I don't know. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that one. Right. There you go. I don't know the name of it, though, so it's hard for me to that. Movie with Jimmy Fallon and Queen Look Deep. You can use that as your answer. Do you want to use it?

yeah why now let's use it let's do it I got nothing else Brian so it's called it's called taxi show me taxi with Jimmy Fell and Queen Latifah I just want to get your hopes up Scott face saving

let's do a thing that that is dumb but I'm doing it Mad Max and his dog from Road Warrior he's a cop Mad Max or what about the the gyro pilot? Oh.

He's not a cop, though. He's just a dork. Okay, well, all right. Well, oh, yeah, and the dingo is a cop. All right, sure. Show me Mad Max and just about anybody in his movie. Damn it. All right.

Well, you know, we set the counter. Right. I did. Do we still have one left? You have one more. You have one more strike left. Okay. Now, when you started talking about female-led buddy-cop movies,

so I was totally ignorant. I was totally forget. and I'm like, Kevin Hart's been in a lot of bloody cop movies, but he's never really, no, see, he is, but I was trying to dismiss it, and I was trying to get back. I'm just throwing stuff out right now, but Kevin Hart's been a couple things,

but I don't think she's been like a real cop. So I'm going back to the female leads. By the way, one person also did put Rush Hour starring Jackie Chan and Kevin Hart. That's hilarious. Really? Yes. Any Kevin Hart's movie,

I'd like to put that as my final answer? No. There was a movie with Sandra Bullock And Melissa McCarthy Well, that was a good movie I like it I can't remember Was it something like heat or something?

I think it was called heat or another movie No, it's called heat Anyway Or the heat or the heat The heat, okay What am I doing about that? Yeah, well I mean I don't know if it's gonna be right

That sounds good to me Yeah I mean Why not we're scraping the bottom of the barrel With the heat All right show me The heat what is it

Scott, redeem yourself Okay Name one of the other two items On the board here Batman and Robin Oh Great cops That's right

Detectus Well you know All right Show me Wonder duo Show me the bat The bat Number 9 or number 10

Oh no All right Another guess Can I do one more guess But that was the closest that you've, any of you have gotten to one of these. Oh, okay. So they were on there. Well, okay.

The only other guess I had would have been like, um, uh, no, I can't look at their names. The X-Files people. Well, let's say the X-Files movies. Oh, Molder and Sculley. Because they were TV, but they had two movies, so. Molder and Scully number 18 on the list, by the way. Oh, damn it. Uh, let's see number nine.

Falcon and Winter Soldier. Oh, really? People think that they're cops. Really? Okay. It works. And show me number 10. Was that the quotes?

It works. That was the quotes, yeah. Well, Turner and Huch, men in black, Beverly Hills cop and Falcon with a soldier, all were quotes. Yeah, there's a lot of quotes. This one does qualify, though. Show me number 10. The other guys.

Oh, man. Will Ferrell. I never saw that. Some other fun ones that people said, 21 Jump Street Chips Ponce and John Yeah Ponce and John

Hawaii 5O Zootopia Nick and Judy Oh 48 hours Cates and Hammond Benson and Stabler on SVU Cagney and Lacey

Joe Friday and Pep Strebeck from Dragnet What? We got like a 90 year old in the Well we have Andy Taylor and Barney Fife

Oh wow Wow That's awesome. Blues Brothers. Somebody just put Brooklyn 9-9, like the whole thing. Actually, I take it back. People put various, you know, a couple different Jake and Charles on Brooklyn. Jay Leno and Pat Marita, anyone know what that's in reference to?

Jay Leno, Pat Marita. Jay Leno and Pat Marita, were they ever... They were like a... There was a 10-speed and brown shoe or something, right? What was that? There's literally a common Google search that is, Jay Leno and Pat Marita movie because no one No one knows here. It's called Collision

Course. It came out in... Collision course. That's somebody's favorite Buddy Cop duo. Yeah. Obi-1 and Anakin, Star Wars Episode 2. They did play cops. Yeah. They played cops?

The Good Guys, Wax and Wayne and True Detective rounding out the... And were any of those Kevin Hart movies? I swear he feels... It feels like he's always in Buddy Cop movies. but he's not. A cop and a half? Was that?

No, no, that was a kid. What was that movie? Was it Get Hard? Somebody didn't say Fred and Ken, by the way. Fred and Ken, I love it. So we put that in there. They are awesome, whoever they were. I'll get them to prize.

That's great. Ride along? Was right along a... Ride along? I think that's what I'm thinking of. It's an Ice Cube and... I've never seen a single Kevin Hart movie. Does that make me bad?

Oh, my God. I love Kevin Hart movies. They're so charming. Cranston was really good. And I don't avoid... I'm not avoiding them. I just haven't gotten around to any of those. I don't know why.

I mean, he's not really my kind of comedian, but I hear he's great in these movies. I haven't seen those. Those, they're supposed to be wonderful. Those two, uh, uh, Jumanji. Jumanji thing. Oh, he's great. I love Jumanji. Yeah, I got to see that.

So, anyway. I don't have a thing. I don't really have anything personally against Kevin Hart. I just haven't gotten around to it. So I will definitely do that. Uh, well, all right. Hey, that means multiple winner. Amy Robinson walks away yet again triumphant

Don't use spray paint. The morning stream. Hit the road, buster. This is where you get off. All right, we returned. Brian, that song again. That song again was Indoor Garden Party from their album, the musical. The song is called From Here,

clear to the ocean. Very, very good. All right. Yeah. It is time for us to delve into the darker part of the internet. Yes, that is the technology. Accurate and, uh, and journalistic coverage of tech. Uh, it's pretty scary stuff. Will we get side shot or will it be front on Tom, full front of Tom today? What do we get to get? What are we going to get? I say, um, I'm going to say front. What do you say? You think front? I say, I say side Tom. Okay. Let's see what we get. Oh, full frontal Tom. Full frontal Tom. Partial.

Partial. The full Monty. Partial, Tom. Fair enough. With the computer as we've hit a much higher level. The concept and direction must come from the man. Yeah, that particular level on Patreon, it's a tricky one.

So watch out. It's gotten problematic. Yeah. But somebody other day sent me an email that said, I'm always confused when Tom talks about his free newsletter. I said, I'm like, what does this person mean? He went on to explain that he says, he thinks it sounds like it's a like a propaganda document to get you free to

free you for whatever yeah the free tom yes many people have made that joke have they is this not the first you heard this okay well somebody makes it every time uh it's brought up in the chat room already oh well fantastic yeah they uh this this person seemed i don't think that person was actually confused no i don't think so or concerned if you want my true opinion i think he maybe was and maybe they should be yeah maybe it's all i can't handsay. Maybe. Maybe.

Well, we're here to free Tom. Scott froze for you too, huh? Am I frozen? Can you guys not hear me? Oh, wow. Can they not hear me? They really don't want me to be free, I guess. Oh, I guess.

Well, they're trying to silence Tom again. Here, I'll disconnect and I'll come back and we'll see what happens. Okay. I don't know what happened here. Join call. All right. Did it work? Am I back?

Oh, there he's back. I have no idea what that was or what caused it. Oh, no. But Tom, I just did. You talked about the possibility of freeing me, and we all saw what happened. Yeah, that was weird. I did lose about 500. That was some amazing tech news.

I can't believe that's coming out. And that's going to be available just for today. com. It's not a plea to free me. Yeah, the chat room's reporting that we disappeared for a second as well. It must have been my internet. I don't know what that was. Anyway, but we're back.

It was a brief respite. A blip in the system. A blip in our week is Tom. Meryd comes on. Talks about tech. And we're going to do that today. What's going on in the tech world, Tom? Well, I guess one of the bigger stories out there this morning is the Facebook

Oversight Board ruling on Facebook's decision to suspend the account of President Donald Trump. And that decision, if you didn't hear it somehow, was that Facebook's decision to suspend in January was legitimate. The Oversight Board found that the decision was legitimate, but the indefinite term was not. They said we did not see a justification for making this an indefinite suspension. And they require Facebook to go back and justify the indefinite suspension or reduce the suspension and possibly reinstate the account. And they gave Facebook six months to do that, which is essentially kicking the ball way down the road.

I suppose that in six months or within the next six months, if they, Facebook makes a decision that could also be appealed back to the oversight board because the oversight board didn't dictate what that decision should be. They just said you need to have a better justification for it. We found the justification too vague. Now, this is the most prominent, certainly, of the board's actions thus far since it was established. But I assume there's been other stuff, right? Oh, yeah. There's been about a dozen others. Okay. One of the more noteworthy ones involved a suspension for hate speech from a user in Myanmar who was reinstated by the Oversight Board.

They said, yeah, that was not, that was offensive, but it wasn't hate speech. And so it doesn't fit your policy. You should reinstate that user. Yeah, there have been a dozen others. Most people don't care, sadly, about those individual decisions. They only care about the big names. And this is, like you said, the biggest name that's been done yet. Sure. And the concept of the whole thing from the very beginning struck me as difficult to not justify, because I think it is a justified. It's a, it's an idea that makes sense to me, although I don't know. You know, usually, usually you look at this sort of thing and say, well, a third party would be better, but in a lot of ways, they are third party.

Yeah, I think there's so much misunderstanding around the oversight board because Facebook set it up. And Facebook had to set it up. It's not like, Facebook could just sit around and wait for somebody to set one up and then say, yes, we'll do it, although that has also happened, but only after Facebook set its own up. There's an independent oversight board that criticizes the decisions of the oversight board. But the way they set it up, I think, is the best you could possibly do, which is create an endowment. So Facebook does fund this from the beginning, but the idea is that it will be able to get endowments from other places and fund itself. So Facebook is not on an ongoing basis giving it money. therefore that removes the pressure of Facebook cutting off the money right there's enough money in there to keep it going for a long time and the idea is to get money from other sources besides

facebook uh the the board members were unnominated by uh facebook to begin with uh but they were very transparent about that process uh they tried to pick people without conflicts and and by all accounts they've you know most people feel like they they picked very good members of this board they didn't and pick a bunch of their friends. And the board has been very critical of Facebook. And Facebook is bound by any decisions on its actions. So as in the case of the Myanmar situation, Facebook has agreed to say, if you say we reinstate the person, we reinstate them. There are also policy decisions by the oversight board where it can say, we think your policy is mistaken.

You may have applied it right, but we think the policy is mistaken. We think you should review that. Facebook is not bound to change its policy. The oversight board doesn't get to set policy. And I think that's the right way to do it. You don't want them at the mercy of somebody who's not involved in running things, but be able to seriously take those considerations. That's caused a lot of confusion because people say they're not even bound by the decisions.

It's like, well, they're not bound by policy decisions. They are bound by actual takedown or reinstatement decisions. So the idea, too, is that other companies could use this oversight board. We'll see if anybody ever does. But Facebook has encouraged other companies to say, yeah, if you want to get involved in this, you can start sending your decisions to be appealed by the Oversight Board as well. Okay. So it's all very super interesting to me.

Let's follow where my brain went, though, a little bit. Do we know what they physically look like? And I don't mean people and faces, but I mean like the actual structure of this. Very attractive. Is it a monol? No, I know what you mean. I'm sorry. Is it a room full of.

monolithic thrones. They're humans. Right. I said they're humans. But what is this place, this thing, is it all just Zoom calls? A cavern full of people with dark robes. Yeah. I don't think there is a place, Scott. Okay. All right. And I'm not joking around. Like, they probably meet virtually. Because these people are all over the world. Right. Oh, they are. I don't think there's a room they all go in with robes on and a gavel or anything like that. Right. It's just they convene probably on Zoom. I don't know for sure. some zoom or something like it uh and discuss uh their and do their debates uh all of their deliberations i believe are public uh so you can you can go and see all that stuff um oh i didn't know that that's cool i wouldn't mind seeing some of that just to yeah yeah discussions like okay interesting and you say it's worldwide so i assume a lot of different voices nationalities just yes yes uh and these are people who you know there's like former ministers of countries there's There's former, you know, this is definitely convincing me of something I was thinking, like, should I focus on the decision or the actual board when we talk about it on Daily Tech News show?

And I think a lot of people have these same questions that you have. So yeah, you've got a professor and chair of law at the University of Oklahoma, the chairholder of the UNESCO Freedom of Expression chair from Columbia. You have the vice chancellor and professor of law of India University, a professor of human rights in central Europe from Hungary. You have a founder of a digital rights foundation from Pakistan, a professor of law from Brazil, a professor of the National Chung Chi University in Taiwan, professor at the Columbia Law School here in the United States. Among others. There's others on there. See, that's pretty good. I'm actually glad to hear it. I mean, it's easy to, I guess I just say this in sort of close this thing off. It's easy for people to get really cynical and go, well, I hate Facebook. Therefore, through the lens of hating Facebook, I will hate everything associated with it and not

trust any of this process. But this to me feels like the 90s and video game companies saying, we don't want to be regulated. So what are we going to do about it? We need to come up with a reliable, trustworthy system of games classification so that we can be the ones that inform parents and others, violence, you know, sex and drugs, whatever, are in these games, so that we don't have that forced on us. We get to call the shots, but it's also going to be independent and not us making the decisions about whether something's got offensive material in or not, but we're going to make sure it happens. This feels like that. And in that, if you look at it through that particular lens, love Facebook or hate Facebook, I prefer that. I would, I would rather these

companies do more to take responsibility for this sort of stuff before somebody who comes in without the expertise or without the knowledge or whatever else they're missing, they come in and try to, you know, blunt force it. I prefer this. So. Yeah. And I think this is definitely an attempt to fend off potential regulation in multiple regions by by showing that they're doing something that is quasi-governmental.

But also, I think it's something that no government would. do in a lot of situations. I don't think a government would set up an oversight board like this. The government may may set policies about what you can and can't remove, but Facebook would be left to interpret the law itself. And so I think what Facebook's trying to do is say, if you don't need new laws, we're going to create a system of our own to avoid not only needing new laws, but to make the decisions a little more independent. Right, right. Well, that's really interesting stuff. And that will be discussed at length today on the Daily Tech News show, along with a slew of other topics. So tune in for that at 2.30

Mountain Time. Tom Merritt, is there anything else going on? Like, I don't know, a newsletter to help for you or anything else you'd like to mention. I mean, should I just change it? Like, it's the English language that's the problem here. Maybe I should turn it into a different language. So it's clear.

No, I like it. You keep it and the double meaning just makes more eyeballs find it. Just change it to like the release Tom. Yeah. Free newsletter de Tom. I'll just mix, I'll mix languages. Freetown newsletter.com, though, for those not confused, it's a newsletter where I talk about stuff I do every week.

So it's got links to all the shows that I'm on, but it has a little bit of a write-up every week of what I've been up to. Some of its personal life stuff, some of its work stuff, and explanations of particular things that I've done on the various shows that I really enjoy. there's always a link to America's Next Top podcaster in there. You know? I want that conveniently in your inbox. And the fun part is people can reply to it. So I've had some great conversations with folks who reply to the newsletter.

It goes right into my email inbox and then I can reply back to you. That's perfect. I can't think of a better use of your time right now than going to freetomnewletter.com and signing up if you haven't already. It's the only way I can get free. Tom Merritt, everybody, Ace Detect on Twitter. We'll see you later today. Bye.

Okay. he goes there he goes there he goes again there he goes again there he goes again i love that song let me just say that out loud i like that song the laws oh is that who that is i guess i don't love it so much they did one of the they did one of the two popular versions of it that's a song that's actually had two popular um no maybe even three two popular versions of it but also six puns down the richer car ridded it as well oh yeah that's the one i I think I like the most, actually. Yeah.

Because I like them. Sure. Those are, that, I like that lady's voice. And I hope she's a little. Radley's also did a very, I think Boo Radley's did the cover that you've probably heard in movies and stuff. So I married an axe murderer.

Yeah. I hope they have more money than sixpence now. Hey, that's streaming on Hulu. Yeah, it is. Is it really? Woo! Woman. Whoa, man. Whoa, man. Hey, look, speaking of women. My sweet Nicole.

Hey, look who it is. It's Nicole Spagg joining us from Colorado. Hi. I don't know why I said it that way. Baddy? Hello. I was doing last week. No, you're fine.

How did that go? Was it a quick day or two? How'd that go for you after your second shot? Yeah, the next day I was, next day I woke up, totally fine. Yeah. I took some night cool. And that is, for me, that was the key. Because I was having a hard time sleeping.

I was fever dreaming, I guess. Oh, good, fun. That's, she'll come on the show for that. Yeah, love fever dreams. They're the best. So Mark, so Mark told me the few things that he remembered me saying. He said, I said, all right, all right, all right. No way.

And then apparently I said the F word. And then I got very subconscious about it and then said fudge, fudge, fudge. Nice. It's like playing all of duty with you. That's what you get right there. Oh, that's awesome. That's great. I love it.

Speaking in your dreams. I actually, yeah. I definitely woke myself up a few times talking in my sleep. I'm glad that overall that you're doing fine. And by the way, here in Utah, they call NyQuil Mormon whiskey. That's a thing that people. like to call it. I hear the words you want to bleep when you're talking in your sleep.

Ah, look at you over there with a song. I was trying to come up with something from Matthew McConaughey, but I couldn't, but that one came out. I'm impressed regardless. Anyway, hey, let's get into it. We're going to do these recommendals. Now, I think I already know what Nicole's is, and I'm going to agree with her when she recommends it. But we'll get to that in a minute.

We'll leave that suspense hanging in the air while we start with Brian, as we often do. Brian, you want to set these clips up at all before we do? Both of them are movies. Both of them are brand new. And one of them was even a best documentary feature nominee. Nice. And I think that's the first one we're going to hear, as a matter of fact. Last one you did the winner this week, one of the other nominees.

One of the losers. That's one way to look at it. Sure. All right. Here it is. Number one. Sweet. This question of Mercury. This clip comes with 80-90 years. Sweet. This clip comes with subtitles, everybody. It does, yeah. I decided I would just do like a 20-second clip just so you can hear.

But that's Chile, you're hearing people speaking Spanish from Chile, but it is a subtitled movie. It is called The Mole Agent, and this is a documentary where a private investigator is hired by a family to put an elderly man, an 80-year-old man or 83-old man, into an undercover position in a nursing home. okay and because they want to check on like see if there is abuse or mistreatment or things like that that's going on now you're thinking oh my god brian this sounds like a real downer and there might be a couple a couple bits of that very very quick and slight downer bits the rest of it is surprising comedy from this 85 year old guy who they've outfitted with glasses video camera glasses a pen with a built-in video video camera in it and trying to teach him how to use FaceTime to be able to give his reports. And he's still an 80-year-old man that does not know how to use technology and is bumbling his way around a nursing home. Wow. Wow. It is, it is both sweet and poignant and all while being hilarious.

And it's really, it's really, really clever. Like, it's really, it's funny. it's heartwarming. Again, you hear the description of like, all right, a guy goes undercover to go, you know, into a nursing home to look for issues. You think it's not going to be as funny as it is, but it's, it's not like uproarious comedy,

but it's got a lot of heart and it's got some really funny bits. But all subtitled, right? No English. All subtitled or else I would have played. The only part that's not subtitled is he sings along to only you by the drifters. Oh, great.

Great. That's great. The international language of love, the drifter's song. The drifters, exactly. But the main guy, boy, can't find his name. The mole man. Sergio, well, Sergio is the guy's name, the main guy who's in this thing. Oh, yeah, there it is. Sergio Chami or have you said.

There you go. Yep. But it's really good. It's on Hulu. and it is it's a quick watch I think it's like an hour and a half but it's

it's a lot more enjoyable than you think it is based on just hearing the description of it so take my word for it that this thing belonged in the best best documentary category

yeah no I'm excited I love it sounds like a real bumper crop of docs this year yeah boy for for such a crappy Oscars episode There were so many good movies that came from this that you need to watch. They're really, really good.

I'd still say, you know, go with the octopus before you go with the mole. But, uh, I did not like my octopus teacher. Get out of here. Really? Really? Did your heart fall out? I was boring. I, no, I just thought it was boring.

I'm sure. Maybe it got better, but I was like, I'm bored. Oh, really? How far into it did you get? I don't know, half an hour into it. Oh, yeah. That's early. Wow.

I mean, I get it. No, that's fine. You know, everybody's not going to like everything, but, you know, people without a soul will hate that movie. But I've heard people rave about it. People without a soul. I love you. I still haven't seen it. I still haven't watched it.

I'm sure I'm going to like it, but I still haven't seen it either. Anyway, so watch this one as well. Watch the octopus teacher and then the mole agent. Maybe you'll like the mole agent better, Nicole. Oh, she loves subtitles. She's a huge fan, right, Nicole? Didn't you tell me that once? I think you hate them, right?

Don't you hate them? Oh. I thought you told me that. No, I mean, I'm okay. I'm okay with subtitles. Subtitles are weird because when I first start watching a movie with subtitles, it's very, it's very obvious. Yeah, right.

It kind of pulls me out of the movie. The more I'm in it, it takes time to get to used to. Easier it gets. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. All right. Here is your second clip, Brian.

Let's go to my second one, yes. This is going to play, I hope. Here we go. He got you in the face. Yeah, I know, Mark. He got me in the face. Never going to find that key. What if your whole life was like that?

What, will you die and respond? Yeah. I like you go to bed. When you wake up, it's the same day all over again. Just on repeat. What would you do? Besides this? We're an addition.

You know? Switch it up a little Wait, wasn't that a movie where Bill Murray Stuck in his same day Till he has sex with his hot boss? Groundhog Day Then that's it right there Girls

Who wouldn't, I don't know, tie a bunch of balloons to a lawn chair or something? Dude, no, I'd definitely take the girl. Okay, forget that. You could be a force for good. Like Batman? Yeah, like Batman. But are we talking Dark Night Batman

or Van Affleck Batman? Dude, an animated series, obviously. No, I'd still take the girl. I felt like it would ultimately be more satisfied. Right. But it might be harder than you think. No idea. No idea.

It's not Palm Springs. It's not Palm Springs. That stream of consciousness pop culture referenceathon is the map of tiny perfect things. And maybe we could finally be done with naming movies and TV shows, tiny, perfect, little precious, you know, maybe we can be done with that. However, this is really cool. That guy you're hearing, if he sounds familiar, if you've seen the path with Aaron, um, um, science, bitch. What's his name? Aaron. All I can think of is Aaron Paul and it's not Aaron Paul. I'm doing a, oh my God. Shit. Yeah, anyway. Anyway, is it Aaron Paul? Why am I thinking that's not right? Wait, Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad? Yeah, Aaron Paul. Okay, it is Aaron Paul. from Breaking Bad. All right. Anyway,

he plays his son on the path, that show about the cult. Oh, right. That was cool. I liked that show. That was a really good show. I don't know why.

Okay, Aaron Paul was just not sounding right to me. Anyway, but that's Kyle Allen, who played Aaron Paul's son in the path. Catherine Newton plays a pseudo love interest, but basically it's the story of this kid who is a teenage boy, who's already into the time loop,

kind of like Andy Sandberg in Palm Springs, you're coming into this with this person already in the time loop and already kind of mastered it. And he's figuring out that there might be somebody else in this time loop that has kind of been operating from a distance that he didn't know about until recently. kind of like Russian dolls. Kind of like Russian dolls, right? How there's a second person or even Palm Springs where Christine

Melody joins Andy Sandberg in the time loop and they have fun with it. But he pulls her in with Russian doll. It's like she didn't know there was somebody. There was somebody else in there. Yep. Anyway, it's about figuring out all of these. You know, he goes around and he figures out, oh, this person spills a sandwich on the ground at 418 and this person does this and and he goes around he figures out

how help people during this repeated over and over a day but then he also finds these moments of like weird synchronicity and bliss like this cloud that all of a sudden for one brief moment looks like a question mark or this uh this eagle swooping down and grabbing a fish out of the lake et cetera. And so they make this map of tiny perfect things, which is the name of the movie. Streaming on Amazon Prime. That's the name of the movie.

And they go around and kind of figure out the placement of all these tiny perfect things. It's really sweet. It is really well acted and it feels like this could be like a little young it's basically the teen

version of Groundhog Day and it's not. It's so much, it's a lot better than that. um it's really well acted these two main characters are both really good at this and uh it is uh on amazon prime the map of tiny perfect thing science fiction romantic comedy drama for you i was gonna say what the combo of uh jean quite the combo yes i saw that up on they were recommending it to me and i just i had not i had no idea what to make of it but i'm glad you look at it and it just looks like some it looks like the shape of our stars or the the path of our cancers or whatever, you know, stuff like that.

There was a whole list of cancers. Was it, was, didn't they have, didn't the girl have cancer? Yeah, but it was called there's the path. What was it now? Paper dolls. The shape of our, the shape of our, no, paper, town. The fault in our stars. The fault in our stars.

The paper and our stars. The tiny perfect map of our stars with cancer is what that movie is called. Anyway, even though whatever it is about the font and the title and the way they're looking at each other and the little recommended, you should check this out, Box and Amazon Prime made me want to stay away from it. It was actually seeing some reviews about this, that it was really good that made me want to check it out. And I'm glad I did. Tina and I both really enjoyed it. A good watch it with Kim, watch it with Mark, kind of. I don't want to hang out with Mark.

Oh, no, no. He's saying I'll hang out with Mark. Mark, you hang out with him. We got this all work out. That's right, exactly. We'll do a little, we'll do a little swap in the traditional sense, yeah. Clearly, Mark is going to be too busy researching what, what this Matthew McConaughey's situation has going on in his house. I can tell you right now, he would have no interest in this movie.

Oh, really? I know, I know the movies that he wants to watch. And this isn't it? This is not one of them. Mortal combat. That's awesome. No, I don't even know if he would be an immortal. combat. He really liked nobody.

I got him to watch that. Oh, nobody's awesome. Yeah. I love that. That was my recommendal last week, right? It was. Was it? Yeah. Okay. I'll note that. I'll just note that because that's I'm freaking loved it. It was stupid great. Really good. I mean, yeah. The gore. I mean. That's what I love. It's what I want. I know, but just bring it. I want people hitting each other for two hours. I want gore. I want blood. I want stuff blowing up. I want your hand blown off. That's what I want.

It's crazy. Sometimes I need it. It was a good movie, though. All right. Let's, I'm going to play a clip for mine. This is a single entry this week, and it's a movie, and it just showed up on Amazon Prime. I was also on Prime this week. So, I meant to see it when it actually came out.

It was one of the first movies that I can remember during the pandemic that actually still came out in theaters. So that may give you a hint. Enjoy. Morning. I don't even get a courtesy top first. Roll up your window. It's not working.

You know what a courtesy tap is, young man? Just ignore him. Sounds like this. It's light. It's friendly. Just like you're trying to get somebody's attention. I'm sure that's what your mom meant. Is that right, ma'am?

Is it right, ma'am? It's a courtesy tap what you meant? No, it's not. why is that all right i know what this is this is that rustle crow uh road rage movie yes it's uh i'm gonna go and tell you right now this is not for anyone who is squeamish about road rage sorts of things if those if that if the concept of somebody flip it out because you cut them off or whatever and then they just cannot stop and they relentlessly follow you and all that kind of stuff, if that puts you in like a super high anxiety state, avoid this movie like

the plague. I will say this, though. Shouldn't have cut me off. If you want, if you want just a, what I think is a basically a horror movie, then this is a good horror movie with a lot of problems that come with horror movies. It's not perfect by any stretch, but this is a movie where Russell Crow plays a guy called man. He doesn't have an actual name.

there's some other people in this thing. Let me pull it up here real quick. What's the name of the movie? Sorry, unhinged. Sorry, I meant to say it. Unhinged. Unhinged. Unhinged.

This is a movie directed by Dick Bortt, or Bortez, probably is it. I watch all of his stuff. Sorry, Derek Bort. It's not Dick. Russell Crow, Karen Pistorius, who is, I think, from... Woman. She's from New Zealand.

She's very good. in this. And then her son played by this kid named Gabriel Bateman. They're good actors. Everybody in this is pretty good. For the most part, you're not going to recognize anybody else aside from Russell Crow. But the concept is she tries to get past somebody who just seems to be not moving and the lights change and they're still not moving. And it turns out it's Russell Crow. And she goes around him and then gets mad and honks and yells at him. Then he pulls up and does that whole thing about courtesy tap and why do you get me one and she basically has an opportunity in that scene to apologize and she just refuses to do it and because she refuses yeah because you refuses to do it he decides this is how he's going out yeah not only that he's going to go out this is his way out of life he's he's going to end it all and we don't really know why oh geez we know that something bad happened the night before because there's some like stuff at the beginning but we don't know what has set this dude off we just know that he is just

hell-bent on making it hell for everybody he comes in contact with. It's basically, it's basically like a stalker horror movie on the highway. It's kind of what it is. And like I said, a movie called The Hitcher. There is a movie like, yes, except that's more like serial killer pretending to be hitching rides. It's a little bit different.

This guy's in a truck. It doesn't care who he kills. Right. But it's got, you know, all the, it's just got a lot of horror moments that reminded me of just like a structured horror movie but done in this way you like it doesn't have you'd think by looking at oh it wants to

say a bunch of stuff about society and how short-fused we are and how we're all ready to pop at any minute and all that you kind of but not they don't really have a message just to tell or if they did they didn't tell it they basically just told me a horror movie and for that i'm kind of glad i didn't need more let's get into the psyche of a really pissed off angry white guy whose wife cheated on him i don't need more of that because we have enough of those in real life and they shoot up schools and I'm not interested in I'm more interested in seeing those people stopped. But this was

more like, I don't know, there was kind of a good old fashion horror movie quality to it and I enjoyed it and the reason I picked this one this week is because Nicole took the one I really wanted to do and she's gonna be 100% right about how much she loves it but if you're just looking for the flip side of the coin, something

a little dark, something a little you know horror movie ish, you could do a lot worse than unhinged. fine. When was the last time you used your horn? Yesterday, actually. Because a guy, yes, there was a guy in front of us who was probably looking at his phone

and his head was down and we were trying to get Carter somewhere. But we did the thing in this movie they called a courtesy tab. So I just went, beep beep, beep. And he went, oh, he put his head up, waved at me and then kept going. So it was fun. Isn't it funny? I did the same thing Monday. I had to do that to somebody. But isn't it funny how whenever you do that, the person you hunked at drives really fast.

Like they're making up for the time that they caused you. Yeah. Yeah, they kind of do. Which is, you know, 99% of the time, movies have a way of making us think it's worse than it is. But 99% of the time, it's all fine. He just didn't see the light. And he waved to say, oh, sorry, and whatever.

If you pull in somewhere you didn't mean to, you don't have somebody screaming at you. Usually they're just like kind of waving and cringing like, oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it. Like, that's most of it. life. This movie assumes that everyone is on this close of an edge to pop any second. And Russell Crow decided. I had to use in the last two weeks, my horn, not courtesy tap, like hitting it hard. Oh, God. Hard. Yeah. What was it for? What happened? The first time, the woman, she didn't know how to drive. She thought she was going to go through the light.

She thought she was going to go through the light, clearly was not going to make it through the light. It was in a down time. That was the actual sound. There it is. Well done. And he decided, I better not go, but I'm now halfway in the road. So she backs up. And I was keeping my distance, so I allowed her to back up.

She did not go into drive. She was still in reverse. We're sitting there. I'm like, she is one. Oh, geez. You can see her white light's still on. Yes. So the light turns green.

She continues and I'm like, no, don't fucking. Oh, my God, did you not think to take yourself out of reverse. Yeah. It was a great George Carlin bit about exactly that. But you didn't follow her and then kill eight people on the way while you were doing it, right? No. Okay. Well, then you're no man from unhinged is what you're not.

That's good. A week later, the same thing happened to me, the exact same thing happened to me. me. And it was a FedEx truck. So he really couldn't see me. But for whatever reason, we're sitting at this light. He's not in reverse. But as soon as the light turns green, he goes into reverse. And I'm like, oh my God. I'm like, blaring my horn. It was. Wow. I don't know what it is in the water, but I'm staying off the road. Yeah, roads are, people are weird. This is, here's a reenactment of Nicole's experience with the FedEx guy. Here. There you go. That's exactly.

That's exactly. I'm freaking out. But yeah, like, again, this movie is not going to be, it's, this is not a, hey, want to feel good? Go watch this. That's not what this is. If you want to just. I have a feel good. I actually have two.

Oh, good. You probably already recommended this one, but I'm just now watching it. Okay. So I'm going to recommend it. See what you go. Oh, yeah, yeah. We have done this. Oh, yeah.

I was probably not there. Yep. I think I did this one a couple of weeks. ago, but, uh, or a few weeks ago, but don't let me stop you. Do you think this is feel good? No, no, no. I didn't say this was feel good. Oh, okay.

Sorry. The second one's going to be feeling good. Oh, this is the trailer. Not be off, Todd. I think Amber's been pretty clear about how she feels. I'm nothing like my dad. I want to be just like you. I've fought to keep this planet safe.

Your power's got to be due. day now, son. Morning. I'm scared, Dad. What if I can't do this? Invincible. Invincible. That's Minari, isn't it?

It's Minari. Yeah, it's Minari with Stephen Yun. You're right. It's Minari. Sorry, Stephen Youon plays Invincible. That's why Brian's making the comparison. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. Go ahead.

Nicole is a little confused about. that what you were saying. I'm like, I don't know. So Mark read these comics years and years ago. In fact, we have all of them downstairs. I started watching it the other night because I really enjoyed the boys. Yeah, me too. Oh my God, I love the boys. Yeah. Definitely in that vein. This is a, it is a similar. It is totally in that. In fact, I was, the first episode, I was like, did I totally get this wrong? Like, I was like, did I not? I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was. I was. I was. I. I was. I was. I. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I I'm expecting the boy, kind of the boy's vibe. And the first part of the episode didn't give me that. It was like, I was like, oh, we're just going to go into. It's very traditional, right? Very traditional hero stuff. It's all like, and then you get to that, the scene and season episode one.

Well, here's what's crazy. I was watching it. And right before I got to that scene, Mark came in to go to bed. And it's usually around 1130. I'm like, well, I'll just finish it tomorrow. I am so glad I did because I would. have been up all night. Oh, my God.

I started it the next day. I'm like, oh, my God. I'm so glad I turned this off right before bed. So I'm really enjoying it. I'm only on episode three, but they have finished the season from what I understand. They have and they really came out this last weekend. They really crank through the story too. The season covers so much of those volumes, which I'm fine with.

They really compress stuff and it doesn't feel bad or anything. But for anyone who's read the comic, This thing got through, I don't know, volume three in the first six episodes or something. It's fast. But it's good. It's good. It's good. It's good.

It's a little bit. Yeah, that shows cool. Seconded and thirded by Brian. We all like it. Yeah. So, of course, you know, Mateo, I was watching a little bit of it. I watch them without, they can't be in the room. And so Mateo peeks in.

He goes, what you watch? I'm like, nothing for you. But it looks like a cartoon, mom. Exactly. right? Yeah. So instead, we watched my second Recommmental, which, why is it not copying? I don't know. This is a mystery wrapped in a riddle. There we go. There we go. I'm sending it to you. That's the clip I picked.

We watched this the other night and I loved it. It's so good, dude. Here you go. We'll play it. I never fitted. Her lots of reasons But movies were always there for me All right, Erin, you're 58 years old You're a hardened criminal And you got nothing to lose

Go Oh no, it's dog cop I'm here to bust criminals And lick my own butt And I'm all out of criminals I poured everything I had Into getting into film school in L.A. So after watching the FX-Dop saga and 84 of my finest short films,

I'm sure the California College of Film would love to accept Katie Mitchell. To film school. To film school. The posies. Oh, it's so good. It's so good. You guys, the Mitchells versus the machines. This is the name of the movie.

This is a Netflix came out on Friday. I was like, hey, kids, let's watch this. This looks really good. I think I laugh more than the kids. kiss because it's probably one of my favorite movies, animated movies in a very long time. It was so innovative. I love the use of emojis and very relevant to today. I just absolutely.

This is an important point, and I don't mean to interrupt, but that is one of the things I really loved about it too, but it didn't do it in this coin sort of wink, wink, hey, the internet, right? like it didn't do that it it felt authentic totally and that's hard to freaking do and that's cool it's a bunch of these you know aging gen xer filmmakers that that somehow definitely did it it's also a lord and miller production so these guys are you know that's why it kind of it felt a little like the lego movie and lego batman it kind of had some of that quality to it yeah also the studio involved and some of the other people did spiderverse and there's some of that in there where you know there's a lot of words that pop up on screen and comic book kind of things. Fourth wall breaking

stuff. I think that's really hard to do and this movie does it so well. It's so good. The star of the show for me is the dog pig loaf. And pig loaf dog. It kind of reminds me of our dog

dog, Douggy. So the kids, every time the dog was involved it was like, it's Dougie. Just like Dougie, yeah. You did a TikTok the other day you were throwing meat at the dog or whatever, James trying to catch it. It was all I could think of was,

oh my gosh, they own the dog from that movie. That's just insane. And by the way, yeah, I know. I look like the dad. Quit telling me, everybody. I get it. I look back to dad.

I don't think like the dad, but I look a lot like him. Okay, I get it. Stop sending me ear emails. It's so wonderful. Isn't it great? Oh, my gosh, that's good. If it doesn't win every animated feature thing next year,

then we're doing this wrong because it's one of those things that already it feels like whatever. whatever Pixar does, I'm sure will be great, but maybe this one time, could we just, or I guess, this fourth time, can we give it to somebody else? So there is, there, there's a concept in the movie, though, that my brain took it further than I probably should have. When, when, uh, when the humans go on the pods. Oh, yeah. Like, all I kept thinking was, where's the bathroom? I do this too.

I get there's a little claustrophobia with that concept yeah I actually thought of Brian because he's not much on closed spaces either right Brian no I'm very claustrophobic so when you see this you'll there's this pod thing that you'll see that the movie takes kind of lightly but my first thought was like oh I don't want to be in that tight little space really okay yeah yeah yeah my see I go the next step too much invincible too much yeah like no this is like lighthearted, fun, cute. There's a giant Furby. It's so fun. The whole Furby scene is amazing. Oh, yeah. That's the, I think that's a clip I've seen from this. So, oh, that's so good. I'm adding it to my list right now. What's great about is the movie is mostly fake stuff,

like, uh, not, not mostly, but there's, there's, you know, it's not like real toys or real whatever, but these are like legit Furbys. And Furbies are creepy. And they even use like the voices of these real Furbys. It's, uh, it's weird. Have you seen the long Furby's? Uh, Kim Price made. It's like a Furby and it's like a worm. I don't understand it. Oh, look at this. I just did a quick Google search. Who's ideas this? This is insane. Oh, wow. Set up Furby. What? That's disturbing. Isn't it? Why? It's so disturbing. I don't understand it. This. That's amazing. Okay. Well, learn something every day. I've deskinned my Furby. So did you do that really. It gets just skinned it. You have them handy? I want to see him. Uh, yeah, he's around the corner. Give me five seconds. Yeah, go grab him. I want to see this. It's so creepy.

But the, uh, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, I don't know. I was that if you watch the trailer, don't. It, like, summarizes the whole movie in the trailer. Just watch it. Yeah, just watch it. Just watch it. It's a Netflix original. This would have been in theaters had things been normal.

Oh, look at that, dude. That's freaky, Brian. How'd you know to do that or why? Oh, my gosh, dude. How did you know to make him naked? Was this like a project or what? Yeah, I guess, I mean, it really just kind of cut the cloth around his body and then that's all I think I prefer it I think I prefer it that's weird yeah I kind of do too actually this thing's full of Furbys and uh it's pretty

this one won't shut up now for the next half hour yeah but I loved like there were some really good subtle satiric pokes at everybody from Apple to Google to Facebook to the tech world in general and they did it in a way that was, again, it felt earned and authentic and not cheap. Yeah. Like, it's just, and but at the end of the day, every good animated film has a aspect of something to do with family in it, even when there's an orphan or even whenever it's about what you,

you know, what family you have and where you have. It's human connection. Yes. And this movie is all about that. And even when it gets ridiculous, that holds it together. And the ridiculous works somehow,

all those two extra robots. They were played by Fred Armisen and. Oh, I love the robots. Yeah, they were great. Debbie, Debbie, the robot. And what was the other one they called it? I don't remember what they called it. That was great.

Eric? Those Eric, yeah, Eric and Debra. Eric and Eric and Eric. And then they had the, they had the, um, the phone. I don't want to give anything away. But the, the, the, the, Olivia Coleman is a freaking gem in this. She's amazing. It's just so good.

And he's bound and down. is perfect for the dad. I would have never even called it, but he's a great voice for the dad. I can't think of his name, though. Who played, who was on East Bound and Down? Brian, help me.

Oh, the curly hair guy. Yes, I had his name yesterday and it's blanked in today. Oh, damn it. You got to look at the chat room

for this one. Danny McBride. He's the dad and he's great. The curly head guy. Maya Rudolph's the mom. She's great, as always. She's wonderful.

I loved her action scene. The kids were great. great. The son, the boy, they went with like this guy's normal, like adult man voice. And for some reason, it works. It's like actually funny. It's just great. I couldn't say enough about it. When I heard Nicole was going to recommend it. I was like, all right, I'm doing, I'm doing unhinged so that I can end on this happy note. Because my yucky, my yucky. They take that song and they. My kids love this song now. Yeah. It's really great. Anyway, stop what you're doing and go watch. Mitchell versus the machines. It's very good. All right. Oh, and they, I like that they, they, so they, they just sneak it in there, but I liked how they did it, that, uh, the girl, the daughter's gay.

She's a lesbian. I don't know if you noticed this. But at the end, they say, uh, you're going to bring your new girlfriend home to see us. Oh, yeah. I'm, she's, she's dating the girl. She met at college. And they just don't even, they don't make a big deal out of it. They're just like, yeah.

There's just who she is. You know, which I liked. I liked that. me too yeah anyway go see it it's fantastic someone heard me say that now they're not going to see it but that's their problem anyway uh that's it uh Nicole these are great and here's the thing if we if you guys want to know what we talked about sometimes you forget while we're talking about it right because guess what I look there's my stick there's my note there's her note her sticky note and an actual pen and ink and pen and paper right there oh my lord it's insane how careful she is so anyway

If you want to follow her on Twitter, she's at Nicole Spagg. She'll put all that stuff up. We'll retweet it on our account and you'll be in the know. Nicole, thanks for hanging out with us. Have a great week. See Nicole. Bye now. She got less choppy as the column went on.

She started out very choppy. Yeah. She's not choppy now. Not at all. Yeah. And this thing is still talking. Those things are never shut up. Yeah.

All right. That's the show. You have all heard it. So proof in the pudding. We're done. Except a quick email from Joel. who sent an email to The Morningstream at gmail.com. We love your emails. Keep them coming.

He says, Brian and Scott, y'all crack me up when you talk about typography and comic sands on TMS. You should watch the Teen Titans Go episode, Season 6, episode 52, that just aired called Zimdings. They hit on much of what you said in their hilarious way. Thanks for the show, Joel. So apparently there's like a whole typography episode of Teen Titans Go, which is a way better kids. show, then it should be. It's very good. It's right. It is. Yeah. Tristan used to watch all the time, and I had no

problem sitting there and watching it with them. Yeah. Like, there are jokes in there that only you got because they know that some adults are watching, and it's also just, it's just great. So, I'm going to go check that out. I'm all about making fun of comic sands. Yeah, comic sands, and probably

papyrus or papyrus. Pirus is probably in there, too. Yep. Get that, get that shit off of your, your, what was the movie that used it? Avatar. God dang it. As soon as that came up at the end, I went, you've ruined it.

Yeah. Ruin it, James Cameron. What are you thinking? He's probably making out with what's her name. Anyway, so there you go. Thanks, Joel, and anyone else have any thoughts, feelings, stuff you want to recommend, comments about the show. We don't care.

all right that's it brian speaking about let's play a song where do you want to play what do you got oh fine if i have to know uh this i shouldn't set this one up with comedy because it begins kind of sad matt homer wrote in and said hello guys i've been a long time listener and patron you guys helped promote my wife's art uh a hdesigns dot art last year to help her after losing her job from covid i can't thank you enough for all the amazing laughs you've provided in the past several years. The past month, the laughs have been even more appreciated as my mother, Martha, who is 67, passed away on April 5th. She had been battling heart, I'm sorry, health complications from Crohn's and diabetes for a couple years, and that it was hard to see her go. It's a relief

knowing that her pain is no more. We often awoke on Saturday mornings to oldies, specifically the beach boys, blaring on the stereo while mom baked or cleaned. When we finally pride ourselves out of bed and made it downstairs, we were greeted by her amazing smile and, Good morning. Did I wake you? May 5th being one month since we're passing, hearing a cover of or by the Beach Boys would be wonderfully appreciated. If May 5th is taken any day around them would be okay. Thanks again for all the amazing work you guys do.

Your show is always a highlight of my day. Best, Matt, in Marion, Pennsylvania. Sorry about that, Matt. Sorry about your mom. It's too young. It is absolutely too young. And I can't hear Marion, Pennsylvania without thinking about the song called Entering Marion. Anyway, it is exactly what you think it is.

Oh, wonderful. Okay. It's actually really funny. But let's talk about this song. It's so easy for me to pull a Beach Boys song and make it God Only Knows. But in this case, I'm not doing that because I really like this other beach boy. Well, there's a lot of Beach Boys songs I like. I love anything off of the Pet Sounds album, which was their answer to, or no, the Beatles, Sergeant Pepper was their answer to PetSense.

Sounds. Maybe I do have that reversed. Anyway, PetSounds is an amazing album. If you haven't heard it, go listen to that album. One of the songs on there was called Hang On to Your Ego, and it was written by Brian Wilson after he experienced an LSD, trying LSD for the first time. He wrote the lyrics to this song. And even though it doesn't reference drugs directly, Mike Love knew the story behind it. Mike Love being one of the vocalists for The Beach Boys said, I'm not going to sing that. And so Brian Wilson rewrote it. it as I know there's an answer.

This version by Aaron Sprinkle, my God, Ferby is still talking in the background. You're Furby is seriously vocal, man. He really is, yeah, exactly. Won't stop. It won't stop. I know. I should like snip his little speaker wire, but I don't want to. Anyway, this is a cover by Aaron Sprinkle where he actually combines elements from both the

original, hang on to your ego and the rewrite. know there's an answer. This is part of Pace magazine sampler, issue one. It is a cover by Aaron Sprinkle of the Beach Boys. Here is, I know there's an answer. Perfect. We'll see you guys tomorrow for another episode of TMS. They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zone. Now what can you tell them? And what can you say that won't make them defensive? I know there's an answer. I know now, but I have to find out. by myself

They come on like they're peaceful But inside they're so of time They trip through the day And waste all their thoughts at night Now how can I say it And how can I come on? when I know I'm guilty Hang on to your ego

Hang on But I know that you're gonna lose Fine Now how can I come on And tell them the way that they live could be better I know now, but I have to find it by myself. So hang on to your ego. Hang on, but I know that you're going to lose the fight.
